[00:00] I tried to enable the try from the preferences file, and starting icewm with icewm-session to load icewmtray, and I see in the process list that it is runing, but still cant see them. Ill try to set it up with the app that you recomend me, and then ill coment ^^ [00:01] G-Farkas: it may be runnning, but not showing on the taskbar [00:02] prod1: the first error is on line 183 with the declaration of uintptr_t. I would try just commenting out the declaration in the file and see if you get any further. It seems obvious that the code has never been compiled/tested on your version of ubuntu... [00:02] G-Farkas: the taskbar has several sections, mailbox, url, tray, toolbar and another I think [00:02] Typos_King: I know, I add a line to precerences file, but still doent work, ill show you the line, If icepref doent overwrited my file :s === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [00:03] G-Farkas: there's also a prefoverride file too [00:03] daniskami: well, got it to work but the workspace switching is broken :) [00:03] ShowTaskBar=1 [00:03] TaskBarShowTray=1 [00:03] PyroPhelia: it means it has chmod 777 permission I think, so r/w/executable by all [00:03] chrome: oh, good luck with that [00:03] VCoolio, negative [00:03] v0lksman: checkinstall doesn't always work. When it doesn't, your only other option may be to log the output of 'make install' to a file, so you can back out any changes it makes by hand. You might just try running sshd from the build directory for testing. This is what you get for being a pioneer... [00:04] G-Farkas: for changes to take place, you need to restart iceWM [00:04] VCoolio, infact I was playing around with chattr a little bit to see just how strong +a and +i were. but I was getting strange results with parent folder colors [00:04] Yes, I did it yesterday :) [00:04] G-Farkas: Logout > Restart icewm [00:05] PyroPhelia: Enjoy. for z in `seq 0 7`; do for a in `seq 0 7`; do for b in `seq 0 7`; do for c in `seq 0 7`; do echo "touch $z$a$b$c"; echo "chmod $z$a$b$c $z$a$b$c"; done; done; done; done [00:05] thanx for your response, the only other problem is that im relatively new to ubuntu and am not sure where to find this file :S [00:05] PyroPhelia: anyway, check output of 'dircolors' to learn more [00:05] Typos_King: I still cant find the tray option [00:05] G-Farkas: TrayShowAllWindows=1 <-- [00:06] searching now [00:06] hi, i'm not new to linux at all; however, 9.10 is detecting only 800x600 [00:06] That's weird, I thought 9.10 had automatic non-noob detection and made the hardware work [00:07] heh me too thats why i was running it [00:07] same :D [00:07] i just want to work on the kernel not on the stupid resolution [00:07] G-Farkas: want to try my preferences? I can paste it [00:07] jim---: should i just make a custom xorg.conf like the old days [00:07] ni|: are you clean-shaven? Maybe that's throwing it off [00:07] then you can edit it away [00:07] jim---: actually no, and its been bothering me all day [00:08] Typos_King: I just find it, but I wish to try your preferences file :) [00:08] ok i think i know what u mean. so on line 183 of the driver install i should comment the line out? [00:08] anybody know how to use xarchiver to install a package I just downloaded ? supposedly I have gdebi installed but the only option I get when I right click on the package icon on the desktop is xarchiver or "other" [00:08] prod1: it's building in /tmp/selfgz2784/NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0306-pkg1/nvsound/main/nvalinux.h, but my guess is it copies the files there from somewhere else before it builds. Search for nvalinux.h [00:08] jim---: any ideas or just nits about nothing [00:08] how do i get frostwire for ubuntu/kubuntu? [00:08] ni|: I dunno, I use 9.04 mostly and have no qualms with xorg.conf; Linus notwithstanding. [00:09] prod1: no, I think line 183 just reports the error. The *cause* of the error is on line 54 of nvalinux.h, whereever that is.... [00:09] ni|: the obvious idea is to tell it what resolution you want instead of let it detect [00:09] no results found :S [00:09] hi there, I managed to play rmvb files in totem player which i understand uses xine as backend, but for some reasons i couldn't use xine to play rmvb, anyone could point me to the right direction? many thanks. [00:09] faron: if it's a deb, rightclick > properties > open with tab > point to gdebi-gtk in /usr/bin to make it default for all .deb [00:09] In /etc/hosts, what is the 127.0.1.1 entry for? I'm used to 127.0.0.1 for localhost on the loopback interface, and then regular IPs for this machine and others... [00:09] jim---: the latest xorg is supposed to not require a xorg.conf [00:09] so i'm trying to do this the canonical way first. [00:10] jim---: i'd like help but enough patronizing [00:10] G-Farkas: http://pastebin.ca/1841879 <-- preferences [00:10] Hi all, one question, what's the loopback interface plz ? [00:10] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and was adding a repository and accidentally overidded the whole file, so does anyone know were I can get a virgin sources.list? [00:10] ni|: I didn't mean it to be patronizing, sorry [00:10] kcg: is rmvb supported by xine? I think you'll need realplayer [00:10] ni|: jim---: If you are getting 800x600 it almost always means that, for whatever reason, the driver being used cannot do any better than that. So setting a resolution manually will likely do nothing. [00:10] Typos_King: Thanks [00:10] ni|: What graphics card? [00:10] Jordan_U: thats what i assumed [00:11] !codecs > kcg [00:11] kcg, please see my private message [00:11] I am phasing windows out completely. so without buying a zune or something else, how do i set up a sync-type relationship with linux and what program would i use? [00:11] VCoolio: i think there were some codecs i install which totem could use, [00:11] damnit, it's an internal interface that only exists in code, that your machine can use to connect to itself [00:11] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [00:11] for my ipod [00:11] Jordan_U: thats what lspci reports [00:11] ni|: Yes it doesn't require xorg.conf but will it support one if you supply it? [00:11] jim---: yes it will i know [00:11] humm ok, TY veebull [00:11] but i think Jordan_U is correct here. [00:11] ni|: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [00:11] vcoolio..maybe that's the problem...Im sorry it's a tar.gz [00:12] is there an open source way i can install my nvidia sound card? [00:12] histo: i have installed the restricted package so the default video could pick up. Somehow xine couldn't pick the codec up, any ideas? cheers [00:12] I (accidentally) made a volume on my Ubuntu machine oned by root and can no longer write or modify files on it - can someone help me switch it back? [00:12] can you tell me what to do with that ? vcoolio ? [00:12] owned [00:12] Jordan_U: its pissy about hsync and vrefresh claiming they are out of range [00:12] prod1: Check alsa's homepage, you'll see what they support. [00:12] thanks :) [00:13] daniskami: fixed :) simple compizconfig settings manager sorted it out [00:13] prod1: best of luck... [00:13] chrome: congratulations [00:13] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/mGxDiHQi [00:13] i think ill need it :D [00:13] its actually a little awesome. [00:13] ni|: Could you please pastebin the entire log? [00:13] Typos_King: Ill restart, be right back [00:14] k [00:14] hi, can anyone help me on how to mount an ipod touch [00:14] can anyone help me with mounting my ipod touch?

