[00:00] zebastian: Just occurred to me that you can just mute the mic. [00:00] ActionParsnip: yes, new user means pidgin works [00:00] i download planenshift in my transmission and i donot know what to do [00:00] whats a good file recovery app for ubuntu, prefer it be GUI and not some other distro live CD like Knoppix, [00:00] KenBW2: ok so now we know its your profile [00:00] ActionParsnip: however [00:01] ActionParsnip: enabling "Show icon in system tray" crashes pidgin, with the aforementioned X error [00:01] heya everyone! i am here! [00:01] hmm, what could be wrong if I first install gnome-shell from repos. Removes it, adds the PPA to sources tries to install it, which doesnt work. Then tries to go back to the old repo one. And still dont work. What could have hahpend? [00:01] seanbrystone: you can just restore from your backups, you can also use foremost if you have failed to make any backups [00:01] KenBW2: log a bug then [00:02] i looked at the documentation and it says my wifi card is supported and works out of the box [00:02] ActionParsnip, yeah theres no backups, and what do you mean, "restore from your backups"? [00:02] seanbrystone: you can run foremost in a livecd so the partition is not busy [00:02] ActionParsnip: no point till ive found the source of the problem [00:02] its not working tho [00:02] steven_, there are plenty of guides on how to use it. the planeshift website is a good start. [00:02] seanbrystone: if your data is important then you should have a backup system [00:02] ok [00:02] KenBW2: have you tried the pdgin dev ppa? [00:03] ActionParsnip: i have the same problem with other tray-based apps so it's not Pidgin [00:03] KenBW2: sounds like the notification area is screwed then [00:03] ActionParsnip: why the X error then? [00:03] is there a possibility that my wifi card isnt activated? how would i go about activating because the driver should be on my computer [00:03] ActionParsnip, I keep two backups actually (that i forgot about) sbackup and back in time, thanks for reminding me, i had a duh moment! :) [00:04] Well, LD can't find the libraries. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby [00:04] but foremost sounds cool, can you explain more about that? [00:04] seanbrystone: backups will always save the day :) [00:04] hey all, if i have an agp slot, and buy a video card from newegg that is agp 4x or 8x , would it still be compatible. [00:04] natetheis, LD doesn't mean much [00:05] skrite, with ubuntu ?

[00:55] I installed Ubuntu (yay) and it's working really well (yay) but sadly, I miss a few of my former Windows games, and so I'm considering installing XP as a dual-boot. I found one website that gives me a walkthrough (http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm), but unfortunately that walkthrough is already failing on step 2. Can anyone give me instructions or point me somewhere that has them? Ubuntu is insta [00:55] lled, I now want to bring XP into the fold. === goose is now known as goose|ODST [00:56] what should I do to use my laptops built-in IR receiver [00:57] Lxndr: Not sure what step 2 is but is it because you have Ubuntu on the first partition? [00:57] wihtout clicking your link Lxndr; simply use gpardted, install windows; put a livecd in and run grub install [00:57] Lxndr: ... bacause XP can only go on first partition... [00:58] hi [00:58] Lxndr, depending on the specific game you want to run, look at Wine, it may already support your game, alternatively also consider using virtualbox.org .. package available via synaptic [00:58] i am busy building my own ubuntu distro [00:58] hey ubuntu people, is there an easy way to set a custom menu item (on the main menu in gnome) to run as root (via sudo)? [00:58] but i am stuck with an install system [00:58] the system has no gui [00:58] Kittymew, right click menu > select edit, prefix commands with gksudo [00:58] gksudo? Thanks. [00:59] anyone have idea how to make an install [00:59] hipitihop, The game I want to run is not behaving well in WINE, sadly. (Which is annoying, since it behaves in WINE on my laptop). [00:59] te_ Step 2 says "back up the grub boot menu." Which apparently is at /boot/grub/menu.lst (according to the page) but that file does not exist on my box. [00:59] Lxndr, most likely because the two machine have different video cards ? [01:00] Lxndr: If that is the case, there is no real easy way to fix that type of problem. If intend to install XP, you need to do it first, or, you need to leave a partition at the first of the drive and reserve it for XP. [01:00] pou: are you still on [01:00] airtonix, The problem happens before the game loads. [01:00] steven_: yes [01:00] Lxndr, as do most things related to videos cards and wine [01:00] !grub2 | Lxndr [01:00] Lxndr: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

I also get access denied in some circumstances. Any Suggestions? [01:03] steven_: you can see the progression so you should know if it's finished or not [01:03] te_: I mean like the + sign next to directories in tree mode [01:04] steven_, you need to clarify the situation. 1) you have transmission running 2) you have it loaded with a torrent 3) the torrent is in the seeding stage 4) but its not 100% downloaded ... [01:04] but without moving into the dir on double click [01:04] I want it to expand instead [01:04] seanbrystone, who is airstrike ? [01:04] Could it be that I am not using the correct encryption?

[01:04] i meant airtonix sorry airstrike [01:04] ok thank you [01:05] steven_: that was a question. You need to tell us more [01:05] Curly_Q: You need to give more details. [01:06] Te, I have root access, e.g., root@Me I was denied acces to the directory I am interested in. [01:06] Curly_Q: Not sure we understand your situation. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:07] Curly_Q: Check file permissions. [01:07] Curly_Q: ls -ld [01:07] Are you saying Te that I need to give myself as rood access file permissions? [01:07] rood = root [01:08] Curly_Q: I'm saying that you need to see what the file permissions are, (as that may be what is causing you to not have access). [01:09] Curly_Q: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3127/ [01:10] There was an "Unexpected token" [01:12] I found an article that discusses removing absolutely sudo and root permissions. I know that is not the best thing in the world but on an infrastructure behind a firewall, that is not a problem. [01:13] I could always put back the sudo structure. [01:13] Curly_Q: If you globally change file permissions, it could very well cause a problem. [01:13] Curly_Q: sudo is not just for protection from outsiders, it's also to prevent you from accidentally destroying your system [01:13] i am on hardy heron trying to install skype and i cant it says dependency not satisfiable libasound2 [01:13] I agree. [01:15] Hi! I need some help :P [01:15] Just installed ubuntu on my desktop, and updated, but my sound seems to not work. Everything seems fine except there isn't sound.

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:16] after a kernel update, grub2 started showing 2 options, the new one, and the old one [01:16] Socraton: Nothing is muted? Everything turned up? [01:16] Te my other question is: Are the old SSH clients compatible with the Ubuntu ssh and should I be using sshd instead? [01:17] !sound | Socraton [01:17] Socraton: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:17] te: It was muted by default, but I unmuted it. Didn't do anything [01:17] Curly_Q: sshd is the ssh server. [01:17] hm, ok. I'll check it out. [01:17] I have Ubuntu installed on my computer. I want to keep *everything* I have currently installed, the custom configurations to my various programs, et cetera. I also want to dual boot with XP. How can I accomplish both these goals? [01:17] if I enter the new kernel, it starts flashing a terminal and I can't do anything [01:17] Te so the d stands for daemon? [01:18] Curly_Q: You are correct [01:18] Thanks Te. [01:18] I read, and I think it has to do with the NVIDIA drivers, and I was told that if I reinstall them, it would work again [01:19] now, the problem is, that I downgraded to grub1, and now there's no list… it just starts with the new kernel version and I can't fix it [01:19] I did an apt-get and it works. But what about the "Encryption Algoriths, could that be my problem? [01:19] Lxndr: If Ubuntu occupies the first partition, you will not be able to install XP until you move Ubuntu off of it. (XP will only boot from first partition.) [01:19] what should I do? [01:20] te_: How do I move Ubuntu? [01:20] Algoriths? [01:20] Algorithms? [01:21] Lxndr: ... and moving Ubuntu off of the first partition is a bit too complicated for us to discuss here on this channel. If you can talk someone into going to a private channel and providing you with step by step instructions, that will work for you, but, as I said, it is a bit complicated. [01:21] NinoScript, sudo update-grub [01:21] has anyone had any problems with gnome shell? when I do "gnome-shell --replace" I get no run box with alt+f2, no workspaces, and no panel [01:22] I'm using nvidia, with a 190 driver installed from the command line and all updates (including kernel) installed [01:22] I'm on 8.04 and I've royally messed up my display in displayconfig-gtk. What can I do [01:22] joshuah: Not sure what gnome-shell is. [01:22] joshuah; i think gnome-shell is meant to replace the whole paradigm of panel, workspaces, alt-f2 run [01:22] what tool do you all use to find and remove duplicate audio files? [01:23] i.e. you use the gnome-shell stuff instead of the panel [01:23] joshuah, stay away from gnome shell if you want to use the run box etc [01:23] Random832: yeah, but I don't even get the gnome-shell time/calendar/panel thing (I've used it before, but it doesn't seem to be working for me now) [01:23] te_: Is there no website with spelled out step-by-step instructions? [01:23] joshuah: You should try #gnome-shell [01:24] Lxndr: Not sure. I'll look around and see. [01:24] Hi all. I followed the directions for playing DVDs and it doesn't work http://shibuvarkala.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-play-dvd-in-ubuntu-910-karmic.html How can I troubleshoot this? Thank you in advance. [01:24] te_: #gnome-shell isn't a channel [01:24] te_: 'step 3' of the website I posted (http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=3) seems to give such instructions. Could you scan it and let me know if it's accurate? [01:24] I'm on 8.04 and I've royally messed up my display in displayconfig-gtk. What can I do? [01:26] hi [01:26] is anyone there [01:26] ??

[01:27] clipse: if nobody answers your question try in #networking [01:27] my question was more of a poll... on if people believe it's better to have dedicated nameservers for a group of web servers... or use the nameservers on the web servers themselves. [01:27] ipatrol, tried it in the command line? [01:27] with iwconfig? [01:27] Curly_Q, what do you mean permissions? file permissions?

[01:28] File and directory. [01:28] Curly_Q, right click? ;) [01:28] Lxndr: Looks like you've got it there.

[01:28] Jaimie: I also added the network manually, still no luck [01:28] buttons840: can't say, I'd think that's not the case, check maybe the latest version, I've used 2003 version, is not filesystem dependent, just partition or disk based [01:29] buttons840, check out clonezilla at http://clonezilla.org/ it's a livecd that supports both MS and Linux partitions [01:29] te_: Said website advises I 'back up the grub boot menu' but the file it specifies does not exist on my computer. Do you know how I could go about doing that? [01:29] what security are you using ipatrol? [01:29] clipse: is the port binding? [01:29] wep or wpa?

[01:30] blakkheim: Our security team told them that [01:30] depends; the chances of a person with the knowledge to hack WEP are slim [01:30] and also if you need to support legacy hardware [01:30] Lxndr: If you have 9.10, it does not use /boot/grub/menu.lst see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:30] you dont have that choice [01:31] Jaimie: It's a small store [01:31] I'm on 8.04 and I've royally messed up my display in displayconfig-gtk. What can I do?!?! [01:31] ZykoticK9: thanks. I think the link just tries the first method. I'm gonna reboot and try the 2nd method if it doesn't work. The DVD should autorun when I put it in, right? Or at least I should see a DVD/CD icon in my desktop, right?

[01:33] Archanamiya, There is a way to set you config back to stock with dpkg. [01:33] densone, awesome! how do I do it? [01:34] CultOfTheGlenda: why not just repartition? it may just even be quicker, and you may just settle for ext4 or such [01:34] How do i do that in XP? [01:34] CultOfTheGlenda, you don't. [01:34] oh [01:35] CultOfTheGlenda: you don't ah... you do it from a live-cd boot [01:35] I haven't used Linux since Corel Linux. so I forgot a bit. [01:35] densone, awesome! how do I do it? [01:35] CultOfTheGlenda, 1) insert live cd 2) select install 3) select use whole drive 4) ??? 5) profit [01:35] Archanamiya, look in /etc/x11.conf . I think its dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org [01:35] I have a sony netbook that doesn't have usb boot capability. At sudo what command string will allow me to boot from usb to install Remix? [01:35] densone, ok let's do this [01:35] So is there a Linux like Corel Linux?

[01:37] hi , I'm using ubuntu 9.10 (updated from 9.04) , I've just plugged in a Samsung laser printer, and ubuntu detected that I plugged it in the usb port , then it let me choose from a list of printers to configure , and I found the right model , and selected it. But the printer doesn't print the test page. The print jobs wait. And from time to time , a yellow banner appears up-right that says 'maybe the printer lm-xyz is disconnecte [01:37] Archanamiya, is that what it says in the comments? [01:37] yes [01:37] CultOfTheGlenda: Corel Linux stopped being made years ago [01:38] Archanamiya, go for it. Then restart the xserver [01:38] yes i said it died in 1999 or 2000 [01:38] ok === Nadine is now known as sYk [01:38] CultOfTheGlenda: the command you gave would delete / in a Linux distro and result in it being rather well messed up.

I upgraded my linux, and I copied the contents of my home directory. Now when I copied my home directory back, the permissions are now root. I need the permissions and uid of the files and directories *inside* the home directory to match the permissions of the home directory. How do I get it to copy or apply those uid and permissions?

[01:43] I need for the files and directories inside "/home/homeusername/" to match that of "/home/homeusername/" [01:43] How can i recover files from ubuntu or even fix ubuntu without having to reformat [01:43] hello everyone [01:43] for permissions and owner [01:43] CultOfTheGlenda: also useually more advanced Desktop Linux users don't use Ubuntu at all, because they are using other distro/s instead, or they use other distros and Ubuntu [01:43] BlueSTARS, check out #ubuntu+1 [01:44] BlueSTARS: X needs HAL. [01:44] does anyone know how to force ubuntu into VGA mode or a low video mode when booting ? [01:44] tpirat5, not sure how much this will help you, but pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 will drop you to a text terminal [01:44] Right now I'm on the LiveCD [01:44] symptom, thanks [01:44] BlueSTARS: If you run a headless server, it's fine. [01:44] what is the best video player for Ubuntu? [01:44] I just kinda started using OS X, I think it can mostly do what Linux can do, I just can't edit its source code [01:44] BlueSTARS, they do the current beta version support and discussion [01:44] datadigger, i thought Lucid was supposed to run without headless [01:44] !best | aouldr78 [01:44] aouldr78: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[01:45] cultofglenda, osx is derived from Unix [01:45] i have a custom ubuntu livecd, does anyone know how i can install this to hdd [01:45] BlueSTARS: X server needs HAL to probe the hardware [01:45] Best video player depends on the DE you are using. [01:45] OS X is unix [01:45] CultOfTheGlenda: many commands are for loads of distro's some commands like sudo apt-get install programname are only for Debian and Debian based distros such as Ubuntu [01:45] Archanamiya, I am very happy to hear. Make sure you always backup your configs [01:45] CultOfTheGlenda: or well distros based on Ubuntu, well other distros don't tend to use sudo [01:45] densone, for sure. thanks again :D [01:46] Archanamiya, good luck [01:46] CultOfTheGlenda, technically OS X is a BSD [01:46] OS X is UNIX go look it up [01:46] CultOfTheGlenda: maybe you want a re cap on commands or something so [01:46] !terminal | CultOfTheGlenda [01:46] CultOfTheGlenda: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[02:01] not always... then you won't have permission to the files inside [02:01] CultOfTheGlenda, prefix your messages with recipients name...

You precede your commands with sudo when you want them to run as root [02:02] PeterT, or as another user [02:02] i am looking for a deb file for skype for hardy heron [02:02] Look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/390734/ [02:02] PeterT: More exactly, it remembers the password for sudo for 5 minutes. You still need to preface the command with it. If you need to type a lot of commands, you can do "sudo bash" to launch a bash shell as root but BE CAREFUL!!! [02:02] happy woman day for your girl . [02:02] I can't do anything as a regular user, but with sudo, supybot doesn't want to run [02:02] dj_segfault: Ahhh [02:02] PeterT, You may want to set your permissions up properly on the directories [02:02] PeterT: What I do is I have a gnome-terminal setting for a root window that sets a red background so I can't accidentally type commands in it thinking they're running as me [02:02] how do we play mkv file with enable subs on Ubuntu 9.10 ? [02:03] PeterT: You can't destroy Walmart but when you're granted with power, you can! :) [02:03] today: VLC should do that [02:03] uhm, i dont thing so joshuah [02:03] kinja-sheep, haha [02:03] densone: How do I do that?

I tried cp a folder from ubuntu to media/Fat 32 and it showed the folder being there but when i came back into windows the folder was there [02:06] densone: Can I do that for all directories somehow?

[02:10] mcurran, no because you don't send packets directly the person you chat with, they go to a server and the server sends them on for you...

Nevermind [02:23] ThaDoc, because thats where samba determines the workgroup name to use? [02:23] hi im on a fresh install of 9.10, how do I make it so that windows is the default OS to boot from grub? [02:24] i am a stern fan. haven't listened to him in ages. at least 5 years [02:24] sina: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. There's an entry in there called default. You have to change that. [02:24] sina you need to edit grub.conf [02:24] or menu.lst === root is now known as Guest21370 [02:24] ThaDoc, also you'd find this useful : http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/smbclient/ [02:24] I have 2 pop mail accounts configured in my Evolution client; I currently have a filter to separate mails from one of them to a folder; none of them support IMAP, is there a way to have them in separate folders (not using a filter)? evolution docs say is not possible but I was hopping for a plug in or something like that. [02:24] but my workgroup name I changed, and I cannot remember what it was how do i figure it out, because that file says WORKGROUP on it but I had already changed it and I need to figure out what it is [02:24] sina, dj_segfault is correct [02:25] symptom, what [02:25] hey sina I havn [02:25] ThaDoc, so how did you change it (one would think that was the logical way to find out what you changed it to ) [02:25] hey sina I havn't seen you for a long time [02:26] do i know you? :P [02:26] no [02:26] !ot | brian_ [02:26] brian_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:28] how stable is chrome in ubuntu [02:28] Chrome works like a charm for me [02:29] sina: More stable than firefox ;) [02:29] Samual, download the DEB from http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php [02:29] ZykoticK9, the 9.10 deb doesn't work for it, incorrect dependencies. [02:30] ZykoticK9, I don't know how to build dependency lists from a .deb file [02:30] Samual, oh sorry didn't see the all important 9.04 -- i doubt it will work anymore in 9.04 sorry (something about a GTK update or something) [02:30] Samual, http://www.google.com.au/search?q=handbrake+ppa [02:32] CultOfTheGlenda, only if you want to mount macosx drives [02:32] airtonix, meh probably should've just done that in the first place ^_^ I was looking for the easy way out, anyway thanks that will work. [02:32] hello all, who here uses Kontact for Kubuntu? [02:32] Samual, can't get much easier than that really [02:33] how come my drives don't mount automatically when ubuntu 9.10 starts? [02:33] !ask | khider [02:33] khider: 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. :-) [02:33] airtonix, the more lazy I can be the better [02:33] airtonix, that's what I meant. [02:33] someone said I had to edit my /etc/fstab but I'm not sure how to add the line [02:33] Can Kontact send under multiple alias? [02:33] ^_^ [02:33] chd: man fstab [02:33] Samual, if you're still around let me know if it does work in 9.04, thanks [02:33] I have business e-mails and personal send from different addresses [02:33] chd, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [02:33] It looks like Kontact can onlu send under one laias [02:34] alias [02:34] khider, keep it on one line. [02:34] ZykoticK9, well, I don't need to use it right now precisely, but I will in about an hour.. If you're still on, i'll PM you about it later then? [02:34] yes, sir! [02:34] hello [02:34] Samual, thanks [02:34] everytime i boot i get a 'error: invalid enviroment block" i have to press e and edit out some line before it will boot. [02:34] my grub also says 1.97 =/ [02:35] Can Kontact under kubuntu send e-mails under multiple alias'? [02:35] Good day all! I am trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 64bit on my system... Athlon X2 5000, 3GB, 200GB (WD) & 500GB (Fujitsu) SATA drives.. for some reason, the disc partition does not recognize the 200GB drive, it does recognize the 500. [02:36] khider, you mean can kontact use multiple email accounts ? [02:36] during updates, its asking me what i want to do with grub [02:37] bluedalek, doesn't recongnise? doesn't show it on the list? won't format it ? which do you mean ? [02:37] keep local version is the safe option right [02:37] I have 2 pop mail accounts configured in my Evolution client; I currently have a filter to separate mails from one of them to a folder; none of them support IMAP, is there a way to have them in separate folders (not using a filter)? evolution docs say is not possible but I was hopping for a plug in or something like that. [02:37] airtonix: I know it can handle multiple incoming e-mails, but to 'send' e-mails, can you pick the lais to 'send' from? [02:37] darolu, not with out creating a plugin no. filters are your only way [02:38] airtonix, does not recognize it at all. Not listed. It does currently have Kubuntu 9.10 32bit installed, and boots fine. Want to upgrade to 64bit due to new hardware. [02:38] khider, i dont know have you tried setting up more accounts? i dont use kontact...only evolution. [02:38] airtonix: If I send from my business address or personal--it only allows to send from one address. I cannot choose from which address I wish to send from [02:39] bluedalek, maybe do a fsck on it then try again ? [02:39] khider, so you want the email to look like its been sent from two email addresses ? [02:39] airtonix, stupid question.. whats the best way to do that? I'm not too literate when it comes to the console [02:40] airtonix: No, if I receive an busness e-mail, I want to send from my business account. If I receive a personal e-mail, I want to send from my personal account [02:41] I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. [02:41] khider, like i said, i don't use kontact... but it seems that you would first need to have both your email accounts setup before you can choose? [02:41] khider: like a lot of applications it seems kontact supports multiple identities. do you have more than one identity configured? [02:41] I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. [02:41] khider, you should ask in #kubuntu [02:42] brjann: Hey thanks--yeah ) have my business -mails and personal hooked up [02:42] two finger scroll doesn't work on my laptop unless I run this script. http://pastebin.com/D103kxkp but sometimes it randomly stops working. Is there a better way to make this a permanent change? [02:42] I had the same trouble with Evolution, and it would be nice to use just one e-mail client instead of several [02:42] I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. [02:43] bonjours [02:43] airtonix: thanks man, seems like I'll have to write it myself then, may take a while as I have no idea how evolution works inside :( [02:43] darolu, i'd start with getting the python-evolution package [02:44] khider: take a read-through here, he sets up two identities and links them to a number of accounts. maybe you'll find some useful information: http://www.slackermedia.info/kontact/index.html [02:44] !info python-evolution | darolu [02:44] darolu: python-evolution (source: gnome-python-desktop): Python bindings for the evolution libraries. In component main, is optional. Version 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 87 kB, installed size 284 kB [02:44] bryanh: Thanks! [02:44] <[V13]Axel> Quick question. The system requirements for Ubuntu Jaunty include 256MB of system RAM. I've installed it inside Windows on a 1.6GHz, 256MB PC with a GeForce2MX, and every single time I attempt to log in, it's frozen at the login screen. [02:44] how do I make changes from the command "xinput set-int-prop" permanent? [02:44] airtonix: thanks, I appreciate it [02:45] <[V13]Axel> Can anyone help? [02:45] Anyone know why my THEMES are all mixed up? Gnome Karmic [02:45] darolu, you will also need to become familiar with dbus : here is one chap doing some python stuff with evolution : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323620 [02:45] Mimi: mixed up how? [02:46] [V13]Axel: do you mean in a virtual machine? like wubi? if you did so, it is a miracle you were able to install it [02:46] darolu, wubi is not a virtual machine. [02:46] [V13]Axel: Sounds like your running out of RAM [02:46] I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. [02:46] jefinc, (sorry, I should elaborate). What mean, is that say, I pick Clearlooks, BUT then it looks like Elementary! And then I pick Human, and it still looks like my other theme, Elementary [02:46] <[V13]Axel> darolu, I meant wubi, not a virtual machine. [02:46] how do I make changes from the command "xinput set-int-prop" permanent? [02:47] <[V13]Axel> te_: I've had it running on an identical system, and I've tried re-installing it three times on this one. I don't know how this one could be different. Same mobo, same brand of RAM, everything. Even the HDDs are identical. [02:48] airtonix: I -read/heard- wubi has two ways to install and one worked like a VM, but I don't really know as I have never tried it though. I'm already reading the link you sent me, thanks again man. [02:48] <[V13]Axel> sirninja: Are you being forced to do this command every time you start up? If so, you could make your computer perform the command every time you startup, by placing it in /etc/rc.local [02:48] [V13]Axel: Sounds like a hardware issue. Try installinug more RAM or different / more RAM. [02:48] I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. [02:49] [V13]Axel: right now I'm having to do it under startup under gnome, but that's been unreliable for some reason is rc.local a better place to put these kind of things? [02:49] <[V13]Axel> darolu: Wubi installs Ubuntu inside an NTFS partition with a hard drive image. It reads from that hard drive as if it were a physical drive, ignoring the space around the image file. It runs as a regular install, reading from a single file as a hard drive. [02:50] join #kubuntu [02:50] leave [02:50] I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. [02:50] <[V13]Axel> rc.local is a script that is run EVERY time the system is started, running with root privileges. It's basically like the equivalent of DOS and Win9x's autoexec.bat. It runs commands on startup. [02:50] PeterT, you need to be more descriptive than that [02:50] [V13]Axel: if the minimum requirement for jaunty is 256MB RAM, and the minimum requirement for WindowsXP is 256MB RAM, and you have 256MB RAM, you're 256MB RAM short, no? [02:50] airtonix: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/65491-no-more-ptys-sorry-could-not-find-pty.html [02:51] [V13]Axel: Try to get more ram, or installing with "the regular" method; I have a PIII @ 650Mhz with 384MB of RAM running Debian 5 amazingly -fast- (considering the hardware), it has a 128MB Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 though. [02:51] airtonix: That's exactly my problem [02:51] Can anyone please help me install my proper ATI drivers? I'm having trouble installing them for my Mobility Radeon 9600 card. Tried so many solutions and still can't get it. [02:51] airtonix: But I couldn't really understand the solution [02:51] PeterT, this is a ubuntu channel not a redhat channel [02:51] <[V13]Axel> jefinc: No, I've had it working perfectly fine. [02:51] airtonix: Same problem, different OS [02:51] PeterT, so you not using ubuntu then? [02:51] [V13]Axel: with Jaunty? or a previous version? [02:51] airtonix: I am [02:51] [V13]Axel: We think you need more system resources. [02:51] <[V13]Axel> darolu: I can't currently, as I don't have a way to burn the iso to a disc. I'm going to try installing with the regular method later, once I have complete access. [02:51] <[V13]Axel> jefinc: With Jaunty. [02:52] <[V13]Axel> te_: That's the thing. I've had the EXACT same setup, wubi and all, running on an identical machine. I'm going to drop to command line and see if I can startx. [02:52] PeterT, are you familiar with manager users and groups ? [02:52] PeterT, managing * [02:52] airtonix: No [02:53] PeterT, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto [02:53] airtonix: I'm using SSH, that link is of no use to me [02:53] Can anyone please help me install my proper ATI drivers? I'm having trouble installing them for my Mobility Radeon 9600 card. Tried so many solutions and still can't get it. [02:53] PeterT, not my problem. install links2 [02:53] airtonix: Never mind, there is a command line part [02:54] sudo adduser billgates :) [02:54] <[V13]Axel> Des_: What do you mean? What's the occurring problem? The drivers will not take? [02:54] airtonix: So, do I add the user to the group "tty" as instructed on the foruM [02:54] [V13]Axel: I cannot play 3d games nor change my resolution above 1024 [02:55] [V13]Axel: It's obvious that it's not detecting the drivers and whenever I try to install them, it doesn't make a difference. [02:55] <[V13]Axel> Des_: In System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, does it show any enabled? [02:55] [V13]Axel: Nope. [02:55] PeterT, no idea. i don't run game servers. but without a basic understanding of how to manipulate users and groups you're not going to get very far [02:55] My themes are mixed up. Say I pick ClearLooks. Great. Then I pick DarkRoom. Uh oh! It looks mixed between DarkRoom and Clearlooks! Then I pick Dust. Now it looks like a mix between DarkRoom and Dust! What the bunny!?? It happens with all themes. What's wrong? [02:56] [V13]Axel: The ATI Catalyst is unsupported. So I tried using EnvyNG and other drivers...still nothing. [02:56] <[V13]Axel> Des_: Just a basic troubleshooting method.. Have you updated everything? sudo apt-get update? [02:56] Mimi, does it provide error message that reads like : you are missing blah engine ? [02:56] airtonix: Thanks anyway [02:56] [V13]Axel: I believe so, but I will do that anyway. [02:56] airstrike, hmm.. no, it doesnt [02:56] <[V13]Axel> Des_: Okay. It's just troubleshooting. Start with the simple things and work your way up. [02:56] Question: Do you think 20GB is enough for LAMP development machine? [02:57] [V13]Axel: Sounds good. Let me try that. [02:57] progesterone, it's a bit overkill to be honest [02:57] progesterone: for sure, unless you're hosting files [02:57] progesterone: entirely dependant on your needs [02:57] airstrike, but some themes say that Nuovo-something theme isn't installed [02:57] [V13]Axel: I should also mention that I'm a windows user new to ubuntu [02:57] airtonix What do you mean? [02:57] <[V13]Axel> Des_: If the problem persists, I'll be on in the morning, but for now, I have to get off of here. I'm going to remain online (Or try), and if you need ANY help at all, PM me. [02:57] airstrike, Nuovo ICON theme, that is ^^;; [02:58] <[V13]Axel> Des_: Okay, I was one about a year ago, so I know where you're coming from :D [02:58] [V13]Axel: So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do after all this stuff lists and it says 99% waiting for headers. [02:58] [V13]Axel: That's comforting. [02:58] progesterone, of all the times i've backed up my apache root and mysql files... its never come to more than 1gb (and thats running lots of different development sites) [02:59] airtonix jefinc mdel Thanks [02:59] <[V13]Axel> Des_: Well, in a year's time, you become very familiar with a lot of things in Ubuntu. I'm not going to say I know everything, but I'm pretty good at a lot of things. [02:59] Mimi, the situation you describe only occurs when a theme can't find the engine it requires... [03:00] <[V13]Axel> Des_: Anyway, if you ever need support, just PM me. I should be on tomorrow morning for a while, and tomorrow afternoon all day. Goodnight, all. [03:00] Mimi, it also sounds like you are using the first layer theme selector list . customise a theme and switch 'control themes' [03:00] [V13]Axel: Thanks. [03:01] airstrike, Yeah, when I go to Customize, any Control Theme looks mixed up too. Say, the colors will change, but the buttons, scroll bars, might look like another theme, where the rest of the interface changes [03:01] Mimi, you should get an error message when switching control themes around. [03:01] airstrike, I'll run the Appearances from the Terminal [03:02] Mimi, i mean the error will appear below the control theme selector list [03:02] airstrike, oh, no, there isn't one there when I change themes [03:03] When doing apt-get operations, the "reading database" step is very slow. Is there any way to clean, rebuild, or otherwise optimize that database? [03:03] Dr_Mike: get an ssd or faster hd [03:04] when I try to edit my fstab I cant save it. how do I open it so that I can save it? [03:04] chd: sudo vi /etc/fstab [03:04] blakkheim, thanks [03:04] chd: or sudo vim /etc/fstab [03:04] blakkheim: um, no. whatever format that DB is in, it shouldn't degrade in this manner [03:05] whats the difference between vi and vim [03:05] chd: vim has more features, but vi is smaller [03:05] vim command not found [03:05] chd: That solves that. [03:06] chd: either install vim or just use vi like i said befor [03:06] gotcha [03:06] e [03:07] f [03:09] chd, blakkheim or just use nano (which is installed by default) [03:09] Hello , In firestarter events list, I see loads of blocked connections to port 37315 from different IP addresses, any ideas what is this port for?

