"No new release available" [00:11] and everyone else [00:11] lojack: through apt-pinning magic you can install specific packages from repositories like that, but for upgrading either using the update manager or doing the dist-upgrade thing is recommended [00:12] lojack: Every time I've upgraded it has resulted in problems. I would recommend installing from scratch. [00:12] thank you [00:12] erpo: That's seems rather counterproductive.

[00:47] greezmunkey, apparently flash plugin messed up firefox. i think i am usig the wrong package/codec [00:47] chelz: That's what i figured aswell, I'll give it a shot. Thanks === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [00:48] chelz: The thing however is update-grub still doesn't say anything about finding the windows kernel [00:48] Hi, does anyone here know how I could get gfire working on pidgin? I'm using ubuntu 9.04. [00:48] hugo: wait actually line 10 in that should be "chainloader +1" [00:49] Yea i know i fixed it [00:49] hugo: yeah, if os-prober doesn't see it then update-grub won't see it. this is a dirty workaround. i'm looking into os-prober known issues. [00:49] chelz: I'll reboot and try this [00:49] Is there any way of preventing specific programs from running without running on a specific kernel? (E.g. media editing programs will only run if the linux-rt kernel is running, and backtrack tools will only run if the bt kernel is running?) [00:50] well i tryed it and its not working, thanks for helping though. [00:50] meatbun: Can you back out the change? [00:50] GodfatherofEire: prevent from running automatically or being allowed to execute at all? [00:51] chelz, being allowed to execute at all [00:51] back again and still unable to install xoopic [00:51] the first thing to do in the readme.install is to use ./configure which does not work (it did work to install xgrafix) === ludovic_ is now known as Boulet [00:52] kocmodpom: I remember reading that's not the first thing [00:52] GodfatherofEire: your best bet would probably be to replace every reference to the actual binaries in shortcuts or methods you use to execute them with sh scripts that don't run if the correct kernel isn't in use [00:52] jrib: already installed xgrafix [00:53] kocmodpom: you linked me to xoopic earlier [00:53] jrib: correct, step one and two of installing xoopic is download and installation of xgrafix [00:54] chelz, sorry, got disconnected. So is there a way to prevent that? [00:54] jrib: step 3 says "Run ./configure" [00:54] does any one know where are the thermal sensors positioned in a HP laptop??? [00:54] kocmodpom: read the whole document... (in the end you are probably missing some library, but that is not what README.INTALL says in xoopic-20091028.tar.gz) [00:54] vladi: check laptop manual :) [00:55] i did [00:55] no info bout thet [00:55] GodfatherofEire: your best bet would probably be to replace every reference to the actual binaries in shortcuts or methods you use to execute them with sh scripts that don't run if the correct kernel isn't in use [00:55] that... [00:55] My mouse graphic disappeared. The mouse still works, but I have to guess where it is. Any ideas? Rebooting and logging out/in doesn't work. [00:55] that's why i'm here ;)) [00:55] chelz, well, i think I'll just be careful not to execute them then [00:55] sweetandy, is this in a VBox VM? [00:56] Typos_King: do you know the default positioning of these? [00:56] in a laptop [00:56] ZykoticK9: No, this is my normal GNOME destop. [00:56] desktop* [00:56] jrib: README.INSTALL from that version of xoopic you listed is exactly what I am reading from [00:56] I managed to enable pressing to show where the mouse is, and that helps. [00:56] sweetandy, ok - no idea about that. Good luck. [00:56] Ha, thanks [00:57] kocmodpom: so where does it say to run ./configure? [00:57] lo [00:57] !hi | greezmunkey [00:57] greezmunkey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! === Semitones is now known as SEMITONES [00:57] chelz: Didn't work either, I am begining to suspect that my windows mbr is damaged === SEMITONES is now known as Semitones [00:57] hugo: try setting your bios to boot to that drive. if it doesn't boot then, then you need to run w/e the windows install disc has for recovery. [00:57] vladi: not sure there is one, each manufacturer implements theirs I'd think [00:58] vladi: so you have to resort to their user manual or service manuals [00:58] ok [00:59] chelz: Sounds reasonable enough [01:00] Typos_King: i told you i already did, and there is no info about these sensors... that's why i'm here ;) [01:00] wth man!! [01:00] heeh [01:00] im beginning to dislike linux [01:01] Prestidigitonium: do you have a support question? If so, just ask it on a single line please [01:01] Prestidigitonium ;)) if you dislike linux you dislike yourself [01:01] in fstab, how would I type out this information please? : to mount my hda1; /dev/sda1 /storage ext3,311Linux UUID="2e3cb8a9-221b-4a86-b7b2-cc9be8f19ff9" TYPE="ext3" [01:02] chelz: Haha lovely seems like grub is installed there as well, [01:02] !fstab > chuckadmin [01:02] chuckadmin, please see my private message [01:02] jrib: im not sure. i got an init kernel panic [01:02] chelz: Do you know if you can repair your windows mbr from linux ? [01:02] jrib: in step 3 I am trying to copy it but pastebin is horribly unresponsive but my router is dying [01:02] Prestidigionium: I hear you [01:03] now i have to reinstall [01:03] Thanks, I'll read those and see if I can answer the question [01:03] kocmodpom: I was just reading the top of the file === fly is now known as Guest80880 [01:04] vladi: check your motherboard manual, if any provided by the maker of it.. seems they're built-in the mb... so [01:04] Nothing like a one hour ubuntu problem fix to remind me how I hate open-source sometimes.. [01:04] kocmodpom: since the top ends with "the rest of this file is pretty old..." [01:04] hugo: ah so that must be the issue [01:05] Yea but I still think it's funny , because when starting it from GRUB it says bootmgr missing. Shouldn't it just restart grub at that point ? [01:05] hugo: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html [01:05] Jon-, :0 only takes me five minutes of closed source ... [01:05] chelz: Thanks [01:06] it takes a very long time to install the base system and packages to an sd card. and even then ill need to configure my network and install the gnome desktop. [01:06] kocmodpom: anyway, if you are missing some library, you need to install the corresponding -dev package for the library. Also, the age of the software may be an issue. Libraries may have changed since it was released [01:07] anyone know what an init error and kernel panic means? [01:07] how do you run a .bin file? [01:07] sambagirl: what is the .bin for? [01:08] i wanted to insall zenoss [01:08] hi [01:08] install [01:08] Prestidigitonium, kernel panic is the equivalent of a "blue screen of death" in another OS [01:08] network nmonitoing system [01:08] zykotick9 or the amiga memory guru [01:08] lol i know what a kernel panic is. [01:08] but init is confusing me [01:08] "init error" do you mean "could not find /sbin/init"? [01:09] somebody can help me with avant window manager? [01:09] sambagirl: make it executable (chmod +x /path/to/file) and then execute it by typing the path to it (usually ./file.bin). The .bin can do anything, execute it at your own risk [01:09] it generally means your root filesystem isn't really your root filesystem [01:09] i can not start the manager [01:09] sambagirl: chmod a+x file.bin && ./file.bin [01:09] sambagirl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zenoss [01:09] ok, fstab web page explains things with examples enough for me to get it, THANKS :) bye [01:09] sambagirl: whatversion of ubuntu? [01:09] the kernel tries to execute a process /sbin/init when it first boots up - init then takes care of the rest of the bootup process [01:09] Random832: thats really weird, but im reinstalling for the 4th time [01:09] lol [01:09] elmakaru i could try and help you [01:10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Guru_meditation.gif [01:10] there it is [01:10] ok [01:10] now, your error means it couldn't find it for whatever reason [01:10] !lol | Prestidigitonium [01:10] thanks [01:10] Prestidigitonium: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:10] how do you run a .bin file? [01:10] what is your problem? [01:10] sambagirl: I just told you [01:10] sambagirl, why? also : you just linked a gif file not a bin file. [01:10] Fsorry i missed it [01:10] sambagirl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zenoss [01:10] sambagirl: scroll up [01:11] nono that had to do with the panic and bsod hting [01:11] thing [01:11] !who | sambagirl [01:11] sambagirl: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:11] i just wanted to point out the meditation guru for amiga [01:11] Random832: anyway, that error means i need to reinstall, right? [01:11] version is hardy [01:12] sambagirl, bit old dont you think ? [01:12] ok elmark let's see... how did you install avw? [01:12] thanks chelz [01:12] i keep forgetting about the permissions [01:12] doesanyone know if theres a way I could use a sidekick as a remote terminal or display over bluetooth? [01:12] Does anyone here know how to exit x-server? [01:12] pepper_haze: why? [01:13] I am trying to install a graphics card, and it keeps telling me that I am running x-server when I try to install the video driver [01:13] airtonix i am doing alot of things here. many top secret important things here. [01:13] !nvidia | pepper_haze [01:13] pepper_haze: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:13] Prestidigitonium, probably - there are ways to deal with it, but they're all harder than reinstalling, particularly in the livecd era where you can get a chance to back up your data before installing [01:13] sambagirl, one of which is using enter instead of spacebar? [01:14] also, what usualy causes that error (so i can try to avoid it) during setup. im sure i used the same params [01:14] sambagirl: it is generally a good idea to use packages from the repositories when possible [01:14] ohh i am on irc via pidgin via vnc on a hardy system and not locally. [01:14] sambagirl, by the way can't be that top secret if you're on a public irc channel :) [01:15] this is the public system those are .... well that is a secret. [01:15] everything except using ext2 insead of ext4 === Boulet is now known as Exaltiapc3 [01:17] jrib: my connection crapped out, I missed everything [01:17] jrib: how can I "properly install" hdf5 ?? [01:17] would using the ext2 fs cause that issue? [01:17] could someone help me set my cpu frequency at max, the gnome applet wont work, and its stuck at the slower speed of my laptop, this happens if i leave it alone for a little, say while its playing music, it gets stuck low and the only way to fix it is to reboot! [01:19] is quite frustrating cause ive got a file search thats been running for ages and its slowed to a crawl, i would rather not reboot and restart it all [01:19] hello I have a problem with my server I have recently install grub 2 and for a short time I regained control but now a gain I have to replace root with uuid but now it does'nt work????

[02:02] I pretty much a beginner. I have Ubuntu Linux 9.10 on an old computer. I have a Lexmark X2670 someone donated that would be wonderful to get working on one of these machines. Lexmark provided a driver for Ubuntu Linux 8.04 for the X2600 series. When I try to install it and it asks for the root password, it never seems to recognize the correct password I key. I can only imagine the place or encryption to verify [02:02] it has changed from version 8.04 to 9.10. Are there any tricks I can try to get it to work or am I out of luck?

It's booting properly from the drive and loads the installer boot menu just fine, but when i choose to install it (or try it even), it goes to what I'm thinking is an error screen [02:15] i dont know why there would be errors on a fresh install, but im not complaining [02:16] does it normally go to a black screen right off? [02:16] lemongt, that's definitely abnormal [02:16] ok [02:16] rumpsy: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2002-September/000765.html [02:16] what do i need to look at to know what is wrong? [02:17] Prestidigitonium, it could happen if you had to do some monkeying with NTFS partitions or if your system didn't shut down cleanly at any point [02:17] there is a good bit of text here [02:17] lemongt, your whole screen is black? [02:17] there is text now [02:17] chelz: ya its cool now :) [02:17] lemongt, i think there should be a non-graphical install option [02:17] lemongt, you might want to try that [02:17] would that be telling me things like "no medium found"? [02:18] What does this mean: bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~iguanamiyagi/pidgin-webkit/karmic-fixes/". ?? [02:18] lemongt, does it tell you what drive it's trying (failing) to access? [02:18] ymm... /dev/sdb [02:19] also "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" [02:19] madjoe: That is not a branch, it's probably a directory that contains multiple branches . [02:19] Jordan_U: got it [02:20] lemongt, it sounds to me as though for some reason the liveusb environment is losing track of the device it's mounted on in some strange, arcane fashion [02:20] lemongt, in light of which vivid's advice is good [02:20] i used unetbootin-windows-408.exe to create a bootable USB drive along with the ubuntu 9.10 iso image. I get this error message when booting from bios: [02:20] No bootable partition in table. [02:20] any ideas? [02:20] lemongt, although their advice was good in the first place, mind :) [02:20] so i'm looking for a non-graphical install? [02:20] no, when he said black screen i was thinking video failure, if its not finding his usb disk it wont help [02:20] this will help? [02:21] vivid, my thought is that it has to find his usb disk to load the live environment [02:21] so it obviously works at SOME point [02:21] it's BOOTING from the disk just fine. You think it's loosing it while giving me errors about it in what looks like linux style? [02:21] so using the alternate installer may "just work" for him. [02:22] fuck u guyz never helped [02:22] :( [02:22] sorry [02:22] karan: What's the problem? [02:22] nobbody will help me [02:22] his flash player is laggy [02:22] yeah what vivid said [02:22] lemongt, while i haven't seen your exact situation before i have had the occasional system where some piece of the hardware just won't play right [02:23] lemongt, you feel comfortable doing a non-graphical install? [02:23] karan: There are 2 flash packages, did you alternate to see if one works better than the other? [02:23] no idea [02:23] um yeah [02:23] i just [02:23] installed the one form their site [02:23] that said apt [02:23] i've never touched linux or any variation of it before [02:23] or somethin [02:23] lemongt, its the same as the graphical one practically [02:23] karan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:23] its still lagging [02:23] lemongt, it's basically the exact same process except without mouse control the dialogs look similar, even [02:24] (control *) [02:24] karan: Look in the repositories, and install the one there. It's distro specific so probably works better. Uninstall the one you got from the site first. [02:24] (...control. *) [02:24] karan: Maybe hardware can't handle it. Has it ever played smoothly on that machine? [02:24] yes [02:24] can someone please help me turn on eth0 for dhcp again? [02:24] on windows 7 [02:24] i could watch hd [02:25] karan: you said "hd" so i'm a little curious [02:25] is this machine a netbook? [02:25] yeah utube hd 720p [02:25] rebooting, wish me luck! :) [02:25] karan: Is it just flash? Or HD video files too? Then maybe your video drivers aren't set up properly. [02:25] can you still use unetbootin if you don't have ANY OS on your computer (blank hard drive) [02:25] um flash cuz everything geos slow [02:25] n i see 1 frame per 10 seconds [02:25] ddrj: Where would you r un the program from then? [02:26] no i mean [02:26] on the target machine [02:26] i would run the program on my laptop and create the usb drive [02:26] hmm [02:26] then take the usb drive to the target machine [02:26] karan: Like I said, install the flash package that is in the ubuntu repo [02:26] and boot from there [02:26] ddrj: Yeah I did that before, works fine. [02:26] ok good, i got a problem tho [02:26] i did [02:26] Prestidigitonium, 'sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces' change static to dhcp, comment out the static ip lines, then 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [02:26] karan: which version of ubuntu are you running?

