[00:00] Aggrav8d: boot windows [00:00] pyro_: Try ctrl-alt-backspace. If that's disabled, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart should do it... [00:00] eremite: apt-cache dumpavail | less then /Package and n to skip to the next [00:00] Myrtti - same time. i'm running a little web server on the linux partition. [00:00] Aggrav8d: dualbooting windows 7 ubuntu seems to be a popular google search :) [00:00] !VirtualBox Aggrav8d [00:00] Losha: it mounts in gentoo and windows === mike_ is now known as Guest15421 [00:00] yeah, i guess i can just boot windows. [00:01] i wouldn't be doing it that often, anyhow. [00:01] Aggrav8d: seems youre using linux less than windows ;) but is dependent on linux .. run linux in a virtualmachine in win 7 [00:01] Aggrav8d: So you want to set up dual boot? [00:01] MozillaGuerrilla: Is the CD drive set as Boot in the BIOS? [00:01] see, this is why i need advice :) [00:01] eremite: apt-cache search '.*' | sort | less [00:01] Aggrav8d: trying to play newer games with virtualized windows is a bit... erhm. well, I guess some virtualisation systems actually *can* do proper gaming graphic stuff... not that I can remember any [00:01] cdsboy: then it *should* mount in Ubuntu, but it's ntfs, so it's all reverse-engineered and guesswork. Sorry, don't know what else to suggest... [00:01] eremite: Want only the package names? apt-cache search ".*" | awk {'print $1'} :) [00:01] !VirtualBox | Aggrav8d [00:01] Aggrav8d: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:01] Aggrav8d: win 7 does require more power than linux ;) .. so id run windows and run linux in virtualbox [00:02] Thank you madsen, that is exactly what I wanted! Cheers. [00:02] eremite: No problem. Glad I could help. :) [00:02] vigo, yes but it was like 3rd down the list but that shldn't matter should it? [00:02] ok .. well depending on what you do on the linux server ofcourse ,) but it just sounded like he was going to run lamp? [00:02] !dualboot | Aggrav8d [00:02] Aggrav8d: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:02] atm my setup is screwy and legacy. i am not tied to windows for any reason. the only reason i want windows is to occasionally play games. the linux box, however, should never be off. [00:02] * madsen is off to find answers to his font rendering problems... And sleep. Don't forget sleep! [00:03] well as i said earlier, i need to know how to make the device page, i know it uses mknod i just don't know how to use mknod [00:03] MozillaGeueilla: Yes, it really matters, one moment please, let me pull that page up. [00:03] vigo, (in boot order) [00:03] Aggrav8d: what do you use the linux comp for? other than lamp ? [00:03] cdsboy: you can try manually making the device, but I don't know if it will help. A normal ubuntu system will autodetect disks and autocreate the appropriate device entries... [00:04] freenode.net [00:04] .. [00:04] What time for next Ubuntu? [00:04] april? [00:04] cdsboy: I'm pretty sure you _don't_ want to use mknod these days, especially for such a "core" thing as a disk drive device... anyway man mknod is your friend [00:04] MozillaGuerilla: Here>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [00:04] hi [00:04] how do i change the application menu? [00:05] pull down menu [00:05] Do we have beta? [00:05] tuxuser: any other suggestions then? it works in gentoo and windows so i know its not corrupted. I read the man page for mknod and it made no sense to me ;) [00:05] ben__262: 04 = april .. 10 = october ;) .. xbmc uses same system :) just last time it got delayed and became .11 instead ;) [00:05] vigo, thanks! [00:05] cdsboy: AT YOUR OWN RISK: ls -l /dev/sdb1 and then use the same major number but bump up the minor number to make the device for /dev/sdc1 [00:05] spO: right click [00:05] hello [00:05] Hi! [00:06] does someone know a soft silimar to screenhunter? [00:06] !hi | ravibn [00:06] ravibn: 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! [00:06] for ubuntu? [00:06] MozillaGuerilla: You are very welcome, I hope that clears it up, and yes, it is quite important. But still make a backup, always make a backup. [00:06] Hey all, just wondering, you wouldn't knwo how to set a window to always on bottom, would you? I know you can set one to always on top, but what about never on top? The only solution I can think of is to set ALL windows to always on top except the one I need embedded onto my dekstop. [00:06] I need skype on ubuntu any links you can provide? [00:06] MozillaGuerrilla: you owuldnt happen to be the NR officer magillagorilla? [00:06] i don't like takescreenshot app [00:06] ravibn: what's wrong with the skype web page? [00:06] system > preference > main menu [00:07] ravibn: apt-get install skype [00:07] No thats my brother lol [00:07] ravibn: or fire up synaptic [00:07] cdsboy: did it ever work in ubuntu ? [00:07] MozillaGuerrilla: couldnt make out if youre serious or not [00:07] tuxuser: nope [00:07] ravibn: sudo apt-get install skype [00:07] Thanks terry_ [00:08] cdsboy: got a backup of the data? [00:08] Vigo, know of any irc channels regarding hardware? [00:08] sp0 [00:08] Losha: nope [00:08] MozillaGuerrilla: #hardware [00:08] jastor, not serious. [00:08] cdsboy: sorry, my question was not specific enough: did you ever see that sdc1 in ubuntu ? [00:08] MozillaGuerrilla: i doubt it .. but just asking if youre swedish anyway [00:08] tuxuser: i have never had a device page for sdc1 in ubuntu [00:08] cdsboy: what you're doing may trash the disk.... [00:08] losha, thanks (duh) lol [00:08] MozillaGuerrilla: tomshardwareguide :) [00:09] Losha: worse things could happen [00:09] MozzilaGuerilla: #hardware? I guess [00:09] cdsboy: was that fdisk output you pastebinned from ubuntu? [00:09] cdsboy: I guess you're searching for sdc1 because that's what e.g. gentoo calls it, right ? [00:09] jastor, no but im not against a good back rub [00:09] Losha: yes [00:09] tuxuser: no, because my fdisk calls it that [00:09] tuxuser: i just don't have a device page for it [00:09] tuxuser: see http://pastebin.com/MqkMjwbs, apparently from Ubuntu [00:09] did you find a 3d driver for [SiS] 771/671? [00:10] terry_ : That sudo apt-get install skype command gave me error " Pkg skype has no installation candidate" [00:10] cdsboy: AT YOUR OWN RISK: ls -l /dev/sdb1 and then use the same major number but bump up the minor number to make the device for /dev/sdc1 [00:10] MozillaGuerrilla: if you were scandinavian ;) i could recommend a ircchannel on quakenet .. [00:10] MozzilaGuerilla: You can always look at the /list and maybe hone the Hardware down to be more specific. [00:10] is there an easy way to get ps aux to output human readable sizes? [00:10] Losha: wrong pastebin id ? [00:10] MozillaGuerrilla: but wht type of hardware is it? hardware in general? or some problem and onlyon linux? [00:10] !skype | ravibn [00:10] ravibn: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [00:11] how to login my registered name? [00:11] cdsboy: ...fdisk _used_ to call that sdc1 ? [00:11] tuxuser: didn't the link work for you? [00:11] tuxuser: thats my current running fdisk [00:11] i 'd like to install compiz but seems to be imposible with my video card [00:11] tuxuser: like taken on this session [00:11] [SiS] 771/671 [00:11] ubottu: thanks I will try that link [00:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:12] cdsboy: did you try the mknod thing I mentioned above? [00:12] Losha: sorry, forgot to trim the comma at the end :-) [00:12] tuxuser: :-) [00:12] Losha: i'm sorry, brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2010-03-17 15:43 /dev/sdb1, i don't understand where the major number is from that [00:13] cdsboy: what do you mean by "device page" ? [00:13] tuxuser: /dev/sdc1 [00:13] Jastor, Its an older HP desktop, i cant get it to load or boot the ubuntu live disc. I get a blue"UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT" screen.I think the HD might be shot [00:13] cdsboy: but you say it's there, right ? [00:13] tuxuser: no, if it was there, we wouldn't be having this problem [00:13] tuxuser: well i wouldn't [00:13] tuxuser: fdisk says it _should_ be there [00:13] ubunttu server 9.10 premade .VDI for sun virtual machine (not ose) no internet connection on the virtual server, shows only connection as loopback(127.0.0.1) any suggestions on how to reset the adapter settings in the ubuntu machine [00:14] MozillaGuerrilla: ok .. tried unplugging the hd? [00:14] who can help me with some lucid problems? [00:14] cdsboy: looks like major number 8, minor number 17. You could try mknod b 8 18, assuming sdc1 is on the same controller as sdb1 but 'one over' if you see what I mean... [00:14] MozillaGuerrilla: or could just be that you got the wrong bootorder === assos_ is now known as assos [00:14] cdsboy: this is all black magic, you understand... [00:14] cdsboy: so fdisk -l shows /dev/sdc1 but ls /dev/sdc1 says "not found ?" [00:15] MozillaGuerrilla: depending on if its just old .. or really old .. there are various ways to get into the bios and see [00:15] ubunttu server 9.10 premade .VDI for sun virtual machine (not ose) no internet connection on the virtual server, shows only connection as loopback(127.0.0.1) any suggestions on how to reset the adapter settings in the ubuntu machine [00:15] tuxuser: that's about the size of it... [00:15] Looking at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc1/ - apparently the Ubuntu team enabled TRIM support in this custome kernels - cant find anything in changelog - can anyone confirm/deny? [00:15] MozillaGuerrilla: check during the bios stuff if theres any reference to a F1-12 key or DEL [00:15] tuxuser: yes [00:15] does anyone know how to make plymouth work? [00:16] MozillaGuerrilla: or if its a really old computer .. restart the bios three or four times in a row with ctrl+alt+del [00:16] I have a 250gb hdd and i just deleted the 200gb windows partition and I'm wondering why the 50gb linux partition didnt just spread out [00:16] nishanth: lucid support on #ubuntu+1 only... [00:16] how do i make it one big 250gm hdd again? [00:16] nishanth: see http://www.python.org [00:16] actually no I hadn't tried that. I got to the BIOS and it had the drive in 3rd order and it was enabled. I tried moving it up to the first in boot order but couldn't figure it out [00:16] "restart the computer during bios" i mean [00:16] Losha: mknod: missing operand after `18' [00:16] bigtom21485: partitions don't just resize themselves, you have to resize them using e.g. gparted.... [00:16] cdsboy: ok, so please don't call it a device "page", it's a device "node". That said, I checked on my ubuntu 9.10 and all the partitions have their /dev node. What version are you using ? [00:17] bigtom21485, because the partition is limited. Thats what partitioning does. Use a linux Live CD to make using GPARTED to resize your partition. [00:17] MozillaGuerrilla: that just shows which ide/sata channel its on ;) not in which order it boots [00:17] oh [00:17] MozillaGuerrilla: oh wait .. did you mean you wereinside the bios? or in the bootup bios info stuff=? [00:17] how do i readd a cd rom drive to ubuntu? [00:17] bigtom21485, sorry, that didnt make a lick of sense. lol. Use a Live CD to resize your partition using the program gparted. [00:17] tuxuser: sorry, i'm on 9.10. [00:18] mark__: Please restate your question. [00:18] for my level of knowledge, would reinstalling ubuntu allow me to do the same thing? [00:18] cdsboy: sorry, mknod /dev/sdc1 b 8 18 I thought you'd check the man page yourself... [00:18] i got to it by tapping the F1 key during the boot [00:18] i did, it was gibberish to me xD [00:18] MozillaGuerrilla: if you were inside the bios and could change settings. .. page up/page down, + and - , f5 and d6 are teh variations ive seen that lets you change order [00:18] well .. the varaitions i remember anyway ; [00:18] ;) [00:19] eremite do i get to gparted using the command line or the gui? [00:19] How do I change the screen resolution for the login screen (it's still gdm right)? [00:19] Losha: no suck luck, "mount: /dev/sdc1 is not a valid block device" [00:19] cdsboy: it's "create device node /dev/sdc1 which is a block (b) device, with major number 8 and minor number 18 (those are telling the kernel what hw device that node is to be tied to)" [00:19] MozillaGuerrilla: sometimes you just have to select "first boot device" .. press enter and select from alist ,) [00:19] guess the black magic didn't work xD [00:19] bigtom21485: yes, reinstalling from scratch will let you resize the partitions, but you'll lose any data... [00:19] xD...like the scion [00:19] losha: is gparted accessable from the gui or do i type something into the command line? [00:20] yea that was pretty much the way it was. So if I moved it up to the primary boot you thnk that mgt do the trick? [00:20] cdsboy: it was a long shot anyway, something about your filesystem/OS/hardware isn't normal. [00:20] bigtom21485: gui [00:20] bigtom21485: gparted is gui [00:20] how do i send a message on a chat to multiple people without pm-ing? [00:20] cdboy: btw, you should try mkdir /mnt/disk && mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk (as root) [00:20] bigtom21485: to everyone in a channel? [00:20] bigtom21485: which filesystem are you resizing. If it's the system partition, you have to do it from the live cd [00:20] tuxuser: yeah did that. [00:21] bigtom21485: or only specific? [00:21] tuxuser: first thing i tried xD [00:21] losha i have a live cd do i do the "try ubuntu without installing" option? [00:21] bigtom21485: just include their nicks in the message? [00:21] tuxuser: results are at the bottom of the link [00:21] bigtom21485: yes, from there, you'll be able to run gparted and resize things... [00:21] Losha: well yes that killed everyting [00:21] anyone have any experince installing sta driver for linux? [00:22] pyrosys: sorry. Are you back to blue? [00:22] mark__: Should already be there. [00:22] sta? [00:22] on the plus side I have had incredible results running ubuntu in VirtualBox! I can't believe how great it works. [00:22] nope [00:22] its not installed [00:22] what was the link to the orig as appareantly i saved the modified as the orig when i backed it up [00:22] bigtom21485: do you want ot send to everyone at teh same time the same message? or only specific people? [00:22] cdsboy: I'm sorry, I don't think I can add ideas to this issue, I've never seen a system where fdisk -l would report a device that is not there in /dev... btw are /dev/sda1, etc. there ? [00:22] Losha: i am on windows to even get here [00:22] i downloaded it [00:22] MozillaGuerilla: That sounds like the fix, that install page I linked explains that well. [00:23] @terry_ tried to install but didn't work [00:23] How do I make terminal session start automatically after login to Ubuntu? I've tried startup programs, it doesn't work [00:23] mark__: Sorry, don't know anything about sta [00:23] tuxuser: all reported stuff for /dev/sda and /dev/sdb work [00:24] i've never run into this problem either [00:24] anyone familar with sta drivers for linux? their from broadcom [00:24] pyrosys: Sorry, Now you'll have to run the live cd, mount the disk, and put the old xorg.conf back [00:24] how can i tell if my ubuntu server 9.10 has dhcp server installed [00:24] haavaros: If you leave one open and logout, you should have it when you log back in again. [00:24] cdsboy: what kind of hardware is this? === ben__262 is now known as benlu [00:25] cdsboy: stupid question: did a reboot fix the issue ? === JediMaster is now known as Guest51936 [00:25] Losha: do you have the link to the orig, i tried what i backedup appreantyl after looking at it i saved the modified one [00:25] cdsboy: any syslog or dmesg or /var/log/messages anomaly ? [00:25] Losha: i need to know what to change it back to, and how to edit a file in command line [00:25] desaints: dpkg -L |grep dhpcd [00:25] hello.. i made a folder in ubuntu to use the file in vista , but i cna't get the folder in vista.. wat's wrong anyboxy plz ( i'm dual booting vista and UBUNTU ULTIMATE ) [00:26] !ultimate | rameshwor [00:26] rameshwor: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [00:26] desaints: apt-cache pkgnames | grep -i dhcp; [00:26] rameshwor: what's ubuntu "ultimate" ? LOL [00:26] and cna't even delete the folder.. [00:26] pyrosys: the only difference between the old one and the new one should be line 60, which should say: Driver "nvidia" [00:26] hello, wanted to find the best option for mirroring the entire server, to get your opinions [00:26] SORRRY !!!!

[00:27] i believe DHCP is installed will that cause the machine to try to acquire an ip from itself? [00:28] rameshwor: dmesg [00:28] Losha: or is only way from booting a live cd [00:28] !ultimate | rameshwor [00:28] rameshwor: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [00:28] Hello everyone. My ubuntu installation went just fine but whenever the system boots into GUI, the screen goes black with the backlight on and nothing on display. The same thing happened before when I tried booting Ubuntu from the LiveCD so I had to do an installation from the text-based alternative CD [00:28] Is there any way to get the GUI to work? [00:28] hey losha, got a minute, got webserver finally configured right and i wanted to make sure i use a correct backup plan so i dont have to ever go through this again [00:28] terry_: : i meant the location [00:28] pyrosys: try nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use the arrow keys... [00:28] its across the net though [00:28] civpro: sorry, hands full right now... [00:28] Slart: i found this bit of code in the ubuntu launchpad , the guy had a similar problem. what does it do? sudo -pv/mount/cdrom0 [00:28] ah ok [00:28] it is working actually, as I can even hear the startup sound - just nothing displays on the screen. [00:28] can u give me a shout when u get a minute m8? [00:29] just msg me [00:29] if possible [00:29] Zehrila-: do you get a Grub menu at boot? [00:29] tuxuser: yeah its claiming it has an unknown partition table [00:29] Typos_King: Yes, I do. [00:29] Losha: will try hopefully back on ubuntu in a few [00:29] which is weird [00:29] cdsboy: yeah, fdisk should complain too... [00:30] tuxuser: one would think [00:30] can i link my computer thought if it 2 min down the road [00:30] cdsboy: smartctl -a or smartctl -t long and then smartctl -a ? Sorry but I'm running out of smart questions :-) [00:31] Zehrila-: once at the menu, select your ubuntu entry to boot with, press 'e' to edit the line, scroll down to the line that has the /boot/vmlinuz..... go to the end of it, and add -> acpi=off noapic; press Ctrl-x to boot from line [00:31] How do I change the screen resolution for the login screen? [00:31] cdsboy: I would try it with 8.04 LTS live cd if I were you. It's the most bug-free of the releases... [00:31] Losha: well that wouldn't help me fix my release xD [00:31] Typos_King: Do I include the semi-colon after noapic? [00:32] How do I uninstall ubuntu? [00:32] cdsboy: it's not clear your release is ever going to work with that particular hardware... [00:32] can i link my computer thought if it 2 min down the road [00:32] Losha: :( [00:32] cdsboy: sorry to ask again, but did a reboot make some difference ? [00:32] tuxuser: nay [00:32] cdsboy: what *is* the hardware, btw? Anything special about it you've not told us? [00:33] is there a list of ubuntu packages that need new maintainers? [00:33] Losha: standard intel motherboard using its controller [00:33] cdsboy: sata, pci, usb? [00:33] can i link my computer thought if it 2 min down the road [00:33] anyone know how to install sta drivers? [00:33] Zehrila-: no :) just acpi=off noapic [00:33] Losha: sata [00:34] mark__: Are you sure you don't already have them? [00:34] Losha: [2:0:0:0] disk ATA ST3500630AS 3.AA /dev/sdc from lsscsi [00:34] terry positive [00:34] Zehrila-: that's to bypass the acpi module, which causes issues, usually a blank screen at boot [00:34] terry not on my systerm [00:34] who can i link my cp thought [00:34] mark__: Do you have a sata device attached? [00:34] how [00:34] @terry not sata sta [00:35] @terry its a driver for wireless [00:35] cdsboy: well, if it's a 9.10 bug it's new to me. Options include putting the drive in an external enclosure and accessing via usb. Or try 8.04? [00:35] Typos_King it didnt work [00:35] cdsboy: sorry I have to go now. Good luck. And good night :-) by losha [00:35] s/by/bye/ [00:35] @terry its the sta linux wiressless driver for 802.11n cards [00:35] tuxuser: bye, thanks for playing. Helps to have an extra set of eyes... [00:35] got it working [00:35] eheh [00:36] Zehrila-: I assume you didn't press ctrl-x to boot from line? rather than pressing enter which changes nothing and uses whatever WAS there [00:36] for some reason it installed b43 instead of sta [00:36] Typos_King I did press ctrl+x and it did go through the booting sequence [00:36] ubuntu #1 [00:37] but after those several lines scrolled past really fast, when it came time for the GUI to load, I got a back-lit black screen [00:37] cdsboy: just a thought, swap the sdb and sdc sata ports & see if it makes a difference... [00:37] something like a gray textured wallpaper did appear for a split second [00:37] can someone help me with some plymouth problems? [00:37] before the screen turned black [00:37] Zehrila-: you pressed ctrl-x right after typing in those arguments? [00:37] Typos_King yup, so I did [00:37] ok, how can I switch to ubuntu 8.04 [00:37] nishanth: you mean python? [00:37] Zehrila-: now we know is not that then :) [00:38] dbook82: What are you on now? [00:38] Zehrila-: what about the 'safe mode' option? does it work?

[00:41] terry: correction matshita dvd-ram [00:41] but was thinking syncing would be the best option as it could run on a cron job and only on changed files [00:41] losha: my apologies. backuppc has an effeminate, windows-sounding name, but it is actually very linuxy in its design and great to use.

[00:59] dbook82: I don't know what to tell you, but have a pretty good idea the drive works and you just don't realize it. [00:59] hi all... i'm trying to do SSH with X11 forwarding to a remote machine from my ubuntu... i did ssh -X to that remote machine, and in there, i set up the DISPLAY env variable to point to my mahcine (say ... export DISPLAY=10.147.18.18:0).. but then when i tried to run xterm it complains about 'Can't open display: 10.147.18.18').

[01:00] like the web interface jacko and losha [01:00] terry: from the help i've gotten here, we've found ubuntu recognizes the drive, but i can't mount it, and can't run anything [01:00] definitely nice [01:00] NeoCicak: if you want to use x11 tunneling through ssh you shouldnt be setting your DISPLAY env var manually [01:00] civpro: fair enough, that's a good reason to go with it... [01:00] How to use traceroute in Ubuntu Karmic? [01:00] NeoCicak: if it isnt working for you, you probably need to enable it in the sshd_config of the server and/or ssh_config on the client [01:01] ilovethislinuxst: you being smart has nothing to do with it, we just don't know the answer... [01:01] danl: apt-get install, checks the cache whenever it tries to install anything, BUT if it finds it already there, it doesn't download it, sooooo, I can... say have the Gimp .debs, I dump them in the cache folder, tell apt-get to install gimp, it finds all files, it says, need to fetch 0kb of 5mbs or so :), there's an app also to back them all up too, AptOnCD [01:01] ubuntu linux for humans, yeah right. [01:01] jacko_ : oh... so what do i need to do? i 've checked those files that you mentioned.... [01:01] civpro: yeah, its really nice to use. i love it. it's the only open-source backup solution i've used, but it's lightyears ahead of legato networker or veritas netbackup in terms of usability.

[01:02] ilovethislinuxst, they don't get much dumber than me, and Ive been using Ubuntu off and on for 2 years :D, hang in there man!

Have you tried empathy yet? perhaps it knows how to do yahoo with voice [01:02] terry: i've downloaded 8.04 just haven't made a disk yet. 1) don't want to use another dvd-r 2) i SHOULD be able to use my drive with 9.10. GRR its frustrating... [01:02] i can't believe there's not one person on here that can help me with my question. [01:02] jacko_: hmm.. you are right.... i can just ssh -X to another machine, do xterm and it works..... [01:02] ilovethislinuxst: have you checked the forums yet? [01:02] dbook82: agreed, it's frustrating. I feel your pain... [01:03] terry: i have a ton of info on a thread i posted on ubuntu forums, would you like the link? [01:03] ilovethislinuxst: At this point, I don't even know what your question is. All I know is that you are surprised it hasn't been answered. [01:03] dbook82: You SHOULD be able to use it. I don't see why not. Yes, send me the link. [01:03] jacko_ : so something must be wrong in that first machine.... the problem is that i already have DISPLAY env variable set in that first machine, so i thought i need to change it to point to my machine [01:03] how can i add locations to locate? [01:03] so so frustrating [01:03] Typos_King: worked like a charm... -d, them delete, then, -m --no-download [01:03] Typos_King: thanks [01:03] dbook82: But first. Is this system fully updated?

Pidgin or Empathy are the two most popular clients for Ubuntu. [01:05] terry: difine fully updated?

Pidgin does not supoprt voice. Empathy supports, at a minimum, GTalk and Jabber (I do not know about other protocols) [01:05] Losha: thank you. Will try that now :) [01:05] * Typos_King dashes [01:05] Spaztic_One: if I can, my batting average isn't exactly brilliant lately...

[01:07] myrtti, i really am listening. so far no one has one that works. alotough i apprecieat e the suggestions. [01:07] Spaztic_One: nothing to it, just put in the windows install cd, and, er, install... [01:07] Or is there something else I can setup [01:07] and by the way, the words and lines are flying past my screeen. [01:07] so it's tough to keep up. [01:07] Losha, I didn't overwrite Windows. I did a dual install without re-partitioning. [01:07] ilovethislinuxst: you could atleast acknowledge that the suggestions you've been given you've already tried, so people know not to suggest them again. [01:08] Spaztic_One: ok, so you want to delete the linux partitions and grow the windows one to use up the freed space?

[01:09] i need something that works. i'm sure someone has found something that works %100. [01:09] Losha, yes, basically. when I had the Ubuntu CD, it chose "Install within Windows" [01:09] madjoe: no, you don't need to uninstall it [01:09] Does anyone know why when I try installing and I get to this screen: http://i.imgur.com/CGGxm.jpg it just sits there and does nothing? [01:09] Myrtti: Does tracepath require traceroute? [01:09] ilovethislinuxst: it might just be that there is *no* app that does yahoo voice. I've not heard of a one. [01:09] Spaztic_One: oh, was that a wubi install do you know? [01:09] madjoe: no. [01:09] the stock jaunty kernel seems to have conntrack built in to the kernel (instead of a module, so i can't blacklist it)... i don't need a stateful firewall, and conntrack is dropping packets due to not enough memory. This machine is memory-bound, so increasing the conntrack memory isn't a good idea. Is there a way to disable connection tracking? [01:09] Ok im using ubuntu desktop as a VM server now im now going to have anything attached to the server like a mouse, keyboard or monitor so I can use the remote desktop because it requires confirmation on the system you trying to connect to is there somthing else I can use?

[01:10] Any suggestions or ideas [01:10] spaztic: wubi is a windows install of linux [01:11] Spaztic_One: http://wubi-installer.org/ Is that what you used? [01:11] mumphster: it's probably doing something, but you'll need to tell it to tell you what that is [01:11] what [01:11] Ok seriously does no one have a suggestions [01:11] *suggestion [01:11] Can someone give me the show me an application that can batch convert NEF images to Jpeg?? [01:12] Myrtti: no, doesn't work... [01:12] mumphster: see where it gives you a chance to press ESC? [01:12] What have you used scarra3 [01:12] yes it gives me an option to boot to windows [01:12] Losha: That has the correct logo, but my download was from www.ubuntu.com [01:12] or finish my ubuntu install [01:12] how can i make portmap start before nfs-kernel-server? i cannot mount any shares unless i manually stop nfs, restart portmap, and then start nfs [01:12] You half to be more specific l3iohazard [01:12] dbook82: Now you know that when you put a CD into the drive and close it, nothing will happen until you make it happen, Right? [01:12] mumphster: it also allows you to change the boot parameters of ubuntu [01:12] rohithwiz23: i already did. ufraw [01:12] or give it a grub command [01:12] oaky but why would I need to do this [01:12] Well first what do you want to do? [01:12] I'm using wubi by the way [01:12] that's why i don't want to try it [01:12] without knowing. [01:12] mumphster: so you can change the kernel line to not include the 'quiet splash' options [01:13] k im using ubuntu desktop as a VM server now im now going to have anything attached to the server like a mouse, keyboard or monitor so I can use the remote desktop because it requires confirmation on the system you trying to connect to is there somthing else I can use?

[01:13] jacko_: Its not batch converting.. i can only do it one at a time [01:13] mumphster: it tells you which buttons to press in order to [e]dit a line [01:13] is there an empathe channel? [01:13] Spaztic_One: you know, I don't know much about it. Best wait for someone who knows it better than I, sorry.... World:1 Losha:0 [01:13] dbook82: What happens when you give the command eject ?

[01:23] The partition I backed up was a hfs+, but there is no way to make an hfs+ in linux, so I figured that a clone of the partition would do.

I'm trying to investigate where the problem is.. so you can hop to croatian network then? but not to go all the way to my pc? [01:39] Hick0rd: I don't think that's how it works. I think it's a script that runs each time you login.... [01:39] dbook82: But just just to see what you have, show your /etc/group file. pastebinit /etc/group [01:39] madjoe: correct. [01:39] Gnea: so "the problem" is between me and my ISP [01:39] dbook82: Let us take a look. [01:39] can u list creation date of a file in terminal? [01:40] Losha, script = file [01:40] pepper_haze: most apps don't run exactly the same in wine as they do under windows. Most don't work at all... [01:40] Losha, exactly [01:40] terry: ok doing the paste bin it thing only bring up pastebin.com [01:40] madjoe: I think you're right [01:40] dbook82: Then just upload the file. [01:40] Gnea: could it possible be my configuration's fault? is there something I should do with Ubuntu to double check it? firewall (which I haven't installed), or something like that? [01:40] Hick0rd: script = executable file that *runs* when you login, generating output. Not the same as a plain old text file.... [01:40] terry: i'm using gedit [01:41] losha, thanks for the info [01:41] I was running a app before in wine that worked, but now it doesn't work at all [01:41] madjoe: not likely, your ISP has its own policy set in place [01:41] Like it works, but I am getting less of the graphics with it [01:41] Losha, can you help me on this?

