[00:00] jimbeam12 : if it is based on the UVC standard it should "just work" out of the box [00:00] jimbeam12, In future, put everything on one line. It's easier to read. [00:00] have a resolution by 1024... [00:00] ok cool [00:00] houston / jimbeam12: Logitech doesnt like *nix [00:00] any suggestions for an 802.11n pci card with solid support (and available in the US)? [00:00] so what a good webcam for unix.. [00:02] daftykins, so it still works. why doesnt studio 64bot come with a network manager ? [00:02] daftykins, or was there more to it? [00:02] !repository [00:02] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:02] jimbeam12, see the "supported devices" list at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ [00:02] Before I have to wipe again, is there some way to "force"/specify monitor settings rather than trying to make ubuntu recognize them. I've tried modifying xorg.conf, but no dice. [00:03] thx [00:03] patrick__: it's possible it was as simple as the network manager, but you didn't have the interface before so that was odd. i've no idea about studio to be honest :) [00:03] back. same problem. getting an error message on youtube when i try to play a video that says i don't have the latest flash player or javascript is disabled. [00:03] patrick__: we both learned something either way :D [00:04] network-manager tell me "Networkmanager disabled" what can i do ? [00:04] loki87: right click the tray icon and tick "enable network" ? if it's there [00:04] orochi: In Tools->Add-ons->Plugins, does it list Shockwave Flash? [00:04] yep [00:04] flash is working too [00:04] daftykins: can't click anything [00:05] @loki87 I had the same problem I ended up doing a fresh install [00:05] thats not the way, i am sure that i can fix this [00:05] ubuntu is not windows [00:06] i actually some how uninstalled mine couldn't get etho or wireless to work [00:06] hey i am trying to use aircrack, but when ever i use airmon b4 it gives me eth2 instead of a wlan...do i need to enable anything or download any packages b4 i use aircrack-ng...ill list the packages ive downloaded so far1)aircrack-ng2)airmon-ng3)macchanger4)airodump-ng...what am i doing wrong [00:06] ... god damn [00:07] tried to reinstall it and it would not fetch i had no internet [00:08] Typos_Kings: it doesnt let me save the doc [00:08] anybody wanna help me with some aircrack problems? [00:08] later [00:08] get backtrack for aircrack [00:08] and what not [00:09] it's based on ubuntu [00:09] I'm having a problem side-by-side installing ubuntu 9.10 with xp [00:09] and everything is set up [00:09] I get to the partition manager but it doesn't give me the "side-by-side" option. [00:09] @redxiii are you trying to install from live cd [00:09] how do i Turn on sound support from kernel config [00:10] installing from live dvd 9.10 [00:10] I hit "Install Ubuntu" and went through the prompts [00:10] maybe I should just boot to the desktop and do it using gparted? [00:10] RedXIII: you mean dual boot [00:10] RedXIII: What partitions are already on the drive? only XP? [00:10] i already got aircrack-ng, airmon-ng, macchanger and airodump_ng...do i need to enable anything so they can pick up a wifi signal [00:10] you need to go into monitor mode [00:10] Well according to hiren's bootcd it shows that there's a 8mb free unallocated sector and a winxp proff partition [00:10] RedXIII: you wan tot resize the Xp partition and install ubuntu in the free space. [00:11] madwifi [00:11] histo: exactly. [00:11] RedXIII: well if you boot to the desktop you can use gparted to resize if you can't do it with the installer [00:11] That's what I'm doing now [00:11] I'm only familiar with KDE so this should be interesting. [00:11] lars__ if you're trying to crack wep and aircrack is giving you a hard time just get backtrack 4 and use gerix [00:11] it's much easier [00:11] for cracking wep [00:12] or wesside on backtrack 4 [00:12] My friend has a webcam, how do I view it with empaty? [00:12] ardchoille: what chat protocal are youguys using? [00:12] ok ill give it a shot thanx...also does it work for wpa and wpa2 keys [00:13] histo: yahoo [00:13] ardchoille: if yahoo supports it you will see a little camera next to his name in the buddy list [00:13] lars__ it does, but you need a dictionary file [00:13] cracking wpa is a lot different [00:14] lars__: wesside works just use that [00:14] and a lot of the time it's impossible by using current methods [00:14] or at the very least it would take years [00:14] to crack [00:14] lars__: it will search and find the nearest one or you can specify bssid and it does all the work for you [00:14] buenas amigos, saludos a todos... amigos una duda.. estoy intentando instalar java en ubuntu 10.04 beta y no he podido si alguien me puede ayudar le agradeceria muchisimo.. [00:14] if my ram is 8 gig and this is a server how much swap space should i assgn? [00:15] Wren88: make sure you use the server kernel [00:15] i do [00:15] Wren88: so you get pae support otherwise you'll only use 4gigs [00:15] intente de forma manual, descargando el paquete autoejecutable desde la pagina de java pero no funciona... es decir se instala sin problemas pero no funciona java [00:15] so 8 gig for the swap? [00:15] Wren88: is it a 64bit machine? [00:15] yeah [00:15] but yeah um...i'm having this really weird problem with youtube right now. anyone have any ideas? it doesn't think i have either the latest flash, or javascript enabled. i do have the latest flash and javascript is enabled. [00:16] what do i run to get it i cant find it in synaptic...i just tried "sudo apt-get install backtrack4> is that right? [00:16] Wren88: yeah thats fine I wouldn't go anything over that is unecessary you'll never really touch it anyways [00:16] Does anyone know of a way to fix/workaround the lcd monitor detection issue? I cant seem to get it to accept my settings even when I manually edit xorg.conf [00:16] Wren88, depends on what kind of load you're going to be running. I rarely do more than 2gb in the common case [00:16] if i backup my entire hd does root have the authority to restore everything, or just the stuff owned by root === william_ is now known as Guest26828 [00:16] http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ [00:16] Wren88: I would even go lower like 2gigs I don't even touch swap ever [00:16] what if i use hibernation? [00:16] bsmith093, root can restore everything. [00:16] Wren88: if you use hibernation i think you need to atleast match it. [00:16] even the normal user stuff [00:17] Wren88, ...ahh, in _that_ case you want your total RAM _plus_ 2gb [00:17] bsmith093: root can see everything. [00:17] thanks...! [00:17] \ok then thanks [00:17] bsmith093: the only way it couldn't is if your /home is encrypted or something. [00:17] oh wth [00:17] gparted failed on me. [00:17] its not [00:17] I'm confused on this partition thing. [00:18] hi everyone i said this in spanish so nobody understand me before, i'm trying to install java on my ubuntu 10.04 beta but i can't [00:18] can someone tell me how i hide my ip address whenn i enter a room ? [00:18] I have a winxp prof partition (/dev/sda1) and somehow unallocated space of 7.84 MB [00:18] RedXIII: here's what I would do. Boot XP then defrag the drive. Make sure you have a backup of your important files. Then boot live cd and resize the ntfs partition. [00:18] RedXIII: thats fine just resize /dev/sda1 [00:18] The system has to be defraged? [00:18] i already try manually, downloading the autopackage from java and installation go fine but doesn't work sorry about my english [00:18] I defragged recently but not after I deleted a crapload of files. [00:19] hello === keld is now known as Guest61703 [00:19] RedXIII: Its recomended and I would backup your important files first incase soemthing blows up. [00:19] how do I check which package owns a file? [00:19] !resize | RedXIII [00:19] Nothing important on the drive. [00:19] csgeek, dpkg -S [00:19] I -can't- resize the /dev/sda1. I tried to grow it to take up that extra 7MB and it said FAILED. [00:19] ubuntu 9.10, 64-bit AMD. my onboard NIC starts dropping packets whenever I install a Hauppauge 2250 TV tuner card. Any troubleshooting suggestions? [00:19] RedXIII: You would want to make it smaller to make room for ubuntu [00:19] and control center show me the option to install it but only says UPDATE, no say INSTALL thanks and sorry for my english again [00:19] !dualboot | RedXIII [00:19] RedXIII: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:19] hmm. I tried that.. didn't work. dpkg -S /usr/bin/qmake just says not found [00:20] do a full install and virtual box xp [00:20] any suggestions for an 802.11n pci card with solid support (and available in the US)? [00:20] csgeek: tyep in which qmake [00:20] histo: so empathy has