[00:00] Byan: Yes its possible to have different workspaces on different monitors. One example is xmonad, it takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it and get past the haskell part (grudge off) its cool [00:00] ubottu: sorry [00:00] It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ [00:00] i installed ATi driver an on reboot all that comes up is the black screen an the login: [00:00] byan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6831827&postcount=12 [00:00] !smart [00:00] jrib: dont think so, firewall shouldn't affect outbound mail (dont think) and don't care about receiving to need to open the ports [00:00] i had favorited it cuz i though it was so hawt [00:00] jshriver: The easiest way would be to set it up to send via a smarthost, otherwise your mail will likely be considdered spam by many mailservers [00:00] heya RoadRunner [00:01] ratdog here [00:01] IsoLnCHiP: what is a smarthost? [00:01] ratdog! [00:01] :) [00:01] came in here for some help [00:01] !ubottu [00:01] Skype (static) doesn't pick up input from my microphone. Sounds - Input also doesn't register any sound in. However, Sound & Video - Sound Recorder works without any trouble. Any idea what the problem may be? [00:01] metoo [00:01] basically want my server to send mail when things finish up and send it to my gmail account [00:01] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [00:01] brummbaer: hrm, but then I can't move windows accross to gap between monitors? [00:02] I think I already knew about this [00:02] i installed ATi driver an on reboot all that comes up is the black screen an the login: [00:02] ...it recognizes the printer, but remains "quied" [00:02] after i login command to activat the ATI driver? [00:02] I had Windows 7 installed on my 1 TB HDD and I have another HDD that is 500GB that I just installed Ubuntu on but whenever I turned my computer on it just boots straight into windows. It doesn't have a bootloader and I tried using EasyBCD but was unsuccessful. What should I do? [00:02] byan: don't think so, they'd be on diff x sessions [00:03] brummbaer: yeah, exactly [00:03] hmmm [00:03] alazyworkaholic, you need to uncheck the Skype's let skype manage microfone automatically setting, or something like that and then in the volume control, move the mic all the way up. [00:03] oh well [00:03] daedhead, mm you may want to speak with soreau about this.. he know quite a bit about ati problem solving [00:03] ok [00:03] alazyworkaholic, there is a problem with Skype, where it moves the mic volume all the way down, when that check box in Skype's properties is checked. [00:04] I just installed Ubuntu on 1 of 2 HDDs but whenever i turn on the computer it just boots straight into windows. It doesn't have a bootloader and I tried using EasyBCD but as unsuccessful. What should I do? [00:04] coz_ when is he around? [00:04] deadkode: What graphics card model is it? [00:04] coz_....your suggestions didn't pan. Do I have to reinstall the driver if the system recognizes the printer? How do I know for sure? [00:04] microphone [00:04] Hey all! How do I get the ubuntu Network manager to open from the terminal? [00:04] jshriver: basically, you can have exim just relay mail through some smtp server (like google's for example). If you don't want to do that though, I'd still suggest you check your firewall for sure before moving on [00:04] daedhead, he is logged on right now.... i dont know if he is at his system at the moment so just alert him by typing his name and also giving him the readout of lspci | grep -i vga [00:05] I just installed Ubuntu on 1 of 2 HDDs but whenever i turn on the computer it just boots straight into windows. It doesn't have a bootloader and I tried using EasyBCD but as unsuccessful. What should I do? - Windows 7 + Ubuntu 10.04 dualboot [00:05] coz_ he just said something [00:05] whats that [00:05] daedhead: Which model card is it as reported by the output of 'lspci|grep VGA' ? [00:05] RoadRunner, Install grub [00:05] sassinoogi, well y ou could delete the current driver and reinstall it [00:05] RoadRunner, what ubuntu did you install? [00:05] i have mobility 3600 HD [00:05] deadkode, that will give a read of of the exact card you have on the system [00:05] 10.04 [00:05] jrib: ok googling now on how to use gmail as a smarthost [00:05] oh [00:05] RoadRunner, which drive order are they installed onto? [00:05] i'll try that [00:05] Byan: at least nvidia cards have an expand desktop mode, where you can move windows between monitors, I think another option was xinerama [00:06] deadkode, you open a terminal and type lspci | grep -i vga or just copy and paste that into the terminal window [00:06] RoadRunner, http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [00:06] soreau i had to boot to windows [00:06] coz_: what if it's not on the model listing? [00:07] jshriver: Smarthost refers to you ISPs Mailserver, its like sending mail from a 'normal' Mailclient. try a websearch for exim smarthost setup, I think you mentioned exim before? [00:07] why you speak english here [00:07] IsoLnCHiP: ok ty [00:07] bbiab [00:07] daedhead: I guess fglrx driver sucks. The good news is, the open radeon driver supports this card for 3D now and this will be in the Lucid release. 3D should work even on a live cd, without installing any proprietary driver [00:07] sassinoogi, mm it should be if it was working previously or at least one that is close to the model you have ....if not you may have find out if your printer is still supported but if it was already working prior to updates it should be [00:07] sassinoogi, it should be in there [00:08] I have 3 HDDs, a 1TB - Windows 7 x64, a 500GB - Ubuntu 10.04 x64 and another 500GB. I originally had Windows 7 installed first then I installed Ubuntu doing a complete erase of the 500GB HDD. Now whenever I boot up it just boots into Windows. I can also see the Linux partition in windows disk management tool [00:08] RoadRunner, I've had a similar problem. I changed the Ubuntu HDD to be the 1st boot HDD in BIOS and it fixed my problem. [00:08] * genii slides daedhead a Space Your Face sticker [00:08] can i recover my instalation [00:09] igoryonya, cool, another question.. [00:09] is GRUB always installed by default? [00:09] RoadRunner, what igoryonya suggested was a good idea. I suspect that you have your drives booting or installed in the wrong order. [00:09] I was just under the understanding that grub didn't even install haha === xdaniel is now known as x11daniel [00:09] I think grub is only installed when you do a side by side installation. [00:09] Like on the same HD. [00:09] jshriver: hmm, dont know if using gmail is going to work, so far ive only used smtp mail providers for smarthost setups, so you might want to check with you ISP if you have a mail address with them [00:09] igoryonya: thanks for the suggestion, but I'd already taken care of that. Sound - Input doesn't pick up sound even if I leave skype off & check that mic boost & mic volume are maxed in alsamixer [00:10] well it wasn't installed on the same HDD as windows 7 [00:10] RoadRunner, I am not sure about GRUB, I am a new user to linux, yet. [00:10] reinstalled and still "qued" [00:10] soreau how do i restore the original driver [00:10] I thought you did a dual boot with two HD? Not a side by side on a single HD? [00:10] alright, will try reboot [00:10] see ya round daedhead [00:10] i'm removing bcedit [00:10] coz_reinstalled a printer and still remains in que [00:10] RoadRunner [00:11] RoadRunner see you on DAL [00:11] :) [00:11] faw shaw [00:11] take it easy [00:11] RoadRunner: Yeah, Grub won't work on 2 separate HDD, only if it's 1 partitioned drive [00:11] Does anyone know a terminal command to open the ubuntu network manager? [00:11] IsoLnCHiP: unfortunately I dont have an email with my isp. but think I'm making ground :) [00:11] RoadRunner: What you need to do is change the order of the boot sequence for the drives in the BIOS as suggested earlier [00:12] ....restarting system...will be back [00:12] M1ck3y: try network-manager [00:12] mertle: says not found [00:12] k [00:12] phreak [06:11:13] * Quits: RoadRunner (~mp33pm@cpe-70-112-55-89.austin.res.rr.com) [00:12] lol === daedhead is now known as ratdog [00:12] daedhead: Boot into recovery mode and remove xorg-driver-fglrx [00:13] mertle: when I try NetworkManager it says "you must be root to do that" but when I sudo it nothing happens [00:13] !info xorg-driver-fglrx [00:13] M1ck3y: try net and then hit tab button twice [00:13] soreau the command?

[00:15] alazyworkaholic, some soundcards have several mic inputs, some of them don't have a physical plug, and sound drivers could default to the one without a plug for some reason. You need to manually select the right one (but I don't remember where it is :( ) [00:15] !hello [00:15] how can i put zsh working as my default sheel ?

[00:16] whats the name of tty package? [00:16] ratdog: So.. 1) Boot into recovery mode 2) Run 'sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx' 3) Open x conf with 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' 4) Remove (or comment out) the line: Driver "fglrx" 5) Do Ctrl+X, then 'y' and enter to save 6) Reboot.

The command is run through sudo, after i changed the sudoers file to allow any scripts in this one particular directory. The screen is indeed blanked out, however it does not run the screensaver (fspot) and lock the screen with password.

[00:23] M1ck3y: the networkmanager prob isn't in the startup file for fluxbox - you can edit /etc/network/interfaces to add eth0 and then restart the networking [00:24] ar0n: did you chance harddrives around or add a new one?

[00:27] hiexpo, a few times 9.10 on an eeepc 1000h [00:27] mertle: i was surfing web testing different webbrosers then sudenly tty1 opened. as i was once using that once to shutdown X once so i recognized tty and remembered command how to get out of it. but first i wanted to check if anything isnt runing in any tty so i went thrue all till tty6 and log in screen appeared. while going thrue tty1-6 computer was thinking so i assume it was loggin out just i didnt see that couse i was in tty mode [00:27] hiexpo, i did all the updates but no change [00:27] soreau, on the ATi site is reads that the 64 bit driver will not work IF the 32 bit driver is not installed.. [00:27] it [00:27] weird [00:27] eein, where'd ya get the image file from ? [00:28] ratdog: I'm more experienced with the open driver than the proprietary fglrx [00:28] o [00:28] glad the open driver will be in lucid [00:28] hiexpo, the xubuntu website [00:28] mertle: no it from tty6 returned to log in screen [00:29] i have alot of problem with demux an kaffine trying to watch TV with my winTV950q usb [00:29] eein, oh it's xubuntu [00:29] i hope that bug gets fixed [00:29] mertle: loging in showed all fine as usual log in. everything closed nothing opened [00:29] hiexpo, yes but i thought the login packages were the same [00:30] eein, i don't know so retpe ? [00:30] i believe Totem will support digitalTV in luicd better [00:31] mertle: i didnt log in tty mode. i logged in from usual log in screen couse it opened automaticaly [00:31] I have just installed ubuntu9.10 onto a 2 gb pen drive using USB Startup Disk Creator under System>Administration. Please correct me if I am wrong, this installation just copies the live CD onto the pen drive, right? Hence it also does not prompt for a username at bootup. Is this the best way to install ubuntu on a pen drive? [00:31] hey everyone I am trying to use wget to download a site and would like to have it go in the background so I tried putting my command it and then I put a & after it but it is still showing all the output from the program in the terminal window.

[00:32] mertle: so if i loged in with usual log in then i logged in in xfce session as its default in login screen [00:32] Kangarooo: sounda like your browser caused X to shut down for a sec - nothing would show in the X log about that - maybe in ~/.xerrors [00:32] ? is there a way to turn a kde desktop distro into a gnome dexktop or do i have to build one ? [00:32] s/sounda/sounds [00:33] I had my MP3 player plugged in with a dodgy cable to my computer. A konqueror window saying 'A new medium has been detected' froze; my MP3 player froze soon after. I fear that something weird has gone on related to my storage media; how should I get rid of the window? I have a bad gut feeling that xkilling it might cause Konqueror or some other stuff it uses to cause data loss. [00:33] fuzzybunny69y: WGET COMMAND > /dev/null 2 > &1 [00:33] .. [00:33] Why is my clock so messed up [00:33] hiexpo: you can install ubuntu-desktop and choose it at login [00:33] it is not 9:30 am [00:33] It's 4:30 pm. [00:33] heya ph33r ya h33r [00:33] fuzzybunny69y: or just use -q [00:33] lol [00:33] Bonjour all, i am having quite the issue. I cannot unistall a program. Sudo apt-get remove won't do it :/ [00:33] RisingChurch, not sure...did you change it on the system ...try to set it corectly? [00:34] Using the manual edit doesn't do anything either.. [00:34] Yuck: I have two of these 'A new medium has been inserted' windows and they're behaving weirdly. [00:34] Syncing with the server doesn't do anything [00:34] mertle, reason i ask is cause i also use backtrack and i hate kde looks and feel want to change it if possible [00:34] Automatically sync on the internet doesn't change anything either. [00:34] hiexpo yes you can swap between KDE an Gnome on login [00:34] how do i run visudo whent here are errors in the sudoers file [00:34] mertle: u mean .xsessionerrors ? i dont have .xerrors [00:35] Kangarooo: that'll be the one [00:35] ratdog, i know that here in ubuntu [00:35] ratdog, was off topic [00:35] oh [00:35] hiexpo: I don't know about backtrack - do they offer diff desktop environments? [00:36] mertle, nope [00:36] Anyone have an idea why ssh pops up a gui window asking me to unlock my private key, after having manually renamed my useraccount? [00:36] When I minimized a particular one with its minimize button or task bar section, the other minimizes too. It takes two clicks at the task bar section to minimize it. for the other window, minimizing it doesn't minimize the other, but it minimizes without animation. [00:36] hiexpo: see if there is a package at gnome or sumthin [00:36] well, here i go wish me luck [00:36] :) [00:36] mertle, ok [00:36] mertle: i t also has no timestamps can recognize how to see error there. should i upload thouse 2 files to pastebin? can u have a look? [00:36] mertle, ok thanks [00:37] Why does Ubuntu makes a personalized Firefox? It cannot be upgraded to 3.6, for instance. [00:37] Kangarooo: it would prob be near the end - I could look [00:37] mertle: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/410302/ thats xorg.log and .xsessionerrors http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/410304/ [00:37] Sure, I could download it as a separated packaged, but why?

[00:44] shockrates, compiz itself really doenst use much of the resources [00:44] shockrates: it's more if the vid card can have the necessaries running [00:44] shockrates: you won't feel a big difference, but there is one. Try it. [00:44] shockrates, it is going to depend greatly on the video driver more than anything else [00:44] i am using nvidia driver for fx 5200 card [00:45] and i have 512sdram [00:45] shockrates: did you read, what I told you? *g* it runs nicely on a 32 MB Card !! [00:45] shockrates, ok the fx5xxx series should work fairly well with compiz... [00:45] ok then [00:45] heheh [00:46] hey all [00:46] oh btw how can i change gdm background [00:46] there was a command i think [00:46] mertle: yes thats why i want to report it. its maybe even a security bug couse computer doing what i havend told him to do. and i cant recreate couse i was just reading in arora and many tabs open and didnt touch anything and now also i reopened all tabs and liferea reader was open and now its also open. maybe liferea reader was refreshing himself. but how its possible to auto open tty1? [00:46] can someone help me with a script [00:47] tables: depends [00:47] hmw, can I pm you [00:47] tell me, what you want first [00:47] Kangarooo: to report a bug you need to know what went wrong - ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't do anything? [00:47] mertle: there was another log file witch had some timestamps. what was that? [00:48] Kangarooo: syslog is one [00:48] mertle: ctrl+alt+f1-7 all works [00:48] i'm trying to rar folders, then upload the rars via ftp, then delete the rars and the folders [00:48] mertle: all are clear. [00:48] Kangarooo: ctrl+alt+f1 is tty1 - "but how its possible to auto open tty1?" - what do you mean? [00:49] mertle: if x window system would crash then it should show terminal on all screen and not open tty1 [00:51] mertle: how its possible that on crash tty1 was opened? only if virus programm installed witch made that command and i have only installed from apt-get in this computer [00:51] Kangarooo: I don't know what you mean - tty1 is a terminal on the whole screen [00:51] Bonjour all, i am having quite the issue. I cannot unistall a program. Sudo apt-get remove won't do it :/ [00:51] do i need to install the full compiz or just the gtk packages? [00:51] gtk-based packaes [00:51] shockrates: compiz is already installed by default in ubuntu [00:51] Kangarooo: nope - if a prog crashed and took out X you would end at a tty till gdm restarted X [00:52] the kde based packages are only for kde? [00:52] or can be used here too? [00:54] mertle: hmmz ah yes couse it auto went out of tty6. ok then if that is correct then something wrong went with logging out. then logging out was somehow auto opening. why gdm while restarting x also loging out happened? automatically? [00:54] mertle: so it shouldnt log out.

[01:01] Kangarooo: from what you told me you really can't say what there is a bug in - I think you need to know that - have a look at ubuntu-bugs for a howto first [01:01] perlsyntax: try #firefox [01:02] what's the bash variable for the default webbrowser www-browser something?

[01:20] ZykoticK9: yes GeForce 7600 [01:21] THE_GFR|WORK, do you have anything special in your current xorg.conf?

[01:22] ok [01:23] ? All my friends told me ubuntu was kool asked them what is it they said like windows so i said how can i get it but never investigated what it was not knowing or having a clue what linux is /// the closest thing to a computer i knew was windows i want to do something i click a little icon thingy and it works well i come here and just do not understand why i can not make anything work it must be broke / what is apt what is a sh [01:23] ell /// it must be broke my friends lied this is not kool it don't work for anything whatwas i thinking to not look what i was doing before i did it how i did not investigate it [01:24] ZykoticK9: gtk-warning cannot open display [01:24] expo, use the LiveCD first [01:24] THE_GFR|WORK, you need to be inside Xorg [01:24] Hi @ all [01:24] mertle: i thing maybe i just report bug for webbrowser arora couse this browser i have used only today and that what makes this day different from others for this computer. none other programms was opened. exept liferea but it was allways table [01:24] stable [01:24] try it before you use it kind of thing [01:24] I have to change my desktop resolution settings everytime i boot up, i can i get it to stay from the last session?

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:25] I realy need some help. I must connect to my ssh server using a socks5 server with auth [01:25] Kangarooo: you can do that - first check if similar bugs have been reported [01:25] ZykoticK9: can't do it from an SSH connection? [01:25] . [01:26] mertle: yes im googling arora crash login ill try also xubuntu and liferea. what more sugestions? [01:26] THE_GFR|WORK, you might if you have X setup over SSH - but if you're getting the error, you'll need to wait till you get home i guess - did you start your ssh session with "ssh -X COMPUTER"? === windows_xp_user is now known as msdos [01:26] does this sound familiar to most [01:26] no [01:27] hiexpo, what sound familiar? === msdos is now known as Guest85701 [01:27] Kangarooo: try the bugs page - there is a search there iirc [01:27] colorlessprism, read up lolo [01:27] Sogorukuhn: i am not sure, if that is possible, a socks5 is a HTTP proxy, isnt it? === Guest85701 is now known as Guest27396156456 [01:27] colorlessprism, just making a point [01:27] I think no. But I'm not shure [01:27] mertle: ok but what is iirc? u mean irc? [01:28] no I did not ZykoticK9 basically when I try to save the config with the nvidia settings panel it says it can't remove the old xorg.conf.backup file [01:28] or I need a browser with SOCKS5 + Auth support [01:28] hiexpo, try a LiveCD, a test drive if you will. its not broken, and its not windows [01:28] Kangarooo: iirc = if I recall correctly :) [01:28] ah ok [01:28] Sogorukuhn: I was wrong. Socks is a TCP proxy, it seems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socks5 [01:29] im learning some thouse abr. ftw :) [01:29] THE_GFR|WORK, you have to manually go into the /etc/X11 folder and move the current xorg.conf to a backup name like xorg.conf.orig then re-run the "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [01:29] sudo mudo wudo [01:29] lol [01:29] kudo [01:29] super user do [01:30] colorlessprism, i knew that i put it wrong lol i have no expectation in running windows i am from unis and hate windows i was just writting that in conclusion of how people act /// click and go and no clue to what there last move was [01:30] THE_GFR|WORK, sorry, you *really* need to move the xorg.conf.backup file -- sorry [01:30] you`re soo smart [01:30] the problem is, that the datacenter where was the hosting firm i have my VPS, switched off all ports from the hosting firm. They opened the ports 20, 21, 22 and 115. But I had a custom SSH port on my VPS. Someone from the datacenter gave me his SOCKS5 Server access, but I can't connect through it [01:30] hiexpo, you case seemed a little extreme, but sometimes you never know [01:30] lol [01:31] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ideatorrent/idea/11787 [01:31] hi === Guest27396156456 is now known as Y0Z [01:31] hiexpo, i clicked the icon and and blah blah blah came up and said "a bunch of numbers" can you help me? [01:32] with 666? [01:32] colorlessprism, and now myh sh==s broke lol [01:33] my xbmc is not responding, seems like it's frozen, any keyboard shortcuts to shut down a program or switch tabs into desktop ? [01:33] hiexpo, true dat [01:33] gn [01:33] oh so true [01:34] ddrj, alt+f4 closes program, but terminals can kill by pid [01:34] Sogorukuhn: does this command look interesting to you? ssh -o "connect -5 -S proxy.socks5.ip.name %h %p" target.ip.name [01:34] colorlessprism: just tried alt + f4, n othing's happening :( [01:34] think it's frozen [01:34] the program [01:35] ddrj, ok, open up system monitor [01:35] Sogorukuhn: Looks like making such a connection should be quite easy. I have not yet tried to use a proxy for ssh before. I'd need a proxy for "playing" until i get it [01:35] how do i do that? (xbmc is currently frozen in full screen" [01:35] ddrj: alt+f2 type xkill click the window that's frozen [01:35] o [01:35] colorlessprism you know if it was poison and kill them would they do it /// it blows me away { click here i can fix you } heres a pill i can fix u but it's really cyanide [01:35] mertle, nice one for ddrj, i always forget xkill [01:36] ty, let me try alt f2 [01:36] ZykoticK9: doing the sudo on that config file and then doing the setup worked [01:36] ddrj, ok, open up system monitor [01:36] hiexpo, i want to help people since it was hard for me to get help, but i have to wonder...was i THAT bad at first??? [01:36] THE_GFR|WORK, now after restart it should remember your settings :) [01:37] ZykoticK9: it does :) thanks :) [01:37] that was a bit odd though [01:38] anyone know how to get the pid of a program running buggy in GUI and kill by terminal? [01:38] THE_GFR|WORK, actually that's unfortunately business-as-usual right now for nvidia + karmic ( & lucid) [01:38] Sogorukuhn: http://www.mail-archive.com/ssh@clinet.fi/msg03969.html [01:38] colorlessprism sometimes people need help and there is not an answer out there yet but before i usually help i type there ? in google and if the answer pops right up i don't help cause they never looked and want to be spoon fed [01:38] colorlessprism, "ps aux" to find the PID then "kill PID#" or "kill -9 PID#" if it's really in bad shap [01:39] s/shap/shape [01:39] hiexpo, google is a great help...sometimes wording makes it hard though [01:40] Zykotick9, aux...i keepforgetting aux and only type ps. thatnks [01:40] colorlessprism the first thing i do is try to get help with google or yahoo because i do not wanna look like ana idiot [01:41] How do you run a .sh file? [01:41] hiexpo, i spend a TON of time in forums searches [01:41] sh file.sh [01:41] me to [01:41] kerbrus, bash [01:41] kerebrus, "sh filename.sh" is easiest - or you can make it executable then use path or ./filename.sh to run [01:41] in a terminal [01:42] Sogorukuhn: I have to give up. Perhaps those debug settings help you. Good luck! [01:42] Ah thank you everyone [01:42] good luck [01:43] the problem is no longer exists. the hosting firm just switched off all servers [01:43] Broadcast message from root (pts/2) (Wed Apr 7 04:38:05 2010): [01:43] The system is going down for system halt NOW!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:15] How can I tune the ATLAS library on my machine? It's meant to be tuned for each machine during compilation (depending on cache sizes, number of cores, etc.), but Ubuntu just installs a binary.

