[00:01] ilovethislinuxst: you can always also try the ircops channel at #freenode [00:01] apahsia: Yes, however Ubuntu 9.10's Grub apparantly has issues booting up other Linux distros, so I assume that would also apply to BSD. === titaniumbrella is now known as Carbonish [00:01] J-new-to-u: .... I see... k [00:02] thank you all, i now have a working install and launcher [00:02] i figured kvpnc gives more feedback so i could attempt to figure it out on my own [00:02] very much appreciative and grateful [00:02] ?

[00:03] yeah [00:03] this is one of the errors racoon: failed to parse configuration file im sure that once i get past this one i can try to get on the others [00:04] apahsia: that's odd, Grub itself should be on the MBR, then /boot on your partition which is also for Grub [00:04] I had tried to claim more space for my karmic distro now that I use win7 lesss [00:04] apahsia: and the Linux kernels seem to go there as well [00:04] and it refused to boot into the selection menu [00:04] apahsia: you don't normalley need loads of space for Ubuntu [00:04] that should be autoconfigured from the selections in kpvnc [00:05] but it crashes every time i try to connect [00:05] I'm a noob, but I've taken a serious shining to Linux [00:05] apahsia: also dual booting or triple booting why? if you have enough RAM and such you could just virtual machine other OS's :) [00:05] So a 50GB partition doesnt cut it anymore [00:06] apahsia: you can dual boot with Windows 7 quite easily, it's the triple boot you will get issues with [00:06] apahsia: or so it seems [00:06] a virtual set up is an excellent idea [00:06] didnt think of dat [00:06] apahsia: when I said that, I didn't mean WIndows as host :) [00:06] I'm having trouble saving images via Firefox on ubuntu 9.10. When I right click and hit save image, it saves a .html file instead. Can anyone help with this? [00:06] i'm on a test box though, so no, i don't have enough ram [00:07] but I believe this may b the way to go [00:07] Desciero what happens when you drag the image of onto say the desktop does it save? [00:07] can anyone tell me how to copy my awn settings to another computer? [00:07] any of you guys partial to PC-BSD [00:07] J-new-to-u: Let me try that. [00:08] it claims to be pretty stable and SECURE [00:08] apahsia: What do you want to use Windows for still? Why the interest in PC BSD? [00:08] apahsia: I have tried to set it up on several computers, can never get it to work [00:08] looking for the holy grail of OS's [00:08] apahsia: holy grail as in the best OS? [00:09] has anyone heard of IDT high definition audio codec? [00:09] and yeah, after 6months, I'm so DONE wit Windoze [00:09] me too apahsia [00:09] apahsia: right, but your new to all this alternate OS stuff? === katie11 is now known as katie [00:09] pretty much [00:09] but im finding it hard to transition over when i cannont connect to vpns and mission critical stuff [00:09] On windows, I could use the number pad to navigate in Nethack. Does anyone know how to set the same thing up in Ubuntu? [00:09] apahsia: PC BSD does have some good reviews out there and such, but Desktop Linux is where things are at [00:09] I used Unix back in college-PASCAL days [00:10] but now, I understand the significance [00:10] J-new-to-u: That works. But is there any other way to save them? [00:10] ok sebsebseb [00:10] silly ? [00:11] but how do I reply with a persons handle in my response [00:11] rightclick save image as isnt available? [00:11] type @ [00:11] for reply [00:11] apahsia: What I would suggest is this, dual boot or get rid of Windows, depending on the programs and hardware you have and such. Pick a Linux distro maybe not Ubuntu, there are quite a lot of good distros out there, put that on. Then if you want to do a BSD ok sure, but I suggest a virtual machine. [00:11] @ [00:11] mint is easiest [00:11] got ya [00:11] or puppy dog [00:11] markdymek_: I woudn't recommend Mint [00:12] anyone know the best distro to use for graphics and intel 945 [00:12] markdymek_: it's based on Ubuntu, may as well use the real thing [00:12] @sebsebseb its easier then ubuntu [00:12] I have no issues learning from soup to nuts [00:12] markdymek_: plus the way it does Gnome I don't like, and it's rather green [00:12] should I set concurrency=shell in lucid? [00:12] Lxndr: http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Options#number_pad (although using the default hjkl navigation is a great way to practice vim navigation) [00:12] J-new-to-u: It is, but when I save the image, the file is a .html. [00:12] I just want THE MOST SECURE distro I can find that [00:12] @sebsebseb its pretty [00:12] offers the third party compatibility [00:12] apahsia: most secure uhmm well apparnatly OpenBSD is the most secure OS [00:12] @sebsebseb @gay voice@ sparkling!! [00:13] markdymek_: what was that? [00:13] on the bottom right theres a dropdown box that says html... click it and change it to gif or jpg [00:13] @sebsebseb any version of bsd is ok [00:13] jpeg [00:13] @sebsebseb if you like cl [00:13] @sebsebseb or xwindows [00:13] apahsia: apparantly Flash for example on BSD, has to be done in Linux emulation mode [00:13] @sebsebseb no gnome [00:13] Hi! 15 minutes after my Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 x64 has been on, the screen goes black.

[00:17] apahsia: BSD is good for people who know Unix basically, for these other people who want an alternative to Windows, they should do a Linux distro really, then some of them of course will do BSD in the future, when they are experienced with Desktop Linux. [00:17] @Losha im bored wanted to start a fight [00:17] I doubt it hacker can make their own os if they feel like it [00:17] RS-232: there's already one, under System > Preferences > About Me, next to the user's name [00:17] ic [00:17] markdymek_, you should talk to jrib then [00:17] mysticdarkhack it comes with the territory.... doesn't bother me really [00:17] can anyone tell me how to copy my awn settings to another computer? [00:17] markdymek_: that was obvious, and it *will* get you banned if you persist [00:17] mysticdarkhack: they did, its called linux :) [00:18] brjann, sorry the question was for #drupal it's my mistake [00:18] Does anyone know how to setup desktop wallpapers to pick a random picture on boot? [00:18] apahsia: most focus from opensource/freesoftware as well as some commercial software makers and hardware manufacutues, will be on Desktop Linux not BSD. [00:18] RS-232: heh, no problem [00:18] @losha i fart in your general direction [00:18] racoon: failed to parse configuration file.... any help would be appreciated [00:18] that is definitely worth consideration [00:18] how do i get my HP printer to print pages in reverse? [00:18] MrPiracy, i think you need to copy two sets of folders. 1. the hidden folder thats plainly labeled awn 2. the gconf folder set related to awn under ~/.gconf [00:18] Actually, hackers, they are the one who help developer the kernel, the back bone of linux [00:18] just tried # lpoptions -o outputorder=reverse with no effect [00:18] !ops markdymek_ is trolling.... [00:19] apahsia: So you got Ubuntu 9.10 installed at the moment and you been getting on with it ok? [00:19] Losha: it didn't work [00:19] Losha: need a pipe [00:19] @Losha hey sorry jeez [00:19] markdymek_: This is a support channel, do you need help? [00:19] Losha: if you want to learn how to use the bot you can do it in a PM [00:19] So for now, it all good... [00:19] @h00k helping out [00:19] blakkheim: he knows how to use the bot [00:19] Hi! 15 minutes after my Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 x64 has been on, the screen goes black. The adapter turns off. Have to restart to get it to come back on. Any ideas? [00:19] sebsebseb: doesn't look like it :) [00:19] very much so [00:19] hi sebsebseb: I'm just out of practice is all... [00:20] i could use some help figuring out this racoon: failed to parse configuration file connecting to a vpn [00:20] I've tried most of the others cept, Slax, Arch and Gentoo [00:20] DrDamnit, tried changing the power management options so the screen doesnt blank ? [00:20] exit [00:20] apahsia: So you done Fedor and Mandriva? [00:20] quit [00:20] Fedora that is [00:20] apahsia: openbsd sells itself as 'the most secure distro'.... [00:20] don't like YUM/RPM [00:20] @airtonix: Yes. Turned off the screen saver and powermanagement. [00:20] Sa, what do yall think of the next release of ubuntu Lucid Lynx? [00:20] no it was too good to be true [00:20] airtonix: i found the second one, how about the first? where is it located? [00:21] mysticdarkhack: I think LL should be discussed on #ubuntu+1, not here.... [00:21] think pupple a good color? [00:21] !lucid | mysticdarkhack [00:21] mysticdarkhack: 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 [00:21] MrPiracy, ~/.config/awn [00:21] but then again I'm not sure who has the best package manager [00:21] Does anyone know how to setup desktop wallpapers to pick a random picture on boot? [00:21] airtonix: thx, will try to copy those folders [00:21] !info drapes | Desciero [00:22] Desciero: drapes (source: drapes): a desktop wallpaper management application for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.2-3.1 (karmic), package size 177 kB, installed size 2328 kB [00:22] I know I should talk about lucid in ubuntu [00:22] Yet another Nethack question: I installed Nethack from the package manager. I want certain options to always be selected and set. The wikia claims that there should be a ~/.nethackrc file, but one of those doesn't seem to exist. If I create one, the program fails to recognize it. What should I do? [00:22] MrPiracy, also you should open a terminal and run this command : locate awn . you will see that the plugins etc are in various folders owned by root. so you wont be able to copy those over in a simple operation. [00:22] talk in ubuntu+1, but though everyone hear about it and se the screenshot [00:22] apahsia: best doesn't really exist, it's opinion, and depends on user. So you want to dual boot with Windows 7? or virtual machine it inside Ubuntu and BSD as well? or what? [00:23] blakkheim: thank you [00:23] apahsia: all the package managers are ok for casual use. The thing that sets ubuntu apart (IMO) is the support, both here and in the forums [00:23] I'll settle for the dual boot wit Win n Linux and the virtual BSD [00:23] airtonix: i'll try to copy those two first, see what happens [00:23] airtonix: brb [00:23] DrDamnit, im out of ideas, probably use your excellent and much sought after googleFu mastery to find relevant information on ubuntu forums ? [00:23] Anyway.. [00:23] apahsia: Ubuntu is an alright one to start with, but quite a lot of people will move on to some other distro, after a while [00:24] Anyone here running ubuntu on dual monitor? [00:24] !anyone | mysticdarkhack [00:24] mysticdarkhack: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:24] Need some assistance with Bluetooth DUN tethering. I have a Motorola Droid running PDAnet and want to use it for internet on my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop whilst on the road. Help? [00:24] apahsia: the worst thing about bsd is the lack of ext3/4 support... [00:24] mysticdarkhack: its non trivial to setup [00:24] apahsia: and some people try distrohopping and end up at Ubuntu. [00:24] mysticdarkhack, (because i'm pretty sure that 'everyone' has as some point done dual monitors on ubuntu) [00:24] apahsia: loads of distros to choose from see http://www.distrowatch.com and that site doesn't have them all [00:25] I see [00:25] mysticdarkhack: but not impossible :P [00:25] mysticdarkhack, its very easy to do if you use nvidia binary drivers [00:25] yes [00:25] but ATI is a pain [00:25] !enter [00:25] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:25] I noticed that Losha [00:26] Well I question is concerning flashplayer in fullscreen, if anyone get 50% of video size instead of full. === HPtwhite is now known as Guest35537 [00:26] and I happen to be quite fond of ext4 [00:26] I dig SUSE also, but the bloat [00:26] apahsia: it seems to be a deliberate (yet unstated) policy. Since I have terabytes of ext3, I'm not going to *bsd any time soon.... [00:27] I haven't use suse in a long time [00:27] mysticdarkhack, 1) video card 2) exact drivers a) where you got them b) how you installed them 3) how you setup the dual screen 4) the flash player a) where you got it b) how you set it up? <<< gief details! [00:27] I need help sshing through a firewall, the firewall only allows ssh sessions out, no ports in [00:27] what do u use mysticdarkhack [00:27] my identify command got screwed up, how long before i get kicked? i have to wait for it to reset [00:27] apahsia: The other popular distro's have smaller user communities, but useually still pretty good. [00:27] besides ubuntu [00:27] It seem I'm more attach to linux since I been using it for over 3 years now. [00:28] mysticdarkhack, its nice that you want to relate your personal journal here, but thats more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic [00:28] Guest35537: help in #freenode they can help you with that [00:28] mark__: most firewalls allow some way to open a hole and allow ssh in, and to forward the packets to an internal ssh server.... [00:28] apahsia: I am on Mandriva One 2010 at the moment, since I wasn't that happy with the Ubuntu 9.10 release. Also it's actsually off topic really, to ask quite a few people what distros they have been using. [00:28] gotcha [00:28] apahsia: in here [00:28] < more attach to ubuntu I meanbt to say [00:28] mysticdarkhack, also if you're keen the various ubuntu locale teams could use a keen helper! [00:28] my bad [00:29] just didnt know if anyone knew offhand. all gravy [00:29] mysticdarkhack, what i mean to say is that this specific channel is dedicated to ubuntu techincal support. [00:29] I know [00:29] apahsia: Here are two distros that are popular, that I woudn't recommend, Mint, and OpenSuse. [00:30] I'm an ubuntu user myself [00:30] Love Mint [00:30] opensuse was an adventure [00:30] somebody know what's command open the login windows preferences? [00:30] i like YaST [00:30] I'am an 8.04LTSer myself.... [00:30] Losha: I don't have the ability to configure anything on this firewall, it's my dorm's firewall [00:30] Guest35537: you can use the "/nickserv GHOST username" followed by a /nick username followed by an identify to get your username back [00:30] Linux Mint wrecks every package ubuntu was good at (i.e. backports) [00:31] SUSE is owned by one of the big server co. no? [00:31] jiohdi: Novell [00:31] mark__: then you can't ssh in, only out. That *is* the point of a firewall.... [00:31] My first linux I ever tried was red hat why back toward the of 20 century [00:31] jiohdi: they used to be network company Netware [00:31] OpenSUSE != SuSE [00:31] tony__, gdmsetup [00:31] jiohdi: they also made a patents deal with Microsoft, however this is off topic [00:31] wait, ssh -R will do it for me :) [00:31] my bad [00:31] i mean opensuse [00:31] i've never even seen suse [00:32] ilovethislinuxst: ask in here :) [00:32] !ot [00:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:32] mark__: maybe, but you still have to initiate it from inside the firewall... [00:32] apahsia: well there's Xubuntu which is apparnatly more light waight [00:32] tony__, if you're looking to edit themes then you'll need to edit gconf as the gdm user [00:32] anyone know of i windows media audio decoder for ubuntu 9.10?

[00:44] 4gb [00:44] it should b twice that of your ram [00:44] for swap that is [00:45] i thought it was twice for 2gb [00:45] jmoncayo: Though other people might tell you to use swap, 4gb+, I wouldn't bother with swap. [00:45] jmoncayo: 10GB / | 6GB swap | remainder /home [00:45] whatever your ram is you can double it [00:45] Edgan: no swap means no suspend or hibernate [00:45] no /var no /usr or /home? [00:45] if you want [00:45] jmoncayo: I would make it / more like 16 or 20gb [00:45] if i give 10GB for home where will my apps be [00:46] thought so too [00:46] mneptok: good point, though that is something I almost never do [00:47] jmoncayo: everything but the home directory is in the root directory i.e. / ... although you might want a larger home .. I have 40 gigs of music in my home and only 10gigs of installed apps [00:47] <`andy> anybody have any idea what this means? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5Nmixdpp [00:47] help [00:47] help [00:47] `andy: rename is not a command in linux ... use mv to rename files [00:48] jmoncayo: how much RAM do you have? [00:48] ilovethislinuxst: normally people just straight out ask a question, so people can immediately help you. [00:48] jmoncayo: Also do you have an external hard disk or something like that to back up data to by any chance? [00:48] <`andy> gotcha [00:48] <`andy> thanks [00:48] ok, i have karmic chamelian and my dvd won't play in my computer, and i'm not smart [00:48] ilovethislinuxst: and wait a bit before you ask again, because some people can't keep up and have to scroll back a few messages, etc [00:48] ..... I do have a /usr/bin/rename file :P~ [00:48] !codecs | ilovethislinuxst [00:48] ilovethislinuxst: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:48] GeekSquid: actually, rename *is* a command these days.... [00:49] GeekSquid, try typing "rename" in a terminal ;) [00:49] ilovethislinuxst: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [00:49] what? [00:49] mumbo jumob [00:49] <`andy> thats what i figured cause it works on my other machine [00:49] i need step by step instructions [00:49] sebsebseb: 4gb ram, and i dont have [00:49] ilovethislinuxst: paste that into a terminal [00:49] Losha: ZykoticK9: you are right, but rename is for renaming multiple files [00:49] ilovethislinuxst: why don't you just install xine-ui player :) [00:49] dell poweredge 6850.. needs 220v.. so.. can a regular 18awgx3c 300v power cable be used if I chop the plug off and replace with nema 6-20p? or is there some specific cable that's supposed to be used? [00:49] ilovethislinuxst, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback [00:49] jmoncayo: ok so a seperate /home could be useful [00:49] `andy: my first guess is that you're missing some perl libraries on that particular machine... [00:50] jmoncayo: and no you don't need seperate /var or /usr [00:50] GeekSquid: rename is a linux command, and in the case of Ubuntu it is a perl command that he is having some issue with [00:50] u guys write too fast [00:50] GeekSquid: generally it is used for mass renaming, like one extension to another [00:50] <`andy> hmm how would i figure out what im missing? [00:50] jmoncayo: by default Ubuntu puts everything into / and does swap space [00:50] `andy: head -5 /usr/bin/rename [00:50] <`andy> in my case, i updated my system and there were some broken packages and that's when the problem started (doesn't pertain just to rename) [00:50] so I got the 9.10 remix for netbooks and I have a couple issues. One is no wifi and the other is multitouch isn't working. I also want to single click instead of double click. [00:50] hey [00:51] jmoncayo: seperate /home's are useful for Ubuntu re installs or even distro hopping. [00:51] jmoncayo: when people can't just put there data some where else, e.g. an external hard disk [00:51] `andy: well, do you have any idea how you managed to get 'rename' onto that machine without the perl stuff being automatically installed with it? [00:51] sebsebseb: thanks a lot buddy [00:51] i want what works best in ubuntu 9.10 with my hp dv6000 [00:51] Losha: he said an upgrade [00:51] ilovethislinuxst: why don't you just install xine-ui player :) [00:51] jmoncayo: seperate /home can be set up afterwoulds, but I guess much easier to do it when your going to install Ubuntu [00:52] I have the /msg NickServ Atheros card [00:52] alonea, what kind of wireless is in your netbook? [00:52] Edgan: did he?, I missed that... [00:52] ilovethislinuxst: comes with quite a few codecs and plays most formats [00:52] what's that, wheere is it? [00:52] er, the Atheros card sorry, copy paste is wonky [00:52] i have open movie player, and it's not working [00:52] jmoncayo: I haven't set one up after install, I have told it to do seperate /home when doing install [00:52] is ther a specific channel for lucid questions? [00:52] `andy, have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install" already? It will fix packages [00:52] !lucid | thebwt [00:52] it say something about resource [00:52] thebwt: 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 [00:52] ilovethislinuxst: is in the repos-> sudo apt-get install xine-ui [00:52] 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002c (rev 01) [00:52] jmoncayo: as for SWAP well [00:53] i only want what's supposed to work best [00:53] thanks ilovethislinuxst [00:53] alonea, what is the pci.id, from lspci -nn for the Atheros. looks like 123e:456f or similar [00:53] why am i being thanked? [00:53] ilovethislinuxst: wrong line, thanks sebsebseb [00:54] ilovethislinuxst: http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2003/08/036-xine/xine-ui.png <--- works for me [00:54] jmoncayo: only really needed if your going to hibernate, or so it seems. I think the installer would give you 8GB SWAP space by default if you did guided install, which does not do a seperate /home. however some people would say that 8GB SWAP is a bit to much with 4GB RAM [00:54] ok, let me go ste by step and put in my dvd right now hold on [00:54] is there a command to reconfigure all packages on the system? [00:54] then again, I've used ... since way back anyway :P === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [00:54] can somebody help me install this experimental multitouch driver?: http://bitmath.org/code/multitouch/ [00:54] `andy: first thing I'd try is 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall perl' and see if the reinstall fixes it.. [00:54] jmoncayo: however 8GB SWAP space is ok. anyway on a Live CD now or? [00:54] J-new-to-u1: reconfigure? [00:55] chili555: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. Device [168c:002c] (rev 01) [00:55] sebsebseb: i am on a live CD installing already, i gave 6GB swap, 40GB root 100GB home 100GB var because i do a lot of web stuff [00:55] J-new-to-u1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [00:55] jmoncayo: uh var is for web space? [00:55] it say's you have just inserted a video dvd. choose application to launch [00:55] i was trying to instal something the other day and i had to make install it... but it says i was missing this and that... i have the files it was looking for but not in the places it was looking for them in [00:55] jmoncayo: you mean like Apache? [00:55] i'm choosing open movie [00:56] wth? [00:56] jmoncayo: web stuff ,not web space [00:56] !enter | ilovethislinuxst [00:56] ilovethislinuxst: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:56] black box opens in corner of computer [00:56] sebsebseb: web space, files for domains and stuff [00:56] jmoncayo: I am not actsaully sure what /var is used for, but 100GB seems like a lot more then what you need [00:56] <`andy> Losha: thanks, i might just do a clean install actually, my installation is pretty jacked up [00:56] ilovethislinuxst: just launch Xine player from the menus :| and click on the [dvd] bottom button [00:56] `andy: a clean install is nearly always more reliable than an upgrade.... [00:56] sebsebseb: apache files are placed under /var/www/ [00:57] jmoncayo: your SWAP should of probably really been 8GB, since you said 4GB RAM [00:57] jmoncayo: right ok yeah Apache, been a while since I had Apache installed quite a while acstaulley [00:57] ok so im in sound preferences in ubuntu 9.10 and it only gives me the stereo option; however i have 5.1 and it makes it not sound right. any ideas? [00:57] and mysql is also stored under /var [00:57] <`andy> Losha: i never upgraded, i just ran synaptics one day and it screwed up basically [00:57] for example i have g++ but when i try to install a program it tells me that i have to install it because im missing the dependencies [00:57] jmoncayo: ok that makes sense seperate /var [00:57] <`andy> but i should be ok [00:57] jmoncayo: so if you need to re install, you don't have to mess around with that either [00:57] <`andy> data-wise [00:58] chili555: any ideas? its been a while since I used linux in general. was hoping it would just work. ^_^ [00:58] jmoncayo: Which file system you gone for? Ext4? which is default in Ubuntu 9.10 [00:58] alone, checking... [00:58] thanks! [00:58] see , doesn't work it says this: an error occurred could not read from resource [00:58] i think i found it [00:58] is there a way to point that program at my g++ instal so that i dont have to try to install depreciated packages [00:58] ilovethislinuxst, you'll also want to turn off join/part messages for this channel. assuming you're using xchat then you right click on the channel name in the channel list (which is either tabs at the bottom or a list of channels on the left) and click 'join/part messages' [00:58] alonea, ndiswrapper may be the only way but I'm looking brb [00:58] sebsebseb: yes ext4 [00:58] what? [00:59] ilovethislinuxst, is english your primary language ? [00:59] yes [00:59] ! [00:59] i don't anything is all [00:59] ilovethislinuxst, then whats the problem ? [00:59] i've been telling you the problem [00:59] do any body has an idea ? [00:59] i don't anything is all? [00:59] chili555: figures, I can give that a shot...done it before when broadcom would only work with it. [00:59] ilovethislinuxst, im pretty sure you've been spending most of the time ignoring peoples suggestions [01:00] alonea, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1396074 ndiswrapper looks like it works and the native drivers do not [01:00] * Typos_King nods [01:00] i'm so frustrated [01:00] that sucks [01:00] ilovethislinuxst, then stop winding yourself up [01:00] `andy: that's unusual, but not unheard of unfortunately... [01:00] jmoncayo: ok so you were just confirming partitions, it seems now. Did you check your ISO? :D for a good download, probably not, but maybe. well that's a good thing to do, since they don't always download properly. plus I would do the pshyical CD check on the CD. [01:00] can someone help me fix my problme? [01:00] Maybeif you say what it is [01:00] jmoncayo: or maybe you installed from an offical CD, so no ISO [01:00] ilovethislinuxst: help you fix what you'rre going to ignore due to your frustation? [01:00] anyone have any ideas on how to single click? I know I used to..just not seeing the option. Also, the two finger scroll does not appear to work under mouse options either [01:01] ilovethislinuxst, first thing you need to do is make this channel move slower... you do that by removing the unnessecary messages which are the peoples joining and leaving. [01:01] ok, how do i do that? [01:01] <`andy> Losha: bleh, sucks that's more common than it should be. thanks for your help though [01:01] ilovethislinuxst, you'll also want to turn off join/part messages for this channel. assuming you're using xchat then you right click on the channel name in the channel list (which is either tabs at the bottom or a list of channels on the left) and click 'join/part messages' [01:01] like lets say i want to download the source for my graphics card and compile myself.... i follow the instructions but it says i am missing packages thath i know i have. [01:01] Hes using Purple IRC [01:01] i don't have any idea what you're saying [01:01] i'm new!