[02:49] as per http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/guide [02:49] fedora [02:49] was the most stable [02:49] so many options out there [02:49] ive tried 100 ofs them [02:49] sabayon eventually failed on me [02:49] karan, good luck ... threatening to leave won't encourage help [02:49] karan: install fedora alongside ubuntu and take the time to figure out what it does right [02:50] my hdd is only 60gb [02:50] so [02:50] rlly i cnt [02:50] karan, or rather, what you did wrong [02:50] my hdd is 4gb [02:50] really? [02:50] and yet i dual boout fedora and ubuntu [02:50] karan: have a shared /home and have separate partitions for each OS [02:50] yep [02:50] netbook [02:50] 4gb? [02:50] 40gb? [02:50] you can install linux onto a floppy disk [02:51] so 4 gigs is more than enough for a full system [02:51] my laptop dont have a floppy [02:51] chelz, rumpsy thanks guys i'm going to try it now :D [02:51] ok [02:51] fedora [02:51] Can anyone expalin how EC2 is different from my linux shared hosting - can I have Pleask installed for each domain using EC2? [02:51] mabye untill i get new ram or somehting [02:51] ill reinstall ubuntu [02:51] or ill wait of ubuntu lynx to come out [02:51] karan, i was just going to say Lucid coming out soon :) [02:51] Sattvic: #ubuntu-server [02:52] lol [02:52] karan: try installing fedora and copying over the .so flashplugin [02:52] o [02:52] deos [02:52] freebsd have a gui? [02:52] karan: Yes. [02:52] cuz their no pics of it [02:52] ConfusedButEnthused: rejoined as CUBED. Still looking for advice on Lexmark print driver for 8.04 not getting past root password screen in 9.10. [02:52] karan: sure the same as any linux [02:52] gnome? [02:52] karan, it uses gnome [02:52] karan: /join #freebsd [02:52] karan, yes freebsd has a gui. If you want the best flash support out there give opensolaris a try ;) [02:52] is it fatser? [02:53] i heard solaris sucks [02:53] !ot | ZykoticK9 karan [02:53] ZykoticK9 karan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:53] karan, 5 more days till the Lucid beta, ok ok i wont say anymore ill get yelled at , but anyways try lucid in 5 days :) *shutting up* [02:53] * NewWorld yells [02:53] karan, with all due respect if you're having trouble configuring ubuntu, i doubt you'll find bsd any friendlier [02:53] ^^ so true [02:53] i guess [02:54] usser: yes you are exactly [02:54] cuz [02:54] Where's gloom? [02:54] firefox 3.0.18 keeps crashing before youtube videos load on ubuntu 8.04LTS [02:54] Has anybody gotten DVB-T to work, or should i wait for lucid too? [02:54] i had this problem with mint linux too cuz it was ubuntu based [02:54] I don't think she has trouble configuiring it's just that Flash doesn't work on her machine. She/he used 2 distros before so it'll be fine imio [02:55] ye its just flash [02:55] n lol [02:55] its not a she [02:55] its pronounce [02:55] dif [02:55] karan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:55] honestly, i think bsd has some really nifty tools that linux could use. [02:55] karan: Sounds a lot like karen sorry [02:55] does anyone use Adium theme for Pidgin? [02:55] networksetup and hdiutil come to mind... [02:55] jember [02:56] not many nerdy linuc girls..cept for the nixipixel one [02:56] karan: i'd stay away from solaris unless you want to dive into the gritty unix environment [02:56] erUSUL, thanks, installings cpufrequtils now [02:56] nixipixel is hot :) [02:56] what do u mean gritty [02:56] vivid, i updated. THX. is there a way for it to look for updates and ask to install them? [02:56] karan: like reading the man pages thoroughly and stuff. solaris has so many unique things that aren't immediately obvious. [02:57] rosco, 'apt-get update' to refresh package lists, 'apt-get upgrade' to install any upgrades available [02:57] deos UNIX have a solid gui [02:57] ? [02:57] it will ask you yes or no if you want to take action [02:57] karan: and don't even get me started on sun hardware, lol. good hardware, but holy hell it's unique... no power button? you have to telnet in or serial in and type poweron [02:57] karan: please take this to the offtopic channel [02:57] karan, well, you can run gnome or kde on any "unix", and the default opensolaris setup runs with gnome [02:57] vivid, it will not automatically look for updates? as with Mint? i must do it manually? it wouldn't be a big deal. i'd do it when i water the plants [02:58] commercial unixes also often have something called CDE [02:58] rosco, i dont know, i dont use lubuntu, ask them [02:58] erUSUL, hmm, all cpus return "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" [02:58] my firefox is crashing. how do i diagnose this? [02:58] hipitihop: then just see what freq the cpu reports in /proc/cpuinfo [02:58] rosco, if you have update-manager, you should already be notified when updates are available [02:58] vivid, lubuntu isn't active. everyone must be out on the town [02:58] really [02:58] wher eis update manager? lubuntu is very like ubuntu proper [02:58] is unix better than linux [02:58] IRIX has its own motif-ish desktop environment [02:59] sahal: When does it crash? [02:59] since its like the ganddady [02:59] !luubuntu | rosco [02:59] karan: Linux is based on UNIX. Please take to OT channel [02:59] !lubuntu | rosco [02:59] rosco: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [02:59] karan: when i say unix i just mean *nix... basically everything except windows. bsd, solaris, aix, linux, etc.. [02:59] karan: pretty much every OS on the planet right now is a unix based OS, except windows. [02:59] mhmm [02:59] mainstream anyways... [03:00] NewWorld: sometimes it crashes in gmail. it crashes every time i try to load youtube videos [03:00] chelz, and ubottu i'll take that b/c they look the same, there are great differences [03:00] ...and i guess there are some phone OSes that aren't *nix... [03:00] I cannot get Lexmark X2600 driver that was written for 8.04 to install on 9.10 due to root password edit failure. Any ideas? [03:00] sahal: What firefox version? What flash version installed? [03:00] CUBED, are you running the command with "sudo"? [03:01] CUBED: root password edit failure? [03:01] ... [03:01] NewWorld: firefox 3.0.18 flash 10.0 r32 ubuntu 8.04 [03:01] ZykoticK9: I tried several ways. The install setup actually prompts for password and doesn't know what to do with it. [03:02] CUBED, 'sudo dpkg -i ' [03:02] sahal: Was it working fine at some time in the past? Do you want to upgrade to 3.5/3.6, it could solve everything. [03:02] lullabud: Yes, the install setup prompts and prompts with right password entered every time. [03:02] CUBED, try using "sudo -i" then installing [03:02] When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? [03:03] how do i install chrome? [03:03] ZykoticK9: "sudo -i" I'll try it. [03:03] NewWorld: it was working fine until like 3 days ago when apt-get updated firefox. yeah i'd like to upgrade but i'm not sure how to. it seems like verything is updated when i type apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. [03:03] psvasti, if you want Chromium then add the PPA https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa, if you want Google Chrome download it from google and install [03:04] psvati: you can add a repository for google chrome... let me look it up [03:04] psvasti, http://www.google.com/chrome for "Google Chrome" [03:04] :) [03:04] ZykoticK9, there is a google repository for most if not all of the google linux apps [03:04] i'm on windows 7 [03:05] psvati: you can add the repository deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main [03:05] sahal: You could try downgrading to a previous release (before the update) though I wouldn't know how to do that. Or you could upgrade to 3.6 using tutorials like this one: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [03:05] letalis, if you install the Google Chrome DEB it adds the Google repo [03:05] ZykoticK9, i never knew that [03:05] LOL [03:06] When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? [03:06] how do I update virtual box? [03:06] sahal: Though uninstalling something that is not in the repos is untested and could be unstable/unsecured. [03:06] goddard, are you using the OSE or PUEL version? [03:06] I'm not sure [03:06] goddard, did you install using Ubuntu repo or from Oracle's site? [03:07] ubuntu repo [03:07] When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? [03:07] NewWorld: i was trying to figure out how to like file a bug report [03:07] karan: Hmm just had a thought. Maybe it's something to do with 32bit/64bit? ;o [03:07] hi everyone [03:07] NewWorld: and get crash reports and stuff [03:07] or a deb file I can't remember [03:07] goddard, then you'd have to wait for Lucid (or find a PPA) for upgrade, or switch to Oracle's version (which supports USB in VMs) at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [03:07] o.0 [03:08] im 32bit === Dagon is now known as Dagon1488 [03:08] sahal: You could try running firefox from terminal and check the terminal for error messages once it crashes. [03:08] I'm having trouble installing and running Conky and also I'm a n00b to ubuntu, can anyone help me? [03:08] When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? [03:08] karan: 32bit OS? 32 CPU? 32 flash binary package? [03:08] where can i find info how to install audacity for xubuntu 9.04? [03:08] Zykotick9 alright thanks [03:08] goddard, does " apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose" show it as being installed? [03:08] Dougdoug4: have you tried restarting X to see if it comes back normal? [03:08] Hey fellas? [03:09] Zykotick9 it returns installed none [03:09] no lullabud [03:09] how do I restart X? [03:09] Dougdoug4: did you try restarting your computer? that would restart x [03:09] can I find and reinstall packages I uninstalled? [03:09] goddard, then you probably have the PUEL version -- see details for adding the repo (and thus getting updates) at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [03:09] Dougdoug4: otherwise you can hit ctrl-alt-backspace. beware that it will terminate all of your open apps. [03:09] Dougdoug4, 'sudo restart gdm' if youre on karmic [03:09] kavurt: Use synaptic. [03:10] Zykotick9 alright thanks [03:10] Is it possible to install ubuntu onto a new (blank) hard drive? [03:10] sonny: yep [03:10] sonny: yes [03:10] NewWorld: I can't. because my X doesn't start [03:11] !clone > kavurt [03:11] kavurt, please see my private message [03:11] to run ssh in my server, what do i need to install??? openssh??? or just ssh?? i forgot... i'm building a tutorial [03:11] Sweet! Is there anything special I need to do before downloading and installing, or will it walk me through? [03:11] sonny: it's almost automatic [03:11] jaypur: openssh-server is the server [03:12] kavurt: Use apt-cache to search for packages. Use 'apt-get install/reinstall' to install packages. [03:12] liKao, "almost" [03:12] Zyko: well, a few choices are left [03:12] can someone help a newbie or direct a newbie to a newbie channel? [03:12] liKao, :) === Podfish_ is now known as opop [03:13] Ok, I'll go ahead and give it a whirl. Thanks. [03:13] dbook82: If it's ubuntu-related, here is fine. [03:13] lullabud, so to run it i just need openssh??? [03:13] dbook82: i'm sure people in here would be glad to help [03:13] Is there a page, news site or some such that updates us with new packages being added to the repos? [03:13] jaypur: "to run it"? [03:13] ZykoticK9: and the kubuntu partioner is kinda broken, so don't use that *gg* [03:13] jaypur: what exactly are you trying to do? [03:14] mawst, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ not sure if it will show you what is newly added though [03:14] lullabud, i'm already doing it, i'm just writing a tutorial, and i need to know exactly the comands... i need to install @ the server, openssh... and what about ssh? [03:14] lullabud: It worked, your so smart [03:14] ok thanks... I'm having trouble configuring Conky, [03:14] mawst, Ubuntu does not do rolling updates - so you should never see "new" packages, just security/bug fixes [03:14] jaypur: openssh is needed to get out, openssh-server is needed to get in [03:14] jacob__: ...what worked? [03:15] restarting X [03:15] jaypur: you need to install the server on the server, and the client on the client. [03:15] hey [03:15] jacob__: oh, i think your name changed. were you dougdoug before? [03:16] eh [03:16] Well so there's nothing new? :/ [03:16] mawst, only when a new version comes out - then there are new packages [03:16] mawst: write something new and submit it! ;-) [03:16] i've tried installing it thru the terminal and when i go to set up the .conkyrc it doesn't want to run [03:17] May i get some assistance with getting my built-in webcam to work. =/ [03:17] lullabud, i forgot what i have installed grr... [03:17] Perhaps. [03:17] jaypur: openssh-server is the server, openssh is the client [03:17] lullabud, i don't know if i installed openssh server, but it's running... [03:17] ZykoticK9: "Ubuntu does not do rolling updates" what is the name to that describes Ubuntu's way of updating? [03:18] Turtle-Esque [03:18] NewWorld, no idea -- not updates, lol [03:18] lullabud, at ubuntu server... i install openssh-server, and at the normal pc... openssh... is that it? [03:18] !ask | seek3r [03:18] seek3r: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:18] jaypur: if you can do "ssh yourmachine" from somewhere else you have openssh-server installed [03:18] NewWorld: time based releases, cadence [03:18] hi everyone [03:18] ChogyDan, thanks [03:18] jaypur: no, openssh-server is the service you connect to. openssh is the client you use to connect to the server with. === javabean is now known as }javabean{ [03:19] jaypur: you can install openssh-server on any ubuntu system [03:19] lullabud, aaah now i got it [03:19] ChogyDan: Thank you [03:19] lullabud, but what's the difference if i type sudo apt-get install openssh, or openssh-server, or just ssh? [03:19] ssh is a meta package that links to both openssh and openssh-server [03:20] jaypur: fyi, there are a LOT of great articles on how to do amazing things with ssh. ssh is one of the most powerful tools that linux has. [03:20] hmmm [03:20] lullabud: do you have a link handy? [03:20] liKao: for...? [03:20] NewWorld: i only see "segmentation fault" [03:20] thanks ZykoticK9 [03:20] NewWorld: is there a crash reporter for firefox on ubuntu [03:20] lullabud: the ssh tricks you mentioned [03:21] I have downloaded and installed camorama and it gives me an error "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection.". How would i solve this problem? [03:21] sahal: That's a common, but broad error, sorry dunno what to do there. Dunno about a crash reporter either :/ [03:21] liKao: hold and i'll find some... [03:21] kavurt, had to scroll up to see what the thanks for for -- clone, right. Best of luck man. [03:21] seek3r: that just means it isn't working [03:21] can some one help me install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download i need it and there is no deb for it [03:22] It looks like .profile will add $home/bin to the path if it exists...Is this the preferred place to put generic scripts? [03:22] ChogyDan, My webcam is built-in. [03:22] seek3r: so what, it still may not be supported by default in linux [03:23] seek3r: some webcams need a driver [03:23] liKao: well, this isn't advanced, but it's useful... how to enable passwordless, key-based logins. - http://www.hackinglinuxexposed.com/articles/20021211.html [03:23] liKao: you could also check out `man ssh_config` for a bunch of cool tricks for your ~/.ssh/config file [03:24] seek3r: I think the place to start is either using lspci and lspcmcia to find the model of the webcam, or by installing easycam2 and seeing if that works. You may also want to start by running gstreamer-properties and seeing if the cam works there [03:24] liKao: you can do things like proxy through a remote host tunneled over ssh, which can secure your internet connection while using public wifi networks... tons of neat tricks. [03:24] can some one help me install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download i need it and there is no deb for it [03:24] hey ho, what's the keyboard shortcut to open the applications menu? [03:24] lullabud, so i'll write at my tutorial that the user should run at server and client, sudo apt-get install ssh, and everything will be ok right? [03:24] lullabud: i am mainly looking for some ways to make it as secure as possible, as I am already getting some break-in attempts on that service [03:24] Semitones: Alt+F1? [03:24] How do I add a mount to the um... locate database? [03:25] liKao: one thing i used to do was ssh on my linux machine, open a tunnel to a system that was behind the firewall, then use my windows machine to RDC over that ssh tunnel. pretty slick for getting GUI access to systems behind a firewall when all you have is ssh access. [03:25] liKao: ah man, yeah... the brute force attacks suck. change the default port for sure. [03:25] does anyone know why when poping in windows installation disk it gives me a blank screen? [03:26] NewWorld, that sounds right. I guess it just doesn't work in lubuntu [03:26] is it because windows doesn't like linux? [03:26] ChogyDan, Ok thanks for your response. [03:26] q0_0p: Bad media? Corrupted? [03:26] mawst: check /etc/updatedb.conf [03:26] Semitones: Run 'gconf-editor' and try to find the setting there [03:27] thank you [03:27] liKao: another thing you can do to secure ssh is do a whitelist on users who are allowed to authenticate... [03:27] lullabud: what i'd love it to do is to still use the normal port in the local network, but another one from remote.... mainly because i am just lazy i guess [03:28] liKao: this is good for if there's an exploit in one of the services that has an account on your system [03:28] lullabud, got it [03:28] can some one help me install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download i need it and there is no deb for it [03:28] ChogyDan, Everything works now. I only had to tweak some settings within gstreamer-properties. Thank you very much. [03:28] seek3r: great! glad it worked out [03:28] liKao: as long as it's not 22 to the outside world that's great. it's surprising how much CPU overhead an ssh breakin attempt uses, and if you're getting thousands a day it'll make a significant impact on your system. [03:28] Semitones, try alt+f1 [03:28] anyone? [03:29] How can I make all files in a directory inherit permissions from it's directory? [03:29] liKao: you can use ~/.ssh/config to set a default port that's non-standard, so you can have it changed to all non-standard ports and not have to worry about specifying port on the command line. [03:29] Window List buttons in the panel are "pressed in" when selected. Nautilus tab buttons are "pressed out" when selected. Other applications take one approach or the other. Is there any way to get them to agree? [03:30] lullabud: ah, good to know... guess I'll use that, thanks [03:30] i installed squid in my linuxbox, its notworking, its asking me to set visible_hostname, how to make it [03:30] Q: 9.10/64bit Turning mouse acceleration to lowest doesn't actually turn it off. Is there a way to edit something and actually turn accel off? [03:30] When using "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/ bs=1M" to destroy data, does executing it 10 times make it as impossible to recover as executing the same with "/dev/random" 5 times ? [03:30] pleasee [03:31] this my error, FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set 'visible_hostname' [03:31] can some one help me install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download i need it and there is no deb for it [03:31] please [03:31] !please [03:31] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [03:31] !attitude [03:31] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:32] supermatt1000: what is the problem? [03:32] rautamiekka: if you're paranoid, using random is really the way to go. [03:32] Excellent thanks lullabud., [03:33] rautamiekka: the reason being, doing it the /dev/zero way is just decreasing the magnetic value of the bits... it is still potentially possible to increase that value and get it back. doing random doesn't just decrease it all the same amount, but by different amounts, and there's no way to find out what each amount was. [03:33] ChogyDan i need to install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download but there is no deb for it [03:34] supermatt1000, from the INSTALL readme file http://paste.ubuntu.com/394919/ [03:34] anyone know how I can get virtualbox 2.2.4 guest usb device running on Intrepid? Those cats at vbox suck [03:34] rautamiekka: I think you only need to use random a few times. And only if you think someone will open up your drive in a lab [03:34] can someone tell me if this guide is still relevant for karmic ? http://po-ru.com/diary/up-to-date-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-hardy/ [03:34] rautamiekka: also, check out dcfldd as a replacement for dd, it's awesome. it'll let you specify input strings and all sorts of cool additional flags, plus it has a status output. [03:34] olskolirc, did you install VBox from the Ubuntu repository? [03:34] Hello guys. A quick question here. I'm setting up my USB Mem to boot the ubuntu 9.10 alternate installation. I've got the boot record configured, and I have the syslinux.cfg file in place. I'm not sure how to copy the files from the ubuntu cd image. The syslinux.cfg points directly to two files (vmlinuz and initrd.gz), which are in the install directory on the cd image, should I copy them over with the whole install directory or just extract t [03:34] supermatt1000: yes, there are installation instructions, You should try just following those [03:35] lullabud: Does that mean that dd doesn't actually write the data impossible to recover, but it makes it impossible to figure out how to read what was written, thus concealing the confidental data ? [03:35] ChogyDan thanks ill tell you if it works [03:35] no ZykoticK9 I got it from the site the one in my repository gives me problems and it doesn't support usb either [03:35] I don't know why that option is even on the program if its not supported - i hate those guys i swear [03:35] rautamiekka: imagine that i give you 20 numbers... i tell you to divide them all by 10. i can then have you multiply them all by 10 and get pretty much the original set of numbers. [03:36] olskolirc, ok i was just checking - you have the right version but i'm affraid your ubuntu version is too old for me to remember any suggestions [03:36] rautamiekka: if i have you divide them all by a random amount, i won't be able to get the original numbers back. [03:36] ChogyDan how do i set my teminal to a specific folder [03:36] supermatt1000: cd [03:36] I had it on fiesty with 2.2.4 before but i had to follow some instructions which I can't find anymore [03:36] lullabud: Which simply means ? Data is as gone as can be ? [03:36] ChogyDan ty [03:37] any female from Pakistan ? [03:37] omg [03:37] lol what [03:37] yes [03:37] rehanez: yes [03:37] Hmh, anyone who can help me with booting the ubuntu alternate installation disk from USB? [03:37] rautamiekka: it means that the relationship between one bit and the next is broken... so if you manage to get one bit back to the original value (the value before dd) you won't necessarily be able to get the next bits back, making that one bit that was recovered useless. [03:37] Hi! Why is it that "apt-get update" doesn't update packages shown to available through the GUI update-manager? [03:37] fr3nzy: why don't you use the usb-creator app? [03:38] rehanez: what you want exactly? [03:38] dyek: try dist-upgrade [03:38] Hi, something really bizarre is going on after I tried to move Ubuntu from Wubi to a real partition. The new grub doesn't work at all, and I always have to go into the old grub, etc. It seems it messed up with all the naming of partitions and such [03:38] ChogyDan, I've been following the documentation on help.ubuntu.com for this. [03:38] rehanez: i donno what you want exactly, i'm sorry [03:38] fr3nzy: link? [03:38] ha! http://www.davidgrant.ca/virtualbox_usb_windows_xp_guest_ubuntu_hardy [03:39] I'm just not sure how exactly should I copy the files over. [03:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/amd64/boot-usb-files.html [03:39] rautamiekka: basically, using random makes it incredibly more difficult than using zero. zero is just a way to clean a disk. random is a way of obliterating the data. [03:39] How can I know if I have 32 bit or 64 bit system? [03:39] researcher1, "uname -m" [03:39] thanks [03:39] Where does update-grub grabs info? It's heavily messed up on my PC. [03:40] lullabud: Oh I see. dd makes recovery attempts useless by screwing up the puzzle with pieces from other. Clever. [03:40] dyek, I'm pretty sure update-manager uses aptitude for it's updates [03:40] rautamiekka: exactly [03:40] ChogyDan: There is no such utility or package. Typo? [03:40] lullabud: Thank you for your patience. That cleared it out :) [03:40] what does i686 mean? [03:40] rautamiekka: de nada [03:40] researcher1, 32bit [03:40] dyek: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is that what you ran? [03:41] Does Adobe Photoshop work with Ubuntu using the Wine app? [03:41] ok [03:41] I need some help getting a linksys wireless card to work on an older compaq laptop. Ubuntu 9.10 is detecting the card, but doesnt seem to be turning it on. Any ideas? [03:41] dyek, try sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -- see if it gives you the missing packages [03:41] Semitones: OK. aptitude doesn't show that package are available too, but it showed in update-manager. [03:41] Graphettion, yes [03:41] Graphettion, search for your version at http://www.winehq.org/ [03:41] researcher1: i686 is practically same as i384 but i686 contains performance+execution algorithms which allow for more speed, and to do what you couldn't do without them. [03:41] does anyone know of a tutorial that shows you how to encrypt your swap partition post-installation? [03:42] fr3nzy: sorry, I don't know [03:42] Thank you verb3k, ZykoticK9 [03:42] "vmlinuz" and "initrd.gz" are on the /install directory, and I'm not sure if I should copy the whole directory structure from the cd and make the syslinux.cfg file to reflect that or should I just extract those two files and make some adjustments to the rest - I want the whole alternate CD to be