webcam support compiled in? [00:20] hi there, someone are using google-chrome? i need to see permission of /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox [00:20] my screen is flickering when theres motion on it [00:20] csgeek: and what are you trying to do with it. [00:20] ardchoille: yes. [00:20] filo1234, you shouldn't, how you installing chrome? [00:21] got the nvidia proprietary drivers [00:21] This is a 2.5" sata drive if that means anything [00:21] btw. [00:21] filo1234: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 11K 2010-02-20 23:44 /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox [00:21] emes: linksys? [00:21] how would i go about completely removing firefox? selecting completely remove in synaptic and apt-get purge don't seem to be enough. [00:21] hello i have a hardware router question: when i reinstalled my winxp (dual boot with hardy) my dlink 615 router suddenly stopped working for wireless (wires is ok)...cannot get an IP in linux...doesnt matter if its NM or WICD [00:21] all my settings are still in tact when i reinstall it and my weird problem is still there. [00:21] Anyone know the date when 10.04 is due? [00:21] however once i reinstalled the router driver in XP it works again in linux [00:21] moosekaka: what type of wireless card do you have? [00:21] I tried following the guide on ubuntu. It gave me a partition fail [00:21] Much like gparted is now [00:21] moosekaka: the firmware is needed for your card. [00:21] broadcom 440 ?intel wireless pro [00:22] I'm just trying to know which packages ships / installs a file. [00:22] TannerF: some time in 04 0f 2010 (10.04) [00:22] RedXIII: try refragging [00:22] TannerF, we expect release on 29th of April (2010) [00:22] RedXIII: defragging sry [00:22] so firmware is stored on the router? confused [00:22] bobbo: thanks [00:22] histo: that's not especially helpful [00:22] workong on packaging something... actually helping someone package something [00:22] redxiii why noy try a full install and do xp on virtual [00:22] bobbo: why? i shoudn't?? i can but i saw that permission are setuid in chrome-sandbox -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 11272 2010-03-24 19:23 /opt/google/chrome an i like to know if it is correct [00:22] csgeek: dpkg -l | grep qmake [00:22] lsj85: Its a laptop [00:22] histo: Thank you :) [00:22] with like 1gig of memory [00:22] moosekaka: no the firmware for your wireless card is the issue [00:22] VB isn't a great idea for these system specs [00:22] filo1234, did you install from a tarball of the (semi-official) chromium ppa? [00:22] s/of/or/ [00:23] moosekaka: the driver loads the firmware so it doesn't work unless its present [00:23] bobbo: .deb from google [00:23] I virtualbox windows on my kubuntu machine, but that's about it. [00:23] !wireless | moosekaka [00:23] moosekaka: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:23] i got mine set up like that got 25 gigs for xp professional [00:23] on virtual [00:23] filo1234, could you !pastebin the exact error message you get? [00:23] !who | RedXIII [00:23] RedXIII: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:24] histo: lol I'll try defragging now [00:24] bobbo: i don't have errors, i only curious to know if that permissions are correct, bobbo do you have google-chrome? [00:24] Hi. I've just got a quick question. If shows 3 users, but only one user besides root exists, how f*cked am I? and who's no. 3? [00:24] im just confused why i needed to run the install driver CD for the router in xp before linux could get the router to work...short answer is that firmware wasnt loaded? but how can linux know where the firmware for the driver is since i installed in XP [00:24] I don't know if it'll clear my issues though. [00:25] filo1234, I used to have chromium from a semi-official PPA [00:25] lol my uptime shows 5 users [00:25] i'm the only one on . . . how do i know which users are logged in? [00:25] moosekaka: the issue is most likely that your card works fine in Xp but doesn't in linux. Has nothign to do with the router [00:25] nice.. why tho? [00:25] lakeoftea: are you logged in the ttys? [00:25] lakeoftea: and who in a console will tell you [00:25] Hey, Does anyone knoes any mexican channel? [00:25] bobbo: can i see your ls -l /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox ? please? [00:25] !es > EduardoRT [00:25] EduardoRT, please see my private message [00:25] well it works fine now in linux after i reinstalled the drivers in xp [00:25] filo1234, I didn't have it installed in /opt [00:26] Thanks [00:26] thats whats confusing me....everything i did in xp is on a separate partition [00:26] filo1234, I'ma BRB then I'll PM you , okay? [00:26] moosekaka: So the card didn't work in xp untill you isntalled what? [00:26] bobbo: ok [00:26] the driver CD that came with the dlink 615 router...in xp [00:26] moosekaka: buy a linksys wrt54gl and flash it with tomato 1.27 (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato). you'll be happy then. [00:26] .dmrc file being ignored [00:26] moosekaka: thats not a driver cd. Routers don't have drivers [00:27] moosekaka: its probably a setup disk that you don't really need. [00:27] taylor jb: im happy now everything works :) just confused why i had to do something in XP first before it wor [00:27] worked in linux [00:27] 9.9 [00:27] moosekaka: your cd ffor the router probably blew out whatever settings where causing the issue with the router [00:28] how do i turn off the announcements of people logging in and leaving a room? im using irssi in ubuntu 9.10.. [00:28] moosekaka: but you don't need the cd you can point a browser at the IP of the router to configure it. [00:28] forestlurks: /help ignore [00:28] histo: hmmn interesting but still i did the CD thing on the NTFS partition...if nothing is stored on the router how can it fix the issue for linux? [00:29] is there file in ubuntu in case of power failure and on batteries hibernate after x amount of time? [00:29] forestlurks: also there is #irssi [00:29] moosekaka, may be rubbish what I'm talking, but I think sometimes hardware gets locked by an OS [00:29] moosekaka: becuase the Router settings got changed when you ran the cd. [00:29] moosekaka, happened to me with some network card or modem some time ago [00:30] thanks histo === sixday is now known as sevenDay [00:30] hmm, I kind of like this ubuntu netbook edition... [00:30] Thanks histo [00:30] ubutom: he's not having a card issue but a router issue he thinks. Thats what I was trying to explain originally that firmware on some wifi cards is loaded by the drivers. [00:30] router settings: where are they stored? on the host computer? becos the wireless is on my laptop....and the router is connected to a PC [00:30] does anybody knows if there is an ubuntu netbook specific IRC channel? [00:31] histo, yeah, but it could be the samething, other OS doesn't terminate the device right and next OS can't use it === francesco is now known as thisguykills [00:31] hi [00:31] jeffesquivel: /msg alis list *searchterm* [00:31] can anyone help a noobie? [00:31] is there file in ubuntu in case of power failure and on batteries hibernate after x amount of time? [00:31] jeffesquivel, not as far as I know, are you having an issue with Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [00:31] ubutom: well its a firmware issue that you are described causing the locking. [00:32] thisguykills: only if you ask a question :) [00:32] I can't seem to copy and paste a file in terminal :\ [00:32] thisguykills: are you in X? [00:32] Gnome [00:32] how do i get my window borders back after removing netbook remix ? [00:32] thisguykills: ctrl+shift+c to copy [00:32] thisguykills: okay highlight text and then middle mouse button to paste [00:32] histo, yeah, did dual boot while having that issue, I think it was an internal NIc or modem, don't remember exactly [00:32] !question | thisguykills [00:32] thisguykills: 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. :-) [00:32] ok thanks i did get a message when i was running the router setup cd asking me for a username and password [00:32] bobbo, not issues... just wanted to know if it is possible to add panels to i [00:32] t [00:32] . [00:33] well I need to copy a file to /usr/bin/ to change my toolbar look [00:33] thisguykills: or you can ctrl+shft+c and ctrl+shfit+v [00:33] It won't give me permission [00:33] thisguykills: mv /tis/file /to/here [00:33] thisguykills: open both files or echo one to the other [00:33] jeffesquivel, add "categories" to UNR? [00:33] !sudo | thisguykills [00:33] thisguykills: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [00:33] for future ref....its possible to configure the router directly in linux by specifying the IP? [00:33] . [00:33] thisguykills: sudo mv /source/file /destination/file [00:34] ok thanks let me try [00:34] bobbo, i mean, applets [00:34] jeffesquivel, add applets to the UNR top panel? [00:34] Excuse me, I've been hacking away for hours trying to get my monitor's resolution to be correctly recognized. This just recently happened, Can someone help? [00:34] bobbo, yep [00:34] mv is move right? I thought he wanted to copy [00:34] rdvonz: what type of video card? [00:34] bobbo, i'm using lucid beta 1, just in case it matters [00:34] histo: Onboard video card [00:34] jeffesquivel, I've not used UNR for a while but have you tired right clicking on the top panel? [00:34] rdvonz: yeah what chipset? [00:35] rdvonz: lspci | grep VGA [00:35] im trying to get my xchat to display a different when inserted respond in the chat room [00:35] bobbo, first thing I tried :-) [00:35] jeffesquivel, towards the top right, if you right click it may ask you to add to panel? [00:35] histo: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] [00:35] rdvonz: ughh [00:35] oh wow... an s3 [00:35] histo: I know. [00:35] ancient [00:36] bobbo, I tried to right click on an "empty" space on the panel [00:36] i think i have one out in the garage XD [00:36] rdvonz: I'm trying to remember what I had to do with mine I had an old pc with one of those. [00:36] bobbo, but didn't get the usual menu [00:36] rdvonz: I think the s3 driver was blacklisted on default ubuntu installe [00:36] the one I get on ubuntu classic [00:36] jeffesquivel, that's weird, it should work the normal way [00:36] . [00:36] jeffesquivel, seems like a bug to me [00:36] i tried ubuntu on a 500mhz celery once.. big mistake. heh [00:37] Hello everyone! I'll ask right away: I just replaced OpenJDK with sun-java6-*, and I changed the value of JAVA_HOME in /etc/environment. Now how do I tell Gnome to "refresh" its environment without logging off? [00:37] lol celery [00:37] another thing....i wished windows had a /home partition......everytime i reinstall my OS i have to reinstall everything.....eventhough i have my USERS folder on another partition it is not trivial to reuse it :( [00:37] histo: Take your time, I've been at this for hours. :'( [00:37] rdvonz: let me do some searching hold up [00:37] i always call 'em celeries [00:37] thanks guys it worked [00:37] !windows | moosekaka [00:37] moosekaka: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [00:37] bobbo, I read somewhere that is how UNR panel works... just wanted to know if someone knew some easy hack or something (like the one to have multiple workspaces) [00:38] 9.10 runs on my nettop ok [00:38] . [00:38] I have a program that is a countdown to a date in the future. How would I do something like the telnet star wars (telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl), so when a user telnets to my ip, they get just the output of this program? I suspect that inetd is involved somehow. [00:38] sorry not meant to go OT [00:38] jeffesquivel, unfortunately not, if you need a bunch of customisation I think you'll need the main ubuntu-desktop instead of UNR [00:38] whats the eta for Lucid? [00:39] !lucid [00:39] jeffesquivel, I think UNR is for the most basic netbook stuff e :) [00:39] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [00:39] Wren88, 29th April 2010 [00:39] rdvonz: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-s3/+question/82244 [00:39] ty [00:39] jophish, several ways to do it; my favorite is tcpsvd (from the "runit" package) [00:39] bobbo xD [00:39] rdvonz: also I found a thread discussing the 9.10 issue [00:40] rdvonz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337333 [00:40] nDuff, and that would allow people to telnet to my ip and see the programs output? [00:40] Anyone have a few mins to help me out [00:40] !ask > Lajosward [00:40] Lajosward, please see my private message [00:40] !ask | Lajosward [00:40] Lajosward: 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. :-) [00:40] jophish, if you tell tcpsvd to connect port 23 to your program, yes [00:40] bobbo, ok, thanks! [00:40] histo: Thanks, I'm just baffled as to why this happened a week after installing. It was working fine at 1280x1024 resolution before.. [00:40] bobbo, I think the interface is really useful small screens [00:40] what's the best way to get firefox 3.5 in Hardy? http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/193/installing-firefox-3-5-in-ubuntu-the-easy-way ? [00:40] rdvonz: upgrade to one of the X packages probably [00:41] Hi, I am using gnome and want to change the function of what F10 does when i am in a terminal window. When I press F10, it selects the window of the menu. This is causing me problems when I use jed to write c programs because F10 is used in jed to open its text-based menu. [00:41] . [00:41] well, I could forward port 23 on the router to anything on the server [00:41] bobbo, and I like it... the thing is, I am used to some of the functionality I have on my laptop [00:41] jophish, ...hrm, let me amend that -- it's actually in "ipsvd", a separate package from runit (though they're from the same author and often used together) [00:41] anyone good with xchat? [00:41] rdvonz: you could try rolling back if you figure otu which package. most like xserver-video-s3 or somethign like that. [00:41] and thanks very much nDuff [00:41] bobbo, :-) [00:41] Wren88, yeah, why? [00:41] Wren88: please ask, there is also #xchat if nobody here can help [00:41] craigbass1976: why can't you just download it from mozilla.org? get the .bz2 package, all it needs is unzip and run, no install required [00:41] rdvonz: you may have the old package in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [00:41] sprung, just go to menu and deactivate show menubar [00:41] histo: Wow, the forum thread you sent me is the EXACT same thing that's happening too me. Even the same distro. [00:41] jophish, ...docs for both at http://smarden.org/runit/ and http://smarden.org/ipsvd/ [00:42] tyranos, good idea, didnt think of that [00:42] I am wanting to have a bottom screen like this one http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=72425&file1=72425-1.png&file2=72425-2.png&file3=72425-3.png&name=Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack and not sure how to go about it [00:42] sounds good. Thanks again [00:42] jeffesquivel, I love UNR it's just *too* simple some of the time [00:42] well everytime i type a response a it shows in gray front I tried messing with the colors but no good [00:42] sprung, i had the same problem :) [00:42] bobbo, ies [00:42] *yes [00:42] I'm having some problems installing ubuntu 9.10 server on my server. It fails to install grub2 (may be caused by my fake-raid setup). [00:42] bobbo: you can use normal gnome instead of the UNR interface its just running on top of gnome [00:42] Hi there - I just talked with a nice guy over at the LXDE channel anf found out that my pcmanfm for LXDE is outdated, how would I get the newer version? [00:42] Any suggestions as to what I may do? [00:42] Wren88: that is the default behavior [00:43] Wren88: what IdleOne said [00:43] nwillems: is there a problem witht he version you have? [00:43] nDuff, it seems at the basic level to do exactly the same thing as inetd [00:43] nwillems: you can use thunar, its lightweight too [00:43] so it changeable? === TMK is now known as Guest81676 [00:43] !backports | nwillems [00:43] nwillems: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [00:43] invokes a program on a socket connection, with stdin and stdout as the socket [00:43] If i download an application from add/remove programs, does it automatically grab the right one? 32/64bit? [00:43] histo, yes, UNR is a modified gnome, except it ues a repacement for gnome-panel which means that a bunch of gnome-panel functionality foesn't work [00:43] patrick__: yes [00:43] patrick__: yes [00:43] Typos_King, can I run flash and everything without installing it? [00:43] arand, histo I love you guys :] [00:44] sprung: System > preferences > keyboard shortcut [00:44] Typos_King, and will it import my 3.0 profile? [00:44] Wren88: ask in #xchat, they would know [00:44] craigbass1976: that doesn't include flash, no, you can install flash from the repositories though [00:44] Wren88: /join #xchat [00:44] I'm having some problems installing ubuntu 9.10 server on my server. It fails to install grub2 (may be caused by my fake-raid setup). It just pops up with a menu displaying the install-order (and I might select what I wan't it to do), but installing grub just returns to that menu. [00:44] Anyone know how i can make my bottom bar graphical instead of the bar that it is now? [00:44] Hey guys. What's the defualt MYSQL password in ubuntu 9.10 ? It won't let me log in, but I was never the guy that set it up. It was default with ubuntu 9.10 [00:44] histo: Yes, the version I'm