Is there another similar package to use instead? [03:18] !webmin | neil_d [03:19] neil_d: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:19] fossilxyz, if you cant even ping. Its likely routing or a connectivity issue . Have it worked before? [03:19] it has, the only big change, is i let it install samba so i can share the printer [03:19] etzerd: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg.conf [03:19] or dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:19] it worked after that for a bit, but then all of a sudden... nothing [03:19] why would the following be showing up on a local network ? the net is up and there are no issues with reaching the server ntpd is running on. no servers reachable ntpd [03:20] peanut_bu: NO SPAM [03:20] etzerd: Or: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [03:20] in rhw Connection Info box I see the internet (wlan2) the asssigned IP (same as router tells me) the default route make sense [03:20] thats why i am sooo confused [03:21] if it wasnt' acquiring IP info I'd know where to dig around, but since it is showing an IP and the router is seing the computer, i am dumbfounded [03:21] fossilxyz, can you ping the system from another computer? [03:21] fossilxyz: iwconfig essid wlan0 linksys ; dhclient wlan0 [03:21] no, can't ping it from a diff computer [03:22] http://imgnow.info/DSC-7-03-10.jpg/ do my tits look small? [03:22] which multimedia player do you advice ? [03:22] fossilxyz: (where "linksys" is the essid of your wifi router.) [03:22] te_ should I change the linksys to my SSID? [03:22] ok right [03:23] also on my system its wlan2 should I do wlan2 or wlan0 as you say? [03:23] ZykoticK9: ok I will try ebox. [03:23] fossilxyz: What ever your wifi NIC is (wlan0 is just an example) [03:24] ? [03:24] fossilxyz: And you'll need to use sudo. [03:24] neil_d, i've never used ebox myself, but i get the impression it is VERY different from WebMin - just a heads up [03:24] fossilxyz: sudo iwconfig essid wlan2 linksys ; sudo dhclient wlan2 [03:24] so what do you all think my odds are on things not breaking if i dist-upgrade to debian [03:24] gives me an unkown command "wlan2" [03:25] ZykoticK9: ok! it is installing apache so it seems to be browser accessed. [03:25] are we missing a parameter? [03:25] aztek[tum]: We don't know for sure. [03:25] fossilxyz: sudo iwconfig wlan2 essid linksys ; sudo dhclient wlan2 [03:25] fossilxyz: Sorry, my mistake.

Is this normal? [03:29] fossilxyz: ifconfig [03:29] Kutakizukari, did you read the ubuntu wiki page i linked to you ? [03:29] Kutakizukari: thats ok [03:29] another thing I was playing with earlier trying to troubleshoot is ifdown/ifup and it gave me an error ignoring unknown interface wlan2=wlan2 [03:29] not sure if that means anything or maybe somhow it thinks there is more than one [03:29] airstrike, that is how I installed it [03:29] densone, ok thank you [03:29] Kutakizukari, then keep reading the page [03:29] ifconfig has eth0, lo, wlan2, wmaster0 [03:30] Kutakizukari, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:30] Kutakizukari, basically just cant lookup the hostname servername. Not an issue. [03:30] fossilxyz: if you are not getting proper IP information from the router, you can manually enter it. [03:30] airtonix: is this enoughe ? ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:31] no gtreamer? [03:31] dehqan, i dont know did you read the page ? [03:31] yes [03:31] te_, but I seemingly am, the router sees the machine, the IP seems to be correctly assigned and showing everywhere [03:31] fossilxyz, anything in iptables? [03:31] airtonix, looked through the whole page, not sure what I'm missing? [03:32] fossilxyz: Is the router giving access to internet? [03:32] te: it is, i am connecting through it to chat with you (via a Vista laptop) [03:32] Kutakizukari, are you able to browse to the web server you just setup? [03:32] I am trying to ssh into my ubuntu machine from an outside network and getting "connection refused". I can ssh (to port 22) from my internal network to this machine without a problem. I have also forwarded port 2222 on my router to port 22 on my ubuntu server. the command I am running (from the outside) is ssh -p 2222 myuser@123.123.123.123 (substitute my router's IP address). My iptables -L shows (policy ACCEPT) for INPUT/FORWARD/OUTPUT. root login is [03:32] fossilxyz: Then you are properly connected to the LAN. [03:33] densone, yes php works and mysql [03:33] Kutakizukari, good [03:33] densone, what am I looking for in iptables, it seems to say accept to everyting [03:33] fossilxyz: are there any other rules? [03:34] ruien: nmap -p 2222 123.123.123 or namp -p 22 123.123.123.123 [03:34] running iptables --list as sudo just shows chain input (accept) chain forward (accept) chain output (accept) [03:34] nothing else [03:34] Kutakizukari, also the proper way to restart apache on karmic is "sudo service apache2 restart|stop|start" [03:34] te_: thank you much, i will check it out. [03:34] Anyone here familiar with kdiff3? [03:34] ruien: anthing in messages or secure? [03:35] densone: i didn't check.. does sshd log in /var/log?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:35] te_ how do I check .... [03:35] ruien /var/log/messages [03:35] is there something that installing samba coulda messed up somehow? [03:35] ok. thx [03:35] err [03:35] airtonix, get the same thing but it spits it out three times [03:35] fossilxyz: nmap -p 113 ip.of.pc.in.question [03:35] ruien: /var/log/secure [03:36] I'm comparing files in dir A to B that needs to merged into C [03:36] fossilxyz: or nmap -p 113 ip.of.router [03:36] I'd like to save into C [03:36] Kutakizukari, how many entries do you have in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ ? [03:36] will ctrl-s do this or will it save into A [03:37] ahh nmap not installed on the machine [03:37] Kutakizukari: that message is going to popup unless you have a fqdn match. [03:37] gizmobay, you should join #kubuntu [03:37] airtonix, one file [03:37] gizmobay: something like cat a > c ; cat b >> c [03:38] (is there a way to reset all network rules?) i mean it used to work 5 hours ago, the only change was installins samba [03:38] Kutakizukari, did you just copy paste my example verbatim? [03:38] Kutakizukari, | means or. so you stop apache by using : sudo service apache2 stop [03:38] places and selected the folders [03:38] fossilxyz, does it work if you stop samba? [03:39] airtonix, yes typed it in terminal [03:39] hello, [03:39] No supported stream was found. You might need to install a GStreamer RTSP extension plugin for Real media streams. [03:39] densone, what is a fqdn match [03:39] what is the name of the package? [03:39] how do i stop samba? [03:39] Kutakizukari, thats why you got a response x3.. [03:39] sudo service samba stop? [03:39] Kutakizukari, Fully Qualified Domain Name [03:40] fossilxyz: yep, that should do it. [03:40] fossilxyz: or smb [03:40] Kutakizukari, fully qualified domain name. When you start Apache server it looks at the virtual host names in the config files. Yours is called ServerName. So it is looking for a dns match to ServerName. Apache will work fine. Its just a warning. Nothing to be alarmed about. [03:40] service stopped, no luck [03:41] Kutakizukari, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting Apache [03:41] says using 127.0.1.1 for ServeName is it as simple as changed the server name? [03:41] How do I get to the Horde chat? [03:41] I checked save original and did a ctrl-s. It saves to C [03:41] real weird i just noticed, under network connections in xwindows it has the Last used as Never for the Wireless SSID, as opposed to something like 1 min ago like it used to [03:41] fossilxyz: services-admin [03:41] Kutakizukari, you can ignore that message [03:41] Kutakizukari, you relly ought to read that whole page [03:42] te_: command not found both as regular and sudo [03:42] How do I get to: #horde channel on irc.freenode.net [03:42] fossilxyz, do you even have samba installed ? [03:42] happyhello, /join #horde [03:43] happyhello: /join #horde [03:43] Kutakizukari, airtonix is pointing out the fact that this error is described in that wiki doc. Search for ServerName in the link you got. [03:44] at this point not even sure.. during my earlier troubleshooting i used synaptic to mess with it 99% sure uninstalled at this point already [03:44] but then when i ran the sudo service samba stop it didn't give an errors [03:44] so maybe its still running [03:44] fossilxyz: dpkg -L samba [03:44] *sigh* all i wanted to do was share a printer .. *sighhh* [03:45] I want to run xp inside a virtual machine with working USB. What are my options? [03:45] fossilxyz: With a Linux machine? [03:45] no to a vista laptop , but lets get this linux back online first, before anything gets shared [03:45] hey :) [03:45] te: got about 10 lines of thing with samba (ufw, network, init.d, cron) [03:46] 我给freenode踢出去了 [03:46] 我被freenode踢出去了 [03:46] fossilxyz: or with a MS Windows pc? Ok with a Vista machine, you will need to install and configure samba [03:46] I need help : my friend is now on a Live CD and he can't log in, because Ubuntu ask him a password... [03:47] yea, but sharing that printer is problem #2, since the current machine that has the printer connected to it is the ubuntu pc that doesn't want to be friends with anyone on the network [03:47] but he is on a Live CD...?! [03:47] Found it and fixed, I skiped that part and could not remember that part when it says to restart it [03:47] Hello [03:47] Thank you guys very much for the help [03:47] can anyone tell me why the only driver that works with my 9500 gt is the 173.x.x and if I use a newer driver x won't start?? I tried every driver including beta and they all broke x except 173.x.x any ideas? [03:47] Kutakizukari: not a prob [03:48] fossilxyz: Can you ping the ubuntu PC yet?

I tried every driver including beta and they all broke x except 173.x.x any ideas? [03:50] fossilxyz: do you have a firewall running on it? [03:51] densone, I did not think that it did because it worked but I just wanted to know [03:51] no, not unless samba installed one during the install process [03:51] te_: running nmap from the outside shows my port 22 and port 2222 both as "filtered". Note that i need to add the -P0 flag (no ping) to nmap for it to work, even though ping 123.123.123.123 directly *does* work. It seems like my ubuntu server is filtering outside networks, but i don't see why or how. My /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure are empty, so it seems like the request isn't even getting that far.

