One mounts without problems while the other two have major problems. [00:01] norbi905: and add universe [00:01] BlubbTec, so it's a buffer issue resulting from the change? [00:01] Getting error at startup: Mount of file system failed. A maintenance shell will be started Control D will terminate... [00:01] Printer has been supported by Ubuntu since 8.04 so that is obviously not the problem. [00:01] help [00:01] Tombuntu, main, universe and multiverse .. try that [00:02] Lomi: uff, i'm actually not sure what causes the bug internally, but it's some miscommunication between alsa and pulse caused by some bugs in the karmic-alsa version [00:02] norbi905: Thanks got it. [00:02] BlubbTec, so just get update? [00:02] * PunchyPanther jumps for joy [00:02] BlubbTec, or go change the aperture aswell? [00:03] Lomi: all I did was downloading the alsa-plugins in that ppa [00:03] BlubbTec, alright man, I'll have a look. [00:03] Cheers [00:03] gl [00:06] Isn't it right that flash memory degrades over time? Then that might be the problem with the two devices that I am having issues mounting. [00:06] checking /var/log and there is a file poularity-contest anyone know what this is? [00:06] Like as of constant use. [00:07] ring1: that contest has to do with debian stuff [00:07] or so I was told [00:07] Can someone help me with this: Getting error at startup: Mount of file system failed.

[00:10] ah i see [00:11] On a related note. Since switching from Debian to Ubuntu, I'm finding myself waiting far longer for the headers on an apt-get update than I did under Debian. Any reasons why?

[00:12] ubuntu__, /home is a separate dir [00:12] not in the default install unop [00:12] just did it for my brother today [00:12] unop: by default? [00:12] !away | alden_away [00:12] alden_away, please see my private message [00:13] ubuntu__, Draglor - do you mean "separate partition" instead??

[00:16] alo [00:17] last try anyone Getting error at startup: Mount of file system failed. A maintenance shell will be started Control D will terminate... [00:17] ubuntu__, perhaps, i'm not sure -- I always create a separate partition for /home -- the point is, if the installer formats / in the install process, then you lose /home -- you can stop the installer from formatting / but then that defeats the point of a 'clean install' or a 'reinstall' as you are left with all the cruft from the old install. [00:17] ubuntu__: I would start by reviewing /etc/fstab and then determine if the hard drive is having problems [00:17] he could wipe anything instead of home before install [00:18] I have Dial up Modem support issues. [00:18] ok thks [00:18] ubuntu__, enter the maintenance shell and then try .. sudo mount -a # that should list the problem hopefully [00:18] I have found that a non-Winmodem made by 3Com doesn't work right under Ubuntu [00:18] but DOES work right under Mandriva.

[00:23] ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386 is what I'm using [00:24] you could start from cd, chmod into your installed system and change the password then Liquinn45 [00:24] Liquinn45, in grub menu choose recovery and from there use the following command than reboot again and login with your new pass [00:24] +list [00:24] bah.

[00:42] hi, how do you use signals such as usr1? [00:42] tetsuo__: the built-in archive manager will then be able to handle it [00:42] daftykins: it says extracting but doesnt actually put any files in the folder [00:42] switch10, ok maybe you want to try recovering the data than repartitioning the drive [00:42] Hey, I'm trying to start compiz fusion, and I get this error: http://pastebin.com/8ZA6SJQQ [00:43] I have an NVIDIA gfx card, so I'm not sure what's up [00:43] tetsuo__: i had that with either unrar or unrar-nonfree, one works, one doesn't [00:43] Eri_: was it an ubuntu install you have anything important on?

[00:44] daftykins: I'd MUCH rather not overwrite it.

I want both of them to work. [00:57] @dafty - yes [00:58] BlubbTec, still around ?

[01:00] nvidia geforce2 330 M card [01:00] the 185 driver [01:01] its lik, the kernel isn't choosing the right EDID for the monitor [01:01] skywalker_: it might be worth trying the newer versions; https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [01:01] what are those ? [01:01] the nvidia PPA to get the 190 and 195 driver [01:02] how do I install those ?

[01:04] Question: I have Adobe Reader 9 on Ubuntu 9.04. Every time I open a PDF it opens it in about 10% zoom. If I resize it and close it, and reopen it it will still be zoomed at 10%. How can I change it to open the way I want it (say 95% for example)? [01:04] Happy Easter [01:05] UbuntuBoy: wouldn't you rather use a nice FOSS PDF reader? :D [01:05] you too meowbuntu [01:05] I don't know what FOSS is :( I use adobe. [01:05] free open source software [01:05] !foss [01:05] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [01:06] Kentrel: ty :) [01:06] Okular is a nice pdf app [01:06] UbuntuBoy: yeah, why use adobe reader? use something free. if you insist though, if there isn't something in the settings about a default zoom level you'll probably have no choice [01:06] Though there are "free-er" ones [01:07] Well I also use foxit and others and try to use FOSS when I can, but adobe seems to be superiour. [01:07] amimusa: wb. when you got some time, try a pulseaudio -v and pastebin the result [01:08] Foxit seem to have the same probs as Adobe (although it does open a bit bigger). [01:08] yeah i put Fox-it PDF reader on peoples computers that i setup / advise it to people [01:08] but that's windows... [01:09] UbuntuBoy: you talkin about the embedding /launch and /action into pdfs? [01:09] no more suggestions? [01:09] I couldn't get Fox it working on Ubuntu under wine [01:09] but okular is still good [01:09] hi [01:10] Onde coloco #ubuntu-br? [01:10] By default, Ubuntu has a email icon on the panel which interfaces with email and im. Is it possible to get that menu to use Mozilla Thunderbird instead of Evolution? [01:10] mcurrington: can't you just drag the thunderbird icon onto it ? [01:10] @Kentrel: foxit has a native linux version [01:10] mcurrington, sure, drag from the applications menu and put it there [01:11] First install thunderbird though [01:11] hi, I installed ubuntu mini with openbox and auto startx after login but i need to auto login without gdm googled for it but they ask me to edit inittab but not applicable in 9.10 please help [01:11] btw, i want to change the evolution link in that menu to a kdocker evolution call, is that possible? [01:12] @CyberaX2195: i don't think so, I'm talking about Adobe opening PDF always at 10% zoom [01:12] CyberaX2195 , bazhang : It just places itself next to the icon, doesn't want to move into the menu? === mod is now known as Guest54172 [01:12] mcurrington, removed evolution yet? then just slide tb icon into place [01:13] Alguem pode me dar uma ajuda?

[02:01] Mfrogg: not really, but there's no reason you couldn't run an OpenVPN server atop the file server as a VM [02:01] hi guys [02:01] apatheticsheep: by the way. Are you running ubuntu on a laptop? [02:02] do you know hackthissite.org [02:02] ?????? [02:02] cedriczg: no [02:02] how can I connect to their IRC [02:02] ???? [02:02] Mfrogg: wait for server 10.04 lucid lynx at the end of april, as it's an LTS release and therefore will be supported longer [02:02] apatheticsheep: ok. thnx [02:02] how do you add an image in a thumbnail format on the forums? [02:02] hi all. does anyone know the command to install only the dependencies for a package, but not the package? [02:02] !ot | bahaa [02:02] anyone here running ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop? [02:02] bahaa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:03] I'm extremely new to linux and ubuntu.. I installed a vm of ubuntu server, and.. dang.. console. =/ [02:03] Mfrogg: it's all about CLI :D [02:03] freaky[t]: tried apt-get build-dep ? [02:03] Flare-Laptop: ok let me put this way how can I chose the IRC server in xchat-gnome??? [02:03] BlubbTec ahh thanks :D [02:04] bahaa [02:04] msg [02:04] Then I read the forums...boy that's a heated topic.. so I was hoping to just make an easy fileserver with a Ubuntu Desktop.. of all the times i've tried to learn nix cli, it's a pain to remember everything.l [02:04] ninjai [02:04] u here [02:04] dos? no problem.. nix? apt what? [02:04] freaky[t]: sure, though i've never used it, so no idea if it works :P [02:04] daftykins: my router is listed there, do i have to download the application? if so, i have to open it with wine, right? [02:04] ok, seems noone has a laptop on ubuntu here... [02:05] BlubbTec it works thank you ^^ [02:05] cedriczg: don't seem to be able to pass mysql opts to this script like that. or atleast not in that order. [02:05] cedriczg - i'm running it on a dell laptop, inspiron 9300, in a VM. [02:05] i've run it before on this without a VM though, and a gateway [02:05] freaky[t]: right, np then ;) [02:05] moszer: no no, just find the settings and follow the guide [02:06] Is there a way to change the beginning location of a partition? I want to move the start of my / partition to sector 128 so that it aligns...I have an SSD drive. [02:06] apatheticsheep: those options work at least for the mysql command try to run "man setup-mysql" to see the options then [02:06] I was not given the option of where to start the partition when I installed. [02:07] daftykins: I'm working on getting that image working. If I just download the .iso, can I put it on a flash drive with Mac? [02:07] apatheticsheep: or maybe that script does not have man pages... [02:07] neezer: since when do SSDs need strict alignment 0o [02:08] daftykins, I've read that it can cause lots of write latency due to write amplification.... [02:08] Mfrogg: Are you running on batteries now? I want to check if you see the time remaining for your laptop batteries [02:08] to use linux server do you need to have only linux OS? [02:08] Eri_: hmm i don't know of any way to put an ISO on a flash drive with a mac [02:08] am trying to learn servers [02:08] advisable to use SynPM to get Samba installed? [02:08] daftykins, I've just read that it helps and would like to try, I just don't know why it didn't give me the option when I installed. [02:08] cedriczg - no, but one moment, I will be. :) [02:08] neezer: technically no ubuntu version right now supports TRIM anyway so it's all a bit meh [02:08] Mfrogg: thanks :) [02:09] neezer: well, ubuntu's designed to be easy to use. you need to partition in a lot more advanced way to achieve that [02:09] I need to set up a remote access server that relies on a client with web browser with only flash installed, any ideas, vnc relies on java on the client [02:09] But I can do it with Vista, right? [02:09] what's Samba 4? over Samba? and what's the little ubuntu symbol mean in SynPM? [02:10] Anyone tried running ubuntu on an hp touchsmart tm2 yet? [02:11] highly doubt it would work [02:11] well.. it supposedly "works" just questionable how well [02:11] am trying to learn servers [02:12] Mfrogg: samba is an open source implementation of SMB, server message block, the windows file and printer sharing service / comms method [02:12] to use linux server do you need to have only pc with linux OS? [02:12] http://www.murraytwins.com/blog/?p=65 [02:12] so I should apt-get that, and not Samba4? [02:12] masu3701: just run it in a virtual machine if you want to learn it [02:13] someone has put thought into it, the hp touch....... [02:13] Mfrogg: top tip: type "apt-cache search x" where x is something to search for, e.g. "apt-cache search samba" then the list that results will tell you package names to try. so then it may say "samba" is one, so you can run "sudo apt-get install samba" [02:13] oh well.. [02:13] daftykins: i have a pc i dont use...i am gonna install it on it and try it [02:13] heheh [02:14] masu just boot from a live cd [02:14] masu3701: ah ok :) sorry i'm not sure what you meant with your question then [02:15] cedriczg - i can't find the battery option for panel.. [02:16] Mfrogg: So if you hover the mouse ver the battery icon on the panel you just see the percentage reamining? [02:16] good evening [02:16] hi everyone, need recomendations on what to run o a file server for sharing and backing up data. I also need authentication and maybe on the fly encription?! [02:16] cedriczg - found the battery, put it on my panel - hovering is not resulting in anything. [02:16] how do i force my amd processor to run at full rated freq all the time by command prompt? (the panel app doesnt always do what its told) [02:17] clients will be Winblows OSs [02:17] Mfrogg: ok, thanks for trying it [02:17] bigtom21485: why would you want to waste power like that? [02:17] cedriczg- yeah hovering isn't doing anything. I'll try it later on a fresh disk - maybe the VM is hiding results? [02:18] daftykins: when im running battery, if i set the panel app to 2GHz userapp, it wont go above 1GHz [02:18] *2GHz userspace === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:18] bigtom21485: it is not important... [02:18] it is [02:18] dog walking - brb [02:18] hi everyone, need recomendations on what to run o a file server for sharing and backing up data. I also need authentication and maybe on the fly encription?! [02:18] clients will be Winblows OSs [02:19] giiker: samaba [02:19] Mfrogg: I see. Maybe VM does not do the work right. [02:19] ok [02:20] entify madmax [02:20] tsyj2007: does samba have authentication? [02:21] tsyj2007: how do i control it manually with terminal commands...i want to learn how to run linux without the gui, like its intended [02:21] giiker: I just know it can share files with windows...you can google it [02:22] tsyj2007: oh ok [02:22] samba in cli is tough. [02:22] giiker: just google it .you can obtain the answer === kellyh_ is now known as kellyh [02:23] does anyone know were i can get some help with ettercap? [02:23] giiker:A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX [02:23] lavin: are you being naughty? [02:24] tsyj2007: I had already heard about samba years ago, and its capabilities, but I dont trust it [02:24] not really jound with my iphone trying to get remote browser to follow on bt4ust playin ar [02:24] all mixed up [02:25] Anyone else have the problem in FF 3.6 of every word you type being mispelled (the red underline) even if it is spelled correctly?

I also need authentication and maybe on the fly encription?! [02:28] giiker: SAMBA works great. you don't want to be running a file server as a VM though... [02:28] clients will be Winblows OSs [02:28] lavin: So are you having trouble with X and ettercap? [02:28] whats x [02:28] daftykins: are you there? [02:29] moszer: yep [02:29] daftykins: I was thinking on dl Ubuntu server and install samba there and see how it feels [02:29] lavin: nvm. The terminal output you can ignore if you ran etter from the terminal [02:29] daftykins: i love u, thanks [02:29] giiker: yeah i did just that for a new server recently. i get 115MB/sec over gigabit LAN so all works well :D [02:29] moszer: transmission all happy now? :D [02:30] why does cups always break after updates? ugh [02:30] daftykins: yes i am, thank youuuuuuuuu very much [02:30] ThomasG33K, just ettercap it's something to do with the brwser cause webspy says same sort of error [02:30] moszer: :D my pleasure :) thanks for the feedback [02:30] daftykins: wow 115 MBps. I also need to secure the connection to Smaba, what if someone starts sniffing traffic on the LAN? [02:31] hi all i got an Acer Emachine E725 and i'm running ubuntu 9.10 , i have a problem wifi card it's nor recognised by the system, i look in forums but nothing seems to help [02:31] ThomasG33K, i saw that on google i tried to update it but the command would not work [02:31] lavin: Sadly I have no experience with webspy or whatever and havent touched etter in awhile so maybe ask someone else or join backtrack's irc channel maybe [02:31] any one have idea about that!? [02:31] daftykins: this friend has confidential data, it needs to be secured when it is stored or transmited [02:32] giiker: you can set samba to be locked down on a per-IP basis, so you could set all the PCs to be statically addressed then permit only the right ones. also then have user+pass on top [02:32] giiker: that's not really going to happen with samba. or windows clients ;) === hexdump is now known as Solid_Snake === Solid_Snake is now known as hexdump_ [02:33] daftykins: ive got another one, been searching for help for a while, its pcsx2, i have downloaded and i am trying to install it, are you using it? [02:33] daftykins: with a sniffer bad haxor can scope the LAN and impersonate the real owner IP, is the authentication secured? [02:33] ThomasG33K, were do i find the bt channel what network sever is it on? [02:33] Im looking for a linux alternative to netscan. Anybody got any ideas (Ive thought of creating a bash script that loops pings, but I don't know enough of bash). [02:33] moszer: no idea what that is i'm afraid [02:34] knoppies: nmap? [02:34] giiker: yes encrypted password storage [02:34] daftykins: just found the wiki for samba, uggghh, to much to read [02:34] daftkins: no worries, thanks again [02:34] moszer: no problem :D [02:34] daftykins: I meant, is the authentication process encrypted or on the clear? [02:35] knoppies, could uyou use nmap ?

Did you install any backup app? or just using rsync and old school tools only? [02:37] knoppies: once installed, to scan a subnet, do for example "sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254" which would scan for PCs on every IP between 0.1 and 0.254 [02:37] hi all i got an Acer Emachine E725 and i'm running ubuntu 9.10 , i have a problem wifi card it's nor recognised by the system, i look in forums but nothing seems to help [02:37] masu3701: you have to create your root partition [02:37] thanks daftykins. That sounds like what Im looking for. [02:37] knoppies, it's got a easy gui if you download zenmap [02:37] please help [02:38] ThomasG33K, thanxs i will need it [02:38] giiker: the box i built has a 12TB RAID6 array, so backup isn't really so important yet. i'll need to look into something though to make use of USB external HDDs to backup to [02:38] i just fresh installed 9.10, and it's telling me I should install Firefox and Firefox 3.5? [02:38] giiker: how big should it be? i have a 40 gb hd [02:38] giiker: i'll probably learn to use rsync/zsync [02:38] lavin, I will have a look at that. thanks again.

[02:49] Sorry DaftyKins, i have been trying to get them active its been a pain. [02:49] daftykins, is there another way? [02:49] Red_HansterX just in a normal .sh file?

[02:52] knoppies, it's a NetBIOS name and microsoft folk like to call it a hostname [02:52] UbuntuBoy, I have to ask the same question as Arsaine: are you sharing thiese HDDs with Windows?

[02:53] jub369- unless you want to edit the mbr and such, it's easier to wipe and reinstall windows - it'll put the hdd the way it wants it.

[02:56] jub369, is there anything wrong with your start-up cd or your bios [02:56] jub369: you REALLY need to upgrade to SP3 [02:56] Kyppcgeek i doing this long enough to put in mac in my pc [02:56] well the error means it can find some X app on that display [02:56] lavin: well the error means it can find some X app on that display [02:56] thanks unop, lavin, ThomasG33K. [02:57] mfrogg so when it says press F6 i press F6 or wat [02:57] acovrig, when you say " run user2 inside user1", what do you mean ? [02:57] lavin: whenever I try to run my firefox on the remote machine from my terminal, I used to get this same error [02:57] shutdown: time expected is what i get but if i do "shutdown now" it just reboots [02:57] Red_HamsterX: I have a dual-boot Windows XP Media & Ubuntu 9.04, and these hard drives are accessible via Windows (one has the Windows OS on it). So if that's what you mean by sharing then yes they are shared. [02:58] If it gets to that, and you don't have a sata drive needing raid drivers, then it should ask you which hdd to install to. You have to delete the partitions and then create a partition in the space. [02:58] UbuntuBoy, are they both NTFS? [02:58] lavin: have u tried to check for magic cookies yet? [02:58] forcekmf, you might want to explicitly 'halt' the machine after shutdown then. shutdown -h now [02:58] giiker, @ x- app@ ThomasG33K mentionend that i don't know what it is let me investigate, how did you solve it [02:58] unop, the equivalent of switch users, only keep user1 running, and open something to run user2, close that something (xterm maybe) and user2 gets forced logged out, per say [02:58] well let me try agagin Mfrogg and i rember what the error says so i can paste it iin paste bin for ya [02:58] lavin: have u tried to check for magic cookies yet? [02:58] giiker never heard of them, i'm new to all this you see [02:59] jub369 - ok [02:59] Pretty nice media server tutorial: http://www.cognitivecombine.com/2009/12/diy-ubuntu-nas-with-afp-smb-dlna-and-itunes/ [02:59] Red_hamsterX It didn't work with the sleep [02:59] Red_HamsterX: Yes, both are NTFS 5 I believe. [02:59] even using "recovery mode", I can't remount root as read-only because it's "in use" [02:59] lavin: do you have acess to the remote box first? [02:59] tm0, what was the problem? === jimtuv_ is now known as Roger_The_Shrubb [02:59] giiker, do you mean if it's got cookies blocked then it will not open new tabs? === administrator is now known as Guest88193 === Roger_The_Shrubb is now known as Roger_Shrubber [03:00] acovrig, well, there's sudo that can do this. sudo -u user2 xterm . or you can use something like the gdmflexiserver or gdmXnest which either setup a new display or embed one in an already running display. [03:00] Conky needs to start 20 seconds after boot, and you told me to make a SH with this "sleep 20; conky" [03:00] UbuntuBoy, that may be the reason for the inaccessibility, then. Microsoft has a long history of not wanting to let anyone else play with its NTFS content. Google may be a better source for answers. [03:00] lavin: not cookies for the browser, this is another kind of cookies that X uses === Vampire__ is now known as Vampire [03:00] giiker, yes but it's a iphone, i got laptop , ps3 n iphone ps3 not on thow just playing around [03:00] tm0, I meant, why is it failing?

[03:03] unop, run as user1, or sudo -u user2 gdmflexiserver -n [03:03] giiker, it's got a 0 before lots of num. [03:04] tm0, are you using Gnome? (The Ubuntu default) [03:04] acovrig, you don't need sudo to run gdmflexiserver. just run it as you would with any other command. [03:04] giiker, http://pastebin.com/FsbSu2LY [03:04] UbuntuBoy, they should be automatically given appropriate permissions when Ubuntu detects them on start-up, but, again, I don't know for sure. [03:04] Red_HamsterX Yes i am using Gnome. I have not updated to the newest version, released (today?). [03:04] lavin: going to see it [03:04] tm0, why do you need a 20-second delay? [03:05] On startup i will see it, but once my background shows up, it hides. [03:05] is anyone else having a problem with apache running wild out of control? [03:05] Red_HamsterX On startup i will see it, but once my background shows up, it hides.

[03:49] hmm [03:49] has anybody used remobo? this looks like a good hamachi alternative? [03:50] Ok, hey, here's what I did. I used to have two IDE hard drives, one crappy one, and one new one that was the "slave." It was starting to make noises and signs it was failing, so I opened up the case and unplugged the powerchord, without changing the Data ribbon. Now grub has an error because it can't find the first hard disk. I'm booted into the live cd now. Can I install grub2 on the "slave" hard drive from the live cd? Or do I have to open the [03:50] case back up and make the remaining hard disk the "master?" I'm not very experienced with hardware, as you can probably tell! Thanks [03:50] Ivanlul, well I gotta go eat dinner, so as far as I can tell it's working, but if you need more help i'm sure someone here (thats running ubuntu :p) could help [03:50] Semitones: I hope you have some good backups!