[01:02] jmoncayo: both checks? [01:02] hehe, talk about removing 'excess' lines and doing exactly the opposite [01:02] md5 and integrity check [01:03] jmoncayo: ok good :) [01:03] yes, my open movie player says this when i try to play my dvd: an error occurred could not read from resource [01:03] jmoncayo: sha1sum check can be done as well :D [01:03] can any body help me to downgrade my php version [01:03] ? [01:03] Typos how would i deal with that do you know? missing dependencies that i know are not missing [01:04] on a /make install? [01:04] everyone's talking too fast [01:04] jmoncayo: now days with Ubuntu or other distros even, I will do both md5sum and sha1sum, not just the md5sum [01:04] ok so theres a low freqquency squealing noise coming out of my speakers and i know theres nothing wrong with them [01:04] . [01:05] ilovethislinuxst: yes it's a busy channel [01:05] can someone help me? [01:05] Thats what happens when 1379 people join a channel [01:05] ilovethislinuxst: with what exactly? I missed something [01:05] 1378 [01:05] would it be caused by a setting somewhere? [01:05] yes, my open movie player says this when i try to play my dvd: an error occurred could not read from resource [01:05] sebsebseb: i missed that one :( next time i intall something :) do you know any good wysiwyg html for linux [01:06] AlienDK: it's a bit hrm really, how all these people that join and leave it, but that we don't see type here, altough if most of them did all of a sudden, caous [01:06] :) [01:06] !html | jmoncayo [01:06] jmoncayo: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.

[01:08] ilovethislinuxst: What does what mean? [01:08] dedicated [01:08] ilovethislinuxst: a proper IRC program [01:08] ilovethislinuxst: it's another program to IRC on, it's dedicate to IRC and doesn't do other messengers, too [01:08] ilovethislinuxst: that has been specifically made for IRC [01:08] i only use ubuntu software [01:08] that came with my download [01:08] ilovethislinuxst: Xchat is popular, but I prefer Konversation personally, which is a KDE app, and yes those run in Gnome as well, just the first KDE app will want to put on quite a lot of stuff [01:08] ilovethislinuxst: sudo apt-get install xchat [01:09] I just bought new firewire card.

I want to modify my boot order [01:17] supermatt1000, i've never used joy2key - but have a look in your home folder for .joy2key directory or file -- failing that check in /etc/ and see if joy2key is mentioned [01:18] dolley: hi [01:18] Typos_King, does it create from scratch or just edit current pdf files? [01:18] sebsebseb: obviously nodt [01:18] I like ubuntu [01:18] and couldn't understand it , that's why i cam on here for help [01:18] no rather [01:18] ZykoticK9 i think i found a config [01:18] Running ubuntu in VMWare on MacOS v 10.5 -- can't get sound to work. Installed paprefs, which improved things from silence to garbled hissing. [01:18] ZykoticK9 thanks for the help ill tell you if it works [01:18] guys I want to use ubuntu, but it's not advanced enough [01:18] ilovethislinuxst: Ok, because of legal reasons, Ubuntu does not have in built support for propritary DVD's, however you can install support yourself. [01:18] any idea on next release? [01:18] ok, can you tell me how? [01:18] somebody can help me? i've installed some games from ubuntu, but they can't be opened [01:18] Kutakizukari: can't recall, I think I used it before.... it can from scratch, but can't be sure [01:18] ilovethislinuxst: However I am not actsaully that sure how to do it, since I haven't bothered. [01:19] ilovethislinuxst: or did I once or something hrm... [01:19] dolley: same games from Ubuntu? [01:19] Typos_King, will try [01:19] h00k or someone like that, can you take over and help ilovethislinuxst maybe? [01:19] yup, games from ubuntu software center [01:19] i'm having trouble getting a music library imported into rhythmbox [01:19] sebsebseb, this might help http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback (you're very patient) [01:20] it won't import mpeg-4 aac files that were downloaded via itunes [01:20] sebsebseb: well, I had ubottu message ilovethislinuxst with instructions on how. [01:20] anyone able to help? [01:20] ZykoticK9: I am very patient? [01:20] anyone had trouble with the sound when running ubuntu 9.10 inside VMware on a mac? [01:20] sebsebseb, yes! [01:20] h00k: right, but it seems they want someone that will go through it with them step by step [01:20] dolley: Which games? [01:20] sebsebseb: there's nothing to it, when it comes to the dvdcss reading, you can just install libdvdcss2, I got it from the medibuntu repository, manually dl'ed the .deb and installed it, works fine, but something in the back of my head tells me he wants someone to hold his hand, and I'm not sure that's what the channel is about [01:21] sebsebseb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [01:21] Typos_King: that's what I was thinking medibuntu repo, however then earlier someone was on about VLC and some sort of decss driver [01:21] sebsebseb: likely the same one [01:21] sebsebseb: I don't really have time, all of the information is there in a step-by-step fashion [01:22] sebsebseb: billiard-GL, foolbilliard, rise the triad, freedroid rpg [01:22] ilovethislinuxst: you need to install a program called libdvdcss2 which is not provided in the default Ubuntu install, or the default Ubuntu repo's, because of legal reasons [01:22] sebsebseb: I install the .deb myself.... no biggie, didn't require any extra dependenciies [01:22] ilovethislinuxst: repos/resporitories program download servers [01:22] s/install/&ed/ [01:22] !repos | ilovethislinuxst [01:22] ilovethislinuxst: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[01:23] sebsebseb: but something in the back of my head tells me he wants someone to hold his hand, and I'm not sure that's what the channel is about [01:23] sebsebseb, just an FYI with Karmic if you install libdvdread4 (and run a script after install), it will download libdvdcss2 from medibuntu without having to add the repo === KB1JWQ is now known as PFY === PFY is now known as KB1JWQ [01:23] Typos_King: I get the impression that they are quite young as well [01:23] listen, i don't understand any of this stuff you all are tlaking about [01:23] sebsebseb: I mean, he's been at that same stuff for hte last hour, through many suggestions and urls [01:23] what am i supposed to use to open bin files? [01:24] ubuntu 9.10 [01:24] that's what i have [01:24] sebsebseb: billiard-GL, foolbilliard, rise the triad, freedroid rpg. they just cna't be opened, no response at all [01:24] ilovethislinuxst: that's why you should read the links that have been given, and even ask people here about what you don't understand, on the pages [01:24] dolley: oh right 3D games [01:24] ilovethislinuxst you won't understand it for a while you need to get to know linux and read lots of sites [01:24] HPtwhite, typically a bin is a binary -- chmod +x $file && ./$file [01:24] dolley: ok I guess you don't have your graphics card driver installed system > administration > hardware drivers [01:24] !bin | HPtwhite [01:24] that's not what they said when i bought this [01:24] hello@all does anyone know the console-kit-daemon bug? up to 60 threads [01:24] gd it [01:25] d'ah [01:25] !bin [01:25] ok, then? [01:25] thx cuz i have no idea what that meant [01:25] dolley: then those games will probably work [01:25] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and I'm having trouble with my sound driver. Can't hear in certain games (TeeWorlds, Wesnoth) and the sound flickers on the startup sound. [01:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about bin [01:25] ZykoticK9 it cant figure it out [01:25] hey all i'm wondering if anyone here is using 64bit ubuntu [01:25] i need help setting joy2key to /dev/input/js0 [01:25] any one [01:25] ilovethislinuxst: "I was gratified to be prompt on my response, I said, I don't know" -- mark twain; why try to cook when dunno cooking? maybe you're trying to fit on a shirt 2 sizes too big, hire someone to do it for you then, or start reading the manuals you seem to be hardly avoiding [01:26] Shadowmancer: sure, do you have a question regarding it? [01:26] also, my audio is horribly distorted anyone know what i can do about that [01:26] dolley: is there a graphics card driver available? [01:26] i'm having trouble getting a music library imported into rhythmbox [01:26] i'm having trouble getting a music library imported into rhythmbox [01:26] it won't import mpeg-4 aac files that were downloaded via itunes [01:26] how to install? i've found nothing at hardware drivers [01:26] themarmot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:26] h00k: yep, i've loaded the iso onto a flash drive using unetbootin and i can [01:26] dolley: oh [01:26] dolley: Any idea which graphics card you have?

[01:27] no ATI must be set again by xorg.conf [01:27] i'm gonna give up [01:28] it's a friends comp and i'm trying to get him to switch over to linux [01:28] themarmot: well maybe has something to do with that [01:28] sorry... [01:28] ilovethislinuxst: you must read [01:28] xangua, good observation ... is there anything I can do about it? [01:28] everyone's pming me and i don't know who to trust [01:28] ilovethislinuxst: or find someone that will hold our hand properly [01:28] i wanted to find out on this open forum [01:28] what is scim-qtimm [01:28] i downloaded a driver last night: ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run... is it right? [01:28] so i could trust it [01:28] ZykoticK9 it still says must specifie a target [01:28] ilovethislinuxst: pm'ing with what?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [01:29] ilovethislinuxst: wrong factoid there [01:29] themarmot: well, there are codecs that you have to isntall to get them to play, or you can convert them with a tool. 1) I don't remember which codec 2) I forget what tool to use. [01:29] ilovethislinuxst: well kind of [01:29] i've tried googling the issue and searching the forums but can't find anything about this particular issue [01:29] themarmot: well if it's from an ipod try with 'gtkpod' ; lucid lynx wil have ipod/iphone support....if you want to wait [01:29] heheh [01:29] I don't have permission to a file that I want to have permission to and I don't get shit about it. :S Can someone explain this? http://codepad.org/JC0HqlAn [01:29] how can I retreive my external IP from shell?

It's silly, encrypted, and proprietary.

[01:30] pgya [01:30] h00k, yes I agree ... I hate drm and the issues it causes [01:30] ilovethislinuxst: e.g. links that have been given to you in here by the bot [01:30] ZykoticK9 so how do i use it then [01:30] Whats a easy way to install Windows on my machine running ubuntu? [01:30] ZykoticK9 i still cant figure it out [01:30] lekefly: Virtual machine [01:30] that's it i give up [01:30] i'm done [01:30] lekefly: if you got enough RAM and such, won't be that good for 3D Windows games [01:30] ilovethislinuxst: ok, if you're not confortable with me PMing you, I could help you here [01:30] Good afternoon all. Has anyone had any issues with Rhythmbox crashing X? [01:30] supermatt1000, i'm sorry man - as I've said, I've never used joy2key - so i really don't know. Best of luck man. [01:30] lekefly: easiest? eheheh, what does tha mean? [01:30] sebsebseb: know if i can flash xbox? :p [01:31] lekefly: flash xbox? [01:31] ok, then help me nino [01:31] stop pming me [01:31] sebsebseb: yeah.. flash the fw on a xbox 360.. via virtual machine.. [01:31] lekefly: Windows virtual machine, works for most Windows stuff, not everything [01:31] ilovethislinuxst: could you tell me again what the problem was? as I told you, I got here too late [01:31] use vlc @ilovethislinuxst [01:31] lekefly: I think for what you want to do it might work [01:31] ZykoticK9 thanks for trying :) [01:31] my dvd player won't work [01:31] ok i tried the forums on the sound thing but im not finding what im looking for. my sound is distorted... [01:31] dvd won't play i mean [01:31] ohhh gash, no this stuff again [01:31] vlc [01:32] period end of disscussion [01:32] using rhythmbox 0.12.5 on Karmic Koala cant configure last fm [01:32] ilovethislinuxst: I had already gave you a link that has instructions as to how to fix that. [01:32] geezus [01:32] ilovethislinuxst: what happens when you put the DVD? [01:32] hello can anyone tell my why a mounted usb stick under 9.10 as user has no rights (fresh install) only sudo write.. [01:32] NinoScript: they need the codecs installed. [01:32] lekefly: How much RAM do you have? Which version of Windows? you need a CD/DVD/ISO for Windows to virtual machine it [01:32] ok, it says this on my open movie player: an error occurred could not read from resource [01:33] using rhythmbox 0.12.5 on Karmic Koala cant configure last fm [01:33] Big_Mig: can't configure last.fm??? [01:33] ilovethislinuxst: do you hace libdvdcss2 installed¿ if not get it with medibuntu [01:33] !medibuntu [01:33] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:33] u must configure to use it press button nothing happened [01:33] !dvd | ilovethislinuxst [01:33] ilovethislinuxst: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:33] I don't have a menu.lst file in /boot/grub/ any ideas? I want to modify my boot order [01:33] ilovethislinuxst: Ok, I'm pretty sure that everybody here is right [01:33] i only use ubuntu stff [01:33] stuff [01:33] Big_Mig: hrm not sure about that, but there are other players you could try [01:33] i love ubuntu [01:33] lsusb is showing a device that is no longer connected to my laptop, and that device is preventing suspend. is there a way to forcibly remove the device (like via /sys)? [01:34] h00k reading required, he can't do that, sorry :P [01:34] thanks, was wondering if anybody experienced this [01:34] sebsebseb: only have 1gb.. its just a small program.. and i can mount a SATA drive tru it? [01:34] will probably try other player [01:34] VLC!!! [01:34] Big_Mig: I've gotten it to work, I use it every day, verify your username and password [01:34] lekefly: yes you can use another hard disk, with your virtual machine [01:35] hell yeah vlc [01:35] nino, what do i do step by step? [01:35] ilovethislinuxst: you have 2 options, 1.- install the "restricted" codecs, 2.- install a program like VLC that will open just about anything without extra codecs [01:35] ZykoticK9 i think i found the answer but im stll sorta new to ubuntu but look at this and tell me if you can desifer it http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=554521 [01:35] ilovethislinuxst: choose one, and I'll guide you [01:35] i was using vlc when i had windows... [01:35] NinoScript: VLC will still need libdvdcss2 in order to play it. [01:35] i haven't been able to hibernate my system since i installed snort. removing snort fixes it but which logs should i look in to get more information? [01:35] which is the best for my 9.10 ubunut karmic chamelian [01:35] ZykoticK9 tell me after youve looked at it [01:35] choose it how? [01:36] supermatt1000, well if that bug hasn't been squashed then that would explain why you are having trouble! [01:36] ilovethislinuxst: if, like you said, want to use the software that came with your Ubuntu, then go for the codecs [01:36] @hook I see that you must verify It just doesnt do anything when i go to edit>plugins>config [01:36] how near is ubuntu 9.10 to debian squeeze??? [01:36] Hi, I'm trying to add code completion parser search paths for codelite. I'm guessing it's looking for my compiler directories, but I can't find out where everything is supposed to be [01:36] lekefly: so 1GB RAM, but which version of Windows? [01:36] ZykoticK9 apparentaly it has scripts on the page that fixes it [01:36] sebsebseb: xp i gues [01:36] and my widget directories I imagine. [01:36] somebody else said a bunch of stuff about proprietary this and that [01:36] anao2: Debian Squeeze is way more up to date [01:36] and it won't play [01:37] ZykoticK9 look at message 10 [01:37] how do I turn on single click in ubuntu remix? [01:37] I know this isn't totally ubuntu directed but I was hoping somebody had used this program before. [01:37] sebsebseb: how do i install xp directly on the machine tho? seems i need direct hardware accesss.. [01:37] anao2: Ubuntu 10.04 will be about as up to date with packages as Debian Squeeze at the time of release [01:37] ilovethislinuxst: that 'this and that' was instructions you click on, read, and preform and it will get your DVD to play. You'll have to read it, it walks you straight through it./ [01:37] lekefly: you mean dual boot? I was going to type something about that [01:37] sebsebseb: yeah [01:37] ok , thanks for reply [01:37] where hook? [01:38] lekefly: XP works well in a virtual machine with 1GB psycial computer RAM [01:38] !dvd | ilovethislinuxst [01:38] ZykoticK9 i just dont no how to use those patches [01:38] supermatt1000, first you want to confirm you are using version 1.6.1-7 -- and I'm affraid you'd need the source code inorder to apply that diff to it [01:38] what? [01:38] ??? [01:38] sebsebseb: but i guess it wont give me direct hardware access:/ [01:38] lekefly: in Virtualbox, there's an open source version in the repo, which lacks USB support, and a version you can get from them that has it http://www.virtualbox.org [01:38] ilovethislinuxst: The bot will give you information, again. It also sent you a pm with the information. [01:38] ZykoticK9 could we just implie i downloaded that version from the package mannager? [01:38] lekefly: direct hardware access? file systems that the host use, partitions, those can be used in a vm [01:39] lekefly: if that's what you mean by direct hardware access? I assume that's what you meant [01:39] i x'd out of the boxes [01:39] !dvd > ilovethislinuxst [01:39] ilovethislinuxst, please see my private message [01:39] hold on [01:39] sebsebseb: "VMWare will install all sorts of legacy drivers (basically old 386 era drivers as everything knows about them). [01:39] The problems with virtualising it is you need direct hardware access and you still need to have a compliant chipset so it's two fold there." [01:39] Hi there, some one knows portable_ubuntu? [01:39] supermatt1000, does "joy2key --version" work? [01:39] lekefly: you can share folders between the host OS and the guest OS. [01:39] lekefly: uh that's VMware, I recommended Virtualbox [01:39] ilovethislinuxst: ok, I had to answer the phone… did you do anything? :P [01:40] sebsebseb: ah okey.. i was wrong this was a cd drive.. not a hd :p [01:40] no, this guy keeps sending me all these links, i just want my dvd to play [01:40] lekefly: your CD drive, should just work in vm [01:40] ZykoticK9 no [01:40] supermatt1000, or use "apt-cache policy joy2key" [01:40] ilovethislinuxst: ...You have to listen to what we're saying. [01:40] Hi there, some one knows portable_ubuntu? [01:40] sebsebseb: allright.. thanks:) [01:40] lekefly: if you find you want to dual boot though [01:40] rfid help [01:40] lekefly: well if you find there is a reason since a vm won't cut it, otherwise I recommend the vm [01:41] ilovethislinuxst: You have to install extra packages to get a DVD to play. I have given you the links plenty of times, you have to read them and do what they say. [01:41] ilovethislinuxst: They explain what to do. In Detail. With Pictures. [01:41] is Amarok better than rhythmbox guys? [01:41] lekefly: it's just set up the partitions, resize Ubuntu, however then Windows goes over the Master Boot Record and bye bye that part of Grub [01:41] Big_Mig: use mpd [01:41] lekefly: and that's a bit of a pain to get back on there, and your on 9.10 yes? [01:41] all of them or some of them or one of them? jesus [01:41] unreal [01:41] thx ill try that [01:41] ZykoticK9 it says 1.6.1-7 0 [01:41] sebsebseb: yeah.. so its not as easy as just partion and install? :P [01:41] ok, open the Ubuntu Software Center [01:41] Hi, some newly launched windows don't get the focus. I'm using metacity as window manager. Any help? [01:41] lekefly: your on 9.10? [01:41] ok, got single click...nm. what about multitouch? [01:42] who mne nino? [01:42] lekefly: sure, but only since Microsoft doesn't seem to like other OS's at all :D [01:42] ilovethislinuxst: yeah [01:42] see, now we're gettin somewher [01:42] sebsebseb: yeah its 9.10:) [01:42] ilovethislinuxst: they all give you information about that, use the first one for the instructions [01:42] ok [01:42] ilovethislinuxst: search for "restricted" [01:42] !grub2 | lekefly [01:42] lekefly: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:42] What do you guys think of Debian Testing vs Unstable. [01:42] !ot | parallelday [01:42] parallelday: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:42] ilovethislinuxst: and install the one that says Ubuntu restricted extras [01:42] lekefly: that has the Grub issue [01:42] lekefly: Windows, Grub issue [01:42] ZykoticK9 does that meen the patch will work? [01:43] hold on [01:43] How come when i try to add a VPN to ubuntu it wont let me click Add ? [01:43] sebsebseb: yeah reading this atm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Installing%20Windows%20After%20Ubuntu [01:43] supermatt1000, then that bug probably applies - same version. I can't really help with the diff though - sorry I don't know how to do it. You're going to have to (first uninstall the repo verion) then manually download the source code, apply the patch, compile/install from source. [01:43] i can't get my dvd out [01:43] lekefly: that might be for the old Grub, but in that case I guess the insturctions/proccess is pretty much the same [01:43] !grub [01:43] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [01:43] hyperstream: you have to install network-manager-vpnc [01:44] If you can't get your DVD out put a pin in the manual eject button. but, it may scratch and render your disc unreadable. [01:44] ZykoticK9 sounds difficult [01:44] it makes a neat sound when that happens though. [01:44] hi, how do you format a usb stick? [01:44] supermatt1000, see http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8584842 for some details [01:44] h00k, thanks mate [01:44] sebsebseb: will it work if i use another hd? [01:44] hold let me get a pen [01:44] lekefly: you mean install pshyical Windows onto another hard disk? [01:44] sebsebseb: yeah [01:44] it came out [01:44] lekefly: leaving Grub on the Master Boot Record of the first hard disk? [01:44] i had to trash it [01:44] ymioll in what format? fat? ntfs? [01:45] sebsebseb: i guess? :p [01:45] koshari, in FAT [01:45] lekefly: yeah I guess, and then just edit Grub 2 to find the other hard disk with Windows [01:45] ubuntu on one drive and windows on another [01:45] ymioll just use gparted [01:45] ok, nino [01:45] i must already have it [01:45] lekefly: however doing Windows in virtual machine, has security advantages even [01:45] ilovethislinuxst: ok, so you installed the restricted extras [01:45] h00k, still doesnt allow the Add button ? [01:46] i don't know [01:46] ymioll btw you do know fat is limited to 2 gig, bigger partitions will need fat32 [01:46] it only gives me the option of remove [01:46] lekefly: in fact reall using Windows on the Internet is a security risk, and I woudn't recommend it in the first place [01:46] hyperstream: you're trying to add a Cisco vpn? [01:46] sebsebseb: yeah.. but i guess that program wont work well.. with flashing a xbox.. [01:46] koshari, any way to do it without root privileges? [01:46] NinoScript, DVD support isn't in ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:46] and my usb stick is 240MB large [01:46] ymioll i wouldnt imagine so [01:46] h00k, just a normal standard VPN i believe, (Via the network applet thing that comes default with ubuntu) [01:46] what?!! [01:46] sebsebseb: i have to connect the dvd drive of the xbox to the computer and change the fw [01:46] h00k you know how to configure a vpn connection? [01:46] hyperstream: maybe it's network-manager-vpnc-gnome [01:46] i'm done nino [01:46] bad advice [01:46] Ok guys so I'm back again. I have been trying to make a service pack CD for 9.04. I run the live CD, reload package lists, mark all upgrades, generate package download script. Reboot back to my regular installed desktop and down all the packages with the script. Then I try and install them with "dpkg -i *.deb" there is always 3 packages that it says is breaking 11 other packages. Strange thing is, these 3 needed packages are already in t [01:46] jesus [01:47] lekefly: if you got Internet connected virtual machine, and it gets infected you can just throw it away use a copy or do a new vm, delete/copy the file like a normal one. however really should have anti virus or something in internet connected windows vm's, treat them like a pshyical install when it comes to security and Intenret [01:47] ilovethislinuxst: now, unless you have an encrypted DVD, you're done [01:47] lekefly: right, but Ipod Touch and I belive Iphone [01:47] ZykoticK9 is it possible you could do this through remote support [01:47] what are you saying? [01:47] i don't understand [01:47] supermatt1000, sorry man, no [01:47] ZykoticK9 k [01:48] ilovethislinuxst: if you put the dvd and it doesn't play yet, then there are some more instructions [01:48] how do i copy an ssh key manually to another computer? [01:48] ilovethislinuxst: that's what I wanted to say :P [01:48] lekefly: well they are an issue or can be with Ubuntu 9.10, so some people will virtual machine Windows for that, however next version of Ubuntu will have in built support, unless Apple brake that or something. So you see what I am getting at here? You can plug in devices and have them working in your Windows virtual machine. [01:48] why can't i install mino [01:48] The 3 fussy packages are libc6-i686, libdns45, openoffice.org-core. [01:48] it doesn't play [01:48] i already told you that [01:48] it says this: [01:48] ilovethislinuxst: ok, then, do you know how to open a terminal? [01:48] sebsebseb: yeah.. but if it doesnt work i might break the xbox :p [01:49] Any reason why I coudnt manually download and install these specific packages? [01:49] yes [01:49] lekefly: so try Virtual machine first, to get USB devices working, you need to configure them in Ubuntu [01:49] ilovethislinuxst: applications > accesories > terminal [01:49] lekefly: there's a page on the website [01:49] but i don't trust you unless everyone says it;s ok [01:49] you could hijack my computer [01:49] lekefly: and if that doesn't work, then sure pshyical Windows install [01:49] whats the difference between ipsec and l2tp over ipsec [01:49] sebsebseb, i'm trying to installed a driver for ATI, but having trouble. The result is: gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. [01:49] h00k, perfect, thanks bud! [01:50] Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. [01:50] hyperstream: cool, glad it worked [01:50] ilovethislinuxst: put this on the terminal: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 [01:50] J-new-to-u1: I..can try? [01:50] sebsebseb: this is the interface its using: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY_CJNme-Sk [01:50] what's everyone think about that? [01:50] lekefly: those Micrsooft Zune's again, Desktop Linux having those working heh heh, good luck, but Windows virtual machine that would work as far as I know [01:50] ilovethislinuxst: that's safe [01:50] dolley: are you brand new to Ubuntu or? [01:50] dolley what does a ascii charset have to do with a binary videocard driver? [01:50] h00k: thankyou [01:51] What command can I run to get my system's architecture?

