[00:00] how to configure wine to load automatically the exe files? [00:00] ravibn: sounds like a resolution issue. what kind if video card do you have? [00:00] how to configure wine to load automatically the exe files? [00:00] ryan_: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub add it next to "quiet splash" inside the quotes, then save the file, close gedit then run: sudo update-grub [00:00] dementorrr: ... no is AddType [00:01] diegogrez: right click, go to properies, then the Open With tab [00:01] what does the command updatedb do? [00:01] chelz: No video card on board intel 865 whatever chipset provides I am using it . It was alright till yesterday and suddenly today morning when I rebooted I am see thi [00:01] Is it possible to disable the window border from a single window? [00:01] diegogrez: Can you be more specific in what you mean? .exe files don't open with wine when you click on them? [00:01] jkd4: updates the "locate" command database. you can learn more by doing "man updatedb" in a terminal [00:02] no, it opens a compressor program. swoody [00:02] chelz: does it normally take a very long time? [00:02] dementorrr: there's a .conf file with a bunch of lines with AddType, just make sure you have one for the .php extension, it'd be -> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php [00:02] ravibn: are you able to get to your System -> Preferences [00:02] have a good day/night all [00:02] chelz: yes [00:02] diegogrez: what happens when you right-click the .exe, does it show Wine in the 'Open with...' menu? [00:02] jkd4: the first time it runs it'll take a while but subsequent runs should only be 2-3 minutes [00:02] YEs. [00:03] THere is WIne. but how to make it the default program to run exe's? [00:03] ravibn: try to get to a Screen Resolution sorta preference and see if changing stuff in there helps [00:03] jkd4: as chelz explained already, is more or less 'file indexing', so locate and other file-finding processes find files quicker using an index rather than scouring the hd which will take longer [00:03] diegogrez: right click, go to properies, then the Open With tab, then select Wine [00:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/406763/ <---- can somebody have a look over it? [00:03] diegogrez: ok, try as chelz said, right-click an .exe and go to properties, and select to use Wine by default... [00:04] jkd4: here, updatedb is like the filesystem filespiderbot :) [00:04] Actionparsnip: space after quiet splash so it looks like "quiet splash i8042.reset i8042.nomux"? [00:04] diegogrez: you may also need to make the file executable - in the properties menu again, select executing under Permissions [00:04] ryan_: indeed [00:04] Matisse: looks fine [00:04] Matisse: looks fine to me, wassup? [00:04] jinx [00:04] Actionparsnip: thanks [00:04] ok [00:05] Matisse: you can add --purge to the command to remove the config bits too [00:05] done [00:05] thanks [00:05] ActionParsnip, it uninstalled something more then I expected... "-------- Uninstall Beginning -------- Module: vhba" [00:05] ryan_: you can add ipv6.disable=1 too if you do not use ipv6 to speed up web browsing slightly [00:06] Matisse: yes for that kernel only [00:06] hi [00:06] ActionParsnip: I am doing this to keep my touchpad from being weird and buggy....mentioned here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/501843 === hp is now known as britany_okla [00:07] ryan_: yeah i've seen that fix, i've advised it soooo many times on launchpad questions [00:07] I've just installed lucid beta 1. While most things are working great, the console transparency isn't working as it should (I'm using compiz and it looks the same it would without compositing). Anyone as any idea why this is happening? [00:07] !lucid | jmcs [00:07] Actionparsnip: Hopefully it works [00:07] jmcs: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [00:07] ryan_: i'd say most likely [00:07] ActionParsnip, but if a kernel is removed, why should there be a module thats removed too? (it was also removed when uninstalling linux-ima...17) [00:08] ubottu, ok, sorry I'll as there :) [00:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:08] Matisse: because the kernel module will also be removed for that kernel as its no longer needed [00:08] ActionParsnip, , ok, sorry I'll as there :) [00:09] actionparsnip: Well, I'm sure I'll be back if there are problems [00:09] is it possible, in xchat, to minimize the channel list? [00:09] ActionParsnip, so, every extra module for a certain (although if is the same module) is kept at different places? [00:09] hihihi100; what do you mean minimize [00:09] *it [00:09] hihihi100: you can click the dividing bar between the channel list and the chat area and drag it until the chatlist is hidden [00:09] i usually put the channel list in tab mode [00:10] I mean to be able to, when clicking it, "minimize" it to the bottom's nstatusbar [00:10] statusbar [00:10] chelz: I just got the control bar. I just went into pref---> Appearance and changed visual effects to extra and it started working. One more Q I need that rotate the desktop panel how do I do [00:10] hihihi100; wait... are you using xchat-gnome ? === Berzerker- is now known as Berzerker [00:10] no idea.. im a noob [00:10] drag.. yes thats what I have been doin [00:10] Random832, more than likely [00:10] um, I have a logitech quickcam, how do i install the drivers for it? [00:10] Matisse: if you cd to /lib/modules you will see the modules for each kernel, the post install script removes these to save space [00:11] well neither app comes preinstalled IIRC, so you had to install whatever it is [00:11] ActionParsnip, ok, thx [00:11] pk23_: run: lsusb and websearch for the 8 character hex id [00:11] 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? [00:11] ravibn: the rotate cube? [00:11] chelz : thats right [00:12] Nijverheid: 'it works' is Apache's test page [00:12] ActionParsnip, can I safely remove modules from older kernel versions (which arent installed anymore) in that directory? === mOOey is now known as m00se [00:12] how can i see the cpu info ? [00:12] Matisse: sure, just make double sure it is gone [00:12] aye folks [00:12] ActionParsnip, do you mean the vendor and product id? [00:12] orudie_: cat /proc/cpuinfo | less [00:12] Nijverheid: /var/www [00:12] what is a good way to backup my laptop [00:12] pk23_: just the ID will be fine [00:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech this website says it uses the gspca driver [00:13] running ubuntu 9.1 [00:13] ActionParsnip, thanx [00:13] i need some help... nslookup is resolving localhost to google's dns server. that doesn't sound right to me [00:13] ravibn: try holding ctrl and alt and then moving the mouse [00:13] but what do i do next? [00:13] why are sudo and spt-get placed in /usr/bin and not /usr/sbin? [00:13] codnik: if you run: cat /etc/resolv.conf do you see 8.8.8.8 [00:13] ravibn: you also need to set your virtual desktop count to 4 [00:14] chelz : got the desktop rotating [00:14] 你好 [00:14] Dazzled: so I can just softlink /var/www/ to /opt/lampp/htdocs/ then? Don't see why I can't... [00:14] wow, cool [00:14] ravibn: working? [00:14] pk23_: find out how which gspca you need, ubuntu comes with a few, the id will tell you which [00:15] Nijverheid: as long as permissions are okay, that should work [00:15] ActionParsnip: yeah. i added nameserver 127.0.0.1 to that but i'm not sure that's a proper thing to do. it doesn't solve the problem, anyway [00:15] sweet [00:15] chelz: Yeah! got it working thank you [00:15] ravibn: good to hear :) [00:15] codnik: are you running something like dnsmasq [00:15] ActionParsnip: not that i'm aware of [00:16] codnik: then adding nameserver 127.0.0.1 will do nothing [00:16] 안녕 [00:16] !ot | hihihi100 [00:16] hihihi100: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:16] ok ok srry [00:17] ActionParsnip: ah, you're right. i entered dnsmasq in the terminal and now localhost resolves to the right ip [00:17] codnik: if you added the google dns servers in your network management app or /etc/resolv.conf then they will be used. its no bad thing, it will do the job [00:17] codnik: i use dnsmasq, you can check its working using dig [00:17] codnik: i would recommend opendns over google's dns.. [00:17] ActionParsnip: i wasn't aware of that until now. i actually thought it could be an issue because i'm not being able to listen on localhost for music player daemon [00:18] codnik: dig www.bmezine.com will take a few ms to finish, if you repeat it will take 0ms [00:18] blakkheim: it's been doing good for me here.. i actually moved from opendns to google's... just 'cause i'm a big google sucker [00:19] ravibn: if you skip the part about the nvidia drivers, this might be of interest to you: http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-fusion-on-an-ubuntu-9.10-desktop-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200 [00:19] anyone have a good guide to installing ubuntu on raid 0? [00:20] codnik: if your system is on long enough dnsmasq will have a decent amount of resolutions and you wont need any web based resolutions ;) [00:20] chelz: to hv the rotating cubing u need to change settings in System ---> pref --->CompizConfig settings [00:20] ActionParsnip: so how come it wasn't on by default? [00:20] ActionParsnip: also, can you help with my mpd issue? [00:20] it drove me crazy yesterday [00:21] codnik: it shouldnt be, your ISP's dns will be default, you have to add google's manually as well as localhost [00:21] chelz : select rotate cube option that is all I did [00:21] ActionParsnip: can you run your box while bitbleach is running? [00:21] codnik: not something i use dude [00:21] is there a way to create an image of my system for backup purposes [00:21] how do I install the gspca drivers for my webcam? [00:21] chelz : also uncheck Desktop wall [00:22] britany_okla, yes [00:22] pk23_: the ID will tell you [00:22] Berzerker: software or hardware raid [00:22] pk23_: the default install has many gspca drivers by default [00:22] what software did u use pk23 [00:22] chelz: I think it's software (fakeraid) [00:22] chelz: done through the bios [00:22] <^paradox^> im on ubuntu 8.04 lts. im still on version 3.0.18 of firefox and feel like i shouldve gotten the updates already for firefox 3.6. should i have seen that in updates manager by now? [00:22] ActionParsnip: dudette ;P [00:23] britany_okla, sorry I forgot, think it was a virtual machine when I did it [00:23] ^paradox^: no [00:23] ActionParsnip: anyway, thanks for the insights [00:23] ok [00:23] anyone here knowledgeable about MPD to give me a hand? [00:23] ActionParsnip, how do I know if the driver is even loaded properly? [00:23] ^paradox^: 3.6 will never be on 8.04 [00:23] <^paradox^> blakkheim: why is that? [00:23] codnik: #mpd [00:23] resolv.conf is autogenerated though(by default), so changes (by default) wont stick [00:23] Berzerker: fakeraid is fakeraid, neither software nor hardware. newer motherboard do a strange thing of claiming some kind of hardware raid but actually not really supporting it at all. i would suggest going full software raid and ignoring fakeraid [00:23] ^paradox^: learn a bit about debian package freezing [00:23] blakkheim: good point... -___-" [00:23] pk23_: if its loaded then if you run cheese you will see yourself === Augur_ is now known as Zeiris- [00:24] resolv.conf is autogenerated by Network Manager so any permanent changes should be made in Network Manager [00:24] correct [00:24] ActionParsnip, it doesn;t :( [00:24] chelz: assuming network manager is running or even installed [00:24] pk23_: then you'll need guides [00:24] ActionParsnip: it is even on a bare ubuntu, and this is #ubuntu? [00:25] pk23_: i've given direction [00:25] <^paradox^> blakkheim: ok so what do i need to do to upgrade? is there gonna be any negative effect on firefox if i download the 3.6 deb? [00:25] acicula: ubuntu is also customisable and although its default doesnt mean everybody uses it [00:25] ^paradox^: you need to upgrade ubuntu or switch to a distro that stays up to date with packages [00:25] blakkheim: looks like no one is around in #mpd :( [00:25] codnik: be patient [00:25] Berzerker: you probably want the alternate disc. here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [00:26] Berzerker: also if you want to know why fakeraid is horrible: http://thebs413.blogspot.com/2005/09/fake-raid-fraid-sucks-even-more-at.html [00:26] 10.04 is being released at the beginning of april or at the end of it? [00:26] hihihi100: april 29 [00:26] heh, think I just fubared xampp installation... oh well, I'll just have to start again :) [00:26] !lucid | hihihi100 [00:26] hihihi100: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [00:26] ok [00:26] chelz: yeah but I don't want to spend money on a hardware raid controller and it's a raid of SSDs [00:26] Berzerker: why not software raid? [00:27] chelz: it's whatever the BIOS raid is [00:27] <^paradox^> blakkheim: i assumed after the 3yrs for 8.04 lts were up ubuntu would upgrade [00:27] Berzerker: regardless of bios or mobo support, you can do software raid [00:27] Berzerker: software raid is all in linux [00:27] chelz: is that link a guide on how to set that up? [00:27] Berzerker: yes [00:27] ok, thanks [00:28] should I put the BIOS back in IDE mode? [00:28] Berzerker: yes [00:28] alright. thanks for the help, I appreciate it [00:28] Berzerker: raid of SSDs will be blisteringly fast [00:28] ActionParsnip: it already is [00:29] Berzerker: even in software raid [00:29] ActionParsnip: but I guess it's not as fast as it could be [00:29] Berzerker: the default motherboard crap may well in fact be slowr then softwareraid [00:29] i'm having issues with my repos... it's failing for package "Translation-en_US" from URIs security.ubuntu.com, ppa.launchpad.net, archive.canonical.com, br.archive.ubuntu.com [00:29] no idea how that should be fixed [00:29] is there a way to chown recursively through a directory? [00:29] Nijverheid: -R switch [00:30] Nijverheid: man chmod for the details [00:30] Nijverheid: add -R as an option [00:30] awesome, cheers [00:31] Hello. [00:31] It seems kinda quiet in here. [00:31] my vnc authentication password box never gets focus - I have to click it to type in it - it's very annoying [00:31] Nijverheid: inside "man chown" pressing the / key will allow you to type a string to search for. you can type "recursive" to find flags like -R [00:32] is there a keylogger detector? [00:32] chelz: oooh, I didn't know that before... cheers :D [00:33] Nijverheid: yeah you type it then hit enter and it'll search. to repeat the same search you can hit / and then enter also. [00:33] hacked_kernel: not really, there is stuff like chkrootkit to check for rootkits and such, but implementing keyloggers does not work the same way it does in windows, and it hasnt been an issue so far [00:33] [00:33] Nijverheid: there's also this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [00:33] urgh... I feel dirty... I just went through the entire of my xampp install chowning everything to me, and chmodding everything to 777 to make it work >_< [00:33] Nijverheid: everyday is a schoolday [00:33] acicula, well what about backdoors that sends info through the network [00:34] Nijverheid: I thought about XAMPP, loved it on Windows [00:34] Nijverheid: but I went with the real deal instead :p [00:34] Dazzled: yeah I know the feeling, but my internet access is dodgy at best, so I like to have the option to continue work even with no internet access :) [00:35] meh, I'll sort out all the xampp permissions tomorrow after I've had some sleep :) night guys, and cheers for all the help :D [00:35] Nijverheid: I just installed Apache and MySQL [00:35] chkrootkit or rkhunter checks for some of those occurences [00:35] Nijverheid: and PHP [00:36] Hi everyone === Robin is now known as Guest32232 === Guest32232 is now known as dixiedancer [00:37] hacked_kernel: in most cases its not an issue (for desktops) since software is installed via trusted channels, ie repositories and security issues are currently rarely exploited. [00:37] is there a reason my newly installed Netbeans 6.8 is not even starting up? the latest version of the software in the Ubuntu Software Center is 6.7... [00:38] ynk: launch it from terminal to see what is output [00:39] ActionParsnip: how interesting! "the program is currently NOT installed." LoL [00:39] well, i can SEE it in the drop-down. [00:39] ynk: then see what is ran with the icon in alacarte === kgs_ is now known as kgs [00:40] except for the bad partition type interface, the mini.iso install was quite painless for a 12mb download [00:40] hcl2: its what i use :) [00:41] hmmm, one final question... if the admin of a server has created a shell script to make a users life easier, and made it available as a command... what is the command I need to find the exact location of this script? [00:41] ynk: the terminal output will help diagnose [00:41] Nijverheid: locate or find [00:41] ActionParsnip: how am i supposed to use "alacarte"? didn't even know that existed until now. [00:41] ActionParsnip: im having problems with banshee [00:42] Nijverheid: which command [00:42] Hi I'm the girl with the Freezing Ubuntu. I got rid of the CD, of Chrome, FF worked so I tried Youtube Jon Stewart Hulu - was good for a while then BANG. So I idd contl-PrtScr REISUB and nothing. Did not roboot.

[00:45] Nijverheid: then you can use locate iirc [00:45] GUESS ILL JUST BUY A MAC === purblebluesilver is now known as purplebluesilver [00:46] ^paradox^, just wait for 10.04 to come out [00:46] ^paradox^: wait until 10.04 comes out next month, then do a reformat and install with the minimal iso [00:46] ^paradox^, you'll be able to update directly to 10.04 [00:46] does anyone have problems of irc connection [00:46] hello ohneell [00:46] bigtom214851: a big mac, based on your letter sizes :P~, supersize it [00:46] Nijverheid: if you put it in /usr/bin then it will be accessible globally [00:46] bigtom214851: if people know they'll answer, if noone answers its cuz they dont know [00:46] Nijverheid: find /usr -name 'scriptname' -type f isn't so bad. [00:46] no sense looking in /lib and /var if you know it's probably not there [00:47] <^paradox^> 8.04 appeared in update manager when i upgraded so 10.04 will do the same?

[00:56] Serraphyn, I believ you can trick hulu into thinking you are from an approved country by going through a proxy or an American VPN. [00:56] Serraphyn: VLC kan receive shoutcast and friends, doesn't that cover TV as well? [00:57] how would a person go about creating a default xorg.conf file without using pastebin.com ? [00:57] how do i get my new video card to work on ubuntu [00:57] bigtom214851, you have to do a few hacks to get the ipod libraries loaded for it to work. Google ipods & ubuntu are there are tons of really simple instructions on how to do it that I found [00:57] Serraphyn: miro [00:57] Hi everyone [00:57] hcl2, see the non-nvidia steps at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [00:57] and vlc === DulcePericulum is now known as mmacaulay [00:57] bigtom214851, you can blame Apple for their freedom hating policies as the reason it can't see the iphone out of the box [00:58] k0d3g3ar: okay what would you recommend trying? [00:58] google [00:58] bigtom214851, google [00:58] bigtom214851, Lucid is reported to have much better iPhone/iPod support - 30 days [00:58] bigtom214851, seriously there are dozens of blogs, step by step instructions, etc. on doing this [00:58] is that not a part of installing X? so wierd === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [00:58] hi, is anyone experiencing freezes on lucid beta 1 netbook edition?

[01:00] azredwing, reask in Lucid channel #ubuntu+1 [01:00] ZykoticK9: thanks [01:01] hcl2: i'd use fstab [01:01] hcl2: if its mounted automatically its because its in fstab? [01:01] hcl2, miro is 'okay' but your not gonna find things like Family Guy and main stream tv on there, least I have not. [01:01] hcl2: misread, yes to mount it must be in fstab [01:01] how do i get ubuntu to work with my new video card [01:01] to automatically [01:01] night98: what card do you have? [01:01] geforce [01:02] night98: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [01:02] night98: can you give the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [01:02] no [01:03] ActionParsnip: Yeah its right here http://bit.ly/dwOyQs [01:03] <^paradox^> kostkon: are my apps, the ones that came with ubuntu (and hopefully the rest), going to begin to further upgrade after 10.04? when a version comes close to the end of its life do the upgrades cease? [01:04] ok i make to the spash screen then it says on the moniitor freq out of rage try resoution [01:04] ^paradox^: every new release software is udpated, but kept as much constant as possible after that, until next release [01:04] ok, now my fstab is gone, vi mistake. Anyway to regenerate it? [01:05] night98: boot to recovery root console and run: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old; dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:05] hcl2: to mount ntfs stuff you can install ntfs-config iirc [01:05] ok [01:05] bastid_raZor: thanks, i have ntfs-3g installed [01:06] ^paradox^: if you need the most recent uses non-lts, if you need stability use lts, if you need bleedin edge use alpha/beta development releases [01:06] but my fstab is completely erased, anyway to generate it? [01:06] hcl2: Yeah its right here http://bit.ly/dwOyQs [01:06] hcl2: you asked for an automatic way. [01:06] <^paradox^> acicula: but it causes me problems if i need to get help with an apps features and im three steps behind everyone i talk to [01:07] bastid_raZor: yes i did, but i have a bigger problem now [01:07] ^paradox^, generally canonical offers only security updates. if you want to keep some of your apps up-to-date then you'll have to use PPAs and or getdeb.net. [01:07] hcl2: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/95272-how-recover-my-fstab.html [01:07] ^paradox^: most people here prefer features over long term stability yeah [01:07] hcl2: it seems Dazzled has found your solution and boldfilter found your pasted fstab [01:08] ^paradox^: what is your support question? [01:08] acicula: i prefer stability personally [01:08] hcl2: sorry.. boldfilter is being a retard [01:08] bastid_raZor: Yeah its right here http://bit.ly/dwOyQs [01:08] okay, so, i can copy and paste from forums, but is there or is there not a script or program to generate a new one? [01:08] it says no such file or dir [01:08] <^paradox^> acicula: well then theres the other problem. if i use a version that keeps my apps update to things brake more often [01:08] boldfilter: don't offer unhelpful advice and spamming that junk is pointless [01:08] ActionParsnip: i'll probably be sticking with lts for a long time too [01:09] wow, who fucked your wife [01:09] ^paradox^: lts is uptodate in terms of patches, not in terms of software revisions [01:09] boldfilter: keep you language in check too. [01:09] boldfilter, This is a PG, family-oriented chat. Please watch your language. [01:09] lol [01:10] !guidelines > boldfilter [01:10] boldfilter, please see my private message [01:10] ^paradox^: there are some "service packs" which update some software i think [01:10] boldfilter: please read that and keep this channel related to ubuntu support only. Thanks [01:10] like 8.04.1 and 8.04.2 / [01:10] jrib: Yeah its right here http://bit.ly/dwOyQs [01:10] ^paradox^: so what is your support question? [01:10] Thanks, jrib [01:11] How do I get desktops with exclusive icons using the Workspace Switcher or other such desktop pager? [01:11] <^paradox^> acicula: ok is going to be possible to stay with lts while using debs to keep my apps updated and still have a working computer? [01:11] vinq1: i dont think nautilus can do that [01:12] ^paradox^: if my updated you mean the latest revision of your favourite software packages then no [01:12] ActionParsnip: is there a replacement I can use? [01:12] anyone have any suggestions for fun things to do with my headless home server? [01:12] <^paradox^> acicula: my question when i came in here was about firefox, but its been answered [01:12] vinq1: not sure, possibly [01:12] any cool server I can make it? [01:12] ^paradox^: lts is about consistency and security, not about features via new software revisions === matt_ is now known as Guest47030 [01:13] ^paradox^: you can update via ppa's but not all ppa's keep lts into account [01:13] duckwars: make it a web server for a cancer foundation + open source software project or other good cause [01:13] duckwars: possibly ask in #ubuntu-server ? [01:13] it says no such file or dir [01:13] !who | night98 [01:13] night98: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:13] duckwars: torrent / samba / backup is what one of mine does, could have a vlc or mnpd server you can remotely control via http / ssh to play music [01:14] vinq1: As arsenio hall used to say "can you expand on that" maybe a link? [01:14] <^paradox^> acicula: i guess im trying to avoid a CD install. i just dont wanna go to the trouble [01:14] !tab [01:14] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:14] ^paradox^: you can upgrade form lts to lts afaik [01:14] *from [01:15] well, right now I have ssh and rtorrent going, and back stuff up. That was the whole goal of it. Now I wanna possibly do something fun. Possibly something that will someone work with my iPhone [01:15] duckwars: Well, currently I'm doing pro-bono work to get a small cancer foundation's website up. They have space already for hosting. But, it gave me the idea for you for your server, for another good cause. [01:15] <^paradox^> acicula: yes i know, but its still lts [01:15] duckwars: i have a server which runs vlc and lets me control music playback from my g1 phone, depends what functionality you need [01:15] i can not connect to irc from ubuntu 9.10 [01:15] ^paradox^: yeah, err so? [01:15] but i can from ubuntu 8.04 [01:16] Klett: can you get the web? [01:16] yes [01:16] Klett: go to command line and type "iptables -F" and then try? [01:16] i don't know what changed [01:16] <^paradox^> acicula: i was reading and i could go from 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 which sounds like loads of fun [01:16] vinq1: I see, maybe I will look into some other friends' organizations, I am in college and am also a hippie so I know some people who could probalby use it [01:16] well i didnt find anything that helped but i dont care...ill figure it out eventually [01:16] thanks fro all the suggestions, its nice to know people care [01:16] goodnight [01:16] ^paradox^: no, you can uprade from an lts version to an lts version ussually [01:16] Quick question, what's a lightweight image editor I should use in lucid? [01:16] iptables -F [01:16] anyone here with some httpd server experience? [01:16] ^paradox^: but for non-lts you have to go from revision to revision yes [01:16] is that diagnostic or solution [01:17] duckwars: So you're a hippie, eh? I didn't know those still existed. [01:17] i will now i am on ubuntu 8.04 [01:17] that's why i am chatting [01:17] :) [01:17] vinq1: not a real hippie, I just kind of an environmentalist [01:17] <^paradox^> acicula: exactly and i can only imagine the errors id have to correct through that fiasco [01:17] <__maroc__H> trying to connect the ubuntu servers [01:18] ^paradox^: you are complaining apriori on suspected upgrade errors? [01:18] it tells me something about proxy etc [01:18] but never had a proxy [01:18] <__maroc__H> salut [01:18] Klett: I meant from a command prompt window. Type "sudo iptables -F" to clear any firewall settings and see if that's blocking you. Then, if not, reboot to restore your firewall settings the way they were. [01:18] <^paradox^> acicula: lets call it a safe assumption. i mean no disrespect [01:18] i will that [01:18] ^paradox^: the aim is to allow seamless upgrade from lts to lts, i am sure the release team will focus on that bit [01:19] <__maroc__H> demand de l'aide [01:19] Any idea what I could use as a lightweight image editor in lucid ubuntu? GIMP is too heavy for what I need it for. [01:19] ^paradox^: im not part of ubuntu in anyway aside from trolling/supportin #ubuntu, so none taken [01:19] !lucid | mccolgan [01:19] mccolgan: 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 [01:19] Is there an addon for Nautilus that lets me switch desktops and get exclusive icons and windows on each? Jeesh -- it seems like someone would have figured that out by now. [01:20] <^paradox^> acicula: im sure it will too, i was referring to the revision to revision nightmare [01:20] ok, so I upgraded to 9.10, and it seems my boot drive UUID changed, so it wouldn't boot.. I haven't been able to get it to work with the new UUID.. [01:20] so check it. [01:20] ^paradox^: its like complaining you cant update to windows 7 from windows 95 [01:20] what is a good tool for searching files [01:20] yeryry: Grub error 17? [01:20] the search facility in ubutnu is so and so [01:21] Tilda vs. Yakuake? I'm trying to figure out which one I want to use, anybody have any recommendations? [01:21] ubuntu [01:21] Klett: find is my favourite [01:21] jsec: tilda uses gtk, yakuake uses qt [01:21] does ubuntu netbook remix run well on non-atom x86 procs [01:21] i should study linux seriously [01:21] takes will [01:21] jsec: so if you are using gnome use tilda or guake, if you are using kde then use yakuake [01:21] because I was thinking, what if I installed that into a wicked powerful computer [01:21] Dazzled: I don't remember seeing that.. [01:22] would it be better to install netbook remix or xubuntu [01:22] torchie: ubuntu netmix is just like ubuntu with a few special packages [01:22] <^paradox^> acicula: i understand that and despite being in irc alot i love the operating system. its been much better to me than windows. but its often very complex [01:22] linux is better than windows [01:22] torchie xubuntu will bne more responsive, if you like the remix ui then install it [01:22] How do I change my keyboard layout? [01:22] not perfect but better [01:22] Klett: in someways, imn others not so much [01:22] Klett: thats offtopic [01:22] no lies, I do like it [01:22] :P [01:22] http://beta.heroesofnewerth.com Heroes of Newerth - Open Beta's beginning (no beta invite key required anymore) [01:23] can you change the font? [01:23] ActionParsnip: I flip between both desktops (gnome desktop, kde laptop). But if that's the case can I safely assume that as yakuake is a KDE app, it's not supported nor talked about here? [01:23] torchie: install it then dude [01:23] jsec: its supported here, some folks like to keep kde off their systems so will prefer gtk apps [01:24] jsec: if you have some kde apps installed then you can use any [01:24] ActionParsnip: OK. I was just trying to get an idea from people as to usability of the two, as I assume Guake is close enough to a gnome port of yakuake [01:25] Anyone on here messed with PlayOnLinux, Steam specifically? [01:25] <^paradox^> acicula: whats a reasonable expectation of whats going to happen if i stay with lts and upgrade my apps deb packages and ppas if needed? [01:25] jsec: pretty much, tilda is leaner though but there isnt much between them, i'd say try and see which you like [01:25] jsec: you can mix and match both environments, and install them side by side, just select the environment you want when logging in via gdm or kdm, but you can use gnome/kde progs interchangeably [01:25] Hi can anyone help me with Conky? [01:25] Or rather any method of getting Steam working on Ubuntu that seems to...well...work [01:25] <^paradox^> with* [01:25] RyanD: install wine [01:25] there are no intelligent questions [01:26] everything si sdoable [01:26] is [01:26] Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu to my UMPC, but the default video mode results in unreadable gibberish. I looked up how to change res (sudo nano etc/X11/xorg.conf), but there IS no xorg.conf to edit. [01:26] still we have managed to have computers not state supported [01:26] ^paradox^: well ppa's and lts is probably not a great recipy, just try updating to lts and see what ppas need renabling afterwards? [01:26] Klett: not everything [01:26] Acicula ActionParsnip: thanks for the insight guys. I'll start off with Tilda and go from there [01:27] Charon_, to create an xorg see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [01:27] my prob is infinite source of money [01:27] Hi can anyone help me with Conky?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:28] My problem with conky is that it shows on startup, but then disapears, once my wallpaper comes. [01:29] "mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/... on /root failed: No such device" but if I use ls, it is there.. [01:29] tm0: if you rerun it, does it stay? [01:29] Yes, but i can't close the terminal :/ [01:30] <^paradox^> acicula: that sounds like a pretty good plan. perhaps in the future therell be a distro where apps can be added by getting the deb or other clickable file then removing them with add/remove and i mean pretty much everything. does that sound like a farfetched fantasy? :-/ [01:30] tm0: lauch it from an alt+f2 dialogue [01:30] Klett: lemme help you with your 'prob' by unburdening you from 1billion US $, then [01:30] ActionParsnip , how then would i make it stay on startup? (I added conky to the started menu) [01:30] yeryry: what's the putput of 'blkid' [01:31] http://tweetbaggery.com/2010/03/23/funny-celeb-tweets-that-leads-to-in-my-mind/ [01:31] ahh [01:31] ^paradox^: you can install deb's manually [01:31] its the wrong drive.. the swap drive [01:31] tm0: you may need a small script to make conky wait a while then launch [01:31] tm0, in your rc file your using see if you have "own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager" [01:31] yeryry: swap partition, not drive [01:32] yep, sorry [01:32] ^paradox^: newer software needs newer libraries though, which is what causes the dependency woes, hence a 6 month update cycle rather then constant dependency nightmare hell [01:32] sda5.. the only thing blkid shows (in the little shell) [01:33] Zykotick9 it is. Actionparsnip, would this be made as a shell file? [01:33] <^paradox^> acicula: i guess i have a lot to learn [01:33] hello, the sound-monitor applet disappeared from the gnome-panel. How can I get it back? [01:33] tm0, is it EXACTLY like that? [01:33] tm0: a bash script, yes [01:33] so perhaps the UUID didn't change after all, and its just not seeing it now? [01:33] tm0: make a script to run: sleep 20; conky & [01:34] how can I restart the sound system? alsa-utils restart and hal restart did not get the sound-monitor applet back...