[02:27] it was test live disk [02:27] and it alters, not tries to mount, ALTERS data on my drive [02:27] i dont consent to this [02:27] gdory: i see... i can't imagine a reason, why the system would do this. Sounds evil. [02:27] and it not being in the agreement is illegal [02:27] DasEi: yes [02:27] gdory: it does not alter anything on your HDD... [02:28] then why does a sha1sum show different checksums before & after booting a live cd from 9.04 up? [02:28] gdory: explain what exactly it altered? [02:28] err, im checksumming disks between reboots of the live cd [02:28] HD shouldn't be getting touched [02:28] gdory, again, did you mount it? did you open the drive in the places menu? [02:28] AT ALL [02:28] no [02:28] i did nothing [02:28] nullbeat: karmic ? [02:29] gdory, does it have a swap partition?

[02:31] * iflema :) [02:31] After doing a mass update in ubuntu (500 updates) my mouse is no longer working. [02:31] im asking a question here [02:31] My wireless wasn't showing up so I followed a thread that said to go into nm-system-settings.conf and change where it said "managed=" to true, the in console do a "sudo killall nm-system-settings" and then do a "sudo nm-system settings". Now my wired connection isn't showing up either. I tried changing "managed=" back to false but both my wired and wireless connection are still broken. [02:31] Any idea? [02:31] My bluetooth mouse/keyboard stopped working after an Ubuntu update, any idea what might cause this? [02:31] i want to know why ubuntu devs made 9.04+ rape HD's when testing the live cd [02:32] where is the 18 and older chat room [02:32] a live cd needs no disks, should not touch any disks other than those needed [02:32] Anon154: /list *18* or /list *adult* [02:32] gdory, no, you're ranting and spouting bs... "what is it changing on my hd" would be a question, one which we were trying to help you answer [02:32] >:oNobody is of any help in here... [02:32] RFXCasey: restarting the network and/or NetworkManager might help. sudo /etc/init.d/network restart (might be networking restart) and /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [02:32] psusi, no [02:32] nothing like that [02:32] need help, have a logitech quickcam, having trouble getting it to work with 9.10 [02:32] gdory, can you find another word to use that doesn't trivialise that particular assault. [02:32] why is it CHANGING data period [02:32] gdory, glad to see it { i would suggest Microsoft thats in your ball field [02:33] asfd: see if blueman will work for you.. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/blueman-bluetooth-manager-for-ubuntu.html [02:33] My bluetooth mouse/keyboard stopped working after an Ubuntu update, any idea what might cause this? [02:33] hiexpo, im a BSD user [02:33] hi deathcrawler [02:33] i expect a system to do as intended, not what it feels [02:33] gdory, the most likely answer to that is either because it found a swap partition, or because you asked it to mount the filesystems [02:33] Anon154, You're on the wrong network. This as a network for Free Software discussions. [02:33] and the fact that ubuntu devs are allowing this to happen is a disgust to the OSS community [02:33] psusi, this disk has two paritions [02:33] i totally agree with it [02:33] My bluetooth mouse/keyboard stopped working after an Ubuntu update, any idea what might cause this? How can I get them to work again? [02:33] one vfat, one ext2fs [02:34] no swap, nothing [02:34] asfd: does bluetooth work on an older kernel? [02:34] no [02:34] not even in recovery mode [02:34] it manipulated data on ALL partitions [02:34] even in < 1024 [02:34] why [02:34] ? [02:34] i have no swap which means nothing???? [02:34] gdory, and was the ext2fs cleanly unmounted? you checked the two partitions independently? [02:34] ubuntu's T&C's do not state it will do this [02:34] psusi, yes it was [02:34] can anybody help me out, trying to get my logitech quickcam to work with ubuntu 9.10, [02:34] in any case [02:35] why would a "live cd" test disks [02:35] !enter [02:35] asfd: I imagine the bluetooth package failed somehow during the update. [02:35] that is NOT it's purpose [02:35] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:35] the live cd is to "TEST" ubuntu [02:35] not to rape your media [02:35] gdory, stop using that word. [02:35] test or rape [02:35] asfd: do you have access to the system using another mouse/keyboard? [02:35] gdory, the latter. [02:35] because in any case, ubuntu is doing the latter with the prior [02:35] im sorry [02:36] anyone knows why testdisk not copying files(recovering) to folder i selected? [02:36] gdory, one guess would be that it was not cleanly unmounted so it fscked it [02:36] but you screwed up ubuntu devs [02:36] how sad is it he updates his machine and the mouse and keyboard stop working complete ubuntu #fail [02:36] you have made me hate linux even more [02:36] psusi, besides the point [02:36] when will the authentic version be issued??in April?? [02:36] i mean 10 [02:36] gdory, I'm not an ubuntu dev. chastising people here, who are volunteer support givers, isn't going to help any [02:36] a live CDROM should NOT be touching any media other than it's own. period.!

[02:37] what?? [02:37] elky, i would have though this channel be filled with devs [02:37] thought rather [02:37] gdory, why? it's the /support/ channel. [02:37] but clearly it's a niche [02:37] well, duh [02:37] ok ill try this one more time, i need help getting my webcam to work in ubuntu [02:37] the version is the date who said that stupid remark [02:37] !patience | gmonnie [02:37] asdf: hmm.. can you ssh into it from another machine?

Handbrake? It is just few examples. [02:54] I'll look it up, but something where I can edit the fps, bitrate audio compression and frequency and such [02:54] hexdump_: mencoder does it all, it's just hard to use [02:56] this is making me mad [02:56] hmw: I used flashmpeg, smart ripper, vobdec, and something else. maybe there is a custom packages somewhere. I'll roam around. There is a site I used years back called doom9 but I'm not sure if it's still around. [02:56] sorry flaskmpeg [02:56] doom9 is still around [02:56] ah ha indeed [02:57] hexdump_: mencoder or ffmpeg might be what you're looking for.

Now my wired connection isn't showing up either. I tried changing "managed=" back to false but both my wired and wireless connection are still broken.

I recently installed Emerald and I've tried and tried to uninstall it to no avail.

Any help on the matter? [03:52] anyone got any tips on running Ubuntu headless? [03:52] dsnyders, yes, thats why its not a major issue, it will fix it self somehow, im not the only one with one of these nettys [03:52] iskari, thanks but i already know how to install ubuntu. im looking for the cleanest way of going about it while maintaining easy access to windows 7 [03:52] switch10_:does my wired connection have to be on first? [03:53] RFXCasey_: I have no idea if that will even help. [03:53] lastelement0: read the installation guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall then make sure you partition properly. grub will handle booting. [03:53] Does anyone know how to get a webcam to work on Ubuntu 9.10 with websites? [03:53] (bluetooth)Why is my main.conf has the following line: Name = %h-%d ....when i run hciconfig -a i get Name: 'MiDispBl' [03:53] lastelement0: if you have dualbooted linux and windows before you'll know how you can choose between windows and linux on boot [03:53] RFXCasey_: yeah don't worry about the reinstall. What make and model is the wireless card? [03:53] lastelement0, well, grub detects win 7 and just adds it to a list when you boot your computer so you can choose if you want linux or windows [03:54] BlackDalek: you could try deleting it and readding it. are you on 9.10 karmic? [03:54] chelz iskari, yes i have dualbooted in the past, just using one hard drive. not two :) [03:54] B3rz3rk3r: just a simple install of ubuntu server is how to do that. there's a lot of documentation on doing different things with ubuntu server on the wiki. [03:54] chelz yes, karmic. I will try deleting/adding [03:54] chelz iskari, so wasnt sure if it would be better to unplug my windows 7 drive while installing ubuntu [03:54] lastelement0: grub will handle that just fine as part of a normal install. :) [03:55] switch10_:ok done [03:55] lastelement0: no, actually it's quite necessary to leave it plugged in so the installer can detect it and set grub up to allow you to boot to it. (if you want to boot to it) [03:55] chelz, i need X though, so i ahve installed regular Ubuntu and will just install the packages i need [03:55] does anyone here know how to get a webcam to work with a web site on ubuntu 9.10 [03:55] Hi all! Where/how do I set up my system so that the time gets set via a time server? [03:55] RFXCasey_: what make and model is the wireless card? [03:55] chelz, so how do i make ubuntu boot and autologin without a keyboard or monitor? [03:56] chelz, well my other thought was have it in a way where i have to select the ubuntu drive from the boot menu on startup [03:56] My main.conf has the following line: Name = %h-%d ....when i run hciconfig -a i get Name: 'MiDispBl' [03:56] B3rz3rk3r: how do you plan to remotely connect to the box? [03:56] chelz: thanks, but im trying to install grub on a partition, not on the mbr, I plan to chainload it [03:56] chelz, that way it would default to windows 7 drive unless i forced a boot from the ubuntu one [03:56] chelz, il be using freenx, ssh and vnc [03:56] does any body know why? [03:56] lastelement0: you can do that if you want to, but grub has worked fine with multiple drives for years [03:57] B3rz3rk3r, You don't need to have the machine autologin. [03:57] Hey, is there a specific channel for the Netbook Remix? [03:57] dsnyders, i thought that too, but some services wont start until its logged in [03:57] chelz, yeah ill just have to look into grub more so i can get it set up how i want. also what is the benefits to chainloading? [03:58] switch10_: I did a networking restart and got * reconfiguring network interfaces... Warning: ifup -a is disabled in favour of NetworkManager. Set ifupdown:managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [03:58] daedrie: hmm... I won't be able to help you. If it was my machine, I'd wipe the partition and get my backup (or reinstall). Investigate "partimage" - very useful tool, especially if you want to experiment. (Certain packages are hard to uninstall, like KDE) [03:58] Hexxeh, no NBR channel i'm afraid - best to ask your question here [03:58] ZykoticK9: Righto [03:58] lastelement0: chainloading is the only way to boot certain OSes, with multiple linuxes it's a way to have separate boot manager (usually grub) menus [03:58] Hexxeh, no clue, but let me know what you find, im on the netbook thingy too, and i love it =) [03:59] chelz, ah okay. thanks [03:59] Well, just installed netbook remix, having a minor problem. When I boot it up, I get a text-mode terminal login, and I have to login manually and type startx, and then it works [03:59] B3rz3rk3r, What services don't start? [03:59] RFXCasey_: yes, you are using NM. [03:59] It should obviously do this automatically, where's the file that should do this? [03:59] Cyber_Akuma: i haven't done this but at least in a similar way to how one would install to a partition with grub1, installing to a partition with grub2 might be like this: "grub-install /dev/sda1" [03:59] Hexxeh, apt-get install gdm/kdm/xdm your choice [03:59] hi [04:00] !hi | Klitchzko [04:00] Klitchzko: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:00] dsnyders, i think freenx server and node dont start until someone has logged in [04:00] iskari: Surely it's installed by default though? I get one of those if I click switch user after starting X [04:00] where can i find the driver for broadcom wireless device? [04:00] Cyber_Akuma: you might try specifying the partition number, i think it might work. i'm not readily finding any guides on installing grub2 specifically to a partition tho [04:00] Hexxeh, yes, but whats the harm in trying? =) [04:00] RFXCasey_: I have to go to work, but my suggestion is to do a google search for the make and model of your wireless card, and see how to get it working.. [04:00] iskari: Okay, any idea which the default one is? [04:00] Can anyone help me with ubuntu? [04:00] B3rz3rk3r: just read the documentation on those [04:00] ok thanks [04:00] does anyone know how to get a webcam to work with flash in ubuntu 9.10 [04:00] Hexxeh, default is GDM [04:00] chelz - deleting/adding the printer failed [04:00] i just installed ubuntu [04:00] switch10_:thanks [04:01] !freenx | B3rz3rk3r [04:01] B3rz3rk3r: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [04:01] I'll give it a go, cheers iskari :) [04:01] Hexxeh, oh sh*t forgot, lowercaps :P [04:01] Whattt [04:01] Just rebooted and this time it loaded :/ [04:01] It seems totally hit and miss [04:01] how do i start ubuntu? [04:01] i just clicked on ubuntu at start when my pc rebooted [04:01] dsnyders: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime === Klitchzko is now known as desynch [04:01] and then it shows me a cmd list [04:02] Thing is, this is a MID, no physical keyboard so I can't start X without plugging a hub and keyboard in [04:02] hi people! how do you access ext4 from windows 7? [04:02] hi all have you some tips chacks to force cups starting on lucid i have some issue to autostart it might be rc.local is a good place? [04:02] where can i find the driver for broadcom wireless device? [04:02] progre55: you don't. :( you could create a network share though [04:02] thx chelz, il have a more in depth read of that now [04:02] anyone there? [04:02] i am with ubuntu 10 beta, i have a gma 3150 and i download and compiled the 2d drivers , but dont have xorg.conf, how can i install t [04:02] progre55: in case, you have a second computer, of course [04:02] BlackDalek: is there anything that changed recently? anything at all? maybe even installing an update. you might try checking logs when trying to print [04:02] hmw: what do you mean a network share? [04:03] hmw: oh, not really =) I have them as dual-boot [04:03] chelz.. nothing. [04:03] skypce_: lucid support is in #ubuntu+1 but xorg.conf files aren't needed starting with i think ubuntu 9.04. the only time one would be needed is with some nvidia drivers. [04:03] I got a mac. I have to print from that instead. I don't have time to work this out. [04:03] BlackDalek: no interesting syslog /var/log/messages or dmesg output? [04:04] * maginot is bored [04:04] progre55: then you are ... in trouble. Perhaps you can copy the data from within Ubuntu to the windows partition? Perhaps resizing partitions and create an intermediate "sharing" NTFS partition? (utilizing live cd + gparted) [04:04] maginot [04:04] * maginot is still bored [04:04] Does any body knows why my changes from main.conf (bluetooth) doesn't take effect after booting up? [04:04] hmw: oh yeah.. that could be an option.. thanks man, appreciate [04:04] ANYONE THERE [04:04] where [04:04] i need help with ubuntu [04:04] Da-M-E-M-0, so, what is your problem?

[04:15] Da-M-E-M-0: the same way you started vista from that menu is how you start ubuntu [04:15] Da-M-E-M-0: if that is not starting ubuntu then it means there is something wrong with your ubuntu install [04:15] pepper_haze, did you update your flash player to the latest one? latest version is 10,0,45,2 check: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [04:16] Chelz. i will look rightnow one sec guys what its saying to me brb [04:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/410368/ right here chelz :) [04:16] pepper_haze: does your webcam work with other programs in ubuntu?

[04:17] how chelz? [04:18] can you explain for me ? [04:18] chelz, yeah [04:18] pepper_haze: is flash allowed access to your webcam in flash settings?

[04:20] pepper_haze: do you have the latest flash player? or are you on a 64bit install without the 64bit flash player? [04:20] !ask | Jester05 [04:20] Jester05: 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. :-) [04:20] I am using a 32 bit install [04:21] I am a developer [04:21] I'm in the process of creating a program to "tether" the droid to linux and need some input... when I stop the program I have it executing killall openvpn [04:22] i really dont understand chelz, i stop Samba,and may be i reconfig smb.conf chelz? === pepee_ is now known as pepee [04:23] Jester05 why rewrite the wheel? [04:23] It says no webcam detected when I click on play [04:23] Ok it said : GNU GRUB Version 1.97`beta [Minimal BASH-like like editing is supported. and then it showed a ''cmd'' called sh:grub> [04:23] I just noticed there is a play button [04:23] when I click on play, it says no webcam detected [04:24] kitche, currently I couldn't find a program that'd do it all.. eventually I'm going to develop a gui for it and also try to make a tray item for it [04:24] well well chelz is busyyyyy now? [04:24] how to know the services running in background? [04:24] today: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1195 [04:24] today: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat [04:24] chelz do u know my problem [04:25] does any one know how to set acpi to off? [04:25] li all [04:25] hi* [04:25] Okay, i read now [04:25] Da-M-E-M-0: if you can somehow pastebin a picture of what your screen displays after you select ubuntu in Grub i might be able to make sense of it [04:25] I've got a few different scripts I run for it as is but my "/etc/init.d/droidlink stop" just flat out kills openvpn, I don't like just killing the entire openvpn in case some users are sing that program for other things [04:25] use the comand "ps aux" sasayins [04:25] main language of this channel is English? [04:25] thanks a lot. [04:26] m0p0: only language in this channel is english. Are you looking for an Ubuntu support channel in another language? [04:26] Da-M-E-M-0: cont you even have a camera on your cellphone? [04:26] pepper_haze: is your webcam integrated into your computer or is it separate? [04:26] SWAT is better than samba gui chelz? [04:26] but to the same token.. people are probably not going to have a vpn setup when they're connecting via broadband tether anyway [04:26] m0p0, yes [04:27] chelz, I know what the promblem is, I wasn't hitting play [04:27] today: it's something to try since the samba gui isn't [04:27] today: moving your smb.conf and running the samba gui might regenerate a new file though. which i advise trying. [04:27] pepper_haze: ah, alright :) [04:27] But I have anouther promblem now, my ubuntu, will only allow one device to be used by a program at a time [04:28] I can use a device with mutiple programs, like I can't get sound with multiple programs, or use my web cam with multiple programs [04:28] chelz im googling the problem. i saw many people having probs with it. it says something with the grub is defect [04:28] m0p0: there is a russian irc channel if you know russian [04:28] Amarok will not add music to the library from an external USB drive, how can I make it do so? [04:28] peoples, i have a trouble - VirtualBox don't cach multimedia hotkeys. what should i doing that resolve this trouble? (sorry for bad English) [04:28] m0p0, #virtualbox [04:28] how do I change this, beacuse flash video camera player takes a pic of the web cam before it starts playing and won't use the web cam beacuse it has taken that pic [04:29] thanks [04:29] pepper_haze: did you do a new install of 9.10 or did you upgrade? [04:29] I did a new install [04:30] pepper_haze: did you ever install or change sound settings related to OSS or ALSA? [04:30] no [04:30] I don't think so [04:33] hey guys, plasma freezes from time to time while i'm working around with kubuntu, sometimes occurs when i'm not in the range of a wifi hotspot, it might be the network manager? it's really annoying when i'm doing important stuff cause i have to wait 'till it comes back, any suggestion on this? thanks in advance [04:33] hola [04:33] pepper_haze: you might try upgrading your flash player [04:33] ubottu, es | huesos [04:33] huesos: 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. [04:33] After a system update, the computer reaches graphics mode, displayes the login background, but stops. The mouse and keyboard is responsive, but the harddrive light is on constantly. I can't login on another prompt, only enter username, then nothing. Is it some heavy updating procedure going on in the background, or does it seem something is fubar? [04:33] hello, is there a way to call a window to whatever desktop you're on? for example, i have an emacs window open and running on desktop #1, is there a way to assign it a hotkey such that the emacs window shows up when i hit an assigned key shortcut? if there are none, i can probably code something that would do it. [04:34] albertolempira: /join #kubuntu [04:34] w00tz: Compiz' plugin Scale can do it (in conjunction with then Scale-Addons plugin) - i think it is fetch window [04:34] costre: leave it for at least 30min to an hour depending on how old the computer is. if it still hangs you might need to boot to Recovery Mode and do a fix [04:35] chelz message : [04:35] GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4 [04:35] Minimal BASH-likeline editing is supported. For the first word TAB lists possible command completions. [04:35] Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file completions. [04:35] Da-M-E-M-0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] chelz, i did that, but sometimes i get help on #ubuntu faster than in the kubuntu channel [04:35] hmw: let me check it out [04:35] chelz: i just want to fix error "dont run system-config-samba" , why you show me SAWT app ? [04:35] albertolempira: that probably would work best with stuff installed in both ubuntu and kubuntu. plasma is not installed by default in ubuntu though. [04:35] w00tz: well... it can do something similar in fact - you can get all windows sized down and click one to go to that window/workspace - in this overview, you can make it fetch the clicked window [04:36] w00tz: you need CCSM for that: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [04:36] Da-M-E-M-0, the time you are trying to solve this you could have already reinstalled ubuntu [04:36] today: the issue you have is because something is wrong with your smb.conf. swat might fix your smb.conf or you can rename your smb.conf and hopefully Samba GUI will make a new one. [04:36] hmw yeah that's somethign smilar to mac's expose, but it's not exactly what i want [04:36] w00tz: i know and i dont know another way. [04:37] thanks Chelz, i see your good idea [04:37] hmw: no problem. have you tried using Guake? The drop down console? [04:37] w00tz: wut? dropdown console? something like a desklet/panel applet? [04:37] w00tz, wow... I think was that app I was trying to find a long time ago but could remember its name [04:37] hmw: thanks for the suggestion though ;) [04:38] hmw: no, it loads a console on boot and basically listens for the assigned keystroke [04:38] hmw: when you hit, it comes down and transparently lays over your windows providing you a tab-enabled terminal [04:38] at VietNa, hasnt Repository so that install App very slow [04:38] hmw, yukiaki or something along those lines is also a drop down console activated with I think F12 [04:38] w00tz: i see - like in some games [04:38] Out_Cold: yakuake [04:38] llutz, yes [04:39] was close :p [04:39] hmw: you can launch screen on it and what not, it's very convenient for development, it's pretty much one of the best apps out there ;) yes, Yakuake and Visor (for MacOSX) are similar. It's incredibl. [04:39] incredible.* [04:39] w00tz: may I pm you? [04:39] hmw: sure ;) [04:39] w00tz, what is the shortcut for guake ? [04:39] F12 [04:39] It's F12 by default, but I set it to Alt+~ [04:39] nice... [04:40] * maginot finally is not so bored =D [04:40] Da-M-E-M-0: even when you try to boot to the "(Recovery Mode)" one?

[04:45] llutz: ah :( that's right [04:46] Da-M-E-M-0: well i'm not sure why grub is doing that, but this might fix it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD [04:46] llutz: scunizi no that's grub-legacy [04:46] crivera: wireshark.. you'll have to start it with sudo [04:46] scunizi, i'm giving it a try now, but all i see are IP addresses flying through the console [04:46] hi, I'm new to Ubuntu. I installed today. But I don;t know how to install the driver. I downloaded the package. Its a zip file. Can any one tell me please how to install the driver. [04:47] Da-M-E-M-0: is this a Wubi install? [04:47] maybe i'm not using the right network interface.. [04:47] hello all [04:47] crivera: wireshark is very capable.. but a pain to learn.. there's lots of docs on it.. unfortunately I'm no expert with it. [04:47] thanks anyway [04:47] demultiplexer problems......... [04:47] will definitely dig into it [04:47] arand: good question [04:47] with kaffine' [04:47] arand: grub2 doesn't use "hdX,Y" notation anymore? [04:47] Guest97866: What driver, what is inside the zip file if you extract it? [04:48] arand: Yes I extracted. [04:48] llutz: follows sda# notiation for second number [04:48] Guest97866: what is the brand and model number of the device you need the driver for? [04:48] arand: really? stupid idea [04:48] llutz: hence (hd0,1) is first partion (1) of first drive (0). [04:48] arand: now Its showing like realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06x.tar.bz2 [04:49] hi guys~ [04:49] arand: stupid because "hd0" = 1st drive :( [04:49] in Linux using the FTP connect to Linux Server ,is verry fast~ [04:49] Guest97866: That's also an archived file, extract again ;) [04:49] arand: and a folder is also displaying "RHEL5" [04:49] arand: ok [04:50] Guest97866: is your sound not working? why do you want to install this driver? [04:50] >.< [04:50] chelz: yes that was not working. [04:50] arand: now I got the Install file. I run that file with terminal. Is this right? [04:50] got any one know how to do a one IRC server? [04:50] Guest97866: But Normally if you get to the stage of a driver coming in an archive, something is wrong, and there is normally a better way to do things... [04:51] Guest97866: .rpm, .deb, or .bin? [04:52] arand: that was not showing any ext. only Install is written over there.

