[00:00] 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. [00:00] Cress, it may be that they're not answering right now. That's what I want you to check. [00:01] !ics | Aaal3 [00:01] Aaal3: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [00:01] I'm almost positive I could get that issue fixed though, If I could get linux to detect my modem again, anyway to tell what ttyS* I should point wvdial to? [00:01] thanks erUSUL [00:01] Cress, what ttyS* do you have? [00:02] bjr de paris [00:02] hello [00:02] (or ttyAnythingelse) [00:02] It's set at ttySL0 at the moment [00:02] Cress, get a copy of minicom. It is a terminal emulation program. You can easily check with that. [00:02] 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. can someone help? [00:02] is it a package dsynders/ [00:02] nvm stupid question === root is now known as Guest707 [00:03] Cress, It's been a while, I think so. Another way might be to echo ATDT>/dev/TTYSx and see if you hear the modem pick up. [00:04] well, I'm not sure why but when my modem dials ( on windows) it doesn't make any noise whatsoever [00:04] Cress, there are AT codes for that. (ATM0, if memory serves). [00:05] Cress, that one's easy, it's a setting on windows whether or not to let you hear the sounds it makes [00:05] no mrwizeguy, It's my speaker [00:05] Which is turned up half way [00:05] in modemsettings > speaker volume [00:05] well, in win, since i think 95 or 98, it had the setting [00:06] yeah [00:06] I'm on XP, Actually looking at the option now [00:06] There's 4 notches, It's on the second [00:07] hey, dsynders, Would the port of the modem be of any use [00:07] if i recall, sometimes it plays from the actual card (built in basic speaker) and sometimes from your computer speakers [00:07] Cress, you're in XP now? Does it indicate which serial port it is? [00:07] All it says is Port: COM3 [00:08] Cress, either great minds thinking alike, or fools seldom differing :-) [00:08] Cress, COM3 is the equivalent to /dev/TTYS2 [00:08] okay, I didn't know that [00:08] So.. [00:09] Can I change it to ttySL0? [00:09] dsnyders, do you know what it takes to get someone's attention in #pulseaudio or #alsa ? [00:09] when I used sl-modem-daemon, It uh points /dev/modem to /dev/ttySL0 [00:09] mrwizeguy1983: patience ? [00:09] mrwizeguy1983, Unfortunately, no. Have you offered beer? [00:10] lol good thought dsnyders [00:10] mrwizeguy1983 rename yourself [00:10] bigtits or something [00:10] ci sono... [00:10] then ask for help [00:10] lol isn't that the equivalent of cross dressing? [00:10] Cress: comments like that aren't appropriate for this channel. [00:10] i don't quite think i can do that [00:10] Sorry [00:10] I don't use IRC much, My bad. [00:10] rww, it was funny and not offensive [00:11] though i am nearly to that point Cress, if nobody responds in half an hour what can you do [00:11] nothing i suppose [00:11] lmao [00:11] Just ask for help, and go afk [00:12] dsnyders: Is it possible to change my modems port to ttySL0? [00:12] Cress, If it were a standard modem, it might work. However, I get the feeling that the winmodem is going to dance around from port to port on you. You may have better luck with google and pizza on this one. [00:12] i have a problem with my ubuntu9.10, the screen blanks out and caps lock lit and blinks [00:12] aw crap [00:12] I'm no good with google.. [00:13] no good with google? lol [00:13] Yeah, Like [00:13] I can't google to save my life [00:13] just leave out the common words. like type in win modem ubuntu [00:13] oh.. [00:13] I've always typed out long ass sentences [00:13] haha... [00:14] yeah, google search never works that way [00:14] Cress, It might help if you include the actual modem name as well. [00:14] just type the unique words of what you're looking for Cress [00:14] how do I access sensors-applet? Has anyone used it? [00:14] Does anyone know if there python 2.6.5 update? [00:14] and what dsnyders said is very useful to, else you look through pages and pages [00:14] * niwo says a ubuntic hello [00:14] dangerman: [00:14] oh he's gone [00:15] Cress, just for giggles, what modem do you have? [00:15] ok [00:15] motorola sm56 fax [00:15] a blinking LED usually indicates a hardware problem, if anyone else cares [00:15] anyone from europe-germany in here? [00:15] when I do lspci it gives me 01:06.0 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem (rev 04) [00:15] Cress, three seconds of googling: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=460331 [00:15] I'm a master of googling, cress may I help you? [00:16] * penguinv recalls the blinking LED's on computers long long ago. (the kind of computers that got their own room and an operator.) [00:16] dsnyders, are you any good with sound? i have an odd problem but i have found a thread on it, though it doesn't resolve the problem i have remaining it does mention the problem [00:16] dsynders: That's telling you how to build drivers, which I've done [00:17] penguinv: um, I'm trying to move my modem port to ttySL0 [00:17] Cress, well, it was just the first hit. [00:17] lol [00:17] cress, that's what you want to do. What do you want to look up? (take it slow with me) [00:17] I found one too, reading through it but it looks like it's got nothing to do with me [00:17] What is the command-line equivelent of edit connections->eth0->edit->ipv4 settings->share with other computers? [00:18] Is there a good program for testing proxies for anonymity? [00:18] cress, for a "I want to do this specific" I like to use http://www.ubuntuforums.com "It's the community." [00:18] Penguinv, You sound just like me haha.. I don't know what it is I wanna look up, I just know that sl-modem-daemon points modem to ttySL0.. which my modems in ttyS2 [00:19] Aaal3: vi, vim.... depends... you mean a console session editor? [00:19] a GUI or... what? [00:19] no Typos_King i mean connection sharing [00:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/541749 More Data [00:19] mrwizeguy1983, sorry, my sound-fu is pretty bad. I had things working in 8.10, then I upgraded to 9.04 and things broke. I'v stumbled through getting it more or less working, but some less importand programs are still having issues. [00:20] cress, does this help? http://www.ttyredirector.com/ [00:20] erUSUL: what was the connection sharing link you showed me? and does it tell you how to do it from command line? [00:20] cress, generalize generalize generalize. First word= LINUX next word= MODEM PORT last word = TTY ----> then see what you get. [00:21] Aaal3: there is no single commad to achieve this, amongst the hints you already got can install dnsmasq, which will also do the job [00:21] Penguinv: I'm not sure, there's no download button LOL [00:21] Aaal3: you mean "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [00:21] !ics > Aaal3 [00:21] dsnyders, you know anyone who is good with sound? maybe you could take a look at the thread? i'm kinda lost because it mentions the issue but they didn't find a fix on that thread [00:21] Aaal3, please see my private message [00:21] lol cress [00:21] Aaal3: and adding eth0:1 to the other network you want to share, so you can set a gateway/router [00:21] cress tell me if you liked that link plz [00:21] one sec buddy [00:22] mrwizeguy1983, My show's about to start. mplayer /var/tv/BreakingBad_S01E04.avi [00:22] hey [00:22] lol [00:23] always preferred totem to mplayer myself [00:23] cress, think of it like you are looking through a file system, set of drawers, or you are inventing the Dewey Decimal System. From the BIG to the small. What does it "gotta have" [00:23] Um [00:23] I think I got an idea [00:23] mrwizeguy1983, I've had bad luck with totem. It may even be one of those apps that the sound doesn't work on. [00:23] Of what to do [00:24] I'm gonna boot up linux [00:24] I'll be back in 10 [00:24] If you guys are gone, Thanks alot for helping out [00:24] but cress was that page interesting? [00:24] Cress, good luck [00:24] well, ever since i got the gt 330m working i don't have any compatability problems, just the mic dsnyders, but it's the UI i like of totem [00:24] ditts [00:24] I didn't understand it penguin [00:24] is there a way i could disable pcmanfm/lxde from drawing the desktop the way i can in nautilus to get 4 different wallpapers on my rotating cube? [00:24] dittos cress, all the best [00:24] lol [00:24] brb [00:25] He never did try the search. Maybe next time LMGTFY [00:25] mrwizeguy1983, I have an 800MHz clunker with 300Mb of RAM. The less clutter I have the better. [00:26] ohhh i see dsnyders. well i'm running with 6gb ram, 1gb graphics ram, and an i7 processor. if something slows down my laptop, it's simply designed badly [00:26] MY PROBLEM: neither chrome nor firefox "gets" the javascript well enough to display the igoogle page. (Yes, javascript is there and youtube plays.) I've asked in #firefox for 2 days getting no further except to check javascript existence.) [00:26] how can i get the dbus headers installed? [00:26] mrwizeguy1983, Sweet! I've been looking to upgrade. What motherboard do you have? [00:27] dsnyders, actually it's a laptop. vpcf115fm. i'm not sure what board is in it actually [00:27] im on core2 duo p8400 3gigs of ddr3 1 gig nvidia 9800 gts on a gateway fx laptop [00:27] * penguinv pokes along with old stuff butnot as old as dsnyders [00:28] seems to rock and roll nicely [00:28] mrwizeguy1983, "there's a command for that" [00:28] StopSign, what rating does the 9800gts get on win7 anyway? [00:28] ok back to IRL [00:28] mrwizeguy1983, Oh, laptop. Right. When I see i7 I picture a CPU heat sink/fan about the size of my fist. [00:28] I'll look in later. [00:29] actually dsnyders, i7's run quite cool. they're designed to run at low clock until needed, then turbo boost [00:29] dont no,but i get 500 fps in quake 3 on 9.10 [00:29] Can I get help [00:29] StopSign, anything over a fx 5200 would play quake 3 on ubuntu at at least 60 fps, the card is good but that really isn't the best way to measure it [00:30] thats using wine [00:30] can someone help me [00:30] yea i know [00:30] hi, I'm trying to install adobe air on ubuntu 9.10 x64 but it seems impossible (./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: No such file or directory -- even though I am in the same folder as the file) [00:30] google it lol [00:30] I have googled this [00:30] Ss, can you help [00:30] right on [00:31] im not too much of a gamer anymore [00:31] StopSign, I have installed ubuntu on my HD, BUT it says I only have 1GB free space. [00:31] The partition i chose is 70GB [00:31] mrwizeguy1983, Really? I'll have to actually look at one instead of looking at the tricked out, light up, heat pipe, liquid cooled demonstrator. Anyways, what problem are you having with the sound? [00:31] StopSign, any idea where the gt mobile cards come in? that's why i was asking, trying to figure out how they compare to the geforce 9800's etc. [00:31] what is the opposite of lifo called (last in first out), is it lilo? (last in last out) [00:31] mine is a 9800m gts [00:32] iceroot: fifo? [00:32] dsnyders, it use to only work via headphones/plugin mic [00:32] karpus: first in first out sounds good [00:32] Iceroot, fifo, first in first out. Lilo is a boot manager that is popular with certain linux distros. [00:32] but now it works (after update to latest driver) on speakers and headphones fine, but the mic won't work, neither built in nore line in dsnyders [00:32] but im dual booting win7 and 9.10 [00:33] graphics are better in win7 [00:33] anybody know how i can install the dev headers for dbus so i can compile programs that need dbus.h? [00:33] brb [00:33] StopSign, that's one of the best 9800's if i remember, which is why i wanted to know what rating it got. my gt 330m got a 6.5, probably yours is a bit higher [00:33] I was interested in the command line that I can use to update my firefox from 2.0 to the most current version. Can anyone send me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for your help! [00:33] Karmic Koala here. My home directory is encrypted with eCryptfs. It lies on a seperate partition.

Additional question: I guess there wont be any problem with Web upgrade without any special measure; am I right? [00:34] dsnyders: yes i know lilo-boot-loader, just wasnt sure about the correct name of the opposite of lifo [00:35] digitalfiz: you could go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for dbus.h in packages.