[01:34] sunshinepants: they are tasty [01:34] ActionParsnip: whoa [01:34] ?# [01:35] Awesome, xorg.conf not exists [01:36] thanks a lot [01:36] *now [01:36] <^paradox^> well im out for now. thanks everyone [01:37] For some reason, Karmic is actively trying to kill my HD. As soon as I switch to battery, it cycles my HD on/off every *second*. I have to manually use hdparm -B 255 to stop it every single time I switch to battery, which is getting annoying [01:37] wow thats gay [01:38] jmspeex, I was suspecting that but how did you prove it? [01:38] Otherwise, smartctl shows Load_Cycle_Count increasing by one every second (and I hear about one click per second) [01:38] MrKeuner: What do you mean "how do I *prove* it"? [01:39] can someone give me ideas for enabling security on my desktop ? [01:39] jmspeex, how did you decide that it was HD turning off and on rather than something else that may do the click sound [01:39] MrKeuner: smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count === sexghost_ is now known as sexghost [01:40] Also the fact that "hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda" makes it stop [01:41] can someone give me ideas for enabling security on my desktop ? [01:41] Dazzled: So, any idea why blkid isn't showing the other partitions? Or should it be? [01:41] jmspeex, what if you do hdparm -y /dev/sda? does it spin down and stay spun down? [01:41] yeryry: not really, wat does 'cat /etc/fstab' show? [01:43] ravibn: what kind of security? [01:43] hi [01:43] can i get some help here please? === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [01:43] !ask [01:43] 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. :-) [01:44] ok [01:44] what command do i use to check the cpu process percentage? [01:44] Dazzled: I updated the fstab with the new UUID.. or what I thought was the new UUID, but might actually be the wrong one.. [01:44] in linux, unix [01:44] psusi: I didn't spin down for more than a few seconds. But it *did* spin down. OTOH, what I normally hear when switching to battery is the click (assuming it's just packing the heads), but *without* the actual spin down [01:44] using sh shell [01:45] learn_unix, top ? [01:45] yeryry: I just loaded GParted [01:45] yeryry: and then rightclick the swap and then select 'Info' [01:45] jmspeex, sounds like you are running something that keeps touching the disk, and have a drive with buggy power saving mode that tries to spin down far too fast.. what does cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode say? [01:45] yeryry: it should show the UUID [01:46] yes but i want the total CPU process percent [01:46] jmspeex: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695 [01:46] Anyone know how to configure Exim4 so it works with PHP to send emails to a remote SMTP server? [01:46] not in many lines [01:46] I've gone through the documentation and I'm not having any luck. [01:46] psusi: now says "0", but I already did a "-B 255" [01:47] psusi: Apparently the *previous* HD I had also had this "bug". I'd start calling it a feature. [01:47] there is no command that can give me that in one value?? [01:48] jmspeex, ohh, it should be non zero to have the kernel try to not touch the disk for as long as it can [01:48] <__maroc__H> hi [01:48] learn_unix: there's a applet you can add to the panel [01:48] learn_unix: there's an applet you can add to the panel [01:48] learn_unix - does "uptime" give you something closer to what you're looking for?

[01:54] __maroc__H: ##c is a channel for help with C. type: /join ##c [01:54] jmspeex: there's probably a script somewhere that runs when the powerstate changes [01:54] hey guys- is it possible pipe network traffic on a specific port (on any interface) through a script? [01:54] ICM: netcat [01:54] jmspeex, try looking in /etc/laptop_mode/ should be somewhere in there where you can turn that off [01:54] jmspeex: http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/faq [01:54] nn [01:55] chelz: That's what I assume, but which one. I find it annoying that not only is Ubuntu not attempting to help, it's actively hurting [01:55] jmspeex: my disk clunks pretty often too when on battery, laptop mode helps some [01:55] chelz, netcat will do that for me? [01:55] <__maroc__H> they told me ipossible to joint ##c [01:55] well thanks for your help anw guys, that was nice :) [01:55] <__maroc__H> what can I do ? [01:55] Well, laptop mode itself is useless for me because even when on, it can't spin the disk down for more than 5-10 seconds. (Probably because I have a lot of stuff running) [01:56] jmspeex: a distro is not going to be able to instantly know every use scenario it might encounter. it's a work in progress. if you feel strongly about it, once you resolve this you can make sure it's a known bug. [01:56] __maroc__H: who told you? Just type exactly: /join ##c [01:56] Gosh, I thought that there would be more "ready to go" solutions that I have found to use web server for other purposes than just those usual webpages [01:56] <|sz|SheerCold> Hi I'm having problems booting my Karmic Koala distro installed via wubi. [01:56] <|sz|SheerCold> It says kernel panic on boot. [01:56] <|sz|SheerCold> And some other text [01:56] ICM: it might do what you want, man netcat [01:56] !register > __maroc__H [01:56] __maroc__H, please see my private message [01:56] chelz: Well, it appears from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695 that it's already far too well known [01:57] jmspeex, what if you do -B 128 instead of 254? [01:57] <|sz|SheerCold> Can anyone help me possibly? [01:57] jmspeex: if that's your bug then the workarounds should work. do the workarounds work for you? [01:57] <__maroc__H> ubott [01:57] <|sz|SheerCold> Aww :( [01:57] psusi: Just tried it -- still the power cycles every second [01:58] |sz|SheerCold: wait for a while. don't be impatient. [01:58] jmspeex, looks like you want to edit /etc/laptop_mode/laptop_mode.conf and change BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=1 [01:58] <|sz|SheerCold> chelz: excuse my impatience. [01:58] __maroc__H, if you can't join ##c (i was able too), it's cause your not using a registered nic - thus be sending you the !register bot message [01:58] ZykoticK9: ##c doesn't require registration [01:58] chelz: The work around of doing a "hdparm -B 255" works -- except that Ubuntu sets it back to 1 (or whatever it is) every time I unplug the AC adaptor. That's why I say it's actively doing harm [01:58] jrib, ok - i was just guessing as i had no problem joining. sorry __maroc__H [01:59] psusi: I don't have a /etc/laptop_mode actually [01:59] |sz|SheerCold: this might help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Troubleshooting [01:59] does anybody know about pureData? [01:59] jrib, is there some way to tell when you join a channel if it requires registration or not? [01:59] jmspeex: sounds like whatever is setting it to 1 could be used to set it to 255 [01:59] ZykoticK9: it will have mode +r [02:00] jrib, thanks [02:00] ZykoticK9: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [02:00] chelz: Sure, but what is it? And *why* is it doing that in the first place? [02:01] jrib, "when all else fails, read the instructions" ;) sorry - i'm guilty of not reading the instructions often [02:01] jmspeex: power saving [02:01] jmspeex: reading over this might help, it's the bug linked to at the top of that wiki page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [02:01] where tomcat6 settings are defined ? [02:01] ZykoticK9: no problem, it's not obvious that you should look at that link :) [02:01] jmspeex: that bug seems to be set to 'fix released' [02:02] chelz: "fix released" for what version. It definitely isn't fixed on Karmic [02:02] jmspeex: that leads me to believe it's not what you're experiencing [02:04] chelz: Actually, I just saw that my laptop mode config file sets "1" for the HD power management when on battery. Doesn't look very intelligent as far as I'm concerned [02:04] I was running bleachbit when my system crashed. Now when I start up my system, it gives me an error "Mount of root file system failed". I have full disk encryption on it. Could anyone help? [02:04] jmspeex: check if there's a bug filed for it [02:05] chelz: Well, you just pointed to the bug [02:05] I need a shell I can SSH into so I can IRC at work via PuTTy (protocol is blocked) [02:05] Besides, I stopped filing bugs in Launchpad a few years ago [02:05] Suggestions? [02:06] jmspeex: make sure that bug actually applies to you before reopening it. it is marked fixed afterall [02:06] jmspeex: Whys that? [02:06] jmspeex: can't help ya then [02:06] nathanhelp: Because nothing I ever files got fixed [02:06] oh. [02:06] Hmm...gparted shows no UUID for that partition! [02:06] chelz: Well, at least you helped in pointing me to the right config file [02:06] jmspeex: it's more than filing, you have to keep up with the bug and help maintainers fix it [02:06] don't be lazy [02:07] Your choice then. [02:07] That's already more useful than launchpad! [02:07] jmspeex: its a factor of power saving and disk depenent, also done to keep the disk temperature down iirc [02:07] jmspeex: not all disks are affected, and you can toggle the power saving in laptop mode [02:08] I need help with something simple (I hope!) how do I change the default download/save to directory? I want to save to different HD not the desktop. [02:09] jmspeex: note that a typical value for a laptop disks for that is around 300k cycles [02:09] nathanhelp: You can see the bugs I filed (under jmspeex) and what happened to them. [02:09] nathanhelp: edit preferences [02:10] acicula: When your disk cycles every *second*, you know something's not normal. It's actually the rattle I find most annoying [02:10] nathanhelp: in firefox [02:10] great [02:11] jmspeex: did you try disabling hd power saving in the laptop mode config? [02:11] nathanhelp: FYI, as a FOSS developer myself (see Speex, CELT), I'm selective about projects for which I bother reporting bugs. gcc and a few other projects always gets my bug reports. Ubuntu no longer does. [02:12] acicula: that's what I just tried. I'll see when I plug it bac in and unplug again [02:13] thanks histo. That was it. :) [02:13] wrong chan :) btw, does any INF files or firmware exist on the ubuntu karmic 700 min cd? to be used With broadcom and ndiswrapper [02:14] Probably the most "interesting" report I filed was 52600 against Dapper. Any local user can hang the machine (SCHED_FIFO, while(1)) and the 2-liner fix has never been applies [02:14] utggbjj: I believe the broadcomm cards work withthe cd so yes. === soreau_ is now known as soreau [02:14] jmspeex: i think ubuntu does not submit patches upstream [02:14] jmspeex: probably why? [02:15] hmm.... tune2fs shows the UUID correctly, but gparted and blkid show nothing.. [02:15] jmspeex: the bug is still present in current versions? [02:15] histo: No, but as far as I know, it's still in Dapper [02:16] jmspeex: well isn't support for dapper dropped already? [02:16] Is it worthwhile installing Ubuntu on Flashdrive or should I just stick with a standard install? [02:16] nathanhelp: what do you mean by worthwhile? [02:16] histo: Maybe it was just dropped. But the bug was filed in 2006! === jra is now known as Guest78777 [02:16] jmspeex: was dapper lts? [02:16] did I post something? can't believe it but Im on My iPhone with à webchat, erh. [02:16] histo: yes [02:16] jmspeex: well 18 months so it would have been done in 07 [02:17] histo, believe it or not - Dapper is still supported on server [02:17] Oh, there's actually one bug that I got fixed. It was for Speex itself and it took me one full year to push the 2-line patch (that I wrote as maintainer) down the package maintainers' throats [02:18] histo: what's 18 months? [02:18] Does Ubuntu work well on SSD's? [02:18] jmspeex: lts support back then I thought [02:18] jmspeex: nvm [02:18] jmspeex: i'm wrong on that. [02:18] prayii: yes [02:18] jmspeex, normal users can't set real time process priority [02:19] histo: lts is supposed to be 3 years (5 on servers) AFAICT [02:19] prayii, works better than well, it's friggin awesome ;) [02:19] psusi: On Dapper, you could (and probably still can). I tested it myself. It's due to faulty rlimits config [02:20] jmspeex: yeah I was wrong. [02:20] psusi: I'm looking at getting a new laptop. Upgrading to a SSD worth it? Do they have a shorter lifespan than a regular HDD? [02:20] yes, it would be worth it for booting. [02:20] prayii, not supposed to if you have a decent one [02:20] prayii, I got one last week for my desktop... boot up in 10 seconds now [02:21] (Haha. I love how Ubuntu works. It just does. My computer HD on Windows (various versions) have crashed and can't handle the running, whereas Ubuntu works fine. I reckon Ubuntu would work on a shellshock HD dipped in water after acid been poured on it!) [02:21] i turn my laptop on and off a lot, so the boot performance would be awesome [02:21] psusi: The /etc/security/limits.conf file allows you to control who can set RT priority. On dapper, it was configured to allow all users to do so. As I said, the fix was two lines but was never applied for some reason [02:21] ZTG|Taekwondo: hi [02:21] other applications could you leave on a sata 2 drive. so everything you will run applications faster, you do it from the SSD drive. since it don't have lots of storage. [02:22] prayii: There are a few tweaks for SSD's you can apply to minimize write, and you shouldn't be concerned in general about wear [02:23] oops, some typos there. sorry [02:23] I don't keep much on my laptop. Small size doesn't bother me. [02:23] I'm having some trouble installing G++ on ubuntu 9.10 server, [02:23] prayii: then you have a nice solution. [02:23] wash: state your problem [02:23] g++: Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed [02:24] Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed [02:24] Depends: gcc-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed [02:24] don't flood the channel please, i understand. [02:24] i'll check from my servers. [02:24] Running ubuntu 9.10 server edition, with a LAMP package installed and openbox. Oh, sorry [02:24] Any one know a good app to diagnose/fix bad sectors on a hd outside of fsck which is not doing the trick? [02:24] hey guys, I tried to install oidentd from repo but its not there so I complied it from source, how do I start it [02:24] oopsfire: badblocks [02:24] ? [02:25] oopsfire: fsck doesnt fix bad sectors. it just fixes filesystem issues. [02:25] It doesn't say in man [02:25] oopsfire: if the disk is bad best to backup [02:25] Raptors: i think you ned to ask the orientd people that. if its not in the repos, we're unlikely to know how it works [02:25] Good evening persons! [02:25] guys, I am unable to back up or even mount that partition on the disk [02:25] XD [02:25] oopsfire: partition table broken? [02:25] oopsfire: you sound screwed [02:25] I've heard that the ATI cards don't work quite as well as the nVidias because of the drivers. Is that just really for gaming? Can the ATI drivers handle 3D desktop effects no problem? [02:25] oidentd is in the repos [02:26] maco, it use to be in repo... [02:26] at kimocoder: I think I may have just screwed something up, I'm just not particularly adept with aptitude/dpkg. [02:26] oopsfire: software cannot fix a hardware issue [02:26] opsfire I agree with maco -- save your data and replace the drive ASAP. [02:26] I have 2 partitions on the disk,, one with win on it,, which mounts fine,, but the ubuntu partition does not mount [02:26] ZTG, good evening person [02:26] oopsfire: what does fsck say? [02:26] wash: have you checked the package dependencies? [02:26] ^_^ [02:26] itializing package states... Done [02:26] No candidate version found for oidentd [02:26] No candidate version found for oidentd [02:26] Raptors: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:26] prayii, as an example - currently the ATI driver doesn' even work in Lucid, but Nvidia works fine [02:26] I get as million Error reading block 1051 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error? [02:26] I fell on my back. [02:26] errors [02:26] kimocoder: not sure how to. [02:26] wash: try fix them from aptitude .. [02:26] ;_; [02:26] ok [02:26] maco: oidentd (source: oidentd): replacement ident daemon. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.0.8-1.2 (karmic), package size 50 kB, installed size 204 kB [02:26] ZykoticK9: Will the ATI driver be working before release? [02:27] I can navigate aptitude pretty well, i've just never had to deal with dependency problems before, [02:27] prayii, that's up to ATI [02:27] wash: i will give you a solution in 1 min [02:27] ZykoticK9: thats bad news. lol [02:27] This is a big channel... [02:27] IdleOne: wow i fail at reading [02:27] at kimocoder; thanks [02:27] prayii, there are the opensource ATI drivers of course [02:27] I believe it is a logical issue,, not physical. Since I can still access the windows partition on the same disk [02:27] wash waht if you enter "sudo apt-get install gcc"? Does it fix the dependency issue for g++? [02:27] maco: was there and you missed it huh :) [02:27] oopsfire: thats not an indication the disk is still ood [02:27] *good [02:27] IdleOne: i read it as "orientd" [02:28] lol [02:28] I get: Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed [02:28] Depends: gcc-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed [02:28] oopsfire: try badblocks. also try smartctl to check drive diagnostics [02:28] This is confusing. [02:28] thank you everyone! lots of good information here. [02:28] How far away is 10.04? [02:28] acicula, Right, I'd like to be able to mount the partition, so I can back it up if possible,, then replace the hd [02:28] oopsfire: fsck has a badblocks option and autofix and such, you could try to et it to sort the issues with that [02:28] nathanhelp, 30 days from today :) [02:28] Hi, I have a ubuntu box that has full access to the LAN no WAN connection and is set to be in DMZ. Could I have a problem with my routes? [02:28] oh. [02:28] ZTG: you get used to it, think of it as the code in the matrix after a while all you see is red,brown,yellow,car... [02:28] nathanhelp a few weeks from now [02:29] XD [02:29] maco, ok, I'll try badblocks, I've gone the smartctl route [02:29] wash: don't paste flood. i understand your problem. [02:29] "lol" then. I just DLed 9.10. will it updgrade well from there or will I have to reDL? [02:29] oopsfire: as a recovery method, using dd to dump it contents works in absense of a working filesystem [02:29] What was the +j? [02:29] oopsfire: cooling the disks can also help with datarecovery [02:29] wash: terminal > wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.4.3/gcc-4.4.3.tar.gz | tar -zxvf gcc-4.4.3.tar.gz [02:29] oopsfire: carefull that you select test only, bb also has an intensive surface test option that erases data === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:30] Okay, here i go again. I'm having issues getting samba up and going on my 9.10 install. [02:30] I accidentaly cleared my smb.conf file. So I uninstalled all of samba from Synaptic Package Mgr. Then did the sudo apt-get install samba. Only problem is it did not re-create the smb.conf file. Any suggestions? [02:30] ZTG: freenode.net has a list of all the modes and definitions [02:30] Oh. [02:30] oopsfire it's gererally abad sign wehn a significant number of blocks become bad. Internal drive logic can mark bad ones as such, but I'd backup my data though. [02:30] Well, can you tell me, I am feeling lazy? XD [02:30] IdleOne: Well, can you tell me, I am feeling lazy? XD [02:30] ZykoticK9 & Aquina: will 9.10 upgrade well from 9.10 or will I need to reDL? [02:30] ZTG, http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [02:30] ZTG: thats not exactly the purpose of this channel [02:30] acicula, Lolgrr.. I even put the hd in the fridge for a few minutes as I've heard that, and have knocked it around a bit heh. I was able to get the pc to boot in to ubuntu once,, and it locked up and I haven't been ale to get in since [02:30] Ikay. [02:30] ZTG: it's throttling the number of users that can join the channel in one second. !ot [02:31] wash: then you may need this..: wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.4.3/gcc-g++-4.4.3.tar.gz | tar -zxvf gcc-g++-4.4.3.tar.gz | cd gcc-gc++-4.4.3 | sh ./configure | make | make install [02:31] ZTG: yeah, umm I can go and read it and tell you but then you won't learn anything :-) [02:31] nathanhelp, ? [02:31] oopsfire: freezer > fridge [02:31] * sorry I meant from 9 -> 10. [02:31] So just build it myself, basically, without using apt? [02:31] sigh & stuff [02:31] oopsfire: dont boot the disk, use a livecd, do a quick check and go straight to dumping your data [02:31] nathanhelp, i'm not personally a fan of upgrading, but hopefully there will be fewer issues then the 9.04 -> 9.10 [02:31] oopsfire: id start with windows [02:32] acicula, right [02:32] wash: exactly. [02:32] I'm using ubuntu live disk now [02:32] You can perform an upgrade but I advise you to folow the upgrade recommendations. For productive systems I'd run upgrade on a testmachine before. [02:32] how can i find out where the packages put their files... for example equery f ogre would show me the location that it installed every file in the package in gentoo... is there something similar in ubuntu? [02:32] And it will not mount the ubuntu partition [02:32] oopsfire: i mean with dumping the win partition since that works [02:32] But it mounts the win partition just fine [02:32] oopsfire: try dumping the partition with dd [02:32] MetaPhaze: man dpkg [02:32] !datarecovery [02:32] ZykoticK9: How do you mean not a fan of upgrading? Do you wipe clean and start over as opposed to upgrading? [02:32] !recover [02:32] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [02:33] How can I check my connection speed to my router? [02:33] nathanhelp: i do that [02:33] ubuntu still uses dpkg, ok [02:33] nathanhelp, i do yes [02:33] !undelete | oopsfire [02:33] oopsfire: please see above [02:33] wash you can build g++ yourself with "sudo apt-get install -b ". This may require you to install "apt-build". [02:33] psusi: Just tried and even editing the laptop-mode config file didn't help [02:33] I just got a shiny new gigabit router with wireless N. I'd like to check both speeds. [02:33] Neezer: you should have choosen WRT54GL or somelike ;) [02:33] Nevertheless I think your system is broken, wash. g++ and gcc install without problems on a newly installed ubuntu system. [02:33] acicula, You wouldn't happen to have a link that explains it a bit in detail? [02:34] Neezer: speedtest.net perhaps [02:34] dumpi ng it with dd [02:34] etc [02:34] kimocoder, I'm not really sure what you mean.... [02:34] Neezer: not really an ubuntu related question [02:34] oopsfire: see the datarecovery link it details doing it with dd [02:34] MetaPhaze: dpkg -S [02:34] Will 9.10 ISO work from flash drive? I want to eventually end up with Ubuntu working FROM my flash drive. [02:34] aah, misunderstood that one :) [02:34] OK, apparently *disabling* laptop mode completely worked [02:34] IdleOne, I know, but i'm running ubuntu. [02:34] basically you tell dd to copy from the partition /dev/sda1 and to a file not on your disk and to ignore errors [02:35] Neezer: Download a large file from one pc to the other and time it. Or turn on ftp server on one and download via ftp [02:35] MetaPhaze: basically read the manpages for dpkg and apt-cache [02:35] Aquina: there seems to be a bug along the gcc/compiler pack in Ubuntu 9.10. experienced that on all my 9.10 servers [02:35] ok thanks acicula maco [02:35] Any body have any experience with re-creating a smb.conf file? [02:35] I'll give it a shot [02:35] thanks terry_ [02:35] Neezer: smallnetbuilder might have some benchmarking methods [02:35] Neezer: You can also install apache web server on one and download files via firefox . [02:35] hooge1kanobi: the default config file? just apt-get install --reinstall samba [02:36] hooge1kanobi: may have to remove the smb.conf file first [02:36] !pendrive [02:36] Okay [02:36] !usb | nathanhelp [02:36] nathanhelp: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:36] oh. that explains alot, kimocoder. I was wondering an ordinary g++ installation xould cause so much trouble. Has a bug report already been filed on launchpad? [02:36] thanks guys....another quick question....I've rebooted my server via command line from ssh....how can I just shut it completely down? [02:36] thanks acicula [02:37] what do you mean by "re-creating"? [02:37] Neezer: shutdown -h now "MESSAGE" [02:37] Neezer, "sudo shutdown -h now" [02:37] I changed the "workgroup" and hit save. [02:37] Neezer: halt [02:37] jmspeex, did you refresh the daemon? [02:37] later went back and the file was blank [02:37] Neezer: sudo poweroff [02:37] Neezer try «sudo shutdown -h "now"» [02:37] thanks all! kimocoder, ZykoticK9, chelz [02:38] Neezer: "man poweroff" is good [02:39] Neezer, i like the variety of answers you got for a simple question :) always more then 1 way to do thing in unix/linux [02:39] :-) [02:39] Yeah I totally forgot about poweroff. But I wrote a nice chack and shutdown/reboot-script. Wanna see? [02:40] hi, where can i find the partitions list that gets mounted when i start ubuntu? its not in /etc/fstab... [02:40] hi! I'm looking for some help with the liveCD, i just built a new box and the liveCD isn't getting anywhere [02:40] i was hoping someone could help me debug? [02:41] jeeez look in /etc/mtab [02:41] natesbrain: is the livecd hanging? [02:41] USB installation : the way I want to do it is a bit different. Will this way work? -> I am booting off a Live 7.10 CD. I have saved my 9.10 ISO to my HD (which will not boot). I want to PUT the 9.10 ISO onto my flash drive (or run it from here), run the LIVE 9.10 ISO, create a working persistant 9.10 ON my flash drive. [02:41] yes [02:41] What do you men by "anywhere"? Can you be a bit more specific? [02:41] it starts out ok, with the glowing logo [02:41] natesbrain: at what point does it hang? what can you do before it hangs? [02:41] and then goes black, and unresponsive [02:42] i can hit f1 and see that it can't find /dev/sr0 [02:42] nathanhelp: have you checked the md5sum of the 9.10 iso? [02:42] natesbrain: sounds like a resolution problem after it boots into the UI [02:42] Aquina: okay, i see it now! if i moved it to fstab, will other window managers load it automatically when logging in? [02:42] chelz: how do I do that? and why would I? [02:42] nathanhelp: why are you unable to boot to that iso? [02:43] i read a post about maybe ati drivers being the problem? [02:43] I have a Radeon HD 5450 [02:43] In case you move it correctly to fstab (obey syntax) it will be mounted averytime. [02:43] chelz: I haven't tried yet. But the methods described in the USB boot help files are different. Would it work if I boot from that ISO from the flash drive or is there another step I have to do? [02:43] hello, i try to boot with karmic cd on HP envy 15 laptop, i get : Fail in evaluating the _REG object of EC device, Broken BIOS is Suspected.. , i went to hp website to check for bios updates, found nothing there. plz advice ! i cant install/run ubuntu :S [02:43] what is the latest stable build? 10.04 ? [02:43] libv4lconvert: warning more framesizes then I can handle! << I get this when trying to open cheese. It loads, but will not show any data. Webcam works in skype [02:43] martianlobster: 9.10 [02:44] acicula: thanks [02:44] Hi, I've got a netbook: XP, and I'm putting on UNR [02:44] Okay, why is there no /boot/grub/menu.lst on this new Ubuntu/Windows box? [02:44] martianlobster: 9.10. 10.04 is (hopefully) going stable at the end of next month. [02:44] Any suggestions on how big I might want the UNR partition? [02:44] rww thanks [02:44] wad: grub2 dosent use menu.lst [02:44] I was thinking ~25GB? [02:44] nathanhelp: you can install 9.10 to your flashdrive right from your current ubuntu install [02:44] !grub2 | wad because of grub2, look here [02:44] wad because of grub2, look here: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:44] !grub2 [02:44] natesbrain, I thought my cd was broken too, but it was just sleeping some time after inserting, haveyou triedto wait a while? [02:44] Thanks, guys! [02:44] Guest70684: that should be fine. The system recommendations say at least 8GB. [02:44] Guest70684: thats more then enough for ubuntu [02:45] * rww personally uses 10GB [02:45] yeah, off and on over the last two days [02:45] 10GB eh? [02:45] Guest70684: What is UNR? [02:45] so now it's like lilo? [02:45] chelz: how do I go about doing that from the 7.10 Live that I'm working in? What does the 9.10 USB creater do? [02:45] terry_: Netbook remix [02:45] hcl2: no, lilo is very different :P [02:45] if I can get it drop to the command line again, is there something I can do from there? [02:45] I'm very comfortable with command line operations [02:45] Well I have a 160GB HDD in this, so.. 12GB for XP, whatever for linux, then a shared common partition [02:45] hello, i try to boot with karmic cd on HP envy 15 laptop, i get : Fail in evaluating the _REG object of EC device, Broken BIOS is Suspected.. , i went to hp website to check for bios updates, found nothing there. plz advice ! i cant install/run ubuntu :S [02:46] but if I understand LiveCDs correctly, that's not a full system [02:46] hcl2, lilo is to grub what dos is to linux ;) [02:46] I'd also like a purely terminal based distro for when I only want ssh and stuff :p Ideas? [02:47] Guest70684: theres the ubuntu server editiion. [02:47] but, the one benefit of grub over lilo is that you didn't have to run any command after editing the file menu.lst [02:47] Guest70684: linuxfromscratch [02:47] Guest70684: gentoo [02:47] actually ubuntus-server is probably easier [02:47] but still bloated [02:47] hcl2: that was one little benifit.. but grub2 has so many more features then grub [02:47] I did think lfs, but I should be doing coursework now, not playing with lfs :/ Summer maybe [02:47] nullkuhl, try booting with the noacpi option? [02:47] blakkheim: bloated? [02:47] blakkheim: That's the point, I want something very lightweight :) [02:47] nathanhelp: are you able to boot to 9.10 somehow? [02:47] Fast booting [02:47] Guest70684: exactly, so avoid ubuntu [02:48] psusi: where would i type that [02:48] Guest70684: probably ubuntu server but also debian could work [02:48] what's the % for 12-hour time in xchat? [02:48] hcl2, another one is that if your config is messed up you still get a grub command prompt you can use to do some probing and manually tell it how to boot [02:48] Guest70684: install Ubuntu as cli-only install, no extra services or anything, just minimal system [02:48] chelz: :D that's what I want to do! [02:48] Dr_Willis: features schmeatures... I only interact with grub about once a month, mostly i suspend desktops and laptops [02:48] psusi: never mind, acpi=off or noapic ? [02:48] blakkheim: #ubuntu isn't a good channel to be in if you're going to tell people to not use ubuntu. [02:49] Guest70684: should i point out that the next reelase boots in like 20 sec here on most of my machines. :) [02:49] chelz: Tell you what. I'll try it. And come back here if it doesn't work. [02:49] Tm_T: Oh, you can do that? Cool [02:49] nullkuhl, assuming you are trying to boot the livecd, it's one of the suggested options on the menu when you choose the boot options menu selection, which iirc, was like F6 or something [02:49] Dr_Willis: Netbook ;) It's slow [02:49] i'm not saying lilo is better or not, i'm just saying we've come full circle back to having to run a command after editing your boot loader files [02:49] nathanhelp: what OSes can you get do atm? [02:49] cheese will not work with my webcam, does anyone have any ideas? [02:49] get to* [02:49] psusi: yes, :) but which options noapic or acpi=off or nolapic.. [02:49] Guest70684: my netbook boots in under 30 sec. proberly less.. this is to the desktop also.. [02:49] I know how to ban! [02:49] chelz: None. My win XP failed. Won [02:49] Can someone tel me it's local time? [02:49] chelz: It won't boot. [02:50] nullkuhl, acpi=off [02:50] Aquina: 0450 [02:50] hcl2: grub2 has much more complex configs and the config files actually are bash scripts.. thats just how it is. [02:50] nathanhelp: so you only have a 7.10 livecd or something? [02:50] Dr_Willis: Interesting.. Ubuntu 8.10 takes quite a while atm on mine [02:50] nullkuhl, hell, try them all and see if one of them works for you [02:50] chelz: So what I did was grab my old 7.10 cd and ran the Live. [02:50] Guest70684: 8.10 is proberly not the ideal one for a netbook either. [02:50] hi [02:50] Dr_Willis: Hence I'm getting rid of it [02:51] hi is it possible to have applications like gftp use aria2 to download? [02:51] chelz: Hoping to run the 9.10 ISO live then install onto the same flashdrive. don't know if it'll work. [02:51] Guest70684: been testing Lucid here. Its working very well on my AAO. [02:51] who wrote the ubuntu net installer? i need to send angry emails [02:52] nathanhelp: 'same flashdrive'? what is the flashdrive currently doing? [02:52] !bug > davep [02:52] davep, please see my private message [02:52] Dr_Willis: I'll try UNR for now, then when I'm bored probably put a cli only on [02:52] flash-devices are normaly small partitions. [02:52] one thing I didn't find in the wiki is how to put the mini.iso onto a usb drive. if you have grub already on your comp, just add an entry to the file "linux" and the initrd.gz. way simpler than running syslinux or isolinux or fsking the drive [02:52] Guest70684: i dont see the point of cli only on a netbook... [02:52] hcl2: unetbootin would work [02:52] its not a bug, its awful design [02:52] Dr_Willis: i use cli only on my netbook [02:52] it asks if you want to install grub to "the mbr" [02:52] Guest70684: i find the Kde netbook interface nicer [02:52] hcl2: or you could use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net - tip for everyone [02:52] chelz: nothing atm since im using the 7.10 live. I just wanted to check. oh wait...OS'es don't boot off ISO files do they? [02:52] without telling you with disk it wants to mutilate [02:52] blakkheim: and i dont see the point. :) [02:52] which disk* [02:52] use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net - tip for everyone [02:53] Dr_Willis: fast, no wasted resources (which are very limited) === max is now known as Guest30020 [02:53] hy [02:53] Exactly [02:53] there you may add .iso files or kernel + initrd + parameters [02:53] can i ask something === Guest70684 is now known as andrew____ [02:53] psusi: with acpi=off it says IO apic resources could be not be allocated [02:53] helllo [02:53] blakkheim: i run a full desktop just fine on mine. kde4+ all the goodies. [02:53] go ahead guest30020 [02:53] can i ask something [02:53] if then gives you an option to manually type the name of the disk, but doesnt list the disks. if you go back to the partition tool to see a disk list, then return to installing grub, it tells you that you cant install grub until you've finished partitioning [02:53] Dr_Willis: and i don't see the point :) [02:53] unetbootin = way too much work [02:54] blakkheim: resources not in use are wasted.. plus id hate to use the keyboard on the netbook all day long. but mine is mainly a err.. video player at work. :) [02:54] State your question, please. [02:54] nathanhelp: they do not [02:54] Dr_Willis: Mine is almost full size keyboard [02:54] actually the 'server' install may not like a netbook. [02:55] nathanhelp: if you can burn a 9.10 iso somehow to install it, that would probably be best === Jared is now known as Guest3151 [02:55] unetbootin way too much work? about 3 clicks and its done.. [02:55] nathanhelp: i was looking into getting a usb-creator tool installed so you could make a 9.10 usb install but it would not be easy on gutsy [02:55] hi does anybody know if virtual box machine hard disk can be backed while the vm is running? [02:56] Dr_Willis: well unetbootin isn't persistent, but that might work [02:56] Wren88, probably NOT a good idea [02:56] is 1004 scheduled to be at the end of April like the previous releases? I need to install ubuntu as of now but thinking of holding back until 1004 is released! [02:56] You can make unetbootin persistant with a little tweaking. :) [02:56] im with zykotick9 on this [02:56] when I enable TwinView through the nvidia panel with a 2nd monitor connected to the vga port, my system bar is stretched acros both desktops, and when I play VLC or totem fullscreen the image is split across the screens [02:56] get the beta then [02:56] ykphuah1, 30 days 'till Lucid [02:56] chelz: would be sudo get package wouldn't it? [02:56] Wren88: you probably want to look into "snapshotting" [02:56] ykphuah1: you can alwyas upgrade.. or you could test out the betas [02:56] does ubuntu has something like shadow copy? [02:57] ykphuah1: 29th is the current predicted date of the release [02:57] IDIOT.. [02:57] blocky_: after enabling twinview. you need to restart the X server [02:57] I just wiped grub -_-# [02:57] Wren88 you can back it up but since content changes permanently that does't mak sense at all. It's like performing a backup when runing partimage or thelike. [02:57] nathanhelp: it's not in the repositories, unetbooting might work though. hold on. [02:57] how do you make a slideshow of backgrounds? [02:57] blocky_: just applying it.. will confuise things a little bit. [02:57] andrew____: please provide more information [02:57] i see [02:57] chelz: I wiped the partition with grub on it :p [02:57] blocky_: so use 'sudo service gdm restart' to totally restart X. [02:57] unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of et-linux-2.60.x86.run.zip or et-linux-2.60.x86.run.zip.zip, and cannot find et-linux-2.60.x86.run.zip. Why won't this file unzip? Its over 200MB :/ [02:57] hello..is there anyone who can help me with my ubuntu?? im a newbie .. i installed ubuntu to my laptop and after I it started the first time .. i tryed to start firefox but it crashed .. then i pressed the off-button of my laptop 8seconds and i restarted ubuntu.. but now it doesnt event start anymore it says maybe my laptop battery is too old or damaged but it isnt..and then ubuntu crashed :( i dont know what to do :( [02:57] chelz: But it's cool.. I can fix it [02:57] my asus rig hates ubuntu... [02:57] Myrtti: oh ok, thanks, I don't see the 29th on the /Releases, but I know usually it comes at the end of the month, if that's the case I will go ahead and install 910 first.... then upgrade/reinstall later. [02:57] nathanhelp: [02:58] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:58] nathanhelp: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:58] is ur laptop pluged in? [02:58] Wren88: my asus motherboard loves linux [02:58] Dr_Willis: that just reverts to disabled VGA because I haven't modified my Xorg.conf, do you think its safe to let the nvidia panel do that? [02:58] In case you prefer stability and long term support over features I recommend you to install 10.04. In the meanwhile you can give 9.10 a try and play around with it. ;-) [02:58] yes it is [02:58] mrc_, i doubt Enemy Territory is a ZIP try just running the .run file [02:58] try restarting in recovery mode [02:58] nathanhelp: try the unetbootin generic binary, not the ubuntu packages [02:58] so i was forced to virtualize it and run windows 7 on the hosts made me mad cause I put in some good investments [02:59] nathanhelp: please keep messages in this room [02:59] Aquina: hehe, actually I have been using ubuntu since 804, but I just got a new laptop that I will switch to at work, so I need to install it there and "migrate" all my things there.