running is 0.5.1 and the LXDE peps have released 0.5.2 as a "bugfix" for shared-mime-info version 0.7, so it would be nice if 0.5.2 of pcmanfm was std in ubuntu repos [00:44] thanks [00:44] Lajosward: you can customize it however youw ant. [00:45] freeman, graphical? [00:45] bobbo, and I think something like workspaces is even more useful on small screens [00:45] freeman, sorry wrong person [00:45] http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=72425&file1=72425-1.png&file2=72425-2.png&file3=72425-3.png&name=Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack [00:45] Typos_King, and it will run in a "not installed" instance of FF? Just seems weird [00:45] Lajosward: there is an eyecandy / desktop customization section of the forums [00:45] lol [00:45] Lajosward, graphical? [00:45] that coz [00:45] at the bottom [00:45] jeffesquivel, IIRC workspaces exist in UNR, if not it's definitely a bug [00:45] Lajosward: there are dock applications to do that. [00:45] Lajosward, I am not sure what you mean by g [00:45] ok ty [00:45] Alxandr: if i recall, you can't install grub on a fake-raid disk [00:45] coz_: he means like the mac doc [00:46] histo, mm [00:46] What? [00:46] Lajosward, oh an actual dock? [00:46] yes [00:46] Lajosward, cairo dock [00:46] Then how can I have the fakeRAID then? [00:46] ty [00:46] craigbass1976: no, but you can get the libflashplayer.so file and drop it in the /usr/lib/mozilla plugins folder and that'll do [00:46] Lajosward: or docky [00:46] ola [00:46] Lajosward: there is also avant window navigator and others [00:46] either better or is that a intel amd question? [00:47] Alxandr: you need to make a partition just for /boot and install grub to that [00:47] brasil [00:47] On a separate hdd? [00:47] Lajosward: I would see the comments on gnome-look people usually list what they are running to achieve the effect. also the forums [00:47] is there an easy way to extract the source code (c++) from a tarball ? if I did the configure, is this plain c++ then (if it was written in, sure) ? [00:47] no inge [00:47] bobbo, they do... but you need to "activate" them (change their number) through gconf-editor [00:48] sory to anyone I'm helping but I gotta go to bed [00:48] bobbo, and I can't get the applet (so I can change workspaces using the mouse, not just the keyboard shortcut) [00:48] !br | swat_ [00:48] swat_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:48] Alxandr: it can be the disk as the fake-raid. i normally make a 200MB ext3 /boot partition [00:48] bobbo, ok, good night... thanks! [00:48] DasEi: it should be after youe xtract the tar should be plain c [00:48] goodnight all, if you need to contact me I'm at bobbo [at] ubuntu [dot] com [00:48] histo: thanks, trying [00:48] DasEi: chances are, it's, just unzip it or untar it:) [00:48] my god i've forgotten how to use english >.< [00:48] yup [00:48] bobbo: huh? [00:49] aetaric: How do I set that up? I choose to enable the fakeraid-controller in the installation of ubuntu before selecting partitions... [00:49] heheh [00:49] how can i reg my name on this ? [00:49] bobbo: how do you have a ubuntu.com mail address? [00:49] !register > Lajosward [00:49] Lajosward, please see my private message [00:49] Lajosward, type /msg nickserv help [00:49] histo: anti-spider-eavesdropping email I gather heheh [00:49] histo: bobbo is an ubuntu/member [00:50] Alxandr: you would have to setup a partition in the partition manager before you even get to the copying files stage. [00:50] IdleOne: can i pm you? [00:50] ty coz that reminded me [00:50] hay guyz. [00:50] Lajosward, no problem [00:50] histo: sure :) [00:50] histo, I'm an Ubuntu developer so I've been rewarded with an uber epic email address :P [00:50] aetaric: That's ok, but before the partition-stage there is the raid stage.... [00:50] how do I remove a kernel? The newest kernel for jaunty doesnt let my video work. [00:50] histo: You saved me from going into a ballistic rage and possibly throwing my monitor out the window. You are the best! Thank you! [00:50] histo, whats up? You helped me with wireless the other day. [00:51] aetaric: Anyway, can I setup software-raid0 in linux? Than I can just don't use the fakeRAID... === Fuze is now known as MJ94 [00:52] Alxandr: yeah you can setup software raid. just make a /boot partition to boot off of. [00:52] But does softwareraid support raid0? [00:52] it better [00:52] i love how ubuntu handles files as fast [00:53] i'm not sure. >.< [00:53] <3 [00:53] Alxandr, yes [00:54] Any guid of how to install my server and setup raid0 (software-raid)? [00:54] Alxandr, ...though why you'd consider halving your MTBF just to get some extra speed unless you're doing video editing is a different discussion [00:54] rdvonz_: np [00:54] Roasted: hola === MJ94 is now known as fuze === fuze is now known as Fuze [00:54] Roasted: what type of video card? [00:54] nDuff: I'm not sertain of whata you mean... [00:55] histo, There's an ATI sticker on it - that's all I know. [00:55] Roasted: did you try going to System > admin > hardware drivers? [00:55] hey money [00:55] histo, I had to use jaunty on it since karmic cant handle the wireless on it. I have the .14 kernel and it works (or .11 or something). If I go to the newest kernel I get nothing. [00:55] what [00:55] what's cookin? [00:55] histo, let me boot back into the other kernel and check it out. Im 99% positive the only restricted driver available was a modem driver. [00:55] im using karmic [00:55] Roasted: how did you install the drivers in .11 [00:55] on dell mini 9 [00:56] any questions, let me know [00:56] histo, what drivers? I didn't install anything on .11 [00:56] Alxandr, MTBF -- mean time between failure; you're setting yourself up to lose data if either of two drives fails, meaning you're twice as likely to have a random failure as only one non-RAIDed drive [00:56] !ati | Roasted [00:56] Roasted: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:56] Trying to figure out what to do with a grub error [00:56] Roasted: using the proper driver will solve most of yoru issues [00:56] Moshpet, what Grub error number? [00:56] Roasted: the other option is to just remove the .14 kernel and lock it at the .11 or whatever works [00:57] histo, I think I may do that... just remove the newer driver. First le tme see if drivers are available. [00:57] Roasted: to figure otu what ati card you have try lspci | grep VGA [00:57] It didn't give me a number, it just gives a command line with grub infront of it. [00:57] nDuff: Well. Problem is, I have 2 drives that isn't too big.. But I might make it with what I have though :-) [00:57] danes_ no part time jobs your end.. this needs to go into ##foobar&grill though [00:57] does anyone know yum [00:57] yes, i do [00:57] Roasted: pay special attention to the if your card is newer or older in the fglrx section of the wiki [00:57] nDuff: So, for now I just install into 1 disk? And separate out a /boot partition on its own? [00:57] !anyone > dailystruggle [00:57] dailystruggle, please see my private message [00:57] what is your question [00:58] Out of the many linux distros I've used Ubuntu is the friendliest [00:58] has anyone gotten android source to compile on 9.10 [00:58] Alxandr: if you use just one disc, don't bother [00:58] ubuntu is the friendliest [00:58] however, 9.10 is hte strongest release [00:58] histo, the only hardware drivers are alternate atheros madwifi driver and software modem. :( [00:58] i think we need to provide feedback to the developers on 10.04 [00:58] yum: a word we say when food tastes good [00:59] they made an awful choice of usplash and window themes [00:59] Centos is not too user friendly even for a sysadmin [00:59] Roasted: install madwifi? [00:59] aetaric: One disk isnt' big enough to all that I need on the server. But it shouldn't be too big a problem to maintain the OS on one disk. [00:59] magicianlord, idk i was really please with like 9.04. i got ticked off at a few chanegs in 9.10 [00:59] Alxandr, if your problem is capacity, not speed, you might consider using LVM; an unstriped LV spanning two PVs will give you the capacity you're looking for, but with a better chance of data being recoverable in the case of a failure than if everything had been striped. [00:59] aetaric, I'm dealing with a graphics issue - not the wifi issue. That's a whole other story in itself. [00:59] pvl1: i understand. however, 9.10 is faster and more stable [00:59] ext4 is better implemented [00:59] magicianlord, in that id probably agree [00:59] magic_ninja420, than what? 9.04? [00:59] errrr not magic_ninja420 [00:59] rossco: did you get the link for the wiki [00:59] magicianlord, [00:59] i primarily used crunchbang 9.04 [01:00] Roasted: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto#ATI%20%28fglrx%29 [01:00] nDuff: Thank you, will do. [01:00] magicianlord, crunchbang? [01:00] and now use 9.10 gnome on this pc, along with archbang (arch with openbox) on another [01:00] magicianlord: 10.04 is really fast [01:00] yes [01:00] pvl1: crunchbang is a custom ubuntu distro running openbox [01:00] oh [01:00] crunchbang is jaunty with openbox [01:00] kewl [01:00] Alxandr, ...also, as long as you use LVM, you can install on just one drive now, and expand the VG and LV to include another drive later when you need more space [01:00] pvl1: #! [01:00] histo, its a radeon xpress 200m [01:00] magicianlord: what did I get cesured because I said anyone? [01:01] dailystruggle: floodbot probably [01:01] Roasted: then you follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [01:01] need a censure update [01:01] needs [01:01] nDuff: That means if I buy new drive and pop it in, I can expand to that too later? [01:01] Alxandr, yup [01:01] i do think 10.04 is fast [01:02] magicianlord: it was from histo [01:02] but whether its faster than 9.10, i dont know yet [01:02] BIOS says "cannot find drive 1" [01:02] oh ok === francesco is now known as thisguykills [01:02] nDuff: "Amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning:"? [01:02] Hi, what program do I need to install screenlets? [01:02] all? [01:02] Roasted: or you can try using envyng to install appropriate drivers [01:02] !envy > Roasted [01:02] Roasted, please see my private message [01:03] Alxandr, I'm not very familiar with the current installer, but I'd presume that would be asking if you wanted to leave unallocated space in the volume group [01:03] magicianlord: is there a good resource for yum that you know of [01:03] histo, maybe Ill try envy-ng. I forgot that was still around. [01:03] does anyone know? [01:03] thisguykills: sudo apt-get install screenlets === hexdump is now known as hexdump_ [01:03] ok thanks [01:03] ive recently installed backtraack, so ima be learning that. but i run ubunyu almost exclusivly on all my pc's [01:03] Alxandr, ...that can be useful if you want to use features like snapshots, but from what I understand of your use case, it's probably not what you're looking to do here. [01:03] Roasted: well its updated [01:03] Roasted: envy was never supported but envy-ng is i guess. I haven't played with it in ages. [01:03] dailystruggle: there should be a wiki on yum use, or you can always look up the manual in terminal by typing "man yum" [01:04] pvl1: well you'll find linux is pretty much linus [01:04] pvl1: just different package managers and versions of packages etc... [01:04] yeah [01:04] magicianlord: I did that [01:04] pvl1: you can do all the stuff on backtrack on ubuntu [01:04] ive been playing with linux since ive been like 12 [01:04] not enough for you? [01:04] pvl1: they jsut put all the tools in one nice place. [01:04] histo, i know, but its preinstalled with all that, and i dont wanna be root on this ubunut all the time bc i got fiels here [01:05] dailystruggle: what are you trying to do with yum? [01:05] histo, im sure once i learn lots bout backtrack ima just do w.e i wanna on bt, on ubuntu [01:05] magicianlord: no the practical uses like update and repolist are very diff [01:05] ok dailystruggle [01:05] manage a server [01:05] in that case, sorry [01:05] dailystruggle: is it a fedora server? [01:05] centos [01:06] <_EnigmaCJ> is this an english room? [01:06] i am only familiar with the client userend of yum [01:06] dailystruggle: #centos channel would probably be a great help [01:06] _EnigmaCJ, yup [01:06] thanks [01:06] _enig [01:06] the only thing i can tell you though, is that yum is very slow on solid state drives, compared to, for example, apt or pacman [01:06] <_EnigmaCJ> cause i wanted to ask if someone could help me install an xchat theme [01:06] fyi [01:06] _EnigmaCJ: yes its english room [01:06] _EnigmaCJ: from termial: sudo apt-get install xchat [01:07] _EnigmaCJ: /j #xchat [01:07] can someone help me reinstall my sound card? [01:07] magicjoe: what do you mean reinstall? [01:07] magicjoe: the drivers are loaded by the kernel [01:07] well, it was working....now its not [01:07] <_EnigmaCJ> Like i wanted to change my xchat theme [01:07] _EnigmaCJ, y cant u install it [01:07] its not recognized any more [01:07] _EnigmaCJ, do u already have the theme u want [01:07] <_EnigmaCJ> yep [01:07] magicjoe: what do you mean its not recognized anymore? by what application? [01:08] magicjoe and i are brothers [01:08] _EnigmaCJ, i believe u just gotta move it to ~~/.xchat2/ (/home/username/.xchat2 [01:08] * ~/.xchat2/ (/home/username/.xchat2 [01:08] when i go to system preferences sound [01:08] <_EnigmaCJ> let me see [01:08] the hardware tab [01:08] _EnigmaCJ, just ~/.xchat2 [01:08] doesn't show my sound card [01:08] im glad that pulseaudio is now working properly in linux [01:08] for hte most part [01:09] took a few updates, eh [01:09] How can I empty all trash folders from anywhere on my system from the command line?

[01:09] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1: ok, I'll restart xchat, thanx [01:09] magicjoe, y do u need it [01:09] _EnigmaCJ, np [01:09] i know, histo [01:09] !sound | magicjoe [01:09] magicjoe: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[01:10] hi, im running ubuntu 9.10 on a system that only has ubuntu, and grub wont show to allow me to select a kernel to boot, it just boots the latest one or something, how can i make grub wait and let me choose the kernel?

[01:15] xangua: people report HTML5 Youtube on WebkitGTK browsers though but I don't seem to find the right gstreamer plugin [01:15] _EnigmaCJ, then move the theme files into that folder [01:15] Miraculix: right....the ones you'd see are in IFs..... sooo yeah. 15.... that'd be it :) [01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> I already tryied [01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> without success [01:15] Roasted: envyng-gtk ina a terminal should bring it up [01:15] is there anything else in that folder? [01:15] Roasted: or hitting alt+F2 === BigJB- is now known as bigjb [01:15] <_EnigmaCJ> it just changes the font colors but it should look like this: wait [01:16] <_EnigmaCJ> http://t0x.in/images/xcdt-scr01.png [01:16] Things were going ok until I put the Nvidia official drivers it recommended and then uhhh. The screen periodically flashes black for a split second [01:16] Airris: did you install nvidia drivers from jockey or pac manager? [01:16] jockey is almost useless [01:16] Miraculix: the part where it goes too fast it won't give you a choice is cuz between the poweron and the boot screen, I think grub2 counts that for the timer, so by the time you get there, the10secs which is the default won't give enough time, I changed it to 30 [01:16] does anyone know how to configure compiz so i can command tab to cycle thru open applications? (not windows) as in osx? [01:17] patrick__, edit the key bindidings in ccsm [01:17] magicianlord: I clicked on that icon near top right of GUI that popped up, is that jockey? [01:17] patrick__: there is a compiz plugin manager [01:17] Miraculix: unless you have a lightning fast poweron and boot screen period :) [01:17] patrick__: hit tab [01:17] Airris: yes, thats the frontend for it [01:17] that doesnt properly install [01:17] !ccsm | patrick__ [01:17] patrick__: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [01:17] <_EnigmaCJ> i'm back [01:17] magicianlord, the only video drivers included in the kernel proper are framebuffer drivers, which aren't exactly high-performance [01:17] My friend wants to know how to get her webcam hooked up so empathy can streamit. [01:17] use synaptic package manager to install the nvidia drivers [01:18] she has the cam installed and empathy installed [01:18] ardchoille: plug it in. [01:18] ardchoille: then it should work. [01:18] histo: doesn't seem to be doing anything after that [01:18] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1: thanks, it didnt work but it is not such important [01:18] magicianlord: hmm, that's odd, but ok, so just do apt-get for the relevant package? [01:18] nDuff: so the intel drivers installed by ubuntu are supplmentary, outside the main kernel? [01:18] supplementary [01:18] <_EnigmaCJ> wow I like to talk on english rooms [01:18] ardchoille: i've noticed my friends show up with little cam icons next to their name if they are availible for video chat. [01:19] pvll aetaric histo i have that, I just was wondering which effect does open apps, rather than windows, and i cant seem to assign the keystroke command tab. only command and button 1-9 [01:19] _idk. i think it should work fine [01:19] ** _EnigmaCJ [01:19] histo: she is trying to get her webcamto work in empathy, so far empathy has bo way of connecting to the cam [01:19] also if scale and expo can be