[00:00] StevenUK: Yes. And the other disks are disabled temporarily (in the bios) for this installation. [00:00] pete_: Do not do that while the drive being copied is mounted, that is quite a bad idea. [00:00] kinja-sheep: have you tried with them enabled and just that disk? [00:00] arand: what can happen exactly, just curious [00:00] StevenUK: In the past, yes. It ended with the same result. === Chazz is now known as Guest72277 [00:01] kinja-sheep: does teh bios have a PATA compatibility mode - or no raid? [00:01] pete_: The system is continuously rewriting itself (if only the temporary files), copy will likely be inconsistent, I would assume [00:01] pete_ usually such kind of procedures you want to do them from another mounted system [00:02] What punctuation do you use to identify a bugger area is used for a vi cut and paste command?

[00:46] t3chkommie: that would depend on what the problem is, obviously [00:46] im trying to get the rotating earth background. but i dont think Gnome has anything like that [00:46] can anyone help me set up mic settings in alsa? [00:47] hi i hve been removing some apps from my computer to clear space now i get this error from software sources or if i sudo apt-update. http://pastebin.com/6HzEhWpt <- what can i do [00:47] t3chkommie: correct, there are no dynamic backgrounds in gnome, not that I'm aware of at least [00:47] i have done it before but cant seem to get it to work now after a fresh ubuntu install [00:47] dang. that kinda blows. [00:47] Hey there. :) It's not that I'm too lazy to search or anything, it's just that you get a lot of irrelevant results when you search for this: do you guys know of any GOOD encryption methods for Ubuntu? I want to encrypt my whole hard disk. [00:47] And I want something free (as in freedom) and state-of-art. === someotherrandomn is now known as jGarrido [00:48] vatzec: you want http://trisquel.info [00:48] t3chkommie, there is a script or program out there that will do it though, I used it a year or so ago, can't remember the name....hmm... [00:48] * sudo apt-get update [00:49] vatzec: it's as state of the art as any distro I know of [00:49] Tekk_: Why do you think so, Tekk_? Because of the "freedom" part? [00:49] vatzec: you said you wanted a free distro, trisquel is the most up to date free one [00:49] thanks niko, i really liked that part of KDE, but im a gnome fan at heart. [00:49] Yeah, I will be trying out Trisquel soon anyway -- I'm getting it on my FSF membership card. :) [00:49] vatzec: you may also be interested in gnewsense, but it's not up to date [00:49] Tekk_: No, no, that's not the point - I want a free solution of encryption. [00:50] vatzec: ah [00:50] I enjoy using Ubuntu. :) [00:50] vatzec: can't help you then [00:50] Tekk_: Thanks a lot for trying though! :) [00:50] vatzec: wait....you're getting an FSF membership and you use UBUNTU? [00:50] vatzec: you're at least running linux libre right? [00:51] is socks to do with squid [00:51] point is, I need some proprietary drivers to run my devices [00:51] that's why I'm not 100% free [00:51] you can try vrms to see the non-free parts [00:51] can you use the alternate cd to install a no-gui install, and if so, do you need to do anything special... i cant find a server edition alternate cd (need alt for raid options) [00:51] vatzec: which devices? [00:51] a 3g usb device [00:51] vatzec: ah [00:52] yeah, it's a MAJOR paint [00:52] paint, haha. [00:52] vatzec: I'm waiting on the new openfwwf driver so I can finally get wifi :P [00:52] aww [00:52] Tekk_: is that on a laptop or a desktop? [00:52] vatzec: laptops [00:52] StormTide: #ubuntu-server [00:52] Tekk_: No wifi on a laptop is a major pain. [00:53] vatzec: yeah, I noticed [00:53] :) [00:53] vatzec: luckily I have a desktop [00:53] Been there, Tekk_ [00:53] i'm using ubuntu 9.10 and i can't find menu.lst in /boot/grub [00:53] where should it be ? [00:53] visof, have a look at /etc/default/grub === Haraken_ is now known as Haraken [00:54] !grub2 > visof [00:54] visof, please see my private message [00:54] visof, grub2 uses a new format /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:54] unop, visof DO NOT edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:55] ZykoticK9, no one's advocating that, are they? [00:55] unop, unless you specifically explain your statement people are going to assume that grub.cfg is a replacement of menu.lst [00:56] ZykoticK9, and the same applies for menu.lst too - editing it is somewhat futile. That said, there's no reason to not dive into the file and understand it. [00:57] okay sorted out my alsa problem, could someone tell me how i can upgrade to lucid beta? [00:57] hey guys im trying to setup a DNS on a DYNDNS like site because i have a dynamic IP adress... what do i have to do in my hosts and resolv file to set that up? [00:57] titan_ark, /join #ubuntu+1 [00:58] unop, k [00:58] ....... afaik grub.cfg IS the replacement for menu.lst, there's no replacement for /etc/default/grub templates cuz from what I recall older grub didn't use any templates, at least I didn't bother checking much, I always edited menu.lst and grub.cfg with np [00:58] picard1421, both those files have to do with local resolution -- they don't affect how the outside world sees your IP address or DNS name [00:59] does anyone know why loading xmodmap files from a startup program might not work? i have a script set to run as a startup program, which contains the line "xmodmap ~/.remotekbmap", and i'm expecting it to load the modmap file "~/.remotekbmap", but it doesn't seem to be working [00:59] i installed ubuntu 9.10 in my laptop and it's installed very good but i didn't got grub menu at the first , but i installed another sys besides ubuntu that doesn't identify it [00:59] right i understand... that im saying my DNS is at some other place... what do i do to those files .. because im trying to setup a zimbra mail server [00:59] what should i do [00:59] Typos_King, yea, that works until you do a kernel upgrade ... [00:59] so the zimbra server knows where the DNS is ? [00:59] flyingtabmow: is the script executable? [00:59] yes [01:00] unop: which happens? every other week? and yes, I do back it up, and no, I don't change kernels like I change my socks either, unless something is busted [01:00] Im running ubuntu live on my PC with 2 new identical harddrives. Can Ubuntu create a RAID 1 of the disks? [01:00] picard1421, is zimbra running on the same machine? [01:00] funnily enough, after I edited it, it was never overwritten :}, go figure [01:01] Typos_King, that's works-for-me eh. [01:01] flyingtabmow: try running the script in terminal to look for errors [01:01] unop: zimbra is running on my server and the DNS is running at some other site becasue my IP is dynamic and updates to that site === mOOey is now known as m00se [01:01] works for me too [01:01] !worksforme [01:01] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [01:02] i have, it checks out fine [01:02] my question is what do i have to do to point zimbra to my DNS in setup etc?? and what about the resolv and hosts files because the MX record has to point to my site? (which it should then be a Cname? because the IP changes??) [01:02] please can any one help [01:02] ? [01:03] flyingtabmow: next thing to check is the path to the file in autostarted apps [01:03] unop: indeed, is exactly what I think about the advice on no touching it, I do advice to back it up and that it gets overwritten, but I think there's overcaution and I'd say overzealousy on the warnings there, and yes, I do think they also use the works-for-me lines too, as much as I do, so [01:04] picard1421, well, the way DNS works - you shouldn't need to change anything i.e. you should be able to use the existing DNS servers in your resolv.conf for resolution [01:04] i know the file is running, i have it writing to a file on the desktop to make sure [01:04] my only guess is that something else is loading a different modmap file after mine [01:04] picard1421, in otherwords, it sounds like you need to ensure that your dynamic DNS provider is setting up your MX records properly [01:04] yea basically [01:04] when i run it from the terminal it works as expected [01:04] because my resolv conf should be pointing to my Dynamic DNS? [01:05] im not relaly sure what i have to have in the hosts file ? [01:05] or resolv file? [01:05] how can i set the CLASSPATH environmental variable for java? [01:05] export CLASSPATH = path? [01:05] buttons: yes [01:05] picard1421, the hosts file does nothing for DNS .. you can't have it return MX records. [01:06] ok what does the hosts file do? [01:06] Anyone know the keyboard shortcut to switch between channels on xchat? [01:06] picard1421, just make sure your dynamic DNS provider can update MX records too .. then everyone in the world (including you whereever you are) can see the change. [01:06] no i understand.. but what does the resolv.conf and hosts file do .. what if i had them blank persay?? [01:07] seyfarth: on irssi it's /window next or /window # maybe similar [01:07] im confused why i need them and somewhat confused am i pointing them to an External IP or do i point them 127.0.0.1? [01:07] autobot: thanks [01:07] so like mysite.org should be in the hosts file? and pointed somewhere? [01:07] seyfarth: np [01:07] picard1421, the hosts file does very simple name-to-IP translation --- no complex DNS information like A, CNAME and MX records. The resolv.conf is a list of DNS servers your machine uses to then go query those servers to do DNS resolution. [01:08] hello, can anyone help me enable window grapic? [01:08] ok [01:08] graphics, i mean [01:08] so like i should have those pointed to like google's dns stuf etc.. [01:08] seyfarth: IIRC, unless you set the keybindings.... lemme think... I've use ctrl-pgup and pgdn, but I think it also does Alt and a channel letter combo [01:08] and then in the hosts file i can have localhost and 127.0.0.1 [01:08] and that is all i need? [01:09] picard1421: say you wan't to ssh to a machine and you wan't to use a friendly name...it's good for that ie. 22.32.12.33 = mylinux.server [01:09] but i need to own that domain server? [01:09] picard1421: yes thats enough to get you by [01:09] How to enable my wireless card on bt4 on vmware ??? [01:09] is there a GUI for ntfsprogs ? [01:09] picard1421: not locally [01:09] ohh locally! [01:09] gotchya gotchya [01:09] how do you use ntfsundelete? [01:09] I'm trying to enable graphics on a old computer [01:09] ok.. [01:09] picard1421, right, yes. if zimbra wants to query the MX record for your domain/DNS name -- it should go about it normally i.e. query google's DNS servers first and so on until it finds your Dynamic DNS provider -- which if setup properly should return the right IP addresses for the MX record. [01:09] so if i disable bind and just external DNS servers i should still be ok [01:10] and the IP should be of my Computer (which is updated etc..?) [01:10] compiz fusion, isn't working [01:10] picard1421, yep [01:10] Untitled_only: do you know the card? [01:10] nope [01:10] picard1421: like if your router's hostname is linbox.local you could point your browser to http://linbox.local and that would take you to your router [01:11] Untitled_only, to find your gfx card in a terminal "lspci | grep -i vga" [01:11] Hey all. [01:11] what was the command to finish configuring newly installed packges? if the process was cut at the middle. [01:11] I hac [01:11] ok give me a sec [01:11] gotchya... [01:11] ok i get that aspect now [01:11] OK, If I use the dd command in vi , then use a yy command whats happens to the data in buffer 1?

[01:13] ok so then what happens to the dd data?

[03:24] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> i am trying to help someone over voip btw, so yeah its a little hard for me also [03:24] [B]lack[D]ragoN: well 169 means the cable is connected to something i suppose, but the ip means dhcp times out [03:25] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> acicula: correct. connected and timing out...but the question is, why. [03:25] V3RR3Z what do you see? [03:25] [B]lack[D]ragoN: well my guess would be cables, cables, cables in uplink instead of switch port [03:25] [B]lack[D]ragoN: does the network applet animate a small rotatin circle thingy if you plug unplug the cable?

[03:26] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> correct [03:27] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> im thinking theres an issue with the interfaces [03:27] [B]lack[D]ragoN: well maybe he has a switch or a modem with an ethernet uplink or something [03:27] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> but again, over voip, i cant see it myself [03:27] well if you have an interface the driver works, though the card could be broken [03:27] my money is still on improper cable/wireing though [03:27] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> well, i think its more likely, that its not configured properly [03:27] try assigning a static ip [03:27] is there nothing i can do to change my 600x800 video [03:28] and ping the router ip [03:28] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> already tried a static ip lol [03:28] no joy? [03:28] what to check if I have correct dns records? [03:28] [B]lack[D]ragoN: then its the cabling, have him/her yank a working system cable and put it in that port? [03:28] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> the card is showing up properly in ifconfig, and in lspci now, its just assigning the wrong ip address [03:29] bjwebb: You can assign the IP address manually. [03:29] he said he tried that already [03:29] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: yes, thats a static ip, and already done so [03:29] he said he tried that already [03:30] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Can you pring the router? [03:30] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: no. [03:30] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> he just checked the cables, they are fine [03:30] [B]lack[D]ragoN, [B]lack[D]ragoN then you've got a bad connection to the router [03:30] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Then you have a hardware problem. [03:30] !sources [03:30] 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 [03:30] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> lights on router and nic are working [03:30] [B]lack[D]ragoN, You've got a bad connection to router [03:30] What happens when you get a DHCP address? [03:30] [B]lack[D]ragoN:swapthe cable with another port on the router [03:30] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Can you ping the IP address that you assigned to the NIC? [03:31] even if router is not connected to the internet, you can still ping the router [03:31] hi what is the ubuntu default gnome install app called [03:31] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> its assigning a 169 ip instead of a 192 [03:31] can someone tell me the image formats that ubuntu will allow for backgrounds or where to find such information? [03:31] I can ping the router [03:31] meowbuntu, that question makes no sense [03:31] That means it's not getting an IP address. DHCP is either disabled on the router or there is a hardware issue (such as a bad cable) [03:31] gnome has been removed somehow while uninstalling other apps [03:31] meowbuntu, but you can install 'ubuntu-desktop' [03:31] [B]lack[D]ragoN: 169.xxx ??? I thought you said you assigned a static IP to it? [03:31] can someone give me a little guidance, pleeeeeeze -- i have an issue with my Ubuntu 9.10 x32 -- it WILL NOT boot up after I installed gdm_2-28.tar.gz with ./configure command ---- WHAT DO I DO? [03:31] ah thats it. [03:31] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: i am trying to get it working under dhcp, not static [03:32] Is DHCP enabled on the router? [03:32] magic_ninja420, why did you reinstall gdm? [03:32] [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah but if static does work you know its not the cabling/card [03:32] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> ah [03:32] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> when he tries to restart the network now, it says "the interface eth0 is not configured" [03:32] [B]lack[D]ragoN: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; ping 192.168.1.91 [03:32] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> acicula: more likely he is lost :D [03:33] magic_ninja420, can you reinstall gdm using 'sudo apt-get reinstall gdm' [03:33] I think [03:33] hi, I need help getting my development enviroment set up, would someone be able to help me? I"m trying to do Ruby on Rails [03:33] o_o [03:33] let me check [03:33] ShazbotMcNasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:33] [B]lack[D]ragoN: When you set a static IP, can you ping the router? [03:33] ShazbotMcNasty, well I was trying to change/edit my Login Screen with Login Manager and I was under the assumption (im new), after doing some reading, that i needed to install gdm to utilize the login manager -- [03:33] [B]lack[D]ragoN: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; ping 192.168.1.1 [03:33] magic_ninja420, gdm is already installed [03:33] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: no, because there is an interface error [03:34] ShazbotMcNasty, unfortunately, im magicvibe lol and not ninja [03:34] ;) [03:34] [B]lack[D]ragoN: What error? [03:34] magic_ninja420, yes do 'sudo apt-get install gdm' or 'sudo apt-get reinstall gdm' [03:34] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> when he tries to restart the network now, it says "the interface eth0 is not configured" [03:34] [B]lack[D]ragoN: define "restart the network" ? [03:34] [B]lack[D]ragoN: mii-tool eth0 [03:35] ShazbotMcNasty, when i start the computer, it does the "mouse wait loading" symbol and goes no where... how do i get to a terminal? [03:35] [10:32pm] Maletor: Can I just select my /dev/md0 and set that to boot [10:33pm] Maletor: [10:32pm] Maletor: Select dev/vg/root to my root partition and /dev/vg/swap to swap [10:33pm] Maletor: [10:33pm] Maletor: And install. And the kernel will be able to figure out that it needs to assemble a raid and find a lvm to startup? [03:35] magic_ninja420, hit [03:35] [B]lack[D]ragoN: lspci |grep -i net [03:35] ShazbotMcNasty, one sec, switching KVM [03:36] terry_: the nics there and he had an eth0 that much we covered [03:38] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> acicula: restart the networking process you mean? [03:38] [B]lack[D]ragoN: ethtool eth0 [03:38] woody_: what kind of wireless problem, are you on karmic and have you applied updates after installing yet ? and what kernel error [03:38] If, from ubiquity, I install onto a LVM that's reading from a software RAID, will my computer be able to boot. As in: will the computer be able to assemble the RAID and find my root partition so it can mount it? [03:38] [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah [03:38] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> thats what i meant :p [03:38] ShazbotMcNasty, [sudo apt-get reinstall gdm] replied E: Invalid Operation -- and [sudo apt-get install gdm] replies already installed [03:39] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> restarting the router wouldn't effect it lol [03:39] well the service that starts NetworkManager i mean [03:39] any firestarter users here? [03:39] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Did you try a different cable? [03:39] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> well apparently, that process cannot be found acicula [03:39] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: yes. [03:39] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> same problem [03:39] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> its an interface error [03:39] Azh, i use it but ask anyways so we can all see [03:39] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Network-manager or whatever variation thereof [03:39] [B]lack[D]ragoN: ethtool eth0 [03:40] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> ok so, mii-tool: eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok [03:40] [B]lack[D]ragoN: mii-tool eth0 [03:40] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> i have to wait for him to type on his cell lol [03:40] outcould, i keep having to give me eth0 an ip adress for fire starter to work [03:40] well ShazbotMcNasty Im going to try removing the gdm and then reinstalling -- hopefully that may fix it? ... is it possible there's an issue with my xorg.conf? [03:40] but it like keeps reseting itself [03:40] [B]lack[D]ragoN: What happens when you do: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; ping 192.168.1.91 ? [03:41] Azh, when you first install you select a nic [03:41] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: nothing. [03:41] magic_ninja420, no "./configure" is not the end of the compiling process [03:41] is there a way to schedule recording an internet radio station to an mp3 file? [03:41] well when i connect to a network using the wireless, it was worse using karmic koala, im running mystic right now but still the same problem, when i download something it will drop the connection. on reconnect it will give me a kernel error [03:41] [B]lack[D]ragoN: The NIC must be bad. [03:41] outcold, it works most of time, but the eth0 keeps reseting the ip adress [03:41] Azh, i dont have on this laptop but check settings to see if you can change [03:41] magic_ninja420, you messed gdm up by failing at compiling a new gdm [03:41] do we nned to entable bootable flag on /boot directory? [03:41] hi i need to fix my proxy settings to remove a proxy an app left behind i cant update or install ubuntu-desktop which has been removed. i need to do this from cli. [03:41] all right, thanks outcold [03:41] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> acicula: think its possible that he made a typo in /etc/network/interfaces ? [03:42] ciao [03:42] Azh, are you using both interfaces at the same time? [03:42] whats up with open office defaulting to the Black Knight font? numbers aren't working at all in that font? [03:42] yeah, like I said it works almost perfect [03:42] ShazbotMcNasty, oh... ---- what do I do to fix that? [03:42] except my eth0 keeps loosing it's static ip [03:42] anyone can help me atm [03:42] [B]lack[D]ragoN: possible but the troubleshoot terry gave should work, if you set the ip with ifconfig eth0 and ping doesnt work its hosed, if it does work tell your friend to get someone to look at his cabling [03:42] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: the nic is fine. it works perfectly under windows and centos. [03:43] and I have to input it every time via sudo ifconfig === magicvibes is now known as MagicVibes [03:43] !ask | meowbuntu [03:43] Kind of like Replay A/V for windows? [03:43] meowbuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:43] magic_ninja420, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm" [03:43] meowbuntu, oh sorry [03:43] ShazbotMcNasty, ok, i will give that a go [03:43] is anyone here familiar with mythtv? i'm having trouble getting a frontend to connect to a backend on a separate computer. I can access the setting page on port 6544 through firefox, but the frontend will not connect to the backend on port 6543 [03:43] Azh, why you think it's firestarter thats going dhcp? [03:44] yeah I guess is not firestarter, its something to with xubuntu [03:44] [B]lack[D]ragoN: If you set a static IP to your NIC and then can not ping your own NIC you must have a hardware problem. NIC must have gone bad. Did you try setting a static IP and then ping it? i.e.: sudo ifconfig eth0 172.3.2.1 ; ping 172.3.2.1 [03:44] I get it through the headphones fine though patg [03:44] meowbuntu, what app? [03:44] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> k i told him to do it again with static, he may have tried under dhcp [03:45] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> he said it pings fine [03:45] it's still pretty sweet though, i'm using the internet through my xubuntu box with firestarter [03:45] Azh, maybe a setting in /etc/network/interface [03:45] Anybody else having no-video troubles on 10.04 with .32 kernels? [03:45] *interfaces [03:45] For netbooks [03:45] hmmm, okay I'll check === pragma_ is now known as Guest818 [03:46] [B]lack[D]ragoN: If it pings fine, then you only need to get proper settings in /etc/network/interfaces [03:46] My left click quits working in programs, I have to close them with keyboard, then it works again [03:46] Azh, let me know how it pans out [03:46] has anybody have the Kubuntu 10.04LTS Beta 1 partitioner get stuck at 47% when searching for partitions? [03:46] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: restarting gives this error: SIOCADDRT: No such process [03:46] [B]lack[D]ragoN: pings fine to the ip set to the static adress, or pings fine to the router?\ [03:47] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> acicula: to the static address [03:47] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> it wont reach the router if the interface is not configured properly [03:47] acicula: sry, im using a atom n450 netbook from gateway. its equiped with a wireless b/g. i cant get the wireless to stay connected consistently and the bluetooth cant be found at all [03:47] linuxuser5152 install gparted [03:47] ShazbotMcNasty, after I boot up in recovery mode with network I run that command in terminal... now what do i do when it's complete? [03:47] ShazbotMcNasty, would i "gdm restart" ? [03:47] no [03:47] [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah that is rpetty obvious yes [03:47] for the /boot directory, do we need to enable boot flag? [03:47] [B]lack[D]ragoN: If it pings fine, then you only need to get proper settings in /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 #If you want to use dhcp [03:48] MagicVibes, /etc/init.d/gdm start [03:48] ShazbotMcNasty, i just installed regular ubuntu and installed Kubuntu-desktop. but still kinda odd. [03:48] woody_: the wireless looses connection every now and then? [03:48] MagicVibes, "/etc/init.d/gdm start" [03:48] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> ummm we have auto lo eth0 eth1 [03:48] remove the eth1 [03:48] whats up with open office defaulting to the Black Knight font? numbers aren't working at all in that font? [03:48] linuxuser5152, is there no kubuntu 10.04 beta? [03:48] unless he has dual nics ? [03:49] Anybody know why my left click quits working, I have to close open apps with keyboard, and then it works again? [03:49] [B]lack[D]ragoN: See: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [03:49] acicula: yeah, when it reconnect is actually get a kernel error occasionally [03:49] ShazbotMcNasty, ehm. i don't get what you're saying. [03:49] i had to install Ubuntu 10.04LTS Beta 1 and then install the KDE packages. [03:49] hello. i have a problem with ping resolving a host. "host foo.example.local" resolves fine, but "ping foo.example.local" doesn't work. "ping foo" on the other hand, works. does anybody know why? i have the following in my resolv.conf --> http://codepad.org/0vkrJXJF [03:50] what is the terminal command to tell what video card I have [03:50] Anyone know about mounting an Xbox Memory Card? See also my repot... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/105955 [03:50] report* [03:50] ShazbotMcNasty, i got a reply saying to "Rather than invoiking init scripts through /etc/init.d/ use the service(8) utility eg. gdm start" [03:50] MagicVibes, well then I guess you should do that [03:50] that's weird though [03:50] Syndey: lspci |grep -i vga [03:50] woody_: best bet then is to check launchpad and with the kernel error message or report it [03:50] hmm i ll try it out [03:51] all right, I just had to convert the dhcp config to static, thanks for the help out_cold [03:51] or pastebin it and i can have a quick google for you [03:51] linuxuser5152, so your problem is you need a new hard drive manager/partitioner thingy? [03:51] every one my desktop is broken [03:51] and gparted doesn't work... [03:51] I have my desktop set w/ a static IP, sshd_config set to listen on that IP, but sshd doesn't start on boot. Anyone know why? [03:51] acicula: sry im new at linux. How would i check the launchpad? [03:52] ShazbotMcNasty, naah. i had a partition set up already, but when entering the partitioner part of the installation, it just freezes at 47% detecting partitions or something of that sort. [03:52] woody_: its a website where problems/bugs are traced [03:52] Azh, no problem. sometimes it helps to write out your problem to help diagnose it [03:52] !launchpad [03:52] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects.

[03:54] ** Gaming4JC [03:54] [B]lack[D]ragoN: If you want to use DHCP, your /etc/network/interfaces file should look like this: http://pastebin.com/z8EX38Qn [03:54] If I use ubiquity to install and I install onto a LVM that is looking for a RAID assembly, will my computer be able to boot (find the filesystem and mount it)?

