[00:58] how do u mean has it worked in nix? im new to linux remember :P [00:58] kyle_: on the panel [00:58] shakeuk: try sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt [00:58] shakeuk: in a terminal [00:59] mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist [00:59] histo: I'm really new to linux (like i just installed it today) so could you clarify what you mean? I could show you a screen capture of what it looks like if that will help [01:00] shakeuk: sudo mount /dev/hdc /mnt [01:00] q0_0p: from a quick look I couldn [01:00] t find a way but that doens't mean it's not possible [01:01] special device /dev/hdc does not exist [01:01] q0_0p: Sorry.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:02] shakeuk: or you can ls -l /dev/cd* and tell me what the symlink is to [01:03] shakeuk: that would be easier [01:03] ls: cannot access /dev/cd*: No such file or director [01:03] whats that other thing u want me to install? [01:03] shakeuk: how is there no /dev/cdrom or cdrw [01:04] lol why is everything done in terminal on linux haha [01:04] ubottu: thanks, though I don't know what I'm waiting for (; [01:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:04] q0_0p: BTW, you might check #pidgin [01:04] my ubuntu10.04 can connect to thunderbirdEmail,pigdin chat, but just no internet Firefox, however, in vBox, i have internet, what's the problem ?

[01:07] is 10 the latest version? [01:07] "desktop effects cannt be enabled" anyone know the cause of this error? [01:08] kyle_: No 3D graphics driver, I'd think. [01:08] nrobertson: yeah, i thought that as well... any way to fix that? [01:09] Your graphics driver. Look up Hardware Drivers in the menu. [01:09] anyone know how to remove all current iptables rules [01:09] I have ubuntu 9.10. Can I just uninstall compiz or do I have to install another window manager first? [01:09] Okay, so I'm trying to resize my ect3 sda1 ubuntu partition with the live CD using Gparted. Gparted says it can't find a valid fylesystem superblock when it tries to edit the ubuntu partition. Anyone have any tips on making it work? [01:09] kyle_: what graphics card? [01:10] haavaros: What seems to be the problem? [01:10] "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [01:10] soreau: Handling of bell sounds === Jordan is now known as Guest67993 [01:10] hey all === Guest67993 is now known as RisingChurch [01:10] haavaros: What about them? [01:11] si there anyway to install mac os as a vm? [01:12] soreau: Bell is completely non-existent, and someone told me that compiz doesn't communicate via libcanberra. In pulseaudio i've used x11 to have an oggfile as system beep [01:12] if that makes sense [01:12] Hello. Does ubuntu 9.10 come with all of the required packages to install wvdial? [01:12] humm [01:12] kinda [01:13] heya all, quick question, I can't seem to find a google answer: I am supposed to have 512MB memory on this crappy computer, ubuntu says I have 496MB, why is that? [01:14] axplayer: pls post the first line of "cat /proc/meminfo" [01:14] because its converted differnt [01:14] hey peeps i manaully installed the flashplugin for 64 bit flash but it is still not working any ideas? [01:14] haavaros: Well it's easy to check if compiz may be interfering. Just go to sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and set to none. This will effectively disable compiz and start metacity which is already installed [01:14] one sec [01:14] your video card sucks up some ram doesnt it? [01:14] Well if it is on the mobo it probably does. [01:14] /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ & /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ is where i put it. [01:15] seattlegaucho: MemTotal: 508676 kB? [01:15] Most modern graphic cards probably have as much ram as his machine. [01:15] 16mb onboard video is your problem [01:15] what do you mean by that [01:15] 2 users over 1337 [01:15] on board. as in my BIOS configuration screen for example? [01:15] I calculated a new resolution for my monitor using cvt. I've run xrandr --newmode with the result. I should then run xrandr -- addmode. But what name to use there?? I thought it would be CRT-0, but "cannot find output CRT-0"? [01:15] On board as in it is built into your motherboard I think. [01:15] i got ububtu 9.10 64 bit on my machine at work and it is fast [01:15] as in, built on your motherboard. [01:15] 1340 [01:15] 8gb ram [01:15] MemTotal is the _real_ total memory linux sees [01:15] 500gb hd [01:16] :) [01:16] I see [01:16] and part of your system memory is mirrored or something for the graphics card [01:16] well, it says I have 508, why do I still see 496? [01:16] hello, i made a stupid mistake.. can anyone here help me? i installed gdm-2.20 and it uninstalled gdm. then i rebooted, and it said that the x server would not work, and now i can only access console session. i figured i could just do an 'apt-get install gdm' and everything would go back to normal. but, none of the apt sources could be connected to so i do not think its connected to wifi. anyone know how to get out of this? [01:16] toh: I figured it was something like that [01:16] I just TRIED to explain, but epic fail [01:16] So, can anyone help me with wvdial? [01:17] ace223, Hi... [01:17] Hey guys, I installed the latest version of ubuntu, and for some reason it's acting quite sluggish. I've ran ubuntu on systems with WAY less resources, and had it act fairly quickly... but i can't even play videos full screenw ithout skips, and browsing the internet with more than one tab is a serious hassle [01:17] oh, maybe not [01:17] hello all [01:17] maginot, hey [01:17] axplayer: toh192 might be right ... 508676kB ~ 496MB [01:17] ace223, explain how do you uninstalled gdm, bu apt-get ? [01:17] *by [01:17] ok. thank you Toh [01:17] soreau: Yep, that worked ... Now I hear the terminal bell again :) [01:17] ace223: sudo apt-get install gdm gdm-2.20- (note the '-' at the end) [01:18] ace223: do you have a wired ethernet connection available? [01:18] so that leads me to think Windows was lieing to me then? [01:18] maginot, well i did 'apt-get install gdm-2.20. then after that it said it would remove gdm [01:18] haavaros: Hm.. [01:18] it didn't correctly detect it or something? [01:18] ace223, type gdm [01:18] 496M + 16M = 512M [01:18] Are pyserial's problems in Ubuntu Karmic limited to specific serial hardware? [01:18] it will remove old one [01:19] I hear that seattle [01:19] nrobertson, wow.. i can't believe i didn't think of that.. the wired ethernet should connect without having to do anything, correct? [01:19] ace223, have you tried that? To see if gdm isn't installed? [01:19] maginot, yeah tried that, its def not installed [01:19] ace223: dpkg -l | grep gdm will tell you what's installed ('ii' means installed) [01:19] ace223: look at nm-tool (if you use the networkmanager to connect) [01:19] ace, in a ideal world it will, with your proper dhcp server set up of course [01:20] ace223, you can't connect to the internet from that machine? [01:20] When I installed ubuntu the ethernet ports worked no problem. [01:20] toh192, ok thank you [01:20] Built into the motherboard, not through a pci nic [01:20] ethernet seems to be a pretty supported component.... [01:20] ace223: also,unless you're super vigilant about cleaning your packages, the original gdm should still be around [01:20] It is very supported. [01:20] ace223: did you try doing it with aptitude? [01:20] Dial up is much less so though, which is my problem. :( [01:21] maginot, well i am running ubuntu off a usb right now on the machine, but when i boot up ubuntu i cannot [01:21] RisingChurch: I've been there. [01:21] I thought the CD came with wvdial by default, but it doesn't [01:21] hey does firefox not support flash 10 64bit? [01:21] Which was a stupid mistake [01:21] firefox does [01:21] trogonwheels, haven't.. how would i do that? [01:21] RisingChurch: Umm, hold on a sec. I have an idea. [01:21] I should've realized when I apt-get'd gnome-ppp, it must've gotten wvdial [01:21] ace223, you know that if we make you connect to internet your problem will be more easy to fix [01:22] it just sucks, and hulu doesnt like it for their website [01:22] ace223: which .. type nm-tool or aptitude ?? [01:22] ace223, you told you 're on the same machine right? but from a usb sticky, right? [01:22] My plan is to use this windows machine to get the packages I need to get wvdial and gnome-ppp. [01:23] trogonwheels, oh i didn't see the nm-tool part.. i meant aptitude [01:23] maginot, yeah [01:23] !kernel [01:23] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [01:23] ace223, so I imagine we could chroot for the disk [01:23] But I just want to make sure I get everything I need so I can get online at home. I know I can get the modem to work, I've done it before. [01:24] ace223, mount /dev/sdaX /mnt (where sdaX is your / partition from the other machine [01:24] hey si chrome installablae from repo [01:24] But it's hard to get the dialer when dial up is your ony internet. :P [01:24] RisingChurch: there are also pon and poff (connect and disconnect). You just have to set up your PPP file first, there's a wizard for that, i'm trying to find what it's called [01:24] howdy maginot [01:24] Hi [01:25] how it goes today ? [01:25] maginot, alright i will do that [01:25] I have a question [01:25] And I don't need any packages for that? [01:25] !ask [01:25] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:25] ace223, okay, you know how to do this? [01:25] having problems viewing .mov videos in Chrome browser (Ubuntu 9.10) [01:25] I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 in a virtual box. What driver is available for ati radeon mobility hd 4200? Anyone know? [01:25] when I'm using python, I type in print "" [01:25] and it always says that the last " is a syntax error [01:25] calum_: in vbox your physical graphics card doesnt matter [01:26] RisingChurch: Shouldn't. As long as your modem is working. I can't remember what that wizard was called, though. Try searching your filesystem for ppp, maybe you'll turn it up [01:26] calum_: it just has a generic emulated graphics adapter [01:26] maginot, no sorry i do not.. it is mounted though [01:26] Well I tried searching for ppp through synaptic and didn't see anything.

[01:26] Hi, anyone that could help my? [01:26] ace223, okay, I'll help you... what's your root partition? [01:27] !es [01:27] I'll have to remember that. My machine is 30 minutes away though. [01:27] I'm having problem to install mysql 5.1 [01:27] maco: So I should install it and try it directly in the vm? [01:27] oops sorry [01:27] hiexpo, no hablas ingles?? [01:27] calum_: yeah [01:27] RisingChurch: Aha! It might be called pppconfig [01:27] maco: I will give it a try. [01:27] I'll try googling it. [01:28] I'm having problem to install mysql 5.1, anybody could help my?? [01:28] Well it should be installed on your system. [01:28] marginot, hmm, im actually going to try some of the other solutions people gave me.. see if i can get it fixed that way. otherwise i will come back and ask you about this, thanks for the help [01:28] and thanks everyone else, later [01:28] I hope so. [01:28] any ops here? [01:28] RisingChurch: Here is a guide you might want to save for reference... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html [01:28] neomysis: Maybe, but you'll have to tell us what the problem is first. [01:28] It should work with the martian_modem command right? Since I have a winmodem. [01:28] billy2007: something wrong? [01:29] I'm using 9.10: Is there a way to control sounds for specific events, rather than just all or nothing like in sounds preferences? [01:29] I got the martian_modem working though. [01:29] Does anyone know of an irc client that uses vim keybindings? [01:29] ace223, okay, if they didn't work come back, that will =) [01:29] maco freenode told me to come here and ask an op if i could et ubottu in a private room [01:29] kjele: you could probably find a script for irssi to do somethign like that. [01:29] can anyone help me? [01:29] billy2007: ah. try in #ubuntu-ops then. only certain ops are able to control ubottu [01:29] kjele: it would be difficult to type with vim keybindings in an irc client [01:30] histo: I am using irssi and can't find anything [01:30] lee_, hi, whats is your problem [01:30] !ask | lee [01:30] lee: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:30] HI... [01:30] billy2007: you can message ubottu directly [01:30] histo: i think billy2007 wants to invite ubottu to a channel [01:30] I need help fixing my mysql instalation [01:30] histo: not really. Using bash with vim keybindings [01:30] this is what happens when I try to use python: >>> print "" [01:30] SyntaxError: invalid syntax [01:30] >>> [01:30] RisingChurch: I don't know, actually. Hopefully, though. [01:30] maco alright cheers m8 [01:30] While I wait for that to slowly load [01:30] it says the last " after the word print is a syntax error [01:31] lee_, so you are with a sintax problem [01:31] I'm using 9.10: Is there a way to control sounds for specific events? [01:31] neomysis: What, exactly, is wrong? Is there an error? What does it say? [01:31] yes [01:31] lee_, you have to revise your code... [01:31] hi everyone. Can somebody help with amarok player? Other players work fine, but amarok just does`t play a track. Installed from ubuntu reposit. [01:31] alpicola, thanks [01:31] tried [01:31] The whole reason I need to do this is because I reinstalled ubuntu after I screwed something up [01:31] I edited the xconf file because my resolution was stuck at 640x340 [01:31] it doesn't work [01:31] alpicola: When I try to start it get halted [01:31] haavaros: Try messing around with system > preferences > sound [01:31] kox, amarok uses a differient codec system [01:31] So I searched the forums, and found someone with the same problem, and he fixed it. [01:32] doesnt it? [01:32] alpicola: when I try to remove it, do not work.. and sao on [01:32] He edited the xconf to change the hsync [01:32] lee_, okay, you tried, but you don't get it, doesn't mean that doesn't exist [01:32] it works in the terminal but when I do it in the python shell it turns up an error [01:32] so I guess I need codecs? What exactly? [01:32] I tried to do it, even though mine didn't have any of that information, according to what I read, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there and so I assumed I could edit it the same way he did in order to fix it. [01:32] RisingChurch: haha, bummer. glad you got it fixed though, that res is crap [01:32] But I couldn't boot after I edited the file. [01:32] calum_: No options there except to turn everything on or off [01:32] Oh no [01:32] I didn't get it fixed. [01:32] qclear [01:32] I'm using 9.10: Is there a way to control sounds for specific events? Sound preferences has no such granularity [01:32] kos, try changing your output settings first [01:32] It prevented me from booting, I don't know how since there is the failsafe file [01:32] RisingChurch: Oh yeah. I guess you said that.... [01:33] RisingChurch: did you back up the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [01:33] I tried using live, but of course I couldn't edit the file. [01:33] neomysis: Ok... This is the package manager (apt-get, Synaptic, etc.) that's having trouble? If there's any kind of an error message, please paste it here (if it's short, or pastebin it if it's long). [01:33] Fatal, I didn't, but the failsafe file was exactly like the original. [01:33] Hi, I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop.. it has a broadcom wireless card and in the live cd and in the past, it shows up under "hardware drivers" but it's not there, how do I fix this? [01:33] I assumed if it couldn't work, it would default to the failsafe one. [01:34] Alpicola: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `mysql-common' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. [01:34] toh192, doesn`t help :) [01:34] I have an encrypted partition left from a different install of LinuxMint.

[01:35] hmm [01:35] alpicola, now, dont work nathing in the shell, not control C nothig, I need to close it [01:35] So right now my xconf is default because a new install. [01:36] My resolution is only at 8x6 because it can't go any higher, and is using the free software. [01:36] Phew, and getting back up and running on dial-up is a mess [01:36] neomysis: By halt, do you mean it just locks up, or does apt-get exit abruptly and leave you back at the command line? [01:36] I can't get the proprietary ones because I have no internet on the machine. [01:36] hi, help, my printer is printing very small, like a tenth of the size [01:36] lock up.

If dominantly white, invert, vice versa [01:49] you know, ubuntu printing should let you select an option to manually select the driver instead of auto select, cause I was using an old canon, and the auto selected driver wasn't working good, so I had to select manually, except that option doesn't come up, You just have to delete and add until it doesn't auto find a driver so the menu to select your driver comes and you can chose your favourite [01:50] * Slyboots rubs whats left of his sanity [01:51] right, The mv works as long as there is not a folder with the same name at the target location.. I dont know *why* that causes it to fail but it does [01:51] neomysis: Give this a try: dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq mysql-common [01:52] alpicola, http://paste.ubuntu.com/409780/ [01:52] christ linux why do you have to be so difficult! [01:52] ! bootsplash [01:53] !drivers [01:53] !usplash [01:53] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [01:53] !usplash [01:53] if it was easy everyone would have it :) [01:54] Honestly, I mean.. Moving FILES [01:54] how can you screw that up [01:54] Slyboots, moving? [01:54] It does seem pretty silly Sly. [01:54] neomysis: Ok. Rmove those dependencies and try again. If those also complain about dependencies, well, just keep going until it works ;) [01:54] Slyboots, did you copied something on the wrong place? [01:54] TRying to move files from one directory to another.. but if the smae folders exist at the TARGET directory.. the copy fails [01:54] I am trying to restore my ubuntu bootsplash after a lubuntu-desktop install [01:54] alpicola, but mysql-commen actually do not exist, is just a virtual one of -5.1 [01:54] maginot, - i think he did [01:55] Slyboots, use a grep filter [01:55] avi converter software for mobile mp4 [01:55] maginot: .. what? [01:55] the update-alternatives command returns "no alternatives for usplash-artwork.so [01:55] what am I doing wrong [01:55] Slyboots, to exclude the same directory [01:55] I'm trying to work with a fresh Jaunty install from Ubuntu's rootstock (as burned in Karmic). Stuck on "must be setuid root" for sudo, and su won't authenticate, either. Any way to fix without root privs? [01:55] alpicola, sorry. I get it now [01:55] ... No I dont want to do that o.O [01:55] The idea is to move the files.. and if the folders already exist just.. add them to the current folders [01:56] hi there [01:56] help needed for an avi converter software for mobile mp4 [01:56] Slyboots, so use the -f option [01:56] Doesnt work [01:56] Slyboots, how not? [01:56] slyboots@Beluga:/media/array/Videos/TV/Deadliest Warrior1$ sudo mv -f * ../Deadliest\ Warrior [01:56] mv: cannot move `Season 1' to `../Deadliest Warrior/Season 1': Directory not empty [01:57] neomysis: Basically, it sounds like something in the dpkg database got corrupted, so the goal is to force whatever's corrupt there to be removed, and then try it all again from scratch. [01:57] Because the folder "Season 1" already exists in the target directory, apparnetly thats some huge crime and mv wont play ball [01:57] how to install windows aplication here in linux [01:57] streetboys use wine [01:57] alpicola, thank.. I understand now.. I will try [01:57] Slyboots, are you sure you have the right permission on the directory ? [01:57] Running the move as root [01:57] bleach .... How [01:57] lol [01:57] (hense Sudo) [01:58] is it posible to run the microsoft excel using wine [01:58] Streetboys: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [01:58] Use OpenOffice [01:58] It can open excell files iirc. [01:58] -l [01:58] Yes Microsoft office can be run through wine [01:58] open office dont have pivot [01:58] i need pivot [01:59] Streetboys: actually, it does; it calls them DataPilots. http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000252 [01:59] So.. no-one any clue why I cant do the most *basic* file managment? [01:59] datapilot == pivot. [01:59] Open Office has what it calls DataPilot... similar to Excel's Pivot tables, just not as many formatting options. === hexdump is now known as hexdump_ [02:00] ok tnx for the reply [02:00] very much apreciated and helpul [02:00] :) [02:00] I mean I dont mean to be rude but.. I dont understand how this doesnt come up all the time [02:00] Slyboots, aparently ou could only using the -n option [02:01] hello,Everybody.I have a question? [02:01] No clobber eh? [02:01] alpicola, Now when I tray to install mysql 5.0 http://paste.ubuntu.com/409787/ [02:01] Slyboots, use -n [02:01] one more question,,,, is it true that linux is a virus free.... [02:01] Slyboots, mv -vn * ../folder [02:01] There is no such thing as virus free. [02:01] snuxoll, Can you help with eveningsky 's issue, iirc you have played with encrypted partitions before. [02:01] FireFox is not support javascript? [02:01] RisingChurch, yes, there is. [02:02] feng: sure it does [02:02] hello, does anyone knows if it's possible to prevent nautilus from previewing images in external devices like usb sticks and sd cards? [02:02] feng: perhaps you have it turned off in the security settings? [02:02] Haw [02:02] Slyboots: rsync should handle it [02:02] how can i convert an avi file to mp4(mobile phone format)in ubuntu [02:02] Well, not in the way he is asking imo. [02:02] geirha: But thats copying.. [02:02] When I click a Link of javascript. [02:02] RisingChurch, who is asking?? [02:02] Me [02:03] Streetboys. [02:03] but i read from a forum entitled the power of linux, some tells that linux is a virus free [02:03] He asked if linux is virus free. [02:03] yes rising church [02:03] FireFox can't open link of Javascript [02:03] RisingChurch, well, what virus are you considering for linux, bliss ? [02:03] * maginot strughs [02:03] <|littlebear|> Bleach: ffmpeg -i blah.mp4 blah.avi [02:03] neomysis: Ah... it starts to make sense. Your previous attempt probably stalled waiting for mysqld to quit, but it doesn't want to for some reason. killall mysqld [02:03] maginot: ... Didnt work.. just didnt copy *any* files [02:03] But no error message either [02:04] Slyboots: It has options to remove source files files and such [02:04] Ok.. [02:04] Slyboots, but doesn't give you errors... [02:04] No, I'm just saying it is extremely unlikely any system is impossible to comprimise. [02:04] alpicola, let see if I found some [02:04] ... but it didnt move the files either [02:04] why i can't open the link of Javascript in FireFox? [02:04] RisingChurch, well, compromise is something... none is talking about exploits [02:04] alpicola, ok, all them killed [02:04] I installed Java! [02:05] Help Me! [02:05] Well I guess my definition of virus is more broad. :P [02:05] RisingChurch, the real virus that exists for linux are just for laboratory and very very old, they used old kernel flaws, today there is no virus [02:05] hi [02:05] hiya, is it possible to have more than one active pptp connection? I have a cellular wireless card which uses pptp, and I'm looking to connect to a pptp vpn, but connecting to the vpn kicks my cellular connection [02:05] neomysis: Good. Try it all again. [02:05] feng: er.... javascript and java have nothing in common, except 4 letters [02:05] alpicola, install ?? [02:05] yes [02:05] neomysis: Yeah. [02:05] can anyone tell me an easy way to install tor on ubuntu 9.04? i'm too much of a n00b for cmd line interface in the terminal [02:06] geirha: Plus I dont think rsync will delete folders.. only files [02:06] porphyro: consider windows or osx then? [02:06] <|littlebear|> porphyro: open up packagemanager and search for tor [02:06] feng: are you trying to run a java applet, maybe? [02:06] alpicola, almost the same error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/409789/ [02:06] i've tried several times via terminal it's too confusing and it's not working [02:06] RisingChurch, exploits of course linux have many, just like any other operation system running human program... [02:06] That is my point. [02:06] porphyro: what have you tried / what problems did you run into? [02:06] specifics ;) [02:06] when i click the javascript,it displays "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (javascript) isn't associated with any program" [02:06] It wasn't my question anyways, so. :P [02:06] RisingChurch, but virus are just something very stupid [02:06] crazygirl: trying to get the pgp verficiations etc [02:06] <|littlebear|> feng: ROFL, u're kidding right? [02:07] feng: javascript isnt a protocol [02:07] i run vidalia and tor isn't connected [02:07] alpicola, Should I try with 5.1 or 5.0?? [02:07] yes [02:07] not even sure if it actually sintalled [02:07] RisingChurch, windows will never be safe, thats a problem about legacy [02:07] <|littlebear|> feng: it's a file that should be embedded, not run individually [02:07] * Slyboots rubs his eyes.. [02:07] this is just.. *unreal* [02:07] Slyboots, what? [02:07] crazy, did that help any [02:07] <|littlebear|> Slyboots: lol, it's real all right [02:07] why doesn't ext3 need to be defragemented? [02:07] That I cant *move* bloody files [02:07] i believe that linux is virus free [02:07] there are no .deb files i can find that will work [02:08] how to do it / [02:08] <|littlebear|> Streetboys: it's not [02:08] y? littlebear [02:08] Im sorry, but if you cant MOVE files around without massive headaches something is fundementally bloody wrong [02:08] <|littlebear|> Streetboys: I could write a simple script and pass it to you, it will shutdown your pc every 2 minute [02:08] Slyboots: You are moving directories, that's different from regular files. [02:08] wat kind of virus you concider for linux [02:08] why doesn't ext3 need to be disparagement? I mean the file system [02:08] Slyboots, you know that, if you don't like how something work, on linux you always have the advantage of making it better... remember its opensource [02:08] oops [02:08] -.- [02:08] defragmented [02:08] yea, great solution.. write my own OS :P [02:08] <|littlebear|> Streetboys: but nobody bother to write one lol, linux user are usually smart enough to read [02:09] Slyboots, no, just change how mv works... [02:09] Thats pretty extreme dont you think [02:09] !help [02:09] Slyboots, don't need to someone have to do it? [02:09] 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. :-) [02:09] er... [02:09] Hey all, I accidently installed the wrong printer driver. How do I go ahead and uninstall the printer driver that is on my machine? [02:09] No need to get snappy because I've pointed out something that linux seems to handle badly [02:10] hi everyone === uRock is now known as running_rabbit07 [02:10] Slyboots: You mean coreutils handles badly, linux is not the issue [02:10] anyone knows about electronic circuits schematics and PCB design? [02:10] hi phongphrai what is the question [02:10] neomysis: I suppose you could try it whichever, I'm ot sure your problem is apt related at this point. What happens if you try running that initscript by hand? invoke-rc.d mysql stop [02:10] Sorry, Coreutils :P [02:10] I take that question back, sorry all :) [02:11] LOL..... what kind of script you said,,, linux doesnt read any script [02:11] can plymouth and usplash both be installed [02:11] alpicola, now I should have all mysql realted uninstalled [02:11] benkong2: dont think so [02:11] Slyboots, I don't disagree with you, but I know how to make a script or something and don't get bothered but if you need so much, make your part [02:11] maco: k thanks [02:11] winXPuser: when it writes files to disk it leaves room for extra data in the same place; unlike fat or ntfs which closes the data then if more is added puts it on a diff sector thus fragmenting the drive [02:11] alpicola, the problem was originated when I upgrade the packages (I am using ubuntu 10.04) [02:12] Its not a great solution if you dont know how to program though is it [02:12] Slyboots, unfortunately just complain will not fix it [02:12] Slyboots, at least, not so soon =) [02:12] hey guys I have installed ubuntu with /boot on a regular drive partition and / on a linux raid 5 device. When booting the system cant find the rootfs, I think the kernel is not assembling the raid 5 root. [02:12] any ideas? [02:12] Im trying to find a workaround or a solution but there doesnt seem to be one.. which just seems to be *really* unlikly [02:12] can this even be done [02:12] I mean, I cant see how this issue has not come up before on a daily basis [02:13] So there must be a solution/workaround/voodoo chant [02:13] Slyboots, let me think if I have some idea for you here [02:13] Slyboots: rsync + rmdir [02:13] I have proftpd installed, but for some reason I can't access "/media/terabyte" which has permissions 666 and is /dev/sdb1...Any advice on what to read? [02:13] geirha: Adn if rsync fails or some reason it deletes my files :P [02:13] Slyboots have you not just tried GUI move? [02:13] neomysis: Sure. I could be wrong, but what that last pastebin looks like to me is apt-get thinking mysql is running when it's not. *shrug* [02:13] Slyboots: No. [02:13] or enter the folder and copy * to the new folder? [02:13] Its a CLi interface only [02:13] How can i check what type of jdk i have for java? [02:13] cd folder cp * /whatever/folder/ [02:14] Anyone knows a good way to design PCB on linux? [02:14] I take it back, it's not proftpd's fault the user isn't able to access that directory by ssh either. I'm confused [02:14] I can move the files by hand one by one, but if the same folder structe exists at the target it doesnt work [02:14] Slyboots: rsync only deletes upon successful copy, and rmdir only deletes empty directories. [02:14] Slyboots does it have a load of subdirectories or what [02:14] alpicola, OK.. but now, everithing should be ok.. and I am still having problems to install mysql 5.1 [02:14] ? [02:14] EdgEy: I have a folder with 3 subfolders inside it "A, B and C" And if I try ot move it to /target/ (Which has the same folders inside) it fails [02:14] Hello, has anyone used the ubuntu one iphone app successfully yet? [02:14] neomysis: Is it back to hanging? [02:14] Slyboots, I have you an simple idea [02:14] =) [02:14] Slyboots, ah [02:14] Hello, can I deactivate the "Line port" of my soundcard somehow with pulseaudio? Or can I redirect MIC to LINE? The Problem is a wine app seems using LINE IN instead of MIC and I can't change it... [02:15] Slyboots, just go one this under and do the mv [02:15] Slyboots, you have to get out from the dir... [02:15] alpicola, nop, I think it is again dependencies http://paste.ubuntu.com/409792/ [02:15] maginot: .. What? [02:15] mv -v dir1/* dir2/ === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:15] as root can I force one user to be logged out? [02:15] Slyboots, not mv -v * ../dir2 [02:16] Slyboots, did you get it ? [02:16] Same issue "Directory not empty" [02:16] Slyboots, show me your command [02:17] slyboots@Beluga:/media/array/Videos/TV$ sudo mv -v /media/array/Data/TV/* /media/array/Videos/TV/ [02:17] Slyboots, I just did here, without problem [02:17] mv: cannot move `/media/array/Data/TV/Deadliest Warrior' to `/media/array/Videos/TV/Deadliest Warrior': Directory not empty [02:17] (Yes, I know its a terrible show) [02:17] It's sort of entertaining Sly [02:17] Slyboots, sorry here worked great, and I didn't need -f option either [02:17] how can I set the plymouth theme? [02:18] whats the worse that could happen if my modelines are off in my xorg.conf could it fry my gpu? [02:18] It is funny how the voice over guy is the guy from 300. [02:18] Slyboots, I will just repeat my test [02:18] mdisieno [02:18] I modded my xorg.conf [02:18] And couldn't boot. [02:18] RisingChurch: I just heard its got the IRA vs the Taliban.. lol [02:18] Are you stuck at 640x340? [02:19] Being from N. Ireland.. I just cant pass that up :P [02:19] is it not physically possible to have more than one active pptp session? [02:19] RisingChurch, hmm, im just more worried about my gpu and tv. no at 1280x768 right now [02:19] Well I've read having the wrong numbers can be bad fro the monitor. [02:19] well the device is called ppp0 so I suppose there could be a ppp1 [02:19] Slyboots, I can see why it doesn't work with "mv" now [02:19] I can't say from experience though. [02:19] EdgEy: Oh? [02:20] You will have to use rsync or something else [02:20] x.x [02:20] Slyboots, actually mv didint help, the only solution is cp -vrf first [02:20] messing with xorg leads to most of the time BRICKRD//// [02:20] Im unable to report the problem of system crashes.The report is generated for a while and then it says"problem cant be reported" I want to contribute by reporting bugs [02:20] Crappy mv x.x [02:20] Slyboots, after cp you can do a rm -rf [02:20] Sly, does that mean you are rooting for the IRA? [02:20] How do i change my locale in 9.10 UNR to en_US.iso8859-1 ? [02:20] RisingChurch: I never thought I was say this.. but.. home-team and all :P [02:20] Slyboots, hey, just use cp and then rm, not mv [02:20] maginot that would take forever for large files though [02:20] Slyboots, unfortunately is one command more [02:21] Its part of a script, and copying instead of a straight mvoe is going to add a lot of extra IO [02:21] EdgEy, it's a solution... any one better?? [02:21] The script is already a bit dodgy/creaky [02:21] well cp followed by rm has resume sematnics of start over where mv has pick up where you left off [02:21] and Im talking about a lot of HDTV stuff, and 4gb+ files [02:22] It's been a long time since I did bash scripting or programming of any sort [02:22] Circs, you mean your language? [02:22] Slyboots, it's the best solution and you just cp the files omitted by -n option of mv [02:22] There will be a simple script to move file by file, I mean the GUI tools like nautilus can do it [02:23] hiexpo, Yeah I would like to change it as I am having issues related to my default locale at the moment [02:23] EdgEy, an script could work great, but I'm not in the mood of thinking [02:23] maginot plus you assume that way there's even space to do it [02:23] :( [02:23] Circs, on boot inyor login i believe there is an option for languages [02:24] My Amule on Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't connect to kad in the last few days. Someone have experienced this problem? [02:24] EdgEy, yeah, that is something needed indeed [02:24] #ubuntu-es [02:24] hiexpo, The problem is the locale is not built in to my knowledge [02:25] Circs, what language? [02:25] hiexpo, en_US.iso8859-1 [02:26] hiexpo, The default locale is making so I am having problems with my encryption software [02:26] Circs, should be there unless u did a local e purge [02:26] Ok I'll poke through it on my reboot [02:27] hi, can someone help me get my broadcom wireless card working? i've followed the ndiswrapper procedure, but it's not working, it doesn't show up anywhere except lspci [02:28] blind, go here and read www.aircrack-ng and read compatibility and find your card and chipset follow directions ok [02:29] <[[thufir]]> hmm. trying to edit the default os which loads, I'm in boot/grub and thought it was boot but can't find it :( [02:29] hi all [02:29] Nobody for my problem with aMule? [02:29] had a quick question about apt-get source [02:29] anyone know enough about passive connection issues in proftpd to tell me how to fix an install that will not regularly accept passive connections? [02:29] !ask [02:29] 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. :-) [02:29] how do you install java plugin without being connected to the internet on ubuntu? [02:30] apt-get source - how do you get the build/configure line? I need to add a patch and parameters to the configure line and then do the build, but i'm not sure how to go about it [02:30] nabeel: to rebuild a package, type "debuild" [02:31] nabeel: the debian/rules should have the build rules [02:31] <[[thufir]]> the grub wikipedia says to gksudo gedit menu.lst however, I can't find this file in boot/grub ...? [02:31] maco: I see... so just apt-get source ; debuild; [02:31] Thanks for all the help. [02:31] nabeel: well apt-get source it, then patch it, then debuild [02:31] Hopefully it all works out. [02:31] nabeel: youll have a new deb [02:32] ubuntu 10.04 has so many restriction im starting to hate ubuntu.... ubuntu is starting to be like Windows [02:32] nabeel: will need to "apt-get build-dep " too to get all the build dependencies [02:32] austin: try kubuntu [02:32] austin: also 10.04 is OT for this channel. that's in #ubuntu+1 [02:32] why whats kubuntu like [02:32] austin: more options :) [02:32] maco: ahh ok, I'm looking at the debian/rules right now. yeah, i have the dependencies down, just trying to integrate a patch in but keeping all the ubuntu paths [02:32] like what [02:33] austin, what are you looking for is more like the ? [02:33] if you're wondering, i'm trying to get php-fpm patched into php5.3.2, or at least get the configure line so i can manually compile it [02:33] austin: it's kde instead of gnome. gnome tries to simplify things to not confuse the user, including sometimes not having the button you want. kde tries to give you lots of power, so it lets you configure just about everything [02:34] austin: so if your issue is that ubuntu is preventing you from doing what you want, maybe kubuntu is the answer. it was for me. [02:36] thanks everyone! [02:36] Is my problem with kad in aMule due to old version for Ubuntu 8.04? [02:36] i don't see the ubuntu restricts anything myself i like ubuntu because of gnome desktop dont like kde desktop but to each is own everyone is differant [02:36] like i cant change the gdm greeter , compiz is shaved down, its like im in bars [02:37] oo, this is tricky - php has several packages - php5-common, php5-cli, php5-cgi - so I have to patch all three of those?

