[00:00] I did add the install arguement [00:00] Typos_King: it's a friend's laptop .. so i really don't know [00:00] Typos_King: does it make any difference ? [00:00] I'm trying to use git-buildpackage to work with an existing package. That existing package uses dpatch, which seems to break git-buildpackage (the patches make it think that i have uncommitted changes). Is there a way I'm supposed to deal with this? [00:01] CVirus: Just make sure not to check a mounted partition. I read that that will ruin things. Maybe it meant to 'fix' and only 'check' But I would find out and make sure [00:01] NewWorld: sure sure [00:01] CVirus: well... I was going to say :), but anyhow, the command to run to check/fix cross-linked files and such, is 'badblocks' and you usually run it as a helper of e2fsck with the -c swich, boot with a live-cd and do a -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/ROOTINSTALLHERE [00:02] i need help setting up postfix [00:02] Typos_King: thanks :-) [00:02] davelu, double check, try "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" (no quotes) again, make sure it tells you it is already installed [00:02] whatisthat [00:02] CVirus: optionally, he/you can install on his system -> sudo smartmontools; which are S.M.A.R.T. information status checker for the HD health [00:03] wooops, I meant -> sudo apt-get install smartmontools; :) [00:03] Typos_King: playin up again?

[00:06] set up your partitions [00:06] it will allow me to manually resize the xp space? [00:06] nomic, how did you install it? [00:06] when installing, yes [00:06] nomic: you mean, installed in a directory in the XP partition? [00:06] when starting a program through cron which has the neccesary files residing in the same directory as the program, do I first have to cd to the directory? cd /path/to/program | python runme.py ? [00:06] no typos_king - side by side [00:07] nomic, if you want to manually resize xp partition, use your LiveCD and go to System - Admin - GParted [00:07] i need someon how has install postfix to help me [00:07] or is it && ? [00:07] *who [00:07] Typos_King: i'd already deleted before i tryied first time, it must have been a window left open with ./config.mk file in, ( yes when i change =n to =y, and try save changes it says update so i press update it says error, if i try to just close it says save changes i enter yes it comes up stop sign [00:07] ah ok daralu -- ty -- please remind me of the partitions I need to set up - swap / and something else [00:07] Using Karmic through Wubi, did an update earlier today and now I'm stuck at sh:grub>; Ubuntu won't boot. I think the update changed grub to a broken beta version. How can I fix this? === thomas_ is now known as whiter [00:08] TimothyA: /path/to/python /path/to/runme.py [00:08] nomic: side by side....

I do a 'manual' on the partitions to install to, :| by default it trires to usethe whole HD space IIRC, I have it on a 10gbs partition, so [00:08] Hi, I need help from someone who knows XFree86 and Xorg [00:08] bastid_raZor: eh...not what I meant :| [00:08] is there a way to make a python script runnable from anywhere (by typing the script name) if I don't have root access the machine? [00:08] /path/to/program contains files that runme.py needs [00:08] i need help from someone who knows postfix [00:08] nomic, after you resize your windows xp you can let the installer to partitionate automatic; you dont NEED a swap partition, it can use space within an existing partition, but it is highly recommended to create a swap partition with ~1GB [00:09] NimbleRabit: change you're PATH env variable? [00:09] I need to be able to do this http://www.runkel-it.de/wacom_tablet_howto-5.html in Xorg.conf [00:09] See section 5.12 [00:09] still can't install thunderbird from cliu [00:09] cd /path/to/program && python runme.py ?

[00:12] can anyone help a complete idiot? my pc won't boot at all, I have a screen asking me to select OS but it isn't recognising any button I press [00:12] anyone knows any tutorial on how to create wanted posters on Gimp? [00:13] d [00:13] darolu, I did that and thunderbird opened and started d-loading old mail' [00:13] eirann: meaning... it might be .... a root owned.... try opening it with a root access...... run 'gksudo' and type ... say.. gedit... and open the file there, in the root'ed Gedit session [00:13] System update broke Ubuntu 9.10, stuck at the grub command line right now; how can I fix the boot sequence? [00:13] Typos_King: do i have to get any tools for it [00:13] Gangrel, ask in #gimp [00:14] Grangel: type 'wanted' blow it up to 144pt and that's it hehe [00:14] I have a problem involving the removal of a folder [00:14] gksudo [00:14] eirann: don't think so.... I edited it with vim, -> sudo vim os/linux/config.mk [00:14] davelu, so it is installed, but it has no symbolic link at any of your $PATH directories, or your $PATH is not loading; in a terminal type "echo $PATH" and see if /usr/bin is listed [00:15] Hi - is there an upstart script for Tomcat (i.e. for a production server)? [00:15] eirann: ohh, gksudo, is just a way to do sudo GUI wise :) [00:15] eirann: should already be installed [00:15] anyone know how to let w3m diaplay image? [00:15] Hello all i am doing a tut, i am on Ubuntu 9.10 and it wants me to find ~/gimp.X.X But i cannot find that in my home, even with hidden files enabled. Can anyone point me to were gimp is stored?

[00:16] boss_mc, got it working, thanks a lot [00:16] How can I remove a folder that has permissions for root? I cannot find this folder or my regular user folder when logged on to root [00:16] tm0, /usr/lib/gimp/ [00:16] Typos_King: yes..but im just wondering how to make it work... [00:16] yoyoyo howdy, wanted to come by and say thank you for the support [00:16] Typos_King: http://pastebin.com/51hmFXBB === Smoking_Man is now known as Puking_Man [00:16] Darolu thank you very much. [00:16] NimbleRabit: Good [00:17] vanishing: IIRC w3m is a console browser,is it not? like lynx [00:17] Also, how do I rename files in the terminal if they don't have extensions? "rename" gives me an error about "strict subs" [00:17] Darolu that doesn't seem to be the right folder. It doesn't contain any brushes or anything. [00:17] Typos_King: yes [00:17] I had installed TeamSpeak Client 3 from the TS website. I tried to run the .run executable, but the folder ended up on my destop. The folder is displayed with a lock, and my user doesn't have permissions to delete it or move it [00:17] NimbleRabit: mv [00:17] NimbleRabit: you can rename an individual file with mv (move the old name to the new one) [00:18] vanishing: soooo.... how much images can you get out of that? and why do you need it? [00:18] NimbleRabit: Though rename should work too... [00:18] well, mv worked so no worries =D [00:18] thanks [00:18] tm0, I think brushes are installed at your home directory [00:18] Typos_King: a lot..or as big as my screen goes...:P [00:18] darolu, yes it is lister [00:18] one thing guys: is there a better video driver for ati radeon 3500 hd series? not sure why but anything graphic on desktop seems to lag [00:18] it's fine when in windows [00:19] ignatiusdown: result of "ls -la ~/Desktop/*.run"? [00:19] Darolu I checked though i cannot find it anywhere there. This is what is confusing me. :/ [00:19] lots of specs , just not sure why it would be slow [00:19] yes, darolu, it is listed [00:19] eirann: well.... maybe try using vim then :), -> sudo vim config.mk; once in press 'i' to enter 'insert' mode, go to the =n change it to =y, to save just press :w; and to exit :q [00:19] Darolu Nevermind, i seem to be blind, or it just likes you. Sorry to waste your time [00:19] davelu, type this in your terminal: "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/thunderbird/./thunderbird /usr/bin/thunderbird" (without quotes) and that should make it work normally [00:19] endasil: I had set it up to run when the .run was on my desktop [00:19] Is there a way to see what pass these chinese people are trying to use when breaking in to my box? [00:20] tm0, yeah computers like me :p [00:20] Typos_King: maybe this will help under file type it says unknown [00:20] Hello [00:20] endasil: I had used sudo sh to install it, after browsing some Ubuntu forum on the topic [00:20] eirann: ..... that shouldn't matter :| [00:20] ignatiusdown: No, I mean can you run that command and give the output? [00:20] histo: how are they coming in? ssh? http? [00:20] Hi all [00:20] Darolu Well stickers does at least ;) [00:20] vanishing: sooo, why do you need it show images? why not just use a GUI browser? [00:21] endasil: one second [00:21] Losha: yeah they are tyring ssh with either root and a few other usernames. They're not getting in though just wondering if the pass they are trying is logged somewhere? [00:21] seyacat: are u ok? [00:21] you guys ever use mac4linux i love it [00:21] Hello again everybody.Looking for advice from our beloved Ubuntu community...I would like to test out this "Greasemonkey" thing.My question is...should I install the much newer version from the Firefox site or,should I install the much older version from Synaptic ? And,just for your info...I'm running Xubuntu 8.04 with Firefox {latest vers} {3.6} [00:21] feels i'm running mac [00:21] ignatiusdown: I get what you're saying. Can you just "ls -la" the folder you're trying to remove? [00:21] Typos_King: its not that i have to work under terminal..its just i want to make it work...not urgent. [00:22] Typos_King: i'm gonna give up for tonight i think, thanx for your patience :) [00:22] Any suggestions here? Just installed vBox last night, Windows XP SP3 and Guest Additions, and its still laggy as hell [00:22] i find the desktop experience a bit slow not sure what would cause that [00:22] Emman [00:22] Typos_King: gonna try that last way you suggested first [00:22] Good day [00:22] ruge: possibly try #vbox for specialized help. [00:22] ruge: what video driver do you have [00:22] faron, it is easier with Synaptic and should be your prefered method; you can install the one you download though, it is already compiled and you only need to run the binary [00:22] eirann: ok [00:22] Love u guy [00:23] histo: i get ssh root attempts all the time.. fail2ban serves me well for ip blocking [00:23] hi folks! [00:23] histo: no, ssh doesn't log passwords. If it did, any sysadmin could learn your password just be looking through their logs, which is in nobody's interests in the long run. You'd need a specially hacked version of sshd. If you can, move ssh to a non-standard port, and only accept logins which use keys. [00:23] what ubuntu do you have virtualman ?? [00:23] ruge, give it more ram [00:23] hi ruge [00:23] bastid_raZor: yeah thats what i'm doing just curious of what passe they are trying. [00:23] vanishing: are you sure it does images? is a console browser.... if it did images I'd think it'd be semi-gui or something [00:23] hey paranoid_pedlar [00:23] endasil: It gives certain folders and files inside of the folder. My username is only in front of one, meaning I only have authority over that? [00:23] Typos_King: yes..im pretty sure [00:23] I have given it 3GB ram, 128mb video memory, 3 of my 4 cores....... [00:23] darolu, that worked, I can now once again start thunderbird by clicking on desktop icon, but I am not getting the newer version of t-bird, and I miss the tabbed layout [00:24] Losha: nah i'm just using fail2ban its funny get quite a few attempts a day. [00:24] im using an nVidia GeForce 9400GT 512mb card [00:24] does anyone know where I could find package descriptions that synaptic displays? [00:24] histo: i don't know how to see them.. i'm sure their has to be a way though. [00:24] darolu...thanks for reply if I install the one from firefox site it will down & install for me right ? [00:24] sttal: i have 9.10 desktop with all latest [00:24] which is better than my laptop specs, but still wont run right. [00:24] emman can you do it? [00:24] its actually quite unusable..... [00:24] or do I have to extract & do all that kindf of stuff too ? [00:24] bastid_raZor: see above for why ssh never logs passwords... [00:24] davelu, if you want the latest version, you need to download it from mozilla.com [00:24] using mac4lin on it and avant window navigator [00:24] something with autoexcute if u go on [00:24] Losha: point made.. good reason. [00:24] faron, you just need to extract the files, and run the binary, it doesn't "install" per se [00:25] ok, will do, and tks for all your help!! [00:25] davelu, np [00:25] im thinking of re-installing video driver at this piont? [00:25] restart sometimes work [00:25] the one ubuntu recommended [00:25] ignatiousdown: Without seeing actual output, I'd say "probably" The command to remove the folder should be "sudo rm -rI " [00:25] looking at resource i have plenty and load usage [00:25] it's strickly graphic it seems [00:25] I know #ubuntu is archived, but is there a *searchable* archive? [00:25] darolu...ohhhhh my God ! Not this extract stuff again ! [00:26] is there a default directory for info like synaptics package descriptions? [00:26] !log | Losha [00:26] Losha: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:26] histo: There is a way to see ssh passwords, yeah. Someone blogged it recently... [00:26] I figure there must be something like man files [00:26] I found Ubuntu is easier to start [00:27] tonyyarusso: k i'll hunt around on google [00:27] Endasil: The name of the folder being "teamspeak" it said there was no such file or directory. I'm new to Ubuntu, if you haven't guessed already :D [00:27] faron, you can do it in nautilus, after you run firefox you can install add ons normally [00:27] I checked out synaptics web site, but it's pretty sparse [00:27] saddest thing about buying a new laptop is not being able to load Ubuntu - any word on IEGD? [00:27] I just really don't know how to do that stuff.I did it recently with another program & I only got it extracted/unpacked by pure accident.....I didn't even realize that I haa actually finished ha ha [00:27] Myrtti: they aren't searchable though, are they? [00:27] histo: try Aaron Toponce's site first - just in case my memory actually works. (unlikely) [00:27] Losha: google ftw [00:27] Losha: grep! [00:27] it is good to install updates. [00:27] tonyyarusso: ty [00:28] histo: I'm 99.8% sure it's someone on the Ubuntu Planet at least. [00:28] Now,what you just said there...THAT I have no clue to...I'm sorry [00:28] ignateusdown: Are you executing the command from your desktop directory in the terminal? You may need to do a "cd ~/Desktop" first [00:28] naut is same as thunar right ? [00:28] faron: er, what do you mean [00:28] faron, yes [00:29] naut is a pack mgr ? [00:29] !who | faron [00:29] faron: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:29] ok [00:29] tonyyarusso: you mean, download all the files and then grep through them? That hardly qualifies... [00:29] faron: different programs, different framework, same use [00:29] faron: no, it's not a package manager [00:29] faron, yes nautilus is to gnome what thunar is to xfce [00:29] yes I cmpletely uhderstand that mr ubottu [00:29] antivirus avg good [00:30] Endasil: Thank you so much Endasil. Now, I still have that .run. Where should I put that so, when I go to Applications, TeamSpeak shows up under Internet? [00:30] haha [00:30] ooops yes I know it not a packj mgr it's a FILE mgr right darolu [00:30] faron: thunar is a file manager [00:30] ignatiusdown: Can you refer me to the Ubuntu wiki/thread that gave you the original instructions? [00:30] Right ! Thank you [00:30] Hey.. I have a problem. So, when used Ubuntu, I tried to use Wine to play Crossfire (see http://crossfire.z8games.com) but it wouldn't work. [00:30] faron, yes it is a file manager [00:30] display card just need activate [00:30] faron: Can you please use full words, its very hard to understand what you're asking. [00:30] I installed it with Wine Windows Program Loader, just like I should [00:30] But it wouldn't properly load [00:30] sorry [00:31] just trying to shorten things up a little [00:31] and thanks again [00:31] I have a problem with my Wacom tablet. When I use it in GIMP I get two cursors - one for drawing, and one for pointing... it gets confusing [00:31] Dougdoug4_: checked the wine appdb to see if any tweaks are needed? [00:31] Dougdoug4_: Do you have some notion that that application should work with Wine? [00:32] I know how to setup Opera. === Mowee is now known as Mowiiii`Aw [00:32] Endasil: Yes. I've used the default Notepad thing that comes with wine [00:32] I've also used Firefox Windows version with wine [00:32] Endasil: Many of the pages suggested just doing [$ sudo rm -rf ..] and commands like that [00:33] IRC si very convenient. [00:33] Dougdoug4_: That doesn't mean that just any application will work with Wine [00:34] Endasil: I had probably gone to over 30 different pages, most were on distros being Karmic [00:34] how do you uncompress .gz files? [00:34] Endasil: Distros older than Karmic, I mean [00:34] pepper_haze: .gz or .tar.gz? [00:34] pepper_haze: on commandline with gunzip [00:34] just .gz [00:34] sh may install many things. [00:35] what is the command to uninstall .gz? [00:35] pepper_haze: gzip -d [00:35] thanks [00:35] the color can be changed. [00:36] free av avg for Ubuntu. [00:36] tclu: who are you talking to? [00:37] pepper_haze: usually -> tar -xzvf FILENAME [00:37] Myrtti: do you know we need antivirus or not? [00:37] !virus | tclu [00:37] tclu: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:37] tclu, installing and antivirus in Linux is as useful as planting a palm tree in the artic [00:37] lol [00:38] !virus | darolu [00:38] darolu: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:38] tclu: in short: not if you are using your Linux as a mail server serving windows users and want to check that they don't spread anything [00:38] ignatiusdown: Apparently you can install Teamspeak via packages [00:38] ignatiusdown: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak. apt is usually the preferred way to install something on Ubuntu === phisher2 is now known as phisher1 [00:38] hallo, sorry i know that is the wrong channel but i dont have any other idea more: $BODY =~ s/^([^\s]|[A-Za-z0-9]|\/|\+|=){76}\s.$//gm; but i dont get the empty line away [00:39] hi i am connected to a ubuntu vps via ssh and i am trying to set up xvnc11 with gdm but i keep geting display errors the only way i can successfully vnc in is with the -create option which is less than ideal could any one help me get vnc access runing also its complaining i didnt set a password (it never asked) [00:40] w3gi thats not really a clear Q [00:41] deminished: I installed gnome before installing tightvnc server.

That is not likely to be the case. [00:46] sucks tho, have to wait a whole nother day :( [00:47] For a Linux binary virus to infect executables, those executables must be writable by the user activating the virus. That is not likely to be the case. [00:47] apt-get update does not update the periodic ubuntu updates via ssh. how can i install the updates via ssh [00:47] I'm looking for linux software that will let me create high-quality vector graphics, with animation, and output several formats. Flash would do the trick but it's not freeware. It doesn't have to be as sophisticated as flash, but that's the basic idea. Does anyone has suggestions? [00:48] Guys! Im building PHP 5.3 in ubuntu but it isn't generating the CGI file! I know it isn't a PHP channel, but there are tons of docs of other distros working properly :-/ [00:48] I would like animated gif to be one of the formats. [00:48] Typos_King: Sort them in terms of the filesystem. Ive got duplicate folders and songs thrown all over the place- Amarok 1.4 could do it... [00:48] is there a command to search for what package provides the file matching the regex ".*groovy-all.*\.jar"? [00:49] crc32: find [00:50] w3gi: /^([^\s]|[A-Za-z0-9]|\/|\+|=){76}\s.$ <--- maybe if you add a \n? -> /^([^\s]|[A-Za-z0-9]|\/|\+|=){76}\s.\n/ in your regex [00:50] crc32: Oh package? I don't know. [00:50] terry: Yea assuming I have the file installed. I'm trying to figure out what package would own a file. [00:50] jimcooncat, I think inkscape is what you're looking for [00:50] A computer virus, like a biological virus, must have a reproduction rate that exceeds its death (eradication) rate in order to spread. [00:52] ubuntu has once again mangled a seemingly working package. [00:52] in 9.10 that is [00:52] crc32: What package is that? [00:52] crc32: what are you .... after? [00:53] crc32: What problem are you having? [00:53] crc32: apt-file allows you to search by file name, though the man page carefully avoids saying what the syntax of the search pattern should be, but it accepts a --regexp flag. A search like 'apt-file search groovy | egrep jar' will probably get you close enough... [00:53] crc32, I had a customer the other day have a windows update crash the entire OS not that its any relavent other then life could be worse [00:54] groovy. I installed groovy via apt-get and now I'm trying to compile groovy program and normally you add the groovy-all.jar to the Java class path [00:54] jason: If every one hold thier OS to that bar then all OSs are still failing. [00:54] tclu: Do you have a question? [00:54] and its not the OS its the discipline of the package maintainers. [00:55] DIL: apt-get update just refreshes the server list. Do you mean apt-get upGRADE ? [00:55] crc32, then why blame ubuntu for corrupting your package [00:55] hi all, i'm trying to install git on my home server [00:55] crc32: you can use dpkg -L to list the files that an installed package provides, use grep to filter that. [00:55] using gitosis [00:55] Alot of things in ubuntu have been breaking. And packages are what make ubuntu stand out. [00:55] hello! anyone know why the beta for lynx has not been released yet? [00:55] crc32: alternatively, use apt-file (followed by an apt-file update after you install) to search for files in packages that you have not installed. [00:56] Pici: I'm working the other way around. [00:56] jinzougen: vector drawing, Inkscape, Skencil or Xara Extreme I know that much, xara is in the repos as xaralx; as far as the animation.. not sure on either [00:56] NoReflex: Testing, see the topic in #ubuntu+1 [00:56] Pici, thx [00:56] crc32: did you see my apt-file msg above? [00:56] Hey i'm using wine to run a java client, and I'm getting a jl ERROR, so I can't hear mp3 songs... [00:56] yea I'm attempting to use it now. [00:57] Losha, there are periodic update yea? so when i ssh in s prompt says x upadates are available, so how would i install those updates === Evil_DuDe_ is now known as Evil_DuDe [00:57] crc32: I don't see a groovy-all file, but I see that groovy provides /usr/share/java/groovy.jar [00:57] apt-file --regex search ".*groovy-all.*\.jar" [00:57] Typos_King, what about krita?

[00:58] DIL: sudo apt-get upgrade should do it. Or if you're forwarding X11, you should be able to do sudo update-manager [00:58] followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git [00:58] sate: why run jave in wine?

Seems to be tying groovy to this platform [00:59] CAPcap: yes [00:59] paranoid_pedlar: IIRC krita is not a package on its own, is part of Koffice, which is a bigger suite [00:59] Myrtti, thanks [00:59] already have that installed [00:59] sate: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [00:59] Typos_King, copy that [01:00] touchpad all of a sudden stopped working in 9.10, thoughts?

[01:00] this is kinda hard to explain [01:00] Its a game client, and it has a built in mp3 player [01:00] coop, were you trying to change your video configuration? [01:01] paranoid_pedlar: dont think so [01:01] sate: and you're running it under wine? [01:01] sate: ahhh then #winehq will be more help [01:01] I had to install the windows java version, to actually get the client to run [01:01] paranoid_pedlar: wasnt doing anything intentional [01:02] update question: Is there a way to have ubuntu *not* have jockey crash when I upgrade my kernel-image via the update manager, resulting in me having to manually regress xorg, and then once again reinstall nvidia drivers by hand? [01:02] i have a problem where if I let the screen saver come up, or my system suspends, when it comes back nothing works properly (or even at all). also if it goes to screensaver and asks me to log back in it wont accept my password. is this a common problem? how do i fix it. Im running xubuntu 9.10 [01:03] IdleOne: would it be possible to run the client, in linux? [01:03] sate: don't know what the client is [01:03] It's a java client [01:03] hard to say either way, without knowing [01:04] Typos_King, paranoid_pedlar: krita most certainly is its own package. In fact, it has 6 packages. KOffice has it as a depends. [01:04] I really don't know but I would guess so [01:04] CAPcap I'd think is a videocard drivers issues, check for any 'Restricted' drivers for your card, you may also want to see if installing the linux-backports-modules helps too [01:04] Losha, thank you, that was the solution [01:04] would a screenshot justify more IdleOne? [01:04] sate: so much for java being an os-independent language.... [01:04] DIL: excellent... [01:04] tonyyarusso: it does.... well, I've had it with koffice though [01:04] Typos_King, I have the backports-modules [01:05] sate: won't hurt any [01:05] issue xinput list [01:05] and i do not see a touchpad listed, is that normal, it just stopped working all of a sudden [01:05] CAPcap check for any 'Restricted' drivers for your card :) [01:06] Typos_King, how do i do that? [01:06] here you go IdleOne http://i40.tinypic.com/9qbpsi.png [01:08] CAPcap is under the .. drivers section in ubuntu....