[03:51] whats the comand to extract a large group of files into my /www/ file [03:51] bobpaul, great :D [03:51] My second question was going to be, "ok, now how do I go about installing grub2" [03:51] semitones that was pretty stupid to unplug without turning off the computer... were you using grub or grub2 before? I'll try and find a tutorial for you [03:52] does this sound right, since my big screen's size is 1920x1080 and my laptop is 1024x768 and its to the left not above or below the (xdim,ydim) of the virtual screen would be 1920x1848 [03:52] bobpaul, no, I unplugged the computer, did the change, and plugged it back in. I was using grub before, but I'd like to install grub 2 if possible [03:52] well, I'd go with grub for the time being. you can always switch to grub2 later [03:53] so can anybody recommend a good hamachi alternative? [03:54] semitones: linux was on the slave, right? or were they mirror'd? [03:54] I mean.. your root partition [03:54] bobpaul, my root partition was on the slave, but Grub was installed to the MBR of the master. I think. [03:54] * DR_Fun1 whats the comand to extract a large group of files into my /www/ file [03:55] lavin: have to go, sorry [03:56] ggi thanks all the same tek care [03:56] giiker, t c [03:56] i'm dl BT4 now, so it willl take a while, but i will come back in 15 or so, if you are still here [03:56] DR_Fun1 in the terminal?

That's a common setup. Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ... if you want to play with grub2, I would recommend leaving grub on the mbr, but installing grub2 to a partition (eg, /dev/sda1). Then you can use chainload +1 in grub to boot grub2. This lets you still boot without a livecd if you screw up grub2 [03:58] i want to extrat a file 2 my www file [03:58] anyone have a good knowledge of xorg and xrandr?

Sounds like you are on the right track. I suggest googlin' around for more specific info. Unfortunately, you may have to "tinker" with that printer to really get it going. Is it for forms, two part docs? [03:59] DR_Fun1 the file name or what is in the file? [03:59] its for carbon copies [04:00] its coo [04:00] Karth: What kind of printer is it? [04:00] Greez: an Epson RX-80 [04:00] Greez: kinda rare nowadays [04:01] Karth: I was hoping you'd say Okidata, yeah... [04:01] semitones: here's instructions to upgrade to grub2 after you got grub working again: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:01] DR_Fun1 if its a list of file names within a file do: cat "file" >> /www/ file [04:01] I've a .bz file for libgcrypt [04:01] But if I install it by hand.. without using Apt will it break anything? [04:01] Greez: have an epson LQ-850 too, but for whatever reason ubuntu makes the heads fire so hard it pokes holes in the paper :/ [04:02] Or have two differnet version of libgcrypt installed? [04:02] DR_Fun1 the >> is a redirect append to the bottom fo a file [04:02] of [04:03] Anyone? :P [04:03] Greez: that one worked fine in ubuntu 6, compatability with the things seems to be going down [04:03] Slyboots: is there a PPA for it? [04:03] Dont know.. dont think so [04:04] thank you so much bobpaul [04:05] Slyboots: do you have the source for the software that needs it or is it pre-compiled? [04:05] Its on launchpad.. but doesnt seem like there is a PPA [04:05] Got the sourvce [04:05] But the system hsa a earlier version installed, and removing it will break a LOT of stuff [04:05] Slyboots: I would suggest making sure that, when you install it, that it goes to /usr/local or /opt instead of /usr [04:06] well it should go into /local by default.. [04:06] there is no /local [04:06] /usr/local I mean [04:06] yeah [04:06] Karth: See what happens when you type "lpr -o raw" (minus quotes) in a terminal...

[04:21] Greez: canceling the job for whatever reason didn't do anything [04:22] danijel, just look if there is gparted installed and after that, start it [04:22] Help, I'm having trouble with ffmpeg, can't convert .flv to .mp4 [04:22] Anyone use Gnome Epiphany? I keep getting my mouse locked up so I cannot click on anything -- any idea what causes this problem with Ubuntu 9.10 ? [04:22] dock on top vs. bottom of the screen...which is best and why?

[04:34] danijel, just open your mind... look at the gui and on left top you will be able to select another disk... [04:34] Guest86902, have you considered handbrake [04:34] Alcor: (ps aux | awk '{ print $8 " " $2 }' | grep -w Z) find a Zombie, or so says whoever wrote it. [04:35] handbrake makes them into .m4v instead of .mp4, I just tried it. [04:35] thx [04:35] Guest86902, no handbrake can make them into mp4, works fine here [04:35] hi [04:35] I'm looking for sistpoty [04:35] anyone know what channel I could find him in? [04:36] Is there a way to hook a Ubuntu to output an HDMI signal that will work on an HDCP TV? [04:36] alastairp, no idea, try /wii sistpoty [04:36] greez thx - i added that to my notes [04:36] alastairp, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu though [04:36] bazhang: nah, looks like his channels are masked [04:36] how to use gparted [04:36] greezmunkey: now that the thing is stopped, any suggestions on speeding it up? [04:37] Karth: did you try the "lpr -o raw" command, and then a short text print? [04:37] danijel, you have a livecd? ubuntu or gparted livecd? [04:37] greezmunkey: I couldn't enter the command cause LPT was busy, lemme do that now [04:37] lol [04:37] ffmpeg gives me this error message "Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1" [04:37] i just want to acess my disk [04:37] Karth: it may also be useful to have that CUPS web page available so you can track the process [04:37] i can it with gnome [04:38] but with xfce i cant [04:38] danijel, care to answer my question?

Alcor is right I think, about digging into /etc/printcap.

[05:18] hi, could you please tell me how to set individual monitor rezolution? using envyng and one monitor has a proper rezolution but the other one is set to 800x600 and can't find where to set it to something else...thanks [05:18] bazhang, np - cheers anyway [05:19] hey i need to ask some port forwarding questions [05:19] here's a question and I hope you can help. I have an itunes directory on a windows drive. It has mp3 files in it. When I start Rhythmbox I get nothing. I ask to open a folder (has a group name on it) and nothing happens. Can you give me any advice since I'd like to play these tunes? [05:19] paul3333, envyng should always be the very last option; what video card maker [05:19] greezmunkey: gonna switch to text only driver, see if it helps [05:19] it's an ati 9550 [05:20] how do I play the entire contents of a folder using CVLC, VLC, MPlayer or Totem in terminal without adding each file path manually? If I want to play 2 files in a row, I usually add teh full path to each. Is there a quicker way to do this, and play ALL files in the folder with one command? [05:20] paul3333, and hardware drivers has nothing for it? [05:20] bazhang, sucks man i got a Apple Ipod Classic (6th Generation), rockbox wont work :( [05:21] bazhang it does but no control panel or such if I use them to enable dual monitors, they just sit on clone [05:21] Karth: another way to access cups is through firefox.. http://localhost:631 from there you can restart cups, add printers, and generally set defaults up the way you want. [05:21] StopSign: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [05:21] Karth: what the heck, that may do it. [05:21] bazhang, thanks man [05:21] hey I could use some suggestions about port forwarding [05:21] bazhange isn't there any file I can just go to and edit to change rezolutions for them? [05:22] greezmunkey: the text only driver errors out [05:22] use xrandr to change resolutions [05:22] britany_okla, on your router? portforward.com [05:22] Scunizi good to know I can restart cups in there [05:22] can I msg bazhang [05:22] britany_okla, sure [05:23] I'm getting a modprobe: FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/... error on a fresh build of a kernel and the dir is there - something missing in mkinitrd maybe? [05:23] eremite while using envyng? [05:23] hi any1 know where to get a free pgp key for gnuGPG ? [05:24] sorry, misunderstood your problem paul3333 [05:24] its not letting me msg bazhang but my router is not on the list [05:24] Karth: /etc/init.d/cups restart I think is superceeded by sudo service cups restart [05:24] eremite: so any idea? [05:24] britany_okla, let us go to #ubuntu-offtopic please as this is not ubuntu support [05:24] hi [05:25] anyone know how to change the login screen in ubuntu 9.10 [05:25] scunizi: its ok, the command entered fine [05:25] No, that isnt in my tool box of knowledge. [05:25] @ paul3333 ^ [05:25] scunizi: I'll keep that in mind though [05:25] it was easy in 9.04 but the option is not is 9.10\ [05:25] Brkk: Use the menus. System -> Administration -> Login Screen [05:26] eremite come again? i don't understand [05:26] What will happen if I uninstall gdm and install xdm on ubuntu 9.10? [05:26] hi all, any preferences on remote control to get for xbmc on nix (ubuntu specifically) [05:26] yes doesent give me options to change it [05:26] lat: you will have xdm and not gdm. Its harder to configure unless you know how to navigate the coding. I use xdm on slow machines. [05:27] paul3333: I cant help you, I dont have knowledge in that department. Understand [05:27] ? [05:27] hi any1 know where to get a free pgp key for gnuGPG ? [05:27] eremite yea alright [05:28] !pgp | lv_ [05:28] lv_: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [05:28] Karth: try this, see what happens: cat /etc/fstab|/dev/lp0 [05:28] bazhang, ahhh, fuck it - I'll build it from source... anyone know how to make debs? [05:29] eremite, for some reason gdm no longer shows my stumpwm windows manager. Any idea what might be the problem? [05:29] !compile | lat [05:29] lat: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:29] I'm getting a modprobe: FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/... error on a fresh build of a kernel and the dir is there - something missing in mkinitrd maybe? [05:29] madPJKfan, watch the cursing please [05:29] !packaging > madPJKfan [05:29] madPJKfan, please see my private message [05:30] bazhang, thanks man works good [05:30] cheers! [05:30] greezmunkey: permission denied [05:30] login window is gone from 9.10 why..how can i change my login screen name [05:30] Karth: sudo it [05:30] greezmunkey: I did [05:30] lat: that is an odd problem. You can replace the window manager by typing stumpwm --replace I think. Then you might want to edit your GDM file and see if the entry for stumpwm is still there. I have never used stumpwm before, but I shouildnt be too different fom other WMs\ === ogen is now known as purplebluesilver [05:31] Karth: hmm [05:32] can anyone help me set individual monitor rezolutions on envyng running big desktop? [05:33] paul3333: xrandr should work I think. [05:33] eremite how exactly? [05:33] paul3333: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [05:35] I dont have a command -- $ xrandr "command not found. [05:37] Nice to see the ubuntu channel this quiet on beautiful Friday nights. [05:37] Can I play one of the mp3 files in an itunes folder on a windows partition using SoundRecorder? Didn't seem to work and wonder what I could have been doing wrong. [05:37] saturday afternoon here [05:37] hehe [05:37] Scunizi, thanks. I'm reading that document now. [05:37] Karth: The only other thing I found out there was to set the printer up as an IBM ProPrinter. That seems to have fixed a few peoples issues... [05:37] purplebluesilver: just type xrandr without $ [05:37] greezmunkey: ok, can't hurt [05:38] but the web page showed it that way eremite. How was I to know? (Sometimes I just hate being so new.) [05:39] eremite, thanks. I'll check the gdm file. [05:39] greezmunkey: same speed [05:39] ah yes. I see now. That meant after the prompt. (wonders how the prompt went from > (in my mind) to $ (in the terminal). [05:39] purplebluesilver: when you see a $ that just represents the beginning of a new line of commands. [05:39] Scunizi: if "sudu cat /etc/fstab | /dev/lp0 fails permission denied, would adding your user to the lp group help, at least temporarily for testing? [05:39] purplebluesilver: you have a ~$ at the end of yoru terminal anme, correct? That is the exact same thing [05:39] sudo [05:39] so it seems. and so it seems that I am at my max on this termina. SADLY! [05:40] * purplebluesilver is thinking of watching the second episode of "V". Have fun guys. [05:40] Rock on dude [05:40] Thank You. [05:41] i need to load a modmap at login... what's the best way of doing this? [05:42] Karth: well I hate to admit defeat, but I am. I can't suggest anything else to try. Perhaps someone else here can help. Good luck. [05:43] greezmunkey: well thanks for the effort, If I set up a win98 machine will samba connect to it? [05:44] Karth: Yes, I have a smb connected printer, works fine. [05:44] greezmunkey: I ask as I know ubuntu doesn't seem able to access my win98 shared files, connects to xp fine [05:45] anyone know how to load xmodmap files at login? [05:45] Karth: I don't know why it wouldn't unless you're not running Netbios/tcpip. [05:46] Karth: on the W98 box that is. [05:47] greezmunkey: dunno, all I know is I can't seem to connect to the 98 shares with anything newer than xp, anyhow, I'll deal with that thanks for the help. [05:48] Karth: cool, 'g-night [05:48] hello i tried to install software and i extract the file then type ./configure but give me bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [05:48] greezmunkey: its probrably the age of the 98 protocols and the fact they are 16/32 bit and not pure 32, gnight [05:49] hi [05:49] any body can help [05:49] strange thing, i am trying to sudo aptitude install nscd and it tells me The following packages will be REMOVED: antlr{u} fastjar{u} gcj-4.2-base{u} libantlr-java{u} libgcj-common{u} libnspr4-dev{u} libnss3-dev{u} [05:50] any ideas?

Would anyone who remembers how to recover Grub doublecheck its accuracy? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#For Grub Legacy [05:54] make install [05:54] zenta: first "make", then "make install" [05:54] zenta: when make is done [05:56] i type first ./configure gave me bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [05:56] If Ubuntu crashes, is there a good place to look for information on why ? [05:56] Like log files, etc ?

[05:59] because now i tried yum install make [05:59] Is that your only option? You have no other OS you could use for this?

[06:41] jdforsythe: what filesytem? if ext2/3/4 you need to chown/chmod the mountpoint after its mounted.. or chmod/chown dirs on the FS. for the user to have full rights to it [06:41] ext-4 [06:41] jdforsythe: nope [06:41] aha! right! forgot about chown [06:42] jdforsythe: i always make a subdir on my 'data' filesystems - one for each user. and chown/chmod that dir for them [06:42] zenta: Where binary file name is the name of the game file, and enter the name as "HAcker's Evolution" [06:42] i was searching the man page for chmod and couldn't find how to change the owner! duh [06:42] I am installing the game now.. thanks a lot mates [06:42] I wonder if there's a way to get a simple connect to external monitor hotkey (without fn+f4) [06:43] ty all... now i feel like such an idiot... lol [06:43] signing off [06:43] exit [06:43] zenta: And you can start the game by double-clicking the launcher [06:43] i'm moving from windows 7 over to ubuntu, loving it! but the windows+p was a pretty convenient shortcut [06:43] i am trying now to do it [06:44] nyxtom: You can make your own keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu in System-Preferences-Keyboard Shotrcuts [06:44] I have to wonder how often a day you use the external moniotor shortcuts.. [06:45] nyxtom: depending on the card/video you could set up some xrandr commands to do changes also via a keypress [06:45] well i do it every day morning and night at least [06:45] since i have a laptop i like to code away from the monitors before i go to sleep [06:46] i'll have to look at the xrandr commands [06:46] nyxtom: on my netbook - oddly enough. If i plyg in a external montoir - it defaults to that [06:46] yea just go to system / prefs / keyboard shortcuts and set whatever you wish [06:46] nyxtom: i set it up once.. and not had to ever yse theose shortcuts again [06:46] oh nice [06:46] nyxtom: I do recall having to have the monitor plkugged in BEFOR i power up however. [06:47] How do I tell Ubuntu to connect to internet when booted up without the necessity to log in? Is that possible? [06:47] totle: you mean via 'wireless' netwroking? [06:47] totle: and yes its possible.. i just dont recall the best way [06:47] Dr_Willis, exactly. [06:48] wired would allready be doing that. :) [06:48] Dr_Willis, that's right. I forgot to mention that. [06:48] totle: Check https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/connect-to-internet.html [06:48] totle: There is a procedure mentioned [06:49] rocket16, thanks, I found some stuff myself too. [06:49] sorry in command box enter sh -c only ,or all the directory ? [06:49] lol, feisty docs? [06:50] totle: You should be able to just check the box for "Make available to all users" in network-manager and be done with it. [06:50] i m having problem with my wireless bcm card on backtrak ubuntu [06:50] can any 1 help me [06:51] does seveas still work here?

[06:58] DarqWolff: But most likely irc://irc.foonetic.net/xkcd is the best place for support ;) [06:59] I know, I frequent there, they are a shade more helpful than /b/ :P [07:01] have an indepth ? about ubuntu and grub. can someone help [07:02] ug|xdcc13: What is your question, specifically? [07:02] DarqWolff: xD [07:03] i have ubuntu loaded to a thumb drive, and i am getting the grub 17 error after working for 6+ months... [07:03] my friend says redhat cannot be install redhat on SATA HDD, is this true? sorry for nontopic, [07:03] How do you get to the mysql prompt? [07:03] What command? [07:03] also include ; " or removed ? [07:04] DarqWolff, $mysql [07:04] zenta: Yes, include ; there, [07:04] don't care about reformatting drive, but want info off first... tried CD to boot up, but it wont read my TD [07:05] zenta: exatcly what I write there, since ; distinguishes the two commands [07:05] DarqWolff, $mysql -p if there is a password for the root user [07:05] ug|xdcc13: What happens when you try to mount the partition? [07:05] I've just got a new laptop and installed karmic; I'm a bit new to running ubuntu graphically though, and the display manager hasn't detected my monitor resolutions [07:05] There is, I know about -p [07:05] Hmm... [07:05] •arand• tells me not formatted [07:06] •arand• that is through windows and ubuntu 9.10 (or is it 9.1?) [07:07] And I'm not sure what to do to get it working in my native resolution; I've searched it a bit and it looks like I need to change my Xorg config [07:07] is this true? [07:07] I need to get this document to be able to make sense with MySQL, where db_anything here means the stuff that has to do with the MySQL database: http://pastebin.com/HMetiBck [07:07] guys, just installed postfix on ubuntu 9, but i'm unable to send out emails ... getting timeout when sending to gmail for example, there is no firewall rule, also changed the default port to 2500 just to verify.. no luck either, any idea? [07:07] I'm a MySQL noob [07:08] And semi-linux-noob, I don't know much more than the average linux noob [07:08] But I do know some [07:08] ug|xdcc13: In windows it's understandable since it can't read the ext filesystem, but does that happen on the 9.10 liveCD as well? [07:08] I'm brand new to linux [07:08] •arand• yes [07:08] So how would I edit the text at the above link and what mysql commands would I have to run to make it work? [07:09] i know when the TD was first set up it was from a CD on a computer with the HDD removed. [07:09] hi, how to use dd to format a usbdisk? [07:10] ohhhhhhhhh great its work now at first i thought its not included " haha [07:11] hello, I know this sounds stupid, but, can someone walk me through the steps of restoring Grub to the MBR? I get stuck on a certain part [07:11] ug|xdcc13: What do you mean by TD by the way? [07:12] ubuntuguy: Are you booted into a liveCD now? [07:12] •arand• thumb drive... [07:12] I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:12] arand: yes === uRock is now known as Ronald_McDonald [07:12] •arand• I know it is not a space issue as it is a 16GB. [07:12] hi all i'm using the git version of radeon driver ,my card is radeon hd 3650,when i startx with radeon driver i get a black screen and nothing else,startx works well with vesa driver,xorg.xonf : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/197026/ ,xorg.log : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/197025/ ,any ideas ? [07:12] :( === Ronald_McDonald is now known as uRock [07:14] Okay I was messing around with /usr/share/icons/ and I have a question. Is there supposed to be a humanity and a Humanity directory? I don't think there was two before. [07:15] ug|xdcc13: Ah, right... Hm, I have had thumbdrives fail miseraly on me before, and I've yet to find anything that recovered the proper state of it... What I have been able to do though is to use photorec to recover stuff into a (disorganised) heap of files in a directory, it might be better than nothing. [07:15] mouse: I have Humanity and Humanity-Dark dirs in /usr/share/icons [07:15] arand: my root directory is /dev/sda1, but I don't know what hd(x,x) it is [07:15] hello, any ideas of how to activate my wireless? [07:16] ubuntuguy: Ok, so first, are you using karmic, jaunty, or a karmic upgraded from jaunty? [07:16] ubuntuguy: karmic being 9.10, jaunty 9.04 [07:16] karmic [07:16] ardchoille: I have the Humanity-Dark too but what I'm talking about is two humanities. One with a capital H and a lowercase h. Is this supposed to be like this? [07:16] •arand• ok... still a noob so I need a bit more about photorec... program? if so, for what os? [07:16] zenta: My pleasure, :) [07:17] arand: lucid fresh install, (but seeing as this is a grub2 problem, I think asking for support here should be ok) [07:17] oh [07:17] denis, was it working before and now it stopped working or has it never worked before? [07:17] thank you and hope see u in next issues haha [07:17] it's not grub legacy :P I thought I had that installed for some reason [07:18] ug|xdcc13: available in ubuntu, from a liveCD, I think you'll have to activate the universe repositories in System>Administration>Software Sources. [07:18] mouse: nope, the opne with a lower h is probably made by you [07:18] the problem is with my laptop, it works in jaunty but now I had some problems and i decided to change for karmic [07:19] Hey #Ubuntu. How do i formate(clean) my ubuntu computer? [07:19] !formate [07:19] !clean [07:19] ug|xdcc13: and then simply "sudo aptitude install photorec" and then "sudo photorec" [07:19] ardchoille: Hmm I wonder how that happened. Thank you. [07:19] arand: what actually happened was I had two hard disks installed, and I removed the master because it was failing, leaving only the slave (which contained the root partition) [07:19] ubuntuguy: Let's jump into #ubuntu+1 since it's Lucid support ;) [07:20] arand: as you wish :) [07:21] •arand• ok. i'll try that in the a.m... thanks! [07:22] does anyone have a guide on how to turn on dual screens (not big desktop) on ubuntu 8.4 with ati graphic card? [07:23] why such an old version of ubuntu? [07:24] I'm trying to upgrade an old 7.04 server, but apt-get won't work (IP addresses are old?). Any ideas how to do an upgrade? [07:25] do a clean install? [07:25] anyone?

[07:27] win7 doesn't take up that much space [07:27] paul3333: or run them in a virtual machine like vbox? [07:28] captain-obvious: the reason I moved to ubuntu is because my machine is old and the most I can run on it is xp, and I got hacked a lot of times which is bad for business since I develop for a living :) [07:28] i see [07:29] some times my screen get's black [07:29] I'm using a laptop [07:29] is there any easy way to enable dual monitors? === cewe_moetz is now known as cewe_gokil [07:29] no idea [07:29] just the backgruond lights turn off [07:29] and every thing keep working [07:30] but with no light [07:30] what is wrong [07:30] ?

[07:50] hafidz: No, because KDE is just a Desktop Manager, and nothing else, [07:50] greetings [07:51] i won't rate lxde [07:51] it's a trap!

