You edit the /etc/default/grub file [00:00] i get these errors when trying to compile something that uses glfw: [00:00] (.text+0x76a): undefined reference to `XRRFreeScreenConfigInfo' [00:01] /usr/lib/libglfw.a(x11_window.o): In function `_glfwPlatformCloseWindow': [00:01] javy: if you have lines like Ubuntu 2.6.31-16... then 2.6.31-19 ... just remove the older linux images from synaptic (but not the newest one) but they don't take much space so I wouldn't worry that much about it [00:01] could that be a problem with conflicting versions of the actual library files? [00:01] drd: missing library, or a missing linking declaration on the compile [00:01] hmm [00:01] yofel that isn't a fix...the tool shouldn't be adding them in the first place.. [00:02] yofel: lets see what can i do [00:02] drd: or a function missing from the library you are using (so yeah, version issues) [00:02] hi guys, so i am using 10.04 beta, and I think i messed up in 9.10 but installing either a wrong package or somethign trying to get my iphone to work [00:02] can someone help me to get it to mount again [00:02] http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=483193 [00:02] ok, that's probably it... i don't know if anyone has taken the liberty of updating the headers since the last glfw update [00:02] Status: it will add all kernels that are installed on a system, older kernels are not removed so you don't get an unbootable system if a new kernel installation fails (I should ask the devs though why we need to keep all of them...)

[00:09] hiexpo: rephrase that question plz [00:09] I have two systems with almost identical /etc/network/interfaces, and the DNS server is set up properly in /etc/resolv.conf. One has external access, the other does not. What other conf files could possibly keep my system from connecting? [00:09] so what is the deal with initramfs...? [00:10] how do i add a solution to a problem in ubuntu forums? [00:10] i wanna right a fix [00:10] hiexpo: just reply to the thread and add your comment [00:10] there is no thread on it yet so i want to create one [00:11] hiexpo: ok, then create a thread. #ubuntuforums can help you more [00:11] jrib, ok thanks i will look i am in the site now [00:11] so is this laptop worthless now?

How can I set that every new created file to be available to all the other users with rwe permissions? umask, acl, what is the right place to look for? TIA [00:12] i3inary: what's wrong with initramfs? I am not following [00:12] hi [00:13] this laptop was working fine then all the sudden it started booting into initramfs. the user...my wife said she may have run updates before shutting it down last. [00:13] daniel1988: yes, those are your two options. Either setgid on the folder and give every user a umask that gives rwx permissions to the group or use ACLs [00:13] Can having VirtualHost's have something to do with Apache trying to download php instead of parsing it? [00:14] i3inary: what does "booting into initramfs" mean? [00:14] Is there a special configuration? [00:14] xiven: did you read the link ubottu gave you? [00:14] i just don't seem to find the create a thread link ?

Does anything go wrong? [00:14] oh ok sorry [00:14] xiven: and the results? [00:15] it means i have a prompt not an operating system and the prompt says initramfs. i dont know what it means or why i am getting it [00:15] Hi, I was wondering if you guys could help me understand what problems are going on, and not only how to fix them. Right now I'm having a lot of trouble with Pulseaudio after the most recent update. I still have garbled sound in 10.04 beta live cd. Also, after last said update, my notification panel now has icons missing. When I try to minimize a program to the notification area, it no longer shows up. What would do this? Why exact [00:15] ly? [00:16] ok, someone else was having a similar problem, and i don't exactly understand what this means: [00:16] The result of "route -n" is different on the two machines. How do I make sure a route is being properly added, conf-file wise? === blueghost is now known as No17Day [00:16] try making a symlink to the lib in /usr/lib, somthing like "ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.a /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.a" [00:16] So far, nothing. [00:16] Hello. In the Pulse Audio volume control I can see activity for "ALSA plugin [gnome-panel" when a system sound plays, but; where can I specifiy the audio device to use when playing back that sound? Have multiple cards..and everything else plays correctly except those system sounds. [00:16] I have the same setup the wiki instructs for [00:17] jrib: setgid? you mean chgrp? setgid isn't available [00:17] This isn't the first time I've setup a LAMP system [00:17] xiven: see if your php works without the virtualhost you created then [00:17] daniel1988: I mean setgid [00:17] i have /usr/lib open, but i have no idea which file to put that line in... [00:17] I've setup a LAMP a few times..but no where I have learned to look has solved the issue [00:17] Hmm [00:18] xiven: I can guarantee you that if you follow the steps on the wiki with a default LAMP install as described there, your php will work [00:18] voilá [00:18] just got it to work :D [00:18] xiven: if you confirm that and it doesn't work for your vhost, then it's something with your vhost's configuration [00:18] i3inary: Does it say something before that, like "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init."? [00:18] On top of all the other problems Im having with Ubuntu, does anyone know how I can get my damn phone to be automounted properly [00:19] is OpenShot video editor in karmic? I dont see it in add/remove programs [00:19] It does not work with even the server itself [00:19] xiven: then you did not follow the steps on the wiki [00:19] !who | xiven [00:19] xiven: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:19] ffs [00:19] jrib: got it, thank you! [00:20] daniskami: yes it says ALERT!! /dev/disck/by-uuid/*UUID HERE* does not exist dropping into a shell! then it says busybox 1.12.3 and (initramfs)_ [00:20] What's a good linux RSS reader bot for IRC? [00:21] Are my devices not automounting related to the fact that xdg-open went and ...ahemed... itself on my system? [00:21] i3inary: does it really say *UUID HERE*? That just sounds wrong, something seems to have messed with a config file [00:22] daniskami: no it has the UUID in that place. its just long and i didnt feel like typing it [00:22] i3inary: ah ok :) [00:22] Is tasksel supposed to bring up a blue info screen and then disappear/shutdown quickly without saying anything? [00:22] Ohh wait...I probably will have to remove apache2, php5, php5 mod first [00:23] its just really hard to get anything done with ubuntu always having problems and im kinda frustrated. [00:23] xiven: no, but you don't have to run tasksel. Just read the troubleshooting steps and make sure you have the packages it says you need [00:23] it's weird that i can't save files i opened with gedit, but i can with kate [00:24] I have my gateway set in /etc/network/interfaces, but a default route is not being created for it. What's going on? [00:24] ls [00:24] lol, damn it [00:25] drd: #ubuntu: command not found: lol, [00:25] is there a place to specify the audio device used for gnome-panel..? [00:25] hah [00:25] Hold on..I did something stupid [00:26] Getting too frustrated, not thinking right [00:26] jrib just in case someone asks about windows7 on raid + ubuntu on another drive...the problem is that ubuntu won't recognize the windows drive... in my case it was setting the wrong uuid...so blkid get the id from the drive and add it manually (also fix up the root partition on the menuentry) and add the module chain for chainloader to work (insmod chain) just below the ntfs one... [00:26] Status: might catch more eyes on the wiki [00:27] Is there a way to set the initial brightness of the login screen? [00:27] jrib I don't use ubuntu..so could care less.. about actually going there to edit it ;] [00:27] Status: ok [00:27] it's for a friend...and gave me more probs than whatever his hardware ;] [00:27] Status: you might want to file a bug for this. [00:28] dragon you're welcome to do it for me.. ;] [00:29] dragon and this isn't a bug with grub..because grub works fine...it's the scripts that automagically set it up [00:30] Status: I can see that you're trying to help out those who might encounter this in future. Only if you care enough to copy-paste what you typed here, you'd *actually* be of some help. [00:30] Umm...you can have more then one VHost enabled at once can't you? [00:30] xiven yes [00:30] Status: Filing a bug doesn't take more than 2 minutes, but I'm sure you can never find a person here to do it for you. [00:31] Can anyone help me fix automounting devices, or why xdg-open has stopped working (again). I'm really sick of these things breaking and I'm tired of GNOME simply regressing. Ubuntu is losing it these days [00:32] dragon I couldnt even find a person to paste me a conf asides from jrib which ended up being of no help anyhow... having over a thousand people...meanwhile I even explained how to do a cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg for anyone that actually didn't know how to copy it... [00:32] magn3ts: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [00:32] i3inary: maybe there's a problem with your GRUB config after a kernel update... can you choose older kernels in the GRUB menu? [00:32] Like, how can I debug my devices not auto mounting. Or xdg-open not working (Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream")? [00:34] Had this strange issue with a toshiba laptop [00:35] exit [00:35] It boots the install CD to the boot menu but when i hit enter screen goes blank and cursor just blinks for all eternity [00:36] OldFarter, you try with another cd ? [00:37] After numerous attempts it finally installs using some "safe mode install" or whatever that option was called. [00:37] aguitel, several [00:37] join #buddha [00:37] After installing it wont boot regular way.... cursor just blinks after the boot menu [00:37] OldFarter, video problem it seems [00:37] recoverymode works [00:38] magn3ts: what ubuntu version? [00:38] thats what i thouth [00:38] thought [00:38] So i finally through recoverymode boot manage to get gdm cranking and log in [00:39] open firefox and it locks up [00:39] Hi, what is the best way of sending a file to "trash" from the command line? [00:39] rm file [00:39] aar: gvfs-trash [00:39] aar: I assume by "trash" you mean the trash bin you see on your desktop [00:39] Okay, I've gone through the wiki page, and the error still isn't solved. [00:39] xiven: you are using the default vhost? [00:39] i flip to virtual terminal1 and witness a bunch of i/o error /dev/sda4 messages roll by [00:40] jrib, 9.10 [00:40] then some ext fs journaling error [00:40] Yes, and it prompts for download [00:40] jrib, yes, that's what I needed. Thanks [00:40] I have made a critical mistake I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on one of my drives with windows now I cannot load windows [00:40] magn3ts: weird for xdg-open to just die.

[00:41] You will need to search google on how to add the entry [00:41] How would I go about theming the notification bubble that appears in the upper right area of the desktop? [00:42] OldFarter yes ;] [00:42] OldFarter lol [00:42] anyhow [00:42] I'm installing Ubuntu 9.10 and partitioning my external hard-drive. I am given the option to set the mount-point. I can set it to either windows or dos. What does this mean? [00:42] OldFarter fix up the drive... low-level format...will do..but if you're already getting those errors...won't be long until it borks... [00:43] i have the ATi driver installed, but the dialog wont let me activat it. is there any other way?

