[00:00] GSwindle76: you already know you can ssh from server to server. You should capture packets and logs while you're trying to connect from client to server and it times out. [00:00] 1 sec ill grab the link [00:00] https://d2l.cbe.ab.ca/ [00:00] it loads fast under win but it takes a while in linux with ff [00:00] blackmamba, im not really interested in how long it takes... what you should be doing is ticking off a list of possibilities that are causing the percieved delay. [00:00] hy. may someone be so kind to explain me what does eat up about 100MB of ram in nm-applet? [00:00] blackmamba: that link loaded in under 1 second :P [00:01] GSwindle76, you did ssh -v from the client? [00:01] yes nunya it hangs on debug1: Sending env LANG = en_US.UTF-8 [00:01] wow It has alot of tools o...O [00:01] nikin: it shows 11Mbs for me, sooo [00:01] Trek, what browser r u using? if its ff what version or tweaks have u installed [00:02] + how do I burn cd's with linux systems again lol/ [00:02] hehe [00:02] Guest92792: check in the apps, it'd one one there for burning [00:02] I use k3b myself, but that's in kde :P [00:02] airtonix, the loadtime is what my question is all about and trust me ive been trying to break down what could be causing it [00:02] Guest92792: brasero [00:03] nope don't have 1 =X [00:03] blackmamba: firefox, with IPv6 off, ad-block plus online [00:03] Im seeing a waringin that says Mar bla bla greg-desktop[3632] WARNING: /etc/ssh/moduli does not exist, using fixed modulus [00:03] is Tom M on a cruise ship that's going down?

[00:03] Trek, is turning off IPv6 off a feature in the menus? [00:03] does it work on dbian based? [00:04] debian* [00:04] blackmamba: not really, you have to know what to search for, standby [00:04] why my computer got to crash when I connect to the internet?..who can tell me .... [00:04] I have 2 usb memory sticks. Neither mount on my Ubuntu pc, but one which is FAT mounts fine for XP, the other which is ext3 mounts fine for my ubuntu laptop. Why can't I mount them on my pc and what can I do to 'fix' them? [00:04] Trek, thnx [00:04] nikin: I'm guessing 'top' isn't showing child processes or something, it shows 11Mbs for me, I use 'qps' which is a visual process manager, is in the repos, it shows the whole process tree, sooo [00:04] tuxuser I booted into safe mode and tried shutting down using shutdown -P now and I still had the same problem [00:04] blackmamba: want to know how to turn IPv6 off? [00:05] Trek, yep [00:05] blackmamba: PM me please [00:05] hi [00:05] why my computer got to crash when I connect to the internet?..who can tell me ....:'( [00:06] hi [00:06] nikin: just checked in 'top', also shows 11mbs for me [00:06] hi [00:06] metalf8801: what I meant was to watch the messages on the screen while shutting down the pc and see where the process hangs (and report back here of course :-) [00:06] hi, all [00:06] GSwindle76: have you tried both with server ip and hostname ? [00:06] Typos_King: let me check with that... anyway i am runing a bare X without gdm and fluxbox as a wm. i have a terminal open with a screen session and irssi... that should not be 365MB [00:07] why my ubuntu pc got to crash when I connected to the internet?..who can tell me .... [00:07] heyt [00:07] yudun tell me more about it [00:07] i need some help with ubuntu [00:07] configuring a static I{ [00:07] hey diane [00:07] IP [00:07] yes hostname dosnt work [00:07] GSwindle76: also, maybe deleting ~/.ssh (in the client and in the server /home/greg folder) might help. [00:07] ive done that already [00:07] basically i have it setup now so local IP is working just fine as static, but when trying to reach outside the local network the ubuntu server is not working [00:07] oye. I just upgraded my machine to Karmic and can no longer ssh in! I was able to get an emergency console setup. Restarted the ssh service but still cant get in. Any suggestions? [00:07] hugehug: when I use the terminal to update or set up the firefox,the ubuntu pc crashed [00:08] ? [00:08] yudun1989: 9.1? 8.1? 9.0? [00:08] GSwindle76: then you might have some sort of dns timeout going on... isn't the server trying to do reverse mapping on the client ip address ? To find out it might help a packet dump from the server while the client times out.

[00:09] okay how would i determine that?

[00:16] metalf8801: I'd look for hw errors then, install smartmontools then do a smartctl -a /dev/sda, then smartctl -t long /dev/sda (change device to where your swap partition is on) [00:16] nikin: 5h 13m [00:17] is it possible to use gparted to format a disk? or is it just for partitioning?

[00:19] Guest92792: k3b is the best [00:19] ping works for that [00:20] ok thanks let me check =D [00:20] yundun1989: on your reinstall yesterday... did you wipe the partition before resintalling? did you use a clean-slate partition, at the very least formatted, instead of installing ontop of existing files [00:20] nevermind. I managed to manually mount it. [00:20] Typos_King: althrought thats not the problem becouse its 414152 of 832240 used [00:20] I have the same problem with an older version of the kernel [00:20] Diane: cat /etc/resolv.conf [00:20] metalf8801: I would do a hardware check at this point. As I said, smartctl -t long /dev/sda then after a while smartctl -a /dev/sda [00:21] resolv.conf only has this line [00:21] nameserver 192.168.0.1 [00:21] Diane: last one: route -n -v [00:21] my firefox browser is not displaying CLOSE, MINIMIZE, MAXIMINIZE options. is not even accepting compiz wobbly effects, i also tried a complete removal and it didn't work [00:21] anyone can help me please ?

[00:23] thats it [00:23] connect: Network is unreachable [00:23] teorrr: look for ext3grep [00:23] tried it for both? [00:23] mrman: are there any details? [00:23] teorrr: your personal files [00:23] nope [00:24] mrman: did you create an msdos table? [00:24] thats the whole message [00:24] yes thats what im trying to male [00:24] takishan, i dont know about windows and dont care now..i care about my ubuntu partition [00:24] *make [00:24] teorrr: if it's a partition table writeouts, I doubt it myself, as even from a live-cd boot it won't let you mount it or even recognize it, since I'd think the partition information got messed [00:24] mrman, its possible your device is messed then [00:24] mrman, why'd you need to create the table in the first place? [00:24]  im trying to install ubuntu studio, but after i select install ubuntu studio from the cd, my laptop screen just goes white and gets really bright [00:24] tuxuser: i tried it for both it still says network unreachable.. i knw it works lan because hte 192.168.0.1 ping works fine and the putty client im using locally works fine lol [00:24] im trying to format it so i can put UNR on it [00:24] is there another way to format it? [00:25] mrman: why did you need to create a table instead of removing the individual partition? [00:25] mrman: something must be messed, I can't fix it without seeing the drive myself [00:25] mrman: sometimes if is mounted or the partition was not done correctly it could gave you bad information, try deleting the entire partition [00:25] ok [00:25] Diane: it seems like the router is not properly configured or even connected to the Internet. Can other pcs browse the web ? === _FeedHunter is now known as FeedHunter [00:25] i tried right clicking on the partition but it wont give me any options [00:25] tuxuser: yes the pc im on is browsing the web just fine and there are no problems [00:25] theyre all greyed out [00:26] i have DHCP turned off with the router [00:26] Diane: that shouldn't be a problems since the ubuntu server has static ip in eth0... [00:26] hmm k3b doesn't work ... [00:26] teorrr: you care about the files in the ubuntu partition or windows, you can run the ubuntu live disc and see if you can recover anything with that [00:26] correct [00:26] program doesn't start somehow [00:26] well [00:26] do i have to unmound the partition first? [00:26] did u look at the kernel IP routing table i mean it looks weird right?> [00:26] *unmount [00:26] Diane, according to your pastebin of the route output, you should only be able to contact 192.168.0.x addresses. [00:26] mrman: yes [00:26] Guest92792: if the OS isn't picking up the hardware, the app won't be able to use it [00:26] http://pastebin.com/bTwciYTh [00:27] ok [00:27] tuxuser, have you tried to ping an external ip? [00:27] ok.. [00:27] is there a way to create a user and restrict them to /home/user? [00:27] so how do i fix that lol that is probably the problem [00:27] how do i let it pick up my cd burners? [00:27] mrman: this is better done on the live ubuntu disk [00:27] Diane: dsnyders is right, a default gateway is missing in route ! [00:27] Guest92792: sooooo, either you don't have a cdrw, or your system didn't load any drivers for it [00:27] route add default gw 192.168.0.1 [00:27] err i mean Diane can you ping external ips or have you tried? i mean try pining 69.147.114.224 thats a yahoo ip and it should ping back [00:27] my system didn't load it xD [00:27] clickme: what do you mean? [00:27] Guest92792: is it running [00:28] Don't know [00:28] clickme, i care about the ubuntu partition...which had 45G files and now it saws to have a few mb ...im in a live cd and i dont know if i can recover the recently deleted files [00:28] horray now it worked! [00:28] where did i just add that gateway? t which file? [00:28] I'm usually on windows and kind of newb on linux systems =X [00:28] clickme: what do you mean?

[00:30] mrman: before you do, you know about partitions [00:30] yes [00:31] error [00:31] clickme: yes i di [00:31] exit [00:31] *do [00:31] KDEInit could not launch 'k3b [00:31] \quit [00:31] ohh boy [00:31] Diane: you already have a default gateway specified in file interfaces; according to man interfaces, the network line is required for 2.0.x keernels, so I'd start by deleting it and see if would keep the default gateway thing after a reboot.. [00:31] meh, ima mess with this tomorrow [00:31] mrman: well if you do know, you should be ok with the live CD if gparted can't see what you are looking for or ubuntu in the live cd then your files are gone, so give that a try [00:32] tuxuser, Diane left about a dozen posts ago.

[00:57] histo: That's what I've been told. I have a dual AMD 64 core. Would there be an appreciable difference in the kernel if I would choose desktop or server? Would one be more power efficient than the other? [00:57] PeterT you could try rssh [00:57] histo, thought Ihad debian lol [00:57] my firefox browser is not displaying CLOSE, MINIMIZE, MAXIMINIZE options. is not even accepting compiz wobbly effects, i also tried a complete removal and it didn't work, and is not f11 [00:58] upfwnv03: what's that? [00:58] geoff918: not that I know of the only difference i've seen is pae support which is more than 4gb of ram. They are phasing out the server kernel anyways [00:58] geoff918: i thought [00:58] clickme: alt-f2 gconf-editor [00:58] geoff918: ok [00:58] clickme: I don't know the specific setting, but I'm going to bet that it's in there [00:59] PeterT, restricted shell. A restricted shell is a Unix shell that has been modified to allow the Unix shell user to do fewer things than a normal shell would allow him to do.

[01:00] dsnyders, cd/dvd rw don't know which 1 [01:00] Guest92792: how did you get debian on that system [01:00] clickme: maybe delete .mozilla from your home directory? just a guess... === mekgp is now known as _mekgp_ [01:00] Guest92792: they should just be working. but you are having issues with the packages you ahve installed etc.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:00] clickme: he's saying he has ubuntu now 8.10 [01:00] histo, ok [01:00] geoff918: i thought a complete remove would do that [01:01] clickme, I thought i had debian but it is ubuntu instead [01:01] geoff918: I think cpufreq-selector or something along the lines could make a difference wether you're running server or client kernel... [01:01] Guest92792: nice [01:01] clickme: depends on how it's done. What I've found is that a purge won't necessarily remove all the custom settings--just the binaries [01:01] clickme, butthose burning programs still don't work [01:01] geoff918: I mean if you run cpu always in full freq mode or on deman strategy it should make a visible difference in power consuption [01:01] tuxuser: geoff918 isnt' that part of acpi though? I had a server I just set up and it still had acpi installed which caused problems withthe older bios I hade. [01:02] Guest92792: do you still have the old disk [01:02] Guest92792: first you need to fix the paackage errors because if wodim is installed you should be able to just use that. [01:02] histo: I belive acpi must be enabled to allow cpu freq scaling. Not 100% sure though. [01:02] Guest92792: wodim -f isoblah.iso [01:02] histo: I've seen also acpi as a major source of problems with older bioses due to them being broken wrt acpi support... [01:03] tuxuser: yes but acpi works ont he server kernel [01:03] geoff918: complete removal in synaptics is the same thing as purge in the termial [01:03] Hello [01:03] clickme, old disc? [01:03] histo, hmm [01:03] geoff918: the only thing you are goign to see different is pre-empt used to be an option and pae which is more than 4gigs of ram supported [01:04] Guest92792: how did you install ubuntu [01:04] Hey could someone give me some guidance by any chance?

[02:11] ok [02:11] bye [02:11] I need to find an .deb file for ath5k, a wireless driver that, while old and feature lacking, is stable. I have already blacklisted the unstable driver. [02:11] h4ck3rk1ng, bye!

[02:11] weee one more for the ignore list! [02:11] oh he's been on a roll === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [02:12] xorwhy: what is the problem in specific? [02:12] Anyone familiar with troubleshooting driver issues? [02:12] does no one know how to search google anymore? :p [02:13] no [02:13] jadakren: i got it out of the tar file as a folder === user7 is now known as nightrider [02:13] izmanromli: The wireless driver ath9k is not stable on my, and many other wireless cards. Poor performance (weak signal) and disassociation is frequent during file transfers. [02:13] bigtom21485, and ? tried running the floola file? [02:13] danzig: I think the more appropriate question would be: does anyone know HOW to search google at all? :) [02:14] true :) [02:14] xorwhy: try using a Windows driver [02:14] hi all [02:14] izmanromli: That's not really, uh how should I put this. Kosher? [02:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/347711 That network driver bug has been filed for a year [02:14] and has been in 8.10 through 9.10 [02:14] I search google... only problem is the pages get outdated so fast and you try and do what they say and it screws up your system... [02:14] xorwhy: install ndiswrapper [02:15] #MC-crew === RabPete is now known as xo [02:15] izmanromli: I have considered that, however, functionality would be stripped significantly even with success. [02:15] jadakren: where does linux put its programs? (like windows uses "program files") [02:16] jadakren: just so i dont have to put it on my desktop [02:16] bigtom21485, there is no central place. i'd keep that floola on your ipod [02:16] izmanromli: For example, there's probably little hope of passive scanning with a Windows driver. [02:16] bigtom21485: /usr/bin in default mostly, but can be any place [02:17] bigtom21485, it does not rely on anything you have installed on your system. which also means that if you grab the windows version of floola and keep that on your ipod alos then you have a portable cross platform method of dealing with your ipod [02:17] xorwhy: what ubuntu version do you use now? [02:17] bigtom21485, but to be honest, i would just dual boot the ipod with rockbox [02:18] izmanromli: I believe it's karmic, whatever version Mint 8 lays on top of. [02:19] bigtom21485, is your 5th gen ipod the 30 or 60/80gb version ? [02:19] jadakren: 120gb [02:19] xorwhy: oh, never try it before [02:19] xorwhy: when i got problem with atheros, i switch to Windows river [02:19] bigpresh, is it the one with steel backplate or the newer type that is all plastic ? [02:20] the root partition on my ssd drive has been spitting errors in dmesg and remounting itself read only. I keep having to reboot and fsck. Does this mean the drive is about to die? [02:20] is there anything I could/should be doing? [02:20] nicketynick: not sure, did you run a fsck on it ? [02:20] nicketynick, you mean a part from backing stuff up ? [02:20] nicketynick: try to recover your system first [02:21] here can i search for and learn about uninstalling packaged completely [02:21] where can i search for and learn about uninstalling packaged completely [02:21] clickme: use synaptic [02:21] DasEi: yeah. it put some things in lost and found and said some other things I didn't understand. then it happened again [02:21] do they have jdownloader for ubuntu? [02:21] jadakren: yes :) [02:21] Is there an application switcher for Gnome (or Compiz) that is like the one in MacOSX or Gnome-Shell? [02:21] izmanromli: it doesn't always work [02:21] wtf [02:22] jadakren how do i tell this program to copy everything on my ipod to my ubuntu's music folder? [02:22] clickme: what about aptitude purge? [02:22] bigtom21485, not sure, i havent used an apple product in about 5 years now. [02:22] izmanromli: it didn't work, i want everything including the settings [02:22] FUCK YOU [02:23] wtf [02:23] i thought we were grown ups in here [02:23] !language [02:23] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:23] clickme: it should be done with synaptic or command line if you install it via repositories [02:23] izmanromli: it didn't work when i tried it, it still kept the settings [02:24] nicketynick: it's a bad sign. First step, anything you can't live without on that SSD should be backed up *now*... [02:24] nicketynick: so fsck ended with no error, btw. filesystem was repaired and now you're getting errors again ? can you paste dmesg ? [02:24] Losha: hi :p [02:24] clickme: did you install it from a source? [02:24] nicketynick: dmesg > dmesg.txt [02:24] I re-installed windows via my computers recoverdisks but grub still shows up and now the computer is bricked, what do I do? [02:24] clickme: hi! [02:24] izmanromli: nope, repo [02:24] it says grub rescue> [02:24] is ath5k included in the generic kernel for karmic? or is ath5k deprecated as of ath9k? [02:24] clickme: that's on purpose. there's probably a "dot file" in your home dir [02:25] xorwhy, no ath5k and ath9k work separately [02:25] Does anyone know what to do? [02:25] rkvirani: Boot with the live cd, format and then reinstall windoes from there. [02:25] kriebel: i want to learn how to remove everything from a program [02:25] I did [02:25] I have hidden the menubar of the terminal window [02:25] I put in my recoverdisks [02:25] can it be show again? [02:26] *shown [02:26] rkvirani: Did you format before that? if so I'm not sure how you have grub still [02:26] clickme: if it keeps prefs in your home dir, that's normal. It's a UNIX thing, and you'll just have to figure out how it does it. What program? [02:26] boloon, which liveCD? [02:26] the ubuntu livecd? [02:26] rkvirani: yup [02:26] shit [02:26] helloo ppl [02:26] I have to wait for another three damn hours [02:26] kriebel: well in this case it was firefox [02:26] for the shit to re-recover [02:26] I deleted the parittions [02:26] can someone help me? [02:26] HOLY LANGUAGE [02:26] firefox 3.6 on karmic desktop [02:26] DasEi: can't do taht at the moment as the FS is read only :) [02:26] that wasnt enough? [02:26] clickme, you want to uninstall... Firefox? [02:26] rkvirani: Your windows cd should let you format but if it doesnt and your having issues, that should fix it [02:26] haha [02:26] OMG G RATED [02:27] DasEi: i think this is the relevant part http://pastebin.com/VseB9suC [02:27] the volume in my laptop running on ubuntu is too low [02:27] Recovery disks are not Windows Discs [02:27] psycho_oreos: ath9k is loaded automatically for my device. How would I go about causing ath5k to load instead? I have already blacklisted ath5k. [02:27] nicketynick: have you got a live cd ? [02:27] how can I raise it up? [02:27] rkvirani: yup if you deleted and created the partition then grub should not be there. [02:27] i had a problem with it [02:27] clickme: terminal, run `rm -r .mozilla/firefox [02:27] BoondoKlife, I think its in the MBR [02:27] or MBS [02:27] rkvirani: ehh recovery windoes either way it will install windows. === LostMyNick is now known as DarkHack [02:28] jadakren: good thin gi keep a backed-up copy of my music somewhere else because floola just flipped out and erased my entire library [02:28] fucking great [02:28] ok, no one cares.. thanks ;) [02:28] xorwhy, you're misunderstanding the whole point of ath9k and ath5k.. ath9k are for atheros chipsets that has 802.11n capability. ath5k are for atheros chipsets that don't have 802.11n capability [02:28] nicketynick: an occasional fsck, if the system didn't go down cleanly, is to be expected. But if it persists or recurs, then that usually means your disk is bad... [02:28] kriebel: are they fixing this kind of stuff [02:28] psycho_oreos: ath9k performs pooly, ath5k does not. I do not need n functionality, I need functionality. [02:29] kriebel: in future ubuntu releases [02:29] clickme: it's not a problem, if you have any understanding of how UNIX programs store your settings [02:29] why doesn't "gnome-terminal -e "read w" --window --fullscreen --hidemenubar" work? [02:29] Does anyone know why JACK will work with Ardour, but not anything else? [02:29] I have hidden the menubar of the terminal window [02:29] cutie_girl, what is the problem? [02:29] can it be shown again? [02:29] Hello all [02:29] nicketynick: have you got a live cd ? [02:29] BoondoKlife, so how do I get rid of grub? [02:29] I finally found the solution for my Dell i5 1764 video card [02:29] rodrigo3n, right click in the window, check the box [02:29] xorwhy, no, ath5k won't work with a chipset that has 802.11n capability. You might want to try the legacy madwifi driver [02:30] rodrigo3n, "gnome-terimal --show-menubar" [02:30] rkvirani: when you restore, it should create the MBR it needs [02:30] DasEi: no live cd. no cdrom drive to speak of. it's a netbook. i'd have to get an image and put it on my thumb drive [02:30] i try the Beta1 version of Ubuntu, it come with the driver for my laptop Intel Integrated video card. [02:30] acovrig, thnaks === nick_ is now known as Guest17223 [02:30] BoondoKlife, well it obviously doesnt so how do I fix it! [02:30] acovrig, thanks [02:30] rkvirani: she doesn't know how to use the volume control [02:30] why doesn't "gnome-terminal -e "read w" --window --fullscreen --hidemenubar" work? [02:30] psycho_oreos: Why won't it work? [02:31] rkvirani: call your oem, restore disks are the pits and tend to be proprietary. [02:31] if anyone is having trouble with grub failing and getting the "grub recovery>" prompt, there are open bugs on grub2 on the web, search for them [02:31] you might have to mess with your BIOS drive order or remove drives, or disable AHCI or some such [02:31] cutie_girl: are you familiar with the alsamixer command? [02:31] xorwhy, because I've said it before.. read these: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/user/Drivers/ath5k http://wireless.kernel.org/en/user/Drivers/ath9k [02:31] Does any know why JACK control can't work Jack... but Ardour will? [02:32] is there any way of showing the current running program on the terminal? [02:32] rodrigo3n, `jobs`? [02:32] anyone having problem with dotdeb repo? [02:33] kriebel, hmm, like "Terminal - Zsh" [02:33] psycho_oreos: are you so sure, that if it were you, having tried everything else would not even bother to try? [02:33] rodrigo3n: ps ax will list all running programs. top will show them interactively... [02:33] looking for an "alt-tab" style application switcher, like the one on Gnome-Shell or MacOSX. any recommendations?? [02:33] how do i get songbird to add the extension for ipod? [02:33] Nino I thought you could do that with compiz? [02:33] rodrigo3n, `ps -A|grep "program you are looking for"` for a specific program, say if you are looking for a pid [02:33] xorwhy: I see no debs for ath5k, just http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k [02:34] why doesn't "gnome-terminal -e "read w" --window --fullscreen --hidemenubar" work? [02:34] jadakren: ipod [02:34] xorwhy, your issue is simply put 802.11n capable, its probably not matured within karmic and using ath5k will never work because its not coded in [02:34] bigtom21485, yes? [02:34] Losha, that driver is integral part of kernel [02:34] thestarwolf: If you can, I don't know how… They are mostly great looking window switchers, I want an application switcher [02:35] Losha: Thanks [02:35] jadakren: why is the link to download ipod support for songbird not functional? [02:35] psycho_oreos: in that case, I'll shut up, since I obviously don't know what I'm talking about... [02:35] thestarwolf: or maybe there's a hard to find option to group windows? [02:35] bigtom21485, use the songbird ppa instead [02:35] acovrig: on my system, gnome-terminal says --fullscreen is an unknown option. Try it yourself from a terminal... [02:35] kriebel, no, i meant, show the current running program name on the title bar [02:35] does anyone know how to configure DAAP in rhythmbox ? can't find a good howto [02:35] that will be way to go then, as it's always safer to have the drive fuly unmounted for checks, might be (e2)fsck or testdisk or smartmontools in the deeper [02:36] rodrigo3n, that's not what you said, at all [02:36] bigtom21485, https://launchpad.net/~songbird-daily/+archive/ppa [02:36] oops, I meant full-screen, Losha [02:36] * kriebel runs away from the newbs, screaming [02:36] that will be way to go then, as it's always safer to have the drive fuly unmounted for checks, might be (e2)fsck or testdisk or smartmontools in the deeper, nicketynick [02:36] kriebel, sorry [02:36] jadakren: what is the songbird ppa? songbird is very nice, (by the way, excellent suggestion. ;-) ) [02:36] bigtom21485, http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-software-ubuntu-ppa [02:36] kriebel, but do you know how to show that? [02:36] How can i view used and available disk space on Xubuntu? [02:36] I have seen a Mac and tried it with Ubuntu... if you can run compiz you can download the compiz settings and check the ring switcher and set it to work [02:36] acovrig: open a terminal and type: gnome-terminal -e "read w" --window --full-screen --hidemenubar What does it say? [02:36] bigtom21485, https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html [02:36] JordanAllen: df -h [02:37] Losha, nothing, it just blinks the window and goes away [02:37] Df - h? [02:37] acovrig: weird, mine says: Unknown option --hidemenubar [02:37] JordanAllen: nope, df -h, enter this in terminal [02:37] !terminal [02:37] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:37] Losha, I guess I type too fast, --hide-menubar [02:38] how can i install php5.3 via repo? [02:38] i'm using Jaunty [02:38] Does anyone know anything about getting JACK to work? [02:38] acovrig: that one sort of works for me, I get this huge terminal (and a smaller one behind it). I repeate, have you tried running this from a terminal? [02:38] thestarwolf: what I want is to group windows of the same application, like Mac's cmd+tab and Gnome-Shell's alt+tab… I don't think the ring switcher can do that [02:38] I re-installed windows via my computers recoverdisks but grub still shows up and now the computer is bricked, what do I do? [02:39] Losha, I'm putting it in a shell script, and it doesn't work [02:39] JordanAllen: also can use baobab from meta-package gnome-utils [02:39] acovrig: try it from the command line first... [02:39] Where can I download that at DasEi? [02:39] JordanAllen: that's a gui-toll (more complicated) then [02:40] i think i just screwed my ubuntu partition. live cd says it is 400mb used out of 15gb. I am pretty sure it is more than that. Also, it mounts, but no files showing. Is there any way to recover it? [02:40] JordanAllen: *tool , sudo apt-get install gnome-utils [02:40] nothing, not any output [02:40] thestarwolf: I'm not going for eye-candy, but for usability :) [02:40] jadakren: how do i install it from the ipod update i just downloaded from the songbird website? [02:40] rkvirani: I think I answered that, we can't support your restore disks. They should install what you had for an MBR when you got the computer. [02:41] acovrig: weird. What happens if you just type gnome-terminal without any args? [02:41] if I try `gnome-terminal -e "sleep 5; zenity --info" --window --full-screen --hide-menubar` it does that, but if I do -e "sleep 5" (w/out the zenity), it stays there for 5 seconds [02:41] Losha, it works fine [02:41] rkvirani: If none of that is working then you need to call your oem and find out whats up, or ask them for a real windoes cd. Good luck with that though. [02:41] bigtom21485, wouldn't bother with the one from the website. it has problems running on ubuntu. use the ppa instead [02:42] alright [02:42] I know what you mean... I don't know if it will hide all the windows... but have you tried alltray? [02:42] 208 yay, 183 nay [02:42] nicketynick: what's the os you're speaking from now ? another ubuntu-sys ? [02:42] i was wondering if anyone can help with wubi install or point me to the right channel [02:42] !who | thestarwolf [02:42] thestarwolf: 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 :) [02:43] NinoScript, have you tried the group plugin for compiz ? [02:44] no yet [02:44] acovrig: good, so your X stuff is all working. Dunno, a bug in gnome-terminal? There are other terminal progs. Does it have to be a gnome-terminal. Try an alternative: eterm, xterm, mlterm, roxterm, terminal.app, wterm, etc... [02:44] jadakren: im kinda confused by the instructions on the website can you wlak me though this? i m kinda stressed out as it is [02:44] NinoScript, also if you install compizconfig-settings-manager then you'll be able to configure the various window switchers to only switch between windows of the same app [02:45] bigtom21485, 1) open a terminal 2) type : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:songbird-daily/ppa 3) type : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install songbird [02:45] i was wondering if anyone can help with wubi install or point me to the right channel [02:45] jadakren: Yes, I've tried the group plugin, but I do not want to manually grout them, I want them to be grouped becouse they are of the same application, I don't know if it can do that [02:45] bigtom21485, this is assuming you dont already have songbird installed, which then means you'll need to remove it first' [02:46] what problem do you have using WUBI [02:46] NinoScript, i think one of the window switcher plugins has seperate keybinds for showing windows of the same app. the scale plugin(expose) does too i think [02:46] jadakren: and that's just the opposite of what I am looking, I want to switch to different apps, and get all of it's windows on front [02:46] NinoScript, ok. [02:47] !vi [02:47] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [02:47] I changed it, I put everything I want in the -e to a script, then put that script in the -e and it works [02:47] poagester: I'd only not recoomend wubi.. for trial even live cd is more reliable, if you neither want a dualboot or a usb install (stick), I'd recommend virtualbox [02:47] go gedit and nano [02:47] jadakres: It's fun to customize linux :P [02:47] acovrig: very good... [02:47] NinoScript, are you aware that the scale plugin lets you filter out windows by typing in words when its active ? [02:47] now, how do I use the cmd-line to log-out a user? [02:47] (me) [02:48] your right wubi bring a have of GRUB problems [02:48] vulc4no, when i boot into the win boot loader i see the option of ubuntu, after selecting ubuntu i am left at a grub command line. ubuntu is on a separate hdd so i am not quite sure how to point to it or get to that installation [02:48] NinoScript, that could work for you if your apps are having there window titles prefixed with the app name [02:48] im having problems running ubuntu on virtual box.. it boots in low graphics mode after i try installing the guest additions [02:48] nevermind, how do I use rsync with ssh without asking for a passwd? [02:48] anyone able to tell me how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/399081/ [02:48] Dadud, you've explained the basics... but what is the issue ? [02:48] ssh-keys evidentily doesn't work :( [02:48] Dadud: boot in rescue mode, issue : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:49] bigtom21485, is that working for you ? [02:49] yep :-) [02:49] jadakren: didn't know that… just tried it, didn't work :P is there an option for that? [02:49] give me a sec, im kinda multitasking hardcore here and bleh. [02:49] I'm having trouble with a wireless mouse/keyboard combo for 9.10 on PS3. Any who can help with that? I tried doing "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptic" but it tells me it couldn't find t he package [02:49] NinoScript, might be i forget [02:50] DasEi, when i try the live disk it claims there is not a live fs to use [02:50] trying to use rsync [02:51] acovrig: you will have to set ssh to hot based authentification and make sure the keys are on both machines, it's in /etc/ssh/ssh_config [02:51] jadakren: what is the command-line method of installing (ppa) the ipod add-on for linux 64? [02:51] NinoScript, actually that wont do waht you want... have a look at Xtile. [02:51] jadakren: if i wasnt so tired i would be studying command-line more [02:51] acovrig:*host-based [02:51] bigtom21485, what do you mean by 'ipod addon' [02:51] Hello all... today I installed ubuntu base only with the minimal CD, and did apt-get install gnome-core gdm human-theme x11-xserver-utils ... and that automatically installed openoffice.. why ???? [02:52] DasEi, I copied the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the server at ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and it works fine in ssh, but not in automated rsync [02:52] ##apple Cannot send to channel [02:52] how do I fix that? [02:52] well theres no lace on songbird that says "Devices" like i wouldve thought [02:52] I'm following the Ubuntu wiki's guide to restoring grub after installing Windows on a partition. When I run "sudo grubinstall etc etc etc" I get an error: http://pastebin.com/UMTup4gL [02:52] and its not seeing my ipod that my computer is seeing [02:52] acovrig: but you told rsync to use ssh with (if other then 22 ) right port ? [02:53] jadakren: what's that? :O [02:53] I'm having trouble with a wireless mouse/keyboard combo for 9.10 on PS3. Any who can help with that? I tried doing "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptic" but it tells me it couldn't find t he package [02:54] hello i have a question im having trouble installing Utorrent 2.0 under wine anyone have a clue ? [02:54] yeah, use ktorrent [02:54] jadakren: its not seeing my ipod so dont i need to get the ipod add-on? [02:54] Richiie: use a native torrent app [02:54] when i open the Utorrent.exe file under wine it just starts but i really wanna install it, is it possible? Just because i have some tweak settings i really dont want to enter every single time im starting Utorrent [02:54] I mean, sorry. That's not a solution. Just better imo [02:55] Richiie: deluge :) [02:55] xangua: yeah but the problem is that Transmissoion etc is banned on big private trackers [02:55] anyone know how to add the ipod add-on for songbird? [02:55] bigtom21485, i assume so... i dont have an ipod anymore : http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/12 [02:55] there's an ipod addon for songbird? [02:55] tnasmission is not the only torrent app [02:55] why does this in a minimal install end up installing openoffice suite? apt-get install gnome-core gdm human-theme x11-xserver-utils [02:55] BoondoKlife, http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/254009228831 [02:56] nightsjammies: yes, but appears that doesn't wrk with the latest ipod/iphone [02:56] xangua: is Deluge good for torrent sites that are private ? for example torrentleech [02:56] is there problems with apt-get update for anyone?