[04:55] Guest97866: ubuntu provides graphics drivers for almost all use cases. what brand of graphics card do you have?

I am looking into it right now [05:03] pawan, just make a folder called wallpapers in ~/Pictures and put them there [05:03] sudo mv -f ~/ file dir [05:03] scunizi: ok I'm uploading === james is now known as Guest2897 [05:03] scunizi: http://imagebin.ca/view/DOjVcfT.html [05:03] hiexpo: you'd better don't use that command [05:03] hmw, i just use nitrogen to set wallpaper (and it's configured to list all images in ~/Pictures) [05:04] how to go to ~/pictures [05:04] Guest97866: the page i linked has a link to a zip with some stuff that supposedly can help [05:04] whats GrandUnified Boot loader [05:04] why [05:04] chelz: ok I'm trying [05:04] pawan, 1) ctrl + l 2) ~/Pictures (not ~/pictures) [05:04] airtonix: i use eye of gnome for that usually, it adds the images to the list anyways.

[05:11] fuzzybunny69y, lynx or links2 ? [05:11] fuzzybunny69y: you could try links2 [05:11] Hick0rd, agreed, that's so strange. Check the MD5s after the burn to make sure it's good. [05:12] anybody know how to prevent something from loading when you boot ubuntu? [05:12] fuzzybunny69y: nmap .. but I don't know what "switches" to throw [05:12] fuzzybunny69y: nmap -sP 192.168.0.* or whatever ip-range you use [05:12] wineman: depends on what the thing is [05:12] wineman, when you boot or after a user logs in ? [05:12] wineman; system, preferences, startup applications [05:13] wineman: depends. One could chmod 000 to make it non-executable. [05:13] fuzzybunny69y: tcpdump [05:13] KRStwo_, welcome to "after user logs in" [05:13] ok let me type this up [05:13] whos got coffee [05:13] airtonix; indeed. thanks for having me. [05:14] wineman: actually, it is four zeroes: chmod 0000 filename - i do not set 0666, so that I see 0000 later and remember, that it was an executable before. [05:14] Want to set a custom resolution, 1024x600 - so I can emulate a netbook's interface for UNR 9.10 - whats the easiest way to add that as an option on the VM's resolution choices? [05:14] hi [05:14] not getting any sound [05:14] how can I create a key pair to use with putty? [05:14] pawan: did you ever have sound on ubuntu? [05:14] airtonix, it is a fedora machine and it doesn't have links2 [05:14] no [05:15] fuzzybunny69y: try nmap like llutz mentioned.. works great [05:15] !sound [05:15] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:15] pawan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [05:15] !RSA [05:15] randomusr, for what I remember putty need to use it own tool, putty-key or something like that [05:15] hmm [05:15] no volume control [05:15] randomusr: http://www.howtoforge.com/ssh_key_based_logins_putty [05:15] **putty-gen [05:16] maginot, then do I export to the host? [05:16] scunizi, I just ran nmap -sP 192.168.0.* and it said Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 52.111 seconds [05:16] pawan: it should look like a speaker in the upper right corner of your screen [05:16] randomusr, on the host you will use a normal key, and you will use a normal key on putty-gen to generate a putty key to be used in the program [05:16] no [05:16] waiting for sound [05:16] oh n/m i think the range was wrong [05:16] device [05:16] fuzzybunny69y: is your network 192.168. 0 or 1 [05:16] fuzzybunny69y: what's your IP scheme? .1.xxx or .0.xxx or .2.xxx [05:16] it was 2 i think [05:17] fuzzybunny69y: you can do "ifconfig" [05:17] fuzzybunny69y: nmap -sP 192.168.0.* or whatever ip-range you use <-- means you have to change it to fit your network [05:17] randomusr, I really don't know why putty just don't use a rsa key direct you first have to convert the key... I used to carry to keys on my pendrive [05:17] *two keys [05:17] llutz, yeah I changed it and it found some [05:17] how to check sound device is working or not [05:17] when i turn on the computer after grub choice i get the black screen with the white ubuntu logo, then it goes to black screen with white text to log on to tty1. I can log in or not it doesn't matter, it pauses for about 30 to 45 seconds. Then it gives me errors about dvb, which would be my tv tuner card in my laptop. Then after the pause it goes to the animated logo screen and loads as usual. If i could prevent it from trying to load the [05:18] hmm [05:18] thanks you guys you are al great [05:18] pawan: aplay [05:18] wineman: you got cut off at "prevent it from trying to load the" [05:19] fuzzybunny69y: happy hacking [05:19] ok [05:19] If i could prevent it from trying to load the tv tuner card i wouldn't have this problem. [05:19] is it OK, that my DVB-T USB stick gets quite hot? [05:19] wineman, I suppose you could black list the module [05:20] you wouldn't know how to do that would you. I am new to ubuntu? [05:20] im amazingly pissed off [05:20] wineman: if you blacklisted it you'd have to manually load it before you can use the card though [05:20] grendal_prime: state thy emergency [05:20] i just got a dell mini 10 with this moblin installed...how the hell do you get that off the machine [05:20] hi, how to go to the directory /user/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ [05:20] that's fine ubuntu don't support my card anyway. [05:20] excuse me does anyone knwo if IE works with Wine? [05:20] ive tried everything [05:20] hmw, if isn't hot at the point of making an egg on it, I suppose its normal.. =P [05:21] maginot: i still can hold it in my hand. thank you! [05:21] chelz just run virtualbox and call it a day. [05:21] glick: there is ie4linux which will load up ie6-7 but .net stuff won't work [05:21] yelp [05:21] wineman, first you have to know the module name, maybe inspecting with "lsmod" could give you some clues [05:22] hang on [05:22] unable to access the sony memory stick on ubuntu [05:22] ubuntu 9.10 to be precise [05:22] apparently firefox doesnt work well with SAPs website [05:22] the distro is linux mint [05:23] phatwabbit, isn't you memory sticky corrupted ?

[05:23] glick: what's SAPs websites? [05:23] phatwabbit, what is the output of dmesg when you plug it? [05:23] SAP [05:23] its a company scunizi [05:23] have never used to mem card on ubuntu..this is the first time [05:23] wineman, echo "blacklist tuner" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:24] grendal_prime: have you tried booting to a vanilla ubuntu 9.10 iso installed to a usb stick? [05:24] can any one tell me please where is the drivers directory is placed in Ubuntu?

[05:24] weird phatwabbit we use ubuntu machines to check to see if memsticks are good still [05:24] maginot: won't work, use tee [05:25] yeah unfortunatly i dont have winxx [05:25] maginot: won't work [05:25] sudo bash -c " echo 'blacklist tuner' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" [05:25] oh, sure (I'm used to sudo su, but I'm not supposed to give this "bad advice" here ;)" [05:25] glick: do you have any win on cd? [05:25] no chelz this is brandnew factory install ubuntu...i mean...it seems rediculas to have to go through all this to just get a simple gnome desktop for christ sake. [05:25] nope [05:25] still permission denied [05:25] wineman, take a look at what chelz said [05:25] ok guys i love you cya [05:25] maginot: use sudo -i and you are free to give that advice here ;) [05:26] that space might cause some issues but i think that might work === KLC[at]HOME is now known as KoluCCi [05:26] sudo -i is dangerous [05:26] ok it took that without denieing it [05:26] chelz: why? [05:26] glick: ouch.. probably won't work but you might look at reactOS's site.. they try to emulate win .. maybe they've advanced enough to run IE [05:26] grendal_prime: doing a fresh install on any new hardware is something i've always had to do. ;/ [05:26] didn't print out anything though [05:26] chelz, - you watchin american idol ? [05:26] ayrus_: most drivers are built into the Kernel directly. Not built-in drivers can be dynamically "inserted" with insmod on run time. Most drivers can be compiled into the Kernel or made a module for insmod. You find Kernel modules in /lib, if I am not mistaken, but that will probably not help you very much. Why did you want to know? [05:26] with the mini 10 i have been using it was an appearece opton ..i could use the switch desktop if i wanted to use the remix type desktop. i just want the standard desktop on this thing..its just a royal pain. [05:26] scunizi, i dont want to hack a bunch of stuff and reinstall my OS in order to go to one damn site [05:27] llutz: all the reasons running as root is dangerous. at least sudo makes it so you're sure you mean to be running something as root [05:27] maybe ill just use a library computer or something then [05:27] wineman, no, cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:27] hey so any ideas on troubleshooting wpa problems with ubuntu [05:27] glick: no hack.. no reinstall.. if you want to try it run it in a vm with virtualbox [05:27] !wifi | rshakin [05:27] chelz/maginot [05:27] grendal_prime: yeah sounds like you want a reinstall. you could also try Ubuntu Netbook Edition but it doesn't sound like you like netbook-ish interfaces [05:27] wineman, take a look at the last line, should be there what you just echoed, reboot and see what happen [05:27] rshakin: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:27] anything specific to look for in [05:27] dmesg [05:27] chelz: different thing. IF you need a root-konsole," sudo -i" is the way to go. besides that, you might be true [05:27] # EDAC driver for amd76x clashes with the agp driver preventing the aperture [05:27] # from being initialised (Ubuntu: #297750).

[05:28] wineman, np [05:28] phatwabbit: it's probably a permissions issue then. you need to chown and/or chmod stuff [05:29] is it possible that this damn laptop is not working fine with linux? [05:29] coz my friend has a toshiba and it is able to 'see' MS PRO cards [05:29] hmw: any other ideas on how i would find out whats failing on the inside, because i've done all of the normal steps on getting this to work [05:29] its for my mother in law..she has been using ubuntu desktop for the past 5 years..no i have to drop this in her lap with some funky impossibly confusing interface ? you guys seen this...you have to like click on menus over and over again..it blows [05:29] phatwabbit: when you use filesystems that honor permissions, then they'll only work with the system you made it on unless you tweak stuff with chown and chmod [05:29] phatwabbit: this is filesystems 101 [05:30] grendal_prime: right. discussion is in #ubuntu-offtopic. [05:30] rshakin: no ideas :( the debugging tutorial is quite elaborative, did you read it before? [05:30] hmw: i've had issues with this for a while, had to use a new driver inside new kernel and stuff as per instructions on the forums on getting my wireless card to work [05:30] Why is ubuntu so heavy? It`s 3-4 times slower than Windows XP [05:31] YOZ, my ubuntu is 3-4 times faster. [05:31] rshakin: i see. I am many things, but certainly not a Wifi expert. :) [05:31] YOZ: this can help you http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/128940 [05:32] fluxbox [05:32] Y0Z: you might try xubuntu. or try looking for some guides on slimming ubuntu down. you might have stuff installed that you don't want. [05:32] Y0Z: u should try openbox with tint2 [05:32] its nice [05:32] hmw: did get it to work but, it will only connect to a unsecured wireless ap, and as far as anything else it won't connect to [05:32] Y0Z, well, I can't complain, my ubuntu boot on 10 seconds =) [05:33] folks, upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10; have a weird new 'feature' with the mouse cursor when using apps in the gnome desktop (most noticeable with gnome terminal) if typing, mouseclicks are 'disabled' until the mouse is moved [05:33] 10 sec? right :) [05:33] Y0Z: ubuntu minimal https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:33] eg, lets say I click-to-paste immediately after typing something; it won't appear until I wobble the mouse, then click again [05:33] and also i am having issues with the radeon driver... it seemes like the opensource implemmintation of the driver is kinda laggy for X1200 chipset for ATi [05:33] didn't used to be that way in 8.10 and it's a serious aggravation. any thoughts? [05:33] is this an intentional 'feature' ... or? [05:34] dixond: you could see if that happens in a 9.10 live environment [05:34] rshakin, use the official driver provided by ATI [05:34] chelz: good thought. [05:34] I'm pretty sure I've seen this with other installs though - I suspect its a general 9.10 thing; just don't know if its on purpose or not... :-/ [05:34] maginot: for some reason when i install that one it says the card is not found and when i use the wizzard to look for the hardware restricted drivers it does not prompt me like on my laptop [05:35] rshakin: I remember that the troubleshooting page was talking about stuff to prepare for WPA2 (perhaps even installing some) - I don't know, how much you know about wifi and Ubuntu, so I can't say, if you already know that all. The tut was really quite good, perhaps you wanna give it a try. [05:35] hmw: i will look into it right now see if i can dig up some logs or something to find out where it's failing [05:36] dixond: i haven't heard of anything like that until now [05:36] rshakin: Be successful :) [05:36] dixond: it might be a compiz thing [05:36] rshakin, well, I'm not a ATI user, so can't help you any further then recommending using the driver provided by ATI, all I can say is that nvidia drivers are a perfect fit [05:36] sorry for the delay [05:36] here is the pastebin [05:36] http://pastebin.com/Sv4MyGcb [05:37] lets see... [05:37] what are the major differences between a wubi install and actual install of Linux? [05:37] phatwabbit: pastebin the output of: ls /media/* [05:37] er [05:37] phatwabbit: pastebin the output of: ls -la /media/* [05:37] god it makes me sick [05:37] was sutch a great os.. [05:37] chelz, - hows chelz doing tonight? :) [05:38] phatwabbit, did you run dmesg after pluggin the device ? [05:38] DarkVoid82: one is inside the ntfs partition of windows and an actual install creates a partition for linux. wubi installs are sometimes a bit slower and less stable than primary ubuntu but for tryout purposes it works pretty well. i wouldn't recommend using a wubi install for more than say 3 months though. [05:38] !ot | hiexpo [05:38] hiexpo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:38] grendal_prime: dell actually sells normal ubuntu on minis these days i hear [05:38] chelz: oh! you've just reminded me. maybe it is to do with the radeon driver - i'm using the opensource one at the moment instead of fglrx because of a bug. maybe its to do with hardware cursor or whatever. [05:38] DarkVoid82: a wubi install does put all the files on an NTFS file system, which is not really compatible with *nix. You will not have file permissions, for example, and you will not have perfect performance. Wubi is for testing/playing with Ubuntu only in my opinion. [05:38] used to use fglrx in 8.10 [05:39] Hi! I am wondering if anyone here is familiar with using OpenMPI on Ubuntu and can help me with a problem in this package. Thanks! [05:39] dixond: was that bug from before or do you know that bug is in 9.10? [05:39] ya the first one i got had reagular ubuntu on it..this one...moblin..and i cant seem to get it off the machine [05:39] chelz: I'm dual booting 9.10 and and vista and i just made a live cd for 9.10 netbook remix, so i was just curious [05:39] !ask | poi77 [05:39] poi77: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:39] phreak@phreak-laptop ~ $ ls /media/* [05:39] DarkVoid82: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29#Limitations [05:40] ls /media/* [05:40] phatwabbit: pastebin [05:40] sorry [05:40] !pastebin | phatwabbit [05:40] phatwabbit: 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. [05:40] also still having issues with my dvdrom drive on 9.10 [05:40] phatwabbit, because if you did, or you are plugging the memory sticky on the wrong port, or something isn't working, there is no output of anything plugged beside your HD and DVD [05:40] I can't get openMPI to recognize more than one processor on Ubuntu. The error is: It seems that [at least] one of the processes that was started with mpirun did not invoke MPI_INIT before quitting ... Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? [05:40] dixond: yeah trying to use that stuff now might work then [05:40] phatwabbit: ls -la would be better also [05:41] chelz: 9.10 [05:41] I'm trying to edit my fstab by adding this line: /dev/sdb1 /media/Echo ext3 defaults 0 0; when I go to access my "Echo" drive I get: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/Echo [05:41] oh ;( [05:42] chd: /dev/sdb1 /media/Echo ext3 defaults,user 0 0 [05:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/410400/ [05:42] aw thank you [05:42] phatwabbit, did you read what I said? [05:43] what are the main differences between 9.10 and 9.10 netbook remix? [05:43] chelz: was a new 9.10 bug. there's a big thing in launchpad about it - some sort of ati packaging bug. [05:43] DarkVoid82: it's actually Ubuntu Netbook Edition now [05:43] maginot: did read...the funny thing is that this port is able to mount mmc cards without problem [05:44] chelz: oh ok it still says netbook remix on the ubuntu website [05:44] phatwabbit, lets do something to guarantee everything is working, open a console and type "udevadm monitor" this will monitor anything that you plug, after running the command plug the memory sticky, see if you receive any output [05:44] DarkVoid82: netbook remix just comes optimized for low resolutions and has some special menu, but basically, they are not very different [05:44] DarkVoid82: ah, that needs updating. well it contains stuff regular ubuntu doesn't and is i guess optimized for netbooks, probably bootup stuff. here are some tools only it has: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Netbook_Edition#Component_packages [05:45] maginot: too much info on udevadm [05:45] anything specific you want me to grep for [05:46] phatwabbit, just want to know if anything is output after you plug the device [05:46] chelz: ok cool, i'm thinking of replaceing regular 9.10 with 9.10 netbook, but I have a notebook with a dvdrom drive so maybe thats not a good idea? i'm still having trouble with my dvdrom drive on regular 9.10 anyways [05:46] phatwabbit, a good thing to grep for is for the word "block" [05:47] phatwabbit, you may have something like /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-2/1-2.4/1-2.4:1.0/host8/target8:0:0/8:0:0:0/block/sdc (block) [05:48] DarkVoid82: you can always install them alongside eachother to try it out [05:48] Canon Pixma MP190 worked with MP180 drivers, but I cant seem to get it working now anyone have any ideas? === Nielson is now known as Nielson_ === Nielson_ is now known as 94SAACG17 [05:48] chelz: and that would be a tri-boot, cause i still run vista for college === 94SAACG17 is now known as Nielson_ === Nielson_ is now known as 94SAACG17 [05:49] phatwabbit, you can pastebin the output if make it easier to you [05:49] maginot: thanks for all the assistance! http://paste.ubuntu.com/410407/ [05:49] anyone here [05:49] can run, windows apps in ubuntu? [05:50] no [05:50] onlly with wine? [05:50] *only [05:50] jak2000: wine is your answer [05:50] DarkVoid82: if your cpu supports vm extensions you could try running your vista in a vm like virtualbox. if it works out you could migrate it to a virtualdisk and have ubuntu's partition expand to take up the space vista had. [05:50] just give up on windows apps [05:50] phatwabbit, if you don't mind, post the full output from udevmonitor... with the output you gave it is recognizing the disk, but can't see any partition on it [05:50] jak2000: it's best to use programs that work both on windows and linux if you plan to move between the platforms, such as firefox and openoffice [05:51] chelz: hmmm what is a vm extension? [05:51] chelz php and mysql ? [05:51] DarkVoid82: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_VT#Hardware_support [05:51] jak2000: those are both available on linux as part of the famous LAMP stack [05:52] !lamp | jak2000 [05:52] jak2000: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:52] i have apps developed with delphi and VB === s4h is now known as s4h|off [05:52] for windows [05:52] chelz: hmm from the looks of that, my notebook has it, I obught it last year [05:53] jak2000: if your VB stuff runs in Mono you can run it in Mono on linux [05:53] DarkVoid82: sounds good. might be something to try then. [05:53] no mono [05:53] only with win32 [05:53] dll [05:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/410412/ [05:54] phatwabbit, this was showed after plugging the device, right? [05:54] chelz: i'll look into it... in the meantime my long running issue with my daggone dvdrom drive in regular 9.10 [05:54] DarkVoid82: this might help http://blarts.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/how-to-run-virtualbox-using-a-physical-partition-using-ubuntu-feisty-fawn/ [05:54] I get this error now: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [05:54] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [05:54] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [05:54] dmesg | tail or so [05:54] chd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] shit sorry [05:54] also if it works DarkVoid82, this http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows [05:54] DarkVoid82: what sort of issues do you experience? [05:55] chelz: when i put a disc in the drive it desont read [05:55] phatwabbit, ? [05:55] DarkVoid82: does it work with vista? [05:55] yeah [05:56] DarkVoid82: what brand and model number? [05:56] of your laptop [05:56] chelz: yeah, i used a live dvd to install 9.10 for dual boot [05:56] yes maginot [05:56] sorry....too much info..lost you in the maze :) [05:57] chelz: i can read data, music and dvd in vista but nothing in 9.10 [05:57] Hey can i install ubuntu on an usb so that every time i boot it keeps my install software and settings. is that called persistent mode? [05:57] phatwabbit, okay, do you have tested the device on other computer? (not just the memory sticky but the memory sticky reader too) [05:57] anyone here successfully running Itunes on 9.10? if so please help [05:57] DarkVoid82: what is the brand and model number of your laptop? [05:58] Kutemclose, itunes? [05:58] chelz: acer aspire 5810T [05:58] Kutemclose: using itunes on an officially unsupported platform will always be pretty unstable. you really should find alternative programs that do what you want [05:58] ciao [05:58] maginot, yes [05:58] Kutemclose, mine is fine [05:58] Kutemclose, the only way i know running itunes is with wine [05:58] hey, I have lost something in the middle here... itunes on linux, native? [05:59] FyshY, you're running it? [05:59] oh, with Wine... =X [05:59] Kutemclose, on win i wouldn't even think of trying on linux distro [06:00] hiexpo, are you running it? [06:00] i would never try itunes if i had a option to do it even [06:00] * FyshY wonders if i install ubuntu on an usb so that every time i boot it keeps my install software and settings. is that called persistent mode? [06:00] anyone experiencing really crappy playback of Flash content on a nvidia Geforce 7600 gs? any ideas? [06:00] phatwabbit, are you there? [06:00] DarkVoid82: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireTimeline [06:01] DarkVoid82: https://launchpad.net/~acertimeline [06:01] Kutemclose, no but i heard of it because i was trying to get my ipod synced but found another way [06:01] hiexpo, so what program are you using to manage your Ipod? [06:01] Kutemclose, you need help with that i have dir ?

[06:02] Kutemclose, i think its gtkipod [06:02] 8-) [06:02] gtkpod iirc [06:03] chelz: i got the dvdrom to read one disc a few weeks ago but haven't been able to dulpicate it, ok thanks i'll look into it [06:03] hiexpo, I will check it out. Does it work like Itunes? [06:03] Kutemclose, not really; what version of iPod and which generation [06:03] hiexpo, I don't like amarok much. I find it hard to manage my music with the new version [06:04] how do i add rizon to xchat favorites???? [06:04] chelz: ubuntu runs great on my acer laptop... except for the dvdrom drive...

[06:06] DarkVoid82: you could try booting to usb and seeing if the issue occurs in the liveinstall [06:06] the transfer through the card would have been faster though :) [06:06] Dougdoug4: on the place where video should be [06:06] Dougdoug4: or just the chat box [06:06] chelz: o.O say again? [06:06] chelz, I can't?

I don't know of any others [06:08] chelz: is that the one that comes with 9.10 netbook ed? [06:09] phatwabbit, well, if it is working on windows like any other removible device it should work on linux too... but maybe it requires a deeper look [06:09] i hate itunes [06:09] DarkVoid82: hmm i don't think so. but if that ubuntu edition lets you get to a terminal then i guess it could work [06:10] Dougdoug4: you can use this: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html [06:10] hiexpo, thanks dude [06:11] chelz: i saw something on the live cd i made for the netbook edition [06:11] Kutemclose, no prob [06:11] DarkVoid82, would you repeat your question for me? === ogen is now known as tripelb [06:13] chelz: sorry i think i saw something on the live cd i made for netbook ed that had usb in the title... yeah there is a usb creator on the disc [06:13] chelz: just need an empty usb... what size do i need === basix__ is now known as basix [06:14] DarkVoid82: i think at least 2GB but i'm not sure [06:14] chelz [06:14] you got that window to go away [06:15] but now a new issue has arisen [06:15] any one know how to install GDL?

