If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:03] ZykoticK9, and or just what exists out there that is like Handbrake for any and all other formats [00:03] howdy everyone [00:03] so i have the freq applet for my panel [00:03] gaurav, check sound settings, 9 times out of 10 it's mute - and you don't realise it ;) [00:04] hi! how can I change the location bar to the editable form by default?

[00:05] abstrakt, there is such a tool, can't think of the name now though :( [00:05] abstrakt: yes [00:05] erUSUL, i actually am trying to get ffserver to work [00:05] abstrakt, winff is a gui frontend to ffmpeg - it's really ffmpeg with the AAC bug [00:05] what is a keepass2.x compatible password manager? [00:05] Is there a way of displaying all the uid on a system, using the Terminal? [00:05] bigtom21485: "sudo cpufreq-set -g performance" [00:05] urs13: what do you mean a curb bit? pardon my enthusiasm...in vista, windows scaling controller didnt do anything at all. at least with this i get something :-) [00:06] erUSUL, i got ffserver running, and i just tried to send a video to the ffserver feed using ffmpeg but i got "Unsupported codec for output stream" http://ffmpeg.pastebin.com/XxVpmb9p [00:06] bigtom21485: stick that in /etc/rc.local (without the sudo) [00:06] bigtom21485: Was only teasing. sorry. [00:06] bad joke [00:06] abstrakt, that's the AAC bug [00:06] erUSUL, and i'm assuming it's obviously cuz the video i tried to send has a different codec than what ffserver is expecting [00:06] erUSUL: how do i do that? [00:06] bigtom21485, tbh, the CPU will spend 90% of it's uptime life in idle mode - and force changing that may not be what you want. [00:06] abstrakt: to get mp3 support you have to install libmame [00:06] mame eh?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:07] erUSUL, hmm i don't see libmame in synaptic, i've got mediubuntu installed [00:07] um [00:07] this is weird [00:08] ubuntu just froze and only the xchat window is responding [00:08] abstrakt, it was a type liblame [00:08] !info libmp3lame0 [00:08] ahh i've got liblame [00:08] libmp3lame0 (source: lame): An MP3 encoding library.

Do you have a .jar file or .class file? [00:24] I think i mighta got it, i used skill ccsm [00:24] Hey all, I am in need of help finding a way to manually control fan speeds on my Dell Inspiron 1545. My fans won't run at all when Ubuntu loads, which is causing correspondingly high CPU temps (50-60C). However, the fans will run when I first power the laptop on, but right after POSTing and when Ubuntu begins to load they all shut off. I have tried using Gkrellm with the Dell I8k plugin, I8kmon on its own, and have tried googling a sol [00:24] ution to this problem without success. My BIOS does not offer options to alter fan speeds, but it does offer an option to force the CPU to run on low performance settings - which I have used in an effort to stem high temps. [00:24] My CPU is an Intel Centrino 2 P8700 at 2.53 GHz. All settings are stock (no overclocks of any kind, rather, I have underclocked it). I am running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. [00:24] noobtastic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:24] sorry [00:25] no such option --replace [00:25] ibuclaw [00:25] screw it, im a simple man ill just keep using fluxbox :'( [00:26] fluxbox is handy [00:26] noobtastic, try installing the lm-sensors package and see if that sees the fan controllers? [00:27] well I think i mighta figured it out. I just checked my apperance settings.. some how they got reset to NONE instead of Advanced. [00:27] I have, and it doesn't see anything sadly [00:27] its working now.. lol [00:27] wow.. [00:27] terminal is FUCKED up.. cant even see the text in it [00:27] hi [00:27] noobtastic, did sensors-detect find any pwm controllers?

[00:28] I'll try again to make sure [00:29] well the file icons you see in ubuntu are managed by nautilus [00:29] barcode: there are ways to get icons you just have to run that app on start [00:29] but getting icons in fluxbox will require some effort yeah === chris__ is now known as __cheriot__ [00:29] noobtastic, do you have anything in /sys/class/hwmon?

The whole system is wrapped up into a few monolithic files, which means its easier to screw up, etc. (That said, I have no idea how easy or difficult it will be to fix it) [00:42] and it wipes it when it dont work bravo weechat bravo. all my hard work.. [00:42] gone! [00:42] Hi guys. I have a bit of a major problem here. i recently reinstalled Windows 7, and it knocked GRUB2 out as the main bootloader and put the default as NTLDR instead. [00:42] acicula: that is not the issue ... updates come in when you manually request them ... the issue is with being notified that there are avaialble updates automatically [00:42] rpg, i think it was a case of package corruption while installing [00:42] Flannel: I was afraid of that; normally I run a standard Ubuntu install, but I've had to use a Wubi install in the last few days... unfortunately it would appear that it didn't like me doing that :P [00:42] anyone no much about intel raid on an ich9r controlers? [00:42] as a result i have a non-bootable Ubunut 9.10 partition [00:42] !dualboot | boodroscotch [00:42] boodroscotch: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:42] Nickalai: I would've suspected that, EXCEPT that it wasn't actually installing - it was still downloading [00:42] Nickalai: Oh wait, I see what you mean [00:42] boodroscotch: look at the urls from ubottu, theres a guide on recovering grub there [00:43] zetheroo: im checking to see if its not fetching updates [00:43] !grub2 | boodroscotch [00:43] boodroscotch: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:43] rpgsimmaster: that should not have happened, and sounds as strange to me as it does to you. It could be a coincidence, with some hardware / kernel error occurring at the same time. In my experience, the vast majority of such hard freezes have been due to kernel issues or hardware issues. [00:43] acicula: thanks a bunch. downloading the ISO right now ;D [00:43] hmmm. thatz interesting, thats a nice problem youve come across [00:44] Nickalai, lucid_interval: I've encountered such freezes before, usually related to running compiz...

I misread your orig post. Ability to REBOOT should not be affected. Only changes to installed kernel(s), bootloader and/or other (rare) low-levelc hanges, such as busybox, init, libc should affect ability to reboot. [00:45] is there a way to gue this raid back together with ubuntu software raid [00:45] acicula: Update Manager works when it's manually triggered to fetch updates ... that is fine ... but I have never gotten a notification telling me that updates are available ... as I did in previous releases of Ubuntu [00:46] it is a stripe raid [00:46] The only hard drive writes that were happening were packages being saved to the hard drive... which makes this whole situation very weird [00:46] nvm, I'll start by mounting the Wubi partition, and seeing what I've ended up with [00:47] zetheroo: is it set to automatically install updates? [00:47] zetheroo: does running apt-get upgrade result in packages being suggested for installation? [00:47] rpgsimmaster: the only thing that comes to my feeble mind is th epossibility that some low-level graphics driver is grabbing the PCI/PCI-E bus and a "warm" reboot does not reset that. Can you (i know it takes a long time) try to differentiate between warm reboot and cold reboot (turn off, pull power cord out and try again)? [00:47] is there a way to see my own avatar in a pidgin conversation window? [00:48] !!! question... the Wubi disk files are normally contained in C:\ubuntu\disks\... aren't they? [00:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:48] anyone? [00:49] I would appear to have a serious problem [00:49] I just went into that directory - the folder 'disks' was listed [00:49] I clicked on it [00:49] it errored out [00:49] and then the directory disappeared... [00:49] hi. my usb pen drive doesn't get recognized by ubuntu. but the red LED on it is on [00:50] can enyone pleas help with my problem? [00:50] boscop: sudo fdisk -l [00:50] acicula: it is set to check daily for updates and to notify about available updates [00:51] zetheroo, yes, now the update manager window pops up once a week for regular updates or every time there are secuirty updates. and there isn't a tray icon anymore. [00:51] kostkon: oh ok ... [00:51] lucid_interval: any idea why my wubi disks file, and the disks folder might be pulling arbitrary vanishing acts? [00:52] kostkon: that would make sense ... I probably get around to manually checking for updates before the scheduled weekly time came [00:52] especially when they appear one moment, then disappear when I click on them? [00:52] usr13: http://pastebin.com/61aqW80n [00:52] zetheroo, yeap. why not [00:52] im not really use to linux, https://launchpad.net/desktop-switcher how do i install that? [00:52] Hullo, Ubuntu-people. I am setting up a new machine under 8.04 and I'm trying to get it to share a few folders with anther running 9.10. Both are 32-bit and on the same network. I've tried the SMB approach as the 9.10 was already set up to talk to a windows box on the network, but the 8.04 seems unable to get the shares list. I also tried ssh but the 8.04 tries for a half-minute and then reports a timeout. [00:52] hgri89, as we have no idea of how the RAID was put together, your 1st port of call will be NEC [00:52] kostkon: no worriers ... that is what I was wondering ... if something like that changed ... ;) [00:53] Anyone know how to get HDMI + sound working in Ubuntu? [00:53] it just says it is a stripe of 2 500 gig seagates [00:53] If I plug my laptop which had windows in it to a TV with HDMI; there was sound straight on without much more than selecting a correct output [00:53] but thank i will give em a call [00:53] under ubuntu, i get no sound and i've tested all available outputs [00:53] three of them being labeled HDMI in em [00:54] I am beginning to suspect bad sectors on my hard drive - the space is still listed as in use :S [00:54] >:| [00:54] rebooting [00:54] Is anyone around that's had experience with preseeding a ubuntu install? [00:54] hgri89, if you pop over to ##devil I'll try and help - But I do not say that I can solve it, as it appears to be a anufacturer system [00:55] HOPLA [00:55] HOLAHO [00:55] AHOAL [00:55] DFGH [00:55] DFG [00:55] brahim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:55] DFG [00:55] usr13: any idea? [00:55] usr13: it's a 1 GB pen drive btw [00:55] PEDRO [00:56] :o [00:56] phillw_, this isn't my idea of fucking [00:57] :P [00:57] Was plugged in when you did sudo fdisk -l ? [00:57] Hi guys [00:57] dlynes, pre-seeding ? [00:58] usr13: sure [00:58] boscop: Try a different USB port. [00:58] This may turn out to be a stupid question, however...I would like to remove a package using apt-get. However, when I try to do so, it prompts for the removal of a related package. Is there a directive I can use to instruct the aptitude system to remove ONLY the package I am specifying? [00:58] phillw_, yeah [00:58] The package to remove is usplash-ubuntustudio-theme, but it always wants to remove ubuntustudio-desktop. [00:59] phillw_, to automate the install [00:59] usr13: didn't help! [00:59] The desktop thing is usually just a meta-package. [00:59] phillw_, i'm guessing you've never done preseeding, if you're asking that? [00:59] boscop: What type of device is it? [00:59] phillw_, it's like kickstart files, but you can fine tune it more than kickstart files [01:00] usr13: a simple 1 GB flash drive [01:00] dlynes, if u pop over to #ubuntu-beginners it's a) quieter b) more of us than questions [01:00] Well still, is there a way to tell it remove ONLY the specified package? [01:00] I have 3 questions. What's the best way to get a vnc server to startup with ubuntu? NFS mounts in fstab sometimes don't mount unless I type mount -a. This is not ideal. What's the best way to correct this? I use nvidia drivers. The resolution resets upon reboot. I use nvidia control panel to get things setup correctly. Copy the configuration to my xorg.conf file but it still resets the resolution on reboot. Any ideas why? [01:00] I wouldn't even be removing it, if it would display correctly. [01:00] boscop: make & model? [01:00] In fact, hold up..maybe the ubuntustudio developers can help me out with that. [01:01] usr13: no info on it about that, I got it from a company [01:01] im there now [01:01] sorry pigin had a hicough with the ammount of rooms in the list [01:01] boscop: lsusb [01:02] dlynes, you can configure up the installation system anyway you want - this is used for sys-adminisatrators, but you have noe said how you want the script doing for you circunmstance. [01:02] boscop: and ... unlug it and plug it back in while watching tail -f /var/log/messages === blueghost is now known as FQAss [01:03] usr13: http://pastebin.com/pFg2T6tE [01:03] opa [01:03] sou novo [01:03] phillw_, thanks...asked over on ubuntu-beginners...didn't even know about the channel [01:03] aqui [01:03] phillw_, even if i had...wouldn't have thought to ask there, because I figured it was a more advanced question [01:03] usr13: nothing changed!! [01:03] anyone know how to force my freq applet for my panel to run at 2GHz like its supposed to? [01:04] if i wnated more battery power i wouldve bought an intel instead of an amd [01:04] Hmm...no one is responding for UbuntuStudio [01:04] i need help [01:04] usr13: it just showed this all the time: http://pastebin.com/BJz4p7rr [01:04] i can not download agame [01:04] usr13: who was helping me earlier with my processor scaling? === FQAss is now known as FxQAss [01:05] usr13: i got off to eat dinner [01:06] i can not download a game and i have wine [01:06] steven_, which? [01:06] allods online [01:06] Do a barrel roll! [01:07] wes: lol [01:07] What version of Wine do you use? [01:07] wes: get the mashroom mario grows taller [01:07] having trouble with HDD, setup doesn't recognize it anymore, is there any free software to recover data? [01:07] Are there any package sets geared highly toward graphics/web/desktop publishing? [01:07] USE THE BOOST TO GET THROUGH. [01:07] xiven: use wine to run something from windows [01:07] pedro3005: the game is allods online haakon- i do not know how can i see [01:08] If I am going to use windows I'll just use it [01:08] I run Ubuntu within a VM inside Vista. [01:08] zz [01:08] steven_, sorry but AppDB shows that game does not work with wine === FxQAss is now known as badApple [01:08] Thanks to Photoshop being Windows only, I've never been able to completely convert to Linux. Plus, sometimes things go wrong, so I have to revert to Windows until I can get it repaired. [01:08] hmm .. is it possible to remove stuff .. without apt wanting to download/install/upgrade various other stuff/replacement? [01:08] dose anyone know if roadnav has been abandoned by the developers ? have not seen any new releases or updates or anything in a long time [01:09] so i can paly it [01:09] heck .. ill rem everything in sources.list and remove it :P [01:09] pedro3005: ok what about d&d online [01:09] hey, any developers currently online? [01:10] I was talking to a couple the other day..don't remember who [01:10] steven_, that one seems to work [01:10] ok ... now its just messed up :P [01:10] steven_, follow the tutorial on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17785&iTestingId=50634 [01:10] Yes, but which version of wine do you use? [01:10] I wanna change the way my cpu runs so it runs 2ghz when i tell it to using the freq panel app [01:11] if anyone can help me that'd be great :-) [01:11] pedro3005: i know that one dose but i cant get it to work [01:11] I would suggest adding the wine ppa so you get newer versions, at least for playing games. [01:11] steven_, well, as I've said, follow the tutorial [01:11] is it so damn hard to remove ONE program/package? without apt wanting to uninstall/reinstall/upgrade/download/install other stuff? rem on all repos in sources.list atleast made it stop wanting to download replacements .. but it still wants to remvoe other stuff :P [01:12] Have you done the apt-get autoclean thingy? [01:12] hi === sean is now known as Guest69794 [01:12] haakon__: yea the apt cache is empty [01:13] I'm having an issue with file ownership [01:13] jastor: Weird, I have no idea. What does Synaptic do? Does it throw a fit as well? [01:13] youd probably have to use dpkg, jastor [01:13] Guest69794, yes? [01:13] though i dont know its syntax [01:13] haakon__: ill check.. [01:13] Guest, I'd sugest you run "gksudo nautilus" and browse to the file, and right clicking it, and from there select properties. [01:14] The best way I can think of, if you need to take ownership of a file at least. [01:14] Crap! I removed UbuntuStudio's USplash theme, and now I am getting no screens found at startx [01:14] xiven: Seriously? [01:14] sudo chown username filename [01:14] Yeah [01:14] I have ubuntu 9.10 on a hp tx2525nr and I'm not getting any sound...before I updated, i had sound [01:14] I tried editing the properties, but it says I'm not the owner, I think that might be because I installed windows vista first [01:14] That error seems to be caused randomly [01:14] Guest: That's not it. ;) [01:14] bigtom, check for new drivers in the download center [01:14] Guest69794, what file is that? [01:14] Note that ownership on a windows disk doesn't work like that [01:15] Ohh I bet I know why [01:15] I have to use VBox Graphics Driver [01:15] guest69794: the download center? wheres that? [01:15] haakon, what do I try next then? [01:15] Guest69794, yes, as cafuego says, the file has to be on a linux partition [01:15] haakon__: yea :P synaptic throws a fit as well [01:15] applications -> ubuntu software center bigtom [01:15] Hey guys, does anyone think they can help me out with a problem I'm having installing Ubuntu? [01:16] Does anyone know of a screen saver, or an alternate method, to switch workspaces at a set interval? [01:16] The most likely reason would be that you're not the owner of the file. Root however can change the owner of any file, so in order to take control of a file you don't own, you have to elevate to root first. Graphically, you can just use nautilus, run it from a terminal or from + F2 with the line "gksudo nautilus" [01:16] Guest69794: If you need to be the owner of a file on a windows file system you'll need to play with the mount options for that partition. usually set the gid and fmask/dmask options. [01:16] pedro3005: it say to hit the blue run com. but there is not one [01:16] how do I recover a linux install after a ubuntu install>? [01:16] hello... having an issue with 9.10. it seems my F row functionality is inverted. Hitting F1 tries to connect to a projector, and hitting +F1 uses the intended function of F1 for a program... is there a way to fix this? [01:16] windows install [01:16] doh [01:16] haakon what is the full command line? [01:16] are there any good FPS games for ubuntu? [01:16] Crysis [01:17] free? [01:17] i installed windows after installing ubuntu, and want to recover ubuntu. [01:17] quake live [01:17] steven_, what? [01:17] i need something thats active wes... is quake live active? [01:17] www.quakelive.com [01:17] guest 69794: how do i get my cpu to run at 2GHz all the time? i have athe ubuntu freq applet on my panel, and it has an option for running 2GHz, but it ignores my command to do so, and even in performance it doesnt go there very often which aggrivates me because i dont want a 1ghz computer i want a 2ghz computer [01:18] for launching nautilus in sudo mode? sudo nautilus. Otherwise, as cafuego has mentioned, you can use sudo chown username filename [01:18] haakon__: GNOME! openjdk ... python .. xbmc .. various other stuff [01:18] Anyone think they can help me out? Here's my issue. [01:18] I downloaded Ubuntu, burned it on a disc, and then installed it within windows. It gets through fine and then it gets to where it needs to restart. I restart, select Ubuntu from the OS's, and after a bit of text and the Ubuntu symbol, I get a black screen. [01:18] Blue1, all you need to do is boot up using a live cd, use the shell to mount the parition with ubunty and run update-grub on it [01:18] haakon__: i know theese programs doesnt require the package im trying to uninstall :) because they worked perfectly fine before that .. [01:18] If it's in a windows partition (NTFS) you'd have to change your mount options, which I don't know how to do. [01:18] pedro3005: the stie you told me to go to help out but one thing i donot have a blue run bottem to hit [01:18] I get an error: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" although it's not in use. I just killed apt because I need it to install gparted. how can I unlock that file? [01:18] Bigtom, I have no idea, sorry. I just had a hunch you had the same problem as me because I just updated yesterday and my internet drivers weren't working and thats how I fixed mine [01:18] xiven: ahh sounds easy [01:18] Although, you may need to run grub-install on the windows partition so it is in the MBR. [01:18] What package ARE you trying to uninstall jastor? [01:19] haakon__: exim4 [01:19] any combat games other than quake? [01:19] like America's Army [01:19] you know of cgywin? [01:19] or BF2 [01:19] haakon__, for launching any GUI programme, use gksudo, not sudo - you can screw things up big time [01:19] Although, that will cause the windows boot loader to come AFTER the GRUB loader [01:19] orwhatever it's called now [01:19] Sorry, man, I don't know how to do that. [01:19] sudo from the terminal have always worked for me? [01:19] dlvr: why cygwin? [01:19] Or, you could just modify boot.ini in Windows to have the option to boot the Ubuntu OS [01:19] steven_, what does it say? [01:19] Although, boot.ini doesn't make a bit of sense if you don't know what you're looking at. [01:19] because i'm mistaken lol [01:19] hmm [01:20] hello... having an issue with 9.10. it seems my F row functionality is inverted. Hitting F1 tries to connect to a projector, and hitting +F1 uses the intended function of F1 for a program... is there a way to fix this? [01:20] I have had evolution with exchange-mapi and a bunch of -dev parts installed for evolution because of a crazy mapi setup at work. I finally am able to connect to exchange normally again, so I got rid of the buggy mapi and other dev apps in synaptic. However, now, when I open evolution it insists on restoring from a backup. It gets to the "evolution setup assistant" I want to setup a new account but it forces me to choose a backup file [01:20] xiven: so the update-grub will only access mounted hdd's is that how it works? [01:20] pedro3005: what dose what say ? the downloader or the site [01:20] transgaming is what i meant to say [01:20] steven_, both [01:20] are you getting an error and what step are you at? [01:21] I think it will work with non-mounted device's too..but I don't remember how to tell you to do that lol [01:21] haakon__: ohwell .. but regardless of what i want to uninstall .. is it possible to uninstall just the exact stuff i type after remove? without apt worrying about replacements or dependencies? [01:21] Seriously, why is sudo from a terminal bad, except you don't get the neat graphical box, and also, I did mean to use gksudo in my type. [01:21] The easiest way for me has always been boot a linux live cd [01:21] Guest69794: I tried pulseaudio and that doesnt seem to work either how to i make sure its actually enabled? [01:21] jastor: I don't know. I'm not an expert. [01:21] Does anyone know of a screen saver, or an alternate method, to switch workspaces at a set interval? [01:21] haakon__: ok [01:21] guest: Have you tried to open a terminal, and use alsamixer? [01:21] haakon! thank you soo much! [01:21] haakon__, it's something about the user === zinox is now known as geek [01:21] Blue1, easy way to get control over a dual boot system --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 [01:21] And use the shell to mount the ubuntu parition, then chroot to it, and run update-grub, or grub-install if its not in the Windows MBR yet. [01:21] Blue1: teh update-grub checks for boot files on partitions [01:22] haakon__, I forgot what it was [01:22] install gentoo [01:22] is there alternative to wine? [01:22] phillw> Am I giving him good information, or do I need to re-read on that? [01:22] b2p1mp: thanks [01:22] diogo_79: crossover [01:22] That was what I had to do to get my HDMI cable to transmit sound at least. [01:22] haakon__, but there is a reason as to why you shouldn't use sudo for graphical applications [01:22] when i go to sound preferences and i go to hardware theres nothing listed [01:22] gksudo? [01:22] bigtom [01:22] diogo_79: seamless mode in vbox or vmware [01:22] pedro3005: he to let you know ok this is what it says on my down load ok dndsetup.exe [01:22] I'm not doubting you pedro, I just wondered if you remembered what it was. [01:22] I can always google myself... ;) [01:22] bigtom download both hardware drivers [01:22] haakon__, it's on the UF somewhere [01:22] diogo_79, yeah, but you have to pay for it & the votes are out as to if it is better than wine - why not make the free on better ? [01:23] just search in the software center hardware managers [01:23] cedega also is a wine stuff [01:23] cedega is the paid for version of wine or something wasn't it? [01:23] @ pedro3005 you should not use sudo for graphical stuff !!! [01:23] i thought cedega is no longer supported? [01:23] I use play on linux [01:23] phillw_, yes [01:23] playonlinux is a wrapper for wine though. [01:24] gksudo !!!! [01:24] what game are you trying to play?] [01:24] cedega .. heh .. they wanted to get paid .. and in thoose games i tried in them, some even worked better in wine ;) [01:24] It just adds options automatically. It's neat and good, but I prefer to do it myself. [01:24] pkbest: try open transport tycoon deluxe [01:24] application virtualization [01:24] haakon, one more thing. how do you change the login box in the startup screen? I was able to change the background but not the box itself. [01:24] any tips on free produt [01:24] fabio333, what? [01:24] guest: I don't know. [01:24] fabio333, why try to open it? [01:24] Sorry, I've never had that wish. [01:24] openttd best game on linux [01:24] The best game on linux is Mines [01:24] diogo_79: virtual box is free [01:24] diogo_79: yes theres an alternative .. virtualbox and windows ;) [01:24] Or maybe kSokoban. [01:25] thanks, haakon [01:25] haakon__: nope is openttd [01:25] i want to find a good combat game.. sorta liek combat arms [01:25] or america's army [01:25] bigtom, any luck? [01:25] fabio333: You're a heathen! >:( ;) [01:25] Well wth [01:25] pkbest: check out cedega [01:25] bigtom [01:25] did you try installing both driver packages? [01:25] emacs tetris is also nice, because sometimes you need a break [01:25] Why did removing UbuntuStudio's usplash theme take out xserver's screens.. [01:26] My guess, is that the xorg conf file somewhere depended on something being somewhere that removing usplash also removed. [01:26] guest69794: I installed pulseaudio from the software center [01:26] virtual box is free, but the licensed copy of windows is not [01:26] dlvr, cedega does not play well with those games as i have read [01:26] vim > emacs > * [01:26] abstrakt: Are you trying to rekindle the holy wars? :p [01:26] does jfs have an equivilant to dmask and fmask? (all i want to do is give the group rwx, i don't care about what the user has) [01:26] bigtom: which distro of ubuntu are you using? [01:26] 9.10 x64 [01:27] haakon__, noooo... who me?... never! [01:27] http://www.cedega.com/gamesdb/ [01:27] abstrakt: doesnt running cedega or wine require some windows stuff to run? .. i thought micorosft had objections about such ;) [01:27] M-x sarcasm [01:27] Guest69794: 9.10 x64 [01:27] you mean? [01:27] Does anyone know of a screen saver, or an alternate method, to switch workspaces at a set interval? [01:27] haakon__, no i ditched emacs for vim years ago [01:27] hmm [01:28] i want to copy a file to my language spec folder, but it won't allow me saying permission denied, but I'm the owner, how can i fix this? [01:28] Does anyone know how I can fix a blank screen after Ubuntu splash [01:28] and i did use emacs, hardcore, for many years... for the record [01:28] I want to make two partitions on my usb pen drive. what should I choose in gparted for format table? msdos? aix? bsd? it should get detected on win + linux [01:28] bigtom install hardware drivers (jockey-gtk) and hardware drivers (jockey-kde) [01:29] boscop: fat32 [01:29] boscop: well .. you could choose ntfs .. but some pendrives mess up then [01:29] jastor: there is no option for that [01:29] hi my hdd seems death, i can't see any partition, any way to recover data? [01:30] boscop: Go with FAT32 unless you need to have files >4gb on there. [01:30] only those mentioned before + amiga, dvh, gpt, mac [01:30] rjb: dead how -.. physical? mft? partiton gone wrong? [01:30] haakon__, real tetris with actual graphics is even better :) [01:30] jastor: it is a physical error [01:30] jastor, haakon__: I'm talking about the format for the partition table [01:31] jockey gtk was already installed which i found peculiar. im installing jockey-kde now. [01:31] rjb: depending on the extent of the damage .. yes and no [01:31] jastor: before boot makes some maxtor hdd makes some beeps [01:31] In a way, but if you're trying to get some ridiculous prolog AI working, you're spending some 30 minutes C-v/M-v'ing the damned thing, and finally figure it out, then you don't really have the energy to do anything else than M-x tetris. === i is now known as Guest95097 [01:31] Also, I live inside terminals these days. [01:31] should I go with msdos (the default)? [01:31] guest 69794: jockey gtk was already installed which i found peculiar. im installing jockey-kde now. [01:31] boscop, choose msdos for the table [01:31] can some help me [01:31] Most likely msdos is the best one. [01:31] bigtom, it was on mine too. just making sure. [01:31] jastor: what should i try? i have important information there [01:31] ok [01:32] haakon__, because moving the mouse down to my launch bar to launch it is SOO much harder than M-x tetris [01:32] lol [01:32] If you're not running an Xorg server, it actually is... ;) [01:32] tetris kinda blows anyway these days compared to what's available for video games [01:32] guest69794: its taking forever so i hope this is it :-) [01:32] rjb: is it a storage drive? or do you have the system on it? [01:32] ahh, ok well if you're living in the dark ages, then sure maybe that's good for you :) [01:32] i want to copy a file to my language spec folder, but it won't allow me saying permission denied, but I'm the owner, how can i fix this? [01:32] Hey, after installing timidity I get notifications that my soundcard HDA Intel stopped working, and I don't get any sound anymore.. How do I solve this? [01:33] abstrakt: unless you have a console then you have sveral other choices if you have extra brain cells that you can sacrafice [01:33] You use vim, you're in no position to talk about dark ages. [01:33] bigtom, no worries, it has a lot of drivers along with the ones you may need. [01:33] :p [01:33] orb01: pulseaudio issue [01:33] jastor: i have a win installation on it and all the data [01:33] fabio333: so I need to uninstall timidity again? [01:33] console ftw, but console only for workstation = fail [01:33] Don't want to bug. Did anyone have any ideas on my Evolution question earlier? [01:33] in more cases than not anyway [01:33] Seriously though, if I want 30 minutes to waste, I might as well play emacs tetris as anything else. [01:34] orb01: killall pulseaudio [01:34] Console for Emacs is pretty much all I need. [01:34] haakon__, well it's your life to waste :P [01:34] rjb: ok .. do you have any other harddrive on it with a system you can boot from? .. or any other computer you can do stuff on taht wont interfere with the damaged drive? [01:34] Prolog doesn't have any fancy IDEs anyway. [01:34] rjb: if its a ntfs/fat32 drive id just download something like hirens bootcd [01:34] It's not as popular as say... Java. [01:34] fabio333: it says no process found [01:34] if i open d&d with wine when it still in the download filer in says dll;C:/users/steven/Temp/is-LMT2K.tmp/PostInstallrunner.dill [01:34] orb01: sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel [01:35] sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel && sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel [01:35] jastor: actually i have ubuntu 9.10, the dead sata hdd is slave disk [01:35] Then again, Abstrakt, I don't spend my entire life inside a tty anyway. [01:35] rjb: ok [01:35] haakon_: what is a tty? [01:35] I usually use Tty2 for work, and have Tty7 as an xserver. [01:35] haakon__, neither do i... i spend most of it inside either GNOME or explorer.exe [01:35] bigtom what percent is your download at? [01:35] fabio333: rmmod gives error because it is in use, so I used -f, not sure if I was supposed to do that [01:35] Hi - I have a new Thinkpad with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 wireless card and cannot get it working. I have filed a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-tools/+bug/537814 - Is there something more I can do, or should I post this in other locations? [01:36] 27% but im alos on wifi with 8 other computers. family vacation. [01:36] bigtom: Type Ctrl-Alt+F2 and see for yourself. To get back to your graphical screen, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 [01:36] if you install ubuntu with the alternate install CD and choose total disk encryption, does it erase (or at least fill with 0's) all the data on the HDD? [01:36] jastor: how can i see other disk's data? [01:36] It's basically terminal only. [01:36] http://www.ihatenikki.com/?mylink=36e1c806f3833359 [01:36] well anyway, i just setup a streaming video server with ffmpeg today... [01:36] * abstrakt is quite proud of himself [01:36] so does it disable the GUI (GNOME) or does it just make it invisible until im done with code? and why wouldnt i just open a terminal window? [01:37] It's a personal taste type of thing. For those of all who are stone-ageish like me. [01:37] rjb: looking to see if theres any decent program [01:37] jastor: i made fdisk -l and i only see 1 disk [01:37] Well, if removing the usplash theme broke packages, wouldn't apt-get check report/fix it? [01:37] bigtom: It runs at the same time. [01:37] if you install ubuntu with the alternate install CD and choose total disk encryption, does it erase (or at least fill with 0's) all the data on the HDD? [01:37] rjb: ok .. [01:37] you can have it do that gamer [01:38] Emanon: how? [01:38] It's essentially an aesthetical choice. [01:38] fabio333: didn't fix it, same error, device doesn't work [01:38] guest 69794: 30% but I'm on wifi (cable internet) with 8 other computers (family vacation) [01:38] bigtom yeah, that might take a while. [01:38] gamer there is an option in the encryption portion of the setup to wipe the drive with random data (i assume from /dev/urandom) before formatting [01:39] Would Xorg.log.0.log be latest, or would Xorg.log.5.log be the latest log file created? [01:39] ok [01:39] xiven: What does ls tell you? [01:39] thanks [01:39] it should have some sort of timestamp? [01:39] lol..I always use dir..sorry [01:39] I'll check [01:39] i just do a 3 pass before i reinstall (dcfldd if=/dev/(zero,urandom,zero) of=/dev/(mydrives)) [01:39] ls -c btw [01:40] server /irc.abject.net [01:40] No wait, wrong argument. sorry. [01:40] only takes an hour or two if i do all my drives at once [01:41] xiven: I mean ls -l off course. Sorry about that. [01:41] Yeah, thanks. [01:41] hey peps === haakon__ is now known as _-haakon-_ === _-haakon-_ is now known as haakon87 [01:43] guest69794: still doesnt work [01:44] bigtom, what was your problem again? [01:44] * Ceidru_Gothly got the ssh to work, it didn't like the hostname but the LAN address worked. [01:44] and if i go to preferences then sound it doesnt see any hardware at all [01:44] Wait, bigtom, have you got ALSA installed? [01:44] guest69794: if i go to preferences-->sound it doesnt see any hardware at all :-( [01:44] guest69794 wtf is going on? [01:45] jastor: sorry i am back [01:45] Bigtom, do you have any options you can select in profiles? [01:46] some help please? [01:46] I'm guessing that your system doesn't have the drivers to run your speaker, and that the drivers are in the package you are downloading [01:46] hi, how do i find the size of a device? [01:46] dbook84: What do you need help with? :) [01:46] if i were to get lucid lynx alpha, when its officially released will apt update me to the official release? is it possible to do so or would i be stuck with "alpha" lucid lynx [01:47] After changing a setting in xorg.conf.new, I can go straight to startx, or do I need to call a configure command? [01:47] Blake: You should have the current version when you update. [01:47] haakon87 i'm trying to copy a file to my language-spec folder, i'm the owner but it tells me permission denied [01:47] what command did you run? [01:48] is there a more general chatroom for help with bash and linux utilities? [01:48] downloaded file to home folder and tried to copy/paste to langauge-spec folder [01:48] haakon87: how do i check that? [01:48] haak if that was to me, I didn't run any command. [01:48] Just used nano to edit xorg.conf.new on one line. [01:48] It was to dbook82 [01:48] #bash nzqrc [01:48] I [01:48] thanks emanon [01:48] dbook, you likely don't own the target folder. [01:49] gah, silly java client. I have a possibly retarded question. [01:49] If you want to do it by GUI, press alt+F2 and type in "gksudo nautilus" and do it from there. [01:49] then you'll run it as root and you can do ANYTHING. [01:49] I use ubuntu on multiple systems without a problem, but my mother (living in another state) just had a major Windows meltdown, and I had her install Ubuntu. [01:49] haakon87 how can i change that, i'm the owner, like owner-owner [01:49] I have to go... GL bigtom! [01:49] No, root is the owner. [01:50] You're just one of the lucky people who can become root by sudoing. [01:50] When she attempts to install multiple different packages (I had her try ubuntu-restricted-extras and openssh) she gets an "unable to find package" error. (Been doing phone support with her). [01:50] I don't know how to figure out what is wrong without sshing to the computer, and I can't do that since she can't get openssh-server. [01:50] You really don't want to change it so that you're the owner owner instead of root, but the way to do it is to right click the folder and use the properties tab. [01:50] Guest69794: its done and it still wont work [01:50] Any quick ideas what's wrong? [01:50] That's enough rope to hang yourself with, so be careful. ;) [01:51] guest69794: thanks [01:51] haakon87 lol, tried that but it still wouldn't let me. so gksudo nautilus? [01:51] Yeah. That way, you'll run as the highest owner of the system. [01:51] why doesn't chown work on /dev/sdc2 ? [01:51] hello... having an issue with 9.10. it seems my F row functionality is inverted. Hitting F1 tries to connect to a projector, and hitting +F1 uses the intended function of F1 for a program... is there a way to fix this? [01:51] definitely dont wanna hang myself [01:51] lol [01:51] hello friends hope that my question is not uncomfortable. well i am new to gnu / linux. and right now I have a problem when I explain all isntale ubuntu9.10 coached me quedo bien checkout system to detect the audio and me and the card. but a moment to restart my computer the audio disappeared not because they do not hear the horns and tried to Prodire be okay. please [01:51] anyone wanna help fix a sound card thats not showing up?? [01:51] It will let you do ANYTHING, and it won't give you those friendly warnings. [01:52] bpocock: is your function lock on? [01:52] papo: what kind of computer do you have? my sound wont work either [01:52] haakon87 still not letting me do anything [01:52] umm, i have no idea if it is or hwo to check, just got this laptop yesterday, not used to dells [01:52] What? [01:53] Is nautilus displaying the "You're running in super user mode" warning? [01:53] What kind of sound card is it? [01:53] there doesnt appaer to be a function lock option on it though [01:53] Wait, sorry, that's not on nautilus [01:53] haak well i pressed alt+f2 then typed in gksudo nautilus and it asked for my password and i got nothing [01:53] realtek hd audio [01:53] You typed your password right? [01:53] yeah [01:53] And you use GNOME? [01:53] And thus nautilus as your file manager? [01:54] yes ubuntu 9.10 [01:54] Then after entering your password, nautilus opened up? [01:54] displaying the folder /root? [01:54] no [01:54] did you type your password correctly? [01:54] compiz has a feature to show what apps are running as root. it can append 'root' in the title :) [01:54] which is handy [01:54] as far as i know, it didn't say incorrect password [01:55] It won't, most likely... [01:55] Try to run it again, if there's no prompt, then you've typed the password correctly [01:55] lemme try it again [01:55] It's weird, but true. [01:55] Hello. I'm trying to kill a process with sudo kill pid and killall nameoffile.. all runs successfully but the process is still running [01:55] bigtom21485 I have an Intel Celeron multimedia [01:55] description: Audio device [01:55] product: VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) [01:55] vendor: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[01:55] bus info: pci@0000:80:01.0 [01:56] test [01:56] dbook82: What happens? [01:56] now its not doing anything... you said gksudo nautilus right? [01:56] I have a sneaking suspicion to why it doesn't work. [01:56] bigtom21485 have you looked at your logs [01:56] Could you try open any folder at all? [01:57] yeah [01:57] mat815: how do i do that? [01:57] home folder pops up [01:57] Hello......one of my addon in Thunderbird.....is eating up my CPU up to 99%......any ideas on how I can identify which it is? Like a system monitor but just on Thunderbird........ [01:57] Can you choose, help - about to see what your file manager is called? [01:57] System, Administration, LogFileVeiwer [01:57] on Gnome? [01:58] yes nautilus 2.28.1 [01:58] Copperred: If you dont have too many plugins installed, i would disable them one at a time [01:58] ok and see which is the bugger....ok thanks. [01:58] np [01:58] bigtom21485 you tell me your can help [01:58] And if you try to run just nautilus from the alt+f2 menu, does something happen? [01:58] My mom just installed ubuntu after her windows install died. I run ubuntu on several systems with no issues, but of course she (in another state) has problems. [01:59] no it does not [01:59] or ask someone for help. [01:59] gah [01:59] wrong paste [01:59] hello friends hope that my question is not uncomfortable. well i am new to gnu / linux. and right now I have a problem when I explain all isntale ubuntu9.10 coached me quedo bien checkout system to detect the audio and me and the card. but a moment to restart my computer the audio disappeared not because they do not hear the horns and tried to Prodire be okay. please [01:59] try typing it in a terminal, and see if that works? [01:59] She can't seem to install multiple different packages, which fail with a "can't find package" error. [01:59] papo: no im very frustrated linux is supposed to be easy [01:59] I've had her try openssh-server (so I can ssh and try to figure out what is wrong), ubuntu-restricted-extras (which is what she wants in the first place)... [01:59] This happens whether she uses the Ubuntu Software Center or command-line apt-get. [02:00] who said linux was supposed to be easy? ;) [02:00] Well, it's just a kernel... *starts flamewar* [02:00] :p [02:00] bigtom21485 linux is no different from Windows or Mac, theres a learning curve [02:00] entropius you remind her to update apt-get? [02:00] entropius: you've checked that all the software sources have been selected? [02:00] dbook, how did that go? [02:00] ok it popped up the password prompt i typed it in and now i'm getting a unique-DBus Warning [02:01] In the terminal? [02:01] yes [02:01] i531: I asked her to check. She says multiverse, etc. have been checked. [02:01] Because you can ignore that... ;) [02:01] as in sudo apt-get update? Does that need to be done on a new system? [02:01] does nautilus display /root? [02:01] yep it does [02:01] bigtom21485 I'm really new that I'm a little left not what you mean hope you do not really bother bu [02:01] nautilus hasn't come up [02:01] Hm. I'll have her do that. Never did that on my box. Do the GUI programs not do it automagically? === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [02:01] have her hit the refresh button or issue sudo apt-get update in a terminal entropius [02:02] hm.. type naut and hit tab. [02:02] No wait.. [02:02] Sorry. [02:02] papo: im new too i would ask someone more knowledgable [02:02] Hit Ctrl+C a few times to kill the nautilus first. [02:02] How can one make the ubuntu file browser display thumbnails for png images? [02:02] ok [02:02] And then type naut and hit tab for the autocomplete. [02:02] if there's a slight misspelling it will correct it for you. :) [02:03] ok, done [02:03] did it complete to nautilus? [02:03] yes [02:03] does nautilus launch? [02:03] (When you hit enter off course /pedantry) [02:03] yes [02:03] YES! This is good! [02:04] bigtom21485 good friends will thank you all so [02:04] Close nautilus. [02:04] check [02:04] And hit the up-button to display the last command (nautilus) [02:04] install gentoo [02:05] Does anyone know how to blank the screen from CLI? But come back when mouse moves? [02:05] check [02:05] Now go to the beginning of the line, and add "gksudo " without the quotes [02:05] so that the entire string of text is "gksudo nautilus" without the quotes. [02:05] checkity check [02:06] hit enter, and let's hope. [02:06] bigtom21485 are you using gnome or kde [02:06] If not there's another way to do this, but it involves terminal work. [02:06] INSTALL GENTOO [02:06] mat815 i disabled the slmodem driver and now my sound works so good thing i dont send/recieve faxes [02:06] o.O Eel-CRITICAL yadda yadda yadda failed [02:07] vlad003: Are you refering to kicking off the screen saver from terminal? [02:07] Alright, let's do this the old fashioned way. [02:07] mat815 im using gnome for now until i get kubuntu which looks a little nicer [02:07] -cracks kunckles- [02:07] you fixed the sound, good job [02:07] what you need to know is the full path to the folder your file is in. [02:07] Including the file. [02:07] mat815 how do i get tablet pc functionality? [02:07] Boondoklife: Kind of... When I close my laptop lid, the screen goes blank. There's no screensaver. just blank [02:07] after all it is a tablet pc :-) [02:07] its in the home folder [02:08] type ls ~/ in your terminal [02:08] that will list up all files there. [02:08] See if you can find the file you want to copy. [02:08] vlad003: Can you tell me exactly what you want to do? [02:08] yes its there [02:08] Good, then half our job's already done. [02:08] lol [02:08] Now, find the full path to where you want to copy the file to. [02:09] im looking for a program i just added from Synaptic package manager its called 'eric' can anyone help me, Thanks. [02:09] ok wait one === screaminsemen is now known as i531qooq [02:09] who knows how to force frequency scaling to 100% when im running on battery? [02:09] Boondoklife: Just turn off the screen from command line but have it turn back on when I move my mouse [02:09] if you want you can check your logs by entering 'gnome-system-log' on a terminal [02:10] vlad003: gnome-screensaver-command -a [02:10] ok got it [02:10] what's the full path? [02:11] I will try to ask again.. Why can't I kill a process using "sudo kill processid" or "sudo killall nameofprocess" [02:11] /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs? [02:11] im having an issue with the process gconfd-2 running at a high level and driving my cpu usage to 100 constantly. help [02:11] Boondoklife: Thanks! [02:11] and your file's full path is ~/something? [02:12] vlad003: No worries [02:12] im looking for a program i just added from Synaptic package manager its called 'eric' can anyone help me, Thanks. [02:12] /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs [02:12] CAPcap: Are you using a rather large theme of some kind? [02:12] then you want to try the command (without the quotation marks): "sudo cp ~/ /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/" [02:13] It basically means: "As the root user, copy the file from here to there. [02:13] anyone here do remote kvm management by gui? [02:13] jolaren try "sudo kill -9 processid" [02:13] iAccepted: Is the package name called eric? [02:13] does anyone know if there is a channel specific to ubuntu studio? [02:13] iAccepted: just try to type eric in the terminal. [02:13] virt-manager in ubuntu seems very limited and am wondering about alternatives [02:13] vlad003: i believe so [02:13] [02:13] gbear14275: what issues are you having? [02:14] dbook82: Does it work? [02:14] haakon87, thanks. [02:14] ardchoille, not really. same settings as i always had before. but today i had some issues with my metacity not launching (which i didnt find out until i'd done a bunch of other things trying to get my window borders back). i removed GNOME and then reinstalled it and since then this has been happening. [02:14] it's not installed [02:14] i guess. [02:14] do i need to specify where the file is coming from? [02:14] rastasean: You mean #ubuntustudio? [02:14] mat815: I did.. doesnt stop the process [02:14] Yes. [02:15] That's what ~/ means: [02:15] ok wait one [02:15] It means "In my homefolder"/ [02:15] CAPcap: That could do it. gconfd is the daemon that makes sure your desktop themes work properly [02:15] wgrant: is that a channel? [02:15] why cant i play runescape i download the jave thing [02:15] rastasean: Yes. [02:15] do you got the plug- in for firefox [02:15] mat815: I'm totally out of ideas [02:15] jolaren, try "man kill" for a better explanation [02:15] if that's what browser your using. [02:16] "sudo cp ~/ /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/" Is what you need to use, and you off course have to substitude for the filename... ;) [02:16] huzzah! [02:16] It worked? [02:16] rastasean, I'd like to be able to configure a network bridge through gui... looks like the newer virt-manager packages might have that capability but it seems like ubuntu never updates the package... and I've tried finding ppa's that work but can't seem to get them working. I guess my ideal fix would be if someone could either a) point me at a gui that is better than virt-manager or b) point me ot a ppa that will enable [02:16] [02:16] mat815: I have [02:16] yes it did [02:16] That's good to hear. [02:16] i domt know but yes i runinng fire fox [02:16] arigato gozaimasu [02:16] lol [02:16] I was tearing my hair out... :p [02:16] steven_: then try to get the plug-in for it. [02:16] But you seem to have some problems with gksudo though... Might want to reinstall it. [02:16] now how do i fix the gksudo not working in alt+f2? [02:17] I don't know. [02:17] how do i do that [02:17] I'm sorry dbook82, I'm not a Unix wizard... [02:17] can i find gksudo in synaptic package manager? [02:17] You can just use the terminal. [02:17] It's a lot quicker. [02:17] jolaren, how are you finding the process id [02:17] mat815: ps -a [02:17] ardchoille, anyways even after installing xfce, removing gnome, and reintalling all of the regular ubuntu-desktop I still didnt have my borders back. basically looked harder for some solutions and "determined" that metacity wasnt launching. so i added it to my startup applications manually and now i have my window decorations back (close maximize minimize and title bar etc). [02:18] haakon87: ty. [02:18] you're welcom iAccepted. [02:18] *welcome [02:18] CAPcap: Mine did that until I removed compiz [02:18] ardchoille, but now this is happening [02:18] But yeah, dbook, you should be able to find it in synaptic. [02:18] would that be something like sudo apt-get gksudo? [02:18] iAccepted: how do i get the plug in [02:18] gbear14275: i know there are several different virtual machine managers. have you tried others? [02:18] ardchoille, so if I should shut of compiz? [02:18] steven_: ummm i don't know let me try to find out for you, ok? [02:19] ardchoille, ive never had a problem with it before but ok [02:19] ok [02:19] dbook82: to reinstall it however, just type this line into the terminal [02:19] sudo aptitude reinstall gksu [02:19] steven_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 3rd one down. [02:19] ardchoille, compiz is off, still maxing out my cpu [02:19] Meaning as root, use aptitude to reinstall the package gksu (which is the one that has gksudo in it) [02:20] rastasean: no I was kinda hoping for some recommendations from the crowd [02:20] mat815: logging out and loggin in again everytime really sucks [02:20] hello === sean is now known as Guest8665 [02:21] what is the command for running files as the owner? [02:21] Guest8665: What exactly do you mean? [02:21] Guest8665, you mean as root? sudo [02:21] sudo? [02:21] yes [02:21] You can use sudo to switch users. [02:21] haakon87: how do i do that thing where i talk to you and it shows up red on irc, or am i doing it now? [02:21] but sude something [02:21] not switching users owners [02:21] sudo -u username command [02:21] ok in the process and done [02:21] gbear14275: hypervm [02:22] d something [02:22] veilen dank for your help haakon87 [02:22] iAccepted: If I show up red now, then you just type : something. [02:22] You're welcome dbook. [02:22] haakon [02:22] I was guest 6 thousand something [02:22] haakon87: k so am i doing it? [02:22] you told me that before I just forgot ^-^ [02:22] Yes. [02:22] haakon87: k thanks. [02:22] d something [02:23] steven_: Did you get it to work? [02:23] give in onec sec ok [02:23] btw, am I the only one who hate the --help texts? [02:23] steven_: K. [02:24] sudo d something [02:24] Coming from Windows' cmd prompts, where the /? switch contains useful information, it's annoying that the --help switch only contains reminders for people who already know what they're doing. [02:24] haakon what do you use to run files as an admin [02:24] If any GNU coreutils people are here, hear my plea, expand the --help texts! Please! [02:24] jolaren: kil -KILL pid or kill -9 pid will send a signal to cause an exit that cannot be blocked, if the process is failing in a loop it may not be receiving any signal, what is the process your trying to kill [02:24] haakon87: You probably want to read the man page if you don't know what you're doing. [02:24] haakon87: The usage strings provided by --help tend to just be a reminder. [02:24] No, I'd want the info file... [02:24] ;) [02:25] But yeah, the manpages own. [02:26] i dont know what to do [02:26] ardchoille, I logged out and back in after shutting of compiz. gconfd-2 is no longer running up my cpu. thanks. sux that i cant have compiz on tho. i liked having it a lot. never was a problem before today :( [02:26] but the --help strings should be slightly more informative IMO. [02:26] haakon87: sorry for bothering you so much, but how come i can't find python in my computer, i have it installed in everything because i heard that python was on ubuntu already. [02:26] i dont know what to do [02:26] iAccepted: open a terminal, and type python. [02:26] haakon? [02:26] Yes, guesT? [02:26] *guest. [02:26] steven_: hold on. [02:27] what do you use to use files as an admin? it's like sudo dilimit [02:27] sudo for terminal, and gksudo for gui. [02:27] k [02:27] steven_: did you press download now on the right of the 3rd one down? [02:27] yes [02:27] hakoon87: i did that and it gave me like 4 options. [02:27] then the slef exc. one [02:27] And it's not called admins on GNU/Linux systems, but root. And root can roughly be translated as godmode = on [02:28] iAccepted, could you copypaste the screen? [02:28] Preferably on pastebin. [02:28] Because of antispam measures here. [02:28] somebody know where i can find info to install aion on ubuntu [02:28] haakon87: sure [02:28] ? [02:28] Thanks. [02:28] somebody know where i can find info to install aion on ubuntu ??? [02:28] haakon that's not the one [02:29] Then I don't know what you're looking for. [02:29] Sorry. [02:29] http://pastebin.com/ for pasting text people. :) [02:29] I have 3 questions. What's the best way to get a vnc server to startup with ubuntu? NFS mounts in fstab sometimes don't mount unless I type mount -a. This is not ideal. What's the best way to correct this? I use nvidia drivers. The resolution resets upon reboot. I use nvidia control panel to get things setup correctly. Copy the configuration to my xorg.conf file but it still resets the resolution on reboot. Any ideas why? [02:29] lol you told me one when I was guest 6 thousand something [02:30] haakon87: wait you want the text or sceenshot, if screen shot idk how. [02:30] mat815: the process i'm trying to kill looks like this 2324 pts/1 00:00:23 newcs.x86_64 [02:30] on pastebin [02:31] what's the best and safest way of updating ubuntu daily? [02:31] ubuntu-daily, I mean, the alpha [02:31] guest8665: Are you thinking about "gksudo nautilus"? [02:31] text. [02:32] hello [02:32] iAccepted: I'd prefer the text. [02:32] johndarc: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support. [02:32] haakon87: http://yfrog.com/dyscreenshotmathewmathewp [02:32] haakon87: opps. [02:33] iAccepted: You have launched python successfully. [02:33] That's the interpreted. [02:33] *interpreter. [02:33] What exactly did you want to launch? [02:33] python [02:33] which, in the screenshot you have launched. [02:33] So what exactly is the problem? [02:34] I have a question regarding the soon-to-be released LTS version 'Lucid Lynx'. If I want to separate the Ubuntu OS from my /home directory where I put all my files, what is the minimum hard drive space I should use for / to install into? [02:34] i want to open the program python [02:34] idk where to though. [02:34] You already have that open. [02:34] In the screenshot. [02:34] Aren: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, please. [02:34] the eric4? [02:34] wgrant, thank you for the redirect. [02:34] do you mean an IDE for Python programming? [02:35] Aren, probably 4GB (minimum), I use 30GB though [02:35] yeah. [02:35] default installation is about 2.9GB from the live-cd [02:35] just type eric4 in the terminal. [02:35] off course you need to call exit() to get out of the python interpreter. [02:37] nightrid3r: wow... it support kvm? [02:37] iAccepted: did that work? [02:37] nightrid3r: can't find much on what hypervisors they support... [02:37] yes [02:37] great thanks [02:37] I can't seem to /join #ubuntu+1 to ask my question about Lynx...no error message nor attempt to join that room. What am I doing wrong? [02:38] I am attempting to install fftw-3.2.2 and am getting a lot of NOs on the ./configure and a couple warnings on 124 and 125 that I don't understand. anyone help please http://pastebin.com/G5Bgarbi [02:38] haakon87: wait i got this when i opened eric then tryed to open the python documentation. But what im trying to do is learn python.. [02:38] kocmodpom: Why are you trying to compile it manually? There is a package for it. [02:39] haakon87: http://yfrog.com/juscreenshot1sgp [02:39] i give up [02:39] steven_: wait. [02:39] iAccepted: you lack some docs. Nothing serious. [02:39] steven_: i found out why [02:40] haakon87: so how can i get them back. [02:40] wgrant: I couldn't figure out how to do what you are asking [02:40] ok cool [02:40] kocmodpom: Why do you want fftw 3.2.2? [02:40] Are there any Evolution expert here? [02:40] wgrant: it is necessary for xoopic [02:40] reinstall python or google for the files and put them back in manually seems to be the best options. [02:40] kocmodpom: install the 'libfftw3-dev' package. [02:40] but I'm no python expert. [02:41] If you wanted to learn swi-prolog I might be of more use. :( [02:41] hello, how please recommended webcam software for ubuntu karmic [02:41] iAccepted: Install python-doc. [02:41] ubuntu: Cheese [02:41] steven_: check your message thing. [02:41] thanks wgrant. [02:41] wgrant: ah thanks! I will try that and then the xoopic install again [02:41] and yes, cheese is nice. === badApple is now known as blueghost [02:42] Hi, anyone here? [02:42] nfm: Nobody. [02:42] :( [02:42] wgrant : thanks, installing now [02:42] No, we're all just bots trying to pass the Turing test. [02:42] ubuntu: np [02:43] jolaren: pts/1 does not sound like it is a program itself, it is more like a thread or a connection that may be associated with newcs try 'ps a for a better listing' [02:43] So I saw a random comment on ubuntuforums that it's possible to use rpm in ubuntu [02:43] by using alien, sure. [02:43] wgrant: I am getting an invalid operation error [02:43] mat815: 'pts/1' is the first open virtual terminal -- normally a gnome-terminal instance. [02:43] kocmodpom: What is the exact text of the error message? [02:43] nfm: Not really. Why? [02:43] You can't just install rpm and go? [02:43] No. [02:44] is miro still working in ubuntu? [02:44] I was just curious. :) [02:44] thanks [02:44] You *can* use alien and make rpm into a deb. [02:44] wgrant: kocmodpom@kocmodpom-laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get libfftw3-dev [02:44] E: Invalid operation libfftw3-dev [02:44] But it's not recommended. [02:44] kocmodpom: apt-get install libfftw3-dev [02:44] Ok, thanks. [02:44] wgrant: doh! [02:44] nfm: As haakon87 says, you can use alien to convert an rpm into a deb, but it is strongly discouraged. [02:44] nfm: Installing with rpm directly is a recipe for endless sorrow. [02:45] calculating the sorrow for alien however, is merely np-complete. [02:45] Indeed :( [02:45] @wgrant How much sorrow are talking? What's the worst that could happen? :P [02:46] *we [02:46] You know murphy's law? [02:46] yeah [02:46] Ok, Boxee = Fail! [02:46] You're tempting it nfm, and that's not a good thing. [02:46] lol [02:47] Ok, I'm curiouser now than ever! I'm firing up a live cd and seeing what happens... [02:47] Boxee wouldn't run in windows, I figured, well the OS is crap and nothing works right anyway, but now it doesn't work in my Ubuntu either and nearly everything else works, even windows programs, and boxee still doesn't work. [02:47] But if you really, absolutely must have something, and it's not available as a deb, or as source, then you can use alien. But most likely the package won't install properly and you have to spend some manner of time running around in a massive terminal FUBAR and removeing stuff by hand. [02:47] nfm: In most cases packages will fail to install. In other cases they will overwrite things and make your computer explode. [02:47] Well, not quite, but close. [02:47] I've never had a native program not run in Linux before. Boxee = FAIL [02:47] Not really explode, just force you to have fun with a recovery shell because rpm just got root and decided to add random stuff to things. [02:47] Ubuntu have kernel preemption turned on/ [02:48] ? [02:48] All right, thanks guys (or gals?)! [02:48] *have a painful memory of scheme and poor documentation not mentioning guile...* [02:48] Oh well, I learned from that. [02:49] hello all. i need help making my "Logitech Precision" game pad work in Ubuntu. Any volunteers? [02:50] Mostrar forma romanizada [02:50] hello friends understand that I am new to gnu / linux. ahorira truth and I have a problem with the sound when you install the system recognized me right. but then I stop sounding audio. and that I went back to mount the system thinking it was an update of packages that did. please I hope I can really help [02:50] how do i add a path so that if i type in adb in the terminal, it works [02:50] mat815: None of importance there [02:50] kramer3d: [02:50] What is adb? [02:50] wgrant: oh yea, that was a lot easier, thanks! but I am still getting some NOs and warnings on 116-119 due to dfftw http://pastebin.com/ZVTXnY7e [02:51] anyone know of any ppa's that are keeping pace with the virt-manager package? [02:51] haakon87: its a application i have in a nother folder [02:51] Because if it's just one program in a terminal, it's better to just use alias. [02:51] I can't find one that works [02:51] haakon87: how do i do that [02:51] Mostrar forma romanizada [02:51] hello friends understand that I am new to gnu / linux. ahorira truth and I have a problem with the sound when you install the system recognized me right. but then I stop sounding audio. and that I went back to mount the system thinking it was an update of packages that did. please I hope I can really help [02:51] ours is over a major version behind [02:52] kramer3d: Just open .bashrc, and on the last line, add "alias adb='/'" [02:52] ok thanks [02:52] anyone know how to get rhythmbox to play mp4 acc's from itunes? [02:52] without converting them to mp3? [02:52] haakon87: how come editing the path didnt work [02:52] i did [02:53] PATH = $PATH:\dir\ [02:53] That's WINDOWS syntax. [02:53] :o [02:53] bigtom21485: I'm no pro, but I think all mp4s from itunes are protected and there isn't any way short of burning to disks and then ripping them again [02:53] Anyone know if boxee requires rtorrent? [02:53] But I could be wrong. [02:54] After installing dfftw Why am I still getting some NOs and warnings on 116-119 from dfftw not being found? http://pastebin.com/ZVTXnY7e [02:54] But after you've added the line to .bashrc you'll have to restart your terminal for the changes to take effect. Also, you should always keep a backup of the old .bashrc in case something goes wrong. [02:54] how about someone leak the info from apple and i convert the songs to mp3's without wasting cd-r's? [02:54] |}.l [02:54] Yeah, really... [02:54] kocmodpom: You installed fftw, not dfftw. [02:55] jolaren: pts/#'s are process that do not stand alone, they are not able to be killed, wgarnt said that the pts/1 is a virtual terminal used by gnome and on my box pts/1 is a thread from anjuta [02:55] Oh, looks like that's a header in libfftw. [02:55] wgrant: I thought it was the same? [02:55] as for AAC in rythmbox, have you installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? [02:55] how do i get my tablet pc to work as a tablet in ubuntu? [02:55] and how about my webcam? [02:55] wgrant: at least that is what my google search led me to believe [02:55] kocmodpom: You probably need fftw2. [02:56] Not fftw 3.x. [02:57] Wait, kramer3d, I think I messed up. Sorry for that, I misread your comment about setting the path. [02:57] wgrant, so I should try sudo apt-get install libfftw2-dev ? [02:57] Hi, everybody, I have a problem about shared partition across karmic&lucid. Last night I installed Lucid seperate from Karmic, but I found a partition which I named "/media/disk" could not be shared, in both writing/readin, in between the 2 Ubuntu. Can anybody help me, please? [02:57] haakon87: what? [02:57] kocmodpom: Not sure -- look around in Synaptic. [02:57] * wgrant has to go now. [02:57] I have a question... is there a way to donate to Canonical but with a caveat that the donation be used for a specific cause? [02:57] ok [02:57] thanks [02:58] hello friends understand that I am new to gnu / linux. and truth right now I have a problem with the sound when you install the system recognized me right. but then I stop sounding audio. and that I went back to mount the system thinking it was an update of packages that did. please I hope I can really help [02:58] Anyway, the proper way to do it is here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-set-path-how-do-i-set-path-environment-variable-111204/ [02:58] And you were doing it right. [02:58] Sorry about that. [02:58] Also you have to export it afterwards. [02:58] hello friends understand that I am new to gnu / linux. and truth right now I have a problem with the sound when you install the system recognized me right. but then I stop sounding audio. and that I went back to mount the system thinking it was an update of packages that did. please I hope I can really help [02:59] papo, could you please try to speak english without first going through google-translate? [03:00] hola amigos comprenderán que soy nuevo en gnu/linux. y de verdad ahorita tengo un problema con el sonido cuando instale el sistema me lo reconocio bien. pero de repente dejo de sonar el audio. y eso que volvi a montar el sistema pensando que fue una actualizacion de paquetes que hice. por favor espero que me puedan ayudar de verdad [03:00] hello all. i need help making my "Logitech Precision" game pad work in Ubuntu. Any volunteers? [03:01] haakon87: his english is adequate. He has the same sound problems that plague many people in 9.X.... [03:01] !es | papo [03:01] papo: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:02] Losha: It's painful for me to have to parse his sentences twice, first to English and then to Norwegian. It's probably a lot easier for you who're likely a native English speaker, but for me it's taxing. [03:02] I don't mean to be rude or anything, but it's just a fact of life. [03:04] ok I have installed both fftw-dev & libfftw3-dev and am still getting warnings that ./configure cannot find dfftw and sfftw [03:04] i bought an external hd which i can connect to my router. It runs an SMB server. I try to connect to it with scmblient //192.168.1.3/ but it says password for Password for [WORKGROUP\hoppel]: and waits for me to enter something....i can't remember to have set a workgroup password and i dont know what that is...can anybody tell me where i get that from? === traveller_ is now known as traveller [03:05] hoppel, does the manual talk about a password? [03:05] It might be a standard thingie. [03:05] uh i dont have the manual here...uh i'll try to get information if there is a standard password [03:05] whats a good way to play fullscreen games with compiz? [03:06] i have gnome-do dockbar and it fucks up every full screen game [03:06] uninstall gnome-do dockbar [03:06] I have installed both fftw-dev & libfftw3-dev and am still getting warnings that ./configure cannot find dfftw and sfftw... anyone? [03:06] !ohmy | giacomo_c [03:06] giacomo_c: 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. [03:06] I think he wants to use both, Damo. [03:07] kocmodpom: lpease do not repeat we heard u the first time!!! [03:07] oh woops, my b and the f-bomb [03:07] ubottu, I think you just passed the Turing test. Congrats. :) [03:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:08] Anyway, giacomo_c, have you tried shutting down the dockbar before playing and restarting it afterwards? [03:08] If that works, it's a problem with the dockbar itself. [03:08] i mean, is there a good way to do it? or do i need to close gonme-do everytime i want to play a fullscreen game? [03:08] Damo, sorry I am just frustrated of 2 days of attempts to solve the problem [03:08] Probably not, have you checked the manpages for gnome-do-dockbar? [03:09] If it has a section on it under bugs, then I have bad news for you. [03:09] well, i remember a few years back when compiz was newer and not integrated into ubuntu so much, it would mess up every full screen game [03:09] now, just the bottom of the screen kinda flashes, where the dockbar is [03:09] $1900 - I want to work for Leo geez. He's good to his people. [03:10] Yes, but if it's the dockbar that mess things up now, then the manpage might have something on it under the bugs section. In which case we immediately know that it can't be done. [03:10] Until the magical update that fix the issue appears off course... ;) [03:11] well what im saying is, it's probably something with having a program running that relies on compiz while trying to run a 3d fullscreen game. [03:11] i'll just close gnome-do when i want to play full screen games, that'll work [03:11] giacomo_c: That is improvement in the linux graphics drivers [03:12] what do you mean? from back a few years ago? [03:12] i agree :) [03:13] Personally I'm less than impressed that a simple app can break graphics that easily. [03:13] But then again, that'll get fixed, and at least nobody is trying to hide what doesn't work. [03:13] how long have you been running linux haakon87? [03:14] Since 2007 [03:14] More impressing I think, is that it all happens for free right before your eyes [03:14] yeah, it's so much better than it used to be [03:14] ok new issue, my rhythmboxisn't letting me read or burn cds, am i missing something required? [03:14] soreau: I appreciate the free as in speech more than the beer thingy. [03:15] dbook82, insert an audio cd and mount it, and see what happens. [03:15] Might just be that your system doesn't automount cds. [03:15] how do i mount? [03:15] Open nautilus and click on the cdrom icon. [03:15] haakon87: Direct rendering is hard. [03:15] haakon87: But almost solved now. [03:16] What do you mean almost solved? IIRC, Nvidia replace the bottom 3rd of xorg to get DRM working.æ [03:16] *working. [03:16] hello all. i need help making my "Logitech Precision" game pad work in Ubuntu. Any volunteers? [03:16] ok there is no cd rom icon i can find [03:16] haakon87: The reasonably mature free 3D drivers (for Intel and ATI) have DRI2, which allows redirected direct rendering. [03:16] But if Xorg gets that stuff working properly without Nvidia ra... consensual love to make it work, all the better. [03:16] haakon87: Intel from Karmic, and ATI from Lucid. === darkyy is now known as Darkyyy [03:17] haakon87: Which means that 3D applications run inside Compiz properly, like with NVIDIA, but without replacing the DRI stack. [03:17] its only fun if its consensual, lmao [03:17] Which is a good thing, belive. [03:17] *I believe. [03:17] if its not, then its rape, lol [03:17] what? [03:17] We're not supposed to use bad words, bigtom... >:( [03:17] :p [03:17] fuck [03:17] ass [03:17] bigtom21485: Stop. [03:17] sorry my friend with terrets borrow the computer [03:18] im serious [03:18] i don't think nautilus is even registering a cd rom drive [03:18] the old bartender from boondock saints is my roommate [03:18] browse to /dev [03:18] anyone know under what circumstances the output of df(1) will be out of date? [03:18] is there something there called cdrom or cdrom0 or something like that? [03:19] (I just deleted a bunch of stuff, and the output is wrong -- wondering when it'll become right again) [03:19] yes there is a cdrom under file system [03:19] click on it. [03:19] its empty [03:19] Is the cd you inserted empty? [03:19] adxp: It should never be wrong. How did you delete the stuff? Sure it's not in trash? [03:19] no [03:20] Is it audio? [03:20] its a music cd [03:20] wtf... [03:20] ?? [03:20] Does rythmbox recognize it now? [03:20] no [03:20] what is the magic to installing a .deb file? or getting the .deb file to begin with? [03:20] how to install Canon ip1800 series on ubuntu karmic? [03:20] wgrant: yeah, I rm'd it directly. It's an ext3 fs [03:20] Is there a little eject button next to the cdrom icon?

