[00:00] how to install the themes of emerald ? [00:00] chelz, sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin [00:00] Prez00: you might try sudo sh ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin [00:00] are you crazy ?, people can do it anything without it [00:00] hey i moved a .ogg file from desktop to /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo [00:00] but i cant play it [00:00] it has a cross on top of it [00:00] acicula: may I hear from the advocates of the anti-su, their rationale, hehee, I mean..... I understand is caution.... but many advocates make it sound you'll turn into stone if you do, which is false [00:01] Prez00: have you installed all available ubuntu updates for your system? [00:01] nishanth : opean that file with some player [00:01] no, I don't encourage it, but if needed, I do provide it, so long care is observed [00:01] chelz, I always do [00:01] chelz, up to date [00:01] no it works when i open it on desktop [00:01] but not when in the other folder [00:01] Typos_King: running via su or programs as root when you do not need to is an easy and quick way to hose a system if you do something wrong and is generally just not needed. [00:01] it says i dont have permission [00:01] Typos_King: sudo is generally a much better way to do things, especially for everyday users [00:02] nishanth: thats because it is in your root folder not /home [00:02] nishanth: in a terminal do chmod 755 path/to/file.ogg [00:02] someone help me? [00:02] nishanth : that file don´t belong where you put it put it in music folder and open player and browse for it [00:02] nishanth: change path/to/file.ogg with your .ogg file [00:02] chelz, no [00:03] oh well, no AIR for me, wanted to try out the Zinio reader [00:03] now AIR based [00:03] nishanth: you are trying to use it as a system sound?

[00:03] yes [00:03] Prez00: you could try on the adobe air forums or w/e [00:03] :( [00:03] i am trying to change my system login sound [00:03] acicula, chelz: I know and I agree on that, but I also recognize on some cases may help things rather than ruin them [00:03] chelz, I can't find one page on google that talks about AIR installation problem with FF, :-) [00:03] nishanth: you need to chmod it than like chelz said [00:04] Typos_King: i cant imagine any case where it be benificial for a novice user to run nautilus as root [00:04] A bit off topic, but I have read it in a forum somewhere where it went something along the lines of "If you don't know how to get rid of sudo and switch to root, then you should be root in the first place". I'm sticking to that :) [00:04] Prez00: did you perhaps install your own fx or anything? or are you using the fx that came with ubuntu? [00:04] chelz, fx from ubuntu [00:04] *shouldn't [00:04] Typos_King: most programs are designed specifically so that you can do everything as a user without being forced to modify system files [00:04] :/ some one help me [00:04] pls tell me someone how to install an emerald theme ? [00:04] if I could download apps, I could install them with Air isntaller, but on FX it tries to download AIR before the actual app file [00:04] nishanth: the file may be grayed out cuz of permissions [00:05] can anyone help me diagnose my sound card? [00:05] acicula: novice will left to be novice just learning how to use the super power of root [00:05] nishanth: chmod 777 /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/file.ogg [00:05] whoa! suddenly it worked! Installed from tweetdeck page [00:05] r0r41m4: thats an opinion, which you are free to have, but stick to channel policy here [00:05] I guess I had to reinstall with FF shutdown [00:05] !emerald | Alpha-DOG [00:05] Alpha-DOG: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz.

[00:14] !kill | Anarchy7 [00:14] Anarchy7: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:14] fwaokda: google "rgb hex"? [00:14] fwaokda, there are a ton of tools if you search in google [00:15] fwaokda: are you needing that for CSS? [00:15] Not sure whether to ask this here or #winehq, but [00:15] Is it possible to install Wine without getting the fonts with it? I've tried uninstalling the extra packages like "symbol/tahoma free equivalent" [00:15] fwaokda: I don't think the 'a' plays in Hex language, jus the 'rgb' [00:16] It changes the fonts on loads of webpages since they originally used something else when they weren't available [00:16] sprung: still there? [00:16] Typos_King: It doesn't for most HTML/CSS related uses. There are times when #RRGGBBAA is used, though. [00:16] sprung: "After the base system installed, log in, and type "sudo tasksel" to select the system to install. " [00:16] (in general) [00:16] sprung: tasksel allows you to install a range of common applications, as in even stuff like gnome for a desktop system [00:17] rww: yeah, in css3 I think it uses an rgba() function though, no Hex [00:17] just like it has an rgb() too [00:17] EdgEy: packages are as a dependency you can get around but is cumbersome and errorprone, why do you need the package gone? === arkasnow123 is now known as arkasnow [00:18] how to open this system>preferences>compizconfig i really can't find in xubuntu 9.10 [00:18] acicula, it changes the fonts on webpages, for example Ubuntu forums, Facebook, various others [00:18] sprung: one thing you might try to do is get a 9.10 Desktop livecd as a partition on your computer after the netinstall, boot to it, then install from it like a disc, so you can install from a real Desktop CD [00:18] Typos_King, here is an example of a rgba hex value: 0x7FFF0000 its a red color with some transparency [00:18] Alpha-DOG: you might need to install it [00:18] I'm guessing they couldn't find one before and went to a default of some kind [00:18] how chelz :S [00:18] EdgEy: more like wine or the programs run within it dont like the default ones that came with ubuntu [00:19] acicula, no I'm talking Firefox run in Ubuntu native [00:19] fwaokda: .... I see, is not for webdev then :) [00:19] Alpha-DOG: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:19] Alpha-DOG I believe it doesn't come by default with Ubuntu 9.10. I remember having to install it. [00:19] I can take a screenshot with wine installed / uninstalled if that helps [00:19] EdgEy: yeah i understand that, i meant why the dependencies are there [00:19] Ah === skiff is now known as Guest60770 [00:21] anyone know why a folder im samba sharing on my windows drive unshares upon reboot? i set the drive for automount and it doesnt seem to help [00:23] what is the cmd to upload a file via ssh?

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:28] so I see a note on the community docs that says ca-certificates I want to add globally go into /usr/share/ca-certificates. what is /usr/local/share/ca-certificates for, then? [00:29] sammy: /usr/local/ is typically for custom system wide installations outside the scope of the system package managers [00:29] Alpha-DOG: i'm not sure what you mean but that sounds offtopic. please keep offtopic stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:29] sammy: or historically /usr could be distributed why /usr/local was always a local fs [00:29] can someone tell me how to connect to "#c++ channel on irc.gnome.org" [00:29] sammy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [00:30] hi, how do I change uin to 1001 as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9057327 [00:30] thanks for helping me a lot with that compiz thing :P i just installed ubuntu and it's cool for me [00:30] millertimek1a2m3: what irc client are you using? [00:30] xchat [00:30] millertimek1a2m3: gnome xchat or regular xchat? [00:30] hi to all [00:30] actually here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/494394 sorry [00:30] regular xchat [00:31] !hi | crogeek [00:31] I have couple of questions [00:31] crogeek: 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! [00:31] first I have radeon 9600 pro AGP card on my p4 PC and I cannot run 3d effects, I am using regular drivers from kernel of Ubuntu [00:31] secondly, why software reposierties are not updated to the end? [00:31] I saw latest Firefox is 3.5.8 in rep. [00:32] millertimek1a2m3: go to XChat in the top left, go to New, click on "Server Tab...". then in that tab type "/server irc.gnome.org" (without the quotes) then "/join #c++" (without the quotes) [00:32] crogeek: because often there are prereleases that aren't ready for the public [00:32] crogeek, a new feature might be added by one person, but it might be buggy. [00:33] can u make a botnet in linux ? [00:33] can someone explain me how to download latest ATI driver for my graph. card and run 3d effects, I know it should work, in 9.04 on my radeon 9600 that worked well [00:33] chelz: thanks, that's an interesting link. I didn't know that historically you could push /usr to a cloned machine and keep local changes in /usr/local .. apparently karmic and lucid support local ca-certificates in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates [00:33] millertimek1a2m3: to make it faster to join places like that, you can use the XChat Network List. found in the same XChat menu in the upper left as before, by clicking on "Network List" [00:33] crogeek, Ubuntu uses a "Timed based" release scheme vs a "rolling updates" so versions of software are not updated during a release, you have to wait for the next version of Ubuntu to get new software [00:33] Alpha-DOG, No, you cannot make a botnet in linux. It's impossible. [00:33] ZykoticK9, : I am using latest 9.10 [00:33] I'm sure everybody agrees with me [00:33] !ati | crogeek [00:33] crogeek: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:33] and I saw that Firefox isn't updated, even in software rep. I didn't see any new ver [00:33] thought so couse u have no tools :) [00:33] Alpha-DOG: there are computing clusters, if that's what you mean. but botnets are illegal and offtopic. [00:33] crogeek, yes, but until you update to Lucid - you wan't see Firefox 3.6 in the repo [00:34] s/wan't/won't [00:34] crogeek: when there are updates the update manager should prompt you if nothing was changed in the notification settings. otherwise all is well. [00:34] ZykoticK9, : ah I see, this depends of version of Ubuntu? - So basically 3.6.2 isn't supported by 9.10 of ubuntu? [00:34] random question (pun). how would i go about generating a meg of random data using /dev/random. i know i can pipe it to a file, but how to stop it after a certain point? [00:34] Alpha-DOG, In other words, don't continue talking about it, and not only that but nobody likes botnets, so nobody is going to help you anyway. [00:34] crogeek, you can add PPAs to get new software [00:34] ok one more question // in internet u have a lot of shell for linux how to use them on linux ?? [00:35] anyone know what the bst mp3 player to have winth linux is [00:35] BASH [00:35] bash [00:35] scott32: I'd think using 'dd' and bs=1024 count=1 [00:35] chelz, : that's okay, but as I see 3.5.8 has major security flaws and I don't wanna to have non-updated version of FF [00:35] yeah i know botnets are illegal but i was just asking [00:35] !best > bigtom21485 [00:35] bigtom21485, please see my private message [00:35] Alpha-DOG, leave your lamer script kiddie stuff at the door [00:35] chelz: still here? [00:36] bigtom21485 i prefer boxee but its more than just a mp3 player [00:36] zzzZoltan: yep [00:36] Typos_King: thanks! thats what i was looking for [00:36] chelz: nice, I solved it! :D [00:36] zenkerL how is it with syncing with ipods? [00:36] scott32: though 1024 is in bytes, that'd be a Kbs, and you want a Mbs :) [00:36] crogeek: ubuntu patches security flows and releases updates just for ubuntupackages [00:36] Alpha-DOG, Why would we possibly want to help you ruin the internet a little bit more? [00:36] I need some help with a library i compiled. g++ cant find it, but i compiled and installed it with "sudo make install" [00:36] zenker: how is it with syncing with ipods [00:36] bigtom21485 idk but im sure its pretty good at it [00:36] i was just asking i am not a pro sorry if that was bad i have 1 days using linux and i like it [00:36] crogeek: also flaws [00:36] chelz, : even in Firefox ? [00:36] crogeek: yes [00:37] chelz: a bit tricky. but the links you gave helped. I zeroed all superblocks. recreated the array with --assume-clean and resync'd it. and all data's there :D :D [00:37] hahaha, is that dude for real? [00:37] bigtom21485 although it is for linux it is also for windows and is a mainstream program [00:37] crogeek: all packages that come installed with ubuntu get all necessary security patches [00:37] Alpha-DOG, You started using linux so you could set up botnets and abuse people. [00:37] crogeek, if there is a security issue, packages get updated [00:37] zzzZoltan: good to hear. did the new drive get added okay? [00:37] chelz, : so this means (from my personal point of view) that Ubuntu dev. team can patch Firefox flaws even on outdated version on FF? [00:37] Zenker: that's great, ill give it a shot...did u isntall from a ppa, or the repo? [00:37] hm - well I was very long time on WinNT platform, so I don't know these rules [00:37] no man i just like linux haven't use botnets never just read about what they can do and saw videos on youtube that's all [00:37] chelz: everything seems to be up to date and sync'ed i'm going to do a --update=resync tomorrow just to verify but looks OK for now [00:37] but I found on google how to install 3.6.2 on 9.10-U [00:37] bigtom21485 i dl'd the deb from boxee.com or whatever the site was. [00:37] crogeek: yep. that's how 'fixed release' linux distributions work. they pick a version of some software and stick with it for the lifetime of the version. [00:38] zenker: thanks :-) [00:38] zzzZoltan: ah alright, good to hear [00:38] Alpha-Dog, you could set up a botnet in linux with the right tools and understanding, but you kind of gave yourself away to the world [00:38] chelz: thanks again! [00:38] hi [00:38] bye everybody [00:38] zenker: ive tried several programs to no avail, i pretty much ahd given up and was actually thinking about buying a refurb powerbook [00:38] why would anyone want to do that anyway [00:38] crogeek: for your ati, did you follow this yet?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:38] Alpha-DOG, Just find the button on your keyboard that says l33t h4x0r and go hack the gibson, zerocool [00:38] i cant change my resolution from 800x600 to anything higher using panasonic 50 inch hd tv [00:39] sprung, LMFAO [00:39] bigtom21485 personally i dont sync, i just plug it in and dragn drop but i dont have an "ipod" its a colby orsmthin [00:39] ok ok, enough offtopic. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:39] Angelina was hott-uh in that movie [00:39] Hack the planet!! [00:39] zenker: is it sync capable? [00:39] chelz, : I will try to fix that, because I cannot get to run 3d effects on my Ubuntu with radeon 9600 also Adobe's Flash is running very slow on Streaming flash based web sites, I disabled hardware acceleration and that is now working well, but some lags are there still :( [00:39] no better nasa i can't make like those stuff they are simple :D ( JOKE ) :P [00:40] how do u make mdadm startup automatically every time u boot ubuntu? [00:40] bigtom21485 yes but the prog it comes with only works in windows, and i havent tried to sync in ubuntu [00:40] Alpha-Dog, please make like a fly and shoe [00:40] after install firefox 3.6 do a simbolic link to firefox to /usr/bin [00:40] kmm: you might find your answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [00:41] bigtom21485 there is another prog that is in the repos called moovidea, but idk if it supports sync or not [00:41] kmm: what's mdadm? [00:41] randomusr: after you type the first few letters of an irc nickname, you can hit the tab key to autocomplete the nick. similar to tab autocompletion in the terminal. [00:41] Typos_King: it's a RAID thing [00:41] chelz, thanx [00:41] ohh [00:41] Typos_King: to learn more about it you can read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [00:42] ok sorry i was typing bored questions but everyone or some of you knows dota-allstars game i searched a bit is a version for linux ? [00:42] kmm: I'd assume you can 'add' it to your 'boot services' if isn't already there, then you can just enable it [00:42] so, I installed the vim-runtime package so that I could try 'vimtutor'; however, when I run the newly installed vimtutor, it opens a blank file in the /tmp directory instead of the tutorial.

[02:01] Burzmali: do you want to have different monitors view different workspaces? [02:02] chelz, got it! log out worked! thanks! [02:02] chelz: Nope, I have a program open in Wine on one desktop that is running at 640 x 480 and I would like my other desktop to stay at it's default resolution [02:03] dnivra: if you want you could try taking that line out of apt.conf and seeing if it's still fixed [02:04] Burzmali: that would require running two x servers and having one workspace be for the 2nd xserver [02:04] chelz, the file's empty. cleaned it just before logging out just to check if it works. [02:04] What would be the easiest way to develop GUI applications?

My teacher who i was getting vb.net from showed me C++ and i took to it easily [02:10] DVA5912: yeah MonoDevelop and Eclipse are both the most similar to that since they're IDEs. there are editors like Kate and Gedit and although they have plugins to do a lot of nifty things, they'll not do as much as an IDE [02:11] DVA5912: from your C# experience i'd recommend you stick with MonoDevelop [02:11] matmat: one moment [02:11] if you need a ui builder, there is glade.gnome.org on the gtk side [02:11] not sure about the quality of what it puts out though [02:12] matmat: what videocard do you have? [02:12] chelz: well. on my position now, im in the spot where i can switch my development tools [02:12] chelz: MonoDevelop is its own IDE though right?

[03:49] Zenker: you mean you want to have a media pc connected to your tv and control it from another computer? [03:49] davebs1 not exactly, to sum it up, i want 2 play movies from my puter on my tv :) [03:50] but wirelessly [03:50] yes and no? You need something that can plug into your tv's video and audio inputs [03:51] I have a general question thats been bugging me for the past few days... [03:51] yep, and i want the computer to connect to it wirelessly [03:51] yeah, you can do that [03:51] get an acer revo [03:51] put xbmc live on it [03:51] I did buy a mini netbook " Toshiba NB 200-134, it camed with windows7, i've deleted the windows7 and i did install Ubuntu 9.10. The problem is that when i restart it tooks more then 20 min to start the system. The only thing i can do to the system start is pressing " Enter " a few times. I've tried to see videos on youtube but there is no sound coming out from the computer. The only sound i listen is when i connect the headphones. [03:51] and setup shares for your movies on your file server [03:51] and add them to xbmc, then stream them [03:52] streaming is iffy on wireless, but for the most part it works [03:52] Can anyone help me with this problem because the mini netbook has 2 days [03:52] what will be done for the release names once they reach "Z"?? [03:52] anybody using skype who can call me once to test something. No need to talk :) "Hello" will suffice :| [03:52] smerz, why don't you just use echo [03:53] sille777: They'll probably wrap around to A, but we've got a few more years before we have to worry about that [03:53] smerz: Echo123 [03:53] yeah well [03:53] echo can't call be back :( [03:53] there is no callback service for skype [03:53] Arobic Aracnid? [03:53] ahh thank you davebs1 guess i should just use a wired device,,that way its reliable, i just didnt want to be rooted by all those wires:) [03:53] echo works fine [03:53] i need someone to call me real quick :( [03:53] smerz real quick rofl [03:53] yeah. enter a nick. dial [03:53] if it arrives i know it works [03:54] doesn't take long :( [03:54] smerz, just make a second acount and test... [03:54] cannot login from same ip [03:54] dont have access to another one [03:54] but forget about it [03:54] hi, guys. I'm trying to add an update repository for firefox, but the server says it doesn't have the requested key, like this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5DcuFuS4 . Could you give me a hand to find out how to solve this ? [03:54] sure you can login from the same ip, if you don't how corporative networks uses skype? [03:54] smerz i will but ull have 2 explain what u need me 2 do [03:55] Hello! If i update to Lucid Alpha 3 with update-manager -d and then keep applying updates with update manager, will I have the same thing on release day as installing Lucid, or will I update-manager -d again at that time, and get a whole bunch more updates? [03:55] look for "smerz1" and dial [03:55] thats all [03:55] maginot, i did try that indeed from a vmware running windows [03:55] I've turned off sleep on my computers through power options, but when I come home, one of them is always asleep. It's important that they not go to sleep because they are connected through synergy+ (control 2 computers & 2 monitors with 1 keyboard/mouse through software). Any idea how I can tell my computers to not go to sleep or power down or hibernate or anything along those lines? [03:55] Ok i finished my testing, and yea. I can't use Ubuntu until I resolve this. During light activity the GPU core temp on linux goes between 60-70 just for light activity. On windows it will stay around 58 typically even during heavy 3D rendering, it sometimes goes to 61 but that's only if the fans haven't kicked in [03:55] l3lackwood: you'll have the same thing. [03:56] l3lackwood: Lucid discussion and support goes in #ubuntu+1, btw. [03:56] Hello [03:56] hi [03:56] Something isn't doing the cooling right here. And this particular graphics card model has a history of melting, so the combination of these two is quite bad [03:56] where is the Xfix in recovery mode ? [03:57] smerz, pvt me with your screen name and I give you a quick call if that is the problem [03:57] i see smerz but not smerz1 [03:57] oh, already got a volunteer.. =) [03:57] hmm my login is smerz1 . As name I entered "Heinz Otto" :-| [03:57] i dont know what skype goes by [03:58] my screen resolution got changed auto.. now how i cant reset it.. i want to XFIX in recovery mode like in previous versions of ubuntu.. anyone got a idea ? [03:58] *an idea ? [03:58] rww so on release day will update-manager-d show a version update available? there would be nothing much there besides changing signage for the help menu and such... Do I essentially keep synched with the daily build by doing this? [03:58] rww thanks BTW [03:58] maginot, Zenker didn't realise i was talking about skype :| [03:59] l3lackwood: Once you upgrade to Lucid, you'll be on Lucid. If you continue doing regular updates through the development cycle, you'll be on Lucid final when it comes out. [03:59] im getting a problem where i have to kill the main focused window in X cas the windowing system basicly hangs, is this a common problem? [03:59] l3lackwood: you might want to check in #ubuntu+1 before starting this, btw, they were having some issues with upgrades the other day and I don't know if they've been resolved. [03:59] maginot, thanks. It didn't work [03:59] many thanks [03:59] rww thanks, now I'll find out where and ubuntu+1 is. first time here [03:59] stevecam: could you explain more? [04:00] smerz, I didn't call.. just requested to be added [04:00] ah [04:00] hehe [04:00] l3lackwood: type this in the same place you're typing messages: /join #ubuntu+1 [04:00] davebs1, what sort of things would you like me to explain? [04:00] anyone know anything helpful about this? I was holding off on the nouveau drivers since I have to get a newer version of X to run em [04:00] rww many thanks, will I still be here? [04:00] smerz, I have no microphone here, but I could hear your [04:00] *you [04:00] l3lackwood: yes [04:00] its happened in opera, and rhythmbox, i dont think it is the apps [04:00] my screen resolution got changed auto.. now how i cant reset it.. i want to XFIX in recovery mode like in previous versions of ubuntu.. anyone got a idea ? [04:00] smerz if u wait a few mins while i switch 2 windows n install skype ill still do it ive always wanted 2 play around w skype anyhow :) [04:01] Maginot thanks very much. My skype to sip gateway works superb :) [04:01] stevecam: I don't think it's a common problem, but could you give a specific example? [04:01] Zenker, thanks very much. Maginot was so kind to quickly to call me :) === ShakaGoldSaint is now known as elshaka [04:01] smerz, Hmm are you working with TLS too ? [04:01] TLS? [04:01] smerz ahh ok kewl, is there skype for ubuntu? [04:01] Zenker yes. Skype for ubuntu works outstanding [04:01] smerz, never mind, just thought you were working with something similar them some of my fellows [04:02] where do i get it? [04:02] davebs1, i was in opera, and then i try and do something the majority of the graphical interface starts hanging, you might get little interaction like moving your mouse over a text box might change it [04:02] you can download an ubuntu package @ skype.com BUT there is no need to call me. Maginot called me to test my setup here. So no need to help me out :) But many thanks [04:02] rww thanks got it now! [04:02] and then it happened again in rhythmbox [04:02] ahh nvm i just found it [04:02] i want help about joomla. who can help me [04:02] stevecam: Do you have conky by any chance? What's the rest of the system doing at this point? CPU, RAM, disk read/write, etc? [04:03] stevecam: and what about processes as far as cpu and mem usage [04:03] how do i fix my GUI without xfix in REcovery mode ?? is there any way ? is it possible or total reinstall of koala ? [04:03] i wan mod video hwdvideo for ubuntu [04:03] So if anybody want's to setup an Skype to SIP gateway now using ubuntu ask me now :-----) [04:04] smerz, I was working on something different, using zrtp.. but not directly with skype [04:04] davebs1, not much, i dont have conky, everything else i have running in console seems to be running with no slowdown so i didnt think that it was stuck in some sort of loop [04:04] smerz its says for ubuntu 8.10 will this work just as good for 9.10? [04:04] smerz, was a project to implement on asterisk [04:04] yes [04:04] Hey, I am on an ubuntu live CD and I need to get the name for the broadcom's proprietary STA driver so I can modprobe it. Doing it through the GUI requires a restart and on a live CD that won't work (this also seems like a bug to me) [04:04] smerz: did you build the sip gw? [04:04] I dual boot my laptop, and recently when the dual boot screen pops up i have three different selections for ubuntu (i think maybe 3 versions of the kernel?) how do i get rid of the 2 oldest ones [04:04] maginot, skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_amd64.deb worked for me. So the intrepid packages are good for jaunty too [04:05] greezmunkey, yes Skype to SIP and SIP to Skype [04:05] ScottG489 modprobe -r ssb b43 wl && modeprobe wl [04:05] smerz: nice. [04:05] greezmunkey, but I haven't configured it as a background service yet [04:05] iflema: alright [04:05] HOW DO I FIX MY GUI WITHOUT XFIX OPTION IN RECOVERY MODE ??.. i always got this problem in my previous ubuntu jaunty but xfix fixed it.... now it.s not there.. now how do i fix it ? [04:05] stevecam: I'd suggest setting up conky to monitor cpu usage, ram, disk i/o and top 5 processes in terms of memory and cpu intensity. When things take a dump, you will be able to see what processes are screwing up and will be able to work from there [04:05] need to put it onto the local server. So I all skype calls just come through on my hardware SIP phone :-D [04:06] iflema: It's required to remove those other ones for wl to work? [04:06] I've turned off sleep on my computers through power options, but when I come home, one of them is always asleep. It's important that they not go to sleep because they are connected through synergy+ (control 2 computers & 2 monitors with 1 keyboard/mouse through software).