THink it may be 3rd generation [06:25] chelz: doesn't work; seems the directory itself is borked; can't ls it, cat it, rm it [06:25] any ideas why Flash is so slow in 9.10? xorg not configured correctly or something? [06:25] ciao amici, [06:25] Kutemclose, tried banshee? rhythmbox? which others [06:25] it's unmounted, by the way [06:25] axplayer, which video card you have?

[06:26] ooh that doesn't look good [06:26] I have an nvidia Geforce 7600gs with the nvidia drivers [06:26] Kutemclose, if it sees your iPod, sure [06:26] its as if everything worked fine, except stupid flash :P [06:26] tripelb: you could install google chromium or chrome. using chromium's / chrome's internal task manager you can kill flash yourself and let the rest of chrome / chromium keep running. i use firefox for browsing and chromium / chrome for flash. [06:27] axplayer, should be working fine [06:27] I fixed this by editing xorg.conf on a laptop, the fix talked about ATI cards though, its pretty much the same problem, but with Nvidia :P [06:27] axplayer: using nvidia-settings cards seems to work fine in my experience [06:28] http://pastebin.com/Gt69vWeC === s4h|off is now known as mtsh [06:28] edit [06:28] So I upgraded to Karmic... now all my videos don't play anymore... [06:29] hmmm... all programs and everything else works great with the video card, its just flash as if there was a missconfiguration some where :P [06:29] Geekthras: a proust fan eh, not sure if there's any redemption for your kind. you might try: sudo rmdir c [06:29] Geekthras, well, looks like a fuse problem... do you updated your system, maybe the kernel, recently ? [06:29] Anybody know how to fix this issue where the Karmic upgrade hoses the ability to play videos? [06:29] chelz: proust? wha? [06:30] Geekthras: orgiophantes? [06:30] I only know it as a greek word that I transliterated into english [06:30] loquitus, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:30] om26er: already newest version [06:30] chelz : http://pastebin.com/8x5YGUh0 [06:30] found it in a big lexicon, along with rhobikos (unable to pronounce the letter rho) and rhathapugizo (to smack on the buttocks) [06:31] Geekthras, did you tried using fsck on that disk? [06:31] loquitus, sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras ;sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:31] how do I check if a package is installed with the apt-get command? [06:31] axplayer, apt-cache policy pkgname [06:31] thank you [06:32] nishanth: LUCID [06:32] !lucid | nishanth [06:32] nishanth: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [06:32] chelz: yes [06:32] nishanth: lucid support is in #ubuntu+1 [06:32] nishanth: /join #ubuntu+1 [06:32] in order: rmdir c said it was busy, haven't updated it since beforethe last time I successfully mounted, and do you mean fsck /mnt/c or /dev/sda1? [06:33] om26er: thanks. that now lets it play. but why are the colors messed up? there is some crazy blue hue on things [06:33] Geekthras: fusermount -z /mnt/c [06:33] Geekthras: something scary happened on your system though and i think you might need to reboot if this stuff doesn't work [06:34] loquitus, some setting might be messed up [06:34] Geekthras, if /mnt is inside /dev/sda1 them fsck /dev/sda1 [06:34] om26er: it was not doing this before and I know my monitors are fine... all players are showing the same crazy hue [06:34] loquitus: you need to go to preferences and try clicking set defaults. if that doesn't work mess with the hue. it's a known issue. [06:34] chelz: the crazy blue issue is a known issue? [06:34] loquitus, try reboot? [06:34] loquitus: in videos yeah === mtsh is now known as s4h|off [06:34] chelz: ick [06:35] chelz: preferences in what? [06:35] loquitus: Movie Player aka totem should do [06:35] chelz, I have used chrome. Tell me how can I kill flash in chrome? (I've asked here but no one knew.) === s4h|off is now known as s4h [06:36] tripelb: go to the page-looking menu. then go to the bottom where it says Developer and click Task Manager. also shift-escape will bring it up. [06:36] found a lot of differences between boot sector and backup [06:37] in fact, almost every offset from 71 to 507 is different [06:38] Geekthras, you certainly have a problem on the partition, the ??? looks like a problem with the inodes... [06:38] Problem installing gnash from getgnash.org on ubuntu, I have /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnash.list with "deb http://www.getgnash.org/debs/ubuntu karmic main" this is what I get with aptitude update: http://pastebin.com/uySgvwe6 (w/ grep gnash) but this is what apt-cache policy shows me: http://pastebin.com/viVdPgbs ... so something is going wrong... === s4h is now known as s4h|off [06:39] well *now* I'm slightly nervous about rebooting [06:39] chelz, ok I'm there. [06:39] Geekthras, yeah, I know what you mean ... [06:39] tripelb: select flash in the list and hit end or w/e [06:40] Hey guys. I have a ubuntu 9.1 server and I was wondering if I can get xserv running for purposes of a vnc connection if i have no grahpics card [06:40] Geekthras, the worse thing that could happen is not to boot ;D [06:40] Geekthras: but you have backups right, so doesn't matter if anything happens to this drive [06:41] * Geekthras looks shiftily from side to side [06:41] chelz, ok I'm there. I ended the process. I closed chrome. I started it, went to TM, it's back. Cool. this is control. PS what's w/e? [06:42] * maginot is searching for an simple console wav player... [06:42] Hello everyone. [06:42] JamesSavko: vnc requires a graphics card on the server machine. but you might be able to get away with not having one by using freenx or ssh x forwarding. i'm not entirely sure though [06:42] maginot: mplayer? cvlc? [06:42] maginot: mpg123 [06:42] theadmin, I was thinking about something a little smaller... like mpg123 [06:42] jinx [06:43] chelz, I was in doubt that mpg123 was able to play wav files [06:43] chelz: I have full ssh root access, but was hoping to find a way to connect to a gui. I will check out freenx and ssh x forwarding. Any other suggestions?

[07:22] Not LVM but should do [07:22] apepe: yesno,, you got to resize the win--partition [07:23] actually there is an available non partitioned space on the HD, can I use LVM on that without affecting the windows partition? [07:23] apepe: but in the free space can then have an extended partition with lot's of logical ones inside [07:24] does any one know how to run a program that keeps giving the msg the cd-rom not detected...i actually dont have a cd-rom for this instead i installed it using iso image [07:25] so that means I can mix LVM and standard partitions? example 320Gb of HD, 100Gb is used by windows, remaining is an LVM in which I will make logical partitions [07:25] nishanth: you run a prog that needs the installer cd ?

[07:28] !anyone [07:28] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:31] So I've been trying to run a live CD of UNR on my eeepc 1000H but each time it just says 'can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow' [07:31] I've verified the disk and it says it's ok [07:31] I really don't even know where to start with a problem like this [07:31] !iso | fireace [07:31] fireace: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [07:32] I'm actually running it off a USB drive [07:32] I should of mentioned that [07:32] same [07:32] fireace: and of course got to create the mountpoint first [07:33] I'm in the process of installing UNR, and I'm wondering if putting /boot on my (faster) SSD would improve boot times? [07:35] xTheGoat121x, put the whole system on the SSD ? :) [07:35] ^^ [07:35] xTheGoat121x: i think it only has to load a max of 8-10 MiB so it probably hardly would be noticeable [07:35] i mean i personally only have a 12GB root filesystem [07:35] xTheGoat121x: yes, would , but also need the libs and other stuff, better put whole but /homme on it [07:36] I think I'm getting conflicting information on the NDISwrapper wifi docs page. If I've got the windows driver for my internet stick do I install it using Wine, or do I install it using NDISgtk? [07:36] i'm lying it's actually 15gb :-D [07:36] smerz, the problem is it's an older netbook (an EEEPC 701) so the SSD only has 2gb [07:36] hey [07:36] how can i see version of package and related package [07:37] DasEi, see my previous comment [07:37] xTheGoat121x: more a candidat for swap [07:37] I think I'm getting conflicting information on the NDISwrapper wifi docs page. If I've got the windows driver for my internet stick do I install it using Wine, or do I install it using NDISgtk? [07:37] tbh what is the read performance of tha 2GB SSD? The old SSD are not thaaat superb compared to todays disks [07:38] compared to todays normal disk drives i mean [07:38] hi [07:38] cant see volume icon [07:38] hey people, anyone out there able to direct a complete novice in getting started with mysql [07:38] ? [07:38] pawan, which ubuntu version are you running? Lucid alpha3 by any chance? [07:38] pawan : right click upper panel > add > choose it [07:38] !lamp | jud [07:39] jud: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:39] waiting for sound system to respond [07:39] 9.10 [07:39] pawan, hm 9.10 should have it sitting at the top right by default [07:39] smerz, I've been booting the thing off of an SDHC card for a while now, but just added a flash drive as an "internal" so I can regain my SD slot [07:39] cheers! [07:39] jud: You might want to check Jimmyr's youtube channel. He's got video tutorials on that kind of thing [07:39] I was just looking for a way to perhaps improve things [07:40] jud: also, I think his website is www.jimmyr.com [07:40] i am not having it [07:40] thanks guys! [07:40] jud: There also might be something about mysql on a webhosing unleashed post that has over 100 links to open courseware in the IT field. There's some of it that's from MIT as well. [07:40] how to add it [07:40] I think I'm getting conflicting information on the NDISwrapper wifi docs page. If I've got the windows driver for my internet stick do I install it using Wine, or do I install it using NDISgtk? [07:40] xTheGoat121x, I would not be surprised if a current 2,5 inch harddisk has comparable read performance compared to the 2gb SDD (which i presume to be really old OR really small) [07:41] has anyone managed to install lucid beta 1 using hd-image installer? [07:41] W43372, oeh installing drivers using wine is no good. As for the rest i dont know [07:41] !anyone > johndee [07:41] johndee, please see my private message [07:41] smerz, really small -- it's part of a first generation netbook [07:42] smerz: The wifi docs on NDISwrapper said that I should install it using Wine, and then it says ot install them using NDISgtk [07:42] W43372, do the windows drivers come as an .exe file or a zip file ? [07:42] smerz: of course I could be wrong and the NDIS sourceforge page said to use Wine... [07:42] W43372, ok I'll shut up then. This stuff is out of my league :) [07:42] jud: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/mysql.html [07:42] airtonix: The driver that I already have is an .exe. I just need to know if I install it using Wine or NDISgtk... [07:43] W43372, what type of wireless card is it? [07:43] xTheGoat121x, but I'm puzzeled. The 2GB SSD is not the only storage in your system right? Putting /boot there will not do much to boot time. As someone else said the SSD is probably a good candidate for the swap partition [07:43] W43372, more often than not its just a self-extracting archive that cant be opened with an archive manager, so yet you run the exe with wine and hopefully you end up with it asking where you want to unpack it [07:44] xTheGoat121x: it's a NETGEAR WPN111. I've got the driver for it already, I just need to know if I should use Wine or NDISgtk. [07:44] W43372, after that, you should have a folder with a bunch of files...hopefully there is the driver information file there (.inf) [07:44] W43372, once you have that, use ndisgtk on that folder [07:44] well then..wth is wrong with hd-media installer. it only finds iso image from the second try and then says it can't copy some files from the cd. any known fix? [07:44] who do I message for troubleshooting? [07:44] Thanks. I'll use Wine and keep my fingers crossed and hope that all of this works. [07:44] airtonix: thank you :) [07:45] !ask | CharlieBoomBoom [07:45] CharlieBoomBoom: 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. :-) [07:45] pawan : sudo apt-get install asmix [07:45] johndee, the idea is that you be descriptive in your situation [07:45] pawan: I just searched it, it's a try [07:46] !ask alright so i can run ubuntu on my virtual machine but when i start up my computer and try to either install or run without changin anything it freezes and stays on the screen [07:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:46] CharlieBoomBoom, which screen ? [07:46] CharlieBoomBoom: that probably is an issue to take up with the provider of your virtual machine software. [07:47] chelz, read the question again [07:47] !md5 | CharlieBoomBoom [07:47] CharlieBoomBoom: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === s4h|off is now known as s4h [07:47] Grah, I was dropped off [07:48] airtonix: i believe i am. the installer is copied to usb along with iso image. after finding the image it says it can't copy several files even though md5 matches [07:48] of the iso [07:49] johndee: I havent followed the whole, you want a usb-installer done from the iso ? [07:49] DasEi: no. i'm trying to use hd-media installer from usb flash and it fails [07:49] !lucid | johndee [07:49] where are the ubuntu themes located? [07:49] johndee: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [07:50] DasEi, hd-media? is this a valid program for linux [07:50] airtonix: sry, haven't seen you talking... [07:50] airtonix sorry back to your question i was registering, on the first start up screen [07:50] johndee, you're better off asking in #ubuntu+1 about lucid questions [07:51] maginot: johnd.. wants to install from usb to hd , as it seems [07:51] airtonix: i'll try tnx [07:51] before any installation, right after choosing my languange. [07:51] DasEi: that's right [07:51] CharlieBoomBoom, is it a laptop or desktop ? [07:51] laptop [07:51] johndee: does the live of the usb boot ? [07:51] CharlieBoomBoom, ok first thing i usually try on laptops is to turn off a few boot parameters. [07:52] alright, how do I do this lol :) [07:52] now I got it... [07:52] CharlieBoomBoom, at the screen you have where you are asked to choose what to do (boot, install, check disc, etc, etc) press f6 [07:52] purple is because of the purple irc client.. [07:52] =) [07:52] =) [07:52] alright and than what? [07:52] DasEi: syslinux boots and the installer starts. there's no livecd mode [07:54] johndee: I use unetbootin for such, it seldom failed me, concerning live it depends which distrotype (alternate,desk,server) you took then [07:54] CharlieBoomBoom, you see a menu now ? [07:54] CharlieBoomBoom, should look like this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=menuf6.1.png [07:54] idk cause this is my only comp right now [07:54] alright thank you [07:54] DasEi, please take this to #ubuntu+1 [07:54] btw a question: why do Ubuntu people never change major FF version before their next release (i.e. Karmic has 3.5 and that's it) [07:54] CharlieBoomBoom, what i turn off is : noapic nolapic [07:54] johndee: talk on in #ubuntu+1 ? [07:55] alright and you think that will work? [07:55] has yours ever frozen from trying to run it? [07:55] DasEi: yes:) [07:55] CharlieBoomBoom, try that, select those two i mentioned so that they have a cross on the left of them \ [07:55] alright i will right now [07:55] back in a few ^^ [07:55] how can i disable trash? [07:56] CharlieBoomBoom, most laptops i've installed ubuntu on have not moved past the stage you mention if i do not turn those two options off [07:56] theadmin: empty or disable ? [07:56] theadmin, define 'disable trash' [07:56] airtonix: DasEi: Make it impossible to move files to trash in any way at all [07:57] theadmin, the trash subsystem is an aspect of Gnome Virtual File System [07:57] theadmin, use gconf-editor [07:57] ah, gvfs... Okay, then it is in gconf. Thanks, maginot && airtonix [07:57] theadmin: change the ownership of trashfolder, but root can always change that back, and a user could just move stuff to another folder [07:57] !trash [07:57] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [07:58] chmod: cannot access `/home/r00t/.local/share/Trash': No such file or directory [07:58] theadmin, /app/nautilus/desktop > trash_icon_visible [07:58] maginot: Not that lol that makes "Trash" appear in ~/Desktop [07:58] What's the best VMWare alternative for Ubuntu (I've been absent from Ubuntu for a few years now) [07:59] jbrouhard: Virtualbox is my fav [07:59] Hmm [07:59] theadmin, you want to permanently disable trash? [07:59] theadmin, how about changing the nautilus options to delete files instead of moving it to the trash ? [07:59] Thanks theadmin [07:59] jbrouhard: best ca become a poll, vbox is an equal [07:59] I'll check in to that one shortly [07:59] airtonix, open nautilus go to Edit/Preferences [07:59] airtonix: It has "Add an option to bypass trash", but no way to remove the "Move to trash" thing [07:59] theadmin, if it is permanently you have to change a polkit rule [07:59] coz_, it was not a request [08:00] airtonix, oh sorry [08:00] theadmin: you just want the icon to disappear ? [08:00] DasEi: I want to make it impossible to move files to trash whereever this is [08:01] theadmin: cd to Trash in trml, sudo chmod -R it [08:01] DasEi: Yes, that's what i'm trying, i can't find the trash folder lol [08:01] theadmin: karmic ? === coco is now known as Guest73201 [08:02] theadmin, hey, take a look at /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/trash and disable it [08:02] DasEi: Yup [08:02] theadmin: cd [08:02] DasEi: huh [08:03] theadmin: cd ~/.local/share/ [08:03] theadmin: ls [08:03] DasEi: applications, desktop-directories, gvfs-metadata, tomboy, vino, vlc [08:03] theadmin: that where 3 cmd's for terminal [08:04] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/545731 [08:05] DasEi: Above is the output of 'ls -m $HOME/.local/share' [08:06] theadmin: (gtg soon) /$USER/home/.. and so on , just use the 3 cmd's [08:06] who can help me [08:06] i am a fresh man [08:06] !details | xiangjun [08:06] xiangjun: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:07] DasEi: Never mind, will do some find craziness again to find it [08:07] hello how can I change the prompt in the bash [08:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/545731 [08:07] It currently prompt the full pwd [08:07] I'd like none or only the last segment of the pwd [08:07] ola [08:07] "_ [08:07] :) [08:07] hi all [08:08] theadmin, do you want to remove the icon, the trash of nautilus or made everything that is deleted to never go to trash? ANy one of them are on gconf-editor [08:08] k tal [08:08] maginot: Okay, so the last one is what i want [08:08] ok [08:08] theadmin, apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete [08:08] look for me [08:09] theadmin, just open gconf-editor and go to apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete [08:09] hi [08:09] maginot: This is active. That enables a "Delete" option in context menu, however, "Move to trash" remains === whiter is now known as token [08:09] theadmin, enable it... [08:09] maginot: It is enabled. === token is now known as token` [08:09] theadmin, after that nothing is gone to trash anymore [08:10] lol [08:11] theadmin, I see what you mean [08:11] nevermind got it, it is the PS1 environment variable [08:11] theadmin, let me see if I can find the right key [08:12] hceylan: wha what the heck is that o_O [08:13] when you fire the console the fixed beginning of the line like in ie: "hceylan@ceylan:~/Projects/Professional/Inomera/Netmera$" [08:13] theadmin: I am coming from fedora and used to seeing like I described above [08:13] hceylan@ceylan part [08:14] maginot: part???? [08:14] PS1="$ " gives a clean prompt for bash [08:15] would be a good idea to add to .bashrc... [08:15] hceylan: for me, $PS1 is like this: "\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$", which looks like a huge set of nonsense [08:15] theadmin: I know for me too... Even less and less useful as you go into deeper in filesystem while using console [08:16] there is a second part, PS2 The value of this parameter is expanded as with PS1 and used as the secondary prompt string. The default is ``> ''. [08:16] I use a two-line prompt and put the path above. Keeps things clean. [08:16] hceylan: how about doing 'export PS1=$(basename $PWD)', would give you the last part of the path as you wanted [08:16] theadmin: I can appreciate to see the username in the prompt, but the pwd is useless [08:16] theadmin: cool [08:17] I have a problem with audio card ,I am running ubuntu version 9.10. The audio card is soundmax. [08:18] help [08:18] i have the drive which is used in windows XP .Can i use wine [08:18] vipin: With what? [08:19] xiangjun: No, this won't work normally with drivers [08:19] audio card [08:19] oh [08:19] holaaaaaaaaaa [08:19] I am new to xchat what are the commands?? [08:19] xiangjun: Please see if your manufacturer provides a Linux driver on their site [08:19] vipin: What commands lol [08:19] XD [08:19] no , [08:19] ubottu: es | portatil [08:19] portatil: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [08:20] thank you [08:21] theadmin: I decided to go with PS1="$ " [08:21] theadmin: muuuuuch cleaner, and saves space [08:21] Is there any action i can do to make my audio card work? [08:21] theadmin, hey, I think this is what you want: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/06/28/how-do-you-disable-the-ctrl-t-move-to-trash-shortcut-in-gnome-nautilus/ I would try here, but have made some changes to my nautilus and so I can't test it [08:21] I have a problem with TweetDeck it does not work properlyin Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic [08:21] hceylan: As you want.... but that is kinda confusing for me, I leave the default [08:22] theadmin: different solutions works for different uses. For an admin that wanders xxx boxes and uses different users it definitely makes sense to use the default [08:23] theadmin: but for a user like me (develoeper) I am on my laptop all day long [08:23] theadmin: So there is no danger of confision if I have 3 different consoles running [08:23] Hey. Are there any things for Ubuntu that are like the mac dock? [08:23] or similar to windows rocketdock? [08:23] theadmin: so space is more valueable for me... [08:23] Dougdoug4, take a looke at avant-window-navigator [08:24] Dougdoug4: awn, docky... [08:24] Dougdoug4: There's also smothtasks widget for KDE [08:24] Dougdoug4, cairo-dock is other alternative, but I use awn ( avant-window-navigator) [08:24] Dougdoug4: Much like trying to imitate the Win7 task bar [08:24] maginot: This doesn't seem to work anymore [08:24] theadmin, which ? [08:24] maginot: The huge link you posted [08:25] maginot: It has outdated info [08:25] theadmin, I'm on it... [08:25] Dougdoug4: Pinning is not identical to win 7 yet as it requires some changes in KDE base [08:25] theadmin, oh... I can't know, my nautilus isn't like the default [08:26] anybody know...do you have to have some sort of special program on your pc in order to be able to send an image from the web to a cell phone ? I ask because,I found one & I am having problems doing this when I shouldn't be [08:27] What is the nautilus default window size and how do I keep it at that size every time it opens? [08:27] grah. Why the heck does "Places" menu still have "cdrom0" even though the thing is disconnected? :/ [08:28] Man, guys... openbox should be the default DE... it's programmed in awesome. [08:30] mouse_, you could change with gconf-editor the key at: /apps/nautilus/preferences/navigation_window_saved_geometry [08:30] How many buntu's we already have? Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Fluxbuntu, Gobuntu, Goobuntu... [08:30] edubuntu :] [08:30] and that [08:30] theadmin: mythbuntu, ubuntu studio [08:31] And mint. :) [08:31] dallis: Meh, i mean distros which contain "*buntu" [08:31] any one know how to use rarcrack [08:32] dallis: If we'll speak of deviratives... Mint, Freespire, Linspire, YLMF... a huge ton, actually. [08:32] hi [08:32] Hi! I need to identify the current VGA driver and if needed I would like to chng it Pl let me know how I can install and uninstall drivers? [08:32] nishanth, rarcrack is documented [08:33] anyone know if evolution 2.28.3 or higher packages are available for 9.10 karmic? [08:33] crypt-0 : i been trying to open crack a password rar file and could not do it === nycterent is now known as ConstantA === ConstantA is now known as ConsantA === ConsantA is now known as ConstantA [08:35] wtf [08:35] nishanth, if there is sufficient length it could take considerable, impractical time consider using a dictionary instead of brute force [08:36] crypt-0: RarCrack! 0.2 by David Zoltan Kedves (kedazo@gmail.com) Segmentation fault (core dumped) [08:36] this is the msg i get [08:37] does it mean that rarcrack cannot open it [08:37] nishanth: It tries to access a bad memory block. Probably a programming error? [08:37] theadmin; do you know a way to crack a rar file? [08:37] nishanth: No. === dallis is now known as Zerp64 === administrator is now known as Guest77635 [08:39] anyone know how to crack a rar file? [08:39] siema! [08:39] nishanth, You could attack the keyspace but that is far more complex, but more efficient. [08:39] Hello - How do you change the Ubuntu repositories inside Linux Mint software sources to local ones please ? [08:40] nishanth, this isn't the subject for this channel, if you want make this kind of question go to #security and hope you get well interpreted [08:40] nishanth: bruteforce [08:40] ravibn, grep "Driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:40] Newklear: No mint support here, but in ubuntu it's done via the "software sources" [08:40] nishanth, if its a file that yours, and you just forgot the password to chances are it decrypted somewhere and was stored as plaintext (maybe in /tmp) so try a file recovery tool. [08:41] nah i downloaded this file [08:41] ravibn, if you there is no ouput run this and pastebin: "grep -i "Module" /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [08:41] thank you arand, and how would I do that in software sources, I have local capped internet in south africa ? [08:41] nishanth: then ask for the password where you donwloaded the file and remeber, this is ubuntu-support [08:42] ravibn, actually if you pastebin, paste everything: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [08:42] !pastebin [08:42] 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. [08:42] iceroot : unfortunately there isn't any info abt the password on that website [08:42] Newklear: [menu]system>administration>software sources [08:43] maginot: Here it is http://pastebin.com/MRASU9GB [08:43] yes arand I am aware of that, but I am capped local (i.e I cannot browse international), I want to be able to download locally, how can I do that please ? [08:43] Newklear: The "Download from" button [08:43] ravibn, you are using driver "vesa" [08:44] Newklear: You should be able to select one of the many available from there.. [08:44] I have no local option, which I would presume I need to add the local repository path [08:44] ravibn, which is an standard graphics drive that support 1024x768 resolution (maybe more?) [08:44] maginot : how can I change that it to the one supplied by intel ? [08:44] ravibn, editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:45] hey guys... i'm trying to reconfigure my kernel to my customization according to http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu which seems like a good guide. however, i get to the 'make-kpkg clean' portion and i get an error "No rule to make target `ubuntu/aufs/magic.mk'. Stop." any idea why? i'm using 2.6.31-20 [08:45] I cannot google it internationally, that is why I am respectfully asking for help on how to add a local respository link for South Africa here. [08:45] ravibn, look where is vesa and change to intel, if you are going to use any driver supplied by their site so you must follow their instructions [08:46] Newklear: the software sources thing should let you select the za repository, i think? [08:46] maginot: there is no xorg.conf under /etc/X11 [08:46] ravibn, that is the default behavior [08:46] for some reason I don't have a local za repository maco [08:46] Newklear: in your sources.list replace http://archive.ubuntu.com with http://za.archive.ubuntu.com [08:46] Newklear: If you go into "other" in that menu, the za servers should be listed and selectable. [08:47] thank you maco, that was what I was looking for, greatly appreciated [08:47] ravibn, and if you are using vesa then it was configured automatically already [08:47] maginot : Intel supplies some device drivers for this motherboard so I wanted to install that [08:48] Does anyone have an r700-series radeon chipset using the o/s drivers? What kind of mileage do you get out of it, glxgears-style. [08:48] *? [08:48] ravibn, these are linux drivers ? So follow their instructions/installer [08:48] Any idea why update-manager complains that a package manager is working (with a tray icon) when it checks for updates? [08:49] mmmm [08:49] This is ridiculous [08:49] theadmin, maybe some block process, try killall on the update manager [08:50] maginot: No no. There is a daily update check. So, every day, around 10AM over here, it complains about that. It's a bug most certainly, a hilarious one [08:50] It complains on itself, you see. [08:50] Newklear: The problem seems to be that Mint has a very limited selection of mirrors, so all the mint-specific packages won't be available locally. [08:50] Auto updates bother me. How does it do with manually running the manager after you killall? [08:51] * maginot thinks his xchat modification will be very usefull ... [08:51] arrrrg [08:52] Zerp64: To disable auto updating, System - Admininstration - Update manager - Settings. Disable "check for updates" [08:53] theadmin: I know. I was asking how it worked for you. :p [08:53] Zerp64: I didn't killall anything :P But i assume it would start again sometime later [08:54] So is synaptic going to eventually be removed in a later release? [08:54] Zerp64: Huh, why?! [08:56] They might remove it but that is very doubtable as of now [08:57] I have to admit [08:57] i'm liking being back in Ubuntu [08:57] aftter spending the last 3, 4 years in Windows [08:57] theadmin: Have you read the lucid announcements? They're focusing on the simpleton software center, and I recall from somewhere in my muddy memory that "mumble mumble mumble elimination mumble synaptic". [08:57] jbrouhard: glad to hear that. [08:58] The major problem i had was a certain game of course LOL [08:58] Zerp64: Software Center as of now is a Synaptic frontend [08:58] aaaaa.... [08:58] I might as well get back into business with the ubuntu-missouri LOCO that me and a friend created some time ago [08:58] cewek: huh [08:58] theadmin: so my mumbles were wrong... good. I like synaptic. [08:58] after wakeup eth0 disabled - how to enable it again? [08:59] Zerp64: And Synaptic, in hand, is a apt-get frontend :P So USC is a frontend to a frontend [09:00] theadmin: hi [09:00] cewek: Hello. [09:00] theadmin: Seriously? It couldn't be that diluted... [09:00] Zerp64: Read somewhere that synaptic is (or was) an apt-get frontend [09:00] theadmin: erm i think USC uses python-apt as its backend [09:00] theadmin : how do you do.. [09:00] maco: Oh?... Hm. [09:01] That makes more sense. [09:01] cewek: That is offtopic here, for chatting please join #ubuntu-offtopic [09:01] Hard to imagine Ubuntu devs routing a frontend through a frontend. [09:01] theadmin: i can grab the source and check [09:01] It isn't microsoft. [09:01] maco: If you wanna... [09:02] Zerp64: the whole Windows is a huge frontend to some mystery to me :P [09:02] theadmin: yes, its using python-apt, just like update-manager [09:03] theadmin: theyre written by the same guy, so this seemed likely ;-) [09:03] maco: However, if i run update-manager dude and then attempt to run Synaptic it states "Another Synaptic is running in non-interactive mode, please wait for it to finish first" [09:03] how can i reserve a device name for my USB device so that it's always got the same /dev/devicenamehere? [09:03] theadmin: the old add/remove used synaptic, but thats because it was just synaptic's "simplified" view [09:03] theadmin: no two apt-anythings can run at once [09:04] maco: That I know. [09:04] theadmin: so file a bug that the error message is inaccurate :P [09:04] I've always wondered why that is... why you can't run two pkg managers at once. === WizardOfOz is now known as MouseCooking [09:05] maco: By the way that and that packages must always install to a specific place was my hugest confusion with Linux [09:05] hey everyone... [09:06] theadmin: looking at synaptic's source, it appears to be that they just both use the same directory for their lock [09:06] So I've got a laptop (not the computer I am on) that's wireless connection went down the other day... [09:06] I got some kind of error - I should have written it down but I totally goofed and didn't write it down...Methinks it began with the letters soc? or even socc? [09:06] hello,everyone [09:06] but I could be way off [09:07] maginot : lspci listed the driver it is currently using [09:07] theadmin: also i'm sitting here "wow"ing at synaptic being written in c++ not c [09:07] luck ,are you woman? [09:07] magicstuff, no, lspci showed your hardware [09:07] no [09:07] op [09:07] maco: Well, Synapic is not the kernel [09:07] what maginot? [09:07] ravibn, , no, lspci showed your hardware [09:07] magicstuff, sorry, typo [09:07] what ary you? [09:07] theadmin: but you don't often see gtk with c++ [09:07] ah ok [09:07] When I open network connection I don't even see wlan0 [09:08] maco: I don't often dig in source codes either [09:08] kitty_swjtu: thats a rather off topic question [09:08] what are you?not what ary you [09:08] chinese? [09:08] maginot : it is not the driver currently it is using huh! [09:08] Quick, throw an AOL cd with 50 free hours at kitty_swjtu! [09:08] chinese [09:08] luck: /join #ubuntu-cn [09:08] theadmin: fair enough. gtk tends to be c and qt tends to be c++. or python as an option for both... [09:08] do you have chinese? [09:09] magicstuff, pastebin (not paste) your lspci -nnk output [09:09] ravibn, no, its is not. You can get even more information with lspci -vvv && lsusb, etc [09:09] ubottu: cn | luck [09:09] luck: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:09] i am chinese [09:09] hi [09:09] Hi [09:09] really [09:09] hmm trying to think how I can paste it...no connection on the bad pc [09:09] really [09:09] 你哪里的？ [09:09] zhuhai [09:10] got problem with setting up proper modline for my LCD screeny, could any one help?