[00:53] I control+, being something between m,y,b,a,e,i,s,o,u,h,d,l [00:53] ie if its in fstab [00:54] xiven: after disabling your vhost, restart apache and clear your cache. You probably hit some compiz key, no idea [00:54] Is there a general undo hot-key? [00:54] just use mount and the directory from stab [00:54] I have 100 GB FAT32 partition [00:54] And it checks it every time it boots [00:55] Hmm, all of the themes available seem to be dark [00:56] I already did disable all other vhost's, restarted apache and cleared the cache [00:57] If I go to the localhost direct, it works fine..but when I add a php extension it doesn't.

[01:08] what do I input ? [01:09] I tried to enable it and it told me it was already enabled..

[01:14] !anyone | marca311 [01:14] marca311: 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? [01:15] I should note, that I was able to use it before, then my system crashed (not sure why) and then it stopped mounting, as well as my other USB devices (camera etc) [01:15] jumbers: look into video editing software on ubuntu and see if it supports .3GP [01:15] my totem player and vlc videos keep freezing up for about 10 seconds then keep going [01:15] jumbers, I'm a fan of ffmpeg [01:15] istvan: It does joins? [01:16] istvan: so it may be that the filesystem is fscked up... So there is no important data on there? [01:16] jumbers, yes, just use ffmpeg -i myvid1.avi -i myvid2.avi outputVid.mpeg [01:16] ubottu are you my friend? [01:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:16] Hmm [01:16] LOL [01:16] arand, no, i just re-formatted it. but ubuntu woun't mount any of my usb devices [01:16] lol [01:16] Wtf. I just removed Apache2 and libapache2-mod-php5 and it is still happening [01:17] anyone has experience with mount manager? [01:17] can anyone help me with the netzero deb package i found? [01:17] I just wondered if anyone knows when 10.4 will be released? [01:17] xiven (http://wwitv.com/tv_streams/b4462.asx) this is a link of video stream but it is not playing in vlc player [01:17] minik 28th of april [01:17] 29 april [01:17] Hmm...I just realized the default VHost is set to /var/www/, and all of the other VHost files are set to sub-directories of that. I wonder if the VHost config's are fighting [01:18] istvan: hmm, then I don't know... try running "fsck -p" on them === spartan is now known as spartanii117 [01:18] !lucid > minik [01:18] minik, please see my private message [01:18] where can I get source code to ubottu? [01:18] Ohhh [01:18] A live video stream [01:18] I believe MythTV does that [01:19] If not, MPlayer I am sure plays live streams [01:19] arand, ok, thanks! I'll be back in a few hours to report on my re-reformat, then I will try that. thanks! [01:19] Unless the player has to read JavaScript files [01:20] istvan: Since that is a filesystem check, you'd do that before you reformatted it normally. [01:21] If my START_STICKY Service is in a .wait() for 10 minutes, will that allow the phone to go to sleep (standby?) and then get waken up 10 minutes later? [01:21] let me try my question again [01:21] my totem player and vlc videos keep freezing up for about 10 seconds then keep going [01:21] (im concerned about battery life there) [01:23] does anyone use gnome-ppp [01:23] hi [01:23] when i minimize the window the window is been disappear form lower panel [01:24] how can i resolve this [01:25] maybe I should try my question in a friendlier tone... [01:25] when i minimize the window the window is been disappear form lower panel [01:26] greetings, how are you today? My totem player and vlc videos keep freezing up for about 10 seconds then keep going, if you could help me I would be most delighted! [01:27] PS. I think it might be my video card (Nvidia 4800) [01:27] HOW DO I EXIT A "MAN LD" [01:27] oops, caps [01:27] sorry folks [01:27] PeterT: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:27] marca311 do you use the nvida drivers? [01:27] PeterT: type 'q' [01:27] without any quotes [01:27] How would I go about theming the notification bubble that appears in the upper right area of the desktop? [01:27] Thank you, Mr. tsimpson [01:27] sachse_siechtum: think so [01:28] sachse_siechtum: Is there any other way? [01:28] Why do I get the feeling if I restarted my machine, Apache would parse php [01:28] Configuring dhcp3-server to listen to a bridge (i.e. br0) sometimes results in the former complaining about "No subnet declaration for br0" during bootup. Apparently this is because dhcpd tries to use the bridge before the latter is fully configured. See forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1326100 [01:28] Anyway, apparently this has been going on since at least Hardy, yet I was unable to find any related bugs on Launchpad. Is there any particular reason I shouldn't go ahead and submit a bug against dhcp3? [01:28] marca311 I dunno if it is the drivers...does the freeze repeat over time when whatching a video? [01:29] xiven: is it asking you to download the file rather than parse it? [01:29] hey :) [01:30] xiven: you can reboot JUST apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [01:30] sachse_siechtum: yes [01:30] marca have you tried any other video players? [01:31] sachse_siechtum: the audio keeps going, but video stops [01:31] sachse_siechtum: yes [01:31] benkay86: its not a dhcp3 bug, the thing should not be started until the configuration of the network interfaces has been completed [01:31] marca and the freezing is on any video format (mpg, avi ect) ? [01:32] sachse_siechtum: all I've tried. (lots) [01:32] acicula: So what package is responsible for that? upstart? bridge-utils? [01:32] hmmmm [01:32] sachse_siechtum: indeed [01:32] benkay86: since its a service it should just block until the network interfaces are configured [01:32] so yeah i'd check how its started in upstart? [01:33] its could be a graphics card or a RAM problem... [01:33] I'd do memtest (a prog in GUB menu) and see what it says.. (it looks for RAM defects) [01:33] GRUB [01:34] sachse_siechtum: ram tested recently, fine, I was thinking about getting a new vid card anyway (once I have enough money [01:34] ) [01:34] acicula: Hmmm... looks like its still a sysvinit style service. [01:34] benkay86: not in karmic/lucid [01:34] marca or maybe get an older temp. card for testing [01:34] This is crazy [01:34] xiven: is it asking you to download the file rather than parse it? [01:34] yes!!! [01:35] acicula: I'm running lucid, and there's no dhcp3-server.conf in /etc/init. It's started by /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server. [01:35] xiven: Have you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20PHP%205 [01:35] Only about 6 times [01:35] oh, ok, sorry [01:35] benkay86: yeah, but upstart starts it at some point [01:35] sachse_siechtum: I could try that, give me 10 minutes (ati will work, won't it?) [01:35] acicula: I guess the root of the problem is whatever parses /etc/network/interfaces to configure the bridge is returning before the bridge is actually up. Would you know -- is that bridge-utils? [01:35] marca, I dream that one day they will make a modular graphic card standard for laptops (sigh) [01:35] marca or you could try and deactivate the nvida drivers [01:36] benkay86: dunno, seems likely. [01:36] It's not a missing or disabled module, it's not incorrect config files [01:36] sachse_siechtum: then I can't use the video players due to incorrect drivers or something [01:36] Well maybe [01:36] its: applications: system; hardware drivers [01:37] the mime.conf file didn't have any mention of php whatsoever in it...so I added it near similar statement types [01:37] xiven: ok, kinda sounded like the problem I had and that page helped. [01:37] hmmm [01:37] acicula: Yep, looks like it is. I'll file the bug there. [01:37] sachse_siechtum: hold on, I'll try it again [01:37] well then you could try the ATI card...but before you build it in...disable the nvidia drivers [01:37] ok [01:37] benkay86: seems unlikely that it would return before finishing configuring the bridge though [01:37] acicula: Since this has been around so long, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't confusing a "bug" for a "feature". [01:38] I've been working on this issue since 11am, and its no 5:37pm [01:38] I'm ready to blow apache to pieces [01:38] xiven: Perhaps taking a break and coming back to it later will help? Always helps me [01:38] acicula: It seems to create the bridge and then return immediately instead of waiting for the bridge to be associated with its constituent interfaces and obtain an IP addess. [01:38] I've taken breaks already [01:38] ok [01:38] But it's cost me a whole dale of productivity [01:39] ouch [01:39] xiven what do you need anyhow? wasn't reading from the beginning... [01:39] Apache won't parse php files [01:39] it tries to download them [01:39] sachse_siechtum: for drivers, I got 3 choises, now I've chosen the recommended instead of the other one. [01:39] Status: and the php troubleshooting guide isn't helping [01:39] (I have been through all of apache's config files, and even some php config files [01:39] sachse_siechtum: but I don't ever remember that working in the past [01:40] xiven, give me a sec. I know how to fix that, let me just find the website [01:40] I even removed and reinstalled apache2 and the php5 mod [01:40] xiven first of all... ps ax|grep apache [01:40] check if php is loaded... [01:40] you should have a -D php5 [01:40] sachse_siechtum: so I used windows for 1 year (*shudder*)(at least it was XP) [01:40] marca...I'd always use the recommended [01:40] Actually..it doesn't mention php [01:40] alguem sabe qm istala ubuntu no rio de janeiro ??

Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [01:44] !manners | xiven [01:44] xiven: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:44] I'm a news publisher, and the distribution method, is a website. Apache needs to work so I can setup and test the site. [01:45] I just installed Ubuntu to my external Hard-drive, but I need it to boot into Windows too. How do I get it to boot windows by dfault? Is there a way to make Ubuntu only boot when my external Harddrive with ubuntu on it is plugged in? [01:45] xiven just give me 5mins ok? [01:45] No problem..believe me, I'll be very glad to have it fixed [01:45] aj00200: you use ubuntu 9.10 correct? [01:45] I'm trying to figure out how apache is spread across ubuntu so that I can try and help you... [01:45] !grub | aj00200 [01:45] aj00200: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [01:45] melik: 9.08 [01:46] aj00200: there is no 9.08. [01:46] aj00200, you want to look at how to configure GRUB, not sure if you can get it to only boot ubuntu if your external is plugged in, unless you set it to boot from the external First (in your bios), and have 2 separate boot loaders. [01:46] I'll be back in 5-10 minutes..so take your time [01:46] How do I figure our why my dell laptop became completely frozen. it happened overnight, when only transmission was running. [01:46] sorry, 9.04. [01:46] aj00200: have you ever configured grub on your own? [01:46] quietone, You could look at logs, but I dont know what to look for or where to look. TBH, I have no idea. [01:47] Wondering if anyone can recommend a tftp server for ubuntu [01:47] Melik: no [01:47] Sachse_Siechtum: going to test video [01:47] Silent_Dream: tftp [01:47] happy thursday, everyone!