[04:01] [B]lack[D]ragoN: If the router is issuing bogus IP info, you will need access to the router's configuration in order to repair those errors. [04:02] :( ;( [04:02] dmstrdj: Which one(s)? [04:02] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: again, the router is fine [04:02] fate_t_harlaown: not sure, just having a look at google [04:02] Can someone help me PLEASE to restore my GDM -- i broked it [04:02] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> there are 6 pcs online, this is the only 1 having issues [04:02] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> its an interface problem [04:03] anyone know how a desktop environment could cause one of my fans to go nuts? [04:03] [B]lack[D]ragoN: are you sure the mask is incorrect? [04:03] if I log out, the fan goes back to normal- my cpu usage stays very low [04:03] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Is the router also the DHCP server? If so, it is not fine if you are getting bogus IP info from the DHCP server. [04:03] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> Gnea: considering the router doesnt use a default subnet, yes [04:03] it only happens after I play a game.. weird stuff [04:03] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: yes it is. [04:03] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> however [04:03] [B]lack[D]ragoN: then the problem is with the router, not the pc [04:04] [B]lack[D]ragoN: you still get a 169.* ip? [04:04] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> the subnet is forwarded through the isp [04:04] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> acicula: 192 now. [04:04] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> the ip is proper, the subnet isnt [04:04] [B]lack[D]ragoN: what CIDR are you using? [04:04] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> he has no idea :D [04:04] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> "whats a CIDR?" [04:04] q4/quit [04:05] if he gets an ip from his isp it shouldnt begin with 192 [04:05] nautilus staled because bonobo-activation-server is error (code 3) [04:05] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> no no [04:05] if he doesn't know what a CIDR is, then what business does he have operating a router? :) [04:05] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> the router issues the lan ips [04:05] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> the isp issues the wan ip and the subnet [04:05] What is XORG.CONF ? [04:05] ah ok [04:05] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> the subnet is forwarded through the router [04:05] so can he ping the router [04:05] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Sounds like you have a network configuration problem other than the machine you are working on. It is possible that you have more than one DHCP servers running on that LAN which COULD cause a problem like the one you see.

[04:07] panic panic panic [04:07] anyone here able to help me [04:07] meowbuntu: what is your problem? [04:07] with my proxy [04:07] meowbuntu: not if you don't tell us what the problem is [04:07] i have been in here [04:07] sking [04:08] * Gnea does not care [04:08] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> Gnea: voip [04:08] i was uninstalling apps adn acidently ubuntu-desktop was removed [04:08] * un214 loads his rocket launcher [04:08] meowbuntu: so reinstall it [04:08] meowbuntu: Check browser settings.

[04:09] well since you have irc maybe you can reinstall it from cd [04:09] fate_t_harlaown: http://lists.linuxcoding.com/kernel/2006-q3/msg05258.html [04:09] its not that easy i dont hve desktop atm [04:09] meowbuntu: this prevents you from using apt how? [04:09] meowbuntu: ping av.com [04:09] just cli [04:09] Gnea, i cant get onto the internet [04:09] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> heh [04:09] meowbuntu: sudo dhclient [04:09] well you have some machine on the internet [04:09] fate_t_harlaown: appearantly the define got moved for that [04:09] its blocking the use of apt [04:09] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> it was /29, not /24 [04:09] or so it seems anyway [04:09] hm...ah, so that's what happened... [04:09] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> ip calc <3 [04:09] hols on [04:10] well, gonna give it another shot on compiling it again [04:10] well you can use the machine you have to downlaod the latest ubuntu alternate cd and use that as a package source [04:10] in bash, how is a good way to check to see if a server is running...I want to say "If the server is available, do backup" [04:10] javatexan: somethign along the lines of ping servername && [04:11] what am i looking for terry [04:11] darnit...I hate it when I don't think of the obvious way...trying to make it way too hard ;) Thanks [04:11] i cant show you anythig no desktop [04:11] ^ terry_ [04:11] meowbuntu: Check your network connection. ifconfig ; ping av.com [04:12] I have an AMD processor that I know will support 32 bit, but I have 64 installed. How do I force a 32 bit package to install? [04:12] rixxy: I debootstraped a 32 bit enviornment [04:12] in a chroot jail [04:12] meowbuntu: export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport [04:12] hold on can i go back to live cd and reset gnome like i have done with grub without reinstalling [04:12] meowbuntu: then use apt-get [04:13] be careful when doing that you remove grub and grub2 from the inside immediately or the next do-release-upgrade will clobber your bootloader [04:13] rixxy: dpkg [04:13] terry: what flags need to go with it? [04:13] not bad [04:13] ShazbotMcNasty, still around? [04:13] meowbuntu: or add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport"; [04:13] terry: it would be sudo dpkg -? [04:13] ShazbotMcNasty, how would I set my xorg.conf to 100% default? [04:13] rixxy: none is far as I know. Just download the .deb and do dpkg -i package.deb [04:13] rm /etc/xorg.conf [04:14] un214, [04:14] Gnea, my proxy address needs to be reset to default null [04:14] I'm not joking. [04:14] un214, that will return default? [04:14] terry: thanks, i'll give it a try [04:14] hi, i just installed xfce. it doesn't seem to mount my ntfs partition on its own, whats the command to do that? [04:14] i dint have the address it thinks it has. hol on [04:14] meowbuntu: I'm just saying, that's where you put it to make it work [04:14] well it returned me to a working state from a non-working state [04:14] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> ok so, having him switch to static and try to define all the stuff....hope this works [04:15] rixxy: But if you have the 64bit version currently installed, you probably need to remove it first. [04:15] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> he said it was giving errors the last time about him not giving enough information, or giving too much...so i dont know [04:16] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> now its saying no such process set as static [04:16] fyi, it's a little annoying to start a statement with / [04:16] [B]lack[D]ragoN: If he is changing to static by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file, he will need to restart the network afterwards: /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:16] what if i dont want a proxy address [04:17] hi, i just installed xfce. it doesn't seem to mount my ntfs partition on its own, whats the command to do that? [04:17] ^ Gnea [04:17] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: if he had not done the restart, he would not have gotten an error [04:17] meowbuntu: then we are done talking [04:17] jeeez: sudo mount -a [04:17] i need to set a null address again [04:17] that si the problem [04:17] a 'null' address? === islington_ is now known as islington [04:17] like what, localhost?

[04:18] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> Error: SIOCADDRT: No such process [04:18] Gnea, yes i installed squid andset it up then i removed squid and now i cant access download apps cause it is looking for the proxy address that is not there anymore [04:18] switch10_: nothing happens! :\ [i'm on xmonad] [04:19] jeeez: what do you have listed in /media? [04:19] i know if i boot a live cd maby i can change config on hdd more easily [04:19] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> meowbuntu: most live cds revert any changes you make once you exit :p [04:20] switch10_: i don't get you. /media just has cdrom and cdrom0 [04:20] Gnea, yes i eant the default address that was using before i install squid [04:20] terry_: This is what I get when I run sudo dpkg -i: package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [04:20] meowbuntu: I have no idea what that was. [04:20] jeeez: thats where your disk should be mounted... [04:20] [B]lack[D]ragoN, no i can use live cd to access the config files on hdd cnt i [04:20] meowbuntu: why don't you just reinstall squid? [04:20] rixxy dpkg -i --force-all 'package.deb' [04:20] you don't need a gui to do that [04:20] after running updates and saving a new xorg.conf with nvidia-settings Grub freezes with a splash screen to choose a kernel [04:21] [B]lack[D]ragoN: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; netmask 255.255.255.0 ; route add default gw 192.168.1.1 ; ping 192.168.1.1 [04:21] what might have caused this? [04:21] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> meowbuntu: access, yes. save the changes, usually not. [04:21] switch10_: yeah, i'm not completely ignorant of how it works. its just that it doesn't seem to be working! === Slix` is now known as Slix`2115 [04:21] jeeez: I guess its not working then... [04:22] Gnea, stop please listen i am now repeating what i hve told you. i canot use apt becaues it is set to look for the proxy that squid was managing. but it cant find it [04:22] iflema: Thanks man! it works! [04:22] it works fine in gnome though! [04:23] [B]lack[D]ragoN, THATS RUBBISH. if i edit any txt or config file it chanes them if they are saved back on hdd done it heaps with my cv ect [04:23] Has anyone here had any issues with the google-ctemplate package? I need it to install MySQL Workbench. I installed the ctemplate package, but I still get the "missing google-ctemplate" error when I try to compile the Workbench source.

[04:24] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> and also, "operation is not permitted" [04:24] [B]lack[D]ragoN, so i cant save stuff i work on from a live cd to any external device or internal hdd. wow thats new to me [04:24] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> "connect network is unreachable" [04:24] [B]lack[D]ragoN: sudo [04:24] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: i did.

[04:25] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> AlTheKiller: ./configure --help [04:25] I realize this is a grub issue I'm having, but updates are what broke this. Does anyone have any ideas? [04:25] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> usually [04:25] uhh aren't they in the source package? [04:25] terry_, [B]lack[D]ragoN ^ IF NOT ITS OK [04:26] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Quite aware of that, I need to know which were used to build one of the ubuntu binary packages.

[04:27] terry_, is that for me [04:27] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> lol meowbuntu, yes you could save to an external device, i meant as in any changes you made on the drive would be erased. i meant no offense. [04:27] I'm looking for an "apt-* magic stuff package" command or something [04:27] Or...is there a devel channel? [04:28] [B]lack[D]ragoN, yes any changes made in the vurtial environment that the live cd creates in ram is lost true [04:28] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> as far as linux goes, my usefulness with ubuntu is pretty crappy....i know other distros much better [04:29] fluf [04:29] its similar though [B]lack[D]ragoN [04:29] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> else i wudnt be in here getting help for someone if i knew :p [04:29] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> eh.... [04:29] just needing to know what to edit [04:29] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Networking is same in all, only the config file is different. [04:29] why do systems with dual uplinks not work "out of the box"? mobos with multiple NICs are becoming very popular, but the steps needed to utulise them are confusing and often dont work after kernal updtaes [04:29] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> centos directories and commands are much different [04:29] bbs going to boot live cd [04:30] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: there are differences... /etc/network-scripts/eth0 <- centos | ubuntu -> /etc/network/interfaces [04:30] I'm staring at the grub menu list and can't boot past that.

[04:31] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> it didnt work [04:31] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> same problem [04:31] hello all [04:31] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> now...we are getting the wrong ip for broadcast. [04:32] can someone please help me with firefox? [04:32] blah [04:32] [B]lack[D]ragoN: You need to be more specific or we will not be able to help you. Sorry. [04:32] hmm [04:32] Firefox doesn't load, I remove it and reinstalled it again still doesn't load [04:32] can anyone actually see what I'm typing? [04:32] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> yes randomusr [04:33] any idea? anyone [04:33] lol [04:33] [B]lack[D]ragoN: What do you mean, "the wrong IP for broadcast"? [04:33] this bites [04:33] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> in ifconfig, the "broadcast" section is incorrect. [04:33] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> im pretty sure it shouldn't be broadcasting to 82.255.255.255 [04:34] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Yes you are right. Did you set the netmask wrong? [04:34] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: no i set it correctly. [04:35] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> its using a /29 netmask, instead of a /24 [04:35] botsnack [04:35] botsnack|ubottu [04:35] [B]lack[D]ragoN: We have given you enough information, if you need more try something like: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch05.en.html [04:36] pub: you forgot the !

[04:36] ok, thanks [04:37] why do systems with dual uplinks not work "out of the box"? mobos with multiple NICs are becoming very popular, but the steps needed to utulise them are confusing and often dont work after kernal updates.. i have to manually disable one of the interfaces after boot [04:37] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> terry_: had i been able to find the solution on google, or various linux/ubuntu forums, i wouldn't have come here for assistance. [04:37] gartral: What is the problem? [04:38] [B]lack[D]ragoN: Thank you ... [04:38] <[B]lack[D]ragoN> i have been searching for hours, as well as while ive been here [04:39] url [04:39] gartral: Do you have a specific question we can answer for you? [04:39] terry_: the "problem" is that my mobo has two net wires coming out out of it, and ubuntu doesnt seem to understand what to do when this happens, both are assigned an ip from the router, and i want the system to balence the load across the two nics... like it does in windoze.. [04:40] gartral: You only need to use one? [04:41] terry_: yes, true. but id'e *like* a balanced load.. it's faster and causes less lag in gaming [04:41] STill trying to find out what video card I have. Tried some google searches. found a few pages on terminal commands. This one was interesting http://www.webupd8.org/2009/03/20-great-linux-unix-terminal-commands.html but no success. Will you please help me? [04:41] gartral: Do you have to separate internet connections? [04:41] If I use ubiquity to install and I install onto a LVM that is looking for a RAID assembly, will my computer be able to boot (find the filesystem and mount it)? [04:41] There's a command for that. [04:42] gartral: Less lag in gaming? If anyting, it adds overhead. Unless it's a LAN game with many users. [04:42] terry_: not at all, both are plugged into the same router, which is plugged into the fiber trunk in my basement === Syndey is now known as SwimmingRat [04:42] I've been working on this freezing ubuntu for over a week. Last helpful hint was "what's your video card" so I've been trying to find out. [04:43] SwimmingRat: lspci | grep VGA [04:43] ok anyone know where i go to chang reh proxy settings. where is teh config file located. [04:43] Fishscene: when you have a internet connection faster than a single cat5e cable can transport.. the added cable does help. I enjoy a max ping to any server in the us of 17-20.. in windows.. in linux it jumps to 50-70 [04:43] (ms that is) [04:44] ping is not a measure of bandwidth. It's a mesure of latency. If you're piping more than 1GB to the internet for a game, something is definitely not right. [04:44] reh = the [04:44] Unless you're a host. === Kikas is now known as Master_RahL [04:44] In which case, I'll shut up :) [04:45] this i kind of urgetn [04:45] gartral: Are they gigabit NICs? [04:45] Fishscene, :) [04:45] SwimmingRat in a terminal type lspci | grep VGA [04:45] SwimmingRat, what iflema said :) [04:45] Fishscene: its not that im taking that much bandwidth, its that a single connection can only accept so many connections at any given moment, doubling up the connectins to your trunk doubles the number of connections you have [04:45] terry_: i am back now bit more calm [04:46] can you help [04:46] terry_: yes.. but that's where the gigabit pipe stops.. my cables are cat5e and my router only works on tx1k [04:46] meowbuntu: Check your network connection. ifconfig [04:46] terry_: i am in live cd wont work [04:47] hello girlz [04:47] perfect iflema mortici lspci | grep VGA ----> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

That wasn't working earlier. [04:51] 802.11ad [04:51] It now say's it's ignoring eth0 - which is the one I need to restart ... [04:51] gartral: nevermind find help elsewhere [04:51] ok everyone i need to know where the config file is for my proxy setting please. [04:51] gartral: You should not have to dissable a NIC on boot. I don't understand that. But.. this may be what you are looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding [04:52] terry_: link is right [04:52] gartral: Or: http://www.howtoforge.com/nic_bonding [04:52] gartral, the link i posted should do what you need it to do [04:52] meowbuntu: Let me see... [04:52] anyone used NXserver for remote access, I have a remote computer behind a modem and I would like to access it with out using port forwarding, Is it possible? [04:52] thanks i know you are busy terry_ [04:53] juancarlospaco: No luck in Guest session! [04:53] meowbuntu: Can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? [04:53] greezmunkey: purge, and reinstall brasero [04:53] hoe [04:53] mortici: thats a crapload of new things too install.. for an OS thats renound for "just working" this is highly unproductive.. and something that stinks more like a windows trick.. this is what im talking about.. why do we need to do all this crap to our computer for something that's becoming very commen in wide spread markets? [04:53] terry_: remember i am in lice cd [04:54] meowbuntu: What is a lice cd? [04:54] scommen/common [04:54] juancarlospaco: That was going to be my next question! I'll install K3B and see what happens - let you know, thanks! [04:54] gartral, you are the first person i have ever met in nearly 15 years that has bonded nics. [04:54] terry_: yes i can in terminal [04:55] ........................ [04:55] ........................................................... [04:55] gartral, either way, yes extra stuff is required it is what it is, i do not do development for ubuntu :) [04:55] meowbuntu: Oh, you must mean live CD. That's ok. So, you can ping 192.168.1.1 ? [04:55] oh thats typonees for live cd [04:55] ^ terry_ [04:55] i have bonmded nics [04:55] bonded [04:55] yeah I know and KMS killed the rock solid failsafe I was used to [04:56] terry_: yes i can ping it [04:56] SwimmingRat, hold on lemme check what the command was to keep a active view of dmesg, so you can see when the system locks if your getting a kernel panic error. [04:56] how to extract .rpm file in ubuntu? [04:56] local repo with bonded eth1/2/3 [04:56] suji11: alien [04:56] mortici: look at the trend in new high end mobos.. they ALL have two (or even MORE) NICs.. i never said i was going to follow through with bonding, but you gave me a wonderful start on what to point out [04:56] !alien [04:56] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [04:56] terry_: its ticking away in terminal as we speek [04:56] suji11, if you want to install it convert it to .deb with alien [04:56] meowbuntu: route -n #Does that return 192.168.1.1 ? [04:56] blakkheim: i have to extract the things only, not need to install. [04:56] meowbuntu: Ctrl n to stop it. [04:56] gartral: you can always download the DVD for having all the oackages aviable [04:56] SwimmingRat, when it locks do you get all three flashing lights (cap lock, num lock, scroll lock) or you tap cap lock and the light doesn't turn on or off? [04:57] meowbuntu: Hold Ctrl key down and hit n to stop from pinging. [04:57] xangua: what..? where was i talking about needing packages?

[04:59] are there logs I could check to try to find out what's going on? [04:59] I was wondering if I install 10.04 beta, when the complete version is released, will I just be patched through updates or will I have to completely reinstall? [04:59] what emerald theme for in compiz [04:59] terry_: seems ok yes [04:59] (it reboots after attempting to resume) [04:59] anyone know of a good media stream server other than gnump3d [04:59] does ubuntu keep a list of the files that are updated? [04:59] terry_: seems ok yes [05:00] meowbuntu: Your network connection is ok then. Anything else we can help you with? === Leif_ is now known as Leif [05:00] Serpher: updates only after you upgrade. But you should discuss the next release in #ubuntu+1 since it's not released yet. [05:00] Serpher: Lucid discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:00] if I type in a terminal "ifconfig eth0" Should I be able to see the gateway address? [05:01] I thought the gateway address would be listed there. But it's not and I have the interface statically configured- but I can't get online. [05:01] terry_: there is a config file on my hdd that i need to change. squid changed teh proxy setting in it. after i removed squid teh setting still remains [05:01] what emerald theme for in compiz [05:01] Fishscene, "ifconfig" alone will do it too [05:01] Yes. That too. But the gateway address does not show up. [05:02] settings of programs stay, you need purge [05:02] meowbuntu: Do you have the drive mounted right now? [05:02] terry_: in removing other apps i acdently removed ubuntu-desktop. it cant conect to apt as apt is looking for teh proxy so i cant reinstall squid to fix it see. [05:02] Everything was working fine until I made a static DHCP entry on my router. All of a sudden I couldn't get online, but the router is working just fine. [05:02] yes i do [05:02] meowbuntu: Do you have the drive mounted right now? If so, where is it mounted? [05:02] ^ terry_ yes [05:03] Fishscene: route [05:03] meowbuntu: Tell me the mount point? [05:03] I read a while back about being able to run android apps on ubuntu, but can't find anything on google, can anyone show me where to do it? [05:03] Thank you [05:03] Fishscene: will show you gateway [05:03] terry in /media/c8878eb1-d227-494a-8ad4-02aba33451cf [05:03] switch10: Thanks. I see the gateway listed as *. that doesn't seem right. [05:03] ^ terry_ [05:04] nvm. gateway just popped up. === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [05:04] Fishscene: ya it takes a sec [05:04] error starting gdm, "Failed to accuire: org.gnome.Desktopmanager" [05:04] Leif: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7172257171.html [05:05] terry_: its mounted in /media/c8878eb1-d227-494a-8ad4-02aba33451cf [05:06] gotto: Thanks [05:06] meowbuntu: Look at the etc/netwrok/interfaces file and see that it looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406330/ [05:07] meowbuntu: edit the file /media/c8878eb1-d227-494a-8ad4-02aba33451cf/etc/netwrok/interfaces [05:07] Erm, wait, so there is no builds at all to use?

[05:09] juancarlospaco: Heh, That was it - thanks man! [05:09] meowbuntu: Then add the next two. [05:09] ok [05:09] greezmunkey: YW [05:10] zfra: That's not the issue, I'm trying to get Overdrive media console to download audiobooks from my library [05:10] zfra: They released a windows and mac version. [05:10] And an android version... [05:10] juancarlospaco: YW? [05:10] zfra: I don't want to use windows or mac, and it doesn't work in WINE. [05:11] greezmunkey: you are welcome [05:11] someone knows diosdelared.com ?