[03:34] wgrant ok thanks [03:34] iAccepted: OK, that explains it. Installing python2.5-doc might fix it -- python2.6 is the default version in Ubuntu 9.10. [03:35] wgrant: K, ill try that.

[03:36] Hmm [03:36] yea [03:36] Appearantly one of the reasons why startx is failing is because it cannot detct VESA BIOS which looks to have something to do with VirtualBox [03:36] "VBoxVideo(0): VESA BIOS not detected" [03:36] sorry, you said they dont exist no more right? [03:36] hello, i just installed ubuntu 9.10 and it didn't detect well my monitor modes [03:37] Well, the bad news is, that you don't seem to have any cd-rom working... [03:37] you know what would be fantastic? Is if someone could tell me how to figure out if its safe to restart my machine after this message? http://paste.ubuntu.com/395427/ [03:37] I'm sorry, but I don't know how to help you any further. [03:37] >.< [03:37] i was writing let me break it down, if i download a berlyl emerald themes from GNOME-LOOK.ORG how do i get it to work, as i got compiz but it work before with it [03:37] will__, no it still exists, but it's not supported and you should avoid it if possible. [03:37] it is a lg flatron w2243s, and the best resolution is 1280 1024 [03:37] gosh darnit [03:37] After a linux kernel package build with "AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic", the config file will be in debian/linux-image--generic/boot/config--generic. However, if the build didn't complete successfully, is there another copy of config file which will be copied to the location indicated earlier? (I need to double check the resulting CONFIG_* settings that might have caused modules to not be built...) [03:37] how do i get it to detect the other modes [03:38] gbear14275: If it can not read your partition data then I would imagine the system will become unstable even if you do not reboot. [03:38] will__, do you have emerald installed? "sudo apt-get install emerald" [03:38] where can i go for further info? [03:38] well i got compiz, but still managed to use bery emeralds with the 9.04 and they worked, is there a way to make the theme compatable with maybe human looks or a differnt GTK2 [03:38] Boondoklife: how can I check or fix it [03:38] to give you more detail i got an alienware theme installed but want the carbon fiber window borders and maybe a carbon fiber title bar for windows [03:39] wgrant: Thank you so much, i got it to work. [03:39] will__, emerald will replace the gtk theme [03:39] no i dont, however if i install emerald will it interact with my others or crash [03:39] how do i get ubuntu to detect my monitor resolutions ?? [03:39] iAccepted: Excellent. [03:39] will__, if you want to use emerald themes you need to install emerald [03:39] gbear14275: safest way would be with a livecd and fsck the disk [03:39] so i will lose the gtk< alienware and the rest i installed? [03:40] will__, not sure [03:40] wgrant: i hope i will be like you one day cause i barely know anything about ubuntu. [03:40] if its a gtk theme? [03:40] Boondoklife: nothing I can do on the live system right now? [03:40] will__, you could try it and see? [03:41] iAccepted: Well, I've been at it for quite a few years now, but it doesn't take long to get up to speed. [03:41] gbear14275: not unless you are running on a different disc. But I am assuming sda is your system disc. [03:41] Boondoklife: it is :-/ [03:41] how do i get ubuntu to detect my monitor resolutions ?? [03:41] gbear14275: I would just backup anything you are worried about while it is still reading just incase and then just reload with a livecd. [03:42] guille, there should be a tool through the X-server settings program. [03:42] At least the nvidia proprietary drivers have that. [03:42] wgrant: I really wish i new about this sooner. [03:42] gbear14275: but ideally you already have a backup... dont you ;) [03:42] xrandr doesn't list the complete resolution list [03:42] what is a good command for displaying varions system information? [03:42] neighbors: sudo lshw [03:43] thanks [03:43] #geany [03:43] well is there a way to just change the title bar decor, example: when you download a theme it comes with PNG's that are set as they look for the title bar, can you add a different .png to that themes file so they will look different. if so where would i drop that picture.png file? [03:43] does anyone know some irc channel where someone can help with xorg resolution issue [03:44] hi [03:44] how can i install flash player for firefox on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit [03:44] guille have you tried googling your screen? You might get the information that way. [03:44] Boondoklife: i have backups... although I don't have enough room to backup everything :( [03:44] Darkyyy: Are you trying to get it for firefox? [03:44] Darkyyy: enter "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" in a terminal. [03:44] yes [03:45] That's the quickest way. [03:45] yes i have [03:45] k thanks [03:45] will__, i've never dug that deep into themes, hopefully someone else has an answer. But i think emerald will only do the title bar decoration, so perhaps it's what you are looking for. Why not try it and see? although, again emerald should be avoided if possible. [03:45] darkyyy: do what haakon7 said ^^ [03:45] gbear14275: hopefully it is something small like a bad block that caused a minor error that can be fixed. [03:45] haakon87* [03:45] Or you can search it from the software center. [03:45] yea thats what im told and so far im avoiding it, i have to much on this system to afford a graphics crash [03:46] but anyway, thank you for your help, much appreciated [03:46] Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I think I know what the the solution to my problem is but I can't quite figure how to carry it out. The problem is Window corruption with older ATI graphics cards, which is the very last problem in the release notes for Ubuntu 9.10, if anybody can help me with that I would really appreciate it. [03:46] hi [03:46] haakon87, thanks [03:46] hey, whats the unstable-repository for ubuntu 9.10?

[03:48] darkyyy, :) [03:48] (Kutakizukari) [03:48] but thanks [03:49] iAccepted, maybe u can help here how do i install nvidia drivers and activate all the ubuntu effects [03:49] Darkyyy, just go to Administration and choose Hardware. [03:49] anyone no how to use internet dj? [03:50] It should search through and detect that you have an Nvidia card and offer to install proprietary drivers.

[03:56] lwizardl: If you search the software center there should be some programs designed for that there. [03:58] hello [03:58] hello neji.

[04:14] coomand not found brb [04:14] @viscar, try lspci , maybe [04:14] haakon87, So it's either use flash in Wine or just a text editor?

[04:14] @viscar, or also, plug it in and then run $dmesg | tail [04:14] I'd go with Virtualbox and a Windows XP license, myself, but yes. [04:14] viscar, and see iif it's being detected [04:15] And Emacs is slightly more than a mere text editor... It can be used for anything. It'll run the X-Server in the end. [04:15] However, nobody likes flash, so nobody wants to make something for it.. :( [04:16] Off course, eclipse is an option. [04:16] theadmin: linux-image-generic is how the system is offering you new kernels. You could install an older version of it, but if you're really really sure that you never want to get a newer kernel, you can just do: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic. That will mark it as manually installed, so that it doesn't get autoremoved. [04:16] haakon87, yeah, i'm trying to do actual animation with it [04:16] ZykoticK9, Hey so i got this text thing open up. npviewer am i correct so far? [04:16] In which case, do you have a windows xp license? :( [04:17] neji, that's the file you need to edit yes [04:17] so i am typying this after TARGET_ARCH=i386? [04:17] Weak-ass [04:17] Seriously?

[04:18] haakon87: Youtube. [04:18] Flash players you can get native. [04:18] youtube is supporting html5 video now [04:18] But dev-tools? [04:18] yes youtube [04:18] theadmin: sudo apt-get install them, and pastebin the error message [04:18] is solving ./configure issues always this difficult??? http://pastebin.com/nPYcwkFP [04:18] Flash dev tools are mostly from Adobe [04:19] Hey [04:19] Meh, i'm just trying to use it to create a stupid movie of a jungle that plays jungle sounds and a monkey swinging by for sdrecordingstudio.com [04:19] What`s the relation btw Puppy Linux and Islam? [04:19] kocmodpom, it can be - that's why it's recommended you install from the repository and not compile things yourself (sometime it goes smoothly, not ofter) [04:19] alkisg: Hm, it worked. Really akward [04:19] I'll be able to bang that out in flash, or a flash-like program, in a coulple of minutes [04:19] how do i find the directory containing the packages source code?

Today you fix my main issue i had since the start [04:20] FUCKING WANKERS [04:21] are you 12 dude? [04:21] how do i find the directory containing the packages source code? [04:21] debugger, ??

[04:22] THANKS FOR SUCKING BALALALALALALALAALSLS;LASLAS34B56UTHERC4TRYTY [04:22] theadmin: you're welcome [04:22] neji, glad it worked [04:23] Elky, maybe an IP ban should be considered if he jumps back in? [04:23] hey [04:23] Hello. [04:23] can you do a temp-IP ban? [04:23] does "apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrade to the next release? [04:23] hi [04:23] slackester, yes [04:23] haakon87, 2 diff people. [04:23] Na dun. [04:24] slackster: Yes, however, the preffered way is "do-release-upgrade" [04:24] zoidfarb: ok, I just want to upgrade the packages, but also kernel updates, but not the dist [04:24] Yeah, you're right. my mistake,. [04:24] what can I run? [04:24] how do i make myself root? [04:24] well thanks a lot guys =) um is there a way i can save this channel for next time i want to join ? i am using Xchat(completely new to irc chats and such. [04:24] MobiusJedi: What do you want? [04:24] MobiusJedi, why do you need root? [04:24] i need root too [04:24] sudo makes that command run as root. [04:24] give me root on xubuntu please [04:24] oh let me tell you. . . [04:24] it says i need invitation =/ [04:25] sudo bash gives you a root shell. [04:25] my system won't boot up [04:25] haakon87: sudo bash is a fracking bad idea. [04:25] Does anyone know anything about installing packages to other partitions? [04:25] my kernel failed to boot [04:25] wat do [04:25] haakon87: Use "sudo -i", not "sudo bash" as haakon87 said [04:25] so, I'm attempting to edit etc/passwd file (backed up) to remove the user i just added [04:25] "sudo su" [04:25] cuz that was the last thing i did before it stopped booting [04:25] will give you a root prompt [04:25] theadmin: If he wants to have root, then he should be told the truth. I'm a firm believer in "Enough rope to hang yourself with". [04:25] zoidfarb, i'm afraid that's a non-trivial thing to do, it's probably possible - but not worth the effort [04:26] zoidfarb: you can mount another partition in a part of your file system. E.g. you could mount /home in another partition, or /usr or anything else. You don't need to do this on a per-package basis... You could also resize your partition. [04:26] zoidfarb, don't give that direction to people, it isn't supported in the channel [04:26] theadmin: "upgrade-full" is apparently wrong syntax, how can I do similar? [04:26] MobiousJedi: does the recovery shell work? [04:26] haakon87, zoidfarb: Please recommend 'sudo -i', and not 'sudo su' or 'sudo bash' or anything else like that. [04:26] slackster: What exactly would you like to do? [04:27] haakon87, zoidfarb: But avoid recommending anything like that except as a last resort. [04:27] alkisg, my home is already mounted on a different partition [04:27] theadmin: upgrade won't update the kernel. [04:27] Is there a way to view porn on YouTube? [04:27] I want to get all updates [04:27] haakon87: it tried to. . . I tried recovery on each of the 3 kernels i had [04:27] zoidfarb: right, you could do that for other directories as well. [04:27] Is there a way to view porn on YouTube? [04:27] slackster: Are "linux-image-generic" and "linux-headers-generic" packages installed? [04:27] Is there a way to view porn on YouTube?