functional. [03:42] Graphettion, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2631 [03:42] Ah ok then, thank for your time though. [03:42] Is there any safe way to use an iPod touch with linux? [03:42] dyek, I'm going to search google to find out what update-manager uses, just a sec [03:42] tcsoccerman: What do you mean 'safe'? [03:43] researcher1: Which means, i686 is your best bet if you can choose between i686 and one with lower numbers. If I've understood correctly, if the CPU don't support i686, it'll still run with the ones it supports. [03:43] a stable program [03:43] tcsoccerman, reportedly they work out of the box in Lucid - only 47 more days till release [03:43] Semitones: OK. So, "aptitude safe-upgrade" does show a lot of upgrade available. I think that is that I need. [03:43] i686 does not mean you are booted into 64-bi [03:43] x86_64 means 64-bit [03:43] really? Wow! [03:43] dyek, glad to hear that :) [03:43] That's good one you pointed out lullabud. Back in days I had tho that i686 = 64bit [03:43] verb3k: I guess CS4 doesn't work, heh [03:43] But I know it's not [03:44] why not use gimp [03:44] Don't have experience with it. [03:44] ChogyDan for the ./config command it says i need libxtst to compile this program [03:44] tcsoccerman, http://www.techhail.com/linux/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-suppots-iphone-and-ipod-touch-out-of-the-box/3710 [03:44] Graphettion, those tests are old, things might have changed with latter wine releases [03:45] goddard: GIMP is difficult but very powerful when you get to know it. I'm wrong person to be asked more than that about it :D [03:45] some things are different but overall they are both just as effective from my experience [03:45] supermatt1000: sudo apt-get install libxtst6 [03:45] verb3k: kk, I will try it. [03:45] Thank you. [03:45] np [03:45] Graphettion: honestly, there are a lot of things gimp can't do that photoshop can, such as folders in layers [03:45] lullabud, you mean layer grouping? [03:45] lullabud is that it? that doesn't sound like a required feature [03:46] layer grouping is coming in gimp 2.8 [03:46] goddard: no, that's not it, that's just the most recent example of a conversion i had to do for a friend who didn't have photoshop handy... [03:46] ChogyDan, can usb-creator be used from cli? I don't have gnome atm. [03:46] verb3k: no, not layer grouping. in photoshop you can have a folder where you drop multiple layers into it, but they're not necessarily locked together. [03:46] I didn't mean to start an argument. :~ [03:46] lullabud I'd be interested in seeing a comparison with plugins [03:46] why does my wifi card not show up in nm-applet unless I reinstall gnome-network-manager and reboot? [03:46] ChogyDan it says unable to lock administration directory [03:47] ZykoticK9, that is excellent news to hear. I've been installing gtkpod and all that shannanigans for a while and finally gave up because it was such a mess. I cannot wait for 10.04 [03:47] ANYONE: i'm installing applications on new install. one application, adblock-plus said something about "dummy package" in description. what does "dummy package" mean? [03:47] goddard: that would be intersting... honestly i don't have any experience with gimp except converting psd files for my friends who use it. i use cs4 though === kappawhat is now known as kappaccino [03:47] Hi everybody! === roscogruen is now known as rosco [03:48] roscogruen: a dummy package is just something that is a placeholder to satisfy a dependency or some other requirement. [03:48] lullabud yeah my experience is limited to designing website headers so nothing to advance [03:48] I just installed 10.04 alpha 3 [03:48] so far so good [03:48] could anyone help on this? "dummy package?" [03:48] hey is anyone family with developing on Mono? [03:48] hi how can i get mpg codecs using apt-get, my text to speech is having problems with the gtk password grab to do it from movie player [03:48] rosco: see my reply, not sure if you got it before you changed your name... [03:49] hi [03:49] fr3nzy: I don't think it can. [03:49] I'll give it a try then. [03:49] anyone know if there's a way to take a screenshot without showing the mouse? [03:49] Samp: scrot [03:49] supermatt1000: do you have another installing program open? like synaptic [03:49] how come i don't have a "domount" command and none in the repo [03:49] Samp, the program in accessories has that as an option [03:49] I think [03:49] how can I use my skype account on my other powerpc comp my mom uses which has ubuntu 9.10 on it [03:49] ? [03:49] Samp, even Application / Accessories / Take screenshot - has an option to "include pointer" [03:50] Fudge: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? i think there are some codecs in there. [03:50] ChogyDan nope [03:50] oh. i always use the print screen key. [03:50] supermatt1000: did you use sudo? [03:50] any software developers on here? [03:50] or programmers... === jacob__ is now known as Dougdoug4 [03:50] ShapeShifter499: skype has an installer for ubuntu that you can download from their site, but if you're using 8.06 you can just install it using apt-get [03:51] lullabud, thx. i didn't see it. i want "adblock." i installed "adblock-plus." description says, "transitional dummy package." is this the package i want? the descriptiion is anything but what i'd expect to see [03:51] i'm not seeing "take screenshot" in accessories for some reason. It doesn't matter if you get there via alt+f1 right? [03:51] rosco: no, don't worry about dummy packages. they're just there to act as a placeholder for dependency resolution. [03:51] amit1_, this is a ubuntu support channel. What's your question? [03:51] rosco: it's ok to install them [03:51] lullabud: on powerpc platforms? [03:51] what is the best way to deploy a kernel module [03:51] ShapeShifter499: ooooh... ppc... hmm. probably not. =/ [03:51] on ubuntu... [03:52] Hi, something really bizarre is going on after I tried to move Ubuntu from Wubi to a real partition. The new grub doesn't work at all, and I always have to go into the old grub, etc. It seems it messed up with all the naming of partitions and such [03:52] Where does update-grub grabs info? It's heavily messed up on my PC. [03:52] ChogyDan that was it for got to use that [03:52] Can someone give me a link that explains how to install hardware to ifconfig? [03:52] Samp, it shouldn't matter how you get there, but one should have been installed by default. If it's not there, try searching synaptic for it [03:52] ShapeShifter499: it's unfortunate about ppc. i had a G5 and it was giving me headaches the same way... i wasn't too disappointed when it died. [03:52] !grub | lunks [03:52] lunks: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [03:52] I have created a Kernel module for a PCI device...do I just have to copy it to /lib/modules? [03:52] lullabud i cant find tha tpackage [03:52] and run depmod? [03:52] how to make a file read only ? do i make it read only in all permission settings in nautilus ? [03:52] !grub2 [03:52] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:53] hi, can i get some help regarding ssl certs? [03:53] Lexmark X2600 Driver for 8.04 presents a GUI interface when the following file is executed: lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh, meant for 8.04, which has a password dialog window that cannot interpret my password from Karmic. Thoughts? [03:53] lullabud, THX! [03:53] Semitones, thanks! [03:53] lullabud, bye [03:53] Fudge: hmm... not really sure. you might want to look some more or check the ubuntu forums. or maybe somebody else in here knows the right package to install. [03:53] ChogyDan i am getting the same error for libxtst [03:53] I know I can just add an "insmod" command to the local startup script, but I thought there should be a better way to automatically load the module at startup when the proper pci device is detected.. [03:53] Semitones, looks like I accidentally replaced grub2 for grub on the transfer proccess [03:53] thanks [03:53] pgrep rocks [03:54] ah, ok. I just added it through the main menu editor, seems checking that box saves prefs that apply even when you hit print screen. [03:54] greezmunkey: wow, that is handy [03:54] lunks, transfer process? [03:54] supermatt1000: maybe try installing libxtst6-dev [03:54] ChogyDan could you send me a pm please [03:54] Semitones, from a loop-mounted disk to a real partition [03:55] amit1_, if nobody in here can help you right now, you might be able to find help on the forums [03:55] amit1_, I wish I knew something about kernel modules :P [03:55] oh okay, I'll try the forums :) [03:55] ChogyDan it says you are away [03:55] lunks, oh, well good luck getting it fixed [03:55] amit1_, good luck :) [03:56] amit1_: if you just want to force a module load at boot, add the module name to /etc/modules [03:56] lullabud, I actually created my own with a shell script, and then came across pgrep in a how-to! [03:56] I had question about some ssl lines on the ubuntu help pages, what do these 2 lines mean? openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -x509 -days 3650 -out smtpd.crt # has prompts [03:56] openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650 [03:56] greezmunkey: haha, funny when that happens... anymore, before i write a script i think "is this something somebody would have already written?" [03:56] brjann: is this how other kernel modules would work? [03:56] greezmunkey: which is how i found prename [03:57] lullabud: prename? [03:57] greezmunkey: perl syntax renaming tool [03:57] brjann: I mean if you were to download a kernel module for a device, would you just add it to /etc/modules? [03:57] hello! i installed wicd and removed network manager, and now my wireless card does not show up in ifconfig, any ideas? [03:57] lullabud: let me man that... [03:57] lullabud: ah [03:57] amit1_: /etc/modules is useful for modules that for whatever reason aren't loaded by the kernel even though they should be. [03:58] hi morning [03:58] lullabud: I can guarantee that if I come up with an idea in 'nix, son=me else has though of it first! [03:58] greezmunkey: haha, some day that will change :) [03:58] amit1_: generally speaking modules are autoloaded when the hardware is detected, without needing to add them to /etc/modules. but sometimes that just doesn't work right [03:58] anybody know if ubuntu 9.10 support OpenGL 3.x ? [03:58] greezmunkey: some day you'll be like "omg, i'm going to write this really complex app" and nobody would have already written it === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [04:00] Is Ubuntu 10.04 optimized for power consumption on notebooks? [04:00] sun: not sure if this is useful, but glxinfo | grep -i version shows 2.1 on my ubuntu 9.10 system. [04:00] Or is there a way to turn this feature "on" [04:01] Anyone who's succesfully put an installation cd for ubuntu alternate on USB manually? I have a few questions. [04:01] amit1_: all lucid support questions should be directed to #ubuntu+1 [04:02] hey guys... i installed wicd and removed network manager and now my wireless network interface doesnt show up in ifconfig, any ideas? [04:02] fridgerator wicd not woeking? [04:03] i guess not, somehow after installing it my wireless card does not show up in ifconfig... only wired card [04:03] anybody know if ubuntu 9.10 support OpenGL 3.x ? [04:03] fridgerator runwicd-client and try join to network [04:05] no wireless networks found [04:05] fridgerator sudo /etc/init.d/wicd [04:05] in ifconfig i only have eth0 - my wired card, wireless card diseared [04:06] fridgerator iwconfig [04:06] not ifconfig [04:06] w=wireless [04:07] ahhh... wlan0 is my wireless, not eth0 [04:07] cool, thanks dude! [04:07] np ;) [04:07] How do you set power on when it is set off? [04:08] In iwconfig [04:08] Everytime I try to unmute my mic on my USB device... I click close, when I open the volume settings it auto mutes again... anyone know why? [04:09] you know, i'm so happy that the ubuntu crowd is friendly. so many other chat rooms are full of jerks. [04:09] yay ubuntu [04:09] lullabud stick around a while [04:10] haha, i've never seen it get as bad in here as i have other places [04:10] haha, most linux users have a massive ego [04:10] lullabud just joking :) - the worst it gets is getting warned about being OT [04:10] eh... i wouldn't say so. i think most loud people on IRC do though ;-) [04:10] Why don't they make a damn operating system that supports all files, etc. [04:11] Ugh! [04:11] Graphettion it's called "proprietary". Otherwise known as "show me the money!" [04:11] i thought programs supported files.. Not OS's [04:11] then again.. is there an actual Ubuntu issue here? I missed it. [04:11] has ubuntu 9.10 put some sort of firewall in place i dont know about? [04:12] harry-houdini1: theres no default firewallrules by default. [04:12] Or is it all copyright related? [04:12] harry-houdini1 you can check yourself with "sudo iptables -L" in a terminal window [04:12] harry-houdini1: check with sudo iptables --list [04:12] -L = --list (i think) :) [04:12] or did i get the case wrong? [04:12] Dr_Willis you are an op here - you are always right ;_ [04:12] void_pointer: i just read a lot. [04:13] void_pointer: i cant even rember the last time i used iptables : [04:13] you got it right Dr_Willis [04:13] but yeah, I'm pretty sure -L == --list [04:13] i am getting connection refused trying to connect to tightvnc ... [04:13] I want to build ffmpeg but 'sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg' complains it cannot find source package, what do I need [04:13] long options use 2 dashes according to some standard that i cant rember. :) then ya got programs that break that standard. [04:14] hipitihop: enable the -src repos , update package list, and try again [04:14] harry-houdini1 did your "sudo iptables -L" show anything besides "ACCEPT"s? [04:14] no all ACCEPTS [04:14] harry-houdini1 ok, at least you know it's not the firewall [04:14] tightvnc tells me its running for :1 [04:15] i wonder do i have to enable remote x somewhere in xwindows [04:15] How do I turn on the wireless card in iwconfig? [04:15] what the best way to stream video across the internet from an Ubuntu server to a kubuntu notebook [04:15] I tried ampache but it does not do video very well [04:15] Jerky: vlc can do video streaming [04:15] harry-houdini1: not for vnc normally [04:16] JErky, have you looked at vlc [04:16] does anyone know why Mobile Broadband connections have like a 50/50 chance of showing up in the network menu on ubuntu netbook remix? [04:16] well, i have a whole library that I want to stream [04:16] harry-houdini1 what about the other side of the connection? Is there a firewall there? [04:16] yes i use it === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [04:16] Jerky: you can set it up to play through many files [04:16] Jerky, well afaik streaming is one of its strengths [04:17] whats afaik? [04:17] nope no firewall there either [04:17] Jerky: as far as i know [04:17] Jerky, "as far as I know" [04:17] ahh [04:17] lol i feel like a fool [04:18] harry-houdini1 ok, the next thing to check is if you are going through a router and NAT to reach the vnc box [04:18] Jerky, if you read the vlc documentation you will find all you need to stream ... it can transcode on teh fly and all [04:18] ok but i have a lot of videos on my server, so if i am on the road, is there an easy way to do it [04:18] harry-houdini1 it's been a while since I used vnc but I think it's port 5900 you'd have to port forward through the router [04:18] Jerky: oooh, so what you want is remote access to your videos, not necessarily to have them streaming over the internet.... [04:18] !checkinstall > supermatt1000 [04:18] supermatt1000, please see my private message [04:18] yeah [04:19] thanks the hosts are on the same lan [04:19] like i want to be on my notebook across the country and pick a movie i want to watch from my server [04:19] i've accidently removed the ubuntu ppa's from my software sources, is there a default source.list i can download or that is stored somewhere? [04:19] Jerky, don't know the answer to that, perhaps someone else knows [04:19] harry-houdini1 ok. Well, we've about reached the end of my knowledge of vnc. Sorry :) [04:19] hipitihop: thanks for your help [04:20] harry-houdini1 maybe it's a vnc-specific config setting [04:20] Jerky: well, vlc does the transcoding on the fly, so that's nice for when you're on a slow connection... [04:20] lullabud: yeah, i know, i have tried a bunch of stuff, just seeing if anyone has an idea [04:20] Jerky: there's got to be a better app. i just can't think of it... slingbox would be rad, but that is hardware. [04:21] lullabud: yeah i just wish there was a super easy wat to do vlc [04:21] but its like you gotta ssh into the server and bla bla bla [04:21] many steps i think [04:21] there may be a web app to do it in the browser, if not it would be not a huge deal to make something quickly that would do it. [04:22] Dr_Willis, enabling the src repos did the trick, thanks. [04:22] buttons840: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Ubuntu%20Software%20Tab [04:23] Jerky: man, yeah... looks like linux is lacking in that regard. from what i heard though, vlc is ramping up their streaming stuff. [04:24] Jerky: also, vlc has a web interface that's available. you might try that. [04:24] lullabud: i love vlc, i use it to stream from ampache [04:24] lullabud: hmm didnt realize they had a web interface [04:24] Jerky: - http://wiki.videolan.org/Web_Interface [04:24] has anyone here installed ubuntu on a system that has NO operating system on it by default? [04:25] ddrj: yeah [04:25] lullabud: did u go the booting ubuntu installer from usb route? [04:25] ddrj: i'm sure many of us have. it's a pretty common thing. [04:25] ddrj: i've done it from usb and dvd [04:25] ahh ok good!!! [04:25] i got this error when trying to boot from USB [04:25] No bootable partition in table. [04:26] ddrj: how did you create your usb disk? [04:26] it's set as active partition, used that unetbootin tool to create the usb [04:26] i used unetbootin, specified iso and browsed to ubuntu 9.10 iso [04:26] Q: 9.10/64bit Turning mouse acceleration to lowest doesn't actually turn it off. Is there a way to edit something and actually turn accel off? thanks much. [04:26] Jerky, I don't remember the standard now something four letter acrnoym like PPtd <- pretty sure that's not it, which allows various players to see and select from a list of available media [04:26] ddrj: unfortunately, booting usb still has a lot of problems. =/ [04:26] ;\\ yeah... i don't have a cd drive or floppy on target OS [04:26] can someone help a ubuntu newb? how do I get a newer version of a kernel module driver (from unstable)? some sort of dpkg command line thing? [04:26] err target machine [04:27] did you enable boot removable devices in bios? [04:27] ddrj: what machine is it? you might be able to find people who have done the same thing. [04:27] tbh, just a custom built one lullabud [04:27] lullabud: I am booting from SD card. :) [04:27] ddrj: also, it sounds like you may have done the usb creation wrong. it seems like it's finding a bootable device, but not the bootable partition. [04:27] lullabud: if you think booting from USB is hard... lol [04:28] linagee: yeah, haha, unfortunately a lot of hardware has problems booting from anything except cdrom, hard disk and floppy. not all of it though, a lot of it is great at booting off alternative media. [04:28] Jerky, and apparently vlc also has a plugin for it. but I have not used the stuff myself. [04:28] lullabud: (no bios support to boot from SD card. I have grub set up on my physical hard drive, then I had to edit initrd.img because they also thought you don't need to be booting from SD card) [04:28] lullabud: hm.... what do you mean? i dl'ed the ubuntu 9.10 iso, opened up unetbootin, specified iso and then it created it onto my usb drive [04:28] hipitihop: thanks [04:29] Jerky, no problem, sorry for being vague in the last bit. [04:29] How could an idiot contribute to ubuntu? [04:29] ddrj: oooh, you know, another thing is that not all usb devices are bootable. some of them have firmware updates available that make them bootable. [04:29] also the partition's set as active / primary [04:29] ahhhh [04:29] can someone tell me what the current replacement for liblame-dev is ? [04:29] Dougdoug4: test things, report bugs to forums and such [04:29] crap, it may not be bootable then x\\ [04:29] linagee: test things such as..? [04:29] this is just a cheap office depot brand [04:29] Dougdoug4: on your computer [04:29] like programs? [04:29] Dougdoug4: hardware/software/etc [04:30] lullabud: is there any alternative other than USB / cd / floppy to installing ubuntu? can i do a network install or anything ? [04:30] ddrj: why do you need that? get a USB CD drive and boot from that. (or does your bios support booting from USB CD?) [04:30] ddrj: you could boot over the network, but that's pretty involved. [04:31] linagee: hmm yeah but i don't have a usb cd drive or any friends that have one ;( [04:31] ddrj: what kind of usb drive are you trying to boot from? [04:32] I have an acer aspire one netbook. how funny it is that video runs smoothly in ubuntu and jerky in windows 7. (I think it has too much crap loaded by default such as mcafee, etc.) [04:32] lullabud: this is an Ativa 2GB [04:32] ddrj: ebay [04:32] ddrj: http://boot.kernel.org/ [04:32] when i do an aptitude update, there is one of the repos which is stuck at 'waiting for headers'. how do i pinpoint which particular repo is that? [04:32] thanks checking [04:33] rohan: wireshark? lol [04:34] chelz, i didn't see anything in your link about restoring my sources.list. i've lost the sources.list file and was wondering if i could get a default one from anywhere? [04:34] my friend is trying to remove desktop into my ubuntu pc from windows using vnc but cant? [04:34] ddrj: looks like other people are having boot problems with that flash device... [04:34] ddrj: *usb device [04:34] do i need to have vnc on my ubuntu for him to access it? [04:34] buttons840: try unchecking and rechecking stuff in there. it might make a new one. [04:34] masu3701: trying to remove desktop?? [04:34] masu3701: call a professional mover? [04:34] ? [04:35] ddrj: do you have a different usb stick you can use? [04:35] masu3701: read what you wrote before throwing question marks out there [04:35] lullabud: woah thanks, how did u know that others were having problems with it? also yeah i can find another usb device, would u recommend any? (i can buy from walmart real quick) [04:35] you know wat i was trying to say so [04:35] ddrj: google told me. [04:35] masu3701: not really. remove desktop? [04:35] hahaha [04:36] remote [04:36] lullabud: can i pm u? [04:36] ddrj: sure [04:37] ddrj: PNY from walmart works [04:37] Hi everyone. I have a doubt. if a do the command line "man fwrite" (for example) the shell says the don't have the manual entry for fwrite. [04:37] ddrj: I tried doing the ISO/USB boot thing with a 16GB walmart PNY USB drive [04:37] i think that masu3701 would like to take advantage of ubuntu's remote desktop capabilities [04:37] linagee: thanks !!! i'll get that then, cus this ativa's a POS office depot knock off brand [04:38] ddrj: not that you need 16GB for an ISO, but it was only $50 or so and I will of course reuse it [04:38] yaw [04:38] hmm i think i'll just get a 1gb maybe! :X :P [04:38] ddrj: why don't you return it when you're done too? that will complete the cheapskateness. :P [04:38] somebody can help me with a tv online site [04:38] or a program [04:39] plss [04:39] masu3701: look in your system's settings for remote desktop. ubuntu builds in the vnc server [04:39] hahahha very funny linagee [04:39] it's just that i lose usb drives very quickly [04:39] i lost 2 to the washer already [04:39] ddrj: I don't think they have 1GB PNY USB drives at walmart anymore btw. I think 2GB or 4GB is the smallest now [04:39] one is lost somewhere around here [04:39] I have an hp tx2525nr with ubuntu 9.10 x64 and i cant seem to get it to recognize the wireless drivers. [04:39] anyone what to help me figure out why I can't write to my fat32 partition [04:40] hi, is there anyone, who can help me with apache and ssl (https) mode? [04:40] Nickalai: i did alow access in remote desketop ...and hes using windows, so he installed vnc viewer [04:40] but he cant connect to my pc [04:40] anyway i can tell it to look in the ubuntu cd based on the name of the wifi card? [04:40] does anybodys mouse pointer disappear from time to time [04:40] masu3701: can he telnet to the port you're running your VNC server on? [04:41] didnt try that [04:41] I get the following, can someone help me resolve: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:41] libx264-dev: Depends: libx264-67 (= 1:0.svn20090621+git364d7d-0ubuntu2) but 1:0.svn20090703-0.0ubuntu1~karmic~ppa1 is to be installed [04:41] same network correct? ip settings are correct? password correct? [04:41] masu3701: and then also, can you? (from a remote test server) [04:41] linagee: didnt get that [04:41] Hey all. I'm trying to find the developer server that someone posted to me to find the xUbuntu wallpaper, now i'm looking for the murrina theme. Anyone know the link? [04:41] masu3701: didn't get what [04:42] how do i get drivers for a Broadcom 4321 AG wifi adapter? [04:42] linagee: to complete the cheapskate part, i'm about to try installing ubuntu from my camera via usb :) (gotta give credit to lullabud) [04:42] ddrj: LOL [04:42] linagee: what you mean.....i trying to remote desktop into my own pc and was able...but he cant [04:42] ddrj: or just get a drive and don't destroy them in the washer. :) [04:42] im looking out for a CD burner.. which softwares are available? [04:43] yeah easier said than done :P [04:43] masu3701: can you connect to your VNC server from a remote shell/host on the internet [04:43] man, i ran my ipod nano through the washing machine and it worked fine [04:43] the bravado cd/dvd burner that comes with ubuntu 9.10 is pretty fast and reliable [04:43] crazy but true [04:43] linagee: do i need to install vnc? === carlos is now known as Guest50990 [04:43] masu3701: ? [04:43] chelz, i can't get my sources.list restored === james is now known as Guest85185 [04:44] I know the theme didn't just disappear. ;) [04:44] masu3701: I don't get the question. are you just assuming linux (Xorg) has VNC by default or something? there is no default to assume in linux [04:44] chelz, i'm not use to the gui, i usually just