(I'm using a 42'' LCD monitor and Geforce 6200 video card) ubuntu Karmic [04:04] i really love ubuntu so far.. just need to get around knowing it well enough to ditch windows [04:04] Redxross: no prob. I know tomcat well. Don't mind sharing knowledge. Just never installed it with apt before [04:05] densone, how do you normally install it and what is the difference? [04:06] Redxross: I usually use a tarball and write my own wrappers. But there is nothing wrong with using apt. I personally didn't know it existed in the apt repo. [04:06] # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings [04:06] # nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@leucaena) Wed Dec 23 23:29:52 UTC 2009 [04:06] Section "ServerLayout" [04:06] Identifier "Layout0" [04:06] Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 [04:06] Ubuntufan123: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:06] note to self, learn about tarball's [04:07] hello. [04:07] just posted x server settings [04:07] how do i get to the ubuntu support? [04:07] Redxross: mirrors are slow for me. Gonne be a few more minutes. Hang in there. Because Tomcat runs off of a JDK, there are no crazy build things that need to be done to make it run. A tarball is basically just a zip file [04:08] Redxross: tar zxvf tar-ball.gz ; ./configure ; make ; sudo make install [04:08] awesome, thanks guys [04:08] densone, i am very patient =) [04:08] Redxross: cool. at 70% gonna make some coffee. Brb [04:09] so again, x server settings don't save after boot even though I saved them as root to xorg.conf before rebooting [04:12] scadfux, this is the official ubuntu irc support channel :) [04:12] Redxross: ok , looking at the config files now [04:12] are there Stand-alone Mesa GL packages (e.g., software only) available? i have only found hardware-accelerated mesa packages available. [04:13] densone, cool [04:14] How do I set my soundcard to it's own IRQ? There's no clear way to do it in BIOS. [04:14] densone, basically i have about 10 .jar files which in windows I usually just put in the tomcat6\lib folder and then place the web app in the \tomcat6\webapp folder... basically i am trying to replicate the same in ubuntu [04:14] i just installed the flash plugin from the software library, but flash doesnt work in firefox.. ami doing something wrong? [04:14] Redxross: yup. looking now where that lib dir should be [04:15] densone, i think its supposed to be /usr/tomcat6/lib === Xintruder_ is now known as Xintruder [04:15] Redxross: is there a /usr/tomcat6? [04:15] densone, but when I try to copy and paste those files in there, it says not allowed and also all the files in that folder are link files pointing to somewhere else [04:16] densone, err /usr/share/tomcat6 [04:16] Redxross: thats the spot [04:17] looks like $catalina_home [04:17] densone, by dragging and dropping the files i get a permission denied error [04:17] yeah, you need permissions to do it [04:18] Redxross: lets see who the owner is [04:18] densone, using chmod? [04:18] Redxross: no you don't want to use chmod [04:18] I'm using an SVN PPA which has a broken dependency, one of the addon packages relies on an slightly older version of the main package, how can I force apt to install it anyway? [04:19] Redxross: you can add your user to the root group , or copy with sudo [04:19] I'm back from the game! [04:19] densone, how do i add myself to the root group? or do it with sudo? [04:20] Where are the jar files on the system? [04:20] dont root yourself .. [04:20] terroh8er: I'm a bit of a noob, so I don't have any brilliant ideas for you, but if you haven't, you might try following the steps in this mini-tutorial http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash [04:20] on my desktop [04:20] always use su [04:20] Redxross: By root group, densone means adm [04:20] Terroh8er: good luck. [04:20] Redxross: you can open a terminal and do something like sudo cp *.jar /usr/share/tomcat6/lib [04:21] densone, awesome let me try it [04:21] Hi. My DVD player (and my laptop) was bought in Europe, and now I can't play DVDs bought in the US. Is there anything I can do besides using the command regionset? Thank you. [04:21] lol.. see what happens when you come in late.. lol [04:21] Redxross: you need to be in the directory where the jar files are for that to work [04:21] gasull, no. [04:22] airtonix: And once I've changed the region 5 times... [04:22] gasull, you have a problem. [04:22] airtonix: at that point, can I buy a DVD player that won't have this problem? [04:22] gasull, this is a ubuntu support channel not a hardware channel [04:23] wooohoooo i got my wireless working [04:23] densone, oh it worked.. so does that mean I can't window drag and drop to do those type of operations where sudo permission is required? [04:23] airtonix: OK. I just joined #hardware. Thanks. [04:24] Redxross: if your user is in the admin group you can. I honestly don't know how to edit the groups from the ubuntu ui. (I only use ubuntu server) . I am sure you can find it in the admin panel though. [04:25] cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [04:25] whats the matter in 9.10? [04:25] having a problem with Firestarter. dhcp will assign addresses, but clients can not connect out. Firestarter is set to permissive, and gateway is connecting to internet. help please. [04:26] (firestarter policy set to permissive) [04:26] Souljah_: odd. Maybe you deleted the file? [04:26] densone, well thank you so much for your awesome help.. i learned a lot [04:26] negative [04:26] Redxross: Your welcome. Glad to hear. [04:26] the question is: should it be there in 9.10 still? [04:27] It's in my 9.10 installation [04:27] editet it in earlier versions, but nowaday its not really neccessary [04:27] Souljah_: not totally sure if its needed though [04:28] densone: hmm, same here [04:28] ty anyways [04:28] 2'nd time i start a program... and im not able to quit! no options for it... i typed ctrl d..ctrl c...ctrl alt del.. alt f4 ..alt f2... nothing happened... suddenly i get this command prompt where i had to log into... i have no idea what it was... desperat i had to push the reset button. how should i deal with this kind of issue next time ? [04:28] Souljah_: Im a server guy [04:28] ic :) [04:29] i should ask something abaout irssi in screen, huh :) [04:29] hey [04:29] oder som vim shortcuts :D [04:29] cmon... any1 plz ? [04:29] Souljah_: vim shortcuts all day [04:30] :) [04:30] densone, souljah ... plz [04:30] already was frightened u want to tell me sth.`bout nano xD [04:30] claws: sry :) [04:31] How do I display the file creation date in tty? [04:31] Souljah_: the IM lingo is extremely annoying. [04:31] claws, 1 sec . Looking at your question [04:31] elijah: ls -l [04:31] densone, gr8 :) [04:32] te_: If that is creation date then how do I get modification date? [04:32] !lol | claws [04:32] claws: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [04:32] i made a mistake... i did "chmod 777 ~/" in root, meant to chmod 777 the home dir of a user (not root). how do i reverse? what is the default in ubuntu 9.10? [04:32] te_: ls -l is not giving me the time I am looking for [04:32] claws, What was the app that froze? [04:32] elijah: It IS the modification date (if in fact, the file has been modified). [04:33] te_: I just extracted an archive to a folder, it overwrote the identical files, how do I show the time the files were overwritten by tar? [04:33] Or did tar see if they were identical and not overwrite? [04:33] Hey, I have FL Studio in Wine and when I try to start it I get a line in dmesg saying "Too big adjustment 32" [04:33] densone, it was "Tux Typing" [04:33] It used to work and I didn't get that before, now it doesn't start at all [04:33] bohemian 755 if im not mistaaken [04:34] elijah: Are you on ext3 or ext4? [04:34] tmukmkd: okay, thanks. that's what i did [04:34] te_: Not sure, remote server [04:34] elijah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614568 [04:34] elijah: there is no creation timestamp on ext3, which you probably use. [04:34] According to this, *nix doesn't store creation time, only modification time http://www.issociate.de/board/post/302628/How_to_check_file_creation_date.html [04:34] elijah: ls -lc [04:35] elijah: to be clear, it's not *nix that doesn't store it, it is the filesystem a lot of people choose (ext3) [04:35] #ubuntu-vn [04:36] why is ext3 [04:36] mneptok: That worked [04:36] elijah: the fstab file should tell you what filesystem you are using. [04:36] or fdisk -l [04:36] te_: Where is that [04:36] claws, From the terminal killall tuxtype [04:37] that should kill the program [04:37] wth is tuxtype? [04:38] Souljah_: kids typing tool it looks like [04:38] densone, i cant even open terminal... the program is on ToP of everything [04:38] kids don't need to be typing they need to get me a beer [04:38] psilo2: Gotcha [04:38] what is the easiest way to rip and convert an audio cd with .wav to .mp3 ? [04:39] leaving [04:39] sevol: lame [04:39] te_: How do I access fstab? [04:39] claws: ahh. And it hangs. Other than killing the X Server. No idea. Anyone else ? [04:39] sev lame file.wav file.mp3 [04:40] densone, Souljah_ [04:40] oops [04:40] elijah: gnome: sudo gedit /etc/fstab [04:40] sevol: lame file.wav file.mp3 [04:40] te_: ok, but is there a software that would do it all? rip all selected songs from cd n convert it? [04:40] Hello, I have a major problem. [04:40] but if you dont know that, think about what you do, this couldbe dangerous [04:40] claws: ctrl-alt-f1 and do it from there. [04:40] claws: you can set ctrl, alt, backspace to restart the xserver if it hangs [04:40] When it comes to Ubuntu, I'm a total dolt. [04:40] claws: waddup? [04:40] So listen, here's my problem. I'm using Ubuntu on my laptop that has a Broadcom wireless adapter thing.. [04:41] te_: right now what i mdoing is copy pasting the files in the audio cd which are in (wav) files to desktop then converting [04:41] And Ubuntu doesn't recognize my Broadcom adapter [04:41] psilo2: what does ctrl-alt-f1 do? [04:41] So I can't get internet [04:41] sevol: There are several front end GUI applications that will do that. grip is probably the simpliest and esiest to use, (IMO) [04:41] dougdoug, i just had the same problem [04:41] te_: how would i get that? apt-get install grip? [04:41] Souljah_: My webhost gives me a etc folder but no fstab [04:41] do you have any wired internet? [04:41] Me? [04:41] I do [04:41] densone: VTs. You get 6 of them in just about every modern linux. ctrl-alt-f[1-6] are the VTs, X is usually spawned on VT7. Try it. [04:41] Souljah_: Thanks though! [04:41] I'm on wired internet right now [04:41] That's how I'm here [04:42] elijah: you are chrooted [04:42] I installed virtualbox but inside the guest (win xp) I can't seem to get a network adapter. Any ideas? [04:42] but I want to be able to connect wirelessly [04:43] Question: Do you guys know what the working fix for slow internet connection on Ubuntu is? [04:43] psilo2: ohhh Totally forgot you could break out of x and use those [04:43] dougdoug4: i am a linux noob, but i also had a problem with my broadcom adapter (4312) .. i just activated the BW43 drivers though and it worked? [04:43] densone: Not sure what that means [04:43] progesterone: a faster internet connection. [04:44] progesterone: i'm having the same problem. i was just wondering the same thing [04:44] te_ no. The internet is ok with XP and Vista. [04:44] elijah: web hosting providers put you in chrooted virtual servers. You will not have things like fstabs in your chroot jail. [04:44] densone: for thoroughness, only alt-f[1-6] is necessary unless you're coming from X, then you need ctrl-alt- *shrug* [04:44] psilo2: thx [04:45] terroh8er__ I found many fixes but I'm not quite sure which one would be working for me. [04:45] densone: Gotcha, I guess I could just assume that I am on ext4 since ls -lc appears to work [04:45] progesterone: We would have to know more about your LAN and equipment, as in what network adapters and any such equipment used to connect to the internet. [04:45] elijah: see anything by typing mount? [04:45] psilo2: I see a bunch with "mount" [04:45] progesterone: We would also need to know how you are testing speeds. [04:45] elijah: ls -lc is 'ctime' which is not necessarily what you think. [04:45] gr8... it happened again [04:46] psilo2: What is ctime? [04:46] progesterone: what is slow? i did a speed test and it came up somewhat normal, but transmission and apt-get is around 50kb/s [04:46] elijah: what's mounted on /? that'll be your filesystem. [04:46] psilo2: /dev/root [04:46] elijah: paste that whole line. (one line please) [04:47] /dev/root on /lib type virtfs (defaults) [04:47] elijah: ctime == "change time"; as in, the last change to the file's metadata. In the case of a file that was just created, ctime happens to be the creation time, but if the file's metadata is altered then it's no longer the same. [04:47] virtfs huh *shrug* [04:48] never heard of such a thing [04:48] psilo2: There are 20 more lines similar to that with mount [04:48] all virtfs though [04:48] elijah: can you type mount? [04:48] psilo2: So it is likely change time then [04:48] that should show you the fs [04:48] elijah: pretty likely yeah === matias is now known as Guest22757 [04:49] densone: we just went through that :P [04:49] oh lol [04:49] psilo2: Which worked for me, in this case [04:49] sorry , must have falled alseep [04:49] te_ terroh8er__ When I request Google, the status bar of the browser shows 'looking up www.google.com' for more than one minute. [04:49] elijah: how about fdisk -l /dev/root [04:50] /dev/root sounds like an LV to me, but I don't see why mount wouldn't show the filesystem type [04:50] psilo2: -jailshell: fdisk: command not found [04:50] progesterone: The only way you can test your speed is by timing a download. You can also use one of the speed test sites, such as speakeasy.net [04:50] elijah: dunno dude; you can test easily anyway. [04:50] elijah: fdisk wont run in a jail [04:50] speakeasy.net/speedtest - yeah! [04:51] progesterone: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ [04:51] psilo2: It's all good [04:51] you bet it is [04:52] hey guys... anybody able to help me with a gnome-settings problem? [04:52] Well anyway here it is... [04:52] progesterone: You should also look to see if you have proper IP information. It is possible that you are quering a bogus nameserver. cat /etc/resolv.conf [04:52] how do i turn off or change the display effects like fading windows on minimise and maximise and other appearance settings, just want my computer to function faster [04:53] crackguy: compiz [04:53] whenever I boot up my keyboard shortcuts aren't working, tho when I load keyboard shortcuts from System -> Preferencs -> keyboard shortcuts I have them working again.... I guess there must be a daemon that isn't being loaded? Using Karmic! [04:53] hello friends [04:54] crackguy, System / Preferences / Appearance -- Visual Effects tab, set to None [04:54] Hi [04:54] how do i add more effact to compiz [04:54] chiennguyen: install the compiz setting manager [04:54] i did [04:55] Hey all.. having a hard time editing my Grub2 boot list. I need to add "pci=nomsi" in order for Kubuntu 9.10 to recognize my SATA drives. Any suggestions on how to do so instead of constantly having to manually edit at every re-boot? [04:55] densone: server guy my butt! compiz indeed. [04:55] ZykoticK9, better now! but still on minimising, it shows an effect on minimising [04:55] is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager === David is now known as Guest59391 [04:55] crackguy, don't know how to edit that one (it isn't a compiz effect) [04:55] psilo2: I do play with compiz. Not ready to move to linux gui yet though. So my gui skill are pretty limited. [04:56] ZykoticK9, alright, thanks [04:56] densone: ditto, just messin with you [04:56] I run XMonad and a bunch of terminals and am quite happy [04:56] psilo2: haha. I love Ubuntu Server though [04:57] is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager [04:57] It's ok. I've been bitten by a few bugs in packages that were a little too bleeding edge to be server-appropriate. Ah well. [04:57] I've gone back to debian [04:57] Anyone know how to edit the Grub loader in (k)ubuntu 9.10? [04:58] bluedalek: yes [04:58] bluedalek: Do you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [04:58] psilo2: yeah. Totally know what you are saying. [04:58] psilo2: that file no longer exists with Grub2.. [04:59] bluedalek: already viewed an manual oder asked google? [04:59] fgfg [04:59] bluedalek: Oh, huh. [04:59] @bluedalek- on superuser there was a great question/answer about grub2 - check it out... [04:59] the main point was adding a script to automatically load at grub-configure [05:00] can anyone help me to [05:00] if you wait 1 sec I'll find the link [05:00] is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager [05:00] Souljah: yes, read the ubuntu forums how-to, and when I followed the instructions, kate opened a blank file [05:00] bluedalek: how about this one? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation [05:00] bluedalek: then you opened the wrong file [05:01] so is flash still a giant pain in the but or did my install just get messed up cause mine is acting goofy [05:01] bluedalek: or your system is not bootable [05:01] donavan01: flash is a simple install [05:01] but a must have,in comparison to gnah or swfec [05:01] *swfdec [05:01] densone yeah no problem installing it but its acting funny ... sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt [05:01] @bluedalek --- there it is .... http://superuser.com/questions/111302/aesthetically-editing-grub-cfg [05:02] donavan01: ur running x64 or x86 [05:02] Souljah: system is not bootable unless I manually add 'pci=nomsi' [05:02] souljah x64 [05:02] than you have to life with the trouble :) [05:02] nomsi, haha [05:02] cry it out in the world:NO MSI [05:02] donavan01: I avoid flash as much as I can, but I can tell you there are always differences betweem linux and other operating systems. Seems to be more buddy and adobe takes their sweet time fixing things. [05:03] err buggy not buddy [05:03] paulhomebus: won't let me edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:03] anyone with that keyboard shortcut solution? I guess I need to automatically load a daemon, or maybe I've disabled it.... [05:03] densone yeah I hear you drives me nuts ... cant stand flash but I like hulu.com so im torn [05:03] Elive is finally stable whatever that means... Took them long enough with enlightment desktop... [05:03] @bluedalek - won't let? ie permissions? [05:03] donavan01: haha. Yeah. Fwiw. Hulu works for me on linux. [05:04] donavan01: try installing the latest deb from abobe.com [05:05] sudo or su for editing grub [05:05] densone ... that was the next step I had to go to windows for a while cause of school and havent had linux running in about 6 months and I jsut wasnt sure what had changed since last I used it [05:05] densone, hulu doesn't work for me. I keep getting a "Hulu doesn't work in your country" error. [05:06] dsnyders: are you in the USA? [05:06] paulhomebus: oh.. wait.. it may have let me.. many thanks! [05:06] densone, No. That's why I get the error. [05:06] dsnyders: use Tvshack.net not hulu waste of time.. [05:06] dsnyders ... have you tried cheating and using a proxy ... might work [05:06] @bluedalek - be careful in there... that's why its protected [05:06] dsynders just use a proxy [05:07] ooops...too slow [05:07] DebiansArmy, tvshack.net??? I'll give it a look-see. [05:07] @paulhomebus - yea.. the only thing I wanted to add was the 'pci=nomsi' as it seems to me that the ubuntu people still have not figured out sata properly. It's the only way my system will boot. [05:07] read all through the stack overflow link... the one on adding changes to grub.cfg -- if you're running update-grub to auto-generate it you probably want to edit the scripts under */etc/grub.d* http://superuser.com/questions/102692/make-grub-keep-its-default-boot-under-kernel-updates/102696#102696 [05:07] never heared bout hulu, its possible watch US tv, so? [05:08] dsnyders: dont use windows there are thousands of popups and windows crap in there and never answer an add.. [05:08] @bluedalek -- Grub2 is very different from old grub! [05:08] Souljah_: Yes, install huludesktop [05:08] I love hulu [05:08] te_: maybe i not heared from it,because im not out of america :D [05:08] DebiansArmy, I don't pop in here because I use windows. [05:08] @paulhomebus - I've been learning that the hard way! Thanks again!@ [05:09] @bluedalek - np ;-) [05:09] dsnyders: this is a linux chat room... don't go to tvshack.net unless using linux.. [05:10] i need some suggestions for video editors, anybody tried any? [05:10] Does Linux Mint fall under ubuntu? [05:10] FirstSgt2: No [05:11] te_: do they have a channel...? I figured it was built on ubuntu so I could ask q's here [05:11] FirstSgt2: no and yes same system different GUI.. [05:11] !mintsupport | FirstSgt2 [05:11] FirstSgt2: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:11] DebiansArmy: okay, good cause gui doesn't matter in this case [05:11] FirstSgt2: this is a Mint box im runing [05:12] Cool... I mean basically they are dirivitives of debian anyhow, right? [05:12] FirstSgt2: depends upon the question?? [05:12] Hey, this nullmailer thing is spamming my dmesg log (Well, not quickly, but I don't like it.. It pushes useful messages out of the way) with blocks of useless nonsense... What uses nullmailer, and how can I stop it from sending stuff into the dmesg? [05:12] I'm installing VMware server 2.0 [05:12] Note, it's displayed with Conky on my desktop, that's why I care. [05:12] FirstSgt2: ok, what trying to do.. [05:13] No ideas? [05:14] DebiansArmy: I am attemtping to install the vmware via its perl module [05:14] errr... perl install script rather [05:14] FirstSgt2: they may be able to help you if you know the difference bewteen menus... how to get to folders and files ... other wise your going to get lost.. [05:14] Im installing java6_18 on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop. Ive installed it in my home directory, but Im wondering if it would be a better idea to install it in /usr/local/bin, can I just do that? [05:15] Question: How can I test if ipV6 is enable or not? [05:15] FirstSgt2: whats the error... [05:16] progesterone: ifconfig [05:16] ok whats the deal I was trying to get adobe from the adobe.com ... used to be able to get .deb but the deb is for 8.04 but 9.04 has an APT file but when I try downloading it says its going to add it to my repository but then I get an error what tried to do a apt-get install adobe-flashplugin and get cant find package ... ideas ? [05:17] does anyone have some suggestions for video editors? [05:17] I just converted a video to AVI, and the video is slowed down 2x, but audio plays at the normal speed. What could be causing this? [05:17] progesterone: ifconfig | grep inet6 [05:17] hey guys, i'm trying to emulate a game through Wine and having serious issues. the game doesn't work and just ends up freezing. The terminal output starts out with a few errors like "fixme:d3d_caps:wined3d_guess_card No card selector available for GL vendor 3 and card vendor 8086." then runs away with thousands of other errors. can anyone point me in the right direction for how i might troubleshoot this? [05:18] which game is this? [05:18] donavan01: use apt-cache search adobe and finding the spelling of file and run apt-get install "name of file" [05:18] has anyone built notification-daemon with the styling support patch found here? http://reviews.rbcommons.com/r/56/diff/ [05:18] nemmons, games arnt so easy to emulate in wine if they are DX dependent. [05:18] the patch applies without errors, but i get errors when trying to make [05:19] knoppies: yeah, but the thing is according to the winehq page tons of people are emulating it fine with no serious problems [05:19] nemmons, Im no good with wine, but I would have a look at the settings, and see if you can set up your vid card. [05:19] is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager [05:19] knoppies: the winecfg settings you mean? [05:19] donavan01: you need to be admin when installing sudo apt-get install "name of file" [05:19] debiansarmy ... thanks I will try that [05:19] please anyone help me [05:19] what's the problem mihir? [05:20] nemmons, you might need to specify windows .dll files, I tried that once but failed. Yes I mean the wine configure [05:20] is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager [05:20] donavan01: apt-cache search will give you a small description of the file ... [05:20] mihir, not exactly... [05:20] nemmons, what game? [05:20] mihir: It is advisable to do all updates. [05:20] mihir, no. But its debatable. [05:20] knoppies: alright, thanks for the help. [05:20] ZykoticK9: The starcraft 2 beta [05:20] nemmons, I hope you get it working. [05:20] debiansarmy ... thanks ... Im not great at the command line yet but getting better... should I go for the nofree version or not [05:20] donavan01: you may also have to use apt-cache search adobe | more to break up the search into smaller parts... [05:21] nemmons, wow dude [05:21] it is listed under head important security update which are of 290 MB [05:21] Capt_Blackwood haha yeah. i knew i should have left a small windows partition on this thing [05:21] i am getting an "no rule to make target 'notification-theme-standard.schemas', needed by 'all-am'" error, not totally sure why, the patch seems to have been made for the current version [05:21] mihir, if it's an important security, yes [05:21] donavan01: hold on let me get you a chart apt-get has the best way to look up current programs... [05:21] debiansarmy ... sweet thanks [05:22] it blows, just got home from college on spring break, left my PC at school, trying to run SC2 on my netbook for the next week until i get back... [05:22] has anyone had a problem of when you turn on your computer you have to log on to tty1 before it will continue to boot? [05:22] mihir, sounds like its been a while since you last updated. It might be worth it to not update those updates, but instead do a clean install of the new 9.10. but its up to you. [05:22] screw doing a fresh install of 9.10 [05:22] better wait [05:22] donavan01: donavan01 here you go only use the debian/ubuntu part of the chart http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta [05:22] wineman, no. But if you can teach me how to get ubuntu server to only load the desktop if I ask it to, I will be greatful. [05:23] wineman: login before boot? [05:23] anyone know any tutorials on installing vmware server on linux [05:23] yes [05:23] no i am using karmic 9.10 itself and installed only 20 days before [05:23] Im installing java6_18 on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop. Ive installed it in my home directory, but Im wondering if it would be a better idea to install it in /usr/local/bin, can I just do that? [05:24] same here but 9.04 was working fine before [05:24] donavan01: need to learn how to use apt-get versus synaptic is a front end user and really kinda annoying... [05:24] upgraded [05:24] ok this is prolly gonna sound like a dumb question, but im a n00b so please bare with me; im running dual displays on ubuntu 9.10, how do i get the main screen to be on the left monitor? i found out how to turn off the mirroring to make it span, and to have it show the correct position on my desk so my cursor will span from monitor to monitor left to right properly, but the menus and stuff... [05:24] ...are on the right monitor and i want them to be on the left monitor [05:25] Need to change my uuid for windows in grub.cfg but what syntax do I use to over ride the ro permission? [05:25] test connection [05:25] HPtwhite: can you just switch the cables? [05:26] FirstSgt2: there is a mint irc server if that help... next time you enter this room looking for help don't tell anyone ur using mint they wont help you that way... [05:26] HPtwhite, are you using Nvidia? [05:26] HPtwhite, Im not sure how to do that with the software, but if you swap your plugs for your monitors around (on the rear of your PC)? [05:26] knoppies: Usually it is placed in /usr/lib/java/ [05:26] yes [05:26] no im using ati [05:26] hello.. [05:26] te_, thanks. [05:26] debiansarmy ... I agree I prefer apt-get and used it years ago but honestly I have been trying to relearn what I have forgotten about linux from back when I was in highschool (were talking the days when linux ran on a couple of floppies) [05:26] DebiansArmy: advising people not to be truthful is not helpful [05:26] te_, just so we clear, its the JDK im talking about. NOT the RE. [05:26] and i dont wanna switch the cables :P [05:27] HPtwhite, not sure, are you using xorg.conf or a settings manager of some sorts? [05:27] mneptok: yeah it is because you wont help them unless using ubuntu ... you know how many times I have lied and got the help I needed... I just take what you gave me and apply it to Liux Mint... [05:27] te_, do I still put it in /usr/lib/java? [05:28] HPtwhite: sudo gedit /grub/boot/menu.lst [05:28] just using system>preferences>display [05:28] so should I go with the adobe flash nonfree or the normal plugin ? [05:28] Guys.. why is my download speed limited to just 100kb while upload goes as normal ? [05:28] wineman thx ill try that real quick [05:29] DebiansArmy: this is #ubuntu. you find it odd we only support Ubuntu? if you're using Mint, use their support resources. [05:29] mneptok: if you don't understand linux structure... it can be a pain... I have used 15+ distros and seek adive both here and on Arch Linux... [05:29] adive=advice [05:30] mneptok, you could be more supportive and open minded, why do you have to waste energy on hating other distros? [05:30] DebiansArmy, why use so many distros? what exactly are you looking for in a distro? [05:30] mneptok: there behind the curve in Linux Mint when it comes to the latest and greatest... [05:30] knoppies, that is clearly off topic [05:30] wineman all it did was open a blank gedit tab that says menu.1st [05:30] tucemiux, sorry, didnt mean to offend you. [05:31] knoppies: it has nothing to do with "hating" others. it has to do with asking questions in the appropriate place. this is #ubuntu. not #linux or #mintsupport. [05:31] claws_, you sure that its not your ISP? [05:31] i have installed ubuntu 9.10 before 20 days still i have 290 MB of updates are in Update Manager so does it adviceable to install [05:31] knoppies, im not offended, just look at the channel's topic, if you want to discuss anything else there's #ubuntu-offtopic [05:31] tucemiux, thanks. [05:31] your os listings should be in there [05:31] tucemiux: I play with all of them ... made a stop in on Debian last month runs good not into its lack of support for copyright material or close sourced drivers... [05:31] so if i run glewinfo and over half of the stuff if missing does that mean my graphics card just sucks? [05:32] mihir I would say its a good idea [05:32] mihir ... I would just installed mine about 2 days ago and had about the same for updates installed all of them jsut fine [05:32] or maybe I am typing to the wrong person that i thought wanted in there [05:32] ok thanks [05:33] DebiansArmy, you can still be able to use copyrighted material in ubuntu, ubuntu just doesnt include by default appz that might have legal copyright issues [05:33] has anybody had the problem of having to log in before your ubuntu will continue loading, and has a long pause after you type in user name and password [05:33] does dual monitors with different resolution work with ATI ? [05:33] tucemiux: But debian is a stable platform just not into all those backports to get items to run like in ubuntu or more cutting edge distros [05:33] donavan01, works for me [05:34] adransco ... anything special or jsut plug it in ? [05:34] DebiansArmy, ive never tried debian but if you have any problems with ubuntu you can feel free to ask here [05:34] donavan01, I think it might have taken a bit of configuring in system -> preferences -> display, but nothing too complicated [05:35] tucemiux: that is why I keep returning to Arch Linux and stay abreast on new ideas here in Ubuntu... Ubuntu and Fedora are leading the way on udev, upstart and grub2.... even though its had problems... [05:35] knoppies : yes.. cuz i have 3 other running boxes.. and 3 OS on this laptop [05:35] adransco ... thanks I remember a version or two back it was a huge hassle getting it to work [05:35] donavan01 it works for me [05:36] hello [05:36] i just cant figure out how to get my main screen with my menus n stuff to the left side rather than the right [05:36] DebiansArmy, ok well if you have any problem with ubuntu you can feel free to discuss it in this channel [05:36] sorry my wifi acts up at night and morning.. [05:36] well just plugged it in here goes nothing [05:37] DebiansArmy, i had the same problem until I bought a new router [05:38] tucemiux: I'm headed that way also setting up my rig to play games so I think the router will be a bottle neck... [05:39] DebiansArmy, i suggest you buy the linksys router you can install open software on it, I bought mines on newegg and got a great deal [05:39] why some people get a 120 flops vs 30 flops per second is it the internet speed or the router they own???? so I'm going to play with this idea... [05:40] DebiansArmy, it has to do with the service in your area [05:40] knoppies : yes.. cuz i have 3 other running boxes.. and 3 OS on this laptop. its same with all OS's on this laptop.. which i use wireless. i get only 100KB dl speed. im using a intel pro 2200BG and this Router " http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Communication/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2974&ProductName=GN-BR32L-RH " ... and my drivers are up to date. [05:41] plugged it in changed the settings and the dual monitor work after logging out and back in but my panels are all on the wrong screen how do I fix that ? [05:41] tucemiux: I would guess on that ,but my linksys router is only set for basic g not N type server so I will play with both boxes and see if the router presents bottlenecks as I suspect.. [05:41] donavan01 im having the same issue [05:42] you can drag the monitors in the display setting to look like they do on your desk to get the mouse to move left to right between monitors but the panels are on the right monitor rather than the left...thats why im in here and nobody seems to know how to fix it yet [05:43] tucemiux: if this is the case I can help people to speed up there gaming at half the price of paying for faster service... [05:43] HPtwhite, cant you just delete the panels on the one monitor and create new panels on the other? [05:43] HPtwhite mine is just the opposite ... hang on im going to try something but Im going to have to probably re boot [05:44] claws_, is it not your wireless then? I thought wireless had speed restrictions of 54kB/s or something. (unless your using N) [05:44] knoppies what i mean by panels is the clock, the menus, etc [05:44] HPtwhite, I know. You can create/delete those things. And then add 'applets' (the clock, menus themselves) to the panels. [05:45] hrmmm...im totally noob with linux/ubuntu so i dont even know how to do that [05:45] HPtwhite, right click on a penal and Pick New Panel. [05:45] hptwhite... got it [05:45] hello I have a trouble in programing c [05:45] ok i deleted the top panel but it wont let me delete the bottom one [05:45] donavan01 right on [05:46] hptwhite.. there are two ways you can do this I think [05:46] HPtwhite, maybe it won't let you delete all of the panels? try recreating one first [05:47] i want help in programing in c what should i do [05:47] hptwhite.. first do what I did and swap the video cables around or just check the box on the display preference screen that says something about panels on this screen (which I found only after I swapped the cables) [05:47] tucemiux: never seen a gamer break down level by level the bottlenecks on there system and what must go to futher help gamers... 1) what services run behind windows that cause a conflict... 2) What does the router / ISP provide conflicts... 3) What programs are bottlenecks for gaming.... SO I plan to break do all problems from hardware to software setups... Most the advice is all over the internet and not well defined... [05:47] idk how to recreate......i tried left clicking on my other screen and it give me create folder, create launcher, create document, clean up by name, keep aligned, and change desktop background [05:48] hptwhite are you without panels at all [05:48] So it appears that when I view an image with the Image Viewer app, a small thumbnail of the image is generated in ~/.thumbnails/normal. In Nautilus I have it set to never generate thumbnails, and list view by default. How do I turn off whatever it is that's generating and saving these thumbs? [05:48] donvan the panel just puts a display icon on the top panel, and i dont wanna swap my cables :P [05:48] lol [05:48] thanks tho [05:48] no i have the bottom panel [05:49] i dont have the one up top with the clock and system, etc tho [05:49] hptwhite your right my dislexia kicked in there when I read it [05:49] Andorin: that is a gconf-editor app... can also be done in the graphical interface... [05:49] is it worth using ubuntu desktop as a headless server? for a noobie? [05:49] hptwhite can you right click on the bottom one? [05:50] cretsiah: Well sure it is. [05:50] donavan01 yea i have to remake it from scratch :/ thanx tho [05:51] only reason i ask is i have major trouble with the print server function .... i have windows boxes that must be able to control the printing layouts [05:51] Andorin: in the folder view open up home folder and change preferences... [05:51] ok I get the feeling I shouldnt have created a virtual whatever for my dual screen cause now my secondary monitor is getting weird artifacts on it and doesnt line up right with the other screen [05:51] any ideas === harry is now known as Guest35978 [05:51] How do I set my soundcard to it's own IRQ? There's no clear way to do it in BIOS. [05:51] DebiansArmy: I did. I'm looking right now at apps --> eog in gconf-editor and looking for an option that has to do with ~/.thumbnails/normal. [05:51] how do I add GDM themes found on gnome-look.org? [05:52] ok that was weird I just disabled my primary screen and re-enabled it and blamo the problem went away [05:52] Andorin: no no it hold on.... that was just away to point you in direction that has to do with nautlics... not the apps.. [05:52] lol [05:52] how do I apply GDM themes that I find on gnome-look.org? [05:53] Monona, IRQs? I don't think I've dealt with those since windows 3.1 [05:53] DebiansArmy: I did say that I'd already gone through Nautilus's preferences... I think it's only doing this when I open an image with eog, whereas it used to cache a thumbnail for every image that Nautilus previewed while in icon mode. [05:54] Roasted: Actually, I think that support for custom GDM themes was dropped with the newest login manager software... there's a way to do it but it's kind of a pain. [05:54] Andorin, oh, really? Well dang... Gnome-look is littered with a ton of nice ones. I'd like to get one running. :( [05:54] Roasted: I know how you feel. =x [05:54] hm, for some odd reason numlock is now turned on by default after booting my netbook, but i dont want it to... [05:55] Andorin: in the folder view or image view area... not sure which one your getting at??? [05:56] abransco: I'm trying to reduce xruns on jack, and I've spent days playing around with jack settings. I want to set the soundcard to it's own IRQ, and see if that helps. I've been on the forums and IRC a bunch, and no dice. Here's the output if cat /proc/interrupts: http://pastebin.com/bRerD6BN [05:57] hello [05:57] DebiansArmy: I'm not sure what you mean, so I'll kind of start over... when I open an image with Eye of Gnome, it saves a thumbnail of that image in ~/.thumbnails/normal. As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with Nautilus, because I have thumbnail caching disabled in Nautilus. [05:57] what is the google term to learn how to disable apt-get install postfix from doing the curses based configuration -- I'm trying to automate install and am ok with no configuration by default [05:58] Monona, I don't really know anything about them; I thought they handled themselves these days though....I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I have no idea where to point you, sorry [05:59] I need some help connecting my laptop to my LCD tv using s-video. I'm working with an ATI Radeon x1200 graphics card. Can anyone help? [05:59] abransco: Ah, no worries. I'll get it figured some kind of way. [05:59] Andorin: nothing in eog stating saving thumbnails using gconf editor..??? hold on I will look around... at file set up... [05:59] DebiansArmy: Nope, I don't see any options. [05:59] Monona: IRQ's are done in the BIOS, but I'm not sure why you'd want to mess with that [06:00] wow, finally, notifications that look the way i want! [06:00] Andorin: I agree, what is the big deal with this option I have the same thumbnails folder as well?? [06:00] how do I change the program that starts when I insert an audio CD [06:01] h00k: My soundcard shares an IRQ with other processes, and I'm getting crazy xruns in jack for audio processing. I'm just trying to figure out what will make them go away. [06:01] Andorin: the size is only 8.3 kbs... not much drive space being eaten... [06:01] DebiansArmy: It's just something I want to maintain control over. === zer0 is now known as Guest13547 [06:02] Andorin: appears most of these thumbnails are used for my desktop settings... [06:03] knoppies : is there a way to bypass that limit ? [06:03] Monona: haven't been watching the conversation, but I get tons of xruns in jackd as well (or used to when I played guitar more often..) without any noticeable effect [06:03] DebiansArmy: It also generates a thumb if you open an image from, say, ~/Pictures/ [06:04] hey guys, I just got done installing 10.04 live cd latest from yesterday. Eveything is working great but I had the battery and sound icons up by the clock disappear and cant get it back [06:04] anyone know how? [06:04] psilo2: It's definitely got an audible effect. We're talking sometimes xruns around 1/sec. [06:04] bummer [06:04] Andorin: understand... just not sure your going to be able to stop this idea... most of the pictures you use for backgroud that is the thumbnail it is producing... [06:04] fuck [06:04] Guest13547: discussion/support for Lucid is in #ubuntu+1 [06:05] so for flash on ubuntu 9.10 should i go for adobe, Swfdec SWF Player, or Gnash SWF Player? [06:05] does anyone know how to make an s-video port work with an ATI graphics card? [06:05] DebiansArmy: Yeah, that's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. [06:05] !language | themarmot [06:05] themarmot: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === Guest13547 is now known as zombie0 [06:05] fuck you obbtu and h00k [06:05] ok h00k thanks [06:05] hi [06:06] shits been toughj today [06:06] WOC as far as I know you can use svideo as long as you are only using 1 of the other available ouputs, thats just my experience anyways [06:06] themarmot, stop that. [06:06] themarmot: that is no excuse, the rules in this channel always stand. [06:06] hello [06:06] elky: lol. [06:06] Monona: I suppose if you want to mess around with your IRQ settings, that will be done in the BIOS [06:07] thank you. At the moment, I'm only working with the one. Its a laptop and has VGA and s-video. The VGA is empty at present [06:07] Andorin: the size is not greater then 20 kbs not sure it is even worth messing with... [06:07] WOC np [06:07] i'm looking for a good media player [06:07] h00k: Yeah, just no apparent way to do that. I guess I'll have to research my BIOS a bit more. *sigh* [06:08] something like winamp or itunes for ubuntu 9.1 [06:08] while playing around in the Terminal, I've found that it doesn't recognize my port or my ATI card it seems. [06:08] any recommendations? [06:08] rascal999, rythmbox [06:08] Hey how do you launch a terminal window, have it execute a command, and then stay open? gnome-terminal -e closes the terminal right after the command is complete. [06:08] rastasean: there are a lot of audio players: Rhythmbox, Banshee, Amarok, etc [06:08] rastasean, ryhtmbox [06:08] DebiansArmy: I suppose. Thanks for your help :) [06:08] @rastasean try audacious [06:08] so for flash on ubuntu 9.10 should i go for adobe, Swfdec SWF Player, or Gnash SWF Player? [06:09] Anyone? [06:09] i think i will hit up audacious [06:09] looking for something lite [06:09] it looks and acts alot like winamp [06:09] yea it is [06:09] Samual: Hang on a second, I read about a way to do this once [06:09] whats the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu other than xfce being a lighter window manager, cos i noticed on the min specs there is a 2gig HD difference? [06:10] rastasean: if you're looking for something light, also consider mpd [06:10] Samual: perhaps "/bin/command && read -p 'Press any key...'" [06:10] tell me about it [06:10] L [06:10] Andorin: found thumbnailer under gconf-editor under shceme gnome thumbnailer...