[02:23] tvaughn: samba is for making unix shares accessible as windows shares [02:23] necrocow: no, you don't. [02:23] huh [02:23] samba is so used to access windows shares [02:23] wrong. [02:23] !samba [02:23] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [02:23] smbfs? [02:24] smbfs or cifs to access Windows shares [02:24] tvaughn: smb://windowscomputer/share [02:24] Gnea: you just proved yourself wrong... [02:24] why not just create a server, much easier than shared folders [02:24] necrocow: there's a difference between providing access, and accessing. accessing is done with a client. samba is a server, not a client. [02:24] tvaughn: smb://username:password@windowscomputer/share [02:24] tvaughn: nautilus --browser smb://ip_address [02:24] necrocow: methinks you need to read up on what's really what and how it really works. [02:25] Gnea: thers also such a thing as over abstracting something ffs... [02:25] necrocow: pardon? [02:25] you totally do not use samba to access window shares, no questions asked [02:25] you know exactly what was meant by "using samba to access windows shares", I think anyone in here knew, and of the 1284 people you're the only one to nit pick about it [02:26] you use an in-kernel smbfs or cifs, and you use the smbfs package for the mount utilities [02:26] sickly: got an answer already ? [02:26] necrocow: No, I'm sorry but I don't know. Please don't put words in my mouth. [02:26] i've got 104 bad sectors on my drive, it's warning me about the drive failing.. it's a 1TB drive, does 104 bad sectors seem like a lot? [02:26] dhcp3-server = httpd (much easier) [02:27] I can't get Rhythmbox to import folders into the library. I've tried the intuitive stuff, then the instructions, then the command-line. Nothing. [02:27] Tapout: to me 1 Sector would be a lot. [02:27] anyone here good with nmap [02:27] Tapout: that's a recognized problem with 1TB drives in general. you should be able to safely map them so that they won't be accessed. [02:27] Tapout, yeah, i do not have bad sectors on any of my drives according to badblocks utility [02:27] DasEi1, no not yeat [02:27] pointless nit-picking serves noone imho. Theres a difference between wanting to be precise and being overly so; the isue you've taken up is like saying "you don't start the car, you start the engine" [02:27] ouch. [02:28] necrocow: you could benefit from your own advice then. [02:28] Ganymede, how ? [02:28] sickly: mount is the command, not ntfsmount like in your paste, also not a good idea to mount to Desktop [02:28] Gnea: hows that, you made the bloody nitpick? [02:28] necrocow, lets move on [02:28] Gnea: do you work for Congress? [02:28] sickly: sudo mkdir /media/ntfs [02:28] necrocow: welcome to /ignore [02:28] fine [02:28] 'bout time [02:28] necrocow, of course, one should understand that you want to access windows shares from linux, yet you insist that samba is used to mount those shares as a client accessing the share, which is false by all accounts [02:29] sickly: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf1 /media/ntfs [02:29] I'm sorry to make an issue out of his issue, but I hate unnecesary nit picking [02:29] Ganymede: I always used samba to access windows network shares, how else would you do that? [02:29] Ganymede: nevermind, I found your post about it [02:29] igoryonya: really? how did you do it? [02:29] sickly: sudo chown -R $USER /media/ntfs [02:29] Ganymede: ok please show me how it can be done without Samba on the system..... [02:29] Ganymede: but smbfs is samba [02:29] Q. How do I Access Windows share from Linux command prompt? I would like to be able to access shared folders on Windows machines from my Linux system. [02:29] A. There are two ways. Use command line tool called smbclient or you can mount windows shares the mount command. Another option is use GUI tools. Please refer previous articles about access windows share from Linux: [02:29] Yes, just mount the windows drive or use smbclient [02:29] enough with the bot spam ffs [02:29] sickly: cd /media/ntfs && ls [02:29] Gnea: do what, exactly? [02:30] I've never seen the smb://etc... technique with a browser, but that seems pretty f'in cool. [02:30] DasEi1, i have already tried that , i was jst giving an example of one of the many things i tried [02:30] igoryonya: how you used samba to mount a windows share, specifically. [02:30] igoryonya, when you say, "using samba" to access the share, it depends on whether you're referring to the samba server, which is provided by the samba package, or the smbfs/cifs kernel code and mount.cifs mount utility, which probably has code contributed by the samba project [02:30] DasEi1, many mount places lol [02:30] Ganymede, how do you move them... [02:30] sickly : where are you stuck, in just following above lines ? another pastie ?! [02:31] Are we trying to gain access to an unauthorized system? If so, just say so, and then maybe I'll help. [02:31] Tapout, like how do i physically move the drives from place to place? [02:31] sickly: mount [02:31] sickly: sudo fdisk -l [02:31] i always use mount.cifs to mount windows shares... [02:31] sickly: paste the result of that two cmd's , too [02:31] Ganymede, no.. when i've got 104 bad sectors.. how do i get them around or something [02:31] use ms's chkdsk [02:31] otherwise reformat [02:32] Tapout, oh, that i don't know...since i've never got bad sectors, but i think the solution is to use the badblocks command to generate a list of badblocks and then feed that to the utility you use to create your filesystem and then the filesystem will skip around the bad blocks [02:32] Gnea: windows share means that it's a network share, not a local drive, so I never mounted them, I just accessed them by placing an address in a file manager: smb://windowscomputer/share or smb://user:pass@windowscomputer/share [02:32] DasEi1, http://pastebin.com/fWJs9gee [02:32] Tapout, the hard drive manufacturer might also make available a utility that will remap bad blocks to spare blocks in a way invisible to the oS [02:32] igoryonya: I assume that address can be sym linked? [02:33] Ganymede: I am referring to some windows running computer on the lan/net [02:33] gparted has a tool to attempt to fix errors, but it didn't work for me the other night, Winblows' chkdsk fixed them though (they were on ntfs partition) [02:33] igoryonya: perhaps you misinterpretted how it really works, like necrocow did. now, you could use smbclient to mount a remote windows share on a mountpoint, then reshare it with samba, but not only would you create too much overhead to system resources, but you'd have to make sure that the credentials are all in-line. [02:33] Yeah, just use netcat [02:33] igoryonya, yeah, you don't use "samba" to access those, use mount.cifs to mount them, or nautilus probably has a built-in smb client [02:33] sickly: that all looks correct, where did you get stuck at the above cmds ? [02:33] I agree nautilus [02:34] if you need to force-mount then use ntfs-3g [02:34] DasEi1, i just cant mount my external drive with all my movies on it [02:34] igoryonya: well, yes, you are correct about it being a network share. the point being, is that samba *provides* access *to* that share, but samba is *not* the specific software that an end-user uses on his/her desktop in order to access said share. THAT is the point I was trying to make. [02:34] im trying to set this up for someone else.. [02:35] DasEi1, it just won let me [02:35] yes, then use nautilus with ntfs-3g it works flawlessly. [02:35] Gnea: how can I symlink a file to a windows shaer [02:35] i usually use: mount.cifs //server/share ./mount-point -o iocharset=utf8,user=Ganymede,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700 [02:35] Ganymede: so the question is not how do you connect to a windows share, but how do you mount it so it looks as a part of your file system? [02:35] igoryonya, ^^ [02:35] sickly: did you follow the above commands ? [02:35] igoryonya: for instance, if you're on a laptop with windows xp and you want to connect to a linux server, you use samba on the linux server. you don't use samba on the windows xp machine. does that make sense? [02:35] tvaughn, ^^ mount it that way and then use ln -s to create a symlink [02:36] ntfs-3g mount -o force /dev/hda1 for example... [02:36] tvaughn: you could, if you enjoy utilizing lax permission schemas on your system. [02:36] (03:34:50) DasEi1: sudo mkdir /media/ntfs [02:36] (03:35:17) DasEi1: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf1 /media/ntfs [02:36] (03:35:36) DasEi1: sudo chown -R $USER /media/ntfs , sickly [02:36] its asking for a password :\ [02:36] yay i participated in a bit of flamewar today...i see why people love doing this now [02:37] Gnea, ok, I understand now, but when I was saying samba, I didn't presume a samba software package, but an smb protocol. [02:37] tvaughn, you can either hit enter and skip the password if it's not password protected, or enter the actual password [02:37] Gnea: I already have the files set to shared to everyone as the PS3 required that [02:37] Ganymede: tried both neither worked [02:37] Gnea: I see your point [02:37] tvaughn, did you change the username in the options argument? [02:37] to what? [02:38] tvaughn, i don't know...whatever user you expect to mount it as [02:38] I mean is it a user on the ubuntu computer? [02:38] igoryonya: ah, then that is an incorrect assumption, since samba and smb are two entirely different things. SMB is a protocol, Samba is a software package that *uses* SMB. confusing the two only causes more problems than it does solutions. hope that helps. [02:38] or a user on the windows one [02:38] DasEi1, im going to try the exact comm ands, if i have a problem i will pastbin [02:38] Hello [02:38] tvaughn, it's a user on the windows machine and the associated password === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux__ [02:38] sickly: fine, go a ahead [02:38] Gnea SMB = Server Message Block? [02:38] NetScr1be: what? [02:39] Ganymede: can I do //192.168.1.10/ [02:39] NetScr1be: yes. [02:39] tvaughn, the account credentials you use to access the share would typically reside on the server but in some environments, the user credentials are synchronized so it would be the same as your user and password on the ubuntu machine [02:39] tvaughn, yes, you can access the share by I address as well with mount.cifs [02:39] IP* [02:39] Gnea: I understand what you are saying, but I always presumed smb protocol, not the software package. [02:40] there I think I fixed it [02:40] igoryonya, smb procotol is different from "samba", samba was the name chosen for the software package and was derived from the name "SMB" [02:40] Gnea, because I always thought that smb protocol is a shorthand for samba protocol. [02:40] yup works now [02:40] tvaughn: you can do smb://192.168.1.10 [02:40] SMB = "server message block" [02:40] igoryonya: cool. well, in the future, it would be better not to confuse the two when discussing how they actually work, as it will lead users astray. [02:40] Ganymede: how can I make it always do this? [02:41] tvaughn, that i don't know...maybe an /etc/fstab line [02:41] igoryonya: if you're not sure about something, throw it into google and see what happens. [02:41] Ganymede: and how do I unmount it [02:41] Ganymede: tvaughn : yes, can be set in fstab [02:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [02:41] and nevermind I figured it out [02:41] Ganymede: :), now I know that SMB is not short for samba, but an abbreviation. [02:41] tvaughn, umount.cifs probably...be sure to supply the full path the mount point cuz otherwise, it might stay in mtab in my experience [02:42] thanks guys for all the help [02:42] Ganymede: I find it somewhat humerous that the previous fellow that got all pissy and left had referenced the same URL. clearly, he had not actually read it. [02:43] kids there days... [02:43] kids these days...* [02:43] hehehe [02:43] Gnea, that's what I always do, when I am not sure of something, it's just, I was sure about it :), which does not make me not wrong [02:44] igoryonya: lol, well as long as nobody's confused about it [02:45] DasEi1, http://pastebin.com/V1RtCt1A [02:45] man...if i had known "badblocks" was going to take 10 hours to run through... =( [02:46] Is thre a way to install mysql server without it prompting for anything. [02:46] what's an equivalent of chkdsk in linux, I need to check my usb flash for bad "sectors" [02:46] hi all... i'm trying to do remote desktop to windows xp box from my ubuntu machine.. and for some reason... it is very slow..close to unusable (when scrolling down , etc i can see jigged images). I'm sure it is not connection problem, because if i run a windows vm (inside virtual box) inside the ubuntu box, then do a remote desktop to that remote windows machine, it is so much more usable. [02:46] sickly : just to be sure : sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs-config [02:47] igoryonya, for a filesystem check, i think that's usually fsck.vfat or something like that and for bad "blocks", there's the "badblocks" command...hit up the man pages [02:47] sickly : if ntfs-3g was already there, it seems the filesystem is broken [02:47] Ganymede: thanx [02:47] sickly : we can try to force-mount it ( maybe just not cleanly unmounted), else have to use testdisk or a win machine to check the hd [02:49] When I use aptoncd to create a "distro", does live mode still function? [02:49] I couldn't find a clear explanation on web, what's the difference between soft links and hard links? [02:49] DasEi1, it seems i had ntfs-3g, but didnt have the ntfs-config [02:50] sickly: that isn't needed for that mount-thingy, it's just for automounting [02:50] hi all... i'm trying to do remote desktop to windows xp box from my ubuntu machine.. and for some reason... it is very slow..close to unusable (when scrolling down , etc i can see jigged images). I'm sure it is not connection problem, because if i run a windows vm (inside virtual box) inside the ubuntu box, then do a remote desktop to that remote windows machine, it is so much more usable. [02:51] igoryonya: http://linuxgazette.net/105/pitcher.html [02:51] igoryonya, soft links are sorta like files that say, "my content is actually in this other file" and specifies that file either relative to itself or via absolute path. a hardlink is a lower level link...it's sorta like a directory entry that says, "may data is at this location on disk" and it points to the same location as some other file entry and contributes 1 to the "link count"...not sure if that helps at all... [02:52] NeoCicak, I've noticed that slowness with VNC, in comparison to radmin, so I just use radmin over wine. :) [02:52] nunya: thanx [02:52] Ganymede: thanx [02:52] NeoCicak - What are you using? netcat? [02:52] igoryonya: i might as well run remote desktop inside my windows xp vm in that case >.< [02:53] mcurran: netcat? i'm just using the one shipped with ubuntu - terminal server client. [02:53] Yeah, definately VNC if you want the fancy GUI [02:53] igoryonya: No problem. I've been a admin over 10 years and have never used anything but a soft link [02:53] sorry [02:53] This shouldn't be very difficult, and yet somehow it is. I want grub to create a ramdisk, then I want it to copy a liveCD image to the ramdisk, then I want it to boot it. [02:53] sickly: mount -o force -t ntfs /dev/sdf1 /media/ntfs [02:53] well there's many telnet, netcat, smbclient, etc. VNC is the only one I know of, if you want the screen to look like a real remote desktop [02:53] The source of the liveCD ISO would be a path on the physical hard disk. [02:54] nunya, yeah, i feel like a lot of programs are written with hard links in mind and might get confused by them...but i do use hard links to clean up duplicate files and make them use less space [02:54] NeoCicak - Do you have little RAM? That would be a good reason for VNC to be slow. [02:54] without* hard links in mind [02:55] RAM?mm........... i have 2GB of RAM... also.. i'm not using VNC.. i'm using RDPv5 [02:55] mcurran: i've tried VNC... and that performs worse [02:55] Ganymede, I dont know if I have evr actually seen on :) [02:55] on=one [02:56] NeoCicak have you checked things like the connection settings? [02:56] NeoCicak - If you're comfortable just using the terminal, then I would suggest netcat. [02:56] Ganymede: kind of difficult concept, :) I tried, but didn't see the difference between the two in your explanation, I will open the link, posted by nunya [02:56] NetScr1be: yes... i've tried all possible settings... its just slow :( [02:56] nc [02:56] nunya, well for one thing, all files are hard links in a sense...just with a link count of 1. i think the directories . and .. in every directory and considered hard links with higher link counts [02:56] mcurran: i cant see how netcat will give me the windows GUI... i need to do remote ddesktop, unfortunately :( [02:57] sorry, typed userlist and did not see last message to me, please reask [02:58] igoryonya, i guess my description was more OS level and never end-user oriented...a quick summary would be that symlinks can cross filesystems, hardlinks cannot, with hardlinks, you can delete either of the linked files and your data will be safe as long as one hardlink remains so they're all equal in a sense, but with softlinks, you have a destination and a link and if the destination is gone, the link is broken and unusable [02:58] igoryonya, but yeah, do check out the reading [02:59] NeoCiack, do one of your comps have a gigabit card and the other 100Mb, I had slowness issues, with this setup, that I couldn't figure out without changing everything to 100Mb [02:59] Ganymede: yeah you can actually soft link to a file on a nfs mount. Though I dont like to see that, I have seen it. [03:00] igornyonya: i dont think thats the issue... coz if i run windows vm inside that box (inside virtual box), then do a remote desktop from the windows vm to the remote windows machine, the performance is much better [03:02] Hello chaps. Brief question, if I may sound like a total newb - if I'm using Terminal in 9.10 and I want to copy something to the clipboard (for example, cowsay and the command I used before that) for use in another program such as Pidgin, how can I do so? [03:02] Anyone know how to configure x-chat to allow more history, for scrolling back? I changed Settings > Preferences > Interface > Text box > Scrollback lines, but that didn't work... [03:02] EternalCat: A) Select text with mouse pointer, right click, copy [03:02] Ganymede: OK, I got it, the hardlink is kind of like an other entry in the partition table, but symlink (softlink?) is kind of like a windows shortcut. [03:02] Ok guys I am back [03:02] EternalCat: B) Select text with mouse pointer, ctrl+shift+c [03:02] :\ [03:03] eternalcat highlight w/ mouse, right-click, click copy [03:03] igoryonya, yes, symlink is like a windows shortcut (.lnk) file, BUT i don't know about the hardlink/partition stuff you just said [03:03] Right-clicking in terminal just edits the selection I've made, as in, it selects a slightly different part of the text. [03:03] If I install tor will it always be running by default? in ubuntu 9.10? [03:03] I need a command that will display all the files (with path) traversing subdirectories that end with an extension like *.*e [03:03] I just want to be able to enable and disable it for firefox with the torbutton [03:03] igoryonya, do you have any knowledge of filesystems? such as how FAT32/ext3 or anything actually stores hierarchical data on a sequential device? [03:03] Ganymede: i think he's talking about the inode [03:04] Does that make sense? [03:04] NeoCiack: yes the problem did not affect the virtual box for me either (I used VirtualPC), because it also emulated a 100Mb network card, not the 1Gb [03:04] Azelphur: neither seems to be working for some reason. [03:04] EternalCat: weird [03:04] in DOS I could do dir /s /b *.*e [03:04] BittyWitty, find /your/subdirectory/here -type f -iname "*.someextension" [03:04] igornyonya: hmmm .. thats interesting.... the remote windows machine has 1Gb network card, i believe [03:05] what Ganymede [03:05] said [03:05] Azelphur: ctrl+shift+c just produces a ^C in my terminal, which is what I'd have expected from anything which involves ctrl+c+*. [03:05] Ganymede, actually a .lnk file isn't really quite the right analogy - and windows has real symbolic links since like NT4 [03:05] Gany, thanks I'll give it a whirl :) [03:05] a .lnk file is more like a .desktop file on linux [03:05] EternalCat: ^c is ctrl+c, you don't seem to be getting a shift in there. [03:05] Random832, oh, i didn't know that, in fact, i heard windows has true hardlinks also but they're buggy since no one cares about them [03:06] Random832, yeah, i do see the difference between a unix softlink and a windows .lnk, but for the sake of explaining to a user, i'd say they pretty much server the same function [03:06] Azelphur: RightCtrl+RightShift+C does the same thing too. [03:06] serve* [03:06] I know, pretty much FAT16, 32 and NTFS, but not ext3. I've been always confused by all those different types of partitions in linux, but it's understandable, I am using it only for about a month yet. [03:06] also don't forget mac classic Aliases [03:06] EternalCat: weird, what about right click copy? [03:06] somewhere halfway between a symbolic link and a windows shortcut [03:07] Azelphur: like I said, right-clicking just --- oh. my. god. [03:07] (i believe they participated in path resolution, but still were an actual file that contained the data for what they point to and had the magic "fix it if the target moved" like shortcuts) [03:07] igoryonya, you can think about how softlinks just contain a string that's the path to their data whereas hardlinks contain the inode number (i.e. address on the disk) of the data [03:07] Azelphur: I'm an absolute retard. Xterm != Terminal from the Applications menu. [03:07] EternalCat: haha nope, xterm is alot more simple [03:07] a hardlink is no different from the original file [03:08] Azelphur: and I've been using xterm. So, can I revise my question, and ask if there's a way to do it from Alt+F2 xterm? XD [03:08] a directory contains entries that are a string (the name) and the inode number. for a normal file, one of these exists. a hardlink just means another one exists. they are equal in status. [03:08] Random832, yes, in fact, all files are hard links...most with a link count of 1 === sinistrad_ is now known as sinistrad [03:08] EternalCat: I don't know, might aswell use gnome-terminal though [03:08] Random832, I knew that windows had real symlinks since that version, but as far as I know, they were useless, I installed the dll, allowing to create them, but couldn't figure out how to use it :) [03:09] Azelphur: Okay, I'll do that. Thanks for your help. :) [03:09] i think it's about time i reset my analog clocks for daylight savings... [03:09] What are "analog clocks"? [03:09] the key thing about a symbolic link is that it is name-based but participates in path resolution (so you can do foo/bar/_some_link_/baz or directly fopen() the symlink and get the file it points at) [03:11] Ganymede, yes, I can, and that clarifys everything. [03:11] ftw, what do you call those ones with three hands that turn around and point to the number and are driven by gears? [03:11] ftw: in which conclusion ? [03:12] Back to a previous discussion (I've been searching it on google and on U-forums) and there's a word issue relating to "a share" as a noun and specifically "a Windows share". I still havent gotten clear on what this means. Can someone define it for me please? [03:12] Ganymede, clocks [03:12] Random832, and that's why I thought that it's an other pointer in the partition table, because Ganymede posted similar thought earlier. [03:12] Ganymede: I've heard of such things, in the long-ago, in the before-times [03:12] that what is? a hardlink? [03:13] okay a hardlink has two components - there's the pointer in the directory that points at the inode, and there's a number _in_ the inode that keeps track of how many of those there are. [03:13] (so when it reaches zero the file is deleted) [03:13] Random832: about the hardlink being no different from the original file. [03:14] normally only one of the pointers exist and the number is 1 (except for directories, which have a link back from each subdirectory in .. and a link back from itself in .) [03:14] deleted = marked as availble. [03:14] [also, you can't hardlink directories - it used to be possible but very inadvisable on other forms of unix] [03:15] Random832: ok, I got it, the symlink name resolution is what makes it different from windows .lnk file. [03:16] right - a .lnk file is just a file, that contains the name (and other data like command line args etc) in its file contents [03:16] I have a question [03:16] a symlink is "magic" by comparison - you can't "open" a symlink to inspect the name, [ you call readlink() for that], you'll just open the file it points at [03:16] Lets say i want to install a file from my downloads folder through terminal [03:17] SweetHoneyinCali: a Windows Share is a Shared drive or folder on windows, that you can access over the net/lan [03:17] how do i go about doing this? [03:17] ajcarter: is it a deb file [03:17] if I'm going to DD a partition, I don't need to format it beforehand, do I? [03:17] lnk isn't part of the filesystem - without the windows shell (explorer, file open dialogs, etc) they're useless [03:17] the IF partition, that is [03:17] blakkheim: yes its a deb file [03:17] ajcarter: dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb [03:18] when using smbmount to mount windows shares does that show the password over the network in plaintext? [03:18] blakkheim: i'm now learning terminal, could you tell me what the -i option does? [03:18] ajcarter: man dpkg [03:18] ajcarter, stands for install [03:18] cool [03:18] hey folks. I was wondering - is it reliable to do a distro upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? on a 32-bit laptop, if that matters [03:18] ajcarter, of course, you'd want to make sure this .deb is from a reputable source [03:18] [it's easier to use gdebi though, since that'll get dependencies] [03:19] what is the difference between apt-get and aptitutde [03:19] so gdebi /some/file.deb [03:19] ajcarter: clicking on it in nautilus should open apt, but that might be too easy [03:19] can i use them interchangeably? [03:19] What is polipo? [03:19] Slor: i'd do a fresh install [03:20] nvm figured it out [03:20] When tor is installed does it run all the time by default? Allowing other people to browse through me? [03:20] histo: no [03:20] does anyone else see the problem here: fsck will refuse to check an ext4 partition if it's creation time is in the future relative to the system time...if a system loses power and the motherboard battery is drained, time will be reset to about 1990 and fsck will fail...if ubuntu calls fsck on boot for a routine check, it will fail and the system will not boot up...it may be a headless machine and the only way to reach it is ssh [03:20] histo: not per default [03:21] histo: the default conf sets it as a client [03:21] !smbmount [03:21] I meant the OF partition [03:21] Ganymede: yep, but if you run fsck manually, that gets corrected [03:22] !samba [03:22] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:22] Ganymede: ouch.... the headlass part makes it hard === SweetHoneyinCali is now known as SwimmingRat [03:22] damn I cant type on a laptop [03:22] Ganymede, nunya, Random832, sorry, if I missed somebody: thanx, I understand all the differences now. [03:23] hi [03:23] almoxarife: so with it installed I could just start using torbutton right? [03:23] blakkheim - thanks. is 9.10 known to be any more or less performant than 9.04? not sure I _need_ 9.10 for anything specific, but I thought I would upgrade if there's not a good reason not too. [03:23] DasEi1, but you cannot reach the machine in order to run fsck manually when it's headless, in a server room somewhere (god knows where) since it won't boot [03:23] histo: not sure, what does the torbutton do? [03:23] Slor: if you want my opinion, i'd stay with 9.04 and do a fresh install next month with 10.04 [03:23] almoxarife: its a firefox addon to enable disable tor [03:23] ah - hadn't noticed that was close. good call blakkheim [03:24] Ganymede: if you can't access it, you're kinda helpless then, right [03:24] how do i install BT4 Dual boot with vista [03:24] histo: don't you need to tell firefox about tor being a proxy? [03:24] DasEi1, and a filesystem creation time in the future is a pretty bad reason to not fail to boot... [03:24] ray_: this is not a BT support channel [03:24] DasEi1, or rather, to fail to boot [03:24] almoxarife: thats what the button handles it looks like [03:24] can someone give me link to DL 10.4 the site makes you click all over creation then it still isnt clear [03:24] is there a BT support channel? [03:24] histo : yes, can [03:24] !backtrack > ray_ [03:24] ray_, please see my private message [03:25] histo: what about privoxy? [03:25] http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ coachj [03:25] thks [03:25] almoxarife: looks like polipo is being used [03:25] by default [03:26] Ganymede: so responsible is the one who hadn't the server maintenanced right then, battery dained [03:26] histo: cool [03:26] r* [03:26] histo: depends on how you install, can use tor /w or without privoxy,polipo [03:27] DasEi1, 1. be that as it may, i still don't believe a machine should fail to boot for that reason, 2. how can you efficiently survey 1000 machines and locate all the bad batteries? [03:27] DasEi1: when I installed tor it installed polipo as a dependancy [03:27] DasEi1, without downtime? [03:28] Hello all [03:28] DasEi1: ugh this isn't working [03:28] bastid_raZor: this is it right? [03:28] http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-beta1-desktop-i386.iso [03:28] Ubuntu has been Locking on me this last week after a few updates. Anyone going through the same stuff? [03:28] coachj: for 32 bit yes [03:28] can figure it out? [03:28] OK [03:29] Ganymede: if a machine won't boot, isn't reachable by ping or ssh, that's quite a precise sign, also not a good idea to cancel fsck [03:29] cant figure it out [03:29] histo : what isn't working ? [03:29] wunjo: locking up? explain? [03:30] DasEi1: torbutton I installed tor from their repos [03:30] Almoxarife Its locking up when I open Filezilla [03:30] some times its other programs [03:30] DasEi1: it installed polipo and when I go to addons and preferences to test it. Its saying that it can't find the proxy running [03:30] It locks up and I cant even open sysmon [03:30] really frustrating [03:30] wunjo: I had grub disappear after last update, but that is a wubi/grub2 issue [03:31] the latest kernel update broke grub it sets " set root=(hd3,1)" instead of " "set root=(hd2,1)" manual change no luck... [03:31] error message cant find /dev/mapper/cryptroot [03:31] then I reboot everything is fine [03:31] crypt-0: you got a wubi install? [03:31] histo: default port should be 9050, try without additional proxy first, configure socksproxy localhost port 9050 in browser [03:31] wunjo: no errors in messages? [03:31] DasEi1, i'm not sure what you're suggesting...i thought we were talking about detecting a failed battery BEFORE the machine fails to boot...and about fsck, no one is suggesting cancelling it, it's just that fact that it won't run automitaclly on boot when the hardware clock is broken [03:31] Let me look at the log files [03:31] almoxarife, whats qubi [03:32] wubi [03:32] DasEi1: I see it listening on 9050 [03:32] poor wunjo [03:32] crypt-0: you must not have it, you didn't install ubuntu thru windows? [03:32] is there any way that anyone can think of to determine the URL that firefox passes to another local application for it to open it? [03:32] hmmm this didn't work... what did i do wrong.. i tried to type into terminal: sudo dpkg -i /ajcarter/downloads/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [03:33] ajcarter: what error did it say? [03:33] the directory must be wrong [03:33] it said no such file in the directory [03:33] Ganymede: server eqipment same as better home ones alert when voltage drops, servers used to have long lasting rechargeables often, as I saw [03:33] so is anyone running 1o.4? [03:33] histo: tor is listening for polipo on 9050 [03:33] almoxarife, no i havent touched the dreaded OS in ages -- i am using disk encryption though... [03:33] which log file should I look at first? [03:33] !lucid | coachj [03:33] ajcarter: typo on you rpart then.. use TAB to complete names [03:33] coachj: 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 [03:34] ajcarter: CASE is imporntant [03:34] wunjo: /var/log/messages [03:34] Dr_Willis: oooooo it is case sensitive, good to know XD; [03:34] ok [03:34] ok [03:34] ajcarter: and your PATH looks wrong [03:34] sry [03:34] thanks nunya [03:34] ajcarter: /home/USERNAME not /username [03:35] Dr_Willis: i'm new to this XD; thanks [03:36] Ganymede: if the mobo supports it(sensor) will have an alert in messages (ssh) early enough then, but that problem is best solved with a 'big' nicd or NimH, relaoded by the psu [03:36] what would happen if I DD a 225GB partition with 80GB used space from /dev/sda2 to a 100GB partition /dev/sdc1 ? [03:36] Sweet I got it! now its time to learn how to do tricky .tar.gz packages [03:36] tehbaut, it will fail [03:36] is there risk of sdc2/3/4 getting overwritten, or does the copying stop at the end of the 100GB? [03:37] what kind of message should be looking for? Nunya [03:37] DasEi1, ah, didn't know there were sensors for this readable by linux, i'll have to look into that [03:37] tehbaut, the copying will stop with an error when the partition fills up [03:37] tehbaut: filesystem corrupution [03:37] tehbaut: 775 usable free space remainig, the 225-80 only from within this system [03:37] ajcarter: may I suggest you get the 'check-install' package, you may find it handy [03:37] I'm trying to install a theme, but it comes back as not a valid theme, yet other users use it. It's based on the Aurora GTK engine. I have the repo version installed. Why is it backfiring???? [03:37] DasEi1: say what? [03:37] wunjo: any type or errors. [03:37] Ganymede: better mobos have such, and (commercial) server equipment .. see above [03:37] tons of messages [03:37] nunya: recoverable though, right? [03:37] DasEi1, a server may have a long-lasting rechargeable motherboard battery but it could still be a defective one [03:38] almoxarife, no i havent touched the dreaded OS in ages -- i am using disk encryption though... [03:38] tehbaut: maybe with a fsck.... but I think I tried it once and it didnt work. [03:38] well the weird thing is, I can't even resize the big partition in GParted... it's got some exclamation triangle, and Used column shows --- [03:39] Ganymede: earthquake are not predictable, sure, but that small amount of current .. flatpacks are most used, but if you just think of 2 aaa cells for that 3 volts.. everlasting [03:39] nunya: you can of course copy a smaller partition to a larger partition, right? [03:39] almoxarife: i can get that by typeing apt-get file right? [03:39] wunjo: look for times when the compter locked up. [03:39] DasEi1, for earthquakes, i think datacenters usually have seismic bracing for the server rooms [03:39] wunjo: look for things related to the program that froze [03:40] ajcarter: I use synaptic, but I assume apt-get will also work [03:40] Ok [03:40] like this kernal error 0.867263] ahci: probe of 0000:00:1f.2 failed with error -22 [03:40] tehbaut: yes, I have done that and remeber it worked. [03:41] anyone get l4d2 to run smooth with wine? [03:41] nunya: right, well any idea why GParted can't seem to read my Used space on this big partition? ...I tried to resize, but it won't budge [03:41] anyone mod an xbox using ubuntu? [03:41] tehbaut: partition mussn't be mounted for that, use a live cd [03:41] wunjo: maybe, you can also try running the program from the command line in verbose mode and see if it spits out any errors. [03:42] ah, here's an error: "115 clusters are referenced multiply times" [03:42] oh, I know... I just need to reboot windows, and shut down properly [03:42] almoxarife: yeah its there on 9050 but its not working [03:43] :) you can rename and move files by using hardlinks :))) Create a hardlink to an original file somewhere else with the name and the location you want and delete the original file name. :))) [03:43] the latest kernel update broke grub it sets " set root=(hd3,1)" instead of " "set root=(hd2,1)" manual change no luck... [03:43] error message cant find /dev/mapper/cryptroot [03:43] didnt install from windows... [03:44] cool [03:44] tehbaut: the old windows support saying "shutup and reboot!" [03:44] Hello, is there anybody could help me how to resolve keyboard and touchpad not responding in laptop NEC Versa E6500 series? I'm installing Ubuntu 9.10 [03:45] histo: tor is on 9050, tor must get its input from the web proxy (polipo??), so the browser needs to point at the polipo port [03:45] hey guys, was wondering if anyone has issue with sound where the internal speakers cannot get muted when jack is connected? [03:45] and is there a fix for it [03:46] histo: tor is a socks proxy [03:47] how hard is it to use terminal to install a file? [03:47] ajcarter: sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb normally works [03:47] ajcarter: depends on the file I guess. [03:47] ajcarter: usually pretty easy [03:47] like... lets say i have this program called jgrasp in my downloads folder, and its a .zip, how do i approach it? [03:48] ajcarter: with anythong other then .deb - it depends on the package === james is now known as Guest90066 [03:48] Dr_Willis: that's what i figured =\ [03:48] ajcarter: theres soo many ways to 'install' somthing thats 'different' like that [03:48] ajcarter: the program should came with some docs.. [03:48] ajcarter: make a temp directory, unzip it in there. [03:49] ajcarter: it would be a rare Linux app that came as a .zip or .rar [03:49] thats true [03:49] usually tgz or tar.gz [03:49] well this particular file is a .zip X_X [03:50] sal all === mitchell_ is now known as cooperdesktop [03:51] ajcarter: lets assume it was jgrasp, it's a java prog, so you will need java too [03:51] ajcarter: mkdir tmp;mv file.zip tmp/;cd tmp;unzip file.zip [03:51] thank you Nunya i will try that [03:52] wunjo: no problem. [03:53] nunya: .. why not just unzip /tmp file.zip [03:54] it's hard sometimes to tell what the experience level of the person asking the question. I dont know how technical to answer the question [03:55] i'm trying to learn the technical stuff, but i'm a complete beginner [03:56] error message cant find /dev/mapper/cryptroot [03:56] the latest kernel update broke grub it sets " set root=(hd3,1)" instead of " "set root=(hd2,1)" manual change no luck...