I have an older laptop ( gateway m-275 ) but the ram is at 1 gig ( upgraded ) and the video adapter is a 64 MB 3d integrated Intel G.P.U. more than enough to run the program.... could it be direct x emu [07:54] lation? [07:54] this is COD 1 original box set under WIN latest [07:54] thats wine latest sorry [07:55] hafidz: M pleasure, :) [07:55] hafidz: My pleasure, :) === noNick is now known as cleaverroot [07:56] if anyone is familiar with a gamers chan please feel free to point da way [07:57] happy easter to all [07:57] is anyone familiar with how to "install" direct x to ubuntu? [07:57] and happy easter mate :) [07:57] been one year to the DAY i got my new house [07:57] *yay* [07:57] is anybody else having problems with http://www.inkscapeforum.com/ ??? [07:58] mobius2, direct x is a windows program right [07:58] i do have prob too yellowroost [07:59] I did notice that the error report contained all sort of inaccuracies about my system specs, and also that it was loading "config0"....ominously [07:59] hafidz: htanks for confirming [07:59] it's a framework not a program [07:59] and yes its a windows only runtime plat though i think it's emulated with some* success by the OS movement [07:59] welcome yellow. seems like the server down [07:59] list [07:59] i get error 2 yellowroost924 [07:59] in open GL [08:00] mobius2, y do you need it ubuntu has far better things than direct x [08:00] mobius2, are you new to ubuntu [08:00] meowbuntu, I am attempting to install an older FPS game called Call of Duty ( original box set ) [08:01] i have gotten past disc swap [08:01] mobius2, get wine, and playonlinux that should do it (for free stuff anyway) [08:01] i have gotten to the veeery end of the whole deal but then there is some gross inaccuracies in my wine crash report when the stub occurs saying my hardware cannot run the program which I already knowis not the case [08:01] and no [08:01] ive run gentoo for 7 years [08:01] but i just got time off [08:02] mobius2, THIS IS UBUNTU RIGHT [08:02] preceisley [08:02] can you help me? [08:02] now have you got wine [08:02] meowbuntu, yes [08:02] have you got playonlinux [08:02] i always cheat and use my windows installs files for problematic games [08:03] i have crossover and cedega..... but i sure do not have "playonlinux" [08:03] ^ Dr_Willis you play them on windows??? [08:03] playonlinux is an addon for wine. [08:03] meowbuntu: ages ago id take games like that - install them on windows.. track down no-cd cracks and make up a 'fixed' version/installer that did it all for me. [08:04] most of them would then work very well in wine also [08:04] that is an Old old game however. :) [08:04] Dr_Willis, to run on linux [08:04] I imagine the wine app database has a lot of info on it. I wonder where my original cd's went to for it. [08:04] Dr_Willis, wine works best with old stuff [08:05] meowbuntu: wine works best with what the wine devs work to make it work with [08:05] Copy Protection on many old games - the biggest issue. [08:05] Dr_Willis, I had considered such a thing to get past my problems with the disc swap.... but the problems I am currently having appear to be due to a lack proper system specs.... I am assuming this is due to my lack of having the ( playonlinux) software [08:05] hello..anyone here know about processing? [08:05] For DOS Games, Dosemu and DosBox are nice, but few people like them, [08:05] mobius2: ive neverused PlayOnLinux - i tried it out once.. and dident really need it. So i cant really advice if its needed or not [08:05] i just download processing and extracted it [08:05] mobius2, well get playon linux then [08:05] but i can't run it [08:06] meowbuntu, am doing in real time [08:06] i can't run it in karmic [08:06] Hi all. Does anyone know how to create a multi boot usb pendrive with grub2 and iso bootables? [08:06] mobius2, if you can post the error it gives you may get more help. [08:06] i will post the error to pastebin [08:06] ugur: its doable.. theres guides out on it.. i got links to some at -> http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the grub2 tags [08:07] hi,can't find md5sum hash for 10.04 beta in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [08:07] ugur: its not too hard to do either. :) install grub2 to thependrive. make a grub.cfg that has the right entries.. copy over iso files. done. [08:07] I am using this guide: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-grub2-on-usb-from-ubuntu-linux/ [08:07] ugur: so whats the exact issue you are having then? [08:07] but i cant see grub menu at startup [08:07] only a blank screen [08:07] any idea where can i find it? [08:08] mobius2, also join #whinehq here on freenode they may be able to help [08:08] ugur: the thing is not booting from thependriv?or your grub.cfg is wrong thenn would bemy guess [08:09] Dr_Willis: I double checked the grub.cfg file. Any other guess? [08:09] ugur, ok y are you needing grub2 on usb [08:10] ugur: what did you use to make the grub.cfg? and what filesystem is thependrive? [08:10] File system is FAT32 [08:10] ugur, i hve 3 os on 1 usb atm never used grub 2 its not to suitable [08:10] ugur: ive bnever used the method that guide uses.. i use other methods. toi let me boot several differnt iso files. I would try a different guide [08:11] I installed grub with this command: sudo grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true --no-floppy --root-directory=/media/MULTI/ /dev/sdb1 [08:11] What octal dmask and fmask do I need on smbfs in fstab for owner=rwx group=rw others=none? [08:11] I have 5+ iso files on a pendrive all booting from grub2. works very well for me. [08:11] and downloaded grub.cfg from the link in the guide [08:11] can someone recomend the best image downloader .. downthemall and bulkimage ff extensions arnt working for me :(( [08:11] ugr you need to make grub in boot sector ont on partition. [08:11] ugur: you could of done a mistake in the directions and never put grub on thembr of the pendrive also. its hard to tell [08:11] meowbuntu, playonlinux is installed ( but not even looked at yet ) and the wine error report is at http://pastebin.com/DqWBBb5p [08:12] Dr_Willis: Can you recommend another guide that you have used ? [08:12] try /dev/sdb at end [08:12] ugur: see my delicious.com links i gave above [08:12] Ok thanks [08:12] meowbuntu, notice the bit near the top about the "config0" being used that sounds like my issue [08:13] mobius2, try running playon linux adn using it. check out there forums on tehre forums about things that si all i can do for you [08:13] meowbuntu, everything about my system in that profile is wrong except for the 1 gb of ram [08:13] ugur, please listen to this it may help. y do you need grub 2 on usb flashdrive.

[08:32] can it do the partitioning for me [08:32] nishanth: i tend to use perhaps 4 partitons tops. -> (windows) (linux) (linux HOME) (swap) all primary partitions [08:32] <^mNotIntelligent> Ne0N0va, any issue ? [08:32] Dr_Willis: The compute-janitor you were referring to before, is that the one in the menus by default? [08:32] mcurrington: yes.. it can really cause issues...

[08:33] yah i like this...much quicker then windows [08:33] mcurrington: the ubuntu-tweak tool has some clean the caches features also that i use a lot [08:33] formate (?) i want to install windows again... (ubuntu powns but im more like a gamer type and then windows is better) [08:33] I can't log into my main Ubuntu, and believe I have singled out the problem that is causing it. It's a program called pysdm. But, in order to uninstall it, I need to log into Ubuntu. I have a LiveCD session up on my computer right now. How can I uninstall the program from the LiveCD session? [08:33] Dr_Willis: Are you able to elaborate or is there more information somewhere else? I'm interested. [08:33] the browser wowo really quick impressed [08:33] theadmin : wats the linky? [08:33] how do i shrink an iso to fit on a standard dvd disc? its 5.7 and i need it to fit on a 4.7 [08:33] mcurrington: about what? ubuntu-tweak? it has its own homepage. [08:33] nishanth: Read this: http://ubuntutotalnoob.blogspot.com/2010/03/getting-dual-boot-with-windows.html - it should be pretty clear what to do [08:34] SSL dissection needs a valid 'redir_command_on' script in the etter.conf file [08:34] Privileges dropped to UID 65534 GID 65534... [08:34] is there like winrar program in ubuntu [08:34] robertzaccour: you could try k9copy - if its a video disk. [08:34] why? [08:34] !rar [08:34] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [08:34] How do i clean my computer (install windows again) [08:34] Wht11 [08:34] Dr_Willis: no, how the other one causes issues [08:34] nishanth: Yes, if you choose "install side by side" it will, you can choose how much space you want to take from the windows install for ubuntu. [08:34] theadmin:thanx [08:34] mcurrington: it can remove things you dont want removed.. and its suggestions are often just wrong. [08:34] how do i shrink an iso file? [08:34] <^mNotIntelligent> LincoN^, its takes some time to get used to ubuntu/linux... but once you get a hang of it...you become sort of addict to linux, because of the immense power at your hands... do anything you want just using the commad lines.. i would rather say.. give it one more chace.. and we are here to help you people out.. do let us know if you face any issues.. [08:34] mcurrington: its the sort of tool that should really not be included. in its present state [08:34] i have a 5.7 that i need to fit onto a 4.7 [08:34] arand it is the oter way around.. i have ubuntu....i want to assign space to windows [08:35] robertzaccour: and this is a movie iso file? [08:35] ^mNotIntelligent, the problem isnt ubuntu. it's that im more like a gamer... and ubuntu doesnt fit well for gamers :) [08:35] Dr_Willis: OK, maybe we should file a bug report about this? Or has this already been done? [08:35] Dr_Willis, no, its my shit its legit [08:35] robertzaccour, no cursing please [08:35] LincoN^: Why not a dual-boot then? [08:35] ok sorry [08:35] robertzaccour: so whats On the iso file then? if its 5+Gb of actual data. not a movie.. well its going to stay that big.. [08:35] <^mNotIntelligent> LincoN^, there are many other linux flavors tailormade for gamers.. why dont you try one of them ? [08:36] theadmin, i think i have to small drive [08:36] Methinks this ISO is of a dual-layered DVD. [08:36] Dr_Willis, its all together, can't separate it [08:36] ^mNotIntelligent, orly? [08:36] robertzaccour: if its 3000+ images and other files. you could mount the iso and copy the files to 2 different isos [08:36] are there any programs like iso shrinkers? [08:36] LincoN^: See the link i gave to nishanth above, http://ubuntutotalnoob.blogspot.com/2010/03/getting-dual-boot-with-windows.html [08:36] Dr_Willis, it has to stay together [08:36] robertzaccour: you could use the various archiver tools then I guess. [08:36] hi guys ... i tried ubuntu many times and every time i use it i get another problem concerning the compatibilty of windows programs , is this problem solved in the lates edition of ubuntu 9.10? [08:37] <^mNotIntelligent> LincoN^, I've not used them personally...but know there are many.. I guess someone here Like Pici or Dr_Willis can give you a better idea on that [08:37] robertzaccour: but thenit will be a 2 step thing to access the files. [08:37] is there any way to shrink an iso? [08:37] will dvd shrink work or is that just for movies? [08:37] robertzaccour: the fact its an iso dosent really seem to matter.. [08:37] theadmin, so it works with 80(74Gb) drive? [08:37] Nickfeld: This is not a problem. This is normal. Ubuntu should not, nor never will be, fully compatible with Windows. [08:37] robertzaccour: dvdshrink reencodeds video files.. you stated thats not what your data is. [08:37] !game [08:37] ubottu, game [08:38] !gaming [08:38] LincoN^, /msg ubottu games [08:38] nishanth: Is it for XP or later win? [08:38] Dr_Willis, oh ok, didn't know what other files it handled [08:38] LincoN^: I have 2 partitions there, 40 GB Windows, 39 GB Linux and 1GB linux-swap [08:38] <^mNotIntelligent> Ne0N0va, tell me what kinda problem you are facing with ur distro [08:38] is it possible that i could use parted to free some space instead of using a live CD? [08:38] arand: win7 [08:39] nishanth: You can't resize the disc from which the system is loaded, sorry. [08:39] theadmin, is it easy to fix partions? [08:39] yep i hate loading up virtualbox everytime just to add songs to my ipod 6th gen lol [08:39] <^mNotIntelligent> LincoN^, have a look here : live.linux-gamers.net [08:39] is there any way to change the size of an iso? [08:39] LincoN^: Depends on your skill. For me, it was simple. For others, might be hard [08:39] have problem to get ettercap work in backtrack 4 [08:40] Ne0N0va: see the backtrack channel [08:40] Ne0N0va, this is not bt4 support try their channel [08:40] My firefox crashes anytime I open a Java page. Someone said "Which JRE are you using and have you symlinked the plugin ? (it will crash if you copy the plugin because the plugin can't find the JRE)" What's my next step? How can I fix this? [08:40] Ne0N0va, #backtrack-linux [08:40] need to backup software, i backup everything i have [08:40] thanks [08:40] theadmin, skill on what? computers, linux, partions?

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! [08:42] nishanth: What I would do is boot a liveCD and use gparted to rezise the ubuntu partition towards the end of the disk (at this point ubuntu will no longer boot, it will be fixed later), then install w7 inot the free space at the beginning of the drive, and make sure it starts ok, then again boot a liveCD and reinstall grub for the ubuntu partition !grub or !grub2 has a guide. That should be it.. [08:42] LincoN^: You don't need to delete ANYTHING, GParted can resize without damaging the data! [08:42] Dr_Willis: hm, its only looking pretty if i dont maximise my irssi windows, with maximiezed windows its not looking nice :) [08:42] ẗheadmin, atm deleting isnt a problem :) just to be able to play somehow [08:43] ^mNotIntelligent, does it work with the latest games?

[08:44] <^mNotIntelligent> LincoN^, I've never tried them, so I dont have any answer for them,but I would suggest you to have a look over there.. you might find somethign useful [08:45] LincoN^: How well i understand you :( You know, running my favorite games (HL2, Portal, etc) on Ubuntu is hardly possible. [08:45] LincoN^, so you have decided to install another operating system? [08:45] subone, i tought so, but it woudnt let me [08:45] howso?

[09:26] subone: stuff from source should be either made into packages. or perhaps put in /opt/ or /usr/local where they can be isolated [09:26] i mean some installers you download online are scripts.... who knows what they install where and if there are even uninstallation instrctions [09:26] bazhang ok , your name refer you are from south of east Asia ? [09:26] subone: 'self installing executables' are a free for all. [09:26] subone: thats why the linux community tends to frown on them [09:27] Dr_Willis, hence my question, is there any utility to track down such apps that could very well be forgotten and reside still [09:27] subone: i doubt it. Never seen one. never even heard of one. [09:28] subone: in theory the installers SHOULD be going to /opt/ or /usr/local thats the proper place for them to be doing their work [09:29] and what does that mean for me the novice user? it means i have stuff in /opt/ now that i should go deleting willy nilly? === mentr_bnc is now known as mentr [09:29] subone: depends on what it is. [09:29] You are the admin.. its your job to pay attention to what you are doing [09:29] seems very unorganized... [09:30] is this the ubuntu help channel? [09:30] we dont controll what 'others' do in their install scripts [09:30] heatherjm45, yep [09:30] heatherjm45: true. [09:30] everthing i see in /opt/ is somthing ive installed. [09:31] cool...I recently got new bt home hub and I cant connect to it wireless. Can connect to BT Openzone [09:31] hi how can i refresh the desktop without shutting down open apps [09:31] i can't ssh from ubuntu to ubuntu, what are the things that prevent that ? [09:31] noticed that when I enter my password it seems that network manager changes it into hex (I think) [09:32] what should i do when i find out the security on my computer had been conmpromised? [09:32] Jesus H I just had a mini freakout. Partitioning needs to start with 0s for the record. [09:32] Everything is ok though. [09:32] visof: no ssh daemon on one of the ubuntus [09:32] visof: firewall. or ssh not installed. [09:33] lint: First accurately describe what you have actually found - just the facts [09:33] lint: depends on your paranoia levels. restore from known safe backup point is what a coporation would do. [09:33] dr_willis yeah, good idea. [09:33] or just nuke the system from orbit. It's the only way to be sure [09:34] lint: not behind a router? [09:34] You can't make that kind of decision, you're jsut a grunt ... no offense [09:34] one of the php file created by drupal is locked, how to change the permission of it, [09:34] AJ_Z0: but you are only a Grunt. :P [09:34] Game over, man! Game over! [09:34] best. movie. ever :) [09:35] Hello all.....anyone had a problem with dual boot win7 and ubuntu 9.1....bootloader being overwritten? [09:35] Dr_Willis: how can i change the permission of a file (even sudo can't open it) [09:35] anyone know why network manager changes my password into hex? [09:36] rabbit1: what file and on what filesystem? [09:36] was able to recover however now stage 1 and 2 are corrupted or sometging [09:37] supergrub can"t even repair [09:37] ok how to change the 60 sec logout function its not necessary. [09:37] meowbuntu: thats gone in 10.04 i noticed [09:37] Dr_Willis: its "settings.php" file, created by drupal6, owner is www-data [09:37] hello [09:37] Dr_Willis how can i disable firewall ? [09:38] rabbit1: sudo chown, and sudo chmode - is allive ever used === sparker is now known as sparker100 [09:38] visof: flush the iptable rules if you have any [09:38] !firewall [09:38] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [09:38] sudo iptables --list shows any rules you have [09:38] how to call a process from cmd but run it free from it - # after cmd? (does not work...) [09:39] raven: you mean 'command &' ? [09:39] ok guess no one knows..will have to sort itmyself..:( [09:39] then use exit command to close the shell if you want [09:39] heatherjm45: for a wirless network thekey actually IS in hex i think the ascii is for our benifit. [09:40] Dr_Willis, yes thats it tnx (should to wake up or go to bed again.... ;) ) [09:40] Dr_Willis: any idea ? [09:40] thnx dr W but it always used to show password as normal never translated it before [09:41] quit [09:41] Dr_Willis: sorry, will check out, thx [09:41] heatherjm45: i recall some checkbox to show it or not..but im on 10.04 now. so cant double check [09:41] Dr_Willis, how to remove it now i been meaning to just never got around to id [09:41] I always rember the hex and the ascii :) [09:41] meowbuntu: no idea. I never worried bout it. and its not an issue for me any more [09:42] yes Dr W thats how I know it is translating key into hex [09:42] !tab | heatherjm45 [09:42] heatherjm45: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[09:43] hello! === skynet is now known as Guest24422 [09:43] ok [09:43] I bring yet another problem though I doubt it is the beta issue I had a week ago. I'm stuck at the initramfs screen. /dev, /sys etc.. file or directory not found yadda yadda. What do I do? [09:43] shinjitestroch, which version of ubuntu [09:44] shinjitestroch: using the beta release? see #ubuntu+1 [09:44] Maletor, You skipped using the gui disk utility? [09:44] :) [09:44] hey there [09:44] Dr_Willis: i need to change it back to same permissions after editing, kindly let me know the to find the existing permission, and then changing it to edit and then again getting back the same permissions as before. [09:44] ya - just cli for now -- i want to do this and i think this is all that is necessary [09:44] it's a lot of data i need to move [09:44] ok i'll give up on this community thanks anyway [09:45] so I think growing it is the right thing to do. then tell my lvm to expand into it's new free space. [09:45] I didn't think it be a beta problem. I left my netbook on without power while logged in and I'm pretty sure doing that was a bad idea. You guys sure it is a beta problem I rather not be it that again. [09:45] ?* [09:46] shinjitestroch, lucid? [09:46] shinjitestroch: any modprobe error? [09:46] Yus, but I doubt it is a beta problem. [09:47] Nope. [09:47] shinjitestroch, the correct channel is #ubuntu+1 nonetheless [09:47] shinjitestroch: sounds like a beta prob... [09:47] curses stuck there again.

[09:49] monkeyb: or try 'debootstrap' but that may be a challange [09:49] does anybody know about sdcc compiler [09:49] I wish I could test in VB not enough RAM and processing power lols. [09:50] hrm, vbox with physical partition, & mounted iso, would I be able to reboot into that without kernel panics etc?

[09:51] rabbit1: so thats the permissions and ownership then. [09:51] visof: its on a local lan? you are doing it via the ip# ? [09:51] anyone got my qn [09:51] anyone got my qn [09:51] Dr_willis both [09:52] visof: can you ping the other box via ip? [09:52] babu__: sounds like noone atm does - ask again in a bit [09:52] Dr_Willis: now i use "chmod -rwxxxxrwx filename" [09:52] Maletor, Forgot to save? :) [09:52] rabbit1: no.. you need to use the proper syntax for chmod.

[09:54] I thought the change permissions command was shorter than that. [09:54] Dr_Willis: ok, it should be "chmod g+x filename" ? and then to change back what? [09:54] ooo that one [09:54] ! [09:55] Dr_Willis: should be "chmod g-x filename"? [09:55] rabbit1: that sets the excutable bit. if thats what you want for the group. [09:55] exeutable for a file - dosent make it writeable.. for a dir. it would [09:56] Dr_Willis: i have no idea as of now, i just need to edit a file where i don have permission at all, even with sudo, so if i give g+x i guess i would be able to edit it, what do u suggest ? [09:57] You make it writeable and its editable.. exeuctable has nothing to do with that on a file. [09:57] Dr_Willis: u mean g+w ? [09:57] moetunes for which machine ? [09:57] try it and see. makes more sence then -x to me rabbit1 [09:58] Making a file executable is simple just go into properties or use chmod. [09:58] visof: the one you can't ping from [09:58] Dr_Willis: operation not permitted. [09:58] you did use sudo as needed rabbit1 ?

[10:58] thought the repos version of x264 says this; or libav* formats if compiled with lavf support (no) or ffms support (no)., so to avoid using ffmpeg or mencoder, one will have to do a custom compile of it [10:58] I am on a LAN behind a router...when i try to SSH out, nothing happens....how may I chack from my laptop if it is because the ssh port on the router on the network i am on is closed? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:59] just bought a keyring/photoframe.

[11:15] Hi. [11:15] it is a usb card from creative, the x-fi go! Vlc and the music preview in nautilus go to this new card, but system sounds and the hulu desktop application go to the internal sound card. [11:15] I was just looking at the sound preferences, did you select the new card on all the tabs? [11:15] yes [11:16] bootninja: you might have to turn the onboard of in the bios - I never use usb sound so that is just a semi-educated guess [11:16] I even went so far as to disable the internal card [11:16] k [11:16] Must really say that after 1 day on ubuntu I really like it. Never had tried something so simple where I don't feel that I miss alot as I did with mandrake. [11:16] moetunes, sadly, my bios is a proprietary gateway bios and I don't have the option to turn off the internal card in bios [11:18] can you use lsmod and determine what module is your internal card? [11:18] bootninja: :( [11:18] you could unload the module and blacklist it [11:18] redilyn, the internal card is the snd_hda_intel and when I try to unload it, it says that it's in use and can't unload [11:19] bootninja: thats fine, add it to /etc/modules/blacklist and then reboot and see what happens [11:21] ola [11:21] quien eres? [11:21] bootninja did you get that suggestion? [11:22] redilyn, yes, thanks I assume you meant /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf?

