[00:00] clickme: if the room freezes it is on your client not the server === kazaa_lite_ is now known as kazaa_lite [00:00] Losha, yeah i guess i got it for dollars with 8gb ram quadcore processor and 1gb ati video card tv tunner and wireless antena and 1tb hard drive so im not complaining [00:00] 449 [00:00] professional-are: :-) [00:00] I want to change THE password, i didnt realise i was setting the root password when the wubi installer started [00:00] IdleOne: ah, yeah that could work for me. i've held back upgrading ubuntu for a while just because things seem to be working and i don't want to go through some headache of stuff not working. [00:00] sine: Yeah use sudo unless you want to enable the root account login. But you dont need to do that at all. [00:01] crc32: it's not the first blunder ubuntu has made. grub2, new gdm, sound. The list goes on... [00:01] Losha: afaik, apple doesn't put any pinholes to any of their optical drives, external or internal, bad decision IMO, but yes, it's so [00:01] chelz: if you don't need to upgrade then don't :) [00:01] sine: using the command "passwd" on a terminal by itself should work [00:01] Typos_King: I can't imagine it's anything but a cost saving thing... [00:01] what client should i use [currently using empathy] [00:01] coldplay - fix you < now that is one damn tune that makes me want to pray so sweet [00:01] Empathy is awesome [00:02] I love it [00:02] how do i fix suspend issues? Black screen of death + blinking cursor + keyboard totally locked up, Ubuntu 9.10 on a fairly new computer [00:02] IdleOne: welll a lot of things i've looked over wanting to do require newer stuff. i tried to install some haskell stuff recently and wound up upgrading libc and had to spend a day uninstalling and reinstalling packages until things were right again. upgrading would probably be good for me. [00:02] "Share my desktop" is the best thing since sliced bread [00:03] seanbrystone2: Your not the only one who noticed that 9.10 is heavily broken. I too have noticed this. [00:03] not as good as "share my wife" [00:03] I've used a macpro, the dvd drive was just a plain slot, not even a plate on it, just a slot on the front-side of the MB, I used an external too, usb, same it was just a square with a hole, no pinhole, no plate either, or tray, just a small rubber-like innerdoor [00:03] Losha: Yea It felt like I was learning Linux all over again when I installed 9.10. I panicked when I saw all the ".mod" files in /boot/grub as it almost felt root kit looking at all those formiliar commands in that directory, but later assumed its supposed to be a rescue boot or something. [00:03] LinuxGuy2009: 'anecdotal evidence' is not evidence [00:03] They are rescue binaries right and not a root kit? LOL [00:03] hiexpo: How can I view a log of a failed terminal package install? [00:03] no no i never said ubuntu 9.10 was heavily broken. [00:03] Who said anything about evidence. [00:04] crc32: my understanding is that they are modules loaded and run by grub, and it's been done to make grub2 more modular. I'm ok with that, but the scripts which run to generate grub.cfg are a holy mess... [00:04] seanbrystone2: No what Im saying is that the devs knew that 9.10 would have major issues. So its not suprising at all that you have these issues. [00:05] ah [00:05] They threw in tons of new stuff for preop for LTS [00:05] yeah, well theres that :) [00:05] seanbrystone2: I'm not sure if its broken or not but it has plenty of suprises to make an experienced linux admin go "WTF" [00:05] I ran red alert 2 in wine yesterday and the computer rebooted after wine crashed [00:05] grub2 is really a pain, even boot spash is a pain [00:05] Yeah I went right back to Jaunty. Very happy with that release. [00:05] i didnt think linux crashed [00:05] Desciero, it should be in your sys log go to system/adm log file viewer [00:06] hello all [00:06] allo [00:06] crc32: seanbrystone2: well let's be fair, you don't get new features without bugs. That's why I run 8.04 LTS. [00:06] Correct. [00:06] But 8.04 is older than dirt for me. [00:07] LinuxGuy2009: what is that, some kind of weird computer ageism? [00:07] seanbrystone linus mint is pretty good [00:07] LOL === SScript_2 is now known as n3w4r3z[AwAy] [00:07] Debian stable has newer stuff than Ubuntu LTS does currently. Thats old. [00:07] yeah but i look at it like, you can try those other distros that have 100 users in their chat channel, 99 of them are snoozing or AFK, that's what makes Ubuntu so great , huge irc channel, huge community for helping ETC :) [00:07] seanbrystone true [00:08] !away > n3w4r3z[AwAy] [00:08] n3w4r3z[AwAy], please see my private message [00:08] Losha: I'm ok with grun being what ever since its low level and I don't typically screw around at that low a level but I did expect to see menu.lst at least in the grub directory where you edit the file and expect it to work. Instead you edit another file and run update-grub which to me feels like "lilo" all over again. [00:08] seanbrystone2: The sad truth to that statement is partially due to Ubuntu having some many problems at times also. But not always. [00:08] im running 9.10 and when I copy folders (local - local or local - usb flash) my whole system crawls. Its a 2.53GHz w/512mb ram, and not usually that slow. When I run htop it shows 13% used but seems the kernel is taking the rest. any ideas? [00:08] seanbrystone2: stable, cheap, new-featured: choose any *two*.... [00:08] hello, iv installed xmms2 via synaptic, but i got no links on the start menu. on terminal i call xmms2 but it gots me a comamand line [00:08] how do i create a shortcut for the xmms gui [00:09] dtcrshr: did you restart your panel? [00:09] how do i do that [00:09] Coded1: might be you hard drive/usb flash dying [00:09] jrib, without restarting gnome [00:09] dtcrshr: either logout and back in or just send SIGHUP to gnome-panel [00:09] clickme, should I be getting errors in /var/log somewhere? [00:10] hey, I have a script that launches `apt-get install mysql-server` automatically when a node is created. But it prompts for what you want the root mysql password to be. I just want to leave it blank. I did -y and --force-yes. I also want to do this "headless"/automated, so I don't have to hit enter on that screen. How can this be done? I don't see an option to apt-get for non-interactive mode. [00:10] dtcrshr: u can always log off and log back in [00:10] Coded1: 9.04 might be better for you until 10.04 LTS comes out. 9.10 is buggy for many users. [00:10] jrib, i got plenty of apps opened, will i lost my job? [00:10] actually, im transmitting to a webcast [00:10] dtcrshr: if you logout yes, if you send SIGHUP to gnome-panel, no [00:10] Coded1: Many things were added in preperation for LTS. [00:10] Losha: I'm ok with ubunu I guess for a desktop environment so long as it doesn't keep changing so fast. But in production I'm sticking with Debian or CentOS or fedora. I don't trust ubunto after 9.10 came out. [00:10] now that they areusing the microfone i got no problem [00:10] audacious is cracking, so i got xmms [00:10] cant reboot [00:11] jrib, whats the terminal command to send it to gnome panel [00:11] can I down grade? [00:11] Coded1: maybe, i'm but i had those problems and usually is a bad drive, the OS drive thats [00:11] crc32: I don't even mind the update thing, but the scripts which you have to edit to make changes are impenetrable & look like they were written by an amateur... [00:11] Coded1: Dont think so unless you have an old system backup sitting around which I assume you dont. [00:11] Coded1: try running the live session and copy and paste to the usb flash from there and see [00:11] Is there any way to make the terminal only keep the result of the last command, and the command prompt? [00:11] dtcrshr: pkill -HUP gnome-panel I suppose. [00:11] clickme, will do [00:11] thanks [00:12] Question [00:12] Coded1: Yeah I think you can change the setting in the terminal profile. [00:12] andrew__: what? [00:12] oops sorry [00:12] jrib: Erm I want to keep the buffer quite clear, it just gets cluttered real easy [00:12] andrew__: Yeah I think you can change the setting in the terminal profile. [00:12] andrew__ what? [00:12] LinuxGuy2009, thanks for the input [00:12] andrew__: you want to modify your prompt? [00:12] how come the Panels always stay on top os apps even after you auto hide them guys [00:12] hm.. no xmms [00:13] i must have missed something [00:13] Oh nevermind :p [00:13] any other suggestions? i need a substitute to audacious, an mp3 player that runs with jack [00:13] dtcrshr: I didn't claim you would see a shortcut after restarting gnome-panel, just that you should to see if it shows up. Did it show up? [00:13] !who | dtcrshr [00:13] dtcrshr: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:13] Losha: How long did you spend trying to disable the splash screen, Graphical startup and gdm. If you did disable gdm [00:13] dtcrshr: audacious works fine for me [00:13] dtcrshr: You trying to do multitrack recording? [00:13] jebba: you can try the "yes" command, which repeatedly outputs its argument (by default, 'y') followed by a newline until it's killed [00:14] Typos_King, no, im broadcasting [00:14] for me I'd raher see startup messages rather then a crawling graphical bar. [00:14] a live cast with both enterviews and audio [00:14] the mic is jsut fine [00:14] but audacious is cracking as hell [00:14] dtcrshr: Tried ardour? [00:14] .... I see [00:14] any audio [00:14] dtcrshr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:14] im just looking for an anternative to use jack [00:14] crc32: I didn't. I run 8.04 LTS i.e. still running grub1. I boot into 9.10 occasionally, mainly so I can support for it here, but I do it from grub1 [00:14] dont xmms has a gui? [00:14] dtcrshr: Cracking might be bad Jack settings. Need a higher buffer etc. More latency to compensate. [00:14] jebba: so e.g. for yes | aptitude install foo , yes would answer y for any prompt it encountered [00:14] dtcrshr: so.... when you broadcast using whatever server.... audacious is giving a crackling on the playbacks? [00:15] im using icecast [00:15] on a remote server [00:15] dtcrshr: didn't you just say you ran it on the command-line? [00:15] jrib, but it dont do nothing besides the list of comands [00:15] dtcrshr: so, you are NOT broadcasting... you're just playing a stream [00:15] I want a headless router box. Is ubuntu the answer? I ran cent for a couple years and the hard drive quit, just not sure which way I want to go [00:15] dtcrshr: what exactly did you install? [00:15] dtcrshr: Does audacious crackle with any other files besides the ones your recording? [00:15] Just wondering about Ubuntu: I was watching a video file and I moved it on accident while it was playing and it still played. Does Xine\Mplayer\Ubuntu Buffer the video or does Ubuntu let the application know where it was moved to so it can continue playing? [00:16] LinuxGuy2009, well, the recordings are fine [00:16] WinterSky: You can move the windows whereever you want. [00:16] i can not remove the universal access preferences icon from my panel, i have disabled it from startup applications preferences and rebooted, still there. I have removed it from startup applications preferences, still there. can anyone help me? [00:16] te problem is on the playing, im using the audacious tracks as a bg for instance [00:16] brjann: ya, well, it really just needs to hit , not say "y", as i want to leave the password blank. But that seems like quite a kludge. How is it done for cronned`apt-get dist-upgrades` on boxes? This is basically the same situation. [00:16] LinuxGuy2009 It wasn't a window. It was a media file. [00:17] WinterSky: file stays in memory until nothing is using it [00:17] craigbass1976: ubuntu will work for that, but it probably only makes sense if you are already familiar with it. If not, there are distros specifically designed for running as headless routers which are tailored to that function and probably will give you better performance & easier config. [00:17] WinterSky: Oh you mean you moved a file out of a folder while it was playing? [00:17] dtcrshr: sooo... you're doing Tracks mixing? [00:17] LinuxGuy2009 Yes [00:17] dtcrshr: why ot just get Jokosher for that? [00:17] jrib, xmms2 command on the terminal shows a bunch of commands, add, play but none to show me the gui [00:17] WinterSky: It may have tracked the move but I sorta dought it. When the buffer ran out it would have stopped probebly. [00:18] WinterSky: a "move" operation doesn't actually move a file in memory anyway [00:18] dtcrshr: you didn't answer my qusetion [00:18] LinuxGuy2009 Yeah the buffer was probably full. [00:18] Typos_King, well, im using a two track usb audio board, with 2 mics in it. with this i got audacious also playing a sound for bg [00:18] jrib, i didnt understood your question [00:18] jrib: Yeah. So it probably was loaded into ram\buffered. [00:18] Losha, I'm very familiar with ubuntu; been a happy user since dapper. I've just always used centOS for servers, not ubuntu. Well, once I had a xubuntu webserver, but it was temporary [00:18] WinterSky: no, that's not what is happening [00:18] jebba: then you could use yes "" | ... , but it is a kludge, i agree. i'm not sure how the cron jobs do it, though, sorry [00:19] WinterSky: you can even delete the file if you want [00:19] dtcrshr: Why are you using Jack you running multiple streams to one set of outputs or need some feature of jack that a normal playback wont do>? [00:19] WinterSky: it won't actually get deleted until nothing is using it [00:19] dtcrshr: Jack is mostly used for near Zero latency for multitrack recording and stuff like that or complex routing features. [00:19] LinuxGuy2009, im using complex routing features [00:19] i need patchage, jackeq, and jackrack [00:20] dtcrshr: Ardour has multiple tracks and is more than likely gonna be better for what you need. [00:20] i pass the microfones over to a compressor and eq onjackrack before i get then on air [00:20] WinterSky: when you move a file (at least within the same filesystem), the filehandle the program uses to access it remains valid until the process closes the file. This is true even if you delete the file. It's just how it works... [00:20] i dont need to record separated tracks LinuxGuy2009, audacious does the job with the final product [00:20] dtcrshr: what exactly did you install? [00:20] dtcrshr: Well if audacious isnt working then its not working right? [00:20] Cant have it both ways. [00:21] ehhhe, it works for me :P [00:21] jrib, i went to synaptic, and installed xmms2 and xmms2-plugin-jack [00:21] craigbass1976: well as I say, at a pinch, any reasonable distro will serve, but you might as well get one designed for the function. If it comes with a web configuration interface, so much the better... [00:21] dtcrshr: you need to install some sort of client for xmms2 then afaix [00:21] afaik even [00:22] if an nfs mount is 755 owned by www-data:www-data, what permission would allow any user to touch any file owned by www-data:www-data? [00:22] jrib, hm. so xmms is just a service? can you suggest a front end for xmms2? [00:22] Losha, ubuntu is one disc... That's one plus. :) [00:22] LinuxGuy2009, audacious is just playng the bg, i cutted it off right now [00:22] dtcrshr: I cannot, but yes xmms2 is now client/server based [00:22] Losha So it just updates the file handle of the new "Location\Folder Path" even though the file hasn't moved physically on the drive. And the application uses that File Handle that points to the file on the drive? [00:22] hiexpo: yeah but which one is it in?? [00:22] so they are just talking on the microfone, no audio on bg [00:22] Hypnoz, 775 as long as the user in questio is in the www-data group [00:22] craigbass1976: the router distros are even tinier I think you'll find... [00:22] jrib, well. besides audacious, is there a good gui player that talks with jack? [00:23] Hypnoz, are you trying to give yourself access (full run of the mill) to the /var/www directory? [00:23] craigbass1976: its not in the group, but still can [00:23] dtcrshr: if xmms2 is one, why don't just use that? Search synaptic for a gui or read it's official site, I'm sure they will recommend one [00:23] dtcrshr: Ardour does. Its made for Jack use. [00:23] no, nfs export has this ability, but netapp share doesn't have same ability [00:23] LinuxGuy2009, i know. we use ardour to multi track recording [00:23] dtcrshr: So why not use what works then? Why complicate things? [00:23] but ardour is not quite simple to change mp3 tracks [00:24] dtcrshr: personally, I use mpd [00:24] Hypnoz, who owns the directory on the machine doing the sharing out? [00:24] and its not listed in running processes [00:24] what gives? [00:24] www-data:www-data [00:24] lemme put that again. Im using this computer as a radio station. i got 2 mics in, and play audio together on it. i use jack features, so i can use jackeq and jackrack to treat the microfones and to use volumes on the mics [00:24] dtcrshr: Well MP3 players dont need Jack. Jack is meant for latency issues and routing. MP3 playback doesnt require any of that. [00:24] WinterSky: maybe http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-speakingunix14/ is helpful for you [00:24] i just need a good decent mp3 player to do it together [00:25] dtcrshr: Ardour would solve your problem. Just need to learn to use it. [00:25] i've got a problem with an nvidia chipset eth incrementing eth1, eth2, etc to 128 where the mac address changes everytime [00:25] LinuxGuy2009, i understand. but i cant choose between the mic treatment jack gives me and simple mp3 playback [00:25] WinterSky: a local 'move' doesn't actually move anything, it just changes the name entry in the directory, so the filehandle in the program still points to the same (valid) data. Even when you delete a file, the deletion is pending until all open filehandles are closed so the file will continue to play... [00:25] dtcrshr: there's a gxmms2 [00:25] How do I get an external monitor to work with an ubuntu 9.10 latitude cpx. [00:25] i understand this is a result of a bad forcedeth driver [00:25] ? [00:26] dtcrshr: I can tell you just dont know how to operate Ardour. Its a full studio environment. [00:26] Typos_King, THANKS!!! [00:26] this problem has beeen around, but i'm not sure how to solve it. after reading, it keeps getting posted as "won't fix" on the ubuntu bug reporting [00:26] hm. anyone know if it's possible to make a cronjob that runs every 15 min but _not_ at midnight (and by midnight i mean exactly 0, not 0:15) [00:26] any reason ubuntu won't fix this bug? [00:26] LinuxGuy2009, so i would use ardour, and put audacious as an input to a channel? [00:26] Losha: Yeah. That's what I meant if It sounded weird. [00:26] WinterSky: we're are in violent agreement :-) [00:26] Ahmuck: ask the person who changed it to won't fix for an explanation. [00:26] dtcrshr: No you throw audacious out the window and use Ardour. [00:27] chelz: thank you my friend !!!!!! my problem solved.oh my god!!! thank you [00:27] Losha: :) [00:27] heh [00:27] which one [00:27] I have sound issues on 9.04, every time I play any audio file, or any sound at all for that matter, there's a horrible fuzziness to it, like interference. Any ideas to help? I think ALSA is giving me trouble, but messing with it hasn't helped :c [00:27] craigbass1976: from /etc/exports/: /tmp/download *(rw,sync,subtree_check,root_squash,all_squash,anonuid=33,anongid=33) [00:27] i have problem with running 64 bit 9.10 graphic installer want start :( [00:27] LinuxGuy2009, and how do i put multiple mp3 to play on ardour? [00:27] dtcrshr: Its a whole studio what more could you ask for? [00:27] LinuxGuy2009, and change the order?and put other music ? [00:27] dtcrshr: You need to go read the Ardour manual and learn it. [00:28] Hi all. What's the safest ways to remove old kernels? (not just in grub, actually delete the images) [00:28] infecto: can you elaborate? [00:28] jsec: use a package manager [00:28] i use ardour for quite some time for recording. i know it can import a single track [00:28] dtcrshr: My guess is probably just drag and drop files into whatever track you wantg to use for playback. [00:28] but i just think you dont understand what i need here [00:28] Typos_King: ? [00:28] dtcrshr: I use xmms1, there's an old archive for it somewhere.... [00:28] yes, but it goes on the importing proccess [00:28] i need it to play right away [00:29] infecto: can you elaborate/expand/explain/specify? [00:29] as an simple audio player [00:29] Typos_King: i burn 2 cd 64 bit [00:29] and bouth dont work [00:29] some errora that cant read from sr0 dev [00:29] but when i put cd 32 bit all gous ok [00:29] !notwork [00:29] dtcrshr: You seriously need to go read teh manual I cant do it for you. [00:29] ... wrong alias :{ [00:29] jrib, thx. didn't realize it'd be that simple [00:29] craigbass1976: maybe the "all_squash" is doing it [00:30] Typos_King, gxmms2 did the trick, thanks [00:30] no cracks [00:30] infecto: maybe you should settle for hte 32bit one then :) [00:30] jsec: just make sure you don't remove your running kernel [00:30] is rc.local just privalaged commands that are run at startup? [00:30] thanks jrib and LinuxGuy2009 [00:30] sorry for the inconvenience. [00:30] does anyone know PHP to work with PARADOX? [00:30] Typos_King: one then? explain please. [00:31] happyface: Yes I have used rc.local and its cool for running root only commands at startup. [00:31] in bios? [00:31] thans LinuxGuy2009 [00:31] neen: it can be done, but the configuration is tedious, I think you have to list every quarter hour *except* midnight. It might be easier to run a script every 15 minutes and check inside the script for midnight and just skip that particular invocation... [00:31] Hypnoz, I'm not sure; I've only shared out my own /home/me to me on another box. On my own boxes, I usually own /var/www, so when I share out my home dir then www gets shared out as well (since I move /var/www to /home/me and then make a link in /var to /home/me/www) [00:31] i have pavilion dv9000 my bios is so poor [00:31] jrib: will do. i just have a couple custom compiled kernels as well as the generics all the way back to .16, and my grub is looking pretty bloated at this point >_< [00:31] ah [00:31] LinuxGuy2009, when i go to the studio ill call you again [00:31] ok, i see, thanks losha :D [00:31] need some tricks with the bus stuff on ardour [00:31] Hypnoz, that's my only experience with nfs. Does Openoffice still crap out with nfs, or is that fixed now? [00:32] infecto: ... explain? what? I dunno why it may not be working specifically for you, doesn't mean it doesn't at all, you never specified anything to begin with, 'does not work' is not really an explainful sentence on what's happening [00:32] infecto: my understanding is that hp bioses are deliberately hobbled to make support easier... [00:32] craigbass1976: it was the all_squash option, which turns every user into nobody. Then anonuid and anongui are set to 33 putting them as www-data [00:32] Typos_King: i just ask, and say that dont work for me. [00:32] dont understand me wrong [00:33] i`m using linux for a long time, and dont come here to complain. [00:33] just serach answer [00:33] need help with PHP & Paradox DB [00:33] infecto: .... well... can't say.. maybe is as Losha said, some hardware incompatibility [00:33] infecto: so what is your question? [00:33] Losha: no one :) [00:33] hehe [00:33] i geting lucid alpha 3 and we will se :) [00:33] just a 'general wondering'? hehe [00:34] !lucid | infecto [00:34] infecto: 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 [00:34] Losha: yep, i`m present on that # [00:34] and i`m sure that will have some complications. [00:34] zaxonspox: I know some php, no paradox.. sorry :{ [00:34] 9.10 isn't even stable, i had that on my computer for 1 day before I went back to 9.04 [00:35] craigbass1976: apart from that, which was strictly speaking, a configuration issue, nfs is pretty problem free... [00:35] and I tried it 2 days ago [00:35] figuring it would be all patched up by now [00:35] Hypnoz: 9.10 was never claimed to be stable. Only the LTS releases are *supposed* to be stable you know... [00:35] i have had 9.10 since it was release and never had a glitch of problems other than user malfunctions [00:36] happy its working better for you hiexpo [00:36] Losha: where'd you dream that up? [00:36] thanks [00:37] 9.04 has my wireless working, 9.10 couldn't get it working, and I managed to crash grub2 so bad it wouldn't boot anymore [00:37] Typos_King: mayby you could point me to the answer - there is px_get_value() on the php.net [00:37] How can I tell what brand of touchpad I have? I'm using an Acer Aspire One AO532H. I don't see any sign of a Synaptics touchpad in lshal. [00:37] just all the right combitions i guess [00:37] i am honestly scared of grub2 now [00:37] it seems very unstable [00:37] cellofellow: I made it up... [00:37] I threw it (9.10) on a new acer laptop a few weeks ago and it's working ok for me so far [00:37] Hypnoz: we're all scared of grub2... [00:38] is it mandatory to have a swap partition? I have 2 gigs of ram [00:38] craigbass1976: Which Acer laptop? [00:38] yes its mandatory [00:38] coldfire: Hibernate and I think one or two other thinsg need it. [00:38] Ubuntu 9.10 - where do I see a log file of my startup process? I'm seeing some errors and I want to fix. Hate to have poor performance due to quirky startup. [00:38] zaxonspox: not sure how ... that helps though :| [00:38] Fezzler: at command line type "dmesg" [00:39] i have found you need to have a large swap to make it run good so i gave it 5 gig and i have 2 gig ram [00:39] or "tail /var/log/messages" [00:39] coldfire: depends what you mean by mandatory and on how much swap you use. If you run out of swap, programs will terminate prematurely. 2G RAM isn't much by today's standards... [00:39] CountDown, aspire 5517. They're brand new [00:39] Fezzler: dmesg | less; [00:39] hiexpo: there is really no benefit above 2gb of swap I've heard [00:39] hiexpo: should read about optimal swap size [00:39] coldfire: IMO 2GB is way more than enough for Linux. Windows is like the only thing that need 4 or 8 GB. [00:40] CountDown, wireless works on encrypted networks, which I'm not used to (although my old Dell did it too-- I just never tried after Fedora4) [00:40] craigbass1976: Are you able to disable clicking with the touchpad? [00:40] Typhos_King: if i have an array Array([name] => Kod PLU \r [type] => 4 \r [size] => 4) how to get to first field? [00:40] hiexpo: the conventional wisdom is twice the RAM for swap, until you reach 4G. But there's lots of superstition about RAM/swap sizing it's hard to know who to believe... [00:40] craigbass1976: I'm using an Aspire One AO532H and can't figure out how to disable touchpad clicking. [00:40] true but i had spent a week configureing apps on this and dont want to do it again so more is ok less is back to the ole drawing board [00:41] CountDown, I haven't tried it; I've almost always got a mouse. I will try it later if you'd like. [00:41] CountDown: checked in 'sudo lshw' yet? [00:41] craigbass1976: Yes, please do. [00:41] CountDown: you can always check the MB maker's manual you know :P [00:41] CountDown: you want to disable touchpad while you're typing? [00:41] trying to compile KDE 4.4.1. I get this error: http://pastebin.ca/1832796 . How to fix it, does somebody know? [00:41] thanks all [00:42] Typos_King: Not yet. Thanks for the tip. [00:42] Hypnoz: yes, basically. [00:42] i have ran 3 cad programs at once and a video and played a game and it kpt going like the energizer bunny :) [00:42] CountDown: many touchpads are disablable through an options in BIos, I know mine is [00:43] Typos_King: I just want to disable using the touchpad taps as clicks. [00:43] CountDown: 1 sec ill check on my Dell Mini for you. [00:43] CountDown: ... .meh... I don't use it at all, I have a 3button mouse, far better and flexible :P~ so [00:43] what is the ubuntu equivalent of OUTLOOK? Is there a program I can dump all my Outlook emails into? [00:43] LinuxGuy2009: Thanks. There's a lot of chatter about a bug in 9.10 regarding this feature. Good to get another data point. [00:43] coppered: evolution [00:44] Thanks Campee...is that the clear leadeR? [00:44] Typos_King: That's a possibility. [00:44] i believe so [00:44] CountDown: I had a lot of trouble with that in the past due to bugs. Might wanna google your model number and see what shows up... [00:44] thnkx [00:44] CountDown: In 9.04 in mouse preferences there is a check box. If 9.10 is missing this then your probably screwed. [00:44] hello [00:44] allo cell [00:44] Coppered: make backups before you start if possible. Plenty to go wrong.... [00:45] i want help with my ubuntu [00:45] it is 9.04 [00:45] Typos_King>> I don't see the error I see at boot with "dmesg | less" The error is something about bad or missing undev command [00:45] LinuxGuy2009: That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for checking. [00:45] losha i have full backups of all my Outlook files done.