[04:28] go on PornTube instead [04:28] theadminlet me check [04:28] i'm audi 5000 [04:28] wgrant: I did do that, and I did not mean to recommend that, he asked how he could achieve root. If he wanted a root shell, then sudo bash would be the correct answer. [04:28] I need help installing koala [04:28] haakon87: No, sudo -i is the correct answer. [04:28] 'sudo bash' is never correct. [04:28] Raiddinn, however accurate this is really *NOT* the place to discuss that. [04:29] haakon87: the first mildly successful recovery asked me to do fsck manually, which got as far as loading the startup splash, but every time I just got a mount error for sda1 [04:29] I mostly just wanted to shut him up, sorry [04:29] alkisg, but I've already got stuff in all those other directories, so I don't understand how I would move those === WindPower is now known as WindPowdon [04:29] alisg, without major system breakage [04:29] seriously though, as soon as I hit install my PC freezes when installing koala [04:29] what exactly is so bad about it? [04:30] zoidfarb: one way would be to move them from a live cd. But first, why are you not considering to resize your partition instead? [04:30] aargh, what on earth was the flash package? [04:30] zoidfarb, may i ask, how big is your root partition? [04:30] theadmin: the flash support thingy? [04:30] theadmin: no at least one of those packages is not installed [04:30] ubuntu-restricted-extras have flash, mp3 and so on. [04:30] hi [04:30] slackster: Install those both [04:30] am i unmuted yet [04:30] haakon87: Nah, mp3 is something i don't need [04:30] pwnkiller: Yes. [04:31] alksig, zykotik9, I'm on a little eee netbook, it has two SSD drives, one 4 GB and one 16 GB. I have the 4 GB as my root, and /home as the 16 GB [04:31] but the 4 GB is basically full [04:31] how do i find the directoery containing the package source code [04:31] I bought a 32 GB SD card [04:31] Hey. I'm on Ubuntu and I want to install Windows 7 over it. When I try to install Windows 7 it tells me it can only be installed over NTFS and that my filesystem or whatever is unrecognized [04:31] How do I fix this [04:31] theadmin: linux-image-2.6.28-17-virtual is installed, I want to update to linux-image-2.6.28-18-virtual [04:31] zoidfarb: I don't think you can install anything on a SD card [04:31] and I want to install some non-essential apps on the SD card [04:32] slackster: Oh damn, i thought you have a generic image *facepalm* [04:32] use a win95 or win98 boot disk and Fdisk the partition doug [04:32] theadmin, you can boot/run your whole system from the SD if you want to. I've done it to play with alternate OSes [04:32] Dougdoug4, boot from a LiveCD and use gparted to delete your current install... [04:32] slackster: install "linux-image-virtual" and "linux-headers-virtual" then [04:32] Dougdoug4: If you want to uninstall Ubuntu, just backup your personal files, and delete the partitions. This can be done with the Windows 7 install DVD. [04:32] zoidfarb: o_O [04:32] theadmin: ok thanks [04:32] You don't need a livedisc. [04:32] ZykoticK9, so your saying use my Ubuntu LiveCD, and delete my current Ubuntu installation with gparted [04:32] and ten install windows? [04:32] Dougdoug4, I am pretty sure you can delete the partition from the installer.... Click Advanced and Delete [04:33] or something like that [04:33] zoidfarb: Okay, i'm a noob [04:33] theadmin: after that how do I grade? [04:33] Dougdoug4: Windows7's installation cd have the tools you need on the installation disc,. [04:33] *disc. [04:33] theadmin: over the GUI it's easy.. [04:33] Dougdoug4, against all my instincts, yes that's what i'm recommending to you [04:33] slackster: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [04:33] i just changed my GFX card from an nvidia to an ATI card and i cant get it out of 'low graphics mode' i installed and enabled the ATI driver [04:33] wow ZykoticK9 way to call me an idiot [04:33] zoidfarb: You'd better move the system partition to the 16 Gb SSD. You can copy partitions with gparted (from a live usb stick), but be careful while doing that, do a little reading first. [04:33] Dougdoug4, I have to agree with ZykoticK9 :/ [04:33] Dougdoug4, you went on an Ubuntu forum to ask for help about windows. [04:34] Not to be rude but... He did help you, didn't he? [04:34] I went on an Ubuntu forum? [04:34] show me thE POST [04:34] Channel. [04:34] Sorry, a typo. [04:34] this is an ubuntu forum [04:34] or, well, channel [04:34] alkisg: Correct me if i'm wrong, but how on earth can copying damage the data? [04:34] and I am most certainly not asking for Windows help [04:34] Yes you are. [04:34] i'm on Ubuntu trying to figure out how to make my filesystem NTFS [04:35] i am most certinaly not [04:35] "How do I install windows?" [04:35] @alkisg, so you would suggest throwing "home" on the SD, and put the system partition on the 16 GB SSD? [04:35] Is there any SMS tool for Ubuntu that can both receive and send SMS? [04:35] i'm on Ubuntu trying to figure out how to make my filesystem NTFS [04:35] Is essentially what you're asking. [04:35] i am most certinaly not [04:35] i'm on Ubuntu trying to figure out how to make my filesystem NTFS [04:35] i am most certinaly not [04:35] Dougdoug4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] how do i find a directory containing a packages sourde code? [04:35] Dougdoug4: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-progs && sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/whatever" [04:35] Dougdoug4: why are you spamming? [04:35] theadmin: I didn't say anything like that. I just told him to be careful. For example, he might not be able to boot if he doesn't fix grub... [04:35] He probably just hit Ctrl+v one time too many. [04:35] zoidfarb: yes [04:36] anyone know why I wouldn't even be able to install Koala even 1%? I get a line across my screen with lots of different colors and complete freeze every time I hit install [04:36] sqwertle, do you need a gui tool? [04:36] ??? [04:37] Raiddinn: corrupt disc image? [04:37] Anyway Dougdoug4, you're asking how to make windows overwrite your Ubuntu partitions, this is a Windows problem. Had you asked how to make Ubuntu install over Windows, it would be an Ubuntu problem. [04:37] Raiddinn: A damaged disc [04:37] alkisg, what do I do with my little 4 GB SSD then? [04:37] zoidfarb: make it /home [04:37] Raiddinn: m5sum it or run the media check from the boot menu [04:37] haakon87: Dude. He just wants an NTFS filesystem. NOT windows. [04:37] kalmi: I would prefer one. I was hoping to find something similar to Konversation but for SMS [04:38] theadmin: Nope, here's his original post: "Hey. I'm on Ubuntu and I want to install Windows 7 over it. When I try to install Windows 7 it tells me it can only be installed over NTFS and that my filesystem or whatever is unrecognized" [04:38] theoretically, you can install/run Ubuntu on an NTFS drive, right [04:38] haakon87: Oh. [04:38] haakon87: Guess i wasn't online during zat [04:39] Does anybody know how to, add the 'RenderAccel' option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,after you have created an Xorg configuration file. [04:39] If I run "xset dpms force off" the screen turns back on after <1 sec. If I run it with sudo, it only comes back when I move mouse. Any idea why?

[04:43] anirban: this is the second laptop i've installed on and the other had no problem [04:43] synaptic is a program that installs and keeps track of programs for oyu.

[05:03] Zenker: Hm. It actually seems that you can't recover it. [05:03] i can't seem to install the grub when using ubuntu server but ubuntu desktop installs just fine [05:03] Zenker, if you use xchat - look in ~/.xchat/serlist_.conf [05:04] it wont be there, i guess ill just have 2 hope nobody decides to use zenker, i dont think i have anything 2 worry bout [05:05] Zenker, actually it is there in plain text next to B= for Freenode [05:05] Man that ain't secure [05:06] almoxarife, no i used sudo install [05:08] I'm scared: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YgLd6LCA [05:09] MobiusJedi, is that suppose to be an NTFS partition? [05:09] MobiusJedi: You just don't have fsck for ntfs [05:10] It used to be an NTFS partition, where my windows system used to be [05:10] MobiusJedi, then as theadmin said you just need to install the ntfs tools [05:11] can i do that on live CD? [05:11] MobiusJedi, not sure, but probably [05:11] can anyone tell me what /casper/filesystem.squashfs does [05:13] Raiddinn, you might get some details from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [05:13] Hi [05:14] Raiddinn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squashfs [05:14] MobiusJedi: if you have an ntfs partition, you'd better check it from windows [05:14] thanks [05:14] Anyone using open office? [05:15] !anyone > dm_ [05:15] dm_, please see my private message [05:16] I'm having trouble installing from a tar.gz anyone have a minute to help a linux newbie who has actually read some tutorials =) [05:16] dm_, why are you installing from a tar.gz instead of just installing from the repository? [05:16] kalmi: before I go about doing anything that was linked to, how much of that is for people with no sound, and for people experiencing what I described? [05:17] So far, most looks like it is for people who are not getting sound at all. [05:17] Is it in the repository? [05:17] ALso, I'm sort of looking for something to learn how to install with [05:17] dm_, OpenOffice of course [05:17] dm_: it's preinstalled, actually. You don't see it in your menus? [05:17] dm_, OpenOffice is HUGE i would find something smaller to play with [05:18] Well, I'm on a netbook so I'm running xubuntu [05:18] dm_: what ZykoticK9 just said... [05:18] Spaztic_One, well... dunno:) Try ALSA, that can't hurt. PulseAudio used to have a lot of funny problems. [05:18] !sound [05:18] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:18] ZykoticK9: Huge? Well... bigger then some of stuff, but huge? Meh [05:18] Does the size really matter? [05:18] Is it harder to install from a tarball for a bigger file? [05:19] dm_, it's all up to you [05:19] Spaztic_One: I had good luck with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html [05:19] theadmin, i can't even think of a larger package then OOo [05:19] alkisg: that's just it tho, I used the partition editor to delete ntfs and create ext3 and a swap so i could install linux (windows needed to be installed from scratch if i wanted to use it again anyway) [05:20] Well, I'm trying to "unzip" it through terminal, but it isnt creating a new folder that it is unzipped to. Should I be using the zxf or a different command? [05:20] openoffice is written in Java, right? not C? [05:20] is there xchat screenlet? [05:20] or irc screenlet? [05:20] ZykoticK9: netbeans is 237 MB big. [05:21] dm_: use xvzf and you can watch it unpack... [05:21] theadmin, netbeans - gotta find out what that is ;) [05:21] MobiusJedi: ntfs doesn't have open specs, so the linux driver for it is written using reverse engineering. I wouldn't trust any non-microsoft fsck tools for it (that's why I don't use it on linux systems). [05:21] ZykoticK9: an IDE [05:21] MobiusJedi: what are you trying to do again? [05:22] theadmin, interesting (i'm not a developer, and thus don't feel bad for not knowing it) [05:22] Losha: Thanks, I will try that out [05:22] I have a 1.3g file. Whats the absolute fastest way to share it? Dropbox takes forever. [05:22] losha: lol, make karmic 9.10 boot again without wiping the drive. . . don't have any space left to backup files [05:22] Guest24245: likely an ftp server [05:23] Guest24245: Dropbox is slow :/ Try uploading to somewhere, best idea would be some filehost with ftp (QShare is one of those, for instance) [05:23] MobiusJedi: what does the ntfs partition have to do with karmic being able to boot or not? If you have it in /etc/fstab, just comment it out... [05:23] alkisg: so then, linux can't be trusted to delete NTFS either? [05:23] MobiusJedi: it used to boot? What happened? [05:23] theadmin and qshare is fast and easy? [05:23] MobiusJedi: deleting NTFS is an MBR thing, for which the specs are open. [05:23] So it's safe. [05:23] I will be sharing with someone who isnt too bright computer speaking [05:23] Guest24245, never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes [05:23] interesting. . . [05:24] Guest24245: Fast... quite fast. Easy? Just register, connect to ftp.qshare.com with your name and password trough the menu, and copy the file to "uploads" [05:24] Guest24245: burn it to a dvd and send the dvd... [05:24] in file browser, sda1 properties says it's an ext3, but fsck returned the ntfs error on it [05:24] Guest24245: And as for downloading, it's just a link, there one has to click "Free" and "Download the file" [05:24] losha and kalmi :: I don't have either of the menus described. Kalmi, double clicking on the sound control doesn't bring anything up, and Losha, my sound config panel doesn't have that tab, or one that looks like it. [05:25] thank you theadmin [05:25] karmic booted yesterday. . . last thing I did was add a new user, restarted, wouldn't boot [05:25] Spaztic_One, are you running ubuntu? [05:25] Spaztic_One: that's ok, the menu part is for an earlier distro. Just skip over that part and do the rest... [05:25] yes, 9.1 [05:25] 9.10* [05:25] MobiusJedi: what does `sudo fdisk -l` tell you? [05:25] MobiusJedi: haven't you been working on this all day? [05:26] dm_: I prefer not to PM, so people can follow along. What isn't working? [05:27] Okay, I used that command, and it appears that it has been unpacked, but the folder never appears [05:27] alkisg: says sda1 is HPFS/NTFS [05:27] Losha: you remember well. . . I had a 4ish hour break for band practice tho [05:27] dm_: which folder should it have unpacked into? What happens if you open a terminal and type ls -l (that's all lower case Ls) [05:27] MobiusJedi: and it's supposed to be ext3 and to have karmic in it? [05:28] theadmin the qshare website isnt loading [05:28] yeah, still has all ubuntu's system files [05:28] this isnt a good representation of their speed, sir [05:28] MobiusJedi: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for us? [05:28] Guest24245: Where exactly are you going? it's qshare.com [05:28] theadmin yeah thats where Im going [05:28] MobiusJedi: how would you know that it has the system files? Are you able to mount it? [05:28] oops, meant to do that too: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tR4GgPDF [05:28] been loading for 5 minutes now and I have a really fast connection [05:29] Guest24245: Hm, loads in a few seconds over here usually. [05:29] try it now, if you would [05:29] Guest24245: Maybe a maintenace, damn them [05:29] alkisg: i can read the partition, but can't write [05:29] Losha: When I type that, I see all my folders and files in my home folder. The tarball shows up, but the folder it unpacked into never does [05:29] np [05:29] im uploading to my own ftp [05:29] not too fast though [05:29] MobiusJedi: while mounted, can you post the output of `mount` ? [05:29] Guest24245: Ah indeed, according to DFEOJM it's down [05:29] Ah, got it [05:30] MobiusJedi: so, tell me if I'm right on this: [05:30] dm_: then either you got the unpack command wrong, or you're looking in the wrong place... [05:30] theadmin have any other alternative? [05:30] my ftp is slow as balls too. :< [05:30] Shouldn't it unpack into the "home" folder, or atleast the one the tar file is in? [05:30] Guest24245: There are a few i know, but they have too much ads on them and limit the speed === Guest24245 is now known as aybabtu [05:31] MobiusJedi: you appear to have 3 different disks, only one of which has a linux filesystem on it (/dev/sdb) [05:31] Your linux files are on /dev/sdb1, NOT on /dev/sda1. The reason you can't boot is because you're trying to boot from sda1... [05:31] Right? [05:31] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EwYYU8mn === aybabtu is now known as Guest13742 [05:31] MobiusJedi: on the second pastebin /dev/sda1 is *not* mounted. So you can't be seeing its files. [05:31] wow, i've gotten my head turned around [05:32] alkisg: that's how it looks to me.... [05:32] that makes some sense [05:32] mobius: dont run into anything, ;) [05:32] losha :: Thanks mate, folowing that seems to have solved it all. [05:32] skraps: lol, thanks [05:33] hey kids [05:33] Losha: Shouldn't it unpack into the folder which the tar file is in. If not, can I point it to one specifically? [05:33] Spaztic_One: here's hoping it will stay fixed. Some people have found sound fails again for no apparent reason later on... [05:34] I have an apple keyboard, I want the function keys to be function keys, anyone know how to do that? I want to use Fn+F11 for volume, for instance, instead of Fn+F11 for F11. [05:34] dm_: usually it unpacks into the current folder, but depending on how the filenames are arranged on the tarfile, they might unpack elsewhere. They may even overwrite some of your system files if they were packed incorrectly. That's another reason to 'start small'.... [05:34] ok, now i'm running fsck on the correct part [05:34] I'm trying to find a simple (preferably command line) timer application that can keep track of how much time I spend on what. Ideally, all I'd have to do is type something like "start X" when I start doing X and then "stop" when I'm done. Then I'd have some log that tells me how long I spent working X, Y and Z over some time frame. Any suggestions? [05:35] MobiusJedi: progress at last... [05:35] Hello, I am testing a few distros for ease of use, first tested Mandriva One, as it included prop drivers and plugins on one cd, is there a similar install for ubuntu? [05:35] Losha :: Ah, well, I'll make sure to pester somebody if that happens. [05:35] Spaztic_One: we'll be here.... [05:35] dinosaurvskitten: doesn't sound hard to write. [05:35] MaxHR: Propertiary drivers are downloadable from the System - Admininstration - Hardware Drivers menu [05:35] chrome, yeah I just launched vim, I was just wondering if someone else had done it before me :p [05:35] i know, right? [05:36] dinosaurvskitten: I've seen time tracking apps from time to time, but I think most have a gui. [05:36] MaxHR: As for flash, Java and mp3 codecs... "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" will give em to ya [05:36] hi all, I DESPERATELY need help. I have just installed 9.10 and I cannot get resolution of 1440x900 to work with my Acer x193w and nvidia 9800 gtx+ although this worked under 9.04... [05:37] theadmin: so they aren't included on the disc? (I need all that on the media, as the computer being installed on is on dialup) [05:37] dante123: have you installed the restricted drivers? [05:37] dinosaurvskitten: you could have a very simple one where 'start' is an alias for e.g. 'echo started $\* >> logfile' (I forget the exact syntax). The hard part is you have to always remember to type start and stop... [05:37] does this tell anyone anything? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/0wMYQzrt [05:37] (result of fsck) [05:37] I believe I have encountered this error before...but cant remember how I fixed it previously.....and YES chrome restricted driver is there but max resolution is not [05:37] MaxHR: No, it can't be on the disc cause not everyone needs it... And i've no idea how to put it on one [05:37] dinosaurvskitten: e.g. `time gedit` will tell you how long that needed. [05:38] dante123: try removing the xorg.conf and then run nvidia-settings after restarting X [05:38] theadmin: are there any respins of ubuntu that do this? [05:38] I believe I added lines to the xorg.conf but cant remember and googling gets me a bunch of contradictory stuff [05:38] MobiusJedi: yes, it tells me the filesystem is now fine. You should now be able to do a grub install using it.... [05:38] MobiusJedi: It means you made a hard shutdown/reboot which corrupted the system [05:38] sudo nvidia-settings, and don't merge the config when you save it out [05:38] MaxHR: Linux Mint is one of those [05:38] righton, I will check into that, thx [05:38] MobiusJedi: Seems it got fixed though [05:38] chrome did that once and resolution is worse with only 640 x 480 and 320 something being choices [05:38] MobiusJedi: cat you do: cat /media/disk/etc/fstab ? [05:38] Losha: haha, she could write it to .plan :D [05:38] should I uninstall restricted drivers first [05:39] chrome: ? [05:39] mk... let's see [05:39] Losha: the start/stop thing. [05:39] how do I set my drives to automatically boot when ubuntu starts up? someone told me about fstab but I don't know how to edit it. [05:39] alkisg: no such file or directory [05:40] chrome should i uninstall nvidia restricted driver first...and see if I can get 1440x900 without it first??? [05:40] MobiusJedi: mount the disk first, from the 'places' menu [05:40] dante123: i don't see the point in doing that [05:40] dante123: the hardware obviously works [05:40] dante123: try running nvidia-xconfig [05:40] chrome: yes, any convenient file will do for holding the log, it's just lines of text. We'd add timestamps of course, which I forgot to do... [05:41] alkisg: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5vCLrN2X [05:41] chrome I ran nvidia-xconfig and got this: VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [05:41] Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default [05:41] Screen". [05:41] MobiusJedi: erm, why do you have /proc in it? [05:42] Ah, nm [05:42] I couldn't even guess [05:42] Go ahead and try to boot it [05:42] k, catch ya on the flipside [05:42] schrome shall I do this first: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:42] dante123: Woah, hold that, that file might be important [05:43] dante123, perhaps move the xorg.conf rather then delete, then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig", then run "gksuo nvidia-settings" and it should work [05:43] I did backj it up first [05:43] alkisg: the proc is a 9.X thing. I see it in my 9.10 fstab.... [05:43] dante123: Okay, try then. Hope you know how to get it back if X crashes ;) [05:43] Losha: Hm, wasn't there in 9.04 [05:44] MobiusJedi, why is / ext2? [05:44] theadmin: dunno, must be new in 9.10. Something else to go wrong... [05:44] dinosaurvskitten: http://blog.christopherpitzer.com/2009/timebook-command-line-time-tracking/ [05:44] dinosaurvskitten: looks exactly like what you're after [05:44] did as you said....now what (nothing happened from what I could see) [05:44] dante123: I got that too, when I ran it the first time. [05:44] dante123, did you restart nvidia-settings? [05:45] will eye candy work in gnome [05:45] Losha: Have that too so i guess everything's fine [05:45] tato_42: Just turn on compiz and enjoy [05:45] will someone help me with the make command? [05:45] i ran sudo nvidia-xconfig like u said and then gksudo nvidia-settings [05:45] thanks [05:45] now what [05:45] MobiusJedi: did you do a grub install before rebooting? [05:46] dante123, and do you have the resolution that you want? [05:46] no [05:46] Where would I find details about why my machine hangs when I shut it down? [05:46] theadmin: yeah, it's just for the proc filesystem... [05:46] thanks [05:46] dante123, no idea then, but with my step you should now be able to save to xorg from nvidia-settings without error [05:46] Losha: what on earth is it [05:46] 1360x768 is max yet this acer x193w will do 1440x900....had it doing before fresh install of 9.10 [05:47] theadmin: the proc interface? [05:47] Losha: Doesn't tell me much :D [05:47] I believe that originally under 9.04 I had to put sync or refresh parameters in xorg.conf as well as some modeline comment [05:47] but I just cant remember.....darn [05:48] theadmin: it's been around for a while, it's an interface to the kernel, rigged up to look like a filesystem. Do an ls in /proc and poke around (don't write anything there though).... [05:48] ZykoticK9 do I need to logout or restart for any of the commands you gave me [05:48] dante123, no - that just fixes xorg for nvidia-settings really [05:49] dante123: no backup then? [05:49] Is there a way to increase the area in which you can grab a window to stretch it? It is currently a single pixel wide which is a pain to try and grab. [05:49] Losha: That's uber-complicated for me :/ Not much with Linux, around 1.5 years [05:49] anybody here use TurnKey Linux appliances? [05:49] Spaztic_One, alt+middle_mouse_button and click drag anywhere in window [05:49] theadmin: it's pretty advanced usage, don't mess around in there.... [05:50] okay, i ran sudo nvidia-settings then saved the configuration file....now I think I have to edit it and add mode or modeline comment...this might be starting to come back to me. [05:51] dante123, well i can't personally help with those settings so best of luck [05:51] drat. . . same error I've been getting. failure to mount filesystem [05:51] MobiusJedi, is your root partition really ext2? [05:51] MobiusJedi: I think you missed a step. You need to do a grub (re)install.... [05:51] let you know in a minute if it works...thanks for help anyway....i MIGHT be back [05:52] ZykoticK9: yes [05:52] MobiusJedi, k just checking [05:52] Losha: yeah, i was gonna ask what to do exactly [05:52] MobiusJedi: what release is it again. 9.10? [05:52] yes [05:53] ZykoticK9: ext2 isn't ideal, but it shouldn't matter for these purposes.... [05:53] ZykoticK9: I was about to say "that only stretches the bottom part, and its not anywhere, it only works when close to the bottom" when I realized that "hmm, only close to the bottom... maybe the side will make that side move: lo and behold, it does. Thanks mate. [05:53] MobiusJedi: that means you have grub2. Wait a second... [05:53] !grub2 [05:53] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:53] HELP! mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdb: Device or resource busy [05:53] Spaztic_One, :) [05:53] its not mounted (checking df -kh) [05:54] chrome, timebook looks pretty neat, thanks! [05:55] chrome, I ended up using "/usr/bin/time -f "%e $@" -o time_log -a read" for now :) [05:55] MobiusJedi: you need to go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 and follow section 7: Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD, except when they use /dev/sda1, you use /dev/sdb1 [05:57] hey if i type into terminal make what should followit [05:57] mk [05:57] pwnkiller, installing sourcecode? [05:57] make + what im tying to install a program frm a tar file [05:58] pwnkiller, 1) ./configure 2) make 3) sudo make install [05:58] pwnkiller: Depends on the program. Read the included README [05:58] just make? [05:58] i get an error msg [05:58] pwnkiller: the *exact* text of the error msg? [05:59] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop [05:59] ...lol... I just did "cat ~/somefile | less" instead of "less ~/somefile"... I'm getting crazy with the console already [05:59] pwnkiller: Did you do "./configure"? [05:59] yes [05:59] pwnkiller: Was it successful? [05:59] hi there [05:59] yes [05:59] I need to uninstall virtualbox, wich I installed from the deb package [05:59] anyone can help me? [06:00] pwnkiller: unlikely, since it didn't produce a makefile. Run configure again and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [06:00] Marine, do you get multiple entries with "dpkg -l | grep virtualbox" [06:00] Marioux: Sure, just sudo apt-get remove virtualbox... or was it VirtualBox... [06:01] (libxul-unstable mozilla-plugin) were not met: [06:01] No package 'libxul-unstable' found [06:01] No package 'mozilla-plugin' found [06:01] theadmin: I tried that... no result at all [06:01] theadmin, more likely virtualbox-3.1 [06:01] pwnkiller: I can't tell from just those lines if those are fatal errors, or just advisory warnings, but since you didn't get a makefile, I assume the former.... [06:02] pwnkiller: are you trying to build mozilla? [06:02] ZykoticK9: no result at all with that command [06:02] k i'll paste to the link above [06:02] no brb [06:02] Marioux, then you didn't install with a DEB file i believe [06:02] hello [06:02] I'm confused on this step: Now you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file to fit your system [06:02] im newbie on using ubuntu [06:03] ZykoticK9: I've downloaded the .deb package from the sun virtualbox web page [06:03] pwnkiller: fine, I'll just sit here and try and guess which program you're trying to build.... [06:03] MobiusJedi: there's nothing you need to configure in there, just skip over that step... [06:03] kk [06:04] Marioux, "apt-cache policy virtualbox-3.1" does it show as installed? [06:04] may i ask u something? [06:04] !ask | jera_mee [06:04] jera_mee: 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. :-) [06:04] nop [06:05] ZykoticK9: no result at all [06:05] but I'm seeing virtualbox running right now [06:05] :-S [06:05] Marioux, did you recently download this deb? do you still have the DEB file? [06:06] Losha: is this a problem? sed: warning: failed to get security context of /tmp/filek7Y6V6: No data availablesed: warning: failed to get security context of /tmp/fileGC2zvW: No data availableUpdating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done [06:06] k pasted http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/x4YhTRQa [06:06] labyrinth1965: ok, you're here. You can ask any Ubuntu question here and hopefully someone will help you with it. [06:06] ZykoticK9: yes I do... its a .run archive [06:06] sorry [06:06] MobiusJedi: /boot/grub/menu.lst belongs to grub1, not grub2. Which livecd did you boot? [06:06] Marine, that's not a deb! [06:06] anyone know how to use my integrated camera so i can take picture with it? [06:07] intergrated cam use cheese [06:07] ZykoticK9: I know... I thought it was a deb package but it's a run [06:07] 8.10, cuz that's what I have. . . are you telling me i have to track down a blank cd? [06:07] Marioux, then apt is totally unaware of the install! you need to ask in #vbox how to uninstall then. [06:07] Hi somebody help me [06:07] ZykoticK9: ok thank you very much [06:07] Marioux, in future - use DEBs [06:07] I'm new in the ubuntu OS [06:07] UbNubs unite! [06:07] ZykoticK9: sure thanks again [06:08] I want to put MP3 music from my sansa player in Rhythmbox is there a way to do this. [06:08] ok pasted http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/x4YhTRQa [06:08] hi kevin [06:08] pwnkiller: see this line "error: Package requirements (libxul-unstable mozilla-plugin) were not met" -- that's a fatal error, which is why you didn't get a makefile. You need to fix that before you can proceed... [06:08] labyrinth1965: with the sansa plugged in, it should show in the sidebar in rhythmbox. click on it and you should be able to drag songs from the sansa to your library [06:09] how/ [06:09] ? [06:09] hi jera I need your help [06:09] got it working, I had to copy some lines from my other computer that has the same monitor with 9.10......here is my xorg.conf in case u r curious [06:09] hang on for pastebin [06:09] maco: May I pm you? [06:09] Losha: i can't make it work with 8.10 CD? [06:10] i need to install a lexmarz z647 printer [06:10] dante123, nice job - well done! be sure to keep a copy of it! [06:10] with ubuntu 9.10 [06:10] will do thanks for help...... [06:10] MobiusJedi: no, I'm telling you that grub changed between 8.10 and 9.10. You *told* me you were running 9.10. The instructions for 8.10 are *different*. No wonder you haven't made much progress. Which is it? [06:10] theadmin r u there? [06:10] Losha: sorry, I can be slow on the uptake [06:10] does anyone know why lock and move are grayed out on my gnome panel on ubuntu 10.04? (how do I move things?) [06:11] ardchoille: yes [06:11] pwnkiller: since you won't even tell me what program you're trying to build, how am I supposed to help... [06:11] moonshine, i'm sorry [06:11] labyrinth1965: at least, thats how my USB-mass-storage type mp3 players work, and i believe the sansa is also a USB mass storage type player [06:11] http://pastebin.com/x6rb3p6v I don't know which lines make it work....but I also added refresh rates from the spec page for my particular monitor [06:11] thanks for your help [06:12] MobiusJedi: computers kinda need attention to detail ya' know... And I still don't know which version you are running.... [06:12] dante123, it's probably the HorizSync and VertRefresh that are required [06:12] Anyone know a good camera server that I can use to stream images from my webcam constantly to some web page? It should be viewable even on computers that don't run Java .. [06:12] harisund: what do you need that for? lol [06:13] since it is working....should I just leave it or is there anything in there that you think is unecessary or redundant or perhaps not useful from a performance angel [06:13] harisund: NSFW? [06:13] angle I mean ZykoticK9 [06:13] hello [06:13] linagee: eh no .. just for fun. [06:13] linagee: Home monitoring, maybe [06:13] dante123, i'd leave it - looks fine [06:13] hello losha? [06:13] harisund: "home monitoring". is that what it's called now. lol [06:14] thanks nite then...nite all [06:14] I can't find how to make a static IP [06:14] harisund: is it for your home or someone else's? lol [06:14] and I can't find what the disadvabtages are [06:14] I've found it! [06:14] Grow up linagee [06:14] i've got a question about c++ [06:14] * linagee is grown u [06:14] pwnkiller: type apt-cache search libxul and see if something suitable shows up. Same for mozilla-plugin (except there are so many plugins for mozilla, I don't know which it wants. Maybe there's something in the documentation?) [06:14] Losha: live CD I have (using currently) is 8.10. I'm trying to fix 9.10 which won't boot [06:14] up [06:14] in /opt/VirtualBox theres a .sh archive [06:14] uninstall.sh [06:14] so you run cd /opt/VirtualBox [06:14] Marioux, nice [06:15] and the ./uninstall.sh [06:15] :D [06:15] Marioux, i'd imagine you'll need sudo with that command [06:15] help! im having a problem with my samba i uninstall some program after that i got this message "Could not display "network:///"" how to fix this problem [06:15] ZykoticK9: yes, forgot about that [06:15] MobiusJedi: not sure if it'll work, but you need to follow different instructions (fun, isn't it?) Please stand by... [06:15] !grub | MobiusJedi [06:15] MobiusJedi: 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. [06:15] Losha: It's ALL fun! [06:15] labyrinth1965: Did you see someone answer your question? [06:16] MobiusJedi: ok, same rigmarole, only now with grub1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [06:16] well, anyways, my transmission isn't seeding, and someone told me that I should forward a port [06:17] losha can i pm you the readme file? [06:17] I didn't even know what a port was, so I look at some manuals [06:17] MobiusJedi: See the section: The GUI Way: Using the Alternate/Install CD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader [06:17] and it says I need a static IP address? [06:17] keep up the good work guys [06:17] cya later! === kb is now known as Guest37637 [06:17] But I can't even figure out how to create a static IP address...because what I've found doesn't even work [06:18] pwnkiller: I s'pose so. No guarantee I'll be able to make sense of it though. Isn't there a repo version of moonshine you can install? So much less work if you can... [06:18] hello [06:19] sje46, you should right now the name servers in resolv.conf "cat /etc/resolv.conf" to see them, then right click on the network icon in the panel and edit the settings for eth0 if you're using a wired connection, there is an option in there for static somewhere [06:19] s/right/write [06:19] s/now/down [06:19] i've got a question about c++. trying to compile source code and it gets to this line: 'cout << "hello"' and throws an error saying cout is an 'undeclared identifier' [06:20] zykes-, nameserver 192.168.1.1 ...also, I'm on a wireless connection [06:20] ajlsunrise, why is there a quote before cout [06:20] Losha there is no repo, i already tried this [06:20] ajlsunrise, perhaps you should ask in ##c++ [06:21] ZykoticK9, that was supposed to be for you [06:21] ajlsunrise, yeah ask in #c++ [06:21] sje46, that makes things easy then, it's your router [06:21] thanks. couldn't find it in the list [06:22] sje46, can you right click on the network icon on panel and find the settings for your wireless? [06:23] I'm there [06:23] is there any way to control a terminal that I don't have physical access to? (I didn't use screen on this terminal unfortunately) [06:23] losha? [06:23] sje46, see a IPv4 Settings tab? [06:23] ok, i'm tryin it the GUI way! [06:23] yes, ZykoticK9 [06:23] sje46, Method dropdown for Manual [06:23] pwnkiller: patience. The readme doesn't tell me much. I'm reading web pages looking for a way to install moonshine [06:24] Zenker: so how do people use moonshine? [06:24] then I just add an IP address? off the top of my head? [06:24] k [06:24] hi there! I just buyed a conversor usb->ide (allows to plug an IDE harddisk on a usb port). I'm trying to make it work, but when I plug it, it recognizes the device (/dev/sdb) but it didn't recognize any partitions on harddisk. My dmesg is in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NHeaAS1K if someone could take a look, thanks [06:24] Losha idk, im learning right along w pwnkiller :) [06:24] i was helping as well [06:24] I'm there ZykoticK9 [06:24] sje46, it will have to be a 192.168.1.X where X is the machine IP [06:25] sje46, netmask will be 255.255.255.0 - and gateway 192.168.1.1 [06:25] ZykoticK9, so this IP would only apply for my laptop? [06:25] pwnkiller: Zenker: is this it? http://abock.org/moonshine/ [06:25] sje46, yes [06:25] how do I find X? [06:25] sje46, make it up 35 for example [06:25] how to enable my integrated cam? [06:25] yes [06:25] yes [06:26] pwnkiller: where did you get the source code from? [06:26] bugaloo: same problem with me. i think check health of your hdd. [06:26] can i drag more than one at a time from sansa to Rhythmbox...lol [06:26] pwnkiller: Zenker: so can you install it from that site? [06:26] ZykoticK9, two digits, though? [06:26] abhi_nav, my hdd works fine in another machine, usgin a "normal" ide connection [06:26] how do I run wireshark as root? [06:26] 1-254 are valid sje46 [06:26] you can only dl it [06:26] chd, use gksu [06:26] http://abock.org/moonshine/ [06:26] bugaloo: hmmm [06:26] Losha [06:27] you still present? [06:27] Spaztic_One: yes, but a bit busy at the moment... [06:27] Ah, ok. [06:27] alright, ZykoticK9 , did it [06:27] When you have a moment, and are willing to lend assistance, it would be appreciated. [06:28] abhi_nav, did you get success with any hdd? [06:28] sje46, in a terminal try "sudo service networking restart" but it will disconnect you from IRC here!!! [06:28] pwnkiller: Zenker: ok, I've downloaded it and got as far as you did. Let me read some docs... [06:28] bugaloo: yes [06:28] :) k === cowok_setya is now known as ce_biasa [06:29] bugaloo: :P [06:29] hello [06:29] ZykoticK9, what will this do? Also...is this also how I can change the password to the wifi router? [06:29] sje46, if it doesn't work - set the network back to DHCP/automatic [06:29] I know it probably isn't [06:29] Losha from what im gathering it needs moonlight and 2 know where moonlight is [06:29] abhi_nav, how much time for "scanning" the hdd? is it much time? like minutes or seconds? [06:29] bugaloo: no. normal operatios. [06:29] sje46, it will restart your networking and thus switch to your new static settings [06:30] I have a problem regarding enabling microphones in ubuntu [06:30] sje46, password router - dunno depends on your router [06:30] does anyone there to help? [06:30] ok [06:30] abhi_nav, thanks, I'm going to try another hdd [06:30] bugaloo: hmm best of luxk :D [06:30] luck* [06:30] Spaztic_one: what can we help you with? [06:30] !ask | kasun [06:30] kasun: 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. :-) [06:31] is there a way to redirect a /dev/pts/X so it can be controlled elsewhere? [06:31] ZykoticK9, restart: Unknown instance: [06:31] rabelais: screen? [06:31] sje46, are you using karmic? [06:31] lucid_interval: Oh, hello. I am having technical difficulties in regards to sound. I have currently gotten it to where multiple programs can output sound simultaneously, but it appears to have disabled my microphone. [06:31] ZykoticK9, I am indeed [06:32] . [06:32] lucid_interval: screen will do it if I launched it ahead of time, I need something where screen wasn't launched [06:32] sje46, dunno why that didn't work? guess you can try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [06:32] Spaztic_one: did you try the simple things like ensuring recording volume is not muted under 'Capture' in Volume control? [06:33] this is regarding to enabling microphones in ubuntu. I tried to skype in my laptop(hp dv5) but my earphone is not turned on. My webcam is on, but not earphone. Device is recognized and headphone mic is picked correctly. Any help regarding this? [06:33] abhi_nav, another hdd plugged right now... still doesn't work :( [06:33] pwnkiller: Zenker: hmm, doesn't look good. Looks like a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xulrunner-1.9/+bug/273956 [06:34] bugaloo: ???? [06:34] * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. [ OK ] [06:34] is there any bad company 2 channel [06:34] or ea channel [06:34] I didn't lose internet, ZykoticK9 [06:34] bugaloo: you are dual booting? [06:34] Losha ahhh i see, its for an olderversion of firefox i think [06:35] abhi_nav, no [06:35] sje46, it also didn't work. type "ifconfig" is your ip the one you set? [06:35] bugaloo: which company case is that? is it supported in linux? [06:35] Zenker: pwnkiller: the bugs been open since 2008. I think it's a ubuntu packaging error.... [06:35] has anyone experienced a problem with video playback in ubuntu specifically the hue seems to be messed up [06:35] bugaloo: mine is something like amtech (dont rememer exact) but it works [06:36] lucid_interval: Oh, thats bizarre. It apparently got muted. Thank you. Now my current issue is trying to get Teamspeak 3 to recognize my mic while using ubuntu. It also isn't wanting to work with outputting audio either. [06:36] infexion: try using vlc [06:36] Zenker: pwnkiller: libxul-unstable doesn't appear to be available for ubuntu... [06:36] infexion, are you using nvidia? and do you have mplayer installed? [06:36] Losha pwnkiller perhaps thers a better program since the report ahs been unanswerd for so long [06:36] is there a way to know the execution time of a c program in milli-seconds in gcc [06:36] is there any bad company 2 channel [06:36] rabelais: yes, u r right :-( do you want to do this repeatedly, or just this once ? [06:36] abhi_nav: I am using vlc [06:36] as in the game bad company [06:36] infexion: :-( [06:36] abhi_nav, I have no idea, lol [06:36] ZykoticK9, inet addr:192.168.1.7 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 <--I used 192.168.1.64 [06:36] Zukotick9: I am using nvidia [06:36] indus: For channel searches, use the `alis' services bot. Usage information: /msg alis help [06:37] rabelais: I mean, can you do a "setup" - e.g. with ttysnoop (http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/ttysnoop/) and then use that subsequently on future occasions? [06:37] bugaloo: no idea? name of product and company is written on the box [06:37] I am getting a strange blue hue on all my videos unless I go in and change the hue to 0 for each video [06:37] lucid_interval: just once...I have an important matlab process that I lost the display for...but the process is still on, so I just need to get access to the pts, save, and reboot [06:37] which is not a great way of doing things [06:37] Spaztic_one: first I gotta understand what teamspeak3 is :-) [06:37] lucid_interval: it's just a rescue mission [06:37] sje46, there seems to be another problem with your network! that wlan=wlan0 or whatever wasn't a good message. Have you been trying various things to get this to work? [06:37] actually, I can't find the name of company... there is only "usb 2.0 to sata/ide adapter" [06:38] is there a way to know the execution time of a c program in milli-seconds in gcc [06:38] lucid_interval: Are you actually asking, or is that a subtle way of telling me to try and find someone else to help me? >.> [06:38] bugaloo: on the box, in the manual, etc etc somewhere? so that it wll be helpful to find out if it supports linux or no [06:38] t [06:38] abhi_nav, but you see... it detects "anything"... did you see my dmesg paste? [06:38] ZykoticK9, uhhh...nopt that I know of. The only thing I tried was change the port number for transmission [06:38] t [06:38] no [06:38] Losha thank you for helping :) [06:38] Zenker: pwnkiller: Ah. apt-get install xulrunner-1.9-dev gets me past the first error, but now there are new errors. This could go on all night. Did pwnkiller give up? [06:38] bugaloo: give me the link [06:38] abhi_nav, please: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NHeaAS1K [06:38] sje46, i'd go back into the network settings and undo the changes we made if i where you. [06:39] Losha i think he may be awk [06:39] abhi_nav, it seems to detect the hdd... but not the partitions... but i'm not sure about what I should see on dmesg [06:39] Zenker: awk? [06:40] bugaloo: i dont know about dmsg. but tell me if your hdd is listed in /meddia [06:40] abhi_nav, it isn't [06:40] /media [06:40] rabelais: so just this once :-( I guess it isn't easy - there seems to be a complex way using gdb - see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/249703/how-can-a-process-intercept-stdout-and-stderr-of-another-process-on-linux [06:40] ZykoticK9, okay...I deleted it, I guess [06:40] losha away from keyboard, but he isnt [06:40] Spaztic_one: nothing so subtle / complex. just googling for teamspeak3 [06:40] nop here! === cowok_setya is now known as ce_sombong [06:40] Zenker: pwnkiller: Ah. apt-get install xulrunner-1.9-dev gets me past the first error, but now there are new errors. This could go on all night. [06:40] abhi_nav, there are a few "usb" "usb1" usb2 on /media... but everyone is empty [06:40] bugaloo: add yourself to usb group. i dont remember the exact name of the usb group [06:41] i'm here === ce_sombong is now known as ce_jelek [06:41] sje46, you should probably restart your system and verify everything is working correctly (i certainly hope it is) [06:41] bugaloo: that usb, usb1 etc are not partitions of your hdd? [06:41] pwnkiller how about Linuxmediaplayer? [06:41] abhi_nav, they're all empty === ce_jelek is now known as ce_vvvvvvvvvv2 [06:41] lucid_interval: thanks for the point, I'll look around...it's a shame it's not easier to do, I thought retty would be exactly what I was looking for, but it turns out it's only fir i386....sigh === ce_vvvvvvvvvv2 is now known as ce_12456 [06:42] bugaloo: no not empty etc that not needed. what i want is what they are? === ce_12456 is now known as ce_okkkkkkkk [06:42] lucid_interval: Ah, ok. As I'm sure it matters (since it was how I fixed my earlier sound problems), here is the site I got instructions from: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html Also worth noting, I'm using Karmic [06:42] Zenker: pwnkiller: apt-get install libglib2.0-dev gets me past the 2nd error. I now have a makefile! [06:42] abhi_nav, I missed the point [06:42] ZykoticK9, okay, in a little bit. thanks :) [06:43] sje46, :) [06:43] Zenker: pwnkiller: It built! I have no idea what to do with however.... [06:43] bugaloo: if they are the partitions of your that ide-cum-usb hdd then your hdd is detected [06:43] Spaztic_One: still got microphone issues? [06:43] losha rofl, good job :) [06:43] abhi_nav, I know... it seems to detect my hardware, but still can't mount it anywhere [06:43] ZykoticK9, this will change my external IP? [06:44] sje46, no - you can't change your external IP [06:44] bugaloo: manual mount it [06:44] k will try [06:44] * sje46 is confused. I can't? [06:44] abhi_nav, how? there is no /dev/sdb1 or anything like that [06:44] Losha: It was simply muted, but it is being recognized by Ubuntu, however, I am having issues getting other programs (though I have only tried one) to use it [06:45] rabelais: retty seems to be exactly what you need. I also couldn't find an amd64 deb. But the source debs are there - want to compile? [06:45] bugaloo: what about lsusb results? === cpdstudio_ is now known as blueghost [06:46] abhi_nav, Bus 001 Device 009: ID 152d:2338 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge [06:46] lusha so now we just type 'makeinstall' or is ther something else we need with that command? [06:46] bugaloo: no paste the whole result of lsusb [06:46] lucid_interval: you're not going to believe it...but the guys that wrote retty actually used i386 bytecode in their application....*grumbles* [06:46] Losha and lucid_interval :: I just tried recording using the "sound recorder" app. It works there, no problem. I am going to assume something somewhere in TeamSpeak 3 is causing, or find fault somewhere. [06:46] abhi_nav, ok, just a sec [06:47] bugaloo: connect your hdd and check lsusb result and then remove your hdd and then check lsusb result. and be sure that lsusb detects your hdd [06:47] rww, thanks and hi [06:47] rabelais: :-( *amazing* [06:47] abhi_nav, with hdd connected: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qs34Ksga [06:47] Zenker: pwnkiller: ok, that's enough moonlight for me tonight. The rest is up to you guys... [06:48] best is dmesg | tail for more mesasges bugaloo abhi_nav [06:48] thank you losha [06:48] Spaztic_one: I would also agree... the teamspeak 3 support FAQ doesn't have much that is enlightening me... [06:48] Spaztic_One: run alsamixer and make sure you enable mic, mic1 and anything labelled capture... [06:48] Zenker: welcome!