[04:24] root____1, so just ran X -configure and copy the newly generated xorg.conf.new on your directory to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:24] ScottG489 it would save a restart ;) [04:24] sadrolla, /dev/ is sort of the address to a device. Could be /dev/modem [04:25] DarkVoid82: sorry. i don't know. ask other members here. but in legacy grub it is just inserting a hash before the unwanted entries.. but no idea with grub 2..... ask here or on the ubuntuforums [04:25] archan: ok thanks tho [04:26] DarkVoid82: but how do the extra options bother you ? :P leave it, download some movies isntead of splitting your brain with manual methods :P :P :P [04:26] anyone? : Ubuntu using prop nvidia drivers causes X to periodically flash black for a brief second. And the GPU's running 5-10 degrees (Cel) hotter than I can get it to run in windows under any condition. There a way to fix this, or perhaps are the nouveau drivers worth trying out? I was kinda hoping for getting the prop drivers to work since I need to do 3D openGL stuff. I need kinda some... [04:26] ...kind of solution since I don't have time to try every possible option : in the sense that this risks messing up my graphics card if I leave the computer on too long [04:26] DarkVoid82: :P sorry , though [04:26] maginot: i am no expert.. i don't understand [04:27] Would anyone mind assisting with a bit of an issue? I just installed 9.10 and when it goes into the logon screen, while loading, with the little white scrolling bit, my monitor will turn on for 2 seconds, then turn off and tell me there's no signal. [04:27] maginot: the command you gave (previously) didnt work [04:27] This it will do forever and not load at all.. :( [04:27] archan: it doesn't bother me per se, but i'd like to get rid of the extra choices :P:P:P and still have to figure out how to mount my dvdrom drive so i can watch movies [04:27] Just keeps flashing. [04:27] Orin, to clarify : is this before or after you see the option to log in [04:27] Before. [04:27] or do you just see the loading screen right before that [04:28] Loading screen just before it. [04:28] I'm having this problem on one of my other linux computers [04:28] okay here's a dumb question, how do you change your computers name? lol [04:28] try this out : hold shift during boot to get to grub [04:28] boot into recovery mode [04:28] then tell it to do normal boot, you'll be able to log in to a commandline version [04:28] from there, type 'startx' [04:28] DarkVoid82: are you new to ubuntu ?? configure mouting dvd rom ?? i just insert and it works for me. ! !! [04:28] root____1, which command, X -configure ? sure it does... [04:29] It's a bit of a circular solution, but i haven't been able to figure out what causes that problem [04:29] so at the very least you might have a way to log in [04:29] this is assuming you're having the same issue [04:29] maginot: sorry, but you can you give me it again.. plz [04:29] archan: yes i'm new :S, and it doesn't run when i put a disk in [04:29] Gelfling: ubuntu tweak ! [04:29] hmm? [04:29] Orin : oh : is your graphics card an onboard chip or something else that's a sufficiently non-common piece of hardware? [04:29] smerz: tnx , but pppconfig says ... unrecognized option '/dev/modem' [04:30] On-board. [04:30] Gelfling: ! ? [04:30] nm i figured it out [04:30] editing hostname [04:30] Gelfling in a termainal you could use sudo hostname followed by the name..... [04:30] it was so simple i got lost =P [04:30] Ah yea. I think you have the same issue [04:30] whatever it is [04:31] root____1, X -configure, X not x ... and after that you will find in the directory a file called xorg.conf.new just copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:31] Orin : do that sequence i said. It should work. For me it also will allow the computer to boot normally the next couple times before reverting to being screwy [04:32] Btw : can anyone read up and solve Orin's problem? I have no clue what's going on with that, but it was bothering me too a while back (I have a couple linux computers, and that's the current problem on *that* one. The question I keep asking tonight is for my laptop) [04:32] Airris, thanks. That worked... [04:32] Strange, huh? [04:32] Indeed... [04:32] maginot: brb [04:33] I think the bootup sequence doesn't like reading some of the onboard graphics chipsets [04:33] maginot: btw, how do i exist irrsi ? first time using irssi !! [04:33] and starting X manually gives it a better shot of working [04:33] exit [04:33] root____1, /quit ? [04:34] That's definitely a bit of a pain, but on the bright side - it's an added level of security. :D [04:34] lol [04:34] Thanks a lot, mate. [04:34] Undocumented feature? [04:34] hello [04:34] Orin : I keep a post-it note on that particular tower with instructions on how to boot it :P [04:35] It'd be nice to find out what the hell is going on with that. For me it actually flashes an error message before refusing to boot normally, but it's up there for like 0.5 seconds so I can't really see what's going on [04:35] Can I use wireless from the live CD? [04:35] Pfah! Most my roomies have an allergy to computers, aside from WoW, so they'll never need to know. [04:35] Airris: Can you use Pause/Break button to freeze it for a bit so you could read the error? [04:36] Ghost|BTFH: unless my reflexes become super-human, probably not [04:36] It's literally up there for an instant [04:36] before the screen goes blank [04:36] Airris: I've done it before with really speedy errors like that...takes a little timing but you can get 'em after awhile. [04:37] Ugh, I have *got* to do something about this chat format...this is the ugliest damned thing in the world. [04:37] brb. [04:37] Ghost|BTFH: the other problem is it doesn't happen consistently. Like it happens enough to be a problem but not on every boot. So usually when I try to do any kind of thing to probe for this error, the computer plays nice [04:37] :P [04:37] I got a note that I had restrcted drivers [04:37] Yes, they have a habit of trying to hide when you're ready for 'em. [04:37] but Orin! Thanks a lot. At first i thought it was the particular computer's fault [04:38] since that tower was a conglomeration of salavaged parts [04:38] but unless your computer is also of that nature, I don't think that's the reason [04:38] I got the broadcom drivers but I still can't see the wireless [04:38] omg, that's better. [04:38] anyone here good with atftpd? I cant get it to start. [04:39] Don't switch Empathy to "blue" for it's theme. [04:39] * Ghost|BTFH shudders [04:39] but yea Ghost, i was wondering if there's some logfile for the boot messages i could enable [04:39] that way i could just turn that on and wait. [04:39] I'm trying to keep X from running at boot; I have run "update-rc.d -f gdm remove"; gdm has been deleted from all rcn.d/ but gdm still starts at boot; what symlinks from rcn.d's do I have to remove to keep X from booting? [04:39] the error would have to come up eventually :P [04:39] Airris: Is it BIOS based error or Ubuntu based? [04:39] !broadcom | Daskreech [04:40] Daskreech: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:40] Ghost|BTFH: I think it'd be Ubuntu, since it gets past BIOS and fails during Ubuntu trying to load [04:40] Airris: So you hear the system beep, then the error? [04:41] no, i don't think there's a beep : oh hey what the hell lets try and boot this computer now and see what happens [04:41] it sits right next to my desk as a secondary === mOOey is now known as m00se [04:41] watch it boot up without issue : but it's worth a try [04:41] \list [04:41] Airris: If there's an error, THEN the beep later, that's BIOS. If it gives you it's happy beep and then the error, that's OS. [04:41] join #linux [04:41] \LIST [04:42] * Ghost|BTFH hands babuy a / [04:42] !list | babuy [04:42] babuy: 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 » [04:42] Ghost|BTFH: lets assume it's Ubuntu-based, what kind of logging would i have to turn on to catch it? The last time i asked about this someone told me to turn a logging option on, but that thing has to be enabled each boot : which is a problem when the problem occurs before the system's booted up :P [04:43] iflema, http://paste.ubuntu.com/407396/ [04:43] what is the line I should write in Terminal to install latest stable Firefox? [04:43] Airris: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles should have all the information you need about logs (And were afraid to ask) [04:44] Although it *might* be a grub issue (although I doubt it, grub is usually very loud and proud about it's issues) [04:45] i totally broke GIMP [04:45] it won't work [04:45] at all [04:45] Shazzypants: 'grats, that is not easy to do at all. [04:45] I'm thinking it's not a grub issue either [04:45] since if it was grub, why would the alternate work-around through recovery mode work? [04:45] Airris: I'm guessing it's probably kernel then. [04:45] Ghost|BTFH, is that sarcasm I see? [04:45] well, I started compiling one of the new ones [04:46] Shazzypants: No, quite honestly - It's pretty damned hard to break gimp. [04:46] I use it daily. [04:46] well I broke it [04:46] Shazzypants: So, how did you unlock this achievement? [04:46] nvm I play video games [04:46] compile fail [04:46] and then I tried to apt-get it instead [04:46] and now just broken [04:46] Daskreech im assuming you have looked at the hardware drivers under the desktop menu System / Administration / Hardware Driver..... [04:46] everything [04:46] wrooooooooooooooooom [04:46] but I'm going to play video games [04:46] --> [04:46] Shazzypants: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:47] I don't like you FloodBot2 [04:47] Shazzypants: reinstall it; sudo apt-get remove gimp then sudo apt-get install gimp [04:47] iflema, Says that it's running [04:47] danx, that does not work [04:47] Shazzypants: Ooooo...yeah, yeah...sounds like you have stuff crossed over. [04:47] also you can just do 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gimp' [04:47] Shazzypants: try sudo apt-get purge gimp, then install gimp [04:47] I did that too [04:47] it did not work [04:47] Shazzypants: Here's a wild idea, also make sure you delete .gimp [04:48] From your home directory [04:48] I should do that [04:48] Shazzypants: run gimp from terminal and pastebin the errors [04:48] You should do that. [04:48] i dont have home directory [04:48] Hey how do I check to see if I'm running Compiz? [04:48] danx, I already did that I believe [04:48] iflema, It says activated and currently in use [04:48] oh no I didn't [04:48] Shazzypants: pastebin the errors. [04:48] gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libgegl-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [04:48] that's it === usr32432 is now known as msdos [04:48] but that's installed [04:48] I know this [04:48] wrooooooooooooooooooooooom [04:48] Shazzypants: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:48] because I installed it [04:48] Shazzypants: reinstall libgegl [04:49] NathanBdot: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects tab. [04:49] msdos: do you have an Ubuntu Support question? [04:49] sure === msdos is now known as Guest47186 [04:49] should i use msdos or linux? [04:49] Ghost|BTFH, Ok so if my windows are wobbly, then it's on right? [04:49] Guest47186: do you have a Ubuntu Support question? [04:50] ubuntu? no i have zubuntu [04:50] mudubuntu too [04:50] danx, yeah done [04:50] it didn't do anything [04:50] I'm going to purge [04:50] Guest47186: Well, linux is generally for smart people, or at least people who've developed opposable thumbs and know how to use them on a mouse...msdos...hmmm...not really supported anymore...but good for stupid people...tough call... [04:50] and remove .gimp [04:50] Shazzypants: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:50] Guest47186: if you want to chat, please pick some other channel. This is for Ubuntu support only, not random chatting [04:50] NathanBdot: Exactly. :) [04:50] that's the only thing I haven't tried yet so far that anyone has said here [04:51] Ghost|BTFH, thanks :) [04:51] hmm, ok I'm going to remember that page with the logs [04:51] Shazzypants: And deleting .gimp. [04:51] i think the logs don't go far back enough to catch the last error [04:51] Airris: Hope it helps. [04:51] but thanks Ghost, this will probably bring light to the problem eventually :) [04:51] Airris: You could always keep turning it on and off until the PSU fries...then you'll KNOW there's an error that needs to be fixed. [04:51] i use this coomand sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon it says try to install the package sl-modem-modules-2.6.28-11-generic , but pack not is in repo [04:52] Shazzypants: pruge is supposed to delete .gimp directory I believe; gimp complains about libgegl not being able to load, you should fix the libgegl problem; find where the .so file fro libgegl is [04:52] yeah it did [04:52] okay [04:52] lol I could. hey lets go for it! [04:52] I'm going to go play video games [04:52] sorry I didn't mean to start people trying to help then leave [04:52] but that's what I'm going to do.... [04:52] Hello... where did that counter go anyway? [04:53] I'm trying to keep X from running at boot; I have run "update-rc.d -f gdm remove"; gdm has been deleted from all rcn.d/ but gdm still starts at boot; what symlinks from rcn.d's do I have to remove to keep X from booting? === mOOey is now known as m00se [04:53] Shazzypants: Eh, it's all about priorities. [04:53] ok : back to the question i originally came in here for, now that Orin's thing is taken care of [04:53] anyone? : Ubuntu using prop nvidia drivers causes X to periodically flash black for a brief second. And the GPU's running 5-10 degrees (Cel) hotter than I can get it to run in windows under any condition. There a way to fix this, or perhaps are the nouveau drivers worth trying out? I was kinda hoping for getting the prop drivers to work since I need to do 3D openGL stuff. I need kinda some... [04:53] ...kind of solution since I don't have time to try every possible option : in the sense that this risks messing up my graphics card if I leave the computer on too long === Guest47186 is now known as mudududubuntu [04:54] Airris: So by prop drivers, you mean you're using the drivers directly from nvidia or the ones in ubuntu? [04:54] the ones from Nvidia [04:54] Airris: Good show. I'd check your settings then. [04:54] Airris: nouveau drivers will come in 10.04; if you are using 10.04 beta, go to #ubuntu+1 [04:55] danx nope this is 9.10 [04:55] no its 5:55 here [04:55] Airris: Check your powermizer settings. [04:56] Oh wait... [04:56] Do you have Compiz running? [04:56] It doesn't let me edit anything, but i find it disconcerning that it says [04:56] Compiz? [04:56] Airris: Did you install Ubuntu and not alter anything? [04:56] Airris: 9.10 kernel doesn't have nouveau drivers; have you tried the drivers in 'restricted' repo? (the ones you install with jockey) [04:56] danx : yea, although on recommendation from this channel i installed the drivers using synaptic [04:57] how do i stop udev renaming my ethernet ports? [04:57] Airris: Go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects tab. [04:57] Ghost : define not altering, I've installed some packages, but nothing that should seriously effect the kernal [04:57] zealiod: Why would it do that? o_O mine has always been eth0 [04:57] Airris: Is it set for "Normal"? [04:57] yep [04:57] Airris: Turn it to "None" [04:58] oh, right : that sentence i was going to finish [04:58] Quick question (yes ive googled), anyone gotten GMA500 to work with 10.04? [04:58] Airris: Your GPU temp will drop. [04:58] MatthewH12: Try #ubuntu+1 [04:58] Is it bad that in powermizer, the temp it's supposed to throttle things at is set to 0? [04:58] what's it called, Shutdown Threshold or something [04:58] ty Ghost|BTFH [04:58] Airris: Meh, mine shows the same thing. I have zero issues. [04:58] how do I install stable firefox? what terminal command should I run? (sorry for my internet connection) [04:59] winXPuser, Firefox should already be installed if you're running Ubuntu [04:59] Ghost|BTFH : that might help the issue, but I think this is something more serious. light activity should NOT get the GPU hotter than it gets on windows when I'm doing 3D graphics rendering [04:59] winXPuser: firefox stable version comes installed in Ubuntu by default. [04:59] NathanBdot: suppose I uninstalled it, what should I run then? [05:00] just open the "Ubuntu Software Center" and search "Firefox" [05:00] no, in Terminal [05:00] it hits 65-70 running midori and viewing a PDF [05:00] Airris: Well, give it a bit and check it. [05:00] winXPuser: do "sudo apt-get install firefox" [05:00] if you want to use terminal probably: sudo apt-get install firefox [05:00] theadmin: ok thanks [05:00] ubuntu [05:00] Airris: Because it *might* just be the issue. I know on some older cards, Compiz shoves it into a corner and makes it cry. [05:00] theadmin, aw! you beat me to it [05:01] NathanBdot: Well, happends sometimes :P [05:01] I'll try, but hmm [05:01] ;) [05:01] would Compiz be interfering with the fan turning on? :P [05:01] Airris: I had to turn it off on my wife's laptop because it was cookin' the vid card. [05:01] Grah, i just mounted my external drive and now everything is slow as a turtle, what the heck?! [05:01] Airris: No, but a bad wire could do that... :P === dgeary2_ is now known as dgeary2 [05:01] Airris: Or a wire in an inappropriate location... [05:02] well luckily the merits of a dual-boot : the hardware is probably ok since it functions all nice in windows [05:02] I can have the GPU running at full load and it'll stay at a cool 58 degrees :D [05:02] ok that's actually 125 or something in F, so maybe "cool" is relative [05:02] Hey how do I enable dragging windows between workspaces? [05:02] Airris: Well, if it works in Windoze and doesn't in 'nix, then the drivers would be the primary suspect on that...there's a setting being changed in 'doze that's not being done in 'nix. [05:02] yea. [05:03] i am looking for a free sawmill alternative, can anyone recommend a good general purpose log parser? [05:03] albech: grep [05:03] NathanBdot: You can do that defaultly methinks. Just drag them in that applet (there are "windows" there, drag those. [05:03] blakkheim: i am not going to write my own [05:03] Airris: No, Compiz don't affect to that level; it only eats some VRAM and few process power; if you installed the driver from nvidia site adjust the settings with its GUI (I think is under system-admin) use the same settings you use on windows, lowering the frequency may help the flickering [05:04] danx: "some"? It eats a ton of memory. [05:04] danx : it doesn't let me adjust anything, i did some research and apparently this is an acknowledge flaw of the drivers for linux [05:04] theadmin, I should be able to drag them to the edge of the screen by default, but it's not working... [05:04] you have do it manually or some such [05:04] well i mean it doesn't let you adjust important things like the powermizer settings [05:04] theadmin: it's not THAT bad, firefox eats like 5x more :P [05:04] danx: Uh, really?... somehow MINE firefox eats nearly nothing :/ [05:05] I've fallen in love with the midori browser but that's another story [05:05] hi i want a good video encoder [05:05] theadmin, I can't drag anything to my space-switcher either... [05:05] Avidemux doesnt use both my cores efficiently :/ [05:05] hey : do the default display drivers for ubuntu do basic things like telling the graphics card to turn on it's fan and stuff? [05:06] Airris: hot gpu? [05:06] papul, for mp4/mkv (doesn't do avi anymore) check out Handbrake [05:06] theadmin: firefox is always number 1 in my top list (when I use it), anyways seems like Airris' problem is beyond our hands and just needs a better driver I guess. [05:06] and would there perhaps be a tempature reading program that runs on linux [05:06] saihtam : yep, light activity brings it 10 C higher than it should be at [05:06] Airris: There's mention about using nvclock to adjust the card's fan speed...hmmm... [05:06] danx: in my top list there is update-manager and Synaptic when they work [05:06] Airris: and you have external temp meter? [05:07] I'm trying to keep X from running at boot; I have run "update-rc.d -f gdm remove"; gdm has been deleted from all rcn.d/ but gdm still starts at boot; what symlinks from rcn.d's do I have to remove to keep X from booting? [05:07] saihtam : nope, this is what the graphics card's sensor is saying it's at, but since the hardware works fine in windows i'm thinking it's not a hardware problem [05:08] Airris: nothing to worry about either windows or linux shows +/-20 [05:08] danx, to disable GDM on karmic you can use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" [05:08] saihtam : wha? [05:08] ZykoticK9: thanks I'll try that [05:08] danx: it's because of upstart [05:08] saihtam: You know, I forgot about that...that's true, they do fluctuate a bit. [05:09] saihtam: also, getting an external sensor is kinda out of the question here, this is a laptop and the internals are rather tightly packed :P [05:09] Airris: yes look at Ghost|BTFH [05:09] Airris: He's saying (And accurately) that Windows/Linux don't always agree on the temp settings...one is usually a bit liberal and one's usually a bit conservative. [05:09] they are not always correct [05:09] wastrel: yes upstart complciates things, I miss /etc/inittab :p [05:09] sigh, ntfs-3g is so SLOW. It's copying a 6GB folder for 5 minutes already. [05:10] Airris: I forgot about that, freaked out the first time I ever saw my CPU temps in Linux. [05:10] Thought the whole system was going to blow up. [05:10] Ghost|BTFH: hmm. Ok new experiment, going back to what I said earlier : the default ubuntu drivers won't be as shiny but they should do basic things like making the GPU run its fans and stuff right? [05:10] Ok... "Appearance Preferences" just froze on me... how do i force it to quit? [05:10] Airris: yes === papul is now known as papul|offline [05:10] Airris: just not show the same temp like in win [05:10] NathanBdot: try hitting alt+f2 and typing "metacity --replace". This will temporarily disable compiz [05:10] so I think the real test would be to take the Nvidia drivers off, and see what the temp is then [05:11] ZykoticK9: thanks, it worked! [05:11] danx, glad to help [05:11] Airris: think it would be the same you have the same temp sensor :) [05:11] hi [05:11] Airris: That would be possible...you could also check which version of the drivers is currently recommended for 'nix too. [05:11] so just $metacity --replace ? [05:11] won't 10.04 be released today? [05:11] i want to move a system dir from one drive to another, can i simply move it, create a symbolic link for it in the original place and expect it to work ? [05:11] i got the recommended pair [05:11] theadmin, [05:11] kraut: no [05:11] I've seen massive changes from rolling back 1 version or going forward one version. [05:11] !lucid | kraut [05:11] kraut: 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 [05:11] kraut: 29th April, 2010 === papul|offline is now known as papul [05:12] meh! [05:12] thanks [05:12] but you guys are saying the logic on this experiment is sound : to compare temp with and without the nvidia drivers? [05:12] kraut: Get the beta if you want :D [05:12] theadmin, didn't work... [05:12] kraut: That means you don't want to get it until around May 5th. [05:12] NathanBdot: How can you know? :D [05:12] theadmin: no no, i want to wait until it will be released [05:12] kraut: Ubuntu releases are in general on the last thursday of November and April [05:12] Airris: sounds intresting [05:12] OK, should I install the 64-bit or 32-bit flash? [05:12] I'm just *really* paranoid since this model of graphics card has already cooked itself once under normal conditions, the tech that replaced it says they melt really easily [05:12] theadmin, it's definately disabled, but it appearance preferences is still there and won't go away... [05:12] so I want to be REALLY sure that the cooling system is working properly :P [05:13] Are the improvements noticeable? [05:13] kraut: That way your repositories you love will be set up properly, all your extra stuff will work correctly, and the updates will have the major bug patches. ;) [05:13] i thought 10._04_ is for april and since today is the first april... ;) [05:13] when i do [05:13] kraut : are you really going to download an operating system on April Fools Day? [05:13] kraut: It comes out on April 29th [05:13] when i do "sudo apt-get install handbrake" i get error coulnd fine package [05:13] * Airris snickers [05:13] Airris: hehe [05:13] danx: yeah, i also got that info :) [05:13] NathanBdot: Yes, it doesn't change the settings, and will return on next login, you have to change it manually. [05:13] kk [05:13] thanks and bye [05:14] papul, it's not in the repo -- download DEB from http://handbrake.fr/ [05:14] k [05:14] Airris: But seriously, you may want to check out nvclock too. [05:14] nvclock? [05:14] theadmin, I'm not trying to change the settings....i'm trying to make the setitngs window go away [05:14] Airris: bet your gfx feels just fine, I just know lm-sensors is not showing the same like windows [05:15] theadmin, ok. i finally got a "XYZ is not responding" message and was able to force it to quit. [05:15] problem solved. [05:15] Airris: You sound like a Su of graphics, so you might want to have a bit more than generic control over your vid card. [05:15] Airris: not ask why because I should't use windows :) [05:15] nvclock can give you that. [05:15] NathanBdot, alt+f2 - xkill then click the windows (xkill isn't too good but i don't know what appearance preferences runs as) [05:15] NathanBdot: Oh! That. Try "xkill" in any terminal, then click on window OR use "killall application" [05:15] does nvclock have a temperature read? [05:15] I may as well get that if i can use it for my little test [05:16] ZykoticK9, theadmin, thanks :) [05:16] Airris: Oooooh yeah, not to mention the ability to adjust fan speed, gpu speed, mem speed, etc. [05:16] k, sweet === Cream is now known as lol [05:17] Airris: Of course, it doesn't always work properly...you do have to have lmsensors set up correctly or you get crap like mine... [05:17] .. [05:17] GPU temperature: -388c Baby, I keep my system CHILLED. [05:17] lol! [05:17] ok how do i set up lmsensors so we don't have that disaster :P [05:18] doesn't work for all chipset anyway [05:19] and no disaster can happend when you configure lm-sensors [05:19] I think this computer's graphics card is a couple generations back so it should be ok [05:19] Airris: gdesklets-data I think has it clumped into there. [05:19] Might work w/o lmsensors then. [05:19] Anyhow, time for me to turn into a pumpkin. [05:19] actually i think I shouldn't even have this particular graphics card, i'm never buying a computer without doing more thorough research again [05:19] Have a good one all. :) [05:19] apparently the Quadro series is meant for doing CAD and stuff, not gaming. Frigging damnit [05:20] anyone here know how to get steam working on ubuntu? [05:20] does anyone know the name of a good mp4 player [05:20] Airris: what's the problem? its running the same as on your windows? [05:20] Untitled_only: VLC [05:20] Airris: supposedly with minor driver tweaks, quadro features can be had on consumer cards [05:20] t3chkommie, i believe PlayonLinux has a steam entry - don't use either myself [05:20] Untitled_only: SM Player works for me. Or VLC. [05:20] thanks [05:21] Untitled_only: i use smplayer with h264 hw accel [05:21] Airris, Where can I find the GPU temperature? [05:21] t3chkommie: You mean the gaming thing? [05:21] theadmin yes [05:21] NathanBdot, the Sensor Applet for Gnome shows my GPU as well as CPU temps [05:21] t3chkommie: go to http://winehq.org , see that [05:22] does anyone know of a program that i can use in a script that will tell me if a window is currently being dragged? [05:22] I'm going to try the VLC, if it doesn't work I'll try the other [05:22] ZykoticK9, sensor applet? [05:22] theadmin, i have tried alot of different things, havnt gotten anything to work yet, i was wondering if anyone has experience? [05:22] VLC rocks. [05:22] just wish it'd have a library system like iTunes. [05:22] can u guys suggest a good looking gkrellm alternative? [05:22] vlc worked for the one mp4 i've tried it on [05:22] NathanBdot, right click panel / add to panel / Hardware sensor monitor === dmb_ is now known as dmb [05:23] ZykoticK9, it's not there. [05:23] papul, conky ? [05:23] sux [05:23] NathanBdot, don't know then sorry [05:23] t3chkommie: Steam starts up with WINE fine... okay, let's just run this in the terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine1.2 [05:23] NathannBdot, is it ok if I add you? [05:23] sorry about the type O [05:24] Untitled_only, what do you mean "add me" [05:24] as friend on the irc [05:25] ok i gotta go, thanks for the help guys [05:25] Airris: Bye. [05:25] Airris, wait [05:25] please :) [05:25] Airris, Where do you get the GPU temperature? [05:25] Untitled_only, sure. didn't know you could do that with IRC. [05:26] NathanBdot, if you're using Nvidia -- Nvidia-settins has a Theremal Settings option that shows the GPU temp [05:26] yea with Pidgin. [05:26] NathanBdot: I was the one *asking* about how to do that, I'm not quite the expert, so unless you have an NV card with the propietary drivers i wouldn't know [05:26] :) [05:26] Airris, oh i thought i saw you commenting on your past GPU temp. [05:27] Airris, thanks though :) [05:27] np [05:27] night guys [05:27] can someone help me i just the whole tree. [05:27] ZykoticK9, I'm using nVidia but there's no Thermal settings options. [05:27] aetaric: trolling is offtopic. You're not being funny either. [05:27] NathanBdot, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:27] hello all. I have a new install of Server 9.1, I need to switch from DHCP to a static ip of 192.168.1.100, netmask of 255.255.255.0, and gateway of 192.168.1.1; this should be pretty easy to do, but I cannot seem to figure out how. [05:27] Lucid [05:28] also thanks the VLC meadia player is playing the mp4 video... later going 2 watch Ninja Assassin === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [05:28] Untitled_only, Oh ok. I remember now that Pidgin allows that [05:28] Untitled_only, you might want to add me on another messenger though because I'm not usually on IRC [05:28] NathanBdot, sorry man - your Lucid seems much different then mine (for whatever reason), i can't help sorry [05:29] it isn't trolling. today is april 1st. [05:29] does anyone know of a program that i can use in a script that will tell me if a window is currently being dragged? [05:29] ZykoticK9, no problem :) I appreciate your willingness to help :) [05:29] yea it's the best IRC client I think, supports video chat, and all like a free skype [05:30] Untitled_only, skype *is* free... [05:30] unless you're talking about the other "free" [05:30] haha [05:30] theadmin: ok, steam is installed... i went to the wine irc... no one there :( [05:30] NathanBdot: it never will be [05:30] I know but you can't call lan lines, for free [05:31] Pidgin allows you to call land lines for free? [05:31] Anyone here happen to have a Canon MP620 Multifunction printer? [05:31] yea if you get the plug in's [05:31] well I know I can [05:32] Untitled_only, which plugin? [05:32] hello, does anyone run iTunes under wine on their Ubuntu systems..? [05:32] I don't know the name but just go to the plug in menu and install them all [05:33] krups, i tired itunes and wine... never got it to work and wasted alot of time. ii think quicktime kept crashing. :( [05:33] my sound just went out on the VLC gotta take the sound off the IRC [05:33] Untitled_only, haha what an odd way to manage your CPU/memory usage :-P [05:33] I kno [05:34] but I makes my computer run faster... for some reason... lmao [05:34] t3chkommie: ah, alrighty, guess i'll have to install it on my windarz system.. :/ [05:34] Untitled_only, I stopped using it because my IRC windows came up black-on-black and no one in #pidgin tried to help me [05:34] selam :) emmiler [05:34] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=itunes+ubuntu [05:34] krups: are you just looking for ipod support? why itunes? [05:34] ananýzýn [05:34] amý [05:34] lan amciklar: D [05:35] yea there, ###holes [05:35] Ok i've got to run. Talk to you all later! :) [05:36] yea [05:37] where can i locate grub.conf in karmic? [05:38] anyone know a way I can convince apt to stop warning me It doesn't need all my lib*-dev packages anymore? === arathald is now known as arathald___ [05:39] DarkVoid82, if you're looking to config grub2 check the file /etc/default/grub === arathald___ is now known as arathald [05:39] \ [05:39] !grub2 > DarkVoid82 [05:39] DarkVoid82, please see my private message [05:40] Can anyone tell me where I might find the ./Configure string used to configure OpenSSL on Ubuntu? [05:40] hello [05:40] I've got the OpenSSL 1.0.0 source tarball and I'd like to install that, but have it completely overlay the existing 0.9.x install (i.e., sysconfdir, mandir, etc) [05:40] I had 3 lines to mount my windows partitions in /etc/fstab now when I try to reboot upon booting my display goes hay wire and I can't do anything and when I try to boot in recovery mode when the recovery menu opens I can't access anything and it says it failed to load devices (the one's I had in fstab) [05:41] Whisky_, I'd try downloading and booting off a LiveCD if you've got access. [05:41] Do you have the installer CD you used to install the version of Ubuntu you've currently got? [05:41] yes I just installed it last night. I'm a n00b to the Linux scene. [05:42] tje: maybe download and examine the source package? i dunno :/ [05:42] Whisky_, Try booting off the CD (use the 'try without installing' option)... Once the system is up, manually mount your hard drive, go in and edit the fstab and reboot. [05:43] how do I mount my drive when I'm logged in? [05:43] wastrel, Hmmm, not exactly my area of expertise. I'll give it a try. [05:43] it's supposed to be sda6 I think [05:43] i'd have a look myself but i'm super lazy [05:43] Whisky_, Once you're booted, run "dmesg | less" and find what your hard drive is. If it's /dev/sda6 as you suppose, run: mkdir /mnt/harddrive && mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/harddrive [05:44] Whisky_, From there, you can use whatever editor you want to edit /mnt/harddrive/etc/fstab. Just comment out the lines you added for the Windows partition(s). [05:45] thanks tje, i'll be back in a bit [05:45] let me try :) === liuxj_ is now known as liuxj [05:46] Whisky_, no problem [05:46] Does hibernate work on the live cd? [05:48] does anyone know of a program that i can use in a script that will tell me if a window is currently being dragged? [05:48] jmcantrell, define "being dragged" [05:49] hey [05:49] is randall here? === sam_ is now known as Guest5867 [05:50] maginot: um. not sure. mouse button depressed while window movement is happening? [05:50] jmcantrell, and you're wanting to be able to identify these events from a script? i.e., perl, bash, etc? [05:51] still here, if anyone needs me [05:51] jmcantrell, try changing you mouse theme... [05:51] tje: yes, preferably a shell script, but i'll take what i can get [05:51] the info would have to be exposed by the windowmanager [05:51] jmcantrell, you're probably missing the Move icon [05:51] maginot: what are you talking about? [05:51] jmcantrell, I don't think that's possible. I'm no X wizard, but I think the only thing you might be able to do from a shell is query the coordinates of a window [05:51] jmcantrell, oh, sorry, just made a confusion here [05:52] jmcantrell, maybe if you poll each window on a regular basis, you might be able to notice that a window was moved [05:52] tje: wmctrl can move/resize, wasn't sure if there was an equivalent for querying [05:54] Hello [06:06] hi there [06:06] ubuntu [06:06] whats the offtopic channel for germanyu? [06:06] tje: I'm back [06:07] glick: #ubuntu-de-offtopic [06:07] it boots fine now but the display still goes haywire at bootup around the login screen. When in recovery mode, I can get into command line fine now. Apparently it fails to load the display driver? [06:07] i'm essentially getting the same error on boot as this guy: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1409666 [06:07] nuvmedia or something like that [06:07] thanks flannel [06:07] this was after i did an apt-get upgrade [06:07] any ideas? [06:07] I accidentially entered the path to an image file into my shell. The result was just crazy. Does someone think it coud cause serious problems? [06:08] Aquina: Why was the image file set executable? [06:08] Aquina: no. Type "reset" to get rid of the funky binary stuff on your screen, and continue as normal. [06:08] Flannel: crappy non-permissions-using filesystem, I'd guess >.> [06:08] I set it executable. [06:08] tje? [06:09] that would do it too ;P [06:09] seems to be a common problem [06:09] and recent problem at htat [06:10] rww: I'm troubled with my new Kubuntu install. I can't get it to display properly because as soon as it bootsu up the login screen shows a mulititude of flashing rainbow colors. I can get into recovery mode and in shell but not graphically. Apparently some device nvumedia or something fails too when booting [06:10] My sound keeps going off when I switch apps... any clues? [06:11] My sound keeps going off when I switch apps... any clues? [06:11] ubottu: repeat | Untitled_only [06:11] Untitled_only: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [06:12] Whisky_, but the live session was fine? [06:12] Whisky_: I'm not exactly the best person to ask about graphical problems :\ [06:12] SeaPhor: yes it ran fine :( [06:12] rww: Ok :D [06:12] I'm locked out of ubuntu. Is there a page that shows how to get around this [06:12] thanks [06:12] mypcwontstart: What do you mean locked out? [06:13] have you checked in #kubuntu Whisky_ ? [06:13] SeaPhor: I edited my /etc/fstab and got the mounting windoze drives lines commented out but still get a haywire display [06:13] Untitled_only, maybe would be easier to get any help if you dig a little to get more clues about your sound problem, take a look at your logs, see if running the application from the console it output any error, etc [06:13] SeaPhor: Everyone's sleeping there :/ [06:13] i installed ubuntu but forgot the username and password I setup, Flannel [06:13] mypcwontstart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [06:13] ok let me check [06:13] Anyone use Konversation? [06:14] mypcwontstart: That'll let you reset the password, when you're at the root prompt, (step 2 of that page) do `cat /etc/passwd` and you'll see your username [06:14] Whisky_, do you have ATI graphics? [06:14] Whisky_, you're having issues with your framebuffer? [06:14] mypcwontstart: Actually, a more concise way would be `ls /home` [06:14] SeaPhor: It's a NVidia card in my notebook [06:14] mypcwontstart: That will give you only users that are real people, instead of all (including system stuff) [06:14] maginot: I don't know what that is. 1 day old Linux user. [06:15] Whisky_, your display problem is on the "black" boot screen, not after the loggin prompt being showed, right? [06:15] nope, it's not saying anything about my sound log [06:16] maginot: as soon as the booting finishes, the display problem starts [06:16] Whisky_, did you install anything else since ubuntu/kubuntu? [06:16] Untitled_only, did you looked at dmesg output, /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/user.log, /var/log/syslog, and so on? [06:16] Whisky_, updates? [06:17] Whisky_, so you can see the Ubuntu loading screen, but when you have to put the logging in the bot is where you have problems? [06:17] SeaPhor: I was installing updates and suddenly my laptop died because of low battery :( [06:17] ! ^ [06:17] oh noes [06:17] :'( [06:18] now? :( [06:18] I'm working with grub2 trying to get it to use 1400x1050 for my graphics resolution but I'm having no luck trying to get it to play nice; I set GRUB_GFXMODE=1400x1050 in /etc/default/grub but it wont show up in the final /boot/grub/grub.cfg file [06:18] Whisky_, I could tell you to boot from the CD chroot to your installed system and run apt-get -f install, but maybe it's a hard task for a 1 day user =/ [06:19] indrora-laptop, are you runing "sudo update-grub" after you make your changes? [06:19] Whisky_, can you get to a user-session at all,,, even in a tty? [06:19] maginot: No, I can do this no problem [06:19] SeaPhor: I can get to login in shell [06:19] ZykoticK9, Yes. [06:19] indrora-laptop: did you run" sudo update-grub" after that change? [06:19] indrora-laptop, ok, just checkin' [06:19] but I didn't have wifi enabled there so I couldn't connect to irssi either :/ [06:19] llutz, see above. [06:20] Whisky_, if you get a login shell you don't need the complicated part, just run apt-get -f install [06:20] maginot: even without internet? [06:20] llutz, great minds think alike. and simple minds think the same ;) [06:20] Whisky_, internet will be necessary to finish your instalation [06:20] maginot: I use WiFi, how do I connect? [06:21] Whisky_: assuming you were installing updatea and not just downloading them, you generally don't need internet access to finish an installation. [06:21] Whisky_, you will have to use iwconfig [06:21] Whisky_, can you hard-line a cat5 to the lappy for this? [06:21] ZykoticK9: too early to type + read at the same time ;( [06:21] SeaPhor: :| went over my head [06:21] maginot: just iwconfig? [06:21] rww, he could run apt-get -f install without having internet, but maybe still needs some other packages [06:22] Whisky_, you will have to enter the right options, you could try "man iwconfig" to see if you get how to use it [06:22] maginot: not if he got done downloading them and was in the middle of installing them, he doesn't. [06:22] let me get my other notebook that's running windows so I can stay here while I'm doing it all [06:22] ZykoticK9, I took a diff between my current config and if I turn off GRUB_GFXMODE entirely -- no difference. [06:22] rww, it's a good point [06:22] Whisky_, maybe rww is right, you could try without internet [06:22] Whisky_, can you run an ethernet cable to the laptop to finish what maginot is suggesting? [06:22] cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 1118: Resource temporarily unavailable [06:22] ZykoticK9, I'm tempted to just stick with vga=0x??? and ignore the whining. [06:22] indrora-laptop, sorry man, i don't use any frame buffer setting so i'm really no help at all... [06:23] Whisky_, just give a try, if doesn't work tell us [06:23] indrora-laptop, vga= doesn't work with newer kernels - not sure about karmic [06:23] i'm switching on my other notebook, just a moment [06:23] Hmm [06:23] Well, I'll take a look at the config stuff [06:24] by the way I can get to shell only in recovery mode [06:24] Whisky_, np [06:24] Wtf [06:24] Found the problem: Someone didnt pay enough attention to the 00_header [06:25] okay rebooting from here [06:25] wish me luck [06:26] when I shutdown, I get that this 'Unknown Application' is not responding; how can I get to know which is this 'Unknown Application'? [06:27] wolter, What dist? [06:27] Kubuntu? Xubuntu? [06:27] ubuntu, lucid [06:27] but it has happened to people in jaunty and intrepid [06:27] 0 upgrades 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 185 not upgraded :( [06:28] Whiskyy, that just means you need to run aptitude upgrade [06:29] Right, time to reboot and hope :) [06:29] cant I connect wlan in shell? iwconfig shows my wifi card [06:29] wlan0 [06:29] Whiskyy: man ifconfig [06:30] I just installed karmic, the desktop version, bootup and opening firefox ~20 min, so I reinstalled only base, with fluxbox, but I have no sound now.. does anyone know how to set it up just like it was a full install? [06:30] I've got a madding problem trying to boot my dual boot system into ubuntu. It's having a problem during the fsck - can't mount /dev/sda5, which where my ubuntu partion is...(here's a copy of what I see: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2bXaqQmP ) [06:30] Any ideas? [06:30] it'll take a little more than ifconfig if your network uses security [06:31] It has booted fine in the past, and I can open it with Live CD (on usb stick actually) [06:31] when I shutdown, I get that this 'Unknown Application' is not responding; how can I get to know which is this 'Unknown Application'? [06:31] how do I exit a man? I skimmed through it. but I already have a pre-configured open wireless network that I want to connect to :/ [06:32] Whiskyy, q [06:32] Whiskyy, did you ran apt-get -f install ? [06:32] yes maginot [06:32] 0 upgrades 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 185 not upgraded :( [06:34] Whiskyy, what does startx do when you run it ? [06:34] Well no matter how hard I try i cant get GRUB to be in 1400x1050 :V [06:35] it let me login :/ [06:35] how do you install something while ignoring the dependencies? [06:35] i'm inside my systen [06:35] system* [06:35] indrora-laptop, you can use one of these vga codes [06:35] indrora-laptop, http://lpofws.blogspot.com/2010/03/codigos-de-resolucao-vga-para-grub-e.html [06:35] Whiskyy, no problem with startx ? [06:35] noop [06:36] Whiskyy, try dpkg-reconfigure gdm [06:36] I installed gnash through source and figure it'd be easiest to just install the plugin in the repos instead of trying ot figure out how to make it === markatto is now known as ottakram [06:37] says gdm isn't installed [06:38] Whiskyy, are you using KDE or Gnome? [06:38] Anyone have a chance to check out my pastie of the failed boot messages I'm getting? [06:38] KDE [06:38] hi abhinav [06:38] Whiskyy, try dpkg-reconfigure kdm [06:39] Warning: Fake start-stop daemon called, doing nothing [06:39] maginot, I've considered it [06:42] Whiskyy, I think that's because you're inside Single mode... [06:43] hey guys [06:44] i'd like to configure an interface to be DHCP enabled, but is with an overrided DNS server [06:46] anyone? [06:46] kokozedman, thats easy [06:47] Is there anybody here that may be able to help with me? [06:47] PixelMind, just ask [06:48] kokozedman, you can look at /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [06:48] maginot: I'm tryong to update but even in KDE with Wifi connected I can't browse. I have no connectivity. And this laptop is connected to the same network with windows and i'm online here but not there [06:48] Alright, well first off I am new to Linux, just thought I would get a change of pace from Windows. But anyway to the point. I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, however it is not detecting my internal Wifi card. [06:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9058614#post9058614 [06:49] maginot i've already looked at the /etc/network/interfaces, but i'm not sure what to write in there [06:49] Whiskyy, start your system normally, when you get the problematic screen switch to a tty "CTRL+ALT+F2" and try dpkg-reconfigure kdm [06:49] Those are my specs. Using a separate computer at the moment. [06:49] ok [06:50] hold on [06:51] PixelMind, I think you will have to try ndiswrapper using the 64bit driver from windows to get the proper support for a broadcom wifi card [06:51] Hmmm, alright. My next questions [06:51] *question [06:51] kokozedman, you said you have a fixed DNS, so look at those two place if you have anything fixed and remove it [06:51] FYI: managed to fix my issue using my USB version of LiveCD, then Palimpsest Disk Utility (System-> Administration->Disk Utility), selected the partition, and then selected the 'check the filesystem' icon, which is probably just a shell for fsck.. anyway, now it all boots just fine. [06:51] :-) [06:52] kokozedman, actually I miss understood your problem [06:52] maginot what kind of line should i add in the : iface eth0 inet dhcp? [06:52] kokozedman, go to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and set the DNS to DHCP client [06:53] The Ubuntu Software Center, when I go to select an item to install, there is no 'install' button. When using the pull down menu, the install option is grayed out. How do...enable the install function of the Software center. [06:53] maginot i don't see any DNS there ... i see domain-name-servers [06:53] maginot: It went to the problematic screen and when i did CTRL+Alt+F2 it sent me to another "Green"screen so I rebooted and it rebooted fine now it's asking for my password :/ [06:53] kokozedman, you have to have something like prepend domainname-server ; on you dhclient.conf [06:54] اه [06:54] ok, i see [06:54] kokozedman, this will overwrite the DNS provided by you dhcp server [06:54] PixelMind, try opening up a terminal and typing 'aptitude search [software looking for]' anf install the one you want with 'sudo aptitude install [program from lis (exactly as it shows)] [06:54] hi [06:54] maginot: But WiFi is still the same, it's connected but no access [06:54] maginot is that a line before the request subnet-mask ... or after it? or it doesn't matter? [06:55] Whiskyy, okay, so now you problem is with the wifi not with the screen, right? [06:55] kokozedman, you can use before, yes. [06:55] maginot: yes [06:55] Will try that. Letting my new install go through the Software update. I am using a wireless bridge for that process. [06:56] unfortunately now I have to go. Whiskyy glad that your screen problem have gone. [06:57] PixelMind, if you are already installing/updating you cannot install from somewhere else. [06:57] maginot: I'm not really sure if it's gone because it just booted this time but I hope it's gone. Thanks :) [06:57] PixelMind, you will have to wait until the update is finished then you may install. [06:57] maginot i think i'll use the supersede, because it will override whatever the server will give me ... the prepend will add the one i set THEN add the one from server (which is not what i want) [06:58] This is true. But before I started the update process, those options were never there in the first place. [06:58] Would any of the updates fix this? [06:58] PixelMind, possibly. [06:59] Or maybe somehow enable the internal Broadcom card? [06:59] I will try the driver solution you suggested as soon as the update is done though [07:00] PixelMind, the updates may install the card you need. So before you install something else, check to see if wireless is working. [07:00] Will do. [07:00] As soon as its done [07:01] PixelMind, have you checked out System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ? There you can install drivers (if found) that your computer needs. [07:02] Yeah I checked before I started the update process. Do you also think it maybe because I installed the 64-bit version and not the 32-bit version? [07:02] I was running Windows XP Pro 32-bit before. But I also swapped hard drives in case I need to go back. [07:03] PixelMind, depends, if your system is 32bit then you need to switch, if its 64bit it should b fine [07:03] PixelMind, oh...you might want to think about reinstalling a 32bit version. [07:04] PixelMind: Which broadcom chipset? [07:04] Eh... [07:04] That is something I should have looked at before I install Ubuntu. [07:05] Is there a way to find out which chipset it is currently? Or do I have to have the drivers in place before Ubuntu can detect it? [07:07] PixelMind: type "lspci" in a terminal, look for the line that has "Broadcom" in it [07:07] e.g., mine says "03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)", and I have a Broadcom 4312. [07:08] Alright, so... [07:09] After the update and rebooting. I went to the hardware drivers [07:09] It has found the following [07:09] Broadcom B43 Wireless driver [07:09] And [07:10] Broadcom STA Wireless driver [07:10] Which one should I enable? Or should I enable both? === ottakram is now known as markatto [07:11] PixelMind: does it say that one of them is in use already, or are they both disabled? [07:12] Both disabled and LSPCI says Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [07:13] PixelMind: Can you get internet access through ethernet temporarily? [07:14] Yeah. I am using a wireless bridge [07:15] PixelMind: awesome. Go into the terminal, issue "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source", say "Yes" when it asks about fetching firmware, and stay connected to the internet while it's installing. Restart when it's done and see if your wifi works. === ningyi_ is now known as ningyi [07:15] Would the hardware driver GUI do the same thing? [07:16] PixelMind: the GUI has been rather unreliable for me in the past [07:16] Hmmm. [07:16] but theoretically, yeah, one of the lines in Hardware Drivers is b43-fwcutter, and the other is bcmwl-kernel-source. [07:17] (b43-fwcutter is the firmware loader, bcmwl-kernel-source is the actual driver. you need both.) [07:19] do you know where the panel settings are? === ningyi_ is now known as ningyi [07:22] Panel Settings? [07:23] somewhere in ~/.config I would think === Nielson__ is now known as Nielson [07:24] PixelMind: the toolbar [07:24] Toolbar as in across the top? [07:24] Evet: right-click it, click Properties... [07:25] PixelMind: yep that's the panel - and the one at the bottom [07:27] hmm [07:27] properties doesnt helpme to recover the bar i have removed [07:27] Evet: best to ask about what you're trying to do... [07:27] k [07:27] moetunes: youre right [07:28] there was a bot link for doing that iirc [07:28] Alright, went through the gui and enabled the B43 driver [07:28] ubottu: panelreset [07:28] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:28] And restarted, but the card does not seem to be on? [07:29] And yes the switch is in the on position [07:29] i'm currently trying to setup apache and python under ubuntu, I have setup the config file w/ AddHandler cgi-script .py, and setup the directory to run the cgi scripts allowing them to run cgi, but when i goto load the file through the browser i get an internal server error. What am i forgetting? [07:29] PixelMind: then I'd recommend doing the command-line way I said :\ [07:29] aha! [07:29] i havent thought such easy [07:29] thanks [07:30] was trying to delete whole gnome settings :) === winter is now known as Guest30997 [07:30] I am going to try the STA driver as well, just to see. [07:30] and then if that doesn't work, try the command line [07:31] Well...the STA driver just...um....gave me a black screen with the mouse cursor... [07:33] sikun: maybe the good folk in #ubuntu-server could help [07:36] hey, im using 8.04, i think i've read somewhere that i can upgrade LTS to LTS, will i be able to directly upgrade to 10.04? can someone confirm? thank you === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [07:37] sikun: did you tell apache to re-read the configuration - graceful restart via 'apachectl -k graceful' [07:37] hozeHoze1: yes, you will [07:37] hi all i have sony vaio x series netbook and i having install unr [07:37] rww: ty [07:38] please anyone help me? [07:39] Serkan: having trouble installing unrar, sorry can u clarify [07:39] unr = Ubuntu Netbook Remix [07:39] yes ubuntu netbook remiz [07:39] remix [07:40] ahh, my bad [07:40] intel gm500 deisplay card [07:40] Serkan, what seems to be the prob? [07:41] display very slow [07:41] psuebo driver i cant install [07:41] and disk driver problem [07:41] sikun: the command name may be apache2ctl rather than apachectl [07:43] timfrost, sikun: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart (or reload) or sudo service apache2 restart [07:43] rww Just did the command line [07:43] rww: restarting now [07:43] 55+ [07:44] how can i remove the couchdb addressbook provider from evolution? [07:44] it doesn't work reliable. it gets into the way. it's annoying. [07:45] i'm trying to get postfix working on my server [07:45] but mails not sending [07:45] it just sits there [07:46] and the process doesn't end [07:46] !enter [07:46] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:46] codygman: you might be better off in #ubuntu-server [07:46] ahh.. alright. thanks! sorry about the enter thing lol [07:47] tbf, did you also remove the couchdb thingo from firefox (assuming you also use firefox) [07:47] Flannel: which of those does the graceful restart? [07:47] The WiFi card is still not showing as active [07:48] codygman, its ok, compose your thoughts and craft your question in one message. you wont always have the luxury of not being interupted by someone elses question. [07:49] how can I get ffmpeg libraries? [07:50] timfrost: Looks like they all do. [07:51] hi all,can any one tell me how to reinstall the grub in ubuntu 9.10 [07:52] !info libavcodec [07:52] Package libavcodec does not exist in karmic [07:52] apctr190, did you upgrade to 9.10 or fresh install?