[00:46] can someone help me remove a program that was compiled instead of installed from the repo's? [00:46] i am new to ubuntu but my friends say it is really good [00:46] Does Ubuntu come with an email client preinstalled? [00:46] Coppered, yes, it does. [00:46] but i cant seem to make anything out of it [00:46] which is that? [00:46] help me pls [00:46] Coppered, and there are several others to choose from in the repo's. I think gnome still uses evolution. === zenergi is now known as zenergi_ [00:46] cell: Help you what?

[00:47] I am still AMAZED at how well and FAST Ubuntu runs on this old AMD 266 PC with only 768meg ram. [00:47] arrrghhh: which program was it? Do you have the source? [00:47] help me use the command line === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [00:47] Hypnoz: I've looked at all those already, but thanks for checking. [00:47] Coppered, i prefer thunderbird from mozilla. [00:47] Where can I check "undev" settings? [00:47] Losha, xmlrpc-c, and yes i have the source. [00:47] cell: Do you know the basics first? [00:47] Fezzler: you'd be amazed even more if you ran a light distro [00:47] to install uninstall and stuff pls [00:47] no [00:47] cell check in the programs section for Evolution, is a GUI app, so [00:47] cell: man aptitude [00:47] teach me [00:48] cell: Applications menu, Add/Remove do there to install apps./ [00:48] <[V13]Axel> cell: What are you wanting to install and uninstall? [00:48] arrrghhh: so was it installed using 'make install' ? [00:48] Applications at the top left -> Add/Remove [00:48] you don't need to use the command line to install/uninstall [00:48] Losha, correct. i compiled the advanced tree of xmlprc-c because of a bug with rtgui... [00:48] blakkheim>> Well, I have an old iMac G3 Bondi Blue. Wonder how it would do on that? OS X crawls on it [00:48] but it helps [00:48] flash player [00:48] Fezzler: a debian netinstall or gentoo would fly on that [00:48] for mozilla [00:48] cell, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:48] <[V13]Axel> Just download the .deb from Adobe, and double click it. [00:48] cell: adobe.com and download flash for 8.04+ [00:48] arrrghhh: if you're lucky, you can do 'sudo make uninstall'.... [00:49] blakkheim>> Ubuntu fanboy [00:49] <[V13]Axel> cell: Just download the .deb from Adobe, and double-click it. [00:49] Coppered, Opera has a pretty good email client built-in, I could never get Ubuntu's email clients working with gmail's imap [00:49] Losha, yea... not so lucky. i tried that. [00:49] if you're running 64 bit its harder [00:49] seanbrystone, even thunderbird? [00:49] running karmic on a tablet pc. xdpyinfo says that screen is 800x600 but the aspect ratio is wrong. clues? [00:49] thunderbird is good too [00:49] i used the command line it done with download but i dont know where to og to install it [00:49] Thank Sean....my issue is 100% outlook conversion..... [00:49] seanbrystone2, why two users lol? [00:49] Fezzler: that's fine, but you're not experiencing the speed you could be :) [00:49] thunderbird works goof for gmail [00:49] Typos_King>> Any ideas on "undev" boot error. Must be a setting. In fstab? [00:49] I have to dump my entire past of Outlook into ....X....so looking at all options. [00:49] good* [00:49] Cell: from command line can you type "uname -m" and paste the output [00:50] cell: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree; [00:50] arrrghhh: ok, so you have to do it the hard way. Run 'make install' again, and keep a log of all the output. Then go through it, and every time it installs a file, you need to delete whatever it installed by hand. Fun, no? [00:50] Coppered, thunderbird is probably going to be the best-recommended client [00:50] <[V13]Axel> cell: Typos_King has it correct. [00:50] blakkheim>> Ok, I'll bit. What distro? EZ to set up? [00:50] Losha, sounds like fun! i figured it was something like that. [00:50] Typos_King: does that work even with 64 bit? [00:50] ok [00:50] Fezzler: gentoo is the ultimate speed demon, but it is not for newer users [00:50] arrrghhh, oops :) [00:50] thunderbird or evoltuion....but it sounds like thunderbird....does NOT have a calendar.. [00:50] Hypnoz is in the repos, I'd supposed so [00:50] thanks typos [00:50] cell: Installing flash in ubuntu is no different than in Windows. Download it and double click it. [00:50] Losha: paco/gpaco or checkinstall [00:50] forgot my other irc was on [00:51] Losha: tracks installed files with make scripts [00:51] Losha, perhaps i can get around this issue... can i recompile all the packages that are having an issue with the custom version of xmlrpc-c or am i just screwed? [00:51] blakkheim>> WHere can I see the messages that scroll during boot up? [00:51] Fezzler: dmesg | less; [00:51] blakkheim>> are they logged? [00:52] Typos_King: don't think you can put a ; at the end [00:52] Typos_King>> I did that but didn't see the error message in there [00:52] arrrghhh: one way to cheat is to install a repository version on top of the compiled version, overwriting all the compiled files, then apt-get remove it. When the repo version files get removed, it should all disappear. Nasty, isn't it? [00:52] arrrghhh: recompiling apps with deb-src packages is done all the time [00:52] Typos_King>> something about bad setting in undev [00:52] Hypnoz: bash takes ; just fine :) hehe [00:52] in boot loader how can i delete the old generics of ubuntu and keep just the latest one ? [00:52] ah [00:52] anybody know about getting a tv tuner card to work? saa2134 and such? [00:52] Losha: that's an interesting idea [00:53] chelz: is correct, you could've used checkinstall, though it doesn't always work... [00:53] Losha, hrm... you think that'll work? i think i already tried using purge with aptitude, i'm not sure about that specific xmlrpc package. [00:53] hm. okay, now say i want to remove all of the files in a directory that were there before today...how can i do that? i know i can use find ./ -mtime 1 to find the ones that are 24 hours old, but some will be < 24 hours old and still from yesterday [00:53] devdz: delete the lines in /etc/grub/menu.lst [00:53] devdz: You dont need to remove kernels. [00:53] it now says setting up flashplugin-nonfree [00:53] anyone know if both Evolution and Thunderbird....synch with Blackberry/ [00:53] ? [00:53] is it done now [00:53] Hypnoz, doesn't work so well with grub2... [00:53] cuz my prompt is there [00:53] i have information that i think would be very helpful to a thread on ubuntuforums.org but i don't have an account and don't feel like getting one just to post - would someone mind making a follow up for me? [00:53] devdz: sorry /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:53] Hypnoz: it can do multi's in a one-liner, echo "chese"; cat myfile; dmesg; ... [00:53] Hypnoz, er sorry. got that backwards. [00:53] if you don't remove the kernels, the next time grub reconfigures it'll put them back in [00:53] Typos_King>> I'm gonna reboot so I can write down the exact error. IS there a way to pause the booting so I have time to read and write it? [00:54] heeh [00:54] can somone help me? [00:54] removing kernels is the 'proper' way to fix grubs menu permanently [00:54] ask [00:54] arrrghhh: it works fine as long as the repo version uses the same files as the compiled version (which should be the case unless some really radical changes have been made). Has the bug gone from the repo version? Is that why you no longer want the compiled version? [00:54] ok i was going to install ubuntu on an external USB hard drive and not on my primary drive AT ALL! and when i was installing it i quadruple checked everything and when it finnished it had switched my primary drive with windows 7 to drive E; and my external USB drive to drive C: and it will not load any OS i have talked to many and they say either to format and reinstall or there is fix options for this on the windows 7 CD [00:54] Typos_King: ; causes all commands to execute no matter if the one before was successful. && only keeps going if prev was successful [00:54] apt-get autoremove I think removes old kernels. [00:54] wassup ppls? i have a BIG problem right now... [00:54] Fezzler just save it to a file -> dmesg > ~/bootmsg.log; and then open ~/bootmsg.log on any text editor of your choice [00:54] was using fedora 12 and it crapped out on me... [00:54] Losha, well the compiled version seems to be segfaulting rtorrent. rtorrent works great, but segfaults as soon as a call is made.