[01:51] hello [01:52] supermatt1000, just an FYI - but it's a new version in Lucid [01:52] guys: he said system not software [01:52] ZykoticK9, GeekSquid, Typos_King thanks, I'll try those. [01:52] koshari, yep. :-) === beer is now known as router [01:52] ZykoticK9 what does that mean lucid? [01:52] dolley: ok I don't have ATI card :) I just been here enough time to know they can be a pain. Wait a bit, ask your question again or something here, and someone else will be able to help you properly. [01:52] mac9416 lsusb and ls pci will print all the stuff on those busses [01:52] supermatt1000, it's the next version of Ubuntu coming out [01:52] libdvdread4 is already the newest version.

[01:53] supermatt1000, 52 days from today [01:53] ZykoticK9 sweet [01:53] dolley: it's unfortuante that you end up with a reason to mess around with that, one of the first things you do, and all, because of lack of manufacutre support. [01:53] ZykoticK9 will i have to reinstall? [01:53] what's everyone think? [01:53] !medibuntu | ilovethislinuxst you will need libdvdcss2 available here [01:53] ilovethislinuxst you will need libdvdcss2 available here: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:53] supermatt1000, nope you can upgrade [01:53] ZykoticK9 keeeping the theme?

Perhaps an online resource that explains exactly how the operating system works? [01:54] ZykoticK9 is the count down on the site yet? [01:55] dolley: I think next Ubuntu will have some sort of good open source driver built in for ATI and Nividia, but maybe not good enough for those games. [01:55] supermatt1000, don't think so [01:55] GeekSquid: okay [01:55] michael__: start with www.ubuntupocketguide.com [01:55] supermatt1000, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/home [01:55] ZykoticK9 ok but still cant wait ubuntu is the fastest upgrading os out there right now [01:56] lekefly: So got a Windows CD? and Virtualbox yet? [01:56] ilovethislinuxst: it's just those two lines… it could be automatic, but it's not for legal reasons [01:56] sebsebseb: naw.. going to go with boot :p [01:56] lekefly: with boot? [01:56] Dual:) [01:57] what now? [01:57] ZykoticK9 i think i am losing my theme cause its losing the brown one and most probally changing the theme mannager [01:57] ilovethislinuxst: did you do it? or you still need someone to recheck what I just said? [01:57] dolley: Now is a good time to ask your question to the whole channel, and then again in like 10 minutes, if you don't get a reply. [01:57] i did it [01:57] supermatt1000, sorry man - talking about Lucid isn't really permitted in this channel [01:57] ok, [01:57] ilovethislinuxst: ok, with that, you installed the dvd support. Maybe it's working already, maybe you have to set the region codes first [01:57] what next? [01:57] supermatt1000: there is a lucid channel, #ubuntu+1 if you'd like [01:58] ilovethislinuxst: just try playing the DVD now [01:58] ok, hold on [01:58] ZykoticK9 thanks [01:58] hello, any body now how to configure ATI driver for ubuntu? i'm having trouble on it [01:58] supermatt1000, sorry we couldn't fix it!

[01:59] blakkheim: I meant enemy of freedom part, it's a bit of a sily comment, unless you start explaining what you mean as well [01:59] ATI doesn't support ubuntu? [01:59] !ati | dolley [01:59] dolley: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:59] dolley: they do, but not properly [01:59] dolley: not very well [01:59] apt-get install git automatically selects and installs the wrong package without asking if you want to continue. Lame. How do I report this? [01:59] ilovethislinuxst: yes [02:00] OMG! ITS WORKING!!!!!!! [02:00] yeahhhhh, baby [02:00] tytytytytytytyty [02:00] dolley: as for freedom, we mean software freedom, so programs that have their source code available to the general public, so proggrammers from all over the world can contribute and make better [02:00] poswald: the wrong package? [02:00] nino, i will trust you the rest of my life!

Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [02:00] ilovethislinuxst: then that means you didn't have to set your region codes :P [02:00] Note, selecting gnuit instead of git [02:00] Suggested packages: [02:00] xdg-utils [02:00] The following NEW packages will be installed: [02:00] gnuit [02:00] poswald: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:34] what did i do [02:34] GeekSquid: I am dual booting windows xp w/ ubuntu 9.10... I want to remotly connect to Ubuntu from a Windows computer [02:34] NinoScript: she describes that the grub boot menu loads [02:34] whats the best ISo burner so I can burn my disc of ubuntu [02:34] !best | DontLookClown [02:34] DontLookClown: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:35] NinoScript: she then states all the options don't do anythnig for her [02:35] Mac OS X won't load, so it might be hardware related [02:35] DontLookClown, anyway, nautilus does the job [02:35] GeekSquid: Its done installing.. what should i do now? [02:35] Fbianconi. thanks ill check it out [02:35] pyther: mmm, what happens when you start the computer with the option key (alt) down? [02:35] rohithwiz23: let it run [02:35] markdymek_: stay on the topic of ubuntu support. You were told this earlier. [02:36] what is the gconf key that will show icons next to the words under the System menu? [02:36] NinoScript: not sure as I don't have access to the machine... she said she ran a diagnostic test though === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:36] GeekSquid: I cant find the application.. where should it be? [02:37] DontLookClown, just left click on an iso file [02:37] NinoScript: basically she wants to restore her files as she doesn't have backups and all of her school work is on her mac [02:37] jrib: markdymek_ has been trolling for the last hour, and giving false information ... I am requesting that his IP be banned, [02:37] pyther: with the C key down, it shouldn't boot GRUB, it should boot from the CD… with the option (alt) key down, it should show OSs in different partitions, something like GRUB, but pretty [02:38] im not trolling im giving my information as much as i know it [02:38] NinoScript: ahh my bad, that is what she gets, I'm an arch user and arch uses grub on their install cds [02:38] if its not right then whos 100% right all the time [02:39] markdymek_: well you shouldn't pm people either [02:39] markdymek_: you have been wrong 100% of the time === `mOOse` is now known as m00sw [02:39] especially if you are uncertian === m00sw is now known as m00se [02:39] ahem [02:39] !coc > markdymek_ [02:39] markdymek_, please see my private message [02:39] hello [02:40] hi, all [02:40] Ubuntu 5.10のdefault CJK Input Methodには何でしたか？ [02:40] Ubuntu 5.10 is the default CJK Input Method What was that? [02:40] who know what "pwd" command means? [02:40] who know what "pwd" command means?? [02:40] password [02:40] :P [02:40] o2o: you can determine that from the manual page. It means "print working directory" [02:40] How can I get a GUI for Ubuntu server? [02:40] pwd = "Present Working Directory" [02:41] pyther: you could try booting it with the T key pressed down, it should start in the Target Disk mode, it basically loads no operative system and behaves like an external hard drive with firewire [02:41] When I restart apache2 I get an error that it can't determine my Fully qualified domain name? Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:41] researcher1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, or kubuntu-desktop. [02:41] tritium, thanks [02:41] pyther: or you could get the harddrive out of it, put it in another computer and get the files out [02:41] thanks tritium [02:41] NinoScript: so is that similar to "windows safe mode" [02:41] NinoScript: is the hard drive easily accessible? [02:42] tritium, do you know how to auto fill the nickname? I am using xchat-gnome [02:42] I've personally never owend a mac or have used one all that much, so my knoweldge is weak [02:42] pyther: no, actually it's nothing like it [02:42] o2o: type the first fiew letters of the name and hit TAB [02:42] haha === mac916 is now known as mac9416 [02:42] for example, I want to enter your name, so I type tri [02:42] pyther: it's a hardware thing that makes it behave like an external hard drive, nothing else… no OS [02:42] what is the preferred method of creating a bootable Ubuntu USB disk in Windows? [02:43] EruditeHermit: unetbootin [02:43] o2o: continue to hit TAB to scroll through available nicks [02:43] h00k, thanks [02:43] EruditeHermit: no problem :) [02:43] NinoScript: ahh ok, how would one connect to it, to retrive the files? [02:43] pyther: well, that's a solution if all she wants is to get her data out of it [02:43] IdelOne, I hit TAB, but it only show names with tri prefix, it didn't fill the whole name [02:43] pyther: only through FireWire [02:43] o2o: others answered correctly you before I saw your question. [02:43] ahh so her other computer would have to support firewire, correct? [02:43] tritium, thanks [02:44] yes [02:44] IdleOne, thanks, I got it! [02:44] h00k, can I use a real CD with Unetbootin? I don't have an iso image or the ability to get one. I only have the physical CD [02:44] Question if i partition a external 5 terabyte hardrive to ubuntu will grub loader pick the ubuntu up as long as drive is pluged into the usb slot [02:44] pyther: but I think it's easier to just get the HD out and plug it in another computer [02:44] NinoScript: is the hard drive user accessible? [02:44] GeekSquid: Hey I got it im supposed to run the remote desktop application that came with ubuntu, i got remote desktop working on the local net work [02:45] EruditeHermit: You could take that disk and make it into an iso, I don't know what decent Windows tools exist for that [02:45] Hi, I install the eclipse, how could i know where is it installed? [02:45] GeekSquid: will this setup work on the INTERnet? [02:45] o2o: which eclipse <- type that in a terminal [02:46] pyther: in most macbooks, it's just 1 screw away of the battery [02:46] o2o: glad to help [02:46] NinoScript: alright, I really appreciate all of your help [02:46] h00k, Thanks!! [02:46] o2o: yeah sometimes you have to give 4 characters [02:47] pyther: ask her for the model, and search youtube on how to remove the harddrive ;) [02:47] o2o: that's where the actual executable is [02:47] whereis eclipse [02:47] NinoScript: alright, would that void the warrenty? [02:47] hello, i have a computer that won't read the live cds. its ancient. Is there any way i can boot off a floppy and from there boot from a flash disk? === d_rugs420 is now known as dumdumz [02:47] h00k, I got where eclipse executable is now. but where is the directory of its other file in? [02:48] I need help seting up remote desktop from Ubuntu to windows on the INTERnet [02:48] pyther: no, it's away of the warranty-voidable places [02:48] hello, i'm having a problem with ubuntu. i had just downloaded the nvidia drivers and activated them, and after that i get a flickering login screen (a command prompt, not the normal GUI) and can't log in. i'm not really sure where to begin [02:48] I have a boot manager on a floppy but it doesn't have usb support [02:48] NinoScript: ahh ok [02:48] my /boot/grub directory has no menu.lst file, but I want to change those settings. what should I do? [02:48] pyther: I'd like to help you in fixing the Ubuntu part of the problem, but it seems that we don't have enough data on it :P [02:48] mmfei, thanks!! I got all about where is eclipse now. [02:48] o2o: settings are probably in your home directory in a dotfile (.eclipse, maybe) [02:49] NinoScript: she claims that when she selects one of the options the boot selection screen (ubuntus) just freezes [02:49] o2o: the libraries and things are automatically placed where they need to go in various folders [02:49] NinoScript: but like you said I'm afraid that isn't enough in a helpful troubleshooting [02:49] rohithwiz23, it will only work if you can accept connections from outside [02:49] NinoScript: here problem with Mac OS X: "It's frozen at the loading screen" [02:50] NinoScript: which might indicate there is a hardware issue [02:50] o2o : hehe , glad to help [02:50] o2o: there is no "Program Files" type of structure as exists in Windows [02:50] I installed xsensor for my laptop but when starting it i only get a blank window ...no temperatures no nothing...why? [02:50] Question if i partition a external 5 terabyte hardrive to ubuntu will grub loader pick the ubuntu up as long as drive is pluged into the usb slot [02:50] pyther: tell her to try booting from the cd (she has to put the CD, restart the computer and press the C key while the computer starts) [02:51] fbianconi: I have a Windows XP computer and i am trying to remotly connect to my Ubuntu computer [02:51] h00k, I want to know where is eclipse.ini config file is [02:51] NinoScript: the ubuntu cd? === afmlegend is now known as codygman [02:51] hey I installed ubuntu on a laptop for this kid's dad and I remoted in to that machine and I am wondering if I can change it to edubuntu or if there is a suite of eductions software especially for ubuntu that I can install so it can help him with school? [02:51] the machine is for an 8 year old [02:51] pyther: any CD actually, if all she wants is her data ;) [02:51] my /boot/grub directory has no menu.lst file, but I want to change those settings. what should I do? [02:51] o2o: it's probably going to be in your home settings in a dotfile [02:52] NinoScript: she has been able to boot the ubuntu cd, but any of the option result in the selector (like grub) screen to freeze/hang [02:52] sudobash: you can sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop [02:52] She sees the choice to install, boot, etc.. ubuntu [02:52] fbianconi: how do i set this up? [02:52] will that install education software for kids? [02:52] rohithwiz23, in the ubuntu machine go to System/Preferences/Remote Desktop and check "allow other users view my desktop" [02:52] sudobash: yep [02:53] s`s: maybe you have Grub2? I think that doesn't use that directory [02:53] is there anything else I can install by name? [02:53] when installing ubuntu with the wubi installer for windows how does it take over windows when you run it? [02:53] s`s: In one of my installation I've found the menu.lst to be in /boot/boot/grub. [02:53] fbianconi: I did that.. I can acess the computer on my intranet... but i want to be able to acess it via internet [02:53] NinoScript: Soli I'll try looking there and see what I can find. I think karmic comes with grub2 so that's probably why [02:53] sudobash: there's Gcompris, Childs Play, Tuxpaint, Tuxmath and so on. you can look at the Education centre in Software Centre of Synaptic, I assume 9.10 so Software Centre if earlier version add/remove [02:54] sine^: it doesn't take over, it runs like any other windows application [02:54] NinoScript: although if it is Grub2, how would I change the menu? [02:54] sudobash: Education section, above [02:54] where is ubuntu storing all the aplications? [02:54] serverduck: in software centre, or Synaptic [02:54] so windows is still running and using the same amount of cpu ram etc and ubuntu is running like you would vmware an os from another os [02:54] serverduck: /usr/bin /usr/lib, etc... [02:54] pyther: sorry I can't help you more, actually this is my first week of trying any linux, hahaha. I'm a mac user [02:54] NinoScript: ahh okay, thanks a lot [02:54] adfasdf [02:54] I'm trying to find xsensor path [02:55] rohithwiz23, that is a routing problem the solution depends on how your network is configured, do you have a router? [02:55] sine^: no, when you boot to ubuntu, windows is not running [02:55] Were could that be in? [02:55] fbianconi: yes [02:55] NinoScript: oh right, well off topic really, but next Ubuntu is actsaully going to be more OS X like by default [02:55] I want to run it from the terminal to see if i get errors. [02:55] so basically windows closes and hands it all over to ubuntu [02:55] I didn't see an education section in Synaptic... [02:55] how do I select locales to generate? [02:55] IdleOne: and to log back into windows you need to reboot ? [02:55] sudobash: hrm [02:55] I installed it in software center but i get no temperatures..and i don't know what to do [02:55] sudobash: in the Software Center is where you'll find that [02:55] sine^: yes [02:56] Software Center? [02:56] IdleOne: that sound pretty good [02:56] you need to redirect the incoming traffic on the port 5900 to your ubuntu machine [02:56] fbianconi: have to open certian ports.. or some thing [02:56] s`s: here /etc/default/grub [02:56] is the Software Center new? [02:56] ohh, he left ¬¬ [02:56] sudobash: it's in Karmic [02:56] didn't notice it... [02:56] ill look for that thanks... [02:57] anyone used xsensor? [02:57] sine^: there are advantages and disadvantages to running ubuntu that way. Thing of a Wubi install as a test until you are ready to do a "full" install of ubuntu [02:57] sebsebseb: what do you mean? I'm really new here :P [02:57] think* [02:58] NinoScript: I meant themes for the next version of Ubuntu will be more OS X like, but this is off topic really. [02:58] Or is there a software to display your machine temperature? [02:58] sebsebseb: the theme is not official yet. I think it is more of a test to see what people think [02:58] can i apply the wubi to the ubuntu iso i downloaded? or i need the wubi version [02:59] IdleOne: ^ [02:59] IdleOne: yeah maybe, alough the user interface freeze was meant to be on the 4th [02:59] sine^: I don't understand what you mean, sorry [02:59] how do I temporarily disable pulseaudio without it automatically restarting? [03:00] i just downloaded a normal iso of ubuntu [03:00] instead of the wubi version [03:00] nvm [03:00] oddlashmeat: pulseaudio -k [03:00] sine^, yes you should be able to do so [03:00] sine^: I don't know if Wubi let's you chose the iso or if it goes and get the iso to install [03:01] but try it :) [03:01] Does anyone have an idea why my power management settings won't work on a desktop? It's like ubuntu never regards my computer as idle [03:02] brjann: pulseaudio restarted when I ran a sound application, I don't want it to start back up when I play audio. [03:02] Ultimately I just want my display to blank after 10 or 15 minutes but it never will [03:02] oddlashmeat: hm. try killall pulseaudio [03:02] aimless, do you have a screensaver daemon running? [03:03] Whatever comes with it normally. That doesn't work either though fbianconi [03:04] my problem with pulseaudio is the latency, when i uninstalled pulseaudio altogether, the latency was fixed [03:04] oddlashmeat: same here, except in certain programs [03:04] not sure what to do now [03:05] the latency is fixed when I hear the startup sound, but its horrible in games like TeeWorlds [03:06] which header file has the log function for gcc compiler [03:06] any pointers please? === monster_ is now known as Vibrant [03:07] hi everybody [03:07] Heya, can anyone help me? I don't have any panels and I cannot figure out how to get them back. [03:08] Ello [03:08] techzg: math.h, install manpages-dev and man 3 log [03:08] Vibrant: try killall gnome-panel [03:08] Vibrant: This might help [03:08] !panels [03:08] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:09] every time i try to start my newest ubuntu installation (9.10) it hangs with a console message about searching for filesystem.

[03:10] Vibrant: try gnome-panel & [03:10] Can anyone tell me how to get sound back? I tried installing Open Sound System (OSS) which deletes ALSA and pulseaudio. Didn't help so I deleted OSS and reinstalled ALSA, but now I cannot see my volume bar. Not sure what to do from here. [03:10] ok, I have a very odd issue [03:10] I'm trying to insall ubuntu to a hitachi desk star sata drive [03:11] And my IT Teacher managed to get me interested in Ubuntu.. I tend to be very rooted in windows but im far from an idiot.. :P [03:11] Desciero: the default volume bar is part of pulseaudio I believe [03:11] and the installer can't seem to see the drive [03:11] trism: Is that the exact command - install manpages-dev? [03:11] oddlashmeat: ok which pulseaudio do I get, because the one I had was causing problems. [03:11] but in the terminal "fdisk -l" looks fine [03:11] Just for clarification, when I say panels I mean a task bar and such. [03:12] ubuntu: check the disk SMART data. maybe the disk is dead? deskstars have a tendency to commit suicide [03:12] Vibrant: did you try running 'gnome-panel &' ? [03:12] Yes, I did to no avail. [03:12] Desciero do you have any external devices plugged into your sounc card? [03:12] Curly_Q: Nope. [03:12] Vibrant: what did the terminal say? [03:13] Desciero have you checked the cables in the first place and see if the audio adapter jacks were mono or stereo? [03:13] will do [03:13] trism: installed math.h thanks! [03:13] I swear I've tried everything else [03:13] techzg: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev; it has all the documentation for the library functions (on page 3, so man 3) [03:14] Curly_Q: Fairly certain this is not a hardware-related problem. The drivers are screwy or something because I'm able to have perfect sound in Windows.

[03:16] trism: I did install math.h, should I specify -lm while compiling a program? [03:16] Curly_Q: So what do I do? [03:16] Have you tried seeing if your sound card or board is supported. In most respects, it is a generic board configuration that is what works. [03:17] every time i try to start my newest ubuntu installation (9.10) it hangs with the console message "Detecting filesystems..... 30%" . This is a fresh install -- what gives?

[03:21] instead of xfce [03:21] sorry, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [03:22] out of all the programs I use. I use mIRC the most on windows. the rest I can just switch over. but i have scripts in my mIRC that I need. anyone know if it runs well on wine? :S [03:22] anybody else have any other ideas with my hd issue? [03:22] Well, my panels were not showing up. So, I followed the instructions given and installed gnome panel. However, I have xfce4 and I'm trying to run that instead. [03:22] Liliaku: you'd probably get more of a response in #winehq :) [03:22] kk [03:23] I don't know if that helps any. [03:23] Liliaku: alternatively, you can look it up at http://appdb.winehq.org/ [03:23] what's even more unnerving [03:23] Ll [03:23] Kk- [03:23] has anyone here ever used vnc to fix each other's ubuntu issues?