used at the same time [01:19] magicianlord, X11 (the windowing system) is _entirely_ separate from the kernel [01:19] what im asking is [01:19] <_EnigmaCJ> pvl1, ;) [01:20] ardchoille: I've noticed people on google seem to have cams show up on my list [01:20] very stupid question to just double check something : apt-get is a front-end for synaptic? [01:20] ardchoille: maybe a yahoo problem? [01:20] Airris, other way around [01:20] histo: Ah, that may be it [01:20] Airris: the other way around [01:21] ahhh [01:21] but using either one will work for putting the drivers on *correctly* ? [01:21] yes [01:21] its just easier in synaptic [01:21] psh [01:21] Typos_King, no dice even with 30 [01:21] i like apt-get more [01:21] i do too [01:21] I've gotten to accustomed to commandline [01:21] but for installing drivers [01:21] so much source code compiling [01:21] you have to know your poopie [01:21] lol [01:22] fo real, dawg [01:22] hi [01:22] i use apt for most things [01:22] i setup a new system [01:22] what are buttons 4-9 in compiz config for bindings? [01:22] it says Broadcom B43 drivers installed in the driver manager [01:22] except removing old kernals or installing drivers [01:22] yea, maybe i'll use synaptic this time. Ok thanks [01:22] I know 1-3 are mouse buttons [01:22] if this solves the problem i'll be quite happy [01:22] iwconfig shows it works [01:22] Miraculix: can you paste grub.cfg? to a pastebin that is [01:22] meoblast001: it lies to you [01:22] if not... I'll be back in here in 10 minutes :P [01:22] patrick__, 4 and 5 are scrolling up and down [01:22] but no networks show up in the network manager [01:22] hehe [01:22] sure thing Typos_King [01:22] meoblast001: you need to install it from synaptic [01:22] magicianlord: i did [01:22] or command line [01:22] <_EnigmaCJ> anyone know some cool irc chats? [01:22] im trying to assign super+tab, but i only am given the option of command / super and buttons 1-9 [01:23] oh rly [01:23] pvl1, thanks for that [01:23] not workign for you? [01:23] magicianlord: then i restarted to check if it worked, and it didn't, so i checked driver manager [01:23] _EnigmaCJ: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:23] yes? [01:23] magicianlord: so i ran iwconfig, and it said there was a device [01:23] <_EnigmaCJ> aetaric, thanks [01:23] patrick__, which compiz options are u in [01:23] oh [01:23] what is the best and simplest way to burn .avi files to dvd+r dl discs? [01:23] well, installing it shoudl work [01:23] magicianlord: everything says it works, but it isn't actually detecting our network [01:23] you could also install it from the files on broadcom's site [01:23] maybe its a network problem? [01:24] histo, how do I set it so I boot to .11 by default and no other kernels are in the mix? I don't want to pull down kernels during regular updates or anything, and even if I do, I want .11 [01:24] what's the network utility for browsing wireless networks? [01:24] Hmm. I am having random crashes on my ubuntu server and there's nothing in /var/log/messages that reveals anything... Any hints on how to find the problem? [01:24] meoblast001, network manager [01:24] Roasted: the console one [01:24] pvl1, currently: static application switcher-next window group bindings [01:24] Typos_King, http://pastebin.com/uAXaaxVR [01:24] patrick__, hime a sec [01:24] meoblast001: on gnome, it is "network manager." on xfce, it's "wicd" [01:24] ok, i have the gnome one [01:25] it shows nothing for wireless networks [01:25] pvl1, thank a ton! [01:25] I've installed a Debian kernel with `dpkg' to get Xen support; now when I try to install things with `aptitude', it comes up with solutions that remove the Xen kernel. [01:25] my butt hurts from sitting in this chair [01:25] How can I get it to leave this kernel alone? === jwage is now known as jonwage [01:26] I'm having a bit of a problem using inetd. I can start it up in debug mode, and it reports: "registered /usr/bin/helloworld on 5", however when I try to connect to it from my desktop, I get connection refused. [01:26] patrick__, are u sure u want the group settings? [01:27] pvl1, although im not sure if im in the correct panel. I want to use alt-tab to cycle thru all windows on current space (currently working) or all spacs (optimal) and command/super tab to switch btw open applications. [01:27] pvl1, so im not sure, you tell me [01:27] Does anyone know why the gnome power manager setting to shutdown when the power is critical does NOT work? is this a bug? === jonwage is now known as jwage [01:27] It has never worked in Ubuntu === jwage is now known as jonwage [01:27] hosts.allow has ALL:192.168.0.0/225.225.225.0 [01:27] Does anybody know if Lucid is supposed to have better all around wireless support? I'm curious if there's any documentation on it I could read about, since it seems a few issues have been brought up with Karmic. Curious if any are fixed. [01:28] patrick__, so u want alt-tab for all windows and super-tab for only open windows? [01:28] Roasted: only way to find out for your particular situation is to try it via live usb. [01:28] Im sure lots of bugs will have been fixed in lucid. [01:28] hola amigos [01:28] i prefer the icon set in karmic [01:28] black and white is nice [01:28] pvl1, no, alt tab for all windows and super tab for all applications [01:28] hello friend [01:28] pvl1, is there such a beast? [01:29] lol [01:29] xD [01:29] hey guys [01:29] what? [01:29] hey man [01:29] im so happy because [01:29] Typos_King, anything? [01:29] why? [01:29] magicianlord, can't. the particular system I'm trying doesn't USB boot - however I tried a liveCD and it seemed VERY buggy, since it would freeze whenever I'd get it fired up. However after 15 tries I managed to try my wireless and Lucid (as of the daily build today) didn't solve the issue. [01:29] patrick__, im not sure what the difference is. u mean like super tab to open applications? [01:29] i bought a pair of $5 koss headphones at walmart [01:29] and i thought they would be garbag [01:29] but they rock [01:29] lol [01:29] !ot | magicianlord [01:29] magicianlord: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:30] ok xangua, relax === hexdump is now known as hexdump_ [01:30] just installed karmic 9.10 - i made the stupid mistake of using the nvidia drivers in the live environment while i was installing [01:30] Anyone grok wireless? I've got ndiswrapper working (device shows in ndiswrapper -l), iwconfig shows the device (wlan0) and I can apply settings to it, but gnome-network-manager won't let me connect in at all (connect button greyed out) [01:30] Miraculix: http://paste2.org/p/743301 [01:30] hehe :) [01:30] pvl1, well, alt tab shows me all open windows, so i can see all windows from all applications, where super tab would switch between apps only. so if an app has multiple windows/panels it will show up as a single icon [01:30] z449: have you installed 'windows xp' drivers thru ndiswrapper¿ === chromed is now known as chrome [01:30] pvl1, does that make sense? [01:30] so the /etc/X11/xorg.conf expects the nvidia module which isn't there... hence i need to apt-get it. [01:31] Would someone make an offiial request to the Lucid developers to use a less fruity usplash animation and less purple? [01:31] @xangua yes to installing the windows driver. Found some decent instructions online [01:31] Seriously. [01:31] patrick__, oooh yeah i get u now, sorry just trying to clear it up [01:31] ah so you mean outside and after all the if/elses? [01:31] Miraculix: sooo, comment out the if/else and instead add your own assignmet [01:31] yes [01:31] okeydokey [01:31] the catch is i don't know how to bring up the wireles networking from the command line in ubuntu (i'm on as superuser via sudo -i) and i plugged in a cable, but there is no /dev/eth0 d; [01:32] MidComMobile: http://blog.tplus1.com/index.php/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/ [01:32] xangua: ndiswrapper -l shows: "bcmwl5 : driver installed \n device (14E4:4319) present (alternate driver: ssb) [01:32] I think the boot uses Plymouth now instead of usplash. Not sure though. [01:32] Typos_King: :D [01:33] Craig_Dem: yes [01:33] pvl1, dont be sorry for being awesome and trying to help me for free ;-) [01:33] when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in respresented with black circles, how do i makei t so that it doesnt show those black circules === WHITE is now known as casemods [01:33] So does anybody know if there is a proposed listing of additional wireless support that lucid may bring to the table? [01:33] patrick__, on the left side when u select like nextwindow and then the keys, theres a mouse and a keyboard icon, correct? [01:33] Also - if Lucid today march 28th doesnt work with my wireless on my laptop, are there any chances it