Try and see. [05:13] add that 3rd line [05:13] ^ terry_ [05:13] juancarlospaco: So to wipe Brasero, apt-get purge brasero && apt-get install brasero? [05:13] meowbuntu: The 3rd line is only instructions for you. [05:13] when do i do that [05:14] ^ terry_ [05:14] #tahoe-lafs [05:14] greezmunkey: yes, remember the ubuntu-desktop metapackage need to be installed [05:14] after the reinstall [05:15] juancarlospaco: I'll check the web to be sure, thanks again. [05:15] terry_: ctrl-d jumps up a line [05:16] terry_: what is teh ctrl-d ment to do [05:16] ok. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. I have it set up to accept DHCP and everything seems to be working. I get an IP address from my router.. etc.. however, I can't ping my router or go anywhere online - even my router's config page. Any ideas what in the blazes is going on? Everything works fine from another machine on the network. [05:16] meowbuntu: http://pastebin.com/bzkbfehm [05:16] Ubuntu: Grub2 bootloader failed install. This is a fatal error." [05:16] hello everyone my ubuntu 9.10 wont boot i lost power an it shut down now when starting it says GRUB Loading. Out of range pointer 0xc0ea4f60 Aborted. Press any key to exit [05:17] Fishscene: can you ping 127.0.0.1? [05:17] i tried to run system rescue cd and RIP but both get a kernal panic can anyone help me get ubuntu back up and running? [05:17] yes. I can ping that address. [05:18] can you ping your machines external address? [05:18] Internet IP address? [05:18] meowbuntu: edit the file /media/c8878eb1-d227-494a-8ad4-02aba33451cf/etc/netwrok/interfaces and make it look like: http://pastebin.com/RF0SnpU1 [05:18] blue316: need sudo update-grub ; sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot from live CD [05:19] Fishscene: public IP [05:19] wait a sec. I wonder if there's an IP conflict going on. [05:19] If so, someone needs to slap linksys for me. [05:19] switch10_, can it be a problem with resolv.conf? [05:20] Fishscene: I do not think your router will issue the same IP twice. [05:20] juancalospaco ok but i cant run any live cd's they all get a kernal panic hold one il run ubuntu livecd again and give u the kernal panic error [05:20] Terry: wouldn't be the first time I've seen it happen =\ [05:20] Yes, I can ping 192.168.1.100 (The lan IP). Public IP is errelevant as I'm remoting into a VM. [05:20] Fishscene: Should be easy to find out if there is an IP conflict. [05:20] How do I tell? [05:21] Fishscene: ifconfig eth0 down #And go and ping the IP it had from another machine. [05:21] please can someone test if my ISP blocks my site, TYA: http://techie.homelinux.org/ <----it works? [05:21] Good idea. I'll check it out. [05:22] I've downloaded several movies. A few only show "Use windows Media Player" for about 50 seconds, that's it. Same thing when played with a windows laptop on media player. Are these bogus files, or is there a way to view them? [05:22] Fishscene, the only other thing i can think of is an issue in the /etc/network/interfaces file [05:22] Tamnakz: vlc [05:22] I have a logitech webcam and it shows up as /dev/video2. It works fine in cheese and similar, but skype can't use it (it does see it) and flash applications can't see it. Any ideas? [05:22] terry_ this is played in vlc. . . [05:22] Tamnakz, what file type? [05:22] .avi [05:23] Tamnakz: those are bogus files [05:23] goddamn. . . a gig of downloading for nothing. . . [05:23] ok. Something is goony alright. I just created a DHCP reservation for it with 192.168.1.113 [05:23] I brought the interface up and restarted networking and I got 192.168.1.100 [05:23] well, seven and change gis. . . [05:23] Fishscene: can you ping other machines on your network? [05:23] Tamnakz, Ive used "damaged" avi files in VLC, it plays the whole file, but using seek often causes it to crash. Ive never heard of anything like what you have described [05:24] Nope [05:24] Fishscene: What? [05:24] juancarlospaco: [5.034757] init[1]: segfault at 81a0804 ip 0806172f sp bffa6550 error 6 in sh[8048000+ec000] [5.034998] Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! is the error i get on live cd's do you know how to resolve this so i can fix the grub? [05:24] I need to install grub onto a RAID1. How do I proceed? [05:24] Fishscene: Where is your DHCP pool? [05:24] knoppies: ok, I've had three or four movies do the same :( [05:24] 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.50 [05:24] Fishscene: it must be an issue with your interface [05:24] sorry. 150 [05:25] Fishscene: And so you are trying to use a static IP of 192.168.1.113 ? [05:25] thanks folks! [05:25] yes [05:25] blue316: use the options on F6 on boot screen manu on the live cd [05:25] blue316: i hope it works [05:25] Fishscene: YOu need to set static IP addresses OUTSIDE of the dhcp pool. [05:26] hello [05:26] It actually requires that I set it inside the DHCP pool. [05:26] is there some who wants to speak with me? [05:26] Fishscene: You are mistaken. [05:26] It doesn't make sense to me either. [05:26] juancarlospaco: which f6 option ? acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on or free software only [05:26] why do i get a new device every time i plug in my phone? i think i ran out, how do i free them? [05:26] Fishscene, I know some routers allow you to set some IPs in a reserved list (so that it only gives that to a machine with the specified Mac address) but when trying to use it I kept getting "IP IN USE" errors. [05:27] hello [05:27] Tamnakz: are you trying to d/l movies that are current? [05:27] blue316: all of them except free soft [05:27] Fishscene: You have apparently missunderstood the documentation. Set static IP addresses outside the dhcp pool. [05:27] is there someone wants to talk with me? [05:27] ubottu: ot | luis_ [05:27] luis_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:27] nomadz_ this has happened with both older movies and new releases [05:27] Apparently linksys doesn't follow documentation. [05:27] blue316: think kinda safe mode [05:27] terry_, Some routers do not let an IP that is outside the pool to use the Internet. [05:28] Tamnakz: does it happen with any movie regardless? [05:28] juancarlospaco: trying i hope it boots really need to go to bed lol [05:28] If I set it outside the scope, it spits up an error telling me it has to be within the scope. [05:28] knoppies: only broken routers won't [05:28] * iflema within [05:28] nomadz_ no, only certain ones. and it's not an error, it's a video of static text [05:28] well i would like to change my keyboard [05:29] Fishscene, what router model do you have? [05:29] 9.10 [05:29] knoppies: Then the router's configuration needs to be changed. But ..we are not talking about internet access here, we are talking about network configurations and you do not set static IPs inside of the DHCP pool. [05:29] terry_, I know that. But I also know you can reserve IPs inside the DHCP pool. And Im wondering if its not worth a try. [05:29] Question regarding Ubuntu server. Should I go for the 8.04 LTS, or 9.10. It's for a DVR, on an ASUS mb AMD phenom2. [05:29] Wait. There may be some confusion... I'm creating a DHCP reservation - not a static IP on the host. [05:30] I installed an unstable applet on my Gnome Panel, and it left three unclickable white dots on my panel, where is the Gnome Panel config file where I can manually edit the applets? [05:30] greezmunkey, you might want to hold out for 10.04, I think its also a LTR [05:30] knoppies: Go ahead but you are barking up the wrong tree. [05:30] terry_, k. [05:30] knoppies: yeah, but this has to be built before the end of the week. [05:30] Fishscene, ah, that clears up a few things. [05:30] Fishscene: You need to tell us exactly what you are trying to do and what problem you are having. [05:31] terry_: i still get this error. "could not conect to 127.0.0.1:8080 (127.0.0.1) connection failed" there must be another config file. [05:31] greezmunkey: 8.04 wont be supported after next month... [05:31] greezmunkey, then I would say the newer one. As the older LTS is about to be replaced. [05:31] Alright guys. Yea, sorry for the confusion. My fault. At this point, I successfully knocked out my router, so I'm no longer able to continue tonight. [05:31] switch10_: knoppies: Yikes, glad I asked! [05:31] * meowbuntu thinks knoppies is a knoppix user [05:31] I need help installing grub onto a RAID1... I get error 21 from grub. # root (hd0,0) Selected disk does not exist. [05:32] any more ideas terry_ [05:32] Fishscene: How did you "knock out" the router? [05:32] meowbuntu, Im using ubuntu right now, the first linux I used was knoppix, but havnt used it since 1998ish. knoppies in my native language stands for: LOTS OF LITTLE BUTTONS. sorry about being OT. [05:32] Made a change to DHCP and I can no longer remote in to my VM server. [05:32] meowbuntu, I was nicknamed knoppies before I even heared of knoppix. So its not related. [05:32] Leif: at libreplanet2010 Lee Williams, Symbian Foundation, gave the talk Freeing the Smart Phone OS, so now is free to try [05:32] knoppies, you don't have to worry about what meowbuntu says, he has no clue what he's talking about [05:33] switch10_, knoppies, greezmunkey: 8.04 is supported until April 2011 on the desktop and April 2013 on the server... [05:33] also, that is pretty awesome [05:33] great the troll is back again [05:33] OH YES THE TROLL [05:33] switch10_: knoppies: get this, my company already ordered the hardware - including a mb that (I found) has lockup problems. I am doomed do fail. [05:33] that's why you were banned [05:33] meowbuntu, ShazbotMcNasty: Break it up, please. If you feel like sniping at each other, do it in PM or something. [05:33] again [05:33] rww, k :3 [05:34] * iflema :) === Plinker__ is now known as Plinker [05:34] ShazbotMcNasty, Im not worried, I just like that he has shown an interest. [05:34] greezmunkey, ouch. [05:34] ShazbotMcNasty: i am recieving help from terry_ atm leave us alone to work out things plese [05:34] meowbuntu, I already stopped [05:34] greezmunkey, I would check the ubuntu site for the support dates, apparently its supported till next year. [05:34] meowbuntu: Sorry... where were we? [05:34] terry_: what the next thing i can try [05:34] meowbuntu: Did it work? [05:35] terry_: i still get this error. "could not conect to 127.0.0.1:8080 (127.0.0.1) connection failed" there must be another config file. [05:35] Fishscene, Im trying to connect to your site and its been going for more than 5mins [05:35] meowbuntu: THat error means that you are pointing your browser to an internal web server that is apparently not running. [05:35] i am not sure where we would go to get config files [05:36] meowbuntu: Which is just an issue with the browser or the URL you are giving it. [05:36] knoppies: I found a few pointers about the mb, and I'll use software raid rather than the faker. It'll probably be ok - but it's going to cost 'em. [05:36] terry the internal webserver was squid. [05:36] My site? [05:36] meowbuntu: squid is not a webserver. [05:36] ^ terry_ also i am not use web browsers i was trying to use apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop again [05:36] If you're using 192.168.x.x - it won't work. It's not an internet-routable IP address. [05:37] Fishscene, did you not ask if http://techie.homelinux.org/ worked? [05:37] Nope. Must've been someone else. [05:37] Fishscene: its thsi 127.0.0.1 [05:37] Fishscene, oh, sorry. Must have miss read when xchat bumped the text up. [05:37] * nomadz__ thinks terry_ is being played [05:38] meowbuntu: Pardon, it seems I can't get anything right tonight :P I was speaking to knoppies. No worries :) [05:38] meowbuntu, he was not refering to your site. he was refering to his network setup. [05:38] meowbuntu: ping -c 3 av.com [05:38] meowbuntu: What does that do? [05:38] juancarlospaco: its still not booting live cd says BIOS bug, local APIC #0 not detected!... forcing use of dummy APIC emulation. (tell your hw vendor) then it just sits here [05:39] terry_: everything was wotking fine untill i removed squid [05:39] and its dependancies [05:39] meowbuntu: Yes I understand that, but does not tell you what is wrong. Can you ping av.com ? [05:40] blue316: check your RAM with the memory test [05:40] !help [05:40] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:40] by pressing shift+num lock, my num pad can be used as a mouse. hitting the / or - key on numpad changes the "5" left or right click. my question is, how do i map these to more convenient keys? i'd like to have left and right click mapped to a key on the keyboard. === brendan_ is now known as Guest77058 [05:40] terry_: its working ok [05:40] !help [05:41] !commands [05:41] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[05:47] meowbuntu: In other words, when you booted from the HDD, were you able to ping av.com or google.com ? [05:47] normanclegg: i still get this error. "could not conect to 127.0.0.1:8080 (127.0.0.1) connection failed" there must be another config file. [05:47] how do i enable wireless driver in ubuntu? [05:47] meowbuntu: Where are you getting that error? From firefox? [05:47] juancarlospaco: not real sure how to read the mem test how long does it run has bunch of stuff in red figure means the issue is bad ram? [05:48] avash: sudo ifconfig up [05:48] meowbuntu is this in logs or did something you expected to work, not work ? [05:49] normanclegg: i was removing apps i did not use today accidently purged some ubuntu-desktop ones removing that. from my install i can get to terminal only adn when i try to install using apt i get that error === james is now known as Guest80523 [05:49] blue316: its strange that it kernel panic from live cd, maybe its something with ram or hdd [05:49] switch10_: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [05:49] meowbuntu: sudo dhclient [05:49] meowbuntu ah, ok. thanks. [05:49] blue316: if you cant boot, you cant fix anything [05:50] avash: does ifconfig list your wireless device? [05:50] normanclegg: soemtning i was working on changed some ubuntu default setting all i need to know is where teh config is so i can change it back [05:50] switch10_: no [05:50] i am using commandline FTP to upload files (and directories) but only files are being uploaded when i do "mput *" [05:50] terry_: same thing apt-get [05:50] switch10_: is it wlan0 or eth0? [05:51] avash: wlan0 [05:51] terry_: remember i cant reinstall the removed ubuntu-desktop. [05:51] switch10_: then it is now shown in ifconfig [05:51] so sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [05:51] terry_: no the error is happening when i try to reinstall ubuntu-desktop on my hdd. thats y i am in live cd [05:51] switch10_: i said.. SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [05:51] that is the error [05:52] is it PCI, USB, ... [05:52] one thing that faile with any linux os is that it cant reinstall like windows [05:52] switch10_: pci [05:52] when things go rong [05:52] normanclegg: See that /etc/resolv.conf contains valid nameserver IP addresses. See that the /etc/hosts file looks something like what you see now. (Do cat /etc/hosts ) See that route -n returns what you see now. etc.. [05:52] switch10_: isnt it installed from synaptic package manager? [05:53] meowbuntu do you have a separate /home folder / [05:53] with xp i used to just reinstall it and all it did was reinstalled defaule os adn left my docks intqacted [05:53] normanclegg: no [05:53] How to make Ubuntu not automount /dev/sdb1? [05:53] home is /home [05:53] meowbuntu then you used to lose all your personal data in windows too [05:53] If you can pastebin some of the config files we can look and see, but other than that, there are just too many possibilities. [05:54] terry_: i never tryed that you never mentioned it [05:54] I need some serious help install grub onto my boot partition. [05:54] meowbuntu you must set a separate /home [05:54] hi , im using a dvi to hdmi adapter to plug my htpc into my vizio vx37l, the issue im running into is no matter what resolution im at, the top and bottom are cut off [05:54] terry_: but i could access xchat [05:54] adn irssi [05:54] meowbuntu: Tell us where the HDD is mounted. [05:55] so... [05:55] juancarlospaco: think its ram since it shows Errors but since i dont really know how to read Memtest86+ i could be wrong sucks nothing is open to go get new ram and how would I know if it was both my sticks or just 1 [05:55] Maletor: No problem. 1) Boot from a LiveCD 2) do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" or similar 3) do "sudo chroot /dev/sda1" (your linux partition) and "sudo update-grub" [05:55] meowbuntu with a separate /home you can mess up the OS and reinstall and all your data will still exist. [05:55] /media/ === avash is now known as Avasz [05:55] meowbuntu: See my private message [05:55] sort of yes [05:55] theadmin: It is on RAID1 [05:56] Maletor: Oh. You never mentioned that. Sorry, don't have any raid experience [05:56] blue316: it brings up horrible red errors on hexa characters on the empty list that replaces the "no errors" thing [05:56] 'Passwords and Encryption Keys' > Other Keys > Validity lists 3 values: 'Full', 'Unknown' and 'Revoked'. Are ther more? [05:57] yea it has 1,000's of red errors so id say thats it in the middle where it says Walltime cached rsvdmem memmap etc it says errors 760064 so i say my ram is f'd there anyway to fix ram i dont know clear it or something no stores are open till 10 an i have to work at 6am :( [05:57] I am recieving the following message when I run apt-get upgrade: http://pastebin.com/2iFs9yeA - is there a reason for this? [05:58] I mean, I get what it says, but is there a reason it should be set like that [05:58] How do you find out your computer name thats displayed over a network? [05:58] kerebrus: "hostname" [05:59] kerebrus: ms networking? === eric is now known as Guest22952 [05:59] Maletor i dont mean to be a pain, you're obviously clued, can you tell us how you got to the point of needing to reinstall grub ? more than 1 OS ? [05:59] Aedrich: Maybe some of packages you have are dependent on a specific kernel [06:00] hoe do i chank device names please [06:01] normanclegg: I did ubiquitous installer, it said fatal, 'grub-install /dev/sda failed' that command returns can't find /boot. My drives are RAID1 /dev/md0 mnting as /boot and RAID5 /dev/md1 mounting on '/' which contains an LVM for root partition and swap. [06:01] blue316 sometimes you can just rearrange the ram in the slots. not often tho. [06:01] As of now, I'm getting the alternate installer, because all the guides I'm reading normanclegg, say to use it. I don't think RAID and LVM are compiled into the kernel of a desktop install. [06:02] theadmin: thanks [06:02] Maletor alternate is for SURE the way to start out with what you describe. the livecd boot image is not. [06:03] juancarlospaco: yea taking it apart now to clean it out make sure everything is connected and take 1 of the sticks out at a time but geesh thats a pain with all the stuff i have in it lol [06:03] i'm try to make automount for my constantly media, but i denied to edit /etc/fstab. so, what am i doing? [06:03] But I just did, normanclegg, the apt-get install lvm2 mdadm [06:03] ubiquitous is misleading. [06:03] blue316: may the force be with you... [06:04] Maletor i'm not sure after the fact, that would help. livecd install is for very simple installs [06:04] SwimmingRat, when it locks do you get all three flashing lights (cap lock, num lock, scroll lock) or you tap cap lock and the light doesn't turn on or off? --- NO I DONT. Sorry I was out to lunch (as if) my leg hurt and I had to go away from sitting. [06:05] MY ISSUE: (recap) My Ubuntu has been freezing.

[06:06] SwimmingRat: This should do an emergencry reboot. If it does not, it's a kernel panic :/ [06:06] OK, I tried that with alt but it didnt work. oops theadmin [06:06] no kidding [06:06] excellent. I'll put that in my remember it file. [06:07] normanclegg: how can I boot then? [06:08] randomusr are you using the alt ? [06:08] alternate cd? no [06:08] 'Passwords and Encryption Keys' > Other Keys > Validity lists 3 values: 'Full', 'Unknown', and 'Revoked'. Are there more? [06:08] I believe grub 1.97 may have installed automatically without my persmission maybe [06:09] was it pushed out through update manager? [06:09] hey guys is there an ubuntu or any linux release that is similar to a vmware server or citrix like a workstation management tool? [06:09] randomusr 10.04 ? [06:09] picard1421 GOOD question. [06:09] yes [06:09] anybody know how to make it so i can copy/paste into gftp using the keyboard? when i try to ctrl+v it just says not connected to a server instead of pasting [06:10] digitalfiz: does Shift+Insert work? [06:10] ***jeopardy music*** [06:10] picard1421 a linux release with minimal stuff plus virtualbox, ready for any other OS to load [06:10] digitalfiz: ctrl-v only works if ctrl-c is done first, it's a different clipboard than the simple select+click method [06:11] virtual box is that like VMware workstations etc? [06:11] greezmunkey, yes it does any way to switch it to the ctrl+v method? messing up my workflow hehe [06:11] normanclegg: I'm on 10.04, is Grub 1.97 the default loader used? [06:11] randomusr I can't assure you it'll work, but i would not give up without trying the alternate install. [06:11] picard1421: yeah [06:11] on lucid my bookmark and history firefox is disabled! [06:11] im looking for something [06:11] digitalfiz: see what Gnea said, I don't know right now. Sorry. [06:12] along the lines of this situation.. Want something with a good GUI and basically is a giant server.. Then people use thinclients to connect to the server... [06:12] Gnea, thats not the problem the problem is it seems like ctrl+v is bound to something else in gftp [06:12] normanclegg, it was booting fine until friday night. anyway to rescue the current system? [06:12] randomusr livecd's are livecds intended primarily to give a livecd experience. [06:12] Gnea, greezmunkey it works fine in filezilla was just looking for a slightly more lightweight and faster gui ftp client [06:13] hmm so the installed system is hosed? [06:13] randomusr so the install DID work for sometime and then after boot after reboot after reboot it failed to reboot ? [06:13] normanclegg: with seperat /home and /data partitions you can mess up the OS and reinstall all you like but i have a small hdd [06:13] normanclegg: something like that [06:14] digitalfiz: ah... weird [06:14] randomusr http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=grub+repair&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [06:14] I was rebooting without issues.

[06:21] meowbuntu i did yes. The /root does NOT need to be 8 gigs. try 5 or even less. [06:21] why after sync my music with ipod , i cant see them in ipod [06:21] Isn't "/root" like $HOME for the root user? [06:22] what's the command to search for a match in the repositories? [06:22] meowbuntu /root can be even as small as 4 gigs or less. [06:22] Someguy771: Try: "apt-cache search something" [06:23] Has Ubuntu One worked well for anyone here?

[07:48] Subitaneous, there is a post by Old_Grey (or gray)_wolf on ubuntu forums that gives the best hints. He ahs about 5 things to paste in terminal AFTER you instal Medibuntu. dont mess with gstreamer. [07:49] Question regarding ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso, is this the server version, it's supposed to be - but no "server" in the name?? [07:49] Tell Subitaneous if you know better or think I am wrong. THat was the hard thing, getting started. Hard for me anyway. [07:49] greezmunkey: no, that's the alternate version. the server version has "server" where yours has "alternate"... [07:49] Avasz if your wifi were common, it'd have been installed automatically. [07:49] kinja-sheep: well even gparted does not pick it up but teh ubuntu installer does whats up with that [07:49] !ndiswrapper | Avasz [07:49] Avasz: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:49] so what do i do now? [07:50] rww: I need server, but also software raid support. Read about it and asked here - alternate was suggested. [07:50] And Subitaneous - synaptic is a failure IMHO to install things (eg xchat) use terminal and say -- sudo apt-get install xchat -- I use xchat2 -- And ubuntuforums is really good. [07:50] Avasz, go get ndiswrapper and use windows driver [07:50] Avasz: what wifi card you have? [07:50] Avasz does not mean it can't be made to work tho. Is this a notebook ? [07:50] almoxarife: broadcom bcm4311 [07:50] no its not a note book [07:51] greezmunkey: the alternate CD and server CD use the same installer (and both support RAID). server uses a different kernel with various configuration changes optimized for servers, alternate uses the normal desktop kernel. [07:51] it worked fine when i had ubuntu 9.04.. i found the driver in system-->administration-->hardware dirivers [07:51] rww: dohhh, oh well - now I have both! [07:51] Avasz: you are using karmic? [07:51] Avasz, http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ [07:51] almoxarife: yes [07:52] why when I install glib 2.24, then try to install gegl [07:52] it says I don't have 2.24 [07:52] I want to smash it [07:52] kinja-sheep: teh hdd is a sata conected to a sataide card on old computer [07:52] maybe i can install it from synaptic.

[07:54] Avasz it won't make you giddy, but it might make you feel better a little. I had about 20 PfSense routers out on customers set to update automatically. They All had wifi cards. On an update, all the wifi cards ceased to function. [07:55] ok [07:55] atag [07:55] Avasz: I assume you already know to get this package broadcom-sta-common [07:55] almoxarife: ?? [07:55] I have libnet6-1.3-dev, but ./configure complains: configure: error: libnet >= 1.1.2.1 not found [07:56] sie it wants an older version of libnet ? [07:56] Avasz: look for that package in synaptic [07:56] normanclegg: Doesnt >= means newer than 1.1.2.1? [07:57] almoxarife: there was one called bcmwl-kernel-source [07:57] could someone help out please? ive got 2 nics, one is realtek and its integrated and working fine, while the other is a us robotics and it doesnt appear to be working. the realtek module is being assigned to it so in lspci its appearing as another realtek.. lspci -v shows more interesting info please check it out here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406374/ [07:57] sie i'm sorry, yes.

[07:58] what is b43-fwcutter? [07:58] From time to time, my left mouse button stops working. Both touchpad and external mouse. Right button works in both places. Running 9.10. Need to restart gdm to fix it. Annoying when I'm in the middle of something with lots of windows open... Have tried restarting hal and compiz. No luck. Any suggestions? [07:58] rww: shall i install bfw-fwcutter? [07:58] Avasz it that does not work, come back here. [07:58] almoxarife: because it only exists in Lucid and is the same as bcmwl-kernel-source except more difficult to install? [07:58] Avasz: you should install bcmwl-kernel-source and b43-fwcutter [07:59] Avasz you should not have to use fwcutter [07:59] Avasz that was 2 years ago [07:59] Avasz: b43-fwcutter is the firmware installer for B43 cards. [07:59] ok.. one says install b43-fwcutter.. and one says dont install it [07:59] rww, could you check this paste log real quick please? im lost as to what is going on with my second nic [07:59] rww: that's a very good reason then, as I grovel away.....

[08:05] I use 200MB for /boot, 10GB for /, some for swap, and the rest for /home [08:06] I've got a 10.04 install on the other disk [08:06] can that be resized later? [08:06] what pkgs provide vim and vi? [08:06] tvaughn /root 6 gigs /home 10 gigs [08:06] I don't bother much with fancy partition schemes any more.

[08:07] it seems to me that after a while of the system running things start getting a bit muddled up and everything takes a bit longer than before ... till it gets to the point where I just have to reboot .... :( [08:07] tvaughn: talking to me? [08:07] yes [08:08] tvaughn 200MB for /boot, 6GB for /, 1GB for swap, and the rest for /home [08:08] zetheroo: who reboots [08:08] tvaughn: no .. But i was verifying something while i came across this... [08:08] tvaughn: who? [08:08] normanclegg: what is the reason for boot being on a seperate partition? [08:08] tvaughn: I reboot the computer ... [08:08] in case of failure [08:08] zetheroo: why? [08:09] Lets say your your linux partition completely goes fubar [08:09] heyyyyyy its working! [08:09] w00000000000000000000000h0000000000000 [08:09] you can still boot into recovery because of your seperate partition [08:09] ext3? [08:09] tvaughn none at all in the modern desktop [08:10] normanclegg: was that the response to /boot? [08:10] tvaughn but why make a big deal out of 200mb ? [08:10] tvaughn: as I said ... things slow down ... like maximising an open PP presentation from it's minimized position or even pasting a line in here ... it's like the hdd has to constantly play catch up to something for several second before anything happens [08:10] im not I was simply curious :) [08:10] tvaughn YOU mentioned /boot [08:10] no actually I only asked about / and /home you mentioned boot and I curiously asked why [08:11] tvaughn ok. then ignore any reference to /boot I've had too much alcohol [08:12] normanclegg: where is mine? [08:12] I am noticing also that once I close my 12 or so FF tabs that FF is still consuming up to 200mb of RAM ... when it should only be using about 50mb with a single tab [08:12] Sorry guys a bit off topic, any CCNA's here? [08:12] zetheroo: try closing firefox? [08:12] tvaughn the beer was way too hoppy and the merlot cost me $6 per 1.5 liter. [08:13] was it good? [08:13] the merlot [08:13] 'Passwords and Encryption Keys' > Other Keys > Validity lists 3 values: 'Full', 'Unknown', and 'Revoked'. Are there more? [08:13] tvaughn: yeah ... not really a solution ... FF should be only taking up what it needs [08:13] zetheroo: thought linux was past the whole rebooting thing :| [08:13] zetheroo what browser are you using and what is the problem ??? [08:13] I had someone yelling at me for not turning off my pc at night [08:14] in an AP computer science class :| [08:14] how do I get a windows java based application working on ubuntu? [08:14] Someguy771: whats a windows based java application? [08:14] all in all I am not sold on performance in Ubuntu ... I have a powerful system with plenty of resources ... this thing should be wizzing around the corners ... but it's not [08:14] how can it be windows based.. [08:14] tvaughn: yeah - ha [08:14] tvaughn because it spoiled the view of the bay at night ? [08:14] I mean a windows application that runs on java? [08:14] zetheroo: you use gnome? [08:14] tvaughn: yes [08:15] tvaughn she may have been coming on to you. [08:15] is it an exe? [08:15] normanclegg: it was a guy. [08:15] tvaughn i'm open to that. [08:15] zetheroo: that may be a problem [08:15] gnome is somewhat sluggish [08:15] tvaughn: no special setup or anything either ... [08:15] tvaughn: gnome is sluggish? [08:15] tvaughn: first time I heard that .... [08:16] http://thebeezspeaks.blogspot.com/2007/07/three-reasons-not-to-use-gnome.html [08:16] zetheroo, I agree with him. [08:16] its not the first time you've heard of gnome being sluggish [08:16] knoppies: whats your favorite? [08:16] normanclegg: didn't linux make a comment about ubuntu being more like windows? [08:17] can someone have a look at my logs and tell me if things are screwed up? ... cause I don't like the look of them ... [08:17] linus* [08:17] zetheroo, tvaughn I like gnome though, I can tweak it to my favourite. Even though it is a little sluggish, I learn to live with it (It doesnt help that Im on a slow machine). [08:17] zetheroo: I read that legs.... [08:17] tvaughn, still gnome. === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [08:17] that means time for bed in my book [08:17] tvaughn i submit that zetheroo is not telling the truth or he was born day before yesterday. [08:18] normanclegg: why? [08:18] zetheroo: everyone has heard of gnome being sluggish, its common knowledge [08:18] What's the name of the channel where I can discuss 10.04? [08:18] why are my logs completely littered with pulseaudio suppressed events? [08:18] Han: #ubuntu+1 [08:18] Han: #ubuntu+1 [08:18] cheers [08:18] rww: you beat me :( [08:18] tvaughn: well ... now it is even more common than before :P [08:19] tvaughn if you have to sleep, then sleep. [08:19] speedy rww is speedy. [08:19] normanclegg: I meant because I said I read logs as legs [08:19] rww: shouldnt your name be rwx? [08:19] :) [08:19] and isnt it read twice write once? [08:19] I've added the mozilla repo and gotten thunderbird 3.03. will that break when I upgrade to lucid because lucid will give me 3.01? [08:19] tvaughn: I've considered changing my last name to Xylophone >.> [08:19] * tvaughn wonders if anyone picks up on measure twice cut once. [08:20] I have scores of pulseaudio messages and kernel messages too [08:20] rww: why is that [08:20] tvaughn the Ubuntu framework is unbeatable. [08:20] something about NTSC ... [08:20] Kartagis: assuming that Lucid and the PPA use the same packagename, it'd continue using the PPA because the version number there is higher. [08:20] is there a way to turn off monitors from the command line? [08:21] rww, good [08:21] arooni-mobile: unless you can get your computer to press buttons.. [08:21] hi everyone === |Russellalan| is now known as RussellAlan [08:21] im sure theres a way to put the monitor to sleep though :) [08:21] tvaughn but i want the very minimal install that uses the ubuntu foundation. [08:21] tvaughn, what about that power saving feature where it turns off power ot them after inactivity [08:21] what is this?? [08:21] CRON[18681]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) [08:21] put them to sleep exactly [08:22] arooni-mobile: I want monitors that can be turned off by the computer, it gets hard to press those buttons sometimes heh, plus I had a monitor that its power button didnt work.. [08:22] zetheroo: cron running the cron hourly script [08:22] rww: is that normal? ... [08:22] zetheroo: yes [08:23] ok [08:23] wish I knew the command btw [08:23] I dont :( [08:23] rww: do you know what this is? kernel: [27226.706920] [drm] TV-15: set mode NTSC 480i 0 [08:24] zetheroo: the kernel's DRM (direct rendering manager, not digital rights management) module detecting what's attached to your video card, I'd assume [08:25] im running ubuntu 9.10 under gnome, i usually used to use kde, but it hink i grew up maybe. well, firefox seems to be eating all resources. [08:25] DRM (direct rendering manager - that isn't crap ? [08:25] arooni-mobile: xset dpms force off would turn off the monitor [08:26] FireCrotch, how to turn it back on [08:26] rww: and it's normal for that to be happening every now and then i guess ... [08:26] arooni-mobile: xset dpms force on [08:26] normanclegg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager [08:26] RussellAlan, I think its a 3rd party flash thing. [08:26] RussellAlan, when you say resources you mean RAM or CPU usage? [08:26] cpu [08:26] FireCrotch, so if i want to do turn it back on from the comptuer itself; i couldnt (id have to be on a diff computer ot do that right? [08:27] RussellAlan, I used to have that issue (100% CPU usage while idling) and it turned out to be a 3rd party flash plugin, I forget what its called. [08:27] FireCrotch, anyway to just put it to sleep and have mouse movements etc wake it up === ShazbotMcNasty is now known as ShazbotMcMurder [08:27] rww: last one I promise :) .....