I just pasted my dmesg here [06:49] bugaloo: do what indus is saying [06:49] no ,dont follow me blindly [06:49] Spaztic_one: did you read this: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=faq&cat=client&rate=47#howto_fix_alsa_problems [06:49] abhi_nav, my first paste was my dmesg output [06:50] bugaloo: no not dmesg. its dmesg | tail see indus's last msg [06:50] yeah the end of kernel messages with dmesg | tail [06:50] already did it [06:50] Spaztic_one: under that I saw the following: Telling ALSA your game only needs playback [06:50] Now, to enable your game to play sound you have to tell ALSA that your game will not need to record sound or anything - else ALSA will refuse to give your game the capability to play sounds, since TeamSpeak already has the rights to record, and no two programs should be able to.

[06:54] abhi_nav, 2.6.31-20-generic [06:54] 9.10 [06:54] Spaztic_one: check out mesgs from indus - use ioquake3 to install q3 (http://ioquake3.org) [06:54] bugaloo: no , graphics memory or may be video memory .......like my intel motherboard has 256mb onboard graphics memory [06:54] bugaloo: so where do I check it [06:54] is debian the only linux that can run in my iBook which is a ppc? [06:55] ppc? [06:55] nmvictor: There's a community-supported PPC port of Ubuntu. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [06:55] silv3r_m00n1, hm... not sure... I'd look "lspci" and get the board model [06:55] nmvictor: AFAIK, yes. There used to be YDL - don't know if they still release stuff any more [06:55] abhi_nav: PowerPC. Old Macs, mainly. [06:55] nmvictor: Ubuntu is debian-based and has a pocket-pc release, so i think it will work for you [06:55] rww: hmm [06:55] rww: ppc is also pocket-pc [06:55] theadmin: powerpc, [06:56] theadmin: not when the message talks about iBooks, it isn't :) [06:56] hello. i have ubuntu Karmic, yesterday it did not started stopping looking for mounting hte partiotion with the home directory. at the moment using the laptop through ubuntu 9.04 ona flash card, live verison, can you help me to to find it and mount it again? [06:56] arrrrgh! How to make that stupid "Disable/enable touchpad" button work in Ubuntu? [06:57] http://goo.gl/2SS1 <-- god I miss the good ole days [06:57] ok... abhi_nav, see that... I just found on my syslog file> usbmount[10664]: cannnot execute /lib/udev/vol_id [06:57] any idea what that means? [06:57] wrong channel, sorry [06:57] bugaloo: see if this helps: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/usb-to-ide-broken-harddisk-660660/ [06:57] theadmin: lucid_interval rww , i hope i can have ubuntu or something else in my iBook, debian is let say 4BK, 4 releases before karmic in terms of develpment and updates, i think it lucks support so i just dont loke iit [06:57] lucid_interval: I am not currently looking to run TS3 with a game or anything. I am trying to get it to run by itself. [06:58] nmvictor: but I can recommend Debian (and in particular Ubuntu) on the Mac. I recently installed Jaunty-PPC on a powerbook. Install was clean and easy. MOST things work (still having some issues with suspend). [06:58] abhi_nav, it seems to be a bit more detailed than dmesg output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mPK4z6ir [06:58] bugaloo: see me lst msg [06:58] Back again and I still have found nothing useful about this video hue bug [06:59] does anyone know anything about it? [06:59] lucid_interval: thanks but i'll try ubuntu, debian just sucks!! [06:59] nmvictor debian lacks support *horror* :-) Ubuntu works decently on PowerPC. For some things (e.g. suspend, fiddling with keyboard mapping) you can look at the community documentation [06:59] abhi_nav, reading [07:00] i installed karmic koala today on intel board (45gccr) but display works only for 800x600. TIA [07:00] bugaloo: hmm i found more pages [07:00] bugaloo: it says that may be partition table is damaged [07:00] http://goo.gl/enQ2 [07:00] yah wrong channel i know [07:00] almoxarife: Stop spamming will you [07:01] nmvictor: Debian (raw) may be beginner-unfriendly, or a bit conservative in terms of updates or a bit minimalist in terms of installer. but the core of debian is exactly the same as the core of ubuntu [07:01] abhi_nav, but as I said... the hdd works fine with a ide connection on my desktop computer [07:01] I'm trying to use it on my laptop [07:01] bugaloo: hmm [07:01] abhi_nav, the first link you gave me... the guy didn't get a solution, right? [07:01] lucid_interval: i was even looking into how to install System rescue cd, Gentoos dist, if it meant having something [07:01] bugaloo: check hdd: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [07:01] nmvictor: check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [07:02] recom: Go to System -> administration -> hardware drivers. Is there anything on the list? [07:04] What on earth was this just now: "(10:00:53 AM) mode (+oooo FloodBot3 FloodBot1 FloodBot1 FloodBot4) by ChanServ" What kinda mode is that? [07:04] That is it setting ops to multiple users simultaneously. [07:04] :D [07:04] abhi_nav, I just installed the testdisk... it doesn't even detect the hdd on usb [07:04] Spaztic_One: Ah... [07:04] i have intel board w/82945g and cant find driver to change resolution [07:04] bugaloo, works in windows? [07:05] bugaloo: hmm them most probaly some setting with your that ide to usb case is wrong [07:05] indus, I have no windows on my laptop [07:05] theadmin: Yeah. I don't know what it keeps doing with this plus and minus j though. [07:05] i have ony karmic [07:05] bugaloo: check all connection and/or settins on and/or inside that case [07:05] bugaloo, hmm i read in an above comment , this HDD WORKS in ide [07:05] Spaztic_One: lol yeah but it does that too often, used to it already [07:05] indus, in another computer [07:06] bugaloo, maybe hardware problem with usb headers? [07:06] indus, I though so, but dmesg detects the hdd, and all other devices works fine, like pendrives or something :( [07:06] theadmin: YEah, I just dunno what the j parameter is. O is ops, v is voice m is mute (channel) but no idea what j is [07:07] I didn't want to do that, but I have a free partition here, maybe I should install windows xp do try it only to see if it works :( [07:07] bugaloo,yeah did you try manually mounting it [07:07] Uh oh. Looks like FloodBot2 has gone rogue. [07:07] Spaztic_One: And what is "5:10"? [07:07] Spaztic_One: Apart from equivalent of 0.5 === jono is now known as Guest70636 [07:07] indus, I can't mount it mannually because there is no device like /dev/sdb1 or anything like that [07:07] Spaztic_One: -J means join limit. 5:10 drive a calculation that sets the join limit [07:07] bugaloo, ok try this, power it off, then restart pc, then after bootup [07:07] theadmin: Yea, again, no idea. I'd say a time, but its way off, as far as I can tell. [07:07] bugaloo, power on etc [07:08] Spaztic_One, where you trying to get Q3 sound working? [07:08] i installed karmic koala today on intel board (945gccr) but display works only for 800x600. Any ideas ?TIA [07:08] I'll try it on another laptop using windows vista [07:09] ZykoticK9: Not that I know of. I'm having input and output issues with TeamSpeak3. I don't know what Q3 is. [07:09] let you guys to know the results in a few minutes [07:09] bugaloo: ok i am leaving. best of luck. bye. bye indus [07:09] yawn morning [07:09] Spaztic_One, i just saw people talking about ioquake and using the quake3 sound fix. if you're aren't talking about Quake3 (Q3) then nevermind ;) [07:10] ZykoticK9: Ah, ok. Thanks anyways then. =) [07:11] stupid user question: I'm told NFS is insecure (in that any machine can mount a server which is listening) - I'm reading about fstab and "sec=krb5p" mode at the moment - does that imply that the server can manage things (via Kerberos) much in the same way you'd manage ssh allowed certificates? [07:11] Is it possible to install Steam and all the associated games in 9.10? [07:12] any tutorials / ubuntu specific background info you'd all recommend [07:12] recom: I am researching, trying to find drivers for you, and currently Intel's site is being quite circular. [07:12] indus, maybe it's an ubuntu problem :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usbmount/+bug/478487 [07:12] Is it suggested to encrypt the /home folder and or do BSD Jails work in a like manner? [07:12] hmm not all games but a select few [07:12] amit1_: Yes, use WINE (see winehq.org) but i can't gurantee the normal work [07:12] CloCkWeRX, no idea about the Kerberos part - but NFS can be configured to only share to specific IPs or IP ranges [07:12] bugaloo, yes adding the line usb_device sometims works [07:12] bugaloo, tried that? [07:12] bugaloo, in modules [07:13] i compile some drivers but no work [07:13] indus, I didn't [07:13] ping [07:13] lol [07:13] amit1_: hl2, for instance, works sweeet, portal doesn't work at all === exn is now known as vizzord [07:13] Vigo, encrypted file systems have nothing in common to BSD jails - they are totally different things [07:13] bugaloo, wait 1 sec let me ssee [07:13] indus, I have usb_storage module on "lsmod" [07:13] ok [07:13] bugaloo, ah you have? [07:13] ZykoticK9: Thank you. [07:14] yes [07:14] just checked it [07:14] bugaloo, hmm insmod usb_storage [07:14] theadmin: so steam games like counterstrike source, insurgency mod etc work as well? [07:14] usb_storage is already loaded [07:14] bugaloo, did you try powercycling [07:14] Vigo, personally unless you do work for the CIA i wouldn't use encryption, but that's just me [07:14] bugaloo, turn off the device, reboot, then turn it on when it boots to ubuntu [07:14] amit1_: check appdb.winehq.org for details [07:15] indus, I'm trying in another laptop right now [07:15] using ubuntu 9.10 also [07:15] same problem [07:15] recom: A silly question, but, have you updated your system since you installed Karmic? It can be done here "System -> Administration -> Update Manager" If you have not. [07:15] I keep getting wireless signals from weird places, but i have NO WIRELESS ADAPTER attached... lol what the heck [07:15] bugaloo, i suggest try this on a friends windows machine [07:15] ZykoticK9: I usually wipe the system every month and start over, no data is online that I do not want online, no CIA, but,,,,,, [07:16] #surabaya [07:16] indus, going to do that right now :) [07:16] bugaloo, maybe some buggy HDD [07:16] theadmin: Your computer is just that amazing. [07:16] bugaloo, yes right now ! [07:16] theadmin: =D [07:16] point taken. [07:16] hey what should be in the "/etc/modprobe.d/options" so that my uvc webcam works? [07:16] bugaloo, is your nick an animal name? [07:16] like big baloo [07:16] Is there musca window manager in repos somewhere? [07:17] indus, lol... no... it's a character in a child tv show, I think [07:17] Spaztic_One: the system is up to date [07:17] ok [07:17] lol [07:17] but I'm not sure why the character uses it :D [07:17] Spaztic_One: :D [07:17] Spaztic_One: In fact i download restrited [07:18] i did this --> sudo modprobe uvcvideo and got this --> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/options, it will be ignored in a future release. the conf file is blank. maybe thats why the cam doesnt work [07:18] Spaztic_One: In fact i download restrited repositories and no luck [07:18] itheos: try "sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/options /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf" [07:18] itheos: its unrelated [07:18] ??

[07:19] Spaztic_One: xorg.conf was blank [07:19] itheos: that there are config files that need to be renamed in future versions is all its saying. that does *not* affect the command you are doing now, it simply was a good context for it to give the warning. when you upgrade to the next version of ubuntu is when that change will be necessary, and the upgrade will do it for you anyway [07:20] itheos: Strange %) [07:20] When i run X11 from CLI it says its not installed, yet im on Ubuntu Desktop [07:20] and Synaptic says its installed, anyone got any ideas?

[07:27] ortsvorsteher: I would just like to mention that online documentation did not help me when I was trying to get my wireless to work. I ended up just having to move my tower to a hard connection where the update managed to get whatever was needed. It started working as soon as it got all of the needed updates. [07:28] see I followed http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/159161-solved-wireless-ubuntu-9-10-lenovo-laptop.html it addresses similar issue.. cause i knew its related to my broadcom wireless device.. [07:28] anyone help me?

I honestly have no idea why. [07:29] yes... did you look at the terminal display i pasted on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/58P5BjyB [07:29] rww, no do I need to make it first? [07:29] Kutakizukari: either make it first, or use mkdir -p ~/Sites/contrib/ [07:30] Kutakizukari: (-p means "make Parent directories as needed") [07:30] rww, what does the -p stand for? [07:30] ortsvorsteher: nope. Seems like the driver is not getting loaded.. cause it does show in my system > administration > hardware drivers.. but its not activated and nothing happens even if i click on activate [07:30] root/sudo... thats the sudo command correct? [07:30] pwnkiller, it seems to me you're using a user "eric" [07:30] rww, thank you [07:30] whats the easiest way to mount a cd image, that img being ubuntu because i cant access it as a cd from the package manager as i install it via USB [07:30] pwnkiller, ok... try "sudo make" instead "make" [07:30] ubottu: iso | sine` [07:30] sine`: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[08:09] progesterone: Ubuntu *is* a distribution. What exactly do you mean? [08:10] Progrestone: http://www.ubuntu.com. [08:10] 'nuf said. [08:11] Hi! I added a bunch of CONFIG_* that I thought was necessary for Xen DomU support in Ubuntu linux-image kernel package in debian.master/config/i386/config.flavour.generic file. After "debian/rules updateconfigs" and created the .deb package, much of those added CONFIG_* disappeared from the package's config-* file. Are they disappearing because I added it to the wrong flavor config file? Or are they simply not supported by the kernel source from the pa [08:11] ckage? I'm getting "Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel',..." when I launch the kernel as DomU. It seems to me that it is hopeless to try to recompile the Ubuntu kernel package hoping that it will fix the Xen DomU support. Does that sound correct? [08:11] Ubuntu IS a distribution, maybe you mean the version. [08:13] dyek: Mainline kernels do not have dom0 support. You can't enable a feature that isn't there. [08:14] hi guys anyone feel like taking a shot at this ubuntu 9.10 32 bit with an ati mobility hd 5470 ref: http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=310&threadid=128752 [08:14] wgrant: I get Dom0 support in CentOS. I am trying to get DomU support in Ubuntu kernel. Debian kernel does support DomU. [08:15] dyek: Using a horrible, huge, not-terribly-supportable set of patches that are not upstream. [08:15] There is work to get a pvops dom0 in the upstream kernel, but until then you are best to use another distro or Hardy. [08:15] domU support should be fine, though.

I want to make a disk image of the windows xp partition, create a virtual machine in virtual box under ubuntu and use the disk image created from XP as the virtual machine's hard disk. Then I want to delete the XP partition completely. Will this work? [08:17] BlackDalek: Windows can be very picky about hardware. [08:17] BlackDalek: It might work, but it might BSOD or die in other horrible ways. [08:17] That's probably more of a Windows question than an Ubuntu one. [08:18] wgrant, no [08:19] stevecam: Pardon? [08:19] wgrant, the windows installed on your hard drive will run your computers hardware, not the hardware that your emulator has [08:19] does anyone use moonvidea, i need to change the screen resolution setting but i dont know how or if its possible [08:19] stevecam: As I said, it *might* work, but it might not.

[08:19] I have had it go both ways. [08:20] wgrant: Not sure if I understand you. I am using a recent Xen Hypervisor package from gitco.de, which appears to be working. Debian's kernel works as DomU. It appears to me that Ubuntu's kernel is missing DomU support. Ubuntu kernel team discussed the problem here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-February/008716.html, but I tried that CONFIG_M586TSC and CONFIG_M686 aren't the issue. The issue appears to be something else -- probably [08:20] making it difficult to enable DomU support rebuilding Ubuntu's kernel source package. [08:20] wgrant, it wont without heavy modification, and you would have to really know what you are doing as you would have to mess around with a lot of undocumented windows crap [08:21] stevecam: Not necessarily. === horndog_ is now known as horndog [08:21] Hey guys can someone tell me if it's possible to mount the harddrive of one machine from another via the network so that shows up in nautilus?

[08:29] wgrant OerHeks Thanks [08:29] Jon-: if I would have to hazard a ridiculous guess, I'd bet that the applet is misprogrammed and refers to a java package with wrong capitalization of the name, but it works because win32 filesystems are case insensitive. The error, after all, is a "class not found" exception. [08:30] wgrant its a media center, its in the repo's u should check it out, im trying to fig out how 2 change the res to 1366x768 [08:30] Zenker: That would be Moovida. [08:30] #napolimania [08:30] alankila: You've got to be kidding me. Anyway to check this in the open Java console? [08:30] I don't know how to use. [08:30] however, this might be completely wrong because it's probably a .jar, which is a .zip, and all loading in such an archive ought to go through its own implementation of filesystem. But, as I said, it's a ridiculous guess. [08:31] Jon-: don't know., [08:31] wgrant sorry, fat fingers i guess :) [08:32] alankila: I guess I should be in some sort of Java forum not Ubuntu.

That's helpful.. [08:36] or possibly is it a library thing [08:37] alankila: How would I download it? It's just embedded in a page. [08:37] alankila: and Polterge|st Not right now, at night. They can help later. [08:37] I was just curious [08:38] I would like to get my wifi radar button working in sidux because it worked by default on the ubuntu cd and I am guessing it is maybe just a lib or dependency I am missing [08:38] well, the webpage will refer to the applet's jar, so it's therefore possible to download it. If you know what to do. [08:38] most of the same stuff that ubuntu has is in the debian repos rather [08:38] I'm outta here, though. [08:38] hi [08:38] alankila do you mean there is a jar for that ? [08:38] how are you? [08:38] Polterge|st: Please ask in the Sidux channel, since it seems to be a Sidux problem. [08:38] it isn't a sidux problem [08:39] it is a linux problem [08:39] hi [08:39] in any other distro [08:39] don't be snobby plz [08:39] thank you [08:39] Polterge|st: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:39] Polterge|st: It worked fine in Ubuntu => it is not an Ubuntu problem. [08:39] WHAT THE HELL [08:39] IT WORKS. [08:39] Jon-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:39] Jon-: What did you do? [08:39] wgrant your comments are being construed as classic linux snobbery STOP [08:39] It hasn't worked all day, nor three minutes ago.. and now.. the same applet works. [08:39] help or be quiet and let the adults speak [08:39] Polterge|st: We can't effectively support other distributions here. [08:39] I'm not asking you to [08:40] I was asking a general linux question [08:40] Polterge|st: Then go to ##linux. [08:40] You asked for help with solving a Sidux problem. [08:40] and the moment I mention another distro you get on your high horse [08:40] Polterge|st: This channel is for Ubuntu support. You don't have an Ubuntu support question. [08:40] I thought ubuntu was linux for human beings [08:40] funny I guess I was mistaken [08:40] Jon- it says 30-60 wait ... [08:40] Polterge|st: They're fan boys. Get over it. In this case, I am on their side, but the way they bash Microsoft while banning people that say one good thing about Windows is sick. [08:41] Jon-: Stop generalising, thankyou. [08:41] Jon-: I don't bash Microsoft, and Windows discussion in general is off-topic for this channel also, so... [08:41] Whoever it was that asked about listing the users in a channel, you can use the command (assuming you are using an IRC client that supports it) is "/who #" Obviously without the quotes and replacing with the name of the channel. As a note, a channel this large might take a minute or so, possibly locking your computer up for the duration if the command. [08:41] wgrant: I shouldn't be but I have seen it happen so often in the past few days to people. I will rephrase: replace "they" with "some of the ops here" [08:42] Jon-, my point is that what I am using is actual debian ... if anyone should be entitled to be a snob it would be me because my setup is much much much more difficult to setup and not as automated and in that case a bit of respect would be appreciated on their part. I was asking a simple linux question "about" ubuntu because it is a specific thing ubuntu does and I would like to know how it does it [08:42] or which lib [08:42] Jon-: It depends on how inappropriate and off-topic the users were. [08:42] if they cannot answer the question there is no need to disguise ignorance with snobby attitudes === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:42] if you don't know then just don't answer [08:42] simple as that [08:42] Polterge|st: We are not being snobbish. We simply cannot effectively assist with non-Ubuntu problems. [08:42] hi I use alsa and movie player, how can I get a graphica equalizer for gnome? [08:42] ok I will repeat ... it is something ubuntu does [08:42] So you would be much better off asking in a channel that is more appropriate for your problem. [08:42] YES you can help with that [08:42] you can find out how it does it [08:42] that simple [08:43] wgrant: Well, it was basically. microsoft bashing going on, user1 says something pro windows, user1 is told to take it to ubuntu-offtopic, he mentions they are allowing the microsoft bashing, he gets banned. [08:43] Jon-: unending offtopic conversation (like this) is not appropriate for this channel. [08:44] Anyway. [08:44] IRC is fun. [08:44] * Polterge|st raises an eyebrow [08:44] ok whatever [08:44] Especially in the wee hours of the morning. [08:44] I'll find it myself since you don't know this simple thing about your own distro [08:44] lol [08:44] Forgive me, I didn't realise I should keep my mouth shut while I witness more and more OP-abuse in here. [Fine, I'll stop.] [08:44] quite funny though [08:44] Polterge|st: Hotkey handling is the polar opposite of simple.

[08:45] Jon-: if you have a problem with any of the ops, please discuss it in #ubuntu-ops, not here [08:46] I found some ubuntu guides and will look there and solve the problem just like I did with firestarter in sidux the other day, which was related to using a newer kernel than the one in stock ubuntu because of nf_conntrack instead of using ip_conntrack which is a totally diff story [08:47] after which get a life ; [08:47] hi [08:47] hi [08:47] who here?

Night all. === raar is now known as Guest15845 [08:57] I was attempting to compile some winsock code to test and see what my code::blocks comes equipped with out of the box and seem to have run into some problems that shouldn't be there. The code is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/395516/ (there should be nothing wrong with this) and the errors are at http://imagebin.org/88921 . I'm fairly certian I'm missing some files. [08:59] I lost my empathy / evolution notifier icon :( [09:00] sqwertle: *win*sock is for Windows. [09:01] sqwertle: But that's probably not the whole problem here. [09:01] It's not [09:01] There shouldn't be an error with a few things that have errors, that are unrelated to winsock commands [09:01] Right. [09:01] It looks like it's trying to execute it as a shell script. [09:01] wgrant.... then what does nix use? :( [09:02] what web ui could i use for rtorrent? any recommendations ? [09:02] sqwertle: Look around for UNIX socket programming tutorials. [09:03] sqwertle: What if you give the file a proper extension?

SOmehow I messed up my read permissions on one of my folders on my ntfs partion. now it is unreadable in linux and windows 7. The file is still there under folder perssion changes in parent folder when applying to subfolders [09:17] need some help recovering the folder [09:18] ZykoticK9: will that make it show up in nautilus? [09:18] johnny_buffalo: thats a win7 issue [09:18] no [09:18] ZykoticK9: so I can drag and drop files [09:18] i just discovered [09:18] that [09:19] in win7 you can take ownership of files, but i dont think ntfs-3g will alter permissions [09:19] big problem [09:19] damagu, you can use nautilus with nfs/samba shares sure [09:19] ZykoticK9: thatnks. I'll give it a try. Cheers [09:19] is there any chance i can recover this folder? [09:19] i have access to the drive to mount it via ntfs-3g [09:21] johnny_buffalo: i wouldnt go editing anything critical thats on NTFS [09:21] johnny_buffalo, this really is a question best asked in ##windows [09:22] aanyone else ever run into this problem? [09:23] i tried to assign myself a random ipv6 address using "ifconfig eth0 add addr". then I tried to ping6 that address from the very same machine. but the ping isn't responding. what am I doing wrong?

[09:29] i use remote dekstop [09:29] ddrj, its high bandwidth for the goals accomplished [09:30] airtonix: he did ask a question. then went for the desperate "Does anyone.." [09:31] does anyone [09:31] unregistered, which is why i didn't bother answering since both aspects of the question are incredibly vague [09:32] has anyone wondered about splitting ubuntu int o2 channels [09:33] Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [09:33] umount: only root can unmount UUID=3be5ae01-2929-4606-9852-bd7cde7a0be1 from / [09:33] help [09:35] orion_SuN: are you trying to unmount your root partition?

[09:40] <|_ocke> then later would only boot to video 1/10 times and switch to ttyS0 like 1/10 [09:41] <|_ocke> now it will never boot to video and never switch to ttyS0 === eric__ is now known as eric__007 [09:41] <|_ocke> but i can always use xterm session === eric__007 is now known as pwnkiller [09:41] ...

[09:44] <|_ocke> pwnkiller, karmic is ubuntu 9.10 [09:44] i only have access to discs for ubuntus 5.04 and 7.04 right now. the only one i could start the installation process in was 5 [09:44] pwnkiller: an ubuntu (9.10) release [09:44] ho i dl .tar [09:44] so i'm installing that old thing [09:44] omg...yer gonna make me turn off my nick flash with this moonshine moonshine moonshine....argggg [09:44] <|_ocke> holy crap [09:44] *oh [09:44] but the disc drive is screwed up or something [09:44] <|_ocke> 5.04? [09:44] so i can't install a boot loader [09:44] TommoPuppy: You know that's almost five years old, right? [09:44] <|_ocke> breezy badger? === Mowiiii`Aw is now known as Mowee [09:44] 5.04 was Hoary. [09:44] 5.10 was Breezy. [09:44] <|_ocke> oh [09:44] so i was wondering if i could install it later using another method [09:45] <|_ocke> my first ubuntu distro was breezy [09:45] * wgrant started with good old Warty. [09:45] <|_ocke> well the first one that i ran exclusively [09:45] <|_ocke> and gave up all other OS's for [09:45] yeah I know that wgrant. I'm doing a computer science course at uni and i need to install linux, but since my normal computer is down and my other computer hasn't got enough hard drive space to partition i have no choice but to do a quick temporary fix on the old craptop [09:45] but yeah do i HAVE to install a boot loader during installation? [09:46] or can i do it later? [09:46] TommoPuppy: Have you thought about Wubi? That will let you install Ubuntu into a file on your Windows partition. [09:46] TommoPuppy: you would be very wise to do it during the install [09:46] I can't ikonia [09:46] didn't you hear me? [09:46] !Wubi [09:46] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [09:46] There's a problem with my laptop or my disc [09:47] TommoPuppy: ok - so then you need to get that fixed before installing as a boot loader is essential [09:47] :/ [09:47] !usb > TommoPuppy [09:47] TommoPuppy, please see my private message [09:47] i barely have a flash drive big enough to use ubuntu though. If I were going to do that i'd just get DSL or puppy instead [09:48] <|_ocke> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW9O0U3JyYE [09:48] in fact, i might :/ since my craptop is pretty much doomed to not having a permanent linux install on it [09:48] but seriously, if i try to run the 7.04 disc it doesn't even start the livecd [09:48] it just says "unable to mount" [09:50] okay, so, i've erased the laptop hard drive and isntalled half a linux installation essentially since i can't install a boot loader [09:51] TommoPuppy: Have you tried the Minimal? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:51] try the alt cd [09:52] hmm [09:53] if only this crappy computer were good enough to run a virtual machine [09:53] what should I use for encrypting removable disks? [09:53] LUKS? [09:53] my new computer would be though. maybe i should just install Puppy on a USB drive or something? [09:53] TommoPuppy: that's up to you, we are just here to help with ubuntu issues [09:53] inertial: Yes. System->Administration->Disk Utility can probably help you with that. [09:53] yeah i know i kinda eneded up thinking out loud. sorry [09:54] cześć [09:54] hai:)\ [09:54] i'm gonna go now. Thanks for your help.

[09:54] is there a working photo manager in ubuntu? (no, f-spot is not a working one) [09:54] stfu [09:54] alt cd is also a good plan, the system or version that you trying is no longer supported or something, maybe that is why no-load...just guessing here.

[09:58] Can I install linux from windows without burning a cd/dvd? and install to a proper partition, so I think not using wubi [09:59] isnt it like a milder word for somethin more bad [09:59] indus: what ?

[10:19] Xix, more specifically you want help with opera no? it sounds more like opera related issue [10:19] lao5, when you say "pidgin does not support images" what do you mean ? [10:19] i tried apt-get [10:19] psycho_oreos: no, Chrome actually [10:19] Xix, then I'd search for Chrome [10:19] though I'd be interested in all the browsers [10:19] I did search for Chrome, nada [10:20] Xix, #httpd [10:20] some empty rooms about Chrome OS, or Chromium (not the browser) [10:20] My laptop randomly decides that the screen should stop displaying stuff and instead goes black, even when I am just displaying the console. I think this is some kind of power-management issue, but does anyone have a more precise idea of its cause. Is this a common problem? [10:20] Xix, also, have you tried checking the developer tools in chrome ? [10:20] does someone have a good help page for soundissues except https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [10:21] airtonix: i cannot send images by pidgin. [10:21] airtonix: yes, I'm working with them right now [10:21] the tools say the cache headers are being sent, but the 3.2s delay in fetching the script tells me it's not getting the cached version [10:21] lao5, than what you actually mean is that "pidgin does not support file transfer without configuration" [10:21] !yum [10:21] Uh, don't you mean !apt ? [10:21] no [10:21] It makes me want to throw Windows on it, since at least I know it is certified to run on it (and this is coming from someone who wants to use a *nix derivative). [10:22] pozic, i assume 1) your gfx card is ati 2) the drivers are the binary variety [10:22] airtonix: i dont know how to configure. could you show me? thanks [10:23] lao5, no because unfortunatly i have not been able to work out how to get that part working either. [10:23] airtonix: i want to send images [10:23] lao5, i suggest you use something like dropbox to share files [10:24] does someone have a good help page for soundissues except for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting tried everything there and still no beep [10:24] airtonix: i would try dropbox later. [10:24] lao5, apparently empathy has better luck with filesharing [10:25] WACKLER1, did you look at alsamixer? [10:25] lao5, if you are on statip ip, i would apt-get install lighttpd, then drop images to /var/www, then send a link to the user [10:25] *static ip [10:25] Dan_E you mean like checking if it's on? [10:26] bronto2: this is a good idea [10:26] no to see if anything is muted [10:26] hi, i have many gigs of folders containing mostly mp3, but some contain the occasional txt or jpeg, is there a command that will delete just txt and jpeg from within folders (that is , i wouldnt need to cd to each folder)? [10:26] lao5, or ftp server woul work as well [10:26] yep ... it's not that easy.. [10:26] would* [10:27] I have ubuntu 9.04 I want to insatll warsow 0.5. However, the ubuntu repo has warsow 0.42. How do I install warsow 0.5 ? [10:28] lao5, just out of interest what protocol are you trying to share fiels with ? xmpp or something like msn ? [10:28] madvirus420: you have to request an update of the package from the maintainers on launchpad.net [10:28] Hi, [10:28] ikonia: okay. any other way? a quicker one ? [10:28] bronto2,airtonix: i would mount the image on my webserver. pls wait [10:29] hello [10:29] madvirus420: manually build it and ruin the dependeny tracking on your machine [10:29] Hi, if I connect to a windows share with Places -> Connect to server, is there any way to access that connect via the terminal?

[10:51] hi [10:52] when I run cat /dev/input/mice/by-id/usb-A4tech... and I move my mouse, I see the stream of data there, but it doesn't move the pointer. seems like a gnome/ Xserver bug [10:52] hey guys, i experiencing strange sound lag on ubuntu 9.10 with my X-Fi extreme music [10:52] im wondering why :) [10:53] dgz: are you using pulse? [10:53] dunno what is Pulse [10:53] !pulseaudio [10:53] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [10:53] i just fired Quake Live / Open Arena and the sound lags about a second :( [10:53] Im running Ubuntu, English language. Is there a way to run specitic applications in other languages? I know it's possible to donwload the translation files from launchpad.. but elderly people cannot do this and they don't want the complete system in non-english language. [10:54] aloha ludziki [10:54] ubottu I'll try thta thanks. [10:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:54] the only thing I changed is installing nvidia drivers, everything else is default [10:54] exit [10:56] so, I get it Pulse is not my default sound server, correct? [10:56] how can i make a virtual boot disk using an online bootdisk? [10:57] dgz: you are almost certainly using pulseaudio which is most likely causing the problems [10:58] google for stuff related to pulseaudio and your card [10:58] already did that, that's why i am here. ubuntuforums is completely useless for that kind of stuff [10:59] there is also a mouse lag (not as huge as my sound delay, though) [11:00] which fonts do you guys use on your Ubuntu desktop - moved from Droid fonts to MgOpen Canonica... looking for something new [11:00] peturrrrr: install the apropiate language packages. then launch the programs setting LC_ALL=en_UK or whatever first [11:00] dgz: try turning pulseaudio off and switching to alsa to see if that fixes your sound problems [11:01] erUSUL: Where do i specify LC_ALL=langCode ? [11:01] will do that, thanks Haegin [11:01] peturrrrr: command line or make special launchers [11:01] Yes but there, is it a parameter? [11:01] SandGorgon: I use terminus [11:02] erUSUL: never mind, found it [11:04] Installt pulse still no sound I think the Problem is in the Alsa Modul ... Pulse doe use that too doesn't it? [11:06] Is there a way to reinstall Alsa? [11:10] airstrike: I use nvidia's proprietary drivers, but the same happens with the nv driver. [11:10] DoesN't anybody know a easy way reinstall sound related Modules Drivers etc. ?? [11:10] pozic, what happens [11:11] WACKLER1: sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-utils [11:11] WACKLER1: you should tell the channel your actual problem because reinstalling things rarely solves issues [11:11] No sound... and tried like 5 ways to fix it.... [11:13] hi [11:16] WACKLER1, what ubuntu version, no sound in which application , etc , what sound setup, speakrs or headphones [11:17] another question, is there something like DX's DirectInput? I would really like to get rid of the mouse lag I have. My Razer Salmosa behaves like crap in 9.10 :( [11:19] dgz, are you experimenting mouse lag on desktop or in games under Wine? [11:20] i'm using a MX518 in 9.10 and is running fine [11:21] I'm at a loss with my sound problem.... can I reinstall Ubuntu without loosing my PHC-Kernel all of my W-Lan setups... etc? not realy eh [11:21] ive got a scratched dvd-r - any way to check if it is ok or not (other than copying everything to hd) [11:22] Tag :) [11:22] Wackler1: give more information and we'll probably be able to fix it. This isn't windows - rebooting and/or reinstalling isn't a magic fix. [11:22] Wackler1, you can make a backup of home and/or make a separate home partition [11:22] thrope: nope, image it and compare the md5sum of the image to that of the device would probably work [11:23] need some h elp [11:23] need some elp [11:23] !ask| ecm [11:23] ecm: 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).