If I install Ubuntu 10.04 beta now and install all updates from canonical till 10.04 final release is out...Would my Ubuntu installation be then equivalent to final release... [04:05] I think the answer is yes...but I though of confirming [04:05] AmberJain: thats a top 10 FAQ.. and the answer is Yes.. [04:06] just for anyone interested, Ubuntu looks really darn good with the "Unified" window and controls (from gnome-look) and the Meliae-Dark theme [04:06] Dr_Willis, hehe Thanks for the answer :) [04:07] the latest kernel update broke grub it sets " set root=(hd3,1)" instead of " "set root=(hd2,1)" manual change no luck...

BTW, I'm trying to restore a backup I did :) [04:17] thanks richthegeek [04:17] anzenketh: one moment, just making it better [04:19] Evening [04:20] is there a general run command?

[04:20] I have 6 repo DVDs, I added them with add cdrom to software sources, but how can I copy those cdroms (not as ISOs), to some hdd folder and point software sources to that folder? [04:20] ajcarter: sorry nvm,talking rubbish === cooperdesktop is now known as o_o [04:21] igoryonya: rip them using bravisimo [04:21] wgrant: i'm now learning terminal for the first time ever, its alot of fun. I'm just doing basic stuff that wont damage the comp at all. I created a folder, unzipped something, moved the file, and then redeclare my directory and checked it out with ls and stuff [04:21] the latest kernel update broke grub it sets " set root=(hd3,1)" instead of " "set root=(hd2,1)" manual change no luck... [04:21] Hello world.faron needs help again.I am trying to "edit" something in a program called greasmonkey & I'm being told to choose my rpeferred text editor first.Problem is,I get this box asking me to type in the location.I have been confused by this for a long time now really & I just don't know what to put inn that box.I don't see anything like "applications - accessories - mousepad".So,what do I tell this thing ? [04:21] error message cant find /dev/mapper/cryptroot [04:22] didnt install from windows... === o_o is now known as cooperdesktop [04:22] sorry about thatlong post [04:22] ajcarter: To run a command in the normal system application directories, just type the name of the program. [04:22] wgrant: anyways long story short... i was looking through the files with ls and decided, i want to look at one of these files. And so i have this file called README.txt and i wanted to open it [04:22] ajcarter: Ah. Well. [04:22] Does anyone know much about clearos and its hotlan functionality? [04:22] ajcarter: If you want to open it in a text-editor, use gedit. [04:22] ajcarter: So, 'gedit README.txt' [04:22] ok cool [04:22] so i can use other programs as commands? [04:23] Hi, I have an odd problem with a tar file. When I extract, it uses absolute paths, and it doesn't use my own user for permissions, I'm using the default gnome archive program. What am I doing wrong? :P [04:23] wgrant: Possibly he was looking for some program that mimics the double-click action of nautilus within the terminal? [04:23] that makes perfect sense, XD; [04:23] ajcarter: To open any file with the default configured application for that type, use 'xdg-open FILENAME' [04:23] wgrant: perfec === cooperdesktop is now known as `k === `k is now known as cooperdesktop [04:23] somebody know some software that check the change of hardware at lan? [04:23] ajcarter: If you just type a program name, it will search in the directories you see when you type 'echo $PATH' [04:24] ajcarter: To run a program that is in the current directory, './filename' [04:24] how do i switch from compiz to metacity? [04:24] hal: one way run 'metacity --replace' [04:24] I'm having a problem with a IR Remote control. a friend of mine gave me what he says is a Media Center remote, and i was hoping to use it with Hulu Desktop [04:24] hal: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects, select None. [04:25] Dr_Willis: wgrant , thank you :) [04:25] huzah i got it to work! [04:26] Something else ubuntu will never be able to get right: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/synaptics-driver-enables-multitouch-gestures-on-older-trackpads/ [04:26] i got to go [04:26] Is there a way from the command line for me to find out what services are currently running. [04:26] hi [04:26] Hey everyone I just get a new laptop and it runs intel core i with5 with a 64 bit windows [04:27] anzenketh: 'service --status-all' [04:27] which 9.10 should i get? [04:27] Thank you wgrant [04:27] Does anyone know about HotLAN's in ClarkConnect/ClearOS? [04:28] I have changed from compiz to metacity and back again, and now my screenlet widgets won't disappear. Does anyone know how I fix that? [04:28] how abbout it people ...I've got a box asking me the "location" of mousepad.what the heck do I tell this thing ? [04:28] i tired setting the IR control app to Media center remote with no luck so i did auto detect, and it justs comes up Linux Input Device, and Model as Power Button [04:29] and still dose not seem to work [04:29] faron: perhaps /dev/input/mouse or /dev/input/ps2 [04:29] ah, fixed it - the widget layer was disabled [04:29] Got it working the default polipo config is jacked in ubuntu had to find the one on the tor site [04:29] restarted polipo and all is good with the tor button [04:29] aha now we might be getting somewhere thanks I'll try that but why.... [04:30] would the 32 bit desktop 9.10 be the best choice for my 64 bit intel i5-430M [04:30] when this box should be asking me for the name of a program instead of th e locarion of the program ? [04:31] knuck887: No i would use 64bit obviously [04:31] faron: What is it that's asking you? [04:31] knuck887: 64-bit all the way [04:31] !root [04:31] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:32] I'm supposeed to be picking out an app to "edit" a file I clicked "edit" on [04:32] faron: 'which ' to get location of program. [04:32] as far as the 64 bit goes, i'm not about the AMD64 desktop, would that be alright on with my intel processor? [04:33] & insteaad of asking me the name of the pro to edit the file with I'm being asked the location [04:33] knuck887: The architecture is called amd64, but it works on both AMD and Intel 64-bit processors. [04:33] (not unlike the 'i' in 'i386') [04:34] hi - is $EDITOR as system variable? i have it in a script here but by ubuntu doesn't resolve it. do i have to set it once? [04:34] thanks, i'll give that a shot [04:34] i saw a video on you tube where in compiz two windows were linked together and made back to back then rotated.. how do i do that? [04:34] k3rn: It's designed for users to override the default system editor. Call the 'sensible-editor' script, which checks $EDITOR and uses the system default if it's not set. [04:35] I just installed firefox 3.6. But every time I launch firefox I'm still running 3.5.8, or whatever comes with 9.10 [04:35] n0obsaibot: you probably saw the cube [04:35] no i have the cube [04:35] hrm [04:35] oh [04:35] by the way Dr...that wasn't the right path I guess [04:35] two windows.. linked together back2back [04:35] yea i am running ubuntu karmic - he doesn't seem to recongnise $EDITOR - do i have to set it once manually? [04:35] Dear all, I installed ubuntu-server 9.04,but I can player mplayer on it. There's no sound. And mplayer told me that can't find the file 'dev/dsp'. How can I solve it? [04:35] can't recall... [04:36] is there like a newer version of compiz not in 9.10 repositories? [04:36] n0obsaibot: That may be the 'Group & Tab Windows' plugin. [04:36] k3rn: edit ~/.bashrc and then add this: export EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" or something [04:36] By the way, mplayer is compiled by myself [04:36] I just installed firefox 3.6. But every time I launch firefox I'm still running 3.5.8, or whatever comes with 9.10 [04:36] k3rn: You shouldn't use $EDITOR yourself. [04:36] ect`: Why did you build mplayer yourself, rather than using the version in the repositories? [04:37] That's an old version. [04:37] wgrant: why shouldn't he? [04:37] I must test some new features [04:37] Thanks [04:37] faron: '/usr/bin/gedit' [04:37] im tring to instal ubuntu in my laptop i boot from the dvd and then go to the option instal ubunto then the pc starts to "think" after 10 minutes apear a lot of errors an then it popups to me the start sesio ubuntu but i donknow the user name nor the password [04:37] W43372: depeding on how you installed the 3.6 it may have a icon with a different name in th emenus. [04:37] Gnea: Because 'sensible-editor' respects it and works properly if $EDITOR is unset. [04:37] Do all normal applications go into the etc folder? [04:38] ajcarter: /etc contains configuration files. [04:38] asphael: Verify the cd (there is an option for that in menu) [04:38] no, usually usr/bin [04:38] or opt [04:38] ajcarter: apps go whever they are supposed to :) [04:38] Dr_Willis: I found a page online that told me what to type into the terminal to add a repo and install it, let me find you the link. [04:38] kvsls -la [04:38] wgrant: I see. [04:38] k3rn: what do you need $EDITOR set for? [04:38] W43372: i tend to use the firefox-stable ppa i belive.

I'll check alsamixer [04:42] any please help this , I know the ipaddress of a system, but i want to know the system name of that ip .. [04:42] ok [04:42] Dr_Willis: ? [04:42] MSK: this is what dns is for [04:42] I cant use SCIM with Smuxi. [04:43] MSK, the command is host [04:43] Gnea: pcm. Master seems to be not... uh... controllable with alsamixer either, it just sits at 00 [04:43] theadmin: that's odd. can you manually select master fro the alsamixer and 'm' it to a degree? [04:43] *from [04:44] Gnea: Sorry, did not understand that [04:44] theadmin: can you mute master from alsamixer? [04:44] leagris: i get the following error when i give host 10.0.0.68 -- Host 68.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [04:44] W43372: follow the ubuntu wiki pages. is the best bet. [04:44] I'm trying to edit a file...when I click on "edit" I get a box asking me to "choose your preferred text editor first".On the left in this box is "search,recently used,bobby,desktop & filesystem".On top in this box is an empty box beggin me to put in a "location" for mousepad.Anybody know what I tell this thing ? [04:44] leagris: actually 10.0.0.68 is a Win-xp system [04:44] anyone know if there's a channel for discussing lucid beta? [04:45] misterB: #ubuntu+1 [04:45] MSK, this mean there are no PTR DNS entry for that host on the delegated DNS zone [04:45] Gnea: Hm, it mutes automatically whenever i set PCM to null... guess it wasn't exactly "muted", it just was close to 0. Because that applet doesn't have a mute button :/ [04:45] Gnea: thanks [04:45] Dr_Willis: I've already installed it. The only firefox that appears in my menu is the one that launches 3.5.8. Where would it have installed in the filesystem? [04:45] theadmin: ah okay. yeah, if it's not really 100% muted, as in 'MM', then you're likely to hear a little bit of sound from it [04:45] Gnea: Sound? Yeah, but hissing? [04:46] theadmin: hissing is a sound. my suggestion would be to actually mute the PCM and Master, if you can, from alsamixer, and see if the hissing reoccurs [04:46] W43372: Check whether it is set to launch "firefox-3.5" or "firefox" [04:46] Gnea: It no longer does [04:46] MSK, windows does not use DNS but WINS. [04:47] theadmin: good? [04:47] theadmin: it says firefox %u in properties [04:47] leagris: will u please help me how to solve this issue ? [04:47] anyone using gnome3? [04:48] Gnea: Yeah but i'd actually preffer it to be mutable from this applet. Oh well. [04:48] what's a good programming IDE for java in Ubuntu? [04:48] theadmin: perhaps there is another applet with more functionality. [04:48] W43372: Good, it should launch latest then. Sorry, if it doesn't, no idea [04:48] ajcarter: Netbeans is a rather cool one, but it's also pretty huge [04:49] oh shit i just did a 'sudo chmod a+r+w+x -R /tmp/' by accident =/ [04:49] how do i set the normal rights back? [04:49] MSK: Places >> Network (Should show computers on your local network by name) [04:49] k3rn: Let me check mine [04:49] CrustyBarnacle: that is true .. it shows all the names .. there are 100s of systems [04:50] k3rn: Mine seem to be rwxrwxrwx (777) [04:50] ajcarter: eclipse or netbeans [04:50] theadmin: okay so nothing changed - right? [04:51] k3rn: Hope so... [04:53] MSK I guess if you are on a 100 workstation windows network you should look how to setup samba and /etc/nsswitch.conf to propeerly resolve host name against WINS services and/or active directory (if corporate network). I guess there are some tutorials and docs on Ubuntu support sites. [04:53] ns ghost demonaci patches [04:53] which IDE is lighter, netbeans or eclipse? [04:54] ajcarter: Netbeans is just huge, around 200MB. Never tried eclipse, but i'm most certain it's lighter [04:55] i still don't get the $EDITOR varibale in the script [04:55] Hey kids at home, try this command: rm -rfv /* [04:55] is there a way to remap certain keys on the keyboard [04:55] ajcarter, emacs :), sorry, I can't qualify any of these as light. If you opt for eclipse I advice you to install it not from the ubuntu packages especially if you need to add plugins. [04:55] leagris: thank u leagris i will try out that [04:55] my karmic doesn't understand it - it seems like it's not set [04:55] ubottu: danger | Quanda's command [04:55] Quanda's command: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [04:56] Quanda: Also, that should be ran as root ;) [04:56] ajcarter: you might want an editor rather than an ide if you want light [04:57] ajcarter: geany is a good 'editor thats also has ide features' depends on your exact needs [04:57] anyone ever gotten dsl working in karmic without breaking network-manager? [04:58] misterB: Huh? It should be working right away [04:58] How can I determine the name of the USB bridge of my external USB hard disk? [04:58] theadmin: can't dialup [04:58] misterB: Wait, maybe it's not DSL but PPPOE? [04:58] it is [04:59] misterB: You can't use networkmanager for that :P There is a package called gnome-ppp, use that [04:59] misterB: I prefer wicd over network manager anyday [04:59] Gnea: wicd rocks but doesn't have any VPN plugins :( [04:59] theadmin, I can assure you that nm-applet has a place to configure a DSL connection [04:59] theadmin: if I use it, will I be able to switch back to network-manager easily when I upgrade to lucid, or will it be problematic? [05:00] misterB: It does not replace network manager [05:00] magn3ts: it does, but it's broken in karmic [05:00] im getting this erros message when trying to un bittrorent this file unable to load ubuntu 10.4.1 beta 1 desktop amd64.iso not enought storeage ia avaliable to process this command [05:00] magn3ts: Yeah, it's broken though [05:00] misterB, theadmin, oops looks like someone is late to the party :O [05:00] theadmin: okay, thanks. I'll give it a try. [05:00] anyone familar with this [05:01] I need help with wpa_supplicant. When i run the command its says the following drivers are installed: wext, nl80211, amtel, wired... I need to enable madwifi drivers, and i believe they are already installed by default on 910..Network says im using auth5. Any help please [05:01] im getting this erros message when trying to un bittrorent this file unable to load ubuntu 10.4.1 beta 1 desktop amd64.iso not enought storeage ia avaliable to process this command [05:01] hello [05:01] sekyourbox: are you trying to connect to wifi via command line? [05:02] markdd, what does that message tell you? [05:02] what do you mean [05:02] the message makes no sense [05:02] !lucid | markdd [05:02] theadmin: good point [05:02] markdd: 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 [05:02] i have pleanty of storage [05:02] sekyourbox: are you trying to use iwconfig to connect to the network? [05:02] histo, I'm trying to get rid of the network manager and use wpa supplicant.. [05:02] sekyourbox: ahh [05:03] markdd: How much free space do you have and are you sure you are saving it to a place with enough? [05:03] i have 799 gb free [05:03] sekyourbox: I got it working on my old laptop I remember boxing with the config for every [05:03] so yes i have enough storage [05:03] sekyourbox: ever not every [05:03] hello, i'm trying to pass the following output as an argument via pipe -- to something that says, "remove each line" (trying to keep this a one liner) -- the following produces about 5 lines of text: find ./ -name "._*" anyone have any suggestions? something like... | rm $i? [05:03] not saying it trying to unbittoreent it [05:04] markdd: Where does it say you are saving it? maybe it is defaulting to a different drive/parition? [05:04] histo, madwifi is not listed in drivers, and i cannot use wext. [05:04] nope [05:04] histo, not much online support [05:04] jzacsh: find with a -exec and a + ? [05:04] im opening it from its loacted in a temp folder on my drive that has pleanty of space [05:05] i have a really important but silly question. When referencing a file that has white space, such as um File Name how do you reference it in Terminal? [05:05] sekyourbox: nah debian seems to have more information on getting it going then ubuntu has documentatino on it. There is some in the wifi docs [05:05] !wireless | sekyourbox [05:05] sekyourbox: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:05] Trying to repeat a message asked yesterday: What does "Please carefully... all instructions... on manufacturer..." mean when i boot up? (can't actually read it completely, dissapears to fast, any idea how to read it would be good) [05:05] jzacsh: xargs [05:05] markdd: I must be missing some thing, what is unbittoreent [05:05] ajcarter: you can either put quotation marks like "file name" or you can escape the white space with a backslash [05:06] like so: file\ name [05:06] bittorrent i don't know what you call it when you use bittorrent to get a file [05:06] theadmin: probably telling you to read the manual that came with your computer or consult the manufacturer's website [05:06] markdd: so you have a folder, and in it is what? The iso file? [05:06] markdd: Something like Transmission, uTorrent, etc? [05:06] chelz: Why would i do that lol everything works. [05:06] cool so that way you treat the white space as a character? [05:07] ajcarter, any secial character must be escaped with a \ or whole reference quoted lets say the filename is: file name you reference it with "file name" or 'file name' or file\ name [05:07] kinda like in java how \ designates special unicode characters that will not display in strings [05:07] Does anyone here know if Linux drivers are up to the challenge of hardware-accelerated video playback, such that I could play a 720p h264 video, upscale it to 1080p, and output it through HDMI, all in real time with no lag? [05:07] theadmin: same as any warning label. probably stuff about "don't throw your computer into a bathtub full of water" [05:07] its bittorrent [05:07] yeah, I tend to just use my tab key to autocomplete long file names [05:07] what do you call it when u use bittorent [05:07] to get a file [05:07] i don't know [05:07] markdd: to torrent [05:07] yea whatever [05:07] i have a torrent [05:07] bittorrent file* [05:08] ajcarter: Yeah, you can use any "\char" to escape any character basically, (escape means display as character and not as some special mark) [05:08] its telling me i don't have spoce to bittoreent it [05:08] markdd: you might need to free up some space then. try deleting files after backing them up, say by burning them [05:08] i suggest infrarecorder on window [05:08] How can I determine the name of the USB bridge of my external USB hard disk? [05:08] markdd, did you instruct your torrent downloader where to put files? [05:10] yes [05:12] What email program is used in Ubuntu??? [05:13] root_: Evolution is there by default. [05:13] root_: Evolution [05:13] I am looking for a simple email client that enables POP email [05:13] My PC has an Ubuntu host op sys, VMware, and a few Windows and Ubuntu guest op systems installed. I want to share a folder on the Ubuntu host so I can access it from each of the Guest op systems. That was easy with the Windows Guests because VMware handled it automatically for me. However, I'm struggling with sharing a folder on the Ubuntu Host and then accessing it from an Ubuntu Guest. [05:13] any suggestions? [05:13] root_: Evolution should work fine [05:13] markdd: might be using a tempdrive without a lot of room on it [05:14] root_: or you can try Mozilla Thunderbird [05:14] root_: Please do not write three question marks in a row in this channel. This is considered rude. [05:14] i know i shouldnt ask questions about backtrack but will Evolution work on backtrack?? [05:14] " [: 747: -ne unexpected operator " what does this mean? i am getting this before my error echo message (bash script). [05:14] Question: Should I upgrade my computer from 9.10 to 10.04 beta? [05:14] doinitwrong [05:14] charles_: that's officially unsupported by this channel. you should probably check the vmware site. you could try installing the vmware tools though, should be similar to the windows method. [05:15] justinjstark, that's a matter of opinioin [05:15] but YES [05:15] Hello.. Can u help me in starting Counter Strike 1.6 in UBUNTU? [05:15] justinjstark: No. Please wait for at least May 15th. [05:15] k3rn: can you pastebin the script? [05:15] bullgard, May? I can't wait until May [05:15] Maybe I can wait for RC1 [05:16] BoondoKLife: let me try - give me a sec [05:16] Nautilus keeps crashing on me and I'm hoping a gnome update could fix this [05:16] I keep getting disconnected from my office VPN. Any ideas why this would happen? [05:16] Can you tell me this? How come each time I share a folder in my Ubunto Host op sys, the share is gone when I reboot the host? That question would be essentially the same even if I had only one Ubuntu installed. [05:17] I'll get connected and as soon as i start browsing, it disconnects. === Demonaci is now known as loser [05:17] Is there a way to sha1sum or md5sum a directory? [05:18] BoondoKLife: http://pastbin.com/68YjK1RX [05:18] The share only persists (in host op sys) in Ubuntu until I reboot. Then it's gone. Are Ubuntu file shares only supposed to persist until rebooting? How could I make the share be there whenever I boot up? [05:18] charles_: There are several file sharing mechanisms available in Ubuntu. You better tell the channel which one dd you use? [05:18] s/dd/did/ [05:18] hey [05:19] anyone know alittle about python [05:19] I right clicked the file and then clicked "Sharing Options" [05:19] rtyui, i do [05:19] So I used the Ubuntu gui [05:20] wow java beans is so much better than jgrasp X_X why did that class make us use such a lame IDE? [05:20] exit [05:20] BoondoKLife: you got the link? pastebin was wrong typed [05:20] i keep gettting errors from indenting [05:20] k3rn: that isnt coming up for me. try here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:20] how can i fix it [05:20] !who | charles_ [05:20] charles_: 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 :) [05:21] is there any programs out there that can fix it [05:21] cause i keep trying different spacing and nothing works [05:22] BoondoKLife: check the link again - i mistyped the word pastebin [05:22] bullguard asked which Ubuntu file sharing mechanism I tried. I tried the gui by right clicking on the file, then left clicking Sharing Options [05:23] i keep getting IndentationError: unexpected indent [05:23] rtyui: You will probably get a satisfactory answer faster in the #openoffice.org channel. [05:23] k3rn: ok, what is the entire error you get? [05:23] hmm [05:23] thanks [05:24] charles_, you may sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf but ther may be gui tools for that instead. [05:25] BoondoKLife: [: 747: -ne unexpected operator [05:25] BoondoKLife: and then my echo error msg [05:26] Which file sharing interface is best, or does it matter? [05:27] hello [05:27] How can I determine the name of the USB bridge of my external USB hard disk? [05:28] !ask | kt [05:28] kt: 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. :-) [05:28] bullgard, he didn't [05:28] ur doing it wrong [05:28] !hello | kt [05:28] kt: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