[02:59] freazor try updating the laptop [02:59] blocky_: to get twinview working properly it MUST be set when the X server starts up [03:00] ok sure. chelz: I was wondering if I'd be kicked for flooding. [03:00] Neezer: any of them have a very old/low power cpu? [03:00] do u know how to do that via command line? [03:00] Neezer: also, encryption?

[03:03] !fstab [03:03] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [03:04] chelz: of course, use && instead [03:04] chelz: What will it do?

[03:10] NetEcho...well it can lead to black hat activities [03:10] nathanhelp: you could install gutsy, upgrade to hardy, install unetbootin, make the 9.10 usb, then do a new install from it [03:10] ShazbotMcMurder so can owning a computer [03:10] and I'm sure if the person didn't GIVE them their IP, they don't need it [03:10] chelz: how do I find the info for fstab [03:10] any laptop works awesome with ubuntu as long as its not an old ati [03:10] JaredH: if you have rsync running as a cronjob, make sure its running in quiet mode [03:10] I'm trying to set up the NFS Kernel Daemon in Karmic.

[03:11] NetEcho: does foobar exist? [03:11] haha [03:12] NetEcho: or winamp [03:12] yes! foo=bar is my best friend [03:12] Berzerker there are some apps like it, xmms is similar to Winamp [03:12] Hello [03:12] i try to boot with karmic cd on HP envy 15 laptop, i get : Fail in evaluating the _REG object of EC device, Broken BIOS is Suspected.. , i went to hp website to check for bios updates, found nothing there. plz advice ! i cant install/run ubuntu :S [03:12] Berzerker the default is rhythmbox, id imagine that is what most people use. people like banshee as well. I use mpg321 [03:12] not sure about foobar [03:12] Berzerker: that is the top player similarly requested on linux. you could try foobar in wine. but most end up going with either rhythmbox or amarok [03:12] you could use vlc [03:12] switch10_: I have been reading about all of the options in rsync and also other utilities for backing up/restoring data. What would you recommend for a linux newb? [03:12] Berzerker: you might like songbird actually [03:12] chelz: didn't see those, thanks [03:12] rhythmbox is really nice [03:12] does rhythmbox scrobble? [03:13] not sure [03:13] Berzerker: yes [03:13] nullkuhl: looks like you'd better check your bios. maybe flash it? [03:13] switch10_: I can operate in Microsoft with some proficiency, but in Linux... I feel like a child again :) [03:13] nullkuhl, have you tried options like acpi=off and so on? [03:13] XMMS looks a lot like Winamp but its fairly old [03:13] ubutom2: yes [03:13] acpi=off and noapic tried both, didnt work out [03:13] hm... [03:13] nathanhelp: what are you going to do? [03:13] Hey guys, I have two monitors, and I'm running two X sessions. My GNOME panels are on the wrong monitor! how do I go about moving them over? [03:14] ubutom2: what then :S [03:14] seyfarth, switch the monitor cables? [03:14] JaredH: are you running a command line system? Or do you have gnome or other desktop environments [03:14] rhythmbox is really nice, thanks === HughJass is now known as LG [03:14] ? [03:14] seyfarth make the panel u want the gnome panels on 1 and the other 2 [03:14] seyfarth: the other monitor needs to be set as your primary. does your videocard not support xinerama? [03:14] seyfarth: I use the nvidia restrictive drivers to configure monitors [03:14] switch10_: I am running gnome, but would like to learn more about the command line if it doesn't overload my brain too much [03:14] nullkuhl, don't know... looks like a bug,not a feature :/ [03:14] seyfarth: actually nvm, NetEcho is a genius [03:15] Yeah I'll just switch the cables [03:15] Thanks gentlemen [03:15] chelz I ran into that problem a lot when I worked for the school board lol, I'd get called to a school walk in the room, spend 5 specs switching the cables and the teacher would be like... Oi I'm an idiot [03:15] lol [03:15] lol === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [03:16] NetEcho: it's a deceptively simple solution [03:16] either that or if the monitors were the same size I'd just move the monitors lol [03:16] OK, I really need help.... I followed this guide to make a backup of my system http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 Then I reinstalled in order to get rid of my windows partition. I am now trying to restore and I run the command tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C / and it goes for awhile and says tar: Skipping to next header then tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [03:16] JaredH: I use this in a cron job to backup.. rsync -vrl --perms --delete --exclude '*~' --exclude 'Music' --exclude 'server' --exclude 'Downloads' --exclude 'Ubuntu One' --exclude 'Videos' --exclude '.VirtualBox' /home/dave/ /media/server/backup/desktop/dave [03:17] Wilabob: are you restoring your backup from a live environment? [03:17] switch10_: what about your root? [03:17] chelz: Yes [03:17] JaredH: it is pretty straight forward, and you could always test it. there is a dry run option [03:17] JaredH: I have no reason to backup / [03:17] my ntfs partitions get mounted though its not in fstab, where else am i supposed to look? [03:18] nullkuhl, you don't seem to be alone with that issue, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Operating-systems-and-software/BIOS-broken-on-HP-Envy-15-and-DV6T-Quad/td-p/150680 [03:18] jeeez: /media/ [03:18] Wilabob: instead of "-C /" you probably want the mounted root of your hdd, something like "-C /media/Ubuntudisk/" [03:18] is it in /etc/mtab? [03:18] I purged a bunch of files and now I'm getting a "mount of root filesystem failed" error. Can anyone please help please? [03:18] switch10_: I wanted to backup everything necessary in root to restore the system to a functional place ... because I know I am going to crash it quite a bit while I'm still learning === mOOey is now known as m00se [03:19] chelz: Sorry... I'm not running off the cd I installed a new ubuntu and I'm running off the harddrive [03:19] aetaric, OWNSyouAll: that tells me what's mounted. i want to know how it KNOWS what to mount. [03:19] not sure im getting what your asking then [03:19] mypcwontstart, you purged? you mean you deletedfiles randomly? [03:19] I lost "sharing options" is not in the Gnome drop down after removing and re-installing Samba in Synaptic Package Manager. Need help in getting that option back in Gnome. [03:19] chelz: Well I thought I could write a CD...but... I am using the CD drive! so I was going to DL a iso burner for linux and try that on my USB stick [03:19] ubuntulog, not quite randomly [03:20] oh god. [03:20] switch10_: I have read about 15 different how to's and they are all different so I was hoping you guys could break it down for me a little [03:20] is there a program to poll the amount of electricity a laptop use over a period of time? [03:20] the problem is, it gets automatically mounted in gnome, but it doesn't get mounted when i use xmonad or xfce. i have to click on the drive to load it [03:20] git trying searching for it in synpatic [03:20] ubuntulog, how do I fix my computer from the maintainance shell? [03:20] Wilabob: you need to do the restore from a liveCD. and is the version of ubuntu you backed up the same as the one you installed? [03:20] mypcwontstart, what for example? [03:20] OWNSyouAll, what keyword should i search for? [03:20] ubutom2: what did you delete? [03:20] ubuntulog, can we take this to pm? [03:21] chelz: Yes [03:21] gah. [03:21] JaredH: Most people just backup /home because it has all of your settings, etc. I find it unnecessary to back up the entire /. maybe stuff you have possibly edited like /etc/fstab or /etc/apt/sources.list [03:21] i mean ubutom2 [03:21] mypcwontstart: it is better to leave it in the channel as other users can help with the problem [03:21] mypcwontstart, it's a dangerous thing to do, some people do that on windows, sometimesleaves the system unbootable too [03:21] Wilabob: good. in the future, just so you know, you can remove windows without reinstalling. you can just use Partition Editor to delete the windows partition and get grub to update its list [03:21] git__, powertop - Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop === jz is now known as Guest61056 [03:22] switch10_: OK. Thanks. Do you know of a good HowTo to help me set it all up? [03:22] ubutom2, can you help? [03:22] mypcwontstart: what did you delete? [03:22] chelz: So I should boot the live cd? [03:22] mypcwontstart, don'T know, what did you do?:) [03:22] aetaric`noc, this is too fast [03:22] ZykoticK9, does it keep stats? Like I want to know how much electricity my laptop use within the day [03:22] I used bleachbit [03:23] JaredH: you could also run something like, sudo dpkg --get-selections > /home/user/backup/installed_packages [03:23] git__, not sure - never used it myself [03:23] sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /home/user/backup/ [03:23] To backup all of your programs [03:23] and it crashed while I was using it [03:23] can the 3 of us go to another channel? [03:23] chelz: By the way, I knew that but I wanted to expand my ubuntu partition as well so I had more space [03:23] nathanhelp: i think you can just use an older version of unetbootin as your 'iso burner' [03:24] Alright next problem: I can't turn on composite effects since switching to multiple x sessions with xinerama? [03:24] anyone know any good UML software for ubuntu? [03:24] Wilabob: yes. then do the restore with the -C pointing at a *mounted* copy of your hdd [03:24] JohnnyDread: I use umbrello [03:24] JaredH: if all this is freaking you out, I suggest you use back-in-time to start out with. It is very easy, and uses rsync. But its a GUI. [03:24] ta seyfarth [03:24] hhm,maybe it messed something up when it crashed,do you have a backup of you /homr? [03:24] switch10_: Could I pm you about something else?

[03:27] mypcwontstart: the filesystem is encrypted? or your user directory is encrypted? [03:27] mypcwontstart: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html [03:27] aetaric`noc, both the filesystem and /home are encrypted [03:27] ouch [03:27] chelz: Do they have an own channel on IRC? [03:27] mypcwontstart: are they separately encrypted or all encrypted under /? [03:28] I hope to find people who use SocialVPN. Noone? [03:28] chelz I have complete system encryption, and within that is my /home, which is also encrypted [03:29] mypcwontstart: alright, that guide i linked should work. after you mount your luks lvm you can chroot in to fix stuff if you need to. i'd try fixing your system before you backup and reinstall.

[03:30] Wilabob: then you use "-C /media/ubuntudiskname" [03:30] GRR, I screwed up grub, and I have no USB drive to install Ubuntu with [03:30] This is on my netbook.. [03:31] nullkuhl: it might be that your bios options are preventing Ubuntu from operating properly [03:31] Soo basically, fuck! [03:31] no usb drives on your netbook ?

HP's have plenty [03:32] if you dont find it under USB devices, you will find it under hardisk¨ [03:32] kimocoder: Tried it. Failed.

[03:33] can i fix that? [03:33] kimocoder: Oh wait.. So with that, I don't need a USB drive? [03:33] nullkuhl, the one to blame is probably hp, for not keeping to bios standards.

Thanks, I'll give it a go :) [03:37] chelz: Can't I have no internet. I had to use the windows drivers to get the wireless card working. That's why I need to restore [03:37] chelz: I can't find it in evolution [03:37] Wilabob: no ethernet? [03:37] What's the command to show me what sound card I have? [03:37] anyone familiar with wubi?

[03:42] Wilabob: otherwise if you don't notice any files you wanted are gone, then it might be okay to just figure the backup restore worked [03:42] chelz: Well it quits way too early. [03:43] Berzerker: there's apparently this thing https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/11530 FYI [03:43] any clue as to why ubuntu has recently been taking close to 5-10 minutes to load login screen ?

Johnson tried to avoid looking at the nurse, for fear he would rip through the tape and suddenly h [04:15] After taking his blood pressure, the nurse told Johnson that she needed to take a throat swab. She picked up a long swab, asked him to "open wide" and attempted to steady him by putting her hand on his left shoulder as she approached the back of his throat with the swab. It was too close for Andrew. He couldn't look away from her. Her hand was mere inches from the head of his cock. He was sweating enough between the nurse, the sweater, [04:15] Megan sat down in a spare chair, while Johnson forced himself to think about tax regulations until his erection subsided. After a few minutes, he succeeded to the point that his python fell out of the bottom of his sweater, just as Dr. Carson knocked and walked into the room. "Well, Andrew! It's been a while, hasn't it? How are you doing?" Johnson related that he was still doing accounting, over at Delta Biotech.

[05:02] my answer won't be wmware [05:02] Nope,, always been like this [05:02] myron: I don't see anything for it on the kernel side of things.... it might be so new that it hasn't been integrated yet. try making a post on www.ubuntuforums.org about it, add as much detail as you can, like the output from lsusb -v [05:02] it works when connecting directly to the main router but not through the switch, been trying to resolve this with the ISP [05:03] Question: How do I set a program to it's default settings? [05:03] runarfreyr: the switch might be expecting ubuntu to do something that ubuntu's not doing [05:03] Hello out there to all of you vitamin d deprived people [05:03] UbuntuBoy: depends on the program [05:03] runarfreyr: specifically, what is happening when you try to pastebin something? [05:03] Nothing at all [05:03] so, I have winxp home installed on vmware workstation, on ubuntu 9.10. I'm writing a script to copy files from ubuntu onto a internal drive that is accessible to the guest operating system. When I run the script, the files show up fine when I browse them on ubuntu, but they don't show up at all when I browse out there in winxp [05:04] when is this new distro of ubuntu happening [05:04] I'm trying to figure out if this is an ubuntu thing or a vmware thing [05:04] I figured maybe there are some settings in ubuntu, since native windows worked, ? [05:04] Ad-hoc mode in b43 has stopped working in ubuntu 9.10. any pointers to debug it? [05:04] juan_: ubuntu 10.04 is scheduled for release the end of April [05:04] rosechu: what file system is the internal drive? [05:04] ntfs [05:05] k [05:05] what [05:05] rosechu: vmware isn't part of ubuntu so it isn't supported here. but you should look into vmware tools and folder sharing, since that's how it's done with vmware. you might try seeing of virtualbox does what you want, since it's fairly similar and also has a seamless mode [05:05] i thought read/write is okay with that? :o [05:05] i cannot install a GDM theme with gnomeART ng ... it says error that it can not find a file.. how do i install gdm greeter ???? Installation is not possible!-No /etc/gdm/gdm.conf available . Thanks in advance for your reply. [05:05] I was expecting it to come out thursday [05:05] I asked in #vmware too, because I'm not sure what the problem is [05:05] vmware works fine [05:05] lol, warning: salesman detected! [05:05] ARCHAN: copy and paste everything you get in the terminal when you try to run it into a pastebin post [05:05] chelz: It is a game called Super Maryo (SMC in synaptic). I changed the resolution too high and can't switch it back. Is there a way to completely remove it and then reinstall it? [05:06] chelz, ?? [05:06] chelz, terminal ? [05:06] runarfreyr: the switch shouldn't be blocking anything it doesn't do anything with the information.... have you tried switching ports on the switch? [05:06] yup [05:06] Same thing, along with 3 reboots [05:06] UbuntuBoy: yes, in synaptic find it, right click and click on "completely remove". then apply changes. then install it again. [05:06] Gnea: will do. Thanks for the help... [05:06] ARCHAN: yes, run it in a terminal [05:06] UbuntuBoy: sudo apt-get purge && sudo apt-get install [05:07] I have an issue with finding a video driver that will work with ubuntu 9.10 I have a toshiba satellite 2405-s201 [05:07] runarfreyr: [05:07] laptop [05:07] chelz, it is in my applications > sys tools > gnome - art next gen [05:07] chelz: did it like that and it still was set in the wrong res.

[05:07] chelz, karmic [05:07] koala [05:07] UbuntuBoy: it probably stores its configuration settings somewhere in your home folder. you need to find them and move or remove them [05:08] switch10_: I'll try tha. [05:08] If anyone knows of a website that has a video driver for my laptop I trully would appreciate it cause I don;t want to go back to windows xp [05:08] chelz: Ok thanks [05:08] UbuntuBoy: it is the same as you tried with synaptic [05:08] The ISPs switch which Im talking about is a cisco 2900 catalyst. I have tried disabling my private switch, same thing so thats not the problem. [05:09] UbuntuBoy: see if there is a hidden config folder in your /home [05:09] ARCHAN: how did you install it? [05:09] I truly do not want to switch to xp if I don't have to [05:09] chelz, i installed it from ailurus . [05:10] juan_ you dont have to. Use virtualbox or dualboot. [05:10] I already cleaned my hard drive and installed ubuntu [05:10] okay, so.. I thought ntfs-3g allows read/write.. I copy to ntfs drive, and it doesn't show up in my windows xp guest operating system [05:11] chelz, http://code.google.com/p/ailurus/ .. it is similar to ubuntu Tweak... from this, i installed gnome art next gen [05:11] juan_: did you install ubuntu 9.10 karmic?

[05:12] if it wouldn't be a huge burden, I'd wipe my ntfs drive and reformat it in fat32 or something.. wtf, why doesn't windows read what I add to the drive through ubuntu [05:12] It is a VGA card [05:12] juan_: did you try the Hardware Drivers menu under System --> Administration [05:12] juan_: yes what brand/model [05:12] ARCHAN: uninstall it with ailurus [05:12] chelz, and reinstall ?? i did that twice [05:12] ARCHAN: no, just uninstall it [05:13] ARCHAN: then do this: http://ubuntuguide.net/install-ubuntu-backgroundsiconslogin-themes-using-gnomeart-nextgen [05:13] I click System>administration>hardware drivers and nothing appears in the window [05:13] I am not sure which model it is switch10 [05:13] switch10_: yes, there is a data folder there, should I delete it? [05:13] chelz, unintsalling. [05:14] switch10_: he said toshiba satellite 2405-s201 [05:14] i'm looking for info on ubuntu on it [05:14] UbuntuBoy: yes delete it if you are sure its for that game [05:14] runarfreyr: hmmm..... so you tried plugging your computer directly into the isp's router and pastebin / blog services worked? [05:14] Everything worked then === ShazbotMcMurder is now known as Shazballs [05:15] Its not the end of the world but it would be extremely sweet if I could enable the cube to show off of my friends how sweet Ubuntu is I even made fifteen copies to give out to my friends [05:15] crank 2 [05:15] chelz, but there has no karmic version. what shall i click ?

Must have been the restart but msn is still not working. So ignore the text upload thing [05:21] juan_: did you install sysinfo?

[05:54] trying paste ubuntu [05:54] runarfreyr: ok [05:55] thats what I got when I type compiz in the terminal [05:55] juan_: pastebin the output [05:55] juan_: http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:55] I only have 1 VGA port in the back of my computer. Is it possibel to have dual monitors without buying a new graphics card, or can I use a splitter of some sort? [05:56] juan_: Try SKIP_CHECKS=1 compiz & [05:56] ola [05:56] eremite: there are spanning devices that make multiple monitors work with one video card, but it's almost always better to get a video card that supports multiple monitors [05:56] eremite, with just one vga. Sadly no. Splitter would just split the same image to two monitors [05:56] heh.. caps lock LED flashes when laptop crashes.. reminds me of an amiga ;) [05:56] anyone use nautilus-actions? i can't get anything to show up in nautilus [05:56] +i Adamastor_ [05:56] !crosspost > jmcantrell [05:56] jmcantrell, please see my private message [05:57] Mardok_: what's in the .vnc folder on the headless comp [05:57] Same thing myron, any other way I can get this log o you? [05:57] Thanks in advance [05:57] runarfreyr: what about displaying one of my virtual desktops on the other monitor? Is that possible? [05:57] eremite: that would require another video card..... [05:57] I thnk not. I think you need to invest in another card [05:58] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EmSrfMk8 what happen with this please [05:58] runarfreyr: hold on let me check something [05:58] ok [05:59] gottto: Just my passwd file [05:59] tiziazrou: are you on lucid 10.04?

It's possible that the post is going through, but the confirmation is not coming back to you..... [06:02] runarfreyr: name the post empathy. I will watch for it [06:02] Trying to paste a chopped down version [06:03] Mardok_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406865/ [06:03] its called Runar Empathy [06:03] gottto: Thanks [06:03] np [06:04] i'm trying to learn a bit about chroot-ing can i mount lvm parts then chroot into one? [06:04] Mardok_: and it is called xstartup [06:04] Out_Cold: yep. you can chroot into any dir. [06:05] Out_Cold: i like this chroot setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7258942&postcount=1 [06:05] yea ok.. so i guess i should pull out the bt4 and pray.. [06:06] myron, i just get the php back from pastebin :-/ trying paste.ubuntu .... poster runarfreyr [06:06] Mardok_: I forgot that in my .xinitrc I have startfluxbox so you need something in that file [06:07] runarfreyr: ok [06:07] runarfreyr: what was the php message? [06:08] post.php 0 bytes [06:08] hello [06:08] Out_Cold: i'd actually recommend an ubuntu livecd or liveusb when dealing with ubuntu systems, but your call [06:08] switch10 are you there [06:08] gottto: X still won't start because there's no screen anyway [06:09] Something went wrong everything froze [06:09] Mardok_: did you chmod +x the xstartup file? [06:09] anyone here use gwibber? [06:09] chelz, i was just thinking that the lvm packages and much of what i need is already on the bt4 and really it is just ubuntu [06:09] juan_: I am here.. [06:09] hey chelz what do i put in where it says poster [06:09] And it looks as its timing out... I really want to drive over that switch :P [06:10] Can someone recommend a program that can remove cover art from MP3 files? I'm hitting a bug in Banshee that prevents ipod sync for files over a certain size [06:10] sorry guys I had to reboot everything froze [06:10] Can I paste it in private chat myron? [06:10] runarfreyr: sure [06:11] juan_: you backed up /etc/x11/xorg before you messed with it right?? [06:11] juan_: you can put in whatever you want, but probably "juan_" would be good [06:11] I am new [06:11] :) [06:12] This is all exciting to me [06:12] and no I did not back up [06:12] besides I can reinstall I have a copy of ubuntu [06:12] I think I have a problem with the command sudo apt-get update.when I run it,it won't stop. [06:12] <{o-o}> any hostmaster here? [06:12] dj_segfault, EasyTag can remove mp3 art [06:12] there is not anything worth caring about if I lost it [06:12] switch10_: i don't think he messed with it [06:12] juan_: why did your system freeze? [06:13] not sure [06:13] chelz: ha, ok, good [06:13] <{o-o}> any good for serving in an internet? [06:13] ZykoticK9: Thanks. I tried EasyTag. I highlighted all 6000+ files and told it to remove the cover art, and a few hours later when it said it was done, the directory was the same size. I suppose I could try again. [06:13] juan_: what command did you type before it froze? [06:13] Mardok_: here's the default xstartup - see that it uses twm - twm comes with X - you need X installed [06:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/406868/ [06:14] it seems that it always get the same thing,but never hit,so he always try to do the same thing without result. [06:14] compiz [06:14] dj_segfault, the art in mp3 isn't going to take up much room (per-file i mean) [06:14] I will right back [06:14] <{o-o}> hi everyone [06:14] gottto: When VNC connects, it just gives me an error message saying "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" and some logs basically saying "there's no monitor" [06:14] this is what it looks like on the screen: Get:1312 http://ubuntu.cn99.com jaunty/restricted Packages [8848B] [06:14] <{o-o}> just wanna ask if someone know about free hosting unlimited.

Banshee has two serious bugs (neither on the list to be fixed anytime soon): one is that it downloads images that are much bigger than your normal cover art thumbnail and does not resize them, and the other is if the total repository size gets over a certain size it starts throwing internal errors and the sync dies.

Best of luck man, hope you find a fix! [06:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/406870/ [06:17] eremite: thats not entirely true cause I used to do unlimited free hosting [06:18] Deathvalley122: so, I cuold upload 10TB and you woldnt have cared? [06:18] Deathvalley122, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support, please remain on topic [06:18] chelz: is there any problem with the source cn99.com [06:18] ZykoticK9: OK, thanks. I guess I'll try EasyTag again. I haven't found another program that syncs with ipods (as opposed to dragging and dropping files) like Banshee does, so I'm kinda stuck. [06:18] Mardok_: are you still using gdm on that comp? - you need to stop it and just boot it to cli [06:18] fungo_: if apt-get update or update manager is hanging there, then maybe [06:19] dj_segfault, try applying to just a few first and verify that it's working (before letting it loose on your whole collection) [06:19] gottto: Ah, okay [06:19] lol drive don't go that high but yes we use to do unlimited free hosting eremite not anymore though [06:20] Deathvalley122: then it wasnt unlimited, by definition. Anyone that's off topic. [06:20] chelz:maybe what? [06:21] hi [06:21] fungo_: maybe there could be a problem with taht [06:21] lol its funny I tried to advertise my hostin WHT I think its called and they gave me a warning about my unlimited specs I had lol [06:21] !ot > Deathvalley122 [06:21] Deathvalley122, please see my private message [06:22] ne1 get their Ubuntu load from OSDisc.com?

[06:25] it is pointless to try to install proprietary nvidia graphics drivers on a live usb start-up disk, because i'd have to reboot to use them and changes would be lost. Is this correct?

[06:25] rww, thank you [06:25] Nopes, I want to know how to tune line-in or mic as output. [06:25] fungo_: run the command in a terminal then copy it all into a pastebin at the url here: http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:26] unitheory: unless the liveUSB is set up to have persistant storage, in which case I think the changes might be saved [06:26] anyone know how to control fans speed have an ati hd5700 [06:26] chelz:get it [06:26] rww, i used ubuntu's start-up disk creator and selected the option to save changes [06:26] Mardok_, if you want to disable GDM from Karmic use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" [06:26] downloaded the drivers but there is no option in the catylist drivers [06:27] unitheory: that's what I mean by persistant. So yeah, it might save them in that case. [06:27] ZykoticK9: ??? Coming from the Gentoo user point of view, that's extremely weird, but okay :P [06:28] Gentoo has users?

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [06:42] Mardok_: I found your prob - you need an xorg.conf file with a monitor section cause it is autodetecting that one isn't there and freaking out [06:42] ibm: alright. if you run into any trouble just ask here. [06:42] chelz, no it happened after i imported a partition into virtualbox and tried to boot off of the hard drive. :-) slightly outside the normal mode of operation, i admit. [06:42] chelz:which server you recommend? [06:42] andruk: did you try to boot the partition you were currently running?