could work when its finally released? [01:34] Roasted: what is your wireless card [01:34] Nope [01:34] The freeze will be on. [01:34] I had a similar issue. [01:34] magicianlord, Atheros 2413. [01:34] Odd [01:34] Ahteros cards are usually supported [01:34] Download the driver from their website [01:34] magicianlord, it works in 8.04.4, 9.04, but not 9.10 or the daily build of 10.04. [01:34] Install offline, connect, and reinstall from apt [01:35] Or use wire [01:35] magicianlord, it works out of box... like I can SEE the SSID... but I cant connect to a WPA network - only unsecured networks. [01:35] Hmm, I see Roasted [01:35] ok Typos_King lets hope this works, grub.cfg was read only even for root, i hope i changed it for good reason :p [01:35] Oh [01:35] magicianlord, I cant seem to figure it out. Its very frustrating. :( [01:35] then that is probably a security module issue [01:35] <_EnigmaCJ> Bye [01:35] magicianlord, what would I have to do to fix it? [01:35] hehhe [01:35] pvl1, are we still talking about statci application switcher? [01:36] Typos_King: a) i'll need to use a wpa2 key b) wlan0: interface does not support scanning, network is down [01:36] pvl1??? [01:36] godDAMN it didnt work, Typos_King [01:36] pvl1, static* [01:36] I dont know exactly right now to tell you. But when I install the Broadcom drivers, there were instructinos to specify one or the other [01:36] installed [01:36] Hello again. One last question for tonight. Any god guides as of how to setup virtual servers on my newly installed ubuntu-server? [01:36] >.< im pissed at this grub2 bs :p [01:36] i really should get ubuntu to use my wired just until i am back in X [01:36] I added the "Virtual server host" (or something like that) during install. [01:36] Miraculix_: how come? [01:36] magicianlord, it wont show me the kernel selection screen, it goes straight into loading the default one [01:37] MidComMobile: tried yet -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; ? [01:37] ... [01:37] * MidComMobile headdesk [01:37] Miraculix_: yes. did that other suggestion from another person here work? [01:37] nope just tried it [01:37] did not work [01:37] i c [01:37] Typos_King: i'm a gentoo dude, i din't even know you could do that [01:37] that's a bummer [01:37] Miraculix: what about deleting grub.cfg and try to remake it? sudo update-grub; [01:37] lol [01:38] magicianlord, so if you were in my shoes, where would you go first? [01:38] if he does that, he wont be able to boot [01:38] MidComMobile: no dpkg? :) [01:38] pvl1, AH! ok i get how to bind the keys now, but which one is the efect im looking for? [01:38] to the liquor store [01:38] when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in respresented with black circles, how do i makei t so that it doesnt show those black circules [01:38] lol jk [01:38] patrick__, tbh idk. but i thnik group is per application [01:38] Typos_King: gentoo doesn't, no, we write our own config files ;-) [01:39] Roasted: i'd contiue researched grub2 [01:39] researching [01:39] wrestlemania? [01:39] magicianlord, what relevance does grub2 have to my wireless issue? [01:39] i just tried the command you suggsted, and it works but doesn't change things. i'll just upgraade ubuntu, thanks [01:39] lol [01:39] oh sorry man [01:39] wrong tag? :P [01:39] yes [01:39] melwtech35: would you like that showed your pasword instead¿¿ [01:40] #ubuntustudio [01:40] i would install the drivers from the manufacturer [01:40] xangua, i would prefer it shows nothing. not even that im typing [01:40] ffs, its like grub doesnt WANT me to choose my own goddamn kernel [01:40] what is the best and simplest way to burn .avi files to dvd+r double layer discs? [01:40] Miraculix_: it knows better, that's why [01:40] update-grub didnt change anything [01:40] Found it... [01:40] hmm [01:40] pvl1, okay, group is it. But how can I get it to pull all apps, not just the ones on the current panel? [01:41] no. [01:41] patrick__, sec [01:41] Does anyone know why Canonical doesn't abolish the awful KDE fork and replace it with Openbox? [01:41] no. [01:41] lol [01:41] Seriously man [01:41] jk [01:42] We've got all the good ideas right here [01:42] magicianlord, you can go ask in #kubuntu [01:42] ;-) [01:42] ok patrick [01:42] magicianlord, I heard a lot of talk about ath5k... the newer madwifi driver. Know anything about it? [01:42] I'd be very popular there [01:42] when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in represented with black circles, how do i make it so that it doesnt show those black circles, i.e i dont want people seeing how many characters im entering [01:42] lol [01:42] so, anyone else have any ides on how to get grub2 to show me a kernel selection screen? [01:42] Roasted: nope. not without further research [01:43] replace it with grub 1? [01:43] or lilo [01:43] magicianlord, I tried to love it, cause its so beautiful-KDE. but i just dont get it. too strange, i dont like all the KDE apps [01:44] 091080 [01:44] its very disorganized and bloated and inefficient [01:44] patrick__, i think it does it from all viewoirts already if thats what u mean [01:44] i don understand why it has support [01:45] what is a good tutorial-like web page, explaining how to optimize for a netbook? (low ram + ssd lifetime) [01:45] hi is there a way to add patch to alsa drivers module? I have sound but chopped off high and low tones, and it seems my codec is added to 2.6.34 (realtek alc665) [01:45] hmw [01:45] i use linux primary on netbooks [01:45] magicianlord, same [01:46] pvl1, it does not- only for current workspace [01:46] you mainly want to edit fstab to use relatime or noatime, do not use a swap file, and a couple tweaks to apps like firefox [01:47] what should i be looking after, magicianlord pvl1, or what to remove? 500MB RAM wanna save on active processes, too [01:47] pvl1, in shift switcher at least- [01:47] patrick__, yeah i have no idea. ur on ur own =P google around [01:47] low ram? [01:47] disable bluetooth, visual assistance, logging [01:47] update notifier [01:48] or use xfce [01:48] you can get ubuntu to run at 100mb base [01:48] or 65mb with arch [01:48] wow [01:48] i found that xfce isnt really all that much faster [01:48] it seems like it would be, but its neglible [01:48] I disabled bluetooth in the services window, guess that's enough? i did disable the rest... cron does call some motd-updater, gotta look there too [01:48] hey I have a DYNEX wireless dongle, is there a way to have it be an AP for wireless access? [01:49] anyone know wehther gnome do runs in xfce? [01:49] I migrated my ubuntu installation to a larger hard disk. The filesystem UUID and root name changed as a result. Whenever a new kernel update is installed, the grub.conf file is written using the old UUID and root device name. How can I fix this? [01:49] magicianlord, well what is fasterthen [01:49] pnp0: that's when a rewrote every config file removing hte UUID [01:49] randomuser200, if u can run it in master mode yeah [01:49] what will happen, if my computer with 500MB RAM runs without swap? what would i have to expect? [01:50] pnp0, which grub, 1 or 2 [01:50] hww: in startup apps, disable bluetooth, check for new drivers, print queue applet, update notifier, use folders update, and visual assistance (in karmic) [01:50] when logging in on 9.10 and typing my password, it shows how many characters i have typed in represented with black circles, how do i make it so that it doesnt show those black circles, i.e i dont want people seeing how many characters im entering [01:50] pvl1: grub 1 on ubuntu 9.10 [01:50] hi [01:50] magicianlord: thanks... i turn these off on my desktops, too LOL [01:50] pvl1: how would i do that in ubuntu 9.10? [01:50] hp_: wutup money? [01:50] pvl1, lol thanks anyways! you got me 99% of the way there [01:50] Hi, what is the name of the command that is executed when you press ALT + F2 on the keyboard?

[05:32] so i can use virtualbox [05:33] the ts driver is compiled into the kernel btw [05:33] @ carlFX well it is a php site that access outside proxies to login to a site and make accounts for me... when i try to run it on my server I get an error that it cant connect and it times out.. yet on HG it works. .. i assume it uses mysql because its a PHP site [05:34] and all my accounts and what not are stored in a DB [05:34] Wren88 you cant run vb from the desktop edition? [05:35] my question is kinda interesting: I am running Ubuntu on an HTC Kaiser PDA-phone...the phone has a touchscreen built-in which is supported by the kernel (driver compiled into the kernel), but still I can't use it in Ubuntu, any idea why not? [05:35] Anyone know why I can't see the menu on globalmenu? I enabled it from Preferences. All that there is in Preferences is "Enable Global Menu", nothing else. [05:35] Halp!