I don't think it's in the official repos, but it is available in a PPA. http://linuxhub.net/2009/11/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala/ [02:49] df [02:50] kd8bxp, remeber this is linux and there is not a whole lot of options so the best decision made is to go to the store and see what they are selling and go home and see if it is comparable with Linux //// remember Google is your friend so if i want to buy so say a dongle i would type for instance linksys wusb 100 in Linux or use wusb100 in Ubuntu and see what the results are [02:51] Hello, can I deactivate the "Line port" of my soundcard somehow with pulseaudio? Or can I redirect MIC to LINE? The Problem is a wine app seems using LINE IN instead of MIC and I can't change it... [02:52] can someone help me set up my broadcom card? I've tried ndiswrapper and compat-wireless, neither has worked.. [02:52] @hiexpo ok, thanks - Looks like there is an expermental driver for the cheapie I am looking at [02:53] infid.I use the feed-applet that comes with the newer awn. it does notify [02:53] @hiexpo the price is right, it may be worth it just to play with it, how else would I learn! :-) [02:53] alpicola: yes, i mean 3.6, Thank you. [02:55] kd8bxp, and remember just by asking is this chineese made soso gonna work ? who knows you need a model number and the version of it and than see we all look out for each other here in Linux so if it's a pos you'll know or visvera [02:56] hi, is there any way for me to connect to a wireless network then share that internet connection through ethernet? [02:56] does anyone else have a strong feeling that ubuntu is getting worse every new version? just installed 8.10 it's a dream comparing to 10.04 =) [02:56] feels like an upgrade [02:56] @hiexpo true enough, and I don't have those answers, and just because it looks like a brand name usb capture card doesn't mean anything, but you gave me an idea to go on - thnx [02:57] #ubuntu-ru [02:57] kd8bxp, no prob hope you learned something that is themost important thing [02:58] Hello every body .. I am looking for you'r help I want to get simply preview of the image file on my system and I don't want to get the preview of other files .. i.e., .pdf or .txt etc files so is it possible to get this .. If yes then how ?? Please reply ... Thanks in advance for your help .. [02:59] hey ppl [02:59] @hiexpo I found it on ebay, and the hong kong sellers really don't give a whole lot of info about, other then it doesn't work with vista 64...but no model numbers or anything - it looks like a haupaug (sp) but that doesn't mean anything [03:00] how would i update the kernel to a new release from a cd or a usb is there a guide [03:00] or should i just install 10.1 beta and hope the kernel fix made it in there [03:01] hello,everyone [03:01] I open a website link in Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox,but when I login in ,it always get error messages [03:01] like this === ihermosilla is now known as Jose27 [03:02] Error Occurred While Processing Request [03:02] sun.io.ByteToCharEUC_CN.getIndex1()[S [03:02] [03:02] Please try the following: [03:02] * Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.

[03:03] kd8bxp, let me offer another word to the wise i was selling a so called wifi card and was buying them for almost a year and the supplier never chaged the model nuber but the version it had a differant chipset and would not work i did everything in my power to make it work /// not lol i was stuck with 325 cards that were boat anchors [03:05] sahak, leave it open [03:05] @hiexpo Linksys did that for a while, don't know if they still are - but I ended up with maybe 10 or so WIFI cards that were worthless, but I feel your pain 325 is way too many! At least I was able to pawn off the cards to my windows friend (I've tried, but some people are stuborn) [03:06] I have a problem,when i login in a forum with firefox in Ubuntu 9.10,I get these error messages http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/50652 [03:06] Jeanvaljean, it doesn't seem to be a problem with Ubuntu or Firefox. Contact the site admin [03:06] Buenas [03:06] does something wrong with the java jre or jdk? [03:07] Im sorry [03:07] Jeanvaljean, have you installed JRE?

[03:09] Jeanvaljean, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [03:10] Hi i just installed gnome on my server. What do i do now :P [03:10] I have even attempted running the Kodak software through a Windows XP Virtual Machine (in Virtual Box), but the spooler just seems to time out. [03:10] tm0: asking why there is gnome on a server [03:10] tm0: asking yourself :) [03:10] can someone help me set up my broadcom card? I've tried ndiswrapper and compat-wireless, neither has worked.. [03:10] Iceroot it isn't for me. A friend wants to watch hulu, so thats how he is doing it :P [03:11] tm0: hm [03:11] joder mandale cojones con este server [03:11] Jeanvaljean, check the "Choosing the default Java to use" section in the URL I gave [03:11] qmail: Depends: ucspi-tcp but it is not installable <-- why would this not be installable? === will is now known as Fossil [03:11] Is it possible for me to run ubuntu 10.04 on a 800 mhz machine with 512 mb of memory? [03:11] @Blind My broadcom card was listed in the restricted drivers, I needed to hookup a hard line to the NIC for it download the drivers, but otherwise it was fine. [03:11] I also see an 'E: broken paackage' [03:11] any thoughts? [03:12] epic93, yes [03:12] epic93: sure, but is that then running gnome, ff, tbird, etc? [03:12] might be a bit slow [03:12] epic93: #ubuntu+1 and a little info, i am running 9.10 fine on 630mhz with 512mb ram [03:12] anyone using poweredge 1800? [03:12] kd8bxp, that's what i was expecting, and it did it on the live usb, but it doesn't show up, i can [03:12] cool [03:12] 't install it [03:13] question -- how do i get kopete to recognize my built in web cam? [03:13] epic93: With this configuration I would take a look on a ubuntu + e17 combination. It is definitly possible to run ubuntu on your machine [03:13] @blind - hmmmm, weird - I wish I could help you out, have you tried the wiki? there was a lot of info there about the broadcom cards pre-8.04 [03:13] crazygir, is ucspi-tcp in your repos? Check sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search ucspi [03:13] Thanks. I think I'll give it a shot some time.

[03:16] ???????? [03:16] <|littlebear|> nvm [03:16] crazygir, so you don't have the package in your repos. That's the problem. Are you using any unofficial repos? [03:16] Good night all, wife says I have to get up at 6 am...she is making me goto sleep :-( Night Night [03:16] @hiexpo Thanks again for the info! Night. [03:16] night [03:17] gaveen: I'm not that kinda user.. this is stock ubuntu server.. I would expect qmail to install fine [03:17] how do i use my web cam on kopete? === xumuk37 is now known as XuMuK [03:18] crazygir, hmm,.. that's weird if it's a stock installation. Have you run partial system updates? [03:18] night [03:18] tm0, if you are in runlevel 2 or a non-GUI runlevel try startx command [03:18] gaveen: I haven't no, but it is possible one of my admins has.. someone else is actually responsible for this system, but I need to setup qmail :P [03:19] should I run a complete update? [03:19] apt-get update? [03:19] crazygir, how are you trying to install qmail. apt-get install or by a download .deb file? [03:19] quien va actualizar en ubuntu o una distro basada en debian [03:20] gaveen: apt-get install [03:20] si hay que descargar el archivo jumm valla distro, deberria tenerlo en sus repositorios [03:20] Hi, I just install Lucid Lynx and... It seems to boot without the tool bar(s) [03:21] Can anyone help me fix this? [03:21] Wilabob: tool bars? :f [03:21] crazygir, anyway, it's good practice to run a apt-get update before installing a new package. [03:22] gaveen,I set up the Java following your URL instruction,but it doesn't work [03:22] maybe it's the website's problem [03:22] coldfusion [03:22] gaveen: no go [03:22] daz: Y'know the bars on the top and bottom? They aren't there, so I cant start any apps or anything... [03:22] Jeanvaljean, can you tell me the version string you get when you run java -version ? [03:22] Wilabob: panels <: [03:23] maybe I should just be using postfix.. [03:23] Wilabob: f2 gnome-panel [03:23] Wilabob: start gnome-panel, alt+f2 should start run thingie [03:23] gaveen java version "1.6.0_0" [03:23] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1) (6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1) [03:23] OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing) [03:24] Jeanvaljean, so you are using OpenJDK not Sun JDK. Which is fine. So I still think it's a problem with the site. [03:24] daz: OK, but why doesn't it do that on startup? [03:24] and the website is www.wilmott.com when you login in or register an account,you'll meet the error [03:24] yeah~~ [03:24] anyone?

