[00:00] wjm: Try Google Chrome. Its much faster according to all of the tests Ive seen, and my personal use of it affirms that its much, much faster than anything else. [00:00] wjm: running x86_64? [00:00] no, x86 right now [00:00] it happens on both x86 and x64 [00:00] wjm: well there goes all my ideas [00:00] Systeck: no word of a lie dude [00:00] I've swapped out flash for gnash [00:00] and it still happens [00:00] and it's only two particular sites [00:00] * SysTeck bows.. till then this is what we have [00:00] ActionParsnip: hey parsnip.. You ever used phpsysinfo? [00:00] Anyone know why im getting this error when trying to run UEC? libvirt: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' (code=1) [00:00] wjm: try another browser? there are alternatives [00:00] I tried Chrome and FireFox [00:01] Darkstar1: not as far as I am aware [00:01] but FireFox produces an error message [00:01] Chrome doesn't [00:01] hi, i was in here the other day asking about and was basically successful in editing my grub config to change the default boot item [00:01] still freezes on the same two sites [00:01] wjm: can you paste bin the firefox error? [00:01] i'd like to change the default again but i don't remember what file i specifically should edit, since things are diff now with the latest grub [00:01] WhiteDawn: will do [00:01] paste.ubuntu right ? [00:01] i installed ubuntu 8.01 on a older machine today, it did well during install, nice screens, mouse and keyboard worked, then after installation it freezes when i try to go into X, so then i tried startx -- -depth 16 and it went, but then i have no mouse, and keyboard is unresposive [00:01] Wjm: try the firefox ppa. Chromium daily is sweeeet [00:01] what file do i actually change to update the default grub selection? [00:01] wjm: pastebin works too [00:01] ActionParsnip: using ppa right now 3.7-current [00:02] Wja: gotcha [00:02] abstrakt: /etc/defult/grub === mike is now known as Guest14999 [00:02] yeah, I'm technically minded :P [00:02] Eighteens: possibly force the vesa drivers? Had a similar problem with another distro once and the vesa drivers saved the day. [00:02] I just can't figure this out [00:02] lol [00:02] WhiteDawn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/400859/ [00:02] question from a new ubuntu user. how exaclty does one mount the dvdrom drive. is it put disc in and it runs like in windows or are there commands one must type in? [00:03] darkvoid82: just put the DVD in and wait for the pop-up asking you what you would like to do. [00:03] Hey FloodBot1 is your job protection or flooding? ^_^ [00:03] I think FD is file descriptors no? [00:03] iustinian, ok cool, got it, so now don't i have to run a grub update script or something? [00:03] eremite, i put a dvd in and got nothing [00:03] abstrakt: yes indeed [00:03] darkvoid82, is it a dvd video you want to watch? [00:03] darkvoid82: be aware of the fact that many DVDs do not work on computers due to copyright DRM. You need to install the proper codecs to break through that veil. [00:03] iustinian, k and what script is that? [00:03] hey, i installed flashplugin-installer from the repos, but when i go to youtube, it continues asking me for installing flash player. what's the matter? [00:04] wjm: what firefox version? how did you install it? [00:04] how to share internet connection with an ah-hoc wireless network (with GUI)? [00:04] whats the command line to foce a ps2 mouse, it worked during install, but wont work when X tries to load [00:04] abstrakt: update-grub [00:04] iustinian, k thx [00:04] Typos_King: with 3.5 at first - then tried PPA then tried Chrome [00:04] smerz: yes, eremite: ah that would make sense, any idea which codecs I might need [00:04] eremite: No, not so far.. [00:04] wjm: tried getting the .bz2 package from mozilla.org yet? [00:05] darkvoid82, install "ubuntu-restrictedextras" or something. hang on ill look it up [00:05] toyman61: what?" [00:05] not yet, that was gonna be the next idea [00:05] wjm: http://bit.ly/bhM23m [00:05] smerz: i've got the restricted extras [00:05] wjm: that's what I use, it requires no install btw, just unzip, and run [00:05] darkvoid82: open yoru add/remove apps utility and search for Restricted Extras\ [00:05] nm [00:05] dmdevotee, using lucid? [00:06] darkvoid82, "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4" [00:06] wjm: its in launchpad as a upstream bug [00:06] WhiteDawn: yeah just saw that [00:06] Lemme try that [00:07] darkvoid82, install that package. Then try putting the dvd back in again. Otherwise you could just open vlc (a media player I'd highly recommend) and select "File" -> "open disc" [00:07] eremite: i remember geting them, smerz: got thr libdvdread4 [00:07] ok I wanna buy an all in one printer that is fully supported in ubuntu [00:07] WhiteDawn: am I supposed to add this key/value to about:config or is it supposed to be there? [00:08] ubutom: lucid is name for 9.10? yes, lucid [00:08] eremite: No, I have not tried any other sound formats so far.. [00:08] wjm: should be there, if not you can add it [00:08] darkvoid82, then i'd suggest vlc media player. "sudo apt-get install vlc". Then under applications -> sound & video -> Vlc media player. Then "File" -> "open disc" [00:08] dmdevotee, no, 9.10 is karmic. well, never mind, i upgraded from 8.04lts to lucid and had some problems with flashplugin-installer too [00:08] toyman61: well them you should. === TrekCaptain is now known as Trek [00:08] hi guys, anyone around to give me help, just a few questions [00:08] darkvoid82, but normally a popup should come just like in windows [00:09] i installed a repo that had my nic and vid card drivers [00:09] sorry, my mystake, i am using 9.10 [00:09] smerz: ok thanks, i'll look into that [00:09] !ask | ar0n [00:09] ar0n: 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. :-) [00:09] can someone here help me with phpsysinfo pls? [00:09] it may of been like a restricted [00:09] i know sorry i have good manners [00:09] !enter | ar0n [00:09] ar0n: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:09] Dougwiser: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters [00:09] ubutom: i am using 9.10, the last stable, not the beta [00:09] ANyone? [00:10] smerz: no pop ups for dvd music cd or data cd [00:10] dmdevotee, no problem, I just thought maybe it was related. I couldn't remove or install it ;) [00:10] OK. But I have nearly 30 GB of sound-data in mp3-format. If I must convert them to i.e. Ogg-Vorbis I will go back to Windows again.. :-( [00:10] jesus really lol? so yes it was like a repo i had to add becuase ubuntu quit carrying it..anyone have any idea? [00:10] WhiteDawn: looks like FF is still freezing on the site though :( [00:10] is ubuntu the best? cuz im gonna play it [00:10] eremite: OK. But if I must convert my 30 GB of mp3's to i.e. Ogg-Vorbis then I will consider going back to Windows again.. [00:10] dmdevotee, tryusing software-center from menu and search for adobe [00:10] toyman61: look for fluendo mp3 decoder [00:10] hello [00:11] toyman61, why do you want to convert mp3 to ogg? I got all my music as mp3 [00:11] hello [00:11] toyman61: it is a legal gstreamer plugin [00:11] dmdevotee, I just installed the firefox extension and flash works fine now [00:12] wjm: apparently its a bug in the PPA for firefox [00:12] WhiteDawn: yeah it's affecting 3.5 and 3.6 though too [00:12] smerz: I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bits) and have migrated from Windows. I have lots of mp3's, but I am not able to get any sound through my loadspeakers.. [00:12] last time i checked mplayer was working ok with mp3s [00:12] also happens in Chrome [00:12] :D [00:12] smerz: Somebody told me to try another sound format. Then I suggested Ogg-Vorbis.. [00:12] toyman61, well rest assured. That has nothing to do with your music beeing in the mp3 format [00:13] i can't even install it from http://get.adobe.com/es/flashplayer/ for firefox [00:13] !tab [00:13] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:13] toyman61, so you get no sound whatsoever that's your issue right? [00:13] smerz: I know. But I have installed restricted formats-package, and was trying to play a music CD through Rythmbox. But no sound whatsever.. [00:13] toyman61: check your mixer setting/sliders [00:14] Typos_King: I have set all my mixer settings (alasmixer) to max. [00:14] some channels are muted by default [00:14] toyman61, I dont think its a format issue. mp3 is just fine :). Do you have multiple sound cards? [00:15] smerz: Only one sound card. Works great under Windows XP SP3. I have only disabled the Windows disk and installed Ubuntu another disk. [00:15] another disk = on another disk [00:15] toyman61: what soundcard is that ? [00:15] toyman61, alright. Right click on the speaker icon at the top right. Select sound preferences [00:15] Hello. I have an application I am trying to run fullscreen, but the task bar and other bar still show up and take up considerable space. How can I get them not to show up when running a game in fullscreen? [00:16] toyman61, select the "output" tab. There will be multiple outputs for your soundcard. Try them all while playing music. Make sure sound isn't muted in either the music player or the icon @ top right [00:16] iustinian: Realtek audio (embedded on the MSI motherboard) [00:17] amaurea,right click on the bars and selec auto-hide [00:17] smerz: I will [00:17] amaurea: you could set the bar to auto hide, [00:17] realtek should be just fine toyman61 [00:17] Do i have to use screen to have rtorrent running [00:17] toyman61: what does -> lshw -C sound; give you as driver? [00:17] Do i have to use screen to have rtorrent running while doing other things? [00:17] Fresh: i think so [00:18] ehmm. [00:18] Fresh: unless rtorrent is working as a frontend for a demon [00:18] can u help me?? [00:18] Fresh: if you want to run a program in the background and its in cli, put a "&" at the end of command [00:18] i have some problems [00:18] i use deluge in command line [00:18] smerz: The sound was simply muted.. I just found out. Works fine now. Thanx to everybody for helping me with this!!! [00:18] toyman61, you're welcome [00:18] Hello? [00:18] iustinian: how do i acess it after the ampersand [00:18] ubutom, WhiteDawn: ok, I'll try that. I do like to have the bars there when I'm in normal resolution, though, and the game isn't in full screen. What does the expand option in the panel properties mean? [00:18] How do you install software from a ppa?? [00:19] helllooo.... [00:19] help me out [00:19] kidovate: You add the PPA as a repository and then search for softwares as you normally would [00:19] sik4mpret: ask the question, then ppl will help you [00:19] sik4mpret, ask a question [00:19] But here's another problem: My D-Link DWA-140 installed fine, and it works! But I only get 54 Mbps speed even though both the adapter and the router is 802.11n. How do I solve this ? [00:19] if you deavtivate it it gets thinner amurea [00:19] kidovate, you need to add the ppa to /etc/apt/sources.list [00:19] whitedawn: how do i get back to it after i use & [00:19] if you deavtivate it it gets thinner amaurea [00:19] kidovate, next you need to import the ppa key [00:19] Typos_King: Problem solved. The loudspeaker was muted. But thanx for your interest! [00:19] smerz: there's a better way than that, you shouldn't be adding it to/etc/apt/sources.list directly .. there's a command whch adds it to /etc/sources.list.d [00:19] Fresh: that i don't know, you can kill it though if you want it to quit [00:19] kidovate, now you can just use "sudo apt-get install packagename" or the package manager to install [00:20] harisund, oh can you give more info on that? I never heard of that [00:20] toyman61: 802.1n is pretty much still experimental it depends on the actual implementations [00:20] WhiteDawn: im getting closer to answering this question [00:20] harisund: I added it but I cant find the software... Can you recommend how? It's here - https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa [00:20] smerz: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name [00:20] heh [00:20] WhiteDawn: thank you [00:21] harisund, and that takes care of the key as well? [00:21] is there any need to purchase RE3 or RE4 server drives if I am running RAID1, seems with the fault tolerence I could run 2 black editions and save 150 bucks.... ??? [00:21] iustinian: But I thought the IEEE 802.11n standard had gone from experimental to a clear standard. [00:21] smerz: I believe so yes [00:21] Fresh: no problem [00:21] harisund, well thanks thats good to know :) [00:21] kidovate: Once you have added it, do an apt-get update and search for the package [00:21] smerz: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware [00:21] It works great on Windows XP SP3.. [00:22] toyman61: indeed but not all the producers have updated their lines of products [00:22] harisund: I already did. I cant find it [00:22] kidovate, "sudo apt-get update" You need to update the repository first [00:22] can someone help when i try connecting to my webpage through filezilla it wont work and no-one is on the offical page [00:22] smerz: I already did that [00:22] smerz: apparently he did. kidovate if you did, are you searching for the packagename correctly? [00:22] That's what I asked you [00:23] The listed name doesn't seem to work... [00:23] iustinian: I see. D-Link does not offer Linux-drivers for this adapter, but there is drivers available for Ubuntu. One driver is shipped with the 9.10-edition.. [00:23] kidovate: boost1.38 is what youare trying to install? [00:23] Yeah [00:23] Not showing up [00:23] toyman61: if N is implementd in the kernel module it should work [00:24] how do I give a secondary drive formatted with ext4 read/write priveliges in karmic [00:24] iustinian: How do I find out ? I'm a newbie on Linux... [00:24] harisund: Not found [00:24] does anyone know anything about filezilla? i really need help? [00:24] When I do a apt-get install [00:24] rixxy, you could change the owner:group assignment [00:24] in users and groups? [00:24] kidovate: let me check, is that the package you are trying to install though? [00:24] rixxy, no each file has an owner and a group assigned to it [00:25] harisund: Yes [00:25] toyman61: u need to check the changelog on the kernel modules sources i guess [00:25] rixxy, normally the owner has read/write [00:25] smerz: so the default user created? [00:25] come on guys dosnt anyone know ho to upload files on filezilla?# [00:25] rixxy, if not you may have to change those permissions. But you need to check where the issue lies. Either wrong owner/grp or wrong permissions. Both can easily be fixed [00:26] iustinian: That seems to be a too heavy job for me... I know Windows (and computers) very well, but I am not that familiar with Ubuntu.. [00:26] chmod 777 on the mounted directory [00:26] billy_, you're trying to use ftp right? [00:26] or chown to own it [00:26] alright, i will try it and get back here [00:26] chmod 777 works but could be overkill. I'd suggest chown as the most likely culprit [00:26] thanks, smerz! [00:27] yeah but it wont let me upload? === chris__ is now known as acad32 [00:27] billy_, any error messages? [00:27] no it says it cant connect [00:28] billy_, it doesn't give a reason (timeout for instance) ? [00:28] yh but im only on it for about 2 minutes [00:29] harisund: Never mind, I found it :) [00:29] it says failed to recieve directory? [00:29] oh boy [00:29] billy_, [00:29] ah === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [00:29] it says failed to recieve directory? [00:29] billy_, is the ftp server managed by you?

[00:55] ar0n, i take it you tryed the lucid beta [00:55] wrong... so, anyone know what i'm missing? [00:55] yes [00:55] lol [00:55] ar0n: done or not. this channel is not for lucid support so you wont be getting much if any help with it. [00:55] abstrakt: yes it would do you have a display manager like kdm installed? [00:55] im not asking for it [00:56] ar0n: /j #ubuntu+1 [00:56] histo, yeah i logged in using kdm [00:56] or for anyhelp about it. im asking simple ubuntu help [00:56] ar0n: ok then like I explained to you yesterday about the fresh install and separate /home :) [00:56] abstrakt: and kde doesn't load? [00:56] histo, when i installed kubuntu desktop, part of the configuration process asked me if wanted to use kdm or gdm, so i figured, hell i'll use kdm [00:56] he not looking for help with lucid he wants to go back to 9.04 or 9.10 [00:56] i was asking more spefic questions sorry [00:56] histo, apparntly not [00:56] histo, i can run konqueror from the terminal, but there's no window management happening [00:56] bloodrock: yup, got it :) [00:56] ... [00:56] abstrakt: make sure you select on kdm you want kde as the default session [00:57] bloodrock its ok thanks for the help [00:57] sje46: thank you very much, it's solve [00:57] etzerd, no problem :) === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth [00:57] histo, that shouldn't really matter though should it? [00:57] histo, i guess i'll try one more time and explicitly select KDE [00:57] brb [00:57] ar0n: would you like the link for the separate /home? [00:57] or do you still have it? [00:57] sje46: do you tried the new version 10.04 Beta1 yet? [00:57] no i still have it, i dont think its what i want [00:57] abstrakt: you said your just getting terminal sounds like its loadin failsafe [00:57] etzerd, I have not. I don't even know how to [00:57] ar0n: ubuntu does not have a revert back to previous install feature [00:57] it wont help me save anything i cant get with a live cd, wont save settings etc [00:58] ar0n: so the only way is to do a fresh install [00:58] just download the beta version and install [00:58] !downgrade | ar0n === sexghost is now known as sunkoo [00:58] ar0n: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:58] so format a must? [00:58] ar0n, ... or just restore from your last backup. [00:59] who can help me [00:59] etzerd, ah, okay. I think I'll wait until it officially comes ou tthough [00:59] ar0n: only the install partition and the installer will do it for you [00:59] because the last version 9.04 don't work with my new Dell Inspiron laptop [00:59] ar0n: pretty much thats the easiest way. If you want to save all your files and settings just make a seperate /home [00:59] etzerd: what happened? [00:59] oh so will i point the new isntall at the other home i make? [00:59] ar0n: yeap it will then mount it on boot [00:59] so it will use that info or just for back up purposes... [00:59] histo: i know what is wrong [01:00] ar0n: you have to use the same username on the new install as you did on the old one though [01:00] Hello. Is somehow possible to get pytube for ubuntu, or some simillar app? [01:00] it does not recognize /dev/sr0 [01:00] ar0n: no, you point the install to where the old install is. your /home contains your data you dont want to format [01:00] yourmghq|skype: huh? [01:00] since I bought that laptop last month when I install the 9.04 version the screen went black, no graphic [01:00] my dvd+rw [01:00] histo my dvd+rw [01:00] IdleOne: thats if /home is on a seperate partition [01:00] yourmghq|skype: ahh did you get it working? [01:00] histo: from what I understood yesterday, it is already. [01:00] histo, aight, so KDE loads when I explicitly select KDE [01:00] IdleOne: ohh yeah he's good to go then [01:00] histo: sadly no, it does not know what /dev/sr0 is [01:01] i tried burning in gnomebaler [01:01] because the video card is an Intel Accelerator HD which is not support by any of the distro out there [01:01] hmm ok.. IdleOne om *not sure, it was a regular install.. [01:01] I have a bluetooth keyboard [01:01] histo i tried burning in gnomebaker [01:01] abstrakt: yeah it sounds like it was loading a failsafe session where all you get is X and an xterm [01:01] histo, however, no internet... gnome works with both my wireless card and my WWAN === sunkoo is now known as sexghost [01:01] histo, yeh, kinda dumb imo, why isn't kdm already preconfigured to load either the last default or at least KDE, since it's kdm [01:01] abstrakt: you may want to ask in #kubuntu I only have used gnome and other things [01:01] histo, actually don't answer that question [01:01] lol [01:01] i don't care why [01:01] ar0n: ok well then take a look at the link ubottu gave you yesterday and you should be able to figure it out. the instructions are fairly simple if followed carefully [01:02] abstrakt: well kdm or gdm can be used dosn't matter they don't care which one you want to load. [01:02] yeah. im just confused as to what the benefits of saving it will be [01:02] ar0n, use a livecd open gperted to ee how the partitians were setup [01:02] ar0n: all your data and settings will be saved. If you have nothing then it doesn't mater [01:02] a fresh install would be nice anyways..cause i didnt literally touch it after the first install [01:02] ar0n: well if you have a lot of media files you don't want to lose [01:02] not enough i thikn, just some pictures i can get via live cd [01:02] histo, better yet, how do i actually bring up my wireless interface on cli [01:03] ar0n: if not pop in the cd and go for it :) [01:03] ar0n: but I always create a seperate home when I install [01:03] histo, i'd rather just know that, i've done hardline ethernet plenty of times [01:03] abstrakt: what type of wifi are you connecting to? [01:03] hey histo why in the dev file does dvd not have a dvdrw file while cd also has a cdrw [01:03] histo, but never done a wireless on a laptop [01:03] abstrakt: is it wpa2 or anything goofy? [01:03] ar0n: with the version 9.04 to work I have to use VESA and the resolution no more than 1024X768 which look very ugly. [01:03] its moer like ff settings, desktop settings [01:03] random stuff.. [01:03] sorry, I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse which pair via 'sudo hidd --search' but [01:03] etzerd perhaps get the restricted rep [01:03] ar0n: that is simple enough to reset. [01:03] anybody knows if there is any way to download djl from repos [01:03] yourmghq|skype: I don't know mine works as /dev/sr0 [01:03] histo, well, either any sort of wireless LAN like no-password/WEP/WPA etc [01:03] repo* [01:03] but the new version 10.04 works fine with it [01:03] idle yeah [01:04] histo, i also have an AT&T wireless card that "just works" under GNOME [01:04] abstrakt: well wpa2 gets a bit goofy with iwconfig [01:04] ar0n: so your issue now is, what are you waiting for :) [01:04] yea histo it says it does not recognize [01:04] im not worried i just got to get it done shes bitching, so im kinda doing my homework so i can not have to *stop* and google [01:04] abstrakt: but basically you want to use iwconfig to set up wifi [01:04] hi everyone! [01:04] idle windows = [01:04] I did tried all that none of it works, [01:04] !wireless > abstrakt [01:04] abstrakt, please see my private message [01:04] how do I get the restricted rep? [01:04] i had to put this on for her, but i just noticed, it looks like it ate the grubloader [01:05] yourmghq|skype: thats wierd... I would searchj for your make/model of dvdrw on the forums and see if anyone else had an issue [01:05] histo, thx [01:05] anybody knows if there is any way to download djl from repos? [01:05] !info djl | dmdevotee [01:05] dmdevotee: Package djl does not exist in karmic [01:05] its in settings or pref or something [01:05] dmdevotee: what is djl? [01:06] hello all [01:06] histo it is memorex [01:06] ar0n: how to change the look of the boot manager? I hate it because it look like DOS, I rather have it with a graphical interface [01:06] yourmghq|skype: not the media the actual drive itself [01:06] o ok [01:06] dunno sorry [01:06] etzerd... lol - GUI or bust. >_> [01:06] etzerd: you spend much time looking at the boot loader? [01:07] histo: i type !info djl in console. bash: !info: event not found [01:07] IdleOne, thank you [01:07] i installed ubuntu on my new hdd and it finally boot... after restoring all the files from my backup drive (except the boot directory, obviously) GRUB now says: "error: out of partition" again please help! [01:07] etzerd: its only open for 10 seconds, lol. Does it matter that its not graphical? it loads much faster. [01:07] dmdevotee: no djl is not in the repos as far as I can see. it looks like a script you download [01:07] histo: djl is a platform similar to steam [01:07] histo it is a optiarc cd-rw [01:07] dmdevotee: and just extract and run the script [01:07] I don't, I just choose which OS to load, but it just look ugly, I rather have a GUI look instead. [01:07] histo: there is no way to add more repos? [01:07] yourmghq|skype: yeah try searchign for it on the ubuntuforums.org and see if anyone else is having issues with it. [01:08] djl is on mandriva repos [01:08] dmdevotee: yes you can add unofficial repos. [01:08] etzerd: I hate to say this but ummm seriously dude! [01:08] dmdevotee: hold up let me check something [01:08] what is the easiest way to create a complete mirror of a apt repository? I have a device with one pcmcia slot and a pcmcia cdrom and cant both use the cdrom and use a wireless card [01:08] thx [01:08] etzerd, That it looks ugly is 1) an opinion and 2) pointless. It's not open long, it's faster this way, and we adults can handle it. [01:08] In Glade & C coding, how can I have a GtkTextView that acts similar to terminal (previous entered lines not editable but at prompt and after it is) [01:08] * Aryeh shrugs [01:08] Sorry if that's harsh bud. [01:09] deserteagle, what version of ubuntu [01:09] please someone [01:09] ok, I take that back [01:09] 9.10 [01:09] etzerd, there's a graphical grub package somewhere, i know because i looked into it myself [01:09] etzerd, i was even looking into customizing the look [01:09] and there's a way to do that too, i remember [01:10] deserteagle: How much does it slow load time? [01:10] deserteagle: where? [01:10] eremite, NONE, lol [01:10] etzerd, this would be where google comes in handy =\ sorry it's been a while ago [01:10] deserteagle: how is that possible? You would need to load a X session or something prior to loading anything graphical. It MUST slow it down a lot. [01:10] if I could even BOOT, i'd be looking into it as well lol [01:10] * Aryeh shakes his head in disproval [01:10] eremite, negative, it doesn't work on X [01:11] what's the terminal command to list available groups?? [01:11] etzerd, try this for grub2 http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html#mozTocId16468 [01:11] Soon we'll be hearing about how the shell should have colorful avatars bouncing around and stuff [01:11] does anybody know how to at least make a apt mirror locally? [01:11] dmdevotee: it looks like you just download the script and run it. I don't see a repo for it anywhere. http://en.djl-linux.org/?q=node/19 === Mowiiii`Aw is now known as Mowee [01:11] It's like part of the window manager as failed on my ubuntu machine - none of the windows have any title bars... anyone know how to fix this? [01:11] restart x? [01:11] eremite, keep in mind, it's graphical, but not like a desktop environment [01:11] histo thanks [01:11] Aryeh, check this out: people like you are what hold linux back [01:11] Is there a command for listing groups? [01:12] reason why I switched to full blown linux: OPTIONS my friend [01:12] <[[thufir]]> I'm stuck in, I think, fvwm-crystal and cannot logout. there are no logout buttons. [01:12] it's a pain...now i have to run the script everytime i want to execute it :( [01:12] try and do whatever you please, because linux allows it [01:12] dmdevotee: there are people talking about it on the forums also [01:12] deserteagle: you need to load a xserver equivilant in order to use graphical ANYTHING, so it must slwo boot times. Even if you dont notice a 2 second lag or whatever, im sure it exists. [01:12] dmdevotee: you could create a launcher [01:12] Anyone?? [01:12] deserteagle, sorry? I think I'm a pretty liberal guy with the advances we make, but I really do have to draw the line at complaints over something like a bootloader because it's "ugly" [01:12] deserteagle, what version of ubuntu did you reinstall that gives you the out of partitain error === homer is now known as Guest91920 [01:13] aurilliance, if you turn off one of the compiz windows things, it comes back, don't ask me which one. btw, when is the last time you used it, once in a blue moon I move a windows, but you can use alt+left click on those rare occasions, besides that the new zooming and tab switching makes the top bar obsolete [01:13] lo [01:13] britt, if you don't mind me asking, what brings you to that conclusion? making an apt mirror (as far as I understand) would take a looong time downloading all the packages [01:13] bloodrock, 9.10 [01:13] Could someone help me please. In Glade or GTK coding, how can I have a GtkTextView that acts similar to terminal (that is previous entered lines not editable ) [01:13] just need a yes or no answer from anyone... Is there a command to list available groups?? [01:13] Aryeh: the beauty of open source and freeware is that people are free to use it however they choose, regardless of how irrational those decisions may seem to some. [01:14] DarkStar1: yes [01:14] DarkStar1: gooogleoogleoogle! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150211 [01:14] histo: http://pastebin.com/iM5kbgyq [01:14] deserteagle, k and what backup restore did you use [01:14] Aryeh, if there's someone out there requesting it, there's a demand. Whenever there's demand, there's the opportunity for a need to be met. Heck even Dell agrees with me (their newest BIOS are completely graphical) [01:14] deserteagle: thats cool. its a bit involved, but basically it boils down to i need to install ubuntu on a machine that cant both install ubuntu netinstall and access a remote apt repo [01:14] eremite, Even when irrational moves into the realms of the asinine? [01:14] bloodrock, good ol' copy paste :p [01:14] DarkStar1: learn to use google instead of asking the same question 20 times. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/41672-command-view-list-all-users-groups.html [01:14] deserteagle, or backup program to do the restore [01:14] deserteagle: so im going to create a deb repo on a flash drive (i only need i386) for installation [01:15] Aryeh: opinions are subjective. Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant. [01:15] britt, oooh i see [01:15] hi everything on my computer works except my logitech quickcam microphone. video works [01:15] how do I get the mike working? [01:15] britt, it's going to be HUGE though =\ [01:15] Hello everybody.Hopefully all are well today...I am curious...my girlfriends brother [who lives in the house with us] is basically a comp geek.How easy is it to "infect" a linux system [Xubuntu} with a "keystroke logger" ? I'm not really worried about anything other than bank info [01:15] deserteagle, But how long do you look at BIOS when you're working in it? Now how long are you looking at GRUB when it pulls up? A graphical BIOS is slightly less asinine than a graphical GRUB [01:15] !google > Kre10s [01:15] Kre10s, please see my private message [01:15] eremite, that's *your* opinion [01:15] I just wanted a quick answer for a simple command as opposed to trawling through webpages of documents [01:15] I need to run the command iwconfig wlan0 power off on boot, but regardless of whether anyone logs in. where is best to put it? [01:15] britt, but you can put the installer ISO on a jump drive! :D [01:16] buntu buntu [01:16] faron: Its easy to install keyloggers. [01:16] yourmghq|skype: you've eliminated it being a media issue right? [01:16] that's what I thought [01:16] deserteagle, did you try editing commands at bootloader [01:16] deserteagle: cant boot from USB, only from a PCMCIA cdrom [01:16] Aryeh, again, opinions are subjective: Bill Gates once though 256kb of RAM was MORE than enough for ANYONE [01:16] deserteagle: 640k [01:16] britt, hmmm... [01:16] britt, that, thanks :D [01:16] Aryeh: it is hardly my opinion that opinions are subjective. Read a dictionary and study *logic*. [01:17] bloodrock, nope. Should I? [01:17] I'm not really even worried about that.It's just that my girl made me [slightly] nervous ha ha [01:17] deserteagle: intresting situation isnt it haha [01:17] eremite, I was refering to your *opinion* that my opinion on the matter was irrelevant. If you can't keep up, best not to join in. ;) [01:17] faron is this a shared system or your personal system? [01:17] deserteagle, Lol, yeah - well... that's Gates... [01:18] this is personal [01:18] deserteagle: back when i started in computers, i too thought 640k was alot. and it was for dos 3.3 [01:18] Aryeh: how is yoru opinion of someone else's use of a computer relevant to their use of a computer? Get lost, troll. [01:18] aaaaand this conversation is now off topic [01:18] 640K IS ALL WE WILL EVER NEED [01:18] hi, when I click on the fullscreen button in deutsche welle site it is not using full screen, but for for some weeks it was, what is my problem? [01:18] but him being a geek I'm sure he knows wasys around things [01:18] woops caps [01:18] britt, I remember when you could back up your whole computer on a floppy. >_> [01:18] deserteagle, yeah try see if can find correct partitain ubuntu was loaded to and did you had it loaded to the mbr or the partitain [01:18] again...not that I'm really worried about anything [01:19] britt, so the CD installer won't work for ya? [01:19] eremite, Wow... straight to the troll card. I'm going to pretend like you just don't exist now... [01:19] faron: safest thing to do is to never use a computer for the rest of your life. Ever. [01:19] heh heh heh I hear ya [01:19] * eremite /ignores Aryeh [01:19] disable cd booting in bios and add a bios boot password to limit access [01:19] <[[thufir]]> how do enable ctrl-alt-backspace to kill xterm? [01:20] I need to run the command iwconfig wlan0 power off on boot, but regardless of whether anyone logs in. where is best to put it, please? [01:20] deserteagle: so the deal is this - i made a ubuntu alternate install image for this computer. I can only boot from the PCMCIA cdrom, but i cant use my pcmcia wireless card to complete the install ;) [01:20] bloodrock, but what I don't understand is: if it was booting before and all I did was copy paste files that didn't even touch the boot partition, why won't it load now? this is soooo frustrating [01:20] hey eremite...thanks for the info anyway my friend [01:20] hal, you just don't want to use that device, ever? [01:21] greezmunkey: no, it's not that - it just disables power management [01:21] britt, then... hmm... well, if you already installed it, just download each package, copy to a jump drive and install on the other PC, no? [01:21] deserteagle, well what folders did you copy paste [01:21] britt: you shouldn't need wireless to complete the install [01:21] and power management causes the if to stop working [01:21] * gaveen could tell hal if he opens the pod bay door an let him in [01:21] i know this probably isnt the plave to ask but how do i make a html page come up straight away on x10 hosting?my page is http://mafiakingdom.x10hosting.com/ youll see what i mean [01:22] even pinging something from the host doesn't wake it up [01:22] bloodrock, all except /boot (which was empty either way since it's a different partition) /tmp /mnt /dev /proc and /media [01:22] Could someone help me please. In Glade or GTK coding, how can I have a GtkTextView that acts similar to terminal (that is previous entered lines not editable ) [01:22] * hal acts as gaveen 's high-tech doorman [01:22] phongphra: programming stuff [01:22] billy: you need to have a index.html [01:22] get the gtk reference... [01:22] [[thufir]]: ctrl-alt-backspace kills your entire X server, not just an xterm. A mentat should know that... [01:23] billy: rename test.html to index.html or edit he apache conf and change the default page. [01:23] deserteagle, k why did you copy paste those folder that is what prob messed your system up [01:23] how do i do that ive got one but it comes up as a directory? [01:23] alright cheers m8 [01:23] Losha: nope. ctrl alt bksp has been changed to something like super k prntscrn [01:24] bloodrock, ummm: 1) because I needed my previous setup and files 2) why would it mess it up if I didn't even touch the boot folder [01:24] billy: just mv test.html index.html [01:24] hi if i upgrade my ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu studio 9.10 will it erase everything and change my customisable settings back to default [01:24] eremite: That depends on which release you're running, strictly speaking... [01:24] Losha: the two most recent do not have it. [01:24] hal, you could place the command in /etc/profile [01:25] eremite: I'm still running 8.04 LTS. I'm sure I'm not alone... [01:25] Losha: compiz users can still set it back to the original, though. [01:25] : still there [01:25] gaveen: that doesn't only run when someone logs in? [01:25] timmy54321, no most settings will remain. It is a BETA though so unless you want to upgrade for something specific i'd recommend against it [01:25] Losha: any particular reason for running an old OS? [01:25] thanks for that m8 its working now : ) [01:25] <[[thufir]]> how do I enable "zap" ctrl-alt-backspace? [01:25] billy: np [01:25] deserteagle, because 9.10 and 9.04 are a bit diff and what worked with 9.04 would not work with 9.10 [01:25] hello all! [01:25] !hi | sam555 [01:25] bloodrock, o.O 9.04? [01:25] eremite: the main reason: stability... [01:25] sam555: 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! [01:25] ubuntu studio 9.10 is beta?? [01:26] !dontzap > [[thufir]] [01:26] [[thufir]], please see my private message [01:26] bloodrock, both the install cd and the backup were at 9.10 [01:26] I installed ubuntu 9.10 for a friend that has never used linux before. They continually are having problems and I'm wonder if I should just put windows 2000 on their computer :( [01:26] ZykoticK9: thank you... [01:26] yes [01:26] It's kinda a waste of my time if they can't use it on their own :( [01:26] offtopic for a moment, does anyone here have qwest or other dsl? [01:26] sam555: LOL! Nope. [01:26] : it took me several hours to figure out the dontzap trick [01:26] Losha, your welcome :) [01:26] hey, how can i create a launcher that executes a sh file? [01:26] first she can't use her ipod to drag and drop songs using rhythm box [01:26] ANy knowledgeable samba users here?? (Yes I've joined #samba but no one is alive there) [01:26] sam555: what problems are they having? Linux copmputers can do almost everything Windows can, for free. [01:26] now she can't play movies with vlc or the movie player that is included [01:26] fabio333, synopsis of functions should tell me that? [01:27] I am trying to install a .deb but it says a software management tool is running but i don't have synaptic, the update manager or the terminal open. What else could be causing the problem? [01:27] timmy54321, oh my apologies. 9.10 is stable so go ahead :) sorry [01:27] deserteagle, oh yeah you used a new hdd forgot so the folders you copy pasted were for the old hdd so the uuid is different from the new hdd [01:27] sam555: has she installed the "restriced extras" packages? [01:27] sam555: there are worse solutions than going back to windows... [01:27] sam555, are the proper codecs installed? [01:27] i tried to make a launcher with the command sh /home/dmdevotee/djl.sh (the file exists and it haves all permissions) [01:27] : you want a part of the text to be editale, right? [01:27] but nothing happens when i click at the launcher [01:27] sam555: dont switch people, it will make your head hurt. Ignorance is bliss, but linux is more fun ;) [01:27] bloodrock, umm... but wouldn't that be in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? (which I didn't touch for that same reason) [01:28] desert the folders were set to read the uuid of old hdd [01:28] WhiteDawn: ? [01:28] Losha: its hardly recommended that people downgrade to Windows 2000 from Ubuntu, especially since they simply cannot play a video due to not having the codecs installed. [01:28] "ignorance is bliss" is an alan's parsong song [01:28] bloodrock, which folders? [01:28] dmdevotee, use gnome-terminal -x /pathto/file.sh [01:28] eremite: let me check about the restricted packages, but what will that do? [01:28] sooo im confused upgrading from the standard ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu studio 9.10 would be ok and settings will remain [01:28] : anyway the GtkTextView show the text in the TextBuffer, there you can use a Tab and set it as editable or not editable [01:28] deserteagle, yes but will also ber in the /dev folder [01:28] fabio333, yes one part is and the other isnt , both in the same textview [01:28] dmdevotee, make sure the script is executable [01:28] bloodrock, again, I didn't touch the /dev folder [01:29] sam555: you need the restricted extras package to play mp3s etc. Open the software center and search for it. [01:29] eremite: I agree, it probably shouldn't be the first resort, but for some people, it's a good solution... [01:29] Randomur: who would I tell re: codecs? [01:29] Losha: Windows 200 for ANYTHING other than shooting practice is not recommended., not even by Micr$oft junkies. [01:29] what is the := operator in export command in a script? [01:29] Forkbomb, thanks, where i have to type " gnome-terminal -x /pathto/file.s"? [01:30] samm555, follow eremite's instructions regarding restricted extra's [01:30] sam555: just install the restricted extras package, all problems solved hopefully. [01:30] dmdevotee, right click the desktop -> create launcher [01:30] eremite: windows 2000 makes a great abuse operating system for testing viruses in virtual box [01:30] deserteagle, i take it you put /boot on a seperate partitian [01:30] WhiteDawn: ie; SHooting practice. [01:30] i still have a computer running windows 2k [01:30] timmy54321: in theory yes, you can convert to ubuntu studio by adding the right packages. In practice, it's a lot of work, and probably not a well tested upgrade because so few people do it.... [01:30] bloodrock, yes, both times (my old and new setup) [01:30] dmdevotee, put the gnome-terminal command in the command box [01:30] and one running Windows ME [01:30] Gelfling: im sorry. [01:31] really. [01:31] there is only two things I have trouble with on linux today. Playing BluRay, and outputting to HDMI [01:31] the hard drive is failing in the ME one [01:31] so i can't do anything with it [01:31] hal, sorry for the delay, need to crash soon. If your system uses a /etc/rc.sysinit you can place the command there [01:31] everything else just works [01:31] desert k boot was only folder you didn't copy [01:31] yah [01:32] Hi all. I am having problems with memory I guess. When I boot into Ubuntu and open Firefox I immediatly go into swap. [01:32] lol, it does that [01:32] Is this normal? 512 megs of ram. [01:32] : drop the plugins [01:32] ummm... maybe not THAT much [01:32] watatem: I think it's bash syntax, do man bash and then type /:= to find some info on it... [01:32] histo: so the alternative install does not need to download packages from apt? im pretty sure it has to connect to download the apt packages to complete the install.... [01:32] and get rid of the .firefox folder [01:32] eremite: are the restricted packages located under the synaptic package manager? [01:32] deserteagle, i checked backward and you said you copied /dev /mnt /media /proc and a couple others [01:33] gregory57, yeah, that: try it in safe mode [01:33] Hi all - anyone know why I can't get nicotine+ to connect [01:33] Losha, thanks a lot =) [01:33] gaveen: that's ok thanks for the answer. That file does not exist, but rc.local does [01:33] dmdevotee, did you get that? :) [01:33] bloodrock, actually, it said i copied all -except- those [01:33] sam555: yes, but it may be easier for her to search in APPLICATIONS > UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER [01:33] I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse which pair via 'sudo hidd --search' but constantly timeout and need to run hidd --search again, very frustrating, any suggestions ? [01:33] fabio....which? All I have is adblocker. [01:33] bloodrock, all except /boot (which was empty either way since it's a different partition) /tmp /mnt /dev /proc and /media [01:33] hal: Did you get an answer yet? [01:33] ForkBomb, putted gnome-terminal -x /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh into the command box, saved, then clicked the launcher, nothing occurs [01:34] deserteagle, good idea. [01:34] only opens a terminal , and it closes in a half second [01:34] whassup all [01:34] dmdevotee, are you printing stuff to a terminal window? or just executing a command? [01:34] deserteagle, oh ok sorry well you musta copied something that had uuid of old in it to the new is what i think happened [01:34] dmdevotee: is the .sh file enabled to execute as a program? [01:34] dmdevotee: does /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh run by hand from the terminal? [01:35] Losha, he needs to read -p it to stop it closing :) [01:35] greezmunkey: kind of, do you think it should be in rc.local or /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf ? [01:35] thir question, yes [01:35] bloodrock: if it helps, only grub and /etc/fstab use uuids normally... [01:35] second question yes, it haves all permissions [01:35] dmdevotee, at the end of your shell script, add "read -p "Press any key to continue..." [01:35] dmdevotee, without the quotes [01:35] deserteagle, I've also noticed in top that java is running all the time. Is this normal? [01:35] hal: Are you dealing with a laptop? [01:36] gregory57, not to my knowledge [01:36] dmdevotee, so like this: read -p "Press any key to continue..." [01:36] * SpudDogg is trying to figure out something clever to type into his terminal... [01:36] greezmunkey: no [01:36] gregory57, but I could be mistaken [01:36] dmdevotee: if F0rkBomb's suggestion doesn't work, I'd try /bin/sh -c /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh as the launch command next.. [01:36] <[[thufir]]> how do disable don't zap, not in gnome. cannot find ~.xinitrc [01:36] huh...... [01:36] Losha, if so then he copied his old etc folder over his new one [01:36] Losha, it works cause thats what i use [01:36] bloodrock: I've done worse... [01:36] [[thufir]], it's now an issue with gconf-editor iirc [01:36] Losha, the problem is his script is executing and the terminal closes without prompting [01:37] britt: correct you don't need to download anything just configure network later [01:37] F0rkBomb: what does his script do, anyway? [01:37] britt: the alternate intall should have all the necessary packages on the cjd. [01:37] !dontzap [01:37] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [01:37] Losha, *shrug* he just wants to open a script from a launcher [01:37] deserteagle, here an idea get to your grub folder get the uuid form the grub.cfg file [01:37] eremite: thanks for the help, but I'm going with win2k. I don't want to have to continually support her and it's just easier. I myself have ubuntu and it's fine for me to find help, but for others....they're on their own. [01:37] http://myutc.org/index.htm [01:38] <[[thufir]]> that link from ubotto gives bad info, that's what I'm saying, it says to edit .xinitrc [01:38] F0rkBomb: depending on what it does, he might not even want/need an xterm. I thought he was just trying to get the script to run when he clicks on it... [01:38] deserteagle, ah no drop it that won't work since you overwrote the etc folder [01:38] Hello , trouble with 9.10 It goes to B&WS and frezze ., any one else have this ? [01:38] eh? [01:38] [[thufir]]: the layout options thing didn't work? [01:38] do you know how to control a windows vista computer from ubuntu? [01:38] bloodrock, /etc? what about it? [01:39] myrl, VNC [01:39] sam555: it takes about 30 seconds to install that package and then everything should work fine. There should be NO reasons somone cant figure out how to use Ubuntu if they use Windows, especially when they have no skills in computers (which means no need for the fine art of terminal-fu). Your solution will only cause problems, Win2k is a trap for viruses. Dont forget she will need to installa bunch of codecs in Windows too. [01:39] itried it [01:39] both solutions didn't work [01:39] myrl: you can install a vnc server on windows and then use a vnc client on Ubuntu... [01:39] ok [01:39] thanks [01:39] dmdevotee: what does your script do? [01:39] myrl, IIRC, there's also a tool to connect to Window's own "Remote Desktop" protocol from ubuntu [01:40] what if I don't have access to the vista computer? [01:40] this is the script: http://pastebin.com/hmifCxMv [01:40] deserteagle, you copied your old etc folder over your new one [01:40] myrl, -.- then you're in the wrong channel [01:40] ok [01:40] I encountered a strange thing today... that my old mobilevideo converting script fails to run on Karmic becouse of the removal of libfaac support from libavcodec. Is there a reson why the ubuntu developers have thrown out the support? [01:40] deserteagle: there *is* an rdesktop command. Dunno if it works for vista... [01:40] bloodrock, yes, how would that screw it up? [01:40] myrl, i would suggest something like neworder.box.sk for those questions :p [01:41] if im on the wrong channel, then which is the right one? [01:41] hal: This looks pretty simple, I haven't tried it though: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3348-ubuntu-executing-a-script-at-startup-and-shutdown [01:41] nikin, it wasn't ubuntu - they are trying to sort the issue out with upstream ffmpeg - who removed AAC audio due to licence issues [01:41] in fact, it's not my script, it's a downloaded script to run DJL [01:41] nikin: I wonder if it's another of those licensing things. Check out www.medibuntu.org [01:41] myrl, goto www.neworder.box.sk and look for their IRC channel [01:41] I think dmdevotee is sleeping, Losha :P [01:42] nikin, see bug for details https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900 [01:42] hahahaha [01:42] oh there you are! :D [01:42] ok [01:42] ZykoticK9: i see, then i have to come up with an other way to encode videos for my mobile :S First AMR and now this... unbelieveable. [01:42] greezmunkey: yeah, I suppose I could do it like that, but there is no need for a Kill script, so I feel there is a more simple solution [01:42] nikin, check out handbrake [01:42] greezmunkey: I think rc.local is the easiest way [01:43] dmdevotee, your script compiles a python file or something? [01:43] deserteagle, wouldn't fstab which is how drive is mounted be pointing to old drive [01:43] so many spammers here.... [01:43] yes i think so [01:43] myrl, so many questions that need answering :) [01:43] lol [01:43] dmdevotee: looks like your script requires *arguments* to be passed in e.g. a directory? [01:43] hal: The "script at shutdown" part is optional I think! [01:43] bloodrock, hmm... you got a point, I completely forgot about the /etc/fstab file [01:43] yo o/ [01:43] im new to ubuntu [01:43] ZykoticK9: i have mmc wich converts fine... just it is not command line, and if i am not wrong it uses the license probematic ffmpeg. [01:43] \O what up [01:43] dmdevotee, are you dragging a folder to the launcher by any chance? [01:44] myrl: are there? We don't allow spammers. It's just a really busy channel... [01:44] nikin, handbrake has a cli version as well as gui [01:44] yeah, you are right, but still I think there is a more "appropriate" way [01:44] being pissed on my house mates [01:44] thats whats up :) [01:44] myrl, ok: are you or are you not trying to hack into a vista? [01:44] ok [01:44] but when i do "sudo sh jdl.sh " in terminal, it works fine, it executes the program (but i have to type root pass) [01:44] wow, something is f00ked on my system :S [01:44] ZykoticK9: ohh didnt know that... and what does it use for encoding? [01:44] almost [01:44] my bro is on vista [01:44] dmdevotee, if so you need to pass %F to the terminal and handle arguments [01:44] myrl, if you are: what I said previously still applies [01:44] Hey all, im on Lucid and i need to install an older version kerenl 2.6.31-20 to be exact is there anyway i can do it through apt-get or would i have to wget the debs and dpkg them? [01:44] nikin, it's own encoder [01:44] how can I use the command line to investigate what hosts on my network are using bandwith, and how much of it ? [01:44] Iceman_B|SSH: please keep your domestic sex life details to yourself... [01:44] i want to hack my brother's computer [01:44] ok [01:44] hal: Well, I found a myriad of techniques on google, pick your poison :) [01:44] Losha: I am [01:44] is that bad? [01:45] my house mates aren't [01:45] ZykoticK9: does that help with license issues? [01:45] myrl: use a hatchet or ax [01:45] >_< [01:45] myrl, install a VNC server on it, open a network port, connect via Rdesktop, have fun [01:45] ok [01:45] myrl, ummm, yes. No support for you! [01:45] :) [01:45] myrl: no its not, its very fun, also record a youtube video [01:45] nikin, it doesn't have the license issues - only ffmpeg has that [01:45] FINE F0rkBomb enable the hacker -.- [01:45] ok [01:45] deserteagle, its his brothers PC [01:45] lol [01:45] !op | myrl [01:45] myrl: Help!