I don't understand pulseaudio :( [08:28] rww: ok no worries .. thansk [08:28] thanks [08:28] FireCrotch, ah k thx [08:30] arooni-mobile: just a warning though, it might not work with your monitor or your video card [08:30] Guys, any CCNA's here? === mentr_bnc is now known as mentr [08:32] ubottu: ot | SA_Bluego [08:32] SA_Bluego: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:35] I was close [08:36] just some advice, sorry to post that here in the ubuntu room, my bad. === damn is now known as Guest89320 [08:36] if you wanted cisco... there is a #cisco channel [08:36] I just attempted to migrate from debian stable -> ubuntu 9.10, on every boot of my finalized installation of 9.10 the screen starts flashing at the login prompt and so does my numlock, the only thing that works is c-a-d so my ubuntu is DOB :( but my debian kernel is working fine, anyone had this problem before? [08:37] Thunderguy, never tried such a thing, the way I would do it (for distro upgrades as well) is backup all my data, do a clean fresh install, move/copy data back. [08:37] i don;t have ccna but i know lot about network, so maybe you will ask? [08:37] debian may have sold out to the feds [08:38] normanclegg: what do you mean?

[08:38] ah [08:39] tvaughn I wouldd be crazy if that happened to me. [08:39] normanclegg: and personally, I'd recommend that if you've "had too much alcohol", you perhaps should go do something other than be on IRC. [08:39] should I do Login automatically. require my password. require my password to log in and decrypt my home folder [08:39] rww: I think theres a bash.org quote about iwi [08:40] tvaughn be patient and carefully look at your isp [08:41] guys [08:41] rww is right and if he/she has any ideas I'd be happy to support him/her [08:41] i have completly planning my new build for my new computer [08:41] it shall have 4 gtx 480's in it [08:41] yes 4 [08:41] =] can't wait [08:42] gtx 480...

They're great guys. [08:46] can anyone help a newblet out? I'm new to ubuntu coming from windblows and need some info [08:46] IS there a way to find out the default ./configure ation of a package in the repositories??? [08:46] bluedog5, your in the right place. Anything in particular? [08:47] bluedog5 [08:48] * tvaughn is using windblows :'( *cries shamefully in a corner* [08:48] bluedog5 hey there === mdupont is now known as Phurl [08:49] How do I find out what ./configure parameters a UBUNTU package installs with? [08:49] sorry i couldn't type [08:49] ManDay: packages normally dont use ./configure you can see the default in debian/rules [08:49] debian? [08:50] bluedog5, thats ok, we still here. [08:50] ManDay: have a look how a package is created [08:50] Is that the directory within the package? [08:50] ManDay: yes === kc-net is now known as cew [08:50] http://webcast.cern.ch/lhcfirstphysics/ [08:50] ubottu: ot | Barachiel [08:50] Barachiel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:50] and there I can find the parameters which I will have to pass to ./configure so that the source compiles exactly (or at least almost) as the package from the repos, Iceroot? [08:50] if i don't write back it's because im having trouble [08:51] Barachiel: is this live [08:51] ManDay: the packages are already build [08:51] yes [08:51] anyways i have a question about how to secure my ubuntu [08:51] iceroot, thats what im saying [08:51] iceroot, I want to know what ./configure parms i have to compile a source with so it ends up like the bins from the repos [08:51] ManDay: at buildprocess debian/rules is executed, there you can do what you want [08:51] is that what i can obtain from /debian/rules? [08:52] bluedog5, I take similar precautions to when I used windows, but dont worry about it too much. But Im keen to see what others say. [08:52] iceroot, do you understand me now? [08:52] ManDay: then have a look at such a package in debian/rules and maybe debian/control (architecutr) [08:52] can i not just copy the ./configure parameters 1-to-1 from somewhere? [08:52] i did do some research before asking questions and i did learn you still need to secure ubuntu brb [08:53] bluedog5, of course you do. In my opinion the most secure machine, is the one that never gets turned on. [08:54] lol yea or never connects to the intertnet [08:55] iceroot, is that not possible? [08:55] anyways i'm sure someone has came up with a liveCD that is focused on keeping you private? [08:56] knoppies: try unplugging the cat5 it does wonders [08:56] tvaughn, agreed, but whats the fun in that? [08:56] knoppies: wheres the fun in never turning it on [08:57] bluedog5: that'd be backtrack iirc [08:57] Hello, can we integrate GNotes with Evolution? Like KJots in Kontact? [08:57] tvaughn, I was using exaggeration to imply that there is always a risk, no matter how hard you try. [08:57] I truly think it to be a nice idea, but could not figure it out, [08:57] what was that tva? [08:57] knoppies: I know and im teasing you abou tit [08:58] backtrack? [08:58] hehe [08:58] yea [08:58] crossposting from #gnome, but it seems to be kinda dead there so i hope you don't mind. [08:58] Friends, any solution? [08:58] bluedog5, you will learn that the key auto completes things for you. In the terminal it can do folder/file names, commands, in IRC it does other peoples names (so long as they are in the channel). [08:58] anyways, anyone who can help me out with a probably simple gconf issue? [08:58] its a linux distro for security testing [08:58] sjorsr: Oh, what is it? === jos_ is now known as jos[] [08:58] bluedog5: and it makes my client tell me you wanted to talk to me [08:58] the problem is as follows: i am working with tablet pc's and am using an onscreen keyboard application that stores its position in gconf. now, if the user rotates the screen the keyboard is in the wrong place. no problem, i can update the location in gconf, and when i do so in gconf-editor the changes are applied straightway [08:59] How can I download a package without installing it, so I can check out debian/rules? [08:59] however, if i do so through gconftool-2 (which would be preffered to automate the process) the value seems to get updated but the changes are not applied. [08:59] gconftool-2 --set /apps/florence/window/xpos --type=int 100 is the command i'm using, but there seems to be something going wrong. [08:59] sjorsr: Oh, sorry, :( But I am not familiar with Tablet PC in Linux [08:59] it's not just the value, any random setting (like window decoration, transparency, simple booleans don't seem to get applied with gconftool-2 straightaway [09:00] ah it's not so much to do with the tablet itself, the problem lies in gconftool-2 here. [09:00] Don't ya just love days where you haven't accomplished a dang thing [09:00] is ther an apt-get install for filezilla [09:00] and does chrome run well on gnome? === jon is now known as Guest30887 [09:01] RussellAlan, I use nautilus for ftp/ssh Ive never tried chrome on gnome, I downloaded it the other day but Ive been rather busy since. [09:01] sjefen6: tried --set-schema? [09:01] RussellAlan, you could have a look at the synaptic package manager for filezilla. [09:02] sjorsr: tried --set-schema? [09:03] hmm [09:03] 1sec [09:04] nope, no cigar [09:04] what is some decent font for x-chat? [09:04] not monotype [09:07] anyone have a recccoomendattion for an amazing music player? [09:08] RussellAlan, mm amazing no but I use rhythmbox [09:08] rhytmbox is fine, i personally still prefer xmms [09:08] i like rhythmbox, but i want something more full featured [09:08] RussellAlan, try songbird [09:08] oh, more features :P [09:08] yeah songbird is nice as well. [09:09] +1 xmms [09:09] RussellAlan, which features were you thinking of? [09:09] more or less music library of full system [09:09] ubottu: xmms [09:09] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details.

[09:32] i failed to install wifi driver for my bcm4311 === Blue-Omega_ is now known as Blue-Omega [09:34] I have a debilitating problem... I've upgraded to Karmic recently, but I have this intermittent problem where my screen resolution resets itself to 800x600. Nothing I do gets it back to normal (which is 1280*1024), but last time, after a while and a reboot, it magically fixed itself. Yesterday it was working fine, and this morning, as I switched it on, it defaulted back to 800x600 again. I can't work on this resolution - any ideas? I don't know what to Goog [09:35] hi [09:35] Draggin: have you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's up? [09:36] does anyone know if it is possible to tell freenx to _not_ start a new session but use the already running, local x11 session, like vnc actually, just with the nx protocol? [09:37] gottto - it moans about vrefresh and hsync being out of range, but I don't understand why it happens. Nothing changes on the system, then suddenly, it has a different resolution. Also dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does absolutely nothing [09:37] Draggin: try Xorg -configure [09:38] Draggin: or google your monitor and the right rates to xorg.conf [09:38] gottto - I've used that as well, also didn't change anything [09:38] It just eventually came right on its own [09:38] *add [09:38] hi there [09:39] gottto - I understand how I could normally go about configuring a monitor, my problem is that even though it has been configured, it resets itself somehow and I don't know why and no normal xorg steps fixes the problem... [09:39] I try to install a game using wine. i get shown i have 2MB free diskspace which is not enough for the game, while in rl i have 62GB free... any idea what I can do? [09:40] i'm pretty much actually looking for a good and fast solution for accessing my local desktop from remote, i figured vnc is too slow, to crappy a quality and just lags way too much. rdp...well, there isn't really any good rdp service except for xrdp which is just a pain in the ass to configure without documentation provided from the project itself and as far as i know i'd have to restart the x-session anyways, which is not what i want...

Is there any way my friend (outside the network) can ssh into my box? [10:05] I'm trying to connect to a private network on a ethernet lan, and one that's connected to the internet through wireless, when I connect to the private lan I can no longer use the internet [10:05] what is vesa mode? sorry im new too linux not sure about alot of things [10:05] Italiano: you got to edit some files in etc , like sysctl, and others. and then enable iptables for routing [10:05] although network manager says it's connected to both networks [10:05] hi .. [10:05] Italiano: there are some guides on the internet to make ubuntu work as a router. just google "ubuntu as a router" [10:05] koori: vesa is a graphics mode, you choose it for booting [10:06] koori, i can even use the vesa modes + modelines [10:06] koori, if you don't play 3d games, it's not bad for daily use [10:07] koori vesa mode is a generic mode, works with all cards, of course it won't get you all supported features or resolutions [10:08] so does anyone know how to help me? [10:08] kk, thank you for the help guys [10:09] I had ubuntu with sources "main", I added "universe" and it let me install more stuff.

[10:16] not _all_ the processes [10:17] Bamboozle: the dhcp youre still using might skrew them up [10:17] obiwan_: lsof | grep 'processname' [10:17] 1 [10:17] Bamboozle: you might want to edit dhclient.conf [10:17] I just got it [10:17] I think [10:17] oook Bamboozle [10:17] anyone know any apps for making flyers/posters from templates? [10:17] if I go offline then I didn't [10:18] obiwan_ I'm sure man lsof has some options in it too [10:18] Bamboozle: so without arguments it lists all the files by all the procs [10:18] yeah obiwan_ === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [10:18] yeah Bamboozle i just remembers the options to list about a process, didn't know it allows you to monitor all the processes [10:18] but lsof -c 'myprocess' seems to do the same thing [10:18] yeah obiwan_ [10:18] it's a very handy program [10:21] http://www.mdhjakten.se/dela/?id=dti2d6s [10:22] thank you [10:23] bamboozie [10:23] how chage ip [10:25] getting this when trying to update 9.10 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/24revsCz does it want me to insert the original CD ? for the update to work ?

[14:04] brasero? easier? [14:04] C-S-B-N900: so I don't know what the standard software is [14:04] hi everyone!!!! [14:04] oh I see an X-Sane app [14:04] its in the menu, preinstalled. [14:04] :) [14:05] but that doesn't appear to support ip scanners [14:05] and my ancient hp-4890 doesn't look like it is supported. [14:05] vuescan is another option [14:06] ive never scanned in ubuntu, so i cant help beyond basics [14:06] sorrt [14:06] *sorry [14:06] C-S-B-N900: thank you for the help. [14:07] perlmonkey2: good luck, let me know if you get it going. [14:07] hi everyone!!! [14:07] hi [14:08] mounting disks permission, anyone? [14:09] Stavros: usefull details? [14:09] mine are all mounted rw [14:11] sziszi, from? [14:12] iceroot: i'm trying to mount the autodetected disks, but permission is denied. i'm in the disk group [14:12] How do I get my script executed by a cron job to work as if it was launched from a Terminal as normal? I mean, my script uses xdotool and I think I have to somehow launch it as I do in a Terminal even though I execut it by a cron job. [14:12] anyone using a Toshiba a505-s6005 with Ubuntu? [14:12] SilentDream777: Hungary. Why? [14:12] SilentDream777: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [14:13] guntbert: yea! === blueghost is now known as eightday [14:13] realubot: maybe xterm -e /path/to/script [14:13] in cron [14:13] looks like to use my hp7210 I need the open source hplip software linked from hp's site, but it wants my root pwd. Seems dangerous to give that to an installed app. [14:14] ...perhaps I am in the wrong channel looking for anyone that has had luck with instaling Ubuntu on a Toshiba A505-s6005 laptop [14:15] perlmonkey2: especially since there is no root password on an ubuntu system :) [14:15] How to address a message to a specific person? (So that for him the text highlight). Xchat client. Help! Please! [14:15] guntbert: I have one :P [14:15] perlmonkey2: doing it through a browser? [14:15] gottto: nope on the command line [14:15] downloaded from sourceforge from a link off the hp website. [14:15] !noroot | perlmonkey2 [14:15] SilentDream777: type the name of that person in front of your message (like I just did) [14:15] perlmonkey2: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [14:15] what's the name of xchat in ubuntu packages? [14:16] SilentDream777: XChat also supports completion for nicknames [14:16] 9.10 [14:16] Arabica, xchat-gnome [14:16] guntbert: thanks [14:16] perlmonkey2: cancel it - enter sudo -s then password and redo the connection [14:16] schlaftier like this? [14:16] Arabica, or install xchat [14:16] SilentDream: by typing the user name you can use the TAB for auto completion [14:16] lol, i see, thanks [14:16] SilentDream777: yes, it worked :) [14:16] Arabica, xchat has more options but i use xchat-gnome which is simpler [14:16] schlaftier thanks a lot! [14:16] Arabica: use xchat - not xchat-gnome [14:17] xchat gnome is more than sufficient. all i use. [14:17] gottto: I'll check it out. Thanks for advice. [14:17] k [14:17] guntbert, why not ? [14:17] gottto: thanks....appears to be installing now. [14:17] yeah more than enough [14:18] perlmonkey2: luck [14:18] gottto: thanks again. need to get this set up asap so I can scan images for a funeral. Really appreciate everyone's quick help. [14:18] indus: if its good for you - keep it :-) I found within minutes things missing .... [14:19] also, xchat-gnome seems to be discontinued [14:19] schlaftier, what is discontinued? its works fine [14:19] i think, irssi should be built in, it's small [14:19] i think xchat should be default app too [14:20] umm, irssi for cli, xchat for gui [14:20] indus: he means development stopped [14:20] this can save many many idiots [14:20] yeah ther is nothing to develop [14:20] Such a question: I have a TV tuner AverMedia, but I can not configure it in Ubuntu. I tried to use TVtime, but still did not help. Does anyone know how to correctly set up? [14:21] now, they have the browser and the irc client to ask some questions [14:21] Arabica, exactly [14:21] without extra installations [14:21] xchat also autoloads #ubuntu so new users directly come here [14:21] no idea why its not installed [14:21] indus: Arabica: the client discussion has gotten off topic - please move it to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:21] just bad design i guess [14:21] how can i mount hard disks without needing to sudo? [14:22] lol? [14:22] oh, anyone here who needs hp-scanner just type hp-setup and then allow Ubuntu magic install wha tyou need. [14:23] perlmonkey2: thx for reporting back [14:24] guntbert: any ideal where I can find assistance with Toshiba a505-s6005 and Ubuntu Installation, seems to install only in Safe Video Mode, but cant get wireless and USB working correctly [14:24] perlmonkey2: was sudo -s necessary? [14:25] lord_arctic: if you don't get any answers here - try the forums http://ubuntuforums.org [14:26] lord_arctic: I wanted to say: sorry, no idea but ... [14:26] guntbert: thank you [14:26] guntbert: its ok your only human :) [14:27] lord_arctic: :) [14:27] How do I delete the "history" logged commands? [14:27] KaOSoFt: history -c [14:27] ardchoille- Thank you very much. [14:27] yw [14:28] guntbert: and I am really tired of winnew LTdows 7, figured I would check here,...not having any luck in the boards, perhaps with the new LTS comming out, I might have some better luck [14:28] i'm trying to mount the autodetected disks, but permission is denied. i'm in the disk group, how can i do it? [14:29] Stavros: use sudo with mount? [14:29] @ stavros what about giving proper details? [14:29] Stavros: are you using sudo ? [14:29] without using sudo [14:29] knallgalf: how about asking for them? [14:29] i've added myself to the disk group but it still needs me to type the pw [14:29] lord_arctic: thats an idea: download the daily live CD, and try it "without installing" - so you see what will work for you - support for that in #ubuntu+1 [14:29] @stavros my car is broken is very good to determine the broken tire [14:30] Stavros: yes, because only root can mount [14:30] ardchoille: can't i give myself that permission somehow? [14:30] Just a general question: Like a moment ago, you told me "history -c" would delete the history log, but then, how did you know? I did not find the description of "-c" in the manual ("man history"). I've been always curious, because there are many applications where I don't know what the command-line options are for. Not all of them describe them. [14:30] Stavros: Sure, with sudo [14:30] Stavros: you need tobe in the sudoers file for that to happen - see man visudo [14:30] That's the proper way [14:30] changing channles to #ubuntu+1 [14:30] gottto: i can do it with sudo, but i don't want to have to type my password every time [14:30] so i'm asking if there's a permission i can grant me [14:31] hi! could some tell me which channel I should be in to get help with my video capture card on ubuntu 9.10? [14:31] Stavros: man visudo willtell you how not to have to enter the password iirc' [14:31] gottto: i don't want to disable the sudo password, i want it not to require privilege elevation to mount a disk [14:31] I have loaded 9.10 next to Win XP....when I choose Ubuntu on startup - it then loads, but I then get a normal black screen where I need to tyype in my username and password [14:32] Stavros: is it always the same disk? [14:32] Stavros: It's a security [recaution, you'll have to do one or the other [14:32] Stavros: you just set it up for mount and unmount commands [14:32] Why do I not get the Ubuntu desktop screen? [14:32] guntbert: yes, i can add an fstab entry, but i'd rather not have it mounted every time [14:32] ardchoille: i'm pretty sure there's a permission i can give me, like using FUSE [14:32] Stavros: use fstab but with "noauto" [14:32] guntbert: oh hmm, can i set it so only i can mount the disk then? [14:33] or users in a specified group [14:33] Hi, I have a Wacom Bamboo Tablett. Ubuntu found the device, but if i move the pen, the mouscursor still stands. [14:33] I have loaded 9.10 next to Win XP....when I choose Ubuntu on startup - it then loads, but I then get a normal black screen where I need to tyype in my username and password. Why do I not get the Ubuntu desktop screen? [14:33] Stavros: the "user" option switches off the requirement to be root - if you don't want that ... ?? [14:34] guntbert: i want only my user to have permission to mount it, not everyone [14:34] !visudo [14:35] okay [14:35] it's not either root or everyone [14:35] i want MY USER to be able to mount it [14:35] not everyone [14:35] and not just root [14:35] like accessing files, it's not either root or everyone [14:35] you can give users and groups permissions to them [14:35] Stavros: then keep to sudo - you "can" edit the suoers file so that just one command from you is possible without password [14:35] !enter | Stavros [14:35] Stavros: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:36] guntbert: this is with the gnome mounter, though, will it still work? [14:36] Stavros: why don't you try? [14:36] Stavros: you aren't on the right track - it isn't like a file it is a command - you need an entry for your user in the sudoers file for that command [14:37] Hi [14:37] Oxy is back...LOL [14:37] anybody work on ubuntu lucid ? [14:37] !lucid | ratatata [14:37] ratatata: 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 [14:38] gottto: is it because i don't have permission to run the command, though, or because i don't have permission to access the device? [14:38] lord_arctic: you can be in many channels at once - many of us are [14:38] Stavros: it is because mount needs root privileges [14:38] Hey everyone. I need some help with my sound card. I'm trying to install realtek drivers and the instructions say "Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)" -- I have no idea how to do this and my searches turned up fruitless. [14:38] guntbert I know...just picking on Him/Her... [14:39] lord_arctic: please don't - chatter goes to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:39] ola!! [14:39] gottto: hmm [14:39] gottto: how can i make mount not ask for a password in visudo? the manual doesn't mention anything [14:39] Stavros: linux basics in play [14:40] Stavros: I'll find a howto [14:40] how can i get my video capture card to work in ubuntu 9.10? [14:40] Stavros: man sudoers [14:40] sec, found one [14:40] Hi all am looking to play with the new 10.04 but have a version Q. will the 64bit version work on intel? ubuntu-10.04-beta1-server-amd64.iso or is the amd64 a clue? :) [14:40] guntbert, gtkdialog is missing in lucid, where i can report this missing ? [14:40] it is avermedia card [14:40] ola!!!! [14:40] q tal??? [14:40] So I guess I should state my question specifically: How do I "Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)"?

[14:49] Stavros: What type of device are you mounting? [14:50] FreezingTuesday: you need the correct name of the module to load at boot [14:50] terry_: a hard disk [14:50] i can make polkit not ask for a password by adding a policy directive in a file [14:50] Stavros: Do you want it to be mounted all the time?