edit the file [04:44] how can i find the path to my iphone that i just plugged in to my linux box? [04:44] Guest85185: the path? [04:45] bigtom21485: thats what i used.. But im unable to add more files to it after i burn it once.. And by default the multisession is enabled.. [04:45] Guest85185: do you have an automounter running or something? [04:45] not really sure what is happening. [04:45] does anyone else know of a default sources.list for apt? i just had a typical ubuntu 9.10 file until i ruined it... [04:45] buttons840: - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [04:45] does anyone know when 10.4 is coming out? the first of next month maybe? :) [04:46] linagee, 47 days until release [04:46] ZykoticK9: tick tock tick tock. :) [04:46] cool [04:46] linagee: so do i need to install vnc also? cause i didnt...all i did was enabling remote desktop in the settings [04:46] when it's released i'm gonna delete my windows [04:46] linagee, 5 days till beta 1 [04:46] wrapster: im on a dual boot vista/ubuntu laptop and i cant get ubuntu to see my wifi card so im trying to figure out why it found my wifi card when i ran from the livecd but not now that i have it installed on my hard drive [04:46] lullabud, that has a 8.04 sources.list [04:46] linagee I don't know because it mounts at a photo device when pluged in however I am getting ready to try ifuse and it said i need to provide a path to my device... [04:46] ZykoticK9: does netbook remix come out as part of that, or do we have to wait extra? [04:47] buttons840: you just change "hardy" to be whatever version you're using [04:47] lullabud, also has a little note at the bottom "this is not a complete list" so i'm hesitant to use it [04:47] I am trying to help a friend to connect two computers (1st one is a Ununtu box, the other a windows XP box.) to a DSL modem/router. Do I use a router or switch? [04:47] linagee, Netbook Remix has been renamed to "Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE)" and yes should be same release date [04:47] ZykoticK9, I always jump in around beta1. Kernel freeze means most craziness is fixed ;-) [04:47] guess it's better than nothing [04:47] Guest85185: open a prompt and type mount. it will tell you all mounted devices and where they are mounted [04:47] detrix: typicaly a switch [04:48] linagee will do brb [04:48] Hey guys i have this line in my fstab "/dev/sda6 /media/Documents vfat quiet,defaults,rw 0 0" but i still cannot write to it? can someone explain why? [04:48] detrix: and frequently DSL routers hjave one built in. [04:48] mrenouf, hope you like crazy button placement (i'll drop subject #ubuntu+1 for Lucid discussion) [04:48] ZykoticK9: renamed. interesting. nice about the simaltaneous release [04:49] masu3701: I don't know about any VNC gui preinstalled utilities of ubuntu [04:49] cfedde: this one seems to only allow one. there is only one port on the dsl modem. [04:50] linagee: i think vino is preinstall in ubuntu as the vnc server [04:50] detrix: ah. then a low end 5 port switch will need to be chained from the dsl modem/router [04:50] cfedde: which is why I think a switch is needed [04:50] detrix: does the port output PPPoE data, or is it already authenticated? If it's the second one, you might be able to hook it to a switch [04:50] masu3701: do you see the server running, do you see it listening on the port? I would check all of these first [04:50] buttons840: what version are you using? [04:51] let one of the boxes do the pppoe and the other can just client along. [04:51] how do i get drivers for a Broadcom 4321 AG wifi adapter? [04:51] cfedde: unless the DSL modem/router is outputting PPPoE data. then hooking it to a switch would not be an optimal thing [04:51] linagee: as far as I know, my friend does not need to enter in a username or password... [04:51] linagee: could be. [04:51] lullabud, i am using ubuntu 9.10 [04:51] detrix: PPPoE data can be cached in a variety of places [04:52] detrix: er, PPPoE credentials [04:52] linagee: not sure how to check that [04:52] Isnt the new "brand" theme in lucid? I hear people talking about it so I installed lucid alpha 3 in a VM and I see human... wheres brand at?? [04:52] masu3701: how to check to see it's running. know the process name, use top. how to check to see if it's listening on a port. use netstat [04:53] top or ps [04:53] or a variety of graphical tools that do the same thing top/ps and netstat. (but why add a layer of complexity just for a gui) [04:53] I want to set up my own mail server of sorts, which will go get my mail from my work's exchange server, as well as pull from gmail (and maybe one day, hotmail, then THE WORLD!!!), so that I can check my power bill in mutt [04:54] buttons840: i'm looking for the command right now... [04:54] Anyone have much experience with SSD + Trim and Alignments - just got Ubuntu Server 9.10, upgraded to kernel 2.6.33 - but I've now read up on having alignment offset set, however this is on a Server I do not have physical access to so Live CD is out, not to mention reformatting SSDs as thats where my only OS sits. Ideas? [04:54] daddysmurf: sounds like a lot of work just to check your power bill [04:54] lullabud, a command to what? [04:54] buttons840: it would just be too easy to pastebin my 9.10 file to you ;-) [04:54] daddysmurf: can't you just set up mutt to check your gmail? there's no reason to set up a server [04:54] buttons840: to reset your sources.list [04:54] lullabud, that is fine [04:55] it's actually something i've wanted to do, but didnt' know how, and your issue reminded me. [04:55] linagee: i dont see it.. [04:55] Debian911: ideas: should have gotten an iLO or a DRAC [04:55] linagee, IdleOne: this is really just kind of another attempt at learning, combined with as step of a larger project [04:55] linagee: > [04:55] lullabud, a command to restore a default file? wouldn't that require a default file being stored elsewhere? [04:55] Debian911: greater than? [04:56] linagee: was meant to say ? [04:56] buttons840: yes. just like dpkg-reconfigure can restore default configs [04:56] Debian911: iLO = HP's remote console. DRAC is Dell's. [04:56] **clocks ahead one hour tonight.*** [04:56] Thundarr: why [04:56] Thundarr: my computer takes care of things like that. === felipe__ is now known as felipe_crimson [04:57] does your computer take care of the time in your car? your microwave? your watch? [04:57] in the end, I'd like to be able to run my own domain's mail, as well as funnel any and all outside sources to my hardware, then possible set it up on a laptop for when I go on vacation and have spotty connection. Then I'll take the laptop down to mcd's and by the end of a small fry, I can take my mail back to wherever I am and read it interweb-free :D [04:57] the clocks around your house? your bedside alarm? [04:57] Thundarr: car, yes (GPS). microwave - it's recently broke :(. my watch - what's a watch? do you mean my phone which also automatically updates? [04:57] Thundarr: aren't all those things just small computers? [04:58] Thundarr: what's a bedside alarm? do you mean my phone? [04:58] linagee: well unfort. im stuck with this atm, was wondering if anyone were fimiular with SSD [04:58] wow you people are arrogant pricks. [04:58] !attitude | Thundarr [04:58] Thundarr: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [04:58] Thundarr: not arrogant, just obnoxious and sarcastic. I thought it was funny [04:58] Thundarr: the clocks around my house all sync to atomic clocks [04:59] linagee: maybe there is such a thing as too much geek [04:59] buttons840: well, i'm coming up empty handed... http://pastebin.com/CnsbwkkA [04:59] daddysmurf: having a phone that replaces a watch and alarm clock? I know many people that are at least that geeky [04:59] I love my Nokia 6220 Classic :D [04:59] using your phone as an alarm clock is like something poor people do [04:59] !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] Thundarr: haha, what do you use for an alarm clock? [05:00] an actual alarm clock [05:00] Thundarr: rich people take the extra time to maintain multiple devices? [05:00] alarm clocks are for poor people [05:00] my phone does not replace my vcr :) [05:00] Thundarr: that's so 80's ;-) [05:00] hence the term 'alarm clock' [05:00] I have both [05:00] so I am middle class [05:00] waking up when you don't want to is also for poor people [05:00] a tv online site plss can you help me? [05:00] Preposteruss: no. if you get your alarm clock at rent-a-center, then you're poor. :) [05:00] lol [05:01] Preposteruss: making monthly payments on an alarm clock. ROFL [05:01] the new Sony-buntu Dream Machine with htop! [05:01] (using their credit card to make those payments too) [05:01] i know someone making payments on a watch [05:01] 400 a month... [05:01] Is there any way I can install the new "light" theme that's coming to lucid on karmic?? [05:01] Preposteruss: I can buy a multi-purpose phone for that much. :) [05:01] lullabud, thank you [05:01] So currently no way to realign SSDs without a wipe occuring on drives? [05:02] buttons840: np [05:02] yeah, i spent half that on my phone [05:02] and it runs debian [05:02] Debian911: yes [05:02] Roasted: it is located somewhere in lucid, not sure where though, I do not use GNOME [05:02] Debian911: go to the site. make a backup. redo things. :) [05:02] Debian911: that is a way [05:02] linagee: haha I wish :) [05:02] tscof I have lucid alpha 3 installed in a VM, and I dont see it anywhere - I still have the human theme... [05:02] Roasted: you simply need to take the files and move them to /home/user/.themes/ [05:02] Roasted: its avail for download at several ubuntu blog/news sites.. but the theme basically stinks. :) [05:02] Debian911: if the site is too far, use the server monkies or iLO/DRAC. === roscogruen is now known as J_Rey [05:03] I've always wondered why *buntu/suse/fedora/etc have version numbers, when it's really the individual software that changes [05:03] Debian911: if there are no server monkies or iLO/DRAC, then it really isn't a server. it's a fail-in-a-box [05:03] <3 drac [05:03] Roasted: try http://gnome-look.org === J_Rey is now known as oops [05:03] linagee: i think you can only remote desktop into pc on the same network [05:03] Dr_Willis, it really doesn't, but I wouldn't mind a link or some sort of direction on where I can try it out. [05:03] so i guess that is the reason why he cant get access === oops is now known as BigNike [05:03] masu3701: do you have NAT set up? do you have a router? learn2route [05:03] masu3701: ssh with tunnel is a damn thing :) [05:04] Roasted: ive been using it - yes it does.. i think one site i saw it at was webupd8 or somthing lke that [05:04] Hello [05:04] Dr_Willis, what dont you like about it? [05:04] linagee: i do have a router... === BigNike is now known as rosco [05:04] If i edit the hosts file in etc/... and then reboot... when i do hostname -f, its says Unknown Host.. what could i be doing wrong [05:04] masu3701: and how is your friend trying to use it? with your public IP? [05:04] Dr_Willis, actually I just installed the PPA from webupd8 but I don't know where the theme is at... [05:05] masu3701: do you have the port correctly forwarded on the router? [05:05] linagee: we try both [05:05] Roasted: same problems most of the blogs say.. butons are hard to see and the put them on the left side is a total pain. [05:05] masu3701: do you even want to take the risk of having on open VNC port on the internet [05:05] Roasted: since you used the ppa the buttons may or may not be on the left side. If they are not.. they will be in the wrong order. [05:05] linagee: what will tht do? [05:05] Roasted: i think its called radience or somthing like that [05:05] Dr_Willis, I wish I could tell, but I dont have the theme PERIOD. [05:05] masu3701: nothing. until you are hacked. [05:05] oh... [05:05] let me look [05:05] linagee: lol [05:06] The whole way themes work in Gnome is showing that it needs work.. but with the next gnome3 stuff.. i imagine all the old themes will be useless :) [05:06] wow, this does suck [05:06] Roasted: told ya. [05:06] I just threw up in my mouth [05:07] if you set the buttons to the left like they want.. it looks ok.. for some windows.. and nasty for others. [05:07] what about the darker one that was on the display site? [05:07] Hi, could anyone help me. I think I know how to fix my problem but I can't quite carry it out. The problem is Window corruption with older ATI graphics cards. I found the fix for this in the release notes, but I lack the programming skills to carry it out completely. [05:07] theres other themes out i belive Roasted - some sites have them for download, or check the gnome-look and art sites. [05:07] Freak007: the fix is to buy a newer graphics card [05:07] linagee: so is there another program that will allow to remote desktop from outside the network? [05:07] Dr_Willis, meh. maybe I'll just stuck with human blue lucid I found on gnomelook... [05:08] it looked so much better in screenshots [05:08] masu3701: ???? [05:08] Roasted: i always use one of a few differnt themes.. that i like. [05:08] masu3701: open a port on your router to connect in to a PC on your network [05:08] Dr_Willis, whats your favorite? [05:08] masu3701: are you using DD-WRT? [05:09] linagee: dont know what that is [05:09] Roasted: ones that have the X button in a differnt color. and are easy on the eyes. [05:09] Roasted: and the window handles in a different color [05:09] Freak007: if a good programmer's time is worth $100/hr and if it takes even one hour to solve the problem, why would you not have bought a $100 graphics card instead? [05:10] Dr_Willis, what do you mean the window handles in a different color? You mean at the top of each window? kind of like how the default human theme is? [05:10] Roasted: at the bottom right/left [05:10] masu3701: there are a bunch of tips for remote desktop in here - http://lifehacker.com/tag/remote-computing/ [05:10] hello [05:10] hello :_ [05:10] :) [05:10] Roasted: like in the bluecurve theme i think [05:10] Dr_Willis, not sure I know what you mean... [05:10] There is a fix in the Ubuntu release notes, it an old computer, and I know that I can fix it I just don't understand some of the command details [05:11] Is there a way to make it so that when a new thing gets added to my desktop, it goes to the first open spot? Like, how can i make it so things that are named the same, dont go back to the spot they previously were? [05:11] lullabud: does that show how to set up a port forward when you don't even know how to work your router? [05:11] linagee: it shows alternatives to such a complex situation [05:11] Roasted: go look at themes/screen shots then [05:11] I'm having difficulties setting up xrandr with (identical) dual monitors on my new system. One is on DVI, and one is on VGA. No setting that I've tried has actually turned on the VGA one even though it shows up in xrandr, it shows up in Display Preferences and isn't off, etc. Am I missing something obvious here? [05:11] some one using fedra there now? [05:11] lullabud: I can't see how one document would account for thousands of different types of routers. :) [05:11] Roasted: the corners of the windows have 2 handles of a different color [05:11] linagee: there are alternatives to port-forwarding... [05:12] lullabud: open a VPN? hah [05:12] lullabud: uPNP? (even more LOL. lots of LOL on that one.) [05:13] Dr_Willis, like this? [05:13] http://www.jfedor.org/shots/gnome2.png [05:13] Why is "add" grayed out in the VPN tab? [05:13] I want to add a VPN connection.. [05:13] low [05:13] amit1_: you have to pay for it first [05:13] seriously? [05:13] lol [05:14] wow [05:14] amit1_: no, I'm just messing with you [05:14] amit1_: that was the case in the 90s though. VPN = $ [05:14] VPN still costs $ = Windows [05:14] linagee: even skype for linux has screen sharing built in, and it doesn't require port forwarding. [05:15] amit1_, are you using Network Manager? [05:15] - http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ [05:15] amit1_: what is Windows? sounds like some way to lure people out of $ by creating all sorts of licensing tiers and requirements [05:15] yes, the standard tool for ubuntu [05:15] lullabud: wtf is "sharing built in" [05:15] lullabud: skype does not require port forwarding for different reasons [05:15] linagee: as in, out-of-the-box screen sharing capabilities. [05:15] I have an option to "configure vpn" [05:15] !language | linagee [05:15] lullabud: they use their own servers as a go-between [05:16] but the "add" button is grayed out in the VPN tab [05:16] linagee: exactly. i was explaining how screen sharing can function without resorting to port forwarding, which is useful when people dont' know how to configure their routers [05:16] linagee: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:16] amit1_: NM will only allow you to create a vpn if NM manages the network interface. You probably need to clear /etc/network/interfaces (comment everything except lo) [05:16] linagee: for configuring routers, portforward.com is the best solution [05:16] om26er: wtf is not allowed? what the freak [05:16] linagee, no [05:16] :( [05:16] that is, http://portforward.com [05:17] all I have in interfaces is: [05:17] auto lo === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [05:17] amit1_: Look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient [05:17] face lo inet loopback [05:17] oh i need the plugin... [05:18] amit1_: if you want to use cisco's VPNs, then it equals $ [05:19] okay i'm installing the PPT plugin for NM [05:19] * downix is getting quite fustrated with the inability of getting any Linux distribution to see virtual disk 0 as sda, and they all insist on putting virtual disk 1 as sda [05:19] used for M$ VPNs [05:19] downix: what is virtual disk 0/1? [05:19] downix: sounds like a microsoft terminology [05:20] linagee, VD0 is a 160GB mirror, VD1 is a 1TB mirror, both set up in hardware raid on a SAS5i [05:20] amit1_: what is a PPT plugin? PPTP? [05:20] ANYONE: i installed ubuntu and tried a new screen resolution or "monitor configuration or something. it went rightt to "power save" [05:20] yes pptp [05:20] I think i have reboot now [05:21] loui: seen that happen if you set some parameter out of bounds for the monitor, refresh rate is the most common one [05:21] have installed the latest version of firefox on my xubuntu 8.04 & now flash doesn't seem to work.In fact,upon checking "add-ons",I have noticed that in addition to my version 10.0 r45 flashplayer,it seems that the new version Firefox {3.6} also comes with version 0.4.12 flashplayer & it's causing problems.Flash doesn't work at all now.Anyubody have any suggestions ? [05:21] ANYONE: i had to do a hard reset and am back in linux Mint. how do i get [05:21] downix: i had a file in there i want, badly [05:21] sorry about that long post everybody [05:21] faron: how do you install the latest version? [05:21] downix: any way to retrieve that file while back in Mint partion? [05:22] loui: how familiar with the command prompt are you? === Stik is now known as IAmNoobz [05:22] downix: i can copy/paste. [05:22] downix: ha. that is a joke, but true [05:22] linagee ? I already have the latest version but in addition to that version firefox 3.6 comes with version 0.4,12 [05:23] faron: Your Firefox version is not regularly provided by Karmic. You better ask in #ubuntu+1. [05:23] faron: just curious. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and noticed it only comes with an outdated version of firefox [05:23] aw noooooooo. I installed the lucid theme and it kicked ALL min/max/close icons in every window to the left for ALL themes. I want them on the right.... how can I do this? [05:23] faron: did you get it from unstable somehow, or add it in by hand or something? [05:23] linagee, because it was released when that *outdated* version was there [05:24] yes linagee that's true [05:24] om26er: why doesn't the firefox updater work then? :( [05:24] linagee, I read there are plans to backport firefox 3.6 for karmic and even back users [05:24] om26er: is it that hard to write an updater that says, "am I in a debian based environment? RPM based?" and then grab the appropriate upgrade binaries and install them? :( [05:25] I'd just be happy to get a working system again. [05:25] me too downix [05:26] downix: any ideas? i'd love to get the file back before i figure out issue with reconfiguring monitor settings? [05:26] linagee, provide updates and result the system to be unstable? (without proper testing) [05:26] loui: do you have a LiveCD of any sort? [05:26] i've lubuntu alpha3 and puppylinux [05:27] rizon.net [05:27] downix: ^ [05:27] om26er: isn't that what individual applications do? (firefox/etc) [05:27] i've also a ubuntu live usb [05:27] downix: ^ === IAmNoobz is now known as Stik [05:27] loui, that would do. You can login to the live version and copy files around within there [05:28] usb is xubuntu 8 downix [05:29] loui: so? You just need a basic interface, mount the disks you need to manipulate, and go at it [05:29] k. before i restart with liveCD, do you recommend puppy or lubuntu or xubuntu? [05:29] linagee, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-new-firefox-support-model/ [05:30] i could view file in liveCD? i just would like to view a very large file [05:30] i find it hard to reccomend 'puppy linux' except in special cases loui [05:30] Whichever you are comfortable with. And never had an issue with viewing files under a LiveCD [05:30] Dr_Willis: & downix k. when i restart, just use a file browser? [05:30] yup [05:31] downix: and Dr_Willis Thank yall! [05:31] bye [05:31] * om26er once tried the live session of fedora and its darn slow and laggy [05:32] * downix is trying re-installing the OS, still bizzare, and can't get it to boot. Linux wants to MBR sda, but it is the second virtual disk image, and the system boots off of the first [05:34] Hi! With Ubuntu Linux source code installed with "apt-get source linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic", can I copy existing /boot/config-2.6.31-20-generic into the Linux source tree and build the identical kernel? Or do I have to "make *config" all over again? [05:35] initrd? [05:38] Where can I get pk-gtk-module? from what I've read online its been removed during upgrades? [05:39] irc.freenode.net [05:39] hi everyone [05:40] I was wondering if it was possible to ask an install related question [05:41] I'm trying to get rox file manager to run right, but it's asking for pk-gtk-module, wich I can't seem to find. [05:41] do anybody try tonido yet? [05:41] damian: odd.. rox works here.. the pinboard feature dont work.. but thefile managert does [05:41] im a little stuck with flash in mozilla, think i installed too many plugins to handle it after i had a mostly good config [05:41] damian, Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module? [05:41] yes [05:42] damian, bug 389766 [05:42] I used the Kubuntu live CD. It booted into it perfectly. Then I logged into my wireless connection and it asked me if I wanted to download the nvidia driver. So I said, "yes". And it did it. Perfect. [05:42] damian, might be this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/389766 [05:43] So then I told it to go ahead and install kubuntu. And it did... clean install on my harddrive. [05:43] When I restarted the computer, it did not start X, instead I'm in the console. [05:43] thanks, Ill look into it. Can't use it for desktop Icons until I figure it out [05:43] This is because the nvidia module was missing and the nvidia driver needed to be installed again. [05:44] But I can't download it because my wireless is not working in console mode so it can't download the drivers. [05:44] damian: right the Pinboard feature of ROX filer that does the desktop icons doesent workhere.. or in 10.04 ive noticed [05:45] Is there a way to just transfer all the settings to the post-install? [05:47] eyce: What wireless card is it? [05:47] ok then lol, is there any desktop file managers that won't take over the desktop like nautalus? [05:48] if im in mozilla trying to manage plugins, im inable to change from this swfdecoder swf player which wont even play youtube or the like style videos [05:48] I'm tinkering with openbox and want to keep my rightclick settings wich get's lost with nautalus [05:48] damian: ROX filer does NOT take over the desktop unless you tell it to use its pinboard feature [05:48] for a short time i had a working configuration with adobe flash player [05:48] nautilus also has an option to not take over the desktop i recall [05:49] hi [05:49] now in add ons and software center i have ubuntu extention and add on for firefox [05:49] madjoe: you there? [05:49] lost my connection for a min [05:50] Quick question, if there's a package that's basically skipped a distro, which version should I install, the one from the older or the one from the newer distro [05:50] i am also loosing my connectin in xchat since last two weeks [05:50] the rox pin feature isn't working in ubuntu 9.10 === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [05:50] er 64 bit [05:50] damian_: its not working in 10.04 either [05:50] !info rox pin [05:50] 'pin' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, partner [05:51] what is that rox pin? [05:51] rox pinboard = the 'desktiop icon feature' of rox filer [05:51] rox --pinboard=default [05:51] hmm [05:51] to tryit out on a window maanger. GNOME may confluict withit [05:51] trying the latest reboot [05:51] crossing fingers that I can get it to load [05:51] putting file icons on the desktop, what nautalus does in standard systems [05:52] ok Ill try it :) [05:52] try what? You are not trying to use the pinbiard in gnome are you? [05:53] As ever, no boot device found [05:53] yes I am Dr_Willis, but the pin feature isn't working, so I have to try another manager instead [05:53] GRUB is on disk1, but the system boots off of disk0 [05:54] cool. 10.04 development release is already out there [05:54] * linagee plays with it [05:54] in gnome the pinbiard and Nautilus will confluct.. [05:55] Quick question, if there's a package that's basically skipped a distro, which version should I install, the one from the older or the one from the newer distro? (specifically, trayer, which had a release for Jaunty, and has one for Lucid, but nothing for Karmic) [05:56] soreau: looking that up.. just a second, thanks [05:56] GodfatherofEire: i wouldsay neither.. use source or find a PPA [05:56] I wonder what alpha/development mean? lol. barely working?