I need to figure out how to recover the data, are there any programs in Ubuntu that can do this? [06:08] For reference, it's a FAT-32 formatted drive. I tried a few Windows recovery programs but none of them worked [06:09] ActionParsnip: with ccd2iso it's doesn't work so I try with k3b!!! thanks for your help [06:09] leeping_: look at fsck.vfat [06:09] leeping_: foremost [06:09] leeping_: just recopy the data to the partition after formatting, or restore from backup [06:10] scalpel is better than formost btw [06:10] hey guys, are there are tools that can be used in ubuntu to set up a usb-bootable windows xp [06:10] foremost and scalpel are data recovery programs? [06:10] ActionParsnip: Your answer is wrong. [06:11] mtx_init, I'm a bit hesitant to use fsck because I'm worried it'll write to my drive if I set the wrong options.

[06:11] imo yes [06:11] johnzorn: more proven yes [06:11] bullgard: it shows the block devices as well as where they are mounted, you can also use gparted but it wont really distinguish the ub drive from the internal [06:11] imo = in my opinioni [06:12] johnzorn: ext4 is pretty stable, ext3 is very well established and pretty solid [06:12] leeping_: make a binary image of it with dd [06:13] leeping_: dd if=/dev/usb of=usbimage [06:13] are there any tools for ubuntu that i can use to make a bootable flashdrive for windows xp? [06:13] find the descriptor by sudi fdisk -l [06:13] imo = imo's pizza [06:13] leeping_: you can use foremost on the partition itself, you will need a larger destination partition to spit the data onto [06:13] mtx_init, that's a good idea. I'll do that. ActionParsnip, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that too [06:13] jguzikowski: unetbootin may do it [06:14] unetbootin works in ubuntu?

But I will not write another one just for you. Please put a more specific question here in this channel addressed to everyone. [06:46] there's a SUDO password that you put in during setup. [06:46] I am getting prompted when I try to add/remove programs or update programs [06:46] Sath, they probably have a default username/password . I'd google your brand and see what comes up. [06:46] ActionParsnip, thanks, the reinstall fixed it [06:46] Appreciate it. [06:47] Sath: Mabe it's set to log in automatically. There ALWAYS is a password. [06:47] theadmin: also, it works fine from a session on the actual machine [06:47] the user password, it might not login with it, but you need it to run any type of admin function to a linux system [06:47] no prompt [06:47] It's a dell inspiron 910 [06:47] Sath> oh it came with ubuntu? [06:47] when I went to the user topic there was no password entered in any field, but to change it, it asked for a password -.- [06:47] Yes [06:48] I've only used windows before but I saw some cool math/science apps and was really looking forward to trying them out [06:48] pvh_sa|wrk: nice [06:48] I made an md5sum of a bunch of files, then I moved them to an external, how do I check that md5sum? [06:48] those pesky forgotten passwords can be such a chore [06:48] Sath: lol that's a pretty unusual reason to switch... [06:48] I know I can do md5sum -c [06:48] Sath> did you by chance just leave them blank and press enter? [06:48] so far, for a basic cpanel replacement for my clients, ispConfig 3 seems decent [06:48] but like, it doesn't work, because the md5sum says it goes to ~/, when it's going to /media/external/ [06:49] Well, I have 2 main windows PCs and my wife has a windows PC as well, but I'd heard linux was a better choice for a lot of things [06:49] I tried the blank password already :( [06:49] along with every password I've ever had in my entire life [06:49] and all variations of them [06:49] ok, see if he finds a default for you [06:49] dell mini what?

[07:00] Having issues getting to the recovery boot, neither esc nor shift worked, I'm in the setup menu right now [07:00] or do I have to md5 again? [07:00] and it has Quickboot enabled, I don't suppose that is part of the issue? [07:01] Sath> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [07:01] Sath> did you try that link? [07:01] mtx_init, fsck is returning an error. It says : "only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 235." [07:01] Hi! I have a problem with my Frontech ecam JIL 2214. When gstream-properties is used it works perfectly alright. But when I use skype or cheese webcam booth any other application it does show blank. This webcam is fully functional with www.chatroulette.com and u can see me online. Can u provide a fix? [07:01] leeping_: maybe it only does fat and fat16 [07:01] ActionParsnip, are you still here? It seems foremost is a way to recover individual files, whereas I'm hoping to get the entire partition back [07:01] ravibn> try skype prefrences? [07:01] Yeah I clicked it but it has said the same thing you guys said, aka press esc to select recovery boot [07:01] which is what I'm having trouble accessing :\ [07:01] shazbotmcnasty: yes :D [07:01] mtx_init, it supports FAT32. I just don't know if it recognizes my disk as such [07:02] ActionParsnip, YES [07:02] is it mounted leeping_ ? [07:02] misterB> do you need a log in or user name to get on the dsl? [07:02] mtx_init, the partition doesn't show up. It simply says /dev/sdb [07:02] do somebody has tripwire installed? [07:02] although it does say 'hold' the shift key, I'll try that [07:02] There is no /dev/sdb1 [07:02] s4aluck: do you have a question? [07:02] leeping_: then use a wildcard for the mask of files yuo require recovering. Do you not have a backup of the data. This would be smarter and easier and garuntee results [07:02] Nitrohax: I tried that and there is a test button. when I press that it shows blank options ---> video [07:02] SpaceGhostC2C: yes, I was trying to make the setting but something went wrong [07:02] ActionParsnip, I wish I had. They aren't my files, there is no backup [07:03] leeping_: try fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1 [07:03] s4aluck: you should ask your question. What exactly are you trying to do, and what is happening? [07:03] see if it works [07:03] Nitrohax : it really works great with www.chatroulette.com why not with skype? [07:03] mtx_init, No such file or directory [07:04] there should be a setting with skype to control the hue and brightness [07:04] mtx_init, the best luck I've had so far was with GetDataBack (a Windows program). It was able to recover most of the files except for the most recent ones, and the directory names got all scrambled up [07:04] ActionParsnip: what did you nmean by a wildcard? [07:04] SpaceGhostC2C: See this http://pastie.org/877842 [07:04] leeping_: I use it all the time, its pretty good [07:04] mtx_init, do you know if it's possible to get directory names back? [07:04] Nitrohax : lette me try changing that in skype once again [07:04] mtx_init: a * like in searches etc, it means ';everything' [07:05] leeping_: I usually just take what it gives [07:05] leeping_: if all else fails,try testdisk,but read about its useage first before using. [07:05] Both shift and network boot are bringing me to a MBR 2FA: prompt [07:05] I am so confused, lol [07:05] nomad77, I tried testdisk as well. It first reports no partition found. If I try the deeper scan, it seems to report a partition found, but doesn't allow me to select it [07:06] nomad77, I think I should be able to get some utility out of testdisk, but I don't know why it's not allowing me to select the partition that it found [07:06] maybe the partition is blank because it has no name? [07:07] leeping_: hmm well distrowatch-search will let you look for forensic,recovery distro's,etc. [07:07] nomad77, I'll see if I can find anything there. Let me try testdisk again though :) [07:07] I cannot for the life of me figure out why my computer won't let me into this area [07:07] Nitorhax : there are no hue and brightness setting are not there in Skype under options---->video devices but it is pointing to the correct device file /dev/video0 [07:08] one sec [07:08] SpaceGhostC2C: I think I made something wrong. Probably I made mistake with editing the setins. Can you help? [07:08] leeping_: you only need testdisk or dd_rescue if trhe drive is physically failing, you can use foremost directly on the partition if its healthy [07:09] MBR 2FA prompt again, ugh [07:09] ActionParsnip, I doubt that I can use foremost if Ubuntu can't find the partition.. it can only find the device. or am I mistaken? [07:09] Nitrohax : my Q is how come it is working with www.chatroulette.com and gstreamer-properties why not with any other apps ? [07:09] leeping_: then use the device raw, its all good [07:09] nomad77, testdisk reports having found a FAT32 partition, but it doesn't allow me to select it after the search is over. I don't know why it's doing this [07:09] Anybody know of a good DEBIAN manager?

[07:10] DcMeese: debian isnt supported here [07:10] ActionParsnip: Oh :( why not? [07:10] do somebody know how to edit the setins for tripwire??? [07:10] Nitrohax : thank u I will wait for your answer [07:10] leeping_: foremost wont find much more than getdataback, but its a try [07:11] mtx_init, do you know if foremost tries to get the directories back too? [07:11] DcMeese: because this is ubuntu, not debian support channel. [07:11] leeping_: it doesnt [07:11] SpaceGhostC2C: :) thanks [07:11] Ok, maybe I can approach this a different way. Someone else suggested that if I can't get this to work I can download a newer version and reformat? [07:11] DcMeese: later friend. [07:11] hello friends [07:11] ravibn> so when you click on the test button in the window you aren't seeing anythign but on other programs you are seeing stuff? and it's pointed at the right device? am i correct? [07:11] SpaceGhostC2C: Im not leaving lol [07:11] leeping_: its a forensics application, its there to look at descriptors of files rather than recover them.

I'd ask in inkscape. If its a proprietary format you may luck out [07:14] mtx_init, thanks! [07:14] i tried to upgrade my ubuntu istallation on my eeepc and seems like it stucked at the very end. it did downloaded all the packeges, it did installed them and then while "cleaning up" (less than one minute remaining - as it said) it stuck in "processing triggers for python support" . Any ideas what to do? (by the way i tried to ctrl-c and i got a message that if i do that i might leave the system broken and finally backed off. [07:15] ravibn> i sent you a pm [07:15] how to open cdr format in ubuntu [07:15] Nitrohax : What pm? [07:16] Nitroxhax: what ? [07:16] flukebox> nm you must not be a fan of fluke the band [07:16] :P [07:16] that must be the case [07:17] how to open corel draw file in ubuntu [07:17] ok i just got a message to go on ;) [07:17] mihir: did you ask where another user told you to go ask? [07:17] mihir: from what I have been able to find, there is no way to open a .cdr file with Inkscape. [07:18] ravibn> well since the private message (pm) isn't working. i would try to video chat with a skype user and see if they can see you. Seems more like a skype program glitch [07:18] hi - is the new light theme available anywhere? [07:18] Nitrohax : No ! I need it for video conf with my clients across globe [07:19] I would like to experiment with it wihout trying the whole karmic beta [07:19] mihir: if a drawing created in coreldraw can be saved as .svg, then Inkscape should be able to open it as it deal with .svg quite nicely. [07:19] ravibn> unless you want to tell me your skype number and or name here and i try to connect with you that's my solution. i think it's just skype not showing you the test picture. so test it on another user [07:19] timClicks: karmic isn't in beta, Lucid is. [07:19] if someone else knows differently, please correct me. [07:20] Nitrohax : sure my skype id ravi.kumar.b.n [07:20] mihir: this may work or try the gimp http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=sk1 [07:20] SpaceGhostC2C: *facepalm* [07:20] Nitrohax : can u give me your skype id pl [07:21] but in that case we need to embade image and it will almost turn out to be jpg file which cannot be ungrouped in inkskape [07:22] so did ubuntu send out an update for video drivers?

[08:38] Baloe4567: Sleep time for me.. but, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9963 [08:38] mrselfpwn, ok, what options have i got to click or not or what i have to set to do that? [08:38] CrustyBarnacle I know and lenny worked, testing worked, hardu worked, Jaunty give nasty error and after that nothing works [08:38] wolf89: how do you plan on using something as cli intensive as backtrack, though are not able to figure that out? [08:39] Baloe4567: Try Karmic instead? [08:39] wolf89: do you have the ram to run one in virtual? [08:39] mrselfpwn: fatcake is using efi? [08:39] CrustyBarnacle thats the point it doesnt work .. seems like the netboot installer is bugged, but all the toturials speak fine of it [08:39] almoxarife, yep.. [08:39] wolf89: honestly, i haven't installed to harddisk, i would havve to look at it [08:39] i get it...vmware..=) [08:39] chelz: ah, nvm [08:40] hi all, i have MTNL modem lsusb shows 0451:6060 ,it gets detected after modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x6060 but wvdialconf not works with this [08:40] roughmouth: lexmark x3650? [08:40] dmesg shows usbserial_generic 4-2:1.0: generic converter detected usb 4-2: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [08:40] fatcake: follow this: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 [08:40] thx guys!bye bye=) [08:40] roughmouth: depends on your gfx card [08:41] as well ifconfig also not shows detected usb modem [08:41] roughmouth: please talk in the channel. good to hear you got it printing. [08:41] I think so, and I tried to download the missing file, because it didn't have a problem until i went to restart it and now I can't find the files that were in music and photos. Is EFI the wrong one? [08:41] sory chelz [08:42] i have a gfx 260 nvidia card [08:42] Baloe4567: I'll have to try it myself... good luck [08:43] roughmouth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd5HoC0VaQM [08:43] iil go chek it out [08:43] roughmouth: also for fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhMErNsEoZw [08:44] i want to download the lib files one time ,but how [08:44] chelz, any idea about why modem is getting detected with wvdialconf [08:44] Hi can anyone help me with a 'grub loading' issue? [08:45] ranjb: lost it after update? [08:46] roughmouth: nvidia-settings should set things up pretty well [08:46] i can play game on ubuntu or not? [08:46] I have 2 laptops and on 1 laptop i have successfully installed 9.10 on the other one which is a same brand laptop but slightly higher spec. I can install but once it restarts all I get is 'grub loading' no other message. I have Windows 7 installed already on the laptop. Could this be the cause? [08:47] Sigh, is there a way in rhythmbox to get play counts of songs?> [08:47] I have heard that I have to ensure that grub is installed on the ubuntu partition [08:47] amani: depends on the game. there are lots of games for linux but playing Windows games on linux can get tricky [08:47] i get this message when i try to save - Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! [08:47] does anyone know how I do this. I was going to download gparted and run it on both laptops and see how each of the disks are setup and partitioned [08:48] is there any voting applications in ubuntu [08:48] ranjb: all you need is an ubuntu livecd. the livecd has parted on it as Partition Editor. [08:48] any idea chelz? [08:48] game like nfs, hello etc [08:48] ranjb: try #2 here: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 [08:49] so by default if i have dual booted the laptop and ubuntu is my second OS install where will it store grub? will it store this on a windows MBR? [08:50] roughmouth: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:50] Hi, is there a way to change the order of the playlist columns in rythmbox? [08:50] the current order is very akward to me [08:50] ranjb: grub usually has its files on an ubuntu partition and installs another part to the root of a drive. it's much more reliable to have grub boot with the system rather than anything from microsoft [08:51] where i foun the game for ununtu?? [08:51] ok that makes sense, I will have a look at the link you sent [08:51] thanks [08:51] amani: Applications -> Software Center [08:52] in ubuntu [08:52] when Im behind the office proxy I cant update.Any help please? While web browsing does not fail for the same repository source. [08:52] chelz: what is that suposed to do [08:52] researcher1: that's something to talk to your office IT staff about [08:52] how to change the buttons of the window to right side , its left sided now [08:52] roughmouth: reset xorg.conf so nvidia-settings can edit it [08:53] tushar: lucid help is in #ubuntu+1 [08:53] chelz: ok ill give that a try [08:53] whenever I press ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to the desktop after using a tty shell, my netbook goes into suspend. Any ideas on how to stop this?

Then restarting the X session with startx. Doing this will create a brand new xorg.conf file with the absence of not having one." [08:54] aurilliance: what model? [08:54] I have configure proxy settings to enable access to Internet but update is failing with the message 'Proxy authentication required ".