IT's the ICH5: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel [03:24] Vibrant: which panels in particular ? [03:24] When I compile a C program with some warnings and zero errors, can I get an executable file [03:25] Vibrant: personally i would purge gnome-panel , and apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [03:25] that should pull in everything needed for xfce :/ [03:25] but CHI is good idea. thank your again. [03:25] Is anyone using the Nvidia drivers? I am and now the PC runs very slow. [03:25] Um, panels in general. My top and bottom "taskbars" if you will. I've purged the gnome-panel and gotten the Xfce ones back however when I close the terminal, they vanish again. [03:26] how do i get the restricted drivers? [03:26] Will someone help me figure out why I cant get my dvd player to work? [03:26] But then I reinstalled - and everything was fine. Then when I install the drivers again - bamm - its slow again. [03:26] help installing a windows webcam on ubuntu [03:26] Vibrant: does apt-get install xubuntu-desktop pull in anything? [03:26] Vibrant, try logging out and in again [03:26] How do i make from a source with a specific gcc version? The software i'm trying to compile is older and uses gcc-4.2. Is there an easier way to do this rather than changing the links in /usr/bin/? [03:26] When I compile a C program with some warnings and zero errors, can I get an executable file [03:27] and yea try logging out and in again [03:27] techzg: yes [03:27] No, it does not.

[03:28] and what WM [03:28] can i get help installing a webcam that says only compatible for window [03:28] oddlashmeat: usually if you've installed multiple versions of gcc, they install their binaries as gcc- and, and gcc is actually a symlink [03:28] cyberbluntz, if you're looking for DVD support see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback [03:28] @CyveraX2195: Are there any parameters to suppress the warnings and get exe file?

[03:29] yes, an executable file [03:29] I just installed Ubuntu on a partition of an external drive. My main system is OS X and I wanted to keep it. Now, neither Ubuntu or Mac OS X will load except from the CD. The data is there, but no loading. Help?!? [03:29] erm , ubuntu won't create exes [03:29] thats for windows .. for that you'd need wine [03:29] brjann: so the only way is to switch the links target to the other version? [03:29] unless u main a plain old binary [03:29] CyberaX2195, so I reinstalled the OS - and it works fine until I install the Nvidia drivers [03:29] allynbauer: my guess is you accidentally installed GRUB to the boot partition [03:29] *mean [03:29] allynbauer: run the recovery cd for OSX [03:29] blz: is that bad === emma_ is now known as emma [03:30] oddlashmeat: no, you can specify the version you want directly. e.g. gcc-4.2 -c foo.c -o foo.o [03:30] I did actually get an exe when I complied a C program on gcc [03:30] brjann: i'm using a makefile [03:30] blz: I don't have a recovery CD - just the install disks [03:30] allynbauer: not really. your data should be intact, but it's hard to tell === sandy is now known as Guest15776 [03:30] if u mean a plain old executable , it'll be called a.out, unless you specified a binary name [03:30] oddlashmeat: then you'll have to redefine the CC environment variable to point to the compiler you want [03:30] allynbauer: the install disk is a recovery disk too, i believe. You just have to restore the OSX bootloader I think. It's hard to tell without more details though [03:31] I'm still having no luck. Every time that I close my terminal, the panels go away as well. [03:31] I just complied a Hello! World program and I got an exe after compilation [03:31] allynbauer: you need to give us the exact error you're getting [03:31] oddlashmeat: but we're getting a bit beyond ubuntu support at this point, i think [03:31] brjann: okay [03:31] techzg: yea, i assume your other code doesn't create a binary? [03:31] No, it doesn't [03:31] can u paste the compile log to the pastebin for me? [03:31] blz: I don't get errors - it just gray screens. I can boot from the os x install disk and tell it to boot from my osx install, and it restarts..and just gray screens. It doesn't lose responsiveness, it just doesn't do anything [03:32] ok [03:32] I installed Nethack from the package manager. I want certain options to always be selected and set. The wikia claims that there should be a ~/.nethackrc file, but one of those doesn't seem to exist. If I create one, the program fails to recognize it. What should I do? [03:32] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zwMwXCNi [03:33] how do i get the restricted drivers? [03:33] umm techzg i meant the output from when you type make .. or the compile line :P [03:34] Yes :) http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vkxgvzFA [03:34] right [03:34] you do have errors [03:34] Do you have to open certain ports in the firewall of ubuntu for vncviewer to work?

[03:38] Lxndr: it will automatically use ~/.nethackrc if it exists, but it has to be in the correct, it has an odd format; OPTIONS=race:elf,color,!autopickup (etc), there is an example here http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/User:Kernigh/nethackrc === Administrator is now known as Guest48516 [03:38] techzg: yea that would cause one of them [03:38] hexdump: should be a one-liner. Something like: while true; do netstat -ntaup; sleep 1; done [03:38] its odd tho [03:38] because its found the headers [03:38] good evening. have a question about Grub2 - is there anyway to add an entry, and have it remain after a kernal upgrade? [03:38] but it can't link to them [03:38] Vibrant, for a temporary solution use "nohup &" [03:39] techzg: how are you compiling this? [03:39] whats the advantages of grub2...i didnt find any from grub 1 [03:39] blz: maybe this is a stupid question, but do you have any insight as to the particular steps one takes to do that? [03:39] Losha: This won't stuff the mem with programs that aren't killed off will it? [03:39] blz: I thought one could reinstall just the system but I dont see that option [03:39] on the terminal, gcc filename.c -o filename -lm [03:40] CyberaX2195: headers are compile time, you need libraries to link to at link time -lm [03:40] what I mean is keep adding the same command with different PID [03:40] @ranjan : I don't find any advantages, just pains in the rear end [03:40] Losha: aye i've never used math.h personally [03:40] hexdump: no, it runs one instance of netstat till it exits. then it sleeps, then repeats... [03:41] bluedalek, what you said is right....even the things are getting complex [03:41] Losha: nice thank you [03:41] CyberaX2195: do what techzg said above... [03:41] is there a way I can installl math.h for gcc? [03:41] hello, could someone test this link with vlc only [03:41] techzg: its found the headers it just can't link to it [03:41] rtsp://216.39.218.21:554/encoder/barak.rm [03:41] techzg: `sudo apt-get install build-essential` should give you all those normal ones [03:41] techzg: what happens if u add -L/usr/lib to the line? [03:41] bluedalek, adding entry deleting entry restoring grub etc is a hell with grub.2 [03:41] it shouldn't be needed , but still [03:42] @ranjan, your right.. and it's mandatory for my system.. won't boot without a specific entry [03:42] its the same output [03:42] yea make sure u have build essential installed [03:42] yes gccc is the latest [03:43] allthough it seems to have found the header ok . which is odd [03:43] not sure why it can't link to it :/ [03:43] :( [03:43] esp as strlwr is part of string.h [03:43] It did run successfully on Turbo C compiler though [03:43] ya [03:44] er [03:44] techzg: please pastebin the output of your compile.... === MJ94 is now known as Guest99227 [03:44] Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vkxgvzFA [03:44] Yes, that's the one [03:44] techzg: is this C++ code?

[04:09] mihir: open your terminal and type file /sbin/init [04:09] kajalopp: theres a few ways to do that ... disabling gdm/kdm is one option. [04:10] thanks everybody for the help. see yas. [04:10] CyberaX2195: but then I'll need to type startx everytime I log in, I was looking for something more... automatic. [04:10] hmm [04:11] doesn't graphical mode ask for the username + pass ? [04:11] any particular reason you want to use a terminal login? [04:11] by keeping cd in cd romor without [04:11] one way around that kajalopp would be to add something to bashrc .. so every time somone logs in it executes startx [04:11] yes, it does. I just like the old terminal login, nothing strictly necessary ;) [04:11] CyberaX2195: good idea [04:14] hi guys [04:14] Did the problem with dual booting and grub 2 ever get straightened out?

You might need to install a GStreamer RTSP extension plugin for Real media streams." [04:26] johnfg: grub2 is a mess still, there's no doubt about that.... [04:26] what is the name of the plugin?

I went back to 8.04... [04:27] Going back to grub 0.97 like in Fedora? [04:28] little help? [04:28] Losha, Do you mean the grub for 8.04? Or 8.04 period? [04:28] big help? [04:28] surely just installing the legacy package for grub would have been easier :S [04:28] Damascene: hmm [04:28] johnfg: I've seen web pages about people who're running 9.10 with a downgraded grub1, but it's definitely an unsupported configuration.

Is there a way to have a higher resolution than what my screen supports? Either by scaling it or letting you move around the display of the screen by moving your mouse to the edges? [04:38] is there any full featured open erp is available [04:38] Yes I do, but I have never had any trouble multi-booting before, not with debian or fedora, windows xp, etc. [04:38] OK, I don't know if this is connected with the recent update, but it just began happening where everytime I click on something, instead of doing what the single click used to do, it would act like I was holding down the mouse button. So when I click a tab, it doesn't open the tab, and I move my pointer it drags the tab around. Or, I click a link, it doesn't open the link, and I move the pointer, and it drags the link around (like I was going t [04:38] Can someone help me fix this? [04:39] I actually only have the problem with ubuntu, but it might be the only one of the distros that I use, or would like to use, that uses grub2. [04:39] Aeronius: Could it be that your mouse pointer is broken? Does it work on another computer with Windows?

[04:47] Hi! I just bought this 22" LCD Widescreen Monitor and I want to put the resolution to max possible (1600x1050 accordingly to google). But my NVIDIA X Server Setting (GeForce 9500 GT) only allow me to set to 1360x768, and it part of it stay "out" of the monitor. I'm using 1152x864 which is really bad. How can I change that? [04:47] eboyjr: It's my touchpad, and I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware. Could it be the new kernal isn't supported by the driver? [04:48] eboyjr: it may be possible, it depends on the graphics chip [04:49] any ideas what it is? [04:49] Aeronius: It could be. I would recommend installing the previous kernel and choosing it temporarily from GRUB and see if it makes any difference. If it was from a recent upgrade this is likely the case.

[04:52] Monona, more or less but you may run into minor issues because of different package versions of ubuntu-specific patches...and you should copy your /home back to your new system, i wouldn't recommend keeping /home mounted on an external disk [04:52] Monona: The home folder contains all users config info for it's current distribution [04:53] anto9us: thanks, i'll give a look :) [04:53] The information maybe be the same or similar in some areas compared to other distributions but it's no guarantee to be an exact match [04:53] FRANK [04:54] Ganymede, soreau: Yeah, so the install info I read (on avlinux, specifically) said the installer would format /home. So if I just copy it to my external hard drive, and then copy it back over onto the fresh install of ubuntu, I should be able to dual boot, right?

[04:55] Monona: There are many pitfalls such as permissions and any other number of factors [04:56] I have some problem ,i can't see your words... I just test it [04:56] Ganymede: I think I have enough hard drive space to have separate home partitions. I'm storing all my media on a hard drive. [04:56] This morning I walked into a locked-up mouse and keyboard on my work 9.10 installation. Tryed [04:57] soreau: Any particular resources you'd suggest to learn more about those? [04:57] Monona: Learn about what? You haven't asked a really pointed question yet [04:58] Tried a number of things including recovery mode, but nothing improved. Don't really want to reinstall if I don't have to. Any ideas? [04:58] tbird222, Does rescue mode at least allow you to get to a terminal?

( you will need to be connected to the internet ) [05:00] soreau: I'd like to be able to boot into musix, avlinux, and ubuntu. If they can share a home folder, that'd be great. If not, I want them to have separate home folders. I'm trying to figure out what questions to ask. [05:00] tbird222, Or pastebin it from a liveCD [05:00] it'll probably be something like the root partition read only or something :S [05:00] I've got /home /boot /usr in separate partitions, so ya, that would work, but isn't there a repair for hardware drivers? [05:01] it depends whats wrong . [05:01] tbird222, What wouldn't work?

In this case it would be helpful to see the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log. the "apt-get install pastebinit" portion installs pastebinit since it does not come with Ubuntu by default.

[06:00] user___: that particular log message happened 93 seconds after booting -- is that when the system froze? [06:01] I think so... [06:01] I think I was trying to recreate it that time. Let me look back through. [06:01] It seems to ALWAYS happen when I'm using the web and running some graphical form of APT [06:01] whether it's the software updater, the new software installer, etc. [06:01] but it has happened at other times too [06:02] I at firs thought it was an overheating problem, but it seems to be too unpredictable for that... [06:02] if I opened software update right now with my web browser (either firefox OR chrome) it will freeze my system completely [06:03] I think you're right [06:03] I don't think that's it. I think that's just what I thought it was. [06:04] user___: well, it might be. it is unusual for the kernel to be complaining about the clock source that late in the boot process; usually mine complains at about the 1 second mark [06:04] okay [06:04] hmm. [06:04] user___: you can try rebooting and in the grub boot options editor, add clocksource=hpet to the end of the boot line and see if that helps things. if it does, we'll tell you how to make it permanent [06:05] what does that do? [06:05] user___: specifies a different clock source for the kernel, in particular the high-precision event timer (hpet) [06:05] okay, neat [06:05] I didn't know there were options! [06:06] I will give that a try, thanks brjann! [06:06] by the way, this might help [06:06] user___: do you know how to edit boot options? [06:06] user___: if not, look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Temporarily%20For%20An%20Existing%20Installation [06:06] that message seems to be partners in crime with this: ubuntu-laptop pulseaudio[1366]: ratelimit.c: 9 events suppressed [06:06] Hello ? [06:06] and LOTS of these: ubuntu-laptop kernel: [ 39.130090] glxinfo:1508 freeing invalid memtype ec272000-ec282000 [06:07] can u give me support ? [06:07] well, I guess lots of both exactly...since it's putting multiple events on that line with the audio [06:07] user___: the pulseaudio one is (fairly) normal, i get that too [06:07] user___: the glxinfo one is worrisome [06:07] i cant see my wireless extension [06:07] hi Visor [06:07] phoenixz, you might want to check out FrostWire http://www.frostwire.com it's a Gnutella client (similar to LimeWire which also has a DEB download) [06:07] thanks for the link, I don't know how to edit the boot options, I would have had to look that up, thank you!!! [06:07] CrOnOs__, Hi, =) [06:07] user___: alternatively, for grub2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Editing%20Menus%20During%20Boot [06:07] okay, good to know about the audio. [06:08] i have a big trouble with my wireless card [06:08] is it? it seems to run in spurts. there will be 20-50 spit out and then it's fine, and then sometimes more....I think the screen may sometimes flicker when this happens === kj is now known as Guest24336 [06:08] okay, I'm taking that down [06:08] i dont found drivers fot wireless, wripper cant help me [06:09] Visor: if english isn't your first language you can find an ubuntu channel that speaks it [06:09] user___: i've never seen that glxinfo error before [06:09] I kind of got that impression that it was a little uncommon....google wasn't a big help [06:09] what type of wireless card is ? [06:09] I think IRC is usually kind of my last resort [06:09] blakkheim, i speak spanish, i from Santiago, Chile [06:09] !es > Visor [06:09] Visor, please see my private message [06:09] CrOnOs__, a Realtek [06:10] also brjann: I tried tuning the display options, from normal to regular to extra...and it would seem that the error still happens [06:10] i have setted-up a ubuntu mail server, where do my emails go? [06:10] what is it's complete path? is it under /var? [06:11] Question: I'm just wondering if we can customise Yakuake or Guake to slide up from the bottom rather than to slide down from the top. [06:11] brjann: however, this is a used laptop. maybe I'm getting what I paid for? maybe it blue screened all of the time or something before I got it and put ubuntu on it. :) [06:12] user___: it very well could be. kernel panics can be caused by faulty hardware [06:12] that makes sense to me. is that what is happening? a kernel panic when my system freezes? [06:12] If u have information about the Realtek wireless card, please === user___ is now known as bdiggs [06:13] brjann: user___ now is me...changed the name to make it easier [06:13] bdiggs: it's possible, yes. one other thing you might try is running memtest overnight, to see if the system memory is bad [06:13] hello. i installed the nvidia 185 drivers on my mobile geforce card earlier today and it totally messed up my installation. i got a flickering screen and couldn't log in. i reinstalled and everything is good, but i'm trying to avoid messing it up again. what should i do? [06:13] i have two workspace now ,then how to add a third one and how to switch among workspaces using a keyboard shortcuts? [06:13] that's a great idea. I had that in mind and totally forgot. [06:14] brjann: will try both of those suggestions. thank you. [06:14] bdiggs: sure thing, good luck :) [06:14] thanks! [06:14] it is much appreciated!!! [06:15] terroh8er,i have the same experience, it is hard to remove it completely,try a fresh system installation, good luck [06:16] Windows Vista boots up in 1GB of RAM on avg, maybe 600MB if you trim services. My Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04 typically used 250mb...now, 9.10 is using only 130~150mb. What did everybody do to make it so amazingly lean? [06:16] can someone direct me to a room that would deal with ekiga problem please [06:16] does anyone have any wording that I might use to describe the difference between linking and "shelling out"? I need to explain why shelling out to a GPL product from a BSD product is okay to a lay person. [06:17] ouyes: i did a fresh installation just now.. but i'd like some sort of video card drivers on here. not sure if i should try the 190.xx drivers or maybe even the 173.xx ones [06:17] QUESTION: i have set-upped an ubuntu mail server, where do my emails go? [06:17] is it under my /home or /var folder? [06:18] QUESTION: Can someone Please direct me somewhere to handle an Ekiga chat problem [06:18] terroh8er, how about try envy-qt, it will help you through [06:18] MasterNoob: What server(s) did you set up?