[05:58] linagee: there's often no 'official' definition. It means that someone took a look at it and said "it's not ready..." [05:58] still no boot [05:58] this is tiresome [05:58] Application tried to create a window, but no driver coudl be loaded. Make sure that your x server is running and that $display is set correctly. [05:58] I havefound 0 info for this on linux [05:59] And that is happening as your trying to install Wine? Or using a program with Wine? [05:59] Obeyence: wine windoesapp.exe normally [05:59] use a program [05:59] What program? [05:59] Obeyence: Details. [05:59] Obeyence: you are at the gnome desktop now? [05:59] wine DXSETUP.exe [05:59] = that error [05:59] Obeyence: DirectX? o.O [05:59] you normally DONT want to run direct X setup in wine [05:59] really.. anything i put into terminal that is using the wine command.

[06:01] As i have been going on and on about this for about 9 hours... [06:01] what fix? [06:01] you mean the give the proper path? [06:01] no [06:01] i understand proper pathing... [06:02] If you are cd'ed to the folder you can syntax it with no directory path... correct? [06:02] I dont know what this X server or $display is [06:02] yes should be able to [06:02] if I install a package from source and then install the same package with apt-get, are there any steps I need to take to ensure things don't get squashed or conflict? === jacob_ is now known as dougdoug4 [06:03] Obeyence: if you are on the gnome desktop it shoudl hage $DISPLAY allready set [06:03] not $display [06:03] Yes im not capsing it for ease of typing. [06:03] Im on a laptop atm that has a crap keyboard [06:03] hence styoes and stuff [06:04] Odd. I'm building the package from source, and it's telling me to run ./configure, but when I go to do that it says there's no file by that name [06:04] Im trying to play stalker 3 [06:04] =\ [06:04] I have been trying to play this game for 3 days now [06:04] Blaine_: in general, the apt-get package will just overwrite the source installed one, and it will be just as if the source install had never happened....... [06:04] trying lilo [06:04] if DISPLAY is not set. then inthory anything you try to run from that terminal wont display properly try a command like 'gnome-terminal' [06:04] What id Xserve? [06:04] X server [06:04] X is the core of teh GUI [06:05] GodfatherofEire manualy check and make sure that the configure file is there or not [06:05] abhi_nav, I did [06:05] I assume I'd have to use --prefix when building from source [06:05] cannot open display: [06:05] There isn't one [06:05] when i enter that command [06:05] Try automakers. [06:06] Err [06:06] GodfatherofEire read the file called "Readme.txt" and follow the instruction [06:06] automake [06:06] Obeyence: so lets start from the beginning.. You LOGIN via GDM to get to the gnome Desktop. You open a terminal. You Shouldbe able to run 'gnome-terminal' and otehr apps and $DISPLAY should be set properly [06:06] abhi_nav, I know, thats what I was doing === jacob_ is now known as Guest77801 === Guest77801 is now known as Dougdoug4 [06:06] GodfatherofEire then?