You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [08:56] researcher1: so the proxy needs authentication, did you supply this, or do you just do it with your firefoxß [08:56] researcher1: "Open up your Synaptic package manager (usually as root), go to Settings-> Preference -> Network. Enter your proxy server details like : username:password@proxyserver.net, and put the proxy server port (usually 8080)." [08:56] CrustyBarnacle: this is not asked for,i believe ;-) [08:56] I did with firefox n also did in System-Preferences-Network Proxy [08:57] nibbler: indeed === harry is now known as Guest3558 [08:57] researcher1: sounds like youdidnt do it correctly in synaptic.... check if you did it exactly like chelz said - but issnt it http://user:pass@proxy? [08:57] anyone can tell me how to configure 0451:6060 usb modem in Linux? [08:57] nibbles: ok [08:58] nibbler: this link failed [08:58] let me correct n report soon [08:59] researcher1: this is not a link, this is a scheme that needs to be adapted and used as proxy definition [08:59] Does Ubuntu have any issues with being installed on an SSD? [08:59] Anybody have some PXE knowledge ? I cant install karmic from PXE it just hangs at initrd.gz loading [08:59] tell me some games name?? [08:59] Baloe4567: if you get it to initrd loading i'd say your pxe works fine, maybe the hardware just wont boot with karmic? [09:00] researcher1: http://user:pass@proxy:port [09:00] amani, crawl [09:00] exit [09:01] nibbler well it boots the installfor the server CD disk and also lenny/hardy/testing works .. just not karmic and lucis insallers.Also install kamric earlier with a usb stick [09:02] Baloe4567: strange, did you disable splash screens and quiet modes in grub? [09:02] that didnt work [09:02] :( [09:02] nibbler if i can even install grub i could .. i cant even get the installer which should be super simpleto acces with the default settings [09:03] Baloe4567: what kind of install? [09:03] almoxarife netboot install [09:04] I can't keep firefox open for more than 30 seconds so that I can read about fixing my problem. [09:04] karmic and lucid are grub2, what are the other debian you listed Baloe4567? [09:06] my finger print reader not work..... [09:06] whenever I press ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to the desktop after using a tty shell, my netbook goes into suspend. Any ideas on how to stop this? [09:06] fatcake: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old then restart [09:06] fatcake: restart firefox, that is [09:06] almoxarife Debian stable installed fine, Debian testing installed but i get kernelpanic after install and hardy gets me into the install screen fine.But karmic doesnt give me a install screen.Which is odd because i tried the HD-media one and CD one and those works perfectly only can use them to install [09:06] Baloe4567: did you use alternate installer? [09:06] someone that knows a graphical filemanager (midnight commander style) that actually MOVES files? and not: copies them and when all the files are copied, deletes them [09:07] jastor: midnight commander e.g. [09:07] nibbler there is only one netboot installer [09:07] Baloe4567: ah okay, sorry [09:07] Hello, I am using HTTrack, if I close its GUI, it will work in the background?? [09:08] nibbler: well i said something like midnight commander ... except htat midnight commander is not what im after since it doesnt move files [09:08] Yo [09:08] jastor: of course it moves files, thats why i recommended it. but pls mind that a real move is only possible when working on the same fs [09:08] nautilus moves [09:09] nibbler: midnight commanders idea of how to move a file is rather fcked up ... "hey lets copy the files from A to B .. and when all the files are copied, we delete them from A" [09:09] jastor: not if you are on the same fs... [09:09] nibbler: its between disks ;) [09:09] jastor: than how do you think it should be moved, if not copy+delete? [09:10] jastor: nautilus has a 'move script' [09:10] nibbler: copy file 1 from A to B, delete file 1 from a .. copy file 2 from A to B, delete file 2...... [09:10] Hmmm just tried the pxe on another pc .. it works fine there ... so it's not the installer [09:10] ???????? [09:10] jastor: that makes such a big difference..... [09:10] nibbler: instead of copy n to b .. copy next to b .. copy next to b .. when all the files are copied, dlete from a [09:10] hi all,i don't know much modem configuration after search i got running #modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x6060 it detctects as /dev/ttyUSB0 but dont know how to configure it.. [09:10] nibbler: yes it does [09:11] jastor: sounds like something you might want to put together? [09:11] jastor: i thinkg you wont find any application that does it differnt from nautilus/mc, they are all "rather *ed up" [09:12] nibbler: whatever moron thought it up like that anyway? [09:12] that instead of deleting the source file after each copy, delete them after all are copied [09:13] jastor: you have had way too much caffeine [09:13] almoxarife: nautilus .. isnt that a graphical one? [09:13] hi... i have a Q.. can someone help me? [09:13] jastor: yes [09:13] nothing wake ups you better then a smell of burning server [09:14] almoxarife: X isnt installed ;) === tushar_ is now known as tushar [09:14] r43gh4r: ask [09:15] does smbmount give password over network in plaintext? [09:15] or does it encrypt it === tushar is now known as thevishy [09:16] GOD DAMNIT [09:16] passwrd [09:16] omg [09:16] syrius: encrypt [09:16] I'm sorry [09:16] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:16] syrius: but sniff it, if you want to know.... [09:16] I'll just be going now, I thought i was in a different room. [09:16] it is encrypted [09:16] lol [09:16] hmm [09:16] well... i installed ubuntu on toshiba satellite m100 laptop.... but the problem is that when i log in... it kind of freezes [09:16] how would I sniff it? nibbler [09:17] what tools would be the job for that? [09:17] I never tried it before [09:17] like wired share or something? [09:17] wird shark* [09:17] syrius: wireshark or just ngrep [09:17] so .. anyone that knows a filemanager that moves files between disks like 99% of all the other does? (nortoncommander,norton commander 95,windows commander, total commander, etc.etc.etc.) [09:17] smbmount does plain text password [09:18] do you have link for this? almoxarife [09:18] Does Ubuntu have any issues with being installed on an SSD? [09:18] on some site it says that modern windows doesn't accept plain text [09:18] http://linux.die.net/man/8/smbmount [09:18] does anyone know if there is a media center type program that uses mplayer, or how I can force boxee or xbmc or moovida to use mplayer instead of whatever they use? [09:18] jastor: clarify what you mean [09:19] Dr_Willis_: midnight commander .. it moves files like "copy files from A to B .. when all teh files are copied, remove them from A" [09:19] duckwars: geexbox used mplayer. So i think its latest version 'enna' does also [09:19] my speakers keep popping when playing sounds, especially when sound hasn't been played in a while. Using a fresh install of 64-bit 9.10 [09:19] i am now clueless why my usb modem is not getting detected with linux [09:19] thank you [09:19] Dr_Willis_: about all other filemanagers ive used "copy file 1 from a to b, dlete file 1 from a, copy file 2 from a to b, delete file 2 from , ......." [09:19] jastor: so? that may or may not be good. :) I tend to use mc for console and 'rox' for gui. [09:20] amol112: problem exists only after return from suspend? [09:20] almoxarife, no always problem exist [09:20] it got detected by kernel as /dev/ttyUSB0 [09:21] Dr_Willis_: whatever its good or not im looking for a filemanager that does it like that [09:21] amol112: did it ever work? [09:21] but wvdialconf not detects it [09:21] almoxarife, yes [09:21] almoxarife, where does it say it sends it out in plaintext? [09:21] LED glows [09:21] all I see is this line [09:21] This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a shared file, such as /etc/fstab. Be sure to protect any credentials file properly. [09:21] I am not using /etc/fstab [09:21] to auto mount it [09:22] Dr_Willis_: i dont even see why midnight commander would go against the "file manager standards" when it comes to moving files [09:22] nibbler, how would I use ngrep? [09:22] Does Ubuntu have any issues with being installed on an SSD? [09:22] for that purpose [09:22] (filemaanger standards in this case would be what nc,nc95,windows commander, total commander etc.etc.etc. use) [09:23] I'm sorry, I still can't get Firefox to even work. I didn't quite understand what I was told to do to fix that. [09:24] jastor: its been around longer then most of the other file managers out. and it tried to clone the old 'norton commander' file manager that was out for dos AGES befor that [09:24] i am new to ubuntu,can anyone tell me how to install packages downloaded from web === sash_ is now known as sash__ === sash__ is now known as sash_ [09:24] sreeju: what packages? Its best to use teh package manager [09:24] Dr_Willis_: i just mentioned norton commander [09:25] i mean softwares [09:25] i got broken pak while try to install vlc, i update the packge list but no luck......help plzz? [09:25] sreeju: yes.. we know you mean software.. what software? [09:25] sreeju: do you mean .deb files or somthign else? [09:26] Dr_Willis_: you just lectured me up on filemanagers :D stating norton commander was the first one ... and yet missed that when i said nc didnt know that nc is norton commander? [09:26] while iam downloading anything from web they are not giving .deb file [09:26] syrius: By default, Samba uses plaintext passwords to authenticate clients who access network resources. Samba also supports the use of LanManager- and NT-encrypted password authentication.rd ????? http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2717 [09:26] sreeju: it all depends on exactly what it is.. and who is doing the packageing. [09:26] they are giving some tar.bz file etc [09:26] sreeju: thats just a generic 'archive' extension. [09:27] sreeju: so what IS it you are trying to install exactly? [09:27] i got vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.2-1ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.4-1~getdeb1 is to be installed in error [09:27] ok after extracting iam getting more files [09:27] can anyone hlp me pls [09:27] what should i do with it to install [09:27] anirban: you got the getdeb repos enabled. and they are confliucting. You may want to remove it [09:28] sreeju: we cant say.. untill you tell us EXACTLY what it is you are messign with. [09:28] hi - is the new light theme available anywhere? i would like to try the lucid look and feel without installing the whole beta [09:28] anirban: did you try to 'repair' via synaptic? [09:28] i have down loaded kmplayer from the web and i have to install it [09:28] timClicks: theres theme downloads for that - at various ubuntu news sites. OMGubuntu I think has them. as does that webup8 site [09:28] almoxarife geting same error in syna ..but in gui mode [09:29] almoxarife can grub 2 from previous install block pxe ? [09:29] Dr_Willis_: ty [09:29] Dr_Willis_: so .. you have no idea then i guess [09:29] sreeju: seeif they got debs. for starters.. and i belive that tool may be avail in some PPA repositories [09:29] almoxarife nvm it works lol [09:29] i use sudo apt-get install vlc [09:29] jastor: i cant even rember what we were talking about. Ive been helping in other channels [09:30] and im damn interested to know when i ask for something OTHER than midnight commander. . i get midnight commander as an answer? [09:30] heh ... youve smoked way too much crack [09:30] jastor: i recall some other console based file managers in the repos. but ive rarely used them [09:30] Baloe4567: I know this about grub2, it crashes on wubi installs after updates, there is a fix, I am wondering if the same problem you have is associated with it, the crashes are on wubi installs [09:31] whatever i am downloading from web is not in .deb format they are some source codes how can i install them [09:31] jastor: theres also numerous 2 pane file managers out like 'gentoo' 'filerunner' and proberly a dozen others that i cant rember [09:31] Dr_Willis i got it ...i remove vlc-nox and then try to install vlc againg ..now its woeking [09:31] sreeju: compiling from source is going tobe a rather large undertaking for a linux beginner.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:32] sreeju: you would have better luck finding a PPA repoistory for unofficial/new packages [09:32] Dr_Willis_: filerunner is for x [09:32] jastor: its an old 2 pane file manager with GUI written in TCL. :) [09:32] sorry i didn't get you [09:32] madeit very easy to 'tweak' [09:32] !ppa [09:32] sreeju: I learned how to install from source using 'check-install', much simpler and saner way to do it [09:32] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

[10:39] Ashok: for what reason exactly? [10:40] Ashok, he meant that you don't log into the graphical interface (gnome) with root. you sudo into it from a terminal [10:40] biggest danger to a ubuntu system - is often the users doing things they shouldent be doing [10:40] DaZ: y [10:40] Ashok: tell us exactly what task you are trying to preform [10:40] Ashok: because only thing you gain from it is higher probability of crashing your system. === eric is now known as Guest8617 [10:41] Dr_Willis_: ist that possible atleast i want to know im new to ubuntu thats y [10:41] Ashok: it is possible [10:41] Ashok, it was decidedly removed as an option in ubuntu. you can in, say, debian for example. but it's too risky. [10:41] Ashok, not support unsafe in the extreme [10:41] Ashok: use 'gksudo programname' [10:41] what is the key combination to hard restart from within Ubuntu?

[10:41] i have downloaded kmplayer from the web please help to install it [10:41] you can open gnome-terminal graphically and sudo from there [10:41] does that count [10:42] well... surprise surprise removing the card has got it back to a desktop again, but since i booted once without problems and only ran into issues after installing that firmware package, i wonder. i think ill remove the firmware replace the card and see what happens... [10:42] Dr_Willis_: fine what is root i am new to ubuntu [10:42] HRH_H_Crab, haha, right on [10:43] how to use xchat [10:43] you can also open a file browser as root [10:43] well, it could just be coincidence. this card has been stuck in a box for a good while maybe it only had one "good" boot in it. [10:43] root = all-powerful superuser [10:43] chuchumaolu, go to a different channel is /join #channelname [10:44] which package provides XVID MPEG 4 decoder and H.260 decoder in ubuntu?

[10:44] !root [10:44] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[10:46] sreeju: you got a lot of learning to do. and proberly 200mb+ of downloads to install befor you can compile from source [10:46] Ashok, root is an account that has full file access permissions. your user account, for example, cannot modify system components for security purposes [10:46] sreeju what's after the. in the package name? [10:46] kmplayer is just a very minimal front end to mplayer. [10:46] Dr_Willis_, I am going through finding a bunch from the net and kinda need a "usr,share" or something ,I know I can put them wherever I want but not advanced to do that w/o making system a wreck lol [10:46] Penquite, run these commands and pastebin the output: dpkg -l '*apache*'; ls -laR /etc/apache; ps aux [10:46] oh ho [10:47] nomad: when in doubt.. put stuff like thatin your users home.

[12:50] orb01: I say I dont think it will work because I already reinstalled it [12:50] In ubuntu hardy the screen stays on !!! What gives ? [12:50] and it didnt work [12:50] i guess i have to restart bash [12:51] sYskk: no, you have to log out and back in [12:51] orb01: interesting i did it and open skype as usual and then give my pass and then online and then test it again and it shut it again but in terminal its says "aborted" [12:51] jrib: I get this error, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/KG2k5hjB [12:51] Wasgood: sudo mkdir /media/windows2 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows [12:51] khalil: try making a Grub2 entry for the Windows disk yourself from Ubuntu. [12:52] Lanthes: I'll look if this a known problen. [12:52] Wasgood: actually, before you do that, what does « df -h » return? [12:52] jrib: sorry, where do I place those? [12:52] orb01: I already tried that but windows still dosen't show up when I reboot [12:52] Wasgood: it's a command, in a terminal [12:53] jrib sudo fdisk df -h? [12:53] there's no install button in any of the apps in 'ubuntu software center'.. does anyone have an idea how to make it pop up ? [12:53] khalil: If it doesn't show up in Grub after manually adding the entry, you did it incorrectly. [12:53] hi [12:53] Wasgood: no, just « df -h » [12:53] I used rcconf to disable udev and now I can't boot buntu. How can I re-enable udev via editing a config file (under /etc/rc.*?)? [12:53] Lanthes: looks like Skype is closed-source, no way to figure out what's wrong. Do you have PulseAudio installed? [12:54] danboid: just chroot and use rcconf again [12:54] orb01: Someone called Signal360 got me to pastebin the entry thing then overwrite the old one so that vista woluld show up [12:54] orb01: how can i check? [12:54] jrib: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YK8z5j5D [12:54] Lanthes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype, try this guide. [12:54] jrib: hint from the side line: don't give multiple commands to Wasgood [12:54] Wasgood: ok, continue with mount [12:54] SpiKeCy: the install button should be on the right side of the line after you select the package [12:54] i have a problem with the gedit latex plugin: it doesn't want anymore to load. until yesterday it has worked, no not anymore. hier is the ouput of gedit when I start it from the command line: [12:55] jrib: Can busybox chroot? Thats my only rescue option here (running buntu on a Zaurus) [12:55] orb01: ok let me read [12:55] <[NNUser]> Lo lads [12:55] SpiKeCy: if you don't see it then report a bug on launchpad.net [12:55] jrib: I'm currently burning the ISO [12:55] danboid: don't know [12:55] jrib: (of the windows xp disk) [12:55] Wasgood: ok [12:55] khalil: I'm sorry, I can't help you. It is never a good idea to have Grub on your external. [12:55] its not there.. ill see what i can do [12:56] Well I'm presuming that even if I can't chroot, I should be able to get udev running again by editing or linking a file somewhere under /etc, right? [12:56] jrib: I'm going to reboot, if you have anything to add, highlight wassa [12:56] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/191796/ [12:56] hi [12:56] Lanthes: wait, are you on Kubuntu or Ubuntu? [12:56] danboid: if it can't, you should be able to guess the pattern for the symlinks (S for start, K for kill and the number gives priority). Assuming it's not just an upstart script I suppose [12:57] Would anybody be able to inform me of what "hit" means when I run "sudo apt-get update"???

I think I'll just backup the files and do a reinstall for him. [13:00] <[NNUser]> any recommendations for a ubuntu flavour to run a carpc off?? smallish. [13:00] ets2006: but since these files didn't change, it doesn't download anything. perfectly fine... [13:00] joschi: oh... i see now.

I want to try my hand at turn by turn gps and all that stuff off an old laptop connected to a lilliput touch screen [13:01] orb01, it was worth a try, and at least I know how to reinstall grub if I had to : ) [13:02] jrib: The windows xp disk tha I have doesn't work [13:02] AceKing: that's always good :P.

[13:07] orb01: well, first of all when I switched to 9.10, in order to get banshee et al to recognize the ipod I had to restart nautilus [13:08] alexpotato: what iPod model is it? [13:08] would love ubuntu mobile... but as far as i can see it's not available... ;( [13:08] then in general, when syncing via amaraok, banshee, songird etc, it seems that songs sync but not playlists [13:08] rsk: oh... hang on.. i'm getting confused.. i see no hardy..

I want to ssh into it, is there anything I need to do first? [13:12] Ermm... Ubuntu Lucid already fixed the bug #459716 problem?

[13:28] I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, fresh install, right out of the cd, so if I'm not mistaken that's the 2.6.31-14 kernal, could be wrong. I've got Grub2, running a dual boot sort of system with Windows XP on sda1, and Ubuntu 9.10 on sdb1. grub2 was created by satan. [13:28] in the bottom toolbar I can see the same apps running as is on the first workspace on every single workspace, even tho they don't have any apps running [13:28] Sanus: abhi_nav do you see that behaviour too? [13:29] hal: which? [13:29] ill try netbook remix... [13:29] hal: NO [13:29] hal: No I do not, but I remember something in something's preferences, lemme look.

[13:29] hal: yes different [13:29] yes please Sanus [13:30] hmm [13:30] strange [13:30] hal: :P [13:30] Anyone able to tutor me ing Ubuntu certification? Please? [13:30] *tutoring me [13:30] the word that you're looking for is tutor [13:31] abhi_nav: any chance I can get help with this grub thing, or should I just try to sleep?

[13:32] yeah, I noticed that, but decide that correcting it would cause me to make another mistake, so I didn't bother [13:32] hello what channel do you suggest for website domain discussions? [13:33] AJHunter: dont you have any local linux class there in your city? [13:33] abhi_nav: When I reboot, I'm getting the rescue prompt, don't want the rescue prompt, how can I change it to give me a menu for just Windows XP hd0,0, and Ubuntu 9.10 hd0,0 [13:33] -?* [13:33] Not in english. [13:33] sanus [13:33] try using lilo [13:33] Local Linux Classes? [13:33] if there are any [13:33] sounds neat [13:33] what1: Yessir? [13:33] its another boot loader [13:33] what1, if you are not going to be helpful then refrain from offering advice please [13:33] that was helpful [13:33] Sanus: did you find anything relating to my problem? [13:34] what1, no it was not. he needs help with grub [13:34] hal: I have not, it must be in the compiz settings. [13:34] hal: Do you get the issue when you change desktops via an alternate method? [13:34] hal, you may also wish to ask in #compiz [13:34] ok thank you bazhang [13:34] Sanu: have you installed ubuntu or want to? [13:35] Found it [13:35] hal: Found it, I think [13:35] hal: On the far left of your window list, right click and find window list perferences [13:35] hal: See if it has "Show windows from current workspace" or "Show windows from all workspaces" checked. [13:35] Sanus: yes when I change to a new workspace, I can see the apps in the toolbar, and then they disappear [13:36] helo [13:36] they disappear? [13:36] Sanus: where is the windows list preference, please? [13:36] hi alght, what's up? [13:36] Sanus: I am sorry, I am not sure where you mean "On the far left of your window list" [13:36] hal: Far left side of the window list, before the show desktop icon on a clean install. [13:36] fine tnxs [13:36] hal: Far left side of the bottom toolbar === metehan is now known as Lanthes [13:37] Hi, Sound Juicer has recently 'just stopped' auto-ejecting CDs after it's finished extracting them - what could have caused this? [13:37] hal: Between the first area that will show a window, and the "show the desktop" icon. [13:37] The only thing i've installed since has been the compiz settings manager === Loki__ is now known as Grey_Loki [13:37] hal, this is the last solution but it is possible you will have to delete existing compiz configuration from gconf (if that is the backend used) and from flatfiles directory if needed. I had do do this once because it behavied strangly and not fixable. [13:37] Sanu: have you installed ubuntu or want to? [13:37] Hello guys i try to use skype in kubuntu but it shut it when i cal someone or test it no sound working or video working in skype its just shut it how can i fix it? [13:38] i have the same prob in skype [13:38] abhi_nav, he has it installed [13:38] abhi_nav: I've installed Ubuntu. I'm here from a liveCD. I cannot access my partitions via Grub2, because it sends me to the rescue bash. I would like it if I could find a way to generate a menu, and boot via said menu. [13:38] <_linux_student> amsn know any of you have a problem with farsight2 [13:38] hey i just installed spotify, and i closed it, but when i want to start it up again it says "spotify is already running" is there a killall command for spotify ? [13:39] Sanus: ah, I didn't know about those prefs. Thank you for explaining it. It has not resolved the issue tho unfortunatately [13:39] (This is beyond difficult. My brain hurts.) [13:39] hal: I'm sorry, try reinstalling compiz I 'spose [13:39] hal: Do they disappear after a short time? [13:39] thank you leagris. That's a good suggestion [13:39] hal: If so, that might just be lag, or the toolbars refreshing slowly. [13:40] Sanus: no, but when I select a workspace, then the everything displays correctly [13:40] Sanus: you upgraded from 9.04 or fresh install of 9.10? [13:40] hal: Oh, the toolbar stays when you go into the cube? [13:40] abhi_nav: Fresh install [13:40] Sanus: yes, but there is no reason for mine to be affected and other ppls to be ok [13:40] abhi_nav: From a mail-order CD [13:40] hal: I would think that's a useful feature! Have you checked the desktop cube preferences? [13:40] Sanus: yes, it does not change until another workspace is selected [13:41] how can i start NetworkManager (network-manager) from command line? [13:41] too5hort, you can kill anything from the terminal. usage is in "man killall" but it's basically "killall [13:41] Sanus: you first install windows and then ubuntu, werent you? [13:41] Sanus: I don't think it is useful - it defeats the purpose of the cube! ;) [13:41] Hi! How can I watch licenced DVD on linux? [13:41] abhi_nav: As per the common dual-boot setup. [13:41] abhi_nav: Er, yes. [13:41] too5hort, you can list running processes with ps. try "ps aux" [13:42] NerveClasp: there is product something like called PowerDVD in shop in ubuntu web site. [13:42] hal: Fair enough, I suppose. Check all the cube settings before reinstalling compiz though. And it might be an issue with your video card, or driver. [13:42] how can i start NetworkManager (network-manager) from command line? [13:42] NerveClasp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [13:42] Sanus: possibly - but I hope not [13:42] too5hort, you can also use "kill " with the proc id listed from ps aux [13:43] aaal3: gksudo nm-applet if it's installed [13:44] thanks Sanus; it always bothers me how the package name and command are normally different :p [13:44] aaal3: It can never be easy.

[14:27] arand, i dont see that option when i reboot and hits f8 [14:27] bazhang I've tried to read through here, but from what I've found it says nothing about just setting up a nice neat little menu for your two little oses on your two little harddrives [14:27] whoa, right, and you also installed a dual boot? or only ubuntu/wubi [14:27] Sanus, this is the first mention I have seen of two hard drives [14:27] b33tfr33kr, well we know it doesn't exist by default now, but we don't know how to make one with the proper content [14:28] Sanus: grub2 can be a bitch. ;) [14:28] bazhang: I was hear earlier, nobody else from then is on now, sorry [14:28] Sanus: do you just want to remove some entries?