[01:48] I was wondering what command "Erase this partition" runs in the alternate install CD [01:49] melik: I'm an experienced user, just never got too in depth with linux [01:49] is it dd /dev/urandom\ or /dev/zero or what? [01:49] either way is fine [01:49] oh okay aj00200, open a terminal [01:49] knoppies: I have already looked at the logs and I don't see anything unusual. The last syslog msg is a normal one from transmission. [01:49] type in: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:49] Sachse_Siechtum: i figured it out [01:49] and pastebin everything you see. [01:49] marca what was it? [01:49] Tohuw: i installed the tftp package, but it seems it only works as a client? [01:50] !gksudo | melik [01:50] melik: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:50] melik: ok. It appears empty [01:50] aj00200: use gksudo not sudo, for gedit please [01:50] Silent_Dream: sorry, tftpd [01:50] Sachse_Siechtum: i was talking about the thursday thing [01:50] is there a way to add a horizontal spacer to gnome-terminal? I'm often grepping through files and it's hard to find the first line of the current grep when doing multiple greps in a row [01:51] I'm currently just holding enter to make some space [01:51] marca ah *g* [01:51] thanks ardchoille [01:51] Tohuw: how do I find that with apt? [01:51] my compiz wont start up how do i get it to start back up [01:51] Silent_Dream: apt-cache search tftp | grep -i server [01:51] that's how I just found it for you [01:52] hang on aj00200 (i'm on archlinux atm.. so ubuntu grub configuration might slightly be different) [01:52] Sachse_Siechtum: whole computer froze with video, but audio kept going [01:52] Tohuw: i assume the plain tftpd [01:52] I have an ATI AGP Video card (Radeon 9400 iirc). When I activate the driver, Ubuntu starts in "low graphics mode" because it does not have screen information (perhaps the EDID block of my Dell E207WFPc is being read incorrectly). I have tried setting modelines for it, but this doesn't help. After activation, Catalyst will not work because it reports no driver is installed. [01:52] ill get that one [01:52] marca...well try the ati card, then [01:52] Silent_Dream: yes [01:53] aj00200: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:53] are you sure its empty?

After turning it back on, whenever I use nautilus to access this partition, nautilus crash and generate this error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/410801/, the error is not generated when I execute nautilus as root "sudo nautilus", I'm using Karmic, please help.

[02:14] !ubuntu > PigFlu [02:14] PigFlu, please see my private message [02:14] I am trying to get dual monitors to work properly in Ubuntu 10.04. I have the Recommended Nvidia drivers, and everything is working fairly well, however, the EDID for one of the monitors is corrupt or something, causing it to display the wrong resolution. I have tried editing xorg.conf to the right resolution, but it defaults back to 1024x768 (even though xorg.conf still says 1680x1050). Here is my xorg.conf - http://pastebin.com/sTdg2KBB - Can anyone MSG [02:14] wat [02:14] PigFlu: you are l000? [02:14] arand: - Unsupported command [02:14] l000? [02:15] khunter, if you're using xchat, just click on the arrow in front of the topic [02:15] l000, skype is not in the default repo, and as recently removed from Medibuntu - grab the DEB from http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ [02:15] PigFlu: perhaps you should ask in #freenode [02:15] im muted [02:15] ask what? === s4h is now known as Guest64717 [02:15] that's not my problem. [02:15] Hi, I'm having an issue with my ATI Radeon HD 3650 (AGP). The card is detected properly, and I have installed ATI's proprietary driver (fglrx 8.721). However, the following error is logged in Xorg.log: "(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@2:0:1) found" This renders fglrx inoperable and reverts me to a low-graphics mode. I'm wondering if it has to do with my monitor, a Dell E207WFPc, because it does not seem to [02:15] detect the right resolutions or refresh rates. It is also worth noting that fglrxinfo crashes with a segfault. [02:15] ZykoticK9 ok thanks [02:15] mc: I am using the pre-installed IRC program --> Emphaty [02:15] Sachse_Siechtum: yes, parts of the video work, but instead of freezing, the video is jumpy in some parts. [02:15] actually, it is your problem since i have to ask here instead [02:15] khunter619: But not that empathy is a bad irc client, even stated so by the developers, so I would look for better alternatives...

[02:17] ZykoticK9 how to paste the link of the deb to the source.list? [02:17] marca....well I'd go back to the nvidia card...and try different driver versions... [02:17] ZykoticK9 : like this? http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32 [02:17] ubergamer: sorry, didn't catch the problem. could you please repeat? [02:17] booted into recovery mode ran command chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz yet compiz starts up onto desktop but doesnt show so cant open compiz to undo what i did how can i get it to open so i can undo what i did please [02:17] Sachse_Siechtum: only 3 but okay. [02:17] l000, don't add that to your source.list file - go to it in a web browser and download the DEB then doubleclick it to install [02:17] marca thats all what comes to mind right now...maybe make a post in the ubuntu forums about the problem [02:18] PigFlu: Are you finished? [02:18] I just downloaded the .deb for skype from their website [02:18] hi [02:18] Pici, what does the +zq do (curious, and ot) [02:18] ubergamer: oh, all you need is a terminal/commandline to fix that [02:18] could someone lend me a hand with polipo and vuze?

[02:23] visual settings menu [02:23] Sachse_Siechtum: done! [02:23] unique, try "apt-cache search unrar" it reported for me unrar-free package [02:23] Sachse_Siechtum: starting computer now [02:23] ok [02:23] but not unrar-nonfree [02:23] ubergamer: okay, and did you set it to 'none' and then back to 'extra' or whatever? [02:23] ???????? [02:24] in the visual effects tabs [02:24] *tab [02:24] ohh sorry i think extra and then oula it shut off [02:24] now i cant even get it to open accept on taskbar [02:24] try setting it to 'none', check the process list to make sure compiz.real isn't running. [02:25] hello [02:25] sorry how do i do that [02:25] keri_: what is it formatted as? [02:25] Gnea: what do u mean [02:25] keri_: the format of the wd hd [02:25] the filesystem format [02:26] ZykoticK9 : i have problem when double clicking skype deb. "gdebi-gtk Could not open "skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file.Check the permissions of the file" i tried downloaded 3 times.still the same error. how to install it using root? [02:26] Gnea: it is my book essential 500gb [02:26] l000, you'll probably need to re-download -- but from terminal you can use "sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb" [02:27] Sachse_Siechtum: by the way, youtube has the same results too [02:27] ubergamer: right-click on the top panel, click add-to-panel and select system monitor. then right-click on the system monitor applet to open the monitor itself then select the processes tab [02:27] keri_: It would be something like NTFS or Fat32. If you don't know you can check. [02:27] I have a file is a reiserfs image file. I resized the partition size with reiserfs_resize, which does not resize the file's size according to the actual filesystem size in use. How do I resize the file's size accordingly ? [02:27] I need to add 1680x1050 as a custom resolution to one of my monitors, anyone familiar with doing so? [02:28] egyptions [02:28] ? [02:28] sensae: how do i find out [02:28] ok what am i looking for again [02:28] keri_: Are you currently in Ubuntu? And what is the problem you're having with it? I didn't see the whole conversation [02:28] ubergamer: exactly what I said. [02:28] Sachse_Siechtum: found out the sound problem, not plugged in! (lol) [02:28] lol [02:29] eg lug ers ? [02:29] Luckilee, if you are using Nvidia - open nvidia-settings and the option should in "X Display Configuration" on left - then use the dropdown for resolution on the right side (other graphics cards I have no idea) [02:29] ZykoticK9 : this is the error when using dpgk http://pastebin.com/SbhuPJat [02:29] status = sleeping [02:29] yes i am ubuntu 8.04 and i want to save all my pictures and docutments to this hard drive so i can do a clean upgrade and i can not create file or folder [02:29] Sachse_Siechtum: testing blip.tv [02:30] keri_: then you should reformat it to ext3 [02:30] l000, i'd try re-downloading that DEB [02:30] do i end process? [02:30] ZykoticK9: The resolution I need doesn't show up in the drop down list, I need to add it manually I assume. [02:30] ZykoticK9 downloading it again for 4th times [02:30] keri_: are you planning on using the drive between windows and linux computers or just the ubuntu linux? [02:30] Luckilee, are you sure you monitor supports the resolution you want? [02:30] Gnea: just linux [02:31] no windows [02:31] ubergamer: only if it's still running, yes [02:31] Yes, I have 2 of the same monitors and one of them works, but the other only goes up to 1024x768 [02:31] keri_: okay, then formatting to ext3 will be better, as it will preserve your file permissions/ownerships [02:31] keri_: Is there anything important on the drive right now that's not backed up somewhere else? [02:31] gnea: ok its just sleeping so what is my next step to take [02:31] Arrgh.. I have an annoying problem - can anyone help me with my internet connection? [02:31] Luckilee, I can't explain that - sorry I'm not sure man. Hopefully someone else has an idea/suggestion. Good luck man. [02:32] ubergamer: you've made sure that the visual effects tab is set to 'none'? [02:32] sensae: all my pictures and documents [02:32] keri_: Are all your pictures and documents on your computer or the WD drive? [02:32] sensae: computer [02:32] what them on the wd drive [02:32] keri_: So is there anything important on the WD drive? [02:32] are there any image hosting sites that work for ubuntu? [02:32] ok it is now fosure [02:33] I know it's because the EDID on the monitor isn't working properly, but to fix it I need to add a custom resolution. But everytime I try to add "Modes "1680x1050" to the xorg.conf file and restart X, it tells me it needs to start in safe mode and I have to revert the changes. [02:33] sensae: there is nothing on the wd it is new [02:33] ubergamer: ok good. now try changing the visual effects back to the 'on' position [02:33] mc: did you get IRC set up on Empathy? [02:34] sensae: just got it today [02:34] gnea: amazing thanks [02:34] hi there, i'm experiencing an strange behavior of alt+tab from a while [02:34] ubergamer: cheers :) [02:35] keri_: plug the drive in if it isn't, and go to it in the File Browser, and figure out where it's mounted (it should be something like /media/External or /media/WD, I'm not sure what it would be called) [02:35] Does anyone here know a bit about OSS? [02:35] nope..installed telepathy-idle (help said I needed) but still can't set up the connection, don't see the servers/networks list [02:35] it won't change windows other than the same tipe... [02:35] My internet connection frequently drops after varying intervals of use... can anyone help? [02:35] eg... 2 nautilus... 2 pidgin but no nautilus ---> pidgin switch [02:35] hi I installed 9.10, but menu ``places'' (from main menu bar) is executing totem when I click in a fold, this is kind bizarre, and I can't understand [02:36] try typing "/topic" [02:36] it should show it [02:36] (without quotes) [02:36] mc: /topic gives error [02:36] mc: CoreDump [02:36] edit: - Unsupported command [02:36] sensae: it is under wd smartwave [02:36] because it's not "real" irc client .. :/ [02:36] But this error do not occur when I log at another user ( one created after installation) === brien is now known as dartawin [02:37] sensae: /media/WD SmartWare [02:37] keri_: Open a terminal and type "sudo umount /media/WD\ SmartWare" [02:38] John-, be careful what you post or put on any ubuntu sites i just got suspended for apparently violating terms and conditions which is /// i wouldn't do it i am now switching distros on my computer and all the ones i sell i was just posting a fix for youtube-dl and got suspened for it /// for helping the people never again i probally sell 200 lap tops a year and was installing ubuntu on them / but not anymore after that [02:38] melik: you get my /msg? [02:39] mc: I got it set up like this: http://i43.tinypic.com/dnbmgx.png [02:39] sensae: ok [02:39] julio, in System / Preferences / Keyboard shortcuts - verify "Move between windows, using a popup window" is set to Alt+Tab - and not something else [02:39] sensae: it is show cdrom0 and cdrom1 [02:40] mc: what IRC client are you using? [02:40] sensae: in the terminal it says sudo umount /media/WD\ SmartWare not found [02:40] keri_: Are you looking at the media folder, is that what you mean? [02:40] Does anyone else keep experiencing frequent internet disconnecting? (Using wicd?) [02:40] keri_: Type ls /media and tell me what the output is [02:40] keri_: Right now we're trying to get the drive unmounted so you can reformat it [02:42] sensae: in the terminal i put in ls ls /media it says cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 [02:42] khunter619, I'd highly recommend using a different IRC client then Empathy (perhaps Xchat?) - Empathy is refusing to fix some bugs related to IRC and admit that their IRC support is poor. [02:42] how can i record internet audio streams [02:42] keri_: If you type "mount" do you see anything that says WD or anything like that? If you don't we're probably fine to move on [02:42] ZykoticK9 : hi new error again :( on installing skype karmic http://pastebin.com/0ex2C3YX [02:43] sensae how can i record internet audio streams [02:43] I have tried every trick that I have found online to force my external monitor to 1024x768. http://pastebin.com/Nrx6nYtU <-- my current xorg.conf file.