I already installed many times the flashplugin here, but still have no sound on flash videos [01:52] terry: hang on i just put in a different disc, we'll find out [01:52] terry: works the same on my 8.10 as well. [01:53] cecilia_, Be patient [01:53] Someone will get around to helping you [01:53] Ten-Eight: Well, I thought so, but from the way he talked, it didn't because he kept saying that nothing was happening.

[01:58] wicked, uses what it needs [01:58] if i kill X from the cmd line, it restarts, but loses it's vnc server. how do i start it the same way it starts when rebooting, so that it has a vnc server attached? [01:58] losha or jacko 1 more question [01:58] civpro: ask away... [01:58] Wicked, you may have frequency scaling enabled -- your CPU may be slowing itself down when it is idle to conserve power [01:58] jiohdi, hmm...so like..under heavy load that will change? [01:58] i see [01:58] its a brand new system...so very well could be [01:58] ill have to look into that. thanks guys :) [01:59] It's my modem, Motorola sm56, I had built the drivers for it afaik, and installed wvdial and the like, set up my sudo pppconfig, but when I try wvdial, It sends my modem init strings, then says modem not responding, when I try pon provider nothing happens [01:59] no, im trying to install a game, and i need to extract does files. unshield is supposed to do that but i get an error [01:59] dbook82: i just put an audio cd in my drive, it read the disc and up came Rhythmbox to play it for me. [01:59] wicked, I have a laptop and i have the panel thing for cpu frequency, it usually rests at 800 but goes up to 2G on load [01:59] dbook82: is the cd you're trying to read a "factory stamped cd" or a burned cd? [02:00] anyone could help me? I already installed many times the flashplugin here, but still have no sound on flash videos [02:00] terry: "factory" [02:00] jiohdi, ah. this is litterly brand new...i dont even have the os installed yet...just booted a livecd and noticed it only said 800mhz...and then the whole fake i7 core intel chips from newegg came to mind hehe [02:00] ok, can u walk me through writing a script to run because i cant seem to get the ssh certs to work so i dont have a password prompt, should be able to write a 2 line bash script shouldnt i? [02:00] just to take care of password [02:00] dbook82: you're using 9.10, correct?

[02:01] ок [02:01] 10x [02:01] anyone use amarok [02:01] dbook82: What did you do? sudo apt-get install amarok [02:02] civpro: it doesn't work how you think. ssh won't read passwords from a file, as a security measure. You'd need to run a special program called 'expect' to script it. Might be easier to get ssh certs working! [02:02] terry: downloaded from ubuntu sftware center [02:02] I did that and all it installed was version 2.2.0 [02:03] ok [02:03] working on that now [02:03] thanks [02:03] Nollog: not really, it's all smoke and mirrors...

[02:05] but still nothing... any ideas? [02:05] terry: i'm gonna reboot right quick brb [02:06] lol it is funny to see after performing an apt-get upgrade i have more disk space available ^^ [02:06] cecilia: What are you using? 9.10? 9.04? [02:06] 9.04 [02:06] or 9.10 maybe [02:06] it is a good troll over winblow users [02:06] what log files should i watch to diagnose network erros [02:07] i know its tail something [02:07] the command [02:07] ifconfig ? tcpdump ? [02:08] My sound works fine unless I have headphones plugged in. I've tried 2 sets of headphones, and it doesn't work with either set, so it's not the headphones. The volume is not muted (it's at 100%) for the headphones either in alsamixer. How can I diagnose and fix this? [02:08] no theres a log that you can view that tells you what your adapter is doing [02:08] like so you can see whats going on [02:08] jrtayloriv: That would depend on what you're plugging the headphones into... [02:09] anyone here have ut2004 running ? [02:09] Hi [02:09] anyone know? [02:09] Hi Stephie [02:09] mark__: do you mean dmesg? Just type dmesg at the command line and see if that gives you any useful info [02:09] Ghost, a laptop Gateway m6888u [02:09] Ghost|BTFH, a laptop Gateway m6888u [02:09] Hello eremite [02:09] It's chronological with the most recent at the bottom. If your network card is behaving badly the driver will likely report to dmesg [02:10] Of course, if your network card thinks it's working correctly, it may say nothing of import. So ymmv. [02:10] no you have it run awhile your trying to connect [02:10] anyone can help-me with pidgin? [02:10] I was just in here, and asked for help but my irc client crashed so I don't know if anyone responded [02:10] jrtayloriv: So, you're plugging into a headphone jack...and you're using ALSA and not Pulse, correct? === marcus_ is now known as stsfanatic [02:10] mark__: Not sure then, sorry. [02:10] if i kill X from the cmd line, it restarts, but loses it's vnc server. how do i start it the same way it starts when rebooting, so that it has a vnc server attached? [02:11] Ghost|BTFH, yes, into the headphone jack, and I am using whatever is installed by default, I think ALSA [02:11] Yeap: what kind of Pidgin problem? [02:11] does anyone know [02:11] what do you want to do mark ? [02:11] jrtayloriv: Ubuntu 9.10? [02:11] mark__: [02:11] yes [02:11] Ghost, yes [02:11] arrrgh [02:11] i know you use tail [02:11] Ghost|BTFH, ^^^ [02:11] i just can't remember the rest of the command [02:12] Um, Can anyone help me set up my modem? It's a motorola sm56, I'm trying to dialout, I have installed wvdial, build essentials, sm56setup and sl-modem-daemon, Can anyone help me out? [02:12] jrtayloriv: You have PulseAudio installed by default. System -> Preferences -> Sound. [02:12] @matu whats up? [02:12] when's beta1 coming out [02:12] When I try wvdial it sends my modem init strings and says modem not responding, and pon doesn't work [02:12] jrtayloriv: Root around in there, you should be able to figure it out...sadly, I don't do Pulse, so I can't guide you further. I rip it out right after installation. [02:12] mark__: first, you don't need to be running tail while you're trying to connect. Tail monitors a file for additional lines, so if you're using tail the thing you're monitoring is being written to a file anyway [02:12] Yeap: what kind of Pidgin problem are you having? [02:12] how do I set how long the notification applet's bubbles stay up? It irritates me to see it on for a loooong time.. can I make it click to go away? [02:12] mark__: The relevant files should all be in /var/logs, but I really think dmesg is the only one that will help you [02:13] Ghost|BTFH, Do you think replacing it w/ alsa would fix my problem? [02:13] You can just run the command dmesg -- you could also tail the files in /var/log but I doubt it will give you more useful info [02:13] hello everyone [02:13] hi, is it possible to change how many seconds totem skips ahead or back when you hit the arrow keys? either via gconf or other means... [02:13] ok i [02:14] m back [02:14] cal__: they are started from different places. When you reboot, the boot-time scripts run and start vnc along with a whole load of other things, including X. When you just restart X, it's not a reboot so the boot scripts don't run. You could re-run the boot script when X restarts, but without a bit of fancy programming, you'll end up with two vncservers when you reboot, one started by the boot scripts and one started by X. See the problem? [02:14] So I'm trying to install via Wubi and I keep getting suck at this point and it wont go any further: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v50/Grunt/?action=view¤t=CIMG0010.jpg [02:14] jrtayloriv: I would try what I suggested first - especially if you're having zero issues elsewhere in your sound. But if you're having other issues...ALSA is a good way to go, you just have to go through a few steps to set it up. [02:14] and I just tested my ram and its all in good order [02:14] :/ [02:14] Hey, did anyone took his/her picture for an SSH account at BlueHost? :) [02:14] I'm thinking of doing that but it's just so weird. [02:15] help welp help [02:15] madjoe: no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure it's on-topic? [02:15] l7: not that I know of. [02:15] losha: You agree with my decision? [02:16] Ten-Eight: oh well, i'll use VLC [02:16] Can someone please help me.. [02:16] totem is a nice program otherwise though [02:16] l7: sorry...yeah, it is a nice program. I use mPlayer and it seems to do very well for me. [02:17] mumphster: It may have to do with the manga guide to databases, to be honest... [02:17] Spaztic_One: not the decision, but I agree with all the criticisms and the reasons. You're are not the first person to make those observations. Why do you think linux is still only 1% of desktop systems out there. And this is off-topic... [02:17] Ghost|BTFH: perhaps. [02:17] :( [02:17] I want this ubuntu install to work argh [02:17] Losha: http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/index.php/kb/article/180 I was trying to connect to their MySQL database with my Ubuntu, but I guess I'll need an SSH account, because I'm not able to connect directly. [02:17] mumphster: In all seriousness...how long did you let it sit like that? [02:18] i let it sit overnight once [02:18] nothing happened [02:18] Stephie: I wish I could, I don't use dial-up anymore. Is the modem a hardware modem like an external USR? Most of the hardware modems are supported. [02:18] can someone help me trouble shoot my wireless issue [02:18] mumphster: Okay, because I was gonna say, I've had some that sat for 5-10 minutes and then finally finished up what it needed to do. Does it work fine in LiveCD mode? [02:18] madjoe: that makes sense. I probably wouldn't let anyone connect to me unless it was over ssh.... [02:18] No, It's internal [02:18] Anyone ? Can I change for how long the notification bubbles are displayed? [02:18] Motorola sm56 [02:18] Ghost|BTFH: last time I checked yes [02:18] but that was about a week ago [02:19] Stephie: a winmodem type? [02:19] and I just checked my ram like 15 minutes ago [02:19] yes [02:19] and it all tested out fine [02:19] mumphster: I'd check that, make sure the CD is a-ok... [02:19] its via wubi [02:19] and ive tried via a cd too [02:19] same error [02:19] mumphster: If that's not the case, then we've narrowed it down to something to do with installing via wubi. [02:19] well lack of error [02:19] Ah [02:19] It's happened from both [02:19] Losha: oh, no... they are not blocking me to connect remotely to my database over there.. there's a whitelist in Cpanel you can assign with your own IP... but it's my ISP [02:19] ya I'm stumped [02:20] mumphster: So doing an actual install gives the same issue? [02:20] harisund: I'm not aware of any way to configure the notification functionality at all =< [02:20] Ghost|BTFH: yp [02:20] yup* [02:20] mumphster: Have you checked for any compatibility issues with 9.10 vs your lappy? [02:20] marginoferror: that sucks :( It stays on for way too much longer than I want it to [02:20] Stephie: does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=460331 [02:20] Ten-Eight: I'm pretty sure I had built the drivers for it, and had it all set up (I think) and when I tried wvdial it sent my modem some initilization strings, but then it said modem isn't responding [02:20] Ghost|BTFH: ya theres none. I had the same issue with the last version of ubuntu too [02:20] its a hp mini 311 [02:20] Hi all ! [02:21] i need help [02:21] network not working [02:21] driving me CRAZY!!!! [02:21] Losha [02:21] SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! [02:22] Do you understand what it all is, Because I just recently had installed linux, back on xp to fix this, I'd need someone to help me through it [02:22] Losha: I thought it was my Ubuntu's fault for a moment.. I don't know how Ubuntu deals with something like a firewall on windows.. I guess it's not necessary... or? [02:22] It's happened 3 times in i'd say...2 months. but ubuntu sometimes randomly logs me out to the login screen. any thoughts? [02:22] I guess ill sit and wait and see if anyone answers via launchpad [02:22] mumphster: 32bit or 64? [02:22] I'm guessing 32. [02:22] anyone know the best way to kill a detached screen process if i have the sessionid? [02:22] Stephie: I assume the modem is supported then if you have the correct drivers? [02:23] Ghost|BTFH: 32bit [02:23] hey [02:23] 3 gigs of ram installed [02:23] any lxde users in here? [02:23] Stephie: I assume the modem is supported then if you have the correct drivers? [02:23] digitalfiz: run ps ax to find the pid, and then kill -TERM [02:23] Stephie: I assume the modem is supported then if you have the correct drivers? [02:23] well, There wasn't any actual drivers for it for linux [02:23] how would i set up lxde's pcman file manager to always use image viewer to open up jpegs, etc/ [02:24] I had used something like Losha linked me to, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=460331 [02:24] for instance, i try to open a jpeg, i select image viewer from the list in open with, but there is no option to always use it to open this type of file [02:24] digitalfiz: Add to you panel "Force Quit" and you can do it in GUI. [02:25] mumphster: It looks like there *might* be a slight issue with the wireless card...I'm seeing a bug report on it causing intermittent boot issues until they used different drivers...this *could* be causing it to not install properly as well. [02:26] Ten-Eight: what's with the repeating act? [02:26] Ghost|BTFH: that would cause an issue mounting to ram [02:26] or whatever that thing is that its getting caught on [02:26] LoRez: he wanted to get my attention [02:26] don't know....something just stopped working and I was booted. [02:26] sorry [02:26] Or that [02:26] Stephie: that's not the proper way to do it. [02:26] how would i set up lxde's pcman file manager to always use image viewer to open up jpegs, etc? [02:26] for instance, i try to open a jpeg, i select image viewer from the list in open with, but there is no option to always use it to open this type of file [02:26] Don't tell me, I was guessing. [02:26] LoRez: I apologize. I have no idea what happened there. [02:27] Well, if he didn't believe in love at first sight, he might have considered walking past a second time...never know. [02:27] Ten-Eight: looks like you lagged so you felt the need to up-enter a couple times. [02:27] Ghost|BTFH: is there any fix for it that you know of [02:27] ISP may have had a hiccup. connection seemed pretty solid. [02:27] guess not. [02:27] anyway, my apologies to everyone. [02:28] mumphster: *Thinking* Well...you *could* always try turning off the wireless to see if you can install like that...but most lappies will just turn it right back on during the installation process... [02:28] mumphster: Or you could physically pull the card and try to install and see if that works... [02:28] Ten-Eight [02:28] welp [02:28] Losha, ty :) madjoe i was looking for a cli command since i need to be able to do it in a script im writing [02:28] I might as well just stick to windows [02:28] Stephie: yes? [02:29] Ten-Eight: Do you think you could help me do this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=460331 [02:29] mumphster: If that does work, you can also use this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/479597 to fix the drivers so it won't happen again. [02:29] HowardtheDuck: Rightclick on your file, go to Properties, then tab "Open With". [02:30] mumphster: Saying that is like saying, "I might as well continue dating prostitutes..." It might seem like the solution, but you're going to pick up a virus and it'll cost you a lot of money in the long run. ;) [02:30] Losha, does -TERM let the running process shutdown cleanly? [02:30] Ghost|BTFH: it looks like that bug allows the user to actualy install though [02:30] I cant even install [02:30] Stephie: type "lspci" in a terminal window. does the modem show up on the list? [02:30] I can't, I had to reinstall windows XP [02:30] mumphster: Indeed...however it was just a thought. It could be the CD...could be a lot of things...you could even try an alternative CD to see if that would work better... [02:30] since I couldn't get online [02:31] Stephie: aaahhh....okay then. [02:31] Ten-Eight: sorry not used to having to type out the name of who I'm talking to [02:31] ill try booting straight up debian [02:31] digitalfiz: yes, it sends a terminate signal to the process. A well written process will catch the terminate and do an orderly shutdown. Occasionally, the process won't respond to a TERM, in which case you can send it a -9, which is an unconditional kill, but then the process won't clean up after itself and may leave lockfiles etc. lying around... [02:32] Stephie: tis okay. we need to get the "scanmodem.gz" file then. [02:32] mumphster: That's an idea...you could also try kubuntu for kicks, and if it works, you could always swap over to ubuntu via synaptic package manager. [02:32] Have it. [02:32] Already did the scan [02:32] madjoe: yes then I select Image Viewer, but how do I make it automatically do that so I don't have to select the application every time? [02:32] Stephie: okay...and it's on your Ubuntu machine already? [02:32] Well, have a good night all...I'm hittin' the sack. [02:33] HowardtheDuck: that way you should automatically open that type of a file with the assigned application... [02:33] well, I only have the one computer, But yes I had it on and ran it, I'm bringing files back and fourth with a flash drive [02:33] madjoe: didn't work :( [02:33] Losha, shoutcast server seems to respond well to -TERM i just tested so its perfect for what im doing ty :) [02:33] between installs of XP and linux [02:34] digitalfiz: excellent... [02:34] Stephie: okay. you've already been through the tutorial then? [02:34] tutorial? [02:34] HowardtheDuck: it works perfectly for me [02:34] hi, my cpu is stuck at slowest speed w/9.10, its really frustrating as i have to reboot to get it to run at its proper speed and i dont want to disable speedstep in bios cause its a laptop. sudo cpufreq-set -g/-u/-d doesnt change anything. any help? [02:34] madjoe: so once you select the app with open with it starts to recognize it then? hmm [02:35] Stephie: well...the page link you sent me has the steps you need to follow. [02:35] Does anybody here use Empathy? Why is it that when I click on Empathy on the top right notification panel, it opens up the Contact List out of focus, in the background?

This is confusing with 1300 people [02:37] Stephie: hang on a sec [02:38] Okay === david_ is now known as dabid [02:39] HowardtheDuck: maybe you can go to Synaptic Package Manager, click Reload, then Mark All Upgades, and then click Apply.

[03:16] high onlife and coffee :) [03:16] not to tricky to setup :/ [03:16] peepsalot: GVim if you are comfortable with a vi workalike. [03:16] Wubi is the windows installer. Just look and see if Ubuntu shows up in Add/Remove. If it does, it was installed using Wubi. [03:16] DcMeese: dunno if gFTP does scp, which runs over ssh. You sound a bit confused, actually... [03:16] Enter text here... [03:17] Losha: It says it supports ssh [03:17] DcMeese: cool, go for it then.... [03:17] anyone on adjusting brightness? [03:17] Successsss [03:17] Losha: It works... All I gotta do is SSH2 setting [03:18] BUDDAH: twoftpd claims to be simple. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself... [03:19] a friend of mine tried to delete Ubuntu and ended up having to format his whole hard drive.. I dont want to do that because I have very valuable files (family photos/videos..etc) [03:19] I just need a simple and sure fire way to do it [03:19] and I don ahve my windows recovery disk.. [03:19] cd/dvd rom is messed up [03:19] installed ubuntu using flash drive [03:21] DrDank: if they're that valuable, you should make a backup now! [03:22] DrDank, you want to delete your operating system but not your personal data files stored on the same disk as the OS? Not really possible. [03:22] That's like saying "I want to delete Windows but the files that Windows gives me the ability to access". [03:22] s/but/but not/ [03:23] lol [03:23] I am having problems with group permissions. can anyone give me an hand plz? [03:23] BUDDAH: Do "FTP://example.com" in browser to FTP easily... Works [03:23] Weell for me [03:23] Well* [03:24] DrDank: Are the valuable files all on windows? [03:25] Nah, the Ubuntu OS is what I want to delete Its on a seperate partition of the HD.. Im just worried about the GRUB loader.. [03:25] Damn, Ubuntu needs to make a uninstaller.. lol lol [03:25] a small file uninstaller* [03:25] DrDank: you need to run something like fixmbr from windows [03:26] Can't grub already boot Windows from the other partition? If you wipe Ubuntu off, grub won't care when you ask it to boot Windows. [03:26] hello all [03:27] is anybody here experience the same problem that I'm experience with my new 2010 i1764 Dell Inspiron laptop? [03:27] guys, how to login session into terminal instead of gnome? [03:27] * franl wonders if the stage 1 boot loader needs files from the Ubuntu partition even when it's booting Windows. [03:27] the graphic do not work. the screen turn all black [03:27] franl: Im not sure that is true. Grub loads up files from the ubuntu partition [03:28] Well how do I remove GRUB then [03:28] ChogyDan, yeah, that's where the stage 1.5 and stage 2 loaders are. [03:28] DrDank: you need to run something like fixmbr from windows [03:28] the laptop came with an Intel Accelarator HD onboard Video card === Ghost is now known as Plasmastar [03:28] I just read that windows doesnt boot from the maste rbootrecord, it simply boots from the first acive partition and loads boot.ini === trimmer is now known as slackguru [03:29] may i ask a question? [03:30] !ask | ubuntu [03:30] ubuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:30] DrDank, the BIOS will load sector 0 of the first disk, which is currently the GRUB stage 1 loader. GRUB will fail if it can't find your Ubuntu installation (where its config file, menu.lst, is located, as well as the stage 1.5 boot loader). [03:31] DrDank, you need to fix your MBR (master boot record -- sector 0 of the disk) to put back the Windows boot loader. [03:31] should i cook turkey burgers in the oven or use the griddle? i have ground turkey thawed [03:32] its dead in #cooking, thats why i asked here [03:32] griddle of course [03:32] robertzaccour, this is not a cooking channel, but I say griddle [03:32] burgers should never see the inside of an oven [03:32] sounds delicious [03:32] now go from here, and enjoy your burger [03:32] thanks [03:33] robertzaccour: if it's ground, griddle [03:33] NO PROBLEM BROSEPH [03:33] no griddle [03:33] Nard_, don't say that.

[03:37] BUDDAH: nmap [03:37] ;) [03:37] zenmap is a gui [03:37] er [03:37] okay il try that [03:37] shileds up [03:37] oo [03:37] DANGIT! had the cd/dvd rom drive problem fixed.... and then i rebooted... [03:38] ergh [03:38] error creating partition [03:38] ruge, open terminal, type in 'sudo gparted', go to your drive, right click it, unmount, right click it again, then click format to> ext4 [03:38] Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [03:38] mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) [03:38] k let me try gparted [03:39] gparted: command not found [03:39] let me get it. [03:39] yeah [03:39] sudo apt-get install gparted [03:39] ruge: sudo apt-get install gparted [03:39] ShazbotMcNasty: Whoa, same time haha [03:39] so quick haha [03:39] zzz [03:40] Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:40] close synaptic [03:40] there's a lot i need to learn. [03:41] with linux hopefully you never stop learning [03:41] haha [03:41] how do you adjust the libnotify settings? [03:41] well yeah, you can't apt-get and have synaptic package manager open at the same time. [03:42] what type of partiton table [03:42] should i create? [03:43] how do it get ubuntu to read audio cds? [03:43] ill msdos it [03:43] well, are you putting an operating system on it? Or are you using it for storage ruge? [03:43] storage really [03:43] but... [03:43] if i want my vbox winXP install to be able to read it [03:43] yeah [03:43] won't happen [03:44] should i just NTFS it? [03:44] eww [03:44] hahah [03:44] No. [03:44] There are drivers that make it so windows can read ext3 [03:44] but I'm not sure about ext4 [03:44] oh right [03:44] so i would make it ext3 [03:44] in a nutshell, whats the benefit of ext3 over NTFS? [03:45] ntfs is terrible [03:45] ext3 is good [03:45] lmao! [03:45] ive only ever err... used ntfs haha [03:45] ext4 is forward(?) compatible with ext3 only if it's an ext3 fs converted to ext4. [03:45] Yes, I found that Win2Flash program that puts the Windows Installer CD on a flash drive, Hopefully I will be able to use the recovery console on it to fix the mbr.. [03:45] THanks guys for th ehelp!! [03:45] so there's no driver for XP to read Ext4? [03:45] well i've never tried [03:46] ext3 is not bad [03:46] my /home is ext4 [03:46] no [03:46] /home is ext3 [03:46] / is ext4 [03:46] Performance of an external is probably not high enough to benefit from ext4. [03:46] so I can use a driver to read my /home if need be on windows [03:46] But I could be wrong about that too. :-) [03:46] ruge: ext3 is stable, doesn't need defragmenting, is compatible with pretty much all versions of linux, and 3rd. party recovery programs work well with it... [03:47] how I do it get ubuntu to read audio cds? [03:47] it should [03:48] do 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [03:48] without quotes [03:48] shazbot: are you talking to me? [03:48] yes [03:48] ok i have the restricted extras [03:48] cool [03:48] dbook82: grip will rip music files off an audio cd for you [03:48] my OS is /ext4 [03:48] but ill make my storage drive /ext3 XD [03:49] it should "read" the cds by default though [03:49] grip is a program? [03:49] I've never ever ever had any problems with that. [03:49] yes, it is a cd ripper program [03:49] it rips the music from the cd and puts them on your computer. [03:50] shazbot: i've had trouble reading anything, up until abt 30 mins ago, then i rebooted and now i can't read anything again [03:50] champion [03:50] gparted rocks [03:50] ruge, yes it does. [03:50] we'll see how long it takes [03:50] dbook82, it could be your drive [03:50] cheers [03:50] but then again, I have no idea [03:50] hello everyone [03:50] cheers ruge [03:51] shazbot: 30 mins ago i got it to read a data cd [03:51] dbook82: I was here when it happened.