[06:13] i was under the impression that this "bum" was more like a workaround [06:13] Andorin, I know you can do it with xterm by doing: xterm -hold -e "command", but well === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [06:13] -hold doesn't do anything with gnome-terminal.

[06:18] metalstround: Just ask your question [06:18] Samual: in gnome-term profile-prefs>title&command [06:19] DebiansArmy, i thought this wouldn't work anymore with ubuntu new system for starting/stopping daemons .. basicaly i was after a graphical tool (either X or term based) to administer my daemons [06:19] how do i customize my "start" menu ? [06:19] Why does my screen go blank with only a blinking cursor if i try to install Xubuntu? [06:19] claws_: Right click your menu, and press edit menu. [06:19] DebiansArmy, like apache, vsftp, ssh etc ... which one should start which one shouldn't and so on [06:19] nomad77, ah I see, but I don't precisely need that to happen all the time. [06:19] nomad77, well... Maybe it will be fine. [06:20] profoak , thank you :) [06:20] nomad77, Yeah, that'll work, thanks mate. psilo2 thanks to you too anyway. [06:20] Samual: try my bash -c yet? [06:20] freeaks_: when you take daemons they don't run in the same way as bsd ... these are done by run levels in ubuntu/debian systems that is why it has trouble producing a 15 second boot time... [06:20] claws_ np [06:20] I am curious. [06:21] What do I need to do in order to use Empathy's desktop sharing feature? [06:21] freeaks_: even though the new upstart in Lucid Lynx has a patch not sure what way the upstart is lookig at deamons... [06:21] my ubuntu VMs boot in 8-9 seconds [06:21] psilo2, that didn't work [06:21] tytry [06:21] Samual: ah well [06:21] When I try to run the live CD of Xubutu the same thing happens.. [06:22] profoak: Contact -> Share My Desktop [06:22] DebiansArmy, ok. but would you know of any tool i could use to administer my daemons ? (start / stop) [06:22] h00k: It won't let me select. Do I need to use a special protocol or something? [06:22] are we not using invoke-rc.d anymore? *kicks ubuntu HARD* [06:22] how can install bin file? [06:22] manish: you don't install a .bin file, that is a binary file. [06:23] manish: just run it: ./file.bin [06:23] Why does my screen go blank with a blinking cursor if I try to install Xubuntu? [06:24] because xfce4 is the worst. nah I don't know [06:24] oh.. [06:24] so...i have a wifi printer on my network...my desktop is wired to the router. how do i find it with ubuntu 9.10? [06:24] freeaks_: no it is not currently out that is why so many users of Ubuntu/debian are waiting on the new tool or how to make ubuntu boot faster... start / stop times are a mystery when it comes to debian/ubuntu do to the fancy splash screen you can monitor them with bootstrap what good is that if you can't disable or start services as a background service... [06:24] HPtwhite: try visiting http://localhost:631/ [06:24] hola [06:25] i'm trying to mount a SCSI cd drive (virtual drive from cdemu) on /dev/sr0 and its telling me "mount: no such file found". anyone know why that is? [06:25] HPtwhite: the printing utility will scan for network printers if they're set up properly [06:25] The computer is an old Dell Inspiron, Pentium III, 700MHz, 256MB RAM with 2MB of shared video RAM. [06:25] would that be why? [06:25] hola [06:25] !es > alnodcroes [06:26] alnodcroes, please see my private message [06:26] HPtwhite: System -> Adminstration -> Printing === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [06:26] metalstround: make sure it has the minimum specs for xubuntu [06:26] DebiansArmy, indeed ... [06:26] freeaks_: that is why I'm staying with Arch Linux or Slackware they run a deamons in true sense of start and stop services... [06:26] h00k: thats where im at [06:26] hola ubottu [06:26] DebiansArmy, so a tool is being worked on ? i didn't know, can you tell me more ? (if more is known already) [06:27] h00k: idk what to put in the box for the search terms or which network printer option to choose [06:27] does this tool have a name yet? [06:27] can anyone help me find wifi drivers for a macbook air? this: http://www.isriya.com/node/1804/ubuntu-on-macbook-air seems about right but it seems i386 packages aren't right? (went ahead with the amd64 packages instead, didn't work) [06:27] so i'm using this application kopete and when i'm out of the chat window and i get a message, it beeps but mutes audio playing. [06:27] HPtwhite: Add -> network printer [06:27] how do you turn this off? do you recommend a different chat program/ [06:27] HPtwhite: it'll scan the network and find it, usually [06:27] h00k: anselm? [06:27] rastasean: what version of Ubuntu? [06:28] I meet the "recommended minimum requirements" according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [06:28] 9.10 [06:28] zachrose: what? [06:28] h00k: sorry, thought you might be someone else [06:28] h00k: im an idiot and i forgot to turn the printer back on. thanks [06:28] zachrose: Indeed, I'm me [06:28] well.. accualy.. not really.. [06:28] HPtwhite: :D [06:28] i only have 256 MB RAM.. would that make a diffrence? [06:28] freeaks_: Until users get there hands on 10.04 or Lucid Lynx it is not apparent to the idea ubuntu and debian are trying.. they have number of other issues that need ironing out with grub2 and udev... still not enough documentation from any source to give a clear picture on how udev and other systems function together... [06:29] metalstround: probably, yeah. [06:29] oh.. [06:29] but the [06:29] rastasean: I recommend pidgin myself instead of kopete. But what you want to look at is System --> Preferences --> Sound then the Applications tab to see if kopete is listed there and what its volume is. [06:29] metalstround: well, you're still above 'bare minimum' [06:29] yah.. [06:29] metalstround: verify your disk is okay [06:30] h00k: okay [06:30] DebiansArmy: Add pulseaudio and upstart to that list [06:30] dj_segfault, application not listed. i'll try out pdgin [06:30] freeaks_: I heard clams of Lucid Lynx in the beta form running 8 second boot times ,but no user is giving a clear picture at this point of its function... [06:31] DebiansArmy: it's pretty quick :) [06:31] DebiansArmy: but it's not Beta yet [06:31] h00k: same blinking cursor/blank screen.. [06:31] i'd like to know if that boot time is from a cold boot or like a prefetch boot [06:31] h00k: would that mean that the disk is corrupt? [06:31] anyone know the channel for backtrack pentesting suite on freenode? [06:31] DebiansArmy: So it's still in "try it on someone else's laptop" stage? [06:31] metalstround: it's possible [06:31] !md5 | metalstround [06:31] metalstround: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:32] h00k: What ever you refer to this version of Lucid Lynx as I get confused when it comes to betas and pre betas cant keep up...

They don't refer to them as aphla's just betas... [06:34] h00k: the disk is a i380.. I have a Pentium III.. is there a difference?

Check to make sure the disk is okay, if it is, I don't know what to tell you. [06:37] freeaks_: I keep up with a lot of protypes when it comes to both Hardware and Software...

[06:43] flannel: i need to revert it back. ie change it back to where before i typed that command. from a lveCD [06:43] somebody knows to be a failure in the xubuntu login after typing the password? highlights again the screen where the user is typing password [06:43] mint_: Ah.

[06:52] hi, is that anyway to check my server is alive if ISP blocked PING [06:52] um [06:52] yes? [06:52] KiiK, ping 127.0.0.1, if it works and nothing on the net does, that could be a hint [06:53] anyone active? [06:53] Has anyone an idea how i can reinstall all packages? [06:53] need some help installing a .sh script [06:53] progesterone, do the file names in question start with a "." which would make them hidden files? [06:53] sink: sh script.sh ? >: === matthew is now known as Guest64067 [06:54] facebook addon for firefox is giving me a .sh [06:54] so just type that into the term? [06:54] ZykoticK9 no, they're just normal files. [06:55] progesterone, i don't have an explanation then, i'm able to see deb and gz on my desktop? sorry man, best of luck. [06:55] Tried sorting the icons on your desktop? Which window manager is this? (KDE, Gnome, something like flux or xfce?) [06:56] What happens if you open your default file manager and browse the location of your Desktop (e.g. ~/Desktop for Gnome) [06:57] ZykoticK9 Thanks anyway [06:58] has anyone heard of a router interfering with ssh? I don't mean port forwarding; i mean something like a buffering issue where the router might be waiting for incoming connections to close before sending the data over to the ubuntu server. (That's what i noticed when connecting with telnet.) [06:59] ZykoticK9 Actually I can't see any files and folder on Desktop. [06:59] progesterone, that changes things! you are using Gnome right? [07:00] Question: Gnone? I'm using default Ubuntu installation. [07:00] what is different by running cairo dock in openGL mode or non opengl ? [07:00] Then Gnome is your desktop and your file manager is nautilus. Sounds like nautilus is either set to not draw icons on the desktop or another problem. [07:01] progesterone, check that right clicking the desktop brings up a context menu [07:01] waveclaw, actually nautilus is the desktop provider. [07:01] alt+f2 -- gconf-editor -- apps / nautilus / preferences, is show_desktop set to true? [07:01] progesterone, ^ [07:01] airtonix It shows 'Create Folder', 'Create Launcher' and so on. [07:02] progesterone, so now you need to follow that last step by ZykoticK9 , confirm that show_desktop is ticked [07:02] airtonix, I think if progesterone can right click on the desktop and get the menu then it is === soUPERMan is now known as kanine5 [07:03] progesterone, minus the "--", so its 1) press alt+f2 2) type : gconf-editor 3) navigate to : apps > nautilus > preferences [07:03] ZykoticK9, test it out yourself... no icons on desktop doesn't mean no context menu [07:03] airtonix Let me try [07:03] ZykoticK9 I'll try [07:04] progesterone, if it is ticked, then the next thing you check in gconf-editor is the desktop tree in that section of nautilus. so thats : apps > nautilus > desktop [07:04] Has anyone an idea how i can reinstall all packages? [07:05] progesterone, what you'll see there is tick boxes for computer, network, home & trash [07:05] ruien: no, I've never heard of that failure mode from a router. I would consider it a fairly major bug... [07:05] ZykoticK9 airtonix 'Show Desktop' is ticked. [07:05] Losha: yeah, but i can telnet to a netcat -l -p 444, for example, but i can't ssh in! [07:05] progesterone, ok check the apps > nautilus > desktop : anything in there ticked ? [07:06] so it seems pretty major [07:06] so if i have a raid setup with mdadm in ubuntu but reinstall the OS drive (seperate from the raid drives) w/ Debian, Debian will see my mdadm, right? [07:06] ruien: what client/server ? [07:06] airtonix nothing is ticked except 'volumes_visible'. [07:06] progesterone, ok might pay to have them ticked for debugging purposes [07:07] tesssss [07:07] progesterone, because if you still don't get anything showing up on the desktop, you'll need to kill and restart nautilus [07:07] Losha: ssh client on CentOS, sshd on ubuntu server. I *can* ssh into the ubuntu server if i connect through a reverse tunnel on another server elsewhere (which bypasses the router more-or-less) [07:08] tess [07:08] ruien: are you sure the router is even forwarding ssh traffic. Try ssh -v on the client to get some debug info... [07:08] airtonix, just an FYI - unchecking "Show Desktop" does infact disable the context menu as well [07:09] ZykoticK9, apologies [07:09] airtonix 'Computer', 'Network Servers', 'Garbage Bin' appears on Desktop. But my files and folders on Desktop don't show up yet. [07:09] Losha: yeah, pretty sure, because the ssh -vv output is different based on which port i choose to connect to. For example, 23 isn't connected to anything so i get an error message; 22 is, and so it hangs. The results are different [07:09] progesterone, and when you open nautilus manually from 1) places > home 2) press ctrl + L 3) type ~/Desktop [07:10] progesterone, i assume you're trying to find files you've downloaded ? [07:10] ruien: wanna pastebin the output from ssh -vv connecting to port 22 ? [07:10] hi guys, is it ok for me to submit a 300 meg bug report? [07:10] gladly [07:11] airtonix Exactly! [07:11] airtonix Can you really read my mind? :P [07:11] progesterone, you should check if there is a folder called "Downloads" in your home folder [07:11] adante: why is it 300MB? [07:11] aztek[tum]: beats me [07:12] airtonix No. I downloaded to 'Desktop' explicitly and set my download folder to 'Desktop'. [07:12] adante: is it just log files? [07:12] progesterone, ok so if you look at the ~/Desktop folder manually in terminal or nautilus the files you expect to be there are visible ? [07:13] airtonix I can see the files and folders in Terminal. But I can't see them on Desktop and Nautilus. [07:13] aztek[tum]: i have no idea, i'm not familiar with what ubuntu-bug does [07:13] adante: ah [07:13] airtonix no [07:13] progesterone, try killing nautilus from terminal : sudo killall nautilus -9 [07:13] airtonix no in Nautilus. yes in Terminal [07:14] need visual bandwith meter to see any download/upload graphics ! [07:14] progesterone, and i assume you've already tried selecting the 'clean up by name' option from the context menu you get from right clicking on the desktop ?

[07:17] progesterone, no idea... could be the session cache or soemthing who knows... [07:17] web5|org|ua, check out conky or gkrellm [07:17] airtonix Do you have any idea why I was not seeing my files and folders on Desktop? Is it just a bug in Nautilus? [07:17] I want to be able to send emails from the command line and postfix is confusing the heck out of me. esmtp doesn't have all the features i want. is there something else simple I can use? [07:18] thanks to all. [07:18] bcgrown: I use ssmtp. What's missing from esmtp? [07:19] Losha: the ability to change the message subject [07:19] airtonix ok Thanks for your time helping me. I appreciate it. [07:19] I have a question.

[07:19] bcgrown: no, it's standalone [07:20] bcgrown: again, i *think* that's the one i'm thinking of. see what it wants to install on your system [07:20] Hey DaZ [07:20] Losha: http://pastebin.com/iF5vsbgd (note that *internal* ssh sessions, from behind my router, work flawlessly) [07:21] brjann: apt-get wants to install postfix when i try to install bsd-mailx [07:21] bcgrown: Er, you need both a mail frontend *and* a mail backend to send mail. And what do you mean 'the ability to change the message subject'. All frontends allow you to specify a mail subject when sending email.... [07:21] bcgrown: then i guess that's not the one i'm thinking of :) let me look [07:22] airtonix: and how to do this ? [07:22] Losha: echo "test" | sendmail myemail@address.com is all i did to send a message with esmtp [07:22] web5|org|ua, 1) right click the panel 2) add to panel 3) type "system" (it should filter out the others) select system monitor 4) right click it on the pane and select preferences [07:23] Losha: That uses esmtp's sendmail emulator which as far as I can tell didn't have a "subject" option [07:23] ruien: I see the server never responded to your client. Does it even see the request. Check log files on the server? [07:24] nope, log is empty [07:24] that's why i think the router is buffering it [07:25] bcgrown: install mailx and do something like: mailx -s 'this is test1' -v myemail@address.com, then press enter and enter the msg body, end with ctrl-d [07:25] airtonix: thanks MAN, work. [07:25] web5|org|ua, if you search the repo there are at least two other kinds of bandwidth monitors you can put up there [07:25] ruien: the router's doing *something* with it. Are you sure the router's configured to port forward correctly? [07:26] Losha: where does config for mailx live? i need to enter in my SMTP server info, I'm assuming? [07:26] Losha: yes, because telnet to netcat works fine [07:26] ruien: unless netcat is listening on port 22, you don't know that...

[07:28] Losha: ok, fair enough, i had netcat up on port 2222. however, i also tried an SSH local tunnel to route traffic from 2222 -> 22, since i knew the router sending to 2222 was working fine, and got the exact same result with ssh -v [07:28] bcgrown: You sound confused. mailx doesn't have any config. It's a front end. Only the back end needs a server to be configured. [07:28] Losha: obviously I am confused. what backend should i be using? [07:29] brjann: i get "could not open trigger file" when i run nullmailer-send [07:30] bcgrown: esmtp is a backend. You don't talk to backends directly, you talk to a frontend which then talks to the backend for you. mailx is a frontend. [07:30] hmm [07:30] bcgrown: so, 'your msg' -> mailx -> esmtp -> recipient mailhost [07:31] bcgrown: yes, Losha is right. you shouldn't be trying to run nullmailer binaries directly [07:31] airtonix: yes [07:31] okay... i think i need more sleep before i can sort this out [07:31] thanks for your help folks [07:31] bcgrown: if esmtp delivered your email correctly without a subject line, then it's working correctly.

[07:33] brjann yeah vbox [07:33] Losha: ok, thanks for your insight. I was thinking the same thing, and you looking at it gives me some more confidence. It's a no-name chinese brand i bought for about $7 USD, so i might go get a real router today then [07:34] Sensiva: okay, that's how NAT works. incoming connections don't get forwarded to the guest unless you're forwarding ports. if you want the guest accessible from the LAN the host is on, you want the vbox bridging adapter, not NAT. [07:35] Sensiva, brjann or you can use firestarters port forwarding gui [07:35] ruien: I've been very happy with my linksys, after I put 'tomato' firmware on it. Check out http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato for hardware that will run tomato [07:35] Sensiva, the easy way would be to change the VBox VM settings from NAT to Bridged [07:36] airtonix, Sensiva: or that [07:36] Ok, What if I don't like using bridged network? [07:36] Losha: ok, cool. thanks [07:36] Suck it up [07:36] Sensiva: then ask airtonix about the firestarter gui, because I know nothing about it :) [07:36] airstrike can firestarter forward incoming connection from eth0 to localhost hence to the guest OS in vbox? [07:37] brjann ZykoticK9 Thank you :) [07:37] May someone PM me about a question I have. I have my tower in the partition menu and I have a 500gb drive. I would like to do seprate partitions so my /home etc will be safe incase i have to do another load and all my data will be safe. I'm totally giving windows the can but i grew up with windows and all I know about is the NTFS [07:39] mr-grey2: how much RAM do you have? [07:39] hello, i have a problem gettting my IBOT webcam to work. anyone know how? [07:39] Losha, that tomato is great ! [07:39] Losha: 2 gig [07:39] mr-grey2 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:39] airtonix: agreed, much better than stock firmware [07:40] Losha, wish i had control of our router/modem (and it was able to take the firmware) [07:40] Losha, could you achieve the same QOS setup there on ubuntu (with squid)? [07:40] mr-grey2: as a rough guide, choose ext3, allow 10GB for root, 4GB for swap, another 10G for a root backup, and the rest for /home... [07:41] Can I somehow make so that if I hit shift-control-8 and 9 I'll get a { and } in Ubuntu? [07:42] airtonix: not familiar with squid, but you can do the same with ubuntu on a 2-nic box using iptables, but a router running tomato is smaller, cheaper, and easier to configure.... [07:42] May I PM you Losha? [07:42] mr-grey2: please *don't*, I prefer public discussion so others can follow along and advise/learn... [07:43] Ok [07:43] hey yo [07:44] ce_niez [07:46] mr-grey2: by the way, giving up windows is a big step.

[09:40] tamran: if your machine starts swapping, there's really not much you can do about it. you can't really preempt that, because the kernel is saying it's out of memory and needs to push something out to disk.

To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [09:48] tamran: all i'm saying is just because it appears that it's using a bunch of memory after gnome loads, it may not actually be *using* it. it might be just holding on to it until something better comes along.

Wondering why this is so, as i didn't set any PATH on my local ubuntu installation [10:06] AdvoWork: if you program a fsck at boot time you do not have control of the options it would be passed and you can not do anything if a problem arises. a livecd/liveusb system is way better [10:07] adac: usr/local/bin is in path i both systems. the difference is that you compiled and installed a ruby in your local one [10:07] erUSUL If I do 'apt-get source gedit', where can I see the downloaded source files?