[09:10] nope [09:10] trying to find a flash drive [09:10] after wakeup eth0 disabled - how to enable it again? [09:10] how do I make menus in gnome's Main menu split to several columns, instead of scrolling, when there are a lot programs to list? [09:11] wtf. I closed VLC but it's still looping the song i played in it. o_O killall vlc returns that there is no such process [09:11] kitty_swjtu: stay on topic, please [09:11] theadmin: sound buffer issue? [09:11] what? [09:11] maco: Possible, how to stop it. [09:11] s/./? [09:11] theadmin: could unload/reload the sound driver with "sudo alsa force-reload" [09:12] maginot : just give me idea to uninstall this and reinstall the driver supplied by intel [09:12] magicstuff, what network/ethernet controllers do you have on the bad computer? [09:12] maco: This worked, thanks. This was a huge o_O [09:12] ubottu, op | kitty_swjtu [09:12] kitty_swjtu: Help! Channel emergency!

Does the alsa driver run as root? That is very weird [09:17] theadmin: hello :) [09:17] Hidden folders sort after normal folders in nautilus. But hidden folders sort before normal folders in Open File dialogs. Can this be changed? [09:17] theadmin: no, there's a alsa control script in /sbin/ [09:17] geekphreak: Hi there [09:18] maco: Oh. [09:18] theadmin: the force-reload kills apps using sound drivers, modprobe -r's the sound drivers, and then modprobes them again [09:19] 有中文聊天室吗？ [09:19] !cn | luck [09:19] luck: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:19] I want to know ,why my v3.9_kdevelop could not building [09:20] qq_, could be missing dependencies [09:20] psycho_oreos: I can't pastebin the whole thing... [09:20] rather I can type here what the network controller thing says [09:21] ? [09:21] ok, so i did a sudo mv (filename) /(directory) now the file dissapeared [09:21] magicstuff, hm ok [09:21] now can i find my file? [09:21] alejandro: you moved it to be inside /directory, so look there [09:21] qq_, if kdevelop cannot be built, its probably missing deps or the software you created are missing deps === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:22] how can i access this? [09:22] you're accessing it now [09:22] alejandro, probably a faster way is to hi the Up key on the keyboard when there's no other commands (preferrably) being entered, this will tell you what commands you executed last [09:22] How to make Main menu submenus split to multiple columns, instead of scrolling, when it doesn't fit the screen height? [09:22] network controller [0280]: intel corp pro/wireless 3945abg [golan] network connection [8086:4222] (rev 02) kernver driver in use: iwl3945 kernel modules: iwl3945 [09:23] luck, /join one_of_those_channels listed starting with # [09:23] thank you , [09:23] i will try [09:23] luck: type /join #ubuntu-cn [09:23] how ? [09:23] luck: with your keyboard [09:23] magicstuff, so there should be interface wlan0 [09:23] what the heck does "!!" command do? It doesn't even seem to have a manpage [09:23] ok [09:23] maco, first i accessed the directory where i wanted to create my file [09:23] luck, "/join #ubuntu-cn" (without quotes) [09:24] i did sudo mkdir [09:24] theadmin: its a macro that means "the last command" [09:24] doesn't show a wlan() [09:24] maco: Oh. [09:24] theadmin: it should be in "man bash" i think [09:24] maco, when i look there is a lock on it, does that mean i need to set permission to the folder to view the files? [09:24] magicstuff, not in iwconfig? [09:24] thank you [09:24] yes it does in that [09:24] yes [09:25] magicstuff, so if its listed in there, it means that there is already wlan0 interface [09:25] ok [09:25] Confused on how its not showing in network connections... [09:25] like when you select a network (eth/wlan/etc) [09:25] alejandro: i dont know. i dont know how the graphical thing displays permissions. what if you do "sudo ls /directory "? [09:26] Anyone know of an app that can assist in splitting long videos into chunks that can be uploaded to video sites with vidio length restrictions? [09:26] theadmin: from "man bash": !! Refer to the previous command. This is a synonym for `!-1'. [09:26] magicstuff, right click on it and see if Enable wireless box is checked [09:26] maco, i see what i did, i created the new folder in my filesystem [09:26] maco, in wrong directory [09:26] maco: Hm, so "!-3" would reffer to a command that was launched 3 commands ago? [09:26] psycho_oreos: nope [09:26] theadmin: yep [09:26] magicstuff, meaning it isn't checked? if not then check it [09:27] no its not listed [09:27] no option for that [09:27] theadmin: you can just type history to get number :) [09:27] then !number [09:27] geekphreak: yeah but if you know "2nd to last thing i did" then "!-2" is faster [09:27] geekphreak: Yeah, history is a command which returns huge output :D No idea how to clear it even [09:27] I'm using the network monitor that you can get from "add to panel" [09:27] maco sure is :) [09:28] magicstuff, use networkmanager [09:28] theadmin: clear command ;) [09:28] where is the location of main menu config files? [09:28] theadmin: you can clear the terminal by typing "clear" ... you could also send history to a pager so it doesnt hog the screen when its done using "history | less" [09:28] how do I get networkmanager? [09:29] maco: No, i want to erase the history, how would i go about that? It currently has around 2000 lines and scrolling trough that is a pain [09:29] !networkmanager | magicstuff [09:29] magicstuff: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [09:30] theadmin: history -c [09:30] maco: ty [09:30] psycho_oreos: checked add/remove and I have it [09:31] magicstuff, so I think you need to add nm-applet [09:31] maco: also, "clear" doesn't actually "clear" the terminal, it just outputs a ton of empty lines. What actually would "clear" it is "reset" [09:31] theadmin: well it looks clear... :P [09:31] KVM is better than vBox or VMware? [09:31] theadmin: however much area is visible gets cleared [09:31] psycho_oreos: how do I do that? [09:32] magicstuff, much like you add new items to the panel, you just look for network manager or nm, etc [09:32] when I try to find it in the panel thing, its not there..the only thing is network monitor [09:32] I have a compaq presario laptop which has a weird way for using F* keys. It needs Fn key to be held for the standard function keys while not needing it for the special functionalities. Is there a way to swap this behavior. [09:32] I'd like not having to hold the Fn key everytime I want to close a window, for example [09:33] magicstuff, try running nm-applet [09:34] Hm, i think if something could "hold" the Fn key for you until you "hold" it manually, chandru_in... But no idea what does so [09:34] hmm [09:34] How to disable/enable Drivers - like in Windows? [09:34] khunter619: modprobe [09:35] KVM is better than vBox or VMware? [09:35] psycho_oreos: applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): could not acquire the networkmanagerusersettings service as it is already taken. return: 3 [09:35] btw fn+f1 (the "Suspend" key) does not work, neither does fn+f7 (switch display on/off) [09:35] then [09:35] hi ppl [09:35] IanBaliadJr: Depends on your prefference, but the box is my favorite [09:35] tommy^m: I have to go to Terminal and then modprobe? [09:35] khunter619: yes, as root [09:35] theadmin: Do you perchance know any applet/app which can do that? [09:35] psycho_oreos: glib-gobject-critical **:g_object_unref: assertion 'g_is_object(failed)' failed [09:36] khunter619: command lsmod will show you all the modules that are loaded === MouseCooking is now known as MouseEating [09:36] chandru_in: Told you, i don't. Also, this behaviour is very strange. Does it behave the same way on other systems? Cause mehaz a feeling it's some kinda keyboard driver/layout bug [09:36] modprobe MODULENAME to load a module [09:36] modprobe -r MODULENAME to unload [09:36] magicstuff, hmm try running nm [09:36] tommy^m: thank you [09:37] khunter619: np [09:37] no theadmin it is the same on all compaq presario CQ62 systems [09:37] theadmin: thx [09:37] chandru_in: Well, that's just stupid [09:37] psycho_oreos: nm: 'a.out': no such file [09:37] Hi, out of interest .. is my sendmail compromised? Am getting loads of activity and quite a few sendmail MTA's running. e.g. "sendmail: MTA: ./o36CBIn3009441 online.unaerp.br.: user open" [09:37] I hardly use sendmail, so will probably just remove it. [09:38] elyob: it could be other apps using it too [09:38] logs do looks wierd though , thats a .br domain [09:38] i would lock it host file [09:38] create rules [09:40] backlight issue === comp3 is now known as ani [09:40] geekphreak: could you explain a little more? I've removed squid and sendmail for now. Was just playing about, but could be issues, and was on a blacklist for open relays :) [09:40] magicstuff, which version of ubuntu is this? [09:41] psycho_oreos: ok now I got some of the icons back that I didn't have...googled the above error..and it said something about add to panel-notification area... [09:41] so now I can see the original wireless thing...enable networking is checked...enable wireless is not checked and can't be checked [09:41] elyob: can i pm as it aint a ubuntu issue ? [09:42] geekphreak: yes please. [09:42] backlight control not working how to fix this? [09:42] magicstuff, which version of ubuntu [09:42] 8.04 I think? [09:43] magicstuff: to make sure, do "lsb_release -r" in terminal [09:43] whats the term command to find the version? [09:43] magicstuff, do lsb_release -c [09:43] magicstuff: version of what? [09:43] greetings [09:43] geekphreak: sorry, one sec .. never PM'd before ... "You must log in with services to message this user" [09:43] geekphreak: ubuntu [09:43] tommy^m: command lsmod will show all modules that are loaded. I have a internal Wifi chip - Atheros AR2427. Since Ubuntu did not show list of wifi networks available, I assumed Ubuntu doesn't have driver by default? I am trying to see if that is true by enabling it; incase it made a mistake and did not enable it; you know sometimes we unplug and replug a USB Wifi dongle for OS to recognize if OS started with it connected. So I [09:44] theadmin and psycho_oreos: which command should I use [09:44] - r or - c? [09:44] elyob: Please do "/msg nickserv help register" [09:44] anyone knows the backlight control? [09:44] what is the package contains "Lucida TypeWriter" font? [09:44] elyob: yes it is a security thing elyob , only reg. peoople can pm me , 1 sec [09:44] magicstuff: -r prints smth like "Release: 9.10", -c prints "Codename: Karmic" or similar [09:44] magicstuff, whichever one, doesn't matter [09:44] intrepid [09:44] so 8.10 [09:44] try now [09:45] my laptop screen is very dim. [09:45] magicstuff, probably a good idea to try jaunty jackalope [09:45] no use of the backlight control how to fix this fucking problem? [09:45] under the network manager its showing wireless is disabled [09:46] psycho_oreos: is he talking bout uname commnand? [09:46] hotxboy1S: if you are using KDE, click on the battery image on the notification panel [09:46] geekphreak, no I wanted to know which version of ubuntu he has because he has issues getting wireless to work [09:47] hotxboy1S: Check out System - Preferences - Power Management [09:47] hceylan: I`m on Gnome. [09:47] command lsmod will show all modules that are loaded. I have a internal Wifi chip - Atheros AR2427. Since Ubuntu did not show list of wifi networks available, I assumed Ubuntu doesn't have driver by default? I am trying to see if that is true by enabling it; incase it made a mistake and did not enable it; you know sometimes we unplug and replug a USB Wifi dongle for OS to recognize if OS started with it connected. So I am assumi [09:47] magicstuff, chances are, there's an issue with the driver/microcode.. and it'll be a daunting job for you to not be able to copy paste complete dmesg output :p [09:48] psycho_oreos: ok :) [09:48] psycho_oreos: I'm charging my camera up to use the chip to pastebin stuff [09:48] arg [09:48] theadmin: tried that failed. [09:48] hotxboy1S: But there is a brightness setting over there %) [09:48] magicstuff, better yet, why not try jackalope, why must it be intrepid? [09:48] I still don't get what's the proper way to say: Gnome or GNOME? [09:49] theadmin: don't worry about it [09:49] chciałem odpalic age of empire na wine i mi bład jakis bug wykazało o co chodzi ;/. wczesniej nie było tego czegos, [09:49] theadmin, doesn't really matter, its most likely Gnome [09:49] !pl | przemek_ [09:49] przemek_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [09:49] !pl | przemek_ [09:49] bleh [09:49] theadmin: no brightness control here. ubuntu failed to recognize my brightness keystrokes. [09:50] hotxboy1S: Then it is most likely a display driver problem, no idea how to fix [09:50] any idea how to fix a backlight control problem? [09:51] tried xev no keycode of my special keys. [09:51] hotxboy1S: is the backlight control normally managed by a function key combination ? [09:52] ikonia: It is for me, for instance, and it works. Fn+{f5|f6} [09:52] how to check if the drivers installed properly? [09:52] Currently (in gconf editor), my /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current = metacity [09:52] psycho_oreos: the one thing I get with dmesg in regards to wlan is addrconf(netdev_up): wlan0: link is not ready [09:52] and: /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default = /usr/bin/compiz [09:52] If I switch the values in those keys around to make compiz the current, will i indup in unloadable gnome desktop after boot, or I will be fine, and if it will become unloadable, where are the text files that I can change this back, from the command line if I will be stuck in the console, so I can get back to GUI. [09:52] igoryonya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:52] hotxboy1S: is the backlight control normally managed by a function key combination ? [09:53] magicstuff, yeah that's probably because its managed by network manager or some other applet like wicd [09:53] #avsp [09:53] While Windows has a device management to check what about Ubuntu? [09:53] hotxboy1S: is the backlight control normally managed by a function key combination ? [09:53] also... [09:53] hotxboy1S: Well, if of hardware something doesn't work then it is most likely a driver problem. Also, reply to ikonia's question [09:54] psycho_oreos: iwl3945: radio frequency kill switch is on (think thats the driver) [09:54] is there a way to linx ldap auth directly to system users? [09:54] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work [09:54] link* [09:54] magicstuff, hmm sounds like you have a function key you have to press to enable or maybe in BIOS [09:54] bronto2: lol i thought you wanted to add some kind of auth to the Lynx :/ [09:55] OK I`m a n00b. [09:55] ok.. [09:55] flipped the switch [09:55] theadmin, i'am trying to basically setup a lil intranet wiki, and i see it does support ldap, but can ldap be easily configure to just use posix system users? [09:56] what the freak!!!! [09:56] theadmin: what do u mean? I can use compiz 3D and play 720P video. [09:56] I had been flipping the switch back and forth trying to get wireless to work..and now it just works... [09:56] hotxboy1S: Well, uh, that is the video driver, not the display driver. Or i'm a noob. [09:56] methinks it was because I finally got the network monitor thing that has the @enable wireless@ thing a ma bob [09:57] Hi all, [09:57] hi barhmanal [09:58] thanks for the help psycho_oreos: [09:58] brahmana|web: Hi. [09:58] magicstuff, no worries [09:58] hmm I had to reinstall windows and now I can no longer connect to my ubuntu box through putty says I am missing a ppk file [09:58] whats the wallpaper package to get wallpapers from lynx? [09:59] I dont seem to have this file anywhere backed up\ [09:59] crash1hd: We don't support Windows here. [09:59] Hardy backports contain packages newer than those that were released [09:59] Sorry.. pressed enter by mistake. [09:59] back :) [09:59] theadmin, funny but the issue i am having is with the ssh ppk file for ubuntu not windows [09:59] hello [09:59] hi [10:00] Hardy backports repository contains packages newer than those that were available when hardy was released. Am I right? [10:00] morning, im trying to use my ubuntu one for the first time. Ive created an account, and from ubuntu opened "ubuntu one" and activiated this pc when the webpage appears [10:01] however the cloud symbol changes when connecting then returns to a error state? [10:01] no files are transmitted [10:01] hey I just installed the flash plugin and the video is working great but I am not getting any audio from any flash source [10:02] I tar zxvf madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz, then I cd into madwifi-0.9.4, then I used command: make [10:02] hi, are there any robust alternatives to offllineimap program? [10:03] THen I unplugged my USB wireless to see if my Internal Wifi card worked [10:03] It did not [10:03] khunter619, madwifi doesn't support atheros USB [10:04] khunter619: You just compiled something and thought something would magically work? Files must be copied to their correspondent directories, usually this is done with "sudo make install". But since psycho_oreos said it does not support it, better not even try [10:05] halfie: What it does? Might well think of something if i know the purpose [10:05] adding more fuel to fire, is that if there's a driver already loaded for the device or there's a driver that handles the corresponding device-id, if it matches with the newly installed driver, the result would look ugly [10:05] theadmin: ohh it downloads mail from IMAP servers [10:05] and then I read mail using mutt [10:06] broadcast message from theadmin@freenode : leaving soon [10:06] XD [10:06] any american here? [10:07] yep [10:07] magicstuff: hi. [10:07] psycho_oreos: where would I find wireless driver folder? i.e. where all drivers are there? so I can delete it? [10:08] any pro here?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:08] hey [10:08] halfie: Oh my, sorry, never used mail clients not to speak of downloaders [10:08] maco: Wrong !thing [10:08] pro what? [10:08] ubottu: anyone | hotxboy1S [10:08] hotxboy1S: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:08] I'm a Pro crastinator! [10:08] khunter619, and why would you want to do that? [10:08] theadmin: hrm yeah that one [10:09] psycho_oreos: to put updated drivers?