[00:18] !ipod | surajpkn [00:18] surajpkn, it's not guaranteed to be "sdb1", that's system-dependent [00:18] (on how many disk drives you have, mainly) [00:18] how do i check in which sdb or sdc or sda it is in? === prymal_ is now known as prymal81 [00:18] are you using gnome? does it not appear in the places menu? [00:19] no it does not appear in places menu [00:19] surajpkn you can try checking with -> sudo df [00:19] i don't think df tells you about unmounted filesystems [00:20] try cat /proc/partitions (and see if there are any devices you _don't_ recognize from df) [00:20] Typos_King: Kvirc has a tray icon B-) But pidgin no :( [00:20] that gives me only sda1 which is my internal hard drive [00:20] surajpkn: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:20] G-Farkas: maybe is an option in pidgin? dunno, I have several icons myself loaded int he tray with np [00:21] i tried cat command [00:21] for the new intel i7 64bit processor, what version of ubuntu should I be installing? [00:22] and it gives me the result with sda1, sda2, 5 and 6 [00:22] is there a way to make 2 replacements using only 1 'sed' command? [00:22] Typos_King: You should activate the option that can be translated to english with something like "Activate the tray icon" [00:22] these are my internals (like swap, etc) [00:22] i386 or AMD64 ? [00:22] g farakas how do you lik kvirc? anyone? i use xchat bu thats all i ever used [00:22] Typos_King: Thank you very mucho, I really apreciate your help [00:22] and bitchx way back when [00:23] my lsusb can see the apple ipod... but sudo fdisk -l cannot recognize it anywhere [00:23] ??

I have 6 brand spanking new servers connected over a DS3, so fast enough, and they all seem to randomly beccome unresponsive and then recover.... Issue with rdesktop? I have no issues with W2k8 RDP [00:26] ipauldev: try a different rdp client, or alternatively, use VNC. [00:26] if i want to map sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to my keyboard how would i do that? [00:27] ipauldev: try checking if there are any linux-backports-modules... maybe those provide a fix [00:27] Hi I am getting this error when trying to connect to a CE device "Could not display "synce://christopher-e/".

(I made a minimal install without gnome and I dont know its name) [00:29] G-Farkas: network-manager? [00:29] rahduke: ... don't need that... just a 'sudo reboot' will do, I'd think it may require a gksudo, since it has to ask for a password [00:29] Typos_King: sudo reboot will restart the comp, i just want to restart gdm [00:29] rahduke: Ill try, thanks [00:29] G-Farkas: nm-applet, for the gnome network manager, yes,it loads in the tray :) [00:30] Typos_King: nice one i couldnt think of it lol [00:30] rahduke: ohhh... ok [00:31] does anyone know where is the realplayer codec in Karmic, after you installed the restricted packages? Thanks. [00:31] kcg: maybe it is in medibuntu [00:31] Typos_King: what i'm trying to do is to set a keyboard shortcut that will get me out of a fullscreen game that gets screwed up, without reseting the machine [00:31] Typos_King: You again ? :P [00:32] har har har, I run nm-applet :P [00:32] much better than knetworkmanager here, so [00:32] wicd is pretty good [00:32] well....other I've used is rtutil too, and that one is ok too [00:33] so no clue how to set gdm restart to keyboard? [00:33] rahduke: Yes, but it doent run in tray bar [00:33] ChogyDan, is it not sth like /usr/lib/win32 or so? [00:33] G-Farkas: wicd runs in panel [00:33] rahduke: what is panel? [00:33] kcg: oh, that's what you mean. no, I don't know, you should look at the package [00:34] G-Farkas: the top bar thingy with ur name and apps and place etc [00:34] kcg: you mean, you don't have it?

What I am trying to find out, is to link the codec location in xine [00:34] Typos_King: what thing I should run before nm-applet ? [00:35] kcg: xine has its codecs :| [00:35] kcg: are you sure it can't play .rm/.ra? [00:35] Hi, I'm having the "Not avaiable in the current data" error and I have already tried sudo "apt-get update" [00:36] G-Farkas: nothing, just that, that's the network manager, it'll show in the tray, just click it, and connect [00:36] Typos_King, xine gives me an error, A problem occured while loading a library or a decoder:drvc.so [00:37] i just install ubuntu using LVM, but when i reboot for login, i got an error message "/dev/mapper/root not found, dropping to shell" [00:37] Typos_King: i haven't been working with linux for a while, back in the days when knoppix was popular, i remember I used it and managed to play rmvb files in xine [00:37] Typos_King: when I make clic on the icon I says something like: (My system is in spanish) "the network manager is not excecuting" or similar [00:38] Hi all ... i made a little script and put it on the desktop. When I doubleclick it i get a dialog on whether to run it or edit in text editor ... is there some way i can make it run i terminal right away? [00:38] Typos_King: Totem, the default player, seems to work fine with rmvb files, but it just doesn't work in xine at the moment, i thought it was using the xine engine? [00:38] Typos_King: Puting the mouse over the icon says "net not activated" or similar [00:38] G-Farkas: it it grayed out?