[16:37] np [16:37] Please, there is someone who is agree to have an audio discussion (e.g. about launch wow). I have to give to my english teacher a cd audi thursday. I must find somebody ... [16:38] rbellamy: I think you might want EITHER security.ubuntu.com without karmic-security specified, OR archive.ubuntu.com with karmic-security specified [16:38] id-01__: This is actually an ubuntu support channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic [16:38] genii, I've got the security.ubuntu with karmic-security [16:39] rbellamy: Yes, exactly [16:39] Okay thanks LinuxGyu [16:39] fgfdfg: I don't think so - but have a look at /etc/passwd -- all acounts are there [16:39] i'm trying to connect my wireless network , it's hidden but the password should be >8 char to activate connect button but the password is less than 8 [16:40] i don't know how can i fix that ? [16:40] genii, but I'm still seeing 404's [16:40] visof: Ok so what exactly is your question for us? [16:40] Can someone tells me how Songbird can find the name and artis of the song ? Thanks! [16:40] how can i fix that ? [16:41] freedar: Probably first with media tags. [16:41] freedar: Maybe see if there is a songbird channel? [16:41] guntbert theres like 50 lines of text in here what does it mean [16:41] Ok so is the problem that your wireless password is supposed to be greater than 8 characters and you can only have less, or your password is less but is says you need more? [16:42] guntbert i want to lock down ALL accounts for security purposes I have many things to protect on this computer [16:42] interesting, i cannot save the grub.cft after i comment out those lines, guess i really shouldnt mess with it, but how do i get rid of the memory tests? [16:42] fgfdfg: Lock down all accounts? I thought thats what user accounts with passwords were for? [16:42] LinuxGuy2009: ı look for tag settings for a song but there is no an option as my feature :( [16:43] freedar: What file type? [16:43] fgfdfg: every line is an account - but please don't touch them!!! do you have a GUI? [16:43] kevin__ the actual password of the network is less than 8 and it need at least 8 characters to activate the button [16:43] nad what do you mena with "Maybe see if there is a songbird channel?" ? [16:43] guntbert yes. i dont want anybody logging into my box with those accounts [16:43] the filetype is mp3 [16:43] I split my hard drive with windows vista. is it possible to access programs installed on windows while i'm on ubuntu, and then install them on ubuntu using wine or some other emulator? [16:44] fgfdfg: nobody *can* with those system accounts - no way [16:44] guntbert thanks for your help. bye [16:44] freedar: MP3 you need to edit the embedded id3 tags. I recomend EasyTag [16:45] freedar: If you ripped them from your CD collection then the ripper app usually looks them up online or you can manually enter them before ripping. [16:45] ezra14: Yes wine can install some Windows apps. [16:45] when i ussue "service networking restart" i get an error "restart: rejected send messgae type=method_call" [16:45] visof: Ok do you have the correct setting for your network? Do you know if your system has WEP or WPA? [16:45] how do i fix this [16:45] ezra14: winehq.org for app database [16:46] okay, heres my problem. I am running ubuntu karmic on my htpc and am trying to push it up to my vizio vx37l at 1920x1080. What I am running into is the edges of my screen are cut off no matter the resolution. I am using a geforce 7900gt with dual dualink dvi ports, on one of those ports i have a dvi-d single link cable going from the htpc to dvi>hdmi adapter for the tv. My first though was the pc, but it works beautifully with rgb [16:46] -vga, so I'm lost, any ideas? [16:46] LinuxGuy2009: im sorry but you didn understand me. ı don't want to edit the mp3 tags.. ı want to find the song name and artist name of the music from internet automatically (like feature of winmap : auto-tag) [16:46] i suppose i can just uninstall the package then reinstall it later if i need it? === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [16:46] kevin__ yeah [16:46] kevin__ it uses wpa- personal [16:46] Zenker, hows it going? [16:47] freedar1: Are you ripping? [16:47] hello, sorry if this is not the right place to ask this. I'm trying to build a library but I get a lot of errors. I'd like to put the compilation ouput in a file instead of the console output. How can I do it? [16:47] ripping ? [16:47] to convert the files to mp3 ? [16:47] freedar1: Ripping CDs to MP3 and need something to add the tags for you? [16:47] lazarus lookin good, but im teetering on the memory test lines. personally ive never found a use for a memory test [16:47] LinuxGuy2009: I already installed it on windows. is it possible to view my files on windows from ubuntu and then load them onto ubuntu? [16:47] freedar1: Try Sound Juicer [16:47] freedar1:Or Asunder [16:48] join #eclipse-b3 [16:48] ezra14: Yes Ubuntu can read from NTFS partitions. [16:48] although i used 2 use the mem command in dos just to see how much mem was being used rofl [16:48] visof: have you tried changing the mode? There is infrastructure or ad-hoc, possibly even more [16:49] LinuxGuy2009: who do i do that? [16:49] ezra14: and write to ntfs partition from ubuntu [16:49] ezra14: Mount the partition and browse it. Might need a few packages to read NTFS though not sure if there installed by default or not I dont use Windows myself. [16:49] i mean how by the way [16:50] meant* [16:50] LinuxGuy2009: you give me softwares to ripping... am i right ? [16:50] LinuxGuy2009: but ı don't need to rip the songs... [16:50] freedar1: Yes Asunder and Sound Juicer are rippers. [16:50] LinuxGuy2009: how do i mount the partition? do i just need to download a program? [16:50] ı have some songs on my archive unknown ... so ı have to tag them automatically [16:51] I've got a problem with my syncmaster P2470HD monitor and resolution changing from native 1920x1080 to 1680x1050 every time while on last login splash screen [16:51] freedar1: Applications cant just guess what all your MP3 files artists and albums are. Not gonna happen anytime soon. Sorry. [16:51] freedar1: look at easytag or kid3, they might help you === lrvick1 is now known as lrvick [16:52] ok so what is the ubuntu-standard package, if i mark the x86 memtest for removal it says the standard pkg must be removed as well, but what else uses the standard package?,,,when a pakcage starts with the name ubuntu, or contains the word STANDARD i get a little worried bout messin with it [16:52] ezra14: If the partition is on the same machine it may show up under Places menu. [16:52] question: I have perfectly functional 9.10 installation but there is a small glitch.My toshiba U400 will be humming literally half of the time the computer is on, even if the computer isn't really doing absolutely anything and I am reading a pdf. Top doesn't seem to give anything and sensors gives a temp. of 43 C. [16:52] LinuxGuy2009: oh ok. i see it. thanks a lot. [16:52] Okay, turns out the Lock Screen thing is not sorted out... hmmm Karmic was not a good step for me. Any ideas how to sort it out. I have to reboot three/four times, because graphics go haywire on bootup as well. Karmic was not a good idea. [16:53] ezra14: Very good. [16:53] Any ideas of how on Earth I can get it to be quiet for once? [16:53] Can ubuntu 9.10 boot off a software RAID 5 partition? [16:53] kevin__ it's infrastructure [16:53] its description says " This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu standard system" sooo, what's taht ?? [16:53] kalakouentin: Does your machine feature a temperature controlled fan? [16:53] kevin__ but i'll try both [16:54] hi. can someone tell me how to install a version of a package from a PPA when a newer version is already available in the main repository? [16:54] genii, ok, when I change sources.list using vim, and then go and work on it using the GUI, the GUI changes things back to security.ubuntu with karmic-security [16:54] Zenker: ubuntu-standard is a meta-package. [16:54] LinuxGuy2009, I will check. I would think it does. [16:54] kalakouentin: Windows installed as well or not? [16:54] ahh never mind, this is a very important package, so , how do i get rid of the memory test lines in grub? [16:55] wtf? [16:55] visof: Ok I've been looking up WPA encryption and most places it states that it needs to be at least eight characters long, most are 12+. Are you sure it's WPA? [16:55] Zenker: Why are you worried about default entries? Normally you dont need to mess with those. [16:55] kevin__ yeah [16:55] LinuxGuy2009, they were installed when I got the machine, and I have kept them in a small partition but I don't recall them being buzzers also. [16:56] Im trying to slim it down a little, id like grub to only show windows and ubuntu incl rt for studio [16:56] (I haven [16:56] anyone know why I need ot restart ubuntu 9.10 machine three or four times to get graphics to work? [16:57] (I haven't used them in a while but I don't see any other issues, other people in our labs have the same pc with vista and they are pretty quiet) [16:57] kalakouentin: Hardware compatibility and features are provided by the kernel. If your machine doesnt behave properly, you can always file a bug or feature request on launchpad.net. [16:57] Well... I don't know if it's behaviour is "proper" or not [16:58] where can I find an authoritative list for my sources.list? Something is clearly stupid with mine, and I'd like to basically start from scratch [16:58] kalakouentin: Well you could call the manufacturer and ask them if that models fan or whatnot has a temperature controlled speed etc, [16:58] does anyone know a good site about how to customize your ubuntu desktop? about widgets, gadgets, conky, themes, transparency etc... [16:59] Right not, 'sensors' gives : temp1: +42.0°C (crit = +104.0°C) but the fan is on! [16:59] rbellamy: What? Your sources.list is located at /etc/apt/sources.list. [16:59] http://i42.tinypic.com/2463nl5.png [16:59] !eyecandy | LexR [16:59] LexR: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [16:59] Visof: I have heard that the NetworkManager can be buggy at times, you could try using wicd, I've heard that it is more stable. I'd also trying logging out and logging back in and seeing if it works [16:59] LinuxGuy2009, yes, I know that.... I'm asking where I can find an example of the sources.list that get's installed [16:59] kalakouentin: Gotta speak clearly or i cant understand. [16:59] :) thanx IdleOne [16:59] LexR: sure [17:00] rbellamy: You can delete the sources.list and a new one will be generated. [17:00] Right now, the 'sensors' command gives : temp1: +42.0°C (crit = +104.0°C) but the fan is on! [17:00] LinuxGuy2009, kk, thanks [17:00] rbellamy: welcome [17:01] salut [17:01] rbellamy: boot the live cd and look in /etc/apt/sources.list thats a default one if you need an exact copy. [17:02] LinuxGuy2009, excellent suggestion... [17:02] Hi how do i upgrade VLC to 1.3 (Ubuntu 9.10 repository only has 1.2) [17:02] rbellamy: yes sir [17:02] anyone know why I need ot restart ubuntu 9.10 machine three or four times to get graphics to work? [17:02] nokiamaster1: Find or build a backport. [17:02] !ro [17:02] Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [17:03] ok. new question. what is the minimum number of packages i have to have installed for a fully-bootable working kernel with modules? just linux-image? [17:03] LinuxGuy2009, anyway thank you. I'll check what is going on with the fan from the manufacturer's site. [17:03] desrt: linux-image is the kernel. yes. [17:03] !minimal | desrt that would be it [17:03] desrt that would be it: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:04] IdleOne: that's not what i asked [17:04] kalakouentin: very good [17:04] Ascavasaion from previous expierance, if multiple reboots are need to make anything electronic start up correctly , it isnt the configurations or the os or anything like that, its the hardware, but, i suppose just for arguments sake that if u reboot a million times it might reboot differantly one of those times [17:04] desrt: I know but with that info you could extrapolate, see what that iso includes and there you have it [17:04] my dd-wrt router running radvd and aiccu shows my prifix of ipv6 but the client pc does not get any ipv6 address. Can somebody help troubleshoot what is going on? [17:04] * desrt just hopes -image is enough, reboots [17:05] I am having issues installing codecs (i think) for my VLC Player. I read that it should automatically be able to read MKV files, but when I play the MKV file all I get is sound playback and no video. Any help? [17:05] Zenker: Only started doing this when I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 last night. [17:05] wongg: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and any gstreamer plugins that arent grabbed. [17:06] wongg: libdvdcss is needed for commercial dvd playback also BTW. [17:06] it isn't a comercial DvD, it's a file I downloaded [17:06] Ascavasaion are u using options when you restart? [17:06] wongg: Right and I gave you directions for that. :) [17:07] Zenker: No, nothing fancy. [17:07] oh, thx lol [17:07] ascavasion anything at all? [17:07] wongg: welcome [17:08] Zenker: Nothing... default start up. [17:08] Ascavasaion: What are you trying to do? [17:08] hi all [17:08] ascavasion, that dosent make any sense 2 me, but i am a noob to linux/ubuntu so i suppose theres something i dont know about rebooting over and over again [17:09] esoft: Hello [17:09] Zenker: Me neither... I think the Karmic upgrade was a screw up. [17:09] eek @ karmic [17:10] xp is less happy with u 9.10 than win 7? [17:10] anyone can suggest any webcam linux compatible? I would try opencv for.... [17:10] esoft: If your asking for a webcam recomendation I have a Logitech C300h. [17:10] ascavasion it could be only coincidental, i had this happen with a mouse the other day, i installed ubuntu studio and all of a sudden my mmb did not rotate the view in blender or seem 2 work at all, it turned out the mouse was faulty, i checked it in a diff sys n it did the same thing [17:11] Hello I need help to lauch World of warcraft. I propose to have an audio discussion to resolve it [17:11] Linux...2009: tnx a lot....!!! [17:12] esoft: welcome [17:12] Ascavasion try this, in power options theres an option to let the monitor sleep, set the time to like 1 min and let it fully sleep and see if it comes back on [17:12] id-01__: have you installed wine? have you checked the wine appdb? [17:12] Zenker: Where is that? [17:12] REH! I can't save the settings in nm-applet by some reason, the apply button is just faded out. Why is this, and how can I use it as usual? [17:12] how would I find which version of gcc was used to build my kernel? [17:13] ascavasion system, power managment [17:13] tomfmason: Installing nvidia driver by chance? [17:13] fighting with combat wireless actually [17:13] oops system, PREFS, power managment === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:13] and getting the unknown symbol error [17:14] tomfmason: cat /proc/version [17:14] lolz [17:14] thanks [17:14] tomfmason: That what you needed? [17:14] yep [17:14] tomfmason: very good [17:15] the kernel was built with 4.3.2 and I ha ve 4.3.1 [17:15] have even [17:16] Zenker: It never did anything. [17:16] id-01__: Please keep your questions in here for the benefit of all [17:16] Alright, I installed all the Gstreamer and the restricted extras, but I still don't get any video playback [17:16] wongg: What type of video? [17:16] MKV [17:16] and I'm using VLC Player [17:17] Ascavasion hmm this just makes no sense 2 me, try re-asking/stating your issue, maybe someone else knows whats going on [17:17] wongg: MKV is only the container. What is the codec used for video? [17:17] what is more common, dual boot win 7 u 9.10, or just wipe win and single boot u ? [17:17] I believe it's avc1 [17:17] Zenker: Okay, the screen came back just fine. [17:17] autoclesis: We cant tell you whats best for you. Only you know that answer. [17:18] id-01__: I'm not a private consultant nor am I here to help you do your homework, sorry. [17:18] id-01__: Please quit harassing people? [17:19] how do i set up a facebook account in ubuntu 10.04 on empathy [17:19] yeah but , what is more common [17:19] LinuxGuy2009: he came in asking for help with world of warcraft, now he keeps asking me to phone him for an english assignment [17:19] LinuxGuy2009: told him not to pm me but he keeps going [17:19] autoclesis: How is anyone supposed to know what everyone else does on there machines? We cant answer that. [17:19] tommis, see http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php for the details [17:19] sigh... how come every time I upgrade Ubuntu everything goes haywire? [17:20] Azelphur: you know about "/ignore", right? :-) [17:20] sipior: yea, getting there :) [17:20] Azelphur: Oh yes i know. Kept PMing me too. [17:20] hey, been trying to set up compizconfig-settings-manager, but it crashes on load for some reason. Crash report says /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/compizconfig.so: file too short. I investigated: files empty. [17:20] ZykoticK9, thx [17:20] is there still a package graveyard around somewhere? [17:20] Ascavasion, umm, u can try putting it to sleep, hibernate, do anything to get the monitor/graphics card 2 shut off w/0 actually shutting down the sys. try a few diff things a few times and see if the monitor turns on every time [17:20] polls [17:21] Sky35: If you like to file a bug report: ubuntu-bug compiz-config-settings-manager or whatever? [17:21] ascavasion if in fact the monitor turns back on every time, it just may be some kind of bug that shows up durring boot up [17:21] Zenker: I did the suspend thing [17:21] Hi ! ıs there OCR ( Optical character recognition ) softwares on Ubuntu ? [17:21] LinuxGuy2009: I more wanted to know what to put in the config file, or where to get a copy of one that's not empty or something. [17:21] PussyLover??? hhe [17:21] id-01__: No one wants to chat with you. Lets leave it please. Dont PM me any more. === PussyLover is now known as Guest87927 [17:22] Sky35: Copy of what? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [17:22] Ascavasion the only other suggestion i have is to search the forums for a similar issue/bug report or just keep asking in this channel about it, maybe someone else knows /experienced the same thing [17:22] compizconfig.so; since I'm getting an error that its empty (it is), when I assume it's not suppose to be. [17:23] Sky35: Perhaps rempove and reinstall CCSM so that it gets repaired? [17:23] Sky35: If it doesnt then file a report. [17:23] ascavasion be sure to be specific about upgrading 1st, if u dont find anything, try to generalize it to other related searches [17:23] LinuxGuy2009: Hmm, tried that, but perhaps reintalling all of compiz (including settings mgr) ? [17:24] hope u get this sorted out im sure its very frustrating [17:24] Sky35: Your call. [17:24] can you run konqueror on gnome? [17:24] jkd4: Yes you can run any app in the repos in any desktop environment. [17:24] LinuxGuy2009: lol alright. Think I'll try that. I've filed a couple reports with ubuntus auto report sender though already [17:25] I have a problem with aMule. Can someone help me? [17:25] LinuxGuy2009: I don't see konqueror in the ubuntu software center [17:25] Sky35: Good job. Hopefully someone will come along and fix your issue then. [17:26] jkd4: Thats because its part of KDE. Software center filters out some packages. Use synaptic or apt-get install [17:26] !ask | thermod [17:26] thermod: 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. :-) [17:26] LinuxGuy2009: ok thanks [17:26] jkd4: welcome [17:27] Sky35 u can use the package manager as well, [17:28] :-) [17:28] can i get a text based installer from the default 9.10 server iso? [17:28] so frndz any idea abt rndc.key ?

I want to share a folder on Ubuntu 9.10 only for certain users, but the folder sharing options just let me change the settings from "just I have access" to "everyone has access"?

Its either shared or not. Might be using samba for sharing I think and maybe could edit who to share with possibly. [17:33] raj-darkmystery: it's that simple? I waited for something like: edit smb.conf :) thx [17:33] ukebane: stuck keyboard key? [17:33] erUSUL: i guess you like fixing the broken fun of an upgrade? [17:33] LinuxGuy2009, I even removed the tilde key alltogether, same problem [17:33] ukebane: happen in any text editors? [17:34] cclocker, smb cms in picture if u wnt to share wid windows machine [17:34] !u | raj-darkmystery [17:34] raj-darkmystery: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers.

[17:40] raj-darkmystery: ok, I'll look there, thank you [17:40] LinuxGuy2009, any idea abt rndc.key ?

[17:44] http://localhost:8080 [17:45] This is the default adress for destar [17:45] ukebane goto system, prefs, assistive technologies, and click on the keyboard accessibility button, then try turning on bounce keys (check the ignore fast duplicate keypresses) if this stops it it probably is a stuck/malfunctioning key [17:45] draglor: yea just tried that still nothing [17:45] i have a proxy set up through ssh on port 8080 do you think that could cause the problem? [17:46] ukeband also try messin with the slider some to tweak the setting [17:46] how would i turn off my interenet signal fromt he comand line? [17:47] makaveli0129: yes, you can't have two apps listen on the same port, you have to change the port for one of them [17:47] draglor: i'll change the default for the destar but how do you get out of the man destar page lol [17:48] but... Are you in this channel every day? [17:48] press q ;) [17:48] r00t_, what is the exact meaning of turning off the internet signal? [17:48] good call lmao [17:48] Hi... can anybody help me ?

[17:48] raj-darkmystery: i want to keep other with physical acsess to my computer fromusing the internet but i dont want to prevent them from doing anyhwthing else. [17:48] I installed the Gstreamer plugins and the Ubuntu restricted extras. I have a .mkv file where I am getting audio playback but no video. When I right click the file and read the codec it says H264, but when I play it in VLC, and view codec info it says avc1 [17:49] r00t_: replace wlan0 with whatever your connection is called. [17:49] r00t_: eth0 etc [17:49] I have configured evolution for my yahoo account and gamil account according to http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html, but still it is not showing messages of my yahoo and gamil inbox what is the problem? [17:49] how do i do that? [17:49] LinuxGuy2009: This should not work using network manager, utilizing nm it should be done sending a dbus signal I'd believe [17:49] sorry im a noob [17:49] is there a way to see transfer rate / complete % when using the default ftp 'put'? [17:49] draglor: i changed to 8081 and still no dice [17:49] Is there any program that I can use to remove noise from an audio recording? (due to high bass volume) [17:49] r00t_, whats the topology you are using? internet is shared through your computer? means is your computer is acting as a server (proxy server) [17:50] c3l: Audacity [17:50] did you restart your server? (apache/lighthttp/whatever) [17:50] makaveli0129: [17:50] draglor: i get this when i typed the destar -r 8081 "Serving application 'page_main' on port 8081 [17:50] warning: Computing default hostname [17:50] info: Medusa (V1.11) started at Tue Mar 30 12:48:56 2010 [17:50] Hostname: jr-desktop [17:50] Port:8081" [17:50] makaveli0129: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:50] d4nd14z, check your source.list [17:50] i have hte only copmuter inthe house and i have a dsl modem pluged in via ethernet cords and a phone cord [17:50] my ubuntu says : "ubuntu cannot install all upgrades"... [17:50] r00t_ there is a way to make the connection ask for a password, but idk if its a diff password then the login, but perhaps theres a way to make it ask for a password that u set [17:50] LinuxGuy2009, oh! would you mind explaining more in detail? =) [17:51] Zenker, thanks, I'm testing it now. [17:51] so now try to acess http://localhost:8081 with your browser (or the servers adress instead of localhost) makaveli0129 [17:51] c3l: Audacity is an audio editor. [17:51] draglor: so it appears it's on the right port but localhost:8081 still get no dice [17:51] Zenker: any way to just shut off the device? like in wondiows device manager i coudl just disable it. [17:51] Quick question.. I've been thinking about building a file/web/print server at my house.. I've had some in the past but people keep hacking it so I decided to start thinking about other options and decided on linux.. I've used Ubuntu here and their on my home PC just to kind of get use to it.. but I've never tried doing a full out server.. anyone have any good advice for someone learning not... [17:51] ...only linux but the server side too... [17:52] draglor: even by my ip no dice [17:52] No error message makaveli0129? The message indicates it is running [17:52] r00t_ are u on a laptop, theres a key for that, otherwise , just disconnect the cable and take it with you rofl [17:52] LinuxGuy2009, yeah, I was wondering if you knew how the noise reducion is used, and where I find it, in audacity. just briefly if you dont mind =) [17:52] draglor: do you know how to tell if it is running? [17:52] r00t_: So in GUI there is the network manager applet. [17:53] c3l: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Noise_Removal [17:53] LinuxGuy2009, Zenker, it seems to be gone now, but the bounce keys are off [17:53] makaveli0129: "ps aux|grep destar" or "lsof -i -P |grep 8081" should show if it's running" [17:53] LinuxGuy2009, you're the best, thanks [17:53] c3l: welcome [17:54] Anybody? [17:54] draglor: did you see that? [17:54] ukeband then yep, its 99% for sure that its a sticking/malfunctioning key. keyboards for lappies are pretty cheap for most of them [17:55] c3l: If your speaking of hig bass and distortion there is nothing you can do about that. Noise from hiss or whatever yes you can remove that. [17:55] LinuxGuy2009, ohh. so its not even worth a try then? [17:55] jeremyg, there's numerous tutorials on the interweb - aunty google is your friend for that. Other than that - just install it and start looking around.... [17:56] c3l: Is the problem clipping or just background noise? [17:56] Sorry, makaveli0129, it seems you ran into an autoignore. So I can't help you anymore. [17:56] LinuxGuy2009, brwschzzz brwschzzz brwschzzz, basically. the music is loud =) [17:56] hi can someone help me with this error gnome power manager have not been installed corectly for ubuntu lucid [17:57] hi all [17:57] !lucid | shakall69 [17:57] shakall69: 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 [17:57] I had a problem during the update tower Ubuntu Karmic [17:57] c3l: Yeah sounds like clipping from too much gain on the mic or whatever. Probably not much you can do. [17:57] Alright.. thanks rbellamy - do you suggest any good books for first time linux users.. [17:57] steelbox: welcome [17:57] ok ty [17:57] jeremyg: amazon.com [17:57] o'reilly is a great publisher [17:57] LinuxGuy2009, I see, thank you a lot! [17:57] does someone can help me ?

[17:58] (sorry for my bad english level) [17:58] c3l you can try and cover the mic with a piece of cloth, this deadens the sound a little but also help with gain issues [17:58] !ask > steelbox [17:58] steelbox, please see my private message [17:58] Alright thanks again.. I'll go check it out.. thanks again guus.. [17:58] LinuxGuy2009: yeah, indeed :) [17:58] guys === TrekCaptain is now known as Trek [17:58] steelbox: Whats up?

Ill use that next time, thanks =) [17:59] I don't see buttons and menu at top and bottom of the screen [17:59] both toolbars are gray [17:59] c3l hope it works for u, but if the mic is extremely crappy or old the membrane may be cracked or disformed, in this case theres only 1 real solution [17:59] but empty [17:59] steelbox: Are you in a gnome session or something else? [17:59] !panels | steelbox [17:59] steelbox: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:00] bastid_raZor: yeah panels, sorry :) [18:00] Not sure how restoring panels that rent there helps but ok. [18:00] Zenker, its a quite new iPhone, and the mic works just fine normally, so ill blame the music in this case =) [18:00] steelbox: Are you in gnome? [18:00] LinuxGuy2009: yeah [18:00] steelbox:No panels at all? [18:00] so I type in xterm : "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel ?"