I'm rebooting now. brb [11:23] k [11:24] i need help with a software raid problem, can someone help me? [11:24] redilyn_: the manpage or a detailed question [11:25] I have lost one software raid0 partition after a failed lucid install attempt, i need to recover this partition. [11:25] problem described in detail here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1443255 [11:25] where are you from? [11:25] redilyn, Isn't the partition formatted and nothing usuable will be lost if you reassemble it? [11:25] *usable [11:26] good bie [11:26] hi,everyone [11:26] costre, the partition in question was never formatted, md0 was and that is fine, md1 just vanished but nothing was deleted or formatted as far as I know [11:26] where are you from? [11:26] i think wine is not very good [11:26] you need first install win after ubu [11:27] tsyj2007: hi, you have a ubuntu-support question? [11:27] redilyn, Have you tried booting from liveCD and see what happens in disk utility? [11:27] iceroot: yes [11:27] costre, i am in a livecd now. can you check the forum thread. I have tried several things already which should give you some more info [11:28] redilyn_: hm raid0, with raid 1 i would say remove the borken part of the array (mdadm -r /dev/sdX) and reappend it (mdadm -a /dev/sdX) so the array could be rebuild but with raid0 i dont think that is working [11:28] redilyn_: not i a running system [11:28] tsyj2007, But why do you dislike Wine? Which version are you using? [11:28] redilyn, thanks! We have progress. now all sounds are routing through the new card, but for some reason I'm only getting sound out of one headphone [11:29] rocket16 :1.1 [11:29] tsyj2007, 1.1.38? [11:29] rocket16 :yes? [11:29] rocket16 :yeah [11:29] tsyj2007, Oh, [11:29] iceroot, the 2 partitions which makeup md1 are still there and appear fine, but when i try to assemble them it says bad superblock on /dev/sda2 [11:29] tsyj2007, But what is the problem? [11:30] rocket16 :it's compatibility is not very good [11:30] bootninja, its a start are applications playing out of both headphones? [11:30] tsyj2007, Oh, are you trying to run Microsoft's own Programmes? [11:30] tsyj2007: again, what is your ubuntu-support related question? [11:30] rocket16 :when i installed office2003,it failed [11:30] redilyn, I actually just fixed that by adjusting the balance in sound properties. I'm all set. thank you so much for your help [11:30] tsyj2007: use openoffice, also have a look at the appdb [11:30] redilyn, It happened to me that the drives had changed one time, from sdf through sdi to sde through sdh .... :) Not much help I think [11:30] !appdb | tsyj2007 [11:30] tsyj2007, Check out the Compatibility of wine at wine.hq.org [11:30] tsyj2007: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:31] how set sudo-password help-me please [11:31] bootninja, your welcome. glad i could help [11:31] pentagram: the sudo password is your user-password [11:31] rocket16 :ok,thanx [11:31] What package is responsible for drawing the layout of the netbook-remix? I mean the menus and launchers? [11:31] tsyj2007, you are welcome, :) [11:32] I need to file a bug report. [11:32] my theme showing warning as " this theme will not look as intended because the required icon theme 'human' is not installed ." [11:32] what to do? [11:32] sreeju, Just type "sudo apt-get install human-icon-theme" [11:32] sreeju, In terminal [11:32] what's the feedback on 10.04 .. how is it .. any issues especially with the wireless drivers [11:33] #ubuntu+1 for lucid [11:33] ok thank you [11:33] I had a few problems with it, mostly in the area of proprietary radeon drivers [11:33] bootninja, did the wireless work ? [11:33] lucid has worked fine for me on 2 systems but failed on one system with software raid [11:33] yes, my atheros wireless worked flawlessly [11:34] redilyn, I had the same problem kinda sorta a while back, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=977891&page=2 [11:34] bootninja, cool thanks [11:34] Hello, anyone know of a good way to unlock the region code of a DVD on 9.10 like region killer in windows? [11:34] costre, thanks reading it now [11:34] richard123, i don't think ubuntu cares about regions to worry about unlocking them in the first place [11:35] ^^ [11:35] stevecam: dvd player firmware may care? [11:35] stevecam: but I cant play the disc with any media player I try?) [11:35] hey im on ubuntu. how do i make kde apps use gtk gnome theme [11:36] i wasnt aware that dvd players stopped all reading activities after seeing a region code [11:36] richard123, have you tried using VLC? [11:36] stevecam: yes, wont do it. [11:36] stevecam: i dont remember how that works really, but i think it was something along that line [11:36] most dvd rom drives do all that in software anyway because it's cheaper [11:36] richard123, did you install the restricted extras for your distro [11:36] redilyn, Bad superblock wasn't the only error message I got, but it was one of them :) [11:37] digimonk: please explain more? [11:37] costre, gparted shows the partitions by the correct designation, and sudo mdadm --examine --scan lists the partitions as belonging to md1 [11:37] richard123, look for restricted extras in your add/remove progs [11:38] richard123, to view a css protected dvd in linux you have to install the css decoder package. used to be called libdvdread I think [11:38] hi what Emacs to install [11:39] nir2000, install vim instead :) [11:39] richard123, do you know what a patent is? [11:39] bootninja: I have libdvdread installed in Synaptic, but still cant play the DVD: do I need to activate the decoder somehow or is it automatic? [11:39] stevecam? [11:40] bootninja vim is too complicated [11:40] richard123, bootninja is correct .. i didnt know that that there was no DVD playback included in Restricted Extras [11:40] richard123, did you install libdvdread before installing your media player? [11:40] richard123, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [11:41] nir2000, I was kidding. you might try the default nano [11:41] bootninja: no afterwards, last thing I did. [11:41] can anyone recommend a replacement for gnome-terminal with Ctrl+F text search, and that doesn't have https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579022 ? [11:42] nir2000: sudo apt-get install emacs22 (but think of, if you dont know how to install emcas maybe its not a good idea to use it) [11:42] richard123, Try uninstalling your media player and reinstalling [11:42] bootninja - will try now. . [11:43] thanks iceroot [11:43] bloopletech: check terminator? [11:44] bootninja: still no go :-( [11:45] brontosaurusrex: had a look, I would prefer one not written in Java (and that's speaking as someone who used to program Java ;) [11:45] nir2000: there is also emcas23 but if you want to learn a real editor, use vim [11:45] richard123, follow instructions at this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs === jofo__ is now known as jofo [11:46] bootninja: I see that: CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Drive: FOODMATTERS_PAL [11:46] iceroot why everybody recommends vim? [11:46] hallo [11:46] nir2000: its THE editor, also it doesnt need a gui [11:46] bootninja: maybe it is not a region but a blueray problem? [11:47] nir2000: and remember vi != vim, ubuntu only comes with vi so you have to install vim [11:47] thought you were having problem with dvds. blueray is a different format and may need different libraries [11:47] iceroot, is it installed already in Ubuntu [11:48] nir2000: no, just vi is installed, not vim [11:48] richard123, if you're trying to play blueray movies, try this link: [11:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [11:48] nir2000: sudo apt-get install vim [11:48] iceroot, vi *is* vim [11:48] bootninja: no [11:49] bootninja: vi doesnt know the arrow-keys for example [11:49] iceroot, how do I installed vim? [11:49] nir2000: sudo apt-get install vim [11:49] iceroot, last I had heard all distros installed vim and vi was a symlink to the vim binary [11:49] thanks iceroot [11:50] nir2000, Or go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager and search [11:50] bootninja: ls -l /usr/bin/vi should be vim.tiny [11:50] bootninja: vim is NOT installed on ubuntu [11:50] my theme showing warning "this theme will not look as intended because the required gtk+ theme engine 'ubuntulooks' is not installed." [11:51] what to do? [11:51] iceroot, my mistake === alessandro1997[A is now known as alessandro1997 [11:51] bootninja: no problem [11:52] sreeju: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks [11:52] helo [11:52] how can I upgrade my libQt into 4.6.x ? [11:53] ok thanks [11:53] iceroot, why does it tell me device or resourse busy? "udo mdadm -A /dev/sda7 /dev/sdb2 /dev/md1 [11:53] mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy [11:53] mdadm: /dev/sdb2 has no superblock - assembly aborted" [11:54] redilyn_: imo sudo mdadm -a /dev/sda7 /dev/md1 && sudo mdadm -a /dev/sdb2 /dev/md1 [11:55] iceroot, mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/sda7 [11:55] there was a factoid on how to remove KDE et al, which was it? [11:55] iceroot, changed the error message.... [11:55] !puregnome | SpiceMan [11:55] SpiceMan: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [11:56] iceroot: thanks [11:56] redilyn_: i cqant remeber what was the correct way [11:56] redilyn_: maybe search for a tutorial on building raid0 with mdadm [11:56] When you open up the terminal...you got, ubuntu@ubuntu as a default user unless you type in sudo -i for @root , Right ? and every time you have to why can't i set it as default ALWAYS @ROOT no more passwords to type [11:56] another question, this is a KDE 9.04 => upgraded to 9.10 with ubuntu-desktop [11:57] but when booting it still shows kubuntu [11:57] *kubuntu 9.04 [11:57] SpiceMan: you mean splashscreen? [11:57] yeah [11:57] It will show you kubuntu unless you uninstall it you get Gnome :) [11:57] hi all - i need some commandline help - I need to delete all directories that do NOT have *.mp3 in them or their subdirectories - any ideas? [11:57] iceroot, this might change things, fdisk lists md1 as assembled?!? Disk /dev/md1: 151.0 GB, 151024107520 bytes [11:57] !splash | SpiceMan [11:57] SpiceMan: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [11:57] can I change the fonts of one of the X screens to be bigger but keeping the size for the other screens? [11:57] like, seperate settings [11:58] redilyn_: cat /proc/mdadm (use tab to complete, dont have mdadm running here, there you will see the status of the raid) [11:58] iceroot: thanks [11:58] gregg: write a script [11:58] Anyone here @_@ [11:58] recursive [11:59] DexterLB: sounds good in principle - if I knew how to do that then I'd be a step closer ;) [11:59] Ahmed\, no [11:59] hmmz [11:59] Okay well ! thank you [11:59] iceroot, md1 : active raid0 sda7[0] sdb2[1] 147484480 blocks 64k chunks - so perhaps i just need to recover the ext4 partition stored on md1? [11:59] gregg: wait a sec [11:59] DexterLB: oki [11:59] Ahmed\, Nevermind that, I thought it was a question :) [11:59] redilyn_: your md1 is /? [12:00] is there a GUI to switch the window button placement and arrangement in 10.04 beta [12:00] HHHHHHHHHHH it was HUH what else you expected :$ [12:00] iceroot, no md1 is /home, this is why im trying so hard to get it back [12:00] iceroot, md0 was /, i told the installer to format it [12:01] iceroot, it failed to format md0 which is what caused all of this [12:01] gregg: i'd google for 'negate glob bash' [12:01] redilyn_: but the result from /proc/mdadm is looking good === jofo__ is now known as jofo [12:01] brontosaurusrex: ok - hopefully google will tell me what that means lol [12:02] digim0nk: /join #ubuntu+1 [12:02] iceroot, thanks [12:02] Ahmed\, I thought you asked "Is there anyone in here?" ... And because there are 1300 people in here, I answered "no" :p [12:02] iceroot, yes but the ext4 partition from md1 is no where to be found, i had no idea the array was already assembled. is it safe to use testdisk on md1 to try and recover the partition? [12:02] gregg: also http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ [12:03] brontosaurusrex: thx, looks good [12:04] gregg: and especially http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/016 , you may also want to ask something later in #bash [12:04] gregg: here's what I wrote for you also: http://pastebin.com/1hMtwRnm [12:04] is there multitouch notebook premade with ubuntu? [12:05] DexterLB: looks nice - just put the path instead of and run from anywhere? [12:06] gregg: yes but try it on another folder first [12:06] it's untested [12:06] if there's a mistake it'll delete everything [12:06] sixtila no. but you can easily but your own ubuntu on them [12:06] DexterLB: of course [12:07] idlehead the multitouch i am looking to buy is from HP - has ubuntu drivers to support if fully? [12:07] sixtila which one from hp exactly? [12:08] idlehead touchsmart tx2 i guess(looks to be recent) === ecto is now known as ectospasm [12:10] sixtila it seems that ubuntu does not have drivers pre-installed for that. but on the other hand, the forum posting I found is from 2009, so things might have change [12:10] *changed [12:11] sixtila, sorry. the posting is from a few days back. not 2009 xD [12:11] thanks dude [12:11] no problem [12:11] just give it a try [12:11] do you think the lucid will come up with the required drivers? [12:11] i think so. multi-touch devices are emerging so I think lucid will provide drivers sooner or later [12:12] also, the most recent fedora has multitouch support [12:12] so it's just a matter of trial and error ;) === Kasun is now known as Guest60048 [12:12] I cannot find multi touch devices usefull at all [12:12] hello [12:13] what i need to be able to do is write quick notes/draw/put my thoughts [12:13] maquetero-ppc, it is a matter of how you use them. small multi-touch notebooks can be pretty handy for scribbling or taking notes or signatures [12:13] ya, thats is my main purpose ; [12:14] if I dont get the drivers, then probably I will dual boot it with windows [12:14] I'm starting to miss winamp :( [12:14] after all I need to be able to do .net in it [12:14] What's an easy way to backup my home folder to a samba share? [12:14] artanis^: what about it? [12:14] sixtila, i wanted one for drawing, since i can't get comfortable with my drawing tablet [12:14] !backup > emghazal [12:14] emghazal, please see my private message [12:14] .... [12:15] jrib; Have tried 5 players for Ubuntu now and none of them comes close. [12:15] artanis^: what exactly is missing? [12:15] artanis^, audacious is the closest ive found [12:15] artanis^, I agree, something really small and simple like that would be nice. Fortunately I don't use mp3's too much [12:15] I use it all the time :/ [12:16] why not use rhytmbox or banshee? [12:17] *rhythmbox [12:17] even amarok [12:17] yeah [12:17] I've ubuntu 9.04...it isn't detecting the contents of the cd...what do i do? === skbohra_ is now known as skbohra [12:17] Idlehead: maybe in few cases... in really small devices like phone or something like that. in computer is is not usefull just rise the prises [12:17] ammulu, try to see if another pc is recognizing the contents of the cd [12:17] audacious seams to be something I can live with. [12:18] maquetero-ppc, i have to disagree with that. for me, a tablet pc with multitouch and stylus support would be perfect for drawing (artist) [12:18] Maybe he just doesn't like it or it doesn't fit it's needs, as he said, Idlehead [12:18] idlehead, its working on my frnds system... [12:18] :) [12:19] ammulu, when you insert the CD does it show that there is a CD or does the CD not show up at all [12:19] hello. bug is here: my sister's gnome bottom panel background is photo [12:19] jrib: I read those pages, there is nothing about backing up to a samba share [12:19] at my account it's normal [12:19] gdb, right click on the panel and choose properties [12:20] gdb, then go to the background tab [12:20] emghazal: well, for example you can just tar the directory up and place the tarball in a samba share. It depends on what you want to do [12:20] idlehead, yes its showing that i have a cd drive but its not reading its contents... [12:20] emghazal: Backing up to a samba share is the same as backing up somewhere else ... [12:20] ammulu, is the cd badly scratched? [12:21] ammulu, could it be that the CD is protected with some kind of copy protection? [12:21] redilyn_, its wrking on my frnds system [12:21] emghazal: I found "backintime" usefull for this task [12:21] emghazal: and several of the other backup solutions given there, if you read their documentation, will tell you if they support backing up to samba or not === rapha_ is now known as rapha [12:22] ammulu: Some copy protection mechanisms doesn't work on all drives .. so maybe your drive doesn't work, but your friends does [12:22] how 2 create repository 4 ubuntu pack....] [12:22] idlehead, Its 9.10 cd, shipped from canonical === Tonus_ is now known as Tonus [12:23] ammulu: what's this for a CD and does yyour friend use ubuntu as well? [12:23] draglor, yes [12:23] draglor, whe uses 9.10...m upgrading it [12:24] and the CD? what is it? [12:25] draglor, ubuntu 9.10 [12:25] redilyn, thank you [12:26] how 2 create repository just like fedora [12:26] emghazal: I imagine most will work fine. The only issues I could possibly foresee is it not retaing attributes like permissions and ownership (I don't know if samba does this), but if you are backing up your own files, it shouldn't matter [12:26] ammulu: does the cd boot on your system? [12:27] draglor, no...Its not reading it [12:28] jrib: some of the backup solutionseven store peremissions etc. in a seperate file, even on a fat fs. [12:28] ammulu, what are you trying to do with the cd? install ubuntu? if so, perhaps you can make a liveusb at your friends house [12:29] redilyn_, yes I can do that but I wanted to put my cd drive in order :) [12:30] ammulu, i was just thinking sometimes its best to leave things be, especially if it reads other cds without problems [12:30] After trying few programs, I think I'm doing this wrong. I'm using the samba share address (smb://iomega-d1491/backup/) as the destination. What else should I do? [12:30] artanis^, I just installed winamp and run it using wine. Works good, except there seems to be some issues when adding mp3's not in the wine c-drive [12:30] redilyn_, thats the problem, it aint reading any cd... [12:30] on boot ammulu? if the cd does work on other systems and you even can't boot it ... I'd think your cd drive or the cd is somehow broken === OerHeks is now known as Oer [12:31] costre: i'd understand running foobar [12:31] what is samba [12:31] costre: but there's like ten winamp-like players on linux >: [12:31] ammulu, ah, sorry i didnt read the whole conversation. are you sure your cd-rom didnt just die? I had a liteon that one day just would read anything [12:31] DaZ, I wouldn't know :) Strange they don't include one in ubuntu [12:31] *wouldnt [12:31] emghazal: you have to say your backup programm which directorys to sync end where to sync them (smb://iomega-d1491/backup/).... thats all [12:32] dmesg | grep CD lists the cd drive [12:32] hey guys how can i check a burned disks integrity? [12:32] ammulu, even if the cdrom is detected doesnt mean it is working! [12:32] ammulu, if you have compressed air try sparying some inside the cdrom, might clean the lens [12:32] isn't there yet a netbook that comes with native support for ubuntu? [12:33] preinstalled and all drivers set [12:33] maybe you have to mount the smb share local first [12:33] redilyn_, ok thnx... I'll try it out :) [12:34] witam [12:34] Jest jakis polak ?

[13:06] i need a 'for dummies' guide on how to move /home and /var to new HD? just isnt working :/ [13:06] i have this issuesE: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [13:06] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [13:08] any body know my issues [13:09] zenta, may you run synaptic and another package tool too... [13:09] ah ah yes [13:10] i will try to close synaptic [13:10] * ujkanovic slaps zenta around a bit with a large trout [13:10] bro can you help me whit cpanel [13:11] thankuo [13:11] hello, I am trying to combine two flv files.. but have been failing.. I tried a few options found through google, using ffmpeg, mencoder, pitivi etc., but I think the flv files are of different bitrate or something.. [13:11] how do i check it? [13:12] yw [13:12] or is there another preferred option on ubuntu to combine flvs? [13:13] sharat87: how do you combine flvs when not on ubuntu? [13:13] i never did... [13:14] i have ubuntu at my disposal now so.. looking for ubuntu options :) [13:14] sharat87: there is your answer, no freaking way [13:15] so, what do u suggest? some software on windows or something? [13:15] sharat87: i think mencoder will do it if you do something like "mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy file1 file2 file3 … -o final_movie.mpg" [13:16] that's what i tried previously.. i came up with the same search result :) [13:16] but i want an flv.. [13:16] is it a different command for flv [13:17] how can I check if my graphics driver is working properly? [13:17] so just change the mpg to flv [13:17] sharat87: it wont work [13:17] hi there, is there a way to use another ubuntu on a mounted disk as if it was booted normally to install updates? [13:17] Someguy77, what are you on 9.10 [13:17] yes karmic [13:17] sharat87: at least i'am not aware of any tool on any os that would do that [13:17] just changing the sctension did not work [13:18] s/sctension/extension [13:18] i get a corrupted video file [13:18] Someguy77, go to system adminstration hardware drivers [13:18] so? [13:19] Someguy77, if your drivers are not on or not working it will tell you [13:19] billy2007: hardware drivers won't start [13:20] Someguy77, hmmmm [13:20] billy2007: it says searching for avaliable drivers forever [13:20] Someguy77, im not sure on that m8 sorry :( [13:20] ah thats what should happen [13:20] Someguy77, forever? Do you interrupt the process? [13:20] no [13:21] I've been waiting for several minutes [13:21] ok. Most issues are due to impatience :) [13:22] Is it possible to login to a mounted ubuntu drive, something like ssh style? [13:22] its still going!! [13:22] I think its been searching for over 10 minutes [13:22] should I try reinstalling the drivers? [13:23] hhm, would the netbook remix be better for my kinda old laptop with celeron@1Ghz and 512MB RAM? Normal ubuntu is very slow on it... [13:23] hi. When I adjust the volume, a grey rectangle appears near top right showing the volume adjust... but when I alter my laptop's panel brightness, it doesn't do that. How do I get this back? [13:24] isn't the new name for the netbook remix actually Ubuntu netbook edition? [13:24] : a clean ubuntu is fast enough there [13:24] benni123, you mean you have another ubuntu-installation mounted to /mnt/other-ubuntu-root for example? In that case use: sudo chroot /mnt/other-ubuntu-root [13:24] fabio333, idk, my machine is really very slow ;) [13:24] thechef, exactly [13:25] especially with firefox [13:25] ubutom3>: i got an old laptop with 512 mb rab .... [13:25] fabio333, and what processor? [13:25] ubutom3, have you tried xubuntu [13:25] thechef, I get chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error [13:26] ubottu, a littler better than yours [13:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:26] digimOnk_, no, but i tried using fluxbox as desktop manager [13:27] fabio333, a celeron at 1ghz is like a pentium III with 700mhz [13:27] ive ben looking at jolicloud that looks pretty good [13:27] anyone know a good music app for cleaning up dirs [13:27] ubutom3, using xubuntu on an eeePC which is a celeron wth 512 MB .. its fine [13:27] ubuntulog, how much it's worth you can get a decent pc with few dollars or euros... [13:28] digimOnk_, k, will try that if it doesnt improve after the upgrade :) [13:28] ubuntulog, anyway lucid is faster than karmic [13:28] fabio333, thats retarded, why should i buy new hardware if there is software that runs better on it? [13:28] clarify [13:28] !lucid fabio333 [13:29] notify-send does not right.. where do i file a bug report, libnotify or notification-daemon? [13:29] ubuntu, ???