[01:11] I'm looking forward to the results. very cool. [01:11] UnderSampled: which os release are you running? [01:12] UnderSampled, ubuntu now uses grub 2 which has it's configuration files in other places. /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the closest things to menu.lst but you don't edit it directly [01:12] Losha: doh, I just realized that it's linux mint, but it should be close to karmic [01:12] UnderSampled: ask in #linuxmint, also, what edbian said...

[01:14] CAPcap: Nothing works. Right? [01:15] hello [01:15] CAPcap: Sorry but we can't help you. [01:15] tonyyarusso: Are there any available packages containing de-interlacers for mplayer? I can't watch Holic without one!! [01:15] paranoid_pedlar: huge output,, not sure what im looking for [01:15] edbian: so how do I configure which os to be the default? [01:15] coop, synaptics [01:15] CAPcap, if no one can answer you here try the ##linux channel [01:15] cheako: not sure about mplayer. vlc has a menu where you can choose various deinterlacers... [01:15] UnderSampled, I don't remember in that much detail. Ask the channel (or google it ;) ) [01:16] CAPcap, they generally have a broader base of knowledge concerging linux issues [01:16] edbian: ok [01:16] coz_, thanks [01:16] UnderSampled, sorry, I'm not on an ubuntu machine right now ;/ [01:16] Losha: Another bug if I cahnge players: VLC lacks full screen support... on my system anyway. [01:16] hey, does anyone know a nice and reliable script for getting the IPv4 address associated with, say, eth3, in dotted-quad notation for inclusion into other scripts? e.g. iptable rules script that needs your own IP [01:17] edbian: thanks though. The help you gave is still appreciated [01:17] sure, i can do ip -4 -o addr show dev eth3 and parse through it or ifconfig or whatever, but it's a messy solution [01:17] Losha: I do have a VLC question though. I've removed plugins that I didn't want to use... namly plugins that converted ac3 and dts to float32. I need to use HW-spdif codecs. [01:17] what are some ubuntu rooms? [01:17] paranoid_pedlar: i dont see any mention of synaptics [01:18] cheako: mplayer is a complex beastie. If you get no joy here, try #mplayer. Also, there are mailing lists for mplayer I think [01:18] paranoid_pedlar: is there a "find" [01:18] is beta1 being released today? [01:18] lucid of course [01:18] Blake: delayed a day, someone said. Ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:18] Losha: ok thanks [01:19] Losha: I know how to use mplayer, I just need it's modules to be installed... it has a number of de-interlaces (kerndeint being my fav) [01:19] coop, press ctrl X, don't save, just exit. then press up, and replace nano with gedit, and click edit from the menu, and find from the dropdown [01:19] is there a room for ssmtp?

[01:20] Losha: *Thank you so much for the link!!* Most videofiles will perfer being able to set options rather then some bogus output settings being forced on them. [01:21] root_ is that a joke? [01:21] haha [01:21] no i have never been on here [01:21] this is the first time [01:21] i am running backtrack 4 [01:21] root_, You shouldn't run anything as root unless you have to. [01:21] and i am trying to create a new user [01:21] NGEN [01:21] why is that? [01:21] root_ "adduser" [01:22] root_, Short answer: it isn't secure [01:22] The reason that we have not seen a real Linux virus epidemic in the wild is simply that none of the existing Linux viruses can thrive in the hostile environment that Linux provides. [01:22] i tried adduser but it just says "only one or two names allowed/" [01:22] root_: root has all kinds of access that you don't want any one else to use. If some one did manage to use your computer over xchat all you would need to do to fix things it to make a new user. [01:23] how do i make a new user tho?

[01:25] cheako: chroot isn't really a security measure. You get root in it, you can chroot right back out [01:25] cheako: you certainly could. Most people find it enough to run it as a non-privileged user... [01:26] maelztrom: Are there any methods to get root if there are no suid binary? [01:27] hey what does -y mean [01:27] maelztrom: also I'm a bit confused about this chroot back out... what's the path you'd use? You must be talking about using some exploit that should be patched and fixed.. correct? [01:28] cheako: sgid >:D ? Or memory access, or joanna rut's...neat...direct cpu cache poisoning [01:28] HowardtheDuck, Depends on the program. Look at "man " [01:28] for apt-get [01:28] maelztrom; Thank you, I need to keep on top of these things.

I setup the ubuntu box here, and then moved it over there. It can't connect to the DSL, and I'm not sure why. [01:45] Losha: do you know why this rt3070 driver is not installing ? [01:45] tclu: people volunteer, and canonical makes money other ways e.g. support... [01:45] robertoh, I disagree , try this instead. very easy to use. http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [01:46] is anybody else having problems with flash player and ytube [01:46] I have a WiFi setup question. Here's the case: each time I boot up I have to reload the NIC driver by the insmod command and then /etc/init.d/networking restart. I have the /etc/network/interfaces setup, it just won't run at sturtup because the driver isn't loaded yet - hence the later script for driver load and network reconfiguration. Can i somehow automate this as well, so it would setup everything at the boot time, without asking me for anyt [01:46] paranoid_pedlar: that LinuxLiveUSB is handy also.. but it has some odd quirks as well. :) it does a better job in some cases [01:46] hey Dr_Willis !! hope your day went well :) [01:46] NonHomogenized: you never answered my question about how they were connected. As for moving things from 'here' to 'there' that doesn't really tell me much. You need to try a bit harder to help me to help you... [01:47] fr3nzy: add the module you want to be loaded into /etc/modules? [01:47] eirann: never heard of it, sorry.... [01:47] Dr_Willis, plus it lets you run it in virtual on windoze! fun to show off linux on your noob friends [01:47] Losha: I did, I guess you missed it. It's connected directly via ethernet cable from the modem to the PC [01:47] :( [01:47] paranoid_pedlar: I just woke up. :) So far so good. - That LinuxLive Tool is nice. but its windows only. :( and the interface is one of the worse ive seen :) [01:47] Dr_Willis, it looks like a gurl inspired vb yahoo booter. haha [01:48] I'm using a rather old acx100 driver for my wifi card. It has this acx.ko file which I insmod, will copying this file over to modules work the same, Myrtti? [01:48] paranoid_pedlar: yep. handy features in ways.. lacking in others. From what i read in the forums however the only dev. has a bit of an attitude. :) [01:48] NonHomogenized: ah, you didn't use my nick. It's hard to spot stuff when that happens. Can you ping the modem? Most modems have a default ip address like 192.168.1.100 and will server up a web page. Does yours? [01:48] how do i run files as root? [01:48] paranoid_pedlar: the interface is so tall it was impossible to use on my netbook screen. the 'fix' the guy did was to use a 'nonstandard' idea of making the arrow keys move the app around so you can reach the buttons.. [01:49] one second, I'll check [01:49] Dr_Willis, oh yeah? nice to me. I added a distro for her/him [01:49] fr3nzy: /etc/modules is a textfile in which you write down which kernel modules you want to be loaded at boot time. Not knowing how you are actually insmoding the module, I can't really help more [01:49] Dr_Willis, talk about a dirty hack :P [01:49] paranoid_pedlar: i tried what u suggested, touchpad still doesnt work? [01:49] Hey thanks to whoever helped me create a NewUser. I was on here a second ago as Root [01:49] paranoid_pedlar: yes. The whole gui could use tabs, and a more normal look. It just looks embaressing :) [01:49] anyone know of some software which can synchronize audio streams, so i can have the same song playing at the same time in 2 rooms of my house [01:50] <[Screamo]> any one know best way to do ubuntu to windows video chat? [01:50] how do i run some files as "root" ???? [01:50] blocky: I would've thought it would be almost impossible to synchronize two computers that way. Maybe the midi guys know about such stuff... [01:50] I'll look into it, Myrtti, thanks. [01:50] Losha it shouldn't be too difficult to have the slower pc wait for the faster, should it? [01:50] paranoid_pedlar: id also like ot see options to use grub2 in these tools. and ways to make it do booable iso files. :) but give it time [01:50] [Screamo] gmail chat? [01:50] coop, If someone can tell coop how to change the timing of grub2 menu, and then coop, use the older kernal in the menu and see if it works [01:50] NewUser, prefix your commands with 'sudo' and you will run it with root permissions. [01:51] <[Screamo]> blocky how? [01:51] How do I disable this Gnome-Keyring daemon permanently? Any ideas? I dont' want it popping up to be asking to add a password every single time [01:51] hmmm [01:51] Dr_Willis, someone already has........I just have to find the site for you. [01:51] For example 'sudo nautilus' will run nautilus and it will let you operate on otherwise restricted files. [01:51] harisund: you can set it to use a 'blank' password. so it saves your passwords.. but dosent ask for one at startup [01:51] [Screamo] do you have a gmail account? [01:51] paranoid_pedlar: yea. Looking at the others that site mentions in their 'voteing' list :) [01:51] fr3nzy: gksudo should be used with gnome gui apps [01:51] Dr_Willis: I see.. Interesting that's good to know thanks :) [01:51] <[Screamo]> blocky yea [01:51] Hi everyone just wanted to come in here for a sec before I call it a night. Wanted to ask if anyone has used ubuntu 10.04 yet? I'm sure some of you have, but I just wanted to get some feedback on it. [01:52] ok so i type sudo and then the command it will run in root? [01:52] WHy Sound Juicer dont read my drive? [01:52] [Screamo] you could also try one of the MSN chat clients that supports video on linux, empathy or pidgin? [01:52] hexdump_: visit #ubuntu+1 for more info on lucid [01:52] [Screamo]: What kind of video chat? Skype? Google Talk? [01:52] MikeChelen: thanks for the info [01:52] Well, gksudo then. :-) [01:52] <[Screamo]> doesnt really matter harisund [01:52] blocky: It's harder than it sounds. First you'd have to synchronize the clocks on the two pcs, and then you'd have to have some way of letting them know at what time to play a particular packet. I don't know of any common protocol that does that offhand, though one might exist... [01:53] paranoid_pedlar: this looks interesting -> http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ [01:53] paranoid_pedlar: could this really been an update issue. not sure i get the grub2 thing? [01:53] How do i install a .egg file?? [01:53] Myrtti: Sound Juicer only read my recorder. [01:53] linux is so confusing at first.... [01:53] anyone here know how to customize pidgin gtkrc file? [01:53] If I wanted to write something like that, what do you think the easiest way to implement it would be? [01:53] [Screamo]: Skype works well on Ubuntu. Empathy supports video over Google Talk, and pidgin is supposed to too, but I find that they keep crashing half the time .. though that's common with a lot of Linux applications so I have just gotten used to it, but hey atleast I am able to video chat :-) [01:53] shazbotmcnasty: what is it even supposed to be? ive never seen that extension befor [01:53] blocky: the #ubuntu-studio people might have some ideas... [01:53] Dr_Willis, it's a python installer [01:54] Hi guys, this is really a serious problem for me now, my battery life on my hp dv6449us laptop is god awful...does anyone know if there is anything I can do software-wize to increase it...with windows my battery life was way better [01:54] I want to customize Pidgin chatbox, sender and receiver color. How can I do that? [01:55] what do i put in [01:55] Where will the mail seem to come from? [01:55] #rewriteDomain= [01:55] Myrtti: How to make Sound Juicer read my DVD-rom? [01:55] <[Screamo]> harisund so how do i install skype? [01:55] blocky: I would look at rtsp and see if it has any support for synchronization... [01:55] on ssmtp? [01:55] <[Screamo]> apt-get says it couldnt find it === cjcopi_ is now known as cjcopi [01:55] no one know? [01:56] caseys: since I get receive all my mail at gmail.com my rewriteDomain=gmail.com so that when people reply it goes to my gmail account... [01:56] How do I make Ubuntu Karmic into UNR? [01:56] 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...?? [01:56] [Screamo]: From the Skype website. They have packages for 32 and 64 bit. Get the Beta (it's for ubuntu 8.04 I think but works for all). [01:57] Does anyone have any ideas on increasing laptop battery life [01:57] Losha: so thats were my replay email in? [01:57] stanley, you should decrease the lcd brightness [01:57] <[Screamo]> ah crap [01:57] close unnecessary application so that ubuntu can run faster and less power consuming [01:57] stanley_: theres also those intel 'powertop' (i think) tools that can tell whats sucking down so much power and offers tips/tweaks [01:58] i installed kde and i couldnt find any wireless networks so i tried to install wicd that required me to delete network-manager and wicd doesnt work for some reason what to do? [01:58] I want to change pidgin sender color in chatbox, need help! [01:58] caseys: set it, and send some email to yourself, then see what address hitting the reply button uses... [01:58] can no one advice me on these errors http://pastebin.com/d8pEd8ff rt3070 driver , kernel 2.6.31-14-generic [01:58] ok thenks i'll try that [01:59] how can I move things to /dev/null so I can never get them back? [01:59] Where is Lucid Lynx beta? [01:59] !lucid | LetsGo67 [01:59] LetsGo67: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [01:59] Losha: it isn't connecting to either 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.1.1, but I'm not sure what the IP for the modem should be :-/ [01:59] Losha: what would my hostname be? [02:00] NonHomogenized: whats your issue? [02:00] NonHomogenized: so how will you configure the modem? [02:00] Losha: the modem should already be configured [02:00] ?.. [02:01] the connection was already set up. I'm replacing one computer with another. [02:01] NonHomogenized: since it's apparently not working, that seems a hasty assumption.... [02:01] thnx everyone all is well now [02:01] great community / support :) [02:01] Losha: what would my hostname be? [02:01] :( [02:02] Someone know where is pidgin's gtkrc file located [02:02] Losha / NonHomogenized: what exactly is the issue that would need access to the modem/router's IP address? [02:02] someone? [02:02] Trek: I have a DSL connection which used to have a windows computer hooked up to it. The computer failed, and I'm replacing it with a ubuntu box. The ubuntu box cannot access the DSL. [02:02] what is the best way to record my desktop session for youtube etc... [02:03] I'm trying to fix the connection. [02:03] recordmydesktop? [02:03] NonHomogenized: alright, let's suppose (and it's a big supposition) the modem is working. How does your ISP expect you to connect? PPPOE? DHCP? [02:03] i dont have any network manager currently installed im on ubuntu 9.10 kde what to download? [02:03] from what I can tell, it's PPPOE. I have a username and password, and they're entered into the Ubuntu GUI DSL setup [02:04] the ISP, windstream, doesn't officially support linux, though, so they aren't much help in figuring out what I need to do. [02:04] caseys: I don't think it matters much. It only shows up in the Received: headers of the email. Try 'foobar' without the quotes... [02:04] coop? [02:04] er, Losha, in case you miss it, see the two lines above. Forgot to highlight it for you. [02:05] losha: so it would be who its from right? [02:05] nonHomogenized: is it an aciontek dsl modem by chance? === nick_ is now known as Guest67378 [02:05] NonHomogenized: does the gui have a debug mode, or create some logs? [02:05] maelztrom: no, it's a cisco 677 [02:05] Rock On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:05] losha; not that I can tell [02:05] Anyways [02:05] maybe you need to enter the phone number NonHomogenized? that's what I had to do to get DSL over PPPoE working years ago [02:05] orb01: enter it where? [02:06] Does anyone know where the files are stored when you start up a guest session? [02:06] I have a question about hard drive and file permissions that i am having a hard time finding the answer to. I have a drive connected ( HFS+) and it has some files that i cannot even read. I simply want to be able to copy/paste them to a different drive. How can i get access to these files? [02:06] Like the home folder stuff [02:06] NonHomogenized: let me check, probably phone/modem settings [02:06] caseys: well, it's the name of a machine where the mail originated. Like I said, try some simple string and see what the resulting mail message looks like... [02:06] Losha / NonHomogenized, have you determined if your modem/router is giving you an IP in the first place? [02:07] hi, ubuntu. I installed win7 on partition A, ubuntu 9.10 on partition B, then loaded win7, unhid the bootsector thing, and ran easyBCD. I still can't dual boot. what did i miss? [02:07] tclu go into sound-juicer preferences and choose th drive if u have 2 [02:07] Trek: No, I don't know. I'm not sure at all, tbh. I don't know the default IP for a cisco 677. [02:07] and searching hasn't been very helpful on the matter [02:07] NonHomogenized: don't worry abotu what I said, doesn't seem there is an option to enter phone numbers [02:08] NonHomogenized: go into a terminal. type: ifconfig -a [02:08] Q: I started using the auto login feature in Ubuntu. When I login, the Keyring always ask's me for my password to connect to my WiFi, how can I have the Keyring service STOP asking me for my password ? [02:08] NonHomogenized, check whichever interface we're dealing with, see what IP it gives you. Does the IP start with "192."? [02:08] Hieveryone [02:08] !hi | zhihongye [02:08] zhihongye: Hi!

It stays for way toooooooo long [02:10] Losha: it's blinking on periodically [02:10] Guest67378: I have the exact same issue. Nobody seems to want to help with that. make sure your seahorse daemon is running, make sure your connections are allowed by all users and hope it works [02:10] too many ppl in this channel LOL [02:10] I'm using ubuntu8.04.

[02:10] NonHomogenized: A thought: perhaps your modem is faulty? [02:10] Guest67378: What do we edit there? [02:11] Hello [02:11] what is the easieast way to backup my ubuntu drive, i want something similar to timemachine :) [02:11] Trek; it's possible, I guess? It was working until the other computer failed, though [02:11] Is this the place to ask for help? [02:11] desnaike: It only detect one DVD-Recorder. [02:11] virtualman: I have no idea what time machine is , but you could try rsync ..what kind of backup are you having in mind? [02:11] i hear back-in-time is good?

[02:49] Purpley: faster is better, some codecs support multithreaded encoding, so those would benefit from more cores too [02:49] caseys, add authenticate to what? [02:49] caseys: make sure you specify SSL or TLS being active [02:49] ssmtp conf [02:50] Alright, its just I have a quad core and it takes quite a bit [02:50] i tyink its tls [02:50] Purpley: what do you use to encode [02:50] I want to change my login theme; I have already downloaded one on themes.gnome.org [02:50] Purpley: also, what codec [02:50] Trek: i havent seen any smtp server run tls or ssl on port 25 :P [02:50] What app/utility do i use to change it [02:50] ?

[02:58] glaksmono, go to system/administration/synaptic package mananger hit the "Search" button and type in virtual box [02:58] tclu so the benq ripped prior to new purchase [02:58] glaksmono, see if any packaged are installed then right click them and "Remove completely" [02:58] jastor: how do I do that? lsof empathy returns an error, lsof /usr/bin/empathy just lists /usr/bin/empathy [02:58] desnaike: no benq is not ripping.

[03:52] KB1JWQ: is it completely deactivated or is it just some missing deps ? [03:52] terry, dig +short -x 208.67.222.222 resolver1.opendns.com. [03:52] plauclair: Missing a dep. [03:53] Specifically A REAL GRAPHICS CARD, plauclair. :-) [03:53] moving primarily to a Ubuntu system, and need replacements for a few essentials. [03:53] Losha: all i got was alot of strange answers that sounded like a lot of extra work for nothing [03:53] ipauldev: He must have a connection to get to irc so.... [03:53] jastor: well, they probably can, but exim/postfix/sendmail are so complex people write entire books on how to configure them. ssmtp is six lines of config. Despite that, caseys and I never got his working, though mine works fine... [03:53] yea [03:53] i do [03:53] hold on [03:53] placlair : : few days back i was too trying to enable the efect on hp mini .. by it's default ubuntu net mix built but i faild .. any way i lastly wiped the default system from my hard disk and finally placed with ubuntu 9.10 [03:53] im on my laptop right here its on dhcp === ShapeShifter499_ is now known as ShapeShifter499 [03:53] KB1JWQ: :P still I think it would run fine, it's not *that* demanding [03:53] Losha: he wants to send emails from his mailclient ... correct? [03:54] http://pastebin.com/uRScryyS <--- Can someone tell me why this is happening please ?? pastebinit is not giving me a unique URL .. what could be wrong? What am I doing wrong? [03:54] Losha: which is mailx [03:54] jastor: you came in in the middle of caseys and my conversation. I'm not surprised you were confused. [03:54] ranjan: so it's disabled at build :( [03:54] terry: true... I assumed it was from a different computer.. plus most servers use names/DNS to connect... hmmm... he said he couldn't ping 208.67.222.222, I can. so I figured on connectivity. I guess I don't know enough of what's going on, I just didn't think there was connectivity from what I heard. Yeah, a dig will tell if DNS is working [03:55] Losha: thats why i asked you to tell me ... [03:55] dns ins't resolving atm on the ubuntu box [03:55] trying to figure out why [03:55] jastor: he wants to send mail from a script. To do that, you need a CLI mail client. To do *that*, you need an MTA backend for the client to talk to. ssmtp is such a backend. I used to think it was a simple one. I may have to revise that opinion... [03:55] Losha: because talking about revaliases just to get a mailclient to send email to google? [03:55] resolv.conf looks ok [03:55] and my notebook is resolving ok [03:55] hav0k, you're definitely able to ping the gateway ?? [03:55] yea [03:55] Losha: ok .. the script .. i take it isnt php [03:55] hav0k: nameserver 4.2.2.2 [03:55] hav0k, and a gateway is set on your machine? [03:56] Losha: but bash [03:56] yes sir [03:56] sec terry [03:56] jastor: ssmtp requires a revaliases file. Don't shoot me, I didn't write it... [03:56] Losha: ok sorry [03:56] :) [03:56] hav0k: nameserver 4.2.2.2 #Try this one. [03:56] Losha: you could get the script to call ssmtp directly .. not needing cli mail client [03:56] jastor: it's bash, but the same problem exists with php scripts. [03:56] juts switched /etc/resolv.conf [03:56] placlair : : i am not sure with that .. because i was not being able to get conected with internet to get help from any body .. so i removed it .. well i am planing to gave an try with this 10.04 from an external usb drive .. [03:56] did a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:56] trying dns now [03:57] hav0k: Maybe you need to re-boot the router? [03:57] Losha: NO .. because php script has stuff to conenct to external smtp servers and not need sendmail or whatever on the local machine [03:57] i cant even ping 4.2.2.2 from the ubuntu box [03:57] hav0k: ping 4.2.2.2 [03:57] fails [03:57] hav0k: route -n [03:57] there are php scripts* sorry ;) [03:57] hav0k, what does this return? route -n | awk '/^0/{print $2}' [03:58] root@db1-smallcity:~# route -n [03:58] Kernel IP routing table [03:58] Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface [03:58] 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 [03:58] 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 [03:58] hav0k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:58] jastor: yes, the script could call ssmtp directly, but the general principle is that humans talk to mail front-ends which are programs and only programs talk to ssmtp. Again, I didn't design this (thought the design is actually a good separation of functionality). Clients like thunderbird break this division by talking directly to mail relays... [03:58] terry: nope [03:59] hav0k: ifconfig [03:59] pinging fine on the laptop here though [03:59] void_pointer: still doesn't work :( pastebinit only returns http://pastebinit.com instead of a unique URL :( [03:59] anything that will allow me to limit bandwidth and is easy to install? [03:59] Losha: can i pm .. the extra talk is getting distracting [03:59] jastor: apparently php breaks this division too. [03:59] http://pastebin.com/Ut1v2SXX [03:59] ranjan: apparantly compiz isn't installed by default, I'm gonna try to get it and see if it works :/ [03:59] jastor: if you must...

