[00:00] ok, feel stupid now. mhall119|work, thanks [00:00] DavidJHeinrich: let's do some more check, if it's a standard karmic install, shall be there by default, which ubuntu version are you running ? [00:00] hi, can someone quickly recommend a recovery tool for ext3 if i deleted a file i didn't want to [00:01] adante: by rm ? [00:01] DasEi: 9.10....but I just uninstalled a whole bunch of KDE crap [00:01] !recover | adante [00:01] adante: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:01] DavidJHeinrich: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [00:02] DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit /var/log/kernel.log [00:02] k [00:02] do you have plymouth working on ati card? [00:03] DasEi, you havet hat working right now ? last i checked it doesn't work anymore. [00:03] DasEi: that just waits for a while, then produces http://pastebin.com [00:03] Hi there everybody. Could I remove the fglrx ATi driver for my Radeon card and depend solely on the xorg OSS drivers? [00:04] DavidJHeinrich: pastebin.com changed, but pastebinit will still work against paste.ubuntu.com === dany is now known as morgenten [00:04] boodroscotch: use radeon in the xorg.conf [00:04] for example: the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package? [00:04] not sure the best thing to do [00:04] How can I make pulseaudio accept several audio input streams? Like I cant play music in mpd and listen to something at youtube at the sametime [00:04] mhall119|work: so how do I get it to send stuff there? [00:04] is there any way to create a shortcut in the applications menu for a program written in java? it won't open .jar and doesn't execute commands [00:04] DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com var/log/kernel.log [00:04] DavidJHeinrich: it's in the man page [00:05] al-tabq: make a shortcut with "java -jar /path/to/the/file.jar" [00:05] airtonix: the paster ? gnarf, still broken, have to give site manually, see above [00:05] iceroot, i tried that but it won't execute [00:05] iceroot, i created a shortcut in .bashrc but it would be nice to have it in the menu as well [00:05] al-tabq: I use a simple script to call the java -jar ...., in ~/bin and use that to call it [00:05] * airtonix creates an override script [00:06] al-tabq: try with java "-jar ..." [00:06] Typos_King, so you use a bash script to execute the the java and link the script, that makes sense [00:06] DavidJHeinrich: should reveal url now [00:06] fabio666, i'll try that [00:07] al-tabq: yes [00:07] al-tabq: just do the way wine works [00:07] DasEi: from that command, I get a few msgs, then "IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno -2] Name or service not known" [00:07] DasEi: but I just manually did it, here's the pastebin of /var/log/kern.log : http://pastebin.com/eCeHY8Gr [00:07] do you know the dbus command to increase the screen brightness? === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [00:07] al-tabq: and on some, like my jEdit call, it uses the argument for -settings="...." to tell where my configuration files are.... so.... I use all that in the script [00:08] I'm trying to complete uninstall sendmail (I don't want any smtp on this server) but it will only let me uninstall sendmail if I install some other smtp instead. What can I do? [00:08] DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com /var/log/kernel.log ,typo, the / [00:09] DasEi: I fixed it, still doesn't work [00:09] DasEi: anyways, I put that file on pastebin manually, see the link : http://pastebin.com/eCeHY8Gr [00:09] Typos_Kind, nice! i'm just gonna use it for jdownloader though [00:09] so would anything bad happen if I removed fglrx like right now? [00:09] DasEi: uhh via samba so... not sure [00:10] EagleScreen assuming there is one, which I doubt at all [00:10] DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com /var/log/kern.log [00:10] Typos_King, #!/bin/bash, then java -jar ... should work right? [00:10] DasEi: I put that file on pastebin, it is here: http://pastebin.com/eCeHY8Gr [00:10] al-tabq: yes [00:11] adante: nick-miss ? [00:11] joab: interesting. What *exactly* does it say when you try to remove sendmail? [00:11] DavidJHeinrich: reading.. === 30BAAB07M is now known as smc__ === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [00:11] Typos_King, and then as 'sh ~/name.sh' in the menu aight? === afk|ChrisSoyars is now known as ChrisSoyars [00:12] Typos_King, sry for asking so much mate, still figuring how thinks work [00:13] al-tabq: no need to sh it, just make it executable -> chmod a+x name.sh; and call it name.sh or whatever else; I dump mines on ~/bin [00:13] Losha: Well, I tried installing postfix now to see if that would remove sendmail, and it did. But now I can't get rid of postfix instead. [00:13] Typos_King done, it works. thanks a lot [00:14] Losha: hmm.. It seems something called sensible-mda and mailx depends on sendmail/postfix. Removing those now... Yep, that did it :) [00:14] joab: very good... [00:14] part [00:15] Losha: I've just gotten this new VPS and the company that sells them seem to have preloaded them with a lot of stuff :( [00:15] DavidJHeinrich: seems like least 3 usb devices to me, wacom (tablet) storage and mouse, but no cam, again: does lsusb list any logitech ? [00:15] Losha: Any way to list all packages installed? [00:15] joab: yes, dpkg --get-selections "*" [00:15] joab: sudo apt-get pkgnames; [00:15] DasEi: but he Wacom isn't a Logitech, right? and there are more USB devices thanthat (printer, scanner, DVD-drive as well) [00:16] erk [00:16] joab: sudo apt-cache pkgnames; [00:16] DasEi: let me post he results of lsusb [00:16] Thanks [00:17] DasEi: results of lsusb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/393646/ [00:17] DavidJHeinrich: no, just paste the output of lsusb with cam connected [00:17] y [00:17] DasEi: I just did, http://paste.ubuntu.com/393646/ === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [00:19] Quick question, how do I chroot properly into my drive to run commands for the drive? [00:19] DavidJHeinrich: yes, seems recognized though kernel declares it as usb reiceiver ; wacom is your touchpad [00:19] GodfatherofEire: you've got the partition mounted, yes? [00:20] brjann, not yet, I remember something about mounting and looping it [00:20] DasEi: one of them is a USB receiver. I have 2 Logitech devices -- my webcam, and my mouse [00:20] GodfatherofEire: no looping necessary; I assume you're in another OS or on a live cd? [00:20] brjann, just on the live CD [00:21] GodfatherofEire: okay. what partitions do you have? just one, mounted at / ? [00:21] Can anyone answer an RSS feed question for me? The Slashdot RSS feed (http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot) seems to list 15 stories at a time. If a desktop feed reader was not running, but is opened after say 18 new items have been posted, is there any way for it to automatically fill in any gap? Are there multiple pages to a feed, or anything like that which would allow it to catch up fully? [00:21] brjann, yeah, just the one [00:21] DasEi: I presume this one is the webcam, b/c when I unplug the Logitech mouse receiver, this is all that shows up for Logitech from lsusb: Bus 002 Device 011: ID 046d:0802 Logitech, Inc. [00:22] Technically its not ubuntu, but Back|Track, but its a debian-type distro, so its close enough. [00:22] I can chroot in, I just thought I needed to loop some dir [00:22] Hi guys! Whats the FASTEST filesystem? EXT2/3/4? [00:22] Backwards1: wha? [00:22] GodfatherofEire: oh, do you mean /proc and /dev and all that? [00:22] Yes, there we go [00:22] DavidJHeinrich: let's try to ensure webcamdriver is there, then try a reboot, maybe unplug the receiver once, to see if that interferes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/393659/ [00:22] !ext4 [00:22] Typos_King: Do you know anything about desktop RSS readers? [00:23] GodfatherofEire: gotcha. go ahead and mount your root partition, say at /mnt/ubuntu [00:23] Drknezz: can't say, I've used all 3 and the only difference between is, ext2 isn't journaling, the other 2 are, I've used both 3 and 4, and the speed seems to be the same :) [00:23] Typos_King: Isnt ext4 faulty? [00:23] GodfatherofEire: then you'll sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc and sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev [00:23] Backwards1: not sure what that is, sounds like a new 'buzzword' though [00:23] than a practical feature [00:23] Drknezz: No. [00:24] ZykoticK9- Eject worked, but now the installation doesn't detect the new disc, hahaha. [00:24] DasEi: should I just paste that whole thing into my terminal? [00:24] Drknezz: nope, worked fine for me [00:24] Typos_King: Not that new, but sort of buzzword-ish, I guess. === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [00:24] jpds: i heard ext4 was pretty fast, but easily corruptable [00:24] DavidJHeinrich: also take a look at output from dmesg, if there are errors shown ; yes, whole block [00:24] brjann, then chroot I assume? [00:24] Drknezz: Yeah, it's been fidxed. [00:24] Backwards1: then.... not sure what your 'buzzword' stand for :{ [00:24] jpds: Phoronix guys lost some benchmark data because of that [00:24] GodfatherofEire: once that's done, you can chroot: sudo chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash and source /etc/profile (that last command is inside the chroot) [00:25] GodfatherofEire: yep [00:25] brjann, thanks a million [00:25] DasEi: k, doing the command u sent me [00:25] Typos_King: Really Simple Syndication. Thanks, but it'd probably take someone fairly familiar with feed readers to answer the question. [00:25] GodfatherofEire: no problem, good luck :) [00:25] hehe [00:26] ciao a tutti [00:26] Backwards1: I know what RSS is :P, and I use an RSS aggregator, I gather it might be what your 'buzzword' is attempting to address, sorry for my lack of 'c00lness' [00:26] ubuntu [00:27] DasEi: I ran into this: http://pastebin.com/MMjjrmLy [00:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1426406 [00:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1426406 [00:27] Typos_King: Sure, same thing, probably.

[00:30] serverduck: sorry, no familiar with such yet... .maybe you want to elaborate more on how and when it exactly happens, for others to be able to help, 'does not work' isn't really explainful, and there's a lack of clarivoyancy in the channel ^_^ [00:30] si parla italiano... no so molto italiano. io se spagnolo [00:31] Typos_King, I have configured my pppoe with sudo pppoeconf...sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...if i type plog in the terminal something strange is there...maybe this can help you guys...

If i restart my laptop,(Eee 1000he), it will connect momentarily only to drop the connection a minute or so later after which I cannot reconnect what so ever. Ive been searhing the forums for the last two hours and have yet to find any solution that works. [00:45] Is it possible for a command line system to be going in to some sort of sleep mode?

[00:46] DavidJHeinrich: still error about phython-xml ? [00:46] l0lwut: ...... I am assuming it might be the drivers for the 2860? [00:46] DasEi: I ran the sudo apt-get -f install, still error about python, no installationcandidate [00:47] typos_king, ive downloaded the most recent ones and they still wont work [00:47] I've checked syslog and messages and can't find any info about why its hanging. It just locks up randomly [00:47] l0lwut: ... I mean, not sure on the wpa2 part, but I use a ralink 2860 and works peachy for me, then again, I installed the drivers which came in .zip by running 'make install' [00:47] typos_king, the weird thing is that if i set my router to tkip or aes it connects but if it is tkip/aes it wont [00:47] I have setup sodoers to allow a specific user access to /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon.

When I try to run the same command via plink, i get this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d82MB519 [00:48] l0lwut: the most recent ones,.. which ones are those? [00:48] typos_king, are you using v2.3 of the drivers? [00:48] I have a dell optiplex 170l that just randomly hangs in ubuntu. I at first thought it was hardware. So Installed on another optiplex 170l and it also hangs. [00:48] m4j: do you mean is there a video streaming server for ubuntu? [00:49] l0lwut: ralink issued a 2086 driver, which is no longer available on their site, but I found them through another peripherals maker, who has them for their hardware, when I downloaded, it noticed the .zip file was the one issued by ralink, no longer on their website [00:49] DavidJHeinrich: yes, phython-xml permantly removed from karmic, try to start it : gksudo 'python /usr/share/EasyCam2/core.py --gtk' [00:49] l0lwut: I don't use the 2.3, this one is the 2086 from ralink [00:50] Just looking for ideas on where to troubleshoot [00:50] DasEi: that gives me a carot...should I close the quote ' ? [00:50] typos_king, can you send me a link or something to those drivers?

That said, only one other person seems to report hanging with ubuntu on google, and it's not the same as your case. Which release are you running?

[00:55] can someone please tell me why xdmcp is such a pain in karmic? i used to use it all the time. i just upgraded, and after two hours i still can't get it working [00:55] typos_king, so you use that one and it works fine? also thats weird lol [00:55] l0lwut: yeah, works fine for me [00:56] ppaulhus, You can't adjust for 1024x768? [00:56] l0lwut: btw, I don't think that is the same as the 2.3v [00:56] ppaulhus, you could use xrandr [00:56] DavidJHeinrich: wget http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/easycam2-qt.deb [00:56] sudo dpkg -i easycam2-qt.deb [00:56] Sorry, read wrong [00:56] >_> [00:56] ppaulhus, maybe here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [00:56] Yyharssargyhaell: no, that's what it displays right now, but the native resoution is bigger [00:56] ppaulhus, Yeah, I misread - follow coz_'s suggestion [00:57] Yyharssargyhaell: thanks, I'll have a look [00:57] typos_king, yeah that is version 1.8 I have read in a bunch of places that it has the same problem, are you able to connect to a network that uses tkip/aes rather then just one of those individually? [00:57] DavidJHeinrich: that's a kde package, but avoids these deps [00:57] Losha: karmic [00:57] also, when I installed ubuntu, I had an nvidia video card in there... but now i removed it and im back to the onboard intel.. do i need to install drivers or something or thats taken care of automatically with 9.10? [00:57] Losha: I'm thinking something with acpi maybe? i'll try acpi=off when I get physical access to the box tomorrow. [00:58] After changing /etc/default/grub do you need to run update-grup for the changes to take effect? or does it pull the file dynamically?

[00:58] histo: You might also try 8.04LTS, as its the most stable.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:07] I have setup sodoers to allow a specific user access to /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon. I have set that user's timeout to -1 so I do not have to enter the sudo password. This works well. When I try to run the same command via plink, i get this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d82MB519 How do I correct this? [01:08] DavidJHeinrich: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:09] DasEi: nope, still no love [01:10] How do I use the channel bot and ask him a question [01:10] i need someone that is really good with networks and ssh to help me out please [01:10] Losha: Yeah my hunch is power management issue i';m thinking. Which is wierd because I thought a command line system wouldnt' use any power management stuff.

[01:12] How do I install git on Ubuntu? [01:12] DavidJHeinrich: just to be sure, the last ; now disconect the receiver, it's strange to me that usb-cam isn't clearly listed in lsusb, try a reboot, if that won't do we can try to manually make the old hardy driver, though not very elegant; short before I used easycam (kde one) here, it's still working fine, but their wbsite seems down, too [01:13] GhostFreeman: sudo apt-get install git-core; [01:13] anyone using hp laptops with nVidia graphic card? and have problem with the display??? [01:14] Hello [01:14] histo: more to the point, I wouldn't expect a *server* installation to go into power saving mode... [01:14] DavidJHeinrich: sudo reboot [01:14] I am wiping my parition. i backed up home. Should i back up anything else? [01:15] DasEi: I'll do that in min, hen report back [01:15] testing [01:16] anyone using hp laptops with nVidia graphic card? and have problem with the display??? [01:18] Nooneshere: I like to back up /etc also. It has most of the config files you might need to recreate the installation if you choose.... [01:18] DasEi: Webcam works again!!!! [01:18] DasEi: maybe just needed reboot? freakin' magic? [01:19] Thank you Losha [01:19] DasEi: Thank you! [01:20] hey guys. [01:20] saylar, and gals. There may be gals here too. [01:20] I'm desperately looking for someone who can help me with an openvpn problem. [01:20] well, i doubt that, but hey gals. :P [01:21] i described my problem already here, maybe someone can have a look. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8941068#post8941068 === brianherman_ is now known as brianherman [01:23] DavidJHeinrich: are oil to my senses, well, I gues you got a prob with the usb-receiver messing up the config at boot up, paste output of dmesg [01:23] saylar, At first glance it looks like your default gateway is duplicated. Any traffic not local to your LAN is being sent out the VPN link. [01:24] dsnyders, do you have an idea what is causing this behaviour? [01:24] DasEi: I left the USB receiver in, just rebooted as is [01:24] DavidJHeinrich: and also can remove the uneeded wget's and the failed easycam-stuff / ucvvideodir [01:24] saylar, My first glance may have been hasty, though. Let me take a closer look at things. [01:25] that would be nice, thank you === random__ is now known as Random832 [01:25] DavidJHeinrich: dmesg is of interest, and maybe syslog tells you which driver is used [01:25] DasEi: result of dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/393687/ === Random832 is now known as Random833 === Random833 is now known as Random831 [01:26] (forgot my password and the system it's saved on crashed - i'll recover the hard drive, but no time now) [01:27] DavidJHeinrich: looks all good now, usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo === Random831 is now known as Random832 [01:27] nm got it [01:27] DasEi: GREAT! :-) [01:27] so anyway - grub completely fails on my new [used] laptop and I have no idea why [01:27] DasEi: Thank you very much for your help [01:28] I managed to get it working with - LILO of all things [and found some bugs in that] but was wondering if anyone could help me track down the underlying problem [01:28] DavidJHeinrich: no prob, if you want some fun, try the sppedlink square cam (2 weeks, no way..) [01:28] also, do the kernel install scripts in apt support lilo (i.e. re-running liloconfig and lilo each time the kernel is upgraded)? [01:28] DasEi: sppedlink square cam? what's what? [01:29] DavidJHeinrich: speedlink*, another brand/model [01:29] what would be nice is if cameras shipped oriented in portrait mode, and the software could display it that way! I am a person, I am a rectangle that is taller than I am fat! I do not need to be displayed in 4:3 or 3:2...I need 2:3 or 3:4! [01:29] DasEi: is it one that is a PITA? [01:30] DavidJHeinrich: yes, it has a chip semms really exotic [01:30] DavidJHeinrich, have you considered rotating your camera 90 degrees to the left? [01:30] and anyway, portraits aren't the only thing a camera is good for [01:31] Random832: yea, it isn't designed to sit up that way...and then Skype just displays me sideways! === Bdfoster89 is now known as bdfoster [01:32] how do I have auto mount media work? [01:34] qiyong: you want /media/work to be mounted at boot-time ? [01:34] DasEi, work at the time disk is inserted [01:35] Possibly dumb question: When I authenticate to gksudo I don't have to again for the next ten minutes. What keeps a malicious piece of software that might have been installed by a user from trying to run as root every five minutes? Won't it eventually succeed? This isn't a concern of mine jne, just a thought I had. === cpdstudio_ is now known as BirdMouth [01:36] qiyong: which is mounted in /media/work , do : sudo chown -R $USER /media/work from your regualr user account [01:37] jimlovell777: not really, as it's just your terminal, another tty will ask again, before that default 15 min, also can lower the time, if concerned (like away from desk) === kai_ is now known as Kai_ [01:40] qiyong: I hope I understood your question right [01:41] saylar, yes, it looks like it would route anything from 0.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255.255 out the tun0 interface, and anything else out of 192.168.2.1 [01:41] soo, i need help gaining access to a remote machine..... anyone up for the challenge? [01:41] saylar, have you had a look at http://www.adamsinfo.com/quick-linux-and-windows-openvpn-howto-and-tutorial-including-vpn-routing/ [01:41] brandon420: ssh ? [01:42] dsnyders, thank you. i will have a look at what it says. [01:43] saylar, Is the linux box acting as a vpn client or server? [01:43] Does anyone know how to make a cups server print to another cups server? [01:43] as a client [01:43] client for vpn, server for ssh and samba [01:44] saylar, do you want it to act as a gateway for your 192 network to access the 10 network? [01:44] how can i create a .gz file of a directory using gzip [01:46] Extend: gzip -r /some/dir , see man gzip [01:46] Hello, I'm a windows user trying linux for the first time, what do you recommend: Ubuntu or Kubuntu [01:46] how can I set the screen resolution above 800x600? [01:46] i want to achieve the following. Computer A shall act as ssh and samba server in my LAN, 192.168.X.X. in addition, computer A shall connect to an vpn server. [01:47] xenaxon: I suggest Ubuntu, just because it seems to be a bit more popular, and so might be easier to find local support. [01:47] I seem to be getting very slow disk speeds since upgrading to karmic - writing to disk is in the 7-11MB/s range, and reading dpkg database takes 5-10 seconds. Any ideas? [01:47] so i basically don't need any interaction between 192 and 10 dsnyders [01:47] xenaxon: the core is same on xubu-kubu-ubu, that are just different surfaces/libs, ubuntu is most common, but can also-same sys, have kde and others besides on it, session-wide [01:47] xenaxon: but no reason not to try both. [01:48] i don't even know if that is possbile, possible that I'm just darn stupid ;) [01:49] Extend: gzip -9 -r YOURFOLDER; # iirc [01:49] Extend: though you can also use 'zip -9 -r ...' just as well [01:49] Typos_King, thanks [01:50] where can I find drivers for SiS Mirage 3 Graphics Card? I cannot fix the screen resolution above 800x600 [01:51] Extend: you might need to tar it firrst.... iirfc too, thus using tar instead [01:52] typos_King: whats the difference between tar.gz and gz or are they just as equivalent ? Iv never understood [01:52] installing ubuntu on htpc, wat filesystem to use ? [01:52] Extend: tar -czvf YOURFOLDERHERE; [01:53] any here have a zotac ionitx-a-u motherboard? [01:53] anyone know of a good usenet clients? [01:53] DSGandalf: http://tinyurl.com/y9qwj5x [01:53] renegaid [01:53] sabnzbd [01:53] that thing sucks man [01:53] no way man [01:53] best one [01:53] is there nothing like newsleecher [01:53] skraps: IIRC, gzip doesn't 'tar' or bundle, only compresses on a file-per-file basis, tar bundles but doesn't comprress, so a combo of both, produces a tarball with compression, hehe [01:54] thanks a lot! [01:54] skraps: which these days with zip/rar you can do in 1 step [01:54] renegaid: text or binaries? [01:54] binaries [01:54] Hi, I just burned a good copy of 9.10 (slow, verified, etc) and when I select the option to install, the slow strobing white ubuntu logo never goes away. What should I do? [01:55] How do I get Nautilus to open something in vim? the Open With context menus work for gvim, but not vim [01:55] oh, and after a while the scroll lock and caps lock lights on the keyboard just flash over and over. [01:55] for some reason my application minimize animation (zoom effect) minimizes stuff to my panel instead of my dock, does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how to fix it?? [01:56] does it matter what filesystem i use for ubuntu? i was just gonna use ext4 [01:56] ddrj: don't think so, I've used ext3/4 [01:56] ddrj: ext4 should be safe, but ext3 has been used longer and is somewhat 'safer' [01:56] alright thanks [01:56] hi [01:57] ddrj: it depends on what it will be used for [01:57] ddrj: different filesystems have different dis/advantages [01:57] saylar, you need to do a route add -net command of some sort to get 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 to use tun0. [01:57] it's just going to be used as a fileserver / torrent server + htpc to stream to my tv [01:57] PiousMinion: so you get a kernel panik there, test the cd on another comp if possible, then look into : [01:57] !bootoptions [01:57] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [01:57] ddrj: you might want to do some research on the different FS then [01:57] typos_king: i just tried it, I never knew that gzip wouldnt handle directories, I just tried and it failed i thought gzip was like zip or 7zip, learn something new every day. [01:58] seanbrystone: right-click on the file type, properties, open with tab, add, custom command: gnome-terminal -x vim %x [01:58] i am looking for a tv online program [01:58] damn [01:58] DasEi: CD is fine, what boot options do you reccomend? [01:58] PiousMinion: acpi or vga are often helpfull, but in the dark -- what kinda machine is it ? [01:59] blakkheim: different FS are good for different things, but most of the time(especially for ubuntu users) extN is best. [01:59] can you tell me a tv online program [01:59] or radio === Urda_ is now known as Urda [01:59] DasEi: dell laptop, pentium 4 based, 17" wide, radon x300, 1gb of ram. anything else?

[02:02] nwidger, I did that also but i found that on some systems you have to wait for an extremely long time for it to boot [02:02] earthen: hmm okay ill try waiting i suppose [02:02] nwidger, I tried one one computer and the screen went blank for what seemed like 5 min [02:04] hey does anyone know how to connect a linksys wireless wusb600N on ubuntu 9.10 [02:05] manualoverride: if there is no native driver, ndiswrapper my work, if not then you're screwed. buy better supported hardware. === ChrisSoyars is now known as afk|ChrisSoyars [02:05] is there an app to convert a string to hex? what is value of Ⓚ in hex?

[02:10] No one seems to know the answer and i have to keep on sudo pppoeconf, every 2 minutes which is absurd. [02:10] serverduck: It looks at ppp like a modem. think of it as a virtual modem. [02:10] serverduck: have you checked the logfiles? [02:10] lullabud, I don't know how sir. [02:10] PiousMinion, thanks for the answer. [02:10] So no one knows how to make a cups server print to another cups server? [02:11] Could anyone tell me how I can boot ubuntu in low graphics mode?

Everything displays correctly in other browsers. [02:12] Or a possible way to access the kernel without ever booting into graphical mode? [02:12] lullabud, ok, I will check it now. Thanks! [02:12] sqwertle: you can boot to single user mode by pausing the boot and adding "single" at the end of the boot string [02:12] I'm having some troubles, wondering if anyone could help. I had 9.10 installed, then installed 8.04LTS on another partition (using same /home, but different /). The burn was bad, and now I cannot boot to anything. Can anyone help me get my 9.10 install back? [02:13] lullabud, and what file exactly do i need to check? [02:13] I think the problem is that 9.10 uses GRUB2, not 1 === d_rugs420 is now known as dumdumz [02:13] lullabud, syslog? [02:13] serverduck: i'm not exactly sure. a good way to find out is to browse the logs where the timestamp is about when you got disconnected... [02:13] serverduck: syslog is a great place to start, but ppp might have its own log. [02:14] serverduck: also, there may be a way to start ppp in a verbose mode that will log all sorts of stuff [02:14] lullabud: The problem I'm having is preventing me from doing that :( [02:14] lullabud, well your answer is exactly what i've got in terminal....i disconnect every 2 -3 minutes , sometimes 1,5...1 [02:14] sqwertle: you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and set your default to single [02:15] lullabud, that's what i see in the logs [02:15] hi there! [02:15] Oh nooooo !!!....Help !!!!

[02:16] lullabud...I will try [02:16] serverduck: i'm not sure, it's been a long time since i've dealt with that. try `man ppp` to see if there's a verbose mode [02:16] I think I'm going to ask a dummy question, but: is it possible to restart the X server programtically from an X application? [02:16] lullabud, thanks [02:16] gloom: yes [02:16] Losha - I'm not sure at what point it went bad, bit it said there were errors on the DVD. [02:16] do you mean ctrl alt del ??

[02:17] I cannot find it at the moment, heh. This one for 8.04LTS seems to work for now though... [02:18] lullabud, really? How? I guess that if from the code I kill the X process, it will kill the X app as well because it has been launched from the X environment, so the next instruction which will be to start the X server again would never get to be run.... [02:18] I am on 8.04 livecd currently [02:18] cell, ask here, your questios, right now I can't answer because i'm a beginner aswell! :) [02:18] serverduck;ok [02:18] !ask [02:18] 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).

[02:19] lullabud, you have any ideea who can help me get this issue fixed?who knows about pppoe under ubuntu?

[03:20] valley76: It's very high precision electronics, with very find tolerances for moving parts. You only get so many reads/writes before they fail. Some brands fail sooner than others. Does it report errors? [03:20] here's the output from hdiutil: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/V3fpWW2T [03:20] Losha:right now it wont even mount [03:21] valley76: do you have a known good disk you can try in it?

E.g. in Windows, my Chrome menu bar is small. In Linux, its huge. [03:31] hay [03:31] at logon my theme is not applied [03:32] 17SAAKYQU: open the Appearance app, Fonts tab, and you can reduce the font sizes for application menus there [03:32] 17SAAKYQU: I found that bumping all font sizes there down to 9 worked very nicely [03:32] when i launch "apperance" it is applied but only partially [03:32] aloww [03:32] L00pB4ck, So we not talking about your GDM theme?

[03:35] qayos, damn... thanks [03:35] Hello, all. I'm speaking to you from the Live CD, where I'm trying to recover some files from my hard disk before a re-install. But it's telling me I don't have permission to copy them. Any ideas? [03:36] dpkg [03:36] L00pB4ck, maybe, Im not sure what is associated with gtk themes. You tried looking at the ubuntu forums? [03:36] knoppies, i'll go there thx [03:37] Or is there a command to take an existing .deb file and recompile it for your system? [03:37] git__, why should it be there? [03:37] knoppies: yeah i'm back [03:37] <17SAAKYQU> owner, try `man dpkg` or `dpkg --force-help [package name]` [03:38] hi [03:38] <17SAAKYQU> owner, when reading through the man file, it looks like you can force different things. Its a matter of finding the right --force (--force-install maybe) [03:38] Tdubell, I have a personal list of the ones I use often enough to need at my finger tips, but not often enough to remember them.