[10:34] josh-N: bummer. i guess it's got the appletalk protocol built into the kernel, but not the apple filesharing protocol [10:34] ddrj: There are a few different protocols for file access via LAN: NFS for *nix clients, Samba for Windows clients and of course sshfs for quick and dirty solutions ;-) [10:34] indus , so i can just search and dl easy ? :) [10:34] if your into windows games, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ [10:34] heimdall, this is what my gedit plugin folder looks like, maybe you have the package decompressed in the wrong way : http://pastebin.com/3WSQPUZ9 [10:34] Claws, ah a combined game repo? not available [10:35] otherwise just go to software center or synaptic [10:35] Claws, but you can try ubuntu gaming edition [10:35] or that [10:35] * pixelfairy looks up gaming edition [10:35] same here [10:35] Claws, playdeb or getdeb have repos [10:35] josh-N: oh, this might work for you: http://sites.google.com/site/alexthepuffin/home [10:35] vlt: heh heh yeah i guess i'll just setup shared folder using samba :P i pretty much just want to setup ubuntu on an old server and allow 3 pcs running windows to open and edit .doc files on the ubuntu server >.< :P [10:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games [10:36] ddrj: Then go for Samba [10:36] yaw, thanks vlt :) [10:36] Claws, all games pre installed wowee [10:36] josh-N: it's a fuse client for AFP access. there're apparently ubuntu .debs in the download area, and the page i just linked gives a quick overview of using the mount_afp utility [10:36] airtonix: mmm there was nothing to decompress. there were two files folding.gedit-plugin and folding.py. I put them both in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins [10:36] Claws, OOPS here http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate_edition/ultimate-edition-2-3-gamers/ [10:37] Claws, also playonlinux is included in it pixelfairy [10:37] diskless client need help installing nvidia driver [10:38] One person visiting me IRL wanted me to install Ubuntu on his computer to dualboot with WinXPmce2005. The problem is that for some reason Ub doesn't start fully, instead it either leaves movable cursor running on screen or the screen keeps showing a ton of lines of diff colors and they flash extremely fast. This problems remains regardless of graphics card, screen, and whether we used graphics safe mode. We tested Ubuntus 8.04.1 32bi [10:38] Forgot to mention that the problem remains even with alternate installer. [10:38] heimdall, shows up in my plugins list as : simple folding (wih some russian text under that) [10:38] rautamiekka: wait till april, try again with ubuntu 10.4 [10:39] 9.10 will prolly work [10:39] also got another question.... is there a backup utility i can use to make backups of other computers (2 x running windows) via network and store said backups onto my ubuntu box? [10:39] pixelfairy: I suppose that's my only option. [10:39] hm... i am trying to either get window-picker-applet running on xfce4-panel through xfapplet, or find an xfce4 replacement for window-picker-applet [10:40] ddrj, could you use windows backup clients that send their backup data via smb to the ubuntu machine ? [10:40] brjann: too bad there is no more "official" thing in the standard repositories. i'll try the client you linked to. thanks alot for your help. [10:40] !backup | ddrj [10:40] ddrj: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:40] ddr-, sourceforge might be a good place to look for a client that would run on various platforms [10:40] josh-N: getting afpfs-ng integrated into ubuntu has been on the wishlist for a while, apparently [10:41] airtonix: hmm yeah thanks checking [10:41] josh-N: but you're welcome, and good luck [10:41] hi everyone [10:41] ddrj: you could also use an automatic sync software like Allway Sync which is really easy and it's powerful [10:41] Hi MistaG [10:41] ddrj, i assume you have ubuntu clients too ? (i;m using deja-du on my ubuntu client to do automated daily backups) [10:41] thanks rautamiekka, i'll check that too [10:42] please, a small question, I use apt-get install ipython COMMAND, whether ipython-0.8 affect originalpython? I don't understand what help.ubuntu.com talking about apt-get.... [10:42] airtonix: yes i do, thanks adding that to my list, one of the pc's will be an ubuntu client [10:42] ddrj, https://launchpad.net/deja-dup [10:42] airtonix: am i supposed to type some command to load it? it doesn't show up in my plugin list [10:43] heimdall, maybe the files are corrupted, can you open them in the text editor? [10:43] yes i can [10:43] anybody from slovenia here? [10:43] ddrj: My idea was that the Win clients use Allway Sync or other sync software to automatically sync the data via Window$ Transfer [that's what I call it when you put "\\ADDRESS" to address line in My Computer] to Ub machine, obviously using the Samba. [10:43] heimdall, i assume you restarted gedit after putting them in the plugins folder? [10:43] yes [10:43] ugh, trying to get a feature request into kvm, it doesnt have a bug tracker [10:44] MistaG: you might try #ubuntu-si [10:44] heimdall, and you have other plugins in that folder that work ? [10:44] hm, it seems what happens is that the unr window-picker-applet does not communicate its width to xfapplet correctly [10:44] therefore its always just 1 icon wide [10:44] airtonix: i dont have any other plugins [10:44] brb [10:44] heimdall, i would try getting others to work [10:45] diskless installing nvidia driver....

[10:46] hello all can anybody tell me tool for remastering ubuntu or customising ubuntu [10:46] b [10:47] is there any way sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1 could ever cause a problem on the server? [10:50] AdvoWork: from the e2fsck man page: it is safe if the -n option is specified, and -c, -l, or -L options are not specified. However, even if it is safe to do so, the results printed by e2fsck are not valid if the filesystem is mounted.

[11:31] marcobxbro1: you can run those portable apps in wine (so i've heard) [11:31] mandrkldf33833, yes. [11:32] mandrkldf33833, try 'Portable Ubuntu' [11:32] mandrkldf33833, i think you'll find that those two apps you mention are actually portable by nature when you download them from teh mozilla site [11:32] Stargaze: is portable ubuntu official by canonical? [11:33] <[V13]Axel> ActionParsnip: Really? Wow. I don't get any notifications on ChatZilla. I don't have mIRC yet on this computer. [11:33] ciao [11:33] airtonix: i'd prefer not to use the old one as its rubbish imho [11:33] mandrkldf33833: WIth Ubuntu, you have an option to have a live usb install with full apps for firefox & vlc installed so that you can just boot on any computer capeable of USB boot and run your own personal version of ubuntu [11:33] mandrkldf33833, another one that is portable is floola [11:34] switchgirl, up to you really... but since its beta software and you're having issues, one can only come to a two way descision : a) keep using it and help debug the problem with reports to mozilla or b) use the version you know work [11:35] hi [11:35] thx for the answers, but actually what i am looking for is the exact equivalent of vlc portable for ubuntu. so if i run ubuntu and have no admin rights, why not download a programm, extract it like vlc portable for windows and start this program. [11:36] Does anyone know how to turn Vsync off in Ubuntu= [11:36] [V13]Axel: i use irssi now and it tells you ;) [11:37] ActionParsnip, hi [11:37] indus: yo yo yo [11:37] mandrkldf33833: if you have the vlc binary, it *should* in theory just run on any ubuntu system, provided the system has the required dependencies and is the same version of ubuntu [11:37] how art thou [11:37] hi.i want to run a script which "activates" (renames and replaces) the correct xorg.conf befor x starts. i can't find any info on how to run a script before that. i tried putting it into the first line of /etc/init.d/gdm , but it doesn't do anything [11:37] <[V13]Axel> ActionParsnip: My usual client does, but it's a Windows native application.

VirtualBox is better, easier to install, better GUI. I'm gonna go with ActionParsnip here, install to a USB flash drive, it's a true install that doesn't require splitting resources. [11:44] or #hardwares (either way). [11:44] chiiiiiz: should be fine, nvidia are very supported [11:44] chiiiiiz: off topic, but I see no reason that it wouldn't work just fine [11:44] what is the difference between aptitude remove and aptitude reinstall? i want to remove all configfiles with erasing the program [11:45] the_gamer: aptitude purge [11:45] NO I thought that AMD only or better works with ATI... [11:45] Going to #hardware!!

Xpud? [11:58] [V13]Axel: xpud boots faster than most crt monitors can warm up [11:59] what's xpud? [11:59] <[V13]Axel> What is it? Is it an OS or is it something for Ubuntu? [11:59] [V13]Axel: you dont have to log on as a network user, just use the local accounts [11:59] [V13]Axel: its a VERY stripped down Linux distro [11:59] <[V13]Axel> Ah. Kinda like DSL? [11:59] [V13]Axel: boots faster and has less [12:00] <[V13]Axel> Ah. Hm.

Think its a good idea to upgrade that too? I need to read more about the Filesystems. [12:05] UpgradingUser: if you upgrade ext3 to ext4 you wont get ALL the benefits of ext4. You will need to clean format to get the full set === erik__ is now known as emj [12:07] ActionParsnip Do you know if it's possible to change the boot animation?

What exactly do I have type to get in the folder? [13:38] gol'd technology [13:38] AceKing, ok, your are right there. the folder belongs to root, and only root can execute (enter) it. so do "sudo -i" and become root, then use nano to edit the file. our first approch was not wise, sorry [13:39] nibbler, Thank you for explaining! [13:41] AceKing: you can also open a file manager from root like thunar or nautilis and as a root file manager you can edit files graphically [13:41] instead of by line commands === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [13:41] what package can i find this file in libplds4.so.7 [13:42] anyone knoe [13:42] i sure dont [13:42] ok i take that as a no [13:43] jiohdi, I think that may be easier...

[13:53] uzu-cat, I am occasionally warned that my NTFS drive is failing, and "is being used outside of operational parameters" [13:53] uzu-cat: really depends on the error, but the smart thing to do would be back up the disk and prepare for the worst. i had a drive that had "errors" for about 4 months before it actually died [13:53] uzu-cat, I run the test again, and it's fine [13:54] u === Guest90907 is now known as warriorforgod [13:55] indus , yes i have ;) am i happy with it!

[13:59] no [13:59] no [13:59] g2g [13:59] I'm ctually looking at slackware right now [14:00] brah-, i have Win7, WinXP (virtual), Ubuntu, ChromiumOS and BackTrack 4 all installed on my netbook [14:00] hows that possible [14:00] netbooks are very weak [14:00] wow thats a lot for a netbook [14:00] !list [14:00] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[14:03] i have / partition, for root, then another ext3 for other storage, and one ntfs for storage too; i wanna remove that ntfs, and join it with my ext3 storage (not system) one; can i do it all outside linux (example: using acronis disk director) and will the fstab file be auto reconfigured, or do i need to do something by hand to that file also? :) === rcaskey is now known as robertj [14:03] how [14:03] grub2 is installing to /dev/sda (where win7 currently lives, I repartitioned/installed to the free space at the end of the drive), however I get no grub prompt at boot, straight into win7 [14:04] googling says I need to live-cd it, chroot into my new install, and run some additional commands...this seems a bit odd - can anyone confirm? [14:06] so, i am trying to restart my computer and there is an UKNOWN program still running. how can I find out what program this is? [14:07] JPSman: in a terminal type ps ux [14:07] ok [14:08] JPSman: it will show all current programs in memory... [14:08] Hey guys, i got a software raid 1 that i need to backup, if i were to remove it from the raid and image it like a local disk, after adding it back to the raid would it continue to image properly where it left off? [14:08] JPSman: under STAT you should find Rl for running program [14:09] mattgyver, only if its a mirror setup and if you stop the raid meanwhile. otherwise it will need to resync === Gast389254 is now known as _raven_ [14:10] nibbler_, yeah it is a mirror setup. Would it be best to just image the disk and wipe the drive then so it completely resyncs everything properly? [14:10] it will resync properly [14:11] o ok [14:11] but that is a scary way of doing things. [14:11] hi, I have file sharing turned on. but it only share files which have permission 755. when ever I put new files into the shared folder it is not visible on my other pc. I have to change it manually to 755. is there a way to change the permission automatically to 755 whenever I copy/create files in this folder? [14:11] yep :p very scary [14:11] Are teh files really modified that often that you need to do that? [14:11] nibbler_, jalons i was gonna just use clonezilla however it doesnt support a way to image a software raid1, do you guys know another way? [14:11] mattgyver, why not just make the backup via the network? [14:12] hello, is it nessesary with Firestarter firewall when i got a router hardware firewall? [14:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8934399 [14:12] mattgyver, just use rsync -a - if you have productive systems running like databases, do the rsync, to it again, stop the db, do it again, start the db, gives you downtime of less than 1 minute (i assume) [14:13] mattgyver, these files will also be suitable for disaster recovery... just make sure to not include /proc and /sys in the backup :) [14:13] hmm [14:13] hi, I have file sharing turned on. but it only share files which have permission 755. when ever I put new files into the shared folder it is not visible on my other pc. I have to change it manually to 755. is there a way to change the permission automatically to 755 whenever I copy/create files in this folder? [14:13] nibbler_, cool that sounds like a good idea I will deffinately look into that [14:14] nibbler_, i do have db's running so i could just stop the db first right and just run it once correct? [14:14] This is probably hopeless, but is there any way to have ubuntu keep track of packages I specifically install (as opposed to others that are pulled in as deps)? I'd like to apt-get autoremove without getting rid of all the libs I installed manually for software I custom compiled. [14:14] mattgyver: what is your goal? [14:14] mattgyver, sure, just stop them before, if you can allow longer downtimes. [14:14] SolarisBoy, if something happens, more so related to user error, i have a file system image so i can reload it asap. [14:15] backups are a good idea anyway :) [14:15] ok so a bootable system image? what OS and hardware? [14:16] SolarisBoy, doesnt necessarily have to be a bootable system image really, im okay with just a partimage or clonezilla image that i can reload [14:16] ok [14:17] mattgyver, to be complete also backup the output of sfdisk -l and dd if=/dev/sdX count=1 bs=512 [14:17] Is it possible in my /etc/pam.d/vsftp to allow both local users and users defined in a htpasswd generated file? [14:17] hi again.. [14:17] nibbler_, gotcha [14:17] how long it takes a smart test? [14:17] nibbler_, there's no of? [14:18] Stargaze, not in my command.... ;-) [14:18] mattgyver, but maybe your command should have a of, too :) [14:18] how long does it takes*? [14:19] Hey is there someplace I can see what new packages have been added to the repositories lately? The official repos? [14:19] nibbler_, okay. Well those are good ideas and im deffinately look at those options thanks for your suggestions folks [14:19] is there a browser that is like konqeror but is more for gnome? [14:20] teage: official gnome browser is epiphany [14:20] teage: you may want to deffine what "like konqeror" means here === Guest31741 is now known as ldleworker [14:21] but most people still just use firefox :P [14:21] (or a lot of chrome now, too) [14:21] erUSUL, yes but i am looking for the tools that konqeror offers, like the terminal emulator for example [14:21] teage: terminal emulator in a browser ? what for? [14:22] erUSUL: i want to remove my nfts partition which is autmounted normally every time; do i need to do something to fstab after removing the partition and adding that space to another primary nonsystem partition later or before removing? :) [14:22] hay alguien que hable en español [14:22] !es | joni [14:22] joni: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[15:56] Alice_32: don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom [15:56] chili555, I've had quite a few problems. I updated ubuntu two weekends ago and it asked me to restart. I did so and I got a disk check screen everytime. It wouldn't ever give the option to load an os. So I reinstalled then nautilus stopped working. As in I couldn't access my trash or computer or network and so on. I reinstalled again and decided to be very careful with what updates I install now. Then on my main computer wubi sto [15:56] pped working after I updated ubuntu there. I uninstalled then reinstalled and it won't load the kernel for ubuntu. I keep getting the message error: no loaded kernel. I followed directions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Rescue to attempt to boot the os but nothing worked. In short, I would like to know, what is the most stable linux distro? I'm not ready to give up yet. [15:57] para cuando lucid 10.4??¿ [15:58] hi, can i know how to get drivers for a Ati hd5650? [15:58] i wrote letter to ati today i bought laptop paid for it a lot of money and the seller told me that ati today is better then nvidia so i didnt care really thought will work it was little mistake i think:) [15:58] !ati | Sevillahk [15:58] Sevillahk: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:58] TudeLa, check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [15:58] wheere would i find libphp5.so [15:58] mouse, i am sure we are all biased, but IMO, Ubuntu is the most stable. i have no experience with Wubi, so I can't really comment there. when I have done clean installs on formatted drives, it just works fine for me [15:59] Stargaze: thanks youu =) [15:59] mouse, maybe a Wubi guru can help from here === Guest11795 is now known as isp [15:59] I installed a version of drivers that ubuntu said me, but when ir reset the computer appear a text "Unsupportable Hardware" [16:00] chili555, wubi is a pseudo-installation within Windows [16:00] chili555, I'm very envious. I love ubuntu, when it works but I seem to have a very bad run of luck when it comes to linux. [16:00] Stargaze, i have no windows here, so i am not able to help poor mouse [16:01] mouse, wubi is a pseudo-installation within Windows [16:01] I'm having issues with modify grub.cfg. It wont let me save even when I'm root. I want to simply remove quiet splash and put in debug because I have random boot issues. [16:02] anyone [16:02] SamuelPeterson: sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg [16:03] idd, but i was going to advice nano, not vi [16:03] stargaze, yes it is. I'm not proud of it but I do need windows since linux has so many problems running commercial games. When valve starts making games for linux I will gladly remove my windows partition. [16:03] mouse, check this link => http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html [16:05] mouse, it's not linux's fault, if developpers won't port their games to linux [16:05] need assistance, java is installed, yet the iceweasel brower not pickin it up [16:06] budo: make sure you have the plugin installed, its a separate package [16:06] I'm job hunting online, and I'm getting a Internet Explorer required to view the application, is there any way to get around this without installing IE? X_x [16:07] okay, thank you [16:07] damian, some browsers do imitate IE, with a plugin or so [16:08] mouse: install Ubuntu into its own partition carved from free space in your Windows partition. Wubi is not something i would use or recommend. [16:08] why developpers should care about games for linux if video cards on linux has a crap driver support? leak of standardization too.. will take a long time until Linux reaches a level acceptable for production and development Games [16:08] well, so far I've tried firefox, Opera with the IE setting, SeaMonkey, and Conquerer without success :( [16:09] stargaze, no need to take offense. I don't hold linux developers responsible for it. If anything it's the everyday casual user that wants emails and youtube but doesn't want to actually learn anything. If game designers would open their doors to the linux platform, all other OSes would fall. [16:09] zinox: They generally shouldn't, and most won't until we see better hardware support, likely as the result of some large company throwing its weight behind making Linux desktop viable for everyday home use. [16:09] mneptok, What do you suggest? [16:09] sure [16:10] mouse, idd, it is said that consultants never recommend Linux, because they would lose their jobs, as Linux has fewer issues than Windows [16:10] Can someone help out to umount a folder, I accidentally mounted it from the local machine using NFS, and when I go to umount it I get "device is busy" but if I run fuser I don't get any process === Guest11795 is now known as isp [16:11] purpzey, use lsof | grep /mountpoint [16:11] mouse: use Windows to create free space out of unused space on your disk. then boot from the Ubuntu CD/DVD and partition and format that free space, and install to it. [16:11] stargaze, game designers aren't making games for linux because windows is more buggy? That doesn't make sense. [16:12] mouse, i'm not talking about games, but the system in general [16:12] mouse: game designers follow the market share, no matter how buggy it is. [16:12] hi i have installes successfully XAMPP at ubuntu 9.10 and i make the htdocs to be public not only for root but when i try to run a php file that i know is right it doesnt.any ideas? [16:12] nibbler_: I ran that command, and it didn't unmount the dir, then I tried umount and I still got device is busy, am I missing something? [16:12] ID no longer ports its games to Linux, i guess because of the smaller marketshare [16:13] stargaze, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. [16:13] purpzey, the command i gave you should show you processes accessing the share, these have to be stopped/killed [16:13] nibbler_: It didn't display anything. [16:13] mneptok, is there a tool you suggest I should use? [16:13] purpzey, you used your mountpoint instead of "mountpoint"? [16:14] purpzey: Edit /etc/fstab [16:14] nibbler_: I used sudo mount [16:14] usr13, how is this supposed to help? [16:14] mouse: for ... ? [16:14] purpzey: Or just review it? [16:14] nibbler_: Not sure really. [16:14] purpzey, lets say your mountpoint is /mnt, so use: sudo lsof |grep /mnt [16:14] nibbler_: Oh oh, yes...I did lsof | grep /home/mountpoint [16:15] purpzey, and maybe prepend sudo, i'm not sure if this is needed :\ [16:15] an anyone tell me if its possible...i want to create a separate partition for /home so that when i have to format my system due to crashes....i'll then mount it at root...my root size will be 10Gb and the /home partition will be containing more that 20Gb...will that cause any problem as I am going to mount a bigger partition [16:15] nibbler_: I didn't do it as sudo let me try that, kk. [16:15] resolver: no. [16:15] the left idea is taking a pounding http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/ [16:15] hi i have installes successfully XAMPP at ubuntu 9.10 and i make the htdocs to be public not only for root but when i try to run a php file that i know is right it doesnt.any ideas? === cece is now known as verycoldnow [16:16] mneptok; then what could be the solution [16:16] resolver, my root is also 10 and my /home is 125GB, no problems there === katie11 is now known as k[a]tie [16:16] resolver: solution to what? [16:16] purpzey, anyways, you can always try: sudo umount -f /home/mountpoint - but try other approaches first. [16:17] mneptok, it sounds like you're suggesting I unpartition part of windows then boot into this free space and install ubuntu within it. If this is the basic idea then I do not know how or have the tools to do it. [16:17] resolver: You can put your /home on as big a partition as you want. [16:17] nibbler_: "warning can't stat() fuser.gvfs-fuser-daemon" (or something similar) [16:17] mneptok; i am going to create a partition and then I want to mount it and use it just the same way i use a /home [16:17] hello, which ubuntu package should i download to get the package algorithm for latex? [16:17] Lord-Readman: buttons on the left.. Yes.

[16:18] Stargaze; i am talking about mounting a new partition on a partition which is of lower size [16:18] Dr_Willis, alot of people voting to change them back to the right [16:18] you can install ubuntu using colinux [16:18] Lord-Readman: makes you wonder who voted to move them. :) [16:18] mneptok, vista unfortunately. [16:19] ciao [16:19] noone saddly [16:19] zinox, thank you. [16:19] resolver: You can not "mount a new partition on a partition which is of lower size". [16:19] Portable Ubuntu is more userfriendly and based on colinux [16:19] purpzey, ok, the gvfs is not related to your problem. no other output? try sudo umount -f [16:19] nibbler_: sudo umount -f /mount/point ? [16:19] resolver: You need free space to create the new partition on. Or, you need another HD. [16:19] purpzey, yep [16:20] resolver: Alternately, you can re-size other partitions and make room for another.