Instructions can be found here: http://www.review-ninja.com/2009/05/login-banner-ssh-banner-howto.html [06:44] nightsjammies, if you are using 9.10 it's probably easiest just to believe there is no such things as GDM themes [06:45] wi ftw [06:45] chelz: No. I know how to make it appear, I just need a nice banner.

[06:47] mohan2: What you probably need is the "Connection" and "Patchbay" screens of QjackCtl. Look near the bottom of http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html [06:48] thanks tsyj2007 too for helps [06:48] crazyy2k: its basically an /etc/issue but you could borrow the banner,then mod it [06:48] andruk: well assuming that's what you did, booting to an ubuntu livecd or liveusb, opening Partition Editor and right clicking on the partition, clicking "Check" then hitting the Apply button should be done [06:48] gottto: I'll give it a shot [06:48] mohan2: Beware, you can easily screw your audio setting with that amount of tweaking power. [06:48] @Soli, Thanks for help. I will do it now. [06:49] I found a thread on the forums that walked me through upgrading alsa, but that didn't help anything. It's been a while since I've run linux, so I'm not sure I remember what all info even helps with troubleshooting these kinds of issues [06:49] I do know that all my mixer settings are correct. nothing is muted [06:49] chelz: For some reason, I don't see the characters well-aligned when login remotely, and I'm using the same terminal with the same font I'm using here. What could be the reason? [06:49] bootninja: have you gone through the soundtroubleshooting wiki article? [06:50] I guess that should be my next step :) [06:50] !sound | bootninja [06:50] bootninja: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:51] crazy2k: are you using the same OS in both places?

[06:51] chelz: Ubuntu 9.10 at both places. [06:52] isn't lmsensors the goto temp monitor? [06:52] is there a rdp server program for ubuntu? [06:52] just type 'sensors' in your console [06:52] then you get everything [06:53] crazy2k: it might be a tabs vs spaces thing or if you changed the fonts in use in your terminal [06:53] chelz: If I try to ssh localhost in this machine, the text is wrong too. [06:53] !vnc | hanasaki [06:53] hanasaki: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [06:53] thanks for the resources. I'll go peruse them for a bit [06:53] crazy2k: it's probably tabs vs spaces. try editing the file using a terminal editing program like nano [06:53] chelz: I just did "figlet my-banner > /etc/issue.net" [06:54] chelz: It's all spaces. [06:54] yes but chelz vnc does not work.. need a gdm login screen and its busted in karmic [06:54] is there a way to change the sensors to F°?

[06:59] no [06:59] GSF1200S: i know of people that use it [06:59] chelz: really I need the unix rdp server so that windows can tget to it easy [06:59] I only answer yes or no questions [07:00] quick usre question: I have 9.10 installed and I want to force a SPECIFIC KERNEL to boot with grub2. how do I do that? [07:00] chelz: im just wondering if static and weird noises is typical over skype [07:00] GSF1200S: it is not. [07:00] Rudd-O, did you install the kernel? [07:00] Shazballs, chat elsewhere please [07:00] I'm not chatting sir. [07:00] Shazballs: no, the latest kernel update freezes the machine when using wireless, so I want to use th eolder kernel [07:01] Rudd-O, well you have to install the kernel to boot from the kernel [07:01] Rudd-0: it should be completely clear? Its not horrible, but I get this faint static and then quiet popping sounds [07:01] hanasaki: you'd use xrdp then. http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/xrdp [07:01] hanasaki: sudo apt-get install xrdp [07:01] chelz: done. never got the thing to work.. have you gotten xrdp to work? [07:01] hanasaki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xrdp and http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/ [07:01] hanasaki: i haven't tried. but that seems to be the only option for rdp support. i suggest vnc if you just can't seem to get xrdp to work. === simon_ is now known as Guest33527 [07:02] GSF1200S: do you experience that with any other programs that use your mic on ubuntu? [07:02] no [07:02] GSF1200S: can you use anything else than mic input to test the transfer? (like an audio file), then you could split the test to at least two parts: 1. transmission 2. whats up with my cra** mic [07:02] chelz: And it's not fixed in the latest version in Ubuntu 9.10 [07:02] chelz: issue is that the vncserver option does not work.. its busted in karmic [07:02] Shazballs: ok, let me explain [07:02] there are TWO kernels installed [07:03] hanasaki: look over this: http://www.mexlinux.com/how-to-install-xrdp-in-ubuntu/ [07:03] the one that ships with ubuntu, and an update. the update HANGS the machine. but booting with the one tha tships with ubuntu, is FINE [07:03] now, I want to force the specific kernel tha tWORKS, to boot [07:03] but grub2 is dynamic and there seems no way to be do what I want to do [07:03] because it will fail as soon as the kernel is updated if I set a specific kernel to boot, because it is with numbers [07:03] brontosaurusrex, chelz: My sound works fine and clear on exaile, I can record sounds via sound recorder and its clear. But, i get static on skype- its not horrible, but its there [07:04] like default=0, that will fail [07:04] j sex [07:04] hanasaki: http://ubuntuwiki.net/index.php/Xrdp,_installing [07:04] Rudd-O: remove the kernel that does not work in synaptic, then update-grub [07:05] GSF1200S: i'am saying (if it is possible) the other side can send you a clean audio file via skype voice protocol, so you can check if this has anything to do with transmission itself [07:05] Rudd-O: finding out why the newer kernel has issues might help [07:05] GSF1200S: do you have the latest skype from skype.com? [07:05] Rudd-O: or you could install startup-manager and use it to boot from the older kernel. [07:05] chelz: yes [07:05] chelz: I dont have time for that. the machine DEADLOCKS and I can't wait until the bug report gets through and it gets fixed. [07:06] switch10_: startup-manager [07:06] interesting [07:06] Rudd-O: its in synaptic [07:06] there is no startup-manager [07:06] No se pudo encontrar ningún paquete cuyo nombre o descripción coincida con "startup-manager" [07:06] name is wrong [07:06] Rudd-O: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager [07:06] it is startupmanager together [07:06] letme update the system first [07:06] and I will install it later [07:07] thanks for the tip, that was really helpful [07:07] !enter | Rudd-O [07:07] Rudd-O: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:07] Rudd-O: sudo apt-get install startupmanager [07:07] Rudd-O: of course the caveat of using a gui to mess with system files applies, stuff could break [07:07] switch10_: yeah, that I know. been managing debian and ubuntu systems for five years now :-) did an aptitude search to find the name of the package. [07:08] chelz: sure, I already backed up the stuff. [07:08] How can I determine my video driver for my VGA compatible controller Intel Mobile 915GM? [07:09] bullgard: we can tell you that right now: the video driver name is 'intel' [07:10] Rudd-O: But video.c: "ACPI Video Driver". Why this 'ACPI'? [07:10] bullgard: meh! that I do not know. [07:11] ok, it looks like maybe I'm using the wrong codec. according to the alsa-info script, I have an snd-hda-intel chip, using STAC9205 codec. but when I look up that codec in ALSA-Configuration.txt, the 9205 only seems to talk about dells, and my laptop is a gateway. [07:11] that is likely a subdriver for the ACPI powr management inside the card [07:11] ahhhh [07:11] AUDIO driver [07:12] has anyone used NXserver to remotely access another computer, How hard is it to set it up? [07:12] does that sound like a reasonable conclusion, or am I not understanding this correctly? [07:12] Rudd-O: What does your message: "AUDIO driver" mean? [07:12] yo peeps [07:12] bullgard: are you experiencing a problem? [07:12] !hi | roycebarber [07:12] roycebarber: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [07:13] * roycebarber has a question about usb wifi dongles. what would be a good one to buy? mine isn't supported! [07:13] I dunno. I've never had any luck with usb wireless [07:13] roycebarber: look for something with a ralink chipset [07:13] hey guys, anyone use openvnc with firestarter? [07:14] chelz: Yes I do. My Ubuntu 9.10 now and then freezes when I am using Chatzilla scrolling. (Chatzilla as a Firefox plugin.) {compiz is not switched on.} [07:14] roycebarber: although I have the cheapest one money could buy and it has a realtek chipset, and it works great, so go figure.. [07:14] roycebarber: these should help: http://www.google.com/search?q=good+wireless+OR+wifi+usb+adapter+for+ubuntu [07:14] im using a d-link dwa-130 which i bought for Vista ages ago, and some forums say they can get it to work, but it's like walking on hot coals. ralink..hmm. not sure how to go about that. i shall consult with goog...ha! [07:14] * achiang upgraded to lucid beta from hardy, now wireless (ath5k) is broken. NM refuses to manage the device. is this related to a stale /etc/network/interfaces file? i think i can recover if i knew which files to delete in order to convince NM to take over... any clues? [07:14] one odd symptom is, i can do an ifup ath0 and get networking for about 30 seconds before it disassociates from my AP [07:15] although this occurred during an upgrade to lucid, i think it's just a generic NM problem, so looking for advice on how to wipe out old config files and re-enable NM [07:15] achiang, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [07:15] Ubuntu 10.04 supports Wireless N, right? [07:15] achiang: Please ask this in #ubuntu+1 [07:16] bazhang: bullgard: already did, no response -- like i said, please don't be thrown off by the mention of lucid; i think it's just a generic NM problem [07:16] hi [07:16] hmm i see form the other response.. +1 is the place 4 me [07:16] achiang, nonetheless its the correct channel, be patient [07:16] just looking for some generic NM help, that's all [07:16] bullgard: what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA [07:17] One last question... Any big downside to using the SMUXI IRC client?

(not the one students are taking home with them, but the one used in teacher's administration) [07:18] SDr, try ##english [07:18] bazhang: ok, let me rephrase my question -- what do i need to do to convince NM to start managing my wireless device? delete some stale files in /etc somewhere? services conflicting with each other somehow?

[07:22] startupmanager did not help [07:22] Rudd-O: remove newer kernels and pin the relevant kernel packages in synaptic [07:22] no, I've got a mac also (laptop, my desktop is Linux) [07:22] murry-chounna [07:22] it just edited GRUB_DEFAULT [07:23] so I just sync on the laptop with iTunes [07:23] chelz: ok that sounds very workable [07:23] any clue as to why ubuntu has recently been taking close to 5-10 minutes to load login screen? haven't done anything other than install a few updates and enable remote desktop [07:23] chelz: steps to do that? [07:23] Rudd-O: select packages, go to Package and click on "Lock version" [07:23] on synaptic? [07:23] OK [07:23] although wait [07:23] which package? [07:23] should I lock? [07:23] i dunno if that stops newer kernels from being installed [07:24] switch10_ do you use rooms? I'm using irchon...it's free [07:24] since it's like newer kernels are different packages, they don't replace older ones [07:24] yeah [07:24] Guest52215: right on. I don't own a mac, so when I got my IPhone syncing with ubuntu, I was pretty impressed [07:24] linux-image-generic is version 2.6.31.20.33 and it pulls linux-image-2.6.31.20.33 with it [07:24] what now? [07:24] Rudd-O: ok one way to fix this is to use a wildcard pinning in apt_preferences for linux kernel stuff [07:24] let me see if I can downgrade linux-image-generic [07:24] I've got a friend who did the same thing...he was so excited when he could sync with Linux [07:25] there is NO WAY to downgrade [07:25] damn! [07:25] ok [07:25] but I can pin it down to this version, and then my GRUB_DEFAULT will never be altered from the current value 2 [07:25] that is workable [07:25] does anyone know that program in linux that overlays the desktop with random info? [07:25] Rudd-O: just remove the new kernel.. [07:25] like cpu usage, ram usage, media controls, etc. [07:26] Berzerker: conky? [07:26] Berzerker, conky [07:26] Berzerker: conky? [07:26] Hello Everybody [07:26] conky [07:26] haha [07:26] that's it [07:26] thanks lol [07:26] everyone knows that one [07:26] I have recently started getting this problem. [07:26] also gkrellm iirc [07:26] I also like saidar === tyler is now known as Guest71849 [07:26] Rudd-O: in apt_preferences you can set all linux kernel packages other than the one you currently have installed to a priority low enough that they don't get installed [07:27] I am using 9.04 jaunty. [07:27] Rudd-O: you really should solve the bug though [07:27] so now that I have it, how do I use it? [07:27] force version has no effect [07:27] Berzerker, great how to a t ubuntuforums, let me find the link [07:27] When i add new ppa to the softwares sources, it gets added. [07:27] bazhang: thanks [07:27] chelz: sure, but first things first lets get this machine stable [07:27] I have even manually added the gpg keys. [07:27] raddy, please put your entire problem on to a single line [07:27] Berzerker: http://www.clububuntu.com/2009/03/installing-conky-in-ubuntu-light-weight.html [07:28] Rudd-O: well not installing kernel updates is bad for security. what's the issue that happens with the newer kernel anyway? [07:28] Berzerker: conky-colors is cool too.. [07:28] chelz: this is a laptop. security is not a problem here. [07:28] switch10_: what is conky-colors? [07:28] chelz: whenever wireless is used, the machine HANGS HARD [07:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5436679 Berzerker [07:28] Rudd-O: what brand and model number? [07:29] eremite: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 [07:29] I find that gnokme-network-manager hangs sometimes when I use wireless [07:29] switch10_: you can make colors with conky by yourself, you dont need to download somone elses config files. [07:29] bazhang: particular package is not being shown in Add/Remove Software or Synaptic even after adding it's ppa, but when i try to manually install the deb file it says a new version is already there in the repository. [07:29] raddy, link to the PPA please [07:30] eremite: yes but it is way easier for Berzerker to configure :) [07:30] bazhang: https://launchpad.net/~gm-notify-maintainers/+archive/ppa [07:30] raddy, you did update sources.list correct? (sudo apt-get update) [07:30] hi all [07:30] hopefully just found my solution. cross your fingers for me :) [07:31] bazhang: Softwares sources reloads the list every time i make changes.

I guess things are being being taken care of [07:31] !lucid | costre [07:31] costre: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [07:31] costre, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please [07:31] bazhang: moreover i selected to show "All available applications" [07:31] costre: remember that it is in beta. it is not released yet. [07:32] ok, will do [07:32] Hi! I am using ubuntu 9.10 and have a PVR 150 video capture card. I am able to see the image only in black and white when I view it through mplayer /dev/video0 [07:32] raddy, you are using karmic? and you added the PPA thus: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name ? [07:32] could someone tell me how to over come this and be able to view in colour? [07:33] bazhang: i am using jaunty. not karmic [07:33] shan: be more specific. [07:33] shan: i'd guess your in pal land and your card is configured as ntsc, or something in that area [07:33] someone can help me with a littler problem on ubuntu [07:33] shan, Use a interface like smplayer and choose different video output? [07:34] brontosaurus rex: I have used v4l2-ctl and changed the format to pal [07:34] raddy, and when you apt-cache search thatpackage is it found? [07:34] chelz: I am still reading the article which you suggested. -- Thank you for your help. [07:34] bazhang: I don't understand. [07:34] bazhang: apt-cache? [07:35] raddy, the package is gm-notify , correct? in terminal apt-cache search notify or apt-cache search gm-notify [07:35] costre: I did use the s-video input and also the composite1 input. In svideo input I am getting a very grainy image [07:35] shan, My bad, I missed it was about input [07:36] in that case, my guess is PAL vs NTSC also [07:36] shan: you might need to install a newer ivtv driver [07:36] shan, composite is supposed to be far grainier that svideo [07:36] When I use the ntsc mode I get waves but in pal mode I get a good image but in black and white [07:36] shan: looking over this might help: http://www.simsemporium.com/Stuff/Mythtv+-+PVR-150+-+Ubuntu+-+New+Zealand+HOWTO.html [07:37] bazhang: correct result is showing up in apt-cache. === Guest71849 is now known as sereph [07:37] thats what I thought too. [07:37] shan, Can you change the output from the transmitter? [07:37] raddy, and sudo apt-get install gm-notify ? [07:38] chelz: I will surely take a look at it. [07:38] bazhang: but running that command wouldn't spoil the actual intention of my question? [07:38] hi guys had a question... any clue as to why ubuntu has recently been taking 5-10 minutes to load to the login screen? i haven't done anything other than install a few updates and enable remote desktop [07:38] is anyone familiar with microsoft acess? [07:38] how do i install the flash plugin for the chrome beta [07:38] picard1421, relating to ubuntu? [07:38] : No, I am using a dvd player and don't have that option [07:39] ddrj: you can install something like bootchart to see what's taking up time [07:39] raddy, thought you wanted to install it [07:39] bazhang: as i didn't say i have problems installing apps from newly added ppa in command line too, as i didn't try. [07:39] thanks chelz!!!! [07:39] checking [07:39] ddrj: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootCharting [07:39] bazhang: but not via command line [07:39] shan, Really? Most dvdplayers I have used can change their output if you have a certain TV [07:39] raddy, you mean not being in add/remove? not everything is shown there [07:40] somebody wasn't crossing their fingers. no joy :( [07:41] bazhang: apps from newly added ppa are not being shown in Add/Remove and Synaptic, but it shows up while trying to manually install the deb file and in apt-cache search results, this my problem. [07:41] costre: I will check to see if that is the problem, but earlier when I used the same dvd player and a different card I was able to view the images in colour? [07:41] raddy: the command to install something without the keys is something like: sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install theapplicationname [07:41] shan depends on the card I guess [07:41] maybe [07:41] bootninja: all a learning experience [07:41] raddy, how is that a problem? you can install them, correct? something aesthetic? [07:42] raddy: with my guess that you got the PGP stuff wrong [07:42] brontosaurusrex: i didn't say i have not added the gpg signature files [07:42] raddy: GPG i mean* [07:42] chelz and costre please do send me a mail to shan at spiretek dot in if you can think of some solution.

[07:56] maginot: it does the same thing. (I set the DNS to a local DNS) I can try 8.8.8.8 if you like [07:57] raven: you can try using windows utilities to do that in wine [07:57] aboeing, 8.8.8.8 is the public dns provided by google... [07:58] aboeing, it like a last resort alternative, I use it here, so I know it's working... do you are behind any firewall ? Its from a domestic network you are trying to connect? [07:58] chelz: volume control meaning the speaker icon in the system tray, or alsamixer? [07:58] bootninja, alsamixer will work too [07:58] in alsamixer I went in and moved all sliders to 100%. that was the first thing I did [07:58] maginot: 8.8.8.8 isn't working for me, this is a network at work that I am using.. the linux computers used to work [07:58] btw, what is gnome/ubuntu doing, if one plugs the volume control wide over 100%? [07:58] Hi All [07:59] aboeing, so I suspect you are behind some kind of firewall ... [07:59] aboe: do you have to login to a windows domain to access the web on your work network? [07:59] bootninja: speaker icon "Open Volume Control" is what it is in intrepid [07:59] bootninja: no. [07:59] maginot: I have asked our IT guy, and he says "there is no firewall" [07:59] I don't see anything like that. if I right click speaker icon I only get sound preferences and mute [08:00] aboeing, I think I come in the middle of you problem, just saw the dns problem, what kind of issue are you having ? [08:00] bootninja, can you go to the console and type alsamixer and see if any controls are muted or without volume ? [08:00] maginot: the problem is i can ping things within my local network, but not to the outside world. windows computers and mac computers on this network are not having any problems [08:01] Simple yet annoying issue: I was testing a BASH script, ended up renaming my Desktop directory in my home directory, and now - even though I renamed it back to "Desktop", my desktop shows icons for content under my home directory [08:01] aboeing, ok, lets start over. But you can access websites ? [08:01] maginot: not on the linux computer [08:02] Would anyone be able to tell me if you can use exFat/Fat64 on ubuntu? [08:02] aboeing, pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf together with your /etc/hosts [08:02] maginot: I just verified that in alsa mixer, nothing is muted and everything is at 100% volume [08:02] oh, yes! bluetooth keyboard+mouse installed and working like a charm!

[08:03] bootninja, dmesg is one of them... you can try /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/user.log and /var/log/syslog [08:03] sYskk, change your download locations perhaps [08:03] Thanks, Hon out. [08:03] costre: how ? [08:03] sYskk: you need to go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources [08:03] sYskk, synaptic preferences [08:04] sYskk: check universe main restricted multiverse [08:04] aboeing, ok, if you are not behind any firewall change you resolv.conf to have ONLY nameserver 8.8.8.8 [08:04] How do I link my Desktop directory to my actual graphical Desktop?

[08:05] maginot: no, I am using a different computer to chat [08:05] telmich: thanks [08:05] aboeing, we will get there... [08:06] the 8.8.8.8 is not a server [08:06] you will be redirected to local servers [08:06] ubuntu123, is the Public DNS provided by Google, 8.8.8.8 is the primary and 8.8.4.4 is the secondary [08:06] srv: System -> Administration -> System Log [08:06] anyone know anything about how I can find weather codes for my nearest weather station (for the conky script) [08:06] chelz: yeah that's gnome-system-log, thank you [08:06] and maybe chinese can read these logs [08:07] cat /etc/resolv.conf [08:07] haaa ha [08:07] nameserver 8.8.8.8 [08:07] ubuntu123, what does that have to do with ubuntu support?

[08:10] I've got a slight problem on Ubuntu 9.10: when opening Firefox or Thunderbird the windows open at borders of the desktop (ie the last size of the window persists, but the position where it was closed does not) [08:10] maginot: only thing I see in any of those logs that seems to have anything to do with sound is Mar 31 02:07:32 bootninja-laptop pulseaudio[4975]: ratelimit.c: 127 events suppressed [08:11] MoeRoman: i'd assume there is some file in /home/user, the kind that starts with a . [08:11] bootninja, just to understand, how do you know isn't your headfone or the jack problem? [08:11] brontosaurusrex: ok, I will look [08:11] I need to adjust the roaming aggressiveness of my wireless [08:12] aboeing, pastebin ifconfig output please. === Cain` is now known as Cain [08:12] MoeRoman: it may be /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs [08:12] MrApple, roaming aggressiveness ... [08:13] for my wireless connection maginot [08:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/406906/ [08:13] If this is some sort of 'feature' that is supposed to help keeping my windows ordered, I'd be happy to know where I can turn it off [08:13] maginot: I know that's not the problem, because it worked fine in windows. I had this problem last time I installed ubuntu about a year ago and then went back to windows and just freshly installed 9.10 two days ago. and it worked fine in windows [08:13] MrApple, can I ask what kind of problem are you havin? [08:13] brontosaurusrex: cool, looking [08:14] if i try to branch something like lp:xyz with bazaar i get the following error message :- "bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist." branching over http works fine. any ideas / solutions?

Also can I change my programs selected in the notification/email/im area if evolution can't do so and another program can? [08:15] bootninja, HDA intel is a very problematic driver =/ I think you will find a lot of bugs related... have you tried updating the kernel? [08:15] I have internet threw my apts, each building has multiple connections to ensure a good connection, they think I've been dropping so much do to my wireless jumping from point to point, maginot [08:16] aboeing, very odd, everything seens to be right. You said you can ping other computer of the local network right, so can you ping the one you are using right now? [08:17] MrApple, sorry, still can't understand what the roaming aggressiveness will do for you. [08:17] yes: [08:17] PING 192.168.1.70 (192.168.1.70) 56(84) bytes of data.

I'm using kernel 2.6.31 is there a simple method of installing a new kernel, or do I have to compile it? [08:17] by making it less aggressive it will supposedly cause me to jump from point to point less [08:18] bootninja, if you are using ubuntu you try and see if update manager have anything new there [08:18] MrApple, but why can you just setup one default ap ? [08:18] according to update manager my system is up to date [08:19] they don't assign static ips [08:19] maginot, [08:19] erwr [08:19] uh [08:19] MrApple, ok, but you don't need one to do that... you can just assign a default ap by it MAC address [08:20] maginot, and I've done that but I still have issues with dropping randomly [08:20] brontosaurusrex: wish I knew how to modify that back to default [08:20] so they suggested this [08:21] MoeRoman: i can paste mine if that is of any help? [08:21] brontosaurusrex: yeah [08:21] bootninja, lets see if we can get any interesting output... what app are you using to play the sound? do you have vlc or something like that that we could run from the console and see what outputs it gaves ? [08:22] MoeRoman: http://b.pastebin.com/bPpai5Mk [08:22] maginot: indeed I can. [08:23] brontosaurusrex: brb [08:23] MrApple, well, if you have to do something like that, first is see what kind of hardware you're using, to see if you have support for that [08:24] IceDeep: i used a WebDav tut at ubuntugeek.com to do similar on home network [08:24] I'm using thunderbird 3.0.3 and I set up a news server. however it says xxx:563 uses an invalid security certificate. all the settings are right. what can I do now? [08:25] Bonjour [08:25] quietone, Thanks. I will mark it down to check out. I know thunderbird might work as well. I was just hoping evolution would do it since it's built in [08:25] only speak english or somebody speak french? [08:26] !fr | SrO [08:26] SrO: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [08:26] thank you Flannel ;) [08:27] maginot: running an mp3 in vlc from terminal I get output:[0x28240d8] pulse audio output: No. of Audio Channels: 1 [08:27] brontosaurusrex: ta-ra! Done [08:27] maginot: just wondering if you had any more ideas on what the problem could be? if not, thank you very much for your help so far - at least now i have a working nameserver [08:27] MoeRoman: cool [08:27] brontosaurusrex: Thanks man, solved [08:28] aboeing, let me think for a while, you setup seen to be okay... but just a sec, maybe we missed something [08:28] brontosaurusrex: Cool thing is, I thought the default value was as you provided, yet I was not sure, however, after I restarted X, it worked [08:28] aboeing: you could always try the old windows standby and reboot :) [08:28] nobody how can help me? somebody know how to use PDT eclipse with Zend Debugger? [08:29] brontosaurusrex: have a nice one, and thanks again [08:29] MoeRoman: contra and np [08:30] brontosaurusrex: contra? :) [08:30] How can one determine the mime-type of file trough a terminal? [08:30] theadmin: the file command [08:30] Anyway [08:31] See you all later [08:31] aboeing, ip route show, and #route del 169.254.0.0 (remove that 169.254.0.0 from you route list... ) [08:31] MoeRoman out [08:31] maco: Thanks. That does it. === bbalajirao is now known as hey_boy [08:31] aboeing, put together the output of ethtool eth0 [08:32] Wish i could find a list of all those commands somewhere :/ [08:32] is there a exe decompiler in ubuntu? [08:32] IceDeep: evolution's home page says it supports Web calendar. You could try #evolution on irc.gimp.org [08:33] Thanks quietone :) [08:33] ja660k: decompiling is a tough process, it all depends on what language it's in. But you can RUN exe apps with WINE. See winehq.org for more info. [08:33] ja660k, maybe on #gdb they could give you a good answer [08:34] theadmin, yeah i dont want to run it, its one of those "FREE SECURITY SCAN" things i just wanna see whats inside them [08:34] ja660k, I remember one time ago asking there something like what you are looking for [08:34] maginot, thanks :) [08:34] I am looking for support for sharing my wired internet to my wireless via infrastructure. I have looked everywhere, ubuntu forums google, and blog sites, nothing was useful the way I want to use it. [08:34] ja660k: Submit it to ThreatExpert or VirusTotal... [08:34] I have found support to do the sharing backwords though [08:35] theadmin, okay [08:35] Hm, Empathy takes several minutes to connect, why? [08:35] white1, you will have to use some iptables & iproute configuration, maybe #netfilter is the best place for looking further info (or google) [08:35] do i need to 'fstab' virtualbox shared folders? (linux is guest in this case) [08:36] okay I will check that room out thanks maginot [08:36] brontosaurusrex, fstab is just to mount partitions.... do you need to pre-mount any partition for using your share? [08:36] I am trying to make a switch to Empathy, but it is no working nicely, [08:36] bleh. "devicekit-disks: abstraction for enumerating block devices"... They coulda give a better description [08:36] I'm using thunderbird 3.0.3 and I set up a news server. however it says xxx:563 uses an invalid security certificate. all the settings are right. what can I do now? [08:36] white1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360206 [08:37] maginot: i did 'sudo mount -t vboxsf mintShared ./' [08:37] Empathy takes a lot of time to connect to the gtalk or irc, any solution? [08:37] maginot, white1: actually just using Network Manager might work [08:37] maginot: and it worked for a while [08:37] theadmin, this thing is riddled with trojans, i cant believe people actually fall for this [08:37] ja660k: :D Many do. [08:37] chelz, Hmm will take a look, that would be new to me [08:37] ja660k: here's a challenge: find a way to get people to not fall for those [08:37] * rocket16 is waiting [08:38] Friends, any solution? [08:38] chelz, that is THE challenge [08:38] brontosaurusrex, well, we coud keep trying things, but #virtualbox is the right place [08:38] Empathy! [08:39] maginot: right [08:39] !Empathy [08:39] Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu (replacing Pidgin). [08:39] what's the variable for displaying a username in conky? [08:39] rocket16: you could try running it in a terminal and seeing if anything looks off in the output [08:39] chelz: Ok, [08:39] For GNOME, huh. What is XFCE's instant messenger? [08:39] Berzerker: in bash and stuff it's $USER [08:40] why does google chrome run multiple processes? [08:40] Shazballs: that's offtopic [08:40] chelz, I didn't really think so [08:40] shaz because that way one tab crashing doesn't crash the browser [08:40] chelz: not really, it might be Linux/Ubuntu-specific [08:41] chelz: awesome, thanks [08:41] Shazballs: But i have an assumption that this is because of separate tab thingy, so that one tab can't crash the whole browser [08:41] ^^ [08:42] chelz, really don't get it how that link would help sharing a wirelless connection to a wired connection ... [08:42] Berzerker: more on that is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [08:42] hi i have been given an external harddrive to copy some stuff onto. when i plug it in fisk says it doesnt contain a valid partition table. would this be because it has possibly been formated on a mac? [08:42] k thanks [08:42] chelz: I have lm-sensors installed, but it doesn't display temp [08:42] Speaking of web browsers, pretty much the only thing I can't get to work is the flash over at www.isketch.net ... can anyone have a look and see if it works for them? [08:42] johntramp, maybe you have to format it before using? [08:42] maginot: i thought it was the other way around, that they wanted to share a wired to a wireless [08:43] maginot: no she said there is some stuff on there already [08:43] Berzerker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [08:43] johntramp, see what dmesg tells you after you plug the device (it will say what it can't be mounted) [08:43] Hm, to me, the Gnome-XChat is better than Empathy for irc [08:44] * rocket16 is happy with Gxchat [08:44] I use xchat, have nothing to complain of :D [08:44] didn't even know empathy had irc support [08:44] white1: for the opposite, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyWirelessToWiredConnectionSharing [08:45] that why they swapped pidgin out for it? [08:45] Xchat here too ... I don't know if encryption is easily solvable in gxchat as in xchat [08:45] bootninja: both empathy and pidgin rely on libpurple, which supports irc. i'm pretty sure. [08:45] bootninja, don't even know empathy =X [08:45] Empathy is a huge meh so far :/ Don't mean to provoke a flamewar, but the interface is horrible so far [08:45] chelz: I wasn't contradicting you, merely expressing my ignorance :) [08:45] chelz: No, empathy uses Telepathy, not libpurple [08:46] theadmin: you can always install pidgin [08:46] chelz: Next, run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools". [08:46] can anyone running ubuntu try http://www.isketch.net and see if the flash displays correctly? [08:46] chelz: I'm using it right now :D [08:46] chelz: I get this when I run it: Usage: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools COMMAND [08:46] <[]zombie> hi there, all of a sudden i can't ssh to my desktop.... i get a timeout error... can anyone help?