Use xchat, FF, Chrome, Transmission. --- someone asked me about what dmesg says... This is it. http://pastebin.com/UgYqvvcX [05:38] I desire one thing right now, a way to set volumes of things in ALSA in such a way that PulseAudio can not change them no matter how hard it tries, while still allowing it to change master volume. [05:38] roach: it should work... I am guessing you need to get help with the php stuff - log files or something [05:38] SwimmingRat: are you using an external storage device to run your ubuntu 9.10 Karamic Koala? [05:39] no [05:39] well are there any ports i need to forward or something besides the standard..... i know the script works [05:39] i have it hosted on a vps [05:39] and it works there but not on my server [05:39] Because PCM being too high makes my sound sound like crap, and PulseAudio forces PCM to be too high, changing it in alsamixer is worthless because if the GUI or keyboard shortcuts change the volume, PCM is reset to being too high again === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [05:39] PHP_Arun, no I am not using any external storage device [05:40] actually, since most of the ubuntus Karmic are available in 64 bit version, its difficult for your 32 bit AMD to hold the instruction set long enough for executing [05:40] i see [05:40] roach: "doesn't work" isn't much to go on. the description you gave sounds like it should work without any public exposure [05:40] PHP_Arun, I do not have a 64 bit machine, do I? [05:40] so i think, you must make sure that you are running a 32 bit i386 version OS on the system [05:40] no u dont [05:40] but ur OS is 64 bit [05:40] o_O [05:40] it is? [05:40] wat [05:40] yes it is [05:40] the log shoots me this error PHP Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: unable to connect to tcp://127.0.0.1:3128 (Connection refused) so i forwarded that port and still no go [05:41] Wren88 I have 3 sites hosting audio and video on this box without any X probs,and it has the ati 9250 videocard to boot [05:41] did you order a CD or downloaded it from the net? [05:41] 64bit won't even begin to run on 32bit [05:41] Bob_Dole, I had that problem. Someone told me to install a GUI alsa mixer, setting PCM there, quit, then the PCM will be OK forever. I DOUBTED it would work, but it did [05:41] PHP_Arun, can I reinstall Ubuntu with the correct version without wiping my hard drive. [05:41] if so, i am 101 % sure about the OS being a 64 bit one. [05:41] i use nvidia [05:41] yes u can [05:41] * SwimmingRat dances with joy cause someone noticed. [05:41] lifestream, I have yet to get the gui alsa program to recognize my card [05:41] @carlfx you catch that error? [05:41] well for it, you will only have to erase the boot loader and the MBR. [05:41] and then start ubuntu in live mode [05:42] Wren88 nvidia is far better [05:42] and select a partition where no OS resides [05:42] SwimmingRat, in a terminal run "uname -m" if it say i686 you have 32 bit - if it says x86_64 it's 64 bit [05:42] yeah i use several here [05:42] right ZykoticK9 [05:43] can any one help with this error PHP Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: unable to connect to tcp://127.0.0.1:3128 (Connection refused) [05:43] Bob_Dole, like i said [05:43] Anyone know why I can't see the menu on globalmenu? I enabled it from Preferences. All that there is in Preferences is "Enable Global Menu", nothing else. [05:43] PHP_Arun, and ZykoticK9 --> uname -m [05:43] i686 [05:43] wren88 one other thing to try [05:43] ok [05:43] yeah, it's trying to connect to itself (127.0.0.1 = localhost) [05:43] SwimmingRat, so you have 32bit and NOT 64 bit OS installed! [05:43] ok i know that i get it on proxies too [05:43] so i forwarded that port [05:43] ctrl+ backspace when it freezes may reset the x server [05:44] but still no go [05:44] think its webmin? [05:44] roach: proxies? [05:44] ZykoticK9, ok back to square one. Shall I post the recap again? [05:44] just give it a few secs to re init [05:44] SwimmingRat, i just wanted to clear up the 32/64bit part for you [05:45] SwimmingRat, i had a quick look at your pastbin - but my google-fu didn't find anything for the error sorry [05:45] @ carlfx yeah its a pain [05:46] i've hit just a tiny brick wall using an lg e500 laptop. the battery icons in gnome, xfce, and cairo-dock all fail to recognise the presence of a battery, gnome reports 0% while cairo-dock and xfce report ac power even when the battery is not being charged. [05:46] ZykoticK9, i appreciate that. I'm still getting freezes and my guess is that it has to do with flash, though it works well (except for John Stewart and chatroulette) though igoogle fails (differently) on both browsers [05:46] roach: where did you get the php stuff? [05:46] so what else to try? [05:46] i paid for the script [05:46] that is part of the error log [05:46] like i said if i want to pay for hosting it works fine [05:47] SwimmingRat, sorry man - i really don't have anything to suggest for you. Best of luck though. [05:47] ZykoticK9, I never heard of dmesg before (where would I?) or uname and didnt see them in the basic linux I looked at. [05:47] thanks ZykoticK9 [05:47] srry Wren88 the cmd is ctrl+alt+backspace [05:47] I'm signing off tonight. till tomorrow. [05:48] does Ubuntu hate Asus motherboards? [05:48] Wren88, if you are using Karmic then the command is actually alt+sysrq+k to restart Xorg [05:48] roach: you arn't really hitting the details needed to describe the problmem. ask the people you paid, they may be able to ask you better questions.

Then I reboot into Windows and it works fine. [05:57] run alsamixer from terminal [05:57] Bluntz_ was that answer to me? [05:57] shadow [05:57] kk [05:57] sorry matt [05:57] Np bud [05:57] TxMatt yeah u can view the files easy. Or did you mean visually see it like in a virtualbox?

[05:58] Ijust dont want to restart..lol [05:59] no i know who that is [05:59] anyh idea why it wont let me connect [05:59] think its a port [05:59] TxMatt oh well just moving files around can be done in the file manager. Do you know how to get around Ubuntu? [05:59] look at the bottom of input ctrl m mutes and unmutes the source [05:59] yeah i can do that [06:00] carlFX | im wondering if i just dont have some standard basic ports forwarded [06:00] little box will be green if enabled [06:00] So you know how to see the files on your Windows desktop already? [06:00] Yes [06:00] Clicking Synaptic > mark a certain package name > Package > Lock Version corresponds to what command-line command in dpkg? [06:00] roach: 38953 is the port. 174.34.171.11 is the box it is trying to connect to, and it's refusing it. guessing it only accepts from some limited set of boxes [06:00] i can do it throught terminal and file manager [06:00] through [06:00] :/ hmmm [06:00] my server is refusing it localy [06:01] roach: whos box is 174.34.171.11 ? [06:01] carlfx its a proxy that works its not the proxy refusing its my server refusing to allow outgoing connections [06:01] Ok so why do you need to actually see Windows just for uploading photos from a Camera? Is there a certain program your wanting to use? [06:01] ftpserver@ roach [06:01] ? [06:02] @ TxMatt no its not ftp [06:02] I just set my ftp, i have alot of ubuntu and linux books in it. [06:02] set-up [06:02] @TxMatt I have ftp set up its not ftp its a socks5 proxy [06:03] roach: my guess is your server doesn't have something listening on that port, like there is more to install. why not ask the people who you got this stuff from? [06:03] is there any other way to control audio [06:03] because it works on HG im not going to forward ports for all 2k proxies i have that is ridiculus [06:03] lots [06:04] Hmm, my networking applet disappeared from the panel. I wonder what [06:04] to do to make it appear again [06:04] hi [06:04] pulse jack sox alsa [06:04] my server does not need to listen to connnect to an outgoing proxy [06:04] what ever ill figure it out [06:04] Hi.

[06:11] zerocool, that's probably because it wasn't installed from syaptic [06:11] you removed the repository? [06:11] paranoid_pedlar, why?

[06:12] and to BETA2? [06:12] Shazbutts, I'm having ppa erros, but I don't know how to find the full ppa name. So I deleted what I thought was the error, and I still get it, so I'm worried it might be an important source I deleted [06:12] ok look for it in aptitude? [06:12] !lucid | Maletor, [06:12] Maletor,: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [06:12] Maletor, yes and yes [06:12] paranoid_pedlar, that wasn't a good idea [06:13] and what is the 'error' that you're getting? [06:13] is it about keys and trusted sources? [06:13] because if it is, that's not an error and you can just ignore it [06:13] how do I prevent ubuntu from auto placing a icon to my devices on my dekstop? [06:14] obiwan_: i think you want something like http://lde.sourceforge.net - [06:15] Shazbutts, I know better, ant it's embarrassing... and yes that's what it is [06:16] paranoid_pedlar, yeah, that's not an error, and you can ignore it. [06:16] obiwan_: you are correct about dirs on an ext2 fs being files, but I don't think the OS supports opening them as files. [06:16] Shazbutts, so how do I go about adding the now deleted source [06:16] how to install osip2 header? [06:16] paranoid_pedlar, and you shouldn't go editting files that you don't know what they do. And you also should ALWAYS make a backup before changing a system file. [06:17] paranoid_pedlar, what ubuntu are you on? [06:17] 9.10? [06:17] Shazbutts, you're right. I haven't been following that advice. I will be from now on. I've spent enough time using Linux to be so foolish.

[06:19] Shazbutts, iromli , it was a launchpad ppa [06:19] Intertricity_: virtual machines and good graphics don't go together [06:19] for karmic main [06:19] blakkheim, aw :[ [06:19] paranoid_pedlar, this is the default sources.list for karmic: http://pastebin.org/127348 [06:19] find the one you deleted and replace it [06:19] Intertricity_, VirtualBox with Guest Additions is probably your best bet - but "good performance" not sure that's possible.

It says in the debugging output that it is listening on ports 1812 and 1813 for connections, but the other server I have can't connect to it. Is there a way that I can debug (on my ubuntu server) if freeradius actually is listening for connections on 1812 and 1813?

[06:31] tomoj, it's common - you need to use "apt-get distupgrade" or something [06:31] Paranoi_pedlar: tired but I'm on day 3 of 4 so its normal [06:31] How do I make the NetworkManager applet appear in the panel?

The likely problem is that gvfs is messed up for some reason, and thus software-center can't figure out whether another program locked the package database. The easiest way to fix this would be to restart, to be honest; it's a rather obscure condition... [07:47] logging out and back in again might also fix it, I forget whether that cycles gvfs or not.