[01:07] boildog: usually means hte HD is going south, you can try giving it a diagnosis with smart tools 'sudo apt-get install smartmontools' [01:07] chelz, this is an asus eee 701, the only thing that changes the backlight is gnome - it's not a driver nor is it the hardware [01:07] no idleone [01:07] wat did you say? [01:07] !who | cell [01:07] cell: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:07] cell: it shows no Skype? [01:07] airtonix: :) [01:08] typos; nope [01:08] * airtonix grumbles [01:08] typos;it says here skytools-database management tools from skype postgreSQL [01:08] Losha, damnit. rtorrent keeps segfaulting! [01:09] cell: ok... try this -> sudo apt-get update; and when that's done, retry -> apt-cache search skype; [01:09] chelz, thank you [01:09] typos; wa is the package name? [01:09] aperson: did you fix it somehow? [01:09] arrrghhh: which os, rtorrent and libtorrent versions? [01:09] chelz, your link helped point me to what I needed [01:09] aperson: what was the fix? [01:09] * Typos_King checks skype's site [01:09] chelz, I there is a gconf key that I changed [01:09] aperson: what key? [01:09] Losha, it's ubuntu-server... it's karmic, but has been upgraded several times. i believe rtorrent is at 0.8.2 and libtorrent is 0.12.2 [01:10] aperson: but good to hear, glad it worked. [01:10] chelz, /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/enable [01:10] Newbie question: Is GNOME the default desktop of Ubuntu? [01:10] * cellofellow uses deluge-webui on his server. Rtorrent sucks. [01:10] Coppered: yes [01:10] cell: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ <--- [01:10] Thanks. [01:10] chelz, I have yet to test it, but the description leads me to believe it's what I want [01:10] aperson: alright. i'd be curious if that fixes it [01:10] ypos thanks [01:11] typos; thanks [01:11] arrrghhh: hmm. can't guarantee that works, I'm on 8.04/0.8.0/0.12.0. Do you get a backtrace? [01:11] Next newbie question: In a Windows enviroment where its critical to have an antivirus software (AVG, Avast, etc)....will I need oen also on my Ubuntu? If so...which do you recommend. [01:11] chelz, I spoke too soon, it would seem :/ [01:12] Losha, i get nothing... is there some special way to run it to get a backtrace? [01:12] Coppered; yes, they have different flavors though, kubuntu, xubuntu, eeebuntu... and another one [01:12] Those are antivirus programs? [01:12] arrrghhh: cellofellow: might just be easier to use a different client: transmission, deluge, etc... [01:12] cellofellow, i found deluge sucks, rtorrent runs with hardly any footprint and is ridiculously customizable. and it's working fine... xmlrpc calls to it on the other hand. [01:12] Coppered: yep, both free and proprietary [01:12] Kubuntu is anotehr version of Ubuntu...not AV software. [01:12] arrrghhh: ok... [01:13] aperson: aha. one thing you might try is getting ubuntu into a mode where neither gnome or gdm are running and see if the backlight dims. i'm betting it's a driver thing. [01:13] arrrghhh: did you say you had an strace? Wanna pastebin the last page of it? [01:13] ...getting lost here....i thought Kubuntu was form of Ubuntu......... [01:13] chelz, it's not a driver thing, I'm 100% positive on this [01:13] Losha, sure! i'd love to have some help deicphering the strace. [01:13] aperson: how do you know if you haven't tested? [01:13] arrrghhh: well, no promises.... [01:13] chelz, how do you know I didn't? [01:13] how many people here masterbate 4+ times a day? [01:14] omg [01:14] only when i was 12 [01:14] im 35 today...no. [01:14] lol [01:14] aperson: what was your test? [01:14] chelz, well, given that it doesn't do it in other distros... [01:14] Coppered: kubuntu is basically ubuntu with kde installed.... [01:14] need some clarification here.....does Ubuntu...come preloaded with AntiVirus softwre? [01:14] aperson: you could try rebooting ubuntu into recovery mode and just waiting on the menu see if it dims, or select going into a root console [01:14] skraps: if you could at least spell correctly :P [01:14] Losha..exactly. So what do i do abotu AV software? [01:14] aperson: other distros might have a different driver loaded [01:14] !virus | Coppered [01:14] Coppered: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:15] Typos_King: am i moving into your territory ? Typos? [01:15] thanks [01:15] Coppered: antivirus, or audio-visual? [01:15] anti virus [01:15] or is not needed.....thus eutopia [01:15] Coppered: so far, no needed on linux.... [01:15] lovely [01:15] i feel younger already. [01:16] skraps, just ignore him, I do. [01:16] chelz, I can double check [01:16] Coppered: it's a principal reason most of us feel it's worth the hassle [01:16] skraps: no but I gather you want #singles_and_lonely :P [01:17] OK my CD is ready!! [01:17] this is scary [01:17] Coppered: you'll do fine [01:17] :) [01:17] Coppered: got backups? [01:17] Losha, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/392917/ - that's the short one... [01:17] yep everything on the external [01:18] Coppered: you're good to go then [01:18] sounds like it [01:18] Typos_King: roflmao you know it!!! too good. :D [01:18] HEY GUYS Keep the good work going... im glad to be part of this Ubuntu family ^_^ [01:18] ok here we go restarting computer [01:19] Coppered: you can get antivirus apps for *nix as well, no OS is immune to malicous code though... I've run win32 with no antivirus 98% of the time, and barely ever gotten any.... sooooooo, they help I guess, but I do the same on *nix as well [01:19] arrrghhh: Um, it's all mixed in with the cli output. Can you re-run it with -o /tmp/trace.txt or some such? [01:19] this is like trying to watch rugby on tv. There's a lot going on, but I have no idea what it is [01:19] seanbrystone2: its good to cut up and go back and forth at times. as long as no one gets but hurt. Its all in fun ;D [01:19] johnislost: well, do you have a question? [01:19] *butt [01:19] Thanks Typos...i will look around and see what antivir is avialle [01:19] ok [01:20] here we go!! turning on the comptuer with teh install CD in [01:20] HEY GUYS Keep the good work going... im glad to be part of this Ubuntu family ^_^ [01:20] time to dive! [01:20] typos; i use 9.04 the ones here are 8.10 ??? [01:20] losha, i'm trying to get a tv tuner card to work with tv time, but i've got some chipset deal mixed up [01:20] i think ill go with English!! [01:20] cell: chances are they'll work [01:20] hehehehe [01:20] cell: it means 8.10 or later [01:20] How do I determine the make and model of my touchpad? I tried lshal and sudo lshw and lspci, but I don't see anything that mentions a touchpad. [01:21] Coppered no swahili? alrite then [01:21] cell: you are using a later version, so it will work [01:21] should i do this CHECK disk for defects? [01:21] or go straight to Install? [01:21] test memory? [01:21] johnislost: what chipset/tv card? [01:21] ok thanks all [01:21] Coppered: if you want to, if you already verified your iso when you burnt it you should be okay [01:21] im going ot install [01:21] I agree with typos, I dont use AV with windows and have only got back doored by people I thought I could trust. But for Linux Clam AV is a good choice if you just want to be safe. Iv only used ClamAV in conjunction with qmail and spamaassasin not for my desktop tho [01:21] Coppered: only worth doing a checkdisk if something starts to go wrong.... [01:21] shes off! [01:22] losha, it's a philips saa7134 [01:22] i need help replacing my bootloader [01:22] to incorporate windows 7 [01:22] jagjr: elaborate [01:22] My power went out today, when I rebooted my ubuntu machine I cannot connect to my mpd server, my samba server, or open ssh, the Ip is the same and grabbed via dhcp, any ideas? [01:22] Losha, oh ok. i've never really used strace before. hrm... can't get it to segfault, and none of the pages are loading. [01:22] i followed the tutorials [01:22] nice new symbole....never seen that. [01:22] jagjr: what version of ubuntu? [01:22] i put [01:22] 9.10 [01:22] jagjr: do you have grub1 or grub2? [01:22] grub 1.5 [01:22] I just need to figure out if my touchpad is Synaptics, Elantech, ALPS, or something else. [01:22] how can i tell if my motherboard uses sata 1.5 or sata 3.0 from terminal? [01:23] this is so cool [01:23] CountDown, i'd imagine dmesg would give you some info in that area... [01:23] madscientist032: sudo lshw [01:23] i feel like im escaping a religion [01:23] NotTooSmart: try setting a static ip and rebooting it [01:23] good by abraham! [01:23] heres my fdisk and menu.lst [01:23] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tfZb22gs [01:23] chelz; how do i know i am using 32-bit or 64-bit [01:23] wheres firefox installed by default?\ [01:23] johnislost: it's supposed to be a 'well-supported' chipset. What does dmesg say about it? [01:23] the lightning extension is not working for me in Thunderbird [01:24] Purpley, "installed"? like where your firefox profile is? [01:24] Could someone point me to how to install lamp in ubuntu 9.10? or an up to date link? [01:24] Well I need to launch it, how do I do that? [01:24] Purpley, on the path === DcMeese_ is now known as DcMeese [01:24] mgaffney, Elaborate please [01:24] Purpley, did you try a firefox from the terminal? [01:24] Purple IIRC the latest doesn't come with an installer.... it just unzips, and it'll run from wherever you unzip it at [01:24] Purpley, yea should be in /usr/bin which s/b in your PATH [01:24] Purpley: its not in the menu? [01:25] cell: if "uname -a" in a terminal has "_64" in it [01:25] arrrghhh: so you're saying when you run it under strace, it doesn't work? [01:25] Sigh, Its in my menu I need to find its directory for a file [01:25] Purpley, you can also do a 'which firefox' from the command line which will tell you where it is [01:25] Purpley: Applications > Internet [01:25] Purple: other than that, you can just check with -> whereis firefox; [01:25] losha a whole lot of this [ 2328.379703] tuner-simple 2-004b: i2c i/o error: rc == -5 (should be 4) [01:25] [ 2328.651282] tuner-simple 2-004b: i2c i/o error: rc == -5 (should be 4) [01:25] [ 2328.921643] tuner-simple 2-004b: i2c i/o error: rc == -5 (should be 4) [01:25] [ 2329.192201] tuner-simple 2-004b: i2c i/o error: rc == -5 (should be 4) [01:25] johnislost: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:25] Losha, well for whatever reason the php frontends i use don't load (can't connect to rtorrent) but for some reason it won't segfault. ah crap it just did! [01:26] chelz: its got the correct ip... [01:26] Losha, said stack dump not enabled. let me see if the strace has anything useful in it [01:26] johnislost: that's a bad sign. Are you even sure the card is good? [01:26] Purpley: there is also the hidden folder in the home folder which has some of Firefox config files etc [01:26] Could someone point me to how to install lamp in ubuntu 9.10? or an up to date link? [01:26] chelz? [01:26] Losha, good god it's almost 10mb of text. do you just want the last oh megabyte or all of it?!? [01:26] Purple: are you looking for the configuration/profile files for the user? [01:27] Question...i am now at the Configure Partition section of the Ubuntu install...........should I have 2 partitions....one for Ubuntu and one for the programs i later install....or just one? [01:27] serverduck: run "sudo aptitude", open the Tasks section, find and install LAMP. [01:27] Typos_King, no im looking for the executable file [01:27] jagjr: try a uuid instead of root for the window 7 [01:27] cellofellow, thank you sir! [01:27] arrrghhh: just the last page in pastebin for starters.... [01:27] hmmm ok ill try [01:27] losha it works great on my win2k drive. this is the only app that i can't get to work right on my new install [01:27] need some thought here friends... [01:27] Typos_King, Ill find it though [01:27] jagjr: "/apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/enable" in a terminal to find uuids [01:27] erm [01:28] jagjr: "blkid -c /dev/null" [01:28] i have 6 Gb of RAM, and i want the possibility to disable the Swap in order to save HDD usage... This is a good idea ??? [01:28] Losha, nothing's jumping out, here it be - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/392921/ [01:28] serverduck: ehehe lamp? well, you already have the 'L', install Apache2 and that gives you the 'A' and 'P', install mysql and that gives the 'M' [01:28] Question...i am now at the Configure Partition section of the Ubuntu install...........should I have 2 partitions....one for Ubuntu and one for the programs i later install....or just one? [01:28] enav: disable? [01:28] My power went out today, when I rebooted my ubuntu machine I cannot connect to my mpd server, my samba server, or open ssh, the Ip is the same and grabbed via dhcp, any ideas? [01:28] johnislost: start googling, card model number and/or chipset then my friend... [01:28] arrrghhh: "dmesg | grep input" lists for Macintosh mouse button emulation and ImPS/2 generic Wheel Mouse. [01:28] chelz : would it matter that i have two NTFS for one windows? [01:28] enav: if you ever run out of ram, programs will be killed at random. so probably not. just set a smaller swap. [01:28] enav: or just repartition without swap? [01:28] zetheroo yes disable [01:28] Coppered, you may want to make a separate partition for /home, but that's all i recommend. [01:29] Typos_King, well i don't know how to install AMP...yes i have L [01:29] I never used more than 3 Gb [01:29] jagjr: no, that should not matter. you should only need to point grub at the windows partition with the system files. [01:29] what is home? ..a long time ago...i used to run the OS in one partition.....and all installed programmes in another... [01:29] enav: I would not disable ... but i would give 512 MB of swap instead of 6gb :P [01:29] it worked well...maybe that is not an issue here...and i just go for 1 [01:29] CountDown, i thought it would have touchpad info also. [01:29] enav: as long as you know what you are doing, that can be done. swap is an emergency thing to have though. [01:29] chelz : i know , but i got system reserved for win 7 ... that contains stuff.. i think the bootfiles but not sure [01:29] Coppered: just use 1 [01:30] enav: although I did run Ubuntu on a 2GB system with no swap at all ... [01:30] Coppered, making a separate partition for /home just makes it easy to upgrade [01:30] :) [01:30] jagjr: set the uuid to one of them and try rebooting. if it doesn't work, set the uuid to the other [01:30] enav: I guess it depends somewhat on what your doing .. [01:30] ok [01:30] i will upgrade in April....is that an issue? [01:30] losha, thanks, thats what i've been doing and am too new to know what i've found. [01:30] Coppered, you can wipe your main partition that has all your installs, but keep all your personal files and some configuration. [01:30] maybe i need to read more about linux swap but i think is lake the page file of windows using the hard drive constantly... and decreasing its live [01:30] is like* [01:30] chelz : my uuid for the other is System Reserved would that be System_Reserved? [01:30] for the upgrade in April..to the latest Ubuntu...if i go with just 1 partition.....any issue? [01:31] CHelz? [01:31] arrrghhh: "dmesg | grep touch" comes up empty and "dmesg | grep pad" only lists one line about VIA Padlock not detected. [01:31] Coppered: nope, no issues other than normal upgrading issues [01:31] Coppered, no you can upgrade easily, but to do a clean wipe - just makes it easier to have a separate /home. not required by any means. [01:31] Coppered: backup /etc/ and /home/ [01:31] i have no idea what the home issue is [01:31] i have no home [01:31] so will skip that [01:31] CountDown, did you look at dmesg as a whole? [01:31] :) [01:31] Coppered: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:31] would anyone be willing to give me help with Samba? I started by sharing a folder on my Ubuntu machine, and on this Windows 7 machine is can find the Linux computer, and it makes me log in using that user's credentials but it wont let me explore the folders [01:31] Coppered, you will have a /home, trust me :D [01:31] arrrghhh: Not yet. [01:32] arrrghhh: the only thing that looks suspicious is these: accept(5, 0xbfc437ac, [16]) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable). Accept means an incoming connection, presumably from a p2p peer. Not sure why there would be insufficient resources for it. You could spend a lot of time on this and get nowhere. Really consider using a different client.... [01:32] serverduck: ehehe lamp? well, you already have the 'L', install Apache2 and that gives you the 'A' and 'P', install mysql and that gives the 'M' <---- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server-5.0 [01:32] grrrr [01:32] jagjr: when you boot do you see a grub screen? is the issue just that windows won't boot? [01:32] the lucid also dont want to start ::) [01:32] anyone using wicd? [01:32] I've got a question if so [01:32] My power went out today, when I rebooted my ubuntu machine I cannot connect to my mpd server, my samba server, or open ssh, the Ip is the same and grabbed via dhcp, any ideas? [01:32] Hello! How is everyone? [01:32] Losha, hrm that's depressing. rtorrent was working great, and i'm assuming something upgraded from the repo and broke that custom install of xmlrpc i installed. what do you recommend for cli torrent clients that have a web frontend? [01:32] Typos_King, and php??? [01:32] thouse 64 bits version of ubuntu are strange ;) [01:33] chelz : i see a grub screen .. i can choose to boot into linux or windows. i can boot into linux but not into windows [01:33] johnislost: well, you shouldn't be seeing i/o errors. Try googling for those along with your card/chipset [01:33] brb trying [01:33] MrD_: sounds like a permissions problem you may need to set the folders in linux to sudo chmod 755 [01:33] Maybe random, but I have to say: Final Fantasy XIII [01:33] is awesome!!! [01:33] 66.243846 end-request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1433856 [01:33] I chmodded it to 777 [01:33] serverduck: Apache webserver already comes with PHP as module, don't need to add anything extra, and also has mysql modules for accessing the server [01:33] arrrghhh: Looks like there's a psmouse, but no brand. [01:33] thats my error [01:33] arrrghhh: do you know exactly when it broke? If so, you can check the package log in /var/log/dpkg.log for a likely suspect... [01:33] 66.24897 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 179232. [01:34] brjann: export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive [01:34] arrrghhh: I use rtorrent :-) [01:34] serverduck: thus it gives you the 'a' and 'p' [01:34] Losha, not the exact time, but i know the day. and damnit i LOVE rtorrent. i don't want to use another client. [01:34] jebba: aha, good to know :) thanks [01:34] it asks me for credientials again, but when i put in the same ones that let me access the computer in the first place it doenst work [01:34] NotTooSmart: are all those servers separate machines? or where are they all running? [01:34] chelz: one machine [01:34] NotTooSmart: what os are you using to try to connect to it? [01:35] arrrghhh: check the logs and see what was installed on that day. You may be able to back something out and win.... [01:35] chelz: um, im doing it locally [01:35] Typos_King, thank you...long live the king! :) [01:35] Losha, ...ok i'll see... [01:35] chelz: and on winxp and its just not working [01:35] Typos_King>> Okay. The boot error is something about a faulty rule in udev? [01:35] serverduck: thank you, thank you very much [01:35] chelz: I have one machine that runs mpd, samba and openssh, its ubuntu 9.10 [01:35] Typos_King>> Anything to be concerned about? [01:36] NotTooSmart: is this the first time you've had issues after rebooting? have you tried rebooting once? [01:36] chelz: yea never had problems before today [01:36] Fezzler: try pasting it on a pastebin..... like say.. paste at pastie.org for us to see [01:36] NotTooSmart: how are you verifying what IP ubuntu has? [01:36] chelz: I can ping out from the server to google etc and ifconfig -a shows it as being the right ip [01:36] ah [01:36] Losha, hrm... i don't see anything really. what else could've broken xmlrpc? [01:36] Typos_King, :))) ahahhahahahha you made my day! [01:36] <__mikem> does anyone know if its possible to get the new gdm and gtk themes for lucid in the the current release? [01:37] chelz: idk whats going on [01:37] NotTooSmart: have you tried restarting the server? [01:37] Typos_King>> I know how to do that. Where do I find the boot log? dmesg ain't it [01:37] chelz: twice [01:37] NotTooSmart: start at the beginning. Can you ping the server? [01:37] Losha: hmm, pinging does not seem to work atm.. [01:37] NotTooSmart: do you have any other computers running ubuntu besides the server you can use? [01:38] chelz: umm, nope... [01:38] ok it didnt work [01:38] for the uuid [01:38] NotTooSmart: do you have console access to the server? [01:38] Request: is there a page that clearly tells me what a Encrypted Home Folder is? I selected it to use the same password as my log in id. [01:38] Losha: yea [01:38] <__mikem> 7 [01:38] <__mikem> oops [01:38] I will have a folder that is encrypted in case of loss? [01:38] NotTooSmart: then login to the server & see if you can ping out... [01:38] Coppered: if it's a laptop, you definitely should [01:39] it is a lap top. [01:39] Losha: yea I can [01:39] can i change the password later on that encrypted home folder? [01:39] typos;the skype says error;wrong architecture 'amd64' [01:39] Coppered: it uses your main password, there's no difference in using ubuntu with it and without it for normal usage [01:39] cell: get the non64bit then [01:40] can i change the password later if like? [01:40] Coppered: yes [01:40] NotTooSmart: that's good, it probably means your nic wasn't damaged by the power outage. Run 'ifconfig -a' and check the ip address... [01:40] chelz;ok [01:40] Losha: ok hold on [01:40] can i make Totem not use Overlay? I would like to see the videos transformed properly on the Compiz Cube [01:40] so the home folder is where i store all my personal files? [01:41] NotTooSmart: home servers should have static IPs set, for the record avoids issues down the line. [01:41] Fezzler: dmesg IS the boot log usually [01:41] chelz; do you know how to set the vpn??? [01:41] Coppered: yes. stuff like media, email, browsing history, etc [01:41] Losha: it says its 192.168.1.3 which is what I want [01:41] Typos_King>> I'll look again.

I don't understand why this has happened [01:58] Chaosmeika: ah i'm not experienced with grub2, but on grub1 when you are in the grub menu, highlight the ubuntu line you want to boot, press "e", then go to the line starting with "kernel" and put that at the end [01:58] Losha: it brings me to my /home directory like it should do by default === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [01:58] switch10_: echo $HOME [01:58] Some_Person, swap is not a good idea,,, Ext 2 is considered safer than 3 or 4 by some people [01:58] sebi_`: /home/dave [01:59] switch10_: well, cd ~ then [01:59] Rave1: I don't need swap (my HD can deal with that). Why ext2 over 3/4 though? [01:59] My home is on its own partition if that helps at all [01:59] switch10_: you most likely opened a root terminal in nautilus [01:59] hmw, hmm..i did that but it comes of a bunch of things i dont have qlue about [02:00] Some_Person, something about journaling if I remember correctly [02:00] hey guys, is there a way to add multiple virtual ips in ubuntu instead of adding them one by one? [02:00] sebi_`: when I go to apps>accesories>terminal it works correctly [02:00] Rave1: Well, ext2 has no journaling, while ext3 and ext4 do [02:00] claws: don't let yourself get confused about all the cryptic stuff... 1) you will see stuff, you understand every now and then 2) you will learn the rest over time. ... did you see something about your web cam? [02:00] hi [02:00] switch10_; how about a 'whoami'? [02:00] i have a problem [02:00] switch10_: obviously [02:00] ubuntu provides a way to change the subpixel order in the System -> Preferences -> Appearance menu, in the Fonts tab and in the Details button. I have two monitors and each uses a different subpixel order, so fonts render ugly on one vs. the other. Does anyone know if it's possible to set different subpixel order on each monitor? [02:00] Some_Person, that is the point [02:00] where is the ubuntu.restricted-modules package in karmic??? [02:01] i mean linux-restricted-modules [02:01] sebi_`: How do I make a keyboard short cut to open a terminal then? [02:01] switch10_: install nautilus-actions, it will install shortcuts for opening a terminal [02:01] Rave1: Can the same ubuntu installation (on an SD) be used on 2 computers (I don't actually need to be able to do this, though it would be handy)? [02:01] * Typos_King dashes [02:01] hmw, yes [02:02] Some_Person, I am not sure with ubuntu never used it that way [02:02] hmw, failed to initialize the device [02:02] sebi_`: I/ve always had gnome-terminal linked to a keyboard shortcut and it worked fine before.

[02:03] Some_Person, give me a bit I will try something [02:03] Coppered: you should use ubuntuzilla for later firefoxes, not the one that comes from mozilla [02:03] Rave1: ok [02:03] good save [02:03] thanks [02:03] :) [02:03] Coppered: to instal the latest stable fx use either the 'firefox-stable-ppa' or 'ubuntuzilla' repos [02:04] connected [02:04] hello :D [02:04] Guys... how do i set up a webcan ?

[02:09] Coppered: ubuntu does come with firefox btw [02:09] mine did chelz [02:09] i have firecfox right here [02:09] Coppered: yeah. like that. for any software you need you should rarely have to look anywhere besides the Software Center [02:10] Some_Person, theSD booted in my other laptop but the screen res is totally off and unusable [02:10] k [02:10] Coppered, he's saying firefox is included with ubuntu... just like evolution.

[02:13] NO [02:13] actually idk [02:13] Coppered: just searching in the Software Center should have almost everything. if something doesn't come up after you searched for it, then you might have to look elsewhere. but that should be very rare. [02:13] ok [02:13] looking for skype now [02:13] in ubuntu 9.10, does movie player play avi files out of the box? [02:13] hmw, i have opened skype...

Just open Skype, go to Options (ctrl + O), go to "Video Devices" and click test in the top right area [02:15] hmw, im in there [02:15] claws: perhaps you need to choose your webcam first (left of that test area) [02:15] Coppered: did you burn the i386 or amd64 disc? [02:15] no idea... [02:15] i think i386 [02:15] Coppered: probably 32bit then [02:15] ya [02:16] Coppered: that is most likely. yes. [02:16] anybody?

Im not sure why this one wont. [03:14] Dunkirk: run synaptic package manager and click installed local or obselete, I think they should appear in amongst those [03:14] this is odd. anyone know about video driver issues? [03:15] rastasean: what kind of card? [03:15] quickard: He just said ati radeon hd 4350 [03:15] quickard, ati radeon hd 4350 [03:16] =/ [03:16] :) [03:16] anto9us: I see what you're talking about. [03:16] rastasean: earlier radeon cards had memory limits causing similar problems. perhaps you can find something on the web regarding max_texture_size or so [03:16] Guest87763: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then install it again ? [03:16] But I was looking for a dpk-? command of some sort. [03:16] hmw, the odd thing is it was working monday prior to a re-install of ubuntu 9.10 64 bit [03:16] rastasean: have you tried the settings on the monitor itself? [03:16] Guest87763: hang on... what video card you using ? [03:17] Dunkirk: Just know what apps you installed from other repos and remove them and reinstall them. [03:17] anto9us, yes, i didn't change anything in the regard. further, when the ati drivers are removed, the entire screen fills up but just mushed down slightly [03:17] monitor is hanns*g 23" [03:17] I had a similar problem on my machine, I have a nvidia card though. finally got it by messing with the hz [03:18] quickard, hz being horizontal? [03:18] LinuxGuy2009: Well, that's kind of the problem. I'm not sure what I had that pulled in the newer versions of some packages that gave me a problem, so I don't know what else is lurking. [03:18] rastasean: I have found when timings are a bit different that monitor needs adjusting via its OSD Menu [03:18] I don't know what I don't know. :-/ [03:19] Dunkirk: Well thats what happens when you introduce new repos. Its your responsibility to keep track. If problems arise then they are self inflicted. [03:19] Hello!!! [03:19] there is very little for me to change, anto9us in the menu system [03:19] what are the most common terminal lines to check my hardware [03:19] Dunkirk: Perhaps restore a recent backup and go from there. [03:19] in fact, i can't adjust hz [03:19] LinuxGuy2009: Dude, that's bullcrap. The POINT of a package manager is to KEEP TRACK of this. I KNOW there's a way to do this. I just don't have the incantation on Ubuntu. [03:20] rastasean: is there a reset option in there? [03:20] This stuff was CAKE on Gentoo. [03:20] Dunkirk: Well your not in Gentoo anymore toto. [03:20] rastasean: In my driver settings I can adjust the operating hz of the display card [03:20] @TxPitou-i just need to get to the desktop or change the video settings from the terminal... i can get on great with and without the t.v. with the flash card... Stumped [03:20] anto9us, yes and i just did that. nothing changed. i'm going to reboot because i recently deleted the ati drivers. brb [03:20] LinuxGuy2009: Well played. [03:21] Dunkirk: But seriously what excactly are you trying to do. Ill give it an honest shot. [03:21] Mmk! So, I'm trying to change the default file manager in GNOME on 9.10 to Krusader. I'm not having a whole lot of luck. [03:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager [03:21] something that would help identify the version of my motherboard [03:21] If I just change all the instances of Thunar in that to Krusader, should that work? [03:21] major_redhat: lshw [03:22] Or just leave that works too. hehe [03:22] major_redhat: lshw, lspci, lsusb, dmesg [03:24] anto9us, hmw, thanks [03:24] major_redhat: boot in bios... best bet [03:24] TxPitou: yeah but BIOS isnt as detailed as lshw is [03:24] hello? [03:24] how to uninstall a compiled program? \ [03:25] TxPitou: but thanks anyways [03:25] major_redhat: what are you looking for ? [03:25] ShazbotMcNasty: thar is usually tricky - if youre lucky, the make file contains an uninstall option [03:25] i am just starting UBUNTU... i have downloaded, set my prefrences, but now when i reboot, it isnt letting me open Ubuntu? [03:25] i am just starting UBUNTU... i have downloaded, set my prefrences, but now when i reboot, it isnt letting me open Ubuntu? [03:25] wanted to know what the chipset was for my motherboard [03:26] Death_: 9.10? [03:26] so that i can hopefully find a replacement CPU for it [03:26] Yes LinuxGuy2009 [03:26] Death_, is there a error? [03:26] or just blank screen? [03:26] no [03:26] Death_: Yeah thats pretty common on the systems I tested too. [03:26] i rebot, it opens windows [03:26] major_redhat: what brand is motherboard, many manufacturers (intel , asus for examples) have web site interface that can "probe and get you full details on your chipsets [03:26] Death_: what exactly happens? [03:26] so i'm back after deleting the ati drivers and now my menu bar is on my second monitor [03:26] Death_, did you put it on a cd? [03:27] its a dell and the hard drive is DEAD so im using a live CD to do all this from the terminal [03:27] i have a 18" crt that displays everything correct but menu bar is on the wrong monitor [03:27] Death_ check your bios, if writing to the MBR /boot sector is allowed. Often called "Virus protection" or similar [03:27] Death_: No grub boot menu? [03:27] Death_: if "virus protection" is ENabled, that would explain why you dont have GRUB [03:27] if i reboot with the CD, i get the original screen, then when i install again and get to the partition screen... and i can see the last partition i set [03:27] well we need to make sure he didn't just dl and hope it boots [03:27] major_redhat: dell . oh easy, behind box you have a service tag #, goto web site, enter tag it will tell you eveything in technical details about your board, I just fixed an xps400 for a friend that way.. [03:28] so you didn't do it right... [03:28] TxPitou: its serously that easy? i think i will try that! [03:28] i can see the previos partition i set... but how do i access it? [03:28] major_redhat: yeah man... you can get techincal details, service manuals.. :) I tracked down power supply and new cpu on ebay to fix her pc.. cost... 45$ [03:29] whats the best way to view current users on a system? [03:29] Death_: if you installed grub to the correct drive then you need to check your bios as hmw suggests [03:29] ok, checking bios, 1 sec [03:29] "udevd[442]: invalid rule 'etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules:1 DO I simply delete that file? [03:29] TxPitou: thats awesome. currently trying to get a new motherboard - this one has seen better days [03:29] quickard: You mean to edit user accounts? [03:30] Fezzler: humm I would nano that file and see if lien 1 has soemthing it should not have in it first [03:30] During installation for 9.10, I encurred an error (0x73/0x80). After asking initially, I was told that by using GRUB1 that it would fix the error. It did not. Are there any other options? [03:30] major_redhat: I hear you, hers was a intel-2 1ghz, I got her a intel-2 2.8ghz cpu (board handles it as per specs) [03:31] i've got a strange one, every now and then since I installed Karmic, my left mouse button stops working for a bit, then sometimes the screen saver will come on though I'm moving the mouse around and using the keyboard [03:31] my friend reported it to me first, then just now it happend to me for the first time [03:31]

kubot [03:32] Chaosmeika: 9.04 doesnt use grub2. Thats what I reverted back to. [03:32] once I typed in my password at the screensaver the left mouse button worked again === P is now known as Guest5553 [03:32] Chaosmeika: try text-based installer === Guest5553 is now known as Principito [03:32] ubuntu es [03:32] in symbolic links if you remove the original files it will not work [03:32] on the other hands the hard link it will still work [03:32] !es | Principito [03:32] Principito: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[03:33] What button is bios menu? [03:33] von_neumann: is there much disk activity when this happens? It may be system load, is it a fancy 3d screensaver? [03:33] TxPitou>> That is the only line in that file [03:34] F12? [03:34] Chaosmeika: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [03:34] Death_ depends on the BIOS. Usually F1, F2, F11 or F12 [03:34] antuo9us: no system load, it is doing it again now [03:34] Death_ or DEL [03:34] very odd [03:34] Death: what brand PC is it? [03:34] anyone use a network drive on their router? [03:34] Compaq [03:34] Fezzler: well you got me ... dunno [03:34] i tried killing metacity and sparking up sawfish, but that did not fix it [03:35] i wonder if the screensaver is grabbing the mouse focus and running in the background [03:35] Death: ususally F2 or F9 [03:35] racerd: Whats your real question?