[10:12] psycho_oreos: ok just a clarification: I googled: Atheros AR2427 linux. I went to second result: www.atheros.cz. I clicked Linux where my driver was listed, and then it sent me to madwifi. http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&client=pub-9300639326172081&cof=FORID%3A13%3BAH%3Aleft%3BCX%3AUbuntu%25209%252E10%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fintl%2Fen%2Fimages%2Flogos%2Fcustom_search_logo_sm.gif%3BLH%3A30%3BLP%3A1%3BLC%3A%230000f [10:12] geekphreak: maybe I should switch to it too :D [10:12] geekphreak: Didn't it have a bug which deleted all messages after downloading them?

[10:13] maginot new xorg.conf doesnt work, keeps me on login screen, cant make it to desktop [10:13] psycho_oreos: Not USB; this is Internal card (inside the laptop) [10:13] khunter619, and you should have wlan0 interface no? [10:13] marlena, so use the tty (CTRL+ALT+F2) [10:14] maginot: Why did you preffer the second one? lol [10:14] psycho_oreos: wlan0 interface? [10:14] maginot, done that and restored previous version [10:14] khunter619, under iwconfig [10:14] theadmin: the first one sometimes fills up wtih junk from boot and random things that dont get logged right [10:14] 1 sec [10:15] maco: Ah, indeed... [10:15] * theadmin has to leave now. Sorry. [10:15] maginot, but it's still 1280x960 instead of 1280x1024 [10:15] theadmin, just to guarantee that is a free tty, I have saw already gdm using first tty (my own distro works this way) === token` is now known as whiter-sleep [10:16] psycho_oreos: Yes wlan0 interface is there.

(realtek/asus alfa) [10:30] I mounted a volume the wrong way, so when I thought I was moving files to it they didn't end up on the volume but in /proc/<#>/cwd(searched for the files). Then I did the rest wrong and corrected the volume mount, and somehow caused the cwd folder in /proc to disappear(/proc/<#> is still there). So I can't find the files anymore. / is still low on space though, which was the reason I discovered the bad mount, so I guess the files are still out there? Pro [10:30] blem is I can't find them. [10:30] aint a #ubuntu related question anyways [10:30] Otherwise the plan b question would be if there's some kind of undelete program for ext4? [10:30] khunter619, yeah I know that, I have usb dongles that uses the same driver.. umm its weird how there's no ath5k, that is the driver that should be for use with integrated [10:30] only in linux i can modifi may [10:30] partition [10:31] maginot, I'm new to linux, what is you adjusted in xorg.conf [10:31] marlena, vertical and horizontal rates [10:31] elyob: :) [10:32] marlena, and tooked off modelines, which wasn't helping to much [10:32] khunter619, modprobe -l | grep ath5k [10:33] hello, last night i dist-upgraded a karmic 9.10 box and rebooted. it has dns nameservers configured in /etc/network/interfaces and i was not prompted at any point to update any configuration files. after reboot it reset the resolv.conf to blank and failed to add any nameservers to it. is this a known issue? [10:33] psycho_oreos: kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko [10:34] cya peeps :) [10:34] khunter619, weird structure, you probably need to issue depmod -ae [10:34] How to disable pasting on clicking mouse3 button? [10:34] hi everybody. I need to use the textext plugin for inkscape, but the website that hosts the plugin is down. Does anyone know where to get it, or is anyone willing to send the package to me? [10:35] maginot, but how you figured out those values? [10:35] psycho_oreos: WARNING: -e needs -E or -F [10:35] psycho_oreos: what do I do? [10:35] maginot, diffing those configs right now [10:35] marlena, belinea 10 17 51 have only three combination as far as I know [10:35] khunter619, do depmod -a [10:35] psycho_oreos: WARNING: -e needs -E or -FFATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/modules.dep.temp for writing: Permission denied [10:36] maginot, but I couldnt find it [10:36] psycho_oreos: FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/modules.dep.temp for writing: Permission denied [10:36] marlena, you can't look inside my head, can you ? ;) [10:36] khunter619, sudo depmod -a [10:37] hi everybody. I need to use the textext plugin for inkscape, but the website that hosts the plugin is down. Does anyone know where to get it, or is anyone willing to send the package to me? anyone? [10:38] psycho_oreos: sudo was successful; but then I ran depmod -a again: FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/modules.dep.temp for writing: Permission denied [10:39] khunter619, 1) why are you running it again? 2) depmod requires root privileges, without it or using sudo for example renders not doable [10:39] psycho_oreos: wait sudo give admin privileges to all commands so that means depmod -a was done successfully when done with sudo depmod -a? [10:40] khunter619, the other way round [10:41] psycho_oreos: so depmod -a is done right? (there was no verbose output) [10:42] khunter619, sudo depmod -a is the right way [10:43] (repaste into the right channel:) [10:43] bind '"\C-W": "foo"' inserts "foo" when hitting control-w [10:43] bind '"\C-W": forward-char' deletes backwards when hitting control-w [10:43] what's the difference?

[10:43] psycho_oreos: ok sudo depmod -a is done; now I ran sudo depmod -ae WARNING: -e needs -E or -F ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [10:44] khunter619, if you look at the manpages of depmod, you will clearly see why it won't work and hence that's why I suggested to do depmod -a instead of depmod -ae [10:45] maginot, big thanks for help! [10:46] marlena, np, glad to help [10:46] bye [10:49] cwillu_at_work: what does "bind '"\C-W": "foo-char"' do?

[11:02] CuriosTiger: I'm not sure if you can make it boot at any resolution since the graphics drivers aren't loaded by then.. you might be limited to "standard" VGA resolutions [11:03] how to install telnet [11:03] Slart: In other words, not 1680x1050, since VGA didn't ever include widescreen resultions [11:03] i like only booting time in ubunto [11:03] CuriosTiger: try adding vga=778 to the boot options for the kernel [11:03] slart: What about GDM? Surely by then, the drivers are loaded [11:04] mertle: OK, I'll give that a shot [11:04] wroom: There are many versions, lightweight, heavyweight, middle, and even USB.

[11:14] psycho_oreos: the reason I don't want to use ndiswrapper is to play around in the future with aircrack-ng [11:14] khunter619, that dongle can be used with aircrack-ng [11:14] does anybody know how can i get flash workig with chrome .. i mean i have create plugins folder and put the libflashplayer in the plugin folder and started the chrome /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins %U its still not working i am running 10.04 [11:15] !lucid | xerophyte [11:15] xerophyte: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [11:15] psycho_oreos: I use that dongle on my big PC...trying to get a 4 way handshake...I am planning to leave my netbook on for 24-48 hours [11:16] psycho_oreos: my big PC has no integrated wireless [11:17] khunter619, well, if you want it to work with aircrack-ng, expect to get your hands dirty [11:18] psycho_oreos: It was my understanding that madwifi & aircrack-ng work together? i.e. most people use madwifi drivers with aircrack-ng? [11:19] khunter619, madwifi-ng is an older driver way back before ath5k came about. ath5k would simplify a fair amount of work that was once related to getting things to work with madwifi-ng [11:19] they both work on different framework but ath5k is the future === e3hcl is now known as james === james is now known as Guest58580 [11:24] !bw43 [11:24] Hrmf.

[11:28] CuriosTiger: #ubuntu+1 is currently the 10.04 channel [11:28] Most likely, vmware tools will need an update to support 10.04 [11:28] sebsebseb: I'm not running it anymore. It was just a comment. :) [11:29] I went back to 9.10, which is rock solid for me.

[11:31] mtduv: There may be something since for example there's that optional populaity contest what software people use thingey. Popular doesn't always mean good. What kind of software are you after anyway>? [11:31] !lucid | dyllan [11:31] dyllan: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [11:31] * knoppies thinks you should not fight over who was off topic. This channel is for sharing knowledge, not for political debates. [11:31] maginot, now only basic xorg works... [11:31] knoppies: it's for Ubuntu support [11:32] ubottu, ot | knoppies [11:32] knoppies: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:32] maginot, went to far removing x* from /etc/X11 [11:32] well, there always seems to be a set of software that people find useful such as other terminal applications and irc applications [11:32] maginot, had to reinstall xserver-org [11:32] marlena, I told to remove any xorg.conf file, not x* files.. [11:32] i was looking for the applications that would make using ubuntu more productive [11:32] !irc | mtduv [11:32] mtduv: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [11:33] maginot, yeah but I had so many copies... [11:33] maginot, and did some overkill [11:33] marlena, but only xorg.conf had to be removed, not xorg.conf.otherthings [11:33] mtduv: Konversation :) KDE app though, so if you haven't already got KDE stuff on, it will want to put on quite a bit. Anyway Ubuntu isn't Windows, so as long as your partition is reasoanbly sized, you don't need to worry about apps taking up loads of space. [11:34] maginot, it was stupid but it happend [11:34] marlena, well, if you want to try, this is the last tip I have: http://pastebin.com/KHEYg7hs [11:34] mtduv: there are a few terminal apps, but they all use bash [11:34] marlena, its strange not working [11:34] mtduv: or most of them anyway [11:34] maginot, tried it, doesnt work [11:35] sebsebseb: thanks a lot for the help [11:35] marlena, okay and without any xorg.conf (just without this UNIQUE file) ? [11:35] maginot: ok np [11:35] maginot, now only the very first config I made works, none of yours (which previously worked) isnt working anymore [11:35] i was just sad to see the rating system was gone [11:35] seemed useful [11:35] maginot: wrong one. ok np mtduv [11:36] maginot, I'll try again without xorg.conf [11:36] Is there a directory where all the .desktop files for the main menu are kept? [11:36] marlena, yes, you X11 server must be able to auto configure itself [11:39] Can i somehow change the desktop background with the terminal? (GNOME) [11:40] Hey, is 10.04 server a LTS release? [11:40] micheil: Yep [11:40] theadmin, look at the feh binary [11:40] and that should be out in full when? [11:40] micheil: 29th April [11:40] nimrod10: "feh"? [11:40] cool, thanks ) [11:40] yes [11:40] :) [11:40] nimrod10: Tells me it ain't installed [11:41] :) install it then and give it a spin [11:41] All i want is to add a crontab line which will switch the background every minute or so [11:42] Installed Ubuntu on Dell inspirion 1545 and it freezes.... I don't know why they say this is verified http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/200910-4252/ [11:42] maginot, rebooted without xorg.conf I got 800x600 [11:42] theadmin there is also a app called wally that will do that for you [11:43] marlena, well.... sorry, but those xorgs files I gave you (from the first) were to be enough =/ [11:44] theadmin, I use a .sh and .py script that does it for the compiz wallpaper plugin. If you're interested I can get the link to the website.

Did you check Hardware Drivers to see if there are any indications of your network card needed to be installed? Also, are you trying via wired or wireless? [14:06] yeas all was fine [14:06] bullgard: You need to make sure you know there's no security problem with the host. If this is your own machine, then you just say "yes". If it's someone else, you phone or text-message to get the RSA fingerprint. [14:06] tc guys [14:06] got to go, have fun all [14:07] kwtm: If it was someone else's machine, how could he determine the fingerprint?

Both 10.04b1 and 9.10 are hanging on either direct installation or liveCD. But I only see the logo, so I can't see any errors or messages to know where the issue lies. Is there a way to install without the messages supressed? [14:08] harry-houdini1, why do you need it from svn ? [14:09] hi guys ... a question please .. Suppose I have a byobu session ( or any other running command in its place ), and I want to attach it to a screen session, how can I do that ? [14:09] joaopinto, cause it has sound support features not contained in the release version [14:09] ah ok [14:09] basically, can I attach an already running command to a new screen ? [14:10] there is three directories under rdesktop branches tags and trunk [14:10] harry-houdini1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [14:10] bullgard: Hmm, web sites list a convoluted way to do it. I'm still looking for the easy way, but if I can't find it I'll tell you the complex way. [14:10] you want trunk, trunk is usually the source dir [14:11] kwtm: Right. Is the program ssh-keygen a solution? === alien260 is now known as jt76 [14:11] くおてください。よろしくお [14:11] !jp | crunchbang [14:11] crunchbang: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [14:12] thank you [14:12] bullgard: That's the one the web sites show. But I recall that, when there was a security flaw in sshd, Debian (and Ubuntu) gave a command that you could use to get the RSA key, without specifying the key file. (iirc) Still looking, but ssh-keygen -l seems to be the most common way. [14:15] hi all, somebody can help to mount a raid disk? [14:15] bullgard: tried using ssh-keygen -l, but it gave a different key on mine. So either the command is wrong or I've already been compromnised. :P [14:15] I want try to backup data before sending the nas to repair.. [14:15] quick Q, did a update as per recommendation of system updates and now Namoroka is my default browser. I can't find any information about this on the ubuntu site. Is the default behavior to install this Alpha version? [14:16] how can i stop the window manageer [14:16] but I'm not able to mount the partition [14:16] Kre10s: log out and choose a different windows session. [14:17] k [14:17] funkwarrior, what have you tried? Have you done sudo mount ? [14:17] bullgard: Okay, got it: you type "ssh-keygen -l", and then at the prompt you type "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key" [14:17] fumanchu182: which ubuntu? [14:17] bullgard: Not sure why this can't be all on the command-line, but there you have it. WIsh I could find that other command, though. [14:17] or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [14:18] mertle: Karmic [14:18] k [14:18] wactuary: Anyone answer your question yet? [14:18] I just want to make sure a repo I added in sources.list isn't doing anything funny. [14:18] not yet. [14:19] hi guys, is there a way to attach an already running program to a screen session ? [14:19] wactuary: In case no: I *think* you can press Ctrl-Alt-F1 or c-a-F2 or c-a-F3, etc. to find a screen that's not the splash screen but the actual messages scrolling up. [14:19] wactuary: You actually only need Alt-F1/2/3 etc. but Ctrl-Alt will work whether or not you've switched to graphical X Window mode. [14:20] fumanchu182, did you upgrade to lucid ? [14:20] kwtm: let me try that. I thought I had, but it was last night. brb. [14:20] kwtm: These two fingerprints are not identical mith me. [14:21] wactuary: try c-a-F4, too. There are usually 6 text screens and then c-a-F7 is graphical, and I've seen boot messages up to screen 4, although usually it's screen 1 or 2. Can't remember what it is with Ubuntu. [14:21] heyoh, need some networking advice [14:21] *wactuary: sure [14:21] bullgard: Maybe you can try ssh'ing into your own machine and checking the fingerprint, to make sure it's not an error in the instructions I gave. [14:22] is it better to have NAT on or off? i have a server (asterisk) that I would like to have open to a few users in the company [14:22] rbut returned error is: mount: unknown file system type 'linux_raid_member' [14:22] I'm a greenhand!! Nice to meet you all [14:22] bullgard: Chances of MITM is slim, and the ssh key is mostly to detect if there are any changes after you've been SSH'ing in daily for a month or something. Having said that, you should check fingerprint anyway, because otherwise it defeats the purpose! [14:23] demonoid.com openreg! === gabriele is now known as Guest24483 [14:24] kwtm: Found it! Esc. It didn't seem to work last night, probably because it was already hung when I tried. The Alt or C-Alt didn't have an effect. [14:24] IanBaliadJr: Please don't do that here [14:24] wactuary: Good to know! I sort of assumed you tried pressing Esc and different keys on the keyboard already. [14:24] kwtm: now, to find out why it's all errors coming through! [14:24] ardchoille: sry but this is a fantastic new! [14:25] *feeling pretty sheepish* [14:25] joaopinto: no i did not [14:25] i cid cat /etc/issue and i am on 9.10 still [14:25] fumanchu182: ok, the upgrade process is not expected to change your default browser, something went wrong [14:25] err s/c/d/g [14:26] fumanchu182, so the upgrade as not successful [14:26] Okay how can I trouble shoot this, is there a log. [14:26] fumanchu182, how did you upgrade ? [14:26] I got a notice from Update Manager. [14:26] I usually trust it so I just clicked 'Update" and off it went. [14:27] fumanchu182, from the command line try: do-release-upgrade [14:27] fumanchu182: Are you trying to upgrade to a new release? What repo did you add? [14:27] No new release found. [14:27] No I am not trying to update to a new release. [14:27] Pici, he upgraded to karmic but it failed somehow [14:27] Let me scan sources.list [14:28] Are any of you using eee-control in the Lucid beta1 ?

Twice and it was too much. I went to gedit. [14:29] Okay stop, I did not upgrade to lucid. I am on version 9.10. I just did an update as per Update Manager and now firefox is gone and Namoroka is the default. [14:29] fumanchu182: Thats probably fine. Are you getting an error when you try to apt-get upgrade or install a package? [14:29] nop [14:29] e [14:29] but why is firefox gone. [14:30] fumanchu182: Oh. Namaroka is Firefox. [14:30] hi, what command can i run to find out which version of ubuntu im running? [14:30] I read Namaroka is FF 3.6 but is it stable? In the about is says Alpha/Pre. [14:30] Bizzeh: lsb_release -a [14:30] Bizzeh: "cat /etc/issues" === jbake_ is now known as jbake [14:31] lsb_release, hmm have to add that to my arsenal [14:31] funkwarrior: OK. So you know what filesystem it was formatted as? and specifying type didn't help? [14:31] hehe, for the past two years i have been doing "cat /etc/issues" [14:31] So Pici, this is the default browser now? [14:32] I am trying to untar with this command: sudo tar -zxvf msw2k7.tar and get this error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors what is wrong?