[03:26] <|littlebear|> th3sk3ptic: skype [03:26] th3Xfagtr: i guess the nswer is skype [03:26] anyone used moblock or peerblock and have any review of it? [03:26] <|littlebear|> hanasaki: what's that? [03:26] is there skype for linux? [03:26] th3Xfagtr: yes [03:26] test [03:26] !skype | th3Xfagtr [03:26] th3Xfagtr: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [03:26] beear: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock#MoBlock%20closed%20the%20port%20for%20my%20torrent%20client.%20How%20do%20I%20open%20it%20again? [03:26] crazygir, qmail is is your repos right? Don't have access to an Ubuntu server to check [03:26] ok [03:27] gaveen: qmail is, the other package isnt' [03:27] thanks a lot,gaveen~~~ [03:27] <|littlebear|> hanasaki: ah sorry, I use transmission for my bt client [03:27] i have two harddrives on my computer. one has windows, the other ubuntu. does anyone know how i can run the windows on a ubuntu window? [03:28] with VMware monnor [03:28] virtual box [03:28] i cant seem to figure virtual box out [03:28] is it possible to run an actual install off of a HDD in virtual box? I thought it only used ISO images. [03:29] gnome doesn't seem to be spell checking for the us dialect of english. am i missing a package or something? [03:29] Omen_20: "actual install off of a HDD?" [03:30] crazygir, it's not likely that they've included qmail without the deps. :/ Anyway, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qmail [03:30] |littlebear|: looks like a firewall of sorts [03:30] you can use a cd as the install source if you want, and i suppose if you hated yourself, you could figure out how to build an image by hand [03:30] I'm on 9.10 live USB, can I install 10.04 directly? [03:30] "us dialect of english" hehehe [03:30] Yeah. monnor seems to be asking if he can virtually run an install of Windows in virtual box. I didnt know if that was possible. I had only done things like the ISO image of ChromeOS and testdrive. [03:30] monnor: That is a rather tricky thing to do as you want to start an existing windows installation as a virtual installation. You would have to add all the virtualbox devices to your existing windows installation as a new hardware profile. [03:31] <|littlebear|> hanasaki: I use iptable + firestarter for my firewall [03:31] but is there no way to boot the harddrive that i already have on a ubuntu window [03:31] Omen_20, some virtualization software can use HDD installs. I can't remember which VMware or VirtualBox. Probably both. [03:32] ok. thx [03:32] can anyone help me get my netbook bluetooth working, ive spent hours searching to find out what the hardware is and i cant find it [03:32] hmmm firestarter? [03:33] where can i see the status of my network connections? [03:33] gaveen, VirtualBox can work with physical partitions, but it's a "for experts only" sorta thing http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [03:34] <|littlebear|> hanasaki: painless firewall [03:34] woody_: you will find the hardware typing 'lsusb' (probably) in a console. Also check 'dmesg' and look for bluetooth specific messages. [03:35] minimec: i tried that, my display goes all funky every time [03:35] woody_: funky by opening a console? funky what? [03:36] where can i see the status of my network connections? [03:36] |littlebear|: firestarter vs ufw ? thoughts? [03:37] robuntu: ifconfig iwconfig <-- console [03:37] <|littlebear|> hanasaki: u're choice, though I like firestater because I see the button and current in/outs on the bottom [03:37] robuntu, in a shell with command ifconfig [03:37] thanks [03:37] ok, i installed the wifi driver with ndiswrapper it says the "driver is installed and the pci device is present" ... but nm-applet is still not seeing anything? nor is the light blinking on the card, what is wrong??? [03:37] ZykoticK9, yes, just rechecked. And vmware also can. http://mazimi.wordpress.com/2007/06/24/virtualization-of-an-existing-physical-partition-of-windows-within-linux/ Omen_20 [03:37] robuntu, with command ethtool if you need to look at physical state [03:38] Minimec: sorry my connection died. My display goes crazy [03:38] Woody-: Crazy by doing what, openig a simple gnome-terminal? [03:38] hello, laptop has a rj12 input for telephone line, if i set up my laptop to connect to DSL with this port, where is a good guide to troubleshoot antennuation, noise margin ect with ubuntu ? [03:39] minimec: running that lshu command... i think i got the command spelt the command but i know the one your talking about [03:39] robuntu, you can see the connection status in th NetworkManaget applet in GUI. Or in a commad-line try $ ip link show [03:40] melwtech35, if by chance you have an internal DSL modem you can check the corresponding /proc/atm entries [03:40] leagris, ok sounds good, so if my driver is set up properly i should have /proc/atm? or will atm only be created once the DSL connection is active === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:41] melwtech35, somewhere under the net tree or via the /sys or /proc/sys [03:41] leagris, thanks :) [03:41] Hey, I could really use some help, I cant seem to get my System Monitor app to run, here is a screenshot of my issue http://mpfnqq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1phPCaZcRl_aA-qQ744fJsinsbEhfqkJp6u-M34IgDiylVF7MgdXXhNPXb6mA-KWifXd1HkR589c9-5UDa1aReOfdxT0RYYy-d/Screenshot.png [03:42] woody__: I can't see any reason why a disply could go 'crazy' by typing lsusb in a gnome-terminal. so what does 'dmesg' say? [03:42] minimec: ok sry that one worked its the lshu that makes it go nuts [03:42] okay, so i've finally gotten my wireless card to show up, but it now says "device not ready" [03:43] |littlebear|: talk a bout false postives... remote port is 993 for imps.. local is port sun-rpc dynamically assigned... so now I don't get imaps ... nice firewall .. NOT [03:43] minimec: the only device that isnt a root hub show. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b175 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd [03:44] melwtech35, line here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/409813/ [03:44] Okay, so I'm trying to resize my ect3 sda1 ubuntu partition with the live CD using Gparted. Gparted says it can't find a valid fylesystem superblock when it tries to edit the ubuntu partition. Anyone have any tips on making it work? [03:44] woody__: check also dmesg [03:45] minimec: where should i be looking its a lot of data [03:46] woody__: words like 'bluetooth' and 'bnep' [03:46] I just built a test box, and used grsync to load my home directory onto the box, but some files didn't make the trip, like .bashrc? I fixed it with gftp, but why did grsync miss it? [03:48] minimec: nothing listed... ubuntu cant find any bluetooth device. when i run windows the onboard bluetooth is fully functioal so i know its here [03:48] what is the difference between id_rsa and id_dsa? I've always heard that the latter should be preferred, but looking at them, they're both DSA keys... [03:49] DES* keys, I mean [03:49] hey all [03:49] has anyone ever booted a windows partition in virtualbox? [03:49] woody__: can you http://paste.ubuntu.com/ the out put of lsusb, please [03:50] yes mdavidn [03:50] mdel [03:50] arnpro: nice... so you can use windows inside of ubuntu most of the time, and boot into full windows when necesary? [03:50] sure [03:51] arnpro: ok cool... i anticipate needing to boot into windows directly when I need to work in flash [03:51] otherwise, as a web developer, ubuntu was a good move :) [03:51] in web server environments is it save to allow group access to www-data for read and write? [03:51] safe* [03:52] hi people! here is a noobic question.. how do I change my password? =) [03:52] Does anyone know if the AZIO AW154a PCI wifi adaptor works in Ubuntu? It's not listed in their list but seems to have Linux drivers on their website. [03:52] I guess that answers your question lvsub [03:52] I know it shoudl work but having a driver doesn't seem to be a guarantee I noticed [03:52] progre55: go to Administration -> Users & Groups [03:52] I just wondered if anyoen had used one? [03:52] minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/409822/ [03:53] in web server environments is it safe to allow group access to www-data for read and write? [03:53] progre55: did that do it? [03:54] do you guys block all webchat users? [03:54] juboba: yep, thanks [03:54] goddard_: what group access? [03:54] juboba: and just out of curiosity, how do I change it from a command line? ) [03:55] woody__: COuld it be that you have some "Bluetooth on/off" button on that laptop [03:55] progre55: type: passwd [03:55] I'm running a pythonscript from terminal and routing the output with "http://script.py/ > output" to a file. This routing produces a segmentation fault. If I run the script without "> output" it works fine. What do I miss? I'm trying since hours, but I can't get it solved. I think the problem could'nt be in the code, because it works without routing. Glad for any hintd... [03:56] minimec: i have a keyboard FN control which doesnt do anything when i use it. there arent any hardware buttons [03:56] ruhsadlkfa;skldfjkl;asdjflaskjdf;laskdjf;laksdjf;ajsdfasdf [03:56] ksdjfkl;asdfhjklashdkjfhasldkfhlajksdhfkljashdfljkhasdlkfhalksdjfhlkajsdhflkajdhsflkjadhslkjfhasdlkfjhalsdkjfhasdhflkasdjfhlajksdfhlakjdfhlasjkdfhlakjsdfhlakjsdfhlaksdj [03:57] <|littlebear|> hanasaki: hehe, well, the firewall isn't that smart [03:57] howdee [03:57] juboba: thanks man, appreciate ) [03:58] woody__: Your bluetooth is not recognized I guess. Dmesg should show you something like this ... (http://paste.ubuntu.com/409829/) [03:58] when I run ps -ef on a process what does the time 1-07:40:51 mean? [03:58] Is it true that some of the cheap wifi cards can be difficult to get working in Linux because of the chipsets they tend to use? ie what chipset tends to give the least trouble in Linux? [03:58] specifically how much time does that represent? [03:58] juboba: hmm.. I changed my user pass, and set a pass to root, but the bash pass has not been changed.. [03:59] woody__: Now I don't know if the dongle is simply not activated or if it isn't recognized. Check www.tuxmobile.org if you find some info about that laptop. [03:59] juboba: for instance when I type "sudo bash", the new pass is incorrect, and the old one is correct [04:00] progre55: what? === kasun is now known as Guest23434 [04:00] minimec: this is the link to my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/409830/ [04:00] progre55: why are you doin that? [04:00] juboba: how do I change the sudo pass? [04:01] progre55: the sudo password is your password [04:01] juboba: I mean, the password you enter when you type "sudo bash" [04:01] progre55, sudo is asking for your password, not root password [04:01] progre55: sudo is a command to execute commands as ROOT [04:01] okay, but I dont think it changed.. [04:01] progre55: it is NOT logging as ROOT [04:01] progre55, you said you changed root password, not your password [04:01] woody__: Now I don't know if the dongle is simply not activated or if it isn't recognized. Check www.tuxmobile.org if you find some info about that laptop. [04:02] I changed my own password, too [04:02] woody__: the system doesn't see your bluetooth dongle. [04:02] progre55: if you want to change ROOT password (and activate ROOT account) which I don't recomend, you log in as root: sudo su. And then you change the password: passwd [04:03] Hi all, any help on why netbeans doesn't follow double click speed settings? [04:03] minimec: would this be a driver issue or hardware [04:03] progre55, first find out which user credentials you are running. Run whoami. Then when sudo asks for password give that users password. [04:03] juboba: well, apparently when I changed my pass from the gui (administration> users & groups) it didnt change [04:04] juboba: and now I changed it from a command line, and it works [04:04] uhm [04:04] progre55: should be the same [04:04] well, donno, didnt work [04:04] progre55: BUT sometimes the password is TOO WEAK, in that case it doesn't change, but it tells you. [04:05] juboba: I dont think it was too weak =) [04:05] woody__: how should I now... You can also check the output of lspci. Maybe you have a wlan/bluetooth combo device [04:05] I highly doubt that.. [04:06] hello world [04:06] minimec: i think it is a combo [04:07] woody__: So... If wlan is working, I guess it is more driver related... Don't you think so? [04:07] well, I'm off to bed [04:07] thanks people for all the support [04:07] juboba: thanks again =) [04:08] minimec: my wlan is barely working with ther kernel drivers... i just rebuilt my machine but to get wlan working consistenly i had to get the madwifi drivers [04:08] does there exist an RSS reader that syncs (not imports, syncs) with google reader? [04:08] I feel like a stump [04:08] any way i could try to track down better drivers for my wlan? [04:09] woody__: So check the output of lspci... find the wlan/bluetooth device and search the net for more information in combination with ubuntu [04:09] woody__: Madwifi could brake bluewooth support... [04:10] woody__: Try to boot once wothout using madwifi === km is now known as Guest87967 [04:10] Hay gerzell what's up [04:10] minimec: right now im running it clean... i just loaded 10.04 so there are no drivers loaded into it yet [04:11] i am getting a system error when i go to install my hardware graphics driver http://pastebin.com/ewc2DxkM [04:12] woody__: Well I guess I can't give you any further hints ... [04:14] Hi, I'm having trouble with 10.04. When I boot the panels don't appear. I have to start them manually with start gnome-panel. Is there anyway to fix this? [04:14] I just built a test box, and used grsync to load my home directory onto the box, but some files didn't make the trip, like .bashrc? I fixed it with gftp, but why did grsync miss it? [04:14] minimec: is there any way to track down what hardware is in this machine vs what drivers are loaded in? [04:14] Any ideads on my problem [04:14] ideas* [04:15] nvm i worked it out [04:15] ty [04:15] does anyone know of anyway to change the gnome log in screen? [04:16] I just installed xubuntu on an old machine with no internet. === Zero is now known as Guest74103 [04:17] is there a way to use mIRC servers on this? [04:17] to talk on them atleast [04:18] woody__: lspci should give you the info about the hardware. Synaptics about the used kernel and software driver [04:19] woody__: lsmod gives you the info about the loaded kernel modules [04:19] how would i go about using these commands? under terminal? [04:20] yes [04:20] thank you [04:20] What about loading a package with all the dependencies [04:20] minimec: thx [04:20] hey, hows it goin guys? hoping someone can help me with a browser issue. [04:21] What Issue? === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [04:21] Hi guys, I've just brought a HP mini101. It has an awefull hp media ubuntu remix installed. Anyway of removing said HPmedia? [04:21] dotblank: basically I want to have the current repository version of Firefox (3.6) installed concurrently with the nightly build (Minefield). [04:22] dotblank: but that doesn't work. Minefield takes over and links /usr/bin/firefox to itself apparently [04:22] dotblank: also tried reinstalling the firefox package, no dice :( [04:22] romove firefox first then intall [04:22] Does Minefield Work Properly? [04:23] dotblank: yup, minefield works fine. but I need 3.6 too so I can have addon compatibility. arlo3d: that doesn't work. [04:23] how can I use local user accounts as samba users rather than create a specific samba user? [04:24] i have the same problem on wifes computer, tried to upgrade to 3.6 but gave me minefield [04:24] usually You Can Use Firefox- and Start The Specific Ff Version [04:24] msmooth: really? hmm...sounds like a common issue then. I can't figure out how to launch 3.6, everything links to minefield now. [04:24] stiltzkin: use /usr/bin/firefox-3.6 [04:25] This linux thing sets me on fire. [04:25] when you register cann other ppl see the pass? [04:25] acicula: launches minefield. x( [04:25] Can You Ls /usr/bin | Grep Firefox [04:25] what version is "minefield" [04:25] Im On My Phone And It Caps Every Word [04:25] register [04:25] hahaha [04:25] dotblank: returns "firefox" and "firefox-3.5" which both start Minefield [04:26] hmm [04:27] dotblank: the only way I could see fixing this would be completely deleting my minefield folder, purging the firefox package, and then reinstalling it. But then I can't use Minefield... :( [04:27] i take it no one can see what im typing? [04:27] you Could Try Installing Out Of Tee [04:27] dotblank: out of tee? what's that [04:27] hello? [04:28] Guest74103: hey, what's up? [04:28] well You Don't Install It Relative To / [04:28] not Too Sure How [04:28] Guest74103 I think i see u behind the bushes [04:28] if anyone can see this please tell me, i need some help [04:28] haha [04:28] dotblank: not sure what you mean. this doesn't make any sense to me because my minefield folder isn't in my path [04:29] Guest74103: hey I read you. whatcha need help with? [04:29] well just first how do i register and second how do i install flash on ubuntu?? [04:29] If I Was On My Desktop I May Be Able To Help [04:30] i tried and i keep gettn so many different errors lol [04:30] \There r too many people talking here what can i do to get less [04:30] I Wonder If Apt Urls Work In Xchat [04:30] Guest74103: you mean on IRC? when you connect to Freenode, type /nick and then the username you want to use. To install flash, open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" [04:31] apt://flash-plugin-nonfree [04:31] or what dotblank said :) [04:31] u could always also goto applications/ubuntu software and search for adobe [04:31] oooh another sudo command [04:31] riiight [04:31] lol [04:31] Guest74103: what's that supposed to mean? [04:33] hmmm so no one has any clue why Minefield tends to take over your Fx install? [04:33] nothing nothing my mind is racing ive been at it all day running different thigns to install haha [04:33] @Guest74103, try searching in Ubuntu's Software manger for 'adobe' or 'flash' [04:33] too much terminal for me [04:34] all of Ubuntu's software (if it's in a repository) can be seen and installed there [04:34] Guest74103: then use Ubuntu Software Center (click Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center). Then search for "Flash." That should do it. [04:35] Synaptic Package manager, forgot about that :P [04:35] Guest74103: don't even bother with Synaptic, too much can go wrong in there. Use USC [04:35] AHH YES! i see it lol [04:35] oh ok [04:35] Guest74103: ubuntu-restricted-extras is the package that gets most things needed. flash, mp3 codecs ... etc [04:35] Go there first...odds are whatever you are looking for is in there--or at least an open-source variant [04:36] alright I really need my Fx back. I'm gonna nuke Minefield unless anyone has any last-minute ideas [04:36] alright thanx all cya [04:36] Guest74103: no prob [04:37] I'm following this - http://linuxtrove.com/wp/?p=3 - to install 9.10 from my lan as it is supposed to be quicker than the cd install - anyone else tried something like it? [04:38] mudder: haven't tried it myself, never needed to. keep in mind that while LAN installs can be faster, you can run into problems if your network goes down. No one wants a half-cooked system :P [04:38] everytime I've ever done netinstalls, it always takes longer...unless I'm not installing very much [04:39] always used CD. more reliable - CDs can be verified, MD5'd, etc. And your CD drive is much less likely to fail than your network. [04:39] if you are just installing a server, you might be ok--but even the CD install isn't that big ... [04:39] stiltzkin: I've never had a lan go down yet... [04:40] mudder: well then it might be okay. but seriously, a full CD install has never taken me more than 30 mins. I'd still go that route to save me the other complications that might come up [04:41] net installs work great most of the time with shorter download [04:41] and greater bandwidth from lan than cd [04:41] mudder: depends on your network of course... [04:41] of course [04:41] how do you folks decide between sasl kerberos and gssapi? [04:42] Epsom salt is awesome [04:42] I am now shitting on the shitter every 10 mins [04:42] Not nessarily when you concider the band width you used to download the cd [04:42] I am now shitting on the shitter every 10 mins [04:43] how do you folks decide between sasl kerberos and gssapi? - sorry got disconnected [04:43] I am now shitting on the shitter every 10 mins [04:43] arlo3d: usually torrent my CDs, usually at a much higher speed than the HTTP requests a LAN install generates [04:44] arlo3d: especially right after a release, usually have my live and alt-inst images downloaded within 5 mins [04:45] hey [04:45] torrents are good when people use them many take far too long because of lack of use [04:45] hey what can i use to open .rar? [04:45] arlo3d: which is why they're awesome here. tons of people use them. and a large percentage of those people are liberal seeders [04:46] cosi: sudo apt-get install unrar. It'll be seamless with the unarchiver from then on [04:46] k [04:47] what's to say. I'm seeding right now and only have two people downloading. === rotor_ is now known as un4m31 [04:48] arlo3d: which cd? and probably that's a bandwidth issue not a torrent issue. check your nat. ESPECIALLY if you have Comcast or another traffic-shaping ISP === un4m31 is now known as rotor` [04:49] mudders link is about installing from a local lan - d/load would be limited only by the hd write speed [04:50] hey the unrar thing doesnt extract properly, i manually had to drag and drop [04:50] gottto: well, actually the bottleneck will still be lan speed. I could have a screamin fast SSD but if I'm installing over 802.11b it's still gonna suck. [04:50] your right. but I've never found a bit torrent faster than a direct download [04:51] stiltzkin: yep you're right there - but who would use wireless for that - it is ssooo slow :) [04:51] less seeders less speed [04:51] cosi: if you right click on the archive and click "Extract here" it should extract fine [04:51] gottto: true lol [04:52] arlo3d: you're kidding. almost every torrent I download is faster than straight http. It's one of two reasons BT exists: 1) reliability through distribution of file parts, and 2) greater throughput [04:53] \quit [04:54] okay dog your the geek when it take 12 hours to download a 640 mb file. that's too slow [04:55] can you view documents as HTML in open office? [04:55] arlo3d: it's telling you it's going to take 12 hours? something's not right. did you download the official .torrent? [04:55] I always get full speed with http - torrents can dribble in or run full speed [04:56] gottto: again, depends. on what you're downloading, who you're downloading it from, and how popular it is at the time [04:56] yep [04:56] official as they get. debian cds from the debian site. [04:57] hello. anybody here using pam_mount? even if i set no options, the mount is run as if the user=$USER,uid=$UID,gid=$GID options have been set. how can i prevent that? i only want user=$USER, not uid and gid. [04:57] arlo3d: ah hahaha. well debian might be another story. ubuntu cds are extremely popular on torrents. I only have one debian cd from years ago and I don't even think I torrented it [04:57] left the real world of linux did ya [04:58] arlo3d: course not; Ubuntu is debian to the core, don't try to deny it :P [04:58] I work with all types on purpose and feel debian will be around when others go away [04:59] arlo3d: probably. but most likely in the form of Ubuntu. Fastest-growing and most popular distro in history by a long shot. [05:00] I love Ubuntu. I look forward to its releases more than my birthday. [05:00] arlo3d: but slackware and fedora and the others aren't going anywhere soon. they have their place to be sure, I just don't feel it's on the desktop of the average user. IMHO [05:00] I accidentally set a background using feh. How do I get my old desktop back? [05:01] i don't even know what feh is [05:01] Many distor's have set a purpose. Debian just carries on. a debian distro will match Ubuntu with little effort and be much more computer friendly [05:01] it's a picture viewer [05:01] feh = simple image viewer [05:02] right-click on the desktop and choose "change desktop background" ? [05:02] Can't right click on the desktop. None of my icons show up. [05:02] Can't killall feh [05:03] arlo3d: depends on what you mean by "computer-friendly." If you mean more powerful then probably not, since Debian stable tends to lag behind Ubuntu in terms of software progress. And if you mean in terms of usability then also probably not, since Ubuntu generally does more to progressively make its interface more usable [05:03] whats the current version of kernel in daily build of ubuntu [05:03] Miyavix3: try "killall gnome-panel" (don't worry, it'll come right back) and see if you can right-click after that [05:04] !current [05:05] I disagree. Debian with Gnome or Kde or anything else uses less memory and can be installed on anything nearly. Ubuntu too with more work, but ... [05:06] you see... [05:06] arlo3d: custom install of Ubuntu (with a different WM like fluxbox, icewm, etc) and other tweaked settings can be just as flexible [05:06] are you look it? ubuntu ultimate? [05:06] rshakin: I think it's 2.6.32-19 [05:07] are you look it? ubuntu ultimate? [05:07] are you look it? ubuntu ultimate? [05:07] try to install Ubuntu on a computer with 192 mb ram. won't work without some extra work or using xubuntu. Debian will install on it with kde etc. [05:07] stiltzkin: ok good cause i think the hardware driver i need is been merged into the tree already as of .17 [05:07] stiltzkin: killall gnome-pannel didn't work [05:08] arlo3d: I've installed Ubuntu on a computer with 72MB ram, no CD drive, no USB, and a 802.11b network card. From a floppy disk. Runs like a dream [05:08] hello, how can I find what driver I'm using? (I'm getting _really_ low fps) [05:08] any reason I cant use 2 cores in VB anymore? [05:08] arlo3d, i have Ubuntu running on a computer with 128 MB of ram (used the alternate installer) and it works fine. [05:08] How do I disable tcp checksum offloading in Ubuntu 9.04? === zach is now known as Guest67798 [05:08] guys [05:09] i ned help rly bad [05:09] anybody here [05:09] i did however switch to xfce4 for lower overhead [05:09] ned help plox [05:09] stiltzkin: is there a way to get the 9.10 with the new kernel already in it is there a daily build images with updates [05:09] Tell me about your install and version [05:09] Ryan__, yes... [05:09] OK can someone help with this problem: basically [05:09] OK a while ago I installed 8.10 on my laptop right [05:09] rshakin: you mean 10.10 with the new kernel? [05:09] rshakin: er, 10.04 rather [05:09] then I later reinstalled Vista it deleted the grub right [05:09] stiltzkin: i mean 9 series [05:09] anyways, I lost my Ubuntu 8.10 disk [05:10] so I recently made a 9.10 disk cus [05:10] i thought it can install and auto upgrade your 8.10 thats already installed [05:10] Rayn [05:10] arlo3d, 8,04 PIII 950HMZ 128MB [05:10] rshakin: you'd have to do a lot of finegling to get a newer kernel running in 9.10. There will be lots of conflicting packages. Baddddd idea [05:10] but then I see that using this 9.10 disk can only overwrite the partition that 8.10 is using but that'll delete all my files on my ubuntu folders! [05:10] Rayn go get super grub disk [05:10] arlo3d, workied fine out of the box, i installed xfce and removed gnome [05:11] so how do I reinstall the grub so I can pick 8.10 again and then upgrade the Ubuntu from 8.10 using 8.10 [05:11] stiltzkin: whats the most curent version for 9 series [05:11] or can I use the 9.10 disk to upgrade my 8.10 [05:11] so anyways can anyone help with that? [05:11] arlo3d wat?? [05:11] rshakin: 2.6.31-20 [05:11] If it's installed why remove gnome [05:11] wat do u mean [05:11] omg does anyone understand my problem [05:11] Ryan__, you can restore GRUB from a livecd [05:12] stiltzkin: is there a way to get the current iso build with that kernel i am not sure it shipped with that kernel [05:12] yeah but crypt [05:12] Ryan google super grub [05:12] did u get the details tho crypt [05:12] wait arlo WHY? [05:12] crypt, I have 8.10 on my computer but no 8.10 disk, ONLY a 9.10 disk so [05:12] hello, how can I find why my graphics card is misconfigured (I'm getting _really_ low fps) [05:12] can I use the 9.10 livecd to restore grub so I can boot my 8.10? cus 8.10 uses grub 1 [05:12] rshakin: which kernel do you want? If you want 2.6.32 then get the 10.04 daily build. If you're OK with 2.6.31 (latest stable) then get the latest 9.10. [05:12] Ryan__, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [05:12] so if nvidiea drivers are not helping your system any alternatives? Is there like a troubleshooting flowchart out there. I'm not even sure where to start. I just want better screen resolution. Right now, my system is unstable, freezing up, menus and dialogs aren't properly showing up. I've got a compaq presario AMD athlon Xp 2100 with onboard video. [05:13] Ryan__, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [05:13] crypt I already looked at that [05:13] Super grub less mental and works quick [05:13] i looked at that too omen [05:13] but my problem is more complicated because [05:13] Im trying to restore grub to boot into 8.10 [05:13] Ryan__, I think you can if you apt-get install "grub" from the live cd environment [05:13] but my live cd is for 9.10 [05:13] get it? [05:13] no it doesn't work cus my laptop wont detect internet when on the livecd [05:14] so im restoring grub to boot into 8.10 but my livecd is 9.10 using grub2 so wtf do I do ?? lol [05:14] So Ryan when u boot its not loading GRUB, what is happening? [05:14] when I boot normally it just goes to vista [05:14] Ryan__, see "For Grub Legacy" yes . [05:14] if I had my 8.10 CD I could restore grub easily but [05:14] Same HDD for both partitions or separate? [05:14] whynot burn the cd in vista [05:14] 8.10 [05:14] I burned 9.10 tho [05:14] Ryan__: easy: boot your 9.10 livecd, open a terminal, mount your / from your 8.10 install, chroot to it, source root's .bashrc, then just go through the grub installation steps [05:14] can I do it with 9.10 [05:14] its same HDD omen [05:14] Ryan__: just go download the 8.10 CD then: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ [05:14] Gnea how do I do that? [05:15] stiltzkin: i am just trying to make this wifi card work it's a buffalo wli-uc-gn thats not supported by the default 9.10 install as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441990 bug was fixed but i think it's down on daily build only [05:15] Ryan__, yes you can [05:15] but that takes HOURS [05:15] stiltz [05:15] Ryan__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:15] Ryan__, no it takes mins... [05:15] Ryan__: you're on dialup? [05:15] it took 1 hour 30 mins to download the 9.10 [05:15] no im on wireless highspeed but its wireless so maybe thats why [05:15] a 2TB drive I had failed last night, all attempts to recover have failed so far... thinking that if I resize the partition (only used like 30G of it) I might be able to clone it to a smaller disk... any one know a better way? [05:15] if you plug ethernet in, i bet it will detect net on livecd [05:15] Ryan__, http://pastebin.com/yv9qQTLs its that simple [05:15] Ryan__: no, I think you just caught a slow mirror. some mirrors are faster than others. if it's slow, try cancelling it and trying again on another mirror. [05:16] Ryan__ : how fast is your wireless connection? [05:16] Gnea can you maybe explain that more cus I have my laptop with the ubuntu problem right next to me [05:16] its fast its cable internet [05:16] uh whats with the lameass suggestions given to Ryan__ ? [05:16] yea, slow mirror [05:16] Ryan__: well, it's just like I said. just make sure you use sudo -i to get to a proper root shell [05:16] no crypt that wont work because [05:16] ryan: plug laptop into wired connection and apt-get grub from the livecd [05:16] the 9.10 livecd doesn't use legacy grub it uses grub2 [05:17] Ryan__: boot your 9.10 lice disc.. then mount your 8.10 / partition on somewhere (say /tmp/myoldroot) [05:17] Ryan__, use ethernet if possible [05:17] Ryan__: the point of using chroot is to fool the system into thinking your 8.10 system is a 'working' system [05:17] anyone use snort? :) [05:17] msmoothfreakabcd wait so... [05:17] snort [05:17] omg gnea wat... [05:17] Ryan__: then just chroot to that.. then do the grub-install thing [05:17] freakabcd so HOW do i do that?? [05:18] Ryan__, I KNOW [05:18] Ryan__: step 1: put livecd in drive. step 2: turn the computer on. let me know when that's done and the livecd is booted up please. [05:18] in ram.. http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/20-148-087-S01?$S640W$ on top of the connector there are two litle tiny holes one on each side.. what are those for?? [05:18] Ryan__, the 9.10 CD has legacy grub but uses grub2 by default [05:18] SuperMiguel: air, keychains. [05:18] OH so how do I use the legacy grub on 9.10 live CD? [05:18] Gnea its booted [05:18] SuperMiguel: and quite possibly some heat disappators [05:19] Ryan__: good, now open a terminal [05:19] Ryan__, the above pastebin, followed by sudo update-grub NOT sudo update-grub2 [05:19] Ryan__: boot into live environment. then figure out your old 810 partition, (using "fdisk -l" if necessary), then mount it: sudo mkdir /tmp/myoldroot && mount /dev/sdaX /tmp/myoldroot [05:19] w8 w8 crypt and freakabcd first GNea is telling me something w8 w8 w8 w8 w8 w8 w8 [05:19] Ryan__: I'm basically explaining to you the steps to what freakabcd is talking about [05:19] Ryan__: then chroot to it: chroot /tmp/myoldroot [05:19] Ryan__: now it is *almost* as if you have booted into 810 [05:19] OK OK w8 w8 w8 its loading to the livecd still [05:19] freakabcd, is a chroot really necessary? [05:19] <`blackmk4|imac> what would cause the internet to shut off on a cli ubuntu server randomly - it's an OS issue because windows doesn't do it on the same box and i've tried three nics [05:20] ganadist: I didn't realize that postfix was installed (and chrooted) by default [05:20] Ryan__: ok, let us know when it's properly booted all the way up. [05:20] <`blackmk4|imac> it comes back when i reboot, but never before that [05:20] so I'm setting this up now :) [05:20] Ryan__: i will leave the issue now since soneone is willing to explain the correct method of recovering in your case [05:20] I fixed my feh-changing-the-background problem by enabling icons in ubuntu tweak [05:20] all the other solutions given to you were .. moronic to say the least [05:20] gaveen: that was for you.. sorry ganadist [05:20] lol [05:21] o really.. [05:21] I installed karmic in an old HP zd7000 hp laptop. my wifi card is shown in lspci, but no wireless networks pop up so I can connect to them. What should I do? [05:21] how do you find out which version of ubuntu you are running? [05:21] crazygir: lsb_release -a [05:21] thanks. [05:21] wow. cryptic [05:21] anyone free to help with a diff issue? [05:21] OK GNEA it just loaded [05:21] Gnea it fully loaded live cd keke [05:21] crazygir: what's so cryptic about it? open a terminal and type that. [05:22] wait Gnea is on reserve for me pls pls can I rent Gnea hes mine for now [05:22] Ryan__: I can multitask :) [05:22] OK live CD is loaded gnea so firsst?? [05:22] Ryan__: open a terminal. [05:22] Gnea: no, that is certainly easy. but how would you have figured that out without a) asking here or b) googleing and praying that someone mentioned this [05:22] k [05:22] click on Applications->Terminal [05:22] Gnea: I'm used to bsd, where it's all simple simple [05:22] ya its loaded [05:23] are there install .tgz or such that I could grab fresh copies of /etc for an initial import --> svn [05:23] crazygir: well, I'm not all that good with bsd, but most of it seems to work somewhat the same, so I'd be lost just as well. /proc is totally different. [05:23] Gnea: to say the least :) [05:23] Gnea then what? [05:23] Ryan__: okay, now: sudo -i [05:24] crazygir: hehe [05:24] ooo kool then [05:24] Ryan__: okay, how many hard drives do you have? just the one? [05:24] so what's the easiest way to grab fresh /etc files? [05:24] uh [05:24] i think 2 [05:24] crazygir: not sure on that one... [05:25] i didnt use this ubuntu comp for months so i forget [05:25] Ryan__: it's not a laptop? [05:25] Gnea, how come they have lines underneath ending there? [05:25] it is a laptop [05:25] Gnea, like if something was connected to it [05:25] Ryan__: then probably just one [05:25] oh OK so then I guess 1 ? if laptops can only have 1 [05:25] does it matter should I check somehow [05:25] SuperMiguel: not sure, I think you'd have to look up the patent spec on that. probably from the 80's or something. [05:26] well Gnea I did sudo -i and I dont rememb how many harddrives I have so yea [05:26] Ryan__: probably just fine then. open firefox, please. [05:26] well , on THIS comp or the liveCD ubuntu? [05:26] i was using virtualbiox (OSE) to test it out and liked it, then i installed the full version of it, but only allows me 1 core now. I did have 2 cores in OSE. ? [05:26] Ryan__: the livecd [05:26] oh OK but u know it has no internet [05:26] cus livecd can't detect wireless [05:26] oh, I didn't know. it doesn't have wire? [05:27] no and my wire is in wayyy far away room and its being used etc. so ,lols [05:27] so wat does that mean? [05:27] well [05:27] I was going to ask you to use pastebin [05:27] why [05:27] unless you can figure out what your / partition is by looking at the output of this command: fdisk -l /dev/sda [05:28] ok it says.. [05:28] rshakin: sorry bout that, I'm back. looks like you should try this first: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9028760#post9028760 [05:28] ryan just get the super grub disk. no problems anymore [05:28] arlo3d: no no no. [05:28] OK gnea [05:29] i did it [05:29] Gnea, but sgd is so super [05:29] and it tells me a list with a bunch of fdisk and words after [05:29] sorry [05:29] Semitones: but he needs to learn, plus he wants to do it this way. [05:29] Gnea, good point :) [05:29] :) [05:29] arlo3d: np [05:29] :D [05:30] rshakin: and you're right, it was patched upstream. the fix is present in kernels starting with 2.6.32-18. So the 10.04 beta should fix it for you as wekk. [05:30] Ryan__: okay, how many in the list? and how many of them say 'Linux' to the far-right? [05:30] uh none [05:30] its not listing my partitions and their OS's [05:30] its listing like [05:30] change partition table [05:30] list partition table(s) [05:30] Ryan__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:30] etc. [05:31] Ryan__: make sure you're typing: fdisk -l (that's a lowercase L) [05:31] oh i typed 1 lol [05:31] so: fdisk -l /dev/sda [05:31] Is it just me or does 10.04 look more stable at beta 1 than 9.10 looked as a final release.... [05:31] OK I did it with L and now it says in the list, [05:31] 2 of them are Linux [05:31] voss749: not if you own an ati card :) [05:31] 1 is just Linux. 1 is Linux swap Solaris [05:31] Anyone know how to grab video directly from the webcam? i was hoping to mux /dev/audio and /dev/video0, but only audio works? [05:31] Ryan__: so just 1 is just plain 'Linux', okay [05:32] yea [05:32] note I asked for 'Linux', not 'Linux swap' ;) [05:32] so [05:32] lol yea [05:32] im nub [05:32] moymoy: google mencoder v4l. You can pipe v4l output into a video file. Or just use a GUI program like Cheese [05:32] stilzkin, 9.10 felt like a botch. The only thing wrong I see with 10.04 is the dang buttons on the left [05:32] Ryan__: it's cool. :) what does it say on the far-left of that 'Linux' partition? /dev/somnething? [05:33] yeah its /dev/sda1 [05:33] okay, then /dev/sda1 is your / [05:33] and I have windows on /dev/sda2 if it matters [05:33] oh Ok [05:33] stiltzkin: i used -ovc copy for mencoder using tv:// but when i played the video back, it was sped up like 5x [05:33] Whats windows? [05:33] it sux [05:33] it doesn't matter, we're just concerned about /. so: mkdir /tmp/rootdir [05:33] so Gnea then what? [05:33] voss749: to each his own. I've loved every distro except 9.04 - had bad experiences with that kernel series. And a lot of bad decisions were made in devel. And what buttons are you talkin about? Haven't seen much of it yet, as installing it would be pointless for me (ATI cards still unsupported) [05:34] hi [05:34] o ok [05:34] Ryan__: then: mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/rootdir [05:34] Ryan__: then type this to verify that it mounted: df -Th [05:34] OK [05:34] i entered those 2 and no lists came up or anything [05:34] stiltzkin: oh really? sounds like an encoding option. try out Cheese, that's simple enough [05:34] I have a question about Ubuntu and a Toshiba laptop. I put Lucid Beta on a L505 and am having problems w/the sound cutting out and the CPU overloading. Is this an inherit problem with Toshibas? Or can I except/hope that the final version of Lucid will be more stable? (please over look my chat-room etiquette...not sure about the approach one uses here...) [05:34] but its enetered [05:34] Ryan__: that's normal operation then. [05:34] o Ok [05:35] Ryan__: does it show up in the df -Th? [05:35] crowspur: you should first find out what's causing the CPU to spike. Are you on the computer now? [05:35] ???? df-Th? [05:35] whats that [05:35] Yes [05:35] Ryan__: a command. run it. [05:35] crowspur: alright open up a terminal and type "top" [05:35] OK i entered df -Th [05:35] it shows me [05:35] okay [05:35] it should tell you what all is mounted [05:36] a list with lots of percentages [05:36] and directories [05:36] that I don't really get, what should it be showing me on that? [05:36] crowspur: tell me what's at the top of that list and how much CPU it's using [05:36] what's the "it" that should show up [05:36] Hello what's the upgrade path from Beta 1 to release version? Automatic or do I need to uninstall/reinstall. (Using Wubi) [05:36] xorg but less than 1% [05:36] Ryan__: whatever is mounted [05:37] tehowe: automatic, iirc [05:37] uh [05:37] Ryan__: btw, I have to switch comps really quick, so I will brb, okay? [05:37] OK but brb quick or im screwed! lols [05:37] all i have running right now is pidgin [05:37] I just plugged in a USB SD card reader and I can't write to the SD card, how do I get write access to removable drives ? [05:37] stiltzkin: Cool. Glad it installed on my new acer, 9.10 was a washout [05:37] crowspur: so how often do you get these spikes in CPU usage? Every few seconds, minutes, hours...? [05:38] tehowe, In other 9.10 was a poc? === mute_ is now known as jynn [05:38] it spikes normally during music playback or when I go to 'reset' the sound... [05:38] tehowe: lol can't believe people are hatin on 9.10 in here. This is one of my favorite distros and I've been using Ubuntu since Warty [05:38] stiltzkin: Dumped me into bash shell during install so couldn't tell you :/ [05:39] stilzkin, 9.10 is good now but it was released unfinished. The netbook remix 9.10 didnt support networking on the dell mini 9 for goodness sake! [05:39] stiltzkin: video issue no doubt [05:39] tehowe: video issue no doubt [05:39] is there a package for intel embedded graphics drivers? [05:39] stiltzkin: Maybe. Was Acer 1410, brand new product at the time. [05:40] voss749: didn't use UNR, but 9.10 on the desktop gave me no trouble at release... [05:40] tehowe: what gfx card? [05:40] OK gnea im back [05:40] are u back [05:40] ...another question...maybe related...i have a dual core...and the 'cpu meter' (?) shows normal spikes with a light color 'overload' spikes in the back ground... [05:40] stiltzkin: Some integrated Intel chipset [05:40] tehowe: I ask because the number one thing that drops people to term at install is xorg issues with video drivers. [05:41] where might i find a copy of the files that would be installed for a given release? [05:41] stiltzkin, They could have held the NBR for a few weeks and fixed the problem easily. The dell mini 9 is one of the most popular netbooks around [05:41] Gnea [05:41] do I have to download an iso and vmount then go hunting? [05:41] Dougdoug4: yo [05:41] or might there be an ftp server I haven't been able to find? [05:42] is Gnea here how can I tell when hes back [05:42] voss749: then they should have done that...but like I said I didn't use UNR (and still don't, as I never did buy that Aspire One) but maybe I will someday. And from the looks of it most of the issues have been smoothed out now no? [05:42] Khisanth, yo [05:42] yo [05:42] :O [05:42] I find it hilarious that Ubuntu 10.04 nbr works better than the final release of 9.10 nbr [05:42] Dougdoug4: did you find the wmp plugin you were looking for? [05:42] no [05:42] The beta 1 works better [05:42] * Khisanth just did :P [05:42] o [05:42] LUCID/TOSHIBA: so it maybe be video related? [05:42] m [05:42] g [05:43] guys how do I tell when someone comes back on [05:43] Gnea is my hero and hes Gawn [05:43] voss749: eh, that's called good engineering, but a lousy release schedule ;) [05:44] hardware accel on intel would be cool [05:44] crowspur: I think it might have been. Though Intel gfx are normally pretty well supported. [05:44] okay [05:44] Hi. Can someone tell me how to create a VPN connection only for the logged on user using network-manager? I tryed via "configure vpn" from the tray icon, but It only shows in the menu if I check "available to all users". This however is frequently mentioned as probable cause for "no VPN secrets" [05:44] how can I make a ntfs drive automount at boot? [05:45] hi all [05:45] hi dean! [05:45] Gnea are you here [05:45] go dean [05:45] kn100: add the mount command to /etc/init.d/rc.local. It will execute automatically at boot [05:45] What support topic are you lookinf for help with? [05:45] hehe lets rawk this place [05:46] what does rawk mean [05:46] dean, if you want to party, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:46] stiltzkin, what mount command? [05:46] rawk = rock of c0urse [05:46] Lots of partying there :) [05:46] omg sorry didnt realize this was upport. im tryin xubuntu for first time [05:46] Ryan__: back [05:46] it works [05:46] YAAY! [05:46] never had much trouble with Ubuntu on ANY machine...even my old Toshiba...and this is a new one...have read about heat/acpi issues...but i thought being BETA...I could hoped that it was a bug [05:46] my hero is BACK! [05:46] kn100: er, well I guess we'll have to work that out. Do you have the drive plugged in now? Or is it an internal drive [05:46] stiltzkin, it's an internal drive [05:46] KOOL so then wat was next step? [05:46] intel gfx are only software accel without new drivers [05:46] wait [05:46] stiltzkin: The Acer 1410 has a Intel GS45 Chipset says teh web [05:46] it mounts at boot, but with funny permissions [05:46] kn100: sudo mount [05:47] hello y a un frenchy ici qui connaisse backtrack4 [05:47] dean what type of rock [05:47] I can edit files at user level, but transmissions says permission denied [05:47] Ryan__: alright, so now type: chroot /tmp/rootdir [05:47] stiltzkin, ^ [05:47] ok [05:47] kn100: permission denied if you try to save a file to your drive you mean? [05:47] stiltzkin, yes [05:47] kn100 sudo mount -a will mount all [05:47] OK and then? [05:48] who made backtrack ? [05:48] switch10_, that'll be useful in the future, thanks [05:48] kn100: but only in Transmission? You can create, delete, execute files as normal otherwise [05:48] Ryan__: if you type: pwd it should now come back with / [05:48] yes it did that [05:48] after i typed pwd [05:48] stiltzkin, in thunar yep [05:48] :D [05:48] stiltzkin, and thats without rooting it [05:48] Ryan__: now type: cd root and then: . .bashrc [05:49] so with those 2 periods? . .bashrc? [05:49] kn100: ok. hmm. well do this for me, open a terminal and type "mount" then paste the results on pastebin.ca or a similar site [05:49] If I install nvidia-glx-new or whatever [05:49] will that automatically replace nouveau? [05:49] Gnea [05:49] Ryan__: right [05:49] with those 2 priods? . .bashrc [05:49] Ryan__: yes. [05:49] OK then wat [05:50] stiltzkin, here you go http://pastebin.com/Q6USrugM [05:50] then type: lsb_release -r [05:50] anyway...thanks..stilzkin...i'll look into video issues...goodbye! [05:50] OK [05:50] and it says? [05:50] oh it says Release: 8.10 [05:50] :) [05:50] kn100: er, I don't see an ntfs drive here...did you have it mounted when you ran that command? [05:50] :D [05:51] stiltzkin, I have an 80gb drive, with a 15gb mounted at / and the rest mounted at /home/, and a 230 drive with two ntfs partitions [05:51] stiltzkin, no, let me mount it for you [05:51] rofl [05:51] is there a bejeweled clone for linux? [05:51] Ryan__: now: grub-install /dev/sda [05:51] kn100: ah ok lol. my bad, should have mentioned I needed that [05:51] stiltzkin, actually it's there [05:51] stiltzkin, /dev/sdb5/ [05:51] not found [05:51] kn100: so it's /dev/sdb5 [05:51] stiltzkin: sorry i was on the phone i will try it, is there a way to get those packages installed offline so i can get online... ? [05:51] hy [05:51] should I put grub-install /dev/sda1? [05:52] no... [05:52] stiltzkin, yes [05:52] it says /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device. [05:52] what the??? [05:52] rshakin: yeah, just download the .deb and save it for later [05:52] oh, RIGHT [05:52] randomusr: geweled iirc [05:52] lols [05:52] Ryan__: sorry, forgot a step :/ [05:52] o lol thatS OK [05:52] kewl so wats step [05:52] stiltzkin: ok will try doing that next [05:53] Ryan__: now type: exit [05:53] kn100: okay, well then you just need to add "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5" to /etc/init.d/rc.local and you should be set [05:53] ok [05:53] Ryan__: this should take you out of the chroot [05:53] then it tells me exit [05:53] kn100: if that doesn't work try "-t fuseblk" instead of "-t nfts-3g" [05:53] OK i think im out of it then cus it said Exit after [05:53] Ryan__: you can verify this by typing: lsb_release -r [05:53] how about any eidos clones? [05:53] stiltzkin: i actually almost have the cur lucid downloaded i am going to try that first if not i am going to then download the 9 version and do the kernel updates [05:53] yeah it says Release 9.10 so it exited lolZ [05:54] rshakin: cool, sounds like a plan :) [05:54] stiltzkin, let me try mounting it right now, see if that makes transmission work [05:54] !games > randomusr [05:54] randomusr, please see my private message [05:54] Gnea so then wat? [05:54] kn100: ok good call. if that doesn't work then we probably have a permissions problem with Transmission. I assume you're running Thunar as a regular user [05:55] stiltzkin, yeah, everything else *i think* isn't having an issue writing to it [05:55] Ryan__: okay, now type: mount -o bind /dev /tmp/rootdir/dev [05:55] OK [05:55] done [05:56] stiltzkin, ok I think i just found the issue... [05:56] kn100: i had this kind of thing happen to me on and off on previous releases with various programs, some of it ended up being drive permissions and some of it was program configs. [05:56] Ryan__: and now: chroot /tmp/rootdir [05:56] stiltzkin, the upgrade to lucid added an incomplete torrent selection, it was trying to save my incomplete torrents at / [05:56] Ryan__: then cd root && . .bashrc [05:56] kn100: AHA! [05:56] stiltzkin, wow rofl [05:57] kn100: like I said, sometimes it's permissions, sometimes it's dumb settings like that [05:57] stiltzkin, thanks for all the help man :D [05:57] Gnea: OK done [05:57] stiltzkin, you look like you have your hands full here [05:57] kn100: lol no prob dude :) [05:57] ok, NOW: fdisk -l /dev/sda [05:57] kn100: haha nah not really, just hangin out [05:57] and thats lower L right [05:57] Ryan__: it should return the same as before [05:57] Ryan__: yes.