[13:31] ubutom3, that's not what i meant [13:31] yo can't someone make ubottu censor profanity here? [13:31] ubutom3, i know i was just having a little fun :p [13:31] :) [13:31] tachiro1, init we could swear then [13:31] celeron 1ghz is crap, whatever you run on it .... buy on old decent pc [13:31] tachiro1: it's just a bot.. it can't censor stuff [13:31] hmm, [13:31] ahhh ok [13:32] i'm not talking about core i7 [13:32] fabio333, please shut up if youre not helping [13:32] !language [13:32] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:32] ubutom3, have you been using the netbook remix? [13:32] Idlehead, no, I asked if it would be better for my laptop [13:33] ubutom3, don't even think about using it. the interface lags as hell and does not run well under 1,3 ghz. don't know why though. [13:33] tachiro1, you may be able to have your local IRC client censor rude words though [13:33] ohhhh [13:34] Idlehead, hm, tahts odd, thought it was altered to fit netbooks, Atom-CPUs aren't very fast in general :) [13:34] we might not be thinking of the same thing.. but i know pidgin (using) has option === matt is now known as elfondo [13:34] there's a paintball chat that i go to that has this hilarious solution to that [13:34] ubutom3, it is supposed to run well, but i tried it on my new eee and well, it lost against moblin [13:35] hmkay, thanks [13:35] ubutom3 , the NBR was a little slow on my eee [13:36] digimOnk_, i noticed the slowness as well and marked it as not usable for me. moblin is way better for eee :) [13:36] so lets say i buy a netbook for my girl, u think it wont be worth a dam comp to winblows [13:36] yeah, maybe i should do a fresh install with 9.10, upgraded this box from idk what version to 8.04 and now to 10.4 to test :) [13:36] Idlehead, yeah wanna give moblin a try [13:36] btw is there a distro that's build specifically for laptops? [13:37] built* [13:37] well to run most efficiently [13:37] or more* === freevryheid is now known as fvs [13:37] digimOnk_, the only flaw i could not get rid of: moblin does not recognize my wifi hardware inside the eee :/ [13:37] Idlehead, ouch .. really [13:37] tachiro1, check out jolicloud [13:37] tachiro1: there are some "lighter" distros.. and distros you can customize yourself.. archlinux is customizable.. dsl is small and light.. puppylinux is also said to be lean [13:38] digimOnk_, yeah. it sucks to need a cable connection everytime i wanna use it while eating breakfast. but i think i can get it working [13:38] tachiro1: there are so many distros.. why not have a look at distrowatch, see if they have some kind of recommendation [13:38] Slart, jolicloud is made specifically for netboks [13:38] billy2007, jolicloud is actually the same as the ubuntu netbook remix: slow and laggy [13:39] well i got a few guidelineswhich one won't put me at a complete stand still until i master terminal [13:39] guidelines. * [13:39] hi i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and all my window action b uttons like minimisze and close are on the left side of my window, how can i put them on the right? [13:39] Idlehead, good to know everythin else works .. i shud give moblin a spin [13:39] !lucid | guest6980 [13:39] guest6980: 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 [13:39] guest6980, open the gconf-editor [13:39] Idlehead, i never knew that thanks 4 the info :) [13:39] billy2007: I'm reading about it now.. never seen it before.. thanks [13:40] i'm using karmic btw .. and i'm just wondering where this stand on a scale of 1-10 as far as lean'ness [13:40] Idlehead, yesm and then?

[13:43] Idlehead: just channel policy [13:43] hey, i can't seem to connect to my to a openvpn server from my machine [13:43] Slart, bureaucracy... [13:44] ;) [13:44] hi all === zz_Darky is now known as Darky [13:45] anyone here familiar with openvpn? [13:46] I've had a complete system freeze yesterday, prolly x fault, how do I investigate the problem? [13:46] tobi_, does it work now? [13:46] yes [13:46] tobi_, then never mind :P [13:46] no I don't want it in future [13:47] tobi_: you can check the logs.. /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log might be a good start [13:47] tobi_, I don't know much about X, but doesn't it generate some logs? [13:47] oh, slart was faster [13:48] or dmesg [13:48] ye, thx [13:48] gonna take a look [13:48] Are there still plans to replace Firefox with Epiphany in Ubuntu (at some point)? [13:48] bcj epiphany is a joke lol [13:48] even ie is better [13:48] tobi_: WebKit fans would say Gecko is a joke [13:48] hi [13:48] hello all [13:49] I have problem with terminal [13:49] Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my Dell XPS M1330. Everything works great except the keyboard layout is a bit messed up. Anyone have any experience with thisÉ [13:49] ? [13:49] tobi_: I know developers who have handled the code for each and WebKit is far better (by their testimony). [13:49] i am Grzegorz [13:49] Basttrax: Try going to System - Preferences - Keyboard - Layouts and finding one which fits you [13:49] hi all [13:49] one of my question is [13:49] whether , C++ code could be found in kernel. [13:49] i am curios about that . [13:49] whether c++ code could be found in kernel [13:49] Devil_Wang: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:49] anyone could tell me? [13:50] how do i remove DRM protection on vmw files? [13:50] tobi_: ...and, no, iE is the cause for most of the badly coded pages on the web. [13:50] Devil_Wang: Kernel, as far as I'm aware, is mostly written in C [13:50] tobi_: There's no way you can say that's a good thng. [13:50] bcj wan't all that serious :) [13:50] Devil_Wang: I think it's mainly in C.. but I doubt it's *only* C [13:51] tobi_: ? [13:51] tobi_: You're not making sense. [13:51] bcj I dispise the simplicity of epiphany, because it lacks common features [13:51] bcj, the engine itself is not that bad, but epiphany is like firefox 0.5 imho [13:51] Devil_Wang: there might be better channels to ask this.. isn't there a ubuntu-kernel channel? [13:51] hi, i am looking for an application to use "remember the milk"; i don't like to use tasque; any alternatives? [13:51] Could this linux command stand for something? linux show hardware wisely? lshw [13:51] tobi_: Which features do you miss the most? [13:51] xerox1: Sorry, what? Could you rephrase that? [13:52] purplebluesilver: LiSt HardWare [13:52] bcj just use Opera for a while, and you're gonna see what I mean [13:52] any1 who knows how to remove DRM encryption? [13:52] what is the shortcut to switch between tabs in a terminal? [13:52] theadmin, Maybe its something to do with me being in Canada [13:52] tobi_: Which features? [13:52] Commander_Keen: wrong channel for that.. [13:52] Commander_Keen, removing DRM is a violation of law :/ [13:52] Commander_Keen, yea lets not be pirates [13:52] ad blocking is not there in standard [13:52] theadmin, i am looking for an app to use the service "remember the milk"; the only one i found was "tasque", but it seems to have bugs; [13:52] heheh [13:52] tobi_: Maybe there's a case to make to the Epiphany guys? [13:53] bcj a lot of small things I do not remember atm [13:53] xerox1: No idea what milk are you talking about :/ Doubt I can help [13:53] tobi_: Not important enough to remember, hmm. [13:53] xerox1: you might want to look into firefox addons as well.. I think there is one or two in there [13:53] 8-) [13:53] anyone here familiar with openvpn? [13:53] !anyone | adalal [13:53] adalal: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:53] Slart: One or two? There are tons of FF addons [13:53] is there such a channel where one could speak of theoretical sugestions? [13:53] Slart, i have looked for it, but couldn't find one [13:53] Slart: i tried asking the question about 10 minutes ago, with no reply... [13:53] theadmin, he meant addons for "remember the milk" [13:54] Commander_Keen: ask in #freenode [13:54] theadmin, That's good, I also like linux show hard ware -- I am making a list of useful to me commands. But the last one got trashed when this box froze. So someone gave me another computer. I need to see how good it is. INside. OUTside it's a styley gamer mode. [13:54] TY [13:54] Slart: thx alot [13:54] Idlehead: Oh. [13:54] nvidia driver 185 suddenly crashing is there a known bug ? How do i troubleshoot and where is the log [13:55] theadmin, Thanks. It was set to "Canada English" but it still wasn't happy. When I switched it over to USA it worked like a charm [13:55] Basttrax: Heh. Good that you fixed it [13:55] ubottu: yay | Basttrax [13:55] Basttrax: Glad you made it! :-) [13:56] I probably could have figured it out, but you guys on here are always so helpful :) [13:57] Is there a way to turn off people entering and leaving in X-Chat? [13:57] Wireless question in 10.04 : The WPA password is not being saved. I had to enter it everytime I login to the desktop. [13:58] Basttrax: depends on which xchat you're using.. but try right clicking the channel name.. there might be a setting there [13:58] yeah, right click ont he channel ta and select show /hide enter leave messages [13:58] channel tab [13:58] hi, everyone. I reinstalled firefox and restarted the system, but when I tried to start firefox, a window pops up and says "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." [13:58] ubutom3, Woohoo! [13:58] I tried to start it from terminal and the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." [13:59] Basttrax, searched for that a while some time ago :) [13:59] comfy: try running this in a terminal "pkill -9 firefox" [13:59] comfy: then try again [13:59] comfy or just "killall firefox" [13:59] thanks slart and idle head, i'll try that [13:59] hello all [13:59] hello mamous [14:00] I have a problem in my transmission bittorent clint [14:00] is here any one can help me please [14:00] the first time i helped people on this channel i realised how much of a geek i've become [14:00] mamous: What is the problem? [14:00] i have compiz running, can i still have a shortcut to switch tabs in a terminal [14:00] !ask | mamous [14:01] mamous: 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. :-) [14:01] I tried "killall firefox" it says "firefox: no process found" [14:01] I open a port in my Router oky.. when it make it in the settings it said it is closed [14:01] and I tried pkill-9 firefox, and nothing [14:01] sixtila: you can set a compiz shortcut to change desktops.. see !ccsm [14:01] sixtila, doesn't shift+ctrl+pgup/down work? [14:01] but when I check the proxy settings it is open [14:01] how come [14:01] ? [14:01] comfy: That means Firefox isn't running :) [14:01] what to do [14:01] mamous: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:01] but when I start firefox, it says "GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times" [14:01] comfy I forgot how but what you need to to find the process number. Soemtimes you have to do that. [14:01] mamous: Maybe it is closed for this specific application? [14:01] idlehead it doesnt [14:01] hmm..., so reinstall? [14:01] comfy: It's normal, same here [14:02] no man it is not closed I open it in my router [14:02] comfy list processes [14:02] comfy it left something behind [14:02] but it is open when I check the proxy setting in the transmission settings [14:02] how can I list process? [14:02] like the port is closed when the proxy settings is unchecked [14:02] comfy: Install htop for something like Windows taskmanager by the way [14:02] comfy: ps aux in a terminal.. or use the system monitor [14:03] and it is open wen the proxy settings in the transmission is checked [14:03] sixtila, what happens if you press the shortcut? [14:03] sixtila, does anything else happen? [14:03] what to do ? [14:03] ciao [14:03] i listed the process in my terminal, but it's really long [14:03] Wireless question in 10.04 : The WPA password is not being saved. I had to enter it everytime I login to the desktop.How to save Wireless password so as to not enter it everytime I reboot the computer in Ubuntu 10.04? Anyone? [14:04] idlehead it ctrl+shft+pgup takes me up, in the same terminal [14:04] comfy: you can do "ps aux | less" for it to become scrollable [14:04] comfy I googled it and got this -- The ps command displays all of the existing processes. This command is also directly linked to issues with stopped processes (also known as "stopped jobs"). [14:04] Occasionally, you may see the message There are Stopped Jobs. [14:04] If you log off the system without properly stopping your jobs, some jobs/processes may remain in memory tying up the system and drawing unnecessary processing bandwidth. [14:04] Type ps and hit enter. This will list all of your current processes running, or stopped.

[14:04] sorry dude bot === Cain` is now known as Cain [14:05] * purplebluesilver just discovered I gan google commands. FTW and good night again === zz is now known as Guest486 [14:06] Hmm... not quite sure what I'm looking for in the listed process, but nothing seems to contain "firefox" [14:06] sixtila, does Alt+1, 2, 3, 4 [14:06] sixtila, does Alt+1, 2, 3, 4 work? [14:06] idlehead wow that does [14:06] thanks man [14:06] sixtila, you're welcome [14:07] i m playing with some C++ so need to switch tabs a lot [14:07] Hmm... I think I'll have to reinstall again [14:07] Thanks everyone [14:08] comfy, try ps aux | grep firefox [14:08] comfy, why are you re-installing firefox to begin with? [14:08] anything for helping me sorting and organizing a big bunch of pdf, video lectures, e-books? Thx. [14:08] Basttrax, because reinstalling solves everything...under windows that is ;) [14:08] lol [14:09] reboot and reinstall *g* [14:09] and reinstall your distro while you're at it ;) [14:09] restored my bookmarks, but then bookmark-organizing library is empty, even though the drop down menu shows bookmarks [14:10] so I tried to delete ******.defaults files in firefox profile folder [14:10] the folder is something like ~/.mozilla/firefox (found info online) [14:10] comfy, i ran into this problem on my girlfriends computer (windows) but i forgot how i solved it. all i know i was getting very angry at firefox... [14:10] xxxx.default is your profile [14:11] damn...i'm hungry... gotta grab something. idle now [14:11] yeah, it was suggested on some pages that several bookmark issues are related to the profile [14:11] so I tried to delete that [14:11] * Idlehead goes into the wilderness to hunt down sliced bread [14:11] Ah [14:12] Yeah things get a bit mess in Firefox when working with profiles :( [14:12] then for some reason, i thought it would be good to complete remove and reinstall firefox at that point :( [14:12] Are you doing it through the Ubuntu Software Manager? Or from the site? [14:12] removing firefox wont remove your profile [14:12] comfy: Did you backup any data or anything or do you ever? === ubuntu is now known as justsomeguy [14:13] ubutom3: yeah, that i figured out from trial and error :P [14:13] hmm I only backup bookmarks with Xmarks [14:13] comfy, yeah, the profile resides in .mozilla/firefox or so [14:13] comfy, Ubuntu is a pretty quick install. Maybe start from scratch?... [14:14] Hi all. Does anyone have any recommended documentation on how to prepare an ubuntu system to switch from a nvidia card to an ati/amd card? [14:14] yikes @@~ [14:14] I might consider giving up on firefox for good, and finally try chrome. This is actually the second time [14:14] comfy, I copied my firefox profile from windows to linux and the other way around, I just put it in the profile folder and changed the file profile.ini or whats it called [14:15] that it's happenedn, I don't remember what I did last time though [14:15] dorkface: Purge and configure or backup critical data and install fresh, I guess. [14:15] comfy, You'll come back from Chrome. Everyone always does :) [14:15] comfy, sometimes the problems start with wrong permissions on the profile [14:16] at least it was like that in my case when i copied the profile from windows :) [14:16] Basttrax: :D [14:16] dorkface, Yeah. Backup everything, switch cards and restart. If you can install the drivers afterbootup with new card thats great. If not, reinstall Ubuntu [14:16] comfy: chromium [14:16] I kinda like Chrome, is zippy , sorta. [14:16] Basttrax: Sheesh, that's kinda brutal :/ [14:16] Any reason why my microphone sound never works? I've tried reading most of the forums, etc.. all other sound works fine from the motherboard [14:17] heh [14:17] Hmm... ok, I'll try what I can and if all fails, I'll probably try to reinstall ubuntu :(:( Though, it's seems kind of drastic to reinstall ubuntu because of glitch in firefox [14:17] comfy: chromium + dolce gabbana skin are unbeatable ;) [14:17] dorkface, lol yeah. There's not much you can do. Honestly though I think you'll be alright after re-install. I think the bootup will detect the new card. [14:17] I fell like I should break something else first :( [14:17] dorkface, had no problem with switching gfx-card in the past, be sure to uninstall nvidia driver if installed manually [14:18] dorkface: That is safest way I know of and less hassles from a goofy system setup. [14:18] brontosaurusrex: no time better to try chromium than when ff is broken :) [14:18] comfy, aww. Google "How to completely uninstall firefox from ubuntu" if thats the case [14:18] comfy, but a reinstall might be faster in the long run [14:18] Basttrax: thanks :) [14:19] dorkface, in general ubuntu starts on pretty much everything, switched here from an old intel to an amd with totally different mainboard, etc :) gfx card doesnt have to be a problem imo [14:19] I want to mount the floppy drive. what must I install to do this? [14:19] purplebluesilver, what is a floppy drive? (just kidding) [14:20] !mount | purplebluesilver [14:20] purplebluesilver: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [14:20] wait [14:20] purplebluesilver, insert a disk and right click on floppy in nautilis and select mount? [14:20] wtf [14:20] Thanks everyone, I was a little afraid to post my questions, but you're all very friendly and helpful :) [14:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [14:20] comfy, The ubuntu crowd is usually a good one ;) [14:21] :) [14:21] comfy, I wish we had a better answer for you though [14:21] when I do that it tell me mount special device /dev/sdc does not exist [14:21] synapse@darkside:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec [14:21] Codec: VIA ID 441 [14:21] Is VIA a sound card manufacturer? [14:21] purplebluesilver, there is a floppy int he drive? [14:21] synapse, They are. CPU's too. [14:21] That was plenty helpful, really, it's more frustrating googling for the answer [14:21] I put one in but it might not be formatted ubutom3 [14:22] synapse: I'm not sure they make sound cards.. but they make all kinds of chips that handles sound [14:22] synapse, onboard stuff mostly [14:22] so Im reading this howto to apparently work around a bug tha ubuntu has [14:22] Ok, I'm back to trying and fix firefox. bye everyone~ [14:22] bye [14:22] options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL [14:22] comfy: I would rather see questions asked than none. [14:22] I think I will just ask a neighbor with a windows machine. I want to install a program on it. [14:22] do I do model=VIA ? [14:22] hey guys i know i should be on ubuntu+1 but there useless im on mobile broadband and going to upgrade to 10.04 will it download then install or do it all at once because i dont want to disonnect from inet half way through [14:23] something like this in options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N model=VIA alsa-base.conf? [14:23] purplebluesilver, ok, i just inserted a floppy in my laptop :) now i can mount it under places [14:23] Installed it while the computer was running...? [14:23] billy2007: Yes, try #ubuntu+1 and or look at Launchpad. [14:24] billy2007, lucid in #ubuntu+1 not here [14:24] Will this system be compatible with Ubuntu (http://www.cclonline.com/system-info.asp?product_id=34698) [14:24] ubutom3, yes, but mine doesnt show. Does that mean it is unformatted. Oh wait I'll try another disk. [14:24] bazhang, there useless dont even attepmt to answer questions [14:24] billy2007, still the proper channel, be patient [14:24] hhm, idk purplebluesilver don't really use floppies that much nowadays, but the one i have is formatted [14:24] Hi, I've got a file full of lines in this format: " foo X random garble Y bar". Is it possible to tell sed to delete from X to Y (with the random garble in between) in all lines and keep the rest? [14:25] lol. And someone said canonical/ubuntu site devs never joked... http://uppix.net/7/8/3/04aea8f81eb5b1e1e3e3f20b408cb.png [14:25] DexterLB, dont paste that here [14:26] billy2007: Here is the Launchpad info>https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid [14:26] ok... [14:26] okay here is the issue. i installed 9.10 and we haft to use a USB wireless booster to reach our wireless.now we try to connect his computer to the wireless network BUT it cant connect.it tries then gives up and we cant figure out why it does this.tried WICD but it cant find the network at all even if we are 5 feet from transmitter. there is no wire internet here. [14:26] What the hell do I use for Codec: VIA ID 441 as the model? its not listed in alsa [14:26] its an asus motherboard [14:27] sabertooth 55i [14:27] stronze, Are you sure it's compatible with Ubuntu? [14:27] everything runs fine except it jsut wont connect [14:27] Wireless usb sometimes gets a bit pissy with linux [14:27] Can you try any other networks? [14:27] ubutom3, I tried 2 others that should contain data. same story. I'm going to give this one u and go do this project on a windows machine. All I want to do is get a report on this failed windows installation with "Belarc Advisor" and get the OEM number for it. I'll leave it for another day. Another computer. Thanks for trying [14:28] stronze, The first thing to do is figure out if it's just that network it cant connect with, or all of them. [14:28] basttrax - it only detects the one network.his built in wireless isnt that strong compaired to mine.i detect several [14:28] stronze, hmm [14:28] That is a hrmmm [14:28] using ubuntu but i am having connection issues on other servers with konversation [14:29] stronze, Whats the model number of the wireless booster? [14:29] synapse there is a program that allows you to use a windows driver for a wireless thingy [14:29] a [14:29] what? this is an onboard soundcard problem [14:30] basttrax - g sky link gs-27usb [14:30] basttrax - i didnt even think to see if booster is the issue [14:31] ubottu: who | synapse [14:31] synapse: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:31] yeah that would be my first guess [14:31] irssi Rules!!!! [14:31] g sky? [14:31] :) [14:31] moin [14:31] best bet is to always ask google if they work with linux before buying any peripherals. Got tired of having issues because of win only hardware. [14:32] using ubuntu but i am having connection issues on other servers with konversation [14:32] basttrax - i had him take his laptop to the transmitter and see fi it will connect [14:32] how can i put ubuntu on usb if i dont have ubuntu :/ [14:33] #ubuntu-de [14:33] Traveler0, unetbootin [14:33] Traveler0, what OS [14:33] thanks bazhang that was the program i was using [14:34] wie komme ich in ubuntu-de? [14:34] Hi, I've got a file full of lines in this format: " foo X [random garble] Y bar". Is it possible to tell sed to delete the string from X to Y (with the random garble inbetween) for all lines whilst keeping the rest of teh content? [14:34] german?? [14:34] cap, /join #ubuntu-de [14:34] bazhang i can but any usx based os? [14:34] danke [14:34] cap: Bitte, machen sie "/join #ubuntu-de" [14:34] Traveler0, windows? another version of linux? which OS [14:34] aar: sure.. something like sed 's/X.*Y/XY/' should work [14:35] C'mon man I'm trying to learn a little english!! :) je [14:35] bazhang its for kubuntu but i want to try mac os x too :) [14:35] stronze, Just googled the booster and linux. didn't see any issues, or much of anything on it really [14:35] IS there a GUI that let me manage startup options easier? Like, i would rather boot to bash than have X start auto. [14:35] basttrax - is there a way i can download the latest updates for him and usb it to him? [14:35] Slart, thanks I'll try that [14:35] Traveler0, only apple for that, not supported here nor on freenode; you can use unetbootin to get ubuntu from windows if you wish though unetbootin.sourceforge.net [14:36] basttrax - odd, its working now [14:36] Traveler0: I have Os x leopard in my macbook I prefer Gnu/linux [14:36] stronze, Yay! [14:36] The_Explorer: No. If you want to boot into a console, do "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.DISABLED" [14:37] maquetero-ppc on ppc??? non there isnt flash! you cant watch flash on ppc with flash 9 but i stil :) [14:37] basttrax - lol, all that googling and it fixes itself.i think it was making fun of me [14:37] There is a "gdm" file in /etc/init.d though, unsure whether this will work because of that one. [14:37] theadmin: So, if i do that, I boot to bash and i can /startx to get into X [14:37] stronze, Gotta love computers [14:38] The_Explorer: Yes. [14:38] theadmin: Thankyou [14:38] is there an irc support channel [14:38] basttrax - LOL.thanks for the effort tho [14:38] what's the scheduled release date for 10.04? [14:38] Traveler0: Both [14:38] Freeaqingme: 29th April 2010 [14:38] kk, tnx [14:39] Is there an IRC support channel for Konversation [14:39] Traveler0: this one is running ubuntu [14:39] britany_okla: the closest place to ask stuff about kde apps would be #kde [14:40] Thank you [14:42] stronze, No problem! hehe === warriorforgod is now known as Guest17427 [14:42] theadmin great channel not one comment so far lol [14:43] britany_okla: XD Well, everyone is away or dead i guess [14:43] I am thinking dead lol [14:43] That damn IRC plague is going around ...