[02:56] acovrig: of course [02:56] jadakren: lol i need something that fits in an armband [02:56] Richiie: transmission isn't banned by any of the trackers I've found... although utorrent has been banned by a couple (new protocol favors utorrent over others) [02:56] then it does me no good. back to lucid and vbox then [02:57] acovrig: it's saying IP Forbidden [02:57] bigtom21485, have you tried using rhythmbox or banshee ?

[03:00] I just installed ubuntu on a machine via a usb drive. Now I'm looking to install the ndis package so I can connect to the internet. However, for that, I have to have the CD to install it from, but I do not have a working cd player in the pc. What's the best way to get ndiswrapper installed on this cd-less internet-less machine? [03:00] hey! can anybody recommend a webcam that works 100% perfect in linux? im tired of trying to get my uvcvideo cam to work lol [03:00] gbear14275: I'm on a live CD, just so you know. [03:01] Andorin: why sda1, and not /dev/sda ? [03:01] acovrig: same deal.. "failed to fetch error 403 forbidden" [03:02] Losha: Because I can't read. That fixed it. Thank you. ^^ [03:02] I'm having trouble with a wireless mouse/keyboard combo for 9.10 on PS3. Any who can help with that? I tried doing "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptic" but it tells me it couldn't find t he package [03:02] Andorin: :-). World:0 Losha:2 [03:03] NinoScript, are you using docky by chance ? maybe try that [03:03] I'm partial to the in-screen search function of ktorrent. [03:03] that's wierd, all my http ones work, but why is it trying to pull from cdrom://? [03:03] acovrig: any error messages? [03:03] Richiie: thats possible with any client [03:03] acovrig: ugh, figured it out. stale http_proxy environment variable in the session. [03:03] nightsjammies, ? [03:03] acovrig: cheers [03:03] anyone know how to enable rts/cts in ubuntu (iwconfig isn't setting it)? [03:03] yes? [03:03] how do I not have it pull from the cdrom:// when doing `apt-get update`? [03:03] I'm looking to install the ndiswrapper-common package so I can connect to the internet. However, for that, I have to have the CD to install it from, but I do not have a working cd player in the pc. What's the best way to get ndiswrapper installed on this cd-less internet-less machine?

[03:04] er, tab search, I mean [03:04] and sync the two in the future [03:04] can anyone help with an install [03:04] Richiie: why don't you try deluge out and see how you like it [03:04] then try out other clients and see how you like them [03:04] not a clue. what firmware are you using in your ipod? [03:04] nightsjammies: how do i tell? [03:05] is anyone here tried the beta1 yet? [03:05] what kinda ipod are you using? [03:05] acovrig: edit the sources list, there's an option in synaptic, or by hand somewhere under /etc/apt [03:05] !ask | RainSoul [03:05] RainSoul: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:05] 120gb classic 5 gen [03:05] nightsjammies: 120gb classic 5th gen [03:05] umm, go into settings, I think [03:05] bigtom21485, are you sure its a 5th gen because they only went up to 80gb [03:05] Losha, would the gui System/Administration/Software Sources do it? [03:05] search for an about screen. [03:05] jadakren: its a classic 120gb [03:06] bigtom21485, ok so its not a real 5th gen then. [03:06] and gtkpod doesn't work with it? [03:06] acovrig: I think so (I always hand edit). Is there a cdrom option you can untick? [03:06] if i type in my serial number can apple tell me what gen it is? [03:06] or someone else [03:06] dechecked and removed, but it still does it... [03:06] Richiie: how about asking on your favorite trackers what everyone there uses? [03:06] then use one of those [03:06] maybe someone can assist me with installing ubuntu with windows xp installed first. i get the following error: unable to find a medium containing a live file system [03:07] bigtom21485, look at this table : http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodPort#Rockbox_Status [03:07] booting from the live disk [03:07] Hello everyone, I said this to #ubuntu-server, but it's dead in there. I'm trying to setup UEC on my box, but, as always, it doesn't quite work as expected. [03:07] Richiie: it's no big deal. You can change clients later on. Deluge or transmission seem to get good reviews... [03:07] http://pastebin.com/VzVUJ2pU [03:07] bigtom21485, according to that table yours is : 2nd Gen Classic (120GB) [03:07] so anyways.......................... i burned UBUNTU 9.10 at 4x speed and booted up. pressed install. Everything seemed to be going fine until it landed on a brownish screen with no icons or writing, the cd rom light stopped blinking, and it stayed that way for almost an hour. i finally rebooted. any ideas what thats about? [03:07] jadakren: yes, I'm using docky and gnome-do, but I'm looking for keyboard shortcuts [03:07] Losha, nevermind, it was the 1st line in /etc/apt/sources.list, lol guess the gui didn't do it [03:07] nightsjammies: it is 2.0.1 PC [03:07] RainSoul: Try reburning. [03:07] anyone know why rsync doesn't use the ssh keys? [03:08] probably. [03:08] NinoScript, so what you want is for alt_tab to just show apps not windows. [03:08] anyone know how to enable rts/cts in ubuntu (iwconfig isn't setting it)? [03:08] acovrig: guis. Bah, humbug... [03:08] okay so i have a 120gb 2nd gen classic [03:08] whoops [03:08] doesnt look that old [03:08] bikcmp: so set the EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable... [03:08] Losha, lol - ssh rocks [03:08] bigtom21485, its alot mroe recent than a 5th gen ipod video :) [03:08] im startung to think its the burner i used cuz i tried installing linux mint/puppy AND jolicloud [03:08] acovrig: :-) === Camion is now known as sdfgsdfg [03:08] jadakren: yes :) [03:08] okay, so have you tried gtkpod? [03:09] burner software* [03:09] Losha: TO anything specific? [03:09] 1) it thinks its blank (since trying floola it can't see its own 30gb of music library), and 2) my computer doesnt wanna copy the files to the music folder of my home folder [03:10] bikcmp: that'll be in the documentation for euca-create-volume I imagine. I've never heard of it myself... [03:10] anyone know why rsync doesn't use the ssh keys? [03:10] bigtom21485, use the repair function of floola [03:10] ahh, okay. [03:10] what about rhythmbox? [03:10] acovrig: the ssh keys are in ~HOME/.ssh (not in .rsync) [03:10] or itunes 7 in wine? [03:10] ahh...yeah floola flipped out on my computer also im not sure if i trust that is there another way? [03:10] and no itunes either [03:10] why not? [03:11] bigtom21485, the db file just probably corrupted [03:11] to the no itunes, I mean? [03:11] the whole point is to stay away from windows [03:11] why does this in a minimal install end up installing openoffice suite? apt-get install gnome-core gdm human-theme x11-xserver-utils [03:11] just to prove a point [03:11] acovrig: my rsync certainly does. Try using e,g, rsync -e 'ssh -l user -i file_path_to_key' .... [03:11] I am using (under Add To Panel...) several instances of Weather Report (gweather?) and one has not updated for a couple of weeks. I called the weather service, but they can't help until I can tell them from where Weather Report pulls its information. Any Weather Report gurus here? [03:11] okay. [03:11] rtscts, I know, but I want to automate rsync, and not have to type in a passwd, I did the ssh-keygen correctly, it works normally, just not for rsync, how do I fix this? [03:11] Hello [03:11] jadakren: hwo do i repair it with floola? [03:11] !who | nightsjammies [03:11] hi. how can i add a boot parameter that will last even after updates* [03:11] nightsjammies: 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 :) [03:11] bigtom21485, look in the menus [03:12] so...!tab Aciid [03:12] so I run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts and then I get a screen that contains the Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java. but it doesn't let me do fucking anything from there. wtf am I supposed to do?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:13] nightsjammies, the point is that you should just prefix your messages with your recipents name... you're not the only one in this room having a convo [03:14] Losha: second burn at lowest speed of my burner with the same result. I was able to use wubi and install it that way but it stops a a grub cli [03:14] !who | nightsjammies [03:14] nightsjammies: 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 :) [03:14] ah, okay. so how do I use the hightlite thing? [03:14] nightsjammies, just put their name in the message. [03:14] Losha, key file path on client, or server? [03:14] !tab [03:14] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:14] okay. [03:15] anyone know how to enable rts/cts in ubuntu (iwconfig isn't setting it)? [03:15] nightsjammies, xchat and irssi both support tab completion. [03:15] so I run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts and then I get a screen that contains the Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java. but it doesn't let me do fucking anything from there. wtf am I supposed to do? [03:15] what's the easiest webcam to use with ubuntu? and has anybody got a logitech quickcam pro 5000 working? [03:15] kingrayray, no. [03:15] acovrig: key file path on the client. You aren't expected to know anything about the details on the server, which could, after all, be a windows machine running some weird-ass sshd server... [03:15] chd: scroll to the bottom and select accept; it will let you continue [03:16] jadakren: it doesnt work! is there another way? [03:16] rtscts, all it says is ok, and I can't select shit [03:16] oh [03:16] chd: try F8 and enter [03:16] kingrayray, mainly because 1) i dont have one and 2) "it doesn't work" doesnt really say much as a bug report. [03:16] rtscts, k I need to restart [03:17] Is there any way to get a wireless mouse/keyboard combo working on 9.1 or am I going to have to get a separate USB mouse? [03:17] well I mean this camera has been a pain in my back for years under linux. I don't know if its just the uvcvideo driver or what, but im shopping for a new one that *does* just work [03:17] !ldap [03:17] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [03:17] Losha: will it help more if I tell you it does it with 9.10 and 9.04 [03:17] jadakren: floola doesn't repair it when i tell it to, then after says its repaired and its going to quit, it just sits there...i have to force it to quit...and my ipod is still fucked up [03:18] bigtom21485, there might be if my ipod battery didnt die 3 years after i bought my 5th gen, but since im just operating from 5 year old knowledge through someone that doesnt have a good amount of experience with linux and apple products... theres only so much i can suggest. [03:18] kingrayray: when I want ubuntu compatible hardware (always) I go to newegg and check the reviews for things that say they work fine with ubuntu. Sometimes an ebay search will help too... [03:18] anyone know how to enable rts/cts/frag in ubuntu (iwconfig isn't setting it)? [03:19] Losha: yeah that's kinda what I've been doing, was just thinking maybe someone had one that worked well and had a quick reccomendation lol [03:19] bigtom21485, 1) mount the ipod 2) look in the folders for music files. 3) rejoice 4) plug the ipod back in to the windows machine running itunes 5) repair. 6) start over with using banshee or rhythmbox [03:19] poagester: you're saying you can't boot any of 9.10 and 9.04? [03:19] anyone know how to fix an ipod that can't see its own music? [03:19] Losha: that is correct [03:19] kingrayray: bigger sample size with newegg -> more reliable opinions... [03:20] Hello - Anyone installed OSQA on ubuntu driven server??( OSQA: OS question and answers written with Django) [03:20] well I wasn't going to just jump and buy something someone on irc suggested.. obviously [03:20] bigtom21485, maybe try this in wine : http://www.getsharepod.com/download/ [03:20] Losha, I am using ubuntu for both client and server; I am using a blank passkey for the id_rsa.pub key (for simplicity) and it still asks for a pass [03:20] hi, how to properly disable hdd power management? [03:21] poagester: is your cdrom know to work ok in windows (I presume that's how you burned the cds?). Otherwise, if it's not the cdrom, I'd have to guess there's something in your hardware that's incompatible with Ubuntu... [03:21] My Ubuntu is lagging. It has been lagging since i installed it, is there anything i can do about this? [03:21] gbear14275: did you see the youtube link i sended? :P [03:21] brb [03:22] User4434, What do you mean by lagging? [03:22] on asking if it can be tweaked [03:22] acovrig: if it asks for a pass, it's obviously not finding the key, or the server isn't accepting it. Did you try the -e thing? [03:22] Losha: I burned the disks using k3b on my gentoo box, no problems yet with that burner. I am just not familiar with how ubuntu works. the drives in the box i am trying to install ubuntu on are a little sketchy, because the box isn't mine. I just want to dual boot it and get it out of here [03:23] It is slow, it takes everything a while to load [03:23] anyone know how to enable rts/cts/frag in ubuntu (iwconfig isn't setting it)? [03:23] yes Richiie, looks like setting up of a client... nothing special to utorrent [03:23] The internet and everything is okay. But everything else takes time to load. [03:23] rtscts, didn't fuckin work [03:23] google "howto setup bittorrent client" [03:23] poagester: I'd try one more time with 8.04.

[03:31] acovrig: I've never tried it with rsync, but can you add -v to the ssh command part to get verbose debugging? [03:31] ok well I am trying to install ubuntu on my computer. I did the disk check for the CD and the install still failed. [03:31] Losha, let me get this streight, I run `ssh-keygen -t rsa` on client, copy contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to `~./ssh/authorized_keys` on the server, right? [03:31] I'm just gunna run itunes for now do you have any other ideas? [03:31] jadakren: im just gunna run itunes for now on wine...is there a better way to do this?

Can anyone help me with getting a mouse on a wireless mouse/keyboard combo working on 9.1? [03:32] bigtom21485, yes. use rockbox instead of appleod on your ipod. [03:33] bigtom21485, appleOS* [03:33] acovrig: yes, but we know that part is working, because you said you can ssh from client to server without having to give a passphrase or password, right? You could try running ssh -v to see what the debug output looks like in the working case, then try it within rsync and compare the debug traces... [03:33] 9.10* [03:33] jadakren: you mean change the firmware on my ipod? [03:33] graham, You said you did the disk check for the CD. Do you mean you verified your download with md5sum? [03:34] no i did the disk check on the disk itself. the md2sum is too hard. i am no good with CMD [03:34] bigtom21485, yes. rockbox has a windows installer utility. makes it easy. it then means that you just dump music on your ipod like a usb hardrive and dnt need to sync. [03:34] I get no error messages, the mouse simply does not run. The mouse does, however, work in the petitboot startup menu === root is now known as Guest85342 [03:34] syo [03:34] bigtom21485, you can also dualboot with appleOS and rockbox === Guest85342 is now known as Serendipity [03:34] Losha, verbose at http://pastebin.com/18rKVxUu given "dummys" is my local use and "pub" is my server user [03:34] jadakren: dualboot what? i have linux ubuntu [03:35] bigtom21485, im talking about your ipod not your computer. [03:35] also, there were 5 versions to download via torrent. what's with the amd and i386 and desktop and alternative versions?

Now try it with rsync and we'll compare... [03:37] graham, okay. md5sum is a tool to verify that the download completed properly. The various versions are versions that have been tuned/tweaked for different cpus and intended uses. [03:37] bigtom21485, better is relative term. i used rockbox because it meant i didnt have to use sync software to get music on my ipod. i just used the ipod like a harddrive and rockbox lets you browse the drive like a file manager or it can give gnre/artist/album view too... [03:37] Losha, what do u mean, rsync --junk -v>pastebin? [03:37] bigtom21485, http://www.rockbox.org/ [03:37] bigtom21485, http://mikesubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-install-rockbox-and-extras-on.html [03:38] bigtom21485, ignore those wget steps. [03:38] graham, I'd suggest retrying the install, and take note of exactly what the error message is, and then come back and ask. [03:38] acovrig: I mean: `rsync -raz --delete --progress --size-only -e 'ssh -l -v server_user -i /path/to/client/id_rsa.pub/file' "/client/dir/*" user@server.ip:/path/to/server/dir` <-- note the -v flag to ssh [03:38] jadakren: what if i want a copy of my library on my computer in case my ipod is somewhere else or just in case? === flaco is now known as flacom [03:39] Well, I can control the mouse pointer with my keyboard, but that isn't q uite what I want... [03:39] bigtom21485, i did that too... because i had rockbox on the ipod i just used the file manager to move songs across [03:40] bigtom21485, http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/RockboxUtility#Download [03:40] bigtom21485, http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GraphicalInstall [03:41] bigtom21485, sorry should of read this in more detail : http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodPort. your ipod is not supported. [03:41] jadakren: i see...and i tried itunes in wine it cant even finish installing [03:41] jadakren: You seem to know a bit. Do you know how to get mouse working for Ubuntu 9.10 on PS3? It's wireless, but not bluetooth [03:42] bigtom21485, yeah known problem. try restoring it with a windows copy then. [03:42] Losha, http://pastebin.com/Eqhhmm5C [03:42] linuxcreeper, it should just be recognised as a ps2 or usb mouse. [03:42] whats the latest version of itunes to run properly on wine? [03:42] thats for anyone in the room [03:43] anyone good at openoffice calc spreadsheets? [03:43] bigtom21485, 7 i think. [03:43] jadakren: Hm. Well, it's a dual setup, mouse and keyboard off the same wireless connector. The keyboard works fine, but mouse does not === root__ is now known as acovrig2 [03:43] bigtom21485, but the problem is that your ipod has touched version 9 so it wont talk to any other version [03:43] i have a scatter plot with y values that go from 0-100 and x values that go from 0-10. but i'd like to see just the Y values from 60-100 (because the rest is empty.) anyone know how to do that === acovrig2 is now known as acovrig [03:44] jadakren: can i hack the firmware to take it back to where it was? [03:44] s1gmab3ta, Stand by... checking [03:44] linuxcreeper, so : [playstation] =[rf connector] = ||----1 mouse ||-----2 keyboard [03:45] Losha, http://pastebin.com/Eqhhmm5C [03:45] bigtom21485, not sure. thats out of my depth. [03:45] can anyone reccomend a good time lapse program for Ubuntu? [03:45] dsnyders: will you be here for a while? [03:45] jadakren: Yep, that's exactly it [03:45] I need to be able to caputre multipule cams [03:45] acovrig: interesting, see how reading the private key fails at line 33. I wonder if rsync assumes there will always be a passphrase on the key? Nothing to lose at this stage by putting a passphrase on the key I suppose and trying it... [03:46] linuxcreeper, no chance for mouse and keyboard to have their own dongles? (rf connectors aren't very robust) [03:46] jadakren: I saw something on some forums that said to try "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptic" but terminal said no package found. [03:46] jadakren: No, unfortunately. They came in a package this way [03:47] linuxcreeper, it if was me then i would just use a wired usb mouse === graham is now known as casemods [03:47] is anyone has experience install php5.3 using dotdeb repo? [03:47] jadakren: they worked just fine like this on 9.04, but with the upgrade to 9.10 the mouse quit. [03:47] izmanromli, you have a specific need for 5.3 ? [03:47] jadakren: yea, I'm guessing I'm just going to have to. Just need to find one, if there's one lying around somewhere here [03:48] linuxcreeper, what does lsusb tell you ? [03:48] alright i dont have access to a computer with windows...great [03:48] jadakren: i have some team project based on php5.3 [03:48] alright if anyone knows how to repair (or format) an ipod using linux, please tell me [03:48] izmanromli, what is the php5 version in the ubuntu repos ? [03:48] jadakren: it's 5.2 [03:49] izmanromli, ok and 5.3 only comes from dotdeb ? (is it dotdeb and not getdeb?) [03:49] jadakren: yes, the only repo i found is dotdeb.org [03:50] jadakren: when i tried to install libapache2, it always says error fetching packages [03:50] Losha, no change, keys fail with "PEM_read_PrivateKey failed" after asking for my passphrase, but ssh works fine by itself :-/ [03:51] izmanromli, im not sure that repo will work with ubuntu... it only has repos for straight debian [03:51] izmanromli, http://php53.dotdeb.org/dists/ [03:51] jadakren: what were some other programs you might reccommend once i fix my ipod? [03:51] Losha, can I pipe, or something like that for my password? [03:52] jadakren: hmmm, i found this http://www.robsearles.com/2009/10/04/installing-php53-on-ubuntu-jaunty/ [03:52] bigtom21485, well since songbird dropped support for ipods it wont be that... but maybe check out the ppa version of banshee [03:52] jadakren: but it's not working on my machine [03:53] izmanromli, what version of ubuntu are you using (it is assumed that people are using 9.10 if they dont say so) [03:53] bigtom21485: I have an ipod nano 2nd gen and banshee kills it everytime. Rhythembox works though. Atleast that is my experience. [03:53] BoondoKlife, yeah does rhythmbox need a plugin turned on to work with the ipod ? [03:53] jadakren: I can't copy and paste what lsusb tells me, I'm working on a separate laptop here, and I can't select text in the terminal on the PS3 [03:53] jadakren: Yes but it is enabled by default [03:54] linuxcreeper, thats ok, do you see the rf dongle there... does it mention the keyboard and mouse ? [03:54] jadakren: Err installed and enabled [03:54] jadakren: No, it does not. [03:54] jadakren: Jaunty, and the tutor i posted is about jaunty [03:54] BoondoKlife, thought so. bigtom21485 you should check out the ubuntu repo for all the rhythmbox plugins [03:54] jadakren: what were those commands im guessing i just substitue the name banshee instead of songbird in the command lines in the terminal [03:55] alright [03:55] bigtom21485: Just check under the rhythembox prefs and see if it is there first. It should be [03:55] I really wish banshee did work though as i like its interface better. [03:55] dsnyders: any luck? [03:56] oh rythembox has always worked [03:56] s1gmab3ta, Okay, Right click on the axis you want to adjust. Select object properties. There is a scale tab. Everything is defaulted to automatic. Uncheck the automatic and adjust the ranges as desired. [03:56] but i wanna be able to sync with my computer...so i have a backup copy [03:56] * acovrig asleep === acovrig is now known as acovrig_alseep === sunkoo__ is now known as sunkoo [03:57] dsnyders: just out of curiosity where did you get that [03:58] s1gmab3ta, combination of creating a chart in OOCalc, and google search. [03:58] jadakren: If I can find it, would installing the CD that came with the keyboard/mouse possibly help? [03:58] dsnyders: oh alright, just checking. the ooo documentation was no help [03:58] s1gmab3ta, Were you able to get it to work? [03:58] dsnyders: like a charm [03:58] linuxcreeper, does the cd have ubuntu debs on it ? [03:59] jadakren: do you know where i can find php5.3 repo? [03:59] jadakren: That I do not know. It worked automatically with 9.04, so I never bothered with the CD [03:59] izmanromli, no but that page you linked seems to be the way... you didnt say why it didnt work. [04:00] jadakren: I suppose it's worth a shot though [04:00] dsnyders: thanks! [04:00] linuxcreeper, i would start by taking the machine id of the rf dongle and googleing it against karmic [04:00] s1gmab3ta, YW! [04:00] jadakren: it always error fetching when i tried to install libapache2 [04:01] izmanromli, "libapache2-mod-php5" you mean ? [04:01] jadakren: yes [04:01] izmanromli, and the error is ? [04:02] jadakren: error fetching package from dotdeb ... [04:04] izmanromli, have you tried compiling it ? [04:04] izmanromli, i found this which might help you : http://thirdpartycode.com/2009/08/building-php-5-3-packages-on-ubuntu-9-04-jaunty-for-apache-2/ [04:04] jadakren: not yet, i'll try it now ... thx [04:05] izmanromli, cant promise anything 1) i skipped jaunty 2) i dont need php5.3 [04:05] jadakren: why'd you skip jaunty? [04:05] jadakren: that's fine :D [04:06] chelz, becuase i was fine on intrepid [04:06] jadakren: did you upgrade or do a new install? and when did you? [04:07] sometime last year i did a fresh install over intrepid (my home & /var/www is on another partition) [04:07] jadakren: is your /var/www a mountpoint or symlink? [04:08] izmanromli, 5.3 is fairly new ? i cant even find ppa for it [04:08] chelz, i think its a symlink (on my netbook its just on the same partition as / ) [04:09] jadakren: not really ... it has been launched awhile ago [04:09] izmanromli, maybe it will part of lucid then [04:09] what are the most popular file sharing programs for ubuntu? [04:10] jadakren: i guess so, but i never read anything about lucid [04:10] bigtom21485: transmission, frostwire, nicotine, azureus, lanshark [04:10] bigtom21485, LimeWire is available for linux/ubuntu [04:10] o...frostwire is on linux too? === sam__ is now known as buda === buda is now known as budh === budh is now known as budah [04:11] limewire and deluge are my two favorites [04:11] I'm having problems using kompozer to publish my webpage to my web server...anyone have any experience with this? [04:11] transmission sucks, but a lot of people use it [04:11] mcurran, why is that ? [04:11] mcurran: i use ktorrent [04:12] name the file index.html and put it in /var/www/ [04:13] mcurran: I LOVE transmission [04:13] mcurran, if you're talking to Neezer then you'll need to 1) stop assuming they are talking about their own machine being the webserver 2) prefix your messages with their name 3) provide more info [04:13] mcurran, I know I can do that, but I have kompozer on my laptop, and I want to try to ftp it...I'm not sure how to set it up...it is a pain to ssh it over to my server. then use the sudo command once I'm there to put it into /var/www [04:13] Neezer, likewise you'll need to be more specific. [04:14] Neezer, have you tried putting your user in the www-data group ? [04:14] jadakren, thanks...I am using kompozer on my laptop...my server is at home, and I'm away from home for work....it sounds like I should be able to do it with the publish option in kompozer, but i keep getting errors. [04:14] Hi all! Is there an alternative to Audacity? [04:14] jadakren, no. is that on my server or on my laptop? === root__ is now known as anish__ [04:15] Neezer, 1) i would use sshfs to mount the remote folder locally so that protocll issues are removed from the equation. [04:15] Neezer, sorry i was referring to your user on the server [04:15] how do I make sure my ubuntu laptop does not go to sleep when connected to AC, how do I do it by sshing to it? [04:15] how can i install old grub from a karmic live cd ? [04:15] jadakren, protocll? [04:16] Neezer, "protocol" ssh, smb, ftp etc etc deal with permissions in different ways...kompozer might be getting hung up on this [04:16] I can mount my server system on my laptop, and I tried to do that and then just drag and drop, but it gave me permission issues cause it is in /var. Can I just chmod the folder to let me use it too? [04:16] jadakren, *without using sudo [04:17] i guess i configure /etc/default/acpi-support ? [04:17] Neezer, well becuase my home web server is not a production server i can take risks with permissions. so i put myself in the www-data group and chown the whole /var/www to my username [04:18] MrPiracy_: is grub1 already on your disk? if so, grub-install restores it just as usual. if not, you need to get the .deb for grub and dpkg -i it [04:18] axisys_, no. is it having a gnome desktop ? [04:18] is that sudo chown nathan:nathan /var/www? [04:18] jakeriver: why chown /var/www _and_ add yourself to the group? [04:18] Neezer, yes but i dont overwrite the group. so i use : sudo chown jadakren: /var/www/ -R [04:18] jadakren, sorry about not using your name....is that sudo chown nathan:nathan /var/www? [04:18] oops [04:19] Neezer, you still want the group to remain as www-data [04:19] can anyone ping 97.117.115.221? and if you can what about can you get to the "accept key" part on 'ssh 97.117.115.221 -p 443' [04:19] wols_: :) haven't though of the .deb ... thx [04:19] jadakren: i dont have access to gnome desktop from I am sitting.. i need to go close to it for that.. lol .. i think i just modify /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf [04:19] Is there a way to install the new catalyst in Lucid for amd64? [04:19] !Zilnof Wright, John C - Golden Age 03 - The Golden Transcendence - HTM.rar [04:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:20] jadakren, I'm pretty new to this...but i think i get it....the group for /var/www is www-data? and doing nathan:nathan would make it in the nathan group, but just nathan: keeps it in the www-data group? [04:20] jadakren: ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_AC=0 hmm.. this is already set like i wanted [04:20] axisys_, no my question was does the laptop have a gnome desktop? if so you can just use X forwarding in an ssh session to run the gui config app [04:21] jadakren: i guess ipw2200 died caused the screen blank and not want to wake up [04:21] Neezer, correct. [04:21] jadakren: yes it has gnome [04:21] axisys_, ssh user@laptop -Y [04:21] jadakren: in [04:21] axisys_, then run gnome-power-settings [04:22] can anyone tell me how to install thunderbird? [04:22] jadakren: sudo ? [04:22] axisys_, i mean : gnome-power-preferences [04:22] jadakren: cool! thanks [04:22] axisys_, if the options you want are not there... try looking in gconf-editor [04:23] axisys_, i actually suspect you will need to tango with dbus to prevent the screen turning off when power cable is unplugged [04:23] so I have a server with a raid 6 array and the OS on a seperate HDD...that HDD is now failing, so if i pull it out...throw in a new HDD and reinstall ubuntu on it will i be able to recover my raid 6 array? [04:23] or is it only available for non 64 bit so far.. or is it even available for that? I was able to find it here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/2:8.721-0ubuntu1/+build/1568894 [04:23] but not sure how to get that to work [04:24] jadakren: yep, it looks good [04:24] jadakren: not sure why the laptop did not respond.. i had to ssh to it and reboot [04:24] jadakren: guessing the ipw2200 firmware keep dying.. but i still ssh to it .. so that could not be it [04:25] axisys_, is that a wifi card ? [04:25] when I try to install a flash plugin, it says it cannont find package [04:25] casemods, how are you trying to install it ? [04:25] jadakren: builtin intel chip on hp nc6220 laptop [04:25] axisys_, ok not sure what that is but what does the ipw2200 do ? [04:25] jadakren: in firefox, when trying to install adblock plus, it asks for a flash plugin [04:26] casemods, do you have ubufox installed ? [04:26] jadakren: intel wifi driver [04:26] thanks jadakren, working a little better now...i'd still like to get the publish feature of kompozer working. [04:26] can anyone help [04:26] no, I don't know that is jadakren [04:26] ?? [04:26] !help | ubuntu_user_01 [04:26] ubuntu_user_01: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:27] casemods, are you using ubuntu 9.10 ? [04:27] I believe so. [04:27] ubuntu_user_01: i like find the answer too [04:27] jadakren: [04:27] if i have 4 cores with HT do i put -lavdopts threads=4 or -lavdopts threads=8 [04:27] jadakren: he already asked a question [04:27] jadakren: /lastlog ubuntu_user_01 will show [04:28] ubuntu_user_01: if that were zfs raid6 u wound have no issue.. not sure how ext3 or ext4 works [04:29] its JFS raid 6 [04:29] what is better ext or resierfs [04:29] resierfs is dead [04:29] ext4 is the future [04:29] ubuntu_user_01: it is already here.. ext4 that is [04:29] why did people use resierfs then [04:29] ubuntu_user_01: in karmic [04:29] casemods, so you didnt actually specifically try to install flash plugin itself ? [04:30] !flash | casemods [04:30] casemods: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:30] i know its here and its the fs for the future is what i meant lol [04:30] ubuntu_user_01, actually waiting for the revisioned file system to be honest. [04:30] ext4 isn't stable yet [04:30] jadakren: when I went to install adblock plus, it told me I needed a flash plugin to view the site properly and gave me a list of 3 choices. each one tried and failed and told me it was unable to find the file associated with it [04:31] and there's plenty of competitors out there [04:31] is it possible to convert resierfs to extx without losing data? [04:31] casemods, have a read of this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [04:31] so anyone knows if an external jfs raid6 will survive with new linux OS ? [04:31] wols_: can i install grub from apt-get in terminal? i think it would be easier [04:31] that was a question from ubuntu_user_01 [04:32] psycho_oreos, ext4 was declared stable on 21 October 2008 [04:32] and i like to know the answer too [04:32] darolu, and yet it isn't as of ubuntu 9.10 with bugs about large files [04:32] why did some people used reiserfs intead of ext [04:32] casemods, i think im using adobe-flashplugin at the moment (sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin ) [04:33] Headtalk|, the way reiserfs managed files were different to ext [04:33] psycho_oreos, I didn't know that, how large does a file need to be to trigger the bug? [04:33] use xfs or jfs for large files and servers and ext3 or ext4 for your OS [04:33] psycho and was being different , better? [04:33] casemods, you might like to try installing flashplugin-nonfree [04:34] darolu, it was noted in the release notes.. even when I went about installing arch I noticed they documented ext4 is still new [04:34] I am attempting to get to irc.starchat which i've used successfully for years. tonight I'm computer is delivering a note that says " connected" but then it says its "lost connection., Anyone know what might be causing this failure? [04:34] jadakren: it says "could not find package "flash plugin installer" [04:34] casemods, read what i posted above please. [04:34] Headtalk|, it ultimately depends on what you need at the end of the day, reiserfs iirc handles small files better, so if your linux setup was purely as mail daemon for example, reiserfs would boost the performance [04:35] sfstikkun, someone on your lan is hogging the latency with torrents ? [04:35] what is "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" [04:35] jadakren: [04:35] psycho_oreos if that is true, why is saying resierfs is dead [04:35] jadakren...what version of ubuntu u using? [04:35] because resier went to jail [04:36] Headtalk|, its dead because the author is jailed, its offtopic and there's reiser4 which may supercede reiserfs [04:36] casemods, 1) open a terminal : press alt + f2 2) type : gnome-terminal 3) in the new window type : sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:36] author went to jail? wtf [04:36] why did author went to jail [04:36] yea...offtopic reiser is dead for now [04:36] Headtalk|, google for Hans Reiser.. I'm not going to talk about it here [04:36] jadakren: where is terminal? [04:36] !ot [04:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:37] casemods, did you press alt and f2 together ?> [04:37] jadakren go to applications accessories terminal [04:37] ok got it now [04:37] even if author went to jail, why would reserfs die? [04:37] because he was the lead architech and the community fell away after he went to jail [04:37] test [04:37] Headtalk|, no idea but it has nothing to do with ubuntu support. [04:38] jadakren: "E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-nonfree" [04:38] psycho_oreos is that mean ext is better than resierfs for bigger files? [04:38] casemods, what does this reveal : apt-cache search | grep flash [04:39] Headtalk|, google is your friend, I'm not going to talk about it here when its all offtopic [04:39] casemods, sorry i mean apt-cache search flash | grep plugin [04:39] psycho why is it offtopic, we are talking about linux filesystem [04:39] because its not ubuntu support [04:39] period [04:39] ok [04:39] nothing happens jad [04:40] jadakren: [04:40] Jadakrelan, since I don't havea lan, I'm not sure how anyone can be hogging "the latecy with torrents) Whats the next possible solution. [04:41] sfstikkun, check your dns ? make sure that your gateway mac address is really the maccaddress of your gateway and not someone doign a mitm attack [04:41] ubuntu_user_01: you probably want to ask to the mailing list as well.. i am curious if your raid will survive.. [04:41] Thanks [04:42] sfstikkun, maybe reboot the router ... no idea. its a problem that requires lots of debug info i suppose before any realy suggestions can be given [04:42] psycho_oreos, all I found in Ubuntu 9.10 release notes about ext4 is that you have to manually install grub; I also found ext4 limit is 2^32 blocks but that's about it; I ask because I have a Ubuntu server and its HD's FS are ext4, it handles files of ~5GiB sometimes, should I worry about the bug you mentioned? [04:42] how to properly disable hdd power management, or set it to a higher value (ie. 200 instead of 128)? [04:42] casemods, open software sources : system > admin > software sources [04:43] casemods, viewing the "ubuntu software" tab, are the first four tickboxes ticked ? === Spacewolf is now known as Camaro [04:44] darolu, i would def consider moving to a more mature FS such as XFS or JFS [04:45] jadakren: all 4 are ticked, and source code is not [04:45] anyone know how to fix gdm (login) screen fonts. mine are all squares. [][][][] [04:45] using lucid 10.04 beta1 [04:46] casemods, ok open synaptic package manager : system > admin > synaptics package manager [04:46] linshine: go to #ubuntu+1 for lucid/10.04 support [04:46] !lucid | linshine [04:46] linshine: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [04:46] ubuntu_user_01, I used to have XFS but (at the time) I read ext4 had better performance so I tried it, do you know of any documentation regarding the bug psycho_oreos mentioned? [04:46] How to clear squid cache???