The only diff is that stuff in /usr/share/* will be available system-wide, to all user.. stuff in ~ won't [01:11] so I was connected to my work machine on VNC, and then rebooted my machine... any way I can re-login remotely and reconnect to vnc? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:12] Okidesu: read what ardchoille said. If you plan on backing up your distro to a live cd at some point, I would suggest using the /usr/share/theme path instead of using the one in your home dir. [01:12] ardchoille thanks :) that was very helpful, also i guess i can't just edit stuff in usr/share without root permissions right? So if i copy and rename a theme from usr share and edit it in home/themes it will be available right ? [01:13] no i just want to make a theme that's all :) [01:14] Okidesu: yes, you need admin perms to edit stuff in /usr/share/*, it's best to copy the theme to your home dir and edit it there, it will be fine in ~/.themes [01:14] hi you all, is there a way i can make to gnome always mount a partition on the same folder?? like /media/disk-2 ? on the one before karmic i could put on the preferences window of the drive, on the karmic there is no such place [01:14] eremite: Good point about the livcd [01:14] Okidesu: open a terminal and type sudo nautilus to access your filesystem as root. [01:14] !gksudo | eremite Okidesu [01:14] eremite Okidesu: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:15] froes: What are you trying to do? [01:15] ok guys thanks a lot :) [01:15] note taken ardchoille \ [01:16] froes: Mount a partition to a folder? [01:16] Any smart, innovative window pickers around? [01:16] Does anyone have a suggestion for a console based browser that they consider superior to w3m? [01:17] eremite: elinks [01:17] lynx [01:17] eremite: web browser or file browser? [01:17] eremite: links2 [01:17] LinuxGuy2009: web [01:17] eremite: do a search in the repos Im sure thats an easy self answered question. [01:17] Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check the repos and see what packages they require to determin my choice. Im getting bored with w3m. [01:18] ^\ [01:18] eremite: Most normal people use Firefox and stuff. [01:19] LinuxGuy2009: yeah, I'm very aware of that, but I have somke old machines with ancient hardware that I still use for other tasks, and I dont like to even install X on these machines. [01:19] LinuxGuy2009, nope, trying to make gnome mount it always on the same folder, when i go to places and put the password [01:19] froes: Mount what? [01:21] 'normal'...eh maybe, but sometimes its fun to be Masochistic and use CLI web browsers and file browsers :) [01:21] test [01:21] which program do i use to change my login screen [01:21] has anybody sucessfully added one of those "all in one" printer/scanners in Ubuntu with good support? [01:21] *successfully [01:21] eremite, I use links2, but I haven't used w3m before, so not sure of the comparison [01:21] eric__: 9.10? [01:22] yes === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [01:22] EncryptedKhaos: once i used ie6 [01:22] eric__: I dont think 9.10 supports that any longer. But I could be wrong I dont use 9.10. [01:22] i know there is a program u can dl i just cant remember what it is [01:22] good one fabio666 :) [01:23] eric__: You mean UCK or the other one to change the live CD? [01:23] to change the login in screen? [01:23] sinistrad: judging from what info I have gathered there is very little difference between any of them, save for a few different shortcuts for obscure tasks. I guess once I find an alternative for w3m I'll find out for myself. [01:24] eric__: If you can change it, its under System, admin, login. Thats in 9.04. [01:24] it buddies with the login screen program that's already installed [01:24] eric__: No idea then. [01:24] eremite, I have used lynx before too, but I seemed to like links2 better [01:24] cool thnx anyway [01:25] Hi! I installed ubuntu 9.10 on /dev/sda5 and retained the windows partition (/dev/sda1). Now it doesn't take me to the grub but directly boots into linux. Is there a way to solve this? I'd like to boot into both windows and ubuntu. [01:25] eric__: Google it? [01:25] i'll let you guys know if i find it [01:25] LinuxGuy2009, my partition [01:25] anyone? [01:26] ubunewb, yes there is a way to do this [01:26] froes: If you want a partition automatically mounted at bootup then you need to learn how to edit /etc/fstab file. [01:26] ubunewb, just a second [01:26] Semitones: cool :) [01:26] Semitones, I have. I don't use all of the features, though. I use the web-utility built into the printer's web server to scan in documents. It is duplex(double sided) printing with no problems either. It is an HP PhotoSmart C7250 [01:26] ubunewb: Sounds like you might need grub fixed. [01:26] LinuxGuy2009: And how do I do that? [01:27] LinuxGuy2009, again .... i dont want it to mount automatically, the only thing i want is: when i go to places and select my partition, put my password, and it will mount ALWAYS on the same folder like : /mount/idontgiveafuck [01:27] ubunewb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [01:27] I'm on a liveUSB now but I can boot into ubuntu thats on my harddrive. [01:27] LinuxGuy2009: Thanks. Will look into it! [01:28] froes: Im pretty sure that an fstab edit. But I could be wrong. [01:28] ubunewb: use a live cd and reinstall the grub menu from the disc's repos. [01:28] LinuxGuy2009, and i still want to put the password before mounting it [01:28] ubunewb, grub2 is designed to automatically detect other systems installed on your harddrive, but if it isn't working, you might need to configure it a bit more [01:29] ubottu: grub2 | ubunewb [01:29] ubunewb: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:29] Been doing that for the past 7 hours. Nothing seems to be working :( [01:29] froes: So then just run a "sudo mount blah blah". Thats it.\ [01:29] ubunewb, so right now are you on the live cd? [01:29] Semitones: Yes [01:30] How can I determine what version of a program is packaged in the repos? [01:30] how do i run a program in the background? currently i run sabnzbd by typing sabnzbdplus into bash, but i have to leave bash open, i can't exit it otherwise the program will shutdown. [01:30] froes: I have a folder from my NTFS partition saved as a bookmark in nautilus and when I click it, I get promted for a password. Is this what you want? you could try sudo mount /dev/hda1 (or whatever your partition is named) [01:30] ubunewb, and do you know if you have grub or grub2 installed? [01:30] mainframe: append "& disown" or use screen or tmux [01:30] LinuxGuy2009, it`s not supposed to use the command line, only go to the menu places and select it. just like it`s on the regular install [01:30] poseidon: You can look in aptitude or synaptic or packages.ubuntu.com and it will show all package versions. [01:30] ok [01:31] poseidon: if you are using teh synaptic GUI, you can see the version via one of the tabs in the description window. [01:31] jrib, so i would type sabnzbd &disown into bash? [01:31] mainframe: if that's what you want, yes [01:31] Semitones: Nope. I changed it so many times the last 5 hours. I have no clue. [01:31] froes: Cant help you sorry. [01:31] thanks [01:31] froes: Places launchers are only good for mounted partitions I believe. [01:32] Gimme a sec. I'll try out the stuff on the links ya'll gave me. Thanks :) [01:32] ubunewb, alright, let us know how it goes :) [01:32] ubunewb, find out which version of grub you have first though [01:32] Searching my printer in System / Administration / Printing option lock my computer and I need manually