[06:19] ouyes: im a noob and im not familiar with that, but i'll check it out. thanks :) [06:20] terroh8er, ok [06:21] terroh8er, there is no gurrentee [06:21] terroh8er, sudo apt-get install envy-qt [06:21] terroh8er, sudo envy [06:22] terroh8er, follow the instructions gave by sudo envy [06:23] ouyes, thank you! is there a way to roll back the drivers if they fail or just do another reinstall? === Visor is now known as Bucast [06:24] ouyes, hmm.. it says cannot find envy-qt [06:24] terroh8er, of course there is ,but we do not know atm, just backup your data and reinstall the OS, [06:24] How can I figure out where all of my clutter is? I have 30g used, but only 4g in my home directory... Where's the rest and how can I get rid of it? === robertwall is now known as rww [06:25] ZoeyMarie: there's a disk usage reporting tool in your programs menu [06:26] terroh8er, ok , go to the system>admin(or p)>s.. software package, try to find envy === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [06:26] hateball: yeah, I tried that. It wouldn't show me where it was. So I just sudo du / and saw that /var is the culprit... now I have to figure out what the hell I can delete from there... [06:27] ZoeyMarie: Is this a desktop or server install? I mean, what sort of services do you have running? [06:27] hateball: i'ts desktop. [06:28] ZoeyMarie: what does this show? du -sh /var/cache/apt [06:29] ZoeyMarie: well, "du -h /var |sort" should give you a hint what's taking most space anyhow [06:29] ouyes, envyng-qt i assume? there's envyng-gtk and envyng-core as well [06:30] hateball: the -h flag and sort don't play well together :) [06:30] terroh8er, what version of ubuntu are you running? [06:30] 9.10 64 bit [06:31] brjann: I'm aware it sorts oddly, but it's sorted a bit at least ;b [06:31] terroh8er, gnome or xfce or kde? i mean the desktop envirnment [06:31] hateball: hehe, true [06:31] gnome [06:31] terroh8er, gtk [06:31] thanks :) [06:32] terroh8er, envyng(syspatic search) [06:32] hi [06:32] all [06:32] terroh8er, envyng-gtk [06:32] brjann: it didn't show much 300M maybe?... but looking at the whole directory... 22G of BACKUPS! :p *facepalm... /me goes to configure her backup software... [06:32] thanks y'all for the help. [06:33] ZoeyMarie: heh. better too many backups than too few! ;) [06:33] terroh8er, after install sudo envyng -t [06:34] ouyes, thanks so much! im there now === aiwata55_ is now known as aiwata55 [06:34] terroh8er, you have to chose which to install , it will take some time to download, remember no gurrentee [06:35] terroh8er, no guarantee, [06:35] terroh8er, good luck [06:35] ouyes, yes that's fine.. i wont be mad if i have to reinstall ubuntu :P but do you think its any difference between installing it on envyng vs doing it through hardware drivers? [06:36] terroh8er, i do not know , but it works for my case [06:36] ouyes, oh ok. thank you [06:37] this is probably a no brainer: but is there a way to drop into a shell during installing karmic? [06:37] terroh8er, give a try and tell me how things are going ? === goldenfox is now known as Guest62747 [06:38] eltweezo: i believe the installer will let you switch to a virtual console via ctrl+alt+f1, etc [06:38] ouyes, i will. im going to restart now.. if im not back on in 5 minutes then it didn't work :P [06:39] 'lo [06:39] alright, this is so trivial.. but what am I doing wrong? [06:39] brjann: yeppers, thanks! [06:39] eltweezo: sure thing :) [06:39] afmlegend@codygman:~/public_html/runningshoesreview.org$ cp reviewsproject reviewsenv [06:39] cp: omitting directory `reviewsproject' [06:39] this command: [06:39] cp reviewsproject reviewsenv [06:39] codygman: you have to tell it you want it to copy directories with the recursive flag, -r [06:39] cp -r reviewsproject if you are looking to copy all folders and files in the directory [06:39] returns: [06:39] cp: omitting directory `reviewsproject' === illusive_ is now known as illusive [06:40] thanks brjann and illusive! [06:40] No problem [06:40] ok, so one more thing: any way to do that during serial install? [06:40] couls someone help me configure x? it's been a while and damned if i cann't find xorg.conf [06:41] ouyes, it WORKED! thank you so much [06:41] eltweezo: serial install? as in, serial port tty? [06:41] in debian you used to be able to do ctrl-z and it would suspend the installer script [06:41] yea, tty [06:41] drachen you'll have to manually generate xorg.conf [06:41] kevin__, who are you ? [06:41] eltweezo: hm, that i don't know, it's been a long time since i've used a real tty ;) [06:41] alex aha, just want i was afraid of... === kevin__ is now known as terroh8er [06:41] ouyes, sorry, terroh8er.. envyng worked :) [06:42] brjann: yea me too... [06:42] terroh8er, you pc restarts fast [06:42] drachen: you don't need xorg.conf anymore unless you want to customize something [06:42] haha [06:42] Hai All,, command 'history -c' isn't working please help me .. [06:43] brijith, you can use the up arrow key?? [06:43] knoppies: yes [06:43] alex, i just installed and when it goes to load x instead i get an error from my monitor saying cannot display [06:43] knoppies: let me explain what I did .. [06:44] ha! figured out a way... if you cause an error it will give you a menu to execute a shell [06:44] brijith, I just "man history" and it doesnt seem as though -C is an option. What exactly is history -C supposed to do? [06:44] eltweezo: haha, creative :) [06:45] knoppies: it is to clear the history [06:45] knoppies: is -c not -C [06:45] just wish I knew how to get to that menu without causing an error [06:45] brijith: what do you mean by "isn't working?" what isn't it clearing? [06:45] alex, do you know another way to change the resolution x displays at from the outside? [06:45] knoppies: it's a bash built-in, try help history instead [06:46] yea, it shows -c there. Im not sure if I can help you. [06:47] brjann: usually when I use this command 'history -c' and exit the terminal. and take it again there won't be any thing in the history of bash, ie when I press up key nothing will come .... [06:47] brjann: But now its not clearing . [06:48] brijith, you tired restarting after issuing -c? [06:48] knoppies:yes [06:48] brijith, I wish I could help you. [06:48] brijith: you may also have to remove your history file, e.g. rm ~/.bash_history [06:49] knoppies:yes .. [06:49] after removing that file.. ? [06:49] knoppies:after removing that file.. ? [06:50] how do i reinstall kde in kubuntu? [06:50] brjann: after removing that file.. ? [06:50] brijith: that's not really a question... [06:50] brijith, I know nothing about the file, Im still relatively new to ubuntu. brjann suggested you remove the file. I recomend you rename it so that if you mess something up you can always rename it back/ [06:50] brjann:after removing that file .what to do ? [06:51] brijith: after removing that file, run history -c again, log out, log back in, and see if the history's gone. [06:51] Is there a way to 'downgrade' the GDM2 in 9.10 to the one used in 9.04. I miss the functionality and Im not too bothered about security issues. [06:51] brjann:I have already tried that yesterday [06:52] brijith: that would have been useful to know earlier :) === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [06:52] i dont have icons on my gnomenu can anyone help me fix it? [06:53] brjann: as you know the bash history is kept in that file. on removing that file will clear the history. That I know.. [06:53] shaullx, thats an option. I cant remember exactly where it is, give me a sec and I will look for it. [06:53] brjann:but usually 'history -c' is enough [06:54] brijith: there's nowhere else the history could be stored. unless you have multiple terminals open and are only clearing the history of one of them. [06:54] to com uma duvida.. eu to usando ubuntu server 9.10 em uma virtual machine VMware queria saber se consigo visualizar os arquivos do meu HD tipo montando o resto do meu HD [06:54] fiz uma particao de 30gb mais nao consigo reconhecer o resto do HD [06:54] tem como? [06:54] shaullx, System->Preference->appearance->Interface->Show icons in menu. [06:54] knoppies, its already checked [06:54] !pt | Dblack27 [06:54] Dblack27: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [06:54] shaullx, then Im not sure. Im going to assume you have icons for it in .icons? [06:55] knoppies well i did install few icon themes for it so i guess yeah [06:55] my apt-get is segfaulting! [06:55] non of them show any icons though [06:55] shaullx, you might want to try "gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type boolean true" [06:55] Hi, I have an incredibly newbish and embarrassing inquiry. I have a couple of .deb files sitting around in folders. How exactly do I, er, run these? [06:56] Springherself, double click [06:56] Springherself, make sure you have permission to run them (look up chmod if you dont know how), and then ./nameof.deb [06:56] what to do? [06:56] Springherself: double click on them, it should bring up the deb installer (make sure you dont have synaptic running) and just enter password [06:56] brjann:one thing I noticed is, when I run the command 'history -c' it clear the current terminal history,mean nothing is coming when I press up key. But when I close it and take a new terminal history will be there as before. [06:56] ZykoticK9 done still nothing, restart the gnomenu? [06:56] ...Man, I somehow missed that, thanks. [06:57] np [06:57] brijith: do you have any other terminals open? [06:57] shaullx, that should apply without restart actually - i have no idea man, best of luck. [06:57] no [06:57] brjann:no [06:57] thanks [06:57] the regular menu has icons though [06:58] brijith: i'm out of ideas, then, sorry :( [06:58] brjann:I far as I know the bash history is wrote to the .bash_history while we close a terminal [06:58] shaullx, try choosing a different icon theme, it might just be that the theme you are currently using doesnt have icons for those menus? [06:58] brijith: that's correct [06:58] shaullx, if thats the case, Then I recommend you 'mix and match' [06:58] Is there a way to 'downgrade' the GDM2 in 9.10 to the one used in 9.04 [06:58] knoppies i tried few others [06:58] non work [06:58] knoppies, nope [06:59] thanks indus [06:59] brjann:so when I execute history -c the .bash_history file must be cleared, even if there is any other terminal is in running [06:59] knoppies, :) not really helpful answer i know [06:59] indus, agreed, but its better than no answer. [06:59] shaullx, i'm so sorry - i thought you where talking about the Gnome Menu - i've never heard of gnomenu before - but that's certainly something totally different [06:59] brjann:right ? [06:59] brijith: no. the .bash_history file remains intact, unless you specifically erase it. history -c only erases the current session history. [07:00] knoppies, the gdm is tied up with a lot of things so i believe it wont be easy though it may be possible [07:00] brijith, that is correct [07:00] ZykoticK9 aw ok [07:00] delete the hidden file from home [07:00] not sure which though [07:01] indus, I actually want the old style of logging in back, Ive found some python scripts that bring back some functionality, but they not exactly what Im looking for. [07:01] brijith, delete that .bash_history contents, [07:01] brjann:usually what I felt is, when 'history -c' is executed the terminal opened there after will not be having any history. right ? === Ripp_ is now known as Ripp__ [07:02] brijith: that is not the case *unless* you specifically erase the .bash_history file. [07:02] knoppies, whats wrong with new gdm, [07:02] indus:but 'history -c' was the command that i use till yesterday [07:03] i installed gnome shell but cannot see any configuration utility for it... are there any config options can be specified...? [07:03] brjann:can just try it you system ... [07:03] brijith, well in some cases it doesnt clear , [07:03] brijith, in mine too history -c does it [07:04] # [07:04] brijith, its another setting somewhere probably [07:04] how to check network traffic inbound and outbound in kb from commandline? [07:04] indus: :( [07:04] brijith: my system behaves exactly as yours does. [07:04] brijith, why is it really important? [07:04] what can cause a server (I was the only user) to suddenly Broadcast message from root@Server /(unknown) at 0:54 .../The system is going down for power off NOW! The server then promptly shut down (I lost my SSH connection) [07:04] indus, I prefer where you dont have to click "log in" before logging in, where switches from username to password. And I would like to be able to use (pre-packaged) themes again. [07:05] knoppies, aah yes i miss the themes [07:05] knoppies, but i thnk those can be changed [07:05] brjann:ok . do you have bash history in our terminal now .. [07:05] ? [07:05] privet ersoy [07:05] indus, you can change the background and things, but not quite the same way you could in the old GDM. [07:05] knoppies, true i hear [07:06] knoppies, iam using lucid these days :) with some purple gdm [07:06] privet Ersoy [07:06] indus: yes its really important for me . [07:06] indus, Im hoping that as they develop it, these features trickle back. Maybe I should give lucid a try. [07:06] brijith, the FBI or police after you? :) [07:06] brijith, i forgot the setting to permanently clear it, and my internet is down so cant use google [07:07] lmgtfy.com [07:07] indus: :) [07:08] privet Effendi [07:08] brijith: maybe this will help explain a bit more. http://paste.ubuntu.com/391546/ [07:08] brijith, delete the bash history file [07:09] brijith, delete it . .bash_history and live happily ever after [07:09] demonspork: someone hit the power button? [07:09] brijith: you can see that my .bash_history file starts out at 16061 bytes. after i clear the history, my *session* history is empty, but my .bash_history file is *still* 16061 bytes. so when I log in again with bash, my history is back. [07:09] brijith, rm ~/.bash_history [07:10] indus: each time I have to delete it . [07:10] indus: it will automatically created when I take a terminal again [07:10] brijith: just run history -c && rm -f ~/.bash_history instead of just history -c and you should be fine. [07:10] brjann:hmm [07:10] brijith, ah yes that is a setting to not autocreat [07:11] maybe in rc.local [07:11] not sure though [07:11] indus:where is it ? [07:11] indus:Ok [07:11] brijith, no never mind [07:12] brijith,please ask in #bash they will help you [07:13] hello guys how do i add something to my PATH ? [07:13] hey does anyone wanna talk to a single 19 tx m blonde hair blue eyes press 222 [07:13] indus: brjann: what you guys think, will it work if I add a line like rm .bash_history in .bash_logout [07:14] vagvaf_:what you want to add in to your path? [07:14] indus:Ok thanks :) [07:14] im trying to move a folder into root but it says access denied.... how can i overturn this? [07:15] brijith: i installed FWTools , and it says to add ~/FWTools/bin_safe to my PATH [07:15] i mean move a file [07:15] eeeekyellowsnow: use sudo mv [07:15] Cyclope: thx will try that now [07:17] hi, what lucid lynx usd version dhcp ? so usually disconnect internet ? === denis-k_ is now known as denis-k [07:18] on my ubuntu server, should I chown my users directory so I don't have to use sudo just to write files? [07:18] Hello. I hace a client-server application and I want to see what messages are passing via TCP. How can I do? [07:18] netstat i think crazy2k [07:19] That or Wireshark [07:19] or any sniffer [07:19] crazy2k: else try iptraf, you'll need root access in either cases [07:19] Wireshark has TONS of options [07:21] codygman: you should have full access to your home dir [07:23] Hi all, I am having a hard time getting my brother MFC-440CN printer/scan working with ubuntu 9.10 and I have tried the howtos found in the forums to no avail. It receives data but doesnt print and sends data but doesnt scan. [07:24] Can anyone help please? [07:25] jdv: have you installed the brother-cups-wrapper-bh7 package? [07:25] brjann let me check [07:25] brjann no.. I shall? [07:26] jdv: that'd be a place to start, at least for printing. i don't have any knowledge of scanning functionality though, sorry [07:26] Would say the ubuntu or linux supports all, most or some of the different webcams on the market [07:26] has any fixed ? amx_x64 and deluge-gtk 1.2.1 [07:26] brjann I did follow the brother.com and ubuntuforums guides on it but they didnt mention that.

[08:11] what is the difference between the two? [08:13] listedaswanted: if you put them in /usr/share/icons, any user on your system can use them./ [08:13] If they're in ~/.icons, only your user will be able to use tham [08:13] since other users can't use items that are inside your home folder [08:23] is there anyone that can help me out with this problem?

[08:31] HangukMiguk: Hmm. no idea, I haven't used that before [08:32] hi there, how can I know if a package comes by default in Ubuntu? [08:32] theadmin: because the system hashes anything you input into the password field and nothing that is hashed will ever equal "!" so there's no way to get the password [08:33] theadmin: enter pass, system hashes it, checks it against /etc/sudoers, nothing can ever hash out to "!" [08:34] my ubuntu one client stopped working after recent update, i tried everyting i could but not able 2 get it working...pls help [08:34] ardchoille: Yeah i know, hashes are all like "71515835jaflajqoirjhqvsoljf1859" [08:34] theadmin: exactly [08:36] ardchoille: yeah, we seem to have the same settings in our .conkyrc's, so i don't think it's a problem with conky per se. thanks anyway [08:37] HangukMiguk: ah, ok [08:38] hello pls somebody help me with my ubuntu one client [08:42] How can I add my dropbox folder to the places menu pls???

[09:13] well hopefully everything will work for me [09:14] rww: #ubuntu-netbook seems to be registered, but it's empty [09:15] rww: I think the channel for UNR is #ubuntu-mobile (but I'm not 100% certain on that) === Guest61453 is now known as yeti [09:15] harisund: I found it THE plugins, but what is the name? [09:15] DJones: thanks, there seems to be people there [09:15] i was having this weird problem with my laptop over heating from Flash player which is my only big issue at the moment, so hopefully upgrading everything will fix that [09:16] DJones: "he MobileTeam is responsible for UNR and the ARM flavours of Ubuntu. " it's the right one [09:16] kittenjaugar: Join Part Hiding [09:16] harisund: Thanks, thank you VERY much [09:16] :) [09:17] harisund: : ) [09:17] anyone use a tablet with linux? Im interested in current software like onscreen keyboard and note taking software. The most recent articles I can find compare software from 06 [09:17] Anyone knows how to see windows that are larger than screen resolution? I am using a EEE PC and screen resolution is 1024x600, but some windows are longer than 600 pixels .. any ideas? [09:18] fmasjifa: I have some experience. In my opinion, nothing beats Microsoft OneNote, too bad it doesnt' run on Linux. But otherwise, there are some softwares.. Jarnal and Xournal take notes, CellWriter is an on screen keyboard [09:18] !maximus | harisund [09:18] hello every body can any body on this network can help me how to set up wifi network sharing from ubuntu to windows macine... and from ubuntu to ubuntu macine ... any help would be of great help [09:18] I am used to one note. Primarily I have a microsoft tablet experience, so I was looking for similar experience to the onescreen keyboard and one note :) [09:18] It is nice ;) [09:18] harisund: https://launchpad.net/maximus [09:19] maybe I should try win7 on it then. [09:19] fmasjifa: I know it's blasphemy, but I am very impressed with Win 7 Tablet features [09:19] What in particular? === madagu_ is now known as MadAGu [09:19] Not here, I will message you [09:20] Does SELinux really make a diffrence in system security? [09:20] Aciid: it doesn't do what I want..the page you linked says " [09:20] Dagon: yes [09:20] Created for netbook environments where normally every window is maximised" <-- I don't believe netbooks everything should be maximised and this is not a regular aplication window (aciid) [09:22] Ikonia: Thank you [09:22] Hey, just a question about irssi; so yeti (who is in this channel), doesn't have an "Act" item on his menu. Apparently using alt+ to change active channel doesn't do anything. Anyone know of any fixes? [09:23] Oh....I enter /quit in another channel and quit #ubuntu as well.........strange.... [09:23] kittenjaugar: /quit closes your client, so... yes [09:23] kittenjaugar: You need to do /part to leave a channel, /quit is server quit [09:24] chu_: Does /window work? [09:24] chu_: Possibly the terminal program he's using is interfering. Try pressing the Escape key, then the number. [09:24] harisund: rww: thank you....*KISS* === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [09:24] chu_: "esc"- [09:25] they reckon i disconnect from the server and channel [09:25] rww, so upgrading in Linux isn't like reformatting for a new operating system, right? So do I have to reconfigure my settings when it's done? or reinstall programs like Google Chrome and stuff? === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [09:26] RyR88: Assuming everything goes well, your settings and programs will still be there. Updating tends to disable PPAs, so you might want to check that in Software Sources afterwards (since I assume you're using one for Chrome). [09:26] Upgrading ** [09:27] rww, PPA? [09:27] RyR88: yes....but some WEB sites suggest a CLEAN installl [09:27] RyR88: clean install will avoid dependence problem [09:28] i'll try exititng and coming back again [09:28] RyR88: Personal Package Archive. At some point, you added one, since you got error messages about it earlier... They're the mini-repositories hosted on Launchpad. [09:28] rww, updating disables ppa's? what are you saying, [09:28] rww, i have some and they work fine [09:29] upgrading [09:29] I'm going from 8.10 to 9.04, then 9.10 [09:29] indus: The program that upgrades from one release of Ubuntu to another tends to disable third-party repositories, including PPAs. [09:29] rww, ah dist upgrade [09:29] I really wish people would stop calling it that :( [09:30] So, the evidence suggests that yeti *can* change his active channel - he just typed some messages in here (which were directed to me, sorry). However, apparently nothing is changing on his side.... [09:30] rww, dist-upgrade [09:31] indus: apt-get dist-upgrade, from whence that term comes, hasn't been a supported method for upgrading Ubuntu for several releases. Using it just confuses users. [09:31] rww, update-manager - d? [09:32] O.o [09:32] indus: The -d option to update-manager upgrades to unreleased development versions. The supported way of upgrading is with update-manager (which will prompt you) or do-release-upgrade [09:32] rww, ok [09:32] ubottu: upgrade | indus [09:32] indus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [09:32] rww, dont blame me , i didnt suggest it :) [09:32] !ops | Agrajag- connection problems [09:32] Agrajag- connection problems: Help!

[09:44] Should I also remove the headers? [09:44] (so permanent, is restart required, or login, karmic server, no not man / info / google) [09:45] Penquite, you most likely dont need them anymore. you need headers just for building own kernel-space stuff like drivers [09:45] I've set it in the /etc/security/limits.conf [09:45] Thanks nibbler__ [09:45] but doesn't work, I disconnect from sevrer, re-login and nothing [09:45] but doesn't work, I disconnect from sevrer, re-login and nothing [09:45] Shirkia, nice [09:45] Shirkia, nice [09:46] !ops | Shirkia (Repeat bot) [09:46] !ops | Shirkia (Repeat bot) [09:46] Shirkia (Repeat bot): Help!

I suggest doing a normal install from a flash drive. WUBI installs to a 'file' on the C: drive. I dont reccomend that type of install either. [12:37] cboyer195: do you have 2 hard drives? or one hard drive thats just partioned? [12:37] ok, thank you, I've tried wubi, but it complains looking for a cd in drive, I have none, I just have an iso [12:37] cboyer195: Put the ISO in same folder as WUBI before starting it [12:37] dinosaurvskitten: Try disabling Options > Sound Devices > Allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels [12:37] I have my c:\windows\vista drive, sdb0, 150GB, and sda0, 300 GB, I want Ubuntu on the 2nd drive [12:38] ineverexist, ? [12:38] eoke, that's already off [12:38] cboyer195: then i suggest you get a flash drive and make a bootable flash drive for an installer [12:38] Does anyone know the font used in Ubuntus new logo? [12:39] Lathund_: i think its called 'ubuntu' and i recall its a work in progress. not all letters are done [12:39] does someone know how to set a MPI 2 up? I am trying to compile a program that cannot find the default mpi2 [12:39] Lathund_: some ubuntu news sites mentioned that last week [12:39] !wubi [12:39] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [12:39] ok, then I'll wait until I can afford a flash drive or RW DVD disks [12:39] Dr_Willis: Thanks. [12:39] beers: install the mpi dev packagesd [12:39] cboyer195: dvd? why not cd? [12:39] eoke, and it's pretty much the only potential fix I managed to find when searching for my problem on the web [12:39] cd image is only 700, and the iso's are larger, aren't they? [12:40] to convert Wubi to a normal, dedicated installation => http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [12:40] Lathund_: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/308 apparently it's new and going to be simply called Ubuntu [12:40] (i have not tried this) [12:40] cboyer195: in theory you could boot the unetbootin installed system and start the installer.. and install to a diffrent partiton. but thats a bit. weird. and may cause some issues and you should know wht you are doing [12:40] cboyer195: Not that i noticed? what did you download exactly? [12:40] Stargaze, I will try lvpm, and if that does not work, then I'll use the flash drive or disks [12:40] dinosaurvskitten: I tend to use SIP, so I'm not going to be any help I'm afraid.

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:45] well, i'm going to try I will try lvpm, and if that does not work, then I'll use the flash drive or disks, thanks Dr_Willis, Stargaze, theadmin [12:46] i appreciate your guys time and experience, advice [12:46] Stargaze: what boot manager does karmic use? [12:47] grub2 [12:47] Stargaze: cool, i had remembered something showing "grub" so I was thinking hmmm [12:47] i want to know something about "personas" in ff 3.6 [12:47] does anyone know how to increase the time to wait forr boot device in grub 2? [12:48] is it possible to wear a persona with a different theme? [12:48] !grub| cederlov [12:48] cederlov: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:48] cederlov: /etc/default/grub -> then update-grub [12:48] i downloaded a linux iso image through torrent (1.5gb)( in multiple sessions ). but by mistake in 1 session mounted partitions in wrong order so i see the file at two places both are incomplete . cannot merge them : 2GB ram ( memory exhausted ) any other way than redownload ? [12:49] sam_sam: no [12:49] what about personas in ff 3.6? [12:49] cederlov, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change the timeout [12:49] Stargaze: do not edit that file [12:49] -> /etc/default/grub [12:50] NEVER edit that file with grub 2 [12:50] fabio333: whats your question about personas? [12:50] looks like on the left menus is taking a huge beating http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/ [12:51] so /boot/grub.cfg it is. [12:51] i see personas only with the default theme... but if i use the strata theme es. the persona disappear. [12:51] cederlov: you dont edit that file. You edit the /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/### files [12:51] cederlov: remember sudo update-grub [12:52] fabio333: how old are the favbio333 themes? [12:52] fabio333, i followed your advice, tnx [12:52] is it the GRUB_TIMEOUT that controls the wailt for boot device? [12:52] fabio333: that theme probably doesn't support personas or they can't mix [12:53] thunsucker: ff 3.6 not old [12:53] brb, testing grub [12:53] thunsucker: maybe no theme works with personas on [12:54] has somebody ever seen the "appearance preferences" not listing any themes besides "custom" (and a solution to it). It also displays a warning about missing human theme (but i just re-installed it and was there before, too) [12:54] fabio333: thats what i was getting at, second reading something about them [12:54] ubottu: lost grub after update ubuntu, i`ve install ubuntu on windows xp with wubi [12:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:54] fabio333: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/free-software-downloads/firefox-personas/ [12:54] fabio333: i'm not using FF anymore, slow slow slow compared to chrome [12:55] thunsucker: i know several hacks about chrome [12:55] like the hidden commands those lazy ass vever documented [12:56] fabio333: you mean the same kind of commands firefox has? or similiar [12:56] just open it with an hex editor you will see a lot of hidden features [12:56] don't they call them easter eggs ? [12:56] lol [12:56] yeah [12:56] fabio333: wouldn't it be easier to read the source? [12:56] chrome is closed source [12:56] you mean chromium? [12:56] fabio333: chromium isn't [12:57] fabio333: i've used firefox exclusively for years [12:57] fabio333: but chrome is simply faster for now [12:57] jrib: buth chrome is [12:57] you can disable disk cache or ipv6, stuff like that. [12:57] fabio333: are these hidden features unique to chrome? [12:58] jrib: not sure [12:58] never used chromium [12:58] try chrome://net-internals/ in the address bar [12:59] or chrome://net-internals/view-cache [12:59] fabio333: I think chrome is basically just a rebranding of chromium, or at least that's how it looks [12:59] well I dropped chrome/chromium last week..fast but not as configurable.. firefox on a decent system is fast enough [12:59] coz_: I just write my own browser! [13:00] jrib, sure that works well especially with wekit [13:01] coz_: webkit + v8 engine is the best tecnology out there [13:01] but i prefer ff. [13:01] see lateer [13:01] fabio333, yeah I use firefox...it does waht its suppose to :) [13:01] Can I change the character-set used when I use ssh to connect to a server?

[13:24] Brandano: yes, create a group and chmod pppd to 755 and then add the user to the group. Then make the group the owner of the file. Or add the user to the file's current group. [13:24] do i need them? [13:24] i doubt it since itw just a document [13:24] right? [13:24] it's not just a document [13:24] hmm [13:25] vi the file, x[x] [13:25] vi?

[13:35] pbureau: its required by wnware [13:35] pbureau: i had issues with gimp drawing circles/boxes with text inside and having that move as an object instead of just moving the whole layer. i'd end up with tons of layers. at least it seems much more clunky than i'd hope for this task [13:36] goodbyle [13:36] radeon hd 5740 [13:36] hydester: sorry what I sue.

I am wondering if there is any way to install that in Ubuntu 9.10 [13:37] Quick question re: Ubuntu Server 9.04, "apt-get upgrade" shows several packages being held back including kernel. I'm assuming apt-get has a configuration file somewhere where its holding these files back. Any idea where?? [13:37] i have been trying since 10 pm last night to get catalyst 10-2 for linux to work [13:38] hunterburns, out of curiosity did you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:38] SpaceGhostC2C: Ok :P, let me rephrase my question, is there any other pdf viewer for ubuntu other than okular, evince(which I think is the same with kpdf?), xpdf, acrobat reader and GV(found it through your link)? [13:38] ubuntu_, could you tell us about your "backup" , how it was done [13:38] huntsville: somewhere in /etc/apt/preferences.d [13:38] ATI, software manager - search ATI - install that [13:38] keeps saying no video driver is installed [13:38] I copyed all my home partition to another partition [13:38] monra: try bestbots it should have a long list.

After a recent update my gamepad is used to move the mouse pointer in X11. Because I want to play games with it, I want to disable this behavior without disabling the whole gamepad. Anyone here who can help? [13:39] ripthejacker: search for getlibs and run it you /directory/wmware and it will find the missing libs for you [13:39] ATI, I am assuming ati by your nick but which card specifically lspci | grep -i vga [13:39] radeon hd 5740 [13:39] ubuntu_, ok so i think the first thing to do would be to work out the user id number that owns the files on your backup. [13:39] theadmin, there is no preferences.d directory by default on 9.04 :) [13:39] ok, what can i do? [13:39] ATI, ok you may want to speak with soreau about that particular card and which driver can be used with it [13:39] ATI, hi [13:39] huntsville: Ah, sorry, i'm on Karmic [13:40] ATI, For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [13:40] ubuntu_, (theoretically this should be the user id number of the user you have for the installation you have running sans home folder.) [13:40] pbureau: i am installing wmware [13:40] ATI, i dont think it will work with your card [13:40] SpaceGhostC2C: what will that command do . i have the text file open .. it appears to be alot of copieDG and copieG and so on [13:40] conn dropped [13:40] ubuntu_, what is the status of the 'home' partition at this point ?