I have dual monitors and dont get that [14:46] purplebluesilver: He needs a flash player. Flash ain't convertable. [14:47] purplebluesilver: mplayer plays flv [14:47] purplebluesilver, Centos can download flash last time i checked [14:47] napoleao: Maybe there's some sticker on your monitor? Never heard of such things. [14:47] yeah [14:47] purplebluesilver: if it is a movie.. not a flash.. ahem.. whatever they are called.. executables? ie a game or some such [14:47] DaZ: I think he means an .swf [14:47] oh [14:47] yeah flash [14:47] lol [14:47] in the top corner, i have "Samsung 20" [14:47] theadmin, really? Once I download it I cant change it to mpg4 of avi or something?

[14:48] who knows how to make tomcat connect to mysql in ubuntu? [14:48] ffmpeg won't do it, probably because swf isn't a movie <: [14:48] i can show the screenshot if you want :) [14:49] napoleao, oh I believe you. lol [14:49] lol [14:49] napoleao, not that easiest thing to google :( [14:49] yes i tried [14:49] Anyone else have dual-screen setup?

[14:50] Hmm. napoleao, what have you done! [14:50] lol [14:51] what i did, was "detect monitors" [14:51] k [14:51] then it did detect the second monitor [14:52] hdon: have you tried lua5.1 ? [14:52] !info lua5.1 [14:52] is "Show displays in panel" checked in the display settings [14:52] bazhang i am too lazy too boot from cd [14:52] lua5.1 (source: lua5.1): Simple, extensible, embeddable programming language.

[14:54] never had problems with firestarter and internet connection sharing before. Today it isn't working. I have dhclient server/client setup. The connected computer finds an IP no problem, can ping the host, but cannot find the internet. ? [14:54] I checked it and it came up on mine [14:54] Slart, i'm aware. but for 5.1 i can't find a package that provides liblualib.a or liblualib.so [14:55] Hi there chaps. I am having wireless connection problems with my AR2413 using ath5k and networkmanager ubuntu 9.10. Network works very well until some point then it stops working. Network manager claims it is still connected. While I disconnect it manualy it won't be possible to connect again before reboot. It will ask for wpa key few times but nothing will connect. On the other laptop (next to not working [14:55] one) it works perfectly all the tim (running 9.10 as well but with different network card). I have tried to use madfiwi and wicd instead but I couldn't find any networks at all. Is there a known solution? It is being extremely annoying and makes laptop unusable. Please if anyone had the same problem to speak up. I have tried to google but found only exactly the same problem posted on forums by other people [14:55] but no solution were given. [14:55] crs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:55] Oh dear, didnt know it is gonna be that long. Sorry. :) [14:55] Vigo: since ubuntu remembers previous network interfaces.. the info is save in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:55] ok, Bastrax will try to restart, have not done that yet ;) [14:55] is mount.cifs missing from ubuntu 9.10 live CD? In other words, can it mount CIFS shares? [14:55] Slart: Thank you. [14:56] Vigo: *saved [14:56] napoleao, K. let me know how it goes. dont forget to uncheck the box first!

[15:10] hi man [15:10] Dear #ubuntu -- this was my answer to the question about my user friend with centos, bad flash, telling me it cant be done or go to centos. (I'm learning.) OK HERE IT IS. GOOGLE convert swf to avi linux ((I didnt know the term swf before I asked the QUESTION) [15:10] and lucky for me someone said I think he means swf so I looked it up. [15:12] tripelb: swf to avi? how can you convert something nonlinear/interactive to linear avi? [15:12] is there a way to set theme information via a shell script? [15:12] if so, can someone point me in the general direction? I don't think i need my hand held, i just don't know where to start... [15:13] Basttrax, usb-modeswitch this is what i think is needed to solve the issue, what do you think? [15:13] brontosaurusrex, you save the file. [15:13] I would like to configure toolbar placement, panels in the toolbars, etc [15:13] tripelb: ? [15:13] underdev, i think gnome has something like the MSWindows Registry that contains that info... maybe [15:13] WishingMaster, Yeah i would give it a try. I don't see any definate answers in google [15:14] hdon, ty [15:14] WishingMaster, Since it's more recent, i don't think there's a proper fix yet ;( sorry [15:14] yeah, i should have specified gnome desktop... [15:14] hello [15:14] brontosaurusrex, this one is probably windows but the idea is the same. E.M. Magic Swf2Avi is the extremely powerful Flash(swf) converter [15:14] software [15:14] which can convert SWF to AVI and other popular formats.

[16:19] cousteau, I am just about certain that xorg.conf takes care of that, however, you might want to get a second opinion on that [16:20] isn't xorg.conf empty since Hardy or so?

[16:26] yes, an LXDE-based version [16:26] I tried ubuntu netbook on my netbook, but it uses too many opengl things and doesn't work very well [16:27] mini- [16:27] (also, karmic takes a lot to boot, so I installed lubuntu lucid) [16:27] just to install what you want [16:27] cousteau, just redo your xorg with all options that should get everything working like it should and pop that option in their as well otherwise it might complain or mess up things which you might have to edit in rescue mode [16:28] cousteau: I did it in my imac and is awesome [16:28] maquetero-ppc: did what?

I've installed it a bunch of times and never had this problem. For whatever reason the installer won't install grub. The alternate cd gets to installing the grub boot loader and then says error installing the package grub-pc into /target/ and on the live cd it says configuring grub boot loader and then it reboots. When it starts it says Grub error: file not found. Any suggestions? [16:59] !lucid | mossy [16:59] mossy: 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 [16:59] hi...I created another user (pauluser) with desktop privileges..but when I try to log in right that, the system automatically logs out after 10seconds...any ideas? [16:59] That was my fault. [17:00] * mossy is sorry [17:00] mossy: no worries [17:00] \o/ [17:00] Wilabob: What version? [17:00] I guess I'll scoot on over there then [17:00] Vigo: 9.10 [17:01] Wilabob: do you have enough disk space on /target/ ? [17:01] Hello! I'm trying to get urbanterror running, but when I run it my mouse sticks to the bottom right. I can start moving it but then it keeps jumping back to the bottom right. Does anyone know how to fix this? [17:01] Wilabob: Is it standalone , or are there other OSs on the box? [17:04] rogue780: Is that a deb package or is it a Wine something? [17:04] Vigo, no. It's just a linux binary from urbanterror.net [17:05] hi...ubuntu won't keep logged in new users I add from my super-user, anyone have a clue? [17:05] rogue780: Do you have the Alien installed? [17:05] Hi. My Epson Stylus SX410 printer/scanner is not recognized as a scanner, neither by xsane nor by gscan2pdf. It is, however, listed as a supported device on sane-project.org which seems to be the underlying backend for scanners in linux (am I right?). What could be the problem? Do I have an outdated sane version on my Ubuntu 09.10? [17:06] Vigo: sorry was afk... It's a standalone and the hard drive has 160GB so I think thats enough [17:06] !alien| Vigo rogue780 [17:06] Vigo rogue780: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:06] ubuntu one syncing working for anyone? [17:06] Vigo: And I've installed on this machine a bunch of times before so I don't know why it's doing this [17:06] ardchoille, uh, was not using RPM files... [17:07] rogue780: just wanted you to know since Vigo asked if you had it installed [17:07] Wilabob: Yes, I was also looking at dagny_taggarts reply, let me look up some data... [17:07] oh, my bad. no I do not have alien installed. [17:08] anyone know how to load a modmap file at login? (unfortunately can't use .Xmodmap or similar, has to be via a script... the loading is conditional) [17:08] Wilabob: Grub error? you suppose or ,hrmmm [17:09] flyingtabmow: I put a script on /etc/X11/Xsession.d for something similar [17:09] flyingtabmow: see xmodmap's man page for syntax: xmodmap FILE [17:09] you can also add it to Startup Apps [17:09] Vigo: I don't know... It just started doing this recently. [17:09] hello did anybody was install ubuntu from external hard drive? [17:09] cousteau: i've tried that, but it seems to get clobbered... it doesn't stick around [17:10] rogue780: Alien can be a few things, binaries and such may need a package from the repository to work correctly. [17:10] cousteau: or did you put it after 99x11-common-start? [17:10] What is the default filesystem on / on a 9.10 install? [17:10] i was taking unetbootin but when process done i reboot and boot they told me no operanting sistem [17:10] flyingtabmow: actually, I put it on 50 or so [17:11] Noble: ext4 [17:11] hey - is there any way to netsend a windows box a message from ubuntu? [17:11] erUSUL: ty [17:11] are you using an absolute path for the file? [17:11] Wilabob: Welcome to Freedom! It is a bit of a learning curve, or forgetting curve, I am still looking that data up, i386 or 64bit? [17:12] Vigo: i386 [17:12] how do i search a file i need to fine gdm.conf gdm keeps freezing on my and i have to restart it so i want to enable debug [17:12] Vigo, I think it's an X configuration problem. I remember fixing this before by editing xorg.conf...but with the new ubuntu versions, there is no more xorg.conf really [17:12] cousteau: hmmm... something must be odd about my gnome setup, when it's low numbered like that it doesn't stick around (i've also tried adding it to startup applications, which many people online suggest, but that doesn't seem to work for me either, even though i know it's being run) [17:12] sine_: should be in /etc/ === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:12] flyingtabmow: are you using an absolute path for the file? because if you're using `xmodmap file` or `xmodmap ~/file` it will probably not work [17:12] nbr 10.4, any way to unlock the panel ? [17:12] Hekos_: #ubuntu+1 [17:12] ok of course that is where all the config files are stored. just out of curiosety how do i search for a file [17:13] cousteau: i've tried it both ways... it seems to run successfully, but then afterwards something else loads a different one i'm guessing [17:13] iceroot, k [17:13] sine_: use « locate » or « find » [17:13] thanks [17:13] Vigo: Actually, I think when I installed I used the 9.04 disk then updated :S [17:14] flyingtabmow: or add something like `bash -c 'sleep 10 && xmodmap FILE'` to your startup apps [17:14] (without the backticks) [17:14] cousteau: cool i'll try that, thanks [17:14] mneptok: [17:15] Hello everyone from a new ubunter! :) [17:15] realised I can't format my comp yet well that was awkward [17:15] Wilabob: Ahh, that helps, a little, still looking,,, [17:15] ubuntu one syncing working for anyone? [17:15] could i ask something? :D [17:16] Enkk, please do otherwise this channel is pointless [17:16] what is the config file for gdm [17:17] Pirate_Hunter: hey just FYI I was unsuccessful in recovering data with testdisk. It did recover the partitions though.. [17:17] i cant seem to find one [17:17] Wilabob: Secondary HDD or a single unit? [17:17] switch10_, I see, was it because you repartitioned first or because the data had been overwritten? [17:17] sine_: What are you wanting to do? [17:17] Vigo: It has two HDD but I'm using the primary one [17:18] i want to kno why gdm keeps freezing and i lost my work [17:18] Wilabob: This might be it: > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1445095 [17:18] so, i have a logitect webcam and i would like to found some drivers for it [17:18] switch10_, I am curious to know what went wrong [17:18] someone suggested turning on debug mode so i can read whats happening [17:19] but i don't know what version it is [17:19] so, how can i discover it? [17:19] What should I set the permissions to on /var/www/mydomain.com ??? [17:19] after installing 9.10 server it can't find any boot medium -- I booted into rescue mode and there's nothing inside of /boot -- any ideas why that may be? [17:19] Enkk: webcam drivers are usually not needed [17:19] Pirate_Hunter: I think it was because I repartitioned. I think it may have worked if I had just deleted the partition and not written over it with a new one. test # 2 I guess :) [17:19] Maletor: I suggest leaving them as they are so the server can do what it needs to do === No12Day is now known as No13Day [17:19] just open cheese and try to see if it works [17:19] Maletor, give permission to www-data and yourself [17:20] Ok. [17:20] Vigo: Nah, didn't help [17:20] cousteau, is not that easy, i already tried but it doesn't work. It stays "on" for like 20 seconds, then the imagine turns black [17:20] switch10_, will wait for test 2, if you wouldn't mind could you write your results in the forum, I'll be able to read exactly what you did and how you did it [17:21] Pirate_Hunter: I want to test it on a failed HDD, but i need to find one first. [17:21] Enkk: maybe if you wait a bit... my cam looks black until it gets good light [17:21] crankharder: maybe corrupt disk ? [17:21] (installer medium) [17:21] Pirate_Hunter: yeah I will document the next test in a post [17:21] Wilabob: Are you upgrading or doing a fresh install over an older version? [17:22] ubuntu one syncing working for anyone? [17:22] Vigo: Fresh install [17:22] cousteau i waited for about 30 min :p [17:22] and also, it doesn't work in emesene. [17:22] jmcantrell: yes. are you unable to connect? [17:22] Vigo: Well actually there was another ubuntu on it but I erased it and then installed this one [17:22] switch10_, just make your hdd fail I bet you can find ways to do so online without actually breaking it, I know a while back I found one to test how many writes you can do on a usb before it completely fail lol, wonder if it cna be changed to hd instead but you may not be able to recover it afterwards :s [17:22] DasEi: my ubuntu disk or the hard drive? [17:23] webcams stopped working on MSN when they changed the protocol, I think [17:23] crankharder: the cd, did you verify the d/l and the cd itself ? [17:23] whats a decent 'home' icon, other than lil houses? [17:23] jmcantrell, no clue don't use it, yet [17:23] switch10_: it connects, but nothing syncs. [17:23] Wilabob: Ok, that may matter, I am still reading a few Documents,,,, [17:24] cousteau, so one one is able to use it? [17:24] cousteau, webcams work on empathy with msn, you might need to use the package from the ppa [17:24] jmcantrell: have you tried removing the config file? rm .config/ubuntuone [17:24] Pirate_Hunter: dunno, the webcam support was dropped from aMSN since the protocol changed [17:24] brontosaurusrex, home icon can be whatever you want even a head or a picture of yourself [17:25] switch10_: i guess i can try that. [17:25] cousteau, oh amsn errrrh haven't touched that in a while I thought it wasn't being supported anymore [17:25] well i know that emesene introduced the webcam only in lastest versions [17:25] Wilabob: This is the Official Document on that:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation , about middle page is : Installing on external or RAID hard disks [17:26] ..؟ [17:26] Pirate_Hunter: it is, they released 0.98.3 a while ago... it even supported audio/video conversations on 0.98.1 before the protocols were changed [17:26] Wilabob, just did a server install with raid and lvm I might be able to help, what is your problem? [17:27] what isn't moving is that aMSN2 thing [17:27] also emesene2 is going to be up [17:27] Pirate_Hunter: I'm not doing a server install. The problem is that grub won't install [17:27] cousteau, oh didn't know but what is wrong with using the app provided by ubuntu empathy is doing great with video support i've tested it, however, not recently [17:28] Wilabob, stick with lilo for raid I still havent managed to get grub working, lilo is simple [17:28] well, maybe they fixed it, but I think it might have also stopped working there [17:28] Wilabob, and did you put boot in raid1 otherwise it wont boot the system which is a pain [17:28] Pirate_Hunter: Can I do that without reinstalling? [17:29] If you have a PC running Linux, is it still a PC? [17:29] hello, anyone here worked on iptables? [17:29] Pirate_Hunter: I don't know.. [17:29] "Voice and video call using SIP, XMPP, Google Talk and MSN." - I thought aMSN was the only with voice support... [17:29] i`ll rephrase; anyone worked on any project related to iptables? [17:29] Pirate_Hunter: I was running grub before but I needed to reinstall and now it's not working. [17:29] thechef: PC= personal computer. no matter what the apple commercials tell you... [17:29] thechef: what else ?ß sure [17:29] Pirate_Hunter: Wilabob stated earlier is rather new at Ubuntu. [17:30] switch10: /agree [17:30] thechef: so yes. an apple is a personal computer as well... [17:30] Wilabob, that I ain't too sure but if it is a clean install reinstalling shouldn't be a problem, however, you may want to wait for soemone who can help you fixing that without reinstallinh [17:30] is there an alternative to iTunes for Ubuntu that would let me sync my iPod touch to my computer? [17:30] Vigo: Alright... what guide do you want me to follow? How do you know I have a RAID HDD [17:30] well, maybe I'm wrong and the protocol change only affects aMSN [17:30] !ipod | frxstrem [17:30] okay, then some game publishers and apple must be weird [17:31] frxstrem: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [17:31] Vigo, oh didnt read that [17:31] !ipod | frxstrem [17:31] Wilabob, you had grub running earlier with raid and it booted the system before you had to reinstall? [17:31] Pirate_Hunter: It was stated earlier, all good. === stefano_p is now known as stefano_ [17:32] any1 know a good CDburning program? [17:32] Vigo, ok i missed it oh well will be more helpful if I can [17:32] k3b [17:32] Wilabob: Do you know if you used the LVM? [17:32] frxstrem: yes I wrote a how to with a vid.. http://u-bunted.blogspot.com/ === stefano_ is now known as _stefano [17:33] Vigo, that is what I was think but they said grub was working and I would assume just like the server version lilo would be chosen as the boot loader instead of grub === _stefano is now known as stefano_palazzo [17:33] Vigo: I don't know what that is... :S === cpdstudio_ is now known as No13Day [17:33] Lord_Chewbakka, depends on you but brasero, gnome-baker are all good [17:33] well, will any of those methods work on a not jailbroken iPod touch/iPhone? [17:33] hello...anybody know the channel for windows user? [17:33] ety: ##windows ? :f [17:33] frxstrem: see my link.. [17:33] switch10_: yes I did [17:34] Pirate_Hunter: currently on xcdroast, but it wont work, is brasero good? [17:34] Wilabob, lets start from the start what exactly happened, what tutorial did you follow to install ubuntu on raid, since at the moment I am going in circles [17:34] frxstrem: it works great on a non jailboken ipod touch.. I have done many for friends. [17:34] Wilabob: Okee dokee, Large Volume Manager [17:34] Lord_Chewbakka, they are all good depending on what you mean by good, brasero don't work for me but gnome-baker does with the patch [17:34] switch10_: alright, I'll try it [17:35] Pirate_Hunter: how come it doesnt work, only work with sum disbs? [17:35] Da2: thanx [17:36] Lord_Chewbakka, it all depends on your system but try them and see which is betetr for you [17:36] ... [17:36] Pirate_Hunter: sure, i mean what could be used as a symbol really, found greek 'theta' [17:36] Vigo: I tried the alternate cd and the live cd. I used the live cd last. I followed the instructions and chose Guided - use entire disk. I also tried manual and made a seperate /boot partition but that didn't work either. The installation went through, got to 95% and then said configuring boot loader and restarted. [17:37] Pirate_Hunter: thank maan [17:37] Hello, how can I deactivate network access for wine ? [17:37] brontosaurusrex, sorry I lost you... [17:37] Wilabob: Ah, Thank you, I believe that Pirate_Hunter and I can assist you better now,,,, [17:38] lydia: i do not think you can do that easily [17:38] how can i setup my ATI Radeon ? [17:38] Pirate_Hunter: nm [17:38] !ati | magicvibes [17:38] magicvibes: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:38] one second compiz recognizes and produces good quality gui effects, next second it tell me not supported graphics [17:39] Vigo: I'm in the alternate cd right now, and I'm at Partition disks, should I choose anything different than I did before? [17:39] Is there a way to instruct xdg-open to invoke vlc to open mms:// urls? Chrome is using xdg-open to open streaming ASF files, but Totem doesn't know how to understand them while VLC does. [17:39] Pirate_Hunter: brasero worked like a charm! awsome! [17:40] Wilabob, if the first time you chose full install and the second time you partitioned a section for boot it wont work I had the same issue had to literally wipe the disk to zero and clear mbr before redoing the process again [17:40] Wilabob: Not really, just select Use Entire Disk, what Pirate_Hunter said is important also. [17:41] Wilabob, for soem reason once raid is chosen you can't undo the partitions unless the disk is wiped I found that quite strange [17:41] Pirate_Hunter: I never chose raid. So how do I wipe the mbr? [17:42] Pirate_Hunter: soft raid ? you can edit the md device, but if you do other then resize, data gets lost same as in standard hd [17:42] can someone tell me how to disable the screen lockout? [17:43] coachj: scrrensaver ? [17:43] Wilabob, you never chose raid, sorry, so why did you try to create a boot partition, what went wrong the first time [17:43] DasEi, ok [17:44] Pirate_Hunter: Old bios and I had windows in the seccond partition. [17:44] DasEi:::yes after a few minutes it goes to a blank screen then requires the password to get back in [17:44] does ubuntu have a built in partition tool? [17:44] Pirate_Hunter: I started this whole thing so that I could get rid of windows... [17:44] Hello, my panels freeze, after boot, intermittently. Once, I boot, they are ok, an other time, they freeze, and when they freeze, I have to reboot and hope that they will not be frozen after boot. How can I fix it? Ubuntu 9.04 64bit Gnome. [17:44] Lord_Chewbakka: yup- gparted [17:44] Wilabob, I think a reinstall is in order otherwise you can try fixing grub yourself [17:44] !grub | Wilabob [17:44] Wilabob: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:45] !gparted | Lord_Chewbakka [17:45] Lord_Chewbakka: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [17:45] coachj: system > preferences > screensaver [17:45] DasEi:: Oh my I didn't see it....WOW [17:45] igoryonya, you can start by reading the logs in /var/log/ for problems i.e. dmesg, sys.log, message and kernel [17:46] coachj: you'll find it there [17:46] Pirate_Hunter: Thing is I've reinstalled like 4 or 5 times since deleting windows and it has never worked, It always has the same grub error. [17:46] I think my installation issue is that the grub installer thinks my boot HD is hd0 -- when it's actually sde. I'm still in the installer, dropped to a shell and there's no menu.lst in side of /boot/grub -- where can I edit this? [17:46] DasEi: got it LOL [17:46] crankharder: karmic ? [17:47] 9.10 [17:47] crankharder: is karmic, it uses grub2 now, the config changed, file to edit is /etc/default/grub, but.. [17:47] wtf is this [17:48] crankharder: I didn't get your whole question/issue [17:48] escalador_: ? [17:48] ubottu: do i have to restart and wait for boot, because if i shut down my computer it crashes? [17:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:48] guys i was mkfs'ing my external hard drive, and i accidently closed the terminal, now not even dmesg will see the drive [17:48] sry i choose the wrong channel [17:48] did I kill my drive or can i fix it? [17:48] DasEi: i think it's trying to boot to hd0 and not sde (which is where i choose to install to) [17:48] ...it's done this before [17:48] Lord_Chewbakka: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot [17:48] hi [17:48] and the wrong server xD [17:48] had to manually change it because the installer screws up [17:48] lol [17:48] !brain > Lord_Chewbakka [17:48] Lord_Chewbakka, please see my private message [17:48] If I wanted to go to a them that looked more like the them on 9.10 which one would i select? [17:48] DasEi: I don't see hd0 or sde in that config file [17:49] Theme* === Darky is now known as zz_Darky [17:49] Wilabob, boot livecd follow the instructions in this link http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_wipe_a_hard_drive_clean_in_Linux it even gives you the command to wipe mbr. I think its best to start with a clean hd also you might want to check for any issue with ubuntu and your board, however I very much doubt it [17:49] DasEi: im such a noob [17:49] so can I fix my drive? [17:50] DasEi: I'm looking for what used to be /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:50] Lord_Chewbakka: np, everybody got it's pros n lacks [17:50] Wilabob: Yes, what Pirate_Hunter said, this is an older post, it is relevant to the issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=752939&highlight=wipe+disk [17:50] Pirate_Hunter: what's the command to see last few lines in the log? [17:51] tail -f [17:51] crankharder: it is a complete new grub now, see : [17:51] !grub2 [17:51] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:51] crankharder, that has changed with grub2... to get a better idea about this you may want to visit the #grub channel [17:51] igoryonya, tail / tail -100 to see the last 100 lines but I would stick with less which shows you everything [17:51] DasEi: understood, some day il be leet you see ;D [17:52] maverickapollo, tail -f is useful when spotting error or checking what programs are doing [17:52] crankharder, its all script driven now [17:52] !best_bot [17:53] Ratso, I forgot the command, that is bad [17:53] crankharder: so whole story is you have grub installed on first hd and want it to boot another hd ? [17:53] Lord_Chewbakka, you'll never be leet there is no such thing where always learning something new or how to do something we already knew a different way [17:53] can you revert the ifuse command?