Especially for aptitude things. [14:31] erUSUL, true [14:31] joschi apt-etc. things [14:31] bezhang: Yes, its released, but doesnt have a intro page like the other test releases have, like http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha2 for example [14:31] been gone for awhile -- new LTS version coming in April? [14:31] erUSUL, in windows, pressing super+D takes you to the desktop, I want to do the same thing in ubuntu [14:31] aurilliance: change that to ctrl + D in the keybindings preferences [14:31] Sanus: `grub-mkconfig` maybe? there should definately be this program on your system [14:31] only im in UNR, meaining the desktop is actually the menu [14:31] comradekingu, there is not an alpha nor beta of karmic; perhaps you mean lucid [14:31] aurilliance: so you want to map show manu or clear desktop ??????? [14:32] erUSUL, lets go with desktop [14:32] b33tfr33kr: does that mean I have to exit Xorg? [14:32] erUSUL, is there a command for that? [14:32] Sanus: when apt* fails, you may not have mounted all needed partitions, like /var for example [14:32] mrwes, yes, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:32] aurilliance: System>Preferences>keybindings [14:32] bazhang, yep -- got it. [14:32] aurilliance, is there any compiz trick to do that? [14:32] ukebane, yeah, sorry. you do. [14:33] joschi: what all do I have to mount in order to get it to work? I just mount it to mnt and chroot there === Spacewolf is now known as Camaro [14:33] right, I'll brb [14:33] bazhang: Ah, yes, but the link found was under mythbuntu, are those releases behind the normal schedule?

I don [14:34] Sanus: I think you have to mount /dev if you are trying to redo grub [14:34] comradekingu, not that far behind afaik [14:34] aurilliance: no problem [14:34] leonardo: you need to exit X first [14:34] sucsess cheers for the help! [14:34] Sanus: I don't know which layout you chose during installation [14:34] comradekingu, you may wish to check in #ubuntu-mythtv [14:34] Sanus: so that's up to you, identifying these partitions [14:34] Roland, not afaik, check out the NameBar panel app tho [14:34] joschi: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / [14:35] joschi: just the usual linux/extended/linux swap partitions [14:35] Pressing ctrl+alt+f7 to return to my x-session from tty causes my netbook to go to suspend, anyone know how to fix this? [14:35] chogydan: so confused. [14:35] Sanus: did you mount /dev? [14:35] Sanus: so, seperate partitions for /, /var, /usr, /home and /tmp? [14:36] joschi: chogydan: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / [14:36] Sanus: mount these at the respective mount points (e.g. /mnt, /mnt/var, /mnt/usr and so on) [14:36] Sanus: also mount /mnt/proc and /mnt/dev [14:36] chogydan: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt is what I did [14:36] Sanus: then chroot into /mnt [14:36] joschi: okay [14:37] stuff [14:37] Sanus: do everything that joschi is telling you [14:37] Sanus: give me all your money [14:37] scnr ;) [14:37] joschi: I'm broke anyway [14:37] joschi: Anyway, how do I mount all of those/unmount it first? [14:38] how can i prevent the updates program to keep popping up? [14:38] * mjkjr just switched from vista to ubuntu. Favorite feature so far 'Workspaces' [14:38] inti: disable it in the startup apps ? [14:38] bazhang: /lucid/beta1 works, so I reported it to the mailinglist owner [14:38] Sanus: given you booted the live cd. now open a root shell with `sudo su -` or prefix every command with `sudo` [14:38] comradekingu, nice work thanks [14:39] joschi, sudo -i is preferable [14:39] erUSUL , is not only at startup, is constant [14:39] ukebane, leonardo, kick over to ctrl+alt+f1 and login. then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure" then "sudo startx" [14:39] inti: if it is not running it will not pop up [14:39] Sanus: now run `mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt`, `mount /dev/sdbX /mnt/usr`, `mount /dev/sdY /mnt/var` (with X and Y being the respective partitions) [14:40] ok i will check that, thanx [14:40] Sanus: to mount procfs and devfs run `mount -t proc none /mnt/proc` and `mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev` [14:40] bazhang: thanks [14:40] ukebane, leonardo, kick over to ctrl+alt+f1 and login. then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure" then "sudo startx" [14:41] joschi: the only other things are sdb2 and sdb5 [14:41] Sanus: it is really important, that /mnt/var and /mnt/usr are the right partitions [14:41] Sanus: when /dev/sdb1 is your root-partition (e.g. '/'), you can peek at /mnt/etc/fstab [14:41] hello [14:41] joschi: I'm beyond confused. How do I do that? [14:41] b33tfr33kr: figured that part out ;), it created a what looks like default file in my home directory, so I can go edit it now [14:42] wait [14:42] I'm stupid [14:42] Sanus: e. g. `less /mnt/etc/fstab` when /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /mnt [14:42] Hi all, can anyone help me with a installed drivers issued on Ubuntu 9.10? [14:42] hello [14:42] ukebane, perfect. keep a backup in case you mess up. === aldo is now known as arco [14:43] hi liunx [14:43] say..., cgabriel [14:43] may be i can help you [14:43] joschi: It's still saying that there's only one installation [14:43] hi b33tfr33kr [14:43] ok im trying to installed a LifeView LR214 to used with MythTv [14:43] joschi: not installation, and not one, wait a sec, I'm not being intelligent gimme a sec [14:43] bbl [14:44] then? [14:44] joschi: Okay, /proc is the only one that shows up anywhere on this list. Which is weird. Yeah, no, nothing else is showing up. [14:45] joschi: Why shouldn't just mounting the whole big ol' partition work? Cause they don't have separate partitions, it's all in one thing. [14:45] Sanus: the fstab only contains a line with /proc? [14:45] liunx: ok im trying to installed a LifeView LR214 to used with MythTv [14:45] Sanus: if you have everything installed on one big partition, that's fine [14:45] Ctrl + Alt + F1 doesn't switch me to the command line, sure it does stop the gdm, but I'm unable to do anything. Any ideas why that might be the case? [14:46] joschi: Okay! yay! [14:46] joschi, iirc he has two hard drives, not sure if he has installed os-prober or not [14:46] Sanus: it's just about mounting your linux partitions to be able to chroot into your local system [14:46] Sanus: still not soved? so sad :-( [14:47] It does say I'm root@ubuntu~# [14:47] abhi_nav: like... 20 hours and going. Woo. [14:47] haha Sanus [14:47] Sanus: best of luck: ha haa haaa :P :D [14:47] abhi_nav: got the... one thing solved... like.... 4 hours ago. [14:47] Sanus: would have been easier to reinstall ;) [14:47] so tired. [14:47] I did [14:47] I have been reinstalling [14:47] Sanus: hmm [14:47] it just... doesn't woooooork [14:48] fr3nzy its Ctrl + Alt + F2 [14:48] Hey, osprober works. [14:48] So, why can't grub get os_prober to work? [14:48] Sanus, its fixed? [14:49] Sanus: because its grub :P [14:49] abhi_nav none of the f1 through f6 work. [14:49] fr3nzy not f1 to f6 its Ctrl + Alt + F2 in ubuntu [14:49] bazhang: god no. [14:50] where's the preferred place to set user environment vars? (EMAIL, EDITOR, etc) [14:50] fr3nzy it works for me (but not always, sometimes goes blank and then i have to restart :-( ) [14:50] grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /. [14:50] Also, Grub2 was made by the devil. [14:50] Sanus, did you install os-prober? [14:50] was already installed [14:50] abhi_nav: why wouldn't ctrl+alt+F1 work too? [14:50] As far as I know there are 6 console clients running, and yes, none of them, even the one under f2, is working. I can't get to the command line, just the blank screen and a cursor. [14:50] guntbert: dont know [14:51] Sanus, its not installed, its optional [14:51] abhi_nav: do you have an f-lock button? [14:51] abhi_nav: because here it certainly works :-) [14:51] ChogyDan: yes [14:51] bazhang: It said I already had it, after apt-getting for it [14:51] guntbert: :) [14:51] abhi_nav: have you tried fiddling with that? [14:51] abhi_nav, it certainly works, please dont misinform others [14:52] ChogyDan: yes, i said sometimes ctrl + alt + f2 works for me. and sometimes not. and when sometimes it not then it close graphical interface and in process to go to command prompt but it caant. it just hangs in between and then i have to restart [14:53] abhi_nav, then you have an issue with your system [14:54] RAWR [14:54] Hello, I am trying to boot Ubuntu 10.4 and it loads, but when it is supposed to go to the desktop it just shows some black stripes and other graphic error stuff. I am using a ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650, is this a driver error? [14:54] Cannot find a list of partitions! [14:54] Rawr.

[14:55] joschi: I think, it has Ubuntu down... but how do I get it to find it's windows body? [14:55] Hey does anyone use the Kodak ESP3250I cant find any linux reviews on it [14:55] bazhang: I do not understand what you meant [14:55] singh, the channel for lucid support is #ubuntu+1 [14:55] ok I see [14:56] joschi: do I just mount --bind /usr /mnt/usr? [14:56] alght: pavucontrol - PulseAudio Volume Control [14:56] singh, #ubuntu-offtopic is just chat if that strikes your fancy [14:56] Hi [14:56] Sanus: no === b33tfr33kr_ is now known as b33tfr33kr [14:56] joschi Okay, what do I do? [14:57] guest ? where do i look in it? [14:57] Sanus: when you have everything in one big partition, /mnt/usr already has the correct files [14:57] joschi Right, so then chroot into /mnt, right? [14:57] alght: apt-cache search [14:57] Why is it still "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /."? [14:58] Sanus: I'd run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` *inside* the chroot environment [14:58] Sanus: if this works, take a look at your grub.cfg [14:58] How can I count how many files are in a directory from the command line? [14:58] Sanus: if it looks sane, create a custom grub config snippet for your windows. e.g. like described in http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [14:59] Hi there. How can I disable default sound while starting system? [14:59] Sanus: then run the grub-mkconfig command again. it *should* work [14:59] ok is any 1 here able to talk in messenger need help with skpe audio [14:59] Sanus: if not, go to sleep and try it again tomorrow. [14:59] I recently added umask 077 my /etc/profile to prevent other users from reading my files, this works great but now everytime i add a repository the system can't read the new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [14:59] No one has any ideas why ctrl+alt+(f1 through f6) doesn't switch me properly to the command line mode? All I get is a blank screen and a blinking cursor. I can return to the desktop mode with ctrl+alt+f7 though. [14:59] woops, errored after changing xorg.conf, I accidentally put the same section in twice without closing it, lol [15:00] in #debian [15:00] mikelifeguard: ls |wc -l [15:00] Is there any easy way to fix this, without have to change the umask again?

[15:01] Guest57602: great, thanks [15:01] quit [15:02] anyone have a fix for my problem? [15:02] sound OUTPUT is internal audio analog stereo btw [15:02] Zteam: no. but setting your home directory to 0700 should be sufficient. so nobody can read or write files in it, even if they are 0777. [15:02] greetings fellow friends! [15:02] Zteam: so change your umask back to 022 ;) [15:02] mernilio, ni [15:03] brb [15:03] bazhang: ni? What the hell is _that_ suppose to meen?

Why is X so fucking slow? [15:04] trying to dual boot linux iwth mac [15:04] mernilio, that language is not acceptable here [15:04] Zteam: then your only possibility is to chmod the created files manually each time [15:04] mernilio, chill out dude.

[15:06] b33tfr33kr, the reason I asked about xorg.conf was because my login screen for gnome is 1920x1400 while my maximum resolution is 1280x800. I edited the xorg.conf but that didn't do anything. [15:06] joschi: fourtunatly I doesn't need this very badly, I was just curious if there was a way to fix this :-) [15:06] normaly i have around 2 gig.. but not now. Okay?

Healthy or Failing? [15:56] Richiie: if the light isn't green, that disk is gone [15:57] histo: yes [15:57] Question: if I install apache, it doesn't publish immediatly does it? (because I want to use it for local testing only) [15:57] swergas: make sure you have sftp at a terminal type in which sftp [15:57] richthegeek: can you show a pic? what light ? [15:57] Richiie: one moment, i'll upload one in about 2 minutes [15:58] histo: /usr/bin/sftp [15:58] Richiie: http://richthegeek.dyndns.info:62/diskutil.png [15:58] histo: it ceased to work after an update [15:58] richthegeek: okay, because i can just say that scheme is unknown and SMART is not available on /dev/sda [15:58] hi there! - assuming i install the lucid beta now - will i be able to automatically update to the IDENTICAL lucid when it is released later? [15:58] swergas: hrm.. [15:59] swergas: what version of ubuntu [15:59] mray, yes [15:59] (just by a update) [15:59] Richiie: then the disk is *definitely* broken, fragged, borked, destroyed, gone, and no longer living [15:59] Richiie, SMART is not available??? How old is the drive? [15:59] histo: jaunty [15:59] mray: yes. [15:59] dsnyders: 1 year [15:59] swergas: how are you using it in nautilus so I can test? [15:59] swergas: also I would try from the command line to make sure its not an issue with networking or something on thej remote end. [15:59] dsnyders: yeah it says SMART is not available on /dev/sda [16:00] histo: sftp://grimaud@www.dil.univ-mrs.fr/home/grimaud [16:00] bazhang, richthegeek: thanks [16:00] histo: i use it like that [16:00] Richiie, I find that very odd. [16:01] swergas: how are you going to that location in nautilus [16:01] dsnyders: well the point is its my friends computer he got himself an virus i think then i tried to install windows on it but obviously he failed and then i want to save the filesystem but i can not mount the disk [16:01] swergas: nvm i'm in lucid so nautilus is different. [16:01] dsnyders, Richiie: if SMART is not available, fdisk and parted give you errors, and you can't write to it... the disk is broken. There is no more conclusive combination of issues [16:01] or Gparted live wont do the trick neither can fdisk read from it [16:01] Richiie: it's like I was stood over a dead body holding a knife and covered in blood... There is only one possibility [16:02] and when i automatically want to install ubuntu live cd, you know autiomatically partitonate after 15 % i get error message saying input / output error read on the disk [16:02] histo: from the address bar on top of the window, or from bookmarks in the very top menu [16:02] Richiie: Sounds like you might have a bad disk [16:03] BoondoKLife: probably yeah i just want to confirm that its totally dead [16:03] histo: it tells me "Nautilus doesn't recognize sftp places" (translation may vary, i'm using it in french) [16:03] Linux Mint 8 live cd wont work, Gparted Live wont work, Gparted program wont work, disk utillity dont want to Create filesystem and Fdisk cant Read from the Disk and i cant mount it === jason_ is now known as mjkjr [16:04] Richiie: Check out his thread, has some good ideas to try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867611 [16:04] hello, I have a sata cage where I can hotplug drives, the MB supports it, do I need to do anything special, or just plug and unplug the drives? [16:04] Richiie: why are you still asking? It's as conclusive as can be.. the disk is absolutely totally utterly broken and gone [16:04] and i cant install from live CD whit automatically Partitionating, and i find that really odd i get the error message Input/output error during read on /Dev/sda [16:04] histo: ssh works from commandline i just tested [16:06] how do i make nano not replace chars but rather insert ones? [16:06] histo: my problem is maybe linked to the fact that it doesnt mount drives anymore when plugged [16:06] press insert on keyboard Milp [16:06] the keyboard of the device has no insert key :/ [16:07] Milp, no "ins" key either?

[16:12] hi [16:12] i can't find /boot/grub/menu.lst in 10.04 [16:12] denis, its using grub2, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [16:12] how is 10.04 beta going? [16:12] wonderful [16:13] ok [16:13] supposedly it released yesterday didn't it? [16:13] 18 [16:13] I know it is still beta, but is it usefull? [16:13] #ubuntu-pl [16:13] wenassssssssss [16:13] Hello everyone!!!11 Please, don't stand up!!! [16:13] qué tal está la peña? [16:13] ukebane, you can check the topic in #ubuntu+1 [16:13] CyL: yes [16:14] CyL: I am using it right now. It's lovely, bar the mountain of bugs that you have to swerve [16:14] CyL: mostly to do with using the Nouveau driver tbf [16:14] I mean, I'm going to deploy ubuntu in a few machines, and I wouldn 't like to deploy 9.10 now, and need to upgrade in less than two months... [16:15] Do you think it is safe to deplay 10.04 right now? [16:15] i am not ready to upgrade to lucid, what's in it that would be worthwhile to update karmic to? [16:15] CyL: you'll have issues across multiple machines [16:15] CyL, lucid discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 please [16:15] CyL: best to wait until release if you don't have the time/will to babysit each of them for a while [16:16] bazhang: okay... didn't know about that... [16:16] bazhang: I think we are almost done, and he is getting help here? [16:16] i am having some refresh rate problem with my screen , the max value that i have is 60hrz i have ati driver and LG24 , any idea how i can solve the problem with my refresh rate ? [16:16] richthegeek, with lucid? [16:16] CyL, Is there a specific problem with 9.10, or have you caught a bad case of update-itis? [16:17] bazhang: yes it's about Lucid, but it's basically over now and he is not struggling for help. Plus the channel is eerily quiet atm anyway. [16:17] hello..do I need to reboot for the system to reread my changes to sudoers? Can't I kill hup or restart some service [16:17] babyju: no restart/HUP is needed [16:17] babyju: just re-login the user changes apply to [16:17] richthegeek, the proper channel is #ubuntu+1 for lucid, thanks [16:17] dsnyders: no problem, it is just that I'll be deploying a new install on a few macines, and I wouldn 't like to deplay it now, and have to upgrade in those same machines in less than two months [16:18] Running WinXP in Virtualbox makes everything else really slow (naturally). Running it and then changing its nice value to 20 solves this. Currently my VBox launcher icon startsup the machine automatically but if i do gksu nice then it does VBox as admin as well and can't find the machine anymore. I think the solution is to run it normally & renice the process. Any ideas? [16:18] G_A_C: what is HUP? [16:18] bazhang: the point of getting people to move over to +1 is to stop "off-topic" becoming the norm, stop lucid questions flooding this one, and so that people who know can help best in the place they are. This is one question, it's specific and short, and there is almost no other conversation occurring. [16:19] abhi_nav: it's the "hangup" signal, which can be used to force some daemonised processes to re-read their configuration files on disk without restarting them (which could cause service disruptions) [16:19] G_A_C: how? === jason_ is now known as mjkjr [16:19] abhi_nav: "how?" as in....? [16:19] G_A_C: just can you give example? [16:20] G_A_C: how to hangup? [16:20] CyL, If everything is working fine there's no need to upgrade. You could happily run 9.10 for years. [16:20] abhi_nav: kill -HUP $PID [16:20] abhi_nav: possibly killall -HUP $NAME as well but I've never tried that [16:20] G_A_C: hmm, thank you [16:21] abhi_nav: you're welcome [16:21] G_A_C: works too [16:21] G_A_C: :-) [16:22] thanks G_A_C and llutz. I added a local group ALL=(ALL) ALL but I seem to not be getting the additional commands available to the non-root user. [16:22] kill -9 -1 works for me abhi_nav [16:22] How can I tell the non-root user got the new sudoers reference of ALL [16:23] almoxarife: it works for me too. but is it HUP as described by G_A_C? [16:23] How do I connect Ubuntu computer to Vista to transfer files? [16:23] babyju: is your line properly formatted? [16:23] bolex: and why not just nice VirtualBox ? [16:23] babyju: "%group ALL=(ALL) ALL" works for me, FYI [16:24] G_A_C, I used visudo [16:24] !samba | White [16:24] White: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:24] bolex: yes [16:24] White: you need to share a folder in both, samba takes care of the ubuntu share [16:25] White: ????? whats the difference between windows and vista then? [16:25] guntbert: Ahh! :) [16:25] i just said windows instead of vista [16:25] guntbert: Thanks! [16:25] babyju: what's the line you're having problems with? [16:25] i need to share a folder in both? install samba on vista? [16:25] hi [16:25] bolex: np -- anyone can increase the niceness of a program [16:26] White: vista must be seen by ubuntu to share, samba on ubuntu === ghost is now known as Guest79455 [16:26] %consoleadmins ALL=(ALL) ALL [16:26] i look through the network on ubuntu and it see's vista, but it says it cant retrieve a share server list, or something like that [16:27] babyju: and if you're logged in as the account you want to use, what does the output of "id" from a command line show? [16:27] greetings ! is there any specific channel for wireless related issues ? [16:27] I did useradd -u 501 -G consoledmins username [16:27] White: does vista see ubuntu? [16:27] yes [16:28] ola [16:28] try logging out and back in again and try that. it sounds like you've taken the right steps (adding the user to the right group etc) but group memberships are only applied when you first login [16:28] uid=501(aedwardsx) gid=501(aedwardsx) groups=501(aedwardsx),5000(consoleadmins) [16:28] Enter text here... [16:28] white: make one of your user folders a shared folder, say ''public'?? [16:29] yea, public downloads, to be precise...but once i hit share, and then search for shared folders and files, and vista says, None Found... [16:30] white: when did you install samba? === jason_ is now known as mjkjr [16:30] babyju: wouldn't it have been easier, just to add you users to "admin"? now you have 2 groups with identical sudo-right [16:30] umm, last night [16:30] how do i connect to the internet via terminal? i have no mouse/touchpad control [16:31] I have 2 external/USB HDDs, which, via fstab, mount when my box comes up. These live on sdb1 and sdc1. Recently, I rebooted, and they appear to have swapped, so the contents of my "parition A" and "parition B" appear to have effectivly exchanged contents. Is there any way that I can ensure that these drives appear on the same device at each boot? === antivirtel`afk is now known as antivirtel [16:31] white: I got issues here now, some one else may help you [16:31] hdpb: it depends on what type of connection you have wifi to router?

[16:49] Blackbird: ohh yah, sure!!! [16:49] Ashok: gimp [16:49] Blackbird, what did you say? [16:49] mkq [16:50] carlosgaldino: Did you just assume that meant "Bye" or do you actually know how it is?