[02:43] sensae: nothing says wd [02:43] ZykoticK9, could this change need a reboot? cause i've checked that a few moments ago with no luck [02:43] dhanesh: I'm really not sure, there has to be some program to do it. [02:43] Can anyone help with wicd/internet connection in general? [02:43] anyone here have trouble getting on yahoo in pidgin when they started up xubuntu? [02:43] ZykoticK9, but now it's working! [02:44] keri_: Okay, if you go to System -> Administration do you see "Gparted" ? If you don't, we just need to install it [02:44] ZykoticK9 ubuntu karmic [02:44] julio, don't think that would require a reboot no - should really even require a logout/login - but that's where i'd start if i where you [02:44] Ok I will download Xchat [02:44] ZykoticK9 how can i record internet audio streams [02:44] sensae: no gparted [02:45] dhanesh, streamripper and/or streamtuner are popular i believe [02:45] keri_: Go back to your terminal and type "sudo aptitude install gparted" [02:45] Hi, I'm lost trying to understand why totem is called when I click on a fold listed at places in main menu bar [02:45] ok thank you ZykoticK9 [02:45] jason__, ya yahoo does not work out of the box with pidgin and there is a fix i know it but i don't want to get an anymore trouble for violating terms and conditions [02:46] sensae: just showing > and a box [02:46] l000, could you try installing libqt4-dbus then re-pastebin the skype install output? just seeing if manually installing the dependencies would work. [02:46] And absolute don't mind if we bookmark another folder and then click on it, totem is called to exec every time and sometimes it founds a media file not related at all [02:46] keri_:can i chat you with vido on now [02:46] I have added a modeline for 1680x1050 into xorg.conf and restarted X, but it still does not show up as an option to choose (in the nvidia settings), any idea why this could be? [02:46] keri_: Did you possibly accidentally hit ' at the end of your command? [02:46] keri_:can i chat you with video on now [02:46] how do I force synaptic to redownload a package? I'm trying to reinstall something and I want it to actually re-download the package as well... [02:47] keri_: Don't type it with the ", just what's in the quotations [02:47] what could be that bizarre behavior ? [02:47] ZykoticK9, well it's working now, that's what matters... where can i set it to show the windows icons intead of a preview? [02:47] keri_: And to get out of that you're going to want to hit Ctrl-C (sorry for the multiple messages) [02:47] Tohuw, manually remove the package from /var/cache/apt/archives will force Synaptic to redownload it [02:47] Sachse_Siechtum: blip.tv works [02:47] ZykoticK9: thanks!

The monitor can support it, but it's not an option in that config window.

The notification area that usually appears under the clock to inform me of new messages, completed downloads, etc. It's appearing two inches below where it's supposed to and just kind of floats there. Anybody heard of this? [03:37] W43372: I've noticed something odd since switching to Karmic.

Did anyone happen to read what I typed? [03:40] i got lost in all that mess [03:40] I think I did too... [03:40] I've noticed something odd since switching to Karmic. The notification area that usually appears under the clock to inform me of new messages, completed downloads, etc. It's appearing two inches below where it's supposed to and just kind of floats there. Anybody heard of this? [03:40] yes but dhanesh left already [03:40] I think my main problem with ubuntu is i can not remember the code names, I'm better with the Version Numbers [03:40] W43372, that space between the notification area and corner is normal in Karmic (and Lucid as well I'm affraid) [03:41] Zykotick9: But I prefered it just below the clock. There's no way I can change that? [03:41] Lydia`, like wise i dont rem the names just the versions [03:41] test [03:41] W43372, i've seen some manual patches available on the net - not worth the effort in my opinion... [03:41] W43372: there is unfortunately not alot you can do at the moment without editing the code, notify-osd isn't very configurable [03:42] Hello folks [03:42] I need help please: I cannot acces to my favorites pages and last viewed pages because it says the history file of firefox is being used by another aplication. It says another security software is using it. This problem stated yesterday and displays at the top of the firefox. I need some help, this problem is tedious and I cannot find a way to fix it (neither the so called "security program"). Can someone help me please? [03:42] ok here goes again: I had Emerald and there was someplace in the Emerald manager that I could enter things to run in the terminal at runtime. I got it to do 'emerald --replace' on startup, but deleted Emerald. Now I need to do 'metacity --replace' once I start up, how can I automate this? Or remoeve the original 'emerald --replace' call? [03:42] someone could help me with xine oss [03:42] How do I install kde on KUbuntu from cdrom ? [03:42] There's no such package ubuntu-desktop. [03:42] hiexpo, now tomorrow the new Linux toy comes in to hack. :-D [03:42] I wouldn't mind if the notifications didn't obscure where I was trying to read something most of the time. [03:43] in this server can i speak spanish? or english only? [03:43] I think you toggle KDE on login, you do that in the session on the bottom [03:43] killed my laptop lol [03:43] !rules [03:43] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:43] !emerald | eric_ [03:43] Lydia`, - what toy ? [03:43] eric_: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [03:43] ok, how can I add the command 'metacity --replace' to startup? [03:43] I added it as a command in start-up applications but it doesnt work [03:43] I need help please: I cannot access to my favorites pages and last viewed pages because it says the history file of firefox is being used by another aplication. It says another security software is using it. This problem stated yesterday and displays at the top of the firefox. I need some help, this problem is tedious and I cannot find a way to fix it (neither the so called "security program"). Can someone help me please?

[03:53] Lydia`, oh thats kool 312 it can do lots with that [03:53] I think it exists more because someone wanted to write an anti-virus, and found the perfect area that didn't have one lol [03:53] pici: I don't know, I just entered random code on the Ubuntu forums it was telling me how to install skype [03:53] there's a few things to try on there to fix it up... [03:53] luis_, was going to send some PDF's to a co worker, ran a virus scan on them prior, and found a windows virus in another file in my home directory. It wasn't in the PDF's I was going tos end, but I had another virus (windows virus) elsewhere in my system. [03:53]
i just delete one of my repositories on the software resource , how can i get it back ? [03:54] pici: so it might have done it [03:54] hi [03:54] i have grub2 installed [03:54]
hi === s4h is now known as s4h|off [03:54] how to increase its dislpay time [03:54] hiexpo, you sure can see different things you can do on the blog here... http://hunterdavis.com/archives/category/zipit-hacking [03:54] it is disappearing very fastly [03:55] a windows virus will not affect linux but v\can hurt a person with windows you send it to [03:55] hiexpo, it's the Z2 not the Z1 which is much more limited [03:55] grub is going too fast? [03:55] pici: so what do you think? :( [03:55] @hiexpo Grub is going to fast and you need to change the time delay? [03:55] RP64: Yes, skype is in the medibuntu repos, you didn't add their gpg key as well. This will do that: wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [03:56] Lydia`, waiting for page to load one sec === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:56] pici: oh so I should ignore the warning, it's not gonna harm me even tho it says its possibility? [03:56] RP64: No.. please run the command I just gave you. [03:56] steve ? huh [03:56] Sorry, meant for paiwan [03:56] !tab [03:56] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === s4h|off is now known as s4h [03:57] pici: OK it said "OK" to me [03:57] ...why would gparted tell me "failed to mount '59G Volume'. The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." when i don't have a 59gb partition? [03:57] RP64: Now run sudo apt-get update again [03:57] Pici: OK [03:57] exit [03:57] exit? [03:57] IF no one can tell me how to manually remove a package and then update aptitude, I'll switch to windows to do what I need to do, and find another distribution. [03:57] yes exit [03:57] wrong screen [03:57] For grep how would I remove every thing except 0-9, *, -, [ ] , and period and question mark ? [03:57] pici: It said reading package lists.... Done [03:58] Lydia`, - hey thats cool that could be my new little hack mobile machine [03:58] RP64: Now you can do whatever you needed to do in the first place. [03:58] linux ntfs [03:58] damn [03:58] pici: So what.... I should run update manager again and if they're still in the list install them? and its safe even with warning? [03:58] hiexpo, hehe, I can't wait to hack mine to do the same thing [03:58] RP64: The warning won't come up now, we just fixed that. [03:58] pici: OH kool thx! [03:58] yes [03:58] pici: how do u know all that code ? [03:58] hi [03:58] Would anyone happen to know how to use grep command?