[03:52] losha: workin on it... sigh =( [03:52] yep [03:52] no good? [03:53] in the 'label' part, you're supposed to label it as like,"external" [03:53] eshannon: nvidia? [03:53] eshannon: is it pixelated and green or is it simply tinted blue/green [03:53] Bonster: What command are you using for finding files? find? locate? [03:53] not an official label [03:53] actually, may i leave it blank for now? [03:53] yes [03:53] Croooow, yea im using find [03:54] awesome, thanks. [03:54] Nvidia 8800 gts and just blue green tint [03:54] Bonster: '-iname' is case-insensitive.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === bryan is now known as Guest6363 [04:17] dbook82: as long as there's nothing you need to keep, you can just install 8.04 over 9.10. Does the 8.04 live cd work with your dvd drive. Otherwise, there's no point... === kitsune is now known as mmejia22 [04:17] Rapsodius: oh yes, thanks again [04:17] i cannot remove any of my panel applets or add new ones in ubuntu netbook remix i am running the newest alpha of lucid [04:17] lasthope106: not positive, but its best if you re-update the packages after that happens. [04:17] ruge: It's a permissions issue. Answer the question: where is the drive mounted? [04:17] Losha: I am actually irc'ing from a tty since the loss of my dear X [04:17] losha: haven't tried it yet, wanted to give 9.10 one last try [04:17] how do I do that? [04:18] wow wierd issue here [04:18] dbook82: sorry, you asked about downgrading. I assumed you were talking about changing to 8.04... [04:18] I tried cancelling the updates, but it still went ahead and installed what it had downloaded up to that point [04:18] lasthope106: in a terminal type " sudo apt-get update " [04:18] Haha i have no idea where the drive is mounted.... :S [04:18] losha: i was... lol.. [04:18] created users with useradd but no /home/username/ <-- [04:18] anyone ran into this before [04:18] Hello.. [04:18] Losha: I ran: grep -lir "function buildPage" * -- and it's just sitting there [04:18] my question is ok my laptop already has an atheros 5007 card which is a great card one of the best // well today i went out and bought a rangemax dual band wirless n usb adapter to use to increase my range and of coarse it does not work outta the box so i have been reading some forums and it is looking like i need to use ndiswrapper drivers /// now will this mess with my drivers i already use for my atheros card [04:18] I don't think it's running [04:18] slinkeey: please dont do that. I believe files created under a guest account are placed in /tmp which means they be deleted [04:18] ruge: if it is mounted you might be able to see it by typing df in a terminal [04:19] Rapsodius: well, I was going to suggest that you have nothing to lose by reinstalling gdm and x11.... [04:19] what's the command to determine the top 10 most used apps? [04:19] ewemite: thx, let me check [04:19] once I installed Virtualbox, how do I start the installation? [04:19] uvacav: Thank you... [04:19] I have an apache installation with a virtual host...http://myserv/, its setup right in apache..but it won't resolve in Firefox. Can anyone shed some light? [04:19] hunt: also is worth the package ntfs-3g that gives proper writing support on ntfs, apt-get it first then mount the thing but instead of '/media/ntfs ntfs' do '/media/ntfs ntfs-3g' [04:19] I've already tried in #dns (ignored), and #apache told me to come here [04:20] TheMozart: do you mean how do you install the guest OS? You set an .iso in the Virtual Drive's settings. [04:20] /dev/sdb1 [04:20] I horked my GRUB and am now trying to fix it by first chrooting into the proper directory from the LiveCD. Unfortunately, the proper root directory is on an encrypted drive (/dev/sda5). When I try "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 /media/cryptdisc" I get "Command failed: Can not access device". What do I need to do to mount my encrypted LVM + LUKS drive from the LiveCD (9.10)? [04:20] joshteam: the -r flag means recursive. Are you sure it isn't looking through a ton of files/directories recursively? [04:20] look at the size of the drive, ruge. Does it look like it's yoru drive? [04:20] losha: i was just trying to give 9.10 a chance, but there seems to be a lot of things that aren't working, so i figured i'd try 8.04. will install exactly over 9.10? using all the same space? [04:20] yep, thats the one [04:20] Rapsodius: awesome, thanks [04:21] In ubuntu was is the best package to use for virtualization? I plan on having a virtual ubuntu instance that I can boot up as a sandbox.. I know I could use VMWare, but I am open to what the ubuntu community likes... [04:21] Losha: is there a command to see how many files are in the folder(s) within a certain folder? [04:21] irc.slacknet.org [04:21] eremite: I install virtualbox but I don't know how to start up the windows installsation in it. [04:21] slinkeey: openbox might be worth a shot [04:21] is it ok to assume that if an update to ubuntu installed successfuly, the update was not corrupted while downloading [04:21] yo [04:21] is this b [04:21] CountDown: you might want to check out the Ubuntu documentation about "recovering Ubuntu after installing Windows" as this has a tutorial on how to reinstall grub. That should fix yoru problem, aye? [04:21] lasthope106: Yes. [04:22] Rapsodius: Thanks, I will have to give that a shot... [04:22] dbook82: you can control that explicitly during install by selecting 'manual partition'. Please paste the output of 'df -h' to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com before you leave 9.10... [04:22] this isnt /b/ [04:22] thanks eremite and CountDown [04:22] eremite: any idea? [04:22] eremite: OK, thanks. I'll check it out. [04:22] hey [04:22] how do i connect to a irc server manually [04:22] joshteam: ls will show them, ls | wc -l will count them... [04:22] Rapsodius: isn't open box a window manager? [04:22] TheMozart: yes. Give me 2 minutes to log into another computer with VirtualBox. 2 sces, man. [04:23] slinkeey: damn its virtualbox [04:23] losha: ok will do [04:23] slinkeey: and yes openbox it's a WM [04:23] losha: says 87G [04:23] fail [04:23] Rapsodius: no problem dude.. you ever give virtualbox a whirl? [04:23] eremite: yes sir [04:23] TheMozart: open VirtualBox and click on the icon that says "NEW" [04:23] Losha: thats going to get directories too isnt it... [04:24] dbook82: I want to see where the partitions are, so that we can redo them during 'manual partition' install of 8.04 [04:24] eremite: then how I tell it to install XP? [04:24] slinkeey: yes, it has usb support even [04:24] wow cool [04:24] losha: http://pastebin.com/7kiAYHWn [04:24] uvacav: yes it is, good catch... [04:24] TheMozart: after that, follow the on screen instructions. Self explanitory stuff. When you have it set up, let me know, I'll help you with the rest of the setup. I also suggest a "dynamic" drive. [04:24] eremite: The problem is that I can't even mount my Ubuntu partition because I first need to decrypt it. [04:24] eremite: I have XP on CD not as ISO [04:24] and watch the conversation between TheMozart and eremite, they're talking about it === dvz- is now known as backslash-n [04:25] TheMozart: that is ok, the installation is still the same for any OS iso or cd, essentially. [04:25] eremite: and I'm trying to decrypt it, but I get the "Command failed" error. [04:25] ok [04:25] how do I remove a certain word a bunch of times in a text file with greb? [04:25] dbook82: ok, your root is on /dev/sda5, we'll redo that during the 8.04 install. Do you have a swap partition? I don't see one... [04:25] grep* [04:25] guys how can i get rid of the top bar ? on my desktop >.> [04:25] eremite: ok thanks [04:26] syrius: You should probably look at awk and sed. [04:26] CountDown: well, that's a mind bender. Sorry I cant help you with that, patience will get you answers around here, hopefully. [04:26] losha: i don't think i have a swap [04:26] hey [04:26] i rember a way with compiz to make it invisable, but dont like using compiz now [04:26] what is swap? [04:26] syrius: How many times? [04:26] dbook82: how much RAM do you have? [04:26] how the fuck do i install programs [04:26] which is better CountDown [04:26] omg rrr invisible* [04:26] it is a bunch of times CountDown [04:26] anonymous_: apt-get install whatever [04:26] eremite: No problem, thanks. [04:26] anonymous_: apt-cache search program [04:26] I want to remove all of them [04:26] puKA: you should try with right clicking and see settings [04:26] search? [04:26] losha: abt 3gig [04:26] ty [04:26] syrius: Is it 100 or a 1000000? [04:26] well let me grep it and find out [04:26] anonymous_: yea like .. apt-cache search php- for all packages about php [04:27] puKA: You mean you panel or your window border? [04:27] dbook82: that's probably ok then, you probably can get by without swap. Can you boot the 8.04 live cd? [04:27] no it is not 100 probably like 5o times [04:27] anonymous_: and when you know the name of a package .. apt-get install packagename-1.1.1 or whatever version it is [04:27] syrius: Are you comfortable with emacs? [04:27] syrius: sed 's/string//g' oldfile > newfile [04:27] jastor i pmed u [04:27] never used emacs before [04:27] losha: i have to burn it first. i downloaded 8.04 in windows just need to burn it [04:27] syrius: What Croooow said, er, sed. :) [04:28] I have used used emacs style shortcuts with bash though [04:28] CountDown: teaching emacs over irc seems like a bad idea... [04:28] any fast way of making a symlink permanent other than mounting it on restart? [04:28] Losha: Notice that I didn't try. ;) [04:28] Use Notepad [04:28] like ln -s ? [04:28] LOL [04:28] CountDown: do you have the dm_crypt kernel module loaded? [04:28] so string would be the word that I want removed right? Croooow [04:29] So, can anyone assist me with http://myserv/ not wanting to resolve on localhost? [04:29] thanks Croooow [04:29] CountDown: I was cringing from the thought. Irc support is like keyhole surgery to begin with... [04:29] or better, its open source clone, leafpad [04:29] mneptok: It shows up in lsmod. [04:29] soreau: well the start menu? long bar on my screen :D [04:29] puKA: Just right click on it and delete it [04:29] Losha: That's what makes it fun! [04:29] i cant do that with the main bar :/ [04:29] CountDown: that's good. rules out that failure point. [04:29] CountDown: I guess I'm just jaded... [04:29] and how the hell do i install themes, im so clueless [04:30] GTK themes or icon themes? [04:30] Hey guys im back. Im trying to get Ubuntu off my hard drive and not mess up my windows installation.. I Used the Windows Recovery Console and used the fixmbr command.. rebooted and damn GRUB still took over. [04:30] Any suggestions? [04:30] mneptok: Yeah. Would be nice if the error message were a bit more verbose. [04:30] Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstream-properties is used it works perfectly [04:30] Rapsodius, well gtk i think just want it to look nicer then "stock" [04:30] DrDank: use fixboot [04:30] Rapsodius, just fixboot, and not fixmbr? [04:30] and do I need to delete the ubuntu partition first? [04:30] any free site where i can upload about 3M video ? [04:30] I dunno, im a total newbie. [04:31] 3 meg [04:31] but when I use skype or any other application I does show blank [04:31] DrDank: you'll need to know which partition loads grub [04:31] can I remove old kernel images from my laptop? they're cluttering my GRUB OS choice boot menu, and probably some disk space too [04:31] Im not sure which one loads the grub to be honest.. [04:31] puKA: see Add/Remove Applications [04:31] losha: i ran the live dvd for 9.10 and the cdrom drive wasn't availible. is that normal when i run ubuntu from the live cd/dvd? [04:31] I know the swap is a 2 gig partition and the other linux partition is 120gig [04:31] and there you go search for 'theme' [04:31] is there such a thing as a free shell acount? [04:31] Croooow, it seems to have removed it all [04:32] :/ [04:32] mneptok: Any other modules I should have in place? [04:32] Chris___: yep, just uninstall the linux-image- packages that have lower (older) numbers [04:32] syrius: All? Entire file contents? [04:32] DrDank: the main problem is Windows doesn't see ext partitions [04:32] yes Croooow [04:32] Rapsodius, so what do I need to do? [04:32] I need to get this Ubuntu off so I can sell it to my brother. [04:32] dbook82: I'm not sure. Isn't the live cd *in* the cdrom drive and didn't you boot off it? [04:32] he doesnt want it [04:32] puKA: what do you mean, "free shell"? [04:32] DrDank: got Windows boot media? (CD or floppy) === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [04:33] maco: do you know how I can get a list of the kernels I have, so I can uninstall all but the most recent? [04:33] mneptok, I been using a Flash Drive for my Windows Recovery and Installs.. [04:33] losha: yes it would be, but wouldn't linux still recognize the drive as occupied? [04:33] syrius: Oops. :-/ Shouldn't happen unless the search pattern was too broad. [04:33] Ive lost the cd because my cd/dvdrom quit [04:33] Chris___: dpkg -l linux-image* [04:33] syrius: Could you paste your pattern? [04:33] no I see what the problem was Croooow [04:33] DrDank: use a Live CD and run the app GPARTED, it is a partitioner. You can format easily into many formats like ext3 ext3 ext4 NFTS FAT`6 FAT32 etc. [04:33] it seems that that have to do it in a new file [04:33] DrDank: try the shotgun approach: blow up the partition with Ubuntu with diskmgmt.msc (from Windows) [04:33] I didn't care for a new file [04:34] Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstream-properties is used it works perfectly. [04:34] but when I use skype or any other application I does show blank [04:34] but now sinec I tried that it worked [04:34] thanks Croooow [04:34] DrDank: boot off the USB key, choose recovery mode, and run "fdisk /mbr" [04:34] syrius: Ah, yeah. You're welcome. [04:34] DrDank: but before restarting check out the drive letters [04:34] wow, ive got 3 different people telling me three different things.. lol [04:34] dbook82: I'm not sure, I've never thought about it. But if you can boot off the live cd, that means you can obviously read from it. I know you can't take the live cd out and use it to burn another dvd while it's running, because I tried that once... [04:34] DrDank: then fixmbr and fixboot all-letters [04:34] puKA: there are several services that offer free shell accounts, just google for them [04:34] maco: just to confirm, I want to uninstall only 14, 17, and 19? - http://paste.honk-honk.org/88 [04:34] Alguien habla español??? [04:34] !es | rodrigo [04:34] rodrigo: 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. [04:35] Rapsodius, can I msg you Ive got to much going on and the chats moving to fast for me to grab everything [04:35] DrDank: if you need to format the computer and do a clean install, use gparted from the Live CD, its the easiest and has a friendly user interface. [04:35] Losha, thanks [04:35] losha: i probably might have tried that too [04:35] anybody can help me with my webcam? [04:35] dbook82: actually, I think it can be done, but you need to boot with a special option that loads the live cd entirely into ram... [04:35] !ask | ravibn [04:35] ravibn: 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. :-) [04:36] Chris___: yeah, though id keep -19 around just in case something goes wrong with -20 (like if there's an update to -20 that doesnt move up to -21 and it turns out to break something, you can still boot -19) [04:36] eremite: [04:36] losha: i have abt 3 gig of ram [04:36] Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstream-properties is used it works perfectly. [04:36] but when I use skype or any other application I does show blank [04:36] ok. thanks maco :D [04:36] Chris___: np [04:36] How to access an encrypted directory from LiveCD? [04:37] blackrock: What kind of encryption? [04:37] For recovery purposes [04:37] home dir [04:37] heh [04:37] Do you have the passphrase? [04:37] I'm locked out of my system, need a fresh install [04:37] ravibn: perhaps that is a Skype issue and not an Ubuntu issue. [04:37] nope, I've tried http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html [04:38] eremite: even other than skype I used Cheese webcam booth by Udbuntu it still does not work [04:38] well if it allowed you to do that than criminals could easily get your infos [04:38] blackrock: you dont need to mount ro unencrypt the drive to format and reinstall, I dont think. I could be wrong. [04:38] blackrock: Maybe take it to Fort George G. Meade MD, 20755? === jeff_ is now known as Guest7508 [04:38] dbook82: I don't think ubuntu supports a 'toram' option. Sorry. Can you use 9.10 to burn an 8.10 live cd? [04:39] I don't even remember encrypting my folder :P [04:39] eremite: I think there is some setting that I am missing [04:39] blackrock: eremite is correct. If you don't need the data, then you can install over the encrypted directory. [04:39] blackrock: It's an option during installation. [04:39] Losha: AFAIK lucid will support it (and some older versions supported it too) [04:39] Of course I need some of the data [04:39] losha: not sure i wanna try to burn a 8.04 disc in ubuntu [04:40] CountDown, it was put in the 9.10 release [04:40] blackrock: I think your encryption password is just your login password. [04:40] I don't remember that option in 9.04 [04:40] JanC: interesting. I know knoppix has supported it for years... [04:40] syrius: Me either. [04:40] CountDown, you mean the passphrase? [04:40] blackrock: Yes. [04:40] dbook82: so how do you plan to try out 8.04 ? [04:40] countdown, that wasn't it [04:41] losha: burn the disc in windows and go from there [04:41] dbook82: that should work fine. Best of luck... [04:41] losha: thanks... i'll need it lol [04:41] blackrock: Is it still encrypted after you login as the user whose home directory you want to grab? [04:42] The pb is I can't login at all, I'm using live cd [04:42] I see. [04:43] blackrock: Can you mount your Ubuntu partition? [04:43] how do i allow users to have homepages in their home directory with apache? [04:43] eremite: I also have a problem with my VLC player. It stops in between while watching a video can something be done abt this? [04:43] ravibn: you mean it pauses periodically? [04:43] Losha: yeah! [04:44] countdown, yes [04:44] ravibn: mplayer has a cache option for this. Dunno if vlc has one... [04:45] Losha: Ok! I will check with VLC for setting caching. But I see the audio is perfect only with the video === reefy is now known as Reefy === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:46] ravibn: I think that's typical. Video decoding takes a lot more juice than audio. It would be interesting to know if mplayer has the same problem on your machine. [04:47] anyone know if lucid beta 1 is out today? [04:48] ravibn, what kind of video are you trying to play? what format? [04:48] JohnRobert: someone mentioned it was. Try #ubuntu+1 [04:49] Losha : it is a Mkv format [04:49] ravibn: does it play smoothly with mplayer? [04:49] If I want to do some quick and basic picture editing, what's a MS Paint equivalent on Ubuntu? (Doesn't have to be available by default - I just want a MS Paint equivalent) [04:50] ravibn, try mplayer but I think a different codec may be the key. I had alot of trouble with h.264 videos (.mkv) on my default install until I installed coreavc [04:50] hi [04:50] losha: nope it does not play smoothly with movie player [04:51] harisund: the gimp is quite a bit more powerful than ms paint (more like paint shop pro), but umm... maybe krita? [04:51] Looking at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc1/ - apparently the Ubuntu team enabled TRIM support in this custome kernels - cant find anything in changelog - can anyone confirm/deny? [04:51] losha: but the sound is excellent [04:51] ravibn: try mplayer -cache 8192 ... [04:51] blackrock: After you mount the ubuntu partition, chroot to its root directory and then sudo su username and see if you can see the files. [04:52] maco: That's' precisely the problem .. I don't want something as powerful as Gimp .. the user interface is not something I am interested in learning either .. MS Paint kept everything simple, a color palette on the bottom, a bunch of tools in another toolbar, that's all I really want. I will check Krita out [04:52] harisund: agreed. The gimp is a nightmare for casual users... [04:52] ugh Krita is KDE...There's seriously no equivalent Gnome app? There seems to be Tuxpaint, kids game but simple nevertheless .. [04:52] harisund: KolourPaint seems the closest thing to MS Paint I've found. It is another KDE application, though. [04:53] yeah .. that's cool guess I will have to go with either of those .. thanks Croooow [04:53] harisund: oooh maybe mtpaint? [04:53] Try OOo Draw [04:53] harisund: if you search 'paint' in the software center you will find a few; there is also 'pinta' (not in the repos) :) [04:54] Flannel: i thought that was just for vectors, like inkscape? [04:54] I see .. ok xangua .. maco I am installing mtpaint to check it out :) [04:54] maco: Oh, it is vector. Go figure. I always thought it was raster. [04:54] Ha, wait a second -- I don't have lvm2 installed. [04:54] ravibn: ? [04:55] But that didn't seem to make a difference. Bah. [04:55] CountDown: You're trying to mount a lvm partition? or what? [04:55] I am using ubuntu 9.04. I had nvidia 8500 which i have removed for some reason. I have an on-board graphic card which I want to use now. But, the hardware drivers is not displaying any drivers to use. Can anyone help me install the graphic card? [04:55] Flannel: I'm trying to mount an LVM + LUKS encrypted partition. [04:55] i got a ? [04:56] as do i [04:56] :/ [04:56] what is the official release date of lucid and will it have a update on the nvidia driver? [04:56] i see if i can help you out [04:56] pepper_haze: april 29 [04:56] CountDown: install lvm2, then you have to do sudo pvscan, then sudo vgscan, sudo vgchange -a y, sudo lvscan, and then you'll see them as devices (in /dev/mapper/ and /dev/[volume-group]/[LogicalVolume] [04:57] desman300: what your ? [04:57] Flannel: Thanks, I'll look into that. [04:57] jaycount: where did you get coreavc from? [04:57] ???:I just installed UNR 9.10 on my fujitsu to speed it up. The homescreen won't show [04:58] the bar on top is there [04:58] but the whole GUI isn't showing up [04:58] it flashes every once in a while tho [04:58] :( [04:58] Losha, bought the codec and then used coreavc-for-linux to get it running on ubuntu [04:58] ok give me one sec [04:58] it was easier than I anticipated, even I got it working =) [04:58] jaycount: thanks... [04:58] cool [04:58] thx :) [04:59] Desman3000: but it's faster, right? [04:59] lol [04:59] Flannel: The problem is that I can't even get that far because cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 cryptdisc fails with "Command failed: Can not access device" [04:59] if i could just get it to do stuff [04:59] then ya [04:59] :P [04:59] it starts up faster [04:59] Desman3000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:00] I am using ubuntu 9.04. I had nvidia 8500 which i have removed for some reason. I have an on-board graphic card which I want to use now. But, the hardware drivers is not displaying any drivers to use. Can anyone help me install the graphic card? [05:00] CountDown: I'm totally unfamiliar with the luks stuff, sorry. There's probably some other incantation you have to do beforehand. [05:00] CountDown: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html [05:01] madvirus420: you can see graphics, right? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [05:01] madvirus420: there's probably already a driver in use. that tool is only for if you need closed-source drivers [05:01] maco: yes, lspci is showing it. [05:01] Flannel: Yeah, I was looking at that. My results aren't the same. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [05:01] madvirus420: if your onboard uses open source drivers, the hardware drivers tool is unnecessary and wont show anything [05:02] madvirus420: because the graphics should start working automagically [05:02] maco: but i can enable 'special effects' in appearance. also, the display is laggy. i can't watch videos too. [05:02] madvirus420: what are your onboard graphics? [05:02] desman3000: here and tell me if this help you outhttp://www.tuxradar.com/content/ubuntu-910-nets-opinion [05:03] okay i'll try [05:03] maco: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Xpress 200 Host Bridge [05:03] can link my linux to my dad linux computer [05:03] madvirus420: could try installing xserver-xorg-video-fglrx [05:03] maco: a'right. lets see. [05:04] ronos can you help me [05:05] steven__ as far as i know you can connect any puter 2 any puter, its just all a matter of know-how. some will connect right away (if there the same os usually) [05:05] maco: E: Couldn't find package xserver-xorg-video-fglrx [05:06] but how would i do this [05:06] maco: I have xserver-xorg-video-ati installed [05:06] steven__, why do you want to link them? what are you trying to do? [05:06] madvirus420: renamed apparently. this: xorg-driver-fglrx exist? -ati is the open source driver. for some stuff it works better. you might need fglrx, which is the closed source driver [05:06] being up his desktop on my cp [05:08] steven_: I din't find anything that could help me [05:08] maco: xorg-driver-fglrx does exist? should i install it ? [05:08] maco : does exist! * [05:08] madvirus420: yeah give that a try [05:08] hello [05:08] anyone use WINE? [05:09] try this one out http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/11/broadcom-wireless-driver-fix-in-karmic.html [05:09] steven__ you will have a few things 2 learn, start by learning about home networking, you will need to know ths because you will be maintaining the network, they take some maintenance. but if u have vista to vista it should be fairly easy [05:09] How do I stop Ubuntu from correcting the system clock for Daylight Savings Time? [05:09] anonymous_, i do. why? [05:09] Zenker: if he's doing vista to vista he's in the wrong channel... [05:09] Is the dm-mod module still in use in 9.10? If so, what package provides it? [05:09] Andorin: Ubuntu shouldn't touch the system clock unless you have it set up to treat system time as local time (it just changes your offset) [05:10] ok thnk you [05:10] it doesnt open anything [05:10] losha true, but if he knows nothing about networking will ubuntu be as easy to figure out? [05:10] i right click, open with WINE [05:10] doesnt do shit [05:10] Zenker: I don't follow your logic. This is a ubuntu support channel... [05:10] Flannel: Okay, I meant the operating system's time. Ubuntu's. [05:10] i wonder why the ubuntu livecds don't have a console-only startup mode...my 256 MB computer doesn't take kindly to the desktop livecd [05:10] Andorin: right clike the time [05:10] steven_: my wireless is working fine, the only problem is that the complete graphical interface that is literally ABOVE (which is kinda weird) the destop keeps flashing on and off [05:11] Ganymede: You want the Alternate CD [05:11] maco: installed. reboot [05:11] anonymous_, have you tried only one windows app in wine or several? some windows apps just won't open at all via WINE [05:11] how can i terminate an application if i can't see it? [05:11] Flannel, aww...i can't be burning so many CDs...i was hoping for a one CD fits all...but thanks for the advice [05:11] Ganymede: there are distros designed specifically for small machines you know... [05:11] steven__: If I change the system time will it persist the next time I log in? [05:11] jay [05:11] i pmed u [05:11] losha answer my question and you may understand my logic [05:11] Ganymede: Alternate CD is my "one size fits all" CD [05:12] Andorin: why do you want it to not change it due to DST? [05:12] Flannel: It's for someone who doesn't do DST. [05:12] Zenker: I think I prefer to bow out at this point, if you don't mind... [05:12] Losha, but i'd like to have a homogenous environment for easier management; like i've pretty much remembered all my default package names and configuration thingies on ubuntu, i don't want to learn them again on another distro, or learn the little gotchas and stuff for another distro [05:13] Ganymede: fair enough, just as long as you understand your choices... === backslash-n is now known as dvz- [05:13] Losha, and i'm not necessarily installing ubuntu either, i have an ubuntu livecd and i'm using it to mount an ISO from the network to debootstrap it [05:13] Andorin: go into your up date manger and see if it here i know my was [05:13] can anybody help? the last link i was given was basically just a whole bunch o' opinions of how awesome/angering the new 9.10 kernal was [05:14] Does Ubuntu read/write from/to NTFS formatted USB drives out of the box, or do i need any special packages installed? Ive never used one with it so I have no clue. [05:14] Losha, but i'd like to avoid starting up the whole X server and friends just to network mount an ISO...and a desktop livecd is the one i happen to burn since it's the one i usually use for normal installations [05:14] Update manager...? [05:14] LinuxGuy2009: should work [05:14] desman3000: iam srooy that i cant help up out [05:14] okay [05:14] i might have figured it out [05:15] yes hit the system on the top of your mean bar [05:15] LinuxGuy2009: depending on your version, you may need to manually install ntfsprogs and/or ntfs-3g [05:15] Andorin: Well, you could certainly modify stuff in /usr/share/zoneinfo to create a special timezone for him [05:15] Ganymede: what Flannel said, then [05:16] Flannel: Now that you mention it, I guess just changing the timezone would be an easy solution, wouldn't it? [05:16] thank flannel [05:16] i trying to help lol [05:16] g2g [05:16] Andorin: er... Like, choosing the next one? No, that won't work, because you'll have to change the timezone again in 5 months or whatnot [05:16] can i have link for files system for Ubunut ?? [05:17] countdown: I can't sudo su username, because username doesn't exist on live system [05:17] how files build [05:17] ls [05:17] *t [05:17] Ok. I aks cause I just got back with a WD TV and a 500GB MyPassport and was deciding between Fat32 or NTFS that it supports. Will need to be able to copy media to it of course. Im kinda leaning toward Fat32 just for compatibility out of the box. I know about the 4GB file size limit but using HandBrake Normal profile even 3 hour long Lord of the rings is only 2GB. Should be ok I think with Fat32. Will that waste storage space or any other [05:17] !de > awsten32 [05:17] what sir [05:18] countdown: but I can see the encrypted folders in home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private [05:18] awsten32: would you prefer a channel in german. I find your English a bit hard to follow... [05:18] i speak arabic only [05:19] maco: did not work. brought me to a frozen messed up login screen where i couldn't even see the login. entered the rescue mode and uninstalled it. [05:19] awsten32: pardon me, your whois mentioned Franfurt.

I had nvidia 8500 which i have removed for some reason. I have an on-board graphic card which I want to use now. But, the hardware drivers is not displaying any drivers to use.

[05:30] what does it mean: /dev/sda1: clean, 405287/7028736 files, 21286003/28103701 blocks [05:30] ? is my hard OK? [05:30] blackrock: that's normal: 'clean' means no errors on your filesystem. I forget what the rest means, it isn't important... [05:31] then why can't I decrypt my home dir from live cd? [05:32] blackrock: sorry, dunno. You need expert help for the crypto stuff, way beyond my expertise... [05:32] Does anyone know why when you use the tasksel for server in ubuntu preseed I get items like libgtk and openoffice installed? [05:33] i am having some problems with the 9.10 netbook remix - I deleted a bunch of files, but it still shows 85% used - there is no trash can, what did I miss? [05:33] blackrock ill admit ahead of time i have no idea what im talkin about but i believe this subject came up the other day and they said 2 install ubuntu on a flash and do it frome ther or something [05:34] Any reference for that? [05:34] Blue1: go to the console and use du -hs * from the / dir and work you're way down finding the biggest dir till you reach the one you want [05:34] blackrock: What is the command you're running, and what is the full, exact text of the error message? [05:35] unfortunatly no, i have no idea i just vaguely remember the encrypting subject being discussed b4 [05:35] http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/3/ and after entering my password [05:35] it says "you do not own that encrypted directory" [05:35] jetole: looks like I need to put a sudo in front of that [05:35] blackrock: I missed you're question as I wasn't in the room yet. What was it [05:36] blackrock: you might [05:36] * Blue1: you might [05:36] The full is: "Inserted auth tok with sig [some hash here] into the user session keyring \n You do not own that encrypted directory [05:36] blackrock: You're logged in as the 'ubuntu' user on the live CD? [05:36] hi [05:36] no logged as myself [05:37] blackrock: Didn't you say you were on a live CD? [05:37] yes, I mounted the /dev/sda1, and chroot-ed it [05:37] it's all here: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/3/ [05:37] 89G root? [05:38] Welp, still havent got Ubuntu GRUB removed from WinXP system.. [05:39] DrDank: I think one way is to boot to the windows xp cd in rescue mode and run fixmbr [05:39] i am using kvm virtual machines. i am writing some manage scripts atm. where should i put either the images of vms, the pid files, and some other managment sockets. what directories would you suggest me? /etc/ - /var/ ? [05:39] DrDank: I think fdisk /mbr from within xp will work too [05:40] k3rn: Is there a reason you're not using libvirt, a nice management wrapper around KVM and other hypervisors? [05:40] k3rn: you can put the images in any directory you like however I wouldn't use /etc but you can make your own. pid files in /var/run [05:40] jetole, Ive already done that.. and it still loads GRUB when rebooted. [05:40] yea i am using VDE (virtual distributed ethernet) as virtual switches [05:41] libvirt doesn't support that [05:41] anyone here, (OT I know) ever used business objects??? [05:41] Hey guys, got issues with my new HDD again D: ..... is there a step by step guide i can follow to installing a new HDD? Didn't think it would be this tricky :S [05:41] Im seriously thinking about deleting the two linux partitions (swap and actual linux partition) and then doing the windows recovery fixboot/fixmbr technique. [05:41] DrDank: well I don't think the partitions have anything to do with it [05:41] brb [05:42] ruge, whats your issues? plug it in and go in most cases... [05:42] back [05:42] jetole, well I done exactly what you described and it doesnt work.. It still loads GRUB each and every time. [05:42] My linux partitions are infront of my windows ntsf partitions.. [05:43] if a user wants to start a VM, i don't want him to use admin rights, for /var/run you need admin access .. or may you specify rioght for a special folder like /var/run/kvm ? [05:43] Yep, it detects the new SATA drive and I have formatted it using gParted in an Ext3 system. However I cannot write to it and it seems to mount just like a USB drive would. [05:43] DrDank: grub isn't contained solely on the mbr and if you remove the partitions you will likely break grub but we already know windows isn't restoring the mbr properly already so all you will likely do is break the boot loader you have [05:44] k3rn: you can specify the rights for a sub folder in /var/run [05:44] well, how am I suppose to get it off then? [05:44] jaycount: ive tried following guides on the net from ubuntu and other sites, but no dice [05:44] k3rn: you can also look at /opt if you want [05:44] does Ubuntu have a uninstall command or something [05:44] jaycount: still no ability to write to the drives.... [05:44] DrDank: google it some moe [05:44] *more [05:44] what would be the command to set the access for a folder to any user? [05:44] ruge, I don't know boss, never seen that problem before [05:44] DrDank: if windows isn't fixing it then I don't think breaking it further is a great idea [05:45] jaycount: no worries man, ill keep searching.. just thought id see if anyone knew :) [05:45] and in /opt anyone can read/write? [05:45] k3rn: chmod a+rwx folder [05:45] k3rn: no [05:45] people can only read/write on folders you give them permissions on [05:45] jetole: it shows /root as 89G [05:45] Hello, i am using xchat gnome. I dont know how to delete of my chat logs or find them on my note book. I am using acer aspire one [05:45] or their home foler + /tmp [05:46] Blue1: so cd into root and run that command again [05:46] and then cd into the next dir that comes up large [05:46] etc etc until you find the source [05:47] jetole: it just shows 2 files 4.0K and Desktop [05:47] Blue1: how big is the desktop [05:47] run ls -a and then du -hs on everything that comes back from ls -a [05:47] hello... [05:48] hello fatsopil [05:48] jetole: shows desktop is 4k (ls -l) [05:48] who said to use the ls -l command? [05:48] I didn't [05:48] I'm a newbie and currently having sound trouble with my desktop using ubuntu 8.04 [05:48] jetole: du shows nothing unusual either [05:48] all directories are 4k on a typically fs allocation [05:49] Blue1: then it's magic [05:49] could somebody help? [05:49] jetole must be [05:49] yep [05:50] fatsopi1: try using ubuntu 10.04, it will have more modern drives and is the next long term release [05:51] Im installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on my netbook (via flashdrive). I'm using the live CD option, and....for some reason....I can't type. And I need to type to enter my name, etc. in the fields of the installation. [05:51] jetole: but i dont think my desktop specs can handle ubuntu 10.04 [05:51] fatsopi1: then I'm not the guy to ask [05:51] * jetole is deaf [05:51] lol [05:52] anyone can help? [05:52] MailGon: that wasn't a joke [05:52] it seems decrypting a ecryptfs-ed folder is a myth [05:52] Excellent, found a guide that was super :D [05:52] !anyone | fatsopi1 [05:52] still funny [05:52] Seriously why cant I type on my netbook? [05:52] btw, is it imperative that i keep the lost+found folder of a new hard drive? [05:52] * jetole rolls his eyes [05:52] ruge: pretty much [05:53] nw [05:53] darolu:I'm a newbie and currently having sound trouble with my desktop using ubuntu 8.04 [05:53] MailGon perhaps choosing a diff keyboard layout is my best guess, go back to that and try 2 find 1 tht works? [05:53] fatsopi1, is it a new install or did your sound work before? [05:53] No, it doesnt Zenker [05:54] * vaysu devilsadvocate is little bit angry [05:54] darolu: its a new install [05:54] darolu: yet already filled with office data [05:54] sorry if someone answered my question. My connection keeps crapping out [05:55] @darolu: can i pm u? [05:55] fatsopi1, go to Aplications - Accessories - Terminal; and then type: "lspci | grep audio" see if it display your sound card (without quotes) [05:55] i need to know where to find logs of my chats. Using xchat gnome on acer aspire one. Thanks [05:55] fatsopi1, sure [05:56] jetole: weird: /root/.local/share/trash/* [05:56] jetole: fixed [05:56] Sato1, /home/yourusername/.xchat2/scrollback ??? === Prodego is now known as alis === alis is now known as Prodego === chris_ is now known as Raugturi [06:07] i like how the ubuntu livecd took me a login screen and i couldn't log in until i manually set user "ubuntu"'s password [06:07] Blue1: didn't think it was magic [06:07] and i like how setting the keymap to dvorak only changes the keymap in X and not the console on 9.10 desktop livecd [06:08] Ganymede: I don't think it has ever changed both unless you change the console map [06:08] jetole, when you select dvorak keymap and install the OS, then it sets up console keymap for you so when you boot up, all is fine, just not when you're still in the livecd [06:09] jetole, so it changes the console keymap for installation, but not for livecd boot [06:09] Ganymede: I misunderstood. I thought you meant changing the X keymap [06:09] jetole: it's FM -- i never expected to see anything it's when I turned on the hidden files, I found it. [06:10] jetole, at the livecd menu, you can select the keymap with F3 or something [06:12] how do i get new stuff for compiz [06:12] oh man, the livecd didn't start up avahi either...how am i going to ssh to it... =/ [06:12] new stuff? [06:12] like the snow [06:13] steven__, what do you mean by new stuff? have you installed ccsm? [06:13] yes [06:14] steven__: Try /msg FusioBot addons [06:14] Is there *any* way in Evolution to make it not detect a double dash (--) as signature mark and thus drop all content below it on reply? [06:14] when i install package i must use su ? [06:14] or ! addons in #compiz [06:14] but i was look on youtube and i saw sown and all type of cool stuff [06:14] my friendtell me don't use root [06:14] it 's true ? [06:14] ok [06:14] isp: When you install packages you must use sudo, because non-root suers aren't allowed to install stuff. [06:15] thank you , cafuego :) [06:15] now am have a lesson LAMP [06:18] when i type my username in login screen the size of the Fonts are very big why? how to sove this?