From your comments, it seems that something doesn't know how to send to the internet [07:56] Flannel: hmm.. yeah that would work as well actually [07:57] sikun: Alright, what have you done so far as far as installing python in apache and stuff?

[08:05] sikun: Alright, now verify that there's python stuff in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ (probably mod_python.load and mod_python.conf), `ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled | grep python` is one way to do it [08:06] Lazy^: Sorry, no, without shell you can't login to SSH [08:06] Got confused [08:06] hello, I've broken my evolution install after installing unstable version form ppa then removing it and reinstalling the offical one [08:06] what should I do now?

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [08:08] Flannel: ok mods-available/python.load [08:08] Damascene: it purge removes all configs for the file being purged as well as uninstalling so its like it was never there [08:08] or should be anyways [08:08] I will give someone a high five if they can tell me how to turn the join/part messages in irssi [08:08] turn them off* [08:09] TehSnarf: srry dont know how in irssi but there is a plugin for it in pidgin irc [08:09] sikun: Alright, then `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload` and you're set [08:09] anyone?

[08:09] is there a way to view all of a sources dependencies and include it in the .deb [08:09] anyone? [08:09] Emanon: Eh, it was worth a try. THanks anyhow. I'll just have to sift through them, I suppose [08:09] Damascene, are you sure this isn't due to the updates taking place with Lucid right now? Does reinstalling give error messages? What is actually happening with Evolution? Are you getting an error of some sort? [08:09] Kartagis: I imagine those sourceforge ones are causing the trouble [08:10] !superdeb | AbortD [08:10] guess not [08:10] heh [08:10] !superdeb [08:10] that worked [08:10] the file transfer became hang, and don't proceed from there [08:10] said it didnt know anything about it though emanon [08:10] ahh [08:10] Flannel: ok, when i attempt to load my first test.py file.. it attempts to download it.. so i need to add AddHandler? i can't remember the exact wording of it.. but correct? [08:11] oh no, how do i change the water in my fish panel applet? [08:11] some had similar trouble and could fix it? [08:12] sikun: Yeah, the package should take care of that, is there no python.conf file? check in /etc/apache2/mods-available/ [08:12] Does anyone know if this thing with google is real? [08:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/407452/ ZykoticK9 [08:12] i just checked for that actually, there is no python.conf [08:12] wild card subdomain on ubuntu 8.04 and apache [08:13] wildcard subdomain on localhost apache2 [08:13] Flannel, I've commented out the sourceforge line, still the same message [08:13] Kartagis: You need to update after the comments [08:13] Damascene, sorry - that error is beyond me, so all I can do is wish you the best of luck, sorry man.

[08:45] Berzerker, +2 [08:46] im gonna return this thing and get nvidea then [08:46] outer_space1, if you're thinking about using Lucid in a month that's probably a VERY good idea [08:47] why in a month? im using lucid now [08:47] outer_space1, ahhh - that's why it's not working then [08:47] so radeon is supported in a month? [08:48] Hi there. I don't know where to look : do you know which IRC channel is relevant for web dev talks ? [08:48] outer_space1, maybe - if ATI produces a driver for the new X that lucid uses [08:48] outer_space1: probably more like, ati lags behind significantly in kernel and X support for their drivers [08:48] im gonna get another motherboard and a nvidia card for dual monitors [08:48] DannyButterman: are you a troll?

[09:00] i had probs with ps/2 keys so i made the switch [09:00] chemjeff2: tried a diff keyboard layout? - you might have a diff key then caps lock as the caps lock [09:00] How do I try a different keyboard layout?

[09:07] JacobSingh, i think Xorg would need to restart (thus the logout) in order to use a new 2nd monitor [09:08] JacobSingh: yep you have to restart the graphical server [09:08] nuaimat: On install did you alter or adjust any of the default install choices?

[09:09] Vigo: and then googled for what to do, now i think i did all the mentioned steps to make it better [09:09] okay this is weird - when i kill & restart my gnome session, the caps lock problem goes away [09:09] ZykoticK9: ati [09:09] JacobSingh: I don't use two monitors so I'm limited with that sorry [09:10] JacobSingh, with nvidia it will certainly apply 2nd monitors on the fly - with ATI, i have no idea [09:10] to top it off i believe the version was actually kde but the x was gnome [09:10] ZykoticK9: Thinkpad t60P... On 8.04 I think I had something setup that would do it for me... some ATI util, but I forget [09:10] ZykoticK9: yeah, ATI kinda sucks it in Linux land... thanks, I'll poke aorund, try Envy, etc pray I don't hose me xconf :D [09:10] (I'm sure I will) [09:10] with a ton of leftover k aps from when he switched over [09:10] JacobSingh, Thinkpad's are workhorses! great laptops really.

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [11:43] eLeNa: please see above [11:43] eLeNa: faint [11:43] eLeNa: type "/join #ubuntu-es" [11:43] Type "/join #ubunti-es" === eLeNa is now known as EBC99 [11:44] Thank you very much! [11:44] rocket16: #ubuntu-es, not #ubunti-es [11:44] theadmin: Oh sorry, typing error, [11:45] hi [11:45] !hi | r00t93 [11:45] r00t93: 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! [11:46] OOo 3.2 is sweet, loads in seconds :) [11:46] Ubuntu, agai, so quiet, I kinda like that... Okay, here my question: Is there a configuration interface to nautilus so I can add an item to the menu which runs a proram and hands it the current directory? [11:47] In my case I want an "open terminal" which opens a terminal in the specific dir. [11:48] Why so silent? [11:48] Any one here? [11:48] ManDay: I am. Just it seems that nobody knows. [11:49] I know about you theadmin :P [11:49] ManDay: what does a right click in nautilus produce ? [11:49] ManDay: I recall there being a plugin for open terminal here in nautilus, lemme find that [11:49] moetunes, a right click produces a contex menu? [11:49] ManDay: Do this: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal [11:49] ManDay: no "open terminal here"? [11:50] theadmin, actually, I dont only want it to open a terminal but run an app (screen) in that term - can that do that? [11:50] primitive [11:50] moetunes, erm, no... :P [11:50] ManDay: Hm. Not sure... maybe. I don't use it. [11:50] erUSUL: randisk seems to be a cpio archive...i thought they were always gunzipped [11:51] rags: clearly not the case ;) gzip is cheap [11:51] hi i added a keyboard shortcut for gnome-terminal, but when it comes up its not in my home its in / [11:51] diddly, what is the command you set the keyboard shortcut to? [11:52] ManDay: gnome-terminal [11:52] (did you set it in compiz= [11:52] ? [11:52] ManDay: no i set it in preferences->keyboard shortcuts [11:52] diddly, do you use compiz? [11:53] If yes try setting it there in the gnome compaibility section [11:53] !compiz | diddly [11:53] diddly: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [11:53] ManDay: k i'll look in there. i havent used gnome regularly in 8 years :P thanks! [11:54] diddly: try changing the command to gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/you [11:54] diddly, if nothing works you can always call gnome-terminal... [11:54] arg theadmin beat me to it [11:55] ManDay: hehehe yeah, actually there is a setting (different key binding) in compiz->gnome compat. it works fine, and looks like it has the same config as mine. oh well i have a solution [11:55] ManDay: theadmin thanks guys [11:57] hello [11:57] Hi, madura [11:58] theadmin hi [11:58] madura: Have any Ubuntu questions? If so, ask them [11:59] theadmin not much for now just came in to offer any help if i can .. [11:59] madura: Oh. Well, sorry. [12:02] How big do you think a / partition needs to be with an off mounted home directory? [12:02] theadmin :) BTW you know where i can find good tutorials for glade? (for C) [12:02] The_Explorer: 8 gigs or so, methinks, will be enough [12:03] madura: No idea about what glade even is. I actually misread that as "glados" :/ [12:03] The_Explorer: Ubuntu's recommendation is 8GB, I generally go with 10GB. [12:04] Well i guess ill just give it 15 since i have the room and... just in case. [12:04] theadmin :) [12:05] The_Explorer i just checked it takes around 6 GB [12:05] * theadmin has 12 gigs used [12:05] But i guess it's all those movies i have :D [12:05] theadmin you store them in root dir ? :P [12:06] madura: I just don't have a separate /home partition [12:06] vsem privet [12:07] theadmin ah i thought 12GB was after removing /home [12:07] p0r0h: Для поддержки на русском языке пожалуйста обратитесь в #ubuntu-ru [12:07] huh, he left [12:07] hello, i've been here a few minutes ago with my Xserver-problem, and i got my Xorg.log here http://nopaste.info/9a35655fc3.html in line 277 is the only error. moetunes, still here? :> [12:08] gosh: looking [12:08] theadmin, do you actually speak russian or did you just copy it from ubottu? :) [12:08] ManDay: I do, I live in russia.

[12:14] obiwan_ you might have an video card that does audio too [12:14] moetunes: i'm not really a pro at linux... how can I enable that driver? [12:14] ManDay, -exec? I don't understand sorry. [12:15] gosh: on a server atm - there's a menu entry under system apparently - someone will speak up [12:16] multiverse72 use find | grep [wildcards for accented chars] [12:16] moetunes: sorry, I dont understand.. what do you mean? [12:16] !nvidia [12:16] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:16] gosh: ^^ [12:16] #ubuntu.fr [12:16] multiverse72, find (man find) can find files by name and type. if you pass it the -exec argument you can have it execute a command on each file it finds. make this command an according mv, renaming the files from whatever they are to something they should be with GREP and apply this to your files [12:16] okay :) [12:17] madura: i don't hehe actually i don't have video card just a cheapo intell chipset hehe [12:17] gosh: noone spoke up - and I don't have a giu atm...

I have a notebook so there is no floppy [12:20] did anyone try Ubuntu on a macbook? [12:20] just hope that lucid lynx solves this out [12:20] guys just a quick Q. is changing root password in 10.04 Beta1 not yet available? [12:20] conb123: ask in ##linux [12:20] Ddorda: i'm writing from a macbook [12:20] !root | corden [12:20] sine i cannot change root pword [12:20] 3,1 late 2007 [12:20] corden: 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 [12:20] obiwan_: how long does it takes to boot? [12:20] mmmm dunno [12:20] like 20 secs? [12:20] maybe 25 not sure [12:21] corden: more help for lucid in #ubuntu+1 [12:21] not too long [12:21] obiwan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:21] ok erUSUL [12:21] multiverse72 yea you can pipe the output of grep to mv i think not sure tho haven't done such thing [12:21] obiwan_: using grub2, right? nto bootcamp [12:21] not* [12:21] yeah Ddorda [12:21] gosh: OMG i miss read!! [12:21] obiwan_: thanks [12:21] grub2-efi && native boot [12:22] no prob, madura ;) [12:22] obiwan_, 15 secs to boot here :) [12:22] gosh is your video driver broken ? [12:22] np Ddorda , btw they say lucid will boot up even faster [12:22] obiwan_: have you found any probkems using Ubuntu on a macbooc? [12:22] Question about logs and rotation. Last night I discovered my hard drive was full. Had a syslog of over 50G, syslog.1 over 25G, and a daemon log of over 80G. How do I configure my logrotate.conf to rotate these files...I don't see anything defined for these critical logs. [12:22] madura: I dont know, seems so. Its a fresh installation, just yesterday! [12:22] macbook* [12:23] madura: Xserver does not start, i only get a textconsole. [12:23] lazarus: nice heheh , guess you treat your machine better than i do xD [12:23] gosh thats 9.10 right? did the live CD go ok? [12:23] madura: I'm with no gui atm - what's the menu to install proprietry nvidia drivers for gosh ? [12:23] guys, how i can install ubuntu without any soft? [12:23] madura: yes, 9.10. LiveCD was running perfecty [12:23] skuld_kid: something is spamming your logs. [12:24] moetunes: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ? [12:24] Ddorda: lots of them, isight, touchpad, and more i just can't remember i got used to them hehe [12:24] obiwan_, well you are running ubuntu on a mac so ...lol [12:24] skuld_kid: you should find the root cause. logrotate cannot do much with GiB sized logs [12:24] HELP, how i can install ubuntu without any soft? [12:24] !minimal | vimusero [12:24] vimusero: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:24] can't it limit the size of a log file? [12:24] gosh: moetunes: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [12:24] gosh so no GUI what so ever? like it boots up to a corrupted screen [12:24] lazarus: :P hehe [12:24] erUSUL, ty! luv u [12:24] thnx ardchoille :) [12:24] skuld_kid: it just compress the old log and archive it for some time then removes it [12:24] yw [12:24] a few days ago I had a power outage multiple times, caused the mysql databases to corrupt. I think I fixed most of that [12:24] vimusero: First, we have to understand what you're saying. Currently that's a bit beyond our powers. Could you maybe explain what you're trying to say a little better? [12:24] obiwan_: iSight? isn't it a program? and what's the problem with the touchpad? [12:24] I dont have any GUI, only text console tty1-x, madura [12:25] Ddorda: isight is the inbuilt camera [12:25] obiwan_: it doesn't work? [12:25] skuld_kid: maybe mysqld is spamming the logs with errors. open them and take a look should be pretty obvious what is going on [12:25] Ghost|BTFH: bad english) i want clear system and install all what i want.. custom DE,WM. soft.. [12:25] obiwan_, atleast your running ubuntu on it i guess thats no bad [12:25] Ddorda: not by default, you needa get apple's firmware cuz it's a privative thingo iirc [12:26] try installing the nvidia drivers thru terminal and see i think it'll work [12:26] vimusero: What's your main language? [12:26] madura: yeah, i'll try that ... [12:26] obiwan_: but in the end it works, right? [12:26] Whoever wanted renaming help, here you go, a command: read y && let x=0 && find -exec let x=x+1 \&\& mv {} '$y-$x' \; [12:26] I notice that msyql errors out when it tries to start. InnoDB corruption, but I don't think I've got any InnoDB's [12:28] how would i edit config files using a bash script [12:28] Ddorda: also had problems with broadcom driver , but it's fully supported by now so you won't have to deal with theese issues hehe [12:28] Ddorda: yeah Ddorda . [12:28] Ghost|BTFH: russian [12:28] How can I assign an IP address to one of my Ethernet cards? System -> Administration -> . . . ?? [12:29] Ddorda: i guess everything works if you put enough effort on it. i just came to a point where i don't care if something works or not. i'm not using optical sound output every day you know heheh [12:29] gosh: xserver-xorg-video-nv install that [12:29] SaintSinner, set it from your router thats what i did [12:29] madura: with apt-get and all that? [12:29] SaintSinner: I think you need to use a terminal, maybe ifconfig... read manuals on it [12:29] lazarus: ubuntu works out of the box, that's good enough hehhe [12:29] ok [12:29] gosh : yea [12:30] kay [12:30] vimusero: Check your messages. [12:30] obiwan_, better than xp? [12:30] SaintSinner: System>Preferences>Network Connections [12:30] well, cs time, cya later bye guys :) happy ubunting! :) [12:30] madura: shouldn't I go for those nvidia-glx drivers?

[12:31] erUSUL: Ubuntu is host, Windows XP is vitrualised [12:32] gosh well you should :P(i use an ATI so i gave u the 1st one i found i thought it was the binary one) [12:32] anyone have any luck getting a 3G NetBook modem working with new Ubuntu ?

I heard somewhere that there is some script (envy?) what does all the work for me :) [12:32] is there any channel for skype?

[12:56] Ghost|BTFH, yes, but i would like to open CD with winamp... [12:56] also, the mount point is often the name of the disc.

[13:00] madura1: He's only as intelligent as his programmers...and they don't need a bigger ego. ;) [13:00] Joric: if you want it.. install it. === flossk is now known as gent_flossk [13:00] Dr_Willis, is it still remain on livecd [13:01] Ghost|BTFH: well they have done good! [13:01] Joric: i doubt it. [13:01] i think if you upgrading and you have gimp, youll still have gimp. [13:01] If it was on the live cd.. you may as well install it also. :) [13:01] C-S-B-N900: that applies to most apps you install [13:02] i know [13:02] hello, how do i remove a package without removing dependencies? somebody has made everything dependent on plymouth, and plymouth is stopping my system from booting [13:02] ive watched the instller befor. it seems to install everything thats on the live-cd - then removes some stuff. ( theinstaller and a few other tools) [13:02] just pointing out the fact that most arent going to realise the change, just new/fresh installers. [13:02] see #552046 [13:02] reuben: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [13:03] madura1: Yeah, they did. But don't tell them that. ;) [13:03] lucid beta 1 [13:03] reuben: you could just disable the plymouth service from starting up. by renaming/moveing the /etc/init/plymouth* scripts [13:03] reuben: and see #ubuntu+1 channel for lucid [13:03] Ghost|BTFH :P [13:03] Dr_Willis ok cool [13:03] reuben: Discussion and support for that is in #ubuntu+1. And last I checked, which admittedly was a month or so ago, it wasn't a depend, just a recommend. [13:03] has anyone moved from a standard install to lvm? [13:03] chmod -R permissions directory changes everything recursively. [13:04] rww: yeah, they just switched the dependencies last night i guess. i was unable to remove it when testing yesterday [13:04] reuben: well that's silly of them :( [13:05] Man, I'd give anything if they came up with a google translate for Ubuntu. [13:06] are the update servers down at the moment? [13:06] That is probably the most impressive program I've seen yet for translation services. [13:06] Ghost|BTFH, I believe there is one [13:06] UK ones ;) [13:06] coz_: I'll be your best buddy if you tell me what it is. :) [13:06] notlistening: Karmic 9.10? [13:06] Ghost|BTFH, I am assuming you meant language translator? [13:06] coz_: Yes. [13:06] Is it possible to override the global umask for some specific directories? [13:06] yup [13:07] coz_: I'd love one that has as many languages as google translate. [13:07] Ghost|BTFH, here's a screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshot1.png [13:07] notlistening: Go into your repository list in synaptic and tell it to "pick the best server" near you. [13:07] hey ubuntuers, who is up for a ubuntu case? [13:07] notlistening: The one you're connected to by default might be down. [13:08] hi [13:08] hey [13:08] is there any games in ubuntu ? [13:08] anyone using amazon ec2? [13:08] On a upgrade when i logged in again over ssh? How can I recover the upgrade process which is still running [13:08] crack05, yeah...solitaire chess a bunch like that [13:09] abchirk_: you need to using screen [13:09] coz_ no football game ?? [13:09] abchirk, the upgrade process will have quit [13:09] crack05, :) no nothing like that be default anyway :) [13:09] abchirk_, run sudo apt-get upgrade and it will tell you what to do [13:09] mmm ok [13:10] Ghost|BTFH, I think this is the link http://code.google.com/p/google-translate-desktop/ [13:10] i have ubuntu server, and it doesnt have a GUI. here's the case: in order to install anything i.e a GUI, i need internet. I have of course googled how to connect and all that, but i use a USB-wireless adapter, and i need to install it, in order to get online [13:10] any clues? [13:10] Backup before upgrading. [13:11] coz_: Like most things, if I just open my eyes and actually search the repositories like I gripe at everyone else to do, I find what I need...there's like 3 programs in the repos that will link to Google Translate. [13:11] flad: what usb wireless adaptor? === root is now known as Guest43696 [13:11] and why is your server running on wifi? [13:11] C-S-B-N900: its a D-link USB [13:11] Ghost|BTFH, ah ok ...yep take the sunglasses off and you may see a few things in the repos :) [13:11] flad: chipset? [13:12] uhm, let me check [13:12] lsusb [13:12] Update server list umm failed but i am connected to the internet [13:12] flad: also check dmesg [13:13] D-link DWA-140. there is information about FCC ID, IC H/W ver, F/W ver (hardware, firmware?) S/N and MAC [13:13] notlistening, it is still downloading I see it on df -m. So i wait and then I do aptitude upgrade? [13:13] hello, how can I send e-mail with mailx? Actually the e-mail is not sent when I don't specify a "from address". Thanks [13:13] flad: have you brought the device up? [13:13] df -m [13:14] my kubuntu's kde suddenly froze, just black screen, can't return to desktop, can't do sticky keys too, except alt-tab which just show amarok and nothing else . . . could somebody help ? [13:14] kubuntu-ku: try #kubuntu [13:14] C-S-B-N900: hmm, what do you mean by that? i have it here, its connected via usb, but the light isnt flashing on the device [13:15] kubuntu-ku: hit CTRL+ALT+F1, login as root and type /etc/init.d/kde restart [13:15] flad: as in ifconfig wlan0 up [13:15] C-S-B-N900: it practically a usb-stick [13:15] ill check [13:16] flad: it might not be wlan0 [13:16] ok it stopped [13:16] C-S-B-N900: wlan0 ERROR whilegetting interface flags: No sucj devise [13:16] device [13:16] hello guys, how to install nautilus-actions in 9.10? [13:17] flad: does the interface appear in ifconfig? [13:17] only eth0 [13:17] and lo [13:18] flad: well then you need to know what module supports the chipset, modprobe it. [13:18] you might need fw though. [13:18] depending on the chipset. [13:19] coz_: Wow, the Google Translate Desktop is sweet. It's 100% java, just click 'n run. [13:19] C-S-B-N900: in sorry, im so new to this textbased kind. modprobe and fw is kinda diffuse to me [13:19] Ghost|BTFH, there you go :) [13:19] coz_: Thanks very much for the help. [13:19] Ghost|BTFH, no problem [13:20] See? I come in here to help others, didn't even know I needed help myself. [13:20] flad: ok, first work out exactly what chipset you have. [13:20] C-S-B-N900: okay, where would i find that information [13:20] well lsusb -vv [13:20] will give you info [13:20] i want to edit my username or i want to add another account [13:21] how can i do that from command like [13:21] sudo useradd [13:21] ? [13:21] sine0: that will create a new user. [13:21] sudo adduser billgates [13:22] C-S-B-N900: a whole lot of information. [13:22] Is anyone has idea how to make shell and give to people all.Just like in shellium. [13:22] alot of bXXXXX values. any of interest? [13:22] all you need is the info for the wifi card [13:22] pastebin it. [13:22] sine0, I think adduser is easier then useradd. Check the manpages [13:22] Wow I just installed 9.10 like yesterday. I'm impressed with how much Ubuntu have improved since version 6.X [13:23] aiya: clarify what you mean. Dont assume we know wht shellium is [13:23] flad: you could always install x, then uninstall later? [13:23] C-S-B-N900: aah, but thats not installed yet! its plugged in the usb, but never been installed for linux [13:23] I can't change my screen resolution to what i want, and when i click display it says; It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? [13:23] i have a nvidia fx 5200. help? [13:23] flad: you dont install drivers. [13:23] Is anyone has idea how to make shell and give to people all.Just like in shellium(they provide shell for user by free.). [13:23] wade: use the 'nvidia-settings' tool. 'gksudo nvidia-settings' [13:24] gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/panel/default_setup/toplevels/top_panel/size"19" it should work right? [13:24] tastyfish: Yeah, it's a mild improvement, I'd say. Lucid should be rather sexy when it comes out in about a month. [13:24] wade, open nvidia-settings [13:24] can't do it through there either [13:24] aiya: install ssh server. they can then ssh in. [13:24] flad: what is the usb stick model again? [13:24] C-S-B-N900_ d-link [13:24] DWA-140 [13:24] wade, if you open nvidia settings in the terminal with sudo nvidia-settings you should be able to write that to the xconfig [13:25] Dr_Willis is that possible to make it in ubuntu and how do i have the space for the user and add user and configure it?/ === No10Day is now known as blueghost [13:25] Ghost|BTFH: I wouldn't call it mild, I remember having to install almost every driver manually, doing alot of stuff in the terminal etc. This time I just installed it on a laptop it shouldn't really have been compatible with last time I checked and almost everything worked. === blueghost is now known as No10Day [13:25] write what to the config? it only gives me 2 screen resolution options [13:26] aiya: be more clear in what you mean.. If you install ssh server.. people can ssh in and get a shell. You add a user account for each one you want [13:26] flad: try sudo modprobe rt2870sta [13:26] Ohw.Okey. [13:26] i think thats the chipset? [13:26] What is the command to install ssh server? [13:26] tastyfish: Oh, that's just me being a smart arse. From version 6, Karmic is like a whole new OS. [13:27] !ssh | aiya [13:27] aiya: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [13:27] tastyfish: It makes Windows look pointless, and I like that. :) [13:27] Ghost|BTFH It sure is, the only thing not working is my wifi button not changing color when I toggle it! [13:27] !scp [13:27] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [13:27] tastyfish: You mean the physical light on the laptop? [13:28] Ghost|BTFH: It sure does, I look at my Windoze XP machine from time to time and I just think "what the fuck?" to myself.

Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) [13:28] Ghost|BTFH Yeah, A friend recommended trying to do some sort of hardware hack for it but I'm to lazy, the wifi works just not the light. [13:28] C-S-B-N900: okey, i wrote that, and after typing my sudo password, a new line just came up. is that usual? [13:28] Dr_Willis: I didn't know it was a common problem? [13:28] tastyfish: Yeah, my wife's lappy does the same thing - I don't even consider it an issue when you can just right click and say "Turn off Wireless" [13:28] tastyfish: some laptop makers like todo things... oddly :) [13:29] flad: do you have a new device in ifconfig? === gui_ is now known as kryl [13:29] tastyfish: on one i have. i can turn it off with the switch. but the switch dosent turn itback on.. nor does rebootig :)i have to boot to windows.. use the switch.. then reboot back to linux [13:29] ugh [13:29] tastyfish: so i never touch that switch now [13:30] still eth0 and lo [13:30] Ghost|BTFH Haha that's weird... The toggle works though, just not the light :D. [13:30] Dr_Willis: ifup ath0 won't do it either? [13:30] Dr_Willis Man that's weird :). [13:30] Ghost|BTFH: its wlan0 here... ive not tried it. [13:30] flad: in dmesg did you get and info? try unplugging the usb then plug back in and check what appears in dmesg [13:31] Dr_Willis: That's how I fix issues when my wife's old wireless card used to throw a fit and not want to connect to the secured router anymore. [13:31] test [13:34] hello, can nautilus-action be used on karmic? [13:34] flad: ? [13:34] yes [13:34] well, i unplugged [13:34] I'm looking for a good, command-line nntp (also called usenet or news) reader capable of downloading and reassembling binaries (files), could you recommend one? [13:34] Experiencing an issue with Evolution, restoring backup file from Desktop to Laptop Using Karmic Koala on both, any suggestions? [13:35] and plugged in, and some messages appaired in dmesg [13:35] I love 9.10, the apps I used in windoze works perfectly, like chrome, dropbox and tweetdeck :). [13:35] I'm looking for a good, command-line nntp (also called usenet or news) reader capable of downloading and reassembling binaries (files) and working over ipv6, could you recommend one? [13:35] When I write "python somefile.py | less" into the terminal I cannot scroll the output as expected. How can I achieve to get an output from a python process that is scrollable?

[13:36] or libc? [13:36] "renamed network interface" [13:36] 'man malloc' provides no results [13:36] neither does man sigaction [13:36] flad: can you do sudo ifconfig wlan8 up? [13:36] arinel: manpages-dev [13:36] skx: Have you searched Synaptic for an ntp? [13:36] rww thanks [13:36] errr...nntp? [13:36] C-S-B-N900: i just did, and got "SIOCSIFFLAGS_ Permission denied [13:37] flad: sudo? [13:37] Ghost|BTFH, no, tbh I don't want to install 15 apps to get the one I need so I took a shortcut [13:37] C-S-B-N900: hahaha [13:37] flad: does it appear in ifconfig? [13:37] hello, how to add an "edit with vim" button to the right click menu? [13:37] skx: I'd try that since they have very detailed descriptions, and there's over 20 of them. [13:37] lubse: nautilus has a scripting feature you could use to add such a thing. [13:37] C-S-B-N900: now it does! [13:38] flad: woot! [13:38] I asked a friend that also uses ubuntu and he said spotify doesn't work that well yet, especially not with the pulseaudio drivers. That's the only app I'm missing right now and I just wanted to check if it was true? [13:38] I have KDE [13:38] skx: You could read, find one that does exactly what you want, give it a shot. What you're looking for is rather specific - it's not something that will be easy to find someone else who uses the same type of thing. === Guest28898 is now known as DrSound [13:38] does nautilus work on KDE? [13:39] lubse>: yes but there is better there [13:39] lubse: it can.. but it can goof things up [13:39] C-S-B-N900: not its on ifconfig! (sorry for anwering late, i type most of the messages in the terminal the first time. two keyboards fucks my head up) [13:39] flad: watch your language, please [13:39] tastyfish, I think it is supposed to work with wine [13:39] rww: im truly sorry [13:39] Ghost|BTFH, specific but not rare, thanks [13:40] flad: i dont understand the first bit? [13:40] flad: can you iwlist scan? [13:40] Hey room, just installed 9.10 32 bit, booted with onboard video, working perfect, installed nvidia drivers and booted to pci-e card. so it is all slow and locking up now, i just had 9.10 64bit installed and it was working fine [13:40] C-S-B-N900: 2 sec, ill check [13:41] Jovaro: Oh allright! I read some about it beforehand and people said some songs get distorted on stuff even with the new wine. Seems not worth it honestly... [13:41] I need to install antivirus on an ubuntu smb fileserver... I was thinking clamav, but it seems that does not perform well on tests - any recommended strategy? [13:41] C-S-B-N900: wlan8 no scan results [13:41] Good morning. [13:41] ndlovu: theres clamav and avg i think has a linux version.. not sure of any others out there thats not costing $$$ [13:41] I drive 9.10 32 bits and drive perfect speed === mOOey is now known as m00se [13:41] flad: well it thinks it has a interface at least. [13:42] magical: Good mornin' [13:42] flad: keep scanning? [13:42] up enter, up enter up enter? [13:42] thanks Dr_Willis... I suppose if those are the only options, it simplifies the decision somewhat ;) [13:42] maybe install kismet or airodump to see if you can see any packets? [13:42] tastyfish, OK, I have never tried it, but spotify themselves think it should work fine. http://www.spotify.com/int/help/faq/wine/ [13:43] flad: it should pick up your wireless if its there in range. [13:43] Jovaro: Hmmm... I guess I'll try it out sometime, right now I'm running it on my old Windoze like 50 cm to the left of my laptop anyway. [13:44] C-S-B-N900: its in range, im on a windows laptop right next to in on wireless atm [13:44] flad: back up from the router, being too close can mess up the signal [13:44] C-S-B-N900: oh wait. never mind WhiteDawn it was my fault. haha . i keep forgetting sudo [13:45] * crack05 is away (Gone) === crack05 is now known as CRACK05 [13:45] flad: can you pick it up now? [13:45] C-S-B-N900: now i got alot of information about the network [13:45] ubottu: away > CRACK05 [13:45] CRACK05, please see my private message [13:45] Hey room, just installed 9.10 32 bit, booted with onboard video, working perfect, installed nvidia drivers and booted to pci-e card. so it is all slow and locking up now, i just had 9.10 64bit installed and it was working fine..... any help? [13:46] flad: now you need to configure you interface to connect with your key. [13:46] I want to have sound on a server running in the kitchen :). I installed alsa, xmms2 - nothing - in the log alsa complains about not finding card 0 - I'm at a loss on how do I get this fixed, where to I start? [13:46] C-S-B-N900: ok. i know the key, i just need the command to connect [13:46] if tis that easy [13:47] resizing my usb thumb drive's partition made it stop being bootable. it says "boot error" now. Anyone knows, what went wrong or how to fix? [13:47] hmw: resizing it probraly messed up the partition, you should backup before resizing. My suggestion is to boot up a live cd and run fsck on it [13:48] hi [13:48] DexterLB: hello [13:48] chmod -x `which chmod` [13:48] what now? [13:48] flad: you need to config /etc/network/interfaces [13:48] :D [13:48] WhiteDawn: it is my live-"CD" - i made a boot stick and customized it a little (partimage, aso). i would like to not have to make it again [13:48] flad: google will help you there. [13:49] hmw: you'll need to boot a linux os to do anything to your usb stick unless its formated to fat32 or something, then u can run chkdsk in windows [13:49] C-S-B-N900: Yes, im on it! thank you so much, you rock === 17SAADCHU is now known as jcg1 === jcg1 is now known as jcg2 [13:49] WhiteDawn: the drive is accessible [13:50] flad: all working? [13:50] How do I capture audio from my sound card with ffmpeg? [13:50] hmw: allright, hten try to repair the partion using chkdsk/fsck [13:50] anyone knows, why resizing a Ubuntu-boot-stick breaks its capability to boot? [13:50] C-S-B-N900: not yet, as you said, ill google the command to get connected, and configure that interface if i need to i think [13:51] is my computer 32 bit or 64 bit ? how can i tell? [13:51] flad: let me know when it works. [13:51] flad: or if you need me. [13:52] Hello, I'm having two issues regarding video playback on Ubuntu. I've tried so far MPlayer, VLC, and Totem. First, I was trying to see a video via a SMB share. It was fine for a moment, then it starts having some buffering issues, and I can state it by looking on a bandwidth monitor. All three of them just stops pulling more content. So, I tried to copy them to my PC. And now most of the time they're slow as if my hardware couldn't handle this 720p video. [13:52] deyden, do you know what is your processor ? [13:52] maginot: intel centrino === timeless_ is now known as TimelessP [13:53] deyden, well, centrino isn't a processor type, is just a group of intel hardware [13:53] deyden: what os are you in right now [13:53] deyden, if in doubt, you can safely go with 32-bit version of Ubuntu. [13:53] WhiteDawn: ubuntu 9.10 [13:53] lunks: Type of video? Are you sure you actually copied the whole thing? Are you sure the video files aren't corrupted? [13:54] deyden, what "dmesg | grep -i nr_cpu" outputs? [13:54] GHOSTERONI, mkv, H264 encoded. I copied the whole thing and no, files are not corrupted. Closing and opening it again works, for a while [13:55] maginot: [ 0.000000] NR_CPUS:8 nr_cpumask_bits:8 nr_cpu_ids:2 nr_node_ids:1 [13:55] lunks: And you're on 32 or 64 bit? [13:55] GHOSTERONI, 64 bit [13:55] 9.10, right? [13:55] deyden: enter this in console: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" and give up the output [13:55] Ghost|BTFH, 64 bit [13:55] Damn, so many ghosts [13:55] =P [13:55] I know, there's often a lot of dead people in here. [13:56] test [13:56] Here, this should help... [13:56] WhiteDawn: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz === Ghost|BTFH is now known as BinaryFu [13:56] zombie's do exist [13:56] There...now you won't keep incorrectly auto tabbing me. :P [13:56] BinaryFu, there's a man and fu, but ok [13:56] Will Ubuntu on an SSD thumb drive be faster, if I used ext4 instead of whatever Windows formats it to? How much of an improvement is there to be expected? [13:56] lunks: So you' [13:56] deyden: allright you have 64 bit, u can grab the AMD64 version [13:56] lunks: So you're using 64 bit Karmic... [13:56] hmw yes [13:56] <[Xiru]> I'm using lucid. Gwibber and desktopcouch services are using 100%. Is there an workarround? [13:56] hmw much quicker actually [13:56] BinaryFu, exactly [13:57] Xiru: Try #ubuntu+1 for Lucid talk [13:57] WhiteDawn: no. actually i had install some s/w and it asked wether 32 bit or 64 bit! [13:57] <[Xiru]> BinaryFu: thanks [13:57] deyden: ah, so u wanna see what one is installed then? [13:57] WhiteDawn: yup :) [13:57] lunks: And you're running H264 encoded (which I have no clue wtf that is...) no corruption...it runs fine for awhile...but then starts bogging down... [13:57] deyden, u should actually check if u're on a 64 or 32 bit version of ubuntu [13:58] deyden, uname -a [13:58] lunks: And I'm assuming you have all the extra flavor codecs installed, right? [13:58] it should tell right away [13:58] lunks: that is what i want to check! and i dont remember installing what version of ubuntu is on my system [13:58] BinaryFu, assuming it's running, yep [13:58] deyden, 64-bit should show x86_64, not sure what 32 bit will show, probably just x86 [13:59] 有中国的朋友么 [13:59] lunks: You have nvidia? [13:59] lunks: 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [13:59] BinaryFu, exactly [13:59] deyden, it's 32 bit [13:59] deyden, actually that didn't help to much ... this will give the final answer, if you see LM them you're on a 64bits cpu: grep flags /proc/cpuinfo [13:59] lunks: thanks [13:59] lunks, that is just the kernel version.. don't mean if the CPU is 32 or 64bits [14:00] 在这里，我们讲英语彬彬 [14:00] maginot, he wants to know which ubuntu he installed, actually [14:00] ubottu, cn | BinaryFu [14:00] BinaryFu: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:00] 哦 [14:00] lunks: You have libvdpau? [14:00] !cn | binbin [14:00] binbin: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:00] lunks, oh, so uname will help indeed [14:01] maginot: http://pastebin.com/HJzL6aEB [14:01] What is the address of my soundcard? [14:01] BinaryFu, won't help, gpu is too old [14:01] lunks: That could be the issue then... [14:01] BinaryFu, the hiccups don't seem from hardware [14:01] deyden, do you see a LM on that line? [14:01] bill_, dunno how can I find out? [14:01] lunks: Are you dual booting that box? [14:02] BinaryFu, no [14:02] lunks: Then you can't be certain it's not hardware related. [14:02] maginot: yeah! there is nx and then lm [14:02] what does tar -xzf do [14:02] I want to use ffmpeg to capture sound from my computer, how do I do it? [14:02] lunks: However, one possibility would be just trying the latest vid drivers, since the decoding seems to be passed directly to the hardware if able, and most likely nvidia has a software workaround otherwise... [14:03] lazarus: unzip [14:03] lazarus: extract a .tar file [14:03] lazarus: see: man tar [14:03] lunks: Which should be in one of their latest drivers, and the version being used in your system could be old or "open source" and not quite doing its job properly, if that makes sense. [14:03] deyden, so you have an 64bit Processor, but uname shows that you are using an 32bit kernel [14:03] BinaryFu, if my hardware wasn't capable of delivering it shouldn't my cpu be on 100% or something? [14:03] ok just cross referencing [14:04] lazarus, tar xf would do the job [14:04] no need to -xzf most of the time [14:04] maginot: so which bit version of the s/w should i install on my ubuntu 9.10 ? [14:04] deyden, 32bit [14:04] lunks: Depends...could be trying to shove it down the GPU's throat. [14:04] Hello all. I downloaded the latest Nvidia proprietary driver from their site to test it out, and it has a ".run" extension. Any suggestions on how to install it? [14:05] Syrinx_, sh file [14:05] Syrinx_: sh ./ [14:05] Syrinx_, but why should you try to run it? [14:05] Syrinx_, isn't nvidia driver from the repositories doing the job? [14:05] how do i rename a user account if i spelt the name wrong not that i did but the hypothetical question fits my situation [14:05] lunks: You could also check for libmpeg4ip-0 === mOOey is now known as m00se [14:05] lunks: That's supposed to have full support for the h series codecs. [14:06] Oh, I just wanted to see if it gave better performance than the 185 driver [14:06] On some podcast someone commented that the proprietary driver ran smoother on 9.10 [14:06] We'll see [14:07] Syrinx_, tell me if it does, having performance issues here. be aware that updating your kernel could be a little bit longer === aiwata55_ is now known as aiwata55 [14:07] тест [14:07] Syrinx_, every time you update your kernel, you will have to install it again [14:07] Ah, good to know. Thank you. [14:07] Ugh, maybe I won't bother than [14:07] Hi, I dual boot ubuntu with a broken vista but now i'm out of disk space 38/40GB is there anything i can do to resize the linux partition? [14:07] Dont want to hose anything [14:07] Syrinx_, be sure to get the header files for your kernel, too [14:08] jedt: you can run gparted from live cd [14:08] Syrinx_, I did it a few times and it's a pain in the ass :P [14:08] Syrinx_: However, with all that...the latest drivers do deliver better performance...and it's simply a matter of stopping gdm from the command line, and then using sudo sh NVIDIA-driver.sh [14:08] Meh, totally not worth it then. I'm not that great at working under the hood. [14:08] Syrinx_: Or sudo run Nvidia.sh, whatever it is...forget. [14:09] Huh, okay... we'll see how brave I feel :) [14:09] Thanks all! [14:09] Syrinx_: I've done it quite a lot, and honestly, once you get used to it, it's not an issue at all, and suddenly all these games that don't quite work magically work just fine. [14:09] So...to me, it's worth it. [14:09] Because dammit, I have to play Blood Bowl. [14:10] And Vegastrike. [14:10] BinaryFu, from the changelog on nvidia's website, I'd say you're right [14:10] lunks: I am? [14:10] I'll probably just update to Lucid, and see if it updates the driver [14:10] Holy carp, I'll try not to do that again. [14:11] Hello anyone who can help me? [14:11] !ask | jedt [14:11] jedt: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:11] jedt: you can run gparted from live cd [14:11] hello all :) how about work 4096 kb sectors in new hard disk (wd 1TB green EARS) in ubuntu 9.10 ?! [14:11] is there a way i can edit the grub on a ubuntu usb key install to not ask for language and boot into live mode automatically [14:11] BinaryFu, from 185 to 193 is a big step, and just from the last version tehre is indeeed a lot of 'improves performance' [14:11] =P [14:12] WhiteDawn, I wont have data erased right? [14:12] jedt: usualy not, helps if you defrag the windows drive first. Still good idea to back up when you do anything to your hardrives. [14:12] hello all :) how about work 4kb sectors in new hard disk (wd 1TB green EARS) in ubuntu 9.10 ?! [14:13] Seriously lunks, my being right was strictly accidental. >.> [14:13] BinaryFu, as is everything in life. [14:14] where is the language selection and then boot menu located ? [14:14] im guessing it is grub ? [14:14] Ok, how do I enable update-manager to let me install Lucid? [14:15] lunks: This is true...if I tried to get up every morning, I'd still be asleep...it just happens by accident. [14:16] lunks: you might wanna do a clean install instead of a upgrade for the best enviroment, im sure hte iso can be found on ubuntus website [14:16] BinaryFu, going for a distro upgrade, wish me luck. :) [14:16] WhiteDawn, I know, but I didn't have my home on a partition, so it'd be a pain === OerHeks is now known as Oer [14:16] lunks: May the gods Libnux grant you crash free distro-upgrading...I'll sacrifice a goat with a shovel for ya. [14:17] WhiteDawn, if you have any tutorials on how to migrate home and have all my current programs from repo installed, be my guest [14:17] BinaryFu, amen [14:17] * BinaryFu grabs the shovel and heads for the temple...err...shed...

[14:21] greenpeas: swap in a SSD is a bad idea yes [14:21] greenpeas, I have been using Ubuntu on a 6GB partition for a while, while it has been a little full-disk hell, it worked fine [14:21] BinaryFu, it was a test [14:22] BinaryFu, thx === jan247_ is now known as jan247 [14:22] teachmepls, test worked, feel free to talk... beep [14:22] teachmepls: np, ummm...my reply was a test too...yeah...