restart. Does anybody know that problem? [01:33] hugleo: System updated fully? [01:33] LinuxGuy2009, yes! [01:33] hugleo: you could try searching the LaunchPad site for Ubuntu bugs, perhaps there is a fix on their site. [01:33] ubunewb, the guide LinuxGuy2009 should have everything you need :) [01:33] hugleo: Probably a bug and you should report it. [01:33] i remember it is some gconf property to do that [01:34] froes: To do what? [01:34] Has anyone in here set up apache to use a test SSL certificate? Mine keeps sending http over 443 instead of https [01:34] eremite, LinuxGuy2009 hmm [01:35] Does anyone know how to remove the Popularity-Contest package without removing all the other needed gnome packages? It's essentially spyware. Ubuntu spyware. [01:35] From command line how can I modify --help to display one page at a time? [01:35] how do you get wireless working in icewm? the Network settings manager wont let me change anything even if i click on "click to make changes" [01:35] eremite, you can do this in synaptic [01:35] corigo: you could pipe output to "more" [01:35] LinuxGuy2009, make it always mount on the same folder [01:35] eg command --help | more [01:35] eremite: You should be able to remove it. If you see ubuntu-desktop or whatever saying its gonna be removed too. Dont worry its just a metapackage that points to other packages. [01:36] eremite, you can turn it on or off in either the "repositories" or "preferences" section, I'm not sure which [01:36] Semitones: yes, but it will also remove MANY needed packages with it. I cannot seem to remiove it by itself without deleting more packages that I need. [01:36] froes: I have no idea what your talking about. [01:36] I want my xfce4-terminal to show the windowtitle as "irssi" when I run irssi, is this possible? [01:36] eremite, don't remove the package, just uncheck "popularity contest" in the _preferences_ [01:37] brb, rebooting... [01:38] eremite: removing popularity contest only removes metapackages from what i can see. [01:38] Semitones: its actually in teh Repositories config, but I would prefer to remove it. It does not need to be there. I dont want spyware, even disabled spyware, on my machine. [01:38] can some one help me with a .bz2 file and how to install it [01:39] eremite: On my 9.04 system remving pop-contest only removes gnome-standard which should be a metapackage and is safe to remove. [01:39] o4dn: Double click and file roller will open it. [01:39] how do you get wireless working in icewm? the Network settings manager wont let me change anything even if i click on "click to make changes" [01:39] CalmvsKhaos:You might need a network manager going. [01:40] CalmvsKhaos: Whuch manager are you using? [01:40] I think I figured out the rdesktop issue. I removed the video drivers on the servers I was RDP'ing too, and it seems to work [01:40] LinuxGuy2009, donno whatever gnome uses, but im in icewm [01:40] should i try wicd? [01:40] CalmvsKhaos: Sure try anything that works. [01:41] CalmvsKhaos: I believe you need either the gnome or xfce network manager. Either should work with an ubuntu minimal install, so you should be ok with them. Im not 100% positive, though. [01:42] How do I get png thumbnails to display? Other image files (jpeg) display thumbnails, but png does not [01:42] CalmvsKhaos: wicd doesnt have gnome deps so it should work good. [01:43] png's are to good for thumbnails [01:43] keyboardtalk: Are the images corrupted? All images should display out of the box. [01:43] keyboardtalk: are you trying to display them in a web browser or on yoru computer? [01:44] keyboardtalk: I use PNG on my system for wallpapers and thumbnail fine in 9.04. [01:44] Hey there. Just wondering, i see ubuntu creates a group called 'users' by default. Is this group used at all? [01:44] LinuxGuy2009: I use png for almost everything, I hate gif and jpg unless its a small, small file.\ [01:44] any one able to help with getting natule to work with synce? [01:44] syncing what? [01:44] eremite: Same here I hate lossy stuff. === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [01:45] markdymek_: I get the error: Could not display "synce://christopher-e/". Nautilus cannot handle "synce" locations. I am trying to be able to see the files on the device [01:45] LinuxGuy2009: then you probably hate ogg (Im officially championing ogg to other recording artists like myself, spreading the free software love) [01:46] markdymek_: I am able to connect to the device and it shows its connected [01:46] I recently installed the netbook-remix desktop stuffs via synaptic in 9.10, to see what it would look like on my asus 1005. didn't quite like it, so I uninstalled to go back to 'normal'. Everything is back as it was but the windows still start in full screen mode with no title-bar. Anyone know the setting to tickle to get the windows to stop opening? [01:46] eremite: Oh no not against lossy like OGG at all. No no. Whenever I use lossy formats I use higher bitrates is all. 256Kbps AAC for music for example. [01:46] ... err, opening full-screen. [01:46] @spiritis-sight what are you trying to sync? === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [01:47] LinuxGuy2009: I think vorbis is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread. [01:47] the920: Maximus is still running. If its removed just reboot. [01:47] LinuxGuy2009, Cool, thanks. [01:47] eremite: Yeah I just wished my iPod played it. hehe [01:48] the920: or find the process and try to kill it. [01:48] LinuxGuy2009: I wouldnt know, I hate iPods. I have no use for a portable mp3 player at this time, and I sure as hell wouldnt want to pay so much for an iPod when i can get an old school mp3 player for a third of the price. [01:49] eremite: I agree. I didnt pay for it though. Was a gift/payment for building a website. I would never buy one for myself its too closed source. [01:49] eremite: Next time its OGG or nothing. [01:50] Hello......can someone tell me where in Openoffice is the "side by side" command....to view to open docs together? No one is home in the OpenOffice IRC channels. [01:50] LinuxGuy2009: Today is my birthday and I got a new wireless keyboard/mouse. HP hardware made for Vista. Ugly little windows logo on it and everything. *shrugs* [01:50] i installed ubuntu in LVM partation , but while booting i got "/dev/mapper/lvmVolume-root not found, Dropping to shell" how to fix it [01:50] Copperred: You can open them seperately and just resize the windows side by side. Also the compiz effect called grid is great for this. [01:51] hmmm ok [01:51] thanks [01:51] sure [01:51] Yea, grid can do it with key bindings and with dragging to edge in newer versions of compiz [01:52] @eremite: happy b-day. Go play with your toys :) [01:52] soreau: Ooh cool. Didnt know about screen edge for grid in newer versions. Must have been where M$ ripped that off. [01:52] Hmm.. this is getting quite frustrating. What is this error? grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /. [01:52] i installed ubuntu in LVM partation using livecd, but while booting i got "/dev/mapper/lvmVolume-root not found, Dropping to shell" how to fix it [01:52] Thanks vicsar! [01:53] AP: You already know what LVM is and what its for? === |nightrid3r| is now known as nightrid3r [01:53] hello all [01:53] ok wicd doesnt work, how do i get back the default networking manager for ubuntu? [01:54] any one need a nigger? [01:54] CalmvsKhaos: login gnome and it will start up. [01:54] ill do that nigger work for ya [01:54] 1 box [01:54] LinuxGuy2009, ya .. but little [01:54] 1 dollar [01:54] !ops | root_my_box [01:54] root_my_box: Help! Channel emergency!