[14:33] Diverdude, it's a .tar, not a .gz, remove the "z" from the tar options [14:33] Bizzeh: use lsb_release -a [14:33] guys, I'm experiencing pretty regular complete system freezes on Karmic. even the magic sysrq buttons will not work. I've run memtest for over 24 hours, and it found no errors. What should I look at next? [14:33] http://pastebin.com/ByBuGE02 [14:33] So it is coming from ppa [14:34] I added that last entry to sources.list to add smuxi to the machine for 7.1 as the general repo only had .6.4 [14:34] is there a way to look at the details of a security update AFTER i've installed it? [14:35] So when I did the update I guess it pulled ppa in as well? === jesse__ is now known as Guest86712 [14:35] can someone tell me what command is executed to open System > Preferences > Sound? [14:35] Guest86712, gnome-volume-control [14:36] last question, how can i detect the archutecture of a system? [14:36] fumanchu182: It doesn't look like the smuxi ppa has firefox in it, are you using another ppa perhaps? [14:36] uname -m [14:36] wactuary: ok, the tip on the ubuntu forum works fine ;) [14:36] Bizzeh, uname -m [14:36] thank you for you support! [14:36] I scanned everything else in sources.list nothing seems out of ordinary. [14:36] cool. good luck. [14:37] melter : /var/log/dpkg.log [14:37] fumanchu182: It looks like that package version is in the Daily build PPA for the mozilla team. [14:37] coz_: That doesn't seem right. I'm looking for the gnome preferences thing which lets me disable the system beep. Running gnome-volume-control gives me no such option. [14:38] Guest86712, [14:38] Guest86712, mm let me look [14:38] hi, are new ATI video cards still a problem under linux as it was for old ATS cards (i.e. mobility radeon X700)? [14:38] Guest86712: i would blacklist the kernel module === ardian_flossk is now known as Lulzim_flossk [14:38] Guest86712, did you look under the Sound effects tab and the pull down for Sound theme? [14:38] melter , also found : (the "3 is for how many days) : find /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -daystart \( -name \*.list -a -mtime -3 \) | sed 's#.list$##;s#.*/##' | sort [14:39] Interesting. [14:39] Guest86712, or simply disable "Alert volume" [14:39] DasEi: when you click on an update before you install it, it shows what was fixed, but after it's installed, that information is gone, and it's not in /var/log/dpkg.log [14:39] Guest86712: grep pcspkr /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [14:39] Well I am going to remove the only ppa i have in sources and see what happens when i remove namoroka as well [14:39] asd [14:40] fumanchu182: try: grep ppa /etc/apt/sources.list perhaps theres an repo there that you're just missing when looking through it. [14:40] bassliner: Yeah, I'm aware I can do that, but I'm pretty sure there is a gnome setting somewhere. [14:40] since i'm going to buy a new pc, and everybody on forums suggests ATI instead of nvidia, but i remeber having much problems with ATI cards under ubuntu in the past... [14:40] Guest86712: no idea bout that. [14:41] nobody knows? [14:41] pici that's what i thought too, only this was in there deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/meebey/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [14:41] hi i'm having a problem with ubuntu 8.04, i installed it and everything seemed fine, however when i tried changing the resolution it's now got a "hourglass" shape. No matter how I try and change it back it stays this way. What's the problem? [14:41] melter : so you need a changelog of the package and not changes in your sys [14:41] j /#ubuntu-it [14:42] coz_: That might be it. However I think it doesn't work because I only have Xfce installed and all I did was install gnome-media. :P Adding gtk-error-bell to my gtkrc did it. :) [14:42] Guest86712, and you want that darn beeping to stop ok open synaptic package manager [14:43] Hi folks [14:43] melter : http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-updates/doc/ [14:43] I used ssh -f to setup a SSH tunnel. How can I bring that process from background? [14:43] Blimey, am getting really peaved with eclipse in Ubuntu .. anyone have any better ideas for a development platform for PHP in 9.10? [14:44] melter : if you call a specific paket, there's the changelog on the right side [14:44] elyob, Zend Studio, NetBeans... [14:44] Trying to install 9.10 on a new box, getting the following 2 errors on install: "shpchp 0000:00:01.0: Cannot reserve MMIO region" and then "ACPI: I/O resource piix4_smbus [0xb00-0xb07] conflicts with ACPI region SOR1 [0xb00]-0xb0f]" Any clue on what might be going wrong? [14:44] elyob: aptana [14:45] elyob, actually, you might try to ask this question in ##php [14:45] So Pici, I removed the ppa, did a update on apt-get and the policy still points to the PPA. [14:45] elnur: naaw they dont like ide chat lol :) [14:46] wactuary: mmio i can't say, second looks like a irqmodul conflict, try to change onboard's chips irq in bios if possible, else disable acpi at boot for install and later analysis; does a live cd boot ? [14:46] fumanchu182: Well, yes, it will never downgrade packages. Perhaps you have files/entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [14:46] geekphreak, lol. the reason i suggest him to talk in ##php is because there are more php programmers, then here ;) [14:46] Let me look. [14:46] elnur: i know its kool :) [14:46] fumanchu182: You'll need to apt-get install --reinstall firefox after you remove the offending entries. [14:47] elyob: can i post a link [14:47] sure enough deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [14:47] dammit [14:47] How do I get empathy to display rhythmbox songs in status? I am on 9.10 Karmic with Gnome 2.28.1 (: [14:47] Guest86712, I am looking for the library you have to remove to prevent that gnome sound from sounding [14:47] I didn't put that in there. I think when I clicked on the FF download on their front page the deb added it. [14:47] kushalone: you can use the dbus. [14:47] Balls. [14:47] kushalone: on empthy dont think u can do it, with kopete and pidgin yes [14:48] I'm running within Gnome and have an app that runs in full-screen mode. When I try to print from this app, the print dialog comes up "behind" the full screen app, so I can't get to it, and essentially hangs the GUI because I can't get to it to click on anything. [14:48] DasEi: couldn't get live or install to work in either 9.10 or 10.04b1. I'll retry with ACPI off. [14:48] hmm dbus interesting [14:48] kushalone: use some scripting language to talk to the dbus about both the applications [14:48] anyone know a way to reorder the windows when one of them is "full screen" ? [14:48] a_bug: any links that I can use? [14:48] kushalone: one second. [14:48] kwtm: On one of my computers the files /home//.ssh/id_rsa und id_rsa.pub do not exist. How should I create them? [14:48] DasEi: or what should I change in BIOS? Which onboard chip? [14:49] hitting Alt-Tab shows the outline for it, and seems to activate it, but it still stays behind where I can't see it [14:49] kushalone: http://atrueswordsman.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/setting-your-currently-playing-rhythmbox-song-as-your-pidgin-status-message/ [14:49] DasEi: thanks, i found what i was looking for at changelogs.ubuntu.com, but i wish that was built into update manager or software center [14:49] a_bug: thanks [14:49] bullgard: I will tell you, but note that thoes are YOUR keys, not your system keys. Hang on a sec... [14:49] elyob: you there? [14:50] a_bug: thanks for link , i will check too ;) [14:51] For some reason I cannot /j [14:51] geekphreak: Yup, here [14:51] melter: You can also use aptitude changelog packagename Also, apt-listchanges is nice if you want to see better changelogs than what gets published to changelogs.ubuntu.com (sometimes the publishing lags behind when the actual package is published) [14:51] * kushalone #gnome [14:52] elyob: check this http://aptana.org/studio/download [14:52] kushalone: Try using the full form: /join [14:52] bullgard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/410559/ [14:52] need some help with getting pictures off cell phone -- anyone? [14:52] genii: Unsupported command :( [14:52] ubuntu how is it related to ubuntu? [14:53] kushalone: What IRC client are you using? [14:53] kushalone: which client? [14:53] bullgard: Basically, you use "ssh-keygen -t rsa", but my script gives a way to replicate it if you want. [14:53] Empathy :/ [14:53] not really an IRC client [14:53] So, I have some mp3's and a video that play at low volume. I crank my receiver so I can hear the movie and the system sounds sound like thunder (super absurdly loud). I can't put any of the sliders in mplayer/aumix/alsamix up any higher. I did not have this problem with alsa (went from an alsa based debian box to karmic) [14:53] kushalone: Use a real IRC client, or wenchat.freenode.net [14:53] who is good at tomcat? [14:53] kushalone: sorry, webchat.freenode.net [14:53] yeah, I am heading over to firefox [14:53] kushalone: on main empthy app, u can click join room [14:53] bullgard: $OTHER_MACHINE is either name or ip address. Also, they say don't put a password on the id_rsa.pub, just for convenience. [14:53] geekphreak: wasn't sure if I'd get help here or if this is the correct room to ask that question [14:53] Is there an easy way to nuke pulse and restore alsa? [14:54] geekphreak: Cheers .. taking a look [14:54] ubuntu: if cell phone is Palm device, I might be able to help. [14:54] elyob: np [14:54] Pici: thanks! [14:54] ubuntu: pvt msg since this is off-topic? [14:54] kwtm motorola [14:54] hi all [14:54] ubuntu: sorry, not familiar. Better luck elsewhere! [14:55] kwtm: tried sudo mount /dev/sda /media/nameofdevice and it said didn't recognize it [14:55] kwtm: but dmesg |tail -20 showd motororal phone [14:55] I'm trying to configure nat in ufw, but it doesn't work [14:56] geekphreak? [14:56] ubuntu: if it appears on /media/nameofdevice, then it would already be mounted (Ubuntu would do that automatically). Someone else might be able to tell you how to mount it. Only if the phone acts as a mass storage device; it might not. (YOu can't mount a webcam, for example.) [14:56] if I insert this two lines in /etc/ufw/before.rules I get an error [14:56] yes? [14:56] *nat [14:56] :PREROUTING - [0:0] [14:56] geekphreak, is there another room I can go to for some help? [14:56] whois LinuxAdmin [14:56] sorry?

[14:58] not that i know off ubuntu [14:58] is there any firewall expert out there? [14:58] !anybody | LinuxAdmin [14:58] LinuxAdmin: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:58] btw geekphreak, "ubuntu" nics was automated :) [14:58] forgot how to nick serv [14:58] np [14:59] I used slackware for years and used iptables for my firewall, but now I want to move to ufw [14:59] LinuxAdmin: Post your lines in a pastebin, and then ask your question on 1 line. WHen you spread your questions over >1 line, other lines show up in between and people can't figure out what you're asking. You want help with NAT in ufw, right? [14:59] ubuntu try #electronics [14:59] i aint sure [14:59] thanks geekphreak [14:59] yes [14:59] ubuntu: what is the model of your motorola phone? I'm trying to Google for you, but you haven't supplied a lot of info. [15:00] LinuxAdmin: ufw is a programm for configure iptables [15:00] geekphreak how-to say "geekphreak" without having to type it all the time? [15:00] that goes for any nic [15:00] normal just type gee, press tab [15:00] geekphreak, === u is now known as Guest4096 [15:00] worked a little bit [15:00] ubuntu: in Konversation: type "geekp" then tab. Not sure in whatever the default is for GNOME Ubuntu. [15:00] hat to "gee then geekp tab [15:00] thanks [15:00] Hello, I cannot get my wireless internet to work on ubntu!! [15:00] !ufw | LinuxAdmin [15:00] LinuxAdmin: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [15:00] Hi all [15:01] hey guys, is there a way to update an ubuntu version, or do i have to install ubuntu new for each version? [15:01] it won't connect or it establishes a connection but doesn't get any signal [15:01] !upgrade | moppelkotze1 [15:01] moppelkotze1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [15:01] !upgrade | moppelkotze1 [15:01] Hi all [15:01] umm... just to let you know, I'm a bit put off by the nick "JesusFreak". You have the right to any nickname you want, of course, but I'm just going to let others converse with you. Sorry, just my personal comfort level. [15:01] but i like the simplicity of ufw, and want to move to it, but I've got "complex" iptables rules that I want to move also [15:01] moppelkotze1: dist-upgrade [15:02] ty [15:02] kwtm: I understand [15:02] welp, geekphreak: no one in #electronics [15:02] LinuxAdmin: for the record: tried "Guidedog" or "Guarddog"? [15:02] Pici that did the trick, thanks for your help. [15:02] geekphreak: that doesn't upgrade to the next version [15:02] hi! how can I replace any occurrence of string A with B in a file F in bash? [15:02] fumanchu182: great [15:02] greetings ! need some help plz...need to get KeepassX in here but cant get it through terminal as it says theres no such name..and cant install it via software Center as there is no ption to install it..any ideas [15:02] ubuntu: do we know yet the model of your motorola phone? I will give up if no info in 60 seconds. [15:02] Whats the fastest and most recommended way to connect from 1 ubuntu box to another? I have VNC set up, but its kind of slow...

[15:03] It says Permission Denied - but the password is definitely correct [15:03] kwtm: someone took out the simm and put another one in T-Mobile I beleive, but with original simm it didn't work either [15:04] Roasted: fastest way is probably text interface with ssh, but do you need a GUI? if so, then VNC (there are several variants) may be best bet. [15:04] yeah, I need a gui. [15:04] its very slow though, and I'm not even going outside my lan.... [15:05] ubuntu: You're not giving info I need, so will try again one last time. What is the model of your Motorola phone? Example: I use a Palm Treo 650. What do you use? What is the machine that connects to your Ubuntu machine? [15:05] it doesn't work [15:05] OK so I cannot get my internet to work. It says it established a connection but then is gray and gets no signal. Please help! [15:05] how do i change that bookmarked places are not in a submenu of the places panel menu? [15:05] kwtm: have almost no idea [15:05] Am I missing something? [15:05] ubuntu: Ah. Thanks for telling me. I will give up now. [15:05] kwtm: don't have it with me "charging" but not sure if that'll help [15:06] Pici: what is "g" in sed -i "s/stringA/stringB/g" file? [15:06] kwtm: thanks anyway for your input [15:06] madjoe: the last "g" is for "global": change all occurrences of stringA, not just the first one. === JesusFreak is now known as needhelp [15:06] kwtm: too fast for me today ;) [15:06] kwtm: boy you're fast.. thanks! :) [15:06] on the line [15:06] Hello all im having trouble with my server booting, Buffer i/o erro ron device sdb1 logicalblock 0-9 [15:06] I used ssh -f to setup a SSH tunnel.

Do you know your connection speed? I am using "g" (I think it's 805.11g?) wireless and it works okay. [15:07] I/O error not good [15:07] who was it that wanted to remove the gnome beep from xfce? [15:07] kwtm, wireless on my laptop, wired on the server. wireless G, no congestion, very few people on it. and its slow. [15:07] geekphreak I know this, drive dieing? [15:07] ok, I see can't get too much help here, thanks anyway [15:07] Roasted: You know VNC will be slower than the real machine, right? It's also slower if you use full colours instead of 256 colours, slower if you scale, and slower if it's over a tunnelled connection. [15:07] kwtm, see this server runs a web based GUI program so I kind of need the gui. [15:08] kcw12: backup data mate :) [15:08] roasted: like, unusable slow? For example, my response lag time is about 0.5 to 1.0 seconds. [15:08] kwtm, I understand, but I really need the desk space, and I dont use this server much but I need it to be somewhat use-able. [15:08] geekphreak i cant even get it to mount [15:08] kwtm, when I click on "Places" in the menu, it shouldn't take a full 20 seconds to render "home, documents, downloads, music, pictures" etc [15:08] IS there a way to control firefox through the terminal? (for example, tell it to save, or close) [15:08] thats why Im irritated with vnc. [15:08] kcw12: how old is the drive? [15:08] Hi all [15:08] geekphreak gonna have to pull drive and get data off that way? 526ish days [15:09] Hi all [15:09] Roasted: Oh, 20 seconds is way too slow, I agree. Beyond 2 seconds is probably utterly unusable. Beyond 1 second is "hard to use". Hmm... [15:09] Roasted: What version of VNC are you using? x11vnc, I take it? [15:09] Hi all [15:09] Hi all [15:09] kwtm, I have no idea. I just set it up in the build in remote desktop setitngs. [15:09] Hi all [15:09] mynick321: DO you need help with anything?

[15:11] Heck that was more like 30 seconds [15:11] Roasted: I first SSH into the machine to start the VNC server (it's not running all the time), then I VNC in over a tunnelled connection. [15:11] kwtm, yeah. I just wonder how I connect then when I install tightvnc. Like is that through terminal or what. [15:11] kwtm, what about a standard RDP connection? [15:11] geekphreak i can make one real quick [15:12] please help.

I have my mac hd mounted automatically, but I have to enter my password to be able to access the user folders. Can I somehow set it up to give me total access? [15:12] Tecna: Someone just called for ops for the same reason. We don't immediately ban the person you say is bad. It takes a little time to take a look at the situation. [15:12] I am presently able to chat [15:12] but must free space NOW [15:12] (without having to enter my password) [15:12] Roasted: I used to know those technical terms but I set up my VNC system a few years ago and just kept the same config.

[15:13] Amaranth: I'm sorry that I can't read everything everyone else says while focused on typing. [15:13] how to do VM removal? [15:13] researcher1: Do you use any VMs? [15:13] yes I use VBox [15:14] kcw12: can i pm ??

[15:14] home:93% [15:14] researcher1: Then find where virtualbox stores VM images and delete them [15:14] or ur not registered [15:14] ok [15:14] did you get the link kcw12? [15:15] researcher1: go to Applications->Accessories->Disk Usage Analyzer [15:15] Roasted: I then run my "Krdc" application (you can use whatever VNC viewer you want), and connect to machine "localhost" on port "5900". [15:15] yeah [15:15] chk it out [15:15] Roasted: It asks for my password, then the remote screen appears. [15:15] good luck [15:15] hello all !

How do I make it so I don't have to enter my password? [15:19] LALFGM: Hmm.. not familiar with Ubuntu-in-Windows. I think you used Wubi.exe, right? Do you start Windows and then run Ubuntu while using Windows, or does it reboot into Ubuntu without windows? Anyone else familiar with Wubi here? [15:20] kwtm: the second option you described. [15:20] researcher1: were you talking to me? You need to put my nick in your line or else it won't highlight your lines and I won't read your lines.

I have 2.0 installed and want to upgrade to 3.0, but only 2.0 is on the repositories, and when I download 3.0 from their web site, the install does not complete.

[15:24] kwtm: I will come in later and tell you the info what you asked. Will you be here later? [15:24] DasEi: what are transparent proxies.. its a http proxy that acts as a firewall [15:24] dum : can you call a webside, like google atm ? [15:25] LALFGM: I don't come here that often. You might want to try Ubuntu Forums on the web, where: 1) more people can see because it's not just for people who are here right at this instant, and 2) others can get help from what you learned. [15:25] anyone know when beta2 of lynx is being released? [15:25] william: Enable the "restricted" repository [15:25] skrite99: TOMORROW!!! (Can't wait.)

If you can't find any, register as a new user, then post your question. [15:27] DasEi: things just dont work from command line [15:27] dum : so it seems more a firewall, err auth, need usr/pass for that proxy ? [15:27] LALFGM: Don't forget to include the output of the command "nm-tool". It might take a few days to get all your questions answered, but the help is more thorough. I'm not that good at Ubuntu. [15:28] wow big list [15:28] DasEi: huh? [15:28] dum : what did you set in browser ? a username and pass for the proxy ?

Free up a meg or two with just plain "rm " and then start uninstalling. :P [15:34] wow 0 lol [15:34] researcher1 : anything in trash or a file you can easily delete ? [15:35] researcher1: Like, you could probably uninstall OpenOffice and then reinstall it later. [15:35] yes I can delete anything for this moment [15:35] but u please see image also [15:35] researcher1: got any external drive? [15:35] ip addr show dev eth0 | grep -V inet6 | grep inet should give a result if your interface is up [15:35] and you have an ipv4 address [15:35] any suggestions on a 56k modem for a PBX [15:36] no external drive just a pen drive [15:36] kwtm: prob is now apt not working due to lack of space [15:36] researcher1: What image are you talking about? Pastebin? I must have missed a URL to a graphics image. (wow, 92G and 0 bytes available...) [15:36] researcher1: move some downloaded data/ files to it [15:36] genii: how can i enable restricted repository? === luke is now known as Guest80301 [15:36] barrando: Actually, this should command should only report information if eth0 is up: ip link show up dev eth0 [15:36] DasEi: Yeah, I mean researcher1 needs to just plain "rm" something to free up a few megs.

[15:40] william: Anyone answer your question yet? You can use Synaptic (I don't use it, though, so not sure how) or you use Adept. [15:40] ubuntunewbie: hmm, I never did it on rmvb [15:40] hmm [15:40] researcher1: did you post the image? [15:40] DasEi: oh [15:41] tobi__: Oh. For that I'm not that familiar. I know you can use it, though... and it might not have all teh features of a KDE system if it's put into a GNOME system. [15:41] An outgoing ping without a source IP defined would pick up the IP of the outbound interface correct?? .. not a secondary IP range on that outbound interface .... not some random loopback IP or other interface IP ... true? [15:41] geekphreak:http://imagebin.org/92058 [15:41] ubuntunewbie: does it play in vlc (the original) ? [15:41] researcher1: Personally, I think you just need to move a few files off to your pen drive first, or just plain delete some files. The disk analyzer report is almost irrelevant. [15:42] DasEi: you mean the rmvb ? nope vlc doesn't support rmvb [15:42] what it is which I can safely delete without destabilising the system?

Do you know how to get to a terminal to delete? [15:43] ok [15:43] yes [15:43] ubuntunewbie: that is .. sound and vid not in syc ? [15:43] Im into terminal [15:43] researcher1 clean trash , [15:43] ok.done [15:44] researcher1: cd ~/.local/share/Trash [15:44] researcher1: ls [15:44] researcher1: Find something that you can download another copy of, or something. Free up 100MB if you can, or even 10MB or 1MB. Then do "apt-get remove openofficve.org-core" or something. [15:44] just a moment let me follow u [15:44] researcher1: sth in ?

It doesn't look that useful. Install filelight (*AFTER* you remove OpenOffice!) and go with that. [15:45] thanx kwtn.. i looki for a soln.. [15:45] thanx kwtn.. i lookin for a soln.. [15:45] ubuntunewbie: but the video is now played by vlc, but sound not in sync ? you can make vlc syny that, and right, deeper look in mencoders options [15:46] geekfreak: I can delemte many thing from Downloads [15:46] sync* [15:46] DasEi: how to do that? [15:46] :) [15:46] researcher1: Okay, "rm " and delete some from downloads. You can do "ls -lh" to list file sizes. [15:46] join/ #ubuntu-es [15:47] kwtm: can i delete it from GUI? [15:47] ubuntunewbie: vlc > extras > second item [15:47] socram: /join #channel :-) [15:47] researcher1: Sure. It's just sometimes the GUI chokes ... oh, wait, the GUI's going to stick it in Trash, isn't it? [15:47] researcher1: Is there a command, like, "empty the trash can" or something? (I use KDE, so I have a different system.) [15:47] kwtm:then after delete I will empty trash. Is it ok? [15:48] kwtm: nope, and CAREful with rm, gone forever it is [15:48] researcher1: Why don't you empty trash now? [15:48] ok [15:48] I emptied trash [15:48] researcher1: Unless your trash is already empty (and you're still at 0 bytes!) [15:48] researcher1 : rm is gone w/o trash, might need sudo for it on some files [15:48] how to remove the gdm splash screen? the one showing up after you type in your name and pass a screen showing "ubuntu" just like the OS splash. it's really taking a while [15:49] researcher1: what does "df -h /" say now? Any more availble space? [15:49] how do I configure kwin in gnome? [15:49] ubuntunewbie: found it ? [15:49] let me past again [15:49] DasEi: I tested now , === ubuntu is now known as user0 [15:49] yeh [15:50] DasEi: Now I am converting , will give you an reply later :) [15:50] It says /dev/sda7 92G 92G 0 100% / [15:50] tobi__: I suspect that kwin in GNOME is probably advanced enough that you need to google the forums. Probably won't get that much help here in #ubuntu. Try #kubuntu? But probably web. [15:50] avaialbe 0 usage 100% [15:50] DasEi: using amd 2.0 ghz slow processor. [15:50] researcher1 delete any stuff which aint imp. [15:50] DasEi: btw , what processor you are using ? [15:50] hello [15:50] researcher1: Okay, so trash was already empty. Yeah, go delete something, and then empty trash after you verified that you really want it gone. Find something big and useless. [15:50] from Downloads? [15:51] ok [15:51] yep [15:51] researcher1: from downloads, or wahtever. [15:51] researcher1 you can move some stuff to ur pen drive too [15:51] hi, does anyone know anything about jard disks getting too hot? [15:51] hard* [15:51] I might have to go soon. [15:51] how can I have multiple desktops on a notebook with vga output ??? [15:51] I've done the unthinkable and lost my home partition when the karmic installer tried to change it to ext4. It was formatted, is there any way it can be recovered? [15:51] what does "toggle redirect" window management in compiz does? [15:52] ubuntunewbie: mystic heater, nah about same , hints for mencoder research : http://hubpages.com/hub/1001-mencoder-tips [15:52] blackxored: Where do you see this option? [15:52] Im doing deleting then emptying trash [15:52] soreau, on Extra WM Actions [15:52] researcher1 kool [15:53] jakubo: never had that problem, you can monitor their temps if you like [15:53] soreau, the window screen shows my background but does anything else [15:53] researcher1: as said above, rm really kills, doesn't move to trash [15:53] DasEi: thanks , ! , trying now [15:54] is there an openoffice chan? [15:54] is is possible to setup multiple monitors to not expand my monitor, and to show a different workspace instead? [15:54] soreau, did you see it?? [15:54] ccmonster: #openoffice.org [15:54] Hey, new user here, and I am trying to instal Qmmp from ubuntu software center but it says "Requires installation of untrusted packages"...What do I do? Allow it to install untrusted packages?What riscs are there if I allow? [15:54] ubuntunewbie: it would be nicer, not to have the relatively slow vlc do it each tie on a new box, mmh [15:54] time* [15:54] not sure if this is the right place to ask.. but is it possible to set a broadcast address for loopback ethernet interface? [15:54] blackxored: it dosent really work that way. [15:54] pici you are fast :) [15:54] Dr_Willis: howdy [15:55] Dr_Willis, I can't do anything about it ??? [15:55] it's ugly [15:55] does anyone know anything about heting problems? [15:55] heating* [15:55] New user here, I have a password question if anyone can help me?? [15:55] blackxored: it dosent really work that way with workspaces.. so not really. You could run 2 X sessions , one on each monitor if you wanted to.. but i dont see the point in it. [15:55] and rather cumbersome, since I want to run qemu on full screen or seamless virtualization on a second workspace *and* monitor [15:55] jakubo: problem aint related to ubuntu :) [15:55] blackxored: i dont really see any reason to want differnt workspaces on different monitors either [15:56] Dr_Willis, see up [15:56] howelld: Don't ask to ask, just ask :) [15:56] i guess, but still someone might know anything [15:56] blackxored: funny expression in that request, either you stretch or you clone [15:56] jakubo: try #b&q :) [15:56] jakubo: Try ##hardware [15:56] k [15:56] thx [15:56] DasEi, sorry? [15:56] blackxored: i find twinview works very well for me. with one big desktop across 3 monitors. [15:56] When I log on, a box pops up and says to enter a password for network manager applet. How do I disable that? [15:57] Dr_Willis, that's for nvidia [15:57] howelld: did you change your acount password? [15:57] No i haven't changed anything.. [15:57] can I disable CPU Frequency Scaling? [15:57] howelld: you set a blank password in the apps -> accessories -> password and keys.. tool. [15:57] blackxored: you can stretch your desk in two different workspaces [15:57] It never lets my CPU run at 100% and things are going clunky atm. [15:57] and how do you exactly do that?? [15:57] howelld: check the right click menus in that tool for a 'change password' item. you use it.. enter old password.. then just blank for the new one [15:58] geekphreak can i pm you? [15:58] ok thanks, let me try that. [15:58] any ldap users here? I'm having trouble with ldap in ubuntu 9.10, i get an Invalid Credentials (49) when i issue "ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W olcDatabase=hdb olcAccess" [15:58] !dualhead | blackxored [15:58] blackxored: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [15:58] kcw12: 1 sec [15:58] Hey all, is there a way in 9.10 to have the middle mouse button paste use the gnome clipboard [15:58] blackxored : nvidia ? [15:58] rather than x [15:59] geekfreak,DasEi:Yes I did it under your most valuable guidance [15:59] scottder: install one of the clipboard manager tools that exist.. theuy can sync the clipboard and selection buffers [15:59] scottder: I dont think so, afaik that can be done only with a clipboard manager [15:59] researcher1: apt running again ?