[11:24] Haegin: i guess that'll take ages but i'll give it a try... [11:24] raedon [11:24] thanks [11:24] itheos, its your system password [11:25] its not working [11:25] i have already filed a bug about it [11:25] :/ [11:25] stupid naming [11:25] itheos: have you copied your home dir from a previous install? [11:25] if so try your old password [11:25] Haegin I got no sound what so ever... tried like 5 guides now. Still no beep. And the Error started between to boot ups without internetconnection updates or chnages to the system. [11:25] i had ubuntu 9.10 i removed and got win 7 and now i came back to ubuntu as win7 didnt have drivers [11:25] Haegin, no i did not. its my old password [11:25] now all i have is an black wall paper [11:26] ecm, right click on desktop > change wallpaper ? [11:26] ecm: you can set a wallpaper by right clicking on the desktop in Gnome. Try that and let us know if it works [11:26] indus:didnt work [11:26] Wackler1: ok, what sound card are you using and what sound system are you using? [11:26] ecm, your desktop is working? can you see the panels and icons? [11:26] alsa ... onboard intelsound card.. [11:26] ecm: have you tried restarting nautilus as that manages the desktop in gnome? [11:27] Wackler1: ok, what model of intel sound card? [11:27] ecm, press atl - sysrq- k to reset display? [11:27] everything works besides my wall paper [11:27] indus:thats confusing [11:27] ecm, ok [11:27] Haegin one sec looking it up.. [11:27] indus, why do you keep suggesting that ? [11:27] jesusm , only in games, but not in Wine [11:27] indus:wats sysrq? [11:27] airtonix, what do you mean [11:27] ecm, nvm it [11:28] I am a bit picky, though. [11:28] ecm: if the rest of your system is working it's unlikely resetting the display will fix it. [11:28] ecm, its a key on keyboard [11:28] were is it? [11:28] print screen button on keyboard === thrope_ is now known as thrope [11:28] ecm, search near pause key [11:28] ecm, which version of ubuntu are you using [11:28] for future reference it's the print screen key on most keyboards and is used in a series of keybindings that can reset your computer in clever ways that you almost certainly won't need to use most of the time [11:28] 9.10 [11:28] is it possible to convert .deb to .bin? [11:29] itheos, indus because more often than not. there wont be a single sysreq key and holding down the key combos required in other cases is like playing limbo [11:29] airtonix, well, thats not my problem [11:29] airtonix, i just helped him find the key thats all :) [11:29] indus, it is because when providing support you don't offer obscure rarely available options [11:29] zetheroo: bin isn't a packaged format, it's just a binary so the answer would be not without a wrapper of some sort [11:30] airtonix, how is it rarely available [11:30] Haegin: is there a wrapper that can do it? [11:30] all the machines i work with have that key exactly there [11:30] zetheroo: what are you actually trying to do this for? [11:30] hi! can gimp add a rectangle to some part of one picture? i am going to use rectangle to circle some part of the picture. [11:31] lao5: yes [11:31] Haegin: how? thanks [11:31] airtonix, iam not sure what you mean here, obscure ? rarely available ? isnt the process to restart display atl-sysrq-k [11:31] lao5: select the area you want using the rectangle selection tool, border the selection to how thick you want the edge of the rectangle then fill the selection using the paint tool [11:31] Haegin: I am trying to install IBM Lotus Symphony on my 64bit Ubuntu machine ... I downloaded the .deb package and the howto is referring to the .bin one ... [11:32] zetheroo: ok, do you have the 64bit deb? [11:32] hey, i want my webserver to serve a particular folder from my home directory, but it tells me "forbidden" [11:32] zetheroo: if so just run "dpkg -i " as root [11:32] Haegin: no, there is none ... [11:32] nucc1: check the permissions [11:32] Haegin, what permissiosn should i give it? [11:32] indus, despite what your experience is that single key is not on all keyboards... and when it is you have to actually hold all those letters down to acheive the same effect [11:32] zetheroo: if they only offer it in 32bit versions then you'll need a chroot [11:33] indus, *when it isn't [11:33] Haegin: here is the info http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/help.nsf/GeneralFAQ#15 [11:33] nucc1: you need to make sure the user that the web server runs as can read and possibly execute the files so probably chmod g+r -R for a start [11:33] hmm [11:33] airtonix, ok ,what would you advice then? [11:33] Haegin: i am at step 4 ... however its calling for the .bin file [11:33] indus: I get a random black screen for no reason. It is not the screen saver. Even when I am in console mode this happens and even when I am plugged into the grid. [11:33] indus, far easier method is to just tell them to save documents and log out. [11:34] indus: (on a laptop) [11:34] airtonix, well if display hangs? [11:34] indus: if you are going to advise using sysreq keys you need to give more explanation. Resetting the display restarts X which will kill all the open programs possibly losing unsaved work. [11:34] indus: it happens with acpi enabled and distabled. [11:34] nucc1: you may have to ad a apache tag to your vhost.conf... symlinks work pretty well to with the floowsymlink options [11:34] Haegin: sudo -H ./IBM_Lotus_Symphony_linux.bin [11:34] ah yes right Haegin jumped on that one [11:34] disabled* [11:34] Haegin: can I just use the .deb that I have in the place of the .bin? [11:34] my wallpaper isnt working still i tried alt - k -sysrq [11:34] i tried restarting [11:35] zetheroo: and is the deb file the one it tells you to download? [11:35] purple_processor, i have the vhost configured properly, i just think it is something to do with my home folder permissions [11:35] ecm, do you see available wallpapers if you right click on desktop [11:35] i did but none of them work [11:35] Heagin: can't find the command that gave me the card... [11:35] my monitor is 1980x1080 [11:35] Wackler1: try lspci [11:35] its 1080p [11:35] indus, apologies for publicly bringing to your attention. [11:36] ecm: it might be the gconf schemas though it seems unlikely [11:36] I always just use a nice solid color. [11:36] airtonix, oh no not at all , i appreciate it :) [11:36] Haegin: step 4 says to download the ISMP installer .. dunno what that is ... but the command to install is referring to the .bin package/file [11:36] Haegin: can I use the .deb in the place of the .bin? [11:37] nucc1: try making a softlink from web root to /home folder [11:37] zetheroo: what is the deb file you have? is it libxkbfile1_1.0.5-1_i386.deb ? [11:37] indus: anyway, what I really just want is to control the bit which says whether or not my screen should display everything in video memory on full brightness. [11:37] Haegin 3) [11:37] 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [11:37] Haegin: no, I am at step 4 ... I did everything else already [11:37] indus: that should be trivial, but in fact there is no such obvious knob. [11:37] pozic, hi ,sorry but dont know this one, could you please ask again in this channel [11:37] Haegin: the .deb I have is the actual Symphony suite [11:38] purple_processor, says 'forbidden' still [11:38] all that chatter made me miss your question really [11:38] zetheroo: ok, try running sudo dpkg -i [11:38] I want is to control the bit which says whether or not my screen should display everything in video memory on full brightness. [11:38] i get no sound from Totem, but with Audacity it works fine. How can i tell Totem to use the soundcard? [11:38] airtonix, are you an op ? [11:38] Haegin: thanks! a little horrible to me [11:38] Haegin; so I should extract the .deb package ... can i extract it to anywhere? [11:38] indus: learn to use an IRC client if you missed it. [11:38] Haegin: but i dont know where to choose color. [11:39] wow great, thanks [11:39] zetheroo: no, just install it [11:39] indus, no just someone who has been here a while [11:39] purple_processor, what possible permissions can i set on my home folder to allow the webserver access to stuff inside it, without being too permissive? [11:39] lao5: use the paint tool and it'll give you colour swatches. just double click on one to change it. [11:39] Haegin: oh ok ... so it does not make a diff if its .bin or .deb ... ? [11:39] nucc1: try chmod a+rx to see if that works [11:40] Haegin: I just don't want to break my system :) [11:40] I've been trying for a few days now to get a certain USB device to work in ubuntu (hardy heron), but no amount of googling has given me a result. Any ideas on how to make a "NYKO Airflo EX" work within Ubuntu for games played through ZSNES and the like? [11:40] zetheroo: you'd need to install them differently. With a bin you run it, with a deb you use dpkg [11:40] nucc1: just make sure the group who owns it is same as server softawre group, and 770 it [11:40] pozic, good luck getting help with that attitude sucker [11:40] anichols: what is a NYKO Airflo EX? [11:40] Haegin, perfecto! [11:40] nucc1: I would guess you only need read access to apache or all... [11:40] theadmin, ubuntu's default home permissions deny all access into the home directory. [11:41] nucc1: ok, so now it works you need to work out what permissions you need to be secure [11:41] anichols, try with usb-modeswitch, it's a daemon [11:41] Haegin: It's a gamepad, similar in appearance to a PS2 controller, made for PCs, with a fan built into it to keep the hands from getting sweaty. [11:41] I'm guessing you need to set the web user to be in the group that has access to the files and then make them readable to you, the group and others and writeable to you [11:41] Haegin: how do you force clear a terminal window? [11:41] Haegin, i can change the particular folder's owner to www-data, but without the -r flag on my home folder, it cant access at all [11:41] Stargaze: usb-modeswitch? [11:41] zetheroo: clear [11:42] anichols, Synaptic gives a description [11:42] zetheroo: or reset if you have funky characters messing it up [11:42] Haegin: I did "man sudo" before and am stuck at the end of the manual [11:42] nucc1: the -r flag makes it recursive so it effects the contents of the folder again [11:43] zetheroo: press q to quit the man page reader [11:43] Haegin, :) i meant the "read" flag for "all users" [11:43] Haegin: oh thanks ... hehe [11:43] Haegin, i didn't run the chmod with "-r" [11:43] nucc1: Synlinks is the way to do it I think.. thats how I did it once, from memory... [11:43] .. [11:43] purple_processor, I am using virtual hosts, so symlinks don't apply. [11:44] purple_processor, besides, a symlink will still run into permission issues. [11:44] Stargaze: I did a search on Synaptic for 'usb-modeswitch', and there are no packages available by that name...unless I'm completely screwing up how to look up something in the package manager...possible. [11:44] nucc1: ok, that's because the web server runs as a user that doesn't own the file and isn't in the group that is set on the files so falls into the other category [11:44] Haegin: thanks again. i got it.. [11:44] anichols, try searching for modeswitch, or switch [11:44] Haegin, yes. and the home folder allows no access to "other" at all. that's why it was failing. [11:44] lao5: no probs [11:45] ... [11:45] Haegin, so chmoding "o+r" solves the problem. [11:45] nucc1: chown $USER:www-data $HOME && chmod -R 770 $HOME, something like this. [11:45] Stargaze: modeswitch = nothing. switch = 272 packages....*sighs* [11:45] theadmin, :) that is a bit dangerous :) [11:45] nucc1: Yeah kinda [11:45] hey my webcam isnt working till now. i have tried everything i could. but it doesnt work. can anybody help ?

[11:58] i think 4gb is greater than 1 gb [11:58] Haegin, n8w you need to be prepared for the situation that your swap is in use by apps [11:58] airstrike, i noted it. i said your rule of 1.5 or 2 times applies if the ram is under 1 gb [11:59] abhi_nav, >>> theadmin: ive got 4300mb swap n 4G of ram [11:59] still not clear [11:59] itheos, in any case.

Because it uses 3d Acceleration, and VLC can't play VCDs in Ubuntu directly, [12:42] I'm trying to figure out what my app should do (which uses autotools) when it installs [12:42] tittu: ask your question in detail in one line to j0rd [12:42] rocket16 gXine is a plugin or a seperate video player [12:42] j0rd: he has the actual problem. i was asking on behalf of him [12:42] because right now /usr/local/bin/(my binary) is found, but it in turn is unable to import the python module it installed [12:43] akshay: Seperate video player, a gui to xine-libs [12:43] tittu: you got my msg?

Yes, you could use DVD/CD as a repositories but the packages get outdated fast. [13:35] bobbyyu: the cd/dvd can work as a repository. but you can disable the cd/dvd and it will get stuff from the internet. [13:35] Rofl. [13:36] I'm used to typing fast. [13:36] Sorry, lawl.

[13:37] but it should have enough space [13:38] Thank you every one. You have been kind. [13:38] is 600 mb enough? [13:38] I used lili, and liked it very much [13:38] No [13:38] You need atleast 1GB imo [13:38] But don't bother if you have less then 2 [13:38] dante123: depends on where it freezes, could be software related or just your hardware giving out [13:39] dante123, heat issue? cpu not seated properly? bad hardware (hard drive)? [13:39] psychuil: don't bother if you have less than 2 GB? [13:39] gamer: do you want to use the USB drive as an installation medium or do you want to install it onto the USB drive? [13:39] psychuil: all I want to do is use it as an install cd [13:39] dante123, motherboard OK? no bulging capacitors? [13:39] installation medium [13:40] acicula, it usually freezes just prior to going into ubuntu or right when desktop shows up. Mouse arrow on screen but cant move it...locked up.

[13:40] ehnde: try #ubuntu+1 [13:40] acicula: thanks [13:40] daniskami: installation medium [13:40] gamer: think an usb stick needs 500-1gb big? unetbootin will tell you, or look on the ubuntu wiki page regarding usb installs [13:40] !usb [13:40] 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 [13:41] chili555, im looking right now...but I think capacitors are good. I must say it did this cold reboot freeze thing from day one. Now it just is becoming more apparent....and seems to be more ubuntu based as I cant remember it heppening with windows. [13:42] dante123: may be worth trying a live usb stick with 9.04 and an 10.04 alpha to see if you have the same problem [13:42] dante123: wont solve it but should give you a better idea wether its a hardware issue or not? [13:42] Halitech i dont think it is a heat issue as it happens generally when the machine is starting from cold boot [13:43] dante123: can still be a power/capacitor issue if it eventually works [13:45] dante123: any hardware upgrades/custom stuff in the pc? === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [13:47] acicula i do have a new graphics card in there....nvidia 7300 [13:48] hello all [13:48] gamer: FYI, my Xubuntu Karmic USB drive has less than 700 MB on it [13:48] come to think of it.....the config file for xorg.conf might still have the settings of when it had an nvidia 6200 in it....hmmm [13:48] when I say new....like a month ago [13:49] How to delete a file from terminal [13:49] back, Halitech, whats the correct packagename then? [13:49] one month in computer context = middle aged [13:49] dante123, does the installation of the video card correspond to the start of the cold boot issue? [13:49] lalalol, according to Stargaze it's chromium-browser [13:50] idd, i'm using chromium-browser myself [13:50] idd = indeed? [13:50] idd lalalol :) [13:50] haha :P [13:50] i have a problem, when I run gpg -o /tmp/test.gpg --encrypt -r "R5C7E8B1" /tmp/test.csv on the command line it runs fine creating a .gpg file, when I try to do it via php exec() i get the error: gpg: R5C7E8B1: skipped: public key not found gpg: /tmp/test.csv: encryption failed: public key not found . why is that? [13:50] alright, gonna install then [13:50] pls i have this challenge...i have two ISPs and they are both connected to my desktop thru a dual ethernet adapter, the chalenge is how to choose which of the ISP i want to connect to without removing the cable...when i disable and enable its just auto eth0 - tht means it arbitrarily chooses the which ISP to activate... [13:50] chili555 the cold boot issue was a frequent thing from the beginning....but turns out one memory module was bad....so I think that issue has gone away now. This issue happens either just as ubuntu is booting up or just as soon as you get to desktop [13:51] trying boot from livecd right now...acicula and chili555 [13:51] * tittu slaps abhi_nav around a bit with a large trout [13:52] Wackler, rm be very careful!!! [13:52] awesome its installed [13:52] chili555 thx [13:53] pls i have this challenge...i have two ISPs and they are both connected to my desktop thru a dual ethernet adapter, the chalenge is how to choose which of the ISP i want to connect to without removing the cable...when i disable and enable its just auto eth0 - tht means it arbitrarily chooses the which ISP to activate... [13:53] is there a commandline log file viewer? [13:53] nucc1, cat /path/to/log/file [13:53] nucc1, try cat blabla.log|less [13:54] ok [13:54] nucc1, I think if you want a running view, try tail /path/to/logfile [13:54] Stargaze: you can just do less filename [13:54] Halitech: you'll need tail -f for that. [13:55] Pici, tnx 4 the tip :) [13:55] ddavids, Network Manager arbitrarily decides? [13:55] acicula and chili555, boot processing seems to be taking a long time...from livecd [13:55] Pici, ok, wasn't completely sure and figured someone would correct me if I was wrong :) [13:55] Halitech, the postfix log files will be in /var/log/mail.log ? [13:55] nucc1, not totally sure [13:56] nucc1: yes. [13:56] acicular and chili555. seems hung.......cd light flashing but nothing happening.....white ubuntu logo on black on screen [13:56] Pici, yea, just saw that. how do i make it not set "from = www-data@localhost" ? [13:56] chili555: it most usually connects to the one tht has something like 192.168.... [13:56] nucc1: 'it'? [13:57] Pici, postfix :) or PHP one of the two :) [13:57] chili555: even when the network is down on that one... [13:57] ddavids, if you could stand to get rid of NM, you could do sudo ifconfig eth0 ip_address_desired up [13:57] acicula and chili555, i would say we have lockup on boot from livecd....so that makes it look hardware related right? [13:57] hi, i noticed a difference with the linksys WUSB54G adapter between 9.04 and 9.10. In 9.04 WPA works wonderfully and in 9.10 everything but WPA works. Where should I file a bug reprot?

[14:00] ddavids, when you click the NM icon, do you see any choices available?

[14:43] everything else will be autoconfigured [14:43] ok [14:44] I think the way it works no, X will auto-configure itself, then overlay any additional stuff from xorg.conf [14:44] s/no/now/ [14:44] ah, that sounds great [14:44] mhall119|work, that's pretty much how it always worked. [14:44] is there an application I can use to set a cap on a machines bandwidth usage and change the cap at any time? preferably with a GUI? [14:45] mhall119|work, just that Xorg has come to a point where it is reliable enough without. [14:45] ibuclaw: okay, well the auto-configure part has gotten much better then [14:45] Am out ppl.

[14:50] erUSUL: ok thanks. do you know anything about pfsense?

[16:19] Akkernight: it is near the button, which you use to eject the drive [16:19] Akkernight: CAREFULLY [16:20] Akkernight: basic question: do you have niddle? haa haa haa :D [16:20] abhi_nav, I don't think I have a long enough needle [16:21] Akkernight: no it should not be any long its usual day to day used niddle [16:21] Akkernight: if you dont have niddle then you can use small piece of wire. electric wire or copper wire but be carefull [16:21] abhi_nav, I meant I only have school circle maker needle (I have no idea what it's called in English) [16:22] Akkernight niddle used to by tailor to make cloths [16:22] abhi_nav: paperclips can also work well for that [16:22] any idea where I could find logs for upstart? postgresql won't autostart and I want to check the logs. [16:22] abhi_nav, I don't have that... I do have coal sticks that you put in pens, are they too weak? [16:22] Akkernight, i think youre talking about a compass [16:23] Akkernight: as zilla says papercils wll be useful [16:23] a two legged pencil, needle one point, writes on the other [16:23] datacrusher, yeah that... abhi_nav I don't have any such thing === erik_ is now known as ekarulf [16:23] Akkernight: even a piece of wire? copper wire? [16:24] Akkernight: see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_needle this is needle and i am refering to smallest one if first pic [16:24] abhi_nav, what would I do with that? [16:24] Paperclip. :) [16:24] Akkernight: take one niddle and insert into one small hole which is on your cddrive near somewhere door of cddrive. carefully [16:24] I always straighten out a paperclip to force cd ejection [16:25] Akkernight: when you insert that needle or wire into that hole cd automaticly ejects (even if its not power on) [16:25] Dr_Willis, well we use the computer more than paper here, so no paperclips around :P [16:25] Akkernight: see that link? [16:25] Hi, two questions - i'm just 'installing' UrT, where's the best place to put the directory full of game-files and the launcher itself, preferably so it can be executed from a terminal/launcher in the same way stuff like 'xterm' or 'firefox' can be? [16:26] Secondly, on a similar note, how can I create a launcher that will launch a terminal and run a specific command (in this case, ssh to my local server)? [16:27] Grey_Loki: for the second question. check out the "gnome-terminal" command.. there is a switch for a command to run [16:27] hello! can anyone help me uninstall upstart? is it safe? I have karmic 64 server but it won't start postgresql server at boot even though there are links in /etc/rc*.d and it starts ok if I do /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start manually [16:27] Slart: thanks :) [16:27] I took harddrive image of my EeePC 900 so that I could safely install Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Netbook to it. After changing the netbook view to regular view and installing like 250 updates and rebooting, alot is messed up now. The GNOME Panels don't show up and trying to get the quicklaunch thingy (the Run window in Window$) to show up. [16:27] (CONTINUING) I made a launcher on the desktop to start Terminal to execute "gnome-panel". The Panels do show up but the menus and shortcuts are missing. Executing the command also outputs errors and debug info. This ain't normal. === matthew is now known as Guest66822 [16:29] what the. Now the cd drive just randomly pops open [16:29] Hello. I downloaded alsa modular synth (ams) on karmic, but somehow I can't seem to get a pcm output...any suggestions as to how to fix this?

[16:33] ceterus: pastebin the scripts and let us know where it fails? [16:33] somehow it seems that I cannot open a pcm port on karmic...any suggestions? [16:33] I suspect it may have something to do with pulseaudio.

[16:51] llutz: oh cock, I'm a noob [16:51] I was editing /etc/mysql/my.conf, not my.cnf [16:51] >.< [16:51] How do i reffer to a script inside this script? Like, somefile.sh might be renamed to someotherfile.sh so i shouldn't use the name right? [16:52] Jordan_U: I know that difference and I always first open a file before replacing it (to check if there are other settings in it) [16:52] Jordan_U: good catch , but sudo doesn't cross rediections [16:52] Beelsebob: that might explain something [16:52] Jordan_U: right, I forgot [16:52] hey spotify isn't in my country it says [16:52] what do i do [16:52] Rapsodius: echo "stuff" | sudo tee /somefile/ [16:52] ...I guess better off asking in #bash [16:52] I'm in the USA [16:52] It would be something like sudo echo vm.swappiness=10 >> /etc/sysctl.conf [16:53] how can i use spotify in the USA [16:53] Pici: needs "sudo tee -a" ? (append) [16:53] anyone know how to fix not being able to navigate the recovery menu in recovery boot mode? [16:53] also fo the extra mile you can try echo vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50 >> /etc/sysctl.conf [16:53] ardchoille: If you need to append, sure. [16:53] Rapsodius: for appending with tee it would be "echo vm.swappiness=10 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf" [16:53] or try experimenting with swappiness values, with all that free ram you will barely need swap [16:54] Jordan_U: fine [16:54] meh those 'tee' and stuff are complicated, i always sudo -i and then use echo [16:54] Or don't have a swap partition... === 50UAAE29X is now known as Twin_ge_ [16:55] if i boot into windows and copy my home folder (as i cant get into ubuntu anymore), reinstall, and then copy my home folder back in, will it have all my apps and themes and settings all saved? [16:55] or better change to su [16:55] or sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and do your dirty stuff [16:55] is it possible to not have a swap partition? and do i really need one? [16:55] ChogyDan: The subpages of "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC" list so many troubles with having regular Ubuntu on EeePC that I better either make the UNR work or change distro. [16:55] !gksudo | Rapsodius [16:55] Rapsodius: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

[16:57] akshay: which shortcut? [16:57] abhi_nav ,to launch gnome-do [16:57] was that amber graner? [16:57] ChogyDan: You see, you must patch/alter regular Ubuntu quite a lot, according to the pages, to make it work as should. I simply currently have to Panels issue which I'd want to solve to see if more issues arise. If more arises, I'll fix them up until they can't be fixed. [16:57] akshay: make custome shortcut [16:57] is it possible to not have a swap partition? and do i really need one? [16:58] hi all, windows boots fine.....ubuntu usually freezes up just before going to x.....any ideas?? [16:58] Is there a place where I can get help troubleshooting problems with my printer? It is a network printer that I setup through cups. I can add it without problems. When I do print test, it shows that the job was completed. /var/log/cups/error_log shows no errors. But the printer does not print and there is an error in /var/log/deamon.log: io/hpmud/pp.c 627: unable to read device-id ret=-1 [16:58] currently have this Panels* [16:58] fairly new graphics card....7300 nividia about a month ago [16:58] I solved my problem with that link but unfortunatly a ran into another one. While clicking finish and when it was doing the instalation prosess and when it got to the 64th percent it asked me if I wanted to continue the instalation as the software im installing has no valid name or somthing. When I click ok it showed me this error: [16:58] rautamiekka: what page says you have to patch ubuntu?

Most of those pages are old, even the array.org kernel isn't needed anymore [16:59] it looks like Ubuntu comes without many of the default screensavers, like the old blue screen one - is there an easy way to get them all loaded? [16:59] if i boot into windows and copy my home folder (as i cant get into ubuntu anymore), reinstall, and then copy my home folder back in, will it have all my apps, themes and settings all saved? [16:59] rem, better create a separate home partition [16:59] markl_: Install the xscreensaver-data-extra and xscreensaver-gl-extra packages. [16:59] rem: settings, likely. apps and themes, highly doubltful [17:00] rem: as for settings and themes yeah but about apps... can't be sure [17:00] ChogyDan: Urgh. Google for "eeepc ubuntu" without the quotes and the first page there has "EeePC" in its right end [17:00] rem: sort of. You might be able to just reinstall Ubuntu, don't reformat the drive, and it will save your /home folder [17:00] ChogyDan: in its address. [17:00] what's the command to see which packages are installed? [17:00] Mark22: echo 10 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [17:00] rem: also, how the heck do you plan to open a ext filesystem in Windows? [17:00] good question [17:01] Pici: cool, do i have to do anything else to make it work properly, e.g. will it break the gnome screen locking? [17:01] replace 10 with some value lesser or equal to 15 [17:01] and greater than 0 [17:01] theadmin: There's an installable EXT2 for Win [17:01] all i did was uninstall the ATI driver and i cant even boot up anymore [17:01] theadmin: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [17:01] lullabud said it, theadmin [17:01] markl_: Nope, that will not break anything. If you run xscreensaver-demo you have a chance of breaking things though, so if you do run it to change settings, don't have it kill or start any daemons. [17:01] Rapsodius: thank you, looking for how it will work in a few hours [17:01] rem: Get sytemrescuecd iso from sysresccd(dot)org and use that to copy stuff over. [17:01] rautamiekka: oh, I see the page. I just don't see what patching you have to do to get it working. Again, I run regular ubuntu on eeepc already, so I know that all the issues there used to be have been fixed [17:01] hi [17:02] Pici: ok cool ty [17:02] steve_irwin: they have IRC in heaven?? [17:02] ChogyDan: Which EeePC ? I have 900 which I installed UNR onto [17:02] lullabud: they who? [17:02] rautamiekka: 1000HE [17:02] abhi_nav: steve irwin, the crocodile hunter!! [17:02] theadmin: thanks, will do [17:02] How do you restart the gnome-keyring-manager? [17:03] lullabud: hmm :D [17:03] ChogyDan: I think that lappy works better than 900 but okey, I'll test regular Ubuntu and will then report back [17:03] with out restarting X? [17:03] steve_irwin: lol [17:03] Is it possible to boot a /etc/rc.local script before a init.d script somehow?? [17:03] rautamiekka: the only different between UNR and regular is the interface. All the drivers were put into the kernel so are in both [17:04] Mark22: however remember that is temporary, since after the reboot, the value stored in /etc/sysctl.conf will take effect [17:04] steve_irwin mocked by South Park [17:04] can you put the 9.04 netbookremix .img to your usb stick without having 1 files corrupted as a result of the checkfiles ? [17:04] Rapsodius: I know, I also added it in /etc/sysctl.conf (for when I reboot it) [17:05] ChogyDan: Meaning that the UNR .img image's 300 megas larger size is due to more poor image format ? [17:05] rautamiekka: no, it would be just different things installed [17:05] for last couple days, i had to keep my laptop lid half way close for the external monitor to get highest resolution.. would be nice if i could go back to when i could keep my laptop lid close all the way and have external monitor still works w/ highest resolution.. anyone can suggest a fix ? [17:05] hellow [17:05] i am running karmic [17:06] what's the command to see a list of packages that are currently installed? [17:06] lullabud: wasn't it dpkg -l ?

Well, off I go to test with the regular Ub [17:06] hy how can i get out send mail becausei give apt-get remove sendmail and when i reboot the machine i have a lod of proceses whit sendmail and eat all mai memory [17:07] ChogyDan: Oh, and I won't run 9.10 Karmic cuz it doesn't support my Nokia Internet Stick CS-15 [17:07] axisys: i thought i saw an apt- tool mentioned the other day... dpkg -l would do it though [17:07] Repost, since it has been buried several minutes ago: I have installed timidity and freepats, but don't like how midis sound, I want them to sound exactly like in Windows, so how do I convert the GM.DLS file into a SoundFont 2 file? [17:07] rautamiekka: oh, I see, that may change things, but good luck [17:07] lullabud: could be.. i know dpkg is one way.. there is aptitude there too and synaptics [17:07] <3 tab-completion of apt-* switches [17:08] hey [17:08] can anyone give me a spotify invite code [17:08] plz [17:08] plzplz [17:09] I have a HDD which does not appear to work with Ubuntu, do I need to download a software for it? If so, which? [17:09] steve_irwin: what is that? [17:09] any1 know if the "ophcrack livecd" is linux-based? [17:09] bub: Install "gparted" and check if it recognizes the drive at all [17:10] steve_irwin: what is that? [17:10] hi everyone, can someone tell me how to install flash? [17:10] spotify is a service that lets you listen to unlimited streamed songs, whatever songs you want [17:10] like pandora except you pick the songs [17:10] aluno: i386? [17:10] aluno: most cameras have a flash built in already [17:10] but its only available in the UK and by invite [17:10] aluno: "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" [17:10] !flash | aluno [17:10] aluno: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:11] bub: what sort of hard drive? [17:11] I mintified my computer and want it back to ubuntu!!!! [17:12] bub: Oh, forgot to mention that I assume that Ub had recognized the drive so that GParted may try to understand it. If it doesn't, the drive ain't seen by Ub [17:12] sorry for OT, but anyone using an Acer aspire one D150 or 531 with 3g-onboard and could paste the lspci-output for me? [17:12] steve_irwin: if you can't get a spotify invite, or just want an alternative, check out grooveshark.com [17:12] or dizzler.com [17:13] it's open source, even <3 [17:13] holaa [17:13] hola [17:13] steve_irwin: you there?

I guess it would depend on what "mintifying" means [17:15] can I strip linux mint down to just ubuntu? [17:15] where's best channel to find linux/winxp networking help? [17:16] moose1: probably not.. mint isn't just additions [17:16] look for a sadms channel [17:16] hi, i'm trying to copy a bootable Mac OS 9 cd with K3b... i made two iso images, one normal and one with the "clone" setting. when i burn either of them, the data seems to be fine, but they don't seem to be bootable. any advice? [17:16] moose1: I agree with Slart. Linux Mint must be another distro with Ub codebase but I'm not completely sure with that [17:16] moose1, yep but isn`t worth of dooing [17:17] I installed the mint additions to try them, then tried to uninstall. I'm concerned that it won leave any GUI. [17:17] Hi -- I'm listening to Raul Chong's intro videos for DB2-C express. early on he mentions a command -- db2icrt -- which I do not have. I am on linux and just downloaded and installed the latest tarball [17:17] josh-N: well, what are you trying to boot with it? [17:18] sipior: an old iMac [17:18] Is there a tool for ubuntu server that lets me customize a list of packages I need to have installed on a new server? [17:18] !automate | mw44118-work [17:18] mw44118-work: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [17:18] !clone | mw44118-work [17:18] mw44118-work: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [17:19] the iMac is booting from the original CD, but there are some read errors [17:19] josh-N: the system folder generally needs to be "blessed" to boot. unfortunately, this is rather off-topic for this channel :-) [17:20] how do I restore usplash and login defaults? [17:20] sipior: would you be willing to try and help in a private conv? [17:21] I moved from 9.10 on a drive with ext3 to a new identically sized drive in same box.. with 9.10 using ext4 installed.. now though, network shares, print shares ,etc.. are not working.. where, which channnel or resource can I find help testing and repairing this? [17:21] josh-N: old mac OS installs aren't really my thing, apologies. [17:21] here is good bonez2046 [17:21] bonez2046: can you still ping the source?(more detail).... windows share? fstab? using what fs? === cp is now known as Guest30475 [17:22] tyler_d2: yes, I can ping them.. I have set up cups 1.4 on my ubuntu box.. but if I enter the control and attempt to change settings CUPS gives errors.. and when attempting to add shared printer from win boxes.. the shares are invisible [17:23] sipior: as a more general question, how do i tell K3b to make a real raw copy? (the system folder should stay blessed when the disk is copied byte by byte, right?) [17:23] josh-N: yes, it certainly should. [17:24] How can I check which version of Xfce I'm running? [17:24] josh-N: i don't use K3b, so I'm afraid I can't answer your other question. [17:25] sipior: ok thanks for trying to help though.

Is there any terminal command? [17:27] Grey_Loki, if you want to start it from CLI put it in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /sbin, or /bin, and run chmod +x filename [17:28] arakthor: can it be within a subdir of /usr/bin, and still be recognised? [17:28] Grey_Loki: well, the short answer is to put it in any directory in $PATH. [17:28] Grey_Loki, I'm not sure [17:28] Redaxxx: reinstall it then naa? [17:28] arakthor: guess i'll have a play then - thanks :) [17:28] !path [17:28] update-grub errors out with grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.

[17:29] anyone had any joy with e-uae [17:29] mw44118-work: hmm, alright - i'll do some googling [17:29] Akkernight no [17:29] Akkernight: perfectly common for windows [17:30] Grey_Loki, if you have a folder with a program and resources; you could just leave it somewhere and then put a simlink to executable somewhere in $PATH (as mw44118-work said) [17:30] Ubuntu won't install to my Dell Laptop.

[17:33] and verified the md5 sums on them both [17:33] how do i open my ubuntu filesystem so i can copy my home folder when booted into systemrescuecd [17:33] Akkernight no listen. this is not the recommended way. you have to install windows first and then ubuntu [17:33] i've done the md5 sums [17:34] abhi_nav, well that's too late.. [17:34] mneptok: i have done the md5 sums [17:34] hoonches: burn the iso to disc at the slowest speed possible [17:34] Hi I am on ubuntu 9.04, how can i get information of the hardware I am running? specifically about the hard disk [17:34] how to install eclipse to work on php on ubuntu 8.04?