[01:46] dmdevotee, right, ok lets start from fresh. you want a launcher to run your script? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:46] lol [01:46] yep [01:46] but maybe im just pred [01:46] greezmunkey: hehe, yeah, I do appreciate it - thank you! :) I went for /etc/rc.local (/etc/init.d/rc.local explains what it's for) [01:47] prej [01:47] whatst hat word [01:47] Iceman_B|SSH, wow, nice :p [01:47] Does anyone know why I might be getting this when I try to 'update-manager -d'? http://pastebin.com/2S42xj4B [01:47] dmdevotee, you dont pass args to it, yu just want it to run? [01:47] yep [01:47] Iceman_B|SSH: he can heack all he wants, but if he wants to learn how to hack he cannot do it here. [01:47] Iceman_B|SSH, prejudging?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:47] like i would do manually [01:47] hal: cool! [01:47] dmdevotee, re-paste your script and link me [01:47] Iceman_B|SSH: he can hack all he wants, discussion of it is off-topic here... [01:47] eremite: ah, that I agree with [01:47] ok [01:47] ubottu - I totally understand and support that discussion moving on.

[01:48] dmdevotee, on a separate line... add read -p "Press any key to continue..." [01:48] how can I see the bw usage of a host on my network ? [01:48] dmdevotee, that will halt the terminal and wait for input to close === Out_Cold is now known as Guest92436 [01:49] too strange [01:49] I am trying to install a .deb but it says a software management tool is running but i don't have synaptic, the update manager or the terminal open. Are there any other tools that could be causing the problem? [01:49] look at this: [01:49] how do I get the UUID of a hard drive without hal-device? [01:49] Iceman_B|SSH: I found this on google: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html [01:49] if i type in console [01:49] sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh [01:49] simply, it works! [01:49] kpomeroy, are you running apt-get somewhere in a console? [01:49] :D [01:49] dmdevotee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:50] but i want a launcher for that [01:50] I don't have a console open [01:50] dmdevotee, what panel program you using? [01:50] kpomeroy, type this into a console: sudo killall -9 apt-get [01:50] Losha: thanks, Ill check that out [01:50] dmdevotee, check your pastebin, i amended your script [01:50] dmdevotee, http://pastebin.com/ztj5MEHK [01:50] the irony of course is that my house mates are using all the upstream capacity [01:50] ah, it finally loaded [01:51] deserteagle: I thought only partitions have uuids. Try the vol_id command, or the blkid command... [01:51] http://pastebin.com/ztj5MEHK [01:51] http://pastebin.com/ztj5MEHK [01:51] I have a computer with ubuntu moblin remix 9.10 installed. I'm trying to figure out how to get a standard GNOME desktop without having to wipe moblin off it and starting over. any thoughts? [01:51] yikes, sorry! [01:51] Losha omg I LOVE YOU O_O [01:51] forkbomb, ok, i changed the script, and nao? [01:51] "apt-get: no process found" That's what it brought back [01:51] * Losha blushes... [01:52] everyone loves Losha [01:52] I love Losha already and I've never been here before ;p [01:52] * Losha blushes even more... [01:52] kpomeroy, type this into a console: sudo killall -9 synaptic [01:52] I've been here before, under many guises [01:52] Now if I could just get a standard GNOME desktop on this damn machine :-( [01:52] deserteagle: panel program? do you mean system-preferences-main menu? [01:53] dmdevotee, gnome-panel [01:53] "synaptic: no process found" is what it says [01:53] dunno whay do you mean, but all by default installation lol [01:53] sorry [01:53] kpomeroy, :| sheesh lol [01:53] dmdevotee, just check out your pastebin [01:53] my firefox won't let me remove the incompatible extensions === john is now known as alphonso [01:54] I'm running the 10.04 beta, could that be factor? some kind of bug? [01:54] voyager640: I don't know anything about moblin, so I'm hesitant to suggest the usual thing, which is to do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Dunno what that'll do on moblin... [01:54] Hey, is it wise to upgrade my machine to lucid beta? [01:54] tiki, are you adventurous? [01:55] forkbomb: you changed anything ? [01:55] Losha- someone said it killed their system completely. So I'm a little nervous. I tried apt-get install gnome and it said it depends ont hings that are "not going to be installed" [01:55] dmdevotee, http://pastebin.com/ztj5MEHK [01:55] F0rkBomb: I am, only if it means less problems with skype and pulseaudio [01:55] tiki: it isn't stable yet, if that's what you mean.... [01:55] Losha: I guess I'll wait then [01:55] tiki, expect more problems, at any moment...but I like taking risks lol [01:56] is there any other way of uninstalling a firefox extension without using the add on list? [01:56] voyager640: dunno, like I said, I never heard of moblin. If I were you, I'd do a full backup before experimenting... [01:56] I am getting this error when trying to run a daily update [01:56] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:56] F0rkBomb: I won't upgrade, but do you know how to fix pulse? [01:56] anyone know WTF is up with this? I cant update my system anymore [01:56] ok, changed....and.... nothing happens when i double click on launcher [01:56] tiki: it's ok for a play machine, not for your main workhorse... [01:56] Losha- how would i backup a system that doesn't have a cdrom drive or a disk drive? [01:56] FeasibilityStudy run sudo dpkg --configure -a in terminal [01:56] dmdevotee, whats in the command box of your launchers properties? [01:56] Losha: its my main. [01:57] booksbuggy: I did and it still does the same thing [01:57] Losha: I only have one T_T [01:57] hmmm then go to synaptics and look for broken packages [01:57] F0rkBomb: or force skype to use alsa? [01:57] i tried both launchers: [01:57] /bin/sh -c /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh [01:57] voyager640: well, you need *somewhere* to put the data? [01:57] gnome-terminal -x /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh [01:57] FeasibilityStudy, go look for broken packages in synaptics [01:57] dmdevotee, well the 2nd one should work, its what i use for my md5checker [01:57] booksbuggy: I dont use synaptics. [01:57] Is there any way to force Skype to use alsa instead of pulse? Pulse sucks. [01:57] this is written into "command" box of launchr [01:58] tiki: then wait. After a couple of months, the worst problems will be worked out (hopefully)... [01:58] FeasibilityStudy, most likely something happened before and broke a package [01:58] Losha: isn't it end of april? [01:58] dmdevotee, go into properties of the script and see if "Allow executing file as program" is checked [01:58] FeasibilityStudy, i am saying use the synaptic package manager to check for broken packages [01:58] forkbomb: but , with the script that works with you, it need root passwrod? [01:58] dmdevotee, no [01:59] tiki: that's the *release* date, doesn't guarantee it's ready. In fact, it pretty much guarantees it won't be. Ever see Lucy & Ethel in the chocolate factory episode? [01:59] forkbomb: yes, is checked [01:59] Losha: huh? [01:59] dmdevotee, then i really cannot see what the problem is [01:59] so, the problem could be there? === whiter is now known as whiter-sleep [02:00] anyone have any idea of how to remove a firefox add on with terminal? [02:00] maybe it works for you because your script, (or similar) doesn't ask for root pass, but mine does [02:00] ??? [02:00] tiki: never mind, the release date is fixed and can't be moved, it doesn't mean the code is ready... [02:01] Losha: got it. I'll try my luck when its released anyways. [02:01] Losha: Its an LTS, so chances are that its going to work well enough [02:01] ok [02:02] tiki: You can always check in #ubuntu+1 to see what people are saying about it.... [02:02] Losha: The LTS should be fine, Karmic is great. [02:02] eremite: I ran karmic for a while, but grub2 and gdm2 got on my nerves, not to mention sound issues... [02:03] dmdevotee, http://pastebin.com/fj0bvheb try that [02:03] Losha: no problems on my end other than sound issues, too> However, I got those sorted out with ease. [02:03] karmic is not that bad if it wasn't that out of the two speaks i have only one is playing -.- [02:03] Losha: I fail to see why grub would make you switch back. [02:03] can anyone help with a ktorrent error i'm getting? [02:04] booksbuggy: sounds like you have your speakres panned. [02:04] nothing at all :_( [02:04] panned o.O? [02:04] eremite, what is panned o.O? [02:04] booksbuggy: and I am saying I dont use synaptic..I use aptitude [02:05] eremite: I was multibooting, karmic, 8.04, debian, XP. I got fed up trying to configure grub2... [02:05] what happened to everyone? [02:05] woah what just happend? [02:05] idle purge? [02:05] booksbuggy: yes, panned to the left or to teh right. Its the term used to describe sound coming from either the left or right speakers. [02:05] when I try to open the help file in ktorrent I get this error message: The file or folder help:/ktorrent/index.html does not exist. [02:05] anyone know how to repair this? [02:05] alphonso: are you running kde? [02:05] yes [02:06] eremite, eh actually the balance is set to the middle unless the sound interface is lying again -.- [02:06] Losha: what configuring would you need to do to grub? Other than changing boot order, I cannot see a reson to play with grub settings. [02:06] alphonso: you could try "man ktorrent" === kgs_ is now known as kgs [02:06] okay, from terminal? [02:06] sorry about the mass D/C everyone, my DeLorean was struck by lightning [02:06] alphonso: yeah from terminal [02:06] FeasibilityStudy, are you sure you "actually Read" what i said? [02:06] eremite: the shell scripts never got the config correct. I got fed up hand editing grub.cfg files... [02:06] thanks, WhiteDawn - that worked [02:06] howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin === pepee__ is now known as pepee [02:07] hey ppl [02:07] booksbuggy: sounds like a specific problem, not common to anyone else. Probably a hardware problem on yoru behlaf, not a software error from Ubuntu. [02:07] booksbuggy: I am not on Ubuntu, I use Kubuntu and I am not installing Synaptic..Sorry. [02:07] what is a really lightweight web browser that I can use with Xubuntu, Firefox is a bit heavy for my system. [02:07] FeasibilityStudy: Karmic is ubuntu and already has Synaptic installed. You make no sense. [02:07] FeasibilityStudy, hmmm other than apt does kubuntu have a secondary package manager? [02:07] eremite, works fine in windows -.- [02:07] Presario2500: Google Chrome is light and FAST, but Midori is another. I really do suggest Chrome. [02:08] is Midori faster than Chrome? [02:08] Presario2500, not as polished [02:08] i use crhome - it's very fast [02:08] Presario2500: No [02:08] Presario2500, I'd use Chrome [02:08] Presario2500 I use chrome on a netbook, and it is the fastest thing I've seen, but Ive never used Midori [02:09] uSE CHROME, ITS GREAT [02:09] ok [02:09] chrome is nice, but not all websites work [02:09] howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin [02:09] thanks [02:09] booksbuggy: You didnt read what *I* said. I said I use aptitude..Not apt, not synaptic [02:09] WhiteDawn: that's because of bad coding on behald of developers. [02:09] Presario2500, although, take heed...because chrome uses separate tab processes, it can eat ram [02:10] eremite: if by bad coding you mean the website developers and not chrome, then A+ [02:10] WhiteDawn: tell me on, I've yet have to see one [02:10] FeasibilityStudy, well you didn't tell me you were using kubuntu [02:10] can anybody help me? i have a script on /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh, and when i do sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh it works fine [02:10] how can i do a launcher for that? [02:10] FeasibilityStudy, okay other than apt does Kubuntu have any other kind of package manager? [02:11] WhiteDawn: of course the webside developers and not chrome. Chrome passes all tests with flying colors. Its idiost who dont knwop how to code simple css and html that are to blame. [02:11] MaT-dg: well TomsHardware wouldent work for awhile, and my school's timetable site still doesnt work, but i dont think you can get onto that [02:11] FeasibilityStudy, well i call them apt :CP [02:11] eremite: those idiots outnumber you.... [02:11] eremite: yeah when i saw 100 on the acid test i was amazed [02:11] Losha: I know. I fix their problems all day -_- [02:11] booksbuggy: apt != aptitude [02:12] yeah, what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [02:12] besides the cows [02:12] FeasibilityStudy, just tell me if there is any other package manager existant in kubuntu other than the one you always used? === mrigesh is now known as animAgus [02:12] help [02:13] hey ya all [02:13] syx: just ask question isntead of going help [02:13] /help [02:13] booksbuggy: Kubuntu has aptitude and apt-get, and also synaptic I believe. [02:13] WhiteDawn: they're basically interchangeable, but aptitude is supposed to have better dependency handling. Dunno if it makes any difference in practice. I use apt-get out of habit... [02:13] eremite, FeasibilityStudy <--- Says there is no synaptic for some reason -.- [02:13] kubuntu use Adept iirc [02:13] http://www.fullflavour.co.nz/ [02:13] Does the package state information located at /var/lib/apt/lists inform apt-get whether a package is installed or not, or is that tracked in another place? [02:13] http://www.fullflavour.co.nz/ [02:13] http://www.fullflavour.co.nz/ [02:13] Losha: ah, ok, thanks [02:13] TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:13] TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:13] TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:13] TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:14] Also, aptitude keeps better logs and has a curses interface in case you need it [02:14] booksbuggy: then he doesnt know what he's talking about? [02:14] WhiteDawn: Did you mean supercow powers? [02:14] Losha, the better dependency hangling is outdated - they are both "more or less" equal nowadays === homer is now known as Guest14594 [02:14] Losha: yes, the super cow powers [02:14] !info adept [02:14] adept (source: adept): package management suite for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0~beta7.2ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 369 kB, installed size 1308 kB [02:14] ZykoticK9: that accords with my experience... [02:14] eremite, keep on trying to tell him to use synaptics to check for broken packages -.- and he won't listen [02:14] WhiteDawn: your school's timetable doesn't interrest me :P Complain to the coders/principal about that. Tomshardware works fine at first sight... [02:14] eremite: No Kubuntu doesn't have Synaptic. It uses KPackageGet [02:14] WhiteDawn: did anyone ever find out what 'super cow powers' are? [02:14] Hi [02:14] dmdevotee: Do you want to create a launcher on the desktop? If you are running Ubuntu, you would right click on the desktop, and select "Create Launcher...", then name it and connect the shell script to the launcher in the command field. [02:15] FeasibilityStudy, well then use that to look for the broken packages [02:15] Losha, perhaps I'm just sticking up for apt as it's what i use as well ;) [02:15] Losha: good question, i just thought it was a in-joke with the two compeeting programs [02:15] FeasibilityStudy: Adept is what you want [02:15] FeasibilityStudy, since if that's the equavlent of synaptics in gnome then it should work pretty much the same thing [02:15] howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin [02:15] Losha, WhiteDawn "apt-get moo" to see the super-cow powers - sudo not required [02:16] kpomeroy: what exactly i have to type on command box, please? [02:16] ZykoticK9: yeah thats what were talking about [02:16] i tried 2 things and they didn't work [02:16] FeasibilityStudy: you can install synaptic with ease. sudo apt-get install synaptic takes 10 seconds to install. [02:16] I dont want or need synaptic [02:16] back to my own question: anyone know if there is a way to remove firefox add ons with terminal? [02:16] I prefer the terminal [02:16] ZykoticK9: is that it? I think I'm disappointed.... [02:16] eremite: why? he has Adept and can use the terminal to install packages. no need to install Synaptic also [02:16] WhiteDawn, have you seen aptitude's version? it's actually even better === ProjectXSorrow is now known as conroy12334 [02:17] IdleOne: he doesnt seem to know hwo to use it. [02:17] ZykoticK9: haha yeah [02:17] hello? === mnepton is now known as mneptok [02:17] dmdevotee: you could type in the command which I believe you said was " /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh" or you could click on the browse button and navigate to the file [02:17] FeasibilityStudy: what is it you are trying to install, btw #kubuntu might be a better place for you to ask. [02:17] i think cowsay should be a default installed package in all distrobutions [02:18] FeasibilityStudy, use adept to find the broken packages before YOUR system actually kills itself [02:18] IdleOne: i believe he's looking to see which packages are installed or broken [02:18] there we go... so anyways, why won't GRUB show all the partitions? what could stop grub from listing the different partitions in a hdd? [02:18] hi, does anyone have any experience with Proliants? [02:18] howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin === deadpigeon_ is now known as deadpigeon [02:18] deserteagle: it doens't see operating systems on them? [02:18] deserteagle: it doesnt list each partition, it lists all OSs [02:18] IdleOne: forget it. No one here understands even the basics of terminal commands. My problem has been identified as a bug that has yet to be fixed.. [02:18] FeasibilityStudy: look for Adept in the K menu. I have never used it but I am sure there is a way to see broken packages with it [02:18] kalesian, if you don't get an answer in this channel you might want to try #ubuntu-server as well [02:18] econtomawesome: why wont you use unetbootin? [02:19] eremite, in grub rescue> ls ? [02:19] FeasibilityStudy: okie dokie :) [02:19] kpomeroy: [02:19] i typed in the command [02:19] histo, it's supposed to show (hd0) (hd0,0) (hd0,1) [02:19] sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh [02:19] ZykoticK9: ahh, good tip. [02:19] deserteagle: you lost me. I guess you can scratch my statement from the record. [02:19] and didn't work [02:19] FeasibilityStudy: sudo dpkg -configure -a? perhaps [02:19] eremite, lol [02:19] deserteagle: no it only shows operating systems not partitions [02:19] typed sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh [02:19] FeasibilityStudy: those are fighting words. I'm an old cli hacker... [02:19] didn't work [02:19] I did that already. It doesnt help. It is a bug [02:20] lose the "sudo sh", and try that [02:20] !grub > deserteagle [02:20] deserteagle, please see my private message [02:20] I am on Lucid. [02:20] WhiteDawn for some reason I keep getting errors when I try to run the iso. Doesn't matter which ISO I use or which pendrive I use [02:20] back to my own question: anyone know if there is a way to remove firefox add ons with terminal? [02:20] dmdevotee: you don't need sudo to run it. [02:20] FeasibilityStudy: ok, ahh well in beta we call those not yet implemented features :) [02:20] FeasibilityStudy: then you are off-topic here. Get thee to #ubuntu+1 .... [02:20] FeasibilityStudy: WRONG CHANNEL. You want #ubuntu-1 I think [02:20] histo: so, what i have to do? [02:20] Losha, he's already there [02:21] dmdevotee: chmod a+x /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh [02:21] ok let's all back off FeasibilityStudy he knows what the issue is and how/wait to fix it [02:21] histo: i did that [02:21] #ubuntu-1 -- that's brilliant.... [02:21] econtomawesome: try not to use the iso's and download using one of the premade options, I had same issue as you till i did this [02:21] dmdevotee: cd /home/dmdevotee/djl [02:21] dmdevotee: ./djl.sh [02:21] histo: i want a LAUNCHER [02:21] Losha, you should suggest -1 as a new channel ;) [02:22] ZykoticK9: it's tempting.... [02:22] anyone know how to remove firefox add-ons via terminal? [02:22] booksbuggy: nope, sorry. [02:22] dmdevotee, so... what launching program you using? [02:22] dmdevotee, we've told you about 6 ways to make a launcher for a shell script, and none of them work for you [02:22] dang it -.- [02:22] dmdevotee: does it work from terminal? [02:22] hi guys i'm trying to install v4l on ubuntu karmic mini, but it fails, says that firedtv files are missing, what can i do ? [02:22] histo: yes [02:22] booksbuggy, easiest way: run firefox in safe mode [02:22] WhiteDawn What do you mean? I downloaded the ISO for the ubuntu karmic mini [02:22] dmdevotee: okay now right click on desktop and create launcher [02:22] WhiteDawn I didn't create my own iso? [02:22] one of the add on is not compatible and somehow it grayed out the uninstall option -.- [02:22] booksbuggy, it'll ask you if you want to disable them, once disabled you can uninstall them [02:22] histo, been through all this with him about 45 minutes ago :) [02:22] dmdevotee: comand will be sh ~/djl/djl.sh [02:23] deserteagle: dunno what program i am using....i only do right click on desktop and create launcher [02:23] dmdevotee: if that doens't work try putting it in quotes [02:23] both disable and uninstal are grayed out -.- [02:23] econtomawesome: there should be a dropdown menu in unetbootin to select a distro [02:23] well nevermind it is diabled [02:23] WhiteDawn ah I see what you mean then [02:23] but it still won't let me uninstall [02:23] And I came here only because no one was responding in ubuntu+1. Now they are, I am outta here. [02:23] WhiteDawn I'm going to give usb-creator-gtk a go and then try that [02:23] dmdevotee: are you running ubuntu in gnome? [02:24] yes, gnome [02:24] can anyone help me ? [02:24] econtomawesome: good luck [02:24] hi guys i'm trying to install v4l on ubuntu karmic mini, but it fails, says that firedtv files are missing, what can i do ? [02:24] FeasibilityStudy, good luck [02:25] deserteagle, how do i run firefox in safe mode [02:25] !info firedtv > diego-ch [02:25] ok thanks [02:26] you got the info? [02:26] histo: sh ~/djl/djl.sh doesn't work, and sh "/home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh" doesn't work too (on command box of app launcher) [02:26] dedevotee: ok, do what i told you before, right click on the desktop, select create launcher. In the command field box type in: /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh and name it whatever you want. It should then work. You don't have to run any commands in the terminal [02:26] yes... but i'm trying to install an dibcom usb adapter [02:26] !find firedtv > diego-ch [02:26] WhiteDawn it worked! :-D [02:26] adios [02:27] how do i start firefox in safe-mode? [02:28] booksbuggy: firefox --safemode in terminal [02:28] !find v4l-dvb [02:28] dmdevotee: put the sh in the quotes also [02:28] Package/file v4l-dvb does not exist in karmic [02:28] okey dokey [02:28] booksbuggy: firefox -safe-mode <--- first result in Google. [02:28] name: DJL5 . command: /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh . double click on it: does nothing [02:28] :CP [02:28] what kind of face is :CP? [02:29] creeping even in safe-mode it won't let me uninstall -.- stumble upon toolbar -.- [02:29] dmdevotee: hold up let me check something [02:29] :P C -> huge nose --> :CP [02:30] diego-ch: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/448811 is that what you are experiencing? [02:30] booksbuggy: did you even try researching thsi on yoru own before coming here? First result in google, again http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+uninstall+an+add-on [02:30] if i type sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh on terminal it works, but i would want a launcher... [02:30] eremite: not everybody has strong google fu. pointing that out to them is not helpful. [02:30] dmdevotee: I was wrong, it need to be " /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh", it needs the " ". [02:31] anda if course, i want to learn [02:31] dmdevotee: can you launch it without sudo [02:31] IdleOne: pointing out that they should use Google is soemthing positive. Teaches them to teach themselves, and saves us hassle. Saves everyone a headache in teh end. [02:31] dmdevotee: if not thats the problem [02:31] !google | emergion [02:31] emergion: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:31] histo: without sudo doesn't work [02:31] dmdevotee, try using gksudo in your launcher [02:31] !google | eremite [02:31] eremite: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:31] Hi all! My windows is pooched. Is there an ubuntu tool to read a vista event log? [02:32] IdleOne: not exactly, i've just installed karmic then was trying to install v4l-dvb but it fails [02:32] Yeah yeah yeah, I know the botproganda [02:32] eremite: ok well then please follow the rules [02:32] Hi guys, we could search a Ubuntu package by many methods, like dpkg -S or visit packages.ubuntu.com. But how to find a manpage? E.g. by default I cannot "man XvShmPutImage". How to find and install the correct manpage under Ubuntu? I google'ed this but failed to find an answer. Thanks! [02:32] dsnyders: you would need to find where the evenlog is stored on the drive and read it that way [02:32] IdleOne: like this http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com/msg09364.html [02:32] ? [02:32] eremite: if you feel you know better then please join #ubuntu-irc and let them know [02:32] ? [02:32] does anyone know where nautilus shares the samba configurations that are created when you use the GUI to share a folder? [02:32] histo, I don't think that they're text files. [02:32] IdleOne: I didnt break any rules. I asked if they googled it first. That is not the same as teklling someone to goole it. \ [02:32] eggonlea: apropos something [02:33] eremite: I google it for them. In the long run, it saves time... [02:33] eremite: "Your honor I didn't shoot him in the head. I just said I was going to!" still go to jail [02:33] dsnyders: it may be. Windows saves a lot of stuff in plain text and xml in wierd directorys. If its in the registry or something i'm sure there are tools [02:33] dsnyders: either way not really a ubuntu question. [02:34] histo: thanks, but "apropos XvShmPutImage" returns nothing. [02:34] diego-ch: that is above my head. report a bug I guess [02:34] IdleOne: hardly comparable. Losha: I did google it for him. Irrelavant. [02:34] IdleOne: on different charges though... [02:34] zykotick9: thanks, but with gksudo "/home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh" does not launch, but it ask for root pass [02:34] IdleOne: i'll see what i can do... [02:34] General question here if anyone has any quick advice. Recently install Ubuntu Server 9.10 on vmware ESXi server and it seems rather slow compared to other unix/linux based guest VMs. For example, any time I login it takes about an extra 10 seconds or so and then gives me about 20 lines of text about with system info and stats etc. everything seems to work as it should out of the box install (Lamp server etc) but it just seems 'slow'. [02:35] histo, well, is there a general linux channel where I could ask? [02:35] eggonlea: what are you trying to do exactly? your original question was confusing [02:35] dsnyders, ##linux [02:35] eremite: I used to think I could train them, but they outnumber us, so.... [02:35] dsnyders: you can search synaptic also [02:35] tp2: there are some packages for hypervisors in synaptic, you can try some of those, i dont really ahve any experience in that subject though [02:35] Losha! [02:35] hehe [02:36] histo: I just want to know how to install the CORRECT manpage if I only knows the function name. [02:36] whitedawn - synaptic? if it would be easier to just google let me know :) [02:36] I am trying to install a .deb but it says a software management tool is running but i don't have synaptic, the update manager or the terminal open. Are there any other tools that could be causing the problem? [02:37] Just like we could dpkg -S a file_we_look_for. [02:37] dsnyders: http://ask.metafilter.com/15838/Converting-Windows-Event-Viewer-log-files-on-a-nix-platform [02:37] tp2: new to ubuntu? synaptic is the package manager, its under system/administration/synaptic on the top bar [02:37] eggonlea: how did you install the package? [02:37] kpomeroy, have you tried logging out and back in? [02:37] Yeah I tried that once, I could try it again i guess [02:38] tp2: you can also launch it through terminal with "gksudo synaptic" although it is a GUI program so make sure you arent cli only [02:38] histo: 1) we could "dpkg -S" to find a package name by a filename; 2) how to find a manpage package name by a function name? [02:39] kpomeroy, logout/login or rebooting is probably the safest option -- but i think you could manually remove the lock as a last resort [02:39] eggonlea: manpages don't have package names they come with the package [02:39] whitedawn - very new to ubuntu. all my *nix experience is Sun Solaris/HP-UX/AS400. Very new to Linux in general. The way you describe 'under sys/adm/syn top bar' it sounds very gui like? my install of server sits at command prompt after login etc. did i miss an install option to get the synaptic tool? [02:39] eggonlea: you can search the installed man pages with man -k sometext [02:39] Ok I will restart the computer but if it doesn't work what is the override? [02:40] tp2, server does not have a GUI, text only [02:40] tp2: ah yeah it is a gui program, you can use apt-get for a cli, make sure you run it as root. Synaptic is just a nice and easy way to search through avalible packages [02:41] a file is 777 and I'm a member of the group that has ownership of file. I can't use chmod w/o sudo "operation not permitted" are user owners the only ones able to use chmod? [02:41] whitedawn - ok thx. i think i will do some google searching on ubuntu and some vm/hypervisor pkgs to speed things up on vmware. i tried a vmware tools install with my vmware guest mgr but it doesn't seem to work or install anything. [02:41] well then either firefox already killed the toolbar or else there was a bug again....... [02:41] tp2: "apt-get install [PackageName1] [PackageName2]..." (to install a package) "apt-cache search [something]" = search for a package [02:41] histo: the problem is that the manpage package is not installed yet, so man -k or apropos cannot help.

Does any one have experience with these types of issues? [02:42] joker_-_ - thx. does the search do wildcarding? can i do a "apt-cache search vmware"? or would it be "apt-cache search *vm*"? [02:42] eggonlea: the manpage for a certain app isn't there right? [02:42] tp2: it is "wildcards" by default [02:42] joker_-_ ok thx. [02:42] eggonlea: once again how did you install the app? [02:42] tp2: apt-cache search vmware should work [02:42] Joker_-_: thanks, did not know that command etheir [02:43] tp2: I tend to use "| grep something" [02:43] eggonlea: its quite possible it didn't come with documentation [02:43] histo: how do you find the right package name (to be apt-get install) if you only know the function (to man)? === root is now known as Guest75815 [02:43] how do i ssh from an iphone to ubunto to start delugr?

I have a function name (API like XvShmPutImage). I want to get the right manpage installed, by any way. [02:45] My computer lost power while installing a package, and now I am having issues doing anything with apt-get/aptitude/synaptic/etc. regarding configuration errors. apt-get -f install doesn't fix it, dpkg --configure -a doesn't fix it.

[02:46] devz0r, you using ubuntu or kubuntu? [02:46] ubuntu [02:46] ZykoticK9: why thank you good sir, but we cannot forget your wonderfull advice, may it live forever [02:46] histo: any method to get the manpage filename or package name so that I could apt-get install and then I could man .

[02:48] eggonlea: try apt-cache search someterm [02:48] hey [02:48] eggonlea: then you can find the package you are looking for and install it. [02:48] wassup [02:49] tp2: there is also package search on ubuntu's website, you can google for that [02:49] joker_-_ 10-4. did that.. first links came up were pages at http://packages.ubuntu.com/etc... === conroy12334 is now known as tydizzle [02:49] histo: e.g. I could apt-get install manpages manpages-dev, etc. to install some basic man pages. But I don't know the "right package name" which contains the "right manpage" for an API. [02:49] tp2: apt-cache show works well if you don'T have any GUI available [02:49] tp2: there's also elinks, if you are the adventurous type :) [02:50] whitedawn - yup thats where i am now. thanks for the virtualization tip btw. looks like "open-vm-tools" is a pkg that will greatly enhance ubuntu guest os on a vmware esx host. [02:50] ?how to can you tell me [02:50] histo: I understand what you mean. but the problem is we lack a way to find the package name from a function name. [02:50] eggonlea: actually, I don't know of a good solution to your issue. You could try apt-cache search man | egrep -i manpage but if the developers forgot to include man pages in the -dev package, you might be sunk. I would google for the API in that case, and maybe look in the include files... [02:50] Engaging shutdown procedure. Good night. [02:50] eggonlea: you might try http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ it found that function in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man3/XvShmPutImage.3.html (although it appears to only be in the lucid package, it isn't in karmic anyway) [02:50] joker_-_ "elinks" for the adventurous type? i'm lol-ing.. not even sure why yet! [02:50] eggonlea: what is a function name? [02:51] Guest75815, in Main Menu - highlight Office on the left side, then click the New Menu button on the right [02:51] Losha: Thanks. I google them now.

I can't seem to be able to read my Linux partition VIA Win7 so I thought about installing 10.04 [03:00] daskreech: you have to add the resolution to the sysem using xrandr then use xrandr to change to that newly created system rez.

[03:02] Izinucs, no [03:02] inside [03:02] Arsin, do you have files you want to save on your current install? you can use a livecd. [03:02] Arsin: if you're just worried about losing some files, boot a live CD and back them up. Otherwise, I suggest a simple wipe/reinstall. There might be a way to fix it without a clean install, but a clean install gives you as nice an environment as you can get [03:02] i've only got 7 open ports when I portscan myself on the same computer [03:02] shazbotmcnasty: that's the problem.. you have to check from outside.. your machine will open whatever ports you want from inside..

[03:23] Ahead of you [03:23] I want to download the .deb and put it on a usb stick [03:23] lotus: use apt-get [03:23] daskreech: by the way.. what rez are you trying to get? [03:24] Bageshwar: Im not sure [03:24] lotus: just browse straight to the repo [03:24] Izinucs: 1280x1024 [03:24] [TechGuy], i could be wrong... [03:24] ChogyDan: i checked aptoncd, i think it doesnt solve the purpose [03:24] daskreech: what command are you using? [03:24] ChogyDan: when I do, it says it's not what I'm after and that I should go somewhere else... [03:24] xrandr --addmode et al [03:24] lotus: link? [03:24] ChogyDan: http://apt.wicd.net is the repo I'm after [03:24] !offline | lotus [03:24] lotus: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script.

[03:25] daskreech: there's a concept that X needs to be at or larger than the resolution you're looking for.. this might be a google solution instead of the ubuntu docs on resolution.. I'll look [03:26] !vlc | Chad [03:26] Chad: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[03:27] Bageshwar: you can just use file copy commands, but what you are trying to do sounds complicated. Did you say multiple distros? [03:27] Izinucs: Yep [03:27] Chad: do check into transcoding and a slight tweaking be4 u start ! :) [03:28] I have about the simplest setup I can imagine and it somehow broke over nothing [03:28] ChogyDan: no, not multiple distros, acutally i have set-up apt-proxy, but i use a serious slow connection, i could save on the 700bmb which i have on the cd [03:28] daskreech: vga or dvi? [03:28] ChogyDan: which i have on the installer [03:29] Izinucs: VGA [03:29] dvi [03:29] Bageshwar: the alternate cd? [03:29] The monitor comes up as a default in xrandr not VGA-0 [03:29] hey is there someone who has a problem booting windows 7 after installing ubuntu [03:29] daskreech: try this with the right rez inputed if this isn't right.. also change the 75 to 60. xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024×768 --rate 75 [03:30] ChogyDan: no, the installer cd [03:30] How do I enable sound with this type of installation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [03:30] Bageshwar: live cd? or the alternate cd?

[03:32] Dracari: #ubuntu+1 [03:32] Bageshwar: I think you should be able to use a straight copy command, something like: cp cd_location/folder/*/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives [03:33] ChogyDan: hmm i ll try.. was just worried about the Package.gz that it has... anyways.. i ll try n let ppl know .. thanks ! [03:33] for any interested party, apt-get -d install is what I was after. It retireves the package but not installs it [03:33] no [03:34] anyone know how to delete only one partition from my computer but keep the rest? [03:35] natediddy, use fdisk [03:35] natediddy: don't use fdisk [03:35] natediddy: which partition, and why. And don't you want to use the space it frees up? [03:35] natediddy: use fdisk [03:35] natediddy: Don't use fdik [03:35] daskreech: well.... if you want to go there.. you can always install the nvidia drivers from their site.. the 173's.. during that process it will dynamically create the correct xorg.conf file *if* your monitor reports the settings correctly.. if not then once it's created you can go in and edit it for the right rez.. xorg.conf overrides xrandr when it exists correctly. [03:35] natediddy: Use gparted [03:35] daskreech, why not fdisk? [03:35] well im trying to triple boot win7, unr, and Mint8 [03:35] doh port forwarding in router? [03:35] i dont think its gonna work [03:35] dsnyders: It's a destructive write [03:35] 22 [03:36] seems they're afk/buys over there i do have multicopies of *ubuntu of various version, (7.04, 8.04 9.10) i know atleast befor i learne dof 10.4. that only way to get the Texas Instruments PCI1620 Card reader was a small work around in Fiest Fawn. [03:36] Izinucs: Not today it doesnt [03:36] daskreech: you'll have to disable the current driver and uninstall the preinstalled ubuntu nvidia bits to make it work. [03:36] Any one else use Hydrogen on Ubuntu 10.4 and notice sound sound quality issues. (Crackly) music and video audio seems fine [03:36] Izinucs: I did that already [03:36] daskreech, Kinda necessary if you want to get rid of the partition/ [03:36] Is it possibl eto intergrate it into Fawn? [03:36] eric1982: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks [03:36] natediddy: there's no reason it shouldn't work, unless dsnyders and daskreech never stop squabbling... [03:36] its said Resizing Partition for about 20 minutes now and still 0% [03:36] daskreech: you did? is that the driver you're using now? [03:36] dsnyders: I mean that it will destroy all partition table info [03:37] Izinucs: No not now [03:37] natediddy: oh, er, you started without us... [03:37] lol [03:37] I just removed all the drivers and installed the nvidia-173 from the repos [03:37] its okay [03:37] natediddy: how big is the partition you're resizing? [03:38] !pastge [03:38] daskreech: ok.. you're having conflicts.. disable the ubuntu driver.. uninstall the ubuntu nvidia bits and reinstall the driver direct from nvidia.. the different driver sets don't coexist well.. I've always had that issue. [03:38] My external hard drive switches it's path from /media/disk to /media/d88bc993-9850-4959-8701-c639b916f851/ everytime I reload my system. How do I stop this?

[03:38] any segustions to fix my grub? [03:38] I seem to be having trouble with UbuntuLooks not letting me open some programs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/400931/ [03:39] natediddy: it will take a while. Probably worse to interrupt it than to let it run to completion. Sit on your hands... [03:39] i guess it's a No. [03:39] blakkheim: anyway to automate this?

[03:44] billy: wrong channel for that question [03:44] greezmunkey: there's quite a lot of processing and negotiation goes on in ssh before you get to a password prompt. You should be able to see it happen by adding -v [03:44] blakkheim: verbose! I'm using putty, but I can add that, thanks! [03:44] what channel should i use? [03:44] Losha, ...you trainin' me???