[03:37] von_neumann: wired or wireless? [03:37] Ubuntu 9.10, Fresh install, won't boot. Goes to terminal and screen flashes. I tried settings vga=771 and took out 'splash' but same thing. Any ideas? [03:37] so who do i mount a network drive? === denny is now known as Guest58840 [03:37] von_neumann: ubuntu or kubuntu? if ubuntu, right click the top panel, choose "add to panel" and drag the "system monitor" to the panel. Go to Monitor's options, activate all other things (memory, disk, etc) and watch CPU, LOAD and stuff. perhaps this gives you a clue, whats going in [03:37] hey everyone [03:37] KB1JWQ: Ah ok I see. Umm you just need to install kde and then whatever meta package goes on top of that. [03:38] LinuxGuy2009: Thanks [03:38] wireless, but my firends is wired and had this problem before I [03:38] shite, how to I register a name === redghost is now known as greenghost [03:38] von.. kk [03:38] LinuxGuy2009: Will return if downgrade yields similar results. [03:38] Guest58840: /nick NAMEHERE [03:38] it is weird === Guest58840 is now known as dbone [03:38] thanks! [03:38] welcome [03:38] i have a terminal window above a google-chrome window [03:38] von_neumann: sounds very uncommon... what are the hardware specs? try the system monitor and see, if something spikes [03:39] OKAY, im in bios settings, i see 4 drives [03:39] 1 and 2 are blank? [03:39] I have a bit of a ridiculous issue if anyone could help or point me in the right direction? === greenghost is now known as redghost [03:39] when i click/drag in the chrome terminal it is passing the left mouseclick through to the chrome window underneath [03:39] Death_: thats ok [03:39] !ask | dbone [03:39] dbone: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:39] it is not a hardware issue [03:39] i'm pretty much positivie of that [03:39] dbone: Nobody knows if we can help cause you havent asked it yet. [03:39] what should i go to Hmw ? [03:39] Death_: browse through all settings and search for a "virus protection" or "MBR protection" or something alike === redghost is now known as greenghost [03:40] that is so strange though, the click goes "through" the gnome-terminal window and is affecting the browser window below it [03:40] lol, okay well I was trying to enable multitouch, and I managed to completely disable my trackpad, can anyone help my fix this? [03:40] if that isn't the WM going crazy then what? [03:40] dbone: using gnome ? [03:40] dbone: What did you change? === greenghost is now known as redghost [03:41] hmw: no, i dont see anything like that === TxPitou is now known as TXP-AWAY [03:41] LinuxGuy2009: Yeah, it's the name of that meta package that I don't get. :-) [03:41] now the mouse works fine in google-chrome only [03:41] Death_: your BIOS probably doesnt offer this option then. We could try to install GRUB again. Boot your Ubuntu Live CD. Tell me, when it is up. [03:41] unless I change virtual desktops, then the first "left click" is ignored but subsequent clicks work agian [03:42] im using xfce, and I changed a .fng file (having to do with hal) because I wanted to configure the touchpad through xorg.conf [03:42] gotta be gnome-panel [03:42] KB1JWQ: Yeah i just looked in synaptic and didnt see any obvious packages. Might not be any at all. Might just be certain default preferences are setup for you or something like that. Have you seen any screenshots of kubuntu netbook? [03:42] how do i choose sound card through terminal [03:42] q0_0p: alsa-mixer [03:42] von_neumann: perhaps a reboot might do something. did you already try to restart X? [03:42] von_neumann, if two sound cards are loaded at the same time will it conflict [03:42] hmw: I'm a 10+ year linux user, I'm not rebooting :-) [03:43] LinuxGuy2009: not yet. Hmm. [03:43] hmw: ok, it is up [03:43] q0_0p: you can specify the card on the command line [03:43] von_neumann, i notice if i modprobe -r sound works [03:43] von_neumann: sometimes restarting X does really help. especiall with gnome... *g* [03:44] hmw: CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE FTW [03:44] von_neumann, it wasn't a matter of choosing alsamixer -c #; but just remoe mod it [03:44] any ideas TxPitou or LinuxGuy2009? [03:44] Death_: alright... open a terminal and enter "sudo grub" ... then enter "find /boot/grub/stage1" and tell me the result [03:44] von_neumann: ALT+PRINT+K is it now [03:44] KB1JWQ: Im not sure if there is a kubuntu IRC but Im sure they would know what packages you would need to "convert". [03:44] hmw: unless you re-enable CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE that is :-) [03:44] LinuxGuy2009: Thanks, will harrass them. [03:44] von_neumann: :) i see [03:45] looks like it was gnome-panel [03:45] von_neumann: usually i dont liek restarting, either, but sometimes... you just have to [03:45] dbone: Meybe restore the backup copy of the file you edited. That would do it. [03:45] LinuxGuy2009: 19:45:35 #kubuntu: < netdaemon> KB1JWQ: not yet, there will be in 10.04 iirc [03:45] Okay then! [03:46] hmw: I had to restart earlier today... Tried to use gmplayer and it does not play well with pulseaudio apparently... I had to reboot to get sound back [03:46] KB1JWQ: Oh kubuntu netbook isnt here yet until 10.04? [03:46] but that was the first time since I installed karmic, 44 days of uptime... [03:46] anyway, for those keeping score, killing gnome-panel did the trick, thanks for all the help/suggestions [03:47] LinuxGuy2009: would love to if I had made a backup. (I had read somewhere that messing with those files was not a big deal... hah.) [03:47] von_neumann: i rarely get a week uptime with my ubuntu workstation... my LFS has a longer uptime... something about 180 days or so [03:47] dbone: Where did you read that? Most sites I have seen say to make a backup or know exactly what your doing cause your gonna F up your system. [03:48] Death_: you still alive? [03:49] Has Death died? [03:49] hello everyone. [03:49] t3chkommie, Hello [03:49] Hey [03:49] Yes HMW [03:49] LinuxGuy2009: yeah I know, and I always have a backup of xorg.conf, but this time I guess i was just being dumb. I'll find the site once i get my trackpad so i can navigate a little better [03:49] it is loading [03:49] is it possible to get some quick help with a software raid1 on a ubuntu 8.04 server? === redghost is now known as greenghost [03:50] dbone: Restore your system backup and try again. [03:50] Death_: that is slightly confusing me... loading grub cant take so long *g* i suppose, your live CD is not yet booted? or did yu already re-install GRUB? [03:51] LinuxGuy2009: lol, okay, i guess i'm such i noob i don't even know how to do that === greenghost is now known as redghost [03:51] Is there any way to recover a deleted file? [03:51] t3chkommie: possible? likely. Depends on your problem. Find out, if it is possible by asking the very question ;-) [03:51] dbone: Clonezilla ;) [03:51] ok ) [03:51] so, i have ubuntu server 8.04 already running a nice apache server [03:52] problem is, i want to make it reduntant on my secound dev. [03:52] i have searched hi and low for info on geting a raid set up on a already running sysytem, but nothing is working... and i really dont want to lose my info. [03:52] LinuxGuy2009: yeah, i just typed clonezilla into a terminal (:-?) [03:52] Second dev is new hdd? Or server? [03:53] Hi, I just noticed, that there are gthumb bugs in launchpad, nobody seems to care about, I cant find these bugs in gnomes bugzilla, is there a standard way to import bugs from launchpad to bugzilla? [03:53] dbone: clonezilla is a live CD distro [03:53] its a hdd [03:53] i moved everything over to dev 1 now i want ot mirror the two. [03:53] how can i edit in ubuntu's "Main Menu" ?? [03:53] I would guess boot live cd, use dd and mdadm [03:53] i installed mdamdm already [03:53] onaogh: right click the menu and select "edit menus" [03:54] onaogh: Right click the menu. Edit menu. [03:54] onaogh: right click on the main menu entry eg. "Applications" [03:54] i cannot remove "About Gnome" "About Ubuntu" and "Help and Support" from there [03:54] onaogh: right [03:54] hello [03:55] LinuxGuy2009, what ? [03:55] onaogh: Right you cant remove them. [03:55] I want to remove them [03:55] onaogh: Tough [03:55] rafa_ dont "hello" in a room with 1348 users *smirks* need something? just ask straigt away. Try to write everythingin one line [03:55] onaogh: There not removeable. [03:55] hmw: sudo: grub: command not found [03:56] LinuxGuy2009: so the file I deleted was in /etc/x11/xsession.d/ [03:56] <- needs help with setting up raid1 (software) on a server that already has one set up hdd. [03:56] Death_: uhm... stand by... that came very surprising [03:56] i have re aranged my panel and got a menu like start menu of windows, in ubuntu its name is Main menu [03:56] LinuxGuy2009: it had to do with synaptics touchpad. I just looked in the trash for it, wasnt there. [03:56] alright hmw [03:56] LinuxGuy2009, i removed About Gnome and others except Help and Support [03:56] LinuxGuy2009: I think i'm screwed [03:57] my monitor, when i put to set auto off in x times inactived, stay blinking, don't stop. Its may cause a problem to it? [03:57] Death_: try "locate grub" - any results? [03:57] onaogh: You can remove the gnome menu bar. That you can do [03:57] Sorry, my english is very bad. [03:57] I'd have to look at mdadm's man page. But if you can create a raid 1 vol without init the hdd. Then just use the new hdd as a simple backup first with dd. Then try and add one drive to md1 [03:58] rafa_: you want to know, if it harms your monitor, when you DISable the screen saver? [03:58] duncan: i dont understand what that means. [03:58] :( [03:58] Srry typing with one thumb on iPhone lol [03:58] nou, i not disabled the screensaver.

Thats it. [03:59] hmm [03:59] wait, please [04:00] rafa_: no problem [04:00] Yea. A backup. [04:00] h, [04:00] hey..what is frigg [04:00] hmw: i got many results for that search... anything specific [04:00] tigrang: try vesa [04:00] ?

[04:00] Before he tries mdadm he should have bit for bit backup [04:00] Death_: i am looking for the "grub" program... anything that ENDs with ...../grub [04:00] look in /boot [04:00] when it been turn off and on in a minimal time [04:01] I have no boots [04:01] I am homeless [04:01] when i've press on/off button fast.

Please try to explain how it blinks, what blinks [04:01] Death_: what is the path? [04:01] I have no feet [04:01] dd backups are very wasteful and only really needed for forensic backups. Clonezilla is good for a backup solution and only copies used blocks. [04:01] the screen [04:02] i just want an active 1:1 mirror [04:02] raid 1 setup without having to reimage.

[04:13] ok, ill give it another go. i just dont want o accidently format the WRONG drive. :( [04:13] i downloaded it and copied over the iso hmw [04:13] Death_: whcih version? Ubuntu Desktop i386 9.10 ? [04:14] yes [04:14] No formatting necessary. [04:14] doh, killall gnome-panel did not fix it this time [04:14] Just [04:14] Make a backup first [04:14] Death_: installing again wont do much probably... let me check my disk and see, whats up with grub first [04:14] alright [04:14] ok ill give it a shot. thanks for the help [04:15] Gooduck [04:15] Luck [04:15] also how do I diable the damn "command not found" suggestions? it's neat, but I'd like to call it manually if I'm searching for something [04:15] ok hmw, ill be here [04:15] can anyone suggest me the 3gp player for ubuntu [04:16] Aight, I'm going to try this again. Can someone help me troubleshoot my synaptics touchpad which no longer works. I deleted the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi before the issue started. However, when I check the directory that file is there and the content is the exact same as it was before the delete. Any ideas? [04:16] VLC [04:16] mihir: mplayer [04:16] i think it is flash [04:16] Death_: ok [04:16] dbone: no clue [04:16] yup, follows the browser [04:16] whatever desktop the browser is on is hosed [04:16] awesome [04:17] swtz: ha, too bad :-/ [04:18] Death_: do you have more than one HD in your PC? [04:18] Dbone: just guess, use dpk-reconfigure on any synaptics packages? Or is this compiled driver? [04:19] no, just 1 hmw === bump is now known as Guest17710 [04:19] any other than mplayer [04:19] Err dpkg-reconfigure [04:19] Death_: good. [04:19] mihir: vlc [04:19] Duncan-NC: no this was the one that came with the distro, how do I use dpk-reconfigure? [04:19] Should there be a partition mounted on /dev/sda hmw? [04:19] vlc does not support 3gp audio [04:20] mihir: install all the codecs [04:20] Use dpkg -l |grep synap [04:20] Shows all packages that are installed with synap in the name. [04:20] how to install all codecs in vlc [04:20] Death_: not with the live cd [04:20] use synaptic [04:21] Death_, /dev/sda -- that's a hard drive, /dev/sda1 would be a partition if you have a partition [04:21] Duncan-NC: okay, i have gsynaptics, synaptic, and xserver-sorg-input-synaptics [04:21] If u have a synaptics package installed. Use command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure " to redo it's config [04:22] hmw: i have the live cd, but after booting the cd, i attempted to install to harddrive, it was an option [04:22] Try it on all three [04:22] Death_: now i want you to boot the live cd with "try ubuntu without changing the copmputer" [04:22] If that doesn't work use sudo aptitude reinstall [04:23] ok, trying now hmw [04:23] Death_ hmw what's the issue? He's not getting a grub menu after installing? [04:23] unregistered: not sure if ther is a way to configure it. you can uninstall it with apt-get remove command-not-found [04:23] WinterSky: right. Windows keeps booting. The live cd does apparently not have the "grub" program, I am familiar with. Canb you help him? [04:23] duncan [04:23] Yea [04:24] WinterSky: he checked BIOS for "virus protection" already, no such option [04:24] how to play 3gp file in ubuntu [04:24] where the heck is the grub console on the live cd?? [04:24] * Duncan-NC shrugs [04:24] hmw That's weird. All I can think of is trying another live cd or different version. [04:24] Duncan-NC: awesome, thanks for the help, I'll let you know how it goes [04:24] hmw: ok, i have clicked to try ubuntu w/out changes.... [04:24] duncan: should i DD the /dev/sdb? [04:24] hmw on the live cd use sudo apt-get install grub [04:24] Np gl [04:24] first? [04:24] loading [04:25] Death_: when your pc has booted, enter sudo apt-get install grub [04:25] Ur data is on dev sda right? Empty (new) drive is sdb? [04:25] hmw then he can use find grub etc... [04:25] duncan :thats correct [04:25] WinterSky: that was the plan :) [04:25] hmw, so Death_ installed ubuntu on his machine, he boots up, sees the grub menu, he attempts to boot up to to ubuntu and it doesnt boot up? [04:26] tucemiux__: no grub menu at all [04:26] can anyone help me how to play 3gp file in ubuntu [04:26] hmw, he probably didnt install it then [04:26] hmw during my install I had a drive that gets seen first but it wasn't where I installed Ubuntu. So at the end of the install I had to change where the bootloader gets installed. [04:27] hmw at the end of the Gtraphical Install. [04:27] WinterSky: tucemiux__: i think, Death_ isntalled all default [04:27] WinterSky: tucemiux__: i think, Death_ has only one hard drive [04:27] Death_ Do you have more than 1 Hard Drive? [04:27] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and just replaced my ATI video card with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 and now my windows are huge. It worked fine at FreeGeek could it be my monitor? My screen resolution is 640x480 and I tried chaning my monitor to 6500k (choices are 65, 75 and 8500k)but no change. I can't properly click on anything in preferences. Is an answer in Xorg? (I'm hesitant to screw with it on my own.) OR I changed to Hardy because ATI wasn [04:27] 't well supported in the new Ubuntu version - should I try to upgrade? [04:27] just 1 [04:27] Duncan-NC: okay, I reinstalled all three. the trackpad still isn't working, but I'm assuming I should reboot right? [04:27] Boot to a livecd so that ur not booted to sda, and mount sda on live cd to make sure it's ur data. (u don't want to copy blank drive to data drives that sucks) then use "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" [04:28] Death_, you can boot up to windows, right? do you mind reinstalling? [04:28] Makes full backup of partitions (and empty space meh) to sdb [04:28] sure, ill reinstall, should i boot windows now? [04:28] duncan : is it possible to not have to use the live cd? im running a headless server and i can only ssh into it :( [04:28] Death_, no, just send me an instant message and I'll walk you trhough installing ubuntu again [04:29] okay, I'm gonna reboot and hope this worked! lata [04:29] ok [04:29] Then u mount dev/sdb on livecd to make sure data was copied right. [04:29] Death_: tucemiux__ we should try installing GRUB first 100 times faster, if it works [04:29] jpitts: thanks. [04:29] Death_ Make sure to back up your important files! :) [04:29] how to play 3gp file in ubuntu [04:29] hmw, so you want to walk him through installing GRUB then? [04:29] nothing importain, its a new computer... [04:29] duncan : is it possible to not have to use the live cd? im running a headless server and i can only ssh into it :( [04:29] tucemiux__: i was about to [04:29] mihir If you install Vlc you should be able to play them. [04:29] Hi, everytime I try to mount my vboxsf filesystem it says I don't have permission to view the contents... anyone know how to fix this? [04:30] using fstab ^^^^^^^^^^^ [04:30] mihir if now I can guide you on installing the proper codecs. [04:30] tucemiux__: but, i would like to get off the chat... if you dont mind, do the reinstall with him, ok? [04:30] hmw, can you please show Death_ how to reinstall GRUB first, he can reinstall again if fixing GRUB doesntt work [04:30] tucemiux__: OK i'll do [04:30] hmw, ive never done GRUB reinstall [04:30] Death_: did your live CD already boot? [04:31] no, still booting [04:31] Then u can create md array (raid1) with just one drive in it. [04:31] ubuntu logo just went away [04:31] now i have a cursor [04:31] tucemiux__: it's easy - sudo grub ... find /boot/grub/stage1 ... look at output ... root (hd0,x) ... setup (hd0) ... quit .... reboot [04:31] Death_: ok... let it boot then tell me [04:31] Then get Linux to boot to md0 and add second drive to array. [04:31] vlc does not support audio in 3gp file [04:31] hm, dding a 250gb hdd with 100gb of info.... LONG TIME..... [04:32] ok hmw === Austin is now known as rasputins_cake === denny is now known as dbone [04:32] OK Ubuntu guys, I need some advice. [04:32] Yea but u need a backup [04:32] duncan: ah, i think i get it. md0 is like ZFS pools? [04:32] Which DE is better for a complete noob like my mother; GNOME or KDE? [04:32] mihir: why you don't use mplayer? [04:33] Haven't used zfs dunno [04:33] md0 points to both sda and sdb which have been direct copy from using DD [04:33] or smplyer front-end [04:33] right? [04:33] Duncan: You fixed it. absolutely phenomenal. I had been searching online for hours. THANK THANK THANK YOU! [04:33] what to write in synaptic package manager to install mplayer [04:33] Is anyone here using 2.6.32 ? [04:33] rasputins_cake It's all a matter of choice. You can however install both and try each. I prefer Gnome but that's just me. [04:33] mihir: sudo apt-get install mplayer [04:34] I'm aware [04:34] забавно... [04:34] I'm just wondering which would be more noob friendly [04:34] утро доброе [04:34] Hi folks, I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and just replaced my ATI video card with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 and now my windows are huge.

But is fir saftey and ur data. [04:34] All right [04:35] rasputins_cake, the simpler -- the better, default gnome would do [04:35] Death_: excellent... first install the grub thing: sudo apt-get install grub [04:35] duncan: thanks for clarifying. and dd while the drive is booted is ok right? [04:35] Don't add second disk to raid 1 until u verify os boots to md0 instead of sda [04:35] ok [04:36] hmw: installing! [04:36] woot! [04:36] Good luck. [04:36] thanks again.