[03:40] i could probably find the commands if i looked :p [03:40] ohs Canonical [03:40] I7SAAKYQU I have some custom source code I wrote and compiled into a 32 bit .deb package. I still have the source but every suggested method of compiling it for 64 fails. [03:40] cmd is shit lol [03:40] Tdubell, see my private message. [03:40] pinkpanther: Please mind your language here. [03:40] sorry [03:41] <17SAAKYQU> owner, I see. I assume it compiles by command-line w/o the .deb file [03:41] just got a new processor. Does ubuntu support quad-core out of the box? [03:41] njbair: yes. [03:41] 17SAAKYQU correct. I found a how to page that worked for me the first time but I can't find it again. [03:42] 17SAAKYQU maybe if I could send someone the source code they could figure it out. [03:42] <17SAAKYQU> owner, ahh i see. I can't really help ya much more than that.. :( sorry [03:42] So I don't need a custom kernel or anything?

I want to install Ubuntu and get rid of Windows, the problem is that all my music and video(s) are stored on Windows, and I don't have an external HDD or other computer to temporarily store the music on. [03:49] @Dougdoug4, buy a usb stick, they are really really cheap. :) [03:50] i could give you temp access to an unlimited FTP server but the servers down [03:50] Dougdoug4: First you make a partition for the music. Then you put the music on that partition. Lastly you install Ubuntu onto the Windows partition. [03:50] :| [03:50] Dougdoug4: Try WUBI [03:50] I own a 3gb USB stick, and I own about a 50gb music collection [03:50] WUBI does not kill windows, it dual boots. Correct? [03:50] hi everyone [03:50] xorwhy: nope you can uninstall it just as you would a windows program [03:50] Oh, my bad. [03:50] id backup first [03:50] Hi pappies. Has anyone here installed ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive already containing Windows 7? If so, does grub-2 detect the Windows install? I have read conflicting reports on the 'net. I know that 9.04 detected it and added it to the bootloader entries as I've done it. [03:51] So, what should I do, brodawgs? [03:51] always backup [03:51] I am using a Ubuntu box as a router .. anyone have a good, easy application that allows me to generate IPtables configurations easily? [03:51] I like xorwhy's idea [03:51] and it's exactly the same thing as ubuntu. I didn't use WUBI I manually configured the partitions but I have used it before and it works. [03:51] hexdump_: That's what I said, to the one who suggested WUBI to the one who wanted no windows at all to remain. [03:51] xorwhy: How would I create a partition on Windows? [03:51] oh lol [03:51] hsunda3, probably, but you won't like my idea. Learn iptables. It isn't that hard [03:51] cant you just install bootable ubuntu inside windows [03:52] pinkpanther: that is stupid [03:52] Dougdoug4: It would be easiest to use your live CD of Ubuntu, and use the program "gparted". [03:52] void_pointer: I actually like your idea :) I am learning iptables, yes .. I just want to make sure I am doing it right. I guess I could use some netcat or tcpdump or something to see if my packet forwarding rules are right,huh? [03:52] wah [03:52] I think I missed that small detail [03:52] who called me stupid? [03:52] Dougdoug4, I agree with using the liveCD, but you can create a partition using your windows install CD. [03:53] hsunda3, or if you have access to a remote machine you can use, even better. i test my rules from a remote box. Just remember to log anything you want to see (like stuff you are denying) [03:53] pinkpanther, he said that what you suggested would be a bad idea, not that your stupid. [03:53] Dougdoug4: use virtualbox, that's what i'm doing [03:53] Ok, so how do I create a partition? [03:53] does anyone know how to have higher resolution for terminal login? [03:53] Seems all the regulars that "hold things together" aren't here right now. [03:53] void_pointer: yeah I guess I should do that :) [03:53] why would it be bad [03:53] xorwhy: Can you PM me? This channel is getting spammy. [03:54] Dougdoug4: OK [03:54] if you boot from the disc your morelikey to damage the win install [03:54] Dougdoug4: Better yet, install ubuntu without deleting the windows partition. In ubuntu, copy all your stuff over to the ubuntu partition then format the windows partition to get the space back. [03:54] emsilva: could I really do that? [03:54] well i id that once and it somehow deleted a few DLLs [03:54] if your stuff was FAT32 you wouldn't have a problem. can't you create a seperate FAT32 parition copy over your music then install ubuntu [03:54] Dougdoug4: yeah, I've done that myself. === KruyKaze is now known as LoopBack [03:55] ext4 can see FAT [03:55] I think [03:55] can read NTFS as well just fine. [03:55] is there any download manager, like downthemall on firefox, to google chrome? [03:55] it can [03:55] ok so I changed my font sizes... any clues on how t omake the Google Chrome border smaller? [03:55] well then there should be no problem [03:55] yup [03:55] and also any clue how to make Chrome listen to the system font sizes? Chrome fonts are still HUGE [03:55] well i know it can see fat 32 but i duno about 12 or 16 [03:55] just install ubuntu copy the music to your linux partiton and then wipe your NTFS === _linucks is now known as linucks [03:56] hsunda3, this is a good site to start from --> Linuxguruz.org [03:56] hexdump_, you mean Ubuntu can see fat, not ext4... doesn't make sense to say ext4 can see fat [03:56] get a seagate 2TB [03:56] ^ ^ [03:56] after an update a couple of weeks ago i started having a serious problem on my laptop.at startup applications don't run and custom themes are not applied [03:56] does it make sense to say ubuntu can SEE [03:56] psusi: if you know already why did you ask [03:56] void_pointer: cool thanks will check it out [03:57] I'm sure we both know what we mean my bad [03:57] hsunda3, and here is a nice example to start out from --> http://www.sns.ias.edu/~jns/files/iptables_ruleset [03:57] aint u got an mp3 player with ya music on? [03:58] Hello i recently installed Conky. I have searched, but i cannot find the location of the conkyrc file. [03:58] void_pointer: cool man .. yeah there are plenty of them on Google thanks [03:58] hsunda3, you will learn a lot about networking etc. by learning how to configure iptables manually. It is well worth it. [03:58] Ok question: I heard that if I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, that once I decide I don't want Ubuntu anymore, if I delete it, I won't be able to use Windows again because of GRUB? [03:58] hsunda3, yeah, but I didn't write all those others ones ;) [03:59] Hi pappies. Has anyone here installed ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive already containing Windows 7? If so, does grub-2 detect the Windows install? I have read conflicting reports on the 'net. I know that 9.04 detected it and added it to the bootloader entries as I've done it. [03:59] void_pointer: whoa nice [03:59] iv had conflicts with xp n vista [03:59] tm0 you are trying to change conky? [03:59] Ok question: I heard that if I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, that once I decide I don't want Ubuntu anymore, if I delete it, I won't be able to use Windows again because of GRUB? [03:59] Dougdoug4: they install on seperate partitoins u shouldn't have a problem. [03:59] jiohdi yes, it has the flickering bug. I need to apply the fix [03:59] whats the command to remount all drives? [04:00] Dougdoug4: I think many people suggested try WUBI. IF you don't want to use ubuntu anymore just uninstall it in windows no problem. [04:00] hexdump_ when I install and load the partitioner [04:00] tm0: you just make a file like conky.config and then start conky with conky --configure=conky.config [04:00] It doesn't give me the option to dual boot [04:00] Only erase all or specific manually [04:00] how do i scan for wireless networks in ubuntu like i used to do in windows? [04:00] Dougdoug4: what are you suing Livecd to install ubuntu or WUBI? [04:01] tm0 you can copy someone elses conky file for the most part and then apply your own changes [04:01] thats easy right click the network icon on the taskbar [04:01] I could refresh and a bunch of networks appeared... [04:01] hexdump_: LiveCD [04:01] jiohdi are you sure? I was almost it is .conkyrc ? [04:01] personaly i think usin wlan in ubuntu is 10 times easier than on windows [04:01] tm0 I have done a few conky configs in my linux time :) [04:01] after an update a couple of weeks ago i started having a serious problem on my laptop.at startup applications don't run and custom themes are not applied plz help [04:01] !pastebin [04:01] 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. [04:02] serverduck, if you are using the default gnome desktop there is an icon up the top. Click it and you'll get the networks [04:02] serverduck, if you are feeling a bit more *nix, type "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" in a terminal [04:02] So where do i make the file hiodi? in my home? [04:02] So, when the nVidia drivers are installed, it reboots or turns off as soon as it hits the desktop. If I DON'T have them installed, it gives me 'out of range' messages. I'm about to throw this computter from a very tall place. [04:03] tm0 you can make it anywhere you want, as long as you point to it correctly, but in your home/user directory would be best [04:03] void_pointer, yes the default theme but i have 20 wireless networks and i can't add every single one...how to i scan and click to connect instead of setting each up in network manager? [04:03] 20? [04:03] wtf! [04:03] Thank you jiohdi [04:03] tm0 np [04:04] serverduck, what do you mean "add"? When you left click the icon all the available networks come up, just like in Windows. click one and then "connect" [04:04] it depends how ur routers set up [04:04] do you have broadcast on [04:04] how do i setup in ubuntu 9.10 the medie center usb remote [04:04] anyone in here know about networks-ssh and vnc? [04:04] or is it hidden [04:05] brandon420, just ask the question [04:05] brandon420, I know a little, but probably not what your looking for. Ask anyway. [04:05] brandon420, if anyone knows the answer they'll tell you [04:05] brandon420: #remote-exploit [04:05] exploit sounds about what i need [04:05] tm0: here is a sample you can use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/393771/ [04:06] void_pointer, when i click network manager i get>wired networks(device not managed-its with grey)..wireless networks(disconnected)vpn connections....connect to a hidden wireless network..create new wireless network. === harisund_ is now known as harisund [04:06] brandon420: Be sure of what you need before you decide you need it, if you know what I mean [04:06] thank you again jiohdi [04:06] serverduck, sounds like the device is managed by something else. [04:06] How can I make a CD that can autorun and download this program from the internet: http://wiki.freegeekvancouver.org/w/index.php?action=raw&ctype=text/css&title=Qc.sh [04:06] void_pointer, wired and wireless networks are with grey and not selectable [04:06] (^_^) [04:06] Also tell me if there is a mistake in this program [04:06] whats the terminal command for compizconfig? [04:07] pinkpanther: ccsm [04:07] knoppies, and what is that?I can't figure out...I made my ppoe connection with sudo pppoe [04:07] )v-v( [04:07] knoppies, could that mess up the wireless network too? [04:07] xorwhy: lol, its not like that [04:07] jiohdi after appling the changes in gedit, i save and will they take affect right after? [04:07] brandon420: Haha great :) [04:08] serverduck, Im not su clued up on networking, and Im not even sure I know what ppoe is, but if you set up a particular device in /etc/network/interfaces then that applet cannot manage the device. [04:08] xorwhy: its really dead in there === d_rugs420 is now known as dumdumz [04:08] tm0 it will take effect as soon as you run the command conky --config= or is it --configure= and then the file name [04:08] serverduck, hmm I see. You should have a line in there that says "Available". Maybe you have a conflict with Network manager and something else. You could try wicd. Many people prefer it [04:08] okay thank you [04:08] moo [04:09] Can you help me my question, please? [04:09] brandon420: My experience with those utilities is pretty limited, I've used the protocols on a "do it" basis, rather than a true learning one. [04:09] anyone know how to set usb media remote [04:09] void_pointer, how can i resolve the conflict? [04:09] omg its the daleks! Exterminate.... [04:10] xorwhy: i jsut need know how to get a ssh on my old computer so i can start up vnc, i have all the info and open ports, but its not letting putty connect to it [04:10] serverduck, well, first try "sudo apt-get install wicd" [04:10] void_pointer, ok [04:10] I dumped the contents of a hard disk into a file into another hard disk. For this, I used the dd command. How can I access the data contained in the backup file? [04:11] serverduck, then you'll get a different icon you can click on [04:11] jiohdi that didn't work very well. It came up with error. Many of them. [04:11] Why is it when I VNC from my ubuntu laptop to my ubuntu desktop, whenever I open windows on my laptop remotely into my desktop, nothing comes up on my laptop screen yet they come up on my desktop? Example - I click Places and the menu drops down on my desktop, but not my laptop. I can see everything fine on myd esktop, but laptop never displays anything whatsoever. [04:11] brandon420: you shouldn't need SSH to use VNC. Just install xvnc4viewer on the linux box, and vncserver on the windows one. Get the IP and port right on the connect and it should "just work" [04:11] tm0 it takes some tweaking [04:11] does anyone know why i can't mount my NTFS drives and have the icons show up on my desktop with the names i want instead of "56 gig media" [04:12] Roasted: if you have compiz enabled on the machine you vnc into, it won't update properly [04:12] trism, so if I disable compiz on my desktop, I should be okay? [04:12] Roasted: trism: Compiz does not render xvnc4viewer when the full screen option is selected. [04:12] Roasted: yes [04:12] xorwhy: this is from a ubuntu-ubuntu and i dont have access to the computer its like 6 hours away from me. i know it has vnc on it, and i know the info. it jsut hasnt beem logged into [04:13] trism, well, that sucks, because I need compiz enabled for docky2 to run. [04:13] tm0: there are conky config files around if you google for them, some work, some dont depending on the system [04:13] jiohdi i will have to do that, thank you === paissad_ is now known as paissad [04:13] Hi pappies. Has anyone here installed ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive already containing Windows 7? If so, does grub-2 detect the Windows install? I have read conflicting reports on the 'net. I know that 9.04 detected it and added it to the bootloader entries as I've done it. <--- Answer: grub2 won't find Windows 7 without reinstalling grub on the linux partition. For me anyway. [04:14] tm0 conky was sort of designed for low power older machines with things like openbox and icewm [04:14] jiohdi, so not the gnome we have today then :p [04:14] tm0 that may be why you are getting so many errors [04:14] brandon420: All my experience with VNC has been LAN based, I never could get it to work over the internet. I still don't think you need SSH separately. And some ports are blocked by ISP without notifying the user, so maybe try an oddball one between 1024 and 2048. [04:14] tm0, er, many of us use openbox. Even today :) [04:14] tm0: I used that on a very low power machine [04:15] think Im out of luck then trism? [04:15] jiohdi i see [04:15] My friend told me his FIOS blocked port 25 lol. [04:15] void_pointer i used to use openbox, couldn't stand it... [04:15] well, I use openbox on a quad core based box [04:15] tm0, well it isn't really for noobs, this is true [04:15] tm0, or windows refugees [04:15] what is that progra that shows you everything that starts up with ubuntu? [04:15] i installed wicd now it's working fine [04:15] xorwhy: i scanned the ports, and i know the ones that i have forwarded [04:15] void_pointer, thanks so much [04:16] void_pointer, wicd is better than network manager. so geeky:) [04:16] serverduck excellent. I accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express ;) [04:16] xorwhy:i guess ill keep googleing and checking back here for a guru [04:16] serverduck yeah, I use it too [04:16] brandon420: Your ISP takes dominance over your router when it comes to what ports are usable. [04:16] void_pointer, Ahh sir? do you accept beer?:) [04:16] brandon420: K, good luck. [04:16] void_pointer it wasn't that. It just seemed so... empty. [04:17] and no fios man, they dont give a shit [04:17] serverduck of course! Tell you what, I'll buy myself one tonight and pretend it was from you [04:17] Using Ubuntu, what program can I use to burn an ISO as an image to a flash drive? Keep in mind, I'm not trying to use Ubuntu as a bootable flash drive - I have another ISO I'd like to be able to boot (Ultimate Boot CD). Any ideas? [04:17] tm0, heh, yeah, some of us just want to get stuff done without eye candy. 90% of what I do involves the command line and terminals [04:18] !10.04 [04:18] 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 [04:18] Roasted, www.pendrivelinux.com is a good place to start [04:18] viod_pointer i would love to turn into that one day, but i still rely on the gui far to much still.

[04:20] trism, it was just recommended to me to enable metacity compositing instead, which would allow docky to run and yet compiz would be turned off, therefore maybe solving my issue. Any idea how to enable metacity compositing?

One is how to make a CD autorun and the other is if my script has a mistake or not [04:41] help [04:42] why doesn't conky start every time i login if it was defined at startup applications? [04:43] does anyone know a really good flash design program for linux? I noticed a program called Moho or anime studio but is there a free program anywhere?

[04:43] But I also wanted to know if you think the script (of the URL I put) is correct or if you think there is a mistake, if there is a mistake I would like to fix it please [04:44] zzo38: when people know the answer they will give it... but sometimes we are all just noobs [04:44] serverduck, is you start conky with the same command that was defined in startup applications, does it start up? [04:45] jiohdi: OK. At first I asked at the actual location, I asked those people, but they didn't know, so now I went on IRC to ask these question. I guess I can't get answered...... [04:45] knoppies, if i start from the terminal conky -c path...to config it works [04:45] jiohdi: I agree it's impossible to know all the ins and outs of every program out there. [04:45] knoppies, i defined the exact command plus path in the startup applications but it doesn't start every time:) [04:45] serverduck, I assume its that same command that you put in startup applications. [04:46] hexdump_: especially when some of the manuals look like japanese stereo instructions [04:46] serverduck, if it starts some times, and not others, then idk. [04:46] serverduck, I manually start it every time I login. [04:46] knoppies, it doesn't start...never [04:46] knoppies, only manual it starts in the terminal [04:46] knoppies, after login to the machine. [04:47] jiohdi: Yeah, it's hard to determine what exactly one should be proicient at. [04:47] serverduck, Im not sure. I would try play with the parameters, or maybe settings in startup applications, or look at ubuntu forums for a similar problem. [04:47] knoppies, yes but would be nice to automatically start so no endless typing every restart [04:47] jiohdi: I got my A+ cert years ago before I went to the military now I get out and so much has changed. my cert is useless now.

[04:48] jiohdi: when I got out I didn't even know what SATA was. I had a lot of problems the past few years with addiction and just now finally I'm starting to get things together. [04:49] void_pointer, :)) hehehee..the best and only type of education is the self education! :) === ki4cgp is now known as sinistrad [04:49] hexdump_: I know just enough to be dangerous :) [04:49] serverduck, actually, I came back to IRC because of you highlighting my nick ... did you solve your conky problem? [04:49] void_pointer, not yet:( [04:49] jiohdi: Yeah I think I know enough when in reality there are people out there that make me look dumb. [04:50] void_pointer, sorry ..didn't want to disturb you [04:50] serverduck, there are various ways to get things to run at boot up/ log in. you might have to put the conky line in all of them [04:50] hp [04:50] hufghers [04:50] hngiljg [04:50] hiuhgu [04:50] sena__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:50] hexdump_: I am an expert on crashing systems and re-installing them :) [04:50] serverduck, lol, disturb away. [04:50] lol [04:50] jiohdi: I think I might be better at that than yu. [04:50] hjggrtihj [04:50] ujhgoist [04:50] ohikoshes [04:50] itjhos [04:50] sena__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:50] jojoy [04:50] c'mon with this guy [04:50] sena__, I have a feeling you'll be going bye-bye soon [04:51] void_pointer, well exactly what i type at the terminal to get conky running i typed in the startup applications and it doesn't work. [04:51] hexdump_: I think one of my computers got installed about two dozen times in the last 6 months [04:51] jiohdi, Im almost that bad. [04:51] anyone? :( [04:51] jiohdi: yeah I'm alway trying to install multiple OS. and end up screwing stuff up. I have a triple boot right now going for quad boot [04:52] lol quad boot?:) [04:52] hehehhee [04:52] serverduck, have you tried giving the full path for everything? [04:52] void_pointer, yes gave full path for the conky config [04:52] serverduck: yeah just messin around [04:52] serverduck, and for conky? [04:53] void_pointer, if i type in the terminal coky starts === gustin is now known as meganerd [04:53] void_pointer, oups no...i don't know how to do that. [04:53] void_pointer, and were conky is installed. [04:53] wanted to see if I could actually get it working with grub, grub2. seems something always gets screwed up. luckily everything is working ok "for now" [04:53] serverduck, I can't remember if conky needs root to run, does it? [04:53] hexdump_: I have w7 and ubuntu on another machine with suse in virtual box [04:53] void_pointer, nope..no root neded. [04:54] void_pointer, needed* [04:54] just installed lucid [04:54] void_pointer, where is conky installed [04:54] not able to turn on bluetooth nor get flash working? [04:55] jiohdi: years ago I tried that winlinux. ewwww [04:55] jason_: Lucid support is in #ubuntu+1 [04:55] void_pointer, i could try with the browse option maybe it will start. [04:55] jason_, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [04:55] quadboot? ouch [04:55] void_pointer: conky does not need root to run [04:55] yeah wonder if I could actually get quad boot working. [04:55] #ubuntu+1 [04:56] I think the key is not to install the loader until you have installed your final OS [04:56] serverduck, you could try a bit of a hack and make a script in your home directory that you call with the startup app [04:56] is it just me or does openoffice really seem to struggle with anything semi-decent in size ... [04:56] hexdump_: grub2 seems to be good at detecting a number of installed os's and then taking them into account [04:56] void_pointer, i don't know how to write that script yet... [04:57] jiohdi: well I installed mandriva then ubuntu and it had problems loading mandriva. Installed mandriva then ubuntu and loaded up fine. [04:57] I'm trying to find compiz config and going nuts. [04:57] thundarr: type terminal ccsm [04:57] hexdump_: many distro's dont want to play nice, ubuntu does not mind sharing :) [04:58] serverduck, like, create a file in /home called "conky_start.sh" and put in it: "#!/bin/bash conky -c yourconfig". Then make it executable: "chmod a+x conky_start.sh". then add the script to the startup manager [04:58] joohdi: yeah I really like ubuntu probably one of my favs right now. [04:58] void_pointer, thanks i'll try right now, thanks so much [04:58] hexdump_: I did a restore point for win7 and it screwed up the loader... but then I put another ubuntu on it and it detected the win7 and the other ubuntu and now its fine [04:58] serverduck, only thank when it works ;) [04:58] jiohdi: I'm trying to put Yellow dog on my broken PS3, that is if I can get my old ps3 YLOD(Yellow light of death) fixed. [04:59] well then looks like I sorta figured it out myseld [04:59] ok, i figured something out. if I disconnect and reconnect my VNC session, i can see the desktop refreshing with the programs i'm trying to run [04:59] jiohdi: yeah same thing happened to me. [04:59] *myself [04:59] it booted but is all command line [04:59] jiohdi: I have my old model ps3 in peices. I was lookin on youtube and somebody put their ps3 in the oven! [05:00] I guess the point is to melt the solder joints and try and let them bond back again. [05:00] hexdump_: what, to make a microwave? [05:00] ubottu: ot [05:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:00] serverduck, if you need clarification of those instructions tell me. They were a bit slack [05:00] hexdump_: I suspect that would bake all the chips before it helped [05:01] jiohdi: That's what I thought, but supposedly the guy did it and it fixed it. [05:01] the plastic would melt before the chips "baked" [05:01] jiohdi: sort of like the xbox360 towel trick [05:01] hexdump_: unless he is just trying to see how many will fall for it [05:01] yeah right [05:01] lets take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:01] void_pointer, no it's ok...i done that i hope it will work [05:01] howdy yall [05:01] I've heard of using a hair dryer to melt the solder and let them bond back. The true way to fix it is with a heat gun though. this brit dude on youtube fixed his no problem. [05:02] serverduck, if not I have more hacky ways to start things :) [05:02] void_pointer, i got to eat something, thank you so much [05:02] serverduck, same [05:02] apt-get install lunch [05:02] is there a yahoo messenger client for Ubuntu that has voice chat? browser based is ok too [05:02] void_pointer, i will look and see if it works, if not.. i will tell you later when i get back from work.

[05:24] i mean, some are missing [05:25] tws7: there are several possible reasons for this. Could be configuration changes, hard drive error etc. [05:26] mjec, i see... [05:26] tws7: have you changed any hardware recently? Done an upgrade of software? [05:26] mjec, no [05:27] normal updates... [05:27] mjec, had mounted a portable harddrive... [05:27] shud it cause any issues? [05:27] Anyone else have issues with download speeds? Mine stay at around 1.3-1.5mbps and within 20 seconds drop down to around 100kbps. They just bouce back and forth. [05:27] tws7: maybe, if it uses the same interface as /home. try unplugging and rebooting.

That's good. Now "cat /etc/fstab"... you should see /home in the second column somewhere [05:36] tws7: track that back and see what's in the first column. is that device showing as valid in fdisk? [05:36] lemme check [05:37] hello [05:37] anyone here? [05:37] mjec, what do u mean by valid?

[05:46] enli: may be u can try the GUI approach as mentioned on this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [05:47] i have already configured and job runs fine [05:48] enli: the GUI way is define the DISPLAY variable for running the stuff [05:49] is there a tool to convert a doc file to txt ?