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:05] MrPiracy_, the easiest is run some repair cd with the legacy grub, and run grub-install from there [05:05] Quick question, can I get an estimated time/date that Ubuntu 10.04 will be ready?

I'm over 10.04 *already*... [05:07] Hi I have a ubuntu server running on a VPS, now the file system is corrupted and I'm really not used to retreive files from a corrupted fs... I runned fschk and it deleted most of the important files like /etc/init.d and /var/www/ (which is what i'm trying to retreive) is there a guide on how to ressurect files from a ubuntu server (without having access to the physical drive) [05:07] On a side note i would like to know how often corrupted filesystem is occuring? [05:08] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX [05:08] is the simple command : ) [05:08] mobidroid, anywhere from once every 3 days to never [05:08] but the linux partition must be mounted first. [05:08] hello all, I got some thing need to ask guru here. It's about file system. When i use "mc" in console and traverse file system and move to some directory( different with current directory before I use mc). Then click F10 to exit mc but the directory now is not the directory which mc pointing to, that's the directory before I use mc. Anybody know how to keep current directory is the place when I exit "mc" ? Thanks !

[05:56] oildrum: Your timezone is a user thing not a systemwide thing [05:56] this is the most annoying sound issue ever, it only happened after installing 9.10 [05:57] ActionParship: um no the dvd file is on my computer so its not on network share...whenever i try to mount the file onto the movie player that error comes up [05:58] hi m back [05:58] lars_: is it a video dvd or a data dvd with random content on it? [05:59] i am trying to install ubuntu 64bit..i already have 32bit operating..i would like to copy all the propreitory drivers for use in 64bit [06:00] i get error no permission error while copying [06:00] any help [06:00] harish [06:00] harish: that wont work, the drivers are 32bit. you will need to download the 64bit drivers [06:00] i think your gonna have to re-install anything [06:00] ActionParsnip, thanks [06:01] anyone have any suggestions for creating limited user accounts on a server? Dont want the users trying to fork bomb or something. [06:01] how to know if my system if 32 bit? wll 64 bit os install on my 32 bit computer? this 32 bit or 64 bit this is processor or what? [06:01] annihilus: keep their group memberships minimal [06:01] ActionParship: its a video dvd its not pirated or anything got it from the store [06:01] abhi_nav, do you have a 64bit processor? [06:01] Trek: how to know that? [06:02] abhi_nav: uname -a | grep i686 if you get an output its 32bit, if not then its 64bit [06:02] abhi_nav, a 64-bit OS won't work on a 32-bit system; what kind of processor do you have? [06:02] ActionParsnip, yeah i plan to keep their group as users and lock down their /home [06:02] if you dont know, assume you have a 32-bit operating system, it works on everything (almost) [06:02] abhi_nav: that is the architecture of the OS [06:02] darolu: & ActionParsnip: Linux abhi-laptop 2.6.28-18-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:40:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [06:02] annihilus: i believe theres a way to quota cpu usage per user but not sure === basix_ is now known as basix [06:03] darolu: & ActionParsnip: thats the output of uname -a | grep i686 [06:03] Trek: Linux abhi-laptop 2.6.28-18-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:40:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [06:03] abhi_nav, run this in a terminal: lshw | grep width [06:03] abhi_nav: if you run: cat /proc/cpuinfo | head -n 20 you can websearch for your CPU model to see if its 64bit [06:03] abhi_nav, you have 32bit [06:04] abhi_nav: ok your ubuntu install is 32bit, but you can run a 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU (mostly) [06:04] how can i reinstall the grub? i reisnstalled my 9.10 gnome, and now i have no grub....

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [06:06] abhi_nav, seems like you have 64-bit system [06:06] iv seen someone running conky in terminal ? am i mistaken or [06:06] abhi_nav, cupinfo says double core, you def. have 64-bit [06:06] darolu: then should I install 9.10 64 bit? [06:07] abhi_nav, yes [06:07] ActionParsnip: darolu: Trek: is it that 64 systems have less no. of apps or less no. of driver support etc? [06:07] abhi_nav: T5750 is 64bit [06:07] ActionParsnip: hmm [06:08] http://www.mozilla-enigmail.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=674 [06:08] abhi_nav: 64bit is very supported, some companys dont make 64bit but a large majority do (some games only come in 32bit flavour from what ive seen) [06:08] abhi_nav, yes there are more apps for 32-bit systems, but 32-bit apps can run on 64-bits systems [06:08] http://www.mozilla-enigmail.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=674 [06:09] ActionParsnip: darolu: ohh ok. so e.g. If i only have a aps or game of 32 bit then i can easily run it on my 64 bit 9.10? [06:09] abhi_nav, as ActionParsnip said, most apps, libraries and drivers support 64-bit, if you don't run anything out of the common apps you should not have any problem at all. [06:09] abhi_nav: should be fnie yes, you will most likely find that all apps are 64bit available (unless you get real unlucky) [06:09] darolu: ok [06:10] ActionParsnip: ohhhh hmmm :D [06:10] darolu: :D [06:10] budah: I don't think conky runs in a terminal. Most of the info it provides can be displayed via a terminal though... [06:10] theres an awesmoe mech warrior game which is 32bit only ut i managed to get it going using ia32-libs ;) [06:10] abhi_nav, yes it is relatively easy, the most complex procedure I have encounter is to install 32-bit libraries and symbolic-link to them [06:10] darolu: hmm [06:11] abhi_nav, it was simple, I simply installed the 32-bit libraries and told the program where to look for them; it was epsxe (play station emulator) if you are wondering :) [06:11] darolu: hmm :D thank you! [06:12] ActionParsnip: darolu: Trek: Thank you! [06:12] np [06:12] alright i got a command not found when i type in the sudo apt-get install grub2. [06:13] Someone come to the international forum of free software 11.0?

[06:16] harish: if you have an install CD you can add it as a repo and install that way [06:16] harish: or even boot to the liveCD and use gparted there [06:17] ActionParsnip, many thanks, it got installed through terminal [06:17] install grub 2 instead of legacy [06:17] at the master disk [06:18] harish: in ubuntu its rare to actually download apps, most stuff is installed vi the official repos or by adding extra repos [06:19] harish: same with java and flash etc [06:20] ActionParsnip, i am actually trying to install ubtuntu 64bit, i am currently using 32bit [06:20] my system has 64bit processor [06:20] i am not able to do the installation through live usb stick [06:21] chelz suggested to do it through gparted [06:21] how do i do that [06:21] harish: then boot to the install cd, wipe out the 32bit install (after backing up your stuff) and install a clean 64bit OS === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [06:21] i have it on live usb, i changed the boot settings in bios to boot from live usb [06:22] but i am getting "boot error" [06:22] any key i press, it takes me to the existing 32bit [06:22] where is the download location for 9.10 64 bit ? becuase on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt there is amd64 or intel i386. but my processor is intel core 2 duo T5750 2.0GH [06:22] harish: did you MD5 test the ISO you used to make the USB bootable with?

[06:24] but its 32 bit [06:24] i want 64 bit === sim_ is now known as Guest39844 [06:24] abhi_nav: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ [06:25] hello, is swfdec working in ubuntu? [06:25] is there a way to make an existing install back into a livecd? [06:25] so does amd64 includes intel core 2 duo t5750? [06:25] ActionParsnip ^^ [06:26] you'd probably should be looking at x86_64 builds for 64bit [06:27] tehbaut, yes remastersys [06:27] psycho_oreos: lots of confusion with 64 bit. no clear path for 64 bit torrent download :-( [06:27] thanks Rave1 [06:27] abhi_nav, though its not a real necessity imo to have 64bit when i386 should work globally [06:28] Loaded 4.4.1 on 9.10 and at login my entire plasma workspace craShes. Nothing but a black desktop [06:28] tehbaut, YW [06:28] ActionParsnip, i guess, the amd64 bit will work for intel also....it says "core" in the brackets [06:28] abhi_nav: the 64bit torrent is on the page i gave you too [06:28] psycho_oreos: I thought that 64 bit wll be much faster. thats why I am looking for 64 bit.......... [06:28] I used adept to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. Now my computer doesn't boot... it seems the upgrade broke full disk encryption [06:28] harish: yes, amd64 wil will on intel64 too [06:28] does anybody know how to fix this? [06:28] ActionParsnip: yah I found!!! [06:28] Abhi amd and intel distros synonymos [06:29] but i am not able to install it.... [06:29] i burned on my usb [06:29] it is not working through usb stick [06:29] via unetbootin? [06:29] The term is most likely to change from AMD64 to X_64 [06:29] psycho_oreos: yah [06:29] corigo: hmm [06:29] harish: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ [06:30] darolu: yah exactly! [06:30] iv seen someone running conky in terminal can this be done or? [06:30] ActionParsnip, i dont have windows in my system [06:30] corigo, have you discussed this in #kubuntu yet ? [06:30] abhi_nav, well if amd64 doesn't work on your intel 64bit then get x86_64, simple as that [06:30] i just have ubuntu 32bit which i want to replace with 64bit [06:30] i used unetbootin to make the live usb [06:30] Oops, on my droid, and forgot what channel [06:31] psycho_oreos: there is nothing called x86_64 on that download page :-( [06:31] i am becoming extremely frustrated with installing ubuntu. no matter what I do I get the same error. The error is as follows: Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. why? [06:31] Hallo help [06:31] harish, use the USB pendrive creator under System - Admin [06:32] !help | Scotie [06:32] Scotie: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:32] poagester: even with 8.04 ? [06:32] darolu, i will try that now [06:32] abhi_nav, what happened?? [06:32] Losha: yes [06:32] abhi_nav, AMD64 = x86_64, different ways to call the same thing [06:32] I need help correcting the Conexant audio bug [06:32] After upgrade i miss my funtion on the corner of the windows program s [06:32] function [06:33] my speakers are emitting an annoying popping sound which never ceases [06:33] Scotie: do you mean the top bar with the name / close / minimise etc? [06:33] ranjan: firs of all I am confused between 32 or 64 bit ? I want fast speed so thinkin for 64 bit. but then after lots of strugl now I found locatin for 64 bit 9.10 torrent download [06:33] someone a idea [06:33] poagester: you could try unetbootin, I suppose. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ It's supposed to allow a cd-less install... [06:33] ranjan: you have any suggestion for 32 or 64? I want speed [06:33] abhi_nav: 64bit will only give speed in certain cases [06:34] ActionParsnip: only certain means? not always? I want always [06:34] abhi_nav, first of all you should know whether your processor supports 64bit [06:34] ranjan: yes it is [06:34] abhi_nav: for standard desktop stuff there will be no speed increase, if you do lots of music encoding, dvd encoding then it is advantageous [06:34] Loaded 4.4.1 on 9.10 and my plasma workspace is crashing! Nothing but a black desktop [06:34] programs need to 64 bits too [06:34] support [06:34] corigo: i'd ask in #kubuntu [06:34] darolu, i get this error while trying to format the usb stick "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found" [06:34] abhi_nav, ok then go for 64bit..but i dont think a great speed difference will be there [06:34] ranjan: we were just discussing that only. and conclude that my intel centrino core 2 duo T5750 2.0GH is 64 bi [06:34] t [06:35] abhi_nav: 64bit isnt twice as fast [06:35] ActionParsnip: ohh I see [06:35] Losha: the name is a little misleading ;-) [06:35] abhi_nav, ok.. but why you are going for 64bit?? [06:35] ActionParsnip: why? Theoritically it should be naa? [06:35] poagester: I suppose it is... [06:35] ActionParsnip, i get this error error while trying to format usb stick "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found" [06:35] harish, use GParted to format your USB pendrive, if you don't have it install it via software centre or with apt-get install gparted [06:35] abhi_nav: no, its just a larger adressing range for ram [06:35] ranjan: speed [06:35] abhi_nav, do you feel 32 bit is slow...?? is the applications running thats slow are the boot time [06:35] abhi_nav: and larger data registers in the cpu [06:36] ranjan: tooooooooooo slow :-( [06:36] abhi_nav: i think you need to read on what 64bit actually means [06:36] ActionParsnip: ok [06:36] abhi_nav, you are using which version of ubuntu?? [06:36] Losha: so i could take the drive that i want it installed to out of the other box and use unetbootin to install ubuntu on it right === jeffrey_ is now known as jeffesquivel [06:36] abhi_nav: perhaps I should have said more when I told you it would be hardly worth upgrading... [06:36] ActionParsnip: ok I read. where? I google it? [06:36] abhi_nav: its an option [06:36] ranjan: 9.04 32 bit [06:37] Finally done banging my head against the wall getting sound running on my hp dv6 [06:37] then install grub on hd0 [06:37] abhi_nav, with 64-bit system you will use your dual-core processor, right now with 32-bit OS you are wasting a lot of power; is like having a 8-lanes highway with 6 lanes blocked. [06:37] Losha: means? Please tell me more? [06:37] rober, what did you do [06:37] ActionParsnip: hmm [06:37] I am in desperate need of help here [06:37] darolu: :D [06:37] darolu, i have gparted, how do i recognize my usb in gparted [06:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7299632&postcount=60 [06:37] I have a Conexant sound card giving me a popping nose which never ceases [06:37] worked like a charm [06:37] abhi_nav, enabling all 8-lanes won't rise the speed limit, but more cars will be able to run; same thing happens with your system [06:37] drums scared the hell out of me i haven't heard sound in so long [06:38] abhi_nav, ok...just check your system monitor whether its using the full resources... [06:38] /msg ubottu test [06:38] darolu: ohhh ok [06:38] poagester: yes, you could. Or you theoretically install ubuntu onto a disk using a windows box... [06:38] harish, on the top-right corner you can select the device, if it is not listed unplug it and plug it back [06:38] abhi_nav, i heard that there was some bug which used the full processing power on fresh installation [06:39] ranjan: cup1 11% cpu220% memory: 400mb swap: 360 mb (all values approximate) [06:39] roberj13: i uninstall those sounds, very annoying imho [06:39] Losha: I don't always think of the easy ways, thanx [06:39] darolu, i selected the device,how do i format it...there is no format option in gparted? [06:40] darolu, i found it [06:40] poagester: I have made a virtue out of being lazy... [06:40] ActionParsnip, I'm just glad I can finally 'hear' something. I could see how that would get annoying. [06:40] abhi_nav, ok' [06:40] ActionParsnip: ranjan: darolu: ok can I upgrade form 32 bit to 64 bit in future? [06:40] abhi_nav, 64-bit OS doesn't make the system faster per-se, but you get better performance, i.e. I use audio converter apps, with 32-bit it takes 30 secs to convert a ogg to mp3, with 64-bits it takes the same 30 secs... but I can convert 4 songs at the same time vs 1 at at a time with 32-bit os/app :) [06:40] abhi_nav: no, you have to re-install [06:41] ActionParsnip: ok [06:41] harish, yeah just right click on the partition you want to format, remember to click the green mark on top to apply changes [06:41] darolu: hmmm [06:41] Jimmy Page [06:41] darolu, i have done that...thanks [06:41] ActionParsnip: ranjan: darolu: So now I am going for 64 bit. Thank all of you!!! [06:41] abhi_nav: any time [06:41] abhi_nav, ok..great.. [06:42] anybody aware of the HAL removal in Lucid [06:42] hrm, decided for no 64 bit, but can't remember why. Oh well, seems fast enough for now [06:42] i'm afraid i ca'nt allow you to do that ranjan [06:42] hmm [06:42] ranjan, yeah I read about it, I don't know how they are replacing it though [06:43] its taking a long time to build but this might work, I downloaded the latest stable version of ALSA [06:43] darolu, yes..but the booting is really faster.. [06:43] hi [06:43] How do I force close something that is hung up? [06:43] darolu, i tested it and it takes just 12 seconds to boot [06:43] darolu, usb startup disk creator is in the process....i have a question meanwhile [06:43] harish, don't ask to ask a question just ask =) [06:44] roberj13: xkill if its a gui based app, or killall in cli for both daemons and gui apps [06:44] can i replace the 32bit with 64bit staying inside the 32bit [06:44] :) [06:44] roberj13 add force icon to your gnome panel. then if your aps hangs then you click on this icon and then click on hanged aps and then that aps forcefully closed [06:45] harish, no..you cant..coz the whole system will be build for the present architecture whether 64 or 32 [06:45] harish: nope, clean install only i'm afraid [06:45] harish, I don't know of any method to do that; the closer thing I know, is to install a server-kernel, it helps when you have more that 3GB of RAM for example [06:45] Gñardlings [06:45] abhi_nav, that worked, thanks, let's try this again [06:46] roberj13 hmm :) [06:46] In 64 you can run 32 with backports, but not the reverse [06:46] corigo: ahh ok [06:46] can I use the command "grub-install /dev/sda" if the /dev/sda disk has no linux install on it? [06:46] i hope this time the clean install will work from usb === root__ is now known as anish [06:47] harish: as long as the image you dowloaded tested as ok and you mae it right it will work [06:47] yes, it is important to run md5sum check to iso files, always. [06:48] ActionParsnip, i downloaded the image through direct download [06:48] darolu, do i still test it [06:48] i dont know anything about md5sum test [06:48] how do I install grub onto a disk without an ubuntu partition? grub is asking for a device for /boot/grub [06:48] should I put it on the windows partition? [06:49] harish, it is recommended to md5sum check everything, specially OS iso files [06:49] darolu, how do i do that [06:49] harish, open a terminal and run "md5sum " [06:49] darolu, ok [06:49] today I finally broke myself of the windows pacifier and removed it from my computer :) [06:49] harish: doesnt matter, it still neds md5 testing [06:50] roberj13: yay!

[07:30] from ubuntu repository [07:30] why that question? [07:30] tsun, I use XPI installed firebug with abrowser and it work ok (Ubuntu Karmic 64bit) [07:30] .save [07:31] Gñardlings [07:31] tsun, ther may be differencies between packaged and XPI install.

[07:32] my poor radeon 9600 don't let me play 3d games....can someone help ? [07:32] tsun, furthermore XPI installed extension are automatically updated when a new version is available. Apt installed extensions depend on packager maintainer to provide an update [07:32] seb_, that card is no longer supported by ATI :'( I have the same card [07:33] so there is not much we can do [07:33] great leagris, i'll check it out [07:33] txs [07:33] darolu, i know...but i was thinking that a xorg.conf genius could helped me!! :) [07:34] it's also f*cked up that i can't install the package anymore [07:34] tsun it's a known bug which has been fixed in bugzilla 3.2.5.1-1 [07:34] tsun, your best shot is to install it from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 [07:34] but ubuntu has an oldr version [07:34] imo [07:34] hi my wireless stopped working [07:34] so what darolu said [07:34] doesn't show up in the icon on the notification bar [07:34] Berzerker, is your dmesg saying anything?

[07:38] I mean with what tool? [07:39] nine1, open a shell console and type lspci | grep VGA [07:40] how can I remove grub2 from the MBR without destroying the MBR? [07:40] leagris: Thanks. [07:40] leagris do u know how to connect usb modem [07:40] hello everyone [07:40] I use Ubuntu, and I decided to try out xfce (apt-get install xfce-desktop) and decided i didn't like it and uninstalled it, but by main login page when I boot up is still saying "XFCE desktop", how can I cahnge that back? [07:42] Yo yo yo [07:42] cactacaea, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" [07:42] darolu: Thanks [07:42] afsal, never done it myself but what kind of modem is it? DSL/cable/brand, does it show with lsusb? [07:43] should i get a previous version of ubuntu to use the radeon 9600 for 3d gaming? [07:43] i mean, is it a good idea? [07:43] seb_, well technically you only need an old kernel [07:44] Darlou: and an older xorg version maybe? [07:44] true [07:44] yes, how can make that? [07:44] i'm pretty new in ubuntu [07:45] seb_, your best bet is getting a cheap but modern video card. You will get same performance or better with a cheap $30 gfx card [07:45] Seb_: I think jaunty will do it, intrepid dies next month [07:45] and the use of this graphic card is my only "problem" [07:45] seb_, uhmmm I think adding 8.04 repositories could work, and install the old stuff that way [07:45] Seb_: +1 to leargis [07:45] guys im on pirc. where is ubuntu partition manager? [07:46] seb_, I would install 8.04 though [07:46] Kyppc [07:46] yeah action [07:46] i got tired of ubuntu [07:46] You can install the legacy driver (ATI Catalyst 9.3) in Jaunty either [07:46] Thanks for all your advices!! [07:46] seboyan is too limikting [07:46] Berzerker, you tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305906 too?