[06:07] !ru | Brauzer [06:07] foxmulder881: what ubottu said [06:07] Brauzer: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:07] Ryan__: sorry [06:07] Gnea: lols [06:07] stiltzkin, how do I change that? in root nautilus when I set permissions to kn100 it just switched back [06:07] Gnea: well I typed wat u said, then it doesn't list anything back to me [06:07] Ryan__: then that means it worked. now: umount /tmp/rootdir [06:07] Ryan__: just hate ppl that are ignorent [06:08] rshakin: lol same [06:08] kn100: hang on a sec, wanna make sure I'm givin you the right command [06:08] Gnea: OK did it [06:08] Ryan__: ok, now df -Th should not list /dev/sda1 anywhere :) [06:09] stiltzkin, okay :D [06:09] Gnea: OMG... it lists sda1 TWICE ... [06:09] Gnea: just jking :P It's not listed [06:09] haha [06:09] kn100: okay, do sudo chown -R foo /media/sdb5/seeding [06:09] Gnea: Ok kool so wat does this mean? [06:09] Ryan__: okay, you should be able to reboot, remove the cd and it should work [06:09] stiltzkin, foo being? [06:09] Gnea: OK [06:09] kn100: your username, sorry [06:09] Ryan__: it means you shouldn't paste that here ;) [06:10] Gnea: Rebooting... [06:10] stiltzkin, ah awesome :D [06:10] Gnea: lol pasting what? [06:10] Ryan__: that crap lol [06:10] I have no idea what it says [06:10] here is the dota cannel? [06:10] channel [06:10] Gnea: lols k [06:10] Brauzer, this is not for chat [06:10] Gnea: its rebooting... hmm the comp wont reboot but it removes CD [06:10] no [06:10] Gnea: should I just manually use power button to reboot it then? [06:10] emm [06:10] Brauzer, /join #ubuntu-ru if you need help with Ubuntu [06:10] stiltzkin, how long should this take? [06:10] warcraft tft [06:11] » bazhang » Î_Î [06:11] i have allowed ssh via ufw but when i enable it kills my ssh sessions and blocks me [06:11] Ryan__: after removing the cd, just press enter [06:11] kn100: and if you want to make sure you can save anywhere on your drive (not just your seeding folder) you might as well do chown -R foo /media/sdb5. Shouldn't take too long. Depends on how many files you have though [06:11] Gnea: OH what I did was in the Livecd environment i selected "restart computer" is that bad [06:11] stiltzkin, it just finished, and nah the seeding folder is the only one I use on ubuntu anywa [06:11] Ryan__: nope, it's the right thing to do [06:11] Gnea: Now it removed CD after shutting down the Livecd env. but the comp is frozen in state of blank screen [06:11] kn100: ok restart transmission and try again [06:12] the only reason I have an ntfs drive is because it can be read by almost every operating system [06:12] Gnea: so I think I have to force turn off/on is that gonna damage anything [06:12] anyone have any experience using g15composer? [06:12] kn100: I hear ya. The only valid reason to use NTFS though ;) [06:12] kn100: not true. OSX can;t read NTFS. [06:12] Ryan__: pressing enter doesn't reboot? [06:12] mneptok: yes it can lol [06:12] Gnea: oh wait it DOES [06:12] mneptok, well I'd never bother with mac os x [06:12] Gnea: LOL nice but it didn't say anything on the screen [06:12] mneptok, every real operating system then [06:12] kn100: nice :) [06:12] kn100: if you don;t use files >4GB, FAT32 is the best bet for cross-platform compatability [06:12] Gnea: WOW its GRUB!!! cool man! thx! ur my linux hero! [06:12] Ryan__: it usually says "press enter" [06:13] awesome :) [06:13] mneptok, I'd rather shoot babies than go back to FAT32 [06:13] how do you get the graphical installer for 9.10 into "expert" mode? ive tried expert and priority=low in the boot options, but it doesnt seem to work [06:13] mneptok: eww gross. people still use fat32? [06:13] mneptok, that filesystem is easier to corrupt than the governments of the world [06:13] Gnea: So GNEA, how can I upgrade to newest linux using my 8.10 then? would inserting the 9.10 disk give me option to do so? [06:13] Gnea: newest ubuntu* [06:13] stiltzkin: most people do. [06:14] mneptok, most people do not! [06:14] Ryan__: nope, you'd need to follow the upgrade path to install all updates to 8.10, then upgrade to 9.04, then upgrade to 9.10 [06:14] mneptok, most windows installs use ntfs [06:14] Why may I ask why anyone would still use FAT32? For what features? [06:14] Ryan__: you'd need to go through 9.04, but why not just backup /home and do a fresh? [06:14] Gnea: oh lols but would it keep all my files [06:14] Ryan__: yes [06:14] Jeruvy: Well cus I already have tons of CD's with info on them its getting confusing and I dont have any USB devices around [06:14] foxmulder881: portability. [06:14] kn100: most people own digital cameras, portable gaming systems, and other flash media formatted FAT32. and there are a LOT of "Windows formatted" iPods. [06:14] mneptok: not at all. no version of windows since XP uses fat anymore (well you can use fat with xp, but almost no one does) [06:14] mneptok, oh fair enough for portable devices [06:15] mneptok, but for hard drives? hell no [06:15] Gnea: is it OK to skip the routine check of drives? [06:15] How is it more portable than any other OS though? [06:15] Ryan__: no, let it run [06:15] mneptok: for flashcards of course. but never ever EVER on a hard drive in the 21st century bro === EdgEy_ is now known as EdgEy [06:15] like i said, "most people still use FAT32" [06:15] Gnea: OK lols [06:15] :) [06:15] foxmulder881, ntfs isn't universally compatible whereas fat32 is [06:15] say plz channel for chating? or say any servers [06:15] Brauzer try Myg0t [06:15] channel [06:15] Brauzer: #ubuntu-offtopic [06:15] Brauzer, go to #defocus [06:15] Brauzer, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:16] they have a fun irc and they can give you fun things to download! [06:16] kn100: so did it work? [06:16] stiltzkin, nope :D [06:16] stiltzkin, restarted transmission, disk is mounted, and transmission still fails [06:16] kn100: d'awww. run that permissions command again to make sure it changed the owner to you [06:16] Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by universally compatible? [06:17] stiltzkin, the command that listed the owners stilllists it as root too [06:17] foxmulder881, can be used on windows, linux, mac os-x, the os on your phonee [06:17] WOW this RAWKS my Linux is BAKKK [06:17] Ryan__: cheers :) [06:17] Gnea: Just wondering when I upgrade to a newer Ubuntu does it keep my custom sounds and logon screen and stuff? [06:17] Gnea: also are you british lol [06:17] Ryan__: nope, American [06:17] stiltzkin, running it at the root of the disk [06:18] I see what you mean. That would be a rare requirement though. Sorry, but FAT32 makes me shudder! [06:18] Gnea: oh lol i thought cus of the cheers [06:18] Gnea: but so does it keep those? [06:18] kn100: oh. try sudo chown foo /media/sdb5/seeding [06:18] Ryan__: newer versions tend to upgrade ALL software, so some things, such as the login screen, will change [06:18] stiltzkin: if it's NTFS, that command is useless [06:18] Ryan__: everything in /home stays the same [06:18] Gnea: so does it include those things? [06:18] stiltzkin: Linux cannot understand nor set NTFS file permissions [06:18] FAT32 having the 4gb limit is annoying as hell [06:18] mneptok: wait really? I thought chown would still change ntfs permissions [06:18] It makes having portable drives a massive pain in the arse [06:18] kn100: how are you mounting this NTFS disk? [06:19] Edgan, I formatted a terabyte to fat32 [06:19] mneptok, just clicking it in nautilus [06:19] stiltzkin: really, it won't. [06:19] Is the a way, that I can get Ubuntu App-Source Codes downloaded automatically, when I download the main programmes? [06:19] Does anyone know a working fix to "No VPN secrets!" when trying to connect to any VPN using gnomes Networkmanager? [06:19] mneptok, I am using lucid so it automatically got added to fstab [06:19] not sure how [06:19] shazbotmcnasty, hehe [06:19] mneptok: lol shows what I know about ntfs. Haven't used it in so long [06:19] It's not so bad now linux has proper NTFS support [06:19] Gnea: so do u know if it keeps those things then? if Home stays same? [06:19] Before it was like, yeah you're splitting large files or you're fucked [06:19] pardon me [06:19] Ryan__: yes, it does [06:19] mneptok, this disk has been written to in linux, all the time before this latest install [06:20] Ryan__: I mean [06:20] kn100: fstab is for disks mounted automagically at startup, not for removable media. that may have changed in Lucid, but i doubt it. [06:20] Ryan__: /home stays the same, everything outside of /home changes [06:20] mneptok, this is a hard disk [06:20] mneptok: then how do you go about changing ntfs permissions? I'm curious now. For specific files & folders, not at mount time [06:20] Ive tryed importing a working OpenVPN Client conf, as well as connecting to a Windows PPtP server, both with the same error [06:20] kn100: pastebin the output of "df -h" [06:20] where might i find a copy of the files that would be installed for a given release? [06:20] stiltzkin: you don't. [06:20] Gnea: Uh im nub I forget if those custom things are in Home ... so wat would be outside of home that i'd lose [06:20] might there be an ftp server I haven't been able to find? [06:20] Gnea: hold on im gonna go on this IRC on my Linux BRB [06:20] How to download Source Codes automatically while using apt-get? [06:21] mneptok: I'm pretty sure I've done it before...can't remember how though [06:21] mneptok, http://pastebin.com/Hvzsacxv [06:21] kn100: ls -l /media/sdb5 [06:21] mneptok, theres also a partition on the 250gb disk that isn't mounted at the moment [06:22] Gnea: HI its me ryan :D [06:22] RP64: hey [06:22] kn100: who is the user/group owner of sdb5? [06:22] mneptok, listed all my files obviously, all owned by root [06:22] mneptok: it's root [06:22] trying to play dvds but even after insall of restriected extras it won't play the intro screen comes up then totem crashes on shoing the menus [06:22] kn100: what is your local username? [06:22] mneptok, kn100 [06:22] how can I get dvds to play [06:22] ? [06:23] !dvd [06:23] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:23] !dvd [06:23] hanasaki: for the love of all things holy don't use Totem. Go download VLC from Ubuntu Software Center. [06:23] kn100: sudo chown -R kn100:kn100 /media/sdb5 [06:23] hello2all [06:23] RP64: okay, basically /home doesn't change, but everything else does. also, since everythign else changes, it's possible that some settings in /home will need to be reset or wiped out if they cause problems. [06:23] stiltzkin: what's wrong with totem [06:23] mneptok: I just had him do that. Forgot to have him change the group too though [06:23] I have a FTP connection in Nautilus that I'm unable to ummount. I need to reconnect to its server ... How I can kill this connection? [06:23] mneptok, done, ran the ls command again, still all owned by root [06:24] kn100: is the filesystem a FAT/NTFS one? [06:24] hanasaki: everything. i've only ever had trouble with it. There are much more capable video players out there that won't crash on you [06:24] paulo, can you reconnect to the ftp server? [06:24] kn100: is the disk mounted read-only? [06:24] mneptok, well I can modify it through thunar so I don't think so [06:24] Random832, NTFS disk yes [06:24] mneptok: no it's read-write, according to his pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/Q6USrugM [06:25] kn100: you need to set uid/gid in /etc/fstab [06:25] would zip -n *: be a valid way to create a zip file with no compression? [06:25] foxmulder881: nope, this connection was crashed :S [06:25] rocket16, sudo apt-get source packagename [06:25] Random832, how would I do that? [06:25] crypt-0, Oh! Thanks, :) [06:25] Berzerker: I don't think so. You should try out kzip, it has a "store" option which uses 0 compression [06:25] What about reboot? [06:25] paulo [06:25] kn100: you do realize that Lucid questions belong in #ubuntu+1? there may well be an issue with FUSE or FUSE's NTFS implementation in a recent build. [06:26] kn100: this is what happens when you install beta software. [06:26] mneptok: yeah I don't think that's his issue though. Sounds like a plain jane permissions hitch [06:26] mneptok, I asked there, but this worked in my lucid install from a few hours ago [06:26] When I click in my FTP connection my Nautilus freezes [06:26] kn100: and did you install updates before it broke? [06:26] mneptok, I only rebuilt because I wanted to get over to xubuntu because gnome was annoying me [06:26] mneptok, I think so, I update pretty regularly [06:27] Some time after I receive this message: "Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Please select another viewer and try again." [06:27] mneptok, I guess this could be a lucid issue [06:27] kn100: you know you can install XFCE without reinstalling right? [06:27] kn100: then you can't rule out that a Lucid package may have a bug. [06:27] kn100: i don't know offhand - i've done it before though - look at the entries alrady in /etc/fstab [06:27] stiltzkin, yeah and still be stuck with all the gnome stuff [06:27] kn100: not if you remove it :) [06:27] paulo: can you launch nautilus from a terminal and post the output of when it freezes? [06:27] stiltzkin, I tried removing ubuntu-desktop but it only got rid of the metapackage [06:28] Random832, do you know where i'd find the UUID of my other disks? [06:28] kn100: I think gnome-desktop is the package, not ubuntu-desktop [06:28] stiltzkin, that's probably why then xd [06:28] kn100: if not it's something else, but I know there's an easy way to do it [06:28] kn100: ls -l /dev/disks/by-uuid [06:28] sorry, disk not disks [06:29] * MikeGuo is away: busy [06:29] * MikeGuo is back (gone 00:00:09) [06:29] Random832, it gave me 1A6896A368967D67 [06:29] for sdb5 [06:29] for my ext4 partitions it's got a much longer key [06:30] yeah, the NTFS volume id isn't a real UUID - it's used like one for the purpose of this though [06:30] Random832, so I Just add it in the place of the disks location? [06:30] has anyone else noticed Google Chrome's font looks like crap on Ubuntu? [06:31] yeah [06:31] well, UUID=... [06:31] goddard_: it shouldn't anymore...which version do you have installed? [06:31] Random832, done, let me try mounting it [06:31] so UUID=1A6896A368967D67 [06:31] and you need to add uid/gid entries to the options [06:31] paste the fstab line [06:31] about what size is reasonable for a boot partition in Ubuntu? I found out very quickly that 32M is too small... [06:32] mardum: i generally have lways used 512M [06:32] mardum: 256M should do it, assuming you're using grub. I think mine's 1GB to be safe [06:32] Random832, here, have a fstab http://pastebin.com/AESvvyHa [06:32] actually right now mine is 400M [06:33] is it possible to make logcheck send mail to more than one ppl? [06:33] I see, thx, just out of curiosity (I already started with ext2) but is ext4 acceptable on /boot? [06:33] you don't really need a boot partition except in some obscure situations [06:33] * Random832 has one of those obscure situations - i aso can't use grub [06:33] mardum: I think ext4 works on /boot but I'd still use ext3 to be safe. [06:33] goddard_, i have noticed Google Chrome is crap. [06:33] Just leave /boot in root / [06:33] foxmulder881: hey, I killed the gvfsd-ftp process and my unmounted my corrupted connection. :) Now I can reconnect to my FTP server. :) Thank you anyway. (: [06:33] stiltzkin: ext2 surely [06:34] * Random832 has never trusted journalling FSes with /boot [06:34] Random832, any idea what I do next? [06:34] Random832: I do too, since I use XFS for / I need a separate /boot (GRUB fails on XFS) [06:34] Random832: good call [06:34] Cheers paulo. ;-) [06:34] stiltzkin: that's the great thing about LILO - it works with any FS. [06:34] okay, thx all... [06:35] kn100: what is your uid? probably 1000, but type "id" and tell me the results [06:35] Random832: heh, good luck restoring it if it ever gets overwritten. GRUB is better. I'd rather have a separate partition and a better bootloader [06:35] it should say 1000(kn100) [06:35] Random832, it did [06:35] stiltzkin: yeah well, I hadn't used lilo for over a decade, but it worked when GRUB didn't. [06:35] If you do use separate partition for /boot, then just use ext2 as your boot partition does not require journaling. [06:36] [some weird partition detection issue I never bothered to fully investigate] [06:36] Random832, what do I do with this uid=1000? [06:36] foxmulder881: yeah exactly, now that I'm lookin at my /boot I see it's ext2 too, so I did have the sense to realize that at the time :) [06:37] kn100: set uid=1000,gid=1000 along with the other options. also, why did you set nls=iso8859-1? [06:37] stiltzkin: Good stuff mate. [06:37] Random832, I didn't [06:37] Random832, I assume either lucid or pysdm did [06:37] Random832, should I take it out [06:37] Gnea: ohhhhh [06:38] Gnea: but uh... basically I have no memory of how the custom sounds and skins work so are those things IN home? and would they be dleeted ? [06:38] RP64: they are not. [06:38] stiltzkin: vlc is showing the following on the console when I try to play the movie.. the menus come up ok thought [0x161ed68] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered [06:38] it's just kind of odd, since you should be using utf-8... i forget t he option offhand. what's pysdm? [06:39] Random832, drive management too [06:39] l* [06:39] hanasaki: but does the movie play? [06:39] nope stiltzkin [06:39] pysdm is a device manager of sorts. [06:39] hanasaki: then try mplayer lol :) [06:39] Random832, I love you. [06:39] Random832, IT WORKED! [06:39] Random832, my files are now my own again :D:D [06:39] kn100: hooray! [06:40] anyway take out the nls option - if it does anything it's nothing good, ubuntu doesn't ship with any iso8859-1 locales [06:40] Gnea: oh so how d o Isave those [06:40] stiltzkin: huh? [06:40] RP64: if you made customizations by downloading sounds and such and saved them in /home, then they will remain in /home, but they may not remain connected to the system GUI if the configuration directives changed [06:40] Gnea: D: [06:40] I prefer vlc ;) why would one work and not th eother [06:40] Gnea: oh uh... would it be bad if I just never upgrade my ubuntu [06:40] hanasaki: try another video program called mplayer. It should also be in Software Center. If that fails too then you have a separate issue [06:40] installing... [06:40] Random832, I took them out xD, Thank you Random832 stiltzkin and mneptok, I can finally rape my ratio on a few trackers and go to sleep happy :D Thank you all! [06:41] Try launching the video in cvlc from terminal. [06:41] kn100: happy seeding :) [06:41] RP64: well, 8.10 will eventually run out of upgrades and the software will eventually become outdated. [06:42] RP64: there's also a performance increase in 9.04 [06:42] Gnea: Oh but if I dont do it for a few months its OK right like theres no security risks? [06:42] Doesn't 8.10 support end this month? [06:42] RP64: No. It will be fine. [06:42] mplayer has no gui? [06:43] RP64: a few months should be fine [06:43] can someone help me mount install .bin file for windows through wine on here? [06:43] Random832, I lied... [06:43] kn100: ? [06:43] Random832, even though that command now lists all my files as my own, transmission still says permission denied [06:43] hanasaki: yes it does. if it didn't come with it do "sudo apt-get install smplayer" [06:44] kn100: what happens if you try to create a file in that directory with a text editor? [06:44] foxmulder881: what are you trying to do? [06:44] hanasaki: it has a gui, but it's separate -y ou can run it without the gui [06:44] What is /dev/mapper directory for? [06:44] (withou the gui you just get a window with the video and nothing else, and keyboard control) [06:44] foxmulder881: were you the person trying to get DVDs to play? [06:44] Random832, it now is refusing to mount the drive.. [06:45] um... [06:45] When? [06:45] So guys wat would the security risks be of using a rly old Ubuntu vers. [06:45] "unpriv'd user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library" [06:45] * mneptok takes that as a "no" [06:45] ok, you need to _mount_ it as root [06:45] and then leave it mounted [06:45] RP64: why would you do that? [06:46] well out of laziness [06:46] <`blackmk4|imac> What would cause my box to drop off the LAN until I reboot it whenever I try to transfer at high speeds to/from it? I've tried two nics - same problem, tried WinXP and it was fine, so I know it's a config or something problem. The install is fresh from today. It's CLI only and wired - no wifi. If I leave the computer alone it will eventually drop off, and I can make it happen pretty quickly by transferring data to/from it. [06:46] but just wondering [06:46] which organizations make money from ubuntu? [06:46] Random832, just mounted the disk with sudo mount -a [06:46] RP64: Why do you insist on sticking with older version? [06:46] RP64: if it's not an LTS version and goes out of support, no security vulnerabilities will be fixed. [06:46] `blackmk4|imac: Sounds like some kind of a DDoS attack [06:47] Random832, file saved fine from gedit [06:47] now let's fire up transmission [06:47] <`blackmk4|imac> it's not [06:47] lol I don't insist, its cus I just reactivated my ubuntu after like half a year of never using it [06:47] like 20 mins ago [06:47] can any one help me how to get wget downloader [06:47] can anyone help with a power management problem on hp nc6400 using 10.04 [06:47] Random832, guess what? permission denied from trnamission [06:48] rp64, try update-manager -d and go to bed ;-) [06:48] do you think the ipad will simplify computing? [06:48] headin' out gents, have a good night and as always may the source be with you [06:48] Anyone know why a fresh Windows 7 install would fail to appear as an OS in the Karmic installer? [06:48] what is the best video driver to select on mplayer? [06:48] voss749: Won't work. Updates only happen from one version to next one (i.e. from 8.10 to 9.04, from 9.04 to 9.10... etc) [06:48] RP64: it's debatable. you might have a look at securityfocus.com [06:49] theadmin, I never said it would take only one update [06:49] voss749: Oh. Makes sense then [06:49] from where i can get wget download manager [06:49] vinu, you already have it [06:49] what's a "sticky permission"? [06:50] rp64, what version do you have on there right now? [06:50] vinu, open a terminal, type wget [06:50] hi, anyone using Thunderbird 2 and Thunderbird 3 beside each other? [06:50] vinu: wget is a download manager lol. You can try gwget or jdownloader too [06:50] vinu, it'll download [06:50] Tru7h: I don't use W7, but from what I've heard it can require some fiddling to get it to boot with grub2. Correct me if I'm wrong. [06:50] Random832, any ideas? [06:50] I'd like to try out TB3, but am unshure [06:50] vuni: wget is installed by default. [06:50] f [06:50] i [06:51] I know this is not a new problem, but just checking if anyone figured out how to solve it recently.. I have a hp laptop which gets overheated when I watch some flash videos on internet( ex: videos on youtube or hulu). It shuts down within 30 mins... does anyone have any solutions to this [06:51] wget which url should i give [06:51] vinu, the url you want to download of course [06:51] I am pretty sure it is not hardware issue since windows vista works fine on my laptop [06:51] roark, dont block your fan? [06:51] foxmulder881: I've done it successfully on other computers, but it's not behaving on this one. I've tried ignoring it and just installing Ubuntu on a second partition, but when I do this GRUB doesn't recognize my other OS at all. [06:51] vinu: Any direct file link, and it will download it [06:51] what's that command that restarts X? [06:51] Semitones: sudo service gdm restart [06:52] ya from where can i get that link [06:52] thanks [06:52] vinu: bleh. What do you want to do? [06:52] Tru7h: Sorry, but don't like and don't use W7, so I can't help you mate. [06:52] vinu: What the hell are you trying to do mate? [06:52] theadmin, or lxde restart, in my case [06:53] foxmulder881: Heh, no problem. I hate it too but my courses have Windows-only programs that don't work through WINE. [06:53] voss749 I am not sure if I understand you...what do you mean by blocking my fan..... I keep my laptop on the table [06:53] I keep it on the same table even when I rum vista [06:53] hello, I need help with sharing files with ubuntu [06:53] Semitones: I'm unsure what is the display manager in lxde. [06:53] from which site can i get the download link of wget [06:53] vinu, no no no [06:53] theadmin, hmmm, openbox? [06:53] vinu: You don't need to download wget, you HAVE wget already [06:53] vinu, you need a link you want to download [06:53] <`blackmk4|imac> vinu: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz [06:53] vinu, then open a terminal, then type wget [the url of the thing you want to download with wget] [06:53] Semitones: That seems like a window manager, I mean... the display manager is thing which pops up at log in [06:54] Random832, this is weird as hell [06:54] Tru7h: I know the feeling. I still have to use WinXP for work. Painful, I know. [06:54] Random832, it's started working randomly [06:54] theadmin, yeah... hmm what could it be...? [06:54] Semitones: Hm. Let me do a apt search [06:54] hey guys i have a problem i got a fresh install of ubuntu 64 bit on my pc, now my pc is amd athlon 64 bit cpu 3200+ on 4 gb of ram and 9600gt nvidia card but i cant seem to get any wired connection it just keeps trying to connect saying disconnected form wired connection or something and this has happen before on other installs of ubuntu with no luck, i have a custom firmwire on m link sys router i wonder if that can be it but i think iv had this pr [06:54] It is surprising ubuntu still has this problem. I searched for a solution to this problem and apparently this problem has been there for quite some time. I hope atleast next version of ubuntu solves this problem. I was thinking of some software alternatives like prelinking flash. But even that did not work. [06:55] vinu: So you can see for yourself, type in terminal: sudo apt-get install wget [06:55] tanners, did it work before the fresh install? [06:55] Semitones: It's "lxsession" [06:55] <`blackmk4|imac> What would cause my box to drop off the LAN until I reboot it whenever I try to transfer at high speeds to/from it? I've tried two nics - same problem, tried WinXP and it was fine, so I know it's a config or something problem. The install is fresh from today. It's CLI only and wired - no wifi. If I leave the computer alone it will eventually drop off, and I can make it happen pretty quickly by transferring data to/from it. [06:55] I tried to share it by the HOWTO guide but I keep getting user&password popup with on my XP [06:55] thanks [06:56] anytakers?? [06:57] I have a hp laptop which gets overheated when I watch some flash videos on internet( ex: videos on youtube or hulu). It shuts down within 30 mins... does anyone have any solutions to this [06:57] What is /dev/mapper directory for? [06:57] <`blackmk4|imac> you could try firefox and flashblock [06:57] <`blackmk4|imac> or you could blow the fans out with some compressed air [06:57] roark: compressed air? [06:57] how can i get install the softwares of format tar.bz2 [06:57] <`blackmk4|imac> vinu [06:57] <`blackmk4|imac> tar -xf filename [06:57] vinu: You compile them. Dude, you don't need to install wget. you HAVE IT. [06:57] can anyone help with sharing ubuntu & windows files? [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> vinu: tar -xf thefilename [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> cd into that folder [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> type ./configure [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> wait for it to finish [06:58] `blackmk4|imac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:58] !swat > eyal [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> sudo make && make install [06:58] eyal, please see my private message [06:58] compressed air? [06:58] Blackcamaro8, why are you explaining to him stuff he doesn't need [06:58] whoops, damn tabfail [06:58] `blackmk4|imac: "sudo make"? Point of that? [06:58] sorry Blackcamaro8 [06:58] vinu: Google "compiling software from source" and do some reading. [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> explain to me how to compile something from source, the admin [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> and i am explaining [06:58] <`blackmk4|imac> because he asked [06:59] <`blackmk4|imac> he didn't ask if he had wget, he asked where to download the source and how to install from it [06:59] `blackmk4|imac: Well, i commonly just use "make", no? I mean, anyone has the rights to build [06:59] how can I send you pm? [06:59] <`blackmk4|imac> i've had issues with make on occasion for whatever reason [06:59] <`blackmk4|imac> so i sudo it [06:59] `blackmk4|imac: Strangenesses [06:59] <`blackmk4|imac> strange like my box dropping off LAN for no apparent reason under ubuntu, but fine under xp [07:00] eyal: Usually, double click on the nickname (in a GUI client), or "/msg username message" in other clients [07:00] theadmin, '`blackmk4|imac To compile from source make sure you apt-get install build-essentials first. [07:00] Okay, so I'm trying to resize my ect3 sda1 ubuntu partition with the live CD using Gparted. Gparted says it can't find a valid fylesystem superblock when it tries to edit the ubuntu partition. Anyone have any tips on making it work? [07:00] <`blackmk4|imac> that is a good point, darkwing === Guest15011 is now known as skuzzel [07:00] DarkwingLaptop: Know that. Apache compiles without that by the way, lol [07:00] Okay, so I'm trying to resize my ect3 sda1 ubuntu partition with the live CD using Gparted. Gparted says it can't find a valid fylesystem superblock when it tries to edit the ubuntu partition. Anyone have any tips on making it work? [07:01] skuzzel: Try to fsck it [07:01] hey i installed wget but i cant see it any where [07:01] is fsck a scan? [07:01] <`blackmk4|imac> vinu [07:01] it's the act of reproduction [07:01] <`blackmk4|imac> type wget in terminal [07:01] skuzzel: FSCK: FileSystem ChecK [07:01] <`blackmk4|imac> and it'll work [07:01] sorry, couldn't resist [07:01] vinu: wget in a cli based d/load tool [07:02] vinu: If you want a graphical version of wget, type this in terminal: sudo apt-get install gwget [07:02] the partition works fine normally, I just need to resize it [07:02] vinu: You run wget with the command: wget http://www.mywebsite.com/downloadlink.mp3 Using whatever details you have for a direct url download link. Understand? [07:03] Ill try it [07:03] ok thanks [07:04] Q: Anyone here use elinks? [07:05] Allright, I want a user to be able to run some programs in superuser mode (KVPNC, to be precise). However, I want to block all other sudo access. What is the way? [07:05] BAK GUSY [07:05] GUSY [07:05] GUYS lol [07:05] RP64: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:05] foxmulder881: me does [07:05] voss: its 8.10 [07:05] RP64: This means you will have to upgrade from that to 9.04, then to 9.10 [07:05] theadmin: in my updates list it says on top "new version 9.10 click here for upgrade" tho wtf? [07:06] theadmin. Just curious, I thought I may have been the only one. ;-) [07:06] <`blackmk4|imac> theadmin [07:06] <`blackmk4|imac> /etc/sudoers [07:06] Karmic installer doesn't see W7, anybody know why? [07:06] oh no it says 9.04 lol [07:06] I have a hp laptop which gets overheated when I watch some flash videos on internet( ex: videos on youtube or hulu). It shuts down within 30 mins... does anyone have any solutions to this [07:06] roark: laptop fans === Eric is now known as Guest16035 [07:06] roark: u can get cool laptop fan addons that cool your laptop while u use it [07:06] no [07:07] roark: lollllllll???????? [07:07] roark: what do you mean "no" [07:07] roark: You have enough air around the l/top ventilation? [07:07] I am pretty sure it is not the problem with hardware. I run windows vista on the same laptop and I never faced this problem with vista [07:07] roark, ask about cpu scaling in here [07:07] roark, that's your issue, I can't help you with it though [07:07] yes [07:08] roark, Also, hint, get greasemonkey and get a youtube > totem embedding script [07:08] Try reducing the cpu rate via the Gnome applet. [07:08] much lower cpu usage [07:08] My youtube videos pass through vdpau, and are decoded on the gpu <3 [07:09] I tried reducing cpu usage...but that has a negative affect on streaming videos [07:09] roark, tell you what [07:10] roark, be here tomorrow in about 12 or 13 hours, and i'll help you set something up [07:10] kn100: lols [07:11] <`blackmk4|imac> What would cause my box to drop off the LAN until I reboot it whenever I try to transfer at high speeds to/from it?