[06:00] pepper_haze ubuntu-offtopic [06:01] shift_wreck, Marginally [06:02] Lostinspace_46, trying to swap some keys with xkeycaps and it doesnt have a keyboard layout that matches my kb [06:02] Lostinspace_46: where ever u ran the svn command a folder by the name of SphinxTrain would have created, and all the files should be there === Guest39176 is now known as Out_Cold_ [06:02] any ideas where i might find one or how to creat one? [06:03] anybody know of any decent epub reader for Ubuntu (not calibre which needs QT) [06:03] aruntomar, Thanks, I'll check that out [06:03] My harddrive has a [06:03] i have installed wubi ubutuntu on my computer and dont know how to access the files that i have on windows vista from wubi ubuntu? is there a way to access the files and programs of mine? i need help with this, i dont have any knowledge about this at all, please help me with this? [06:04] if i wanted to run a script on several remote scripts, I'm wondering if I can use the script to log in via ssh, run the commands, then log out while still doing the scripts. how do i close out without losing the rest of the script? [06:04] shift_wreck, I did all that with xbindkeys-config [06:04] ** remote machines [06:04] Lostinspace_46, ok thanks [06:05] shift_wreck, It doesnt matter the layout [06:05] katesmith, wubi is kind of a mess for installs. is there an otion to mount your windows drive in the places menu? [06:05] *option [06:05] no [06:06] Out_Cold_: either copy the script on the remote machines and run them via ssh [06:06] shift_wreck, You set each key to what you want [06:06] aruntomar, but if i run them from a remote shell and log out, does it not kill the processes that i started? [06:06] Out_Cold_ i cant even find the files at all when i do boot on wubi ubuntu [06:06] i cant find the files to windows vista [06:07] Lostinspace_46, im familiar with xbindkeys. i just would like to do it with xmodmap [06:07] with the netbook remix, how do I get rid of the main menu thing [06:07] i am really dissappointed about this whole thing [06:07] katesmith, possibly because the drive is not mounted. can you open a terminal and run the command: mount [06:07] My harddrive has a sda1 as boot partition, sda2 as swap partition, and sda3 for data. Which partition contains the root file system? [06:08] katesmith, don't let that discourage you. when people try for the first time there are always things that are not expected [06:08] obadiah, df -h will tellyou [06:08] Out_Cold_, i could be wrong, but i don't think you can access the windows side of things from inside of WUBI - it isn't like a regular install [06:08] ZykoticK9, could be right.. [06:08] shift_wreck, xmodemap is fine if you dont want to set a key to launch a prog [06:08] never tried wubi [06:08] obadiah, yeah df -h in a terminal [06:08] katesmith, wubi is not a real install [06:09] wubi is like a try before you 'buy' demo [06:09] rifter and indus, thanks! [06:09] Out_Cold_: Wubi is a real install. [06:10] Flanne: hibernation is not possible inside wubi installation [06:10] how would i be able to get a real install? [06:10] Flanne: (I think) :-) [06:10] Lostinspace_46, i have an existing xmodmaprc that is fairly complex. i just wanted to tweek it more. [06:10] Flannel: hibernation is not possible inside wubi installation [06:10] Flannel: (I think) :-) [06:10] katesmith: Is the wubi install relatively new? [06:10] I have both flash 9 and 10 installed, konqueror uses 9, how do I link so that it uses 10? [06:11] katesmith, the best way in my opinion is a persistent usb or a live cd.. and with a few commands all your files are accessible [06:11] katesmith: (there's a way to do it either way, but if its new, you're better of just installing fresh, if it's not, you can migrate the wubi install) [06:11] Out_Cold_ do you know of where i can go to get the real install of it ? [06:11] shift_wreck, I believe that as well as command line, you can edit the xmodmaprc file [06:13] katesmith, how did you install the wubi? with cd? [06:13] okay how do i get a live cd to do a full install of it ? [06:13] yes with cd [06:13] i downloaded and made a cd [06:13] Lostinspace_46, yep [06:13] Flannel, can you mount drives from inside wubi? like her windows parts? [06:14] katesmith, quite possibly the same cd does a full install... [06:15] noone that can answer my question above? [06:15] katesmith, Out_Cold_ it is possible "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I access the Windows drives?" < don't thing the link will work with the spaces [06:16] aruntomar, Did you mean the folder will be in whatever directory I am in, in the terminal? [06:16] Lostinspace_46: yes [06:16] Lostinspace_46: the list that u see is the list of files that were downloaded to that folder [06:17] there katesmith, read ZykoticK9's link.. [06:17] and no white space ruins the hypertext [06:17] lokpest: konqueror might have the flash installed in it's on directory, most possibly ~/.konqueror/ [06:17] aruntomar, Well...DUH! I was in the sphinxtrain dir. Kinda explains things. Thanks again [06:18] lokpest: how did u install both the flash player versions [06:19] so if i run a process in bg does it stop when i terminate the remote shell? [06:19] does anyone use gnome do? [06:19] aruntomar: dont really know since it was ages ago, but I think 9 was from the repostories and 10 from adobes web [06:20] i need help with gnomedo [06:23] can someone help me? [06:23] lokpest: flash player is basically a .so file, remove it from the konqeror folder [06:23] pinkpanther, could you state for the channel what you are having difficulty with? [06:23] gnomedo [06:24] I dont want it to show open windows [06:24] I just want it to display shortcuts [06:26] what file(s) in /etc configure upstart? [06:26] man, konversation really goes nuts with the default color scheme. heh [06:26] what can i do [06:27] http://buffer0verflow.com/?p=71 === jon is now known as Guest62922 [06:27] i hate all the docks for ubuntu [06:27] aruntomar: right, but I dont find any ~/.konqueror/ so I guessed it be somewhere in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/ but no .so file there [06:28] why wont they do what i want [06:28] if i have a windows open it displays on the task bar naturay so why the hell would I want it on the dock too? [06:28] GRRRRRRRRR [06:29] they need to make rocketdock for ubuntu [06:30] kukoc [06:31] lokpest: use the find or locate command to the find the libflashplayer.so file [06:33] aruntomar: k, one hit in /usr/lib/ and one in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [06:34] pinkpanther: there's already one for E17 [06:34] hey when is the next version of ubuntu coming out? [06:34] thenetduck, 49 days from today [06:35] woot [06:35] thenetduck: always on the 4th and 10th month of every year [06:35] lokpest: remove whatever flash plugins u find, install the new version [06:35] :( [06:35] next one is LTS right? [06:35] !lts [06:35] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [06:35] just 49 days hmm when is beta 1 [06:35] thenetduck: yes [06:36] that's exciting. [06:36] indus: when it's released. [06:36] indus, 7 days from today [06:36] indus 03-18 [06:36] Hi, I'd really appreciate any help to avoid having to reinstall ubuntu. I tried to get a laptop modem to work (conexant) & it was okay for a while but then the sound died. The audio management applet says that there's only a dummy audio device now. I removed the linixant audio driver & I think I put back what used to be there, but it doesn't work. I want to reinstall anything related to audio & related config files. Is t [06:36] rsk, wohoo [06:36] is the date for beta 1 [06:36] who cares, i already have alpha 3 :P [06:37] I found it funny that Kubuntu Hardy wasnt supposed to be LTS but its still supported because Canonical didnt think they could remove all kde apps from the repositories and kubuntu and ubuntu share the same repositories [06:37] hello everyone, i am ready to install ubuntu on its own partition, but vista's disk manager is only offering 72 mb when i attempt to shirnk its allocated space, i have a 100gb hd (WDC WD 1200EVT-75CT20ATA Device) actually, it reports its a 111.79 gb hd but whatever--anyhow what do i need to do? oh, it has 59.3gb of data on it [06:38] so i practise kubuntu hardy is still active and therefore an LTS in practise [06:38] lol [06:38] lokpest: any official ubuntu distribution shares the same repository [06:38] Gnea: know. but Canonical said kubuntu hardy was only going to have normal lifetime and not be LTS [06:39] but... the made asses of themself :D [06:40] yeah so which one was kubuntu LTS? === nollatoleranssi is now known as CactusWiZaRd [06:42] is it just me or evince work way better than adobe reader? It's light/fast and way better on resource consumption. [06:42] lol === ubuntu is now known as ralph [06:42] hello everyone [06:43] hi [06:43] hello [06:43] of cource it works better, its free software [06:43] i would like to start a process from the shell, but would like to close the shell after [06:43] lokpest: what do you mean by free? [06:43] chetnick: free as in freedom [06:43] is there a way to do it? For example, bash process [06:43] lokpest: free software can mean different things. [06:43] anyone mind aiding in getting my wireless to work, the card is showing up in ifconfig, it's an unsecured network and i can't get on, it works on my other machine [06:43] Zenker: are you doing the re partitioning from the install process of ubuntu or in Vista? [06:44] !freedom | chetnick [06:44] chetnick: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [06:44] spartan07: vista's disk manager [06:44] chetnick: not really in this comunity, here its referded to freedom, no price [06:44] not* [06:45] awan [06:45] query: i'm partitioning my hard-drive, do i really need to have a swap-file? i have 4gigs ram, seems redundant [06:46] best thing to do is run defrag to lump together your windows data towards the beginning of the drive and then do the partition of linux during the install when you run the installer [06:47] lokpest: I know what does it mean, i just didn't know we were on the same page, because i had experience in the past where people are referring to "free" as "free of charge". [06:47] Zenker: after you run the installer and fire up vista it will go through a check because the drive size was changed no big deal let it do it and your good [06:47] chetnick: in here? depressing [06:48] i have trouble to install wifi on dell inspiron 1410, there any one can help me? [06:48] oh yeah, i should have done a defrag *smacking my forehead*, btw do you play combat arms? [06:48] Zenker: When you install Ubuntu, the installer will default to sharing your drive with vista and add M$ to your grub menu [06:48] Geez, why google why, anyone happen to have a google voice invite, I dont know why they have to do this invite system again like when google first came out [06:49] My ubuntu bind9 package is broken anyone give me some ideas on fixing it? [06:49] query: i'm partitioning my hard-drive, do i really need to have a swap-file? i have 4gigs ram, seems redundant [06:49] where can i read up on that? [06:49] ralph: you mean swap partition? [06:50] yes :P [06:50] bind9 anyone? [06:50] tinydns ;> [06:50] * lokpest binds MrSiebel1 [06:50] :P [06:50] nvm i can find it, i should have read up on it in the 1st place :0! [06:50] try ubuntu forums [06:50] ralph: you must have swap, but in your case you dont have to make it 4x2, 4GB would be sufficient. [06:50] when i did a simple install of ubuntu it set my swap partition at 12gigs, seemed like a huge waste [06:50] i can see the ssid on my machine, it tries to connect but will not, i have 2 other devices that can connect fine to my network [06:50] My bind9 package is broken any ideas? [06:50] MrSiebel1: are you sure it's broken? [06:51] but 4 real, do you play combat arms? sparton07? [06:51] Every time I load synaptic or do apt-get update it says bind9 package broken [06:51] thanks Chetnick! [06:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [06:51] Yup its broken [06:51] ralph: you dont need 12GB.... 4GB is enough. [06:51] Hello. Just a quick question. If I have a CD with xubuntu, and try to install using Wubi from Windows, will Wubi use the data in the CD for the installation, or it needs to get something from the Internet? [06:51] thanks :) [06:52] Zenker: no heard things about it though [06:52] oh another question if you don't mind. swap partition needs to be placed at the end of the drive correct? [06:52] and OS at the front? [06:52] i was askin because there a player wit the same name, guess its just a coinsidance [06:52] anyhow thatnk you === bigbrovar_ is now known as bigbrovar [06:53] Zenker: CD4, HALO3, Fallout3, [06:53] Zenker: NP [06:54] I updated my system via dist-upgrade... stoopid me it broke my bind9 package [06:54] ralph: you can put it on the beginning or at the end. [06:54] MrSiebel1: you won't get much help till you explain what you mean by "broken".... [06:55] ralph: or in the middle, really doesn't matter with modern distros... [06:55] ralph: there might be some performance difference. [06:55] how to know the event ID [06:55] hmm, ok [06:55] say for mouse [06:55] what is the event id [06:55] I need to set this [06:55] Option "Device" "/dev/input/event10" [06:56] anyone mind helping with my wireless issue? I can see the SSID and try to connect but it wont === kris__ is now known as bleck [06:57] does tail -f /var/log/syslog say anything about any problems while connecting to your network? [06:57] anyone here from australia that could run a test for me? [06:58] preposteruss: Desktop or laptop? [06:59] laptop [06:59] old 2wire card in it [07:00] i see association request to the driver failed [07:00] I have a terribly newbish, stupid question: Does Ubuntu have anything like a force-quit keyboard command, like control-alt-delete in Windows? [07:00] it worked out of the box on previous ubuntu versions though [07:01] SpringHerself, alt+sysrq+k will restart Xorg [07:01] SpringHerself: for an app or X? [07:01] SpringHerself: not stupid at all, http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/magic-sysrq-key.html [07:01] SpringHerself, sorry disregard my message (don't try it!) [07:01] spartan07: so i need to load the modules for my card right? [07:02] I'm not sure, but websites sometimes cause my computer to freeze up, trying to see if there's something I can do to so I don't have to reboot. [07:02] SpringHerself: for an app you can add an icon to the panel to force quit an app [07:02] hello [07:02] i'm trying to boot to a USB via GRUB and i'm almost there but i'm still running into some errors [07:02] anyone thing they could help? [07:02] SpringHerself, probably flash [07:02] do you known what modules where loaded for that card on previous versions of ubuntu? [07:02] Huh, okay. Also, thanks Losha, that looks helpful [07:03] SpringHerself, or probably a bad website [07:03] preposteruss: yes. whats the make of the card and your laptop? [07:03] SpringHerself: From the command prompt, you can type, "xkill" then click the app you want killed. [07:03] ah, fuck it, why sjould I even use flash, I could watch youtube with mplayer-plugin instead [07:03] SpringHerself: the whole computer freezes, or just the browser? [07:04] the card is a pcmcia card, the laptop is a old sony vaio pcg-gr370 [07:04] !language > lokpest [07:04] lokpest, please see my private message [07:04] Whole computer. [07:04] lokpest, if you install chromium or chrome you can go to youtube.com/html5 and use HTML5 video instead of flash - doesn't work on all videos [07:04] the device shows in iwconfig and ifconfig, i think the wrong modules are loaded [07:05] SpringHerself: to be honest, that's usually a hardware issue. Check your ram (run memtest overnight)... [07:05] run lsmod | grep orinoco and print the output here [07:05] I'm running this on a netbook, so it's easily possible. :p Thank you for all your advice, this should help. [07:05] ZykoticK9: requires propritary h.264 codec so no thanks [07:06] flash is proprietary too o_O So you'd be using proprietary stuff anyways [07:06] lokpest, is flash opensource? i don't think so... [07:06] also, at youtube you'd end up watching H.264 anyways [07:06] :3 [07:07] e04mk:was that directed to me? [07:07] (and not like VP6* was any better on the licensing side) [07:07] ZykoticK9: nope, but I wanted to change, then it doesnt make sense to change from one non-free thing to anothre [07:08] JEEBsv: that is what I am critizing, why cant google use theora... [07:08] lokpest: Well, you _do_ know the compression difference, right? [07:08] so that firefox user can watch without having to pay [07:08] i lost the ability to drag and drop, whether moving things folder to folder, folder to desktop, drag and drop from archive, I can't even move things around on my desktop.... can anyone help me out. It makes no sense [07:09] JEEBsv: http://people.xiph.org/~greg/video/ytcompare/comparison.html [07:09] @preposteruss yep, it was [07:09] rahduke, are you running inside a virtual machine? [07:09] ZykoticK9: no sir [07:09] ok im on another machine [07:09] JEEBsv: the difference in quality is not that big [07:09] it came back with some things [07:09] ZykoticK9: its actually my buddy, im talking to him on skype [07:10] rahduke, no idea then - i have that problem in VBox with 3D turned on for Lucid guests. best of luck man. [07:10] lokpest: it is. Also, theora is much slower at encoding than, say, x264. But don't misunderstand me, I'm _not_ against a free standard to be in HTML5 :P [07:10] That comparison has been abused way too much [07:10] i see orinoco_cs,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nostatic at the end [07:10] non_static [07:11] there's more [07:11] JEEBsv: I dont think the problem is as much the standard as the webmasters that host content [07:12] at least it's good it's not using ndiswrapper [07:12] yeah you don't have to with this card [07:12] lokpest: at least you don't believe that Theora > H.264's good usage cases :) [07:13] I think you had to in hardy and earlier, but I'm not shure.. =) [07:13] Yo yo yo [07:13] yes hello [07:14] e04mk: it worked out of the box before with ubuntu [07:14] and it half works now [07:14] i can see the network, just cant connect [07:15] hi guys [07:15] I need to install gcc-3.3 in ubuntu karmic [07:15] Preposteruss: if you boot to the older releases you can compare configs [07:15] what are my options? [07:15] lokpest: also, as a final comment -- Youtube was actually using x264 from circa 2005-2006 at that time ;) [07:15] I know that is a really old version of gcc, but nothing good has come up from a google search [07:15] !info gcc [07:15] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.82ubuntu2)): The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB [07:16] ActionParsnip: i just dug this comp out of the closet and put a new hd in it, i don't have the older releases [07:16] anybody here know how i could extract a DVD (that's been burned as an iso)? [07:16] just copy/paste? [07:16] ActionParsnip: are you saying that it's best to compile gcc-3.3 from code? [07:16] i want to edit a file on it, and then reburn it as an iso [07:16] Floppyears; you may find a deb with the older version. Surely they are backward compatible? [07:16] When I try to scan a document, I am offered two things ; first of all I'm offered a USB camera with v4l and also my scanner. How can I tell xsane to just look for my scanner? [07:17] Floppyears: you could compile, ot maybe find a ppa. Its gonna take effort though [07:17] JEEBsv: well, google could do this: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/google-free-on2-vp8-for-youtube/ [07:18] should i just ndiswrapper it [07:18] networking question on 9.10. I've noticed that my network (wireless) isn't enabled until I log in under GNOME (or KDE). I want networking enabled when I login under an alternative environment. Any way to get it to just be up from boot regardless of the desktop environment? [07:18] floppyears: why gcc-3.3 ? [07:18] mjsor, change the runlevel [07:18] mjsor, add a network startup script to /etc/init.d [07:18] Preposteruss: bah. If you run: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product line. You could try using wicd instead. Use a different connection if you can to get fully updated [07:19] lokpest: granted -- that would be better than Theora, and probably better than MPEG-4 ASP even. But it still IIRC was not in a very much working state at the moment of the deal IIRC. They didn't even release a version for testing :3 Also, I have a good article that has all kinds of things about digital video on the 'web [07:19] lokpest: http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=292 [07:19] :3 [07:20] Oh, I have another silly question: How do you tell what directory a file is in? (Does that just mean the set of folders it's in?) [07:20] SpringHerself, directory and folder mean the same thing [07:21] Oh, phew. Thanks. [07:22] Hey! - Is it possible to move a Ubuntu/Linux installation from a virtualbox environement and use that on a physical computer later on? Im guessing it suffers far less than a windows installation with all it's...things dependant on hardware setup. [07:23] proprietary software should be baned [07:23] Possible or impossible? Feasible or not? [07:23] viliny: not without a lot of tears. I'd ask in #vbox [07:23] !ot | lokpest [07:23] lokpest: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:23] Thanks ActionParsnip [07:24] Viliny: use the clone factoid to clone the packages [07:24] is someone here using ubuntu 9.10? [07:24] Clone factoid? a tool ment to reproduce stuff or? [07:24] Viliny: you can backup your home folder and use that once a proper install has taken place [07:24] jenia: most likely [07:24] !clone [07:24] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [07:25] i just installed virtualbox from the website but i cannot find it in my applications list [07:25] when you click on netwrok/connect to hidden wireless networks/ and then you choose an already existing network [07:25] Ah nice ActionParsnip - will have to have a look at that.

[07:48] lol [07:48] ralph: but due to the limitation to 4 primary-partitions, you should prefer using logical-drives for all [07:48] my browser do not work again [07:50] thanks llutz for the response [07:50] i assume though that the OS partition should be primary type though right? [07:50] ralph: no, works with logical too [07:50] lol other internet connections are down but irc connection still works [07:50] :))) [07:51] perhaps i've misunderstood the difference then [07:51] so really they should all be logical? [07:51] ralph: linux doesn't need primary partitions at all [07:51] what's a primary type partition then? [07:51] i see [07:51] (except that one extended holding the logical drive of course) [07:52] ok, thanks llutz! [07:52] <_KAMI_> Hi! [07:52] <_KAMI_> Let me know how to set back the window controls to their original place [07:53] if i wanted to put a new HDD in my computer and ghost the HDD that holds my OS can i do that? [07:54] rahduke: only linux? then better clone it using rsync/cp or tar [07:55] llutz: what do you mean? i want to create an exact copy of my linux OS partition bootloader and all on another HDD [07:56] rahduke: to copy linux-installations it is better to use rsync/tar or cp than ghost/dd/whatever [07:56] what is alacarte? [07:57] viliny, menu editor [07:57] oh im sorry, had the chat scrolled way up, no longer relevant to current discussion :) Thanks ZykoticK9 [07:58] hi [07:58] part/[ [07:59] how do I get my computer to shutdown if the power switch is pressed? [08:00] it will shutdown in 1 minute by default [08:01] and if you wans something to change use power manager [08:01] system-> settings [08:01] hi.. i have a software called pwsafe installed on hardy.. could you please let me know how to open it ? its under /usr/bin/pwsafe [08:01] and the file type is LSB executable [08:01] any suggestions how i need to open ? [08:05] mealstrom: at the moment I don't even get the popup. In power manager, at least by vnc, there is no option to shut down when the button is pressed: only suspend and hibernate. [08:07] rioch: i'm not very good in linux but if you want to shutdown the computer may be you can try by typing init0 in terminal that's all i know [08:07] rioch, try alt-sysrq-b [08:07] AH .. I have a serious problem. I have 2 interfaces, eth1 and eth2 that I want to serve DHCP addresses out of, different subnets. Can't I run 2 DHCP servers at once, like dnsmasq and udhcpd ?? [08:07] phani: I'm running a headless server, which I want to shutdown just by pressing the power button. It has no keyboard/mouse/monitor :) [08:08] oh! ok may be i missed that part [08:11] rioch, why not suspend or hibernate it instead ? [08:12] airtonix: if I cannot login and need to restart, it offers a simpler option than plugging in a keyboard/monitor/mouse [08:12] rioch, via ssh i mean [08:13] rioch, regadless your solution is to create a dbus script that listens for the hardware switch event and simply shuts the machine down [08:13] airtonix: the server is being used to stream music, so my girlfriend also needs to be able to shut it down. If I tell her she needs to ssh into it and tell it to shutdown, she will probably dump me [08:13] rioch: acpi-support should react on pwrbtn [08:13] llutz: yes. there is an event for it. nothing seems to happen though. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:15] rioch, this will give you an idea of how to suspend/hibernate the machine via dbus... i think there is similar dbus interfaces to manipulate the power on/off : http://paste.ubuntu.com/393873/ [08:16] thanks. strange I have to do this myself. Don't you find it strange that this isn't an option somewhere? [08:16] rioch, what you should do in the mean time is check if : running "dbus-monitor --system" via ssh shows any output when you press the power button on the server [08:17] howdy [08:17] rioch, my suspcion is that if you don't have that option in the gui then something about your hardware is either not supported or you have missing hal packages ... who knows [08:17] An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

[09:28] I though that is what /boot was for.. thats never mentioned in the install guide [09:28] And isnt GPT what.. OS X uses? [09:30] how do i check duplex and speed settings for my NIC? [09:31] zamba: sudo ethtool ethX [09:31] does anyone run Dreamweaver CS4 on Ubuntu 9.04? [09:31] llutz: thanks [09:31] zamba: you may to to use mii-tool, depending on the NIC you have [09:32] meganerd: ethtool worked wonders [09:32] zamba: great [09:32] zamba: it is what I reach for first, sometimes it is unable to read the card, so mii-tool is a good alternative [09:32] anyone uses Ogre3d in Ubuntu? [09:32] llutz: I'm having some problems understanding iptables fully... are you able to help? [09:33] richfearlss, check the appdb, help in #winehq [09:33] dabukalam_: my iptables-knowledge is very limited too [09:33] !appdb | richfearlss [09:33] dabukalam_: ask your question [09:33] richfearlss: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [09:33] !appdb [09:33] ZykoticK9: great!! thx!! :beer: [09:33] p1gmale0n, :) [09:33] anyone uses Ogre3d in Ubuntu? [09:34] anybody there who can help me please........ [09:34] zamba: I'm trying to disallow a particular service access to the internet, but I can only seem to find ways to disallow access to users or IPs... Maybe disallowing access to the group the service runs itself on? [09:34] dabukalam_: do you know what port it tries to communicate over? [09:34] !ask | Jayant [09:34] guyz what's the Gconf [09:34] Strange. [09:34] Jayant: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:34] dabukalam_: what service? [09:35] Network manager detected two ethernet interfaces yet I have only one ethernet hole. Any ideas? [09:35] zamba: yeah, I think I do, let me double-check [09:35] llutz: transmission [09:35] ubbotu: ok sorry [09:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296070 pokoko222 [09:35] awsten32: gconf is like the windows registry.. kind of [09:35] Aha [09:36] awsten32: you can run "gconf-editor" in a terminal to see what's in there.. but don't change things unless you know what you're doing [09:36] awsten32: You can edit it using "gconf-editor" [09:36] dabukalam_: why should it keep running without inet-access? [09:36] theadmin: what does "ip addr" show? [09:36] Is the Gconf= Configuration Editor [09:36] awsten32: could be.. you'll have to ask whoever said "Configuration Editor" [09:36] meganerd: http://pastebin.com/Eym39G7L [09:37] bazhang: i tried that software, but my sys doesnt support booting from pen drive. Is there any other way to boot it ?? [09:37] Ok [09:37] theadmin: the second NIC icon is probably the PPP interface [09:38] llutz: It's running on ubuntu server, and it has a web interface. Although transmission allows you to specify certain scheduled times at which to download, it still connects to peers during the off times, which is killing my network. I don't want to diable the service because during the day I want people to be able to log in and change settings, but it shouldn't see the net unti li tell it to. [09:38] meganerd: I dunno, networkmanager applet displays "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet" [09:38] zamba: I think it's using 51413 [09:38] dabukalam_: ah ok [09:39] theadmin: I don't suppose you are using a PPPoE ISP? [09:39] meganerd: I'm using a PPTP-VPN ISP [09:39] meganerd: %) [09:39] Okay, so.. You cant have /boot inside a RAID if your disk is over 2tb [09:39] guyz in the above panel there's applic... places sys,,, how if i wanna to change it !???

[09:40] theadmin: well ppp0 is showing as an interface, and likely that is what network manager is detecting as the second NIC [09:40] meganerd: What's NIC anyway? [09:40] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:40] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:41] meganerd: And that ppp0 only ever shows up when a VPN connection is running, so that's not it [09:41] karcoxsd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:41] theadmin: network interface card... kind of a misnomer [09:41] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:41] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:41] theadmin: so it goes away after you close the VPN? [09:41] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:41] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:41] karcoxsd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:41] http://www.gesichtskirmes.net/watch/1774-treppen-mit-style-steigen/76/ [09:41] !kick [09:41] meganerd: Well, if i disconnect the VPN it no longer is in ifconfig or ip addr output [09:41] theadmin: you got me. I don't usually use the network manager very often [09:41] exciting day [09:41] hello beta 1 [09:42] theadmin: it is supposed to since that interface does not exist anymore [09:42] bazhang ah? there is no install manual dude [09:42] theadmin: as to how NW deals with it, I have no idea. Which version of Ubuntu? [09:42] meganerd: Karmic. [09:43] what's Karmic mean?? [09:43] !karmic | awsten32 [09:43] awsten32: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [09:43] meganerd: Whatever, deleting the "Auto Ethernet" solved it :D But it was really akward [09:43] theadmin: 9.10 was the first time I actually did not blow NW away. It still causes me pain sometimes [09:43] Hm, it looks like they were the same connections :/ Settings are identical for both [09:43] Weird [09:44] Ubuntu 9.10 = Karmic Right??????? [09:44] theadmin: NM seems to get duplicates very easily, of wired and wifi connections [09:44] awsten32: Yeah [09:44] meganerd: I see... Hope they fix it soon [09:44] theadmin: most of the time /etc/network/interfaces does what I want/need it to do [09:44] lol i use Karmic :P === traveller_ is now known as traveller [09:45] theadmin: I have the lucid beta, and so far it still happens there as well [09:45] meganerd, lucid alpha you mean :p [09:45] meganerd: I won't be configuring that stuff manually because of the dynamic IP which NM nicely resolves [09:45] is there an IDE for GCC in ubuntu? [09:45] ZykoticK9: yes, on my old laptop [09:45] pokoko222: Err, GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection [09:46] theadmin: the interfaces file handles dynamic well, it has for years. Use whatever suits you though [09:46] theadmin well it has c, c++ and other stuff, microsoft visual studio is IDE, there is nothing similar in ubuntu? [09:46] does anyone know why does ubuntu Boot CD helper gave an error "Permission Denied" when creating a boot menu for installation ?? [09:46] pokoko222: Try netbeans (more info: www.netbeans.org ) [09:46] pokoko222: there are a lot of IDEs, Eclipse, Kdevelope, monodevelope, and more [09:46] netbeans crashes on ubuntu [09:47] pokoko222: it depends on personal preferences and the language(s) you use [09:47] Jayant: Did you check the disk for errors? [09:47] Jayant, you really should also mention that you're using WUBI, gives people more information to work with [09:47] meganerd well i need c++ and Ogre3d [09:47] oh [09:48] pokoko222: no idea what ogre is. I use kdevelope and eclipse for C, idle for python, vim for quick edits of everything. [09:49] Jayant: Is this the lates version of ubuntu? (Karmic 9.10) [09:49] vl; [09:49] *t [09:49] pokoko222: gcc is the C compiler, g++ is the C++ compiler. === almighurt is now known as migerh [09:49] dabukalam_ yes [09:50] hi, I installed a new bootsplash theme. it's working well when loading a kernel. but the background picture of GRUB doesn't change at kernel selection stage. how to change it? thanks.