[07:47] you CAN'T install ATI Legacy driver in Jaunty* [07:47] Kyppcgeek: gparted will run in gnome [07:47] hum... [07:47] k [07:47] tx [07:47] what should i understand? [07:48] seb_, try with 8.04 it is a LTS, I think it is supported until April 2011 [07:48] whats the ubuntu lucid channel? [07:48] I would recommend Linux Mint instead of Saboyan [07:48] Seb_: grab a cheap nvidia card and you will have a super easy life [07:48] #lucid+l I think [07:48] !lucid [07:48] 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 [07:48] Abortd: #ubuntu+1 [07:48] thx [07:49] it's a real dilema [07:49] What's the name of repo for non open ATI drivers? [07:49] So how do I figure out who/what is using UDP port 162 on my machine? [07:49] seb_, what ActionParsnip said is true, nvidia has far better support for Linux [07:49] buying a new card...formatting my hard disk and getting a previous version... [07:49] loquitus, sudo fuser -v -n udp 162 [07:49] Nine1: its in the default repos, the hardware driver app will install the driver if it sees you can use it [07:50] nine1, I don't know of a repo for ATI drivers, but you can use jockey or go to ATI website [07:50] next question. how does one find the UUID? [07:50] leagris: great. that returned nothing, yet my SNMP trap daemon is saying it can't get at 162 [07:50] Seb_: just a new card is all you need [07:50] kyppcgeek, with "sudo blkid" [07:50] Kyppcgeek: sudo blkid [07:50] darolu: It didn't work. [07:51] that's a pity cause, i bought this card 6 months ago in order to replace my (very) old geforce mx 440... [07:51] ActionParsnip: Which app? (name of it) [07:51] loquitus, ports <1024 are only allowed by root or root loaded processes [07:51] I use Ubuntu, and I decided to try out xfce (apt-get install xfce-desktop) and decided i didn't like it and uninstalled it, but by main login page when I boot up is still saying "XFCE desktop", how can I cahnge that back? [07:51] Nine1: gksudo jockey-gtk [07:52] ActionParsnip: What exactly should it do? ;-D [07:52] cactacaea: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm ,may do it [07:52] cactacaea, that's the only way I know, when you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" it asks you what graphical login you want to use ? [07:52] leagris: then something really weird is going on... net-snmp won't open port 162 [07:52] hey i tries 2 run safari 4 via Wine and try to uninstall wine to do over help [07:52] if you have gdm installed that is [07:52] Hey kids at home, try this command: rm -rfv /* [07:52] Nine1: bring up a dialogue to install the driver, its also in the system -> admin menu labelled hardware drivers [07:52] ActionParsnip: thanks for advice, do you have an idea of a AGP card that i could buy for a small price? [07:53] seb_, guess qhat, nvidia publish binary black boxes blobs for linux and they still support these very old cards. Ati did not provide open source drivers until recently and has showed interest in free software only recently. Unfortunately their older cards are abandonware. [07:53] Timberly: My system broke. ._. [07:53] Timberly: Do not post such stuff, also, Ubuntu doesn't allow that [07:53] darolu: it didn't ask me anything [07:53] Timberly, don't try that...

"push" does not seem to be it :/ [07:54] i will look for a geforce6 so!! [07:54] cactacaea, open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" it should run a program that asks you what graphical login you want to use; maybe it uninstalled gdm when you installed xfce? try reinstalling it "sudo apt-get install gdm" [07:54] ActionParsnip, yesterday i ve updated chromium and fonts were realy ugly [07:55] darolu: XFCE uses GDM in Ubuntu [07:55] removed and installed chrome froum google [07:55] will i be able to print with an infred device in ubuntu [07:55] ?

[08:07] Sharetel: its one way [08:07] Losha: apparently, ubuntu installs grub to the first connected disk... I installed ubuntu to a disk via usb, though... so my main disk's MBR got fudged [08:07] seb_, 36,94 € [08:07] I get the following, ActionParsnip: П: Не удалось загрузить http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/universe/i18n/Translation-ru.gz Ошибка чтения, удалённый сервер прервал соединение [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] (W: Could not download... url here... Read error, remote server closed the connection) and then the ip [08:07] 512 should be useless, no? [08:08] Action: One way as in? [08:08] Sharetel: I did it that way, you can also setup cups nice to appear as a proint server and samba won't be needed [08:08] leagris: from wich one did you give the price? [08:08] seb_, depend if you plan on running windows games within wine [08:08] Theadmin: can you ping the server? [08:09] no, i would like to play spring TA [08:09] i guess that i won't use windows any more [08:09] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/399162/ [08:09] in 2 months, i understood the power of linux [08:09] Theadmin: try a different server in software sources, maybe that one is having issues [08:09] Yes, my intention is to install CUPS but am just too confused to understand it...there are two printers..HP2015 and HP2015dn. I would like to try the normal USB printer HP2015. Is it possible to use it on CUPS as a network printer? [08:09] Hey kids at home, try this command: rm -rfv /* [08:10] Losha: that explains why I thought the MBR from one disk got magically copied to another disk, when actually I only cloned two partitions via DD ...it just so happens that I had only recently installed ubuntu, so I didn't boot back into the fudged disk until after I both: installed ubuntu, and cloned those partitions [08:10] ActionParsnip: Give me a sources.list line, i don't have a desktop environment... [08:10] Losha: I just thought I'd fill you in ;) [08:10] seb_, I intensively play Everquest2 within cedega and wine and that takes my 320GTX to its max [08:10] Hey kids at home, try this command: rm -rfv /* [08:11] op?

[08:12] lorenzosu, correct [08:13] elky, ok thanks [08:13] ActionParsnip: Hm, that seems to work. [08:13] do you know spring TA? [08:14] ActionParsnip, indeed I was dissapointed but it is off topic here. I guess wine work nicely beside it has some crash issues in EQ2, but it is realy free software. [08:14] Theadmin: guess the server you were accessing was being messed with. The uk server isn't right now (apparently) so will do you :) [08:14] Now, any idea... i downloaded the anewt thing, but... err... makes no sense what to do next %) [08:14] hello. i found my system wouldn't boot when I got home; I had placed it into hibernation before leaving home. - I've booted off cd and am running fsck right now - but before it kept on dropping me to a shell and complaining it couldn't find the root partition... do i need to worry? - the main linux partition mounted fine when I accessed it after booting from cd [08:14] ActionParsnip: I was downloading from us.archive.ubuntu.com [08:14] Theadmin: well now others folks know to look out :) [08:15] hey hey guys, hey...guys hey [08:15] with an ISO from ubuntu.com, does the repos come with the iso? [08:15] ActionParsnip, here is my Ubuntu box running EQ2: http://www.noiraude.net/videos/eq2linux.ogv [08:15] because I ordered a cd a long time ago, and I could apt-get from that disk, but with just a normal ISO, if you install it to a disk, can you use the repos? [08:15] Cue: repos? Installer generates a sources.list on install, or on Live CD start [08:16] Aprilhare: check your /etc/fstab on the root internal partition and make sure it matches the output of: sudo blkid [08:16] !postfix [08:16] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu.

(I'm only running it every minute as for testing purposes) [08:16] theadmin, well friend needs to get wicd without an internet connection [08:16] to obtain a connection to the internet [08:16] ActionParsnip, correct it manually if not? [08:16] Cue: packages.ubuntu.com [08:17] Aprilhare: sure, backup the current one before also [08:17] jaypetey: Do you really expect it to execute like a program? :/ put "python " before the path [08:17] Leargis: on a phone on not g3 that will take ages, sorry dude [08:17] !MailServer [08:17] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html [08:17] ActionParsnip, anything else or just panic? :) [08:17] jaypetey: your python script is executable and has a corrrrect shebang? [08:18] theadmin, I don't think you get it - it's not me, and he doesn't have connection to the internet, I remember on my old disk I could apt-get from the CD, like I was installed, and not on the internet, but there were some packages on the CD itself. [08:18] Aprilhare: can't think of anyhting else [08:18] Like build-essential and stuff [08:18] ActionParsnip, ;d yes sorry [08:18] Cue: You are thinking of the DVD. [08:18] theadmin, it should execute like a program, since it has the correct shebang, and is marked executable (can run from terminal no problems) [08:18] llutz, yes, it is/does [08:18] Cue: The DVD images contain all of main. [08:18] Cue: There are on DVD, not on CD [08:18] can anyone remember that POP3 also has functionality "POP3 Send"? I remember that the mail client YAM for Amiga used to support POP3 Send [08:18] guys: what do you think about this card ? [08:18] http://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/97813130.htm?ca=11_s [08:19] oh [08:19] Cue: you can use the cd as a repo, there's not as much as the dvd though [08:19] it was superior to SMTP however few clients supported POP3 Send [08:19] theadmin, but i'll give the "python ..." a try [08:19] seb_, are you from france? [08:19] and when you 'order' a copy from ubuntu.com they send you the dvd? [08:19] yes [08:19] seb_: Make sure it's not a 6200TC at least. === Cue is now known as ShazNipples [08:19] jaypetey: Well, crontab messes stuff a lot... [08:19] Cue: Not for the free service. [08:20] theadmin: it doesn't [08:21] theadmin, llutz, if it still doesn't work, do you know what my first step in fixing it would be? [08:21] 29 e is cheap no? [08:21] * aprilhare looks over the POP3 wiki and iscovers a reference to "XTND XMIT" but holds little hope that any Ubuntu compatible client supports such POP3 extensions - does anyone know different? [08:21] jaypetey: its listed with "crontab -l"? [08:21] llutz, yessir [08:22] jaypetey: isn't it started at all or does it just not work as expected? [08:22] jaypetey: And does the user who the crontab belongs to have exec permissions? [08:23] llutz, don't think it's starting (the script is only 3 lines, kind of hard to tell but should work) [08:23] theadmin, the user is me (or this account) which is the same account for the crontab and who created the script [08:23] is there a ctrl+alt+del for shutdown (instead of reboot) when at the grub interface? [08:24] jaypetey: add something like "date >/tmp/scriptcheck" to the beginning of your script to check if it runs [08:25] Almost FUD(Undetected by Most Antivirus) link to httpbotnet with sandbox report and binary -> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QROLABXQ (The Password to the .zip is password) Trying to get this nasty sob report as the nets total count is surpassing 100k+ and no-one seems to want to toutch it.

(or as the user who's logged in when you edit crontab) [08:31] which would mean it is very likely someone might know who i should be talking to [08:31] Cause of the way I do backups, it's easier on the server if i archive my albums before uploading instead of sending a bunch of small requests so i like to read from an archive, i can in windows in foobar2000 [08:31] or where it can be posted [08:31] VEvilz, this is a support channel for directl ubuntu related issues, not a soapbox [08:31] jaypetey: your crontab is run as you, right [08:31] ActionParsnip: dmesg | tails -n 20 shows me onlye that message and nothing more [08:31] xmarux: That sounds like a buggy backup system. [08:31] Xmarux: audio files don't compress well, if you use fileroller or arkiver etc you can tell it to open the file from there [08:32] Hello everyone. I just installed 9.10 and have been having some issues setting up my wireless card. Would anyone mind giving me a hand? I'm using a WMP300N linksys pci card and have followed several tutorials online to no avail.

[08:33] Poent: the make and model is fairly moot, run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see the chip used and can find guides using that [08:34] Eycel: sure you can [08:34] myn wont connect? [08:34] ActionParsnip: it's only a typo on irc - i did it correctly in console [08:34] Eycel: have you given it a driver? === iGoog1e is now known as robinking623 [08:35] well its just plug-play [08:35] how do i give it one? [08:35] Amateja: ok then run: dmesg , and read the last few lines. It should show the kernel reacting to the insert. === root_ is now known as ariza [08:35] Eycel: run: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product line to find guides how to set it up [08:36] Eycel: usb by definition is plug and play [08:36] well its a belkin wireless n [08:36] ...

[08:37] Eycel: belkin don't make the chip in the device so "belkin" doesn't tell us much [08:37] ActionParsnip: dmesg shows me the same - only this message [08:37] Eycel: the command I gave will tell you which chip is used and you can find guides [08:37] ActionParsnip: I'll check up those sites [08:38] ActionParsnip: i've been using the product ID to search already. The driver is installed already with ndiswrapper. When i open up the gui for ndis i get the error "unable to see if hardware is present". [08:38] Eycel: it may be a broadcom or an atheros, those are quite common [08:39] ActionParsnip: but I have this issues even on Kubuntu LiveCD and I think there is something no entirely right [08:39] Amateja: maybe there's a config you need in a conf file, or a package etc. [08:40] i pasted it to u [08:40] Eycel: use a pastebin in future please. Don't pm to spam me like that [08:40] pastebin? [08:40] Eycel: does: sudo iwlist scan ,find APs?

Just backup any files you edit etc so you can roll back [08:42] Amateja: just because you think its old doesn't mean it won't work [08:43] psycho_oreos, i didnt see any that had wireless extensions. Only my onboard eth connections were showing up. If it is missing firmware how do I go about adding it or finding it?

[08:49] hmm [08:49] gimie min [08:49] il do it again [08:49] Cool [08:50] psycho_oreos, I'm not familiar enough with ubuntu to know what you mean. wl means wireless Lan right? [08:50] poent, no no, in this case the wl is the proprietary driver by broadcom for your broadcom wireless device [08:51] !broadcom | poent [08:51] poent: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:52] ok here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/399174/ [08:52] poent, you need to follow this precisely: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43/STA%20hybrib%20drivers [08:52] psycho_oreos, alrighty thanks. I'll give it a try [08:52] is /etc like "Program files" in windows and /home, like "Documents and Settings" ? [08:52] here it is action http://paste.ubuntu.com/399174/ [08:53] psycho_oreos, Do you think i should attempt to remove ndiswrapper and any other driver leftovers before starting this? or should it not matter? [08:53] igoryonya, not exactly, but on the point of /home is somewhat [08:53] Thanks, stupid connection reset [08:53] poent, probably good idea to blacklist it, if not familiar with blacklisting, then I'd remove ndiswrapper [08:53] what is like windows in Windows? [08:53] Eycel: great, its picking up APs so its working :) [08:53] igoryonya, / generally [08:53] will do, thanks again [08:54] poent, np [08:54] Eycel: if you use the network tool in the top right you can connect to your network etc [08:54] iv had it working before, but the last time i attempted it it wouldnt connect [08:54] I am trying to figure out what is the purpose of each folder in Linux. [08:54] Igoryonya: in windows, windows is like windows [08:54] !fhs > igoryonya [08:54] igoryonya, please see my private message [08:55] im not sure if its my network or what [08:55] but it just wont connect [08:55] Igoryonya: I wouldn't worry too much, just get a flavour. It not overly important tbh [08:55] +i [08:55] Eycel: network manager will get you connected, its part of a standard install [08:56] +i [08:56] hi guys. how to determine, which users has been logged in to my machine during my absence ? [08:56] rednammoc: last [08:56] llutz: thx :) [08:56] ActionParsnip: From my experience, of working on coputers, you figure out the file/folder structure, you figure out the computer. Everything else is the matter of logic. [08:57] igoryonya: if you know about the folder-layout, lots of things are easier to understand (permissions etc) [08:58] llutz: that's exactly, what I am saying. [08:58] igoryonya: it's just hard to learn, since it's completly different from DOS/Win [08:59] though it shares similar base with other *nixes [08:59] hi, i have some questions about gparted and general partitioning. How come I have two lots of unpartitioned space and cant join them together? is it correct for my extended partition to be a partitio nlike sda2 and then fo rthe logical drive using all of that extended partition to be sda5? Last, I read that ufs and other filesystems can be created in ubuntu gparted but I do not know how to access, right clicking some free space only allows [09:00] llutz: yes, @ least I've found where my "documents and settings"-like and where all of the "drive-letters"-like are :). /home and /mount [09:00] llutz: that's to start with. [09:00] any one get wireless to work on ubunto live cd? [09:01] eycel, not that I've tried via livecd but I'd imagine its similar to a real install except settings will be lost on reboot [09:01] hi, is there a way to check the battery status in command line? [09:01] and is there a way to get the computer to sleep when we are without server X? or is that a server X feature? [09:01] for the life of me it wont connect [09:01] ... [09:01] it shows all my network stuff [09:01] Fudge, yes this is all correct. Though if you use no more than 4 partition on a disk you may create only primary type partitions. this save some little space and they will be named sdx1 - sdx4 only [09:01] just wont connect [09:01] igoryonya, drive-letters are partial under /mount.. there's also /dev/{h,s}dX [09:01] Is there any way to export the radiance and ambience themes from Lucid thats installed on my netbook to put onto 9.04 installation on my desktop or is there a tar.gz of theme somewhere I can download? [09:01] it always comes up disconnect [09:02] eycel: for me it worked out of the box. My liveCD was 8.10 64bit version, the Cisco WiFi card [09:02] eycel, can you please pastebin your lspci -nnk output or lsusb output into pastebin? [09:02] whats command sudo lspci -nnk? [09:02] leagris thanks, ok so logicals are sda5-, how about the other filesystems to create? [09:02] eycel, well sudo I don't think is needed but yeah, you'll need to execute that in terminal [09:02] Anyone used the Lenovo S10 IdeaPad's ? [09:03] babalu, look at the acpi tools [09:03] leagris: thanks [09:03] hi [09:03] psycho_oreos: /dev/{h,s}dX have unmounted partitions, right? [09:04] igoryonya, fyi if you google "linux filesystem" you'll find a fair few basic info about the differences between windows and linux filesystem structures [09:04] igoryonya: that are the device-nodes representing your drives [09:04] !fhs | igoryonya [09:04] igoryonya: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [09:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/399179/ [09:04] igoryonya, they're mainly block/raw devices, some may be mounted, some may not be mounted, one or few maybe related to root fs and others are generally unattached block devices [09:05] babalu, cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info ... [09:05] although wireless here has been some what shooty [09:05] .... [09:05] eycel, "lspci -nnk" (without quotes) [09:06] Anyone here know how to make the git kernel source into a PPA source package? [09:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/399180/ [09:07] would anyone know an easy way to boot multipul os from a usb. say puppylinux, ubuntu, etc. [09:07] leagris: which line should i look at? [09:08] psycho_oreos: I've found a linux filesystem howto on the net, it's just about 100 pages long, I started reading, it. It just will take a while before I finish reading it. I was just running ahead, asking questions here, because I wanted to know the most needed directories for me, so, I already clicked on the link, presented by ubottu to see what it says. [09:08] eycel, I gather this is USB wireless device? [09:08] yes wireless n belkin [09:08] on an alienware laptop [09:09] eycel, ahh belkin, it'll go back to the first pastebin, gotcha.. now I'm going to search [09:09] hello every body today i installed electric sheep on ubuntu 9.10 and also i have managed an copy of sheep from my friend .. so can any body can tell me in which folder should i Place this ship so that it can work normally .. thanks in advance [09:09] heh iv searched [09:09] ... [09:09] babalu, better at /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state [09:09] wiresles netowrk disconnect every time [09:09] leagris: ok thanks === mienard is now known as prokops [09:10] it could be a number of things, my networks wireless just isnt worth a shit, 9.10 ubunto, cause iv goton it working wiht ealier versions, or something else [09:10] eycel, and your interface is wlan0? [09:11] i think leme check [09:11] im pritty sure [09:11] it picks up [09:11] like neibors [09:11] hello [09:11] eycel, one of the potential issue is that your device is 802.11n capable, which the driver is a little immature under linux.. that's part of the issue, the other part is that ubuntu 9.10, due to the release is bound to a somewhat old kernel which limits if not inhibits the use of such device [09:11] signals and stuff [09:12] hi [09:12] i'm new there [09:12] im not using n though, g [09:12] ... [09:12] and its worked before [09:12] ... [09:12] so... [09:12] eycel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:12] and dont much speak engles [09:13] david_ which is your language? [09:13] eycel, its not that, the chipset is 802.11n capable which the code is different from 802.11g base.. its pretty much a completely different chipset/driver [09:13] david_, check if there are #ubuntu-language channel for your native language [09:13] eycel, I suppose if and when it disconnects I'd check dmesg for reasons why [09:13] well it wont connect atal [09:14] ... [09:14] but if it brings up singnals and everything, whats keeping it from connecting [09:14] hi is there an easy way for me to boot multipul os from my usb drive. [09:14] eycel, hmm dmesg may show reasons why, it might be missing firmware [09:14] everything seems in order besides the conection [09:14] ... [09:15] meowbuntu: partition usb in more than one partition and then each partition keep different os using unetbootin [09:15] eycel, pastebin your dmesg output [09:15] meowbuntu, may be installing grub on the usb disk. You should search the web about that as it may require some understanding of grub bootloader [09:15] okis [09:16] meowbuntu: there is, i'm using a stick with 5 diffrent live-os on it. just let me search a hwoto [09:16] it just brongs up some temperature stuff http://paste.ubuntu.com/399184/ [09:16] Hello all does some one can help to install Maya 2010? [09:17] Hi, is it possible to share a USB printer as a network printer via CUPS? [09:17] a shame there is no PXE boot with wireless. I would have enhoyed providing free live ubuntu over the air to my neighbours :) [09:17] eycel, doesn't seem like the complete output of dmesg or it seems like all the previous info has been overwritten by these temperature marks [09:18] leagris, yea i know about grub not much about grub 2 though. [09:19] abhi_nav, if i do that then windozzy cant read all the partitions thats not a good idea. [09:19] i retire [09:19] glad to meet we [09:20] meowbuntu: blog.p-mt.net/archives/644 german but important parts should be clear [09:20] meowbuntu: take that windows thing and take one cup water and dispose in it :-( [09:20] fanks llutz [09:20] arg not german [09:20] goes requestiong lalalala then disconnect [09:20] lol [09:20] mwowbuntu: you mean thans llutz? [09:20] mwowbuntu: you mean thanx llutz? [09:21] i disconnected [09:21] llutz, thats not a website is it [09:21] eycel: no you are here [09:21] whats supose to me in the dmesg [09:21] ? [09:21] Hey guys anyone know where I can find a driver for my Wireless PCI adaptor? NetGear WG311 - I have a Windows CD with drivers if that helps. [09:22] meowbuntu: http://blog.p-mt.net/archives/644 [09:22] Duke_, is the device plugged in? === leagris is now known as Pillowtester [09:22] ah thanks [09:22] eycel, hmm can you pastebin your lsmod output? [09:22] 6 llutz [09:22] k [09:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/399185/ [09:23] * Pillowtester is away: busy sleeping [09:23] psycho_oreos, yes, it is one of those ones that goes inside my computer case. Plugged directly into one of the PCI slots on my motherboard. [09:24] llutz, one thing can i use other os not mentioned on the site [09:24] i dont get it belkin is very universal its in every store imaginable, [09:24] actionparsnip: there is a partition /dev/sda3 mentioned by sudo blkid but not by fstab. add it to fstab? [09:24] Duke_, I know how it gets connected/plugged in.. I'm saying is the device actually inside or not.. so if it is pastebin your lspci -nnk output [09:24] meowbuntu: you can, just look how they use grub to start the iso [09:25] erm [09:25] meowbuntu: may not work with all, but it's worth to try [09:26] llutz, ok so basically after i have the download i just copy it to my flash drive right [09:26] eycel, the problem is that its not the product name that's the issue, its the vendor in which this case yours is Ralink RT2870 or Ralink being a little picky because linux, unlike windows mainly requires 3rd party devs to create drivers for it or otherwise you have to use vendor driver which can be rare depending on which vendor its actually from [09:26] and edit it as written in the script [09:26] ^ llutz [09:26] meowbuntu: read the site, look at the shown grub.cfg. it has to be edited to your needs [09:26] sorry psycho_oreos. Just trying to explain that it's not one of those laptop ones. http://paste.ubuntu.com/399187/ [09:27] llutz, i cant understand german [09:27] meowbuntu: i haven't used his script, just used the grub55.cfg as example [09:27] o i c [09:27] Duke_, those are more like pcmcia/cardbus [09:27] but if thats the case why is it even idetifiying itself [09:27] wouldnt it just not work atal [09:27] Duke_, I meant "lspci -nnk" (without quotes) [09:28] i remember from grub how to edit that but grub 2 is totally different [09:28] who can desinstal a program on ubuntu? [09:28] eycel, its identified itself is partially because there is an entry in the pci:id database and the other is that there is a driver in which recognises the pci:id and hence was loaded.. but those are part of the complete picture [09:28] llutz, do i just copy the file to my usb. ????? [09:29] david_, depends on how its installed [09:29] meowbuntu: the green lines at start prepare your usb-stick with grub2 [09:29] meowbuntu: that part is important [09:29] its usb not pci [09:29] psycho_oreos There we go, http://paste.ubuntu.com/399190/ [09:29] but i understand [09:30] meowbuntu: further down, just before the grub-screens being shown, there is a link to "grub055.cfg", download it [09:30] llutz, i dont know if its that foward s i confused by german [09:30] psycho and where the find? [09:30] so can i like download something [09:30] ... [09:30] eycel, yes there'd be a database for all that.. hence that's why you get Belkin Components from that lsusb output as opposed to the bare 050d:815c [09:30] already did its actually near the top of page in english [09:31] ^ llutz [09:31] eycel, hmm right now the best idea is to try and reload the driver, because your dmesg is all overwritten with temperature stuff which is kinda useless [09:31] ok il brb === andrea is now known as Guest64363 [09:32] Duke_, eww marvell wireless.. umm you'll need your driver disc for starters and ndiswrapper [09:32] meowbuntu: try the srcipt, maybe it works [09:32] llutz, is that not grub 1.9.7. if i install as he says it will put frub 2 on my flshdrive now [09:32] psycho_oreos i install from terminal [09:32] meowbuntu: grub2 == grub-1.9x [09:33] different grub version. grub 2 is different than grub 1 [09:33] o i c [09:33] david_, would help if you could tell me what command you used [09:33] grub1 == grub0.9.x === traveller__ is now known as traveller [09:34] psycho_oreos : sudo aptitude install [09:34] llutz, y do i need to download grub 2 again ubuntu already has it installed. [09:34] meowbuntu: nope [09:34] david_, then I'd use sudo aptitude remove [09:35] woow thank you so much [09:35] llutz, then how do i st up grub 2 on usb [09:35] if i follow his instructions it will install grub on my os again [09:35] david_, np [09:35] meowbuntu: then you have to alter his script or do it manually [09:36] llutz how do i get it on my usb [09:36] download it right [09:36] meowbuntu: whats your usb-device? [09:37] psycho_oreos: What is np? [09:37] 20gug usb hdd [09:37] david_, no problems [09:37] meowbuntu: /dev/sdXY <- [09:38] llutz, http://www.newsmy.com/en/products_show.asp?ArticleID=395 [09:38] meowbuntu: /dev/sdXY <-? device not brand/type [09:38] woow [09:38] ^^ 20gug usb hdd [09:39] meowbuntu: what /dev/sdXY your usb-device? /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc [09:39] ^ llutz [09:39] or whatever [09:39] ah sorry missed that [09:39] hold on [09:39] arg whats the terminal command [09:39] meowbuntu: try "fdisk -l" to list [09:39] sudo fdisk -l [09:40] meowbuntu: this howto uses an usb-thumb, so it asumes only 1 vfat-partition on the device [09:41] llutz, fdisk -l blank [09:41] meowbuntu: sudo fdisk -l [09:42] j #andromnia [09:42] llutz, i will only use 1 partition on my 20gig [09:43] llutz, /dev/sdb1 [09:43] llutz, hold on need to format [09:43] meowbuntu: so it has to be vfat [09:44] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c is headlined: "thinkpad_acpi.c - ThinkPad ACPI Extras". What does 'Extras' mean here? [09:44] léa? [09:44] meowbuntu: sudo mkfs.vfat -n MultiUSB /dev/sdb1 [09:44] meowbuntu: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [09:45] llutz, slow down i am gparted format hdd [09:46] Are you guys aware of a stable proxy in UK? [09:46] llutz, is vfat fat 32 or fat 16 [09:47] hi [09:47] meowbuntu: fat32 ; after mounting: sudo grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb === root is now known as Guest30984 [09:47] hi [09:47] that installs grub from where [09:47] ^ llutz [09:48] meowbuntu: installs grub2 on the usb-device [09:48] llutz, can i pm you [09:49] its the same thing [09:49] ... [09:49] how do i toggle my screensaver? [09:49] ori, Toggle how? [09:50] xiong: someone once told me of a keyboard shortcut that disables the screen saver [09:50] ori, Can you find 'Screensaver Preferences'? [09:50] Ah. Hotkey I don't know, sorry. [09:50] xiong: yeah, but i want to disable it often, so a shortcut would save time [09:50] I notice that hotcorner support has been dropped, BTW. Anybody know why? [09:51] pew pew [09:53] hi i am trying to install grub to my 20gig usb hdd. i get this error. grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it. [09:53] what can i do [09:54] meowbuntu, That is not much space for any sort of full install but it seems pretty large for a thumb drive. [09:54] Not huge but big enough. [09:54] xiong, ist not vor a full install [09:55] psycho_oreos - I have the Windows driver disc and ndiswrapper. [09:55] its for a multiboot iso i need to copy grub to my usb hdd [09:55] ^ xiong, [09:55] hi all i have two ubuntu boxes, one running on my desktop one in the cloud in EC2, i can easily talk from my desktop to my server (e.g. with SSH), but im unsure the best way to send a command from my server to my desktop, is it possible? [09:56] xiong, i'm folling this http://blog.p-mt.net/archives/644 [09:57] eycel, lol I meant you need to pastebin me your dmesg output before it gets all overwritten with temperature stuff, which version are you using? [09:57] Duke_, just to be sure, you said you're using wg311 but you have one of those laptop cards.. so effectively its actually wg511v2? [09:58] Sorry, meowbuntu, I don't read that language. But I smell an issue here if you are trying to install all those OSs on one stick. [09:58] psycho_oreos - it's not a laptop card, I have a desktop. It says WG311 on the box that the card came in. [09:58] Duke_, ahh [10:00] xim_, y is that [10:00] ^ xiong [10:00] Duke_, with driver disc available I'd follow step 3 of the guide (you just simply need to navigate into the same path for the inf file from your driver disc): http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/ [10:01] xiong, there in no problems in doing it heaps of people do it [10:01] * psycho_oreos thinks its not related to ubuntu for that matter [10:01] Yikes! FF crashed. [10:01] * xiong gets busy awhile [10:01] xiong, also i dont read german either [10:02] helli [10:02] hello [10:02] anybody here? [10:02] !hi | Doroff [10:02] Doroff: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [10:02] psycho_oreos Hi! [10:03] meowbuntu, its offtopic but I'll give you a hint: grub4dos [10:03] I've done it before [10:03] psycho_oreos man, do you know that does the ubuntu work at Atom processors? [10:03] Doroff, well ubuntu normally does, but if you're looking for lean versions I'd suggest ubuntu netbook remix [10:04] psycho_oreos is my CD drive going to be /media/cdrom/ or /media/cdrom0/? they both look the same [10:05] Duke_: normally one of them is a symbolic link to the other anyway [10:05] I have motherboard motherboard 45cs [10:05] not sure if it's appropriate to ask development questions here [10:05] I'm writing a Ubuntu app and I need to spawn a new process [10:05] Duke_, it'll be either one that will suffice, I think /media/cdrom/ is just a symbolic link to /media/cdrom0 [10:05] I'm using system() but it doesn't seem to take my command-line args [10:05] and Atom processor on it. [10:05] wondering if I should be using some other API [10:06] Doroff, like I said, if you want a lean ubuntu version I'd suggest ubuntu netbook remix [10:06] network manager has started asking for authentication (password) on boot, it never used to. What's changed and can I fix this? to. [10:06] psycho_oreos I need ubuntu for i-net cafe ) === Quan-Time_ is now known as Quan-Time [10:07] Duke_: You can find out if you type "ls -l /media/" in the command line. normally it should show something like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Feb 24 2009 cdrom -> cdrom0 [10:07] Doroff, ahh that I wouldn't know [10:08] ror: did you change any autostart settings? [10:09] ah nm... I guess I need to quote the whole command string [10:09] no, it always auto-started before, it just never needed my password for keyring access before [10:09] psycho_oreos )) i have a program for it, some good people make zedcafe (linux with that program - http://linux.blogs.ie/downloads/). But this Linux don't install for my PC. : (( I won't to try netbook fersion. When I can download them? [10:10] Time to try find information about tweaking for SSD's (if still necessary, unless somehow 9.10 detects and adapts accordingly) [10:11] psycho_oreos I only had one .inf file in the entire CD, and it was autorun.inf. So I tried that, and it didn't work - http://paste.ubuntu.com/399206/. Should I use the instructions on the website to download the driver off the internet? [10:11] ror: check your startup-applications and see if gnome-keyring-daemon is still there. [10:11] how i access to the boot loader of windows? [10:11] miraculix, it's there [10:11] Doroff, this seems like a bootable disc with its own OS on its own, its not really part of ubuntu and shouldn't be asked in here for support [10:12] Duke_, hmm I'd give that a try, but don't hold my breath on it, someone had issues with the drivers after following that guide [10:12] accessing boot loader depends on the motherboard doesn't it? [10:12] or am I thinking about the wrong thing [10:13] Doroff, zencafe is slackware based. You might have better luck in ##slackware [10:13] boot loader is usually stored in the mbr and usually on the hard disk or SSD in your case [10:14] kaolbrec thanks [10:14] perhaps I read the question wrong, and was thinking of just getting the actual menu to show up [10:14] ror: sounds indeed strange. I'll look into it, I had a similar problem a while back. [10:14] zorge, which version of ubuntu? [10:14] I am currently running 9.10 since its not beta [10:15] should I just add nm-applet to my sudo list? [10:15] Haven't found any solid info on SSD tweaks yet [10:15] zorge, hmm I wouldn't know how to access the grub 2.0 menu.. on grub 1 it is Esc button that would trigger boot menu but you can check !grub2 [10:16] ror: I wouldn't recommend that for security reasons, since it should work normally in userspace with the keyring [10:17] miraculix: ok; I'll try at some time restarting nm-applet to see if it asks every time or perhaps it's launching before the keyring the first time? === root_ is now known as anish [10:18] ror: do you have a different password for your keyring than your user account? [10:23] Here is what I've rufly found from linux directory structure description: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/399212/ [10:23] Linux <-> DOS/Windows directory "equivalents" [10:26] miraculix, no, same password [10:27] igoryonya /dev isn't correct, /dev doesn't contain any drivers its something like Device Manager in Windows, drivers in Linux are in the kernel boot files [10:28] Sensiva: so, drivers are in /boot? [10:28] igoryonya its embbeded in vmlinuz and initrd.gz which are located in /boot [10:29] heya [10:29] i have a strange bug with my ubuntu 9.10 ... it does not accept router advertisements but a link local ipv6 address is assigned to the interface [10:30] Do you guys know which python library will be able to be used to create kickstart files? I need to write something in Python to do this.