I use Ubuntu, the best OS, [06:35] So, nothing happened to me. But the person who received it uses Vista, sadly. He says that the hanoi programme (html) contains a virus or trojan, and infected his PC [06:36] I scanned it with ClamAV, but nothing was seen, and he says that his machine caught virus and is malfunctioning, any advice? [06:39] when i type my username in login screen the size of the Fonts are very big why? how to solve this? [06:40] ok i think i have this command memorized wrong [06:40] is there a problem with pidgin connecting to the msn network? [06:40] how do I install Virtualbox on Ubuntu pls?

[06:46] apt-get install gparted? [06:47] brucerwillkejr, df -h or mount gives you a list [06:47] Ahhh ok very cool [06:47] I love how much faster this is than win7 [06:47] im having trouble mounting that drive now [06:47] dum, for a long time [06:48] Anyone know how i can eliminate the audio lag i am encountering on my stereo bluetooth headset?

[06:48] Enter text here...heyyyyyyyy [06:48] anyone experience the issue where video/sound just stopped working? i think my video issue is related to my sound issue [06:48] brucerwillkejr, not usually. if that is the case than you are more than likely running some bad programming of some form. [06:49] Hey i use "sudo nvidia-settings" to open my NVIDIA X Server-Settings [06:49] Well awesome [06:49] evan64, try mkdir /mnt/sdb1;sudo mount /dev/sdbd1 /mnt/sdb1 [06:49] !gksudo | Timon [06:49] Kartagis: check that your server:messenger.hotmail.com port:1863 http method server: gateway.messenger.hotmail.com [06:49] What's the command so I don't need to type sudo su and I can just type su?

[06:53] interesting question ... acpi ... the trip points for the temperatures.. are they set by someone? or does the system just take some? [06:53] dum, I removed it, and I still have that error. I also verified server etc. I'm suspecting netadmin shut me off [06:53] because 127degrees C? sound a bit much ;) [06:54] Kartagis: perhaps netadmin simply blocked that port.. ;) [06:55] noone?

[07:19] and it seems to be intalling software on that one [07:19] don't you typically /mnt to..er, mnt a drive? [07:19] nightsjammies: or mount [07:20] okay. I haven't had the pleasure of messing with mount/mnt yet. [07:20] something like mount /dev/sda1 [07:20] evan64: software gets installed to /usr usually. you could boot from a live cd and set stuff up so /usr goes on the second drive === Guest38212 is now known as blueghost [07:20] oh I know what it's for, I just haven't messed with it. [07:20] evan64: putting /home on the second drive is a common thing to do as usually you'll have more of your own data than of system files [07:20] nightsjammies: you can also just open nautilus and look ion the side bar, it should auto-mount. [07:20] jastor: When i do that, nothing happens [07:21] that's why :D [07:21] nightjammies: i just installed ubuntu, switched ffrom windows 7 starter === blueghost is now known as Guest76896 [07:21] okay, so what's your question?

[07:22] evan64: or is all 15gb going to ubuntu right now? cuz even 10gb can be hard to fill for the system files [07:22] jastor: I prefer to keep viruses off of my computer, and Microsoft software fits that description to me.

[07:22] i installed it to my 80gb hd [07:22] jastor: Still nothing happes [07:22] eremite: ;) [07:22] yeah, maybe [07:22] but it seems to be writign everying to my 14gb hd [07:23] do you have 3 menus at the top? [07:23] the_lorax: are you sure its not auto-mounting in nautalis? [07:23] eremite: whats wrong with running a antivirusprogram ? ;) [07:23] yeah [07:23] evan64: if its installed on the 80gb it should all be going there [07:23] app places system [07:23] um, applications, places, and admin? [07:23] evan64: can you pastebin output of "df -h" ? [07:23] okay, click on places [07:23] k [07:23] then go down to home [07:23] jastor: you mean something like ubuntu? Ive been using Linux for a while, I forget what anti-virus software is. I dont need it. [07:23] I think [07:23] home folder? [07:23] or probably any of the names under places. [07:24] that works [07:24] ok [07:24] Timon: ls -Ssh /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig [07:24] bloody hell, this would be so much easier if I had the nix desktop in front of me [07:24] okay, look over on the left hand side [07:24] jastor: 4,0K /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig [07:24] what do you see? [07:24] jastor: Does he say than [07:24] arzonista: you can try running updates "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [07:24] you might want to pull out the sd card, and then push it back in. [07:24] Timon: something weird then :P [07:25] Timon: how did you install nvidia? [07:25] its not showing up [07:25] thats what im saying :-( [07:25] jastor: I don't know [07:25] Timon: my nvidia-xconfig is like 160KB [07:25] in windows, it showed up as D: drive [07:25] solaris boy:ill already do that sir, [07:25] hmm, then try going to the terminal, and /mnt from there. the others will have to help you with the commands, as I don't remember what they are. [07:25] arzonista: but the version of pidgin available is usually not the latest,, they have the packages on the pidgin site afaik but its best to use whats in repos afaik [07:25] but in ubuntu its not showing up at all [07:26] you don't have a D: drive anymore. [07:26] 2.6.6 is the current pidgin afaik [07:26] or C:, etc [07:26] what do i have then? [07:26] im new to all this [07:26] now it's gonna be something like sda/something === Guest80798 is now known as jasonjang [07:26] like I said, the others know more about it than I do. [07:26] the_lorax: instead of renaming the top level with different letters, there's only 1 filesystem hierarchy in linux [07:26] solarisboy:how sir? [07:26] which version of windows did you d/l? [07:26] Timon: apt-get install and 195 of nvidia? [07:26] the_lorax: what type of drive is it? [07:27] sd [07:27] the_lorax: your other drives get mounted under it in logical spots as to how they are going to be used [07:27] jastor: I believe nvidia was already on the system [07:27] so like sda/....sdb.....etc [07:27] what should I use x86 or x64? my processor can use either. is it safe to make the switch now? [07:27] hmm i installed the flash player and i still get the flash plater not installed error [07:27] the_lorax: so if youre going to have one hold system files and one hold users' home folders, you put the one for home folders as /home [07:27] arzonista: try seeing if you have an update in repos, you can do this from the command line "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [07:27] x84 probably. [07:27] its an SD cARD [07:27] the_lorax: while the top level system is / [07:27] sorry for caps [07:27] the_lorax: does that make sense? [07:28] so lorax: /home [07:28] its hard to read everyone talking [07:28] Timon: ls -Ssh /usr/bin/nvidia-* [07:28] okay. [07:28] the_lorax: you should get a highlight if someone's talking to you [07:28] arzonista: what version of ubuntu are you on and what exactly is the issue with pidgin? [07:28] jastor: 1,5M /usr/bin/nvidia-settings 4,0K /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig 12K /usr/bin/nvidia-bug-report.sh 4,0K /usr/bin/nvidia-detector [07:28] yeah i do [07:28] solarisboy:ok sir thank you [07:28] a bubble right? [07:28] so lorax/home/desktop/eeebuntu3.0.iso, etc.. [07:29] the_lorax: well that depends on what program you use to irc, but sure [07:29] Timon: ok rougly the same as me other than nvidia-xconfig [07:29] =) bubbles [07:29] im using pidgin [07:29] i use irssi [07:29] Yay, I'm gonna sync up my ipot and then reinstall nix :D [07:29] so what can i do about this problem? [07:30] solarisboy:ubuntu 9.04.i cant log in sir. [07:30] im trying to put some mp3 from my SD card onto ubuntu [07:30] man this is hard [07:30] Timon: nvidia-settings -v then [07:30] am i just going to have to run 2 OS ?? [07:30] well, first off, which distro did you install.. [07:30] nah, you shouldn't [07:30] the_lorax: no [07:30] the_lorax, try sudo mount /dev/tfa0 /media/sdcard [07:30] arzonista: log in to what messenger? (yahoo,msn,irc,jabber) ? [07:30] Timon: or installer or the detector [07:30] the_lorax: if you go to places -> computer does the sd show up anywhere? [07:30] because i can only listen to my music off my SD card in windows yua know? [07:30] i have adobe flash player installed but its not working. i dont get it [07:30] jastor: He then say: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". [07:30] the_lorax, if that does not work try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sdcard [07:31] eremite: what? [07:31] I use my sd card all of the time [07:31] eremite_: what are you doing? [07:31] okay, go to applications> terminal [07:31] mount his sd card? [07:31] jastor: And a few other lines with not important things [07:31] open that up. [07:31] eremite_: you're just pulling random device nodes out of thin air [07:31] hi all, how can I run python2.4 compiled file using python2.6, I am getting a magic number error . is there ant work around [07:31] yeah. [07:31] the_lorax: you need to simply figure what the device name is if itsn't mounted [07:31] solarisboy:yahoo & msn sir. [07:31] then type sudo mount/dev/sda1/media/sdcard [07:31] nightsjammies: whitespace [07:31] nightsjammies: need a space in there [07:31] im so confused [07:31] and then type in your password.. [07:32] well hell. [07:32] the_lorax, does sudo fdisk -l show the card? [07:32] oops [07:32] hello all [07:32] 20 people are tgalking to me at once [07:32] can we open a IM window? [07:32] the_lorax: go to applications -> accessories -> terminal [07:32] pls how do i change my default keyring password? [07:32] the_lorax: try this,, when you plug in the card,, "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" [07:32] the_lorax: the weird gibberish eremite_ is saying to you are commands to type into the terminal [07:32] why does opening the clicking the addon tab crash firefox.. [07:32] arzonista: ok and what leads you to believe this is an issue with the pidgin version ? and whats the pidgin version ? [07:32] Timon: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. device says atleast your graphcis card right? [07:33] maco wtf is yoru problem? Im giving viable solutions, there's no need for the harsh tone. [07:33] eremite_: i think the_lorax is getting lost on not having the first step, ie "open a terminal" [07:33] eremite_: if you dont get that part out first, the commands dont make any sense [07:34] eremite_: and thus would look like gibberish to a new user [07:34] having some problems, just installed ubuntu, got dual monitors, set them up in a NON-mirror configuration but i cant drag anything over to the second monitor, it wont let me drag it much further then halfway [07:34] Timon: adn the text generated by nvidia-config at the top [07:34] nvidia-xconfig* [07:35] eremite: I had the same problem recently, she didn't understand where the commands went because I forgot about tellingher to open a term [07:35] the_lorax: if the card is being recognized there is usually messages logged in log files,, and you may get indication of what the device name is when you plug it in.. go to the main menu -> accesories -> terminal and you will be able to type, type "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" and you will see the last messages in the log file, "live".. now you simply unplug the SD card and plug it back in,, you should see messages [07:35] jastor: He starts with: # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Sun Feb 1 20:21:04 UTC 2009 [07:35] me nvidia configure? [07:36] solarisboy:im sorry sir, i dont know is this. i just install the pidgin accompanied in the live cd. [07:37] Timon: ok .. seems nvidia-configure has replaced xconfig then or something? [07:37] I've recently edited /etc/environment, and .bashrc to reflect a system-wide use of a proxy. I can now no longer use apt-get or aptitude. [07:37] man right off the bat firefox wont work correctly [07:37] what a headache [07:37] jastor: I think so [07:37] arzonista: ok so run updates main like this.. go to the menu -> accesories -> terminal .. and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [07:37] Timon: run nvidia-settings [07:37] jastor: But my second screen is still not disabled [07:38] fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/sdcard: No such file or directory [07:38] how do you fix that? [07:38] nightsjammies: mkdir /media/sdcard [07:38] with sudo [07:38] jastor: I sudo opened it [07:38] Timon: just going to ask if you got two lists X screen 0 with suboptions .. and X screen 1 with suboptions [07:39] nightsjammies: sudo mkdir /media/sdcard [07:39] the message that it spits out (once for all repositories) is "Cannot initiate the connection to :80 (0.0.12.56). - connect (22 Invalid argument)" [07:39] jastor: I only have a list for X Screen 0 [07:39] solarisboy: ill already do that sir,but i try again for the second time. thank you. [07:39] (replacing with the actual port of course) [07:39] arzonista: what happend the first time? [07:39] jastor: There is no X Screen 1 there [07:39] Timon: its a sli graphics? [07:39] I have no idea where (0.0.12.56) came from. It isn't in /etc/environment or in .bashrc. [07:40] Timon: or just one gfx with two dvi?

If it's trying to connect to port:80, since 80 IS the port [07:42] arzonista: i believe they have a .deb package on getdeb site,, but it didn't work for me on my system [07:43] jastor: But X Server Display Configuration says there are 2 screens [07:43] Endasil: I'd assume the same, but it just isn't the case in either /etc/environment or in .bashrc [07:43] it is quite clearly HTTP_PROXY=ip:port in those files.

[08:07] gwinbee: just make sure it's not an environment problem by trying "HTTP_PROXY=http://host:port sudo apt-get..." [08:07] hello, is it just me or is grub grabbing its conf from somewhere other than menu.lst? [08:08] Endasil: same error as before [08:08] v3trae: yes [08:08] jastor: where's this moved to? [08:08] v3trae: probably the mbr where grub is installed [08:08] jastor: so we can't manually edit grubs config by editing a file anymore [08:09] v3trae: yes .. but you need to update grub afterwards [08:09] gwinbee: Does it work if you do "HTTP_PROXY= sudo apt-get..."? I haven't found anything apt-specific yet [08:09] v3trae: or i may be completely wrong .. checked grub.cfg ? [08:10] jastor: grub.cfg is generated by two other files [08:10] jastor: dont mind editing those other files, but wanted to make sure that i wasn't missing menu.lst somewhere [08:10] Endasil: no. [08:10] jastor: thats how i've been editing grub confs for years, i guess they changed it around on me =/ [08:11] hi, some my frind has some problem and i just need to ask, the problem is that has two pc, connected to router linksys wrt 54gl, one has wired connection and other wireless, on the wireless he is running ssh and ftp, and some times it can connect from other local pc to ssh/ftp and sometimes he get connection refused, so he need to restart router and than it can connect normal [08:11] Hi! I need help with my Frontech JIL 2214 ecam webcam [08:11] v3trae: didnt they dump menu.lst ages ago? [08:12] i think the problem isn't in router but in ubuntu.. [08:12] jastor: maybe ubuntu has /shrug [08:12] I am able to see the live video from webcam when I use gstreamer-properties [08:12] but under my skype or any other utility I cannot see that video why? [08:13] gwinbee: Sorry, I've got nothing. As I've said, no proxy experience [08:13] probably skype or other utilities aren't using gstreamer [08:13] gl [08:13] v3trae: i mightve been completly wrong about the cfg/menu.lst being stored in the mbr .. and that it does indeed read it from a partition [08:13] upd: sounds like an issue on the router it can happend if alot of traffic goes on the wireless lan interface ,, i've had the same happen on linksys/netgears before [08:13] v3trae: but that doesnt sound to reliable .. what if the partition with teh cfg gets korrupt? since youd loose booting the other partitions ;) [08:14] jastor: well i know menu.lst has always been on the boot partition, but it's just not there anymore. Problem is every guide is from like 2006 and says to go to menu.lst [08:14] psycho_oreos : How can I get this working? [08:14] jastor: also very sad X hasn't figured out how to remember window position =/ [08:14] ravibn, I wouldn't have a clue, I don't personally own a webcam and I don't skype [08:15] v3trae: i found some rather interesting bootloader earlier .. was thinking of giving that one a go [08:15] jastor: what lilo? xD [08:16] v3trae: it claimed it could disguise usb drives as ordinary harddrives so win 7 would acccept installation on it without any hacking ;) [08:16] v3trae: hehe .. lilo ;) [08:16] Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstreamer-properties is used it works perfectly. [08:16] But when I use skype or any other application it does show blank. How can I direct this video to these applications? [08:16] jastor: looks like 9.1 is using grub 2, this is probably why menu.lst is gone [08:16] jastor: its hard working on centos all day and then coming home to debian after...what 2-3 years now [08:17] yeah 9.10 is, 9.04 is the last to use grub 1 [08:17] v3trae: i especially liked the cases when you were on a lan .. and it messed up so it got stuck on LIL ... and noone had a windows installation cd so you could "reinstall" the windows bootloader over lilo [08:18] v3trae: for some reason .. slackware 4 would reinstall lilo over lilo ;) even if the lilo you wanted to overwrite was corrupt :P so you had to fdisk /mbr from a win cd in between ;) [08:18] woudldnt* [08:18] jastor: formatting anything + dualbooting = lose [08:18] v3trae: formating? formating wont remove lilo from the mbr ;) [08:19] v3trae: fdisk /mbr only (iirc) reinstall the windows mbr ,. nothing else :) [08:19] jastor: i'm just talking about in general, although i haven't used lilo for a veryyyyy long time [08:19] or what it was ... [08:19] /fixmbr ? [08:19] jastor: yes [08:20] anyway i got an 1.44 diskette with some nice mbr setting/fixing tool :) [08:20] v3trae: i didnt ever use it for mbr .. only fixing mbrs that had become "readonly" from other messed up lilo ;) [08:20] jastor: ah, yeah i want the old grub back, this annoys me.

[08:26] benlu456: dont want to sound rude .. but do they even sell 650MB cds anylonger? [08:26] jastor: Yes, a lot cheaper. [08:27] benlu456: considering the price of 700MB cds ;) what you "gain" must be insignificant [08:27] jastor: One dollar cheaper. [08:27] Why won't fileroller let me do .tar.7z? [08:27] eh? [08:27] 700MB CDs /barely/ conform to the Orange Book standard [08:27] When I select it and click ok... it just goes away :( [08:28] 700MB CD-Rs are inherently less reliable than 650MB CD-Rs [08:28] So, what;s wrong with fileroller?

[08:40] hi i am using apple itouch but it is not accessible when i mount it is showing only one folder. how to load fotos and where it is mounting [08:40] jastor, are you using pulse-audio ? [08:40] airtonix: alsa and oss .. depending on if im using the soundcard or hdmi out [08:41] jastor, its a shame you're not using pulse-audio because then this wouldn't be a problem for you. however... have you tried starting firefox or pidgin up by prefixing their commands with aoss ? [08:42] airtonix: i used pulse-audio earlier .. but the programs still argued who would get to use it .. instead of everyone at once [08:43] jastor, which version of ubuntu are you using >? [08:43] airtonix: that only one program at a time is allowed to use it isnt the problem .. but that i must shut down and restart the programs to get it to release so the others can access it ;) [08:44] jastor, you mean while using alsa ? [08:44] airtonix: its the the same in standard installations of ubuntu 9.04, kubuntu 10.04 both cd and dvd, and linuxmint [08:45] kubuntu 9.04 is supposed to be i nteh list [08:45] jastor, i dont have this issue in 9.10 or 8.10 [08:45] airtonix: yes i know its probably just some random hickup with my laptop :P [08:47] jastor: Back, 1 dollar is not much.

[08:49] airtonix: i will :) ill just test pulse_audio another time [08:49] jastor, i assume you manually removed pulse-audio ?

[09:02] all is good [09:02] m$ disk wot boot.. happy days ;) [09:03] jastor: maybe :) but how to get in touch with it? [09:03] Heya peeps. I really like the built-in FTP support in nautilus. However, I do need alot of bookmarks to alot of different ftp-servers, 30+, and I wounder how I can organize these better than just dragging them to the sinde panel on the window? [09:03] peppe: It might be worth asking in #ubuntu-marketing on freenode, thats the marketing team channel. Hopefully they should be able to point you in the right direction [09:03] peppe: legal .. at the bottom canonical group limited office .. phone tehm and ask [09:04] DJones: will do. thank you! [09:04] I recommend High level Assembler hla [09:04] I never knew assebly programming could be so fun and productive [09:04] anyone at all about ati driver ? [09:05] ati diver?