[05:17] i doesn t work that way [05:17] is there a way I can get it supported [05:17] spec, have you ran updates since you installed ubuntu/ [05:17] ? [05:18] no I can't get on the internet [05:19] i would try really hard to get that eth connected somehow or another. youll have to dwnld like 200+ updates. and i wouldnt be supprized if that fixes youre wifi problem. [05:19] the problem is... you need to get on the net first. [05:19] let me do some qick searching. [05:19] is there a way I could download the updates on windows then put them on a flash key and install them in ubuntu [05:20] anybody know how to get a tv tuner card working? dmesg sees it, but i can't run tvtime [05:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel%20WiFi%20Link%205100 [05:20] not all of them, but i think you could atleast get the wifi one. [05:20] you need the modules [05:21] how [05:21] you have to find if your tv card is compatible with your linux distro [05:22] How do I get the drivers/ [05:22] http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17045&ProdId=3062&lang=eng [05:22] that should be where you need to go to get the drivers. [05:22] how big is the file would you know? [05:22] well.. the wifi drive i mean. [05:22] not sure letmme check. [05:22] you can search online [05:22] root__ i think it is, but there's a manual card number and tuner number you have to enter to get it right, I think [05:23] and find out the chipset of your TV card [05:23] http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads [05:24] yeah, it's a saa7134 [05:24] spec, go there [05:24] its 183 kb [05:24] spectergris, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300560 This link is to a form where I think they have the same card as you [05:24] can [05:24] can I put this on a flash key and installit in ubuntu? [05:24] ya [05:24] whats the name of the pcakage containing the linux source? [05:24] I try to rmmod saa7134_alsa and it says it's already in use [05:24] its tared tho. [05:25] how do I do it [05:25] oh, [05:25] is this your first install spec? [05:25] yeah [05:25] ah, [05:25] personally, i would just find a way to plug in the internet, and do an update. [05:25] the website said that the dirver is included in the newer kernals. [05:26] i bet you have an old iso image and the driver hasnt been included yet. [05:26] It's supposedly the koala [05:26] thats going to be the easiest and fastes [05:26] what is it i dont know [05:26] I did wibu [05:26] or wubi [05:26] im nost sure what wubi stands for? [05:27] it's how you install it with out a boot disk [05:27] whats the name of the pcakage containing the linux source? I need it for vmware [05:27] ok, from a flash drive then? [05:27] root__ how to you get the modules set up? [05:27] anyone? [05:27] no just from the internet [05:28] oh. thats new to me, i havnt tried it that way. i usually just run it off a jump drive. [05:28] but can I donload these drivers and install them from a flash drive [05:28] ya [05:28] but its not as easy as you think. [05:28] untar the file you download, then read the "readme" file. [05:29] untar/ [05:29] *? [05:29] Vmware work like virtual box just download the latest one on www.kernel.org [05:29] untar -> kinda like unzip. [05:29] ah do you need an app or is that already in linux [05:29] its already in linux. [05:30] and how do you do it [05:30] the hard part is installing it when you unzip it. [05:30] how do I unzip and install [05:31] spectergris, you can copy the file to your desktop and right click and uncompress [05:31] okay how do I install it [05:31] spectergris maybe... in windows look in device manager, look under network adapters.... confirm what your wifi hardware is..... [05:31] spectergris, you have to read the readme file [05:32] i just read the readme file..... [05:32] it dosnt look all the friendly. === DroolingS is now known as Drooling_Sheep [05:32] root_: Is it possible to install the latest 2.6.33 linux kernel on karmic ubuntu? [05:32] okay i have to reboot to get into ubuntu brb [05:32] good luck [05:33] earth, youre right. i would be so much easier just to update the kernal . [05:33] spectergris, you really should try and plug in with wire first and do a update [05:34] <--- still DD ing his hdd to hdd2... holycrap this takes forever! [05:34] t3chkommie, yeah he's new so I think he's just gonna get fustrated [05:34] lol [05:34] i know. ive been there.... 9.04 and a asus 1005ha netbook :S [05:35] t3chkommie, yup me too with the asus ferrari 2500 [05:35] oh man i hated doing updates... broke it everytime. :( [05:35] root_: Is it possible to install the latest 2.6.33 linux kernel on karmic ubuntu? [05:35] but 9.10 seemed to fix that problem. [05:36] t3chkommie, I was just reading some forms about his card and it doesn't look good actully [05:36] if he really has the intell 5100 [05:36] that i know [05:36] i read a website that said it was supported with the new kernal. [05:36] strange tho, you would think something not that new would already be supported. [05:37] t3chkommie, yeah, if he does most people have it work out of the box but the people who had problems didn't seem to have solved it [05:37] Can someone help Death_ They have windows XP installed with a broken Ubuntu 9.10 installation and need to reinstall it. And they need to get Grub2 working. [05:37] yuck. [05:37] where can I get (url) for the alpha for 10.4? [05:38] winter; in my experience... when grub goes missing... you gotta reimage. [05:38] Those notification popups when you change volume, plug ethernet in etc, is that libnotify? === LLStarks is now known as Eric_Massa [05:39] t3chkommie, I haven't had that much trouble with wireless lately, except for a asus travilemate that broke after an update a few weeks ago === denny is now known as dbone [05:40] earthen, bummer... my netbook was overheating and asus told me i had to change out the ram and reinstall windows... i said screw that, so i broke it open.... and cant seem to fix the heating problem... need to think up a new way to manage the heat in the case, it only lasts about 5 min... sad for a little atom... i didnt think they would be that fussy with heat. === DcMeese_ is now known as DcMeese [05:40] i need some help [05:40] shoot brandon [05:40] any linux guru wanna help me out real quick?

[05:43] hi [05:43] i am having problem with internet connection [05:44] in ubuntu [05:44] any body can help me oue [05:44] brandon, you should be able to install sensors-lm or something like that from package manager. [05:44] this should help you get an idea of cpu tup. [05:44] temp*... but it could be something else. does it crash when you open something? === bdfoster_iPhone is now known as bdfoster [05:44] ok, ill do that and get back to you [05:44] t3chkommie, brandon420: lm-sensors is the package you're looking for [05:44] vishal: could you be a bit more specific? what version are you running? 32 or 64 bit archetecture? wired, or wireless? [05:45] its x sensors [05:45] aha thanks brjann [05:45] he has to install sensors-applet [05:45] i cant tell any trend [05:45] dbone: try this out: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~jnjackin/docs/two_finger_scrolling-linux.html [05:45] <--- thinks in CLI... been trying to fix my server for a week ... sorrry :S [05:45] earthen: he doesn't have to, lm-sensors has command line utilities [05:45] version is 9.10 ubuntu [05:45] brjann, cool i didn't know that [05:46] can anyone pleas help me install the linux kernel source on my ubuntu system?

[05:46] swtz: thanks, I actually have that page open, and was able to do everything except "gnome-mouse-properties." I think this is because I'm using xfce and not gnome. I run gsynaptics, but that does not have any twofingerscroll option [05:46] earthen: granted, without additional configuration, it usually only displays CPU temperature, but I think that's what he's after :) [05:47] vishal: ahh someone else will need to help you. I am NOT familiar with dailup. sorry. [05:47] Ok my dad is using ubunt and his wireless card is not working its a BCM4311 [05:47] I connected the wired connection and its not even recognizing that [05:47] brjann, yup your right [05:47] i need to source files and the headers to make vmware server run on ubuntu [05:47] k tell me if anybody else can help me [05:47] sacpitz-virtual-0 [05:47] Adapter: Virtual device [05:47] temp1: +41.0°C (crit = +90.0°C) [05:47] k8temp-pci-00c3 [05:47] Adapter: PCI adapter [05:47] Core0 Temp: +33.0°C [05:47] brandon420: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:50] it can run it [05:50] lets hear specs ; [05:50] 1.6 ghz 1 gb ram [05:50] ;) [05:50] brandon420: run uname -a for us [05:50] never mind... i am tired [05:50] oh thats not bad for ubuntu. [05:50] its like a netbook. [05:51] sudo uname-a? [05:51] with a space -a [05:51] brandon420: no need for sudo [05:51] Linux brandon420-desktop 2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 09:05:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [05:51] I have a problem with my Alienware in 64 bit where i freezes after about 3 min no matter what driver i tried. 32 bit runs fine [05:51] yup i686 [05:51] any body can help me with dialup connection [05:52] yeah, get dsl [05:52] ho can i start internet connection [05:52] sorry i had to say it [05:52] could I technically fileshare the connection from windows [05:52] sorry vishal, it dont even remember what dial was :( [05:52] dbone: you can actually set that up by editing the 11-x11-synaptics.fdi file [05:52] brandon420: please don't contribute unhelpful comments like that [05:52] dbone: did you try that out? [05:52] spec, is it the same computer? [05:52] t3chkommie: was it this (i dont know how to post a link in irc yet) http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html [05:52] yes [05:53] you can just mount the hdd [05:53] swtz: check out the link i posted to t3chkommie, something like that? [05:53] and access your files [05:53] how do I mount the hdd [05:53] vishal, try here http://www.debianadmin.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html [05:53] dbone, not exactly, but the code looks about right. [05:53] give it a shot. [05:53] Im new at this [05:54] Alright, I'll psot back with the results [05:54] spec, ubuntu usually mounts all the avaialbe partitions automatically. [05:54] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/65160-how-do-i-mount-ntfs-hard-drive-ubuntu.html [05:54] oh. true [05:54] forgot about ntfp :p [05:54] thanks brandon. [05:54] lol, welcome, i had to google that yesterday [05:54] okay do I have download any special software to fileshare from windows [05:54] no [05:54] spec, youre gonna need internet to install NTFS support. [05:55] are there any good flash editing programs in linux? [05:55] dbone: yup, that's correct. Did you try that out? [05:55] t3chkommie: ntfs-3g is pulled in by ubuntu-standard, it should be there already [05:55] so anyone got ideas how why i keep crashing? [05:55] really? [05:55] I can't get on the internet in ubuntu Idk if it has something to do with the fact I installed with wubi [05:56] spectergris: what is happening, just curios not sure if I know how to fix it or not. [05:56] brandon420: you really haven't given us much to go on. what sort of crashes? kernel panics? xorg crash to console? [05:56] I can't get my wireless to work [05:56] spectergris, try looking in the places menu up at the top...ntfs drives show up there for me [05:57] swtz: yeah, i actually already had that file there with all of those settings. [05:57] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5DVDz4Ri [05:57] did you try the usual sudo ifconfig adapter up [05:57] works for me when I have problems [05:57] the terminal says command not recognised [05:57] dbone, i remember there was something else i had to enable first..... [05:57] dbone: the default file has all those settings, but those are COMMENTED by default. [05:58] brandon420: that pastebin has 7500 lines in it :) where should I be looking? [05:58] spectergris run as sudo [05:58] you tell me [05:58] lmao, i have no idea where to start googling [05:58] is there a way i can find out what in conky is currently using 21% of my memory (2GB) ? - it took it's time to get up to that much memory use, restarting it to troubleshoot would probably take a while to get back up to this much usage [05:58] so I type "sudo ipconfig adapter up"? [05:58] yes [05:58] try that [05:58] Okay brb have to reboot [05:58] dbone: you need to remove the "" between then or move the lines you want outside the comment area [05:59] brandon420: i'm not asking you to solve the problem by yourself, just help me narrow down where to look in this log you've posted. do you have an approximate time when the computer crashed, so I can go by timestamps? [05:59] dbone: apologize if you done that already [05:59] then chech iwconfig and let me know what you have there [05:59] spectergris, what wireless card does ubuntu say you have. do a lspci in the terminal and see what it finds. look for a line that has wirelles in it [05:59] sibble you can look at what processes are running in System -> Administration -> System Monitor [05:59] that works too lspci or if you have a usb lsusb [05:59] oh 00:32 ish [06:00] No brjann can you tell me exactly what I need to do [06:00] there are multiple crashes in that log somewhere [06:00] anyone know about how long a DD of 60 gb hdd would take? [06:00] eathern and hexdup I'll brb with that info [06:00] Drooling_Sheep: just says conky [06:00] I have just successfully created an apt iPhone repository with ubuntu 9.10!! [06:00] send it to output and dcc it to me if you want [06:01] sibble, you can do View -> all processes to see everything [06:01] then sort my memory usage [06:01] Scarra3: you can follow the instructions here for karmic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43/STA%20hybrib%20drivers [06:01] check ps -A and also see if NetworkManager is running === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [06:02] is any one interested in Linux administration job === aybabtu is now known as Guest24245 [06:02] conky - CPU: 2% - Memory: 422.7MiB [06:02] that seems about right [06:02] brandon420: okay, it looks like it booted up at around 00:28 and crashed about four minutes later? does that sound right?

Thanks! [06:04] hi [06:04] brandon420: can you describe the crash for me in detail? [06:04] brandon420, did you try to disable your video card or even something simple as turning off all the visual Effects? [06:04] sibble, that sounds like a lot for a "lightweight system monitor" [06:05] well [06:05] brandon420, video card drivers i mean [06:05] Drooling_Sheep: i think it's slowly leaking memory [06:05] that's what it looks like to me [06:05] Guest983: hi how are ya [06:05] 1 day uptime - 432MiB memory [06:05] scary to think what 2-3 days will look like hehe [06:05] you can try killing it [06:06] Guest983: everybody is probably busy working on something. [06:06] yea i guess i could run a cron job to restart it every 24 hours or somethign [06:06] Guest983: we are already into linux system administration [06:06] sorry, did you say anything? i crashed again [06:07] brandon420: yeah, I asked if you could describe the details of how it crashes for me :) [06:07] <---- needs some help with a software RAID1 [06:07] hello,.. [06:07] brandon420, did you try to disable your video card driver or even something simple as turning off all the visual Effects? [06:07] what? [06:07] ok, one min its fine, then its just freezes, and i get some weird blank screen with lines [06:08] sibble, maybe file a bug report? [06:08] and i have tried all the drivers, and while i did that, i had all the settings on low [06:08] i wonder if youre res is messed up? [06:08] brandon420: lines like graphical lines? like the video card freaking out? [06:08] that's all you can really do I think [06:08] kinda [06:08] have you looked at X logs? [06:08] x logs? [06:09] Hi [06:09] /var/log/Xorg.0 [06:09] grrrrr raids...... [06:09] sorry for the dumb questions by the way, im still attemping to learn [06:09] Drooling_Sheep: should i? i mean, how do I know it's just not some script im using with conky [06:09] does anyone know how to get voice chat to work on ubuntu? [06:10] oliver, like google talk? [06:10] swtz: tried commenting it out, i guess i should restart it [06:10] brandon420: its not dumb [06:10] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6NrLCihY [06:10] I did that and it suggested gycite or something like it and I can not find it anywhere. [06:10] brandon420: there's not much to go by in your syslogs. do me a favor, the next time your computer crashes and appears to freeze, tap the num lock or caps lock key a few times, and see if the LED indicator lights up on your keyboard when you do [06:10] brandon420: you switch over to console and check out whats in the log [06:11] oliver, im not sure about what works with that, i use skype. havnt had anyluck with google talk. [06:11] and by console you mean crtl f1? [06:11] sibble, I guess you don't...I don't know too much about conky specifically but I would think it doesn't let scripts do their own memory management [06:11] does skype work on yahoo? [06:11] and i will try that next time it crashes, it should only take a coupla mins [06:11] alright, I'm going to do a restart and see what happens. bbl [06:11] Drooling_Sheep: yea thats true [06:12] oliver, i dont think so. [06:12] Ok thank you [06:12] brandon420: okay, thanks. [06:12] brandon420: when does this happen? the freezing? is it once you have done a particular thing? what point does this happen? [06:12] http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn192/badsector76/IMAGE_145.jpg thats the closes thing that i could find to what it looks like [06:12] there isnt a trend [06:13] most of those lines are II and not EE [06:13] i was thinking i might have had too much running, but with only pidgin running it still crashes [06:13] brandon420: when does it happen? [06:13] brandon, id put my next paycheck on the fact that your resolution is farting up. can you bring it down to something stupidly low? [06:13] I tried to down load some drivers for my printer on a disk intended for windows. Only I didn't need them after all. Now when I try to empty it from my trash it says I do not have permission. [06:13] Drooling_Sheep: i guess i should have left it running if im going to file a bug report huh hehe [06:13] i do have compiz maxed out, and a dock, but it was crashing before i installed it [06:14] I tried some of the things suggested on the support sites but nothing has worked so far. [06:14] brandon420: have you checked for fs errors? [06:14] brandon420: file system errors [06:14] @t3chkommie: i have tried putting it on 1024x768 and it stukk dud ut [06:14] t3chkommie: it would be fairly unusual for a resolution problem to panic the system, if it is a hard freeze like he's saying [06:14] fs errirs? === denny is now known as dbone [06:14] brandon420: none of those lines in your xorg indicate an issue === Dougdoug4__ is now known as Dougdoug4 [06:14] Drooling_Sheep: never filed a bug report before, what would be the best way to do that next time i see conky using half a gig of memory? ubuntu-bug ? [06:14] = / [06:14] still no luck getting multi-touch to work :-/ [06:14] brandon420: you are able to log in ans start pidgin correct? [06:15] idk what you guys did to make celestia run so well for ubuntu, but to whome ever responsible, you are a freakin genious, ive had that prog sinc 600mhz was an amazingly blistering speed for a puter, im soo impressed [06:15] brandon420: and log in? but at some point in your session this happends? [06:15] yeah [06:15] dbone, there was something i had to enable first, i think it was calls SMHconfig [06:15] the computer runs great, it just randomly crashes [06:15] brandon420: check messages and dmesg output for errors.. [06:15] brandon420: how old is the computer? specifically, how old are the memory modules in it? [06:15] brandon420: yes im thinking hardware or something of the likes [06:16] the computer is pretty new, its just a crappy walmart comp my mom bought [06:16] and it doesnt crash with windows =/ [06:16] brandon420: have you checked the message log? [06:16] SolarisBoy: already have done, he posted his syslog earlier and I've already combed through it. not much besides an unstable clock source [06:16] how big is the screen? [06:16] its like a 17 inch [06:16] brjann: brandon420 i think you should check the File System [06:17] sibble, I'd probably file it with the people who handle conky, ubuntu probably just pulls it downstream from debian without changing it much. Are you using the latest version (1.7.2)? [06:17] SolarisBoy: (the clocksource was the other thing I was thinking to try, e.g. boot with clocksource=hpet and see how it does) [06:17] t3chkommie: there's and SHMConfig, i'm going to try to enable it through xorg.conf in the inputdevice section [06:17] brjann: true [06:17] brjann: have you only checked the syslog? [06:17] Drooling_Sheep: yes 1.7.2 from repos [06:18] dbone, shmconfig [06:18] brjann: syslog may be sending most stuff to messages or debug even? [06:18] num lock nor caps lock worked. [06:18] mu desktop icons disapeared how can i get them back [06:19] SolarisBoy: i thought it was the other way around -- on ubuntu I thought messages was the miscellaneous stuff that didn't match important things [06:19] SolarisBoy: but it's possible [06:19] 17 inch screen and 1280x1024 res [06:19] brjann: i would imagine that depends on whats in syslog.conf [06:19] SolarisBoy: well yes. [06:19] t3chkommie: tried just putting shmconfig into a console, ha no luck. any idea how to enable? [06:19] ya hold on [06:19] Hello I believe I have upgraded my PostGreSQL 8.3 to 8.4.....incorrectly. Is there someone who can via private message walk me through upgrading this correctly and cleaning up the 8.3 left over.

[06:20] sibble, okay, because I saw they fixed a bunch of memory leaks a while back, but it doesn't look like anything has changed since august [06:20] SolarisBoy: so what are you thinking? fsck, clocksource=hpet, memtest? [06:20] Does anyone know how to delete files from your trash bin when it says you do not have permission? [06:20] brjann: indeed [06:21] [ 82.500032] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -65301587 ns)+ [06:21] brjann: i think a quick fsck may prove helpful [06:21] dr3mro: ogg [06:21] brjann: hmm [06:21] Drooling_Sheep: yea i saw those, i think the bug was filed in ubuntu 7.10 [06:21] oliver, you gota be a su [06:21] SolarisBoy: yeah, worth a shot. [06:21] let me look at the code. [06:21] dr3mro: wht's the current video format that u have? [06:21] su? [06:21] Hello I believe I have upgraded my PostGreSQL 8.3 to 8.4.....incorrectly. Is there someone who can via private message walk me through upgrading this correctly and cleaning up the 8.3 left over. [06:21] brandon420: that's *sometimes* normal. my machine does it too. but it can cause freezes sometimes, too, or so I've read [06:21] Drooling_Sheep: in that bug report, he said conky was using a gig in a couple of hours, that's a little more then i experienced [06:21] brjann: i think memtest or something similar is good idea as well [06:22] yea thats why im not sure about that one line, does it even correlate to a time of a crash brandon420 ? [06:22] What is a su? [06:22] aruntomar, xvid and rmvb and mp4 [06:22] Drooling_Sheep: i am using 64bit too though [06:22] i've seen that before on other distros as well [06:22] it happens wayy to offten to be normal, i have had ubuntu many times, and havent had this problem [06:22] oliver, put this in your terminal sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* [06:22] aruntomar, ogg is for audio [06:22] sibble, if you restart it and it's using a small amount of memory that slowly (or quickly) grows that sounds like a memory leak to me [06:23] Ok thankyou I will try that. [06:23] brandon420: that message is repeating? or was it just a odd insert? [06:23] SolarisBoy: i noticed the clocksource unstable line occurred more than once a few lines before klogd initialized at boot time [06:23] Drooling_Sheep: yea sounds like it to me as well [06:23] brjann: yep [06:23] let me check, i just saw that [06:23] .....any1 here know about PostGreSQL stuff? [06:23] Drooling_Sheep: im used to memory leaks, thats why i switched to ubuntu from vista ;) [06:24] can you repost the syslog? [06:24] sibble, ubuntu also has some memory leaks but not much and usually because you use some svn ppa [06:24] SolarisBoy: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5DVDz4Ri [06:24] sibble, haha nice [06:24] aruntomar, ?? [06:24] got it. Okay, I'm going to reboot and see if I have any luck. [06:24] please what is the best video format in ubuntu to save disk space ????????

[07:06] its a fresh install, with all the updates [07:06] SolarisBoy: I'm slightly terrified by the nvidia-settings segfault that happened inside the ld shared object [07:06] TheBuzzer, do u have experience in compiling softwares [07:06] brjann: EXACTLY =< [07:06] and its running the recommened driver [07:06] im thinking more so your SYSTEM may be the issue,, like what version ubuntu is this? is it a stable?