So I installed ubuntu on a previously partitioned space(F:). Now I can boot only into ubuntu from the grub. Can someone help me out? I'd like to see both the OS's in the grub and dual- boot into windows too. (The windows partition hasnt been deleted). I need windows for university purposes. [17:36] It was not possible to get some archives, try to run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing [17:36] I've run apt-get update already [17:36] anyone? [17:37] everyone [17:37] any ideia? [17:37] abhi_nav, so failed disk burn? [17:37] hey what does this warning means "WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display." [17:37] My ubuntu server is 9.10 [17:37] can someone help me? [17:37] hi, what's the easiest way to prevent ubuntu from starting the graphical interface? I'd like it to start into runlevel 3 but am not sure how far "upstart" changes my understanding of the runlevel concept [17:37] Which file system is best to use? Ext3, Ext4 or XFS? I have heard very good things about XFS [17:37] omg to many questions [17:37] ext3 [17:37] hey [17:38] best ext4 prefered ext3 [17:38] conb123: depends on your needs [17:38] conb123 what do you want from the filesystem [17:38] Akkernight i was disconnected repeat if you had said something [17:38] Well it's just I have heard that XFS is a lot faster than ext3 [17:38] xfs is good, but using it with fuse uses too much ram ...... not sure abt it though [17:38] abhi_nav, so failed disk burn? [17:38] conb123 that's true in some cases, in some cases ext3 is faster. [17:39] does anybody knows why I can't install ubuntu-vm-builder? [17:39] conb123 if you want speed use ext2 [17:39] should i bother with webdav & apache 2? [17:39] brontosaurusrex only if you want to bother with it [17:39] or just enable ftp/ssh access? [17:39] LinuxAdmin: what happened when you ran apt-get with --fix-missing? [17:39] rsk: But ext2 is an old format [17:39] conb123 it is [17:40] it starts to install to many packages, postfix included [17:40] conb123 it's still faster [17:40] I don't want postfix [17:40] conb123 and that's what you wanted [17:40] hey what does this warning means "WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display." [17:40] itheos dga = direct graphics acceleration afaik [17:40] LinuxAdmin: you can always try uninstalling it later. or simply turn it off. [17:40] right [17:41] is webdav tied to actual system users, or are those some apache virtual users? [17:41] Why does it take me so long to login on my ubuntu server? It's not a SSH problem, because "su username" also takes a while. Does anybody else have the same problem? [17:41] I supect it is installing to many packets, that's why I don't want to run with --fix-missing parameter [17:41] how do i add a .ppk file to my ssh-client? [17:41] I want a clean system, only with the minimal packets [17:42] if i created a symlink from ~/.local/share/tomboy to ~/Ubuntu One would that mean my tomboy notes would go to the Ubuntu One cloud? And if so how do would I make the link, im not good with that link command [17:42] i need help installing flash 10.1 to a 64 bit boxee install. what are the steps? [17:42] toehio: you have a broken or weird PAM configuration? [17:42] seanbrystone: man ln [17:42] this is a server for hosting virtual machines [17:42] why do i get this "WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display."???? [17:42] blakkheim, not everyone has the man-fu, including me thats why I asked in here :) [17:43] hey guys! I'm having some problems with upstart ik karmic server 64bit. It won't start postgresql. I tried http://superuser.com/questions/98702/how-to-make-postgresql-start-at-boot-time-in-ubuntu but it didn't work. can I remove upstart? I'm afraid to test it because the machine is at a remote location and if I mess it up I won't be able to connect to it anymore. [17:43] seanbrystone: man-fu? it's just reading.. [17:43] do you know why is #ubuntu-server so calm? [17:43] how do i add a .ppk file to my ssh-client? [17:43] LinuxAdmin: so, if i understand you correctly, you don't want to fix your problem, because then you would have too many packages installed? i guess if your goal is a clean system that is absolutely useless, you may be on to something. [17:43] no one answers me? [17:43] itheos: people are more likely to understand your problem if you tell them under which circumstances you get the warning. [17:43] blakkheim, but that's like telling me to go google it [17:43] LinuxAdmin: perhaps remove bash as well? [17:44] rsk: you should stick to ext4 and maybe turn off journaling for best speed, rather than ext2.. there are other features in ext4 that make it faster than ext2 [17:44] I don't want that, but I can't understand why I have to install a mail server if it is not my goal === aurax is now known as auriclez [17:45] LinuxAdmin: dependencies are like that, sometimes. disk space is cheap, turn postfix off if you don't need it. [17:45] !info .ppk [17:45] some body help me with gnome-do [17:45] if i created a symlink from ~/.local/share/tomboy to ~/Ubuntu One would that mean my tomboy notes would go to the Ubuntu One cloud? And if so how do would I make the link, im not good with that link command [17:45] LinuxAdmin: did you try --no-install-recommends? [17:45] that's why I'm afraid I get to many packages installed [17:45] Package .ppk does not exist in karmic [17:45] akshay ???? [17:45] anyone here using boxee on 64 bit install? [17:45] does anyone know if you can change the icon in the xubuntu login screen [17:45] I tryed --install-recommends [17:46] tryed? [17:46] abhi_nav, i applied dock theme...and now there is no option to revert back ..wat to do [17:46] seanbrystone: He means "tried". His Eng isn't that good apparently [17:46] LinuxAdmin: installing recommends is the default, which is why more things get pulled in that are needed... you want to NOT install the recommended packages [17:46] abhi_nav , where can i find prefrences [17:46] akshay gnome do is listed in applications=>accesories [17:46] i know what he meant [17:46] i have LVM partation ma my HD, i want to install new fresh Ubuntu, but use that LVM partation as mount point, how could i do this [17:46] ok, let me try [17:47] abhi_nav...i know dat [17:47] akshay: what you want actually? [17:47] abhi_nav,to get back the normal theme [17:47] OLA [17:48] !es | gata [17:48] gata: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [17:48] I'm getting "incorrect file size" [17:48] OLA [17:48] Hi, I have SVN simple auth going and ubuntu isn't storing my password (I honestly don't care if it is stored in plaintext). Is there an easy way to just hack this to work? [17:48] I am using 9.10 [17:48] abhi_nav, itried uninstalling........but..after reinstallation..i again got that dock theme [17:48] any ideia? [17:48] akshay: what you want do ? theme or gnome do? [17:48] abhi_nav,,,dock is really messy [17:48] OLA [17:48] HI [17:49] gata: something we can help you with? [17:49] akshay: what you want do ? theme or gnome do? [17:49] Hi, I'm having problems installing ubuntu 9.10 server i386 from my usb stick made with usb-creator. It is not able to install because it cannot find the "cd-rom". I tried the option of testing the "disc", but a similar error message of not finding the cd-rom pops up asking me to input the device path, I tried both /dev/cdrom and /dev/sdb1 to no avail. I opened the shell, and /dev/sdb1 is correctly mounted under /dev/cdrom and i can list the f [17:49] SOY ESPAÑOLA [17:49] glad he got that off his chest. [17:50] I did an md5sum has of my image, and the md5sum is correct [17:50] hash* [17:50] abhi_nav..u have any solution for that [17:50] akshay: basically i am not getting your question [17:50] :-( [17:50] Would you say that ReiserFS is stable enough in ubuntu to use? I have heard that it is faster than ext2. [17:51] conb123: you should warn your wife before installing it though [17:51] man... it really is a shame about reiser. i wish they'd let him work on it from prison [17:51] vegar_: haha erm why is that? [17:51] isnt Mr Reiser in prison? is anyone even taking up where he left off? [17:52] omg lullabud great minds think alike ;) [17:52] if they're not going to continue it, they should release a final version, reiserFS 187 final [17:52] abhi_nav, i installed gname-do..tried with its theme....as i applied dock theme....the prefrence option has now disappeared .....now i want to get the default theme...or whatever...but not the dock theme..u got it [17:53] Is it possible to customise what elements are active in terms of visual effects? [17:53] Like, instead of just having 'none', 'some', or 'loads', change the fade times and such [17:53] Grey_Loki: there is compiz config [17:53] hello al. i have a 64 bit install of ubuntu and i have 10.1 flash beta 3 installed fine for firefox through nspluginwrapper. however, i am trying to configure it for boxee. please help [17:54] vegar_: not sure that i'm using Compiz? [17:54] i have been searching for a methid for 30 minutes [17:54] theres no way what im trying to do is rare [17:55] akshay: hmm that means you are talking about the theme of gnome-do not the theme of your desktop? hmm ok i got it now. and suggestio is reinstall gnome do [17:55] Grey_Loki: The standard desktop effects in ubuntu are due to compiz [17:55] maverick_: so you want to have two side by side installations of Ubuntu? [17:55] the 64 bit 10.0 flash plugin is giving me terrible performance but 10.1 is a bit better === exodus is now known as EXODUS [17:55] Grey_Loki: Install simple-ccsm for a simple compiz settings manager [17:55] psusi, no, [17:55] abhi_nav, did it no success [17:56] anyone? [17:56] Crap. [17:56] What did you say? [17:56] psusi, i currently have ubuntu 9.04 with LVM but i want to instal ubuntu 9.10 using same /home and other partation [17:56] maverick_: you want to get rid of your old Ubuntu install and install a new copy, but save your data files in the old one? [17:56] akshay: please dont use comma after nick it is not getting highlighted [17:57] maverick_: do you want to replace 9.04 or dual boot? [17:57] ohk [17:57] maverick_: you dont want to straight upgrade? [17:57] ola [17:57] k tal === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:57] i would like to make a custom version of the ubuntu distro with all the packages i need available offline on the disk... is this possible? [17:57] psusi, i want to replace it just format /root and use all like /home /var same as old [17:58] maverick_: do you already have /home on its own partition? if so then just install and tell it to do manual partitioning, choose the existing root and /home partitions like you did before, and just set it to not format the /home partition... or yea, you can just do an in place upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 [17:58] I have a multibooting usb stick with various partitions and distros, I wanna back it up.. just dd if=/dev/sdb of=usbstick.img enough? [17:59] psusi, the main problem is i currently have LVM partation, but while trying to install new one it didnt show my current LVM partation, so i am unable to select my old /home /var .. [18:00] duffydack: that's not a very good way to back it up since restoring to a stick of a different size is problematic, and it copies free blocks too [18:00] duffydack: that will back up the whole disk yes. You may want to backup each partition individually. partimage is your friend here, of course something like clonezilla provides a nice GUI wrapper. [18:01] maverick_: are you using the livecd or the alternate installer? the livecd does not normally support lvm, but you can install the lvm package and then it pretty much works [18:01] Hi, I un-installed pulseaudio yesterday to fix some audio-errors i was having and the volume happlet has vanished from my notification area. any ideas? [18:01] psusi, livecd [18:01] duffydack: in addition to what psusi said, there are other complications. You could use dd (or better ddrescue) on each partition [18:01] maverick_: sudo apt-get install lvm2 [18:01] maverick_: before you start the installer [18:02] maverick_: then sudo lvs and see if it shows the volumes [18:02] without building a kernel from scratch is there an easy way to downgrade from kernel 2.6.30/31 to 2.6.28 or 2.6.29 I have been very unhappy with 30/31 [18:02] hi is their anyway to load the applications menu without a mouse? [18:03] meganerd, psusi, I will be restoring it to same size stick later on...but I dont wanna image free space either... hmmm [18:03] SatManUK you could probably use the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences app to set it up :) [18:03] SatManUK: alt+f1 [18:03] i just ejected a dvd movie and ubuntu is acting like it's still in there, in the sense that the drive is still named after the dvd and it's not seeming to read the new DVD i put in. What should i do? [18:03] infid: restart? [18:03] duffydack: well you could compress the resulting image [18:03] i am trying to run ubuntu on a hp pavilion a310uk but its only got 256mb ram and doesn't detect the usb keyboard / mouse properly [18:03] lol [18:04] oddy: i got ubuntu since it's not windows in the sense of having to be restarted to fix every little thing though ;) [18:04] hi all.. [18:04] you've done right click and unmount right infid? [18:04] what is the recomended ram size for ubuntu to run smoothly [18:04] hi enthus [18:04] 256 SatManUK [18:04] (MB) [18:04] Package partimage is not available, but is referred to by another package. [18:04] i m using ubuntu9.10 , i want to know which kde version suits it? [18:04] oddy: hey! [18:04] enthus you'd want 4.0. that's the one in the repo [18:05] enthus: i am using kubuntu 4.4.1 and its fine [18:05] oddy: i tried that before but now it's working. thanks [18:05] ah, the magic of computers infid :) glad it works [18:05] oddy: my internet connection is too slow..how much memory it would be? [18:05] anyone had problems using external usb drives in lucid lynx? [18:05] oddy: its running really slow on this p4 2.6/256mb === _Signal360_ is now known as Signal360 [18:05] gmspence___: nope [18:06] would it prefer a ps/2 mouse to a usb house [18:06] enthus: have you tried a different browser? like chrome? [18:06] SatManUK: how much space it requires? [18:06] dunno why my external drives no show - i bang in lsusb into the terminal and they are definately connected - not even showing in gparted. am stumpted [18:06] oddy: chrome uses even more memory [18:06] yes ofcourse..earlier not now! [18:06] SatManUK: probably yes. i have had issues with keyboard just before my computer died. does it work on other OS's? [18:06] SatManUK: 256MB RAM is very, VERY low for a DE like Kubuntu [18:06] meganerd: yeah but its faster! [18:06] oddy: currently i m using firefox [18:07] Yeah, SatManUK, you'd be better off with Xubuntu with XFCE. [18:07] oddy: I see no real difference [18:07] meganerd: maybe it's just me then :P [18:07] mneptok: i am not running kubuntu on the 256.. kubuntu has 4gb ram.. [18:07] if i plan on installing ubuntu in a VirtualBox.How big of a parttion shld i use? Will i nd room for more then the OS? [18:07] ubuntu is running on 256 / gnome] [18:07] SatManUK:,oddy: suggest me some stable version [18:07] SatManUK: have you got compiz switched off? [18:07] unsure.. [18:07] its just on live.. [18:07] i can't even get to installation.. [18:08] enthus: 4.4.1 is stable [18:08] You probably need Xubuntu then SatManUK. [18:08] MozillaGuerrilla: of course you will need more room for stuff other than the OS. You will need the space for the OS plus whatever data you put in it [18:08] enthus: if you just install it from the 'Software Centre' you'll get the best version for you :) [18:08] I'm having a lot of problems installing ubuntu server from usb. The installer runs, but it's having problems with the packages on the usb stick. Is is possible to force it to only use a network mirror? [18:08] SatManUK: my download speed is 10kbps. would it be a problem? [18:08] oddy: i am actually testing a fork of ubuntu called uberstudent [18:08] meganerd: I'd give it 6GB if it's just for mucking about [18:08] i suspect so.. [18:09] i thought you meant hd space [18:09] MozillaGuerrilla: you can define a 20 GiB hard drive, but it won't actually use 20 GiB. It will take up the space that is actually in use. [18:09] SatManUK: how much memory it takes? [18:09] M.N., Thats what i tht i jst wntd 2 mk sure thanks [18:09] SatManUK: Go Alt+F2 and type "metacity --replace" without quotes and run [18:09] SatManUK: yes hdspace [18:09] hi, i'm having an issue with youtube, perhaps flash as a whole. i can't pause videos or use any of the buttons [18:10] enthus: 4-5 GB? ish? probably less but I'd give space [18:10] kevbo1: adobe give crap flash versions to use linux users. what version and browser are you running? [18:10] I can alwys trnsfr data w my email [18:10] oddy: means now i have to download that 4-5 Gb from repos? [18:10] enthus: no sorry i got confused, [18:11] firefox 3.5.8.. i just installed the flash a minute ago, im not sure of the version [18:11] enthus: it'll be less than 1G [18:11] > SatManUK, i did xubuntu on a 256 and it was AMAZING the difference in speed. [18:11] oh wait. 10.0.45.2 [18:11] kebvo1: did you install from the flash website or Software Centre? [18:11] oddy: my internet speed is low, could you please tell a near number? [18:12] oddy: i mean memory [18:12] enthus: hang on i'll see if i can find out for you :) [18:12] enthus: it depends on your ISP [18:12] meganerd: he means file size :) [18:12] shame i can't just boot from an iso on a hd lol i don't have no blank disks on me at the moment [18:12] ubuntu was a bit slower but still ran alright, but the real noticable difference was w xubuntu! Look mom no spudder!! [18:12] enthus: I get it now :) [18:12] Hey : ) I have a disk(HDD), that I want automounted at boot and made so that every user on my system can read/write, how would I go about this? :) [18:12] meganerd: My download speed is 10jbps [18:12] what's the difference ? no gnome? [18:12] oddy: software center. i think i may have found a fix, one minute :) [18:12] MozillaGuerrilla: check out crunchbang linux [18:12] enthus: ouch [18:12] ok kevbo1 :) [18:12] what dm is xubuntu using? [18:12] it's based on ubuntu and is faster than xubuntu [18:12] zfce [18:12] xfce [18:13] ah [18:13] puppy is pretty fast but its not ubuntu based.. [18:13] SatManUK: yes i have gnome ..but loves kde :-) [18:13] puppy flies on a p1 :) [18:13] I prefer kde [18:13] puppy does use apt-get, i think [18:13] lol [18:13] eax , add it to your /etc/fstab [18:13] enthus - type in terminal "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and it'll say how much it is to download and how much it is when installed :) [18:13] Ppts, I got out of the stoneage and have a real computer now lol [18:13] but i am testing "uberstudent" its supposed to have lots of "templates" [18:13] and I wanna teach desktop linux [18:14] enthus: for me 72.9MB to download, and 275 on disk [18:14] oddy: ok ..i wil try now [18:14] Tharok: It's already there with the flags: " users,user,owner " - What should these be changed to? It is automounted but users cannot write to it [18:14] are there any admins in here? cos the 'conference mod' doesn't seem to be working i am getting filthily spammed with joins and parts. [18:14] Is there a way i can easily upgrade my nvidia drivers to 190 in Karmic. I tried a ppa , but that was a very bad idea... [18:14] hi room, I have a major networking issue. can anyone help please? [18:15] joris_: have you been to hardware drivers in system -> administration yet? [18:15] Hey, I have an odd sound problem. Background: (THIS ISN'T THE PROBLEM) but I listen to music with headphones, but there's background noise (white noise, I guess), SO, I go to terminal and run "alsamixer". I turn down the MASTER and then put PCM up. I'm on a laptop, if it matters. Anyway, all GREAT so far :) But now, the PROBLEM is this: if I use the karmic volume applet on the panel, or use my laptop's Vol Up / Vol Down [18:15] buttons, THEN the alsamixer resets to master 100% and PCM 100%. In other words: OWWWWWWW!! MY EARSIES!!!!! So what do I do now? [18:15] Does someone know how to change a launchpad account password? Plaese help! [18:15] eax is it an ntfs disk= [18:15] yes there are the 185 drivers installed, but i cannot upgrade [18:15] I like the way xfce has the "desks" all laid out in a row and the way u can drag boxes from 1 to the othr [18:15] I am setting up a training course teaching the basics of linux and also I wish to teach "ECDL 4 Linux" [18:15] Tharok: Nope, ext4 :) [18:15] I don't think there are many community based companies teaching this [18:16] but i am a student myself so have limited funds.. [18:16] joris_: your best bet is to wait for Lucid Lynx. They'll update it when they feel it is ready :) [18:16] BTW the reason that I go to alsamixer in the first place, is to eliminate the white noise [18:16] dharrison: just ask your question [18:16] Mimi: have you tried using the gnome-volume-control-applet and right clicking? [18:16] joris_, why was it a bad idea ? [18:16] hi all [18:16] oddy, is that the applet that comes by default? [18:16] yeah but I have some overscan issues with my tv-out and read that the 190 drivers fix it [18:16] Mimi: yeah === stephanie_ is now known as Guest66308 [18:17] ok thanks [18:17] oddy, yes, but it doesn't have PCM or Master options, only "volume" and "left/right" adjustment [18:17] are there problems in apt-get ? [18:17] joris_: you could try the forums [18:17] pls i wld like to knw the best app for burning cds... brasero isnt working for me...? [18:17] i have an ubuntu machine that will not communicate with a set of ips or web addresses [18:17] * SatManUK wonders if this hp pavilion is using ddr1 or 2 [18:17] my apt-get update hangs in "waiting for headers" [18:17] but will communicate with some others [18:17] it needs an upgrade! [18:17] mimi: have you been system-preferences-sound?

[18:18] oddy: It showed me this error -- E: Couldn't find package kubuntu-desktop what does it mean? [18:18] eax try by making a subfolder as root on the mountpoint and chmod it +rw [18:18] the ppa was a very bad idea because it gave diversion errors [18:18] enthus: try "sudo apt-get update" and then try again === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:18] Tharok: Trying, thanks :) [18:19] airtonix: when i try to buurn wt brasero it completes but when i take it out and reinsert the cd, it displays empty [18:19] Hmmm... oddy, I don't have that program installed, but if i try to install: E: Couldn't find package system-preferences-sound [18:19] mefuntee, k3b perhaps? [18:19] dharrison: in what way are you trying to communicate? [18:19] Tharok: What then? [18:19] Mimi: no i mean go System menu, then hover over preferences and then click sound :) [18:19] oddy: it takes more time! :-( [18:19] airtonix: do u think its better than brasero? [18:20] enthus: it is supposed to. it is making sure you computer knows what is in the software repos [18:20] oddy, Oh, DOOOOH :P Silly me. Hmmm, it is the same thing as the sound thing on the panel [18:20] Tharok: got to go for a little, will see your answer when I get back [18:20] oddy: thank you very much [18:20] is there a way to install ubuntu from shell? [18:20] oddly I looked in the forums but my only option seemed manually upgrading the drivers [18:20] Mimi: Oh, so it is :P I didn't realise, I uninstalled pulseaudio yesterday and it has all gone belly-up [18:20] lol [18:20] enthus: glad to help [18:21] Anyone knows in which package does the acx100 driver reside in the ubuntu karmic pool? [18:21] my friend wrote me this little script what are the commands to install it? [18:21] SatManUK: Not that I know of. Have you tried booting from the CD menu straight to "install ubuntu?" [18:21] oddy: when i do its asking for a username and password to login :) [18:21] fr3nzy, the kernel module package or restricted module package is where most kernel mods are packaged [18:21] like i said its not strictly ubuntu but based on ubuntu 9.10 fork [18:21] oddy: Are you a mentor for an soc project? [18:21] i would like to boot without the graphical bootsplash; is there a way to do that with 9.10? startupmanager doesn't work any longer... [18:22] i am connected via a wireless network - how to secure it [18:22] enthus: nope, just a bored student that can't be bothered to do my homework!

So I'm wondering how to make it work, and there's not much info regarding both ubuntu karmic and the included acx100 driver. [18:32] duffydack: I know, I have the 64bit version of Ubuntu on all my machines, no partimage kinda sucks [18:32] Anyone had any experience with this?

[18:32] duffydack: I also carry systemrescuecd on a USB key wherever I go [18:32] duffydack: I have never bothered with manually compiling it [18:33] fr3nzy, not planning on installing the gui system? [18:33] * Stargaze recommends Ultilex 5 for rescuing system [18:33] bash: cdmod: command not found [18:33] duffydack: not a bad idea IMO === lanoxx- is now known as lanoxx [18:33] Anyone know how to change the default vnc port ? [18:33] ugh, it needs z more recent bzip2 [18:33] this is why I hate compiling.. [18:34] acicula, I might do that later, you think it will be easier with the gui tools? I'm not that afraid of the command line, so I was curious if I can get it solved first. Having access to the internet before installing all the other packages would be nice. [18:35] hey guys. is apt-get a frontend for aptitude? or the other way around? im confused [18:35] other way round [18:35] er, isnt aptitude cmd line too? [18:35] yep [18:35] i dunno [18:35] it is [18:35] synaptic package manager is the frontend [18:36] aptitude is command line, yes [18:36] yes, it displays an interface in terminal [18:36] ^^ [18:36] well then whats the difference between aptitude and apt-get lol [18:36] fr3nzy, well having a working gui and an updated system makes things a bit easier yeah [18:36] wrinkliez: the different is very little. [18:36] both are independent and both are interfaces to the package management systems [18:36] difference* [18:36] wrinkliez: nothing to laugh at, both are frontends to apt [18:36] I can't update, since I have only wifi access to the internet atm. [18:36] aptitude keeps logs which is nice by the way [18:36] fr3nzy, from the acx100 wikipage i gather it should just be in the mainline kernel, though getting wireless to work from the console requires some effort [18:36] why would you create something so similar though i dont understand [18:36] hello guys [18:36] hello! I have the following problem: i have generated a private key file with puttygen under windows. i would now like to use that key to log into my server under ubuntu via ssh. i have copied and renamed the .ppk file to ~/.ssh/id_rsa and chmodded to 700. I can log on to the server using putty when i reference the keyfile. why can't i with the "ssh" command? [18:37] fr3nzy, what does iwconfig give as output? [18:37] the reason i ask is because ive used apt-get my entire ubuntu life until i realized you search with aptitude search blahblah [18:37] because flavor is tastey. [18:37] brasero is losing my patience... [18:37] wrinkliez: same thing use whatever is more comfortable.

[18:39] daniskami: I type apt-TAB, just as fast I suppose :) [18:40] niklasfi: jus copy the id_rsa to ur server homepage and do a cat id_rsa >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [18:40] Okay, I'll go check that out then, I'm sure there's no any driver currently associated with the wifi card. [18:40] smacky_: cdmod isn't a command. What are you trying to do? [18:40] Thanks, and I guess I'll be back, shortly. :-) [18:40] Jaypur enable x forwarding use the switch -X, then when logged in via ssh type sudo nautillus [18:40] riktking, ssh at the server and at the laptop [18:41] wizard_: except that apt- usually is ambiguous (apt-cache, apt-config etc.), so you can't tab after apt-, but now I'm nitpicking [18:41] riktking, aaah let me reinstall nautlius at the server... and then what should i do? [18:41] Jaypur so u type ssh user@address:port -X [18:41] riktking, yes i've already done that... [18:41] Jaypur which starts ssh with x forwarding enabled, the just type sudo nautillus [18:42] riktking, just a sec [18:42] Jaypur u have nautillus with root [18:42] riktking, installing nautlius [18:42] Jaypur will run a lil slow depending on network connection [18:42] Ok [18:42] hi, I want to know if there is a blog or a guide website for xubuntu [18:42] what is the latest name of openssh package for Karmic? [18:43] i need a suggestion about the folders I need to back up if I want to do a fresh install. so far I back up /etc and /home [18:43] jozefk: might check /usr for things like apache, samba, or other shared services. [18:43] meganerd, hmm, only thing with partimage is you cant do more than 1 at a time,,, [18:43] riktking, jan@jan-server:~$ sudo nautilus [18:43] Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display: [18:44] thanks [18:44] Jaypur is the system ur on linux or windows? [18:44] about xubuntu pls [18:44] riktking, both on ubuntu [18:44] do i need the alternate iso to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10? [18:45] deostroll, nope you can upgrade via update-manager [18:45] Jaypur, did u ssh with the -X switch? Not -x [18:45] if i created a symlink from ~/.local/share/tomboy to ~/Ubuntu One would that mean my tomboy notes would go to the Ubuntu One cloud? And if so how do would I make the link, im not good with that link command [18:45] xubuntu.xubuntu pls [18:45] -x??? [18:45] acicula: can't rely on my internet connection... [18:45] seanbrystone, that just puts the link there id suspect [18:45] Jaypur it has to be -X [18:45] hi [18:45] does anyone know how to use lpr to print between page 2 and 5 using -Z options? [18:46] about xubuntu guide pls [18:46] acicula, ah ok ill just use rsync then, thanks :) [18:46] riktking, sudo nautilus -x? [18:46] riktking, sorry i could not understand [18:46] Jaypur no ssh user@server -X [18:46] The sudo nautillus [18:47] no one cannot reply me???? [18:47] *Then [18:47] xubuntu pls.............. [18:47] Nasrulla - google ? [18:47] nasrullah: try /join #xubuntu [18:48] riktking, ssh -p myport ip -x ??? [18:48] Why would Ubuntu be a programmer's choice over other Linux distros? [18:48] rikting..ok google but I am searching for a blog or website pls === djm_ is now known as Guest59987 [18:48] Jaypur yes but capital X not x [18:48] thank you lotha [18:49] ok [18:49] just a sec [18:49] lahmas: not sure... I don't think it's that different from the other major distros [18:49] do i need to apt-get update just after installation in order to find packages [18:49] lahmas for a programmer you just want everything to work from the start [18:49] lahmas: why wouldn't it be? Easy setup, plenty of tools, popular, good first line support.... [18:49] lahmas ubuntu does that fairly well [18:49] acicula, iwconfig printed only "no wireless extension" and it also printed out "eth0" which is my lan card, as far as I understand. [18:49] lahmas i guess that's why [18:49] pk__: Yes. But probably the update manager which is in the upper right corner will prompt for your password and do it for you automatically [18:50] fr3nzy, yeah, afaik the acx is pretty horrible, its wiki says its in the ubuntu distro but i couldnt find it [18:50] oddy: in case you're wondering i got it working :P there's a tutorial in the 64bit subforum on the forum [18:50] hi all, i need some info on how to listen to streaming audio from CLI ~~ [18:51] there is no update manager over here [18:51] anyways managed it to update manually [18:51] Hi there, I have an HDD that automounts, however, only root can write to it. I want all users to be able to write to it. How can I do that? :) [18:51] Is there any signifcant reason to use 64 bit? [18:51] fr3nzy, i think i've used that driver a year or two ago and quickly went for the windows driver via ndiswrapper and shortly after just swapped out the card [18:51] Thanks for your time, though, acicula. I'll have to fiddle with it a bit more. :-) [18:51] What 64bit apps would the average user use for it? [18:51] ola [18:51] hay alguien español [18:51] wizard_, aside from the memory limit for end users there is little difference [18:51] !es | pijita [18:51] wizard_: you can use more memory [18:51] pijita: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [18:51] That's a nice one, any wifi card which you can recommend for ubuntu? [18:52] pk__: remember that "apt-get update" only updates the package lists, you have to do "apt-get upgrade" in order to actually upgrade the packages [18:52] wizard_: you need 64bit or PAE to use more than 4GB of memory.. [18:52] eax: what type of filesystem? Who owns the top-level directory & what are its permissions set to? [18:52] Slart, acicula: yes, but most people don;t need more than a couple gigs of ram, so its almost useless for the average user. [18:52] hi guys [18:52] Losha: Ext4, what is the top-level directory and how do I check the permissions? [18:52] wizard_: the speed difference between 32 and 64bit is not really noticable.. unless you use some very specific comparison cases [18:52] http://vasilisgreece.blogspot.com [18:52] hey guys.. I'm trying to install ubuntu to a fakeraid 0 - the install went fine, it asked me if I wanted to activate my raid, etc... however now when it tries to boot I just get a blinking cursor [18:52] hello [18:52] all [18:53] hmmm [18:53] people [18:53] vasilis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:53] ranjan : you are supposed to ask your questions directly [18:53] ok [18:53] eax: where is the volume mounted? Usually /media/somewhere? See anything like that? [18:53] Can i send only name? [18:53] wizard_: I wouldn't say useless.. we have to start using it at some point.. we'll need that extra memory soon [18:53] Losha: /media/sdd1 - Seems like Root owns it, permissions are: "drwxr-xr-x" [18:54] anyone have experience installing to a sata raid ? [18:55] http://vasilisgreece.blogspot.com [18:55] anyone with a thinkpad here? my leds for battery and power supply are both on if i am using the power supply; is that okay / normal? [18:55] wizard_: I look at it the other way around.. unless there is a specific reason to use 32bit I would go with 64bit [18:55] eax: to make it writable by anyone, open a terminal, cd /media/sdd1, then sudo chmod -R ugo+rwx . <-- that's a dot there, it's important, don't omit it! [18:55] Losha: Thanks :) Trying that now [18:55] wizard_, i didnt say useless, but little difference for the end user, thats not the same, i think unless there are reasons to stick with 32bit 64bit is recommended [18:55] Problem: Panels (or taskbars) are floating over into my second screen, with a different resoultuin, resuling in not being able to use it properly. Useing Nvidia Twinview on a Laptop... Searched around for a few hours now... [18:56] Losha: Works perfectly! Thanks a lot :D [18:56] vasilis: stop advertising your web site. It's against channel guidelines and will get you banned... [18:56] fr3nzy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs is where id start [18:56] fr3nzy, not to sure on chipsets to recommend though === Rene is now known as Guest94631 [18:56] fr3nzy, nothing involving texas instruments or broadcom in any case :) [18:57] That's a good tip for a start. [18:57] hi can any1 give me the link to karmic koala's alternate iso image download page? [18:57] fr3nzy, anyway try to do a normal install with gui and see what ubuntu comes up with in terms of drivers, but i never had much luck with it [18:57] deostroll: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [18:57] !alternate | deostroll [18:57] deostroll: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [18:57] should my raid partition show up as system type GPT ? [18:58] deostroll: or you meant a direct link to the iso file? [18:58] Maybe I should just ask generally. Since I might be spending some cash in the near future on my wifi hardware, what good wifi card + wifi ADSL router combo would you guys recommend for ubuntu? [18:58] fr3nzy, you can get it to work though via ndiswrapper, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434983 [18:58] how can i search the repository for firefox extensions? [18:58] Thanks, acicula, I'll look into it. [18:58] laron_: search for "firefox extension" in synaptic? or use apt-cache [18:59] fr3nzy, iirc the open source acx only does wep anyway [18:59] laron_: I usually install extensions from the mozilla site though [18:59] deostroll: 2nd link in google. Sometimes I think you're just not trying: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ [18:59] laron_: visit the mozilla website. That's where FireFox extensions live. [18:59] I am having problems installing the cloud with 1 controller and 1 node. Once started, the node dies suddenly [18:59] !google Losha [19:00] Acicula, and info about the stability opf the driver? Did it diconnect often? [19:00] im working with the ltsp environment so i need to use the command line, and im interested in which extensions are in the repository [19:00] Losha: thanx... [19:00] i think apt-cache search "firefox extensions" will work [19:00] thanks [19:00] fr3nzy: You want a router that can do wpa encryption and a wifi card that justworks without having to mess with installing drivers (which includes using ndiswrapper) [19:00] wizard_: despite channel policy, I think people should google first, then ask irc... [19:00] I just tried to update and its stalling at 99% [Waiting for headers] whats wrong here? [19:01] Losha: I agree, 100% [19:01] oh i see what it is [19:01] balsaq: network constipation, just be patient. Probably not on your end... [19:01] More or less soreau. Foremost I'd like it to work properly, wothout the random disconnects and large losses of packets. [19:01] fr3nzy, ndiswrapper works a little but as awhole is quite horrible [19:02] I've heard that before, acicula. [19:02] hi, how can I know whats the lastest version of the driver iwl3945 [19:02] fr3nzy: I use atheros chipsets and the ath*k drivers which seems to work quite well [19:02] fr3nzy, it was 15 euro to get an atheros chipset that worked properly. Re the acx driver the last frontpage update is from 2006, are you sure it just hasnt been dropped from the ubuntu kernel? [19:03] It hasn't because the normal desktop install seems to get the drivers working. [19:03] fr3nzy: any router which can run tomato firmware is a good bet & well tested with plenty of support: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato [19:03] lol [19:03] Thanks Losha. [19:03] Question: Panels are floating over into my second screen, with a different resoultion, so i can't see ot all. I'm Useing Nvidia Twinview on a Laptop... Searched around for a few hours now, can't seem to find a soulution to this... Is there a way to tell X where the panels should start\end [19:03] anyone from lebanon here ? [19:03] fr3nzy, oh ok, does it work with wpa too then? [19:04] hi, what's the package name for a iwl3945 wireless card [19:04] !iwl3945 [19:04] I don't think so, no. [19:04] which version did "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"will install? [19:04] how do i get skype chaps [19:05] I just tried to uninstall google-chrome but it won't let me remove the url from the software source, it only lets me uncheck the box [19:05] sine`, getdeb.net [19:05] fr3nzy, im curious where it pulls the driver from then, when i google on acx100 ubuntu i just get a few dated pages and not much eles [19:05] Hey peeps.. anyone know how to make your menubars/panels transparent? [19:05] Anyone please :which version of kde did "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"will install? [19:05] DrDank, right click on the panel and change the transparency [19:05] same here acicula [19:05] airtonix, i mean window panels [19:05] DrDank, right click [19:05] enthus: kde4 I believe, but I dont use it so im not positive [19:06] CharbeL: might find someone in #ubuntu-arabic [19:06] DrDank, window frames, can be made transparent if you are using compiz and emerald [19:06] i can't move a folder from my laptop to my server by nautilus with ssh, can someone help me?? [19:06] so I need emerald also? [19:06] DrDank: no. [19:06] !stream [19:06] I just tried to uninstall google-chrome but it won't let me remove the url from the software source, it only lets me uncheck the box. how do i fix this? [19:06] Hey guys I'm wondering how to open rar files in ubuntu? [19:06] DrDank, yes and an emerald theme that makes them transparent [19:06] wizard_: Could you please tell me the exact version like 4.4.X? [19:07] balsaq: sudo apt-get remove google-chrome [19:07] sate: using unrar.. :-) [19:07] DrDank: there are several "Window Managers" that allow for transparent window decorations. Compiz is the most pouplar, but if you prefer lightweight Window Managers like Fluxbox, that works too. [19:07] I guess I might try the ndsiwrapper, and if it doesn't help much I'll have to invest some money in new wifi hardware. [19:07] wizard, I have Compiz.. [19:07] sate: lol [19:07] noren, its already been removed [19:07] im on like 4 hours of sleep lol [19:07] thx Losha [19:07] noren, the problem is that the link in the software source, it won't let me delete it [19:07] jaypur: does it have to be via nautilus? If ssh works, scp is a good way to copy stuff... [19:07] sate: you have to install unrar first from your synaptic package manager or through terminal! [19:07] any idea how to get multiple screens working on ubuntu [19:07] Losha, scp? [19:08] wael, right click [19:08] yup doing it now [19:08] Losha, i want to move some files to my server, from my laptop to some directories of the server [19:08] sate: after that use this command "unrar -e [19:08] jaypur: it's a copying tool that comes with the ssh package. Like cp only for copying *between* systems... [19:09] Yup got it working thanks enthus [19:09] noren, the problem is that the link in the software source, it won't let me delete it [19:09] noren, the problem is that the link in the software source, it won't let me delete it [19:09] need help here listening to audio stream frm CLI !!

[19:12] how can i reach my computer through my modem [19:12] Question: Panels appear on both screens, with different resoultions, so i can't see all of the panel, because some of it is outside both the screens. I'm Useing Nvidia Twinview on a Laptop... Searched around for a few hours now, can't seem to find a soulution to this... Is there a way to tell X where the panels should start\end within the virtual monitor... [19:12] balsaq: open the synaptic and remove the google repository [19:12] noren_, there is nothing google highlighted in synaptic [19:12] aouldr78, type /join #ubuntu-server [19:13] CharbeL: I will make a note of that. Many channels are much slower than this one, and you just have to be patient in those other channels. If you want to ask your question in English here, that is fine too... === hassan is now known as Guest68933 [19:13] Losha, its like, from home of the laptop, to the home of the server, and its a folder... just that simples... [19:13] noren_, oh i see [19:13] noren_, thats where the problem is, it won't let me delete it [19:13] balsaq: run sudo apt-get update >> once [19:13] jaypur: if you tell me the actual names, I can tell you the exact syntax of the command you need to type.. [19:13] i have so many questions to ask [19:14] CharbeL: we may tell you to go and do some reading then. That's ok.... [19:14] Losha, i don't know the names anymore, because i'm looking at the phisical server right now, trying to install phpsys, but you can give me an exemple if you want. =) [19:14] noren_, its still there [19:14] balsaq: you can also rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list [19:14] is there a way to make gedit use same encoding as a windows machine?

[19:16] noren_, how do i do that? [19:16] jaypur: not much to it: On the laptop, open a terminal and try: scp -r source-dir server:target-dir. It will prompt for a password etc. before the copy. [19:16] ... [19:16] CharbeL: start asking... [19:16] hola, channel in spanish, please?

[19:17] any experts on multiple monitors? [19:17] enthus: have you tried to google the answer? If no one here can help you I suggest asking Google. [19:17] enthus: find out with 'apt-cache policy kubuntu-desktop' [19:17] plitter: If your problem is the line breaks, you should just use the unix2dos program [19:17] Advice please: i am currently on ubuntu through wubi. i am going to repartition my hard drive and do dual install. However, i currently have my hard drive partitioned (C and D) in windows. What will happen to these two partitions after i repartition with ubuntu? [19:17] Losha, thats ok [19:17] enthus: in sysnaptic you can see which version will be installed. [19:17] balsaq: google's current practice is to use /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list so just removing the file should work. [19:17] does any1 know how to install phpsys on apache? === haakon97 is now known as haakon87 [19:18] wizard_: yeah..i have forgotten google..Anywayz thanks [19:18] haakon97: i dont know:P but i have already started writing a document in gedit and i have a friend who has windows and want him to get it in the encoding that he can start using straight away [19:18] overclucker, i don't see it in the CLI list just the GUI one [19:18] wizard_: i m installing it from terminal === tjgillies__ is now known as tjgillies [19:18] when using screen-I need to use C-a for something but screen takes that command, what to do? [19:19] Losha, 1st of all i donno which server i should select as a source for updates [19:19] happyface: install byobu, it takes function keys for keybindings [19:19] Guest2643, check this => http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [19:19] the main problem is that google's url is stuck on my software sources list and i can't seem to remove it [19:19] haakon87: and its not the linebreaks, but more the norwegian keys:) === user__ is now known as Wackler1 [19:19] VCoolio: is there another way? this is on a shell which I don't have root [19:20] CharbeL: it almost doesn't matter. The worst that can happen if you choose the 'wrong' server, is that updates will be slow, but it will still work.... [19:20] happyface: C-a a will send a C-a to the process that you're running in screen [19:20] Still got soundproblems, but now some apps have sound some don't [19:20] balsaq: the google repo could be in either /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list [19:20] Wackler1: running 9.10 ?

[19:21] And notepad is supposed to be able to handle that. [19:22] ok Losha why after updating it says that i need to run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible ? [19:22] Wackler1: there are different versions. Do you know which one you are running? [19:22] If you use more advanced text editors in windows like SciTE, which is godmode, it can set it's encoding to whatever you want it to be. (You want it to be unicode for java for instance). [19:22] Losha 9.10.30 ... i think [19:23] overclucker, so just simply deleting should fix it? [19:23] happyface: byobu is in the end a extended screen-profile; maybe you can filter it from the source and put it in your home dir at the right places which I don't know [19:23] exi [19:23] balsaq: yeah, i did the same thiing yesterday [19:23] how do i get gtk+-2.0?

[19:24] xx [19:24] apt-get update [19:25] oops [19:25] hello [19:25] Losha it's the 7th guide on sound issues and I tought i had a Alsa problem till Opera stgarted to play sound.. [19:25] thanks VCoolio I'll check it out [19:25] hello [19:26] !hi | ranjan [19:26] ranjan: 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! [19:26] overclucker, its still there [19:26] seanbrystone: it's called libgtk2.0-dev I think, depending on your release version. Try apt-cache search gtk | egrep lib | egrep 2 === kristopher_ is now known as k-dawg [19:26] Wackler1: sound is a mess on ubuntu (and many other distros). Sorry, that's just how it is.... [19:27] VCoolio, and Losha thanks it worked :) [19:27] Losha why after updating, ubuntu software center stopped working (i can't install new applications) and why it says that i need to run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible ? [19:28] I can't send mail using mail(1) [19:28] CharbeL: sorry, I don't really know. Are you going to run an upgrade? [19:28] Losha the funny thing is i gave up.... all of the sudden ( no pulse ) on my machine rigth now opera startsw to play sound... grml [19:28] hi [19:28] Wackler1: like I said, a mess.... [19:28] such a simple thing (should be) and i cant do it :( change my boot order on grub [19:29] Losha, that's why i'm here to know if i run partial upgrade or no :) [19:29] dabaR: mail to where, and what happens? [19:29] can anyone help? [19:29] CharbeL: if you can, make a backup first. Occasionally and upgrade can break things... [19:29] seanscot_: edit /etc/default/grub [19:29] Losha and sound stoped working all of the sudden as well no internet at the time no updates nada.... funny... a mess as you say [19:29] !ask | seanscot_ [19:29] seanscot_: 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. :-) [19:29] !ask| seanscot_ [19:29] http://vasilisgreece.blogspot.com/ [19:30] hello, is it possible to disable ahci? [19:30] hey erusil [19:30] erusul [19:30] dabaR: mail needs a mta running or maybe some nullmailer like ssmtp or msmtp iirc [19:30] !ops | greecy vasilis is back spamming his web site again... [19:30] i think it has problem with nvidia's interrupt [19:30] Losha: Ohai. [19:30] Losha, how can i make a backup ? [19:30] thats the answer im getting online [19:30] !mta [19:30] but i dunno what it means [19:30] greecy vasilis is back spamming his web site again...: Help! Channel emergency!