[03:59]
how can i delete duplicate entries in the repositories , i am looking at the list in the software source and none of them look the same but still when i run update it tells me that i have double entries [03:59] pici: Oh it still has 1 problem, it says "Skype" can't be authenticated [03:59] Lydia`, - i could be deadly with that it s so small :) [03:59] pici: but the other 3 are authenticated now [04:00] Lydia`, whos selling it? [04:00] grub2 going to fastly [04:00] pici: why ?? [04:00] <^b0ss^> hey all [04:00] hiexpo, they have them at some of the larger Targets in the US, i mail ordered it from them, the Provider is ZipitWireless [04:00] how to increase display time [04:00] ...

[04:01] RP64: So you already have skype installed, you're just doing regular updates? [04:01] pici` I didn't know about the channel, thank you :-D, switching [04:01] <^b0ss^> anyone here ...do support [04:01] !ask [04:01] 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).

The graphics chip is a Mobility Radeon 7500. I've done a bunch of Googling, but all I find are old forum posts from 2006-2007. [04:18] and it states how firewire audio cannot predict the latency so it cant allign it properly [04:18] but that was written in may 07, has the issue been addressed and fixed?

[04:22] pici: lols so which of those is the better option [04:22] Finally [04:23] ....is anyone particularly good with partitions? [04:23] kathleenlepirate: I might be , wats the problem? [04:24] @kathleenlepirate I might not be particularly good at it but... what's the question? [04:25] i have this 122gb chunk and i'm trying to make it one ntfs partition, but it keeps telling me "failed to mount '59G Volume'. The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." [04:25] at the moment, it's unallocated [04:25] pici: which of those is the better option do u think [04:26] Realizing mileage will almost certainly vary by model, is there any strategy for operating a laptop running Karmic with the lid closed, VGA out? Via nvidia-settings? Do I need to somehow disable suspend? [04:26] RP64: Doesn't really matter. The next time around it'll probably download the package list properly and you won't get an error. [04:26] in gparted, that is [04:27] pici: lols so for now just dont DL it? [04:27] Anyone have any recommendations regarding free Dynamic DNS services (I would prefer first hand experience, not hear-say) [04:27] pici: oh and whats the next time around ? like next time i restart comp and search for updates agaon or .. [04:27] @kathleenlepirate okay and what are you trying to acomplish? Elaborate please [04:27] a 3rd partition to share with windows [04:27] RP64: I mean when another skype update comes out. And if you do get the error, feel free to poke me here, I'm always around. [04:27] gunksta http://www.everydns.com/ [04:28] I've been using these guys for quite a few years now ;] [04:28] hanasaki, have you tried the package 'fusion-icon'? [04:28] hi, anyone know of any solr-tomcat packages for 9.04 ? [04:28] pici: well I updated the 8.10 version (even tho im 9.04) of the package for skype off the Skype website though [04:28] pici: would that be effecting it [04:28] nope. subone what is it [04:28] pici: should I uninstall the one I got off skype site [04:28] root@lisa:~# apt-get build-dep solr-tomcat [04:28] ... [04:28] E: Build-Depends dependency for solr-tomcat cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package debhelper can satisfy version requirements [04:28] Status -- Thanks, looks interesting. [04:29] RP64: shouldn't be. [04:29] i added src packages for lucid. guess the gap is too big [04:29] subone: what's fusion vs compiz? [04:30] gunksta they have their own script to update subdomains...or the main domain itself...in case you have a dynamic ip etc... ;] [04:30] @kathleenlepirate okay it is usually better to install windows first since windows has a special way of.. messing around everything. err creasting the system file [04:30] I trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 x64 and I have a blinking screen.. cant get the GUI to startup the install.. any ideas ? [04:30] but let me see what i can dig for you (...thinking) [04:30] hanasaki, compiz fusion, its just an icon that sits in your notification tray and allows you to quickly change window managers and turn compiz on and off and start it on login [04:31] hanasaki, quote from compiz.org: "Compiz and Compiz Fusion are merging and are now known as Compiz." [04:32] Status - Perfect, that is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. [04:32] vicsar: i did install it first - rather, it came installed on it, i shrunk C:, deleted D: and started managing that space with gparted. should i not have done that? [04:32] thanks subone [04:32] np [04:33] @kathleenlepirate no, that is okay. if windows came pre-installed then you could install Linux without a problem [04:34] before you go any further please remember to backup you important files, do not attempt to create a partition on a device that is in use. [04:35] hanasaki, also, icyww: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Compiz-Fusion#Gnome [04:35] vicsar: it's new so there's nothing of mine on it yet [04:35] but the icon is useful [04:36] @kathleenlepirate good! Gives you more room to experiment, still be careful. Here are two links that might help solve your puzzle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TK5YezY-Xc and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [04:36] but i'd rather not screw up the windows intallation because it's a netbook, i don't have an external optical drive and it came with a dvd to restore [04:37] check them out and let us know if it helped [04:37] ok thanks [04:37] okay, well if you follow the instructions step by step then you should have no problem === freevryheid is now known as fvs [04:39] hey all, what disk is it best to install grub onto if planning on going dual boot with 2 disks. i already have a win7 install on one. and just about to do another on a new disk for ubuntu.

[04:48] xiven, i agree with Pici, I'm not sure how you manually removed the package. Do you mean that the package was removed through something like `sudo apt-get remove pkgname` and the cli responded something like "package set to manually removed"? [04:49] like we can do in rox ? 'open terminal here'? [04:49] passingby123: did you try right clicking? [04:49] lemme check that out [04:49] passingby123, which file manager?

Hit up google for how to build from source [05:11] PratikAnand: so you should be able to remove casper (which yeah will likely remove remastersys but you can reinstall them at the end) then update so that youre on current version numbers then reinstall remastersys and casper. also im being told that you ought to file a bug on udev that it should be "conflicts: casper" not "breaks; casper" [05:11] <^b0ss^> :( [05:11] <^b0ss^> gezzz [05:11] PratikAnand: because breaks makes it do this stupidity while conflicts doesnt ;-) [05:11] <^b0ss^> soo hard [05:12] <^b0ss^> to install just a simple driver [05:12] <^b0ss^> insane [05:12] ^b0ss^ not really.

[05:13] there used to be a gui to help configure apache [05:13] PratikAnand: use "sudo dpkg -P --force-depends casper" [05:14] is there nother one ?? [05:14] PratikAnand: what was this update that broke? were you upgrading from jaunty to karmic or karmic to lucid? [05:14] ^b0ss^ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html first result on google. Worked for me, it's really simple. [05:14] PratikAnand: or was it an update within karmic?

[05:20] khunter619, you would have to find and install IDLE unless it's included. [05:20] Is there a way to change the uuid from BusyBox if sudo doesn't work? [05:20] ^b0ss^: You desktop is located at /home/$USER/Desktop [05:20] ^b0ss^, I think it's actually ~/Desktop. But just do ls -al ~ to see all of your directories. [05:20] ^b0ss^: capitalization also matters, don't forget [05:21] how do i apply the custom short-cut i have created? as soon as i hit 'apply' it revert to 'disabled' status. [05:21] /quit I'll just come back later. [05:21] Hornet^: where would I find IDLE from? Does it not come with the Python Linux download (as in for Windows) [05:21] khunter619: open up a terminal, and type "python" [05:21] subone, Yes it worked thank you very much [05:21] IDLE is only for windows i think [05:22] yeah, linux has a python "console" instead [05:22] khunter619, I have no idea. Check the IDLE web-site, if they have one. [05:22] idle is on 'software sources' ... [05:22] why do you need IDLE?i mean why do you prefer IDLE? [05:23] In IDLE when I make a new .py file it is all coloured..the codings [05:23] khunter619, you could try apt-cache search python | grep idle and see if it shows up. If it does, install it via apt-get install [05:23] If I was to set someone up with ubuntu beta 1, would they just be able to do their updates, and pretty much have the exact same release as what will be released 22 days from now?