[16:50] mkquist:what is gimp [16:51] Nijverheid: df -h [16:51] Red_HamsterX, yes it's possible because I use the wireless and the wired network at the same time and coincidence or not this problem only happens when the wireless appears offline [16:51] Blackbird, I know that because I speak portuguese. [16:51] !gimp | Ashok [16:51] Ashok: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [16:51] Blackbird, it's one slang. [16:52] G_A_C: thanks ;) [16:52] carlosgaldino, /etc/resolv.conf, which stores DNS lookup information, is probably being overwritten with bogus data whenever the Wireless connection drops and has to be re-established. Start troubleshooting by looking into that or just use one connection type at a time. [16:54] Ashok: !gimp [16:54] Red_HamsterX, http://pastie.org/878670 that's what i got and when i was using both types i had just the "lan" and the same IP added to the file [16:55] to alter pic i need to downloas gimp or what [16:55] carlosgaldino, is that server actually a DNS server?

[16:57] mkquist:ya pic manipulation [16:58] plz tel me step by step [16:58] Ashok: I highly recommend gimp [16:58] Ashok: what are you trying to do? [16:58] carlosgaldino, it will either need to be configured to point at your ISP's DNS servers or told to advertise your ISP's DNS servers as part of its DHCP process. [16:58] Ashok: gimp is like the open source photoshop... id guess [16:58] Ashok, GIMP ;-) [16:58] btw does anyone know if I can delete /var/cache/apt/archives?

It varies greatly by manufacturer and model. [17:00] either from flash website plugin or I think you can get it using apt-get install [17:00] Ashok: Digital images that are out of focus are a bit hard to do much with. If you size them down, they will look a little better but other than that, well you just need something decent to work with.

[17:13] tehbaut: [17:13] tehbaut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging [17:13] tehbaut: Where /dev/hda1 is the partition you want to back up. And where 1,0,0 is the address of your DVD burner. [17:13] Otacon22: just out of curiosity... for future reference, what if you have two cd/dvd drives? what does /dev/cdrom become then? [17:13] tehbaut: that will explain partimage. Once you create the image you can backit up on whatever you want. [17:13] I tried to establish a remote connection from machine A (Windows) to machine B (Ubuntu) via UltraVNC, but when I connect and move the mouse around and do stuff, although it is happening on machine B, I never see it on the screen of machine A, just the initial screenshot I get right after connecting.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [17:45] xiven: thunderbird should be able to do that [17:45] xiven, you can just copy it over into the profile folder [17:46] Welll, I've been trying..but every time I set the moved profile folder as default in profiles.ini, it says thunderbird is already running. [17:46] IdleOne, it then says dependencies not met, needs flashplugin-installer and exits [17:46] what would cause a DD-copied partition to fail to boot on the destination disk?

Collect them @ http://imagebin.ca/view/usNIR8-3.html :) [17:47] as i said, its an infitinite loop I'm stuck in :d [17:47] oops [17:47] tehbaut, a different UUID, which would prevent the partition from being found by some boot-time tests and scripts. You may need to hack Grub's config files and fstab. [17:48] hi. is there a panel applet or something that will tell me if capslock is on or not? This keyboard lacks an indicator [17:48] StevenR, there is, and it should be installed by default. [17:48] ubutom: hmmm, seems you broke the internets is what I meant to say [17:48] shamun, did you just ask what software does Microsoft MSN put out for linux? or did i read that wrong? [17:48] xiven, did that a while back, I just copied the profile to linux [17:48] Red_HamsterX: great... hack jobs, lovely [17:48] Hmm' [17:48] is there a good utility that would let me find out which process is using the network? (and how much its using?) [17:48] Did you change the setting in profiles.ini as well? [17:48] xiven, you have to make sure to make the files writable [17:49] Hmm [17:49] tehbaut, it's not really a hack-job. You've just circumvented the auto-detect/setup process that avoids the need to edit these files manually. [17:49] What about that paths being Windows paths?? [17:49] is it true that ubuntu has a lot of improvements for devices based on the arm architecture? [17:49] chmod -r 666 or something like that [17:49] Red_HamsterX: what the applet called please? I've not been able to find it [17:49] you just have to put the profile into the pforile folder in linux [17:49] Ahhh [17:49] ubutom chmod + or - r filename [17:49] , so .tbhunderbird/profiles [17:49] !who | ubutom [17:49] ubutom: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[17:51] xiven, or maybe 777 ;) [17:51] shamun, well I think Empathy does that, but im not too sure really, as I dont use those kinds of chat, IRC is really the only way to fly if you ask me :) [17:51] Yeah, I already used 777 === david_ is now known as megamaced [17:51] StevenR, actually, it seems I misspoke... It was there in 9.04, but seems to be missing in 9.10.

[17:52] xiven, only thing i did was change the profile.ini file with the profile name [17:52] Flash on linux sucks so bad... [17:52] StevenR, sudo aptitude install lock-keys-applet [17:53] is there a top for networking? [17:54] hi, anyway to test web application on IE without WINE?

[17:54] my keyboard is not writing more than one letter at a time, what happened? keys repetition's enabled... two minutes ago it was working [17:54] xiven, best way to do that is to start thunderbird once without configuration and then copy the profile in .thunderbird/ in your home directory [17:54] xiven, yep, should work [17:54] so i use the minimal iso to install, but i want the server kernel without downloading the bloated server iso. is it just a matter of replacing the default kernel with the server one? [17:55] Okay, I did start thunderbird making no mods. I then copied the contents of the windows profile folder into the linux profile folder. Now thunderbird crashes before it loads at all. [17:55] ubutom: how to import contact / address book from yahoo mail to thunderbird? [17:56] Red_HamsterX: ok... thanks.. it's installed.. is there a way to restart the panel to make it show it, or do I need to logout/in ?

[17:58] xiven, there should be a preofile.ini or something like that that needs to be adjusted according to the profile name [17:59] profile [17:59] Red_HamsterX: it's ok. google says I can just kill the process. Thanks for the help with the package name :) [17:59] Is the profile name the random characters preceding .default, or is it something else?

[18:50] G-Farkas: have you check alsamixer? [18:50] Lancelot, for compiz? [18:50] !sound | g-farkas [18:50] g-farkas: 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 [18:50] Muncky: ask away [18:50] Lancelot, window management category...place windows plugin...multi output mode [18:50] CalmvsKhaos: maybe, I use the network manager icon [18:50] IdleOne, can I pM you [18:50] so to make a swap file "dd (or dcfldd) if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/desired/swap/file bs=1024(1meg) count=(number of megs)" and just adjust parameters as needed [18:50] or open backports [18:50] Muncky: better to ask in here so others may help also [18:50] Muncky: ask here if possible [18:50] anto9us, ok thanks! [18:50] medianmajik, Alsamixer doent work! [18:50] their was a package in the repos on linux administration which,if my memory is anything to go bt, it contained some info on swapping and so forth, does anyone remember its name? [18:51] the window rules plugin? [18:51] Emanon: I found a good explanation here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ [18:51] I don't have a plain windows plugin [18:51] Muncky: asking in here also assures you get accurate answers [18:51] G-Farkas: are you getting an error when you try it in the terminal? [18:51] Lancelot, no the Place windows plugin [18:51] ok [18:51] <[Screamo]> Hey, im trying to use Kopete for webcam chat, but im getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/398429/ [18:51] oh [18:51] ok [18:51] Emanon: "swappiness" hehe [18:51] greezmunkey: look up i posted that earlier hehe [18:51] I see it [18:51] . [18:51] medianmajik, I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [18:51] Emanon: thanks! === andrea is now known as Guest42995 [18:52] greezmunkey: swappiness is how likely it is to be swapped not which swap it prefers [18:52] Lancelot, then choose the "output device with pointer" [18:52] whats the easiest way to restart x? [18:52] !nic [18:52] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [18:52] Emanon: got it :) [18:52] so how is that different from the default setting?

[18:52] but you could make a swap file then remove swap partition from fstab swapoff it and that should force it to use the only one left [18:52] i'm having more trouble than expected setting up wireless in ubuntu 9.10 on a dell inspiron 1525 [18:52] Lancelot, well the windows will open according to where your mouse pointer is located between the screens ...i am hoping anyway [18:53] guess thats how Ill do it [18:53] ok [18:53] Emanon: funny running into you here. [18:53] I recall you can have several swap files and partions and set their priorties so you can set what one gets used first [18:53] [Screamo]: did you visit the link in the output? [18:53] jaycount: you can restart the login window, along with x, with sudo service gdm restart [18:53] I just installed a ubuntu server, together with a ubuntu 9.10 client pc. I'm trying to connect with my client to the server, but I don't have any clue how. I would first of all like to use NFS and just installed this on the ubuntu server. [18:53] G-Farkas: google alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [18:53] Lancelot, it is real helpful to type the first 2 or 3 letters of a nickname hit tab to complete then type your message...this way the person yoou are talking to can be alerted :) [18:53] u hang out in #rantradio or something mawst?

Does the cam work in cheese? [18:54] <[Screamo]> i dont have a webcam [18:54] <[Screamo]> but my sister does [18:54] Lancelot, are you setting this in nvidia settings? [18:54] My main question is, how can my client connect to the server? do I have to make a new username on the server, and connect with this u/p? [18:54] <[Screamo]> jus trying to do a 1 sided thing [18:54] Lancelot, give me 5 I have a nature call to attend to :) [18:54] ok [18:54] * freezeloud_ away [18:54] [Screamo] I see, websearch how to get the jasper thing, you'll find guides [18:54] !ssh | Muncky [18:54] Muncky: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

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 :) [18:55] ok, so I have to make use of the SSH protocol?

[18:56] [Screamo]: try sudo apt-get install libjasper-runtime; [18:56] Muncky: read the link ubottu gave you and it will explain more howto and what you need to install [18:56] ActionParsnip i googled it, but didnt find anything usefull [18:56] Lonnie_: it will be in the conf file of the ftp server you use. [18:56] ok thanx I'll do that [18:56] Muncky: welcome and if you have any questions just ask in here :) [18:56] Screamo_smurf: try trism's suggeestion [18:56] 1st day of Spring!

I cant find the answer [18:57] ActionParsnip: I'm just got a default install of ubuntu server with ssh setup. Users are able to sftp, and I'm not sure what the server is. [18:57] medianmajik, I never had this problem before [18:57] Abbey: run: sudo lshw -C netowk ,you will see your devices. Websearch for the product line for the wifi device [18:57] ok, thanx once again, I'm afraid this will be my new home !

Now I know that: (traslation of the message) "Didnt find sound cards" when "aplay -l" [18:58] Lancelot, on my setup I use dynamic-twinview which is setting up of dual monitors manually..I dont have much experience with separate xscreens because i dont like that but [18:58] Muncky: you may also want to /msg ubottu guidelines and read that :) [18:59] Lonnie_: if you want sftp then ssh can do that, not sure how to stop them writing to none home short of standard user access being ok. Users will only have write access to $HOME [18:59] Lancelot, if you open nvidia-settings with sudo from a terminal you can most likely set this up easily that way unless your separate xscreens are already set up [18:59] ActionParsnip, is "BCM4312" the kind of thing i'm looking for? [18:59] G-Farkas: http://weblog.tinixtech.com.ar/?p=163 [18:59] Abbey: try: lspci;lsusb ,one line will identify the device [18:59] coz_, I'll get that open now [19:00] !broadcom | abbey [19:00] abbey: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [19:00] Lancelot, as I said I have not done it this way but via terminal type sudo nvidia-settings [19:00] Doesnt ubuntu find the driver on its own?

Thus far, I've been able to successfully connect to the VPN, I managed to allow myself to connect [19:03] other hosts within the REMOTE lan, but I can't manage to setup the appropriate ip-up.d and ip-down.d scripts such that ALL traffic to and from the local virtual machine gets routed through the VPN. My Mac and Windows machines within my local LAN connect to the VPN and can access the external internet just fine. Can anyone help me?

I am having issues with my crontab. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/z6dGaJay Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

I have a problem with nautilus. If I select the option personal folder from places, there is message that isn't any application asociated with that [19:29] how can I fix it? [19:29] uzi_: ubuntu-desktop is not your desktop, it's a metapackage [19:30] uzi_: it just installs everything required, removing it will not remove your desktop [19:30] setuid: Do you have a liveCD or an install CD?

[19:32] uzi_: I'm off to work now, sorry :) [19:32] !alien | uzi_ [19:32] uzi_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [19:32] Problem here with a Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705.

Not running? running with error? [19:34] Yeah.. ok [19:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/398447/ [19:34] not running [19:34] helpe meeeeeeee [19:35] PCLoadLetter: how did you create this file? crontab -e? [19:35] yep [19:35] description of problem and my ntp.conf [19:35] Vigo: whats equivalent to rpm's --ignore-deps in apt? [19:35] how can i remove broken package by terminal ? [19:35] saved to a /tmp/ directory.. not sure if that has anything to do with it, but once i saved and quit, it told me the new crontab was configured [19:36] PCLoadLetter: Are you sure 'cron' is running? What does ps -AF|grep -i cron return? [19:36] uzi_: I would have to look that up in the Manual, one moment please. [19:36] Which arch would i use if i wanted to use debootstrap to make a minimal ubuntu for an arm-eabi architecture? [19:36] Vigo: thank you, I shall try --ignore-depends in dpkg [19:36] PCLoadLetter: Did you keep an eye on /var/log/syslog? Is there any record of cron trying to invoke it? [19:37] PCLoadLetter: wtf does that mean?! [19:37] uzi_: Here is a Manpage on that. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/apt-get.8.html [19:37] PCLoadLetter: What user is this running as? Is there anything in that user's mail file at /var/log/spool/mail? [19:38] Vigo: i've read that manual, sadly didn't find anything useful :( [19:38] I pasted the output of that command at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Jp2yj7MH pedahzur. thanks for helping btw :) and i will check the syslog now [19:38] hey guys I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and went to edit the grub config file, but it wasn't at /boot/grub/menu.lst the file doesn't excist.. did they change the config file name? [19:38] hexdump_, PCLoadLetter: yes, crontab -e copies the file to a tmp location where you edit it, then when you exit your editor, it checks the syntax and installs it if it's OK. [19:38] nothing in the users mail file that im aware of [19:39] no mail set up or anything to do with mail on that machine [19:39] uzi_: You know the Golden Rule, RTM, or something, did you see the Options part? [19:39] ahh ok, that's what i figured but i thought i'd mention that [19:39] lol pedahzur: j/k office space [19:39] like i said, im new :) [19:39] PCLoadLetter: You do realize that your cron is configured to run the command at 2:19PM local time, right? [19:39] yeah.. i kept changing the time to test it [19:40] but the export never took [19:40] PCLoadLetter: tip: put my name at the beginning of your replies. That way, my client dings (and highlights the reply in red) so it's easier for me to find your responses. [19:41] pedahzur: sorry about that. its been awhile since i've looked at irc or ubuntu.. lol [19:41] Vigo: thank you. dpkg --purge worked, not apt-get purge [19:41] pedahzur: i uploaded the grep output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Jp2yj7MH [19:41] it's apt-get --purge remove [19:41] uzi_: You are very welcome. [19:42] PCLoadLetter: I would recommend installing something like Postfix (in local-only mode if you don't need to use it to send mail off-system) so there is something cron can use to mail the output of the command. [19:42] PCLoadLetter: Yeah, saw the ps -AF output. So cron is running. [19:42] omg, update-grub is amazing. [19:42] help need on aptana, permission denied, any help? [19:43] wow [19:43] pedahzur: i will check the syslog right now and look into postfix. from what you've seen though, is anything out of the ordinary? [19:44] rabbit1: Are you su? [19:44] su?

[19:45] Vigo: its my home PC [19:45] !su | rabbit1 [19:45] rabbit1: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:45] Vigo: i also tried sudo on it but, same problem [19:45] pedahzur: yes.. the syslog is definitely being invoked [19:46] rabbit1: still looking, I am not really familiar with that pkg. [19:46] PCLoadLetter: The command looks ok in the crontab. I would suspect some error output is being generated and not e-mailed since there is no e-mail system installed. [19:46] Vigo: followed all the instructions provided here: http://maketecheasier.com/install-aptana-studio-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2009/03/23 [19:46] What would be the best VNC Server for Ubuntu that also works when Compiz is enabled?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:47] you can see my numerous failed attempts moving into a cleaner command [19:48] Vigo: you there? [19:48] callaghan, tried ssh X forwarding? or do you need to control a whole desktop [19:48] soreau: What would be a VNC Server - no matter which one - for Ubuntu that also works when Compiz is enabled? That's what I meant ;) [19:48] PCLoadLetter: /home/adempiere/Adempiere/utils/RUN_DBExport.sh I assume the path is correct? [19:48] duffydack: I need to control the whole desktop.

I think there's only one vnc [19:50] hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me create an alias [19:50] zongo_: What kind of alias? Mail?

This is a meh i tell you, virtual machines are SLOW [20:10] pedahzur: I would like to see the communcation or the protocol in particular piped through xxd [20:10] theadmin: and what precisely is your point - when talking about testing a beta OS? [20:10] barf: not familiar with xxd [20:10] barf, I suggest u use wireshark [20:10] xxd: Wireshard might do the trick [20:11] On the command line? [20:11] hi, is there I command so I can update to the beta 10.04 from terminal via ssh? [20:11] Say, is it safe to install {X | K | \ }ubuntu-desktop packages on andLinux? Know it's kinda offtopic, but... [20:11] There used to be tethereal [20:11] barf, both cmdline or a gui optionallt [20:11] There is also a GUI for Wireshark. [20:11] Vigo, never used k3b, its the soundconverter package [20:11] barf, ethereal++ = wireshark [20:11] ok [20:11] unetbootin sound pretty much like exactly what i looked for, thx :) [20:12] neodemi: Right, I was just asking what pkg you are using to record the sample with. [20:12] theadmin: ty :) [20:13] Nikolai_D: Seriously, though, is looking at their site that much of a trouble? [20:13] maybe u can help me with onemorething, i try to install Ultamatix, but it gives me an python2.5 problem, any suggestions? [20:13] !audio [20:13] 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).

Like from 3Mbps to 1Mbps. IS there a way to fix this or will I need to use ndiswrapper. If so, how do I use that? [20:14] guntbert: ty [20:14] Nikolai_D: I think the problem is Ubuntu uses python2 which is not very compatible with python2.5, so you'll need to install it manually, no idea how [20:14] i did, still the same [20:15] and when ubuntu updated i noticed there python6 something [20:15] neodemi: Have you saved to disk then used a sound editor, like ubottu just mentioned? [20:15] Nikolai_D: Hm, o_O [20:15] how can i go about installing ubuntu on a headless machine? [20:15] i installed imagemagick, ubuntu 9.10 and cant find command from terminal [20:15] Damn, i just typed that last message in a terminal, good thing i didn't hit enter [20:16] lets see whats in Ubuntu+1 :) [20:16] Hi all [20:16] theadmin: Very good thing, I did that once, once. [20:17] Vigo: Was the message "rm -rf"? :D [20:17] theadmin: As a matter of fact, it was worse. [20:17] How to change locale from a terminal? I did "locale-gen ru", what next? [20:18] Vigo: What can be worse then this? Except that i missed a / above [20:18] i have build the kernel and all .o and .ko created, now i modified a source file in the kernel code and i wish to recompile, how do i do it so it will know i change one of the source file and recompile with the changes? [20:18] theadmin: type 'locale' it should be set to "UTF-8.ru_RU" or sth like that [20:18] theadmin: Now you have it, that slash makes ALL the difference. [20:19] but pretty useless with not being root, or? [20:19] theadmin: **"ru_RU.UTF-8 [20:20] Vigo, i dont get what you mean, i have the mp3s sitting on my hd, when run through soundconverter, they are resampled to a lower rate, and upon playing in audacious/mplayer/totem they have a different length === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [20:20] Does Ubuntu come with Mailman preinstalled?

And i belive i add it to ~/.bashrc for it to be permanent? [20:22] I did a locate mailman and it returned a bunch of files [20:22] theadmin yes [20:22] what ? [20:23] hola soy nuevo aqui [20:23] phpechowiec: Or maybe a better idea would be ~/.profile?

[20:26] hi im new [20:26] xiven: i first build it to see if can build the kernel and it worked and i even booted from it, now i am back to the original kernel, deleted the one i build and now i wish to build a new one with a small source code change...

[20:29] You may need to run make clean first [20:29] Pantcho: copy your .config and then type make clean or make mrporper I don't remember which is correct. Then copy back your .config and type make [20:30] this should build your kernel from scratch [20:30] Yeah, I did a ps aux and mailman is running [20:30] phpechowiec: but i don't want from scratch on a simple 1 source code line.. thats the idea [20:31] Pantcho: did you try to remove .o file and bzImage?

It would male life much easier. :-) [22:11] sbahra: any reason for using img instead of iso? [22:11] hehe [22:11] Slart, different uses. img is much more convenient when using USB flash media. [22:11] sbahra: I think you can just rename the iso file as iso is a subset of img.. I think [22:12] noise: for .swf i think you actually need flash. for .flv (just a regular movie file) you can convert to it [22:12] sbahra we were waiting for you to make one off the iso :P [22:12] i had the same sound prob on my hp laptop [22:12] Slart: no - different formats [22:12] ok [22:12] thanks [22:12] my gateway fx is fine [22:12] Gorgula: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2147/1744520919_830fef1494_o.png on the bottom is running wbar, I whought you want sth like this [22:12] noise: an .flv clip you mean? or need to make a .swf? [22:12] i am creating a website [22:12] guntbert: sure? last time I checked img was just a copy of the contents.. [22:12] and i want to put a flash movie [22:12] if i do a startx from a default openssh configuration, will i be able to see the x session over ssh, or do i need to do additional config stuff? [22:13] sbahra: but there is usb creator in system/administration [22:13] noise: like the ones in youtube? [22:13] Hi, I am on 10.04 and can not get sound to work in flash in any browser, any suggestions? [22:13] kanduru: you have canon? [22:13] no [22:13] no [22:13] noise: I just looked it up: SWF is a file produce by Macromedia Flash. The Flash software is the only way to make .swf files. [22:13] phpechowiec: yes [22:13] phpechowiec: what "sth" is?