[09:51] I have a big error [09:51] pls help [09:51] Jayant: When you say "boot menu for installation" what do you mean? You mean at the end of the installation when it's installing GRUB (the boot manager)? [09:51] ? [09:51] geeker: Are you using 9.10? [09:51] mamous: I think you want pastebin.com [09:51] i dnt know [09:51] how to check that [09:51] geeker: lsb_release --short --codename [09:51] lsb_release [09:52] dabukalam: NO, when i run the CD from windows and select the first option(Demo and full installation), then in the new menu, the third option(help me boot from CD). Its used because i cannot boot from CD. [09:52] geeker: Put that into a terminal. [09:52] geeker: Then tell me what it will give [09:52] what that means... [09:52] it says karmix [09:52] i mean karmic [09:52] geeker: That's 9.10 [09:53] geeker: Wait a sec. [09:53] aw [09:53] zamba: you still here? [09:53] Do this (in a terminal): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-gdm2setup [09:53] k k ' [09:53] am here [09:54] lol love Linux... just give someone a long and weird command and everything is solved. Ahem, sorry for ot [09:54] theadmin, u dere [09:55] theadmin: ot? [09:55] geeker: Do this (in a terminal): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-gdm2setup [09:55] dabukalam_: Offtopic, that is [09:55] theadmin could have just done it the point and click way [09:55] the command is just faster [09:55] theadmin: ah :D [09:55] theadmin: whats that, can u explain that to me.. [09:55] geeker: Then you will be able to configure the log-in screen trough System - Admininstration - Login Window (GDM2SETUP) [09:56] geeker: That installs the login screen configuration utility [09:56] hey. i have an ateck eagle eye web cam. it is detected by ubuntu but cheese or other applications cant open it [09:56] rsk: Yeah, it always is this way, besides the command is not language-dependent [09:58] any solution? [09:59] would it be a better idea to do graphics on windows and not ubuntu? [09:59] pokoko222 do what's best [09:59] pokoko222: Dunno, Ubuntu is powerful enough for that, imho. [09:59] pls i cant seem to resume my karmic desktop from sleep, i have to power shutdown and restart again... i feel this is not right and may damage the system, wht can i try? [09:59] rsk wtf if i knew best i would not ask u... [10:00] rsk: LOL [10:00] ddavids: Never do hard shutdown. Hold Ctrl+SysRQ and type reisub if system is frozen [10:00] pokoko222: what do you mean by graphics, you're talking about image editing etc.? [10:00] ddavids: That's a. b, are you sure your swap partition is in order? [10:00] dabukalam_ 3d software and games [10:01] theadmin: what is Sys RQ? [10:01] ddavids: If you don't have this key, then Ctrl+Right Alt+PrtSc and reisub [10:01] ddavids: Dunno if it's still present on any keyboards lol [10:01] ddavids: Alt + SysRq + q [10:01] pokoko222 then you have to try [10:01] dabukalam_: It's really down to personal preference. You should try out the different software available for both windows and linux, and see which one you feel most comfortable with [10:01] erUSUL: q? [10:01] pokoko222: It's really down to personal preference. You should try out the different software available for both windows and linux, and see which one you feel most comfortable with [10:01] pokoko222 what's best for me is probably not best for you [10:01] !sysrq [10:01] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [10:02] pokoko222 asking what's best dosen't give a good answear [10:02] rsk u sound like Budha [10:02] theadmin: it seems to be R, E, I, S, U and B [10:02] theadmin: not only Q [10:02] pokoko222 sure i will shut it from here then [10:02] erUSUL: Err, you just said "q" yourself, quote: (01:01:30 PM) erUSUL: ddavids: Alt + SysRq + q [10:02] theadmin: sorry [10:02] hey. i have an ateck eagle eye web cam. it is detected by ubuntu but cheese or other applications cant open it. any solution? :D [10:03] theadmin: -ENOTENOGHCOFFEE [10:03] erUSUL: o_O wha... Anyway, only combos really to know about imo are REISUB and K [10:04] notenoughcoffee? [10:04] Jayant: you there? [10:04] i got a problem with ubuntu software centre anyone can help me? [10:04] colary: What is the problem? [10:05] Package dependencies cannot be resolved [10:05] is the error [10:05] pokoko222: As for games, there's no question that for playing mainstream releases you're better off with windows, although if it's only a couple and they both work well on wine, it might not be worth installing windows to play them [10:05] This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same [10:05] is the whole [10:05] colary: You are trying to install something which conflicts with something else [10:05] can u help me with it? [10:05] means? [10:06] i just wanna install few games [10:07] what to do? [10:07] my grub1 is broken. I tried to recover it from live cd but got errors (floating point exception). Since that are grub1 errors I want to install grub2. [10:07] any help? [10:07] crysetup and luks uses which startup scripts,want to add a script after them anyone ? [10:07] :-/ [10:08] But I cannot install grub-pc from live-cd (no network in chroot). Any ideas ? [10:08] :) [10:10] hey guys, is there a limit to how many virtual ips i can add in ubuntu? [10:10] Any advanced GNU screen users here? I want to know if I can make screen show the name of the window I am currently on (name and number preferably) [10:10] harisund: I should use byobu [10:11] that are some nice screen profiles which do what you want [10:11] hey [10:11] i just did something now it running fine [10:11] no [10:12] Wazzzaaa: is byobu different than screen? I have a current screen session I am running IRSSI and other things on, can I use byobu to enhance that? [10:12] theadmin: can u read me... [10:12] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-gdm2setup [10:13] Wazzzaaa: I can't loose my current screen session .. if not, I will have to do it the next time I reboot or screen crashes or something [10:13] can u explain the same to me..how does that command work.. [10:13] geeker: That goes to a terminal, not to the channel :/ [10:13] harisund: it IS screen, but it has some profiles [10:13] ok [10:13] harisund: byobu is screen + plugins and themes [10:13] I think you have to restart screen for it. But just check it out [10:13] ouch .. ok will do [10:13] geeker: apt-get is a package manager. "sudo" means "run as admin". "add-apt-repository" adds a repo to your software sources. [10:14] is it possible to include every headers from the same folder in one line ? [10:14] geeker: don't worry about it. Just google for everything - most stuff has a detailed command by command guide [10:14] melchior_: C ? [10:14] yes [10:14] when you have enough copy-pasting behind you it kinda sticks to you and you start writing long-ass-stuff from memory :) [10:14] theadmin: it says it failed to download the stuff u told me.. [10:15] i think there is some error.. [10:15] ah sorry i thought i was on C channel [10:15] geeker: Weird, guess something wrong with the mirrors... :/ Try it again later [10:16] theadmin: works for me though. [10:16] okay.. [10:16] my ubuntu do fsck at every boot, how do i change fsck frequency ? my file system is ext4 [10:17] theadmin: googling is okay.. [10:17] but some time its hard to get all the things, can u tell me any specific site from where i can learn things, coz i am just a newbie [10:17] leohartx: AFAIK it checks every 30 mounts... Anyway, you need to edit /etc/fstab for this [10:18] theadmin : how ? [10:18] leohartx: Actually, i don't remember how exactly... [10:18] theadmin, need a lil more help.. can u tell me how to repair grub.. if it gets broken.. [10:18] Latest intel driver has hosed the xrandr on my EeePC. I can no-longer connect an external VGA monitor. Is this a known bug or am I billy-no-mates? [10:19] geeker: Try "sudo update-grub" [10:19] theadmin : oh, that's a bad news :( [10:19] my ubuntu do fsck at every boot, how do i change fsck frequency ? my file system is ext4 [10:20] i have no idea what fsck is :P [10:20] no not that one.. [10:20] i'm new to ubuntu myself [10:20] leohartx: see tunefs man page; but anyway if it does it at every boot something else is going on [10:21] Hoi people do you speack russian [10:21] leohartx: try to pass a fsck to the afected parition from a livecd and see what is repairing; if anything [10:21] !ru [10:21] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:21] erUSUL : all partitions checked by fsck are clean [10:22] erUSUL : and tunefs doesnt work with ext4 :( [10:22] i just got ubuntu and a friend of mine said that it's supposed to come with other desktops besides Gnome but mine didn't (or it's not enabled) [10:22] erUSUL no body ru [10:22] anyone have any info on that? I heard it was supposed to come with KDE and Fluxxbox or something [10:22] oh my God who was it that suggested byobu [10:22] ralph_: ubuntu has gnome, kubuntu has kde [10:22] <_ruben_> ralph_: those arent installed by default [10:23] THANK YOU !! it's pretty awesome [10:23] leohartx: it has to work with ext4 .... [10:23] erUSUL: Wazzzaaa : thanks man .. [10:23] ralph_ you can install any desktop you want and switch wich one you want to use at the login screen [10:23] ralph_ ubuntu has dussins in the packages [10:23] Wazzzaaa: I wanted screen to do two things, auto launch on login and show window names on the bottom .. I have setup byobu to do both :) [10:23] i see, well i went to the kde website and i didn't see a 'download' section [10:24] erUSUL : tunefs: command not found <--- this is what i've received :( [10:24] harisund: yeah! I love byobu [10:24] ralph_ use sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [10:24] erUSUL : i'll try to modify fstab, i've just read the man page [10:24] rsk: That'd be kubuntu-desktop [10:24] ralph_ also it's on the frontpage of kde.org http://www.kde.org/download/ [10:24] lol, thanks. guess i need to read more :P [10:24] leohartx: is tune2fs ican make typos ;) [10:25] Quick question, does Kubuntu and Xubuntu work better than Ubuntu with apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop? it felt a bit disconnected. [10:26] Wazzzaaa: man, byobu / irssi / bitlbee make for a terrific combo [10:27] erUSUL : ty for information, i'll check it out [10:27] viliny: They just take a lot of space, especially KDE, but work quite the same as the CD releases [10:28] ahh pidgin here for all protocols cept skype (64 bit skype4pidgin crashes when i have 2 skype accounts active :-( ) [10:28] irssi++ [10:28] viliny: xubuntu use upstart .. in ubuntu initrd by default ... [10:29] p1gmale0n: Wrong, Ubuntu uses Upstart as well [10:29] theadmin: realy?? how long?? [10:29] wow lucid in april has it been 6 months already? [10:30] basicly i had everything quite effed up at the end. Booting up with a xubuntu splash screen and then logging into either gdm or kde... started to feel a wee bit broken. Just wondering if the actual releases would feel more polished than my cross-wm asshattery. [10:30] p1gmale0n: It's an Ubuntu project :/ [10:30] p1gmale0n: upstart.ubuntu.com [10:30] theadmin: i now [10:31] theadmin: but 8.10 use initrd [10:31] and yes the actual releases tend to be a bit more consistent feeling than switching environments [10:31] p1gmale0n: Interpid? Interpid... yeah, it does. Remember those good old day [10:31] s [10:31] takes a little fiddling to get it to feel native if it wasn't [10:31] harisund: bitlbee looks nice, thnx :P [10:31] how can I set my ip/hostname to something like cheat@crackguy.net where it appears in my /whois result, like shell accounts provides vhosts? [10:32] theadmin: old days? i'm still on 8.04 ;) [10:32] Sh3r1ff: :D [10:32] actually one of mine friends machine got sucked of grub, [10:32] lts++ [10:32] theadmin: i'm not reinstalling system .. i'm just update.. =) [10:32] theadmin: and it cant load the linux now.. so how it can be repaired... [10:32] crackguy: i guess you have to own the crackguy.net domain for that [10:33] viliny, i do! [10:33] and 8.03 is LTS .. i'm use 8.04 on all my server stations [10:33] alright, then i think you have to make the machine that you use irc from to somehow assume that [10:33] really hazy for me how it works actually, someone with expertise please explain! [10:33] viliny, good thought.. [10:33] theadmin, [10:33] geeker: You'll have to reinstall GRUB. To do so, you need an Ubuntu live CD [10:34] okay.. [10:34] clear [10:34] u mean i need to reinstall the whole OS.. [10:34] is that so?? [10:34] no [10:34] crackguy: a dns resolve to crackguy.net should point to that machine [10:34] geeker: After you boot from it, just do "grub-install /dev/sda" (replace /dev/sda with the hard drive you install to) [10:34] just the bootloader [10:35] Sh3r1ff, i can do that, but is there anything that machine needs to know? [10:35] theadmin: one sec... can u tell me a lil about that thing /dev/sda or /dev/hda??? i mean what are they.. [10:35] Hello. I'm runnning a vncserver session on a headless ubuntu server. Is there any way I can provide a virtual OpenGL interface to programs running in that session? [10:35] karmic is so bad in network, internet disconnect and blinking screen , so that i am not upgrading my system from interpid [10:35] geeker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB [10:35] crackguy: not really, just make sure /etc/resolv.conf is correct [10:36] geeker: anything in the /dev/ directory will be a device (hard disk, audio, mouse keyboard anything) [10:36] theadmin: hmmm...let me see... hey i have another query... if i need to see all my information about my h/w.. hw can i do that [10:36] Sh3r1ff, wouldn't i need to setup a dns server on the machine [10:36] geeker: sudo lshw should give you the most of it [10:37] hi [10:37] wtf, i try to create a folder with a cyrillic name and nautilus crashes :/ [10:37] hi visik7 [10:37] anyone knows about java applets and X.org ? I have an applet that crash my X.org [10:37] geeker, you might also be interested in the output of "lspci -vnvn" [10:37] you have cyrillic font installed theadmin [10:37] Emanon: Yep, proof -> ЫЫЫЫ [10:38] theadmin: ok.. isn't their a command like inxi or ixni some thing like so.. [10:38] and apparently so do i hehe [10:38] geeker: Never heard [10:38] learn something new every time hehe [10:38] ZykoticK9: what that is all about.. pls explain.. [10:38] Wazzzaaa: I need to hang out more on IRC to learn such cool apps like byobu/ bitlbee whatever [10:38] crackguy: not really, when you register a domain, you have to specify a dns server (most likely 2), and those dns servers should have cracjkguiy.net in their config [10:38] geeker, it will show you detailed info on some of your hardware [10:38] has anyone know anything about using g105m nvidia card on UBUNTU [10:38] :) [10:39] crackguy: depends if you administrate the dns servers or not [10:39] I just installed grub2 and when selecting UBuntu I get: error: You need to load the kernel first [10:39] Any ideas? [10:39] Sh3r1ff, so you are suggesting, i change my dns server settings of my domain crackguy.net to my internet ip address? [10:39] Wazzzaaa: Grub2 is a bad thing in general. I'd wish i could revert to Grub1, but it ain't booting my XP [10:39] i assume you have an acer volkan? [10:40] okay.. [10:40] yes unfortunately i do... [10:40] lol theadmin, I just installed grub2 because I couldn't fix my grub1 problem [10:40] crackguy: depends, do you have a static ip? [10:40] Sh3r1ff, yup! [10:41] in #grub they don't support grub1 anymore [10:41] ZykoticK9, can u tell me about how to under stand partitioning in ubuntu.. [10:41] Wazzzaaa: I see. Well, i kinda am absolutely noob about second grub [10:41] 32 bit? [10:41] geeker, sorry man i stay away from partitioning stuff over IRC, too dangerous [10:42] I'm getting better with it :) [10:42] crackguy: then you can, or you can configure your dns to point .crackguy.net to your ip [10:42] well.. [10:42] eamon if u ask me yes i have a 32 bit version of ubuntu [10:42] its okay.. [10:42] u can tell me.. [10:42] i wnt apply any thing.. [10:42] u can teach me in a way.. [10:42] coz i have no idea about the things.. [10:42] Sh3r1ff, i can try that, but i am not very convinced it is that simple, cause i heard something about reverse dnsing and stuff [10:43] !enter > geeker [10:43] geeker, please see my private message [10:43] volkan: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_190.42.html [10:43] geeker: Well, basically, hard disks are /dev/sd + LETTER + PARTITION NUMBER. Where letter is a device identifier... First hard disk would be /dev/sda, and partition number... is a partition number, such as 1. [10:43] that is the driver for support of that card if you didnt have it already [10:44] Hm... wait a sec. [10:44] what the heck is wrong with pulse audio it freezes up after a bit of playing music? [10:44] If there is "eth0", why isn't there sd0? [10:44] ow thanks i had downloaded the latest version but it had not worked i hope this helps [10:44] crackguy: that is also on the dns server [10:44] thanks for interest [10:44] no prob friend good luck [10:44] Err, sda0 or something [10:44] Sh3r1ff, what dns server? i haven't set up any dns server.. or do you mean my domain name... [10:45] crackguy: dns is telling crackguy.net is that ip, reverse dns is telling that ip is crackguy.net [10:45] problems with certain hardware is depressingly common [10:45] theadmin, ok thats why they have written so like sda0, sda1.. and so on, now how to guess about, which one is first and which one is second [10:46] there wont be sda0 [10:46] Emanon, whay so?? [10:46] disk partition numbering starts at 1 in linux geeker [10:46] it starts at 0 in bsd if thats any consoloation [10:46] consolation i mean [10:46] geeker: You can look at gparted [10:46] crackguy: when you register a domain name, a dns server has to have the information which ip is habndling crackguy.net, either you can have your own dns server doing that, or it is the company where you registered your domain name [10:46] !seen one [10:46] I have no seen command [10:46] sorry but whats that Emanon , i mean bsd?? [10:47] Emanon, now start to explain slices ;) [10:47] hehe [10:47] geeker: Another Unix based system... There are Linux, BSD and Mac... all are unix based [10:47] bsd is another operating system that like linux is based off of unix [10:47] !dns | crackguy [10:47] the latest versions of mac anyways [10:48] it tends to have more stability and logical development but is as a general rule a little slower to adopt exciting new tech [10:48] hmm, ubottu doesn't know anything about dns [10:48] heh [10:49] id say if your willing to go hardcore its well worth a look but dont be surprised if things are different than you expect [10:49] + [10:49] device labeling being one of them hehe [10:49] Sh3r1ff: I think it was deleted time ago [10:49] but it might be worth it just for zfs === ChrisSoyars is now known as afk|ChrisSoyars [10:50] but im getting ot [10:52] hey can any one tell me more of linux partitioning.. [10:52] what would you like to know geeker [10:52] i cant get things like /dev/sda1 [10:52] gparted [10:52] -gparted [10:52] --gparted [10:52] then you probably have ide or pata drives [10:53] !disks | geeker [10:53] geeker: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [10:53] good command epinky [10:53] palimpset is decent as well [10:54] it says i have /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, unallocated and than again a new window tab, and than /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4.. i cant get how is the hierarchy followed here, like in windows there are c drive or d drive.. so how can i compare them here [10:54] What is a good password manager for Ubuntu? [10:56] geeker: you can compare windows c an d drive with mount points in linux [10:56] Sh3r1ff, i am on my dns server serttings, this is what it shows [10:56] You are currently using our domain name servers (DNS) for your domain. [10:56] Please enter DNS name only (ex: ns1.mydomain.com). Please don't enter IP [10:56] addresses. You can enter up to five name servers. It is advisable to enter atleast [10:56] two nameservers for a domain. Please note that it will take up to 24 hours for [10:56] the changes to take effect [10:56] crackguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:56] oops! sorry [10:57] crackguy: so they are handling the dns [10:57] geeker: /dev/=device sd=scsi drive (as opposed to ide or pata) a-z is which drive (first is a second b and so on) and numbering is which partion on that drive [10:57] Sh3r1ff, yeah, but as they suggested, i can not enter an ip address [10:57] so /dev/sda1 is the first partition on the first scsi controlled drive geeker [10:57] sda2 the second and so forth [10:57] Hello [10:58] q [10:58] hi friendishan [10:58] how do I get a list of installed packages? [10:58] !bind [10:58] hi, how can i remove a ubuntu box from a SBS 2003 domain? [10:58] !bind9 [10:58] neil_d: open synaptic and filter by package status [10:58] !clone | neil_d [10:58] neil_d: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [10:58] or what ZykoticK9 said [10:59] thanks Emanon : i can get things now, it means like as u said my ubuntu is installed to /dev/sda2 means installed to second partition.. is that so.. [10:59] I want to make a backup of my evolution so that i can transfer every mail and accounts to my other computer, please tell me how to do that, thanks [10:59] crackguy: that is for entering your nameservers, if you don't have your own dns server, you can't enter a nameserver (nameserver = dns server) [10:59] yup [10:59] is there a way to clear a processor of other processes so that I can use it to only support 1 process? [10:59] second partition on first drive [10:59] !backup evolution [10:59] friendishan: it will be an option in evolution's file menu [11:00] how to logon local instead of on a domain? [11:00] friendishan: File>Backup Settings [11:00] Emanon, ok so what is thios extended partition than, again it has roots under it, which says /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda4 [11:00] friendishan: will back up everything but saved passwords [11:00] Îëåíè ) [11:01] geeker: a drive can support up to 4 primary partitions (sda1-4) and more extended (or logical) partitions (5-whatever the max is) [11:01] Sh3r1ff, alright, i've set my subdomain atif.crackguy.net to 122.105.241.106 in A (Address) record type.. i hope that is right [11:01] SeR yeah :) [11:01] crackguy: that's how it works ;) [11:01] so 1-4 are primaries and 5-whatever are extended which means their essentially smaller partitions inside of another one [11:02] Sh3r1ff, awesome! now how can i use it as a vhost? [11:02] so what that means is it wanted to separate files (for better performance/security) into more partitions than it could have as primary so it made extended partitions to help with that geeker [11:03] Emanon, that is okay.. but here i have /dev/sda5 too under extended [11:03] Sh3r1ff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vhost_(IRC) suggests that 1. The vhost in question must have an A record which points to the IP address from which the connection to the IRC network is being made. 2. The reverse DNS for the IP address must point back to the vhost. [11:03] by separating directories into partitions made for specific uses you can increase performance and security by altering partition-wide permissions (no executables file size quotas etc) [11:03] right 5 will be the first extended partition [11:04] regardless if there is a 4 3 or 2 [11:04] crackguy: sec, let me read the webpage [11:04] * SeR slaps attack around a bit with a large trout [11:04] äàé äåíåã) [11:04] zachem?

[11:07] crackguy: that is also on the dns server [11:07] eamon thanks again btw i think we will be good friends soon:D [11:08] Sh3r1ff, i am reading this http://www.leveltendesign.com/blog/nickc/virtualhost-tricks-pointing-your-machines-ip-a-different-location-localhost [11:08] SeR: Lūdzu pievienoties šis kanāls #ubuntu-lv [11:09] crackguy: you need a PTR record on your dns server [11:09] you might try the package manager synaptic and look for files with xfree86 in the title volkan [11:10] but you should note that The Xorg server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors, [11:10] and supersedes all XFree86 X servers. volkan [11:10] Emanon, i am getting confused man.. i cant understand the partition matter, it says, one needs to have root partition than home and than swap.. [11:10] Sh3r1ff, i am trying to figure out how [11:11] geeker the root partition (labled as / ) is your whole system directory [11:11] within that are directories for various things including /home which is your personal folder directory [11:11] like My Documents in windows [11:12] swap is virtual memory used when you need more than your physical memory can provide [11:12] like the windows pagefile [11:13] How can I changed my login screen in Ubuntu ? [11:13] I want to put another one . [11:13] System>Administration>Login Screen xhunter [11:14] crackguy: btw, the site you posted isn't really relative to what you're doing [11:14] Emanon, Thank you. [11:14] Sh3r1ff, yeah I realised [11:14] np xhunter [11:15] Sh3r1ff, i can't find any way to setup a PTR record in my domain settings [11:15] crackguy: do you have anywhere the option to set a reverse dns? [11:16] Sh3r1ff, i can't find any, i am using www.namecheap.com for my domain, you can click on Help and find topics, there is nothing there either [11:16] hi! where do i setup how often rsyslogd writes to disk? here is accesses disk about every 3-4 sec. anyone?

[11:26] and still retain automatic wifi connection [11:26] hello [11:28] Talk? [11:28] hi, i have ftp server and want to allow for user to read, execute but not to remove file. How to do this?

[11:33] change it's priority with gnome-system-monitor? [11:33] nyaa, in the sourcecode of the process you can do that, as just the priority will not be enough usually, but memlocking etc has to be cared for === vagvaf_ is now known as vagvaf [11:34] Anyone know how I can configure Evolution to download mail from my gmail account, but to leave it unchanged and unread on gmail's server, so that Outlook will download it and recognise it as new mail [11:35] thats the default setting in evolution Kentrel [11:35] Kentrel: use imap [11:36] Kentrel: but it won't see it as unread mail, because you already read it [11:36] Kentrel: unless you use pop and select the option to leave a copy on the server [11:36] i use pop and i had to tell gmail to delete my messages when evolution downloaded them (or even mark them as read) so check the settings gmail side [11:37] I see ok [11:37] nibbler caramba, so how would I make a wine process real time? [11:37] Hey, my /boot (ext2) partition doesn't has an UUID when I do nlkid [11:37] blkid* [11:37] any idea what can be the problem? [11:39] hi i cant find teh .deb bownload fior urby [11:39] Emanon: that's not the standard behaviour [11:39] was for me idk maybe their default changed [11:40] Emanon: even it was like that for you, it doesn't make that the default behaviour [11:41] nyaa, not at all. whats your problem? [11:41] nibbler: I've been trying to convince a friend to use linux but he gets much better fps in wow in windows =x I have a real time kernel so I'm experimenting to see if I can beat out windows [11:42] might consider some of the awesome linux fps games [11:42] nyaa rt kernels are slower than normal kernels [11:42] nibbler I've tried using nice, and setting it with all sorts of configurations as far as what core(s) it runs ot with taskset [11:42] Does anybody know how to make grub-2 to boot an entry automaticly [11:42] rsk then what would make a kernel get more fps in wine? [11:43] nyaa it mostly depends on the videocard driver [11:43] nyaa no [11:43] I have some servers which doesn't do that as default [11:43] rsk so for nvidia cards is there some secret driver that gets better fps? [11:43] nyaa no [11:43] nyaa, realtime does not make your system faster... you have an abstraction layer, that takes performace.... [11:44] nibbler understandable, but if we're just playing wow in a beast of a machine, it should allow the game to utilize more of the machine right? [11:44] nyaa no it dosent matter what the machine is [11:44] I'm Here [11:45] nyaa, no [11:45] nyaa realtime is just a guarante that you get stuff done in a certian ammount of time [11:45] http://pastie.org/866395 is my grub-config [11:45] nyaa and by that is sacrifices things to get them done, meaning a slower overall system [11:45] who is use BackTrack? [11:45] root_ #backtrack [11:45] i do when its needed root_ [11:46] rsk then would you have any recommendations? maybe a really short timeslice? [11:46] hello [11:46] nyaa what nvidia driver are you using now? [11:46] need a good guitastic grub config utility for gnome [11:46] i downloaded and extracted all the tar files as requested but i dont know what to do now to make the installation of xfree86 [11:46] root_, #backtrack-linux for backtrack support [11:46] nyaa read the appDB entry for wow, that should give some hints [11:47] backtrack3 better than 4 [11:47] rsk tried everything from 185.x to the very latest which is 190.53 [11:47] volkan they surely have an install readme? [11:47] rsk I've been over that whole thing, tried all the advice there. [11:47] nyaa what wine versions have you tried? [11:47] rsk latest version and the 1.x that is in the ubuntu repos [11:48] nyaa and have you tried cleaning .wine/ every now and then? [11:48] between wine versions [11:48] rks also tried older versions but dapper etc won't even install heh [11:48] try https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa [11:48] rsk I have not tried that, where's .wine/ at? you mean kust in the home folder? [11:48] yes in home usually [11:49] rsk so how do you clean it out? what parts do you take out? [11:49] everything [11:49] beware that it erases all wow data also [11:49] and all other wine installed apps [11:49] yeah installing that was a pain, I'll prob save the folder [11:51] waiting ubuntu 10.4 [11:51] zonanet_, lucid discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:51] f*cking apt watch, how to kill it ? i can install nothing about a hour [11:52] is there a way to clear other processes off a core, and reserve it for just a few processes?

[12:07] I brought a netbook a week ago it came with win7 starter. So I just tried to install ubuntu for dualboot. I set up a live-USB using UNetBootin. So then I booted form it and Got the Problem, that the installler did not find the Win7 Part. It didn't find any Partition so I set up the USB a second and third time but it always detected only an empty HDD. What shall I do`? [12:07] Sh3r1ff: That was the only way it would work, as it failed to run under GNOME. [12:08] James_T_Kirk: and ubuntu is now up to date? [12:08] Sh3r1ff: I cant tell you, since I cant access it... total freeze-up man! LOL [12:09] Gnoxter: try going to windows side defragging and resizing the partition from that side [12:09] Sh3r1ff: I am on Vista at the moment, which is not really where I would like to be.

[12:10] meowbuntu: packages.ubuntu.com but make sure you do not break your system [12:10] James_T_Kirk: when you log on on your ubuntu, take a terminal and update till all updates are installed, then log on in X and try the update manager [12:10] Yep. Just one HDD and Installer says, its empy === devyll_ is now known as devyll [12:10] might be looking at the usb i mean Gnoxter [12:10] nope this one is shown too [12:10] Sh3r1ff: Thanks.

[12:32] a personal finance program would not go amiss either silidan [12:32] maybe homebank [12:32] sh3r1ff: sure did and I'm running the ddclient on my linux box [12:32] silidan: but be carefull with code you find on the internet [12:32] i assumed that paypal or similiar was going to be used ;) [12:33] hexdump_: and what is the eaxct problem? [12:33] sh3r1ff: the ip is not resolving to a domain name [12:33] sorry, is possible in 1 LAN have 2 DNS 1 for every computer? [12:33] hexdump_: you mean the domain name is not resolving to an ip? [12:33] if hes going to charge creditcardshimself :P ... then ssl .. and a lot of securitystuyff from visa/mastercard their 3d secure stuff ;) [12:33] sure sorry [12:34] hexdump_: what's the domain name? [12:34] o they works well [12:34] OpenDNS and Telecom IT [12:34] when useing a LiveCD where are the changes stored? [12:34] neil_d: to ram... [12:34] Jastor, Emon, thanks will read up about that...