I host my own output on my own server if I need to share it with somone. Pastebinit is not needed for me. [18:47] coachj: need more hel to bring it to that form ? [18:47] I searched all over google.. could find lots on dual boot on one drive just couldnt find on multiple hds .. I knew this would be the place to ask [18:48] i know i have a splitter and i can't find it, however i found something else that I was looking for earlier [18:48] eremite: where should I look for it ?????? http://xchat-gnome.navi.cx/wp-content/uploads/2006/01/irc-prefs.png [18:48] eremite: yes, but is why whatis doesn't work then, but repo-search does [18:48] hi first irc chat of my life, i'm having problems with docky. where should i go? [18:48] DasEi: apt-cache search . <--- this gets a list of cache'd apps available, not what is installed. [18:49] guys does any body use compaq presario 2100 ????????????????????????????????????? [18:49] Ive been using linux distros off and on for many years .. the newest distros have finnaly gotten close enuff to really give desktop non techs a alternative to win and mac [18:49] DasEi: Trying now [18:50] nrgeek: that's cool right [18:50] nrgeek: Linux is the elite! [18:50] eremite: yes, but a cached info , so almost current repo-content, giving you the info without being installed, whereas .. [18:51] StevenR: Have you looked at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [18:51] eremite: you're freezing cool right too :) [18:51] Mandrake was pretty good .. but ubuntu is the bomb ..

[18:53] bahaa: just get rid of xchat-gnome and use xchat. Its in the software center and repos. If you cannot figure out how to use an application then I suggest you use a different one. XCHat (not xchat-gnome) is better and you should see the usr list no problem. [18:53] eremite: are we two pasties ?? hehe, nv.m : apt-cache search pastebinit (needs no sudo) [18:53] StevenR: I saw a lot of posts in the Forums that suggested that site for Screen Resolution issues, still looking in Official Documentation and User Contributed,,,, [18:54] !info pastebinit | eremite [18:54] eremite: ok thanks [18:54] eremite: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

Please use full sentences or rephrase it using different words. [18:54] Anyone here from WV or Chattanooga , TN ? [18:54] DasEi: ignore that last on e [18:54] eremite: but today I was talking to some guys and they said "thanks god we don't use xchat"?? what do you think?

The ONLY difference between the apps is the GUI which was designed for gnome, but if you use the non gnome version you will still be able to have it integrate with your theme because it is based on gtk. Trust me, its better. If you cant find out how to do a simple thing l;ike see the user list of a room then you need a different client which is easier to use. [18:56] bahaa: wait, idk. the orange one lol [18:57] thanks eremite [18:57] patrickgleason: what do you mean man??????? [18:57] bahaa: "When xchat-gnome was first written, we stuck the user list in the main UI, just like we were all used to. It was in a different spot, but it seemed natural that it should be there. As we used it more, we realized something. In order to be useful, the user list was taking up a lot of space, but we were rarely even looking at it. And so, it got hidden behind a button, and pops up. This gives us several advantages, but one in par [18:57] bahaa: the xchat I use has an orange icon. above that, I dont know which one it is lol [18:58] bahaa: there are many pros and contras for messengers, take a look at pidgin, evolution, xchat, irrsi maybe, and see what fits your needs best, there are lots more [18:58] PatrickGleason: xchat and xchat gnome are slightly different, visually. [18:58] eremite: you are totally right; and I like the way you are talking in(we) [18:59] dasei: I use pidgin for messenger but for irs I like xchat-gnome but I just want to see the users once :( [18:59] bahaa: just press the user list button!!!! [19:00] eremite: ok got it [19:00] bahaa: as I remember you can configure gnome-xchat to diplay user list [19:00] eremite: haha [19:00] dasei: it's in front of me but I thought it just was a number sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry guys :( [19:00] has anyone had any experiance adding the cricket a600 [19:01] hi [19:01] bahaa: bahahaah, np [19:01] kj [19:01] somone using smuxi can help me joining the #docky channel?

I'm sure there are more important things to do like improve the stuff that people really need for jobs and the like but I just had to say it. The masses demanded me too.

What can I check next? [20:36] what will i need to do after that for them both to show up on some bootloader? [20:36] gnea: soo i'm stuck ? [20:37] wade: no, that's why you need to run that command to find out what version is installed. if it's the wrong one, the fix will be easy. if it's not, the fix will be difficult. [20:37] is there any reason why when trying to boot from liveCD (9.10) it hangs after choosing either to install or try ubuntu?

[20:54] orb01, try a shell that cycles through filenames when you use tab completition, then keep on hitting tab until the file comes around (if there are fewer than like 20 files) [20:54] guntbert: ips are public as well. [20:54] but...will it divide the workload between the 4 processors? [20:54] <`Jack> Gnea, this is against my consumer rights :) [20:54] <`Jack> if my ISP blocked my port [20:54] `Jack: what is? :) [20:54] <`Jack> Gelfling, no, I stopped it when I saw that the ports are down [20:54] <`Jack> I erased the archive too. [20:55] `Jack, Im trying to connect to it now... [20:55] maco: you say acpi -b it's wrong? [20:55] <`Jack> knoppies, will be timed out. [20:55] <`Jack> on port 80 [20:55] `Jack: if they think you're using bittorrent, then perhaps it's not against your rights [20:55] Ganymede: that's the problem, it displays the files in Dolphin e.g., but I can't open them through there. The filename contains ? characters, and find nor rename can't find them [20:55] `Jack, did you change the ports? [20:55] armor-64: it seems that there are problems recognizing your hardware - please try to lookup your notebook on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [20:55] orb01, or try copying them into new files: something like: for i in *; do cp -iv "$i" $(uuidgen); done [20:55] <`Jack> Gelfling, I changed only the ssh port. that's all. [20:55] armor-64: im saying it sounds like the kernel doesnt know whats going on with your battery [20:55] HowardtheDuck: i know that x264 will encode in 12 threds on quad core, dunno about mencoder, since this is a pack of gazzilion thingies [20:55] gnea: anything else i should try [20:55] <`Jack> Gnea, bittorrent doesn't use port 80. they know that. [20:55] guntbert: ok!thanks [20:55] `Jack, sorry but i can't help you. =( [20:56] `Jack: you seem to miss the point. [20:56] `Jack, actually getting unknown host. What port were you using for your IRC server? [20:56] maco: dunno!what should i do? [20:56] <`Jack> knoppies, 6667 [20:56] <`Jack> default one [20:56] orb01, that will make copies of the file with new filenames [20:56] armor-64: file a bug. "ubuntu-bug linux" [20:56] <`Jack> it's closed that too. [20:56] `Jack, did you have something (like a web server) running on port 80? [20:56] <`Jack> knoppies, just a website made with drupal [20:56] armor-64: also, give a 10.04 live cd a try. see if lucid may have already fixed it [20:57] just randomise the port like use 51413 [20:57] `Jack, using no-ip (and probably some others) you can avoid using the default ports. [20:57] <`Jack> I don't care about the irc server, I just need the port 80 . [20:58] <`Jack> So.. my ISP could block those ports, right ? [20:58] maco: i i give a try with the newest Ubuntu and see what's happening!if it's not working i send an e-mail!can i contact with irc with them? [20:58] `Jack, in theory, but Im not sure why they would. [20:58] <`Jack> knoppies, me either.. [20:59] armor-64: not email. file a bug on http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs [20:59] `Jack, you want to try port 80 redirect using no-ip? [20:59] armor-64: if you do it with the "ubuntu-bug linux" command from the live cd, it'll include lots of debugging info automatically for the kernel developers, and that'll help fix it faster [21:00] <`Jack> "using no-iP" ? i'm a little bit more noob in linux .. [21:00] <`Jack> :) [21:00] maco: ok i see what i can do!thanks for the help [21:00] no-ip is a website that hands out subdomains for free. They have a paid service as well but You dont have to pay for this service. [21:00] armor-64: good luck :) [21:00] <`Jack> how is your router set? [21:00] <`Jack> brontosaurusrex, I don't have a router. [21:01] brontosaurusrex, no router, its an Optic Fiber connection. [21:01] <`Jack> knoppies, I have a free subdomain on my ip from afraid.org [21:01] <`Jack> that could be a problem for port 80 ? [21:01] `Jack, do they do port redirection? [21:01] `Jack, not unless you only tried to connect to your webserver with their subdomain, if you used your IP then it shouldnt haffect it. [21:01] <`Jack> knoppies, I don't think so .. I have 3 servers with subdomains from there and I don't have problems. [21:01] <`Jack> just on that one [21:03] HELP! I updated my Hardy Heron and I lost the entry for my Windows XP in the menu.lst file. [21:03] <`Jack> I'm out of ideas. I tried everything. [21:03] `Jack, is your webserver running now? [21:03] How can i see what my cd drive can support [21:03] <`Jack> knoppies, yes, but only for me as I can say [21:03] folder of a windows client computer to be mounted on my ubuntu server. that folder is on a non -administrative user. i had to do it as a Share folder for all users since if i did it other way it won let me..any help..this is the command that i ended using, were the F folder is the share for all users. sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx //192.168.1.105/F /home/rgotten/FrontDesk.Windows [21:03] `Jack, I got one. just hang in there. [21:03] <`Jack> for users from the same network. [21:03] hi guys i was wondering if there was anyway to setup a remote desktop, so that multiple users connecting get a different one, and someone who is using the computer already gets one as well, that way there can be multiple user sessions, also so that i can like resize the viewers window and the resolution changes as well,(like virtual pc but with a remote system) [21:03] kde 4.4 seems to run slower and not as smooth as the default gnome on 9.10 [21:03] `Jack, could that be the problem? [21:04] <`Jack> the subdomain ? [21:04] kevin_: http://tinycorelinux.com/forum/index.php?topic=459.0 may help [21:04] `Jack, that only users on the same network can connect to it. All this time Ive been under the impression that your server was connected to the internet. Something tells me its not. [21:04] suboptimal routing experience [21:05] Does any1 know if I can install the 64bit version of ubuntu on a system that has 32bit installed without having to run a fresh install? Just looking 4 a way 2 upgrade without having to lose all my files and programs I have installed... [21:05] <`Jack> knoppies, it is. I'm sure of this. :) [21:05] hey peeps I have an OT question: my laptop is connected to an external monitor. The laptop's display is broken. Can IO just cut the cord connecting the laptop's display and only use the external? [21:05] what's the openssl-devel package called now? [21:05] <`Jack> knoppies, can I contact you in 20 minutes ? I will go to that apartment. and I will tell you more infos. [21:05] cliffhanger, dont think its possible. Most of the files you want to keep will be in your home directory anyway. [21:06] `Jack, if you think it will help. I should still be here in 20minutes. [21:06] I have a basic USB keyboard that shows up in lsusb, but isn't recognized by the splash screen. Any ideas on where I can start looking for what's wrong?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [21:08] what's the openssl-devel package called now? [21:08] gbramwell, I read it the first time. Please dont repeat it so quickly. You could check that USB legacy support is enabled in your BIOS, other than that I have NO IDEA. === gary_ is now known as Guest3357 [21:09] hi [21:10] Not sure where to ask this. Just bought a micro usb cable for use as a data cable for my phone. Turns out that it is a charging cable only. Damn sales rep lied to me when asked about it. Anyway, I saw something on a google search one time about getting charging cables to work as a data cable. Anyone have any experience with that, or know where I should ask? === maple1 is now known as ccnz [21:11] kkerwin, other than google (or maybe even the ubuntu forums) no. I think the only difference would be that the data cable has more copper connections than the charging one, so I would assume you just add a few. But then Im sucking my thumb. [21:12] knoppies: Thanks. Saw something about just a driver, so not even a hardware solution. Definitely confused, also. [21:12] hey guys, i was running a mv command in an ssh window to move a ton of data from one server to another over nfs ~1.5tb [21:12] and I got disconnected [21:13] i see that the mv is still in top [21:13] kkerwin, hmm, Have you tried to use it as a data cable (without doing any modifications)? [21:13] knoppies: Device doesn't even show up in lsusb. [21:13] so i think the command is still running, is there any way to still be able to see the output/reconnect to the command [21:14] hey, transmission says my "port is closed" , don't get it. sometimes it is, sometimes it isnt. last night it was open and fast as hell, today its closed and pretty slow. whats up? [21:14] kkerwin, I think we have exhausted my knowledge on this. I hope you find a solution. That does sound interesting though. [21:14] i can see the user is still logged in and running the command if i type w or who [21:14] whorush, is something else using the port? [21:14] knoppies: Thanks for your help, anyways! :-) [21:14] kkerwin, my pleasure. [21:15] knoppies, ya know its some port up there like 57416, i doubt it? besides i've tried a bunch of ports that are all closed. [21:16] whorush, The next thing I would suggest is investigating any firewalls (maybe even your router) but I dont even know how to use iptables. [21:16] Hmmmh, does anyone here have Steam client running under wine? [21:16] yeah it could be the ubuntu firewall? [21:16] whorush, dont know. [21:16] whorush, assuming ubuntu has one by default, its possible. [21:17] thanks, anyone else know how to unblock my port in transmission? [21:17] sometimes my port is blocked, sometimes it isnt === goingtomoonbrb is now known as goingtoceresbbl [21:18] guys, how would I make a window appear on X from ssh [21:18] like run a gnome app from ssh but make it appear on the real gnome [21:19] compgenius, X of your host or client?

I know how to set up an X server on windows and then use that. [21:21] I only have 2gb of space [21:21] compgenius: and not have it show up on your window machine at all? because VNC or remote desktop may be your best bet [21:22] Desktop effects could not be enabled [21:22] maco: VNC is slow.

Stick that comany's game into google. [21:25] dv5-1235dx this is hp laptop [21:25] dv5-1235dx this is hp laptop [21:25] gerber: the GRAPHICS CARD's company like nvidia [21:26] People help.

I mean all deps as in all of them whether they are already installed or not. So I can make a custom set of repository disks. [22:00] ok jzacsh [22:01] bt y [22:01] how to create a voip server and make free call for all over world mobile phones inclued? [22:01] bidhu: I say this, because I just relized you said something to me -- because it wasn't hilihgted [22:01] LinuxGuy2009: /var/cache/apt there are all deps going you installed, also you can use apt-get -d to just download a package (have a look at man apt-get) [22:01] jzacsh ....nut i asked that to you [22:02] Does anybody know a thing about where to get help with QFileDialog preferences? [22:02] bidhu: because that's the convention for IRC :) ... most clients do it that way because that's the way it is :) twitter uses @ [22:02] bidhu: so, ubuntu is on your laptop -- now what's the "mobile" you mentioned ealier (and the samsung device you mentioned)? [22:02] User preferences, not developer or application prefs.... [22:02] it's a free world even online [22:03] jzacsh......its samsung B3410 [22:03] jzacsh, you know how you have to put (hd0,0) or something like that in the menu.lst file. well i don't remember which one my XP installation is.