[07:11] * billy2007 is going to ##HELP_DESK [07:11] `blackmk4|imac: 9.10? [07:11] <`blackmk4|imac> yeah [07:11] Why are you reposting? [07:11] <`blackmk4|imac> because no one has said a thing about it except 'DDoS' [07:12] foxmulder881: This is allowed if not too often [07:12] Perhaps no one knows? [07:12] <`blackmk4|imac> well the nice thing about an irc channel [07:12] Fair enough. [07:12] <`blackmk4|imac> is that people come in often [07:12] foxmulder881: If you'd look at amount of joins and quits... [07:13] `blackmk4|imac: is it tied into a router or straight to the modem? [07:13] <`blackmk4|imac> router [07:13] <`blackmk4|imac> everything i am dealing with is connected to the same router === setraha is now known as setraha_ === setraha_ is now known as setraha__ [07:13] guys is it just me or [07:13] `blackmk4|imac: check your router settings for wired connections and see if there is a timeout for wired that isn't there for wireless [07:13] RP64: or? [07:13] does the sound of songs sound much better quality on UBUNTU than windows [07:13] <`blackmk4|imac> if i plug / unplug the nic it still doesn't come back === setraha__ is now known as setraha [07:14] theadmin: wtf was that meant to mean?!? [07:14] im listening to music and it seems better quality [07:14] RP64: Depends on the codec [07:14] mp3 [07:14] foxmulder881: People are joining and leaving. So repeating is not pointless [07:14] `blackmk4|imac: Correct, because the IP woudl still be set and remembered [07:14] <`blackmk4|imac> yes, but when i reboot [07:14] <`blackmk4|imac> dhcp keeps it with the same ip [07:14] Yeah I knew that already. I'm not the dumb... [07:14] kn100: any more problems? sorry i was gone for a while [07:14] RP64: I mean, windows codecs (at least default ones) are a piece of... ahem. Strike that. Are bad. [07:15] A little, but not that much... lol. [07:15] theadmin: lols so [07:15] theadmin: so u mean the sound codecs for ubuntu are much better for the stuff thats non WMA [07:15] ? [07:15] If you do use Windows, install a non-default set of codecs. [07:15] <`blackmk4|imac> i get no ACT flashing on the nic [07:15] `blackmk4|imac: I've tried that before... Other then a possible problem wih the gnome network manager [07:15] <`blackmk4|imac> i don't have X [07:15] <`blackmk4|imac> it's a cli only server [07:16] so why does bill gates and his homies hold out on us for codecs but ubuntu makes good ones? [07:16] <`blackmk4|imac> this same setup works fine on xp [07:16] <`blackmk4|imac> but ubuntu drops the lan connection [07:16] RP64: Because billy cares only for money [07:16] `blackmk4|imac: ahhh, not too sure then sorry :/ [07:16] <`blackmk4|imac> ah ok [07:16] RP64: And Ubuntu is designed for human beings [07:16] lols [07:16] <`blackmk4|imac> this is really confusing - it is a base setup and i haven't messed with anything so it's an ubuntu issue [07:16] I beg to differ here. I reckon sound output is better on Windows on my system, but it's not bad enough on Linux to stop me from using it altogether. [07:16] yeah I like ubuntu except for its tribal theme cus I like to think of technology as being from some city buildings and stuff not tribal huts [07:17] the imagery i mean if it makes sense idono lols [07:17] Tribal themes? [07:17] RP64: That's really funny! [07:17] yea its like an african tribal word and stuf rite lol [07:17] foxmulder881: Depends. /me uses the same media player on Windows and Linux and thus it's the same quality (player is VLC) [07:17] fox lol thx [07:17] You do know it IS based out of south Africa right? [07:17] awgh I have really bad experience with ppl from south africa [07:18] like I met some really screwed ppl from there [07:18] Isn't Mark from there somewhere? [07:18] who did bad things to my life before [07:18] but it doesn't make this connected to that rite... [07:18] Yep, Mr. Shuttleworth is Sth. African himself. [07:18] Ok but it doesnt mean its connected does it? cus I had rly bad times with some weirdos who came out of south africa screwed stuff up in my life [07:19] i mean theres prob weirdos out of every country right so it doesnt matter right . ? [07:19] RP64: Shuttleworth is the leader of Ubuntu project... But come on. Ubuntu won't screw you... more likely windows will [07:19] no admin i mean the south african connection [07:19] like i hate that country cus I met screwd ppl from it who were rly mean to me and made my life bad [07:20] RP64: Meh, it's not that noticable except for the full circle and the name [07:20] and they were like white racist south africans too lol [07:20] In my experience, pc users screw themselves 9 times out of 10. [07:20] is there another distro I can use thats just as good as ubuntu to get rid of the south african thing? [07:20] Like they say, 90% of computer problems are located behind the keyboard [07:21] cus of how I have bad memories with the country [07:21] Hello Every body I am having some issue with samba .. [07:21] RP64: WTF. Are you serious? [07:21] yea why is it nuts? [07:21] hello there [07:21] Just change the theme. [07:21] fox im really serious its consuming my mind now [07:21] As I said, change the theme. [07:21] RP64: Try out Linux Mint. It's Ubuntu-based but has nothing to do with that stuff. [07:21] some body can help me? i have a linker error with a C++ program with serial port [07:21] hyuga: go to #c++ [07:21] lmao that stuff no i dono ugh its just random obsessing i guess [07:22] ok thanks [07:22] Is RP64 trolling? [07:22] no i'm not... [07:22] sadly [07:23] Hello Every body I am having some issue with samba share ... can any body can help me on this .. I am not being able to put any folder for share from my system .. I am geting some error any idea .. how to fix it .. any help would be of great help thanks in advance [07:23] RP64: Ubuntu is (IMO) the best-supported distro out there, and it's probably the most widely-used. I'm not really sure what you mean about not liking the theme, if you don't like the sounds and the desktop backgrounds and whatnot you can change them. There's no point in switching distros for it. [07:24] Tru: its not the theme, its that i had really really bad experiences with PPL from south africa so it was the south african creation that was bugging me [07:24] anybody know about laptop power management and 10.04 [07:24] Don't be bloody stupid. [07:24] tru: like that it was made from south african guy [07:24] Tru7h: Dunno about the support, but it is most popular one insdeed [07:24] fox: its not stupid its just I have rly bad memory with screwed up step parent from south africa who always was mean and also was super proud of being south african [07:24] Tru7h: indeed* [07:24] hpnc6400: try #ubuntu+1 [07:24] RP64: So the fact that it was originally thought up by someone of South African nationality is enough for you to not want to use it? [07:25] Has the Ubuntu community suck to a new low? [07:25] because of the bad memory yea [07:25] Hey guys. [07:25] i have OCD i think idk so bcus of that its freakin me out [07:25] I need some help after trashing /home/, anyone got experience with that? [07:25] Get over it mate. If you don't like it, then bugger off to one of the many other 1000's of tux distros available. [07:25] omg fox ur rly mean... [07:25] I don't need to recover any data, just to get a plain blank user functioning. [07:26] bugger off lol wow OK you can do the same bud [07:26] hah === yupeng is now known as Guest68205 [07:26] Wings, rm -rf /home ? [07:26] maginot: Not quite. [07:26] Had an encrypted /home/, didn't want it [07:26] so I backed up data I cared about and then deleted the encrypted side of things [07:26] RP64: And no, I'm not Sth. African... [07:26] but I'd forgotten to backup .ICEauthority and such [07:26] fox: lol good [07:26] so it naturally broke when I rebooted. [07:27] RP64: Ever heard of the tab key? [07:27] Wings, okay, can't see any problem on that, you could delete everything insde that [07:27] admin: Wat? [07:27] RP64: Type first few letters of the nickname and hit TAB, it will insert the full nickname. Like this: foxm + tab = foxmulder881 [07:27] Wings, the only thing that could happen deleting things inside home is reset program configurations [07:27] maginot: Well... [07:28] theadmin: OH kool thx [07:28] I was messing with update-motd, and it stopped working. I cleared motd, and later rebooted the server, but the motd won't come back. no error messages that I'm aware of. [07:28] nautilus gets pissy about not being able to create ~/.nautilus and ~/Desktop [07:28] Wings, this is something I done many time to reset everything to default [07:28] 30BAAF5RE: lol works with long names yessshh yosshhh [07:28] and I get a lot of errors on log-on and nothing ends up coming up. [07:28] Wings: What errors? [07:28] Wings, I think your program wasn't just deleting the files [07:28] hi [07:29] Wings, *program/problem [07:29] Guys so updating my Ubuntu will delete all my music?! Oh man!! doesn't it have option to save your stuff ? I have nothing but CD's to backup everything those are so annoying! [07:29] Well, to define "a lot" [07:29] i needa help ;-) [07:29] RP64, update or upgrading ? [07:29] I get some messages about not being able to find .ICEauthority [07:29] maginot Upgrading [07:29] RP64: what are you trying now? [07:29] RP64, no problem, the only problem you may notice is broken programs, always happen [07:29] bleh, let me reboot and find out for sure. [07:29] to upgrade to 9.04 [07:29] is there a open source for ubuntu similar to microsoft onenote? [07:29] could somebody tell me why I can't use "Lock screen" option in Ubu? [07:29] maginot: HUH? [07:30] Wings, it's a godd start reboting or closing and reopening the session [07:30] maginot: to update version ? [07:30] RP64: It won't delete if you update it. It might delete some configurations [07:30] If you don't want anything broken, perform a fresh install. [07:30] theadmin: i dont mean update i mean upgrade [07:30] maginot: already did so. [07:30] RP64, yeah, I'm very afraid of these upgrades [07:30] RP64: Same thing [07:30] maginot: but I have a liveCD up on the machine now [07:30] theadmin: wait but GNEA told me if u update ur VERSION then it deletes everything outside of home folder?! [07:30] Wings, what is the permissions for /home (ls -l /home [07:30] g0aliath: Never used that, but i find tomboy suitable [07:30] maginot: lols [07:31] RP64: your home folder is most likely where you keep your stuff, no? [07:31] is there a way to monitor the output levels of the audio device, such as trhough conky or another OSD?? [07:31] RP64, I have done it sometimes and never have Happy ending [07:31] theadmin: thanks ill try that [07:31] theadmin: idono rly i havent used ubuntu for 6 months i forget about where everything is [07:31] maginot, me too! [07:31] maginot: lol o .. [07:31] I always perform fresh installs and never upgrades. [07:31] foxmulder881: that takes alot of time tho [07:32] foxmulder881: time i dont have!!! [07:32] RP64, Its not that everything won't work, but some programs lost its configuration and other doesn't are supported, I don't know, many unexpected things [07:32] foxmulder881: Same here, then i just run a small script to install packages and stuff [07:32] theadmin: that stuffs pro but u need to have stuff super organized and thought out to do that, i am super disorganized [07:32] foxmulder881: Learned that after an upgrade from Interpid broke my X. [07:32] Most of the more experienced folk would do the same I think. ;-) [07:33] theadmin: whats your X [07:33] RP64, I really prefer to pick the cd and make a brand new install after backing my things, actually I noramlly keep home at other partitions which makes my news install very easy (just put the cd and install) [07:33] RP64: The graphical environment stuff [07:33] maginot: ehh. [07:33] theadmin: oh is that new abreviation i thought thats GFX??? [07:33] maginot: I've decided since I have a LiveCD booted up already [07:33] I'm simply going to take a couple of minutes moving the backup to another already-there partition [07:33] nuke the Ubuntu install and start again [07:33] since it's less than a day old anyways. [07:34] Wings, hehe [07:34] trying out the beta. I guess I'm having some teething problems. :P [07:34] RP64: gfx is graphical EFFECTS lol [07:34] theadmin: LoLS wtf [07:34] everything else has been pretty nice though. [07:34] RP64: No idea. [07:34] AFKKK this upgrade talk is confusing my brain so hard [07:34] Wings, well, haven't tested the beta .. don't know how good it is (or bad) [07:34] Wings: fyi, Lucid/10.04 discussion and support goes in #ubuntu+1 [07:35] lol the beta = +1 , nice naming system [07:35] RP64, if you have time and a easy way to bakup your files I recommend you to make a new install... but upgrading will not make you loose anything personal [07:35] maginot: Well, it's kinda mac-ish, the window buttons are all on left side o_O [07:36] rww: I know, wasn't really planning on extensive discussion. [07:36] * maginot remembers that his next project is a mac style distro... [07:36] maginot: I dont i only have 1 , 1 GB stick and a bunch of scattered CDs that already have tons of info [07:36] rww: ...although, yeah, fair point. [07:36] xD [07:36] Dump all your data onto another hdd and you'll be all set. Just don't wipe your data drive by accident. [07:36] XD [07:37] RP64, you can upgrade, you will don't loose your files, but be prepare to some broken programs and configurations [07:37] maginot: "will don't"? [07:38] theadmin, just a typo ... [07:38] =D [07:38] "Will not" [07:38] is mepis similar to ubuntu? === elnur_ is now known as elnur [07:38] maginot: lol "will don't lose" are u french ?!