[01:54] CalmvsKhaos: you shoudl be able to remove the package and then reinstall NetworkManager and its dependancies. [01:56] You know, I really fail to see how people find Linux so difficult to use. Sure, distros like Arch are not for noobs, but Ubuntu is pretty straight forward once you get used to it. So thankful for this project. [01:56] Reporting a ubuntu bug I'm getting: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection." [01:56] AP: Unless you know how to work with LVM I would not recomend it to you. Ubuntu doesnt use it out of the box for good reason. Anyone new coming to Ubuntu wouldnt know how to work with it. [01:56] :( [01:56] configure: error: zm requires Sys::Mmap for mapped memory？ [01:56] LinuxGuy2009, ubuntu is already installed, .. i think lvm is needed while booting ... but dont know how to install it from live cd [01:56] hi, if anybody posted anything to me, please repost. I lost my inet connection. [01:57] AP: Well only way around it other than a clean normal install is to learn how to work with LVM. Google is your friend. [01:58] LinuxGuy2009, i have done it before, but create new LVM, this time just i am trying to use same LVM partation like /home, /var [01:59] eremite: I started using ubuntu 7.04 and found it to be great. Used windows for a brief period (uni, work etc. compelled me to) and switched back directly to 9.04. Stuff didn't change but I foud myself spending more time upgrading/fixing the bugs. IMHO, I wouldn't mind switching back to 7.04. [01:59] AP: Did you edit your fstab to reflect the reused partitions [01:59] Does anyone know if there are other Bible translations available for ubuntu other than the bible-kjv package? Looking for NIV, WEB and Deuy-Rheyms (sp?) versions. I like to study historical fiction. [02:00] i installed ubuntu in LVM partation using livecd, but while booting i got "/dev/mapper/lvmVolume-root not found, Dropping to shell" how to fix it [02:01] Sorry AP, not my specialty. [02:01] AP: Unless your willing to learn how to work with LVM your gonna be stuck. Go google to learn about how to use LVM or backup your stuff and do a fresh install if you dont want to take the time to learn. Its completely up to you what you like to do. [02:01] ubunewb: You might like lucid when it is out of beta. So far It is far more stable than I expected and it is an alpha. [02:02] hi [02:02] !hi | mele [02:02] mele: 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! [02:02] What are the major difference to be expected from Lucid? [02:02] !lucid | eremite [02:02] eremite: 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 [02:02] hi there, is anyone having problems with 9.10? [02:02] eremite: There are many places online to get ebooks and bibles. The repos not being my first pick. [02:02] Boondoklife: That was the exact same thing I heard when 9.10 was out. I love ubuntu any day over windows and I'm not complaining. But oflate, I've faced too many problems. [02:02] i'm having problems with wireless and waking up from suspend [02:02] mele: you might want to narrow that down a bit [02:02] ahj, ok [02:03] as far as wireless is concerned, when i boot up, wireless network cannot be enabled [02:03] mele: All updates installed? [02:03] yes, i think so [02:03] eremite, LinuxGuy2009, do u know how to install package in Ubuntu in HD fron live CD [02:03] mele: If your not sure maybe check? [02:03] from synaptics package manager right? [02:03] mele: sure [02:03] how do i check? [02:03] mele: mark all upgrades [02:03] ubunewb: I had all kinds of issue with 9.10 when it came out. Bashed my head in for a bit and just followed the bug reports till they were fixed. But so far plymouth is the only thing that is bitting me with lucid. [02:04] i was pretty sure i did, but let me do that again just to be sure [02:04] LinuxGuy2009: I like to jump into a console and have a searchable text, which the bible-kjv package allows for. I just might transfer the public domian translations to the source that bible-kjv package used. I recall their help file stating something about it being easy to use other texts in place of the KJV bible. [02:04] Boondoklife: Idk. Im still basing my head. Lets hope 10.04 fixes it all. :) [02:04] brb [02:04] mele: I personally didnt get along with 9.10 either. Im back with 9.04 and extremely happy! [02:04] WE'RE GAY! WE'RE NIGGERS!