I saw hallucinogen live this weekend. and captured some video. and now I was hoping to hear some of the music too ;) [18:04] woody_: Does the kernel recognise your adapter? sudo lshw [18:04] LinuxGuy2009: maybe I have to put this command into a config file ?

[18:04] is it a know problem or .. ? [18:04] known* [18:05] steelbox: Gnome doesnt allow the panels to be removed unless you do some "hacking". Or your gnome is just busted [18:05] c3l ahh i see :) [18:05] okay [18:05] steelbox: Gnome always leaves one panel no matter what [18:05] pacific-blue: As ubuntu uses noveau it doesn't affect it in any way [18:05] pacific-blue: #ubuntu+1 for lucid/10.04 [18:05] so, thanks a lot for your help guys [18:05] and see u soon, maybe :) [18:06] LinuxGuy2009: most times when the panels are messed up a simple reset of them will fix the issue. [18:06] kinuxguy2009, i ran that command and it funked up my display. is this going to go away? [18:06] draglor, Noveau is nvidia open source [18:06] pacific-blue: No [18:06] <_ListerW1rk> i can mount a dvd drive and browse the folders with nautilis, but i cant play the dvd itself. Any suggestions? [18:06] nouveau has nothing to do with nvidia [18:06] Zenker, and he was even better live than on hes cd's ;) [18:06] oh sorry, one last small question [18:06] woody_: What command? [18:06] it's for nvidia, but not from nvidia, nvidia even doesn't support it [18:06] Draglor: "The new release includes the Linux kernel 2.6.32 and improved support for nVidia proprietary graphics drivers, while switching to the open source nVidia graphics driver, nouveau, by default" [18:06] please, someone help to install kde3 libraries on ubuntu 9.10 [18:07] I have seen that a lot of packages have been installed [18:07] c3l cool check youtube, maybe someone else got a better recording [18:07] linuxbox2009, lshw [18:07] my / partition takes about 8 Gb [18:07] as I said, pacific-blue [18:07] LinuxGuy2009: I have configured evolution for my yahoo account and gamil account according to http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html, but still it is not showing messages of my yahoo and gamil inbox what is the problem? [18:07] how to reduce that? [18:07] How can you check space remaining on hardrive through console? [18:07] nv is the nvidia drviver from nvidia only support for nv is dropped, nvidia has never supported noveau [18:07] woody_: lshw only lists installed hardware has nothing to do with your display getting messed up. [18:08] Zenker, yeah, ill do that! [18:08] is there any easy way to install kde3 libraries on 9.10? [18:08] linuxguy2009, weird... my computer looks like an hippy on acid... i gotta reboot it [18:08] Draglor: so what am I missing. They state "Noveau" as the code name for nVidia's open source graphic driver. Which they, right before 10.04 is going to use it, have dropped support for it. Is Noveau not the name they call their open source nVidia drivers? [18:08] Mkools: Probably just not configured correctly. Thunderbird has gmail support built right in. Try that. [18:08] <_ListerW1rk> any idea why a mounted DVD disc wont play? /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 type udf (ro) [18:08] LinuxGuy2009: how to make space on the partition / ? [18:09] pacific-blue, nv is dropped not noveau [18:09] i want to use klipper from kde3 on 9.10, please, help [18:09] LinuxGuy2009: my partition / takes about 8 Gb [18:09] LinuxGuy2009: What about evolution? [18:09] steelbox: Delete anything you dont need in home. empty package cache. [18:09] ZykoticK9: I'll google about some more then. I thought they were the same [18:09] nouveau is the open source driver for nvidia NOT from nvidia ... nv is the open source driver FROM nvidia .. nv support is dopped, onlly the proprietary nvidia drivers are still developed [18:09] <_ListerW1rk> phoenix_: have you tried apt-get? [18:09] pacific-blue, noveau != nv (in any way) [18:10] LinuxGuy2009: sudo apt-get clean ? [18:10] Mkools: I dont use evolution. But just find some good setup instructions for your yahoo account and you should be good. [18:10] When I was upgrading my aMSN, the message "configure: error: libpng is required" appeared to me. What should I do? [18:10] LinuxGuy2009: erm, i dunno what happened but yeh it went from normal to all diff colors, sorta inverted but very distorted. happened as soon as i ran lshw [18:10] steelbox: sure. and you could "apt-get autoremove" to remove any packages that are not needed anymore as deps. [18:10] LinuxGuy2009: It asks for password, when I provide it, evolution doesn't show mails. [18:11] hey guys, whats the lucid room? [18:11] ccmonster, #ubuntu+1 [18:11] ty [18:11] Draglor & ZykoticK9: Thanks. Thought there was something strange about that.

[18:11] raul: run "sudo apt-get install libpng3' [18:12] Hey guys, Im trying to figure out how to setup Passwords and Encryption Keys to auto add my 5 SSH keys I have for work when I login. Is that possible? [18:12] Mkools: Either evolution isnt properly setup for the account or evolution has a bug or something. [18:12] It's such a teedius task every time I reboot. === blueghost is now known as nineday [18:13] LinuxGuy2009: im going to try running it again. the netbook has had problem with the Wireless driver as well which i got working using the madwifi driver [18:13] LinuxGuy2009: What about instructions present on: http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html [18:13] steelbox: Buy a new HD too. Just bought a matching pair of 500GB SATA drives myself. $100 [18:14] mjs7231: you can add the commands to rc.local at "/etc/rc.local/ [18:14] WhiteDawn, Will that work even if they all require passwords [18:14] LinuxGuy2009: yep i ran lshw again and the display went all funky again. i cant make out what the result it [18:14] ? === mike_ is now known as Guest89366 [18:14] ppasuka [18:14] mjs7231: you mean, needing to be run as root?

[18:18] Please if any one can help with evolution. [18:18] linuxguy2009: is there any way to find out other than that? [18:18] mjs7231: Sounds like you need some root privledged commands ran at boot. /etc/rc.local is a script made just for that. [18:18] raul which repo do you use and are you using a package or the source? [18:18] home: Find out what?

I have an ATi [18:35] LinuxGuy2009, the input problem seems to be back [18:35] "^[[19~" over and over [18:35] pk: iptables confiured the netfilter kernelmodules, not really a running program [18:35] ukebane: Can you be more specific?

[18:36] how do I mount the c-drive then? [18:36] CAPcap: Yeah i know what you mean, I would like it aswell, but from what I see, only a nvidia program called twinview lets you do it, and even then you can't drag windows from screen to screen and other related problems :( [18:36] LinuxGuy2009, acicula, how do i do that?

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. [18:39] LinuxGuy2009: Do you know how to check, from a shell script, if a system is getting its IP data from DHCP?

[18:47] LinuxGuy2009: The issue is /dev/dsp which is groupowned by audio is not writable either. The /test.txt file is just a proof of concept that this should work. :( [18:47] wolter, that's not the point, I'm having random inputs of tildes (~~~~~~~~~~) every now and then [18:47] which are different things [18:47] [WhiteDawn]: Via Chrome9 HC IGP WDDM ... any clue?

[18:56] dante123: with ahci you can run 2 hardrives and share their data so you get twice the read/write speed, also you can use redundancy so if one hardrive fails you server doesn't go down. It has no real use in a laptop though, it's just standard with motherboards nowadays [18:56] crc32: can you >> instead of >, maybe its treated as pipe to new file?

[18:59] WhiteDawn, okay i will proceed with xp install and then ubuntu....btw....beta looks good to me....so far [19:00] is there any stress test PC application for ubuntu that i can instal via apt-get ?

I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to enable the meMenu after the upgrade [19:01] crc32, ...that third item I mentioned may be relevant -- did you just add the user to the group without logging out and back in? [19:01] hi guys, I can't boot my ubuntu server, getting errors like "udevd: worker failed while handling .." and then devices. Any ideas? [19:01] Question: Is there a way to get Ubuntu (Hardy Heron at present) to automatically start VirtualBox on startup, on desk 4, and then start my Windows XP (for Windows apps) VM on that same desk, leaving me with the option at any time after booting to control-alt-arrow over to Windows to run one of those legacy apps that won't work under Wine? [19:01] can somebody help me in this annoying problem???? Nicotine keeps opening up whenever 'Processing triggers for menu' is run by APT!!! [19:01] crc32, ...oh, and I failed to mention a big one, not having a clean chain of +x on all parent directories [19:02] crc32: Try gksudo nautilus. Change permissions of /dev to you. [19:02] crc32, ...that's not going to be a problem for /dev, but as you said, you wanted to know how to address the problem in general :) [19:02] LinuxGuy2009: u got anything, ? my ques is simple what should i use instead of "php5-gd_5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3_i386.deb" this package for my ubuntu 8.04 32 bit [19:02] WhiteDawn yeah, i thought about waiting....but he's gonna ask me for help anyway....and you can easily update from beta to final 10.04 (more clean than upgrading from 9.10 isn't it) [19:03] zzzZoltan: No real ideas, but i can tell you that udevd is what allows the linux kernel to access the /dev/ folder. Some things to check would be if you installed any hardware recently, and you might wanna try runing a fsck on the hard disk. You will need a live cd for any major repairs. Thats all i got though, someone more knoledgeable might be able to help you. [19:03] crc32, btw, you can use the "groups" command to see which groups your current session sees itself as part of. [19:03] dante123: If you want it to be absolutely clean you'd do a full reinstall of the root directory anyway. (Hope you have a separate partition for /home so you don't have to lug out the external drive to back up your personal files. [19:03] dante123: I can't tell you from experience, as I usualy do a full formate anyway :P [19:03] whitedawn, thanks, i'll give the livecd a try right away, should I check all of the drives udev is complaining on? [19:04] rabbit1: If the file you need isnt in the official repos then youll have to find a backport or ppa for it. [19:04] nDuff: hes showing as part of the audio group, but cant remove the rw audio group file [19:04] clark [19:04] zzzZoltan: it be a good idea, also make sure your bios hasn't lost any settings from a dieing battery or something if your runing RAID/ahci [19:04] or even write to it [19:04] LinuxGuy2009: can u just help out with that? === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [19:05] yes, i was planning on doing separate home partition.....what minimum size for ubuntu OS partition (as opposed to home one) [19:05] whitedawn: k, thanx. I'll let you know how it went soon (= [19:05] how to run X on another display, X :1.0 [19:05] how do you change dns on karmic? [19:05] Any ideas on possible solutions to my problem? It's be easier than manually switching to desk 4 each time I boot into Ubuntu, starting VirtualBox, loading my VM, then switching back to desk 1 after the VM has started to boot up... [19:05] dante123: I use a 10 gig / and a 2 gig swap, the rest of my drive is /home. [19:05] LinuxGuy2009: i din't try that command, coz i got confused with ubuntu 6.3_i386 mentioned there, so i need to change to something like ubuntu 8.04_386 or something else? [19:05] also with 2gb of ram, would u make swap folder 2gb too? [19:06] acicula, oh, crc32 is trying to _remove_ it? That's very different than opening it for write [19:06] Ahren_The_Magus would u use 2gb swap if system has 2gb memory [19:06] dante123: I'm using a 2 gig swap file for that very reason, though I plan to gparted it back as time goes on, as I learn more about how much I use on a day-to-day basis. [19:06] dante123: if you plan on suspending then yes, you need to match your RAM amount [19:06] nDuff: no, hes trying to write (echo "stuff" > file) [19:06] rabbit1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/php5-gd [19:07] dante123: Start with a 2 gig swap file. If you plan to use hibernation (and why would you?) make the swap file 2.2 gig instead (for overhead) [19:07] rabbit1: That? [19:07] LinuxGuy2009: thanks a lot [19:07] rabbit1: welcome [19:07] * Ahren_The_Magus thinks Ubuntu boots fast enough to make hibernation relatively pointless. [19:07] acicula: echo stuff | suda tee -a filename ...should do? [19:07] hy how to instal a ssl certificate ? [19:07] Question: I recently upgraded from Karmic 9.10 to Lucid 10.04 beta using the update-manager -d command. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to enable the meMenu after the upgrade [19:07] s/suda/sudo [19:07] thanks for advice all [19:07] joey__: go /join #ubuntu+1 and ask that question again. [19:07] bastid_raZor: so should him echoing, but its not, thats whats odd [19:07] joey__: go to #ubuntu+1 [19:07] dementorrr: that depends on the webserver [19:07] how to change login screen [19:08] joey__: Check the panel applets list [19:08] !vague [19:08] hi can someone help me with a grub problem [19:08] dementorrr, did you tried synaptic? [19:08] acicula: if the file needs root permissions to write to it then the pipe will remove the permissions in the previous command [19:08] I'm guessing no one is able to help me with my issue at this time? [19:09] bastid_raZor: its group writeable, and groups shows him to be in the group [19:09] (01:51:47 pm) *** Quit: Cream has quit irc (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - [19:09] how to change login screen [19:09] Ahren_The_Magus: What question? [19:09] LinuxGuy2009: that file is not for my 8.04 , is it? [19:09] Sorry, hit middle mouse button by accident [19:09] bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/hy4kBFYb is what he linked [19:09] rabbit1: Yeah 8.04 is hardy [19:09] LinuxGuy2009: i got AMD64 and 8.04 32 bit [19:09] is there another channel i can go to for support of a grub problem? [19:09] i try to instal ssl but efri time de apache stop working [19:09] i3inary, what kind of problem? [19:10] i3inary: you can try #grub [19:10] rabbit1: Yeah === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [19:10] rabbit1: Thats the only architectures that ubuntu supports. [19:10] LinuxGuy2009: I want, on startup, to automatically boot VirtualBox onto Desk 4, and have VirtualBox automatically load my windows VM (for Wine-incapable apps) on that same desk, so by the time I'm done with my other stuff, I can hop over to that desk. [19:10] xmuk: new install of netbook remix on and i get rescue:grub prompt when it boots [19:10] Im having issues with unstable wifi on my netbook. im running 90.10 and my card appears to be atheros. is there any fixes for this? [19:11] Ahren_The_Magus: load em up on the desktops you want and then hybernate. [19:11] how to change login screen [19:11] acicula, that's vaguely interesting, yes. It'd be interesting to put selinux into reporting mode and see if there's anything going on there, likewise to check ACLs. (I'm concerned about it being "groups crc" as opposed to just "groups", btw -- I'm not confident that that provides what groups are for the current session as opposed to what groups would be for a new login) [19:11] LinuxGuy2009: And so far, I have been unable to do that short of manually booting things up after Ubuntu is started up. As for hibernation, I prefer booting the system clean each time I need it, rather than relying on a hibernation image...just for my own peace of mind, if nothing else. [19:12] LinuxGuy2009: i just did reinstall from Synaptic Manager for php5-gd, hopefully it works ;) [19:12] xmuk: i have booted to the usb flash again and i am trying to figure out what to change [19:12] does ubuntu support more than one sound cards? it would be cool to be able to have music playing on speakers and for instance watch movie on headphones.. [19:12] nDuff: yeah im not sure about that either [19:12] rabbit1: cool [19:12] kane77, you wouldn't need more then one soundcard for that. [19:12] hi [19:12] Ahren_The_Magus: Good luck [19:12] hi there guys! [19:12] howitzer, how would you do that? [19:13] nDuff: i couldnt recreate the problem on vanilla karmic anyway, but i tried with my usergroup and not audio [19:13] i need some help with bqcktrqck [19:13] but what's the problem? you can't boot from HDD or what? [19:13] kane77: Good question...I find Ubuntu doesn't like serving audio for more than one thing at once. If I'm playing a vid in VLC Media Player, and then boot ZSNES, the game is audio-less. If I then kill VLC and restart ZSNES, the game gets the audio, but then VLC (if restarted) does not. [19:13] but i dont have selinux active [19:13] Ahren_The_Magus: tell ZSNESS to use pulseaudio [19:13] and vlc for that matter, then you can mix it [19:14] WhiteDawn: fsck would run since it's lvm. is there a similar command I can run from the lvm console? [19:14] kane77, i'm sorry, i completely misinterpreted your question. [19:14] WhiteDawn: err, wouldn't run even [19:14] Ahren_The_Magus, yeah, pulseaudio should solve it [19:14] I have configured gmail correctly on Evolution but I have problems with ymail on password. [19:14] acicula: Already tried that...the only way I can get ZSNES to use audio in any usable way is to default everything to SDL. [19:14] Can anyone please help [19:14] zzzZoltan: the live cd wouldent run? [19:14] Ahren_The_Magus: if it defaults to /dev/dsp you can use the padsp wrapper [19:14] When I run some KDE programs, like amarok, I often get a lot of processes left running starting with K, like knotify4, etc, even when I shut down the program. Can I stop this from happening? [19:15] xmuk: correct the computer will not boot from the harddrive. i am using the live cd to troubleshoot. i mounted /dev/sda1 and if i go look at grub.cfg i see that it has entries in it but i am not sure what i need to change [19:15] pulseaudio is the best ever :p [19:15] acicula: *confused look* [19:15] WhiteDawn: I'm in the recovery mode of the server install cd but can't run fsck on the devices udevd complaint about since they're lvm's [19:15] Mkools: do you have a yahoo mail plus account? [19:15] LinuxGuy2009: after the complete reconfig, my status report still says, GD Library not installed [19:15] If you make a package for a service, which includes init scripts, does it get restarted automatically after an upgrade, or do I need to manually add a restart to postinst? [19:15] Myrtti: no [19:15] rabbit1: ok [19:16] LinuxGuy2009: trying out someting in #drupal-support :( [19:16] Mkools: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html [19:16] Ahren_The_Magus: actally, tried zsnes -ad pulse ? [19:16] I'm testing Lucid. For some reason i get the Lubuntu logo even if aparently I haven't it instaled.... I used a "sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i lxde" with no results... what's happening here? [19:16] acicula: The only option that ZSNES seems to like is zsnes -ad sdl [19:16] Mozilla Firefox [19:16] Default search engine has been changed to Yahoo! The default Home Page will use either Google or Yahoo! depending on user setting. [19:16] wait what? [19:16] joli: dpkg -l *splash* [19:16] Myrtti: I have read that, but to make an account I have to pay? [19:16] why is lucid using Yahoo as default? [19:17] is this somekind of fancy sponsorshit [19:17] Aciid: yes [19:17] Aciid, yes. it was that way with firefox as well [19:17] zzzZoltan: Sorry then, don't know what else to do :( [19:17] Aciid: and no swearing! [19:17] Ahren_The_Magus: well maybe the padsp wrapper works, just start from the console with padsp [19:17] okey, so im sticking with Chrome [19:17] acicula: Trying -ad pulse right now, just to be 100% sure it won't accept it on my laptop. [19:17] Hi ya all [19:17] maco: and sorry about the swearing [19:17] Aciid: just like how firefox's default upstream is google because google pays mozilla [19:17] WhiteDawn: ok, i'll see what I can do. thanks though :/ [19:17] acicula: -ad pulse = no audio in ZSNES. Confirmed. [19:18] try padsp znes -ad oss [19:18] maco: tears in my eyes .___.; oh well I use firefox for quakelive mostly nowadays [19:18] zzzZoltan: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-139776.html might help? [19:18] maco: http://pastebin.com/MnLSvUHC [19:18] or the dsl switch but dunno if that hooks back to dsp [19:18] Hi, is there any firewall avaliable to ubuntu that I can administer trough a webpage? [19:19] Aciid: changing the default search engine isn't rocket science [19:19] acicula: I tried 'padsp zsnes -ad sdl'. Sound is functional. Trying VLC now to see if that works. If not, I'll try -ad oss instead. [19:19] WhiteDawn: I'll have a look. the problem started when I added one more disk to my raid5 array (array just used for storage) the cpu maxed since last night and when I forced a reboot today it wont boot :( [19:19] joli: oh wait lucid... hmm make that *plymouth* you're in the wrong channel by the way. #ubuntu+1 [19:20] i just dont understand how the UBUNTU live cd never has a problem booting but the harddrive does....why cant the setup just get the damn harddrive location and make the proper grub entry for it....what the hell is so hard about that if you are going to make an OS you gotta make the damn thing boot off a drive dont you...? [19:20] Myrtti: Do I have to pay to get that account? [19:20] Mkools: yup [19:20] i3inary: I ditched 9.10 cause of not booting after install. [19:20] maco: ok, thanks for the help [19:21] i'm moving for the other chan ;) [19:21] not able to change owner and group file permission to root using chown??? can I ? chown: changing ownership of `xlib500.bin': Operation not permitted [19:21] acicula: VLC is muted...trying oss now.

[19:22] oh look at that someone responded to me... [19:22] rabbit1: Not sure what you want me to do about it but ok. hehe [19:22] thats an easy answer | crap [19:22] Ahren_The_Magus: :/ oh well, was worth a try [19:22] LinuxGuy2009: :) [19:22] etsorbme8, to change a file's ownership to root, you must _be_ root [19:22] LinuxGuy2009; I am gettng the same result [19:23] hi, i'm trying to play world of warcraft using wine 1.0.1 under ubuntu 9.10 [19:23] Ahren_The_Magus: you did try that with vlc set to pulseaudio i assume? [19:23] the internet is a joke [19:23] Myrtti: In that I don't need to pay? Is it available on ubuntu for free without registration? Can you please provide me the link? [19:23] etsorbme8: You have to refresh my memory. Many people comeing in and out. [19:23] acicula: Thanks for the info in any case. I just deal with having one sound output at a time, and if I want to play a game and watch a movie simultaneously I do it from within my Windows VirtualBox. [19:23] and as soon as i lauch it using OpenGL, xorg crashes and bring me back to login [19:23] nDuff; i switched to root with command.... su -l root and did the same thing with the same result [19:24] how can I disable the xx has joined/left the channel messages in empathy? [19:24] Mkools: how have you been using yahoo mail so far? webmail should be available for non-paid accounts [19:25] Yo yo yo [19:25] acicula: VLC should be using Pulse, considering that's what is set as my sound device in System->Preferences->Sound, yes?

[19:25] Ahren_The_Magus: not sure if vlc pulls it defaults from there, the gnome movie player does though [19:25] password? [19:25] Myrtti: I used yahoo mail by directly going on web. Means here is also same problem of payment. [19:25] yep, with same result [19:26] etsorbme8: Result of what? [19:26] i tried root, blank password. didn't work [19:26] Mkools: so continue using that, or pay for it [19:26] sudu root [19:26] i;m tring to login [19:26] acicula: I don't like gnome's media player.

Google for a hand holding tutorial for chown. [19:27] Ahren_The_Magus: yeah its a nice player [19:27] ok guys take care ubuntu should fix their install if they want people to use the code...otherwise gtfofftheinternetwithyourcrappycodethatdoesntwork [19:27] i3inary: you have a question or are you just here to complain and obstruct [19:27] Zenith: don't advise new users anwhere near root.

Is there a way to revert all cahnges or go back to instllation state without having to call my datacenter to reinstall. [19:30] tariqc: there has to be a user. what you can do is boot from a livecd again and take a look at /etc/passwd on the HDD you installed to [19:30] Tariqc: that's why the guides all advise sudo so you log on as user which makes your system a billion times more secure [19:31] Tariqc: you can sign into root with sudo -i [19:31] ActionParsnip: is there a way i can install a user account if i didn't do it during install?

[19:54] can someone recommend me something other than f-spot for my photo managing? I have close to 20GB of pics and f-spot is extremely slow at importing them, I don't want them copied to a new location [19:55] Can I easily get Pidgin conversation windows not to have the avatar as their icons? I keep all conversations in a tabbed window and everytime I Alt-Tab through windows I have to spend a second to realise which icon it is now. All I found was this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/438375 [19:55] shane2peru: looked through the software center or add/remove? [19:55] Shane2peru: nautilus etc would be my call [19:55] Shane2peru: also manages every other file in one app [19:55] LinuxGuy2009, not really, I prefer a recommendation rather than diving into the software experimental pool for something of this nature [19:55] shane2peru: jpegs or some raw deal? [19:56] brontosaurusrex, the majority are all jpgs [19:56] shane2peru: experimental pool? Ok if thats what you call it. [19:56] I mean, I could set custom icons for all my buddies, but that's tedious [19:56] LinuxGuy2009: What did you mean by "ubuntu-bug xvidcap"? [19:56] shane2peru: i'd do as ActionParsnip told you then [19:56] <3 init 3 [19:56] shane2peru: picasa works pretty well, imports fast (compared to f-spot anyway), not open source though [19:56] shane2peru: Thats where everything else on your ubuntu comes from. [19:56] ActionParsnip, I don't think that I can tag them with Nautilus, unless I'm missing something [19:57] Why is a seperate app needed for just images, makes no sense to me [19:57] shane2peru: What do you want to do with your photos? [19:57] Not sure on tagging. I don't tag pics [19:57] ActionParsnip, well, I want to sort some out for an album, and don't want to copy them and paste them, so tagging for that is very usefull [19:57] ActionParsnip, I generally don't either [19:58] ActionParsnip, just for a project here and there [19:58] I just make a folder and cp the pics over, naming the folder with a date and the subject of the pics [19:58] ActionParsnip: It looks like Kino wants to capture off firewire and I can't find options to specify input to change this. [19:58] shane2peru: I think the majority of people probably just would use a file manager and organize in folders if anything. [19:58] LinuxGuy2009, I want to be able to separate them out for a specific album via tagging I used to use picasa and used stars to select what I wanted [19:58] is FloodBot1 there for flooding the channel when its owner gets angry? :P [19:59] Shane2peru: picasa is an option [19:59] /lamejoke [19:59] ActionParsnip, I get tired of installing picasa, I actually have just about quit using all 3rd party repos [19:59] !info mapivi [19:59] mapivi (source: mapivi): Photo viewer and organizer with emphasis on IPTC fields.