I know to ram... but is it a ram disk? === oleg__ is now known as norton [12:36] hexdump_: what's the correct ip? [12:36] neil_d: basically. [12:37] Dr_Willis: can I access that data? or is it hidden somehow. [12:37] hey i want to remaster ubuntu livecd. need your guide. what i have to do? [12:37] neil_d: no idea. never wanted to or tried. [12:38] wejick: might consider the Ubuntu Customization Kit package (UCK) [12:38] how can i set my color profiles in ubuntu? i have an eee-pc (= no on-monitor keys to adjust monitor settings), and colors look totally different than on my desktop [12:38] wejick: I am using http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-live-cd [12:38] Emanon, i'll check it [12:38] sh3r1f: that isn't my ip [12:39] http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [12:39] neil_d, i'll check it too [12:39] documentation link on left side of that [12:39] hexdump_: can you give me the correct one? [12:39] ola [12:39] Emanon, how about reconstructor? [12:40] i hear good things but i've never used it so can't comment [12:40] hi! i'm running 9.10, and in the process of removing a piece of software, my printer configuration got removed from the System->Administration menu? Any idea how to get it back? [12:41] i would REALLY appreciate the help! [12:41] underdev_: readd the printer like you did the first time? ;) [12:41] underdev_: try running system-config-printer from a terminal - see if that works? [12:41] sh3r1ff: did anything show up at all when I gave you the ip? [12:42] hexdump_: never got the ip [12:42] when using a LiveCD is there any way to access what has been changed... there is a tmpfs filesystem on /cow but there is no such directory. [12:43] thanks- it prompted me to install system-config-printer-gnome, and that brought it back [12:43] THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! [12:43] anybody? [12:43] neil_d: what you mean by changes? [12:43] question, can a once installed Ubuntu on a PC run on every other PC with the same CPU architecture but different hardware configurations ? [12:43] really thought i might be hosed!!! [12:44] silidan: sometimes [12:44] silidan, i think it will run [12:44] silidan: but expect that theres a proabable chance of some errors somewhere ;) [12:44] silidan: possible not all hardware will work [12:44] silidan: yes but maybe you have to install additional drivers [12:44] silidan: often provided you dont remove driver packages [12:44] silidan: but linux is not like windows with crashing on other hardware [12:45] yea it will just revert to a generic driver until you get the right ones [12:45] silidan: if its a custom kernel for the other computers specific hardware ;) then id just reinstall [12:45] proprietary or otherwise [12:45] hexdump_: on the dyndns site, does it show the correct ip? [12:45] right but if its just a custom package set for one computer it will probably be ok [12:46] Sh3r1ff: when a file is changed.. the change must be stored somewhere.. do you know where? [12:46] ok thanks, so i might get the machine i like first running as a virtual machine and then just copy paset it to a harddrive? [12:46] or dd it anyways silidan [12:46] or dcfldd at that [12:46] dd=? [12:46] silidan, use migration tool from your vm [12:46] neil_d: it is stored in ram [12:46] bit for bit copy from one location to another [12:47] FYI => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/full%20circle%20all [12:47] sh3r1ff: sure does [12:47] so dcfldd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 would copy sda1 to sdb1 bit for bit [12:47] Sh3r1ff: yes.. i know... but where? in a ram disk somewhere I think.. [12:47] an exact copy [12:47] silidan: i dont know about what the others think :P but to me isntalling to a vm first and then move it to a real computer just seem like alot of uneccessary work and waste of tiem :) [12:47] neil_d: ram is not a disk ;) [12:47] sh3r1ff: you don't have to worry about it if you don't feel like it. did the ip work at least? [12:48] or dcfldd if=/somefolder/somevirtualdisk of=/dev/somedrive would do the same from a disk image [12:48] Sh3r1ff: it can be.. [12:48] hey all i need your suggestion for wordpress client for gnome/gtk env [12:48] dian [12:48] idk jastor i find when reinstalling customers OS its easier to just put their drives in my machine and install them in a virtual machine than to bring their whole computer over to my house and fund space for it [12:48] w [12:48] s [12:48] s [12:48] s [12:48] s [12:48] s [12:48] sss [12:48] nickfu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:49] I want to know why people use mail clients(thunderbird,kmail,outlook etc)? if we go to web and access email then we can access it from anywhere in world. but if we use mail client then all our previous emails are in our pc only. then we cant access them from anywhere? I am confused if i should use mail client or not? so just wanted to know why you use mail client?

[12:50] abhi_nav, i use m.gmail.com [12:50] as well as some nice security functions (digital signatures encryption added spam filtering virus scanning etc) [12:50] hexdump_: if the site is updated with the correct address, but nslookup gives a wrong ip, i would try to contact the support of dyndns [12:50] sh3r1ff: thanks a bunch [12:50] Sh3r1ff: /dev/shm is a disk that is only in ram hence a ram disk. [12:50] cause whether or not its harmfull to me its nice to scan things before i email them to people who use windoze [12:51] hexdump_ & wejick ok [12:51] and further to the dcfldd convo its really nice as a secure file deletion tool hehe [12:51] Emanon :-) [12:51] hj [12:52] just shy of microwaving the drive === MacVirus is now known as JasonXXXX [12:52] ok [12:52] whats the difference between wget and curl ?

[12:53] is that ISP info errr? I'm a big n00b if you can't tell so I don't know much [12:53] jastor: Wat? [12:53] i can upload with curl , but can one upload with wget ?

[12:59] Sh3r1ff: trying to get others to connect to you? sure you got an external ip? [12:59] Emanon: "poo"? [12:59] Sh3r1ff: A disk is a block device.. If a chunk of RAM is a block device.. doesn't that mean its a disk (from a certain view point). [12:59] wejick: eek! [12:59] i just received my bc 2 copy today !!!!!! archboxman [13:00] archboxman, will go home now and install [13:00] maco, o not 33 kbps but 3-33kbps [13:00] doesnt accurately portray the level of loserness inherent in that program [13:00] anyone know how what to trace these Epiphany JS errors to: http://pastebin.com/DXmXE9ji ? <- a large portion of the web is broken because of this 2.29.92 [13:00] indus: dont rub it in what other computer games you play??? [13:00] off topic [13:00] ok [13:00] linux is cheating on teh whole 32bit system max 4GB memory allocating buisness ;) .. now i got 4GB usable as ram even with my graphics card :P so instead of 4GB-512MB as normal ;) its like 4GB+512MB adressed [13:00] wow ! [13:00] archboxman, come to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:00] jastor: ??? i was just saying that i didn't try to connect to the ip hexdump_ gave me [13:01] Sh3r1ff: ah .. ok .. missed that part :) [13:01] jastor: is called PAE and its an extension available in newer processors [13:01] hey well could someone please help me get smb sharing going between a ubuntu 9.10 fresh install and xp [13:01] Sh3r1ff: it might not have a spinning platter.. but to the OS it doesn't care if a block device uses a spinning platter and a magnetic serface. [13:01] Sh3r1ff: thought it was your ip :) [13:01] cause ive got 3 people waiting for me [13:01] maco: ok :) [13:01] plz [13:02] bouma: webmin ... as easy as it can get [13:02] hi [13:03] i've tried clicking on the sharing options but when i click on it in the xp share, it gives me an alert and red exclamation and tells me its not accessible cause i dont have permission, this is after i select guest access on linuix [13:03] jastor: how do i do that ? [13:03] just make a direct connection to the target ips from linux side using login info from xp side [13:03] Sound in flash has ceased working in Chrome (youtube videos) - any ideas where to start? I don't see a log file in /opt/google/chrome and sound is still functional in audacious (PulseAudio) [13:04] Emanon: dont know what you mean [13:04] jalons, occasionally, an application may be unable to access the sound server while other applications are using it [13:04] !wow > sam_sam [13:04] sam_sam, please see my private message [13:04] jastor: well even if you could give me a fool proof paste into smb.conf i would be happy [13:04] bouma: http://www.webmin.com download install login through your browser .. its quick and painless and lets you set up about anything on a linux machine [13:04] Places>Network [13:05] then look in the windows network folder [13:05] jastor: for real [13:05] should have any active machines on network [13:05] kaolbrec: isn't that the reason PulseAudio exists? To basically proxy in frond of the device? Also, would pfiles (erm, lsof?) show what PIDs are attempting to access /dev/audio? [13:05] double click on one enter user name and password as if you were logging into the target and you have administrative share access [13:05] that means the whole drive [13:05] neil_d: i was talking in terms of ram being volatile, disks not [13:05] jalons, I believe so, and I don't know [13:06] jalons, all I know is that i had a similar problem with fceu [13:06] hi all [13:06] jalons, the solution was to shut down other applications accessing sound, and then run fceu. [13:07] !panels | arvind_khadri [13:07] arvind_khadri, please see my private message === nawst2 is now known as mawst [13:08] lots of indians here nowadays :) [13:08] Every time I try linux on the desktop sound is always what pushes me away :) [13:08] sam_sam: hmm :-) [13:09] time to leave :) thanks guys and bye all ,bye abhinav [13:09] my ubuntu desktop windows don't appear. any window opens in full screen without the option to minimize or restore. can any one help me out? [13:09] hi all [13:09] sam_sam: bye :) === nand_ is now known as nand [13:09] Sh3r1ff: ok! but the computer does not know it volatile.. but then a Compact Flash card is memory and not volatile.. [13:09] I have updated the sourcelist [13:10] because I wanted to install virtualbox but I see only the version 3.0 and not the 3.1 [13:10] Hi guys, can someone give me a hint on whats happening here? http://pastebin.com/4VCWhscz [13:10] or what do i do with that [13:10] afternoon people I need help with something stupid I just did [13:10] solved [13:10] thanks anyway [13:10] dany: [13:10] ndo: repo not found - dns issue or the repository is down [13:11] hmm [13:11] ndo, ask in #fedora or #redhat [13:11] merci [13:11] I plugged my ubuntu drive into another base unit to use it as the primary boot drive [13:11] j #ubuntu+1 [13:11] ndo: We don't use yum in Ubuntu, are you using Ubuntu? [13:11] jj [13:11] >< [13:11] im using fedora, but does it matter [13:11] :) [13:11] ndo: yes [13:11] doesnt centos use yum ?

[13:12] ndo: Well we use apt, not yum, so you aren't going to get any help here with yum. [13:13] ndo: you say the same that win 3.11 and windows 7 are the same too? ;) [13:13] my ubuntu destop windows don't appear. any window opens in full screen without the option to minimize or restore. can any one help me out? [13:13] ndo: but preferable use respective distro's channel its useful for user and helpers. since it may happend that someone wants to help you dont know how to do things on fedora [13:13] okay, anyway, back to the problem, repo is not found... what shall i do next, lets think :) [13:13] ndo: ask in #fedora [13:13] ndo: /join #fedora [13:13] selsy: a window manager inst runnign then [13:13] Anyone follow my problem pls? [13:14] selsy: open a terminal and type "metacity --replace" and hit enter [13:14] any special reason why webmin is not in the repos? [13:14] !webmin | brontosaurusrex [13:14] brontosaurusrex: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:14] !ebox [13:14] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [13:14] hola [13:14] okey, gus, fedora redirected me to fedora-unregistered, and i joined my old favorite channel :) but ill have to register there i guess then [13:14] maco, abhi_nav thnaks [13:15] and 3.11 and 7 are same ^^ [13:15] j/k [13:15] brontosaurusrex hmm [13:15] harro [13:15] # A sample share for sharing your CD-ROM with others. [13:15] [cdrom] [13:15] comment = Samba server's CD-ROM [13:15] bouma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:15] read only = yes [13:15] locking = no [13:15] maco, thank you. ijust run the command but no change [13:15] ndo register your channel to join fedora then [13:15] selsy: did it say anythng? [13:15] ndo sorry,register your nick to join fedora then [13:15] Has anyone here successfully changed the grub menu theme? [13:16] (grub2) [13:16] whats wrong with samba, why wont xp read it, it winges about not having access [13:16] it failed to read session file [13:16] ive got security=share [13:17] maco, it says it failed to read session file [13:17] Is there a way to use adduser that doesn't make the person show up in gdm? [13:18] mawst: I *think* that users whose UIDs are less than 1000 will not show up in gdm. [13:18] Hi, I just installed a graphics tablet. Whats the command to see which device its using? [13:18] mawst: one of my friends wrote a series of grub2 tutorials which may be helpful http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/ [13:18] srsly can anyone give me a smb.conf entry hat will let me share to xp ??/ [13:19] Is there any way to get GRUB to boot from a GPT partiton, ubuntu keeps formatting my disks in gtp instead of MBR [13:19] And it screws up the install [13:19] rhinux=fail [13:19] Thanks maco [13:19] selsy: i dont know [13:19] how do i check the package version available in repository ? [13:20] Xserver: apt-cache policy [13:20] Xserver: apt-get update && apt-cache show policy packagename [13:20] Xserver: -show [13:20] hi, how do i check for current governor cpu freq via terminal ? [13:20] maco, thanks for the help [13:20] Guest84674: cat /proc/cpuinfo [13:21] Xserver: if you want to see what a package's version for every current release of ubuntu at once, "rmadison " [13:21] Xserver, maco: you'll need devscripts installed for that iirc. [13:22] Anyone here had any luck installing GRUB on disks that are 2tb or larger? [13:22] iceroot, thanks but i could not find the governor [13:22] The auto-installer keeps formatting the disk as GPT which.. stops GRUB from working [13:23] pls i cant recover my system from sleep...i have to do a hard reset... [13:23] GPT? what is that? === cece is now known as Nokia6730c [13:23] Slyboots: I've never tried that, but I assume you would run into similar problems as with the old 1024-sector limit, with a similar workaround: Create a boot partition near the beginning of the disk and everything should work. [13:24] dj_segfault: Wont help, Im setting up a server so i has to be in a RAID array [13:24] I have an Acer D150, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to track down a serious bug. I can be using my system, and the screen goes totally blank. I've tested it in windows (no issues there), and when the screen blanks, the WiFi card appiers to still be transmitting, however, I can't shell into it. anyone with ideas how to track this down? [13:24] Guest84674: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governo [13:24] r [13:24] Need /boot to be RAID1 array, so creating the MSDOS partion wont help in the event of a disk-crash [13:24] iceroot, which governor am i using ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/394008/ [13:25] Guest84674: what is a governor? [13:25] jeeves_Moss: Sounds like the kernel is fine and X is dying or comatose. Can you kill X and see what happens? [13:25] llutz, can i set the powersave as the default governor after booting ? [13:25] Guest84674: both cpu cores are running with 1100mhz [13:25] The latest version of Ubuntu is supposed to support Wacom graphics tablets out of the box, but I can't get it to work [13:25] Guest84674: you should [13:25] Kentrel, karmic 9.10 ? [13:25] iceroot, it is somekind of cpu scaling [13:26] baz, yes [13:26] iceroot: a governor is a sheme cpufreq controls the frequencies [13:26] dj_segfault, as I said, I don't have a screen. I have to hard reboot it. I've tried the key combo to get to shell (ie. ctrl+alt+f, then logging in, and nothing) [13:26] Any idea how I can change GDM to allow XDMCP login through the command line? [13:26] iceroot: http://www.redhat.com/docs/wp/performancetuning/powermanagement/governor_types.html [13:26] llutz, what do i have to do to set the powersave as the default ? [13:27] jeeves_Moss: Do you have another machine you can ssh in from? Sorry I misread your original post [13:28] llutz, i've used echo powersave /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor in /etc/rc.local but the scaling back to ondemand after a minute or so [13:28] hi im having some trouble mounting a floppy, when I try mount /dev/fd/0 i get mount: /dev/pts/1 is not a block device [13:28] de donde soys?? [13:28] dj_segfault, I tried, and it refuses the connection (both WiFi and wired). and since we're on a netbook, I don't have serial to connect in with (and I don't know where my USB to serial adaptor is) [13:28] ... /dev/fd/0? maybe /dev/fd0 [13:28] de españa?? [13:28] So, no-one knows of a workaround for this issue? [13:29] !es | estricuxi [13:29] estricuxi: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [13:29] !es | estricuxi [13:29] I've tried using fdisk to partition the disk manually, but the partitioner just wipes the disk again [13:29] mount dev/fd0 gives mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. Can i add it to block devices [13:30] Well.. Where do I go to report a bug in the installer then? [13:30] Guest84674: install cpufreqd and edit /etc/default/cpufreqd [13:30] jeeves_Moss: This is a bit of a long shot, but can you WIn-Space to launch gnome-do and then run some app that would cause some visible action, like ping or eject? Or just shut down? [13:30] Slyboots: graphical or text based installer? [13:30] Text based [13:30] dj_segfault, win-space? you mean the key combo? [13:30] Slyboots: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug [13:31] jeeves_Moss: Yes. [13:31] How do I find out which device in /dev/input is my graphics tablet? [13:31] by-id event0 event2 event4 event6 mouse0 [13:31] by-path event1 event3 event5 mice mouse1 [13:31] POGBDOM\regmtim0: is it there? [13:31] why is radiusd missing when i install it from package repository ? [13:31] llutz, will do.. i'll report after [13:31] dj_segfault, I'll try that next time. Is there anything in the logs that you can think of, or could I write a "trap" script that'll launch when I do a macro to scrape some logs @ that point [13:32] Guest84674: theres also cpufrequtils , i'm not sure which of these would do the better job [13:32] llutz: thanks for the info [13:33] jeeves_Moss: Unless you frag your hard drive from shutting down, all you have to do is reboot and loot at the right time in the logfiles. No need to do anything fancy. [13:33] is radiusd a seperate package in karmic ? [13:33] i am unable to find the executable [13:33] dj_segfault, that's what I did last time, and there was no serious issues I could find in the logs. it's like X just took a vacation (or ODed on something good! LOL) [13:34] hello here is somthing i thought i understood...but i guess not... I do an ln -s /iso iso and it maps the path iso/iso/ I would like it to map to the iso folder in the current directory like this iso/ is this even possible? [13:34] pls i cant recover my system from sleep...i have to do a hard reset...wht do i do? [13:35] When installing updates, should I keep the current grub or choose a different one? [13:35] jeeves_Moss: I often find that when that happens; nothing in the logs. What I've done in the past is write a cron job that does a ps -aux every few minutes to a timestamped file and deletes those files over an hour old. [13:36] dj_segfault, hummmm [13:36] mhm [13:36] das ist doch mist [13:36] AceKing: Unless you've modified them yourselves in some special way, use the new one [13:36] dj_segfault, is there a command that checks all of your system configs, etc for errors? kinda like apache does? [13:36] hola a todos [13:36] anybody know, how stabble is ubuntu 10.04? it's safe to upgrade it from 9.10? [13:37] !lucid > Ranakah [13:37] Ranakah, please see my private message [13:37] ubuntu is shit [13:37] philipp__: you have a support-question? [13:37] dj_segfault, Thanks, I kept clicking on keep current because it was set that way by default [13:37] !language | philipp__ [13:37] philipp__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:37] tnx :D i search this chann but forget what name is :D [13:37] German [13:37] philipp__: demand a refund and troll off [13:37] jeeves_Moss: Not one central thing. It would have to keep up on the development of hundreds of third party projects. However, what I have on my system is another cron task checkhealth.sh that I constantly add things to, like file permissions that sometimes go wrong, etc. [13:38] can get git to install to /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin using yum ? [13:38] ola [13:39] could somebody help me with ubuntu? [13:39] what do i use to burn iso file into cd in ubuntu? [13:39] ola [13:39] oal [13:39] aol [13:39] coachz: Why not just create a symbolic link? [13:39] brilliant ! [13:39] thanks [13:39] masu3701: brasero works well, but I prefer the power of k3b [13:39] never mind figured it out shouldnt have been using relative paths [13:39] fabio333 fd is listed as a block device in /proc/devices but 'mount /dev/fd someDir' gives mount: /proc/5618/fd is not a block device [13:40] hello, could anyone explain how do i patch my kernel? im tring to install drivers and i need to patch the kernel and the drivers [13:40] philipp__, just ask your question [13:40] im new to linux [13:40] #latin [13:40] i have the patch code posted on a website, and i kinda dont know what to do with it [13:41] dj_segfault, ahhhhh, that's cool. [13:41] dj_segfault, all I know is that it's not cool that windows 7 is more stable! LOL [13:41] why do virtual windows programs slow down very much [13:42] anyone ? [13:42] jeeves_Moss: I'm all for a better Windows. Fewer pwned boxes sending out spam === ratty___ is now known as davewilly [13:43] dj_segfault, this is true. I love Ubuntu as a sys admin for fixing p0wned windows networks. I have no issues with hooking up my netbook to a totally infected network to fix things [13:43] i find it actually so sorry that i have to go to other channel only because my problem is caused by yum and not apt :( [13:43] how to i extra .rar file in ubuntu? [13:44] !rar | masu3701 [13:44] masu3701: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [13:44] masu3701: unrar [13:46] anyone can help with patching kernel ? [13:47] #ubuntu-es [13:49] So..

I'm using gpg through a script/daemon which is stated upon boot from /etc/init.d/ using start-stop-daemon. When the script uses gpg, it finds no keys.

I am assuming the disk is presently completely used. If it isn't, you can simply use gparted to increase the partition size ... depending on the partition layout.

[16:25] there is nothing in the new home [16:25] acicula: cool. lsusb solves the problem although it didn't mention any usb device attached. thanks. can you explain what was wrong? [16:25] i just want the old home [16:25] nikolaj: then mount the other one then.. [16:25] Darkstar1: so can you tell me the procedure to make my goal? Is it possible at all? [16:25] nikolaj: sudo mount /home [16:25] archman: so if you still have your Ubuntu CD boot with that and choose option 1 [16:25] and the old home is a 70gb partition [16:25] meee: probably the usb device was deactivated/powered down or something other [16:25] meee: if you run lsusb a second time it'll probably show up [16:25] so do i even need that line in gedit? [16:26] archman: yes I did something similar last week using gparted [16:26] nikolaj: No... thats a COMMAND LINE [16:26] acicula: no, it was on. (it a mp3 player) [16:26] nikolaj: save fstab and exit the editor [16:26] abhi_nav, any idea why there are four options for fonts in ubuntu ?

[16:26] Darkstar1: i'm using Jaunty, and i got some Karmic livecd, is it cool? [16:26] apologies again [16:26] just want to be clear [16:26] nikolaj: err.. yes.. logical eh> :) [16:26] archman: Yes.. it's cool [16:26] aboSamoor: four? where? i have only one option in sys=>pref=>lang support === McPeter is now known as FAI-Orange [16:26] wouldent do much good to edit it and not save it.

[16:29] The last time I tried 9.10, the mouse kept jumping to the upper left corner rendering mouse input impossible. [16:29] it is still seen as a different media device on the desktop [16:29] hehe [16:29] how can i downgrade from sqeeze to karmic ? [16:30] rethus: debian is not ubuntu..... so that may not be doable.. [16:30] rethus: what is sqeeze? [16:30] rethus: or may be very complex [16:30] ok. thanks [16:30] not possible [16:30] * helo edits grub.cfg directly [16:30] out of interest, are all of the user settings NOT kept in the /home directory [16:31] helo: aint you leet. [16:31] ? [16:31] nikolaj: users settings are in their home dirs [16:31] because i had ubuntu studio installed [16:31] my computer platform use for 64bit, but i'm using ubuntu 32bit... can i upgrade from 32bit to 64bit? [16:31] xukun: ipv6 is enabled by default? [16:31] and obviously therefore a lot of other programs settings [16:31] ajipubuntu: no [16:32] Has anybody else experienced a problem with the mouse moving to the upper left corner constantly with 9.10? [16:32] so i was hoping to get that all back [16:32] ajipubuntu: no you have to use a 64bit install disk [16:32] nikolaj: 'setting files' for the users are in the users home dir... [16:32] nikolaj: users normally can ONLY do things intheir own home [16:32] by setting the home directory back to as it is now [16:32] yup [16:32] i am the only user [16:32] JuJuBee: that used to be a common problem with Thinkpads [16:32] nikolaj: i do such things all the time with /home/ its rather trivial to move it to a partiton/drive/whatver [16:33] ikonia: I have an asus laptop g71 [16:33] so how do all of the settings get reverted to how they were?

[17:21] ashmew2: your best bet is to find an application that you like/use a lot/think could do with some love [17:21] look at their bug list [17:21] AlveKatt: You have to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) in XP [17:21] and start contributing small patches [17:22] over time you'll understand their method of doing things and will start contributing bigger things, like new features [17:22] elijah: I have done that, in a very followinging tutorials I don't really understand haphasard way... [17:22] Beelsebob: Like i know there's a glitch in XYZ application that everywhere it writes Abuot instead of about ? [17:22] AlveKatt: Yeah, it is kind of a pain everytime I have done it [17:22] how do i go about fixing that ? [17:22] ashmew2: get the source, then make a diff patch [17:22] AlveKatt: I can't really help you much more than that [17:22] ashmew2: you grab XYZ application's source [17:22] you fix it in your copy of the source [17:22] is there away to pass nm-applet options for configuation? [17:22] you create a diff [17:22] and you submit a bug report along with the patch [17:22] (assuming a bug report doesn't already exist) [17:23] and how do i understand the source ? :P [17:23] * elijah can't wait to get a 4G mifi so he doesn't have to worry about ICS ever again === m4v is now known as grazz [17:23] become a programmer [17:23] obviously , but i mean in what sense ? like should i know around the language that the source is written in ? [17:23] ideally === grazz is now known as Guest17385 === Guest17385 is now known as m4v [17:23] like for example Firefox [17:23] a lot of special programming text editors try and figure out what language it is when you open it [17:23] what language is it written in ?

Make sure you have all of its dependencies, like GTK headers, etc too [17:27] If I put a bunch of commands in a script, and call that script with sudo, is it equivaletn to having sudo in front of each of the commands in the script? [17:28] ashmew2, Yes.. then when it works like it should, run a diff on the sourcecode and submit the differences in your code to theirs as a patch with documentation and the bug report it fixes [17:28] i'm unable to get the full resolution on my graphics [17:28] deedee, wtf are you talking about [17:28] Surlent777 : Ok...Can you tell me where can i start small with all of this ? === cp is now known as Guest72490 [17:28] graelin: thanks , but where does all of it start ? i mean i gotta start somewhere , sometime [17:28] nigelnigel: hi, the best approach in a busy channel is just to ask your question and hope someone knows the answer [17:28] harisund: no [17:28] could anyone tell me why my display won't go full screen on my monitor?

But I cannot access it on my university comp that runs Xp business I believe. The usb drive justs shows as blank at uni. It is not a problem with usb as I have used vista and same usb to tranfer files to same comp at uni. [18:01] maveas: it comes that some service is listening on that port [18:01] Surlent777: *checked [18:01] rabbit1: I see it clear as day. It's labeled "Show the panel's main menu", and the default is Alt+F1 [18:02] Please explain that? Cause we've just installed a ftp server on port 22 but the port is not open to the outside [18:02] nigelnigel: check the USB's filesystem type. === gomuze|away is now known as gomuze [18:02] maveas: maybe some firewall is blocking the port between the server and 'outside' === mnepton is now known as mneptok [18:02] milinek: Nope [18:02] maveas: is ufw enabled? [18:02] acicula: no [18:02] Muscovy ok then recontact you? [18:02] maveas: output from sudo netstat -tulpna ? [18:02] acicula: ufw state is inactive [18:03] (mask your ip if you need to) [18:03] If the drive is ext(something), windows can't read it. [18:04] Muscovy it says msdos [18:04] Hmm. [18:04] Surlent777: it works thx, but whts the other way around, it wont go back [18:04] I'm not sure then. [18:04] LISTEN 25, 3306, 587, 80, 22, [18:04] Muscovy ok thank you [18:05] rabbit1: I don't know what you mean [18:05] I might try backing it up and formatting to fat32 just in case. [18:05] Surlent777: i mean it selects the menu, how to close it now [18:05] evening all [18:05] rabbit1: Esc [18:06] maveas: on a publicly reacheable ip? [18:06] Surlent777: yeah, esc works, but with the same key is it possible [18:06] evning [18:06] rabbit1: no [18:07] Surlent777: thanks a lot, all these are small, but very helpful at times [18:07] Well.. there is a problem [18:07] rabbit1: no problem [18:07] nmap tells me that some ports are closed.. [18:07] Our school are noobs [18:07] :P [18:07] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YmieeEFb [18:07] Well.. beside that [18:07] My question was regarding iptables.. [18:07] Shouldn't iptables per default deny every ingoing packet? [18:08] iptables -L gives you rules for a specific table [18:08] maveas: by default it does nothing [18:08] Yeah, but there are none rules [18:08] Oh [18:08] hi all, could anyone tell me, how can I remove leading 'n' from output of command lsof -p -a -d cwd -Fn, please? [18:08] need help with wine [18:08] philipp__: don't drink it ;-) [18:08] So I should add a rule to deny everything and then add rules to accept specific ports? [18:08] milinek: Pipe it into: cut -c2- [18:09] maveas: default deny blocks everything, so you have to explicitly reenable stuff yes [18:09] Superb.. thanks :) [18:09] Surlent777: which is the best theme package you would recommend? [18:09] Pici: thanks a lot :-) [18:09] could anybody help me with netframework 3.5 and winehq? [18:10] My wireless internet is not working again, first it wasnt working, then I typed some code for madwifi in that I got off some website, not sure if that help but after a while it started working, now I see the networks that are available but it does not work again. In that I can't connect to my own wireless network [18:10] philipp__: questions about installing things within wine should be directed to #winehq [18:10] 8,4 hello [18:10] 6hello [18:11] rabbit1: For a dark theme, I have a slightly-edited version of New SlicknesS 2009. That's my current favorite. I think it was slightly messy to install though. As for synaptic packages, you may want to look into community-themes (Dust is popular) or the shiki-themes [18:11] everybody, I have a problem accessing virtualbox. It keeps giving me this error VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK10QByteArray7indexOfEPKci [18:11] !hi | chroot [18:11] chroot: Hi!