[06:07] Dr_Willis, & downix the trick to fix screen resolution w/o using liveCD or anything was to simply to use buttons on monitor to "auto adjust" [06:07] AndChat-: wouldnt that basically just spit out the same makefile as what I already have? [06:08] GodfatherofEire: See http://www.airs.com/ian/configure/ [06:08] roscogruen, not every monitor offers that [06:08] ok logged back in [06:08] Maybe autoconf too. Then ./configure. [06:09] ok it worked now [06:09] Autoconf creates ./configure which creates the Makefile. [06:09] I already have a Makefile in the folder === roscogruen is now known as jellybelly [06:10] What happens when you type make? [06:10] Says to run ./configure first, although if thats what generates the Makefile, why would they include it? [06:11] Maybe because they accidentally shipped it with a Makefile. [06:11] Might be [06:11] GodfatherofEire: configure also generates header files and such. I assume that's what the Makefile checks for... [06:12] Try make. Can't hurt anything.

If you can't figure them out, ask me... [06:32] timc: I did it is not running .... I am trying install jaunty here ... I have dlded wubi 9.04 [06:33] Andorin: any idea if you have kernel headers installed? [06:33] I'm having trouble getting sound playback to switch from my onboard audio to my USB headset. The other day I had trouble getting my webcam mic to work too. Seems like the sound system is buggy or something is wrong. The test sounds work fine out of the headset when I switch it to play through it. Totem and VLC wont play movie audio through them though. Any logic in this? I even tried removing pulseaudio and still didnt help. [06:33] Andorin: try apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` exactly like that [06:33] Im on 9.04 [06:34] Losha, i can see it does explane about them. i understand that part. its just the commands underneth that put me of. nothing clarly says email, etc [06:34] It plays through onboard audio no matter what I select with System->Prefs->Sound. [06:34] phrost: Yes, we have the headers. [06:35] timc: I see it coming and crashing again .. I am using windows 7 [06:35] odd, the asm/semaphore.h its looking for should be part of kernel headers [06:35] timc: When I siad coming up I meant it was listed in the task manger process list and then disappears [06:35] meowbuntu: output_email clearly wants an email address to send mail to (does outgoing mail work on your system?). mail_utility mailx can be left as-is, just make sure mailx is installed (sudo apt-get install mailx) [06:35] I'm trying to change the login screen. I open System >> Administration >> Login Screen and there is nothing there that lets me install a theme [06:36] phrost: still same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/394967/ [06:36] just options to auto login [06:36] Losha, if it just says from email address, to email address, pop infomation etc then i would know [06:36] losha i use gmail webmail [06:37] phrost: Perhaps the driver is incompatible with 2.6.31? According to the webcam compatibility page on the Ubuntu wiki, the entry for her cam (and the link to the driver) was provided for Gutsy. That's quite a while ago. [06:37] Is pulseaudio supposed to stream audio to all connected audio devices all at once or not? [06:37] keepguessing: tried running it in Compatibility mode (XP or vista)? [06:37] Andorin: that'd be my guess, your path said 2007 which is 3 years behind the OS [06:38] meowbuntu: first, you need to be able to send outgoing emails from your system. I recommend installing ssmtp and using http://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP to configure it. Once that's working, you can just use your email address in the sarg.conf file... [06:38] Losha, i understand i can get sarg to send a report through pop but nothing in there mentions that. [06:38] phrost: This would be a problem, then, unless there is another way to get her cam working. [06:39] lordganehs: is your /boot on another partition? did you mount it inside the chroot too? [06:39] no [06:39] timc: tried both does not work :( [06:39] Andorin: why did you do sudo make? [06:39] ChogyDan: Don't you have to? [06:40] meowbuntu: actually, it works like this: sarg -> mailx -> ssmtp -> gmail. So setup ssmtp first, per the above, ok? [06:40] Losha, sarg does not need ssmtp. it works by itself. when i used thunderbird it could send email easily. [06:40] Andorin: no, it is just make. Have you tried gstreamer-properties? [06:40] ok, the problem is that I do not have Login Window, I have Login Screen [06:40] phrost: i have boot in same partition , i tried this previously and it worked well [06:40] how can I get Login Window (one lets you change the behavior and one lets you do behavior + appearance) [06:41] lordganehs: does it say anything in dmesg? [06:41] i never saw that in the info about sarg. sarg sends reports generated by squid. [06:41] meowbuntu: thunderbird is a mail client, sarg is not. That's why it needs mailx/ssmtp. Feel free to ask for a 2nd opinion on this. I won't be offended... [06:41] lordganehs: mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys [06:41] Please could someone explain why totem and vlc are not picking up on gnome-sound-properties changes for playback devices? The test sounds are going to the correctly selected audio device but the players are not. [06:41] lol good call,i forgot about sysfs [06:42] I need some help with getting the cisco vpn to work... [06:43] Okay, everyone who was just helping me: Turns out we were trying to install the wrong driver, as she has a different camera than we thought. This one is supposed to work out of the box, and she's going to reboot her computer (she updated it earlier without rebooting). === jellybelly is now known as alienRupp [06:43] Andorin: lol have fun [06:43] hi [06:44] phrost: It struck me that it can't be a missing driver since she said it SORT OF worked in cheese, so I had her lsusb to see the exact model of the camera [06:44] And it turns out we had it wrong xD [06:44] enzotib: phrost: still same error [06:44] the network-manager-vpnc app says authentication failed and the command line says login unsuccessful [06:44] Does somebody have exp with sony PS3? [06:45] Andorin: yeah, if it works in cheese at all, then you have the driver [06:45] Dumb stuff like this just brings me closer to going and buying Windows. [06:45] Hi, I've got a HP OfficeJet V40 connected to one of my Ubuntu machines that is acting as a print server... its an HP so its detected and all that, and Windows machines connecting to it by Samba (which means Windows uses its own drivers to print to it...) can print fine, but Linux machines (including the machine itself) can't print to it and the only sort of printing that it will accept from a Linux machine is the "Self-Test Print Page". Anyone have any id [06:45] eas? [06:46] I've got a Epson Stylus COLOR 740 connected to the same machine and any and all machines can print to it [06:46] LinuxGuy2009: what version are you running? === alienRupp is now known as jeffalien [06:46] can I install apache on ubuntu? [06:47] !lamp | atif [06:47] atif: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [06:47] Losha, http://www.kartook.com/2009/10/configure-sarg-for-squid-logs/ === jeffalien is now known as jeffRupp [06:48] sigh [06:48] fail again. [06:48] er.. sorry wrong channel [06:49] meowbuntu: sorry, I don't see anywhere where that says sarg can use pop to send emails. Did I miss it? [06:49] cheese doesn't have good settings [06:50] Losha, http://sarg.sourceforge.net/ [06:50] i have copied the contents of my unbuntu installation dvd onto a windows drive. i can make the windows boot from tat drive ... I wish to know what file should i set the path to boot from there [06:50] I hate to break protocall, but no one knows what happened to Login Window? Was it replaced with Login Screen and then Splash Screen? [06:51] Does RhythmBox support syncing (to an ipod)? I seem to remember it used to, but I can't find that functionality anymore. [06:51] MrD__: xsplash -> gdm login -> xsplash -> users actual desktop (i think) [06:51] My Atheros card detects networks but can't connect to them any clue why not? Running ubuntu 9.10 [06:51] Losha, oi suppose you are right on that [06:51] meowbuntu: Sigh. Nor there either.... [06:51] what is a stack? a package? [06:52] yharrow: what happens? [06:52] I cant find xsplash either [06:52] it pretends its connecting then drops the connection [06:52] atif: a stack is all of the applications that a given application uses. [06:52] Losha, i understand. it just says set up the config adn its done. but how do i ??? [06:52] what do you mean Find? its installed by default [06:52] @ ChogyDan [06:52] atif: it is just the collection of applications [06:52] where? [06:52] thanks guys [06:52] atif: for instance, the "LAMP stack" is Linux + Apache + MySql + PHP, which all together can host a web page [06:53] !info xsplash [06:53] yharrow: try dmesg Does it work in windows? [06:53] works fine in windows [06:53] yshavit, that's awesome.. [06:53] xsplash (source: xsplash): X based bootsplash. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.5-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 16 kB, installed size 96 kB [06:53] meowbuntu: Yawn. You do what I said 20 minutes ago. Start by installing and configuring ssmtp to send mail to gmail .... [06:53] so would i have to configure each of them... [06:53] it doesnt find it in the software center [06:53] Has anyone played stalker CoP? === rishi is now known as Guest90532 [06:53] Losha, can i pm you [06:54] Losha, ok did you find that on net [06:54] i am looking for a new name for a linux distro I have created based on karmic [06:54] yharrow: what does dmesg say? [06:54] Okay, so even after a reboot, it's not working. I'm pressing her for details as to what happens when she starts it. Barring that, does anyone know of a good way to capture an error? Should I have her run cheese in CLI and watch for errors? [06:54] atif: yeah, a stack generally isn't packaged together [06:54] i want to promote it in the small towns of India [06:54] its coming on 10 hours of staring at the screen with nothing working right for me... [06:54] Andorin: gstreamer-properties [06:55] and all i want to do is play this damn game. === jeffRupp is now known as rosco [06:55] ChogyDan: Okay. What am I going to have her change? [06:55] meowbuntu: please *don't* pm me. It's better if other people can see what's going on... [06:55] Andorin: are you with her? [06:55] yshavit, alright, i am basically installing it just to experience.. i have never configured a web server.. let's see how i go [06:55] does anyone have any ideas for a nice name? [06:55] hey guys, i've just compiled Xubuntu 9.10 for my BeagleBoard (arm-based), but the only user displayed is "Ubuntu System User". I've searched around, but I'm not sure how to add another user, or login as root from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! [06:55] ChogyDan: No, this is over IM. [06:55] Losha, ok [06:55] Andorin: just try to get it working, it should make sense [06:55] it has these [06:55] # TAG: resolve_ip yes/no [06:55] # Convert ip address to dns name [06:55] # sarg -n [06:55] resolve_ip [06:55] # TAG: user_ip yes/no [06:56] # Use Ip Address instead userid in reports. [06:56] # sarg -p [06:56] user_ip no [06:56] what do i put [06:56] atif: good luck :) LAMP isn't too hard to get working in a basic way, though getting it running securely is trickier -- I've never done that. [06:56] meowbuntu: Please use pastebin in the future. [06:56] seems to work now for some reason o.o thanks anywho [06:56] I'm trying to install this: http://cppforlife.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-GDM-theme-I-am-sexy-94448284 [06:56] ok [06:56] @ ChogyDan [06:56] Can anybody comment if the next kernel will fix the issues with the e1000e module for Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 ? [06:56] meowbuntu: for more than a couple of lines of text, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [06:56] yharrow: ok! :) [06:56] yshavit, i just wanna try my blog on it.. if it run's well... [06:57] I just looked up xsplash, looks like it's supposed to be installed but software finder doesnt find it....neither to download nor as installed [06:57] Or the next release of Ubuntu that is ? [06:57] meowbuntu: Those are directives that say what appears in the reports. Nothing to do with sending them via email... [06:57] ChogyDan, dunno if this helps but last time my keyring was empty. this time i entered a password to the keyring [06:57] all im seeing are fixes for windows... [06:57] atif: hm, good luck... personally I'd be scared of doing that, since opening Apache connection to the world requires, I think, some knowledge of security settings and all that. [06:57] Anyone able to assist me? [06:57] But don't take my word on it. [06:57] yharrow: hmm, yeah, that;s weird [06:58] Obeyence: whats the problem? [06:58] Wine [06:58] i guess [06:58] losha there is another application that works beter called netresponsability. [06:58] or user error [06:58] ive been trying to play this game (stalker cop) for days. [06:58] Losha, but that uses ruby and hogs 75-100% of my cpu [06:58] Windows wouldnt let me do it because the parental control settings are not changable on my install.... [06:59] Obeyence: you may have to talk to the wine folks [06:59] ChogyDan: She says that when she clicks Test to test her video output, without changing settings, the cam works fine in that little window that pops up. But it doesn't work in Cheese. I guess the cam itself is fine? [06:59] Andorin: yep [06:59] parental controlls ? :) heh [06:59] meowbuntu: that's up to you. You could have had sarg reports via email up and working by now.... [06:59] so i installed ubuntu and now after about 10 hours i have gotten to the damn splash screen and nwo i get a fsgame.ltx error [07:00] all the fixes i find are for windows... [07:00] Obeyence: thers never any guarentees that5 any windows game will work in wine. [07:00] yeah but this one does. [07:00] Andorin: have her try changing some settings in cheese, or maybe use a different app === homer is now known as Guest16979 [07:00] ChogyDan: Yep, that's exactly what we're trying now... thank you very much :) [07:00] ok i just want proofe [07:00] sigh [07:01] i am installing ssmtp Losha can you help me set that up then [07:01] Obeyence: You may of been netter off figureing out why your parentaral controll got you locked out.

[07:02] Andorin: kk [07:02] I typed that out manualy... Please view it and scroll down to thwere it says HOWTO install game [07:02] meowbuntu: look at http://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP, in particular, the bit called "Using sSMTP with Gmail"... [07:02] skip down to part 6 [07:02] Thats the "fix" to the problem [07:03] but unfortunatly for me... it does the same thing trying to run the gdame does. [07:03] well... from console neway [07:03] Does anyone know how to use grub 2 to load a file (Mbr)? [07:03] gives me some errors about my headset not being something... and those X server $display errors. [07:03] Obeyence: do you have the wine ppa added? [07:03] I can load notepad.exe just fine. [07:03] ppa? [07:04] !ppa | obeyence [07:04] obeyence: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [07:04] thanks Losha i will come back when i got ssmtp set up [07:04] meowbuntu: it's late here, I may have gone to bed. I'll be back online tomorrow, or someone else can help, ok? [07:04] Obeyence: seek and ye shall fine. The version on the official repo could be dated, you could try wine1.2 as well using the wine ppa [07:04] Obeyence: thers updated versions of wine that often fix some issues.. and theres the winetricks tool that an install some needed packates that Might fix other issues [07:04] can you pm on here? [07:05] thanks Losha have a good sleep [07:05] pm me and let me know how [07:05] please [07:05] meowbuntu: good luck... [07:05] Obeyence: might give different results. [07:05] wonderful...

[07:09] ishg [07:09] sigh [07:10] Andorin: Skype? [07:10] Obeyence: you could try wine1.2 as well, also see if the game devs made a linux installer too [07:10] !best | andorin [07:10] whatng to fix problem are you try [07:10] andorin: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:10] sigh [07:10] what problem are you trying to fix [07:10] Is it possible to run windows programs on Ubuntu without being virus infected? I have run windows applications using Wine and had same virus infections as it had when run on a standalone Xp system. Any way out? [07:10] ? [07:10] Obeyence: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:10] i really wish someone coudl PM me and talk to me like that [07:11] Researcher1: the wine config could get infected but its easily fixable [07:11] Im on a 15" laptop and the keyboard sucks and... this window is ultra small [07:11] Obeyence: I have given you 3 avenues of research. [07:11] how can wine infections be fixed? using Clamav? [07:11] has anyone here gotten Banshee working with an iPod Touch? I know it's not officially supported -- but as I've managed to get Rhytmbox and Nautilus to recognize my Touch, I feel like Banshee support is maybe possible too. [07:11] so the chat is scrolling by ... and i cant read very well due to eye problems and dislexia... and being tired from being up since 6am [07:12] Researcher1: simply replace the file if its system based or you can scan it with whatever you like [07:12] Obeyence: scroll back up then [07:13] Obeyence: I do 12 hour shifts of work too. So I know about tired [07:13] k i dont like you. You dont have a since of humor and you are inconsiderate to the needs of others. [07:13] why dony you tell me to just fucking google the problem? You might as well... [07:13] !attitude | Obeyence [07:13] Obeyence: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [07:14] Obeyence: wine app forums say use wine 1.1.37 for that game [07:14] Obeyence: no I'm keeping the channel xenophobia free. Its part of the !attitude factoid. I can call an op if you'd like [07:14] I just dont want you talking to me anymore. Thanks. [07:14] Obeyence: happy struggling [07:15] You have helped me 0% anyway. [07:15] Obeyence: 1. Use wine ppa [07:15] Obeyence; 2. Try wine 1.2 [07:15] And as i have asked like 5 times... What is that going to help solve? [07:15] Obeyence: 3. Look for linux native installer [07:15] Obeyence: try those 3 things [07:16] Do you even know what im trying to fix any more? [07:16] hey peeps is there a bug in karamic with staitc ips and dns ? [07:16] Obeyence: the later wine versions may help the game run [07:16] i don't know why but i can't install gyachi [07:16] i installed the software sources and authentication key, but its still not in the repos [07:16] yes, the errors that people get are after they load into the game. They are able to play for a few min then crash. [07:16] bbelt16ag: we'd need to know more about your symptoms before we could answer that. [07:16] Obeyence: if the game devs made a linux installer you don't need wine as the game will run native like frets on fire or tux racing [07:16] 10 hours of google/forum re.search has taught me th [07:17] http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=40285&sid=358e192a75c3b8b076aeb496c5a90dac [07:17] Mind you, i didnt come in here first thing when i had a problem [07:17] mentions whats needed to run the game [07:17] i don't know why but i can't install gyachi [07:17] i installed the software sources and authentication key, but its still not in the repos [07:17] hi, where i can consult about developing snmp application using snmpkit headers from libsnmp-dev?

[07:18] Obeyence: snoopcat on that thread - gives steps he did.. he also says to use wine 1.1.37 [07:18] Thats th epoint in which the game stops working... its at the splash screen.. not in the game. [07:18] Obeyence: have you asked in #winehq [07:18] oh now with the +1 police lol [07:18] robert__: 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 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [07:18] yeah. i have tried all that, cept the wine regression. I dont knwo how to do that. [07:18] But still [07:18] the game doesnt even run. [07:18] Robert__: its channel policy. The repo may not support lucid [07:19] i hate tyoign on tiny keyboards with a touch pad [07:19] my palm hits it and makes me fk up [07:19] Obeyence: try a different win version in winecfg === matthew is now known as Guest41692 [07:19] well,9.10 doesn't work with my wireless and 9.04 is way bass ackwards lol [07:19] bbelt16ag: by "network tool," you mean the default network-manager applet available in the taskbar? i haven't had any trouble with static IPs and DNS using network-manager [07:19] alguien habla espanol?

[07:20] yeah true [07:21] Obeyence: the wine forums say you MUST use a soecific version of wine. [07:21] Currently, i can run notepad and installs and thigns of tha tnatures. [07:21] bbelt16ag: that's the same program. so you edit the wired connection, set it to static IP and add an address and DNS servers, and it remembers the IP after reboot but not the DNS server? [07:21] Obeyence: for that game t5o work [07:21] Obeyence: have you seen this: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [07:21] For that game "not to crash" [07:22] it randomly crashes if you use .38 [07:22] im trying to get INTO the game [07:22] i dont care if it crashes [07:22] Obeyence: snoopcat on that thread - gives steps he did.. he also says to use wine 1.1.37 [07:22] then i can just regress [07:22] i know [07:22] Obeyence: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:51] I expect an OS on which I have time to do what I wish to do with a computer [08:51] Not fix the problems left to me by the OS [08:52] Obeyence, better yet, you need to run it through the terminal.. bash foo.sh [08:52] Dougdoug4, good luck finding that OS! [08:52] replace foo with the the filename [08:52] What do i save this as? [08:52] I found that OS Obeyence, WINDOWS [08:52] In the VPS rules i cannot exceed 8 load for more than 15 mins. So with my current VPS it is exceeding. And If i upgrade my VPS to this one: 2672.808 MHz (4 Cores), 4GB ram will it helped? [08:52] save the filename as it is [08:52] I'd rather pay money than have a free OS [08:52] Winblows? [08:53] As long as it means I can get things done [08:53] Im running away from windows...