[05:44] what is dpkg [05:44] i got a problem with gma 950 on 10.04 beta [05:44] alienseer231, Does it show up in your BIOS? [05:45] neoraj, command line install tool for DEB files [05:45] Hornet^: it is currently in an external enclosure [05:45] what is deb files [05:45] titlebar disappear when i turn on visual fx [05:45] neoraj: what is google [05:45] akkan84, reask your question in #ubuntu+1 the Lucid channel [05:45] deb = debian [05:45] alienseer231, connected via USB? [05:45] kool thx [05:45] hornet^: yes\ [05:45] mosno,search engine [05:45] ^b0ss^, yw, just remember to mind your manners in these chats, especially with the flooding and language. Be patient, someone will get to your issue if they know and are willing. The people in here are volunteers... I'm here looking for my own answers. [05:45] neoraj: congratulations! [05:46] mosno, thank you very [05:46] neoraj: now, all your "what is" questions... type the keyword into google [05:46] :) [05:46] alienseer231, IIRC you can run 'dmesg' at a command line, look through the entries for an indication that a USB device has been attached. It may mention which device under /dev it is. If it does, all you have to do is mount /dev/foo /mnt/foo -t usbfs it. [05:47] <^b0ss^> arhhh thanks so much for all ya support ..it was pulling my hair out sorry just wanted to install a printer and didnt know why i was having so much trouble ...i think the answer is i saved it im a temp dir i didnt hit save or something [05:47] alienseer231, to see if the system sees the drive at all you can run "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal, which will list all drive/partitions Ubuntu sees [05:48] @alienseer the command would be tail -f /var/log/dmesg [05:48] ZykoticK9: it doesnt show [05:48] neoraj, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=deb+files [05:48] alienseer231, could be your USB drive requres external power? [05:48] alienseer231, that's not a good sign. USB is plugged in and drive is turned on right? [05:48] however: tail -f /var/log/messages will work as well [05:49] Hornet^: already powered [05:49] alienseer231, I would try a different computer. Failing that you have a failing drive and/or USB enclosure. [05:49] ZykoticK9: yeah [05:49] i am unable to run .iso files on VLC, is there a way to do it? [05:49] I guess you could tail -f /var/log/dmesg as you unplug and replug the USB. [05:49] See if anything shows up. [05:49] Hornet^, +1 [05:50] Hornet^: I know the drive is failing, I just don't know how to even begin to recover the data untill I can get the computer to recopgnize that there is a drive there at all [05:50] I been here so long answering questions i forgot what my question was [05:50] or if i had one... [05:50] <^b0ss^> lol [05:50] <^b0ss^> too funny [05:50] alienseer231, honestly, I would recommend you power down the drive for now. Google a product called SpinRite. It's saved many a failing drive I've been called on to recover. [05:51] <^b0ss^> subone is sudo a command for example that means install or unpack or something ? [05:51] pidgin keeps crashing due to puleaudio. I've looked for a solution to this, but haven't found anything. any suggestions? [05:51] Hornet^: gotcha [05:51] subone: it was 'what is the avg airspeed of and unladen swallow right? [05:51] ^b0ss^, sudo is the command to "do" something under the priveledges of the "Super User" [05:52] alienseer231, costs $60-ish for a license, if your data is important it's well worth it. 99% of the time I can recover all data on the drive using SpinRite alone. Don't forget to get the data off and onto a known-good drive ASAP once SpinRite has done its thing. [05:52] cleaverroot, aw man, i dont even think i could have made that question up [05:52] Hornet^: on it, I appreciate the help [05:52] ^b0ss^, typically when installing something, especially drivers, you need to have root (su) privs [05:53] subone, "technically" sudo originated from su - which stands for "switch user" not "super user" [05:53] <^b0ss^> there is only one account on this puter === boost_ is now known as pcodes [05:53] ZykoticK9, did not know that [05:53] <^b0ss^> so im gussing it has admin priv would that be right ? [05:53] yes [05:54] sudo is the root equivalent in ubuntu systems [05:54] or really any system that enables users in the sudoers file [05:54] i messed up something when i was trying to remove compiz and now i have no window frames, i cant move anything i have running what can i do to fix this? [05:54] funny i didnt pick up on that and ive been using sudo -u for that purpose lately [05:54] Hornet^ best thing out there costs under $1 ;] [05:54] <^b0ss^> :) [05:54] <^b0ss^> we all learning [05:54] Zenker, metacity --replace [05:55] beat me to it [05:55] Status, what is it? [05:55] Hornet^ it's called ziplock bag.... [05:55] hi i want to start a repo server for my college. any guide or wiki regarding it? [05:55] Status, aah, freezer method? I expected you to go with a quip about backing up regularly ;) [05:55] put the drive in a sealed ziplock bag....get a conector from the drive with a usb conector at the other end...and freeze it... [05:56] aligns the heads of the drive for as long as its cold... [05:56] you copy whatever you need out of it...and dumb that crap in the garbage [05:56] Status, is that true? [05:56] spinrite aint got nothing on my fridge :D [05:56] crucialhoax yes [05:56] sweettttt [05:56] ZykoticK9 what do i need to do to replace it? [05:56] The problem with that method is its a once-off and only lasts as long as the drive is cold... [05:57] That is a neat trick [05:57] hey all [05:57] hey [05:57] I wonder if you could keep it sufficiently cool once it comes out of the freezer using compressed air. [05:57] Hornet^ aham...and spinrite does miracles to you? ;] [05:57] or nitrogen would work [05:57] Status, ooh yes. [05:57] spinrite is just a software... [05:57] Zenker, sorry? in a terminal or alt-f2 type "metacity --replace" which will switch back the the default gnome windows manager, from compiz -- you should have window boarders again [05:57] no miracles there... [05:57] the problem is hardware...fix the hardware = fix the problem... === nosrepa is now known as aperson [05:58] <^b0ss^> hey subone there is a program that my dad got with his phone [05:58] you can either send it to the factory to get it fixed = tons of $$ [05:58] zenixlive, you need to replace with metacity since you removed compiz [05:58] or you can freeze it... [05:58] ops [05:58] wrong nick [05:58] Sure sure [05:58] Zenker, you need to replace with metacity since you removed compiz [05:58] if the drive doesn't work...you can't spinrite it :D [05:58] <^b0ss^> its called motorola phone tools could you have a look at this website and recommand the right one for ubuntu [05:58] <^b0ss^> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/motorola+phone+tools+for+linux/ [05:58] you make the heads align...the drive will magically come back to live [05:59] ^b0ss^, that site is crap [05:59] how much costs 1 ziplock bag? [05:59] 20 cents? [05:59] what does the cold climate do to the heads out of curiosity? it swells up? [05:59] <^b0ss^> oh [05:59] <^b0ss^> well im still learning ...lol ..im just trying to install the things he needs ...he said he wants his phone tools ...lol [05:59] ^b0ss^, notice that everything on the page describes the search terms [06:00] crucialhoax it makes them align back into place where they should be at in the first place... [06:00] but... but... they have "Patent Pending." [06:00] <^b0ss^> yea i just noticed that..lol [06:00] ^b0ss^, what model phone does he have exactly [06:00] <^b0ss^> ill check one sec [06:00] no software will do that for you... [06:01] ZykoticK9, maginot that works but as soon as i close the terminal it stops, what now? [06:01] Hi, I just put 9.10 64 bit on my Apple Mac Book 4,1, and I'm having a lot of problems with the trackpad. It is very slow and unresponsive, and it tends to freeze up while moving it. I've tried messing with all of the mouse settings like sensitivity/accelleration, but it's not having any effects. what should I do? [06:01] Zenker, run from alt+f2 not from terminal [06:01] so if you shake your hard-drive...or it gets banged etc...and gets unaligned = problems [06:01] factory fix costs tons of $$ [06:01] maginot will it run when i start up after that? [06:02] I understand that, I just dont understand how just a cold ambient temperature causes that.. [06:02] Zenker, that's just a temporary fix - you need to switch off compiz permanently -- i'd recommend installing fusion-icon so you'll have a GUI to use. Good luck man. [06:02] hundreds to thousands..depending on how they feel about you [06:02] <^b0ss^> its a motorloa BZ60 [06:02] Zenker, probably, just give a try... [06:02] kk brb wish me luck rofl [06:02] so if you ever think about sending it to factory...ask a girl to do it for you... [06:02] Or is there any way to manually set the mouse sensitivity? [06:02] maybe she'll get a better deal? [06:02] CaptainBriney, is it a synaptics? [06:02] :D [06:02] crucialhoax: I'm not sure. [06:02] where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)? [06:03] Status: what if you're already a girl? [06:03] ~800USD [06:03] starting price [06:03] CaptainBriney, hmm, the mouse settings under System > Preferences > Mouse aren't applying? [06:03] ^b0ss^, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=motorola+BZ60+ubuntu [06:03] trying to install linux on an Acer Aspire One ZG5 with an 8GB SSD. at first, i tried UNR, but it freezes at 70% when "starting partitioner". i read something about the first 8Mb of the drive being unwritable, so I left the first 16Mb unused and built my partitions starting from there. it all worked fine and installed the entire system, but something went wrong with grub and the system wouldnt boot (blank screen, [06:03] blinking cursor). now I am trying ubuntu 9.10. i read that it works out of the box, but I am getting the same freeze out ay 70% in the same place. is there anything I should do to get it to work? either ubuntu or unr would be fine at this point. [06:04] maco depends on how good-looking you are :D [06:04] <^b0ss^> subone if ya like at the first link [06:04] maginot dang nope it didnt start up that way, is there a way to "go back" to the orig config b4 i installed compiz? [06:04] if you're ugly as a dog...send it yourself...since I'm pretty sure you won't have any hot chicks hanging around with you anyhow ;] [06:04] crucialhoax: No, they seem to have no effect. Sensitivity and acceleration don't do anything at all. I've also tried using xset m and then things like 1/1 and 10/10 and 5/5 but nothing seems to change it. The mouse is still very insensitive, and it takes many drags to get the mouse across the screen. Sometimes it will become incredibly sensitive. [06:05] <^b0ss^> it says the phones suported even though we added it to the search thingy ....the BZ60 isnt on the suported list [06:05] where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)? [06:05] crucialhoax: Also, the mouse will stop halfway through the path for a second and then continue. I plugged in a USB mouse and it works just fine but I would really like to get the trackpad working properly. [06:05] if you're decent looking...pick the hottest.. deal maker of the bunch... [06:05] ^b0ss^, you cant always get what you want, but if you TRY sometimes, my might find, you get what you need... do some more research [06:06] Status: just looked here up she is pretty. [06:06] CaptainBriney, I am about to give you the ubuntu macbook page. one moment [06:06] hello any one [06:06] cleaverroot who's pretty? [06:06] crucialhoax: Okay, thanks for your help. [06:06] I just want to know how to open ports for transmission? [06:07] CaptainBriney, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Karmic#Touchpad (appletouch) [06:07] there is some known issues [06:07] i guess the easiest thing i can do is just reinstall compiz and the fusion icon and leave it on metacity or does anyone else have a suggestion [06:08] Zenker_, are you trying a new WM? [06:08] crucialhoax: Yeah, it's just telling you how to use multi-touch. I used this page to fix everything else :) [06:08] crucialhoax what is WM? [06:08] <^b0ss^> hey subone the motorola pack in package manager [06:08] Zenker_, window manager [06:08] <^b0ss^> is that a goer? [06:09] where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)? [06:09] window manager [06:09] ahh. [06:09] I mean are you trying to go from gnome to like xfce? [06:09] surabaya [06:10] is that "wmanager" in the package manager? [06:10] <^b0ss^> hey all i have installed a program for my phone under package manager is there anything else i need to do ...like a sudo thingy [06:10] where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)? the files.. of the thems [06:10] <^b0ss^> no in ubuntu [06:10] Dougdoug4, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+themes+directory&l=1 [06:10] <^b0ss^> EG how do i get to the program doesnt seem to be in applications [06:11] I'm just going to make a post about it. Thanks for your help. [06:12] CaptainBriney, I did a quick google on your model and didn't find much for ubuntu 9.10. Hopefully this gets solved [06:12] CaptainBriney, I do have 1 last suggestion [06:12] crucialhoax: yeah, me too haha it's sort of an issue that I would like to fix. Thanks for all your help! [06:12] crucialhoax: what would that be? [06:13] where can i go to learn leet? [06:13] CaptainBriney, under Applications do you see a System tools menu? [06:13] ok, i just reinstalled the fusion icon (and related stuff) and that worked, now, how do i get rid of compiz w/o this issue? [06:13] crucialhoax: No, I do not. [06:13] ^b0ss^, what package did you install exactly [06:13] CaptainBriney, OK. Go to System > Preferences > Main Menu [06:14] I'm using Lucid Lynx and the oxygen cursor shows correctly when my cursor is inside applications but it's black when I do right click menus or anywhere else on the desktop. What gives? [06:14] Zenker, you can uninstall compiz if it doesnt work for you... in which case you dont need the icon either [06:14] crucialhoax: Okay. [06:14] <^b0ss^> m8 when i add the phone ....it just seems to work now [06:14] <^b0ss^> it gives me a folder ..with everything that is on the phone [06:14] <^b0ss^> im guessing that is how it works .::) [06:14] Zenker, though i recommend more research, if you are not using the latest or greatest video drivers you might be able to get it to work with some effort [06:14] CaptainBriney, Click on system tools and put a check next to configuration editor [06:15] crucialhoax: okay, done. [06:15] ^b0ss^, most phones you can just plug in with mass usb turned on and it will work fine for moving files around on it [06:15] subone i did uninstall it, i also lost windows, so i reinstalled it :(, its not that it dosent work in fact it worked just fine, but it conflicts with blender, the primary reason i installed ubuntu in the 1st place [06:15] CaptainBriney, now go to Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor [06:15] crucialhoax: I'm already here :) what would you like me to edit? [06:15] Zenker, perhaps you can run blender from a bash script that changes your window manager before and after it runs [06:16] adelcampo, you should really reask your question in the Lucid channel #ubuntu+1 [06:16] CaptainBriney, I just would like to know what you see lol [06:16] Zykotick9 thanks! [06:16] who can hlep me? [06:16] <^b0ss^> ok thats great....it just loads straight up [06:16] subone id rather remove compiz and restore ubuntu to its original glory b4 it was ever installed [06:16] <^b0ss^> very nice [06:16] <^b0ss^> :) [06:16] CaptainBriney, Oops [06:17] CaptainBriney, On the left, you see desktop right?