[18:11] ethioaman: mismatched library error by the looks of it [18:11] helle genni [18:12] philipp__, yeah wht Pici said.. but .net framework on Linux? REALLY? I'm not sure but I thought the Mono project was for getting .Net going. may try there [18:12] ethioaman: how did you isntall virtualbox? [18:12] rabbit1: the mythbuntu theme is also quite nice [18:12] I tried reinstalling the qt libraries and it kept giving me the same thing. [18:12] rabbit1 hello [18:12] hello GodFather [18:12] ethioaman: virtualbox and qt are mismatched [18:12] anyone here use the ALLGREY icon set? [18:12] I also reinstalled virtualbox, still the same [18:12] any suggestions [18:13] hi,how to run ngircd??? [18:13] hello chroot [18:13] ethioaman: are you using the ubuntu default qt and virtualbox or custom versions [18:13] or installed as deb, etc [18:13] default [18:13] i need netframework because i want use Mathcad 14 @ school [18:13] Hi! [18:14] I'm using the ubuntu default qt. [18:14] Somebody speaking serbian? [18:14] !serbian [18:14] Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. [18:14] I had also installed qt from nokia it didnt help [18:15] Is there a command like ifconfig to set up DNS . I mean not by editing /etc/resolv.conf [18:15] rabbit1 hello [18:15] well, I guess this is as baffling to everyone else as it is to me...gotta dig harder then I guess [18:15] ethioaman: well either qt or virtualbox are mismatched, try purging all the qt libs and virtualbox stuff and reinstalling virtualbox [18:15] acicula, thank you so much, your instructions have worked [18:15] philipp__, I think you're in for a headache. You'll probably be better off with virtualization like VMWare or Virtualbox (open source there) Seems like if you don't need 3d graphics capability, that may be the best way to go.. other than that check out a search for mono. I tried getting a 3.5 .net app goin before and remember something about that in my travels [18:16] ethioaman: its a dependency problem, so maybe downgrading to an older karmic version of qt/virtualbox may work [18:16] pc__: great [18:16] My wireless internet is not working again, first it wasnt working, then I typed some code for madwifi in that I got off some website, not sure if that help but after a while it started working, now I see the networks that are available but it does not work again.

[18:18] anyone familiar with fork/exec in C? I am trying to launch a child process by first fork()ing, then exec'ing and am having a really hard time figuring out a reliable way to quickly determine whether the child process launched successfully or errored out. Anyone got any ideas on how to do this? [18:18] matt_o: try in ##c [18:18] matt_o: check the pid? [18:18] matt_o: ie the fork result value [18:18] also homework questions wont get you very far in ##c ;) [18:19] acicula, so fork always succeeds and I can do a waitpid from the parent process on the child [18:19] now that i have a full screen display i'm now off to explore ubuntu some more, i'm loving it so far. i don't think i'll be going back to windows [18:19] Why was someone banned for using a language other than english? Is there a spanish channel? [18:19] why is it always the spanish speakers that are the most stubborn to move on to #ubuntu-es? Other languages like Russian, German have no issues with going to #ubuntu-ro or what ever. [18:19] can anyone help me figuring out transmission-daemon on hardy: on localhost the webui works, but on any remote host it doens't and where i am supposed to edit settings.json (its just not there ??) [18:19] Crunkenstein: there is #ubuntu-es [18:19] matt_o: err yes [18:19] but if the child is running, then I'll be waiting an indefinite amount of time (unreliable)... if it isn't running, then I have to wait for the child process to exit with an error code (as I see it), again waiting an indefinite amount of time [18:19] thanks folks & good night. [18:19] pc__, unfortunately you will someday.. but be strong.. even an alcoholic can fall from the wagon and get back up again [18:20] matt_o: best move this to ##c [18:20] matt_o, check this website and read issues 17 to 14 => http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/full_circle_overview.html [18:20] ok [18:20] Ichat: it probablt is not avaialbe by default remotely and you have to change a setting to make it available from other computers [18:21] Ichat: mind you thats not recmmened if you are connected to a public network [18:21] Stargaze, is that supposed to be a joke? [18:21] matt_o, what do you mean? [18:21] Stargaze, I don't see anything at that link that is relevant to the context [18:22] hi, is there any easy to use GUI application that will allow me to run a command as root every 5 minutes on my karmic computer? [18:22] guiapp: a gui for crontab? [18:22] do you know a Voice Changer for ubuntu? Anybody? [18:22] acicula, yes [18:22] acicula: - on 9.10 i was able to install it, and edit its settings file to enable access to any host in the 192.168.10.* range (being my subnet).

[18:24] i've got a small question to ask... Where do i find the "Battery status file" in ubuntu... i want to make my conky show my battery status in %, but it seems it's not BAT0 or BAT1, as it would be as default... can anyone tell me how to find out the correct "name" of my battery?

I remember that there was a bug in one of our alphas at one point where the LED didn't even light up at all on my wifi but it was working. Its probably something similar in this case. [18:44] if it works than it's ok ;DD [18:44] that's what i always say [18:44] Is it possible to use the systems user accounts to auth on a apache 2 httpd?

[18:47] I right clicked on icon and select settings - I have to use TAB, and it worked for a youtube video, but didn't allow me to selec the radio button when I was on site wiziq for setting hardware... [18:47] maveas: I'm completely guessing, but based on the package name libapache2-mod-auth-pam should provide something like that. [18:47] Pici: I'll look at it.

Only problem ever encountered is that during boot, on xsplash, it starts flashing crazily [19:00] Alright, so I'm about to try recovering a formatted 500 GB HDD onto another 500GB using foremost.

[19:02] scott_ino2: Actually, i'm using built-in drivers. What was the command to see the video card? [19:02] aliciapg: the nicer a process the less CPU it will use (is being nice with the other processes) [19:02] erorrs: ubuntu should auto-detect the card [19:02] irse ya [19:02] erorrs: but you can install the ati binary drivers [19:02] Alright, so I'm about to try recovering a formatted 500 GB HDD onto another 500GB using foremost.

[19:05] theadmin, easy way to tell, as it wont work with the open source driver, although in development [19:05] cant get desktop effects and cant play 3d games [19:05] claptrap: Are you using it for a Windows install? [19:06] scott_ino2: Sometimes yes. I keep it off when running hungry processes. Usually it works with Compiz though, too.

Just the files.

[19:07] it has happened many times [19:07] arcaos: The contents of the ISO can be bigger then ISO itself [19:07] Vhozard, they made it work? [19:07] Vhozard, if they did then im excited as i hated the fglrx driver [19:07] hi, can somebody help me with the virtualbox? i`ve got Ubuntu as my host system and windows xp as my virtual system and my virtual system can't connect to the internet. at the channel #vbox nobody can help me :( [19:08] arcaos, what about using a usb key instead ? [19:08] hey, i have a 64gb SSD arriving on Tuesday and want to move my system partition (home is on a seperate) to it. Do I need to any more than copy/paste and reconfig grub?

[19:08] arcaos: make sure the DVD is empty [19:08] theadmin: and the ISO was created by Brasero itself... [19:08] Gaja: Do network interfaces get detected? If no, you'll need some driver. [19:08] Vhozard, what chipset do you have [19:08] arcaos: Oh. Weird [19:08] Gaja: Install the Virtualbox Host Extras [19:08] erorrs: try the driver shiped with your distro [19:08] claptrap: Do you wish to recover it or do you want to use it for an Ubuntu install? [19:08] arcaos: Brasero is freakin' buggy, i myself use k3b [19:08] arcaos, what is this iso ? [19:08] How do i install the virtual box host extras [19:09] scott_ino2 Not using ubuntu, but with arch linux and xf86-video-git + libdrm-git + mesa-git + 2.6.33 I got decent performance (nexuiz 25 fps on ultra settings) [19:09] Gaja: it's in one of the menus of the OS window [19:09] Gaja: There are no host extras, there are guest addons [19:09] melodie_: movie [19:09] melodie_: but i use it all the time without problems [19:09] got two HD4850 in crossfire [19:09] Gaja: yes, guest addons.. havent used it in a while sorry [19:09] tell me an application which will create and write dvd from a .avi or .mpg file it should be fast [19:09] arcaos, try with gnomebaker [19:09] Vhozard, ahh i see... excellent glad they stabilized that driver [19:09] sometux:so will install from system?hardware driver [19:09] Vhozard, im gonna have to try it out [19:09] melodie_: the only problem is with ripping audio [19:09] xf86-video-ati-git* [19:09] Vigo: I don't quite understand your question. I just want the files (text files, videos, pics amd mp3s mostly). I'm running Ubuntu as my main OS. [19:09] Vhozard, this is the radeon driver correct that you speak of? [19:09] erorrs: yes [19:09] melodie_: will look into it [19:09] arcaos, else I can give you a command line to burn the iso if you like [19:09] yeah [19:09] Oasa, devede (not sure about the "fast" part, encoding takes time) === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [19:10] Vhozard, sweet... good to know [19:10] wodim -v -dao dev=/dev/yourdevice file.iso [19:10] The guest addons are installed yet [19:10] Oasa: devede ... the speed is up to your system and seeing as it needs to convert to the right size and so on, it'll take some time [19:10] that's good command line arcaos !

[19:10] melodie_: would love command line instructions [19:10] claptrap: Ok, now I understand, do you have a backup , I forget what that thing is called, oh System Restore? [19:10] richthegeek: how do i add a network to the setup?

[19:11] Vhozard, im using a radeon HD 3400 which i believe is a R6xx chip, so that's why i was always in a pickle before now i suppose [19:11] melodie_: sorry, thx [19:11] Gaja: stop the virtual machine, in the main window click "settings" or "config" [19:11] Vhozard, wow nice... that's sweet [19:11] Vigo: Not of the files that were wiped, no. I've got an sbackup of Ubuntu. [19:11] sometux:if crashes then what should i do? [19:11] welcome arcaos ! let's know the result ! [19:11] channel is going too fast :) [19:11] Gaja: there is a tab/section called "Network" or similar.. Add one [19:11] r6xx was better supported than r7xx [19:11] richthegeek: Nat is activated [19:11] erorrs: uninstall it [19:11] Vhozard, true, but still wasn't very stable at least when i tried it about 4 months ago [19:11] how? [19:11] Thanks .. i will try devede... ZykoticK , richthegeek.. any other alternativ ? [19:11] Gaja: that's not the same thing... [19:12] there exist any channel for graphic card problems?? [19:12] Oasa: they all run into the same issue with encoding.. devede is a nice enough GUI [19:12] richthegeek: one host network is activated [19:12] flipflop_: the #compiz channel usually know about that sort of stuff, though they may be a bit haughty [19:12] claptrap: May take some Forensic Recovery or whatever to attain access to those , have you tried probing it with Wine or some emulator?

I was following the synergy autostart instructions (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto) and I am having problems. It work fine except for one thing. It seems that the Xsession.d script that kills and runs synergy starts synergy too early and makes it so synergy grabs my display resolution too quick. It results in only one monitor switching.

[19:20] If you just changed the partition table it would be different. [19:20] claptrap: You could even use a Recovery Console, it is possible, but may take more than just a few simple programs to recover any lost data.

[19:28] claptrap: Maybe this can help: http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd [19:28] working with /etc/skel [19:28] claptrap: last time I used DVDdisaster, it worked by computing error correcting codes so you could recover damaged data if it occurred later on. It's useless unless you generated error correction data up front, so it totally doesn't apply to your situation... [19:28] laron: Firefox uses a profiling system. New users will have to install the extensions themselves. [19:29] Losha: Hello again, Losha! And ah, I see.

I thought the ; was a syntax char in bash and would recognise it as such [19:32] Losha: Do you think that would work from like, VirtualBox? [19:32] richthegeek: Well, apt-get is kinda stupid sometimes [19:32] DarkStar1: The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.

Bash is cleverer than you give it credit for [19:32] DarkStar1: but not as in 1,2,3,4 [19:33] Minoritystorm: oh dear... there is a wiki article on editing Grub2 [19:33] claptrap: been there, tried that. It doesn't. File recovery requires low-level block access to the drive. You generally don't get that from emulators/simulators... [19:33] richthegeek: Hem, it didn't work on Mint. Weird.

Nevertheless, it still is bash.

I'm using: noipRunning=`ps aux | grep "noip" | wc -l` whihc results $noipRunning as being set to 1, but it should be 2. Anyone know how to fix this? [19:34] DarkStar1: read the man page for fstab if you are doing manual edits [19:34] xxiao: You need ntfsprogs to format to NTFS, yes.

[19:42] Coppered: download the .tar.gz from the website (UNLESS there is a .deb), make, make install [19:42] Coppered: I think you'll have to download from Mozilla's site. They have a PPA too. So you can use that. Just a sec. [19:42] xxiao, get sandboxie for that xp-vmware, be 2 times safe, that's a sandbox within a sandbox :) [19:42] acicula: yea, wifi card even searches for networks and everything. In the default network manager it keeps popping up asing for wpa key (it's 100% correct, I have a text file of it and it works on every other device), but with wicd, it shows the network, I click connect and it authenticates, then when it tries to get an ip it fails after a long time.

[19:44] why would there be a new version? [19:44] seanbrystone: i need pay for the sandboxies thing though, why is it better than vm?

[20:37] cuz I've been having a couple of issues since upgrade aeon-ltd [20:37] thanks [20:37] i followed the instructions the same as i did when i set it up under 9.04 [20:37] faron: just no-script?, unlikely it would just do what its designed to do, block scripts on pages [20:37] are wallpapers stored in a different directory in .10? the sh file has gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename but i'm not seeing any /desktop to go into [20:37] jwaters: it doesnt work, which is a problem caused by apple unfortunatly [20:38] how does one change permissions for files in a folder mounted as a disk through secure webdav? [20:38] p0e: i don't use ubuntu, but you can check, just browse around in nautilus till you find the wallpaper dir. [20:38] does webdav even allow modifying permissions greg_B ? [20:38] i did, /usr/share/wallpapers.. i think i'm just going tot ry another route to setting this up [20:38] modifying the SH file for that directory accomplishes nothing btw [20:39] i don't know--it's been sgguested that i try it. [20:39] does ubuntu 9.10 no longer support pcf fonts? i cant get them to work.. even though i can view the ones i installed in xfontsel [20:39] acicula: I had ti running fine on a laptop two days ago, can I get the windows driver and make it work for linux? I read something about that but I have no idea how to do it. [20:39] it* [20:39] Nollog: in some instances that does work [20:39] p0e: do you mind sending a link to me for this guide? [20:39] Nollog: what changed? [20:39] running the windows driver is not really recommended though [20:39] http://mailman.cs.indiana.edu/pipermail/blug/2007-April/002295.html [20:39] I took it out of my laptop and put it in a nettop. :p [20:40] well maybe its just ubuntu netbook that doesnt support it yet, idunno, never dealt with that [20:41] the only deviation i made from the instructions (and the first time I set it up) was I set up the crontab before i ran chmod [20:41] Does the netbook version cut out stuff? [20:41] acicula: that is why i'm trying to find out, but your question makes me wonder whether it's possible--and if it isn't, that's not my underlying problem [20:41] p0e: you needed to run chmod first, if you set cron to run the script without adding executable rights to it it won't run [20:42] how do i remove it from crontab -l [20:42] p0e: crontab -e [20:42] p0e unless you're talking to someone in particular, this channel has a 0-line memory [20:42] see I'm wondering if even though noscript is supposedly disabled if it might still be interfering/it might be the cause of my flash not beeing recognized.1 reason I say this is the way I had it set up {noscript} I had to click on a noscript icon within the flashplayer itself in order for the player to work aeon-ltd [20:42] hmm? [20:43] Nollog: well yeah it does, but most importantly its not exactly the same as ubuntu as far as i know [20:43] is there a way to trim down ubuntu? [20:43] Ok. I'll try again later. [20:43] !minimal | Sj4m35-15 [20:43] Sj4m35-15: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:43] Sj4m35-15: short of disk space? [20:43] faron: it won't interfere if its disabled, definitly [20:43] i already have mint installed. [20:43] Losha: yes [20:43] !mintsupport | Sj4m35-15 [20:44] Sj4m35-15: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:44] Sj4m35-15: so how much space do you have to play with? [20:44] p0e: i have no idea. don't use cron, but i reccommend reading the man pages of crontab [20:44] hmmmmmWell now then I wonder why my flash is not being seen [20:44] aeon: yeh i'm just going to go another route, thanks for the help [20:44] faron: check if its seen by firefox, use about:plugins in the url bar [20:45] if not then install the flashplugin? [20:45] 'I'm certain I do have the latest version [20:45] already done [20:45] Losha: 'bout 8GB [20:45] p0e: found it crontab -e, then just delete the lines. chmod it and rewrite those lines. [20:46] it's installed on a cf-28 toughbook. [20:46] it's being seen but it is telling me it needs update & FF even installed ANOTHER adobe flash too [20:46] faron: crap solution, but did you restart [20:46] Sj4m35-15: that's enough for ubuntu. A fairly full install would take about 5G. You can do it in far less if need be... [20:47] Uhm. This might be a very stupid question but doesn't ubuntu server come with syslog installed per default? [20:47] Can someone tell me where do i find an answer of why my ubuntu could not shut down? it only works manual as in button :) [20:47] olaa [20:47] ola === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut [20:47] olaaaaaaaaa [20:48] ANTONELA, stop spamming! [20:48] maveas: it does. Is yours not working? [20:48] hello ANTONELA [20:48] How do I access the logs? :S [20:48] hello [20:48] Losha: I want to use the icewm and wdm managers. [20:48] ablais español [20:48] maveas: look in /var/log... [20:48] Losha: how can i accomplish this? [20:48] Sj4m35-15: we cant support mint here [20:48] hello [20:48] Can someone tell me where do i find an answer of why my ubuntu could not shut down? it only works manual as in button :) [20:49] serverduck: syslog may provide someinsights [20:49] Hellooo [20:49] yeah aeon-ltd I'm looking at addons right now & after new version install..........I now have shockflash 10.0 r45 AND shoclflash 0.4.12 [20:49] acicula, thank you very much but what file in syslog more exactly? [20:49] acicula: my ubuntu question is how do i change window managers? [20:49] weird [20:49] serverduck: /var/log/syslog [20:49] How do I replace compiz/metacity from tty? [20:49] Sj4m35-15: install the package for the window manager and select it at the login screen [20:49] arand: you cant replace window managers from tty [20:50] Sj4m35-15: sorry, but to get an answer in here you must pretend you are using Ubuntu... [20:50] from a pts console will work though? [20:50] acicula: can i also change the login sceens? [20:50] Does anyone have any experience with iwatch and/or email notifications on directory changes? iwatch seems to require an entire postfix server and I just want to send a freaking smtp email to my existing server [20:50] Thanks Losha [20:50] faron: you should just have shockwave flash 10.0 r45 [20:50] Losha: i'm using one. [20:50] Sj4m35-15: gdm is responsible for starting wms/desktop environments [20:50] Do someone know if i can send popup message to someone on my wlan connected ? i want to scare my neighbour [20:50] acicula: can i also change the login manager? [20:51] serverduck: what WM/DE? [20:51] (+r) - you need to be identified with services [20:51] Sj4m35-15: for kdm/xdm yeah [20:51] !register > coldhost [20:51] coldhost, please see my private message [20:51] anyone has any idea how to register in this irc server? [20:51] maybe others, but best to google howto customize those things [20:51] acicula, i'm a beginner user don't know exactly what to look for and some things from the log sounds chinese yet to me. [20:51] acicula: i'm trying to do a complete strip down of ubuntu. [20:51] thx [20:51] yeah aeon-ltd that's what I had until after the upgrade of Firefox [20:51] aeon-ltd, i didn't understand the question [20:52] Sj4m35-15: that's alright then (rolls eyes). Have you tried just doing sudo apt-get install icewm wdm ? [20:52] Sj4m35-15: thats cool, but that will require some work [20:52] acicula: like a minimal system. [20:52] Sj4m35-15: it's easier to start from the minimal install and build up [20:52] serverduck: im sorry what problem were you trying to fix again? [20:52] Sj4m35-15: what jrib said... [20:53] serverduck: what WindowManager/DesktopEnvironment [20:53] jrib: i already have the damn thing installed. [20:53] i've created a .html file which contains text in norwegian which contains 3 "special" letters (æøå), when i open the .html file with firefox the letters won't display correctly. if i open a http://vg.no, which is a norwegian newspaper then the letters display perfect, so for some reason firefox can not display the 3 letters when i open the .html file localy. im running ubuntu 9.04 (english). does anyone know how i can solve this proble [20:53] Sj4m35-15: stripping beyond removing unused packages will quickly break a system, consider a distribution more suited for what you want? [20:53] hi, does someone know how to force apt to ignore an unmet dependency? in the aim of working around: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msmtp/+bug/525375 [20:53] acicula, well i wanted to turn off my laptop because i had to go to work and it would't turn of...the ubuntu logo white was staying on my black screen [20:53] Sj4m35-15: so what? Install takes like 15 minutes [20:53] serverduck: ah right [20:53] serverduck: does suspend or hibernate work? [20:53] acicula, and i want to know why it failed to shut down and how to fix it...so in the future i will not have this problem again [20:53] acicula: ok...let me rephrase the "ubuntu" question again. [20:53] purpleidea: use equivs or rebuild the package in question. I didn't click your bug but make sure you know what you are doing... [20:54] acicula, didn't tried..only logout [20:54] acicula, logout works [20:54] serverduck: can you try? [20:54] jrib: i read about equivs, however i wasn't too sure how to get this going. [20:54] acicula: how can i boot an .iso image using the grub menu? [20:54] acicula, shure i will be right back with an answer [20:54] Sj4m35-15: you can not boot an iso file directly from grub [20:55] acicula: what kind of medium can i boot from the grub menu? [20:55] jrib: it seems "obsolete" [20:55] purpleidea: why do you want msmtp-gnome? [20:55] Sj4m35-15: well thats not entirely true, its possible to boot an iso fs i suppose but is never used and quite impractical [20:55] jrib: to send my root emails out, etc... [20:55] Sj4m35-15: to boot you need a kernel and a root file system the kernel has filesystem drivers for [20:56] purpleidea: so just install msmtp or ssmtp [20:56] and an init program for the kernel to run [20:56] the linux kernel anyway [20:56] Sj4m35-15: may i recommend you have a look at www.linuxfromscratch.org [20:56] acicula: can i boot a cd-rom from grub? [20:56] jrib: currently using ssmtp, but wanted to use msmtp-gnome for the keyring support [20:56] Sj4m35-15: hmm, probably not [20:56] plus ssmtp is dead an unmaintaned. [20:56] Sj4m35-15: why would you want to, you can just boot the cd straight from the bios [20:57] is there a way to set a different wallpaper for each display? [20:57] purpleidea: if I were in your shoes, I would see what's the current status of msmtp upstream, in lucid, and then based on that information possibly decide to rebuild the source package with updated dependencies. [20:57] !source > purpleidea [20:57] purpleidea, please see my private message [20:57] gnome seems to want to split the wallpaper choice across both windows [20:57] dijital1: if you have expaned your display to multiple screens then you have to make a custom wallpaper [20:57] acicula: that's the problem i can't boot from bios. [20:57] acicula: metacity DISPLAY :0 --replace &disown did it perfectly, lucky I got lynx installed :) [20:58] arand: cool, i did not know that :) [20:58] acicula: it's an cf-28 toughbook. [20:58] acicula: ok [20:58] jrib: i do know about apt-get source, thanks :) [20:58] guys what is the proper way to use static DNS servers in Ubuntu 9.10 Server? [20:59] jrib: i'll check that out... i have no problem building from source, but i'm not super familiar in rebuilding and making packages... [21:00] how can i do an install without the cd-rom or usb device? [21:00] purpleidea: that's what the link is for. Note it's a good idea to do « dch -i » (increment the version number) and append something like "~purpleidea1" to the version string when you make your own changes to a package [21:00] grempus: modify /etc/resolv.conf ? [21:00] it gets overwritten [21:00] What do I do to get a Debian server to start xfce4 at boot with automatic login? [21:00] marsje: #debian for debian support [21:00] i've created a .html file which contains text in norwegian which contains 3 "special" letters (æøå), when i open the .html file with firefox the letters won't display correctly. if i open a http://vg.no, which is a norwegian newspaper then the letters display perfect, so for some reason firefox can not display the 3 letters when i open the .html file localy. im running ubuntu 9.04 (english). does anyone know how i can solve this proble [21:00] jrib: okay i'll check it out more... cheers [21:00] Yo yo yo [21:01] Sj4m35-15: Only if the iso support s being booted from a file. [21:01] acicula, did you get my message? [21:01] What do I do to get a Ubuntu server to start xfce4 at boot with automatic login? [21:01] grempus: overwritten? by what? [21:01] kristian_: you need to define your doctype [21:01] Marsje: if you wanted a desktop, why did you install server? [21:01] I don't know [21:01] * marsje is really using an Ubuntu server, butthe folks in #ubuntu-server don't respond.. [21:01] it just gets changed back to blank after a while [21:02] I guess some process is doing it [21:02] ActionParsnip: I want a server but some server-like app requires X [21:02] kristian_: er, not doctype, content type. [21:02] !who | grempus [21:02] grempus: 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 :) [21:02] acicula, and i have a tray icon i have never seen before says something like session active not inhibited screen idle..if you see this text your display server is broken [21:02] in the head, you can put something like this : [21:02] guntbert: sorry [21:02] ActionParsnip: it needs to run 24/7, fully automatic, no monitor connected to it [21:02] guntbert: I'm not sure what is overwriting it, it just happens occasionally [21:02] grempus: np - only I may miss your answers :-) [21:02] Marsje: then install desktop, you haven't got anything extra by installing a desktop on the server install [21:03] grempus: are you using dhcp? [21:03] guntbert: no, in interfaces I have it specified as static [21:03] lezioni di vita [21:03] hello....... when I edit properties in the Remote Deskptop control panel... what exact file in /etc does that edit? [21:03] how to boot up a WinXP to install as partition on my currently Ubuntu laptop [21:03] grempus: strange - please ask in #ubuntu-server - or read https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/networking.html [21:04] Akkernight: there isn't a particularly easy way to do that since Windows doesn't recognize ext partitions [21:04] grempus: I can't even boot the WinXP cd? [21:04] Akkernight: you can boot it [21:05] Akkernight: maybe you could just run windows in ubuntu using virtualbox? [21:05] how can I install win7 on virtualbox ose in ubuntu 9.10? I got a weird error message in Windows files extracting part.. [21:05] Akkernight: but when you install it, it will ignore your Linux partitions [21:05] back again, sorry, battery decided it had done its duty [21:05] Akkernight: and it won't keep your boot manager [21:05] guntbert: ahhh thanks fixed it I think [21:05] grempus: I only need to play one game, Mortal Online, and that's it :P a VM can't handle that [21:06] grempus: won't keep GRUB 2? [21:06] bsod1: try #vbox ( or ##windows) please [21:06] Akkernight: indeed. Although VirtualBox is adding DirectX support now [21:06] Akkernight: if you wnat to dual boot with windows, windows should be installed first [21:06] grempus: care to tell me how you fixed it? [21:06] yoyoned: well, that's too late [21:07] guntbert: I think I had an error in my interfaces file [21:07] at least it didn't quite look like the one on that page you linked to guntbert [21:07] Anyone know of a chat room for linux nubs? [21:08] guntbert: it usually blank out after a couple hours so I'll let you know [21:08] can anyone here give me sudgestions on how to repair a server that's coming up with "wrong kernel for CPU"? I have a server sitting @ a site location with UNTRAINED staff that I need them to repair to remotley [21:08] so GRUB 2 can't boot the WinXP? [21:08] grempus: ah - that would explain it ... sometimes small differences play big roles [21:08] jeeves_Moss: what ubuntu version? Did it ever work? [21:08] Akkernight: grub2 can boot winxp. [21:08] Akkernight, maybe this is relevant => http://lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_link.php?rid=132936 [21:08] Akkernight: are you just trying to install windows on your computer alongside ubuntu? [21:08] guntbert: thanks! now I can ping google lol [21:08] jeeves_Moss: Is it a 32 bit machine? [21:09] grempus: np - have fun :) [21:09] jrib, I think it's 8.1, and yes, it was working fine untill some one "rebooted" it. It's a 23 bit system running a celeron M CPU [21:09] how do you get a grub legacy on ubuntu actually ? (let's say Jaunty) [21:09] lullabud: yes [21:09] what is this "session active, not inhibited screen idle.If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor. Please see.....blogs.gnome.org/......" [21:09] ola [21:09] lullabud: thanks i will give it a shot, didn't think about that. ;-) [21:09] melodie_: What are you actually trying to accomplish? [21:09] teste [21:09] jeeves_Moss: is that the actual message verbatim? [21:09] Akkernight: use gparted to resize your existing partitions, leave a big blanks space. [21:09] hello [21:09] buenas noches a todos [21:09] Jordan_U, trial-boot [21:09] Jordan_U, we've tried booting from a live CD and trying to reinstall the new kernel, but accorsding to the staff, it dosn't work. So, I need a solid plan on how to give them a "step by step" answer [21:09] buenas noches [21:10] boot winxp cd, create a partition in the blank space, install [21:10] I don't try I did it but I got rid of grub on ubuntu [21:10] !es| Linuxero_Novato2 [21:10] Linuxero_Novato2: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:10] jreb_, one sec, I'll get thier e-mail [21:10] jeeves_Moss: did you tell them to check if older kernels are available at the grub prompt? [21:10] thanks [21:10] Jordan_U, I would have liked to have grub 1 on the Ubuntu partition to make a nice chainloader, additionnally I would have liked it with a grub splash [21:11] jrib, yes, I tried to get them to do that, and they said the grub menu dosn't come up. (personally, I think thats a "load" of BS) [21:11] hallo zusammen [21:11] melodie_: Why grub legacy specifically? [21:11] jeeves_Moss: even pressing ESCAPE? [21:11] http://www.e-castig.com/index.php?r=HzkN win free laptop or iphone! [21:11] jeeves_Moss: Tell them to hold shift during boot. [21:11] jrib, apparently. one sec, and I'll pastebin the e-mail [21:11] kristian_: that should do the trick. i just did a bunch of chinese, korean and japanese php code and that worked for all of what i was doing. [21:12] Jordan_U: if it's 8.10, it's using older grub [21:12] lullabud: I have a ext4 partition and a extended... What should I do? [21:12] Are there any good OCR programs for Ubuntu? Ive tried gocr-tk , ocrad, Tesseract OCR, but the text is all mangled up [21:12] jrib: Ahh, missed that it was 8.10. === Only`speak`engli is now known as pretty`girl [21:12] Jordan_U, exactly [21:12] Jordan_U: though he said "think", so that may not be a bad thing to try [21:12] Akkernight: if there's no empty space, just resize down your ext4 partition. leave about 20+gb for windows. [21:12] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ca/1836013 [21:12] hello, I'm looking for a better photo manager than F-Spot, anyone?