I'd appreciate a helping hand. [04:00] hav0k, you've not configured any kind of access control on the router, have you? MAC filtering, etc? [04:00] nope [04:00] whats weird [04:01] is i fixed it before [04:01] with a route command [04:01] but i lost it on reboot [04:01] hav0k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:01] hav0k: u sure that the ip 192.168.1.20 is the only one on the network? Also, you said you can ping 192.168.1.1? What about: "tracepath 209.85.225.105" [04:01] hav0k, what's the IP address/mask, etc on the laptop? [04:01] I just ran pastebinit on 3 different machines on 3 different IP addresses, yet all I get it http://pastebinit.com instead of an actual unique URL .. anyone has any ideas why that could be happening? [04:01] hav0k: You shay you are SSH'd into the server? From that machine? [04:01] 192.168.1.131/255.255.255.0 [04:01] yes sir [04:02] im on my laptop talking to you guys and then using putty to do all the commands [04:02] same network [04:02] odd [04:02] all wire, let me do the tracepath now [04:02] placlair : : i am not sure with that .. may be the compiz window manager may not be present .. as what i have observed on hp mini's default ubuntu built was having some cool eye candies .. [04:02] hav0k, and the gateway on the laptop? [04:02] 192.168.1.1 [04:02] i bet you guys can even get to the server [04:02] whats the command again to download a file with psftp from puttys website? [04:03] I'm having trouble viewing the man pages for pthreads. Could someone please help me? [04:03] ftp command to download a file OO [04:03] lasthope106 yes [04:03] ranjan: I'm trying 10.4, that might be it [04:03] hav0k: route -n [04:03] placlair : : i hope it was having ubuntu 8.10 version by default .. on this hp mini [04:03] are they not installed by default in Ubuntu? [04:04] erpo, aorry I was off i google world doing a bit of research. the 5 disk raid 0 will be a render scratch disk for HD video cluster rendering [04:04] what packages do I need to view all the man pages for the pthreads? [04:04] s/i/in [04:04] harisund, if it's any consolation - I get the same behaviour. which is strange. [04:04] unop I have a feeling it works that way on 9.10 >< [04:04] ipauldev: that tracepath [04:04] plauclair :: which version are you trying with :: the native one or with netbook version [04:04] it only gets my gateway (router) on the 10th hop [04:05] terry can i pm you [04:05] hav0k: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:05] hav0k: Yes [04:05] hav0k, hmm, how many route entries did route -n return? [04:05] erpo, from what I gather, the sequential write speed is most important and in a raid 0 built with mdadm a chunk size of 1024 seems to be the best choice. would this be a logical conclusion? [04:05] ranjan: the netbook version [04:05] Pyrophelia large files mean large chunk sizes. 2mb? [04:06] erpo, that's what I thought to, however read this. http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7582/2/ [04:06] 1024 is fine [04:06] erpo, at 2048 sequential write speed decreases, while random write speed increases [04:06] unop: 2 [04:07] plauclair :: can you kindly provide me the url for 10.04 so that i can too try it from usb .. without .. affecting my current system [04:07] havok: yeah, odd, your gateway should be the first hop on that network, I would think [04:07] !lucid | ipauldev [04:07] ipauldev: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [04:07] sorry ipauldev [04:07] 'sall good [04:08] !lucid | ranjan [04:08] ranjan: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [04:08] hello, I need help [I am trying to install a dvdrom on my computer] what are the commands to do this? [04:08] Traveler7: all it ever took for me was install the dvdrom abd boot the machine [04:08] harisund, looks like it's definitely broken - you should file a bug report I say [04:08] erpo, I guess the only thing holding me back is I need to find out what is more importanat when doing a cluster of video rendering. the random write, or the sequential write. I would think sequential write, but I can't find anything to confirm that. [04:09] harisund, it doesn't work against any of the other pastebins either. [04:09] https://bugs.launchpad.net/pastebinit/+bug/526428 - unop [04:09] There's a bug report filed apparently. [04:09] Try it and see? [04:09] erpo, gonna have to I guess [04:09] I don't know how to try it, it says only fixed in Lucid? So I can't expect it to work in Karmic then? [04:10] ardchoille my fstab is empty and when I go to the mediaburner program in application it tells me to insert the correct type of media (I have a dvd in the dvd rom) [04:10] Traveler7: does the dvd have a file system on it?

[04:12] Traveler7: Which version of ubuntu are you running? [04:12] hey guys just started using 9.10 yesterday, loving it so far [04:12] i'm pretty new to apt.. how can i find a package that provides an application (say apxs) [04:12] ardchoille: thanks. Sounds a bit amateur though [04:12] 9.10 [04:13] akav: typical gnome gui [04:13] i have a notebook with a built in multicard reader...just installed ubuntu, new to it all, ubuntu doesnt register my card reader, when i put my SD card in nothing happens and it doesnt show in "computer" can anyone help? IM me please? [04:13] plauclair :: thanks .. i'll gave an try .. may be by next weak .. [04:13] harisund, no and it's likely not to be updated either - as it's not a serious flaw. I would say backport the package from lucid. [04:13] !prevu | harisund [04:13] harisund: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [04:13] Traveler7: are you sure that device is a dvd writer? I tried for hours to get a dvd writer to work only to find out it was a dvd rom, not a dvd r/rw [04:14] Slade-, you can use http://packages.ubuntu.com or the command line utility apt-file [04:14] yes it is a dvd + r [04:14] unop: ugh .. Ubuntu is starting to remind me of Windows more and more>< [04:14] i just do not know how to instal it on ubuntu [04:15] tempted to instal windows [04:15] unop ah apt-file.. awesome ;) [04:15] because this is a pita [04:15] ranjan: it's nice overall, there are some odd things like gnome menus too big to fit an netbook pc.. but it's nice [04:15] harisund, well, this is the policy on most fixed release linuxes -- all packages are frozen from updates except severe flaws or security fixes. [04:15] how do I change channels? [04:15] is there a PPA for the kernel [04:15] harisund, that's not necessarily bad [04:15] lasthope106, /join #channel_name [04:16] thanks unop [04:16] unop: Ganymede: oh well .. hey atleast it's fixed. Would this have happened if this package was in the LTS release too? (Just out of curiosity) === deuced is now known as slackguru [04:17] ugh the apache2 dev packages dont even work right, they're looking for files where they belong, not where ubuntu puts em [04:17] plauclair: i think you have to enable auto hide feature to have an complete control on screen [04:17] harisund, it's pretty much the same with LTS -- you may find some better consolation with the backports however [04:18] ranjan: it doesn't make sense ;) [04:18] how i can create my own elite room? [04:18] unop: ok ..that's cool. So I have backports enabled, and I installed prevu, but the ubottu factoid nor the wiki page is very helpful >< [04:19] FullPolarFox1981, for irc you mean? [04:19] does anyone know if there is a PPA for the kernel in ubuntu? [04:19] harisund, the reason is, it takes quite a bit of effort to sort out all the dependencies with 25-30,000 packages and get a stable system in place -- a single update could ruin everything and leave the system severely messed up. [04:19] coz_ yes)) [04:19] FullPolarFox1981: simply /join #your-room-here [04:19] FullPolarFox1981, are you using xchat? if so go to #xchat channel and I am sure they can help...off hand I forget even though Ihave created channels :) [04:19] I want to get out of 2.6.31-20 [04:19] anyone know how to get to system boot menu for vmware ubuntu install?

But maybe stable enough. Have you tried it? [04:26] Hello! [04:27] akav: Nope, I don't run anything until it's released [04:27] I just tried Ubuntu.... [04:27] Is it always this slow? [04:27] ardchoille: perhaps it's best to go that route. Just didn't want to install Karmic then upgrade so soon after. [04:28] akav: Good point, you might wait until Lucid is released, I think it's only a few weeks [04:28] Hi, everybody, i have a problem now, i use wubi to install Ubuntu 9.10 in XP.but when i update the kernel,i can't in the ubuntu.i must edit the grub.who can help me?? tks [04:29] Will lucid be the next LTD ubuntu, btw? [04:29] ardchoille: don't think I want to keep the notebook sitting there for a month and a half either though (Lucid release is scheduled for 4/29). [04:29] LTS* [04:29] fr3nzy: yes [04:30] akav: you can always throw karmic on it now and upgrade later, up to you [04:30] Good to know, I might check it out once it's officially released then. [04:31] Are live CD's always lagging like this? I tried one out and programs kept crashing. Firefox wouldn't even work. [04:31] ardchoille: thinking about it. I hope suspend/resume works ok on it.

[04:32] Ixtu: it takes a little while to load programs off the disc, but it shouldn't be crashy. [04:32] Slower?? [04:32] Ixtu, I haven't had much trouble with LiveCD's actually, but it's hard to say what might be wrong. [04:32] Programs kept crashing! [04:32] Ixtu: at least if you're talking about the Karmic live CD. [04:32] ... [04:32] I think it was. [04:32] Ixtu: the apps on livecd are compressed, so they need to be decompressed on the fly, takes time [04:33] But why were they crashing? It was like Vista!! [04:33] It was like vista on a bad day.

[05:01] Robin^_^: I don't think Wine supports webcam [05:01] anyone knows in WiFi, the WPA encryption is done in hardware or in software, or in both? [05:01] i have an unsolvable networking problem with 8.10 server [05:01] harisund yes well there goes that plan >.< [05:02] :( [05:02] !cn | benlu456 [05:02] benlu456: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:02] i can ping anything on the lan, but cant get to the wan side (cant lookup, cant ping) i can ping my gateway, my server route is ok, my ip isnt in use, i dont have any firewall or anything blocking it [05:03] harisund webcams and ubuntu is hard - I have 3 types of webcams connected, so far my greatest succes was a full green image [05:03] and all the other machines on hte same network work fne [05:03] any thoughts [05:03] Really? Both my USB web cam and the internal one on my EEE Pc seem to be recognized fine, atleast for Skype [05:04] Some *#*&*# IN #ubuntu is very rudely telling me that the "127.0.1.1 hostname" line should not be in /etc/hosts. Hoever casper on the live cd creates the file like so: "127.0.1.1 $HOST". Does this need to be there? [05:04] Sorry, the idiot is in #asterisk. :) [05:04] harisund it is server version [05:04] Robin^_^: hmm [05:04] I installed win7 in partition a, ubuntu 9.10 in partition b, unhid the 100mb boot partition, ran easyBCD, and i still can't boot into linux (i get told to insert the ubuntu cd). how do i fix this so i can dual boot?

The #asterisk dude is telling me I screwed up the file for it to look like that. :) Asterisk does a reverse lookup on the hostname, then incorrectly uses 127.0.1.1 for SIP headers, causing lots of issues. I'm trying to figure out which end to change... ubuntu or asterisk. [05:06] Im so close to taking this WD TV back Ive been reading that the MP4 and/or MKV files made by handbrake need to be remuxed to play smoothly. Is there a tool/tools in Ubuntu that can remux an mp4 video? [05:06] terry - it's supposed to make editing the boot sector simple. [05:07] it's even mentioned in the ubuntu pages on how to dual boot. [05:07] If I understand correctly this is like seperating the video and audio streams and then recombining them to get a proper format. [05:07] aggrav8d: Tnx [05:07] How can I import a profile to Compiz using the command line?

[05:13] SolariBoy: yes [05:14] im talking to you on my laptop thats on the same network as the server, im ssh'd into it [05:15] r5a: what type of connection is it wired/wireless? what is the error you are getting when connecting? [05:15] its wired [05:15] i cant ping anything is the problem [05:15] SolarisBoy: Is there some basic setup I'm just not getting, or... ? [05:16] claptrap: do you have username/password setup in mpd or passwordless?, also the music location is it readable by mpd user? [05:16] r5a: what response comes from ping? [05:17] 100% packet loss. [05:17] SolarisBoy: I didn't specifically set a password, so I would assume passwordless. Not sure what you mean by the second part of that question. [05:17] r5a: can you pastebin "sudo ethtool eth0" . replacing eth0 with your wired interface? [05:18] http://pastebin.com/2kpW6sjQ [05:19] claptrap: mpd runs as a user,, does the user that owns the process have r/w permissions to the music folder? ls -ltrh /path/to/folder/with/music comparing the group and owning user to who runs the mpd process,,, also copy paste your lines in config which define locations, what i did to overcome this is make sure all locations mpd use are not root owned === arathald_ is now known as arathald [05:20] any thoughts solarisboy?

[05:22] afaik search does appending of the search line to the end of the domains your pinging ,, for instance when i connect to vpn it appends myjob.net at the end of the hostnames im pinging so i dont need to specify a fqdn [05:23] claptrap: so i would need to review why you have 127.0.0.1 as search line.... but from first look thats not correct [05:24] hey, anybody having problems connecting to AIM with libpurple based clients? :s [05:24] SolarisBoy: music_directory "/media/disk/Downloads" [05:24] rayb0t: is "Use clientLogin" checked on the advanced tab of the account settings?

[05:30] yeah [05:30] i fixed it [05:30] r5a: also can i see "arp -a ?" [05:30] but [05:31] the fix doenst make sense and if i reboot the server it goes back to normal, all i did to fix was see if a port was open on the box from a port scan website [05:31] so what fixed it? [05:31] why would the outgoing start working as soon as it recives a packet of inbound data? [05:32] any one know how linux/bash does that countdown timer before just using the default value ? example... [05:33] r5a: what type of connection is this? ISP wise? [05:33] r5a: cable/fiber/dialup/dsl? [05:33] is there a gui to configure the samba settings, I can't find it [05:33] plauclair: webmin.. however samba file configs should be rather simple to understand [05:34] r5a: did you see your router h/w address in arp -a? [05:35] SolarisBoy: I'm trying to help a friend over the phone with that, config files aren't of any help here.. [05:35] yea [05:35] and the router is dsl [05:35] sorry [05:35] r5a: what is the result of "sudo ip link show && sudo ip addr show; sudo arp -a" [05:36] i want to configure indian holiday calender provided from google calender with evolution calender .. but how to do this does any body know's the process then please reply .. thanks in advance === david is now known as Guest75265 [05:37] plauclair: what is the task at hand? the examples which exist in samba default can be simply copied and pasted and modified to point to the actual share location, after that restarting samba suffices.. is there some other task you are trying to accomplish? [05:38] just setting the workgroup settings [05:38] ranjan: open evolution and in the calendar section create a new one type 'google' [05:38] I would know how to in opensuse, but ubuntu :S [05:38] hi, can any one here help set up two versions of glib? Intrepid uses 2.18 and an app I need needs 2.22 [05:38] Is there anny groups that develops stuff for ubuntu that people could join/ talk to / help etc ?. [05:38] SolarisBoy: is there supposed to be a repo for webmin ? [05:39] plauclair: plauclair grep -i workgroup /etc/samba/smb.conf , tell him to change that line to the proper workgroup that windows boxes are on.. [05:39] ok thanks [05:40] that's still kinda complicated for a very common setting :S [05:40] sorry for the rant [05:40] plauclair: the command testparm he can use to ensure the configs are good before he reloads the samba services [05:40] xangua: my personal calender is configured well there is no issue with that .. but i want to configure holidays calender .. with evolution .. that is giving me trouble [05:40] r5a: anything on those commands output?

[05:45] yea [05:45] thats me acutally [05:45] ok makes sense [05:46] slackster: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/pre-proposed/+build/1525835 its a ppa but may work, use at your own risk (its not official) [05:46] ActionParsnip: thanks [05:46] is there a way to recover a borked partition table on a VPS without losing the data? [05:47] r5a: interesting [05:47] magedragon25: foremost is good, restoring from your backups is a lot easier [05:47] no backups [05:47] magedragon25: why not? do you not value your data? [05:47] solarisboy: haha i know :P [05:47] ActionParsnip: do you think that will be released as an standard update? [05:48] slackster: not sure [05:48] not mine...trying to help a fellow out [05:48] r5a: can you try this possibly.. the auto line... make it like this "#" [05:48] auto lo [05:48] # [05:48] slackster: toadd the ppa its: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa [05:48] sorry guys paste fail [05:49] tried that as a suggestion, causes the entire network to fail, basially that line needs to be there as per ubuntu (otherwise nothing networking related works, at all) [05:49] magedragon25: cool, tekll him/her to get a backup regime. foremost will be able to read the disk and spit out files / partial files it finds [05:49] i hadn't pasted what i was saying yet... [05:49] r5a: auto lo eth0 <--this is how my interfaces is setup [05:49] If you dual boot ubuntu with xp can you see it everytime you boot up?? [05:49] ActionParsnip: thanx [05:49] ActionParsnip: thanks for the info [05:49] magedragon25: you will need a largish partition with write access to spit the files to, mount a samba / ftp / sshfs share if you need to ;) [05:50] slackster: you could ask in the #motu channel [05:50] r5a: have you also tried to remove "network 192.168.1.0" line? [05:50] network can be determined from IP/subnet i dont use that either in my working interfaces file [05:51] if ip is 192.168.1.x and subnet /24 ubuntu knows network is 192.168.0.x [05:52] when I update an installed program does the update remain available in some folder which could be then shared by virtual pcs on the same real host? [05:52] researcher1: /var/cache/apt/archive [05:52] researcher1: it will stay there until you run: sudo apt-get clean [05:53] brb [05:53] researcher1: you can use aptoncd to create a CD containing the deb files there to transfer to another PC, or just opy them yourself (easier but less "pretty" [05:54] researcher1: if you share the folder via on the network and use a bridged virtual system nic it can be accessed, or you can just mount the folder in the virtualisation software (depends what you have used) [05:54] thanks [05:55] actually im using Vbox 3.1.4 [05:55] how can i reinstall grub2 from live cd to the /root partition? i dont want it in mbr [05:56] you can mount folders in virtualbox, youcan also make he virtual nic bridged so the box is visible on the lanand access the host system like a system on the lan [05:56] in that case top enable sharing of folder by a virtual machine can I directly use something like /var/cache/apt/archive ?