[07:42] I've removed some packages, and now I don't know witch of then is needed by this function [07:42] riku, you could just delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run nvidia install again [07:42] hey yo jarray maybe you can help me mate i cant install my 2wire usb on my ubutnu what can I do [07:42] riku, try sudo nvidia-xconfig --force-generate [07:42] hmmm thanks elnur, maginot i'll likely be back ;P [07:42] i hope it isn't "quest" package :| [07:43] elnur, interesting command..

If it returns something like "ii package"? [07:45] horst-peter: language [07:45] anybody can help me I cant install my 2wire usb wireless [07:45] englisch? [07:45] horst-peter: Deutsche support ist in #ubuntu-de. Danke. [07:45] horst-peter: wenn du hier fragen willst - englisch ja [07:45] horst woher kommst du [07:45] neoraj, the same i is show in front of a package after some aptitude search too (aptitude search xorg) [07:45] #ubuntu-de [07:45] neoraj: Another possibility is whereis [07:45] is mepis a lot like ubuntu? [07:45] ok english [07:46] hors woher kommst du mein freund [07:46] robertzaccour: It's not like Ubuntu at all [07:46] maginot: and have installed [07:46] Horst ich kannst hilfe dir [07:46] I've got a DSL Problem [07:46] theadmin, you tried it? [07:46] horst-peter: ich kannst hilfe dir [07:46] Can I just say I love Ubuntu. [07:46] horst-peter: was ist los [07:46] wiccan, it worked? [07:46] I connect by wlan through a Router [07:46] I love it too :) [07:46] dougdoug4: ME TOO [07:46] robertzaccour: Ahem, it's just not even debian-based if i recall correctly [07:46] wtf is "watchdog" and why is it running o_O [07:46] horst Ich komme aus mexiko und Ich brauche HELP [07:46] theadmin, i thought it is debian based [07:47] Everytime i download something it is not possible to do anything else in the web [07:47] Why? [07:47] mosh HABLA INGLES? [07:47] The line seems to be blocked [07:47] si hablo ingles epsanol y aleman [07:47] theadmin, its a HP technology for monitoring servers, never used but have seen some times [07:47] that definitely did the trick guys, you rock! [07:47] gut [07:47] ubottu: es | mosh [07:47] mosh: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [07:47] liebst du rammstein [07:47] omg [07:47] any idea? [07:48] theadmin, I think this is related http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchdog_timer [07:48] horst-peter: It might be your provider's bandwitch? [07:48] bandwith* [07:48] bandwidth* [07:48] huh. I gotta restart my X, something seems to be wrong with session manager. Just a second [07:48] I will sorry for thath [07:48] only that [07:48] RP64: worked fine under Windows [07:48] horst-peter, if your host is blocking you up you could try using something like Tor [07:48] Just switched to Ubuntu [07:49] Tor? [07:49] horst: lol , denn weisst ich nicht [07:49] horst-peter, on windows you have no problem, only on ubuntu? Are you sure isn't some sporadic problem? [07:49] I know I'm not supposed to repeat my question every few minutes if nobody responds, what's the optimal alternative? I don't mind being patient, just don't want to wait 1/2 hour if nobody saw my question. Thanks. [07:49] KDM had a neat feature allowing same user to log in multiple times. Is it possible to make GDM do so, too? [07:50] FalconV, what is your problem [07:50] @maginot: Windows worked fine for years [07:50] Okay, thanks for the help everyone. [07:50] I was messing with update-motd, and it stopped working. I cleared motd, and later rebooted the server, but the motd won't come back. no error messages that I'm aware of. [07:50] * Wings nods t'ward maginot. [07:50] np =) [07:50] It is specially when i download from the software center [07:51] and once again, what the heck is /dev/mapper/ [07:51] horst-peter, it a very weird problem... [07:51] ok [07:51] FalconV, motd for ssh or local session? [07:51] maginot: ssh [07:52] maginot: haven't tried local yet, should I? [07:52] FalconV, if local is what you need... but your problem doesn't seen to complicate [07:52] hm, what the heck. Ubuntu seems to consider my session "locked", yet i most certainly am inside it [07:53] FalconV, just checking onething... just a sec [07:53] maginot: it's /etc/motd that I'm concerned with. I can populate it manually, but update-motd doesn't seem to work. can't find any verbose to see where it's having a problem though. [07:53] <|ntegra|> gosh, obviously I did something very wrong [07:53] maginot: np, take your time. I've been pulling my hair out for an hour before I gave up and came here :) [07:53] |ntegra|: huh [07:53] FalconV, ok, so if you write manually on it you have no problem? It shows ? [07:53] ok who knows much about wpa, i finnally got my wireless card working but i cannot get the wpa to athenticate it seems [07:54] maginot: yes, I put in a line of text and it displays fine. right now /etc/motd contains "this is a test" and when I log in that shows up. [07:54] <|ntegra|> I'm owned (surprising me because I thought that I was playing in a brick house lol) [07:54] HI all [07:54] <|ntegra|> hi EmilioTucci [07:54] How can I use convert comand from imagick tools to convert a batch of files instead of only one? [07:55] convert 100x100+45+45 mypicture.jpg [07:55] I don't know what to put on to have the same file name with a prefix [07:55] FalconV, well, update-motd isn't installed by default, I suppose if its with some problem you could try fixing 1) removing and reinstalling 2) dpkg-reconfigure update-motd [07:55] hello [07:56] hi to all [07:57] <|ntegra|> for f in "$file.blah" ; do MySwishyCommand ; done [07:57] maginot: thanks for the suggestion. It is actually installed by default. I forget what version this started, but I'm on 9.10 and it was installed. I've done an aptitude remove and then install, as well as dpkg-reconfigure. I never cleared out the /etc/update-motd.d folder and noticed after reinstalling my custom file was still there, should I delete the folder before reinstalling? [07:57] EmilioTucci: Let's see... find /directory/with/images -exec convert 100x100+45+45 {} converted-{} \; [07:57] hi ,is there a IRC specific for network? [07:57] theadmin, so {} is the name of the file in a shell? [07:58] EmilioTucci: It's specific for the find command [07:58] hail ... if i have a 4GB of memory can i install the i386 architecture and cret 8gb of swap partitioning ? [07:58] FalconV, apt-get purge update-motd should take care of everything, but if you made something custon you just backup them and remove [07:58] theadmin, ahhh ok I fot it; So if I wasn't using the find command, what is the tag for the file name in shell? %? [07:59] well i found out on older laptops like the one i'm working with setting all cooling and cpu settings to max helps out but, flux might still be nice. i think xfce used 20mb more ram [07:59] EmilioTucci: Sorry but there is none. [07:59] sweb: No, you need 64 bit for this case [07:59] EmilioTucci, the tag? [07:59] theadmin, mmm, so there is no way to write a script file as we used to in MSDOS when doing % ? [07:59] EmilioTucci: Not that I'm aware of [08:00] theadmin, for swap or memory limitation ? [08:00] sweb: Memory, dunno, swap should not be limited [08:00] maginot, tag, label, I don't know the name [08:00] EmilioTucci, for f in `ls /`; do echo ${f}; done ? [08:00] maginot: That's specific for "for" [08:01] maginot: I did an apt-get purge, and noticed after that the /etc/update-motd/ folder still existed (I had moved my custom file out). I installed again and it's still not working. [08:01] anyone here experienced with communicating with rhythmbox [08:01] ? [08:01] OK guys I got it, [08:01] so I could do: [08:01] maginot: do you think it might help if I update-motd --disable first? [08:01] gedit has some weird highlighting [08:01] for f in `ls /`; do convert -crop 100x100+45+45 ${f} converted-${f}; done [08:02] It highlights all the slashes, colons and other crap in shell script [08:02] EmilioTucci: That, but replace 'ls /' with 'ls /directory/with/images' [08:02] FalconV, well, I don't have it here.. you could try something [08:03] theadmin, if I execute the script from the same directory where the pictures are, do I need to specify the path? [08:03] FalconV, I will give you an idea to "really" reinstall the program [08:03] EmilioTucci: Then replace "ls /" with "ls $PWD" [08:03] theadmin, OK, I am trying now [08:03] maginot: don't say format! lol [08:04] possible to boost virtual memory on ubuntu [08:04] FalconV, but first, backup the file: cp -v /var/lib/dpkg/status{,.bkup} [08:05] maginot: `/var/lib/dpkg/status' -> `/var/lib/dpkg/status.bkup' [08:06] FalconV, okay, now edit /var/lib/dpkg/status look for "Package: update-motd" [08:06] hi [08:06] FalconV, remove until you see the other Package start.. [08:07] Am1ne hiiii [08:07] FalconV, remove the line until you see the other Package start line.. [08:08] theadmin, what if the names of the files have spaces between words? [08:08] EmilioTucci: hm... You should probably quote that ${f} combination [08:08] FalconV, after doing that, just run "apt-get install update-motd" [08:08] theadmin, so ${"f"} or "${f}"? [08:09] ${f} [08:09] maginot, but it is spliting my files names into words [08:09] maginot: Take over please. I'm not a script expert yet :D [08:09] maginot, I have names like "this is an image.jpg" [08:09] EmilioTucci, what is the command line? [08:10] maginot, for f in `ls /`; do convert -crop 100x100+45+45 ${f} converted-${f}; done [08:10] maginot: thanks for the help, it's still not working. [08:10] maginot, that is giving me a word per line [08:10] this [08:10] is [08:10] an [08:10] image.jpg [08:10] EmilioTucci: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:10] but I need: "this is an image.jpg" [08:10] maginot: It's not going to kill anything, so I think I'll live with it for now unless you have other ideas to try. I might see if someone at update-motd might be available to give suggestions. [08:10] EmilioTucci, for f in `ls /`; do convert -crop 100x100+45+45 "${f}" "converted-${f}"; done -> try this [08:11] salut tout le monde je suis nouveau et j'espere que vous aller m'aide a intergre votre communote :) [08:11] ubottu: fr | mebarek [08:11] mebarek: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [08:11] FalconV, don't worry, things will still keep working, if you delete something wrong you have the backup file [08:11] maginot, it is still splitting the names into words [08:12] FalconV, just remove the lines from Package: update-motd until the next Package (which must not be deleted) [08:12] maginot: oh sorry, I forgot to tell you. I did do exactly what you said. I removed the entire package section, saved the file, and then ran apt-get install update-motd [08:12] EmilioTucci, yeah, sure... the problem is on the for... just a second I there is a better way of achieving that [08:13] Hi, I have been using gnome-panel with panel on top, bottom and left. Today I moved the left panel to right and made it auto-hide. Now as soon as I try to go to this panel ubuntu hangs. gnome-panel is using 100% of CPU and I have to reboot. How can I remove this problem panel? Any advice? [08:13] maginot, ok thanks, I liked the for way [08:13] maginot: after which I ran update-motd and still /etc/motd displayed my test text [08:13] FalconV, still no lucky ? [08:13] maginot: sadly not. [08:14] maginot: If only I could see an output of what update-motd is trying to do, maybe I could see where it's failing, but so-far I can't find a way to make it verbose, or any logs. [08:14] FalconV, well, it will not remove any files you set, but that way you did a new install... I tried installing update-motd here but doesn't seen to work, to be honest I always have changed motd manually [08:15] FalconV, well, I think now only debuging or with strace or gdb.. like "strace update-motd" or gdb update-motd, but this what I think since I don't know update-motd [08:15] maginot, for f in $( ls ); [08:16] $(ls) [08:16] maginot: thanks! I'll take a look at those, I've never used them before. have a good one! [08:16] AI [08:16] EmilioTucci, hmm worked now ? [08:16] IIX_GEMOLZ: Artificial Intellegence? [08:17] NO [08:17] ubottu: caps | IIX_GEMOLZ [08:17] IIX_GEMOLZ: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:17] maginot, no [08:17] EmilioTucci, why didn't you used the find utility ? [08:17] maginot, this does exactly the same thign: for i in $( ls ); echo $f; done [08:18] maginot, for is more naturaly and fits what I am really doing, a loop along files, [08:20] EmilioTucci, I'm going to make a test... just an sec [08:20] maginot, ok [08:20] EmilioTucci: allright, here we go, this will do exactly what you need. find -type f $PWD -exec convert -crop 100x100+45+45 '{}' 'converted-{}' \; - run this in same directory in which images are, will do. (it will also ignore all folders because of "type f", however, it will look in subfolders. To avoid that, add -maxdepth 0 [08:20] maginot, use files with spaces [08:20] woah wtf [08:21] find $PWD -type f -exec convert -crop 100x100+45+45 '{}' 'converted-{}' \; [08:21] There [08:21] theadmin, it gives me an error: Paths mut be defined before the expression [08:21] what is the terminal command to move a file [08:21] Dougdoug4: mv source target [08:21] Dougdoug4, mv [08:22] but do i have to be cd'd to the current folder of the source? [08:22] EmilioTucci: Above. Made a mistake in original command, you see [08:22] theadmin < [08:22] theadmin, yeah now it works, but it tells me: convert: unable to open image `converted-/home/cmrabet/Escritorio/JPEGS/temate Tone Burst Amplifiers copy.jpg': No such file or directory. [08:22] hi i run ubuntu karmic on vbox and have HP laserjet 3052 connected, printing works fine but xsane can't find scanner, any clues? [08:22] theadmin, so I think the issue is in the $PWD [08:22] Dougdoug4: example: mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/somelist $HOME/somelist.conf [08:23] or something [08:23] it's a network printer [08:23] EmilioTucci: Well, "$PWD" returns the current directory [08:23] EmilioTucci: Let's just avoid all possible space problems: find '$PWD' -type f -exec convert -crop 100x100+45+45 '{}' 'converted-{}' \; [08:24] theadmin, I think the issue is the last \ it is trying to open a file in \ [08:24] EmilioTucci: \; is a character sequence to end the find's "exec" parameter [08:24] omfg [08:25] unable to open image `converted-/home/cmrabet/Escritorio/JPEGS/temate Tone Burst Amplifiers copy.jpg': No such file or directory. [08:25] theadmin, ----- ^ [08:25] theadmin, look tha file it is trying to create === nosrepa is now known as aperson [08:25] theadmin, converted-/home.. [08:25] crap. Guess i messed something up indeed... meh, then i actually dunno :/ [08:26] theadmin, the problem is that {} is returning the hole path to the file [08:27] EmilioTucci: Yes, unfortunately. This seems to be the problem which i have no idea how to avoid :/ [08:27] theadmin, with no $PWD I get now just the name of the file but with the / at the begining which is bad as well [08:27] theadmin, EmilioTucci: would basename help with that? (sorry if you already looked at it, I haven't read scrollback) [08:28] rww, basename? [08:28] rww: basename? Huh. Indeed. You're a genius! But let me see how can i... There!!! [08:28] the problem only shows up with files with spaces in the names [08:29] EmilioTucci: find '$PWD' -type f -exec convert -crop 100x100+45+45 '{}' 'converted-$(basename '{}')' \; [08:29] Hi, I need to connect to some equipment on static IP. I want to add another IP for my NIC (like eth0:1). Can I do that from Network manager (i'm running karmic) [08:29] o_O [08:30] convert: unable to open image `converted-$(basename /home/cmrabet/Escritorio/JPEGS/temate Tone Burst Amplifiers copy.jpg)': No such file or directory.

Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO [08:30] Running Karmic [08:30] uh. Some problem with quoting. [08:31] how to install themes in grub?I don't want to set a picture but i want to set attractive GUI on grub.How can i do that [08:31] If only there were no spaces in filenames it'd be greatly simplified, now i have to keep scratching my head on how to quote it properly. Sorry, EmilioTucci, but i'm on my limit. Can't make anything more up [08:31] theadmin, how do i create a file with terminal? [08:31] kr_ubuntu: No way [08:31] a folder, per say [08:31] theadmin, thanks man, I will rename all the files and then use the for statment [08:31] theadmin: there is no way for this [08:32] Dougdoug4: file? "touch somenewfile". Folder? "mkdir somenewfolder" [08:32] theadmin ur awesome [08:33] Dougdoug4: Thanks ^_^ [08:33] EmilioTucci, okay, so don't use for, but a While: ls | while read i; do echo ${i}; done [08:33] Hm, i just tried to imangine what a mess would it be if they'd translate commands. [08:33] theadmin: is there any way for setting a theme [08:33] EmilioTucci, ls / | while read f; do convert -crop 100x100+45+45 "${f}" "converted-${f}"; done [08:33] kr_ubuntu: You can only set a background, but theme? No [08:34] maginot, that worked! [08:34] maginot, :) [08:34] maginot, so what is the problem with FOR? [08:34] "while read f"?! wtf [08:35] EmilioTucci, I don't know, but after testing some very weird command here with sed I gave up and change to a while loop... [08:35] theadmin: while searching i got this link : http://grub.gibibit.com/About [08:35] <|ntegra|> m [08:35] theadmin, I love the flexibility =D [08:35] maginot, thanks [08:35] maginot++ [08:35] theadmin, thanks [08:35] theadmin++ [08:35] EmilioTucci: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:36] EmilioTucci: I didn't help though, did I? [08:36] theadmin, of course, I learnt a lot from you man [08:37] kr_ubuntu: Woah, that is neat [08:37] theadmin: delete a file with terminal? === Mad_Away is now known as Mad_Dud [08:38] Dougdoug4: To delete a file: "rm file", to delete a folder: "rm -r folder" [08:38] out [08:38] ty [08:38] how about if i'm cd'd to something [08:38] and i wanna cd out? [08:38] u kno? [08:38] Dougdoug4: "cd .." [08:38] ur wonderful [08:38] :) [08:41] Sometimes, after running flash/java applets in FF i get a weird stripe across the whole screen and can only get rid of it by restarting X. Any help? [08:42] theadmin, restarting X ? [08:42] maginot: Yeah, something like Ctrl+PrtSc+K or "sudo service gdm restart" [08:42] theadmin, did you updated the flash plugin ? [08:43] xrandr -q doesn't show my correct resolution as an option. how can I set resolution properly? [08:43] maginot: Whatever version in Ubuntu's repos. But since it also happens with Java, it's not that [08:44] theadmin, never had such a problem... maybe it's something with your video driver .. maybe its a good idea check the X logs [08:44] grub2 isn't properly chaining to windows XP. When attempting to boot to WinXP from grub, I get a flashing cursor. Windows boots fine by using the BIOS boot menu. I have windows installed on /dev/sda1 and ubuntu on /dev/sdb1 [08:44] maginot: Never happened on Jaunty though *huh* [08:44] The /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is the automatically configured one from the ubuntu install. === ballzee is now known as Sinister [08:47] bobthemilkman: are ntldr and NTDETECT.COM files in their place? [08:48] Since win boots just fine when selecting the first HDD from the boot menu, I would assume so. Let me go check that machine. [08:48] bobthemilkman: Wait. Why would GRUB boot stuff on other hard disk at all? :/ [08:48] Those files are in the root directory of /dev/sda1, so I would assume so. [08:49] theadmin: Did GRUB somehow lose it's ability to chainload to other HDDs in the "upgrade" from legacy grub to grub2? [08:50] bobthemilkman: I don't know it should even do so o_O Technically, I thought that's BIOS' job === steveire_ is now known as steveire [08:50] It was trivially easy in grub 1, just "rootnoverify (hdX,0)" "chainloader +1" [08:51] What is interesting that this "GRUB 2" displays it's version as "1.97~beta4" on boot [08:51] I also noticed that. [08:53] hi, I'm using openjdk-64bit. I want to compile midp applications via java wireless toolkit, but it needs 32bit java is there a 32bit openjdk package that I can install along with the 64bit one? [08:53] theadmin: GRUB1 is 0.something, GRUB2 is 1.something. [08:53] rww: Craziness lol [08:54] I've noticed that there is an ia32-sun-java6-bin package that would most probably work [08:54] java u say [08:55] double blah [08:55] not in my life time [08:55] if only I had a better phone hey ;) [08:56] juxta [08:56] indent ok [08:56] willem === ballzee is now known as Sinister [08:56] south africa [08:57] yes [08:57] juust lokn [08:57] just checkn a few things on my script [08:58] where can i join china group [08:58] maken sure, i got'em right [08:58] ?