[09:09] Web: that's false, 5470 is R8xx which is unsupported by the 10.2 drivers [09:09] oktioz_, yes, but wouldn't i better to contact #lisp [09:09] !ot | benlu456 [09:09] benlu456: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:10] jastor: will the pppoe good in Lucid? [09:10] !audio > mohjak [09:10] mohjak, please see my private message [09:10] peppe i can show you a ubuntu fourm that made 10.2 work [09:10] ubottu: I am ask serious topic [09:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:10] ok thx Younder [09:10] benlu456: ? [09:11] jastor: Is Ubottu a bot? [09:11] benlu456, why dont you ask that in #ubuntu+1 [09:11] benlu456: yes it is a bot [09:11] ubottu is a bot [09:11] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information. [09:12] benlu456: but no .. i dont got a crappy connection like dsl or dialup [09:12] benlu456: so i wouldnt know about pppoe [09:12] jastor: are you in school or a company? [09:13] jastor, when you do get pulse-audio installed again, you'll want to confirm that all your running apps that use sound are listed in the pulse-audio application tab [09:13] neither [09:13] gdm password dialog (locked screen) is hung on "Checking..." after entering password. How can I clear/reset this? [09:13] benlu456: 100/10Mbit at home [09:13] benlu456, i think you've been told four times now this isn't a social chat channel. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [09:13] airtonix: ok :) [09:14] darrend: press alt+f2 and drop into a terminal, type sudo reboot to reboot. [09:14] eremite: I don't want to reboot, the machine is functioning fine apart from the login dialog [09:14] you mean you are developers? [09:14] eremite: I hav e lots of stuff running [09:14] peppe look here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/397133/ [09:14] jastor, it just occured to me that it might one of the issues you're having. (that one of the programs isn't actually using puls-audio and is trying to use alsa directly instead) [09:15] darrend: type killing gdm? killall dgm [09:15] gdm** [09:15] darrend: ctrl+alt+f1 .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. or restart [09:15] eremite: that will kill all of my X session [09:15] jastor: ^^ [09:15] Web: then , follow those instructions [09:15] darrend: you will have to restart X probably. [09:16] airtonix: wouldnt surprise me .. because mplayer always tried alsa first instead of pulse when i had it installed [09:16] airtonix: or if it was viceversa [09:16] this stuff gets more like windows every day. :( [09:16] darrend: Ive never had GDM problems. [09:17] jastor, i dont have too much experience with mplayer unfortunatly, but i do know it can be told to use pulse or the gnome default (which would be pulse if you set that in the multimedia settings) [09:17] darrend, try killing the screensaver [09:17] airtonix: telling mplayer what to use isnt the problem since its highly configurable .. but it coule be the same with any other application .. that isnt as configurable on that front [09:17] darrend, think i had same issue just yesterday. [09:18] jastor, yeah i dont think pidgin lets you...i could be wrong though [09:18] Hi [09:18] darrend, sudo killall gnome-screensaver << maybe it is the screensaver that is causing the wait. [09:18] airtonix: will you look at that === roy___ is now known as IceDeep [09:19] airtonix: pidgin has a method for soudn drivers [09:19] airtonix: ok .. shall i for fun let pidin steal the soundcard.. and see what its "autoamtic" is set to? [09:19] i installed sun Virtual box in ubuntu 9.04 and now 9.10 as a guest os in that, i need to configure net .. can some help me [09:20] jastor, ok, and pulse-audio also has padsp which operates exactly like aoss except it forces the program to use puse [09:20] pulse* [09:20] airtonix: :) [09:20] airtonix: rats, I just killed gdm before I saw your response. I'll try it if it happens again, thanks [09:20] jastor, so for pidgin you could run : padsp pidgin [09:20] MSK: your host machine .. is it nated? or do it get an external ip? [09:21] Hello all [09:21] MSK: if it gets an external ip .. does you ip allow you more than 1? [09:21] does your isp* [09:21] jastor :it is with external ip === IceDeep is now known as IceDeep_ [09:21] jastor : yes i can configure === IceDeep_ is now known as IceDeep [09:22] MSK: so if youre allowed more than 1 ip .. and not using your quota .. set network atached to bridged [09:22] jastor : caz i will configure static ip [09:22] MSK: static... static as in static from the isp? or static as in nated by the host? [09:22] Does anyone know how I can use the move command to move several files with an extension say .avi that is contained in several different folders to on main folder? [09:23] jastor : static as in static [09:23] hexdump_, use the find command with its -exec param [09:23] hexdump_: for i in $(find . -name *.avi) ; do mv $i foo/ ; done [09:23] MSK: ok .. should just be set attached to bridged ... and on teh guest isntead of using dhcp to get a ip from the isp .. set a static ip just as normal [09:23] MSK: i assume .. not sure [09:23] what is the $i mean? [09:24] what about find with -exec? [09:24] hexdump_: see "for i in..." ? $i is the filename [09:24] I tried it but I was afraid to screw something up [09:24] hexdump_: -exec is another way to do what i typed [09:24] jastor: i did that .. but not sucess [09:24] your method looks easier [09:24] MSK: your isp gives your host a dhcp ip? [09:24] hexdump_: just replace "foo/" with the folder you want stuff to go to [09:24] jastor : No [09:25] so at the prompt type do mv $i foo/ ; done [09:25] I know foo is an example [09:25] MSK: ok taht one is static as well ok [09:25] hexdump_: thats why i use it ;-) i know how to use loops. i dont know how to use -exec [09:25] jastor : yes [09:25] cya guys [09:25] so it would be do mv $i .avi/ ; done [09:25] ?? [09:25] hexdump_: if you type "for i in $(find . -name *.avi)" itll fill in $i with a filename returned by find [09:25] hexdump_: so if you run "find . -name *.avi" itll list all the avi's, you see? [09:26] MSK: ... what is it that isnt working just to be clear o nthat point [09:26] hexdump_: so "for i in $(find . -name *.avi) ; do" means "for every file listed by teh find command, do..." [09:26] yup I know how to do that but how could you type what I would type completely please [09:26] i am not able to ping my host ip from the guest [09:26] hexdump_: for in in $(find . -name *.avi) ; do mv $i foo/ ; done [09:26] jastor : i am not able to ping my host ip from the guest [09:26] hexdump_: thats the whole thing. just replace foo/ [09:27] MSK: thought about ufw mayby being the culprit? [09:27] not saying it is but it could be worth chekcing up [09:27] yes but foo is the filename???? [09:27] I'm sorry maco [09:27] hexdump_: no, foo is the directory where you want the file to go [09:28] oh oh oh [09:28] hexdump_: the command will fill in the filename where $i is [09:28] sorry thanks a bunch man [09:28] Good Morning... can anyone point me in the right direction to make a "S3 Trio 64V2" graphics card work well on ubuntu 9.10? I have tried several things and all i can get is 640x480 [09:28] MSK: and i really find it weird that an isp gives their customers static public ips... === Guest63215 is now known as patrik [09:28] MSK: unless you paid for it in which case i dont find it weird [09:28] hexdump_: $i is a variable and the for loop fills it in [09:28] how do i change the keyring on karmic? [09:28] thanks for explaining how it actually worked too. I find it's better to tell people what everything their doing does. [09:29] MSK: just wondering.. but can you pint any other ip from teh guest? [09:29] MSK: 8.8.8.8 for example [09:29] jastor : no expect the default which i hv set [09:29] I used gstreamer-properties from the shell command to deal with my sound device but still have problem with mic any solution? [09:30] maco: is shell scripting similar to IRC scripting? [09:30] hm. seems like there's no such thing as subfolders for bookmarks in nautilus yet. It's on the brainstorm [09:30] MSK: then its the guest that doesnt get conencted to the isp properly [09:30] it looked similar. [09:30] yes .. [09:30] hexdump_: slightly different syntax, but... meh scripting is scripting, yeah [09:30] hello [09:30] hexdump_: i mean the way you think is the same. the words might change though [09:30] MSK: but to make clear youre actually get public ips .. what steh first 2 pair of numbers in teh ip you set for the host? [09:31] jastor : only one ip i hv set in the host [09:31] hie [09:31] maco: I used to script with irc when I was like 16 and it was very easy for me to catch onto it. [09:31] hexdump_: irc itself doesnt really have scripts. im assuming you mean either perl or python for your irc client [09:32] maco: I thought it was easy to learn but powerful too [09:32] I have Xubuntu installed on my laptop... the problem is, that the resolution is too big while booting and in gdm... only after i log in, the resolution goes right... how to change this? [09:32] maco: yeah the scripts that are imported [09:32] MSK: if youve only set the ip in teh host its no wonder you cant ping the guest since it doesnt have an ip set [09:33] jastor : Any documentation for configuration .. [09:33] maco: yeah I spent a lot of time on my computer when I was 15-19 and then I disappeared from the entire scene for 8 years and forgot a ton of stuff. [09:33] Hi, which browser is the most usable in day to day use? From the chromium launchpad project the beta or the daily builds ppa? [09:33] MSK: for configuring what? how to set up ubuntu how to set a static ip? [09:33] MSK: just do the same inthe guest as you did for the host :) [09:34] maco: I mean I was into a lot. I was irc scripting, building flash websites, learning html, hardware/software I even went out and bought linux redhat 6.2 and mandrake 8.1 I think it was back in the day. [09:34] hexdump_: a bit off topic dude ;-) [09:34] hexdump_: also bedtime [09:34] I only had linux for like a week though [09:34] jastor : i have set the static-ip in the host (ubuntu 9.04) and also in the guest (ubuntu 9.10) [09:34] maco: oh you going to bed? yeah I've been up for a couple days I outta go to sleep too. [09:34] any one using skype here [09:34] jastor : Host with 10.0.0.52 and guest with 10.0.0.54 [09:35] MSK: ok .. i just asked you and you said you had only set it up in the host .. ok nevermind then .. [09:35] how to configure skype for ubuntu 9.10 [09:35] 10.0.x.x <-- is not a public ip range [09:35] thats nateed [09:35] nated [09:35] maco: Didn't really have a set topic but sorry if I kind of strayed off a little. [09:35] anyone know how/where to install S3 Trio 64V2 drivers in ubuntu? Please? [09:35] jastor : I thought we need to setup 10.0.0.52 and 10.0.0.54 in host .. [09:36] jastor : so i said like i hv configured only one static ip [09:36] MSK: .... if you didnt have a guest os at all installed or running .. how would you get the ip to your host normally? [09:36] MSK: Using a private IP range is fine as long as your router is in the same IP range [09:37] Are there any known programs that are able to add cover art into the tag of an MP4 video? [09:37] snowyrooftops: mmm ;) like i said i found it strange when he said he had static ip and that it was public ;) [09:37] jastor : each system in our network is assigned with a ip address [09:38] jastor: I'm guessing the router performs a NAT/NAPT between the private IPs and the public static IP. [09:38] snowyrooftops: yes.. if he has a router [09:38] jastor: ...assuming the public IP really is static [09:38] MSK: nated? [09:38] jaster : no [09:39] MSK: so each system in your network got an public ip .. and they are static all of them? [09:39] jastor: I missed the start of the conversation.... is MSK setting up a virtual machine to get it to talk to the Internet? [09:39] jastor : yes [09:39] MSK: anyway just set up the host the standard static ip .. and the guest another standard static ip [09:39] MSK: What's the default gateway address on those clients? [09:40] snowyrooftops, : Not only to internet but to other systems in my network [09:40] snowyrooftops,: 10.0.0.30 [09:40] MSK: 10.0.x.x STILL isnt a public ip ;) [09:40] MSK: 10.0.x.x STILL isnt a public ip ;) [09:40] woops wrong enter [09:41] jastor : no [09:41] MSK: Then 10.0.0.30 is a router and it has another IP address, which is public [09:41] snowyrooftops, : yes u r correct [09:41] MSK: If it is a home network, the router is probably handing out IP addresses via DHCP [09:42] MSK: As long as the gateway is setup and the Internet connectivity from the router is fine, the clients should be able to connect to the Internet. [09:42] MSK: anyway .. with network -> adapter 1 enabled network adapted atached to bridged adapter (whatever eth0 or what the host use to connect to teh network) [09:42] snowyrooftops: no all are through static ip only [09:42] MSK: Do you also have the DNS address configured in the clients? [09:42] MSK: the guest should be able to connect with an 10.x.x.x ip [09:42] ♫ la la la la la ♪ [09:43] MSK: i assume its a company [09:43] how do I update my linux headers please so that my pvr on vlc can work again [09:43] jastor: ya i am in a company === haderlump22_ is now known as haderlump22 [09:43] MSK: just asking to make sure, but the network admins have said "this ip is ok for the guest to use" right? [09:43] jastore: yes that is true .. caz i am the admin here [09:44] MSK: ok just making sure as i said :) [09:44] What happens when packages are updated? Do the old ones get deleted? [09:45] MSK: say when when youve set up ip for both host and guest [09:45] I just got a "green screen of death", ie screen turned completely green and I had to restart my computer. Anyone know what this might be? [09:46] plouffe: possibly AIDS [09:46] santa virus ;) [09:46] lol [09:46] santa should have been red no [09:46] with st patrick varaiation of theem ;) [09:46] jastor, windows Vista for christmas?

[09:53] jastor: and viceversa [09:53] MSK: and you said you couldnt ping any other ip either ;) [09:54] MSK: from the guest [09:54] jastor: that is true [09:54] test [09:55] airtonix: whats the /var/log to see if it have connected to the network? [09:55] airtonix: the guest .. is it pure shell ? or does it have gnome? [09:56] jastor : it is gnome ..

[11:11] echosystm: erm, those things are installed by default [11:11] jrib, if you read what i wrote, you would notice im one of those people who likes to install things from scratch [11:12] <`kiasecto> Can anyone help me? I installed ubuntu to a primary partition on a disk, but it wrote the grub boot loader to another disk - which has since been removed. Now I need to somehow make a primary partition bootable with grub? [11:12] echosystm: then define "install things from scratch". [11:12] install ubuntu from an alternate cd with command line (no gnome etc.) [11:12] then install what i want from there [11:12] kaolbrec: thanks, its ok now [11:12] echosystm: do you mean the minimal install? [11:12] echosystm, why not Arch, or Crux?

[11:13] normally i'd use debian but the current kernel doesnt play nice with my hardware, nor does backports [11:13] im just curious as to why nothing works like this in ubuntu? [11:14] how du u use toshiba bluetooth in ubuntu 9.10? [11:14] echosystm: you're being vague. Describe what your actual errors are. Most likely, you need to install more than just gnome-core if you want a gnome desktop [11:14] hi,all [11:15] i have a question,if anyone could help me,that would be nice!

I want to configure my ubuntu 9.10 to show (and keep) only the last three kernels. How do I do it? [11:16] jrib: no dont mix debian with ubuntu [11:16] echosystm: heh, good luck with your issue. But if you want help, ask a question with details [11:16] lspci can display any hardware infomation, for example, ethernet card,and ifconfig displays any infomation about interface such as eth0. if i have more than one card, how could i know which one use the specify card. [11:16] <`kiasecto> Hello all! Question: I have ubuntu 9.10 installed on a primary partition. But there is no bootloader/GRUB. What do I do to get it bootable? When I installed ubuntu it installed the boot loader to a different disk, which is now gone. [11:17] rsk, iceroot: I meant package names [11:17] ok heres details - why when i isntall gnome-core and run it, do i get errors popping up telling me gnome panel plugins are unnavailable? [11:17] this is poor packaging [11:17] but why? [11:17] I have a problem with cryptdisk sometimes only creates /dev/mapper/name and sometimes both that and /dev/mapper/name_unformatted.. is there a known problem with this? [11:17] blackrock, i do not have a solution, but maybe you can learn something from this link => http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892657 [11:18] anyone? [11:18] can someone help me pls? [11:18] is there any similar service like netcraft to determine the OS a website is running on...? [11:18] kaolbrec: thanks, how can I put it in the far right ? it doesn't pass over the sound, lan and mail icons [11:18] Rashid: just ask the question [11:19] how can I limit the number of installed kernels on my system? [11:19] hi all... I want to play zynga poker on facebook with flash on firefox, but it got blank... any clue?? [11:19] Rashid, if it doesnt work out of the box, chances are its not supported by the current kernel and it isnt worth trying [11:19] stanley_, of the same chipset/driver? [11:19] phrix: have you got flash installed [11:19] blackrock, here's another link about the same issue => http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-04/msg07944.html [11:19] yeah how du i use thoshiba bluetooth on ubuntu? [11:19] echosystm: because you installed gnome-core and it doesn't include them. You probably want something like gnome-desktop-environment [11:19] sagaci, yes... [11:19] this is my point though jrib - i should not get those errors from installing gnome-core [11:19] psycho_oreos, oh,no,for example, i have 2 cards with different chipset. [11:19] echosystm: why? [11:20] plugin settings should be patched in from their own packages, not gnome-core [11:20] ncsat, right click on the other things until you get the option to unlock them [11:20] and i have interface eth0 and eth1. how do i know which card does eth0 use? [11:20] this is how it works on debian/arch/fedora/centos [11:20] ncsat, then drag it over there, and re-lock it all [11:20] why do ubuntu mess up packages like this? [11:20] are u sure? [11:20] * Rashid hit his head [11:21] stanley_, well usually the first one detected via kernel and outputted via dmesg indicates that should be specified as eth0 whilst the second detected chipset/driver by kernel will become eth1 [11:21] !why [11:21] echosystm: we're volunteers, we didn't package it [11:21] stanley_, to resolve that I'd modify udev rules [11:21] Stargaze: OK, I'll check them out. Here's the messages in normal boot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/397182/ [11:22] is there any similar service like netcraft.com to determine the OS a website is running on...?

[11:22] echosystm: check the ubuntu changes from the debian package and see if you can find an explanation I guess. If it's the case that the debian package didn't have that behavior and the ubuntu one does, then file a bug [11:22] stanley_, though I can see your problem, it'll be even worse when the drivers alternate between eth0 and eth1 [11:22] rww, just errors saying power management applet is missing etc. [11:23] HI!! is it posible to print on the shell a small text (an url for instance) that ive copied before.... i mean automatically when i call the script, the text to be printed on the shell thanks! [11:23] things like this shatter my confidence in ubuntu [11:23] blackrock, strange, idd, i haven't seen that error before [11:23] psycho_oreos, it's boring. sometimes you don't know which interface is used. [11:23] if theres a reason why its like this, perhaps my confidence can be restored [11:23] so that is why i am asking [11:23] echosystm: Is this on a freshly installed system with a new home directory, or did you copy over your home directory from a previous installation? [11:23] brand new mate [11:23] xxx_, you mean you want to run a script that prints something in the terminal? [11:23] stanley_, there are a few solutions but I don't know of an easy way apart from getting dirty with linux CLI [11:24] i literally installed ubuntu, then apt-get alsa xorg gnome-core [11:24] then startx [11:24] and i get errors [11:24] kaolbrec, yes i want my little script to print on the terminal the text ive copied(ctrl+C) before [11:24] echosystm, I don't know how stripped down minimal is. Does it have vesa etc? [11:25] echosystm: which version of Ubuntu is this on? [11:25] any [11:25] xxx_, to paste from the clipboard to terminal you can do ctrl+shift+v [11:25] kaolbrec: on sound and lan it never shows the option to unlock :( [11:25] ive tried lts, 8.10 and 9.04 [11:25] the behaviour is the same on all of them [11:26] kaolbrec, i already now that i want this to be done automatically without my command [11:26] kaolbrec: sorry for the disconnect [11:26] echosystm, in a fewer hours from, there are many more people here, so maybe try and ask your question later today [11:26] xxx_, you can write a bash script to do such a thing [11:26] ok [11:26] psycho_oreos, just now i check my dmesg log, find this "[ 1.598582] eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xd800, 00:e0:4c:3c:ad:14, IRQ 19 [11:26] " [11:26] psycho_oreos, that's great! thanks a lot! [11:26] 10.04 is excellent [11:26] stanley_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:27] kaolbrec, im looking for the command if its possible [11:27] ncsat, lan and sound are part of the notification panel [11:27] echosystm: If you wouldn't mind, file a bug about it with all the specifics, link me to it, and I'll try to reproduce it when I get a spare machine for testing. [11:27] its not a "bug" rww [11:27] ncsat, all those status -yicons for running programs move together. [11:27] stanley_, hopefully the drivers won't alternate between ethX [11:28] xxx_, well, in a bash script it's just echo yourtexthere [11:28] its just poor packaging - the default gnome configuration loaded in gnome-core still has references to things that arent actually isntalled with the package [11:28] does that make sense? [11:28] echosystm: Yes. I'm not sure why you don't think that's a bug? [11:28] theres no bug in the code itself [11:28] echosystm, you mean it expects them to be installed [11:28] yes [11:28] and it shuoldnt [11:29] Stargaze: I could've done a fresh install, but I can't recover my files from the encrypted folder [11:29] which is a bug... [11:29] echosystm, not unless it pulled them as dependencies [11:29] blackrock, so it's an encrypted folder? [11:29] yup [11:29] rww, it's not a bug. It's a poor decision.

[11:39] barata: not ext4, as far as I know, if you have ext3 there is a driver with some support for acces [11:39] Dr_Willis: well to each his own [11:39] enemy territory = win [11:40] yeah .. which one that works for win7 [11:40] and that you've used yourself [11:40] Zider, for games, check http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html [11:40] I dont use win7 - so no idea [11:40] Stargaze: I know which games are available for linux [11:40] !fs-driver [11:40] et works on linux too [11:40] and some other ID software games [11:40] Doom 3 is for linux also [11:41] suolakurkku: yeah idsoft is good that way.. unfortunately that's not the kind of games I play [11:41] id tends to port all their games to linux [11:41] anybody try an RT kernel on ubuntu? just looking for pointers to a pre built kernel and any problems ppl may have had [11:41] barata, try http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/media/explore2fs-1.07.zip [11:41] but then companies that use teh id engines.. often dont bother [11:41] explore2fs? [11:41] never heard .. [11:41] you can play with emulators too if you like retrogames [11:41] like me [11:42] http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs [11:42] I do that on the xbox :P [11:42] for classic games, check http://maketecheasier.com/play-classic-console-games-in-linux/2009/11/13?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MakeTechEasier+%28Make+Tech+Easier%29&utm_content=Google+Reader [11:42] mmkay [11:42] SNES :) [11:42] nes and SNES FTW [11:42] suolakurkku: indeed [11:43] hi does any one have problems connecting via XDMCP on 9.10? When i try to connect from win box via xing, i go to gdm login and when type my stuff and press enter it's just freeze on this. [11:43] zaphodd, i dont really think ubuntu is the ideal distro for this kind of thing [11:43] have you looked into debian? [11:43] youre likely to get much better support there [11:44] ubuntu is for people who rarely even see a terminal [11:44] echo: hmm.. kind of already have a bunch of ubuntu installs that would be hard to upgrade [11:44] well, explore2fs doesnt support win7 Stargaze [11:44] ah, fair enough [11:44] echosystm: the ubuntu I run (server) doesn't ahve anything but terminal ;) [11:45] barata: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installable_File_System#ext2.2Fext3 seemw to be the available options [11:45] yeah Zider, now try asking someone in here a question about it and see how many replies you get :P [11:45] that was kinda my point [11:45] we have played around setting CPU affinities but it's worth trying a full RT kernel as well [11:46] just can't seem to find much info on google [11:46] echosystm: most stuff works the same in both, server just lacks the desktop part :P [11:46] zaphodd, here... [11:46] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image [11:46] zaphodd, consider yourself a pioneer, then, and making history :) [11:46] linux-image-2.6.31-9-rt [11:46] zaphodd: as far as prebuilt kernels go, you'd want linux-image-rt from the repos. [11:47] yeah guess I can get the prebuilt & give it a spin. who knows how it will function [11:47] probably horribly :P [11:47] best of luck! [11:47] zaphodd: or linux-rt if you also need restricted modules [11:48] ok this should be fun [11:48] linux must have changed. i started running it in 2006 [11:48] where I downlod software BRL-CAD? [11:48] ppl weren't discussing nes emulators in linux irc chats back then [11:49] first time I ran linux was in the 90s sometime.. [11:49] but everyone knew everything about kernel flavors [11:49] Hello, When I enter any channel I seem to have all the old chat in there instead of a blank window and the same with PM. How can i stop that and delete the old saved stuff. Thanks [11:49] the linux community was a lot smarter back then zaphodd, but smaller haha [11:49] Sato1_: which IRC client are you using? [11:50] what i don't get is, why do ppl who aren't kernel/terminal literate run linux at all [11:50] xchat gnome [11:50] might as well use windows [11:50] i am a newbie [11:50] zaphodd: its free? [11:50] because they cant afford a mac and love anything that isnt windows, just because it isnt windows [11:50] is there any similar service like netcraft.com from where i can determine the OS a website is running/hosted on...? [11:50] yeah but the whole point of loving things that aren't windows is understanding the systme underneath [11:50] they live for that air of elitism of telling people they are running "unix" [11:51] zaphodd: everyone has to start somewhere [11:51] Satol_, settings pref logging [11:51] my mother isn't terminal literate. she uses linux [11:51] mothers are a different story :) [11:51] getting used to the GUI is what makes people love an OS [11:52] Dan_E: I don't see that in xchat-gnome [11:52] kind of nice being able to browse without getting click jacked constantly [11:52] Its amazing what a little training can do. [11:52] zaphodd: echosystm: Somewhat slipping -> #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [11:52] XChat 2.8.6 sorry [11:52] hey if I get some new kernels (linux-image-rt), will ubuntu automatically set the new kernel to boot by default? (hoping not) [11:53] Sato1_: I don't think the option's available in xchat-gnome. Normal xchat (in the xchat package) can do it, though. [11:53] zaphodd: It will, old kernels will be in GRUB menu, selectable [11:53] Stargaze, you should try the CLI [11:53] theadmin: thx [11:53] that's what i love about linux [11:54] rww: Thanks. Guess i have to live with it [11:54] Sato1_: check the log settings and tell it to not save logs.. [11:54] i unchecked that [11:54] stevecam, why do you say that? [11:54] but it keeps showing every log of the channel [11:54] then use the clear log menu item for each channel perhaops [11:55] is there any similar service like netcraft.com from where i can determine the OS a website is running/hosted on...? [11:55] a read of the xchat docs/help is also handy [11:55] Dr_Willis: xchat (and thus xchat-gnome) has a separate set of logs for scrollback. apparently the xchat-gnome developers elected to remove the preferences relating to it. [11:55] Stargaze, have you ever used the command line in libux? [11:55] stevecam, all the time, what are you trying to say? [11:55] rww: theres proberly setable options vya the command line. or the right click menus on the channel tabs. I dont use xchat any more so thats about all i can say [11:56] Dr_Willis: it's definitely settable in /xchat's/ preferences. xchat-gnome is not xchat. [11:56] you said that a gui makes a person falls in love with an OS, i love the CLI [11:56] rww: first thing i do with xchat0gnome is delete it :) [11:56] hi [11:56] Dr_Willis: thanks [11:56] abusleem: Hello [11:56] Dr_Willis: I cant even do that [11:56] ubottu: ot | stevecam, Stargaze [11:56] stevecam, Stargaze: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:57] stevecam, 97% of users worldwide does not want to use the CLI [11:57] i delete it and it comes back [11:57] Stargaze: Huh, i'm in the other 3%, i guess [11:57] Sato1_: i suggest not using xchat-gnome but use the normal xchat [11:57] rww, w/e [11:57] theadmin, stevecam its because we're an elite ;) [11:58] Dr_Willis: How do i delete it even? i delete it and it says installing program [11:58] Sato1_: use the packatge manager.. install xchat.. just dont use xchat-gnome [11:58] xchat-gnome is a total bleh, wonder why do they even need it :/ [11:59] * om26er thinks there is no gui IRC client currently being actively developed gtk [12:00] om26er: I dunno, i'm a pidgin user lol [12:00] om26er: umm. xchat? pidgin? [12:00] om26er: probably many more :) [12:00] thanks guys [12:00] rww, the last version of xchat came in 2008 [12:00] rww, pidgin is an IM client also [12:01] i still perfer some of the features in the OLD xchats [12:01] hi all [12:01] Hi, gain [12:01] om26er: so? [12:01] waiting for beta1... [12:01] well, how much can you really develop an IRC client? eventually, it will be "finished" [12:01] gain : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [12:01] !ot [12:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:01] theadmin, I had wondered that myself. It uses the same resources that XChat does, XChat is already a GTK+ app, and XChat-GNOME just removes features [12:01] Pici: thx [12:01] how do i print the clipboard on the console? [12:02] it seems like a futile venture and it's not even capable of running all XChat plugins [12:02] xxx_: Middle click or right click -> Paste [12:02] After uninstalling pulse audio, I cannot use the volume buttons on my keyboard to adjust the volume. How do I fix this? [12:02] theadmin, i mean via a shell command if it is possible! [12:03] xxx_: Oh. Doubt it is. [12:03] hi friends/folk [12:03] is there any similar service like netcraft.com from where i can determine the OS a website is running/hosted on...? [12:03] what is the default COM1 device name in ubuntu linux? [12:03] theadmin, ok thanks buddy [12:03] crackguy: can't nmap do that? [12:04] DelphiWorld: i think it may be /dev/ttys0 or S0 [12:04] hey guys [12:04] amaurea, thanks, i didn't know nmap [12:04] is there any software to flash sony ericsson mobiles from ubuntu ? [12:05] crackguy: nmap has a steep learning curve, but is very flexible [12:05] Dr_Willis: thank you a lot [12:05] have problem to install rome total war. anyone ? [12:06] today's betarelease time! \o/ [12:06] Seze: Maybe you should ask in #winehq if it's a windoze game [12:06] oki thanx [12:06] try there [12:07] Dr_Willis: i have tty0, i am trying it [12:07] DelphiWorld: tty0 i think is different from ttys0 [12:07] DelphiWorld: but its been ages since i last used serial ports. the names may have chnged [12:08] I think i don't even have any serial ports :/ [12:08] anyone know? [12:08] how do i use minicom? [12:08] any other program other thant minicom? [12:08] read its docs :) [12:08] Dr_Willis: man can't read it i am using ssh with a screen reader that don't read full window;) [12:08] it has menus somehow to set teh rates and ports and enab le echoing. [12:09] * DelphiWorld is connecting from a ubuntu server [12:09] name 10 linux apps which are practically DEAD by now, but used to be very functional [12:09] if you can answer that, you've used linux for at least 10 years [12:09] barata: That'd be highly offtopic. [12:09] Dr_Willis: the arg for menu is -s [12:09] barata: I can't :P I use Linux for 1 year only [12:10] barata: I don't see how that is related to running linux for a long time.. [12:10] name 10 linux distros that are DEAD ... but used to exist [12:10] if you can answer that, you know linux 'history' good enough === Mowiiii`Aw is now known as Mowee [12:10] barata: and it belongs in #ubuntu-ot [12:10] yes, but it doesn't mean you've used it for long :P [12:11] oh there's a channel for that? neat [12:11] well ... sure ... ;) [12:12] Dr_Willis: heeey, that channel is empty! :( [12:12] Zider, Dr_Willis: #ubuntu-offtopic, not #ubuntu-ot [12:12] oh [12:12] nah.. stay in -OT :) you can be the op. [12:12] Dr_Willis: I don't wanna be op [12:13] since channel creation inside the Ubuntu namespace isn't willy-nilly... no ;P [12:13] willywhat? [12:13] Dr_Willis: sory! got ttyS! [12:14] Hi. Anyone here know hot to remote a win7 pc from ubuntu? I can remote from Win to Win but don't get Remote Desktop in Ubuntu to work. [12:14] DelphiWorld: Yep CASE is imporntant [12:14] Sunkan85: vnc [12:14] Sunkan85: You might want to look at jrdesktop [12:15] Sunkan85: vnc?

I'm noob in ubuntu so i might do wrong [12:17] I notice that Konsole has a 'zmodem' upload menu item.. takes me back to the BBS days of old. [12:17] I wonder if konsole can work as a serial terminalk also [12:17] ooo zmodem <3 [12:18] Sunkan85: use web viewer;) :P [12:20] hi, can you tell me if the grub in jaunty (9.04) is grub 1 or grub 2? [12:20] 9.,04 defaults to grub1 [12:20] 9.10 defaults to grub2 [12:21] I did try out an web viewer called LogMeIn but to slow since u run it thru the web browser [12:21] Dr_Willis: ok, thanks [12:21] I think i got that right. [12:21] You could install grub2 on 9.04 if you wanted.. and grub2 will NOT be installed if you Upgrade to 9.10 [12:22] hello, I'm compiling new stable kernel 2.6.33.1 on ubuntu karmic, but encounterd this error: http://pastebin.com/G1Gi1yre [12:22] Sunkan85: no, vnc have there own web viewer enable it in settings [12:22] can someone please tell me wthat to do with it?

[13:15] Dr_Willis, tnk u.. [13:15] hey does mmv have a confirm overwrite flag? [13:15] Dr_Willis, it missed two ntfs partitions === traveller_ is now known as traveller [13:15] paranoid_pedlar: 2 different installs of windows? or a Install and a 'restore' partition? It found both mine. (install and restore) [13:16] Too bad it dident label the restore as being such.. :) [13:17] Dr_Willis, And I couldn't add them as hard as I tried. I got some errors saying I had to chkdsk for my ntfs partitions, and reboot windows, but how the heck am I supposed to do that if I can't see them in grub. One a windows, and one for media [13:19] disappearedng: mmv or mv? [13:20] paranoid_pedlar, ntfs's all on one drive ? [13:20] brianherman: No, (you mean mv. Right?) [13:21] paranoid_pedlar: I have some windows 'live cd's' :) that i tracked down from... err. somewhere. :) [13:21] Dr_Willis, I was going to use a bootdisk to do chkdsk but how would I reboot? meh, I really don't care. The only reason I had it installed is to learn how to protect your pc when using windows. To many conflicting ideas to get a firm answer or decision. Trying to come up with something automated, so I don't have to actually be there to setup my moms computer. Two ntfs partitions and three linux. /boot, /root, home [13:21] brianherman: The file manager does tho. [13:21] How is the automatic update of /etc/hosts in the event of a change to /etc/hostname handled? [13:21] paranoid_pedlar: i tend to keep linux and windows on their own hd's and keep grub on the linux hd. lets me easially boot windows without grub that way [13:21] iceroot, grub2 is hawt, it is pretty cool now that if i go into synaptic and remove the old kernel file it automagically updates the kernel list on grub's menu, "I see what you did there." comes to mind. [13:22] I can't gurb from 2.6.31-20-generic [13:22] paranoid_pedlar: with grub2 i got a 'ubuntu.iso' file saved in /boot/ i can boot from a special grub entry to reinstall/repair also. :) [13:22] terry_:what are u talking about i am very slow [13:22] fumanchu182: it did that in grub1, too ;) [13:22] #vnc is slightly dead, i hope noone minds if i ask quick Q here: easiest way of connecting from ubuntu to win 7 (starter home edition)? or, the way with the least amount of installing/preparation on the win7 pc? [13:22] Dr_Willis, sounds like a good idea, accept I can't do that since I'm on a laptop. And I built my live windows with ubcd4win. Unless I can do that with an external drive? [13:23] rww, it never worked for me always had to edit the menu file [13:23] brianherman: Was trying to answer your question. [13:23] but I can gurb from 2.6.31-14-generic [13:23] ah [13:23] paranoid_pedlar: You can boot iso from external drive. or install to external drive. but ive rarely done that [13:23] how i can set proxy with user and pass word on terminal [13:23] ? [13:23] disappearedng: assuming you meant mv, "mv -i". [13:23] afternoon [13:23] no, I mean mmv [13:23] I can't gurb from 2.6.31-20-generic, but I can gurb from 2.6.31-14-generic! what is the problem? [13:24] Mohammad[B]: Please restate your quesion more clearly. [13:24] chat about amule please??? [13:24] no dvd playback on ubuntu 9.04 [13:24] hi! it's my first time on the xchat... i have problems with mounting. Automounting suddenly turned off, if I mount anything manually I cannot copy anytihnig (copying stops after 64kb).It;s not the issue of fstab (I didn't change anything there), permissions, or filesystem. what's wrong? [13:24] Dr_Willis, I've been talking with some ruby programmers about whether I need to be in windows to make sure the script works and they said no, unless I"m using unix specific tools. I think if I have to, I'll upgrade my laptop's memory and run windowz in virtual [13:24] !dvd | jacek_ [13:24] jacek_: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:24] Sorry, that was for you, jake1 [13:25] Morning Corbo [13:26] i would like to remove some program from my system and i wanted to make sure - if i will do sudo ---and remove will it remove all the files related to this program - or there will be some other files saved in some place like what is happening with windows?