My xorg.conf : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/197026/ xorg.log : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/197025/ any ideas ? [22:04] How do I allow www-data to write a socket file to /tmp ??? [22:04] blackkheim, fdisk -l doesnt do anything [22:04] kevin_: run it as root [22:04] sudo [22:04] kevin_: I think the last time I did it I just tried a few different combinations [22:04] kevin_: sudo fdisk -l [22:04] i have ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala , can i upgrade to netbok remix ? [22:04] netbook* [22:04] makkalot, have you tried envyNB? [22:04] he jzacsh [22:04] NG* [22:04] how to create a voip server and make free call for all over world mobile phones inclued? [22:05] Ali_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix [22:05] bidhu: yes, you have a samsung b3410 -- what is that? [22:05] is apt-get the same is aptitude? [22:05] as aptitude* [22:05] fabio_: first you have to win shedload of cash to make it free [22:05] fabio_: are you certain that this is an ubuntu support question? [22:05] SmaSh2: apt-get is apt-get aptitude is aptitude [22:05] its a mobile [22:05] SmaSh2: aptitude is smarter and handles dependencies better [22:06] phone? [22:06] thanks ! [22:06] SmaSh2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptitude_%28software%29 [22:06] blakkheim, jzacsh, guntbert, ok well now i know that its dev/sda1, but i dont know (hdx,x) does that mean 0,0? [22:06] or maybe hd(0,1) [22:06] ? [22:06] jzacsh........ [22:06] kevin_: yes, i believe so [22:06] kevin_: 0 0 [22:06] costre: no i didnt what is it ? [22:06] kevin_: are you on grub or grub2? [22:06] grub1 [22:06] blakkheim: no. they use the same f***ing database. [22:07] kevin_: but its not hda, its sd [22:07] poincare101: i didn't say anything about the database, calm down [22:07] jzacsh: doesn't matter in grub [22:07] blakkheim: apt-get and aptitude use the same database from which they gather dependencies [22:07] bye jzacsh [22:07] poincare101: yes, and? [22:07] Nobody use Ubuntu with Asus Eee PC 701? [22:07] bidhu: I'm having a tough time understanding you. what is a "mobile". in the US that can mean a mobile phone, or a netbook [22:07] will t ry to solve it on my own [22:07] makkalot, It's a program to install and config graphics drivers. It helpsout a lot most of the time [22:07] bidhu: bye [22:07] how to add new hard ? [22:08] kevin_: /dev/sda1 would be (hd0,0) then (in grub) [22:08] OK, my XP installation is "dev/sda1/". What do I put where for the numbers (hdx,x) [22:08] blakkheim: so, one cannot handle dependencies better than the other. [22:08] guntbert thanks [22:08] poincare101: aptitude handles dependencies better than apt-get, despite them using the same database. [22:08] jzacsh:ya thats a mobile phone.......with which i wana connect internet [22:09] bidhu: tethering? [22:09] thanks for the help you guys [22:09] jzacsh:on my laptop running ubuntu..............now u got me.........:) [22:09] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [22:09] how to add new hard ? [22:10] how to creAte new hard ? [22:10] jzacsh: why tithering [22:10] poincare101: because aptitude keeps track of what it installed as dependency only - so when you remove the depending app the dependecies get removed too [22:10] <_romeo_> i need to use my ubuntu to use the credentials my ldap server provides ... how can i do that ? [22:10] blakkheim: ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [22:11] <_romeo_> experts please help [22:11] <_romeo_> i need to use my ubuntu to use the credentials my ldap server provides ... how can i do that ? [22:12] bidhu: I don't know anything about tethering (never had to do it) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering [22:12] is there a way, in lucid, to make the maximize, minimize and close buttons go back to the right side of the window? [22:12] robinetd: yeap there is a command for that [22:12] cutiyar: can you elaborate? [22:12] robinetd: yes but this is not a channel for lucid support [22:13] hey [22:13] i installed [22:13] lucid lynx [22:13] everything works now [22:13] If I use aptitude in a TTY to remove all of gnome and install KDE as my main desktop, can I later use the live CD to reinstall gnome or do the gnome packages have to be downloaded again to install? [22:13] robinetd: go to #ubuntu+1 [22:13] youtube doesn't lagg with compiz, and i can play war sow [22:14] <_romeo_> i need to log into ubuntu using the ldap authentication .... through the login screen ... how can i do that ? [22:14] so.... i'm ripping my hair out because of this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9062889#post9062889 Can I make a normal install, create my LVs and migrate the existing data over to the new LVs? [22:14] karan that means taht u have an ATI card :P [22:14] karan: awesome! i have yet to use lucid -- try to write on one line [22:14] its the same like i had [22:14] yes [22:14] absoloutly [22:15] Can anyone recommend a Ubuntu small laptop with good battery life? [22:15] linux ftw [22:15] CastleFox, eeepc [22:15] CastleFox: Dell sells with Ubuntu preinstalled. [22:16] for those who still use karmic and want to play games and use compiz with a ATI card [22:16] CastleFox: worked will for me on an acer aspire one. [22:16] they can add this ppa http://ppa.launchpad.net/k0ekk0ek/ppa/ubuntu [22:16] How do I allow www-data to write a socket file to /tmp ??? [22:16] CastleFox, using just command line and low backlight settings i can get like 7 hrs out of my laptop [22:16] What version off eee ? [22:16] 1005 [22:16] 1005ha i think === No13Day is now known as Bumboo [22:17] i can't find any mention of an irc channel for chrome... does anyone know if one exists? [22:18] /msg alis list *chrome* [22:18] wadda ^^ [22:18] wadda: I was trying to get into #chrome the other day and it is +k [22:18] yeah is there a channel for google android? 0o [22:18] karan: #android [22:19] karan, use the line i showed to find channels... just change *chrome* to *what-you-are-looking-for* [22:19] does anyone here use eclipse to play with the android development tools? [22:19] I'm having trouble getting an iPod Nano (2nd gen) to work properly in Ubuntu. It will show up under Places > Computer, but Rhythmbox, Banshee, GtkPod, and Hipo don't recognize it. [22:19] yeah [22:19] #android [22:19] is not a channel [22:19] karan: Well it is, but not for the Google Chrome browser [22:19] guyz guyz guyz [22:19] listen [22:19] im gonna [22:19] go to the windows [22:19] xchat [22:19] karan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:19] n piss [22:20] karan: http://developer.android.com/resources/community-more.html [22:20] I do not want anything to write log files. [22:20] -alis- #android 361 :Welcome to the official Android-platform IRC channel! [22:20] sorry floodbot [22:20] Whaich thind should I disable in order to do that? [22:20] nope doesn't exist.... [22:21] Salva1: a lot of programs write log files. why don't you want log files produced? [22:22] can i speak now? [22:22] karan: you can speak, just all on one line [22:22] Salva1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles [22:22] karan, have you registered with freenode? you can't join certain channels without registering first [22:22] To keep the hard disk inactive as much as psible. [22:22] in the #WINDOWS channel they are pissed at me [22:22] i told them ubuntu was the best [22:23] YOU LEGEND. [22:23] Unable to get WPA settings working for my wifi card. Getting link is not ready error message. [22:23] karan, we try not to start feuds in here [22:23] windows is best for gaming tho :p [22:23] :( [22:23] You are right karan, still you shouldn't use one line per word ;-) [22:23] karan: it's not nice to bring up off-topic topics in other channels like that. [22:23] I'm using Firestarter, In "Active Connections" it's showing a connection to port 1 tcpmux,,but it doesnt show up in netstat . [22:24] How can I be sure this is accurate ? [22:24] I think I might get this one and put ubuntu on it OUT-COLD [22:24] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322PYWM/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=pc [22:24] Salva1: I'm curious, why? are you getting warnings that the disk is bad? [22:25] CastleFox, sounds like a good idea... just ummm get any color but black. [22:25] No, but I ant to do as much as posible to not to wear as posible. [22:25] lol dont like black ? [22:25] bad for prints [22:25] I do not want a hard disk crash. [22:25] they muted me [22:25] Ah [22:26] karan, it happens usually when you start being lippy ;) [22:26] Salva1: I think log files will be the least of your worries. hard disks are meant to be spun, you really should rely more on backup methods than anything else, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem [22:26] lol [22:27] I do back ups. [22:27] karan: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [22:27] But I think that I do not currently need to log activities. [22:27] How do I find where sun's java jdk installed itself? :) [22:27] ugggggggggg Out-Cold [22:27] Salva1, i agree... no matter how much you try to reduce spinning.. it's inevitable.. you could mount /var on another disk and have logs there.. [22:27] * Zolomon is a new ubuntu/linux user. [22:28] Salva1: you can try replacing all the log files with links to /dev/null (not sure if the harddisk will spin anyway though) [22:28] Inexperienced is a more suitable term. [22:28] I Wasn this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00303G9FO/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=pc but its sleep mode doesnt work in ubuntu. :( Lame sause [22:28] CastleFox, the 1005ha works great with suspens [22:28] *suspend [22:28] Zolomon, did you install it with APT (Synaptic, Software Center)? [22:29] Yep [22:29] mmk [22:29] asus is better than toshiba IMO [22:29] Zolomon, would you happen to know the package name? [22:30] better linux support ? [22:30] sun-java6-jdk IIRC [22:30] asus has good compatibility... i've never had issues [22:30] Zolomon, then run 'dpkg -L sun-java6-jdk' and it will list all files installed with that package. [22:30] good driver support [22:30] mac9416: Thanks! [22:31] Zolomon, no problem. :-) [22:31] Hi what is a good bittorrent client? I tried Transmission and it's too light, and Vuze doesn't seem to work at all (won't launch) [22:31] jzacsh: the rss feed reader plugin for gnome-do only supports OPML files [22:31] chris59, open synaptic and search for torrent. or use apt-search list torrent [22:31] infid: I've never had an issue with it. [22:32] !bittorrent | chris59 [22:32] chris59: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [22:32] my answer: good. mac9416's answer: better ;) [22:33] I'm getting a weird thing with grep. When I type "grep -i kent *.log" I get "grep:invalid option -- 'p' [22:33] Out_Cold, hurray for automation. :-) [22:33] Out_Cold, ready-made responses rather. [22:33] mac9416, i can barely remember the bots name let alone a quarter of his responses [22:33] jzacsh: what do you mean? it only lets me add downloaded opml files as feeds, not urls [22:33] Out_Cold, haha. I just guessed. :-P [22:34] chris59: can you file a bug on vuze? "ubuntu-bug vuze" in your terminal [22:34] infid: just a sec, let me see. [22:34] Help, grep won't work [22:34] Maco, I uninstalled it, I'll get around to filing a bug later [22:34] I'm getting a weird thing with grep. When I type "grep -i kent *.log" I get "grep:invalid option -- 'p' [22:34] 'Simple RSS feeder' [22:35] ah it seems I don;t need to reinstall [22:35] Kentrel, i don't think grep likes * [22:35] Lately, when doing stuff that causes a terminal application to print an alarm char, my system has started actually obeying them, and plays an irritating sound. For example, echo -e '\a' produces this sound. I want to turn it off. How do I do this? [22:35] try grep -i kent log [22:36] Out_Cold: grep doesn't see the * : it should be expanded by the shell [22:36] Thanks guys, I have stuff to do now Bye [22:36] guntbert, i figured as much... just didn't know the underlying reasons [22:37] infid: I'm not sure, but I think the notifications I've been getting have been from my twitter account I have setup (i follow a bunch of news orgz on twitter) -- anyways, I was curious about opml and it looks pretty nifty. its a nice way for you to manager your feeds from one file. here's an example http://scripting.com/feeds/top100x.opml [22:37] Out_Cold: so his line *should* work (and does here) [22:37] guntbert, oh... i umm have had issues using * before... [22:37] CastleFox: good system, but if you want to save a few bucks: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Eee+PC+Netbook+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Atom%26%23153%3B+Processor+-+Black/9614645.p?skuId=9614645&ky=1whxm51gbOgORrn6M8JOUlLjDtR0yY7Rx&cmp=RMX&id=1218131341427 it's basically the same thing [22:38] I've got two users on an Ubuntu Server installation (one for me and one for a co-worker). [22:38] I would like to know if it's possible to set her terminal messages in another language (not English), as she's new to Linux and not well versed at reading English. [22:38] that's my model there.... great lil guy [22:38] (but I would like to keep mine in English) [22:38] Out_Cold: if you got time you might want to read on bash and expansion :-) [22:38] Mannequin: no, they are depending on the program [22:39] Kentrel: what is your shell? [22:39] If I want to set JAVA_HOME to the path where my jdk installed itself, is /usr/liv/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15 the correct path then? Or should it be the bin path inside that path? [22:39] guntbert, i always have time to read monotonous tutorials and manuals [22:39] lib* [22:39] iceroot: what do you mean by "the program"? the program or command that has been run on the terminal? [22:39] guntbert, bash [22:40] Gnea: I love the price but the 'up to 3hours and 50min of battery time" concerns me. [22:40] (I would like translated messages for commands like "ls", "aptitude", etc) [22:40] its weird, because those grep commands were working the other day [22:40] Zolomon: use /var/lib/jvm/sun-java6-jre (without version numbre) [22:40] CastleFox, like i said.. i can push mine up to 7 hrs [22:40] Ah, thanks [22:40] I guess I can just wait for 10.04 and see if any new netbooks come out then [22:40] Mannequin: yes, because the program is doing the output [22:40] Out_Cold: :) -- I think I remember where you had troubles with * : was it find? if you use special characters in the pattern you must enclose it in " ... " [22:40] Mannequin: but you can set the language-var for a user [22:40] Mannequin: i think locale can be set per-user [22:40] iceroot: ok, thanks! [22:40] iceroot, maco: yes, that's what I'm looking for [22:40] !locale | Mannequin [22:40] Mannequin: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [22:41] guntbert, that kind of makes sense. and yea it probably was me and find... [22:41] Mannequin: set "LANG=X" (where X is the abbreviation) in the user's ~/.profile [22:41] out cold, Did the one button at the bottom bother you? [22:41] Kentrel: strange - try grep -i kent /var/log/syslog [22:41] ubuntu doenst start up properly, it gets to the ubtuntu loading screen and then restarts, where are the logs i should look at ? [22:41] How can I run wine as other user without problems? If I run wine with sudo as other user I'm getting "Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.".... [22:41] CastleFox, it's a left/right click... and it does a little.. i occasionally move my mouse when i don't want to [22:42] Mannequin: like "fr" or "de" [22:42] CastleFox: good point [22:42] chez: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/boot [22:42] maco: thanks, will try that. [22:42] guntbert, it doesn't give an error in that case [22:43] Kentrel: are you using bash? echo $SHELL [22:43] /bin/bash [22:43] yep [22:43] How do I change the sound theme? [22:43] gksu does not work, too... [22:43] Does grep not like * or something === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [22:44] iceroot: syslog only has comments from when ubuntu has fully loaded, boot log has nothing, how would i get boot log to record ? [22:44] Kentrel: I haven't bene following the conversation much -- but did you try grep -i kent ./*.log ? [22:44] Kentrel: as I said before: the * is expanded by the shell - so grep doesn't see it at all [22:44] ah, that works [22:44] chez: press esc at splashscreen to see tty1 [22:44] Kentrel: no, your shell should be expanding on the asterisk, grep shouldn't see it [22:45] I wish Asus models came will a different style keyboard [22:45] putting ./*.log instead of *.log works :) === maddy_ is now known as Guest30134 [22:45] CastleFox, what's wrong with qwerty? [22:45] Kentrel: glad I could help :) [22:45] jzacsh: how did you come up with *that* ? [22:45] can I remove a repository I've added using "add-apt-repository" in Ubuntu? [22:45] could someone help me with my nvidia video card. i want to use the nvidia binaries. nothing is showing up under the hardware drivers utility. i installed nvidia-glx-185 with apt-get, but it didn't seem to enable the driver [22:45] no qwerty is pimp. I like the chicklet style keyboard better. With my large hands I sometimes smash too many buttons [22:46] hi.. when I start networking service i get a SIOCADDRT: No such process .. can someone please tell me how do i fix this [22:46] guntbert: with what? === Guest30134 is now known as amitprakash [22:46] jzacsh, Though that works it won't search recursively even though I use -r [22:46] frxstrem, yes, by using System>Administration>Software Sources. [22:46] CastleFox, it takes a little gettign used to.. i am over it... and i have big hands [22:46] jzacsh: ./*.log [22:46] frxstrem, or 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' [22:46] i tried to run nvidia-xconfig, but it says it cannot find the x configuration file [22:46] Kentrel: do you know for sure its not searching recursively? (is the a subdirectory that has soething you know it should come up with) ? [22:46] mac9416: thanks :) [22:46] NO TO JESTEM [22:47] yeah, its my miRC chat logs folder. I'm just searching the nickname i use on almost every folder [22:47] ubuntu: Hi. [22:47] frxstrem, no prob. :-) [22:47] guntbert: not sure? reading about regular experssions and how things get mixed up with each other?

[22:48] jzacsh, would the fact that its searching an NTFS drive make a difference? [22:48] peepsalot: yes [22:48] peepsalot, yup [22:48] and if you don't? [22:48] Kentrel: no, i don't think so [22:48] oops [22:49] brb restarting x [22:49] When unplugging a USB thumb drive - Which is best option to use "Eject" or "Safely Remove Drive" ? ? or does it matter ? ? [22:50] NOTSUREHERE, if I had to guess, the second one. But I'm not sure what the difference is. [22:50] NOTSUREHERE: generally I use "safely remove" [22:50] Is there any way to add an extra location to the weather thing? [22:50] NOTSUREHERE, eject is handy for read-only but i think it also 'safely removes' [22:50] jzacsh: Thx === eric is now known as Guest20193 [22:50] CastleFox, yes.. just edit and add [22:50] Can anyone tell me the best method to transfer files to my iPod touch?

[22:55] Guest20193: you can use rhythmbox (probably) - my firend uses it easily (drag/drop) with her ipod [22:55] i don't like to harass my friends if it's a dismal 7am [22:55] who is good with airodump? [22:56] jagjr, ask your questions but beware if you are trying to do something illegal, we won't support you [22:56] Guest20193, I've tried with several apps on a recent Nano, and all failed.

You should read more on airmon [22:59] i tried it in monitor mode [22:59] jzacsh, Rhythmbox does not read the iPod as a removable media when I scan it [22:59] not working [22:59] airmon-ng start wlan0 [22:59] thats the point [22:59] not sure -- it was just plug/play for me [22:59] jagjr, does your card support injection> [22:59] i dont have wlan only eth1 [22:59] yes [22:59] broadcom [22:59] so airmon-ng start eth1 [22:59] which produces that error [23:00] Out_Cold, Any other comment about that laptop ? [23:00] jagjr, try this..ifconfig eth1 down && iwconfig eth1 mode monitor && ifconfig eth1 up.. tell me if that works [23:00] you could ask in #aircrack [23:00] hi.. when I start networking service i get a SIOCADDRT: No such process .. can someone please tell me how do i fix this.. i am pasting my interfaces config here.. http://pastebin.ca/1856107.. the gateway ip refers to that of my ppp0 [23:00] oh yea... your card has to be off to switch to monitor [23:01] CastleFox, yea i had to go out and buy a better wifi usb. [23:01] :( :( [23:01] Hey, Ubuntu is working fine.. Expect the bar at the top and bottom are unresponsive [23:01] CastleFox, the built-in is good... but not to my standards [23:01] It keeps doing this since yesterday :/ Maybe it's compiz? === ramchip is now known as RaMcHiP [23:02] My desktop is fine too, it's just the bars. [23:02] Ya I read something about flakey wifi [23:02] Out_Cold, any ideas on my problem :) the networking service runs the same config fine if i change the address to a class C subnet :) [23:02] iamnotaguest, have you tried restarting gnome-panel? Just a thought. [23:02] !panels | iamnotaguest .. try this to see if it helps? [23:02] iamnotaguest .. try this to see if it helps?: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:02] I've read where my wg111v3 should work in 9.10 but it doesn't where can i find the drivers for it?

[23:03] iamnotaguest, write those instructions down and have them handy. :-) [23:03] amitprakash, i don't think i caught your problem [23:03] mac9416: Saved to dropbox ;) Thanks [23:03] ubuntunoob, transmission not good enough? [23:04] i love transmission.. [23:04] Out_Cold, when I start networking service i get a SIOCADDRT: No such process .. i am pasting my interfaces config here.. http://pastebin.ca/1856107.. the gateway ip refers to that of my ppp0 [23:04] jagjr, whats the error that you get [23:04] iamnotaguest, perfect. Hope the problem doesn't come back. :-) [23:04] what's the cleanest way to install Wesnoth 1.8 onto Ubuntu 9.10? [23:04] or the suggested way [23:04] mac9416: Hmm that's not the only thing that's happening today with ubuntu [23:04] It reminds me of the random crap XP used to throw at me :s [23:05] amitprakash, why not use network manager? or wicd? [23:05] iamnotaguest, fire a few more questions off then. Likelier than not, someone will know the answers. [23:05] tropsobor, compile from source [23:05] Out_Cold, well i am using ICS over an ad-hoc wireless to connect to the ppp0 dial up on this system [23:05] and network-manager seems to fail terribly at it [23:05] mac9416: I'll write down exactly what I was doing/done last time they happen actually [23:05] amitprakash, haha sounds too advanced for my advice :p [23:05] heh [23:05] It'd be way too vague right now [23:06] amitprakash, wicd is a python manager... [23:06] iamnotaguest, k [23:06] I wanted to verify these images found here are official correct? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:06] amitprakash, what version of ubuntu are you using? desktop or server? [23:07] nucc1, 9.10 [23:07] Out_Cold, wicd doesnt do much better either :P [23:08] why is ubuntu an attractive OS ? [23:08] anyone can help me get my wireless adapter working in 9.10 ? [23:08] Out_Cold, imo.. wicd fails on ad-hoc connections complete [23:08] amitprakash, yea i have never tried advanced settings like that [23:08] fwaokda, which card [23:08] coolball, because it's free, heavily supported and better than winblows [23:09] thank you Out_Cold [23:09] amitprakash, netgear WG111V3 [23:09] Does anyone know what game this is? http://www.ubuntu.com/files/masthead/910/tour/ubuntu-910-games.jpg (it's from the tour on ubuntu.com) [23:09] coolball, no answer to that question. its awesome to me cos it fits the way i like to use my computer. [23:09] fwaokda, usb? [23:09] is emma watson hot? [23:09] yes [23:09] Rinsmaster: which one? :f [23:09] tropsobor, if you need help compiling let us know [23:10] DaZ, the fullscreen one [23:10] amitprakash, think i finally found a tutorial that might work [23:10] fwaokda, http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=732827 [23:10] can anybody help me: it appears that when i try to mount Myplasticare Pictures ubuntu does not like me to have the word separate ....sudo mount -t cifs -o username=Rafael,password=xxxx //192.168.1.105/Myplasticare Pictures /home/rgotten/FrontDesk.Windows [23:10] an URL will suffice, Out_Cold :) [23:11] The hard drive of my laptop has somehow came disconnected from everything else, and, in order to not void the warranty, I can't do anything about it for a while. In the meantime, I want to run a Ubuntu 9.04 live. It is not booting successfully. All of the errors look similar; one such line is at http://pastebin.com/WTmbEgv9. What could the problem be? [23:11] tropsobor, usually there are compiling instructions inside the source tar [23:11] how can i download these on ubuntu http://sam.ntpi.spcollege.edu/spjc/view/channel.jhtml?stationID=1706 [23:11] hi.. when I start networking service i get a SIOCADDRT: No such process .. can someone please tell me how do i fix this.. i am pasting my interfaces config here.. http://pastebin.ca/1856107.. the gateway ip refers to that of my ppp0 [23:11] great, thank you Out_Cold :) [23:11] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware [23:12] tropsobor, ^^ === hannibal is now known as Guest69176 [23:13] join/ #ubunyu+1 [23:13] why would networking service work fine if i give a class C static ip/netmask but fail with SIOCADDRT: No such process for a class A static ip/netmask [23:13] JOIN/ #ubuntu+1 [23:14] sten2: /join ;) [23:14] If I want to install http://www.pitman.co.za/projects/charva/Download.html and they mention that I need the ncurses-devel rpm, is libncurses5-dev the right apt package to install then...? [23:15] Not install, run.. [23:15] Out_Cold, ah.. a lil progress [23:15] is it the right subnet? [23:15] Zolomon, if you're compiling, yes [23:15] I have 2 external usb drives. both ntfs formated one FreeAgent and one LeClie with virtually identical fstab lines. the FreeAgent boots fine but the system won't boot if I try to mount the LeClie from fstab, have to manually do it after boot. Any ideas? [23:15] Out_Cold, so problem isnt the class but the gateway.. maybe because its already in use by ppp0 [23:15] nucc1: Thanks! [23:15] and yes its the right subnet [23:15] hi i don't hear the audio in gnomeradio what can i do? [23:15] lol well networking is never a fun subject [23:15] good evening [23:16] Out_Cold, indeed.. the gateway ip shifted one digit works fine.. now to figure out how to set a correct gateway :) [23:16] has anybody here installed ClamAV? [23:16] amitprakash, ever thought to call in to your ISP and get details from them? [23:16] !av [23:16] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:16] Out_Cold, er.. i could just use route to find that out :P [23:17] and just did and fixed it xD [23:17] Hi, can anyone answer an ubuntu install question plase? [23:17] lol your own personal linux problem solver :p [23:17] !ask [23:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:17] Out_Cold, mainly because noone bothers writing viruses for linux :P [23:17] jopa123, just ask [23:18] I am attempting a new install on a fresh drive. 9.10 desktop. I get a message that I can't get past [23:18] amitprakash, because there is a difficulty in running those said virii [23:18] this device cannot be managed via the videoa /kbd/ mouse something or other [23:18] If I have javah installed and if I get an error saying that it isn't when I run the ant command specified from the site, what can I do? They say it looks like an option ant component [23:18] Out_Cold, difficult doesn't mean impossible :) [23:19] Hello. I'm still trying to disable internet access for some apps. Now I'm using a script that changes the GID. My problem is now, that if I'm going to chang the GID with the "sg" tool I'm asked for a password and no password works... How can I deactivate the password or what password is the tool asking for? [23:19] amitprakash, and it's not impossible to have nix virii... just improbable [23:19] true :) [23:19] jopa123, you need to say what the specific error message is [23:20] the device cannot be managed via the video/kbd/mouse interface [23:20] so i've been having a **** of a time trying to get LVM to work properly with a fresh install.... If i were to do it after a minimal install, would I just copy all my directories into my new LVs? [23:20] The Ubuntu live system is not booting successfully on my laptop. The errors are all displayed as in http://pastebin.com/xJagsZ4D. What could be the problem? [23:21] arricherekk: try disabling ACPI support [23:21] Out_Cold, weird.. works fine w/ lvm's here [23:21] daftykins, as in by adding ACPI=off? I've tried that. [23:21] I never get to a screen where I can disable acpi [23:21] it boots to the cd and I get that message [23:22] no cmd line [23:22] jopa123: you see where i used the name of another user? that's me talking to someone else [23:22] amitprakash, i get errors with server install: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9062889#post9062889 [23:22] gotcha [23:22] arricherekk: hmm have you looked up ubuntu and your laptop make+model ? [23:22] Hi Ubuntu, what is the command line for removing a program, i just can't remember :( [23:23] jopa123, i think you can disable acpi at boot time ... try a google search. i can't recall, and my connection is crap [23:23] will do, thanks [23:23] tm0, sudo apt-get remove program_name [23:23] tm0, sudo apt-get remove program [23:23] Thank you Nucc1 and Out_Cold [23:23] what packages make the netbook remix different from a regular *buntu install? [23:23] Rapsodius, it has a cool home desktop layout [23:24] How use iptables iptables prerouting only for host with static ip a.b.c.d? [23:24] fine, but what packages make the cool part? [23:24] Rapsodius, not sure what the names are... but if you find them let me know ;) [23:25] Okay i screwed something up back :/ I installed a program, yet it won't let me remove it :/ [23:25] tm0, what's the error? [23:25] does dell studio 1747 works good with Ubuntu? [23:25] Out_Cold, it can't find the program. [23:25] tm0: did you install it with a deb package or with apt-get etc., or did you compile it yourself? [23:25] tm0, which program? [23:25] tm0, how did you install it? [23:26] Out_Cold, not really sure why thats happening, i had a similar issue except till i realized that the drive names changed from sda to hda/hdb and were causing the issue.. doesnt look like the case w/ you tho [23:26] the floppy thing seems do be doing something similar tho [23:26] amitprakash, no.. not sure what's up with it.... it's giving me grey hair ;) [23:27] Frxstrem, Out_cold I've done both :/ Nucc1 Its whatpulse [23:27] tm0, if you compiled, you can remove by deleting.. if you used apt or synaptic/software center, you use that to remove [23:28] Out_Cold where is it located? /etc/ i assume? [23:28] tm0, depends where you installed it and what steps you did [23:28] daftykins, I did another Google search with my laptop make/model, found that others are recommending acpi=off. Now, I am getting messages that look like this: "http://pastebin.com/icR4tkax" [23:29] arricherekk: what make+model is it? have you tried a memory test? [23:29] anyone know how to use logs to find errors? [23:29] daftykins, Hang on, I may have it. [23:30] Out_Cold, i installed a .deb package. [23:30] daftykins, It looks good now. Thanks. [23:30] arricherekk: so it started up? [23:30] anyone else get a 404 error when trying sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa [23:31] tm0, then you should use apt to remove [23:31] Out_Cold It didn't work though. What annoys me is its in the applications menu. [23:32] tm0, can you still access the program? [23:32] try [23:32] Yes, with errors, Out_Could. [23:32] errors?