[07:14] this shouldn't be done like that unless you _KNOW_ what you are doing,, i've seen systems be bricked like that [07:14] LinuxGuy2009: Guess I wasn't terribly clear. I want to recover the drive. [07:14] SolarisBoy, ok but i think we can pass the path to ./configure no?? [07:14] solarisboy: tell me [07:14] lawrence, are you using mupen64plus ? [07:14] SolarisBoy, i mean to take the new path [07:14] claptrap: What was the file system? [07:15] SolarisBoy, who are you talking to ? (looks like you're just talking to anybody) [07:15] yes [07:15] SolarisBoy, of glib installation [07:15] LinuxGuy2009: Originally NTFS, formatted it to ext3 [07:15] airtonix: i saw the first comment [07:15] SolarisBoy, i mean because i'm not doing anything at the moment thats going to brick my system [07:15] lawrence, what speed is your cpu? [07:15] airtonix: ok [07:15] Hey .. I want to install the driver of my " Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter " .. so I google for it .. so i end up with this wiki " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29 " .. but i stuck in here .. " You should see the file rt73.ko " ... it never installed .. the output of the installation command ... " http://pastebin.com/jePKZFh1 " .. please help .. [07:15] claptrap: ext3 doesnt allow for file recovery I dont believe. [07:15] i recently resized my windows 7 partition using grub, but now windows 7 doesn't want to boot it (duh). I've run the "repair windows" deal and it didn't fix it, as well as check disk. My windows drive is perfectly in tact, it's just that 7 isn't looking in the right place to boot from. Clearly, win 7 doesn't use Grub as its boot loader... i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how i can fix this [07:16] shall complete the installation [07:16] how can i find out [07:16] LinuxGuy2009: So if I formatted the NTFS to ext3, it's all gone for good now? [07:16] brandon420: not sure but its certainly related to those constant segfaults.. [07:16] lawrence, cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:16] LinuxGuy2009: Because gpart can /find/ the NTFS partition I'm trying to recover, but it wants another 500 GB drive to attempt recovery. === kamanashisroy is now known as _saya [07:17] claptrap: Well then that answers your question. [07:18] LinuxGuy2009: Actually, no, it doesn't. My question is whether or not there is ANOTHER way to recover that drive, or even individual files, as I simply have no way of getting my hands on a second 500GB hard drive right now. [07:18] how can i add the win7 printer share to print in ubuntu 910? [07:18] 2.66 Ghertz [07:18] claptrap: if you formatted it, but didn't otherwise write on it, many of the files may be recoverable. You can try e2retrieve if it's ext3. I recovered a surprising amount of data from a disk that would no longer mount using EASUS on windows. You have to pay for it, but you can at least run the free demo first to see if it finds anything... [07:18] how can i configure wine to read a usb device [07:18] claptrap: Well yeah it does answer the question. You just said that you need another 500gb drive to recover it. There ya go. [07:18] lawrence, what gfx card? "lspci | grep VGA" if you don't know [07:19] meowbuntu, use the winecfg app and click autodetect on the drives tab [07:19] SolarisBoy, any help,,, [07:19] claptrap: You not being able to afford to buy one is beside the point. [07:19] LinuxGuy2009: Thank you for clearly not listening at all. :) [07:19] meowbuntu, assuming you have the usb drive plugged in. [07:19] claptrap: You not being able to afford to buy one is beside the point. [07:19] Losha: Well, it's ext3 NOW. It was NTFS before I screwed it up. [07:19] airstrike, thanks a life saver tou are [07:19] to get to windows printer share, i add URI device? [07:19] no [07:19] Guest55573: thats really offtopic, i would try rhel or rhel like channel [07:19] claptrap: you can try with "testdisk", parted has a recovery option too but I'm not sure if it supports ntfs [07:20] Guest55573: usually people dont upgrade the glibc like that [07:20] windows printer via samba right? [07:20] hi guys in ubuntu 9.10 i have 2 alternate desktop windows. can i increase that to 4 im sure it used to have 4 [07:20] LinuxGuy2009: My question is whether or not there was a method that didn't involve a second hard drive. I don't see how I can be any more clear on what I'm asking. [07:20] SolarisBoy, ok thank u [07:20] meowbuntu, also assumes that the usb drive is mounted by ubuntu in the first place so that you can access it via normal methods on your desktop [07:20] danx: How does that work, do you know? [07:20] gba [07:20] claptrap: No theres no way to fit 500GB on a smaller drive. No. [07:21] LinuxGuy2009: Please just stop trying. You're not listening to me at all, and you're really only frustrating me more. Thank you for trying, though. [07:21] claptrap: both options will try to switch the filesystem back to ntfs, if you haven't write anything on your hard drive, your data is intact [07:21] hello, how can i run "modprobe ndiswrapper" at startup? [07:21] claptrap, are you thinking of possibilites to revert the format ? [07:21] claptrap: EASUS works with ntfs also, but it has to be run from windows, it costs money, and you need somewhere to put the retrieved files. You're unlikely to retrieve all 500GB anyway, but you definitely can't write them back to the same drive you're trying to recover them from. Sorry, that's just the way it is... [07:21] claptrap: Not sure what answer you want but thats the jist of it. Sorry. [07:21] Yo yo yo [07:22] hi, i've accidentally added the wrong thing with add-apt-repository, how do i remove it now? [07:22] hi everyone [07:22] any command to get the monitor name in linux??? [07:22] !recover > claptrap [07:22] claptrap, please see my private message [07:22] Anarhist: use software sources under administration menu [07:22] srini, echo $DISPLAY ? [07:23] Srini: define "name" please [07:23] Losha: Well, even if I can't recover the whole 500 GB, I need to get SOME of those files off of there. Pics, text files, that sorta thing. If I can even just, somehow, grab some of them and move on to the 250, I wouldn't feel nearly as horrible as I do right now. [07:23] airtonix: If that's a possibility, yed. [07:23] claptrap: you'll find some info on what you need to do in the info ubottu gave you via PM, I don't remember if those links have info about "testdisk" but it is also a good tool (besides parted) [07:23] Claptrap: got backups? [07:24] Airtonix: i want to get my monitor details model, vendor,... [07:24] Actionparsnip: i want to get my monitor details model, vendor,... [07:24] ActionParsnip: Unfortunately, no. That's part of what I was hoping to do, soon. It's part of why I was doing this formatting in the first place. /= [07:24] Srini: try /var/log/Xorg.log.0 file or read through: dmes | less [07:24] claptrap: well, start with the free tools of course. In my own case (not the same as yours) EASUS was the only thing that found anything useful... [07:25] Claptrap: foremost may help. Get a backup asap [07:25] danx: Yeah, I saw some info on testdisk on one of those, I think, but it wasn't very apparent what it did and it was near all the other ones that needed a second physical drive, so I wasn't sure. [07:25] ActionParsnip: Yeah, definitely. /= [07:25] Claptrap: it takes a while so run it overnight [07:25] hey solar can you point out the seg fault to me? [07:25] guys, does anyone know how to edit the boot path of windows 7? i'm running grub, but chain loading into windows 7's boot loader... no idea how to edit that [07:26] ActionParsnip: That looks like it still needs another 500 GB drive, though. [07:26] !grub2 | unislash, tells you how in here [07:26] unislash, tells you how in here: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:26] claptrap: you don't "need" a second hard drive, but it is recommended to dump the whole hard drive in case something goes wrong [07:26] danx: How d'you mean? [07:26] Claptrap: not if you tell it the sorts of files you want to recover [07:26] ActionParsnip: Ah. [07:27] ActionParsnip, this is totally OT and "out of left field" but saw an answer you gave on LP and just wanted to point out that VirtualBox can infact use physical partitions (Warning - "for experts only") http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [07:27] actionparsnip: does grub2 actually boot windows partitions? or does it use a chain loader? === kb is now known as Guest94058 [07:27] how can I disable del key in file managers in gnome? [07:27] Claptrap: the drive will be read raw and unmounted, you will then spit the files to a mounted partition [07:28] Unislash: i'd imagine chainload. I don't use windows anymore but that's usually the deal [07:28] claptrap: if you had the space, you'd make an image copy of the 500GB drive and run recovery on the image, so that the original was not in danger of being further damaged. You don't have that luxury (neither did I, the disk the failed was a 1.5TB disk) so do what you can... [07:28] Actionparsnip: now i am using Samsung monitor... any command to get these detail? [07:29] Losha, ActionParsnip: I saw someone up there mention reverting the format. Any ideas on that? [07:29] Srini: read the log file, it may show the model. The dmesg may too. You could just look at the back of the device [07:29] Claptrap: reverting? [07:29] ActionParsnip: That was the term that... -Scrolls up.- airtonix used up there. [07:30] Claptrap: you may lose filenames and some files may get truncated but otherwise it should be fine [07:30] claptrap, it would only work if the only thing you changed was the file allocation table...otherwise you're out of luck . its also a fairly difficult task by any means [07:30] actionparsnip: hmmm... doesn't say in there... i can edit grub, but i can't figure out how to edit the chainloader. It's definitely a windoze thing, but lets be honest, who'd ever do this but those who dual boot... so i figure someone might know [07:31] airtonix: All I did was format the drive from NTFS to ext3. Not sure if that qualifies. [07:31] Unislash: someone else may be able to contribute :) [07:31] ActionParsnip: For reverting the format, you mean, or referring to something else? [07:32] claptrap: in theory, all the data is still there, so if you could reformat the drive with the original parameters, everything would be the same as the original. It's possible to do this with ext3 (though it's risky, which is why you'd want to try it on an image copy) but I've no idea if it can be done with ntfs and you risk scrambling the data beyond all hope of retrieval if it doesn't work. Unfortunatly, there's really no substitute fo [07:32] r backups.... [07:32] Losha: Yeah, there really isn't. I've been preaching that to people like mad, and then... -Sighs.- [07:33] hmm... might have found something. *cross fingers* [07:33] ls [07:33] hi [07:33] Losha: So you mean, just format it as NTFS and it should be good, or what? Or does it need to, like, have the exact same partitioning? 'cause I know Windows reserved some for swap and all that fun shite. [07:33] claptrap: yeah, well, it's not like I didn't get caught myself... [07:37] Losha: So, what it seems is that my only real option, short of buying another 500 GB HDD with $40 I don't have (and it's an old Seagate Barracuda at that. Talk about failure. :|) is to try foremost and try to recover whatever individual files I can onto my 250? [07:37] claptrap: I've seen it done on an ext3 disk: restoring the *exact* partition table kept the data intact. I've no idea if it works with ntfs. That stuff is all reverse-engineered anyway. [07:37] Hi everyone. Trying to learn some scripting, but got a problem with this one; for i in "Windows XP client"; do /usr/bin/VBoxHeadless -s $i -a 127.0.0.1 & done The string Windows XP client seems to be sent as 3 arguemtens to VBoxHeadless instead of one [07:38] claptrap: that's the only thing I was able to do when my 1.5TB failed. EASUS let me pull off some of the files even though I couldn't even mount the volume any more.... [07:39] hi [07:39] pths: yes [07:40] Does anyone happen to know what the "super" button is? I'm trying to config compiz [07:40] Any solutions? :) [07:40] Dagon: it's usually the 'windows' key between ctrl and alt [07:40] Gnea, thank you very much :) [07:40] pths: nope, you've figured it out right [07:41] pths: but I'm guessing that you'd like to have $i contain the whole string "Windows XP client", which would mean that you're using a for-loop needlessly [07:42] I've got a list over more VMs, that is just one part of the script that is making trouble [07:43] a list over? [07:43] pths: you're probably better off to ask in #bash [07:43] Thanks, I'll try that :) [07:43] hi is there a linux version for this application http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/ [07:43] does anyone know how to install blender 2.49b, it fixes some of the bugs that 2.49a has [07:44] it will not recognise any usb devices when i run the exe in wine === goldenfox is now known as Guest15477 [07:44] solarisboy: still m having same problem [07:44] hi guys! [07:45] Zenker: The best way to run Blender is to just download the package from their website, extract it, and run the binary.

[07:45] solarisboy: can u tell me how to check whether modem is intalled or not [07:45] does ubuntu server can act like a domain controller like windows server? [07:45] Zenker: At least, if you want the latest stuff. Ubuntu's packages for Blender are usually far out of date, and it's super-easy to run the Blender-provided packages. [07:46] ldap server or samba-server can act as domane controller [07:46] *domain [07:46] oh dang i should have looked first, i just saw the linux dl at the same time, ty [07:46] mealstrom: how about like an active directory?

[07:47] d3lt40ne: use puppet or landscape [07:48] d3lt40ne: samba-server is something like netbios+wins+domain controller [07:48] please?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:05] indus:: I am sorry it is working ... but i was thinking as an moment i press f11 the window should cover the entire work space by hiding this panel .. is it would be possible to do so [08:06] indus:: I am sorry it is working ... but i was thinking as an moment i press f11 the window should cover the entire work space by hiding this panel .. is it would be possible to do so [08:06] indus: it is not edit it is gedit :) [08:06] subham, please dont repeat yourself :) i read it [08:07] indus : sorry for that [08:07] subham, dont know how to do what you ask , can you be bit more clear [08:07] indus: iam unable to do that..i was familiar to menu.lst and not with this [08:07] akshay, ya gedit [08:07] is it possible to have Nautilus select the file when you do "open containing folder" in firefox downloads window? On windows it does it but not on Ubuntu. it is very annoying to find a file when you have a download folder with hundreds of files. [08:07] indus: i did "make install" for my new kernel...wat to after that [08:08] has anyone seen lack of iso9660 in the JeOS kernel? [08:08] akshay, ok a custom entry should be added to the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom [08:08] how do I get to the "services" window in Karmic? [08:08] (karmic) [08:08] hello... are there any USB-stick images of ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso available for download? I have a PC withouth CD drive, but don't want to install netbook remix or so [08:09] indus:let me try [08:09] akshay, but before that [08:09] beni-: Do you have another computer with a CD drive (or Ubuntu installed on it?) [08:09] akshay, just try this easy one step, sudo update-grub and see it new kernel is seen [08:09] beni-: unetbootin will put any ubuntu iso image onto a usb drive [08:09] i go lunch now [08:09] i actually made a grub 1 partition that loads an iso [08:09] ok [08:09] upon reboot [08:09] once [08:09] Flannel: i have a mac, with CD drive [08:09] indus:ok [08:10] beni-: Is it 64bit? (not that it matters, but would simplify things) [08:10] Flannel: yes, both 64 [08:10] indus:thanks it did worked [08:10] can someone pleeeeaaase help me install blender2.49b? [08:11] my loader shows 2 ubuntu 2 recovery after last update... how to remove the older kernal? [08:11] indus:: i am saying when i press f11 key i want to c the working window should cover the entire screen as I am using hp mini and it quite difficult for any one to work on this [08:11] beni-: Oh, server? You can't use the LiveUSB creator for that. You'll have to do it manually. [08:11] indus:but how to edit the grub.cfg [08:11] indus : i want to give a custom name [08:12] beni-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD has a number of methods, you can find one that works for your setup (server CD is the same as the alternate CD as far as boot methods are concerned) [08:12] akshay :: i don't think you nead to edit this file in grub2 [08:12] subham [08:12] Flannel: ah sorry, no not server [08:12] indus: but i want to change the existing name [08:12] copied the wrong iso-name [08:12] you got exp with nautilus [08:13] anyone got exp with nautilus scripts [08:13] subham, i want to change the existing name [08:13] aksay :: i don't think you nead to edit this file in grub2 [08:13] subham,tell me proc [08:14] Flannel: i tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From%20Mac but the PC won't boot that USB stick. however, I could install arch from USB (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_a_USB_flash_drive), so my PC can boot from USB, i'm sure [08:14] ok [08:15] How do you set an application as the default for a file type? (Ubuntu 9.10) [08:15] subham, can u help me [08:15] Okay, my problem is thus: I am on a netbook. When I plug in my external monitor and tell it to switch to it (mirror monitor, extending, anything), the whole system freezes. If I tell it to turn off the external monitor, it freezes. So, what I've had to do is restart, plug in my monitor, and then it only goes from that, and I have to restart and unplug it to go back to the netbook screen. [08:15] Using Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit. [08:15] akshay :: you want to edit the entries for grub 2 for .. which part ... I have tried to change the entry for windows xp part ... on system .... [08:16] anyone got experience with nautilus or can tell me who to talk to about it [08:16] got a prob [08:16] subham, wat command shud i type to edit the grub.cgf file [08:16] will__, don't ask to ask, just ask. [08:17] ok [08:17] akshay :: gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme [08:17] i downloaded from gnome eye candy nautilus xml animated background editor [08:17] i want to remove it [08:18] because i cannot right click the desktop and change background or themese [08:18] themes [08:18] anyone know how [08:18] Then you should probably use Synaptic to remove it. [08:18] hey [08:18] Also, please try to constrain your posts to one or two lines as nobody likes to see it [08:18] subham,wat r u telling me [08:18] do you know what its called, i dont want to delete NAUTILUS all together and mess something up [08:18] when people [08:18] type like [08:18] this. [08:18] lindar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:18] See? [08:19] sorry [08:19] beni-: ok, so apparently ubuntu uses upstart with 9.10, is there a GUI for manager which services start at bootup?? [08:19] oops, sorry, didn't mean to send that to beni :P [08:19] subham, like menu.lst .........we use to edit ..........in similar fashion i want to edit grub.cgf [08:19] ok, so apparently ubuntu uses upstart with 9.10, is there a GUI for manager which services start at bootup?? [08:19] akshay :: sory [08:20] DarwinSurvivor, yeah, go to System > Startup Applications [08:20] so basically just go in synaptic and remove nautilus right [08:20] akshay :: no this cant be done so as it is having some differences in this grub 2 [08:20] having a power manglement problem. I have my laptop hooked up to an external monitor, however every time I close the lit it suspends. As I'm not using the LCD display on the monitor (preferring my larger desktop panel), this is a bit annoying as I have to leave the laptop open consuming space. Is there a way to get Ubuntu to simply IGNORE closing the lid? [08:20] DarwinSurvivor: see if 'bum' is available for your distro.... [08:20] I have installed the Flashblocker add-on for Firefox, but I can't seem to enable it. Any suggestions? [08:20] will__, no you probably don't want to do that as that's your file manager, unless you have another one you'd like to use. You probably want to remove the specific thing you added. [08:21] lindar: gah, since it was under "preferences" (which is usually user-specific stuff), I thought that was login-startups... [08:21] meco: Go to to Tools > Add-ons [08:21] lindar: Done that [08:21] why did they move that from "Administration" to "Preferences"?!? [08:21] well it downloaded as a zip entitled 110874-emlb [08:21] akshay :: just a minit let me chake out the correct command for it .. [08:21] meco: Dunno. I probably have the same one. Did you restart Firefox? [08:21] Hello all. [08:21] subham,, ya pls [08:21] will__, if you compiled it yourself, then you shouldn't have to ask me how to remove it. <3 [08:21] how do i find that and remove it through synaptic [08:21] lindar: YEs [08:22] lindar: actually, nvm, that is the *WRONG* gui, i want SYSTEM startups, not gnome launches! [08:22] akshay :: can you have an look at http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/customizing-grub2-ubuntu-linux.html [08:23] this will help you a lot [08:23] Losha: seems kind of weird for ubuntu to switch to upstart without supplying a GUI for managing it (same can be said for grub2) [08:23] well im really asking if you know what to remove, do i just delete it or uninstall something [08:23] Flashblock 1.5.11.2 ? It works for me. I'll assume you tried all the stupid shit (restarting, waving a chicken, talking dirty to it, and going to its preferences and ticking the little box that says "ENABLE FLASHBLOCK"). [08:23] DarwinSurvivor: don't get me started.... [08:24] I have the Flashblock add-on for Firefox installed, but it isn't working. It is enabled in the Add-On meny and Javascript is also enabled. What could be the problem? [08:24] will__, did you compile the software yourself? If so, then I can't really help you. If you're compiling stuff yourself, I would assume you know how to remove it. [08:24] lindar: Actually, it's 1.2.9a that I have... [08:24] no i didnt, just downloaded it, it said open the zip click the install.sh file and enjoy [08:24] meco: Dunno. You did all the stupid things? [08:25] lindar: I haven't compiled it myself [08:25] will__, dunno then. [08:25] quick question, any good codec identifying packages for ubuntu? [08:25] Look for an uninstaller? =\ [08:25] well thanx anyway, appreciate the help [08:26] foul_owl: mplayr plays pretty much everything and should tell you the codecs... [08:26] lindar: It actually has an uninstall button, but it's greyed out. [08:26] akshay :: you want to make changes for xp part or some thing els [08:26] meco: Click on preferences next to the icon and tell me what pops up, please. [08:26] foul_owl: mplayr -> mplayer [08:26] Losha: for some reason, mplayer crashes with this avi [08:27] akshay :: i'll tell you what i have done for my xp entry .. hope this will help you [08:27] how do i stop xserver from starting at boot? [08:27] o_O [08:27] lindar: I have a menu where I can unclick 'enable' and add items to a whitelist [08:27] foul_owl: unusual, but not unheard of. Try another player e.g. vlc or xine... [08:28] Losha: I get "Could not connect to socket" and "no such file or directory" then it exits [08:28] Efreak, why do you want it to stop? === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [08:28] meco: Okay, if it's enabled there, then I'd just recommend you get the most recent version (1.5). [08:28] because its mainly a server [08:28] Losha: I tried vlc, and it just hangs. haven't tried xine yet. i am looking for a tool like gspot that can tell me the codec or possibly verify integrity [08:28] Hmmm... nobody answered my question yet... *repost* [08:29] Okay, my problem is thus: I am on a netbook. When I plug in my external monitor and tell it to switch to it (mirror monitor, extending, anything), the whole system freezes. If I tell it to turn off the external monitor, it freezes. So, what I've had to do is restart, plug in my monitor, and then it only goes from that, and I have to restart and unplug it to go back to the netbook screen. [08:29] lindar: Clicking the "Find updates" button tells me there are no updatesavailable [08:29] was someone saying something to me [08:29] Alright, why not just install ubuntu-server next time? I'll look for how to do it. [08:29] i did start with ubuntu-server [08:29] but I wanted to be able to log in via xrdp; I've solved that bit already [08:30] beni-: You want the desktop then? [08:30] akshay :: use this command :: sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [08:30] meco, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 I typed "flashblocker mozilla plugin" into google and hit "I'm felling lucky."

What to do? I have a problem, Google yields no results, and nobody here seems to know the answer. Suggestions? [08:39] subham, you can change that settings system-wide [08:39] lindar: With the newer version everything worked as it's supposed to. But I should've been able to upgrade the version I had (or shouldn't have been given it in the first place as this system was installed only a week ago) [08:39] One of my network interfaces keeps going deaf, ifdown/ifup solves it.

Feel free to burn away the rest of your day trying to figure out why you couldn't fix your problem that shouldn't have been possible in the first place and how it became a problem, or just count your blessings that you ran into somebody as awesome as I.