The only thing screenlets left is the .gz archives. However, when I try to reinstall I get "screenlets is already the newest version. [22:14] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 88 not upgraded.". Any ideas why? [22:14] noise: soooo.. you don't want to make a .swf or flv? [22:14] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my computer. i tried to install the tv, but it doesn't work. i tried Mythtv, but no success, i tried different tv sofware, nothing work. [22:14] mortici, you can install either one and get GNOME or KDE later [22:14] Gorgula something [22:14] randomman, i guess your right [22:15] never mind [22:15] lol [22:15] mortici: personally, i prefer the default gnome [22:15] i think i just might install KDE on my current system, and give it a test drive, i just hate cleaning up (removing gnome/kde after i make the choice) [22:15] guntbert: as I understand things an img file is just a raw copy of something.. so if you make a raw copy of a cd you'll get a file that is both an iso and a img [22:15] mortici: why the confusion? hehe, either will do IMO, I use kubuntu myself... then again. I've used kde since way back even before ubuntu, soooo, I use many kde apps though :) [22:15] kanduru: http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Canon maybe this can help [22:15] Hi, I am on 10.04 and can not get sound to work in flash in any browser, any suggestions? [22:16] mortici, i know what you mean. virtualbox is your friend. I'm actually running ubuntu on it right now :) [22:16] guntbert: it's also possible that .img might mean different things to different people.. kind of like .bin or .dat [22:16] mortici: and there are tools to create a .vdi image of your current machine to use in virtualbox [22:16] hunt: reinstall flash?

I'd think gnome has a Services section in the control panel, there's an app you can use as well for that, -> sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf; [22:27] trism: :) [22:27] someone tell me what "sudo" does i keep seeing it [22:27] extor: is a console UI app [22:27] Typh_, I dont have sudo access on the box right now...just uhmm console access [22:27] sudo executes a command with root priveliges [22:27] Hi, is there anyone who could possibly help me troubleshoot my 9.10 installation? [22:27] randomman, Maybe I can install from source? [22:27] bigtom, i have a compac laptop... [22:28] I dont have any sysv* binaries [22:28] sudo gives your computer super powers [22:28] !ask | philipro [22:28] philipro: 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. :-) [22:28] This /etc/rc.local is a sort of linux version of autoexec.bat right? [22:28] i delted my top bar how do i restore it [22:28] Lostinspace_46, not sure [22:28] extor: it can be used as such, yes [22:28] jub369, right click on the bottom bar and add new panel [22:28] i meant to be defult [22:29] extor: remember to put &s on the ends of commands so the system wil still run while the app runs in the background [22:29] Out-Cold: badass :-) [22:29] bigtom21485 root execution by proxy [22:29] so i get everything like i just installed ubuntu [22:29] randomman, Well, worth a try. I'll let you know how it goes. [22:29] !fixpanel | jub369 [22:29] Okay, i guess im not supposed to ask to ask a question. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on an older PC in my home. It has a Pentium D 2.4Ghz and 512mb of RAM. I've tried installing using a CD and a flash drive and have had errors with both. This is my first ubuntu install. [22:29] kde install has begun :D can't wait for 10.04 official :) Gonna convert to 64bit finally :) [22:29] !panelfix [22:29] jub369, i think there is a file that is used to create new user settings, you could possibly reload that? [22:29] Can anyone help me with that? [22:30] philipro: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? [22:30] !panelfix [22:30] ActionParsnip, damn...I need & at the end of commands in that file??? It's not a scriptfile??? [22:30] !fixpanel === jason is now known as mjkjr [22:30] extor: it is pretty much a script file but without the whole system will sit until the command finishes [22:30] I did not. I figured it would have worked with a flash drive if it'd been an ISO burning error right? [22:30] philipro: errors with the cd and usb installation process, or errors on the cd and usb media? what type of errors and at what stage? [22:31] Aciid, but bash scripts dont need ; or & at the end of lines I thought? [22:31] #!/bin/bash [22:31] # [22:31] # rc.local [22:31] It looks like a regular bash script [22:31] jub369: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [22:32] extor: sure but as I said, if yu dont background a command the system will wait until it completes [22:32] On the CD install, I choose either option, install ubuntu or the "try ubuntu option". neither one works. it appears to be loading off the cd for a while, then I get several error lines beginning with 182.976. they say things like "forget_original_parent +0x32/0x230" and "exit_notify+0x11/0x180" [22:32] philipro: did you test the ISO? [22:32] apparently theres a new lambo named the "reventon" [22:32] Oh damnnnn yes [22:32] how can I changed the permissions of a specific directory to make it writable? [22:32] niedalry, chmod +w directoryname [22:32] niedalry: chmod +w directory [22:32] On the flash drive install, I try simply copying the files to my flash drive and it does not work, it says I must restart the system. If I use unetbootin or something like that, it doesnt work either. [22:32] thanks :) [22:32] By testing the ISO do you mean verifying its contents? [22:32] Help, Ubuntu 9.10 fresh install, dual booting with windows, partitions are hd0,1 windows hd1,1 linux hd1,2 hd1,5 (Neither of these are boot) Grub was an issue, now have that working, only attempting to boot into ubuntu, I get an error reading (Device (my device's long uuid) does not exist) When it clearly does, and not only is it in my box, I can mount it from the livecd. [22:33] philipro: last time, did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded??? [22:33] no, I didnt MD5 test it. [22:33] philipro: no, i mean using MD5 to test if the file is good [22:33] I've been awake working on it for over 27 hours. [22:33] ty [22:33] philipro: then how do you know the data wasn't full of errors or incomplete?? [22:33] I don't, but I also don't know how to do an MD5 [22:33] 27 hours. I just want to sleep. [22:33] phpechowiec: i got the script from the forum, but the explanation was in a language that i do not understand [22:33] Sanus: I would mount it from the live cd, then copy all your important stuff to cd's or an external hard drive then install ubuntu and just get a windows emulator [22:34] !md5 | philipro [22:34] philipro: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:34] philipro: retry from the live-cd, before pressing Enter to start loading, check off a few extra booting options, found by pressing F6, at least try checking the acpi=off and noapic options there, see if checking others may help [22:34] bigtom21485: very slow computer, and the dual booting isn't the issue, I believe. I just need to find a way for that search command to recognize my hard drive [22:34] Typos_King: i'd get the image checked first or any attempt will be in vain [22:34] I'll try both of these things. Thank you guys. [22:35] bigtom21485 I don't believe there's anything wrong with the hard-drive, nor the ubuntu installation. [22:35] ActionParsnip I'm guessing it may not be that, but yea [22:35] err I'm getting "Operation not permitted" when I try to chmod it [22:36] niedalry: because its not owned by you, you will need sudo in that case [22:36] sudo chmod [22:36] I just installed lamp on my server...I'm not sure if that is the problem, but now when I log in with the monitor, I just see the background and my mouse pointer. I don't see the gnome desktop or anything. [22:36] niedalry: 'ls -l /path/to/file' that will show you who the current owner:group is. [22:37] hey, I've just installed fresh 10.04 b1 and I wonder why the fonts in firefox look different than in other applications? [22:37] they're uglier [22:37] ok it worked with sudo, thanks [22:37] niedalry: if you mark smoething as writable your username may not get write access due to ownerships of the owner and group ownerships [22:37] how do i compile a specific directory in a kernel? for example i did make on all kernel sources and i got a .o files on each .c file and now i deleted a .o file and updated a .c file and i wish to recompile it alone not the whole build again.. ?

[22:39] I have no idea if installing lamp is what killed my gnome or not though. I haven't used the monitor on it in a long time...it has been all ssh access for the past 3 months or so.

[22:40] what happends to +1 channel in april? :P [22:40] Neezer: ps ax | grep gdm to see if it's running [22:40] how to make active USB stick for boot? [22:40] julianoliver: it basicly looks like a Mac [22:40] I Just checked the MD5 of the original ISO that I downloaded, and the characters do not match what the MD5 should be for my respective ISO. This means there was a corruption in the ISO when I downloaded it? [22:40] I know Ubuntu isn't Xubuntu, but they're not answering, so can I ask in here? [22:40] q_: unetbootin or boot to liveCD and use the usb boot creator [22:40] It's regarding blurry Firefox scrolling.. [22:41] IdleOne: Thanks for the "identify" info, I was able to get my mySQL problem fixed! [22:41] randomman, Strangest thing. The ONLY screenlets files left on my HDD were the .gz archive files, but Synaptic showed screenlets still installed. I uninstalled using Synaptic and...bingo, problem solved. [22:41] q_ system-administration and a cd with the is0 [22:41] xiven: i'd ask in the firefox channel, its more specific [22:41] hello [22:41] Oh, that's a great idea. Thanks! [22:41] DIL, can you be more specific? [22:41] red: right. well, in the absense of a broader vision for the UI, it could be worse. [22:42] how can i use text mode to install mint? [22:42] woot almost done downloading KDE4.4.1 :D [22:42] ubuttu: i have now checked that out, but i guess maybe im to stupid ;) i dont get it...

[22:42] hi! i saw that lucid went beta today. i went to download it, and its a 4gig dvd iso. Does it really require all 4 gigs? does anyone know where i can find a smaller image? [22:43] If the MD5 checksum of the ISO I downloaded does not match the MD5 of what it should be on the Ubuntu website, does this mean my download was somehow corrupted? [22:43] underdev, you downloaded the alternate cd, download the regular one, it should be no more than 700mbg [22:43] !lucid | underdev [22:43] err 700mb [22:43] underdev: 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 [22:43] underdev: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [22:43] thank you! [22:43] q_ use ubuntu to crate a bootable usb, go to System the Administration then see usb startup creator you need with the is0 [22:44] julianoliver, sorry about th delay, I did the command, how do I tell if it is running? [22:44] Neezer: if you see 'gdm' in the output, the Gnome Display Manager is running. [22:44] And done downloading, gotta love 1.4MB download speeds :D [22:44] philipro: then the file you downloaded has been corrupted in transit, if you use torrents then the torrent protocol will add extra checking to the data. ALWAYS MD5 test ISO files you download [22:44] I see quite a few entries....I'm using ssh to log in now though, cause I can't bring up a terminal? [22:44] i now tried what u suggest but i think this not for me... i never programmed in my life... [22:45] Typos_King: MD5 fail for philipro ;) [22:45] hi I am trying to install 9.10 beta 1 I am able to boot to the disk but everytime I select install ubuntu if loads the live cd not the installer [22:45] I downloaded it via http from the Ubuntu server. I'll redownload it, and hope that it does not corrupt again. Thats all I can do right? [22:45] Mark___: there is no 9.10 beta [22:45] Mark___: 9.10 is released [22:45] Mark___: go to #ubuntu+1 for 10.04 [22:45] Neezer: odd. i haven't installed the LAMP stack as such on Ubuntu, only on Debian. i have played with Ubuntu Server Edition however, with no such problems. [22:45] philipro: as mentioned, you can download from torrent instead. [22:45] yes there is [22:46] Mark___: got a link [22:46] oh oh [22:46] ActionParsnip hehe [22:46] Hello [22:46] ubottu: i dont understand the links u sent before regarding sound problem [22:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:46] julianoliver, when i loggedin the first time a window popped up for upgrades, so I installed them. there weren't any bars at the tops of the windows though....then I rebooted from my laptop. so nobody is logged in on the server accept for me through ssh. [22:46] Ohh that's what I mean [22:46] 104 [22:46] I just installed ubuntu in a new macbook and cant get the sound to work [22:46] Mark___: like i said, there is no 9.10 beta [22:46] folks, HP laptop tx2000 with Broadcom BCM4322 wireless card; doesn't work with bc34 driver, with Broadcom STA driver (wl.ko) it can't see past channel 11. with ndiswrapper XP driver, it also can't see past channel 11. [22:46] Mark___: #ubuntu+1 for lucid chat [22:46] Digit0: i have same problem [22:46] when running Windows (vista) it sees channel 13 fine - help? [22:47] i meant 10.4 [22:47] but im at pc === Losha` is now known as losher [22:47] Mark___: i know, i was just checking, lucid is not discussed at all here, #ubuntu+1 is for you [22:47] Neezer: in the console type 'pstree' and tell me what follows along the branch beginning with "login" in the output. [22:47] digitalfiz: gives me lots of errors [22:47] sound wont work on my compac laptop... ;( [22:48] After I download the file and make sure it is MD5 verified, should I also verify the MD5 of the actual burned disc? Is this possible? Would I have less of a chance of having MD5 problems if I were to copy the ISO files to a flash drive and install that way instead of doing a CD boot? [22:48] t3218980: have you checked the volume levels? [22:48] how do i change the media player ubuntu 9.100 amd64? [22:48] how do i change the media player ubuntu 9.10 amd64? [22:48] Neezer: if there is no "login", look for "Xorg" directly. [22:48] julianoliver, I actually just tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop....it did install and didn't tell me that it was already there. I did a reboot just in case...then I'll try [22:48] Neezer: ok [22:48] phibxr... i checked nornal sound settings and ok [22:48] philipro: the live-cd itself has a 'cd integrity test' option :| [22:49] julianoliver, there is a login screen. it comes up with a list of the users and then other.... [22:49] soooooo, that'd do it I'd think [22:49] oh, got it! thanks [22:49] [sorry im a huge noob at this] === jason is now known as mjkjr [22:49] t3218980: just checking. i remember installing ubuntu on my netbook and thought the sound was broken until i actually ran 'alsamixer' in a terminal and saw that several channels were muted even if the volume was turned up in the gui-mixer. :) [22:49] julianoliver, thanks for the assistance btw. I really appreciate it. [22:50] dixond, you are outside the US? [22:50] greezmunkey: NZ [22:50] Neezer: no probs at all. === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [22:50] dixond: kia ora ;) [22:50] how do i compile a .o file i deleted from the kernel source and now i wish to recompile it with changes? i tried "make file.o" but gives me lots of errors and not compiling i guess due to includes not presented.. [22:50] dixond, there is a setting for that, I'll have to look. [22:50] Arthur___: first install a different media player then go to System > Preferences > Preferred Applications then the Multimedia tab [22:50] phibxr... they all seem ok [22:50] actually, I lied, iwconfig allows me to set it to channel 13 with ndiswrapper, but it still won't see any channel 13 networks in networkmanager?!? [22:50] julianoliver, still no desktop. I'm running the tree right now via ssh. [22:51] greezmunkey: don't bother, the wl module doesn't support it at all :( [22:51] Arthur___: you may need to add the new media players full path [22:51] System > Preferences > Preferred Applications then the Multimedia tab.... not there [22:52] ok so my mom and dad got me this MacBook Pro for Christmas, but they asked me not to reformat the main HD(which has OS X on it) with Ubuntu because they think it's going to "break" it. I'd still like to run Ubuntu on it, but without reformatting the main HD. What do you suggest? [22:52] Arthur___: what is not there? [22:52] how do i compile a .o file i deleted from the kernel source and now i wish to recompile it with changes? i tried "make file.o" but gives me lots of errors and not compiling i guess due to includes not presented.. [22:52] dixond: Oh, well here's what I found anyways: In order to use non-US wireless channels, add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/options: [22:52] options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU [22:52] julianoliver: tēnā koe [22:53] julianoliver, it says gdm-session-wor-----gnome-session and then a bunch of things off on the right. [22:53] phibxr: any other suggestions, that one seem ok... [22:53] is there a kernel fix to avoid etherleaks? , or is this directly with the manufacturer ? [22:53] greezmunkey: yeah, that's the one. no dice I'm afraid :( ndiswrapper looks promising, but the networks won't show in networkmanager [22:53] Neezer: looks positive.. gnome's running. [22:53] hey where do the standard apt-get packages come from? i've run into a few packages that install way too much crap and have really bad suggested packages like "ttf-japanese-mincho" for a database server [22:53] it's wacky. [22:53] t3218980: hmm, not really. i'm not that familiar with compaq hardware. [22:53] dixond: nm is a PITA much of the time. sometimes better to roll your own scripts around the iw tools. [22:53] julianoliver, is there a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal on the desktop? [22:53] Slade-: the packages can be viewed at: http://packages.ubuntu.com [22:54] it says multimedia and i got options for rythmbox and totem i want to change the default dvd player.. i have it set to vlc now but i want to use mplayer... [22:54] Slade-: if a package depends on another package then it will need to be installed [22:54] phibxr: ok :) [22:54] julianoliver: yeah, I'm leaning that way :( channel 13 makes a huge difference over chan 11 for me or I wouldn't bother :( [22:54] dixond: NZ, are you good at rading upside down? [22:54] !default [22:54] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [22:54] Neezer: i think there's an ALT-F2 or similar to bring up a run prompt. i'm on Debian here atm without Gnome.. [22:54] !who | Arthur___ [22:54] s/rading/reading [22:54] Arthur___: 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 :) [22:54] greezmunkey: only on some days ;) [22:54] dixond: i understand.. [22:54] ActionParsnip: right. but where do they come from before going to packages.ubuntu.com ? i mean are these user created? [22:54] i want to change the action when a dvd is inserted... [22:54] anyone else that can help me with my sound problem on a compag laptop [22:55] anyone have some must-have package suggestions for a new 10.04 install? [22:55] i dont want vlc to open the dvd i want mplayer too [22:55] ActionParsnip: i've seen a few that seem improperly packaged is all, thats why i'm asking [22:55] Is there any difference in pairing a bluetooth keyboard with the default bluetooth tool in karmic compared to using blueman? I seem to still have the normal keyboard layout even though I've choosen apple in System Preferences / Keyboard. [22:55] snxs: According to http://blog.spoofed.org/2007/03/etherleak-old-dog-old-tricks.html etherleaks are a kernel issue, and fixed in the kernel. Given how old the issue is, I'd be surprised if all current kernels didn't already have the fix... [22:55] unfortunately we bought multiple uniden wdect 23xx phones a while ago and the interference is noticeable [22:55] Arthur___: then choose custom and add the full path to mplayer .. if mplayer has been installed [22:55] Slade-: the dude compiling it is where they come from before that [22:55] dixond: hehe, there's a good use-case for channel 13. [22:56] ActionParsnip: is that someone working for ubuntu? or are these community jobs [22:56] Slade-: log a bug if its badly packaged and it will hopefully be improved if it is deemed suitable etc [22:56] Slade-: both [22:56] Sooo [22:56] Should I just repost my question? [22:57] losher would it be normal for it to appear on a nessus scan ? not critical though [22:57] Help, Ubuntu 9.10 fresh install, dual booting with windows, partitions are hd0,1 windows hd1,1 linux hd1,2 hd1,5 (Neither of these are boot) Grub was an issue, now have that working, only attempting to boot into ubuntu, I get an error reading (Device (my device's long uuid) does not exist) When it clearly does, and not only is it in my box, I can mount it from the livecd.

[22:57] ActionParsnip: cool. yea i think i'll log one for couchdb.. it uses about 10x the packages as the centos package [22:57] the MD5 on my new ISO matched up correctly. The CD, however, I am not so sure about. I ran a "Test CD For Errors" option and it seems to be locked up. I don't know commands or messages, I've never used it before. However, a list of lines was shown when i tried to test my cd for errors. The last line reads [182.972700] [] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x380. Does this seem like a CD error? [22:58] no [22:58] t3218980 what sort of internal specs do you have? [22:58] System > Preferences > Preferred Applications then the Multimedia tab.... set to totem i insert a dvd and vlc plays it , i dont want vlc to play it i would like gxine or mplayer to open it [22:58] Sanus: how can i see that? [22:58] philipro: did you burn the iso to cd from another linux install? [22:58] snxs: good question, sorry, no idea.... [22:58] t3218980 I don't know. [22:58] t3218980 But I can find out [22:59] losher ok thanks :) [22:59] Sanus: ok... [22:59] sudo lshw -html >> info.html [22:59] If I'm understanding you right, no. I burned it using the Windows 7 image burning tool. [22:59] t3218980 Run " sudo lshw -html >> info.html " in the terminal [22:59] philipro: oh :( (otherwise md5sum /dev/cdrom) [22:59] Hello, the switch user menu option only locks the screen, and does not in fact switch to another user. Is this a known bug? [22:59] Then open up info.html wherever you ran that at [22:59] If you can't find that, just type "firefox info.html". [22:59] brb [23:00] I've never had/used Linux before and I'm using a brand new laptop to speak to you guys running windows 7. this is also the computer I've used to burn the ISOs and such. [23:00] Sanus: ok i try that [23:00] philipro: although possibly you could boot to the live cd session, and then run that command. [23:00] Can anyone name a good no-fuss compatible basic USB sound card? [23:00] the cheapest new one on ebay is £1.99 lol... claims it works with linux... no idea of how to be sure it will however [23:00] I am using 9.10 and trying to upgrade to 10.04b1 using 'update-manager -d'. But, as soon as i click the "upgrade" button, the window freezes. Nothing has happened for the last 10 mins. Please help. [23:00] do you mean use that "Test Ubuntu without making changes to my computer" command or something like that? [23:00] philipro: yes, that one [23:00] I can't get Ubuntu to run even from that.

[23:22] julianoliver: dont worry :) [23:22] Sanus: 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [23:22] Sanus: ok, then we can skip the restore, and checking the UUID. There is one other place that the UUID appears, and that's in /etc/fstab, which in your case will be /mnt/sdb1/etc/fstab. Check the root line's UUID in /mnt/sdb1/etc/fstab [23:22] anybody know how to change the default dvd player, Linux desktop 2.6.31-20-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux. i changed it to vlc but i dont want vlc anymore i changed the settings in system>pref> perfered applications back to totem, but when i insert a cd vlc plays it.... is there a file to edit???? i would be happy to go back to the default setting when it asks you what you want to do????? i am...