[04:24] hello. i have one of those external USB SD card readers on my desktop (Ubuntu 8.10 btw). How can i get the SD cards to mount without the write-protection mode? === marc__ is now known as thegenix [04:25] lotus yes [04:25] AbortD: in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications there are several files. One file for each item in the indicator applet. [04:25] AbortD: i have thunderbird and pidgin. [04:25] AbortD: pidgin is a file which contains the line /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop [04:25] oberdada, I never had that problem. [04:25] Losha, yea rename doesnt seem to like brackets [04:25] hi all. is there a way to create a L2TP/IPsec over a TUN/TAP interface rather than a PPP interface on linux? i'm on ubuntu 8.04 LTS and strongswan. [04:25] AbortD: that desktop file should exist already. If you don't ahve it, tell me and I'll pastebin its contents. === SwimmingRaat is now known as SwimmingRat [04:26] k sec i need to install the apps first [04:26] AbortD: And there's another trick to this that I don't remember. Something about the pidgin file getting removed from this folder every time you reboot or somesuch. There's like a list of blacklisted indicators somewhere... [04:26] Anyone who can provide help modifying icons not included in an icon theme, some help would be much appreciated. [04:26] * SwimmingRat will return and look into the magic xchat mirror for answers. [04:26] sc [04:27] hm if its gonna keep getting deleted im gonna have to wait [04:27] Bonster: you have to 'escape' them with backslashes, something like: rename 's/\]//' * followed by rename 's/\[//' * [04:27] AbortD: found it [04:27] AbortD: in /home/user/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist there's an entry for libpurple I think [04:28] SwimmingRat: we need an xchat magic 8 ball... [04:28] Izinucs: Dell [04:28] AbortD: not sure if it's pidgin or libpurple (I deleted mine) [04:28] Izinucs: 828Fi [04:28] are you supposed to delete it? [04:28] to get it to work? [04:29] AbortD: but removing it from the applications-blacklist and putting the entry in the /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ folder as I mentioned earlier works. [04:29] AbortD: you don't have to delete it. You can just move it out of that folder into another folder "un-blacklisted" or somesuch [04:29] daskreech: 30-70 is the horizontal range.. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/22793/specs.htm [04:30] * lotus is so glad it's not 4:30am GMT already... [04:30] SwimmingRaat: there are a lot of forums on it (none have helped thus far) [04:30] Izinucs: Ok what's that mean for my xrandr commands? [04:31] k i see pidgin lotus what now [04:31] AbortD: where do you see pidgin? [04:31] in that folder u told me about [04:31] to i remove the empathy one? [04:31] AbortD: I told you about a couple of folders [04:31] daskreech: not with xrandr.. there's an xorg.conf now.. or should be... that's where you need to make a change [04:31] ph yeah [04:31] /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications [04:31] that folder [04:32] AbortD: okay you see pidgin in that folder? type "less pidgin" and make sure it says something like /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop [04:32] this is really strange... i'm having errors with every chat program available [04:32] curses, linux can be such a hassal [04:32] nin-ja: what *kind* of errors? [04:32] im in the folder physically [04:33] AbortD: also, make sure the pidgin.desktop file exists and looks like http://pastebin.com/4FHra0H3 [04:33] Losha: Basically, when i'm on any chat client, it logs me in and out of my account. [04:33] daskreech: check the vertical too.. it's really wide [04:33] hi [04:34] Losha: With empathy it just complains and says there's a network error [04:34] AbortD: /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/pidgin I don't think should be a folder. It's not on my computer, it's just a file here. And in the file there's only one like that reads: /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop [04:34] how do I dl a whole subversion revision locally? [04:34] same lotus [04:34] s/only one like/only one line [04:34] Losha: with pidgin it gives me a whole host of errors... [04:34] yup [04:35] AbortD: okay. So then http://pastebin.com/4FHra0H3 should be the contents of your /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop file aswell [04:35] so i have to add that file? [04:35] k let me check that [04:35] nin-ja: I'm not sure what that means. I've never used empathy or pidgin. I use xchat, or sometimes, chatzilla... [04:35] AbortD: be specific. What file? [04:35] sec [04:35] nin-ja, you on wifi? [04:36] Losha: Yes [04:36] nin-ja: I'd check to make sure you're not connecting through a proxy. Especially Tor. [04:36] nin-ja: yes, you're on wifi? I agree with lotus and nunya. Sounds like a network connectivity problem... [04:36] nunya: yes... but the problem is restricted to chat programs like pidgin and empathy [04:37] thats what pidgin.desktop looks like [04:37] do i need to uninstall empathy now and it will take its place? [04:37] AbortD: okay. Just remove the pidgin (or libpurple) entry from /home/user/config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist and you should be good. You'll have to restart the indicator applet ofcourse [04:37] nin-ja, you could test if it's a wifi problem. [04:38] nunya: why would it be restricted to only chat programs if its a wifi issue? [04:38] o [04:38] i'm trying to copy a whole disk with dd but the transfer speed is about 250kbps [04:38] its gonna take ages [04:38] 大家好 [04:38] nin-ja: are you positive it's not configured under tools->preferences->network->configure proxy to use anything other than "diret connection"? [04:38] is this normal? [04:39] I really need help [04:39] I installed Xubuntu with XP installed [04:39] nin-ja, good question... [04:39] 不知道这个怎么用耶 [04:39] However, I can't access either [04:39] Xubuntu: is it a boot loader issue? [04:39] it just helps narrow down what it could be. [04:40] I believe so [04:40] Can anyone recommend a partition layout for a 4-disk raid10 system to install 9.10 ... i understand boot needs its own raid1 device, and following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID ... swap doesn't ever appear to be placed into raid ... so what happens if a drive fails? [04:40] nin-ja, also check what lotus is saying. [04:40] I checked with GParted and both partititions are still there [04:40] Xubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows might be helpful [04:41] how can i have a custom greeting when i login to ssh? [04:41] I will check it out thank you [04:41] nin-ja, nunya ,I had sometimes issues with miranda on XP that were solved by enabling an option like send keepalives or something like that, did'nt find that in Empathy tho [04:41] StormTide, swap is temporary === lotus is now known as lotus_isNotHere [04:41] like hello frosty!? or something [04:41] greezmunkey, ya, but the box is gonna crash if an in-use swap drive goes away [04:42] whereas if the swap was in raid 1, it would just hum along happily no? [04:42] Izinucs: What is the vertical? [04:42] daskreech: 50-100 [04:42] StormTide: It is possible to use a swap file rather than a partition, although I don't know how "ubuntu standard" that approach is. [04:43] greezmunkey, so the standard is to expect a crash and hope it reboots degraded correctly? [04:43] frosty: /etc/motd [04:43] thanks [04:43] greezmunkey: as far as I know, swap files are fully supported... [04:43] also, im questioning rather with no fstab linking the other 3 drives to swap... that is swap running only on sda in that setup instruction? === lotus_isNotHere is now known as lotus [04:44] StormTide: There you go, use a swap file, and place that on your RAID [04:44] lotus: I had some proxies active with pidgin i deactivated them, im now checking my network settings window [04:44] nin-ja: I'm sure you'll have better luck now. [04:44] greezmunkey, on its own raid 1 (like boot) or just as a file on the raid10 [04:45] nin-ja: unless you need a proxy to access the internet [04:45] nin-ja: in that case, I got nothing. [04:45] the force is strong in lotus [04:45] StormTide: Just a file on the system... [04:45] daskreech: you gettin' there? [04:45] nunya: I was just thinking that... [04:45] lotus: Alright I hope it works now [04:45] nunya: These are not the droids you are looking for. [04:45] how can I force cups to start when the system boots? [04:45] ha [04:45] you guys know any sort of ASCII Generator ? for terminal or a website [04:46] lotus i dont have that black list directory [04:46] randomusr: did you install server then gnome? [04:46] Izinucs: There was no xorg.conf I'm just putting back the one I had before it had the Horiz and Vert commented out (Way larger than those ranges) [04:46] AbortD: lucky you :) it caused me a headache or two. [04:46] lzinucs, I'm just running the desktop 9.10 [04:46] frosty: an ASCII generator? The man pages aren't random enough for you? [04:46] AbortD: it was /home/user/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist [04:46] :P [04:47] i have no home/user [04:47] daskreech: ah.. that's weird.. the nvidia install should have asked you to create a xorg.. or maybe that's nvidia-settings that will do that. [04:47] Izinucs: ok so I've moved it back to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in theory I should be able to stop the display manager and start it back and X should read from the conf file? [04:47] AbortD: user is your username, boss. [04:47] my pc has been on all day, sound worked this morning and tonight now, it does not work. if I attempt to close firefox, in ubuntu 9.10 , I hear the drum sounds, and suspect the sound will be restored if I log out, but I'd like to just refresh whatever it is that is preventing sound from working now, without logging out [04:47] home/.config [04:47] oh [04:47] haha [04:47] Izinucs: nvidia-settings does taht [04:47] daskreech: yes [04:47] AbortD: ;) [04:47] you should put un [04:47] Does anyone use cryptsetup together with LVM? I have a strange problem after updating my karmic from just-from-dvd install to latest packages. I can't boot the system properly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/450620/comments/18 [04:47] Losha, /dev/urandom should be pretty random ;) [04:47] darkk^: I use full disk encryption with LVM [04:48] uh oh <_> [04:48] lotus, /boot is usually unencrypted ;-) [04:48] Pidgin error -- "Received unexpected response from http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession" [04:48] darkk^: but I don't use dist-upgrades. They break stuff for me. [04:48] hello. An SD card mounts ok on my mini with SD port. However, on my desktop, where i have one of those multiformat USB card readers, the SD card mounts as read only. How can i get it to mount as read/write? [04:48] lzinucs, how can I make cups start with the system? === uways is now known as uwaysz [04:48] darkk^: yeah, but that's gotta be how it is, yes? [04:48] how do i restart the indicator? [04:48] nunya: frosty isn't talking, so it's hard to know what it's for.... [04:48] darkk^: I like putting /boot on a jump drive ;) [04:48] where's the best place to purchase cpus? [04:48] s/place/site [04:49] lotus, right. that was fresh karmic install, it was not dist-upgrade, I just installed latest security updates... [04:49] oberdada, you sure the mechanical switch on the sd-cardis set to writable? [04:49] randomusr: it should be a demon and start automatically.. if not then the only thing I can suggest is reinstalling cups. [04:49] oberdada, I have not had that problem. Multiformat card reader works like a charm. I realize that doesnt help you. It's FYI. [04:49] AbortD: short of rebooting, I'm not sure. But there IS a way. [04:49] darkk^: oh, so what's the issue? [04:49] brb [04:49] shazbotmcnasty: microcenter, newegg, frys when they have a combo sale.... [04:50] lotus, the system does not boot properly after kernel update (init=/bin/bash is not my dream) :-) [04:50] sound? what would cause sound to stop working? [04:50] ubutom2: I know you ment that you didn't do a release upgrade.. but a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does not take you to the next release .. it only upgrades packages with your current version.. ie 9.10 or whatever. [04:50] darkk^: doesn't boot properly or doesn't boot at all? Can you get your disk to decrypt? [04:51] yes, it decrypts, init=/bin/bash works. [04:51] SwimmingRat: thanks anyways. I was hoping someone among the other 1321 users knew something about that === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:51] bonez2046: I've seen people here claim that sound spontaneously stops working in 9.X.... [04:51] lotus, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/450620/comments/18 - details and sort of "screenshot" of boot log [04:51] btw- the mechanical switch on the SD card is set to writeable [04:52] oberdada: did you try a different usb port for the adaptor? [04:52] Losha: thanks.. I know it will start working right with reboot.. it's just a pain.. [04:52] Why do all the computer store websites suck? [04:52] shazbotmcnasty: try tigerdirect.com.. [04:52] shazbotmcnasty: because you haven't gone to newegg.com [04:52] miccrodirect.com sucks [04:52] lotus, I have [04:52] it's meh [04:52] ;) [04:52] shazbotmcnasty: or newegg like lotus suggests. [04:52] I just like their policies [04:52] newegg and zipzoomfly are pretty good to me [04:52] Izinucs, tigerdirect is not very good [04:52] darkk^: let me check my boot stuffs [04:53] their prices are like...mac prices [04:53] lzinucs - the port i'm using is on the motherboard. The usb card reader is one of those that fits into the 3.5 floppy slot on the chassis [04:53] for cpus that is.. [04:53] lotus, according to /var/log/apt/... my kernel was upgraded from 2.6.31.14.27 to 2.6.31.20.33 [04:53] bonez2046: you could try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart .... [04:53] oberdada, is it also ubuntu on the otherpc?samefilesystem? [04:53] oberdada: ah.. that might be the issue.. I remember something from a while ago (1 year +) where some of those had issues... no idea why though. [04:53] ubutom2: mini-8.04 desktop:8.10 [04:54] darkk^: can you select your old kernel from the boot menu? [04:54] lotus, no, it's not available [04:54] i want to create a /home mount point on my 2nd drive -- but it's not letting me do that with the live cd, suggestions? [04:54] darkk^: I'm guessing you're running grub2 right? [04:54] I tried sudo update-grub2 but it didn't work [04:54] shazbotmcnasty: if you're bargainhunting, slickdeals is a good resource.... [04:54] lotus, right. [04:54] lzinucs- you're saying, the usb card reader is hopeless? [04:55] darkk^: did you try sudo update-grub ? [04:55] darkk^: you shouldn't have to, imho. [04:55] darkk^: but it couldn't hurt [04:55] lotus, update-grub or update-grub2 ? [04:55] darkk^: ;) I don't know. [04:56] I'm getting an dialog box in GParted that says "Failed to mount 82G volume. The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." [04:56] darkk^: but on my comp update-grub autocompletes (ie update-gr) as unique [04:56] and I'm quite confident I'm running grub2 [04:56] hey [04:56] hey sabdfl is online on some channel. I dont know which channel [04:56] hellsyeah hellyeah [04:56] lotus, hehe, update-grub2 is just a dumb wrapper that calls update-grub so there is no difference at all :-) [04:56] Blue11: I'd like to know what you're typing, and what it says when it fails for starters... [04:56] lotus, now you know ;-) [04:56] darkk^: score ;) [04:56] i am following this address http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [04:56] Anyone know how to disable the screen from going blank after about 5min of idling? I disable the Power Management for the screen for both AC and Battery. [04:57] Losha: sudo mkdir /home [04:57] let me go to other system and get message [04:57] Losha: thanks.. [04:57] when i do chroot /mnt/ chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [04:57] bonez2046: did it make any difference? [04:57] AllYourBases: xD nice name [04:57] i see this error i am on ubuntu live system [04:57] oberdada, just read some similar problem,have you tried to copy something on it with sudo? [04:58] what can i do [04:58] Can I ask Ubuntu / Apache2 questions here? I'm new with both and need help seeing the perfectly obvious [04:58] mrowdy: you can... [04:58] mrowdy: I'm not sure what's "perfectly obvious" :) [04:58] Hi folks. I've just installed a wireless card (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UOC3QK/ref=oss_product). It's working for the most point, but it has a bit of a quirk. At seemingly random intervals, the machine will stop accepting traffic from other machines on the network. If I physically log into the machine and ping one of the other machines, suddenly it starts working again for a while. [04:58] by the way, does anyone have an idea why SysRQ-B does not reboot my PC? [04:58] ubutom2: yes. i've tried chmoding it- it wont let me [04:58] Losha: send me a bill, my new friend.. that fixed it.. I'll tuck that away!!!! [04:58] oberdada, in the text i readit randomly was mountedroor rw, then it was plugged in as another user and it worked [04:59] bonez2046: world:0 Losha:1 [04:59] pls someone help me [04:59] lotus - I'm sure it must be obvious and I'm looking too hard! [04:59] and echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger works fine =) [04:59] Losha - thanks, I'm having problems with SSI at the moment [04:59] it just gives me a command prompt but it never creates the home directory on sdb2 [04:59] frodwith: update kernel (if you havent). I have similar problems with WPA Enterprise networks [04:59] The shtml file loads but the server-parsed date doesn't show [04:59] :) [04:59] hellyeah: You're sure you're not booting off a CD into a Live environment? [04:59] I've restarted apache as root, so that shouldn't be the issue - right? [04:59] ubutom2 - i tried mkfs'ing it. it didnt work (cannot format a mounted drive, cannot find the device if its not mounted) [05:00] lotus, oops, kernel panic, unable to mount root fs ;-) [05:00] morning :X [05:00] i am booting live cd [05:00] lotus: what did you upgrade to that fixed it? [05:00] mrowdy: I don't know if you're supposed to start apache as root. I thought it ran as it's own user? [05:00] not i am in ubuntu live cd lotus [05:00] now* [05:00] ubutom2: what d'you mean mounted roor rw? [05:00] Blue11: just typing mkdir /home will create a directory, but not necessarily on a particular device. You have to mount the device first e.g. sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /home [05:00] Izinucs: Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude [05:00] frodwith: I haven't "fixed" yet. I changed from network-manager to wicd and will find out tomorrow it it helps at all [05:00] mrowdy: I could be wrong [05:01] daskreech: yeaaaaaaa? working? [05:01] lotus: Ah. I'm using wicd right now, actually. [05:01] lotus - I originally did it that way, but couldn't do the password authentication until I started as root [05:01] darkk^: ahh! [05:01] so I assumed that Ubuntu 8.04 has some security settings I don't know about [05:01] Izinucs: My res is so high that all my fonts look like size 4 [05:01] It's like 1920 or something [05:01] This is great! [05:01] mrowdy: password authentication on... what? [05:01] now I can work on getting me some glasses! [05:01] i need help [05:01] daskreech: lol! .. you're there! .. [05:01] oberdada, in the example the user was able to write to the card with sudo nautilus [05:01] on an html page [05:01] frodwith: :D then try networkmanager ;) [05:02] mrowdy: probably a directory permissions problem [05:02] daskreech: I've done my good deed for the day.. now I can sleep :) [05:02] lotus: rofl, might give that a shot. [05:02] Izinucs: I don't beleive it was the horizontal sync the whole time. What on earth made it break [05:02] mrowdy: don't run your server as root. IT's a really bad idea :) [05:02] ubutom2: oh i see. i wasnt able to do that [05:02] oberdada, and he tried it with another normal user account and then the sd-card worked again, odd [05:02] Izinucs: Sleep till Saturday [05:02] I'll restart it then, and what permissions do I need on a directory in which the shtml file resides? [05:02] daskreech: wish I could.. no idea what broke it.. but I'd make a copy of that xorg and save it in a safe place.. [05:03] Izinucs: I did already [05:03] :) [05:03] daskreech: enjoy! I gotta run/sleep/dream [05:03] Nice [05:03] night [05:04] mrowdy: also, try asking in #httpd they'll be able to answer more specific apache problems. But namei -l "file_with_password_stuffs" might be useful [05:04] ugh tonight is just not my night... [05:04] now its failing to read my external HD [05:04] chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory ubuntu live cd how can i fix that error [05:04] hi all. is there a way i can enable multicast on a ppp linK? [05:04] i try to configure grub [05:04] the odd thing is, an usb stick mounts ok on the multiformat reader, but an SD card wont: it mounts as read-only [05:04] frustrating X_X [05:04] mrowdy: oh gosh, it's a good thing to know but I don't know it. #web will know the permissions. I think its 611 on directoris and 644 on files but I could be wrong. [05:04] lotus, ok, now I have old kernel and new kernel, old one hangs some boot script and new one does not have initrd (that's why it can't mount root) [05:04] lotus, stay tuned :-) [05:05] darkk^: I wish I could be more helpful. I'm about ready to go to bed, though. IT's 5:00 GMT! [05:06] lotus - I'll set 611 on the directory and check with #httpd [05:06] thankd [05:06] er [05:06] thanks [05:06] mrowdy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:06] mrowdy: erg careful [05:06] mrowdy: 611 on EVERY directory leading upto the file is necessary for access to the file [05:06] mrowdy: If it is, indeed, 611 that directories need [05:06] mrowdy: that's why namei -l is useful [05:07] ok [05:08] how do i get back to gdm? [05:08] Hey all, I have a question regarding ubuntu 10.04 64 bit install and it giving a cannot create ext4 error on my drive when trying to do a fresh install, and the hard drives are good. Anyone have any hints? [05:08] i tried out kubuntu [05:08] now i wanna go back to GNOME [05:09] run xorg [05:09] nixpet, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [05:09] ty [05:09] mtx_init, run it? i'm in KDE right now, i would hope that xorg or something like it is running... [05:09] abstrakt, you did the same thing i did :) [05:09] mtx_init, obviously i can log out, choose GNOME as my session and log back in [05:09] abstrakt: sorry, I thought you were in the terminal. [05:09] thats usually the complaint [05:10] mortici, yeah so far switching to KDE and emacs instead of GNOME+vim has been epic fail [05:10] abstrakt, kde4 is an epic fail thats all :) [05:10] mortici, heh [05:10] so, how do i get back to GDM [05:10] can i run gconf-reconfigure gdm or something? [05:10] debconf reconfigure gdm? [05:10] abstrakt, Are you trying to restart GDM ? [05:11] does anyone have the deb package of aMSN 0.98.3 ??? [05:11] abstrakt, "sudo gdm" [05:11] Is it possible to copy DRM protected DVD in linux? [05:11] edbian, i'm in KDE right now, i set kdm as my default when it installed [05:11] edbian, he wants to set gdm as the default session manager [05:11] edbian, i want gdm to be my default now [05:11] mortici, yup [05:11] abstrakt, i would think dpkg-reconfigure gdm would do the trick [05:11] oberdada, did you try to connect the reader to the mini? if it doesn't work there either, it could be a driver bug, or sth like that, has it ever worked read/writable before with ubuntu? [05:11] mortici, k thx [05:11] abstrakt, "dpkg --reconfigure gdm" is my guess [05:12] Hello everyone. I've been wondering if it is possible to run the x.server for a single application from the cmd shell. I'm wondering this because I would like to know if it's possible to harness all of the hardware on a computer for a single program at once. [05:12] Mainly this would be for virtual PCs and/or gaming. [05:12] stupid laptop, upgraded 10.04 and now it hardlocks when it gets to GDM and i start to type, if i don't type its fine, if im in recovery its fine with typeing, the moment i continue the reboot it fails [05:13] Any ideas on if this would be possible? [05:13] ubutum2: i've not tried to connect it to the mini. the reader is one of those that fits into the 3.5 floppy space on a desktop computer [05:13] mortici, sounds like a bug, also lucid is in #ubuntu+1 [05:13] bazhang, indeed and indeed, just sayin' :P === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [05:13] can i check out 10.04 via live cd? [05:13] I know this isn't the right channel, but can someone help me with some basic questions about wireless security? [05:13] So I'm trying to setup VirtualBox. But it's not recognising that I have a windows DvD in my DvD drive. Ubuntu see's it but my virtual box does not. it just says "no bootable medium found! System halted" any help? [05:13] whateversam, which application? virtualbox? [05:14] Anyone know how to disable the screen from going blank after about 5min of idling? I disable the Power Management for the screen for both AC and Battery. [05:14] A friend installed sshd on a friends 9.10 live cd. can I log in with user:"ubuntu"? what is the password? [05:14] Psychoholic, mount the drive prior to launching the session [05:14] bazhang, Sure, virtualbox would be great. Being about to pick and choose would be better though. [05:14] or enable passive mode [05:14] JimmyNeutron screensaver? [05:14] oberdada, I don't have one of those,I'm using a camera in SD-Card Reader modesometimes,maybe this would be a workaround until you find a way to fix your problem [05:15] how? still new to ubuntu [05:15] lappie, I didnt see any screensaver...just a blank screen...I'll double check [05:15] holy epic fail batman! [05:15] whateversam, you would need to specify more clearly what you are trying to do, doubtful that vbox would need 'all your system resources' [05:15] oberdada, in = as [05:15] lol, back to good ol' GNOME [05:15] w00t [05:15] GNOME+vim ftw [05:15] for real [05:15] PsychoticEGG, launche Vbox, click your installation (win7) click settings, click Storage, select the CD rom and enable passthrough [05:15] ok. thanks ubutom2 [05:15] thx peeps, ttyl [05:16] how to join for java channel help me any one [05:16] Ashok, /join #java [05:16] Ashok, /join #channelname [05:16] ok, it's late, i don't know what I'm typing anymore,lol, I meant I use the cameras as an sd-card reader and in sd-card-reader mode _) [05:16] Bazhang, Well I'm thinking that if one pulled it off they would be using 100% hardware for Virtualbox/Wine for 3D gaming at peak preformance. [05:16] where to enter tat [05:17] grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:17] bazhang: where to enter how to join [05:17] why it doesnt work [05:17] Psychoholic, also if you have the iso for win7 you can attach it to the drive there :) [05:17] oberdada, the two computers aren't on a LAN I suggest? [05:17] nope [05:17] does suspend and resume work in Ubuntu 9.10? [05:17] whateversam, didn't know that vbox allowed 3D gaming; wine would seem the only option, but using everything for wine would not take all the resources, as there a ton of other things that need to run as well [05:18] lot [05:18] Ashok, where you are typing right now [05:18] ps someone help me [05:18] it is showin unsupported command [05:18] Ashok, without the space----> /join #channelyouwishtojoin [05:18] bazhang: it is showin unsupported command [05:18] oberdada, and the reader has worked before with ubuntu or was it always like that? [05:18] Ashok, which irc client === frosty is now known as frosty_ [05:19] люди помогите: веб камера отоброжает в корчневом диапозоне. ТОЛЬКО выличила ее зеленость в скайпе, установила в системе а тут такое. [05:19] freenode [05:19] i've not tried it on windows, as my windows partition on the pc died [05:19] blondinka, #ubuntu-ru [05:19] уже [05:19] just ubuntu, ututom2 [05:19] молчуны там [05:19] Ashok, the text box you are typing in now type:/join #java [05:19] Ashok, not network, but IRC client - xchat? xchat-gnome? [05:19] bazhang: freenode [05:19] there is a channel like ubuntulive [05:19] blondinka, english here, /join #ubuntu-ru [05:19] blondinka, Your text is all scrambled [05:20] oberdada, what I mean is, did you manage to use the reader with ubuntu before as intended? [05:20] Is it possible to rip a DRM protected DVD in linux? [05:20] Ashok, freenode is not an irc client; xchat, pidgin, irssi, etc are [05:20] mortici:showing unsupported command [05:20] i.e. mounting an SD-Card rewritable [05:20] thank you [05:20] what are you typing? [05:20] xchattel me how to join in xchat [05:20] edbian, using libdvdcss from medibuntu and k9copy? should be [05:20] bazhang, I'm still learning about linux, but from what I've seen one can control the x server after it is running. (alt+ctrl+f1, and reboot x with options enabled.) I'm working on the theory that it may be possible to run x only for your game. While you game the rest of the programs can sit without x support. [05:20] edbian, it all depends on the DVD. No way to tell except by trying a few ways. [05:20] any program to read pdb files?? [05:21] mortici:/join#java [05:21] ubutom2: nope. never could use it as intended on the machine its on. the read-only SD card wont even let me Gparted it [05:21] dsnyders, Thanks [05:21] bazhang, [05:21] Ashok, like that, only with a space "/join #java" [05:21] Ashok, /join #java [05:21] can someone help me with this real quick? > http://pastebin.com/ys7NammX [05:22] mortici:unsupported command agian [05:22] oberdada, hm, ok,as I don't know how to fix this, my advice would be to replace the reader, if possible :) [05:22] Ashok, you have yet to tell us your irc client [05:22] oberdada, or maybe you can test a live cd with it [05:22] edbian, I've had some success with mplayer's dumpstream option. [05:22] Ashok, it should be typed "/join #java" NO QUOTES [05:22] oberdada, or even consider an upgrade to 9.10 [05:22] bazhang, xchat [05:23] Ashok, can you right click? [05:23] blondinka I Dont думаю, что кто здесь говорит russion, попробуйте Google http://translate.google.com Переводчик [05:23] Ashok, xchat or xchat-gnome? there is a difference, but AFAIK both will support "/join " typed in [05:23] bazhang, where [05:23] lappie, #ubuntu-ru for Russian [05:23] Ashok, what about going to Server in the menu bar up top, then clicking join channel... [05:23] Ashok, #java right click that join channel [05:24] oberdada, there's a chance it could be working with a newer release [05:24] that's an idea [05:24] 呵呵 [05:24] bazhang, xchat irc [05:24] blondinka или типа / присоединиться Ubuntu-RU для русского комнату [05:24] !cn | kendisk [05:24] kendisk: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:24] kendisk, what's with the little drawing of a townhouse? [05:24] lappie, he is in there already [05:25] alguien habla español ? [05:25] bazhang, if he can't do none of those three methods, i declare him a troll :) [05:25] blondinka, lappie - English here in #ubuntu, please. Russian in #ubuntu-ru. [05:25] dsnyders, its chinese [05:25] ahh mkay [05:25] mortici, not a troll, just not technically minded [05:25] bazhang, can't be. This is an english language chat. [05:25] algun español en el server ?? [05:25] dsnyders, many other language users come here and are re-directed. [05:25] hello [05:26] elipsys, /join #ubuntu-es por espanol [05:26] bazhang, mmmmm possibly :) [05:26] would anyone be willing to help with getting more than 2 sides to my cube? in 10.04 [05:26] jaybreese, #ubuntu+1 for lucid , may also try #compiz [05:26] bazhang, I know. I was joking... or at least trying to. [05:26] bazhang ok , tk [05:26] jaybreese, in the lower right corner right click the desktop picker, and increase the count to 4 :) [05:26] jaybreese do you have more than 2 workspaces? [05:27] mortici, that is for desktops, he need s to choose in ccsm [05:27] bazhang, it updates in ccsm :) [05:27] bazhang, at least thats how i did it :) [05:28] Woot! Ktorrent for windows..hell yea.. [05:28] ... [05:28] how do I stop xchat from connecting to this network automatically [05:28] jasonop8, Good news! Do they have a OneNote for linux yet?

[05:29] Strack, click xchat in the upper left corner, chooce network list, click ubuntu server, then edit, then remove the channel :) [05:29] I cant apt-get install from a live cd, I am connected to via ssh. How can I make it install x11vnc server? [05:29] jasonop8, ubuntu support question in there? [05:29] anything better than rhythmbox but not songbird? [05:29] ok thanks [05:29] hey i am having trouble selecting desktop session types [05:30] hi there, i want to use some stuff from mint. can someone tell me the apt line for the repository? thx in advance [05:30] my login screen is bugged [05:30] hello wt r the channels for java any one tel me and im unable to connect to any channel tel me the reason [05:30] disappearedng, you may try banshee, depends on your needs [05:30] disappearedng, define "better"... for simple album playing, I love Muine. Simple, fast & elegant. [05:30] nope...but I'm just happy is all. [05:30] Ashok, are you registered and identified to services? #freenode right click join that channel for help [05:30] disappearedng, I use mplayer for everything. [05:30] I don't need any support. not now at least. [05:31] Ashok are you connected to the right server that hosts the java channels? i think ure wanting freenode, but u can get to this channel from the ubuntu server or freenode [05:31] jasonop8, okay, general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , please [05:31] to do a manual installation of ubuntu, what partitions do I need, and what sizes are absolutely necessary? [05:31] I cant apt-get install from a live cd, I am connected to via ssh. How can I make it install x11vnc server? [05:31] nin-ja, do you wish a separate home partition? [05:31] Hi. Can someone tell me what rules or application is responsable for automonting drives like pen-drives, usb disks, etc ? (maybe udev?) [05:32] nin-ja, / swap /boot at least [05:32] just out of curiousity, but are you an admin or something? [05:32] bazhang: would a home partition make it run faster? [05:32] lappie, the 'ubuntu servers' just forward straight to Freenode, far as I know [05:32] bazhang: and how large must the swap be? [05:33] and actually, I do have a question, but there's no point in asking in the windows room, because they don't know anything.. [05:33] nin-ja, home partition is useful when things go awry or you wish to protect and fresh install but keep all your stuff [05:33] jasonop8, then /join #ubuntu-offtopic [05:33] nin-ja, is this a laptop [05:33] okay..so are you an admin? [05:33] bazhang i'll have a general partition in fat 32 for that XD; [05:33] bazhang: yes its a laptop D= [05:34] nin-ja, fat32 for what [05:34] bazhang: a kind of backup partition that both windows and linux can use [05:34] nin-ja, use ntfs for sharing with other OS [05:34] dick [05:34] * maginot thinks if auto-mounting devices is related to hal-storage-mount... [05:34] nin-ja, do you wish to hibernate? [05:34] bazhang: ya XD; [05:35] nin-ja, how much ram [05:35] bazhang: 2Gb [05:36] nin-ja, greater or equal to ram iirc best to be safe and give it 3GB [05:36] is there a point when as a stabber you should switch to long blades, or are short alway the best way to go [05:36] hm, wrong channel [05:36] maginot my best guess is pysdm [05:37] maginot maybe this is the info you [05:37] fiyawerx, /join #assassin [05:37] finally someone to talk ;) [05:37] r lookin http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 [05:37] stupid fat finger rofl [05:37] fiyawerx, I think you just won some sort of award for most random thing ever posted here... [05:37] bazhang: unfortunately it would be quite a task to upgrade the ram more. And its a bit old, so i'm not too interested in upgrading the laptop =\ [05:37] lappie, Hmmm let me take a look, just a sec .. . [05:37] ah [05:37] nin-ja, 3GB for swap, not upgrade the ram [05:37] bazhang: OH XDD; [05:38] dsnyders, its for ##crawl, actually [05:38] bazhang: so i just need, 3GB swap, a boot partition which is the root im guessing and thats it? [05:39] lappie, actually there is nothing to do with ntfs, well, I'm curious to know how does ubuntu (or maybe some other distro who does the same) automount usb devices when they are plugged, I have build a lfs distribution and still haven't this working on it, so maybe I could use the same ubuntu uses... [05:39] oh, thats way beyond me :) sorry [05:39] nin-ja, /boot is not root. you likely need both [05:39] lappie, okay, thanks anyway =) [05:40] nin-ja, 250mb or so for /boot 3GB for swap the rest for / unless you wish a separate home partition [05:40] Hello [05:40] maginot np good luck rofl [05:40] fiyawerx, I meant assassin as in hired killer, not the game. :-) [05:40] bazhang: alright thanks! [05:40] What is the difference between apt-get install and aptitude install [05:40] bazhang, Hmm 250mb for boot is way enought, I wonder if you will ever use all this space there [05:40] bazhang: anything else i should know while creating the partitions? [05:41] nin-ja, decide if you wish a separate home partition or not [05:41] for some reason the file path before $ from my bash shell has disappeared and not it is showing only -bash-2.2$ [05:41] and I don't tink 3gb of swap will ever work anyway [05:41] =) [05:41] how can I get my patch back before $ sign [05:41] is compiz fusion or gtk the better or "Crazier" of the two ? [05:41] im lookin to goof around with a flashy desktop etc [05:42] saganbyte, not much difference there both accomplish the same thing [05:42] ar0n, compiz has more flashy features [05:42] saganbyte, stick to using aptitude in my opinion , more easy to use [05:42] bazhang: sure i mind as well seperate a home partition as well [05:42] ar0n, they are different [05:43] nimrod10, Okay.. thanks [05:43] ar0n, compiz gives you more eyecand [05:43] !aptitude saganbyte [05:43] saganbyte, !aptitude [05:43] ar0n, and compiz have some filters proper to deal with effects not available on gtk [05:44] for some reason the file path before $ from my bash shell has disappeared and not it is showing only -bash-2.2$ [05:44] Is there a way to turn off and turn back on the graphical environment like to save memory and let your Desktop run as a server. Then you can SSH back in and call up the desktop GUI when you want to? [05:44] ar0n: What kind of graphics card do you have? [05:44] bazhang: oh what should the boot file format be? [05:44] ftab, /etc/profile have you looked there? or on ~/.bashrc ? [05:45] !aptitude | nimrod10 [05:45] nimrod10, please see my private message [05:45] !netsplit [05:45] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:45] maginot, that file is empty [05:45] ftab, which one? [05:46] ~/.bashrc [05:46] ftab, thats your problem.. [05:46] ftab, so its using the default on /etc/profile [05:46] bazhang: should i put the /boot partition before the swap? or does that really matter? [05:47] maginot, then what I need to do to force bash to remember the folder path [05:47] ? [05:47] ftab, you must have something like this on /etc/profile http://maginot.pastebin.com/jA5JvYy5 [05:47] ftab, no. you profile must look like the one I pointed you [05:48] um... i was doing a manual partition for ubuntu, and I was wondering if the SWAP partition should come before or after the /boot partition [05:48] ok [05:48] or if it really mattered [05:48] hey, the update fixed my sound [05:48] yay! [05:48] it doesnt matter nin-ja [05:48] the update didn't fix resume/suspend though [05:48] i did / swap home tho [05:48] does init3 disable the gui? [05:48] ar0n: cool good to know [05:49] and will init3 gain me memory? [05:49] ftab, if you can't edit /etc/profile cut and past that inside a new file called .bashrc on you home folder. But take care to not overwrite something, do it if you ~/.bashrc is inexistent or empty [05:49] ar0n: what formats did you use for home and root? [05:50] ar0n: i was just going to use ext4, i dont really know the difference between ext4 and the other exts tho [05:50] maginot, it worked like a charm, i wanted that for all users :-) === shazbotmcnasty is now known as ShazbotMcMurder [05:50] is automatix still around? [05:50] maginot, btw which line is responsible for that ? [05:50] aldaek, no. not supported either [05:51] ftab, yep, put inside /etc/profile [05:51] actually that is supposed to be your /etc/profile [05:51] ftab: the PS1= is your prompt [05:52] hi [05:52] Hi [05:52] maginot, ok got you thanks for your help [05:52] ne [05:53] KindOne, what a disaster... D: [05:53] hi , anyone known how can change font color in the messages meanwhile boot process ??, i quit the splash to see the messages and i want change font color [05:53] ftab, you're welcome [05:53] netjoing, always funny =X [05:53] adrian2mil10, for everything of just something specific ? [05:53] what is the SUPER key in all these compiz settings guys [05:53] adrian2mil10, you mean the grub? [05:53] ar0n, windows key === homer is now known as Guest69798 [05:54] maginot > all [05:54] ar0n, windows key [05:54] isolat3dsh33p > after grub when begin the load of kernel [05:55] adrian2mil10, I'm not sure how to do that. So you don't liek the funkeh xsplash huh. :/ [05:56] adrian2mil10, do you use framebuffer? [05:56] i don't wanna splash , i kick off the splash , i want see the kernel load messages [05:56] Ashok: please ask your question again, since everyone is back. [05:56] adrian2mil10, you have to open /etc/inittab [05:57] adrian2mil10, after each getty line you put -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` [05:57] change green and bold for whatever you want [05:57] magintot > i have in cmdline the order vga=0x317 [05:58] adrian2mil10, maybe you could check files in /boot :/ [05:58] adrian2mil10, did you get what I told you? Or its that way or you can recompile your kernel. Its up to you ;) [05:58] isolat3dsh33p, no. [05:58] maginot, so no config file huh. :/ [05:58] isolat3dsh33p, read above. You can edit /etc/inittab or recompile the kernel with option WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_BLACK [05:59] i'm using stock ubuntu kernel , only want change the font color and no splash [05:59] can i get java information here [05:59] adrian2mil10, read above, please. I just answered your question. [05:59] Ashok, /join #java [05:59] adrian2mil10, again. Open /etc/inittab and after each getty line you put -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` [06:00] yes thanks , you say change initab [06:00] adrian2mil10, change green for the color you want and took off -bold if you want. that is it. [06:00] adrian2mil10: could try splash=silent verbose on the kernel root=/dev/foo line in grub.for kernel messages while booting [06:01] adrian2mil10, and don't get confused, is inittab, with double "t" [06:01] maybe for try the first time it's a good idea [06:01] yes , inittab [06:02] of course, thats for changing the color, to have no boot splash is like nomad77 told. [06:03] i remenber one time i probing federo livecd i like the startup boot screen process showing the load with font color [06:03] since maginot brought up the question about mounting devices n such, i was wondering, is there a way to not show mounded devices on the desktop? [06:03] i remenber one time i probing fedora livecd i like the startup boot screen process showing the load with font color [06:03] adrian2mil10, you can make it permanent chaning /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:04] I know this isn' [06:04] I know this isn't the right place but anyone know a good xbox 360 channel? [06:04] i don't using menu.lst anymore , i'm using burg [06:05] adrian2mil10, sorry, I'm getting confused of what you're trying to achieve. If the idea is to take of the image and keep the text, so you have all information, but changing the boot splash I can't help you. And sorry, don't know burg. [06:05] lappie, yep there is, but first I have to know how to make they appear there to help you... lol [06:06] no , i quit the usplash , i want to see the kernel load messages with font in color not withe [06:06] lappie, I think I'm almost there, just tweaking ubuntu around trying to get it... [06:06] maginot i used the program i linked 2 u earlier to automatically mount my ntfs partition so i can access my public folder from windows :) [06:06] adrian2mil10, so you have all you need, take the boot splash like nomad77 said (or whetever burg does) and use the /etc/inittab for the colors [06:06] maginot act i think i just found my answer , how-to-geek has a page on it :) [06:07] lappie, but I'm trying to put some native support, like with hal and udev... [06:07] thanks , i will try [06:07] adrian2mil10, tell us later if it worked ;) [06:07] lappie, can I see it ? ;D [06:07] sure [06:08] who tried beta 1 as a main install here ? [06:08] http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 maginot there u go :_ [06:08] spiky25, lucid support in #ubuntu+1 [06:08] oops, wrong window [06:08] 1 sec [06:09] lappie, actually I'm more interesting on the how-to-geek link, maybe reversing it could help me understand my problem. [06:09] maginot sorry this is the correct page http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [06:10] I need to set motd with some good formatting and extra large font how can I do that, what is the utility for that to generate a big font text? [06:10] lappie, nah, was just a gconf configuration with nautilus... I think I will have to keep looking. [06:10] I need a very simple photo editor (comprable to mspaint, need circles, squares, text and lines with the ability to save). Ive just spent 2 hrs on a photo with gimp that should have been quick (slow computer...requires simpler software).

[06:35] BluShift, please don't use that sort of language here ?! [06:35] can you help? [06:35] ar0n, the right thing you should do is copy the plugin to /usr/mozilla/plugins and them make a link to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [06:35] yeah but what would be the proper way to do it, without using this other plugin i just grabbed [06:35] windows: you want to use your webcam. you need to run Photoshop. That's 2. [06:36] oh wait i get it [06:36] SwimmingRat, both work in ubuntu. photoshop only up to CS2 [06:36] How do I invoke GUI from Terminal console? [06:36] ar0n, btw, if you download flash player from its site you can just use its install as root. [06:37] BluShift: are you a windows user? [06:37] scribawf, there are many ways.

[06:38] Please take the Windows discussion to another channel [06:38] BluShift: why doesn't dir work on Ubuntu? [06:38] maginot: well that's a start tnx much [06:38] simoncpu: Because it's not as good, durr. [06:38] simoncpu, because ls is shorter... [06:38] maginot: well that's a start tnx much [06:38] scribawf, startx its the first thing do do the magic, them the proper way is using gdm or kdm or xdm [06:38] Guest61371: You're a noob. We dont talk to noobs. [06:38] but i don't think the net energy savings of using one less character is significant [06:38] interesting dir -a -s works. But why?

[06:45] SwimmingRat: I get the feeling it might be Flash. Does this happen with other Flash sites as well> [06:45] ? [06:45] timboy: Still, It is nice. Most KDE applications are better, like Kig is better than Dr. Geo [06:45] timboy: But to me, GNOME is better, :) [06:45] scribawf, take a look here, after understanding it try and any problem come ask for help again: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer :) [06:46] What's your favorite text editor? [06:46] rocket16, you can try stellarium (similar to kstars) [06:46] Mine is Kate [06:46] BluShift, gedit. [06:46] maginot: OK on my way will try most anything at this point, TU [06:46] rocket16, you can use kde applications inside gnome, just need kde libs... [06:46] Heh heh.

But still,wanted something better, :) [06:49] scribawf, you know that using startx isn't recommended right? The better way is with a session manager like gdm, kdm or xdm [06:50] 'startx' is so the 90s [06:50] BluShift, so far only on that page. It was happening a LOT a week or so ago. I asked in here. did some pastebins. was told it was my CD (which was just sitting there unused) so I removed the disk and it's been fine till today. [06:50] maginot: OK so lets see which one I really go with gdm, kdm or xdm? [06:50] rocket16, does this look useful? http://www.gnuplot.info/ [06:50] * maginot rocket16 says older with 1gb of ram, which makes me remind the times where 128mb of ram was just too much ;) [06:50] how to use gnome-desktop-item-edit to create submenu dir [06:50] this is driving me nuts [06:51] it will not let me move this file [06:51] scribawf, gnome, kde or remote sessions ? [06:51] maginot: gnome [06:51] ar0n: What? [06:51] scribawf, you can use any, but usually for gnome gdm is more common [06:51] darolu: Gnuplot is very useful, I try it in combination with Octave and wxMaxima. But it is not any cartesian system [06:51] can I just install ubuntu onto a USB flash drive the same way I would any other HDD? [06:51] maginot: yup just saw that as I typed it out Duh [06:51] darolu: Thank you still, for your effort, :) [06:51] ar0n, you must be as root, please, just use the installer from adobe site: www.adobe.com/getflashplayer [06:51] ar0n: What issue are you having? [06:52] ar0n: use sudo [06:52] k [06:52] maginot: is that from terminal command line? [06:52] maginot: I agree, :) But nowadays we have 4GB RAM as well in new PC Systems [06:52] ar0n: Or chmod 666 [06:52] cannot stat is the error [06:52] how to use gnome-desktop-item-edit to create submenu dir [06:52] scribawf, you just want to start a X sessions exporadic ?

[06:53] coz u are giving away account details [06:53] yes i have it [06:53] For Octave, QtOctave is an excellent GUI, but yago in GNOME is unstable [06:54] rocket16, are you telling gnuplot supports 3D singularities scripts but no cartesian cordenates? [06:54] its on my /home/user/desktop [06:54] hello, I'm having the "Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly." on a ubuntu server 9.10. I've checked where the sesion is stored(/var/php) and confirmed that it's accessable. I check the log, but can't find any phpmyadmin related error on my apache log. I'm installing phpmyadmin with apt-get. However, other webapps still can u [06:54] ar0n: Actually, better to just chmod 998 to be safe. [06:54] BluShift, this delay was you searching on google for it? [06:54] darolu: No, it does not. Because there is no Coordinate system, [06:54] oh, it's a phpMyAdmin error displayed right after I've submitted the phpmyadmin login form [06:55] darolu: GNUPLOT is excelleent, but it is a graph-plotter, not a function-plotter [06:55] furuno: Don't use XAMPP. Just install Apache and PHP from scratch. XAMPP tries to make things easier, but ends up making them more difficult. [06:55] maginot: Come again? [06:55] I wish there had been a System with the advantages of GNOME and KDE together, :) [06:55] yes I'm using ubuntu server 9.10 and installed it using tasksel (on os installation) [06:55] rocket16: it's called fluxbox [06:55] hehehe [06:55] BluShift, what? [06:55] rocket16: Such as? [06:56] maginot: I didn't understand what you meant. [06:56] simoncpu: Har har.

[06:57] furuno: ypu may find better service in #ubuntu-server [06:57] knoppies: I know. I'm fully aware.