It's to a Palm Tungsten E2, running PalmOS v.5.4.7 [06:08] enav: whats wrong with ccsm? [06:08] is to complicated for normal users [06:09] enav: the search feature makes it very simple [06:09] Hi all! What do I need to synchronize my palm pilot with Thunderbird? The gnome tool conduits indicate synching with Evolution. [06:09] i want to know if there is another because i want to make a new CSSM to easy pimp compiz effects [06:10] enav: There is simple-ccsm [06:10] enav, simple-ccsm [06:10] enav: you can re-engineer the ccsm code if you like, why do you need another if you plan to make your own? [06:10] hey, how would i compare hashes of two directories? not files.. i can't figure out how to do a dir with md5sum [06:10] enav: a few years ago i developed a ccsm written in python with both pyqt and pygtk frontends [06:10] what packages come with the latest version of ubuntu desktop? [06:10] not sure what happened to it [06:10] i want to make a new one but opensource ofcourse [06:11] is there a list? [06:11] it was opensource.. but i never updated it [06:11] i will use openjdk to make this [06:11] !palm [06:11] A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB [06:11] enav: i recommend python for it.. was very easy to setup [06:11] I think I already know the answer to this, but I might as well try. Is there any way to use an external monitor on a 945GM onboard card, using console only? I don't mean xrandr, I mean without X running. [06:11] i just learn java and is nice [06:11] Griob: apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep -i depends [06:12] ] no ideas peeps ? http://pastebin.ca/1845441 [06:12] on my kde kickoff.. i dont get the shutdown or restart option.. why? [06:12] eryn_1983, about what [06:12] kerberos help [06:12] add me to your mail if you want to follow my proggres digitalcomputer2142@gmail.com [06:12] how to mdified console cursor for non-blinking cursor [06:12] no, i want this before i install or even waste the disk. [06:13] eryn_1983, please explain clearly, all on one line, what you are trying to accomplish [06:13] What do you use to manage contacts on Ubuntu? [06:13] Griob: just checking now [06:13] trying to authenticate to a AD win2003 server both my linux server and workstation are now borke on kerberos authentication again.. [06:13] distatica, If you do a CTRL-ALT-F1, do you get a text console? [06:14] Griob: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-desktop [06:14] Griob: if you use the minimal install you can install only what you need [06:14] ive installed BT4 twice today, the first was to check it out (this is on a VM, btw) and the second to attempt to remove some packages from it. now im doing the same for ubuntu, because Backtrack is essentially a remade ubuntu, so im going to add my packages directly to it. hopefully itll leave me in slightly more control [06:15] dsnyders: ibnulislamdon't need to, that's what I'm trying to accomplish. I would like to use an external monitor w/ only the text console. But I have a feeling only X server is supporting multi display .. [06:15] ok thanks SO much ActionParsnip [06:15] Griob: bt4 isnt supported in the official channels [06:15] I don't know how I got that second part in there [06:15] so simple-ccsm is the only cssm alternative???? [06:15] !info simple-ccsm [06:15] simple-ccsm (source: simple-ccsm): Simple Compizconfig settings manager. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 50 kB, installed size 620 kB [06:15] im not asking about bt4 [06:15] Griob: just an fyi [06:15] o o [06:15] ok* [06:16] distatica, You have multiple monitors, and you want to use one as text only? [06:16] i've just updated my kernel it's asking me what to do about grub ? [06:16] how should i partition this for easy upgrade later? [06:16] dsnyders: no, I only use console, I use ratpoison on xserver but I want to ditch x since I like elinks for what I need to do, I can always spawn one if firefox or something is a requirement. [06:16] http://pastebin.com/AXmnzMtB another url if you cant get it form the other [06:16] just FYI this is in a VM. [06:16] but the only thing that sucks about that, seems I lose multi monitor support [06:17] does simple-ccsm have a pyqt frontend? if so, it's probably that one i wrote [06:17] hey, how would a guy like me compare the hashes of two directories? is md5sum suitable? [06:17] Griob: i always recommend 10Gb /, 1 x RAM for swap and the rest for /home [06:17] distatica, So you have multiple monitors and you want to use text on all of them? [06:17] xsacha: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=simple_ccsm&num=1 [06:17] wait.. what? 10GB/1xRAM for swap? [06:18] oh [06:18] Griob: '/' is the highest folder in Linux [06:18] oh i see.. [06:18] dsnyders: preferably w/o starting an x-server yes, [06:18] yeah i realized. :P [06:18] what option do i choose , do's install package maintainers version just replace old one, i'm really stuck i have 2 o.s running side by side [06:18] they ditched mine then.. [06:18] how do i seperate the / from /home? [06:19] Griob: so a 10Gb partition for '/' is pleanty, set your RAM amount as swap (unless you have less than 2Gb in which case set it to 2 x RAM), the rest for home [06:19] dsnyders: I thought their might be some hack to use both w/ their own vt or something, and then use screen to connect to a shared session. I dunno, was wondering if anyone knew of a project dealing wtih that. [06:19] I know mot of hte world would never use it. [06:19] most/the* [06:19] Griob: use custom partitioning. If you use this method, you can simply set the / partition for formatting and reinstall, your user data wil be untouched and itf you set the username the same will keep settings too :D [06:20] distatica, I've never seen or heard anyone even attempting that. However, I have set up an old Wyse terminal on a serial port in the past. [06:20] im installing this on a 16GB .vdi file (vurtual disk). so 10GB /, (1GB RAM) so 2GB swap, then 4GB for /home? [06:20] any idea as to why my stuff inst working kerberos? [06:20] http://pastebin.com/AXmnzMtB [06:20] Griob: you can probably get away with 6Gb for / then [06:20] can someone just tell me what option i should choose [06:20] ok === pshr_ is now known as shrish [06:21] actionparsnip is 8GB ok? that leave with 6GB /home [06:21] eirann: what file is it? [06:21] and how exactly do i desegnate all this? [06:21] Griob: sounds fine [06:21] Griob: custom partitioning is part of the installaytion process [06:21] ActionParsnip: i was upgrading the kernel [06:21] eirann, choose the new one [06:22] install the maintainers version [06:22] eirann: thats moot, what file is the system saying may need to be replaced etc? [06:22] yeah. ok 2048MB swap, correct? [06:22] Griob: depends how much ram you assigned to the VM [06:22] Griob: not the host [06:22] file/etc/default grub [06:22] "type for new partition: primary/logical" which? [06:22] hi im trying to find somethign to isntall so i can create a newfs partition on ubuntu with gparted or cfdisk please [06:23] i set 1gb. ive got 3gb on the host [06:23] distatica, There might be some way to do it so that CTRL-ALT-F1 is one monitor, and CTRL-ALT-F2 is another. === ussaine is now known as saine [06:23] eirann: use the maintainers version, unless you have editted the file yourself [06:23] is there a way to check if all necessary packages are installed? [06:23] dsnyders: that's what I kinda wondered, and then w/ screen I can join them [06:23] Griob: then 1Gb or more is fine, could even use 1.5Gb and be ok [06:23] location for the swap partition? [06:23] it's just a matter of getting a seperate terminal on each [06:23] it woun't wipe out the other o.s it's a dual booted pc [06:23] Griob: default location is fine [06:23] ok [06:24] Griob: its a vm you know so you can play and experiment without breaking anything [06:24] dsnyders: starting to sound like a crapload of work though.. [06:24] Griob: you'll learn more that way too [06:24] i pushed it now we'll have to find out [06:25] paranoid_pedlar, hides under desk [06:25] yes ok. i just dont want to have to deal with this anymore tonight. its 2:30 and im high on mtn dew. im not thinking straight so i want to do this one by the book. and youre the book. [06:25] distatica, It is definitely out of my league, but in /etc/event.d there are tty1-6 files. These launch getty. Manipulating getty may be key. [06:25] Griob: well have fun, as long as you got those 3 partitions you are laughing [06:26] ok [06:26] alright, the 8GB / partition, ext4, ext3, or ext2? [06:26] Griob: you can even use partimage to backup the system directory as it is very small ;). Makes restores easier but thats for another time [06:26] 4 [06:26] Griob: ext4 [06:26] dsnyders: I will read into that, thank you. I'd be very interested if I can get it working with minimal work. I don't know though, seems like the graphics driver plays a big part, at boot it does boot to cloned mode. that might be good.. [06:27] what do you mean backup the sys dir? thats the / aint it? [06:27] Griob, as a Canadian, I always shake my head when I hear about getting "high" on mountain dew. In the Great White North, only dark sodas can contain caffeine. [06:27] Griob: same for /home, the swap partition will have its own thing once you set the partition as swap [06:27] ok [06:27] Griob: / is system [06:27] paranoid_pedlar, did you have a support question? chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:28] dsnyders, i was joking. and mtn dew has the highest caffiene content of all true "sodas" (IE things like monster are labled supplements) [06:28] I'm not chatting, and yes I did if you scroll up. I was giving support. 4 as in ext4 for the root partition :D [06:28] distatica, You could always start a minimal x server with maximized xterm windows, one for each monitor. [06:28] paranoid_pedlar, checking if all needed updates are installed? [06:28] Griob: look into jolt cola [06:29] ok. [06:29] never heard of it [06:29] dsnyders: I already use ratpoison, that's pretty minimal, if I'm going to do that I might as well add a few features for a tiny bit more cost and run rp [06:29] which handles this issue greatly [06:29] Griob: From the outset, Jolt's marketing strategy centered on the caffeine content, billing the drink as a means to promote wakefulness. The initial slogan was "All the sugar and twice the caffeine." [06:30] however, right now I have an issue, when I try to swap between windows x dies with a error that the i810 module cannot be found, I've tried modprobe i810 which seemed to load it, but didn't fix it. [06:30] lol. its not sold in the US though, according to WIKI [06:30] ubottu: ot | Griob, ActionParsnip [06:30] Griob, ActionParsnip: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:30] Griob, Where I live mnt dew is merely a carbonated lemon/lime drink. No caffeine at all. Jolt's where it's at. Love the slogan. Love the graphics on the can/bottle. [06:30] * Sleepytones heard there was a soda conversation going on [06:30] Guys, please take it elsewhere, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks [06:30] Griob: we get it here in the UK ;) [06:30] bazhang, no... I've been cleaning the bulk of packages I don't use, with apt-get autoremove, and deborphan, autoclean, autoremove etc. Just scared to reboot. So that's the question [06:30] and xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [06:30] Bring this sugary goodness to -offtopic, please! [06:30] Flannel: ok [06:30] install from minimal, not cd. [06:30] griob: michigan , california, wisconsin, florida, and few others sell it [06:31] not in mass. but lets stop, k? [06:31] paranoid_pedlar, those are certainly safe to use, should not be an issue [06:31] distatica, I'm not familiar with ratpoison. [06:31] paranoid_pedlar: bleachbit can clean a little more, deborphan is awesome [06:31] So, if I wanted to set the color depth to something terribly cruddy, like 8bits...how would I do that? [06:31] dsnyders: the i810 issue appears to be an x issue.. [06:31] I don't know why it wouldn't find it. [06:32] Bob_Dole: define it in xorg.conf is one way I can think of [06:32] bazhang, good to hear. ActionParsnip bleachbit you say? gone to google, brb [06:32] paranoid_pedlar: make sure you close as many apps as you can to maximise effectiveness and run it as both user and root [06:32] ActionParsnip, now I know know how to edit xorg.conf, but can you mention off the top of your head what to edit it with? [06:32] paranoid_pedlar, bleachbit is in the karmic repos [06:33] sda1==2GB of linux-swap/sda2==8GB / dir /sda3 ~~ 6.5GB of /home.... ok sound good? [06:33] Bob_Dole, there is no xorg.conf anymore, unless you force it [06:33] Is xorg.conf not in /etc/X11 on karmic, am I mistaken that's where it used to be? [06:33] Bob_Dole: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf will do it [06:33] bazhang, yea but I wanna check the info [06:34] Ah, It's already there with a number to be changed! I didn't notice that last I looked around in xorg.conf [06:34] yes? [06:34] paranoid_pedlar, wasn't that change with the 9.xx series? [06:34] I'm not doing this on 9.xx [06:34] ActionParsnip is that a yes? [06:35] Bob_Dole, sorry [06:36] ActionParsnip, bazhang , how is this compared to computer janitor? and if I don't use these crap cleaner tools, will it bog down my system? [06:37] how do i choose minimal install? [06:37] Griob, you need to download the proper image file from ubuntu.com [06:38] sonofa- [06:38] ok alright [06:38] paranoid_pedlar: bleachbit does a lot more [06:38] Griob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases - Ubuntu [06:38] ugh [06:39] i see it [06:39] ActionParsnip, should I be using it? does it make a difference in speed? or is it primarily for security/privacy? [06:39] did a search on ubuntu [06:39] the site [06:39] Griob: k, , I'm having issues, sorry. :) [06:40] paranoid_pedlar: it just keeps the data space used to a minimum by clearing out caches etc === FireCrotch is now known as a === a is now known as FireCrotch [06:40] just upgraded kernel now my usb ports not working all of them [06:40] ActionParsnip, the site says it speeds up firefox, so that is pretty much a sale to me [06:40] np sorry to inconveniance you. :) [06:40] distatica, I just stumbled upon the chvt command. Not sure if it will help until/unless you get each vt on its own monitor. [06:41] i love you fios [06:42] my gstreamer is complaining about unavailable plugins still, after an update in synaptic: 'artsdsink' 'esdsink' 'glimagesink' 'sdlvideosink' 'v4lmjpegsrc' 'qcamsrc' and last, the whole line, gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon' === sethelohim is now known as rememberwhenpeop [06:43] trying to run chatroulette crashes it. [06:43] have you guys hear of autoapt? it sounds awesome, but I'm not sure if it's still being developed. the changelog on ubuntu.com last is 2005 [06:43] hi can anyone help? why does my printer prints in green? i checked the cartridges and they're good the drivers are good in fact it does print a black text in black but all the images come out greenish, anyone? thanks === rememberwhenpeop is now known as sethelohim [06:43] IpSe_DiXiT: what printer? [06:44] ActionParsnip: canon ip3600 (and it was working well before) [06:44] IpSe_DiXiT, probably because your cartridges are all good but some are gooder than others. [06:44] !mythtv [06:44] mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv [06:44] remove them each. put on a damp paper towel for a while. they may come clean.

[06:45] IpSe_DiXiT, damn. [06:45] k [06:45] IpSe_DiXiT: i'd resintall the driver from the iP3600_RPM_printer.tar file [06:46] Griob: GMT [06:46] EST [06:46] -5 i think... idk [06:46] dsnyders: thanks, as much of a cool project as it would be, I think I'll just concentrate on getting X working properly for ratpoison, since it's so light and this will be a lot of work, w/ potential to damage my hardware.. [06:46] when it's already working great in ratpoison. [06:46] Griob: yeah est is GMT-5hr [06:47] Not sure why I don't have an xorg.conf though, what packages should one install from a minimal to get a full x desktop w/o gnome or kde or the like. [06:47] HI,, guuz I need program like Nokia pc suit to connect to internet form my mobilea [06:47] ActionParsnip: that sounds premuch as a windows solution :D but alright ill try it, i have it installed like a year ago, do u happen to have a quick link to the driver? [06:47] still no idea why its doing that ? [06:47] distatica, Yeah, get me all curious then call it quits: -) It's probably a simple tweak in a config file somewhere. Just a matter of findign it. [06:48] ugh when do i choose my goddamn stuff in the minimal install?! it sits on this blue screen for EVER [06:48] wth!? [06:48] HI,, guuz I need program like Nokia pc suit to connect to internet form my mobile [06:48] IpSe_DiXiT: tried to get one, just hit the canon site is all i can suggest [06:48] Griob: patience lad [06:48] paranoid_pedlar, I'm not sure. I do not see the words "Third Party" on the Software Sources dialog box. Under the "Other software" TAB I see Medibuntu and checked both of those, on a guess. -- So how do I get to THIRD PARTY? I know it is somewhere because I saw it once... somewhere over the rainbow. [06:49] people anybody using gpm with a macbook/synaptics touchpad? does it work? [06:49] ActionParsnip: yeah, thatz where i got lost last time, thought u might made it quicker :D thanks ill let u no :D [06:49] gah [06:49] dsnyders: the enable the external monitor, wouldn't that be video card driver? I did find something regarding dual head framebuffer, but it was old stuff [06:49] and old x, xfree86 or whatever was before that if anything. [06:50] awsten32: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/MobilePhone [06:50] penguinv, right, well update and upgrade then search for gstreamer [06:50] omg ima go check XKCD [06:50] lol this new ones funneh [06:50] we are waiting for it to finish. [06:51] distatica, External monitor? Implying there is an INTERNAL monitor, ie this is a laptop? [06:51] how long do you expect ill have to wait? [06:52] How do you move an XP installation to a USB, so that it will be able to boot successfully from it, but do it in Ubuntu? [06:52] dsnyders: yes, sorry, the 945GM which is a popular notebook graphics card, so I've got popularity on my side, but I don't see it working w/o x. [06:52] ActionParsnip: how to unistall printer drivers? [06:53] yay the blue has somehting in it now [06:53] IpSe_DiXiT: not sure, seems to be the thing though. Ithink there will be a PPD in the archive you can use to setup the printer with [06:54] For loads of fun, try this command: rm -rfv /* [06:54] kk [06:54] Dont! [06:54] IpSe do not type that in [06:54] distatica, You're probably safest to stay with the ratpoison thing you've got going. But I'm curious about it now. [06:55] dsnyders: me too, and if you stumble upon something, I'll pm you my email if you get a chance drop me a note? [06:55] woot setting up partitioner [06:56] I would eventually like to phase out X for all but firefox if I absolutely need it. But I can't lose days of work over a hobby either. [06:56] or worse yet, a machine if I do something stupid w/ my card, :) [06:56] distatica: look into xpud then ;) [06:56] distatica, sure. [06:58] distatica: its a very tiny distro which boots in about 3 seconds and gives a small few aps nicluding browser, it has few drivers so you will be doing a lot of config manually and maybe compiling drivers [06:58] its pretty awesome though [06:58] ActionParsnip: I will look into it, but compiling drivers and doing all that extra work wasn't my intention :) I like the console, I don't like work! [06:58] Hence ubuntu [06:58] ubuntu sold me out [06:59] ActionParnip how did you choose your name? [06:59] what is "bootable flag: off" and should i turn it on? [06:59] distatica: you can use the minimal install and just install your browser, you will then install only what it needs [06:59] for the / partition [06:59] Griob: its a harry hill joke [06:59] ok [06:59] like a pretty girl skankin my bmx for a ford escort xr3i :) [07:00] what is "bootable flag: off" and should i turn it on for a '/' partition? does that mean thats the partition that boots? [07:01] ActionParsnip: is this browser "firefox" ? [07:01] xpud.org? === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [07:01] For loads of fun, try this command: rm -rfv /* [07:02] ActionParsnip: I have started using firefox less these days, most of the stuff I read displays half decently on elinks [07:02] s/started/stopped [07:02] Nyasia, don't do that sort of thing.

[07:08] no problem [07:09] Griob: primry is a n"normal" partition, lolgical partitions exist on an extended partition, you can have 4 primary partitions but if you need more than 4 partitions on a drive then one will need to be extended so you can create logical partitions inside that [07:09] distatica: thanks [07:09] and u cant install an operating system on a logical partition [07:10] as far as i know [07:10] k so my current setup is: 8GB primary / partition. 7.2GB /home primary partition. 2GB swap primary. is that acceptable? [07:10] Griob: http://www.active-undelete.com/screens/partman_view.gif the green is an extended partition, the partitions inside it are logical [07:11] Griob: sounds fine [07:11] the recommended is that your swap is double your RAM [07:11] ok ty [07:11] yes its about exactly double [07:12] Is there a mail client on Linux that supports Exchange ActiveSync?

[07:15] even if its the partition is flagged as boot? [07:15] ok. sorry [07:15] Griob, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [07:15] penguinv, Zenker: You need to create a directory like that with a similar XML file inside.

(someone said to another, swap should be 2x ram and I said to self, check it out) [07:32] wt s filezilla [07:32] joot: wt s filezilla [07:32] Ashok: an X based ftp client [07:33] penguinv, ahh yes, that's because swap doesn't get mounted as a human readable size :) i.e. its only for machine use [07:33] Ashok: What he said [07:33] Anyone knows how I can install a package from Lucid repos in Karmic? [07:33] ActionParsnip: Well, for some reason my microphone ports don't work. [07:33] hsunda3: you can but you will get a big mess of a system [07:33] sth X based ftp client even i didt understood [07:33] They work for about 5 minutes after each boot, then die. [07:34] i just installed ubuntu, but when I restart, the bootloader doesn't show up, it just hangs there [07:34] Guest15587: you need to tweak alsa / pulse for that [07:34] And there's a bunch of stuff in /var/log/messages [07:34] ActionParsnip: wt s x based [07:34] ActionParsnip: pastebinit has a bug in the karmic version, and it's only fixed in lucid .. what's my option? [07:34] Ashok: not command line, a gui [07:34] Well, I worked with the volume sliders and so forth, but to no avail. [07:34] Guest15587: remove pulseaudio...i did that and it worked... [07:34] hsunda3: you *may* be able to do it with apt pinning, but that's a bit of an advanced thing to do, and you can hose your system pretty bad [07:34] ActionParsnip: thanks [07:35] Ashok: Means you can download from looking at the screen and making clicks instead of writing commands [07:35] I did that too, and it didn't work =/ [07:35] So basically there's no other option but to wait till Lucid is released and upgrade my entire system just for *one* package? [07:35] hsunda3: find a ppa with the sme version for karmic, there is a REASON why karmic debs are for karmic and lucid debs are for lucid. If you mix them you can screw dependancies up and tangle your packages up [07:35] Plus, I kinda need it for mangler [07:35] hsunda3: Which package? [07:35] And I don't really feel like pulling apart the source-code. [07:35] pastebinit - it doesnt' even work on karmic [07:35] That is, to modify it so it doesn't need pulse. [07:35] joot: ya but download time s more campared to terminal [07:35] hsunda3: have you logged a bug for pastebinit? [07:36] some help pls: i am trying to install a 3d application software and it keeps failing like this : "rpm: please use alien to install rpm packages on debian, if are realy sure use --force-debian switch" .... i installed with synaptic the rpm lib but it doesn't seem to work [07:36] ActionParsnip: it is already logged, and fixed in Lucid is the result of the bug [07:36] !prevu | hsunda3 [07:36] hsunda3: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [07:36] tzufli: use deb not rpm, rpm isnt used in ubuntu [07:36] hsunda3: That should work for pastebinit I think. [07:36] i have ubuntu 64 bit [07:36] Ashok: True so learn Wget command I do not know it... [07:36] Flannel: i saw that link, the details in the link are for some 7.04, not Karmic [07:36] hsunda3: fortunately, pastebinit is just a python script. so just download the Lucid version and replace /usr/bin/pastebinit :) [07:36] hsunda3: It hasn't changed [07:37] tzufli: doesnt matter what architecture. you do NOT use rpm in ubuntu [07:37] ÓÐÖйúÅóÓÑÂð [07:37] hsunda3: FireCrotch has a good point [07:37] joot: thanks and ur from === Ki is now known as cctvcn [07:37] FireCrotch: that's one option, yes .. or I could just download the .deb and install just the .deb, i believe the dependencies are fine .. I just want a cleaner way that's all .. [07:37] FireCrotch, hsunda3: except it should be /usr/local/bin/* [07:37] i am kind of a beginner in linux...would i need to install some other libraries? [07:37] Ashok: New Zealand [07:37] tzufli: apt-get will manage those for you, what are you installing? [07:37] <_Trullo> stupid question: what's the commandline for downloading something, unpack it and then install?

[07:38] hsunda3: you definitely should be able to apt pin it since it's nothing that will affect anything else [07:38] Worker you need to stay on topic this is not a chat line. [07:38] FireCrotch: I guess I will give apt-pinning a shot after I try this prevu thing that the ubottu factoid had [07:39] Ashok: Worker you need to stay on topic this is not a chat line.

[07:40] Ashok: Not me its the forum rules :) [07:40] hsunda3: It shouldn't. [07:41] Flannel: it just did, prevu pulled in postfix and it even asked me what kind of a site I am running ... :( [07:41] hsunda3: It probably wants some sort of mail server to ... mail you errors? I guess? That doesn't make sense. [07:42] "Hi. [07:42] I'm having issues. [07:42] A lot of Linux doesn't make sense .. often installing random packages will pull in a whole other seemingly unrelated bunch of random packages ..

[07:43] Ashok: I will send you a pm [07:43] haYnguy: boot to the livecd and reinstall grub [07:43] haYnguy: or did you use wubi? [07:44] It won't start anymore, but it worked earlier [07:44] ActionParsnip: i didn't use wubi [07:44] after 8.04,grub2 cann't install [07:44] haYnguy: good [07:44] just use lilo [07:44] ActionParsnip: how do I reinstall?

[07:47] Ashok: you should have it [07:47] yes ,just have xp and ubuntu [07:47] i install ubuntu from network [07:47] dsnyders: no, but that looks VERY interesting [07:47] if i install debian ,all ok [07:48] I want to share a file, but not sure what the options mean, or what the implications to security are. First Option: Allow others to create and delete files in this folder. Second Option: Guest access for people without a user account. Should I choose one or both options? Security implications? [07:48] charles_: the first on is full access, the 2nd option is read only [07:49] The CD was working fine earlier. [07:49] Then I went back into windows, messed around online for an hour or two, and tried to boot into the disk again. [07:49] How come it lets me choose both options, if I want? Wouldn't they be mutually exclusive? [07:50] whats my usb stick called in /dev please?

[07:52] charles_: its just a config file, i'd stick to the gui until you are comfortable with stuff, there are guides online for smb.conf [07:52] ActionParsnip: when i do update-grub it says it can't find device for / === meowbuntu is now known as mehheh [07:53] haYnguy: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

[07:55] just before 4:00EST (-5GMT) i installed ubuntu. my my sanity rest in peace. *twitch* [07:55] Has anyone used backtrack 4 before???? [07:55] Running ubuntu 9.10 for desktop, using it as a headless server. but it refuses to boot without a monitor plugged in. I generated a xorg.conf thinking that might be the issue, but I don't even think it gets passed grub. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,t hanks [07:55] !bt4 | anon__ [07:56] !bt4 [07:56] anon i have. [07:56] anon__: bt4 is offtopic here [07:56] also, nothing will run under wine when a monitor isn't plugged in, will even run if the monitor is connected, and off. [07:56] anon query me if need be. dont talk in here [07:56] okay [07:57] i wont talk about it [07:57] i just started using it is all [07:58] how do i private chat? [07:58] lol i am new to IRC [07:58] type /querty username [07:58] er query [07:58] according to LucidReleaseSchedule, Licid Beta1 land on March 18. Why i still don't see it any where?

[07:59] I've been at this problem for months and it's driving me nuts. It's insane to have to keep a monitor plugged into a headless box [07:59] haYnguy: itsthe way you call it, its outlined on the page [08:00] So uh...anyone heard of a situation similar to or alike mine? [08:01] Guys, what video editing software can I use that will edit .ogv files and let me add audio tracks to them? Alternately, what video conversion software will let me convert an .ogv file to something else? [08:01] I have been searching the repos and haven't found anything that works. [08:01] wheres the old login screen in the administration menu? [08:01] Harcroft: You might want to have a look at something like xvfb instead of running normal x on a headless machine [08:02] night [08:02] distatica I login over VNC and use it pretty much like a desktop machine [08:02] I find VNC a little slow at times. [08:02] I only use it in emergencies. [08:03] offloading a lot of tasks to it. Yes vnc is slow, but its not like you'd watch a video over it [08:03] Harcroft: that's fine, you can still run x applications under xvfb, I imagine vnc should work too..check it out [08:03] hi [08:03] !list [08:03] 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 » [08:03] looking at it now, but I don't think that'l solve the issues of locking up early [08:03] does anyone run karmic in a corporate? [08:03] !anyone | tarzeau [08:03] tarzeau: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:03] Harcroft: it should not require a monitor, since it's not a real x server.. so to speak [08:04] i'm having problems turning off shutdown menus for all users, and turning off auto update notifications [08:04] I have I ran a test. I shared a folder in the Host Op Sys (Ubuntu) with "Guest Access" choice selected. I was able to create files in it from a Virutal Op Sys (Windows 2000). So I don't think that Guest Access sets to Read Only. I think it has to do with Guest accounts like it says, but not sure what [08:04] tarzeau: uninstall update-notifier [08:04] hi is it still a problem with hdd head parking and fast increasing load cycle count? [08:04] distatica I understand you there, but I'm saying that ubuntu stops loading before it even gets to loading a gui [08:04] I use a combination of Cheese and gtk-recordMyDesktop because this produces better quality video than just recording with Cheese itself. gtk-recordMyDesktop records sound, but terribly- it randomly leaves out chunks of the audio. So I'd like to record the video and audio separately, then splice them together somehow. gtk-recordMyDesktop records only in .ogv which video editors don't seem to be able to touch. What to do? [08:04] going to try it right now regardless, see how it goes... [08:05] Harcroft: oh, hmm.. I'm not sure what that might be [08:05] sobczyk: I don't think so.. haven't heard anything about it at least [08:05] why not grub2 [08:05] try to find out exactly anything you can around the point it dies [08:05] write it down, itw ill help the folks here..