[08:53] Dougdoug4, try Windows. Maybe that'll solve your issues. [08:54] airtonix, With the VPS I have now the avarage load when encoding movies is around 8-9 so if i upgrade the CPU to 2672.808 MHz (4 Cores), will that be enough ? [08:54] thianpa, is that a ubuntu question or a hardware question ? [08:54] what am i to save this ass? [08:54] This script... [08:54] as [08:54] More like a hardware but i'm using Ubuntu :) [08:54] just save the filename as it is [08:54] * airtonix plants face on desk [08:54] Obeyence: its filename is install-wine-deps.sh so I would stick with that :) [08:55] thianpa, show me how its relevant to ubuntu [08:55] thianpa: I guess the load will always be high when encoding movies, since that is a very cpu-intense operation. Are you satisfied with the speed of the encoding? If yes, leave it as is. [08:55] i dont understand [08:55] its a link [08:55] i click on it it brings up text [08:55] What am i to do? [08:55] Obeyence, enter key much ? [08:55] Obeyence, its called File, Save As... [08:55] !enter | Obeyence [08:55] Obeyence: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:55] clrg : It is fast but they wont allow it, as the load is >8, I have to keep it <8 [08:56] Im not trying to be difficult... [08:56] So what i am asking is? if i upgrade the CPU to 2672.808 MHz (4 Cores), will that be enough ? [08:56] thianpa, tried ##hardware instead? [08:56] But... Save as... [08:56] My current CPU is 2004.604 MHz (4 Cores), 2 GB [08:56] thianpa: Does your encoder support throttling? For example, try to tell the encoder only to use 2 cores instead of all 4. [08:56] There is no save as. Its web page. [08:56] 4 cores with 2gb, doesn't feel right somehow [08:57] I bet i could bring up a source [08:57] that means 500mb per core [08:57] Did you even click on the link i gave in here? [08:57] thianpa: Not enough RAM, I guess. Try at least 4 GB. [08:57] try 8gb [08:57] 2gb per core, like a normal single core setup [08:57] so if i use 4GB RAM you think the load will be < 8 [08:57] =\ [08:57] im still loast here [08:57] Obeyence: yes, and I can go to the File menu and click "Save Page As..." and save it. [08:57] Obeyence, if you use save page, it will show you a dialog and in it specifies the exact filename from the source [08:58] save page as isnt save as [08:58] ... [08:58] and you're using which browser? [08:58] morrowyn : i do hope i can afford that but 4gb is as much as i can go. And if that still dont help i guess i just have to find an alternative [08:58] You guys are a bit assuming... [08:58] thianpa: No. Please listen carefully, I will only repeat this once. Your load will *always* be high. It does not depend on your CPU. Encoding movies is a *very* cpu-intense operation. If you use a faster processor, the encoding will be faster; but the load will still be very high. [08:59] is there an MS paint variation for ubuntu? [08:59] Obeyence, I'm asking you a question [08:59] or...is there MS paint for ubuntu? [08:59] gimp [08:59] thianpa, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-and-unix-load-average.html | http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages [08:59] how to make StarDict pronounce the word? [08:59] morrowyn, gimp hardly qualifies as ms-paint [09:00] clrg : thanks for clearing that up. So even if i use 4 GB and upgrade the CPU the load will still be >8 ? [09:00] I want to rotate an image in openoffice.org writer, how? [09:00] !info mtpaint | dolp [09:00] thanks airtonix [09:00] yes yes. But someone said save as when i was asking about how to save it.

[09:00] OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG [09:00] Obeyence, there's no Save As.. and you haven't answered my question [09:01] You guys assume people are at least knowledgeable in the system functions and differences.

Life's not fair... :( [10:29] i repeat my question, so more would likely see it: are there any good video cards that work well in Ubuntu? (with decent/good 3d performance) [10:30] Is it a good idea to remove gnome fully and then replace it with another WM [10:30] zxc: most nvidia cards,, perhaps stay away from any that have came out in the last 2-3 months [10:30] zxc: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html [10:30] Scarra3: you can easially keep gnome and install a different wm [10:30] zxc, if you have any nvidia card you can use their binary driver and it will give almost the same performance you will get in any other OS [10:30] zxc, intel is usually good [10:30] zxc, usually ati isn't the way to go [10:31] hi, are there any apt sources for the 2.6.32 for karmic? [10:31] Dr_Willis: Fixed, I removed apache2 and now starts without errors, I don't know why crashed when it was installed, but if now works fine, is enought :) [10:31] adante, you want to install the latest kernel? [10:32] om26er: i want to install 2.6.32, i don't know if that is latest [10:32] adalal, 2.6.33 would be latest [10:33] adante, you can find .deb packages for every kernel here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ try at your own risk ;) [10:33] Is it a good idea to remove gnome fully and then replace it with another WM [10:33] Scarra3: No. proberly not. [10:33] stuart_: why not? [10:33] stuart_: sorry [10:33] Scarra3: and gnome is a 'destop' not a 'wm' [10:33] om26er: thanks - if i install these, they don't 'overwite' my existing kernels do they? like, if it doesn't work, am i right in thinking it shouldn't be hard for me to revert to my existing kernel [10:34] Scarra3, you would still need a file manager [10:34] Scarra3: and you can easially install 'icewm' or other WM's and select them from the GDM menus [10:34] Well I wanted to install Awesome Window Manager [10:34] adante, na you existing kernel willbe fine [10:34] Scarra3: so install it then...

[11:08] It' X [11:08] but it gets only 3.4% [11:09] so how much memory does htop say is used? [11:09] 742/2008 [11:09] moreover, alsaconf does not exist anymore in 9.10 :| [11:09] How can I remove the title bar from windows? A lot of things in google but none gives a solution. Help pls!! [11:10] bombel: what aare you tryng to do exactly? [11:10] pask: so, does this go up over time? [11:10] pask: you ssaid you had a momory leak? [11:10] hi guys [11:10] so i have this weird behaviour where when i try to open a video, my x server restarts [11:11] as in, i'm in an x session, logged in, and i open a video, movie player window comes up, then whole screen goes blank, and then the ubuntu splash comes up as if booting, and then the login screen [11:11] yes, by time to time, normally as I start the computer I get only 26% of used memory, but it grows over time, after two days non-stop the sistem totally trashed [11:11] Dr_Willis, I want to remove the title bar for any window. The bar that stands on the top with the 3 buttons (minimize, maximize, close) and the title [11:12] ( I said memory leak, but I'm not actually sure it means what I think, I'm not english native) [11:12] bombel: dare we ask why? COmpiz has a feature to do that. if you really wanted to. [11:12] Can I do it without using Compiz ? [11:12] Dr_Willis: this user has the same problem as me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1409554 [11:12] Dr_Willis -^ [11:12] bombel: no idea. never tried. [11:13] can anyone tell me why my XP is not booting after restoring GRUB2 ???? [11:14] I'm becoming desperate [11:14] memory usage is now 743/2008 [11:14] pask: and you said that cache was not responsible for the usage? [11:15] gnome file open save dialog is slow when browsing /usr/lib etc help please, this is 9.10 and there's no tracker [11:15] bombel: why is this even impoirntant? [11:15] * om26er thinks its called gtkfilechooser [11:16] meganerd: I see cache usage separately, now sistem is using 36% for programs and 44% as cache [11:16] firefox keeps giving me an error that google gears isn't the right build, but I installed it from the repos. What's the deal? [11:16] madura, cuz that folder contains tons of files [11:16] Dr_Willis, this title bar takes useful space [11:16] Aha! Finally got it! What I need to do (with noapic) is to constantly ping something so that the wireless "stays alive"... it's odd but it works! So I created a startup command that just constantly pings my home router. [11:16] Dr_Willis, It's not useful for me anymore [11:17] I can live without it [11:17] om26er: nautilus doent do that but the file open save does and sometimes it does that for small number of files too [11:17] meganerd: also, there is a tiny slice used as buffer, probably is there from last time I used Amule [11:17] om26er: HDD isn't busy on that time the processor hits 100% [11:17] bombel: its a window manager feature/thing. Compiz can do it - I imagone others can aswell.. but not gnomes default metacityu [11:17] madura, I just opened that folder and nautilus did not respond for 10secs [11:17] kkkkkkkkk [11:18] hello [11:18] !hi | jose [11:18] jose: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [11:18] d6chung: using noapic is not the best solution. Try to avoid it if you can. [11:18] om26er: thats just the start, this happens when scrolling [11:18] Dr_Willis, does Compiz require graphics acceleration? [11:18] bombel: for the most part. yes [11:19] i'm spanish [11:19] :S [11:19] jose, but you seem to be writing english ;) [11:21] meganerd: Yeah, well, that's a current workaround for me. [11:21] jose, #ubuntu-es is spanish channel [11:21] pask: I need to get some sleep now so I am outta here. You may want to install atop, and then check with it peridically. It actually runs in the backround and so can track these things. Use the "m" key to get memory info. "h" brings up the help screen. [11:22] Anybody knows if there exists a Ubuntu kernel package with CONFIG_M586TSC=y (likely pae package)? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-February/008727.html === kenshin_ is now known as Abu [11:22] d6chung: that sucks. My last laptop I needed to do something like that. Kernel updates solve the issue for me. Out of curiosity what kind of PC is this (laptop/desktop, CPU type, chipset if known) [11:23] meganerd: ok, thank you for help anyway [11:23] Dr_Willis, Is it possible that some configuration file saves information about the size of the title bar? I realized that increasing the font size from the title bar makes the title bar grow, but the oposite is not true. I even removed all of the buttons and decreased the font size, but the title bar doesnt shrink... (I tried this with gconf-editor) [11:23] dyek, sudo apt-get install linux-image-pae [11:23] any help on the file dialog thing? [11:23] bombel: some window managers have per-window/app title bar options. I do not think the default gnome window manager can do this. [11:24] dyek, that would be linux-image-2.6.31.xxxx-pae [11:24] om26er: I checked that 2.6.31-20-generic-pae doesn't have CONFIG_M586TSC=y. Hence, the question. [11:24] om26er: Any idea where I can get that? [11:24] dyek, in terminal [11:24] dyek, why you want to install pae kernel? [11:25] om26er: No...2.6.31-20-generic-pae doesn't have CONFIG_M586TSC=y. [11:25] meganerd: Gateway ML3109. I looked around and apparently people are having problems with it even in Windows Vista, which it shipped with. [11:25] where can i get the latest builds of gnome? [11:26] om26er: Ubuntu kernels are no longer boot-able as Xen DomU. It is discussed in the thread. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-February/008727.html [11:26] d6chung: something that old should be well supported by now. What version of Ubuntu are you using?> [11:26] meganerd: 9.10. [11:26] d6chung: weird [11:26] Dr_Willis: i will try to find a command line to undo the quarantine now. thanks for the tip [11:27] dyek: from reading that link it looks like lucid will have that change, and it also looks like karmic will have it as well. [11:28] meganerd: Yes, but I can't find it in the latest packages that appears to be built on Feb. 8th, 2010. [11:28] dyek: from checking my karmic and lucid installs, it does not appear that the changes have been applied yet [11:30] hello [11:31] dyek: that link suggests that it will appear in the SRU. Your best bet is to build your own kernel [11:31] meganerd: Yup. I hoped that there is unstable repository that might have the package, but I suppose not... It is very time consuming to build a working custom kernel... [11:32] help with cairo dock cant close menu [11:32] Dr_Willis, can u help me? [11:32] dyek: there is probably a PPA for it [11:32] aman: with what? [11:32] Dr_Willis, i have installed grub2 after installing XP but XP not booting now.. [11:33] Dr_Willis, so any solutions to that? [11:33] having issues with gqview and geeqie to see CIFS shares...see a bug for it posted.. but confused. it said something about repackaging the build... not no clue on how to do that... [11:33] depends on what xp is doping [11:33] dyek: It might be time consuming when you are learning, but a change like this takes less than a minute to do, and less than an hour to build. [11:33] meganerd: Are you able to locate one? It would be great if there is a prebuilt package with CONFIG_M586TSC=y. [11:33] Dr_Willis, sorry didnt get u [11:34] aman: xp 'dont work' tells me very little.. what IS it doing? error? just hangs/ what exactly? [11:34] meganerd: I actually built it, but not the initrd. I have to rebuild it following Ubuntu's instruction. [11:34] dyek: I would just search launchpad for the kernel team [11:34] Dr_Willis, by the way, how do I do it with Compiz? - remove the title bar [11:35] dyek: make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version= kernel-image kernel-headers [11:35] hey.. i have a radeon hd4570 and noticed my card runs 100% load, extremely hot and fan runs on max. then i noticed ubuntu is using vesa drivers!! why? [11:35] bombel: in the CCSM tools it has a settings for that stuff on a per window/program basis [11:35] !ccsm [11:35] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [11:35] Dr_Willis, it was an error something like "Device Not Found: f12jd-rewtr"....dont remeber exactly but something like this only.... [11:35] xsacha: try getting the radeonhd drivers, they should be in synaptic [11:35] time for sleep, 'night all [11:35] Dr_Willis, if you want then shall i reboot to check that? [11:36] aman: proberly better to ask in #windows [11:36] Dr_Willis, alright, gonna check that [11:36] meganerd, they are but for some reason they are not installed by default. any ideas why? [11:36] aman: since it seems xp is ghetting booted by grub but has issues [11:36] i mean is there a reason for it? do they not work? [11:36] meganerd: Thanks! I'll try if my build is still workable. [11:37] Dr_Willis, then any suggestions? [11:37] Hi, I want to make bootable USB how to make that? [11:37] !usb | Mkools [11:37] Mkools: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:37] how do I list the users in a channel?

[11:43] bye bye [11:43] Dr_Willis: I am working on chromium-os, and it has a script that did it. [11:44] hmm offtopic? [11:44] still memory leak problem here, and it isn't used as cache, but actually by programs, according to "free" cmd, but no way they can take all the used memory, also, it grows over time. any solutions? [11:44] hatake_kakashi: why ? [11:45] overmind, chromium-os != ubuntu [11:45] pask, not sure but atop may help if you can get used to the interface [11:45] overmind: can you help? [11:47] hi, can someone tell me the exact kernel used in 10.04 alpha? [11:47] Mkools: Can't you boot from a disk? I think is better option [11:47] hatake_kakashi: atop tells me what program uses the memory, doesn't make the system free it when programs are closed.... am I correct? [11:47] 2.6.32-16 adante [11:47] will kopete work ok in gnome? [11:47] with a Pentium SU2700 and intel 4500, should I go for xubuntu - or would it be decent with kde or gnome? [11:47] robert__: Yes [11:47] overmind, thanks [11:48] overmind : it if install it on disk, their is a problem it will nuke it. [11:48] i have just installed the banshee media player. the first time i used the program it worked fine. now when i try to start it up, it crashed before it opens. i have tried unitstalling and re-installing with no better results [11:48] Dr_Willis: hm thanks - so am i right in thinking the lack of a -16 in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ means i can't install this easily for karmic [11:48] pask, no it won't but usually the kernel should handle it at least if a program is no longer used, its pointers are removed and possible therefore be overwritten. Whether or not are those accounted for using free/etc is what I am not sure [11:48] what can i do in the terminal to check what errors it has? [11:48] adante: no idea - i rarely mess with the kerne [11:50] Brodz987, tried removing the banshee settings in your home folder? [11:50] Dr_Willis: Can you help? [11:51] Mkools: if you made the image properl;y.. and put it on the flash properly.. and the pc is set to boot from USB - it should work [11:52] Mkools: you could test it in virtualbox first [11:52] hatake_kakashi: fact is that when system is freshly started and I use no program, only 20-26% of memory is used, after about a day on runtime, if I close all programs the value is about 30%. So somewhere about 5% of 2GB have been lost! Once the system totally went trashing because of this fact [11:52] Dr_Willis: On ubuntu how to get a virtual box? [11:52] !vbox [11:52] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [11:52] yo, is OPNET available for Linux? [11:52] whats OPnet? [11:53] airtonix: yeah. i have tried running "banshee" from the terminal but the terminal is just sitting idle [11:53] pask, well I don't know, I'm not an expert on kernel, for those issues maybe you should direct them to ##linux or something like that [11:53] hatake_kakashi: ok, thank you!

[12:14] yes what [12:14] given the vague question.. i figured id give a vague answer. [12:14] oxsav, yes and I don't know how to specifically solve it either.. I'd try other livecd/livedvd distros and see if its a driver/HAL/etc issue or specifically a hardware issue.. I don't have this sort of problem with my old laptop [12:15] Dr_willis, the question is quite specific [12:15] hmmm [12:15] :x [12:15] if you don't have anything nice to say keep your fucking mouth shut bitch or i wil fuck u up the ass [12:15] and anyone here can help me?