[02:08] can i adjust the terminal resolution in ubuntu with NO xserver? [02:08] Geforce88: if you use xrandr you might be able to [02:08] how to start wifi? wicd not working [02:08] Geforce88: nevermind, you said NO x [02:09] My windows don't get selected in gnome by mouseclick, only by when I enable "select windows when the mouse is over them". How do I fix windows selection by mouse click? [02:10] There is a web Java applet I use often, and I never have any issue with Windows 7. However, on Ubuntu, I occasionally (yes, it does work sometimes), get the following output from Java Error Console: http://pastebin.com/XAJjnATP Any ideas? [02:10] eremite, i have 800x600 terminal window, i would like it the 1068xwhatever, any ideas? [02:10] It just started happening today. I rebooted, didn't help [02:10] Well that was pleasant. I love when the bots decide my router is buggy out of the blue. [02:11] my system just logged me out automatically ... could this have been the cause? : kernel: [11431.365892] VirtualBox[25716]: segfault at 2e3460f0 ip 00007fb65db5ab65 sp 00007fb64dab3b20 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fb65db22000+166000] [02:11] puser: have you installed a theme that uses text too large for the titlebar? Sometimes when text is larger then the hight of the title bar, it will displace the buttons. At least this was a problem in windows. [02:11] Geforce88: hold on, let me see if I have any local documents that may be of help.\ [02:11] eremite, gracias [02:13] eremite: I used default themes. Yes, I was playing with them, but I changed them a couple of days ago and just yesterday, everything was still working fine. The text all fits in title bars. [02:13] Geforce88: is there a reason you dont or can't use X? [02:14] eremite: I am using clearlooks, just changed the icons in there to icons fcrom DarkRoom [02:14] nothing else was done with themes and fonts. [02:15] puser: I have no idea what your problem could be from. I suggest sticking around and asking every 10 minuts, and hopefully somone with a cure for your problem will announce themselves. [02:16] ok, I'll do that [02:16] anybody know how I can add a python script as a menu item in gnome? [02:17] ermite is a tty local terminal window [02:17] it's i mean [02:17] hDy: I think nautilus can use scripts for file actions on the right click menu if thats what you mean. [02:17] hDy: right click the menu, choose "Edit Menus" and add the file you want to the list. [02:18] ya I added it to the menu but it didn't work since i had to do /home/hdy/folder/ python start.py [02:18] hDy: Oh my bad you want to execute a script. eremite got it. [02:19] Geforce88: you will be stuck with that resolution, I think. [02:19] hDy: other way around, python /home/hdy/folder/start.py [02:19] hDy: Edit the launcher command line to match what you type in CLI to execute it. [02:19] my nm-applet (network manager) appears in processes list, but stopped appearing in Notification Area. Also, I get balloons from it when something happens. They come from the notification area from network manager, but no icon appears there and I cannot right click or click anywhere there. I tried moving mouse pixel-by-pixel no chance. [02:19] there has to be a way to change the 800X600 to something more useable [02:19] or is that at the kernal level ? === haavaros_ is now known as haavaros [02:19] Geforce88: 800x600 for what? Desktop res? [02:20] Geforce88: Comes down to driver installed and if it supports higher. [02:20] hDy: make sure to enable the script to execute. Right click > preferences > enable execute [02:20] LinuxGuy2009, YES, it's a tty local terminal on a server that doesn't have a gui installed [02:21] Geforce88: Just make sure you have a good graphics driver installed that supports all the available resolutions. [02:21] LinuxGuy2009: he wants to change the resolution without having X installed, and his box defaukts to 600x800. I think it is not possible to change the resolution unless using a GUI, unless yoru monitor's has other native resolutions. [02:21] eremite: Agreed [02:23] sweet that works, one other question how can I start it as root? i've got "python /home/hdy/folder/start.py" and "sudo su python /home/hdy/folder/start.py" doesn't seem to work :/ [02:23] hDy: sudo [02:23] hDy: use sudo -i, not sudo su [02:23] hdy you have to enable the root password [02:23] how can i remove window decorations (title bar etc..) from a specific application? [02:23] sudo passwd root i think is the command [02:23] markdymek_: Please don't recommend that, it's neither supported nor recommended in this channel [02:24] sudo is all you need [02:24] he wanted to know how to do it] [02:24] thats how you do it [02:24] We're not to teach that here [02:24] Recomend sudo instead [02:24] markdymek_: along with breaking about half the system with it [02:24] its his system [02:24] if he wants to fuck it up let him [02:25] Hahaha That right we are not to answer questions. [02:25] hack away dude [02:25] lol [02:25] I run most my stuff as root [02:25] markdymek_: Good job man!