[19:30] A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [19:31] hello [19:31] Losha, today it's my first day on ubuntu lol i just installed it [19:31] yeah charbel , people expect u to know everything on the first day [19:31] get used to it [19:31] lol [19:32] CharbeL: in that case, I'm guessing you don't have any data to lose, so you can probably not worry about a backup. Just do the upgrade. If it all goes horribly wrong, you can just reinstall and try again, right? [19:32] i dunno why its so difficult to change boot order [19:32] what a pain [19:32] Why can't I send email with mail(1) [19:32] wat a plan [19:32] when is lucid lynx coming out? [19:32] anyone? [19:33] seanscot_: because it depends in part on the hardware/bios cooperating. That's always a mess... [19:33] neo__, 45 days [19:33] neo__: 10.04 [19:33] neo__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [19:33] i installed ubuntu from my camera [19:33] damn [19:33] dbernar1: weren't you just here as dbaR? [19:33] right Losha [19:33] Losha: yes [19:33] neo__, the beta is coming out like in 5 days [19:33] i guess uninstalling ubunty could be messy too [19:33] dbernar1: planning to answer my question, or just ignore me? [19:33] VCoolio: thanks, byobu looks a lot better than screen! wow [19:33] seanbrystone, beat1 in 3 days [19:33] Losha: I got disconnected, hence the new nick :) [19:33] yeah my bad [19:33] Losha: what was the question? [19:34] just checked [19:34] :) [19:34] i have installed inside windows [19:34] happyface: I know, I'm in it right now ;) much easier too [19:34] will upgrading be a problem [19:34] dbernar1: in that case, can you tell me: mail to where, and what happens when you try and send it... [19:34] anyone run into an issue w/ wine not displaying checkboxes in windows/apps? [19:34] VCoolio: I'll definitely use it when I can, I wish I could install it on this other shell I need to use :( [19:34] since i think it uses ntfs not ext4 [19:34] No i did not [19:35] damn [19:35] neo__: a wubi install? [19:35] maybe i need to just do a clean xp install [19:35] happyface: you could maybe compile it and install to your home directory; but you may miss dependencies to build it [19:35] and throw in the towel with ubuntu lol [19:35] neo__: if yuo did a WUBI install then it creates a big file on the windows ntfs partition, which contains the ext3/4 partition for Ubuntu [19:35] VCoolio: hmm yea I was thinking that, might give it a try [19:35] Where can I find a reference to what is intended to be stored in ~/.local/share/ ? [19:36] seanscot_: what's the problem again? I only saw you ask something about boot order [19:36] Losha: mail to external destinations, and I just basically know that I get no email on the other end. [19:36] i just cant change the boot order [19:36] i tried following instructions on the forums [19:36] dbernar1: do you have a mail backend installed and configured e.g. sendmail or postfix or something? [19:36] Will upgrade be a problem for me then? [19:36] but i cant edit any of the files [19:36] seanscot_, i'm not here to know everything on the first day but at least to get help with some problems [19:36] seanscot_: what do you mean by "boot order"? [19:36] ah i just mean in grub [19:36] it can mean different things [19:36] psusi, I think seanscot_ wants to have grub default to booting windows [19:36] aconran: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ , maybe [19:37] instead of ubuntu being the default i need it to be xp [19:37] you mean you just want to change the order the entries appear on the menu in? [19:37] yeah [19:37] <[eXception]> hi [19:37] so that the 9s thing is on xp [19:37] overclucker, thx [19:37] seanscot_: grub-set-default [19:37] <[eXception]> whats the best ppa for latest thunderbird ? [19:38] overclucker, it doesn't even mention it :-/ [19:38] sorry psusi , but where do i type that into ? [19:38] Losha: Looks like it was spam blocker! [19:38] hi [19:38] i faced problem while cleaning upbootloader of windows [19:38] i tried to remove wubi but it does not go [19:38] hi, could someone help me? i was trying to install thinkfinger and now i can't login [19:38] dbernar1: cool, so it's working now? [19:38] seanscot_: in a terminal window... sudo grub-set-default x where is is the number of the entry starting with 0 [19:39] is there a way to install only selected packets when installing ubuntu ? (i.e. i only want openssh then install each packet individually) [19:39] aconran: no? wish I knew where to find ubuntu's file hierarchy sceme [19:39] Losha: not 100% sure. Goes to my gmail fine, internally on the server, but not when sent to my domain. [19:39] !minimal | gaspard [19:39] gaspard: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:39] Losha: or so it seems. [19:39] wow! that seems to have worked! [19:39] Hi! How do I install the nvidia grafikdriver for Xubuntu? [19:39] overclucker, http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html [19:40] overclucker, http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2008-November/009999.html [19:40] il brb and let u know how i got on :) [19:40] hi [19:40] i faced problem while cleaning up bootloader of windows [19:40] i tried to remove wubi but it does not go [19:40] anybody??/ [19:40] neo__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:40] happyface: check out the 3rd option here; works with a ~/.screenrc it seems; https://launchpad.net/byobu [19:40] dbernar1: does your mail prog have a verbose mode (-v). Also, you can check the maillog for clues (/var/log/mail*) [19:41] so what do i do if i do not get answers Sir? shall i not ask again [19:41] thnx overclucker , but don't have any cd rom drive on my server and the usb-creator doesn't seem to work with mini.iso .... i am trying ubuntu-server [19:41] Hi! How do I install the nvidia grafikdriver for Xubuntu? [19:42] neo__: you should write your question on 1 line.. if you don't get an answer you should wait 10-15 minutes before repeating.. use the time to search forums, improve the question, provide more details and so on [19:42] neo__: the floodbot reacts to several lines by the same person within a short period of time. [19:42] that's because i install from usb stick [19:42] Is anyone aware of any projects looking to implement a Gnome like clone (rather than Kde) in Qt? [19:42] Slart:I have been working on this problem for a week or so [19:43] did not get any solution..pardon me [19:43] aconran: because the world needs another clone of gnome? [19:43] damn , that didnt work :( [19:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/395771/ please take a look - what could be causing this. the pc disconnects from wifi very often [19:43] *sighs* [19:43] Losha, right :) [19:44] seanscot_, what did it do? [19:44] hi, could someone help me? i was trying to install thinkfinger and now i can't login [19:44] neo__: from the 4 lines you wrote before I can't really say if I know the answer to your problem or not.. provide details about version of ubuntu, error messages, what you're trying to achieve and so on [19:44] Losha, I just prefer the Qt api as opposed to gtk... but can't stand using KDE in comparison to gnome [19:44] sudo grub-set-default 10 [19:44] Losha: Thanks, I was looking for the log and for some reason did not find it, although it was right in /var/log/mail.* [19:45] anyone able to tell me if the LTS version of ubuntu supports raid /lvm/ and grub2? [19:45] seanscot_, and what did it change? [19:45] Losha: It was denied by spamhaus something [19:45] it asked me for the password [19:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/395771/ please take a look - what could be causing this. the pc disconnects from wifi very often [19:45] but it didnt do anything when i rebooted [19:45] Slart: I installed ubuntu using Wubi .Now when iremoved it and tried normal install,the bootloader does not detect the new version...how do i remove the previous GRUB n replace the WUBI grub with a normal one [19:45] aconran: I don't use either, but certain kde apps are better than their gnome counterparts e.g. k3b, klibido. I'd be happy if they'd just fix more gnome bugs... [19:46] problem is with Grub not WUbi [19:47] neo__: I have no idea what wubi does or how it handles grub and booting.. on a normal system you run "sudo update-grub" and it looks around for operating systems to boot and puts them in a boot menu [19:47] Slart : Also Wubi has a limited space of #) GB only for ubuntu...i need to give it 50 GB how do i do it???? any idea...my drive on which ubuntu is stored is a 50 gb drive.... [19:47] ok ive just installed "startup manager" [19:47] gonna reboot and see if changing it on that works [19:47] cheers [19:48] seanscot_: I'm not sure if startup-manager works on the new grub [19:48] Also Wubi has a limited space of 30 GB only for ubuntu...i need to give it 50 GB how do i do it???? any idea...my drive on which ubuntu is stored is a 50 gb drive.... [19:48] neo__: create second disk for your /home? [19:48] Losha: and I requested that it be removed, so should be fine after that. Thanks again. [19:48] It it safe to upgrade to the new grub..i am a bit afraid [19:48] :q [19:48] neo__: it has been working for me :) [19:48] neo__ you don't have too [19:49] how do i do that slacker_al [19:49] VCoolio: there's instructions on what to do if you don't have root in the byobu readme [19:49] I am much of a new bie.Some guide will be nice. [19:49] happyface: cool, you're settled then [19:50] anyone able to tell me if any of the installers support raid /lvm besides karmic 9.1 alternative cd? [19:51] I tried GRUB 1.97 beta in the new fedora 12. It could not detect Windows as second OS ,thats why i am scared [19:51] can someone help me install nvidia drivers [19:51] I would prefer the lts version but it doesnt appear the installer supports raid/lvm/grub2 without some finagling === mgagne is now known as wftl [19:51] i gonna try ubuntu server, thnx 4 help [19:51] have nvidia 9400 [19:51] harry-houdini1: I don't think the regular desktop installer handles raid/lvm.. not sure if there are an other, more exotic, installers out there.. I would go with the alternate installer if I needed raid/lvm... the system itself will be the same after the install.. it's just the installer that is text based [19:51] hi all [19:51] quick question if I may [19:51] Anyone?? [19:51] markdymek_: System>Admin...>hardware drivers does not work ? [19:51] neo__: http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=223945 < have a look in this guys sig, he has plenty on grub2, click on about me [19:51] dmweyer: go ahead.. ask [19:52] neo__: grub2 takes for ever to load, for many people [19:52] can anyone tell me how I can connect to a pop3 account to see how many emails are on the server for that account? [19:52] VCoolio: yea you just download a compressed file and extract to home, it then works when you just use "screen" normally [19:52] hols [19:52] Slart,does the latest release of the LTS have an alternate cd that supports the raid and lvm I am trying to get away from karmic...I have been very unhappy with it [19:52] overclucker: so what are u suggesting [19:52] dmweyer: a mail notification program ? [19:52] neo__: try it and find out... as long as you have your livecd you can always go back if it doesn't work out [19:52] Somebody please tell me the point of LTS releases. Does it mean that if I use LTS I end up with older versions of packages? [19:53] En l'islam, el dejuni del mes de ramadà (sawm), és el quart pilar de l'islam. El dejuni es recomana també en altres èpoques de l'any, però durant el ramadà és obligatori per a tothom que pugui fer-lo (estan exempts de complir amb el dejuni les dones embarassades o en període de menstruació, els malalts, els infants abans de la pubertat i els viatgers, entre d'altres). Es fa durant... [19:53] !LTS | elnur [19:53] elnur: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [19:53] ...tots els... [19:53] well dont really need notifications, just more like a once in a while to see if there is mail waiting to be fetched [19:53] ...dies del mes des de la sortida fins la posta de sol, i implica diverses nocions: [19:53] 1. La intenció (نِيَّة niyya): s'ha de fer la primera nit que precedeix el dejuni. [19:53] 2. Abstenir-se (إمساك imsāk) de menjar, beure o fumar. [19:53] guillem_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:53] 3. Abstenir-se de mantenir relacions sexuals (جماع ǧimā‘) durant el dia. [19:53] harry-houdini1: the latest LTS release is 8.04.. I comes as a regular desktop install, alternate install.. I suppose there is a server installer too if you want that [19:53] use grub .97 unless you are feeling esplorative [19:53] elnur: they are supported for more time [19:53] yeah but in this new grub i do not know how to restore the grub... [19:53] harry-houdini1: if you mean 10.04 it isn't released yet [19:53] I just added an ATI Radeon x300 PCI-e graphics card to my system. Can someone point me to the documentation on how to get it going? Searching Google didn't produce. [19:54] slart, ah well then there is some hope of support of raid and lvm on the 8.04 release then , next question is will i be able to preserve my karmic home directory with it? [19:54] dmweyer: maybe getmail or fetchmail can do that [19:54] seanbrystone, erUSUL, I understand that. But I don't understand what that means. I know that their repos will be kept alive longer, but do their repos get latest versions of packages? [19:54] FrozenFire: it should just work (tm) [19:54] will that download the mail or just reply with a count of how many email are on the server/ [19:54] FrozenFire: go to system, admin, hardware drivers [19:54] Where do I go to report a bug with the Ubuntu website? [19:54] neo__: you mean go back to grub legacy? run grub-setup from the livecd [19:54] elnur: no; [19:54] !latest | elnur [19:54] elnur: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [19:55] erUSUL: Specifically, I'm looking to use the card's S-Video out to my TV [19:55] At present, it doesn't output anything [19:55] KB1JWQ: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/ [19:55] harry-houdini1: yes.. you can install it and preserve the home folder.. I'm not sure if it all the software will like it though... if something has changed the config file format since 8.04 was released it might not understand the files in your home folder.. documents and such shouldn't be a problem though [19:55] elnur, ubuntu is not a distro for "Just-Released-This-Minute" packages tend to be pretty old for stability reasons... [19:55] FrozenFire: System>Pereferences>screen resolution does not work ? [19:56] Pici: Thanks. [19:56] harry-houdini1: I still strongly recommend backups.. as always.. there are plenty of opportunities to make mistakes.. and recoving hundreds of files is soo boring.. if even possible [19:56] erUSUL: I assume you mean Display. I'm on 9.10. Nothing shows but my primary onboard graphics. [19:56] erUSUL, OK. So Ubuntu doesn't use latest versions. But compared to newer releases of the same Ubuntu, do LTS releases get those new versions, or stay with version that came out with LTS release and just get security fixes? [19:56] Pici: Hahahaha Nuzum runs that? I know him, I'm seeing him on Wednesday I think. [19:56] ok thanks I guess I will try it then , hope to god it's a better experience than karmic has been...Yes i have made a backup very recently so that wont be a problem [19:56] FrozenFire: ok try with grandr [19:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/395771/ please take a look - what could be causing this. the pc disconnects from wifi very often [19:57] !info grandr | FrozenFire [19:57] FrozenFire: grandr (source: grandr): gtk interface to xrandr. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1+git20080326-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 128 kB [19:57] seanbrystone, OK. So Ubuntu doesn't use latest versions. But compared to newer releases of the same Ubuntu, do LTS releases get those new versions, or stay with version that came out with LTS release and just get security fixes? [19:57] erUSUL: I tried xrandr --auto, but it didn't show anything. I'll try grandr, but I am fairly familiar with the CLI, if that's more efficient. [19:57] ok, another shell scripting question, in csh i want to set a variable as todays date in yyyymmdd format, i use set DATE='date +%Y%m%d' but that sets it litterally as that text but that works fine in bash.. how can i do this in csh? [19:58] i've a question-- i can connect to my wireless connectnio with the linux computer but not with another computer with win 7-- do you know what might cause it? [19:58] I tried #linux, but they dont know... How do I open a folder for browsing in the terminal? *in windows this is start .* [19:58] are you using ' of ` ? [19:58] or* [19:58] ' [19:58] FrozenFire: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#xf86-video-ati_.28The_radeon_driver.29 [19:59] KB1JWQ: Good, then you can bug him :) [19:59] solow: there is "gnome-open" [19:59] FrozenFire: see this wiki it has the xrandr incantations to S-Video [19:59] elnur: LTS releases get security fixes and bugfixes, but no new features. This means that over time, LTS gets more and more stable, but falls further and further behind in terms of new features. So you get to choose: do you want stability, or new features? If stability, use the LTS, if new features, use the latest release (9.10)... [19:59] natrixnatrix89: Looks like poor signal (gets no response from AP/Wireless router) but I'm no expert on this. Anyone else able to shed some light on it? [19:59] hi. ive a question: ive got ubuntu 9.10: How am i able to set the vlc player as my default video application? [19:59] Slart, is this distro language, or linux language. because my code has to work on all linux distros. [19:59] Pici: Doing so. [19:59] erUSUL: Would I need to install the proprietary driver for radeon? [20:00] solow: if you want to be specific you can also try things like "nautilus" or "thunar" [20:00] elnur, Losha said it best, sorry I was fumbling around with making lables for my folders :) [20:00] ceterus: that wont work in bash eiother ' ' is not the ame as ` ` [20:00] solow: afaik gnome-open would work if gnome is installed and running.. there's probably something else for KDE or xfce [20:00] localnutter: yeah, The signal quality is changing all the time - from 0% to 70 [20:00] FrozenFire: no; that is not possible for a X300 afaik [20:00] ahh ill try that, sorry for the silly mistake [20:01] Athlan: System - Preferences - Preferred Applications [20:01] localnutter: should i type in vlc? [20:01] Slart, and gnome is pretty much always there, right? or only on ubuntu? [20:01] solow: if you're writing an app that has to open a file browsing window I would suggest making this command configurable.. that way distro's can change it to whatever they want for their packages [20:01] ceterus: anyway in bash is cleaner to use $() (dunno if it works in csh frankly i thought that csh was going the way of the dodo) [20:01] Losha, Thanks for the answer I was looking for. One more question though: I use Debian now because of stability concerns. But Ubuntu has never versions of software compared to Debian. Is that true for LTS too? Is it as much reliable to use Ubuntu LTS instead of Debian? [20:02] seanbrystone, Yea. But thanks for your answers too. :) [20:02] natrixnatrix89: Could be something else interfering. Maybe another AP on the same channel, or something else running on 2.4GHz (microwaves, video senders, doorbells, baby monitors etc). [20:02] :D [20:02] erUSUL, Thank you for you answers. [20:02] erUSUL, sadly the program i am using requires it otherwise i would never consider csh [20:02] elnur: no problem [20:02] solow: Gnome is pretty big.. but so is KDE .. I doubt any desktop enviroment has over 50% [20:02] hey people, can any1 help me recover grub2? [20:02] Slart, Problem is, i'm working on the php version atm. So it has to be done using command line tool... [20:02] Marjorie Shapiro, physicist at CERN: "There's a tendency for people who aren't experts, to think, if you pay money it must be a better product." [20:02] Athlan Yes. Should be enough :) [20:02] how do i disable gpg check in apt? [20:02] localnutter: dont think so.. Other computers on this network work fine.

[20:03] kleus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:04] natrixnatrix89 Possibly. What's the chipset? And is it next to your other PCs? Can you put it in close proximity to the AP with line of sight?

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+) [20:04] localnutter: How can I then set Exaile as the default audioplayer, whereas vlc should stay the default one for videos? [20:04] guys I have a 8 part splitted rar file, when i try to uncompress one part it only works with the file on that part, and in windows uncompressing one part uncompress the entire file. How can I do that in Ubuntu? [20:04] kleus, what's your problem after trying that solution? [20:04] but i want to disable checking gpg [20:04] phrix: ouch sorry; llutz already told you ... [20:04] another wierd think is also related to display .. if the laptop lid is closed all the way i am not getting any gnome menu bar on the top .. [20:04] elnur: that's hard to answer, as I don't use debian, and there are different repositories for debian so people can make the same tradeoffs of stability vs. features. I *can* tell you that 32-bit 8.04 LTS is very stable, and almost any significant problem you encounter with it will have been see already and have a fix or a workaround. That said, the ultimate in server stability is probably centos.... [20:04] solow: there might very well be.. but I don't know it.. it would make sense to have an enviroment variable or similar [20:04] pk__: that's dangerous/not possible [20:05] corpogen: unrar the last, the .rar file [20:05] llutz, erUSUL, thx.. :D [20:05] localnutter: Linksys WUSB54G Wireless Adapter [20:05] in yum we use to do --nogpgcheck [20:05] what is the exact purpose of the sticky bit? thats 'chmod 1777 folder' ? [20:05] elnur i'll try the overwriting the master boot record that i didn't tried earlier [20:05] corpogen: "unrar x file.r00" has allways worked for me [20:05] localnutter: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13b1:000d Linksys WUSB54G Wireless Adapter [20:05] Slart, well, if i knew what was being used, gnome or kde *what else is there?* i can decide what set of commands to use for the app. it will work on windows, and all distro's of linux [20:06] its running lets see [20:06] Losha, So, CentOS falls even more behind in features compared to Debian? [20:06] kleus, You have to do that :) [20:06] brontosaurusrex: man chmod has a section on the meaning of the sticky bit.. === WindPower is now known as WindPowdon [20:06] Losha: ok, so thats something that can be found on all posix systems basically? [20:07] Athlan Doesn't seem to offer that sort of granularity. I'll look... [20:07] elnur: I believe so. Centos' primary goal is server stability.... [20:07] Losha, Ok. Thanks again. Got new info to meditate on :) [20:07] brontosaurusrex: yes, I think it's a posix standard... [20:07] the original file was 24 gb total, compressed it takes 7 gb. i wanted to move it to a portable drive but it never finish, i always get a error saying file too big and stoped at 4 gb. that is beacuse of the file system right? [20:07] natrixnatrix89 are you using a native driver or ndiswrapper? And which release of Ubuntu? [20:07] I have an hp pavillion dv6z with integrated fingerprint swiper....how do I find out what my hardware is, and where can i find the driver for it? [20:07] CentOS is RHEL rebranded [20:08] the stuff that say that with ntfs files bigger than 4 gb can not be handled [20:08] correct [20:08] solow: well.. *all* linux distros will be very very hard.. there are linux distros running on small embedded systems.. without any displays at all, with gnome/KDE/xfce/other weird desktop enviroments.. some can use more than one file manager [20:08] corpogen, yes [20:08] localnutter: I'm using the one in the kernel. And I'm using 9.04 [20:08] hi [20:08] corpogen: yes vfat has a 4GiB limit [20:08] If I have done 'dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip > sdb.img.gz' to dd direct to gzipped file, how do I restore using the gzipped file? [20:08] erUSUL, if that was for me, please use my name, because it's hard to track messages with such a pace :) [20:08] is there a way to automatically scale the processor based on if the computer is on battery or ac power? [20:08] localnutter: whats ndiswrapper? [20:09] (20:03:19) solow: Slart, is there a command to ask linux what's installed? that way I can use the terminal what to use. :) [20:09] solow: lsb_release -d [20:09] solow: writing portable programs is an art in itself.... [20:09] solow: I think you might want to aim for "most regular desktop" linux systems.. with KDE/Gnome/xfce you'll probably cover 80% or more.. those last percentages will take lots more work [20:09] wasutton3, cpufreq-applet [20:09] elnur, at step 3, when i type sudo grub-install --root-directory [etc] i get an error [20:09] wasutton3, doesnt switch automatically when on ac though, maybe that can be done via laptop-mode [20:09] the system file on this disk is msdos (right click-properties). which is the file limit for it? [20:09] elnur: grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda5 [20:09] natrixnatrix89 ndiswrapper is for using Windows network drivers in Linux. A last resort! [20:09] acicula: i have that running but i would like it to automatically do that. Ill look into laptop-mode [20:10] corpogen: vfat fat32 msdos all is the same is 4 GiB - 1B [20:10] okay thanks [20:10] elnur nvm [20:10] i am looking for a program that will let me edit the artist/album info on mp3 files (the actual file, nt just in the player like WMA) anyone know of smthin that will work in ubuntu? [20:10] anyone here ever have success using gyachi voice chat? [20:10] kleus, solved? [20:10] Zenker: easytag [20:10] I have an hp pavillion dv6z with integrated fingerprint swiper....how do I find out what my hardware is, and where can i find the driver for it? [20:10] Zenker: anything that edits mp3-tags [20:10] i think so [20:10] wasutton3, or its passed via dbus as an event perhaps, all it takes is an echo into proc [20:10] localnutter: Ok. I'm using the driver that was already in kernel [20:10] Slart, yes. I will. people may request others if they like. but the only problem is, where do i find the system used, and the command for each of these systems. e.g. kde, gnome etc. [20:10] +1 easytag [20:10] Azelphur, what does that command do? [20:10] magedragon25, lspci -vvnn or lsusb === AlexZion_ is now known as AlexZion [20:10] elnur i'm gonna reboot now, if i don't show up, then it's solved, thanks [20:10] easytag for sure [20:10] Zenker: there are a gazillion of those in the repos =).. I've used easytag too [20:10] Zenker: exfalso ♥ [20:11] solow: it tells you the name of the linux distribution you are using (most of the time, some distros don't have lsb_release) [20:11] ty i didnt know what 2 search for rolf [20:11] Zenker: there are tons of them. Every beginning programmer seems to write one. I use mp3info because it's cli-only... [20:11] natrixnatrix89 Which version number is your wifi dongle? There's at least 4 bearing that model number [20:11] solow: as Azelphur suggested.. the lsb modules might be a way.. searching a process list might tell you if gnome/KDE is running.. there might be other ways too [20:11] hi all [20:11] Azelphur, so, if i know the name of the distro, do i by default know what they use? *eg kde, gnome, etc* [20:11] solow: almost all of them have uname though... [20:12] solow: no [20:12] solow: there are entire books published on this topic I believe.... [20:12] I`m using live USB and after every restart my /tmp dir gets empty, how can I stop that [20:12] solow: your writing an app and you want it to work across all distros? [20:12] solow: note that just because you run a certain distro doesn't mean you use the default desktop enviroment.. but it might be a pretty good starting guess [20:12] could someone help me? I can't log in after installing thinkfinger, and all my work are inside ubuntu [20:12] localnutter: I have no idea. It might be the fourth one [20:12] in the matter of fact I want to keep specific file(s) [20:13] now to find a fast way to do em, i have more then 10 gb to do :) [20:13] Zenker: easytag can parse filnames to fill tags and viceversa [20:13] Losha: thanks, its working as it is supposed to [20:13] Azelphur, wellm yes and no. I want it to work on all distro's, eventually. but for now, using gnome, kde etc is enough. I want to know HOW to find out which one the distro uses using the terminal, and what command this desktop enviroment uses to open a folder. [20:13] Zenker: that's why I like mp3info. It's cli. so you can write scripts with it if you know how. GUIs are for people who have time on their hands... [20:13] jhy === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [20:14] hi, I have Ubuntu Netbook Remix and I wonder how I can make a specific app not auto-maximize the window, specifically it's aMSN that I don't want to do that [20:14] it already works for pidgin etc. [20:15] natrixnatrix89 Might have an answer for you then - Follow this link: http://tredosoft.com/rt2870_ubuntu it seems 9.04 and 9.10 have been affected by this. [20:15] Im having problems trying to run a patch on a jar file with java -jar file.jar heres a paste of the error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DxFzCWNY [20:16] localnutter: thanks [20:18] When I plug in an SD card, it mounts with permissions belonging to 'root' so I can't do anything with the files there. What's the preferred solution for fixing that? [20:18] g0ldfinGa: what does "java -version" says on your system? [20:18] 1.5.0 [20:18] JamVM version 1.5.3 [20:18] ok easy tag isnt working right, every time i click anywher it jumps up or down [20:19] i had 2 kill it, i couldnt even hit the x button [20:20] Athlan I've been looking, the best solution I can offer is to right click on say an MP3 file, click on "Properties", then click on the "Open With" tab and select "Exaile". This will associate all MP3s with Exaile. Repeat for OGG files etc. [20:21] anyone here ever have success using gyachi voice chat? [20:21] localnutter: THX [20:21] Hello [20:21] :) [20:21] what should the permissions be set to on /usr/man ? [20:23] hi all .. question [20:23] Haegin: I don't have a /usr/man? But I would think it would be 755. [20:23] Iqbal: Hi [20:23] ls -l [20:23] :) [20:24] Haegin: Yeah, should be 755. [20:24] * Boondoklife stomps: wrong window [20:24] how did you get the long string though image this hard drive .. and drop it onto another laptop .. idon't want to have to upgrade or anything .. the image will have all updates is this poosible ? [20:24] macman_: Are the laptops the same? [20:25] anyone here ever have success using gyachi voice chat? [20:25] Haegin: /usr/share/man you meant? root root 755 [20:25] what does it mean if a folder name is with a green background when doing ls? [20:25] i know green name is executable, cyan is symlink [20:25] Hi all: is there a way to enable the "ll" command in ubuntu? [20:26] Athlan, what is it supposed to do? [20:26] Some employees are visiting sites they shouldn't. I don't much feel like installing squid. What's a quick 'n easy way to blacklist a few domains? [20:26] Athlan:add alias ll="ls -la " to ~/.bashrc [20:26] jim---, drop the ip's on the gateway [20:27] jim--- you could do it easily with iptables [20:27] red: you could always read the output of « dircolors » [20:27] red: just do ls -l it should give you all the info you need on the file. [20:27] I thought iptables was all tcp/ip layer stuff [20:27] llutz: thanks [20:27] localnutter: thanks [20:27] jim---, tcp/ip is what you need to block [20:27] red: But I believe it means it is a+rwx [20:27] how do i know there has been an IP conflict recently ??? any logs ??? [20:27] ./lumpy === Hans_Henrik_ is now known as Hans_Henrik [20:27] Boondoklife: no they are not [20:27] jim---, otherwise you have to move up to the app level(http ie squid) [20:27] acicula: how do I set up a rule to block domains? [20:27] llutz: would the same be true for /usr/info? [20:28] i know if you use opendns, you are able to manage blacklist, [20:28] ./lumpy [20:28] acicula: in particular I need to block wildcard subdomains, so I have no idea how many IP addresses the subs may map to. [20:28] overclucker: hey that's not a bad idea. [20:28] Haegin: again, /usr/share/info? yes [20:28] jim---, you cant block domains, domains are names, that resolve to tcp/ips, you block ips [20:28] llutz where is this directory situated? [20:29] resolve to ip adresses i mean [20:29] x [20:29] llutz: mine are in /usr not in /usr/share... [20:29] acicula: but I can't know all the ips. I understand your suggestion now but it won't work out. [20:29] Haegin: why? [20:29] llutz where is this directory or located? Home folder? [20:29] I guess I will go install an http proxy. sigh.. :P [20:29] Athlan: "nano ~/.bashrc" [20:29] How do i get my webcam to work with 8.04? [20:29] jim---, well you can block the dns requests, but then people can just use the ip adresses directly to access the sites [20:29] llutz: I don't know - I just keep getting permission errors on /usr/man when it installs software [20:30] I also have a /usr/share/man/ [20:30] macman_: I dont have much experience with moving and install cross different pc's. Ubuntu is fairly forgiving though. As long as they are the same architecture and dont need different proprietary drivers, I would think you'd be fine. [20:30] acicula: iff the webserver's set up without name-based vhosting, yeah. not a good bet. [20:30] Haegin: /usr/share/man it should be, seems you installed some stuff mixing it up [20:30] jim---, dont forget the firewall rules after installing squid ;) === IceW is now known as Guest53417 === bubuub is now known as gossetttt === gossetttt is now known as Tupaka [20:31] jim---, no i mean you dont need to get to a site via its dns name, just the ip. so if you filter dns requests people can still reach the site [20:31] hey, just got rid of vista and installed 9.10 today. [20:32] acicula: right but a lot of sites only work right if the correct HTTP Host header is included in the request. [20:32] acicula: "a lot" is not "all" though, so your point is taken,. [20:32] Is it possible to apply some sound filters/effect globally to all sound in system? [20:32] TannerF: No quick answer to that - it depends on the chipset. The gspca based cameras tend to be a bit hit and mess [20:32] * Tupaka saluda [20:32] acicula, afaik far less then should :D [20:33] oh [20:33] TannerF: *miss*, while UVC based webcams tend to work out of the box. I'd suggest going to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam and starting there. [20:33] jim---: if you have a linux box rpoviding DNS, you could always put the domains mapped to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts [20:33] okay [20:33] red: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/395796/ [20:34] jim---: there is a similar feature for Windows [20:34] jim---, also then people could just put the ip in the host file and work as normal [20:34] I want to make a video of my computer screen. What is a tool, that fits a slow computer best and, if possible, is easy to use? [20:34] hello!!!!!!!!! [20:34] hmw: xvidcap ? [20:34] !list [20:34] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:35] how do i know there has been an IP conflict recently ??? any logs ??? [20:35] erUSUL: thanks, i will look into it [20:35] will someone help me with my display, it seems that windows are maximizing larger than the workspace, when i attempt to click on anything in that window it just jumps around idk exactly whats going on but if i rotate the cube i can see the window is way bigger then the workspace its on [20:35] sematicweboholic: ip conflict? [20:35] sound is only coming from my left speaker === Nitro_ is now known as Nitro` [20:35] erUSUL, yes [20:35] how do i get stero sound? [20:35] meganerd: /etc/hosts doesn't support wildcards [20:35] acicula: /etc/hosts is only editable by root :) [20:35] jrib: I dont really get that syntax [20:36] how do i get sound to come from both speakers? [20:36] sematicweboholic: i'm not sure what you mean by that. what is an ip conflict? [20:36] red: erm, it's english (the comments anyway) [20:36] its not hex nor cmyk? [20:36] oh pfft [20:36] hello?? [20:36] my eyes skipped some relevant stuff :) [20:36] HELLO [20:36] red: the color codes are explained in one of the comments [20:37] red: you could also write your own (see dircolors documentation) [20:37] anyone??? [20:37] jim---: I just use squid and very restrictive iptables rules for my clients [20:37] Zenker: if you use the 3d-windows plugin, a maximized window may look double size as your cube, due to some zoom. Perhaps "grabbing" the window with pressed ALT key helps you move it to a better position [20:37] why is sound only coming from one speaker? [20:37] yeah i see it now [20:37] !helpme | markdymek_ [20:37] markdymek_: 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 [20:37] markdymek_ Right click on volume control, Click on "Sound Preferences", Go to the "Output" tab and make sure the balance slider is centred. [20:37] jim---, thats true, but its easy enough to fix in usermode, since its just a basic http header change. anyway just think a sec on how agressive you need to filter and if just talking to people visiting unsuitable sites is more practical? [20:37] it is @localnutter [20:37] since filtering is kinda hard unless you go for whitelisting via a proxy? [20:38] o [20:38] hmw it dosent matter which button/key i press the window jumps up or down, im gonna try and disable the 3d windows plugin [20:38] Zenker: no idea why your window might jump... i'd disable "Wobbly Windows" first [20:38] markdymek_ Oh. Not something really silly like the cable not plugged in properly? I have to ask - I'm a Computer Systems Engineer and you won't BELIEVE how many times this has happened! [20:39] markdymek_: ahte to ask, but are the speaker completely plugged in? [20:39] yes [20:39] good idea, [20:39] acicula: I would just talk to them, yeah. Management wants to do the p-a thing, so *shrug* [20:39] sound works fine on windows [20:39] markdymek_ What's the sound card/chip? [20:40] realtek [20:40] I am having a weird permissions error on Ubuntu 9.10. maybe someone with more knowledge of the mysteries of permissions on Ubuntu can fix it? [20:40] techpraxis: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [20:40] <17SAAL01W> hi guys. I need some assistance with a partition copy, please. I want to migrate an OS on a 4G SD card to a new 8G SD. [20:40] <17SAAL01W> I partitioned the new disk ext4, set the boot flag & then tried both (X being the source, Y being the target) `dd if=/dev/sdX1 of=/dev/sdY1`& `rsync -av /mount/source /mount/target`. [20:40] <17SAAL01W> In both cases I completed the copied, but the systems fails to boot (would've expected the dd to work OK). What did I miss? [20:40] 17SAAL01W: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:40] ok, i disabled wobbly and 3d windows, at least now i can hold down alt and drag the window out of maximize [20:40] how bad an idea is it to attempt to upgrade a hardy vps to karmic ? [20:40] when it has live sites on it [20:41] 17SAAL01W, MBR [20:41] so its probably somethin in compiz u think? [20:41] jbendotnet: depends on how you are doing it and how much time do you have for fixing things if they break [20:41] markdymek_ Not the best chip manufacturer in the world... What's the motherboard? [20:41] 17SAAL01W: mbr [20:41] jbendotnet: have backups but at this point I would wait a month until lucid is released so you can upgrade directly from hardy to lucid instead of having to go hardy -> intrepid -> jaunty -> karmic [20:41] ahh, ok [20:41] i installed karmic on intel board (945gccr) yesterday but video only works 800x600 [20:41] <17SAAL01W> acicula: how to set? in old win days if was "fdisk /mbr" [20:41] ola [20:41] 17SAAL01W: dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/=sdY count=1 bs=445 [20:41] I can wait a month [20:41] jbendotnet: probably is better to wait for lucid (out in april) that is also LTS and can be upgraded to in one step [20:41] !grub2 | 17SAAL01W , its update-grub, look here for further grub stuff [20:42] 17SAAL01W , its update-grub, look here for further grub stuff: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:42] ahh, ok - sounds perfect [20:42] <17SAAL01W> meganerd: thanks. that copies it along withthe MBR? [20:42] 17SAAL01W: dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/=sdY count=1 bs=447 [20:42] 17SAAL01W, also the uuid may have changed so you may have to correct that in fstab [20:42] 17SAAL01W: that only copies the MBR [20:42] 17SAAL01W: it leaves the partition table alone. It is only copiying the first 447 bytes [20:43] is there GPU acceleration for video decoding on ubuntu? [20:43] 17SAAL01W: actually let me double check the number, I do this once or twice a year, and I always end up looking it up === PhilMather_zz is now known as PhilMather [20:43] i installed karmic on intel board (945gccr) yesterday but video only works 800x600. Any help would be appreciated [20:43] <17SAAL01W> meganerd: assume do that *before* copying the rest of the partition? [20:43] MaT-dg, vdpau, only with nvidia chips [20:43] <17SAAL01W> meganerd: thanks. appreciated [20:43] 17SAAL01W: it could be done after [20:43] for intel its "planned", dunno about ati [20:44] why are there md5sums on downloads?

It is not showing up in the menu. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/190052/ [21:31] techpraxis: nothing to do with ubuntu - its the same in every system I know [21:31] aurelien, what can i dot with that kernel? I get 2.6.33 when installing the latest wubi version right? [21:31] ty for whom ever does this :) [21:31] okay, i am going to do a test. i will log the user in question out of the nx session, and log them back in, and then they should have membership [21:31] techpraxis: right [21:32] I've just created an md raid with mdadm at /dev/md0, whenever i run fdisk now it complains /dev/md0 doesn't have a valid partition table. I was under the impression I just did mdadm, then mkfs and that was it, should I be fdisking /dev/md0 as any other disk? [21:32] techpraxis: but I'm off to bed -- Good luck :-) [21:32] mdadm just makes it a detectable disk you still have to write a valid partition table to it before it can be used BigRedS_ [21:33] Kaellman this will install the kernel correctly and normally correct your grub again [21:33] my window theme is invisible (no top bar with - O X) how do I get it to turn on. I'm using Ubuntu Christian Edition [21:33] I also want to remove the menu on the desktop [21:33] aurelien, will it work even though i installed ubuntu with wubi? [21:33] and make nautilus the default desktop. [21:33] Emanon: Aha! I suspected that might be the case! [21:33] cheers! [21:33] nautilus is the file manager not the desktop owner [21:33] Kaellman, normally yes [21:34] you mean the gnome desktop i assume? [21:34] guntbert: i logged the user out of nx, closed the session, logged them back in, and the user has access to the directory --> can touch a newfile [21:34] owner: no idea what are you taking about and neither sure if here support for non official derivates [21:34] Well ya it's gnome but there are no icons on the Desktop [21:34] aurelien, great! How do i install it? I cant access terminal unless booting with live cd [21:34] It is an official distribution of Ubuntu [21:34] ok cause i thought uce WAS gnome ok [21:35] i know owner i just didnt know what environment it used till i checked and you told me [21:35] Well the newest version is for netbooks [21:35] and it has a very interesting looking menu that lays on top of the Desktop all the time. [21:35] ok owner to have icons appear on desktop [21:36] alt+f2 [21:36] I have to use the Christian edition. [21:36] type gconf-editor [21:36] Ok I'll try that [21:36] ok [21:36] then along the left side of the window that appears hit apps [21:36] go down to nautilus [21:36] thank you to channel: my folder permissions problem is fixed with some new knowledge [21:36] and then to preferences [21:36] aurelien, you there? [21:36] I can pay for help. Seriously. [21:36] I don't see nautilus Emanon [21:37] its inside apps === homer is now known as Guest68260 [21:37] Kaellman, yes, it's a wubi trouble [21:37] How do I edit my xorg.conf so that it will actually look good with my display. I'm using a 1080p 42" insignia and the way the default xorg looks cannot be the best... [21:37] how would I make rsync -r -t -v --progress -z /directory1 /directory2/ so the files are compressed? [21:37] okay, now that i have less ignorance of how to behave in this channel i would like to ask another question [21:37] Kaellman: Use a live CD. [21:37] Back up data. [21:37] THEN mess with it.