[08:46] Berzerker: "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start" [08:46] Berzerker: I think you need to append "start" after that line. or 'stop" [08:46] bootninja: yes [08:46] lol,getting back to old xchat [08:46] costre: That's shockwave, not flash, an OLLLLLLLLLD windows thing [08:47] GSF: and you're sure that you installed the ssh client not the server? [08:47] []zombie, what did you done so far to guarantee that your problem is not any connection or service not be running problem? Please do some tests [08:47] i have both installed bootninja [08:47] theadmin, That explains it [08:47] maginot: http://pastebin.com/4iub1TK5 [08:47] <[]zombie> i just ran tcpcump, maginot [08:47] dmesg looks okay to me [08:47] <[]zombie> server can see my laptop trying to connect [08:48] GSF: then the problem is probably path related [08:48] johntramp, if any one told you you had something inside it its lying or you removed, you have no partitions inside the device as fdisk just told you [08:48] GSF what happens when you just type in ssh? [08:48] maginot: what does # [08:48] sdg: [mac] sdg1 sdg2 sdg3 sdg4 sdg5 sdg6 [08:48] mean [08:49] bootninja, if I do sudo ssh user@host, it says not command not found.. if I log in as root and then execute ssh user@server, it says permission denied [08:49] john: sdg is the hard drive you are trying to copy off. sdg 1-n are the partitions on that drive [08:49] []zombie, tcpdump doesn't work for your problem, you have to check if the service is running, if you can reach the server and if the port you are trying to use is rightm, them check you firewall to see if something is being blocked [08:49] maginot: yeah i realise taht [08:49] maginot: but why does dmesg say sdg1-6 but fdisk has nothing [08:50] <[]zombie> maginot: thanks, i'll check those things and get back to you [08:50] johntramp, to guarantee you have nothing inside, just run fdisk /dev/sdg (as root, is what # means) [08:50] i am [08:51] How to prevent Ubuntu from automounting /dev/sdb1?

[08:52] theadmin: oh, to prevent that fstab won't work [08:52] bootninja, any ideas? i dont know wtf.. it worked before [08:52] hi [08:52] my rtl8187se is very unstable (disconnects after 20-30 seconds) [08:52] theadmin: i'm not sure how to prevent removable devices from being mounted [08:52] what can I do about it? [08:52] Hi all , i have an "ATI rage 128" on an old PC and uf i try to enable desktop effects it searchs for avaible drivers without finding anything. When i movee a window it takes lots of time... ANyone knows how to find and install proper driver? [08:52] al1as, buy anything that is not realtek lol [08:52] GSF maybe when you run as root it is trying to connect and just not letting you login?

[08:53] maginot: windows works just fine with same card [08:53] theadmin: can this not be done via system>preferences>removable media? just turn off the mount when inserted or hotplugs [08:53] maginot: I know that realtek is piace of sh*t [08:53] matteo1990, disable all effects :) That's where you end up eventually anyway ;) [08:53] any other recommandations? [08:53] GSF: sorry, I don't really know what to tell you otherwise.

[08:56] so do it [08:56] =) [08:56] maginot: I can't find linux driver on realtek site [08:57] hello [08:57] does anyone in here know about a recent update to either xorg or ubuntu karmic that is causing HDMI issues? [08:57] bootninja: not if you use the source from ubuntu. if you use source from kernel.org then it is just as tricky. scan over this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [08:57] maginot: no just fdisk -l /dev/sdg [08:57] helouuu [08:57] johntramp, no, fdisk /dev/sdg , them type "p" to print the partition table, to exit just type "q" [08:57] maginot: doing it that way doesn't make a difference, still nothing shows [08:57] Hi all , i have an "ATI rage 128" on an old PC and uf i try to enable desktop effects it searchs for avaible drivers without finding anything. When i movee a window it takes lots of time... ANyone knows how to find and install proper driver? [08:58] how do I install mod_rewrite for apache ? i have the following line in httpd.conf and it wont work: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so [08:58] matteo1990, No luck with envy then? [08:58] a rage 128? gonna be hard or impossible to find drivers for that anywhere [08:58] envy may do it, but thats an old card [08:58] johntramp, try cfdisk /dev/sdg to see if you get any output [08:59] hay alguien ke kiera chat [08:59] luis_, #ubuntu-es [08:59] !es | luis_ [08:59] luis_: 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. [08:59] maginot: that is also the same [08:59] Is there a release date for Lynx ? [09:00] sYskk: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html and http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html [09:00] johntramp, I'm pretty sure that cfdisk could show any HFS+ partition even if you can't access them, just a sec, let me confirm [09:01] !schedule-#ubuntu+1 | TPS [09:01] TPS: A schedule of Lucid Lynx (10.04) release milestones can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [09:01] Thanks [09:01] TPS: further Lucid/10.04 questions go in #ubuntu+1, not here, btw :) [09:02] Also thanks [09:02] costre, no suitable driver for my card :S [09:02] chelz: i know how mod_rewrite work, but i cant install it :/ [09:02] hmm, nobody seems to know whats going on with HDMI output on forums or in here - its just that a lot of people, myself included, in the last 4-5 days have suddenly had HDMI out mysteriously stop working and have been unable to detect the previously fine HDMI displays in Xserver [09:03] how can i run graphics prog in ubuntu [09:03] <[]zombie> maginot: ipblock was blocking my laptop! dunno why it just started doing that in the past week after working fine for months :P ... anyway thanks for pointing me in the right direction! [09:03] sa1: Gimp [09:03] sa1: Inkscape [09:03] []zombie, you're welcome =) [09:04] maginot: I'm trying compat-wireless [09:05] plz help me [09:05] matteo1990, it looks like the only driver for that card is the xorg r128 one, but that should allow you to enable desktop effects [09:05] hi.. where is mini cd image for 10.04 beta 1? [09:05] how can i exec my graphic prog in ubuntu [09:06] neure: #ubuntu+1 [09:06] !gimp | sa1 [09:06] sa1: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [09:07] johntramp, looking to my setup here, ubuntu doesn't seen to support hfs+ partitions, but like I can't do any test here ( I don't have a mac) you can try in the console: #mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdg1 /mnt you may try from sdg1 to sdg6 like showed in dmesg [09:08] meatbun: yeah i have tried that and it gave me mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1 [09:08] johntramp, if work, no error will be displayed and inside /mnt will be the content of the HD [09:08] meh. I'm not going to go to the trouble to compile the latest kernel just to get my headphones working. I suppose I can do without them for now. maybe I can even try one of them new fangled usb headphones [09:08] i will probably just leave it and ask her if i can format the drive, otherwise just not bother with it [09:08] thanks for your time maginot, much appreciated [09:08] maginot, thanks for your help earlier [09:09] bootninja, well, I had some issues with my HDA intel in the past too.. only when I made a fresh install of ubuntu the problem was gone... [09:10] Hi. can someone tellme how i can check the brand for my video card?? [09:10] ?? [09:10] hahaha [09:10] maginot, which version you running? [09:10] video cards = ati or nvidia [09:10] dioel: in terminal lspci [09:11] johntramp, yeah, is supposed the easier thing you could try, after that to get the proper support you could recompiled the kernel, thats guaranteed to work since it has HFS+ support there [09:11] ok thanks [09:11] bootninja, 9.10 [09:12] maginot, what make is your computer? [09:12] johntramp: ok that's nice [09:12] johntramp, this may be interesting to you: http://superuser.com/questions/84446/how-to-mount-a-hfs-partition-in-ubuntu-as-read-write [09:13] hi, i am having trouble removing a route, I keep getting a 'no such process' error message: route del 169.254.0.0 [09:13] SIOCDELRT: No such process [09:13] does anyone know what I am doing wrong? [09:13] aboeing, route del 169.254.0.0 gw 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 [09:14] route: netmask 0000ffff doesn't make sense with host route [09:14] maybe when I get home I can boot the lucid live environment off my usb stick and see if I still have the headphone problem. [09:15] aboeing, route del 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 try this [09:15] route del 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 [09:15] route: netmask 0000ffff doesn't make sense with host route [09:15] aboeing, well, Im more used to ip route, so ip route del 169.254.0.0/16 will work [09:15] aboeing, what's the route as per 'route -n' ? [09:16] unop, he is just trying to remove a non valid ip from its routing table [09:16] here is my xorg.log, anyone can say me if i have already the proper driver? max resoultion is 800x600 and if i try to enable desktop effects i get "no suitable driver", all the whole desktop is laggy http://paste.ubuntu.com/406924/ [09:17] I'm having a lingering problem setting the clock right. I believe this is a GNOME issue, but does anyone here have any suggestions for troubleshooting? [09:17] bootninja, this is what my lsmod shows related to hda http://maginot.pastebin.com/GxLLEhjF [09:17] bootninja, i have just posted my xorg log, take a look plz :D [09:17] maginot: thanks, that worked. if you remember my earlier problem (can't ping google) then this is the output you requested: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406926/ [09:17] matteo1990, reading it now. [09:18] unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406926/ has the output of ip route show, which has now had that route removed [09:18] aboeing, I think there are some conspiracy with this box... everything is right, like it should... this ip address was gave by you network DHCP server? [09:18] matteo1990, it looks like you're using the generic ati driver, when you should be using the r128 driver. [09:19] maginot: haha, I agree. no, it is static IP. i actually have a nother linux box on the same network, but with DHCP - same issues! === tarzeau_ is now known as tarzeau [09:19] as root, you need to edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf so that the Driver "ati" [09:19] instead reads Driver "r128" [09:20] aboeing, what you have on /etc/host.conf ? [09:20] hi all.....i'm facing prob in ubuntu..there is no sound output frm my speakers.. [09:20] then kill your xserver and relog into gnome [09:20] plz tell me how to run C++ Graphics programs in ubuntu [09:20] tulsi, if you've got the snd_hda_intel chip, then good luck, I'm having sound problems also [09:20] bootninja, ok, how to install it? [09:20] tulsi, in terminal try speaker-test [09:21] order hosts,bind [09:21] multi on [09:21] matteo1990, you shouldn't need to install anything, just edit your xorg.conf [09:21] aboeing, Its okay.. too! =) [09:21] aboeing, I suppose you are running ubuntu ? [09:22] ohwell. i need to head off now anyway, thank you so much for your help maginot.

[[How do I know? He said if it freezes and cntl-SysRq+REISUB does not get a reboot then I do.]] OK tell me something I can deal with please. [09:22] matteo1990, if there's a gui way to change your xorg driver, I'm afraid I don't know it [09:22] cya [09:23] bootninja, no problem, what is the path of xorg.conf? [09:23] /etc/x11/xorg.conf, probably [09:23] purplebluesilver, your capslock light will keep blinking [09:23] if not, then try locate xorg.conf [09:23] I just realized my pulse audio output comes with a faint highpitch hiss .. I recognized it when I switched to alsa (thus losing surroud sound) in mplayer. So the choice is : Hissing, or no surround ..? :) [09:23] any torrent client supporting socks for all traffic? [09:24] nope, that doesnt happen. (((oh the joys of inconsistent but sincere help here)) It's bee over a week working at this problem. [09:24] Siegfried: azureus [09:24] chelz, thanks! only that one? [09:24] i saw transmission only uses socks to connect to the tracker, such a shame :( [09:24] purplebluesilver, at least we're free. you'd get the same inconsistent help from the folks at microsoft or dell and you'd have to pay for the privilege :) [09:24] bootninja, i am on ubuntu 9.10 non xorg. conf under /etc/X11 O.o [09:25] purplebluesilver, you didn't tell us what problem you are having ... I just told you what happen when you have a kernel panic =P [09:25] Is there any way to somehow throttle copying / extracting files? [09:25] matteo1990, go to terminal and type locate xorg.conf [09:25] My whole system slows to a crawl, apps I already have open stop responding etc [09:25] Hi, how do I check the current network speed in Ubuntu Server 8.04.4? [09:25] hi plp [09:25] Siegfried: i know that one does for sure. you might try looking for top linux torrent clients then checking one by one which does what you want [09:25] matteo1990, xorg doesn't need anymore xorg.conf, only if you have any specific configuration [09:25] bootninja, ^ [09:26] hi, i have a iptables script that looks like this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qmeU2X0K i would like to block tcp ports 6881-6999. Please can someone help?

[09:28] oops want to block them for incoming on INTIF="eth1" [09:28] maginot, i get "atal server error: [09:28] Server is already active for display 0 [09:28] " when i try sudo X -configure [09:28] im having some problems with dual screen on nvidia drivers on 8.10, Primary is working fine, secondary is detected, when secondary is enabled there are 'warping' diagonal bars that do seem to represent the screen. Any clues on what might be wrong? [09:29] Does anyone have an explanation for Java applets suddently not working on Sage-4.3.3, while they work perfectly well on any other webpage and it worked yesterday just fine? [09:30] matteo1990, yep, you must do that on an tty screen, no X server must be running, go to the console and type gdm-stop as root, you will go to a black screen and you must use the command there... but you configuration is wrong because you need the official drivers... [09:30] pozic: you could check if any updates were installed [09:30] chelz: how? [09:30] hello [09:31] matteo1990, what video card you have? If is ATI download their official driver, works pretty good, if it is NVIDIA do the same... you will have to configure both in the tty screen AFAIK [09:31] how to change firefox icons? 'Back', 'Home', 'Refresh' etc [09:31] anybody get smbclient working between linux and windows 7 ? [09:31] chelz: in fact, it works even on the Sage website.

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [09:36] maginot: i am saying, after installing three of them [09:36] maginot, i have an ATI rage 128. It seems that it should work out of the box with r128 xorg driver. But i have installed the generic ati driver, here is my xorg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/406924/ I have launched Xorg - configure, how can it help? (i have a xorg file in my home nw) [09:36] How does Ubuntu's runlevel works? apparently runlevel 2 = init 5? [09:37] !runlevels | danx [09:37] danx: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [09:37] maginot: besides i don't some theme, i like default one, it's jst icons in linux version of firefox kinda suck [09:38] chelz: so what runlevel gives me multi-user support but no X server? 1? [09:38] matteo1990, open the xorg.conf file that is in you home directory, see if it has any Section "Device" and change Driver "ati" to Driver "r128" if you preffer using that [09:38] I figured it out. ethtool., ok thanks [09:38] danx: i am not sure [09:38] Fill23, I really don't know how to change them manually, maybe try #firefox here or in the irc.mozilla.org network [09:38] danx: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [09:38] hi all [09:38] maginot: ok thx [09:39] I play a lot of commertial games and it's my understanding that one reason games are not usually ported to linux because of direct x. Would WINE be more compatible with these commertial games if direct x was installed into it? [09:39] chelz: what confuses me the most is I see all rc.d's [09:39] I can't for the life of me make my headless ubuntu box a VLC server. [09:39] danx: since 1 is single user, and since all levels are the same other than those, it probably doesn't matter [09:39] do eny one now eny good chat server im soo bored [09:39] duckwars: you have to EARN it [09:39] mouse_, thats not a direct x problem only, you have to port many other things, programming on linux is different them windows [09:39] !ot | Insane_clown [09:39] Insane_clown: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[09:40] got a problem with ma sis graphic card [09:40] ok tnx [09:40] mouse_, about wine is better ask on #winehq [09:40] colors doesnt look good [09:40] if I want to use HTTP steraming with VLC does that mean I have to have an apache2 server going? [09:40] maginot, okay thank you. [09:42] my sis graphic card do not work right [09:42] dioel: do you know what card? [09:42] take a look [09:42] I'm using thunderbird 3.0.3 and I set up a news server. however it says xxx:563 uses an invalid security certificate. all the settings are right. what can I do now?

I see in the link you gave me that rc2.d == 3,4,5... so I guess I'll have to edit rc2 manually... it's really weird how debian/ubuntu work in this matter, thanks for the help [09:43] gottto: u know what could be? [09:43] dioel, are you sure its the video card problem and not some display configuration ? [09:43] danx: well probably don't edit 2. edit one that the system doesn't rely on. unless you plan to primarily use your own runlevel [09:43] well.. [09:43] danx: If you don't want X, simply disable it for the runlevel of interest. You can use the update-rc.d utility instead of manually editing the symlinks. [09:43] Is there a way to stop windows from being dragged outside of the screen? [09:43] dioel: and what driver shows up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [09:43] danx: what os is this ?

[09:44] duckwars, are you using ubuntu ? Just apt-get install vlc should do the trick [09:44] linxeh: there is no need to act/be a smartass, I've edited inittab files in other distros, I hadn't need to do it in Ubuntu until today. rob_p_ thanks, I'll try that [09:45] maginot: yea I already did that, but that just installed it, it doesn't make it serve up content or install a daemon... does it?

I can hear my guitar through my sound card, but I can't seem to record it [09:50] the problem is that the colors of the screen doesnt look rigth [09:50] Is there any substancial difference between presing the power-button and executing the according operation from the menu? I'm asking because ONLY if I hibernate by pressing the button nm-applet requires re-authorization for the default keyring - otherwise it doesnt .... AT GUNBERT! [09:50] i just migrated from windows [09:50] ... [09:50] n i got this issue [09:50] dioel: looks like it is using the right driver - I'll google [09:50] dioel, it really looks like a display problem problem, but, if you think your driver isn't working, use the one provided by sis [09:50] guntbert that is, sorry [09:51] sis dont have a linux suport for this one [09:51] i searched but dont found [09:51] sis - they still exist? [09:51] :D [09:51] yea men Xd [09:51] ManDay, yes, there is. The powerbutton on the box make an acpi call direct === gui_ is now known as kryl [09:51] ManDay: in my experience those events invoke different handlers - though I have no idea which and why [09:52] hi all [09:52] maginot, it seems that i have already r128... If i run glxinfo i can see that i have acceleration. I can't still enable desktop effects adn the whole thing is a bit laggy. [09:52] maginot sounds like a thorough answer to start from. any idea what might cause this "problem" to happen? any way to associate the pwer button with a "non.direct" acpi call? [09:52] gottto: can i send u a pic, for you to view my problem?? [09:53] matteo1990, your default driver that is being used is ati, not r128, its on you logs... [09:53] matteo1990, pastebin the xorg.conf generated but X -configure [09:53] guntbert, yeah it feels like the keyring / nm-applet isnt properly informed about the hibernation process so authz get messed up [09:53] Q: cp is single-threaded and single-processed, correct? [09:54] dioel: don't bother - lots have that prob - sis graphics aren't good [09:54] :D [09:54] silicon systems that was, wasnt it? :> [09:54] ManDay: on the other hand - suspend from the menu and closing the lid usually do the same -- here at last [09:54] Q: Is there any easy way to copy files in multithread/multiproecssed? [09:54] gottto: so what can i do? [09:55] man the last time i had an SIS was a IG chip on a '98 laptop [09:55] dioel: one min - checking that out [09:55] ok [09:55] guntbert, "do the same" in terms of what happens or of how exactly it happens - because for me i think the issues is how exactly the calls get made as maginot pointed out [09:56] may be off topic... how do I get a list of all smuxi avaivlabe freenode channels? [09:56] maginot, http://pastebin.com/KeDaBsbz thats the file named xorg.conf.new appeared in my home after the xorg -configure [09:56] how can i get pigin to record chat logs, preferable with a date/timestamp for each message??? [09:56] hihihi100, /msg alis help list [09:57] hi [09:57] ManDay: I never investigated - only found out that it seems not to matter if I close the lid or select "suspend" - but you will have to ask the channel again for details - in this regard I'm only a consumer [09:57] dioel, is an pcie or pci board? [09:57] ok [09:57] thx [09:57] guntbert, i can only say that the action which occurs if you close the lid is configurable in the pm [09:58] maginot: i cant tell.. I have an acer aspire 5000 if that helps [09:58] matteo1990, your problem was not being able to set the resolution more them 800x600 right? [09:58] ja660k, tools -> preferences -> logging .. to view them, open up a contact and then Conversation -> view log [09:58] dioel, well, I can't tell you too ;) [09:58] ManDay: yeah - but if the menu calls exactly the same... ? [09:58] dioel: what resolution are you running at? - 1280x1024 or similar? [09:58] maginot, and the whole laggy thing (i have a 128 MB card) [09:59] dioel, your lspci show to possible kind of cards [09:59] unop, are they saved to file, i need to go through a text file and extract dates for my Perl assignment [09:59] guntbert, thats what maginot said, the calls to the acpi might be different at the end [09:59] ja660k, yes, they are saved in ~/.purple/ somewhere - shouldn't be hard to find. [09:59] unop, thanks :) [09:59] ManDay: and that is more than I "know" about that - please ask the channel again [10:00] ja660k, ~/.purple/log/$PROTOCOL/$USERNAME [10:00] gottto: im using an 1280x800 [10:00] unop :) [10:00] can only reask: Does anyone know how to make pressing the power button behave EXACTLY the same as selecting "hibernate" from the menu?? [10:01] dioel: it will work better at 1024xsomething or use the vesa driver - that's the advice on yhe net [10:01] maginot: VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [10:01] *the [10:01] ManDay, from bios , you can set sleep not hibernate though [10:01] maginot, Ideas? In the file there is "Driver "r128"" [10:01] dioel, just like what I said [10:01] gottto: who i get the vesa driver?? [10:01] matteo1990, yeah, just preparing it to you [10:02] indus, what d you say? [10:02] maginot: ? [10:02] ManDay, in bios you can configure how power button works [10:02] dioel, your lspci show tWo possible kind of cards [10:02] I had a typo =X [10:02] ManDay, shutdown or sleep depending on bios [10:02] dioel: you have it - you need to make a xorg.conf file and list that as the driver [10:02] hibernate iam not ssure [10:03] indus, ok than i take it the PM-settings change the bios flag through the ACPI, that doesnt appear to be suficient tho. If it's true what you say then I want to know : [10:03] How to override the BIOS determined behaviour of the power button [10:03] (custom procedure, so to say) [10:03] ManDay, bios itself gives you options [10:04] ManDay, sleep or shutdown etc [10:04] ManDay, check in bios [10:05] i need to recompile php with the mcrypt module... does anyone know how to do that [10:05] olaaa [10:05] and is there a way to know what was my previous compile settings [10:05] gottto: it itsnt the resolution.. how do i make an xorg file? [10:05] wenos dias [10:06] olaa [10:06] indus, there is no "custom action" tho. I'm really not an expert at ACPI but it appears that if I press the PB the acpi sends an interrupt to the kernel which then RECKLESSLY hibernates - as opoosed to choosing "Hibernate" from the menu which softly instructs all programs to terminate correclty -> default-keyring DOESNT break! [10:06] dioel, X -configure [10:06] dioel: in terminal Xorg -configure [10:06] decid algo [10:06] ManDay, hmm no idea about that [10:06] I have a bunch of packages that provide some metadata and configs. There is also a tool (part of another pkg) that can process these files. [10:06] ManDay, iam a noob [10:06] depend on the pkg that provides the tool?)? Any other more elegant or The-Debian-Way of doing the same? [10:06] indus, Ill ask in #linux [10:06] What is the way to make the metadata packages run the tool upon install? Do I merely make a call to the tool from the postinst script (and [10:06] anyone knows about dummykey? [10:07] acpid? [10:07] ManDay, maybe #kernel too [10:07] gottto, maginot: it shows an error [10:07] ManDay, ubuntu kernel rather #ubuntu-kernel [10:07] olaaaaaa [10:07] bugz [10:07] dioel: tell us more :) [10:08] hi everyone [10:08] What could be the cause of no FN control brightness on Ubuntu? [10:08] dioel: you need to not have X running [10:08] it says that the server is already active for display 0 [10:08] maginot, still here? :) [10:08] should have said that... [10:08] lauriya este server es en ingles [10:08] is this ubuntu server? [10:08] matteo1990, try http://pastebin.com/fXqZWZ24 and see if anything get changed [10:08] debes ir a uno en español [10:09] !es [10:09] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[10:09] gottto: it says that the server is already active for display 0 [10:09] dioel, you have to stop the X to do that... gdm-stop normally do the tricky [10:09] ok.. [10:10] maginot: stop it from the terminal? [10:10] dioel, yep, as root [10:11] dioel: you need to logout - hit ctrl+alt+f2 - login and type sudo /etcinit.d/gdm stop - run that command Xorg -configure - type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start and hit alt+f7 [10:11] Hm. I have a laptop running 8.10, with a 60 GB hard drive. 10 GB is my /home partition, 5 GB is the rest of /, and I have a 38 GB "bulk" partition for crap like mp3s, etc, stuff I can re-rip from original media. [10:11] gottto, actually if he is using ubuntu 9.10 there is no gdm stop, only gdm-stop [10:11] I have a USB enclosure with about 80 GB free, formatted NTFS. [10:12] i have a iptables script that looks like this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qmeU2X0K i would like to block tcp ports 6881-6999 on INTIF="eth1". Please can someone help? [10:12] maginot: ok - thnx :) [10:12] How do I a) back up my laptop drive, b) resize the partitions to make / about 10 GB, c) restore from backups if necessary, d) upgrade to karmi?

[10:21] gottto: ok, it is place on vendor name and boardName [10:21] dioel: under there a line starts driver and has sis written there yes? [10:21] matteo1990, you must place xorg.conf.new inside /etc/X11 as xorg.conf, the result will be: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:22] bazhang: Thanks [10:22] maginot, ah ok i am lucky btw XD === peter____ is now known as LucidLynx [10:23] gottto: yes, over that... [10:23] dioel: remove sis and type vesa [10:23] xorg.conf does not exist on this machine, is this normal? [10:24] theadmin: that's the default now [10:24] maginot, should i chmod xorg.conf? [10:24] theadmin: you can make one [10:24] maginot, now is root [10:24] gottto: Hm, and where does X store settings then? :/ [10:24] theadmin: if you read the log it makes it on the fly [10:25] gottto: done, n now?? [10:25] dioel: save and close the file [10:25] gottto: done [10:26] dioel: in terminal sudo cp -v ./xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:26] How do I disable the touchpad and enable a ps/2 mouse on my laptop?

[10:42] matteo1990, did you JUST copied xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? This problem isn't related to any kind of misscofnigure xorg.conf file === dad is now known as Guest53051 [10:42] matteo1990, if is supposed to be a xorg.conf problem removing it from /etc/X11 would be enough to start gdm === ramonb_ is now known as ramonb [10:42] anyone know how much it would cost to move a site shed 100km [10:43] its a 12m x 3m shed [10:43] maginot, i created a new file pasting your text.

[11:09] mansa, again, unsert http_proxy [11:09] *unset [11:09] mansa, you asked how to unset, to unset you must do "unset var" this means, unset http_proxy... [11:10] i mean now when i try to install something it says unable to resolve proxy [11:10] mansa, so maybe your proxy settings is inside /etc/apt/apt.conf [11:10] maginot I got to the ./configure and it says bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [11:10] so then wat do i do [11:11] i have just some files in that directory [11:11] costre: thank you for the update, in that case I won't install it tomorrow and wait till the official normall release [11:11] Duke_, hey which is the package you are installing?? [11:11] Duke_, are you inside the package directory ? So maybe it has no configure... read any HOWTO/INSTALL/README file inside the directory [11:11] Duke_: there usually is a README file inside the directory. Please see that.

I have an application in my Preferences/Sessions (Hardy Heron) that I'm starting up on boot that I want to push automatically to desk 3.

[11:17] theadmin: Yes, I tried Kopete too, it is not good, [11:18] rocket16: lol "report big"... Anyway, to report a bug, try "ubuntu-bug empathy"... Does it work by now, people? AFAIR ubuntu-bug was broken [11:18] theadmin:theadmin: Oh, thanks for the help, :) [11:20] theadmin: Should I try Network Manager? It is purely bad, but has it been improved anyway? [11:20] rocket16: network manager? PPP is STILL broken in it. [11:21] theadmin: Oh! Thanks for the info, I am, really disdatisfied with Network Manager [11:22] rocket16: Well, it works fine for me. But error messages could be a bit more informative :/ [11:22] I mean it only shows "Connection failed", lol [11:25] Oh Yes! I used NM and Empathy is now online!

[11:28] theadmin: Actually, I disabled the Update manager, since Lucid is coming soon, :) [11:29] rocket16_: So what? It won't update you to Lucid automatically. [11:29] chilli0: you are launching " genome-terminal -e 'someprogram' " ? [11:29] Yes [11:29] theadmin: No, I mean, I want to get Lucid as soon as pobssible, and don't want to download much more updates now, :) Beccause Lucid needs a clean install [11:30] rocket16_: It does not, you can update via update-manager to it as well [11:30] erUSUL, Yes [11:31] theadmin: Yes, but then I won't have a CD, and also, if there is a failure in connection, It will get crashed, So, a clean install is better, isn't it?

[12:04] depends on your uses edgy360 [12:04] edgy360: depends what you want to do with your system [12:04] IRC, FTP, webdesign [12:05] email, web browsing (e.g. Twitter, facebook) [12:05] then yes [12:05] yea that is well within ubuntu's scope [12:05] edgy360: I suggest you go slowly and dual boot [12:06] I don't have a big enough hdd [12:06] until you are comfortable with ubuntu [12:06] or if you dont mind the performance it virtualbox [12:06] performance hit* [12:06] I have had Ubuntu on another computer (slower one) but it seemed great [12:06] edgy360: how much HD space do you have? [12:06] 80GB [12:06] vista needs 15 prefers 20 [12:06] edgy360: what kind of webdesign? [12:06] but it came with 2 40GB partions and the main one is full [12:06] edgy360: I have 80GB too and ubuntu works perfectly [12:07] Dazzled: just coding and using GIMP [12:07] all you really need is 10GB for ubuntu (3 for the install ) [12:07] edgy360: ah, okay, I guess no .NET apps :p [12:07] 3 for / 7 for /home IdleOne? [12:07] Ubuntu is currently running on a live disk now on my laptop and it seems 10x faster than Vista [12:08] Emanon: yeah and use some sorta of external storage for any large media files [12:08] which is cool considering it runs slower on a live disk than natively [12:08] would Visual Studio run in Wine because I use it for my work [12:08] !appdb [12:08] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [12:08] edgy360: I use Eclipse with CDT in Ubuntu (for C++) [12:08] edgy360: I'll tell you.

Start using it. :) [12:09] When I do sudo grub it says grub not found. What must be the problem? [12:09] Dazzled would I be able to code C# the same with that? (e.g. visual tools for designing the apps) [12:09] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=892 edgy360? [12:10] yeah that program [12:10] edgy360: tbh, I don't know, C# is still very MS oriented [12:10] edgy360, im just installed guest additions for xp in virtual box.. extremely good for running windows programs [12:10] edgy360: There's Mono, but that didn't work out to well over here [12:10] I might just use my spare xp laptop for coding and switch the main one to Ubuntu :) [12:11] Emanon: Can you help me? [12:11] edgy360: there you go, because you need windows for work I think it is a good idea to make sure you keep the tools and OS you are used to, least until you are comfortable with Ubuntu [12:11] edgy360: tbh, I'd advertise a dual boot, especially when being a student [12:12] Mkools: just ask your question :) [12:12] yea i found when i stopped dual booting and just committed to going penguin i got into it faster [12:12] Mkools: you have the package for grub installed?

[12:30] rocket16: I did that [12:31] but I always need to call gconftool in a terminal [12:31] steelbox: you could clear out all your users setting files to get back to defaults.. sounds like you gotsome config files that are either wrong, or owned by root, or somthoing else weird [12:31] steelbox: Ok, go to System-Preferences-Startup applications, and add "gnome-panels" command there, to the startup file [12:32] rocket16: okay, it's done [12:33] so, I can reboot now? [12:33] steelbox: Ok, then it will work, [12:33] okay, let's go :) [12:33] steelbox: Sure, or you can relog there [12:33] steelbox: Relogging is better to test it, [12:34] hi [12:34] arun__ Hi!