(not sure if its in the repos though) [21:13] rlopez12: doesn't picasa have a native app in linux that's pretty good? [21:13] what is this "session active, not inhibited screen idle.If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor. Please see.....blogs.gnome.org/......" [21:13] haha :D [21:13] jeeves_Moss: what happens if they use an i386 disk? [21:13] jrib, apparently, they had tried using a 32bit disk and tried to recover the system [21:13] lullabud: I can't just resize... It won't let me and doesn't that mean I'd loose data [21:14] jeeves_Moss: also "bantu" doesn't insipre me with great confidence [21:14] jrib, lol, neither do I, but I kinda need this box up and running. [21:14] Akkernight: yeah, if it's not letting you resize then you can't do it from where you're at without losing data. you may have to boot to the ubuntu livecd so that the partitions aren't mounted. [21:14] lullabud: thanks it worked! :-) [21:14] jrib, I was in the middle of doing a remote rsync of ~160Gb of data over the past month [21:14] Akkernight: you can't resize mounted partitions, and if gparted is running from the partition you're resizing it won't let you umount that [21:15] kristian_: awesome :) [21:15] jeeves_Moss: The default download for Ubuntu server is 64 bit give them a direct link to the correct iso. [21:15] ekce: I've tried it, but it's just the windows version using wine. [21:15] Jordan_U, I know this is a 32bit system (it's actully the manager's old laptop, and it's a celeron-M CPU) [21:15] jeeves_Moss: "kernal?" [21:16] jeeves_Moss: Yes, but they downloaded the wrong "bantu" iso. [21:16] mneptok, lol, I know, I know. they're accountants, not IT people [21:16] jeeves_Moss: So give them a direct link to the 32 bit version. [21:17] Jordan_U, do you have a link to the correct ISO? and once they've got that, what are the steps to get her running on the right kernel? [21:17] jeeves_Moss: then they should not be installing the system. go on-site. [21:17] celeron-M, as in the stripped version of a dotham mobile ? [21:17] Are there any good OCR programs for Ubuntu? Ive tried gocr-tk , ocrad, Tesseract OCR, but the text is all mangled up [21:17] acicula, lol, it's a laptop. Don't ask. their old DL380G1 died, and I was scrambling for parts [21:17] jeeves_Moss: I don't think it's possible that the wrong kernel is installed now that I think of it... [21:18] Jordan_U, I had found a "howto" for repair, [21:18] seanbrystone: that's all I know of [21:18] jeeves_Moss: i think the 20th century just called and are demanding their hardware back :) [21:18] jeeves_Moss: if it does over 800 it should work ok, but does it have enough mem still? [21:18] seanbrystone: vuescan has ocr-feature, not sure how good it is [21:18] jrib, ok well maybe it's just a setting that I need to poke around in, thanks. [21:18] acicula, lol, I've got the old DL380G1 propping up the LCD screen on the end of my bench @ the shop [21:18] acicula, the laptop that's there right now is a 1.6 with 4Gb of RAM [21:18] you want you the partition that will be mounted as / to be primary, and not logical correct? [21:19] llutz its not in the repos ill see if theres a .deb or something thanks :) [21:19] seanbrystone: non free soft, hamrick.com [21:19] k thanks [21:19] jeeves_Moss: oh thats not a dotham oldie then, thats not even halfbad [21:19] acicula, lol, and the DL380G1 is a dual 950Mhz, 4gb of RAM, and 4x36.6Gb 15K SCSI disks [21:19] seanbrystone: evernote OCR's your pictures that you add to it... [21:19] jeeves_Moss: I don't see how they could possibly install a 64 bit kernel. Can you have them boot *without any CD in the drive at all* and take a picture of the error message? [21:20] jeeves_Moss: that celeron may just as well run a 64bit kernel [21:20] jeeves_Moss: If you really don't trust them tell them to have the tray open and visable in the picture :) [21:20] acicula, I know it's a 32bit box. [21:20] the dual 950Mhz or the celron? [21:20] Jordan_U, lol, or just fly to Traverse city Michigan and do it myself! [21:21] the one that's hooped and needs to be up is the celeron, and I KNOW it's a 32bit install! [21:21] I look at localhost:8000 a lot as I develop sites on my ubuntu machine. I want to access subdomains of localhost now... and I just want all subdomains to work - i don't want to have to enter records for **every** subdomain [21:21] lullabud, ok ill try evernote too, i already have an account with them too :) [21:21] jeeves_Moss: pretty sure the proc can handle 64bit though [21:21] jeeves_Moss: I think the real error when booting from the hard drive has nothing to do with 32 vs 64 bit. I think they are just confusing the message from the liveCD with the one from the hard drive. [21:21] jeeves_Moss: what are you trying to do anyway? [21:22] does anyone know if using NFS Network shares work over internet? [21:22] acicula, the "error msg" is what comes up after tey rebooted it (for some strange reason concidering it had been running fine for the past 2 years) [21:22] or just locally? [21:22] jeeves_Moss: whats the error? [21:22] acicula, I'm trying to rescue the system [21:22] I installed xubuntu on an external USB hdd. I can boot it from my internal drive's grub but its own grub won't load. How do I reinstall it? [21:22] http://pastebin.ca/1836013 [21:22] acicula, http://pastebin.ca/1836013 [21:22] red: they work over the internet just fine [21:22] red: its not recommended or safe however [21:23] Hi guys, does anyone of you know tomcat's location in Ubuntu Server 9.10 ? Is it /usr/share/tomcat6 ? [21:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 <-- i'm trying to follow this guide to set up a home network between my laptop and a windows machine. however, the two machines are on the same router so they share the same IP address. is that a problem? also, will this configuration share things through the router (local intranet) instead of the internet? the purpose of this connection is supposed to be to send files between the two machines without using up [21:23] our bandwidth (we have a bandwidth cap) so it needs to go over the router... [21:23] joaojeronimo: its spread across several locations, use dpkg-query -S or -L to find out [21:23] thanks acicula :) [21:23] jeeves_Moss: I don't think that it's worth troubleshooting further untill you see a picture of the laptop with its CD tray open and the *real* error on the screen. [21:24] !grub | andai [21:24] andai: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[21:24] what* [21:24] ty [21:24] Jordan_U, can't I just get them to boot from a 32bit live CD, replace the kernel with the proper "detected" one (preferably from the live on-line repo, then get them to reboot it? [21:24] jeeves_Moss: imnottechsupport, whats the hardware error :P [21:25] PFA: the two machines shouldn't have the same ip. if you are using a internet tool to check your ip it will show the ip if the router, not the machine] [21:25] acicula, I think it's an "I" "D" ten "t" error [21:25] has anyone installed Hamachi in Ubuntu Server successfully ? I installed it and it runs fine, no errors... but it logs out almost every 5 minutes... [21:25] yoyoned: so how do i find out my computer's IP? and again, will this share traffic through the router :T [21:25] jeeves_Moss: I don't think the problem is with the kernel at all frankly, and I want to see the current state of things before they do who knows what in /boot [21:25] jeeves_Moss: hehe [21:26] uh not traffic, files, sorry [21:26] Jordan_U, well, my options are limited. you know how accountants are. [21:26] jeeves_Moss: You can't get them to take one picture with the CD tray open? [21:26] what is this "session active, not inhibited screen idle.If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor. Please see.....blogs.gnome.org/......" [21:26] jeeves_Moss: I think it would clear things up a *lot* [21:27] Jordan_U, I can't even get them to rotate the damn 2.5" USB backup drive! [21:27] jeeves_Moss: without the error when booting from the hd there is really no telling what is wrong [21:27] PFA: on your windows machine type in the commandline: ipconfig and on the ubuntu machine you type ifconfig [21:27] ola [21:27] PFA: the trafic will not go through the router.

[21:27] acicula, I know there is nothing in the drive or plugged into it. this error the bean counter is reporting is actully the error on the screen [21:28] jeeves_Moss: How do you know there is nothing in the CDROM drive?

Enjoy your stay! [21:28] they're not that stupid, and I asked them [21:28] hi [21:28] jeeves_Moss: then somehow it switched to 64bit ? [21:29] lullabud, I tried Evernote for the OCR but im not seeing a setting for it. What do i do? [21:29] acicula, I have no idea. as I said, I'm not impressed they friggen rebooted it [21:29] Hi everybody! I have a problem with some usb device recognition (Acer Aspire laptop) in 9.10, which slows down the whole system a lot. Where should I ask for help? What to do? [21:29] jeeves_Moss: im not sure 32bit ubuntu will even install a 64bit kernel if you ask it too [21:29] someones been doing something, heh [21:30] how do I install Gnome in Kubuntu? [21:30] acicula, well, if we reinstall a 32bit kernel, it won't break anything, right? [21:30] jeeves_Moss: well not likely no [21:30] winXPuser: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [21:30] winXPuser: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [21:30] what is this "session active, not inhibited screen idle.If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor. Please see.....blogs.gnome.org/......" [21:30] acicula, well, if it gets the damn system off the ground, and I can shell into it, then I'm FURTHER ahead than I am now, correct? [21:31] jeeves_Moss: yes [21:31] ciaoooooooooooooooo [21:31] jeeves_Moss: cram in a bootcd and chroot into the system and run some updates and fix the kernel?

[21:31] jeeves_Moss: chrooting into the system [21:31] jeeves_Moss: If port forewarding is already setup I say have them boot the liveCD, run "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" and do the rest yourself. [21:31] list [21:31] well mount the essentials first [21:32] yeah Jordan_U 's idea is even better [21:32] !list | alessandro_ [21:32] alessandro_: This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[21:32] !list [21:32] jeeves_Moss: I can also make you a GRUB2 boot CD that will list all of the installed kernels with a menu to choose between them. [21:32] does any Ubuntu Greek chat exists? [21:32] Jordan_U, I forget, how do I get them into shell again from the boot? [21:33] My hibernate suspend and shutdown don't work...what do i do now?:D [21:33] !terminal | jeeves_Moss [21:33] jeeves_Moss: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

( the server install is harder to get to a terminal from and easier to acidentily do something wrong ) [21:33] Guys, anybody can help me here?

[21:34] jeeves_Moss: There is no easy way, single user mode won't get you networking for instance. === MJ94 is now known as Guest72080 [21:35] acicula, ok, here's hoping the bean counters can follow instructions. [21:35] richthegeek, dell just bought it 2009 [21:35] Jordan_U, if I can get in, then I can play [21:35] it points me to this link http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ [21:35] jeeves_Moss: gl :) [21:35] jeeves_Moss: Would you like a grub iso that will list all installed kernels? [21:35] is there any way to install from within an install? I know most packages needed for the install are removed after the install. [21:35] And it sais that my display server is broken. [21:35] serverduck: ok... in the BIOS there should be an S1/S3 switch in suspend type [21:35] What is this? [21:35] (to another drive obv) [21:35] My Acer Aspire 5670 laptop has some problem with recognizing some usb device (probably a webcam?) dmesg says it probes it, but in vain. It keeps cycling, and slows down everything. What should I do? [21:35] go for the highest number (or any combo of numbers) [21:36] Jordan_U, it did have that @ one point. We had an intern working here who I think hooped it. I remember that I had to do a LOT of package repairs (the kid was found of installing from source) [21:36] jeeves_Moss: I'm the maintainer of super grub2 disk so I already have it pretty much setup ( and can make it so there are no other options ) [21:36] heh, <3 source [21:37] richthegeek, the link that the tray icon provides is not very helpfull for me since i can not do anything to repair my gnome power manager..i'm not an advanced user [21:37] Jordan_U, lol, once I'm done with this office in Michigan, they won't have a server sitting there! it'll be in my server room ~ 20' from my office. [21:37] Quick question: installed ubuntu netbook remix & CCSM, upped display effects, enabled desktop cube & rotate cube & wallpapers, upped # of desktops in general, added images under wallpapers... no background images appear apart from the default brown. Any ideas? ('show desktop' was already deselected under gconf>apps>nautilus) [21:38] Jordan_U, all I know is that if you give a bean counter a laptop, they'll have it hooped in ~2 weeks. [21:38] jeeves_Moss: I meant that it would be used as a solution for this problem that is easy on their end. [21:38] Jordan_U, so, I'm thinking everything will be through term services on a Win 2K8 RDP farm [21:39] Jordan_U, I would love a simple download/burn/reboot from disk/auto fix, but I don't think that's going to happen [21:39] jeeves_Moss: If it's really a kernel problem then booting an older kernel should work. [21:39] anyone knows if it's possible to use partimage to restore an image from a network ? [21:40] If I set up a Linux box as a gateway and router, would PowerMac PC and MacBook Pro computers have issues? [21:40] Jordan_U, lol, if they come back with "I can't boot to the CD", we'll try that next [21:40] mnaines: no [21:40] it's probably better to try and use the livecd PING to do a network image [21:40] gerrrrr i need to find out if its possible to run cipher AES-256-CBC AND DES-CBC simultaneously on openvpn [21:41] Guys, I have a problem I wish to investigate with you [21:41] !ask | thiagovfar [21:41] thiagovfar: 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).

[21:42] mnaines: broken tcp/ip on macs? stylish crap, blame apple :) [21:42] haven't tried yet, I'm on it [21:42] llutz, would I have that issue if I use a Linux box as a gateway router? [21:42] ash30: what are you trying to stop probing? that will give me an idea of the module [21:43] oops, how do I know the "mod name"? [21:43] mnaines: you shouldn't [21:43] its smth using ehci, probably an integral laptop webcam [21:43] ash30: tell me the hardware, and I'll get that for you. also, what is the problem? [21:43] is there a help room for Thunderbird? [21:43] llutz, could it be due to the "autosensing" feature on the LAN ports? [21:43] also, removing ehci_hcd is an INCREDIBLY bad idea [21:44] (especially if you hit enter after the rmmod command...) :) [21:44] jeeves_Moss: I need to leave, if you decide to use it it's here: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/list_kernels_bootcd.iso [21:44] I am trying to run a Left 4 Dead 2 dedicated server, which runs nicely, if i use a terminal. The problem is when i use terminal multiplexers, for remote access, like TMUX SCREEN or even DTACH: It's respose time is increased by ~40 seconds. Does anyone has any ideia of what is the cause of it? [21:44] it's acer aspire 5670, the problem it cycles endlessly through probing, turning on and off that unrecognized device, slowing down the system [21:44] kothz:amen [21:44] mnaines: i don't know, sorry [21:44] jeeves_Moss: It won't work if /boot is on a separate partition. [21:44] Jordan_U, thanks. I'll keep it for later [21:44] Quick question: installed ubuntu netbook remix & CCSM, upped display effects, enabled desktop cube & rotate cube & wallpapers, upped # of desktops in general, added images under wallpapers... no background images appear apart from the default brown. Any ideas?

[22:08] will try to bot from USB, thx [22:08] !patience | brando753 [22:08] brando753: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [22:08] it boots, but when any time i give install ubuntu it restarts [22:08] why? [22:08] mezquitale: I have been here for 5 days [22:09] Zenker: not 64bit but otherwise the same [22:09] brando753, try the forum, if no one answers in the forum - then file a bug report [22:09] I can't see questions that happened before I logged in :) So, ask again... go to the forums... [22:09] er, what he said [22:10] apostacy:ok [22:10] kothz how do I unplug some not working device? Constant probing of it slows down the system. [22:11] hi guys, i just downloaded and burned ubuntu on a cd [22:11] it boots, but when any time i give install ubuntu it restarts [22:11] why? [22:11] ash30: is it being associated with a driver? [22:11] norbert did you check disk integrity? [22:11] trism maybe im missing something, heres what i am doint, i am r-clickin on the application button. then clicking on edit menus, then i navigate to where say blender is, clicking on blender then on properties, then on the icon pic thats showin, navigating to the blender folder wthe icons (i even double checked to make sure theyre there) and it shows nothing [22:12] kothz I don't know. It's sitting on ehci, so it's probably an integral webcam [22:12] in my vlc player i try to save a playlist to my desktop or my home folder, but after i click save nothing is saved [22:12] how can I see if my CPU is 32 or 64 bit [22:12] Stargaze, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [22:12] Integrated, maybe. Integral? Never. :) Webcams aren't that important. :) [22:13] Hello. Does anybody know why when I run vncserver and connect to it, the wrong letters are used when I type? [22:13] trism but if i create a launcher on the desktop the icons show just fine [22:13] Zenker: very odd, I am doing the exact same thing [22:13] ash30>:and the device is?! Do you have more information about this device you're talking about? [22:14] kothz integral, of course. Its constant probing slows down the system a lot, so I'd like to "unplug" it somehow [22:14] barbarella where do I get info to identify the device? [22:14] is that a problem if i try to boot the install in dual display mode? [22:14] using cat /proc/cpuinfo, what line is important to see if my PC is 32 or 64 bit? [22:15] ash30:oeps...sory didn't read [22:15] How do you know that ehci is trying to grab it? [22:15] (sorry, to ash30) [22:15] ash30:a webcam is it? [22:15] Stargaze, start with the "model name" then you can google if it's 64 or not, what is the model name? [22:15] brando753, maybe this page is any help > see the parallel-part > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems [22:15] kothz: used dmesg and it's logged [22:15] Stargaze there is prob an easier way but type this link in firefox to find if your comp is 32 or 64 whichever google selects is your cpu [22:16] Stargate http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html [22:16] nigelnigel, if you install 32bit Ubuntu on a 64bit cpu that isn't going to help [22:16] barbarella I'm not sure, but what else could... don't know [22:16] Zenker: did you create the menu entry yourself? if so it will probably be in ~/.local/share/applications named alacarte-something-something.desktop, and you could try editing that file directly to set the Icon location to an absolute path [22:16] trism yes [22:16] ash30:lsusb -vv [22:16] ZykoticK9: its not going to hurt much either === _Signal360_ is now known as Signal360 [22:17] barbarella sure, I'm on it [22:17] How can I get hald-addon-stor to leave /dev/hd{c,d} alone? [22:17] ash30:if it goes to fast try lsusb -vv |more [22:17] trism i installed blender 2.49 b by extracting it to a folder and tested it with the ./ command [22:17] nigelnigel: that site reads user-agent info of the running system, not the cpu-status [22:17] the boot loader of ubuntu gives you usualy 10 seconds to choose which OS you wana start with .. how can I make this timing much longer ? [22:18] i also cannot change the icon if i pin it to the panel [22:18] name [22:18] my vlc player for linux isnt saving my playlists when i try to [22:18] hello room [22:18] nice apparently /me has a 64 bit PC :) [22:18] awardedzero hi [22:19] nigelnigel:security issues? [22:19] i installed java but websites say i dont have it installed how do i remedy this [22:19] barbarella i dont know im new to linux [22:19] Now I understand why the performance of all my block devices is always so low. It's all these daemons hammering them all the time. [22:19] awardedzero: do you installed jre plugin¿¿ [22:20] barbarella that's a lot of stuff in lsusb output, what should I look at specifically? [22:20] barbarella but when i click save it seems to be approved then i check and no playlist has been saved [22:20] Norbert? [22:20] go to plug ins not there [22:20] devdz, change "GRUB_TIMEOUT=" in /etc/default/grub and run 'update-grub' afterwards [22:21] anyone else had problems saving playlists with vlc on linux [22:22] Norbert before you install Ubuntu you need to fix partitions [22:22] when web site tells me in need to install plug ins it takes me to the plug ins i need to download it tells me that i already have them [22:22] awardedzero, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [22:23] will try [22:23] anyone knows how to install grub to boot up windows only? [22:23] ash30:depends on the device you are looking for, try to unplug everything and enable one by one, see what happens [22:23] hi can someone help me? i have a problem [22:23] mezquitale: So you want grub installed, but not linux? [22:23] Sylphid|netbook, Thank you! [22:24] junaid we are all users like yourself just type your answer in is your best bet [22:24] EPAstor, I'll install ubuntu later, right now I restored my windows partition to a different drive and want to boot up to windows [22:24] nigelnigel:try to look at the vlc-log and see what is going wrong [22:25] use Grub to boot into windows [22:25] How can I tell what applications are using devkit-disks-daemon over dbus? [22:25] barbarella but it's a laptop, there sit a lot of stuff on usb which cannot be unplugged. lsusb lists not only mouse and keyboard, but also bluetooth module, WiFi, webcam, empty hosts etc. [22:25] my problem is that when watch anything on youtube using flash the video is choppy [22:25] and there is lag in it [22:26] i have a decent computer so i think it shudnt happen [22:26] does anyone kno how i can fix this problem [22:26] mezquitale: makes sense. Sorry, was just curious. Afraid I don't know how to install grub without a linux partition around... I believe it needs a /boot partition it can read, though I could be wrong. [22:27] ash30:so there is nothing on the usb ports, laptop hase some i think [22:27] junaid: Bad news - Adobe (the people who make Flash) do a notoriously bad job of making their Linux version. Flash on Linux is always touchy. Good news - there are options. First, how did you install flash? [22:27] mezquitale: using external harddrive or usb install won't help that? [22:27] Killing hald-addon-stor* and devkit-disks-da* stopped every thing from pooling my Optical Drives... This made them fast. [22:27] barbarella i have no clue how to read a log im new to linux and programing [22:27] what i did was installed multiverse [22:28] and i got flash with it [22:28] barbarella i guess my best bet is to just reinstall in with the synaptic manager [22:28] trism dang, how do i access root folders again? [22:28] i tried installing it directly from fire fox too but same problem [22:28] barbarella: so, now what? I'm confused. [22:28] nigelnigel:can you save it in /tmp and see what happens? [22:28] junaid: Sure. So - you did this through Synaptic, or through Add/Remove, or through the Software Center? [22:28] barbarella save the playlist in tmp? [22:29] i did it through software centre [22:29] hey guys. I need some help to do my sound card run. anyone can help me? [22:29] nigelnigel:/tmp yes [22:29] barbarella k one sec thanks [22:29] Sorry bout all the joins/parts, i was in #freenode they were helping me find a server for my location :) [22:29] junaid: There are three options in Software Centre - Adobe, Swfdec, and Gnash. Do you know which? [22:29] i used adobe [22:30] Heya, anyone got tips for this: I made a samba share folder, and added two symlinks there (different folders I want to appear at the share) [22:30] now i can see the share perfectly from another pc, but the added symlink folders dont appear and if i manually type them into adress row it says access denied [22:30] so its there but no rights [22:30] guys, i am a web developer, do you recommend me to get started with ubuntu? [22:30] junaid: Okay - you're using the official version. The bad news there is that that means there's probably not much we can do about it... many people have similar problems, and Adobe won't put much effort into fixing it. How much memory does your system have installed? [22:31] red, what are the permissions of the directories you are symlinking to? [22:31] atila1: What sound card do you have? [22:31] rw for owner, read for other groups [22:31] i have 2 GB ram and a AMD dual core [22:31] hmm, i did not restart samba after creating the symlinks, ill test if that helps [22:32] no, that didnt help Sylphid|netbook [22:32] any ideas? [22:32] barbarella i did and no playlist shows up in temp [22:32] norbert before you install Ubuntu see this video how to do: http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8223 [22:32] barbarella in tmp i mean [22:32] junaid: Yeah... sounds like the computer's fine... Flash is generally just extremely bad on Linux, and Adobe isn't terribly helpful. Sorry... I'm out of ideas. Anyone else have ideas as to problems with choppy Flash video on YouTube? === ryaxnb_ is now known as ryaxnblucid [22:32] red, just making sure i got this right the originals have rw-r--r-- permissions?