[14:23] lunks: [14:23] dr34mc0d3r, look at scripting languages eg tcl/tk and others ... [14:23] apparently the eeepc 1000H has no ssd drive [14:24] dr34mc0d3r, I used one a long time ago that accepted vista sidebar apps, maybe you should be looking for it. [14:24] greenpeas: If you have a regular HD, go for the swappy. [14:24] yayyy guys [14:24] dr34mc0d3r: java I thought [14:24] i solved all my sound issues uninstalling pulseaudio hehe [14:24] okey [14:24] obiwan_: That usually solves all my problems. [14:24] thanks a lot :) [14:24] desktop widgets like konfabulator [14:24] obiwan_: That's the first thing I do on any linux install...rip Pulse out, stuff Alsa in. [14:24] aahahh BinaryFu i was so pissed off [14:25] yeah BinaryFu sound works perfect in my gentoo with just alsa, so i said let's try removing pulse [14:25] hello. i have a intel i5 430m. which kernel is the right choice? [14:25] what's the procedure to update any application from Synaptic to the most recent stable version? [14:25] obiwan_: I hate Pulse with a psychopathic passion. [14:25] actually on ubuntu lucid kernel 2.6.32-19 cpu temperature, turboboost, suspend and hibernate do not work. some tips? [14:25] and wow! now counter strike plays awesome on wine hehe [14:25] Does anyone here know anything about NTFS junction points on linux? [14:25] BinaryFu: from now on, i'm a hater too ehehe [14:25] hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? [14:25] !lucid | mebitek [14:26] mebitek: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [14:26] madjoe: Ummm...are you saying you're wanting everything at standard distro updated level, ie, no more bleeding edge? [14:26] hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting [14:26] obiwan_: Welcome to the IHPA group. We'll be sending you your ID badge in the email. [14:26] lunks: i know. but i'm asking why new intel cpu are not fully working [14:26] BinaryFu: something like that, yes :) [14:27] BinaryFu, is it easy to install alsa over pulse audio? [14:27] madjoe: Remove the bleeding edge repositories, reload...then perhaps select said broken programs and tell it to reinstall, which should reinstall the older versions. [14:27] lunks: In 9.10, it's retardedly easy. [14:28] BinaryFu, how to do it? [14:28] Im using ubuntu 9.10.My laptop has NVDIA grapic card.when ever i enable special effect the screen freeze.How do i fix it? [14:28] aiya, do you have restricted drivers on? [14:28] BinaryFu: actually i read about it somewhere. the developer made a lot of changes, and he argued that the rest of the developers haven't adapt their programs to it, so it's not his fault but other dev's who don't adapt their things to the new changes [14:28] Is there a way to allow Firestarter to grant access to every connections coming through a specific program? In this case a Tor-bridge, that gets connections on all sorts of ports, from all sorts of IPaddresses [14:29] lunks : I have enable it.I install the driver also from resticted driver [14:29] BinaryFu: I'm quite new in Ubuntu, can you give me some more instructions? for example, I'd like to update my Pidgin to 2.6.6, but my Synaptic has Pidgin 2.6.2 [14:29] aiya, which version? [14:29] lunks : Im not sure.Is that playing part ? [14:29] obiwan_: It's not the developers of Pulse's fault that their default sound volume doesn't work properly, causes crackling noises, that their server cannot handle multiple sounds without ramping up a memory bleed and maxing out CPU? [14:30] madjoe, if you want the latest one, maybe you should try installing it off the repo, but that's not recommended. You should try Pidgin website, they have a PPA which enables you to have latest version to be downloaded from the repository. [14:30] madjoe: Just a sec, mate. :) [14:30] lunks: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306679 [14:30] aiya, check on restricted drivers, you probably has 3 options, and one recommended. [14:30] lunks, BinaryFu: thanks [14:30] BinaryFu: he said he enhanced a lot his product, but with the counterpart of not getting along too much with legacy programs [14:30] i need help [14:31] lunks : I had install the recommanded by ubuntu.When i checked its show me it only [14:31] when i am sending file to pendrive [14:31] obiwan_: I dunno, sounds like whining to me. Everyone I know is drinking the PulseAudio Kool-Aid. I just do a LOT with audio work, so...if it don't work, I don't use it. Period. [14:31] that's it [14:31] aiya, open restricted drivers on system/administration (not sure about the path) [14:31] and check what's there [14:32] BinaryFu: was pulseaudio in jauny? [14:32] it show mesage unlock keyring when i am giving the password then it does'nt dissappear and ask it again [14:32] BinaryFu: cause sound worked perfect for me in jaunty [14:32] Anyone know how to list packages on your system that have come from a particular repo? [14:32] but since i switched to karmic, omg, all this months' been a hobby heck [14:32] BinaryFu, will try it, thanks! =D [14:32] when i m denying then also it appears and ultimately no file transfer occur [14:32] obiwan_: Yes. It's been in Ubuntu since...ummm...Hoary I think? I can't remember. [14:32] BinaryFu, after the distro upgrade. [14:32] lunks, so the recommended way to go is to sit and wait for Synaptic to be updated to include my application with the required version? [14:32] well so it worked great for me in jaunty BinaryFu [14:33] lunks: I can't promise you it'll work the same to do so in Lucid, I'm not beta testing that. [14:33] plz answer [14:33] obiwan_: It's never worked great for me. I could get multi-sounds for about 5-10 minutes, then suddenly it'd start deciding to toss out some sounds and not others...or stop playing my music. [14:33] madjoe, head to pidgin website, there will be some directions on how to get the latest one on ubuntu. [14:34] madjoe: You still need help flipping back to the older versions of stuff? [14:34] lunks: I know, but you told me it's not recommended [14:34] hi [14:34] BinaryFu: thanks, dude, I think I can handle it now [14:34] I can see how to do this with Synaptic (origin), but not the command line. [14:34] plz help [14:35] madjoe, yeah, you should wait for synaptic to have the new version on the next one. If it's working, it's working. If you need a feature it's not in there, go at your own risk. [14:35] madjoe, specifically for pidgin, it's not a big issue though [14:35] shishirdwivedi20: Sounds like it is requiring a password for the drive itself. Are you sure it's not a secure drive? [14:35] Eh, I guess he couldn't be bothered with waiting for an answer. [14:36] lunks: what if I go to update it manually with their PPA, will I be able to update that app through my Synaptic anymore, without additional tweaks? [14:36] madjoe, yep! [14:36] hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting [14:36] BinaryFu: but since i switched to karmic omg, hobby nail, i've been craving to make sound work. i had so many problems with sound in browsers. i thought it was a flash isue, till today i tried to play counterstrike and sound problems again. then i just thought it could be a thing with pa and its sound multiplexing. [14:37] lunks, ok then... so where is the risk then? I'm trying to figure out the downside of it [14:37] obiwan_: Yeah, for me the final straw was when I was just trying to run a game in WINE, have my music running, and using voice chat at the same time and it just crapped itself completely. [14:37] exactly hehhe [14:37] :P [14:37] obiwan_: I then figured out how to rip its heart out and slapped ALSA in its place, suddenly everything worked - flawlessly. [14:37] madjoe, on the worst scenario, you would have to reinstall the older version, or lose your account history, something like it. [14:38] well , good to know, finally. hehe [14:38] madjoe, go for it =P [14:38] lunks, ok :) [14:38] lunks: He won't lose account history unless he goes into his home directory and deletes .pidgin [14:38] lunks: should I remove the older version first? [14:38] lunchtime for me BinaryFu , mtfbwy dude [14:39] That's one of the biggest bonuses to running Linux over Windows in my opinion. Separate /home directory = <3 [14:39] madjoe, not needed [14:39] hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting [14:39] lunks: sweet, thanks [14:39] obiwan_: Enjoy! It's just mid-morning here. [14:39] BinaryFu: how did you swap alsa and ... pulse or whatever [14:39] CarlFK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306679 [14:39] BinaryFu, if there's a database change on pidgin and something goes wrong, you could mess with your history [14:40] lunks: Meh, I think their db is pretty solid...and if they did, they'd probably have an import feature. ;) [14:40] BinaryFu, happened to me a couple of times when trying gajim. It was bleeding-edge gajim (straight from svn), but still. [14:41] hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting [14:41] Question: Can I chown without being sudo?

[14:53] I get this while running that deb package [14:53] Ghost|BTFH how do i change back from nvidia to normal? [14:53] boymeetsworld, it's because there is the same package on the repository, try finding it on synaptic [14:53] prodigel: if there is a kernel installed but not listed a live cd would let you enter it as an option [14:53] thrope: disable the driver in Hardware Drivers [14:53] boymeetsworld, why did you downloaded it on the first place?

[15:10] flad: hello [15:10] launchpad.net tells me: "Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad Login Service." [15:10] raw_: So you have the user set up on the Windows box? [15:10] 3 times on 2 different computers [15:10] Ghost|BTFH, You're acting out and I don't particularly want to encourage you to continue making a fool of yourself. Please read the guidelines, they're in the /topic [15:11] raw_: Have you gone into the Windows user management and set it for "password never changes" and tried that? [15:11] raw_, did you tried #samba? [15:11] maginot, #samba is death :/ [15:11] Hey all. My ext3 external hard drive has all of a sudden become read only. It's possible that the cause was disconnecting without unmounting properly. Can't be sure. No apparent data loss just no longer writeable. Anyone know how to fix this other than reformatting? [15:12] Ghost|BTFH, i need to create a local user on order to login into the domain? [15:12] elky: Oh, it's no trouble, I make a fool of myself as often as I help others...I just like to joke as well. Perhaps if you used apt-get install humor you might understand me better. [15:12] raw_, there are 118 users there, and there is the right place, or wasn't called #samba [15:13] raw_: Mmmm...not sure. I was thinking you were maybe using samba on a local Windows box. You're logging into a domain? [15:13] maginot, well, thats what i thought first, but after asking my question some user states that the channel is death :) [15:13] Does anyone have any pranks for April Fools' day? [15:13] hotdog003: offtopic [15:13] Ok, sorry. [15:13] Ghost|BTFH, yeah, login into a samba PDC domain which uses openldap as backend [15:14] raw_: Okay, I'm not too familiar with that setup, but...I'm presuming you can create an account remotely then, is that how it works? [15:14] raw_, This is an specific ubuntu support channel, so try #linux, is even more active then here. [15:15] Ghost|BTFH, yeah, i create a account in openldap and login with that accountin in the domain using the windows client... it is checking the password and comes to the conclusion that i have to change it. again and again [15:15] raw_: Because if that's the case, there's got to be a way to set the option to use a specific password, which should bypass the "user must change pw at beginning of next session" rubbish. [15:16] Ghost|BTFH, specific password is set... well, as maginot suggests, i will try #linux [15:17] Ghost|BTFH, and the password is also set to the new one when i change it on the windows machine, but after that, it wants me to change it again [15:17] raw_: Okay bud, but I'd also check out something else... [15:18] raw_: http://search.cpan.org/~ghenry/Samba-LDAP-0.05/scripts/smbldap-useradd [15:18] Ghost|BTFH, what does the T mean in your nickname? [15:18] There's a LOT of options for useradd. [15:18] stevecam: Tech [15:18] stevecam: And thank you for knowing the rest of it. [15:18] stevecam: That just makes my day. :) [15:18] techie or just tech? [15:19] raw_: Like useradd -B 0 [15:19] stevecam: I'm a repair tech, ISS, and a few other things. [15:19] hm Ghost|BTFH that might be the reason .. the mustChangePassword attribute does not exist for my user [15:20] stevecam: So, tech as in, computer repair tech. :) [15:20] how can I make the [ OK ] messages green? [15:20] raw_: See? Sometimes it only takes an extra head to come up with a solution. [15:20] oh, do you repair circuits or do you just do all the easy stuff? [15:21] stevecam: I *prefer* to do the easy stuff...but I know my way around a soldering iron. [15:21] hehe [15:21] stevecam: It's just generally cheaper to fix something by replacing it now-a-days. [15:22] alguien me puede ayudar conel tema sonido [15:22] hmw: thats your irc clients option [15:22] stevecam: With the exception of laptops...but then, people bring me dead ones and say, "Can you fix it?" and my answer is always the same, "Yes, but do you want to spend the money to have that done?"

[15:47] so, what are the things I could do if gdm doesn't start? [15:47] fagan: apport? [15:47] bill_: Hmmm...then you're probably running pulse or you haven't installed asoundconf (which is a sin if you run alsa) [15:47] marcuy: it probably says 64 bit executable? [15:47] never heard of this. [15:47] jldupont: try run nautilus in terminal and give me the output after the crash [15:47] http://pastebin.com/4X9BLVE5 [15:47] acicula: http://pastebin.com/4X9BLVE5 [15:47] fagan: good idea. [15:47] acicula: you are right [15:47] bill_: Check System -> Preferences -> Sound. If that works, you're using Pulse.

[15:48] acicula: do you have any idea how can I fix grub2 instead?

[15:49] fagan: ok, will try to get rid of it... never had a problem until a couple of days ago with latest Samba etc updates. [15:49] marcuy: easiest way is chrooting into your system as you have to run some programs if you have to reinstall the bootloader [15:49] acicula: I get it.. the problem is that I don't have any 64 livecd close to me..

[15:53] jldupont: all I know is that nautilus shouldnt crash like that without something else breaking it [15:53] acicula: i'm on the way for it ;) [15:53] any way to repair that? [15:53] Ghost|BTFH I installed asoundconf and the gtk app, it still says command not found from the shell, the program appears in the kicker menu, but does not run. I installed it from Kpackage manager [15:54] DexterLB: Have you tried CTRL+ALT+F7 to get to the default GDM display? [15:54] fagan: ah ah! dropbox bug report: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=17578&replies=8 [15:54] Ghost|BTFH: of course, yeah [15:54] jldupont: that looks like the problem [15:54] Ghost|BTFH: nothing happens, as if tty7 doesn't exist [15:55] Hello. I need help with setting up a You Tube search engine for Midori but am running into a problem. The You Tube engine doesnt search You tube videos but searches channels. Can someone help me set it up? Thank you! [15:55] <---- I want to sort a list of files in nautilus according to FILEENDING - is that possible? FOr example I've several fileendings in my directory but they are all "plain text"! [15:55] * jldupont this time, segfaults report did help track down the issue.... [15:55] bill_: Try sudo asoundconf [15:55] hi [15:55] ok... I'll be doing a clean install of lucid anyway... if I install the beta now will it be easy to do a network upgrade to the release when it's released or will it break a lot of stuff? [15:56] is there a way to sleep ubuntu remotely and wake it on demand [15:56] DexterLB: That's really odd...but it doesn't error or anything, just starts the gdm with no complaints? [15:56] Ghost|BTFH: well it used to error [15:56] Askum [15:56] DexterLB: there'll be an option to upgrade [15:56] Ghost|BTFH: but I did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg gdm' and it doesn't error any more [15:57] Ghost|BTFH got this message..........sh: /usr/bin/asoundconf: not found [15:57] You need to make sure asoundconf is active! [15:57] By default, asoundconf's configuration file is ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf [15:57] and must be included in ~/.asoundrc. Open this file to make sure it is! [15:57] .................wait a second, I'll just check it out [15:57] bill_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:57] moetunes: I know ther will be, but will it change lots of settings etc? [15:57] DexterLB: >_< So it half solved the problem...heh. [15:57] without using wake-on-lan [15:57] as it is an old machine [15:57] with no WoL :( [15:57] DexterLB: depends on what they need to fix - #ubuntu+1 will know [15:58] Ghost|BTFH: having half of your blood is better than having none but you're still dead [15:58] DexterLB: Indeed. [15:58] Ghost|BTFH that's weird I couldn't find that file /.asoundrc [15:59] bill_: No surprise...sec. [15:59] Ghost|BTFH I'm doing a 'find file' search in dolphin......... [16:00] find flogs the hd [16:01] bill_: Actually I believe the issue is that they, in their infinite wisdom, removed asoundconf functionality in karmic. If I recall correctly, I resolved this problem by installing asoundconf from Jaunty. [16:02] I can share my desktop with my friend using Empathy, however, I can't do it the other way round, I get this error: [16:02] Connection to host 127.0.0.1::39925 was closed. [16:02] Any one know what's wrong? [16:02] Ghost|BTFH I see, is there any other way I can find out the name of my sound card? The file search in dolphin said.....0 files found === sclayton1 is now known as stephenpc === Cain` is now known as Cain [16:04] bill_: Sadly, the only way I can think of accurately is asoundconf...other than that, you *might* be able to accurately guess its name from lspci or lshw, but asoundconf just gives you the straight scoop on the actual name used. [16:05] bill_: Like my lspci shows it's an Intel HDA blah blah blah, but then says SBx00 and its real name is SB [16:05] Ghost|BTFH .........bugger!! Wait...I'll try it... === Ghost|BTFH is now known as Ghost|BAFK [16:05] Be back in a bit.

[16:26] winterelf, BUT perhaps making a symlink from /usr/local/bin to /bin/bash might get around the configure error [16:26] more is always better [16:27] switch10_:yes [16:27] 4gb of opera??? [16:27] winterelf: is there a readme included in the tar? [16:27] znik: depending on the file [16:28] discozohan: you cant use 4gb ram with 32bit (without pae) you only will get ~3.3GB [16:28] iceroot: it was *.bin file and installed itself in the applications . [16:28] switch10_:yes, there's readme file and more readable files [16:29] iceroot: there is no uninstall opyion [16:29] , yup, i know, but i asked this question to be sure, that there is no anything around it, that i don't know -.- [16:29] winterelf: that readme should explain exactly how to install it. [16:30] how can i hack into my lan [16:30] switch10_, winterelf's issue is the ./configure step is looking for /usr/local/bin/bash, thus my suggestions to create a symlink [16:30] what is the /tmp directory for? [16:30] dopeman: what exactly do you mean? [16:30] invitingdopeman, whoops, wrong chat room!

Even if it's a just a tiny little prank. [16:32] winterelf, cd /usr/local/bin && sudo ln -s /bin/bash [16:33] Ghost|BAFK no......from the forums it came down to ppl asking canonical to release asoundconf for karmic users...I figured I might just install intrepid in a virtual machine and run asoundconf from there...... [16:34] allright, lucid time [16:34] bill_: Meh, I just installed the jaunty version after uninstalling it in karmic. [16:34] wish me luck [16:34] DexterLB, wait! [16:34] bill_: Works flawlessly. [16:34] ZykoticK9: what [16:35] what log file contains errors relating to network routing? [16:35] Ghost|BAFK So you are running Ubuntu Jaunty? [16:35] DexterLB, don't upgrade right now -- see #ubuntu+1 channel topic - Lucid packages are broken, thus "GNOME 2.30 being uploaded. Packages are in-flux, so don't upgrade yet." [16:35] ZykoticK9: I'm not upgrading, I'm doing a clean install [16:35] ZykoticKs: dude , thanks [16:35] bill_: No no, I run Karmic. But I uninstalled asoundconf and grabbed the Jaunty package and installed that manually. [16:36] switch10_: thanks too :) [16:36] DexterLB, ok - all good then! But don't try to do any updates after install, until things are resolved - if you get a Partial upgrade available - don't do it [16:36] can anyone recommend something like a a freenas interface i can run on top of ubuntu server? [16:36] ZykoticK9: doesn't say any packages are broken [16:37] moetunes, it's a partial upgrade situation - if you try upgrading thing will break [16:37] Ghost|BAFK ........I suppose I could do that....install Jaunty> grab the asoundconf deb package, and then reinstall it into Karmic...... [16:37] moetunes, "Packages are in-flux, so don't upgrade yet" translates to "things are kinda broken - don't upgrade" [16:37] ZykoticK9: but you said ZykoticK9> DexterLB, don't upgrade right now -- see #ubuntu+1 channel topic - Lucid packages are broken, - none are mentioned as broken === Ghost|BAFK is now known as Ghost|BTFH [16:38] http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10471356-17.html?tag=mncol;posts Say goodbye to linux [16:38] bill_: No...you just need to download the deb online and install it.

[18:13] is erUSUL or ikonia around? [18:13] yes [18:13] ikonia: do you know of a command that I can use to redirect my trash into nothing or /dev/null? [18:14] Trek: it's a gnome gconf option for the trash directory, do that, or symlink your trash directory to /dev/null [18:14] Bonjour tout le monde [18:14] !fr | Glorf [18:14] Glorf: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[18:20] Trek, ^ [18:20] costre, i think it was something with modeline i xorg.conf dont remember right [18:20] EntityReborn: yeah, just the resolution prevents me from seeing the "apply" and "close" buttons or whatnot === daz_ is now known as DaZ [18:20] ...

[18:22] where's trash stored in the system, ikonia?

[18:23] In attempting to install ubuntu-server, I receive this error: http://pastebin.com/MhsfnAEA - any input greatly appreciated [18:23] prayii: intel and ocz make the best ones right now [18:23] blakkheim: thank you much sir [18:23] prayii: although with ubuntu's old kernel, you don't get TRIM support [18:23] prayii, I'm runnning on a 6month old samsung SSD, works like a dream. Newer drives work even better [18:24] prayii: so you might want to use a distro that's up to date or compile 2.6.33 yourself on ubuntu [18:24] Lucid will come with latest though correct? [18:24] since pastebin.com redesigned its site, it seems pastebinit doesn't work anymore [18:24] prayii: 2.6.32, 2.6.33 has TRIM support afaik. so not good for SSDs yet. [18:24] prayii: i don't know. last i heard it was staying with .32 [18:25] bummer.... [18:25] Guest9145: did you apt-get update first? [18:25] in fact the only service the command works with anymore is yourpaste, which isn't the best service really [18:25] daftykins: sure did [18:25] iknoia: i'm getting an error "can't hardlink directories" [18:25] daftykins: wait, one sec [18:25] Guest9145: why install the deskie on a server install? D: [18:25] daftykins: i updated the list--not update itself. one sec [18:25] ikonia: it says "hard link not allowed for directory" [18:25] is there another application, or an update to pastebinit so i can have a proper pastebinning application? [18:25] linduxed: wgetpaste [18:25] daftykins: i'm trying to use nomachine NX [18:26] daftykins: running update now, one sec [18:27] linduxed: pastebinit will work if you specify http://paste.ubuntu.com as the address [18:27] ikonia: can I provide you wiht a pastebin of what the error(s) say? [18:27] daftykins: did not work [18:29] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:29] then reboot, then try [18:29] people always tell me how amazing aptitude is. why does everyone always use apt-get then? [18:30] prayii: Because it works. [18:30] does aptitude not work? [18:30] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/y4XPDQnS [18:30] i've never checked the difference between the two to be honest [18:30] not trying to be smart - just uneducated in the difference between aptitude and apt-get [18:30] apt-get if you know what you want i guess [18:30] can anyone help me figure out how to make this symlink? i get errors with this: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/Psgv9CbU [18:31] prayii: usually it does, but some options it can't use...so...until they merge the two...one is good for some things, one good for another. [18:31] Guest9145: no idea then [18:31] Ghost|BTFH: is there plans to merge them? [18:31] prayii: aptitude is a smarter version of apt-get that handles dependencies better [18:31] Trek: you cannot hardlink between 2 fs [18:31] prayii: I hope so. [18:31] anyone else on http://pastebin.com/y4XPDQnS ? "Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xorg" "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [18:32] llutz: okay, so is it possible to symlink my trash folder into /dev/null at all? [18:32] Trek: try ln -s /dev/null /bla/foo/trash [18:33] llutz: i think it worked... [18:34] there are 8 bits in a byte? [18:34] prayii, usually :) [18:34] hehe [18:34] llutz: if it worked, do i delete something and if it doesn't show up in trash it worked? [18:35] there are also two nibbles in a byte [18:35] Trek: idk, i never used trash [18:36] I installed openvpn gnome network manager plugin, but i cant save the profile because the button is always disabled... any ideas [18:36] so 4 megabits = .5 megabytes... usually? lol [18:36] well [18:36] there are issues [18:36] because that's less standardized [18:37] there should be an organization that standardizes computer units [18:37] sigh [18:38] Ummm...isn't it...8 bits to a byte, 1,024 bytes to a kbyte? [18:38] nope [18:38] microsoft would never join [18:38] lol [18:38] sure [18:38] unless 1000 bytes to a kilobyte [18:38] like in lucis [18:38] we prefer 1024 [18:38] Lucid uses the 1000:1 thought [18:39] Karmic uses 1024:1 correct? [18:39] don't know [18:39] i never rely on that [18:39] Ghost|BTFH: 1024 bytes = kibibyte [18:39] http://okcmusic.site90.net/GTA.nes [18:39] kibibyte? [18:39] this is 16bit [18:39] I didn't even know kibi had teeth. [18:39] yea [18:40] I think I read it's changing in next version. But right now in ubuntu I believe its 1024 bytes = 1 kb [18:40] hi - quick question (using ubuntu 9.10 & gnome here) - just updating my installation via apt in terminal - while apt is still downloading & installing the updates gnome displayed a dialog which tells me it requires an reboot. how is that realized? [18:40] kilobyte = iso = 10^3 bytes (1000 bytes) [18:40] some special paket which is flaged as critial - or how does gnome realized that one of my updated packages think it required a reboot? [18:41] odb|fidel: Wait for the updates to finish. [18:41] odb|fidel: the former. some packages are marked as boot required. (kernels mostly) [18:41] Ghost|BTFH: for sure i wait - that’s not the point here - butthanks [18:41] erUSUL: ok [18:42] thanks for the quick replies [18:42] odb|fidel: Ah, you're just wondering why it happened...what they said. [18:42] In Karmix 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes [18:42] Karmic* [18:42] odb|fidel: It's rare people want to know why, just how to fix it. :) [18:42] hehe [18:42] there is nothing to fix here - at least right now ;) [18:43] just want to understand the link from apt to gnome-notification [18:43] odb|fidel: Mmmm...sounds like my computers and sadly, my client computers too...I need to start sending out some negative mojo so there's more crashes for me to fix...daddy needs a new car. [18:43] could anyone suggest a way to repair an ubuntu-desktop, i'm getting dependency errors and i the X environment hangs before it gets to login screen. I'm really desperate. this error happens with apt-get install -f " subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 245" (among others) [18:43] ;) [18:45] if i want to pass the result of a command as argument to another? in linux shell.. [18:45] alex88: command1 | command2 [18:45] deleuzer: Which flavor of ubuntu are you currently using, what occurred just before the crash? Details, details. [18:45] prayii: even if 99.9% of users use kilobyte for 1024 bytes, it is wrong. kilo is a SI-prefix and means "10^3" not "2^10" [18:45] hello all [18:45] !cli | alex88 [18:45] alex88: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I know it's wrong. =D [18:46] erUSUL: you could have won with backticks [18:46] worked perfectly..thank you all [18:46] I was still on wge [18:47] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 server, and the default gdm theme is horrid. How do I change that? gdmsetup doesn't have the same options as the previous version [18:47] backticks are ugly [18:47] Ghost|BTFH: I'm using ubuntu 9.10, just before the crash I tried to get mod working which requires a bunch of different librarys particularly glib I'm sure this is what caused the problem, but how to fix? [18:47] setuid: you can't, use something like kdm or xdm [18:47] backticks are ugly, and in most cases, insecure [18:47] setuid: why would you use gdm on a server.. [18:47] setuid: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html you need to hack it now. [18:47] setuid: insecure because? [18:47] jrib: no sure two keypresses needed in my spanish keyboard ;) [18:47] erUSUL: oh, you're one of those :) [18:48] deleuzer: Okay, did you get the libs from the repositories or did you download and manually install them? [18:48] jrib, insecure because it's subject to race conditions, and it escapes to a subshell, so subject to shell expoits and interpolation. [18:48] It's never a good idea to use them. I see people using them in Perl all the time: Dead wrong.