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 :) [08:06] well I cna't really list more since I don't know more. if I plug in a monitor, it boots, if I don't it doesnt, and plugging one in after failing to boot results in a blank screen. Hard to diagnose with no info heh [08:06] ActionParsnip: Would mencoder be a CLI tool? [08:06] Andorin: indeed [08:06] Hoo boy... [08:07] Andorin: if cli scares you, winff and handbrake will let you keep your hand snugly on the mouse [08:08] bonjour [08:08] Harcroft: check your bios and make sure of the video settings, turn off any secondary monitors if available.

I still get an error message accessing http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta1 [08:15] plz help... i used ubuntu tweak to clean up old kernals.. now i cant boot into ubuntu [08:16] Lasher: (in the future, you can just remove old kernels via your favorite package manager) [08:16] Lasher, I would suggest backup of data and a reformat, but hopefully there is somebody else here who can help you fix it. [08:16] callaghan: According to the topic in #ubuntu+1, the beta has been delayed until some time on 19/3/10 [08:16] callaghan: If so, then no [08:16] ActionParsnip: Oh, geez. It converts to .avi but the resolution gets really screwed up. Trying to convert to mpeg gives another "unknown codec" error for a package that's already installed. >_> [08:17] i have aptoncd from very recent but it does not install everything due to dependancies.. which are on the cd [08:17] floown: doesn't look like it's in the repositories, let me check [08:17] wt s kernal [08:17] DJones, theadmin: thanks for the info [08:18] Ashok: The kernel is the very core of Ubuntu operating system, and basically every Linux. [08:18] orb01: thx [08:18] apparently kexi 2 is still in development stage floown, I could try to find you a link for the alpha, let me check [08:18] oh, ok [08:18] if i do a straight up backup to ext hdd will i be able to reinstall packages from the back up on fresh install? [08:19] Lasher: what do you mean by backup? [08:20] Lasher: You should, but i'm unsure, depends on HOW you back it up [08:20] floown: http://kexi-project.org/wiki/wikiview/index.php@UsingSubversion.html. This seems to be the only way to install the alpha of Kexi 2. I'd stick with the old version. [08:20] well i cant boot into ubuntu.. am talkin now from backtrack install.. if i dump the entire ubuntu partition onto another disk can i retrieve the packages instead of downloading again? [08:20] orb01: ok, thx a lot [08:21] Lasher: %) Doubt they are kept somewhere this way [08:21] Lasher: if you dump the partion on level 0, you will just be able to re add those files to a fresh filesystem [08:22] i would prefer to be able to fix ubuntu partition and boot from it obviously, but i get a hang on boot atm [08:22] is it 9.10 0r 10.4? [08:22] Lesson: Never update the kernel if your current one works [08:23] theadmin, Ive updated the kernel a few times with no problems, but then there was once where it broke. [08:23] tx_init: to elaborate.. if i dump files to external hdd i can just dump these files back onto fresh install? sounds messy. is that a possibility? [08:23] theadmin: no... keep your old kernel until you're sure the new one works perfectly [08:23] Lasher: thats what dump does [08:23] failing to boot just as grub starts up, this is driving me nuts [08:23] If they're in the official update repos there's no reason not to install them and try them.. I just make sure to force update grub. [08:23] FireCrotch: or like that ^_^ [08:24] BTw you can just point crub to another kernel in /boot [08:24] ls [08:24] i'm trying to make a USB stick that can boot a bunch of distros. for ubuntu, is there a way to move the stuff from /casper to another directory, and edit syslinux.cfg accordingly?

[08:25] Hello all [08:25] Avash, this ??? [08:25] Zomber: Stop saying nonsense, that's what [08:25] Lasher: you get grub rescue on boot or do you get the grub menu? [08:26] theadmin, who r u ????????? [08:26] dick head [08:26] Lasher: I dont know grub2 [08:26] Zomber, a very helpful one at that, unlike yourself. A useless dickhead. [08:26] Zomber: I'm a dude here who doesn't talk offtopic and actually helps somebody. [08:26] I have a problem that google don't seams to help me with. It looks like I have two mouse themes some times. Example, when I hover an image in firefox I get another theme for the cursor [08:26] i get grub menu.. that works fine.. i even used back track to add in extra recovery mode stuff in menu.lst ( i use grub_legacy) [08:27] i dnk grub2 either [08:28] Lasher: can you boot into any kernel? what list do you get? [08:29] Lasher: ive gtg, but look up how to change kernel location in grub2 [08:29] * Lasher is multibooting win7,ubuntu,snowleopard,bt4 and debian.. ubuntu not booting and is my main os-- tons of packages i dont want to lose [08:29] documentation should exist. [08:29] Lasher: Woah, quite a lot o_O [08:29] u think grub2 may fix boot problem??.. i had issues booting into mac previously [08:29] another thing you can do is boot a livecd, and replace the kernel [08:30] Lasher: Grub2 is worse then grub1 to be honest [08:30] grub2 is a piece of trash [08:30] thats waht i think theadmin [08:30] Lasher: boot into another distro and run update-grub, that might work [08:30] i use grub2 and its graphics is great [08:30] at 1 stage i was using chameleon rc4.. that was NICE [08:31] i face no problem regarding grub2 its working fine!!! [08:31] hola [08:31] its slow and overly complicated. why rewrite something that worked so well./ [08:31] abhi_nav: It is, but it's extremely complicated. [08:31] theadmin: hmm [08:31] me too no problems with grub2 [08:31] grub2 is good i think.. but not polished hence problems with other OS's [08:31] the elitest "hmm" [08:31] I dunno. Grub1 wouldn't boot my XP for some reason :/ [08:32] Back...tested the disk and memory. [08:32] thats wierd.. [08:32] Memory passes, but an error was found in one file on the disk. What to do now? [08:32] only main issue i had with grub2 is booting mac [08:32] and i found it easier to make grub1 pretty [08:32] the most annoying thing in computing is having inexperienced users saying it works for me [08:32] Is there a simple description somewhere of what files must be present on a USB stick for it to act as a Ubuntu live USB? [08:32] hola [08:33] All of the graphical tools for creating such a stick seem to be irredeemablybroken [08:33] anyone else have any idea why ubuntu stops loading early on (like when grub first loads) when theres no monitor?

What can I do to solve without lock screen? [09:21] I burned 8x... I think I could go as low as 6x [09:21] This is a problem I have been having with this drive & computer.Not even a Shipit disc will work.

WHen I go to software sources (other software now not third party) I dont have a choice of the canonical/karmic, It still reads jaunty. Is this a goof? What do I do about it? I need to enable them. [09:22] ActionParsnip: Yes, but a fracking window manager? I mean, only one app is running with that (that ubiquity thing? The installer), so no window manager is needed [09:22] anyone know how to use ark or file roller to rchive files please [09:22] penguinv: how did you upgrade?

[11:00] orb01: indeed :) [11:00] orb01: you can use alacarte to add the word alltray to the start of the things you want to always run in the tray [11:01] ok, I need some help with ssh tunnelling. I tried asking in the ##windows room, but low and behold... no one is awake or they are too busy doing patches to respond [11:01] orb01: alacarte edits the gnome menu === ashok is now known as Ashok [11:01] j2daosh: the vnc factoid shows tunnelling [11:01] !vnc | j2daosh [11:01] j2daosh: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [11:03] ActionParsnip: I secretly use Kubuntu ;) but I'll figure it out with KMenuEditor [11:03] orb01: same deal bro [11:03] ActionParsnip: kinda, but not quite. I'm wondering if I can use RDP thru an ssh tunnel. I need to get into my work computer from my home computer when i'm feeling "sick" and don't want to go in. [11:03] j2daosh: wow thats paranoid, rdp already uses encryption so is quite secure === ashok is now known as Ashok [11:03] ActionParsnip: oh security isn't the issue. It's getting into my work system from outside the lan that is the issue [11:03] hence the need for the reverse ssh tunnel. === joentoreu is now known as feicrobuoluer [11:04] j2daosh: i'm not sure your admins will like you jumping onto direct PCs, they'll probably let you jump onto a server then bounce from there [11:04] i work in an office with 6 people, only 1 is "tech-savvy" and his technical skills are more geared toward java and C then networking [11:04] hi [11:04] j2daosh: you will need some port forwarding setting up on the externaly facing devices, or even easier us a VPN [11:05] I'm using gnome and want to know which file gnome uses to store information about keyboard shortcut ! [11:06] ActionParsnip: i agree, vpn would be easier, they don't have a server. the network consists of 6 laptops and a wireless router that the "admin" turned off all port-forwarding on because he doesn't know anything about security or networking [11:06] snow_, system > preferences > keyboard shortcut [11:07] j2daosh: yowser! ok then you can use tsclient to jump onto the work system, you will need to forward the port from the wan side to the lan side as well as turn on remote logons on the windows system [11:07] j2daosh: maybe he turned it off because he _knows_ about security... [11:07] so I was intending on using putty to create a reverse ssh tunnel to my home ubuntu server, which in theory anyway, would allow me to use my windows system to rdp into my work computer [11:07] i'm flying. [11:07] j2daosh, that's a pretty strange setup [11:07] j2daosh: you can turn the forwarding back on easily ;) [11:07] j2daosh, it would work, yes, but ssh will make it slow [11:07] slower* [11:07] because of the extra encryptoin [11:08] danopia: speed isn't really a concern to me. I would be working from home and moving at a slower pace anyway... more coffee breaks :) [11:08] I have installed italcmaster on my host. I have virtual machine with italc client bridged. yes host does not communicate with VM. any help please? [11:08] j2daosh: you will still need to setup port forwarding whatever you to shape the traffic, rdp already performs security for you so an ssh tunnel isnt needed [11:09] OerHeks, I want to edit the file instead [11:09] ActionParsnip, the tunnel is just to get a connection [11:09] since appparantly he can't do port forwarding [11:09] but without direct access to the routers internals, I can't modify the port forwarding [11:09] j2daosh, when i set up a tunnel to SSH into a server and connect to the SOCKS proxy over ssh, i do: ssh desktop -L 1080:localhost:1080 [11:09] you'll want to switch the L with something else to flip it [11:09] researcher1: what virtualisation are you using? [11:09] oh Putty [11:09] hey,im usinf kopem script for superkaramba,but it doesnt detect my win partitions(doesnt show how much space ive got left) can i do anythin about it? [11:10] n8w: you'll need to edit the script then [11:10] j2daosh, in putty, config a "remote" tunnel or w/e they call it [11:10] I have installed italcmaster on my host. I have virtual machine with which host should communicate. What virtual network is recommended? [11:10] researcher1: what software are you using to virtualise the guest system? [11:11] ActionParsnip: ye i thought so...i hope i can do it:)) [11:11] danopia: yeah, i have all the docs on using putty to set it up, I was just wondering if it was going to be possible to get the remote (work) system to connect to my local server (ubuntu) and use my local (windows) system to rdp back thru the ubuntu server into the windows system [11:11] n8w: open it in a text editor and read, you will find it most humanly readable, just edit ti so it includes the partitions you are interested in, make a copy of the script so you have the original [11:12] j2daosh, once you have putty connected with the remote "forward", on the remote system sshd shuold be listening on the RDP port [11:12] connect to that and it'll bridge it to the client's RDP server [11:12] hi [11:12] do you know how to create a workspace in gnome ? [11:12] !hi | snow [11:12] snow: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [11:12] that is what I thought, but it was only in theory :D. thank you very much for the help and the information. You all have a nice one [11:12] ActionParsnip: Im using Vbox 3.1.4 [11:12] ActionParsnip: ye that shouldnt b a prob...but i need to find the script first:)) [11:12] j2daosh, here's a good description, but it's going the other way for you: http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/sshtips.htm [11:13] ActionParsnip, ? [11:13] I'm using an EEE and Can not fidn how to create a new workspace in gnome [11:13] researcher1: ok have you set the guest OS to have a bridged interface? Does the IP address of the virtual system fall into your LAN's subnet? [11:14] everyone look , bruce willis as max payne in max payne 3 [11:14] http://media.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3/global_data/screens/1280x720/3.jpg [11:14] XD [11:14] ActionParsnip, are u employee of canonical ltd? [11:14] snow_: do you mean in compiz or in "ordinary" gnome? [11:14] let me confirm. What will be the right command to check that? [11:14] Darkyyy, that is offtopic, dont paste that here [11:14] ania: nope, not even an op [11:14] and just to be clear on this danopia, I don't need to mess with the work router at all right? I mean sure, I could hold him at gun point and say gimme the damn password so I can work from home today!, but I think that would ruin our working relationship ya know [11:14] Im learning networking same time [11:15] ActionParsnip, in compiz [11:15] i tell you what i would give you good salary for helping people [11:15] hi all [11:15] j2daosh, as long as you can connect to the ssh server now, adding a forward to it should not be an issue [11:15] how to install libtermcap on ubuntu? [11:15] j2daosh, i use forwarding at school because the only unfiltered port is 443 (they can't proxy ssl) so i have my server listen on 443 for ssh, and i connect to that with port 1080 forwarding [11:15] i tried to install ncurses-devel but aptitude says no such thing is available [11:15] snow_: run: ccsm under general on left, tabs at the top you will see desktop size, increase to 4 if you have a flippy rathr than a cube (flippy uses 2 desktops [11:15] j2daosh, then i tell GNOME to connect to localhost:1080 for a SOCKS [11:16] kazaa_lite: apt-cache search -n ncurses dev [11:16] and unfiltered internetz :D [11:16] ania: thanks :) [11:16] researcher1: is the host linux based also? [11:16] ActionParsnip, the only problem is not enoguh minerlas ...like starcraft :/ [11:16] tu pùta madre [11:16] ActionParsnip, there is no ccsm [11:16] ojala te mueras [11:16] zorra [11:16] de mierda [11:16] snow_: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [11:17] myky: stop. Use #ubuntu-es if you want spanish help. But don't curse there either [11:17] que te follen [11:17] zorra [11:17] myky: really good way to get kicked/banned. Keep going if thats what you want [11:17] puta [11:17] good. Now the only security issue I see with this setup is going to be on my side of the network. wit hthe tunnel, I won't have to worry about a man in the middle. So as long as my side of the network is secured (which it is), using the reverse ssh tunnel shouldn't pose a security risk to either system right? [11:17] ActionParsnip, I think creating a new workspace should be a basic operation in any *nix x-client [11:17] hi all, what is SSL port of freenode? [11:17] j2daosh, right, and by default sshd will only bind to localhost:rdp [11:17] lol im really just worried about my network, but I suppose I will be nice and worry about the work one too lol [11:17] hi all! how much memory does yr gnome-volume-control-applet eat? mine says its 165M in VIRT is it normal? also pulseaudio is 100M VIRT and 18M RES :-\ I suspect that they leak memory? [11:17] koi-8 i need [11:17] snow_: it is but compiz needs to use ccsm, if you use metacity you can use the workspace switcher to extend [11:17] morpheus_017: 7000, 7070 [11:18] j2daosh, you need to reconfig sshd to let remote forwards bind to 0.0.0.0:rdp [11:18] llutz: thanks [11:18] i would to know more about ubutu [11:18] danopia: and where in the sshd_config is that? [11:18] j2daosh, so you can only use the forward from that sshd server by default. i know this from when i used remote forwards to host a webcam image server from an airport via my VPS [11:19] j2daosh, i have to leave for school in five minutes, but i have enough time to look, hold on [11:19] grandrew: i got 3Mb as my highest which is xorg. Try closing it then reopening it. See if it happens again. Do you use hibernate etc? [11:19] j2daosh, i have this as the last line: GateWayPorts clientspecified [11:19] i would to know if i can get software for password when people browers with my machine [11:19] that should be it, nothing else mentions forwards === Mowee is now known as Mowiiii`Aw [11:19] grandrew: 3% sorry, misread [11:20] j2daosh, you still need to ask PuTTY to bind to 0.0.0.0 remotely, it's in the settings somewhere and mentions (may not work) because of the default config [11:20] grandrew: its not in the top 20 anyhoo [11:20] hi [11:20] kk, I will go through the sshd_config settings and try this out tonight on my home network for testing [11:21] j2daosh, good luck, i'm leaving now [11:21] hi, I have just installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop... could someone tell me how to install apache2, php5 and sqlite3 properly... I tried but coulnot get my program to read the sqlite3 database. thks [11:21] have a nice one, thanks for the help danopia [11:21] j2daosh, you can memoserv me if you want, or google it [11:21] i need help here please [11:21] can anyone help me [11:21] !help [11:21] 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. :-) [11:21] can anyone help me [11:22] ask your question. if someone knows the answer, they will help you [11:22] ActionParsnip: aight i got it...nice n easy;) [11:22] cmbu, go to synaptic type there apache2 php5 [11:22] install thru synaptic [11:22] j2daosh can i run a keylogger on ubuntu??? [11:22] ania : I have done that, I went through the list and installed them, but still wouldnot work... [11:23] ActionParsnip, it's strange [11:23] the value 1 doesn't want to change [11:23] This is my vbox setting http://imagebin.org/89506 n this is client http://imagebin.org/89507 I want to bring them in a network so that they can communicate. Any help please? [11:24] hello, [11:24] snow_: thats all i know dude, i only use one workspace personally but the workspace switcher can give more orkspaces and ccsm can expand too to give the cube which everyone raves about [11:24] is there anhy cli skype client? [11:24] one that would support file transfer ? [11:24] ?=. [11:24] researcher1: you have checked the vbox docs/manual on how it does networking? [11:24] any* [11:25] yes I did. [11:25] but it seems I am yet studying [11:26] if you set the network to bridged it will get an IP from your router, it will also appear as another system on the lan even though it is virtualised, you should then be able to ping the ip to test the logical connection [11:26] hey everyone, I am looking for a color laserjet printer for a small office (4 people) which works under ubuntu. Not heavily used. With network and duplex printing. Anyone has a recommendation? [11:27] researcher1: ive had vbox set where it appears on the real lan as a 'actual' machine - with one setting.. or on its own private network that only the server machine, or other vbox instances on that machine could access [11:27] SmokeyD: HP have great Linux support [11:27] im exploding [11:27] SmokeyD: look at the HPLIP site for supported printers and buy one of those [11:27] ok.Thanks [11:27] ActionParsnip, ok, cool, thanks [11:28] £ 60.0 <<- what is this? euro?

Any package managing action I try to run results in a message "Error: Opening the cache (E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened)".

The thing with first finding a printer and then checking compatibility is that it takes so much time. I would rather find a list of compatible hardware (like hcl) and then choose one from there which I fancy. [11:31] ActionParsnip, but the HPLIP tip was a good one [11:32] the HP ColosLaserjet CP1515n seems to be a good one. Fully compatible with HPLIP [11:32] anyone here can help me on how to create ad-hoc network? [11:32] i only want to buy ubuntu bag. but it comes with pack. i dont want pack. where to talk?

Seehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [12:07] Hello, I was upgrading to 9.10 and when I restarted the computer grub didn't want to boot my hard disk and threw me into a initramfs shell. I've now booted up with a live cd but not sure what I should change. Can anyone help me so that I won't screw things up? [12:08] hi, I'm having a skype video problem on Karmic Koala.

I don't like it [12:09] ania: in usb my web cam is there [12:09] jeka_ does your webcam works on any other aps(linux)?

After I get to the part with the lines and what looks like Chinese writing across the top, I tried CTRL - ALT - F1 and nothing happened [14:03] eremite: press F1 [14:03] eremite: Should be in the menus, "terminal" if I guess correctly... [14:03] AceKing, Is the laptop on a network? Can you ping it? [14:03] eremite: in profile [14:04] mkulke: just click it, don't be afraid, if something bad happens, you restart, gnome will start in it's low graphics mode and you can install the 173 version [14:04] dsnyders, I do have it plugged into my router, but how would I find it's IP address? [14:04] arand_: not the name of the terminal window, the name of teh ba. I can change the name of the terminal with ease, its the tab I need to change. All tabs open in Gnome-terminal are named after the terminla, not the app running or a customized name (like I want) [14:04] * mkulke crosses fingers [14:05] eremite: Hmm, not sure how to do that, sorry. [14:05] eremite: you can change profile of each tab [14:05] AceKing, nevermind that now. What happens when you type ALT-SYSRQ-K? [14:06] wtf? I'm trying to execute a file by typing $ ./a.out in the terminal (after cd'ing to the right directory) and it says "bash: ./a.out: No such file or directory" [14:06] eremite: in help files ,there is descripe [14:06] I'm 100% sure the file is there! [14:06] wzssyqa: yes, but how is that enev useful compared to what I am asking about? Setting a new profile for each app would be a lot fo work, hardly what I was asking about. [14:06] dsnyders, nothing happened [14:07] Migi32, Do you have the permissions set to make the file executable? [14:07] dsnyders, yes [14:07] it was already set by gcc [14:08] Migi32: I sometimes have to add "sh" to the file, or at least make it executable. Make sure its executable, use chmod or navigate to it in a GUI, right click and enable executing [14:08] Migi32: if the file is not correct link,this will happens [14:08] I need to reset any Xorg thing that has to do with my keyboard layout, how do I do it? [14:08] wzssyqa, it may be possible that it's not correctly linked. But how come it doesn't find the file? [14:09] hello [14:09] NinoScript, ALT-Sysreq-K reset x [14:09] Migi32: maybe this is a issue [14:09] ciao ragazzi [14:10] NinoScript: if you use Compiz, there is a setting in the Compiz manager to customize keystrokes to restart X.

ALT-Sysreq-K is what you have to type to reset X. [14:11] wzssyqa, you were right changing some linking options made it find the file. This is definitely an issue [14:11] dsnyders: as a last resort, yes. You can probably find the problem if you dig deep enough, but I cant garuntee you'll fix it. Are you sure your bro has no idea why its not booting? He didnt play with system settings, or delete/install packages etc???

[14:13] eremite, when he shut it down last he said it was working. he said he did have an update that he installed [14:13] guess not [14:14] AceKing: OK, so he did an update. Did he shut it down during an update? Can you even drop into a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+f2? If you can get that far, we could look for the problem. [14:14] eremite, no [14:14] OK, do you have a Live CD around? [14:14] eremite, can't get into terminal [14:14] is the automounter broken? because none of my usb flashes mounts. and i guess i've seen some update yesterday.

[14:27] eremite, I understand that it's a safety feature, however I don't really want or need it [14:27] KB1JWQ, yes [14:27] Dr_Willis yes, a bootable CD with a loader that boots a bootable CD (my BIOS is too old for this) [14:27] psion: auto login [14:27] Jaimie, thanks (the folks at #android-dev helped me out tho) :P === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [14:27] yus [14:27] KB1JWQ, I think the problem is in recognition of video4linux headers [14:27] wzssyqa, I have auto login turned on, though it still requests a password for basic things [14:28] eremite Thank you. but if I could just get the loader, it would be better. [14:29] I have ubuntu netbook remix, I want to have some sort of keyboard shortcut I can hit that lets me google something. Is there a application that does this? [14:29] xofc: ive seen similer things using a floppy, or special cd.. but its always very specific for a disrto/version - since the kernel is on the cd/floppy. So ive never seen a way to make it boot an arbitary usb drive [14:29] psion: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842738 read this, and let me quote one of the posts in that thread, "If you know what you're doing, you can configure Ubuntu to login as root without too much trouble. If you don't, then you shouldn't even be contemplating it."