[16:02] scottder: i think theres only like 4 in thepackage manager.. try them out [16:02] Ok, thanks [16:02] So I couldn't even get NetworkManager to show up in the panel, I found out that "sudo xfce4-session" actually does work. I'm in root's xfce4 account now apparently, though most of the stuff is my own [16:02] erUSUL, Maybe if I change the repository I download from the problem would be resolved? [16:02] yo! [16:03] yo yo [16:03] Dr_Willis: DasEi: thanks [16:03] dum : kinda program ? services needed ? interactive ?

[16:15] When prompted for [Y/n], the capital letter is the default if you just push enter, right? [16:15] dalton2345: nope [16:16] dalton2345: you will have to use ubuntu cd, to install grub back [16:16] pop2: just hit enter a few dozen times.. and set a password.. :) [16:16] dalton2345: ubuntu partition will be still there [16:16] Dr_Willis I did :P [16:16] pop2: then its added.

[16:21] hmm [16:21] pop2: in short.. theres a LOT more to 'sudo' then 'a command you use to get root access' :) [16:22] hmm, #xubuntu is dead.

My one also has only 'control' [17:55] o-brown its build in? sata or ide i think? [17:55] o-brown: that can be a problem. - I had a laptop where only the sd slot worked.. but a release of ubuntu later it started working with the other slots as well. [17:55] sipior: true. :P [17:55] sipior: is it possible to symlink, then, to /dev/null? [17:55] o-brown: it can depend on what chipset thelaptop is using. I found it wasier to just track down a $5 usb multi-card reader to carry around [17:56] theadmin maybe its because im using encrypted partitions with dm-crypt [17:56] sipior: so if I move something to that symlink, it sends it to /dev/null? [17:56] Trek: actually, /dev should be managed only by udevd, nothing else. But as per symlinking to files in /dev it is no prob [17:56] Trek: try it and find out. [17:56] k0nata: Ah yeah, dmcrypt/truecrypt do put stuff there [17:56] Dr_Willis: yes I think that will be the best solution [17:57] k0nata: ok thanks for the help [17:58] o-brown youre welcome [17:59] I wonder when the final 10.4 LTS is coming out.

[18:35] jbwiv: You didn't but i had a problem and the solution said to pass params to the kernel (to do with gfx and the amount of ram and some glitch in the kernel) and i didn't know how to do that :P [18:35] QueenZ, latest from Karmic apt though [18:35] oal: keepassx is first-rate. [18:36] sipior: Secure? [18:36] jbwiv: i see, i would recommend installing an older version then, the one of 9.04 works [18:36] oal: i'm not sure how it would be first-rate otherwise... [18:36] sipior: Haha, ok, I'll try it :) [18:36] jbwiv: how did you install 9.10? did you do a distro upgrade or a clean install?

[18:38] however, it was happening on the older kernels too [18:38] QueenZ, memtest86 doesn't find any issue with the ram [18:38] so I'm left wondering what to hit next [18:38] jbwiv: if you don't know how to install an older version of kernel you can install 9.04 and do a distro upgrade, then choose an older kernel from the grub menu [18:39] <|sqwertle|> I removed ubuntu from my machine yesterday and lost grub, and have no way to boot windows again.

[19:21] peterPPP, nix the newaliases, that's a mail thing. [19:22] does ubuntu also offer cd/dvd (image) sets which include universe and multiverse, so you won't need an internet connection and still have access to all the packages you'd want?

[19:27] h0dg3s: you have to do chmod +x NAME on it [19:28] tobiash: try compiz fusion icon [19:28] h0dg3s: Then you give the rights to execute it [19:28] tobiash: apt-get install fusion-icon [19:28] Pici: thanks [19:28] progre55 I've got it, but it logs in with metacity always [19:28] Masteredu: Thanks [19:28] tobaish.why dont u use compiz instead. it can do taskbar previews [19:28] kwin is marked as enabled, but metacity is running anyway [19:28] h0dg3s: youre welcome [19:29] what directory can i fined installed apps? [19:29] compiz is not stable, and has problems with games [19:29] tobiash: try killall metacity && kwin --replace in a terminal, and then make for this an entry in the autostart list. [19:29] kwin is more mature than compiz [19:29] tobiash: hmm.. did you try running fusion-icon and changing the windows manager from it? [19:29] so disable compix wjile playing? [19:29] z [19:29] progre55 read what I've wrote [19:30] tobiash: do you allready tried it, to kill metacity and the kwin --replace option? [19:30] what directory can i fined installed apps? [19:30] Masteredu going to try now [19:30] lo [19:30] tobiash: good [19:30] hi all [19:30] ratdog: it gives many directorys [19:30] ratdog Application Menu [19:31] google earth [19:31] ok [19:31] ratdog: system> administration> synaptec packet manager [19:31] does anyone knows a graffiti theme?? [19:31] how can i find whether kernel installed on my 64-bit ubuntu is PAE or non-PAE kernel? [19:31] ratdog: most programms that are not important are located in /usr but use instead of this bether the synaptec package manager [19:31] its installed already [19:31] !fhs | ratdog [19:31] ratdog: 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 [19:31] ratdog if you want to see files you can go to /usr/share [19:31] ty.. [19:32] Good day all, have you guys seen a case where the hdd is at 100% used but after deleting a substantial amount of data it still shows 100% used? [19:32] uname -ars gives 2.6.31-20-generic x86_64 [19:32] brontos: empty your trash =) [19:32] brontos: empty trash ? [19:32] kazaa_lite: helps that you? [19:32] <^paradox^> ok small problem. a person downloaded one of my zip files that was created with archive manager and claimed the password didnt work. he was typing it right and i doubled checked it. why would this be? [19:32] Masteredu: The script runs sudo apt-get and then a list of programs. If I paste it into a terminal it works fine, but the script says No such file or directory. Any ideas? [19:32] Masteredu: does not make sense to me:( [19:32] ^paradox^: does it work for you? [19:33] progre55, erUSUL I should also mention this is a headless machine that is done via rm through ssh [19:33] how can i record videos in linux? record the desktop with the taskbars 2 [19:33] <^paradox^> jrib: yes with no problems [19:33] progre55, erUSUL or will it still collect in trash? [19:33] h0dg3s: ehm what script? [19:33] ^paradox^: version issue or pebkac [19:33] Masteredu: I made one to grab the dependancies for Chromeos [19:33] kazaa_lite: do you tried uname -a? [19:33] *chromiumos [19:34] brontos: ook... then there is a problem :) . bad disk or amother filesystem error; sometimes a fsck frees up the space [19:34] so, I manually compiled the alsa driver and now my volume control does not have any effect on the volume. even if I mute it. btw, karmic 64bit. any suggestions, please? [19:34] brontos: dunno if you can afford a fsck on the machine [19:34] h0dg3s: when it says that a directory is not found, the path is wrong [19:34] <^paradox^> jrib: i dont think he was using archive manager [19:34] h0dg3s: in the script [19:34] Masteredu: this is what I mentioned.... it gives 2.6.31-20-generic x86_64... does that mean it is non-PAE kernel? [19:34] I think I put too much crap in one line. It looked right in notepad++ but in gedit it's multiple lines [19:34] <^paradox^> i think he was windows or mac [19:35] Masteredu it works but I need to restart kwin from fusion icon anyway because, there is no window decoration :/ [19:35] kazaa_lite: it is 64 bits ; there is no need for pae [19:35] Masteredu at the start [19:35] kazaa_lite: is PAE standard included? [19:35] erUSUL: so PAE is issue of 32-bit and non 64-bit? [19:36] tobi: then you can maybe make before this an entry for fusion icon in the autostart list ? [19:36] hey guys, is it possible to mount an external hard drive (or any drive) via command line without using sudo? I don't want to use sudo b/c I don't want to mess up the permissions [19:36] kazaa_lite: yes [19:36] erUSUL: cool:D [19:36] ^paradox^: you should verify with a third-party [19:36] <^paradox^> jrib: i forgot others have successfully opened unprotected zips of mine if it matters [19:36] this terminal stuff is cool, it says i can set hardware modes. [19:36] M4rotku: you can use "devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdxx" [19:36] Masteredu: Does that mean I should have something other than #!/bin/bash at the top? [19:37] M4rotku: mounting is allways posible as root [19:37] ^paradox^: I would give the same file to someone else and see if it works for them. Also, have this user check the md5sum [19:37] Masteredu it works fine except for title bar not being shown xD I need to restart kwin from fusion icon every time :/ [19:37] <^paradox^> jrib: i would if any my friends were on [19:38] hi friends , i have setup a machine as PXE server ... ( windows ) ....but i dont want a net install - i have a iso file [19:38] please someone enlighten how I can achieve this [19:38] h0dg3s: #! /bin/bash is right, but i use a space for this , i mean between ! and the / [19:39] h0dg3s: jeah it is right [19:39] still doesn't find it :( [19:39] h0dg3s: it must an other thing be [19:39] I need to bind a proxy so nslookup can use it, how would I go about doing so? [19:39] h0dg3s: use pastebin [19:39] thanks erUSUL [19:39] M4rotku: no problem [19:39] h0dg3s: to post your script [19:40] <^paradox^> jrib: the archive was created on my external hard drive and uploaded to a file host from there. would that make any difference? [19:40] h0dg3s: and what exactly you are typing when you try to run it [19:40] ^paradox^: nope [19:41] ^paradox^: does the md5sum he gave you match yours? [19:41] h0dg3s: the standard syntax is ./NAME , but only when you are in the right directory [19:41] Mastredu: http://pastebin.com/puqDyGYK === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [19:41] Hello I installed Ettercap on my computer , when i start Ettercap using the next command : sudo ettercap -G i get the following message : Dissector "dns" not supported (etter.conf line 70) what does it mean ? how can i fix that ?

[20:56] hey chaps.... i've just upgraded to 9.10 and now my screensaver comes on during VLC fullscreen movie viewing? i've done a fair amount of googling but can't find any one consensus on howto solve the problem. the most likley looking solution has been to upgrade to vlc from a non-ubuntu repo?

[20:58] Masteredu: I'm using v4l2, so when I launch skype i use that env .. command [20:58] ubuntu: so the SSID hasn't changed neither has any router settings since your network manager/wicd switchover?

Where is the best place to ask this, this channel, or ...? [22:06] What can I use to do a whole screen zoom in kubuntu?

[22:11] is desktop zoom not possible without compiz? [22:11] ihaveitnow: x is extract, v is verbose, z is unzip, f is do this to the file mentioned next. zxvf is all of them, xf is just extract this file. [22:11] @jetienne : Maybe im not understanding the meaning of verbose [22:11] progre55, pulseaudio is already enabled and default on ubuntu... [22:11] ihaveitnow: verbose = a lot more details for the human to see [22:11] ihaveitnow: verbose - show progress while extracting [22:12] !pulseaudio [22:12] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [22:12] maginot: well, I removed it =) [22:12] and ou can remove pulseaudio if you want sound :) [22:12] progre55, install again with apt-get ... [22:12] ihaveitnow: tar is usually able to guess that you need to do unzip first, so you can usually drop the z parameter. Which is why tar xf works on .tar.bz2, .tar.gz and just .tar files.

When I install it again, it doesnt work, because maybe alsa is taking over or smth [22:14] What is the site that lets us share large sections of text with each other? [22:14] maginot: for instance mplayer plays files, but no sound, but when I specify -ao alsa, it works okay [22:14] sorry, can't help with custom setups... you should know what you were doing when you manually replaced something [22:14] can ffmpeg only be used for audio, or can it be used to exctract audio from video too? (although I doubt it, I just have to ask) [22:14] ownlife, pastebin.com [22:14] bjarkef, thanks!

I just typed the code : tar -zxvf php-5.3.2.tar.gz : in the terminal. saw a bunch of things happen...No errors.

Wine says its supposed to work, but I am unable to get it to run. It will install and uninstall, I have it in Win 98 mode. It starts, and then the window dissapears.

I would like to access files from computer A from computer B, and also the opposite of that. Im sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff, any links to GOOD tutorials for noobs on SSH? [22:18] @bjarkef: No...I dont think so. I cd'd into the proper directory. and ran the tar -zxvf code on the php download. Then code came up. And now it wont configure [22:18] @bjarkef: No such file or directory [22:19] ihaveitnow, do a "ls", find the name of the directory, which probably is php-5.3.2, and do a "cd php-5.3.2". === ownlife is now known as ownlife_afk [22:20] @bjarkef: yeah, I see the directory listed. So I just cd there, and run the configure again right? Will keep you updated if thats no problem [22:20] Hi, I have 9.10 and I went on gnome-look.org to find themes, but I don't know what category to search under.. gtk, metacity, compiz? [22:20] Grub is loading ubuntu without giving me the option to load windows, can anyone help me?

[22:22] @bjarkef: Gave me an error...Saying libxml2 not found. But when I :apt-get install libxml2: it says its at the most recent version... [22:22] ihaveitnow, exactly. Sorry, would be no problem, but I have to run. Somebody else here can take over if necessary, but you should be able to follow any php compilation guide from there. [22:22] ihaveitnow, you probably need libxml2-dev [22:23] @bjarkef:will do, thanks again [22:23] mkquist: please elaborate. Hwo do I connect two computers without SSH? [22:23] wizard_: are they on a network? [22:24] Hi, anyone use ARISTA TRANSCODER? [22:24] mkquist: no. They both get wired internet from the same router, but they are not networked to share files. I want to connect via the internet to the other machine. SSH is what I need help with. [22:24] blindx: what do you mean? [22:24] ihaveitnow, You always need the -dev package variant, they contain the extra "stuff" that is necessary for manually compilation against. And you probably will need quite a few for compilation of php, but you will get the names one by one when you try to redo the ./configure [22:24] I have choosen what i want but nothing happen [22:24] no play or execute [22:24] Hi, i've got a Ubuntu 9.10 Problem.

[22:25] THERE'S A WIZARD? [22:25] Any ideas? [22:25] blindx: I have had for a few weeks now [22:25] @amos: im doing it so I can understand the coding behind linux and be a better programmer. And id like to become apart of the community through interactions. So I dont mind it. Thanks for the recommendation though [22:26] oh, i only asked cause i thought you said you just installed the live cd [22:26] ihaveitnow: np [22:26] blindx: I installed Grub with the install CD [22:26] ohhhh [22:26] wizard_: have you tried - in terminal "shares-admin"?

[22:27] sorry skuzzel :D [22:27] wizard_: controls shares on computer [22:28] mqueiros: do both computers need the packages needed for shares-admin installed? [22:28] amos: I'm fairly certain I didn't [22:28] amos: I think that's the problem, [22:28] ok... i've never worked with minux really, so here's a silly question [22:28] wizard_: its installed by default i believe, for ubuntu anyway [22:29] why don't the executables have a file extension? [22:29] amos: how do I do that? [22:29] i'm trying to run a program i just compiled from console, but i can't seem to do it [22:29] drd_ executable is a property set with permissions, not file extensions [22:29] skuzzel: when u boot ur pc, does it show a menu with a list of options or it just boots straight into ubutnu [22:29] mkquist: thats not what I asked. I asked if both PCs need the EXTRA packages that shares-admin installs. [22:29] amos: strait into ubuntu [22:29] wizard_: both linux machines? === Mazeal is now known as Smoodo [22:30] mkquist: yes.

[22:30] skuzzel: what win is it ? xp ? [22:31] amos: yep [22:31] how can i run that from the console and see what the output is on exit? [22:31] mkquist: why would I want to share with windows?

[23:33] Status: yes [23:33] if you want to conduct polls do it in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:33] jrib: by ip i mean the box's ip on WAN, and locally i meant trying to do ssh firstUser@WANip from the box itself [23:33] hello guys does anyone use avast linux edition and has been crashing lately? engine failure? I have a FIX FOR IT. let me know [23:34] chelz I got windows7 on raid (pci-express card 2 sata drives) and ubuntu on an ide drive (connected the the board) [23:34] biston: you need to have your router forward port 22 to your machine, then try from the window's machine again [23:34] my problem is getting windows7 to boot... [23:34] I found something online about having to map grub but since ubuntu uses the latest grub version...commands are different... [23:34] jrib: as i said, that is WAN ip, accessible from anywhere [23:35] real ip [23:35] biston: yes, I read that [23:35] mkquist can you show me your conf? [23:35] biston: is your computer not behind a router? [23:35] jrib: nope [23:35] I'm wondering if there's a way to set the initial brightness of GDM.

[23:36] jrib: yes, the box is not at my house, it's at the company, i'm accessing it thru IPKVM [23:36] biston: I'm not familiar with what IPKVM is but if you can connect locally, that means it's some sort of network issue [23:37] biston: does ipkvm imply some sort of firewall? [23:37] biston: nah, i'm writin something, let me just finish that [23:38] jrib: there are no routers/proxies/filters separating this box from the ISP, it had CentOS 20 minutes ago, and it was doing fine, this is what we call a test box, and i am just learning my way in to ubuntu [23:38] jrib: heh i just replied to myself, sorry [23:38] jrib ipkvm is just like using a regular kvm but using an ethernet cable instead of the regular kvm one (or the internet) [23:38] Status: I see, thank you [23:39] jrib: ubuntu has iptables too, right? how to disable these? [23:39] biston: nothing more than installing openssh-server is required to be able to connect through ssh. Did you try to ssh as firstuser remotely? (iirc root is not allowed to ssh by default). Ubuntu has no iptables rules set by default (check with « sudo iptables -L ») [23:40] man..over a thousand people on this thing..and nobody has ubuntu+windows7? :/ [23:41] i have ubuntu and windows [23:41] jrib: openssh-server is already installed of course, true iptables are all accept for INPUT, and i'm not even getting to the stage where i can pick my username. connection is refused, not even the login headers appear on putty [23:41] Status: have you tried updating grub yet? === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [23:41] it gives me a option to boot win 7 or ubuntu [23:41] Eighteens can you show me your conf?

[23:42] but it gets into ubuntu about 51% of install gives me a error, and then fails, and goes to live cd [23:42] Status: are you trying to manually add i windows 7? [23:42] jrib: just imagine you're doing 'ssh ' instead of 'ssh @' [23:42] mkquist doesn't work [23:42] GUYS IF you USE AVAST linux edition and after the recent updated it crashed with you " engine failure" I HAVE a FIX follow my thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9090501#post9090501 [23:42] Status: ic [23:43] biston: ssh would connect as "jrib" then [23:43] that's why I need a regular example of it..so then I can try my own way into the raid thingy [23:43] jrib: hmm never tried that one to be honest, let me go into another linux box and try [23:44] jrib: ssh: connect to host *.*.*.* port 22: Connection refused, same thing [23:45] jrib: i think i'll reinstall openssh-server and see what happens [23:45] biston: it's not going to change anything [23:45] that worked... [23:46] installing the ati drivers worked, and the guest extensions(or whatever that's called) still works :) [23:46] jrib: oh wow, i removed it, and coming to install it again, it said it needed to download 212 mb. i believe some files were corrupted on installation cd [23:47] I have the following question, i am very please with the help of this IRC that i have recieve since my windows cleint copies a folder into the ubuntu server every using rsync and Cron. what i would like to know if there is a way to aboid shring my wiindows fodler with everybody?

[23:52] jrib: i know ey, that's what driving me crazy [23:52] javy: and what do you need to edit? [23:52] the grub list ..ubuntu appears like 10 times [23:53] yofel: each time ubuntu updates, it hadd a new row in the grub [23:53] javy edit the file and delete the entries... [23:53] i need the pad or the terminal command [23:53] path*** [23:53] ubuntu keeps adding entries so you have to remove it manually... [23:53] javy: if the entries have different version numbers then those a different kernels installed [23:53] http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=32483 <-- is there any reason that cron file should fail to run the second command? It runs fine when run on its own [23:53] javy sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:54] Status: that's not menu.lst, and grub.cfg is NOT meant to be edited [23:54] javy: just remove the old kernels you don't use anymore [23:54] yofel grub.cfg is the file loaded by grub on ubuntu.. [23:55] KenBW2: That second commands gets run every 60 seconds? [23:55] menu.lst doesn't even exist on the latest version... [23:55] biston: did you do anything else other than install ssh? [23:55] ardchoille: correct [23:55] so either menu.lst grub.conf or grub.cfg [23:55] ok [23:55] that's the file he needs to edit and delete those entries [23:55] Status: no, it would be better to just remove the old, unused kernels [23:55] jrib: just apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [23:55] Status: yes, but menu.lst is grub1 and grub.cfg is grub2, so we need to know what he's using, and if he even needs to edit it [23:56] jrib is there a GUI for network config on ubuntu server ? [23:56] jrib I dont have old kernels..and each time I update grub with the automatic tool it adds entries to it.. [23:56] the same stuff that, that's already there [23:56] and I have to always go there and remove it manually... [23:56] as jrib mentioned, it's better to remove unused kernels.. that will update grub and keep the system clean [23:56] so yeah..he needs to edit that file if he's having the same problem [23:56] Status: please note that grub.cfg is always deleted and created new when update-grub is run [23:56] Status: I didn't tell you to remove old kernels, it was for javy [23:56] jrib or if you would be kind to guide me where would my net conf files be on ubuntu [23:56] jrib: thankd [23:57] yofel nop [23:57] Status: so your changes to grub.cfg will always be overwritten [23:57] KenBW2: did you forget a final newline? [23:57] !grub2 [23:57] its parsed...the entries in there are saved..and its recreated with new ones [23:57] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:57] jrib: found them, nvm [23:57] jrib: no - the same file works fine on my karmic PC [23:57] does anyone know of a good project management software for Ubuntu? [23:58] KenBW2: did you install subversion? install an mta and check for mail for cron or redirect the output somewhere and check it [23:58] jrib: if i run the command outside of cron it works fine [23:58] Status: no it's not, update-grub runs grub-mkconfig and just redirects the output to grub.cfg, grub.cfg is never read, unless you messed with the grub scripts [23:58] yofel: its doesnt let me save [23:58] its says is only read file [23:58] jrib: thanks for the help, i'll carry on with this tomorrow, it's 2 AM, need some sleep [23:58] javy: do NOT edit grub.cfg [23:59] biston: night, good luck [23:59] thanks mate [23:59] yofel try it for yourself... ;] [23:59] biston: remember to connect with first user though, root is definitely not allowed to ssh by default [23:59] yofel: :( so what im gonna do? [23:59] grub will not remove the default ones... [23:59] javy: editing grub.cfg is NOT the way to do that [23:59] we'll see about that [23:59] !grub2 | javy [23:59] javy: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:59] Status: I'm an ubuntu alpha tester and I had my share of debugging grub issues, so I know how it works [23:59] adios [23:59] but will add the same ones in there... as ubuntu kernel so and so.. (on sdc whatever)