I didn't know this [18:48] Okay, I feel better now. [18:48] Ghost|BTFH: most I got from the repositories, but there were some not in the repos. [18:49] jrib, Looks like gdm-2.20 is what I needed, gdm is no longer sufficient. [18:49] Each new GNOME release, removes more and more features... [18:49] setuid: gdm was rewritten from scratch and that part wasn't written yet [18:49] deleuzer: Getting anything outside of the repos = high risk. [18:49] Hmmm... [18:50] setuid: because features confuse users. [18:50] manually installed libs...hmmm...well, if you knew what they were called specifically when installed, you *could* sudo apt-get purge lib-name-version [18:50] daz, Apparently [18:50] setuid: $(cmd) and `cmd` are equaly handled by bash [18:50] Ghost|BTFH: I have a list of the untarred packages... === skbohra_ is now known as skbohra [18:51] Hello guys [18:51] the daily CD also freezes [18:51] and girls :) [18:51] help please [18:51] llutz, Not quite the same thing... one does not blindly execute commands buried in variables like the oher would. [18:51] deleuzer: I'd give sudo apt-get purge lib-name-version a shot then...which might make it yank a few others out as deps...but such is life. [18:51] got a problem with virtualbox. I ran Ubuntu 10.04 beta as a host machine. It was almost warking well since I've installed the guest additions modules to the kernel. Now it won't recognize my graphic, the screen starts flickerning. You've got any idea if that might be related to vbox in any way or OS in beta version is the reason of the issue? [18:51] hello [18:51] fuorviatos, #virtualbox [18:51] setuid: according bashs man-page they are equal (backticks are just the historical form) [18:52] fuorviatos: For help with Lucid Beta, please visit #ubuntu+1, for virtualbox, #virtualbox [18:52] Ghost|BTFH: I'll give it a try. tx [18:52] what would cause only one of my nvidia cards to be intiated on the first boot of x, but upon restart the second works ?

That might be an interesting hint to check out === daz is now known as DaZ [18:54] none of my instant messengers can connect to msn (I tried all of them: pidgin, koepete, emesene, amsn...) any tips? [18:54] maginot: In Lucid? === jnperlin__ is now known as jnperlin [18:54] Ghost|BTFH, no. But did you saw anything related ? [18:54] fuorviatos, GhostFreeman__ magical - i'm not having any problem with Lucid guests with VBox OSE, but PUEL version seems to be having some issues [18:55] fuorviatos: The second thing I'd consider is video drivers being used by Lucid vs perhaps nvidia drivers. [18:55] z0net, you sure it is not a problem with the server you are connecting to [18:55] maginot: Only that he said he's running 10.04 beta. [18:55] [jibadeeha]: ya.. because I can enter in msn with meebo.com or other sites [18:55] ZykoticK9, What is "PUEL" sorry? [18:56] fuorviatos, the version direct from Sun/Oracle [18:56] fuorviatos: "Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL)" [18:56] Hello [18:56] z0net, ah but they might use a different server or connect via a 3rd party API or something [18:56] z0net, what version of pidgin you using [18:56] What command does the "install ubuntu" icon on the desktop of the install disk run? [18:56] this is my problem: Error activating XKB configuration. help please [18:57] [jibadeeha]: 2.6.6 [18:57] z0net, i am using 2.6.2 and msn is working fine for me [18:57] [jibadeeha]: can u see the right server for me in ur pidgin? [18:58] linuxrevolution: Stop trying to activate XKB, obviously. Just teasing, could you give just a tad more information? [18:58] [jibadeeha]: mine is messenger.hotmail.com, port 1863 [18:58] z0net, ditto but you might get load balanced to a different server [18:58] Ghost|BTFH: ya, I want to change keyboard layout and I see this error and I can't change it. [18:59] I'm looking at the details of a package in aptitude, and it's saying mysql-server is 'UNAVAILABLE' which doesn't seem to make much sense, considering it's installed. what am I missing? [19:00] [jibadeeha]: How can I do that? [19:00] linuxrevolution: What OS are you using, what are you attempting to change the kb layout to? [19:00] sammy, do you happen to be running 64bit Lucid?

[19:01] sammy, it doesn't install/work [19:01] linuxrevolution: Well, for help with lucid, you should be in #ubuntu+1, however the issue you have is something that's happened in the past, so perhaps this solution will be of use to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=834318 [19:02] Ghost|BTFH: ok mate thanks a lot for the help :) [19:02] ZykoticK9: odd. [19:02] linuxrevolution: Don't thank me, thank Topeka...I mean...Google... === ativa is now known as fredim [19:03] how can i serach for the location of some library file?? [19:03] znik: use "find" [19:03] I can't connect to msn.. I tried all the messengers.. any tips? [19:03] znik: locate filename [19:03] znik: or locate [19:03] sammy: locate won't search the file system [19:03] znik: much better is use locate command [19:03] Ghost|BTFH: well you know I searched it but there is another problem! I have no xorg.conf in X11 folder! so I couldn't use this topic [19:04] j41r0: no it's not better to use the locate command unless he knows it's in the locate cached file systems [19:04] linuxrevolution: LoL [19:04] j41r0: not in all cases [19:04] type man locate to know how to [19:04] z0net: messenger.hotmail.com for server, gateway.messenger.hotmail.com for http method, port 1863 [19:04] I think much of the time locate plus grep is the better way to know complete file path [19:04] z0net: If you still can't connect, check your account, because mine's working just fine with pidgin with those settings. [19:04] j41r0: no - it's not [19:04] znik: you could also use dpkg -S file_name; (for installed packages) or apt-file search file_name (for everything) [19:04] ikonia is right, if the library file isn't somewhere being indexed by locate, it wont show up. but I think most library files are, at least library files installed with the package system. [19:05] j41r0: locate only searchs specific file systems [19:05] sammy: he's lost the files - so they could be anywhere [19:05] z0net, Try killing telepathy-butterfly [19:05] [Ghost|BTFH]: that's the problem.. when I installed ubuntu the last time it worked.. now it doesn't =\ [19:05] sammy: if they where not lost they would be in /usr/lib [19:06] z0net: Verion you're using of ubuntu and what chat programs? [19:06] parameter depends [19:06] z0net: if its not an issue with the client, maybe you're behind a restrictive firewall of some sort? [19:06] locate - find files by name [19:06] how can I configure my firewall [19:07] j41r0: no - it searches only specific file systems [19:07] z0net: You've tried in karmic and lucid??? [19:07] j41r0: needs updatedb and works different from "find" [19:07] read man pages man [19:07] when is Ubuntu 10.04 going to be released? [19:07] vng`: In about a month [19:07] [Ghost|BTFH]: I'm in lucid.. but in karmic it's the same problem.. [19:07] locate reads one or more databases prepared by updatedb(8) and writes [19:07] j41r0: all ikonia was saying was that there are places locate doesn't index. if the library is in one of those places, locate wont find it. [19:07] file names matching at least one of the PATTERNs to standard output, [19:07] one per line. [19:07] just not connect =\ [19:07] j41r0: I have read the man pages many time [19:07] z0net: lucid support is in #ubuntu+1 please [19:07] j41r0: only the file systems that are in the database [19:07] Ghost|BTFH: in the end of April? [19:08] znik: you might want to update your locate databse if this file was installed recently. usually your locate database is only updated ... I think daily. [19:08] z0net: I installed 1.2.6.2 myself for pidgin, and it's working peachy in Karmic. [19:08] vng`: Yep yep. [19:08] and z0net, I don't know what kind of firewall you might be behind. you mentioned you were able to connect to msn before but its not working now. what has changed?

Good times... good times... [19:12] underdev: Oh man, it was back in the 80's for me... [19:12] underdev: after that, everthing just became a blurr I call "yesterday" [19:12] z0net: hmm. I think someone mentioned the server and port for msn connections, maybe try telnetting to that server and port, see if your computer can connect to it at all. take the client out of the equation.

[19:17] I haven't installed any drivers. Just using what comes standard with the OS Install. [19:17] gibby13: I dont think compiz is the problem but solely that of the nvidia driver. Maybe you can try a different version of the driver if you havent already [19:17] sammy: Glad we could help. [19:17] hey all :D [19:17] Ghost|BTFH: :D [19:17] soreau, tried 173, 185, 190, 195........

[19:18] soreau, what would be the difference between 32bit and 64bit os, i did not have this problem with 64bit [19:18] I've never had an issue with it. [19:19] Of course, I'm silly...I actually check to see what hardware is supported by my OS before I just go installing willy-nilly. [19:19] Which is a great program, btw...you should all check out willy-nilly... [19:19] where do i find my cookies? [19:19] I run the 64-bit version. [19:19] gibby13: I dont know. Sounds like you are hitting a somewhat serious bug in the nvidia driver [19:19] Anybody want to trade video cards?

[19:57] *who [19:57] Hollyecho: you mean Vista SP2 [19:57] fuorviatos: wrong window :) [19:57] anybody know much about nut/upsd? i'm trying to plug an APC ES350 in via usb folllowing this: http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-a-ups-with-nut-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/ ...I see it come up in /var/log/messages when i plug it in, nut installed fine, and i created /etc/nut/ups.conf ok (just using driver=usbhid-ups and port=auto), but when I try to start upsdrvctl i get this error: [19:57] Can't claim USB device [051d:0002]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted [19:57] Hollyecho: :> [19:57] hi, someone knows how to get sound with Via card on ubuntu 9.1? [19:57] guntbert, What channel are you on? [19:58] sometux: Now now...it's more like...SP3... [19:58] fuorviatos: we were talking in #vbox [19:58] They did do a lot of fixing on it. [19:58] i have a question about dd; is it acceptable to give a harddisk name as the output file? [19:58] Running 9.10, 2x ati videocards, 3x monitors, can anyone help to get it work? [19:58] Ghost|BTFH: :> [19:58] sinisterstuf: yes, by using "/dev/hda" for example [19:58] sometux: And hell, you just can't argue with a 15 second boot time...and 5 minute loading time after the desktop shows up. [19:59] sinisterstuf: if by 'harddisk name' you mean 'device file' then yes [19:59] sometux: That was some skill. [19:59] AJW256: will it work? [19:59] Any chicks in the house? [19:59] Grub takes longer and longer to load every time I boot. Anyone know why it might do that? [19:59] i want to copy /dev/sde to /dev/sdd [19:59] Any chicks in the house? [19:59] Dengy: Yeah baby, I'm a chick... [19:59] haha [19:59] Ghost|BTFH: Linux forever! [20:00] sinisterstuf: simple as 'dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/sdd' [20:00] Dengy: What? Seriously...ignore the beard. [20:00] that is a funny one.P [20:00] Dengy: this is not a chat room for you to pick up women. This is a help channel. If you do not have a questions regarding Ubuntu then please leave and go to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:00] yaaar: thanks [20:00] cheers, see you all later [20:00] from cli, how would i remove all files (files only, not dirs) which filename starts with 'wget'? [20:00] Running 9.10, 2x ati videocards, 3x monitors, can anyone help to get it work? [20:00] sometux: Well, I look at it this way for me - I could use Windows...but then I'd have to buy about $2,500 worth of software for what I do on Linux for free. [20:01] brontosaurusrex: that didnt make sense to me. Can you re-phrase that? [20:01] eremite: del wget* [20:01] brontosaurusrex: rm wget* for all files in the current directory which you're in (not subdirs) [20:01] linux way [20:01] who needs women when you have jolta cola and a computer..:P [20:01] brontosaurusrex: sounds like you want to use 'find' and have it match the file type and filename [20:02] Dengy: Other women. [20:02] Dengy: please stay on topic or you may have to be removed from the channel. [20:02] >.> [20:02] Ghost|BTFH: waste of money, keep using Ubuntu [20:02] Are the any good TCPDump tutuorials for ubuntu? [20:02] abhinav: thanks [20:02] sometux: That's been my philosophy since ummm...Fedora 4, I think. === peter__ is now known as LucidLynx [20:02] back again [20:02] does dd not display anything while it works? [20:02] brontosaurusrex: er...are you wanting to walk a whole directory structure doing that? or just get rid of the ones in the current working directory? if you're just looking for how to do "del wget*" in linux, the answer is "rm wget*" ...but your first question sounds like you want something more sophisticated than that [20:02] running_rabbit07: Google is your friend for finding tutorials. [20:03] sinisterstuf: Not unless you use -v, I think for verbose mode. [20:03] sinisterstuf: no, IIRC [20:03] yaaar: just one folder [20:03] sinisterstuf: no. dd, like most unix tools, doesn't produce any output unless it encounters errors [20:03] exit [20:03] crap, wish i knew that earlier [20:03] find / -type f -name "wget*" exec rm {}; [20:03] ok thanks [20:03] i'm gonna go do something useful while i wait. thanks for the help. [20:04] I'm running 9.10, 2x ati videocards, 3x monitors, can anyone help to get them workin'? [20:04] j41r0: find / -type f -name "wget*" -exec rm '{}' \; [20:05] bronto: try using find / -type f -name "wget*" exec rm {}; [20:05] j41r0: still missing that final escape [20:05] j41r0: anything wrong with 'rm /path/wget*' ? [20:05] brontosaurusrex: the fancy find commands they're giving you will walk the whole filesystem looking for those files and removing them [20:06] if you want to delete only file I think is the better way [20:06] brontosaurusrex: if you just want to nuke the ones in the current working directory, you don't need anything fancier than 'rm wget*' [20:06] yaaar: cool [20:07] hi, someone knows how to get sound with Via card on ubuntu 9.1? [20:07] that ritg my comman line is for whole sistem [20:07] and is necessary run it as sudo [20:07] hi, all [20:07] in what repository is php5-mcrypt located in because i cannot seem to find it [20:08] !find php5-mcrypt [20:08] Found: php5-mcrypt [20:08] !info php5-mcrypt [20:08] well the package is a ghost [20:08] php5-mcrypt (source: php-mcrypt): MCrypt module for php5. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.2.6-0ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 14 kB, installed size 104 kB [20:08] astra-x: universe/web [20:09] just a little April Fools-"2 people, nick and quit are in a boat, nick fell off, who's left?"-only originally it was /nick and /quit, but that just gets evil, cuz typing "/quit" exits [20:09] yaaar: .com/ubuntu karmic universe/web for syntax? [20:09] acovrig: I prefer the one about rm -dfvr, but then, I am a BTFH... [20:10] I like workspaces, but is there a way to stick an application to a certain workspace? or if there are any other equivalents for it? [20:10] BTFH? [20:10] I've got an ubuntu server (9.10) running with ssh listening on port 22 and 12345. I can ssh into it from the LAN on these ports, but nowhere else. I have a firewall rule that opens these two ports from the outside, but nobody can connect. Why? [20:10] setuid: you need to forward the ports on your router/modem too [20:10] Hollyecho: is having a issue with Samba Authentication of a Printers Share on a Windows NT-7/W7 Based server [20:10] AJW256, I did that [20:11] 99.16.211.3 -> port 22 and port 12345, all point into this VM [20:11] Berzerker: try right clicking a window, I think it's in the dropdown menu somewhere === AzoteLogiko is now known as _Nacho_ [20:11] setuid : may be you need a DMZ [20:11] acovrig: It's like a BOFH but I'm a tech, not an operator. [20:11] hi [20:11] AJW256: it doesn't work correctly, if I alt+tab to it, it moves it to my current space [20:11] j41r0, Nope, because if I change the firewall rule to point to my laptop (VM is 10.0.1.15, laptop is 10.0.1.12) it works fine, and I can ssh from the outside, into my laptop [20:11] acovrig: Look up BOFH if you're still confused. [20:11] so if my username is 'b', then this crontab will remove all wget* and update.php* files in my home dir every hour - 5 * * * * rm /home/b/wget* && rm /home/b/update.php* - ? [20:12] ok I see [20:12] The problem is something local to the 9.10 server install... forbidding ssh connections [20:12] Berzerker: ahh, sorry can't help more than that [20:12] anyone give Hollyecho some help, its not my area of Expertise [20:12] I need some help with ejabberd and external auth, does someone know a good chan for that ? [20:12] I've dropped the firewall rules (iptables -F), and stopped apparmor (/etc/init.d/apparmor stop), but that didn't help [20:12] setupid: there is any MAC rule ? [20:12] nope [20:13] it works with the laptop, and other machines (I have other services port-forwarded to other machines on my LAN), just not this one machine [20:13] setuid: what software you use for VM? By what method are your networks attached? NAT? Bridged? [20:14] AJW256, vmware workstation 7.01 on the host (host is Ubuntu Lucid), and the networks I tried were both NAT and bridged. Both fail in exactly the same way (when firewall rules are modified to suit each config) [20:14] where is installed the fire wall router side or server side [20:14] my sound is being sent through the analogue output instead of hdmi, how can i change that? [20:14] j41r0, firewall is on the router [20:14] EVERY machine inside my LAN works as expected, just not this one [20:15] I can ssh into this machine FROM the lan machines, just not from the outside [20:15] so sshd is configured and listening properly on the requested ports [20:15] coul you specify the model ? linksys, dlink other? [20:15] Please help Hollyecho, i need to run. [20:15] j41r0, irrelevant, but it's a Buffalo [20:16] is quite relevant my friend , give me a second [20:16] j41r0, I also tried the AT&T 2WIRE, just to be sure (configuring the same exact fw rules), and it also fails [20:16] IOW, everything (8 machines, dozens of port rules) works fine behind EITHER the Buffalo or the 2WIRE, but this 9.10 server VM does not. [20:16] I see, is very weird but sure something is missing === JoshuaL_ is now known as JoshuaL [20:17] Yep.. someting other than iptables and apparmor is denying ssh connections on any port, to machines not inside 10.0.1.x [20:17] setuid: You said you can ssh to VM from another machine on the LAN, not only host machine? [20:17] mahlzeit [20:18] anybody know much about nut/upsd? i'm trying to plug an APC ES350 in via usb folllowing this: http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-a-ups-with-nut-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/ ...I see it come up in /var/log/messages when i plug it in, nut installed fine, and i created /etc/nut/ups.conf ok (just using driver=usbhid-ups and port=auto), but when I try to start upsdrvctl i get this error: [20:18] Can't claim USB device [051d:0002]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted [20:18] AJW256, yes [20:18] whats the command to remove a script from the RC. folders [20:18] The VM responds to ssh and telnet from any machine on the 10.0.1.x segment [20:19] i can never remember :/ [20:19] does nobody ever use hdmi sound output or what [20:19] masshuu: update-rc.d [20:19] anybody know of a free font similar to Calibri - I installed it on Ubuntu and forced my browser to use Calibri and it looks just amazing ! [20:19] ty [20:20] hello [20:20] can anybody tell me how to install .bin ? [20:21] can anybody tell me how to output sound over hdmi ? [20:21] jefy, chmod +x file.bin && ./file.bin; [20:21] . [20:21] matmatmat: Most likely, Google can tell you that. [20:22] well it didnt [20:22] heh [20:22] setuid, in the terminal? like this: chmod +x googleearthlinux.bin ? [20:22] jefy: yes [20:22] matmatmat: Try search pattern how to output sound through hdmi ubuntu [20:22] Worked for me. [20:22] i really did that [20:23] Very odd. [20:23] i adjusted the volume, as stated and tried other things [20:23] AJW256, where should I put the .bin file? my desktop? [20:23] sorry. im too new to this [20:23] also i'm using xfce [20:23] jefy: ANywhere, desktop is fine [20:23] AJW256, thanks [20:23] how do I unrar a file? [20:23] firmW__, apt-get install unrar [20:24] firmW__: sudo apt-get install unrar [20:24] unrar x file.rar [20:24] matmatmat: Did you see http://www.mediaboxblog.co.uk/blog1.php/2008/08/15/howto-audio-over-hdmi-with-the-hd3200-rs [20:24] jefy: what are you trying to install? [20:24] matmatmat: As for xfce, I couldn't help you with that, if they have an xbuntu chat channel, I'd try there. [20:24] guntbert, google earth [20:25] !xubuntu [20:25] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [20:25] thank you guys! [20:25] jefy: wait - that should be available in another way [20:25] guntbert, alright. waiting :) [20:25] jefy: guntbert medibuntu has it afaik also google has its own ubuntu repo [20:25] jefy: listen to erUSUL please [20:26] !medibuntu | jefy [20:26] jefy: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:26] urm? [20:27] Hello. Im getting painfully slow internet speed on my fresh install. I'm using a wired network and my internet is fine on windows. P.S: How do I set the bit rate for my network card? [20:27] does that means i cannot install it? [20:27] Whisky: Painfully slow internet speed doing what? [20:27] jefy: Add the repo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [20:27] hi there, i asked already in the xubuntu irc, just wondering, does anyone has an idea, why my dell d400 latitude screen goes non responsive when closing lid [20:27] then you can install [20:28] Ghost|BTFH: Downloading, mainly. Can't get over 20 kb/s [20:28] jefy: that means that you can install it easily from Software center once you added medibuntu [20:28] and its a xubuntu 9.10 desktop [20:28] erUSUL: oh ok :) [20:28] Whisky: only on torrents or for all files? [20:28] How do I install support for a usb pen drive? [20:28] Whisky: Internet dling, like files/video or update dling like...well...dling updates? [20:28] Question .. there a way to scroll thru a long command in terminal instead of holding arrow keys ? there short cut keys ? [20:28] I'm using VMWare fusion on a mac to play with 10.04. It works great, but once I apt-get upgrade, something takes out my keyboard and it no longer accepts input. Any idea which package might do that? [20:29] Whisky, Tried switching hardware between the windows and linux machine? cables, ports etc? [20:29] !less | macman_ [20:29] mouse still works, tho [20:29] Whisky: does your ISP throttle bandwidth? Mine does. I cant get speeds higher than 30kbps durring *peak* hours, basically 4pm to 2am. [20:29] any knows, why i can add NIC R6040 module in initramfs to use in LTSP clients? [20:29] !info less | macman_ [20:29] macman_: less (source: less): pager program similar to more. In component main, is important. Version 429-2 (karmic), package size 123 kB, installed size 312 kB [20:29] macman_: man readline --> key bindings [20:29] Is there a more direct way of getting the current RCS version of a file without grepping the log? [20:29] costre: It's notebooks and it's been this way because of the fresh install. [20:29] what is the keyboard shortcut to Terminal? [20:29] eremite: Noop. Over 200kb/s here on Windows [20:30] nbtstatz: maybe adding the modulename to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and rebuilding the initrd ? [20:30] just installed ubuntu on my desktop but i dont have sound? Creative soundblaster x-fi fatality edtion? [20:30] Whisky, But there has to be cables involved? Or do you use wireless? [20:30] do i need some extra driver? [20:30] Ghost|BTFH: I'm in shell because my graphics got damaged due to a disturbed update because my power rAN out [20:30] erUSUL u know as i can do it? or have a tuto? [20:30] costre: wireless tends to be slower than wired. Why would you nee wireless if you are wired? [20:30] costre: I can't use wifi at the moment and yes, it was the same with wifi. [20:31] hi there! [20:31] I've heard of the bit rate being set at 1MB/s by default at times. How do I change it to 11M for eth0? [20:31] eremite, That's stupid. I have laptops I carry around the place, using wireless network conections [20:31] #ubuntu-hu [20:31] When I plug my pen drive it doesn't mount it. What I need to do? [20:31] I had a problem during the migration toward Ubuntu Karmic [20:31] Whisky: Same question...is it trying to download files like, via bittorrent, web browser, or strictly updates? [20:31] pen drive is a usb memory dongle? [20:31] costre: you're stupid. I never said anything about laptops, I said why do you need wireless if you are wired? Whoo said anything about laptops or portability? Not me. Dont call me names, asshat. [20:32] costre, yes [20:32] Ghost|BTFH: Updates only. I'm trying to fix my messed up system because of a failed upgrade [20:32] I have to call gconftool at each reboot for reloading panels; is there a way to avoid that? [20:32] evenin' all [20:32] eremite, If it was a joke, it went over my head [20:33] costre: you confirm your stupidity. Thanks. [20:33] firmW__: do you have gnome-volume-manager installed and running? [20:33] Whisky: Have you had Synaptic check to see the best location for downloads for you yet? [20:33] I have ubuntu 9.10, want to use a printer that is connected to a Windows 7 machine. I have the printer shared, and the shared works with the other windows computers, but when trying to connect with Ubuntu, it keeps asking for a user name and password. I have never setup a password on any of my windows machines. How to make it connect to Ubuntu? [20:33] Hollyecho: your ubuntu admin pass does not work? [20:34] no, tried that 1st [20:34] Hollyecho: what is doing the sharing, thw windows OS or the printer software [20:34] Ghost|BTFH: Can you just tell me how to set the bitrate? Becuase I know it's with my network configuration not my location and shit [20:34] I have to call gconftool at each reboot for reloading panels; is there a way to avoid that? [20:34] swoody, just if it default. [20:34] Windows os is doing the sharing [20:34] Hollyecho: ok - so first thing's first, go to ##windows and get them to help you setup the share correctly and test it with a windows client [20:34] i know iwconfig does it for wireless but I wanna know about wired :) [20:34] Hollyecho: and not entering a password doesn't help? I think this may be like samba, where you're going to need to setup a password on the Windows machine [20:35] I have to call gconftool at each reboot for reloading panels; is there a way to avoid that? [20:35] firmW__: which version of Ubuntu are you running? [20:35] anybody know much about nut/upsd? i'm trying to plug an APC ES350 in via usb folllowing this: http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-a-ups-with-nut-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/ ...I see it come up in /var/log/messages when i plug it in, nut installed fine, and i created /etc/nut/ups.conf ok (just using driver=usbhid-ups and port=auto), but when I try to start upsdrvctl i get this error: [20:35] Can't claim USB device [051d:0002]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted [20:35] eremite: please don't call people stupid [20:35] swoody, I think it's the last one. [20:35] Whisky: Hmmm...well, ifconfig I believe does the deed...but if you're having dl speed troubles in wireless on updates, I'm tellin' ya...you need to change where you're dling from...but w/e [20:35] I tried to setup a new account with the user name help and 1234 as the password, still will not get past the user name and password screen [20:35] firmW__: 9.10 Karmic? [20:36] I have to call gconftool at each reboot for reloading panels; is there a way to avoid that? [20:36] swoody, not sure it it's karmic named. how do I cehck it? [20:36] anyone can help me? [20:36] Ghost|BTFH: It was the same with wireless even when downloading firefox, watching youtube, browsing google.com [20:36] check* [20:36] steelbox: how exactly you run gconftool ? [20:36] firmW__: System>Admin>System Monitor, it should say under the 'System' tab [20:36] Hi there, I'm kind of new to Ubuntu, is there any way I can list installed memory modules in a system? [20:37] Ghost|BTFH: I'm wired at the moment. How do I change bitrate for my network card? Not my wifi card? [20:37] erUSUL: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [20:37] Wicaeed: best to check in BIOS [20:37] Sec [20:37] swoody, yes. it's called karmic. [20:38] I am using 9.10 ubuntu - updated this morning [20:38] firmW__: excellent. Now go to System>Admin>Synaptic, and search for: gnome-volume-manager [20:38] steelbox: if you do not do that the panels do not appear or what? do they crash ? [20:38] firmW__: it should show a green box next to the name if it's installed [20:39] erUSUL: exactly, otherwise panels are empty are each reboot [20:39] is thr a package for postgis 1.5.1 on ubuntu 9.10 ? [20:40] Whisky: I'm guessing you'd have to change it in the config files. [20:40] I'm using VMWare fusion on a mac to play with 10.04. It works great, but once I apt-get upgrade, something takes out my keyboard and it no longer accepts input. Any idea which package might do that? [20:40] znik: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ :) [20:40] Ghost|BTFH: etc/network/interfaces? [20:40] i want to md5 check a file is there somthing built in to linux [20:41] !md5sum | sine0 [20:41] sine0: 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 [20:41] You know, like /sys/class/net/eth0/something or another. [20:41] cool [20:41] steelbox: :/ the running gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel *once* should be enough to cure something like this ... [20:41] Is there anyway back from having modified nsswitch.conf to use winbind when not logged in as root that doesnt involve been physically at the machine? [20:41] sine0: and if you type md5sum in your terminal you will see that its already installed :) [20:41] erUSUL: yeah but in fact not in my case [20:41] Whisky: You *might* be able to do that in there as well...I know for like, older ports, you'd have to go through /sys/class/ blah blah and set the speed there. [20:42] erUSUL: so, I'm a little bit lost [20:42] firmW__: did you find it? [20:42] erUSUL: I need some help because I don't want to reinstall [20:42] I'm a 1 day old Linux user :/ [20:43] welcome aboard Whisky :) [20:43] thanks swoody [20:43] i got an odd issue here.. i wanted to install Xubuntu to my spare 200GBHDD. side by side w/ Windows server 2008 R2, but when i went to prepare by splitting the drive gparted shows it as unpartitioned. when it works fine in windows. [20:43] very tough time given by Linux [20:43] hi guys [20:43] I was wondering [20:44] swoody, well, I think I had to install it. But hasn't mounted my pen drive yet. [20:44] hi [20:44] Whisky: And you're trying to mess with network card speeds... [20:44] Dracari: do you have ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g installed? [20:44] Whisky: Wow. You're going to have lots of fun. [20:44] LiveCD of xubuntu 9.10 [20:44] Ghost|BTFH: Yes [20:44] firmW__: you're going to have to reboot. Also make sure it shows up in System>Prefs>Startup Apps. [20:44] nautilus *really* needs a "Skip All" anytime there is a dialog with "Skip" [20:44] but gparted sees my 500GB win7 drive properly. [20:44] firmW__: otherwise it won't auto-load during startup [20:44] steelbox: can you create a new user and see if the isuue happens to it too ? [20:45] I have several server vms laying out my desktops, so I downloaded ESXi for a more serious virtualization solution, the machines are VirtualBox-based but Im able to conver them through VBoxManage utility, I was wondering, how can I easily deploy this virtual machines to this ESXi server just intalled, [20:45] and what's about vClient evualation, after 60 days I have no access to management but yes to virtual machines right???