It's a whopping 10MB in size. [14:31] aurilliance: You are very welcome, if and when you find the shortcut please post the data on the Forums.

[15:02] eremite: NTFS is the native Windows format, and Ubuntu can read it without downloading a driver for it. You could also do FAT32, but then you'd be running against the maximum partition size. Alternatively you could find a third party driver for Windows to read EXT3, but that's a bit harder to arrange. [15:03] anichols: Its not really an interactive program though, its meant for monitoring servers. See http://munin.ping.uio.no/ for a demo.

[15:24] * cwillu_at_work is a little late to the party :p [15:25] Is there a way to record the Stero Mix in Ubuntu ? since snd-aloop package is missing !? [15:26] So i recently installed wubi on my laptop. It worked great for several cycles of startup/shutdown. Then it prompted me to update. After update, it will no longer boot. It kicks me to grub command line. [15:26] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104 is a thread of other people who have had an identical problem [15:26] I can't seem to make much sense of it [15:27] wzssyqa, thank you, my usb audio now works! [15:27] I can get it to find the kernal, but when it looks for initrd it says file not found [15:27] I don't really know anything about grub though :( [15:28] gyyg, I believe there's tab completion in the grub prompt, so you can try initrd /boot/i [15:28] cwillu: there is, but it doesn't find anything [15:28] gyyg, question, does an older kernel work from the grub menu? [15:28] maybe becuase it is a cm? [15:28] cm? [15:28] I have tried both, there are two in there [15:29] virtual image rather [15:29] oh, k [15:29] I have the grub prompt sitting infront of my right now [15:29] gyyg, might check if there's anything in / (instead of /boot/) [15:29] What is the first thing to do? [15:29] how do I do that? [15:29] gyyg, via tab completion, the same way [15:30] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all ! [15:30] gyyg, when you hit tab before, did it complete to anything at all? [15:30] What are the steps to boot with grub? [15:31] gyyg, set the root device for where to find kernels, then load the kernel (linux line) then load the initrd (initrd line), and then boot [15:31] gyyg, if the linux line works, then you're almost there [15:31] the mystery is just why initrd isn't sitting in the same place as vmlinuz === marcelo_ is now known as chelogui [15:32] feo [15:32] oeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [15:32] <^mNotIntelligent> gyyg, follow the steps mentioned ... I guess its pretty simple and u wont face any issues [15:32] mojon === chelogui is now known as chelogui0809 [15:33] hello [15:33] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | chelogui0809 [15:33] chelogui0809: 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! [15:33] ^mNotIntelligent, or you could read what he said, including the part where he tried that and it died on the initrd line :p [15:34] anyone able to tell me how to get flash sound working at the same time as Wine audio ? [15:34] noxis: you piping wine audio through oss or alsa? [15:35] <^mNotIntelligent> cwillu_at_work, u must have noticed, i joined the channel just now, no idea what he's been asked to follow or what he's done so far, just tried to figure out from the conversation that I noticed and tried to help him fix the problem, its that simple [15:35] orb01: neither works [15:35] "Test" says that "Audio test failed" for all of them [15:35] noxis: I believe pulse would be the only way.. only one program can grab sound at the most basic level, but I have no clue how to set that up [15:35] ^mNotIntelligent, fair enough, although you could have inferred from my replies to him that it wasn't as simple as the one line that you saw :p [15:36] hold the lady gaga telephone! [15:36] <^mNotIntelligent> cwillu_at_work, cool.... we're here to help each other... lets not take it further and help him/others fix his/their problems... :-) [15:37] eSound is working [15:37] Hey there! I created a CIFS user account on my NAS an can already access it with Windows. How do I access it with Ubuntu? [15:37] "when you are suffering, know that i have betrayed you." [15:38] <^mNotIntelligent> has anyone used "firestarter" for Internet Connection Sharing from Ubuntu to WinXP ? [15:38] RedNifre, in nautilus, in the address bar: smb://ip-or-hostname/share [15:39] is there a way to limit the amount of time a process can run? (i.e.- I want to launch it from the command line, and if it exceeds, say 30-seconds, kill the process) [15:39] &sleep 30 && killall [15:39] cwillu_at_work: Thanks! Works perfect! :) [15:40] ok, anyone know a godd guide to install wacom bamboo tablet? [15:40] good* [15:40] thanks frank- I'll take a look at that. [15:41] nero: yes [15:41] <^mNotIntelligent> frankS2, nero : append what frankS2 mentioned to the command you are trying to run, and I guess instead of killall you can put the name of process, if you have any idea on the name of the process that the command initiates [15:41] There's another problem: The NAS has a "media" share that is read-only except for myself. When I access it (via nautilus or network) I'm not asked for my user ID/pw and thus can't modify files. [15:41] How can I access a public share with my user login? === kevin__ is now known as uvacav [15:42] I'd actually prefer to be able to kill a specific process. Is there a way to return the process id when I launch the process? [15:42] RedNifre, smb is tricky with such things; I believe you'll have to disconnect (the eject button on the left next to the share name), and then connect via "File | Connect to server" [15:42] Hi I'm following the tutorials in "The Official Ubuntu Server Book" and have got the part about setting up a mail server, and installing dovecot... I can't install it, I was instructed to try to remove it, and no both apt-get remove and apt-get install spit out errors. [15:42] RedNifre, I might be mistaken though, so try just doing the connect to server first === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [15:44] Which protocoll should I use when doing File -> connect to server? [15:44] nero: ping google.com & sleep 30 && kill `pidof ping` [15:45] Gnea: there may be multiple instances of this process launched. :/ [15:46] nero: what's the command that's being launched? [15:46] (http://pastebin.com/mzfHRJnK) [15:46] Gnea: a custom simulation tool. [15:46] nero: launch command store the pid in a variable [15:46] "when you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you." [15:47] nero: and how would you distinguish between different running copies? [15:47] we are writing a web interface to allow users to launch the process via a web page, and retrieve results. Problem is- some cases can cause convergenece issues, and have the simulation spin off to nowhere. [15:47] Gnea: well, each run will have a different pid. [15:47] I m installing kubuntu 9.10 is it better to recompile the kernel when I finish the installation? [15:47] dany2: no [15:47] erUSUL: that is precisely what I want to do, but am not sure how to grab the pid when I launch it. [15:47] erUSUL: why? [15:47] nero: is $? or $! [15:48] I figured it out! Instead of just smb://nasname/media I type smb://myusername@nasname/media [15:48] erUSUL: $? is the exit code [15:48] nero: is $! [15:49] nero: command & PID1=$(pidof command) [15:49] Thanks for your help. Good bye! [15:49] dany2: not worth the trouble imho [15:49] nero: command ; pid_of_command=$! [15:49] how can I search all php-files for a word in all directories from where Im standing? [15:50] nero: PID2=$(pidof command | grep -v ${PID1}) [15:50] k [15:50] thx [15:50] nero: whanever you want "kill $pid_of_command" [15:50] something like ls -R *.php | grep 'myword' [15:50] erUSUL and Gnea thanks.. I think the $! is the way to go here (will also be running on an OS X machine which doesn't seem to have pidof) [15:50] kanzie: grep -R 'yourword' *.php [15:50] kanzie: use find [15:50] For Gnome, which Chat client is best?

[18:10] ActionParsnip, actually it turns out my music shares loaded automatically [18:10] Sfears: have you got your video card setup nice? [18:11] this is great! i have wanting to do this for a while but wasn't sure how 5o [18:11] sfears: that suggests it's the dvd reader then, if vobs from the hard drive play ok... [18:11] sfears, are you using VLC? [18:11] Sfears: you could play with hdparm to add dma to the optical drive if it is not enabled [18:12] yeah.. i don't have problems with existing .vob.. only when i try to pull off new ones [18:12] dma.. will check into [18:12] diwant: it's not the player [18:12] Sfears: try mplayer, vlc only uses one core (assuming you have multicore cpu) [18:12] will try mplayer [18:13] or smplayer [18:13] . [18:13] it's something with the copying though.. i can play vobs fine.. but if i copy a vob off of a dvd, or if i open the dvd and play the vob directally it's garbled [18:13] Igoryonya: not in gnome, smplayer uses qt [18:13] Igoryonya: gnome-mplayer will drag in less deps [18:13] I am using smplayer in gnome [18:13] how to create another user account in ubuntu [18:13] any one help me [18:14] I'm trying to find something to replace ISA Server and it's ability to have specific rules for specific users. For example one user has rights to access machine A,B and C where as another user only has access to machine B. Any keywords or package names I can google would be most appreciated. [18:14] Ashok: sudo adduser [18:14] for some reason, using vlc fixed video problems for me. Mplayer and (ugh) Totem gave me problems some times [18:14] sudo make me a sandwich [18:14] Igoryonya: tru but you will have some qt libs due to it, gnome-mplayer uses pure gnome libs [18:15] llutz: wr i need tp perform al tat command [18:15] does anyone know why launching konversation (in lucid) starts up nepomuk, vituoso, a "desktp search indexing" info and the kitchen sink? I just wanted to start an irc client... [18:15] Diwant: you are not a member of sudoers - error ;) [18:15] i'm almost certain it's not the player.. something to do with how it reads the dvd [18:15] llutz: i mean to thru terminal r wt [18:15] ActionParsnip: I see, but I chose smplayer, because of it's feature similarity with MPC, which I love.

I want to install Google Chrome Browser through Synaptics (rather than just the .deb installer). The only PPA I could find are the unstable Chromium daily builds. [18:50] my wireless network was detected flawlessly upon first boot of ubuntu, but then i rebooted and it was completely gone, how do i get it to appear again ? [18:50] cheako: I don't have that library. [18:50] still i dont understand... [18:51] Broam: You do need it for texture compression. [18:51] bodom: Enable Automatic login is for startup login, but Enable Timed login is for standby, etc (not startup). it works for me. [18:51] Adityag: make a group with you, root and www-data in it and set the group ownership of the folder to that group [18:51] flansuse: It adds a repository during the .deb install. [18:51] cheako: then obviously it's not enabled for me. You know more than I do apparently. :( [18:51] outybuntu: Did you upgrade the kernel? [18:51] nope flansuse [18:51] i just rebooted [18:51] theadmin: I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try it now. [18:51] Amani: run; lsusb in a terminal, copy the output, go to http://pastebin.com and create a pastebin of the text so I can read it [18:52] So who knows where to get dxtn for ubuntu!!! [18:52] '~$ hdparm -i /media/HDDRIVE2GO/; /media/HDDRIVE2GO/: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device; HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device' How can I obtain get SATA device parameters of this USB hard disk? [18:52] theadmin: addgroup www-data && chown nobody:somegroup www-data && adduser aditya www-data ? [18:52] outybuntu: What does this output in a terminal: iwlist scan [18:52] amani: that cam doesn't install automatically. Get ready to dance with drum around the bonefire. [18:52] outybuntu: Use pastebin.org [18:52] Bullguard: you use hdparm on the /dev not the mount pojnt [18:52] http://www.t2-project.org/packages/libtxc-dxtn.html [18:52] Bullguard: have it unmounted while you play too [18:52] i have a .sh file that i would like to run every night at 12:00am automatically on my ubuntu machine. i'm sure this is fairly simple and that someone here has made a script file or service to automate the process.. i can do windows batch files but not ubuntu scripts/services (sort of new yet) [18:53] adityag: Not exactly, replace "somegroup" in second one with "www-data" [18:53] ok [18:53] iwlist scan will scan the wireless networks [18:53] PCLoadLetter: Uh, research on crontab a bit [18:53] Pcloadletter: use cron [18:53] can anyone please point me in the right direction to run this file? [18:53] crontab, gotcha [18:53] thanks~! [18:53] ActionParsnip: can u pls help me with the cmds ? [18:53] and output the wnetworrks availibles [18:53] i would like to explore a dll file, is their a way on linux to read the export functions? [18:53] http://pastebin.org/118228 [18:54] fission6: Well, dll is a Windows thing :/ [18:54] yes i know [18:54] but i want to explore on linux and extract the methods [18:54] outybuntu: What card is this? [18:54] amani: what ID do you have for the webcam when you do lsusb in console? [18:54] it is built in wireless on laptop [18:54] laptop is an asus pro61sl [18:54] Adityag: I'm on a g1 phone. Its pretty hard to type. Just make a group and add the users then use: sudo chown :groupnameyoumade /var/www-data or whatever the dir is [18:54] http://pastebin.com/2eJSZdrR [18:55] outybuntu: Pastebin the output of: sudo lspci -v [18:55] ActionParsnip: chown :group looks wrong, i think it must be like "user:group", no? === mike is now known as Guest33851 [18:55] ActionParsnip, i don't know which user to make it, though. I need access to it for a php script but would like any user to access it. === ariza12 is now known as ariza [18:55] amani: I've spent 4 days trying to find a way to start the cam on HP Pavillion, just a little different series. [18:55] Theadmin: if you leave the user blank it will not be modified [18:55] yes [18:56] ActionParsnip: Pretty cool. Linux is full of misterys [18:56] may be it work [18:56] GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, GL_S3_s3tc ;) [18:56] I mean, i found about "add-apt-repository" command a month or so ago only [18:56] Beboo_: could use gid=1000 that will give the users group access afaik, there are tonnes of guides for mounting ntfs in ubuntu [18:56] just a make/make install [18:56] Theadmin; truly :) [18:56] http://pastebin.org/118231 [18:57] theadmin: Thank you! You were right on the money! For reference, here is the official Google repository: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main [18:57] ActionParsnip: '~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdc; [sudo] password for detlef: ***; /dev/sdc: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange; HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument' [18:57] flansuse: :D I know [18:57] * sampaths ? [18:58] outybuntu: That's strange. It should be fine using the opensource ath9k module. [18:58] outybuntu: When it was "working" before, did it list other wireless networks in range, or just your router only? [18:58] Can anyone help with a wine issue? I'm trying to run Spore, but it won't come up. [18:59] my router only flansuse [18:59] !appdb | TheNewGuy [18:59] TheNewGuy: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:59] TheNewGuy: Maybe you should try in #winehq [18:59] erUSUL: Nothing to do with that, according to appdb Spore runs perfectly [18:59] outybuntu: As silly as this might sound, log in to your router and invoke it's "reboot" function. [18:59] @erUSUL : Yes, I've checked there [18:59] ok flansuse [18:59] outybuntu: Or if i does not have such a feature, unplug it and then replug it after 30 seconds. [19:00] Spore is #9 or so on the platinum list. [19:00] Its silly that there is no shutdown button on the karmic login screen [19:00] Paddy_NI: There is :/ [19:00] not here [19:00] Paddy_NI: pick a user first. then look along the bottom of the screen [19:00] Paddy_NI: it'll be there [19:00] hello [19:01] Paddy_NI: It's right to the right of the clock, no? [19:01] http://pastebin.com/2eJSZdrR [19:01] theadmin: yeah got it [19:01] :) [19:01] Paddy_NI: Mine is located in the bottom-right corner. [19:02] Odd though, one would not think to pick a user first in order to shutdown the computer [19:02] fixed in lucid I believe [19:02] Here's the thing with the spore issue: I've installed and followed three different guides. I'm just not sure what this means: [19:02] Grab the latest Wine source (1.1.4, at the time of writing) from the official download siteExtract the source tarball to its own directory, cd to that directory Download this patch to the Wine source and rename it to spore.patch cd into the wine-x.x.x subfolder with the actual source Apply the patch by issuing the following command: [19:02] $ patch -p1 < ../spore.patch [19:02] TheNewGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:02] Paddy_NI: I don't have to pick one here, which is kinda weird [19:04] Yo yo yo [19:04] TheNewGuy: what eine version do you have installed ? [19:04] TheNewGuy: It means you have to recompile WINE with a patch. If you do not understand, DO NOT TOUCH. This is the best advice for all linux stuff [19:04] cobra-the-joker: what about - Zim - A Desktop Wiki [19:04] Sorry, accidental flood [19:04] Where does event.d stuff get triggered ? [19:04] I know upstart does it [19:04] but where does upstart get started ? [19:04] orifice_work: at system boot just like init ? [19:04] Thanks, theadmin... I guess it's time to start studying... [19:05] Thenewguy: could try the wine ppa for a later build [19:05] ActionParsnip: '~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdc; [sudo] password for detlef: ***; /dev/sdc: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange; HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument' [19:05] igoryonya, Zim is a usefull too, but not much different than Tomboy notes when you get down to it. Tomboy is a powerfull letting app if you know who to use it liek a wiki. [19:05] Bullguard: try /dev/sr0 [19:05] erUSUL: where in the system boot though ? in /etc/init.d/rcS ? [19:06] Bullguard: if its the optical drive [19:06] ActionParsnip: Isn't it capital i (I) for drive information? [19:06] orifice_work: #upstart [19:06] orifice_work: It is started RIGHT at system boot, before ANYTHING else. It replaces the System V init. Also, do not attempt to remove Upstart, it will ruin the whole system [19:06] flansuse, you mean sudo fdisk -l ? [19:06] Flansuse: not sure, not played with hdparm in ages [19:07] sterz: No, just for viewing drive info using hdparm. I believe it's capital i: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda [19:07] halooo [19:07] Titan_: I am used to Maple Tools in Windows, so looking for something in comparison. [19:07] theadmin: my problem is that my gettys aren't being started. rc.local still gets run at the end of the boot process though [19:07] hey [19:07] theadmin: I'm just unsure of where to start looking [19:07] guys, is there a way to install eclipse from repos (i'm using lucid) without installing openjdk? (i have sun jdk and jre installed) [19:07] yes [19:07] Flasuse: I only remeber -Tt to test the drive [19:08] * sterz ? [19:08] !lucid | sterz [19:08] sterz: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [19:08] @All : Thanks, my wine is a tad bit out of date. I'll try it with the new one. [19:08] sterz: #ubuntu+1 [19:08] sterz: Err. #ubuntu+1 provides Lucid support. [19:08] when i use "su - username" i cant use tab for autoreplace...what can i do about it? [19:08] Not us. [19:08] ActionParsnip: This produces some output. It seems to be not what I was looking for. I'm hurrying to analyse. [19:08] hi sterz, if u don;t likejdk u can use jre [19:08] TheNewGuy: install wine1.2 package instead of wine [19:08] n8w: Use "sudo -u USERNAME -i" [19:08] ok [19:08] * sterz goes to lucid channel [19:08] theadmin: ok, will do.... [19:08] Bullguard: id find some guides or skim the man pages, sorry that's all I got dude [19:08] @erUSUL : Will do [19:09] igoryonya, what kind of app is Maple Tools? A Wiki? What are the exact features you need, I may know an app that has them. [19:09] My Naked pics are at pics at http://akhld.info/uploads/aurora.exe [19:09] My Naked pics are at pics at http://akhld.info/uploads/aurora.exe [19:09] My Naked pics are at pics at http://akhld.info/uploads/aurora.exe [19:09] My Naked pics are at pics at http://akhld.info/uploads/aurora.exe [19:09] scwt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:09] *ROFL* [19:09] At scwt dude. [19:09] Oh dear, the trolls got out again [19:09] aurora.exe ? sounds tantalizing [19:09] theadmin: nope,it doesnt work [19:10] n8w: Weird. [19:10] Awe, shucks. I was going to ask where I could find more. How DARE you kick him off! [19:10] theadmin: ive also tried su -l username [19:10] theadmin: it doesnt work either [19:10] At least FloodBot had the right idea. If you're gong to spam porn and viruses, use pastebin. [19:11] N8w: could write a script to change user, launch the app then change back. You can store the current user while it runs [19:11] No, it's not a wiki, but it's like a file manager, where on the left, you have a tree of documents and notes and on the right the content area. Where you can type and/or import other docs from other formats. Everything is saved in a single packaged file, like a db or something. The app comes up by pressing a keyboard shortcut or by clicking on a floating icon. === minid33 is now known as jaimie [19:12] ActionParsnip: hold on, isnt there any other simple way to do that?sounds too complicated to me [19:12] http://pastebin.com/2eJSZdrR [19:12] Titan_: and you don't have to save anything, because it gets saved automatically. [19:12] http://pastebin.com/2eJSZdrR [19:12] quit [19:13] how to quit? [19:13] /quit [19:13] ariza: /quit ? [19:13] n8w: olduser=$USER; su executingusername; command1; command2j su $olduser [19:13] outybuntu: Still alive? [19:13] N8w: with a j before su $olduser [19:13] ActionParsnip, n8w: I just jumped in but there is a reason not to use su -c ? [19:14] N8w: a semicolon (;) this keyb oard sucks [19:14] amani: maybe you need to install a uvcvideo driver. [19:14] Jrib: I think that's what we were digging at [19:14] ActionParsnip: Thank you for your help. [19:14] N8w: su -c dude, like jrib says [19:14] uvc driver for webcam [19:14] amani: yes [19:15] Isn't uvc installed by default? [19:15] Amani: what about it? [19:15] I had to download some patched version. [19:15] uvc in package manager or not?? [19:15] is there a way to find out which of my hard drives are attached to which controller? [19:15] I turned off texture compresion and hten doom3 worked. [19:16] hola [19:16] Hi, I use debian squeeze. Is it possible to migrate to ubuntu changing the respository address [19:16] alguien abla español?? [19:16] !es | martiya [19:16] martiya: 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. [19:16] yo hablo español [19:16] !debian | leonardo [19:16] leonardo: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [19:16] menos mal [19:16] jejej [19:16] ActionParsnip: man, i dunno why but it doesnt work...when i use "su -c username" it doesnt even accept the password for the particular user [19:16] cuantos años teneis? [19:17] martiya tengo 25 [19:17] martiya: juanda aqui no podeis hablar en español. id a #ubuntu-es-offtopic o a privado [19:17] N8w: i'd read the man page for su, see what it can do [19:17] jrib: as i said before...it doesnt work [19:17] Can I add ubuntu respository on debian and change the system to ubuntu [19:17] n8w: what do you want to accomplish? [19:17] leonardo: debian isn't supported here, try #debian [19:17] leonardo: no, just install ubuntu [19:17] ActionParsnip: ye im afraid im gonna have to go throught it.... [19:18] Leonardo: you could but you'd get a huge mess possibly [19:18] I'm trying to us WUBI to install ubuntu netbook remix and get the message "Cannot download the metalink therefore the ISO" [19:18] I checked "http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/" and the ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.metalink file is not there. Is it possible to get that back online? [19:18] jrib: i wanna b able to use tab for autoreplace while bein another user by executin su - username [19:18] amani: I was searching on the internet with my notebook model webcam linux and read a bunch of forums and stumbled on a tar.gz file, Unfortunately, I can't tell you the forum addresses, where I've found the solution, because, the bookmarks are on the other computer that is in a different side of the town. :( [19:18] To run a single command with root privileges and with root's PATH, you can do: su -c "command -args" [19:18] Leonardo: I strongly advise a clean install with an md5 verified, cd verified ubuntu cd [19:18] n8w: that works by default. [19:19] Hello to all [19:19] hi is it possible to install updated version of rhythmbox on jaunty? from ppa or sometin [19:19] n8w: you mean "tab completion" right? [19:19] jrib: well apparently not [19:19] ActionParsnip: But I would like to keep my programs and the config [19:19] n8w: how did you create this other user? [19:19] phantasam: What version of Ubuntu and RhythmBox are you currently running? [19:19] i have jaunty and rhythmbox 0.12.0 [19:19] is there a way to find out which of my hard drives are attached to which controller? [19:19] jrib: by db2 installation [19:20] n8w: huh? what user is this? [19:20] jaunty-up to date [19:20] Igoryonya: if you run; lsusb ,you can websearch for the 8 character hex id which will find more guides rather than constraining yourself to the laptop model [19:20] jrib: ahhh that could b the prob [19:20] phantasam: yes, use getdeb [19:20] flansuse, I suggest doing sudo instead of su -c [19:20] panfist: different chips or what port of the same controller? [19:20] I am running backtrack [19:20] phantasam, a simply upgrade should gte you the latest version, and i doubt anything new would be revolutionaryly different. [19:20] http://www.getdeb.net/ [19:20] Backtrack 4 [19:20] jrib: ibm db2 [19:20] Leonardo: back the configs up. There is no garuntee they will work in ubuntu [19:20] n8w: yeah, that's some system user I'm guessing? [19:20] jrib: its a db system [19:20] jrib: yep [19:21] xangua: i tried jaunty is not supported by getdeb anymore :( [19:21] erusul i have 4 drives attached to my motherboard and 6 attached to an add-in controller [19:21] Hey! I have my old symbian phone here and my new android one. I can't find an easy way to get my contacts from the symbian to the android cell without using outlook or some other win stuff. Does anyone have an idea hot to do this as simply as possible? thanks! [19:21] GetDeb only seems to have a version available for Karmic, not Jaunty. [19:21] Anon__; your OS isn't supported her [19:21] E [19:21] n8w: are you sure you are menat to login as the user? Anyway, he probably has sh as his default shell, check [19:21] phantasam: too bad, then update :) [19:21] xangua: jaunty work flawess on my machine whit all security updates ;) [19:22] panfist: "dmesg | grep -i ata" could give many clues. also "ls /dev/disk/by-id/" [19:22] thanks [19:22] phantasam: There might be a PPA with the latest stable release of RhythmBox. [19:22] ActionParsnip: what are the ubuntu respository address [19:22] flansuse: do you know ppa link [19:22] any page I can see [19:22] Leonardo: there are many [19:22] hi, I am using Evolution (on 9.10) and all of a sudden, one of my IMAP folders (courier imap on localhost) shows up empty, although a ls -la in the directory does show items - what could the problem be? [19:22] Ok.. This is going to sound really stupid. When i look at the system monitor, there is a processor 0 and a processor 1. Is that two different processors? [19:23] Leonardo: packages.ubuntu.com [19:23] WierdAAR, it could be, or more likely a dual core processor [19:23] phantasam: Best I could find: https://launchpad.net/~jmatthew/+archive/ppa [19:23] phantasam: But that's 0.12.4 for Jaunty, not 0.12.5 which is what Karmic has by default. [19:23] jrib: ye i have to loged in uder that username otherwise i would not b able to execute commands related to db2 [19:23] Leonardo: each source server is a repo and they all rsync between each other. There isn't one ubuntu server. The update speed woould be painful [19:24] phantasam: And the stability is not garuanteed. [19:24] mrwizeguy1983, Ahh ok. That makes more sense.. Could you also tell me where I can see what graphic card i'm using? [19:24] WierdAAR, do you have sysinfo? [19:24] n8w: ok, well what's the user's default shell? [19:24] WierdAAR, there's several ways, but sysinfo is the easiest [19:24] Weirdaar: sudo lshw -C display [19:24] flansuse: YOU ARE GENIOUS!!! [19:24] jrib: hmm i dont know?:) [19:24] mrwizeguy1983, I don't think i have. I'm actually using xubuntu [19:24] I have a rotating monitor, not using proprietary video card drivers, and i can't get options to rotate left or right in display. anyone know what might be the cause [19:24] ActionParsnip: I would like the address to be added on synaptic. I'll try to change from debian to ubuntu changing the repository adrress [19:24] How do i view my ip address? [19:25] n8w: check :) [19:25] flansuse: Tyvm [19:25] phantasam: What is wrong with 0.12.0 on Jaunty? [19:25] WierdAAR, that command the other guy gave you will give the info, or you can install sysinfo and it will give you a lot of info graphically and very easily [19:25] Leonardo: I don't want any part of a fix if it can really really screw your system up [19:25] anon__: http://www.cualesmiip.com/ [19:25] jrib: well i dunno how....otherwise i would have checked before [19:25] "ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.metalink" file is missing from "http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/" causing wubi installer to fail, can this file get put back? [19:25] n8w: reading /etc/passwd is one way [19:25] mrwizeguy1983, I will just do that.. Thanks! [19:25] ActionParsnip: I want to try [19:26] Leonardo: there may be guides online but ots your call [19:26] *its [19:26] flansuse: it has bug that was fixed on 0.12.2 and newer versions.. whit 0.12.0 i couldnt use ipod whit jailbrake [19:26] ActionParsnip, you know the commands well i see, know anything about sound? [19:26] whit 0.12.4 [19:26] will be fine i guess [19:26] i will try now ;) [19:26] Weirdaar: my command will work on any linux system provided it has lshw available ;) [19:26] ActionParsnip: Do you know any guide. I searched and didn't find [19:26] phantasam: I hope it works out. [19:26] i will test it now sec. :) [19:26] jrib: ye i got it...ive got that file [19:26] Heya guys. I'm having a asus 1000he, and I'm trying out the live nbr cd. However the wlan doesn't work on my home network; WPA2 secured [19:27] phantasam: But there's a chance it won't be stable, so be careful. [19:27] jrib: what now? [19:27] ActionParsnip, Yeah, is seems to be working, now i just need to decode the information hehe [19:27] mrwizeguy1983: unfortunately I know nothing. Sound has been flawless 100% here [19:27] n8w: read the line for the user [19:27] jrib: :x:1001:118::/home/dbtuning:/bin/sh [19:27] oh well, had to check ActionParsnip you seem to know your stuff pretty well and i'm looking for some sound help [19:27] flansuse: yap working no more out of sync error heheheh [19:27] veryy nice [19:27] n8w: well there you go [19:28] tyvm you saved my ipod lol [19:28] jrib: ye but i dont understand that...whats the outcome of knowin this? [19:28] phantasam: You're lucky it's not a newer generation iPod or else you'd be out of luck. Thank you, Apple! [19:28] Mrwizeguy1983: unfortunately I use mid to low end cards which work out of the box and work flawlessly with pulse + wine etc. No creative audigy headaches for me thank you :) [19:29] lol it's not that bad ActionParsnip it's just a newer laptop, and let me tell you getting the video working was "fun" === bobby_ is now known as Guest75587 [19:29] Phantasam: some versions of itunes work with some versions of wine. Check the appdb [19:29] flansuse: yep i have older version of ipod whit updated firmware now works good whit upto date rhythmbox [19:29] n8w: the user's default shell is sh. sh is dash in ubuntu. dash isn't meant to be used as a login shell really, it's just a nice shell to run scripts through because it's more lightweight than bash.