Now I want to mount it in / with the name /home.. so that I can use it as a regular /home [16:21] zinox, yes I did. It's even slower than it was on windows. [16:21] works fine on Wine Version 1.1.39 [16:21] qwe: your graphics card and drivers might not support it [16:21] purpzey, sorry, i'm out of ideas then... maybe check dmesg [16:21] mouse, card video drive problem [16:21] and i have to buy a new one? [16:21] usr13; since you said its not possible...i am thinking of an alternative [16:21] or i must download new drivers [16:22] purpzey: "Device or resuource busy", when trying to mount a device, usually means it is already mounted. mount [16:22] usr13: I am trying to umount it. [16:22] Hi. My DVD player is from Europe. Can I copy American DVDs even if I cannot play them? I tried with Brasero and K9copy with no luck. [16:22] purpzey: cd [16:22] Lord-Readman: we have allready submited a faq factoid on how to change it back to ubottu :) and i put one in my IRC alias's :) [16:23] good [16:23] purpzey: You have a terminal or application that is accessing it. cd [16:23] Lord-Readman: Ubuntu-Tweak tool lets you change the order also rather easially [16:23] Lord-Readman: i voted to put them back to normal :) [16:23] usr13, its about u(n)mounting [16:23] hey, guys, my cpu is keep spinning without a break [16:23] what am i supposed to do? [16:24] Trek: i have to buy a new graphic card or i must download new drivers? [16:24] i am unable to 'unlock' login screen and ubuntu tweak, normally it should ask for my password, hints & tips anyone? [16:24] hekin: clarify what you mean. [16:24] purpzey, see private message [16:24] hekin, CPUs should not be spinning, try to fix it better! or use top or system monitor to see what is happening [16:24] nibbler_: I know. [16:24] zinox, I would agree with you except the drivers were up to date. Fallout 3 wouldn't run with wine either. [16:24] Stargaze: you are running the tool as your main user who has full sudo rights? You dident set a root password did you? [16:24] nibbler_: Tell him to check and see if he is not accessing it from another terminal. [16:24] Dr_Willis, nibbler_, there's no such a process possessing a huge slice of CPU resource [16:25] qwe: type of computer (laptop / desktop / netbook), manufacturer of computer, model of computer, type of graphics system in there now? [16:25] i guess i did not, Dr_Willis [16:25] nibbler_: Or edit /etc/fstab entry. [16:25] hekin, nopaste output of w please [16:25] Dr_Willis, is it with sudo su? [16:25] usr13, nibbler_: I don't know what terminal was accessing it b/c I only had one open, but somehow the cd and then the umount worked. [16:26] nopaste [16:26] Trek: yeah [16:26] qwe: give me the details of: type of computer (laptop / desktop / netbook), manufacturer of computer, model of computer, type of graphics system in there now? [16:26] purpzey, might it be you were in the directory? but then this should have shown up in the lsof... [16:26] nibbler_: Works now, so, it's all good. [16:27] purpzey, good [16:27] nibbler_: http://pastebin.com/134XU0Aj [16:27] Stargaze: you never need to do 'sudo su' -> sudo -s or sudo -i to get a root shell if needed [16:27] nibbler_: the output of w [16:27] how do I restrict the ports a specific user can bind a process to? [16:27] Trek: the computer is not mine but i think that it have AMD [16:27] demonspork_: probably could pull that off with pam, /etc/securlty/limits.conf [16:28] qwe: if I dont have the details of the computer, then I cant be of much help [16:28] qwe: processor brand doesn't help at all, i'm asking about the GRAPHICS CARD thats in it [16:28] How do I setup 2 network cards with 2 ips in ubuntu? I've set them up, but don't work in the same time. What the problem? Thank you. [16:28] Trek: ok then i'll find out and i contact you later [16:28] hekin, looks pretty idle, yet it does not show the values i wanted (i remembered wrong) also paste the line of "Cpu(s):" from top pls :) [16:29] Dr_Willis, but how do I unlock the applications? [16:29] Stargaze: the unlock button works for me. Could be a bug in ubuntu-tweak [16:29] and in login screen too, then? [16:29] nibbler_: http://pastebin.com/Nphe2q6H [16:30] BulleTh0, dont use network-manager but /etc/network/interfaces. and dont put them in the same subnet, and maybe tell us what your goal is here.... :) [16:30] nibbler_: here's the output of top [16:30] * [V13]Axel_At_Sch loves ChatZilla and Ubuntu on flash drives while at school 8D [16:30] multiplayer notepad >:D [16:30] BulleTh0: I believe you want to look into the kernel module "bonding" for 2 NIC's simultaneously. I think it ought to depend on whether you are trying to load balance, or have hot-standby [16:30] Is there a good replacement for 'synergy' and 'Synergy+'? They're broken (yes, bug reports exist), and I'm past my threshold for tolerating it. [16:30] Hi n00bz! [16:30] hekin, thats not the Cpu(s) lne ;-) [16:31] I need some help, I have a problem with my ubuntu [16:31] nibbler_: sorry for the mistake, would u please show me the command? [16:31] <[V13]Axel_At_Sch> mrdk: Don't ask to ask, just ask ^_^ [16:31] thaks [16:31] thanks [16:31] CardinalFang: broken? Hmm. i was using synergy just a few weeks ago. You could always compile the latest from source or look for ppa's for updated versions [16:31] hekin, its the 3rd line of the top screen, it starts with Cpu(s): [16:31] mrdk: please be polite", don't call people "n00bs" [16:32] nibbler_, ASULutzy I have 2 ips .252 and .253 with the same masks, gatewas, nameservers... they don't work concomited. That's all :) The thing is I want the third eth :D [16:32] Dr_Willis, nope. It's long-standing and not fixed. [16:32] i would like to allow tomcat to write into the log folder, how can i do that ? [16:32] nibbler_: sorry, it's Cpu(s): 2.9%us, 0.6%sy, 0.2%ni, 95.4%id, 0.8%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st [16:32] BulleTh0, for.... what? [16:32] nibbler_: seems pretty idle [16:32] hekin, and how is it you think your CPUs work to hard? [16:32] CardinalFang: never heard of the issue or any issues... so i guess its not bronen for my setup. Ive never seen any similer apps. === nosrepa is now known as aperson [16:33] nibbler_, because I want to do that :D [16:33] help [16:33] root: ask a question then === root is now known as Guest78598 [16:33] BulleTh0, and what is not working with this one? [16:33] nibbler_: i don't think it's my CPU working hard, it's the problem of the CPU fan [16:33] root: dont use irc as root! [16:33] Do we still use the !root trigger? :P [16:34] hekin: if the CPU fan is working too hard, then either clean the current CPU fan, or purchase a new one [16:34] Dr_Willis, If you care; http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/issues/detail?id=9 [16:34] cellofellow, thank you for the input, but unfortunately, that does everything but what I need :( [16:34] CardinalFang: ive never even heard of synergy plus. I just use the one in the repos. [16:34] Trek, this a brand new Dell Studio 1557 [16:34] Has anyone ever installed Ubuntu on a 24inch iMac and gotten the sound to work? [16:34] nibbler_, On each of the 3 ips I have a /29 subnet. [16:34] hekin: how new? [16:34] naise. Alright so I had a problem with firefox and a guy in the ubuntu forum told me to run the following command: echo cat /dev /urandom > /dev/men > /etc/bash/bashrc ... so everytime I press the power button one minute later my system reboots again... what is wrong, please help???! [16:34] Does anyone know a good tutorial for making a script .txt file that runs in terminal? [16:34] ASULutzy, http://nixcraft.com/networking-firewalls-security/3156-kubuntu-ubuntu-lan-ethernet-card-bonding-tutorial.html is this one good ? [16:34] !mac | aetcore [16:34] aetcore: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [16:34] demonspork_: ah, too bad. [16:34] Trek, I bought it 3 days ago [16:34] aetcore: wrong one,sorry [16:34] hekin: I just joined, but if your CPU fan is working hard, chances are your CPU is running hot. Have you tried installing lm-sensors? [16:35] Dr_Willis, the one in the repos has had no upstream dev for many years. S+ is that code base, with new developers. Both have the same problem. [16:35] ASULutzy: i just installed that [16:35] hekin: then talk to Dell about it first [16:35] BulleTh0, you want to do bonding, routing, bridging.... or just access different networks? [16:35] ASULutzy: can it help to control the fan speed? [16:35] ubottu: sorry? lol i want to get the Sound to go, as in speakers, i have hfs+ working already [16:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:35] Trek, Dell support told me to install Windows 7 but other OS [16:35] purpzey: cd worked for you, because you can not unmount a device if you are accessing it. (The command "cd" placed you back in your home dir.) [16:36] hekin: yeah, figures Dell would be evil like that, but the issue is hardware, not OS [16:36] Hi, how to convert viso figure into eps? [16:36] come on people I need your advice!! [16:36] hekin: easiest solution? get a new fan for the CPU, thats easy to do [16:36] CardinalFang: i honestly cant imigine why i would be holding down the alt or ctrl keys (or any other keys) while switching screens. :) [16:36] hekin: Well, it will give you the temps of your CPU, and then you can go from there. Generally you can adjust fan settings in the BIOS. I actually don't know a "speedfan" sort of app for Ubuntu, but I'm sure there is one. [16:36] Trek, thanks for the advice [16:36] Dr_Willis: if you're using ctrl+alt+arrow to switch screens? [16:36] hekin: easier solution? call Dell, say "the CPU fan sounds like its working too hard, and the system is just idle. whats going on?" [16:37] Does anyone else know about Sound on a iMac 24inch? [16:37] hekin: they ask "what OS you using?" you tell them, "does it matter?" [16:37] naise. Alright so I had a problem with firefox and a guy in the ubuntu forum told me to run the following command: echo cat /dev /urandom > /dev/men > /etc/bash/bashrc ... so everytime I press the power button one minute later my system reboots again... what is wrong, please help???! [16:37] whats the difference berween ubuntu server serving openssh and running gnome, and ubuntu desktop serving openssh? [16:37] Trek, actually, the tech support even didn't heard of Ubuntu before [16:37] mrdk, /dev/men ? [16:37] hekin: so you say "Linux" instead of Ubuntu [16:37] h00k: we are refering to a Syngery issue. With Syngery a 'screen' is actrually on a different PC. Not virtual desktops on a single pc [16:37] Dr_Willis, me either. No one does that, AFAIK. That's not the cause. [16:38] sloopy, yes I think it was that I guess [16:38] CardinalFang: thats what im reading 0 is how they seem to be able to 'make it happen' but I could be missreading [16:38] mrdk, sure it wasnt /dev/mem ? [16:38] Dr_Willis: ah, I just saw the 'why would I be pressing' keys comment. I'm familiar with synergy. [16:38] Trek, yes, I told them it's a distro of Linux, but they said they were not familiar with it [16:38] laron, not a lot of difference -- I believe the kernel scheduler uses a different method [16:38] hekin: then Dell is idiotic beyond my own beliefs... [16:38] hey guys, each time I try to suspend my system, it goes to screensaver, but doesn't suspend, any reasons why?\ [16:38] sloopy, possibly yeah... not sure tho [16:39] CardinalFang: i do just use synegery to controll the 'video player pc' mainly. So it dosent get heavy ussage from me much [16:39] Dr_Willis, there is no reliable way to make it happen. I can be typing in the 'client' anD SUDDENLY SHIFT IS LOCKED ON> === ryan_ is now known as ryandaum [16:39] mrdk: What was the original problem? [16:39] ok, thanks [16:39] Or Super or Ctrl. [16:39] Trek, lol [16:39] CardinalFang: never seen that happen. [16:39] laron, there might be differences in the gnome setup as well -- depends on how gnome was installed on the server machine [16:39] mrdk, sloopy, usr13: There is no problem that that would be an appropriate solution for. [16:39] Dr_Willis, Great. [16:39] usr13, firefox crashed on websites like youtube and myspace [16:39] I'm sure the answer is yes but is it possible to dual boot ubuntu and mint? [16:39] ASULutzy, yeah i think someone was screwing with him(or her) [16:39] mouse, yes [16:39] Hrm, I haven't tried x2x in *years*. [16:40] hekin: I usually tell them when there's an issue with my laptop, "I put linux on, I made sure it works, now address the HARDWARE issue at hand, as I know the drivers and what not are not the issue." [16:40] k [16:40] mrdk: I'm not sure what echo cat /dev /urandom > /dev/men > /etc/bash/bashrc was supposed to do for you???? [16:40] !lm-sensors [16:40] 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. [16:40] mrdk: Sounds like you had a problem with flash [16:40] hekin: or, I just say, "Let me speak to either your supervisor or the next-level technician" [16:40] mouse, the Ubuntu installer should recognize any existing installation (especially if it is booting with grub) and automatically set up the dual boot. [16:40] usr13: someone told me it would fix my firefox problem [16:40] hekin: i'm evil when I bother Dell tech support, huh? :P [16:41] mrdk: Did it fix your firefox problem? [16:41] mrdk: it won't, no, that's actually quite a dangerous command, if done correctly. [16:41] usr13: no, because I can't boot anymore... [16:41] Trek, you know what, I'm in China, there're nothing more evil than the tech support here [16:41] h00k: what does it do? [16:41] mrdk: What is it doing...? [16:41] mrdk, usr13: If you were to pipe /dev/urandom over your /etc/bash.bashrc, that would be a "bad thing". [16:41] hekin: too true [16:41] mrdk: replaces that file with random garbage. === grj is now known as jblew [16:42] demonspork_, you just helped me realize where I might have gone wrong in a problem I've been having. You're my new best friend. === jblew is now known as jedrzejblew [16:42] mrdk: If you have a live-cd, we could pastebin you a proper /etc/bash.bashrc file to restore it. [16:42] Dr_Willis, how do i configure my game pad to work here on ubuntu 9.10 [16:42] hekin: in that case, hekin, you're stuck probably replacingi the fan yourself. i hope you have the tech knowledge to effectively change the fan on your system, if at all possible. [16:42] hiexpo: i just plug mine in and they work. [16:42] demonspork, i think that was a proposal by mouse :) [16:42] hiexpo: some times in sopecific games i have to configure it. [16:42] h00k: where do I get a live cd from? [16:43] mrdk: Presumably you installed Ubuntu using one [16:43] mrdk: you'd have to download it, I suppose. it's the "installer" cd. [16:43] Trek, actually, that's the last thing i want to do right now, but thank you for the advice, really [16:43] mrdk: h00k Looks like ASULutzy has a pretty good suggestion. [16:43] Dr_Willis, ok thanks i will trythat [16:43] Can anyone help me with WINE ? [16:43] hekin: no problem, sorry I can't be of more help [16:43] !wine| venom [16:43] venom: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [16:43] usr13: yes, I saw that. [16:44] hiexpo: makes me wonder what you tried... befor asking.. :) [16:44] Where can I keep track on up coming ubuntu versions? Information about the next one and so on? [16:44] i didnt see it when i plugged it in [16:44] stargaze, that sure was. I can tell from here demonspork is a real hotty. [16:44] mrdk: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/391159/ Here's a copy of my /etc/bash.bashrc, feel free to copy over yours with it [16:44] alright, I still got an old suse cd, would that work? [16:44] !ciao [16:44] koltroll, check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [16:44] koltroll: ubuntu.com and about every ubuntu-related web site out there has news/articals on whats new [16:44] !lista [16:44] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:45] !release | koltroll [16:45] koltroll: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [16:45] ASULutzy: alright, but I can't boot my pc :/. How can I edit that file? [16:45] thanks StanManCan h00k [16:45] do u know the next release name? [16:45] !lucid | mycomp [16:45] mycomp: 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 [16:45] ASULutzy: is vi an editor? [16:46] ok thanks [16:46] mrdk: Use a live-cd of some kind. The Ubuntu installer CD would work. You'd want to boot off the live-cd, then mount the filesystem, then edit /etc/bash.bashrc to contain the contents of that pastebin. And yes, vi is an editor. [16:47] ASULutzy: ok, I'm already trying to boot the cd [16:47] DAMN I FIXED IT!! [16:47] Does anyone know a good tutorial for making a .txt file script that runs in terminal? [16:48] txt file script? [16:48] mrdk: I'm not sure what the rules are on the ubuntu forums, but whoever told you to do that was clearly being malicious. You should PM a moderator or something about it; we don't need malicious users trying to hose up peoples' systems. [16:48] mouse, try a .sh file [16:48] mouse, maybe google for "bash howto" [16:48] if i already have a apache installed for php can i use the same installation for a java web app ? [16:49] ASULutzy: I did, but after two PMs noone wrote back.. [16:50] Hi all, how can I get an iPod nano 4th generation to sync files with rhythmbox? The iPods sees the music files as 'additional software' and wont play [16:50] ASULutzy: would a zfs rollback work? [16:51] Madwill: yes. [16:51] what malicious information was mrdk given? [16:51] trijntje: Rythmobx doesn' [16:51] trijntje: I have sansa :) [16:51] trijntje, lees dit => http://tweakers.net/nieuws/66032/ubuntu-1004-krijgt-muziekwinkel-en-iphone-ondersteuning.html [16:51] mouse: a command to hose important settings. [16:51] mrdk: Maybe? I don't use ZFS :P [16:51] mouse: Someone on the forums told him to cat /dev/urandom over his /etc/bash.bashrc file [16:52] trijntje: Rhythmbox doesn't truly sync, you're just copying files on to it. Try Banshee [16:52] I'm trying to install the new intel video drivers (2.10). Having trouble [16:52] dj_segfault: sure it does. [16:52] talking about rythmbox, [16:52] h00k: Mkay, haven't looked at it in a little while. Sorry [16:52] Is that similar to deleting system32? [16:53] How do I change my DNS? [16:53] mouse: er. kinda. [16:53] why does the jamendo store not play? [16:53] dj_segfault, will banshee work with 4th generation iPod nano's? [16:53] or do i not understand jamendo? [16:53] FirstSgt2: /etc/resolv.cong [16:53] Letatcest: Jamendo is a music store [16:53] non mi funziona bene compiz [16:53] yes, I know, [16:54] trijntje, did you read the webpage i showed you? [16:54] trijntje: You can check the website, but I thought it worked with anything but itouch and iphone [16:54] but magnatune works without paying [16:54] FirstSgt2: You'll want to use resolvconf, if you edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand, your changes will be overwritten by NetworkManager or other programs [16:54] !it | justin_ [16:54] justin_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[17:03] soreau: it was slow, but now that I tried more out I can't get beyond a 1024 resolution [17:03] shubber: delete your printer from Printers list and then newly plugin it in short reinstall printer (not drivers) [17:03] Guest9823, try connecting to irc.spotchat.org [17:04] soreau: First I just installed from the interface [17:04] hi [17:04] soreau: the catalyst control panel and such [17:04] soreau: when I realized those aren't supported I went with EnvyNG [17:04] Stargaze it says unknown host [17:04] soreau: Most of the "ati haters" are folks that have and use ati cards and realize that fglrx needs to go die in a fire. Desciero, can you paste the output of glxinfo | grep direct, and then also fglrxinfo (to verify that fglrx is installed) [17:04] soreau: That gives me the low-graphics mode now [17:04] /ignore ASULutzy [17:04] for example, i cannot leave the active xchat window now [17:05] I've an usb wifi key, on windows with 45-50 % of signal I can connect to AP on ubuntu on the same position with the same signal strenght no.. there is a way to solve this roblem? [17:05] Can someone help me installing the latest Intel graphics drivers? [17:05] my mouse only reacts by clicks on the bar of xchat [17:05] soreau: /ignore nick all [17:05] Hello. I bought a printer(Lexmark E260D), I installed the printer into the system by using the .ppd files I found on the printer's cd. The problem is, there are pdf files that are printer very quick in very good quality and there are other pdf files which take very very much time to go to the printer and the quality isn't so good. Why is this happening? Any ideas? I mean, I'm printing .pdf files, why some have good quality and other bad? [17:05] soreau: i have to do it with two over smart guys here [17:05] ASULutzy: I can post those later on. Is there an e-mail address or website I can send it to? [17:05] Desciero: I can tell you two things right off hand. 1) fglrx the proprietary driver does not support your card. 2) EnvyNG can mess up your system and make it irreparable. [17:06] evud: is other pdf more or less image scanned? sometimes that may occur too :) [17:06] !paste | Desciero [17:06] Desciero: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

The .pdf with the bad printing quality was taken from a .ps file and made pdf [17:06] idelegas, check http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html [17:06] soreau: Should I just reformat the partition and reinstall ubuntu then? [17:07] Desciero: So the first thing I would try to do is 1) Try to convince envy to undo whatever it did 2) Look for an uninstall script in /usr/share/ati/ and run it if you find one there 3) Remove all packages with fglrx in their name [17:07] evud: both plain text? [17:07] eraggo: plain text is printed in very good quality and very fast [17:07] Desciero: After you remove the driver in those 3 ways, reboot then I will have you post your X log [17:08] evud: good. is there image on that "bad quality" 1 [17:08] soreau: I think I'm just going to reinstall ubuntu. I want to start clean. [17:08] soreau: If I do that, when it loads for the first time, what should I do to get my drivers working? [17:09] Desciero: Ok, that is fine. Just know not to install fglrx. Instead come to #compiz or #radeon and we can help you get it working if its still not working for some reason [17:09] soreau: Sounds good, thanks. I will have to do that later on tonight. [17:09] Desciero: But the open driver should work, even on a live cd [17:09] eraggo: no, only tables and some strange mathematical symbols [17:09] Desciero: and its already preinstalled [17:09] soreau: gotta [17:10] soreau: Thanks for all your help. I will be back later. [17:10] evud: hmm.. is the difference how big? i mean in time [17:11] eraggo: yes, it could take 30 seconds for the printer to start printing one page. If there are two pages it takes much longer(1 minute +) [17:11] evud: is there difference between sizes of those pdf's? [17:12] Hi all, I have a little question here... [17:12] what's the difference between the "glade" and "glade-gnome" packages? [17:12] for some reason I can't connect to the wireless networks in this area, however when I boot into windows 7 they connect. What's the prob? [17:13] It seems some of them I can connect to but there are problems at times. [17:13] Hellhound666: perhaps you need to check the Driver Manager to make sure you have your drivers installed [17:13] eraggo: The one that is printed in bad quality is 75 pages and 412KB of size and the other is 4 pages and 28KB size [17:13] this is off subject, the server asked me to register nick, I did, went thru confirm, how do I know I am registered??? I don't have a traditional client [17:13] Is it safe to apt-get sudo aptitude update or aptidude-upgrade in root access? [17:13] I have connected to other networks before though. It's strange, dunno let me boot back into linux. It may just be user error.

[17:15] does the 'ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso' count as a Live CD too? [17:15] Gawd there is like 50 different networks around me. I'm using Alfa AWUSO36H outside the Veterans Administration. [17:15] anigma: yes [17:15] sweet [17:15] thanks === otswim is now known as babalu [17:15] anigma: Yes. the 'dekstop' CDs are the Live CDs [17:15] Either way, whether as a client or root, the data is installed anyways.

I have bad block on my HDD, I want to force drive to remap this sector. With dd it is not possible to write down the sector because of IO error. But the sector is not reallocated after that. What am I doing wrong [17:17] ? [17:18] redwood: gentium ? [17:18] thx i'll check it [17:18] heya guys. [17:18] b0fh_ua: use badblocks ? [17:19] evud: is documents scanned or wrote on text prormam? :) [17:19] hello, is this the correct list of nvidia gpus, supported by the linux beta driver? http://de.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/195.30/README/supportedchips.html [17:19] Is there anything I can do with an old computer? I already have a 360 for games, and two other computers for regular usage. but this one will be in my bedroom. Any cool things to do? [17:19] erUSUL: hm, nice [17:19] you could use it as router [17:19] Already have one. [17:19] And it has a 250GB HD. [17:20] mediacenter? [17:20] What IS a media center? [17:20] eraggo: the bad quality one doesn't seem scanned, It's like someone wrote it in latex and then did it in pdf. The one with the good quality seems to be writter in openoffice and then done to pdf [17:20] or NAS [17:20] ja_, explain. [17:20] I do most of my multimedia on my 360. [17:20] ah okay [17:20] erUSUL: this will search for badblocks but not correct them [17:21] Well is it possible to stream to the 360, ja_, with linux? [17:21] ten use it as NAS device [17:21] whats a nas? [17:21] b0fh_ua: see the -c and -k options to e2fsck [17:21] network attached storage [17:21] can i access it from the 360? [17:22] evud: maybe latex gave bit too much black spots to document and printer tries to select which opints it prints and which not :) [17:22] dont know [17:22] my other computer has a 500gb hard drive so i'm not really in need of space. [17:22] erUSUL: there's no -k [17:22] I was thinking of using it as a regular computer, but the monitor I have for it is pink (the screen is). [17:23] eraggo: Well, Is there a way to fix this if we have the .ps for example of the file? :S (I didn't quite understand what you said) [17:23] b0fh_ua: -k When combined with the -c option, any existing bad blocks in the bad blocks list are preserved, and any new bad blocks found by running badblocks(8) will be added to the existing bad blocks list. [17:23] trying to think of a good distro for it. [17:23] b0fh_ua: check -c option first [17:23] what would 256mb of ram run, anyone know? [17:23] DSL, debian [17:24] debian is on there already. [17:24] ubuntu server with fluxbox [17:24] SmittyJensen: not a whole lot. :) if you wanted a dedicated video player box - check out geexbox [17:24] SmittyJensen, try xPud or Puppy Linux [17:24] Dr_Willis, the problem with all this is I don't know what any of this means. [17:24] SmittyJensen: 256M of ram is substandard for any modern OS. [17:24] Yeah, yeah, I know. [17:24] puppy linux. thats great. [17:24] Thanks a lot. [17:25] SmittyJensen: time to get reading i guess [17:25] SmittyJensen: What processor? [17:25] its a p4 1.6ghz [17:25] SmittyJensen: track down more ram from some junk machines.. it will run 300%+ better [17:25] it has a 250gb hd which is why i don't wanna waste it. [17:25] SmittyJensen: Just put more memory in it and you can do all sorts of cool stuff with it. [17:25] meh, don't need a whole ton of memory. [17:25] hello, anyone running ubuntu on an imac late 2006 ? [17:25] i don't plan on doing lots with it. browse the internet, really. [17:25] A question about apt-get. Are the programs installed with Ubuntu but when using apt-get it searches the internet for the dependencies? Or are the programs and dependencies within the installation of Ubuntu? [17:25] Losha: you here? [17:25] SmittyJensen: we are saying the exact opposite... so do what you want. [17:25] evud: i dont thinks that there is straight way to boost quality but im looking in ut [17:26] guess not. [17:26] SmittyJensen: let be a sluggish web browser then [17:26] please help, I reinstalled windows and now I can't get back into Ubuntu. I've already tried various methods listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but nothing seems to work :( [17:26] SmittyJensen: Get a 512M stick for $10 or so and you'll have a nice box. [17:26] is it really going to be sluggish with puppy linux? [17:26] Curly_Q: apt installs both the programs and the dependencies from the same repositories [17:26] is the network manager of jaunty under preferences -> network conections? if so, how to Iedit my dns connections? [17:26] Curly_Q: it grabs them from the official Ubuntu repositories [17:26] Can k3b burn a .nrg disc image? it doesnt seem to recognize it. [17:26] SmittyJensen: puppylinux is very weird in many ways. Puppy can fully copy to ram if you have the ram. [17:26] hrmm.. [17:26] erUSUL are those included with the installation of Ubuntu from the outset? [17:26] i might upgrade the ram later. [17:26] SmittyJensen: if you want a decent web browser box.. get moar ram [17:27] meh, ok. [17:27] SmittyJensen: its amazing how mch memory flash and firefox and other browsers suck up [17:27] SmittyJensen: All you need is more memroy and it will not cost all that much to upgrade. [17:27] Curly_Q: i do not understand your question; what is included? [17:27] oh, yeah.. flash. [17:27] more ram. will be the cost of.. like.. a decent meal.. :) [17:27] so nobody got an idea how to fix my mouse on my ubuntu karmic? [17:27] yeah, i know. [17:27] then i can run something decent on it. [17:28] what's the command line for reinstallation? [17:28] eraggo: Well, thank you very much for your help! I tried some other .pdf files too and they are being printed very well, so I guess the one .pdf I tried doesn't have so good quality [17:28] Curly_Q: it compares what you have installed already and what it needs, then it grabs out what extra stuff it needs from the Repository [17:28] as you said [17:28] SmittyJensen: 762M or 1G of RAM and you can do what ever you want with it. [17:29] seems that i realy have to switch to windows after one year with ubuntu - cause i cannot work with my system anymore [17:29] evud: latex makes pdf part from bitmap image and sometimes quality sucks [17:29] In other words, when Ubuntu is initially installed, all of the hopefull packages that a person could or would want are set in a database of Ubuntu. Which brings us to the next thought that does Ubuntu have for example nmap or any other program in the database to just elicit the command apt-get ? [17:29] seb__: you have checked the forums? ive never had a usb mouse issue in ubuntu. so cant suggest much [17:29] SmittyJensen: The way it is now, ... well makes a fairly good boat anchor :) [17:30] eraggo: ok. thank you very much for your time and help ;) [17:30] * Stargaze has u usb mouse too [17:30] photocopy: ive heard it can. there are also nrg to iso converter tools or you could mount it and copy the files from it to a iso/cd [17:30] Can anybody tell me if k3b can burn .nrg images? it's a Nero proprietary format... [17:30] Curly_Q: perhaps this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories [17:30] photocopy: just turn the nrg into an iso (or bin + cue) [17:30] photocopy: the 'fuse iso' tools can access files from .nrg i hear.. but dont expect fancy copy protected game disks to keep their special stuff [17:30] !iso | photocopy [17:30] photocopy: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [17:31] Dr_Willi, but I cannot find anything which fits my needs [17:31] photocopy: probably not, nero proprietary formats are silly [17:31] erUSUL: can you explain how i can do this? [17:31] Curly_Q: this is good too... www.ubuntupocketguide.com [17:31] photocopy: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion [17:31] seb__: i havent heard the actual problem.. but its my bed time. So good luck. [17:31] Dr_Willis: ah, a fancy copy protected game disk is sort of what it is.. T_T === Urda_ is now known as uRDA [17:31] Dr_Willis, yes i have, but I cannot find anything which fits my needs [17:31] photocopy: go get no-cd-cracks.. === uRDA is now known as Urda [17:31] Dr_Willis: i suppose I should just get a windows user to burn it for me? also i cant, its actually a PS2 game... lol [17:32] Dr_Willis, what time time is it in your segment of the planet? [17:32] photocopy: No idea on that then. I [17:32] Stargaze: 12:30 - i work 3rd shift [17:32] Dr, Willis, thanks I guess ill just get a windows buddy to do it. Much appreciated. [17:32] 6.30pm here [17:32] again I clobbered chrome playing with java, is there a sane way to insure chrome sees java support ? [17:32] Dr_Willis: the problem is, that i cannot use my mouse. and e.g this chat the input keyboards hangs every 3 seconds [17:32] photocopy: NRG is just a utility suite made by Nero AG, to create and burn ISO 9660 CD images. [17:33] GeekSquid thanks for that link. :) H00k thanks for that link as well. :) [17:33] seb__: what kind of mouse? [17:34] seb__: sounds like some deep issues. that may be hard to trouble shoot if both usb mouse and keyboard are hanging. (chedk dmesg output for starters i guess), and as a test. Try some linux live cd's and see if it also affects them. If it has the same issue on several different live cd's that would point to a hardware issue. === zz_monteith is now known as monteith [17:34] seb__: if it only affects the current install. that would point to some driver/kernel issue [17:34] seb__: btw, you in a virtualbox? [17:34] Night all. [17:35] Hi their I am running 32 bit kernel on intel x86 processor, I want a 64 bit version for it. But when click download option for 64 bit one it shows image for amd processor? How to get 64 bit image which runs on intel processor? [17:35] Mkools: they all do.. [17:35] almoxarife: logitech usb - worked fine the months. no vm. i guess its the X server. i have 3 screens [17:35] Mkools: that's just how they're named, amd64 is just the 64bit version [17:35] seb__: as a text.. move/rename the xorg.conf thats doing the 3 screens and try no xorg.conf let it auto-detect everything [17:35] does the ubuntu apache-2.12-unbuntu package fix the latest flow in mod_isapi: http://www.senseofsecurity.com.au/advisories/SOS-10-002 [17:36] s/flow/flaw [17:36] ...any easy way to start a program from the top panel "maximized"? [17:36] seb__: you installed experimental xorg? [17:36] seb__: oops.. i meant as a 'test' :) try it without a xorg.conf [17:36] Mkools: x86 64 bits extensions arefered as amd64 becouse it was amd who designed it and they deserve to name them [17:36] Dr_Willis: That means I can use it? [17:36] Urda: compiz has settings to auto-max , move or resize specific progrms when they start [17:36] Mkools: intel is amd64 compatible so the amd64 iso would work on a 64 bit intel system [17:36] Ok thanks a lot. [17:37] people get so strung out about the name amd64 :) [17:37] Urda: If you maximize it and then cloes the problem, it may start as maximized next time, but that depends on the particular program and the way it is configured to run. [17:37] i bet it gets intel annoyed also [17:37] Urda: program not problem sorry... typo [17:38] Is their any option so that I can upgrade 32 bit kernel to 64 bit one? [17:38] Mkools: not without reinstalling, nope [17:38] Mkools: clean reinstall [17:38] Mkools: I think you will need to re-install [17:38] usr13: not big. I'll check it out [17:39] j #ubuntu-uk [17:39] no big* [17:39] how do i add songs to my ipod using ryhthmbox, i enabled the plug in but i have no idea where to go from there [17:39] Is there a way to monitor TCP and UDP connections in Karmic?