It shares the exact same "Start" number/point as another partition. It is an "extended" partiton and the other partitions are NTFS and Linux & Linux Swap. How can I recover this? Full HD format did not solve and gparted only see's disk as 230gb not 250gb. [13:47] <^mNotIntelligent> has anyone download the 10.4 beta ?

[13:59] terry_, that tells you YOUR address not the user's address [14:00] paranoid_pedlar, any of the apt tools will do -- synaptic, aptitude, etc [14:00] unop: Well, he asked about how to get an "ip address" [14:00] BrixSat: so the sound card has drivers .... what card does alsamixer show ?

(launch it from terminal make sure you have pulseaudio in both sound systems) [14:03] xtjacob: that i do not know. maybe search for some gps apps in synaptic ... [14:03] Blizzerand: But you might be able to use gxine [14:03] any 1 know abt screen recordin software for ubuntu 9.10 ? , purvesh [14:04] erUSUL, gstreamer does not exist [14:04] terry_ : I didn't mean anything specific , there are many softwares in Windows that let you download videos (found in format ) . But I cannot find any such software in linux [14:04] unop, I'm not sure yet. But the reason I ask, is because I would like to be able to browse all installed software, then I can determine what I want to remove [14:04] BrixSat: sorry is without the space « gstreamer-properties » [14:05] does software center show all the packages or just some of them? [14:05] paranoid_pedlar, then synaptic is probably the easiest way to do this. [14:05] Blizzerand: gxine, mplayer, totem [14:05] ^mNotIntelligent: anything?

[14:17] purvesh, well there are a few applications [14:17] purvesh, gtk-recordmydesktop is about the best [14:17] ikonia: in Ubuntu I've succeeded to run cron jobs when I put them in /etc/cron.daily for example, but when I use crontab -e from a user account then it doesn't run as expected. [14:17] Ceeriael: making the driver source will make the module [14:17] oh great these people just like to make everything difficult for me. heh heh spaces in their filenames. [14:17] jatt: look at cron allow/deny [14:18] and when i do this, thats when i get the error. [14:18] purvesh, that doesnt mean it is a great application... but it seems to be the best of the one available [14:18] Blizzerand: Go on and install mplayer, (and keep on ignoring the links I sent you :) [14:18] coz_, thanx for reply ok... that is the best ... full screen capture software [14:18] terry_ ; what links [14:18] meitnerium: thanks man. you too sipior, [14:18] ikonia: /etc/cron.d doesn't have any cron.allow or cron.deny [14:18] purvesh, yeah... as far as I know that is about the best...you could do a search for linux screencasting but I think you will find that one with the most promise [14:18] ikonia: maybe I should add one? [14:19] Blizzerand: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [14:19] lanoxx-: the gcc man page sets the situation out pretty clearly. [14:19] a cron.allow I mean [14:20] 1) started up ubuntu livecd, 2) apt-get install build-essential linux-source 3) made some symlink the readme for the driver told med 4) copyed .config from /boot/ into linux source dir, followed by make (short) make menuconfig (then save and exit) and then make (10 sec or so, again by the readme)... 5) tried to make the driver... and thats when i get this error. === hexdump is now known as hexdump_ [14:20] coz_, can u give me the package name or proper command ?

[14:20] sipior, point me to the section [14:20] I tried to google the problem (with the given driver) but they say make prepare should do the trix (with getting auto.conf) .. but it dosent seem to do me any god. [14:20] good* [14:21] purvesh, I believe it is sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop [14:21] lanoxx-: search for "-std" [14:22] hello you ;) [14:22] is there a way to keep synaptic open to browse installed software, and use aptitude in terminal without having package manager conflicts? [14:23] I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu Karmic and XP. My HDD has 3 partitions. For some reason the 3rd partition requires a root password but the XP one doesn't. I did not set this up but I want that 3rd partition to automount on startup. How do I do this? [14:23] sipior, it says that c99 will become the default, when all functions have been implemented, that does not explain why its different on mingw [14:24] I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to convert my existing ubuntu 8.04 server (with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives) with LVM and partitions currently existing on just /dev/sda. Is it possible to convert the existing to a RAID mirror with /dev/sdb? I can't find anythign in Google about doing it to an existing OS running partition. The boxes are in a building across town and I'd prefer being able to do this remotely. [14:24] cajun, did you by chance try to install ubuntu ...something went wrong and you reinstalled from the live cd? [14:24] "When adding a new entry to a blank crontab, forgetting to add a newline at the end is a common source for the job not running." [14:24] arrrgh [14:24] lanoxx-: "ISO C99. Note that this standard is not yet fully supported; [14:24] see for more [14:24] information." [14:24] cajun, I think it's asking you to provide your linux password so that you have privlages? to mount it [14:24] ick, sorry about that, channel. [14:24] Trying to install UNR, when I try to boot from the flash drive with the image I get "BOOTMGR is missing" [14:25] coz: I don't think so [14:25] Blizzerand: You can also install huludesktop [14:25] Is there an mp3 player that I can just start in a directory and get a playlist I can click through? I don't want something to 'manage a library' for me or anything. Remember xmms? How it didn't need a server process to run? It just worked? I want that again. [14:25] I copied the image etc using unetbootin windows [14:25] cajun, ok and when you put in your password can you mount that partition? [14:25] It's just the one partition, USB drives don't require a password nor does the XP partition. [14:25] linenoise: xmms [14:25] Oh yeah. Once I enter my password it mounts fine but it won't mount automatically on startup. [14:25] terry_: I just installed it. It's all sucky now. [14:25] sipior, yet it seems that it IS the default in mingw, because code like for(int i=0; ...) compiles on windows with the default options but not on linux, and also something like int x = pow(5.0, 6.0); compiles on windows but gives a link error on linux [14:26] /nickserv register Rfkfvfhb tretyakova@krm.net.ua [14:26] cajun, ok and is this an ntfs partition? [14:26] I want some progs to use folders on that partition. [14:26] cajun, you have to add it to your something... someone fill that in with the config file [14:26] coz: Yes it is. [14:26] terry_: There some kind of server daemon involved and ... I just want to cd into a dir, run a gui and be able to play music [14:26] lanoxx-: i don't know what to tell you. [14:26] I need help with my Webcam. I have ubuntu 9.10 installed and I hv a Frontech ecaM JIL 2214 It is working with gstreamer but with other applications like skype or any other application it does not show up any suggestion? [14:26] boot ini? [14:26] lanoxx-: use mingw, then? [14:26] linenoise: audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 === vinicius is now known as Guest45393 [14:27] terry_: I haven't herad of audacious or bmpx I'll check them out. xmms2 is the one I hate [14:27] pedlar: thanks for responding to my plea as well. [14:27] linenoise: I use xmms sometimes. [14:27] cajun, here is one soluton http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 however ...I would research this just abit before attempting it just in case [14:27] linenoise: but I mostly just use my SanDisk Express [14:28] cajun, I am testing that now so hold on [14:28] cajun, etc fstab [14:28] lanoxx-: i probably missed something, but, out of curiosity, what versions of gcc are you using in mingw and in linux? [14:28] coz: Ok thank you. Do you find it strange that one partition will automount but another won't? [14:28] sipior, dunno, i was just currious as to why it would give me a link error linux but it works in mingw, well anyway, i guess i just have to accept it, its rather broken in mingw, than in gcc [14:28] Ill search to be sure [14:28] linenoise: I don't care for xmms2 either. [14:28] pedlar: Thank you [14:29] arathald, in linux its gcc-4.4.1 the mingw version is the one that comes with codeblocks 8.2, let me check [14:29] hey, can u umount the live cd to put in a antivirus cd in? [14:29] cajun, well no, because it's not set permissions, which is why it won't mount. Makes you safe [14:29] how about 'moc' as a player (ncurses)? [14:29] cajun, well I also have dual boot with 2 ntfs partitions under windows...however neither of them auto mount and i dont want them to but it is possible [14:29] lanoxx-: yeah, check your mingw gcc version, because, last I checked, it was incredibly outdated [14:29] I just found this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785263 [14:29] cajun, that particular application mentioned on that link I gave you seems to work [14:30] is it possible to umount ubuntu livecd? and keep it running [14:30] or do i gotta load it into ram [14:30] coz, pedlar: well the XP partition mounts just fine without prompting for my password. [14:30] Middleman, you can keep it running but it is definitly loaded into ram [14:30] hi, is there a video converter available in ubuntu? [14:30] how do i umount the dvd coz, umount /dev/dvd [14:30] viso: to convert what? [14:30] i need to convert video into ipod [14:31] viso: try handbrake [14:31] viso: handbrake [14:31] damn says its busy maybe i can force it [14:31] do you guys think it's possible to send installed packages and descriptions to a txt file? [14:31] thanks for your help [14:31] coz: Thanks I'll try it. I understand the logic behind not automounting the partitions by default but I'm just confused as to why one partition mounts but the other doesn't. [14:32] Middleman: if you unmount the dvd, it probably will be unable to find a number of things, iirc, you have to explicitly copy the contents into memory to be able to unmount while running live [14:32] cajun, what file system is the one that's being automounted? [14:32] Middleman: May already be mounted mount [14:32] cajun, that one I am not sure of...i might have to actually see what is going on with your system to give a decent answer :) [14:32] Middleman: i believe there's a command to do so, but I don't at all remember what it is... ram something or something ram [14:33] Middleman: mount #See if it's mounted [14:33] arathald, hmm, from what i found googling its some think like 3.4.5 this explains alot [14:33] Middleman: toram seems to be what you're looking for [14:33] Middleman: Is it a data CD ? [14:33] coz, pedlar: woops. I apologize, that partition is Fat32. [14:34] its a live ubuntu cd [14:34] im trying to umount it [14:34] arathald, the people in my class wont be happy i deducted so many points for link errors xD [14:34] lanoxx-: ok, i can help you out a little bit; is mingw installed to C: ? === JShortland is now known as cochise [14:34] cajun, that's why. it's not a secure filesystem [14:34] arathald; ok thats what i was thinking too thanks [14:34] cajun, vs ntfs and ext4 etc [14:35] hello! [14:35] cajun, which is also why your usb automounts because it uses vfat [14:35] ah ok. that makes sense. I use that partition for extra storage only. shall I format it to another one? I need it to be compatible with ubuntu and XP. [14:35] hi [14:35] i have ubuntu 9.10 and lg laptop [14:36] cajun, well in windows you can convert it to ntfs convert fs ntfs ? google convert fat32 to ntfs, it's on the microsoft web site, and you won't loose your files [14:36] I'm having trouble, there are two .zip files that I can't unzip, apparantly I'm meant to merge them together or something, when I unzip them I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/397263/ any ideas?

[14:43] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [14:43] vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.2-1ubuntu2.1) but it is not going to be installed [14:43] Depends: libx264-67 (>= 1:0.svn20090502) but it is not installable [14:43] Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse (= 1.0.2-1ubuntu2.1) but it is not going to be installed [14:43] dante123: if it happened during Ubuntu bootup, it would be in dmesg somewhere. If it was during BIOS setup, it's not something we can catch. [14:43] outybuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:43] coz Oh ok. so that's what those instructions meant. I was confused. [14:43] nope oin fact started software center and it still said that even before I started downloading anything... [14:43] it is not in bios setup, it was after grub gives menu list of os, and I select ubuntu..... [14:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/397283/ [14:43] outybuntu: copy the output of "apt-cache policy vlc" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the created page here. [14:43] rww [14:43] coz_, using the tab sure beats remembering which command alerts the recipient. [14:43] cajun, yeah its difficutlt to keep track of who is talking to whom without nick complettion [14:43] cajun, :) [14:44] dante123: then it should be in dmesg =\ [14:44] nothing! [14:44] do i type that in.....dmesg =\ [14:44] in terminal rww [14:44] Hello. I have a .pdf file that was converted to pdf from a .ppt file(which I can't find). The pdf file has in one page one slide, is there a way-program to convert the pdf so there are 2 slides in one page or so? I searched google but the only find info on how to merge multiple .pdf files ... Than you [14:44] coz_, someone should fix the bot so the instructions are more clear for newbies. [14:44] cajun, i also have xchat alert me with a sound if I am not looking at the screen..something I used to hate but found useful especially on support days :) [14:45] dante123: no, I just had you type in "dmesg | less", that's what i mean [14:45] okay... [14:45] cajun: If you have a suggestion, I can send it to the appropriate people for you :) [14:45] knkbkbb [14:45] cajun, well sometimes..as in this channel ..there are so many of the bot offerings I cant keep track of them myself [14:45] sorry, this is new to me....rww [14:45] evud: just print the pdf to a pdf printer and choose 2sides-on-one-side [14:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/397285/ [14:46] coz_, i hear ya. it's hard for me to keep track myself sometimes. [14:46] hi [14:46] oh it must have carried over from another session...hmm weird [14:47] and the manual terminal thing won't install it :( [14:47] i'm working on a script and i would like to do a scp connexion and i need to specify the password in the same line [14:47] rww, the tab instructions weren't clear enough. they just confused me. if someone could just add that you start typing the nick then hit tab, the nick is completed and alerts the recipient that they have a msg. something along those lines would help. i really had no idea what the bot was trying to tell me. [14:47] any idea how can i do it? [14:47] finally one [14:47] gardar, ok, now what? [14:47] if i write grep "*cvraw*" it searches current folder and all subfolders with files containing cvraw as either individual word or as part of a longer word right? [14:47] bluds if you set up ssh properly you can copy your credentials over and not need a password. [14:48] coz_, paranoid_pedlar : thank you so much for you help. have a great day. [14:48] iceroot: oopss :S why haven't I thoght about this? xpdf doesn't have such an option but seems Okular does. Thank you very much :) [14:48] one other thing rww, ocasionally i get a "flash" or a 1-2 sec freeze....seems video related. I uninstalled the nvidia driver......but wondering if I should use earlier version rather than the latest. Had issues with latest nvidia drivers under windows....but going to previous version resolved my problems.....is there any nvidia driver to avoid? Choices are 173 and 93 i think... [14:48] search for your message armor-64 [14:48] cajun, no problem [14:48] i have a solution to my problem from yesterday (2010/03/17 @ 20:17 GMT) regarding "unable to authenticate user" & gdm-session-work segfault -->> missing /dev/random & /dev/urandom. recreated these and restart gdm. problem solved. i'm posting this here so it makes it's way into the IRC logs [14:48] dante123: I don't have an nvidia card, so I don't know anything about them, sorry.

[15:32] llutz: ive tried with http link [15:32] Hello. Need help on usb-creator-gtk, to be precise, what kind of filesystem does it format the device to? [15:32] MrPiracy: flashplugin-nonfree is, the 64bit plugin isnt but is simple to install [15:32] i applied a icon theme, but my folders icon are not changing in gnaome?? why?? [15:32] Guys, what do i do with that? http://pastebin.com/HCv3bthy [15:32] leleobhz then i have no idea why it doesn't work for you. [15:32] theadmin: ext2 i believe [15:32] ActionParsnip: Woah that's old. [15:32] llutz: even me. and i cant find help for thunderbird [15:32] theadmin: it has no journal so makes the device last longer [15:33] mozilla KB heres give to me a timeout [15:33] theadmin: its not old by any way, its very usable [15:33] ActionParsnip: "Journal"? [15:33] theadmin: i think you should research what ext2/3 and 4 are before slinging words like "old" around [15:34] theadmin: annd why its a good idea to use ext2 on usb devices [15:34] i need to change my folder icons, now it looks like crap, pls somebody help me [15:34] anybody know how I can permanently disable the Firewire port, the NIC port, wireless, and SD cart ports in ubuntu?? [15:34] ActionParsnip: Well, i mean, heck, 2 is less then 4, and i think of those numbers as version numbers [15:34] ActionParsnip: installed nonfree and nothing changed, needs a reboot? [15:34] theadmin: kinda yes, but if you look at the differences between you will see why ity is still very used [15:34] ActionParsnip: so I need two usb drives or can I just mnt the live cd in a vbox and install to the USB drive from there? [15:35] MrPiracy: no, you only really need to reboot to change kernel [15:35] What about ext1? lol does such thing exist? [15:35] epaphus: Use: sudo lshw to get a more detailed list than lsmod of what exact hardware uses what driver. Then use blacklisting as I explained already earlier to you [15:35] sanguisdex: if you want you can use tools etc to put the liveCD on the usb and boot from that [15:35] !blacklist | epaphus [15:35] epaphus: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [15:35] I'm experiencing some weird lockups on my system.. using ext4 on a SSD for system disk.. nothing interesting in the logs.. just hard lockups.. and always when I'm doing file related stuff.. moving big files around, copying big files... is the fact that it happens when I'm doing things with large files just what finally pushes it over the edge? any hints on what parts I should start banging on to see if they fall off? [15:35] theadmin: not sure === jon is now known as Guest19938 [15:36] genii, sorry didnt see it. thanks [15:36] theadmin: ext1 was simply called "ext" [15:36] ActionParsnip: then where do i get the other one? === Guest19938 is now known as yon [15:36] theadmin: i suggest you read the links here: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=73687 [15:36] can someone help me?

[16:14] what is ssh? [16:14] pulse00: there is no firewall by default [16:14] bigtom21485: secure shell [16:14] bigtom21485: a way to connect to a terminal session on a remote computer [16:14] Vroomfondle, thanks [16:14] does anyone have an idea of how to user rename.ul to make every first letter in a word upper case (in filenames where all letters a lower case) [16:14] pulse00: Is the ssh server installed? [16:14] how secure is it? [16:14] Pici. on the server i want to connect to ? [16:14] bigtom21485: very [16:15] pulse00: Yes. [16:15] thatd be great i could get to my desktop in va from my laptop in florida [16:15] Pici, yes. i can connect to it from my local machine [16:15] bigtom21485: depends on how you secure it [16:15] How do I set the path for an individual command? I have a game in the gnome applications dropdown but when I launch it seems to look for files in the directory it was on-execute rather than the game directory. [16:15] how to install E16 gnome? [16:15] it's weird, because i can connect to other servers from my ubuntu server fine, i get a connection refused just for that one. [16:16] pulse00: Sorry, I misread the question. Are the two servers on the same local network? [16:16] Pici, no [16:16] i have a problem...i installed frostwire, and when i run it from ubuntu's applications menu, nothing happens...but all the files are in the filesystem, however ubuntu's software center doesnt seem to know its installed. what do i do? [16:16] pulse00: Do you have port 22 forwarded on the router on the remote side? [16:17] does anyone know what porcess routinely checks the perms of /var/spool/mail/root and makes sure they are 600 ? [16:17] Pici, not sure, would need to ask the admin. but i guess yes, because i can connect to it from my local machine just fine [16:17] how do i rerun DKMS? [16:17] what is DKMS? [16:18] dkms - Dynamic Kernel Module Support [16:18] is there any way to change my wlan interface from ra0 to wlan0? [16:18] bcurtiswx: do you know what module needs to be installed? [16:18] pulse00: Are your local machine and the server that you're trying to ssh from on the same network? Its possible that the remote server's admin is filtering the ip addresses that can connect. [16:18] what does that do? [16:18] *DopeGhoti: what does DKMS do? [16:18] DopeGhoti: I removed the xorg-driver-fglrx driver for the xserver-xorg-video-ati [16:19] Pici, i asked the admin already, he says there's no filtering going on from his side [16:19] bigtom21485: It adds support to the kernel for certain devices and functions, like nvidia video cards, or VirtualBox support [16:19] bigtom21485: from the manual: dkms is a framework which allows kernel modules to be dynamically built for each kernel on your system in a simplified and organized fashion. [16:19] hi [16:20] pulse00: You can try running ssh with -vvv to grab some debugging messages. [16:20] i am trying to duel boot between windows 7 and ubuntu [16:20] hi [16:20] DopeGhoti: do I need to do DKMS for that? [16:20] when i try to boot i get a grub error 15 [16:20] so its a better way to write the code for a kernel...thats what youre saying [16:20] sorry im new to linux [16:20] me too lol [16:20] Hi. I would like to know how secure Ubuntu One is??? [16:21] its pretty hard to get used that you are not root ;) [16:21] bcurtiswx: I don't know if the ATI driver uses DKMS or not.. If it does, you could try 'dkms install ati' [16:21] How safe are the files that are stored on it? [16:21] xiven1: You'd probably get a better answer in #ubuntuone, though you can certainly ask here also :) [16:21] hello?? [16:21] hi [16:21] Ohh.. ok [16:21] Hi.

[17:04] it doesn't work, I get "invalid UID "U"" [17:04] encompass grup2 uses a very different set up, you have to find a completely different file, update it and the use grub-update which makes it on the correct one [17:04] gerhard: Try -u newuid -U user [17:04] sure Hoodstar, go and get a 10 hatchet, and...oh, wait. [17:04] Hoodstar: Computers can't be magically "hacked" [17:05] _IF_ the other end is insecure, then with skill, you can hack into it [17:05] so then do I just d/l and install the i386 one? [17:05] encompass: there are detailed instructions if you google for them [17:05] erUSUL , i have some folders and files i want to delete it but my permissions are denied [17:05] Fahad [17:05] I know [17:05] I get the error "usermod: /etc/passwd could not be locked; try again later" [17:05] fahadsadah: everything is insecure. [17:05] erUSUL , can you help me [17:05] adobe reader is your friend :p [17:05] MrDusty: usually in laptops the modem is integrated in the sound chip but should show up in lspci anyway. you are sure the lap has a modem ? maybe it is disabled in BIOS or something? [17:05] Hoodstar, why you want to hack it :P [17:05] fly2left [17:05] Yehia: which folders? [17:05] Its my dads :) [17:05] I'm only logged in under the "gerhard" account right now, which I gave admin privileges earlier.

[17:05] erUSUL: it has a modem it has a rj-11 port on the side my cable goes into it [17:05] Hoodstar: this channel will not help you in cracking into a computer. === micheal is now known as Msquared86 [17:06] Myrtti [17:06] wich channel will [17:06] erUSUL, how can i paste the pic for you [17:06] youtube will [17:06] i can't save files to anywhere but my home directory unless i am root, what do i have to do to be able to save as a regular user? [17:06] Hoodstar: rule of thumb, if you want to be good at hacking, or cracking (which is what you're referring to), you will probably need to learn a lot of it yourself. also, if you're looking to do something less than legitimate, no one here will help you, nor will we point you towards anyone who might [17:06] Hoodstar: none on this network. it's against the network policy [17:06] !screenshots | Yehia [17:06] Yehia: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button.

[17:08] hello, can I remove the "clean up by name" feature from the nautilus contect menu? [17:08] Yehia: yes but whaere are those files located? and how did they get there? [17:08] I clcik on it accidently, which I hate to do [17:09] i can't save files to anywhere but my home/user (and just there, not home/user/random) directory, what group do i have to add my user in to be able to save to another directory? [17:09] bscape: change the permissions of the file/folder you want to write to [17:09] +o erUSUL [17:09] bscape: it depends on the directory [17:10] does b43-fwcutter need anything else to make it work or should it be able to start the broadcom card on it's own [17:10] bscape, well you could do it the easy way from terminal sudo nautilus then just drag your files where you want [17:10] meganerd: it's home/user/school [17:10] eirann: you have to reload the driver [17:10] how do i do that [17:10] bscape, or if you have a specific file sudo mv nameoffile nameofdirectory [17:10] eirann: sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 [17:10] eirann: what card do you have? fwcutter is just the extractor for the windows driver, if i recall [17:10] bscape: is that school directory in your home directory or someone else's? [17:11] meganerd: it's in my home directory [17:11] arathald: no it extracts the firmware for the card so the linux driver can use it [17:11] hang on i do lspci i 4get now [17:11] erUSUL : because i cant go directly to those folders i searched for it in the file system - and those folders got there because i installed Application called Rivendell [17:11] Yehia: just uninstall that app [17:11] coz_: i'm actually in ubuntu server so X11 and a basic window manager (ion3), don't know if that affects my permissions [17:11] erUSUL: thats what i meant.... more or less.... i stopped using it a while ago, so i dont remember the details of it [17:11] bcm4311 === [1]Pantcho is now known as Pantcho [17:11] erUSUL , i did and they are still exist - thats why i came here to ask you === Pantcho is now known as pantcho [17:12] bscape, ah I see,,, mmm I might not be able to help with that then [17:12] i've been using mv to get the files to my school directory, but i feel like there should be a more.. direct.. way to do that [17:12] erUSUL: so how do i compile the kernel to access the ubuntu system? [17:12] Yehia: how did you removed the app ? [17:12] i'm installing this for the first time, any ideas/ [17:12] ? [17:12] but i didn't have to do all that 1st time round but i'll try it thanx [17:12] hey guys, I'm trying to get to my mediawiki page at http://localhost/mediawiki but it always gives me a cherrypy error [17:12] hi, can anyone help me with this error? http://pastebin.com/uq6bg4J2 [17:12] pantcho: use the ubuntu config as base [17:13] DopeGhoti: it seems debian people like collectively jumping on anything vaguely smelling of ubuntu and throwing it out the channel [17:13] erUSUL: i did copy it the old config.. never mind [17:13] bscape: what are the permissions of that folder? [17:13] can i change resolv.conf to NOT be auto-defined by network manager? [17:13] tbrock: the detailed error info? [17:13] meganerd: i don't know, how do i check? [17:13] pantcho: and you did "make oldconfig" ? [17:13] ls -l [17:13] erUSUL no.. [17:13] bscape: ls -l [17:14] fly2left: Page handler: "The path '/mediawiki' was not found." [17:14] is the gist of it [17:14] bscape: or right click, properties, permissions [17:14] meganerd: root root [17:14] erUSUL: but before compliation a .config file should be present so i copied the old config file [17:14] erUSUL: i done " sudo modprobe" now should i remove the STA driver [17:14] Anyone think he/she can help me with my apt-get/dpkg problem? https://gist.github.com/324b803a1c96e8693724 [17:14] meganerd: -rw-r--r-- [17:14] bscape: OK weird, that folder is owned by root, how did you create it? [17:14] arathald: my card is b4311 [17:14] meganerd: mkdir as root [17:14] pantcho: yes you do cp /boot/config-whatever .config then you do make oldconfig then make etc [17:14] trying to print PDF document to a HPLaserjet 5MP printer served on Windows server. Seems to print most things fine, but with PDFs its failing. Getting a Connection failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error in cups error log. Anyone got any ideas? [17:15] eirann: well you have to use one or the other [17:15] meganerd: i'm guessing that's the issue... how do i change permission to bscape? [17:15] bscape: OH, that makes sense then, as root chown -R youruser:yourgroup ~/school [17:15] eirann: i think thats one of the ones supported by the official broadcom driver... have you looked at that? it works rather well for me [17:15] erUSUL , sudo apt-get remove rivendell [17:15] maybe you need add " ... " into the httpd.conf [17:15] bscape: sudo works well [17:15] arthur: do you mean by official the sta? [17:15] .join #ubuntu-beginners [17:16] bscape: whatever user you are when you create files/folders usually gets the ownership of that file/folder by default [17:16] Yehia: do this « sudo aptitude install rivendell && sudo aptitude purge rivendell » [17:16] meganerd: ah! that makes a lot of sense, thanks :D [17:16] bscape: the -R in the previous command will run it recusrsively on all files under that directory [17:16] I have a question about Wireshark on Ubuntu, is this the right place to ask or is there somewhere else? [17:16] Industrial, not nem but maybe there https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingInstallationIssues#Exec%20format%20error [17:16] fly2left: where is that guy located again [17:16] /etc/apache? [17:16] arathald: that was ment for you , did you mean the STA [17:17] emghazal: depends on the question [17:17] hi i need help cant boot ubuntu 9.10 got error "target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init No init found try passing init = bootarg." any advice ? [17:17] eirann: yes, I believe so [17:17] Sioux, might as well reinstall Ubuntu than try and recover [17:17] frikinz: thanks, exactly what happened! [17:18] what u mean reinstall? delete everything i got and install it again? [17:18] tbrock: if ubuntu, in anywhare of apache.conf, and if fedora, in anywhere of httpd.conf [17:18] arathald: yes it works fine but i remember from last time it doesn't support injection [17:18] Industrial, I have not real the whole thread here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/512096 but it looks like it was corrected in dpkg 7 days ago. not sure if it's uploaded yet. anyway, you'll have to manually fix yours now [17:18] can the "clean up by name" feature be removed from the nautilus context menu? [17:18] can anyone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/uq6bg4J2 [17:19] im currently using a vps and command line [17:19] guys, i'm having a problem with Pidgin. Suddenly today, my gtalk id is not working. I'm getting an error message like, "not authorised". i'm able to access my gtalk account from gmail. any clue? [17:19] i recently upgraded to karmic from jaunty :/ [17:19] anyone facing similar error? [17:19] Is it possible to set up 4 monitors using an nvidia and an ati card? Or do I need to get matching cards? [17:19] Sioux-33 init is the base process, its the core that starts everything else, it may be possible to perform a recovery but reinstalling ubuntu will safe time and effort [17:19] Well, when I run Wireshark normally, there are no interfaces to capture. If I use sudo, Wireshark warns me that it's dangerous, but the interfaces appear. So, is there a way to make it work without sudo, or should I just ignore the warning? [17:19] *save [17:19] * genii ponders "fstab.sys" [17:20] erUSUL, i did but i got this still http://imagebin.org/89396 [17:20] emghazal: running anything as root is dangerous, but without root permissions you do not have access to the devices directly [17:20] u are asking me to delete all data and then install ubuntu again right? [17:20] emghazal: you should use gksudo, and just ignore the warning. [17:20] Yehia: that's normal [17:20] Sioux-33 I am not asking you :) I am only layng down the options for you, at the end of the day you decide what to do [17:21] erUSUL i want to delete them [17:21] erUSUL how can i do it [17:21] emghazal: usually I use sudo to capture data with tcpdump and then open the pcap file in wireshark. Usually the machine I am capturing data from is not my laptop. But yes if you want to use wireshark use sudo/gksudo [17:21] meganerd: Okay, that makes sense. Thanks. [17:21] How can I get a full list of the valid boot entries I could feed to grub-install? [17:21] eirann: ah, fair enough, continue then (Ive had good luck with the stl driver, so it's usually my recommendation provided there isn't a good reason otherwise, like yours) [17:21] frikinz: aaand its fixed! DopeGhoti, frikinz; thanks for your time \o/ [17:21] erUSUL: now did i compiled the kernel wrong, if i use make oldconfig does it mean when i do "make" it will recompile the whole kernel again (a thing that takes 3 - 4 hours in my vmware) ? [17:21] there is nothing lost i think that its somthing to do with windows and mbr ubuntu can find sbin/init so the solution is to show the ubuntu where /sbin/init is but i dont knpow how to do that [17:21] emghazal: opening a pcap file does not require root privs btw [17:22] I was on the verge of reinstalling the OS (since I just installed in the first place 5 mins a go anyway) [17:22] Yehia: sudo find / -iname '*rivendell*' -exec rm -r '{}' \; [17:22] Sioux-33, ahh now I see. Well, have you tried grub-update? [17:22] how solve vga problem [17:22] speaking of which, wl got removed when i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10... luckily it takes all of 3 minutes to install [17:23] pantcho: well it will recompile what it needs depending on how the config changed [17:23] Industrial, while it's sometimes needed for windows, it is never required for gnu/linux to reinstall.. well, as long as you know how the system works [17:23] oi [17:23] well it was the easy solution :p [17:23] Ah, perhaps /boot/grub/device.map [17:23] guys, i'm having a problem with Pidgin. Suddenly today, my gtalk id is not working. I'm getting an error message like, "not authorised". i'm able to access my gtalk account from gmail. any clue? [17:24] frikinz: it is sometimes easier than the alternative, for example, if you happen to remove / [17:24] hey, im trying to set up a vpn server and i don't know what is going wrong...i've asked in #ubuntu-server but theres no one ther or replying [17:24] erUSUL, is it the command which i need to type it in a terminal ? [17:24] erUSUL: the goal of what i need to do is change a source code in /net/core/... file and recompile the kernel and let the system look and behave THE SAME as before with just few source code line changes.. [17:24] frikinz: or delete your kernel [17:24] Yehia: yes [17:24] vishual effects not workink [17:24] I'm setting up a computer for a friend and I would like to come up with something so that this person doesn't have to worry about removing his old kernels. Is something like that possible? [17:24] !details| adhil [17:24] adhil: 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 ..." [17:24] ok [17:24] erUSUL, i did it but it gave me this ( ~$ sudo find / -iname '*rivendell*' -exec rm -r '{}' \; [17:24] find: `/var/lib/mysql/Rivendell': No such file or directory [17:24] ) [17:25] edbian: he doesnt have to remove them to begin with. their existence doesnt harm anything [17:25] edbian, are you looking to a setup that cleans up old kernels? [17:25] edbian: using ubuntu, the old versions of the kernel don't need to be removed... are you referring to them not showing up in grub after a kernel upgrade? [17:25] edbian: but there's the computer janitor that'll clear up those and more which he can run if he decides he wants more disk space back [17:25] pantcho: ok; everytime you change a source code line or config options you need to recompile. depending on the changes the recompile will take more or less time [17:25] york105, yeah [17:26] iam using ubuntu 9.10 asus k8v mx mother board amd athlon processorwhen iam enable visual effects it isnot working [17:26] I know that they don't do anything but they waste space (both on the harddrive and in the grub menu) [17:26] well, can you answer arathald 's question please [17:26] maco, Does the janitor really clean those up? That is fantastic! [17:26] edbian: believe so [17:27] arathald, one day, I rm -rf / , it removes /bin, /etc, (alphabetically in fact). it stopped in the middle of dev.. I took the list of installed packages in /var and rebuilt the system [17:27] maco, Excellent, thank you! :) Ubuntu is great. [17:27] Yehia: it is ok [17:27] frikinz: right, it's not impossible to do my any means, but it can be difficult, especially for a new user [17:27] *by [17:28] frikinz: the very fact that ive built linux from scratch so many times means i could rebuild pretty much any system thats gotten messed up, but it doesn't mean I want to :D [17:28] iam using ubuntu 9.10 asus k8v mx mother board amd athlon processorwhen iam enable visual effects it isnot working [17:28] hi folks. I just bought a netbook today and want to put the great ubuntu on it. the ISO im downloading is the same size as the normal desktop iso that i have, so whats the difference, Hopefully its streamlined to run smooth as fcuk [17:28] erUSUL: so how do i copy my old config and do a make to it and then the "make" which compiles the kernel? i tried to view back what you wrote but its deleted [17:28] scilab like matlab with simulink [17:29] pantcho: yes you do (in the kernel source dir) "cp /boot/config-whatever .config" then you do "make oldconfig" then "make etc" [17:29] erUSUL thanks [17:29] erUSUL, thanks [17:29] Yehia: no problem [17:29] pantcho: no problem [17:30] is there a chat irc here [17:30] ??? [17:30] hi i need help cant boot ubuntu 9.10 got error "target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init No init found try passing init = bootarg." any advice ? [17:30] malick, you mean just for chatting?