I see ubottu's message, I don't want to take a poll on which is the best pdf viewer. I'm just found out that when printing with evince I can print in my duplex printer with bad quality, and with okular I can print good quality but NOT duplex. So I was searching for another pdf viewer to both print in duplex anf have good quality. Thank you anyway [13:41] ripthejacker, hmm dont remember [13:41] i copied the files back to the "home" partition after formating it [13:41] ripthejacker, from where [13:41] indus_: remember the mallu from mumbai [13:41] Ati , Application - software center - search fopr ATI, install that driver [13:41] ripthejacker, aah yes [13:41] ubuntu_, and you did this with a live cd i presume ?

[13:42] wait did you instakll the DRIVER or ATI catalyst ? [13:42] i cant find version.h header file required by vmware installation [13:42] How do i switch my IP? [13:43] it's dynamic [13:43] ubuntu_, ok from my limited experience with this scenario i believe the issue is that the user id doesn not match. and that there are several inconsistancies with the current home partition... does fstab specify that /home is to be mounted on your 'home' partition ? [13:43] i checked in the folder and the file is actually missing [13:43] ati catalyst [13:43] DJones: I've tried that also.

[13:45] e/quit [13:45] ubuntu_, 1) get a list of the partitions with : sudo fdisk -l and identify the partition that you recently formatted.note down the address which would like "/dev/something" 2) check the /etc/fstab file... you can do this with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and look at the line which talks about mounting /home...does it point to the same address you found in step one ?

I mean more than what you are allowed already if you are a member of the group [13:50] SpaceGhostC2C: s/he's trying/was trying/ [13:51] ubuntu_, so fstab has /home setup to mount on your desired partition ? [13:51] yes [13:51] ubuntu_, so far so good.

[13:51] ubuntu_, so next step is the check the user id numbers [13:51] airtonix: there was no reason for it to change... [13:51] pbureau, any idea? [13:51] ubuntu_, of course... but we all need to be 'on the same page' just so there is no misunderstandings [13:51] ubuntudualboot: then possibly clarify.

[14:05] ubuntu_, the uid will be the 3rd coloumn the 4th coloumn should be the gid of that user [14:05] rodolfo_: you can use sudo [14:05] hi [14:05] erUSUL: isn't the best way to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server ? [14:05] hi [14:05] !hi [14:05] usernet: Run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup", and install "dkms" in order to avoid this in future [14:05] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [14:05] SpaceGhostC2C, yeah, but I dont know the command to create/edit a file on terminal [14:05] *console [14:06] rodolfo_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:06] SpaceGhostC2C: that gives a practiacally empty xorg.conf this days afaik [14:06] rodolfo_: if you need to make a file you can just use your editor. I prefer vim, but there are many. [14:06] SpaceGhostC2C: hi [14:06] SpaceGhostC2C: but yous you can do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [14:06] erUSUL: what does that do? the -phigh. [14:07] rodolfo_: stand by it is a known bug in ubuntu [14:07] rodolfo_: You can edit files with vi or nano, to just create an empty file, use touch [14:07] rodolfo_: searching for resolution [14:07] where do i find the directory for my terminal? [14:07] SpaceGhostC2C: autodetect most things. (it will not ask anything) [14:07] kmahl: pwd ? [14:07] is there someone who can help me with $HOME/.asoundrc [14:07] I can't see my "virtual" device in jack [14:07] hi everyone [14:07] how can I enable twinview on this machine, hardy heron [14:07] ? [14:07] kmahl: Hm, let me see, i think "which $TERM" would give it to you [14:07] what file should i edit to change my regular users umask to 0002 in /etc/X11/Xsession.d ? or should i make my own file? [14:07] l3ns: nvidia-settings ? [14:08] l3ns: you have to use the nvidia restricted drivers [14:08] l3ns: i always install nvidia drivers and use the nvidia-settings tool [14:08] !twinview > l3ns [14:08] l3ns, please see my private message [14:08] hm, what repo package do i need to install to get all the mono libraries? [14:08] rodolfo_: or you can do something advanced and use cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf < AndyGraybeal: ~/.profile [14:08] !hardy [14:08] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [14:08] erUSUL: i thought the ~/.profile wasn't read by gnome? [14:08] er.. gdm [14:08] or something [14:08] AndyGraybeal: It's read on log in to GNOME, so it is [14:08] erUSUL: iv'e been reading that i should set it in Xsessions.d .. i have ubuntu 8.10 [14:08] AndyGraybeal: not really sure... work from cli most of the time ;) [14:08] SpaceGhostC2C: i can't use the live CD because im installing a fully encrypted dualboot system [14:09] AndyGraybeal: that would do it for all users perhaps. that may or may not be what you want [14:09] ok, i created the xorg.conf file. I should restart the system now [14:09] rodolfo_: or just restart X [14:09] i mean is there an executable file this terminal, like in windows? [14:09] how to "print" or merge a bunch of png image files into a single pdf file? any free software in the ubuntu repo? thanks [14:09] erUSUL: where can I see the nvidia-settings tool? [14:09] really? how? [14:09] SpaceGhostC2C: do you have any other suggestions? [14:09] i have problem with " shift" keyboard when i upgrade gnome 2.28 [14:09] can you help me [14:09] rodolfo_: sudo service gdm restart (is one way) [14:09] is it possible to install a ppa package that is built for Lucid on Karmic? https://launchpad.net/~jdub/+archive/devel [14:09] ^^ [14:09] ubuntudualboot: reinstall with the livecd. [14:09] l3ns: if it is installed is in System>Preferences>Nvidia-settings [14:10] SpaceGhostC2C: i can't use the live CD because im installing a fully encrypted dualboot system [14:10] ubuntudualboot: unless you can't. [14:10] Davedan: that can break things badly if it even works [14:10] l3ns: but to make permanent changes run it as root « gksudo nvidia-settings » [14:10] Hm. "echo $(lsb-release --short --codename)" should return "karmic" on a karmic box, right? [14:10] Dr_Willis thanks [14:10] airtonix: http://pastebin.com/PYcs4msd [14:10] ubuntudualboot: you think there's security there? Hmm. Well, then... No, I have no answer for you. [14:10] erUSUL: i'm using now the laptop which is 14", and I attached it to a 21" lcd.. [14:10] SpaceGhostC2C: apparently my trouble is caused by the fact that the standard user is not a member of the "dip" group. Indeed, no user is, and there's already a couple of bug reports about it in launchpad [14:10] theadmin: is lsb_release [14:10] erUSUL: oopsie [14:11] can you help me, i dont use shift keyboard when i upgrade Gnome sell 2.29 :(? [14:11] is the terminal in ubuntu a file that i can execute like in windows? [14:11] kmahl: Kinda [14:11] where do i find this file? [14:11] today: your question doesn't make any sense. [14:11] kmahl: It is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal normally [14:11] kmahl: gnome-terminal ? there are a lot of terminal emulators and a few shells to choose from [14:11] thanx [14:11] !gksudo > kmahl [14:11] kmahl, please see my private message [14:11] so I can just give the "dialup" group permission to execute wvdial (and wvdial only!) and should be set [14:12] kmahl: ubuntu uses gnome-terminal + bash [14:12] SpaceGhostC2C: i dont understan what you say [14:12] ubuntu_, hmm and you made that backup via a command such as : cp /home /media/MyFiles ? [14:12] Brandano: that way, no root permissions are needed. [14:12] no through dolphin [14:12] kan i write gnome-terminal --version to find out what version i have of the terminal? [14:12] i relly want to how we can fix my error [14:12] today: your question. It does not make sense. [14:12] airtonix: no through dolphin [14:12] ubuntu_, ah so you dragged the /home folder into your backup drive ? [14:12] erUSUL: by default :) [14:12] yes [14:12] SpaceGhostC2C: were you going to explain to me why that's not secure or is it off topic if *I* ask about it? [14:13] okay, so "echo $(lsb_release --short --codename) main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/somerepo" looks fine, right? [14:13] kmahl: try it and see [14:13] SpaceGhostC2C: right [14:13] Entrez le texte ici...hola [14:13] ubuntudualboot: Not here. It's got some fallacies that make the whole thing pointless to encrypt / I encrypt /home sometimes, but not for my main machine, which is secure. [14:13] ola [14:14] theadmin: no it lacks the rest of the repo line deb http://whatevermirror.somehost.com/blah [14:14] ola? [14:14] uhm, when i upgrade Gnome shell 2.29, i dont use "shift keyboard" [14:14] como estas [14:14] Empoyona Hell [14:14] Empoyona: hi; wellcome to ubuntu support channel [14:14] hello [14:14] erUSUL: Yeah, forgot that %) [14:14] SpaceGhostC2C: could you please clarify "not here"? [14:14] guys ... how to install mysql under ubuntu please ? [14:14] airtonix: how can i fix it? [14:14] MixLaToR: sudo aptitude install mysql-server [14:14] !lamp > MixLaToR [14:14] MixLaToR, please see my private message [14:14] erUSUL, thanks. [14:14] MixLaToR: may i suggest to install LAMP altogether? Would be a better idea [14:14] ubuntudualboot: no. You want a encrypted system, that's your call. I can't help you with it. Sorry. [14:15] theadmin, i want just mysql [14:15] ubuntu_, i dont think we need the home folder we created on your home partition... im thinking just copy that nikolas folder on there. (which is probably what you did in the first place ) [14:15] MixLaToR: just mysql? No apache or php? [14:15] MixLaToR: Well, okay, then do what erUSUL said [14:15] theadmin: Makefile:147: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel [14:15] . Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again. Stop [14:15] how do I stop a user from logging into KDE? [14:15] SpaceGhostC2C: can you help me [14:15] today: no. Sorry. [14:15] airtonix: yes i did and it didn't work. is there a way i can fix it please? [14:16] SpaceGhostC2C: I apologise but, I'm very confused as to what you're trying to tell me. [14:16] sluxor: what do you want them to log into? [14:16] ubuntu_, but you'd still need to make sure that the uid of the folders you copy have the uid of the nikolas user on the system [14:16] you wellcome [14:16] SpaceGhostC2C, theadmin i installed them one by one [14:16] Well I just want them to not be able to log in via KDM [14:16] ubuntudualboot: I am saying that encryption is silly, that's all. [14:16] sluxor: Try "sudo usermod -L username" to lock the account [14:16] but to be able to log in via say SSH [14:16] airtonix: can you please guide me through that? [14:16] Does upgrading mysql change the apparmor.d profile as part of the 'configure' step? [14:16] SpaceGhostC2C: ok [14:16] MixLaToR: are you wanting to make a lamp stack? [14:16] yep thanx but I need to allow them to login in other ways [14:16] sluxor: you dont want them to be able to sit down and login to the machine locally? [14:16] no [14:17] remotely only [14:17] Lock the door. :) [14:17] via ssh and ftp [14:17] lol [14:17] sluxor: If you want to disable KDE login only, i think you can do so via KDE's control tools... kuser, to be specifically [14:17] SpaceGhostC2C, no idea .. [14:17] sluxor: Physically lock things down. [14:17] Dr_Willis: or remove teh keyboard [14:17] MixLaToR: what is it for? [14:17] Dr_Willis: okay, thank you [14:17] erUSUL, i've forgotten how to determine the UID of a user on a system when looking at said system from a livecd... a home folder needs to be restored from a simple cp type backup which didn't preserve user id and permissions... [14:17] lack: compiling from source ? [14:17] MixLaToR: a website? === don is now known as Guest25509 [14:17] how do I restart the X server? [14:17] ok I got an easy one for you all [14:17] pbureau: yep. i was going to say that also.. :) I cant imagine why its that big a deal. [14:17] l3ns: sudo service gdm restart (is one way) [14:17] SpaceGhostC2C, I'd love to but my landlord wouldnt appreciate locks on the bedroom door. [14:17] airtonix: look into the /etc/passwd file ? [14:17] lol [14:17] !ask Guest25509 [14:18] where the hell does Ubuntu store the Places Menu? [14:18] erUSUL, cheers [14:18] I want to back it up [14:18] SpaceGhostC2C, just testing some views.. [14:18] airtonix: no problem [14:18] from command line [14:18] sluxor: you need a new landlord. [14:18] sluxor: trying to prevent roomates to use the box then ? [14:18] Hello, I'm back. I created a xorg.conf with this content http://www.pastebin.org/107404 and now I can have 1024x768 resolution. But I still want 1280x800, anyone got any idea? [14:18] Guest25509: you mean the extra added bookmarks? or the actual default values? what are you wanting to do with it exactly? [14:18] I created it on /etc/x11/ [14:18] Guest25509: It's dynamic. It is generated from all devices connected, your nautilus bookmarks, and all the FTP and shares you're connected to. [14:18] MixLaToR: what is the purpose? Are you just playing with databases? [14:19] rodolfo_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/301958 its a known bug, "tpurch' is working on it [14:19] ubuntu_, try this to find the uid of your user on the system : cat /etc/passwd | grep nikolas [14:19] am I showing up as Guest25509? [14:19] Guest25509: Yes [14:19] Guest25509: yes :) [14:19] ok [14:19] Guest25509: try asking without being offensive. [14:19] ubuntu_, assuming you have the root partition mounted [14:19] I want to give them access via FTP/SSH but not directly [14:19] :P [14:19] ola [14:19] its so they wouldnt waste time on facebook when we're supposed to head out to the clubs [14:19] jaja [14:19] sluxor: door locks are the only way to make sure they don't use your machine. [14:19] but if I add locations to my places menu won't that be stored somewhere? [14:19] sluxor: yea.. good reason.... [14:19] sluxor: why not just block facebook. [14:19] rodolfo_: in line 39 instead of "vesa" put "sis" [14:19] 'Morning [14:20] Guest25509: How? Bookmarking is the only way known to me [14:20] SpaceGhostC2C, something like that :D ...i wont store all the stuffs here in my laptop...coz the great part is in the deskop PC with windows...some i'm wondering how it's under linux... [14:20] sluxor: so lock pc with password... (ie log in with your id and lock screen saver requires password) [14:20] because they'l find another social networking site to do it on [14:20] lol [14:20] Yes, bookmarking [14:20] SpaceGhostC2C: encasing in concrete works too [14:20] where are they stored? [14:20] if i have to change the permission on my script so that i can run it, what do you think that means? [14:20] Guest25509: Hm, nautilus... let me dig into it [14:20] ubuntu_, if you don't have the root partition of your real system mounted then that command wont return anything... i suggest mounting it on /media/oldroot then running : cat /media/oldroot/etc/passwd | grep nikolas [14:20] sluxor: if they can get to your computer, they can just use ssh to connect and view facebook through your machine. If you don't want them on the machine, lock the door. Don't give them physical access. [14:20] Guest25509: the actual bookmarks - theres a bookmark manager, or you can use the sidebar in the fule manager to add/delet them [14:20] Brandano: that's only for systems you don't want to deal with again. [14:21] I am aware but I want to find the folder they are stored in [14:21] one last question...how to make my windows 7 boot first ? [14:21] I want to make a copy [14:21] SpaceGhostC2C: Or for thos systems that didn't get the hint until it was to late. :) [14:21] MixLaToR: if you want only mysql, as in nothing but mysql sudo apt-get install mysql-server [14:21] Guest25509: they are not in a folder. they are gconf file settings i belive [14:21] SpaceGhostC2C, i get it man..cheers [14:22] I have a supermicro server with dual xeon 5405 2 ghz. I have vt turned on in the bios yet Ubuntu says VT is not supported. any one has seens this before?> === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [14:22] ubuntu_, you should get a line like : USERNAME:x:1000:1000:YOURNAME,,,:/home/USERNAME:/bin/bash (all captials words replaced with your username) [14:22] Guest25509: Aha, found it. $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks [14:22] one last question...how do i make win 7 as the default system to boot from ? [14:22] airtonix: http://pastebin.com/X5iskCJx [14:22] pbureau, thanks for the link! erUSUL, ok did it, Im going to restart now. [14:22] Guest25509: Be aware that it's not a folder, but a file [14:22] and why do i have to write chmod u+x filename.sh to be able to test it in the terminal ? [14:22] kmahl: normal behavior. you have to explicity give execute perms in unix (not like in windows that anything ending in .exe can be executed) [14:22] rodolfo_: you only need to restart X [14:22] thanks theadmin [14:22] let me look [14:22] airtonix: now what? [14:23] MixLaToR: if you're using grub 2, IDK https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:23] is there any way to disable users that exist on the system and arent locked from logging into the machine via KDM? [14:23] thats all i really want [14:23] MixLaToR: install Win7 at last...may works??? [14:23] ubuntu_, ok so in your home partition is there only your users folder? or is there the lost+found folder too ? [14:23] my friends arent smart enough to use SSH forwarding [14:23] lol [14:23] KDM --help maybe sluxor ? [14:23] kittenjaugar, hmmm ? [14:23] yes. But there is many ways for your friends to use the machine anyways. [14:23] sluxor: restart and boot into safe mode. They can use it. [14:23] erUSUL, I am doing this: "sudo service gdm restart" isnt it right? [14:24] airtonix: the lost + found too [14:24] ubuntu_, try removing that as root maybe [14:24] rodolfo_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [14:24] sluxor: just ssh in and forece the machine to reboot if you want them off it. [14:24] kmahl: incidentally, windows will attempt to execute everything with an .exe, .com, .bat, .cmd, .pif (and possibly .vb and .js) extension. Including "picture.jpg .exe" [14:24] MixLaToR: Install win7 at last will override mbr, but as a ubuntu user, I don't suggest that.. [14:24] is that what it means? with changing permision chmod u+x? [14:24] Is the winkey actually of ANY use on Ubuntu? [14:24] in the previous version of ubuntu ...we can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst...but that's not the case here in karmic .. [14:24] airtonix: i have already removed both as you told me to do bedore [14:24] so careful with the double click on mail attachments [14:24] i guess Dr_Willis thanx for the help man [14:24] theadmin: its the 'super' key and used by compiz a in a great many places [14:24] kittenjaugar, what's done is done...i installed ubuntu last [14:25] MixLaToR: It is grub.conf now or sumthing [14:25] OK! [14:25] now that is service [14:25] Dr_Willis: Like? [14:25] now one more [14:25] theadmin, nope... [14:25] airtonix: so my /home partition is empty now [14:25] hello [14:25] kittenjaugar: then he can't use ubuntu. He needs to configure grub to set windows as the default selection. [14:25] !grub [14:25] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [14:25] theadmin: check out compiz and all its features.. super+Mousewheel is zoom in/out - thats about all i rember off hand [14:25] hello! [14:25] rodolfo_: in karmic that does not work. do « sudo restart gdm » [14:25] !botabuse > MixLaToR [14:25] MixLaToR, please see my private message [14:25] rodolfo_: or alt + sysrq + k [14:25] erUSUL: chuckles he would of rebooted and been back by now... [14:25] ubuntu_, ah ok cp the nikolas folder from your backup to the home partition [14:25] err.. its 'sudo service gdm restart' i think [14:26] SpaceGhostC2C, ok [14:26] Dr_Willis: Well, meh, don't like Compiz really, it's all hungry [14:26] SpaceGhostC2C: Nod...let's configure grub.conf,and chainloader +1 [14:26] I created a folder inside the main menu called remote and placed shortcuts to all my servers tsclient files.. any idea where that would be kept? [14:26] how to work out bluetooth in ubuntu 9.10? [14:26] anyway..i've a course now...i gotta go now...thanks for help everybody.. [14:26] MixLaToR: it's sometimes fun to take things out on the bot. I talk to her a lot. [14:26] airtonix: in the /home/home or just in /home ? [14:26] SpaceGhostC2C, i believe u :D [14:26] byyyyyyyyyyyyye [14:26] erorrs: if your pc has bluetooth capabilities, you should be able to use it out of the box, using gnome ? [14:26] erorrs: it will depend on what devices you are wanting to use to some degree [14:26] ubuntu_, in /home [14:26] kittenjaugar: I could've helped if it was grub-legacy. [14:27] user2010: check that your cpu actualy supports kvm « grep -E --color 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo » [14:27] yeah m using gnome it says bluetooth adapter is missing [14:27] SpaceGhostC2C: Agreed you. [14:27] Guest25509: ~/.config/menus/ ? [14:27] erUSUL: the cpu model does support VT. I can not get it on [14:27] airtonix: it s copying.it will take for a while, its several gb.what i do next// [14:27] cpu model E5405 [14:27] Will Ubuntu work with Adobe CS4? [14:27] erorrs: so you have a device you want to use in conjonction with you personal computer right ? [14:28] !appdb | Graphettion [14:28] Graphettion: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:28] ubuntu_, nothing :) maybe have a read of this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [14:28] hi guys, when i tried ubuntu as a live cd, it asked me if i wanted to install 3rd party drivers. i know installed ubuntu but the 3rd party drivers msg is not shown. how can i get these drivers ? [14:28] yeah [14:28] Guest25509, i'd suggest you to use grdc (has a new name now, cant remember) or gnome-rdp [14:28] istevenmon: should be an icon at the top right. Or use the hardware-drivers menu icon [14:28] erUSUL: Thank you. It probably doesn't support it still. I will check. [14:28] Dr_Willis, Do you think I can somehow restrict them from using the mouse? It would be fun [14:28] airtonix: we are doing again what i already had done from the begining and didn't work. that was what i did at the first place [14:29] terminal service client is the default install [14:29] sluxor: never noticed or tried.. or wanted to [14:29] ubuntu_, the section "What if it doesn't work?" seems relevant [14:29] erorrs: so what is teh device ? and I assume you went to system >> preferences >> bluetooth [14:29] should I switch? [14:29] Dr_Willis: it is empty the hardware - drivers window :( [14:29] airtonix: as I said before i was getting an error message while booting saying that home cannot be mounted [14:29] yeah it says no adapter is present installed ndiswrapper [14:29] Hi guys, help with debmirror, see here: http://pastebin.com/xH2qi7Sz this started happening after a power failure but it seems unrelated [14:30] k [14:30] blackxored: Seems like a Lucid issue, go to #ubuntu+1 for help with those [14:30] Guest25509, i'd just recommend to evaluate, you are the one who has to make the decision in the end. but in my opinion tsclient is very poor - the panel application has all itmems unsorted etc... [14:30] ubuntu_, did you format it with the same filesystem as it was previously ? [14:30] erorrs: bluetooth sometimes has to be enabled in the bios of your pc (mostly in laptops but it does happen on desktops) [14:30] theadmin, I was doing the mirror on karmic [14:30] istevenmon: what drvers are You looking for? video card? wht card? [14:31] hi everyone again [14:31] theadmin, now I'm in lucid yes, but that started happening way before the upgrade [14:31] m using laptop of hp it has a tuch button to activate [14:31] I will rephrase.. I added a new folder to the Main Menu. Inside that folder I placed a bunch of custom launchers. Where could I find that from the command line so I can make a copy? [14:31] is there a way to restore my xorg file? i messed it up and now i'm on a smaller resolution :( === mpoz2 is now known as hellp [14:31] erorrs: cool I am using HP laptop as well... [14:31] nibbler__ what do you use? [14:31] l3ns: this is why its always a good idea to make backups. Check in /etc/X11/ and see if any are backed up [14:31] me hp dv5 1002au [14:31] airtonix: before ate the begining t was ext3 that later was converted into ext4 without formating.now i formated it in ext4 [14:31] Guest25509, guess. [14:31] erorrs: if bluetooth is NOT enabled in BIOS (F2 on boot) then the blue button does nothing [14:31] Dr_Willis: okay.. [14:32] is that works on ur [14:32] ubuntu_, this might be the issue maybe ? fstab expects it to be ext3 still ? [14:32] erorrs: yes [14:32] how u did? [14:32] Dr_Willis: there's a file named xorg.conf.backup [14:33] what should I do with it?