[17:41] h00k, i guess i mixed up iPhone and iPod, then [17:42] zoug: compiz as a 'vblank/vsync' or somthing setting in the CCSM tool that helps that a lot [17:42] almoxarife: you got me an idea. i added launchpad to my sources list couple of weeks ago [17:43] Kudi: I still haven't figured that out in RB, I use amarok (because = it just works) [17:43] Dr_Willis: hmm, never heard that. let me try [17:43] Kudi: if your iPod is supported, it will show up on the left sideof Rhythmbox when it's plugged in [17:43] geeksquid: they need to address that issue [17:44] Kudi: Then you can click/drag music from your library to the device [17:44] Kudi: I believe Lucid is on track to address that [17:44] Kudi: if it doesn't show up, you either have an unsupported iPod, or the plugin isn't enabled [17:44] h00k: i dont even see the left panel anymore, i remember that in the old version tho [17:44] Kudi: you don'tsee the left panel in Rhythmbox?

When I activate the TV I can't see the whole picture (missing on top and on sides). Im guessing it is the wrong resolution but I'm not capable to change it. It sais "prefered" resulotion on the display is 1280*720, but the display is 1024*768. Is it possible to change this? [18:04] i have 1 proliant server (8core/10gb). does it make sense to install ubuntu enterprise cloud on it, when wanting to virtualize machines? [18:04] <[-Haza-]> usr13: Okay i have some output but im afraid i cannot pastebin now. Since my FF crashed (i guess due to my OS being a little broken) [18:05] any idea why my external Hd isn't auto-mounting - I've unplugged + plugged it back in... [18:05] <[-Haza-]> and i cannot reopen FF [18:05] <[-Haza-]> I know its a pain but can i PM you these 10 lines? [18:05] [-Haza-]: you should be doing all this dignosys from a livecd to avoid further damage .... [18:05] i can see it on the log file [18:05] any help? [18:06] [-Haza-]: Does it appear that you are experiencing a HD failure? [18:06] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: Okay. i was afraid to shutdown since i had trouble mounting the OS using the live CD last time :s [18:06] I have a quick question... should my Linksys WUSB65GC work out-of-the-box? [18:06] *54GC [18:06] any help? [18:06] how should i mount it? [18:06] <[-Haza-]> usr13: I think so if i try to LS some dir's i get I/O errors [18:06] it's in /dev/sdc or something i think [18:07] gui7: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l [18:07] ASULutzy, sudo fdisk -l recognized the disk + all partitions as normal [18:07] gui7: devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdc1 [18:07] gui7: I was more asking because in order to mount it you'll need to know which partition it is you want to mount [18:08] ASULutzy, according to fdisk, it's /dev/sdc1 [18:09] qetuR: the panasonic's have a function to change the aspect ratio... Should be on the remote, if not it will be in the menus of the tv [18:09] So, if you wanted to mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/stuff, you could do sudo mkdir /media/stuff && sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/stuff [18:10] ASULutzy, wheni try and mount it it gives me this output: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mntpoint --->> mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist [18:11] <[-Haza-]> usr13: erUSUL: So you think it would be a good idea to shutdown and boot from the live CD? Go from there? I'll need to remount my OS and if i understand correctly its a little more complex if my OS is on a raid array? [18:12] [-Haza-]: what type of raid is it? [18:12] <[-Haza-]> Striped [18:12] <[-Haza-]> 2 320gb HDs [18:12] <[-Haza-]> 2x [18:13] GeekSquid: thats not it, i cant change so i can see the whole screen [18:13] [-Haza-]: linux raid? bios fakeraid ? [18:13] im having a very weird issue [18:14] not sure if its just this program [18:14] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: Oh, Bios raid. Sorry im not very tech savvy :) [18:14] why doesnt ubuntu auto-mount my external hd? [18:14] but i am unable to untar things [18:14] anyone here use dropbox? [18:15] i have intex tv card but not able get worked http://pastebin.ca/1828646 [18:15] I use dropbox [18:15] alredy try 154 and 158 card [18:15] hello, new user here; windows vista machine, windows on sdb/hd0 drive, and ubuntu on sba drive; all installed ok with unetbin (spelling), but 'nothing' is available to load on my architecture, can I just upgrade this online now to ubuntu studio? :) [18:15] [-Haza-]: you can mount it from the livecd (you have to install dmraid and run a few commands iirc) [18:15] [-Haza-]: given the raid comes up and all [18:15] qetuR: other option is use VLC, it isn't perfect, however it will allow you to adjust the aspect ratio with software ... also what video card do you have? [18:16] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: I think it does as i saw it when i installed gparted [18:16] Is initramfs mandatory as part of booting up Ubuntu 9.04-based systems ? [18:16] thank you erUSUL, i'll look into doing that [18:16] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: Im going to boot from then live cd now. Okay? [18:16] is this all logged?i'll copy/paste to noteditor [18:16] GeekSquid: im not watching movies, im playing games. And I really want to see the whole screen. All of my friends who plug their TV into HDMI will get this scaling problem. [18:17] What the date for new ubuntu?! [18:17] GeekSquid: I have Nvidia [18:17] qetuR: and are you using nvidia-settings? [18:17] mine? 9.10 [18:17] 9.10 386 [18:18] yes, i upgraded the nvidia settings, which is good i have an amd nvidia motherboard [18:18] GeekSquid: ye! [18:18] If I installed gnome with "acpi=off" how can I fix the hardware functionality? Currently none of the function keys work, and the mouse often disappears [18:18] Is initramfs mandatory as part of booting up Ubuntu 9.04-based systems ? [18:18] same problem [18:19] can't install nvidia driver on nvidia nforce 5200 [18:19] rautamiekka: yes; you need it at least for uuid's [18:19] the orogonal driver not installable [18:19] Thank you, erUSUL === Claws is now known as Guest18646 [18:19] and nvidia-glx - does not work [18:20] lenz: one of my friends realized that the older nVidia drivers for Linux are blocked from working and the new ones don't work at all. [18:20] Ubuntu wouldn't install at all unless I forced Grub to add "acpi=off" but now we can't even adjust screen brightness levels [18:20] so, I can mount ubuntu studio from livecd? and run it yes, but how to have that replace my existing new 386 ubuntu 9.10? [18:20] qetuR: unfortunately, tv's and computers don't talk very well, what you need to do it really well is use a scaler ... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_scaler , they are a little expensive [18:21] rautamiekka, so it is some soluthion? [18:23] newbie here, is it possible to get a private window with someone who knows installation with ubuntu? [18:23] any knowledge in here regarding "acpi=off" ? [18:24] cboyer1951: what's up? [18:25] i get an error while mounting a partition on an external hd: mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist [18:25] iggimin: acpi is pretty much hardware buttons and similar, so with no acpi, you won't get that interaction I'm afraid.. [18:26] iggimin, it does make sense that screen brightness (a power management feature) wouldn't work with ACPI disabled - if you're unclear what ACPI is see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface [18:27] Thanks guys - Ubuntu 9.10 would not install on the Toshiba laptop unless I had acpi=off - do you think there's a way to install on the thing without disabling acpi? [18:28] Is it possible to make the menu on the left and the right [18:28] every time I loaded from the CD it displayed a LINUXVIDEO error and wouldn't go anywhere unless I set acpi=off [18:28] as its left in 10.04 [18:28] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/ [18:28] but both? [18:28] is anyone else having issues with flash ... doesnt always allow me to click on stuff ... any ideas? [18:28] Is there possibly a different distro that might work better with that particular hardware? [18:29] iggimin, bios update? === shai_ is now known as shai [18:30] Lord-Readman, that's worth a try. I will look into it. The bummer is I recommended to a grandma this new Toshiba (her old Toshiba worked fine) but it won't take [18:30] :( [18:30] I will check the BIOS update and return [18:30] Thanks! [18:31] iggimin, for one of my toshiba laptops there was an update for XP and update for vista, i put the highest version number on [18:31] and it made ubuntu work with it much better [18:32] donavan01, for fix see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working [18:33] thanks zykotick9 [18:34] Is it necessary to compile Profiling Support at all ?

[18:36] <[-Haza-]> So i rebooted and was thrown into a maintainence console (after trying to mount the OS and failing). I was told to run fsck so i did. And fixed a bunch of problems (Pressing Y when prompted) [18:36] Does anyone notice difference if they add 2 gig of ram from 1 gig with linux??? [18:36] <[-Haza-]> And im back ijn the system with access to stuff (for now) [18:36] DebiansArmy: sure. [18:36] [-Haza-]: i'm back too [18:37] <[-Haza-]> Im going to take this opportunity to backup my stuff. afterwards i want to determine if the HDs are failing [18:37] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: How might i go about that? [18:37] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: And welcome back :) [18:37] DebiansArmy: I haven't specifically tested but I dare to say it will be useful [18:37] great does updating video card help in linux?? [18:37] hi, anyone in here know about NIC bonding in ubuntu? Specifically whether you can bond accross two networks with different ip ranges? [18:38] [-Haza-]: backup ? another hd (external or internal) is the best option [18:38] Haegin: That's not how bonding works. [18:38] Haegin: ^ [18:38] Is it necessary to compile Profiling Support at all ? I can choose between DO NOT COMPILE, COMPILE AS MODULE, COMPILE DIRECTLY INTO KERNEL. It is an experimental feature. I went to read about OProfile but I dunno if it's necessary to compile even the Profiling Support since the whole point of Profiling is only useful to determine system performance. [18:38] <[-Haza-]> erUSUL: Yeah i have an external HD for back up that i can now access after that fsck i did [18:38] getting a gt 240 1gb ram gddr5 does this also make the system faster...???

I want to just use rhythmbox but when i move music over to the ipod the ipod menu never shows any of the music once I disconnect??

[18:39] <[-Haza-]> psilo2: I see. And i guess i can tell if the drive is smart enabled by running the tool? :) [18:39] KB1JWQ: and now I'm trying to get my bonding working again accross both networks [18:40] [-Haza-]: right [18:40] iggimin, didnt try it because no linux worked [18:40] I put the latest bios on and then it installed fine [18:40] <[-Haza-]> psilo2: Okay. Thank you [18:40] Haegin: bonding makes a single card out of two. a single card can only be on a network [18:40] erUSUL: ah ok, fair enough [18:41] Does mdadm routinely check the raid?

[18:42] i be very confused [18:42] Lord-Readman, also, you mentioned Vista and XP - this new box has Windows 7 - would you say I need to go into Win7 and update the BIOS from there?

[19:27] I've been having endless trouble getting a microphone to work (old school, "line in" type, not USB) since 8.04, and it seems with every update the steps requires to fix that change. Rather than pitching a fit about it, I figured I'd ask the guys in the know: is that a gnome thing? Would switching to Kubuntu make it more straightforward? [19:28] Aeronius: oh... I was taking in a different way ok... lose lips sink ships... lol [19:28] Bummer. Appears that nobody on the entire internet has a clue where Rhythmbox puts its playlists these days.

[19:29] Aeronius: good luck [19:29] KB1JWQ: Guess not then. I did try that, but I wasn't sure if the underlying PA stuff was still because I was using the mainline instead of a clean Kubuntu install. [19:29] is there anyone that can help me with my problem [19:30] geminidomino: COuld try with a livecd too. [19:30] Guest9094: ask the question please ... we are not mind readers... and will get stuck with other conversations... [19:30] KB1JWQ: That's a thought.

You could use Nautilus to "connect to server" [20:00] jaypur: use the "Connect to Server" dialog in the Places menu to connect to your server via ssh, and add it as a bookmark. that will allow you to browse the servers files through your client's nautilus windows.