[02:25] got a stupid question for you guys. :) [02:26] there are no stupid questions [02:26] ardchoille: Dude the guy asked. Get over it. [02:26] got a laptop with intel I7 which in theory is 64 bit, so was going to get 64 bit ubuntu [02:26] just stupid people [02:26] unfortunately when I click the 64 bit option on the download page the iso name is "AMD64.iso" [02:26] do you need access to more then 4 gigs of ram? [02:26] markdymek_: I think you did a good job helping him. [02:26] LinuxGuy2009: Then politely tell him that it isn't allowed to teachit here :) [02:26] so was curious if anyone actually tried to install that with the intel core [02:26] thats the default name for 64bit [02:26] mark> not really. its a laptop for personal use [02:26] good [02:27] amd made 64bit [02:27] it works with both [02:27] ardchoille: No I wont say that. He did a good job. [02:27] was curious if that was just a bad name [02:27] jlundy: amd64 naming convention is a legacy way. it works for intel as well [02:27] thanks. had me worried so I didnt try it [02:27] i would advise agaiesnt 64 bit [02:27] only use that if you need more then 4 gigs of ram [02:27] and I wouldn't [02:28] lots of problems with the 64 eh? [02:28] Yeah I have a quad core 64 bit and still run 32 bit for software compatibility. [02:28] nope, i use the 64 bit 9.10 with ZERO problems [02:28] Hello! [02:28] I have a question. I just installed ubuntu and I've never used linux before. My headphones don't work. When I take them out, the speakers work, though and they work when I run windows. What do I need to do to fix this? [02:28] HI [02:28] hi [02:28] 64bit is only needed for RAM junkies, at this point in time. In a few years it should be the standard, just waiting on developers to make 64 bit packages of their apps, utilizing the power. [02:28] Geforce88: Adobe flash plugin work ok and everything? [02:28] got a new laptop and didnt feel like trying to build a custom kernel under fedora, etc [02:29] so figured I would give ubuntu a shot with the new laptop and see if it works better [02:29] LinuxGuy2009, yea, it's on facebook more than it's off of it [02:29] everything assplodes on fedora 12 sadly. hehe [02:29] my laptop came with 7 so i dual booted 9.10 64 bit with zero erros or issues, and it runs everything [02:29] Geforce88: Hmm thats good to know. Ive never even installed 64bit OS on here yet. [02:30] kafziel: please open a Terminal window and type "alsamixer" without the quotes. Then use the arrows on yoru keyboard to navigate to the meter/bar that says line-in and the one that says mic, and make sure they are turned up (these are volume equalizers). This might help you. [02:30] my other laptop is an amd 64 and worked fine with the adobe flash [02:30] except for Hulu [02:30] put it this way, get a couple more bugs out of it by 10.04's release and i'll drop all doze products forever [02:30] its just easier not to recoomend you use it [02:30] theres no reason to [02:30] its not 32 times as good [02:30] kafziel: Your headphones plug into the speakers? Speakers work fine though? [02:30] I cant get Hulu in Canada without proxy. [02:30] it doesn't run faster [02:30] how can i remove window decorations (title bar etc..) from a specific application? [02:30] There's no reason for developers not to make 64bit applications either. [02:30] in same cases might even be slower [02:31] ubuntu is debian based correct? [02:31] LinuxGuy2009: there are a few sound issues with Karmic. [02:31] yes everything's turned on and up and speakers work fine. [02:31] i disagree, running 64 bits instead of 32 is faster. period [02:31] jlundy: yes, but quite different from debian [02:31] eremite: Oh trust me I know all about it. Why I ditched it. [02:31] kk. will have to get used to apt-get again I guess. :) [02:31] where are your benchmarks to back this up geforce88 [02:31] my system just logged me out automatically ... could this have been the cause? : kernel: [11431.365892] VirtualBox[25716]: segfault at 2e3460f0 ip 00007fb65db5ab65 sp 00007fb64dab3b20 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fb65db22000+166000] [02:32] kafziel: Tested your headphones in another device cause thats not a software issue. thats a hardware issue. [02:32] markdymek_: 4 JB ram < 24 JB [02:32] jlundy: there's also aptitude if you prefer that [02:32] also why are my logs full of this stuff: zeth-r61-64 pulseaudio[12957]: ratelimit.c: 123 events suppressed [02:32] 64 bit is a joke [02:32] used to use debian 3 or 4 years ago [02:32] so shouldnt be to bad [02:32] its the industryies excause to sell new hardware [02:32] !ubuntu-offtopic [02:32] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [02:32] curious what the main differences is between debian and ubuntu is though [02:32] other than just different packages, etc [02:32] No, that's 128bit. [02:32] none [02:32] markdymek_ i'm not falling into a p1ssing contest with you. everybody likes what they like. end of story. if you bewlieve 64 bit processors are slower than 32, that's your right bro. [02:32] jlundy: Stability and age of packages [02:33] tested them with my mp3 player and tested other headphones. the headphones are fine. [02:33] debian is ubuntu [02:33] debian is mostly cl [02:33] no test branch on ubuntu? [02:33] ubuntu has a nice gui [02:33] no [02:33] kafziel: Then the headphone jack on your speakers is broke. [02:33] is there any way to restore "factory defaults" so that theme, startup programs, drivers, default & preferred programs and the like all go back to the way they would be under a fresh install without losing my files and programs and such? [02:33] Ubuntu has a horrid default GUI theme. [02:33] it works when I start using Windows [02:34] kafziel: If the headphones plug into your speakers headphone jack then there either broke headphones or broke jack. Not software related at all. [02:34] CAPcap> probably deleting the hidden files for your Gnome/KDE in your home directory [02:34] I also have heaps of these messages: Mar 16 12:32:31 zeth-r61-64 kernel: [11468.078831] [drm] TV-15: set mode NTSC 480i 0 [02:34] all the customization should be in the hidden files in your home dir [02:34] CAPcap: perhaps. Open synaptic and mark all packages you think are important for reinstallation. [02:34] can anyone shed light on any of these log entries? [02:34] kafziel: Ubuntu could care less if you have headphones plugged into your speakers. [02:35] thanks for the suggestions :) I was just curious.

[02:39] thats what I bought. hehe [02:39] jlundy: Ive been thinking about trying it out on my Dell Mini. [02:40] ubuntu remix ftw!! [02:40] just curious mainly. I need to figure out what wireless nic is in the toshiba and get it working. I suspect it is going to be a pain [02:40] markdymek_, emacs does rule :P vi ... [02:40] sadly Fedora 12 failed miserably with it. Worked great on my old laptop [02:40] jlundy type lshw in a terminal [02:40] jlundy: sudo lshw -C lan [02:40] jlundy, lspci -nnv >> pastebin [02:40] shows you all the hardware attached to your system [02:41] ah. I was trying out lspci [02:41] * jlundy bonks self [02:41] jlundy: I'm convinced that building an Ubuntu system fround the ground up is the ideal way to go for every version of Ubuntu. You only install what you need and forget the rest (like bluetooth or wifi if you dont need those). [02:41] jlundy, lspci is right... [02:41] from* [02:41] its that very time consuming? [02:41] took me a year to build this machince [02:41] I can't seem to figure out how to add a folder of pictures to my list of backgrounds in "Appearance Preferences" (Ubuntu UNR 9.10). I'm looking to do what is done by default with the "cosmos" folder but haven't been able to figure it out. Should be simple... can anyone point me in the right direction? [02:41] actually more [02:42] well I used to run debian and would rebuild my kernel, etc and used the test packages [02:42] had to get all the parts [02:42] then decided I just wanted a distro that worked from install. :) [02:42] ubuntu is good [02:42] debian has been around a long time [02:42] eremite: A custom live CD build with UCk would make that pretty easy. Only have to do it once for a total custom install. [02:42] one of the oldest distros [02:42] so hoping the wireless and video drivers work out of the box on this one [02:42] ubuntu is good to the point that it has the drivers [02:42] might might not [02:42] obviously the noveau driver might not like my newer video card [02:42] markdymek_: not really. After you install a console you can have a working system with one line of commands. I use "sudo apt-get install xorg firefox gedit"...etc. [02:43] but assuming I can get it to boot to init 3, I can fix that [02:43] LinuxGuy2009: I use Remastersys to make my own personal distros. I have a few make so far. [02:43] made** [02:43] Sorry, been drinking, hard to type on the new keyboard. [02:44] hey does anyone remember steve jobs back in the day trying to use dos?