[10:48] tarzeau, cool [10:48] did Microshit stopped the support of this protocol from other OS ? [10:51] Hi! I want to run a gdm/X desktop session on a "remote" machine and have it always displayed to a X server (say VT-9) running on a "local" machine (both machines on a secure/virtual network.) What is the best configuration for this to work? How do I use gdmsetup on the remote and local machines to set this up? Can I do it without involving chooser? [10:53] hi! anyone know how to disable password after computer has been suspended in karmic? I removed everything in gconf-editor -> apps -> gnome-power-manager -> lock , but it still does ask for password after suspend [10:53] I've installed Ubuntu from the "alternate" CD, and it looks like it didn't install anything at all. It booted to a commandline login, and dpkg -l shows 351 packages installed. How do I go about installing everything? (development tools, printing tools, desktop, etc.) [10:53] wajs, configure gdm to stop prompting for the password [10:54] dyek: can you use an ssh tunnel with xserver active? something like ssh -CY (so you also have compression)? [10:55] setuid: You might want to try one of the desktop suites like gnome, kde or xfce [10:56] Arabus, Right, but what package do I install to get everything? And what about the development tools/libraries/headers/etc.? [10:56] setuid: try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [10:57] ct529: ssh tunnel would be fine, but I don't need ssh tunnel, because the network is a virtual bridge. I am trying to figure out the rest of the logistic. [10:57] theadmin, Ok, that adds 942 additional packages... I wonder why the alternate CD didn't actually install any of this [10:58] dyek: so you want to have the desktop automatically set to the remote machine when you login? [10:58] Before I ask, this is not termed deframent my ubuntu... but rather data consolidation... Is there atool that lets you pick which directorys sit at the beginning of the disk? i.e. if I want /boot/ at the beginning (the fast sectors) is there atool? or should I just use parted to make 0-100MB /boot/ and have it as partition1 ? [10:59] Lord-Readman: Yes, it's a good idea to get /boot to a separate partition for such purposes [11:00] but is there a tool for if I want /home/downloads/ on a faster part of the disk than say /home/documents/ [11:00] hello all, pls i cant view videos frm youtube anymore frm my mozilla build of firefox, any clues pls? [11:00] Lord-Readman, That's what I do [11:00] Lord-Readman, Though, I put swap at the front [11:00] ct529: Yes (I think.) Basically, instead of using VNC, etc. I want the remote client machine to display to a real X server at a VT. [11:00] Lord-Readman: use readahead profiling http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254263 http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Readahead [11:00] I was going to put swap at the front but having 5GB in use at the beginning seamed a waste [11:01] * albondie is away: I'm busy [11:01] Lord-Readman: sounds a good idea to have tha swap on the central cilinders if you do a lot of swapping. If you do not, then it is a bit of a waste. Depends on your use. [11:01] Lord-Readman: and on disk performance as well .... [11:02] Lord-Readman, The files/data space you use the most, should be at the center of the spindle... swap is probably best. /boot is only ever used once, at machine startup... dont' put boot there. [11:02] So an easy approach would be to have /boot/ at the begining then my main ext4 then swap ? [11:02] if one does a lot of swapping, he should consider buying more RAM not to move swap-partition [11:02] my swap is never used [11:02] ct529: Maybe something like: "/usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -nolisten tcp vt9" will work as the local machine configuration, but I suppose that should be managed by gdm? [11:02] Lord-Readman, If you're looking for disk performance, look into hdparm/sdparm, and disable journaling (or use XFS, it screams!) [11:02] Anyone found why update-grub segfaults when boot is on an LVM partition? [11:02] Lord-Readman, Linux _runs_ from swap [11:02] boot time is too fast to bother hybernating [11:03] setuid: b....it [11:03] setuid: lolwut? I have no swap [11:03] Lord-Readman, Because closing/re-opening apps sucks [11:03] theadmin, That's stupid... I can easily bring a machine down when it's configured wihtout swap. I've completely hung a machine with 8gb ram, 4 core, because it had no swap. [11:03] just do a 'make -j' for gcc, and watch it die [11:04] setuid: "-j"? [11:04] You NEED swap, at least 1 page, to allow the machine to page ram and age it to disk [11:04] Without it, you can easily cause a machine to crash/lock, 100% reproducible. [11:04] setuid: :(){ :|: &};: ? [11:04] theadmin: stop that! [11:04] llutz: Sorry [11:05] isn't -j2 the amount of processes to use for compiling? [11:05] good to set to your processor core amount? [11:05] llutz: Only meant to say that any machine can be frozen... with a simple forkbomb [11:05] jobs, not processes [11:05] yeah, sorry [11:05] theadmin, I'm not talking about fork bombs, I'm talking about consuming all the resources, causing the machine to stop. With swap, this doesn't happen. [11:05] llutz, do you hve a puppylinux grub loader for the usb boot we talking about before [11:06] tho I've noticed when compiling programs like xbmc with kazillion files, using a lot of jobs makes it faster since compiling isn't processorheavy [11:06] meowbuntu: needs some extra things, i have it at home. i can show you later this afternoon if you like [11:06] via_rhine module has an already filed but quite old resume bug. I just don't know if I should add to the old and incomplete report, contact module maintainer or what else to do in order to have it fixed. [11:06] setuid: I never used out all my resources, everything works. And i'm not gonna repartition now because you tell me... stuff [11:07] Hi - I've got a 9.10 machine that does DHCP, and NFS mounts /home. This works - but now that I changed the machine to a fixed IP, it doesn't complete booting, complaining that it cannot mount /home. The IP address hasn't changed. Sometimes the boot still does complete, which is even stranger.. any suggestions? [11:07] And now it dropped me into the maintenance shell [11:07] nfs is lovely [11:07] Peanut: fsck that /home part [11:07] theadmin: if you really need swap, just create a swap-file. no need to waste a partition-entry if you donot use hibernation [11:07] dont mount it on boot via fstab [11:07] theadmin, Your nick doesn't bely your understanding of Linux or these technologies. Use whatever works, just realize it's a dead end, and you're wrong. [11:07] Look it up. [11:07] theadmin: /home is on NFS, can't fsck that. [11:08] red: how can I then get it automatically mounted if it isn't in fstab? [11:08] setuid: I don't say i'm right. I know i need swap. Just i have a ridiculously small hard drive and have to keep Windows AND Linux on it [11:08] there was an app for that [11:08] argh, whats the name [11:08] pls i cant view videos frm youtube anymore frm my mozilla build of firefox, any clues pls? [11:08] been ages since i last used nfs, reverted to samba for less problems [11:08] theadmin, Sparing 512M for swap wouldn't kill you [11:08] theadmin, But it can certainly save you if you run out of resources [11:09] Even 256M or 128M would help considerably vs. 0 swap [11:09] #!haecksen [11:09] red: there's not a windows machine anywhere near, would be a bit strange to start using Samba. [11:09] setuid: Well, allright, i'll look into it after getting back to my Linux machine [11:09] ddavids: you can try to reinstall the flashplugin. [11:09] hey guys. is there a way i can get aptitude or apt-get to give a colored output? [11:09] Peanut: I don't have any windows machines myself either, tho a friend sometimes uses a Win 7 laptop at my place BUT.. if and when samba is in fstab, failing to mount has a timeout, so it's easier to setup on multiplec machines. [11:09] how pls? [11:09] Peanut: then I just run a sudo mount -a if it didn't mount on boot [11:10] ddavids: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer [11:10] it also won't cause system hangups [11:10] ddavids https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash?action=show&redirect=Flash#Ubuntu%209.04%20%28Jaunty%20Jackalope%29%20and%209.10%20%28Karmic%20Koala%29 [11:10] red: err, this is a cluster with 16 machines, 128 cores - "type mount by hand" will probably not do as a solution :-) [11:10] whoops [11:10] !flash === ech0net is now known as ech0dish [11:10] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [11:11] thanks all [11:11] Peanut: aye, let me see if i can find the app i was talking about [11:12] guys, what application do i need to install if i want to access MS SQL Server for SQL administration? thanks! [11:12] I have a large video I'd like to transfer in smaller pieces, any software that can automatically do that? [11:13] kiaas: zip it in parts [11:13] red, I'd prefer to have the peices individually viewable [11:13] kiaas: maybe you can use ffmpeg then to re-encode [11:13] guys, is there like a mysqladmin for MS SQL server? [11:14] gharz: Not that I know of. [11:14] kiaas: ah, then you have to just split it [11:14] pls wht is the differenc btw auto lo: iface lo inet loopback and auto eth0: iface eth0 inet dhcp? [11:14] Accessing MSSQL directly from Linux is pretty painful [11:15] realistically your best option is to RDP to a Windows box (or use a VM) to run Management Studio [11:15] ddavids: the lo interface is your loopback interface (127.0.0.1), the other entry specifies that your eth0 network interface will get its IP address via DHCP. [11:16] im finding it difficult to connect to an internet modem today...but i have used same in the past on my karmic desktop system... [11:16] how do i enable menubar in dolphin?ive turned it off by mistake [11:17] ddavids: could you give a more detailed problem description than "I find it difficult to connect today"? :-) [11:17] Peanut: thanks, does that mean my modem wont connect cos it doesnt have similar values to the 127.0.0.1 interface? [11:17] ddavids: no, this looks perfectly correct - that file is probably not the cause of your problems, especially if you didn't change anything in it. [11:19] Peanut: but i cant seem to connect this modem cos its interface is 77.245.65.xxx [11:19] i seem to have lost my systray in panel [11:19] whats the app called? [11:19] i do havee the logout button and indicator applet with bluetooth volume etc visible [11:19] but not application icons like etherpad etc [11:19] dropbox* [11:19] ddavids: is that the address of your network interface, or the address of your modem? Does your modem even have an address? Do you want to 'connect to the modem', or only connect through the modem to the internet? [11:19] Peanut: i have been trying now but it just doenst connect... [11:20] Does X server query require chooser? "X -query :2" [11:20] Peanut: tht is the IP address when it does connect, i use it for my internet... [11:21] hey all, i want to report bug on the sound manager program [11:21] how can i do that with ubuntu-bug ? [11:21] whats it the name of the package? [11:22] Peanut: i wld like to connect thru the modem to the internet... [11:22] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c is headlined: "thinkpad_acpi.c - ThinkPad ACPI Extras". What does 'Extras' mean here? [11:22] whats the linux version of the binary copy facilite on windows [11:22] cp /b *.mp3 > allthesongsinone.mp3 === geniv_ is now known as geniv [11:23] ddavids: Ok, and does it currently not get an IP address anymore, where this used to work in the past? [11:24] what is the encoding of the file output by openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 1024 ? i've tried with a base64 decoder, but it doesn't seem to be the one [11:24] can someone help me get pastebinit working? [11:24] Peanut: excatly [11:24] it doesnt get IP anymore and thus says disconnected.. [11:25] sine`: cat *.mp3 > allthesongsinone.mp3 [11:25] ok thanks [11:25] ddavids: does it work if you use another computer or OS? Is the problem limited to Ubuntu? [11:26] Peanut: its the same probelm on windows too.. [11:26] whats the package name of sound preferences in ubuntu 9.10? [11:26] ddavids: then it is not an Ubuntu problem, but a problem with your modem or ISP. Please talk to your ISP about this, it is very unlikely that we in #ubuntu can help you with this. [11:26] Peanut: mosttimes, ubuntu is able to connect but wondows cant connect 98% of the time [11:26] anyone use pastebinit here? [11:27] been dealing with this for days [11:27] m trying to member:grep multiple files in several subdirs using find ./ -name *.php | member:grep 'myword' [11:27] Peanut: thanks [11:27] netshine : ithink the one you want is pavumeter [11:27] hahaha, what I meant to say is Im trying to grep for a word in several php-files in several subdirs [11:28] kanzie: grep -R word directory/ [11:28] hi [11:29] kanzie: even better grep -ir 'word' directory so you correct for lowercase/uppercase typos .... ;) [11:29] hi [11:29] markus2, friend tell me that gnome-media [11:29] kanzie: regarding the find sysntax... you just invented it; didn't you ;P ? ---> find ./ -name '*.php' -exec grep 'myword' {} \; [11:29] kanzie: regarding the find sysntax... you just invented it; didn't you ;P ? ---> find ./ -name '*.php' -exec grep 'myword' '{}' \; [11:30] usinf find and grep in the same command.. double points. :) [11:30] now add in xargs for a tripple [11:30] how do i install a deb file through ssh? [11:30] netshine: for what to you want to witdh it [11:31] I wonder if using find that way will handle files with spaces in the names [11:31] civpro: sudo dpkg -i *.deb [11:31] Dr_Willis: it does [11:31] ty [11:31] erUSUL: haha, that is good yes but id doesnt give the name of the files where I have matches [11:31] :-) [11:31] I alwyas make sure to not put spaces in filenames :) [11:31] Hmm.. theres a grep option for that I thought [11:32] kanzie: aothers and i have told you to use grep -R directly [11:32] wouldn't work [11:33] trying again then... hmmm [11:33] it works here kanzie [11:33] grep -R set /etc [11:33] for example [11:33] Karmic used to connect to the internet out-of-the-box for me on my laptop but recently when I had reinstalled karmic and tried to connect it wouldn't. Same thing happened with lucid beta1. Is there some hardware problem? How do I confirm it? [11:33] grep -R 'myword' . [11:33] but how do I add only .php.files [11:33] ./*.php does not do it [11:34] the grep lines show the files.. you could grep the output again to look for .php :) i guess [11:34] proberly a nicer way however [11:35] kanzie: find ./ -name '*.php' -exec sh -c 'if grep -q myword "$1"; then echo "$1 matchs"; fi' _ '{}' \; [11:35] hello guys. i have a problem to reinstall linux an my computer... because he cannot write filesystem on some parts of hd ... i did try ubuntu live cd and debian netinstall cd and allways the same error... i did removed the partitiontable with cfdisk ... is there somebody who can help me [11:35] erUSUL: hahahaha [11:36] Trashi: maybe your harddisk is broken? [11:36] erUSUL: that is a little overkill [11:36] ive seen much more complex then that kanzie :) [11:36] kanzie: i'm waiting for your solution ;P [11:36] would someone help me with pastebinit, getting an error, ill pastebin the error, how ironic [11:37] civpro: pastebin web site changes stuff the other week. You can set pastebinit to use a differnt site. [11:37] kanzie: grep whatever **/*.php [11:37] im not sure if theres an updated pastebinit command in the repos yet or not. [11:37] nibbler: yes i thought the same, but it was possible to create a new partition table and it was also possible to upgrade grub in former steps [11:37] Trashi: to check hdd try this: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download [11:37] drwilis where do i change it to? [11:37] http://pastebin.com/bNPunRk8 [11:37] civpro: pastebinit command has options, and default config file i recall. [11:38] the one that comes with it wont even trigger [11:38] nibbler: but is it possible that only a part auf hd is broken .. because some other partitions he can write without problems [11:38] yes im asking the location of it [11:38] :) [11:38] Trashi: do a cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda - with sda being the disk you want to test, see if you get I/O Errors (this erases the disk sda) [11:38] man pastebinit or pastebinit --help [11:38] nibbler: ill try it [11:38] Trashi: that is possible, and would be a clear sign to immediately backup your data and get a new hd :) [11:38] did u see the errors im getting [11:38] ? [11:38] cause i dont think its that [11:39] summarize the error perhaps. Im on 10.04 so cant really double check if it happens here or not. [11:39] cant u look at the pastebin [11:39] not at this time no. [11:39] can you? [11:39] cause its 17 lines [11:40] I just installed 10.04 on second hard disk, how do i get to files on my other windows hard drive? <--- very noob [11:40] unless u want me to paste it in here [11:40] Hopefully an easy question. How can I change the ctrl+alt+F* shortcuts in karmic. I want to make tty just one fkey press and the revert back to normal one keypress. I couldnt find this in the keyboard shortcuts menu [11:40] !10.04 | martron [11:40] martron: 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 === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:40] ok ty [11:42] callum1 what is tty? [11:42] on ubuntu press ctrl+alt+F2 for example [11:42] it will open a terminal [11:42] callum1 hmm . it opens. then? [11:43] and ctrl+alt+f7 returns you to normal [11:43] I want to change these shortcuts [11:43] callum1 to change to normal I just type exit ;) [11:44] I want to leave processes running in this shell [11:44] so I need to change both shortcuts [11:44] callum1 hmm . [11:45] hi [11:45] usb-stuff is always mounted as read-only. How do I change it or is it a hardware error? [11:45] (working with root rights, then still no deletion is permitted) [11:46] Matisse: you plug in usb in that account in which account you want to do delete etc operations [11:46] cant delete as normal user either [11:47] the sentence in brackets is only to show that its not a rights problem [11:47] Matisse: if you want to do operation from account A, then plug-in your usb to computer when you are logged in, in account A, not account B [11:47] i did [11:47] Matisse: OhH hmmmm [11:48] Matisse: add yourself to usb group [11:48] someone knows why totem works TOO bad with theora videos? VLC works speedy [11:48] abhi_nav, that group isnt existing [11:50] Matisse: hmmm........amm? then dont know much about it [11:50] hi anyone care to suggest a filesystem that is good at handling many files in one volume, it will get accessed often, small files are created, written and removed. Was looking into reiserfs... but is there an alternative? [11:50] I just updated to lucid and now keep getting this error message for munin-node and nfs-{common,kernel-server}: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused [11:51] I only find websites talking about chroots, but I'm in a VM...

What does 'Extras' mean here? [11:52] someone please help me with pastebinit [11:52] i cant find anything on google [11:52] been looking for days [11:52] and cant seem to find any help on it anywhere [11:53] civpro: When I tried it lately, I learned that it is not functional. [11:53] bullgard: things that are not common to all laptops. extra buttons chips funcionalities that are handled via ACPI methods [11:53] there has to be a manual way to install though [11:54] civpro: you have to use an alternate site. command | pastebinit -b pastebin.ca [11:54] ah ok [11:54] civpro: the default site does not currently works [11:54] and that will work? [11:54] civpro: command | pastebinit -b paste.ubuntu.com [11:54] civpro: try [11:55] thanks [11:55] how do I setup a ssh tunnel/proxy? ssh -D localhost:1025 user@server isn't working. [11:56] so if your wanting to pastebin a file what command would that be? [11:56] i thought it was pastebinit filename [11:56] kiaas: -D would be dynamic, and needs to be followed by the local port, so use: ssy -D8080 remote.host.net [11:56] erUSUL: thinkpad_acpi.c includes a function for fan control. Do you think that this is not common to all laptops? [11:57] kiaas: but this would be socks5 proxy, if you want to have a static tunnel, use: ssh -L8080:host.example.com:80 yourhost.net <-- the tunnel will be between your local host and yourhost.net and will be pointing to host.example.com:80 [11:57] Firefox and Chrome stopped loading Facebook yesterday.

[12:50] are there any irssi themes that color nick names so rooms look more organized [12:51] happyface: the irssi homepage has tons of themes/scripts for that [12:51] happyface: weechat can also do that feature. [12:51] Dr_Willis: thanks for the hint, I will dig it and learn upstart... ( yet I am ruinning Kubuntu 9.10 which must be the same as Ubuntu... ) [12:51] wow! typ[o: running!!!! [12:52] ruining Kubuntu hahaha I meant *running* [12:52] Dr_Willis, mmh. i read: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ but setting the $PS1="\u@\h" won't show me the expected prompt. [12:52] bretzel_: i think there is a script to color them [12:53] I am not that used with irc, just bare using it [12:54] anyone know if there is a program that will let me look at audio specturm of an mp3 I need something a little more advanced than a simple graphics equalizer [12:55] donavan01: i believe audacity will do that for you. [12:56] donavan01: or do you mean that you need a full fourier analysis tool? [12:57] it looks like the /bin/bash removes the $PS1? [12:57] sipior not sure ... I have some mp3s that want to see if someone has overlaid something onto them or if its just junk noise [12:58] Dr_Willis: I've tried themes but all just make the text all one color really [12:58] happyface: its not a theme thing. its a script thing [12:58] tobago: then change it to what you want. theres 10000's of things you can use in a prompt [12:58] Dr_Willis, i wanto to connect to remote server by a script using ssh and changing the directory for later use. that's why i tried: ssh tobago@$server 'cd /var/log; /bin/bash; $PS1="\u@\h \W> "' [12:58] donavan01: give audacity a try, see if it solves your problem [12:58] I'm trying to install a program that seems to require xdialog on Karmic.

[12:59] sipior ok thanks [12:59] Dr_Willis, as you can see i set up the prompt, but the prompt is not visible. [13:00] tobago: use export perhaps. [13:00] tobago: and you dont set $PS1 you set PS1 [13:00] tobago: and ive no idea why you have that cd /var/log; /bin/bash in there... [13:00] i have an problem with my xorg [13:01] can anyone help me. [13:01] Dr_Willis: thanks [13:01] Dr_Willis, it'sin there to change the directory to /va/log and the /bin/bash is for staying on the server. otherwise the connection quits immediately. [13:02] /var/log [13:03] Dr_Willis, the sense behind the script is to a remote server, change the directory to /var/log and keeping the connection for work. [13:03] say checking log files [13:04] the resolution i have changed [13:04] tobago: you are trying to too much at the same time I think. when you run bash.. it will do its own init stuff. and you can set the prompt in the bashrc [13:05] tobago: ssh has a execut command option i recall also. [13:06] tobago: you may want to check out 'screen' with ssh - its very very handy [13:08] Dr_Willis, following the manual of ssh i should do as i did. [13:09] tobago: no idea then. you DO set PS1 NOT '$PS1' variable. [13:09] Dr_Willis, i can't see an screen option of ssh [13:09] export PS1='--->' [13:09] Dr_Willis, yep. i removed the "$" === texens is now known as texens|away [13:09] tobago: screen is a tool you run over ssh. to get enhanced features [13:09] !screen [13:09] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[14:08] I made a bootable 9.10 usb drive with the gui tool in 9.10 -- it works fine until I update it through update manager then it hangs with "can not find 2.6.30.20 foo " any ideas ? it worked fine until I tried to upgrade it . [14:08] ohhhhh!!! [14:09] testeer: The problem with that request is how do you define unnecessary? [14:09] r33d, not really just "me firsters" at this point [14:09] jalons, clear cache. [14:09] r33d: projects don't always have the manpower to keep up with every single linux distribution. consider running an LTS release to insulate yourself from this sort of thing. [14:10] jalons, sudo apt-get autoclean does the job? [14:10] i'll just wait until 10.04 comes out and not upgrade i guess.... i have most things the way i want them now [14:10] testeer: there are lots of caches - that will clear the apt cache [14:10] hi [14:11] I knew a command but I forgot it jalons. Thanks [14:11] r33d, then you upgrade and it's like you temporarily lost your eyesight and someone moved all the furniture [14:11] on 9.10 I receive only Normal updates. To get 10.04 when is out, I must turn it to LTS updates? [14:11] heres something offtopic, but i figured somebody in here might know the answer... chat in ##c++ is moderated.... why? will that end? [14:11] kop, yeah i know [14:12] !register | r33d [14:12] r33d: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [14:12] but its the same way if i wipe 9.10 and do an install of 9.04 [14:12] pici, thanks [14:12] testeer: No, you don't need to change anything. That option is there for people who only use LTS releases. [14:13] Pici, 9.10 isn't an LTS right? [14:13] testeer: no it isnt [14:13] testeer: Correct. 6.06, 8.04, and (upcoming 10.04) are the only LTS releases thus far. [14:14] If I have an intel 64-bit machine I choose AMD64 and if I have an amd 32-bit machine I choose Intel x86, right? [14:14] YingFan: Yes. [14:14] Pici, nice but when I want to be on 10.04 how I will upgrade? (If I stay on Normal releases) [14:14] brilliant, thanks [14:14] testeer: You will be notified by update-manager. [14:14] Alright PIci, Thanks [14:14] * kop can't wait to see what 10.04 breaks , no wait , yes I can [14:16] With 9.04 I couldn't read anything on my laptop because of Graphic's Card drivers (problem which solved now on 9.10) I hope to be fine on 10.04 [14:16] I made a bootable 9.10 usb drive with the gui tool in 9.10 -- it works fine until I update it through update manager then it hangs with "can not find 2.6.30.20 foo " any ideas ? it worked fine until I tried to upgrade it . I even tried to write grub to it this time :-/ [14:18] \join bimbrownia.org [14:18] * [14:20] * kop kicks ubuntu in the meebocks [14:21] grj should be banned. [14:21] testeer: Eh?