I've done a little probing around. I found under desktop -> peripherals -> trackpad or mouse [06:17] <^b0ss^> great channel....getting all my goodies installed:) [06:17] crucialhoax: erm I mean touchpad [06:17] CaptainBriney, you want the trackpad [06:17] also i want to uninstall ubuntustudio, so im thinking a reformat/reinstall may be the best bet, what do u guys think? [06:17] Zenker, i found after installing compiz, although i worked really hard to get it to work, even though it ran really well and fast on my machine, i just didnt _need_ it to be productive. though i did learn a lot in the process :) [06:17] i can't instell soft [06:18] CaptainBriney, Likewise haha I mean touchpad* [06:18] <^b0ss^> yea ..i had the same prob what software you looking to install m8 [06:18] ^b0ss^, thats the spirit :) [06:18] <^b0ss^> :) [06:18] <^b0ss^> my new fav channel [06:18] <^b0ss^> :) [06:18] dms, what software are you looking to install?

[06:31] ^boss^ :can you help me ? [06:31] <^b0ss^> im trying brother [06:31] subone, so you cant access the interface from a friends house per say, it has to be from the host network? [06:31] <^b0ss^> sudo apt-get remove packagename` [06:31] dms, what's your problem? [06:31] <^b0ss^> thats the command for uninstalling i was tolld [06:31] subone, thats ok, curiosity is not a bad thing :) [06:32] ^b0ss^, yeah, but as i said its like a remote control, so i can be sitting on the couch and start a movie, full screen it, kill processes and stuff, by buttons and text boxes rather than ssh, which is what ive been doing [06:32] just it's native channel!

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [06:35] yeh ? [06:36] why ? [06:36] then if that command left any orphaned packages sudo apt-get autoremove [06:36] ubuntu uses .deb... [06:37] so? [06:37] hi there [06:37] are you use wine? [06:37] RPM is the RHEL Package System correct, however, Yum is APT for those based systems... [06:37] what wine used? === Avait is now known as Snarkfish [06:38] hi [06:38] dms, do you know what google is in chinese?

[06:39] yes ,the google in the home kong === Snarkfish is now known as xSnarkfishx === boost is now known as Guest53148 [06:39] oh cool the google chinese page has cool little animated dots lol [06:40] eddified, I have never heard of that.

[06:40] i 'm not computer know [06:40] eddified: Maybe: http://projects.gnome.org/nemiver/ [06:40] crucialhoax: yes i believe i ran it from the commandline [06:40] greetings [06:41] eddified, Ok, so if you wanted to see why VLC kept crashing you would want to spawn VLC from the terminal, not the icon [06:41] hello xSnarkfishx [06:41] what are we use ubuntu ? [06:41] oh, no, nothing like that. just a tool that shows info about the current window's display properties. x,y value of the top left corner of the window, color depth, etc. [06:41] Hello all, anyone know if the Dell Inspiron 1520 runs fine with Ubuntu 9.10?

[07:51] bullgard: There is an alt-F2 command, but here is the Ubuntu page: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:51] bullgard: it's mainly used for servers. for desktop installations you can use upgrade-manager [07:52] If bullgard is going from like 8.04 an upgrade could prove to be disastrous. Download or buy a install cd and do a clean install. [07:52] when I maximize a window in fluxbox it always leaves a little gap between the window and the bottom and right of the screen.

I formatted the drive, installed ubuntu on a partition and formatted the other partition ntfs for windows. My laptop apparently has no XP chipset drivers for SATA so XP install is breaking when attempted. I think I found the drivers I need online, but they're windows executables — anyone have an idea what I should do, I've asked in # [07:53] hi [07:54] 老肖 [07:54] AstroMix: Are you trying to put XP and Ubuntu on this new lappy? [07:55] Hi.. I am using hardy 8.0.4 . I have compiler which is gcc and it shows gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4) . How can I change it to 4.4.3 [07:55] any suggestions please... [07:56] <^b0ss^> ok everything is in english on openoffice [07:56] <^b0ss^> what a nice change [07:56] <^b0ss^> heheeh [07:56] <^b0ss^> main thing learnt today ..i dont know russian [07:56] ^b0ss^: bahaha [07:56] <^b0ss^> :P [07:57] ¯\(°_o)/¯ [07:57] <^b0ss^> ok everything is working ..

But if Ubuntu is running fine no wories. [07:57] ^b0ss^: Now back it up. [07:58] <^b0ss^> best way to backup ubuntu ? [07:58] !backup [07:58] There are many ways to back your system up.

[07:59] crucialhoax: I did find the drivers [07:59] phani,Use : apt-get install gcc [07:59] crucialhoax: they're just .exe, and short of creating a windows install iso with them in there I dunno what to do [07:59] ^b0ss^: I like them all, Simple Home Backup is good, or HUB [07:59] AstroMix: Then I am confused with what exactly you need assistance with... [08:00] I apologize [08:00] <^b0ss^> i would like to do a complete drive backup [08:00] crucialhoax: you and me both ^^ [08:00] <^b0ss^> as i have a 1TB or free space [08:00] <^b0ss^> on other drives [08:00] Vigo: Deja Dup is another good one. [08:00] anyone? what's the reason for 'cannot send to channel'? [08:00] i guess an alternate question would be how well is VirtualBox's 3d acceleration now? [08:00] aiakeng: when i do that it says its already the latest version but when i type gcc --version it shows 4.2.4 but i require 4.4.3 [08:00] phani: There's no gcc-4.4 in 8.04's repositories. You'll have to either find a PPA that has it, or build it yourself. [08:01] AstroMix: I have not personally used that feature so I would not know. [08:01] geirha: what is PPA [08:01] ^b0ss^: Dupelicity, Deja Dupe, and others, just back it up since you have it working the way you want it to.