[02:46] Ruge, depends on what you put inside the vbox [02:47] Windows XP SP3 x86, give it 3GB ram and 200GB HDD space [02:47] Ruge: They will run but how the responce will be changes from app to app. [02:47] Vigo: synaptic is a complete list of the repos you have, the software center is only Ubuntu recommended software, I think. [02:47] I just want to compile the driver for my wireless card without having troubles... [02:47] as [02:47] Ruge, sure. What is the config of the physical hardware?

[02:48] ah yes, i have the 9.10 x64 disc [02:48] basix why 64bit? [02:48] where can I find the sources for ath9k? [02:48] does he need more then 4 gigs of ram? [02:48] where can I find .deb package of synce-gvfs? [02:48] well im not going to use x64 WinXP [02:48] markdymek_, 64bit handles 4GB+ RAM better [02:48] Hi All, I could not unfold the email folders when I have two gmail IMAP account been enabled. I am using Evolution. [02:48] so illg ive it 3GB RAM while I gig 3GB RAM to Ubuntu [02:48] basix only reason to use 64 bit [02:49] Does anybody could help me? [02:49] yes srdgame [02:49] whats your question [02:49] Ruge, yeah thats fine but remember 2+ CPUs [02:49] markdymek_, I could not unfold the email folders when I have two gmail IMAP account been enabled. I am using Evolution [02:49] Spirits-Sight, google "deb synce-gvfs ubuntu" [02:49] srdgame: Maybe try thunderbird? [02:49] you can do that? [02:49] hang on... whats the 2+CPU thing? [02:49] can i say this? [02:49] I HATE GMAIL IMAP!! [02:49] Ruge, more than 2 CPUs [02:49] LinuxGuy2009, Can it import data from Evolution? [02:50] wont it automatically use all of my cores? [02:50] srdgame [02:50] Ruge, no [02:50] gmail imap is screwed up [02:50] markdymek_, I could not unfold the email folders when I have two gmail IMAP account been enabled. I am using Evolution [02:50] srdgame: No idea. Ive never used Evolution. [02:50] * Ruge has only ever had a single core, ive only just got the quaddies [02:50] could i just set VBox to use all 4 [02:50] srdgane: Yes it can, far as I know and have used it. [02:50] Anyone have an idea why does Win XP in Virtual Box run faster than installed on the machine? [02:51] gadriel: it does? o.O [02:51] Ruge, and remember this has to be done BEFORE you install Winblows in VBox. After you install, if you increase # of CPUs, its not going to make any difference. [02:51] xp sucks gadriel [02:51] yeah it looks like it does [02:51] oh right, thanks for the heads up [02:51] pepee: its for all the other verision of Ubuntu but not 10.04 [02:51] havent really run any tests but definitely boots and runs faster [02:51] * basix hates sucky Windbloze =/ [02:51] yeah it boots mega quick, i remember that much [02:51] windows xp run it in a vm [02:52] gadriel: A virtual machine in theory can only be the same speed as a native install or slower. never faster. [02:52] gadriel, it was never meant to be run on real hardware =P [02:52] lol its funny how many people sell ubuntu for like $3-4 on ebay [02:52] zzz [02:52] ruge do they know its a free os [02:52] is anyone else unable to click on the settings options for the flash plugin under firefox/chromium in 9.10? [02:52] Its legal to sell disks isnt it? [02:52] flash sucks mmiusicari [02:52] srdgame: I really have not used Evolution that much, preferences I guess, but I know Tbird can do alot of that cross-over mail merge stuff. [02:52] evening and tia. i'm having problems with Ubuntu Server not powering off after issuing the shutdown command. so far have tried shutdown -h; halt; and poweroff... help? [02:52] Ruge, that is fine as you can charge a small fee for shipping + media. [02:53] Ruge and they say you can't make money from open source:P [02:53] brummbaer, maybe an ACPI issue [02:53] markdymek_: i'm aware of that, but we don't have much of an alternative, do we? :) [02:53] Spirits-Sight, "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu UBUNTU-VERSION-HERE main" [02:53] basix: they are charging $8 when shipping a CD in Australia costs like $1 haha [02:53] mgmuscari youtube is beta testing html 5 [02:53] basix, as in add noacpi to kernel line?

[02:56] been to the siite you point at [02:56] mgmuscari, there is a ppa for that xD [02:56] pepee: ^^ [02:56] basix, you think if it's acpi issue i may be able to find something about it in a logfile? [02:56] Spirits-Sight, well, there is no package for lucid... [02:56] needing some help with xrandr rotation... i rotated my external display and it now copies my mouse pointer from my main display to my external display.. only the mouse pointer doesn't do anything but look like its on the external monitor.... and it is still seen on main, still can use it on main. [02:56] pepee: ppa for what? [02:56] basix: The official one, but then I deleted it and did a fetch/dpkg [02:57] time for compiling... or just force the install of another version [02:57] Vigo, from where? [02:57] mgmuscari, latest firefox build [02:57] I wish the industry would ditch proprietary flash and go to something open. [02:57] basix: Was on the 3.7, reverted to 3.6, [02:57] brummbaer, i'm not sure. I would try searching for your BIOS version o [02:57] Vigo, why? [02:57] LinuxGuy2009: Gnash? [02:58] basix: Mozilla [02:58] Vigo, okay [02:58] eremite: yuk [02:58] LinuxGuy2009: HTML5 with SVG and