[12:40] Emanon: Or he can download [12:40] oh ok [12:41] Rods_Tiger: gnome is rather lacking in screensaver 'features' theres the xscreensaver package you can install and have more/better controll [12:41] aha [12:41] Rods_Tiger: kde's screensavers are amazingly more usefull :) [12:41] !who | Emanon [12:41] Emanon: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Its got some very nice features in the 4.4 version but lacking in some ways compared to the idiotproffing thats in gnome [12:43] in fact, I need to call the following command : [12:43] except for people that like shiny buttons that look like they're covered in something sticky :P [12:43] gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [12:43] i dont like how they made amarok suck [12:43] and I'd like to avoid calling this command at each reboot [12:43] is it possible?

[12:54] exalt: no, best you cd rc2.d, then ln -s ../xorg_conf xorg_conf [12:54] exalt: if they are in rc.2 then they would get ran at boot up.. or you could put one in rc.local so it gets ran at startup [12:54] err for* [12:54] exalt: 'ln -s onething otherthing' [12:54] exalt: but the rc scripts need tobe rather specificaly written [12:55] ola === choonming_ is now known as choonming [12:55] you dont have dcfldd by default Johnny1, to install it sudo apt-get install dcfldd [12:55] ola [12:55] Dr_Willis: thanx, i8m following a tutorial specially from my laptop, ill follow it [12:55] Emanon, um dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/jonathan/Desktop/iTunes Backup.iso bs=1024 count=1048576 [12:55] um: command not found [12:55] exalt: if its just a few commands to get ran at boot up /etc/rc.local may be easier to do [12:55] can't you just create a new run level and do it that way, have each run a different script or run a script to switch in which ever one is needed [12:55] habla en español [12:55] !es [12:55] Mkools: sorry, back [12:55] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[12:59] Justin22885: it would depend on the exact chipset of the card. [13:00] steelbox: i'd think the easiest solution would be to reinstall gnome and see if that solves anything [13:00] how to do that [13:00] steelbox: as a test.. make a new user and see if it works for them.. [13:01] yeah, good point. [13:01] I don't know how to do that, sorry [13:01] steelbox: if it does.. then you could really clean out all the other problem users settings files and Hopefully figure out what is messed up [13:01] steelbox: 'sudo adduser billgates' [13:01] Dr_Willis: ;) [13:02] i can't connect to ubuntu one :( [13:02] I can't type Alt+Tab now [13:02] obscurant1st: I already followed instructions on this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/407016/ but second last step is giving me problem i.e. chroot.

Don't worry about the 'virus' on the usb key. You're not using windows at the moment.

[13:23] if so, i guess you might have gotten some malware installed in said windows installation. [13:23] sjorsr, same thing with vmware and virtualbox in NAT mode [13:23] Arti: umount it first, then try one of the utilities to remove the partition [13:24] yeah, but is it a windows installation? [13:24] and if so, does it happen with a *fresh* windows installation as well? [13:24] madjoe: ive used it that way in the past. Im testing10.04 right now. so cant test it for you [13:24] anyone know where i can find an openwrt room?

[14:26] boymeetsworld, You sohuldn't need to, it's just two different drivers. You could try the catalyst one, but if things work, I'd stick to it [14:26] does anyone know the answer? [14:26] Azh: it's considered polite to give folks a few minutes to respond to your question. [14:27] oh sorry, sipior [14:27] boymeetsworld, Have you tried real gl effects, like the screensavers etc? === semitones is now known as Guest61368 [14:27] costre, well i checked in applications>other and catalyst control center is working from there [14:27] costre, I don't know how. [14:28] boymeetsworld, Nice, but have you checked that GL is fluid? Try to run the screensavers and see if they are smooth [14:28] run glxgears [14:28] that should show if you have proper hardware acceleration straightaway. [14:28] anyone here have experience building .debs [14:28] or do as sjorsr said :) [14:28] Azh: this guide might help you, if i interpret your question correctly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [14:29] also: glxinfo | grep direct [14:29] <_GoRDoN_> Hi!

[15:12] hcl2: what do you mean pairing? [15:12] no [15:12] phone has bt enabled (to be sent) [15:12] boymeetsworld: you do realize that freecol is in the package manager? [15:12] lucy2: then you can "apt-get source $packagename" and "apt-get build-dep $packagename", then compile it yourself for PPC [15:12] yes [15:12] hcl2: but sending a files from the laptop fails [15:12] boymeetsworld: no need to use the tar.gz at all [15:12] assuming the code compiles on PPC [15:13] ok [15:13] If I install the 10 beta, when the lts releases, will it upgrade, or will I have to install the new version? [15:13] amikrop_: is your phone set to be discovered, and does the PC notify you that it found a new device and asks for a PIN? [15:13] hcl2: maybe I should check if bt is enabled at all in my pc? [15:13] KRiMoRaL: you can upgrade.. thats a priomary feature of the package manager system. :) [15:13] Dr_Willis, yeah but an older version [15:13] hcl2: it is set to be discovered and I don't get notified no [15:13] sharat87: do you have the libopenssl-ruby package installed? [15:13] boymeetsworld: read the docs - it tells the command. i doubt if theres much differance in the new vs older version [15:13] Dr_Willis, and on the website there is a newer version [15:13] mhall119, im gonna try [15:13] amikrop_: from a console, dmesg | grep tooth [15:13] sipior: will check === FunkySayu is now known as FunkyBoulet [15:14] it shoudl say something about HCI initialized [15:14] Dr_Willis, i read them it sais you need Java Virtual Machine version 1.5.0 or above...in order to start with the game [15:14] sipior: no, shall I install it? [15:14] boymeetsworld: yes. You do need java installed. its a java game. [15:14] sharat87: might be a good start :-) [15:14] hcl2: it has several lines [15:14] ok, doing it now :) [15:14] last question, when i start ubuntu 9.10, there are the options at the bottom of the login screen, the ones that say gnome and gnome safe, is there a way to add kde to that menu? i'm relativly new to linux, and would like have the option of floating back and forth without have to do a whole lot of un-understadable configuring :/ [15:15] Dr_Willis, i should get it from the java website? the newest version? [15:15] hcl2: many things initialized [15:15] HCI device? [15:15] KRiMoRaL: if you install kubuntu-desktop it adds kde to that menu [15:15] L2CAP and RFCOMM ? [15:15] boymeetsworld: openjdk and sun-java are in Ubuntu's repos [15:15] boymeetsworld: no.. USE THE package Manager... [15:15] if so, then you probably have bluetooth enabled on your pc [15:15] hcl2, could i also enter the screen solution just in the xorg.conf? [15:15] Dr_Willis: will it also still have gnome? [15:15] boymeetsworld: you are falling back to your windows habbits... :) [15:15] mhall119, it downloading some thing [15:15] KRiMoRaL: of course. [15:16] hcl2, so that it boots every time with that? [15:16] KRiMoRaL: you caninstall a dozen ddesktops/window managers and most add a proper entry to that menu [15:16] Dr_Willis, well not really but the ubuntu software center doesn;t have the latest things updated.. [15:16] unixp: i think so, that's what the wiki says. you can make the xrandr changes permanent by adding them to xorg.conf. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.working first [15:16] boymeetsworld: dont worry about the latest of everything. [15:16] !latest | boymeetsworld [15:16] mhall119, i hope anyproblem wont be happed [15:16] boymeetsworld: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [15:16] Dr_Willis, sorry.... [15:16] sipior: perfect, that worked like a charm, thanks a lot :) [15:16] sharat87: no trouble [15:16] awesome! other than gnome, which i love, and kde (which looks cool), are there any other main ones of note worth checking out? === FunkyBoulet is now known as FunkySayu [15:16] Dr_Willis, thanks [15:16] hcl2: yes, all of these you mentioned [15:16] they're there [15:17] boymeetsworld: ubuntu updates the disrto every 6 mo.. so every \6mo basically everything gets updated to the current version [15:17] boymeetsworld: the Java packages in Ubuntu are java 6, if your game only needs java 5, you'll be fine [15:17] boymeetsworld: sudo apt-get install freecol should install the java needed and the version from the repos. [15:17] hcl2: phone tried to recognize the laptop and I was prompted (to the laptop) for a PIN and I got it right [15:17] Any suggestions for an app to re-encode audio files, and place them in folders based on tag info?(arist etc) [15:17] Dr_Willis, ok i will try it:D [15:17] I used dbpoweramp on Windopws [15:17] hcl2: but when I try to actually send files either from phone or laptop they can't even find each other === geo is now known as geo05 [15:18] andrew____: you proberly need to use one tool to reencode.. then a differnt one to sort. [15:18] Dr_Willis: Ah, then any suggestions? [15:18] strange, it sounds like they paired just fine. maybe they paired the wrong way. which device asked you for the pin? [15:18] andrew____: have a look at SoundConverter [15:18] andrew____: nope. I dont bother with reencoding music. it alwyas makes it worse for the most part [15:18] Because alll I want is to do \home\music\Metallica\black album\01.Metallica - Sad But True.wma [15:18] Type thing [15:19] exit [15:19] can anyone tell me how to install a driver for my pcmia card in ubuntu? [15:19] Dr_Willis: I got all my music at 192kb/s wma at the moment, that's adequate for a 2.1 10w system I'm sure [15:19] amikrop_: sudo hcitool conn [15:20] it's a sad day when you get all your music as wma [15:20] Hey guys - I'm trying to get a cool theme for my ubuntu desktop installation. I've tried a few different things. .emerald files and such it just tells me "unable to open file". [15:21] Can someone suggest what i'm doing wrong ? [15:21] fabio333: Blaahh.. Well you're talking about like 40gb of music here, it'd take forever to reget all that [15:21] hcl2: Connections: [15:21] hcl2: and nothing else [15:21] I'm on this link http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/11/27/collection-of-50-best-looking-linux-gnomeubuntu-themes-to-download/ [15:21] I clicked on this theme from that link; http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mira?content=89831 [15:21] where is that ubuntu page that warns about alot of the commands to not enter? [15:22] amikrop_: do you know the name of the program that shows the bt icon in the taskbar (i don't have it and it's hard to follow along w/o it) [15:22] Dr_Willis, the game works now thanks only one thing, i have no sound, i tested my sound and it works fine but in the game nope:( [15:23] hcl2: Bluetooth Properties 2.28.1 [15:23] boymeetsworld: java has some issues with PulseAudio [15:23] mhall119, that finish what i have to do now [15:23] hcl2: I don't know thw name of the executable or the package. [15:23] It is in gnome-bluetooth I guess [15:23] lucy2: look for instructions for compiling [15:23] mhall119, and is there a soulution? the game totaly rocks:( [15:23] mhall119, u mean cmake make and make install ? [15:24] or, you can run "apt-get source --compile $packagename" I think [15:24] Question - Why is it if I'm on a wireless network, close my laptop, and leave, and flip my laptop open again, that it still tries to connect to that old wifi network miles and miles away (which I expect) but then when it can't connect, it asks me for the password. I know the network manager doesn't forget the password, because if I cancel it, go back to the wifi network, it connects fine. But I'm just kinda wondering why NM asks for the password if the SSID [15:24] is out of range. [15:24] boymeetsworld: I had to play around with my pulseaudio settings before it would work, I don't remember which change did it though [15:24] what should happen when i double click on a .emerald file ?? [15:24] - [15:24] in what package do i find pupscan? [15:25] boymeetsworld: you will probably need to install some extra pulse audio tools, they're in the repos [15:25] !find pupscan [15:25] Package/file pupscan does not exist in karmic [15:25] hmm [15:25] whats pupscan anyway? [15:25] yeah, I don't see pupscan either [15:26] mhall119, the pulse audio device choiser? [15:26] hcl2: so, any ideas? :) [15:26] boymeetsworld: something like that, yes [15:26] mhall119, or pulse audio preferences? [15:26] mhall119, the second sounds more suitable:) [15:26] get both and try them out [15:26] mhall119, ok thanks [15:27] Dr_Willis: something that will help me detect drivers to my gprs edge usb card [15:27] i cannot get it to work === z is now known as Guest93761 [15:27] amikrop_: hold on [15:27] mhall119, http://pastebin.org/129419 [15:27] it's package gnome-bluetooth app bluetooth-applet [15:27] Ohh and another thing, even if freecol installed my java , i can get java browser games to work, why? [15:27] Hi, i need help, is there any way in ubuntu to reveal pppoeconf's connection details like the password? i forgot it and can't restore it :( [15:28] !find gkdial [15:28] Package/file gkdial does not exist in karmic [15:28] quit [15:28] boymeetsworld: java games? you sure they're not flash games? [15:29] quit [15:29] mhall119, yes they are java...i can pm you the site... [15:29] lucy2: you'll need to talk to the package maintainers and/or developers then [15:29] Hey Hey, quick Q - I have an ATI Radeon 2100, what driver should i be using "radeon" or "ati"? the reason I ask is because the 2 left pixels on my screen are a purple line all the way down [15:29] they're compiling it for x86 specific instruction sets [15:30] which won't work on PPC [15:30] boymeetsworld: no need, I believe you [15:30] ok thanks [15:30] amikrop_: same problem here. I can find the phone, enter the PIN, but when I send files to my phone it times out [15:30] or is this not related to that, and to something else? [15:30] mhall119, ok yhanks [15:30] lucy2: if you're lucky, those are optimizations you can live without [15:30] exit [15:30] if you're unlucky, it'll require code changes before it will compile for PPC [15:30] mhall119, :) thank you, i'm not an advance user but trust me it's java, the aplets on the website do not start..they remain grey.... [15:31] Hello [15:31] boymeetsworld: wait, so were java games working before or not? [15:31] mhall119, nope :) [15:32] ciao [15:32] mhall119, java games weren't working, because i didn;t had java, now i have it i think because i installed freecol from the terminal and it got java too because it is a java game:) [15:32] Question - when I suspend my computer that was on a wifi network and travel miles away and open it back up, my laptop tries to re-connect to the other SSID I was just on. That's normal. Okay, fine. But why does network manager come up asking for the password to an SSID out of range? Is there a reason for this? I know it doesn't forget the PW, cause if I cancel and go back to the network I was just on, I connect fine. [15:32] please, can anyone answer me, i'm desperate :( [15:32] boymeetsworld: you'll need to restart Firefox to know if it installed the java browser plugin too [15:33] !list [15:33] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [15:33] how do I quickly set my environment variables for all my terminals? I would normally stick them in .bash_profile [15:33] java is out of fasion nowadays [15:33] it doesn't seem to work [15:33] arabica: is it? [15:34] maybe [15:34] mreh: ~/.profile would work [15:34] I don't use it, but I wouldn't say that [15:34] flash is the next [15:34] mhall119, restarted but not working, firefox says down" start:applet not initialized." [15:34] arabica: flash what? [15:34] arabica: mreh: that's nonsense. [15:34] oh, for web content [15:34] adobe flash [15:34] it's real in history [15:34] arabica: mreh: also, off-topic :-) [15:34] I have a small Ubuntu 9.10 virtualization cluster using KVM and virtio. One two of the VMs, NSCD and rpc.mountd will randomly lock 100% of the CPU. There is no log generated or errors reported. strace reports the following endlessly "poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}], 3, -1) = 1 ([{fd=11, revents=POLLNVAL}])" Thoughts? [15:34] boymeetsworld: did you install sun-java6 of openjdk-6? [15:34] guessing my problem is a modeline problem? [15:35] mhall119, no.... [15:36] sorry, s/of/or [15:36] mhall119, i don't know what freecol installed... [15:36] Ubuntu has 2 java packages, one from sun, one from openjdk [15:36] openjdk is not free completely [15:36] boymeetsworld: what does "update-alternatives --list java" give you? [15:36] mhall119, i checked ubuntu software center and i have installed open jdk java 6 webstart and java 6 runtime [15:37] arabica: yes it is [15:37] hi all. Can anybody tell me , why ubunu found's only 3,2Gb of memory ( must be 4 Gb ) ????? [15:37] so I have to re-login to set the envvars? ". ~/.profile" works obviously, but I thought a new terminal window would execute .profile, or is that login shells only? [15:37] no, when you want to compile it by source [15:37] mhall119, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java [15:37] arminn: you running a 32-bit install? [15:37] boymeetsworld: try "apt-get install icedtea6-plugin" then [15:37] arminn only 64-bit will show all 4 GB [15:37] arminn: If you haven't got sound and graphic card, ubuntu will use ram memory as sound/graphic card's memory [15:37] arminn, 32-bit Ubuntu? That is normal, can't address more memory that that. Need 64-bit Ubuntu to see all 4 gigs [15:38] Ohh [15:38] arabica: what do you mean? [15:38] S0cr4t3s: Interesting [15:38] see the openjdk website [15:38] Hello all. Does anyone know when you logout using TTY (ctrl+alt+f1) what the best way to log back in is? When I type "exit", sometimes I have to log back in again. Im on xubuntu 9.04 by the way.. === EdgEy_ is now known as EdgEy [15:38] mhall119, installed, when i went to that browser it told me that i need to addons, and i installed the firest, restarted the browser but the second addon it didn't suggested me no more:( [15:38] wensleydale: alt+F7 [15:39] wensleydale, CTRL-ALT-F7 [15:39] arabica: Ubuntu's package uses patches from IcedTea to let you build it using open source code [15:39] wensleydale, you can also use ALT-RIGHT and ALT-LEFT to switch between your ttys [15:39] uhh icetea = chinese [15:39] S0cr4t3s ok will try it here goes.. [15:40] arabica: icedtea is a RedHat project [15:40] Yep, it was simple... I forgot to add one address to config [15:40] redhat is another m$ for me [15:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcedTea [15:41] It possible to update my ubunu ( i686 )to x64 version ? [15:41] arabica: then you are confused [15:41] arminn: I don't think so, no [15:41] no, i am lucid as a baby [15:41] arminn: only with a reinstall [15:41] arabica: that's a very unusual expression. [15:41] thanks 4 answers [15:42] !ot | arabica [15:42] arabica: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:42] Hi [15:42] hi. i wrote this udev rule: ATTRS{idVendor}=="0421", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0042", SYMLINK+="nokia" (lsusb says Bus 006 Device 011: ID 0421:0042) but i dont get a /dev/nokia symlink when i plug in. [15:43] hmm, maybe Ive not asked the right question.. when I press ctrl+alt+f1 it logs me out to a terminal screen, which is very handy. Then to get back to desktop I usually login once then type "exit", but sometimes I have to do this twice or three times.. any ideas for a command to take me straight back to desktop? [15:43] Anyone has installed ubuntu on old PC's? [15:43] Franklin: yeah, I've done it (if you consider a PC from 2001 old) [15:43] wensleydale: Ctrl+Alt+F7 usually gets you back to your desktop [15:43] chx: Do you get any device node at all? [15:43] i f i answer you, ubotu will say i am off-topic [15:44] older than 2001 [15:44] ubottu didn't say it, guntbert said it [15:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:44] i only debian on pentium 2 300mhz with 256mb ram and now 40gb hd, works like charm on base system only [15:44] soreau: yes. i get /dev/ttyACM [15:44] wensleydale: I told you - no command - you didn't log out at all - you just switched to a so called "virtual terminal" - and you switch back witg alt+F7 [15:44] ok will try it [15:44] *wth [15:44] soreau: the very problem is that i need to edit /etc/ppp/peers/fido every time i plug in because the ACM number is growing :) [15:44] What is meant by this error: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error [15:44] *with :-/ [15:44] Franklin: I believe I did it on an older PC too (from <1998), and I think it mostly worked (except for a few driver issues) [15:45] oh yep youre right [15:45] Mkools: possibly that you're trying to chroot into an incompatible environment [15:45] chx: Ah yes, that would suck. I guess the growing number is a driver bug [15:45] Anyone have experience running pulseaudio on win7? [15:45] like x86 to x86_64 [15:45] Flynsarmy: ##windows [15:45] oh i seeee.. its good to know these things. thankyou all! bye [15:45] soreau: might be but for little me writing an udev rule seemed to be an easier route than fixing the driver. [15:45] iceroot, as pulseaudio is a linux thing, it's far more likely linux ppl would have experience doing it than windows people [15:45] I don't think PulseAudio is avalable on Windows [15:45] mhall119: I have done it before it ran . [15:45] well, i will try to install easypeasy, but still don't know if the MoBo is supported [15:46] mhall119: How to solve it. [15:46] Is there a way to change the file association for files (like .mp4) from the standard associated program to another program, like VLC? [15:46] wensleydale: you're welcome :-) and have fun [15:46] Mkools: no idea [15:46] soreau: i can read ASM and C code just fine but i wrote neither in this century so i'd be wary jumping into a driver code. [15:46] Flynsarmy: and this is #ubuntu, not #linux, not #pulseaudio and not ##windows :) [15:46] chx: yea, well maybe try #udev if you cant get it [15:46] hi there, I'm seeing my bandwidth on apt connections to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com degrade rapidly, I'm not sure if it is an intranet problem or not, I'm in a mostly windows office [15:46] anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? [15:46] cheers bye [15:47] iceroot, pulseaudio is the default on ubuntu and ubuntu has a very large community. there was a substancially higher possibility of actually finding someone helpful on this channel. [15:47] the guys in #easypeasy told me maybe, but first ask on ubuntu [15:47] http://pastebin.com/248pitWr [15:47] Flynsarmy: does PulseAudio even run on WIndows? [15:47] how can i get my edge gprs usb card to work in ubuntu? [15:47] the pastebin is my lspci -nn [15:47] mhall119, anyother suggestions? [15:48] does anyone know how to change the file association for a file type? [15:48] mhall119, yes according to wikipedia. also on the PA website it points to here http://www.cendio.com/pulseaudio/ but they don't work on 7 [15:48] the file assoc or the program to read it? [15:48] Can anyone please tell how to solve problem: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error [15:48] boymeetsworld: install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin [15:48] Flynsarmy: it's unlikely anyone here has ever tried [15:49] so you might have better luck in either ##windows (which has a lot of Linux users in it), or directly with PulseAudio [15:49] mhall119, this is the channel i used to find out about the windows port in the first place a year ago - someone had already done it and was showing me how :) thanks anyway [15:49] Mkools, import w.r. stevens [15:49] so i installed compiz-settings-manager… and i enabled a plugin called "reflection". this froze my entire system… and when i startup and gnome loads, it freezes again. no idea what to edit to disable reflection or compiz. [15:50] its not the ~/.config/compiz/config file [15:50] soreau: so that rule should be fine? [15:50] keyvan: chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz.real [15:50] keyvan: it's in gconf most likely [15:51] if you can get to ctrl+alt+f1, run: "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &" [15:51] avegas: ? [15:51] keyvan: Do that from recovery mode, reboot normally, go in and change the setting, then run the same command with +x to re enable it [15:51] ok so i can boot the livecd and then do chmod -x on compiz.real. this makes it so compix cannot be booted? [15:51] keyvan: try getting to ctrl+alt+f1 first [15:51] ok cool [15:51] im going to print this chat log and try it out. anything else i should be aware of? [15:51] if you can do that, you can run metacity instead of compiz long enough to change the settings in compiz-config-settings-manager [15:51] keyvan: Let me guess, intel graphics? [15:52] soreau: its a macbook. not sure what chipset it is……. let me see [15:52] reflection uses pixel shaders I think, which isn't always supported on older or low-end gpus [15:52] mhall119: X freezes when compiz starts so he cant login [15:52] hi, what can i do if the wordpress installation stops at part 2 (password award). Only a blank screen is coming... where can i find the generated password? [15:52] mhall119, installed but still doesn't work:( [15:52] Its a driver bug [15:52] mhall119, restarted the browser....before trying [15:52] boymeetsworld: I'm not sure then, that's what i did [15:53] soreau: yep intel GMA X3100 [15:53] mhall119, thanks for your help I will try to search again for more info maybe post on the forums:) [15:53] soreau: does GDM run compiz? [15:53] keyvan: Yea just make compiz not executable then turn of reflection and reenable it [15:53] if it's only compiz freezing, he should be able to ctrl+alt+f1 [15:54] mhall119: im pretty sure it just clusterfucks the whole graphics driver [15:54] the bug is fixed in 9.04 and 10.01 beta [15:54] keyvan: in that case, do the chmod -x trick === blueghost is now known as No9Day [15:54] i literally cannot do anything. only way to turn off the comp is holding power for 5 seconds [15:54] yep gonna try that now [15:54] avegas: What did you mean? [15:54] thanks a bunch [15:55] keyvan: make sure you chmod -x the file on the HDD, not the liveCD's copy [15:55] hi guys [15:55] could somebody please help me with me gprs/edge usb stick im Ubuntu, please? [15:55] Is there a way to start filebrowser from console (in directory, what youre looking at) ? [15:55] mhall119: yep. ty. [15:56] i'm testing lucid lynx and i encounter a little glitch as for karmic [15:56] Crepy: nautilus . ? :f [15:56] by the way, i changed the GRUB timeout to 0… so is there some key i can hold down to enter recovery mode ? or am i better off using livecd? [15:56] the battery of my ibook g4 [15:56] is not natively detected [15:56] Crepy: "nautilus ." [15:56] Mkools, mostly that that was insufficient information for anyone to be able to help you [15:56] Crepy: try "gnome-open ." [15:56] Crepy: that works on all sorts of files, by the way, not merely directories. [15:57] i would like to fill a bug for that but don't know how since i don't know the package responsible of that [15:57] I want to recursively check every file in one directory to see if an identical copy exists in another directory, and if so delete it. Any ideas how to go about this? [15:57] can somebody tell me why my eeepc is slow when i run backtrack4 [15:57] Thanks for the answers [15:57] avegas: basically I am following instructions for repairing grub2 from livecd on : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [15:57] hackel: identical file name, or identical content? [15:58] mhall119: Both [15:58] sounds like a job for perl [15:58] or python [15:58] I hope you understood what i mean. Im going to example Documents folder by using terminal. But i would like to start same folder where i am, with filebrowser [15:58] avegas: I am not able to go into chroot, but once I have done that. [15:59] avegas: But with live cd of 64 bit [15:59] Hi, I'm having trouble installing bugzilla3 on karmic; /var/lib/dpkg/info/bugzilla3.postinst: Configuration of bugzilla3 failed. Please check if the system requirements are fulfilled. How do I do this? [15:59] by nautilus it will give a little error, and opens home folder, and gnome-open you have to write the path [15:59] theres somne 'dupe' finder tools in the repos.. but ive not used them in ages [15:59] and where does it install? [16:00] does someone here have experience whit backtrack [16:00] hey guys [16:01] how do i connect to a shared forlder on Ubuntu? [16:01] i tried the username and password for the account in the ubuntu, and it didn't work [16:01] what am i missing? [16:01] shared how? [16:02] did you set the password with "smbpasswd $username"? [16:02] you could add a samba password for the user with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [16:02] nobody?? [16:02] Hello, is there any software for creating flash animations in ubuntu/linux? I googled and came up with nothing that seems likely... [16:02] well, i haven't done that ... i just right-clicked a folder, and chose the Sharing option [16:02] i didn't know i neede to do that [16:02] thanks for letting me know [16:02] Martiner: you might be able to get the Adobe products to work under Wine [16:03] otherwise I think it's pretty limited [16:03] photoshop works nicely [16:03] idk bout anythin else [16:03] I think there are tools to make like a flash slideshow of image files [16:03] Yeah, I read about getting those to work, but seems like a real hazzle according to winehqś app listings [16:03] all I did was install wine & run the setup [16:03] Martiner: probably is, send Adobe an email letting them know you'd like a Linux client [16:04] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=23 flash 8 seems to work fine in wine [16:04] hmm [16:04] lol [16:04] yeah! it works now! :D [16:04] i need help to change my kernel. is this possible for eeepc ?? [16:04] thanks a bunch [16:04] Woah. XChat for Ubuntu. First time ever logging onto ubuntu [16:04] not bad :) [16:04] chipcat: change it how, and to what? [16:04] is eeepc off-topic? [16:04] Thanks, Ill try that :) [16:05] arabica: eeepc is hardware [16:05] arabica, not if it's an ubuntu question :p [16:05] grrr [16:05] no eeepc is a notebook from asus [16:05] Disconnected (Remote host closed socket) what's the problem? [16:06] if i don't want to buy a eeepc, am i offtopic? [16:06] arabica: what are you getting at? [16:06] chipcat: change it how, and to what? [16:07] OR Disconnected (Connection reset by peer)?