It appears to be installed to the MBR of (hd0) instead of (hd1). [09:04] Or, at the very least, root = (hd0), chainloader +1 causes it to boot to itself. [09:05] bobthemilkman, hd0 is the first disk like /dev/sda and hd1 like /dev/sdb [09:05] Exactly. It should be installed to hd1. [09:06] bobthemilkman, hd0,0 is the first partition, and hd0,1 the second like /dev/sda2 [09:06] bobthemilkman, that is up to your configuration ... [09:06] maginot: My ubuntu is installed on /dev/sdb1. [09:07] bobthemilkman, but is /dev/sdb the first boot disk on bios ? [09:08] I'm not sure, actually. My BIOS's naming scheme isn't as nice as linux's [09:08] However, I believe it currently is. But was not when I went through the install. [09:09] bobthemilkman, because normally you will put grub on the first boot partition so that way if could be loaded at boot time, wherever ubuntu is installed [09:09] when notfiy-osd comes flash videos leave fullscreen in Lucid. Is this problem in Karmic too? [09:09] ; [09:12] hail i have a 4gb of memory and intel core 2.66 cpui ... which arch is recommended for me ? 32 or 64 ? [09:12] sweb: amd64 [09:12] sweb: Intel Core, or Intel Core 2? [09:12] rephrased: if you change system volume with keyboard while playing flash video in e.g. youtube does it leave fullscreen? [09:12] sweb, you could use both, but if is 32bits you need apt-get install linux-server which will install the apropriated support for more then 3gb [09:12] intel core 2 .... 2.66 hrtz [09:13] sweb: go with 64bit [09:13] sweb, intel core 2 [09:13] maginot: there's a PAE kernel now, you don't need server. [09:13] sweb, intel core duo isn't 64 bits AKAIK [09:13] rww, hMm didn't know that [09:13] how do i configure reverse dns on ubuntu using apache [09:14] xampp need 32 based linux for compile some php and apache modules ... some of modules don't have 64 v [09:14] maginot: imo the first intel cpus are ia64 and not amd64 [09:14] ubottu: xampp | sweb [09:14] sweb: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [09:14] sweb: dont use xampp!! use sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin [09:14] 32 programs is bettter !!! [09:15] sweb: use the 64bit version, there are no problems with it [09:15] sweb, that isn't true, the only true is that 32 bits have more support so far [09:15] iceroot: There are no IA64 Intel Core or Core 2 processors. [09:15] rww: ok but the the first intel coreduo cpus are not amd64 so i thought its ia64 [09:16] iceroot, core duo are just multicore, but still 32bits... [09:16] maginot: ah ok, thx for the info [09:16] iceroot: IA64 is a 64-bit architecture used by the Intel Itanium. It is not what one is generally talking about when one talks about "32-bit" or "64-bit" computers. [09:17] rww: i know that ia64 is not "common". i just know that the first coreduo cpus dont have amd64 [09:17] http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27238&processor=T2700&spec-codes=SL9JP,SL9K4 just look at physical address extensions [09:17] maginot, so i still using 64 v ? [09:17] iceroot: which makes them i686 or IA32, not IA64. [09:18] sweb, I'm on core 2 quad for a while now and still haven't migrated to 64bits [09:18] quit [09:18] rww: ok [09:18] maginot, memory limit [09:18] ihave a 4gb of ram ? [09:18] sweb, you can use both, 64 or 32bits... memory limit will not be your problem [09:18] ubottu: pae | sweb [09:18] sweb: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [09:19] sporedi, don't know if will be of any help, but ... http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch18_:_Configuring_DNS === antivirtel`afk is now known as antivirtel [09:21] I'm having problems compiling a program with headers [09:21] THANK ALL GUYS ... ubuntu have a greatest IRC channel that i see !!! :P [09:21] :-* [09:21] sorry this is not i am looking ...but thanks [09:21] I've tried gcc -include ~/Downloads/path/blah/header.h -o file file.c [09:21] sporedi, okay [09:22] I have multiple headers tho [09:22] hexdump_, if its C related question see ##c [09:22] sweet thanks [09:22] Okay, I've come to the conclusion that grub2 is just a complete piece of crap that can't handle naming consistency. [09:23] i am looking for reverse dns setting/configuration on apache but could not find require directives [09:23] sporedi, have you tried #apache ? [09:23] It says that (hd0) contains (hd0,1), and (hd0,2) (which are my swap and ext2 tables), and that (hd1) contains (hd1,1), which is my ntfs file system. [09:24] bobthemilkman, well, I honest didn't see to much advantage on using grub2 too, v1 was much easier to configure... [09:24] However, in the boot entries, the linux boot entries all point to (hd1,2), which doesn't even exist according to grub's ls. [09:24] but maybe it is something about getting used to it [09:25] I wouldn't mind if I could just freaking tell it "Boot the goddamn MBR of sda1" [09:25] no ..they will say remove ubuntu apache and install thier apache from source/rpm package but again other packages problem may face /compatibility issues [09:26] How to change GDM theme in 9.10? I recently installed some packages of Ubuntu Studio, and this changed the GDM Screen to Ubuntu Studio. [09:28] Any idea where can i find clanlib 1.0? [09:30] rocket16, System > Administration > Login Screen(or may be Login Prompt) [09:31] maginot: No, I tried already, and it never works. What you are saying should work in 9.04, not in 9.10. [09:32] what tha? "sh: getcwd() failed: no such file or directory" [09:32] <`blackmk4|imac> What would cause my box to drop off the LAN until I reboot it whenever I try to transfer at high speeds to/from it? I've tried two nics - same problem, tried WinXP and it was fine, so I know it's a config or something problem. The install is fresh from today. It's CLI only and wired - no wifi. If I leave the computer alone it will eventually drop off, and I can make it happen pretty quickly by transferring data to/from it. [09:32] anyone able to help me with any gparted questions? tyring to figure out how to "Grow/resize" a partition, it says it has regrown it, when i click apply i get an error [09:33] ar0n: Sounds like some inconsistent filesystem on a partition. Is this NTFS? [09:33] please see this one:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/550040 [09:33] rocket16, Hmm looks like 9.10 uses the newer gdm version which doesn't have a working gdmsetup yet... =/ well, actually I think I didn't notice cause I use kdm [09:34] rocket16: Install gdm2setup from their PPA to get a more-or-less-themable GDM if that's what you want [09:34] maginot: Well, it can be changed to an extent using several tricks. [09:34] shabgard: Lucid support in #ubuntu+1 [09:34] theadmin: Thanks, I have started downloading it. [09:35] pardon [09:37] can anyone give a few pointers on fixing wired connection problems?

[09:39] RCM: You are in Ubuntu's support [09:39] maginot: well it could be my ethernet card, im using wired, how do i check? thanks [09:39] ubottu, offtopic | RCM [09:39] RCM: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Half of people there speak nonsense [09:40] nop, I have a few doubts [09:40] I installed linux 4 days ago [09:40] gusty, lspci may give you some clue [09:40] first time use [09:40] theadmin, I know, I'm just being gentile ;X [09:41] maginot: i'ved tried ifconfig eth0 down..up, and sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart which didn't do anything [09:41] btw, I'm portuguese so forgive me if sometimes I say some things wrong ... [09:41] RCM: Okay, so, basically, what do you want help with? [09:41] well [09:41] gusty, only after a reboot you connection come back? [09:41] yes [09:42] maginot: only after reboot [09:42] Yes, it appears as though there is 0 self-consistency in grub2's internal naming scheme. It seems to arbitrarily switch between (hd0) and (hd1) [09:42] I've been doing some research, and I found that I can install photoshop CS2 on linux.. [09:42] gusty, so its almost certainly that is a driver/card problem... you could avoid rebooting unloading and reloading you wifi card module from kernel [09:42] RCM, only if you use something like wine, at #wine-hq they can help you on that [09:42] RCM: Bad idea. But you can use WINE. For more information, reffer to winehq.org, but be aware, we don't support using WINE here. [09:43] maginot: it's #winehq [09:43] I have wine [09:43] why bad idea? [09:43] theadmin, oh sure, #winehq [09:43] maginot: how do I reload my ethernet card module? thanks [09:43] RCM, isn't exactly something native from linux, it is more like an emulation, don't like unexpected results... [09:43] RCM: Cause it's buggy as hell [09:43] hum... [09:44] there's another thing you can help [09:44] Woah. I'd better watch my language :/ [09:44] I can't emulate iso files here [09:44] RCM: you can === Urda_ is now known as Urda [09:44] gusty, first you have to know which is you card module, pastebin you lspci output and lsmod output please [09:44] !pastebin [09:44] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Open the ISO file with "archive mounter", or execute this command "sudo mount -o loop isofile directory" [09:45] archive mouner? [09:45] mounter* [09:45] RCM: Right click it, choose "Open with Archive Mounter" [09:45] RCM, mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/point [09:45] okk let me try...

[09:46] gusty, ok [09:46] the admin [09:46] luckymurali, you can't use sudo ? [09:47] the admin,then how can i use sudo su [09:47] I did it but nothing happens [09:47] luckymurali_: you don't use sudo su, you use "sudo -i" [09:47] RCM, see if you can find it on you Computer:// place [09:47] hello what package do I need to install to get nvidia blob? [09:48] nvidia-current? [09:48] there's no "place" folder [09:48] the admin, it is asking current user password [09:48] luckymurali, actually you can use "sudo su" just type the command and put you password [09:48] RCM, open you file browser and go to "Computer" [09:48] RCM: Places -> Computer. Anything like that there? [09:48] Hi. How can I see the error messages from a cron job?

[09:49] hceylan, system>admim>hardware drivers [09:49] something like file system? [09:49] jussi01, I know that, but I just say he could "use" [09:49] hceylan, that will pull all packages needed [09:49] when I open the terminal I am getting madhu@madhu [09:49] RCM: Nah, that is your Linux partition. It should be something like "CD-ROM drive" [09:49] I have this in portuguese the names could not be the same... [09:49] jussi01, thought you were sleeping ;) [09:50] maginot: we prefer to give out good information here - sudo -i does the same thing in a better way. [09:50] and no, there's no CD-ROM drive [09:50] hello iam dhanesh [09:50] dhanesh, thats good to know [09:50] that's the point [09:50] luckymurali_: Okay. Then let's perform a password reset. Boot into the recovery mode. Choose "Drop to root shell". Type "passwd madhu" and choose a new password [09:50] nothing happens [09:50] how to play videos in ubuntu [09:51] dhanesh,double click on video [09:51] dhanesh, what kind of video do you have?

I dont have GRUB [09:51] indus: thx I'll try that [09:51] dhanesh: Best way, install the VLC media player (type "sudo apt-get install vlc" in terminal and hit enter) [09:51] luckymurali_: then your system would not boot at all. You are lying there. [09:51] luckymurali without grub you cant as far as i know [09:51] any idea of what I could do? [09:52] luckymurali_: Hold SHIFT during the boot time to get into menu (on 9.10 and further) or ESC if you use 9.04 or earlier [09:52] my radio in rhythmbox player is not working.why? [09:52] theadmin, when i switch on my notebook it is directly entering inside ubuntu === andruk is now known as suckage === antivirtel is now known as antivirtel`afk [09:52] RCM: Okay. Could you please provide me the full path to the ISO file? [09:52] is there any key there to do it at startup [09:52] yes [09:52] just a sec [09:52] dhanesh,have you added the proper url [09:52] gusty, if I'm not wrong, and someone correct me if I'm, you broadcom module is b43, so rmmod b43 && modprobe b43 could be a good try before rebooting [09:53] yes but not working [09:53] /home/rcm/Transferências/image [09:53] there it is [09:54] dhanesh, do you see a buffering at the bottom [09:54] dhanesh, anyways, that radio doesnt work for me either [09:54] no indus [09:54] RCM: Okay, so you do this "sudo mkdir $HOME/isoimage && sudo mount -o loop $HOME/Transfer?ncias/image $HOME/isoimage", then image contents will end up in "isoimage" folder of your HOME folder [09:54] oh you also have that problem [09:54] dhanesh, did you solve your video problem? [09:54] maginot: great, thanks for the help. So to totally resolve this problem, I would have to find a driver patch? its odd since I'ved used the same config for about a year, and it only happened recently. [09:55] Transferências ou Transfer?ncias? [09:55] yes thankyou very much [09:55] RCM: Both display with a question mark for me, i might not have the proper fonts [09:55] ahh [09:55] hello [09:55] gusty, I never trusted broadcom drivers, but to me, using ndiswrapper with the windows driver always worked better, you should give a try [09:55] I don't recall the name in english [09:56] its the cap lol [09:56] RCM, Transfers [09:56] dhanesh, no need to thank me, i only asked to double click [09:56] maginot, my linux is in portuguese [09:56] dhanesh, also , try vlc player , it plays everything [09:56] yes iam playing in that player [09:57] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/550040 [09:58] maginot: So the problem is with my wired interface, the broadcom card is for wireless, would it be a different module for my wired card? Thanks [09:58] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/550040 [09:59] gusty, oh sorry, I thought the problem was with your wifi... well, you wired uses a realtek driver, which isn't so good too, but you can't use ndiswrapper for wired connection, so unloading the module and reloading it I think its you best try before trying to find a better driver [10:00] theadmin [10:00] gusty, I think your rtl driver is 8139too [10:00] pls look this one:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/550040 [10:01] first, it said that /home/rcm/Transferências/image is a directory, then it said that the file isoimage already exists === antivirtel is now known as antivirtel`afk [10:02] maginot: what do you mean its 8139 too? Do I reload the same b43 module? Thanks [10:02] hello, how do i generate a pgp sec/pub key in console with only one command ? without questions for crypt type, expire, realname ... [10:02] ? [10:02] hi, does anyone know where i can get help setting up my wireless? [10:03] hotmilo23, what I know so far is that you don't need to do that [10:03] gusty, if the problem is with the wired connection so try unloading and reloading the module "rmmod 8139too && modprobe 8139too" [10:03] pls look this problem:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/550040 [10:03] maginot: ah ok got it!

[10:37] lorenzosu, yeah but its too popular to even avoid... :S and that is miserable... :S [10:37] idioteque, have a look at this too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [10:37] Tom22: kiba-dock is currently unmaintained [10:37] DDAZZA: yes u will have to work with bootloader as win will wash of linux loader [10:38] lorenzosu, ok man... diggin that now... [10:38] when i try to pick the disk it goes back to the other disk when i choose *install side by side* [10:38] soreau, I've had this problem before, not with Kiba, with other apps, like Tilda and Yakuake... [10:38] idioteque, there's a section there that seems your case (you see 'something' but then it doesn't work) [10:38] ar0n: there is option , let me choose or something [10:38] geekphreak: ok thanks i'll install windows first then. [10:38] soreau must be an ubuntu problem :( [10:38] forgot actual wording [10:38] it is better to install windows first, but installating ubuntu only is even a better solution [10:39] yea I would do but I have somewhere that only runs on windows. [10:39] lorenzosu, yep... i see white emptiness... :) [10:39] idioteque, good luck then ;) [10:39] DDAZZA: win artition/swap/linux partition :) [10:39] geekphreak, im at the prepare disk. its wierd it has the option to let me pick disks, but its greyed out when i choose install side by side [10:39] hi guys, i need some help compiling an IDE for octave in ubuntu karmic 64bit.

[10:40] if i pick erase and use entire disk, it lets me pick the other disk, finds the disk with win 7 on it [10:40] they changed it on new version, so dont re,member wording, is there something like let me pick and choose [10:40] but if i click back to install side by side, it says im still using another disk [10:40] ar0n: no dont use entire disk [10:40] lorenzosu, thanks... i'll try following that webcam guide and pray that it works.

[12:34] Can't edit xorg.conf file with the live CD [12:34] huh why? [12:34] RisingChurch, delete the contents in xorg and start fresh [12:34] Because I don't have permission [12:34] RisingChurch, if using 9.10 i mean [12:34] indus, it has like nothing in it by default.

I don't think so, [12:56] hey [12:57] * NathanBdot uses X-Chat [12:57] and Problem with sonfiguration /usr/ib/libgconf-2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited status 256 [12:57] quassle is a kde irc client that has some amazeing features.

[12:57] Ok, but what I wanted to ask was is there any Friend's list for Empathy? [12:57] * rocket16 likes XChat, GNOME-XChat and Empathy [12:58] rocket16: irc dosent really do the 'friends' sort of thing.. Check the empathy docs they may have somthing similer for irc.. but ive never seen the feature there. [12:58] I just upgraded Karmic to Lucid and now I get this error when SSHing in [12:58] empthay has friend list yes [12:58] also VNC does not start like usual [12:58] vinylfreak89: see #ubuntu+1 for lucid [12:58] /usr/bin/byobu-janitor: 63: cannot create /root/.byobu/color: Read-only file system [12:58] ah ok ty [12:59] om26er, ooh, actually it does. ~/.cache/gwibber/gwibber.log [13:00] elky, thanks that adds to my knowlegde :) [13:01] om26er, it doesn't appear to log the actual messages though, but it does log just about everything else. [13:02] How do I scroll up in windows in screen in terminals from putty? [13:04] zagabar_: copy mode is generally CTRL + esc in linux [13:04] HOw do you access your root account on Ubuntu? [13:04] sudo [13:04] sudo [13:04] sudo -s [13:04] !root | Ascavasaion [13:04] Ascavasaion: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:04] SolarisBoy: Copymode? :S I didn't talk about a copy mode. [13:05] "sudo commad" will run command as root. "sudo -s" opens a root shell [13:05] hehehe [13:05] zagabar_: screen disables scrollback by default [13:05] zagabar_: you need to go to copy mode to scroll back afaik [13:05] SolarisBoy: not quite, you can access the scrollback inside screen [13:05] that makes sense :) [13:05] SolarisBoy: oh, why does it do that? [13:05] And I am on windows, so ctrl-esc is something entirely different [13:06] lol i dont know,, im guess it has something to do with virtualizing terminals [13:06] Okay. [13:06] zagabar_: is it ? even when your focused on the screen window? [13:06] Anyone know why I may be getting ICEauthority messages on bootup? [13:06] zagabar_: if so then find out the shortcut for windows/putty/screen [13:06] SolarisBoy: Yep. ctrl - esc is open the start menu [13:06] elyob: did oyu change password? [13:06] Okay. Thanks [13:07] Okay, but the root account is still there... how do I log in as root? [13:07] Ascavasaion: you need to set the password === ssc is now known as ssc| [13:07] Ascavasaion: you wont [13:07] I understand it is not wide to run root... but when I sudo chown username /media/ntfs it does not work. [13:08] sudo chown will run the command as root. [13:08] Ascavasaion: thats not the syntax of chown [13:08] Ascavasaion: what do you spect to happen ? [13:08] logging in as root and running the same command will not fix the issue for you. [13:08] command syntax must be wrong [13:08] it is [13:08] sudo chown user:group <-R> /media/ntfs if thats a directory [13:09] try "sudo chown -R user /path/to/folder" [13:09] err yea [13:09] Is it possible to password protect and encrypt and external HDD? [13:09] optitionally you can do user:group to chown both user and group in one go [13:09] -R will chown all folder contents recursively [13:09] smerz: i find it wise [13:09] ace721: TrueCrypt? [13:10] Ascavasaion: if you have problems with permissions in a ntfs partition the correct way to fix it is with mount options [13:10] Lint01, Is that a program? [13:10] geekphreak: nope. may have installed something, but no idea what now. [13:10] ace721: yes [13:10] It is working now... I used the line smerz gave me :) [13:10] Lint01, have you ever used it/ is it easy to use? [13:11] elyob: whats the exact error message? [13:11] playing radio in ubuntu [13:11] No.. I was wrong... it never worked... bleh [13:11] ace721: yes I believe... all such programs are similar, but this one is x-platform and portable [13:12] Lint01, thank you for your help!

[16:04] @iranintoavan_ you could check the wget.log file, with the tailf command: tailf wget.log [16:05] _4crickj_, what I mean is that I have restarted, and the sound is working, yet no volume/sound icon on the panel [16:06] @stummjr I tried that and it said tailf: cannot stat "wget.log": No such file or directory [16:06] iranintoavan_: hello [16:07] <_4crickj_> Shpongoole: is gnome-volume-control-applet running? [16:07] @geekphreak hey [16:07] pranay_09: login screen can no longer be configured [16:07] @iranintoavan_ check the path in which you started downloading the file, in that path must be a wget.log. or just wget.log file [16:08] _4crickj_, not as far as I can see. shouldnt it be on autostart?

[16:12] @iranintoavan_ then, tailf will constantly being reading and showing to you the updates from that file [16:13] iranintoavan_: you cam do vi wget.log [16:13] can* [16:15] @geekphreak Got it, wow thats a long file haha.

Is there a way to fix this without rebooting the PC? [21:03] raving: gparted also lists UUID for partitions in info. You may have them mixed up in text listing possibly.

A UUID was listed (although it was incredibly short, like 8 digits) [21:27] edthefuriex: I don't know with mirc - sorry - but the setting usually is named conference mode (or so) [21:27] raving: Ok so you figured it out then? [21:27] i screwed up my FS in the laptop and it doesnt boot anymore ...also the DVD drive is not detecting [21:27] LinuxGuy2009: well my solution is a bit of a hack that will probably break until I do a reinstall proper [21:27] !pm | edthefuriex [21:27] thevishy: If your drive wont boot sounds like a hardware issue. [21:28] edthefuriex: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:28] I get the grub menu [21:28] ok i'll have a look but first i need to find someone ready to help me i guess [21:28] i mean grub rescue menu [21:28] LinuxGuy2009: I think I figured out what caused it though; I had to boot into the livecd to reinstall grub, and I accidentally installed it to the boot partition instead of the drive first [21:28] :) [21:28] So it might have clobbered the uuid [21:28] If battery is going out, the bios should complain at startup? I think time is synced by ntp? [21:28] !ask | edthefuriex [21:29] bendt: Your time may be off cause the battery on your motherboard keeps the clock going during power off. Take it out and test with a battery tester? [21:29] edthefuriex: 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. :-) [21:29] it is one hour i'm here already lol but if you have time i'll ask you then ;) [21:29] the filesystem got corrupted after I ran FSCK or something of that sort ... [21:29] edthefuriex: don't ask *me* -- ask all [21:29] and the boot is not happening ... and also DVD not working ! [21:29] i have access fast and good to google google map gmail etc but almost nothing else even update is 30b/s [21:30] thats my problem [21:30] i did !! but no answer.... [21:30] LinuxGuy2000: why is time not synced at startup? Is that not, what /etc/init.d/ntp is supposed to do? [21:30] bendt: Do you have time syncing working properly or not? [21:31] edthefuriex: trying pinging couple different addresses and tell the ping time [21:31] edthefuriex: that will be because no one knows an answer - your question is a bit vague... [21:31] ok guys i have no idea how to fix this grub loader issue [21:32] i updated the my 9.10 rebooted and now it wont boot ubuntu nor windows [21:32] for google it is 38 ms for the rest more than a minute sometime [21:32] the final alert it gives is /dev/sdc5 does not exist dropping to a shell [21:32] Any idea why my server with a static ip would grab a dhcp address about twice a day?

Time is corrected a while after doing "sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart". ntp is linked to /etc/rc2.d/S50ntp. Is it possible, that it is still not executed at start? How to check?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:42] ARTSIOM: Perhaps run the command from terminal and see what error you might recieve? [21:42] LinuxGuy2009, thenit says alert /dev/sdc5 does not exist [21:42] hashed_: That's where I have my static ip set, I don't know where it is getting the idea to try dhcp [21:42] bendt: you need to call ntpdate on start (ntpd can be configured to do that ) [21:43] ar0n: Ok what is /dev/sd5 supposed to be? Swap or what? [21:43] guntbert: how? [21:43] i have no idea Linkadmin [21:43] edthefuriex: 9.10?

See if that fixes you up. [21:45] fuzion24: As long as you have the proper codecs installed I think most gstreamer using apps will play h264/x264. [21:45] LinuxGuy2009: "nice" solution, looks like windows-way. Anyway, thanks for your help [21:45] codecs need to be installed to play videos properly [21:45] fuzion24: ubuntu-resitricted-extras is a good start [21:45] LinuxGuy2009: ARTSIOM except whatever hidden .folder in Home Open Office uses would have to go as well, or probably same issue again.

Everybody here asking questions tring to get some more linux/ubuntu-knowlege. In may case maybe I should check some logs, maybe it crashes because of video or smth... just where I should to look at. [21:49] JackWat, yeah thats not helping thangs [21:49] LinuxGuy2009, oh just kicking it [21:49] yeah its not what i was looking for but there is soem docs here [21:49] JackWat: as for Ubuntu itself [21:49] JackWat: your unlikely to find a user guide for Banshee [21:49] JackWat: well there won't be one, since it's not a default app [21:49] ola [21:50] !es | jose [21:50] ARTSIOM: I think I already gave you my best advice and will most likely fix you up. Take it or leave it. [21:50] im actually more interested in the community extensions, cant seem to find them [21:50] jose: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:50] Well I need a better idea than reinstall currently.