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [07:06] BluShift, at least say it right.... [07:06] ardchoille: We're not actually speaking an Spanish. Haha. [07:07] darolu: I don't speak Spanish. Haha. [07:07] BluShift, seriously, random chatter in -offtopic [07:08] Madpilot: Do you get paid to op? [07:08] BlueShift: it's "una"... and since ubuntu sucks that much, what the hell are you doing here? [07:08] GreenT: I'm just having a bit of a troll, relax. [07:09] /ban [07:09] hahaha... nice [07:10] GreenT: I actually loved Ubuntu when I was new to Linux. In fact, I might switch back from Fedora because of the better support for strange hardware. [07:10] Fedora doesn't support strange hardware [07:10] BluShift: and yeah, all ops in here get paid loads of money... and they get $100 for each troll they show the way out of here ;) [07:10] BluShift, any more offtopic trollishness will earn a 48hr ban. No more warnings. Clear? [07:10] it doesn't even run on a toaster [07:11] simoncpu, what about a badger? [07:11] Ubuntu Toaster Edition... would like to see that ;) [07:11] Madpilot: I'm actually getting a bit of strange warm lump in my hand, so I think it's about time I parted anyways. Sorry for the troll, I actually do like ubuntu and #ubuntu. It's just one of my vices :) [07:11] what is the purpose of backtrack? [07:12] to track back [07:12] GreenT: Sweet deal. When can I start? [07:12] Madpilot: Thank you [07:12] * darolu bows to Madpilot [07:13] Is there's anyway to do remote desktop connection (or something like that) to a non-gui ubuntu box? (preferably from my windows 7 box) [07:13] furuno: ssh ? [07:14] remote desktop [07:14] furuno, openssh may work, you need to install cgywin to use it [07:14] furuno: VNC ? [07:14] furuno, ssh [07:14] cygwin* [07:15] darolu, furuno : putty supports ssh [07:15] furuno, read check this links http://www.cygwin.com/ & http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html [07:15] abhinav: oh yeah, why I forget about putty :P [07:17] hey abhinav thanks, I didn't know about putty; I got your memo btw, I'm glad you got that 64-bit ubuntu working. === sexghost is now known as sunkoo [07:22] Trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Win7 box; installing Karmic doesn't display Win7 in the grub, and running fixmbr from Win7 CD breaks ubuntu. Any help? [07:23] Tru7h, after installing 9.10 did you try running "sudo update-grub"? [07:23] darolu: Yes, I did. When I ran that command it caused grub to automatically boot ubuntu. [07:24] darolu: I can't get dual boot to work properly, but I don't want to have to use Wubi. [07:25] Tru7h, try following this: http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [07:26] question: is there any way to access the files you saved from ubuntu-wubi if you dont boot from that wubi? [07:26] does a mac compact imac keyboard work in ubuntu? [07:26] darolu: Thanks, I'll try those instructions and post the results. [07:27] outer_space1: I think it will [07:27] good thing, i just payed $65 to order one [07:27] outer_space1: First make a test-drive from Live-Ubuntu, [07:27] outer_space1: Then you can see it, :) [07:27] just the keyboard lol [07:27] i dont even have a computer yet im just ordering pieces [07:28] we need keyboards with the ubuntu key [07:29] outer_space1, keyboards with a Tux key exist, I think I've seen Ubuntu kbs too [07:29] outer_space1: Ubuntu can work with all Keyboards, I suppose [07:29] ive been searching for hours for a nice non-plastic compact keyboard [07:29] how come only apple delivers this? [07:29] they are monopolizing it [07:30] outer_space1, what architeture [07:30] most of my mdeia buttons dont work i havvve a compaq keyboard [07:30] usb keyboard, no keypad, made of metal mostly [07:30] zus, user xmodmap [07:31] *use [07:31] aluminum but plastic keys i think [07:31] SwimmingRat: read something about that, you have to make windows read a ext4 fs first [07:31] IIRC System76 keyboards come with Ubuntu key [07:31] how do i find it in kubuntu? [07:31] im too used to laptop keyboards to ever go back to those crazy pc designs with all that space between keys, and you have to press SO FAR DOWN! [07:32] it just makes my fingers tired [07:32] outer_space1, I'm the opposite, can't get used to cramped laptops with no key movement :) [07:32] i used to think that, but once you do, you type faster with less effort [07:33] outer_space1, good thing you never used an old mechanic typewritter machine; like Madpilot I also need to 'feel feedback' when typing [07:33] yeah my first pc had that, and i kept it for years with a din-ps2 converter [07:34] Is there a VRI package, Voice Recognition Input? [07:34] if it didnt break it would have a din-ps2-usb adapter [07:34] is facebook down? i can't login [07:35] darolu: When I run sudo update-grub I get "boot: No such file or directory". Is this OK? [07:35] I cant get my cam to work with tinychat, but it works fine with chatrt and cheese, any ideas? I set the flash permissions and I am in the video group [07:35] Tru7h, no, it means something is wrong [07:35] i found it nvm [07:35] outer_space1: Are you from SAN ANTONIO? [07:35] Ubuntu destroyed my new laptop [07:36] darolu: I've followed the instructions to the letter, what should I try next? [07:36] no but my IP is [07:36] Now I have a $800 brick [07:36] get outta here mark [07:36] im from florida! [07:36] MarkProffitt: what happened [07:36] Tru7h, most likely means the Windows 7 file you made has an error in the "set root" line; did you execute "sudo fdisk -l"? to check where windows is installed? [07:36] Grub how to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:37] i can already tell mark is here on a mission; to destroy the Ubuntu name [07:37] HPTwhite, be polite. [07:37] shishirdwivedi20: Are you from Lucknow? [07:37] just a guess though [07:37] dont mind me [07:37] I cant get my cam to work with tinychat, but it works fine with chatrt and cheese, any ideas? I set the flash permissions and I am in the video group [07:37] I just got a new HP laptop with Windows 7. I installed Ubuntu in a partitiion but it destoyed the partition table and now I can't boot anything and can't recover Windows either. [07:37] HPTwhite: Why so? Ubuntu is great, and indestructible [07:37] lol sounds like a job for GEEKSQUAD [07:38] hello i need help [07:38] MarkProffitt: ok so you need to use the recovery disks which came with your laptop [07:38] darolu: Windows is in sda2 for me, I assumed this meant I should set my root to (hd0,2); was I mistaken? [07:38] Shishirdwivedi29: From Lucknow? [07:38] i am Madpilot [07:38] Shishirdwivedi20: From Lucknow? [07:38] mtx_init: I am trying and it doesn't work. The computer is a brick [07:38] no [07:38] why rocket16? [07:38] im just saying a starting statement like that isnt too friendly [07:38] Shishirdwivedi20: Just a guess though, I am an Indian too [07:39] sorry for being so direct [07:39] MarkProffitt: make sure you are able to boot from a CD, try to press F11 or F12 right away and select CD/DVD drive [07:39] Tru7h, according to that link, you are correct; although I'm not very sure if sda2 = hd0,2 and not hd0,1 as it used to be; you may want to try changing hd0,2 to hd0,1 [07:39] Shishirdwivedi20: So, what is the problem? [07:39] ohh dats great rocket16 [07:39] ok [07:39] rocket16, please keep the offtopic chat to a minimum on this channel, OK? [07:39] i forgot my user name and password of ubuntu [07:39] HPTwhite, I'm not feeling very friendly. THis piece of shit destroyed my new laptop. [07:39] i dont understand it completely myself, but i wouldnt come into a support room for it with a statement like that [07:39] Madpilot: I am just talking to him about his problem, [07:39] so how can i access my operationg system [07:40] reformat your hd lol its not ubuntus fault [07:40] Shishirdwivedi20: Access Ubuntu? [07:40] darolu: Trying (hd0,1) produces the same error. [07:40] yeah [07:40] Shishirdwivedi20: Why? Using Login screen isn't enough? [07:40] ubuntu give any guest login facility? [07:40] MarkProffitt: your laptop is fine. [07:40] I cant get my cam to work with tinychat, but it works fine with chatrt and cheese, any ideas? I set the flash permissions and I am in the video group [07:40] Shishirdwivedi20: Oh! Forgot your Password? [07:40] how can you figure out IRC if you cant even reinstall windows? [07:40] yeah [07:40] MarkProffitt, "destroyed my new laptop" is pretty vague. Barring smoke, fire & explosion, I'm guessing an install went badly? [07:40] shishirdwivedi20: Here>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [07:41] ok vigo [07:41] Tru7h, when you do "sudo update-grub" does it get to the Windows 7 part, or prints the boot error for a Linux entry? [07:41] Shishirdwivedi20: O, I am opening a new dialogue Window, to help you [07:41] MarkProffitt: just a suggestion; if you're coming into a support channel please be more direct with your issue rather than making such a horrible opening remark; won't get many responses like that. but that's just my personal opinion; i don't speak for everyone when i say that [07:41] * maginot nothing like a coffee at 4:40am [07:42] darolu: It says "Adding Windows" but after the memtest image thing it says "ls: cannot access /var/lib/os-prober/mount/Boot" and then "boot: No such file or directory" [07:43] I can't get it to boot from CD [07:43] MarkProffitt, did you changed the bios to be able to boot your cd? [07:43] Tru7h, oh so it is not loading the os-prober; uhmmm gimme a sec [07:43] MarkProffitt, have you checked your BIOS settings? Boot order might need to be adjusted. [07:43] what message do you get mark? what kind of system do you have? do you have your BIOS set to boot from CD? [07:44] * maginot 3 equal answer maybe thats the real answer ? ;) [07:44] shishirdwivedi20: There are a few other ways, that one is the basic from Ubuntu , the forums have a few tips on that also, be careful in that area as you are /root and a backup is always suggested. [07:44] I don't have any system now [07:44] Help. I installed counter strike but it won't run. any tips? [07:44] darolu: I've tried running apt-get install os-prober but it's already installed. [07:44] Mark: Ubuntu 9.10 will boot from any system bootable by cdrom [07:44] MarkProffitt, do you know what BIOS is? [07:44] with the minimum sys requirements of course [07:45] MarkProffitt, BIOS is not your system. It's the really base level stuff that pops up when you first turn the machine on [07:45] When it boot I get a message to choose Window or Ubuntu, If I choose Ubunut it crashes. If I chose Windows the retore comes up and then fails. [07:45] BIOS doesn't care if there's an OS or not [07:45] Tru7h, yes, update-grub is supposed to load/run the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober but seems like it's not doing it [07:45] MarkProffitt, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS [07:45] Ther is no way to get to the BIOS [07:45] darolu: Do you know what else I could try? [07:45] markproffitt boot from your windows cd [07:46] MarkProffitt, did you readed what I pointed you ? [07:46] Every key I press on statrt up doesn't work [07:46] It won't boot [07:46] Tru7h, try "sudo os-prober" to see if it does find your Windows 7 [07:46] MarkProffitt, again, read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS [07:47] darolu: "sudo os-prober" returns "ls: cannot access /var/lib/os-prober/mount/Boot" and "boot: no such file or directory". [07:47] MarkProffitt, this will help too I think: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm [07:47] maginot I know what BIOS is. There is no way to get this computer to boot [07:47] MarkProffit: Hold Delete key, but look at Computer Hope .com for some very helpful data on that, could be a different key. or key set. [07:47] MarkProffitt, if you're getting to GRUB's choose-your-OS screen, it is booting past BIOS, at least [07:48] MarkProffitt, If you know what a bios is you wouldn't making some questions you did. Change in the bios the boot order to the CD. [07:48] must go, stuff to do before sleep. Later, all. [07:48] There is no way to get to the BIOS, and it can't get crashing no matter which OS I choose [07:48] MarkProffitt, but why are you trying to boot the CD, your problem isn't with your password? [07:49] I can't get this to boot to anything now [07:49] MarkProffitt, I gave up, I'm talking to a door. =/ [07:49] not from HD, it won't boot to CD, I can't get into BIOS ot change the boot order [07:49] so i partitioned my drive 4 ways 1st part. is 98se 2 and 3 are storage and 5 witch consist ofa swap and then a ext3 [07:49] do i want my mount point to be /boot or just / [07:49] I would love to have some meaninglyful suggestion [07:49] MarkProffitt: you cant get to the BIOS? [07:49] NO [07:50] I have said that 4 times now [07:50] well then get that fixed and come back when youre done [07:50] HOW ??????? [07:50] MarkProffitt, you have to go to a support place where someone could fix your hardware, this have nothingto do with ubuntu or even linux. [07:50] MarkProffitt: > http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000976.htm That may help. [07:50] (not being rude, but if you cant change BIOS boot order there's not much help we can provide [07:51] The computer was perfect right from the store ithen I tried to install Ubuntu and the thing is now a brick [07:51] Tru7h, maybe reinstalling os-prober will do it; "sudo apt-get remove --purge os-prober" and then "sudo apt-get install os-prober" [07:51] HPTwhite, its liking talk to a door. Really, I gave up. [07:52] *like [07:52] hmm i just found out "/" means root [07:52] cdoublejj, yep, its the deeper place of you filesystem ;) [07:52] and dangerous if you mes with it [07:53] very ;X [07:53] maginot: I know: but I was being blamed for being rude and I was just trying to stand my ground; I am far from rude. I just want to help. that was my whole point [07:53] You are rude [07:53] darolu: Upon reinstalling, I get "Package os-prober is not available, but is referred to by another package... E: Package os-prober has no installation candidate" (with some messages as the ...) [07:53] I am telling you exactly what is happening. I have read everything you have said [07:53] its not helping [07:54] MarkProffitt you are out of line. if i had the right permisssions you would be banned/kicked right about now [07:54] Synaptic: "Liferea is a simple FeedReader clone for GNOME." What clones here what? [07:54] MarkProffitt, HPTProffitt: No problem friends, just easy, :) [07:54] all we're doing is trying to help [07:54] MarkProffitt, you are ignoring the basic, blaming the system for your hardware problem (if there is any) and want us to make some magic for you. Please go learn the basics. [07:54] THEN HELP!!!! [07:54] Tru7h, "sudo apt-get install os-prober-udeb" [07:54] Its not a fucking hardware problem [07:54] It was perfect before Ubunutu trashed the computert [07:54] Easy all, no enmity here. [07:54] New out of the box working perfectly [07:55] MaskPoffitt: May I know the problem with your System? [07:55] Mark you might want to go another route then [07:55] if you cannot enter BIOS, it IS a hardware problem and now stop trolling [07:55] MarkProffitt, its obivious that you dont know what you are talkin about, not even the basic about how a computer works [07:55] Tru7h, if it fails download and install: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/os-prober [07:55] here in this community we are supportive of eachother [07:55] MarkProffitt: Friend, may I know the problem about your Computer System? [07:55] if you cant respect you dont belong here regardless [07:55] Sure supportive, I have been insulted continuously [07:55] !language | MarkProffit [07:55] MarkProffit: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:55] MarkProffitt, so take to the warrant [07:56] I can't get this back to Windows and I can't get it to boot the Ubuntu disc [07:56] so its stuck a brick [07:56] Easy all, MarkProffitt is new here, let us help him [07:56] MarkProffitt: Please, let me know of your Problem, [07:57] Yes I am new HERE but not to computers. [07:57] rocket we are trying to help, but Mark needs to be respectful [07:57] MarkProffitt, could you describe precisely which steps you took to get into this mess? [07:57] MarkProffitt, go and learn about how a computer works, how a bios works and how its related to you operaton system and you will learn that you are ignoring what we are talking. [07:57] Help. I installed counter strike 1.6 through wine but it won't run. any tips? [07:57] HTPwhite: I understand, and I respect your attitude to help, [07:58] MarkProffitt: Friend, can you please summarise your Problem? I did not get it, may be I can help [07:58] ori, wine help isn't on this channel. [07:58] ori: /j #winehq === sam_ is now known as Guest75794 [07:58] ori, Other than use windows for directX Im not sure. I think your going to have to find the #wine channel and hope they are active at the moment [07:58] llutz, what irc do you use? [07:59] I just got a brand new HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx with Windows 7 Home Premium. The computer was perfect. I tired to install Ubunut in a partition. It failed and trashed the partion table. Now I can't boot to anything and can't recover and can't reinstall Ubunut either. [07:59] darolu: Apt-get package failed; used the link you mentioned, os-prober was installed but sudo update-grub still displays the same message: "boot: No such file or directory" [07:59] maginot: ? [07:59] MarkProffitt, did it come with a windows7 install disc? Or a recovery partition? [07:59] llutz, /j doesn't work here lol ;P [07:59] MArkProffitt: Oh, that is easy, just reinstall Grub, may I say how? [07:59] maginot: /join then [07:59] kProffitt> HOW ??????? [07:59] *>* kProffitt> HOW ??????? [07:59] MarkProffitt, Your partition table have nothing to do with your BIOS. [08:00] wow /j doesnt work in what client? lol [08:00] No it did not come with a disc. I made a restore disc before doing this. [08:00] *>* Apologies, client issue [08:00] MarkProffitt: Do you have the Ubuntu Live CD? [08:01] I cant get my cam to work with tinychat, but it works fine with chatrt and cheese, any ideas? I set the flash permissions and I am in the video group [08:01] HPTwhite, actually you're right, works here, the last time I tried was about 6 years ago (I'm sure it doesn't work that time) lol [08:01] I have the disc that is made from downloading [08:01] MarkProffitt: Ok, that will do, :) [08:01] MarkProffitt: Ok, now I am saying how to reinstall grub, it is easy [08:01] loo maginot [08:02] rocket16, im listening. [08:02] lol* rather [08:02] knoppoes: Ok, lol [08:02] rocket16, It's posible that something crashed the ubuntu installation? [08:03] Tru7h, I just read that os-prober is not necessary, this may be risky but you can try it, "sudo aptitude purge os-prober" this will uninstall os-prober; then run "sudo update-grub" remember the 11_windows file you created? make usre it has the correct entry (hd0,2) [08:03] rocket16, I mean , to the poit it made de HD useless [08:04] MarkProffitt, Do you want to reinstall your ubuntu? So just make your BIOS boot the CD and reinstall it. A partition table problem doesn't stop you from doing that. [08:04] Lonia, technically anything is possible, but we are trying to look at a cup half full, and hoping that the partitions are still in tact. [08:04] Lonia: MAy be, but in that case, a full reformat is required [08:04] Lonia, useless until a next try, not useless to send to the trash [08:05] maginot, dont dump it in the trash, give it to me, I will make good use of it (at least some of it). [08:05] rocket16, Ok, I got into something similar a few years ago, the live CD solved it, hope it does this time [08:05] darolu: sudo update-grub succeeded; rebooting now [08:05] Lonia: Let us hope so, otherwise it will be hard [08:05] maginot,Ok I get it [08:05] * maginot talking about making a good use I need a 3th disk =X [08:05] rocket16, thanks for the reply [08:06] Tru7h, good luck [08:06] i have an interesting question.....not to sound like a noob or anything....but is there a way to run linux like in a virtual world? like not making a seperate partition and not just booting from a cd, but like a program/window of it? [08:06] darolu: Grub now loads the OS selection list, but Windows 7 is not on the list. [08:06] darolu: I have Linux 2.6.31-14-generic and the same as recovery mode, plus memtest86 [08:07] Tru7h, did you run "sudo update-grub" after editing your 11_windows file? [08:07] Lonia: My pleasure, :) [08:07] you can dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu....ive done it [08:07] HPTwhite, wubi? [08:07] wubi? [08:07] HPTwhite, yes, its called using a virtual machine, i recommend you look at suns virtualbox. [08:07] HPTwhite, http://wubi-installer.org/ [08:07] HPTwhite, t you mean like some of us use windows in Virtualbox? [08:07] HPTwhite: virtualbox will do it [08:07] jeanfi: There is better solution available. [08:07] darolu: Yes, I did. [08:07] Tru7h, OK, reboot and Windows should be on your list [08:08] !wubi [08:08] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [08:08] rocket16, probably I have no real experience I do the opposite, running windows in virtualbox in ubuntu:) [08:08] Tru7h, even if it is not displayed in the update-grub list (as it uses os-prober to generate that list) [08:08] Andre, I use VBox for many things like when need to do something on windows, but a good computer is recommended [08:08] darolu: Rebooting once more. [08:08] Tru7h, good luck [08:08] rocket16, but some friends are using wubi with sucess, what is the better tool? [08:09] jeanfi: Wubi is nice, but slow [08:09] maginot: /me use vbox too :d [08:09] * york105 dislikes wubi [08:09] is that ubuntu or just a linux virtualbox? === andrea is now known as Guest43620 [08:09] darolu: Ubuntu skips the GRUB OS selector altogether again. [08:10] hi [08:10] i use vbox on my ubuntu for fugates [08:10] qeqeqeqe [08:10] bored [08:11] HPTwhite, wubi will actually install Ubuntu and is not a virtual environment [08:11] ok that was a dumb question....ummmmmm......what distro is that virtualbox [08:11] fugates? [08:11] darolu: I'm currently using (hd0,2) in my 11_Windows file, should I try (hd0,1)? [08:11] HPTwhite: its a virtualization-software, no distro [08:11] VirtualBox is a Virtual Machine, it emulates other computers inside it. Its like a JVM for OSs [08:11] Tru7h, windows 7 may be on the list, but it's set to be hidden (the list) you need to configure your /etc/default/grub file [08:11] HPTwhite : /j #vbox [08:11] :d [08:11] HPTwhite: it is an application that lets you run an os in another os [08:12] thx gotto [08:12] denada [08:12] darolu: I'm in the file, what should I change? [08:12] rocket16, my understanding of wubi is that it is not a virtualization tool, it 'just' allow to have the root fs in a windows partition file, so just the i/o should have a performance impact I guess? [08:12] * york105 suggest using the grub-update command [08:12] Tru7h, comment the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 line [08:12] Tru7h, with a # in front of it: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [08:13] darolu: The line's been commented. Reboot? [08:13] whats a good free partition tool so i can dual boot vista/ubuntu? [08:13] Tru7h, yeah [08:13] HPTwhite, try partition logic [08:13] jeanfi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer) [08:13] HPTwhite, or gparted [08:14] ahhh gparted [08:14] HPTwhite, most of us use the LiveCD to do it, under System - Admin; you'll find GParted [08:14] i have that [08:14] does it matter what version? [08:14] darolu: I still can't select OS, ubuntu loads up right away [08:14] HPTwhite, no it doesn't unless you're wanting to do something fancy [08:14] Tru7h: pressing "shift" at boot doesn't bring up grub-menu for you? [08:15] llutz: I'll try that. [08:15] Tru7h, my bad, change the value of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true to GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false; then the line GRUB_TIMEOUT= sets the timer, in seconds i.e. GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 [08:15] After update udev at my initrd is broken - it does not even create /dev/sda* disks, /dev is almost empty. [08:15] llutz: No, shift does nothing. [08:15] HPTwhite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted [08:16] darkk^, thats not done on initrd [08:16] darolu: I'll do so. [08:16] is it okay to use my windows partition and set it's mount point /windows? [08:16] * york105 personally uses partition logic [08:16] maginot, ah, you're right, that's formally called initramfs. [08:16] i used it to set the partition but, forgot to format them [08:17] hi [08:17] now i have to tell ubuntu to boot from the last partition via partition manager [08:17] no you don't [08:17] partition logic is quite nice [08:17] no its not [08:18] maginot, anyway, that does not create any difference - my /dev is empty and initramfs script can't find root device (/proc/devices has proper devices, so kernel is ok) [08:18] cdoublejj, yes, i've been using it for some time now, useful if you want to inflate your ntfs partition [08:18] ackt1c: do you have any ubuntu-support question or helpfull answers? [08:18] can someone shed some light on this output when trying to access gparted... sudo gparted [08:18] [sudo] password for jamie: [08:18] Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key [08:18] (gpartedbin:8670): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [08:18] questions yes answers no [08:18] jamiewan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:18] darolu: Do you want me to uncomment the previously commented line (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0)? [08:18] well using fat32 cause i'm dual booting while trying to dual boot with 98 [08:18] ackt1c: then ask but stop spamming [08:18] i'm using 98 for games that don't emulate well [08:19] lol FloodBot XD [08:19] cdoublejj, you're not referring to windows 98 are you? [08:19] my perl can't find Apache::Registry i already installed libapache2-mod-perl2-dev and libapache2-mod-perl2 but to no avail. how to install this module under ubuntu? [08:19] jamiewan_: gksudo gparted [08:19] darkk^, your problem is with other partitions or is with your system partitions like / /usr /home /boot ... [08:19] Tru7h, if it is commented, yes; it is necessary [08:19] yes i am, 98se [08:19] cdoublejj: hi, should be able to mount a windows partition anywhere.. what do you plan on doing with it? [08:19] cdoublejj, wow, i haven't seen windows 98 in a decade now :D [08:19] Tru7h, otherwise time will be 0 [08:20] llutz: na get a scrambled version of the last output [08:20] the_gamer: go to System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager [08:20] i had wifi in 98 last time [08:20] 98 is still in use [08:20] ubuntu = mounted filesystem network [08:20] maginot, I'm quite confident that the issue is udev-related as I can mount everything by hands (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/450620/comments/18 for details) [08:20] * york105 finds cdoublejj using 98 impressive [08:20] darolu: I've uncommented the line and rebooted; the grub list is still skipped. [08:20] check the msfn forums [08:20] http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/8-windows-959898seme/ [08:20] ayam_jago, i already installed libapache2-mod-perl2-dev and libapache2-mod-perl2 which should include that perlmodule... it can't be found... [08:21] you can get xp compatibility for 98 as well as ntfs [08:21] the_gamer: have you tried "cpan -i Apache::Registry"? [08:21] kalesian, yeah [08:21] cool [08:21] why not blood nor shadow warrior emulate worth poo on dosbox [08:21] morning [08:21] otrs can't find it and won't run [08:21] i was wondering what ppa stood for [08:21] sceen [08:21] screen [08:21] Tru7h, that's weird, did you run "sudo update-grub" after editting the grub file? [08:21] morning Egyptian[web] [08:22] its all quicktime people [08:22] darkk^, looking at you bug post I only can assume that the problem is on your lvm partition [08:22] apple quicktime [08:22] from windows xp [08:22] !ops | ackt1c spamming troll [08:22] ackt1c spamming troll: Help!

See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [08:23] darkk^, this isn't exaclty a bug. Do you know what you're doing when using LVM fs? [08:23] hokay [08:23] thanks u bot u [08:23] maginot, HPTwhite I figured out how to get this laptop to boot to CD. This new HP laptop has a bizarre BIOS [08:24] MarkProffitt, =) [08:24] maginot, yes. I set it up using usual text install, evreything was ok, then I installed all suggested updates - and voila, I have to rescue system from bare bash shell :-) [08:24] Tru7h, this is my grub file, I have menu, compare them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401021/ [08:24] Tru7h, remember to run "sudo update-grub" after changing the file [08:24] darkk^, Hmm did you updated the kernel too? [08:25] maginot, yes, according to /var/log/apt/term.log my kernel was upgraded from 2.6.31.14.27 to 2.6.31.20.33 [08:25] the_gamer: no clue then.. [08:26] darolu: Differences: My GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET is false, as you mentioned I should set; additionally, I am missing the "vga=792", there is nothing between my double quotes. [08:27] Tru7h, my bad; the documentation I read said "false - A counter will display" [08:27] Hey, I have a Aspire 4520, and according to lspci it has a Broadcom wireless chip... How do I get it to work? [08:27] darolu: Should I make it true? [08:27] darkk^, if your lvm partition was working fine, and it says okay there, them the problem is with your NTFS drive [08:27] You guys can do what ever you want but if you want to get converts to Linux I suggest treating people who are frustrated with respect and assume they might actually know what they are talking about. [08:28] Tru7h, the vga=792 is not important right now, it is used to set the Virtual Terminal resolution; make it true, yes (that's what I have and I do have a menu) [08:28] !bcm > Jim_Bean [08:28] Jim_Bean, please see my private message [08:28] darolu: Setting true, running update-grub and rebooting. [08:28] hi all is it possible that i can set autohinting for bold fonts to 'slight' and regular fonts to 'full'? [08:28] MarkProffitt: if you'd read here for a while, you'd know that most of the people actually doesn't know what they are talking about (even if they're sure to know) [08:29] llutz, hahaha [08:29] darolu: I still have no menu. [08:29] maginot, do you have any idea why initramfs may be interested in NTFS partition? :-) [08:30] darolu: What if I tried update-grub2? [08:31] Tru7h, that's very weird, the settings on the pastebin are the way I have it, and I do have a menu; sure try update-grub2; anyways, pressing ESC (on the grub loading string) displays the menu [08:31] darolu: I have the same settings as you. I've updated grub2 and am restarting, I'll try your ESC trick. [08:32] Tru7h, just to check; you do modify the /etc/default/grub file with sudo and you save the changes right? [08:32] darolu: Yes, of course. [08:34] darolu: ESC didn't work to me, I saw something about "General error mounting filesystem" before it went to the ubuntu login [08:34] darkk^, did you read my last 3 comments? My irc just droped here [08:34] I want to report a bug but I'm not sure against which package [08:35] exco, so how do you know is a bug? [08:35] maginot: ^^ *rofl* [08:35] exco: Check the local logs? [08:35] maginot, the last comment I see was about NTFS - I'm sure, it's not the reason. As you can see, I find out that udevadm script was broken (see comment #20), now I've just understood WHY it is broken and have some idea how to repair it :-) [08:36] darolu: Just to clarify, I've been editing /etc/default/grub under sudo. [08:36] I think it's debian-installer - delete and use whole medium in partitioning screen doesn't show a swap partition will be generated but there is one generated [08:36] Tru7h, try holding down the SHIFT key while Grub boots, that should display the menu; the mounting error is odd, win7 still uses ntfs right? [08:37] also there's a translation error (to German) ... but I can't find the corresponding string in launchpad/translate [08:37] Tru7h, yes, /etc/default/grub sets the options like displaying the menu, adding a background image, etc. [08:37] darolu: Yes, the Win7 partition was formatted with NTFS. I'll reboot while holding down shift. [08:37] exco: What version? [08:37] daily of karmic [08:37] ,vig [08:37] , Vigo [08:38] darolu: Holding shift has successfully displayed the menu, but Windows 7 is not on it. [08:38] 操 [08:39] Tru7h, :( OK these are my final ideas; modify both /etc/grub.d/11_windows and /etc/grub.d/40_custom files with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401020/ [08:40] exco: You can de-select that, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/dselect.1.html [08:41] Tru7h: You may also want to check out this option to build the menu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Automatic%20Entries [08:41] hi! is there possibility to setup irc server that can communicate with ldap, I want to setup irc server that will allow connection to server only if they has acc in ldap db... [08:41] Vigo: so I should check with dselect on the usb stick what version of debian-installer it is using? [08:42] exco: You can do that if you wish, yes, here is the karmic page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/dselect.1.html [08:42] Tru7h: Looks like you may have already gone down that road.. never mind . good luck! === cece is now known as taizuhuangdi [08:44] * maginot damn connection :X [08:44] hello is rsync ove ssh the best way to backup from my laptop to a computer at home? [08:45] hi! is there possibility to setup irc server that can communicate with ldap, I want to setup irc server that will allow connection to server only if members have account in ldap db... [08:45] Tru7h, if this fails too all I can think of is installing "sudo apt-get install startupmanager" and hope the GUI fixes it (it's almost 3a.m. where I live and I can't think of anything else) [08:45] !best | jasonmchristos [08:45] jasonmchristos: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. 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. [08:45] darolu: It worked! I now have "Windows 7" and "Microsoft Windows 7" in my list, which should I choose? (by the way, I still have to hold shift to bring up the menu) [08:45] cards anyone [08:45] TomV_415: Thank you, either way. :) [08:45] jasonmchristos: rsync over ssh is good .. in addition you could try a package called unison, if you're looking for file sync [08:46] abhinav: i will look up unison [08:46] Tru7h, excellent! both options have the same configuration so any of them should work; I'd put my money on the Microsoft Windows 7 one as it is the one in 40_custom [08:46] jasonmchristos, rsync is far more sophisticated than the plane jane ssh we use, have a look at rsync man for more info [08:46] darolu: That's understandable, I'm in the same time zone as you and I have a class at 9:30 so I'll be calling it a night soon. Will your last suggestion make it so I don't have to hold shift? [08:46] bsdgroup, I think you're in the wrong channel... [08:47] why? [08:47] Hi all. I've just installed karmic and updated it, and I have problems connecting to it using xdmcp. I get the login screen, I can fill my user/password, but after authentication all I see is the mouse cursor while the screen is black. [08:47] darolu: I chose "Microsoft Windows 7" and got "BOOTMGR is missing / Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" [08:47] york105: i thought rsync was a seperate command and i would just use ssh for transport [08:47] jasonmchristos: unison is geared more towards syncing multiple versions (and diff, etc) than backup - for backup rsync is good. and there may be some backup tools that use it (gui based) [08:47] damn [08:47] jasonmchristos: That is kinda complicating things, one home box to another , back in time or many other back-up utilities are available, and there are many that are Network based for what you are asking. [08:47] these schemes themes and colors are fucking with me [08:47] Tru7h, my last suggestion does the exact same thing you did manually but you can give it a shot; it's really weird you don't have a menu after modifying the grub file with the settings I gave you [08:48] darolu: I agree, it is weird, I'm trying the "Windows 7" entry [08:48] bsdgroup, here is ubuntu support, your question is related to irc and Ldap [08:48] well i really like ssh so would it be as simple as connecting to my ssh server and issung an rsync command? [08:48] Help required urgently, i installed OOo3.2 from OpenOffice.org, and CAN'T FIND IT [08:48] which is the google chrome os channel??? or anyone who has built chrome os?? [08:48] is there channel that is suitable for my question? [08:48] darolu: "Windows 7" gives a different error, it reads "error: two argiments required / Press any key to continue..." [08:48] everyone got good seats to watch the game? [08:48] jasonmchristos, that is correct, all ssh does is gives you an encrypted tunnel through which comms can take place, rsync remote update protocol does the dirty work of comparing files on remote servers and speeds up transfers if remote file already exists, also read incremental backups [08:49] darolu: I'm booting ubuntu and trying your last suggestion [08:49] Tru7h, uhmmm I have no idea what BOOTMGR error is as it is Windows-related [08:49] bsdgroup, maybe #ldap, or #irc... I don't know. try /list [08:49] theadmin: what was wrong with using the repos? [08:49] thnx! [08:49] gottto: Them having 3.1? [08:49] ok i think i will look into rsync more thanks guys [08:49] darolu: I could try fixing boot with the Win7 CD, but I'm pretty sure that will murder GRUB [08:49] how do i see my status screen [08:49] theadmin, executing oowriter don't opens oofficce? [08:49] theadmin: is it in /usr/bin? [08:49] Tru7h, OK you can delete the 11_windows file from /etc/grub.d/ then; the Microsoft Windows 7 option works fine; the bootmgr missing file is Windows issue [08:49] !ot > ackt1c [08:49] ackt1c, please see my private message [08:50] gottto: No idea, that's what i'm wondering [08:50] darolu: Deleting the file now. [08:50] maginot: Hm, let's try [08:50] maginot: That opens Ubuntu's stupid 3.1 [08:50] theadmin: it won't show on a menu if you didn't use the repo [08:50] s [08:50] Tru7h, yeah, I think so too; I googled it and the first results I got said you have to use the CD/DVD, but as you said, it will most likely kill GRUB [08:50] how do i switch to private message? [08:50] or the damn status screen [08:51] gottto: I can make menu shortcuts myself, ok? I just need to know where the hell are the binaries [08:51] haha [08:51] Tru7h, that is right, grub 'encapsulates' windows kernel so even if you want to boot windows you pass through grub, installing windows will kill the encapsulation grub has over the boot process [08:51] theadmin: try in a terminal ls /usr/bin | grep ooo [08:52] gottto: Hm, i have a feeling it'll go to /opt [08:52] darolu: Deleted the specified file, now "Windows 7" has disappeared from the GRUB menu but I still have "Microsoft Windows 7"; choosing it still displays the "BOOTMGR is missing" error. [08:52] theadmin, did you updated oo using apt-get? [08:52] Hello people, I have a problem with snmpd, it wont start, anyone familiar with the snmpd? Could really use the help please [08:52] gottto: Tada. It's there. [08:52] theadmin: :) [08:52] whats new with ubuntu? [08:53] tv [08:53] york105: I've found that I can fix Windows 7 boot with the Win7 CD, and I can fix GRUB with the Ubuntu CD, but I can't get both working at the same time, and obviously carrying both CDs around with me is not ideal [08:53] gottto: Hm, wait, no. There are bunch of other files/folders/stuff but i can't find the bins :/ [08:54] Tru7h, the BOOTMGR is a Windows 7-related error; I don't really know a way to fix it (may be hard to believe but I haven't used Windows 7 nor Vista at all); I suppose you can simply copy/paste a BOOTMGR file, maybe it is in your CD/DVD [08:54] without needing to use the recovery option from the DVD (when you boot with it) [08:55] theadmin: try in terminal find -name / ooobase [08:55] Tru7h, I am not aware of the background of you issue here but the general practice is to install Windows first and then install Ubuntu and let Grub recognise all existing operating systems, can do so manually by using grub-update command. [08:55] darolu: That's ideal; also, I'm impressed, I definitely use Ubuntu more than Windows but I still use Windows for taking notes in class (it has a good formula editor in Office 2007) and for gaming [08:55] gottto: Uh, i think you got a wrong syntax. Do you mean "find / -name ooobase"? [08:55] theadmin: oops yep [08:56] theadmin: or search for soffice [08:56] york105: I agree, that should work, but I've tried reinstalling Ubuntu twice and both times it has failed to recognize Windows in both the installer (it says no operating systems were detected on my hard drive) and in the boot loader, even when I run grub-update [08:56] Why should you use gksudo over sudo? [08:56] !gksudo [08:56] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [08:57] ShazbotMcMurder, many here prefer to use gksudo for "graphical" apps [08:57] helllllooooooooooo [08:57] Hi [08:57] Tru7h, is Windows on the same disc as Ubuntu (although on a different logical partition)? [08:57] york105: Yes, this is a laptop and it has only one HDD. [08:57] Tru7h, oh yeah video games is probably the only thing I miss (sometimes). Did the startupmanager helped with the no grub-menu issue? [08:57] coz_, does it really make a difference? [08:58] or is it just that it looks a pretty? [08:58] darolu: I've been messing with options, sorry, what was the startupmanager command again? [08:58] Tru7h, and if I may enquire, what does your partition table look like? [08:58] ShazbotMcMurder, well there can on rare occasions be issues because sudo can run an application with root pirvileges but use the user's configuration [08:58] Found it. Thanks a LOT, gotto, had to make a crazy find syntax though: "find / -name soffice 2>/dev/null" [08:58] ShazbotMcMurder: it does [08:58] ShazbotMcMurder, i think that is the main issue [08:59] ShazbotMcMurder: it sets the graphical environment up properly - See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why [08:59] Tru7h, "sudo apt-get install startupmanager" the manager is found under System-Admin [08:59] gottto, okay thanks [08:59] Now, how do i remove ooO 3.1? [08:59] york105: I recall from the installation that I had one 100 MB partition for some Windows thing as well as a 200 GB partition for the actual Windows OS, plus a 100 GB partition for ubuntu which I let the installer set up. I don't remember the specifics and I'm not sure how to call them up. [08:59] theadmin, with apt-get remove [08:59] theadmin: sudo apt-get purge [08:59] ShazbotMcMurder, personally I have never had issues to date and its been 6 years [08:59] theadmin: aptitude purge '~nopenoffice' [09:00] llutz: "~nopenoffice"?!?! What on earth is that? [09:00] hehe [09:00] coz_, I've never had any noticeable problems, it's been a few years here also [09:00] theadmin: man aptitude (name contains) [09:00] ShazbotMcMurder, also some will tell you to use "aptitude" I only use apt [09:00] Tru7h, if you are already logged into Linux can you upload the output of sudo fdisk -l to a paste service like paste.ubuntu.com [09:00] I don't like using aptitude to remove packages, it have to much initiative :P [09:00] coz_, aptitude and apt are very different things as I understand though [09:01] coz_, I also only use apt though :) [09:01] ShazbotMcMurder, well aptitude is "older" I believe [09:01] darolu: "E: Couldn't find package startupmanager", doesn't seem to be in the repos [09:01] coz_: wrong [09:01] hi all .. I am using gnome and i would want one particular application to open maximised everytime i start the application... is there any way i could do it in gnome ? [09:01] Hi. I want clients to login in their gdm authenticated by an ldap server. My problem is that I get this error "Invalid credentials (49)" when I invoke this command --> ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W olcDatabase=hdb olcAccess [09:01] llutz: It wants to remove 3.2 this way, i need to keep that but remove ONLY 3.1 [09:01] coz_, aptitude is much newer [09:01] theadmin: then use a string only catching 3.1 [09:02] maginot, aptitude handles dependencies better than apt, also its able to verify why you should or should not install any packages ( detect conflicts ) [09:02] llutz: Example plz? I've no idea what package names are [09:02] Tru7h, yes it is in the repos, it is pretty basic (check your software sources) anyways you can download it from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/startupmanager [09:02] york105: Here's my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401033/ [09:02] theadmin: "dpkg -l *openoffice* [09:03] darolu: Probably it just doesn't show up since this is a fresh install (i.e. no updates); I haven't bothered updating since this is my second reformat [09:04] how do I add windows 7 to my menu.lst, I've been looking through a bunch of walkthroughs, but every one seems to say the same thing [09:04] york105, not exactly, aptitude use to remove other packages too, like those you "dont" use and so on, its easy to remove openoffice and when you see many other things where removed too. Apt-get is very more strict, it does the remove and nothing else, don't try to "update" the system, if you know what I mean. [09:04] which is already in my menu.lst for 'default non-linux distro' [09:04] Bleh. I'll just use synaptic. [09:04] hmm mysql doesn't start after setting default-character-set to utf8 :((( [09:04] also - how do I tell which hdd / partition it's on [09:04] It's actually on another whole hard drive [09:04] theadmin, which is a apt-get gui frontend =P [09:04] would 'mount' still work? [09:05] darolu: sudo apt-get update allowed me to detect the file, sorry for my laziness [09:05] maginot: Yep, and a SLOW one [09:05] maginot, aye, agree but at the end of the day its what you like best, whisky or brandy, pick you poison [09:05] maginot, I've resolved the issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/450620/comments/21 [09:05] darolu: I'm running the manager now, what should I change to make Win7 work? [09:05] darkk^, was about your ntfs kernel drive? [09:05] darolu: Or is this just to make it so I don't have to hold shift? [09:05] maginot: apt-frontend (like apt-get) not apt-get frontend [09:06] maginot, not at all :-) [09:06] llutz, what? [09:06] Tru7h, is OK, btw I saw your pastebin, first partition doesn't look right, and since you are logged in as root you don't need to use sudo :p [09:06] maginot: synaptic is a gui apt-frontend (like apt-get) not apt-get frontend [09:06] llutz, ahh right. [09:06] darolu: True, I have a tendency to be redundant, heh. Would that affect my output? [09:07] maginot, it was half-upgraded udev [09:07] darolu: Also, what doesn't look right about it? [09:07] Tru7h, the startupmanager modifies the file you've been editing manually, you don't have much control with it (the gui) but it may fix your grub menu. And no, it doesn't affect your output. [09:07] YOU DICK [09:07] yup [09:07] Tru7h: w7 always uses 2 partitions, one 100MB + the "real" system-partition === espenar is now known as celeborn [09:08] darkk^, good solution === Err404NotFound is now known as Error404NotFound [09:08] Tru7h, the "10 Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." part [09:08] anyone collect sports cards [09:08] anymore [09:08] Hi all, anyone know a good FTP server with GUI administration? [09:08] ubuntu_, you kiss your mother with that mouth ? ;/ [09:08] darolu: What does that mean and how can I fix it? [09:08] look at my hostid for gods sakes [09:08] darolu: Also, startupmanager doesn't seem to have fixed my automatic menu skipping issue [09:08] it,s me jimi [09:08] this is ridiculous [09:08] ubuntu_: troll off here [09:09] llutz, yes I just did more research on apt vs aptiude [09:09] !offtopic | ubuntu_ [09:09] ubuntu_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:09] Tru7h, just read the output, the "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary" line means that part of your disk is unusable, could be because when you were partitioning your drive you chose to go by megabytes and not cylinders anyway so does Windows on sda1 boot okay then? [09:09] okay, well I found that out - there's a separator in my menu.lst - do I have to put something there, because I would really just like a space there, and it to be separated from the linux operating systems anywho [09:10] darkk^, I just don't get it why did you had to created those nods by hand [09:10] Tru7h, it means the partition doesn't end wher it should ends (making it unusuable), fixing it may affect your sda2 partition, so don't touch it unless you are willing to run the risk of having to re-install windows (on sda2) [09:11] maginot, broken udev could not create them ;) [09:11] york105: Yes, I went by megabytes, not sure how to go by cylinders (I'm rather incompetent when it comes to partitioning). And no, Win7 doesn't boot, it give an error saying "BOOTMGR is missing / Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" [09:11] Hi all, anyone know a good FTP server with GUI administration? [09:11] maginot, a broken udev is very bad. Will you keep that way? [09:11] Jimi_Neutral, gftp [09:12] Jimi_Neutral, nvm I thought you said client [09:12] darolu, no worries :) [09:12] darolu: What's the chance I would be forced to reinstall Windows? If all else fails, I'll just go back to using Wubi, but I've had some bad experiences with it and I'd really prefer to have Ubuntu as its own partition [09:12] There, i'm done. For anyone wondering, app was in /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice [09:13] does gproftp not exist anymore? [09:13] maginot, no, udev was broken as dpkg was interrupted for some reason (don't know why, I have some assumption though) I had to run dpkg --configure -a [09:14] Tru7h, I'm not sure what the chance would be as I'm not familiar with Win7 at all, I don't know if the BOOTMGR error needs re-installing of win7; I suppose re-installing is not needed and that creating/pasting a BOOTMGR file should fix it [09:14] hi, is there a way to install a more up to date version of php5-fcgi on ubuntu jaunty server? I'd really like to not have to compile it myself [09:14] theadmin: here ooobase is a shell script linking to soffice [09:14] ... [09:14] darolu: Google has told me that running "Windows Startup Repair" should fix the BOOTMGR issue, I'm relatively sure it won't screw up GRUB as long as I don't use bootrec.exe [09:14] gottto: Yeah, weird. [09:14] Tru7h: Recovering GRUB is easy. [09:14] what's in a name [09:15] Tru7h, you can try it, I can't really tell since I have never used Win7; go for it, if it kills grub2 you can always re-install it using a LiveCD [09:15] theadmin: I have no issues with recovering GRUB, the problem is, if I recover GRUB it still fails to recognize my Windows installation [09:15] Tru7h, so to start with let's resolve the Windows boot issue. I am assuming you have recently upgraded to win7 from XP/Vista, you'll need the win7 setup disc. Insert the disc, reboot the computer, go to command prompt and issue the command bootrec /fixboot . Let it complete what it wants to do and reboot. Once done boot using an Ubuntu Live CD and go to command prompt and issue the update-grub command so it now recognises Windows. Yo [09:15] u may want to try booting to windows once the fixboot command has finished its business. [09:15] Tru7h: Have you tried "sudo update-grub"? [09:16] theadmin: Yes, a few times, as well as sudo update-grub2. [09:16] york105: That sounds feasible, I'll try it out and let you know what happens. [09:16] theadmin, york105, Tru7h's initial problem was GRUB not adding Win7 to the boot list, he had to remove os-prober and edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom to add the entry; and now Windows 7 won't boot [09:16] Tru7h, sure [09:17] Hm. GRUB 1 did not detect my XP too :/ [09:18] fuck this shit [09:18] can someone help me to find, install and configure grpoftpd please [09:18] kill [09:19] darolu thanks for that ; Tru7h in the light of what darolu has just pointed out i am guessing its the parameters you're passing to the windows boot command in grub that might have something to do with windows failing to boot [09:19] york105: As a prerequisite to your suggestion, I'm trying the Startup Repair option. It probably won't work, but I figure it's worth a shot. [09:19] york105: Scratch that, it failed. [09:19] Tru7h, since you're up for it, yeah sure, why not :) [09:19] york105, he is using the 40_custom only: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401020/ [09:19] ubottu: ops | ubuntu_ swears and floods [09:19] ubuntu_ swears and floods: Help!