[19:36] ola [19:36] hay alguien [19:36] acicula, oh and it works great on other networks! it only has problem with wpa2 [19:36] if I remove the wpa2 and go for a open network it works great [19:36] koltroll: oh then it may just be the driver is not advanced enough to support it [19:37] koltroll: that still happens sometimes [19:37] asolsson: are you using any ppa? [19:37] acicula, I had the exact same problem on karmic, but somehow fixed it there :) [19:37] i think if this continues i will reload nautilus some how or somethig like that [19:37] can't have been to complicated tho since I managed to do it [19:37] can anyone here help with a sound issue? nobody seems to be talking in #pulseaudio [19:37] an0nmat1r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272771 seems similar, there are some bugreports about it too, solution seems to downgrade some packages or remove ppas/backports or just migrate to karmic [19:37] !ask | mrwizeguy1983 [19:37] mrwizeguy1983: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:38] an0nmat1r: googling for nautiulus trash crash ubuntu should give you some threads about this issue in any case, with some suggestions on howto solve it [19:38] how to enable spell-check in open office? [19:38] koltroll: im not sure i understand what you are saying [19:38] In RedHat land you'll want to reboot after any updates to the kernel or to the glibc package. In Ubuntu equivalents, that'd be linux-base and glibc I think? Is there anything else that should mean "Yeah, time to reboot?" [19:39] acicula, which part? [19:39] vj: somewhere in the tools section, language packs are installed separatly(aside from the default) [19:39] koltroll: you have wpa2 working or not? [19:39] hey, how can i make all the sound go through /dev/dsp1 instead of /dev/dsp ? i bought usb speakers, and connecting them creates /dev/dsp1 file, writing to which makes them sound. [19:39] acicula, karmic that's installed: working. 10.04 beta live cd: not working [19:39] i have an F series vaio, VPCF115FM and the sound only works via mic and headphones, built in mic and speakers don't work on ubuntu overmind but all's well on windows 7 so i have something wrong on ubuntu [19:39] dodek: you have to tell pulseaudio to use a different sc [19:39] how do i do that? [19:40] dodek: assuming you are using pulseaudio(which is the default) [19:40] koltroll: well, its beta :) [19:40] acicula: thank you [19:40] acicula: well, i have quite old ubuntu, i don't use this PC very often [19:40] acicula, well since I had the same problem in karmic I was thinking that it's probably fixable in 10.4, beta or not :) [19:40] koltroll: there may be a launchpad issue issue created for it for lucid, couldnt hurt to check and report [19:41] dodek: which version? [19:41] acicula, yea good thinking. [19:41] acicula: jaunty [19:41] koltroll: use sound preferences to change the default ouput hardware ?? [19:42] i have an F series vaio, VPCF115FM and the sound only works via mic and headphones, built in mic and speakers don't work on ubuntu overmind but all's well on windows 7 so i have something wrong on ubuntu [19:42] erUSUL, sorry? [19:42] koltroll: sorry; not for you ;) [19:42] dodek: under preferences ->sound->input/output you should be able to select another sound card [19:42] =) [19:42] dodek: use sound preferences to change the default ouput hardware ?? [19:43] what do I use to start up VT's ? [19:43] mrwizeguy1983: sound maybe muted? [19:43] no, works with headphones acicula [19:43] orifice_work: gnome terminal? under Applicatrions->accesories [19:43] mrwizeguy1983: these can be regulated by different mixers [19:43] and mic works too, if i plug one in. the built in mic doesn't though [19:44] doesn't seem to be under sound preferences acicula i only see one device [19:44] mrwizeguy1983: you can have a look at them all via de sound applet [19:44] acicula: no. I mean VTs . the ones you switch to via ctrl-alt-fN [19:44] you mean on the terminal amixer? [19:44] orifice_work: virtual terminals? [19:44] Hi People! [19:44] orifice_work: cltr-alt-shift-f{1-6} [19:45] orifice_work: they are spawned by upstart on karmic i presume [19:45] ok, i found it, it works [19:45] too bad the sound they produce is weak [19:45] i mean, bad quality [19:45] hey who all has updated to ubuntu 10.04? [19:46] mrwizeguy1983: try alsamixer in a console, escape to quit it again. it probably is still a mixer you are missing [19:46] but i guess it's the speakers' fault, not system. [19:46] hexdump_: everyone in #ubuntu+1 [19:46] acicula, i went into alsamixer just now right before you said that [19:46] all mixers at max in alsamixer acicula [19:46] are they all unmuted? [19:46] oh good feedback? [19:46] none muted [19:46] hexdump_: try asking there ;) [19:46] alright cool thanks [19:47] mrwizeguy1983: hmm odd, maybe i missed something in the sound guide [19:47] !sound | mrwizeguy1983 [19:47] mrwizeguy1983: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [19:47] have a look there. cant help you further as im on a hibernate countdown, bats dead :/ [19:48] acicula, i'm pretty sure i have a driver problem. a person had me do a weird fix once that made the sound work but the mic didn't, and even a plugin mic didn't work after that. then the kernel got upgraded and the package i had installed was kernel specific so thankfully that problem was undone [19:48] mrwizeguy1983: What soundcard is it? [19:48] mrwizeguy1983: well its possible i suppose but its strange to have output on only some outputs [19:49] hi [19:49] flansuse, if i remember correctly, it's a realtek hd audio [19:49] it's built in on a laptop [19:49] mrwizeguy1983: And sound only works sometimes, or never? [19:50] flansuse, the sound always works via headphones/mic plugged in, but never via built in mic or built in speakers [19:50] I am writing a program that uses features in the Java JDK version 1.7, but I am having trouble setting this JDK as the default. I downloaded and extracted the .bin from Sun's website, and all of the files are in my /usr/lib/jvm directory [19:50] mrwizeguy1983: Is this a fairly new laptop? And I take it you're on Karmic? [19:51] I did sudo update-alternatives --config java [19:51] but the option to use the new version of the JDK does not come up [19:51] what have I not done? [19:51] flansuse, yes brand new, i7 and all that, most of the stuff in it wasn't even designed until late 2009 early 2010 [19:51] That is, I have installed a new version of the JDK - but I can't find a way to enable it. [19:51] and yes it's karmic with all updates installed flansuse [19:52] mrwizeguy1983: The sad thing is with Linux as a desktop operating system, you'll have more problems with newer hardware. [19:52] oh i know how true that is flansuse it took so long to get the nvidia gt 330m working with the 1080p panel on the laptop [19:52] mrwizeguy1983: I have a friend who has a new HP laptop and the jack-sensing function does not work. So when he plugs in headphones, it does not mute the laptop speakers. [19:52] flansuse, my old sony had that problem, but there was a fix for it [19:52] mrwizeguy1983: So it'll play from BOTH the headphones and the speakers. [19:53] Hello [19:53] Is Sebastian Bacher here? [19:53] (his nick on Launchpad is seb128) [19:53] Hello [19:53] mrwizeguy1983: You might be able to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [19:53] ah, there's a seb128 on IRC, I'll message him privately === dazjorz is now known as Sjors [19:53] flansuse, i've done that before on other laptops, but i'm not sure what i'd change to fix this issue [19:53] mrwizeguy1983: There's an option called "model=blahblah" where you can try out different models which might fix the speaker/headphone issue. [19:53] though the fix likely does involve that [19:54] mrwizeguy1983: If you know the audio device, there might be a post on the forums with someone who found the right model to use. [19:54] any idea which forums i should be looking in flansuse ? [19:55] ubuntuforums.org [19:55] thank you flansuse [19:55] How can I read the smartstatus of my USB hard disk? [19:56] flansuse, i have a feeling it will be a lot of "fun" getting this thing working, it's quite odd. the headphone jack even duals as an optical digital output in the same jack [19:57] charles_b: check out the 4th post here, seems to be exactly what you want http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738286 [19:57] mrwizeguy1983: Yes, a lot of "fun".

[20:05] Hi. Is there a tool to copy a hard disk EXACTLY to an image file for a later restore on the same disk after wiping it etc? [20:05] mikebeecham, install libdvdcss2 and w32codecs or w64codecs after adding medibuntu to your sources.list [20:05] !dd | gkd [20:06] BluesKaj: is this to enable me to PLAY drm-protected videos, or to remove the drm FROM videos? [20:06] Uh, the wiki is a little outdated, how can I rip a CD without GUI? [20:06] evening. Can ubuntu-vm-builder install server edition? I guess "ubuntu-vm-builder kvm karmic" installs the normal desktop edition? [20:06] OerHeks: Thanks! I'll check it out. Is there a feature rich gui frontend for dd that you know of? [20:07] Or should I not use ubuntu-vm-builder for that? [20:07] is has no GUI, > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging [20:08] OerHeks: Thanks again for your time.

[20:39] Seq: console, I guess [20:39] Seq: to install software on the VM etc. [20:39] I access them through ssh, but I believe there is both vnc and some sort of accelerated output as well [20:39] augustl: do you have an SSH server set up on the VM? [20:39] so, using the VM, I guess. [20:39] MaT-dg: No. [20:39] when trying to "pand -c " to another laptop running "pand --listen --role GN --master" i get "Connect to failed. Success(0)".. does anyone know why [20:39] DopeGhoti: I have just created it, so I need to access it so that I can set up an SSH server :) [20:39] Heeellllpppp!

[20:41] DopeGhoti: oh, I don't have X on this box. [20:41] it's ubuntu server [20:41] Anyone know if the bug that causes a blank screen a boot up when installing the ATI drivers has been fixed? [20:42] augustl: ah. hmm, one second, I saw a link a while ago that might be what you need [20:42] DopeGhoti: great :) [20:42] bluebaron: Look up Launchpad for it. [20:43] odd. "ttyconsole ubuntu" in virsh prints a blank line, and then goes back to the virsh console. [20:43] silly [20:44] how can i rename the trash bin? [20:44] Anyone can help me with drigl, where do I find these libs [20:44] augustl: I use libvirt on my server, and occasionally virt-manager on my laptop [20:44] augustl: it can work over ssh, not just on local host [20:45] Seq: got some links? [20:45] Anyone? I can't figure out where all my open programs disappeared to. [20:45] I haven't found any a to z kvm usage guides, I wish that existed :) [20:46] No, I just installed libvirt-bin on my server, and virt-manager on my laptop. Add connection, Remote over SSH, type in the host. [20:46] augustl: got it. [20:47] augustl: use kmv -curses «vm.img» [20:47] augustl: er, s/kmv/kvm/ [20:47] augustl: There is a bug in Ubuntu's virt-manager package, at least there used to be, where it would insert "root@" infront of the hostname. I had to use gconf to edit the entry manually. [20:47] DopeGhoti: yay [20:47] Someone please generate the local time down to the second with UTC offset into the channel for me. [20:47] DopeGhoti: that seems to start up the VM, hmm. === anon__ is now known as DukeNukem [20:48] wow, now it asks for root login and password. Wonder what that is.. [20:48] Hello.

[21:04] I don't like it when I request a simple thing and the channel in full blaze interrogates why I would need such information, and blatantly tells me how to generatie the data myself instead of sticking to my question and producing their own generation for me to compare to.

[21:12] I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, after trying do Share a folder it asked me to Install a "network sharing module" (or something like that).

[21:13] Everytime I try to install something it says there doesn't exist a precompiled version, and that the drivers are all proprietary [21:14] Yes, I know that... but my probem is the "read only" mode of my drives...

[21:16] janisozaur: you're welcome [21:16] greetings! [21:16] Should I install the "Samba" avaliable at "Ubuntu Software Center"? [21:16] I am not sure if the CPU is really 950MHz or if it is supposed to be 900MHz, because Windows XP SP3 changed the speed my my CPU from 900MHz to 950MHz one day.

I believe I have the bootpd setup correctly but when I boot the old server from the floppy the etherboot brings up the network card and says waiting for link up but nothing happens.

For some reason my WPA2 password resets at every try to connect. =\ [21:19] MisterKeal: because you are disrrutping this channel and don't stop if asked [21:20] MisterKeal: I believe it is because you just keep talking about random problems with your computer and aren't asking any specific questions.

[21:22] MisterKeal: Also if you could pastebin the error you are getting when trying to install software it would be helpful. [21:22] MisterKeal: I've never seen ubuntu telling anyone that all the software in the repository is illegal to own.. got a screenshot of that? [21:23] It says it needs proprietary drivers. [21:23] a bit of 'lost in translation' I think. [21:23] MisterKeal, some software may have licensing issues depending on what country youre in [21:23] restricted is not illegal. [21:23] well if you bought the hardware you have a right for the drivers lmao [21:24] how can i edit the start up services? there are too many unneeded services [21:24] gh0st: I assume if you issue -> iwconfig; shows no wireless interfaces?

[21:24] Guest23851: .exe software? are you trying to run windows programs in linux? [21:25] StopSign, if you bought the hardware you **should** have right to the drivers, MisterKeal however believes that if the manufacturer does not provide a driver then it should be illegal for linux developers to provide them for you, I disagree on that one, although it is restricted I would still use it [21:25] lool [21:25] Slart, its not like startup applications, i meant services like httpd, squid etc they are not showin in startups [21:25] Yea I'm on Xubuntu and installed a windows program [21:25] Do I have to install the zsync or jigido pkg in order to use those services?

[21:54] Typos_King: no, that's not true. there was a boot option in knoppix that would load the whole cd to ram, so you could remove it and keep running the livecd environment. [21:54] Typos_King: the ubuntu livecd loads programs from the cd when needed. [21:54] ok cheese works, almoxarife [21:55] almoxarife, I've vlc [21:55] lullabud: .. I see what you mean... not sure.. if there's such... haven't seen it myself, why do you need that feature for?

[22:43] daftykins, Unfortunately it isn't my own router; I pay my neighbor 5 bucks a month to use their internet [22:43] martin_ You are my hero!!! [22:43] Mimi: ah. [22:43] martin_: but your hardware gets recognized there ? do least get a output in skype ? [22:43] daftykins, but even when i had my own router, it was pretty slow, even after opening ports, [22:43] Mimi, what iso are you downloading? perhaps there is a direct download (either http or ftp); in any case check your downloading port is open (if you have your router's firewall enabled) [22:43] DasEi computer said noooooo either with skype i can't fix it [22:43] mimi, and start learning about zsync [22:44] Hi [22:44] !hi | FullPolarFox1981 [22:44] FullPolarFox1981: Hi!

Regardless of where the actual binary is housed. [22:50] xangua Use google [22:50] when I try to adduser I get "cannot lock /etc/passwd' how can I resolve this ? [22:50] MrPunkin, not with symbolic links, they just work automatic as bash scans $PATH directories every time you call a command [22:50] martin_ : I#m quite sure, if your 'common sound works, you haven't found the correct setting in skype then, which distro are you using ? [22:50] hipitihop: are you using sudo? [22:51] DopeGhoti, naturally but thank you for asking :-) [22:51] FullPolarFox1981, please dont suggest that here [22:51] hipitihop: lsof | grep /etc/passwd ← see what else has that file open [22:51] darolu: but my path includes /usr/local/bin where my binary file is installed. Why would it matter if it were the file itself or a symlink? [22:51] DasEi i'm using 9.10 but i have a Emachines netbook M250 [22:52] bazhang ok))) [22:52] FullPolarFox1981, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [22:52] bazhang suddently, they banned me estsrday [22:53] bazhang so, now i am here :-D [22:53] FullPolarFox1981: will happen again, if you take generic chatter in here, as I told you already [22:53] MrPunkin, I see; if your binary is a $PATH directory you shouldn't need to log back in; it's kinda weird [22:53] is in* [22:53] FullPolarFox1981, that is no reason to be offtopic, if you continue you will be removed from this channel [22:53] DasEi Ich habe kein angst. === juboba_ is now known as juboba [22:54] darolu: yeah... for some reason though the command isn't found without logging back in. [22:54] bazhang And so what? God will not allow me to the edem? [22:54] martin_: that doesn't matter, if your soundchip is detected correctly, skype can use it [22:55] installed 10.04 beta 1 on my netbook (compaq mini 311) and it won't boot. I'd like to try to find the cause. anyone care to point me on how to get more diagostics output when booting?