[21:51] if hda is yoru boot disk [21:51] ARTSIOM: in fact once a program is installed, you woudn't normalley have a reason to re install it, instead just move/delete it's hidden .folder and open the app up again, and it should be like a clean install [21:51] hi [21:51] frustrado: hi [21:51] twinkle died and now, i have no audio [21:51] im sorry :( [21:51] restarting pulseaudio left me with only dummy output on sound exits [21:52] was it a proper funeral [21:52] sebsebseb: sorry, I didn't really understood your advise. I have already tried to delete .openoffice folder from my ~, but it didn't helped. is that what you mean? [21:52] ARTSIOM: thing is Open Office doesn't seem to have it's own hiddne .folder in Home, so I guess the program user data settings are stored in another hidden .folder [21:52] ok i'll go back to look for it by myself thanx for trying to help guys enjoy life !! :) [21:53] edthefuriex: are your unning through a proxy?

[21:55] ARTSIOM : BTW, theres a hidden OOo on my system ~/.openoffice.org [21:55] jackwat : that's why i don't get it [21:55] sebsebseb: oowriter command shows just a splash-screen for some seconds, than spalsh-screen disappears and that is it, nothing happens. [21:55] jackwat : nope only google the rest is 30b/s as well as the updater ... [21:56] ARTSIOM: When did the problem first happen? [21:56] hi [21:56] your isp is probably broken. [21:56] ??

[22:23] Pirate_Hunter: were the suggestsion earlier no good ? [22:23] !repeat Pirate_Hunter [22:23] meh :p [22:23] linxeh: the command would be !repeat | Pirate_Hunter [22:23] Pirate_Hunter: i'd probably try Truecrypt first, but i dont know what the preffered ubuntu way [22:24] Trek: yeah, I realised my mistype (hence the meh) [22:24] hi im trying to sudo update-grub and its giving the cannot find device for / error [22:24] Pirate_Hunter, you should look into steganography [22:24] did you try grub-install /dev/hda [22:24] ? [22:24] Pirate_Hunter, truecrypt is also open source, so would fit the free software ethis for ubuntu i guess [22:24] ethos [22:24] Hi, anyone that could help with TORA and MySQL?? [22:24] im trying to run a bash script from a php web page in the browser to lock the gnome-screensaver, but it isnt working. is there a way to run this under a different user or something? #php is saying its because the user is www and my gnome session is under my user (subone) [22:25] what will that do [22:25] ar0n: it will isntall grub on /dev/hda [22:25] hi [22:25] is hda gonna be the right dis? [22:25] it is hard to say if it is really open source because truecrypt has a custom license that it only uses [22:25] linxeh: didn't see what was suggested ealier care to post it again please? [22:25] it was already on their i updated ubuntu and it messed my mbr somehow [22:26] so you can't just look to see if it is an accessible license at fsf and osi [22:26] Pirate_Hunter: truecrypt [22:26] Hi, anyone that could help with TORA and MySQL?? [22:26] ar0n: the re-isntall grub on your mbr [22:26] then* [22:26] there is many other steganography encrypted file systems rather than truecrypt Pirate_Hunter [22:27] subone: user www must have the permission (be in the correct group maybe?) to do that [22:27] JackWat, with that command [22:27] i just need to make suer its the right disk [22:27] do a cat /etc/fstab [22:27] Pirate_Hunter, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography [22:27] brontosaurusrex, in what group can i add www to so that it can access my currently running display?

[22:29] tem algum brasileiro port ai? [22:29] how many packages does ubuntu have right now? [22:29] jakwhat [22:29] can i pm? [22:29] Pirate_Hunter, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganographic_file_system [22:29] syrius: steganography of 40GB data will arouse a lot of eyes more than encryption in my opinion... I could be wrong [22:29] can anyone tell me how do edit grub menu items? There is no /boot/grub/menu.lst on my system and I cant find anything else [22:30] Fingel: grub or grub2 ? [22:30] preciso de uma ajuda [22:30] well that is how truecrypt would hit it Pirate_Hunter [22:30] alguem porde? [22:30] linxeh: im checking it out once it actually formats itself I just wanted to know of any other apps or methods out there [22:30] there is more than hiding in images to steganography [22:30] amos if its 9.10 is it grub2? [22:31] you can hide it in any file or you can hide the encrypted volume as a normal file [22:31] Fingel: depends is it fresh install or upgrade [22:31] which is all steganography [22:31] !pt [22:31] amos fresh install [22:31] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [22:32] Fingel: so it's grub2 .. no more menu.lst mate [22:32] Pirate_Hunter, you need to set what you really need to hide and what you don't [22:32] Anyone installed Edgers Xorg & Nouveau XServer ?! [22:32] amos I'll look into it thanks man [22:32] Fingel: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 for a start [22:33] perhaps you could encrypt some stuff without steganography and have it something that others would think is important [22:33] but wouldn't matter if authorities found it [22:33] so they don't think there is another volume steganographically hidden [22:33] after editing /etc/sudoers, must i reload it somehow? [22:34] is there a way to remove moblin on dell mini 10? [22:34] syrius: of course they do, they are professionals after all [22:34] syrius: the way I udnerstood that it tries to hide the contect within another content but I need to hide at least 40GB max and don't see how that will be discreet on small files it may work... unless you can tell me otherwise [22:34] well you can slip it up [22:35] you can use a program like 7zip to slip it up [22:35] then probably take a bunch of pictures and do a high dynamic range photo which makes a really large file [22:35] Hi, anyone that could help with TORA and MySQL?? [22:35] syrius: I could but that would be a pain, no worries I may have use for that another time [22:35] do about fifty of those and you should be good enough to put all that in there [22:35] any ideas on how to restore my audio without reboot? [22:36] frustrado, did you try /etc/ini.d/alsa restar ?? [22:36] frustrado, did you try /etc/ini.d/alsa restart ?? [22:37] yes, i tried it and pulseaudio restart and hal restart [22:37] well not necessarily many of the zodiac killer's crypto codes have never been broken [22:37] so perhaps there is a steganography system that is just as good [22:37] there is some open source staganaysis programs [22:38] frustrado, sorry, that is all what I know!! [22:38] Pirate_Hunter, if you are that paranoid perhaps you should use steganyasis programs to text it out [22:38] test* [22:39] Pirate_Hunter, it also creates plausible deniablility which is something you want [22:39] so you could say that you just downloaded those images of the net without knowing that it had hidden files [22:40] Hi. I'm used to Hardy 8.04. I'm looking at, uhh,... (how do I know what version of Ubuntu I'm running?) Jaunty 9.04, I think. How come the /etc/udev/rules.d directory is almost empty? Is it supposed to be that way? Is that info somewhere else now? THere are about 30 files in my 8.04 installation,.

[22:41] wow grub2 is a real pain in the butt, just want to change a menu title and you have to hack shell scripts [22:42] uname -a [22:42] but that doesn't mean the government won't hassle a confession out of you remember your lawyer is your friend not the pole lice Pirate_Hunter [22:42] :) [22:42] uname -r [22:42] kwtm: cat /etc/issue [22:43] opops [22:43] Fingel: it's not just need to get used to it === bkevan is now known as benkevan [22:43] steganography is very good in nations that force you to reveal passwords or has made encryption illegal to share probihited programs like to china Pirate_Hunter [22:43] hi all [22:43] I start compiz effects, they work fine. I work with them enabled until I reboot. When I login to the desktop, they are still active, but after a couple of seconds of logging in, they get disabled. Seems. When I look at compiz fusion icon, it shows that Compiz is still selected and not MetaCity, When I click on the Compiz Selection, effects get reenabled again. How can I make it so that they... [22:43] ...don't get disabled after the boot. [22:45] where i can find codec for movie player?, i can't watch almost all kind of files [22:45] Let's try this again - does anyone know of a good app for renaming video files, for example TV shows? [22:45] I like monkies [22:45] renaming? [22:45] mv works great [22:46] umm i got an app (ut2004) that requires libstdc++.so.5 but ubuntu has libstdc++.so.6 i tried symlinking .6 to .5 but then it just throws errors. can i install libstdc++.so.5 along side .6 somehow? [22:47] ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html [22:47] benkevan, indeed, mv is great for renaming individual files [22:47] What I'm looking for is something like the renaming functionality of EasyTag [22:47] brontosaurusrex: Thank you. Confirmed that I am running 9.04. Where did the /etc/udev files go? [22:48] Flamekebab: gprename is nice [22:49] Flamekebab: are you renaming based on information found within the files (e.g. music files with tags like Artist, Album) or just based on the filenames (e.g. MyOldFile(number).txt renamed to MyNewFile(number).txt)? [22:49] Slart, that could be good [22:49] Flamekebab: If the latter, you could try Krename. [22:49] kwtm: /lib/udev/rules.d/ ? [22:49] i want to run jar file [22:50] kwtm, some might have metadata, most won't. I want to be able to state in a suitable dialogue box "These are all from the show 'Black Books' and it's series 2, rename them numerically" [22:50] what is the correct terminal commnet [22:50] ? [22:50] oepnjdk ? [22:50] openjdk* [22:50] although if there was the ability to pull episode names from something like thetvdb.com that'd be awesome too [22:50] amos: /lib/udev/rules.d found. Thank you. [22:50] i need some help running a bash script by running it through a php script on my server through a webbrowser. im having issues because the 'www' user doesnt have access to my user (subone) X session. any help would be appreciated [22:50] it'd be handy for files transcoded by MythTV too [22:51] Flamekebab: Then I think Krename works. It's KDE based, but that shouldn't pose a problem except if it's not your personal preference. [22:51] Flamekebab: I take it you have some way of specifying what number to rename them to, numerically. [22:51] How do I see what version of a particular package I have installed? [22:52] savid: dpkg -i or apt-cache show [22:52] hmm, something like http://tvmetadatafinder.com/ but obviously for linux would be just the ticket [22:52] in gnome, is htere a way to group similar applications together, so rather than having, say 10 different windows with xterms in my application bar, I have one item with xterm, that has 10 windows under it, a la windows? [22:53] where i can find amule for ubuntu 64x bits? [22:53] nevermind, my googlefu came through in the end..that's rather embarassing as it was the first response [22:54] ubuntu: sudo apt-get install amule ? [22:54] Ahlee.. not to mention common sense to check the properties /preferences of the said Window List Applet :D [22:54] amos: if you sudo apt-get install amule, that makes you an ass (oh wait.. that's if you did sudo apt-get donkey) nevermind [22:55] benkevan: in my defense I did try that, i just didn't click far enough to the left apparently since my menu bar was already fully populated [22:55] hmm TheRenamer seems a good option too, although again, Windows-only [22:55] ubuntu, I just installed amule from synaptic, I have 64 bit ubuntu 9.04 [22:55] ok im pretty sure i hate moblin now. [22:55] nope i get troubles [22:55] Ahlee :o) .. yeah.. I find between the right spacer and the beginning of the first in the list.. is the best place to click for preferences for a populated window list.. aha [22:55] any advice on how to uninstall this crap? [22:56] grendal_prime: maybe you're just used to goblins [22:56] and change to moblin is hard? [22:56] Flamekebab: ignoring the metadata part, i think thunar can be a simple but effective renamer [22:56] i want to get rid of it... [22:56] benkevan: whys that? [22:57] benkevan: thats the problem i dont see any way to adjust the login manager to select a different desktop. there is nothing in the interface to do that. [22:57] Flamekebab: http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/bulk_renamer [22:57] hello... I have a windows computer I would like to resize it to install ubuntu. I cant make a backup of all the files because it is too big. Is the resizer built in the installer safe? [22:57] it will not allow me to unlock certain applications needed to adust things. [22:57] grrrrr [22:57] how can i run JAR file in KDE ? [22:58] where is OPENJDK that work on GNOME [22:58] which package for sun's jdk? [22:58] ???

[23:02] is the ubuntu resize partition on the live cd safe? [23:02] jrib: yeah [23:02] Berzerker: use System -> Administration -> Software Sources [23:04] jrib: wow never knew about that, thanks [23:04] rsr: I've never had an issue with it.. and I've used a few dozen times [23:05] jrib: wait so I picked the one I wanted, but when I run sudo apt-get update, I only get like 5 different hits [23:05] rsr: It usually works fine, but there's always a risk in FS operations. Backing up your data is recommended. [23:05] jrib: lol the program deleted everything out of sources.list [23:06] Berzerker: Would you like to say a little more about what you're trying to achieve? [23:06] ah wait I think I figured it out [23:06] IT WORKED [23:06] flawlessly [23:07] rsr: that was quick. [23:07] hi all i installed vbox with ubuntu on my osx snow leopard, how can i increase the ubuntu desktop resolution? thank you in advance [23:07] I actually asked before and since no one responded I risked it [23:08] I asked again because it was taking too long... it worked right after you guys responded =) [23:09] rsr if you go through this situation frequently try using gparted livecd instead [23:09] specially when working with ntfs filesystems [23:09] dave_h_d: you need to install guest additions [23:09] newb here when I do su it doesnt authenticate with my users password that I set on install [23:09] Sensiva, thanks for the tip [23:09] hi there [23:09] you welcome [23:10] ciao raga o un probleme nel programa ubuntu mi potete agliutare ?

Youd need to select it to boot ubuntu. [23:20] i thought chrome would be more lightweight than that [23:21] i don't have any experience with wubi neck54, sorry [23:21] hi how come empathy wont work with msn? [23:21] i wish i did. [23:21] i also have 30 tabs open in firefox and only 2 in chrome [23:21] thx [23:22] is there a command to view the processes that are currently running? [23:22] guys ive seemed to mess up my mbr or grub loader, when i pick either ubuntu or win both give errors, ive tried many faqs but keep getting errors [23:23] infid, I thought that Chrome was derived from Gecko. [23:23] el_yiyo, ps [23:23] webkit [23:23] igoryonya: webkit [23:23] i think chrome is webkit based igoryonya [23:23] el_yiyo, try ps aux | less [23:23] im already in a live cd [23:23] i dont know why grub wont reinstall [23:24] el_yiyo, sorry try ps -A [23:24] el_yiyo: ps or if youd like it interactive: top. If you want it a bit more colorfull htop. and if you want gui gnome-system-monitor [23:24] DaZ, sounds familiar, is it what gnome browser is based on? [23:25] ar0n, /join #grub [23:25] A GNOME web browser based on the Webkit rendering engine. [23:25] damn [23:25] igoryonya: it's a khtml fork [23:25] ar0n, look here http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [23:26] ar0n: try booting of the ubuntu install cd and use the rescue option. drop to a root shell chroot to the linux partition and run grub-install. [23:27] el_yiyo, did those work for you? [23:27] how do I make menus in gnome's Main menu split to several columns, instead of scroll, when there are a lot programs to list? [23:28] at least thats how I usually fixed it for opensuse. Im guessing the ubuntu install cd should have similar options, dont know for sure though [23:28] el_yiyo, also you can use the command top and better yet install htop for more complete / with options top [23:28] coz_, IsoLnCHiP, igoryonya those worked fine [23:29] gnome-system-monitor is good [23:29] but I guess you have more control with the command line one? [23:29] idk what is the best channel for this [23:29] el_yiyo, well sort of yes... if you sudo apt-get install htop and run htop you should have more options available [23:30] ok i'll try htop [23:30] for dual monitors, there should be something that allows you to use two different backgrounds, and two different screen savers with two different timings [23:30] mmmmm [23:30] interesting [23:31] htop [23:31] coz_, what is the most useful info I can get out of htop? [23:32] el_yiyo: Ill second the suggestion to install htop, its very usefull [23:32] "very" is an understatement [23:32] :) [23:32] sad that it only works for linux [23:33] el_yiyo, yeah... well if you look at htop you have nice live readout of running processes along with options at the bottom of the screen for keybindings etc...also if you type man htop you will find how to use the keybindings for it [23:33] IsoLnCHiP, yep, I have already installed htop it seems interesting [23:33] # apt-get upgrade fails with Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). Any clue why this would happen ? [23:33] Byan, one more reason to move to linux :) [23:33] what's keybindings? [23:34] igoryonya: yeah, but htop isn't a good enough reason to use linux over freebsd in some applications [23:34] el_yiyo, your keybord [23:34] error msg was FATAL: Module dahdi not found. and Error: missing /dev/dahdi! [23:34] selim: while it might be possible differently, running two spereate X servers on the monitors would easily achieve this. However youd loose the possibility to move windows from one monitor to the other AFAIK [23:34] el_yiyo, in a terminal type man htop and you will see options available and keep hitting space bar to read on [23:34] Btw, (can I insert another question into our conversation here) how can I configure programs to start up when Linux starts? (like Skype, or X-Chat) [23:35] el_yiyo: you mean, start up when gnome starts [23:35] which is very different [23:35] I guess so [23:35] gnome is the desktop environment? [23:35] Byan, oh, I didn't mean that, I didn't know that it's not available in BSD, I thought you are talking about Windows :) [23:35] if you're using ubuntu (rather than kubuntu or xubuntu, yes) [23:35] el_yiyo, yes [23:36] el_yiyo: System Menu -> Preferences -> Startp applications would be one way [23:36] I have someone who's never used a computer before, and now has been using outlook since 6 weeks, one day a week (that is, sending and reading emails). Would it be a smart move to give her linux instead of windows xp, and what would be better, xfce, gnome, kde? [23:37] (asking for opinions here, not facts) [23:37] Freeaqingme: yes; ubuntu [23:37] Freeaqingme: i gave my mom linux... and she totally failed at it [23:37] Freeaqingme: ehh, linux isn't for everyone. If you can not forsee them needed to use windows software, then sure, move them to ubuntu [23:37] Byan, I don't have anything against BSD, I see everywhere, that it says that BSD is not Linux, but I don't get it, to me they look the same :), oh, well, I am not experienced in [nuix] to notice the difference yet. [23:38] selim, how came? [23:38] Freeaqingme: otherwise, just get them thunderbird [23:39] igoryonya: in this case, htop uses API specific to linux and so it can't be run on freebsd [23:39] specific to the linux kernel === balto_ is now known as rexi [23:40] IsoLnCHiP, I want to add X-Chat to the startup applications, I am in System->Preferences>Startup Apps. Now I go to Add but I don't see how to add X-Chat [23:40] el_yiyo: in "run command" put "xchat" [23:41] el_yiyo, click the Add button name = xchat command= xchat [23:41] Byan, which, of course can be modified to add bsd api aliases, hmm, I wondwer, how difficult it could be. [23:41] Freeaqingme: Easy way to test is to just stick in a live CD and let the person give it a whirl themselves [23:41] ok [23:41] Freeaqingme: or use wubi [23:41] igoryonya: I've been wondering that too =p [23:42] el_yiyo, if you dont know the command to start an application you could go to system/preferences/main menu find the application click it and go to properties the command to open the application should be listed there disregarding any % sign generally [23:42] Freeaqingme, anything to move away from outlook, that buggy, virus prone mail client. [23:42] igoryonya, no need to convince me. I've been using nothing but ubuntu since 5 years now [23:44] Byan: I've seen a lot of code that has bsd checks in generic function implementations, so that those functions can be used in unix, linux, bsd and, I've even seed darwin conditions in many programs' subroutines. [23:45] coz_, cool [23:45] Hi, I am trying to print out a PDF I just created from LaTeX, when I try to the status of the printing job is always "Processing". Looks like there is something wrong with this particular PDF file, since I can print everything else. Any ideas what the problem might be? [23:45] anyon know how to set the desktop backgroup to strecht over to monitors rather than repeat? [23:45] useful tip [23:45] just do fill screen [23:46] worked for me [23:46] I used Kile 2.1, it creates the pdf without errors. [23:46] coz_, in Linux, all applications are referenced by only the command that runs them? I mean, I do not ever need to know the path to the "executable" file? [23:46] but unless you have a ridicilously wide image it looks terrible [23:46] selim: well, then that answered the first part of your own question ;) [23:46] el_yiyo: there are paths that are looked into by default, and thats why you don't need to specific the path [23:47] el_yiyo: if the executable is somewhere in PATH then the shell will find it [23:47] "how to set different backgrouds on the two screens" [23:47] great [23:47] el_yiyo: if you were to install something in a weird place, you would need to reference it by a full or relative path. or add that path into PATH [23:47] sort of [23:47] el_yiyo: « which command » will tell you where the executable is [23:47] !fhs | el_yiyo [23:48] but i was hoping two different images for two different monitors [23:48] el_yiyo, no ..in general just the command [23:48] doesnt really matter tho lol [23:48] el_yiyo: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [23:48] selim: a simple fix/hack would be to just compose two images together [23:50] el_yiyo, I meant "correct" just the command is , in general... all you need to execute an application [23:50] is nvidia-current the right package to install to get the binary nvidia drivers? [23:51] Quick question. Installed UNR 9.10 in a VM, want to run it in the same resolution as a netbook - how can I hand-pick the resolution, the menu only shows 'normal' ones - not ones like 1024x600. [23:51] My USB device sometimes crashes and needs to be reset. I want to do that without unplugging, but apparently that is not possible. But disabling the whole USB system should cause all devices to be re-enumerated. How can I dis/reenable the USB controller? [23:51] * desrt is currently unable to even start X [23:51] Freeaqingme, I am just giving my opinion, :) , I've moved from windows just recentlly (a month ago), and the last drop, that spilled my patience was a virus, that made windows unbootable. (and I had the latest updated antivirus, firewall, and 've always done malware security checks and been careful with suspicious and unknown files, etc. didn't help), some rootkit wormed from WAN/LAN, thru... [23:51] ...some newly discovered security hole in stelth. [23:52] igoryonya, ah, know the feeling ;) I had a dualboot setup long time ago, but because I knew windows better, I rarely booted linux. Until the day I had to reinstall windows yet again: the ultimate opportunity to enlarge my linux partition :D [23:52] Freeaqingme, security hole in windows, installed itself in stelth mode. [23:52] stealth? [23:53] selim, wallpapoz is pretty spiff too if you're using different virtual desktops on diferent monitors [23:53] brummbaer: whoa whoa what [23:53] whoa whoa whoa. [23:53] I installed an update to ubuntu 9.10 and now my printer won't work...I'm a newbie---idiots terms, plz [23:53] what do you mean by virtual desktop, first [23:53] Is it possible to setup exim at home so my machine can send emails out? [23:53] hi, I'm using cheese webcam for surveilence, and sometimes it records properly and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't the video doesn't play, but you can forward through it. Or it only record for a half hour and the rest is missing [23:54] Freeaqingme: Similar situation with me, I only wish it would happen to me 5 years ago, as to you, because, I keep wondering, why I didn't move to linux earlier. [23:54] Basically want it so I can do thing like mail -s "blah" me@gmail.com [23:54] byan, the workspaces where you have different apps running but they're the same user login session... [23:54] How do you start up and use zoneminder? [23:54] brummbaer: so, you are speaking of workspaces. you can have different workspaces per monitor? [23:54] hi all [23:55] haven't done it myself, but i've seen people do it. [23:55] i only have a laptop [23:55] Byan, erUSUL coz_ ubottu that's fine. I'll have a look at the file system info. thanks for the clarification [23:55] do you have any idea where I can figure out how to do that? [23:55] anyone have, a url for download FAST tehe ubuntu server? [23:55] el_yiyo, no problem [23:55] hi guys, i updated a fresh install of ubuntu on my dual boot setup, it somehow farked up the grub loader, after selection it gives me both an error for win 7 about invalid signature, and a host of other errors for ubuntu [23:55] ive already booted into a live cd, and tried a few things but keep getting errors. [23:55] I installed an update to ubuntu 9.10 and now my printer won't work...I'm a newbie---idiots terms, plz [23:56] back sorry weird connection problem [23:56] Byan, in Windows, many viruses, trojans, worms, etc, install themselves in stealth mode, which means that they don't reveal themselves in anyway while installing. They bypass security somehow and install themselves without any GUI/NonGUI, window, and a no process in the process list. So, the user finds out about them after it already installed and something happened to the computer. [23:56] igoryonya: you were saying "stelth", which is why I was confused =p [23:56] I didn't know if that was some keyword I hadn't heard of [23:57] Byan: ah, ok, some words I don't know how to spell. [23:57] Is it possible to use exim from home so my computer can send emails out? [23:57] jshriver: sure... [23:57] how? [23:57] tp43: how should I understand "the rest is missing" - black screen but seekable? [23:57] thanks guys. good night, see you around here [23:57] byan, i'll try to find the link for ya. [23:58] :-/Dude....anyone able to help? [23:58] jrib I tried a couple things online but nothing seems to work [23:58] tp43, http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu [23:58] jshriver: erm, you just install it [23:58] did that [23:58] updates to ubuntu and now printer leaves docs in "que" [23:58] hmw, I have it recording for 3hours, but there is only the first 30mins in the file. But this is the first time this happen, usually what happens is the file doesn't play. but I can forward through using the mouse and scroller, or left arrow [23:58] but if I try sending an email out nothing goes thru [23:58] Q_Continuum: The virtual machine only shows few resolutions until you install the guest additions generally [23:58] hiexpo, thanks [23:58] how to setup pulseaudio in ubuntu so that i don't lose my sound wherever i start any game or application through wine? [23:59] jshriver: and during debconf you told it you wanted it to be able to send mail to the world? [23:59] el_yiyo, :) , good morning for me [23:59] tp43, yep [23:59] hi all [23:59] !hi [23:59] yeah, last howto I followed said to choose internet server [23:59] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[23:59] sassinoogi, try restarting x or rebooting first then go into system/administration/printing to be sure your printer is still recognized...if not click "New" and reinstall the driver [23:59] after that I stuck with defaults [23:59] jshriver: firewall issue? [23:59] jshriver: 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 :) [23:59] brummbaer: I'd appreciate that