[20:48] I have read the with virtual machine it is not possible to use USB drive... pendrive... [20:48] jmary: let me try again [20:48] Zhenya, you have two kinds of programs : the scripts and the binaries. [20:48] raul_, certain virtual machines don't use usb... vmware does [20:48] hey everybody: sorry to ask here, but i can't talk in #xbmc for some odd reason... i'm running ubuntu and i'm wondering how to kill xbmc at the command line? killall xbmc doesn't work. [20:48] jmary: i am referring to a binary. [20:48] raul_: virtualbox non-ose does too [20:48] tim: I think we agreed to boot from the live CD? [20:48] !register > bjj_blue [20:48] bjj_blue, please see my private message [20:48] Zhenya, For the scripts it is easy you open it in your text editor and you see what it is doing. [20:49] hi, I have file sharing turned on. but it only share files which have permission 755. when ever I put new files into the shared folder it is not visible on my other pc. I have to change it manually to 755. is there a way to change the permission automatically to 755 whenever I copy/create files in this folder? [20:49] Zhenya, for a binary you must use strace. [20:49] im try to output to my tv and have followed many of the steps i have found in forums but i can only force static to my tv [20:49] hey guys! What do you think of this: sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [20:49] which one is much better? virtualbox or vmware? [20:49] open source image manager with face detection? [20:49] bjj_blue, you run ps aux | grep xbmc then find the PID and use sudo kill -9 PID# [20:49] !vbox [20:49] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [20:49] Zhenya, but what you will see is not ommand lines". [20:49] ginbuntu: set your umask to 022 [20:49] jmary: I'm pretty new at this. I accidenty hit a shortcut and konsole came up attached to the binary window. I think it was showing me the commands it was sending to and from the OS [20:49] hello [20:49] cernenus, what card? [20:49] Out_Cold: thanks! [20:50] jmary: ok. I must be mistaken. thank you [20:50] Out_Cold: or directly « pkill xbmc » :) [20:50] im using vuze but im unable to get higher download speeds (I get only about 40kB/s) over torrents while technically I get at least 128kB/s over other downloads... [20:50] join #sane [20:50] mari: hello; wellcome [20:50] are there any settings i need to change to get it working fine? [20:50] datacrusher, I don't want to do that. I only want it to be 755 in ~/public not every files I create [20:50] erUSUL, never knew about that... always 1000 solutions to one problem ;) [20:51] ATI Radeon Xpress 200M [20:51] wrapster, maybe your ISP has limited the bandwidth per protocol. [20:51] cernenus, and when you connect the s-vid you run xrandr? [20:52] yes, but it always says disconnected [20:52] jmary: no i dont think so.. coz i see that there it goes more than 40 sometimes.. but only for a brief moment.. but averages out at 40 only... [20:52] cernenus, are all your pins straight? can you double check that none are bent? [20:52] so i presume that it might be some config.. [20:52] What a pity, I tried to download the source code for the good old game "xkobo" and tried to compile it, not even close to be compilable [20:53] they are , just bought cord yesterday [20:54] Getting a constant stream of these in /var/log/messages, which I think is why xsane can't probe for scanner. Have unplugged all USB devices and still getting them; Mar 9 09:51:22 alexslaptop kernel: [ 6440.340195] usb 7-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 53 [20:54] any suggestions? [20:54] cernenus, ubuntu should auto detect, but ATI is a bugger of a card... maybe check dmseg to see if it sees the connection [20:54] wrapster, my connection is limited to 2Mb/s but I have some pics to 3.5 during 2 or 3 seconds sometimes. [20:54] !info kobodeluxe | anli_ [20:54] omg how do i fix it [20:54] anli_: kobodeluxe (source: kobodeluxe): game of space battle. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-4ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 233 kB, installed size 632 kB [20:54] **dmesg [20:55] somebody tell me [20:55] is there a usb to parallel adapter for ubuntu [20:55] aha! [20:55] nice [20:55] thx [20:55] jmary: didnt understand... [20:56] best excuse ever for work... "I can't do anything else until I'm done compiling" [20:56] command not found [20:56] cernenus, it's dmesg.. [20:57] wrapster what i mean is that you can get some download rates higher than the limit for few seconds. It happens. === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [20:57] wrapster, by the way, I assume you are not silly and you haven't limited your bandwidth by yourself. [20:58] jmary: but the limit is not higer.. is what im trying to say.. coz i get pretty good rates over http downloads. far far better than while im using torrents... [20:58] jmary: and no, I think i know my networks well enough ... ;) [20:58] wrapster, it happens sometimes that the problem is between the chair and the keyboard, at least i've seen that with my clients. [20:58] hello [20:58] i am trying to install fakeroot package or make it [20:58] only i am getting an error [20:58] Question: How do I disable the user password prompt from coming up (when installing something, for example)? [20:58] it complains about changelog not being found [20:59] wrapster, i understood that and i told you that your ISP can limit the speed for P2P protocols and leave full speed for http. [20:59] jmary: ive heard that bridging will actually help increase the speed.. But ive never done it.. do you happen to anything on this regard [20:59] jeez what am i looking for? [20:59] Desciero: you should not - thats one of the things that make linux less destroyable that other OSes [20:59] wrapster, sorry no. [20:59] jmary: hmm.. ok [21:00] OK, easier question? With grub2 what's the easiest way to configure it to just boot the previous kernel again? [21:00] Help!!!!! my ubuntu on my laptop has screwed up it says :Mount of file system failed. A maintence shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try. [21:00] guntbert: What's the harm if I'm the only one using my computer at home? [21:00] I suspect this problem may be related to a recent update.. [21:00] Help!!!!! my ubuntu on my laptop has screwed up it says :Mount of file system failed. A maintence shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try. [21:00] guntbert: And Vista really turned me off by doing the same exact thing at every turn. [21:00] why does this fail, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot :/ ? [21:00] Desciero- Even on Windows (Vista+), UAC helped me catch some unauthorized autoruns from USB drives. [21:00] cernenus, the last few lines might say something about a video connection... [21:00] tim, don't repeat what you said. [21:01] well help!!!! me!!! [21:01] tim, wait for a while, your system is checking itself. [21:01] hi === march is now known as Guest60408 [21:01] no worry [21:01] hi everyone [21:01] Of course, Windows 7 offers better UAC management, but that's besides the point. [21:01] Desciero the harm is if a harmfull script makes its way onto the machine it has administritive rights [21:01] how can i check if a certain string is found in a file, where the syntax is VAR,VAR ? [21:01] Someone can help me setting FTP-Server with SSL/TLS on 8.04ppc [21:01] Desciero: remote apps in web browsers - for instance - as it is such a malicious app cannot do much harm - with root permission it could destroy the system [21:01] using Unix terminal commands, ppreferrably [21:01] dude666, grep something... [21:01] I'm trying to install python-libmimic for emesene's webcam support but I am getting this error: Package python-libmimic is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:02] tim: type fsck --help [21:02] jaunty* [21:02] Hello. Please help me: What do you press (keys) when Ubuntu gets frozen? I usually press Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows when something gets blocked !! [21:02] Ctrl + Alt + F7 [21:02] Sometimes my Ubuntu desktop gets freezes [21:02] Out_Cold: yeah but when i try grep &user,&pass it doesnt work [21:02] Wait... was it? [21:02] guntbert: So there is no way to disable it then? [21:02] guntbert: or is it just not recommended? [21:02] Ctrl + Alt + F7 [21:03] dude666, grep is what you want to use, but you are probably misusing the syntax [21:03] How can I add udp and tcp settings to my firewall? [21:03] Out_Cold: i want it to run in a C program === mb is now known as Guest57605 [21:03] Out_Cold, i can't find how to do variable,variable [21:03] dude666, i don't know much about C but maybe check in ##linux [21:03] Desciero, if you want to do 'stupid' things with linux that's always possible, but generally we won't help you. You need to change your mindeset and stop trying to make Linux work like WindowsXP [21:03] Desciero no there isnt, to install a package you will generally be writing to a folder with root ownership, there are ways around that but you really dont want to change the ownerships of wholesale root folders [21:03] Desciero: no - its not mereley "not recommended" - its a strong nono - please take the advice of koshari and me - don't disable it [21:04] Desciero- You get used to it after a while. I was a Windows user too. :D [21:04] Desciero, or just go back to WindowsXP if that's what you really want. [21:04] ah ok [21:04] KaOSoFt, passwords are your friends.... [21:04] Just trying to learn is all [21:04] sorry... Desciero [21:04] Desciero, do you really need to install something that often [21:05] i usually install multiple softwares at once [21:05] Ctrl + Alt + F7 doesn work, I don't know why...I don \'t manage to close this application [21:05] Desciero tip, if you use synaptic to install your packages you ONLY need to enter the password once when starting synaptic and then you can install all the packages you want without needing to enter the password again. [21:05] Does it only happen when installing something? Seems to come up a lot [21:05] cobalt_, i manage about 8 ubuntu boxes and am constantly installing [21:05] is there an irssi command to get rid of all the join and leave messages? [21:05] installing or changing global configurations [21:05] koshari: thanks that's helpful [21:05] Desciero- When something should require "administrator" priviledges. [21:05] gotcha [21:05] not in the last few line but lists 3 vid devices [21:05] Desciero it will happen EVERYTIME you need to shange a file/folder with root ownership, [21:06] one connected [21:06] Desciero: it comes every time you do something that could potentially harm the system as a whole if you are not careful [21:06] Desciero, sometimes working in terminal helps, if it can be done so [21:06] Aeronius: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [21:06] Desciero, generally you just install all the software you want in one go (you can do that, unlike windows where you have to isntall one thing at a time) and once everything is installed go back to being a nice safe 'user' .. you should be able to do all your normal 'user' stuff without ever needing sudo [21:06] djchacon: hit the power reset button and start over. [21:06] cool, how do I retoggle it when I'm ready to? [21:06] I see [21:06] is that the only way to unblock it? :-( [21:06] djchacon sudo apt-get install x11utils to get xkill [21:06] cernenus, unplug then plug in again and then check dmesg again [21:06] Aeronius: /help ignore [21:07] llutz: thanks from my behalf too :) [21:07] xkill very handy! [21:07] Desciero, if it comes up too often you might be trying to do something the wrong way [21:07] cernenus, if dmesg doesn't see it, then it quite possibly is not working in any sort [21:07] andybiker: Thanks but I don't even manage to move out of this window [21:07] Desciero you have to remember that *nix systems were designed from the ground up as multiuser systems, and its not preferable for all account holders o have administrative permissions, [21:07] like storing user files in root owned folders [21:07] Other than that, what's the advantages of using the synaptic installer [21:07] if you can opena terminal... [21:07] what else there is? [21:07] Yeah, exactly. [21:08] llutz: thank you! [21:08] Desciero, compared to what [21:08] Desciero, you can search and install anything you want and it's all listed [21:08] !apt [21:08] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [21:08] Desciero: its intuitive, gui based and will automatically meed any dependedcys a package may have [21:08] apt may be faster with multiple actions [21:08] ANDYBIKER: I'll turn it off, then I'come back again and see again the line you said...See you in 3 minutes. [21:08] djchacon: if you're locked up cold and the keyboard method isn't working, yep, power off/reset is it. [21:08] where you dont have to wait after each " turn" for gui to reload [21:08] and refresh latest configuration [21:08] I see.. [21:08] llutz: the help command isn't working [21:09] Who would like to test video chat with me using Empathy? [21:09] the other installer I was using separated into graphical categories like games, internet etc... [21:09] hmm [21:09] Aeronius: then your irssi is broken [21:09] Desciero, package management is GOOD, you should only ever install software that way (apt-get, add/remove, synaptic are all back-ends for the same system) -- packages are checked and signed so no malware, and when you update it will update all your software at the same time [21:09] bullgard: thats off topic here [21:09] software center? [21:09] (i dont know exactly, my ubuntu is localised) [21:09] I mostly use apt-get, but if for some reason I have the Synaptic window open, I use that instead. [21:09] colbalt_: I believe so [21:10] Desciero, the software centre thing is a reduced version of synaptic.. it works the same way but less packages are listed there [21:10] i think its just fancier frontend [21:10] for beginners [21:10] kpackagekit in kubuntu is hard work if you have a low powered machine! [21:10] Yep. [21:10] zcat[1]: I see [21:10] with more tips and helps [21:10] Software Center is more Windows-like [21:10] where synaptic is more straightforwars [21:10] yeah [21:10] hello [21:10] probably why I was drawn to it more [21:10] hi === root is now known as Guest46085 [21:11] but I noticed the synaptic too [21:11] root are you logged in as root? [21:11] Hello Andybiker. Iḿ back [21:11] Oh, I'm also having trouble getting to my root [21:11] guntbert: It is not. I am using an Ubuntu program and would like to test it. The name of this channel is #ubuntu. [21:11] Please give me again the line [21:11] actually i havent ried the software center yet [21:11] :D [21:11] sudo apt-get install x11-utils [21:11] it says I'm not in root when I try to reboot and such [21:11] !root | Desciero [21:11] Desciero: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:11] Software Centre tries to only list 'applications', synaptic lists packages which included back end libraries, packages that contain datafiles or themes for other programs etc === Guest46085 is now known as Eduardo2 [21:11] thats weird [21:11] what is it for? [21:11] cobalt_: he probably is - thats why he is gone already :) [21:12] gone? [21:12] By the way, if for some reason I forget my password, is there a way to reset it, much like Windows' SAM file? [21:12] It'll give you some bits and pieces like xkill, ideal for stopping a frozen app [21:12] ok [21:12] bullgard: this channel is for ubuntu support - not for genera ubuntu related things - but there is #ubuntu-offtopic [21:12] Getting a constant stream of these in /var/log/messages, which I think is why xsane can't probe for scanner. Have unplugged all USB devices and still getting them; Mar 9 09:51:22 alexslaptop kernel: [ 6440.340195] usb 7-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 53 [21:12] and how can I use it when I need it? [21:12] hey. why is there a cutoff of letters when using grep in this command? $ (aptitude search libgraphviz-perl) && (aptitude search libgraphviz-perl | fgrep perl) [21:12] koshari: thanks === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [21:12] btw what parameter makes terminal app pause when it fulls the screen [21:12] KaOSoFt chroot [21:12] just make sure you use it on the same desktop! [21:13] :) [21:13] Hello all [21:13] e.g. if i do ps -e the process list dosnt fit in one terminal [21:13] salty-horse: because aptitude by default tries to fit its output to your terminal window [21:13] it like it to pause at end of screen [21:13] and continue output after keypress [21:13] cobalt_: try ps -e | less [21:13] | less [21:13] does this work for all apps? [21:13] guntbert: I am looking for Ubuntu support. I am not looking for general Ubuntu related things. [21:13] Sorry, I don't understand. Is it something I have to run manually or is it already running and will run forever automatically? [21:14] brjann, and when the output isn't a tty it defaults to 80? [21:14] (I already installed as you said) [21:14] cobalt_: yes - on the command line [21:14] KaOSoFt: You can always log in to a recovery console which will give you a root shell from which you can do whatever you want. A better idea would be to not forget your password ;) [21:14] what is udev? [21:14] i have a ton of them running [21:15] could fill two full screens [21:15] You run it when you need it and it will stop when you click on an application window, just don't click on the panel or the desktop by accident! [21:15] salty-horse: i'm not sure what it defaults to, but that seems reasonable [21:15] open source image manager with face detection? [21:15] brjann, ok. thanks for the answer! [21:15] ASULutzy- Do you mean I simply use the recover console, and then "passwd"? [21:15] bullgard: asking people for connections outside of this channel is not ok here [21:15] janisozaur, there was a summer of code project for f-spot [21:16] salty-horse: sure thing. see the -F option in the aptitude man page for specifying custom output formats, and perhaps --disable-columns [21:16] but how do I start it? [21:16] hi [21:16] janisozaur, http://www.pittle.org/weblog/f-spot-face-detection-2_433.html [21:16] KaOSoFt: Yes. So when your grub menu comes up when you boot in, choose recovery console and then the passwd command will allow you to change any user's password. [21:17] Is recovery console available for everyone? I mean... isn't that even more dangerous that having to use an external tool for Windows in order to reset its SAM file...? [21:17] guntbert: Yes it is if it is Ubuntu support. [21:17] !grub2 [21:17] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:18] KaOSoFt: typically, if a user has physical access to your machine, it's more or less assumed that there's a way to root it [21:18] KaOSoFt: barring things like encrypted filesystems, etc [21:18] salty-horse: does it work by now? [21:18] I understand. After all, my computer is not a server, so it's not located in a remote (subterranean) data center or anything like that. [21:18] whenever I try to install python-libmimic I get this error: Package python-libmimic is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:18] KaOSoFt: You're looking at it wrong. If you don't want someone with physical access to your machine to have access to it, you should look into encrypted file systems, and BIOS passwords etc [21:18] janisozaur, don't think so [21:20] Where can I learn more about these encrypted file-systems? I remember installing something like that for Ubuntu, which now gets the "Encryp" option by right-clicking a file or folder, but I don't even remember its name. [21:20] how can i send files to messenger users using empathy [21:20] sudo nice -20 ./program.... is it ok??? [21:20] "Encrypt"* [21:20] jaypur: only if you want that program to run as root and have priority over most everything else in the system === goose is now known as goose[ME] [21:21] KaOSoFt, Not including the option for user's with physical access to the machine to get to single user mode would just give a false sense of security. [21:21] brjann, :) [21:21] anyone know how to get flash to stop flickering in and out is firefox 3.5.8 [21:21] how can i send files to msn users using empathy [21:21] KaOSoFt you can restrict grub, but there is still a hole given you can boot from usb/optical media, so you would have to bios protect booting from these, but then again a bios reset would make them avaialble, moral of story, there is no such thing as total security when someone has physical acces sot machine, in windows or linux [21:22] salty-horse: are there perhaps any open source libraries that implement face detection? === yusuf is now known as raiden [21:22] Hi. I was trying to install the latest VLC from Lucid in Karmic but stopped when I realized I needed to upgrade libc6. Now I have unmet dependencies because I installed the following packages with dpkg: libfribidi0_0.19.2-1_i386.deb and libqtcore4_4.6.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb. How can I remove them leaving the version that was in place before I f***ed up? Thanks. [21:22] janisozaur: opencv is one [21:22] KaOSoFt: The last time I looked into it, it was more common to keep /home on a separate partition and then just encrypt that. This has the effect of encrypting all of the user's documents without encrypting the entire filesystem. I believe dmcrypt is a package you'd want to look into [21:22] janisozaur, opencv has tools for that [21:22] brjann, :) [21:22] brjann, salty-horse: thanks [21:23] salty-horse: i am too quick for you! :) [21:23] KaOSoFt which is why in entiprise all password authentication and account details are kept on a server [21:23] gasull: for latest vlc in karmic and other software try 'getdeb' [21:23] @google getdeb [21:23] KaOSoFt: If it is a laptop, and you're worried about theft, it makes the most sense to encrypt /home, that way if your laptop is stolen, the thief won't be able to access things like saved browser passwords, and what not [21:23] janisozaur, http://github.com/mcroydon/opencv_playground/blob/master/facedetect.py [21:23] anyone know how to get flash to stop flickering in and out is firefox 3.5.8 [21:23] koshari, ASULutzy, brjann, Jordan_U: thank you all. [21:23] :) === dad is now known as Guest92607 [21:24] KaOSoFt Is it an application your looking for? I use KGPG or Truecrypt to encrypt files\drives. [21:25] I once heard about TrueCrypt, but it was on Windows. [21:25] I'll have to look into all those anyways. [21:26] I stopped an aptitude install with ctrl z and would like to remove what started but it says dpkg is aleady locked [21:26] how can i fix [21:26] type fg [21:26] hey people - im dd'ing my install of ubuntu onto a larger drive (and then expanding the partiton) should i expect any problems? [21:26] How do I remove group/global write from a directory? [21:26] me? [21:26] (other than grub) [21:26] ep Guest92607 [21:26] yep* [21:27] thx [21:27] KaOSoFt Truecrypt is available on Linux too and you can make basically an encrypted file. And when you open it, it will appear as a hard drive on your computer. Then you can close it and move the file wherever you want. [21:27] Is it possible to bridge eth0 and eth1 ? [21:27] og01: Seems not, but backup :) [21:27] KaOSoFt Basically like a zip file. [21:27] UpgradingUser- Oh, so that means I could even carry it in a, let's say, external hard drive. [21:27] benpro: i'll still have the origional drive [21:27] xangua: thanks, but I guess that I should fix first what I f***ed up. [21:27] KaOSoFt Yes [21:27] Interesting. [21:28] KaOSoFt And it also encrypts whoe lrives. [21:28] Drives* [21:28] whole* [21:28] benpro: what about UUIDs (or whatever their called) for mount points in mtab? [21:28] og01: Dont understand, You would isntall ubuntu on a partition, then resize (expand) ? [21:28] benpro, what does fg mean? [21:29] benpro what does fg mean?

[21:29] hi can someone help me to get sound in amsn plz [21:29] og01: use dd top copy, then expand, yes, it could works perfectly [21:30] benpro: ok, i knew that ubuntu used UUIDS (?) in certain places and thought it might break things [21:31] How do i make a cron, or something to 1.) See if something is running and 2.) If its not running, starts the process up? [21:31] og01: just boot in rescue mode or live cd, than change your /etc/fstb witch new uuid, and all is done [21:31] fstab* [21:31] og01: You should check /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure that it isn't using uuid's as identifiers, and then also what benpro said about /etc/fstab [21:32] Moreover yes, forgotten about grub [21:32] ASULutzy: didnt know grub *could* use uuid's [21:32] but with grub2 this is not here [21:32] ASULutzy: thanks [21:32] I guess if UUID wil be re-generated at expandig ... [21:32] Going to sleep \o/, bye =) [21:34] barckl3y: night [21:34] I'm trying to find a reliable way of making a service pack disk. Like download all current updates for a certain release such as my 9.04 that I have installed. Ive tried booting the live CD and starting synaptic, refresh the package list and mark all upgrades and then generate the download script and then go back to the HDD install and download them all and burn it. Only problem is that some packages are always missing that way. This req [21:35] It would be like a 9.04-10.03 service pack disk. === UpgradingUser is now known as WinterSky [21:35] Can I make arbitrary key mappings?

[22:01] im not seeing them in dmesg [22:01] or messages [22:01] macman_: yes, when you're in the man viewer, typing /foo will search for the next occurrence of "foo." after that, / by itself will find the next one, and so on [22:01] macman_: if you need to search backward, use ?foo instead [22:01] Hello. After a kernel (I think) update, when ever i try to view a video on youtube is say "No flash? Go get it!) in a rather weird way.. Is this normal? [22:01] theZagnut, arch0njw- Like I said, I just wanted a personal reference, not like I wouldn't look on a search engine anyways...

Can you verify that it is in fact running on your new port? [22:04] ASULutzy, restarted the whole server, how could i restart only the app? [22:04] trijntje, yea. its all good thanks anyway [22:05] jaypur1: That's fine. Well, check the output of netstat -tan that should let you see what ports are awaiting connections [22:05] jaypur1- "sudo /etc/init.d/sshwhatever restart", I think.

[22:06] mespejel, its a Long Term Support [22:06] I thought the *.04 versions were the long maintained. [22:06] I can't wait for Ubuntu 10.04.

[22:07] trijntje: LTS [22:07] ASULutzy, 0.0.0.0:1010 thats the port... estado OUÇA in pt-br that should be listen... [22:07] !Lucid [22:07] 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 === Friction[1] is now known as Friction[2] [22:07] is it true there isn't a 64 bit version of flash 10? [22:07] Does anyone know a site which labels the differences from 9.10->10.04? [22:08] hey guys... BackTrack 4 is coooolllll [22:08] trijntje: thank you.. are thare many upgrades? should i upgrade it? [22:08] WinterSky- I think there is a wiki or something like that, on Ubuntu... [22:08] WierdAAR: There is a beta version released by Adobe. But I haven't had good luck with it. [22:08] Hmm... I think, but don't remember the URL right now. [22:08] GarmaZed, Any ideas on what to do then? [22:09] WierdAAR: honestly, all that I've tried hasn't worked with 64 bit. [22:09] sinistrad, hmm ok [22:09] mespejel, I wouldn't know, it depends on what you want/need. Upgrading should be easy once it is released, but things can alway's go wrong [22:09] GarmaZed, So no flash for 64-bit ? [22:09] WierdAAR: but what success I did have in 64-bit Linux/Ubuntu (I'm not great at it), has been with what comes in Linux Mint [22:10] trijntje: what you mean? why wrong? should i install all by scratch [22:10] WierdAAR: it worked occassionally, but more often not. [22:10] trijntje: you dont recommend just to upgrade? [22:10] GarmaZed, That kinda sucks [22:11] WierdAAR: meh, I just realized that everything I want works in 32 bit and figured, the extra <1GB of RAM wasn't worth it. [22:12] mespejel- I would never recommend to upgrade a whole installation. To me, that should be a clean, new installation. [22:12] GarmaZed, But if your stuck with an amd64 processor thats not really an option is it? === Blackcamaro8 is now known as [V13]Axel [22:12] For instance, the latest Linux kernel Ubuntu installed doesn't work for me. [22:13] WierdAAR: nope, I bet the AMD64 processor works just as well with 32-bit. I'd be shocked if it didn't support 32-bit, I don't know of one that doesn't. [22:13] It screws up with my booting, and it will not load the X server. [22:13] ubuntu 64 problem is: there are too much applications that are not available in 64 bit, so you have to install ia32.libs to use 32 bit apps. ubuntu amd64 works not only on 64 bit amd system but also on 64 bit intel systems. [22:13] WierdAAR, you can install 32bit Ubuntu on an AMD64 processor [22:13] I have to use the .19 version. [22:14] tontos [22:14] I thought 64-bit distributions were named x86_64 precisely to avoid confusion as to what CPU brand to use. [22:14] hola [22:14] GarmaZed, Well... Then I feel quite stupid for sticking with 64 bit.. I just had this idea that once i tried install 32 bit GNU/Linux it said that it didn't support my 64 bit processor [22:14] LIke me, I'm on an Athlon64 dual core with 32-bit Ubuntu running fine right now. [22:14] KaOSoFt: ubuntu amd64 is x86_64 [22:14] hola [22:15] hola [22:15] Yep, Ubuntu i386 works just as fine on 64-bit supported processors [22:15] jai- You say hello now after calling us "tontos"? [22:15] que paja [22:15] jai: oi, habla ingles por favor [22:15] hell does anyone already try e17 window manager [22:15] el7? Enlightment? [22:15] GarmaZed, Is there any losses to installing a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit processor ? [22:15] ok [22:15] mespejel: sure, it rocks [22:15] where would I complain about an obsolete package in the repos? [22:16] WierdAAR- Do you have more than 4GB of RAM? Then I'd say no. [22:16] hola [22:16] ... [22:16] I'm trying to connect an ubuntu machine to an HDTV via DVI-D (single link). Both the computer and the HDTV have DVI-I dual link female sockets. The TV returns an "incompatible signal" error. Does anybody know what the problem might be? Could my resolution or X settings be off? [22:16] KaOSoFt, No, my laptop is a couple of years old so only 1 gb [22:16] VCoolio: really? does e17 have an irc room? [22:16] my name jaime [22:16] mespejel: #e [22:16] ifconfig [22:17] meh [22:17] Then I think you wouldn't have any real benefit if you had installed a 64-bit version. [22:17] If your laptop only has 1GB of memory, then you shouldn't really consider 64 bit Ubuntu, or any 64bit OS, really. [22:17] Stick with 32-bit in meanwhile. [22:17] WierdAAR: a 64 bit OS can address more ram, 32 bit is limited to 3,2 GB ram, 64 bit can go far over that. installing a 32bit OS on a 64 bit system works but you simple do not use all functionality of the 64 bit processor. [22:17] Hi - I've got Ubuntu-9.10 and need a libstdc++5 - apt-search cache can't seem to find it, any hints please? [22:17] VCoolio: just e? [22:17] VCoolio: is not working for me [22:17] hello [22:17] mespejel: just e, at freenode [22:17] is not working [22:17] hello everyone.. could somebody tell me for a good groupware calendar solution on debian [22:18] WierdAAR: and perhaps also a slight but slight performance loss, depending on the used 64 bit CPU [22:18] mespejel: are you registered on freenode? that may be necessary [22:18] jai- What do you need? ¿Sabes escribir en inglés? [22:18] VCoolio: where is that option? [22:18] My processor is an Amd athlon 64 mobile if that is enough? [22:18] my name´s jaime [22:19] !es [22:19] I think jai is a bot.

[22:20] Jabberjaw, So there is no point in my having a 64-bit version of linux except that I have to search far and wide for certian packages?

[22:22] eraggo: are you guessing? [22:22] I need something definitive before I use it [22:22] WierdAAR: if you have no 64 bit application that's only available in 64 bit, then I see no reason to switch , except, when you have more then 3,5GB ram , then a 64bit OS can use all the ram. but, most linux apps are still 32 bit and 32 bit on a 64 bit OS hmmm [22:22] does pizza eraggo? [22:22] VCoolio: i see.. so there is no date for an stable release? [22:22] Aeronius: tested, worked [22:22] :) === abransco is now known as Drooling_Sheep [22:23] unignore is a legit command? sweet [22:23] Jabberjaw: there is nothing wrong with running a 64bit version, even if you have less than 4gb ram.

[22:25] h00k, Well, I'm not saying theres anything wrong, but I would't loose anything by running 32-bit? [22:25] I'm trying to connect an ubuntu machine to an HDTV via DVI-D (single link). Both the computer and the HDTV have DVI-I dual link female sockets. The TV returns an "incompatible signal" error. Does anybody know what the problem might be? Could my resolution or X settings be off?

For some reason it will only communicate to my headphones (and not my speakers) but it seems to be unable to communicate through the associated microphone jack. How can I fix this? (It worked fine when this was a windows machine, so I suspect it's not hardware.) [22:28] i can see my disk in syetem=>disk utility but it sais unused or unrecognised format... i need to mount it so i can recover my files from my /home/ dir [22:29] anyone can recommend a room if i have question about monitors, resolutions, built in scalers.? [22:29] please [22:29] sorry maybe wrong room to ask [22:29] my install of 9.04 no longer boots [22:29] mespejel: try #hardware [22:29] bad_cables: what is the error [22:29] no root device [22:29] on boot [22:29] bjj_blue: The room "#hardware" on "irc.freenode.net" is invite only. : [22:29] bad_cables: ok - so what happened to cause this [22:29] :( [22:29] mespejel: ##hardware [22:29] ikonia, dont know... cheap disk?

[22:30] bjj_blue: xorg is dynamic, so the resolution could be anything [22:31] can someone recommend a channel for help connecting to a University fileshare network using LinuxDC++ [22:31] the connection just times out [22:31] zarithyl_: speak to the network administrators [22:31] zarithyl_: I recommend speaking to your network adminsitrator [22:31] ikonia: you win. [22:31] ikonia: hmm... i'm getting an "incompatible signal" error on the TV when I use DVI, but S-video and composite works. Any ideas? [22:32] ikonia, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FS3tpVEY [22:32] bjj_blue: is it a cheap TV ? [22:32] ikonia: worse. old. [22:32] bjj_blue: is it a cheap brand ? [22:32] ikonia: honestly, i don't know. It's an "advent". I got it second hand. [22:32] bjj_blue: what happens if you type "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" [22:32] but i'd assume so [22:33] bjj_blue: ok, so the most common situation would be it's advertising "false" information in terms of it's capabilities, so xorg is setting the wrong information, you may need to hardcode the resolution in the xorg.conf [22:33] how to avoid network manager to modify /etc/resolv.conf ? [22:33] ikonia: not to question your judgement, but what does mounting /dev/sda1 have to do with that? [22:33] Anyone know how to update from the default ubuntu karmic GNOME to a new version [22:33] ? [22:33] bjj_blue: sorry - wrong person [22:33] ikonia: glad I checked lol =) [22:33] retr0xx: download new one [22:33] bad_cables: what happens if you type "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" [22:33] !upgrade | retr0xx [22:33] retr0xx: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [22:34] retr0xx: if a new version/package is available update-manager will offer it [22:34] For GNOME...? [22:34] ikonia: oh okay. so should i just try different resolutions or something (sorry, i know next to nothing about this). Also, it's a DVI/HDCP port on the tv, but that shouldn't matter since i'm only playing cleartext out of my ubuntu box, right? [22:34] ikonia, i tried it earlier and it did nothing... now it tells me to specify the FS type [22:34] A whole desktop environment? [22:34] bad_cables: what file system is on it ? [22:34] ikonia, i cant remember the linux FS... ext3 i think [22:35] any recommendations on a good book or urls for bash? [22:35] bad_cables: ok - so "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt" [22:35] bjj_blue: exactly, in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf you may want to hardcode supported resolutions [22:35] brontosaurusrex: #bash is the place to be, but see: [22:35] !cli > brontosaurusrex [22:35] brontosaurusrex, please see my private message [22:36] Hey i'm trying to uninstall nullmailer (For some reason it was installed and I didn't notice, and it's spamming my syslog) --- Just wonder if it's safe to remove all these packages: bsd-mailx* lsb-core* lsb-cxx* lsb-desktop* lsb-graphics* mailx* nullmailer* [22:36] ikonia: great, thanks! last question. is this something where I *must* directly manipulate the xorg.conf file, or is this something I could do via the graphica Nvidia Xorg manager? [22:36] I think it should be fine [22:36] *graphical [22:36] jrib: thanks [22:36] Just making sure nothing depends on those other packages [22:36] bjj_blue: you can try it via nvidia's tools as it writes to Xorg.conf - however I suspect you'll end up manually doing it [22:37] ikonia, i get an error [22:37] ikonia: okay! thanks for the help! i might come back when i get confused with xorg.conf =) [22:37] bad_cables: "what error" [22:37] bjj_blue: no problem [22:37] Anyone?

Or else you could ssh with -X enabled and launch gksudo nautilus --no-desktop [23:15] time is wrong on diskless client [23:15] how to fix?

If anyone knows the answer, they will likely respond [23:17] SoftChIP: if you're that new, it's best to start with some sort of linux beginners book before you start installing anything [23:18] jaypur1: You can use some command line file editor .. that's how most file editing is done on servers [23:18] "No more PTYs.