I read somewhere that you could upload photos to Facebook and other online services directly from an application. Maybe F-Spot? F-Spot doesn't seem to have the option to upload to Facebook. Is there any other application which can? [17:33] ubuntu is not working on my friends new i5 laptop though text based installation succeded [17:34] thevishy, the problem may be the graphic card [17:34] arathald, what's syntax that i must write on that file?

[17:39] but sitll it is showing the same problem [17:39] anyone please help me out [17:40] Any ideia if its possible to get the documentation used in the Ubuntu Courses ( like the Supporting Ubuntu course ) ? [17:40] thevishy, seriously tho, I`d think about using lucid, its out next month [17:40] Soni18771, has GUI ever worked before? Have you tried updating graphics drivers ? Try switching to proprietary manufacturer drivers [17:40] Will Digikam work on GNOME? [17:40] ya it was working fine till the evening [17:41] Soni18771, what errors do you get?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:42] arathald: ok i thought it had worked because it said STA driver activated but not in use but i rebooted and ther was no networking at all ( after removing the STA) can anyone tell me how i can check why it's not working anymore? [17:43] anybody have issues in 9.10 where changing screen resolution with nvidia-settings gives a garbled display *sometimes*? the card is a geforce 6200 [17:43] thevishy, recovery is just a standard text based boot, thats odd..... [17:43] if I have two matching dual output video cards and 4 monitors, will the default install see more than two monitors on one card? [17:43] very odd [17:43] enUSUL: i dont understand the logic of compiling so many sources and configuration and in the end the boot image is like 3mb ? [17:43] is there a boot optin I cn give ? [17:43] #eurix [17:43] york105: i updated dpkg also [17:43] Sioux-33 sure, glad it worked out for you, fsck checks disks for errors [17:44] can anyone tell me why i carn't get the b43-fwcutter working when it has in the past?

[17:44] thevishy, xtrem or press CTRL ALT F2 [17:44] Tom22, it should. Yes, it will pull kde librairies. So it might take a bit more room that a gtk app. [17:44] what packages does gparted need to work with all filesystems? [17:44] how can i mount a *.cue/*.bin CD image in Ubuntu. Or what app cab I use to do that ?

[18:03] nightsjammies, VirtualBox runs virtualmachines, you can't just install itunes on it, you have to install a virtualmachine of windows 1st [18:03] can't. Windows won't read anything usb then. It's got to be from the site. [18:03] york105: alright, thank you [18:03] I have the windows. [18:03] nightsjammies, ok [18:04] amikrop np [18:04] marijuana, yes, that's what I have. leave this one and forget about normal updates. as long as the system is fine, why update [18:04] im updating the repositories and the multiverse repo is stuck at 99% [18:04] I just need to find out what happened to my vbox.

[18:06] york105: hmm, EasyTAG has two modes for that: one needs all the songs to be of the same album (not applicable for me) and the other needs the songs of the same album are under a directory whose name contains album info (not applicable for me) [18:07] what would be the command to switch over to lxde when im already booted up into gnome? or do i have to log out? What i want is to be able to use Gnome's features like autoload my wireless, etc, but have lxde as the display manager [18:07] york105: maybe, another tool, more good at guessing/looking up? [18:07] I've done that, didn't work [18:07] ldm [18:07] CalmvsKhaos, replace --metacity [18:07] no no no, sorry\ [18:07] thevishy, not sure on the boot parameter... its a new laptop and that page is describing how to install 9.10 with newer kernel and xorg, so I`d just go with lucid.. [18:07] frikinz: ok, thanks... what is different normal release and long term support release [18:07] metacity --replace [18:07] amikrop :) so i am guessing you've tried it and aren't entirely happy, what is it that you're wanting to do [18:07] eremite, i have a lot of display managers though other than lxde [18:07] right duffydack [18:07] ubottu: thanks, man intro is great [18:07] I've got 3.1.3 firmware.

I think ubuntu wiki explains it or even wikipedia :) probably lts has.. longer support :) dunno sorry [18:08] blacktooth, does it work when you plug a microphone in to the jack? [18:09] !lts | marijuana [18:09] marijuana: 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) [18:09] hmmm metacity --replace doesnt seem to do much, other than stopped Compiz [18:09] marginoferror-- i dint try [18:09] I'd love to not have to mess around with vbox [18:09] york105: my MP3s do not contain any album info (nor their parent directories). I want the software to guess album name just from trackname and artist name [18:09] shortcut keys to restart x-server is what again ? [18:09] blacktooth, you should try if you have an external mic available, that will tell you more about what is wrong. [18:09] backspace [18:09] !cli | erUSUL [18:09] erUSUL: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

But i currently use Karmic, can i enable long term support release? [18:10] i did metacity --replace it took off compiz, how do i get it back? [18:10] marijuana: 10.04 is not yet released. [18:11] compiz --replace [18:11] amikrop , easytag is able to do so, you don't have to have any id3 tags to populate title/artist, it looks up the actual file name, also you can make it query against song info repositories [18:11] i'm having trouble with mplayer audio skipping playing .wmv's, anyone have experience fixing this problem? [18:11] frikinz, you still there? [18:11] bloody hell, headers take awhile to load [18:11] Pici : Oh Ic, so at the 'release upgrade' the best choice is to set normal release? rite? [18:11] the audio in mplayer is tolerable, but "jumpy" [18:12] Tom22, hum yeah. did you ask me something I missed? :) [18:12] luist, does your sound work for everything else? [18:12] amikrop have a look at documentation at http://easytag.sourceforge.net/EasyTAG_Documentation.html#ch_1 [18:12] Hi! I just installed postfix+dovecot+squirrelmail on my apache-webservern. Does anyone know how to add a user to the mail? [18:12] frikinz, nope :P I was just going to say thank you very much for your help! It works fine! :) thanks [18:12] syk, YES [18:12] york105-- http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=SHZZCn2h [18:12] Tom22, cool. digikam is what I prefer to handle my photos [18:13] marijuana: It doesn't matter really if you want the LTS. The next release is an LTS, so no matter which method you choose, thats the one you're going to get. [18:13] blacktooth, the link doesn't work, can you try the paste service at ubuntu.com ? [18:13] frikinz, yeah, but I was surprised that there was no option to open photos with digikam [18:13] york105, querying song info repositories.. interesting.. musicbrainz? does it work? [18:13] frikinz, by right clicking [18:14] thanks much CRAY :) [18:14] frinkinz aye, it does work, i was talking about easytag [18:15] Pici: Ok thanks.. 1 more question. since i migrate from windows, i never do a 'scandisk' and defrag... how to defrag hardisk in ubuntu? do we need to defrag in linux system? [18:15] marijuana: you don't need to defrag. [18:15] Okay, now to see if it works.. [18:15] Tom22, so you say a photo album software can not show your photos? that's annoying.. my photos are on another machine, I can't check [18:15] marijuana ext4 doesn't need defragmenting [18:15] york105, yes yes. I use easytag too, it's good. I'll try that. [18:15] marijuana: been on linux 9 years, never defragged. [18:15] york105: but why? [18:16] york105-- try this.. http://pastebin.com/Z6HMLhhg [18:16] marijuana, someone wanted to auto populate tag info for several files [18:16] marijuana: i think it has to do with the fact that the journals in the filesystem are more effecient [18:16] york105, but the repository server I know is musicbrainz. how is it supposed to detect which song it is (I'm not talking about cds, mp3) [18:16] how do you force grub to update in 9.10? i know there's a update command for grub legacy [18:16] defrag is to manage the files, then the system will run fast rite? === i is now known as Guest73189 [18:16] york105-- sorry i couldnt find paste service at ubuntu.com [18:16] york105, I'm actually looking for something to find covers and put them in the directory [18:16] also [18:16] frikinz, I can get it to show my photos, but via the application, I can't choose to open the photos with Digikam by right clicking if you see what I mean :P [18:17] york105: i currently use ext3 file system [18:17] !grub [18:17] 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. [18:17] marijuana: speed actually depends on a number of things, disk speed, connect type (IDE, SATA) etc.. [18:17] please help me help the rest of the wubi installed karmic users, today there was an update to the kernel and with every other kernel update prior 'ubuntu crashes' , there is a bug in grub2 that only effects wubi installs, the fix is to simple to believe but it works guaranteed, this link provides info on the why's and the fix needing to be done, the fix must be done in windows though, would everyone please assist my brothers in WU [18:17] york105: but it needs the album to be in the filename, or in the parent directory's name [18:17] Trek: upate-grub I think is what you're looking for [18:17] Tom22, mmhhh if you right click on a .jpg and go in properties, it should ask you somewhere which default app to use for opening jpg. [18:17] wjm: does that work with grub 2? [18:17] marijuana ext3 preallocates file space during creation so you don't have chunks all around [18:17] affirmative [18:18] skrite: yeah, u rite.. i think the system files of linux is different between windows [18:18] Trek: it'll update with the kernel choices from /boot [18:18] Grr, I can't get the stupid iso too boot properly on my mac. [18:18] marijuana only comprehensive way to defrag ext3 (if you really really wanted to) is to move data elsewhere and paste it back on to the drive and i am not joking [18:18] !defrag | marijuana more info here [18:18] marijuana more info here: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [18:18] wjm: will it detect any other OS installs on other drives that are connected to the system? [18:19] duffydack, what i find odd is that ubuntu doesnt go to Recovery mode , while a small rescue linux does go to rescue mode ..... [18:19] york105: Oh ic.. that's good.. so we dont have to waste our time to wait for defrag a hard drive rite... haha [18:19] frikinz, Thanks :) I'll try that. I'm off now, take care, and thanks again [18:19] no it will only scan for them in /boot and update the menu.lst with the appropriate info [18:19] wjm: then how can it manually be forced to recognize XP on a secondary drive> [18:19] ? [18:20] york105-- can you see my output? [18:20] wow, it works...o.O [18:20] marijuana exactly, i am not 100% sure about this but ubuntu uses same principle for ntfs, i have a ntfs 1TB drive that's at zero fragmentation because ubuntu uses it all the time [18:20] I have burned five copies with five new downloads of the iso but non of them worked. :( [18:20] Trek: fdisk -l [18:20] find your Windows partition and thus set it up that way [18:20] blacktooth, afraid not, can you use the paste.ubuntu.com service instead? [18:20] york105: marijuana only comprehensive way to defrag ext3 (if you really really wanted to) is to move data elsewhere and paste it back on to the drive and i am not joking... <-- lol i think this way is efficent with below 100GB hardisk... how but if we have a large hardisk like 1 or 2 tera... [18:20] okay, then what gets updated manually? [18:20] what files, wjm? [18:20] thanks ubottu [18:21] so, is there a tool to fetch covers of music albums and put the cover in the directory (and not in its own database like amarok) [18:21] thevishy, is it using a different kernel [18:21] marijuana again in theory ext3 does not need defragmenting [18:21] it is using the default 9.10 kernel which i downloaded in november [18:21] like say 3 upgrades back [18:21] Trek: It's kinda messy to do that read this - http://blogs.koolwal.net/2008/12/28/windows-xpvista-dual-boot-does-not-boot-from-grub2-or-grub-pc/ [18:21] 2.6.31.14 [18:22] hey guys. which player is the best to play dvd in ubuntu?

[18:22] Trek: as a rule, I personally don't mix linux/windows just because it can get mess [18:22] wjm: messy is fine, Ubu's already messed enough upon install, I had to do chmod recursively on everything in my /home/ folder in order to edit .bashrc and others without using sudo [18:22] duffydack, it is using older 2.6.29 [18:22] Hei there.

[18:52] not sure how to check the input levels but the video works fine, however I HAVE NO SOUND [18:53] caps an accident [18:53] BromaxSux: how do i activate the terminal from the live cd? [18:53] sure is, skumbag! [18:53] nilsma: did the install actually install anything? You might need an explicit pathname to get python3. Poke around in /usr/bin ... [18:53] I can't wait for 10.04 in April [18:53] ok, i think what i actually need help for is to redirect the shortcut in applications from IDLE to python3 ... :) [18:54] okay, umm..so how do I use rhythmbox to sync with my itouch? [18:54] ddole: applications->accessories->terminal [18:54] synaptic is ubuntu's default auto-patcher right? [18:54] Hi all i wish to recompile my kernel after i have updated a few lines in one of the source codes. first i extract the linux source to a directory, copied the old config then these steps: "make oldconfig" "make install" "make modules_install" "make", then copied bzimage to the boot, are these steps OK? or i have left something. thanks [18:54] ogelami: kind of. Synaptic is a gui front end to the packaging system. There are other front-ends, but synaptic is a good one... [18:55] york105: yes, since i migrate to linux, i always create 3 partitions. root, home, and swap area. but a few weeks ago, people in here say to me i dont need a swap area, it if enaugh if we got a large ram.. what you think? [18:55] i can;t start ubuntu, i need to run terminal from the boot sequence [18:55] Losha whats for CLI? [18:55] nilsma: sorry, never heard of IDLE... [18:55] york105: yes, since i migrate to linux, i always create 3 partitions. root, home, and swap area. but a few weeks ago, people in here say to me i dont need a swap area, it if enaugh if we got a large ram.. what you think? [18:55] ogelami: apt-get and family, or aptitude, which does most everything you need. man aptitude... [18:55] ddole: your computer cant boot a cd ? [18:55] markd25: I can confirm the WIn7 - no OS found issue [18:55] "IDLE Integrated Development Environment (Python)" [18:56] but nvm, ill figure this one out by myself i hope :) [18:56] it boots the live cd for few seconds, then stops [18:56] @tankdriver ah so its nothing to worry about [18:56] marijuana, yes that's partly right, if you have enough ram you will almost never use your swap partition, but to be on the safe side, say you open a lot of memory hungry apps, you don't want to run out of ram do you? its better to have some contingency swap than have none at all, i'd say 1gb of swap is enough === fernando is now known as Guest74072 [18:56] hello, how can I share my internet connection with wireless devices using NetworkManager ? [18:57] york105: i agree with you.. [18:57] york105: do you know about preload? [18:57] hi! I have very big problem. Cannot copy to any mounted device (windows partiton,external drives, pendrives, etc). All copying stops after first 64 kb. Cannot find any answer in google or forums. do you have any ideas? [18:57] the other reason to have swap is you need it to hibernate [18:57] marijuana, preloading what? [18:57] i do the "try ubuntu without any charge to your computer" it loads and stays [18:58] marijuana psusi has a valid point :) [18:58] ddole: you should let it load then, it occasionally stops like that [18:58] ddole: it took 3 minutes for it to load on older computers [18:58] ddole: and even longer on even older computers [18:58] marijuana: you can either monitor swap usage, or live with the fact that if ever you do run out of swap, applications will just crash... [18:59] york105: a utility named preload. it will load our app into memory even we dont use that app at that time.. but once will try to launch the appz like firefox, it will open fast [18:59] jacek_: what command are you using to copy? [18:59] how do I make my rhythmbox find the rd/dvdroms? [18:59] hello, how to reinstall nautilus correctly? [18:59] cd [18:59] how can i see if it doesn't do anything? [18:59] marijuana, i know of the utility, haven't tried it myself [19:00] york105: i think it function like a system cache... like robson technology running with intel cpu [19:00] hi, is there already tool to check fragmentation on EXT4? [19:00] york105, yay! [19:00] ddole: just let it run, don't do anything to it, wait maybe 30 minutes, if it doesn't load, then your system's hardware might be an issue [19:00] I guess I did forget it ;) [19:00] :P [19:00] isolat3sh33p: Not so fast. Did something break? [19:00] darmster :D [19:00] any copying stops after first 64kb of data. 'cp' and gnome gui...

[19:01] ddole: opentium? you mean pentium 4, right? [19:01] Losha, yeah. Makes me reinstall ubuntu in another partition. Now, same thing happen. I carelessly installed nautilus-elementary. Now I want old nautilus back. :( [19:01] is someone using online defragmention on ext4? [19:02] Hi all i wish to recompile my kernel after i have updated a few lines in one of the source codes. first i extract the linux source to a directory, copied the old config then these steps: "make oldconfig" "make install" "make modules_install" "make", then copied bzimage to the boot, are these steps OK? or i have left something. thanks [19:02] how can i boot in text mode and get a feedback from it? [19:02] isolat3sh33p: it's just a guess, but have you tried: apt-get install --reinstall nautilus ? Or do it via synaptic... [19:03] nobody knows ? x_x [19:03] Losha, not yet. After the previous incident, I'm trying to be more careful. Is it fine to reinstall it like that? [19:03] marijuana, installed preload, it works silently in the background [19:03] ddole: trust me, just LET IT LOAD! if it stays in one spot for 15 minutes or so, then you have an issue [19:03] marijuana, there's a config file though [19:04] how do you u know if the version u have from a package come from the repositories our you installed form the outside? [19:04] pantcho: You need to tell grub about the new kernel. Keep backups of any file you edit and make sure the old kernel is still available in case the new one won't boot or something is wrong with it.

[20:09] ill look it up thanks nocturnus [20:09] sascha_, because lamp is not a desktop app nor meant for beginners [20:09] hey my hosting provider only offers ubuntu 8.04 LTS, is it possible to do a post install upgrade to ubuntu 9.10? [20:09] !lamp | sascha_ look here for a guide on Lamp [20:09] sascha_ look here for a guide on Lamp: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:10] Slade-: yes. upgrade to 9.04, then upgrade to 9.10, there should be "Distribution Upgrade" button in synaptic [20:10] mgj: look here http://vmetc.com/2008/08/06/virtualbox-shared-folders-protocol-error-in-ubuntu-guest/ [20:10] ciao [20:10] !list [20:10] 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 » [20:10] Slade: You should be able to do a dist upgrade via command line. [20:10] Slade-, I don't recommend upgrading though, just do a clean install and back up the data you need first [20:10] Slade-, no, you have to update to 8.10 + 9.04 first [20:10] Trek: i can't clean install they wont install anything except 8.04 [20:10] My Install button on Graphic Installer will not work, Anyone know why? It goes to the Desktop without install like "Try Without Install" selection. [20:11] Slade-, what do you mean? [20:11] Slade-, you can't do it yourself? [20:11] Trek: my dedicated server provider [20:11] Slade-, make a /boot partition, slam on that a netboot kernel+initrd and grub of whatever os you want to install [20:11] when I run -u on an archive will it delete fiels inside the archive that have been deleted from the original direcotry, or will it just add files to the archive? [20:11] is there a command line editing program (i'm using ssh, so i need it) [20:11] Slade-, if they provide the server, you have to listen to them, you can't upgrade if they wont let you [20:12] Slade-, requires a remote terminal though to finish the install [20:12] hi question. ubuntu 9.10 i want to update something let say compiz and its just example after update compiz doesn't work properly how can i go back with my update? is there any chance if for example application ver2.14 was updated to 2.15 and the 2.15 doesnt work how to go back to 2.14? ? [20:12] Trek: eh after its installed i can do whatever i want.. its just they dont have 9.1 loaded into their system [20:13] Slade: I would first make sure that you have all your data backed up and your not running any critical production items on the server. Then just ssh to the server and start the upgrade process. [20:14] I have a hard that when connect it when ubuntu wants to boot splash screen disappeared and a lot of lines include ata3.00: status: {drdy err} with many numbers come up and continue . I went to windows and delete all partitions of that hard but my problem exists yet and I can't go to ubuntu [20:14] Slade-, do you have remote access? or do you ssh in? or is it just FTP space? [20:14] Slade: sudo apt-get update then apt-get upgrade then apt-get -d dist-upgrade [20:14] Trek: ssh in [20:14] Slade-, do you have sudo access on this server? [20:14] root access. i think sudos installed [20:15] its centos 5.4 right now.. which is pissing me off which is why i want ubuntu [20:15] Slade-, then you should be able to upgrade, but i don't know how that will work for you, especially if they say "We won't put 9.10 or anything other than what you've got onto the server" [20:15] does anyone know if there is a way to send text messages through my computer, through my iphone? [20:16] ...in ubuntu [20:16] Trek, ussually means this is the standard linux cd in the emulated cd drive , but yeah check your eula before switching the os [20:16] c3l_, what do you mean? remote into your iPhone to send a text? no it cant do that [20:16] How do you get 3D Acceleration on an Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10? [20:16] Slade-: nothing wrong with 8.04. Why do you need to upgrade it? [20:16] Trek, yeah something like that. I should probably go talk to the jailbreak community [20:17] Sir_Konrad, is it not working now? can you type glxinfo | grep DRI in a console? [20:17] c3l_, why would you wanna do that? sounds like a big security risk... [20:17] Losha: i've never used 8.04 first started on 9.1.. i'd be happier if my machines were the same :) [20:17] c3l_ there's no way to do that anyways, even with jailbreak [20:17] they've got debian 5, which i guess is somewhat similar. but.. meh [20:18] hi question. ubuntu 9.10 i want to update something let say compiz and its just example after update compiz doesn't work properly how can i go back with my update? is there any chance if for example application ver2.14 was updated to 2.15 and the 2.15 doesn't work how to go back to 2.14? ? [20:18] Slade-: fair enough, I should have said no compelling *technical* reason [20:18] jaycount, security risk? just going through the usb cable, well im mostly at my computer, and im sending text messages for free to my friends. basically im just lazy and write faster on the pc =) [20:18] acicula: did you tell me how to do it? [20:18] Slade:you have to upgrade to 8.10 first than 9.04 and 9.10 [20:18] i thought you meant remotely via the network, etc [20:18] acicula: can you tell me again, but I don't think my nick alert went off. [20:19] Sir_Konrad, is it not working now? can you type glxinfo | grep DRI in a console? [20:19] Trek - Features of iPhone PC Suite 2.8 : [...]- Chat via SMS! - You can chat with your friends and family via the SMS online on your PC easily.[...] [20:19] ah they use 8.04 cause they have LTS on it [20:19] c3l_, sounds like you found your solution [20:19] Slade-: 3 upgrades, what could possible go wrong...? [20:20] is there a place i can go to get support for a wubi install? [20:20] jaycount, yap, hopefully it runs on ubuntu, or at least through wine [20:20] acicula: I'm rebooting into 9.10. [20:21] just a sec. [20:21] do you know how to change the keyboard shortcuts of the terminal? like setting ^C to C for example? [20:22] guys have a problem with the ubuntu server. apache refuses to load javascript to LAN users but WAN users can load them when they access the server home page [20:22] ny idea why? or is there a specifig permission i need to set for this.