[20:02] An_Ony_Moose: do you mean like running a kernel from 10.04 or apt-get upgrade? [20:02] trism, gthumb, ahh, now there is a thought [20:02] Docteh, I mean upgrading the kernel, because there's a little driver problem [20:02] An_only_moose: only if you don't mind fixing your own stuff most times. Does the karmic kernel not give you what you need [20:02] ActionParsnip, thanks for the link, I had searched the forums for something like that, but didn't pull that up [20:03] An_Ony_Moose, why you need newer kenel? Some special feature? [20:03] Shane2peru: no worries dude [20:03] nikolam, as I said, a driver problem [20:03] USB stick won't work [20:03] what device is it for [20:03] what kind of usb stick?

What do I miss here? [20:08] ActionParsnip: I have tried brasero and that is what told me no [20:08] yourmghq, you need to copy data from disk , vlank it from program and write whole thing back . Or you can format it witf UDF RW that is separate issue [20:08] nikolam, it's worked on this laptop too [20:08] howr u [20:08] hmw: double check what units you are using [20:09] px Docteh? [20:09] Hmw: imagemagick can do it in batches in cli, gthumb can resize too. Not used gimp to resize personally [20:09] yea make sure its px [20:09] aha.. An_Ony_Moose and it stopped working after some time on same install? you use 9.10? [20:09] ActionParsnip: alright... i'll check it out... Docteh I was thinking on DPI settings or something [20:09] nikolam, yes, 9.10 UNR. First failure ever was today [20:09] nikolam: hmm, k3b formatted, but still says insert empty thing when i try to burn [20:09] Youmghq: I know. I recommend gnomebaker. K3b uses qt so will pull in a good lump of qt libs as dependancies [20:09] and I haven't done any kernel updates in... umm, say, a while [20:10] DPI just effects types that aren't px === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [20:10] nikolam and ActionParsnip Brasero says not enough freespace [20:10] yourmghq, disks could be ejected with eject command, to. k3b is sometimes wanting that insert me¨ thing, i know [20:10] An_Ony_Moose: try a different usb port?

[20:12] and gnomebaker disappeared when i clicked burn [20:12] Yourmghq: then uninstall old kernels and use bleachbit to free up lots of space (watch the firefox options if you use firefox) [20:12] nikolam, I think it's FAT32 [20:12] nikolam, but it's probably nothing to do with the FS, considering that it won't even create a block device... [20:12] Yourmghq: use it as both root and not root. It will clean out lots. Make sure you have as many apps closed as possible [20:12] or am I mistaken? === crazed is now known as Guest31512 [20:13] ActionParsnip: umm gnomebaker said it failed with this ":-( FORMAT allocaion length isn't sane" [20:13] An_Ony_Moose: you're right [20:13] i have a netboot, 1024x700 screen. is there a way/prog that can help me see oversize windows (like gimp) -- am on gnome [20:13] Docteh: YAY! :P [20:14] maybe you could do some Fs checking on disk An_Ony_Moose [20:14] hmm [20:14] on a different computer, just fsck [blockdevicename]? [20:15] Yourmghq: then use the web to find bugs and/or solutions [20:15] i think so, or on the same computer An_Ony_Moose [20:15] nikolam, on this computer it doesn't even get as far as creating a block device [20:16] An_Ony_Moose, I had some problems with some ntfs-formatted usbs and there is laso ntfsfix tool for that in repository [20:16] Look here! Where is the socks proxy option in konqueror? === Guest31512 is now known as crazed [20:16] An_Ony_Moose, it is strange, since I understood it worked previously [20:16] nikolam, it's FAT not NTFS, and it doesn't create a block device, so I essentially have no way to access it [20:17] nikolam, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/195651/ [20:17] output of dmesg [20:17] yes i understand but I said about ntfs, for future reference [20:17] does the hosts file work the same as windows "127.0.0.1 www.crappy.adwaresite.com" === mark____ is now known as sine` [20:17] trism, ok, gthumb rules, that was simple, no import, leaves my folders alone and lets me work with the pic, great, thanks!

[20:18] Sine`: define "shell" [20:19] ActionParsnip, that link was old info, I tried mapivi - ugly, found a new one, solang but it seems like a f-spot rebuild, less resource hungry though, gthumb is simple and what I want [20:19] An_Ony_Moose, wll, my besti is that. try to check it on another comp. and usbs are not devices that lasts for life, anyway etc. Also try it with another version from live cd. or after restarting etc [20:19] ActionParsnip: i want a shell account so i can have a transparant proxy. my isp is so bad it changes 10 times aday with lots of crappy ips. i want just one up static so i can get added to accounts that will allow only 1 ip [20:19] nikolam, I've asked about it in ##linux [20:19] and it's apparently a bug in the driver/kernel (as far as I gathered) [20:20] An_Ony_Moose, but it bothers me that it worked fine on same machine on 9.10 befor, as i understand? [20:20] yes nikolam, but probably just a kernel update [20:20] Maybe that could be worth to repost as a bug on launchpad if you think that is new behavior after updates or something [20:21] nikolam, apparently it's fixed in 2.6.32 or whatever [20:21] Sine`: get a free no-ip or dydns account and install the client app on your system. You can then use the name and it will resolve to whatever ip you have as the updater will update the dns ip ;) [20:21] An_Ony_Moose, please report a bug. I used to use Lts for a long time and has similar small issues for few hours that got cleared with updates after few hours I think [20:22] at least, they told me updating the kernel will fix it [20:22] so I'll wait up for 10.04 then see if I should file a bug [20:22] or am I misunderstanding you? [20:22] An_Ony_Moose, well, its just not ¨ubuntu way¨ to recompile kernel yourself. Ubuntu is supported system and in wide use, [20:22] ActionParsnip: how long does it take to update with the freedns [20:22] Sine`: I use no-ip and have noip2 installed on one of my servers, it updates my ip every 20 mins [20:23] nikolam, I get it... Just not sure what to put in it >_> [20:23] Best thing is to describe a bug that supposedly arised after update as I understand [20:23] uuuh === tanderson_ is now known as brokentux [20:23] 2.6.31-20... the -20 is a distro-specific... thing, right? [20:23] sine`: you can change the frequency when you install the client. Its on the repo too [20:24] You can also try to use older kernel from repository, previous release from 9.10, try to install it from synaptic [20:24] does somebody use a Logitech Quick Cam with skype? [20:24] hmm [20:24] SnowmanX11, yes, I do [20:24] it works perfectly [20:24] problems with it? [20:24] An_Ony_Moose: How an earth did you make it work? [20:24] yep, An_Ony_Moose every release of ubuntu freezes kernel and after that ut updates only what is needed for security updates, fixes, etc. [20:24] SnowmanX11, it worked plugnplay [20:25] You get that with Ubuntu for free, on some other systems its payed thing. [20:25] An_Ony_Moose: NOt for me. [20:25] I am getting funny lines on some webpages (black lines running along with images etc) I think its my monitor cos the lines change when I zoom in and out [20:25] nikolam, ok. so I put it now [20:25] how do I check if my monitor is installed correctly? [20:25] nice An_Ony_Moose :) [20:25] SnowmanX11: what model is it, logitech made a wide range of cams, some work nice some dont [20:25] or re-install a driver? perhaps a graphics driver? === eric is now known as Guest4413 [20:25] ActionParsnip: How can I check what type? [20:26] Kingsy102: you only need to worry about the video driver, the monitor will sort itself mostly [20:26] i downloaded compiz config settings manager awesome program give it a try [20:26] need help with it though [20:26] Snowmanx11: run: lsusb ,one line will identify the cam and you can websearch the 8 character hex id [20:26] !ask | guest4413 [20:26] guest4413: 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).

[20:29] Guest4413: #compiz sorry [20:29] ok, now this is massively annoying, after i leave nautilus alone for a while when connected to an FTP site, i eventually get an error when i try to open any folder [20:29] Guest4413: it has its own channel [20:29] nikolam, I don't know where to file the bug xD [20:29] Enelar, use sudo aptitude clean to delete all downloaded .deb files from apt cache for start , OR free some space on drive [20:29] o ic [20:29] this doesn't go away until i first "unmount" the ftp site from the left panel and then reconnect through my book mark [20:29] ty [20:29] nikolam, I've logged into launchpad, where do I go now?

[20:51] t3chkommie: you're standing on the line where thats iffy [20:52] buy more ram and go 64 bit :) [20:52] Hi. WHen executing "ls - lsh" I get a directory coloured red followed by a "->" to another red entry. Q1 - What a red entries? What does that colour symbolise. Q2 - What is the ->? Does it mean a sym link? [20:52] haha on no, this laptop isnt worth more ram. [20:52] if its iffy, i guess ill just prevent the flash 10 headaches and go with 32bit. [20:52] yea [20:52] Enelar: I don't know how to do it without booting from a live CD, especially not when editing the partition that is being used at the moment [20:52] hm... Mb I am a noob... When computer start, first is Windows menu - choose OS(which on C:\boot.ini), then ubuntu menu [20:53] acicula - basically I am getting WEIRD black lines appearing on my monitor next to images and stuff when I look at a webpage through a browser. [20:53] if i look at the same page through another pc the lines arnt there [20:53] what could that be? [20:53] the lines change place when I zoom in and out aswell :S [20:53] oh... then I shoul say peoples, that server have technical problems) [20:53] *should [20:53] daftykins, hey .... but i cant see the timer applet at add to panel [20:54] Enelar: that's a bit confusing, so there's a Windows bootloader, and then there's the Ubuntu bootloader (grub?) [20:54] Kingsy102, what driver are you using? [20:54] another qucik question, probably and easyone. if i upgrade to the new beta, when its made public will i have to reinstall or will i just have to sudo apt-get update/upgrade? [20:54] Gizmo_the_Great: no idea what the colors mean (try to find them in man ls) but you are right about sym links [20:54] Kingsy102, for you graphics card that is [20:54] t3chkommie: the apt-get thing works as usual [20:54] what in the world is http://ubuntu.securedservers.com ? it was mentioned in the Ubuntu manual [20:54] is there a way to play an h.264 stream in ubuntu? in Totem the stream plays without video and super fast audio. in VLC the video just shows a still image and no audio. [20:54] no, windows loader, then ubuntu menu with kernel params etc [20:55] Enelar: oh, you're running a server? [20:55] purvesh: so those two are probably not meant to be add-ons there. [20:55] doctech: so i wont have to reinstall once it goes public in april? [20:55] t3chkommie: at the beta stage they've usually done all the upgrade breaking changes that they are going to, but no promises [20:55] Enelar: unless anyone in here can prove it's a-okay to edit the partition you're currently working on [20:55] wh1t3 - I am not sure.. I didnt install anything [20:55] t3chkommie: you'll get updates everyday, so if you keep up to date - on release day, you'll be running Lucid release. [20:55] got it. thanks doc, i guess ill giver a go and see what happens ;) [20:56] thanks dafty! i love this channel!

It seems to continually think that I want to activate it and other accessibility keyboard options [21:23] medex, it looks like a silly thing to do [21:23] it doesnt even let me change any setting hhhhhhh passwd hhhh [21:24] magn3ts: what does it do though [21:24] medex: a give root password example from google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995033 [21:24] do i need to create a swap partition if i'm installing ubuntu in virtualbox [21:24] medex, don't use that command - it isn't even correct [21:24] test [21:24] medex, it would pipe the output of bash into the change password command [21:24] Anyone is a hacker here :P [21:24] medex, I don't think it would work at all really, where did you find it [21:24] pepee - can you be a little more specific? [21:25] KindOne, man aptitude :P [21:25] magn3ts: pitwalker posted it above [21:25] sudo will not run through pipes [21:25] my pipe is not a pipe now === jonas is now known as Gazuotas123 [21:25] mh [21:26] bog boy #_# [21:26] bye ppl [21:26] bub bye pe pee! [21:26] bub bye pe pee! [21:26] pitwalker, please don't give out directions for setting root password (especially incorrect ones) - it isn't supported in this channel [21:26] Ahmed\: stop please [21:26] Okay ! [21:27] Anyone knows what a BEST firewall is ? for Ubuntu and on Gnome, where i can see almost every connected thing with the internet ALL THE TIME :) [21:27] Ahmed\: pf ? [21:28] what is stands for ? [21:28] Ahmed\: trafshow - it's not a firewall, it's a live traffic logger [21:28] pf = packetfilter [21:28] or wireshark [21:28] ZykoticK9: why? I'm a system administrator, and I needed to use terminals with constant root account [21:29] geoffb: is that helpful ? i mean i wanna see what is connected and what's not [21:29] pitwalker: agreed [21:29] like look and stop on windows is a hundred times better then the built in firewalla :) [21:29] firewall [21:29] pitwalker, if you want to do that - that's fine. but don't tell others how -- and it's "sudo -i" to get a root shell [21:30] ? [21:30] ZykoticK9: you seen the example from ubuntuforums.org for "Give root password for maintenance [21:30] (or type Control-D for normal startup):" [21:31] Ahmed\: netstat will tell you about opem connection, firewall logs tell you what is dropped, firestarter can visualize some of this [21:31] what's bad about being root? [21:31] Dazzled: nothing if you know what you are doing [21:31] ZykoticK9: ubuntu is done when never asks for root's password [21:31] Hey, can somebody help me get my resolutions fixed up? I got some funky hardware that's messing with my attempts. [21:32] !root > pitwalker [21:32] pitwalker, please see my private message [21:32] Dazzled: it's like spending all day with a cocked gun [21:32] yes true but i cant block program with that :) i need to know any good firewall :) not a connection manager [21:32] pitwalker, read the page linked if you like [21:32] I know ;) [21:32] Ahmed\: ufw [21:32] whats that [21:33] Dazzled: working as root makes your system much more vulnerable against attacks via clients (web browsers,...) [21:33] Can someone assist me in configuring exim4 ? [21:33] ubuntu's frontend for the firewall [21:33] Okay i found it [21:33] ufw [21:33] downloading it [21:33] is that easy to use ? [21:33] read the documentation and find out [21:33] okay [21:33] good idea [21:34] !enter | Ahmed\ [21:34] Ahmed\: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:34] Okay ! [21:34] already used xrandr with no success. Is there anyone who could assist me? [21:35] i install it [21:36] where is it ?on my pc in applications ? === ubutom is now known as ubutom_ [21:37] its not a gui application, have a look on the ubuntu wiki on how to use ufw [21:37] no no i have install it now i cannot find it HUH strange [21:38] Ahmed\: it doesn't have a gui, so it won't be in the menus === ubutom_ is now known as ubutom3 [21:38] so how ? can i see that application === ubutom3 is now known as ubutom4 [21:40] in the installer when an existing /home partition is selected, is anything done besides setting the /home partition up in fstab, compared to not selecting a /home partition? [21:40] chelz: no unless you decided to format it [21:40] thats about it i think [21:41] Hey, I have a question concerning the creation of a CD from which you can boot. I tried making Ubuntu CDs using my desktop to rescue my laptop which has been thoroughly destroyed by viruses. It no longer boots an OS (it was running Windows XP), but it brings up the start up screen where you can see 'intel' and 'dell' .. It's like a 2001-02 Dell laptop. And it allows me to press the keystrokes to c [21:41] hoose what to boot from as well as the typical 'LAN boot' keystroke. But then, it just goes black .. [21:41] ah ok. since i'm thinking of copying in some stuff from a /home i have, but i want to setup an encrypted home. so i'd like the installer to set up the encrypted home then i copy my stuff in, but i'm not sure if that would throw anything off === ukdkbr is now known as glennbeck [21:43] ShelbyDingo: so if its full of viruses then delete all the partitions and install an operating system fresh. [21:43] Hey, has anyone got font smoothing to work for the latest Wine PPA? [21:43] I can't even get it to boot to Windows. [21:43] ShelbyDingo: did you set up your BIOS to boot from CD first? [21:43] ShelbyDingo: So reinstall windows [21:43] It just goes black .. even when I choose boot from +Hard drive. [21:44] I don't *have* my Windows anymore. [21:44] ShelbyDingo: if you can't repair your OS, you could boot to a livecd or liveusb and backup all the data you need then reinstall your OS [21:44] ShelbyDingo: You delete the existing partitions and start fresh/ [21:45] hi [21:45] I tried making CDs. But I think I screwed up. I was using the methods illustrated on the Ubuntu site, but I can't seem to figure out how to image burn the .iso--even using the infrarecorder program that they offer. [21:46] And how do you delete paritions if you can't access anything passed the first initial screen? [21:46] Will this run Ubuntu? :) http://www.thenerdwire.com/featured/zenpad-alternative-to-ipad/ [21:46] some movie sites claim that for watching you ll need divx player... are those sites working with ubuntu? [21:46] ShelbyDingo, why do you try to create something you can download? [21:46] ShelbyDingo: learn to burn an ISO and go from there. [21:46] ShelbyDingo: you boot to a disc to change partitions. but make sure you have any data you want to keep backed up before you delete the partitions [21:46] ShelbyDingo, there are many livecds out there [21:47] ShelbyDingo, You are on Windows? I'll tell you how to use infrarecorder if you like. [21:47] how do i uninstall ubuntu and repartition the harddrive back to preistall of ubuntu? [21:47] Matisse: some sites like that are malware sites that try to get you to install their own 'player' that's just spyware/adware. for read embedded divx/xvid stuff, ubuntu works fine [21:47] Matisse: no, you don't [21:47] DarkVoid82: back to preinstall ubuntu? What? [21:48] Matisse: I watch several sites that use DivX, and I'm on Ubuntu now :) [21:48] Ubutom4: This is for my laptop. I'm currently on my desktop, trying to get some help on how I can get Ubuntu on my laptop. [21:48] DarkVoid82: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-safely-uninstall-ubuntu-in-windows-dual-boot-environment/ [21:48] Matisse: I did install a totem plugin IIRC [21:48] LinuxGuy2009, he wants to get install ubuntu again in his Ubuntu partition, I do believe. Is that possible? [21:48] ShelbyDingo, whats the problem burning it on your desktop and booting it up on your laptop? [21:48] LinuxGuy2009: i take it he means back before ubuntu was installed [21:48] chelz: thank you thats what i'm lookin for [21:48] Dazzled, chelz, ok thx, ill find it [21:49] can someone please tell me how to totally remove FF and install a NEW completly clean version? [21:49] People ask the darndest questions. [21:49] ShelbyDingo, just select boot from cd-rom at startup and yo'll be able to install [21:49] I don't want any settings saved at all [21:49] everything new [21:49] hi [21:49] can anyone tell me please [21:49] how to autoload a module [21:49] chelz: yes thats what i meant, linuxguy: its just temporarily [21:49] everytime ubuntu starts up [21:50] DarkVoid82: instead of making a new partition in the space where the ubuntu partition was, you could boot to you ubuntu livecd and use Partition Editor to resize your NTFS/Windows partition to fill up all the space now freed by removing the Ubuntu partition [21:50] tired of writing modprobe rtl8187 [21:50] chelz: run that by me again? [21:51] whats the link to the 64 bit flash player? [21:51] how to i navigate to a file directory in linux terminal? [21:52] hello [21:52] DarkVoid82: that guide recommends creating a partition where ubuntu's partition used to be. a better setup in my mind is to resize the ntfs partition to grow to fill the space, rather than making a new separate partition [21:52] Why do my laptop kept shutting down whenever the disk produce high activity? [21:52] !terminal TommyThaGun [21:52] i could not w8 for the 10.04 release [21:52] ubottu: flash64 | sage_ [21:52] sage_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [21:52] chelz: can the livecd take linux off? i just need to get rid of it temporarily [21:52] thanks [21:52] koori: cd [21:52] koori, use the cd command [21:52] koori: you use the command "cd". read these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal and http://www.instructables.com/id/Linux-Terminal-Basics/ [21:53] hey [21:53] how to load a module on ubuntu start-up automatically? [21:53] and updatet, from a 8.04 lts (running system) [21:53] Kingsy102, generell solution is the purge option of apt-get [21:53] olaa [21:53] olaa [21:53] DarkVoid82: yeah the livecd can. but you might not need to delete it, depending on what you want to do. sometimes just reinstalling the windows bootloader works [21:53] algun [21:53] xico apañao [21:53] Matisse - I tried that it didnt work [21:53] ubottu: es | lauriya [21:53] lauriya: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:53] chelz: o.O how do i reinstall the windows bootloader? [21:53] Tom2: Add it to your /etc/modules file. [21:53] hmm [21:53] Kingsy102, how was it not working [21:54] now i do have a mess, update stopped at memtest86+ [21:54] Matisse - it says Package firefox is not installed, so not removed [21:54] Why do my laptop kept shutting down whenever the disk produce high activity? Is this a hardware failure? [21:54] DarkVoid82: it says how in that guide. calls it an 'mbr' thing [21:54] which is impossible cos I have it open right now [21:54] chelz: yeah the master boot record [21:54] and just launched a new copy [21:54] ieks [21:54] sorry folks [21:55] Kingsy102: you might have installed firefox outside of ubuntu's package management system [21:55] should have tourned all displays on [21:55] chelz - so in that case how would I go about removing it? [21:55] Kingsy102, you need the version number [21:55] Anyone here know how to configure exim4 to send emails? [21:55] Matisse - 3.5.8 [21:56] Kingsy102, then the package name might be firefox-3.5 [21:56] ok [21:56] let me try that [21:56] chillindave: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Exim4 [21:56] chelz, I've already looked at that, but nothing I find says anything about the configuration screen settings. [21:57] They all say "sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", but don't explain any of the parameters there. [21:57] Matisse - ok done.. and it seems to have gone [21:57] chelz: i don't a windows cd/dvd(from what the guide says) the sytem came on my laptop, with no discs. can i use something like ultimate boot cd for windows? [21:57] They skip right over them. [21:58] chillindave: http://wiki.exim.org/FrontPage [21:58] Kingsy102, hopefully you dont need any configuration stuff right now :) [21:58] how do i run fsck from ubuntu live CD ? === tydizzle is now known as Caspa [21:59] fsck /dev/s?? [21:59] DarkVoid82: this might work: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 [21:59] Matisse - no I want a totally clean install [21:59] DarkVoid82: what are you doing this for btw? === glennbeck is now known as ukdkbr === bobby_ is now known as Guest69384 [22:00] I had ubuntu 10.04 installed on my first hd sda and I installed 9.10 onto sdb how can I mount my ext3 partition on sda [22:00] can't seem to find stable rtl8187 driver [22:00] chelz: its just temporary until my semester in college is over and I can properly install linux to dual boot, i'm having too many problems [22:00] the one from airmon turns my computer off [22:02] Tom3: have you read over this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182473 [22:02] Matisse - ok this is REALLY doing my head in BADLY [22:02] I did sudo apt-get install firefox and it re-installed but ALL of my settings are back.. bookmarks everything [22:02] I want a clean install [22:02] ARRGGHH heh [22:02] not yet.. thank you gonna read it through [22:02] tvaughn: try rephrasing your question [22:03] Kingsy102: sudo apt-get purge firefox instead of remove [22:03] whoops didnt mean to hit enter [22:03] Kingsy102: all of that stuff is installed in ~/.mozilla/firefox [22:03] as I figured it out [22:03] Kingsy102: you might need to manually move/remove it [22:03] Kingsy102, so how about deleted the config files in your home directory [22:03] ok [22:03] iceroot, even purge won't remove things from a user's home directory (in this case all the firefox settings) [22:03] Kingsy102: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/Desktop/ [22:04] purge affects system wide settings only, not user settins [22:04] ZykoticK9: depending on the postrm-script [22:04] Would anyone be able to help with a wireless adapter questions? [22:04] iceroot, you're probably right - i've never personally seen it... [22:04] Kingsy102: it's best to use the latest firefox in the ubuntu repos, settings for some programs like firefox have to be managed separately. to reset firefox's settings, you do not need to uninstall firefox, just moving or removing its settings folder [22:04] !ask | danalemon [22:04] danalemon: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:05] ZykoticK9: yes the standard is not to remove something like that but it is possible [22:05] Kingsly: Try sudo apt-get --purge autoremove firefox [22:05] iceroot: pretty sure it's against the packaging policy, though. [22:05] Sorry. about that. [22:05] rww: never read them [22:05] rww: wonder if its (automatically) checked thouh [22:05] danalemon: no problem. just the more you know. [22:06] acicula: if what's checked? whether a package removes stuff from your ~/ ? [22:06] Ubuntu 9.1 on a desktop: Will most wireless adaptors work for it, or should I look for a specific one? [22:06] rww: yeah, in the ppa/ubuntu repositories i mean, since they use an automated build system [22:06] acicula: I don't think it does. [22:08] danalemon: look for a specific one [22:08] danalemon: basically just avoid broadcom [22:08] chelz - thanks fixed it [22:08] blakkheim: Belkin? [22:08] Matisse - thanks [22:09] danalemon: depends on the chipset [22:10] is there any check disk function to scan ntfs partitions in ubuntu? [22:10] is there any way to assign manually IRQ's to devices??? [22:10] kubanc: yes. in partition editor right click and left click something like "check" or "repair" [22:11] chelz, you wanna say gedit? [22:11] danalemon: what kind of wireless adapter are you looking for? usb, pci, laptop expansion slot? [22:11] jsjc: bios [22:11] iceroot: but if the bios does not support it? [22:11] jsjc: then not [22:11] kubanc: what? [22:11] Kingsy102, no problem [22:12] chelz: usb, it's my dads old dell, and i want to give it to my neighbor. but it needs the wireless [22:12] jsjc: imo that is not related to the os, oonly to the mainboard/bios [22:12] chelz, where can i found partition editor in ubuntu? [22:12] because windows allows you to change IRQ's in device manager so I thought there must be a way in linux to do it... [22:12] iceroot: thanks for the info tho! [22:12] i will try yo resolve the issue in a different manner hehe [22:13] danalemon: these should help: http://www.google.com/search?q=good+wireless+OR+wifi+usb+adapter+for+ubuntu [22:13] kubanc: if its installed it will be in System -> Administration -> Partition Editor [22:13] jsjc: IRQs in Linux aren't nearly the issue that they used to be in Windows [22:13] As in...not an issue, unless you happen to be using something like a 3c905 with onboard IRQ jumpers on an ISA board? [22:13] kubanc: if it's not installed you have to install: gparted [22:13] chelz, i'm using LIVE CD right now, but i have gparted installed [22:14] kubanc: yeah, it's on the livecd [22:14] kubanc: do Check [22:14] Yhetti: not an issue til you encounter one then you are stuffed... because cannot do much. But I bet i willl find a solution to get around [22:15] chelz, gparted cannot execute check function. it stops at speciffic position [22:16] kubanc: pastebin the output of: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 [22:16] kubanc: where /dev/sda1 is the partition [22:16] anyone know another good streaming player like streamtuner..streamtuner seems to be broke [22:17] is it possible to export properties with python dbus? [22:17] chelz, ok, but right now i'm trying chkdsk with Windows boot CD, i'll tell you if it will work out [22:17] what application/configuration sets the permissions in /usr/local for Ubuntu? we have our /usr/local/ mounted remotely, and the Ubuntu boxes keep resetting the permissions on it === ka_ is now known as ka__ [22:20] anyone suggest a decent uk shell account provider, dont even want bg just for gsdm [22:20] dont have a static ip and need one [22:20] ubottu: ot | sine` [22:20] sine`: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

You should probably run "uname -a" first and make sure to not remove the same version as the one it tells you you're running, but removing anything older than that is fine (though you may want to keep one around just to be safe). [22:22] djbeenie_: that seems to be the only one of its kind in terms of being dedicated to listing online streams. a media player called vlc has a feature where it will list the latest Shoutcast radio listings, and rhythmbox plays radio streams quite nicely.