Are there any webcam recording apps that allow you to choose res, bitrate and codec and all that good stuff and that actually works? [23:01] den, remove the symbolic link at /bin/sh and make it point at /bin/bash instead [23:01] how can i run a .run file??? [23:01] den, bash will then run in bourne shell compatible mode, but it's not 100% bourne compatible [23:02] Ok, you've got pngs, Zenker? [23:02] dlynes thank you i found them :) [23:02] Aw man... [23:02] yes they are pngs [23:02] guys please answer pls [23:02] how can i run a .run file [23:02] norbi: make it executable [23:02] dlynes can u tell me the commandS? [23:02] and how? [23:02] norbi: sudo sh filename.run [23:03] i just installed ubuntu [23:03] υπάρχει Ελληνας εδώ; [23:03] norbi: chmod +x file && ./file [23:03] need nvidia driver [23:03] norbi, before you make it executable, what exactly is it? [23:03] egw [23:03] norbi, or do you even know? [23:03] i dont even know what the hell this [23:03] !gr | aptget [23:03] aptget: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [23:03] norbi: use the provided nvidia driver, running the binary package from nvidia will hose your system [23:03] norbi: or whatever nvidia driver is packaged in the repo [23:03] norbi: sudo sh filename.run thats how you run it. [23:03] norbi, i wouldn't suggest running it as an executable if you don't know what it is [23:04] How can I tell gnome-settings-daemon to stop trying to start and/or connect to pulseaudio? [23:04] it is a driver from nvidia.com [23:04] Is it regular that extertnal drives got SATA weireing? or do they just use IDE? [23:04] it opens in gedit [23:04] even if im writing in terminal sudo sh ... [23:04] NoOutlet i will be awk for about 5 mins (potty break) [23:04] How can I change the sound system in gnome? [23:04] Well, you can right click on "Applications" select "Edit Menus", click on the menu whose icon you'd like to change, click Properties, click on the large icon on the left. That will show you the icons you can choose from in the default folder for Application icons. However, you can type in the address of any .png file you have and then choose that. [23:05] lekefly: if its an eSATA drive then yes it will be sata. IDE ain sued so much anymore. [23:05] Well, when you come back, read that. [23:05] norbi: chmod +x in a console then you can execute it or rightclick the file in nautilus and select the execute bit and double click. But to install the drivers you need root access, and it is really really not advisable to install nvidia drivers this way [23:05] cheako: Preferences, sound. [23:05] i installed my broadcom b43 wireless driver just fine but its not letting me install the broadcom sta one [23:05] LinuxGuy2009: Won't load... waiting for sound system. [23:05] i click activate, password, and nothing [23:05] LinuxGuy2009: its only got firewire 800 and usb.. thinking of taking the drive out.. [23:05] it acts like its loading stuff but does nothing [23:05] then can you tell me please how to install it? this is not to userfriendly [23:05] norbi: have you tried enabling the binary drivers via system->administration->hardware drivers [23:06] *too [23:06] does anyone know how to enable broadcom sta wireless driver? [23:06] lekefly: Maybe use the command line to find the drive model and look online to see. [23:06] norbi: ubuntu comes with the drivers, no need to fetch your own from a website, in principle anyway [23:06] my hardware drivers list are empty [23:06] is nothing there [23:06] norbi: what kind of nvidia card do you have [23:06] 7 series [23:07] don`t exactly know [23:07] robert__: Should be in the hardware drivers dialog window. I have a BCM4312 and thats what I used. [23:07] 7200 gs [23:07] or something from 7 series [23:07] holaaaaa desde Peru!!! [23:07] I just installed a fresh ubuntu netbook remix (v9.10). Turned on advanced desktop effects (compiz); installed CCSM; increased the number of desktops to 4; turned on the cube & rotate cube; turned on wallpapers; specified 4 background images; and made sure that apps>nautilus>show desktop was disabled in gconf-editor. No background images appeared save for the original brown ubuntu one. ... [23:07] alguien de CHiclayo? [23:07] ...Switched to desktop wall. Same issue. Any thoughts? [23:07] LinuxGuy2009, but what do i do when i click activate and the b43 does fine and the sta nothing? [23:07] soy nuevo === meowbuntu is now known as its-me-again [23:08] !!HELP PLEASE!! Following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub doesn't work for me. [23:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:08] how do i find the keyid of a particular user using gpg [23:08] robert__: You dont need the b43 most of the time I dont think. Try the STA by itself first. [23:08] so lets try againg please [23:08] here in hardware drivers are nothing listed and nothing that can be enabled [23:08] norbi: yeah im looking === its-me-again is now known as meowbuntu [23:08] robert__: Which model card is it? Its not a 4312 is it? [23:08] LinuxGuy2009, i removed it and the other one still won't activate [23:09] LinuxGuy2009: think its this one.. http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=322613&view=detailed#ProductTabs [23:09] LinuxGuy2009, i don't know [23:09] norbi: 7900gtx/ [23:09] ? [23:09] i dont see anything of what interface it uses inside.. [23:09] hello === ki4cgp is now known as sinistrad [23:09] no it is not 7900 gtx [23:09] Can somebody help with an installation please? [23:09] its a dell inspiron 1545 [23:09] Got a problem with Acer Aspire 5670 laptop on ubuntu 9.10: it's lagging a lot (not like in previous distros I tried). Checked via dmesg, it keeps cycling through probing, turning on and off some device on ehci_hcd. Can anybody help with that? [23:09] it is gs and something smaller than 7900 [23:10] robert__: sudo lshw -C lan [23:10] norbi: k [23:11] norbi: you need to install an older version probably(if at all) from the ubuntu repository, just not sure on which one you need [23:11] LinuxGuy2009, it is 4312 yes [23:11] it asking that to disable the x server, what is that ? the GUI interface? [23:11] i mean the downloaded version. .. [23:11] .run [23:11] yeah [23:11] norbi: again dont use that, it will break your system pretty badly [23:11] ok [23:11] lekefly: Really no way to tell from those specs or just by looking at it. It could be PATA or SATA. Who knows. === meowbuntu is now known as its-me-again [23:11] i cant understand why it will [23:12] if it will then i dont know what to say ... [23:12] !!PLEASE HELP!! I need to recreate a MBR [23:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:12] norbi: because it disregards the package management and blatently overwrites any files it wants to [23:12] robert__: I have the BCM4312 in my Dell Mini 10v and I run 9.04, only need the STA only. [23:12] Got a problem with Acer Aspire 5670 laptop on ubuntu 9.10: it's lagging a lot. Checked via dmesg, it keeps cycling through probing, turning on and off some device on ehci_hcd. Can anybody help with that? [23:12] norbi: so it may break any configuration programs or future upgrades [23:12] LinuxGuy2009, how do i get it activated? [23:12] anyone play openarena? [23:12] robert__: Did you deactivate b43 first? [23:12] PLEASE HELP. I'm facing problems with an installation and I need to reinstall the MBR [23:12] LinuxGuy2009, yes i did [23:13] ok, im trying to give a chance to this, i would really like to use ubuntu, but it is hard like hell for the first time :) [23:13] it looks very unstable [23:13] robert__: Try rebooting and try to do the STA by itself. You running 9.10? [23:13] LinuxGuy2009, yes [23:13] LinuxGuy2009, i'll try that thanks might brb [23:13] norbi: ubuntu is actually extremely easy and requires almost no knowledge to setup and use [23:13] robert__: ok [23:13] norbi: if this is a new install did you update it yet? [23:14] ash30: can you throw up a pastebin of the dmesg output showing the on/off transactions? [23:14] alzamabar: so recreate it. Third party tools might help it. [23:14] now it finished updating [23:14] requires a restart [23:14] kothz: I haven't tried it before, how is it done? [23:14] norbi: try that first and then retry enabling the hardware driver [23:14] ash30: if I knew how to do it I would have already done it. Anything to suggest? I'm following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub but the output is different for me [23:14] i`ll be back in a moment to tickle you guys :p [23:14] basically, in a terminal window, dmesg, then copy that... go to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and paste it :) [23:15] ash30: Especially if I run ls /media/[my-media-label] I don't see the kind of files shown on the website, but rather the disk where I've got Ubuntu installed [23:16] LinuxGuy2009, still the same [23:16] alzamabar: is this with grub2 (ubuntu 9.10) if so, this method works https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [23:17] trism: Yes, it's with GRUB2, Ubuntu 9.10 [23:17] robert__: It may be a bug in 9.10. I dropped it and went back to 9.04 cause of all the crap I had to deal with in 9.10. Works fine in 9.04. [23:17] Hello, I cannot see my ubuntu machine on the network. It is not in the router's DHCP Client's table list, and I also cannot see it from my windows laptop. Samba is installed on the ubuntu machine. Any idea why? [23:17] LinuxGuy2009, it worked fine in the current lucid [23:17] kothz: done, now what? [23:17] paste the URL :) [23:17] why the ubuntu channels LOG is in goole and search engines ??? it not need. I want nobody see my text from google [23:17] robert__: Well lucid isnt karmic. Karmic was buggy as hell. [23:17] everybody serch my nick name [23:17] can see everything is wrote [23:17] Zenker, are you back? Have you tried my advice? [23:18] it's my rights [23:18] LinuxGuy2009, can you believe the current lucid is less buggy than the karmic final product? [23:18] and why ubuntu publish them over the net? [23:18] nashenas: this channel is logged, don't say anything you don't want the world to know [23:18] LinuxGuy2009, you reckon an update would help? [23:18] robert__: Yes because lucid is on it sway to be the next LTS it needs to be more stable. [23:18] robert__: Is it realy? [23:18] kothz: here you are http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/252rzrJm [23:18] jrib: why don't you said it before ? === its-me-again is now known as meowbuntu [23:18] nashenas: Well, it's your right to suffer in silence should you choose :) but if you're here for help, your problems help others :) [23:18] nashenas: read the topic [23:18] oh speaking of which the current lucid looks a lot better, no default brown its orange, purple, and gray [23:18] before I say or asked something in my native channel from everyone ? [23:19] robert__: Karmic was crammed full of new things that made it unpredicatble. But thats so they could work the bugs out for LTS. [23:19] and someone is probably about to scream offtopic so i'll shut up now lol [23:19] trism: http://pastebin.com/Yt7vpGb8 [23:19] bye [23:19] wow [23:19] LinuxGuy2009, oh i see that makes sense [23:19] robert__: Are the window buttons on the left side now like they talked about? [23:19] are there anyway to clear my own logs ? [23:19] also they got money from yahoo to have yahoo as the default search on the home page [23:19] ash30: thanks :) if you type 'lsmod' do you see vc032x listed? [23:19] nashenas: not the public logs, no [23:19] ZykoticK9, Howdy, [23:19] LinuxGuy2009, yes and the x is red [23:20] hmm cool [23:20] jrib: in my native channel ? [23:20] LinuxGuy2009, and the terminal box is purple and transparent [23:20] Am I the only one who thinks that is the stupidest decision ever? lol. [23:20] hareldvd, hi ? [23:20] The buttons on the left, I mean. [23:20] robert__: Funny the purple. [23:20] nashenas: if you own a channel you can prevent logging [23:20] alzamabar: you don't need the installing section, you need the recover from livecd section near the bottom [23:20] nashenas: what do you mean by "native channel"? [23:20] guys im back [23:20] but from my laptop [23:20] and using win 7 because ubuntu wont start up [23:20] I want to thank you again for the SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE variable. It works great. [23:20] LinuxGuy2009, so you'd recommend goin back to 9.04 or 10.04 instead of stayin here? lol [23:21] after the update it restarts again again again again [23:21] again [23:21] again [23:21] norbert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:21] it is annoying [23:21] LinuxGuy2009, or should i try system update [23:21] Well I guess if there is no good solution for video recording and editing then I guess I have 2 choices buy a camcorder or Windows 7. [23:21] jrib: I said in pm [23:21] I'm too scared to try an alpha Linux install. qq [23:22] I'd be scared to own an Alpha these days :) [23:22] ZykoticK9, I want to thank you again for the SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE variable. It works great. [23:22] robert__: You can do whatever you want. Im on 9.04 till 10.04 LTS comes out. I'm staying the hell away from the Koala. [23:22] claptrap, it will be beta at the end of this month or early next month i think [23:22] Have to go. [23:22] robert__: He bites. [23:22] robert__: Yeah, beta I'm a little less scared of. [23:22] LinuxGuy2009, haha funny one [23:22] robert__: Been keeping an eye on the roadmap~ [23:22] hareldvd, glad it's working! [23:22] Thanks man. [23:22] wait [23:22] claptrap, its almost beta so thats good. after alpha 4 is usually pretty stable [23:22] what's wrong with 9.10 ? [23:22] alzamabar: sorry, haven't realize the task before. You don't have to use 3rd party utils. There are simpler ways, just check ubuntu help site, and look for installation procedures description. You'd probably have to reinstall GRUB from some external source, like a flash drive distribution. [23:22] it is a big shit [23:23] 9.10 = koala right ? [23:23] yeah [23:23] yep [23:23] kothz: nope, it's not there [23:23] personally I had no problems with it [23:23] shit i just got it last night x( [23:23] The Koala of Ultimate Karma. [23:23] norbert, watch the language ddrj you too [23:23] ultimate failure on my machine [23:23] LinuxGuy2009, do you think system update might help or am i wasting my time? lol [23:23] im goingto explode here with koala [23:23] oh i think kinky koala sounds better lol [23:23] a lot of people have problems with 9.10? if so i can go to 9.04, i can just redownload it [23:23] ddrj: 9.10 is the latest stable release of ubuntu [23:23] ahhh ok [23:24] ddrj: do you have any problem with it? [23:24] i used ubuntu just for a single boot [23:24] "Stable" being something of an opinion. [23:24] honestly 9.04 is the best distro ever imo [23:24] that was it [23:24] i haven't installed it yet jrip [23:24] Windows drivers didn't fix it either, going to try desktop ubuntu [23:24] robert__: I had all current updates last week for Koala and didnt fix a darn thing. Wouldnt even boot up cause of a bas swap space right after a clean install and updates installed. [23:24] a big one boot, when even a simple driver canot be installed [23:24] claptrap: "stable" as in no unecessary updates... [23:24] now it doesnt boots up [23:24] !enter | norbert [23:24] norbert: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:24] what the hell is wrong with this [23:24] robert__: Among 5-10 other critical bugs. [23:24] kothz: wait, it's right there as "gspca_vc032x" [23:24] LinuxGuy2009, did you have a support question? [23:24] ash30: try adding 'blacklist gspca' and 'blacklist vc032x' to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot when you have a chance [23:25] LinuxGuy2009, if lucid is as good as it is good looking it should be pretty awesome. except the gray, it needs a different border color [23:25] ddrj: 9.10 is the version you should install, come back if you have any issues of course :) [23:25] hehehe ok, i'll just install 9.10 then [23:25] bazhang: No I dont need your help. [23:25] LinuxGuy2009, oh, well thanks anyhow. i'm dumping kinky koala right this second lol [23:25] LinuxGuy2009, then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:25] bazhang: No thanks. I cant help people there. [23:26] kothz: would you remind me which text editor gnome uses? Is it "sudo gedit *" or smth? [23:26] LinuxGuy2009, I have seen no evidence of help. [23:26] bazhang: Good for you. [23:26] bazhang, he helped me [23:26] is there an aptitude equivalent for sudo apt-get auto-remove? [23:26] LinuxGuy2009: this channel is just for support (because it's really busy). So you can help people here and chat at the same time in #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. [23:26] bazhang: I dare say you haven't been paying much attention~ [23:26] ash30: I'm oldschool... sudo vi... :) [23:26] bazhang, he also helped me realize i need to dump kinky koala and go either forward or backward [23:26] guys what can i do now [23:26] jrib: No thanks Im helping people here. Thanks anyways. [23:26] I just installed a fresh ubuntu netbook remix (v9.10). Turned on advanced desktop effects (compiz); installed CCSM; increased the number of desktops to 4; turned on the cube & rotate cube; turned on wallpapers; specified 4 background images; and made sure that apps>nautilus>show desktop was disabled in gconf-editor. No background images appeared save for the original brown ubuntu one... [23:26] ??? [23:26] robert__, its karmic koala [23:27] bazhang, i know that lol [23:27] im staying here looking at the black screen [23:27] LinuxGuy2009: that's fine. But move the non-support talk to #ubuntu-offtopic. Let's move on... [23:27] it looks like windows blue screen [23:27] jrib: Theres been no off-topic thanks. [23:27] It exhibits the same lack of backgroundy goodness with 'desktop wall'. Any thoughts? [23:28] kothz: that' fine, thank you very much. I'll try your advice and report back later. [23:28] Semitones: Move down to the section of packages that are not installed and select purge from the menu. [23:29] LinuxGuy2009: aptitude has a menu? you sure? [23:29] Semitones: aptitude does that automatically when you remove a package [23:29] Semitones: CTL+T in aptitude brings down the menu. Yes. [23:30] why at the boothing this is restarting?? somebody knows the answer?? [23:30] trism: It worked like a clock, thanks. [23:30] oh god [23:30] norbert: what? rephrase your question [23:31] jrib, alright, because I just uninstalled xubuntu-desktop, and I'd like it to remove thurnar, etc [23:31] mneptok: aptitude also has a curses-interface [23:31] it restarts at booting [23:31] alzamabar: excellent! [23:31] Semitones: aptitude will only know what to do if you also installed the package using aptitude I believe [23:31] Semitones: then just "sudo apt-get remove thunar" [23:31] daniskami: yeah, wouldn't know. i use apt exclusively. [23:31] Semitones: You can remove unneeded packages with "sudo apt-get autoremove" === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [23:32] Couldn't open "/home/andy/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied <---- what does that mean? [23:32] jrib, ah ok. I'll just use apt-get to autoremove them -- I think I installed it with synaptic or apt-get [23:32] Semitones: k [23:32] mneptok: oh, you can actually use aptitude with basically the same command-line options as apt-get, so I've been using only aptitude recently :) [23:32] MgMt: "Permission denied" usually means you need to sudo your command, in my experience. [23:32] Semitones: They can all be used interchangably they all do the same stuff in different ways. [23:32] MgMt: means you probably ran stuff with sudo when you shouldn't have. What does this return: ls -ld /home/andy/.config/transmission/lock [23:33] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-03-11 20:21 /home/andy/.config/transmission/lock [23:33] Is there a better channel to discuss backup technologies? [23:33] MgMt: so, have you been running transmission with sudo for some reason? [23:33] redlance: Clonezilla [23:33] MgMt: that makes sense... if you're trying to write to the files, and you're not root (not sudo'ed), you're out of luck :) [23:34] !backups > redlance [23:34] redlance, please see my private message [23:34] it wouldnt let me save torrents to a diff partition cuz of "permissions" so i sudo'd the crap out of it [23:34] redlance: backup in which sense? making a bit-for-bit copy of a volume/partition, or backing up your files? [23:34] I just installed a fresh ubuntu netbook remix (v9.10). Turned on advanced desktop effects (compiz); installed CCSM; increased the number of desktops to 4; turned on the cube & rotate cube; turned on wallpapers; specified 4 background images; and made sure that apps>nautilus>show desktop was disabled in gconf-editor. No background images appeared save for the original brown ubuntu one...... [23:34] ...desktop wall also suffers the same lack of backgrounds... any thoughts? [23:34] MgMt: that's why. chown the files back to your user. After that transmission should work fine. Instead of using sudo, solve the actual permissions issue you had [23:35] I just setup a 9.10 server. Font encoding is utf-8. How do I change the encoding so colon will show as a colon and not a small diamond? [23:35] MgMt, sudo chown andy:users ~/.config/transmission/lock [23:35] I meant hardware technologies, like cd-rom or tape or raid... [23:35] hello guys i am newbie and i am trying to send and receive files from my mobile i am using debian ubuntu and toshiba laptop can someone help me pls ? isearch all over the net and google too i can get it fixed [23:35] kothz: You trying to cycle wallpapers? [23:35] MgMt, sudo chown andy:andy ~/.config/transmission/lock BETTER! [23:35] fofos, debian? [23:35] linuxguy2009: yeah, to set up a different wallpaper for each desktop face [23:35] gnome i mean sry [23:35] gloom: ^u yeah :) [23:36] What does the -r flag on chown do? I see it on pretty much every website that tells me to chown something. [23:36] I just feel like I'm missing something basic :) it's worked on every other installation of ubuntu I've done :) [23:36] bazhang gnome ubuntu 9.10 [23:36] kothz: Oh I dont know anything about that, but package called "drapes" can do that but it shows up on all desktops. [23:36] MgMt: you probably want to check the ownership on any other files that exist in transmission's config directory too [23:36] claptrap: recursive [23:36] claptrap, recursive, meaning everything under that point as well [23:36] kothz: 9.10? [23:36] -R is recursive... does it work with -r too? [23:36] jrib, ZykoticK9 : Got it, thanks. [23:36] LinuxGuy2009: Yup [23:36] jrib how do i do that? [23:37] kothz: Doesnt suprise me at all. [23:37] hey [23:37] MgMt: one way: find ~/.config/transmission ! -user andy [23:37] lorenzo [23:37] is there a way to make tomboy run programs [23:37] alguien habla español [23:37] !es | kernel [23:37] kernel: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:38] kernel: Ingles solamente aqui. [23:38] kernel, /join #ubuntu-es [23:38] if i wanted to say have tomboy open the calulator on a click of the link? [23:38] Varia: You mean to schedule program executions? [23:38] hello guys i am newbie and i am trying to send and receive files from my mobile i am using gnome ubuntu 9.10 and toshiba laptop can someone help me pls ? isearch all over the net and google too i can get it fixed [23:38] kothz: man, are you still here? it's working! you're fantastic, you're a wizard, thank you very much for help. She's flying now, no lag at all. I still wonder what was that though... but nevermind for now. [23:38] no i want to click on a link to a executable and have it open [23:38] thanks [23:38] Varia: Put a launcher on desktop or panel. Problem solved. [23:39] ash30: basically a driver was misbehaving... you just told the OS not to load it... glad to help... [23:39] hahaha not quite the answer i was looking for... [23:39] but thanks [23:39] LinuxGuy2009, jrib, ubottu, and mneptok, I meant hardware solutions...but thansk! [23:39] kothz: i've never seen any functionality in GNOME to allow different backgrounds per workspace [23:40] I just setup a 9.10 server. Font encoding is utf-8. How do I change the encoding so colon will show as a colon and not a small diamond? [23:40] mneptok: I use it on my big box all the time :) Compiz + CCSM + Wallpapers [23:40] redlance: Why are you referencing my name. I dont know who you are. [23:40] it links to directories and text files and opens them i was curious to see if anyone had gotten an executable to load from it. [23:40] hello guys i am newbie and i am trying to send and receive files from my mobile i am using gnome ubuntu 9.10 and toshiba laptop can someone help me pls ? isearch all over the net and google too i can get it fixed can someone help me pls? [23:40] jrib would sudoing transmission cause a blank screen/kernel panic or something of that nature? [23:40] LinuxGuy2009, Because you told me to checkout Clonezilla [23:41] Varia: Make a link to a binary and try it. [23:41] redlance: What do you mean you want a hardware solution. Buy an external hard drive and use Clonezilla. Theres a great solution. === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [23:41] it says that there is no pogram associated with it ... its odd [23:41] kothz: yes, but Compiz != GNOME. not every GNOME User can run Compiz [23:42] Varia: Sounds like it can only open files created with applications only. [23:42] mneptok: I understand that, but I can. :) [23:42] that would be a great addon though i wonder who i can contact about that [23:42] I just installed Ubuntu, configured it, installed my graphics card, my sound card, set up my interwebz connection, and all that in the 1st time installing linux. [23:42] I'm so proud of myself right now. === Charlie is now known as Guest80488 [23:43] Possibly silly question! I've installed postgresql-8.3, which depends on libldap-2.4-2. The same server runs a built by-hand OpenLDAP 2.4.21 server... as a result, it looks like postgresql is picking up on the more recent libldap libraries from my local install. Since Postgresql was built against a certain version of LDAP library, I *don't* want this to happen, right? [23:43] Varia: Check the Help-> About menu for an email address. [23:43] thanks linuxguy :) [23:43] Varia: Sure [23:43] I just setup a 9.10 server. Font encoding is utf-8. How do I change the encoding so colon will show as a colon and not a small diamond? [23:43] ok [23:44] Varia: http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/PlaceForNewIdeas [23:44] bonne nuit [23:44] nice link thank you too [23:45] I just setup a 9.10 server. Font encoding is utf-8. How do I change the encoding so colon will show as a colon and not a small diamond? [23:46] jcg: in what? [23:46] jcg: where does it appear like that? a local console, or remote? [23:46] jcg, graphical environment or console? [23:47] mneptok, local console and in vi [23:47] :D [23:47] gloom, console [23:47] jcg: so just typing a : at bash gives you a small diamond ? [23:47] MgMt: no [23:47] anyone know the minimum requirements to install 9.10 from the alternate CD? [23:47] jcg: Checked your locale settings? [23:47] linxeh, yes [23:48] mhall119|work: I've got it on a 512mb p4 2ghz system - which is the least I'd want to be subjected to [23:48] LinuxGuy2009, no .. where do I do that, pls? [23:48] jcg: dpkg-reconfigure locales [23:48] Anybody here have an intel 4965 AGN working under linux? [23:48] LinuxGuy2009, ty, will try that [23:48] mhall119|work: 1Ghz/256Mb is pretty much minimal to be practical [23:48] Nollog, I do.It works OOT. What's up? [23:48] jcg: cool [23:48] Here's an opinion type question: Separate partition for /home? Say, 50G for /, 4G for swap, and 200G for /home? Or is it just a useless segregation of space? (Makes for easier upgrades, I think...) [23:49] though im sure you can still get it to boot on a p60 [23:49] hey, how does copy and paste from putty works on ubuntu? [23:49] (karmic koala) [23:49] kothz: seems sane, make swap a bit bigger(2X), yes to easier upgrading [23:49] kothz: Seperate home is good cause if you reinstall then it wont get overwrote with the new OS install etc. [23:49] kothz: 50GB for / is way too much, unless you plan on doing something scary. [23:49] kothz, its a very good option, in case something goes wrong, or you wish to fresh install, home is protected [23:49] gloom: How? Mine will either do nothing (spin in circles in the nm) when trying to connect to an unencrypted network, or ask over and over for WEP/WPA key. [23:50] kothz: desktop or laptop? [23:50] mneptok: laptop [23:50] mneptok: well, netbook [23:50] thanks all btw :) [23:50] kothz: how much physical memory? [23:50] 2g [23:50] kothz: it depends [23:50] What is the shelf life of the data stored on a hard drive? [23:51] kothz: then the 4G of swap is enough [23:51] jcg, before reconfiguring locales, I think you need to edit the locales config file http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400991 [23:51] redlance: Until the drive dies. [23:51] redlance: depends on whether you leave the hard drive on the shelf :) [23:51] kothz: I normally do about 15GB for /, some swap, and then rest on home and /data [23:51] redlance: indefinite in principle [23:51] kothz: ever plan on upgrading the memory? if not 2.5GB swap should be fine. [23:51] Nollog, ubuntu 9.10? [23:51] gloom, that may be, as the reconfigure only checked for updates [23:51] gloom: yea, tried both netbook and desktop versions now. [23:51] I read about "newforms", is that already the default "forms" in django 1.1? [23:51] Ok, thanks guys [23:52] kothz: in order to suspend or hibernate, you need to dump the contents of physical memory to swap. so swap should be slightly more than total physical RAM. [23:52] Nollog, using the stock kernel? [23:52] Nollog: what's your wifi problem? [23:52] I've tried shaking the "Thou shalt create 7 slices" a la old school Solaris... it's hard sometimes :) [23:52] mneptok: oo good point [23:53] gloom: I'm trying the desktop version just off the live cd right now, but netbook version had the same problem installed. [23:53] My PC just shut down due to temperature problems. I'd expected a fsck on boot, but nothing happened. What should I do now? [23:53] Nollog: whatever it is, please tell me if its like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/528161 [23:53] nh2: wifi card sees networks etc., but won't connect. [23:53] Nollog: Your having wifi issues? Are you trying to connect to your own router? [23:54] Oops... forgot to mention, while I was installing with Synaptics (My PC just shut down due to temperature problems. I'd expected a fsck on boot, but nothing happened. What should I do now?) [23:54] hmw: not all unplanned shutdowns force a fsck... i'd check the fans, make sure they're not blocked... are you overclocking? overheating Is Not A Social Semiconductor Thing To Be Doing. [23:54] LinuxGuy2009: yea, It's a wrt610n, I also just tried a motorolla G with dd-wrt on it. [23:54] I'm running from LiveCD. Can I remove the linux-swap partition and then re-create it without affecting my existing installation? [23:54] Nollog: Ok what speeds does your adapter support b/g only? [23:54] nh2: I'm not sure overheating would be a problem, the system seems to be running nicely. [23:55] b/g/n [23:55] I want to resize the current linux partition but there is the linux swap between my current partition and the space available [23:55] Nollog: Ok is your SSID being broadcast? [23:55] Nollog, that's weird because this card is supported and works fine with recent kernels. try to disable the card (sudo ifconfig wlan0 down) ,reenable (sudo ifconfig wlan0 up) and then try to scan for networks from the console (iwlist wlan0 scan) and see if you got a good scan. [23:55] Udev is pooling lvm, can IO get this to stop... or get it to ignore my optical drives? [23:55] kothz: thanks for you hints, but I would like to continue/restart the install process, respectivley clean up before [23:55] Nollog, if it scans correctly, the wifi is working. Maybe the problem is not on your card after all, but on the network.!? [23:55] LinuxGuy2009: yes/ [23:55] kothz: what do? [23:56] Nollog: Do you have any security in place? WEP, WPA etc? [23:56] wpa2, required for N speeds. [23:56] hmw: oh! I missed the fact that you're in the middle of an install... [23:56] the same crad worked perfectly in my laptop three days ago or two. [23:56] That runs windows 7x64 [23:56] what? [23:57] Nollog: unfortunately, it iseems it is not temperature-related [23:57] I thought this [23:57] vcgdhwkfqkyuwruyrer [23:57] ftuyewtqytfyegyrfoeto8 [23:57] rfye2wr7r6323yorfeywoyftgwye [23:57] fwytyfudyfte3wtrgyu23tyr [23:57] but now its quite cold and my card does not connect [23:57] guest: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:57] gloom: I'll try that. [23:57] tryo2tryw2yretwyotryewotryewtfuotuoftewoytyftewy [23:57] fewyitfyewotfoewouq [23:57] Nollog: Try broadcasting in g only and see if you can connect with no WEP or WPA enabled and go from there. [23:57] ./rules.d/85-lvm2.rules [23:57] your craay [23:57] at university, many of us have 5100 intel cards and no one can connect [23:57] dwiqayfgewyittrfgycuewt [23:57] fdetwfqyfuoteyoqtfe [23:57] rfetywtfyegyfue [23:57] guest: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:57] qfetyqifewyqtfew [23:57] Nollog, the card should work. I am connected right now thtough a WPA2-PSK network with this card and ubuntu 9.10. [23:57] hmw: try restarting the install? [23:57] fwetqfiewyqift6e [23:57] nh2: never? [23:57] * kothz cheeers for FloodBot2! [23:58] acicula: yep, I cannot connect to any network [23:58] nh2: try with a router that has N mode disabled [23:58] a friend of mine can connect only at home [23:58] its strange [23:58] nh2: not mixed mode, but just complettely off [23:58] acicula: at any mode [23:58] gloom: "no scan results" [23:58] can any of you speak english [23:58] guest: most can [23:58] Can I remove my linux-swap partition and re-create it at a second time (from LiveCD) without affecting my existing linux partition? [23:58] acicula: my router is configured in g only mode [23:58] LinuxGuy2009: tried that [23:58] Nollog, mmmmmmm that's strange [23:58] nh2: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [23:58] Nollog: 9.10? [23:58] Nollog: can you pastie a full dmesg? [23:58] LinuxGuy2009: yea [23:58] nh2: on jaunty? [23:59] dmesg? [23:59] or the lts version [23:59] Nollog: Do you have a 9.04 live CD sitting there? [23:59] what country are you from? [23:59] trism: are you still there? [23:59] acicula: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 [23:59] yes [23:59] No, I just downloaded the 9.10 iso [23:59] cool [23:59] is there a way to have every request on 192.168.0.0/24 on eth0 and everythig on another network in eth1? [23:59] yes