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. [14:32] As I said, still looking for user opinions. [14:32] thanks [14:33] hwilde, is X forwarding enabled ? [14:33] arvind_khadri, yes every other program forwards appropriately. try it for yourself and see. [14:34] ssh -X , will make the application of the other machine run at your machine hwilde [14:35] * Pillowtester is away: Occupée === Pillowtester is now known as leagris [14:35] arvind_khadri, try it for yourself. firefox is running locally and loads local bookmarks. [14:36] hello, when I ssh -X into another machine and run firefox it is running locally not on the remote machine how is that even possible?? [14:37] hwilde: ive seen a few others mention somthing similer.. but ive never paid much attention to it. [14:37] Dr_Willis_, if you ssh -X into some machine, run any application, it runs and forwards X. if you run firefox it runs locally with local bookmarks [14:37] a) that's not expected behavior [14:37] b) I don't even see how it's possible [14:38] hello [14:38] hwilde: what does ps say? [14:39] hwilde: it dosent seem to be doing it here [14:39] CIAO! === gabriele is now known as Guest23308 [14:40] wols_, Dr_Willis_ , ps says that firefox is running locally not on the remote computer [14:40] when is the next ubuntu version coming? 01/04? [14:41] wols_, Dr_Willis_, if for example I run xclock then it shows up in ps on the remote machine and it says in the title bar xclock (on remote machine) [14:41] hwilde: yes. i know what you mean.. ive seen OTHERS in here mention the exact same thing.. ive NOT had it happen here. [14:41] but all my FF's are all identical . so im trying to check it out [14:42] so, I have a line in my crontab, '@daily for file in ~/*.pdf; do (evince $file &); done'. but every time it runs, the PDFs reset to page 1, instead of going as usual to the last page I was at (possibly hundreds of pages in). how can I fix this? === r33d is now known as r333d === r333d is now known as r33d [14:42] Dr_Willis_, just make a bookmark on one. it loads local profile and shows up in local ps list [14:43] my email crontab logs look like this: http://pastebin.com/sRwe7PTH [14:43] I'm guessing the dbus errors are responsible [14:43] !LIST [14:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:43] (I don't get those dbus errors when launching evince normally) [14:44] hwilde: i ran one remote and one local :) they dident complain.. but the wife is yelling... bbl [14:44] if I manually fire up dash, evince works right as well [14:46] !LIST [14:46] Guest23308, stop that [14:47] gwern: why are you launching evince against all your pdfs? [14:47] why copying files from my HDD to usb HDD takes >50% my processor [14:48] and my system become so lagy [14:48] genii, using the debconf priority critical still shows the migration assistant (i'm using the ubiquity graphical installer...) [14:48] anyone know how i could get a sierra wireless device to work in ubuntu? [14:48] kaffien: find out what chip the device uses [14:49] gwern: lots of hits on that GConf message, you might start there [14:49] anyone? [14:49] Hi, anyone can point me to a project that uses markdown for its documentation? [14:49] hwilde: its definatly running the one on the REMOTE machine here - i changed the themes. :) [14:50] hello ubuntu users [14:50] Dr_Willis_, oh well I am running opera now... [14:50] hi [14:50] kaffien: lspci or lsusb [14:50] I was going to change the persona.. but did they remove the persona feature in 3.6 ? [14:50] jcm2302, it sounded like anonymous alcoholics [14:50] hello jcm2302 === kloeri_ is now known as kloeri [14:50] Dr_Willis_, you mean profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles [14:50] hwilde: yep - the few times ive seen people mention that issue.. they just used some other browser or got it done.. and never really debugged it much [14:50] hi [14:51] bobstro: the idea is that I keep 3 or 4 PDFs I am in the middle of reading in ~/, and every morning, I read some of each; thus making steady progress. (If I had to remember to read them, I probably wouldn't. hence the automation) [14:51] any idea how i can see debug logs for gnome? [14:51] my name is james ani i hate windows [14:51] hwilde: the quick theme/skin feature I saw ages ago. :) [14:51] my gnome screen is always blank [14:51] hi [14:51] i've a problem in window ,,of ubuntu themes [14:51] all of themes are like tyhis [14:51] http://i44.tinypic.com/2zq8u3r.png [14:51] jcm2302, Welcome to Ubuntu Community. [14:51] hwilde: NOW this is odd.. I opened that url here in weechat/gnome-terminal and it LOADED not in the local machines browser.. but in the remote machines browser [14:52] whats your problem [14:52] Dr_Willis_, yeah it's weird. I don't even see how it's possible [14:52] hwilde: so some how firefox is talking to the local box? or local commands can talk to the remote-but-seen locally firefox [14:52] with themes [14:52] gwern: ah, so it's just launching evince to view. gotcha. i had some evince issues recently, but not that. the gconf messages look like a good place to start from the bit of googling i did. [14:52] erUSUL, it's the Sierra Compass 597 usbpci [14:52] hwilde: and NOW if i start firefox locally.. it is using the new theme..... [14:52] errr [14:52] bobstro: the gconf errors seem to be very widely common and generally inapplicable to me; eg, my /tmp is on the hard drive, not ram, so that can't be it [14:53] kaffien: if it is a usb dongle use « lsusb » to find out the details [14:53] anyhow ubuntu detects it in the network manager but it wont connect [14:53] Dr_Willis_, haha try bookmarks too they will be weird [14:53] gwern: in my case, i'd symlinked /tmp to a larger drive. evince was the only app that seemed to care. [14:53] i've a problem with windows in gnome ?? i've a problem in window ,,of ubuntu themes i want it normal [14:53] hwilde: i closed the remote FF's then started it locally again... and its back to using the local one without the theme.. [14:53] Whenever I go to change the proxy settings and hit "Apply System Wide" the "please authorise root privelages" dialog that pops up freezes for about 2 minutes, then lets me type my password. Can someone else confirm that this happens to them, or is it just me? [14:53] Should I file a bug? [14:53] bobstro: and similarly one of the common diagnoses is dbus not running, yet as I said the error only manifests when run from cron, not when run manually [14:53] gwern: You need to pass information regarding your graphical session to your crontab, as it doesn't have any knowledge of that. i.e, you need to set DISPLAY, etc before you can run any commands. [14:54] erUSUL, just says sierra wireless inc [14:54] gwern: environment different from cron perhaps? [14:54] Pici: I have 'DISPLAY=:0.0' on a line; do I need more? [14:54] kaffien: « lsusb -v » ? [14:54] hwilde: i bet its simthing similer thats going on when you think its a local FF running when it should be a remote. I bet the firefox scripts some how see one allready running and elect to use it. [14:54] i've a problem in window ,,of ubuntu themes i've a problem in window ,,of ubuntu themes [14:54] gwern: You may. I don't know what though. [14:54] please help .. [14:54] !detauls | yussefmh [14:54] gwern: login verus interactive shell, etc.? [14:54] didnt catcht he -v [14:54] !details | yussefmh [14:54] http://i44.tinypic.com/2zq8u3r.png [14:54] yussefmh: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:54] hwilde: if you have all FF's closed.. ssh in, and run a FF. it is the remote.. If you have ONE allready running.. it pops up the local one again [14:54] I have a working sound system on my Ubuntu Karmic install on my desktop but it doesn't play the system ready sound when it is ready for users to log in. How do I get it to play that sound? [14:54] bobstro: well, my next hack is trying wrapping it in a 'bash -ci '...'' [14:55] yussefmh, change the theme if that does work. [14:55] hwilde: at least thats how it seems to be working here [14:55] Dr_Willis_, close ALL my firefoxes?? blasphemy! [14:55] Uboss [14:55] Uboss not working [14:55] hwilde: i had one local and one remote working earlier.. but cant replicate it now. :) [14:55] hm. I wonder what $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS does [14:55] Uboss restarted my pc couple times [14:55] yussefmh, did you mess up anything? [14:55] Uboss nope [14:55] erUSUL, your looking for the 'iproduct' ? [14:55] How to change the MOTD when i initially login to my box via SSH. [14:55] yussefmh, which theme do you have applied? [14:56] kaffien: maybe [14:56] gwern: i'm wondering if crontab is best place to even do that. [14:56] $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set when I run dash in urxvt. hm [14:56] Uboss new wave !! [14:56] kaffien: maybe « lshw -C Network » is better in this case [14:56] it says sierra wireless compass 597 EVDO Modem [14:56] How can I tell which version of Gnome I have by command line? [14:56] yussefmh, and what's wrong with it? Explain exactly. [14:56] CIAO! [14:56] bobstro: where else would I do it? I prefer to avoid gnome infrastructure since I don't trust it and it's hard to backup [14:56] kaffien: it is a modem ? 3G modem ? not a wifi controller? [14:56] bobstro: crontab, on the other hand, I can do things like '@weekly crontab -l > ~/doc/archive/backups/crontab-$(date +%s)$$' [14:56] !it | gabriele_ [14:57] gabriele_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:57] gwern: well, that sounds more like a session thing. no sense trying to run it if not in gui, etc. [14:57] yes it is a 3g modem [14:57] Uboss the windows ,, there is a button called X and the minimize and maxmize [14:57] gwern: but 1st try the environment fix... at least see if that's the problem. [14:57] sierra wireless makes 3g modems sorry i assumed everyone knew [14:57] bobstro: if it fails, there's no issue, so why bother with the conditional? [14:57] kaffien: aaaps ok; does not work via network manager. right click on the nm icon choose Edit connections [14:57] gwern: didn't mean to sidetrack you. [14:57] Uboss the places changed .. i don't know how !! [14:58] yussefmh, where are they? It should be on your right. [14:58] bobstro: conditionals only make sense if you're going to do something besides error out. why catch an exception just to rethrow it? [14:58] Uboss .. hard to me english :( [14:58] Whenever I go to change the proxy settings and hit "Apply System Wide" the "please authorise root privelages" dialog that pops up freezes for about 2 minutes, then lets me type my password. Can someone else confirm that this happens to them, or is it just me? [14:58] hwilde: thats exactly wht its doing.. its seeing whatever one is allready running and somenow 'using it' instead of the new one [14:58] Uboss .. yes they are in right [14:58] yussefmh, what is your main language? [14:58] yussefmh: there are channels for many languages [14:59] erUSUL, yep there now ... number is set to #777 [14:59] yussefmh, then you don't have any problem if they appear there. [14:59] Uboss , no no ,it's arabic and it's empty [14:59] hwilde: trying out some of the firefox scripts and seeing if i an force it to not do it. [14:59] gwern: just saying this sounds more like something you'd launch when opening a gui session. is it actually opening anything up when run from crontab? [14:59] Uboss but the UI is English [14:59] bobstro: sure, the pdfs open up (once I added the DISPLAY var anyway) [14:59] what does it mean why i have a .desktop file on my desktop? what does .desktop file do? [14:59] gwern: ah, i was wondering about environment. :) [15:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1147321 makes it sound like I need that dbus env var [15:00] yussefmh, you don't see - ^ X symbols at all? [15:00] gwern: crontab-launched will get a different environment. [15:00] hwilde: Figured it out. :) use the 'firefox -no-remote' option [15:00] Whenever I go to change the proxy settings and hit "Apply System Wide" the "please authorise root privelages" dialog that pops up freezes for about 2 minutes, then lets me type my password. Can someone else confirm that this happens to them, or is it just me? [15:01] hm. 'export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(grep "^DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=" /home/$USER/.dbus/session-bus/`cat /var/lib/dbus/machine-id`-0 |cut -d'=' -f2-)' [15:01] piojunbabia: .desktop files define programs and menu entries and auto start items. [15:01] piojunbabia: its a text file. open it up and look at it. [15:01] gwern: i'm not saying you *can't* make it work in crontab, but it seems you're doing a lot of work to emulate your desktop session in crontab. [15:02] * gwern blames evince for not storing the per-pdf state in .evince or something [15:02] gwern: but it normally does when used from gui, right? [15:02] bobstro: yeah [15:02] Anyone speaks Arabic in this room to help yussefmh ?

[15:05] genii, gotcha. thanks for the help [15:05] is there a way to get the hostname of a server using its internal IP address if I'm on the same LAN? [15:05] leagris, the user who wanted help quited. === aburch_ is now known as aburch [15:06] gwern: i'm thinking either 1.) deal with the interactive-versus-login shell environment issues when launching from crontab, or 2) create a script to launch, then put that in your session startup.

I had to hook up a second wifi card [15:43] trek, one second please. [15:43] obscurant1st: Not erally. [15:43] THZone: I then had to use Network Manager to manage the thing [15:43] You're really not understanding me at all. [15:43] well, im out, cu all [15:43] obscurant1st: Out of the box, Ubuntu only offers read support. [15:43] THZone: you need something to manage the connection, to load it and keep it up [15:43] trk [15:43] Give me a minute, Please. [15:43] hi guys [15:43] THZone; go ahead, sorry, i'm a little over-energized right now [15:43] obscurant1st, you can't really convert partitions - copy the content to a 3rd media then copy the info back is only way [15:43] KB1JWQ, so i cant do anything from ubuntu to create it?? [15:44] obscurant1st: You can make a new HFS+ partition with the proper tools installed and move data to it, but conversion of filesystems is rarely possible, or well advised for that matter. [15:44] KB1JWQ, i dont want to copy any data, just to create the partiion [15:44] ? [15:44] obscurant1st: Then yes, I *think* it's possible. [15:44] Conversion only works from, say, ext3 to xt4, obscurant1st [15:44] KB1JWQ, and how? :o :) [15:44] ext4* [15:45] create the partiion from free space [15:45] thats what i needed [15:45] obscurant1st: gparted does it. [15:45] after a recent xorg upgrade I seem to be having a strange issue. each time after boot, Xorg hogs RAM (got 4GiB + 2GiB swap, all used!), gets OOM-killed, gets up again and works AOK [15:45] obscurant1st: Having just switched from Mac OS X to Ubuntu, I feel your pain. :-) [15:45] this takes 10-15mins [15:46] rysiek|pl: On Karmic? [15:46] aye [15:46] karmic [15:46] rysiek|pl: That's not good. [15:46] KB1JWQ, gparted options for hfs+ grayed out [15:46] thats the problem [15:46] obscurant1st: Ah, stand by. :-) [15:46] rysiek|pl: I'd probably check launchpad and file a bug if nobody else has. [15:46] and i want to install (iatkos) mac to my PC, so I am trying out things [15:47] obscurant1st: installed hfsutils? [15:47] KB1JWQ: been there, searched that. nothing specific, and I don't want to open bugs without checking here first [15:47] Is ubottu opensource? [15:47] FFForever: Yes. [15:47] rysiek|pl, what graphics card are you using? [15:47] KB1JWQ, i havent [15:47] KB1JWQ: Intel GMA965 aka X3100 [15:47] :o [15:47] KB1JWQ, where can I get the changes to the factoid module? [15:47] rysiek|pl: Should be solid. [15:47] Hi, I have an intel IGP with a monitor that has a native resolution of 1600x900. Once in a while the resolutions are all botched with the maximum being 800x600. I had tried everywthing as mentioned in the Xorg troubleshooting guide [15:47] can someone aid me in using scalap to location a tar.gz file extension [15:47] even tried setting the Modes manually [15:47] FFForever: ubottu.com [15:47] doesn't work [15:48] anyone know how to use file carvers? Please help [15:48] raptor2: What's your question? [15:48] I need to recover a tar.gz file extension [15:48] did an rm -rf by accident [15:48] hoping can recover the file [15:49] raptor2: No, you need to recover a file that had a pointer with a tar.gz extension directed at it. Huge difference. [15:49] raptor2: testdisk is your friend, and don't do ANYTHING on that drive until you've sorted it. [15:49] If anyone has a syncmaster 2033 can you tell me the vertrefresh I that I should put in [15:49] playing around gives me a optimal 4:3 but not a 16:9 [15:49] KB1JWQ: yeah, so I've heard. gma965 fails; intel 845 on my friend's machine fails; seems like intel fscked up royale [15:49] I have no choice :( [15:49] don [15:49] raptor2: LiveCD [15:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [15:49] raptor2: ^^ [15:49] GO read. [15:50] KB1JWQ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:50] raptor2, what filesystem are you using? If it's ext3 or ext4, all I have to say is good luck. I don't have any suggestions (I'm not sure it's even possible) [15:50] KB1JWQ, i installed hfsutils, but still hfs+ is grayed out! [15:50] :( [15:50] /join #flossk [15:50] thank you [15:50] Is it better to use simple file permissions for users not to execute apps, or are ACLs better? [15:50] raptor2, you can try the testdisk or photorec suggestion someone made [15:51] raptor2, check the archives of Linux Journal around May or June 2009. They had some articles about file recovery. [15:51] KB1JWQ, ? [15:51] epaphus: us ethe simplest method that works; if file perms will do the trick, use those [15:51] *the [15:52] rysiek|pl, thanks [15:52] sudharsh: which version of ubuntu? [15:52] abhi_nav, karmic [15:52] hi, my laptop is on a windows network, it gets an ip address assigned, but how do I know the name of my laptop in the network? Other computers on this network have names like ws-032, ws-012, etc. [15:53] trek: http://imagebin.ca/view/irQ3a1D.html [15:53] hey guys what is the command to bind a gateway [15:53] is there a way to know the name that corresponds to the ip address assigned? [15:53] I hope that helps. [15:53] its like dig wp (local ip)? [15:53] i forget what the comand is? [15:53] to bind a wp [15:53] gw [15:53] sorry [15:53] Does anyone know how to find out from where "Weather Report" (Ubuntu 9.10, top taskbar, right-click, "Add To Panel"...) pulls its weather information for various cities? [15:53] sam__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:53] !enter | sam__ [15:53] sam__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:53] what do you mean by wp? [15:53] i meant gw [15:54] sam__: You probably want 'route' not 'dig' [15:54] its like dig bind gw (local ip) or something so i can acess outside stuff [15:54] Also... having two bots, and a user remind someone not to use the enter key as a punctuation line is... oxymoronic, don't you think? [15:54] I am going to try to do this.. we will see if it carves [15:54] tahnks [15:54] sudharsh: It seems that karmic have lots of problem regarding graphics. just before I was talking with one user with same problem. see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1436004. It seems that karmic have hardware driver issues [15:54] THZone: I triggered one of them manually. [15:54] yea the problem is each time i restart i hvae to do the route gw(then IP) or else i cannot acess the outside WAN how do i change that so it basically does that for me etc?

[15:55] sudharsh: have you upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10? [15:55] If I can have the refresh rates i should be good [15:55] obscurant1st: Er, the NTFS stuff is optional [15:55] alguien abla español? [15:55] abhi_nav, no, this is a fresh install [15:56] !es [15:56] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.

Can anyone give me ideas why Ubuntu Karmic doesn't show my face picture on the gdm login screen? I see the face picture on the laptop.

[16:04] abhi_nav, yep [16:04] obviously Im not asking my question correctly [16:04] !netbook [16:05] wols_: the problem i have right now is that http://pastebin.ca/1849325 happens even though i already do have it [16:05] I am trying to turn a wireless network card in my server machine into an AP, and bind it to eth2 so i can use the DHCP and load balancing features of my eBox firewall. [16:05] Roasted: in my experience, Wicd will step aside (not work) if you have settings in interfaces. I think wicd wants one or the other, not both [16:05] On my server, is there a way to assign my connection's bandwith to certain programs, e.g. my eggdrop program gets more bandwith from my connection [16:05] like through QOS [16:05] http://imagebin.ca/view/irQ3a1D.html is an image of my network map (I'm good at mspaint!) [16:06] sudharsh: hmmm [16:06] l34k: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [16:06] wols_ [16:06] there has to be a way, Web hosting services do it all the time, assign bandwith to higher paying accounts [16:06] neetbook [16:06] l34k: note the missing hypen [16:06] *hyphen [16:07] all i want is for 1 program to have more bandwith priority than say my apache server [16:07] Taev: they don't. [16:07] anyone have ideas on how to install IE for 9.10 64 bit [16:07] Taev: I told you. they LOWER the priority of others. think what then happens with the one that is not lowered. just think... [16:07] sanju_74: unpossible. WINE is 32bit only [16:07] thank you wols_ [16:07] fine how do I lower the other programs priority [16:07] ie? [16:07] rotfl [16:08] wols_: unpossible? that's a perfectly cromulent word. [16:08] Taev: I answered you at the beginning where to look. scroll back [16:08] can anyone tell me why the instructions for the desktop icon on http://www.flock.com/faq/show/30#q_9069 don't seem to work? I can run Flock alright, but only from the folder/terminal [16:08] how about running firefox 32 bit for 9.10 64 bit [16:09] im on a gateway fx p-7805u, with 9.10 64-bit running wine & vbox with windows 7, and have no problems,i ahve tryed all top 10 distros from distro watch...9.10 was the only one to install all my hardware properly. its just funny from pc to pc the problems ppl have. [16:09] Can anyone at all help me? [16:09] sanju_74: schroot or such, works fine, like any other 32bit software [16:09] sanju_74 I just come to know that we can use 32 bit aps on 64 bit ubuntu [16:09] guys, how to check md5sum in ubuntu cd? [16:10] sanju_74 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [16:10] sanju_74: btw, I meant IE 64bit on any ubuntu. running IE on a 64bit ubuntu works just fine (as fine as IE runs under wine...). Install WINE and run IE [16:10] i found md5sum.txt [16:10] chili555, my question comes from a unique situation, I suppose. I'm on my work laptop, and I want my wired interface to have a static IP and my wireless to be handled with DHCP or wahtever. With network manager, since it kind of.... sucks.... I had to use static IP's in the network interface file for the static IP to work since NM couldn't handle it properly. I'm just curious if using WICD I'll have any issues. [16:10] thx wols_ [16:11] quick q, i have a process that seems to run forever then spawn more children all at 100% CPU from a user called contact. command is "spamd child" could this be an exploit or something? [16:11] Roasted: wicd will simply not work, in my experience. if interfaces is working as expected why do you need wicd at all? [16:11] StopSign: read up what "anecdotal evidence" is [16:11] !md5sum | marijuana [16:11] marijuana: 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 [16:12] PlaHPoy: do you have a mailserver? are you running spamassassin? [16:12] yes [16:12] congrats. you found out why spamassassin is such shitty software [16:12] but its never had this issue [16:12] marijuana: in the terminal type md5sum -- and wait till its finished [16:12] what about user contact. ? [16:13] you should know how you installed spamassassin and how you run it. not me [16:13] !language | wols_ [16:13] kk, I'll paypal $10 to whoever helps me get this fixed. [16:13] wols_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:13] guntbert: thanks [16:13] Im trying to use aptitude to install postres, and im having some difficulties [16:13] guntbert: let's just say it's not the first time someone kicks or bans me. and it won't be the last [16:13] does anyone has to say smt about ubuntu on atom cpu? [16:13] marijuana: :) [16:13] Kudzu: error messages or it didn't happen [16:14] CIAO! [16:14] !it | gabriele [16:14] gabriele: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [16:14] chili555, you still here? sorry got disconnected. [16:14] well not errors, but I dont think its working. I found postgres in not installed, and used g and + and now it says piA [16:14] but I dont understand how its purged and installed === gabriele is now known as Guest48195 [16:14] Roasted: at your service [16:14] wols_: no threats from me :-) [16:14] chili555, I see what you mean now. I'll be set up on a static interface and when I select to connect to wireless, it drops the static and activates the wifi. [16:14] Traveler7: ask a specific question. polls get unwiedlie with almost 1000 users in a channel [16:14] chili555, as if it cannot handle running both at the same time. [16:14] and typiong "post" as a "search" from the shell doesnt find anything for postgres [16:14] Hi there, I want to downgrade my kernel to the lastest one found in Hardy. How can I do this in Karmic? [16:14] *unwieldly [16:15] thanius: just install the kernel you want. and pray it works (it might not if you are unlucky) [16:15] guntbert: i type like this : unitedpotsmokers@devilcomHP:~/Desktop/sabily$ md5sum md5sum.txt [16:15] thanius: and you shouldn't need to do it either [16:15] wols_: Should need to? [16:15] and the output is like this : 1e7826afe039c68b9d039bb7bf06d5bf md5sum.txt [16:15] wols_: I want to downgrade using apt [16:15] das all [16:15] thanius: and I want a pony [16:16] Roasted: i would simply do sudo ifup wlan0 if you know you want wireless and suo ifup eth0 if you know you want ethernet and, if interfaces is set correctly, you'll be all good [16:16] hi guys, I have a problem with the new ubuntu beta - am I wrong or right here? [16:16] marijuana: the ISO file you downloaded. not the md5sum.txt file... [16:16] *sudo [16:16] Ok, let me rephrase my question [16:16] marijuana: no - md5sum.txt contains only the checksum [16:16] chili555, does the standard network manager allow wireless and wired interfaces to be operating at the same time? [16:16] lorenz__: #ubuntu+1 [16:16] wols_: thx [16:16] marijuana: or use md5sum -c md5sum.txt [16:16] Roasted: no, and why would you? one for internet and one for LAN? [16:16] Roasted: of course it does. you can have as many network interfaces as you want [16:17] chili555, I never tried with NM.. I alwyas had my interface file set with static for my wired LAN and left the wireless up to NM. So I dont know if NM can handle it or not since I used separate devices (NM vs interface file) to handle each task. [16:17] browser will not work [16:17] ok [16:17] wols_, but can you have wired AND wireless both actively connected through NM is what I'm curious about. [16:17] chili555, I do imaging from my laptop from the wired LAN, so I need a static IP. Meanwhile, it's nice to be on DHCP with wireless to get on email and remotely maintain servers and whatnot. [16:17] Since I've got the nasty PCI-Express-bug that no one seems to get around and fix, I need to downgrade to a more stable kernel since I get random freezes. My setup haven't worked since Intrepid [16:17] Roasted: not according to the documents [16:18] How do I downgrade to a kernel found in Hardy, under Karmic? [16:18] Roasted: NM is not your friend, but interfaces can do it [16:18] chili555, come to think of it, I think I remember plugging in a USB wifi adapter in my desktop which has NM and both worked fine... so I would say NM does handl eboth interfaces actively at the same time. [16:18] chili555, I wonder why WICD cant handle it??? [16:18] !work | chris__ [16:18] chris__: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [16:18] my laptop includes a fingerprint reader, does exist a driver for it in ubuntu? [16:19] guntbert: it say all OK [16:19] so what does piA mean really in aptitude? [16:19] marijuana: then you are fine [16:19] jatt: I suppose it would depend on the hardware for the fingerprint reader, there are a lot of different vendors [16:19] Roasted: i dunno, but i have tried several times and with a populated interfaces file, it just tries and fails to connect [16:19] ./casper/filesystem.squashfs: OK [16:19] ./casper/vmlinuz: OK [16:19] ./casper/README.diskdefines: OK [16:19] g./casper/initrd.gz: OK [16:19] marijuana: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:19] chromium will not start and Packagemanager is broken [16:19] guntbert: ok... thanks alot [16:20] Roasted: if i comment out all of interfaces except lo, of course, it connects quickly [16:20] chili555, I'm not even using the interface file anymore. I restored my original interface file and set up a wired static interface within WICD as well as my wireless. Whenever you select "connect", it drops ALL interfaces, then activates the one you just connected. [16:20] I'll pay $20 to anyone that fixes my problem :P [16:20] chili555, so more or less, it appears even with trying to use WICD to actively use two interfaces at once (LAN and wifi) it still does the same thing. Drops all, activates ONE. Whether its wired or wifi, it does the same thing no matter which one I try. [16:21] gonna try somethin here... I'll probably get disconnected... [16:21] but i keep geting an error on the client arp timeout acn any one help me ? [16:21] Roasted: indeed. i dont think wicd or NM is written for wireless _and_ LAN simultaneous use [16:22] I've got two patches to add libowfat and gatling (both from www.fefe.de). I was wondering why they aren't already packaged. [16:23] any one know what the arp timeout error means ? [16:23] what does "(Gecko)" mean? [16:23] is it a truly bad idea to upgrade a particular package to a more recent version which has the necessary functionality (gdal in my case)? I'm still using hardy (8.04) and don't want to upgrade before 10.04 comes out. [16:23] jkd4: depends on context [16:23] chili555, yeah, maybe you're right. I can't imagine that it's a smart idea to run wifi and LAN at the same time. But dangit, I was gonna try :P [16:23] ndlovu: more than just normally bad [16:23] chili555, come to think of it I even have trouble with that in Windows. I can connect to wired and wireless at the same time but it seems to lug the connection along even more, as if it's confused over hwich to default to. [16:23] Roasted: why shouldn't it be a smart idea? [16:24] wols_: with the Epiphany Web Browser, there is a normal web browser and a "(Geckio)" web browser [16:24] hello, i'm wondering if anyone can help me with automating some the generation of some spreadsheets [16:24] wols_, I don't know? I guess "one or the other" makes sense to me. [16:24] Gecko* [16:24] Roasted: there is no confusion. there is one default gateway no matter what and that's it [16:24] how can i connect my ubuntu with a windows PC via LAN [16:24] wols_, well, I don't know then. [16:24] after selecting + in aptitude, when does the pkg actually get installed? [16:24] Roasted: i think you may be able to do it with a carefully crafted interfaces file [16:24] maciator: do you have a router or a switch? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:24] wols_, I just know NM has dropped me about 4 times today and WICD has yet to give me issues. I think I'll stick with it. [16:25] !samba | maciator [16:25] maciator: 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. [16:25] It's a wonder why it's not defaulted in Ubuntu. I have a ton of trouble with NM with a broad range of machines. [16:25] wols_ nope just cable [16:25] Roasted: +1000 [16:25] maciator: what do you want to do so you connect them both? [16:25] pretty much the only systems I don't have a lot of trouble with are desktops. [16:25] gdodge77: maybe try #openoffice.org [16:25] kk [16:25] maciator: ie why connecting them? [16:25] what is the difference between the normal Epiphany web browser and a the Epiphany "(Gecko)" web browser? [16:25] wols_ i want to copy my files on to the ubuntu from windows [16:25] jkd4: one uses webkit and the other gecko as rendering engine iirc [16:25] chili555, well I'm gonna get disconnected here when I activate my wired static connection to image this laptop. :( but hey, thanks a bunch man. take care. [16:26] wols_: what does that mean? [16:26] Roasted: glad to help. have fun! [16:26] maciator: do you have a working network connection between them? can you ping each other? === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth === enghezi is now known as navid [16:26] jkd4: one is based on firefox and the other on webkit [16:26] what is gecko? [16:26] !gecko [16:26] gecko is a rendering engine [16:27] wols_ yes i did that but my windows cant see the ubuntu [16:27] ok. what is webkit? [16:27] maciator: windows wll now show you linux partitions [16:27] abhi_nav nope [16:27] jkd4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_%28layout_engine%29 [16:27] my app windows no longer have min/max close buttons and I can't switch between windows on the desktop [16:27] maciator: hmm? [16:27] i am using ubuntu for netbook [16:28] maciator: can either of them ping the other one? [16:28] ok. what is webkit? [16:28] teknofonix: that means your window manager isnt running or crashed. i dont know what the netbook's wm is though [16:28] jkd4: a rendering engine, just like gecko [16:28] Hi, is there a way to monitored or log everything that someone does via console ? [16:28] what feature turns them back on again? [16:28] abhi_nav wols_ i can see some windows network but i cant acces it [16:28] maciator: hmmm [16:28] i have been trying to customize the look of the gnome gui [16:28] exir [16:28] exit [16:28] maciator: tried samba? [16:28] teknofonix: you can either open a terminal and start the windowmanager there or log out of X and back in again [16:28] teknofonix: rebooting would probably bring it back [16:29] !tell maciator about errors [16:29] maciator, please see my private message [16:29] need help to completely remove grub legacy from my karmic install. i was messing with it, reinstalled grub2, but my extended linux partition keeps booting grub 0.97 [16:29] maco: ubuntu is not windows [16:29] MrPiracy: you cannot uninstall grub. you can only overwrite it [16:29] MrPiracy, what OS do you want to use? [16:30] mezquitale: triple boot: win7, macos, karmic [16:30] wols_: so? [16:30] wolf: i did overwrite it, but it seems to come back when i run synaptics or update [16:30] MrPiracy, are you able to boot up into any of those OS's??? [16:30] wols_: doesnt change that rebooting resets your system state === antivirtel`afk is now known as antivirtel [16:30] maco: the only time one reboots is when hardware is faulty and changed or a new kernel is installed [16:31] wols_ hmm baybe its this stupid EDUbuntu [16:31] Hi, anyone knows a way to monitored or log everything that someone does via console/shell access ? [16:31] MrPiracy: dpkg -l grub* [16:31] wols_: not necessarily. rebooting can be easier than figuring out which module to "modprobe -r" and then re "modprobe" [16:31] Hello [16:31] windows manager - ok i will try and locate that, is it called that or is that a generic name for what it does? [16:31] wols_: i used to do that all the time when sky2 was crappier [16:31] hi, where can I find the official guide for setting a http svn server on 9.10 ? [16:32] wols_, mezquitale: i want to keep grub2 on an extended partiotion bypassing that message about blacklist being not reliable [16:32] teknofonix: generic name [16:32] Does the 31-20.58 headers go with the 31-20.33 kernel? [16:32] On my server I have a huge amoutn of ips listenign on port 6929 , How can i see whats going on ? [16:32] gizmobay: obviously not [16:32] wols_: well, until i figured out that sky2 was the module i needed to unload & reload. took about 6mo to figure that out [16:33] didn't think so [16:33] jellow: see what exactly? [16:33] maco: please stop highlighting me. thank you [16:33] I don't have the matching kernel and headers [16:33] gizmobay: then install a matching couple? [16:34] wols_: it gave me a list of grubs :( [16:34] it hopefully did [16:34] MrPiracy, grub2 is not an application or like an operating system, all grub2 does is boots up your operating system, you should be able to boot up to any OS with grub, what I need to know if i you dont want to use linux or if youre having a problem booting up to an OS [16:34] otherwise your ubuntu were broken [16:34] gizmobay: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic [16:34] oops my bad [16:34] Anyone ? [16:34] I have the 20.58 kernel [16:35] $25 to whoever fixes my problem [16:35] mezquitale: i was having problems booting macos, i managed to have grub2 booting it properly, but i didnt find a way to pass parameters to it ... as in instruct mac to boot 32bit, or bebuild cache, etc, etc [16:36] THZone: you will have a long wait before you [16:36] wols_: I have blocked the port but here is a netstat http://pastebin.com/pdTr3fgg [16:36] mezquitale: then i have decided to keep chamaleon, which works perfectly, but it boots karmic once and the next time it gives me grub prompt saying version 0.97 at the top [16:36] which is the least bad option - installing a package from source, forcing the install of a more recent version with apt-get, or downloading and installing the newer version as a .deb? [16:36] especially when you add another $5 every quarter hour. I think I wait a week, then it will be worth my while :) [16:36] sorry, that's if a more recent version is needed [16:36] I am considering disabling pulseaudio in favour of using alsa exclusively. Does anyone this this is a good/bad idea? [16:36] hey, what is the command to uninstall a language? [16:36] jellow: so what listens on that port? [16:36] wols_ thanks - i am just playing with 'ubuntu software centre', all i really wanted to do was ditch the horrible launcher desktop. I would be lost in terminal. [16:37] wols_: O never mind , its P2P [16:37] I have an Eee, is there a good and easy to use tool to adjust screen brightness? [16:37] hal: probably bad since all ubuntu programs are configured for pulseaudio [16:38] thank you wols_ [16:38] MrPiracy, you need to be clear on what you want to do --- I assume chameleon is a MAC OS? Are you able to boot up into it without any problems now? It seems you are now having a problem booting up into karmic? [16:38] guys, does *anybody* here use an intel 845 card with karmic? anybody? [16:38] anyone else got any views about it? === miaou is now known as miaou-grr [16:38] hal, yes. bad idea. [16:38] hi, how to run firefox without restoring last session? :s [16:39] oal, isnt there a key in your laptop that allows you to do that? You press FN then up or low arrow on my laptop [16:40] mezquitale: chamaleon is mac OS bootloader, it works, it finds karmic extended partition and boots it. [16:40] konraddo: do you have this installed? http://sessionmanager.mozdev.org/ [16:40] oal: sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 f4.b=ff [16:40] mezquitale: the problem now is: once i boot into karmic, it will update the boot record on my /dev/sda5 with grub legacy (version 0.97) which has problems to boot ext4 partitions [16:40] /quit [16:41] mezquitale: then the boot stops at grub> prompt [16:41] MrPiracy: just booting into any OS won't make grub do anything. ever [16:41] especially not updating anything [16:41] konraddo: anyway, install it, as it has an option about whether to ask or not at startup [16:41] thank you kostkon [16:42] wols_: but there are remains of grub legacy here, why does it install itself? one boot goes to grub 1.97, the next will go to grub 0.97 ???? [16:42] ok, thanks, but anyway i tried to start firefox again, and i had a choice - restore a session or not :D [16:42] skype won't work with pulseaudio unfortunately. How did you overcome this abhi_nav ? [16:42] it does not install itself [16:42] hal: which version of ubuntu and skype? [16:42] I asked you something to do before. still haven't seen the results [16:42] abhi_nav: 9.10 with latest skype [16:42] mezquitale: Just noticed.Thanks :) [16:42] whats the command to remove a language or even all of them? [16:43] wols_: the dpkg -l grub* ??? [16:43] MrPiracy, so the problem is with chameleon OS boot loaded, if you were using grub2 you wouldnt have a problem or I could help you figure out what's going on. All grub2 does is boot up your OS, grub gives you a menu with choice, you pick your choice, your OS boots, you do what you want to do. Since youre not using grub2 youre going to ask for someone to help you with chameleon os boot loader [16:43] hal, the latest skype works just fine with pulseaudio [16:43] how can I make it so that when a client asks for a certain domain name, a given IP address is returned? do I hve to edit the /etc/hosts file? [16:43] hal: check and tell me the correct skype version [16:43] Shambat: that's the easiest way to do it yes [16:43] how can I make awk append a newline to its output? [16:43] wols_: what is the safest way to add things to the hosts file? [16:44] mezquitale: that's the thing, if grub2 would sit on an extended partition everything would be fine [16:44] hello, can someone help to configure my 2 monitors in order to play urban terror ? [16:44] abhi_nav: 2.1.0.81 [16:44] wols_, mezquitale: i think the problem is when i run synaptics or update ... it will recover /dev/sda5 boot record [16:44] hal: ammmmm !!!! It works here fine. You checked all the settings? or try alsa etc? [16:44] I'm piping find output into awk, and it's stripping the newlines [16:44] no, it will not MrPiracy [16:45] wols_, mezquitale: that's why i want to manually remove grub legacy completely [16:45] hal, what is your problem exactly? [16:45] does anyone know how I can position the time and date in the panel, next to each other instead of on top of each other? [16:45] the only thing that will play around with your bootloader is installing a new kernel (and even that is configurable). nothing else, except grub-install or installing another grub version will [16:46] abhi_nav: but how can I try alsa ? skype only gives me the option to use pulseaudio [16:46] wols_: ok, if that info is correct, i will restore grub2 into /dev/sda5 and boot twice ... let's see what happens [16:46] Christ [16:46] kostkon: when I test sound, under settings, I cannot hear anything [16:46] kostkon: audio is working for other apps [16:46] Is there a way to daemonize evolution, so it gets my mail automatically and notifies me as if it were minimized? [16:46] * wols_ wonders if that falls under "language" thing... [16:46] THZone: yes? [16:47] if not, you will hear a lot more "Allah akhbar" from me in the future [16:47] ianwizard: best i can think is alltray, a program that lets you put anything in the notification area [16:47] How is this so fxcking difficult? if Linux is so "superior" to windows, then how is it that I can have my wireless network card running as an access point, and "Internet Connection Sharing" to the WAN side of my network in TEN MINUTES, but I can't after TWO HOURS get it working in linux?