(Live CDs take forever on my computer) [09:21] hi [09:22] Jimi_Neutral: Looking on the forums, I have never used that, but will help as best as I can. [09:22] Tru7h, its like trying to fix the deck of a ship you're sailing on, instead you'd want to work from a dock, if the deck cracks you don't fall ;) [09:22] Tru7h, yep, I think so. My guess is you use the live cd to run update grub when you can't boot into your partition. But I would follow a how to if I were you [09:23] york105: That's a good analogy, I'll use the Live CD just for that [09:23] Tru7h, york105 I'm going to bed, good luck with that Win7 [09:23] nighty night darolu [09:23] Vigo, ok ty [09:23] darolu: Thanks so much for your help, have a good night [09:24] Dang, missed him. [09:24] * maginot night (?) almost 6:30am here =X [09:25] how do I figure out what hd I should put for a windows partition? [09:25] Tru7h, you might want to make sure you can access your Windows partition from Ubuntu. I know you'll reboot and try my first suggestion but in light of what you've previously tried, I'd make sure you have the following installed [09:25] it's /dev/sda3 [09:25] but (hd0,3) doesn't work [09:25] > sudo apt-get install ntfs-config >sudo ntfs-config [09:25] because (hd0,0) is my / [09:25] shazbotmcnasty: (hd0,2) = /dev/sda3 [09:25] Jimi_Neutral: Looks like it does exist:>http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man8/proftpd.8.html [09:25] I must have done something but my external hdds won't mount automatically. usually when I connected the usb the folders popuped up automatically but this morning nothing happens.. could someone please help me? [09:25] OH 2 [09:25] so [09:25] k [09:25] thanks llutz [09:25] shazbotmcnasty: grub starts counting at 0 [09:25] I installed Ailurus yesterday so it might have done something? [09:25] yeah forgot [09:25] like all computers [09:25] :/ [09:25] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:26] lol [09:26] Jimi_Neutral: Which version are you looking for? [09:26] meaner bot [09:26] Take0n: do they show in fdisk -l in terminal? [09:26] Vigo, yeah proftp does but i need the gui which is gproftpd but every tutorial i goto tells me to do 'sudo apt-get install gproftpd' but it doesnt find anything [09:26] no nothing shows with that command [09:26] !enter | shazbotmcnasty [09:26] shazbotmcnasty: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:26] york105: I'll assume you want me to install those from my partition? In any case, my Live CD is booting so I'll update-grub and see what happens, but otherwise I'll boot my partition and install those packages [09:26] Vigo, any version, i really dont care at this point lol [09:27] I know, I know gottto - you guys are no fun [09:27] Tru7h, sure, you're headed the right way [09:27] Jimi_Neutral: heh, Did you look at psychcats? [09:28] Vigo, ? [09:28] well, wow, 3.2 is a ton faster then 3.1 [09:29] Jimi_Neutral: > http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index , good resource [09:29] gottto, any ideas? [09:29] york105: I get something wierd from within the live cd when I run update-grub: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /." [09:29] Jut [09:30] Tru7h: Uh. [09:30] Jimi_Neutral: Did or have you enabled Extra Repositories? [09:30] Take0n: are the drives working on another comp? [09:30] Vigo, still very new to linux [09:30] Tru7h: You need to chroot into the existing install to run update-grub on a CD. [09:30] gottto, yes and they worked on mine as well yesterday night [09:30] Take0n: or try lsusb [09:30] theadmin: Sorry, how do I do that? [09:30] Just looked into /etc/X11, and i don't see any conf file. Where is that? [09:31] Jimi_Neutral: Welcome to stable and free. I learn every day, is fun. [09:31] Hi to all [09:31] Take0n, you could look here http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [09:31] Tru7h: Mount the device where you have Linux on, then do "sudo chroot /path/to/mount/point" [09:31] jae: there is none by default, if you need on, create one [09:31] theadmin, rather you http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [09:31] ok, following problem: I want php5-fcgi from lucid, but stay at jaunty for the rest of the system, so I would append the sources for lucid in the sources.list and create the file /etc/apt/preferences with the content "jaunty" then do apt-get install -t lucid php5-fcgi, is this correct? [09:31] Vigo, heh ty, when you say extra ones do you mean canonical and backport? [09:31] Take0n, sorry wrong nick [09:31] coz_, are u sure that will help me? [09:31] Tru7h, its probably because you do not have any device nodes in your chroot. You may want to bind them manually :D and it gets tricky from here [09:31] ah okay :P [09:31] And how's the X server know what to do? Or rather, more concretely, where do I adjust the kbd config? [09:31] Jimi_Neutral: Have you spent a day or so at the Ubuntu Forums? [09:32] gottto, nothing there as well :\ [09:32] Jimi_Neutral: That is exactly what that means. [09:32] I am not paying attention this morning so I am off for the night [09:32] coz_: what? [09:32] yes, but to be honest im not that interested in it, im just doing what my ;ehy this is a good idea lets do this' boss tells me to [09:32] gottto, my USB flash stick won't work either :\ it's like it doesn't mount anything.. [09:32] theadmin, my fault...too tired not paying attention close enough sorry about that [09:32] Vigo, yes i have enabled them but still no gproftpd [09:32] Take0n: then something is wrong with them being mounted - what was the app you installed for? [09:32] * jae thought the X server needed a config file... but that seems to be the "brave new world" of X these days: "I know my configuration, but I'm telling *you*" [09:33] It was something like ubuntu tweak === zz_Darky is now known as Darky [09:33] theadmin: I believe I've done so, but I get the error mentioned above plus this: "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu" [09:33] I read about it in a blog and wanted to take a look give it a try [09:33] someone must know of a good easy to use GUI ftp server for ubuntu [09:33] york105: Want me to just try updating grub from my partition and installing the packages you mentioned there? [09:33] jae: all that should be handled by hal now, and by udev in future (afaik) [09:33] Jimi_Neutral: Can you use a different package than that and or is one listed in Synaptic? [09:34] Jimi_Neutral, you mean GUI FTP Client? [09:34] llutz: "all that"... so, it does mindreading to know that I do or do not want deadkeys? [09:34] jae: but you still can create your own xorg.conf with the options you need [09:34] * jae hates all this magic crap, yes, crap [09:34] Tru7h, yes, if you boot into Ubuntu and install the package and run it from there [09:34] I have a question: I have set up a File Server at work using Ubuntu server. My problem is that I have a document that is shared on the metwork and at least 2 people write in it. The problem is that every time when someone writes in that file the owner of the file changes to nobody and after that no one can open the file anymore, just the last person who has added data to the file. How can I make the file to retain the owner and be able to have multiple user in [09:34] york105, no i mean a GUI front end to control an FTP server [09:34] jae: true but reality :( [09:35] llutz: got any URLs where this is documented? Or at least announced? [09:35] Vigo, thats what im trying to find out if there is another one in case i cant get this one working [09:35] Take0n: it might have just messed the mounting part - type in terminal dmesg | tail and unplug the drive and replug it and redo that command [09:35] jae: ask ms google pls [09:35] exit [09:36] llutz: I'm asking, I really am, but have yet to guess the correct search terms [09:36] Where the heck is menu configuration stored? [09:36] Jimi_Neutral: I just did a search in Synaptic and found a load of FTP GUI stuff. [09:36] I am currently using a pidgin screenlet. but I still have the pidgin window that keeps coming up too. I was wondering if there was a way to open pidgin with no window so it just uses the screenlet. [09:36] Ubuntu 10.04 has the titlebar buttons on the left - what were the designers thinking? And were they thinking at all!@#$ [09:36] Vigo, well as i said i am new to this and not sure what is what so i was hoping to be pointed to a decent package that has a gui front end and a very in depth tutorial [09:36] Sagam, Linux uses inodes to ref\deref. files, google concurrent file access linux and you'll find what you're looking for ;) [09:37] Kambanka: Possible to revert them... Hey, what the? [09:37] Sagam, somwhere in /etc/samba/smb.conf you will find something about default permissions [09:37] jae: look for "fdi preferences xorg hal", it should bring some results. sorry i don't have www here atm [09:37] ...I like them on the left side.... :/ [09:37] theadmin right click the App's bar and a drop down as it in ther as edit menu's [09:37] llutz: *thanks*! [09:37] Josh90: I want to back em up. Any way to? [09:38] kambanka: they were thinking OS X style [09:38] Jimi_Neutral: let me browse through these ohh, 8k results in Synaptic... [09:38] theadmin not to sure about that one [09:38] Oct 2008... damn, that's old, I'm *really* behind the times :P [09:38] Vigo, lol ok ty [09:38] york105: I ran update-grub and installed/ran the package you mentioned, but when I reboot (holding shift) and select my Win7 installation I still get "BOOTMGR is missing" [09:38] Jimi_Neutral cli alot of the time is faster and/or less confusing..... maybe try gadmin-proftpd [09:39] gottto, still nothing.. I will try to relogin [09:39] brb [09:39] Tru7h, and the previous fixboot thing didn't finish (in windows boot disc), did it? [09:39] k [09:39] Tru7h: bootmgr is a file on C:\ (or whatever is system drive in Windows). Is it there? [09:39] iflema, the reason i am trying to find a gui one is because I said I would try and do what the boss wanted me to do using command line and he is like no find a gui front end [09:39] Jimi_Neutral: Do you have Synaptic Package Manager opened? [09:39] Tru7h: (mount your ntfs device. It should be called simply "bootmgr") [09:39] hey, I got windows to go into grub [09:39] And: XML again. "XML is the panacea, it is the silver bullet, and we shit on Fred Brooks"... and I actually like XML, mind you [09:39] Vigo, i do now [09:40] but instead of (hd0,2) for /dev/sda3, it turned out to be (hd1,1) [09:40] I don't know why [09:40] * jae is getting into a pissy mood, so I better so outta here for a bit :/ [09:40] hui of what? [09:40] Jimi_Neutral: Look at pyftp [09:40] york105: It said the command completed successfully, I can try again if necessary [09:40] Jimi_Neutral gadmin-proftpd what ya looking for... [09:40] gui [09:40] shazbotmcnasty: win7? then tell it Tru7h ;) [09:40] theadmin: I'll let you know once I'm in an OS [09:40] I am currently using a pidgin screenlet. but I still have the pidgin window that keeps coming up too. I was wondering if there was a way to open pidgin with no window so it just uses the screenlet. [09:40] iflema, he wants to grant one person access to the FTP but to one folder only and cause there is a nice little tool that does that in windows he thinks it is that easy in linux....i have proftpd installed i just needa graphical front end [09:41] Vigo, does that have a GUI [09:41] Jimi_Neutral: Or what iflema said, probably is better, as I said, I never have used that package. [09:41] llutz, excuse? [09:41] iflema, does that have a GUI? [09:41] GUI, GUI.... why the heck nobody likes the CLI? It's usually a lot faster :/ [09:41] Josh90, how did you install the screenlet? [09:41] Honestly, if Wine had better support for my games and MS Office 2007, I would just kill Windows and do a fresh install of Ubuntu [09:42] Tru7h: use openoffice [09:42] Josh90, i will install it and see if i cant figure it out [09:42] shazbotmcnasty: did you add win7 to your grub? then tell it Tru7h hes trying to do that since hours ;) [09:42] theadmin, maybe so but what he wants he gets and i am no linux expert [09:42] Tru7h: vbox :d [09:42] theadmin: that's the new world order: we do everything in GUIs. And we *require* it, and you won't even (easily) find out where we keep our info [09:42] Jimi_Neutral: True indeed... Hm, my favorite FTP client is fireftp (and THAT has a GUI, infact it's a FF addon) [09:42] Jimi_Neutral, what do you need a gui for? [09:42] * jae hates gconf with a passion [09:42] iceroot: I use it for most things, but I like the formula editor in Office 2007 (I use it frequently for my class notes) and I can't find a decent equivalent for Linux [09:42] theadmin: like you're using synaptic over apt-get/aptitude? ;) [09:42] --> bed tiem [09:42] Tru7h: LaTeX [09:43] llutz: I hate using Synaptic actually. [09:43] Tru7h: that a REAL formulas [09:43] thank you gottto it works :) [09:43] :) [09:43] iceroot: The thing is, I combine that formula editor with my custom keyboard layout, and I can't find a good layout editor for ubuntu [09:43] Jimi_Neutral: Yes, gFTP _GTK also looks like a decent one. [09:44] AbortD: I installed the program called Screenlets Manager if i think it was one of the default screenlets down the page [09:44] iceroot: Don't get me wrong, I use Ubuntu for almost everything, but for this as well as gaming I need Windows 7 [09:44] ok to everyone that keeps aksing me the same question.....my boss wants me to give access to one user on the network to this ubuntu box....because he has a little tool in wondows that does that nicley he thinks it is that easy in windows, so therefor it is down to me to find an FTP server in ubuntu that is configurable with a GUI....and for the last time I NEED A GUI FTP ADMINISTRATOR TOOL NOT AN FTP CLIENT....sorry but i go [09:44] t him on my back and im getting stressed as hell here [09:44] llutz: apt-get FTW! It even has super cow powers! [09:44] !shortcuts | Tru7h [09:44] Tru7h: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [09:44] but he can only have access to one fodler on that pc [09:45] because he can do that with his windows tool whatever its called [09:45] Jimi_Neutral: Just found the DOCs for ProFTPd. add that d to it. [09:45] theadmin: may i remind you to your openoffice-removal ;) [09:45] llutz: Well, couldn't... although i totally forgot about apt-cache [09:45] iceroot: Do keyboard shortcuts allow you to insert custom characters? I use MSKLC on Windows [09:45] Vigo, i know to add the d [09:45] And that still doesn't fix the lack of Wine support for my games :P I'm a fan of LAN [09:45] Vigo, but proftpd is not graphical......Gproftpd is but i cant find it.....that is the problem [09:46] Jimi_Neutral gadmin-proftpd faily straight foward.... alot of settings you will not use, but i think youll find the few thaqt need setting [09:46] Tru7h: hm, i dont know, dont using shortcuts on keyboarsd like that [09:46] Ahh, the user named MarkProffitt, is a great person! I checked it out on web! [09:46] * jae thinks that someone should, and sooner or later someone probably will (if it hasn't happened already) do a GNU/Linux dist that has all that autoconfig (avahi, *hurl*) crap ripped out [09:46] iflema, and that is grpahical yea? [09:46] In Ubuntu 10.04 Beta Netbook Edition, I can't unlock the gnome panel, the options are greyed out. [09:46] Mark?... eek. Whenever i hear that i think of mr. Shuttleworth [09:46] hello from russia [09:46] Jimi_Neutral: In Synaptic there are like 10 packages of that, pick the one that you and the others are use to, and fetch it. [09:46] Jimi_Neutral yes sir [09:46] iflema, ty bud [09:46] Or at least reduce its influence a lot [09:47] My layout is extremely custom, and though I've looked for a decent layout creator on Ubuntu I haven't found one [09:47] Vigo, ty for your help bro [09:47] I'm using gnome terminal to ssh to a server where im running irssi, and when I try to press alt-t for the 14th window, gnome-terminal doesn't send this to irssi, but instead opens its own menu. Any fix? [09:47] Josh90, what was your exact problem again [09:47] i have it working for me [09:47] haavaros: disable the gnome-terminal menu [09:47] my Internet doesn't work. weird thing is, connection works fine for everything except browsing the Internet. when i restart the router, it works again. is this hardware issue? [09:47] iceroot: And by "extremely custom" I mean it's a modified Svorak layout which includes more Greek letters than the normal one (for my physics labs) [09:47] haavaros: change the shortcuts in the gnome-terminal menue or use /win 14 [09:47] Jimi_Neutral: Np, I am going to fetch that now and play with it, so thank you! [09:47] In Ubuntu 10.04 Beta Netbook Edition, I can't unlock the gnome panel, the options are greyed out. What can I do to edit the gnome panel?? [09:48] Vigo, lol nice nice [09:48] Tru7h: have a look at LaTeX :) [09:48] Serious question now: is it correct that to set nodeadkeys one has to edit some udev rules/files?

Embarrasing that I didn't see that myself :P [09:48] york105: Still got that BOOTMGR error, I'm about ready to give up and pack 'er in though, I have class in a few hours and I need some rest [09:49] basically so i know vsftpd is removed and proftpd is working [09:49] anyone know how to enable restricted drivers via terminal on ubuntu server? [09:49] Josh90, are you running kde or gnome? [09:49] AbortD: at the monent it open's if both places but i would like it just to open in the screen let [09:49] user__: isntall them, use them in xorg.conf [09:49] j [09:49] AbortD: gnome [09:49] iceroot: I use LaTeX, in fact it's supported in MS Word 2007 and I make frequent use of it in there and elsewhere, but it's just not sufficient for what I'm doing === user__ is now known as headworm [09:49] * jae leaves the room to scream a little... (dampened by door)AAAAARRRRRRGHH [09:50] Jimi_Neutral one way is all at once remove/install new in synaptic package manager [09:50] both have to be open the screenlet runs off of the info it gives but how i have my pidgin setup its in my letter icon top right [09:50] so i dont see it [09:50] Jimi_Neutral: That is a simple thing, you can use the GUI thing, Software Center or go bully and use the /force, Terminal, [09:50] you will be stuck with some kind of icon [09:50] iceroot: If I have to use LaTeX code to format everything I'll fall behind my prof in class === lukjad007 is now known as lukjad86 [09:50] Tru7h: ah ok [09:50] AbortD: That sounds alright [09:51] iceroot: Trust me, though, as soon as I find a decent custom keyboard layout creator for Linux I'll be abandoning all this Windows nonsense and fresh installing Ubuntu [09:51] so are you trying to keep it out of the bottom panel or top? [09:51] Tru7h, try workin on it later, any how simply put the bootmgr basically refers the 'bit' that the system trasnfers command to once level 1 boot loader is done [09:52] AbortD: I was hoping both. But i might not be able to === ctmnz is now known as stmncv === stmncv is now known as stnv [09:52] hmm ok i obviously wasnt using vftp cause i can still access the box from this laptop lol [09:52] york105: That makes sense, thanks so much for your help even if we didn't get everything working, I really appreciated it [09:52] my god i am n ow so confused [09:52] For now I'll just expand my Windows partition and go back to using Wubi [09:52] Josh90, you can stop it in the bottom but not top you could hide it in the envelope though [09:53] Tru7h, no worries ;) i'll be hanging around here so will resume debugging if you come back [09:53] rocket16: Yeah, Shuttleworth is known online as "sabdfl" [09:53] AbortD: i not to sure how to do that one. [09:53] I'm looking for a way to make column width in compact view (gnome) dynamic ... is this possible? Or at least increasing the fixed width [09:53] theadmin: Great! [09:53] Tru7h, out of sheet curiosity why use WUBI? [09:53] york105: Sounds good, though it won't be until later today, I need at least a couple hours of sleep :P [09:53] york105: Thanks again, take care and have a good night [09:54] i would have to see a screen of your upper right screen to help you honestly [09:54] york105: I'll use Wubi because it works. [09:54] Jimi_Neutral: That is the fun part. [09:54] york105: I know it's known for compatability issues but in my case, it's what I had running before and I only started having issues when I tried installing Ubuntu to a real partition [09:54] Tru7h, why not try a clean install, I mean installing Ubuntu is not rocket science, its kinda straight forward [09:55] Vigo, it would be fun if it was a hobby and i didnt have my boss breathing down my neck [09:55] york105: I have done so. I clean installed Ubuntu and then put Windows on after, but Ubuntu has failed in every case to recognize Windows. [09:55] Vigo, i dont remeber installing any other ftp servers [09:55] Vigo, obviously i cant set this proftp up until i have removed the other one right [09:55] AbortD: ar i see. [09:55] Tru7h, :D sure Ubuntu will fail, as I said the general practice is to install Windows first and then put Ubuntu on your machine later [09:56] He Everyone, am having issues with my mic while using skype on ubuntu 9.04. Plz help guide me on how to fix it. [09:56] york105: I tried that as well, I had deleted Wubi (leaving only Windows on my machine) and then used a Karmic CD to install Ubuntu, and I ran into the same issue of GRUB not seeing Win7 [09:57] s7: are you interested in help setting up skype alternatives? [09:57] Jimi_Neutral: After you crunch the numbers and look at the savings, actually no, forget the other OS that you worked with, we have stepped out of the Windows now, you can leave it or remove, really does not matter. [09:57] Tru7h, whenever you're ready we'll resume this one [09:57] york105: As of yet the only thing I've ever gotten to work properly on this machine is Wubi, so I'm going back to it for now [09:57] By the way, if GRUB overwrites the windows bootloader, HOW windows manages to boot? :/ [09:57] hi , i've problem with virtaulbox look > "Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root." [09:57] Vigo, i would porefe to remove [09:57] theadmin, grub loads it [09:57] theadmin: Grub add's an entry for windows in its own boot loader [09:58] theadmin, Grub never over writes its encapsulates itself over windows boot [09:58] york105: That sounds excellent, I feel bad for bailing but I'm honestly falling out of my chair, will you be around tonight? [09:58] As far as i understand, actually, Windows installs it's bootloader (ntldr) onto the system drive and "links" it to MBR... [09:58] Jimi_Neutral: I understand, took me a while to get used to that also. [09:58] Tru7h, I am here all day its breakfast time here in london, will be here all after noon [09:59] stall the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root." problem with virutal box please help please [09:59] york105: I'll be back once I'm awake in that case, but for now I'm headed off. Thanks again; take care! [09:59] Tru7h, catch ya later mate [09:59] anyone here know if virt-manager 0.8.3 has been backported ? [09:59] yusuf: Uhm, dude, just do what it says to do. Type this in the terminal: "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-dkms && sudo modprobe vboxdrv" [09:59] I've failed to work out how to change column width in compact view in gnome (ubuntu 9.10).

[10:18] madjoe: just use a symlink [10:18] Hello all sorry im back [10:18] jrib: any special flags I should use? [10:18] madjoe: there are symbolic links, but it's not like windows where it's just a file, it's an actual link, so you're pwd would reflect either location [10:18] madjoe: Just kinda like "ln -s originalfile linkname" [10:18] does anybody have any ideas please? [10:18] madjoe: no, ln -s TARGET NAME. Or just rigth click -> create symlink (or whatever it says) [10:19] kugf [10:19] jrib: "make link" [10:19] theadmin: thank you [10:19] !helpme | jakewc2 [10:19] jakewc2: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[10:20] hi, can u guide me how to fix the fault on my mic when using skype in ubuntu 9.04 [10:21] jrib: Oh. I got it. He want's the link to be something like... say, link is /home/link and origininal directory is /root/somedir/. So when he cd's into /home/link/stuff he wants it to actually be /root/somedir/stuff in $PWD [10:21] theadmin: exactly [10:22] hi all. I want to change X color depth but I can't find xorg.conf in 9.10 anymore. [10:22] theadmin: is it something like hardlink, not soft lnk? [10:22] Can I generate it somehow/ [10:22] ? [10:22] madjoe: try it? [10:22] s7: Do you have all the drivers installed? [10:22] yes, i have all drivers installed [10:23] madjoe: No such think as "soft link", there are hard and symbolic ones. I think you need a hard one, so, omit "-s" in ln. [10:23] madjoe: Just "ln target linkname" [10:23] * g0bl1n finds Lynx absolutely awesome ! And much faster then 9.10 [10:23] theadmin: yes, symbolic...

So you could say share files [12:56] WhiteDawn> It's a custom PC [12:56] jasonmchristos: you can access the boot parition from all releases and its not dependant on a ubuntu partition so you can delete them without worry for boot [12:56] pooki: allright, just open it up, usualy the name is silkscreened on [12:57] So after I select Node form install the screen just dissappears [12:57] And stays blue [12:57] and I can type in the gray bar [12:57] I installed 3 times with this cd yesterday [12:57] tarelerulz: there are two documents for each model of hp compuer namely "Safety and confort guide" and "Maintenance and service guide" you can take their address for call center or search google [12:57] i see where that is [12:58] elb0w: did you leave the cd near a window?

[12:58] jasonmchristos: why would you install them separately? [12:58] jasonmchristos: yes, if boot partion is excluded from both systems then you can delete etheir or without having to worry bout grub or having to reconfigure it [12:58] they can both co-exist within the same OS. [12:58] You guys rock. I no idea what it was called. I understand networking some ,but sometimes you need the right word to use google [12:59] WhiteDawn I dont want to do that. Is there any alternative [12:59] tarelerulz: see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [12:59] pooki: if you built your own computer you should be comferatable removing hte side pannel :P [12:59] tarelerulz: yes we can do that. it is called as ado-hoc network [12:59] tarelerulz: ad-hoc* [12:59] WhiteDawn: that answer confused me , so you are saying that there is no need for a /boot part? [13:00] Howdy [13:00] jasonmchristos: its good to have one, it would be exclusive. What you do to the operating systems (whether that is deleting them or moving them) you will still have functioning boot [13:00] * Jaunty is away: Estou ocupado [13:00] tarelerulz: you got my messages?

If you delete ubuntu/kubuntu it wont affect the /boot/ partition so grub will still function normaly [13:04] A presto! [13:04] WhiteDawn: but the only other option is that Grub is on the MBR and eleting other os wont affect this anyway right? [13:04] jasonmchristos, the package ubuntustudio-desktop will install it [13:04] jasonmchristos: grub is on the mbr, but what configures grub is located in the /boot/ folder, without it, it wont work properly [13:04] bazhang: but studio needs seperate kernal and special tweaks to the audio software [13:04] Howdy [13:04] any tightvnc users here by any chance? [13:05] hi, is there tool in ubuntu like system-config-network in Centos?

[13:11] Cant see that happening but ill reburn and see [13:12] WhiteDawn: well I've given up on Ubuntu anyway..thnx for ur patience [13:12] !help | sethdemuerte [13:12] pooki: does wireless work in your windows partion? [13:12] sethdemuerte: 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. :-) === pragma_ is now known as umopepisdn` [13:12] WhiteDawn: yes...but I had to install the drivers that came with the mobo [13:13] my friend's hp netbook was installed with unbuntu 9.1 netbook remix, but it cant connect to the wifi in our school. [13:13] pooki: the driver disk could have hte motherboards name on it [13:13] my friend's hp netbook was installed with unbuntu 9.1 netbook remix, but it cant connect to the wifi in our school.is there something i can download now and install it in my friend's netbook? [13:14] Hi guys. I got a question... :) I want to mount my HDD. I'm currently on a Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Live-CD. Can somebody show me how? [13:14] #ubuntu-br [13:15] Konfensa: system/administration/diskutility will let you mount that easily [13:15] WhiteDawn: what is the motherboard's name going to help with? [13:15] pooki: finding drivers, or if anyone else allready had your problem and found a fix [13:17] Anyone here with experience in booting ubuntu from an USB on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet? [13:17] WhiteDawn I think there's nothing like that on Feisty Fawn :( At least I can't find anything. My friend said that you need to do that over the Terminal, but I have no clue how to :( [13:17] WhiteDawn: That's fine, this is too much trouble FWIW. Thanks a lot for your help and have a good day. [13:17] since i switched to ubuntu for one of my servers, every time i open screen, my putty window resizes itself. any ideas what's causing that? [13:18] !mount [13:18] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [13:18] hi poeple... i just resized my root partition.. but for some reason ubuntu does still only recognize the "old " size of the partition.. how can I force ubuntu to run a disk check at next start up? [13:18] hey there, how do i echo the output of a command into a text file? [13:19] abhi_nav thanks! I'll take a look [13:19] howlymowly: fsck [13:19] Knofensa: :D [13:19] DarthPuff, > and >> [13:19] is there a beta for ubuntu netbook remix such that we may experience the fruits of 10.4 now? [13:19] abhi_nav: I can not use fsck on a running system abhi_nav... it says "Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause [13:19] SEVERE filesystem damage." [13:20] Knofensa: yeah you need to run mount, "man mount" will give you a bassis. Learning by yourself would give you more experience, but if you have trouble don't be afraid to ask [13:20] klappi: so i would type ls -R >> index.txt? [13:20] howlymowly: hmm [13:21] klappi: i think i use one > in this case [13:21] Hello. [13:21] Has anyone had a problem with choppy audio since they upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10?

[13:27] Tetracomm: you should check launchpad as they introduced power-saving into the kernel for alsa i think!..and for a few its buggy [13:27] nhak: ls | wc -l might work.. [13:27] nhak: ls -a |wc -l [13:27] n1b: Ok, could you help me through this? I don't really know what i'm doing. [13:28] Slart,meganerd, thanks it works :) [13:28] nhak: find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l [13:28] i am trying to find out why mark shuttleworths 10 million pound attempt to market here failed [13:28] does any one know ? [13:28] nhak: just subtract one from the answer, since the first line is counted and it is not a file [13:28] daveonearth: where is "here" [13:28] daveonearth: wrong channel.. try #ubuntu-offtopic [13:28] Sorry [13:28] South africa [13:28] daveonearth: care to be more specific?

[13:31] Knofensa: is /dev/sdb the hard drive where windows is installed? If so you probably need to specify the partition number [13:31] Tetracomm: im new to! just a little research ive done while trying to debug my soundcard ! [13:31] Knofensa: "sudo parted /dev/sdb print" should be a good start [13:32] i just give up [13:32] i cant be assed no more [13:32] i didnt sign up for this shit [13:33] meganerd yes it is the HDD where windows is installed on! lemme try sudo parted /dev/sdb print [13:33] meganerd http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vdd0fLs5 [13:33] what does it say here?

[13:58] when i try to configure it using the nvidia-settings tool i can't get a resolution beyond 640x480 on my second monitor (both monitors are NEC MultiSync EA221WM). [13:58] i downloaded and installed the 195.36.15 driver for the card but it works as bad as the 185.18.36. configuring the card manually via the xorg.conf doesn't work at all. either xorg doesn't start up or i starts with the second monitor disabled. i've tried nearly everything possible and impossible but i don't come to grips with it... [13:58] maybe the whole problem is related to an EDID-misbehaviour but i can't tell... anyway when i try to get-edid|parse-edid the monitor is not being detected correctly (it says ModelName "AXR:1600" instead of something with "NEC") [13:58] this is my current xorg-log http://pastebin.com/NfVaSMKb [13:58] and this is my current xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/sHnU226m (this one causes X to start with just the primary display, the secondary is disabled) [13:58] tomiondrums: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:01] weird [14:01] exploreralex: :D [14:01] i will try again [14:01] histo: Because my client keyboard map to the server is banjaxxed [14:01] Gorgula: /join #winehq [14:01] ori: that will put you int he folder then you can juts sudo mount -o loop CS-CZ-CD2.iso /media/counterstrike [14:01] Dr_Willis: such as? [14:01] recon69_lap: oh, i guess i have to mention i'm using Kubuntu [14:01] funny [14:01] thanks [14:01] DarkStar1: really i've never had issues with that. [14:02] histo: thanx is there something like power iso that changes the amount of cd drives? [14:02] ori: use tab for autocompletetion. [14:02] recon69_lap: i'm pretty sure i have the original nvidia one [14:02] tomiondrums: join #kubuntu [14:02] ori: you can mount as many iso's as you want just mkdir's for each of them. [14:02] meganerd: shouldn't matter. this is a driver problem, not a ui problem. [14:02] histo my keyboard map gets screwed. so for instance if I hit the "t" key "n" shows up on the server [14:03] !unetbootin | exploreralex [14:03] Dr_Willis: what special tools are you talking about?? [14:03] exploreralex: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:03] ori: but like I was trying to say earlier if you are just trying to install counter strike you can use steam and your steam account. [14:03] but I have no problem logging in with a password [14:03] tomiondrums: kubuntu/ubuntu -- you're having a driver problem. You can check over in kubuntu, but a lot of people here can help with a driver problem too. [14:03] DarkStar1: hrm... Not sure on that one. I'd ask in #tightvnc if there is one. [14:03] ok does anyone know how to give access to one folder to one user and not let him go anyewhere else using ftp [14:03] DarkStar1: lemme try and find chanel [14:03] on openoffice presentation, how do I create an animation that makes bullets appear one by one? [14:03] it seems like there is no1 in there [14:03] tomiondrums: well, I'm not going to be much help anyway, luckly my HDTV is detected fine, I just need to get the display app to run in sudo mode so i can get it to update x-conf [14:03] q. how can i install a given version of a package ? as opposed to the lastest version with "sudo apt-get install mysuperpacakge" [14:04] histo: Thanks [14:04] DarkStar1: no they don't have a channel on here. [14:04] histo: alright. thanx alot! [14:04] jetienne: down load it and run 'dpkg -i {pacakge-name}' [14:04] I'm just thinking to uninstall the server and stick with vino [14:04] ok does anyone here use ftp server on an ubuntu box [14:04] Jimi_neutral: proftpd let's you restrict users to their home. Just set the home dir for a new user and use that to ftp [14:04] arch0njw: no other possibility ? [14:04] jetienne: not with apt-get/aptitute, or the UIs. [14:05] jetienne: other packages normally have the version added to the name "sudo apt-get install mysuperpacakge-version" [14:05] DarkStar1: http://www.tightvnc.com/freesupport.html [14:05] Jimi_neutral: i'd advise using ssh for secure ftp instead of ftp which is very weak in security [14:05] X [14:05] recon69_lap: oh i like this one [14:05] jetienne: i'm no expert though [14:05] arch0njw: i suppose my message will sink in this flood of communication before someone reads it who really could help me... :-( [14:05] Jimi_Neutral: have you considered running the ftp service in a chroot jail? [14:06] arch0njw: recon69_lapt: thanks [14:06] ActionParsnip, ok that right there what you just said went right over my head...i am totally new to it and need a tutuorial or major help....the thing is tho the folder that he needs access to is mbuk which is here.....var/www/mbuk.....now i have seen windows guis that allow access to that folder without fiving access to the www folder but can you do that with linux? [14:06] tomiondrums: re-ask ... don't mention the distro ;) You don't have an Ubuntu-flavor-specific quetion (IMO) [14:06] sipior, sorry i have no idea what u mean [14:06] tomiondrums: ask you question in one line with details and for multi lines use pastebin or imagebin for images. feel free to ask ubuntu questions [14:06] Jimi_Neutral: yes in the config for the ftp you can specify which folder they have access to. [14:06] Jimi_Neutral: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot [14:06] abhi_nav:it doesnt mention anything about the server edition. i read on a forum that usb booting can not be done for server edition. [14:07] DarkStar1: I can't find a irc channel for them. [14:07] DarkStar1: maybe the forums. or try a different vnc server for the time being. [14:07] sipior, unfortunatly i dont have time to read that, i just need to gett his set up before my boss eats my head [14:07] exploreralex: ahh, does trying takes money? no? then just try? its matter of 5-10 mins? pleaes try first [14:07] I'm getting an error when installing mysql-server-5.0: "subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" anyone know what that is? [14:07] Jimi_Neutral: what ftp daemon are you running right now? [14:07] Jimi_Neutral: "never time to do it right, always time to do it over..." :-) [14:07] histo, would you be able to help me set up from scratch [14:08] histo: I think I'll just uninstall it and stick with vino. The ubuntu standard [14:08] abhi_nav:have tried so said so. i'll try again. thanks again.:) [14:08] arch0njw, how do i burn the iso to the usb-stick now? [14:08] exploreralex: you tried? and it is not working? [14:08] sipior, tell me about it, i have a boss that expects miricales tho and i dont even know linux, i have an mcp and im ccna certified but he wants all this stuff done in linux [14:08] I'm getting "Failed to retrieve share list from server" error when trying to access my lan group is there someone available to help? [14:08] DarkStar1: well tightvnc server is different it doesn't share the desktop it creaets a new one from what I remembered [14:08] histo, i have no idea what u mean [14:08] dabukalam: just means a script failed, look at the console output to see if it gives an error message before the script exits [14:08] how can i call a notification from libnotify via cli? i want to make a notification on command. [14:08] Jimi_Neutral: have you done anything like installing ftp? [14:08] !unetbootin | jakiw [14:08] jakiw: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:08] Jimi_neutral: make a new user and set its home folder to the folder you want. You may find the config files go in the folder too. You can also have a home folder as normal with a link to the folder. The user will need appropriate access the the folder. [14:09] is there an issue with automount since the last kernel update? its not automounting my usb stick anymore? [14:09] yeah that's why I want it but I'm using this machine as a server [14:09] histo, only clients and for the last two days trying to get this server running [14:09] Jimi_Neutral: like proftp etc... [14:09] !ftpd | Jimi_Neutral [14:09] Jimi_Neutral: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [14:09] Jimi_Neutral: pick one [14:09] abhi_nav does it also work for other os's? [14:09] jakiw: you can't just "burn" a cd to a usb drive and expect it to work [14:09] recon69_lap: no it doesn't continue with the installation [14:09] abhi_nav: yes i did. it showed that the process completed successfully. then when i tried to boot a PC with the usb it said no boot-able files found. reboot or insert disk. [14:09] jakiw: yah all linux darivatives [14:09] histo: so I'm not bothered about creating a new one. Also with tight vnc I have 0 admin privileges [14:09] Jimi_Neutral: what you want is very specific so there will be no one guide. You will need a few guides to setup the components [14:09] histo, one with a grpahical front end would be nice, but one that actually works cause gadmin-proftpd dont [14:09] jakiw: yah all os [14:10] hi [14:10] Jimi_Neutral: k let me check somehting [14:10] !list [14:10] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[14:10] OpenOffice is better than MSOffice, but is there any counterpart for OneNote? [14:10] ActionParsnip, you have no idea what this guy is like [14:10] Jimi_Neutral: gproftpd [14:10] exploreralex: if server edition cant be use on usb then you cant, but if you officialy can, then you are not doing well procedures [14:10] !list [14:10] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:10] histo, gproftpd is gadmin-proftpd and it does not work [14:11] Jimi_Neutral: whats wrong with gadmin-proftpd ?

[14:11] BackGround [14:11] dabukalam: how are you running the install, it's hit an error, there should be some clues as to what failed printed out to the console. how are you running the install? [14:11] Jimi_Neutral: did it ask you for a sudo password? [14:11] histo, no [14:11] When I try to set an image, it stays black [14:11] how can I join the site with !list? [14:12] abhi_nav: hmm. that's the thing. its not mentioned even in the LTSP documentation. well lets see. [14:12] when i try to change to color, it stays black. [14:12] Jimi_Neutral: let me install it and take a look [14:12] Jimi_Neutral: are you supposed to set up an FTP share or something more like windows file sharing [14:12] Any nice OneNote-like notebook for Ubuntu?

[14:13] recon69_lap: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/ [14:13] anyone? [14:13] Jimi_Neutral: I use both at work, and I much prefer using Linux when I have a choice, especially for these tasks.