[16:08] chipcat: change it how, and to what? [16:08] last time I'm asking [16:09] what do you mean mhall119 [16:09] what do you need help with chipcat? [16:09] chipcat: you asked if you can change your kernel [16:10] ahhh [16:10] since the last upgrade firefox is blocking the connections to localhost on port 8123. i d like to know how to re enable them. [16:10] i have installed a linux distro to my eepc but its very slow. [16:10] i have been reading that the cause might be the kernel. is this possble [16:10] firstly you need to download the kernel source from apt-get [16:11] could be, depending how it's configured [16:11] get the kernel source code with this: apt-cache search linux-headers [16:11] then [16:11] chipcat: what distro did you install? [16:11] and version [16:11] find the one that matches the output of uname -a [16:11] bt4 [16:11] Hello all of you vitamin d deprived people [16:11] mhall119: that did not help me... the page at ubuntu.org said this is the best place to start for general help. As well, it mentions there are channels for help with development, but fails to mention specifics. [16:11] chipcat: eeebuntu provides a kernel custom-compiled for EeePC hardware [16:12] mhall119: so, coming here to ask what channel I should be in for dev questions seemed like a general enough question. [16:12] then shouldn't it be working? I dunno about htis eebuntu... i used to have ubuntu installed when i had an eepc and it was regular ubuntu... and it worked fine! [16:12] !backtrack [16:12] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [16:12] ok but i still dont understand how to change it i follow all the instuctions on google but nothing. [16:12] rbellamy: try #ubuntu-dev then [16:12] and asking alis list ubuntu did not return anything, and alist list #ubuntu just listed this channel [16:13] mhall119: perfect, thank you... [16:13] So I just installed Ubuntu onto my laptop and I am wondering or I should say asking what else should I do I want to be able to watch Youtube videos [16:13] rbellamy: alis list uses wildcards [16:13] could somebody please help me with me gprs/edge usb stick im Ubuntu, please? [16:13] /msg alis list #ubuntu-* [16:13] mhall119: aha, thanks [16:13] rbellamy: alis list '*ubuntu*' [16:14] nu2linux: go to Add/Remove (or Software Center, depending on Ubuntu version), and search for "flash player" [16:14] Mhall119 I have 9.10 ubuntu [16:14] nu2linux: System->Administration->Add/Remove Applications [16:15] mhall119: Uh, wrong. [16:15] theadmin: it is on mine [16:15] nu2linux: either system - admininstration - synaptic package manager or applications - Ubuntu software center. [16:15] nu2linux: the package you want is "Adobe Flash plugin" [16:15] q i got a usb key with ubuntu cd on it, how can i know which version it is ? [16:15] Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0471:1237 Philips TalkTalk SNU5630NS/05 Wireless Adapter [16:15] this is the device i cannot get to work [16:15] theadmin: is it called "Ubuntu software center" in 9.10? Mine still says "Add/Remove Applications", but I upgraded from 9.04 [16:16] ninjai are you still there?? [16:16] Yay XD i wrote a URL shortener in bash [16:16] mhall119: Yeah i had that problem [16:16] * mhall119 is doing a clean install of 10.04 when it comes out [16:16] I can connect to the internet via pppconfig. i can ping www.google.com, but firefox says that internet is not connected. What is the problem? How to tell Gnome which interface to use? [16:16] ubuntu 9.10 [16:16] ChildOfGod: are you using a proxy? [16:16] nope. [16:17] i can ping www.google.com [16:17] ok mhall119 what am I looking for when I get to synaptic manager [16:18] mhall119: I'll go for a clean install too :D [16:18] nu2linux: flashplugin-nonfree [16:18] may I ask for recommendation on which is better in performance for computer lab management ? VNC or italc? [16:18] theadmin: I do that ever couple releases, just to clean up my harddrive [16:19] researcher1: No idea who italc is, VNC is pretty well known [16:20] italc is a school/lab management program, it's pretty good I hear [16:20] hello [16:20] nubuntu: Hi there [16:20] researcher1: if you want help with italc, ask in #edubuntu [16:20] What would happen if I click on all of them [16:21] how i install alsa then terminal? [16:21] Can i? [16:21] nu2linux: it would isntall a bunch of stuff you probably don't need [16:21] [ 3029.284188] zd1211rw: probe of 2-1:2.1 failed with error -32 [16:21] can I run skype on ubuntu? [16:21] martianlobster: yes [16:21] i get this error when i try to initalize the driver for my edge/gprs usb driver [16:21] mhall119: thanks, I will start googling that now [16:21] I am also excited that I here according to my friend who got me on this Ubuntu that there are options to make the windows on a cube [16:22] Hi. I just upgraded to lucid on my netbook and now my touchpad shows the annyoing behavior that the pointer is suddenly appearing on the screen where I point my finger on the touchpad. How can I turn that off? [16:22] how do you do that ? [16:22] I dont know install alsa "terminal" [16:22] mhall119: thanks for the direction, they got me pointed in the right direction [16:23] nu2linux: try pressing ctrl+alt+right_arrow [16:23] It changed to another desktop but no cube [16:24] hello! What is the easiest way to assign programs to certain workspaces? [16:24] I can't wait till I learn everything about this Ubuntu [16:24] nu2linux: System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig [16:24] under desktop [16:24] desktop cube [16:24] nu2linux: well ubuntu is a great place to start, probraly the most newbie friendly linux, and a huge community. Hope you have fun! [16:24] hello. does someone here implemented network authentication + nfs to have a central /home and user database for all the office desktops? [16:25] How do I uninstall Heroes of Newerth(not apt-get installation)? [16:25] ihernandez: #ubuntu-server [16:25] thanks erUSUL [16:25] ihernandez: Yes. [16:25] domedagen: find out if the installer has a --uninstall or --remove option ? [16:25] any recommendation for personal wiki softwares? [16:25] domedagen: non apt-get like from deb package or from installer or from source? [16:25] deegee, what worked better? openldap + nfs? kerberos?. [16:25] Yes he gave a bunch of these "what he call live cd" and Ubuntu seemed pretty cool sounding so I went with that one [16:26] deegee, documentations doesn't looks straightforward [16:26] theadmin from source [16:26] domedagen: Just do "sudo rm -rf installdirectory" [16:26] There was one that had mint in it === maciek_ is now known as Guest80732 [16:26] and then there was another one wait let me get them [16:26] hi,all ,any recommendation for personal wiki softwares? [16:26] theadmin: ok thanks === Cain` is now known as Cain [16:26] nu2linux: live cd's are very handy to keep around, they make great recovery/emergency disks for all operating systems, not just linux. [16:26] is it possible to reply to a particular persons nick to keep communication focused?HOW? [16:26] mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, it has it's own artwork and includes extra packages [16:27] fungo_: wiki on a stick is not bad, but it won't run on a regular server, it's kinda for local use only [16:27] theadmin how do I know what "directory" it is? [16:27] ihernandez: I'm using openldap + nfs with pretty good success. [16:27] researcher1: use their name in your reply, it'll highlight your message in most clients [16:27] domedagen: it usually is somewhere in /opt or /usr/local [16:27] ok [16:27] researcher1: you can private message them with /msg but if you put their name followed by semicolins like i did for you, then it will highlight the message] [16:27] Ok he gave me Simply Mepis, Opensusu, xubuntu and one thts say linux mint [16:28] researcher1: Uh, put the nick in front of message? [16:28] Anyone here using Rhthembox on Lucid Beta 1? Need to ask something [16:28] nu2linux: Opensuse, not susu [16:28] Opensuse sorry I misspelled that one [16:28] theadmin:just for personal use [16:28] hey is there any application launcher built in? like can i hit a hot key and type cal enter to go to calculator [16:28] ok.Thanks [16:28] deegee, perfect. so your users can use ldap users on login? sounds great [16:28] johnnyCbad_: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support [16:28] fungo_: Should do for ya [16:29] whee can I expect a guidance and tutorial on NIS? [16:29] nu2linux: Simply Mepis, xubuntu, Mint, and ubuntu are all great starting distros. Try em all if you feel like it, see which one you like the best. If you want a summary of different distros and to see their popularity, distrowatch.com is a great website. [16:29] ihernandez: Yes, all the users are in an ldap server. PAM checks against it. Everyone can sit at any machine, get all their stuff. [16:29] WhiteDawn: "starting"? I think Ubuntu is good for normal users, too, not only for newbies [16:29] theadmin:tks [16:29] By the way when I installed Ubuntu did the process confiq to my pc and prechoose my drivers that I need or not [16:30] deegee, thanks a lot. really what i wanted! [16:30] hey is there a launcher program I can get or is there anything built in where i can type what I want and it will be launched? [16:30] ihernandez: Your welcome. [16:30] theadmin: well there great for all uses, but ubuntu and the like are very newbie friendly because of how they manage programs and their very nice community [16:30] *You're [16:31] I will WhiteDawn [16:31] tt_ alt+f2 ? [16:31] WhiteDawn: Oh, community. I love Ubuntu's. [16:31] tt_, alt+f2 and there is an applet for gnome panel [16:31] 大家好 [16:31] 没人说话啊 [16:31] ijaymy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:32] :-D [16:32] ijaymy: nope [16:32] ijaymy, here is english only... [16:32] and it wouldnt launch "calculator" [16:32] tt_, check out gnomedo then [16:32] i am sorry [16:32] ok [16:32] thanks [16:32] how do i change what runlevel i boot into? i want 3 but i have 5 now (i don't want X/gdm) [16:32] I think i have had that and it was what i wanted [16:33] nu2linux: I heard quite a lot of praise for linux Mint, its baised off ubuntu too so it be cool to try it for your next distro [16:33] where it is chinese [16:33] Does anyone know the easiest way to assign programs to certain workspaces? [16:33] hcl2: ubuntu dosent use runlevels like that [16:33] chinese [16:33] where [16:33] VoJe: compiz has some settings to put specific windows in specific locations [16:33] ijaymy, /joing #ubuntu-cn [16:33] and to comment on someone deciding on linux distro, I found that between mint an ubuntu, ubuntu was the way to go for support. [16:33] ijaymy, /join #ubuntu-cn [16:33] ZykoticK9:thank [16:34] Is compiz a default app in 10.04 beta1, or do i have to download it? [16:34] Dr_Willis: sure it does, vi /etc/init/gdm.conf it says "stop on runlevel [016]" [16:34] VoJe: its been the default for the last 3 releases [16:34] or compiz-settings [16:34] hcl2: not really.. [16:34] !runlevels [16:34] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [16:34] VoJe, it's default - but you still need to install ccsm etc. [16:34] how is that not a runlevel ? [16:34] [ 3029.284188] zd1211rw: probe of 2-1:2.1 failed with error -32 [16:34] i get this error when i try to initalize the driver for my edge/gprs usb driver. can somebody try to help me get it to work? [16:34] ZykoticK9, should i get gnomedo from software manager or type something like sudo apt get in the terminal [16:34] ok, that was what i was pondering [16:34] hcl2: its not using runlevel 3 as 'boot with no X' like other disrtos do [16:34] ok, that was what i was pondering.9thanks [16:35] tt_, it doesn't make any difference, both coming from same spot - so whatever you feel comfortable with [16:35] VoJe: Not compizconfig-setting-manager, no, and lucid support in #ubuntu+1 btw [16:35] well, how do I get it to not boot up X/gdm ? forget the terminology [16:35] oh, sorry. Thanks! [16:35] hcl2: you use upstart configs to disable gdm service [16:35] well just for suture refrence, how close was I? [16:35] hcl2: see /etc/init/ rename the gdm.conf to be gdm.DONTSTART or silimer [16:36] is there an irc channel for wine problems, or could I ask it here? [16:36] Busata: #winehq [16:36] thanks [16:36] #wine kicked me out :( [16:36] Dr_Willis: [16:36] Busata: That's nothing related to THAT wine lol [16:36] actually i should go find that out thanke [16:36] hcl2, to disable GDM you can use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" [16:36] Which country are you [16:37] ZykoticK9: Ahem, ahem. It's /etc/init.d [16:37] I have no idea what #wine is about, except a guess that's about the real one [16:37] I used Google Translate to chat with you [16:37] theadmin, not for those directions! [16:37] You can speak English too well [16:37] err.. upstart has scripts in /etc/init init.d is for the sysv stuff [16:37] ijaymy: For Ubuntu help in chinese, go to #ubuntu-cn . For just chatting, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:37] Dr_Willis: Oh. I see. [16:38] and sysv stuff is slowly getttingphased out [16:38] Dr_Willis: Don't even know whether that's good or bad :/ [16:38] what do we talk about here? [16:38] what's the most painless way to find files with duplicate file names? [16:38] theadmin: it dosent really matter.. it is whats happening [16:39] hcl2, FYI if you changed the value to "stop on runlevel [0126]" it won't start either [16:39] davrian, here is a support channel [16:39] thanks [16:39] !info fdupes [16:39] fdupes (source: fdupes): identifies duplicate files within given directories. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-PR2-2 (karmic), package size 18 kB, installed size 84 kB === gyyg is now known as gyyrog [16:39] PyroPhelia [16:39] thres proberly some gui 'duplicate file finders' also [16:40] fslint [16:40] upstart can run startup scripts in parallel, sysv runs in serial, which makes upstart faster [16:40] sorry this is for a server, no X [16:40] also, upstart can be triggered by events [16:40] so you can say "startup this service only after networking has started" [16:40] so you don't have to manage numbered file names [16:41] !info fdupes | PyroPhelia [16:41] PyroPhelia: fdupes (source: fdupes): identifies duplicate files within given directories. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-PR2-2 (karmic), package size 18 kB, installed size 84 kB [16:43] Dr_Willis, unless the program has been updated since I last used it, that won't be very effective. You see the problem is a user (officer of the company so I can't argue with them) has made duplicates of files in multiple places in his direcotry. However the problem is now the files are in different versions. so they won't be 1:1 duplicates. they are the same only in name so I need to find the same file based on the name, and then [16:43] delete everything all of the older files [16:44] PyroPhelia: theres 'approximate file duplicte finder tools ' also in the repos [16:44] hi there [16:44] sounds like a job for a fancy bash script then [16:44] how is it going? [16:44] since you dont really want 'duplicate' files. :) [16:44] <__maroc__H> hello [16:45] yellabs: This is a support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [16:45] can i rescue data that was formerly fat 32 but now ext 3, could i rescue that?

To get more info on that, type "/msg nickserv help register" [16:49] I called toshiba to find out what graphics card is in my laptop first I get one person who was rude but gave half of the name and then I called support and they seem not know [16:49] researcher1, There are numerous places online. LDAP alone can take years to fully understand [16:49] __maroc__H, it's actually ##c if memory servers me correctly. you also have to registered [16:50] thanks for the info , i will check it out [16:50] arakthor, yes, is ##c, but just /join #c will work [16:50] what is up with that so How can I find out what graphics card is in my system using Ubuntu [16:50] hi, there is an script I want to be runned daily. I copied it to /etc/cron.daily but It is not being executed (doing ./script.sh works fine) [16:50] nu2linux, lspci [16:50] maginot, not for me. I get the same error, and I am registered. ##c works fine though [16:50] nu2linux: from the command line run "lspci |grep -i vga" [16:50] which one [16:51] arakthor, just joined ##c using /join #c [16:51] lspci or what you said mhall119 [16:51] maginot, you must have something different. I get a message saying it is invite only :s [16:51] arakthor, I don't know... I use xchat if that matter [16:51] maginot, likewise :p [16:52] I am sorry I just got two different answers by two different people [16:52] have a nice day ! [16:52] maginot, it's a mystery I'll never bother to solve at any rate [16:52] nu2linux, lspci will output the hardware information, grep is a filter [16:52] arakthor, neither do I ;D [16:52] nu2linux: my suggestion still uses lspci [16:52] hola todos [16:52] !es | alb2684 [16:52] alb2684: 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. [16:53] it just filters on the term "vga" [16:53] nu2linux, "lspci | grep -i vga" is a full command line [16:53] so you'll only see the line for your graphics card [16:53] unstead of all your hardware [16:53] Can anyone explain to me why such a simple thing as adjusting mouse sensitivity has never worked for me in any distribution of Linux I've ever used? Such a seemingly simple thing... [16:53] lspci means "list pci devices" [16:54] ThJ, conspiracy ? [16:54] Acceleration is one thing but what if you need precision for something temporarily? [16:54] see all your hardware, use lshw command [16:54] Must i escape such characters as ( and ) in the "echo" command? Just to be sure. [16:55] maginot, annoying as "#¤# ... Linux UIs have borrowed tons of other concepts from Windows and other OSes, but mouse adjustments? Naah... [16:55] ThJ, I experienced the same hing yesterday when I changed my mouse .. .but after dialing on both meters wildly, things got the way I liked it [16:55] ThJ, windows took concepts from UNIX [16:55] costre: well, if I turn Accelleration off completely, the Sensitivity slider doesn't do anything. [16:55] alb2684 if u wanna talk in spanish go to ubuntu-es [16:55] Can someone please solve grub boot loader problem? [16:55] ThJ, and windows doesn't have sensibility adjustments out of the box, you always have to use a driver for that [16:56] maginot: UNIX? I suppose. The first versions of Windows were blatant ripoffs of Apple. [16:56] explain your problem Mktools [16:56] ThJ, this is out of subject here... [16:56] maginot: Not true. Any old driverless mouse is adjustable. [16:57] It may not alter the hardware DPI [16:57] offtopic ? [16:57] But I don't care if it does, I just want to slow down my mouse temporarily [16:57] join #ubuntu -es [16:57] Can it be done? Command line?

Admittedly, Windows offers me only one slider, and a checkbox, but does what I am in need of right now. [16:58] soreau: thanks :) it worked [16:59] ThJ, investigate manipulating the synaptics input driver config [16:59] in ubuntu now :) [16:59] * maginot hates people that don't know how to use something and keep blaming its ignorance a system fault [16:59] ThJ, If I max the sensitivity meter, the mouse goes crazy slow and steady === mnepton is now known as mneptok [16:59] maginot: I don't have my digitizer tablet with me, and I want to draw on the computer, so I want my mouse to have no acceleration and a low speed. [17:00] costre: Does your sensitivity slider work when Acceleration is zeroed? [17:00] If i put a shellscript into /usr/bin and make it executable will it work just like other commands? [17:00] However, I think "acceleration" is the wrong term to use. It's the pointer's speed that's in question [17:00] theadmin: yes but it is better to use /usr/local/bin/ [17:00] erUSUL: Huh. Okay. [17:00] well! me's leaving -> see you 2night. [17:00] theadmin: to keep a separation between your own scripts and things that came from repos [17:01] ThJ, It works, yes. But it doesn't do too much [17:01] costre: Yes, I have already turned off Acceleration and it is good, because it does not accelerate. However, it still moves too quickly, the base speed or resolution if you will, is too high. === Cain` is now known as Cain [17:01] ThJ, this is what I have: http://picpaste.com/Captura_de_tela.png [17:02] ThJ, Could be my mouse, but I think it's on a pixle-by-pixle basis when both meters is on minimum [17:02] costre: It seems to me that the so-called Sensitivity slider does absolutely nothing for me under any circumstance and never has, in any Ubuntu version, on any hardware. It practically is a dummy slider for me. [17:02] maginot: No pic here, it says. [17:02] ThJ, My sensitivity slider does lots to affect the pointer [17:03] costre: I wonder why, because only Acceleration has ever done anything for me, and I own several different computers. [17:03] Sensitivity slows down the pointer, increases resolution so to speak [17:03] ThJ, yeah, just updated the picture to English http://picpaste.com/Captura_de_tela-1.png [17:03] It could be my mouse ... MS bluetooth something-something [17:03] costre: the problem is, it never does it for me. [17:03] I am having problems with broken dependencies. Apprently I was careless, and deborphan removed gnome packages. After I try to login (gdm) it flashes a black screen and returns back to the login window. I've tried to force apt-get to resolve the broken dependencies but it refuses to install. [17:04] Packages are: gnome-panel, gnome-applets, gnome-control-center and others. [17:04] costre: Not with any mouse I have used. Same mouse is easily adjusted for speed in Windows and never fails me. [17:04] ThJ, That sucks, then [17:04] Yes, doesn't it... [17:04] Either I have had extremely bad luck, or I am somehow unknowingly buying very bad mice >_> [17:04] ThJ, try to fix the problem don't keep complaining of it... you don't pay to use linux after all [17:04] But I shouldnt have to pay $100 for a mouse to get a speed setting. [17:04] oooh [17:05] finally got it to work [17:05] don't get a GE mouse [17:05] my advice [17:05] maginot, I would, if the XInput architecture wasn't such a complete horror XD [17:05] I once wanted to implement some tablet functionality for Linux and had one look at some source code for it... XInput is not a simple API. :x [17:05] I have an a4tech and this works perfectly for me with both sensetivity and acceleration thingies [17:05] Does anyone know of a instant messenger app that works with a webcam? [17:05] I have a plain old Logitech, the cheapest kind, probably. [17:06] Let me see if it works with my trackpad [17:06] ThJ, my tablet works pretty good, my wacon and my genius [17:06] maginot: yes, but the API, it is complex. [17:07] Perfect :D Now i have my own URL shortener. And it works as a command XDDD [17:07] It's not broken or anything, just... I was put off when I saw relatively simple code for detecting pressure from a tablet [17:07] when you typically install a package that has dependencies, are those additions uninstalled when the package is removed? [17:07] Thanks, erUSUL [17:07] It was umpteen pages long and pretty dense [17:07] I'm off this conversation, I can't understand what you want... is just to talk? so #ubuntu-offtopic is the place [17:07] Eh never mind [17:07] I guess it just doesn't work for me period.

[17:08] ThJ, Half down on page 2 is your solution .. appearantly [17:09] costre: Editing a config file, basically? [17:09] hello, how to install Eterm ? [17:09] When you typically install a package that has dependencies, are those additions uninstalled when the package is removed? [17:09] yehia, you can try apt-get install eterm [17:09] ThJ, Post #14 in that thread I just posted [17:09] Ok [17:10] yehia, if doesn't work try finding the correct work with "aptitude search eterm" === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:10] ynk, If nothing else depends on them, they should [17:10] ynk, I guess that's the difference between remove and remove completely? :) [17:10] remove vs purge [17:11] p eterm - Enlightened Terminal Emulator [17:11] v eterm-backgrounds - [17:11] p eterm-themes - Themes for Eterm, the Enlightened Terminal [17:11] p liblwp-useragent-determined-per - a LWP useragent that retries errors [17:11] yehia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:11] sorry [17:11] yehia, apt-get install eterm will do the tricky [17:11] costre: I see. The only problem is that I only want this setting temporarily. gedit and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace each time I want to change the setting seems a little bit... inconvenient. [17:11] alt-ctrl-bs - wont work anymore either :) [17:11] ThJ, But I guess you can find a middle way that lets you use the sliders to some extent? [17:11] costre: you have an option to "remove" or "remove completely"? [17:12] ynk, In synaptic, yes [17:12] maginot : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [17:12] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

[17:12] yehia, are you root ? ;) [17:12] costre: I suppose. In any case, not very impressive, considering that in Ubuntu's case, there is money backing it, even if I am not personally paying for it. [17:12] yehia: need to be sudo [17:12] yehia, sudo apt-get install eterm [17:12] costre: Apparently, according to what you linked me, it's a regression of sorts. [17:13] ThJ, Seems to have to do with high-end mice with dpi >400 [17:13] The slider must obviously have been tested at one point, but perhaps not recently. [17:13] ThJ, I read that too [17:13] its amazing the # of dpi some of these new mice can do. [17:13] mine have 2000 [17:13] I don't have a high-end mouse, but with the particular settings I use, I can hand-draw very accurately even without my tablet. [17:13] ;X [17:14] This plain old cheap optical mouse is actually fairly accurate in tracing out my motion [17:14] OK I found a graphics driver for my laptop but it is for windows xp can I still use it for Ubuntu so I can change my visual effects [17:14] I can do smooth circles and what not. [17:14] maginot, How fast do you have to move to notice the difference? It's for railgunners in quake, nothing else :( [17:14] :) * [17:14] But I do need to reduce the resolution a bit, basically.

[17:18] how to install totem with xine backend [17:19] freazor, maybe you are using shared wep keys and not open wep [17:19] e01, why not use vlc ? Its plays everything === coolcat_ is now known as Guest93804 [17:19] hello, is there a way of running memtest86 on startup? without having to use a livecd?

[17:20] e01: I don't think so :/ [17:20] Kingsy102: hold shift to get the grub menu at startup [17:20] maginot: what is a shared wep key ? i use a normal 128bit wep key .. and all the other users in my wlan use the same 128bit wep key [17:20] Kingsy102: grub allways run at startup ... but maybe you have the menu hidden. press shift as the machine boots [17:20] e01, vlc have themes too... just install them, but thats up to you [17:21] erUSUL - ok and is memtest86 obvious? or is there a sepcial way of running it? === robbi is now known as Guest9992 [17:21] or is it simply just selectable in a menu?

In that case should I stay with Ubuntu or go with another distro [17:24] Dr_Willis, you still around? [17:24] huh. I can't seem to find mine o_O "lspci | grep 'vga'" returns nothing [17:24] nu2linux, What's the issue? Try envyNG :) [17:24] nu2linux: why would you want to switch ? [17:24] KRiMoRaL: barely [17:25] nu2linux: compiz (responsible of effects) is the same in all diestros. [17:25] nu2linux, its not a distro problem, its up to you video card and you video card driver [17:25] s3 video sort of sucks equally in all disrtos. :) [17:25] oh, s3 .. forget envyNG, then [17:25] How do you do survive? ;) Hey, you mentioned earlier a package that I could install alongside gnome to be able to pick kde instead at the login screen... which was it? [17:25] can I change my graphics card this is a laptop by the way. [17:26] KRiMoRaL: 'kubuntu-desktop' is for the full KDE desktop [17:26] KRiMoRaL: also kde support in #kubuntu [17:26] nu2linux, probably not. [17:26] nu2linux: its probably integrated graphics.. so no.

[17:31] Use theones from nvidia.com at your own risk [17:31] I have a gtx 275... do you think that matters? I wonder why the drivers won't work for me? They worked on 9.10 [17:31] Youtube is not as smooth as in my other laptop that runs windows [17:32] nu2linux: go tell adobe.. its their software [17:32] ok I will do is it smooth on your end Dr_willis [17:32] nu2linux, I was in your situation, Dr_Willis is right...:| [17:32] It said something about checking the jockey log, and I do remember seeing something on the ubuntu site where you can download the beta [17:33] I use Hulu and youtube all the time. The video is fine for me, and im on 64 bit :) [17:33] nu2linux: i rarely bother with flash videos.

After that it stores it and has it locally for all other computers requesting the same package but if you are only preseeding one computer then don't bother with a cache but then again with only one computer, don't worry about preseeding either [19:39] also make sure you have dhcp running.

Java would be very suitable for that scenario [19:47] erUSUL: I know there's mono, but I want something better supported accross servers.

[20:09] Hi, I was told to come here for some help. I'm pretty new to linux in general and I feel really dumb. :( [20:09] Serraphyn ok [20:09] eremite, thanks as well [20:09] Session416: Step one: Ask a question [20:09] Serraphyn i have two ubuntu machines only [20:10] Vigo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/407208/ --> it seems as it's been recognised two times, once as a mouse and once as a kbd [20:10] Session416, ask away, people help with what they can. [20:10] dj_segfault: +1! [20:10] rjb: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [20:10] Serraphyn, though there is no one there hah === jonas is now known as Gazuotas123 [20:10] wait lol [20:10] OK Thanks [20:10] zus, unfortunately it ebbs and flows in that channel, You'll find though that WINE and its related issues are offtopic for here, might try in #ubuntu-offtopic also [20:11] I'm running Ubuntu netbook revolution and I'm having sound issues - mostly the sound doesn't work but sometimes it does. I've been running through a troubleshooting list and it indicates that my soundcard isn't supported, but if that was the main issue I'd think the sound wouldn't work at all rather than intermittently =/ [20:11] Has anyone ever come in here asking where they can buy a copy of your product? [20:11] Serraphyn, thanks i clicked the link you gave wich had the ? as part of the channel name [20:11] Serraphyn: WINE issues are supported here, correct me if I am wrong. Canonical supports all apps that it cleams to in the repos, correct? [20:11] Session416, Not supported doesn't always mean dead parts. [20:12] eremite, I have been told that its not supported here many times by administrators of this channel. [20:12] lantizia_: you can buy a _copy_ of their product. Just go to ubuntu.com and order your dvd [20:12] Session416: Yes, if it works sometimes it's probably supported. When it stops working, try closing Firefox. If that doesn't fix it, try "pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start" [20:12] kushalone: lol I know, I was just wondering if ever came in and asked that question? [20:13] Session416: you're the 100th person to complain about sound and Ubuntu sicne the latest release. Patience will get you answers since so many people have experience with this problem. Stuick around and hope for the best. [20:13] dj_segfault: It's not just in Firefox that I have issues though [20:13] Serraphyn: isnt wine on the cannonical list of applications they provide support for? I believe so.... [20:13] I know my soundcard isn't on the list of soundcards that ALSA supports though. [20:13] eremite, support from ubuntu, but not from this Channel [20:13] HEY Session416 ! Have a nice pretty picture to show how bad Linux Audio is :) http://imagebin.ca/view/4FoUFue.html [20:14] Session416: Understood, but sometimes Firefox (actually the Flash plugin or other plugins) "steal" the sound card and prevent other apps from accessing it while they're running. [20:14] Session416, have you tried other audio servers? [20:14] i wish to make a bash script to resize the gnome panels to 19 would anyone be able to assist me? [20:14] Has anyone had any experience with Canonical support? How is it? [20:14] holy .."S" [20:14] i've been wondering wtf is up with sound in general [20:14] lantizia_: Excellent!!!! [20:14] dj_segfault: Ahh, I get you. I'll give that a try. [20:14] Session416: Good luck [20:14] lazarus: just right click on the gnome panel, choose PROPERTIES and change it manually? [20:14] Serraphyn: This is going to make me sound really dumb but I'm not entirely sure what that means. :( [20:15] Can anyone help me. I've installed backtrack on my laptop, but I'm not able to find/connect to a wireless network? [20:15] I'm going through the troubleshooting list and I feel like I'm blindfolded in a cave being remotely guided by someone who kind of knows the general layout of the cave [20:15] Session416, TBH that might not be a goodt hing to worry with for you then. take what dj_segfault said and go with that [20:15] eremite, i have like a system restore type script i wish to add it to [20:15] Session416: an audio server, such as ALSA, is what plays the music for you. If you try another server like PulseAudio ro OSS then you might be able to get it working, [20:16] man this is kinda heavy traffic here [20:16] interesting about the whole sound thing [20:16] lazarus: why bother, it's just a matter of spending 10 seconds adjusting them again. [20:16] Hey... Debian Sid has "SWAT" down as unmaintained, security issues, and generally getting incompatible with samba... does Canonical consider it a problem enough for it to drop it? [20:16] tachiro1, its usually pretty busy here as lots of new people start on Ubuntu in the linux world. [20:16] lazarus: a drunk... [20:16] hola [20:16] yea, i guess i'd be one of them lol [20:16] hola [20:16] eremite: Ah, thanks. I'm not sure how to try another one though, it might be a little over my head. I'll try the Firefox thing first and then see if I can look up how to do that without ruining my computer :p [20:17] Can anyone help me. I've installed backtrack on my laptop, but I'm not able to find/connect to a wireless network? [20:17] !es [20:17] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[20:17] lol [20:17] ksdncki [20:17] hello [20:17] i can relate to the bad sound quality issue though, is one audio server better than the other? or is it just different, and suits different people? [20:17] apparently i'm using alsa [20:18] tachiro1, different strokes for different folks(and hardware) [20:18] hmm, i wonder what would be good for a laptop [20:18] tachiro1: its a linux specific problem, thats for sure. Audio dies in games for me, no reason why. This same machine works flawlessly with windows installed. [20:18] every time i start my machine the soundcard is in a different state, its quite annoying :( [20:18] Its not so much a linux issue as its drivers for hardware [20:18] interesting, well hopefull by linux's design i could work around this [20:19] Specially when you have some manufactures that refuse to opensource driver code [20:19] hey umm... i installed the latest greatest ubuntu, and the themes and fonts look like crap o_O [20:19] oooh ok [20:19] tachiro1, if you know how to do driver programming you will have little issue with anything in linux. [20:19] Serraphyn: I have Intel drivers. Ubuntu claims to install the proper drivers fro Intel automatically, but they dont work like they do in Windows, which is flawlessly. Its a linux problem because no other OS does this. Only linux. [20:19] interesting [20:20] may have to grab a book with this one [20:20] eremite, no thats a DRIVER issue, the OS itself works fine. [20:20] Serraphyn: end-users dont program or know how to compile drivers on their own. [20:20] newbie: About logitech mouse problem - check http://paste.ubuntu.com/407208/ - seems funny to have two handlers for the same device [20:20] brainbox: and just 2 poor icons on your desktop? [20:20] Im trying to write a script, but i would need information if some service is running or not. Is there any command for seeing that (Or do i have to parse something bigger =( ) [20:20] Serraphyn: its a linux specific problem because only Linux OS use this type of sound servers. Linux problem. [20:20] no, im refering to the themes fucks up mozilla and everything === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen [20:21] Crepy: you might have better luck in #bash [20:21] brainbox: gee, what can you expect for? it's free [20:21] almost enough to make me want to go back to bsd ugggh [20:21] maybe, but this is also question for unbuntu :P [20:21] Crepy, tried ps aux | grep servicename [20:21] I have somehow managed to lose the fn keys that takes wifi up and down, anybody able to help? [20:21] ok thanks =) [20:21] Handy also for situations when you arent scripting [20:22] * brainbox prays to the ubuntu gods they will show mercy and fix the themes... or remove them all togather [20:22] brainbox: ubuntu won't waste a drop of tear on you [20:22] eremite, there are many other linux distros out there and some have issues with other things and not sound. So if you want to be ignorant and blame an entire OS for a driver issue, then by all means go back to carebear land and use windows [20:22] brainbox: without you, nothing will happen [20:23] ... u make it sound like im being conscripted [20:23] me too [20:23] this is ubuntu [20:24] hi champions [20:24] hello I'm trying to enable active FTP in iptables === marcog1 is now known as marcog|weechat [20:24] modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp [20:24] i don't get why the fonts look so shitty...