[16:48] hi there [16:48] rilax: what video driver? [16:48] MrPiracy, it seems you need help figuring out what grub2 is and what it does. Grub2 is just a boot loader - all it does is boot up an OS. You can install it to an extended partition but I find it works if you install if in the MBR. We used to install it on an extended partition or any other partition except the MBR because other OS's would not boot up or wanted to use the MBR exclusively, nowadays is not the case. You install gru [16:48] b2 in the Master boor record(MBR) and grub2 configures itself so that it is able to boot up your OS's [16:49] wols_, ati [16:49] rilax: the driver ati or the company? [16:49] ianwizard: please stop messaging people unasked. thank you [16:49] wols_, the drivers ati i guess [16:49] rilax: don't "guess" [16:50] wols_, i'm sorry i'm a beginner on ubuntu, and i am french so i don't always understand [16:50] can someone explain the operation of the pipe operation in bash, does it execute on a line by line basis? [16:50] hello everyone i was surfing around today and i found this site http://dev.compiz.org/~cyberorg/2009/04/01/finally-windows-users-can-get-compiz-easily/ i think some people need to re-examine what ubuntu is all about, we need to embrace windows and share some of these cool things to help to get the word out that windows is GOINGDOWN i only accidently found out about ubuntu, i never even heard the name untill i ffound this ro [16:50] om one night when i was wondering if my xchat was not wrokin, so i went to the room with the most users, [16:50] running karmic, remote desktop viewer starts up then closes down before a window opens...any ideas on what i should be looking for? [16:50] can I pipe directly into sort? [16:51] hi everyone [16:51] wols_: restored grub2 from live cd, booted into chamaleon, linux partition is on chamaleon menu, bingo: boots grub 1.97, karmic loads up, now i restart the computer, chamaleon comes up again, linux is there ... and BINGO: it's grub 0.97 [16:51] wols_, but my drivers are ati, i can affirm it [16:51] i have 2 ntfs hd on my computer. Why the transfer from one to another one is so slowly? [16:51] blocky: yep. that's fairly common, in fact. [16:51] wols_, mezquitale: please read my log file ... this is exactly what just happened! [16:52] MrPiracy, sorry I have to go but hopefully I pointed you at the right direction [16:52] anybody here uses intel gma965 OR 845 with karmic?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:23] so... whats the command to uninstall a language? [17:23] thank you Mathuin. what do all those letters mean in drwxr-xr-x ? [17:23] jkd4: the letters in that string are also explained in detail in the man page for "ls". The first letter describes what kind of file it is (in your case it's a directory) and the next nine letters are the three permission letters for each of the three categories of users. The permission letters are 'r', 'w', and 'x' for read, write, and execute. If a - is shown, then that particular user category does not have that permission. The [17:23] user categories are "owner", "group", and "world." So your directory gives the owner full read-write-execute permission, but only read and execute permission for group members and the world.

[18:38] bobstro: works fine on my macbook ubuntu but the ibm does not display them well [18:38] and when i try from source. it just keeps telling me to use disk [18:38] Madwill: thats beyond my understanding - please ask in #openoffice.org [18:38] ev0: have you changed the repositories to the old-releases ones?

[18:42] @almoxarife on the left hand side of the screen right click and see if you have any panel options, depending on your settings gnome might be making the panels but keeping them clear.

[18:57] jimius: doesn't seem likely to work either :) [18:57] andrevanzuydam: a rootshell with CORRECT environment [18:57] andrevanzuydam: sudo su is setting the environment wrong [18:58] hm, what I basically want to do is: have a pc with windos XP Pro (which will run an ERP). I want 3 different users to be able to log in to that PC from different linux machines. How can I do that? [18:58] iceroot : Cool - that's why I here to learn - I take it I can then compile and have fun as normal ? [18:58] andrevanzuydam: dont use a root-shell, use the normal sudo command [18:59] blekos: rdp client will work [18:59] hi people! a friend of mine has installed open-suse after ubuntu as a dual-boot, but it has fcked up his grub-menu now. is it possible to repair the ubuntu grub from a live-cd? [18:59] andrevanzuydam: sudo -i is equal to logging in as root... normal sudo will do [18:59] blekos: so xp will be a stand-alone box with 3 user accounts, right? [18:59] Here is the Wikipedia on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su_%28Unix%29 [19:00] dangit, how do i mount a dvd so i can watch it?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:00] Ok - but when i need to run a whole group of commands - ie compiling etc - its a pain to do sudo each time, what is the difference ? [19:00] not really. xp will be a stand-alone box. No need for 3 different accounts [19:00] progre55, it can be done, I don't think you need the live cd, unless you can't boot either OS, anyway, I will give you a hint, edit the grub.menu file or something like that, and then run grub-update or somthing like that [19:00] I would like to understand this properly [19:00] I have an file copy progress bar that refuses to close. What to do? :| [19:00] andrevanzuydam: sudo won't ask you every time [19:00] Here is the Ubuntu Documentation on Root Su and Sudo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:00] I want 3 users to run the same program (eg. openoffice) from the pc box [19:00] andrevanzuydam: sudo is caching the password [19:00] andrevanzuydam: there's a timeout [19:00] Has anyone gotten video in rhythmbox to work via: http://code.google.com/p/rhythmbox-videosource/ [19:01] tp43__: thanks, will try that now [19:01] dbailey, Ubuntu automounts, and vlc plays dvd, same with mplayer [19:01] xp will be smg like a mini-server [19:01] blekos: ##windows [19:01] blekos: its not related to ubuntu [19:01] blekos: 3 users on DIFFERENT linux boxes accessing 1 winxp box, right? [19:01] it is [19:01] Ok - I may be wrong but in my experience doing a make / make install without sudo doesn't normally work [19:01] tp43__: there is no grub-update. mb grub-setup? [19:01] progre55, I never did it lately, otherwise I would give you the precise file names, but you ls /boot and see the new names [19:01] blekos: using rdp on windows is not ubuntu-related [19:01] blekos: you can use RDP client on linux to talk to XP box just fine. as long as apps on XP will work that way, it will work fine. [19:01] iceroot: i think it is, because I want to know how 3 users can log in from ubuntu to xp [19:02] blekos: wups -- sorry -- not THREE users [19:02] blekos: you'd need terminal services on win for that. i think XP will limit to 1-2 [19:02] Thanks for the link Vigo [19:02] :S i don't think the upgrade from grub > grub2 went very well ... [19:02] blekos: but gnome-rdp is the piece you need on linux. works fine. [19:02] andrevanzuydam: You are very welcome. [19:03] i'm not sure if its a bug in the package , or in grub2 tho :/ [19:03] blekos: your bigger problem is that XP won't allow 3 connects simultaneously if that's what you want. [19:03] or even if thats the cause [19:03] Whats the difference between the normal ubuntu and the netbook remix version? [19:03] i c [19:03] straterra: Interface.

[19:04] straterra: Heavily customized gnome: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr [19:04] openoffice was an example [19:04] check this straterra http://eee-pc.ru/wiki/_media/eeebuntu:nbr_1_400.png?w=&h=&cache=cache [19:04] tp43__: well, neither of the OS is booting, so if I use the live-CD, would I have to mount the disc first? [19:05] blekos: use rdp with different users and again, that is not related to ubuntu [19:05] it's actually pretty nice. I've used it at one time. [19:05] actually what users will run is an ERP for the business I work [19:05] ok [19:05] Eh..I think I'll use normal Ubuntu, even though its going on a netbook [19:05] iceroot [19:05] progre55, when you boot the live cd, it will mount it, Do not umount it [19:05] tp43__: I mean, the hd partition where my ubuntu is installed [19:05] This link explains the Netbook and other releases and why: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [19:05] gnome-rdp was the answer [19:05] tp43__: oh okay, thanks [19:06] blekos: the answer to my question? [19:06] oops, never mind ) [19:06] progre55, yeah, you will probably have to mount boot, to edit that boot.menu file, find someone else or google for the exact file names. let me check one sec [19:06] nope, to mine === arvind__ is now known as arvind_khadri [19:06] Interesting link on sudo : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6188826&postcount=4 [19:06] and you can't run compiz with the nbr [19:07] progre55, if you type grub and hit tab, you will see lots of apps [19:07] tp43__: yeah I can see them, and I think grub-setup is the one, right? [19:07] Pessoal uma dúvida [19:07] Staff a question [19:08] progre55, yeah, but better google instructions first [19:08] andrevanzuydam: Thank you, that is a good example/explanation [19:08] tp43__: oki, thanks [19:08] What differences are there between Hardy Heron LTS and Karmic Koala that might cause the former to be installable and usable where the latter won't even boot as a Live CD, much less install? When I attempt to do so, after choosing either option, I either end up with the Ubuntu symbol and a locked up laptop or a blank screen with a blinking white cursor in the upper left (depending on the boot options chosen). [19:08] but you can switch between nbr and the regular gnome desktop... [19:08] how can i restart x server [19:08] progre55, I can't find the file, menu.lst, that is the one you wanna edit, and include both the suse and ubuntu kernels [19:08] Bottom line if you miss-use sudo you can mess up how your apps run [19:08] !dontzap | afsal [19:08] afsal: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [19:08] how can i uninstall a language from the terminal?

I am trying to run two webcams at once [19:10] sipior: im' on a small screen :P [19:10] who knows the command to uninstall a language via the terminal? [19:10] Aren: That sounds like the newer kernel version used might have a regression related to your specific hardware. Try using the acpi=off boot option, might help. [19:10] I installed ubuntu in a virtual machine, that program Virutal box, and can not increase the screen resolution in ubuntu. How do I maximize the screen of the virtual box in ubuntu is still small. I asked a friend of mine and he said I have to install the Virtual Tools, most do not know where it is and I lay with Linux.

[19:11] tp43__: sure I will, thanks for all the support man, appreciate [19:11] sipior: Hardy Heron 8.04 is known to be workable. Karmic Koala 9.10 and the Lucid Beta are both unusable. arand: I tried acpi=off, I still get a crash, but instead of the blinking cursor I get the white ubuntu symbol centered on a black screen....but still a crash.

[19:12] if i want to mount my dvdrom drive, do i use mount dev/cdrom0 or mount /media/cdrom0?

[19:12] ftab: the window control buttons, sorry, shouldve specified ;) [19:13] dbook82, go for GMount [19:13] New2LinuxGu1, it probably has that feature, but it won't save to where you want it to, it'll probably be in some obscure part of the drive [19:13] sipior: Toshiba Satellite, model number A105-S2131 with maxed out RAM and a 250 gig HDD installed. [19:13] Aren: also, are you sure you've downloaded the correct architecture image?

I'm trying to get an ssh tunnel working but I'm having problems. I used ssh -NCD 9999 bmorris@my-proxy-server.com and it seems to be working but firefox just keeps returning a blank screen. Anybody know what could be ging wrong? === rilax is now known as RilaX [19:47] bmorris: yES. [19:47] TimothyA: I doubt it, the whole point of log files is an enduring audit trail. They get rotated eventually, but not cleared too often... [19:47] while being in screen, is there a way to change the pwd? [19:47] ManDay: the 'pwd'? [19:47] ManDay: For what? [19:47] I have to clear them, orders from upstairs :/ [19:48] bmorris: Hre's what I do. I have a line in my ~/.ssh/config for a particular host that says DynamicForward 9999 [19:48] I am not allowed to defend or question its purpose :P [19:48] bmorris: I establish the tunnel [19:48] bmorris: Then I nominate localhost:9999 as my SOCKS5 proxy in Firefox. Done. [19:49] TimothyA: you can delete them all and then reboot. I'd like to know why someone thinks this is a worthwhile thing to do, though... [19:49] like I said; I don't know [19:49] and from prior experience, deleting them as opposed to clearing them creates even more headaches [19:49] KB1JWQ, I set up firefox to use the localhost:9999 proxy and that seems to be half working.. When I close the tunnel it says it can't connect anymore but when the tunnel is open it just returns the blankscreen. I believe the D flag is for dynamic forwarding [19:49] * Aren finishes extracting the image of his burned Karmic CD and starts comparing with MD5hash.

[19:50] bmorris: what kind of proxy did you set in ff? it has to be socks [19:50] llutz, SOCKS v5 [19:50] Err md5sum :P [19:50] numberGrey: /etc/event.d was for upstart right? if so, then it would be /etc/init [19:50] Losha, theadmin the current directory === user_ is now known as C-S-B-N900 [19:51] ManDay: Uh, cd? [19:51] erm [19:51] bmorris: being lazy, i just do -D port... but it should work [19:51] i dont think we are talking about the same thing [19:52] trism: if its not in /etc/init/, should I create it? or am I missing a package in my server install? [19:52] TimothyA: fine, but if I were you, I'd back them up first before deleting. The reboot should take care of any problems with deleted files. To be absolutely sure, you probably need to rm the file, then touch it, then reboot... [19:52] bmorris: you only set SOCKS as proxy in ffox? [19:52] theadmin, unknown command: cd [19:52] i have a weird connection problem, when i plug the ethernet cable, the green and orange green don't light up; now i was able to make it work by plugging in the cable during a sudo dhclient but i don't know what's going on [19:52] bobstro, yes, just firefox [19:52] Losha; .... [19:52] TimothyA: and look for a new job with better management...

[20:01] ori: maybe there is some way to tell the installer where it is but you will have to ask someone who have installed the game [20:01] TimothyA: You can use find with the -exec argument [20:01] theadmin, no i dont [20:01] trism: no, i am assuming it should if your asking [20:01] erusul: ok thanx [20:01] and which variables?

[20:02] moth_: Better boot with same version, but actually it shouldn't matter as long as you don't mess with MBR. [20:02] bobstro, yes. It's an ubuntu 8.04 box running the openssh-server package [20:02] erUSUL, screen normally opens in the current directory [20:02] trism: fixed it, thank you I really appreciate your help. I will document it so that that are resources online for the change. [20:02] it keeps saying "Missing argument to -exec" while there is an argument :| [20:03] if im not mistaken... [20:03] moth_: 8.10 will probably not be able to handle ext4 paritions; you should get a 9.10 livecd [20:03] moth_: But if you install Windows, it WILL mess the mbr.

[20:05] harovali1: feisty has no support, update to a more recent distro [20:05] Pretto: because if you use network monitoring, it will be "OMG, HERE'S THE PACKET!" and then there will be a failiure packet back to you. so yes, its painful to monitor network packet flow for this purpose, because you will have MANY MANY MANY non-relevant packets coming through at the same time :P [20:05] System: 9.10 eeePC 1005-HA-H [20:05] moth_: Oh.

[20:08] i guess it is in the mbr [20:09] theadmin: oops, didn't notice the -r booboo [20:09] Losha: :D [20:09] hello ubuntu gurus. I have a desktop with ubuntu 8.10.

[20:10] histroy [20:10] LocutusOfBorg, type history [20:10] bmorris: there was an issue with DNS and firefox with proxy. can you try opening a page by ip address instead of dns name? [20:11] TimothyA: find /var/log -type f -exec sh -c 'cat /dev/null > "$1"' _ {} \; [20:11] what's the sh -c for? [20:11] TimothyA: you can not use a compound (with a redirection) command in an exec statement afaik [20:11] bmorris: probably NOT your exact problem but worth a check. [20:11] oh and by the way, the write-protect notch on the SD card is ok [20:11] What's that {} \; at the end of every find command i see? [20:11] bobstro, That returns a blank page as well.

It should produce a zero length file. The tricky part is getting find to exec what is actually a shell command... [20:15] bmorris: try another port? [20:15] Losha: Hm, but why not, say "rm filename && touch filename"?... altho that's two commands [20:15] bobstro, internal gives a blank page as wel.. I'll try another port [20:16] theadmin: that works too. I suggested it to TimothyA about 15 minutes ago, but he insisted that he wanted to 'clear' the files, not 'delete' them, at which point I confess I gave up... [20:17] could someone give me a little help. I am trying to kick out Evolution from my ubuntu. but when I try to remove it from synaptic it says it will remove ubuntu-desktop. is that dangerous ?

[20:17] LocutusOfBorg: why? [20:18] hi everybody [20:18] THZone: why? [20:18] eclesia: No, it's a metapackage for much of ubuntu stuff but deleting it itself does not remove any of... stuff. No idea why it depends on evolution. [20:18] Losha: rebooting for logfile changes? m) [20:18] who knows hot to use telnet via ubuntu to send fake mails? [20:18] bobstro, ah there we go! The different port did it [20:18] Thanks a lot for your help!

[20:41] the disk is formatted, I did a fresh install an hour ago [20:41] why should we turn off compiz? [20:42] rajenbali: i assume you're using gnome. that takes up resources. what I meant by reformat is, "Try Xubuntu first" [20:42] My hp dv9000 broke last week so my friend has given this to me as charity, so itz mine until I break it [20:42] rajenbali: Xubuntu is a little bit more light weight [20:42] Anyone knows how to run startupscripts in ubuntu? Need to run a script before anyones logging on.. [20:42] arathald :D [20:42] yeah, but i like GNOME for its features and UI.

[20:45] can someone please help me get bluetooth runnung? [20:45] rajenbali: if you want xubuntu for light,, i think you should try to deactivate some gnome bells and whistles first,, and additionally take away lots of startup-programs :) [20:45] willa, if you installed the 32bit version before i suppose your machine is a 32bit machine [20:45] rajenbali: you could just install xubuntu-desktop if you have sufficient disk space [20:46] guys, sorry for being a pain, but am a complete noob here, most of the stuff you guys are saying would be appreciated with a bit of explanation [20:46] rajenbali: sudo apt-get install gnome-core [20:46] It is, but when I installed 9.04 last summer I set up a dual boot w/Vista (due to iPhone & Skype) with Ubuntu as the primary, at 3 not 4 [20:46] rajenbali: you can select from several desktops with ubuntu [20:46] I am a slow typer. My machine is a dual boot 64 bit [20:46] can ubuntu and fedora be booted dual [20:46] Is the Lucid Beta any faster? How long does it take to boot? [20:46] rajenbali: ubuntu defaults to gnome, xubuntu to xfce. you can have both. [20:47] I have a iphone and I don't dual boot [20:47] rajenbali: ubuntu is the base, xubuntu is ubuntu that uses xfce, kubuntu is ubuntu that has kde, all of which you can readily get whichever ubuntu you use.