[14:16] abhi_nav: i've started the process of creating another usb startup disk. let's see where that leads me. i'll still go through the link. [14:16] ActionParsnip, when i say i dont know, i mean i really dont know....i have no idea how to configure even basic access tbh [14:16] Hello reoore [14:16] Hello rmoore [14:16] jimi_neutral: I've used proftp in the past and its defaulted to home, I think if you look in /etc/proftpd.conf (I think its that file) there's a line to set the directory to home [14:16] !hi | rmoore [14:16] rmoore: 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! [14:16] recon69_lap: is there a reason you are downgrading your install from 5.1 to 5.0. ? [14:16] dabukalam: no clue... but seems to have ceased. [14:16] are there any code junkies in here? [14:16] Ah! I got it! Basket is a nice solution for OneNote! [14:16] arch0njw: thank god :) [14:16] ActionParsnip, and not being arsey, i knwo it sounds like it but im not, how does that help me? [14:17] Jimi_neutral: only one way to find out, get a server in and get configging and learning [14:17] haloo [14:17] exploreralex: stop that and see that link first. link may have important info. and do remember to do google always first [14:17] Jimi_Neutral: well the server is probably running [14:17] ActionParsnip, i dont have time with all th other shit i have to do [14:17] Jimi_Neutral: netstat -ta in a terminal will show you. [14:17] recon69_lap: I'm not, 5.1 isn't installed. phpmyadmin wants me to have 5.0, it doesn't work with 5.1 [14:17] abhi_nav: okay. doing that. [14:17] so... black background, no help, me sad, crying and all... :( [14:17] exploreralex: :) [14:17] Jimi_neutral: but you have time to idle in irc till someone spoonfeeds you commands? [14:17] i have a simple ???? [14:17] histo, yeah looks liek it is [14:17] Hello abhi_nav [14:17] !patience | solow [14:17] ActionParsnip, it is not spoon feed, i just want a tut [14:18] solow: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [14:18] rocket16: hellow!!!!! [14:18] ActionParsnip, you never followed a tut in your time working with linux? [14:18] Jimi_Neutral: and it took my settings in the GUI even though it errored I'm just trying to connect now. [14:18] abhi_nav: :) [14:18] dabukalam, the time it took to type that could have been used to answer my question :P [14:18] histo, how are you connaecting....did you make up user and pass? [14:19] So, friends, a nice thing here, in my locality, today we switched 5 PC users to Ubuntu [14:19] Jimi_Neutral: what do you need a tutorial for? just using proftpd? [14:19] Jimi_Neutral: yeah and added a directory [14:19] Jimi_neutral: yes but I found them online. I found this one which looks pretty good http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/pureftp.htm [14:19] Gnea, installing, configuring [14:19] solow: please don't be obnoxious. I didn't type that, a bot typed that, and who told you I have the answer to your question? [14:19] join #nonsensopedia [14:19] test [14:19] setting up a raid file server with 1gig of ram. Would I be better off setting up a swap? or should 1 gig be more than enough for file server duties. This is running Ebox. So all the xwindows stuff won't be running. Thanks. [14:19] moin, can someone tell me how i can mount a nfs share and tell mount to map the gid/uids to local users? [14:20] ActionParsnip: he's looking for one wiht a GUI admin panel or something [14:20] im having a problem making a script that will "sudo cp filename.conf /etc" [14:20] dabukalam: so what command are you using to install mysql 5.0? [14:20] anonymoushash: how many users is the server serving? [14:20] Jimi_Neutral: okay, so what's stopping you from searching ubuntuforums.org for certain keywords such as "proftpd setup tutorial"? [14:20] Hey friends, is Gnotes same to Tomboy? [14:20] Histo: gui for ftp is silly [14:20] Jimi_Neutral: yeah i'm going to try another one. === neoteo is now known as BsdNeo [14:20] Gnea, i have spent the last two days doing that but the gui does not work [14:20] recon69_lap: like in the pastebin, apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 [14:20] ActionParsnip: gui for configuration is what he is looking for. [14:20] rmoore: you have to tell what will be the file name [14:20] Jimi_Neutral: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ubuntu+proftp+setup [14:20] Jimi_neutral: there are nice command examples there you can use [14:21] dabuk: about 5 max [14:21] yes i did ... resolv.conf [14:21] dabukalam, Don't be so rude. I was just joking you prick. God lighten up a bit would yah. [14:21] Histo: I see, never seen one. Man pages and online guides are brilliant [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: sudo apt-get install pure-admin [14:21] anonymoushash: 1GB should be more than enough [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: remove the gadmin-proftpd stuff [14:21] dabukalam: think you might need sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: your largest challenge will be permissions, since you are not familiar with the platform. You may wish to google for "linux file permissions" [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: uhm, why do you need to use a gui? [14:21] !language | solow\ [14:21] solow\: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:21] !language | solow [14:21] solow: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:21] rmoore: and what error it gives you? [14:22] Gnea, why do most epople who just started linux use GUI? [14:22] dabuK: thats what I was thinking.. just wanted to get another opinion. thanks again. [14:22] Gnea: windows guy, GUIs are required for some reason [14:22] Gnea, apart from that i was told to [14:22] arch0njw, What is it with you people? he's calling me obnoxious, and I'm the one being rude? [14:22] histo, ok doing that now [14:22] histo, couldnt find package [14:22] Jimi_neutral: once you realise how simple an ftp server is and the config file (just one humanly readable file) is equally simple you can config away happily [14:22] solow: "obnoxious" isn't foul language. I haven't been following the conversation, but did notice the inappropriate language you used. [14:23] !language | dabukalam [14:23] dabukalam: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:23] solow: on the contrary, you are being rude. I was just asking you to stop repeating your question as in IRC that makes people less likely to answer you. We're all here to help each other, if i had the answer to your question i would answer you [14:23] Jimi_Neutral: couldn't find what package? [14:23] Jimi_Neutral: ah, well I didn't know that. I used to set it up by editting the proftpd.conf file itself. found that I was able to get results faster that way. but let's see here... [14:23] the command works but only when entered manually from term as root.. wont run from script. i know its a protected file as it resets afgter reboot [14:23] ubottu: test [14:23] hrm? [14:23] histo, sudo apt-get install pure-admin [14:24] rmoore: oo so the real question is how 2 use sudo in a shell script [14:24] Jimi_Neutral: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588& [14:24] ok [14:24] abhi_nav, hi, selecting the windows iso works just fine, but then I hangs up at a random percent (First time 46, then 16, now 6) [14:24] Gnea, yes [14:24] dabukalam, i was not being rude. I was repeating the question because it was moving away, and not in my screen anymore. And calling me obnoxious is insulting me, because I was just joking, and you took it way to serious. [14:24] BinariDragon: is it a good idea to call the script as root? [14:24] abhi_nav, maybe first time 47, dunno [14:24] BinariDragon: instead of using sudo inside [14:24] Binaridragon: just use it as normal, write sudo in the script. Then launch the script with sudo and it will be fne [14:24] jakiw: hmmm. it is called as WindowsCrazyThings(TM) read that tm in caps and too loudly [14:25] sugestions?? im a newbie [14:25] Jimi_Neutral: some of that is pretty old, but much of it, like the config file editting, is unchanged in years [14:25] Jimi_Neutral: what version of ubuntu are you using? [14:25] solow: it's recommended that you wait 5 min before reposting you question, not when it moves off the screen :) [14:25] jakiw: dont know much about it then [14:25] Gnea, he doesnt need access to a home folder he needs access to mbuk and only mbuk which is inside www [14:25] recon69_lap, good. thanks for a normal answer. :) [14:25] rmoore: change the permissiong with chown on the the script [14:25] histo, karmic [14:25] abhi_nav, so u cant help? [14:25] Jimi_Neutral: yeah you can create a user and just lock him in /var/www/mbuk [14:25] 9.04 i think [14:25] rmoore: if you run a script from rc.local it will also get ran as root. (or commands from rc.local) [14:25] Jimi_Neutral: I don't know what mbuk is. I can only guess that it's a subdir [14:25] One of my email folders was just deleted from Evolution, suddenly! It also does not appear in the webmail client any more. I am afraid Evolution somehow deleted it... Any ideas where should I look for it? [14:25] !info pure-admin | Jimi_Neutral [14:25] Jimi_Neutral: Package pure-admin does not exist in karmic [14:25] solow: if you want to continue this please do it in a PM, as this channel is not designed for arguments [14:25] Gnea, sorry yea it is [14:26] jakiw: since it is hanging you said, I cant help. Its out of my understanding [14:26] histo, but you just told me to install it lol [14:26] Jimi_neutral: make a new user with a symlink to the folder it needs access to amongst its own data [14:26] Hi. I have this blueman repository, and it shows up in the synaptic->repositories, but it isn't there is the /etc/apt/sources.list. Would anyone know why? [14:26] Jimi_Neutral: sry sudo apt-get instal pureadmin [14:26] dabukalam, I stopped already. just made my point is all. [14:26] Jimi_Neutral: dash was a typo [14:26] abhi_nav, ok, thx [14:26] histo, ah ok [14:26] vHanda: because its in /etc/apt/sources.list.d perhaps? [14:26] I am using imap connection [14:26] Jimi_Neutral: no problem. but yeah, just like histo said, just set it up like any old user account. there's even a configuration directive that you can use to chroot jail it. [14:26] i hate wen people ask for help and after they get what they want just leave without even saying thank you [14:26] Dr_Willis: Oh. There is another folder. I'll check in that. Thanks. [14:26] jakiw: welcome :D [14:27] histo, ok installed [14:27] vHanda: its considered bad practice to add stuff to sources.list these days.. use seperate files in soures.list.d [14:27] dont cost much to say thanks [14:27] maybe 2 seconds [14:27] Binaridragon: +1,000,000 [14:27] BinariDragon: Most people think everyone here is supposed to help them :/ [14:27] Jimi_Neutral: now just run pureadmin and configure [14:27] BinariDragon: +2 [14:27] histo, how [14:27] http://nopaste.info/b0f3caa97f.html - my ubuntu thinks its 1.may 2194 (this would be the year) and ntpdate cannot convice him that he is wrong? whats going on here? i tried several ntp servers [14:27] histo, to run# [14:27] Jimi_Neutral: its under applications > system tools > pureadmin [14:27] BinariDragon: /s/most/some [14:27] histo, ok === andy is now known as Guest78480 [14:27] Dr_Willis: Yup. It's there. Thanks. Learnt something new :-) [14:27] theadmin: [14:27] theadmin: lol [14:27] BinariDragon: that's weird, 99% of the people I help tend to thank me [14:27] and i cant access gmail as the server certificate ahs expired 184 years ago :( [14:28] abhi_nav can I somehow burn the image on another partition (i have like 5 :P) and then use that partition to install windows on another partition? [14:28] Gnea: the 1% need teaching [14:28] nibbler: is this ubuntu 94.04 lonely human? [14:28] BinariDragon: even if the problem wasn't actually solved [14:28] dabukalam, nope, 9.10, little bit outdated for this year ;-) - and you missed a "1" [14:28] ActionParsnip: can't help everyone, only those that truly want it. [14:28] Jakiw: you can use partimage to backup a partition to a compressed file [14:28] Gnea: aye [14:29] nibbler: i noticed, :D [14:29] jakiw: yah you can [14:29] nibbler: do you have a windows partition? [14:29] dabukalam, yep that aswell [14:29] Jakiw: you can burn It to a dvd etc if it gives enough space [14:29] ActionParsnip, My Optical drive doesnt work [14:30] Jakiw: if you then delete the partition then it can be used by another OS [14:30] histo, ok i have added a new user....how do i lock him so he can only access a certain folder [14:30] abhi_nav, how, is there a tutorial or a prog? [14:30] recon69_lap: yeah, that's what i meant, sudo apt-get [14:30] Jakiw: or usb stick then or network file store [14:30] 5 minutes are up. how can i change resolution settings in ubuntu? my monitor says its not supported when booting, and my background of my desktop stays black. [14:30] BinariDragon: maybe people don't want a solution that they haven't agreed upon. I see that a lot. [14:30] jakiw: dont know............... [14:30] jakiw: do googling [14:30] Jackiw: some storage anyway [14:30] ActionParsnip Ye, but how do i do it? [14:30] solow: what video card do you have [14:31] Jimi_Neutral: click edit user [14:31] histo, yup [14:31] jakiw: it depends on the OS that you are trying to install [14:31] Bleh, why "find ~ -name somefile 2>/dev/null" works faster then Nautilus search? [14:31] Jimi_Neutral: settigns are on the right specify the folder for him [14:31] Jakiw: boot to livecd so the partition isn't mounted and use partimage. You will need a destination partition mounted to receive the image [14:31] Help? A whole folder of emails, with all of its contents, was deleted just now from my email account... I think I should blame evolution. I am using IMAP. Any help? [14:31] Jimi_Neutral: you probably also want to give that user rights to that folder on the system. [14:31] BinariDragon, I have no idea. but the backgroun should at least work. [14:31] dabukalam: well, I'm out of ideas, have you tried the synaptic packet manager. cant think of anything else [14:31] histo, aye can see them but how do i make sure he can oly browse there and no where else [14:31] theadmin: gnome :) [14:31] meganerd, ActionParsnip, I want to install Windows on a partition, but I only have a Disc and my Optical Drive is broken [14:31] ablad en español coño [14:31] hehe, setting my time to the right century, ntpdate actually fixed the rest....

[14:32] ubuntu is telling me I have 20% signal, when there's an AP right above my head. When I plug in a USB wireless adapter, I get 100% signal. wha thte? [14:32] Jakiw: windows installs are offtopic here [14:32] jakiw: I have never succeeded with this [14:32] !list [14:32] !list [14:32] Hello all [14:32] hello [14:32] Roasted: does the chip need firmware? [14:32] avatorking: ubottu is clever than you :P [14:32] theadmin: even the most basic gnome-based app uses more libraries than it really needs to. so when you want to do a simple search, it has to access all of these system resources in order to accomplish it. on the commandline, it's just simple. [14:33] ActionParsnip, what backups? The messages are not stored on my computer, but in my host's servers, and I am using imap. It is deleted from the server, I'm afraid. Does evolution keeps backups anyway on my own machine? [14:33] Gnea: Oh, i see... [14:33] jakiw: the windows installer kind of assumes that you are installing from an optical drive. I did install Windows 7 with a USB based DVD drive, but that is way OT here [14:33] ActionParsnip, It's a broadcom. It works fine otherwise. I can go home and get 100% signal and whatever else. It's just weird that my internal card at my desk at work is ALWAYS 20% when Im in range of an AP for 100%. Yet a USB adapter picks it up fine... [14:33] Peleg: if the data is important you will have a regular backup to an external storage incase of disaster [14:33] meganerd, ActionParsnip, ok, thx for trying to help [14:34] theadmin: it's akin to the bloat that we see on windows-based systems, only applied differently. [14:34] jakiw: if this is for school and not games, virtualbox might be the answer [14:34] How do i get smth like "Start terminal here" to right-click menu? [14:34] Hi, I cannot log into my gnome session anymore, only failsafe works. I am using 9.04. /var/log/syslog gives me this : kernel: ... mtrr: no MTRR for e0000000, 100000 found. I tried with kernels 2.6.31-20 and 2.6.31-19 [14:34] is there a way to set all init.scripts from /etc/rc0.d/ to debug-modus? i dont want to write set -x so every file and i cant find a way to say bash, it should always use set -x [14:34] Hello. [14:34] :) [14:34] Gnea: bleh, don't remind me of windows plzzz [14:34] ActionParsnip, well, the "external storage" is exactly the remote server! That's why I am using imap, and not pop3 that leaves everything on my risky HD... [14:34] Jakiw: the image system is supported here. I use it to backup fresh installs of new releases as restoring the image is fater than the system can be installed [14:34] jakiw: i use windows in virtualbox. for college purpose [14:34] theadmin: sorry :) [14:34] !hi | Kathlyn [14:34] Kathlyn: 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! [14:34] meganerd and how do i install on Virtualbox without a disc? [14:35] hell [14:35] jakiw: you can use an ISO [14:35] o [14:35] jakiw: with isos [14:35] jakiw: you just only need iso to install on virtualbox [14:35] Apparently my 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller video card is installed and configured correctly but, I still have an issue because for some reason I cannot choose a resolution higher than 800 X 600 even though I know I should be able to. [14:35] nibbler: try typing in terminal: date 032514352010 [14:35] Peleg: if the mails are still on the server then just configure a new profile and the server will be reread [14:35] jakiw: virtualbox and VMWare can use ISOs and present them to the virtualized environment as emulated optical drives [14:35] Can anyone here possibly help me out? [14:35] histo, you are an angel mate, i owe you a beer...it connects, it recognises the username but it wont accept the password [14:35] ok im back yall... [14:36] meganerd ok, ill try [14:36] dabukalam: setting my time to the right century, ntpdate actually fixed the rest.... [14:36] Kcantin: you may need an xorg.conf to get a decent res [14:36] Jimi_Neutral: let me check something [14:36] hm. I hope when time changes from non-DST to DST i don't have to do a fsck? [14:36] nibbler: great [14:36] kcantin: http://chvnx.com/post/280205781/change-screen-resolution-in-linux-ubuntu follow these instructions and change it according to your desired resolution. Replace VGA1 with VGA. [14:37] Hello ActionParnsnip, do you think that would be the answer? [14:37] theadmin: what is dst and non-dst? [14:37] histo, i can see it popping up in the window pane on the right and then shooting off again [14:37] ActionParsnip, I am thankful for your help, but I am afraid you're not reading my messages well; the folder is completely vanished, even when I try to access it using a webmail client. I think that somehow evolution deleted it completely from here and from the server, although it is configured not to really delete anything until I "purge" it (but maybe this does not apply to complete folders) [14:37] hey sup, i'm using 9.10. anybody tried to add a shortcut for jdownloader? [14:37] abhi_nav: daylight savings time [14:37] abhi_nav: Daylight saving time, you know liek time shifts 1 hour back at winter... and back at summer [14:37] hello eremite, I think I remember you from before. [14:37] i would like to stream audio and video what would be the best way of going about this ? [14:37] WhiteDawn: ohhh thankyou [14:37] Kcantin: eremite may have the key. If you do need an xorg.conf you will need to find one online as jkarmic and later do not have one [14:37] Hi I am trying to learn basic opengl on my amd64 ubuntu karmic install with intel x3100 graphics chipset on a dell inspiron 1420 laptop... When I compile and run the application, the rendered display doesn't get synced to vblanks of my LCD, however the packaged glxgears application that came with my distro has its rendered framed synced with vblanks... am I missing something in my programming [14:37] theadmin: hmm ok [14:37] kcantin: YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDNT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THAT POST THEN [14:38] I'm getting an error while trying to install mysql-server-5.0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/ [14:38] sorrty, caps locl [14:38] !shout eremite [14:38] Would anyone know how to enable networking in Failsafe mode? I cannot access the internet (there's no network manager) [14:38] eremite: no need for that. [14:38] Chad__: like a radio station or just for couple of friends [14:38] Jimi_Neutral: check /var/log/daemon (use a text editor or a pager like less) [14:38] Emerite, where do I change vga1 to vga? [14:38] Gnea: no need for what? [14:38] anybody here uses jdownloader? [14:38] Peleg: yowser...hmm does you email provider provide data restore? [14:38] meganerd, what am i checking for [14:38] theadmin: and WhiteDawn: but it never happends with me. do i need to care about it? does it affect me? [14:38] dmdevotee: I did someday... [14:38] Jimi_Neutral: errors [14:38] * eremite /ignores peopel who have no idea what they are talking about [14:38] Jimi_Neutral: this will explain https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP [14:38] Emerite, YiKes! No, unfortunatlely not. I have not had a chance to get back to it though. [14:38] Anybody know how to get this theme? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2360/2378666054_37557e5201.jpg [14:38] abhi_nav: Guess no :/ [14:39] Jimi_Neutral: /var/log is like the event viewer, but better IMO [14:39] binaridragon: just for couple of friends i basically just want to be able to access my content from anywhere and play it and i dont know where to begin [14:39] theadmin: hmm [14:39] Jimi_Neutral: I have to get going though someone else should be able to help you with the password issue. The user needs to be a member of ftpgroup [14:39] theadmin: could you remember if you succesfully could do a shortcut? [14:39] louhusson: you would have to load the modules manualy, then setup your network with ifconfig [14:39] rocket16: ask the person who posed that SS? :) [14:39] Thanks a lot Fell'as!! [14:39] ActionParsnip, I am not sure, maybe. I will ask them, of course... do you know if evolution keeps logs? Where I can find whether it got a "deletion order" for that folder, or something similar? [14:39] dmdevotee: Depends on how do you install it. [14:39] NP Emerite [14:39] histo, ah ok....ty bud you are a star === umopepisdn` is now known as Guest39927 [14:39] BinariDragon:i was told vlc but i can't seem to find concrete instructions on this [14:39] theadmin: i installed it with the script jd.sh from their page [14:39] arch0njm: Yes, but this is really tiresome. I don't know him. [14:39] kcantin: if you want me to guide you through the steps to fix that, send me a PM [14:40] WhiteDawn: ok, I have absolutely no idea how to do that. [14:40] BinariDragon: im running karmic server [14:40] Rocket16: its just a green metacity with green coloured gnome panel. You can get a green metacity etc from www.gnome-look.org [14:40] Chad__: look in to vlc and mythTV [14:40] code is here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kNbMHWqD [14:40] dabukalam: actually it breaks in 1078 [14:40] dmdevotee: So just make a launcher for this script, that's all, just make sure it has a permission to be executed. [14:40] dmdevotee: jdownloader is not a part of Ubuntu. You won't get help for it here. [14:40] help anyone! [14:40] dabukalam: actually it breaks in 2078 [14:40] heres what im doing....i have a moto droid and wanted to do a usb tether to my ubuntu laptop fot internet...i got that working, but....im trying to create a script to "start the modem" without having to go to terminal every time. it only has 3 lines. 1 forward port (works)2copy over /etc/resolv.conf (not work)3start vpn(works) [14:40] theadmin: if i execute that script with sudo, in terminal it works, but i can't make the shortcut works [14:40] Jimi_Neutral: they need be added witht he pure-pw if they aren't a user ont he local machine basicallyu [14:40] m_anish: what happends? [14:40] Peleg: try /var/log or $HOME/.evolution for logs [14:40] Chad__: you may also look in Deluge BitTorrent, works well for remote use [14:40] dmdevotee: sudo!? It shouldn't require that. [14:40] nibbler: huh? [14:40] histo, no they arent, there is only me and my boss on this box [14:40] louhusson: lol, well you can use lsmod to see modules currently running, then remember those and use modprobe to load them. "man ifconfig" will tell you all about how to use ifconfig to setup your network [14:41] histo, wont this change wehre they log in to tho [14:41] BinariDragon: for streaming audio and video [14:41] ActionParsnip: Here's my Ubuntu desktop. Green green green :) http://chvnx.com/post/468482521/my-current-ubuntu-desktop-what-does-yours-look [14:41] hmm, reboot time, hope i'v not fryed my x-conf [14:41] ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [14:41] !ask | m_anish [14:41] m_anish: 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. :-) [14:41] the resolv.conf will only over write if don manually [14:41] dabukalam, ntpdate fixes my time, unless the time of my computer is beyond 2078 - for i in $(seq 10 99); do echo $i; date 0420150020$i>/dev/null; ntpdate 192.168.200.117 > /dev/null ; date; done [14:41] sh /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh : doesn't work [14:41] nibbler: what's the output of hwclock? [14:41] sudo sh /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh : work [14:41] dmdevotee: Anyway, you can make a launcher start stuff in terminal doing "gnome-terminal -x COMMAND" [14:42] hi all, i'm trying to understand what's an acceptable label string for amanda backup, the config file says DailySet1[0-9][0-9]*$ I don't understand what *$ means [14:42] Chad__vlc can offer a simple way to stream butmythTV can do a better job at it [14:42] Jimi_Neutral: no just like sudo pure-pw useradd joblow -u ftpuser -d /var/www/whatever_that_folder_was then sudo pure-pw mkdb [14:42] dabukalam, Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. [14:42] abhi_nav, well basically when i compile n run, something is displayed in a window but its framerate is not consistent ... when i increase the size of the window the framerate decreases and vice-versa but with the glxgears applicatio the framerate is always constant [14:42] dabukalam, by the way, i dont have any open issue, just trying to figure out what went wrong.... [14:42] Eremite: not bad, mines a pretty plain green openbox theme with a dark green background [14:42] Jimi_Neutral: nah hold up [14:42] m_anish: its about opengl? then Please askin open gl channel. [14:43] thadmin: i have to put only the path, or sh path? [14:43] WhiteDawn: thanks. However that means I need to find a list of those running modules, and my initial problem is that I cannot log into Gnome except when in Failsafe (I'm using a mac to connect to IRC) [14:43] histo, ok [14:43] did anyone get thAt?? [14:43] ghostlines: that's a regular expression [14:43] Jimi_Neutral: ignore that [14:43] dmdevotee: Meh, if it's executable you don't even NEED 'sh' [14:43] abhi_nav, ok thanks! [14:43] nibbler: oh, so it's fixed... [14:43] histo, lol ok [14:43] thx, will try [14:43] nibbler: yeah it's a wierd problem [14:43] m_anish: :) [14:43] Jimi_neutral: see how command line and config files get advised over gui ways... [14:43] ghostlines: "$" means "the end of the line" [14:43] dmdevotee: using sh on ubuntu uses /bin/dash as an interpreter. You probably do not want this [14:44] dabukalam, yep, so thanks anyway :) [14:44] ghostlines: what they are saying is that you can have that first part, any number 0-9 repeated as many times as you want until the end of the name. [14:44] nibbler: when it changed, was the time correct? or were they both off? [14:44] ActionParsnip, yes i knwo that and i know that it is better bud, but when you got a boss like mine you panic and u just want the quickest and easiest way and the way you know [14:44] dmdevotee: make the file executable or use bash instead of sh [14:44] is there a way to burn a dvd with ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server iso and allow you options to install either or ? [14:44] ActionParsnip, I can't find logs, but I did find that folder: /folders/INBOX/subfolders/University -- and University is exactly the folder I lost! [14:44] nibbler: I didn't do anything! [14:44] Peleg: does it have stuff in? [14:45] Hello , can someone recommend me on good tool for Ubuntu for resizing SWF ? ( width and height) [14:45] histo, if it helps SmartFTP is telling me the password is hidden [14:45] emerite, how do I PM you?

[14:45] shay2772 hmmm [14:45] dabukalam, well, you helped and gave me the date command, i figured it out myself meanwhile but still... thanks for the effort [14:46] arch0njw, butttt, they said that's still is invalid:S [14:46] hi, why there is no partimage in 64bit karmic? [14:46] ActionParsnip: how can i set the size ? [14:46] ActionParsnip, either way, the messages should not be saved on the computer... [14:46] Is it possible that hacker puts a virus on my update manager? I'm scared to download updates :S [14:46] Jimi_Neutral: try sudo mv /etc/pure-ftpd/auth/PureDB 50PureDB [14:46] nibbler: not at all [14:46] arch0njw, sorry my bad [14:46] nibbler: :) [14:46] Shay2772: you'll have to find guides or read the long man pages [14:46] ghostlines: oops. take out the dash :) [14:46] sobczyk: because it does not build for the 64bit version [14:46] Jimi_Neutral: see if that helps with the authentication [14:46] sobczyk: you can use gparted, I think. Its in the synaptic repos. [14:46] I'm getting an error while trying to install mysql-server-5.0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/ [14:46] sobczyk: i am using 64 bit 9.10 too, what is partimage? [14:46] !partimage [14:47] dabukalam: that is a different program that does something different [14:47] Peleg: yeah, maybe the folders get made to hold temp stuff [14:47] :) [14:47] partimage is for backing up partitions especially usefull fot ntfs [14:47] WhiteDawn: there is only /etc/modules and it only has two lines : lp and rtc [14:47] sobczyk: ohhh thats why meganerd said 'different' hmm :D [14:47] sobczyk: I just boot with systemrescuecd (usually the USB verson) or use something like clonezilla [14:47] louhusson: ok, can you do a lspci and put that in a pastebin?

[14:49] !hi | allu2 [14:49] if the resolution script does not work I know that I have an Xorg.Conf.Bak file to work from but, I have no clue what to do with it. [14:49] allu2: 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! [14:49] eremite, I need a compressed win7 backup is there anything better than partimage for that (free ofcourse) [14:50] internet browser for ubuntu [14:50] in launcher: gnome-terminal -x bash /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh doesn't work [14:50] !firefox | amani [14:50] amani: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [14:50] histo, there is 65unix and 70pam in there [14:50] please, is there any way to add launcher to .sh files that NEEDS sudo? [14:50] sobczyk: clonezilla, though Windows 7 does not play nice (there are two partitions now, some sort of boot partition and then the data or C: drive) [14:50] Cany anyone tell me why Ubuntu send pings to ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET? <--- Why does Ubuntu send ANYTHING about my computer to this website? Spyware? [14:50] how to run java programs in ubuntu? [14:51] WhiteDawn: it seems to list all hardware components. I'm quite new to linux, is it always that complicated? I just booted 2 days ago and gnome wouldn't start, and failsafe doesn't have internet so it's not usable at all. [14:51] Jimi_Neutral: yeah it should looka the pure db first because of hte 50 [14:51] histo, i have no idea what you just said lol [14:51] Sobczyk: partimage is exactly what you want if you want a compressed image of a partition [14:51] Jimi_Neutral: this is why you just use the text files to change the setting instead of the gui's [14:51] histo, why? [14:52] Eremite: i'd ask jeeves ;) [14:52] histo, actually dont worry about that, im never gonna remember. [14:52] !java | amani [14:52] amani: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository [14:52] WhiteDawn: By the way lspci found the wireless card if that is what you were looking for (network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Kedron Network Connection (rev 61)) [14:52] I wondered what for is that small windows partition, now I know it's for making backing up more miserable [14:53] eremite: that name is an alias, and is used for multicast over a network. [14:53] sobczyk: gotta love change. [14:53] Jimi_Neutral: well they are just plain text files in /etc/ for configuration when yous tart messing with gui apps god knows what they are changing. [14:54] histo, ohhh i see [14:54] Is anyone aware of a decent open source project that helps to do an impact analysis for a business continuity plan? [14:54] eremite, thanks....just let me know when you might be available. [14:55] Cdavis: I've used openoffice calc for that [14:55] erUSUL: nice Dune reference. I think that java page has false information. "The GCJ flavor of Java is installed as default" in Karmic, default-jre points to openjdk [14:55] I'm getting an error while trying to install mysql-server-5.0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/ [14:55] Jimi_Neutral: I have to get going though anyone else should be able to help you get going. [14:55] i have synth plugged in gameport when i run aplaymidi -l i find MPU-401 UART witch seems to be the synth, i want to use the synth to produce piano sounds but i don't know how, i have qsynth and rosegarden i tried to get them work so i could hear what i play but when i play in rosegarden and record i just see rosegarden takes the input but i don't hear the sound form my headset, how i could hear the gameport synth in ubuntu 9.10 ? [14:55] edakiri: tk :) i will look into updating that wiki page ... [14:56] ActionParsnip: point taken, however this is to help co-workers and they want something a little less thought provoking [14:56] histo, ok, ty for all your help, i can see it actually works now so i am half way there [14:57] Cdavis: well, what do they want? Its a cost spreadsheet === barf_ is now known as barf [14:58] I'm entering a programming contest over the weekend. Much to my dismay it is being run with visual studio, and Windows. Having experienced this abomination before I am aware that the windows terminal has nothing on Bash. I'm wondering what is the preferred way to use Bash under Windows? Thanks. [14:58] ActionParsnip: they want a web front end that asks questions about disasters, probabilities and impacts to determine what the policy needs to state. [14:58] My 2gig USB stick is showing it has 39 megabytes free, but it has only 1 gig of files on it. The .Trashes is empty, and I'm showing hidden files--the 1 gig of data includes the .Trashes and any other hidden folders. Ejecting, remounting, refreshing... nothing shows the proper empty space, and so I can't copy stuff larger than 30 megabytes onto it. [14:58] ola [14:58] I'm new to Ubuntu, could someone help me diagnose an issue I have? I cannot log in to my gnome session - the screen jitters for one second and then throws me back at the login screen. However Failsafe gome works. [14:58] What is going on, and how can I fix it? [14:58] Cdavis: gotcha, then you can code an html page with some php etc and it will work fine [14:58] hola [14:58] ActionParsnip: I could, but they have told me I have other priorities :) [14:59] kajo: is the partition 2GB? [14:59] Yes, it's a 2gig partition. [14:59] how do I change the description of a file type? [14:59] louhusson: that's an incorrect username/password response [14:59] kajo: paste the output of sudo fdisk -l [14:59] Jophish: powershell has a lot of functionality and runs on windows [14:59] dabukalam, [14:59] how i could listen sound from /dev/midi1 ? [14:59] kajo: oh ok [14:59] ActionParsnip, I will look into it. Thanks. [14:59] !midi | allu2 [14:59] allu2: Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [14:59] if anyone wondered partimage 0.6.8 compiles fine on amd64 so I have no idea why it's not in repos [14:59] louhusson: sounds like Xorg can not set the video mode correctly. look in /var/log for relevant logged errors [15:00] Cdavis: then shrug and say fine. Do what you are told. When they bitch you, say you were told you had other priorities [15:00] kajo: try copying everything to the desktop and formatting the drive [15:00] once you install dockbar how do you begin using it??? [15:00] i am unable to login my ubuntu desktop.this is the message"The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" [15:00] Cdavis: make regular noise though so they know you are aware. I did that where I worked. Soon made idiot managers pay attention [15:00] dabukalam, is there really no other solution? This is a ridiculous problem. It really disappoints me that I'm running into this with Ubuntu. [15:00] dabukalam, http://paste.ubuntu.com/401201/ [15:01] @now [15:01] Current time in Etc/UTC: March 25 2010, 15:01:05 [15:01] erUSUL, i have seen that many times, it just tells me how i can play .mid files, not helping me to use my synth on gameport to make piano sound :( [15:01] does someone know the command that is made first to print your encryption key for your homedir ? [15:01] kajo: yeah, i would definitely format that. it looks horrible [15:01] once you install dockbar how do you begin using it??? [15:01] someone pls look into this.i am unable to login my ubuntu desktop.this is the message"The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" [15:01] cannot remember it [15:02] allu2: so you want to sen midi to a external synth ? [15:02] please, is there any way to add launcher to .sh files that NEEDS sudo? [15:02] allu2: you should ask maybe in #ubuntustudio [15:02] edakiri: do you mean the xorg.0.log ? [15:02] no-one using encyption on home here ? [15:02] erUSUL: i think he wants to use a external synth to send midi to the computer [15:02] Aalwiz: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-power-manager [15:02] Aalwiz: maybe [15:02] louhusson: yes [15:02] OK, I have installed pureFTP on my ubuntu webserver box and I can log in to it fine using the log in creds for the actual box but when I add a user using the managemt GUI it sees the name but will not accept the password....any idea how I can solve this? [15:02] erUSUL, i just want to test my synth plugged in gameport so that when i press for example C note i hear piano C [15:02] WhiteDawn: allu2 so is midi keyboard ? [15:02] Matboy: not worth the heartache so no [15:03] WhiteDawn: I managed to get internet working, I just had to start nm-applet [15:03] louhusson: oh ok, good! [15:03] anyone knows what type of video i can use in openoffice? [15:03] louhusson: sorry about earlyer, school network is crap [15:03] I am but I installed once and forgot how to use it, lol. [15:03] siropio: ogg vorbis? [15:03] Siropio; i'd ask in #openoffice.org [15:04] I just want to know how to use a dockbar once you have installed it [15:04] erUSUL, yes [15:04] histo are you still here? [15:04] edakiri: there a lot of stuff and there is no date/time. What shoudl I look for? [15:04] sorry i will check there [15:04] hi , i updated my system and now i unable to close , resize or move the window [15:04] Jimi_neutral: try: sudo passwd usernametochange [15:04] once you install dockbar how do you begin using it??? [15:05] allu2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToQjackCtlConnections <<<< see here [15:05] when i run cat /dev/midi1 everytime i press one key i get nonsense output, so the synth works [15:05] please, is there any way to create a launcher for .sh files that NEEDS sudo to run? [15:05] ActionParsnip: there seems to be very little you don't know. Does that apply to LAMP? [15:05] meganerd: or are you still here? [15:05] Jkd: press alt+f2 and type dockbar ,press enter [15:05] dmdevotee: yes [15:05] dmdevotee: sure [15:05] Hi guys. My system is wanting to undate, but it's telling me that two packages cannot be authenticated: xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core. Should I be concerned about this? I've cancelled the update for now. [15:05] dmdevotee: yes just put gksudo before the command [15:06] i think [15:06] ActionParsnip, says user does not exist.....the username i am adding is not a user on the actual box it is only me on that box [15:06] Dabukalam: I know little of sound ;) for one. Its worth a try. I just websearch stuff. Some users won't websearch for some reason [15:06] maybe someone else could help me here...: i want to burn a CDrom but im currently on the a ubuntu live-cd and i cant open the tray.. [15:06] everytime i have to go to appearacne->desktop effects ->normal effects [15:06] allu2: again better help in #ubuntustudio probably [15:06] I could be wrong [15:06] to get it back [15:06] what i have to type on command box if the sh file is in /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh ? [15:06] once you install dockbar how do you begin using it??? [15:06] ActionParsnip: kinda stupid on a laptop ;) [15:06] Jimi_neutral: maybe there is a pureftp command (or whatever server it is) to set the pass [15:07] Knofensa, type "eject". [15:07] hi , i updated my system and now i unable to close , resize or move the window [15:07] Matboy: why, its just a small pc with a built in screen... [15:07] dmdevotee: gksudo /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh [15:07] ActionParsnip, yeah it is pure....trying to find something but tbh its all gobbledygook to me still [15:07] please anyone correct me if I'm wrong [15:07] edakiri: Sorry I was disconnected ! So what should I look for in Xorg.0.log ? [15:07] looks right to me [15:07] Pranay_09: alt+f2 and run; metacity --replace [15:07] wad: thanks man! [15:07] ActionParsnip: and mostly with very valuable docs @ [15:07] ! [15:07] Knofensa, no problem. [15:08] Jimi_neutral: one way to learn [15:08] Knofensa, don't forget to run brasero first, before removing the ubutnu cd [15:08] Gnea: talking to me? [15:08] once you install dockbar how do you begin using it??? [15:08] jkd4: yeah [15:08] matboy what are you using gpg? [15:08] Matboy: that's why backup exists ;) [15:08] p1l0t: yap, standard thingy during the install [15:08] edakiri: (I was also thinking maybe if I knew what differs between gnome and failsafe gnome I would get an idea of where the issue comes form) === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [15:08] ActionParsnip, belive me, if i had the time, and i actually wanted to do this i would be reading about it but this has been forced on me just because i knew how to use clonezilla lol [15:08] ActionParsnip: or your plans are in the outside world ;) [15:08] ActionParsnip: thanks, do i have to do it everytime i boot? [15:08] jkd4: dockbar? [15:08] does anyone know of a program that will automatically organize a music collection based on tags? [15:09] jkd4, thanks!! it asks for root pass but thanks!! works!! [15:09] p1l0t: there is a onetime script ran after the install to show it to you, but I can't remember the command [15:09] wasutton3: i know easytag can rename files based on tags and viceversa fill tags based on filenames [15:09] Gnea: I just installed a theme- type thing [15:09] dmdevotee: no problem [15:09] gpg --list-keys [15:09] jkd4: ah, not familiar with that [15:10] does anyone know how to start using eyecandy/themes once you have installed them? [15:10] Any mac people around? [15:10] jkd4, if i could add this file to a "do not ask for root password" it would be the heaven [15:10] patg: :/ This is Ubuntu support, why would mac people be here. [15:10] ActionParsnip, ok, virtual users....is that the name for the users that log in to this FTP server that have not got accounts on the box that the server is on? [15:10] p1l0t: mhh no output [15:10] jkd4, if i could add this file to a "do not ask for root password" database file it would be the heaven [15:10] dmdevotee: that would be very unsecure [15:10] erUSUL: I have my own tagging system that works fine, i just need to move the files into proper folders [15:10] p1l0t: btw, it uses ecrypt by default [15:11] oh [15:11] jkd4: most themes I've used are just part of the desktop, so I just choose them from the standard theme switcher [15:11] Gnea: and where is that? [15:11] wasutton3: as i said. easytag can rename files based on tags. [15:11] hey folks. I have evolution version 2.28.1, but I don't seem to have the google calendar plugin they mention on their website. Any clues how to get it / install it / etc ? [15:11] @theadmini mean people who run ubuntu on their macs ;-) [15:11] dmdevotee: it's not asking for root password though, just yours [15:11] patg: Is your question about running Ubuntu on a Mac? [15:11] jkd4: also most 'theme' stuff is actually theme PARTS you access/select via the customize button/settings in the theme tool [15:11] @arch0njw yessiree [15:11] does anyone have any good guides on setting up vlc on a server? [15:11] gnea: but it i don't give the root pass it won't work, so it needs it, doesn't it? [15:12] Dr_Willis: where are themes? [15:12] does anyone have any good guides on setting up vlc on a server to stream? [15:12] patg: Not that I know anything, but I thought I would help clarify your inquiry for folks :) [15:12] jkd4: in the normal place? preferences->display or something like that? been awhile since I've had to access it [15:12] but if* [15:12] wasutton3: also exfalso [15:12] dmdevotee: it's sudo, not su [15:12] patg: I'd recommend just asking your question. [15:12] dmdevotee: that's why gksudo, not gksu [15:12] "apt-get update" is giving me: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4CCE4D718B8503AB [15:13] gnea: sorry i'm novice, and don't know the sudo vd su difference [15:13] dmdevotee: when you sudo a command, you're putting in YOUR password. the same concept applies to gksudo [15:13] p1l0t: if any idea pm me please :) [15:13] hello everyone! I am attempting a multi-boot configuration and needed some pointers. I have a MBP and currently a osx partition i am shrinking and a windows partition I am going to shrink after using gparted live cd. I was instructed to put Ubuntu in the middle of them, and use rEFIt after. Do I need to partition swap space or will Ubuntu installer do this for me? and do I install grub or not? [15:13] What's the magic trick to fix that? [15:13] jkd4: for gnome its the 'appearance' menu item in the system/prefs menu [15:13] wad: you are using a PPA and have not imported the keys [15:13] Gnea: Actually, gksu is a symlink or something to the gksudo [15:13] does anyone have any good guides on setting up vlc on a server to stream? [15:13] matboy: not sure what you meant by ecrypt [15:13] Chad__: you have checked the vlc homepage/docs? [15:13] arch0njw, I did "apt-get update", but that didn't help... [15:13] wad: in general, you can ignore that warning. I tend not to import the keys out of forgetfulness. [15:13] Anyone know how to find out if you are using a VGA or LDSV monitor from terminal? [15:13] wad: you have to follow specific steps to import the keys [15:13] arch0njw, okay. I'll just ignore it. [15:13] dmdevotee: ok, su is the old standard "root access" gateway. sudo is the new standard which allows the user access to root-type accesses without knowing the root password [15:14] Jimi_neutral: not sure dude. I dropped ftp ages ago. Everything is sent in plaintext including passwords [15:14] wad, http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu [15:14] Theres more to 'sudo' then just a new standard. :) but most people never use the other features [15:14] ActionParsnip:do i have to do it everytime i boot? [15:14] theadmin: hm, you're right [15:14] louhusson: I had misunderstood previously. i did not know it was failsafe gnome that worked. [15:14] ActionParsnip, tbh that is his problem, im just doing what i have been told, on another note i think i have found something but i dont quite get it [15:14] ActionParsnip, can i show it to you === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [15:15] Anyone know how to find out if you are using a VGA or LDSV monitor from terminal? ActionParsnip perhaps? [15:15] osx multiboot help? [15:15] dmdevotee: and since ubuntu doesn't have a root password set, you don't have to ever worry about knowing root's password when you just need to know your own [15:15] gnea: but in my case, there is only 1 pass, not 2 passwords for root and user [15:15] eremite: perhaps check the X log outputs to see what sort of stuff it sees.. but other then that. No idea. [15:15] Is there an elegant way to hide a particular partition from nautilus, regardless of whether it is mounted or not? [15:15] eremite: xrandr or xdpyinfo perhaps [15:15] dmdevotee: right, when it asks for a password, it's the same password you use when you login initially [15:15] eremite: theres also dvi -> vga adaptors so even then - that might not be accurate [15:16] gnea: so, the root password is secret? [15:16] dmdevotee: it's not asking for root's password [15:16] dmdevotee: there is NO root password by default [15:16] dmdevotee: yes. [15:16] dmdevotee: There is no root password. [15:16] Hi I am trying to learn basic opengl on my amd64 ubuntu karmic install with intel x3100 graphics chipset on a dell inspiron 1420 laptop... When I compile and run the application, the rendered display doesn't get synced to vblanks of my LCD, however the packaged glxgears application that came with my distro has its rendered framed synced with vblanks... am I missing something in my programming ; code is here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kNbMHWqD [15:16] hey all, installed beta 1 on a dual boot system, everything standard, on reboot, got a grub error 15, any ideas? [15:17] dmdevotee: Or, rather, password equals when hashed to "!", which makes password... well, unguessable (nothing ever hashed would turn out to be !) [15:17] edakiri: oh sorry I probably wasn't very clear. Basically I have everything working under Failsafe, I guess I could continue using it but there's probably something wrong since I cannot login normally. [15:17] what is the command to lock the screen? [15:17] jimcooncat: ctrl+alt+l [15:17] jimcooncat: Ctrl+Alt+L [15:17] theadmin: haha! :) [15:17] zamba: Err :D [15:17] Dr_Willis: this is what I'm trying to install http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DockbarX?content=101604 [15:17] no, the command, please. I want to lock the screen after this laptop auto-logs-in [15:18] jimcooncat: Hmmmm. I think it's got smth to do with Gnome-session, gotta read the mans [15:18] Wow! The new Green Tea theme is grand! [15:18] jimcooncat: gnome-screensaver-command --lock [15:18] hi, is there tool in ubuntu like system-config-network in Centos? [15:18] thanks zamba [15:18] zamba: o_O [15:18] jimcooncat: haven't tested, but try it [15:19] zamba: works for me [15:19] Usb8gb: what does it do that network manager doesn't? [15:19] zambo.com [15:19] anyone here use pureftp and can help me with authentication...i think i have found a solution but i sont understand it [15:20] how d === Tom- is now known as tomusic [15:20] how do i open a port in ubuntu 9.10? [15:20] Hello. I was logging on to SAMBA ok then all of a sudden, it seems to be refusing my login [15:20] hey all, installed beta 1 on a dual boot system, everything standard, on reboot, got a grub error 15, any ideas? this happened with 9.10 as well, 9.04 worked like a charm [15:20] smbclient -L localhost prints the mess [15:20] ameas [15:20] aarrgh,, sorry typos [15:20] jasonk: #ubuntu+1 for lucid help, but if it happens on 9.10 then... dunno. [15:21] Pranay_09: unless you have locked them down, they are open [15:21] ah, sorry, will go there [15:21] xrandr only outputs "default" and not a specific type of monitor (VGA etc) Anyone know how to tell what kind fo monitor is connected from terminal? [15:21] ActionParsnip: all ports? [15:21] jkd4: thats not a theme and there are repos for that program. [15:21] ActionParsnip: Wait what? You mean, like, everything is open? Isn't this dangerous? [15:21] Is there an elegant way to hide a particular partition from nautilus, regardless of whether it is mounted or not? [15:21] ok smbclient -L localhost returns: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.. with the right password entered [15:21] jkd4: check out the dockbarx homepage and look for 'ppa' repositories for it. [15:22] so, i could have one user with his own password and other user with his own password (both different passwords) and both are allowed to do "sudo command etc etc sucessfully"? [15:22] I asked in #samba but it's dead [15:22] no one responds [15:22] dmdevotee: Yes, but they both must be in "admin" group [15:22] DarkStar1: no one ever responds in #samba [15:22] dmdevotee: sudo allows such things.. You cold even limit specific users to ONLY specific commands they could 'sudo' [15:22] Dr_Willis: Can you give me some more info on this? [15:23] Theadmin: depends how paranoid you are. The security in the apps is great so will be fine. If you are behind a router then the fireeall there is great too. Its one reason why running your desktop as root is really really dumb [15:23] p1l0t: aye [15:23] DarkStar1: are you logging in from linux to windows or vis versa? [15:23] ActionParsnip: Desktop as root? lolwut? This would be a meh [15:23] theadmin: on sudo? theres dozens of pages the discuss its ussage. and sudo has its own homepage. [15:23] Dr_Willis: o_O [15:23] or did i get confused again. :) [15:24] Theadmin: tell that to the morons logging in as root then launching web facing apps. Go figure. Its their funeral [15:24] ActionParsnip: :D [15:24] Dr_Willis: I did use the ppa repos === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [15:25] Dr_Willis: Well, 1) What happened to sudoers.list and this admin group coming from nowhere? 2) How to limit users to specific commands? [15:25] Dr_Willis: now how do I use the dock bar? [15:25] Dr_willis: microsoft tried to patent sudo :) [15:25] jkd4: then you update/install the tool and its in the add to panel... menu items under the gnome panel settings.

[15:27] i want to write scripts to simplify my life [15:27] good idea [15:27] Hvgotcodes: sweet. They can do loads. Scripts rock [15:27] nano is neat, but not very powerful.

[15:29] ActionParsnip, when i do netstat -anp | grep 8443 i see that a process is listening on that port [15:29] for example [15:30] i want output like that, but for all ports that have processes listening [15:30] NANO> EMACS > VIM [15:31] When I apt update, it often freezes for a while on 99% - Waiting for Headers.

How can i fix it to show them on my desktop? [15:34] ActionParsnip, right, i did not see that after -a [15:34] Kcantin: why not just look at the back of the monitor?