[20:25] iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. [20:25] not yet but im about ready to just remove the themes altogather [20:25] lol [20:26] how do i update proprietary wireless drivers? [20:26] brainbox, tried running chrome? lol the fonts 99% of the time look like legos to me [20:26] RobertZaccour, have you been the manufactures website and downloaded new drivers? === matthew_____ is now known as RPG_Master [20:26] I tried closing firefox and it didn't help with the sound. So I tried entering "pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start" and it doesn't seem to have done anything either. Should something show up in my terminal when I enter that in? [20:27] Hi there, [20:27] Session416, Did you use sudo pulseaudio -k .... ? [20:27] Serraphyn, no [20:27] After the latest update and reboot, something is wrong with my desktop. All of the icons are gone, and I can't click + drag. I know that the files are still in the Desktop directory. Anyone have an idea for a fix? [20:27] RobertZaccour, and your wireless is working? [20:27] oh, lol, I suppose I should probably do that. I'm really new to linux. [20:27] !sudo | Session416 [20:27] Session416: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [20:27] Serraphyn, yes [20:28] RobertZaccour, to quote a military mechanic, don't fix what ain't broken. [20:28] Okay, now it's actually saying stuff but it looks like an error [20:28] BigMao: seems as nautilus is not working [20:29] BigMao, can you ALT+F2 and type in nautilus and it works? [20:30] Serraphyn, thanks. I will try that [20:30] may need do use dpkg-reconfigure xorgserver [20:30] beernarrd_, give me a moment :) [20:30] Serraphyn, that worked. The stuff is back [20:30] How did you know? [20:30] happened to me too, once. [20:30] I added the fish applet in the panel and wanda the fish is dead. But clicking on the fish for the quotation displays: Look at today's date. What a awesome april fools joke. (its april 1st by me timezone) [20:30] beernarrd_, my system crashed right before the reboot [20:30] so that might have caused it [20:31] it might have locked a .Xsomething file .. [20:31] Bigmao, check yout start up scripts to make sure naut is running [20:31] I'm getting an error when I enter "sudo pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start" [20:31] Serraphyn, for sure. You mean in my /etc/rc.d directories? [20:31] Session416, paste the error to pastie.org [20:31] BigMao, no in your xorg start up files [20:31] Help! I gots a kernel panic! :O [20:31] RPG_Master, don't panic... oh wait to late :) [20:32] "1.0452121 kernel panic -not syncing: VPS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (0,0)" [20:32] Serraphyn, :P [20:32] RPG_Master, you modifed your grub or did an automated kernel upgrade? [20:32] Serraphyn, upgrade [20:32] Serraphyn, so in /etc/X11/Xsession.d? [20:32] BigMao, yes and your personal ~/.Xsesssion [20:32] Serraphyn, Updated the 10.04 beta [20:33] RPG_Master, the powers that be say ask in #ubuntu+1 [20:33] first time i did a manual compile of 2.6 in kernel panic'd compiling panic.o, twas an ironic kernel panic [20:33] No beta here, it confuses the new people :) [20:33] beta? RUNNNNN [20:33] Serraphyn, http://pastie.org/897625 [20:33] hmmmm beta :) [20:33] Serraphyn, Usually yeah, but this sounded like a general enough problem that it could be helped here :) [20:34] Serraphyn, nautilus isn't in any of the files in Xsession.d, and I don't have a .Xsession file. However, it had been working up until today, so unless the Nautilus call was deleted somehow, I don't see how this can be the cause [20:34] you beta go somewhere else to talk about that sonny jim [20:34] someone could help me, how can i agree a ISR? [20:34] RPG_Master, tbh sounds like your update script didn't copy kernel or modify grub right, time to do things by hand [20:35] BigMao, check in /var/log see if anything is wonky in the log files [20:35] Serraphyn, Could reinstalling grub fix this? [20:35] Serraphyn, nautilus segfaulted about three minute ago [20:35] Session416, you need to do "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" sans the quotes [20:35] RPG_Master, thats a good start [20:35] BigMao, during update? [20:36] Serraphyn, not sure. Let me reboot the computer and see if everything works [20:36] k [20:36] RPG_Master: I would rather reinstall the last kernel (or add another...) [20:36] RPG_Master: That would reconfigure your grub conf automatically... [20:37] I was pretty early in setting it all up... you think I could just reinstall and then th eupdate wouldn't screw up this time? [20:37] RPG_Master, minimec is right, try that first since it pretty much covers everything [20:37] RPG_Master, I tend to reinstall alot so thats usualyl how I fix kernel issues. [20:38] can anyone help with install problem? [20:38] Serraphyn, How would I go about fixing this issue through a live CD? Like, say, Parted Magic? [20:38] Serraphyn, I think everything works now. The desktop came up normally when I rebooted [20:38] !ask | acholonu [20:38] acholonu: 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. :-) [20:38] Thanks again. :) [20:39] BigMao, *phew* thats good to hear mate, btw thank beernarrd_ to he helped. [20:39] beernarrd_, thank you too! [20:39] why is installing ubuntu 64 by cd giving me errors [20:39] acholonu: partition errors? [20:39] acholonu: did you md5sum check the iso? [20:39] acholonu, CD scratched? Bad Download? Bad Burn? HDD errors... [20:40] i don't think so [20:40] !md5sum | acholonu [20:40] acholonu: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:40] RPG_Master, I'd say if you could just reinstall, but if your good with chroot and such, live cd could git r dun [20:40] deegee, just curious... do you remember if some link or resource was specially useful on the ldap setup? [20:40] * RPG_Master is a lazy 16 year old [20:41] here's a total newb question: where do i configure my network interfaces? is system > preferences > network connections the place to go? i cant seem to ping my gw [20:41] Reinstall it is! :D [20:41] RPG_Master, reinstall it is :) [20:41] lol [20:41] rawDawg, gw as in your router?

Keep searching, the answer is out there [20:43] my router is a cisco firewall [20:43] rawDawg: GUI or CLI?

Thanks! [21:57] Can somebody please tell me if the following sentence is good english. => The trial already blew. [21:57] member:ribatejoluso so it works? [21:58] I just set up ubuntu server and I wish to use it with mpd(music player daemon), and thus need to isntall the drivers for its sound card. I've installed alsa, and even loaded the correct driver(snd-via-82xx) and I still get an error when trying to use alsamixer or play sound or whatever. Do I have to "enable the soundcard" somewhere? aplay -l doesn't list any devices, but cat /proc/asound/cards does display the device I want [21:58] newbie: stop that!! [21:58] Somebody please tell me if the following sentence is good english. => The trial already blew. [21:58] Does anyone know the answer to IceDane s question lol [21:58] newbie: no.

Try #english for that [21:59] !ops | newbie doesn't listen, insists on stating the same ot question over and over again [21:59] newbie doesn't listen, insists on stating the same ot question over and over again: Help!

[21:59] alesan: you can add yourself to the sudoers file [21:59] zedkappa, do you have more info on this? [22:00] alesan: you can edit the /etc/sudoers file with visudo [22:00] why should I use visudo and not any text editor? [22:00] ya [22:00] i was wondering the same thing [22:00] i am getting this error while running ./configure http://pastebin.com/1YG3NRuN am i missing any header file? [22:00] alesan: read « man sudoers » but this is not really a good idea. You shouldn't have to enter the password that often that it becomes a burden. If you are, then you are probably doing something wrong. Why exactly do you need to enter a password so often? What exactly are you doing? [22:01] alesan, because if you make a mistake using "any text editor" you can lock yourself out -- visudo does some sanity checking before committing the file [22:01] znik: what are you compiling? [22:01] hi guys, I'm having problems with raid5 reshaping with mdadm. dmesg is reporting info warnings saying it's blocked for more than 120secs and the reshape is stuck on 99.9% any ideas? [22:01] What'sthe best way to back up my ubuntu laptop? [22:01] jrib: actually just about everyone inserts it often :P [22:01] alesan: because an error in that file might render your system unusable - and visudo makes a sanity check before comitting [22:01] jrib: http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ [22:01] when I double click a, for example, .cpp file how can I make it check if vim is already open and if so open the file on it ? [22:01] zedkappa: I don't... [22:01] I need to resize the partitions. [22:01] jrib, why do you want to interfere with my security policy :) [22:01] hi ^^ [22:01] alesan: you asked for help... [22:02] jrib, it's a virtual machine that I use for testing a software I'm writing [22:02] jrib: i have to enter it about 8 times on startup [22:02] zedkappa: to do what? [22:02] puff: good question. I would like to know also [22:02] jrib: for the network, idk why [22:02] zedkappa: that's one time, no? [22:02] !!worksforme | zedkappa [22:02] alesan: If you like you can do "sudo EDITOR=emacs visudo", where emacs can be whatever editor you like. [22:02] zedkappa: 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/ [22:03] !compile > znik [22:03] znik, please see my private message [22:03] thanks guntbert but i believe gedit can edit it fine under sudo [22:03] alesan: Also, if I recall correctly, the current version of sudo in ubuntu creates a catch-22 situation if you don't use visudo. [22:03] Hey guys I know this is offtopic but somebody please tell me if the following sentence is good english. => The trial already blew. [22:03] puff: Personally I have just backed /home up to an external drive and then done what needed to be done. [22:03] puff, nothing a reboot wont' fix :) [22:03] ok [22:03] anyway thanks! [22:03] alesan: That is, you can't edit /etc/sudoers because it's not writable. But sudo won't run if /etc/sudoers is writable. So once you use sudo to make /etc/sudoers writable, then you can't use sudo again. [22:03] bye [22:03] zedkappa: that depend entirely on your ability not to make a mistake - and please don't recommend that here [22:03] alesan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:04] newbie: kickban [22:04] *depends [22:04] jrib: ya it just started happening, it asks for the keyring password about 6 times [22:04] and the network key also [22:04] I have an external USB drive with about 80 GB free space, fomratted NTFS. I have a laptop with a 60GB drive and ubuntu 8.10. [22:04] Need help with programming c++, Berkeley's socks messed up [22:04] its an old distro, im just going to get 10 === maciek_ is now known as Guest6935 [22:05] how do I keep my computer from going idle? [22:05] hallo i was wondering if you guys could recommend me to some kind of hardware support channel? [22:05] zedkappa: Is this a wireless connection by any chance? [22:05] Eximius: ##c++ for that [22:05] apprenticeIdiot: yes [22:05] n3r0: ##hardware [22:05] it disconnected me from the internet and stopped my download and I am hopping mad [22:05] My 60 GB laptop is formatted with a 5GB / partition, a 10 GB /home partition, and a 38 GB /bulkdata partition. [22:05] ##c++ Ain't accepting random nicknames [22:05] I need to back up my laptop so I can resize my / partition from 5GB to 10 GB. [22:05] and i'm not going to register one [22:05] How would you recommend I proceed? [22:05] puff: could just use gparted [22:05] Eximius: then I guess you can't get support with c++. [22:06] why do transmission complain about 2 out of 5 torrents that they are corrupt? [22:06] zedkappa: Heh, does that for me to. Does my head in. Internal wirelss (B) will constantly ask for password, PMCIA wireless (G) is perfectly happy. I always thought it was just me and a dodgy internal wireless network adapter. [22:06] PatrickGleason: For which step? [22:06] anyone knows how to add a file to a floppy in virtualbox? [22:06] cant join channel hardware without invitation, any ideas? [22:07] !register | n3r0 [22:07] puff: you can boot to gparted livecd and just resize your partitions without destroying data [22:07] n3r0: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [22:07] apprenticeIdiot: ya i just deny all 6 prompts and ubuntu is like "... ok you can have internet now lol" [22:07] Eximius: ##c++ doesn't seem to require registration though. So you should be able to join. If you need help with that, #freenode can help [22:07] PatrickGleason: Sounds like a plan, now, since I'm not insane, I'd like to back up before doing so.... [22:07] except for the key [22:07] puff: on the mac, i use CCC. i havent been ubuntu long enough, ive never had to do it lol [22:08] puff: Patrick is right, but backing up is still "A Good Idea"(tm). Well it is if you are me! [22:08] and yes. for God sakes. back up your data [22:08] apprenticeIdiot: Okay, so a) is ntfs going to be safe to put my data onto and b) what program? [22:08] when they work just fine in MWindows for insrtance [22:08] I could just use rsync, but I feel uncertain about ntfs... [22:09] zedkappa: I just find it weird that the two connections behave so differently. I know there are some bugs about Network Manager and keyring access (which is why you can't join hidden networks easily) [22:09] jrib: Why did you kick me? Man stop over reacting. Besides other ppl are talking offtopic too. Time to keep some decency. [22:09] That is, if the USB drive was ext3 like my laptop is, I'd feel safe just rsyncing, but sinc eit's NTFS, I worry. [22:09] hi guys, I'm having problems with raid5 reshaping with mdadm. dmesg is reporting info warnings saying it's blocked for more than 120secs and the reshape is stuck on 99.9% any ideas? [22:09] any girls cam for monney [22:09] newbie: Try #english [22:10] puff: Never had a problem, I back-up to NTFS as I have some Windows boxes. [22:10] apprenticeIdiot: Okay, so rsync to the ntfs drive? === yoda__ is now known as YODA___ [22:11] puff: rsync? Err, no (not used it to be honest - I'm still new). Drag 'n drop has been good enough for me so far. [22:11] when they work just fine in MWindows for insrtance? [22:11] why do transmission complain about 2 out of 5 torrents that they are corrupt? when they work fine in windows for instance? [22:11] Hm, now since the ntfs drivef is mounted at /media/lacie, and I want to back up /, how to avoid trying to rsync /media/lacie to /media/lacie? [22:11] Sigh. [22:11] puff: My data is fairly static, so it's not a huge issue. I really need to get clued up about rsync etc [22:12] puff: rsync has an --exclude option ;-) [22:12] I've never gotten rsync --exclude to work right. [22:12] anyone know of a good tutorial using dovecot postfix to set up email server? [22:12] apprenticeIdiot: The basics are very, very easy. BEyond that... [22:12] alfplayer, thanks for your help. phpmyadmin 2.11 works [22:13] Does anyone know of a SIPE (MS OCS) compatible IM client that will run on Ubuntu? I have "pidgin-sipe" but that doesn't seem to do voice. [22:13] apprenticeIdiot: Basically, rsync -avz /some/local/filepath/ user@hostname:/some/remote/filepath/ [22:13] apprenticeIdiot: As long as you amke sure both filepaths end with a trailing slash (/) you're good. [22:13] i like aPz [22:13] hello. I just tried to install the 10.04 beta. while installing ubiquity crashed, and the crashreport tool wouldn't let me send the report because some packages were outdated. [22:13] puff: point it to a file, then fill the file with locations with directories you don't want to backup [22:13] puff: Yeah, it's usually like that. Really easy until I forget something like a trailing /! Thanks for the info. [22:13] apprenticeIdiot: It will assume you want to make /some/remote/filepath/ contain exactly the same contents as /some/local/filepath/ [22:13] Mohero: Yeah, I tried that too. [22:14] flawed: lucid is in #ubuntu+1 [22:14] thanks === mOOey is now known as m00se [22:14] apprenticeIdiot: If you don't have a trailing / on both, then it gets tricky and you end up having somethjing rsync create something like /some/remote/filepath/some/remote/filepath [22:14] puff: don't put the leading / on the dirs and the first dir is from where you backup. [22:14] puff: hold on. [22:15] Mohero: Yeah, I was explaining the simplest, safest case to apprenticeIdiot, using absolute file paths. [22:15] Mohero: Okay. [22:15] puff: Thanks. I need the small words. :o) [22:15] anyone in here do gtkmm? [22:16] millertimek1a2m3: ask in #gtk+ at irc.gimp.org [22:17] how do you make a kernel the default in grub? [22:17] apprenticeIdiot: And of course you can do it in the other direction, e.g. rsync -avz user@hostname:/some/remote/filepath/ /some/local/filepath/ [22:17] hi there [22:17] apprenticeIdiot: YOu can also rsync individual files. [22:17] puff: see PM :) [22:17] is there a postfix room? [22:17] Mohero: Muchos gracias. [22:17] puff: np [22:17] gorehound: Yes, but I didnt' find them too helpful. [22:17] gorehound: yes /postfix ;-) [22:18] * #postfix [22:18] but like puff they basically tell you you're doing it all wrong, but won't tell you what the "right" way is [22:18] puff: Good to know. I have heard people use rysnc for podcast syncing etc, just not got around to looking into it yet.. [22:18] * Mohero grumbles [22:18] is there a mdadm room too? [22:18] apprenticeIdiot: Generally speaking, rsync will first display a list of files (the v is for verbose), then check on those files on the remote host, then do the copying. [22:18] puff: are you using terminal to back up things? [22:18] apprenticeIdiot: So it's pretty safe to run it twice. [22:18] ok thanks any of you have knowledge of setting up mailserver in ubuntu server 9.1? [22:19] PatrickGleason: About to, yes. Mohero showed me the right way to use rsync exclude. [22:19] puff: that is the scariest thing ive ever heard lol [22:19] apprenticeIdiot: Rsync only copies the changes. So if you change nothing and run rsync again, it'll check, then not copy anything. If you change one file out of 3000 and run rsync again, it'll check all of the files, but only copy the changed file. [22:19] PatrickGleason: What is? [22:20] apprenticeIdiot: In fact, it will actually only copy the changed bit of file. [22:20] puff: backing up without a nice gui telling me everything is ok\ [22:20] apprenticeIdiot: It does a block-by-block compare and only moves the changed data. [22:20] hi [22:20] puff: Crikey. I thought it was just file-by-file. [22:20] PatrickGleason: Hee, yeah, I'd prefer a purpose-built tool, but I don't like GUI tools, they hide too much. [22:21] graviton: a bit.... [22:21] join /ubuntu_qc [22:21] graviton: wrong name [22:21] gorehound: a bit... [22:21] quit [22:21] apprenticeIdiot: Well, rsync first became popular back in 1999 or so, when bandwidth was a lot tighter. [22:21] puff: im still not quite comfortable with the terminal- esp for backing up my life [22:21] Quit [22:21] gorehound: depends how much you want to know [22:21] glaframb: try /quit [22:22] * Mohero notices he ignores quits / joins... :) [22:22] PatrickGleason: I would prefer a tool that is designed and properly implemented to accomplish my goal, but whether it's terminal or GUI is irrelevant. However, when things break wtih GUI tools, you have no idea what went wrong. WIth terminal tools you usually have more to go on. [22:22] why is my terminal listed under "accessories" in the menu, it should be under "necessities" [22:23] PatrickGleason: Also, with gui tools you have to _hope_ the tool was deisgned and properly implemented with the right goal in mind. Terminal tools are usually a b it more explicit. [22:23] puff: i like buttons [22:23] lol [22:23] Also, with terminal tools it's much easier to stick in cron and run automatically. [22:23] I call this visible complexity vs. hidden complexity. === palo__ is now known as pal0bre [22:24] Complexity just is. Sometimes you can hide it successfully, but when you can't (which seems to be more often than people think :-) I'd rather have visible complexity when I'm trying to sort out the problem. [22:25] ok iw ant to update files within a range but if the update date of the file is newer on live then do not overwrite, how do I do that? [22:25] The idea would be both - hidden complexity with the option to check under the hood - but people seem so rarely to do that. Probably it takes too much extra work. [22:25] bye bye [22:25] seidos: I did this ages ago when I messed something up, editing /boot/grub/menu.lst was the way I think. I am sure there are community docs about it [22:25] Bisu[Shield]: I'm rpetty sure rsync has a keep-newer option or something. [22:25] <_newbie_> Sorry for talking offtopic before but I did not see your warnings. [22:25] apprenticeIdiot, I'll look into that [22:25] can someone tell me how to set compiz as my default window manager ??? [22:25] <_newbie_> Were is the channel log to be found?

I added 1more TB to it and grew it [22:41] it's mainly my data storage pool, all other things are on independent lvm's [22:41] Typos_King, must be a redditor [22:41] I already (sadden) found out that I can not change my visual effects due to the lack of my graphics card. So I am wondering if going to gnome-look.org is still worth checking out [22:41] Mohero: Does this look right? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nXMMQuCn [22:42] and yes, I would like to keep the data on it :/ [22:42] Hi all, anyone aware of a way to use bluetooth gear that requires that random pin stuff with linux? [22:42] Mohero: Whoops, waitasec, forgot to delete the original excludes filepath. [22:42] zzzZoltan: are you able to access the data on it currently? and how many times have you tried to reshape it? [22:42] redditor? :| [22:42] I got a keyboard from bestbuy (rocketfish) and so far it only works under windows [22:42] haha nvm [22:42] anyone want to help me figure out why my new lucid upgrade won't boot properly? [22:43] puff: :) [22:43] nu2linux: you might be mistaking compiz-enabled 3d graphics effects for theming effects [22:43] chelz: I've the reshape is only once, but since it's stuck i think it tries to continue on each boot. perhaps I can re-assemble it? [22:43] nu2linux: your gfx card should have little to no bearing on what themes you can install [22:43] Mohero: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UD9pQqF1 [22:43] where can i find myself a good c++ compiler for ubuntu? [22:43] sweet then [22:43] n3r0: gcc [22:43] puff: looking [22:43] puff, isn't gcc a c compiler?

[22:44] oh [22:44] puff: pm [22:44] if I boot into the grub menu and choose the recovery console it the output just stops after USB initialization [22:44] nu2linux: the login screen where you type in your username and password is where gdm themes would be. ubuntu karmic doesn't support theming that. at least not without a lot of work [22:45] chelz: i'll give that a try, because booting from the system seems to stall the mdadm tasks [22:45] zzzZoltan: you might have to chroot [22:45] seidos: "The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...)" http://gcc.gnu.org/ [22:45] y la señorita mariangeles [22:45] if I 'ctrl-alt-delete' then it does 'stopping all md devices' and reboots as normal, but I never get anything like a prompt or shell up [22:45] oh I didn't even know that that was possible in the first plac [22:45] zzzZoltan: this would probably help: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8874 [22:46] Yea Linux rocks [22:46] nu2linux: hopefully it will be again before too long [22:46] puff, it doesn't really make sense. what is g++ then?

[23:04] nu2lINUX: if you are not sharing a home partition, I do not see why you couldn't use 2 or more distros of any flavor.. as long as you use the same boot loader, you should be fine. ie slackware, and Im sure others use lilo by default instead of grub.

[23:18] please. [23:18] Mohero: Mostly I'm jumping through all these hoops because my / partition keeps fillnig up, but the lack of space in / is also what's been holding me back from upgrading. [23:18] nu2linux: you might try creating a new user account and deleting the old one. when giving a laptop away though it's always a good idea to wipe the harddrive if it has any unencrypted sensitive data on it [23:18] puff: understood. [23:19] sprung: you can find "manifest" files alongside the ubuntu isos on almost all mirrors [23:19] he told me that he only used for the internet [23:19] Mohero: See, it's lines like this that convinced me Iwasn't getting excludes right, before: rsync: readlink "/home/puff/.gvfs" failed: Permission denied (13) [23:19] nu2linux: try making a new user, logging in as that new user, and seeing if the fonts are normal [23:19] Mohero: This is in the rsync that's supposed to be excluding /home [23:19] chelz, perfect, that's exactly what i needed, i'm fixed up. [23:20] nu2linux: the only real way to 'reset' an ubuntu system is to reinstall though. most reinstalls shouldn't take much longer than 40min [23:20] puff: err.... odd... === shazbot is now known as Nose_Pick [23:21] puff: send me a nudge when you rise tomorrow, (pm might be best) I can then check my scripts, right now I do have to snooze.

[23:47] buenas tardes === mOOey is now known as m00se [23:47] randomusr: you can make a new partition just for home, copy your /home over from / using something like rsync, then delete the /home from / and setup your new partition to mount as /home [23:47] TurbineX, VIM totally or JOE [23:47] randomusr: that's the preferred setup, yes, usuallly from the getgo, you make a small partition for your system and apps, and others for your docs and media... and I'd just grab the free space, make a partition off it and dump my files there [23:47] you can try vim is pretty well [23:47] !es | zemmod [23:47] zemmod: 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. === m00se is now known as Guest17666 [23:47] i am trying to rename something in /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereoand i can't change the name.. [23:47] hey everyone, what channel is the beta being discussed on? [23:47] can someone help me [23:47] ? [23:47] t3chkommie_: #ubuntu+1 [23:47] nishanth: you need to sudo it [23:47] !sudo | nishanth [23:47] nishanth: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [23:48] nishanth: do you get a perm error? [23:48] nishanth: sudo mv OLDNAME NEWNAME [23:48] nishanth: sudo mv [23:48] thanks! [23:48] review the file permission nishanth [23:48] but i need to be in the right folder first [23:48] Typos_King, could I do the same for newly installed programs? [23:48] how do i do that? [23:48] graxias [23:48] nishanth: cd /PATHHERE/RIGHTFOLDER [23:48] Sudo apt-get install coffee [23:49] I'm tired. :( [23:49] nishanth: read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:49] lol [23:49] randomusr: to tell the app to install to that partition? if the app gives you such choice, or is standalone, yes [23:49] you can use ls -l over the file [23:49] cd /usr/shared/sounds/ubuntu/stereo [23:49] bash: cd: /usr/shared/sounds/ubuntu/stereo: No such file or directory [23:50] can somebody help me with this comand, i get an error: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxxx,password=xxx //192.168.1.106/DRG/"D"/My Documents/Charts /home/rgotten/charts.windows [23:50] nishanth: then it isn't there :) [23:50] Typos_King, it's dependent on the application? [23:50] Rafael_: needs a \ before the space ? [23:50] Rafael_ what's the cifs about? [23:50] or wrap in " " [23:50] randomusr: yes [23:50] i would like to make backspace work in chrome 5 in ubuntu. [23:50] Typos_King, I'm afraid with the number of updates and new programs that I'll run out of space on 17 gb easily [23:50] how can i do this [23:51] come on i am seeing the folder right infront of me . i can get there from file systems [23:51] but not using terminal [23:51] how can this be [23:51] ? [23:51] randomusr: you will not don´t be afraid about that [23:51] chelz: is there any way to bring up the wireless/networking app thats in the top right by the time? [23:51] nishanth: no such file means its not there [23:51] randomusr: ie, Firefox the one you download from mozilla.org comes in a bz2 package, and is standalone, you can pretty much dump it anywhere and will run from there, no installation needed [23:51] Really stupid question since i'm logged in here anyways, pdf files open "Document Viewer". What would the command line be for that app? [23:51] i dont see it on there [23:51] use any file browse , right button clik properties [23:51] chocamo: i don't think so but you can make your own keyboard shortcuts [23:51] nishanth: evince [23:51] randomusr: 17GB is more then enough for root [23:52] tell me how i can login as root? [23:52] !root [23:52] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:52] lars_bauer: did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" work? [23:52] good point.... Typos_King, I imagine that for source installs I can install where I choose as long as the deps are in the same directory? [23:52] nishanth: ... I'd think is a typo then [23:52] zroysch: did you install the linux beta? [23:52] hello all [23:53] norbi905: evince [23:53] nishanth: That root accont is locked, it's a security feature. there is no need tolog in as root, use sudo [23:53] use a administrative account change the root password and ready [23:53] ok [23:53] Linux is much like my girlfriend every 30 days.... bloated [23:53] use the terminal [23:53] I try to install AIR applications and it wants to always install AIR, although I donwloaded AIR and installed it ok [23:53] su [23:53] hey i got in....it was a typo [23:53] randomusr: not all compiled packages will run standalone, I mean,the ones you do a 'make install' on them, they usually move stuff over system folders [23:53] apparently firefox does not recognize it being installed [23:53] chelz i have installed 5.0.342.7 beta [23:54] chelz: Wow thank you, I don't think I would have ever figured it out. Such a random name :( [23:54] r0r41m4: dont encourage people to login as root, the sudo system and passwordless root is there for a reason [23:54] Prez00: if firefox doesn't recognize it then i wouldn't call it being properly installed [23:54] are we enabling the root account and setting a password in Ubuntu now??? [23:54] Typos_King, so the ones that just compile without doing make-install are standalone [23:54] chelz, the installer said it was installed ok, how can I add it to plugins or addons? [23:54] norbi905: you can add a launcher to something like that on your desktop, then right click it and go to properties and see what it opens [23:54] Prez00: what version of ubuntu are you on? [23:54] randomusr: those..... I'd think they may yes [23:54] chelz, the AIR apps application isntaller is on the menu... [23:54] chelz, Karmic [23:54] zroysch: from the ppa? [23:54] acicula : the only way to learn how to use a sytem is getting into [23:55] cool [23:55] zroysch: hmm i dont know what that is. i believe I added something to the sources.list and installed from apt-get [23:55] Prez00: did you "sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin" ? [23:55] the only way to get into is being root [23:55] randomusr: more important is what you are going to do with your unallocated space and unused partition then think about space on root [23:55] r0r41m4: dont need to be root to learn [23:55] chelz, yes I did [23:55] chelz: yeah I guess that would do it. From what I remember there was also a command to search through man pages, if I did that with "pdf" I bet it would show the app that relates to it. Thanks anyways [23:55] norbi905: man -k [23:55] norbi905: also man apropos [23:56] Typos_King, my only issue with compiling source packages is finding the proper deps, that seems to be a headache often [23:56] chelz, could it because FF was open? [23:56] norbi905: read all of this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:56] r0r41m4, as i agree for any other system, THAT is NOT the ubuntu way and this is a Ubuntu support channel [23:56] r0r41m4: Please take that elsewhere, we don't encourage people to use the root account here. I've beenusing Ubuntu since 2005 and have never needed to log in as root. It's unnecessary and unsupported [23:56] Im not agree with you, good users need to lear how to [23:56] Prez00: worth a shot. close fx, install it, then start it up again. [23:56] chelz: Thats the one, well onto reading Linux 101 :) Thanks [23:56] r0r41m4: thats cool, but not here [23:56] zvacet, I'll figure it out.... [23:56] randomusr: well, it comes with the territory :) [23:56] ok [23:56] where can iget emerald themer ? [23:56] how do you copy a file from desktop to some other folder using terminal [23:56] ? [23:57] Prez00: you can check fx plugins by putting "about:plugins" (without the quotes) in your fx address bar [23:57] randomusr : it is two min job I can help you if you want to [23:57] Alpha-DOG: what version of ubuntu are you on? [23:57] nishanth, cp ~/Desktop/file /some/other/directory/ [23:57] 9.10 [23:57] zvacet: what's that? what part? [23:57] nishanth: with cp , type man cp for documentation [23:57] chelz, i did, AIR is not there, so I though i might have to do an ln -s for the libCore.so to plugins directory [23:57] nishanth: isn't your file manager providing already a 'root' session? [23:57] chelz, I just can't find exactly where it was I had to link [23:57] randomusr: repartitioning your HD and make separate home partition [23:58] use sudo a launch the file manager from console [23:58] nishanth: I think you can run nautilus as sudo, just run gksu and run nautilus from there, just be very careful, do what you have and exit the session [23:58] how do i disable f12 from launching desktop search? fyi, f12 isn't mapped to anything in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [23:58] haha just tryed and done :P the emerald [23:58] Typos_King: unless you explicitly add it there is no run as root filebrowser, and its not a good idea either [23:58] nishanth: gksudo rather [23:59] chelz, reinstalled, no Air plugin in firefox [23:59] Prez00: the installer supposedly should 'just work' [23:59] hehe [23:59] Prez00: maybe restart and try again [23:59] /msg NickServ identify anzu [23:59] someone help im not getting sound from my sound card [23:59] Whtas you problem with administrative privilegies [23:59] :-( [23:59] Prez00: you sure you're actually running the installer? [23:59] r0r41m4, just a fyi, theres not much you cant do with "sudo -i" that you couldn't do "as-root" (root@averatec17:~#) <<-- on mine ;-) [23:59] chelz, wow restart, haven't done that in a while, haha