[20:54] LinuxGuy2009: Its like a soft sofa, made of sponge [20:54] install wtf and then try wtf is lsof [20:54] nocturnus: stop with the stupid comments, [20:54] dibs_: I've told you about your language - last warning [20:54] it's a legitimate app [20:54] LinuxGuy2009: try running lsof |grep binary_name , where binary_name is the name of the program you're looking for [20:54] dibs_: I know [20:54] airtonix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/397454/ read it [20:54] then why are you giving me petty greif about it [20:54] nocturnus: I dont know the name of the app im looking for. [20:55] LinuxGuy2009: oh .. [20:55] are we only allowed to speak of ikonia sanctioned apps? [20:55] LinuxGuy2009: well then how do you know what you're looking for? [20:55] dibs_: a.) it's it really the tool to use (man is fine) b.) after I've just asked you to control your langauge, is it wise to push that applicaiton over others [20:55] is their a way to customize mocp in ubuntu? [20:55] LinuxGuy2009: lsof = list open files [20:55] nocturnus: I need something that can embed cover art into an MP4 video. Its not hard. [20:55] datadigger: not only open files [20:56] LinuxGuy2009: i don't know of an app [20:56] LinuxGuy2009: google for a tutorial [20:56] datadigger: How would listing open files help with cover art in an MP4? [20:56] nocturnus: I know. Just trying to make LinuxGuy2009 curious enough to read the man page ;) [20:56] s4aluck, note the "daily" on that ppa. and if i have to start using more than one program to update my software ill go back to using windows. [20:56] nocturnus: What is lsof? [20:56] datadigger: He doesn't seem to be interested in foam sofas. [20:57] nocturnus: last warning about the offtopic comments [20:57] datadigger: Your about worthless too. Please stop trying. [20:57] ikonia: excuse me? [20:57] nocturnus: lsof is nothing to do with sofas - so please stop referncing it to people, [20:57] LinuxGuy2009, did you mean mp4 video or just audio file ? [20:57] ikonia: I was trying to entice him to look it up himself, kind of like datadigger did [20:57] no humor allowed [20:58] nocturnus: just help him, referncing sofa's isn't helpful [20:58] airtonix: no, you will recieve a notice and if you like to upgrade it you have to open the terminal as usual [20:58] That's proposterous I see humour all the time here, its just not as creative as my puns [20:58] airtonix: Yes MP4 video. I already use EasyTag-AAC for aac audio. [20:58] ikonia: I don't think anyone was referencing sofas here ... [20:58] nocturnus: you did - please stop [20:59] s4aluck, and to be honest why should i start having seperate update managers for just one program? counter productive. [20:59] LinuxGuy2009, ok. [20:59] ikonia: I honestly don't know anything about soft spongy sofas [20:59] Hi is this appropriate channel fro questions regarding lucid? [20:59] janjok: #ubuntu+1 is the right channel [20:59] #ubuntu+1 [20:59] ty [21:00] LinuxGuy2009, and you want the cover image to be a part of the mp4 binary ? [21:00] * TTilus likes sofas [21:00] TTilus: stop please [21:00] airtonix: Yeah that would be great. [21:00] ikonia http://pastie.org/876150 you want me to control language, then please make this work for me [21:00] dibs_: control your language if it works or not, but let's check the problem [21:01] airtonix: it's up to you. if you think tha ppa install to you is better than ubuntuzulla do your way [21:01] ikonia deal [21:01] dibs_: it looks like you're 3rd party repo is dead [21:01] Appreciated eh, i have been trying to get help for this for months [21:01] dibs_: I'm assuming packages.freecontrib.org is a 3rd party repo [21:02] ok so how can I remove it? also the NZ repos seem to fail but i caan't see them in my sources dialogue [21:02] LinuxGuy2009, just a long shot here : but have you tried handbrake? [21:02] airtonix: I prefer the ubuntuzilla way that's all [21:02] dibs_: you can use the software sources tool, or just remove them from /etc/apt/sources.list [21:02] I turned it off in sources but it doesn't seem to have worked [21:02] how do I add the debian unstable repository if I'm using ubuntu? [21:02] dibs_: ahh hang on, look in /etc/apt/sources.d (check that path) for individual repo files [21:03] hi all... I cant share folder, it said you might not have pernission to use the network resource. The specified network name is no longer available... I'm running karmic... this is my samba.conf, http://pastebin.com/XRJJrPhS... any clue...?? [21:03] airtonix: Yes I love handbrake its awesome. Ripping all my DVDs with it for the WD TV. Just wish I could embed the cover with it. HandBrake 0.9.4 font do it as far as I have ever seen. [21:03] s4aluck, thats nice but when you are offering help to novices, its generally best to provide methods that conform the standard system of installing and updating software. [21:03] MiShary, please do not spam [21:03] LinuxGuy2009, unfortunate. [21:03] guys [21:03] airtonix: don't do it I mean [21:03] Yes [21:03] where is xorg.conf in Ubuntu 9.10? [21:04] i try to follow this tutorial: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76340 [21:04] I'm having some trouble with a wubi install... I posted on the forums if anyone thinks they might be able to help me could they take a look? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8989319#post8989319 [21:04] airtonix: I am also novice but I prefer that way too [21:04] so, I'm using ubuntu netbook remix and I added a program to the internet panel (facebook in chromium's app mode). I updated the icon, but when I favorite the app, the icon reverts back to the regular app launcher icon === cp is now known as Guest907 [21:04] LinuxGuy2009, i use moovidia and i just assume it keeps the coverart for my movies as a seperate image after grabbing it from some where like imdb...

[21:05] i am gonna reinstall ubuntu but one question. win 7 has a partition called system reserved [21:05] if i remove it will grub know that there is a win 7 installation? [21:06] * infestor ? [21:06] airtonix: Yeah. The WD TV can work that way too, seperate jpg (i hate lossy images) same name as MP4 in the same folder. Would have been a lot cleaner with it embeded though. I scanned all my covers already. [21:06] LinuxGuy2009, maybe ffmpeg can do this ? [21:06] airtonix: hmm I can check. That would be on the command line right? [21:07] glaksmono: which version of virtualbox are you using? it works fine for me with 3.1.4 without editing xorg.conf [21:07] dibs_: check in /etc/apt/sources.d [21:07] I want to install a snapshot of JDK 7 (under ubuntu, obviously) for a program I am writing. Should [21:07] I download a JDK file or a JRE jar file? [21:08] This may be more of a Java question than an Ubuntu question....but if anybody could tell me the difference, that would be great. [21:08] The JDK file is a binary and [21:08] the JRE file is a .jar [21:08] ikonia nothing in sources.d [21:08] charles_b: jdk = java development kit, jre = java runtime environment [21:08] if I want to install some package which is only on debian unstable how do i do that? [21:08] dibs_: can you pastebin ls -la /etc/apt for me please I've not got an ubuntu box to hand at the moment [21:09] Ah [21:09] LinuxGuy2009, found this : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=62723 [21:09] I ought to go with the JDK then. [21:09] charles_b: I don't know - but jdk=jave development kit and jre=jave runtime environment (maybe that helps to decide) [21:09] charles_b: Since you're developing, you probably want the JDK. [21:09] *java [21:09] LinuxGuy2009, check out #8 [21:10] callaghan [21:10] callaghan: i'm using the latest version.. how do you do that? [21:10] charles_b: the jdk helps when you are developing the application, so i suggest you use that one [21:10] charles_b: Why it appears to be a different format than the JRE is somewhat strange - if you've only got a .JAR file, that's not enough to run JAVA, as it requires JAVA. [21:10] agike [21:10] LinuxGuy2009, so it seems that even if you do get the cover image embedded, that only certain players will acknowledge it [21:10] Well, I can download [21:11] salam semua... [21:11] ikonia http://pastie.org/876171 [21:11] thanks [21:11] I can download a "self extracting JDK file" (which is a .bin) or a "self extracting JRE Jar file" (which is a .jar) [21:11] In Kate, when I open the terminal widget, the bottom stretches out to fit the terminal, but no terminal appears. [21:11] callaghan: it's still couldn't be as high resolution as the host OS :( [21:11] Is there a program in ubuntu that works with polar watches? [21:11] airtonix: Right exactly. The WD TV comes with a sample media CD with MP4 videos that show covers on the WD TV. So I know it supports it. But yeah good point. [21:12] I intuitively thought to go with the JDK .bin file, since I'm using the JDK, but I wanted to double check. [21:12] Thanks again. [21:12] glaksmono: i just boot up the vm, give me a sec [21:12] callaghan: alright :) [21:12] Never mind, just needed to install Konsole. [21:12] i dont have sound on my ubuntu, and my windowz system is not detected [21:13] dibs_: not quite what I was expecting, can you pastebin your current sources.list please [21:13] LinuxGuy2009, ok i think the keyword you're looking for to narrow this down is "udta atom" [21:13] LinuxGuy2009, http://www.sharewareguide.net/article/Tip/mpeg-4(mp4)--how-tos.html#mp4howto4 [21:13] airtonix: i think that you are trying to teach the novices the laziest way or the "windows" way to deal with the software for linux, uh? [21:14] airtonix: Trying out AtomicParsley since its already in the repos. Might be what i need. [21:14] ikonia sure gimme a sec [21:14] s4aluck: Please stop. === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [21:15] glaksmono: when you enter fullscreen mode, does the resolution change?

Any ideas? It seems to only like to use its system tray icon and when you tell it to never display, it doesn't give you any notification on new messages. [21:15] LinuxGuy2009, http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/ [21:16] LinuxGuy2009, haha i jus found that [21:16] but the host resolution is 1600 x 1200 [21:16] Anyone here use mupen64plus? [21:16] airtonix: Thank you so much for your help. AtomicParsley is made exactly for what I neeeded. You da man!!! [21:16] glaksmono: you still have a black border in fullscreen mode? [21:16] callaghan: yep === skyred is now known as BeerCloud [21:17] I am trying to get Pidgin to alert me VIA the built in message system or with the system tray icon (flashing). Any ideas? It seems to only like to use its system tray icon and when you tell it to never display, it doesn't give you any notification on new messages. [21:18] switch to empathy [21:18] glaksmono: make sure you have dkms installed so a kernel update doesn't kill your guest additions and reinstall them using sudo sh VBLinuxAdditions-x86.run (or AMD64) [21:18] airtonix: You dont happen to know off hand if jpg compression set at 100% quality is that still technically lossy or is it then lossless? [21:18] hi guys, I have a fileserver running ubuntu thats connected to my TV, but I dont have a keyboard attached to it, so I have to SSH into the box, is there a command that I can run from ssh to start VLC or any media player on the TV? [21:19] LinuxGuy2009, not sure but i dont think so [21:19] glaksmono: if I turn off the additions, i have the exact same behaviour as you describe [21:19] Jon-, there is a plugin for the build in ubuntu notification system in synaptic andi wouldnt use empathy it sucks :P [21:19] airtonix: Ok thats what I figured. Thanks for your great help! [21:19] msandbu: set your DISPLAY variable appropriately and then run vlc === BeerCloud is now known as skyred [21:20] digitalfiz, why is that ? [21:20] hello all my question is i have a ath 5007 wireless card built in my laptop and i bought a netgear wnda3100 usb wireless dongle after a little work i managed to find a river but now how do i enable it [21:21] Hi, I am using ubuntu 9.10 with a 20" screen. I have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf but keep getting 800x600 max resolution. It is capable of 1600x1200 .. I have pasted xorg.conf to http://pastebin.com/T89mccfZ and would appreciate any constructive comments. [21:21] callaghan: so what am i suppose to do to have the dkms installed? i'm new to linux [21:21] so anoying, I don't know WHERE apache is getting www-data for I have changed it in every file in /etc I could find envvars, you name it [21:21] one of the processes is STILL called www-data [21:21] airstrike, just seems like a reattempt at pidgin only not as far along [21:22] glaksmono: open up a terminal and type dkms and press enter, if it is installed no error message will appear :) [21:22] hiexpo, have you read through the wifi docs on the ubuntu wiki? (shortcut enabling drivers in linux involves kernel modules, which are enabled with modprobe module-name) [21:22] xorl, why are you trying to change the username for apache ? [21:22] airtonix: Security reasons. [21:22] callaghan: not installed, i do the sudo apt-get [21:22] airtonix, no i haven't [21:23] It's weird though [21:23] !wifi | hiexpo [21:23] hiexpo: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:23] the core process runs as root, second proces comes up as www-data, third and forth, yeah, they're the user I defined [21:23] but WHY is www-data still being called [21:23] xorl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:23] uhhh, I guess I type too fast for the bot haha === JoeWheele is now known as JoeWheeler [21:24] xorl: just don't press enter to break up a thought [21:24] dibs_: you still there ? [21:24] hiexpo, im not familiar with your particular wifi device, but i can tell you that the easiest way to get it working just to get simple network access would be to use the ndiswrapper method [21:24] xorl: no, you press too often [21:24] guntbert: well that would be the same for most everyone in here :p all my statements were longer than anyone I seen except the bots [21:24] xorl: sorry for the doublette :) [21:25] xorl, see : !enter [21:25] airtonix: ... [21:25] You didn't just see the bot tell me that? [21:25] xorl: anyway, apache shouldn't be running as root... [21:25] jrib: It always starts a core process as root :P then forks off the rest of the processes as the proper user [21:25] xorl: yes, as it should [21:26] problem is, it's forking off as two users... Which is completely not what I am telling it to do and NOT defined anywhere. [21:26] xorl: oh, I thought you were trying to get it to run as root always [21:26] I have checked EVERY config file in /etc/apache2/ for www-data (it doesn't exist anymore) [21:26] I made sure of that. [21:26] yet, somehow one of the first forked processes is run as www-data, that is either a bug or just wrong somehow [21:27] i've a problem in ubuntu [21:27] when i try to open it says [21:27] mount /dev on /root/dev :failed [21:27] mount /proc on /root/proc :failed [21:27] ...... [21:27] and displays a command line [21:27] Ramy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:27] xorl: what are you trying to accomplish? [21:27] jrib: Just as I said, just changing the user and the group of apache for security reasons. [21:27] So people can't guess user/group and try to do nasty stuff or attempt nasty stuff at least. [21:28] I changed User/Group to the specified user I wanted, changed it in envvars to the users I wanted, still, nothing. [21:28] xomas, /etc/apache2/envvars is where that should be set [21:28] callaghan: it's even smaller now, i only have 800x600 max. I installed dkms using sudo apt-get, and reinstalled the VBoxLinuxAddition-86.run [21:28] digitalfiz: already did that. [21:28] xorl: what does "I changed User/Group" mean? [21:28] And I said that,.

[21:32] no [21:32] Trek, chroot. so they can't leave their home directory [21:32] callaghan: no [21:32] anybody has expirience in php 5.3.1 and ubuntu? [21:32] i'm sry [21:33] jrib: Means I forcefully went into the config bypassing envvars and changed it.

[21:33] started apache, like a human [21:33] same issue. [21:33] glaksmono: i take it that you have changed the xorg.conf yourself after installing the guest additions first?

That's it. [21:34] jrib: thanks [21:35] xorl: did you stop apache first? [21:35] Ramy: Are you trying to read a Ubuntu CD? [21:35] jrib: I've made the changes, it doesn't exactly ignore them, it just does it wrong. [21:35] guntbert, I know. but I don't want them to leave that directory. Period. [21:35] jrib: of course i did, i'm not 2 [21:35] callaghan: i haven't edited the xorg.conf, since I couldn't find it.. what i did was that i installed xdms (or whatever it was) that you said, then reinstalled the VBoxAdditions [21:35] jrib: I've been using apache for almost a decade, i've never ONCE encountered this issue. [21:35] Ramy: Are you wanting to install Ubuntu on your PC? [21:35] xorl: being sarcastic doesn't make people helping you enthusiastic about help you... [21:35] no i've installed it [21:35] callaghan: am i suppose to install the VBOx first, then the xdms ? [21:35] jrib: That wasn't sarcasm. [21:35] and i want to restore my data on it [21:36] glaksmono, other way round, dkms then vbox [21:36] xorl: good luck with your issue [21:36] glaksmono: no, dkms first, thats ok, let me check someting [21:36] PyroPhelia: you *can* chroot them - but you would have to provide all binaries, libs,... within the chroot [21:36] Welp, time to hit up the mailing list and wait for the same exact answers. [21:37] airtonix, callaghan: that's exactly what I did [21:38] glaksmono, am i right in assuming you had vbox installed previously before encountering the concept of dkms ? [21:38] airtonix: yes.. [21:39] glaksmono, ok so can i also assume you then uninstalled vbox then immediatly installed dkms without first restarting the system ? [21:39] is there a distribution based on ubuntu that includes the non-free things like proprietary codecs? [21:39] airtonix: i didn't uninstall the vbox first :( [21:39] ...out of the box, that is... [21:39] try to keep it on topic please [21:39] glaksmono, ah ok, because vbox installs kernel modules that dkms will want to handle, i suggest uninstalling vbox and restarting, then after login install dkms then virtualbox [21:39] guntbert, yea I know, that's what I want to do [21:40] also, is there an ubuntu livecd that includes vim? .oO( why on earth did they not include that.......? ) [21:40] airtonix: ok let me try that, how do you uninstall? i forgot lol [21:40] I messed up something with xmodmap, is there anyway to reset my keyboard? :( [21:40] airtonix: are you talking about virtualbox or the guest additions? [21:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/397477/ [21:40] glaksmono, sudo apt-get remove virtualbox (i think its virtualbox) [21:41] callaghan, just virtualbox and the way dkms will handle it [21:41] it says virtualbox is not installed [21:41] airtonix: glaksmono has ubuntu as a guest system [21:41] hey, i was wondering, i'm trying to set up a home router on a 1 GB compact flash card using one of those CF card to IDE converters from eBay, but the size in fdisk -l keeps coming out to 32 MB. i'm pretty sure the CF card is 1 GB (i've had 1 GB of pictures on it before)...what should i be looking at to fix tihs? [21:41] ok [21:41] callaghan, ok, guest additions should be stored as a deb file somewhere in the system waiting for you to mount. [21:42] callaghan, you / glaksmono [21:42] Ganymede: how did you format the flash card? [21:42] PyroPhelia, how are your user logging into the machine? [21:43] Ganymede: did you try writing zeros over the disk first? sometimes partition tables get messed up and the only way to really fix them is to write zeros. [21:43] Trek, according to fdisk -l, it is a FAT16 volume that is greater than 32 MB. [21:43] glaksmono, dpkg -l | grep virtualbox [21:43] Ganymede: you using a CLI interface or a GUI [21:43] Trek, CLI [21:43] glaksmono: one last try: just try to change the size of the virtualbox window, that works for me, the guest additions automatically change the size of the guest... [21:43] Ganymede: and you're unable to reformat the device to take up the full gig? [21:43] lullabud, well i was hoping the dd the entire flash card before writing zeros to it...to see what pictures i can pull out using photorec, before installing linux onto it [21:44] glaksmono, callaghan so you already have the guest additions for ubuntu mounted then ? [21:44] Trek, see above ^^ [21:44] airtonix: it doesn't return anything [21:44] glaksmono: /join #vbox (although it is rather quiet at the moment) [21:44] ok [21:44] datadigger: done [21:45] Ganymede: what's preventing you from running dd to dump the whole card? also, have you tried putting it in a camera or something else to see what size is reported? [21:45] callaghan: so what are you suggesting? :-? [21:45] airtonix: he installed dkms, and then the guest additions again (using sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run from the mounted cd) [21:45] lullabud, dd stops after copying 32 MB because it thinks it's at the end of the card... [21:45] Ganymede: try using dcfldd, it's got additional features that help when disks are messed up. [21:46] lullabud, thanks, i'll look into it [21:46] frinkinz, sftp [21:46] glaksmono: if the guest additions are correctly installed (mouse pointer integration works) then just unmaximize the window and maximize it again, that does the trick for me [21:47] callaghan, ok ( i do remember that guest additions with ubuntu as the guest was not so simple, i do however have virtualboz 3.1 and a 9.10 iso here so i should test it out) [21:47] Hello everyone! [21:48] glaksmono: and make sure that machine/auto resize guest display is checked [21:50] airtonix: yeah me too, vbox 3.1.4, ubuntu 9.10 as a guest, installed dkms, then the additions, works fine for me... [21:50] how can I turn off IPv6 on my ubuntu system? [21:50] Trek, why would you want to ? [21:50] airtonix: my ISPs dont like ipv6, it causes conflicts [21:51] Trek, first guess is that it would involve lots of recompiling [21:51] google.com is the domain name is that what it is called and then its digits are called ip addresses I know that [21:51] but what is the technical name for the address? [21:52] syrius, hostname or fully qualified domain name [21:52] PyroPhelia, a few years ago, you needed to change the home user to /home/user/./ in /etc/password to tell openssh to chroot the user. that's the first step. then ldd is your friend. I used this for full ssh. for sftp _only_ you can look here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/94 [21:52] like what about addresses like ~nightsjam@host-72-174-92-176.grf-mt.client.bresnan.net that might not be the ip in there when you do a lookup [21:52] quick question...how do I share folders/ files between my system and virtualbox? [21:52] syrius, sorry your talking about the ip address ? [21:52] lullabud, i should point out that the OS only sees 32 MB of the CF Card: http://pastebin.com/1mKJ7gj5 should i just ask dcfldd to keep copying past the end of /dev/sda by using a bs and count that have a product greater than 32 MB? [21:52] syrius, that example is just a URI [21:52] no I am talking about the address that when you do a lookup he becomes an ip airtonix [21:53] How do I view my ipod videos on an Ubuntu 9.10? [21:53] z0man, i think totem or banshee have a plugin to let you do this [21:53] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras z0man [21:53] vbox z0man.. [21:53] Or that.. [21:53] is vbox virtualbox? [21:54] z0man, it might not work though if they are DRM encrypted [21:54] aw ok thanks soo much [21:54] nightsjammies, 1) power down the guest 2) edit the settings 3) shared folders 4) add a folder [21:54] ahh...okay. [21:54] I give them a try [21:54] nightsjammies, 1. you may use the built in shared folders feature, 2. you may put it in bridged networking mode and use NFS, SSHFS, CIFS, or something like that [21:54] nightsjammies, 2) edit as in edit the guest settings [21:54] Ganymede: that is interesting... You can try the dclfdd idea, worst that can happen is that it fails again. [21:54] if you don't care about proprietary software you can use the win32 codes on mplayer and put them in /usr/lib/win32 z0man [21:54] I think those codecs only work with mplayer [21:54] but I am not sure [21:55] I have tried them out [21:55] lullabud, disk identifier is of zeros is a bit weird too, usually, the disk identifier is some random string of hex [21:55] it allowed me to play drm protected films [21:55] um, nfs, sshfs, cifs? [21:55] aw ok [21:55] thanks syruis [21:55] decompress them [21:55] I have an issue with one of those terrible bcm43xx drivers... during a live boot of 9.10 on a HP laptop, the restricted hardware manager actually automatically detects it and gives me the option to use it. After installing 9.10, it no longer auto-detects it. I'm guessing the CD has drivers that aren't installed... any ideas on how to use the CD to install the driver? [21:56] blaine00, give output of : lspci | grep broadcom [21:56] blaine00, i mean give output of : lspci -nn | grep broadcom [21:56] PyroPhelia, I just checked on ubuntu karmic, it does not work. it has changed.. [21:56] okay... one moment while I pull it up [21:57] blaine00, also what hp laptop ? [21:57] lullabud, yep, dfcldd without any special options still gives me a 32 MB image dump...maybe i have no choice but to zero out the drive and then hope the OS picks up more than 32 MB? will i be able to "rescan" the drive after zeroing it out? rebooting would be a bit inconvenient now [21:57] Ganymede: i have a usb key here that has the same identifier [21:57] is there any way to make ubuntu not go into suspend when certain apps are running? [21:57] it is a ze2000 [21:58] welcome [21:58] :) [21:58] GKS KATOWICE HOOLIGANS [21:58] Ganymede: what you could do is zero out the first few mb, then try again... [21:58] wladek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:58] Ganymede: or zero out the first 32gb, and then just use that. if it can't see past that it can't write to it, so that data is theoretically safe... though, i can't be sure that's how CF would treat it. [21:58] lullabud, first few megabytes tells the OS how big the sum of the partitions is or something, which is what Linux uses to GUESS the total disk size? === outer_space1 is now known as outer_space [21:59] Ganymede: there is space at the beginning of a disk that describes the partitions and stuff, so yeah, writing zeros to the beginning of the disk can clear up partition problems. [21:59] PyroPhelia, ah yes I forgot it actually needs a patch.. http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/ . As said it worked for me some years ago. Not sure if this is the simplest as you asked. As of today, maybe new methods. [21:59] hej [21:59] LateralForce, yes and no. 1) best way is to create a python script that utilises dbus 2) but... it requires that the program in question already talks to dbus. [22:00] :) [22:00] LateralForce, im not sure it will work but you could try using the gnome-appelt : caffine [22:00] Ganymede: i actually don't think this is a problem that can be solved by writing zeros to the beginning of the disk... but hey, i surely don't know everything, and it's worth a shot. you were going to do it anyway. [22:00] airtonix, ok, thanks ill check it out [22:00] Witam wszystkich [22:00] the lspci command did nothing... was it "sudo lspci -nn | grep broadcom"? [22:00] how did "workspace switcher" take everything I had in the right column, move it to left column, left column to center, and center to right? It somehow switched them all over! [22:00] Ganymede: actually, you could just go ahead and dump zeros over the first 32gb since you already have an image of that disk. [22:00] !info caffeine | LateralForce [22:01] LateralForce: Package caffeine does not exist in karmic [22:01] PyroPhelia, ah http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny no patch needed anymore [22:02] !info Kaffine | LateralForce [22:02] LateralForce: Package Kaffine does not exist in karmic [22:02] o.O [22:02] LateralForce, https://launchpad.net/~caffeine-developers/+archive/ppa [22:02] airtonix, i remember reading something about a script thats run before suspend. maybe i could use it to check for running apps and inhibit suspend [22:03] I actually tried the b43-fwcutter as well... [22:03] i dont have sound on my ubuntu, and my windowz system is not detected [22:03] lullabud, nope...wrote zeroes all over the /dev/sda then did partprobe /dev/sda and it still thinks it's 32 MB... =( [22:03] it is frustrating because the live boot detected it [22:03] Ganymede: what does your digital camera tell you about it? [22:03] anybody tell me how to find out about my graphics card ? [22:04] LateralForce, could do but its messy and requires you to edit stuff as root (so its not really going to be a scalable solution for userland) which is why i suggest you use dbus since you can inhibit suspend, screensaver and all kinds of things without being root or having to continuously poll a program to check for stuff. [22:04] Ganymede: moreover, what does the card say on it? [22:04] blaine00, yes sudo lspic (apologies) [22:04] I've installed all this software and I still cannot see the ipod videos :( [22:04] that is okay [22:04] lullabud, digital camera says it's about 936 MB (back when i used it in my digital camera) and the camera says, "Canon 1 GB" or something on it...i can't look at it now since it's inside the case [22:04] hey there lullabud ! how ya dion today ? [22:04] open irc.labri.u-bordeaux.fr [22:04] I have tried using vbox with xp [22:05] do i need to use itunes? [22:05] lullabud, you think maybe i have to run some hdparm stuff on it and change it's ATA mode or something like that to see the remaining 1 GB? [22:05] it's actually a sandisk [22:05] z0man, are they drm encrypted videos ? [22:05] I'm not sure [22:05] what's up faron [22:05] z0man, you might like to check out floola [22:05] they mp4 [22:05] "lspic" is not found... [22:05] blaine00, lspci [22:06] lullabud, interestingly, it gets detected in dmseg as "SanDisk SDCFB-32", which is indeed a 32 MB compact flash card...but i'm sure this is the same card i've taken 1GB of pictures onto [22:06] "sudo lspci -nn | grep broadcom" does nothing [22:07] lullabud do you know anything about how I can find out info about the graphics card/driver on this system ? [22:07] okay, quick question, where do I find that shared folder in vbox under xp? [22:07] airtonix, is caffeine equivalent to Power Manager Inhibit Applet? [22:07] Ganymede: perhaps you had two cards and they got swapped? perhaps a friend of yours swapped your cf card at a party when they had your camera? [22:07] blaine00, ah ok it wants case sensitive words : sudo lspci -nn | grep Broadcom [22:08] lullabud, i do not own any 32 MB flash cards...and it did say 1 GB on the cover sticker when i put it in...but i suppose i have no choice now but to take a second look... [22:08] faron: sudo lspci lists your devices, your video card would show up in there... [22:08] aww, that was it! [22:08] lullabud, thanks, i'm gonna go try out this CF in my camera now [22:08] faron: honestly i don't use ubuntu in GUI that much, so i'm not the best resource for video drivers. [22:08] BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] [22:08] nightsjammies: VirtualBox Help File, Chapter 4.7, Folder Sharing [22:08] I'll try foola [22:08] thanks :) [22:09] Hi! Download speeds are noticeably slower in Ubuntu than in Windows XP here. Any idea why that might be, and how I could fix it? E.g. Dropbox downloads 2x-3x slower, dowloads using the browser are slower, etc. (If it's relevant, I connect through a pptp vpn all the time.) [22:09] well thanks anyway [22:09] Ganymede: one time i bought a sdhc card and it said class 5, but when i put it in it was a class 3 =/ [22:09] Ganymede: but that was in vietnam... [22:09] lullabud, yep, this CF card came with a canon camera from B&H photo video, i'd be surprised if it was mis-represented in any way [22:10] everyone seems to hate that BCM4318 [22:10] blaine00, ok but the pci id is what we were after : mine looks like : 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01) <<< see the [14e4:4315] [22:10] I don't remember having this problem with Jaunty.

[22:11] [14e4:4318] sorry, chatting from another computer [22:11] blaine00, next thing you should try is the ndiswrapper method : 1) goto the HP website and click on support drivers etc 2) find the page for your exact latptop 3) download the windows xp drivers for the wifi card [22:11] njbair: that would be a good question for #ubuntu-server [22:11] lullabud, thanks. sorry [22:12] Hi, [22:13] I can try that... but is there any reason you could think of as to why it would auto-detect it from the live boot but will no longer detect it now that I have installed it? [22:13] airtonix, thanks alot dude! this is exactly what i need!

Still, it does not keep the 2 spaces set [23:40] eirann: ahhh... you got the .zip from their site? [23:40] Geany uses Scintilla editor, GEdit uses GtkSourceView.