[14:33] l3ns: some tools auto backup. copy it to xorg.conf if you want..

[14:35] ubuntu_, ok [14:35] basicly you generate a new UUID when you play with the partition table.. which is anoying [14:35] ubuntu_, i assume /dev/sdb5 is your home partition ? [14:35] airtonix: yes [14:35] nibbler_ you recomended grdc or gnome-rdp what do you use? [14:36] I will rephrase.. I added a new folder to the Main Menu. Inside that folder I placed a bunch of custom launchers. Where could I find that from the command line so I can make a copy? [14:36] ubuntu_, before you make these changes, do a backup of /etc/fstab : cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_bak [14:36] all ubuntu Friends, How would I find the File /etc/inittab? workdirectory:/ect/-----> "ls -a inittab"----> No such file found...

[15:14] von_neumann: will it sync apps and stuff? [15:14] Enverex: Do you dual boot? [15:14] l3ns: on my laptops the 'FN' is in light blue.. and the light blue text/icons on the OTHER keys show what they do when used with the FN key [15:15] zen933k, Yes, testing it in Windows was my last option though [15:15] * pbureau grins and offers Dr_Willis a "most patient support person today" badge [15:15] linduxed, then its probably the wrong driver. atl1xx are a bit twitchy anyway. when you run lspci -nn check the pci.id. something like 123e:456a and lets google it [15:15] von_neumann: could you run apt-cache policy glibc-2.7-1 ? [15:16] chili555: the problem is that it doesn't even show up on lspci [15:16] pbureau: still can't enter #pidgin, don't know why. [15:16] Encerex: I've experienced the same thing. Something to do with soundcard drivers not resetting properly during a reboot. Consider a Shutdown and see if you get sound [15:16] Dr_Willis: i have hit all possible combinations with the FN key and still not workin.. :( [15:16] chili555: i had it at least showing up in jaunty [15:16] kittenjaugar: dunno... I dont run it check on puidgin main web site for the reason probably [15:16] ahhhh No package 'gtk+-2.0' found hellllp [15:16] chili555: in karmic i can't even see it [15:16] pbureau: ok, I'm checking [15:16] l3ns: you need to try the MOnitor key several times slowly. It normally turns the external monitor ON/OFF/CLONE for me [15:17] linduxed, any chance its an internal card attached to a usb bus? does it show up in lsusb? [15:17] slacker_nl, unfortunately I ran the dpkg-reconfigure -a... so i have to finish that first? [15:17] wtf, it installed a 2.4 kernel? [15:17] kittenjaugar: are you seeing more than 2 or 3 at a time? this is a very busy channel [15:18] and Lilo too? man I knew i should should have stayed away from that mono crap [15:18] Enverex: I've experienced the same thing.

[15:26] kittenjaugar: agreed, know of any? :) [15:26] pbureau: ya satellite m200 [15:26] chili555: seems like a suspend issue... but i have no idea if it's connected to my issue [15:26] kittenjaugar: i have both on this with default settings and get very few join/parts here [15:27] Guest56655: nod...I try Synaptic [15:27] Enverex: Any luck? [15:27] mvalviar, and I'm assuming your browser works fine, and you are not using a proxy ? [15:27] zen933k, Didn't help. Also sound works in Windows without issue [15:27] kittenjaugar: compared to what's actually happening in the room [15:27] linduxed, does your wireless card use ath9k for the driver?

[15:28] i think so it says is written on java [15:28] chili555: i'll check [15:28] and the software comes with jre [15:28] chili555: yupp [15:29] chili555: it works fine [15:29] intx: but I am not a linux expert, you may ask other good user.. [15:29] Hm, i haz a key on keyboard which should disable or enable touchpad, it ain't working in Ubuntu... why? [15:29] in the user manual it say that install with # sh nameoffile.sh [15:29] kittenjaugar: curious why did you want to know whether it was for a server? [15:29] Enverex: You can look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [15:30] linduxed, not sure its related, but: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/6715 [15:30] Enverex: And see where it takes you, if you've done that, perhaps reinstall ALSA etc [15:30] Hello, I have a problem with the screensaver kicking in while VLC is playing video. Any suggestions ? [15:30] i tryed changing the permissions with chmod +x and chmod 755 as i read somewhere [15:30] and nothing [15:30] zelhar: vlc should have an option to disable the screensaver [15:30] intx: ?? because calcu traffic for desktop seems not funny. [15:30] zelhar: Only suggestion... keep moving the mouse, or disable the screensaver. VLC should have such option. [15:30] Of course it is on already [15:31] When I go to "Manage Content Plugins" in Firefox, I can't change any settings because it keeps refreshing the list every second. Anyone else have this problem, and what can I do about it? [15:31] Yerushalmi: Could you please point me to where this option is? [15:31] irene.pipi@hotmail.comç [15:31] corpogen: install jre on ubuntu first, then try to run that thing [15:31] chili555: yeah it could be [15:31] theadmin: Tools menu, [15:31] theadmin: Tools menu, last one on the list [15:31] kittenjaugar: oh it's not. [15:31] Uhm. [15:32] kittenjaugar: but my ISP does it and charges me by it :/ [15:32] chili555: but from what i can see i don't think it's related to the fact that the ethernet card is gone [15:32] Yerushalmi: Last one is "tab mix plus options", and there is no such thing in the tools menu. What version are you on? [15:32] I know VLC has that option and it is set on. KDE's screensaver doesn't kicks in but Gnome's does... [15:32] j #maemo-devel [15:32] thedmin: 3.5.8 [15:32] er... [15:32] theadmin: 3.5.8 [15:33] (I was wondering why it didn't tabcomplete...) [15:33] linduxed, i tend to agree. acpi errors cause all kinds of issues. not sure the skbuff is a cause or result [15:33] slacker_nl, I think I found the problem... My /etc/apt/sources.list is way funky [15:33] Yerushalmi: Hm, strange. [15:34] Yerushalmi: Same here. I use the build from the Ubuntu's repos, though don't think it matters [15:34] what is the syntax to remove Mozilla Thunderbird? [15:34] Is it possible to use KDE's screensaver and power settings while on GNOME session ? [15:34] Dan_E: sudo apt-get remove thunderbird i think [15:34] von_neumann: that is what I was thinking (hence the apt-cache policy) [15:34] Hi, I'm quite new, so don't flame if I might ask something stupid :) [15:35] @fabio333 i think i already have jre [15:35] von_neumann: i suppose the glibc from ubuntu will install nicely [15:35] i can know that by issuing command java -version? [15:35] Martijn: Ubuntu's CoC states "Be collaborative", so we won't [15:35] chili555: here [15:35] !ask| Martijn [15:35] Martijn: 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. :-) [15:35] so that prog should run [15:35] I use this command to backup one disk to a identical second disk [15:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/391837/ [15:35] Hello.

[15:36] linduxed, reading now... [15:36] yes that worked and install would be sudo apt-get thunderbird? [15:36] linduxed, do you have an EEE? [15:37] theadmin: How do you get Windows Media Player items to work in Firefox? I can't seem to under any circumstances. [15:37] no, all i get is a command line, i installed with windows vista, the windows bootmanager still shows ubuntu, when i select ubuntu it just goes to grub and is awaiting a command [15:37] I need to know where can I find the driver for my touchpad? [15:37] Yerushalmi: Hm, VLC had a plugin for that [15:37] slacker_nl, it is weird, it has references to a mirror of debian on sblug.org in it... I haven't ran debian or used sblug.org in like 6 years... [15:38] chili555: yes [15:38] chili555: 1005ha-p [15:38] chili555: skip the -p when reading that [15:38] linduxed, do you know how to pass a boot option at the grub prompt while booting?

[15:39] chili555: i've gathered in that thread it wont help [15:39] hi guys, I was wondering if there is a way to replace all numbers in a text file to 0 "zero" using bash :) [15:39] i tried boot and it says no kernel loaded [15:39] slacker_nl, so I used this: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php to generate an /etc/apt/sources.list, but now when I do an apt-get update it complains about not having the keys... [15:39] ho un problema [15:39] *google talk video I mean [15:39] Is it normal I ot a /usr/bin/crontab entry in my logs every 9 seconds? [15:40] m2cm2c: better use sed as pure bash [15:40] linduxed, do lsmod | grep eee is eeepc_laptop there? [15:40] chili555: hmm, that could be why [15:40] its no big deal really, i can just uninstall/reinstall it right? i havent loaded anything into ubuntu, ive only been playing around with stuff, trying to learn more about it [15:40] m2cm2c: use sed on the file [15:40] chili555: arch uses the latest stuff [15:40] chili555: that includes the .32 kernel [15:41] llutz : I know about sed, but what should the arguments be to change all numbers ? [15:41] chili555: eeepc_laptop 13936 0 [15:41] ho un problema con i effetti del desktop [15:41] m2cm2c: sed -e 's/[0-9]/0/g' /path/to/file [15:41] non me li fà installarli [15:41] why do my settings keep coming back even after i uninstall Thunderbird then reinstall it?

[15:42] Zenker: From Windows, go to Programs And Components and delete the "Ubuntu" entry [15:42] linduxed, try removing it temporarily and see if ethernet returns: sudo rmmod -f eeepc_laptop [15:42] zen933k, Fixed it, seems the software modem driver/software that was installed blocked or just outright broke the soundcard for some reason. Removed it and all is fine now :) [15:42] can i delete .thunderbird? [15:43] and a bunch of other stuff besides [15:43] Dan_E: its a invisible folder, but you can remove the Dir yes [15:43] k [15:43] Enverex: Gotta love linux and sound, there's always something to catch you off guard [15:44] von_neumann: easily solvable [15:44] ciao!

[15:49] theadmin, ty [15:50] Sher1ff: that's true, but i can do the same thing with pidgin. my only aversion to installing pidgin again is because empathy is now the default client in lucid, and i'm a sucker for a fully-functional me menu [15:50] check is in the mail [15:50] empathy: lol [15:50] Dan_E: cool! [15:51] hello can anyone listn to me!!! :-( [15:51] nvsbl: never used empathy, but personnally i prefer irssi over pidgin [15:51] nvsbl: apt-get remove empathy :) I dont like that app one bit. [15:51] My question is : is there a system tray icon for the irc client "Xchat-Gnome" ? [15:51] could anyone recommend a wireless card for pc that would work with ubuntu?

[17:04] Desciero: what soundcard? [17:04] my mac works great :) (shouldnt say there here) but nevertheless.. :( [17:04] Intel A'97 [17:05] Desciero: that is working great with karmic [17:05] corpogen: look for IcedTea packages in Synaptic, maybe you find something that helps you [17:05] I think Intel A97 is like a generic name - not a exact chipset. [17:05] Desciero: i am using it [17:05] if a partition wont mount in rescue mode, does that mean it probably is dead? [17:05] i'd like to configure maximum upload speed and download in firefox. nice to see some plugins as solution [17:05] Like the old 'sound blaster compatiable' cards from years back [17:05] iceroot: Do you use any applications that require sdl? [17:05] Dr_Willis, i was referring to the login theme. they seemed to have removed the option in ubuntu 910 or gnome 2.24 or whatever version it is [17:05] wack4798: any error messages when you mount it by hand? [17:06] iceroot: because apparently those don't work with the sound card [17:06] Desciero: skype is using it, right? and teamspeak [17:06] baba_b00ie: correct.

[17:07] a bug in the 'sdl' libs are not the same thing as a bug in the soundcard drivers.

I have Ubuntu 9.10, and I was recently promted to update via the update manager. It warned me that it'd be a partial update, but I did it anyway (didn't know better), and now my system won't start up. I get to the point that there'd be a login, then nothing. Is there any way for me to restore my system, or do I have to reinstall? [17:47] useradd* [17:47] kmahl: man useradd?

I'm in 9.10 with a Toshiba a305 that according to other sources should work. I'm not getting any power light on the card itself. [17:48] greenguy1090: how reliable are the other sources? ;) [17:49] ubuntu community forums [17:49] say in general pcmcia should work for this model [17:49] greenguy1090: they can't help you if you have a hardware failure ;) [17:49] the card is new [17:49] yshavit -- Try restaerting and selecting the old kernel [17:49] i'm pretty sure something is just not quite set right on my end [17:50] greenguy1090: is it well connected?

[17:50] Sh3r1ff, yes all looks good [17:50] yotta911: My kernals were, iirc, .20, .19 and .14 === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen [17:51] ysgavit: thinking...

I'm just not that familiar with the laptop hardware end of things [17:52] greenguy1090: you can check the bios, but that is os unrelated ;) [17:52] yshavit: What error message you see? [17:52] Sh3r1ff, i just cant understand whats going on [17:52] Sh3r1ff, so what you're saying is check there first, then come back with my new problems :) [17:52] i copied that file to downloads folder now :/ [17:52] which i can see from ls [17:52] greenguy1090: go to the bottom and work your way up ;) [17:53] greenguy1090: try lspcmcia [17:53] Some_One: do ls -l to see the rights [17:53] yotta911: No error message. I get to the point where there'd be a login, and that's all I get. Tring the cntrl-alt-# doesn't get me a prompt, either. But interestingly, if I press the power button, I can get the login screen to ask me if I want to halt/reboot/sleep. [17:53] command not found [17:53] Stargaze, returns nothing [17:53] Sh3r1ff, when i tried -l [17:53] yotta911: erm, not "the login screen" actually, cause it's not there. But the popup that would otherwise pop over the login screen. [17:53] Is it possible to have start up apps open on different desktops?

I'm actually on the same machine that's having troubles (via a live ubuntu cd), so I'll have to sign off to try it. [17:55] some thing like that [17:55] Some_One: can you paste one line of a file you want to copy? [17:55] Sh3r1ff, i am the owner :s [17:55] :D lol let me connect from that pc then :p [17:55] yotta911: If iget a prompt from that, any suggestions of what to do? [17:55] Sh3r1ff, Basically, is there any way to see in 9.10 if my PCMCIA bus is enabled, or is it so by default? [17:55] i am trying these commands on desktop [17:56] let me right [17:56] Some_One: and when you access it with samba, can you see the file? [17:56] Sh3r1ff, yes i can see file .. but its not go into it [17:56] i file i share from samba server i can see it [17:56] unable to go further [17:56] yotta911: I just noticed that my /var/logs/syslog has some interesting lines to the effect of "No symbol table available / 0007f684eceaabd in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6" [17:57] Some_One: what's the error?

Thanks! [17:59] I don't know if this is the appropriate channel, but could anyone answer this: I'm using aMSN, and there's a feature that lets you see if contacts have deleted you from their contact list (im not talking about blocking). Is this indication reliable, does MSN network allow this to be shown? [17:59] Is there a way to deny symlink creation on a filesystem? [17:59] testi: Why? [17:59] usr13. i did but it tells me no such Directory [17:59] bjorn: i know pidgin has that feature also, and in windows live messenger there is a way to see this also, so i would say yes [18:00] yehia: That would explain why you are denied access. The directory does not exist. [18:00] well Sh3r1ff i have done it [18:00] but not as, as i wanted .. === Haraken_ is now known as Haraken [18:00] Some_One: started the apocalypse? ;) [18:01] the folder is exist usr13 , i know what iam saying [18:01] yehia: ls -ld will show you directories and their respective ownerships.) [18:01] Sh3r1ff, alright, thanks. however, I read on some other forum (unreliable answer), that Microsoft stopped this feature, but if it still shows up i dont know what to make of it [18:01] usr13, I have an SFTP server and users can create symlinks to anywhere. Inside SFTP that isn't a problem, but for example samba users can access these directories too but samba follows symlinks, and there are many more serviceses accessing these directories, some of them not allowing symlink detection [18:01] apocalypse i a greek word :p [18:01] it isn't a problem inside sftp, because it's jailed [18:01] well .. [18:01] testi: i beleive you can cinfigure samba to not follow symlinks [18:01] Sh3r1ff, i tried a new software for it [18:02] Some_One: which one [18:02] named as file sharing .. its really simple to share with it Sh3r1ff [18:02] yehia: ls -ld * or ls -ld * |grep ^d [18:02] Sh3r1ff, i know that, but as i said I have a few other services accessing the same directories that do not allow symlink detection [18:02] install it , right click on file .. just like windows enable sharing [18:02] testi: chroot is your friend ;) [18:03] and go to the network option access your file :) [18:03] how do i set xfce as my default WM? i can't find gdm in any of the panes in gnome... [18:03] i don't want to be able to pick as i load, i just want xfce to load after i enter my passwd [18:03] Sh3r1ff, but its only accessing the files in download folder :/ not still accessing from backup drive .. [18:03] Sh3r1ff, I already use that, but I don't want users to be able to see anything of the underlying system, this includes binaries [18:03] i need to know how can i give these files permission ? [18:03] Bohemian: pick it once at gdm and make it default-session [18:03] testi: I see. Not sure how to diss-allow sysmlink creations... Via ftp login session? [18:04] and usr13 . ? [18:04] Some_One: did you share that drive as well? [18:04] Bohemian: start xfce once and the GDM is ask if you want make this default [18:04] usr13, i think i want the internal-sftp program to disallow it - or have a mount option that takes care of this [18:04] Sh3r1ff, sharing options in only enable on files and folders not on drive [18:04] why do my window borders keep getting all messed up, which in turns causes my desktop to become unusable? this seems to have happened after a recent update. anyone else heard of this? [18:04] testi: if it is chrooted, you can't see it and don't create a symlink to it, don't really understand where the problem is [18:05] hi guys anyone here uses eclipse for php develpment? i installed eclipse from ubuntu software center, now i want to know how to install the php plugin [18:05] f-spot wont start http://fpaste.org/XqwO/ [18:05] Sh3r1ff, well the SFTP is chrooted [18:05] Some_One: you're drive is mounted as a folder ;) [18:05] yotta911: in terminal type "xfce4"? [18:05] I have installed software from other repositories, then removed the repos. How do I find the software that's newer than what it "should" be in the stock repos? [18:05] or gotta logout, yotta911 ? [18:05] yehia: Have a question? [18:05] Sh3r1ff, but still users can create symlinks inside that point anywhere. Other services that can't easily collaborate with chroot access the same directories. [18:05] Sh3r1ff, when i enable sharing from an other driving the software warn for right and gives option to auto asign the rights .. but its not working [18:06] Sh3r1ff, because i m unable to give rights manually as well [18:06] Bohemian: no, in login screen (GDM) [18:06] ok [18:06] Sh3r1ff, no option for sharing on drives :) [18:07] Some_One: you could try samba or nfs ;) === Greyscale is now known as greyscale [18:07] Sh3r1ff, samba has same problem :) [18:07] usr13 iam talking to you [18:07] Does anyone know the configuration to load the ubuntu install cd in a xen environment?

[18:22] KB1JWQ: Ok, I for some reason last night decided to clear the log besides that line, it was spammed with mysql errors which I fixed, I'll try to get a decent log :p [18:22] yotta911: ah-ha. synaptic crashed, with a seg fault. that's what happened right before my first broken reboot. [18:22] corpogen: you should contact them about the best way to install it on a debian system. That's the best thing to do. Otherwise, see what exactly the .sh is trying to do. [18:22] yotta911: so I think chroot worked. Now it's a matter of fixing whatever's broken. [18:23] medz, did you reboot after choosing a new image? [18:23] jrib / xangua : tnx, I guess i'll check out the alfa :) [18:23] GrimmVarg: just drop it in a vbox, then there are no worries [18:23] @jrib this is what i get when i try to install it from the .sh file http://paste.ubuntu.com/391893/ [18:23] coz_, no, the thing is I cant even select a new picture, the button takes me nowhere [18:23] yotta911: awesome, apt-get update worked with chroot! so synaptic doesn't work, but apt-get does. Any idea how I can find and fix my broken packages? [18:24] medz, ooo [18:24] coz_, now the login screen is just a blank background, like steel or sumtin [18:24] yotta911: apt-get -f install [18:24] looks like OSX haha [18:24] jrib:yeah thats a pretty good idea [18:24] HEY.

[18:25] corpogen: I said to see what it does :) Because that's important here. It could decide to wipe everything on your system which you probably don't want. Anyway, don't run it through sh, make it executable and execute it instead (it likely has bashisms and hopefully the shebang reflects this) [18:25] KB1JWK: type grep -i blue into the terminal? [18:25] yshavit: ops.. apt-get -f install [18:26] hi, can someone tell me where i can find the pidgin conf files? i think it had been something like .gaim in the past...

You've got the hardware, and it's detecting. [18:29] Hvorfor er det lige at Ubuntu ikke vil lade mig gøre som jeg vil ?! [18:29] medz, the Wasp editor should then be listed under /System/preferences [18:29] Hello , i installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my new machine after the installation i pressed on the hardware drivers button and installed the video card driver (my card is : ati radeon hd 5770 ) after rebooting i get msg box in the right corner : "unsupported hardware" and the resolution went bad .. and idea ? [18:30] how can I see if a package is installed or not? [18:30] shay2772, hint: ATI + Linux = bad [18:30] saml: apt-cache policy package [18:30] coz_, oki, [18:30] erUSUL, jrib your right; thanks [18:30] coz, damn, everything changed haha [18:31] Berzerker: so the seller is happy now with my money :( , any idea how can i fix this ? [18:31] saml: it appears with a green square in synaptic; or with a leading i in the aptitude search output [18:31] i have ubuntu 9.10 and intel GMA4500M: without KMS gnome has a solid yellowish white screen, nothing else, but with KMS i have an annoying flickering, i tryed i915.powersave=0 but it turns off KMS [18:31] saml: or apt-cache policy package [18:31] KB1JWK: lol which program do i need to use it? [18:31] let's say I want to check if I have speex installed... do I have to do apt-cache search speex and find (or guess) proper package name and then do apt-cache policy package-name ? [18:32] coz_, u sure about this, to change splashscreen just change my background.. [18:32] erUSUl: I have tried the vga=791 boot option as You suggested (the VT problem). It did not help. Although, the font size of the the output while booting changed. [18:32] saml: yes; or try to run it ? [18:32] medz, right now you can re do the desktop background but the gdm background will be changed === Guest11795 is now known as isp [18:32] martensite: :/ sorry no more ideas then [18:32] shay2772, did you use the restricted driver manager to install the drivers? [18:33] medz, works well here so let me know [18:33] yshavit: I'm going away now, maybe make a backup of you /home directory (don't forget hidden files) and reinstall is more fast [18:33] yotta911: alright, I may end up doing that. thanks for your help! [18:33] shay2772, also, are you on 32 or 64? [18:33] Berzerker, shay2772: From what I have heard, newer ATI on Linux is supposed to be better than nvidia (and I'm saying that as an nvidia fan) [18:33] KB1JWK: because every bluetooth program i try to use fails for one reason or another [18:34] how do I install the right-click option to "open terminal from here" in regular ubuntu? It is a standard option on xubuntu. [18:34] eaker: is nautilus-open-terminal iirc [18:34] arch0njw, lol...that has to be a joke...you haven't seen ATI support on linux [18:34] thanks [18:34] arch0njw, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3729.html check this link out [18:34] anyone know if there is a pkg for func (https://fedorahosted.org/func/) in ubuntu ? [18:35] Berzerker: i pressed on the upper menu : System > administration > hardware drivers and installed from there [18:35] !find func [18:35] Found: funcoeszz, octave-missing-functions [18:35] shay2772, ok that probably installed old drivers. [18:35] Berzerker -- the older drivers really sucked. FWIW, those posts are from 2004-2008. ATI -supposedly- made improvements since then. Only saying this to not dismiss them out of hand at this point. [18:35] coz_, hmm, well that worked... i guess.. ty :) [18:35] someone can try downloading and installing CLC genomics workbench and see if it works? http://www.clcbio.com/index.php?id=1292 [18:35] Berzerker: how can i install the new drivers ? [18:35] shay2772, http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/509761-how-linux-ati-driver-installation.html follow those instructions [18:35] Berzerker: but as for me... I'll keep buying nvidia because I like their stuffs 'n things [18:35] corpogen: did you do what I said? [18:35] shay2772, start with dowlnoading the newest drivers from ATI.com [18:36] medz, cool... it's not the best way to do this but it is the simplest [18:36] downloading* [18:36] arch0njw, I hear they're still pretty bad, but I don't know. [18:36] coz_, yeah, anyways, ty ;) hehe [18:36] medz, what I would generally do is simply replace the image under /usr/share/images/xsplash [18:36] wait how do i turn it into executable? :p [18:37] Berzerker: Now I want to get an ATI card just to see. ;^) [18:37] corpogen, chmod +x FILENAME [18:37] axisys: just create some scripts, named as your hosts in ~/bin with this line. doing the same.