[22:01] CrustyBaranacle: i beleive 86 [22:01] hello everyone! is there a simple way to hiberate/suspend an ubuntu computer per login shell? [22:01] Aeronious: if you disconnected and reconnected, it can take a few seconds. [22:02] Ellen, looks like you pasted too much in the channel lol [22:02] Aeronious: that's a simple-minded way of doing what they told you. [22:02] The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer.<------------How to fix this so I don't have to enter keyring password each time??? [22:02] Snofroe: videos require flash (libflashplayer.so) [22:02] bobstro, can change the static ip, if its not dhcp [22:02] shiloh18: ... I see... I also have HPLip which is an HP linux printing/imaging app.... though the same I don't use it either [22:02] Typos_King: Thanks, will give that a whirl [22:02] lol im back [22:02] Aeronious: it doesn't explain WHY it's happening [22:02] !flash | snoefroe [22:02] zoug_: he got an IP when he re-associated with the WLAN [22:02] snoefroe: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [22:02] CrustyBaranacle: how do i make sure it's installed? cause its obviously not [22:02] Aeronious: and this is happening only in the *nix session? tried yet in the win32/macOSX? same? [22:02] well now that I am connected, I have all of my address up (by clicking connection information) [22:02] zoug_: just picking a random IP is probably a BAD idea if they're paranoid about security. [22:03] The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer.<------------How to fix this so I don't have to enter keyring password each time??? [22:03] I have no windows/mac [22:03] Aeronious: when the wireless reconnects, it should give you an IP address. [22:03] bobstro: I have one [22:03] Snofroe: in the address bar, go to "about:plugins" [22:03] anyone know of an open source equivalent of 'GotoAssist' for Ubuntu? [22:03] bobstro, what if dhcp is off? we dont yet know that do we? [22:03] Ellen, lol wb [22:03] Aeronious: sorry i can't tell you exactly WHY it happens, but hopefully this is a work-around. [22:04] hey [22:04] hi , which package provides in 9.10 openssh server ? [22:04] i am using ubuntu 9.10 [22:04] but it said "No such device!" [22:04] zoug_: the rest of the university is ok. he is now connected. so yes, i assume it's ok. [22:04] my machine freeze i mean my os [22:04] Aeronious: but you are connected now? [22:04] and i have to restart xserver [22:04] harovali1: openssh-server [22:04] Aeronious: soooo, you don't know if it's THEM on the university doing any timing? [22:04] I think whoever got assigned my IP must have left or something [22:04] Ellen, /etc/resolv.conf , can you pastebin that>? [22:05] Aeronious: rather than your installion drivers or configuration [22:05] Aeronious: so you're on now? [22:05] yea hold on [22:05] what happens in #ubuntu+2? [22:05] my resolv conf only has this: "nameserver 192.168.0.106" [22:05] Aeronious: is this a mobile or desktop? [22:05] NinoScript: dark magic [22:05] But I need to know how I can fix this in the future, because I don't think that command is a reliable fix [22:05] laptop [22:06] Aeronious: i suspect the disconnect/reconnect fixed it. if it's working now, their DHCP is ok, your drivers are OK etc. [22:06] Azelphur: Lol :P I'd like to join and see what people are talkin about there… [22:06] CrustyBaranacle: it shows adobe flashplayer installe [22:06] Aeronious: oooook.... have you tried other hotspots, say some local cafe or the local library, if they also do the same to assess is your installation? [22:06] hi everyone [22:06] HOLA [22:06] I still think it's a coincidence, but I'll drop it for now I guess [22:06] desde sevilla [22:07] !es | henry [22:07] henry: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

My "about:plugins" states: " File name: libflashplayer.so [22:07] Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45" [22:07] trism: my 9.10 says it has no openssh-server candidate [22:07] guys, starting a couple days ago after a regular software update, my ubuntu box has become PAINFULLY slow.. i mean i click the applications menu.. nothing happens for literally 10 seconds, during which the CPU usage is normal, and nothing seems to be happening! i checked all the logs, had top running on a remote term to see if something is using resources.. nothing :\ [22:07] Every day I come to the library, it works perfectly for an hour, maybe a few minutes longer, then it disconnects and rarely reconnects [22:08] Ellen, try changing that to 192.168.0.1, since that is your gateway [22:08] what am i chaing to 192.168.0.1? [22:08] Ellen, your gateway most likely also does dns (this is a home network right?) [22:08] Aeronious: no coincidence... since you haven't checked, is not an uncommon practice for some 'public' hotspots to do such, the local library here used to, they don't now, but they also presented you with an information page before click OK/Connect letting you know your connection was going to drop in 1hr, and youhad to reconnect and that you didn't need to close your browser [22:08] Aeronious, i think its not the problem on your side [22:08] Ellen, "nameserver 192.168.0.106" === Augur is now known as Guest53340 [22:09] harovali1: try doing: sudo apt-get update; then try to get it again [22:09] I usually work around it by plugging into the wall, but as a University student, I don't get a page, I'm just automatically connected [22:09] Ellen, "nameserver 192.168.0.106" should be "nameserver 192.168.0.1" most likely (this is a homenetwork correct?) [22:09] zoug_: i suspect their dhcp lease is low, not setting up leases correclty [22:09] Aeronious: I should point out that even though they don't now, they still may drop the connection if there is 'idle' activity for a certain period of time, and you have to reconnect [22:09] harovali1: it is in karmic/main so there is no reason you shouldn't be able to install it [22:09] Hi! Can Ubuntu desktop (karmic) be setup to do xdmcp easily? [22:09] bobstro, yeah [22:09] I'm never idle [22:10] ok i will try taht [22:10] Aeronious: if you get that interface name, THAT is what you put in the dhclient line for [22:10] Aeronious: so i'd take a note :) [22:10] !flash | CrustyBarnacle [22:10] CrustyBarnacle, please see my private message [22:10] And "no such device" means it works?

[22:10] all four bars [22:10] Aeronious: no, when it connects it should show you the interface name [22:10] Aeronious: ok [22:11] Aeronious: that's not the issue, the issue is, you dunno what their policy and practice is on the provided connectivity, at least for now, try some other wireless hotspot at a local cafe, it'll just cost you a cup of coffee :P [22:11] Aeronious: i suspect their network isn't set up to be very friendly to anything not windows. [22:11] Typos_King: not an option, thank you [22:11] Ellen, did you change it? [22:11] bobstro: true [22:11] trism: it worked after apt-get update :-) thanks [22:11] Aeronious: then you don't know if they're doing it, or they're not [22:11] i reinstalled flash using synaptic along with an extra pluging for unsupported sound systems and how the videos are jumpy almost like fast forward can anybody help me [22:11] Aeronious: they're just assuming it works like windows, which is probably all they know. lousy attitude for a university. [22:12] Ellen, after you change it you need to run this command to restart networking (you will get disconnected from IRC if this is the same machine) [22:12] I have a dd-wrt router. I want to make it so that a request for the host ABC.locallan by a client connected to the router will resolve to an IP adress in another network. how can I do this? [22:12] Ellen: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:12] Typos_King: they told him to renew his DHCP address. [22:12] Snofroe: Go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [22:12] we have plenty of linux people here, they just don't service the university, they teach and research... [22:12] Hi, If I have a package in state RC in dpkg -l , how would I go about removing it? [22:12] bobstro, i hate those sysadmins [22:12] how do I print multiple photos on one page from f-spot? [22:13] well is there a resource I could point them towards to help them be more linux friendly? I don't use windows [22:13] bobstro: 'they', the receptionist, the 'techie', the guy with a pencil on his ear? usually the guy who can give good information on the services on many callcenters are the actual guys running the servers, sadly as I've found in tech calls myself.... sooooo, as of now, we dunno as far as I can tell, and Aeronious doesn't wish to check elsewhere if the same timing happens.... so [22:14] ok i did a sudo network restart? [22:14] it still says network is unreachable [22:14] I have a dual boot w/ Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 and am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10. Do I have to start all over again or can I simply upgrade from the Live CD? [22:14] Typos_King: I have wireless at home, which works all the time, if that's what you mean [22:14] My primary is Ubuntu [22:14] Ellen, you did this exact command right?

[22:17] eax, chmod -R 777 /path/to/mount/point [22:17] someone told me to do that to resolv the nameservers [22:17] Ellen, actually: what are you trying to do lol [22:17] Hi. Anyone know how to disable renaming of folders when double clicking on them in Ubuntu 9.10/Gnome? I'd like for it to not bring up rename, I only want to open folders when doubleclicking hem [22:17] Ellen, ifconfig in the terminal [22:17] Mike____: Thanks! :) [22:17] Ellen, remove dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 please [22:18] hey I'm installing Ubuntu 10.04 on my Thinkpad and my screen has went very dim during the installation.

[22:20] nowarninglabel, yeah === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever [22:21] zoug_: ok, yeah guess you have to go with an alternative then, that sucks when cron won't do what you want [22:21] nowarninglabel: never use sudo su [22:21] spain [22:21] nowarninglabel: its setting the environment wrong, just use sudo crontab -e [22:21] zoug_: are you editing YOUR crontab? [22:21] are you stupid? [22:21] zoug_: and you have root access on this box? [22:21] zoug_: cron will do it [22:22] bobstro, i dont want my crontab, i want roots crontab [22:22] thats where i was editing.. [22:22] zoug_: sudo crontab -e [22:22] and its not working [22:22] zoug_: sudo crontab -e ? [22:22] zoug_: and you can get root, right?

[22:22] zoug_: i'd put stuff like that under /etc/cron.d [22:22] Ellen, so did you remove it? [22:22] zoug_: dont use sudo su! [22:22] zoug_: you can specify who to run as there (incl. root) [22:22] iceroot, no i didnt, i su root then type crontab -e [22:22] patC: the key is stuck? what is that? [22:23] bb [22:23] zoug_: just use sudo crontab -e [22:23] zoug_: individual crontabs work, of course, but i like having all "rooty" stuff in one place for ease of maintenance [22:23] Typos_King, i dont think so it worked fine in XP === antivirtel is now known as antivirtel`afk [22:23] iceroot, its not working that way.. [22:23] zoug_: of course it is working that way [22:24] patC: the key is stuck? I don't even know what that means to begin with.. anyhow... different OS/apps will have different keybindings or mappings... who knows [22:24] zoug_: and what does "is not working" mean? [22:24] zoug_: if it doesn't work, then you've messed something up, possibly by setting up the root password and fiddling with stuff in a "non-ubuntu" way... [22:24] okay i found the reason why my ubuntu box slowed down to a crawl.. after i downgraded kernels, graphics drivers, and basically undid anything i suspected to have been involved.. [22:25] turns out the pulseaudio server on my windows box had crashed.. and since my linux box redirects all audio output there, that totally slowed everything down with the GUI [22:25] iceroot, this is an example crontab : 0 3 * * * halt and it doesnt work with using: sudo crontab -e or su to root then crontab -e [22:26] i also added a newline after the job [22:26] zoug_: there is no path [22:26] Typos_King, i mean the key seems stuck, no other key stroke registers after i press the fn key [22:26] zoug_: so cron dont know what "halt" is [22:27] spain [22:27] zoug_: 0 3 * * * /sbin/halt [22:27] !es | henry363 [22:27] henry363: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[22:29] zoug_: and dont use su! [22:29] hi [22:29] patC: it does the same in metacity wm, and in gnome wm.... might be a keyboard layout loaded [22:29] iceroot, any reason for that? just curious. [22:29] !root [22:29] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[22:30] iceroot, yup, su is bad idea. [22:31] BaconZombie: also that is the badest way to set the password [22:31] iceroot, thanks!

[22:37] itai, if it cannot read mpeg files you woould need to convert it again, i did that once, but i don't recall the program i used sorry === kiaas is now known as Bob_Dole [22:37] stsm, i used k2b before but it required alot of kde libs, is that still the case? [22:37] k3b... [22:37] itai: yes [22:37] itai, its a kde program... so yes [22:37] lol [22:37] I am running a multiple displays setup with a nvidia video card, and whenever i put something to fullscreen (ie. a movie, a game, or pictures) its run the picture through both screens and it is divided up in the middle. Is there a way to make it display only on one? [22:37] stsm, ok thanks, i will give it a shot [22:37] iceroot, i just wanted to chk [22:37] itai, but once you got the kde libs you can of course install many other kde tools aswell [22:38] itai, i think you will definitely like it [22:38] zoug_: check what?

[22:38] iceroot, that cron is opening synaptic [22:39] I'm probably asking this question for the zillionth time but should I install 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu? I have a core 2 duo 64-bit mobile processor and 4 GB of RAM [22:39] zoug_: i dont think cron is opening synaptic because synaptic is a gui-application [22:39] zoug_: but the syntax is correct [22:39] KikkyMonk, probably 64bit === nikolam_ is now known as ghost [22:39] can anyone help me with that? [22:39] I'm also running windows 7 64-bit if that helps also [22:39] iceroot, okay, so one more thing i did not know about cron. it doesnt open gui apps. [22:39] KikkyMonk, you could still use all of your ram with 32bit + PAE, but 64bit would make more sense since your CPU supports it === ghost is now known as Guest86460 [22:40] zoug_: not by default, because cron doenst know your screen === Shambat_ is now known as Shambat [22:40] Thanks. I'm at a Lan party with some friends. I got onto the wireless network they have and downloaded some games, but I went to connect to a network my friend set up for gaming.

[22:40] KikkyMonk, also why did you have to ask this so many times lol? seems pretty simple to me [22:40] woot_: do you have twinview enabled? [22:40] zoug_: you can test it with * * * * /usr/bin/firefox to see === Guest86460 is now known as test [22:41] Yeah, that's what I was thinking but is 64-bit well supported or are there issues with it? Also, is it possible to switch between the two without a full re-install (I know... probably not). [22:41] woot_ haven't done much dual-monitors myself... yet, but I know is a known issue, which I may add is the default configuration, to have the desktop span over [22:41] lol... a zillion and one times! [22:41] iceroot, i dont think that would open firefox === test is now known as Guest16332 [22:41] KikkyMonk, try it its pretty good supported [22:41] iceroot, let me try [22:42] zoug_: i dont think so too [22:42] yea i have twinview enabled [22:42] KikkyMonk, if something important doesnt work you just install 32bit [22:42] KikkyMonk, but its pretty likely your hardware will just work === Guest16332 is now known as nikolam [22:42] KikkyMonk: i have been on 64 bit for over a year now with no problems. i forget i'm on 64 most of the time. [22:43] KikkyMonk: just be aware that 3rd party stuff might only release 32 bit binaries. [22:43] That's fine so long as it works.

[22:56] blender from blender.org, in fact its blender 2.49b [22:56] [22:56] airtonix help dude [22:56] Maranatha: So I think that is the apt daemon, meaning that in some way pat is running, possibly update manager working in the background as suggested [22:56] anyone know why if I do find ./ -name *.cpp it works fine but find ./ -name *.h says "paths must precede expression" [22:57] Zenker, blender is one of the few tools I prefer to use the version built from the project site because of consistency with behaviour and features. [22:57] arand: I went to System Moniter and killed the Update Manager [22:57] arand, best ask it in #bash [22:57] blocky: are you quoting the *.h i.e. '*.h'. You need the quotes...

[22:58] arand, woops... i mean blocky [22:58] i'm not sure if this is possible, but can a shell script be coded so it executes arbitrary commands on a file thats dropped onto it?

See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [23:00] no [23:00] gaurav__: options are very limited, suggest using: https://launchpad.net/~gdm2setup/+archive/gdm2setup [23:00] dude [23:00] gaurav__, so knowing about ppas you can google : thing ppa. voila : https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [23:00] gaurav__, its very simple.

I'm using a Panasonic 32" viera. [23:05] 4 20 i cant help you with that srooy :( [23:05] DarkTao: the shell knows nothing about drag and drop, so if it's going to work, it's going to be done by your desktop manager, so you might look at the docs for that.... [23:05] Four20 : check that synaptic,update manager are not running [23:05] DarkTao: possible, yes, the OS uses a communication service, in win32 is called DDE I think, in *nix... depends, in kde is called dcopserver or just dcop and/or dbus.... gui apps use it.. as far as bash ones... dunno [23:06] anyone? [23:06] Four20, if neither of them are running there is most likely a lock file somewhere under /var [23:06] need help with D&D online i cant play it [23:06] DarkTao, also, if you open ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts (create the folder if it does not exist) and make a test blank file there... then right click on the desktop you will see a new entry in your context menu... seleect to open the scripts folder and you will get an intro to the variables used by the nautiluscript system [23:06] PsychoticEGG: did you make edits to your xorg.conf to get the tv display working? [23:06] gaurav__: You can't install gdm themes in karmic gdm, only change window control/border theme, icons and background image. [23:06] How?

[23:10] DarkTao: I once went to #openbsd with a question, and was treated *abominably*... [23:10] PsychoticEGG: that's what i'm pointing him to. [23:11] nope. thx. I'll read that before posting on here again. [23:11] DarkTao: all you need to do is create a launcher and have the command as /path/to/script.sh %F then whatever you drag on to the launcher will show up in the script as $1 [23:11] bbiab sorry [23:11] m00se: how do i install in [23:11] \/\/007 70 7ry!|\|9 [23:11] gaurav__: have you tried installing it via Synaptic Package Manager? [23:11] fantastic, thanks trism =D [23:12] PsychoticEGG: no guarantees -- that's just what i've found so far. [23:12] it not in srooy [23:13] how can i disable login/startup/shutdown/logout annoying sound in karmic? [23:13] I'm getting "Connection refused" when i'm connecting between two computers on my lan. I have MoBlock installed and i have disabled it but i'm still getting the error. could anyone help me diagnose this? (The port is 51234) [23:13] no how to install using synaptic package manger [23:14] MrPiracy: ubuntu, kubuntu? [23:14] Typos_King: ubuntu [23:14] ubuntu is great if they would just stop releasing betas as finals [23:14] trism, I'm making a script for secure remove, what do I use in the srm command to tell it its using the file being dropped onto it? [23:15] gaurav__: open synaptic package manager (system>>administration>>) then search for "wine" in the search box [23:15] gaurav__: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [23:15] jasonmchristos: can u name ONE os that has reached it's final version? [23:15] m00se you still here [23:15] MrPiracy: but they add all these pograms like mpathy to the final that are so buggy they are unusable for the average user [23:15] gaurav__: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb instead of my instructions. ;) [23:16] ist das deutsche chat? [23:16] DarkTao: well, %F in the command just expands to the absolute path of the file dragged onto the launcher, so you could just use it as an argument to srm I guess (although that sounds kind of dangerous to me...oops I didn't really mean to delete that) [23:16] wowa: no, [23:16] !de | wowa [23:16] wowa: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

Anyway, in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in the "Device" section, there is an option called "TVOverScan" and it's current is "0.6". You might try this in yours... [23:17] MrPiracy: System > Preferences > Sound, there's a tab for different alerts and sounds/notifications [23:17] m00se: i try it open with wine and it say C:/users/steven/temlis-8A1EP.temp/PostInstallRunner.dil [23:17] trism, yeah but how do i use it as an argument? [23:17] bobstro: PsychoticEGG: current -> current value [23:17] i get HUGE audio lag in skype. how do i fix this without removing pulse (all of my sound applets and pther controls go when i do so) [23:17] ubuntu-server is great very powerful and anyone can get it awesome A++ [23:18] Typos_King: i dont see that [23:18] can some help me [23:18] DarkTao: if this is in a bash script, the argument will be in the $1 variable, so you could do: srm $1 (assuming srm just deletes it's arguments, I've never used it before...that would work for normal rm though) [23:19] Good evening! I need to make some german umlauts. However, I'm using an english keyboard, how can I remedy this? [23:19] trism, okay I'll try that, one sec [23:19] Typos_King: there is a theme drop box for me too choose from 3 sound presets [23:19] DarkTao: probably want to quote it, in cause it has spaces in the path [23:19] what this mean C:/users/steven/temlis-8A1EP.temp/PostInstallRunner.dil [23:20] I'm running in low graphics mode; how do I fix that? [23:20] trism, well that was easy :D it just removed the file lol [23:20] i get HUGE audio lag in skype. how do i fix this without removing pulse (all of my sound applets and pther controls go when i do so) [23:20] so I just upgraded to 9.10 and now I can't get my 'older' ati card to hook up to the telly can any one help?

I'm on kubuntu.... soooo.... here is under 'notifications' ^_^... in gnome iirc is in that section [23:21] !list [23:21] sanguisdex: you need to install the drivers. look in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to see if it offers any or see !ati [23:21] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:22] wine in karmic koala plz give me a command to insatll it [23:22] asgard: i try D&D open with wine and it say C:/users/steven/temlis-8A1EP.temp/PostInstallRunner.dil [23:22] jasonmchristos: they don't really have any choice, since they've committed to a release date long before they know what shape the code is really in. Since the release date is fixed, they either have to drop features, or releae them before they're ready. I presume it's easier to release them and then update them later. It seems to take about 2 more months for a release to stabilise...

How do I de-activate it? [23:26] hi everyone! [23:26] DarkTao: yes, you could do something like xterm -e /path/to/script.sh; or the equivalent for gnome-terminal [23:26] trism, ah thank you :D [23:27] DarkTao: -x for gnome-terminal I believe [23:27] is there a way to configurate sendmail to use gmail's smtp?

If all you're doing is sending outgoing mails thru gmail you can usually get by with ssmtp, which is much easier to configure... [23:28] !smtp | FriedrichMan [23:28] FriedrichMan: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds.

[23:30] i am trying to add a printer that is at /dev/ttyUSB0. when i run the add printer wizard, then choose "other" for the device, it asks for a URI. entering localhost://dev/ttyUSB0 does not seem to work. am i not properly formatting it? [23:30] airtonix: bored with this now. let's move on [23:30] what I need is to somehow use it from a script... so whenever the crome finds it needs to send me an email about my system status it can do it [23:30] upgrdman, it does not simply get detected by the add printer app ? [23:30] IdleOne: none avaible [23:30] trism, right just one more thing! :P how do I make the terminal wait, for example after the command is complete, i have to press enter for the window to exit [23:31] sanguisdex: none of what? [23:31] hardbop200: network manager is in the notification area, the others may be as well [23:31] airtonix, no. its actually a vinyl cutter, and i need to add it as a raw printer for my software to be able to use it [23:31] DarkTao, trism , a while loop that waits for key input ? [23:31] trism: yes, that would be it. [23:31] !ati | sanguisdex [23:31] sanguisdex: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:31] airtonix, part of the issue is that it is a usb cutter, but it has a usb/serial converter build into the cutter. dmesg shows the proper modules being loading and creating the new /dev device for it [23:32] upgrdman, and in the past you've been able to use localhost://dev-etc-etc [23:32] #neibo [23:32] join #niebo [23:32] airtonix, never tried it before [23:32] help [23:32] Hi all!

[23:37] switchgirl, i dont use facebook. all i did was use : apt-cache search pidgin | grep face [23:37] hola [23:37] !paste | upgrdman [23:37] upgrdman: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Input is DVI to HDMI from and Nvidia 9800 GSO [23:38] PsychoticEGG: Did you see my msg about the overscan parameter? [23:38] Hi all! Audacity plays about 2-3 secs of my mp3 (if that) then stalls, What gives? [23:38] i having a printing problem [23:38] IdleOne, has pastebinit been fixed? or does one still have to use a script to pass on the proper domain to use? [23:38] ya. That was for dual monitors. and there was no solution in that thread. despite it saying solved [23:38] airtonix, http://paste.ubuntu.com/399596/ [23:38] airtonix: why use a extra plugin - why xmpp works [23:39] print jobs are stuck in the spool, even just printing to a pdf file with cups [23:39] is it possible to install xp alongside of 'buntu without having to reinstall 'buntu again? [23:39] switchgirl, no idea, like i said i dont use the plugin nor do i use facebook. [23:39] airtonix: pastebinit is broken on hardy. I installed the one from lucid onto hardy, and that worked... [23:39] dsnyders: why are you using audacity to play mp3s? :P use .. amarok or something [23:39] I have a question, does anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement for Microsoft OneNote? I've become somewhat addicted to the way I can freeform arrange notes and soem of the other features. === 14WAAETN2 is now known as kop_ [23:39] Nightsjammies: You need windows installed before Linux. [23:39] nightsjammies: what do you mean, 'alongside'? [23:40] airtonix: I have no idea [23:40] Losha, at the moment im using a script in ~/bin/pastebinit to send the supplied stdin and the proper domain name... [23:40] yeah, that's what I thought.. [23:40] airtonix: guess you could test it [23:40] Ciaphas: dunno OneNote.. what does it do? there's Tomboy notes, or Knotes, which are sticky-note pads [23:40] meaning, I really don't want to have to reinstall linux again. Oh well. [23:40] upgrdman, you think that line 14 is your device ? [23:40] Typos_King, I'm trying to use it to trim some "fluff" from a file - commercials, leading/trailing audio [23:41] nightsjammies: you don't need xp installed before linux, btw [23:41] i need help [23:41] Ciaphas: what the...... i was trying to look up the one note thing.... microsoft spy on you [23:41] nightsjammies: is simpler if you do, sure, but no mandatory [23:41] switchgirl: Wait, what? [23:41] dsnyders, does it do this with all mp3s ? [23:41] One Moment Please...

[23:41] yay for no script [23:42] i can play d&d [23:42] Ciaphas: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/default.aspx soo [23:42] airtonix, all the ones I've tried. It was working fine before my 8.10->9.04 upgrade. [23:42] Agreed. That and BetterPrivacy and Ghostery. [23:42] upgrdman, ok i also notice that you either have another printer or that lines 17 onwards are also something to do with your vinyl cutter [23:42] !pulse [23:42] !windows | switchgirl [23:42] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [23:42] switchgirl: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[23:43] i was talking about the fact ubuntu and freesoftware rocks while trying to look up the one note thing for Ciaphas so... umm yeah airtonix [23:43] <[Evan]> I'm sorry to ask such a simple-sounding question. How can I make a super-simple "hello world" deb package? Is there a sample "hello world" deb already out there that I could look at? [23:43] switchgirl, ciaphas? you mean ciphers? [23:43] herro [23:44] nightsjammies, u need to fix the boot loader after installing xp [23:44] No, my name. [23:44] okay. how do I do that? [23:44] [Evan], i believe there is such a demonstration. [23:44] nightsjammies: xp will kick out Grub from the MBR of the 1st HD, and will stick NTLDR, but you can use the live-cd to kick out NTLDR and put Grub back in [23:44] crap... this irc connection is a bit jumpy :} [23:44] (23:39:43) Ciaphas: I have a question, does anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement for Microsoft OneNote? I've become somewhat addicted to the way I can freeform arrange notes and soem of the other features. [23:44] umm..that's complete spanish to me me typos [23:45] [Evan], have you looked at this age yet ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [23:45] Okay, I'm running a LiveCD of Karmic Koala. I want to run the USB Creator thingamajig so I can run persistant files ( cannot install ubuntu on HDD as its not exactly mine, but ill be using it for a while). Anyway, I run the USB Creator, reboot, and BAM, when I try to boot it up it simply says 'Missing operating system' [23:45] Anyhelp? [23:45] any good walkthroughs that you know of Typos? [23:45] I tried the walkthrough to install it but its exactly the same as i did [23:45] <[Evan]> airtonix: No, I hadn't seen that. I'll check it out. [23:45] nightsjammies: gimme a sec, I'll paste something [23:45] switchgirl, ok. i have no experience with onenote. [23:45] dunno what i did wrong or if my PC can't boot the USB, but it shows up on the Bios Boot screen and when i attempt to bott it just gives me hat fuck up [23:45] switchgirl, there is something called basketnotes (or something). Many people, including me, are looking for a onenote replacement. [23:45] Okay, thanks much..:) [23:46] nightsjammies, good questions. I did that a long time ago but cannot remember... [23:46] [Evan], i think there is another page you''ll want on that site but it may not be linked from there (its an actual hello world example of a deb packing process [23:46] airtonix: nore i i was just looking it up as i havent come accross it and then i could suggest somthing for Ciaphas [23:46] Typos_King, Is there another app I could use to edit the mp3? [23:47] firefox work slow when i visited some website === gaurav_ is now known as Guest32174 [23:47] dsnyders, i have no experience with onenote, but does freemynd or tomboy or some of the wiki based note takers not do the job for you ? [23:47] * genii ponders npviewer.bin [23:47] I swear, my daughter is 4 going on adult >.< [23:47] ^^^haha [23:47] <[Evan]> GoldShadow: There are a million reasons firefox could be slow; please be more specific. [23:48] hey, has anyone bothered trying to get video to work in rhythmbox? [23:48] arirtonix: Wiki based note takers go some of the distance, but the ability to take screenshots directly into the app, flow text however you want without having to rely on markup, etc. are features we get used to in OneNote. [23:48] anyway Ciaphas dsnyders http://www.osalt.com/onenote [23:48] leave [23:48] quit [23:49] Ciaphas, i see. i use tiddlywiki with some extra plugins that provide wysiwyg note taking [23:49] i think that is from flash [23:49] Thanks switchgirl. [23:49] nobody has any help for an HDTV monior? [23:49] bliffle, /quit [23:49] airtonix, Not familiar with freemynd, but tomboy is too lightweight, and the wiki based note takers want you to format text using wiki markup, rather than wysiwig. [23:50] wine is not working right [23:50] Ciaphas: also take a look at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427 [23:50] wine never works right be more specfiic [23:50] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427 [23:50] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427 [23:50] dsnyders, ok, if your ok with using tiddlywiki you can get a plugin for it that lets you use fckeditor or one of the other wysiwyg editors [23:50] stevevn drink more [23:50] i can install nothing with wine like d&d online [23:51] kop_: lol [23:51] nightsjammies, using xp loader http://www.icpug.org.uk/national/linnwin/step1-xp.htm [23:51] steven_:reinstall that shit [23:51] ? [23:51] airtonix, does it let you cut/paste pictures into your notes? [23:51] nightsjammies: http://pastebin.ca/1849824 <-- not sure if you need to mount the XP partition, but it may be a better idea, anyhow, grub-install will kick out ntldr and put grub back in [23:52] !language | spidoodle [23:52] spidoodle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I'll take a look at both of those links :) [23:52] Hi guys [23:53] Hopefully a quick question, I don't seem to be able to use my bluetooth in ubuntu. The help page said to install gnome-user-share. I have, but still can't use it. [23:53] is 10.4 out [23:53] Any advice? thanks. [23:53] nutrulias [23:53] it say c:/user/steven/templis-8A1EP.tmplPostInstallrunner.dill [23:53] spidoodle: is it April 29th? [23:53] what this command means [23:53] nightsjammies: btw, I have a typo, is meant tobe 'mkdir', no 'mkdidr' :{ [23:53] but anyhow [23:54] Pici:no but i dont know i have looked into ubuntu in ike a year [23:54] dsnyders, down side is that its browser based(but then it'll work on any OS) so it might get a bit slow when you have lots of content...but its also portable. [23:54] Guest32174: what command? [23:54] Guest32174: are you sure you do not mean Nautilus? [23:54] airtonix, I'll check it out. OneNote hits a sweet spot though. Freeform enough to use during a lecture, but having bulletting, numbering, etc. Also, on a tablet it does handwriting and drawing. [23:54] spidoodle: 10.04 is scheduled to be released on April 29th 2010. More Lucid (10.04) discussion in #ubuntu+1 [23:54] dsnyders, sounds pretty sweet [23:55] Pici: hey thanks man thats good stuff right there [23:55] Nautilus [23:55] I am having trouble setting up vsFTPd. I can upload files, but in order to access them I keep having to chmod everything I upload [23:55] what is this command [23:56] Guest32174: nautilus is the genome file browser [23:56] and Ubuntu Fool Fish is due for April 1st [23:56] What is a good chat location for problems with LAMPP? [23:56] Lol, fool fish. [23:56] airtonix, sorry i closed xchat by accident. here is dmesg after unplugging and plugging back in the cutter: http://paste.ubuntu.com/399601/ [23:56] dsnyders, Zim looks like it doesnt require markup. [23:56] join #ubuntu-de [23:56] how can we use it [23:57] airtonix, and now one more line shows up from dmesg: [1190813.152944] type=1503 audit(1269302167.968:28): operation="open" pid=27304 parent=2163 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" requested_mask="rw::" denied_mask="rw::" fsuid=0 ouid=0 name="/dev/ttyUSB0" [23:57] upgrdman, ah yes have you used lsusb before ?