I've tried virtually every plugins directory available /usr/lib/{firefox, mozilla-firefox, xulrunner}/plugins etc [21:29] also I talked to people who spent their whole christmas debuggin why things wouldn't work - 2.12 being the soluation [21:29] swoody, I used a livecd before installing ubuntu, and it didn't work there, but maybe i should try a diffrent livecd or xp [21:30] nicetry: so they should be able to support your web stack from this point on then [21:30] when i hit 'i' after sudo vi /etc/fstab, at the bottom in red it says W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file. Here is the contents of the file (i still have it on my macbook desktop, i sftp'd it from the acer to my mac here, chanhed line line 10 to remont-ro from rw) [21:30] ikonia: how do you mean? [21:30] WierdAAR: I think that would be a good idea. If it doesn't work with Windows, most likely it's a hardware issue :/ [21:30] http://pastebin.com/sPu1igqP sorry [21:30] nicetry: you're moving your web stack away form ubuntu supported, so they will now have to support it [21:30] n0000b: I told you what to do [21:30] godaften [21:30] n0000b: boot from a live CD, mount your disk and edit fstab from the live cd [21:31] ikonia: this is what I'm looking at http://www.dotdeb.org/2010/01/11/php-5-2-12-packages-are-here/ I guess they fixed more than 60 bugs in .2.12 [21:31] swoody, Yeah.. I have to buy a new laptop anyway, just would be nice to have a working backup. Well, thanks for all the help anyway. I'm going to try xp, and see if i have any luck there [21:31] nicetry: that doesn't change anything, your webstack will no longer be supported by ubuntu [21:31] WierdAAR: sounds good, let me know how it goes :) [21:32] swoody, will do! :) [21:32] i downloaded ubuntu but struggled to make a bootable usb drive for the revo to load. i have a usb XBMCLive drive that does work tho, can i boot into that, press ctrl alt F1 to brng up a terminal window to edit the file? [21:32] how do I get unbanned on ubu+1? [21:32] qqqalex: #ubuntu-ops to discuss bans please [21:32] Hello everyone, I try to run xpra... but I get this problem: http://pastebin.com/4mwHBa11 any idea please? [21:32] thx, sorry [21:32] n0000b: I've told you what to do - download ubuntu livecd - boot from that, mount the disk and edit the file from there [21:33] n0000b: you should be able to, XMBC is based on Ubuntu, so it should have the base system underneath [21:33] ikonia: true, if I do that I wouldn't be under your support, but to go back to my orignal question - you can specify a specific package and version with apt-get upgrade? [21:33] nicetry: your out of support - ask the guys who now support you [21:33] Hi all, my ubuntu won't boot. I get an error saying "mountall: cannot mount /proc device or drive busy" can somebody help me please ? [21:33] does anyone have instructions to create a usb thumb drive unbuntu boot, using a mac? [21:34] n0000b: any reason you're not using a CD ? [21:34] my acer revo doesn't have a CD drive [21:34] that would explain that [21:34] anyone NVM i found out [21:34] i was getting gtk but then the computer was turned off before it finished, isn't there a way to continue from where i was? [21:34] ikonia: hey no need to put me in a box, I haven't made any non standard changes to my system yet, I'm asking about apt-get because the man page is ambiguous. [21:35] when i run vi /etc/fstab, i get the blue ~ at the bottom, from the instructions its looks like thats the only place i can add new lines of text [21:35] n0000b: you need sudo [21:35] n0000b: sudo vi /etc/fstab [21:35] nicetry: apt-get update $package-name [21:35] n0000b: try sudo nano /etc/fstab - nano may be easier to use if you're not familiar with vi [21:36] thanks ikonia [21:36] sudoedit will choose the default editor [21:36] n0000b: just use ctrl+o to save, and ctrl+x to exit nano [21:36] n0000b: you cannot edit the file on a read only partition from a running system - you really need a live CD [21:36] ok cool, i was using pico the other day, i'll try nano now... [21:36] n0000b: very similar ;) [21:36] swoody: he's got himself locked out by making / read only in fstab [21:37] Hi all, my ubuntu won't boot. I get an error saying "mountall: cannot mount /proc device or drive busy" can somebody help me please ?

[21:39] !hi | Iuly [21:39] Iuly: 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! [21:39] n0000b: are you familiar with how to boot from single-user mode? [21:39] guest1, can you boot into recovery mode? [21:39] is there any way to tag tracks within rhythmbox? maybe with a plug in i havn't heard of? [21:39] no slugbox [21:39] im on the live cd at the mo [21:40] yeah i cant save the changes cos it's a read only file system, its the same error as pico was giving me when i tried. i kinda understand i need to boot from another system to edit the internal, i'm an apple technician and as its unix its kinda the same.... wow apple really train their geniuses well... [21:40] robleekip: tag tracks as in artist ant track name etc? [21:40] so if i boot from my XBMC Live usb drive, bring up a terminal, that should work? [21:40] so on my ubuntu 9.10, when i create self-signed keys, i keep getting this error: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long [21:40] my apache confs are: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/196491/ [21:40] guest1, did you make any importand changes recently to the system? [21:40] im very familiar with single user on a mac [21:41] if someone can help debug this error, that would be great [21:41] n0000b: yes, boot from your usb, mount your HDD & edit the fstab [21:41] I'd like to have a does-everything panel on the bottom, in a similar style to Windows (sorry). I've deleted the top panel and added everything I want to the bottom. However, now, if I right click a program from the and select "Add this launcher to panel" it hides the list of running programs. Is there any way to fix this? [21:41] sinisterstuff: lets say i want to tag a song Hip Hop and also tag it Gangster Rap [21:41] n0000b: it *should* work with XBMC. I would try booting your system into single-user mode, and run: fsck -A -a [21:41] n0000b: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ [21:41] slugbox - yeah i think i accidently removed some c libraries [21:41] This is not a 10.04 question. I was reading up on the window buttons in 10.04, and came across instructions to move the buttons if so desired, by using gconf. Is it possible to use the same "trick" to move the buttons in 9.10, in order to get used to the positioning before switching to 10.04? [21:42] n0000b: yes, that should work as well - you just need a system where your partition is not mounted read only [21:42] AbuMaia: yes, it's the same method :) [21:42] Guten Abend Verehrte und Herren [21:42] robleekip: my name has only 1 f. wouldn't you just write those under genre, separated by a semicolon ; ? [21:43] swoody: is there anything else I need to do after editing through gconf? I tried it already, and nothing happened. [21:43] AbuMaia: move the window decoration buttons? minimize/close and such? [21:43] Typos_King: yes [21:43] AbuMaia: what's the entry now? [21:43] ahh...ok [21:43] How do I change the default file manager from konqueror to gnomes file manager in gnome? [21:43] sinisterstuf: ill try it out now [21:43] AbuMaia: can copy/paste it here [21:43] i'll try single user now, then the XBMC usb drive if it doesnt work [21:44] mluser-Work: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager [21:44] n0000b: ok [21:44] Anyone Empathy 2.30 users here? Has anyone else noticed that Empathy randomly stops scrolling the IRC chat window? Quite annoying. I guess this might be a bug. [21:44] mluser-Work: I think is under... you're in Kubuntu I gather.... System settings > Advanced > default applications [21:44] swoody: thanks :) [21:44] swoody: /apps/metacity/general/button_layout: maximize,minimize,close:menu [21:45] dos eny one know how to get team viewer on linux on ubuntu [21:45] rebleekip: it doesn't work, i apologise [21:45] Typos_King: actually I'm in gnome right now, but I do have both kde and gnome installed.. but for some reason my default file manager is konqueror, even in gnome [21:45] AbuMaia: hmm... that should do it. Try logging out or rebooting yet? [21:45] robleekip: it doesn't work, i apologise [21:46] swoody: several times, actually [21:46] guest1: i'm looking for a way to install packages to the hdd installation via live cd, but finding nothing. sorry i can't help you. maybe you can look in the apt history somehow and see exactly what changes were made, and go from there [21:46] AbuMaia: or try removing 'menu' and keep the ':' where it is [21:46] Hey guys, how can I confirm iam running amd64 instead of i386 ? [21:46] slugbox, chroot the hdd [21:46] happy osestern and bybybyby and oao [21:46] swoody: I'll try that and get back to you [21:46] how do i view the apt history please slug? [21:46] EagleWatch: uname -a [21:46] hey guys, i have a HP laptop, where do i find my wlan drivers?

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

[22:18] yeah i have it alpha [22:18] deegen: oops, I think what you wanted was this. append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.102.11.239:/srv/nfs/ubuntu/mnt initrd=images/ubuntu/casper/initrd.lz [22:19] but don't have a folder wine [22:19] um i want to install ubuntu karmic.. i have win on one partition already and have another linux distro on another parition.. have /boot and /home on their own partitions.. have an ext3 partition ready for ubuntu.. not sure what to do next? what is best way to install ubuntu as a 3rd OS? i'm sure there will be some issues with grub... [22:19] :S [22:19] no king = i mean when you turn on your come puter there is a breaf screen that says grub loading then a courser then the u or xsplash shows up i would like to hide the grub loading screen and the courser fallowed after [22:19] Alpha-DOG, You need to "show hidden files" [22:19] <_pepo_> has Ubuntu by default support for SAS disks? [22:19] Alpha-DOG: ctrl-h [22:19] Alpha-DOG, CTRL-H [22:19] LeXus22: you mean like genealogy? [22:19] User_: do you want to install Grub from Ubuntu? Or add an entry to your current boot manager? [22:19] haha thanks a lot :D:D:D:D [22:19] i already have grub [22:20] sinisterstuf peraps bios says "chassis intruded, system now halt fatal error [22:20] Alpha-DOG, all files with . in the beginning are hidden [22:20] http://pastebin.com/yVcxSs8C [22:20] any ideas? [22:20] is configured for my other linux distro and my win [22:20] i need help getting my ubuntu to work i did a dis upgrade and i am having a mounting filesystem error [22:20] Gifted_Child: not sure you can :| [22:20] h0dg3s: Yes, that's what I was looking for. Is 10.102.11.239 your server? [22:20] User_: well it's up to whatever you decide, if you want to keep it, you will need to add a manual entry for Ubuntu, if you let Ubuntu install Grub, it should recognze your other OS'es and show them all at bootup [22:20] Is there a more user friendly bootloader that will work with windows? [22:20] i want to install ubuntu on a new partition and edit my grub so it will boot it aswell [22:21] User_: if you want to keep things as-is make sure to install Ubuntu's grub boot-loader to the ext3 partition... [22:21] deegen: yes. I typed in the wrong IP address before and it wasn't finding it, but now it's definitely finding it before getting a permission denied error. [22:21] ok sind me a step by step on how to do that slugbox im new to the Ubuntu world [22:21] User_: and you'll also have to select your partitions to install to manually, and use the ext3 partition with no swap [22:21] apt-get update does nothing. [22:21] to help, that is. [22:22] it can share the swap with another distro [22:22] User_: oh, sorry didn't see that you had swap :) [22:22] i have several partitions [22:22] have been at this a while lol [22:22] I noticed some of my bash scripts are failing and I'm getting crazy to understand the reason, if someone here can please help... [22:23] Gifted_Child: open a terminal and type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst then remove the pound symbol before #hiddenmenu, then set the timeout to 0, then save [22:23] if I have a directory with 3 files named a b and c (one letter lowercase) and I do "ls [A-Z]", what I should expect? [22:23] Gifted_Child: but beware, you may need grub later on, and will have to type Esc at boot to get there [22:24] User_: yeah, that would be about it. Make sure your Ubuntu grub will only be installed on it's own partition, and manually select the partitions during install, and you're good to go :) [22:24] ok so just don't mount /boot [22:24] zenvoid: nothing or an error :P [22:24] with the ubuntu install? [22:24] Typos_King: yeah, but why do I get "b c" ? [22:24] i have /boot on its own partition also [22:25] User_: no, I would just make one / partition, and use the other swap partition, then at the last screen of the install, there's an option where you want Grub to be installed, let me get you a bit more info on that... [22:25] User_: your boot will be in your / partition [22:25] zenvoid: ls -l DIRHERE | grep [a-c]; I assume is what you want? [22:25] yeah if i dont mount /boot then it will go to / [22:25] h0dg3s: Sorry. I can't think of anything else. [22:25] right? [22:26] .. actually [22:26] zenvoid: ls -l DIRHERE | grep ^[a-c]; I assume is what you want? [22:26] Hey, can someone give me a hand direct connecting two computers via ethernet cable? [22:26] I am having problems with rsync, what is wrong with http://pastebin.com/Cmn3Zx4t - the first line is the command, the rest is the output, given /test is the remote dir, and /Users/acovrig/desktop/0001 is the local dir [22:26] k so then i just load the other distro and edit it's grub to add the other distro? [22:26] hey i seen a screenshot of a cool desktop widgets or something with CPU meter and memory usage. Where can i get them ? [22:26] i need help on getting my ubuntu server working i did a distro upgrade and now im getting a mount felsystem error [22:27] zenvoid: bash doesn't do regexp straight off, so [A-Z] will mean something completely diferent [22:27] Rafi: you need a crossover cable for that, or a router in between [22:27] User_ usually you donh't have to do all that, sudo update-grub; automates all that adding already === arand_ is now known as arand [22:27] arand_, it can, with extglobbing [22:27] User_: http://www.linuxdynasty.org/images/stories/distros/ubuntu/install6.png [22:27] I thought with gigabit cards no router is needed [22:27] !ubuntu-server | Xodiac13 [22:27] Xodiac13: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[22:28] possibly ? i'll google conk [22:28] y [22:28] User_: then in the Grub you have currently isntalled, you just need to create an entry as a chain-loader and have it point to your Ubuntu partition [22:29] slugbox when i sudo in to root or normal theres nothing in the box [22:29] Gifted_Child: i'm not sure what you mean. what box are you talking about [22:30] hey! how i do to upgrade gnome to 2.30?

[22:35] on a next book [22:35] Gifted_Child, ubuntu 9.10 uses grub2. The instructions your are following are for grub1 [22:35] that info would have been helpful in the beginning, too [22:35] my bad [22:36] Gifted_Child: I think you might be able to use -> hiddemenu timeout=0 [22:36] n0000b, chmod? [22:36] can anybody help me on private ? === dmb__ is now known as dmb [22:36] Danijel, no. Just ask your question in here. [22:36] Danijel: ask in here, you're more likely to be helped that way [22:36] ive tried chmod, chown but everytime it tells me the drive is read only [22:36] danielck, depends ... ask the question in broad terms first [22:36] Danijel, [22:37] costre: n0000b changed his root drive to read only in Fstab or something like that [22:37] i think whats confusing me, its seems from what ive learnt today, thats drives are mounted in one place (/dev/) and phically in another (/media) or something... [22:37] is there a way to get a printer working that technically has no driver in linux? that I can find [22:37] it's an older one [22:38] n0000b, Is the drive full of stuff?

[22:38] xerox workcentre pro 16fx [22:38] really don't want to have to use windows on my desktop [22:38] n0000b, dev is like the ohysical unit, the hardware .. /media is the partitions and the storage [22:38] whats weird is that wehn u scan for new media in xbmx, it creates a rhubnail image and a little database file, no problem everytime, so it can def write to the drive [22:38] sort of === chains is now known as gBoggs [22:39] yeah im slowly getting my head round it i think [22:39] hi , need help please, when i try to do "make install_local" i get a message "make: *** No rule to make target `install_local'.

[22:39] :( [22:39] how to easily clean /tmp without deleting anything I shouldn't? [22:40] do i need to unmount the drive first, then try chmod on /dev/sda2 or something? [22:40] WHen calling sudo apt-get update, it sticks on "99% [Waiting for headers]" [22:40] What's the problem? [22:40] costre: the physical disks are accessed via /dev/disk/ device files in /dev like /dev/hda are just a way to make things easier [22:41] cheri703: sorry, I'm not finding anything that looks promising :/ [22:41] hi! [22:41] cheri703: you could try to sell it and find a compatible printer? I had to do the same with a Lexmark I had [22:41] from here, cann't be looked for the source packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ? [22:41] guest1, whats up?

[22:42] cheri703: do you have a Windows computer at home? You could connect it to that, and share it over your network [22:42] it was formatted on a mac and used with an AppleTV, buts it's all unix right? should be fine to write to the drive? [22:42] guest1, Does it stop during boot up? Wait half an hour and come back :) [22:42] macman__: cd /directory; ls * [22:42] well, my desktop is a dual boot [22:42] macman__: use tree(1) [22:42] husband's computer is windows only, but...we'll see.

[22:59] so now that i've compiz enabled...how do i make conky starts when i log in please ? [22:59] say, if i have a software on /home/winterelf/soft/googo/go ("go" is the executable file) and i want the program to run every time when i type go how can i do that? i should copy all the software to /usr/bin? [22:59] macman__: you get it, ive gtg [22:59] LinuxGuy2009: well yeah but then they probably all need updating anyway [22:59] winterelf: set up a CLI alias [22:59] winterelf: just symlink the binary to ~/bin/go [23:00] HexLaTor: preferences->startup programs [23:00] hmm [23:00] Ok thanks. & Bye [23:00] winterelf, I know :) [23:00] winterelf: You have two choises.

[23:01] acicula: cool thanks [23:01] guest1: Bug #447747 has alot of info on it, some of which *might* be relevant, one easy thing to try is to boot a liveCD and confirm the fstab uuid entries match that of blkid. [23:01] How do I fix a Jaunty -> Karmic upgrade which has gone awry? (Connection interrupted during the upgrade) [23:01] costre: yea i had that idea but didn't had a clue [23:01] rapha_: restart update-manager ? [23:01] winterelf: google is your friend ;) [23:01] guest1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/447747 that is. [23:01] rapha_, just run it from where it stopped [23:01] winterelf, To save your and their time, google the answers :) [23:01] acicula: i did that but now it offers to upgrade to LYNX?! [23:01] Trying to install Verlihub, but couldn't ./configure - error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/407771/ [23:01] I'm having an issue with webpage times.

[23:03] says /proc is busy [23:03] acicula - don't be snide, the error is 304 lines long.

I mean... why is not booting.... you go boot the machine and the 1st thing that shows up on the screen is that? [23:04] 't ubuntu let me change folder permissions ? >.< [23:04] how do do that costre ??

I would still guess that to be a boot-order and thus bios issue, but if not I really don't know. [23:53] Simon1245, Or, if it's your download dir, just repeat the process somewhere else. Nothing in there is meant to last forever :) [23:54] arand that makes twenty of us :p [23:54] costre, I moved it :D [23:54] billy_, If you find out what's wrong, let us know somehow [23:55] arand yep ive checked the settins 10 times over before i re-installed on this old hard-drive lol [23:55] costre, i will do lol [23:55] Does anyone know if there is a way to get a normal taskbar transmission icon in ubuntu, one that doesn't use indicator-applet, without installing transmission from a non-lucid repo?