[12:16] well actually his issue is that he wants the system to switch between speakers and headphones [12:17] yea - i see that asked about once a week in here. I was thinking someone had used jackd for proper port senceing. [12:17] I personally never had that issue, on my old laptop, it was done via hardware level or so I figured [12:18] Dr_Willis, is jackd usable in Ubuntu ? with skype, vlc, flash I mean [12:18] I think thats the proper term used 'port senceing' [12:18] and yes jack was suggested before [12:18] SandGorgon: not sure - ive never had the issue [12:18] some programs needs to be configured to use jack output/input driver or it won't work [12:18] with many sound cards these days. a headphone Out. COULD also be a mic in, or subwoofer out.. its supposed to somehow detect what it is. (or ask?) and confiogure it properly [12:19] ola [12:19] It gets confuseing - because they use same ports for differnt tasks. to save $$ i guess. [12:19] brbr [12:19] brb [12:20] where can i get the theme from 4.10? [12:21] robert__: you mean 10.04 ? ive seen it at variouys ubuntu blog/news site. [12:22] Dr_Willis, i mean 4.10 warty warthog [12:22] robert__: omgubuntu, and/or that webup8 one. [12:22] robert__: thats scary :) check gnome art i guess [12:22] huh? where do i get those 2? [12:22] robert__: i saw a site going todo a 'history of ubuntu themes' artical. perhaps they will have those all [12:22] those were web sites.. I got them in my NewsFeeds [12:23] www.webup8.org [12:25] Hi, is this a good place to ask about iptables and ip forwarding? [12:27] Hi .... does anybody know how can I manage my devices from the terminal like the Palimpset utility(GUI)?? [12:27] hi! guys can you tell me how to access network computers? those PC`s are on Windows OS and few minutes ago i was able but now i could not access them [12:29] norbi: i tend to bookmark them once i access them the first time.. seem to help them get rembered [12:29] norbi: or i enter the full proper path to the shrares on teh windows box. [12:29] Dr_Willis: but it does not works even with the share path [12:30] norbi: try with the ip# instead of the machine name. Ive had issues with that also [12:30] norbi: and check what 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' also scan and detect [12:32] Dr_Willis: how can i do that? 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' ? [12:32] hi all, could someone please tell me what the package name for the "About Me" thing in Gnome is? [12:32] Hi .... does anybody know how can I manage my devices from the terminal like the Palimpset utility(GUI)?? [12:32] smbtree gives me back the computers [12:33] but cannot access them via network [12:33] norbi: thats points to the gnome file manager part having issues again.., its alwyas flakey for me [12:33] you could try to mount them via hand [12:34] #ubuntu-it-chat [12:34] Dr_Willis: then what do i have to do/ [12:34] ? [12:35] norbi: you can mount a windows share with 'sudo mount ' to a location then access them that way [12:35] I think you may need to install a package or2 for it to work however [12:36] !info smbfs [12:36] #ubuntu-it [12:36] smbfs (source: samba): Samba file system utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4 (karmic), package size 1796 kB, installed size 5272 kB [12:37] can you give me a good example for this location: \\NORBI-PC\proiecte ? [12:37] !samba [12:37] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [12:37] check that first url for examples [12:39] smbmount //winpc/shared /mnt/share -o username=user,password=pass,rw [12:40] is similer to what you could try [12:42] whats the best way of installing windows vista on my computer without it interfering with linux [12:42] whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? [12:42] ae86-drifter: put it on its own hard drive, and use th pc's bios to pick what HD to boot [12:42] install it on its own partition prior to installing linux. [12:43] i already have linux installed [12:43] i really want to use grub to choose [12:43] ae86-drifter: then fix grub after installing vista (why vista?) [12:43] ae86-drifter: get 2nd hd for windowss.. Unplug linux drive.. install windows.. Plug linux back in.. use bios to pick what one to boot... [12:44] of coruse grub will see the windows install when it updates.. so you may as well set linux drive to boot by default [12:44] Dr_Willis, i already have windows vista on a spare hd, could i put it in and configure grub to just boot it ? [12:44] ae86-drifter: in theory 'update-grub' will do that automatcally [12:44] if you are using grub2 [12:44] ae86-drifter: by the way, ae86 rocks ;) [12:44] Dr_Willis, ok thansk [12:44] Dr_Willis: i think i have to restart the system [12:45] a friend did a big update and now the admin password is not being accepted [12:45] thx [12:45] it doesn`t work [12:45] can somebody tell me if I can make my webcam pleomax pwc-3800 work under ubuntu 10.04 [12:45] and the shared things are not password protected, so it must be not so complicated to set up the mount [12:45] hi [12:46] norbi: thers no spaces in the sharenames are there? that can really goof things up [12:48] whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? [12:48] i'm looking for it to install it [12:48] How to see the latest installed updates? for some reason my video players are crashing suddenly :( [12:48] still nothing [12:50] please help ... a friend did a big update and now the admin password is not being accepted [12:50] Can someone help me to merge partitions? I have a Toshiba laptop that I want to dual boot with Ubuntu. For some reason Toshiba as 3 partitions on the drive. I tried deleting the 2 small partitions and seeing if I could resize the main partition and it's not working. [12:51] zetheroo, the admin password is randomized in ubuntu [12:51] AceKing, a dual boot of windows and linux usually has three partitions [12:51] AceKing, windows, linux, and swap [12:51] stevecam: I mean the sudo password [12:51] whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? [12:51] join #hackers-india [12:51] i'm looking for it to install it [12:51] zetheroo, can it log in? [12:51] stevecam: yes [12:51] vivid, I know but windows is setup with three partitions already [12:52] vivid, Ubuntu wants to write over Vista [12:52] AceKing, boot with the ubuntu livecd and use gparted to modify your disk [12:52] to make room for ubuntu [12:52] thats strange, if it can log in and it wont let you sudo im guessing the password is right but something else is wrong [12:53] AceKing, be thoughtful of which partitions you edit, as youll likely lose data in the process [12:53] vivid, that's what I want to know.. How do I do that with 3 partitions already on the disk? [12:53] boot the livecd [12:53] then run System>Administration>Gparted [12:53] vivid, they have a 1.5gb and a 7 gb partion that I'mt rying to delete [12:56] vivid, the 1.5 gb is before the vista partition, and the 7 gb is after. I deleted both partitions and have unallocated space that I can't seem to do anything with [12:56] whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? [12:56] i'm looking for it to install it [12:56] Hi .... does anybody know how can I manage my devices from the terminal like the Palimpset utility(GUI)?? [12:56] AceKing, gparted will allow you to move partitions on the disk [12:57] vivid, I'm going to boot in to live CD right now. [12:59] hi, for some reason my firefox doesn't want to throw flashobjects away after they aren't used anymore in a tab. Why and how to fix this? (Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8, Ubuntu 9.10) [12:59] stevecam: I just found out the system logs in automatically [13:00] whats the difference between ; and && in amongst commands? [13:00] zetheroo, sounds like a case of using the wrong password then [13:01] sagaci, && is used to link commands, example 'cd /dir && ./program' === jofo_ is now known as jofo [13:01] sagaci, those sort of questions are not ubuntu specific, try asking in ##linux when you want to find out information like that === MK is now known as Guest6362 [13:03] is there any possibility to reset the network setting to default? [13:05] human374, can you narrow the question? what are you trying to udo? === Dreamglider^afk is now known as Dreamglider [13:05] ubuntu-it-chat [13:05] #ubuntu-it-chat [13:06] vivid, I clicked on the vista drive and clicked on Resize/ Move. I moved the slider all the way over and clicked on apply. I keep getting an error occurred while applying operations [13:06] How do I install the restricted driver manager on 9.10? [13:06] thats probably because its the second partition [13:07] for example, sda has three partitions, sda1, sda2, and sda3 [13:07] vivid, even thought it's unallocated space? [13:07] you cannot make sda2 sda1 without deleting it [13:07] AceKing, just use that small 1.5g space at the start as your swap space [13:09] sagaci: && just waits until what before has completed and exited, look at the bash page, ; is more used for programming bash stuff [13:09] vivid, I tried that. another thing I'm noticing is that the ntfs drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point [13:09] (first sorry abou my bad english), we live 3 in a flat so somebody always split the net for the others because our router is weak... and when I tried to dial with ubuntu I used pppoeconf and all the older settings are lost, and now I got this message "Wired Networks [13:10] device not managed" [13:10] AceKing, my ntfs drive has the same icon [13:10] it means that you cannot read it because its not mounted [13:10] if i mount the drive it goes away [13:10] vivid, ok [13:11] vivid, even when I clicked on "Check" for the ntfs partition I get an error [13:11] hi, for some reason my firefox doesn't want to throw flashobjects away after they aren't used anymore in a tab. Why and how to fix this? (Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8, Ubuntu 9.10) [13:11] i just converted another windows user to ubuntu [13:11] hi peeps how hard would it to be to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu from karamic [13:11] human374, hmmm, i dont know much about pppoe; maybe someone else will help [13:11] bbelt16ag not hard at all [13:12] and if i did would weechat-curses a 3.0 version?

[13:16] :) [13:17] acicula: lack of priviledges? [13:17] woa [13:17] zetheroo: "sudo passwd" ? [13:17] it's Adium.. not Audium :) [13:17] didnt see those thanks peeps [13:17] zetheroo: your user no longer being in the admin group probably [13:17] who was looking for weechat 3.x? [13:18] vivid: bbelt16ag [13:18] its easy to compile weechat from source [13:18] 10.04 has version 0.3.0 also [13:18] kinja-sheep: ok - one sec .... helping someone with this over skype chat [13:18] man ..look at the amount of swag you can buy to support OpenBSD ( https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order ) - Ubuntu doesnt have half as much [13:18] jrib: that can do it?

[13:19] weel i tired [13:19] chilli0: it will try to, yes. But if limewire is some sort of gui program, it probably won't work just like that [13:19] !cron > chilli0 [13:19] chilli0, please see my private message [13:19] my pastebin is up there in the backlog [13:19] chilli0: The best way is to test it yourself.

[13:20] chilli0: See what jrib said. You will have to use "DISPLAY=:0 limewire" as to indict which display/monitor to use [13:20] acicula: it's happened to someone I am trying to help over skype chat [13:21] acicula: they are trying to update (sudo apt-get update) [13:21] chilli0: You always can test it by "ssh localhost" then run the program. :o [13:21] zetheroo: tell her to type "group" in a terminal.

[15:34] chazco, im not aware of any bluetooth tunneling apps [15:34] chazco: i guess you could, pulse is very modular so i dont see why not, it will take smoe work but linux is very flexible [15:34] ActionParsnip, no. still slow. [15:35] I have a dual monitor setup and I want automatic startup of applications (firefox, thunderbird, xchat, pidgin) on selected positions on both screens... so far only pidgin remembers where to go (and I didn't do anything for this)... all other pile up just on one screen... but remember there size.... is there a gnome command to force an application on one of the screens? [15:35] Megrem: read that msg by ubottu [15:35] airtonix / ActionParsnip - Thought it wouldn't be setup currently... sounds interesting though, might have an attempt a this [15:35] meatbun: do you get ANY output from: uname -a | grep x86_64 ? [15:35] ok MD5 codes does not match [15:35] chazco, all bluetooth apps for linux expect to use bluetooth devices on the machine they are run on. [15:35] elzorab: then the ISO is bad. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check the files you download [15:35] download again ISO ? [15:35] yep [15:36] hehe [15:36] chazco, so unless your bluetooth app lets you use mic input from pulseaudio then you will be out of luck. [15:36] ActionParsnip, no output. i am on x86 not 64 bit os [15:36] ok thx on my way [15:36] ActionParsnip, plus, my whole system slows down when i watch that video on youtube [15:36] elzorab: yes, its bad. Thats why MD5 tests exist so you can check stuff [15:36] or is there a application startup script that has a screen choice? [15:36] meatbun: just checking ;) [15:36] ActionParsnip, however, when i save the youtube video and watch locally with totem, it's fast [15:37] alpharesearch, research 'devilspie" [15:37] meatbun: have you got 3D accelleration (compiz going etc) [15:37] airtonix - It might be doable, will probably take some coding. I'm actually thinking wii remotes... [15:37] meatbun: ^ [15:37] abhi_nav: lol well i used this tutorial to install the cam: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1184619 [15:37] ActionParsnip, dont thnk so. i just did a clean install o 9.10 today. all default setting [15:37] alpharesearch, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Devilspie [15:37] but it didn't work.. the error i told you before [15:37] Megrem: have you followed the link give by ubottu? [15:37] yes [15:37] then? [15:38] and my camera is not even listed there [15:38] airtonix: thanks, this looks like what I need! [15:38] meatbun: install compizconfig-settings-manager and if you can't enable cmopiz then you dont have your video card going fullt [15:38] ActionParsnip, firefire/youtube slow down to a point, the firefox grayed out, and switching to xchat is slow too [15:38] meatbun: which will explain the slowness [15:38] i've got the logitech quickcam messenger plus.. lsusb: Bus 002 Device 011: ID 046d:08f6 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messenger Plus [15:38] meatbun: sudo lshw -C display | grep -i product will help you find guides on setting it up [15:40] meatbun: have you tried www.youtube.com/html5, and maybe also installed google chrome? [15:40] Megrem: see if this helps: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/linux-driver-for-quickcam-usb-cameras-logitech-quickcam-fusion/ [15:41] ActionParsnip, ok i just installed compizconfig-settings-manager ; need reboot? change some setting?

[15:43] meatbun: if you get effects your video card is running fine, if you get your terminal back then you do not have video card drivers running [15:43] doleyb: chromium +1 duder [15:43] Trojan-Horses ????

It depends on jackd and ffado. I have installed jackd and ffado by compiling from source. How do I install ardour using apt-get without it installing the versions of the dependencies that are in the package manager database? [15:46] antimicrosoft314, make sure you still have alsa-base and alsa-utils installed [15:46] ok [15:46] checking [15:47] BluesKaj: they're installed [15:47] why does my wifi card not show up in nm-applet unless I reinstall gnome-network-manager and reboot?

Where can I set similar things besides the mentioned windows?

[15:49] karan: ##linux [15:49] its the same thing karan [15:49] llutz: thanks, i'll check it out [15:49] wat erusel? [15:49] hmw: i set that in xorg.conf personally [15:49] karan: depends entirely on confi [15:49] g [15:49] ok [15:49] older packages, same system, speed is dependent on how much crap you have running [15:49] karan: I see no diffrence, but I prefer KDE3 so that's why sometimes I use Debian, because KDE4 is in Ubuntu [15:49] doleyb:I can't find the OpenVC thou.. [15:49] what is the fastest linux distro..gnome based [15:49] Guyz why i dont have sound i Counter Strike [15:49] ?? [15:49] is there an effective way to get the real-time kernel to play nice in multitasking situations? i like the performance boost it gives but it seems that after a while X hangs if you have it juggling many things at once [15:49] karan: i could nistall a minimal ubuntu and compare to a full kde desktop with compiz running [15:50] ActionParsnip: actually, I just want to get rid of it [15:50] karan: the minimal one WILL be faster and both are ubuntu [15:50] karan, there is no fastest gnome based distro, its dependent on what you have running, ##linux [15:50] hmw: there are server flags in xorg.conf you can set to disable sleep etc tect === homer is now known as Guest70805 [15:51] ActionParsnip: i see. Thanks! [15:51] hmw: http://pastebin.com/sBqw8Kg5 [15:51] rohithwiz23: maybe try http://dircweb.king.ac.uk/reason/opencv_cvs.php#Hardy [15:51] abhi_nav: i think it's a problem of my system.. see the error: http://pastebin.com/gEEQxjfY [15:51] hmw: thats mine from my desktop [15:51] hmw, youre probably looking for xset s off and xset dpms 0 0 0 [15:51] hmw: note the server flags ;) [15:52] ActionParsnip: oh, nice. thanks. vivid: thanks, too. Both: Is it a bug of the GUI? I mean, i set "never" [15:52] hmw, no, gnome has screensaver, and so does the Xserver [15:52] redundant but they both exist [15:52] doleyb: Im running 9.10 [15:52] vivid: uhm.... "ok" [15:52] emergency: GDM failed on boot up. I somehow forced gdm on device 1. How to restore please? [15:53] Megrem: i dont have that much technical knowledge. ask someone else :-( [15:53] rohithwiz23: There doesn't seem to be a package for OpenCV. You will have to install the program from source. The official installation guide is here: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/InstallGuide [15:54] well, my mood is like: take that fucking thing called camera and smash it like 10thousand times against a wall [15:54] hmw: ive always used xorg.conf I guess I'm too old skool [15:54] !ohmy | Megrem [15:54] Megrem: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [15:54] ActionParsnip: *grin* I miss old xorg.conf [15:54] Hi, Uh.. For some odd reason my / directory is 2.4gb in size [15:54] Megrem, do you have your linux-source and linux-headers packages installed? [15:54] doogxela: Do I need compilers if so where can I get them? [15:54] hmw: if you make one, it will be obeyed [15:54] ActionParsnip: too much magic goin on today [15:54] I have *no* idea why.. how can I track down what is using up all the drive-space? (From the CLI) [15:55] hmw: exactly :) [15:55] well i did, but i think i've made a mistake [15:55] i have vlc player installed but unable to play movies off dvd discs... [15:55] Slyboots: cd /; du -la | less [15:55] Megrem: [15:55] that error is telling you that you kernel source is missing headers, its likely you dont have them installed [15:55] wrapster: install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo [15:55] what to do? [15:56] !who [15:56] 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 :) [15:56] ActionParsnip: could you please give me the source.lst for that? [15:56] ActionParsnip: Uh.. what? [15:56] !medibuntu | wrapster [15:56] wrapster: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:56] Megrem, 'sudo apt-get install linux-source linux-headers-generic' [15:56] vivid: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [15:56] then try the build again [15:56] doleyb: If I use download only, it won't keep it up to date, will it? [15:56] So I just have to sort through the thousands of files one page at a time x.x?! [15:56] Slyboots: it will list ALL the files and their folder sizes in command line, look for large folders [15:56] doogxela: that's probably true! [15:56] God that'll take an age x.x [15:57] the metapackage should take care of that for him, but either will work im sure [15:57] Is there not a way to just show the largest files/directories? [15:57] deos xfce support compiz? [15:57] Slyboots: i also recommend you run: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image the first line is your CURRENT kernel, the rest are the INSTALLED kernels. You can remove the unused kernels to free up space [15:57] Slyboots: du -xs * | sort -rn | head [15:57] Arnt those on /boot? [15:57] rohithwiz23: You probably already have a compiler installed, but if you don't, gcc is what you would want. Then you will need CMake to build the application. [15:57] Slyboots: du -xs /* | sort -rn | head [15:57] i swear karan is just trolling o.O [15:57] karan: yes, compiz will replace the WM only, you will still use the xfce DE [15:57] Slyboots: keep descending in the fs tree [15:58] vivid: downloading right now 1:30 remaining [15:58] Hmm.. "var" is 500mb [15:58] how am i trolling [15:58] vivid! [15:58] lol [15:58] doogxela: Is there any way to give my user all the rights root user has? [15:58] can i get help abt WIRESHARK in here?

[16:00] rohithwiz23: You could, but don't do it. If you need something to run as root, use sudo. [16:00] Is it safe to delete that? [16:00] Slyboots: sudo apt-get clean [16:00] Slyboots: it's better to do "aptitude clean" [16:00] Slyboots: sudo apt-get clean [16:00] doogxela: In the terminal [16:01] Slyboots: also install bleacbit and run it as user and root, it will clean lots of stuff (close as MANY apps as you can) [16:01] Isn't aptitude just apt-get with a text gui? [16:01] wireshark help [16:01] I hate aptitude. [16:01] is there a way to disable screensavers system-wide? [16:01] suleman: make the actual question [16:01] Nollog: then use apt-get, both are fnie [16:01] i still fail to see why aptitude is better than apt-get [16:01] I do. [16:01] Nollog: not if you supply cli arguments [16:01] Hmm.. okay, going to need space to cleanup first [16:01] * ksbalaji is away: Away [16:01] vivid: next error: http://pastebin.com/AAKvCqMV [16:01] Slyboots: the apt-get clean will make things a bit better [16:01] vivid: if you use it with arguments, it behaves just like apt-get; if you don't supply arguments, you have a curses gui [16:01] Yea, freed up 200mb :) [16:02] apt-get autoremove is nice too. === cpdstudio_ is now known as blueghost [16:02] hello, I'm trying to customize an ubunut === om26er is now known as om26er_LHSWC [16:02] Where's gloom? :( [16:02] hi. can please someone point me to a good guide on setting up hibernate in eclipse? [16:02] Nollog: sudo apt-get --purge remove `deborphan` is nice too ;) [16:02] rohithwiz23: Let's say you need to run "apt-get install gcc" as root. You would type "sudo apt-get install gcc". It would then ask you for your password, then run the program as root. [16:02] ActionParsnip: too much to type. :P [16:02] Megrem, im sorry, i cant read german [16:03] I think I ay just have to make / bigger o.o [16:03] I though 2.4gb would be plenty.. [16:03] though i honestly wish i could [16:03] Nollog: you can copy and paste to and from the terminal [16:03] So does anyone know how to tell apt that you have already installed a dependency from source, so it doesn't try to install it from the repository? [16:03] AndyGraybeal go to sestem=>preferences=>screensaver and uncheck activate screensaver when computer is idle [16:03] Slyboots: 4 GiB is a good minimum for root [16:03] doogxela: I tried doing this but i get the following error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[16:04] ActionParsnip: Not I! I'm in several different locations at once using vnc+ssh. I'm going through about 5 computers. :D [16:04] rohithwiz23: that means you already have a package manager running. You need to close Synaptic.