If you need a desktop install the desktop system [15:36] ActionParsnip, ok, im new at this so you can explain it like you would to an idiot? ;) [15:36] i see : tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN [15:36] something like that [15:36] hello? [15:36] so there is no port there [15:36] need apple/ubuntu help ;-( [15:36] <__uzi> anyone know how to make rows in openoffice writer? === ryaxnb_ is now known as ryaxnb === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [15:37] hvgotcodes: true but the rfc standard says port 22. If you change it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config it will show a port number [15:37] hvgotcodes: try netstat -ant [15:37] Thanks ActionParsnip and __uzi. I want a desktop install, but with the power of the server install.... any way I can do that? [15:37] <__uzi> NathanBP: its almost the same... [15:37] anyone know how to get sound to work through hdmi? [15:37] Nathanbp: the desktop has all the power of the desktop === maciek_ is now known as Guest64205 [15:38] andrespp, close, i think -anp is better [15:38] my desktop is black and doesnt show the files i placed there anymore. when i open Desktop via "places" and "Desktop" my files are available. How can i fix it to show them on my desktop? [15:38] anyone? [15:38] -ant did not show the process [15:38] ActionParsnip: um... not sure I understand what you just said "the desktop has all the power of the desktop"? [15:38] Nathanbp: the server install doesn't come with an x server and has pae enabled by default. If you need a desktop, install the desktop system [15:39] <__uzi> NathanBP: i think he means that the desktop has all the power of the server [15:39] Nathanbp: if you install a desktop on the server it will be exactly the same as if you'd installed the desktop. You won't gain anything. Servers don't have desktops for security and to use less resources [15:40] <__uzi> how to make rows in openoffice writer? (similar to columns but horizontal) [15:40] oh, and when i power my computer down, my wallpaper is shown for a second... [15:40] its really weird [15:40] <__uzi> anyone plz help [15:40] its a fesh install, like an hour ago [15:40] 50 minutes... [15:41] Does a process (like ssh) always connect to a certain port? So does the following make sense? "the firewall has port 22 open. sshd connects to port 22"? [15:41] Thanks ActionParsnip and __uzi -- Will it install automatically with the LAMP stack? [15:41] Hvgotcodes: sshd uses 22 by default but you can change it for security [15:41] <__uzi> NathanBP: install normal desktop and use synaptics to install them [15:41] hvgotcodes: is ssh the client that connects to port 22 sshd the server is listening on it [15:42] Nathanbp: you can add lamp after you install the desktop from the repo [15:42] ActionParsnip, how would i determine the difference between port 22 is available, but a process is not using it? [15:42] would i be look for the LISTEN in the netstat -anp output? [15:42] Hvgotcodes: netstat should show it listening on its configured port [15:42] ok, how do i restart x windows? /etc/init.d/xwindowserver restart? [15:43] Tomusic: alt+k+printscreen [15:43] thanks [15:43] ActionParsnip: I'm not that good with command lines and repos yet (hence why I still need the desktop).

I saw the shares temporarily but when I tried to map them to a drive letter it refused the same password that was also allowed me to log in and browse the shares [15:53] !arista |aj [15:53] thanks guys [15:53] __uzi: so I already installed the server edition before I came here (thinking it'd have the option to include a desktop). So how do I uninstall it---or at least restore the boot sector so that it no longer loads GRUB when booting the computer? [15:53] DarkStar1: do you want the shares to have usernames and passwords?

[15:53] i need some1 [15:53] hehehe [15:53] DarkStar1: Sometimes multiple logins for the same user causes a problem with windows. Not sure why, but sometimes rebooting them fixes the problem. Not sure if thats the best option but it has worked for me.

I have a MBP and currently a osx partition i am shrinking and a windows partition I am going to shrink after using gparted live cd.

[16:05] sipior, that only tells me what the sytem call does, i'm looking for the actual source for the call [16:06] jsec: then grab the kernel sources, of course. also, the package name is "manpages-dev" (i always reverse that) [16:06] jimcooncat, i have the same issue..so i chose the unsafe route and used no password. now iam no longer bothered by nm [16:06] Master Boot Record is stored on the hardrive right... ? so if i take out hard disk 1 and insert hard disk 2.. install windows on it.. then just insert hard disk 1.. ? will that work [16:07] jsec, no actually it's frickin, no one i know actually pronounces it with the full ing at the end, and given that i'm a native speaker, it's legit for me to use colloquial expressions, i.e. leaving off the g on a word that ends with 'ing' [16:07] sipior, i have them, i just didn't want to wade through all of them to find a single system call if there was an easier way about it >_<. thanks for the help though.

[16:07] aj_, this needs a password as user will walk away and screensaver needs to kick on.

[16:07] and the sidebar [16:08] Roasted, maybe have you tried wifi radar? [16:08] jimcooncat, i see. sorry that i am unable to help further [16:09] aj_, Im using wifi radar, but its signal strength meters seem to be relatively... random. I'll be at an access point and for 10 seconds have 0% signal, then 100%, then 20%, then 0%, etc. I was looking for something a little more consistent. [16:09] Need some help with installing Windows guys.. Master Boot Record is stored on the hardrive right... ? so if i take out hard disk 1 and insert hard disk 2.. install windows on it.. then just insert hard disk 1.. ? will that work === peter is now known as Guest1188 [16:10] afaik nm needs the password to open the password storage and retrieve your credentials for wifi; I had this issue as well and the solution for me was to disable automatic login - it is less annoying that way (the initial system login unlocks the wifi password storage) [16:10] I need to find a way to get to the keyring, so I can try creating a new one.

[16:16] tahnok: i find that with 'cutting edge/brand new laoptops' its often a few months befor linux catches up to handle all the new stuff [16:16] DarkStar1: make sure you restart samba for it to take the new config. sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [16:16] Dr_Willis: The laptop runs like a charm atm, except for the bad battery [16:16] histo: your Security = share option is commented out [16:16] tahnok: and thats a VERY new cutting edge feature.

[16:17] Dr_Willis: I don't believe I have any of the nvidia drivers installed [16:17] DarkStar1: yeah it still reads it though. [16:17] rabbit1: that sounda about right.

[16:17] tahnok: i wonder if the support for the thing is part of the nvidia drivers theirselfs under windows [16:17] Dr_Willis: ?? [16:18] pragma> I don't know..I can't see you :P [16:18] xiven: what aspect of it are you wanting to audit? [16:18] I believe acpi has a command to tell a certain device to power off [16:18] rabbit1: its 1 cd. so yes. that looks right. [16:18] When i resume this laptop from suspend, the screen is black. is there a way to fix this? i'm using jaunty 9.04 [16:18] how to convert word doc to pdf? [16:18] histo: I read that it doesn't read it. the default is seucrity = users so it will act in that way [16:18] but I don't know where to look for that\ [16:18] masu..... [16:18] masu3701: there's an option in open office to save a file as a pdf [16:18] xiven: There's iotop, pstree, top, netstat, lsof… [16:18] print to file [16:18] Well, if bash finds a program which name contains 'xxxx', then it would print the location of that such program [16:18] cool [16:19] Dr_Willis: i currently in 32 bit hardy, thinking of lucid 64 bit in future, so before, shall i change to 64 bit hardy ? [16:19] masu3701, I want to convert a whole bunch of files in a folder, but how do you write that exactly, anyone! [16:19] are you using openoffice?? [16:19] tahnok: and that file cant be modify? [16:19] histo: replacing the conf file hasn't helped at all [16:19] rabbit1: if i can run 64bit on a machine i Alwaays run 64bit... [16:19] it refuses any authentication [16:19] hey [16:19] rabbit1: i dont see muchj need to stick with 32bit on a machine that can do 64bit [16:19] masu3701: it's a pdf file, so if you have software that edits pdf it should work [16:19] darkstar1: i hope you're restarting smbd after updating your conf? [16:19] Dr_Willis: s i can (AMD 64bit) [16:19] brummbaer: yes! [16:19] anyone know anything about acpi? [16:20] darkstar1: just checkin' ;) [16:20] brummbaer: I actually stopped then started it [16:20] brummbaer: think I'll just uninstall and re-install samba [16:20] xiven, I don't know maybe this is what you need " find ./ | grep 'xxx' " [16:20] tahnok: i know its the kind of system that new hardware often has issues with untill kernel patches/fix's/drivers catch up :) [16:20] Dr_Willis: my ques is shall i straight install lucid 64 or shall i install 64 hardy then upgrade ? [16:20] someone knows why my router automatically opens port 30,005, but it reset to factory defaults, the UPnP is turned off? [16:20] darkstar1, 's an option... [16:20] tahnok: i will send the doc through email and didnt want it to be modify..thats why i was thinking about putin in pdf [16:20] darkstar1: be sure to purge though if you want to reset config [16:20] well nothing seems to work [16:20] rabbit1: lucid will be relesaed in a few weeks.. so wait.. or not.. its your choice.. [16:21] wolfeyes, imagemagic is a very complex (but well documented) software. they have a good user community, you might have better luck asking at their forums [16:21] Dr_Willis: apparently there's work being done with a vga_switcharoo that let's you switch on the fly [16:21] brummbaer: purge what? [16:21] when you remove [16:21] tahnok: yep. thats a good sign at least. [16:21] masu3701: then pdf is a good choice [16:21] aj_, and where do I find that please? [16:21] tahnok: ive had very weird issues with 'new' laptops and linux in the past. [16:21] how do i mount a internal dvd burning device? [16:21] olaaa [16:22] waroooo [16:22] tahnok: but you said someone can still modify it? is there a way to lock it so it cant be modify? [16:22] wolfeyes, http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/ [16:22] ty aj_ , going to look [16:22] masu3701: probably, but if it's a pdf they will have a lot of trouble modifying it [16:22] whats the package to use to install slocate? [16:23] !fins slocate [16:23] !find slocate [16:23] ok [16:23] Darkfoe, there is a GUI tool named " brasero " can burn CD/DVD.

[16:23] it doesnt work for me [16:23] how do i mount a internal dvd burning device? [16:24] says slocate unknown command [16:24] HI all, how do I set it so that ftp users can upload to pureftp as well as download. For some reason I an download from the folder I am connected to but I cannot upload to it [16:24] locate - is usesd to 'find' programs/files.. not sure about slocate [16:24] histo: my smbusers file only has 2 lines. one for root and one for nobody. should it also reflect the permited users listed under 'valid users' in the shares? [16:24] Hi there! [16:25] No command 'slocate' found, did you mean: === cnc is now known as kent_cnc [16:25] Miguelanxo: what's your dumb question?

[16:26] what he said [16:26] ok ta [16:26] oh that was you :) [16:27] Miguelanxo: you could blacklist the module for the other NIC. but does it really matter? I recall some forum/wiki pages also on moveing eth0 and eth1 around. but ive never had to mess with it much [16:27] odemux686, sorry typo *MS Windows === _silentAssassin is now known as animAgus [16:27] Another quick question is there a way to display users and the ip they're connecting from on the system? [16:27] Can I run multiple versions of php, depending on the vhost?

I am logged in via SSH from another machine] [16:28] Hey all, has anyone ever worked with Gizmod? [16:29] tahnok: so what would be the option in openoffice to save doc to pfd? [16:29] aj_: yes, but not now [16:29] i dont see it [16:29] it's under file [16:29] masu3701: open as a doc, then go file > export as pdf? [16:30] hh [16:30] masu3701, isnt there a logo of pdf visible click it [16:30] odemux686, it might be infected with trojan virus : http://www.speedguide.net/port.php?port=30005 [16:30] Dr_Willis: is this normal to be listed 3 times instead of twice in this scenario? [16:30] DarkStar1: sounds about right [16:30] Has anyone here ever worked with Gizmod? I'm trying to get a gaming peripheral working but I'm having trouble writing the Python script. [16:30] DarkStar1: subshells often get counted [16:31] Is there any way to see when an updated package was created and added to the repos? The one I'm interested in is cups (1.3.9-17ubuntu3.7) for Jaunty. I ask because I have a bug filed against cups and am wondering if it was made before or after my filed bug and might be a possible fix. [16:31] done! [16:31] aj_, ty but still a bit rusty on how to write those commands, will keep looking [16:31] anyone have any idea why i can download from my ftp server but not upload...im using pureftp [16:32] Having sound issues it plays for a bit then stop and start making a poping cracking noise [16:32] wolfeyes, there might be a GUI frontend or something out there maybe keep searching. good luck :) [16:32] Will the Remote Desktop tool in Linux work together with the Remote assistance stuff in Windows [16:32] I mean, can it connect to a Windows machine for provide assistance?

[17:09] arunbabu, oh, you have to do fdisk /dev/sda or what ever your situation is, mount should tell you. And then when fdisk is running, type p, and it will print the partition table [17:09] Myrtti: to install windows off the usb:) [17:09] out :p [17:09] Mkools: some administrators don't like folks running services like dhcp on their network. this is a set of machines in a lab, or something like that? [17:09] arunbabu, once it prints the one that is formatted ntfs will be your windows partition [17:10] LekeFly: the last I checked this was a Ubuntu support channel.

[17:14] jimcooncat, wow, I never experienced anything like that on a linux system before [17:14] sipior - but if your gardening question had something to do with a possible ubuntu misconfig then i would understand [17:14] if I just press up several times, the top one is sure to be highlighted.

[17:15] tp43_: sarcasm, or you haven't dealt with crappy ajax apps hanging stuff up? [17:15] spazic: fair enough. but you don't really believe that that is the problem. [17:15] arunbabu, well then do mount first to see what your harddrives are named [17:15] tp43_: i think its ok now [17:16] jimcooncat, no serious, I have never had that happen to me, when I log out, firefox has never hanged, it just shutdown [17:16] jimcooncat, I am guessing, I never used ajax I guess [17:16] Mkools: what are you trying to do here, exactly? if your two machines are already connected to your campus network, what are you using dhcp for?

(not port forwarding), from the Host --> Guest. I can ssh from Guest --> host but not the other way around [17:20] arunbabu, yeah, that what you gotta do, but you better find a how to and follow the directions. Roughly, you have to edit the boot menu file, and add the Windows OS, and then run update grub program. I don't know the specifics cause I never did it in ages, plus the file names have changed. But you easily find one, google it [17:20] question, I want my ubuntu karmic box to enable LAN at boot (before login). Any idea where to find info on this? most of my searches pull up WLAN and network boot stuff. [17:20] faizhum: Type /msg nickserv help register and read [17:21] guys when i do an ls in a directory there are files and there are 4 different colours. how am i to know the different types of files just by their colour [17:21] theadmin: how did you got it ?

Anyone know what it is called now if there is one [17:25] theadmin, do you have a cd burner? [17:26] tp43_: Obviously, copying now. [17:26] 30BAAEHGR: ALT+F2 and type hardinfo [17:26] 30BAAEHGR: then hit enter [17:26] tp43_: I just was wondering whether there is any.. DRM or something preventing that.

[17:27] tp43_: Using Brasero to burn [17:27] I had a problem installing ubuntu 9.10 on Vista using Wubi (permission denied). I researched that somehow I need to place the wubi.exe and iso in a same folder to correct? [17:27] tp43_: Whatever, it works now. [17:27] z0man: Yup [17:27] anyone to help me out?

[17:28] i just installed swiftfox in my ubuntu desktop. now when i try to open swiftfox , firefox itself is opening. Is swiftfox like an addon to firefox ? [17:28] z0man: You need to run wubi.exe as admin, too (right click - Run as Admininstrator) [17:28] theadmin, is brazero better than gnomebaker? [17:28] arunbabu: no. its separate web broswer [17:28] I done that with the burned Ubuntu CD :/ === dashavoo_ is now known as dashavoo [17:28] I wished I had some work to do on my laptop [17:28] ok will try with iso image :) [17:28] abhi_nav: but swiftfox is not opening.

[17:29] fyurfawkz [17:29] arunbabu: Are you from India? [17:29] arunbabu: no. but you try their web site, wiki, etc first [17:29] cyber-life: yeah [17:29] yes but running wubi.exe as admin from it, came with permission denied. [17:30] arunbabu: Great!

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:32] but it was not auto launching vpn [17:33] ysis: for the kernel parameters, you need to edit /etc/default/grub and add or change the value of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and run sudo update-grub; [17:33] Roasted, iwlist === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [17:33] how can I determine what version a driver module is?

[17:35] how about using /etc/ [17:35] Roasted, whats wrong with wifi-radar [17:35] tp43_, its good, but it doesnt allow me to use wired AND wireless connections at the same time, which I like to use, so I tend to use network manager instead. however, network manager is starting to irritate me, because theres an access point above my head yet I have 20% signal === bot_ is now known as n1b [17:35] faizhum, you are trying to set up a vpn? [17:35] any comments on adding a script under /etc/network/if-up.d [17:36] tp43_, wifi radar is very inconsistent with its signal strength it displays. I want to find a reliable app so I can tell exactly where weak spots are with wireless in our schools. wifi radar bounces around a lot. 75%, 0%, 25%, etc. I have a hard time really trusting it. [17:36] Roasted, what percent do you get from the network over you head with wifi-radar [17:36] tp43_: I have a vpn already setup...but unfortunately...i have manully connect to VPN after the wireless connection is successful [17:36] hi [17:36] tp43_, 50% [17:36] and then run sshfs to mount my office unix directory in my laptop [17:37] thanks for your support theadmin [17:37] Roasted, that wierd, 20 and 50 %, big difference [17:37] tp43_:I need some help to set this up automatically [17:37] anyone setup ubuntu 9.10 on raid10?

Maybe there is a howto, or someone else knows [17:38] tp43_, I know. wifi radar bounces a lot, sometimest to 0%, then back up to 50 or 75%. its kind of random. [17:38] trism: Thanks.

[18:29] iustinian: when i added the nameserver to my resolv.conf file, it does not stay put, it reverts after reboot [18:29] iustinian: basically, I think that error is causing drupal to give me "Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)." [18:29] LoganPhyve: you can add it in both locations if you want but better add it to your resolv.conf [18:30] and /mnt/backup directory [18:30] dabukalam: i think it is related to mysql config [18:30] lind_: both /var/spool/mail and /mnt/backup exist [18:31] iustinian: i've added to resolv.conf but it does not save changes after reboot [18:31] dabukalam: try to configure it to go through an ip address not a socket [18:31] I would be terribly happy, if someone could help me tell Ubuntu that I want to have a resolution of 1440x900@75, because that is the native resolution on the flat monitor I am using.

In all case I cannot ssh into the machine, nor ssh to localhost [19:55] Myrtti: do you mean cached password?

Does it mean I have to buy a better video card, or it could be something else too. my ram - 1gb and cpu 1ghz [19:59] Can anyone help me install Rhythmbox plugins? [19:59] <[[thufir]]> current state is that fedora 5 is there, as is xp. I want to replace fedora 5 with ubuntu. [20:00] hello, I seemed to have removed my volume control applet from the notification area and can't get it back === Guest37907 is now known as Orion7 [20:00] user___: sigh [20:00] <[[thufir]]> ChogyDan: not sure why windows is at end, I can go back a step. However, I think that's how it's arranged so far. [20:00] [[thufir]]: well, I don't think it is a very good layout, since you might have problems. But since you seem to be ok, why not? right? [20:00] what should we do when we buzz-off the grub using any window formatting session? [20:01] <[[thufir]]> ok, what kind of problems and why? because windows is last? that relates to the MBR? [20:01] [[thufir]]: yes, that is one issue. The other issue is that your /home is tiny. That is where all your personal files go [20:01] hi [20:01] [[thufir]]: the reason we ask is because usually windows is in the first partition, and sometimes will only work if it's there. If you've moved it, you can expect problems. If, on the other hand, it's always been there, you're probably ok. [20:01] Guest37907 right click on the panel, add to panel > notification earea [20:02] meganiko I have my notification area and there is no volume control listed under add to panel either [20:02] I need to backup my whole hdd cause I'm going to change the file system and such. Can anyone help? [20:02] Neon0Blue: backups are good. Where are you going to store the data? [20:02] External HDD for a while. [20:03] <[[thufir]]> ok. I made pastebin: http://pastebin.com/NyNkp21A how about the fact that the sda4, windows, has a boot of /windows. I added that, is that correct? [20:03] Orion7: the volume control is not a stanalone applet. It should appear in the notification area. [20:03] !backups | Neon0Blue [20:03] Neon0Blue: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [20:03] anyone know a way to make the build button in eclipse automatically save all open files? [20:03] <[[thufir]]> pardon, I mean that I made a mount point of /windows for the xp partition. [20:03] Can anyone recommend a simple beginners guide for installing unix software? I'm confused by all the makefiles and command line scripts. [20:03] meganiko odd, it was related to when I was messing around with pulseaudio. I have pulseaudio working fine but no sound control. let me try removing the notification area and then putting it back [20:04] joe____: what are you trying to install? [20:04] guys what are the green files in the in the /directory listing [20:04] jimcooncat: you were the one i talked to about the 2tb drive right? [20:04] what do %S and %s resolve to in samba?? [20:04] x-chat [20:05] meganiko no luck [20:05] joe____: sudo apt-get install xchat [20:05] I believe so, I looked up that USB id that you sent [20:05] [[thufir]]: that isn't "correct" in that you don't need that, but having it will allow you to access your windows drive. You could name it anything [20:05] ************************************************************************ [20:05] woopi [20:05] anyone? [20:05] if HD quality video playback and playback of videos on youtube is laggish. Does it mean I have to buy a better video card, or it could be something else too. my ram - 1gb and cpu 1ghz [20:05] joe____: use repos when you can, thats the easy way [20:05] ? [20:05] Thanks brontosaurusrex. I'll do that [20:05] does the "disable trackpad when typing" work right in karmic? [20:05] Kito: please don't [20:05] jimcooncat: well the usb dock is fine, i just tested it with another sata drive and it was fine [20:06] guntbert: was done by mistake [20:06] Kito: :) [20:06] jimcooncat: so then i put the 2tb drive in the computer and now gparted recognizes it. but i went to format it and it's taking quite a long time, still not done [20:06] <[[thufir]]> ChogyDan: ok, so adding that as a mountpoint only really effects teh fstab file, doesn't really write to that partition, if I understand your point. [20:06] [[thufir]]: the question is, where was your windows partition before you decided to rearrange things...? [20:06] anyone? [20:06] <[[thufir]]> Losha: thanks for reminding me, I'll go back a step to make sure it was at sda4 to begin with. [20:07] blakkheim: if you didn't partition it, ext3 would take a long time [20:07] jimcooncat: what would you suggest instead of ext3? (and why does it take so long specifically?) [20:07] DarkStar1: This is in the smb.conf man page. %S is the current service, %s is the name of the file containing a winpopup message. [20:07] orion7: really, it just doesn't show? weird. idk then, if i were you i'd reboot, but perhaps someone else can help you better. Sorry. [20:07] [[thufir]]: Also, you have 70G allocated to windows, and only 106M to /home. I think you need to start over... [20:08] meganiko thanks for your help I'll go to the forums [20:08] DarkStar1: To find this stuff in the man page, "man smb.conf" and then hit slash (/) and type %s or %S and keep hitting "n" to move to each instance where it appears. [20:08] jimcooncat: also (it just finished) now it says 25gb of it is in use, what's up with that? [20:08] blakkheim: I wouldn't suggest anything different. ext3 goes through your hd. reiserfs, for example, would format it in seconds -- but you still would have to run badblocks [20:09] blakkheim: perhaps it carved out the 25 gb for the journal? [20:09] gdb: thanks [20:09] jimcooncat: ouch, so that's normal? [20:09] It's probably 25GB worth of inodes at a 4k block size. [20:09] blakkheim: it's been a while since I've been into that, I'm rusty [20:09] <[[thufir]]> Losha: not too worried about space, just want to leave windows intact. it's ok that no partition is marked /boot? [20:10] gdb, I bet you're right about the inodes [20:10] jimcooncat: gdb: alright, i'll see if everything's working and come back if i have any more problems, thanks [20:10] jimcooncat: for maximum compatibility i.e. moving it to different systems, or using 3rd party tools on it (e.g. recovery) you want ext3... [20:11] Losha: I'm not suggesting anything else, merely giving an example [20:11] [[thufir]]: not only do you need to conserve the windows partition, you need to keep it in the same place on the disk as it was originally or it may not boot. Also, it's ok on modern linuxes not to have a separate /boot. [20:11] How do I open a remote XP machine's desktop on my Ubuntu machine in a window of its own? [20:11] [[thufir]]: yeah, that's fine [20:11] jimcooncat: I see... [20:12] Ascavasaion: Look into using tsclient. It's a frontend for rdesktop. [20:12] Losha: lots of people used to use reiserfs years back, but didn't check with badblocks, and got burned by it [20:12] Ascavasaion: if it's XP pro, you can enable remote desktop and use 'rdesktop' on Ubuntu to connect... [20:12] <[[thufir]]> Losha: thanks.] [20:12] Ascavasaion: It's probably already installed under Applications > Internet [20:12] Ascavasaion: applications/internet/terminal server client [20:12] <[[thufir]]> ChogyDan: thanks. [20:12] what guntbert said heh [20:13] thanks all of you. [20:13] jimcooncat: reiserfs is as dead as Han's wife... [20:13] guys I need to run the command to disply my ecrypt key for my homedir [20:13] <[[thufir]]> (oh, I checked. windows was already on sda4 for whatever reason.) [20:14] [[thufir]]: that's quite unusual, but not impossible. What else was on that disk originally? [20:14] Losha: nah, the tech is still good *for very special uses*, and kernel devs are still maintaining it. But good docs on it are harder to find, and you need to RTFM on that one. [20:15] I got ubuntu to boot sucessfully again, but the boot animation is gone. How do i fix that? [20:15] <[[thufir]]> Losha: it is currently set as duall boot fedora 5 and windows xp. [20:15] Anyone get emacs-w3m working on with emacs23 on Ubuntu 9.10? [20:15] MatBoy: you will find nearly everything about encrypted home directories in http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html [20:15] jimcooncat: oh, I expected it would disappear entirely as ext4 catches on... [20:16] underdev: you have 3 options: upgrade emacs22, force install emacs-w3m and hope that it works, or look on the web for a version known to work with emacs22 and install it by hand. Or switch to vi :-) [20:16] guntbert: but not that command that is ran after your install to show your key [20:16] This is seriously a deal breaker for me in 9.10... There MUST be a way to permanently hide the last gnome panel without losing my alt+f1 and alt+f2 functionality [20:16] Losha: nothing is a good on maildirs IMHO, but that is a dying use case. [20:16] resiser will likely be around until btrfs is "stable" [20:16] Question: I accepted a patch this morning but would likel to see the changelog - is there a place ubuntu has these listed (the package is samba) [20:17] ext4 isn't really a replacement for it [20:17] Is it possible to change from a desktop linux kernel to a server linux kernel ? and how ? :P [20:17] I DO NOT want to see that tiny empty bar sitting on my screen for no reason... seriously [20:17] Gadu: hide != eliminate [20:17] [[thufir]]: ok, so how were the fedora 5 partition laid out on the disk? [20:17] Losha: "as good" I meant [20:17] please help! ubuntu 8.04.4 after installing ati driver and ati control center i don't see my mouse, it's working but i don't see cursor. what i must do? sorry for my english === schgoddi1 is now known as schgoddie [20:17] My VPS provider has a default linux kernel thats not supported by ksplice :( [20:17] <[[thufir]]> Losha: same partitioning, except I updated from ext2 to ext3 and set the mount points. [20:17] xangau: I used to be able to hide said panel with monitor=3 in gconf-editor for that panel [20:17] Losha: what do you mean "upgrade 22" [20:17] jimcooncat: got it. As you say, if not a dying case, certainly a special use case... [20:17] <[[thufir]]> my partitioning message: http://pastebin.com/jrFw57CS [20:17] Wiebe: most vps providers suck [20:18] Losha: i'm at emacs 23 [20:18] xangau: this doesn't work in 9.10 and I cannot accept it [20:18] salve a tutti [20:18] [[thufir]]: why is /home so tiny? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [20:18] Gadu: if you just hide the panel you can perfectly use the menu and launcher (alt+f1 alt+f2) [20:18] MatBoy the amazon ec2 image gets installed by them by default :/ [20:18] It's really irritating having to restart firefox sometimes to watch flash videos. I can't be the only one suffering from this. [20:18] underdev: oh, didn't your first msg ask about emacs22? I missed the change... [20:18] please help! ubuntu 8.04.4 after installing ati driver and ati control center i don't see my mouse, it's working but i don't see cursor. what i must do? sorry for my english [20:18] mawst: make sure you have the newest version of flash [20:19] <[[thufir]]> Losha: that partition was there, so I figured it must be home. I was hesitant to resize any partitions. it doesn't have to be usable, just, err, bootable. [20:19] orloff: what is your native language? [20:19] mawst: no, you're not. It's because flash crashes and firefox can't recover from it crashing gracefully. [20:19] hello [20:19] russian [20:19] MatBoy: sure - there are three pages [20:19] !ru | orloff [20:19] orloff: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:19] <[[thufir]]> mawst: that doesn't effect me, but I use flashgot and download helper. [20:19] startupmanager is not showing options for usplash [20:19] mawst: chrome/chromium has a bit more elegant way of recovering from the crashes, but it doesn't remove the problem. [20:19] [[thufir]]: no, $20 says it was /boot (because of the tiny size). Where was /home ? [20:19] guntbert: ok, thanks for the link [20:19] Wiebe: these comapnies are too huge [20:20] i don't wanna to register my nik [20:20] MatBoy: you're welcome :-) [20:20] !nickserv > orloff [20:20] Wiebe: and the smaller ones that are no flexible suck too [20:20] I may reinstall chrome and give that a go. [20:20] ChogyDan: you still following this conversation? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [20:20] guntbert: wow, when can I visit you ? [20:20] Losha: no, I hadn't [20:20] <[[thufir]]> Losha: ahhhh, that makes sense. so, I need to change that. since /boot isn't needed (?) either merge it with the root partition, or make it larger at expense of root partition. yes? [20:21] not really sure what is going on.. Cant get usplash back [20:21] ChogyDan: ok, never mind. Its just that I love 2nd opinions [20:21] im really at a loss here, how can i even begin to debug an ubuntu issue if it wont even log into recovery mode? [20:21] Hi all - I have Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an Asus 1005PE - works great except the brightness doesn't stay set; anyone know of a fix? [20:21] All the information I am finding is regarding grub 1 [20:21] xangua: I want the panel to be completely gone. it shouldn't even show up when my mouse goes over where ever it is hidden [20:21] xangua: moving it to a non-existent monitor was the perfect solution prior to 9.10.... [20:22] [[thufir]]: none of those are worth bothering with as it's so tiny, just leave it as /boot. I repeat: what happened to /home? [20:22] !register | orloff [20:22] orloff: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [20:22] <[[thufir]]> Losha: the fedora install never had a seperate /home, I'd have to create that. [20:22] Gadu: You can't right click the panel and click "Remove Panel"? Is that not an available option? [20:23] Gadu: you can use 'ocult buttons' [20:23] Kito: please don't PM me. Ask your questions here in the main channel... [20:23] бу [20:23] sorry [20:23] Losha: I agree that that small partition was probably /boot. I would guess that /home was just part of / [20:23] the white ones are binaryfiles, the blue ones are folders what are the green and red, green syslink ? [20:23] [[thufir]]: was there nothing interesting in /home that you need to preserve? That's usually where users keep all their personal files... [20:23] <[[thufir]]> ok, this makes more sense, guys. should I leave /boot alone as ext2 for safety? [20:23] ShackJack: yes I fixed that on my netbook as well, let me boot it up to get the settings for you [20:24] <[[thufir]]> no, no personal data on the fedora partitions that needs to be kept. [20:24] [[thufir]]: ext2 or ext3 is fine. I would move it to ext3, but it's not very important... [20:24] gdb: you can't do that on the last panel [20:24] <[[thufir]]> I'll leave it, and not create a /home. makes more sense now. [20:24] Gadu: Thanks - I may have found it just now; while looking something to do with editing GRUB? [20:24] please help! ubuntu 8.04.4 after installing ati driver and ati control center i don't see my mouse, it's working but i don't see cursor. what i must do? I DON'T WANNA register my nikname cause without mouse it's difficult to me [20:24] sine`: in terminal? [20:24] [[thufir]]: that last thing you said means you need to change what you are doing. You can't format if that is what you want [20:25] xangua: what is ocult buttons? (looks it up) [20:25] Hey guys.. Im wondering.. I heard about using VMWare to use ubuntu inside windows. - I should be able to run it dual monitor mode? windows on one monitor and linux on the other? can UBuntu do the same stuff as it could if it was installed to the hard drive?? [20:25] hi all [20:25] Gadu: I'm curious, is a desktop really what you need then? Have you considered just using a plan jane window manager instead? [20:25] gdb: I use cairo-dock instead of a panel [20:25] Ah! [20:25] If I have an Intel i5 processor, should I install Ubuntu 64-bit? [20:25] Hey all, I'm new to using ubuntu (yeah, sorry) and I am hitting some problems with the CLI. I'm trying to run a Call of Duty 4 dedicated server, and i'm trying to run a file in the directory.. but it keeps giving me a "no such file or directory". I have made it work on a vmware machine, but I can't make it work on my own machine [20:26] [[thufir]]: ok, then you are ready to go. If you need more /home space later, you can shrink the windows partition and expand / into the space [20:26] Gadu: don't really know how are they called in inglish :S (right clic in panel> select properties> general> show hide buttons maybe¿ [20:26] @DrDank You can do it, it's pretty resource intensive, and it's not just a drag and drop Window. [20:26] [[thufir]]: I have to leave in 5 minutes. Best of luck... [20:26] JustinD, So what I need is VMWare player to be installed and the ubuntu iso right? [20:26] <[[thufir]]> Losha: thanks, np. [20:26] how can i see my cursor again??? [20:26] Gadu: http://img56.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stiscreenshot.png [20:26] please help [20:27] ShackJack: Power Management, On AC Power: uncheck Dim display when idle and Set display brightness to: your desired brightness [20:27] <[[thufir]]> ChogyDan: thank you. I'm proceeding fairly confident now :) [20:27] @DrDank I'm a VMware ESX admin, I don't use most of the other versions, lemme check. [20:27] orloff: do you have compiz on¿ [20:27] [[thufir]]: one last thing, make a backup of the windows partition if you can, in case the unthinkable happens... [20:27] ShackJack: then in On Battery Power, uncheck Reduce backlight brightness and Dim display when idle [20:27] that is it? soory [20:27] [[thufir]]: ok. Keep in mind that any partition that is formatted will lose all its data [20:27] sorry [20:27] Bubbi: first idea: how did you call that program? remember that the current directory is not in the search path [20:28] JustinD, cool man.. I appricate it. Think I could run smoothly with 2.8ghz and 2gig ram? [20:28] <[[thufir]]> ChogyDan: yes. oh, at the "advanced" portion prior to format, should I install a boot loader to a partition? sda4 for windows xp? [20:28] guntbert: I am inside the directory and write: ./cod4_lnxded [20:28] xangua: that is by no means permanent, I don't want any bit of the last panel to ever show [20:28] something ive done has killed my machine, its either me changing telinit to 3 or update-rc.d -f gdm remove [20:28] Gadu - thanks - will take a look - though the issue also is that the brightness is incosistent when adjusting via KB - do you know if it fixes that issue as well (just want to say I think Empathy sucks BTW - going back to Pidgin - bleh) [20:28] @DrDank: I'd use the VMware Workstation software on a windows box. that'll let you create a vmdk (virtual harddrive) on your windows machine, and install an OS. [20:28] guntbert: How do you mean that the directory is not in the search path? [20:29] hello [20:29] [[thufir]]: what do you mean "sda4 for windows xp?" [20:29] how do I force change of refresh rate of one of my monitors out of my 2? [20:29] hi === rew\ is now known as rew [20:29] <[[thufir]]> yes. options are sda, sda1...sda4. sda4 is the windows xp partition. should a bootloader be installed to any of those? [20:30] ShackJack: I must agree with the Empathy sucks comment, I also put pidgin back XD. I'm not very good with acronyms, what is KB? [20:30] [[thufir]]: no, you need to have a boot loader on sda. Those option are if you already have one on sda, and want to configure and use that one [20:30] Bubbi: you called it correctly (I meant you have to tell the bash to look in the current directory) , please try (to prevent typos) ./cod [20:30] okay guys, one more weird one for you.... got my ubuntu box connected to the network.. set up for DHCP. I get an address no problem from DHCP server.. but no network communication is possible. Pings in either direction don't work.. can't connect to apache running on the machine.. or SSH for that matter. But statically configuring the interface works [20:30] Gadu: sorry - keyboard - the birghtness adjusts randomly when I do it via keyboard [20:31] <[[thufir]]> ChogyDan: ok, thanks. [20:31] I select a boot option (any kernel) and after a while it sends me to a "gave up waiting for root device" message and shell [20:31] tried messing around with rootdelay to no avail [20:31] Gadu: forgot to add - then goes to full brightness on it's own... [20:31] guntbert: When I type ./cod it finishes the filename correctly, so that it is ready to be executed [20:31] ok ive booted my machine from cd, as the ubuntu on the computer wont boot, can i fix it from here? [20:31] anybody!!! after installing ati control center and driver my mouse is dead [20:31] Bubbi: and when you press ? [20:31] Also tried using absolute path to root instead of the uuid, nothing as well [20:32] ShackJack: my setting changes fix the full brightness issue. I never had the random brightness with buttons issue [20:32] what would be good tool for creating and managing raid array? Gui would be great. [20:32] guntbert: Then it gives me this message: -bash: ./cod4_lnxded: No such file or directory [20:32] guntbert: Should I do something to add it to the search path.? [20:32] ShackJack: then again, I set my desired brightness in the power management so I rarely need to change it (once a month maybe?) [20:33] Gadu: Thanks - I'll see if it works - good so far; saw another thread suggesting to make a grub update but will try first... And I'm off to install Pidggin RIGHT NOW - BYE BYE empathy :P [20:33] I have 2 disks I have introduced into my box.. I have prepared them to be software raided but they don't have a filesystem on them as yet [20:33] DEATH TO EMPATHY!!! [20:33] Bubbi: no, that should be ok [20:33] XD [20:33] can someone point me to a guide on how to introduce disks after installation? [20:33] nobody helps me?(((((( [20:33] any ideas on the GRUB problem? [20:33] Gadu: plz to keep it topical. [20:33] i know the feeling === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [20:34] Bubbi: what gives ls -l ? [20:34] user___: I would think that telinit wouldn't be able to mess things up like that [20:34] KB1JWQ: I was replying to ShackJack [20:34] Gadu: Doh, sorry. [20:34] !fstab | andywww [20:34] andywww: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[20:35] which option have i to use to send a mail on bash [20:36] rethus1: there are many options [20:36] Bubbi: strange - is that file a script? then it could be a file called from within that is not found [20:36] argued: please state your problem, and all in one line [20:36] rethus1: do you just want to send mail and not receive? [20:36] rethus1: mail -s "subject" user@host < file [20:36] rethus1: file needs to be text [20:36] thanks gdb, but can i also attach the file... this would insert the text in the mailbotdy ?! [20:36] gdb: that doesn't work on a default install I believe [20:37] ChogyDan, thanks [20:37] rethus1: you need to install a mta I would suggest ssmtp if you don't need a full blown mail server. [20:37] !info ssmtp | rethus1 [20:37] guntbert: It's a binary file, as far as I know.. I can execute it on my VMWare ubuntu, but not on my "real" ubuntu system.. very weird.

Tried messing around with rootdelay and using absolute paths to root instead of uuid but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? [20:38] Zeratul2k2: has it ever worked? [20:38] guntbert: When I execute it in my VM, then it actually runs and give me alot of feedback, but on the real machine, it just throws that error [20:38] @histo: yes, it was working well until last saturday, when I last rebooted it [20:38] histo: even with an mta installed, "mail" cannot send attachments [20:38] rethus1: use uuencode to encode and embed your attachment into the mailbody [20:39] Bubbi: (I'm fishing for ideas) - what gives file ? [20:39] ChogyDan: sonata, guadayeque and other applications wont start in GUI, I get "received an X Window System error" and nothing happens [20:39] llutz: ok. thanks [20:39] other question... i have forgot my local mysql password. how can i reset it [20:39] rethus1: look here http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/2325-email-attachment-message-using-mailx.html [20:39] rethus1: you can use ssmtp and mutt [20:40] ChogyDan, perhaps update-rc.d -f gdm remove? although that should have just prevent gnome from starting [20:40] guntbert: You are more than welcome to fish all you like :-) It gives this: cod4_lnxded: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.18, stripped [20:40] llutz: yes it can with mut [20:40] histo: read what i wrote [20:40] Bubbi: and is your system 32bit? [20:40] guntbert: Good question my man.. how do I test for that..? [20:41] ello [20:41] Bubbi: what gives uname -a ? [20:41] how can i change the permisions of a folder/files on a samba share (setup on a ubuntu computer) that was created from a windows computer? [20:41] guntbert: it gives me this: Linux vserver1 2.6.31-14-server #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 15:07:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [20:41] so, any ideas? [20:42] it gives me permission denied, and i need to delete them [20:42] user___: sorry, I really don't know anything more [20:42] guntbert: And i've just tried it on the vmware also, it gives me this: Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [20:42] argued: I don't know, sonata works for me [20:42] Bubbi: there you are: x86_64 means it is a 64bit OS - you need the 64 bit version then [20:43] guntbert: As far as I can see, both systems are 64bit :S [20:43] ChogyDan: It does work for for may ppl yes and I would like to join that group... damn - this one is hard to figure out since I dont know where to start [20:44] I'm trying to connect my laptop running 9.10 to the Internet through my HTC Hero, currently using USB cable, but I've also tried Bluetooth [20:44] I am trying to start a new X server, when I go to command line (cntrl-alt-f2) and xinit -- :3 I get what I want (nvidia settings are loaded), when I try to do this from a script (X :3 -ac & nvidia-settings --load-config-only, nvidia complains that there is no active screen) [20:44] how can i change the permissions on a shared samba folder on ubuntu? [20:44] in neither case, I get the promised wizard [20:44] it was created from windows [20:44] Bubbi: unbelievable :-) -- why it executes in the VM? - but it seems I'm out of ideas (except you try to get a 64bit version of your server) [20:44] argued: if this is a fresh install, file a bug report [20:45] also, the "Mobile broadband" tab is disabled (grey) in the plasma app [20:45] is there a recovery disk for ubuntu? [20:45] ChogyDan: nothing fresh here ;P ugly hacks all over the system [20:45] guntbert: I'm really puzzled.. I can see that there is a difference in the version of linux, but other than that - i'm all out of ideas myself :D [20:45] guntbert: what does this mean? desktop 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [20:45] help, please! how can i change the permissions on a samba share's folder?

Tried messing around with rootdelay and using absolute paths to root instead of uuid but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? It was booting up normally before today. [20:47] KjetilK, dont know, on gnome, that wizard shows up or else on the panel you can configure 'mobile broadband' [20:47] guntbert, the recovery mod doesnt boot either, im in the live cd at the moment but i dont think i can ru nthe command i need from here [20:48] guntbert, come to think of it, I never figured out how to avoid the splash screen, that hides most of the bootup sequence... [20:48] mkanyicy, ok, I'll try over there [20:48] Zeratul2k2, using grub2? [20:48] could anyone tell me where I can look to find a way to get a display on the ubuntu desktop that shows things like your processor, memory, swap and hard drive use, cpu temperature, etc.?