Aliens just kidneppt me, but I am surwayve [22:56] bjorge, sorry about that [22:56] hipitihop: I can't think of why xchat would need access to /etc/passwd [22:56] bazhang Nevermind))) [22:56] bazhang: np :) [22:56] Hallo. Can any tell me how to configure ubuntu for login with a smart card? Thanks [22:56] hipitihop: that said, that's why it can't be accessed. [22:57] where are on my computer is my secret key for gpg stored [22:57] DopeGhoti, ok let me quit this session, log out of the ssh session and then see what lsof shows, brb [22:57] newuser: maybe check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonAccessCard [22:57] hello>> [22:57] ??? [22:57] markdd34: ~/.gnupg [22:57] Does anyone use gvim?? [22:58] perlsyntax Noup, I use it not [22:58] perlsyntax, I did for a while [22:58] How can I make my system not respond or drop ping requests? [22:58] Purpley Burn it with fire [22:58] Purpley: stupid idea to do, but use iptables if you really want [22:58] llutz why? [22:58] bazhang, ty [22:59] Purpley: there are other means to detect your host. so dropiing icmp8 wouldn't make sense, just makes network service difficult [22:59] so i followed this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent to create a bootable USB flash drive, which works fine on my laptop [22:59] daroluWel my prob is i try to install PyLint for vim and i put it in my ~/.vim/compiler/ but when i type :PyLint i get a error cal no text error command. [22:59] I want to make my computer look near invisible or atleast safer [22:59] Purpley: a better question is why drop it? [22:59] odd [22:59] Security [23:00] however, on my new Atom-based desktop, it doesn't work, it simply says Boot error [23:00] dropping icmp echo requests does not provide security [23:00] Purpley: stupid, as i said. === bluestar is now known as Guest2672 [23:00] David-T, Makes it harder for hackers to detect im on the internet [23:00] i have the latest Bios updates,, and the machine definitely supports USB booting and sees the drive and tries to boot from it [23:00] Purpley: no, it doesn't [23:00] ? [23:01] so can someone help me figure out why one machine would work, but the other says Boot error [23:01] DopeGhoti, my bad, got confused which session, nothing to do with the xchat session... anyway when I run with sudo I get "lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/ssh-admin/.gvfs [23:01] Output information may be incomplete. [23:01] python 3208 myuserid 9u REG 8,1 2177 12805184 /etc/passwd" [23:01] Purpley: if you really knew enough to make that statement definitively, you'd know how to block them... [23:01] hello, i've just installed ubuntu, I normally use windows. how can I get a .jar file to run? [23:01] Sigh, back to the internets then [23:01] whats the command to read the manual with gedit editor? [23:01] Purpley: it's pointless, but use iptables if you really want, as llutz said [23:01] mjkjr|wirc: install java JRE och JDK [23:02] hipitihop: pstree -p | grep -C3 3208  ← see what owns that process [23:02] bjorn2: thank you [23:02] perlsyntax, you need to create ~/.gvimrc directory and install PyLint there [23:02] DopeGhoti, does that need sudo ? [23:02] Purpley: or a gui like firestarter, doing the nasty job more comfortable [23:02] hipitihop: generally not [23:02] any ideas? [23:03] hipitihop: if you don't have pstree, install the psmisc package [23:03] DasEi, Alright, any ideas of a good place to start for learning iptables? [23:03] Yhapster: what's the exact message you get ? [23:03] DasEi: "Boot error" [23:03] helpful huh? [23:03] and it works fine on my laptop [23:04] hi how can i download yahoo ? [23:04] Yhapster: it's an external usb, you can boot it from lappi, but not from another machine so far; is it grub throwing the error or is it before on the hardware (bios) side ? [23:05] Purpley, man iptables [23:05] Alright [23:05] CharbeL, you want to download Yahoo? [23:05] all of it? [23:05] xD [23:05] DasEi: it's likely the BIOS, because the entire screen is blank, with just "Boot error" in the top left. and yes, you've got the situation understood, works on laptop, not on another machine [23:05] And is there some addon someone might know of for firefox that removes the referere [23:05] DopeGhoti, nope have pstree.. out shows nautilus, polkit-gnome-au, python, seahorse-agent, ssh-agent, tracker-applet === Freek` is now known as Freek === Mowiiii`Aw is now known as Mowee [23:06] yes juboba [23:06] Yhapster: if you plug the usb in and then go into bios of that box, is it realized there and can it be set to boot from it ? [23:06] DasEi: yes it ccan [23:07] DasEi: and does. [23:07] Yhapster: and also it's not a 64bit os on 32bit box ? [23:07] CharbeL, you're gonna need a very large hard drive =P seriously, the only app from yahoo I know is its messenger, if that's what you want you don't need it, you can use empathy or any other IM client available trhough software centre [23:08] And is there some addon someone might know of for firefox that removes the referrer [23:08] DasEi: It's a 32-bit OS on a 32/64-bit box (Intel Atom D510) [23:08] * David-T wonders what webpage listing bad security ideas Purpley found [23:08] Yhapster: so not the issue, did you try to boot it with suber grub disk ? [23:09] would someone please tell me if they can ping this ip? 97.117.121.132 [23:09] blendmaster1024: No [23:09] you can't? [23:09] that makes me feel better [23:09] Me neither [23:10] * Purpley wonders if people can answer a question directly [23:10] I have herd about people making a separate partition for their homee partition why would you do that [23:10] blendmaster1024, I can't either [23:10] because i was freaking out that i couldn't ping it [23:10] blendmaster1024: It's not just you! http://97.117.121.132 looks down from here. [23:10] lol [23:10] !patience | Purpley [23:10] Purpley: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [23:10] DasEi: no, but that box has Windows 7 installed on it, which I did using a bootable USB flash drive [23:10] http is not running on that IP [23:10] Purpley: you could trying google first. for example "firefox referrer plugin" gives you your answer as the first hit. [23:10] I'm having some issue with Rhythmbox. Sound works with VLC and simply hovering the mouse over an mp3 in the file browser bug rhythmbox is silent [23:10] Anyone seen this before? [23:11] hm [23:11] jmartini: You say you get sound from everything BUT rhythmbox? [23:11] DasEi: I think what it's not liking is the fact that the key has two partitions [23:11] the first partition that it's trying to boot from is FAT32 and has GRUB loaded there [23:11] Yhapster: is it karmic on the usb, fresh install ? === mitchell_ is now known as cooperdesktop [23:12] DasEi: I did a dd of the 9.10 i386 livecd iso to the 2nd, 750MB partition [23:12] that partition was formatted using ext4 [23:13] Yhapster: and then configured grub to boot the cd, hmm === Lord_Nikon is now known as zedkappa [23:13] DasEi: well that link doesn't quite do that [23:13] Anyone good with internal modems? [23:13] I have a hp photosmart s20 photoscanner, and I've found an ubuntu manpage that lists it as supported by the uscanner driver, but I can't find the driver itself. source or deb, anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it? [23:13] Yhapster: I don't understand .. [23:14] DasEi: that link tells you to copy vmlinuz and initrd.lz from the ISO to the /boot/ directory [23:14] grub loads those, with parameters to continue the boot from the ISO/2nd partition [23:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:14] Hi folks, has anyone ever encountered the issue where Handbrake takes FOREVER to scan a DVD? [23:15] Seven_Six_Two: Sorry, I'm not sure, Try looking around the forums for your distro? someones possibly linked it [23:15] ruge: i would imagine that's an inappropriate subject i'm afraid [23:15] Cress: yes [23:15] ruge: Try anything else? Does it have the same problem? [23:16] Well, its just strange because I have a DVD of mine I wish to put on my PC. So i put in the disc, hit source, select the disc and it takes a long time to scan it! [23:16] its been like 30 minutes and its about 70% done [23:16] is it a sony pictures/Disney film? [23:16] jmartini: Then I don't know what could be causing it, I had a similar problem, Try updating? [23:16] its a DVD from our local ABC station [23:16] *australia* [23:16] ruge, could be disk damage, or some new encrytpion scheme, best to let it time out [23:17] I'm updated. I even removed and reinstalled the package [23:17] bazhang: ill confirm this with another disc, one second. [23:17] ruge, this from the PPA? [23:17] ruge does anything else work faster than handbrake? [23:17] Yhapster: I get that approach, but it's not very nice as you can't update the system then, or alter it, also you can't use standard rescues as you could with common install in situations like this [23:17] Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually and just use another player in the interim [23:17] jmartini: I'm sorry, I can't be much help now since I'm currently booted in XP [23:18] Cress: ive never used anything else, i just installed ubuntu and handbrake [23:18] <|Robert|> hy all [23:18] Ruge: Try something else, pop in a movie or something and play it with another program [23:18] Cress, I use ubuntu 9.10, and all I can find is the manpage on the ubuntu doc site. I searched the ubuntu forums and did a google and google/linux search. [23:18] Unless its intentionally meant to take ages just to scan the titles.. its strange that my drives dont show any activity though. [23:18] Cress: no worries, just thought I'd through it out. It's not a huge priority as sound works with everything else [23:18] DasEi: Sure you can. THere's a persistent storage file in the fat32 partition, and if a new release comes out, i just dd it back into that 2nd partition [23:18] Seven_Six_Two: Just give me a minute, I'll help you look [23:19] <|Robert|> i try to add a new taskbar and now its freeze all, i can't access is... how can i remove it ? [23:19] Cress, thanks. I appreciate it. Maybe you'll see something I missed. [23:19] hey evrybdy i need help enabling my webcam...i have the flashpackage all installed and when i go to facebook for example its says to "click allow to use webcam" now i was wondering if i enable it from my terminal or what....im kinda lost here [23:19] Seven_Six_Two: No problem bro [23:19] does somebody know if/how its possible to share a desktop with x2go? [23:20] Yhapster: you will always just have the iso, which you can't update (not speaking of a dist-upgrade here) [23:20] ruge, I have handbrake from the PPA, was yours installed from somewhere else? [23:20] Ruge: It could be your cd drive, Try running a movie or something see if it loads quickly [23:20] http://www.x2go.org/index.php?id=72 [23:20] Yhapster: I'd rather use pendrivelinux to get a full install on the usb, so that can also be accessed via live cd or other in cases like this [23:21] DasEi: well, i was able to install programs and have them persist [23:21] DasEi: i went this route to be able to use the free space like a regular flash drive to copy files [23:21] Ahh! My DVDs arent playing with VLC player! [23:21] Hey people. When I tried out the live cd I could connect to my WPA2 network. But after install it doesn't work. It just says "wrong password". Any ideas on what I can do? [23:22] maybe put in the right password? [23:22] Yhapster: you can alsways use gparted to have filespace for that purpose [23:22] Seven_Six_Two: I'm taking a look now [23:23] DasEi: thats not much different than my current approach [23:23] Cress, of course I'm putting in the right password. [23:23] cool, I'm still here [23:23] Is there a service like Peer Guardian for Ubuntu and is it even needed? [23:23] DasEi: and doesnt explan why it works on some machines and not others [23:23] koltroll: I was kidding [23:24] <|Robert|> i try to add a new taskbar and now its freeze all, i can't access is... how can i remove it ? [23:24] koltroll: All I can say is remove the WPA protection? [23:24] !panels | |Robert| [23:24] |Robert|: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:24] Then try it [23:25] I installed a new HD in my machine... is there a way to make ubuntu mount all partitions at startup without messing around with /etc/fstab? [23:25] Cress, yea well... maybe that's the way to go [23:25] Seven_Six_Two: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo This isn't a driver, Or really anything but it might hold you over, or be of some use while I look [23:25] Yhapster: it is much difference, to have a common install or any special approach in a situation like this, apart from that, I saw this from time to time, that a stick boots on certain machines, on otheres not, but it least came to grub there, and reinstalling grub on that particular machine then did the trick [23:25] koltroll: I'm not saying remove it for good, Turn it off and see if you get same error [23:25] koltroll: then let me know [23:26] <|Robert|> ubottu huh thanks a lot... u save my life [23:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:26] DasEi: i've reinstalled grub many times, it's not the issue here. this has got me really stumped. [23:26] Cress, oh I know it works if I turn it off [23:26] Cress, it's just the wpa2-thing it has problems with [23:26] koltroll: Try maybe setting up a wep key [23:27] or some other means of protection, If some E-terrorists are out to get you, but if not I wouldn't worry about it I ran my network a few months back w/o any kind of passwords for years on end [23:28] Yhapster: have you got another usb around ? justa stick with least 1 GB ? could try to install on that 'sticky box then [23:28] ok i'm gonna try a different way [23:28] Cress, well it's not that I can't access internet, it's just that I think I should be able to connect to wpa2-protected networks [23:28] A video I downloaded has sort of a blue filter on it, is there a movie player that has filters on it to counteract this sort of thing? [23:28] DasEi: i had this issue already with a diff key. it's something wrong with the instructions [23:29] Ouch, Seven_Six_two [23:29] Yhapster: you could then just unplug all other drives and install via cd directly to the usb [23:29] Photosmart S20 (C5101A) USB 0x03f0/0x0102 Unsupported [23:29] why i can connect to yahoo by empathy ? === Anzenketh is now known as Anzenketh|away [23:29] can't* [23:29] nvm smplayer has em === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [23:31] Cress, no luck? I already knew it wasn't supported by sane, that's why I'm looking for the uscanner driver [23:31] !visor [23:31] No luck so far [23:31] hi!

Now it shows some lines and then the screen goes dark (normally, I need to enter a password to decrypt the HDD). [23:33] nvictor, I don't think windows has an equivalent. [23:33] How can I boot my computer now? [23:33] hmm [23:33] oh tanx [23:33] saurion, got anything important on it? [23:33] saurion, what do the lines say? [23:33] nvictor, what are you trying to do? [23:33] well [23:34] Cress, yes [23:34] Random: I think saurion means lines as in actual lines, not lines of text :p [23:34] dsnyders: translate some lines containing file names '/dev/null' [23:34] i don't think editing /etc/default/grub actually does anything unless you run update-grub [23:34] Cress, no lines of text :) just what you see without "quiet splash" [23:34] saurion try booting in recovery, I'm not sure what to tell you since I haven't ever had a problem where I couldn't save my stuff, I was gonna recommend a format which would be the easiest thing to do [23:34] How can I change how long the passphrase for my GPG/GnuPG key is cached? My SSH keys have it cached for the whole session, I'd like the same for this [23:34] Oh [23:35] saurion, can you boot in single user mode (aka "recovery mode")?

"press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting ...". Can't I put in "quiet splash" there, by using "e" to edit the commands ?

[23:38] isnt there a icon or some thing [23:38] I've written a bug report (Bug #542270) for my problem, but I wonder if I can fix it myself by recompiling the kernel and the backported modules. === Mowee is now known as Mowiiii`Aw [23:38] Cress, What? [23:38] Go to tastyspleen.tv/q2k and download that, then patch it for linux, and go to q2servers.com to find an ip, Go there, Type record. Let it go for a few seconds then disconnect [23:39] Purpley, I would imagine mplayer could do this. However, if the video is probably missing one of the color channels, you likely won't be able to get it back. [23:39] You can record it as avi, which [23:39] anyways to get quickbooks 2010 with wine at this point? [23:39] If it comes back blue it's not ur computer, but if it comes back fine somethings not right [23:39] hi [23:39] Purpley: that I think is a missetting in gstreamer... [23:39] StopSign, check the appdb and ask about in #winehq [23:39] I tried smplayer and movie player [23:39] !appdb | StopSign [23:39] StopSign: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:39] With the same video? [23:39] hi [23:39] Yes [23:39] nvictor, /dev/null provides an End Of File signal as soon as an attempt to read from it is made. NUL: probably does the same thing in windows. [23:40] Saurion [23:40] I'm sorry, I don't think you can [23:40] Cress, yes? [23:40] ah ok hmmmmmmmm [23:40] this should not happen. [23:40] It's okay, Just [23:40] Remember for next time [23:40] If you don't know what's gonna happen, don't F with it [23:41] hmm [23:41] Hmmm it says Unsupported Pixel Format -1 [23:41] Cress, I knew what removing "quiet splash" did in a previous version of ubuntu... [23:41] When i play it with mplayer [23:41] any ideas? [23:41] no system restore discs? [23:41] well [23:41] Cress, ... it doesn't seem to do the same thing on Lucid Beta 1 [23:41] You said you messed with something else Saurion? [23:41] Purpley: Try going into totem>preferences>display and wiggle the balance around, and se if that does anything... [23:42] arand its just the video [23:42] Not my monitor [23:42] Purpley: colour balance [23:42] wait wheres totem [23:42] It's the ONE video you're having problems with purpley? [23:42] Cress, all I did was removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub, and I also enabled gfxmode to 800x600, in the very same file. then i ran update-grub and rebooted the machine. [23:42] Cress, Yes [23:42] purpley, No others? [23:42] Purpley: movie player in the main menu [23:43] Purpley, everything else works fine? [23:43] Yup [23:43] Then it's the video [23:43] its a mpg if that helps [23:43] There's a problem with the video [23:43] Is all I can say [23:43] why i can't connect to yahoo ? [23:43] it says ---> Unable to connect: Error resolving scsa.msg.yahoo.com: [23:43] No address associated with hostname [23:43] saurion.. um.. === HPTwhite_ is now known as HPTwhite [23:44] it says ---> Unable to connect: Error resolving >scsa.msg.yahoo.com: [23:44] thanks its good now === HPTwhite is now known as Guest17306 [23:44] Purpley, so totem was able to play it properly? [23:44] I'm sorry, Like I said my knowledge is limited, I'm just trying to help the best I can, I'm no guru [23:44] Purpley: Colour balance was the thing? [23:45] trying to run seahorse-agent tells me there is another GPG agent running - how can I tell what it is so I can kill it and use seahorse? [23:45] Cress, how do I save, what I edited in the GRUB menu (pressed the 'e' button to enable editing) ? just ctrl+x? [23:45] i have a problem with my ubuntu9.10, the screen blanks out and caps lock lit and blinks [23:45] yo [23:45] my hue was all the way to the left all the people looked like smurfs lol [23:45] Saurion: My guess is just enter it and leave, I haven't had to mess with it yet [23:45] hi , Somebody help me about gma 500 on ubuntu 10.0.4 (acer 751/h) [23:46] hi , Somebody help me about gma 500 on ubuntu 10.0.4 (acer 751/h) please [23:46] BugsCrash: Tell us what the problem is? [23:46] does any body test ubuntu 10.04 [23:46] ? [23:46] BugsCrash: join #ubuntu+1 [23:46] hi..does anyone know of any software in Linux that can remove the DRM from my paid itunes tv shows? [23:46] zib_, yes. [23:46] BugsCrash, #ubuntu+1 for lucid === mikelifeguard is now known as Mike||gone [23:46] Tanks for all [23:46] zib_: see above [23:46] Purpley: Yea sometimes the setting go a bit whacky.. Bug in gstreamer/totem... I guess. [23:47] saurion_how is it ? [23:47] zib_, support and discussion in #ubuntu+1 [23:47] is there any chan's for wine ? [23:47] winehq StopSign [23:47] ty [23:47] err #winehq [23:47] Anyone good with internal modems? [23:47] Cress, what's the issue? [23:47] My Virtual Box is extremely slow. Anybody know if VMWare is faster? [23:48] alindgr111, Try increasing its memory [23:48] alindgr111, how much memory alloted [23:48] bazhang_, i don't look at support , jsut info [23:48] saurion: ctrl-x boots from a line, but doesn't save it, if you want it saved I'd usually do it at /boot/grub/grub.cfg though it many here will say use /etc/defaults/grub since whenever, I don't see it on my end, it can get changed by some process running update-grub and use that template to override grub.cfg [23:48] zib_, hm, the first thing you have to do is to change the order of the window controls. from left to write [23:48] 1024 mb [23:48] zib_, I still prefer the 9.10 over 10.4... [23:48] zib_, this is the wrong channel for chat. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, #ubuntu+1 for lucid discussion and support [23:49] dsnyders: Well, I had set up my modem the other night, But it gave me a constant error when I tried to connect, No carrier. It was spamming it, So I went into my wvdial.config, and changed some things, Now it doesn't detect the modem at all anymore, It's a winmodem but I had already built the drivers and had it working [23:49] can someone tell me how i can make emerald the default windows decorator [23:49] !emerald | ugliefrog [23:49] ugliefrog: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [23:49] ugliefrog, emerald is no longer developed nor supported === Mike||gone is now known as mikelifeguard [23:49] Typos_King, but is it possible to add quiet splash there and boot normally? [23:49] saurion_ ok thank you ... I'm a beginner on irc ! [23:49] kk === nosrepa is now known as aperson [23:50] saurion: sure, I do that :) [23:50] I'm sick of googling: I can't open oggcovert or soundconverter, because it needs python-gstreamer-0.10 (which IS already installed). Stuff I googled diidnt work [23:50] I can increase the mem and try that [23:50] i advise you to get vegan if you can you will have many benefits in karma and health like look much younger live longer be less agressive risk 80% less cancers and ills have just good cholesterol and no cellulitis and over all be no odor in toilet as fish meat makes defecation smell bad for instetinal putrefaction and not kill animals :) [23:50] ugliefrog: You can set the default decorator in ccsm>Window Decoration>Command field. If emerald is installed, it can be started with 'emerald --replace'. Obviously it will only work while compiz is running [23:50] saurion I do it on grub.cfg and then back it up, if it gets overwritten, I can either put it back or recall my changes :) [23:50] When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal? [23:51] Cress, I don't know anything about windmodems except "Avoid them like the plague". However, what may have happened is that your modem has moved and /dev/modem is no longer pointing at it. [23:51] That's what I thought too [23:51] soreau, i had an icon that i clicked and changed but i had to reinstall now i dont have it [23:51] It being a winmodem isn't the issue, I already built the driver and had it working [23:51] ATDT*70,8852738 [23:51] NO CARRIER [23:51] ERROR [23:51] --> No Carrier! Trying again. [23:51] --> Sending: ATDT*70,8852738 [23:51] Cress: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:51] Cress, You got something there. [23:52] Yea [23:52] I don't know what's causing that [23:52] Cress, have you tried dialing the number yourself? Perhaps it is telling you no carrier because it is not reaching a modem on the other end. [23:52] When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal? [23:53] I'm on it at the moment [23:53] dsnyders I'm using the same number on XP [23:53] Cress, where are you that you don't need a ten digit number to call somewhere? [23:53] Canada hehe [23:53] i have a mic problem after fixing sound on my vpcf115fm vaio, there's a thread here -- http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/issues/detail?id=9#c1 but it doesn't have a fix for the mic, and mentions it [23:54] damn it! the screen is just dark. all lamps are on, as normal... wtf [23:54] I do need a 10 digit number to call long distance, But it's in my area [23:56] Cress, I thought all North America had switched to 10 digit dialing. Windows puts area codes on for you. [23:56] When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal? [23:57] *70,8852738 is the number [23:57] I have to put the * and , in it for it to work [23:57] hi, im trying to use nginx on ubuntu and im unable to get it to start using the default configuration, wondering if anyone's used this [23:57] Hello, I have a Ubuntu 9.10 computer connected to my network via a usb wireless card (wlan1), i would like to hook another ubuntu 9.10 desktop via ethernet to desktop 1, and recieve internet through it, since i do not have a wireless adapter for desktop 2. [23:57] i get "[emerg]: open() "/usr/local/nginx/off" failed (2: No such file or directory)" and i have no idea why its looking for that, no config file or the startup script references that [23:58] fuckin ridiculous. I added "splash quiet" and hit ctrl+x. Then it continued booting in graphics mode and I was able to enter the pass to unlock the rest of the FS. [23:58] Cress, the *70 disables call waiting, the comma waits for the dial tone to return, then the rest of the number is dialed. [23:58] So I should add my area code for linux? [23:59] first impression of lucid: a lot like windows 98. [23:59] i have a mic problem after fixing sound on my vpcf115fm vaio, there's a thread here -- http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/issues/detail?id=9#c1 but it doesn't have a fix for the mic, and mentions it [23:59] Cress, If you don't need it manually, then you don't need it in linux. Have you tried calling the number manually? [23:59] When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal?