More specific, the window decorations crash and some libraries like smfl cant do proper graphics, any idea? [22:28] djbeenie_: you might try contacting the streamplayer people and making sure they know it's not working on ubuntu. they probably have an email listed somewhere on their site for contact purposes. [22:28] chelz, ah, I sort of figured apt had something to do with it... I guess I can poke around and try to figure out where it does that [22:28] chelz, thanks, btw [22:28] thnk you IdleOne&chelz [22:28] booted up to a livecd and need to repair or re-install grub and it's a bit confusing/frustrating [22:28] arpad_: welcome [22:28] chelz, they havent updated their code since 2004 lol [22:29] can i run ubuntu live CD without and disk drives connected to motherboard [22:29] ka__: that's the most likely culprit to me, but there could be any number of other things changing it. maybe some lsof thing could help [22:29] kubanc: yes [22:29] Can someone suggest a good tiling window manager that I can replace metacity with that plays nicely with Gnome?

Also gnome-volume-control gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond" I tried restarting hal and alsa-utils. What else can I do?

[23:04] unop, thanks. :) [23:05] Urda, sorry to repeat myself, but I don't think the icon placement is the big thing that keeps someone from using linux ;) [23:05] Urda: I do agree, newcomers search 'patterns', things they already know, 90%, that's Windows [23:05] sirninja: what didn't work exactly? [23:05] ubutom3: What Dazzled said, much better wordsmith than I [23:05] Vampire0: apt-cache policy packagename [23:05] unop, there I see what version is installed, the candidate and the version table [23:06] So they don't know what the buttons do, because they are on the other side? come on, do you really believe this? [23:06] Vampire0: the version table includes the info you are wanting. [23:06] Vampire0, yes, I don't see a problem? [23:06] Versions-Tabelle: [23:06] *** 1.5.0-22-0ubuntu0.8.04 0 [23:06] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [23:06] Vampire0, if a package isn't installed, installed: lists (none) [23:06] This is all the version table tells [23:06] I don't see the point in changing the default.... New users will prefer it on the right, if you want it on the left all you have to do is modify /apps/metacity/general/button_layout in gconf-editor === Guest14247 is now known as JediMaster- [23:07] hm, in another package it shows the repo [23:07] Vampire0 . apt-cache showpkg package_name [23:08] iirc this was is a clean Karmic install, no update from former Ubuntu [23:08] where can i get a tutorial on ubuntu 9.10 programming (with its terminal) [23:08] hey, can anyone help me with setting up SSH, or direct me to the best channel for that?

[23:14] has anyone had time to look into this ? wpa_supplicant causes my system to crash it's a well known bug i just don't know what to do to fix it [23:14] i have karmic amd64, firefox 3.5.8 and sun-java6-jdk 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04. i NEED sun-java6-plugin for firefox, but when i'm trying to install it, it suggests to remove jdk and downgrade my jre to 6-15-1. [23:14] hello all [23:14] akshaya, is the ssh service started? [23:14] The problem: I cannot ssh into my linux box from a PC laptop i have or a mac laptop my friend owns. I can successfully ssh into localhost from the box itself [23:14] akshaya: You can check if ssh is listening: `netstat -tulpen | grep :22` for example [23:14] why sun-java6-plugin in karmic is older than in hardy? :) [23:14] I have a problem in gnome where the window options (max, min , close) show up on the left side of the window [23:15] what is going on here [23:15] akshaya: firewall/router problem [23:15] akshaya: 0.0.0.0:22 means it listens to all IP addressen, 127.0.0.1:22 just localhost [23:15] ok, vlt, i get this : (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info [23:15] will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

[23:17] akshaya: Are they in the same subnet? [23:17] yep [23:17] i tried upgrading a wubi ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and it said it "could not calculate the upgrade" in the "setting new software channels" step, after it does something abuot the package manager and uses a bit of CPU. is this common? [23:17] both questions [23:17] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sun-java6-plugin&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all - it's amazing :) [23:17] what shell uses ${PATH}? [23:17] i did have chrome-beta from google's repos, and i just removed it & the repo [23:17] newest distribution has oldest package [23:17] akshaya, ok, ssh -vv username@box # and paste the output on a pastebin [23:17] git__: most? [23:17] git__, any POSIX or bourne shell [23:18] ok, heres the rub: im using putty from my windows laptop: how do i run those kinds of commands? [23:18] akshaya, errm, no idea -- what is putty's actual error (if any) ? [23:18] I'm having an issue with my samba install. [23:18] My sab.conf file got cleared and I don't know how to recreate it. [23:18] unop, must be. Probably only my lacky brain :-( [23:18] zvacet, sun-java5-jdk [23:19] it says: Access denied. A pretty generic error, i guess [23:19] It seems I installed the hardy package I think [23:19] akshaya, does it ask for a username and password? [23:19] yes for both! [23:19] 1.5.0-22-0ubuntu0.8.04 is the full version number. I guess the 8.04 at the end means it is a hardy package [23:19] akshaya, and you're using the right credentials for a valid user? [23:20] akshaya, same happens from a mac? [23:20] yes, user is Akshaya on my linux box, [23:20] Vampire0: install the version from the repo to be sure its fit to your distri [23:20] I have one physical drive, but in Palimpset Disk Utility it lists 230GB free and 242GBfree partitions, why can I not create one big partition from those two spaces? [23:20] correct password [23:20] iceroot, Java 5 is not in the Karmic repos anymore ;-) [23:20] akshaya, does the same happen from the mac? [23:21] Vampire0: then use java6 [23:21] I guess that is why i installed the hardy package [23:21] iceroot, I use java6 [23:21] yeah, both clients get asked for user and pass, but both are denied [23:21] But I also need Java 5 like many others [23:21] thanks jrib, unop [23:21] Just google the forums iceroot ;-) [23:21] Vampire0: no [23:21] do u guys know why export does not work from bash script? [23:21] I just wondered where I installed that package from [23:21] What "no"? [23:21] Vampire0: i dont google the forums === ZTG is now known as ZTG|Taekwondo [23:22] Then just believe me :-) [23:22] git__, you mean you set a variable to be exported in a script, you run the script but the variable is not present in your shell?? [23:22] Vampire0: ok [23:22] hello [23:22] unop, yep [23:22] akshaya, I would run ssh -vv user@box from the mac terminal then [23:22] unop, is the script creating a new shell when its running? [23:22] hey I'm looking for some help w/ Samba. [23:23] heya, could anybody tell me how to update my eglibc packages to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ [23:23] !ask | hooge1kanobi [23:23] hooge1kanobi: 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. :-) [23:23] git__, well, you cannot do that -- it's the way unix works, a child process cannot affect its parent's environment [23:23] how many of u run an EXT4? [23:23] zvacet, now you know why I didn't say the package name in the beginning *g* [23:23] alright, hang on a second there unop, this requires a little walking. brb with stuff i hope [23:23] or have recently upgraded to it? [23:23] i am a freebsd person and am new to ubuntu's packaging system, but need to update to a later version of eglibc [23:23] git__, yes, a subshell [23:23] Trouble with the following My sab.conf file got cleared and I don't know how to recreate it. [23:23] I knew those answers would come [23:23] hihihi100: it's the 9.10 default [23:23] hihihi100: I installed Karmic on a PC today, using EXT4 [23:23] it wasnt for me, given that I had to upgrade [23:23] unop, if I want to call preceding executables, i would have to call it within the script that I had the export? [23:23] and I had to install GRUB2 too [23:24] git__, if you really must have the variable exported in your shell, then you need to have the script sourced by the shell i.e. source /path/to/script [23:24] anyway, I cannot type to log in on ICQ... can that be related to my recent upgrade to EXT4? [23:24] spike_: you have 3 choices .. keep the current version available that the repositories offers. find a .deb of the version you want. get the source and compile the version you want manually [23:24] I'm trying to install from the mini.iso and the partitioner doesn't like my choices. it says it has to remove "operating sytem files" but when I click 'continue' i get booted back to the partitioner [23:24] unop, ah, i forgot about source :) [23:25] git__, i'm not sure I understand that question -- try 'source' out and see if it addresses your problem, if not ask your question again [23:25] unop, you are the best [23:25] wat good mmo is on linux? [23:25] bastid: it appears in the lucid repository there is a version of it ready to be added, but i don't know how to switch repositories, or if its even possible. [23:25] eglibc (2.11.1-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low [23:25] V3RR3Z: what ones aren't? [23:25] Not through wine though. [23:26] bastid: are you sure that changing the repository to get a different version is not also an option? [23:26] Hey all. I seem to be having problems getting my resolution right in the new 10.04 beta. I already tried using xrandr with no effects. I'm running this on weird via chrome hardware, and would appreciate some help. [23:26] spike_: that is a bad idea.. you should only use the repository for your version. mixing repos will break your install. [23:26] aha [23:26] unop, looks like i cant get that for you. the mac thinks theres a man-in-the-middle attack because i reinstalled the server on my linux box, so the fingerprint changed, etc. and fixing that is not something my friend wants to do [23:26] bastid: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ <--- are the .deb's here what I want, or is that from the lucid version? [23:27] any way i could do this from the command line in a windows machine? [23:27] spike_: that would be karmic [23:27] being from the current release [23:27] spike_: that looks like it should work. now the only thing to worry about is dependency issues. [23:28] spike_: google apt-pinning and apt priority [23:28] V3RR3Z: Guild Wars and WoW Work fine in Wine, Vendetta Online has a Linux version, Eternal Lands... [23:29] i have banshee and it wont see my ipod which ubuntu CAN see [23:29] someone please help [23:29] why does the partition manager always tell me that /dev/sda5 has not been marked for formatting? [23:29] !ipod | bigtom21485 [23:29] bigtom21485: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:29] I've already tried xrandr & can't change the resolution, how do I do this? [23:29] bigtom21485: Known bug... it has to do with the whole hal vs udev thing... You have to make nautilus not automount to be able to use it in 9.10 [23:29] hcl2: check the checkbox for formatting === itguru_ is now known as newbiedude [23:30] how do I add the "q" command for quitting a bash script? I want to be able to close the script using 'q'. [23:30] Typos_King: there isn't a checkbox for formatting [23:30] eremite: you might have better luck asking in #bash [23:31] hcl2: is sda5 swap? [23:31] hcl2: you're installing, right? [23:31] anyone at all ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/406735/ [23:31] sda6 is swap, sda5 is / [23:31] yes, installing from mini.iso [23:32] yup this seems like exactly what i want [23:32] thanks guys. [23:32] bigtom21485: in gconf-editor, go to /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount and uncheck the box... log out and log back in and your iPod should work in Banshee [23:32] looking into apt-pinning now [23:32] op nick [23:32] I already formatted it by selecting "erase all data on partition" [23:32] eremite: read varname; if [ $varname = 'q'] then exit fi; I'd think [23:32] http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1431454.html same problem as that [23:32] hcl2: soooo..... if it's formatted, everything is ok, no? [23:33] yeah, except the installer won't continue [23:33] can i use http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ as an extra repository? [23:34] it says "failed to remove confliting files" and both and take me to the partition editor [23:34] like to add to sources.list, so that i can set the preferences for eglibc to come from there? [23:34] spike_: read some tutorials on apt-pinning. it's a bit tricky. [23:34] spike_: also man apt_preferences and the manpages for the other config files [23:34] hello all!!!1 [23:34] hcl2: does the partition tool give you an option for 'format' /? [23:34] i have a screen res problem [23:34] also, what if i set the priority to the earlier linked site, then to fall back to the stable repository, since the above link ONLY contains eglibc packages (+deps), wouldn't everyting else default to the stable repository? [23:35] can someone please explain to me why if sound works in flash with firefox it doesn't with chrome and vice/versa? [23:35] spike_: note that if you're not careful you can easily completely hose your system by starting a chain of updating stuff so that it doesn't boot and nothing works [23:35] spike_: yes, that's probably what you would do [23:35] yeah thanks for the warning :p [23:35] probably going to break your system though. so. good times. [23:35] ryan___: what did changing that do? [23:35] is smuxi better than xchat? [23:35] i have to update this though, userspace applications are not properly functioning as it is due to eglibc2.1 instead of 2.11 [23:36] my desktop is too big so im over by an inch or so al the war around [23:36] how do you change the desktop resolution? [23:36] http://www.theonion.com/articles/if-you-put-your-mind-to-it-you-can-believe-anythin,17168/ [23:36] !res | owner_ [23:36] owner_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [23:36] bigtom21485: That means you have to go to "Places" and click on your device to get it to mount, but, it makes Banshee see my ipod (After I mount it) [23:36] hihihi100: 'better' is a relative term, I prefer xchat over else [23:36] Admin_: just a moment [23:37] just asking,,, I installed smuxi 10 mns ago [23:37] ryan___: that didnt work [23:37] for the 1st time [23:37] thank you chelz [23:37] i may try xchat [23:37] now i'm scared, maybe i'd be better off just manually compiling eglibc's latest version [23:37] Admin_: what is the brand and model number of your computer? [23:37] the resolution i need is not an option in the nividia control pannel [23:37] hey guys im looking for a program that will act as a like VNC or RDP server?? [23:37] Lenovo G550 [23:37] i'm compiled a million things before and am comfortable with that/compiling dependancies manually, its just the package management system that i'm unfamiliar with. [23:37] hihihi100: xchat and xchat-gnome are not the same ones per se, the one I 'prefer' is xchat itself :P [23:38] fyi [23:38] spike_: the only way to learn with stuff like this is to do. you could try playing in a VM or on another partition before doing it to your main system [23:38] okay, sda5 is all broken now, "cannot find valid filesystem or superblock" from tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 [23:38] basically i want to create a server that ic an login via a GUI into a place and see a list of people i can connect to via VNC or W/e. They will obviously have a client installed on their machine.. [23:38] That's a good idea. THis is my only ubuntu server, everything else is fbsd/obsd, which i have am very familiar with the package management. But I guess it cannot hurt to learn. [23:38] it worked in windows by adjusting the "zoom" [23:39] im hoked to a 55" tv [23:39] i can acess this via like a webconsole or something... but in the end the people will install software so i can work on their computers or somewhat to logmein Rescue.. but opensource server for linux? [23:39] ill try both and choose one [23:39] hdmi [23:39] is there anything like this that exists? [23:39] typos_king: i think its something wrong with banshee because ubuntu sees it, and tells banshee to pen as i told ubuntu to do [23:39] does anyone know where the Xorg.conf file is in 10.04? [23:39] Guess its time to connect to vcenter and setup a virtual machine :p [23:39] but then banshee sits there like my ipod isnt there [23:39] Admin_: are you on ubuntu 9.10? [23:39] bigtom21485: remove your ipod, then open a terminal and run "killall -9 nautilus" then plug your ipod in. Then press alt + f2, you should get a run prompt and type in "nautilus" [23:39] yes ubuntu 9.10 32-bit [23:39] Thanks for the help, its appreciated [23:40] joedark: run a -> locate Xorg.conf; [23:40] Typos_King: would that be in terminal? [23:40] Admin_: was it a new install or an upgrade? and did it not work initially? [23:40] its saying "nautilus: no process found" [23:40] is there a way for me to get internet from my laptop (Vista-wireless) to my ubuntu computer? [23:40] I'm trying to use an public key to connect to a nother computer, the strange thing is that I get this error: [23:40] agent admitted failure to sing using the key [23:40] Any ideas? [23:40] How do i figure out exactly what version of ubuntu i'm running so i can make sure to install the same one in my vm? [23:40] wow, this partitioner is all messed up. it said it was going to use sda5 as ext3, but when I went to change it, the default value jumped to swap [23:40] joedark: btw, is all caps last I recall, xorg.conf, yes in terminal, mind you 9.1 didn't make one by default, though you could make or use one [23:40] I have problem in netbeans ,,, I can not use CTRL button !! :) [23:41] so, i re selected ext3 [23:41] new install and it worked right out of the box but the system would crash from time to time [23:41] all lowercase I meant [23:41] bigtom21485: Er... are you sure you spelled it right...? lol... Or are you using Kubuntu? [23:41] spike_: cat /etc/lsb-release [23:41] well, xchat seems to be easier to use... [23:41] spike_, lsb_release -a in a terminal [23:41] Typos_King: thanks a ton, let me check on that. I need to change my resolution & xrandr didn't help [23:41] same thing with sda6 and swap [23:41] can someone please explain to me why if sound works in flash with firefox it doesn't with chrome and vice/versa? [23:41] http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/X+Tile?content=99624 Why is this not in the repos? Is the only way to install it to download it? [23:42] seems like it can only handle 1 partition type change per install attempt [23:42] Admin_: did you install the proprietary Broadcom STA Driver through the ubuntu utility? [23:42] im using ubuntu [23:42] Hi, I'm trying to install samba for Karmic Koala and the packages aren't found using apt-get. Any suggestions? [23:42] is there a way for me to get internet from my laptop (Vista-wireless) to my ubuntu9.10 computer? [23:42] infid: can you explain further? [23:42] hi [23:42] How do I add ntfs support to gparted === jay is now known as Guest47726 [23:42] Hi, what port does ubuntus software manager use because I blacklisted all ports except irc and it snuck through my firewall! this scares me [23:43] I need help here :) ,,, I have problem in netbeans ,,, I can not use CTRL button [23:43] all i had open was port 80, 443, and 8001 === idiot is now known as Guest34251 [23:43] HughJass: any errors? [23:43] no cause my wireless card is not a Broadcom [23:43] hfdhfdhfdhdff: 80 [23:43] i removed some old kernel versions, but there remained something in the grub boot menu and some files in /boot. do i have to remove some other packages or was the option "remove" wrong (instead of "purge")? [23:43] harisund: http://open.vitaminap.it/en/x_tile.htm#downl - the deb should work [23:43] i'm using Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [23:43] any know how to fix banshee so it can see an ipod [23:43] hfdhfdhfdhdff: it just downloads packages off of webservers... [23:43] scarra3: I think you need to install -> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [23:43] how hard can this be? its only the reson why we make an mp3 player for computers [23:43] Admin_: were you prompted to install the driver? === joesphbailey is now known as administrator [23:44] IdleOne, Yes it gives me 404 errors for all the packages it is trying to download from security.ubuntu.com [23:44] Typos_King thats not even in the repos [23:44] scarra3: make sure ntfsprogs are installed === administrator is now known as Guest41821 [23:44] thanks... that scared me i thought someone comprimised my computer [23:44] no, no prompt at all [23:44] what things can i do to make ubuntu more secure [23:44] Admin_: connect using the ethernet cable, go to System > Administration > Hardware drivers and pick the Broadcom STA wireless driver and activate it. then restart and your wireless should work. [23:44] HughJass: try changing server in System > Administration > Software sources [23:45] Matisse: you want them out of the grub menu? why not just edit the template that makes grub.cfg and adds them, /etc/default/grub [23:45] HughJass: then click the reload button when asked and sudo apt-get install samba [23:45] Admin_: intel wireless cards contain chips in them. these chips can be broadcom. [23:45] Hi. I'm a total n00b to Ubuntu, and unable to get a Windows shared drive mounted. [23:46] well you can download a firewall pro so that no hackers get into your computer [23:46] Typos_King, already did that, but i want to get rid of the never-anymore-needed files too [23:46] Admin_: since the actual manufacturer of the card usually doesn't matter, people distinguish wireless cards with the manufacturer of the chips [23:46] Matisse: though I think the fact it finds the files in /boot is what 'adds' them from the template, try 'moving' the vmlinuz-... files you don't want from boot and do annother update-grub, to see what it produces [23:46] ok i am using my hard wire connection atm i will try that but to be clear my wireless has always worked fine just something called [23:46] I can't seem to get the Network folder to show my Windows network. [23:46] matisse im using firestarter is that good? i want a firewall which will BLACKLIST EVERYTHING unless i say its ok [23:46] wpa_supplicant causes my system to crash it's a well known bug [23:46] Typos_King: sound randomly stops working in firefox, which makes me have to go use chrome when i want to view a flash movie. and when sound randomly stops working in chrome i have to open firefox. === Guest41821 is now known as joesph [23:47] I get some firewall error, but I don't have a Firewall icon in System>Administration. [23:47] matisse right now inbound traffic i dont think its blacklisted [23:47] Admin_: how did you determine that? [23:47] in the ubuntu fourms [23:47] everyone says to change the wpa to wep [23:47] and it solves it [23:47] Matisse, youre talking to the wrong one [23:47] IdleOne, thanks a lot, worked great. [23:48] but i figured by now there must be a bug fix out [23:48] Admin_: are you running Karmic? [23:48] Admin_: this seems to be a bug for it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/468519 [23:49] yes ubuntu 9.10 32-bit [23:49] HughJass: happy to help [23:49] infid: not sure.... I've never had that myself.... a plugin that works only now and then.... I'd think something is wrong with the plugin installation or the plugin itself [23:49] Admin_: you can get a launchpad account and click on "Subscribe/Unsubscribe" to be notified for changes in that bug. [23:49] so there is no fix out yet ? [23:49] how do you get the mac user name and password as administrator [23:49] Admin_: there doesn't appear to be a resolution, at least not one that's widely known, yet [23:49] any of you know your way around xampp in ubuntu? I got the software downloaded and extracted no problem, but I keep getting the page saying "It works! The server is running but there is no content yet". if I try to go to http://localhost/xampp/ it tells me the page cannot be found :/ any idea what's up? [23:50] you think ubuntu 10.04 will be ok ? [23:50] yo yo yo [23:50] Admin_: you did a good job checking the forums. if there are fixes they usually are outlined there. the other place to look is in bugreports [23:50] joesph: not sure you can get it, all you can do is reset the password, but that'd be in macOSX [23:51] thank you chelz [23:51] so i have no choice to use web the less secure [23:51] joesph: feel free to kindly summon the 'user' and ask him :), that's another way [23:51] wep* [23:51] Admin_: i am not sure about 10.04. upgrading is a good idea so either way i recommend you upgrade and find out. [23:51] Admin_: or ethernet. make sure you have mac address filtering enabled at least [23:52] yes i will upgrade when 10.04 is stable on april 29th [23:52] how do you completely remove flash cookies as well as the flash program and plug-ins from your system, including removing it from all browsers? [23:52] we gotta find out HELPPPPP [23:53] jkd4: there's usually options within the browsers themselves to remove all cookies [23:53] jkd4: bleachbit will remove the flash temp stuff.

I can do that [23:59] ryan_: what release are you using? [23:59] 9.10