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:09] !it| justin__ [20:09] my only other question, is can I increase the drive space that root uses to load packages... in the install it's probably pretty small, but I have 200GB and can give it much more, can I do a physical drive increase, or is it all virtual ? [20:12] i've looked at some documentation already, but i'm confused, because doing a google search on the question some help pages talk about this from previous builds, 8.4, and talk about physical drives, and later builds talk about virtual link drives... I'm confused about all of that. I just want to add the space to root, or /usr or wherever it is that loads packages [20:12] why network manager always asking for my keyring every log in? [20:14] seanbrystone, do you have autologin enabled?

[21:28] @hmw: if you just need a directory to share data between ubuntu and windows, you can make a separate FAT partition or access the windows NTFS from linux. however, some problems may occur when some app needs the linux specific file system functions (ie permissions). i used to have a shared ext3 partition for my thunderbird mail client some time ago [21:29] dstaubsauger: nope... we're trying to recover data [21:29] xerox1: Try escape [21:29] hmw: LiveCD doesn't work any more?

[22:27] and what does grub have to do with the wireless network? [22:27] ive done the install via windows test run for ubuntu. can i access the ntfs drive with READ only privelages to listen to some tunez [22:27] ahhh, my kingdom for semantics === Sevvvveas is now known as funkyHat [22:27] <[V13]Axel> Typos_King: The fix was to add acpi=noirq to the GRUB entry for Ubuntu. There isn't one. [22:27] !grub2 > [V13]Axel [22:27] [V13]Axel, please see my private message [22:28] Was fed up with Fedora 12 and returned to Ubuntu... === FightingWalrus is now known as DeadDodo [22:28] [V13]Axe grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg not menu.lst btw [22:28] [V13]Axel: that should get you the config file you want [22:28] Typos_King: you're not meant to edit that file [22:28] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: I know how to do things in GRUB2. Thanks though. [22:28] [V13]Axel: you can add the same code to the grub2 conf [22:29] MilitantPotato.... well, I'm not meant to jaywalk either, doesn't mean is bad [22:29] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: Yes, But I'd have to do it every time I needed to update the Ubuntu kernel image. [22:29] QUIT [22:29] Is there a parameter i can pass to apt-get to have all of a package's recommended packages installed? [22:29] [V13]Axel: only if you add it to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:30] wow, some how I have like 80 documents sitting in my printer queue...is there a faster way to get rid of them besides right-click -> cancel, are you sure "yes"? [22:30] [V13]Axel: adding it to /etc/default/grub applies it every kernel update/grub change [22:30] Hello [22:30] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: Hold on. I'm going to try. [22:30] [V13]Axe if you want to do the changes in the grub2 template file update-grub uses, it'd be at -> /etc/grub.d/10_Linux [22:31] I heard about a program that could share an mobile brodband connection through an ad-hoc network [22:31] Does anyone know what it is called? [22:31] [V13]Axel: add it to /etc/default/grub then run sudo update-grub and all, it will be added to /boot/grub/grub.cfg automatically from there out [22:32] javatexan: perhaps http://localhost:631 would give you more control [22:33] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: Do I add it anywhere? [22:33] GeekSquid, I love ubuntu....LOL thanks. [22:33] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= [22:34] [V13]Axel: so... find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=, then add acpi=noirq between the quotes [22:34] hello, i got a lil problem, runned win vista on my desk PC, decided to run now ubuntu and now wanted to move back to vista for now. i want to save my datas but the HD doesnt display at win vista (ext3 or ext4), ubuntu 9.10, the live CD doesn't work anymore too (also checked the disc and memory) - any way to save my datas before i format the HD? [22:34] Running Karmic 64bit. I need to run a 32bit deb (citrix client). I have installed the ia32-libs libraries but it still says "wrong architecture". What am I missing? [22:35] i rebooted and im in low graphics mode.. [22:35] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: New question. How do I remove old kernel entries? [22:36] I just bought a webcam and it worked out of the box. I just had to install cheese to take pics and vids [22:36] [V13]Axel: while leaving them installed? [22:36] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: Removing them would be best for what I want. [22:36] [V13]Axel: synaptic works, just uninstall them [22:36] klooluss: dpkg -i --force-architecture package.deb [22:37] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: Where would I find them in Synaptic? [22:37] I am having an issue with the live cd, i can't get it load, i mean like, i can get it to show me all the loading stuff, then the screen goes blank, i can access the virtual terminals with the ctrl+alt+f5 and what not, but not the gui desktop, i've searched the forums, attempted the corrections found on ubuntu.com but can't figure out the issue [22:37] System>administration>Synaptic Package Manager [22:37] Anyone know what this means? (nautilus:9847): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-directory.c: directories" hash table still has 2 elements at quit time [22:37] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: I know that. I want to know where to find the kernel images in Synaptic. [22:38] [V13]Axel: Status on the bottom left, up top click Installed, search for linux [22:38] Militantpotato was that to me? [22:38] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: Okay, just one moment. [22:38] [V13]Axel: sort by installed version, tada [22:39] Shadowmancer: no, but try safe graphics mode on the first screen [22:39] Shadowmancer: I believe F8 brings up the advanced options [22:39] ok i'll try that [22:40] [V13]Axel: Always recommended to have a fallback kernel installed, so leave one older version [22:40] geeksquid: That installed it, thanks. Clicking the icon for the new software does nothing though. [22:40] <[V13]Axel> MilitantPotato: It's a flash drive install. I back it up constantly, so I'm going to remove all but the current. ^_^ [22:41] klooluss: run it from cmdline ... see if you get any errors [22:44] hi, ext4 on 9.10 and now lookin for a good pick of usage for / and /home [22:44] holy crap the flash player on firefox under ubuntu 9.10 SUCKS [22:44] should I go with large4 for both? [22:45] glphvgacs: it's personal choice [22:45] large4? what's that? [22:45] hehe [22:45] XypherOrion: Flash 10.1 beta 3 is much faster [22:45] XypherOrion: you mean is slow? [22:45] do all the controls work? I can't navigate youtube for diddly [22:45] how could I allow downloads to my Ubuntu Karmic through my Filezilla? [22:45] play/pause works half the time, somtimes I get a black window where the video should be, i can't move the slider at all... [22:46] sometimes* [22:46] XypherOrion: try turning off 'enable hardware acceleration' by right-clicking on the flash and uncheckin it [22:46] ikonia: just looking for blazing performances... [22:46] madjoe1: install openssh-server and use the sftp option in filezilla [22:46] seriously? :( [22:46] XypherOrion: yes [22:46] glphvgacs: XFS is faster (in most cases) than EXT3/4 [22:46] GeekSquid: is that how to solve permission denied errors? [22:46] LOL it won't let me [22:47] XypherOrion: 1 second [22:47] * Desciero is a windows user having trouble installing a .tar.gz file. How would I go about doing this? [22:47] glphvgacs: well the sizing won't make that much of a difference [22:47] Desciero: what do you want to install ? [22:47] and I can't close the settings window >.< [22:47] XypherOrion: no soup for you, I guess ehhe [22:47] ikonia: TeeWorlds 1.5.2 [22:47] XypherOrion: go here and change it on the version display http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html [22:47] MilitantPotato: really [22:47] !info TeeWorlds [22:47] Package TeeWorlds does not exist in karmic [22:47] ikonia: Software manager and synaptic only have 1.5.1 [22:47] XypherOrion: I can't use the settings manager when playing videos either, need to use that website. [22:47] right [22:47] XypherOrion: tab, tab tab, to the close button and 'space' to click it [22:47] but they provide 1.5.2 on their website [22:48] How do I take a screenshot of my open window? [22:48] Desciero: what's in 1.5.2 that's not in 1.5.1 ? [22:48] nope, won't uncheck lol [22:48] ikonia: Not sure, but I was told to upgrade to help with sound issues [22:48] glphvgacs: applications/accessories/take screen shot [22:48] glphvgacs: Yea, really, check some benchmarks [22:48] MilitantPotato: really *? [22:48] there it goes [22:48] XypherOrion: did it work at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html ? [22:48] Desciero: I suggest you don't upgrade unless you know what you're doing and have a solid reason to [22:48] goose, application / accessories / take screenshot [22:48] ikonia: and generally, I would like to know how to install a .tar.gz file [22:48] XypherOrion: iirc, it doesn't 'uncheck' per se, though it does do it, the checkbox just shows as still checked [22:48] Desciero: I'd advise to log a bug/upgrade request on launchpad.net [22:48] GeekSquid: should I rather install vsftpd? [22:48] ikonia: I'm at installation console [22:48] ikonia: okay... [22:49] Desciero: if you untar it there are files called README and INSTALL [22:49] XypherOrion: just make sure it doesn't get 'rechecked' back and forth [22:49] glphvgacs: yup, and ? [22:49] so, I need to upgrade UNR on a Dell Mini [22:49] I'd like a fairly reliable way to create the USB key but [22:49] ikonia: wasn't that GUI? [22:49] ikonia: generally, is it bad to have to install .tar.bz files manually? [22:49] thanks [22:50] glphvgacs: oh, I see you want a screen shot of the installer [22:50] the 3 machines I have to work with are the dell mini, running a 2-year-old Ubuntu, a headless ubuntu server (no X), and a mac laptop [22:50] now i can show you guys what my saturn sounds like (not my saturn in the video...but i sure don't have a muffler!) [22:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojMY5Myanw [22:50] Desciero: only if you are not %101 sure of what you are doing and how it will effect your system and other applications [22:50] deafening inside [22:50] XypherOrion: why are you posting that in an ubuntu support channel ? [22:50] how do you remove wine from application list after uninstalling it [22:50] more importantly, I don't have a good way to test that the USB key works other than on the dell mini [22:51] madjoe1: ssh is the reccommended way, it can also be secured with encription keys.... openssh-server would be plug and play ... you'd have to configure vsftpd, and I cannot help you with that [22:51] MilitantPotato: we might also move this machine at some point to server as a smp share point, would you still say XFS? [22:51] as thanks for helping me fix my issue, its rather amusing [22:51] which may or may not have issues [22:51] ikonia: so normally stick with packages [22:51] does anyone have suggestions on the easiest way for me to do this? [22:51] Desciero: unless you have a reason not to [22:51] glphvgacs: No idea, all I know is it's faster, sorry [22:51] XypherOrion: please don't , this isn't a video sharing channel/joke channel, it's just support please [22:51] Hi , i want to write an alias that runs a few commands, but i want it to ask me if to run the last command, how ? :) [22:52] ooookey dokey [22:52] thanks [22:52] DiGiGoth: wha? [22:52] or is there some realistic way I can do an online upgrade of UNR? [22:52] GeekSquid: I suppose I can install this and use sftp without any requirements from the server I'm connecting to, right? [22:52] N === ubuntu_ is now known as irfaN [22:52] totally cluless about ssh/vnc. i have read the stuff on both and have no basic understanding. need a novice walkthrough. anyone? [22:53] Typos_King: an alias in .bashrc [22:53] jon5001: https://help.ubuntu.com [22:53] madjoe1: all you'd need is the username and password for the server you'd be connecting to, ssh/sftp by default uses port 22 [22:53] ikonia, read that, thx still totally confoozled [22:54] DiGiGoth: sooooooo [22:54] jon5001: what did you read ? [22:54] DiGiGoth: I know how to make aliases, I just didn't get what you want it to do :| [22:54] ikonia, the ubuntu help files for both ssh and vnc and using vnc over ssh. problem is i really have no basic framework ofunderstandng and none of that makes sense to me [22:54] Typos_King: i want the alias to do for example "ifconfig wlan0 down" and then to ask me if to do "ifconfig wlan0 up" [22:55] jon5001: which links did you read ? [22:56] GeekSquid: ok, I've installed openssh-server a few seconds ago, I've chosen SFTP protocol for my connection in FileZilla, but it still says Error: local: unable to open /var/www/aaa.png [22:56] madjoe1: look if that file exists locally [22:56] ikonia, i read these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC?action=show&redirect=VNCOverSSH https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH http://www.openssh.org/manual.html [22:57] Typos_King: any idea ? [22:57] jon5001: ok so what do you want to do and what part is not clear ? [22:57] ikonia: you're my hero :) that was it! [22:57] ikonia++ [22:57] no problem [22:57] how do i get rid of wine folder in appliations when i have already uninstalled it [22:57] GeekSquid++ [22:57] madjoe1: the user needs to be part of the www-data group , the only place you will be able to write is /home/user unless you do this [22:57] ikonia: does karma work in here? [22:58] madjoe1: no, sorry, but I appriciate the gesture [22:58] carl, System / Preferences / Main Menu - will let you remove it [22:58] may i ask a hardware question... is NVIDIA GeForce 8200M good for Adobe graphics programs? [22:58] hystreni: try in ##hardware [22:58] GeekSquid: I have set chmod www-data:ww-data . -R to my www folder [22:58] ikonia, thanks [22:59] ikonia, i need an invite though [22:59] thx i feel stupid now [22:59] hystreni: no you don't, not for ##hardware [22:59] GeekSquid: this is cool and easy solution... I've followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293 which lead me nowhere :) [23:00] ikonia, what i want to do is be able to access my ubuntu pc that is behind a router from external computers in a secure way. ssh totally confused the ssh1t out of me and i have no idea what all these keys mean, tunnels, etc. clueless but usually a quick learner [23:00] GeekSquid: you saved me an hour or two, or maybe even more, thanks, buddy [23:00] jon5001: control your language please, if you can't speak without swearing, don't say it [23:00] ikonia, I got the login themes to work [23:00] ikonia, righto [23:00] DiGiGoth: .... well.... not sure if an alias will do.... I'd think it'd, so long you separate the lines with ;.... do a 'read' -> echo "would you like ifconfig wlan0 up too?"; read ans; if (ans eq 'yes') then .... fi; [23:00] mnaines: well done [23:00] madjoe1: gksudo gedit /etc/group find the line that says www-data ... and add your username to the end of the line [23:00] It is possible, but you have to use the gtk themes [23:01] jon5001: why are you not just vnc'ing directly to the machine, why are you ssh tunneling [23:01] mnaines: I know [23:01] ikonia, i try, but nothing happens when i write "/join ##hardware" [23:01] also, I found some screenlets I like [23:01] mnaines: pleased you're working [23:01] its /joing #hardware [23:01] Typos_King: thnx i'll try [23:01] ikonia, I'm now having fun trying out the different themes [23:02] laron: no, it's /join ##hardware [23:02] yeah i'm sorry [23:02] madjoe1: confusing chmod is for changing rwxrwxrwx permissions chown is what you wanted for www-data:www-data [23:02] mis-type its /join #hardware [23:02] laron: no - it's not [23:02] laron: it's /join ##hardware [23:02] ok [23:02] GeekSquid: wow, that saved me so many sudo's :) I did it and now I can easily modify my www data [23:02] DiGiGoth: make that a [ ] not a () my bad.... if [ans eq "yes"] then .... fi; [23:02] its not /join #hardware, its /join ##hardware [23:03] madjoe1: woah, I did it again [23:03] ok [23:03] GeekSquid: I've set chmod 750 for my folders and 644 for my files [23:03] GeekSquid: recursively* [23:04] does any1 know the name of the twitter for linux, like a free software... for websites??? i saw it on a pc of my friend... is it on ubuntu? [23:04] ikonia, i used to do that... and had my router forward to my ubuntu pc so i could access from outside. then one day while i was sitting in front of my pc (which is password protected), some dude from Romania took over my computer and started controlling it. I got him to chat with me in a text file and he told me vnc is absolutely not secure and that my ip address was listed on a site with hundreds of thousands of vulnerable v [23:04] nc computers. he was using something called "black vnc" and had apparently just recently successfully infiltrated a major usa airport this way. anyway, i reported this here, googled it, and learned that this is in fact a major issue with vnc. Hence my desire to securely connect via ssh instead [23:04] jaypur: You're probably thinking of gwibber, its in the repositories [23:05] I notice firefox does not have flash when I first install ubuntu karmic...should I go ahead and install the plugin when a site prompts me to? === zenity is now known as Guest33625 [23:05] Desciero: install the package flashplugin-nonfree [23:05] Pici, it's like a girls name... i can't remember [23:05] jaypur: gwibber? [23:05] ikonia: from synaptic? [23:05] jon5001: jon5001 http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/vnc/ [23:05] Desciero: yes [23:05] Pici, can't remember i'll check gwibber.... can i install it at my website? [23:05] ikonia: ok so flash is a no-no? [23:06] jaypur: 'at your website' ? Its a microblogging client. [23:06] Desciero: errr, I've just told you how to install it, how is that a no-no ? [23:06] Desciero, that package in synaptic is good [23:06] madjoe1: if you plan on writing to existing files in /var/www 644 won't work and if apache needs to write to the folder there are a couple of ways to set it up [23:06] GeekSquid: here's my last stupid question for today.. I hope :) is there a flag to avoid writing target_name in "tar -cvzf TARGET.tar.gz SOURCE", something that would make SOURCE.tar.gz as a default? [23:06] ikonia: oh just wasnt sure if it was adobe flash or not [23:06] Desciero: it certainly is [23:06] Desciero, it is [23:06] ikonia: ah ok [23:07] Hello, how could i Install the shre vpn client in ubuntu for karmic? [23:07] GeekSquid: I know.. I'll just use find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0664 [23:08] Pici, hm [23:08] madjoe1: I use cmd line tar so little I couldn't help you there ... ask out loud, [23:08] Is there a reasonably easy way to install 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit system? I'm trying to get the Aladdin eToken working, and it only ships with 32-bit binaries [23:08] Hey there. When booting Ubuntu X automatically start - how do you interrupt X starting and only go to command line? [23:08] Arrgh`: look at the compat-32 libraries [23:08] GeekSquid: I use cmd line as well... [23:08] GeekSquid: oh, you use it so little.. sorry I didn't get it at first [23:09] Pici, i'll search later i'll tell ya [23:09] madjoe1: regarding tar, i do use a cmdline quite a bit [23:09] Is there a flag to avoid writing target_name in "tar -cvzf TARGET.tar.gz SOURCE", something that would make SOURCE.tar.gz as a default_name? [23:09] ikonia, I already have ia32-libs, the problem is that eToken's software is trying to load the 32-bit version of libpcsclite.so.1.0.0, which I don't have [23:09] jaypur: Its possible you were thinking of identica/laconica [23:10] madjoe1: no, and you can have more than one SOURCE [23:10] where is the upgrade tool on UNR? [23:10] Pici, identica!!! [23:10] eam: I know that, but thanks [23:10] agliodbs: I've been looking for around 20 min, and have also googled, and can't seem to find anything [23:10] is there a way to check which version of windows (specifically whether it's 32 or 64 bit) is on a separate partition from ubuntu? [23:10] biggimat, you can just press Ctrl+Alt+F1(or any other FN key) [23:10] irvie: if it has program files (x86) on it, - it's 64bit [23:10] if you know why are you asking [23:10] oh right [23:10] Typos_King: is this good? alias testdump="sudo ifconfig wlan1 down && echo "ifconfig wlan1 up?"; read ans; if [ans eq 'y'] then "sudo ifconfig wlan1 up" fi; [23:10] thanks! :) [23:11] Pici, can i use it at my website, like install one? [23:11] nils, that might work. Thanks! === magical_trevsky is now known as magical [23:11] ikonia, that is interesting but still confusing to me. [23:12] jon5001: it's got a step by step guide in it [23:12] jaypur: the backend is called laconica i beleive, you'd have to check their website for details, I don't see a distributed package in the archives. Its not a twitter client though, its an open source clone. The identica and twitter networks don't talk to each other. [23:12] Oh, i see the problem. apparently "Update manager" doesn't see the new versions [23:12] of UNR [23:12] how do I fix that? === user_ is now known as C-S-B-N900 [23:13] ikonia, thank you. yes, but what i dont understand is the very first step which says "set up an open SSH server" with no more info than that.... how do i do THAT part? [23:13] hmmm [23:14] jon5001: install the package openssh-server - that's it [23:14] seems to be all questions and no answers on this channel today [23:14] lol [23:14] agliodbs: then you're nt following [23:14] ikonia, all i do is install the package, and then it is set up? [23:15] jon5001: correct [23:15] Pici, thanks a lot my friend [23:15] jaypur: no problem :) [23:16] ikonia, now, apparently i need to install putty on any pc from which i want to connect, yes? [23:16] DiGiGoth: .... what... hae.. ahemm...... why not just make a script? [23:16] jon5001: if that's what the guide says..... [23:16] Typos_King: hmmm... not that good with scripts :P [23:16] I need some help installing my printer [23:17] I found a site that shows exactly how to install it, but in Ubuntu 8.04 [23:17] ikonia, ok. this helps. I now feel optimistic, whereas before i was in a whole weed forest of tunnels and keys etc. [23:17] I just installed Ubuntu this week (lucid lynx alpha3 x64) and everything works perfectly, except XVID video, colors are all blue/pink. Sound and image seems fine other than the colors. This happens both in totem and vlc. I have my nvidia drivers working perfectly and installed any package for divx/xvid. Any idea? [23:17] Typos_King: or never tied... now that u said.. i'll check it out [23:17] And it won't work in Ubuntu 9.10 [23:17] Any help please? [23:17] jon5001, were you talking about remote desktop viewing? [23:17] Hello! After updating to karmic, I seem to be missing the file FindCompiz.cmake. Isn't this file supposed to come as part of compiz? Should I reinstall compiz to get it back? [23:18] DiGiGoth: just ....make a script... say.... ~/bin/testdump.sh and issue that from .bashrc [23:18] amaur: you will need to re-enable the universe repositories and reinstall compiz to get back to where you were [23:19] !lucid | Dunge [23:19] Dunge: 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 [23:19] GeekSquid: oh, ok. but universe is already enabled in my package sources [23:19] Alright, I'm serious, this isn't a newbie question. I have a Lexmark X6170 and Ubuntu isn't friendly towards Lexmark printers. [23:19] well, I'll reinstall it, at least [23:19] GeekSquid : So I go in the other channel for my question? I doubt this have to do with my distribution but ok [23:19] ikonia, I already have ia32-libs, the problem is that eToken's software is trying to load the 32-bit version of libpcsclite.so.1.0.0, which I don't have [23:20] Not even the generic driver works with my printer.

[23:28] I have a Lexmark X6170 All-In-One Printer. I did some research and found that Ubuntu Linux doesn't fare well with Lexmark printers. I attempted the walkthrough install through System>Administration>Printers. It didn't work out and I still couldn't print anything. Then I found this link: http://blog.k33bz.com/how-i-got-my-lexmark-x6170-working-on-ubuntu-804/.

[23:33] Printing problems? [23:33] Yeah, I got a really cool guy who helped me out with my video card. The link he sent me was outdated and the instructions didn't work so I had to re-install Ubuntu :-\ [23:33] Aye, i tried googling pidgin problems too. I use this place as last resort lol [23:33] Yeah [23:33] Samp: I do when needed, sure, I use apt-get mostly [23:33] IDK, I'm using pidgin right now, and it's working fine.