[21:38] hi guys, I've enabled the pae kernel on 32-bit to access more then 3 GB of ram but it's still showing 3GB,do I have to change something in my bios, do you know? [21:38] Kaellman: That's my point. Boot using a LiveCD. [21:38] Emanon ok I'm in nautilus [21:38] the problem is with folder creation in file/save dialogs in some applications [21:38] !details | techpraxis [21:38] techpraxis: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:38] Back up the data using said liveCD, Kaellman. THEN mess with your busted config. [21:38] First order of business is to secure your data. [21:38] sec i lost the command looking for it [21:38] how do I install 32 binarys on 64 [21:38] leighman: Maybe you need to reboot since you're working with kernels. [21:39] Kaellman KB1JWQ is right when he says to use a live cd [21:39] it's the best way [21:39] KB1JWQ, thanks for the advice. I'll try that out. [21:39] How do I edit my xorg.conf to work with my display perfectly? Do I want to use modelines? [21:39] Didnt know i could back up my data with live cd. [21:39] yes you can Kaellman [21:40] Great. Thats a start. [21:40] Lenin_Cat: Try "dpkg -i --force-architecture sillyApp.deb" [21:40] Emanon still there? [21:40] yea ownerjust was wrong about the fix looking it up again now [21:40] Any advice to getting rc.local script access to the network on 9.10 desktop? I've tried a sleep 5 in rc.local before my script.. nothing... [21:41] grub did not install properly. How can i restore grub? [21:41] i am looking at grub rescue [21:42] and a black screen [21:42] turns out i was directing you towards the default icons (computer trash etc) not just desktop icons sorry owner idk how to do what you want [21:42] and a silly q: does any normal user need any type of flag/permission to see what are the file permissions exactly? [21:42] tried rebooting [21:42] I think I'll try Ubuntu tweak [21:43] does anybody know of a way to move a file to a folder when the rm command is envoked? I need to be able to review files before they're actually deleted [21:43] free -m still only shows 3 GB [21:43] PyroPhelia: use an alias [21:43] would it break anything if I did "chmod 700 /home/chris" on my server, to protect it from other users who have access to the server? [21:43] brontosaurusrex: if a user can see a file, they can see the file's permissions [21:43] Slart, pardon? [21:43] kinja-sheep, why wont the GUI allow it [21:43] yea its in there but ubuntu doesnt reccomend that and ive been suggesting it a bit much lately hehe [21:43] Chris___: I did it, nothing broke. [21:43] is there a ubuntu ce irc? [21:43] #ubuntuce [21:43] leighman: what was the question? [21:43] PyroPhelia: I think that particular alias is pretty common.. I've seen rm aliased to "cp to some kind of trash folder" on several places on the net [21:44] !ubuntuce [21:44] How do I edit my xorg.conf to work with my display perfectly? Do I want to use modelines? [21:44] owner: what's Ubuntu CE? [21:44] rww: ok, i thought so [21:44] Slart, oh....wow yea I didn't know that existed ty. [21:44] ubottu, lagging [21:44] brontosaurusrex: trying to enable pae kernel for 4GB of ram, but it's stil ony showing 3 GB [21:44] PyroPhelia: hang on.. let me find a howto or at least some info on it [21:44] rww christian edition [21:44] how might I be able to get wget to use an anonymous socks5 proxy for FTP access? [21:44] leighman: is your processor not capable of 64bit? [21:44] Ubuntu Christian Edition [21:44] has biblethumper themes and programs rww [21:44] Lenin_Cat: Probably because you're trying to use 32bit package on 64bit system. Protocols. GUI are made to make things easier for end users and if GUI allows that, then I foretell chaos and confusions. [21:44] I have to use it because it has a porn blocker [21:45] owner: Not that I know of. They have a forum, though: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=168 [21:45] Some parrents want it on a kid's computer [21:45] u know you can apply porn blocker to ANY distro with firefox [21:45] RRRRRRRRRRRRRR Have to fix this today [21:45] kinja-sheep, I know I am but I dont see why the GUI wouldnt allow it [21:45] just use foxfilter [21:45] Emanon how? [21:45] oh [21:45] foxfilter [21:45] I'll try that. [21:45] owner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:45] you can just designate words that will be blocked [21:45] Hello.. is it possible to create ubuntu users with access to openoffice and other not? [21:45] you can guess what words to use [21:45] PyroPhelia: while I search you can have a look at the file ~/.bashrc "gedit ~/.bashrc" should open it in a text editor.. towards the end there are a couple of aliases for the "ls" command.. it's something similar to that [21:45] owner: whatever ubuntu-ce does to block porn (maybe dansguardian) can be done in ubuntu, it's just not installed by default [21:45] owner: figure out which program Ubuntu CE uses, then install that program (I assume it's probably in the repos somewhere) [21:45] and when they change adult websites from .com to .xxx soon it will be easier [21:46] salrt, i'm looking at the man now, ty. [21:46] does foxfilter apply to other browsers like google chrome that could be used to get around the protection [21:46] no its just a firefox plugin [21:46] but if you dissallow the kids user permission to install the other browsers it should be fine [21:46] rww the program is called dansguardian and it's very hard to install and get a GUI to edit it working right. [21:47] PyroPhelia: here's a thread about it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623656 [21:47] i did some testing. problem request refined. problem is in Firefox, on Ubuntu 9.10. When I am attempting to save something from the web, say on images.google.com, and I choose "save image as" in the browser, I cannot create a new folder without typing over the name of an existing file. [21:47] just dont allow that user access to package managers and whatnot [21:47] so they have to use firefox [21:47] the reason i don't think it is just a Firefox problem is that another user, logged in via nx, doesn't manifest the problem. [21:48] jrib: no it's not :( [21:48] owner: You mean, looking for ubuntu CE channels? [21:48] techpraxis: my firefox problems usually stop when i delete the ~/.mozilla folder [21:48] Emanon: the ICANN proposal will not force sex operators to change to .xxx. just so you know. [21:48] hi , i am testing ubuntu 10.04 . it dont have xorg.conf Where i can configurate the video? [21:48] techpraxis: or better rename [21:49] !lucid | skypce [21:49] skypce: Lucid discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [21:49] skypce: 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 [21:49] yes CyberGabber [21:49] oh i just read it in the local paper didnt really look into it too thoroughly [21:49] hmm, bronto, what do you recommend? save the elements from that folder to a new profile after renaming to archive [21:49] Slart, ty. this is exactly what I was looking for. [21:50] brontosaurusrex: its worth a try [21:50] PyroPhelia: you're welcome [21:50] hey that would be pretty handy! www.google.xxx [21:50] techpraxis: well for start: close the ff, rename that folder, start ff, see if the problem goes away, then figure out what next [21:50] anyone here ever have success using gyachi voice chat? [21:50] is there a ubuntu dev in the room === michiel_ is now known as Guest27992 [21:50] brontosaurus: i will try right now, and report back [21:51] derp: why? [21:51] I have a toshiba laptop QOsmio running ubuntu 9.10 and i have a problem of when i start it up after grub it shows the black screen with the white ubuntu logo. Next it shows a login screen for tty1, and asks for user name, so i put it in, then it asks for password, so i put it in. Then there is a pause for about 30 seconds. It shows 4 errors 1. [63.213493] cx18-0: Frontend initialization failed. 2. [63.213655] cx18-0: DVB Failed to regis [21:51] private matter of security [21:51] derp: Yes. Now what?

[21:52] ah ok [21:52] brontosaurusrex: its dangerous since that profile contains all my stuff [21:52] derp: I'm curious as to what you've found. [21:52] techpraxis: how is renaming a folder dangerous? [21:53] lol KB1JWQ i wwants it to [21:53] how do i open a raw/binary terminal (for a serial connection)? [21:53] linux_stu: minicom [21:53] brontosaurusrex: i mean that the various tasks i have in that browser cannot continue under a new profile. [21:54] KB1JWQ: for minicom, you have to make a raw terminal for it. that's what i'm trying to figure out [21:54] and there are rare instances, (check google) where renaming leads to problems [21:54] linux_stu: ? [21:54] linux_stu: You fire up xterm or a bash shell in whatever terminal program you want, and you run it. What'm I missing? [21:54] Configure install script for Perl complains that my kernel does not have *secure* setuid scripts. Who is right? [21:55] what does 'sticky' mean in file permissions? [21:55] seanbrystone, Difficult to change, in short. [21:55] ah [21:55] it's from a portion of the manpage. "Terminal type. With this flag, you can override the environment TERM variable. This is handy for use in the MINICOM environment variable; one can create a special termcap entry for use with minicom on the console, that initializes the screen to raw mode" [21:55] i installed vbox from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads but how can i start vbox ? [21:55] KB1JWQ ^ [21:56] sidu: it should be in system tools, or something similar [21:56] seanbrystone: it means the same thing it meant 20 minutes ago when Losha pointed you to « man chmod » for a detailed explanation [21:56] sidu, alt+f2 then type VirtualBox [21:56] seanbrystone, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit [21:57] xiong: I think setuid scripts are disabled in ubuntu.. by default.. and for good reasons, I think [21:57] Hello. [21:57] W43372: hello [21:57] Slart, Yeh, I'm going along with Configure on this one. [21:57] xiong: I'm not really sure what a "secure" setuid script would be, though [21:58] jrib you got me confused with someone else, losha never told me to 'man chmod' [21:58] I can't get my laptop to pick up my home wireless network. I'm picking up all of the neighbors, just not mine. [21:58] ZykoticK9: alt+f2 works, but there is nothing in system folder etc [21:58] W43372: is your network hidden? [21:58] brontosaurusrex: started firefox with -no-remote -P after renaming .mozilla. Went to web, attempted to save an image. Problem still exists: when I choose new folder in the "Save Image As" dialog, the field that opens up in the edit area is overlaid on top of an existing file or folder, instead of creating a new icon and a new entry field. [21:59] xiong: although I find it odd that perl complains about it.. last time I checked setuid scripts most distros agreed that it was a bad thing.. perhaps the perl people didn't get the memo ? =) [21:59] o dear. too busy this room, bye for a while .. [21:59] No. My roommate picks it up on his laptop. My servre is connected to it now. It's got a password, but it's not hidden. [21:59] sidu, you could try restarting gnome panels using the command "killall gnome-panel" and see if it shows up [21:59] 'Some systems have disabled setuid scripts, especially systems where setuid scripts cannot be secure. On systems where setuid scripts have been disabled, the setuid/setgid bits on scripts are currently useless. It is possible for perl5 to detect those bits and emulate setuid/setgid in a secure fashion. This emulation will only work if setuid scripts have been disabled in your kernel.' [21:59] W43372: or you might have it set to a protocol your adapter doesnt support (n when your adapter is a/b/g etc) [21:59] xiong: interesting [22:00] kinja-sheep, are you using lucid?

[22:05] supposedly balsaq but i've never met them [22:06] Emanon, can't seem to get it to work [22:06] When i alt+shift through active applications it shifts 1 application per buttonpush. This is good. However when i hold alt+shift and press tab to step backwards through active applications it steps 2 step per time which is extremely annoying. Is there any way to make ubuntu only step 1 time for both forward and backward step? Thank you [22:06] hi [22:06] bummer balsaq i hope someone in here can help :-) [22:06] I am getting "readlink: not found" when I try to restart libnss-ldap service...could anybody help me? [22:06] I tried using the 'Connect to hidden wireless network' option and I put in the name and psk and it didn't connect, it just kept asking me for the psk [22:06] perhaps the problem i am experiencing is a problem with xulrunner? [22:07] ok, is there any application for Ubuntu that connects to yahoo video chat, both video and audio? [22:07] Diverdude: hmm.. using compiz? [22:07] kopete doesnt' and can't seem to get audio to work in gyachi [22:07] balsaq: Have you tried Pidgin? [22:07] Slart,yess,....but compiz is humongus and searching through all menues takes 100 years [22:07] pidgin doesnt i know that [22:07] balsaq, I've heard that Pidgin and Empathy support yahoo video and voice. [22:07] hi === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc [22:08] on a side note skype has been unable to recieve any video lately for me any ideas why? [22:08] clrg, W43372 pidgin/empathy dont' support video chat for yahoo [22:08] Diverdude: hehe.. give me a second to look through it.. I don't even have the Alt+Shift+TAB shortcut set.. [22:08] how to activate compiz extra effects on Xubuntu? [22:08] and it's possible to install Xfce to Ubuntu? [22:08] velizar, i think it's only for gnome [22:08] velizar: Yes it is. Just install the XFCE desktop environment package [22:09] xfce can be installed on ubuntu idk about compiz on it [22:09] thx clrg [22:09] I don't know much about the chat programs. I'm just here to figure out why I can't pick up my router. [22:09] velizar: I don't recall exactly how it's called, but it worked fine for me a year or so [22:09] seems counter intuitive unless you just like the way xfce looks [22:10] Diverdude: hmm.. I found the shortcut.. but on my system it only jumps one window at a time.. I use the ring switcher though.. it might be different from the default one [22:10] no offense if you do but it kind of looks like your working on a commodore 64 [22:10] I want Ubuntu extra effects on Xfce desktop environment, because Xfce is uses less memory than GNOME [22:10] Slart, yesi also have the ring switcher....but i dont really like the way it cycles the applications [22:10] and it's working so fast than gnome.. [22:10] Ultimate Ediion has compiz. That's what I was using but I kept having issues with UE2.3 connecting to yahoo with pidgin so I dropped it and switched to Ununtu 9.10. I just finished the install and now I can't pick up my router. [22:10] velizar: Why would you use XFCE in order to save resources, but then use them all up again by installing compiz? [22:11] maybe xfce frees up enough for him to run compiz [22:11] i have network-manager-gnome version 0.8~a~git.20091014t134532.4033e62-0ubuntu1 installed, but when i choose "About" on nm-applet i still get 0.7.996. How can I tell what version I'm really running, and if it is 0.7.996 how can i get to 0.8? (This is because I want some of the bluetooth stuff in 0.8) [22:11] velizar: Compiz works fine together with Xfce [22:11] Slart, and its easier to get an overview when using many apps with the other...small alt+tab one [22:11] but sorry idk velizar [22:11] Slart, i think [22:11] Diverdude: you haven't got more than one switcher plugin activated, right? [22:12] Slart, yes both ring and the normal alt+tab [22:12] Diverdude: oh.. have you made sure Shift+Alt+TAB isn't listed in both? [22:12] ok, thx all [22:12] velizar: although I don't really care about Compiz effects. Xfwm does a little compositing on its own which is enough for me [22:12] I'll try Xfce install in Ubuntu [22:12] good luck velizar [22:13] Slart, i just tried to disable the ring switcher...but that did not help [22:13] Hey I have a quick question about mounting cdrom drives. When I goto /media there is /cdrom, and /cdrom0. I can mount both, and read a dvd, but the thing is I only have one disc tray. I am having trouble installing something from a cd currently, and I am wondering if the cdrom, and cdrom0 might be posing a problem, and if I should get rid of one of them. [22:13] Diverdude: still jumps two steps for each keypress? [22:14] I had no problem picking up my router when I was running UE2.3. I installed 9.10 today and I can't pick up my router. I can pick up the neighbors across the street and the print server on the corner though... [22:14] Slart, aha i found the sinner [22:14] thevor: if it is in media, it is already mounted, right? [22:14] Diverdude: oh.. what was it? [22:14] Diverdude im sorry i dont know what is going on with yours, but i all of a sudden had probs with compiz as well, im wondering if maybe an update is common in our issues, when i maximize windows it was maken them way bigger then my scren, even after i disabled everything in compiz, so i uninstalled it and all works well [22:15] how can i do multiple OR arguments in an if shell statement? ie if [ $member:f =='this' || $member:f == 'that' ] [22:15] UnderSampled: I'm not really sure. If I go through terminal to media, and do a "ls" both come up. [22:15] Slart, apparantly inthe bindings settings there are 2 different binding sources for previous windows for some strange reason....and both were set to the same button :S [22:15] Well, I'll be here if anyone has any ideas, but I'll be tabbed out irc watching a movie. [22:15] Diverdude: ahh.. tricky [22:16] And I can go into each directory. [22:16] thevor: then they have all been mounted already [22:16] Slart, but yur idea led me on the right path [22:16] Diverdude: happy to help [22:16] Slart, i just converted your idea to thinking maybe 2 bindings are set [22:16] UnderSampled: So are they just always mounted? [22:16] Slart, instead of 2 switchers hehe [22:17] Diverdude: =) [22:17] thevor: nautilus automatically mounts drives that you use [22:17] Slart, thx dude [22:17] Undersampled: And are both mount points for the same disk drive? [22:17] Diverdude: you're welcome [22:17] Zenker, im sorry.l...it seems our problems are not related [22:17] eTiger13: if [ $foo -eq 1 ] || [ $bar -eq 3 ] || [$abc -eq 4 ] [22:18] diverdude tok, just though it may be a piece of the puzzle :) [22:18] UnderSampled: The thing is I am using "PlayOnLinux" to install a video game, and I need to point the program to my disk drive, and the program is having trouble finding the disk, and I'm wondering if the two mount points is causing a problem somehow? [22:18] eTiger13: if [ $foo -eq 2 -a $bar -eq 2 -o $bar -eq 1 ]; then [22:18] either way [22:18] Zenker, yes...thx for the info thoough mate [22:18] np yvw [22:19] thevor: run "mount" in a terminal [22:19] thevor: it should tell you what devices are mounted to where [22:20] Undersampled: DO you mind if I pastebin this? [22:20] thevor: no [22:20] I don't mind [22:21] SolarisBoy: if i do: if [ $f -eq "." ] || [ $f -eq ".." ] it tells me line 7: [: too many arguments [22:21] Undersampled: http://www.pastebin.org/113580 [22:22] eTiger13: you forgot a ; or 2 [22:22] whats the complete statement eTiger13 ? [22:23] http://pastebin.com/sUVMP6id [22:24] eTiger13: line 7, you need a ; after ] [22:24] which one, the first, all or the last? [22:24] is there any diff between simple and advanced ccsm, i dont see any? [22:25] The appearance of gradients from my Nividia 9800GTX+ looks a little bit granular. How can I fix this? Should I add modelines? [22:25] eTiger13: probably just the last. it's also good form to put 'then' on the same line, not the next line [22:25] If I remove my wine package will it also remove my program files or do they stay? [22:25] conb123: they stay [22:25] Gnea: Thank you [22:25] yes back again [22:25] Maletor: granular, as in speckled, or stair stepped?

I'm sorry.I'm confused.I'm not sure whether I should download the 10.1 beta 3 version of flash player or the debugger version fro my xubuntu [22:50] eTiger13: works fine here. [22:51] if you gotta ask that question, you don't want the debugger version [22:51] marcus__: can you do "cat fstab > ~/fstab.log" and copy the file contents to a pastebin? [22:51] oddy: The adapter is an airlink101 g. I'm using Ubuntu9.10. Up until today I've been using Ultimate Edition 2.3, I decided to stop using it and I installed 9.10 today. After the install I can pick up the wireless signals near my home, but not the one in my home. My server and my roommates laptop are picking up the wireless without problems. This is just exclusive to the laptop that has the fresh 9.10 insall on it. [22:51] change Downloads to a file/folder you have and see if it still echos the name or nope [22:51] marcus__ to check to obvious mistakes [22:51] ahhhhhhh that might b a good point spoovy [22:51] debug version is for software development [22:51] thanks very much [22:52] takes much more memory and of no use to non-developers [22:52] W43372: is it an encrypted signal? and, do you have alternate internet access on that computer? [22:52] wow, 1416 people in here. [22:53] eTiger13: seems odd, I see what you mean, but I have to go [22:53] andrew12: quite scary isn't it? [22:53] i made a CD image with "ddrescue -b2048 /dev/cdrom ddrescue.iso ddrescue.log" but K3b tells me it's not a usable image file... did i leave out anything important? [22:53] yeah :p [22:53] oddy: Yes, it's encrypted. No, I just have the wireless. The modem is in a different room and I've been told not to run CAT5 cables through the walls for a hard line. [22:53] oddy its empty...;-9 [22:54] marcus__: that is not good. you might have to get a pro onto that because i'm not sure what to do. [22:54] marcus__: there might be a dpkg-reconfigure command to fix it. not too sure though. [22:54] oddy i think its something with http://www.madhusudancs.info/remounting-windows [22:55] josh-N k3b is saying the .iso you got is not usable or the cd you burned is not usable, I don't ge which or what [22:55] That's exactly my problem, but i cant get the UUID command to work...:-( [22:56] it says the iso is not usable... i'd give the exact error message, but it's german ;-) [22:56] oddy: Yes, it's encrypted. No, I just have the wireless. The modem is in a different room and I've been told not to run CAT5 cables through the walls for a hard line. [22:56] josh-N da :P [22:57] W43372: sorry for the wait. could you temporarily get internet access onto it? because if you went System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers you might be able to install a restricted driver to fix it. [22:57] has anyone here been using gnome-shell? [22:57] oddy thanks for your effort... sleep well!;-) [22:57] oddy: you meant "cat /etc/fstab > ~/fstab.log" ... not "cat fstab > ~/fstab.log" ... right? [22:57] marcus__: nothing i can suggest except man pages and google :( i'm a bit out of my depth [22:57] thanks you too [22:58] josh-N: you are right, i incorrectly assumed he was in /etc/ :) good spot! [22:58] marcus__ what are you trying to do? [22:58] oddy: Yeah, I could hard line it to the router in the other room. [22:58] oddy: thought that could be the reason for an empty file ;-) [22:58] john__: i installed it for a few days? if you have a question go ahead and ask, you'll get a response better that way [22:58] Typos_King im trying to mount a partition from a previously installation of ubuntu... my /home.. :-( [22:58] thanks oddy [22:59] yeah, so is there anyway to sync evolution with that calendar? [22:59] ubuntu rules!!!! [22:59] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zF2hBuXs [22:59] it's not working like the default clock applet back in default gnome desktop [22:59] marcus__ and mount is not working for you? [22:59] anyone from eddy? [22:59] Can anyone help me with this error? I dont understand why Im getting fopen errors and the likes. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zF2hBuXs [22:59] no cause its unrecognized in the disk utility... i think i have to get the UUID and add it in fstab.. [22:59] W43372: so if you can, get a temporary connection over ethernet. First do a "sudo apt-get update" in terminal, and then go System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and activating it from there. It's pretty easy once you get there, just one or two buttons to click :) [23:00] john__: not gonna lie, nothing works the same in gnome-shell. what is the change you don't like? [23:00] FatalIll_____ Do you have root priveleges? [23:00] oddy: could you tell me what exactly I'm looking for when I get to the 'Hardware Drivers [23:00] marcus__ in the disk utility? which one? [23:01] oddy: could you tell me what exactly I'm looking for when I get to the 'Hardware Drivers'? I wouldn't want to fiddle around with the wrong thing and make my laptop think it's a toaster oven. [23:01] palimpsest [23:01] oddy_____ : I just recently synced my google calendar with my desktop clock and now it doesn't work with gnome-shell [23:01] system/administration [23:01] oddy______ : It doesn't list my "appointments" like before [23:01] ....... kkkk [23:01] john__ [23:01] ofcourse... [23:01] john__: no need for the underscores, my name is just oddy :) [23:02] Oh, I thought that was a means of identifying your audience [23:02] my bad [23:02] no, the _ is appended when the name is taken :) john__ because someone already has john and joh_ [23:02] marcus__ http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 <-- maybe pysdm can help [23:02] oh that makes, sense... So should I still prefix my message with my subject? [23:02] ex: [23:03] oddy: like this? [23:03] W43372: sure, it will do a little searching, and then you will (hopefully) be told that there is a driver available. there will be a button to click like 'activate' or 'install' and then it will pretty much do the rest to you. [23:03] FatalIll: Did that work? [23:03] john__: yep, cos then my IRC client notifies me that someone has messaged me. in fact whenever the name is in the message it does [23:03] did what work? [23:03] oddy: Thanks, man, (first time using this) [23:04] john__: dw, i was an IRC noob just a few months ago :) [23:04] FatalIll: Did you try the same make command but with sudo privileges [23:04] I was already in SU when I ran the make... [23:04] oddy: haha, yeah... noobism pretty much rocks... hey, what client are you using? [23:04] if you do come on alot, you can reserve your name. just go into #freenode and ask someone how to register a nick john__ [23:04] oddy: thanks man [23:04] john__: pidgin :P it isn't perfect cos there are too many windows but it works fair enough :) [23:04] john__: prefixing makes sense when you want the attention of a particular person. just make sure you don't annoy people, because many have set their clients to make sounds when their name appears. [23:05] Typos_King thankt for the input but it only shows the partitions that is already mounted by ubuntu.. [23:05] and mine isn't.. === conflix is now known as ConFliX2 [23:05] and to mount it it has to be in fstab [23:05] josh-N: So how do you know when to and when not to? [23:05] and to add id there i need the UUID...;-) i think... [23:05] thats my conclusion so far.. [23:05] john__ when you want to specifically message someone and lots of people have spoken inbetween your messages. [23:05] FatalIll: What's the permissions on that directory? (output of ls -lh /[directory]) [23:05] but i take it with me over night... sleep well everybody... [23:06] Oh, ok, thanks man [23:06] FatalIll: I don't do much c++, but if this were C, it would mean you're missing an #include file in the source file. This can happen if the code was written on a different system... [23:06] marcus__: pysdm provides editingfor fstab, and I don't think the UUID is mandatory, the device address works just as well [23:06] ok ubuntuers! [23:06] best of luck [23:06] stay on linux [23:06] and gnu [23:06] oddy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:06] john__: usually when someone is already responding to you, you won't annoy them by repeating their name. if someone doesn't respond though, you should not keep repeating their name until after some time has passed. [23:06] and goodnight :) [23:06] I added a stdio.h into it [23:06] works now [23:06] halfassed but whatever [23:06] sorry floodbot3 :( [23:06] bye [23:07] bye [23:07] whats the best way to install thunderbird 3 [23:07] yeah but in the example of the program the problem was that the device was recognized but not mounted (i installed the program, but it did only show 2 sda's, i have 4...:-( [23:07] good work FatalIll [23:07] od3n off the repos I'd thiink :P [23:08] it deos not show up tehre [23:08] !ppa | od3n [23:08] od3n: 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. [23:08] bye all! [23:08] od3n; odd, it does for me -> apt-cache search thunderbird; [23:09] Typos_King but i apprecieta the effort man... [23:09] marcus__ btw, do they show in -> sudo fdisk -l? [23:09] oddy: So, I'm trying to find a driver for my Airlink adapter? [23:09] Hmm... do you know if it's possible to take a screenshot while having a menu active? I mean, let's say, you click on the Places menu (next to Applications and System), your different folders display, but if you press the "Print screen" key on your keyboard, it won't take the picture. Should I propose to add this functionality to Ubuntu, or is it a GNOME thing? I haven't tried any other desktop systems (KDE, XFCE, for example), sorry. [23:10] Typos_King: od3n: unless you're both running the same release and use the same repositories, it could show up for one of you and not the other.... [23:10] well 3 is not showing up [23:10] indeed, I wonder what he's usingto check :) [23:10] I have the source that I downloaded [23:10] od3n: use the mozilla team ppa [23:11] I know this isn't quite the right place to ask, but...... in Chrome, where do I see what themes I have installed already? Anyone know? [23:11] od3n: yeah, check the mozilla site, they'd have it either on .deb or .bz2 I'd think [23:11] lifestream- I don't see any option on my build... [23:12] Typos_King yes... [23:12] lifestream: dunno..... maybe about:themes? or about:config [23:12] Hm, Now I am getting a "Makefile:26: .depend: no such file or directory" [23:12] lifestream- It offers a button to get back to the default theme, but none to choose the one you want. [23:12] where would I be getting .depend from? like what package [23:12] KaOSoFt, yeah, it's a pity... I guess we have to go download the theme each time we want a new one, even if it's the same we had 1 hr ago ;p [23:12] marcus__ where is it they don't show anyway? obviously they're 'seen' [23:12] oddy: So, I'm trying to find a driver for my Airlink adapter? [23:13] Typos_King, Yeah, page not found :( ah, i'll just install [23:13] !compile [23:13] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:13] lifestream- I'm happy with my Android theme.

[23:13] lifestream: sorry, no chrome here, I use opera ^_^ [23:13] KaOSoFt, oh, I use it on laptop [23:13] and ff and konqueror heeh [23:13] Others looked like that Firefox's Personas crap [23:13] Typos_King, *hisses and growl* :P [23:13] Where do I get .depend from? [23:14] hm.. i'm reasking yes. in the previous version of ubunut/gnome the panel had an arrow at the end that after clicked would hide the panel. where could that be found now? [23:14] i miss that feature [23:14] marcus__ well.... you can manually moun it... if this an ad hoc need :) [23:14] * clrg leaves [23:14] FatalIll: usually created by running [23:14] yeah I dont see a .deb on the site [23:14] FatalIll: usually created by running 'make depend' [23:15] azi_- I have that button. [23:15] help me please [23:15] Using 9.10 here. [23:15] marcus__ if sda6 is say ntfs.... then -> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /mnt; [23:15] !ask | abc- [23:15] abc-: 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. :-) [23:15] i wanna add dsp effect shoucast on audacious [23:15] KaOSoFt: weird.. i am using 9.10 too and i don't have it [23:15] it was an ubuntu /home before, right command?

[23:15] so i ca send or receive mp3 to that server [23:16] ok, i have tried everything i could think of and i still have a wierd thing goin on when i maximize a window. i have prepared some screen shots 2 show whats going on because i dont even know how 2 describe whats happening except that when i maximize a window it is too big for my screen can someon PLEASE help? [23:16] azi_- Looks like only the default panel Ubuntu has offers that button. Let me check again, because the new one didn't have it. [23:16] where i can download the effect plugin for audacious ? [23:16] Typos_King fuck i love u man...;-) [23:17] KaOSoFt: well i'm speaking of the default pannel [23:17] now its there... u are the best.. [23:17] dsp shoutcast server like winamp [23:17] is it always mounted or do i have to mount it manaully every time i reboot? [23:17] azi_- Right click the panel, go to Properties. There should you find the options to enable the hide buttons. :) [23:18] I have installed a todo list program and created a new entry named asdasd just for test.

[23:23] Yono you want to check out the restricted formats section on the ubuntu wiki [23:23] seanbrystone: haven't we been at this aisle before?

Did you had a todo list program on your ubuntu machine? I cross on a problem with it...as you can see above. [23:24] can someone please help me make my windows maximize correctly? [23:24] seanbrystone: in theory, you shouldn't need to. But something like dpkg -i --force-depends . See man dpkg for the details... [23:24] will do elm669 [23:25] Losha, ty, ill give that a try [23:25] seanbrystone: apt-get install --ignore-missing [23:25] elm669: although I already have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed [23:25] :P~ [23:25] sorry if this is a silly question, but where is the reboot option in ubuntu 9.10/Gnome? [23:25] seanbrystone: I'd rather know why it complains about a dependency that's installed... [23:25] * Typos_King nods [23:26] oh, found it! [23:26] hal- It doesn't appear to you? [23:26] Reboot == Restart [23:26] yeha, I just noticed the icon near my username [23:26] it wasn't obvious at first tho [23:26] Hehe.

Are you sure you have the right libsound2 package installed? [23:28] alternatively any suggestions on how to make the desktop better for gnome [23:29] hal: see yourself if you like some at http://gnome-look.org/ [23:29] i'm trying to walk someone through booting a machine with a ubuntu live cd--never used ubuntu--they are getting a "Busy Box" screen--how can we get them to a desktop so that I can get access to the machine [23:29] hal: install kde, j/k [23:29] When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. Applications seem to think I have a standard monitor, and not a widescreen, so they are rendering in standard mode. How do I fix this?

[23:30] Losha, im not exactly sure what libsound2 its wanting, i didnt know there was more than one libsound2 package, but ill keep looking [23:30] no [23:30] hal: NO [23:31] anyone know how to set up webcam support in ubuntu or kubuntu? === opp is now known as opop [23:31] QbY: are you sure you have the correct live cd? Usually if you select 'live' it spends a ton of time loading and then you get a desktop [23:31] hal you'll be hard pressed to find any KDE fans in here, have you tried #kubuntu? [23:32] QbY: usually the live-cd boots you to a full UI desktop [23:32] need help [23:32] GUI I should say [23:32] For some reason my router doesn't see my host name, but synergy does. Does anyone know why this is? [23:32] seanbrystone: well, try it with the force option. The worst that can happen is the program you've installed won't start [23:32] seanbrystone: that's ok, I just wanted a general survey [23:32] When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. Applications seem to think I have a standard monitor, and not a widescreen, so they are rendering in standard mode. How do I fix this? [23:33] hal: surveys are explicitly off topic in this channel I believe, or we'd do nothing else.... [23:33] !ask | jacob_ [23:33] jacob_: 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. :-) [23:34] ty all [23:35] what does it mean when i cant run turbotax 2009 in wine? [23:36] that you should have paid your taxex on time rofl :) [23:36] bigtom21485: what kind of answer are you looking for? [23:36] would be nice if it worked that way bigtom21485 , sadly very few apps work perfect in wine or even at all [23:36] hi@all [23:37] jrib: do i need to get a different emulator? [23:37] bigtom21485: well personally, I wouldn't use the software at all. But if you must, install windows in vbox and run it from there [23:37] bigtom21485: turbotax hasn't run properly in wine since 2005 apparently. See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=623. It means you can't run turbotax in wine, sorry.... [23:38] im helping my dad transition from windows to linux and i want to make sure he has full support so he doesnt have to do a dual-boot [23:38] bigtom21485: use vbox [23:39] Pidgin is not hooked up to my little notifier at the top right (I think it's called Nautilus notifier?) although before installing the latest version from source, it was working there. Now I do not get a little yellow star and alert when I get a message, but it is still listed in the drop-down. Help? [23:39] bigtom21485: that goal may be unrealistic, depending on what programs he wants to run.... [23:39] Noob here... whats the best way for me to connect my Xubuntu laptop to my Ubuntu desktop thru my wireless network? [23:40] When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. Applications seem to think I have a standard monitor, and not a widescreen, so they are rendering in standard mode. How do I fix this? [23:40] hi, I've been trying to get tray icons with icewm and openbox and it was impossible. I try a lot of methods with bad results. Now, I can get tray icons with some aplications, but no with every aplication. Please, help me. (9.10 amd64) [23:41] how to tell eyes of gnome to display gif files in animation [23:41] OMG now i see, its only certain progs that are doing that :) [23:41] joe__: Remote desktop viewer and some kind of VNC client. It's what I'm doing right now, actually :) [23:41] pbb i can just deal nvm about the help [23:41] G-Farkas: i would honestly recommend compiling and installing pypanel with openbox [23:41] jrib: virtualbox is listed as a way to run different x86 os's on one physical machine...however i am on an x64 machine does that complicate things? [23:41] G-Farkas: .. tray icons..... you can run any app and.... you mean in icewm as in the right-click on the window option? [23:42] Thanks W43372 I'll read up on it [23:43] G-Farkas: some apps add their icon to the tray, in icewm, but you can also drop any window to the tray too, from the right-click menu [23:43] Typos_King: I mean the icons that apear normally side to the clock === brendan_ is now known as Guest7161 [23:43] Hi all, i am here seeking help with my system. Have just installed 9.10 desktop but i have no sound. I am using a DFI Ultra-D motherboard with azalia sound card. If anyone could help me installing the driver I have downloaded it would be much appreciated :) [23:43] morphix: thanks, but i prefer icewm ^^ [23:44] G-Farkas: it might be you have the tray turn off, or not to show.... ever used the IceWM control panel? [23:44] hey guys, running Xubuntu here, is there a way to get a the rotating cube for workspace switching? or any of the compiz manager style effects to work? [23:44] Typos_King: : | was too easy!!! [23:44] G-Farkas: you mean, the right-click menu? hehe [23:44] if I have sda & sdb and I'm installing on sdb, where is installed the bootloader on 9.10 (default) ? [23:44] G-Farkas: you mentioned openbox is all.. but each to their own i suppose [23:45] G-Farkas: ever used the IceWM control panel? has heaploads of settings for icewm :) [23:45] should i elaborate to maybe get a better response? [23:45] Typos_King: I looked in the right clic menu, and find the option and works. I cant use the icewm control panel, I couldnt compile it [23:46] chrome: sure, Compiz works well with Xfce [23:46] morphix: Yes, sorry, Is just that it is my second option. I apreciate your help :) [23:46] daniskami: can you point me to a doc on how to do it? [23:46] chrome: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ [23:46] G-Farkas: compile it? it doesn't need... well yes.. it says you have.. BUT, the .py run right off without any fuss, from the directory you unzipped it at :) [23:46] daniskami: thats an old doc; is that going to work with 9.10? [23:46] G-Farkas: all it needs is python-gtk2 [23:47] Typos_King: Where did you get it? [23:47] prod1: your question is a difficult one, since it refers to specific hardware, and not many people will be familiar with it. You may have better look googling for ubuntu + the particular model of sound card [23:47] which GIMp install adds [23:47] E17 + ecomorph = win [23:47] G-Farkas: the iceWM control panel? [23:48] Typos_King: Yes [23:48] chrome: I don't think there's more to it than installing the right packages, but... [23:48] G-Farkas: gimme one sec... lemme see if I can find the url [23:48] I think it is more of a problem with ubuntu than the sound card as I have the driver and know how to install its just that I get errors during install which are kernel related [23:48] daniskami: there are some helpful comments further down that talk about 9.10 [23:48] Hello.......something is preventing me from dragging open apps between screens on Ubuntu...maybe i clicked a display setting.....any ideas? [23:49] chrome: ok. I stopped using it a while ago because it eats up resources [23:49] prod1: I can't promise anything, but do you want to pastebin the error output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com so we can have a look at it...? [23:49] Typos_King: this one: http://www.phrozensmoke.com/projects/icewmcp/ ? [23:50] that would be sweet :) thanx so much [23:50] prod1: meanwhile, you've nothing to lose by a google search.... [23:50] daniskami: yeah, machine has plenty of resources, but I like how snappy xfce is in general, so I kind of just want a bastard child :) [23:51] Hello.......something is preventing me from dragging open apps between screens on Ubuntu...maybe i clicked a display setting.....any ideas? [23:51] irc is always my last resort, have been googling all night now and im just gettin more confused as i go on :( [23:51] G-Farkas: yes [23:51] prod1: :-) [23:52] hello is there anyone here who can help me with my display issue? [23:52] G-Farkas: it doesn't require any compiling, it'll run off any directory, all you do is, run/execute the .py, all it needs installed is python-gtk2, which if you have Gimp, it already installed it [23:53] which kind of graphic card you have used? [23:53] Typos_King: Let me try :) [23:53] .....something is preventing me from dragging open applications between the two screens on Ubuntu...maybe i clicked a display setting.....any ideas? It has been working fine till this morning. [23:53] By two screens..i mean the two workspaces provided in Ubuntu accessed via the right hand lower corner. [23:53] G-Farkas: icepref.py is the one that has all settings that usually go in ~/.icewm/preferences [23:53] anyone have a link to help compile openssh5 on Hardy? [23:53] Synnema.....not sure...which sort of video card i have. [23:54] but i belive that is working fine. [23:54] Typos_King: Thatks, It seems to work fine [23:54] i3Cgp8BR [23:54] damn [23:55] Copperred: The dragging between workspaces should be a gnome-setting, has nothing to do with your videocard or driver. [23:55] v0lksman: some reason you can't wait for a regular build? [23:55] G-Farkas: don't forget to backup your preferences file :) heheeh, now it then I've got old settings overriden [23:55] prod1: ? [23:55] Copperred: No application would hinder you from doing this either, unless it has specifically set the "allow dragging" to false. [23:55] Typos_King: doenst matter ;) [23:55] i foudn the culprit [23:55] sorry about that, how shall i give you this link? [23:55] i ahd changed the appearance setings [23:55] Losha: it's not coming for Hardy. if I want to stay LTS I'd have to wait another year I think...I need it now [23:56] v0lksman: so what have you tried so far? [23:56] Typos_King: But, other question,the more important reason that make me use tray icons is for apps like pidgin, and it shows differents icons for differents status. I still can obtain it. Any idea? [23:56] prod1: just tell us the url it gave you... [23:56] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/i3Cgp8BR [23:57] Losha: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-411492.html [23:58] instead of a make install on openssl I did a checkinstall and it fails.. I'm not putting this in without some sort of roll back [23:58] G-Farkas: when you use the right-click option, it just drops the window icon, and is all you get, if the app uses the tray, and the tray is enabled/showing, it'll show such, I run a dictionary/rssfeed/others in the tray, and they show the icon status changing, but those I don't drop them with the right-click, they add themselves upon load [23:58] what does green highlighted txt mean in the terminal? [23:59] PyroPhelia: it's just a reflection of the permissions of that file. You can get the same information just be looking at the perms. [23:59] G-Farkas: I'm thinking your tray is not showing, or usually having the 'mailbox' in the tray some times creates conflicts, it has for me in the past [23:59] PyroPhelia: if I recall correctly in stock ubuntu that's a world-executable file. *shrug*