[08:42] pls someone prv me [08:42] who can help [08:43] Ovidiu, if it's not working in Ubuntu or windows, then the only thing blocking them is either your router or your ISP. Are you getting a static IP from your router or DHCP? If you have forwarding, they might be going to the wrong IP. [08:44] if i use other pc it works... [08:45] jak zainstalować plik tar.bz [08:45] Can someone think of reasons why Firefox is still using 96% of the CPU even with Flashblock installed (and working)? [08:45] meco: What are you doing in Firefox right now? [08:45] ports are open from router,i use 2 pc and it works but this one with ubuntu instaled doesn't work anymore... [08:45] dugger5688: the motherboard always works, the pci card one goes deaf. I've tried three different cards, so now the name is eth3. One thing that might be the differnece is that I have a number of iptable rules for this interface. But it works for a while (several hours at least=when down/up it, [08:45] i have a ques,any chance for OO display correctly mathtype equation ?? [08:46] i have a ques,any chance for OO display correctly mathtype equation ?? [08:46] bag_ :: thanks .. I did it my simply right clicking and selecting desktop background and going to interface tab and making changes over there .. thanks [08:47] fstx, that's weird. Sorry, that really sounds like something in the kernel that's beyond my ability to fix. Have you filed a bug report? [08:47] lindar: I have four tabs open: two for a game called Starfleet Commander which does not have any fancy animated graphics, one for Wikipedia, and one for a Facebook Flash game where the Flashblock app is suppressing the flash content. === villesoini is now known as Zoikkari [08:48] lindar: And I haven't been active on Firefox the last five minutes approximately [08:48] how can i send a prv mes hee? [08:48] ovidiu, /query username [08:48] dugger5688: not yet. [08:48] or /msg username message [08:49] Huh... [08:49] fstx, I would try that. Could be an iptables config problem on your end. My experience with that is minimal. If you remove the iptables rules, what happens? [08:49] dugger5688: One thing Iäve noticed is that the ifconfig counters keep ticking [08:51] dugger5688: that interface is exposed on the internet, so thats not really ok. The iptables rules work they way I intended when I down/up it. [08:52] lindar: Nothing comes to mind? [08:53] meco: Try it without the game running? [08:53] dugger5688: as far as I can see, all my rules are stateless [08:53] meco: Even better, try it with a single tab open. [08:53] dugger5688: thanks for your help. my train is in, I have to go === daedalus_ is now known as campfire [08:55] fstx: the iptables stuff is relatively mature. I'd suspect the hardware first... [08:55] Um. Update-manager asked to update Apache... I hope that won't bring my server down? [08:55] theadmin: run a backup before you update, or take the risk.... [08:55] losha: I did, I tried three different cards. [08:56] Losha: It shouldn't damage the data itself, but i mean... It will be off during the update only, right? [08:56] I mean it is supposed to start after install or must i do "apache2ctl start" manually? [08:56] fstx: interesting, I agree with dugger5688 then, suspect a kernel issue... === emil is now known as Guest96037 [08:56] \ping [08:57] hello [08:57] potrzebuje malej pomocy ;) [08:57] theadmin: Sorry, no guarantees. The upgrade should restart the server for you, but there's always a chance that an update will bork something.... [08:57] mógł by ktoś mi pomóc ? [08:59] Losha: Well, yeah, that's true. [08:59] lindar: Now I have only one tab open in Firefox and it draws around 30% CPU... [09:00] meco any flash components on that tab? [09:00] meco: Firefox has a huge leak issue, it never gives the memory back until you kill it, same with CPU i belive... At least on windows [09:00] linuxlurker: No, and besides Flashblock is enabled [09:00] I'm using chromium lately [09:01] Firefox seems to have become as bloated as IE :) [09:01] theadmin: OK, so the solution to my problems is basically what I am relegated to already: killing the app and restarting it whenever things start going syrupy? [09:01] linuxlurker: No, not even close. Just don't install all those tons of addons [09:01] meco: Yeah :( [09:02] * Friction[laptop] has about 25 extensions :D [09:02] Chromiums FTW!! [09:02] meco: That's ducked up. [09:02] chrome doesn't have anywhere near as many extensions [09:02] but as soon as it does i'm switching [09:02] I've also been digging epiphany for very very light browsing. [09:03] * theadmin has 6 extensions only [09:03] <_saya> how do I lock my linux distro ? [09:03] lindar: What has? [09:03] I have an older laptop Dell 1100 I just ordered 9. and realized my old computer may not run it. [09:03] _saya: Huh? [09:03] Why not use firefox when you need the extensions and others when you don't [09:03] Sorry, I don't know i "ducked up" is an idiom... [09:03] meco: Just commenting on the memory leaks. [09:03] _saya, I'm not sure your question makes sense [09:03] because i always use extensions [09:03] _saya: ctrl + alt + L [09:04] meco: more of a typo than an idiom... [09:04] ah lock the screen? !! [09:04] Losha: No, I was just being cute. [09:04] Does any one know if a Dell 1100 can use ubuntu 9 if not does ubuntu have something that will work [09:04] lindar: yeah, me too... [09:04] Losha: Yeah... I caught that one a bit late [09:04] A euphemism rather [09:04] Ugh, I feel totally stupid, but I can't seem to figure out how to move the damn task bar. -_- [09:05] dmesg -c ,,,,,what it does [09:05] lindar: Right click it, choose Properties, change "Orientation" [09:05] theadmin, there's nowhere to click it. It's absolutely filled. [09:05] vishal: "man dmesg" [09:05] <_saya> linuxlurker, Clay^Work, theadmin, thanks for reply .. I think I should have asked how I copy protect my ubuntu turnkey ..

Can a Dell 1100 use ubuntu 9 [09:06] llitz: actually I m trying for dialup connection, but i am not able to do that [09:06] (parenthetically mentioning that "ducked up" is very close to (my) Norwegian "dukke opp" which means to surface or suddenly appear... ) [09:06] Beea: try it and find out and report back! :) [09:06] Beea: Probably. Does it have at least a Pentium 2 and 128mb RAM? [09:07] hi [09:07] _saya: I didn't think freeware distros were big on copy protection... [09:07] Beea Ubuntu 9? 9.10 or 9.04? Either way it shouldn't matter, my guess is that it will run it. [09:07] but seriously, thanks for not helping me, i actually learned somethin on my own by reading pages and pages of info which is a very difficult task for someone with my disability [09:07] Oh, and to anybody that cares, I fixed my problem. I have to turn off the pretty effects because, even if I'm switching monitors, it has to enable both for a moment, which crashes the graphics engine due to its inability to render special graphics when desktop size reaches a certain width. [09:07] cool I will try it. [09:07] any body know php prgramming [09:08] Beea: that's what live cds are for. So you can test without committing.... [09:08] Turning off the fancy effects worked and now I have my double monitoring back. =D [09:08] vishal: #php [09:08] live cd's? [09:08] Zenker: you might like this one: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and also this one: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html [09:08] So, how do I get my task bar to a different monitor? [09:08] losha: Yes, that is my conclusion too. But right now I can't even figure out good google terms. I tried three cards, but I am willing to try another one. What one shoul I order? PCI or PCI-e? [09:08] vishal: Type this: "/join #php" and hit enter, it will bring you to PHP chat room [09:09] Beea: The normal Ubuntu desktop cd and be used to test your system before doing an install to harddrive. To see if the hardware is supported etc. [09:09] Beaa, http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download [09:09] fstx: better throughput with PCI-e I thought, but really, 4th time lucky? Doesn't seem likely.... [09:09] You don't need to 'order' Ubuntu, you can just d/l the live cd, burn it an test it. It'll boot off the cd and run like it's installed without actually installing it. [09:10] vishal, just click on #php and you will be there [09:10] Hi all. I'm experiencing this weird thing on ubuntu 8.10 and rhythmbox : it switches from pause to play by itself ! Anyone encountered this ? [09:11] ngirard, yes happens to me sometimes [09:11] I can't burn it. my cd only is a read no write [09:11] Hi indus. How did you solve it ? [09:11] Beea: Ah, if you have a USB flash drive, you can also use that, assuming your system supports booting from USB devices. [09:11] ngirard, i didnt :D [09:11] Beea: one can make a USB flash drive with Ubuntu on it... but I cant tell you how, you'd have to ask Google [09:11] nope no drive [09:12] Beea, hi are you on windows? [09:12] indus: it's kinda annoying. Every 30s or so i have to pause the damn thing, then it switches back to play [09:12] How do I get my task bar to move to a different monitor? For some strange reason it's sitting on what my computer is treating as the secondary monitor, and I can't seem to move it, just change orientation. [09:12] Beea: Are you on Windows? If so, use WUBI [09:12] !unetbootin [09:12] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [09:12] yes, trying to get off [09:12] WUBI?

[09:13] Beea: See http://wubi-installer.org [09:13] losha: I tried two netgear FA310TX, and one 3Com 9c905c. Trying something more modern does not sound like a bad idea to me. [09:13] It's funky as all heck. [09:13] Beea,go to unetbootin.sourceforge.net and download this software , it will help you download or burn to a usb stick [09:13] lindar: It's not that bad, a bit of slower then normal install [09:13] indus: anyway, thanks for your feedback [09:13] Beea: you can order the cds for very little cost. https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [09:13] indus: (s)he has no usb stick [09:13] Losha, those cds are free of cost [09:13] My Apache is having trouble showing my test.pl in the CGI-bin [09:13] theadmin: I had a hell of a time with it. It'd be better to just plain install than install into NTFS. === bobby_ is now known as pranith [09:13] theadmin, ah uh oh :) [09:13] The site is /home/bobbyyu [09:14] lindar: You can't install it on NTFS [09:14] theadmin, so what is he trying [09:14] and I separated the public_html and the cgi-bin [09:14] I do not have a stick and can't afford one so I will wait for the cd [09:14] Guys, how do I pipe and display a result of a commant in vim (terminal) ? [09:14] Beea, it takes 3 weeks or so [09:14] Beea: Can't afford a 10$ USB thumb drive? Wowie. [09:14] Beea, can you borrow cd from someone [09:14] And put in the configuration pointing to that place [09:14] but after going into php channel ,,my msg is not reaching showing ##overflow === Friction[laptop] is now known as Friction[1] [09:15] fstx: older hardware is, if anything, often better supported. Don't let me deter you, but I'll eat my hat if the problem goes away with a newer card... [09:15] lindar, 10$ CAN BE expensive if you are a student [09:15] StrongOrder: you should be able to do | vim - [09:15] don't know anyone that has one. I did not realize they were that cheap. I will look into it [09:15] Don't know any Apache help sites, do you? [09:15] lindar, and even though i have been working 10 years, i just got my pen drive a year ago [09:15] I am disabled on a fixed income [09:15] bobbyyu: you could ask in #apache [09:15] bobbyyu: I might be of some help [09:16] Beea, where are you from? [09:16] indus: I wasn't sure, I seemed to recall they were charging postage nowadays. Free is better still... [09:16] brjann, hg diff path_to_file | vim does not work for me :( [09:16] seattle [09:16] hi. looking for some help. i have a wacom bamboo graphics tablet and it has its software installed on windows. wine will not run the installation for that, so i was wondering if i might be able to get some drivers for it, or something. [09:16] Losha, no, postage paid by addressee [09:16] StrongOrder: hg diff path_to_file | vim - [09:16] No. brjann. Apache closed its channel [09:16] StrongOrder: Try that [09:16] StrongOrder: | vim - the dash is important [09:16] admin, what should I do? :) [09:16] bobbyyu: oh, my bad :) [09:16] indus: perfect for Beea then... [09:16] i cant figure out how to download all the files using wget , what i want to do is download all files in a web directory(stay in that folder) that match "Title_*.txt, anyone know how? [09:16] bobbyyu: They didn't close it, they just moved to #httpd [09:16] perfect for everyone [09:16] OK thanks theadmin [09:17] Beea, in seattle there are ubuntu groups which can give you a cd [09:17] err how can reduce the font size ? [09:17] indus: well, not for the impatient rich guys... [09:17] theadmin, yes, that worked. thanks! any url I can get additional info ? [09:17] StrongOrder: Read the manuals ;) [09:17] where would I find them [09:18] Beea, hold on [09:18] theadmin, the manuals of vim or bash? :) [09:18] By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled how can i enable that:D? the 1 milion $ question [09:18] Beea, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PNWTeam [09:18] StrongOrder: Generally "-" means "Read from STDIN" [09:18] oops i mean how can i reduce the size of icons ? ?? [09:19] the default icon size when compared with the size of the fonts i wants is very large [09:19] By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled how can i enable that:D? the 1 milion $ question [09:19] theadmin, I see, but it seems some programs do not support it. I just tried with nano, and it created a file :) [09:19] Beea, also here http://www.gslug.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [09:19] Hello. I installed the sky generator "stellarium". What time is shown there in the status line? It seems to be my local time. Does stellarium know that it's local or does it think it's UTC? If local, why does it count from 2010-03-28 01:59:59 to 02:00:00 (and not 03:00)? [09:19] ovidiu: just google 'enable IP forwarding'. $1M please... [09:19] Beea, maybe they would give you a cd [09:20] StrongOrder: the "Speaking Unix" series from IBM is always a classic. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/views/aix/libraryview.jsp?search_by=Speaking+UNIX+Part [09:20] StrongOrder: Lol yeah [09:20] i even tried to change the dots per inch .... [09:20] after goin into php channel it is showing cannot send channel [09:20] but it's only the font changes.. [09:20] brjann, wow, so much to learn.. [09:20] wat is this [09:21] maybe i should ........ change the resolution .. [09:21] hi [09:21] vishal: Are you registered? [09:21] no [09:21] anybody tried killer k1? [09:21] Hi, abhi_nav [09:21] how to registered [09:21] fstx: what's that ? [09:21] theadmin :-) [09:21] StrongOrder: well, yes, but it's a pretty gentle introduction to a lot of topics. [09:21] vishal: See "/msg nickserv help register" [09:21] working on a network setup.. i have a project where i am consolidating two offices, my main goal is to setup a server where files can be accessed by any computer in two different offices, but what i would like to do is have a server in each office that automatically 'syncs' files as they are updated on either location, i don't know if this is possible or where to even start. Currently i am working with about a total of about 200gb of data also. [09:21] Beea: PM me your address and I'll mail you out a dvd tomorrow... [09:21] fstx: an ethernet card. I think you can run iptables on the card [09:22] sikun: Uhhh... networked redundant RAID array? =\ [09:22] Sorry about that.. thanks for the url. my computer locked up [09:22] i need a cd not dvd [09:22] Still haven't figured out how to get that task bar on the other monitor. =D [09:23] lindar: networked raid? [09:23] I think I will just pick up a USB stick and do it that way. Thanks for all the help.

[09:25] lindar: well what i was thinking at first was of doing a VPN setup or something along the lines of that.. but.. i don't have access to an internet connection that actually has a decent upload, the files i'll be dealing with are anywhere from 0-15mb each, and the internet connection on the server side would have a max of about 1mbit upload.. so i was just thinking of having two file servers each replicating files to each other [09:26] sikun: you might look into unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ [09:26] bummer now I will have to use a different password [09:26] !info unison | sikun [09:26] sikun: Yeah, so you have one half of the array at one location, and one half at the other. Except that... that's a stupid idea. [09:26] sikun: unison (source: unison): A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.27.57-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 522 kB, installed size 1236 kB [09:26] Cos it would have to write to both drives. [09:26] Hey, there you go. [09:26] hmm... unison looks promising! [09:27] Server sync software would be the better option. [09:27] I overlooked the fact that data would have to be written to both drives, which doesn't help your upload problem. [09:27] So... there you go. =P [09:27] sikun: when I was a lad, we used rsync.... [09:28] hej någon som kunde hjälpa mig med min firefox [09:28] !se | tiina [09:28] tiina: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du i #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [09:28] lol.. i've used *nix for about 6 years... i know a decent amount.. but still would definately consider myself a newb, haha [09:29] hej jag har av nångon misstag installerat pre-firefox namoroka webläsare o vill ha tillbaka den vanliga firefox...vet du vilken det är? [09:29] the thought crossed my mind about just using windows server.. but then i decided not to even bother even toying with the idea, since the cost of just two licenses for what i would need is just outrageous [09:29] !no | tiina [09:29] tiina: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [09:30] nej någon som pratar svenska här? [09:30] !se | tiina [09:30] tiina: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du i #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [09:30] tiina: skriv /join #ubuntu-se , takk [09:31] what do you say: netgear ga311, intel pro/1000gt or d-link dge-528t? [09:33] sikun: you'll have to check my math, but 200GB at 1mbit/sec will take about 20 days to do the initial sync. At that rate, you may never be able to keep up with the changes.... [09:33] ok.. one last question, this network has about a total of 10 people that access files, on a scale of 1-10 of difficulty.. how is setting up a domain controller under ubuntu (hopefully i am using correct terminology.. i just want to be able to restrict only authorized users to access what they are allowed to, etc..)? [09:33] sikun: yeah, for the first sync, you might get better bandwidth out of the postal service ;) [09:33] Losha: well.. i'd say the first sync will be done just by using an external hard drive [09:33] hahaha [09:34] sikun: still doesn't let you out of doing the math. Just how much data are you planning to sync...? [09:35] well on average... each day i would say a max amount of data change would be no more than 1-2gb [09:36] office #2 is being downsized and will only be used once a week.. so its not a problem only having it sync every other day, or just two days before its used [09:36] sikun: so what happens if two people on opposite ends of the link try to edit the same file? [09:36] thats also what i was wondering... if its possible to 'lock' the file when someone has it opened [09:37] Why can't i "sudo echo somestuff > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/somefile"? [09:37] but i would say right now usually MOST of the time... no two people are working on the same file [09:37] sikun: yes, but now you not only have a sync problem, you have a revision control management problem.... [09:37] someone may know if the beta1freeze and kernelfreeze will come today? [09:38] theadmin: use "tee" [09:38] hrm.. yeah.. i've been wondering about that [09:38] llutz: How do i use that, it makes no sense to me [09:38] well would a VPN setup be a better idea then? [09:38] Thanks all I am sure I will be back when I actually get my computer ubuntuized [09:38] theadmin: it's faq, sudo echo > cannot work [09:39] sikun: that's one of the benefits of unison over something like rsync -- unison detects non-conflicting changes and merges them both ways, and then can be used to resolve conflicts [09:39] where just mapping a network drive over the net instead of having two different servers? Then the only problem would just be office #1 upload when a larger file would be opened [09:39] llutz: Whatever, i'll just sudo -i and there goes [09:39] brjann: ooooh... [09:39] theadmin: echo foo|sudo tee file.bar [09:40] llutz: Ah! Makes sense, thanks a lot! [09:40] hi [09:40] I upgraded my RAM yesterday from 2 to 4 GB [09:40] on a 64bit machine, 64bit Ubuntu installation [09:40] sikun: well you still have a problem with multiple writers even within a single site don't you? If you want to allow that, you need a revision control system, and one that works remotely too... [09:40] and now the machine crashes shortly after boot [09:41] just completely locks up [09:41] Zet: first guess is faulty RAM of course. Run memtest overnight.... [09:41] I did [09:41] no errors [09:41] Losha: yeah.. hmmm [09:41] OLAAA [09:41] I also tried the new RAM in all available slots. no difference. [09:42] Zet: how long did you let memtest run? [09:42] brjann: almost 9 hours [09:42] memtest is useless really [09:42] Zet: okay, i withdraw my unspoken objection ;) [09:42] who has time to run that [09:42] indus: you run it overnight while you're sleeping... [09:42] indus: people trying to find hardware issues [09:43] not even 1 % Of users ever do it [09:43] i have statistics [09:43] indus :-) [09:43] its easier to replace ram and check [09:43] I want to try Gentoo from within Ubuntu. Would it be possible to resize my root partition to allow space for Gentoo or do you suggest another method? [09:43] indus: pulled from which orifice? [09:43] Hey ... Why when i try to connect to my wireless network and enter the password .. it keep asking about the password .. without connecting .. << :( [09:43] your friendly neighbourhood system vendor will help you [09:43] or if iam near i will [09:44] memtest is not 100 % accurate either [09:44] the computer does run significantly longer in failsafe mode, but eventually it still locks up [09:44] but off topic now [09:44] within like half an hour [09:44] zortec: Maybe Virtualbox? [09:44] Zet, does it crash always and always at the same spot? [09:44] Zet, maybe you have it two different ram sticks [09:44] silentx: That means that you have a bad connection. [09:44] zortec: Nevertheless, it is possible, download any live CD with GParted, this will do for you [09:44] testi: pretty much yeah [09:44] that aint gonna work good [09:44] silentx, either the source signal is weak, or you're not close enough. [09:44] indus: you can be quite sure your ram is faulty if memtest finds errors. you cannot be sure it will be ok if it won't find errors. simple it is [09:44] theadmin: I thought about using virtualization software but it would run slower... and prefer if I could just set up another partition in ubuntu and format it with a separate root, home, and swap partitions [09:45] lindar, it is my network and my wireless adaptor in the same room [09:45] theadmin: I have 116 gb unallocated space to play around with [09:45] llutz, ya agree but i once cleaned my ram with water and silver polish, leter dried in sun....... worked like a charm [09:45] zortec: if your CPU is recent enough to have virtualization extensions, virtualization wouldn't be that much slower [09:45] Zet: it's possible a motherboard issue, triggered by the larger RAM. Sorry, I realize that's bad news... [09:45] silentx: What frequency range does it use? [09:45] zortec: Great! Then just use GPartED to allocate it for you [09:45] hi [09:45] llutz, memtest reports 1 error but it is definitely not noticeable [09:46] Losha: yeah [09:46] is there a nhibernate mono version somewhere for ubuntu? [09:46] brjann: I'm not sure if it is recent enough, my CPU is an Intel Dual Core 2.1 Ghz [09:46] indus: until system uses this bit [09:46] lindar, it is 9DBI .. [09:46] it was nice to see my ram shining again :) [09:46] Losha: I did buy the motherboard used, so it's completely possible [09:46] anyone having problems with apt-update? [09:46] silentx: I didn't ask about the decibel level, I asked about the frequency range. =D [09:46] shahin: Nope. [09:46] indus: one memory error on non-ECC RAM is enough to cause random system crashes [09:47] sorry i dont know :D .. i'm new in the networking feild .. [09:47] Zet: how is your 4G ram configured? Is it 2x2G or 4x1G or what? [09:47] brjann, hmm i dont have it though, who knows what goes inside, [09:47] lindar, sorry i dont know :D .. i'm new in the networking feild .. [09:47] theadmin: hm, mine just says "99% [waiting for headers]" as soon as it comes to http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted [09:47] anyways i replaced with new ddr 2 anyway so np [09:47] theadmin: You wouldn't sugest using any of the partition tools like Palimpsest Disk Utility in Ubuntu? [09:47] silentx: Does it operate on 2.4GHz? 5.8GHz? Other? What protocol are you using? 802.11g? n? [09:47] theadmin: can you please check if you have that rep in your sources.list? [09:47] 2.4Ghz [09:47] zortec: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model [09:48] lindar, wait lemme check [09:48] Also, on what surface do you have the wireless router sitting, silentx ? [09:48] shahin: Yeah, i do, it's just slow [09:48] olaa [09:48] brjann: model 15 - Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 @ 2.20 Ghz [09:48] zortec: No, you need a Live CD to play with a root partition [09:48] lindar, they near to each other :D .. in the same room .. [09:49] if i ofter want to launch 3 or 4 commands, should i make an alias in .bashrc and separate the commands with ';'? or is there a nicer way to do it? [09:49] theadmin: hm, i've waited a couple of minutes now. is it just today it's this slow? [09:49] silentx: Okay. On what surface do you have the wireless router placed? [09:49] Zet did you als try to replace the old RAM, not using the old one as well as not using both, but the new one in the slot of the old one? How is the behaviour for each configuration? Assume it crashes differently or does not crash in the latter case, then the problem is probably hardware related. [09:49] zortec: nope, no virtualization extensions on that one :( [09:49] and when i compile programs from source, where should i put them? just in my home? [09:49] theadmin: What if I want to create another partition from the unallocated space? I'm also wondering if I need to create a swap partition as I already have one in ubuntu... so would just need a root and home partition for gentoo [09:49] zortec: If you need one from allocated space, then okay, go ahead right from Ubuntu [09:50] lindar, on my office .. :S [09:50] "not using both" -> "using both" [09:50] zortec: so long as you're not using hibernation, you can re-use the same swap partition for two distributions [09:50] Zet: what testi said... [09:50] theadmin: Can I use swap for both gentoo and ubuntu? My swap partition is 4.6 gb [09:50] I have 2x2gb sticks [09:50] silentx: On your office desk? Okay, do you have it next to anything like a mobile phone, monitor, speakers, or other similar electronic devices? [09:50] hi [09:50] brjann: Thanks, good info === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:51] I am not at home right now, I'm online from the university library. I'll swap the sticks around some more later today. [09:51] thanks for the suggestions [09:51] Zet: well, you know the original 2G is good. Try running just the new 2G.... [09:51] lindar, yea old monitor speaker and my desktop also .. :S [09:51] what is a good channel for buying pc hardware [09:51] Losha: I'll do that [09:52] Hello how do I view my hardware specs? [09:52] indus: #hardware I suppose... [09:52] silentx: So it's next to one of those big tube monitors and a set of speakers? =\ [09:52] p0a: sudo lshw will print out a nice report [09:52] indus: actually, I like newegg reviews, and slickdeals... [09:52] brjann, thanks :-) [09:52] and when i compile programs from source, where should i put them? just in my home? [09:52] lindar, yes [09:53] if i often want to launch 3 or 4 commands, should i make an alias in .bashrc and separate the commands with ';'? or is there a nicer way to do it?