[20:50] gutbert, i think my problem was caused by running the command "update-rd.d -f gdm remove". so i would like to run "update-rd.d - gdm install" [20:50] Orion7: have you tried pidgin? [20:50] can you run xinit from already running X server [20:50] yea pidgin & xchat are far better [20:50] ab3: yes [20:50] for IRC anyways [20:51] ab3: oh wait [20:51] Orion7, pidgin does beat empathy imo for most things [20:51] !tab | user___ [20:51] user___: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[20:52] ahh xchat, so much better [20:52] Zeratul2k2, did it ever worked before? [20:52] Zeratul2k2, not even once? [20:52] mkanyicy: yes, it was working perfectly before today [20:52] brent_, than? [20:52] I've a system without X windows here. How is it possible to mount my SD card? At insert dmesg tells me "mmc0 new SD card at address cde5" [20:52] user___: you will need to set up a chroot environment - look at http://www.nistor.co.uk/2009/12/chroot-into-ubuntu-from-debian/ [20:52] Zeratul2k2, and you booted windows the last time? [20:53] Howitzer, than empathy [20:53] Zeratul2k2, can you still remember? [20:53] Hi, I play an audio-cd with vlc. Its not really a pleasure because the cd runs with much more than 1x speed. Does anybody know a possible solution to reduce cd spin for audio playback? [20:53] could anyone tell me where I can look to find a way to get a display-eyecandy type thing on the ubuntu desktop that shows things like your processor, memory, swap and hard drive use, cpu temperature, etc.? [20:53] mkanyicy: No, last time I was working on Ubuntu. I mostly left the WinXP partition there because it was required by my uni's techs === antivirtel`afk is now known as antivirtel [20:54] re [20:54] Zeratul2k2, ok, insert a livecd and boot into it and recover grub and place it back into the MBR [20:54] mkanyicy: but I tried booting into windows when I saw it wasn't working and it booted ok [20:54] so xinit from command line only, or can it be called to create a new x server from inside another x server [20:54] What's the name of that little icon near the clock that lets you start your IM-messenger and evolution from a menu? [20:54] e.g. from the gui [20:54] mkanyicy: grub-install? [20:55] # install+1 [20:55] Zeratul2k2, the reason for me to ask you is that HP laptops have a tendency of crashing grub2 [20:55] # ubuntu+1µ [20:55] Meltok, maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26864 [20:56] what is the difference between xinit and X [20:56] Zeratul2k2, I forgot the syntax, it's been sometime, its 'sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory=mount_point_of_ubuntu /dev/sda' [20:56] brent_: what are you trying to accomplish? [20:56] mkanyicy: yes, it's an HP laptop... let me try with the LiveCD, then [20:56] Zeratul2k2, that works on grub legacy [20:57] jrib, starting a new x server to run a game [20:57] StaRetji: Thx, but this would lower the speed in general. I thought an audioplayer would know, that audio-cd-playback is sufficient with 1x :) [20:57] Zeratul2k2, am not sure about the grub2 recovery syntax but try ubuntugeek [20:57] StaRetji: Probably its an vlc issue? [20:57] brent_: use startx [20:57] anyone here good with useing sed? [20:57] mkanyicy: I'll get on the man pages and be back once I do that [20:57] Meltok, don't know mate, have you tried with some other player? [20:58] jrib, wont that start a resource heavy WM? [20:58] urag: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [20:58] Zeratul2k2, if it is HP you will see it yourself, it will work fine until you boot windows. next time your grub wont boot ubuntu again [20:58] mkanyicy: to inform if it works or not [20:58] brent_: only if you tell it to [20:58] jrib, thanks [20:58] Zeratul2k2, good luck [20:58] mkanyicy: thanks === bipolar is now known as bipolar_away [20:59] !away > bipolar_away [20:59] bipolar_away, please see my private message [20:59] StaRetji: Hm, not yet [20:59] how do i alter sed -n 's%.*\(.*\) Meltok, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-media-players-overview.html [20:59] Meltok, worth a try [20:59] StaRetji: Ok, i'll take a look there first.

[21:53] ok, thanks [21:53] if u can do it through terminal... u can do through a php script right ? [21:54] almost. [21:54] @Danzl3: almost.

Also no sound in firefox, totem, rhythmbox etc [22:14] faryshta: you're going to have to explain since gparted is installable on a working ubuntu system [22:14] Olson I'd think is either a mixer setting or slider or the audio-out device used.... it has to be more likely the mixer, cuz audio-out devices are app specifics, it won't affect all apps like this case does [22:15] i have an ubuntu server setup to use ICS.

[22:23] mawst, Empathy [22:23] goddard: why? [22:23] Thanks Brokie [22:24] jrib why not? [22:24] goddard: because I'm pretty sure you are going to ask a different question once I tell you a gpg key is a way to encrypt information [22:24] I am trying to install wifi drivers for bcm 4312 on a netbook there is no ethernet I downloaded bcmwl-kernel-source_5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4_i386.deb and all the dependencies but when I installed it and restart it didn't do anything what do I need to do now? [22:25] hello [22:25] !hi | cliff_ [22:25] cliff_: 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! [22:25] jrib i said "gpg key id" [22:25] goddard: it's an id for such a key. [22:25] jrib there is a fingerprint right? and then a "key id" [22:25] goddard: yes [22:25] i have problem with mpi [22:25] I am running ubuntu Karmic, I have wireless networking, I am trying to run qemu-system-arm with networking support, but when I enable the bridge, it kills my network, and I cannot reconnect, how to fix? [22:25] how can I fix the wifi? [22:26] i run my program :mpirun -np 5 test.exe [22:26] goddard: there are examples of key ids here -> http://nmlug.org/faqs/gen-gpg-key.html (see #3) [22:26] jrib how do I get the key id then because my fingerprint is saved in my generated file correct? [22:26] I cant download drivers through hardware drivers app [22:26] an the output is :alarm clock [22:26] I am having trouble mounting my swap partition, could anyone help me kindly ? [22:26] goddard: it saves everyone a lot of time to just start by asking your real question (like the one you asked now) [22:26] sudobash, you have dell mini netbook? [22:27] hp [22:27] Hello [22:27] anubis, CAREFULY run: sudo mkswap /dev/; sudo swapon /dev/ [22:27] jrib i dont want to argue with you but not knowing everything about something is the reason why people ask questions and part of that is not even knowing how to ask the question but I appreciate any help you have to offer [22:27] Any good website for Ubuntu 9.10 themes? [22:27] with bcm4312 wifi [22:27] pepee, how do i run something carefully ?:P [22:27] @uboss google is your friend [22:27] goddard: it's covered in the url I gave you above... [22:28] sudobash, I had the same problem with dell mini, broadcom drivers, check with lspci, but I think that you have to upgrade the kernel in order to work [22:28] sudobash maybe im misunderstanding but have u tried bcm43xx-fwcutter [22:28] goddard: yes, but when someone asks "why" trying to get at what you really want, it's best to give a legitimate answer, not "why not?" [22:28] Is there a way to run a program in a native terminal, but forward the X output over ssh? [22:28] Anyone here wanna talk about hacking? PM me, I'm settin' up a zombie botnet with nc backdoors, and I'm looking for some bash script that'll execute ping -f through all zombie ip's I got. [22:28] anubis: how did you create your swap partition and what errors are you getting? [22:28] anubis: you make *very* sure you have the correct partition name before you let it rip... [22:28] markboston, I did it. Just asking if someone suggest me anything better. [22:29] Losha, ok thanks:P [22:29] mcurran: it's off-topic here, and you know that... [22:29] anubis, taking care of what you type, and how you do that [22:29] that's why I said PM me [22:29] sorry [22:29] bastid_raZor, well actually i just resized it .. so its in a different place has a different uuid i updated the conf file but it doesnt seem to be mounting.. [22:29] jrib Well I guess we wont agree about this but thank you for your help I think I figured it out [22:29] goddard: anyway, you can get the key id from gpg. For example, when I run « gpg --list-secret-keys » I get back "sec 1024D/6E33C97B 2005-12-18" as the first line. My key's id is 6E33C97B [22:29] Losha thanks [22:30] anubis: you changed the UUID in /etc/fstab to match the new UUID? [22:30] ahh [22:30] Brokie, /j #qemu [22:30] the force is strong in jrib... [22:30] How do I disable the effects in gnome??

[22:36] Brokie, haha [22:36] why? [22:37] Avenegra: why do you say it does not run ? [22:37] Avenegra, maybe, its tired? [22:37] yeah, poor .bashrc :( [22:37] pepee, command chmod seemed to run successfully , i just tried mkswap and swapon again and again same error [22:38] Avenegra, did you modify bashrc? [22:38] Anyone can tell me what is the jre plug-in file for web browsers? It would be a .so file (e.g. flash player= libflashplayer.so) [22:38] yes, i extended $PATH [22:38] anubis, IIRC dbus will change the permissions again... [22:38] Avenegra, try chmod 0655 .bashrc [22:38] anubis, try running the three commands in one line [22:38] mmm [22:38] please help [22:39] it has already 0655 [22:39] My jre plugin is not acx [22:39] ah no, was 644 [22:39] my jre plugin is not activated [22:39] :) [22:39] Does anybody know if Ubuntu will automatically change the time to DST in Israel tonight?

[22:39] yoavk: Yes, probably [22:39] I want to edit DVD-videos created from my DVD-recorder (i.e. removing commercials) and then save it as DivX(AVI) or DVD-Video. Which program should I use ? [22:39] yoavk: it should [22:39] yoavk, yes... unless you are in Kabul [22:39] pepee, does the order matter? [22:40] Thanks all! [22:40] anubis, yep... [22:40] yoavk, then it will scream to allah, and explode [22:40] On Windows I've used Pinnacle Studio...

[22:41] bastid_raZor, still there? :D [22:41] anubis, run: mount [22:41] toyman61, same here, avidemux [22:41] I think no helps form here, I have to find it myself -_- [22:41] anubis: pastebins are preferred. paste.pocoo.org is wonderful [22:41] Avenegra: how did you modified path ? paste the relevan lines [22:41] Losha: I have, but which file should I load ? [22:42] xfact, swallow your pride [22:42] pepee, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/193979/ [22:42] m0ar, thanks :) [22:43] well, it's a fresh .profile/.bashrc from Karmic, i only took the last lines from .profile (the ones that set the path) and added a scripts dir, the line is ' PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/scripts:$PATH" ' [22:43] m0ar, thats an awesome pastebin [22:43] Brokie, this is what I have from an old experiment lol: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -snapshot -m 256 -hda '/dev/sda' -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname= -redir tcp:1::1 -localtime -no-kqemu [22:43] jerk [22:43] toyman61: not sure i understand the question. If you have dvd-videos, the video is contained in all those .VOB files. Is that what you mean? [22:43] :O [22:43] o man [22:43] Losha: I have tried to load the one of the VOB-files on the DVD, but get the error message "Could not open the file". [22:43] it's the chekc for +x ~/bin :(/((((( [22:43] anubis: Indeed! [22:44] anubis: pastebin.org is gay, bloated and meh [22:44] Losha: I know, but I'm not able to load it into Avidemux. [22:44] Avenegra: so you changed profile not bashrc .... [22:44] toyman61: can you play the vob files using e.g. mplayer ? [22:44] hello all downloaded 9.10 remix but I am missing tslib or evdev... anyone know how I can get these in dpgk form? I have not network access on target [22:44] anubis: above [22:44] m0ar, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOX34udwf50 <--- tee hee [22:44] could anyone pls help me with this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 [22:44] i don't know what the heck I am supposed to do [22:44] m0ar, yeah . above what? ahhh its up there i had to scroll along [22:45] Brokie: ROFL [22:45] pepee, out of ideas? [22:45] m0ar: I don't appreciate your pejorative use of the term "gay"... [22:45] Losha: BRB [22:45] anubis, sudo lsof | grep sdb5 [22:45] Losha: Reason? [22:46] hello all x3 [22:46] anubis, yep... [22:46] toyman61, Losha , you should enable indexing of the vob file and the .idx file is stored on the same directory, so if that directory is read-only, then you are in trouble i guess [22:46] m0ar: reason? Because it's homophobic, why else? [22:46] Losha: I'm bisexual. [22:46] m0ar, keep it civil and on topic [22:46] http://pastebin.com/2PpiKFKf <---mpi problem line 9 [22:46] pepee, lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/anubis/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete. [22:46] Losha: Why do you get offended when I don't? [22:46] m0ar: then you should know better... [22:46] I have gnome and xfce4, in this last one, when I move my icons on the desktop, the move way too mechanical, I want them to move more smooth, how do I do that?? 0_o [22:47] m0ar, take chat elsewhere please [22:47] ot! | m0ar [22:47] how to make ISO images of usb drives or cds? [22:47] !ot | m0ar [22:47] m0ar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:47] jkd4: Very nessecairy, I really needed that [22:47] raven, dd [22:47] help? [22:47] could anyone pls help me with this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 [22:47] i don't know what the heck I am supposed to do [22:48] raven, unetbootin [22:48] raven: dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=mycdhere.iso [22:48] oh so simple..... tnx ;) [22:48] pepee, you advise pasteing on a forum ? [22:48] raven, ahh, sorry... [22:48] mkanyicy: I will try another DVD-video. There might be some trouble with the one I tried. [22:48] raven: just make sure of the device name, in that case I used sdc1, you can list them all with -> sudo fdisk -l; [22:48] when I move my icons, they follow a big square, I want to move them more freely, like in gnome [22:49] (im on xfce4 right now) [22:49] pepee, or any clues as to where i might look to find a solution ? [22:49] mkanyicy: But which file should I choose ? There are 7 or 8 VOB-files in the TS_VIDEO directory.. [22:50] toyman61, do you want to rip a dvd? [22:50] anubis, there are many folks that can help you in this channel [22:50] toyman61, and convert it to DivX? [22:50] anubis, try asking again... [22:50] how can I download the Broadcom STA wireless driver suggest in Hardware Drivers app I'm on netbook with no wifi no ethernet [22:50] wow was someone really nitpicking the fact that someone used the term gay hah amazing [22:50] sorry, I can't help you [22:50] pepee, ok [22:51] how can I download the Broadcom STA wireless driver suggest in Hardware Drivers app I'm on netbook with no wifi no ethernet [22:51] mkanyicy: Basically, yes.. [22:51] anubis, try #linux [22:51] Hey, guys would someone more advanced than pepee, kindly help me with a swap mounting problem [22:51] toyman61, please use dvdrip instead of avidemux because even though you can append multiple VOB's in avidemux your audio is prone to be out of sync with the video [22:52] pepee, thanks for your efforts anyway man , i'm joining #linux now [22:52] mkanyicy: But dvdrip is only to rip the DVD ? [22:52] toyman61, i guess so [22:52] how can I see all incoming connections? such as pings to me and so [22:52] toyman61, if you already have a vob from somewhere, then you have to use avidemux [22:52] i want to run linux from a usb stick of 2g, how to do it? [22:52] anubis, tell them what you did and what you see [22:52] sudobash: still looking for the fwcutter stuff? [22:52] mkanyicy: But when I have ripped the whole thing to my harddisk - how do I use avidemux to load them if my audio is prone to be out of sync ? [22:52] please, someone help, Im on xfce4 and I want to be able to move the icons on my desktop more freely and smooth [22:53] toyman61, but it would be a mistake in choosing to use avidemux to rip a dvd [22:53] sudobash, bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases. [22:53] pepee, sure i will try [22:53] !firewall | c3l [22:53] c3l: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [22:53] I already installed bcm43xx-fwcutter_20060108 [22:53] erUSUL, ty [22:53] sudobash: sooo, you want to... run it? [22:53] mkanyicy: I will try to rip it using dvdrip.. [22:53] toyman61, dvdrip rips everything to harddisk AND then transcode it to your DivX [22:54] I pulled my .sys from the windows partition and it said the MD5 wasn't found [22:54] m0ar, Bush is dumber than Peter... [22:54] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpP7b2lUxVE [22:54] mkanyicy: But I need to do some editing before transcoding it to DivX.. :-( [22:54] toyman61, it just does not like to convert something it never ripped by itself [22:54] mkanyicy: Such as removing commercials.. [22:54] Brokie, stop pasting youtube video here [22:54] ok [22:54] heh [22:54] toyman61: in general, the vobs are played in order and are basically the entire video, broken into chunks that are less than 2G each. dvdrip will copy/decrypt vobs and then convert them to avis, but it doesn't support editing. You are best off editing the vobs and then converting, in my opinion... [22:54] Shall I paste Vimeo clips instead? [22:54] Brokie, no [22:54] Justclips? [22:55] toyman61, a dvd with commercials? [22:55] Brokie, take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [22:55] is there a way to download the STA wireless driver as a deb the one recommened in the Hardware Drivers APP? [22:55] aww man, you were off topic too! [22:55] LOL [22:55] toyman61, then use avidemux, you can cut and merge videos [22:55] mkanyicy: I can record TV-shows using my DVD-Recorder to local harddisk. Then I copy it from the harddisk to DVD, and the result is a DVD-VIDEO. This can contain commercials.. [22:56] sudobash, yes. [22:56] what should I do? [22:56] okay if I can download the BCM STA WIFI driver how? [22:56] toyman61, remember that you may lose some quality by doing so many conversions [22:56] toyman61: that said, ripping the vob from the dvd to view the dvd using the .ifo files, is about 10times quicker, than encoding it, I've encoded a 3hr ripped dvd on a core2-duo 3gbs ram desktop, it took 1hr 35mins about, which just ripping took about 15mins [22:56] I want to manually download the STA driver and put it on flashdrive [22:57] sudobash, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bcmwl-kernel-source and http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bcmwl-modaliases [22:57] hi there [22:57] Hello everyone. I'll shoot right away: today I found that my MMC does not automount, and apparently the partition table changed somehow. The first and only partition is ext2 and the partition table lists it as FAT32. Riddle me that! [22:57] thank you deanus I think you tried to tell me that earlier but I didn't understand [22:57] sudobash, those are for the STA (what I`m using.. well I`m using newer versions) [22:57] bye [22:57] have a nice day :) [22:57] mkanyicy: OK. I will try to rip the DVD, and then edit and encode it. [22:57] sudobash: may I ask what are you after? just making your broadcomm card work? [22:57] sudobash, I`m using the lucid ones... [22:57] toyman61: avidemux is still the first choice for what you want. Why don't we debug the reason you don't see able to read VOB files? [22:58] how should I do this though? [22:58] sudobash, do what exactly. [22:58] just install deb and restart? [22:58] use those files with the fwcutter or what? [22:58] Losha: The reason might be that avidemux wants to index the files. And tries to put the .idx-file on the DVD which is read-only.. :-) [22:58] sudobash, oh, just sudo dpkg -i bcm*.deb and restart [22:59] toyman61: could be. If you wait a minute, I'll try it on a disk of my own... [22:59] Typos_King: I will try to rip it to harddisk before I do any further work on it.. :-) [22:59] Losha: I'll wait [22:59] sudobash, the fwcutter is the free open driver.. STA is broadcoms, and much better IMO [23:00] toyman61, you can copy 1 VOB file to /tmp folder and try using avidemux on it [23:00] Typos_King, sorted it .. had to remote desktop in and change some options for Mr. "ive tried everything" thanks for your thoughts [23:00] toyman61: it does take a long while to encode you know.... I mean... for a movie you'll watch...what? 5 times only? not sure it may be worth the hassle just for viewing it [23:00] mkanyicy: Losha is trying it out now.. [23:00] well, depends on the movie length of course too, but still [23:01] Olson: hehheeh [23:01] Typos_King: I may not be the only one who wants to see the movie - or the TV-show.. [23:01] ok [23:01] Does Karmic takes care about time sync by default? [23:02] Typos_King: Ripping it first seems to be a good idea.. [23:02] madjoe: you mean, DST? [23:02] Before I screw up... how do I use gparted? [23:02] Typos_King: DST and time sync as well. [23:02] Typos_King: is there a default time server in Ubuntu? [23:03] I guess I dunno what time sync is.... it keeps the proper time :) [23:03] madjoe: yep just gotta turn it on [23:03] a time server.... no that I know of [23:03] hi guys! I remember there was a program that records your monitor.. what was it called? ) [23:03] gogeta1: how can I do that? [23:04] madjoe: in your time setting check sync to internet [23:04] toyman61: avidemux reads my burned dvds fine. When I open VTS_01_0.VOB it even notices that it's part of a series and offers to concatenate and index the other vobs all at the same time. It takes a while to do this though. I think you have some kind of permissions problem. Try mkanyicy's suggestion. I'd also like to know if mplayer can read the vobs... [23:04] okay everybody...let me ask this...when I see amd64.deb,i386.deb or mipsel.deb...which one of those packages should I use for my system ? [23:04] anyone knows why i keep getting "hash sum mismatch" when installing mysql-client-5.1 on intrepid?? [23:04] gogeta1: time settings? I would have NEVER guessed that.. lol [23:04] lol [23:04] can I modprobe it? I restarted and it didn't do anything? [23:04] madjoe: right click clock prefs it should be there [23:04] Losha: Yes, it might be a permission problem. I'll try to rip it and then see if I'm able to use avidemux (or some other program). [23:05] faron: what does « uname -m » return? [23:05] progre55: http://elantux.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/recordmydesktopscreenshot.jpg [23:05] progre55: you mean a program to record the desktop? I think it was gtk-recordmydesktop [23:05] one moment [23:05] toyman61: ok, though I think it might shed some light on it to know if mplayer can play the vob... [23:05] gogeta1: found it.. thanks! [23:05] Typos_King, snovbx: thanks guys, appreciate [23:05] Is mplayer a part of standard Ubuntu 9.10 ? [23:06] jrib....i686 [23:06] toyman61, no [23:06] Iv'e been confused about this for so long [23:06] faron: then you want the _i386.deb [23:06] toyman61 no [23:06] Losha, mplayer plays vob file with no problem [23:06] * Typos_King prefers xine-ui [23:06] faron: (for ubuntu of course) [23:06] thank you so much [23:06] mkanyicy, Typos_King : OK. Then I must install it first. BRB [23:07] any other suggestions? [23:07] toyman61: it's just for testing. If you already have vlc, or xine, or totem, they would be fine. I just want to know if *anything* can read the vobs... [23:07] how about [Xubuntu] :-D same thing right ? [23:07] faron: yep :) [23:07] alright ! hey thanks again jrib [23:07] progre55: recordmydesktop or istanbul [23:07] toyman61 ... I use mplayer for only 1 thing, saving mms:// streams :P~, other than that, I prefer xine-ui [23:08] well wish me luck:-D [23:08] it says it needs wl.ko for module bcmwl in the DKMS tree [23:08] Typos_King: vlc can do mms [23:08] Typos_King: mplayer has the best firefox intergration [23:08] maco: istanbul? huh =) but which one would you suggest? [23:08] maco: I've heard RecordMyDesktop is a pretty good tool. [23:08] gogeta1: so does xine-ui.... but won't save it, with mplayer you can do a -dumpstream to a file and save the actual videofile [23:08] i would recommend recordmydesktop on the command line [23:08] rather than istanbul [23:09] Each to their own. If mplayer had dvd menu support, I'd never use anything else... [23:09] gogeta1: that's true .... with vlc, i can't even watch embedded .mov in a website [23:09] Typos_King: w vlc you just check the save stream box [23:09] and recordmydesktop has a gui too, never heard about istanbul though... [23:09] neither do I [23:09] recordmydesktop is much more controllable from the command line [23:09] darn gdebi says dependency not satisfiable ! [23:09] istanbul has barely been touched for a long time [23:09] I've heard that Istanbul is in Turkey tho.. not in my Ubuntu.. lol [23:09] anyone please? [23:09] Losha: The standard movie player is able to play the VOB-files... mplayer gives me an error.. (I might have got the installation wrong or something) [23:09] sudobash: gimme a few secs, I put a paste [23:10] Losha, totem plays vob files, mplayer, vlc ... everything ... as long as you have codecs in place [23:10] madjoe: lol [23:10] anything I can do about that jrib ? [23:10] faron: what dependency? [23:10] Losha: I'm using a localized version of Ubuntu. "Movie player" might be an incorrect translation.. :-) [23:10] izmanromli: yea if you wanna do mov and streaming divx online mplayer works alot better [23:10] mkanyicy: I believe you, I just don't like the interface... [23:10] hmmmm ?? let me see if I can find out [23:10] Now please anyone can tell me where is google chrome located? (Directory) [23:10] progre55: honestly? they've been rather crap in my experience. one of them crashed when i tried to save the files, and the other produced corrupt oggs. [23:10] (repost) Hello everyone. I'll shoot right away: today I found that my MMC does not automount, and apparently the partition table changed somehow. The first and only partition is ext2 and the partition table lists it as FAT32. Riddle me that! [23:11] toyman61: well, time to try mkanyicy's idea of copying a vob and then see if avidemux can open the copy... [23:11] Losha, what interface? [23:11] hmmmmmmm.nope jrib it doesn't say [23:11] Hey, Ubuntu geeks? Can anyone recommend me a good puzzle game for Ubuntu other than chess? [23:11] If a videogame company names "iSkateRider" a game, can the trademark owners of "iSkate" sue it? [23:11] faron: it should [23:11] xfact: the google chrome binary is probably located in /bin other files can be located in other places [23:11] Losha: I'll try. BRB [23:11] maco: lol )) well, thanks for the feedback.. I'll try to install recordmydesktop for now.. [23:11] Pearlan: ask a lawyer, this channel is for ubuntu support [23:11] sup all? [23:12] I've got "description","details" & included files" [23:12] xfact: linux doesn't really do things the say way windows does them.. installed applications has files in many places [23:12] progre55: well istanbul does exist, but latest news from it dates from 2007... [23:12] Pearlan: i'm with jrib on that [23:12] sudobash, sorry didnt see you.. [23:12] but it doesn't say what the issue is [23:12] madjoe, what about ubuntu greeks? [23:12] can anyone help me get the front usb ports on my tower working?? [23:12] faron: should be next to "dependencies not satisfiable" [23:12] sudobash, yeah there is something you need to do.. hangon... [23:12] Now please anyone can tell me where is google chrome located? (Directory) [23:12] xfact: or find it in /opt for a google-chrome binary [23:12] jrib: sorry about that, this channel is the only one that pops up as I open xchat [23:12] mkanyicy: you know, that dumb little screen with the tabs on top. I have mplayer all setup to use various keys to navigate. It's just a personal choice thing... [23:12] mkanyicy: they right next to Ubuntu Istanbulians. [23:12] Pearlan: no problem, maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic for a more social channel [23:12] Is it possible to configure KMS for Intel gpu with Jauny using 2.6.28-11 kernel? [23:12] hey, I'm trying to build a bootable usb device /from/ a mac to be used on a regular every day laptop. But my future host laptop doesn't recognize the usb as having a valid os onit to boot from. (following the directions on the bootable usb wiki page) [23:12] sudobash, add wl to the end of /etc/modules [23:13] xfact: mine is /opt [23:13] I'm wondering if those directions are to boot off of a mac [23:13] sudobash: http://pastebin.ca/1852259 <--- [23:13] madjoe, I thought that would 'puzzle' you [23:13] weird...it just says..."error:dependency not satisfiable":gnash [23:13] snovbx: I see =) well thanks, I've already got recordmyvideo.. and this is the one I used to have actually, so I've got some experience with it =) [23:13] since they involve converting the iso to a dmg [23:13] mkanyicy: ;) [23:13] oops didn't mean to do that::-D [23:13] xfact: since you seem to be ignoring me I'll just leave you with one more hint.. run which chromium-browser in a terminal to get the location [23:14] weird [23:14] Losha: I copied a VOB-file to my videoclips directory and tried to open it using avidemux. Message: "This looks like mpeg. Want to index it?". Answering yes and then got the message "File could not open" [23:14] mkanyicy: I'm on my test drive of Ubuntu Karmic, for the first time, so I'd like to see a good light-weight game, at the end of my Linux journey [23:14] how do you run a .pl script anyone? [23:14] Losha, can you go back on mplayer? [23:14] perl script.pl [23:14] jdobrien: ./yourscript.pl should work.... or perl yourscript.pl [23:14] jkd4: first, read it and make sure you either understand it or trust the author to not blow up your computer, then perl file.pl [23:14] sudobash: got the paste? [23:14] Losha, I mean after playing next file can you go to the previous file? [23:14] sorry jdobrien, wrong nick [23:15] Pearlan: we're not lawyers [23:15] jdk: ./yourscript.pl should work.... or perl yourscript.pl [23:15] yeah thats for the open driver im gonna try the STA then that [23:15] ok [23:15] xfact: are you using google-chrome or chromium? Slart has given you a nice hint [23:15] bah.. jkd4 , look above.. my fingers are fighting me today =) [23:15] Slart, excuse me, have you sent any answer, ohh sorry then I was disconnected for short time, I am not ignoring anyone, everyone is most welcome for help, and thank you I have got the needed answer [23:15] so wait shouldn't I be able to modprobe wl from terminal>? [23:15] can anyone help me get the front usb ports on my tower working?? [23:15] jrib I wonder if I maybe reinstalled the older version & then tried to install the new on top ? === jdobrien is now known as webm0nk3y [23:15] faron: I don't know what your error is [23:16] sudobash, you dont need to.. just add it to modules.. it will autoload on boot [23:16] madjoe, go to ubuntu software center under 'games' and read the descriptions and see if you can get something [23:16] xfact: dunno about google chrome, but usually system wide-config files goes in /etc, user config files goes hidden in your home folder (. prefix), /usr/bin goes binaries, /usr/share goes shared files,/usr/lib goes libraries, and finally /opt goes a few packages, could be there. [23:16] xfact: no worries.. glad you found the help you needed [23:16] sudobash, sure, you can modprobe it....... [23:16] sudobash: if it's there, should, check if it's there, sudo lsmod [23:16] deanus it says not found [23:16] mkanyicy: actually, I don't know. I usually play one video at a time. I can see that maybe for short videos you'd want a playlist... [23:16] me neither...it won't tell me [23:16] progre55: i think istanbul was the crashy one and with the right combination of settings it could run without crashing, but i forget the magic settings combination [23:16] sudobash, did you install both packages? [23:17] mkanyicy: oh I can get tons of generic info like that... I wanted some human touch like a recommendation :) [23:17] sudobash, add wl to /etc/modules then and reboot.. it works for me.. [23:17] faron: are you only installing one .deb, because I seem to recall several .debs on gnash's site? Why aren't you just using the repository again? [23:17] izmanromli, I am using Google chrome and thanks it's in opt, but where to paste 'libjavaplugin_oji.so' there are no 'plugins' folder [23:17] Losha, All I know is that when you press ENTER you go to the next video [23:17] repo does not have the vresion I want to try [23:17] xfact: try the mozilla folder, or create one. webkit gets flash from mozilla plugins folder [23:18] xfact: I'd check under /usr/lib/chrome [23:18] snovbx, Thanks I am trying [23:18] madjoe, actually (what we dont want to tell you is that) it is a puzzling game to look through those 'tons' [23:18] yeah both the kernel source one said error could not locate wl.ko for module bcmwl in DKMS tree you must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.31-14-generic (i686) first.... Done... [23:18] Is it possible to configure KMS for Intel gpu with Jauny using 2.6.28-11 kernel? [23:18] mkanyicy: hahaha! :) good1 [23:18] maco: lol, nvm, I dont need it =) thanks though [23:18] mkanyicy: I started liking Ubuntu geeks :) [23:19] Hello! does anyone have Ubuntu on HP Pavilion laptop? [23:19] toyman61: that's odd. I'm starting to wonder if there's something strange about your video format. It seems unlikely. Can you run mplayer -v on the file and pastebin the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com ? [23:19] Losha: Error message: "Could not open the file". I checked the permissions and it was rw on all groups (including the user I'm logged in as). [23:19] yeah both the kernel source one said error could not locate wl.ko for module bcmwl in DKMS tree you must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.31-14-generic (i686) first.... Done... [23:19] iadrian, whats happening with it? [23:19] !who | faron [23:19] faron: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:19] sudobash, I dont remember doing anything other than installin debs and adding to /etc/modules. hm [23:19] faron: the first thing I said to you is important too [23:19] Typos_King, There no such folder(s) named 'chrome' [23:19] iadrian: no, but I have a WinXP on my Acer laptop.. how can I help you? :) [23:20] xfact: is chrome running right now? [23:20] sorry jrib' [23:20] Losha, : I have never used pastebin before.. (Yes, I know I'm a newbie on this..). But I have worked with computers for years.. [23:20] what so i just need wl.ko right and put it somewhere then reinstall the deb? [23:20] Typos_King, nope [23:20] xfact: if you installed it under /opt, it usually wont install anything over /usr [23:20] sudobash, you need to run dkms to build the module.. [23:20] toyman61: pastebin is easy. First time's the hardest. Just open the page, paste in the text, hit submit, then tell us the url it gave you [23:20] use tab ? I'm sorry,what's that do ? [23:20] sudobash, I cant tell you the command exactly to do that... [23:20] tab jrib ? [23:20] xfact: can you run it? :) [23:20] snovbx, Yup, I think thats right [23:21] faron: you can type the beginning of my nick and hit tab to save some time typing: jr [23:21] xfact: once running do a -> sudo lsof -c chrome | grep -i plugin; [23:21] madjoe: my favourite game is trying to figure out how to solve #ubuntu user's problems... [23:21] ahhhh now that's cool jrib [23:21] toyman61, still have the video problem? [23:21] xfact: i'm installing it to check it out [23:21] xfact: that will show what 'of' open files is using and where the folders are [23:21] Typos_King, Yup I can run it, but without any java plug-in where all other browser has java enabled :( [23:21] dats a good ting to no [23:21] xfact: once running do a -> sudo lsof -c chrome | grep -i plugin; [23:22] how do i reset the gnome panel from the terminal === lullabud_ is now known as lullabud [23:22] * xfact is n00b [23:22] Losha, that is not puzzling enough for madjoe [23:23] xfact: another think you may want to try inside chrome is either -> about:plugins and about:config [23:23] mkanyicy: Losha is helping me right now.. :-) [23:23] Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4VecZLYU [23:23] toyman61, ok, great [23:23] xfact: install the plugins from the repository, they work [23:23] sudobash, I dont think I had to do that.. installing the debs I thought would make the module... [23:23] mkanyicy: yes, it's wierd, toyman61 says mplayer and avidemux won't open a copy of his vob but his default movie player will...? [23:23] xfact: tried it now, it runs every plugin that firefox supports [23:23] mkanyicy: Look at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4VecZLYU [23:23] SOOooooo any help building a bootable usb drive if the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick aren't working? [23:23] Typos_King, Yup, there I can clearly see that java plugin is not listed [23:24] xfact: any directories for the say, flash player? [23:24] Losha, mkanyicy : I might have some wrong settings somewhere.. [23:24] toyman61: mkanyicy: any number can play 'solve the ubuntu bug'... [23:24] snovbx, yup, I have done and all the browsers running it except chrome [23:24] xfact: or under about:config it'd show all configuration info [23:25] xfact: that's weird, have you installed it throught the .deb package from google? [23:25] snovbx, yup, that was easy [23:26] xfact: try this page: it shows all plugins currently running. tried it, shows the same as webkit epiphany and firefox: http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ [23:26] aconbere: a bootable usb drive for 9.1? [23:26] Typos_King, Maybe it's weird but the about:config showing nothing (a blank white page) [23:26] snovbx, well, ok [23:26] * xfact is gonna think about it deeply [23:27] xfact: -> sudo lsof -c chrome | grep -i plugin; what about that one? does it show a 'plugin' folder of kinds? [23:27] Typos_King: I'm /trying/ to build one for 10.04 beta [23:27] toyman61: mkanyicy: hmm. I wonder if it's missing codecs. Do you have medibuntu installed? [23:27] Losha, : No, I don't think so.. [23:28] BRB [23:28] aconbere: in 9.1 and I think 9.0 they included such option right from the live-cd boot, for making a 'usb startup disk' [23:28] toyman61: mkanyicy: well, it's worth installing them, since whatever *is* wrong seems to be affecting avidemux as well. [23:28] ok I found this and it seems like my exact error but when I do: sudo dkms build -m bcmwl -v 5.10.91.9+bdcom it returns: applying patch0001-MODULE_LICENSE.patch.../usr/sbin/dkms: line 35: patch: command not found then it says that it failed [23:28] aconbere: well, it's no in the menus but once you're loggedin the desktop in the live-cd, it has such in 9.x [23:28] xfact: well? did the tests run fine? [23:29] toyman61: me too, need to eat something... [23:29] I think I have just got the solution [23:29] ok I found this and it seems like my exact problem I do: sudo dkms build -m bcmwl -v 5.10.91.9+bdcom it returns: applying patch0001-MODULE_LICENSE.patch.../usr/sbin/dkms: line 35: patch: command not found then it says that it failed [23:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1308533.html [23:29] Hello , I was wondering what the programs are called that show memory , cpu % that you often see on screenshots of other peoples distros [23:29] http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/74813-1.jpg like this one [23:29] anubis: htop [23:29] anubis, conky ?

But now I have to sleep. If I'm not able to solve the problem I'll return tomorrow.. [23:30] Typos_King, no, not yet unless 10.50 [23:30] toyman61: understood. Best of luck... [23:30] toyman61, try Losha's suggestion of installing codecs, I think (totem and rhythmbox) use gstreamer's good/bad/ugly codecs while i cannot confirm that for avidemux and the rest [23:30] Thanks Typos_King that was a good help [23:30] leagris: ? [23:30] blakkheim, bazhang do those look like on the picture ? or is that just a theme ? are they pinned to the desktop or do i need to set that up ? [23:31] mkanyicy,: I'll do that. Thanx anyway.. [23:31] toyman61, Losha install w32codecs [23:31] Losha: Thanx for your help so far.. [23:31] mkanyicy, : OK [23:31] Losha, sorry Ubuntu can not feed you directly ;d [23:31] also thanks to everyone of you izmanromli, Slart, snovbx for more help I will ask soon, :) [23:31] anubis, on the right side? looks like conky [23:31] leagris: sorry, no idea what you're talking about...

Is there some software that comes with kharmic that operates in similar fashion to SELinux?? I ask because it may be the cause of my SAMBA issues and I'm too new to linux to know these things [23:33] Typos_King, thank you man [23:33] i'm trying to get drupal to install, but I keep getting a mysql error : Failed to connect to your MySQL database server.

[23:33] bazhang, so can't really search on google if i dont know what something is called haha [23:33] I think it has something to do with the fact that there is no directory with the name /var/run/mysql [23:33] sudo, I never had to do anything other than install the debs, add wl to modules and reboot.. sorry I`m no help.. [23:34] The command I forgot, starts with probably gksudo [23:34] xfact: do you mean permissions? [23:34] xfact: you mean get root permissions?

But when I got to play it the application just shuts down. even in VLC [23:34] xfact: if you're running GNOME, its gksudo nautilus / [23:34] ahhh I may have it this time [23:34] paranoidphreak: thanks [23:34] I think I do [23:34] bazhang, thanks man [23:34] xfact: you'll get nautilus as root [23:34] you could use chown or chmod [23:35] snovbx, ohh thank you [23:35] DarkStar11: offhand, no.

[23:46] Chrome and FF still out of java, guys this is where I got the task, and it's half successful http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#selfextracting [23:46] * Qestrel has a screensaver problem...

[23:46] WTF I installed server 9.1 and now there is no DNS. I can place hosts in the /etc/hosts file, but putting anything in the resolv.conf file does nothing. [23:47] hello [23:47] bouta: freefileconvert.com [23:47] Hi [23:47] Hi all BTW [23:47] hehe [23:47] anyone seen this? [23:47] hello [23:47] I just linked my libjavaplugin_oji.so to the usr/lib/mozilla/plugin, but it's not linking to the main directory most probably for the not having the root permission [23:47] Hammerhead: put stuff in /etc/resolv.conf then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [23:47] howdy, I have a screensaver question... [23:47] how r you @Twiple [23:47] hi [23:48] Seventy8: okay well then you just need to mount them. [23:48] Thanks....but I have done that.... [23:48] How can the developer can add his program to ubuntu repository so that people can use it ? [23:48] Seventy8: then you can share them over the network if you want with samba to your windows boxes [23:48] haavaros.. well.... haem... can't say :)... you can I guess do a -> dd if=/dev/sda of=file.mbr and view file.mbr, it'd be a binary one, if it shows, grub, yes hehe [23:48] Thanks but I have done that.... [23:48] Ubuntu doesn't detect Seagate Barracuda XT Sata3 hard drive, anyone help me ?

[23:49] izmanromli, when I came here wit hthis issue, then all of my browser(s0 were javaless, but now except Firefox and chrome every browser supporting it [23:49] haavaros: Ihope you didn't copy/pasted the paste there === OoO1 is now known as orbarron|OoO [23:49] It's a partial success [23:49] histo: I'm only using this as a local server / seedbox ... and it's only being accessed by windows computers. Someone else said ... don't overload samba, it's easier to use ntfs and something o.o [23:49] haavaros: since UBUNTUPARTITIONHERE is not a device :P [23:49] haha [23:49] Seventy8: well you need samba to share the local drivers [23:49] anyone else using empathy for IRC? I cant get a room list... [23:50] Is there a quick key map for ubuntu? [23:50] haavaros: other than that, just reboot :) [23:50] Seventy8: local drives not drivers [23:50] supernatendo: /channels no?

I still don't get that [23:50] izmaelis, I want to add my program to the official repository of ubuntu [23:50] keeps giving errpr 'unsupported command' [23:50] Typos_King: Yes i did :) Fixed it now [23:50] supernatendo, Add a user as IRC, and then switch to online, then at top of Buddy List Window, select ROOMS...

[23:51] ping www.abc.com get unknown host [23:51] Is there a quick key map for ubuntu? like a printable one? [23:51] freaking me out.... [23:51] Seventy8: make folders in your home directory that you want to mount the drives to. [23:51] supernatendo: you can always check /help :) [23:51] izmanromli, yup, I noticed that, do you know how to permit a file for root privileges? [23:51] Typos_King, [23:52] mmmk [23:52] Seventy8: see if they are already availible in the Places menu also [23:52] supernatendo: I don't use empathy :) soo [23:52] Typos_King, Empathy does not support / switches [23:52] '/help' gives message 'unsupported command' [23:52] ohh hehe, that figures [23:52] xfact other than sudo, I'm not sure.

[23:53] Nevermind [23:53] histo: I can see all 3 drives in places... but they show up under computer right now ? [23:53] izmanromli, yup got it [23:53] Seventy8: make one folder for each drive. then you would mount /dev/hdx /home/seventy8/mountpoint each drive where X is the letter that is there. [23:53] Hello all! I'm trying to download unetbootin on linux to make a linux live usb stick. I downloaded the "for linux" program and I can't figure out how to open it. It says it's an executable but when I try to open it in terminal it says I'm not authorized [23:53] im trying to figure out what is the diff between kubuntu and ubuntu besides the kde and gnome environment. does kubuntu have a specific use like programming or networking or what is it designed to offer thats different from ubuntu? [23:53] hopaqk: what is your question? [23:53] im just not gonna use empathy then... [23:53] Twiple, thanks for try :) [23:53] I have problem to telnet [23:53] snow_ru: haven't done that myself, sooo can't say, I'd think they'd have some howto adding a .deb to their repository [23:53] supernatendo, [23:53] Seventy8: and you will want to edit your fstab so that they get mounted on boot i'm assuming [23:53] PM [23:54] lappie: kde/gnome is the only difference [23:54] !fstab > Seventy8 [23:54] Seventy8, please see my private message [23:54] supernatendo, PM [23:54] Seventy8: check out the message from ubottu [23:54] Brokie: I have an Geforce 9600 gt, is that a problem? [23:54] histo: k [23:54] lappie: kubuntu gives you 'Windows/Mac' looks-n-feels [23:54] * xfact just changed the file too root, now it's judgment time! [23:54] *to [23:54] kruzen, how is your monitor connected? [23:55] Brokie: how so? [23:55] kruzen, thats what I'm asking you [23:55] kruzen, what type of connection did you make for your monitor? [23:55] Still it dumping [23:55] I cant even '/msg' [23:55] Typos_King: Weird... mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /mnt returned "special device /dev/sda5 does not exist [23:55] ahhh i see. what is the kubuntu chat room name? [23:56] histo: I feel retarded but I've got no idea where the drive letter is.... /facepalm....... [23:56] #kubuntu [23:56] lappie: #kubuntu - logically [23:56] I think [23:56] histo: owait nvm [23:56] thank u guys :) [23:56] Well, when I am giving a linked file root privileges, then do I have to give that too to the original file? [23:56] no problem [23:56] haavaros: does it show as ext4 under -> sudo fdisk -l; [23:56] Seventy8: yeah its a bit tricky but you can type in sudo fdisk -l to get a list of the drives on the machine in a terminal [23:56] Brokie: actualy I was trying to use two [23:56] Brokie: one using geforce and other the onboard [23:57] haavaros: something tells me you're not using a 9.1 live-usb boot [23:57] xfact: you should chown or chmod it's original file .... not the linked one [23:57] histo: it all made sense when I saw it in disk utility... listed /dev/hda1 mounted at /media/ONE (named the hdds ONE TWO THREE) [23:57] hello again everybody hey therejrib,you still here ?...weird...installed swfdec mozilla plugin from synaptic pack mgr but mozilla doesn't see it ??? looked in tools-addons-plugins & extensions & it's just not there...but syn says it's installed [23:57] Seventy8: well hda would be primary master hdb would be primary slave etc.. [23:57] xfact: install the java plugin from the ubuntu repositories [23:58] Seventy8: they are named a certain way for how they are hooked up to the machine. [23:58] xfact: i got it working like that [23:58] '/msg' '/help' '/whois' nothing works in emapathy! giving me a message 'unsupported command' WTF!!! [23:58] Seventy8: but sudo fdisk -l will list all the hard drives that you can see. [23:58] supernatendo: use a better irc client, such as irssi [23:58] system monitor shows 70%+ utilization on both cores but nothing in top or processors shows over 5% usage... help plz! [23:58] histo: ok thanks (: [23:58] timboy: use htop [23:58] xfact: just a quickie, do you have java installed? [23:59] Brokie: but I already tried with just the geforce and didn't work too [23:59] kruzen [23:59] xfact: not the plugin, the actual full runtime package, which is about 40mbs [23:59] Typos_King: Yes, this is 9.1 live usb [23:59] I keep asking HOW your monitor is connected [23:59] Seventy8: then you can follow the directions for fstab once you know which dev they are. [23:59] HDMI, VGA, Component, Composite.... [23:59] Why do ubuntu has empathy as the default messenger? Isn't pidgin way more usable or at least mature/functionnal? [23:59] anybody explain to me why firefox not recognizing swfdec mozilla plugin I just installed from synaptic ? [23:59] haavaros: then maybe you may want to try entering the the commands one by one :)