It contains some scripts with tasks, i do often [09:54] lindar, wait .. I'll do it now .. [09:54] You know how the television goes crazy when somebody starts hoovering the living room? That's pretty much what you're doing to your internet. [09:54] just for the heck of it, are there any known lockup bugs in the new kernel that the upgrade thing just pushed on me earlier this week? [09:54] 2.6.20 or something? [09:55] otswim: an alias with ; separated programs is a perfectly reasonable way to do that... === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [09:55] ok great thanks [09:55] I just remembered I had not rebooted after that kernel upgrade before I shut down to install the ram [09:55] lindar: just another reason not to do housework... [09:55] xD [09:55] Losha: otswim: i alaways used && to separate commands in one line. What is the difference to ; ? [09:55] so i should put the bins in ~/bin, but what about the sources? [09:55] Why aren't things like induction and basic electronics included in general education? === patrick is now known as Guest54563 [09:56] Zet: if there are, you're the first person to complain about it, which seems unlikely... [09:56] hmw: when you use && the second command will be executed only if the first one succedeed [09:56] hmw: && executes command to the right only if the one to the left exits without error, [09:56] Even really basic stuff. "Speakers have magnets, magnets fuck up yo shit." [09:56] how to change permission of my folder from ( root ) to Owner ? [09:56] otswim: aah...thanks... should have been obvious [09:56] Hello what's that utility that lets you paste stuff from the command line? Ie "paste foo.txt" -> http://.com/UocgJT [09:56] !language > lindar [09:56] lindar, please see my private message [09:56] sorry [09:56] =D [09:56] lindar, done .. [09:56] !pastebinit > p0a [09:56] p0a: pastebinit [09:56] p0a, please see my private message [09:56] how to chance owner from root - to my user [09:56] p0a: pastebinit [09:57] system info [09:57] lindar, I'll start to connect know .. [09:57] yehia: su - user [09:57] Disconnecting .. [09:57] so i should put the binaries in ~/bin, but what about the sources? [09:57] yehia: something like 'sudo chown -R Owner folder' [09:57] otswim: I keep sources in ~/src, binaries in ~/bin .... [09:58] otswim: you could call it ~/scripts if you prefer... some files in the various "bin" folders are actually shells scripts, btw [09:58] okay [09:58] llutz, i did what you told me [09:58] I get an error in the partition manager that there are too many primary partitions. Is there a way around that? [09:58] I installed it, but when I try "echo foo | pastebinit" it says "http://pastebin.com" [09:58] what it the next step llutz. [09:58] Where's the rest of the link? [09:58] zortec, no [09:58] otswim: the actual names are arbitrary, it's just about hygiene really... [09:58] yehia: sorry, misread you. ctrl-d to exit [09:59] Losha: yes sure; i was just asking about what's common [09:59] yehia: do what Losha told you [09:59] nemiro: You can only have a max of 4 primary partitions? [09:59] zortec: with MBR, yes [09:59] zortec, yes.. unless you do something odd which I can't remember [09:59] losha , said ( something like ) [09:59] p0a: yeah, pastebin.com hasn't worked for me recently either. try pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.org [09:59] what does this mean llutz . [10:00] yehia: sudo chown -R user:group /directory [10:00] nemiro: So is there any way I can set a partition as extended? I'm trying to create one to hold /gentoo/home [10:00] p0a: wait, that's not the right url. just a sec [10:00] nemiro: zortec: you could use GPT instead of MBR [10:00] zortec: make the 4th an extended (logical) partition, then put extra logical partitions inside it.... [10:00] brjann, it's .com [10:00] p0a: ah, right. my bad [10:01] brjann, how do I alias this to pasteit? pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [10:01] So when I type pasteit in the command line I'll get that command ^ [10:01] yehia: for files it would be "sudo chown user:group /path/to/file" [10:01] nemiro: zortec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record [10:01] does anyone else get a gpg error when updating package lists on 9.10? Karmic-updates Release is the one giving an error on my two machines [10:01] p0a: alias pasteit='pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com' should work [10:02] p0a: you'll have to put that in your ~/.bash_profile if you want it to persist across logins (which i assume you do) [10:02] no ez az xchat se szebb :) [10:02] it tells me so llutz . chown: missing operand after `yehia:yehia/~/.fluxbox/styles' [10:02] brjann, good idea [10:02] Try `chown --help' for more information.

[10:05] thanks it worked [10:05] hi all [10:05] brjann: the old one started requiring registration or something so they moved it... [10:05] #ubuntu-br [10:05] chown: cannot access `/home/yehia/.fluxbox/style': No such file or directory this is what i got llutz [10:06] yehia: then make sure using the correct path [10:06] !hu | teo77 [10:06] teo77: Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [10:07] Losha: i guess I should edit the script so I don't have to keep typing the URL all the time [10:07] brjann: :-) [10:07] that's strange, the alias doesn't work [10:07] p0a: type alias all by itself and make sure it's loaded properly [10:07] p0a: are you sure you used the right url? [10:08] alias pasteit='pastebinit -b http://yourpaste.net -a anonymous', when I run echo foo | pasteit the program doesn't seem to respond [10:08] while echo foo | pastebinit -b http://yourpaste.net -a anonymous works [10:08] the directory is located in ( usr / share / fluxbox and then the one which i need to change the permission is inside the fluxbox named ( styles) [10:08] llutz . one which i need to change the permission is inside the fluxbox named ( styles) [10:08] NVM! it worked :-) sorry for bothering you guys and thanks again. [10:10] yehia: your error shows "/style" missing "s". type carefully, we won't teach you [10:12] ok sorry for mistake llutz , [10:13] llutz , i did as you corrected me and it gave me this yehia@yehia:~$ sudo chown -R yehia:yehia ~/.fluxbox/styles [10:13] yehia@yehia:~$ [10:14] yehia: so it worked [10:14] who knows how to install cadence in ubuntu ? [10:15] llutz , no... still i cant change the permission [10:16] dreamflying: Probably with Synaptic. [10:16] can someone tell me the command to type in to restore all my repository lists to defaults .. i am getting errors when i try to update [10:16] yehia: "ls -ld ~/.fluxbox/styles" [10:17] hey guys, i've got gnome's thumbnailing set to "files under 10MB" and "local files only", but it's trying to a 2.5TB sshfs folder of movies...

I am using ssh tunnel at the moment but it is pain in the ass [10:20] dreamflying. i did but its not working [10:21] Hi, when I try to install mysql-server on hardy, I get the following error => http://pastebin.com/mbjwLN5k, can someone help ? [10:21] ginbuntu, use virt-manager [10:21] do you have root user ? [10:22] dreamflying . i dont know [10:22] you can creat a root user: sudo passwd root [10:22] yehia: don't change anything to world-writable without need [10:23] is it correct that Ubuntu cannot software raid1 2 Disks, but need it to be 2 partitions ??? [10:23] dreamflying: stop it pls, that won't help at all and isn't supported here [10:23] Hi pappies. If I install ubuntu onto a hard drive that already contains Windows Xp and Windows 7, will 9.10 detect those partitions and add them to grub? [10:24] dreamflying, thats like fixing a problem with a sledgehammer :) [10:24] linuxlurker: that's plain stupid, not fixing anything [10:24] Hi pappies. If I install ubuntu onto a hard drive that already contains Windows Xp and Windows 7, will 9.10 detect those partitions and add them to grub? I know previous versions did in the past, but I read conflicting reports on the 'net [10:25] Plooral: it worked on my box [10:25] so no more help llutz ? [10:25] hmw 9.10? [10:25] yehia: the permissions of that dir are ok. what do you try to do? [10:25] hmw with ubuntu being the last OS added? [10:25] Plooral: uhm... sorry, i forgot, 9.04, not GRUB2 [10:26] hmw yeah, that's the thing [10:26] Plooral: Ubuntu last is always easier [10:26] Plooral, my experience is that when you get to the grub install step, it will list what it detects, and you can back out if it doesnt detect what you are looking for [10:26] is there a command to reset my repository's to default or upgrade it to latest list ? [10:26] A couple of sites have said that 9.10 didn't detect the Windows 7 install, only the XP one [10:26] llutz iam trying to extract or copy any thing in this Dir ... its not accepting and tells me that i dont have permission [10:27] Plooral, you best be careful at that step then :) [10:27] hello . [10:27] Linkadmin hmm, does it? It seems I've forgotten [10:27] got some problem... my apt-get update.. stack on REAL1 [10:27] yehia: "ls -ld ~/.fluxbox/" [10:27] 99% [Waiting for headers] [10:27] Plooral, have a backup solution for recovery just in case [10:27] linuxlurker well, it's not the end of the world, I can get a bootloader on there [10:27] Plooral, yep [10:27] Plooral: perhaps you can plug in another hdd and make a test setup? [10:27] I'm just checking for other people's experiences [10:28] How do I run the command "gnome-session-save" to kill the display ? [10:28] llutz. drwxr-xr-x 5 yehia yehia 4096 2010-03-11 11:35 /home/yehia/.fluxbox/ [10:28] hmw I would if I could but I can't [10:28] hmw so I won't [10:28] :) [10:28] Plooral, I havent tried Windows 7 yet [10:28] Oh well, what the hell. I'm going for it. Worst comes to worst I have to put a bootloader on there manually [10:28] yehia: that's odd, permissions are fine. how do you try to copy things in? [10:28] can some one helps me with this issue? http://pastebin.org/109577 [10:29] Plooral, thats the spirit. :) Leave the regrets for later. ;) [10:29] Hello...does anyone knows the answer ? [10:29] that command worked before ( few months ago) [10:29] ive got some problem here ... my apt-get update.. stack on 99% [Waiting for headers] [10:29] ok i will tell you .. llutz [10:29] is there an irc channel for linux mint? [10:29] Plooral: i dont like 9.10 due to two details: the audio mixer only allows to set input volume and output volume, no WAVE/LINE/MIC etc. Secondly, you cannot configure services via the GUI anymore. Therefore I went back to 9.04. Perhaps that is an option for you? [10:29] yehia: nautilus/cp? [10:30] !mint | Vtec [10:30] Vtec: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [10:30] REAL1 and you've "ctrl-C"ed that puppy and done it again? [10:30] llutz, I extract Nasa.tar.gz to ~/.fluxbox/styles/ and when i do this ... it tells me that i cant do it coz i have no permission [10:30] How to fix grub after formating windows? [10:30] Plooral, try that aleardy. [10:30] !mintsupport | Vtec [10:30] Vtec: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [10:30] thankyou very much [10:30] Vtec: sorry, that ^ was the one i meant to type :( [10:30] hmw hmm, it may be. I have both isos here. So 9.10 has proved problematic for people ... [10:31] REAL1, a problem with your mirror perhaps? [10:31] dont know [10:31] yehia: like this "tar xzf Nasa.tar.gz -C ~/.fluxbox/styles"? [10:31] :-0 [10:31] Plooral: I just didnt like it very much. The boot graphics/window styles are changed too, now it is no longer "summer" but "autumn" :) [10:32] llutz, ok lets talk there [10:32] hmw ok. Well, the truth of it is I usually only install a base ubuntu and use openbox, not gnome anyway [10:32] Plooral, +1 openbox [10:32] yehia: don't try to pm me, it will be ignored [10:32] hmw but thanks for your input. It means you care [10:32] :) [10:33] * hmw cares [10:33] * Plooral cares that hmw cares === Guest15477 is now known as goldenfox [10:34] ok llutz , the command as i told you before i want to extract or copy some files in the dir which is ( Fluxbox/styles ) its not accepting it and tells me i have no permission . [10:34] you have to love it when people say "that command worked for me a few weeks ago" [10:34] i am trying to set up a tunnel so i can be able to connect to freenode even behind our campus's proxy, is theis someone who has done this before and is willing to take my hand on this, i am following an artical in [http://www.debubuntu.org/2006/04/08/22-ssh-and-port-forwarding-or-how-to-get-through-a-firewall] [10:35] nmvictor yeah, what's the problem? Of course, your campus has to allow connections out on port 22 [10:35] Can anyone see why this command would not work: tar -xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr? [10:35] nmvictor if they don't you can run the remote ssh server on port 80 or 443 [10:36] zortec, this is ubuntu support, not gentoo support - is there not a gentoo channel? [10:36] I'm installing gentoo within ubuntu... so I didn't know if the question was alright or not [10:36] nmvictor in other words, you need a remote box that you control running an ssh server on port 80 or 443 [10:36] Plooral: thanks, ok, i saw something like ssh @ blah blah blah, so how do i come up with the username and host? [10:37] nmvictor well you have to be running an ssh server of your own. Like one at home [10:37] Plooral: my computer is named nmvictors-linuxbox [10:37] zortec: do you have permission to extract the file to that directory? [10:38] nmvictor you need the IP address. Or dynamic DNS name if you have one [10:38] all what i need to change the owner to have permission ... cant any body tell me how to fix it ? [10:38] is it soo hard issue? [10:38] Plooral: is it possible to run that on one machine or do i need another machine for that? [10:38] nmvictor it looks like; CAMPUS --> NMVICTORS_LINUXBOX--> FREENODE [10:38] yehia, sudo chown username:groupname dir/file [10:38] brjann: That was it, didn't use sudo to run the command [10:39] brjann: I often forget to do that [10:39] zortec: hehe, no problem [10:39] Plooral, so you ssh into your own box, and then your box accesses ir? [10:39] nmvictor incidently, I got around the whole thing by getting what we call here "mobile broadband". Modem is a USB stick and does about 400kB/s downloads [10:39] ortvorsteher . i have done this before many times and no USE -- [10:39] linuxlurker yep [10:39] So I have a follow-up question, is it necessary to use sudo any time you are doing file operations? [10:39] Plooral, cool :) [10:39] so how do i starts, how do i come up with ip or dns, whats the best option? [10:40] yehia, what exactly you need to change? do you use the right username which exists on the system? [10:40] nmvictor well your linuxbox is connected to the net, right? [10:40] Plooral: thats what am usin to connect at the moment coz i can get passed our campus's proxy [10:40] zortec: only when your unprivileged user doesn't have the rights to do whatever it is you're trying to do [10:40] zortec: which I admit is sort of a circular answer [10:41] brjann: how does one tell if sudo is neededfor a command? [10:41] ortvorsteher, yesss [10:41] brjann: I don't usually check rights before issuing any file commands [10:41] !tab | yehia [10:41] yehia: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:41] nmvictor so you mean you are already able to connect to your own box at home from campus? [10:41] zortec: generally speaking, your user can do pretty much whatever it wants inside /home/. outside of that, pretty much everything else is owned by root or another system account. [10:41] yehia, what do you want to change? show me the file or the dir and the command which doesn't work [10:42] nmvictor if you can, you just need to use Putty and configure it to use your campus proxy [10:42] brjann: the whole directory I created for gentoo is owned by root... I see that when I type "ls -l" [10:42] nmvictor I've given you all the pieces, but I have to do this install now. I'm on campus atm myself :) [10:42] Nop, i have dual booted one of the campuses comp withn ubuntu, i named the ubuntu system nmvictors-linuxbox, that is what i want to connect to irc with [10:43] nmvictor, so you are saying your box is behind the campus firewall? [10:43] zortec: as it should be, if you're installing a base system. if you installed it as your user you would have serious issues. [10:43] fr [10:43] brjann: appreciate the help :) [10:43] zortec: sure thing [10:44] Plooral: seee ^^^, i forgot to include your nick [10:44] linuxlurker: yea, [10:44] nmvictor, and you are connected to freenode now, behind the campus firewall? [10:44] ortvorsteher, i have a folder named fluxbox/styles and all i want to do is to copy something inside this folder or to extract something into this folder ... but always gives me ( i cant coz i dont have permission ) [10:44] well, got to see if ff13 lives up to the hype on 360/ps3 [10:45] linuxlurker: no, i am using a modem, GSM modem [10:45] nmvictor, ah ok [10:45] ortvorsteher the command i do is : extract Nasa.tar.gz to ~/.fluxbox/styles/ but no chance .... [10:45] linuxlurker: So i had to disconnect campus connections in favour of modem so i could get to you guys [10:45] ortvorsteher , i also did what you told me [10:46] ortvorsteher , but still no chance [10:46] nmvictor, you have web access from behind the firewall yes? [10:46] linuxlurker: yea, [10:47] nmvictor, hmmm..I think this setup is a little different to what Plooral was thinking...I think the assumption was you had a box outside of campus [10:47] yehia, my nickname is ortsvorsteher, not ortvorsteher. show me the permissions on .fluxbox/styles [10:47] !tab | yehia [10:47] hi i have a usb device i cant cd to it has a space in the file name i cant change it even with sudo. what i need is the command to give me the syntax for spaces [10:48] By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled.how can i enable on ubuntu!1 mil $ question [10:48] linuxlurker: yea, so i was folloring this artical and i needed assistance [http://www.debubuntu.org/2006/04/08/22-ssh-and-port-forwarding-or-how-to-get-through-a-firewall], mind taking my hand on this> [10:48] nmvictor, let me read the instructions for a bit [10:48] I got a problem where my computer just freezes on the ubuntu logo upon bootup. no HDD activity or anything. just locks up. it takes about 4-5 reboots until ubuntu boots regular again. [10:48] I also built a brand new computer, and xfered my ubuntu install to another HDD. the same problem is there, so I know this is not a hardware issue [10:49] meowbuntu: you can either double-quote it, like cd "some directory with spaces" or escape the spaces with backslashes, like cd some\ other\ directory [10:49] was wondering where i could look to see what the problem may be...if theres some sort of boot log [10:49] linuxlurker: ok, i got into a snag, how i come up with the username and the host to use [10:50] By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled.how can i enable on ubuntu!1 mil $ question [10:50] ovidiu: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [10:51] ovidiu: echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding afaik (untested) [10:51] iceroot is probably the accurate one ;) [10:51] hi, please i need your help. is there a possibility to get the extern methods from .so file? is there any tool? [10:51] rotem: libtool, isn't it? [10:51] nmvictor, web link is not working for me [10:52] robinsmidsrod, if your saying :) i have no idea, i will check it out, thanks :) [10:52] objdump is what you need, afaik [10:52] ortsvorsteher , how to send you a picture [10:52] linuxlurker: web link, through browser? [10:53] nmvictor, yeah..it cant find that url [10:53] forget my previous suggestion [10:53] Hi! Does anyone know of a free process simulation software like ProModel? [10:53] rotem: used objdump to try to understand a linking problem once on windows (but it's a gnu tool) [10:53] yehia, you can use a paste service for the output [10:53] !paste | yehia [10:53] yehia: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [10:54] robinsmidsrod, sure thanks [10:54] linuxlurker: You mean you cant connect passed the proxy through your browser? [10:55] i am trying to set up a tunnel so i can be able to connect to freenode even behind our campus's proxy, is theis someone who has done this before and is willing to take my hand on this, i am following an artical in [http://www.debubuntu.org/2006/04/08/22-ssh-and-port-forwarding-or-how-to-get-through-a-firewall] [10:55] nmvictor, dns error..cant find the server [10:55] linuxlurker: which browser?

[10:59] nmvictor, the one outside has full access, so you make an ssh connection to the outside box which is running the ssh server..with your client on the box behind the firewall [10:59] yehia, did you found your terminal? [10:59] ortsvorsteher , i dont have something called Extras in my Application menu [10:59] can restore the default menu or top toolbar to Default? [11:00] nmvictor, the finer points of making that happen are beyond me...and it seems you are talking about one box behind a firewall without having an outside box [11:00] so you mean i can do that on my one box behind a firewall? [11:00] ortsvorsteher , but i have a terminal in my accessories and i can open it [11:00] reset gnome toolbar?? [11:01] nmvictor, I dont know of a way to do it with only one box myself, no [11:01] yehia, when terminal is open, type in there "ls -al .fluxbox/styles" and paste the first line ( and only this one ) here [11:01] How can I completely remove a program from my system...I had xchat on, but some settings got really jacked and I want to comp remove it from my system.