[08:03] phani,sorry i mistook your meaning entirely. [08:04] aiakeng : no probs [08:04] <^b0ss^> nice man [08:04] Ganymede: how big do you make them? [08:04] AstroMix: What are you installing? [08:04] <^b0ss^> this is the first time i have had a linux system work the they i wanted [08:04] I have shared a folder on Ubuntu machine using Samba. I can access it from my XP machine, but not from my old Win 98 machine. Win98 machine keeps prompting for a password. I have tried all passwords and even left the password field blank. [08:04] <^b0ss^> and be able to install all the devices ......bloody amazing [08:05] AstroMix, 10 gigs is usually more than enough for XP with nothing but a browser, linux installs can get smaller [08:05] crucialhoax: well, i've been trying to put XP on a partition, but as I said, no SATA chipset drivers — so I need to do something else [08:05] AstroMix, i haven't even tried vista/7 virtual machines yet, they'd probably be pretty giant [08:05] <^b0ss^> i have [08:05] nah i just need IE 6 / 7 / 8 [08:05] <^b0ss^> i done both [08:05] 7 / Vista is stupid huge, which is why I wanted to install a stripped down XP [08:06] but I guess I can just do that in VM [08:06] ^b0ss^: Took alot of work from many volunteers to get it to this, please enjoy and submit any fixes or knowledge to the Forums. Thank you. [08:06] i had hoped that I might be able to mount my partition through vm so i could access it while in my linux environment [08:06] 7 is like a ~30 gb install... [08:06] AstroMix, yes, or not at all. [08:06] Anyone use mlterm here? [08:07] mirsal: what do you mean? [08:07] search the web www.search2.net [08:08] AstroMix: I have not yet figured out how to access files from VM to Host. [08:08] AstroMix, I just logged in, I missed all what you said before 9:05 [08:08] yeah...i usually don't have to worry about VM size though because we have a 9TB raid...so i haven't played with how small i can get a vista/7 VM to be [08:09] Ganymede: Are you sure that is enough space ;P [08:09] AstroMix, (win 7 is fat, you want to install XP in a vm) [08:10] i found an XP torrent that apparently has the sata chipset drivers I need, huzzah [08:10] crucialhoax, wouldn't it be? [08:10] AstroMix, My point being: don't install MS Windows. [08:10] ^^ [08:10] I put a pendrive but cannot remove anything. Error: "read-only filesystem". How can I solve that? [08:10] mirsal: never by choice :P [08:10] Ganymede: I was just joking. [08:10] join #python [08:10] sad :( [08:10] crucialhoax, oh, i wasn't sure...although there was a ;P there [08:11] mirsal: this all started because I took windows 7 off this machine and wanted to downgrade to Tiny XP [08:11] farciarz84: What is the filesystem type? [08:11] mirsal: well, dualboot linux / xp [08:11] and best buy had a bunch of stupid "RESTORE" partitions [08:11] Ganymede: That sounds like a beast of a setup [08:11] farciarz84, try with "sudo" [08:12] crucialhoax: win95 [08:12] AstroMix, What happened ? [08:12] crucialhoax: fat32 [08:12] AstroMix: Restore partitions can be useful. But take up waaay too much space. [08:12] Hello. with ip6tables, how do I redirect all incoming traffic to port 80, into the port 8080? [08:12] crucialhoax, ehh...RAID setups are getting really cheap nowadays...you can buy a SAS RAID card for like $500 or $1000 and then ten 1 TB disks for another like $800 [08:12] farciarz84: Nevermind. I was hoping you would say ext3 or something lol [08:12] crucialhoax, i don't know what our RAID is on, probably a NetApp filer === Dougdoug4_ is now known as Dougdoug4 [08:12] mirsal: nothing, my old machine's mobo just died, so i went and bought this laptop — but it's not built to downgrade to xp [08:12] (morning everyone by the way) [08:13] morning [08:14] AstroMix, Oh, I see. [08:14] AstroMix, tpb Then [08:14] AstroMix: MS wont be supporting XP for much longer. I dont see how they can. It is sooo old. [08:14] when you guys create VMs, do you use dynamically expanding storage? or fixed sized? [08:14] Dynamic! always. [08:14] dynamical [08:14] crucialhoax: bah, it's really just IE6+ i'm after [08:14] lol al [08:15] AstroMix, depends on what you use it for [08:15] Oh ok. [08:15] i know i can run my online games through wine, i do it on my macbook pro [08:15] AstroMix, for running another desktop OS, use dynamic [08:15] :P [08:15] I put a pendrive but cannot remove anything. Error: "read-only filesystem". How can I solve that? filesystem: W95 FAT32, and why linux sucks all the time?;) [08:15] AstroMix try ies4linux [08:16] i have but that gives me the 7 alpha [08:16] when I maximize a window it doesn't actually become fully maximized. in fluxbox. How can I fix? [08:16] and i tried gutting the engine of 6 and replacing it with 7 but that didn't work out well [08:16] A fixed file is what it says. VM creates a 12GB right then and there and uses that to write to. Where as dynamic creates the space on the fly. [08:18] anyone hear of an updated ies4linux? I think that project died [08:18] AstroMix,I'm curious about the game.What's game? [08:18] Final Fantasy XI [08:19] MY screen keep truning GRAY the entire screen! [08:19] installed Wine on Snow Leopard and it runs great [08:19] i am using 10 04 live cd [08:19] !ot | AstroMix [08:19] AstroMix: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:19] AstroMix: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation [08:19] aww… someone asked me though~! don't hate me ubottu [08:19] ok in terminal if I do tar xvfz foo.tar.gz it goes into a folder called foo/ is there any way to get it to go into a folder called bar/ ? [08:20] crucialhoax: ies4linux project still works, but it only installs IEs 5, 5.5, and 6 with an optional ie 7 alpha release — which isn't really too helpful these days [08:20] join #ubuntu-bugs [08:21] Crash1hd: should be able to specify the desired location after the filename [08:21] why IE though? there arent many sites that FF wont load due to incompatibility. [08:21] Crash1hd: like tar xvfz foo.tar.gz /some/path/ [08:22] hateball, like this tar xvfz foo.tar.gz bar/ when I do that I geto folder bar/ doesnt exsist [08:22] hateball: agreed. [08:22] in container [08:22] or something [08:22] Crash1hd: ah you want tar to create the target folder too [08:22] no the target folder is there [08:22] crucialhoax: i'm a web developer, some clients have to have IE6 compatibility and IE7 because their companies won't let them upgrade [08:22] so it says bar not found in archive [08:23] crucialhoax: i would never … "use" .. internet exploder [08:23] AstroMix: Should have known. Companies would not allow FF for business use. [08:23] Hi [08:24] i always let a client know that it's a pain in the ass, so i upcharge a little for IE development lower than 8 [08:24] What part of !ot was hard to understand? [08:24] isn't asking why i'm trying to do what i'm doing on topic? [08:24] maybe my explanation was too verbose to be relevant, sorry === fer is now known as Guest40486 [08:26] AstroMix: I was thinking more along the lines of shockwave support for some flash games or something. Either way. [08:27] Well everyone I am out. [08:27] gg [08:27] later crucialhoax, thanks for the input [08:27] ok so what I have is a folder called sitename/ and a tar file called mytar.tar.gz I want to extract whats in mytar.tar.gz into sitename/ but not so that it ends up as sitename/mytar/ or as just mytar/ [08:28] and have it overwrite whatever is in sitename/ [08:28] thats the same === Guest40486 is now known as ferchux [08:28] Crash1hd: couldn't you just extract it anywhere and then mv it where it needs to be? [08:28] AstroMix, possibly but I always have issues with mv === nenolod is now known as moogle [08:28] like? [08:28] can anyone recommend a good app to monitor and update facebook and twitter. Something similar to seesmic, but maybe a bit more light weight? [08:29] AstroMix, Nothing in particular atm just know I have had issues in the past with un accessable files [08:29] * darolu shivers when reading the words 'facebook' and 'twitter' [08:29] Crash1hd: tar xvfz whatever.tar.gz, then mv whatever/ sitename/ [08:29] Crash1hd: provided the new path exists you'll point to it with -C, my bad [08:30] hateball, ahh :) [08:30] Crash1hd: line 65 or so in the tar manpage [08:30] darolu: Yeah, I can see how people have that reaction. But as a writer and podcaster it helps me stay in touch with colleagues. [08:32] hateball, lol that did this sitename/mytar/ === simon_ is now known as Guest58733 [08:32] creating it as a subdirectory [08:33] Crash1hd: yeah it'll do that if you used that path when tar'ing... there should be a switch for that too... [08:33] can anyone recommend a good app to monitor and update facebook and twitter. Something similar to seesmic, but maybe a bit more light weight? [08:34] W43372: update and monitor, as in submit messages to? or? [08:34] W43372: submit message using or? [08:35] something that will let me see status updates from facebook and twitter, as well as let me send my own status updates. [08:35] seesmic works perfectly fine for me, except that the laptop I'm using doesn't have a lot of memory, so I'm looking for something a bit more light weight. [08:37] W43372: I think you can install Gwibber in Karmic as well, and that's possibily what your after. Well 10.04 released April 29th and not stable yet, gets social networking features for Facebook and Twitter and that. [08:38] If no one can think of anything off hand it's not that big of a deal. I just ran across something that concerns me a bit more. I just tried to extract a .rar and I got an error message telling me that it's an unsupported archive type [08:39] W43372: ah yes that [08:39] !rar | W43372 [08:39] W43372: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [08:39] W43372: by the way you should ideally avoide that format if possible, since it's a nasty propritary format. [08:40] sebsebseb: Huh, I was unaware of that... [08:40] !info Gwibber [08:40] Package Gwibber does not exist in karmic === villesoini is now known as Zoikkari [08:41] I had no idea that I'd get that error message either. I never had a problem unrar-ing things when I was using UE. [08:41] W43372: than unrar program, personalley I never had much luck with it when I tried in Ubuntu. However 7-zip or Winrar can be run under Wine, also to deal with these files. [08:42] W43372: What's UE? [08:42] oh Ultimate Edition? [08:42] I have shared a folder on Ubuntu machine using Samba. I can access it from my XP machine, but not from my old Win 98 machine. Win98 machine keeps prompting for a password. I have tried all passwords and even left the password field blank. [08:42] Ascavasaion: Windows 98 hrm, I hope that install isn't Internet connected by the way, since Microsoft stopped supporting WIndows 98, years ago. [08:43] I am trying to figure out how to get the background of emacs to be dark, and the text to be white. I changed my appearance settings in ubuntu to make a dark background with light text, and it makes the terminal dark, but I can't seem to get that in the emacs window. [08:43] sebsebseb: hehehe [08:43] sebsebseb:Ultimate Edition. It [08:43] Ascavasaion: I have a feeling that the Linux distro Samba hasn't been tested with Windows 98, or hardly has been. [08:44] sebsebseb: It's essentially Ubuntu with a whole bunch of extra stuff thrown in and handles all kinds of media extensions from install. [08:44] !join noobzorz [08:44] hateball, Vigo: Thank you for your help. [08:45] sebsebseb: It's pretty nifty, but It's also quite bloated and I encountered all kinds of errors running it. I don't know if that's the fault of the OS itself, or the fact that I'm running on a fairly outdated laptop. [08:45] Ascavasaion: a little off topic, but that's the way to keep unsupported operating systems secure, in fact it's the only way to keep an operating system 100% secure, unless of course you got malicious people that have pshyical access to the computer. === villesoini is now known as Zoikkari [08:45] sebsebseb: It worked before I upgraded from 9.1 to 10.04. [08:45] sebsebseb: I hear you. [08:45] !info unrar [08:45] unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.9.3-1 (karmic), package size 100 kB, installed size 248 kB [08:45] W43372: have you ran this already? it will take care of winrar, mp3, avi, and some other stuff [08:46] how do you tell apt-get (not aptitude) to upgrade only specific packages? (e.g. *git*) [08:46] sebsebseb: Ran what? [08:46] W43372: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:46] W43372: 7-zip is nice, there's a command line version for Desktop Linux, but the graphical Windows version works well under Wine, and it can open and create RAR's and so on. [08:47] sebsebseb: restricted? That sounds somewhat dangerous... [08:47] W43372: Ubuntu does not provide support for those kind of things by default, because of legal reasons, hwoever people can install themselves after woudls. [08:47] I am using Empathy for the first time? Why don't I see the introduction/title line for this channel? Just '#ubuntu' and nothing more? [08:48] nice.. we got visitors to our computer class and my classmates were at rotten.com [08:48] they looked really scared [08:48] W43372: Most distro's don't come with built in propritary multimedia and such support, because of legal reasons. [08:48] !codecs [08:48] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [08:49] app: you can check it, I believe, with /topic [08:49] app: That is on the Gnome site , I think, let me re-check [08:49] app: oh Empathy or Pidgin for IRC, I woudn't recommend that [08:49] app: yeah, xchant works great for IRC [08:50] sebsebseb: So, after I install this restricted thingumbopper I should find unrar-free in the software center? [08:50] app: Konversation also works well for IRC :) ,but KDE app, so will want to put on quite a lot of KDE stuff if you haven't installed KDE stuff before, not a problem though, as long as your install has enough space. Oh and Linux programs tend to take up hardly any space, unlike Windows. Plus you can have a lot of apps installed, without things slowing down like Windows. [08:50] I am just trying to evaluate Empathy, because it is Ubuntu default (on this Karmic) [08:51] app: ok I understand, by the way Pidgin was the default before 9.10 [08:51] I would normally use xchat [08:51] app: Empathy works pretty well. [08:51] W43372: yeah [08:51] app: I haven't had any problems with it. Except for the fact that I can't use AIM on it since yesterday, but as I heard AIM is to blame on that one. [08:52] Yeah, I hate that IRC default changes, because I see this channel as the foremost support advantage in Ubuntu compared to anything else [08:52] W43372: however the program itself, should just open up when you try and open RAR's, but then you might get some issue trying to unrar your archeive, well you'll see I guess. [08:53] And why does Empathy not connect to this channel by default?? Actually adding an IRC account and choosing a network is way too complex. [08:53] app: Hardly anyone uses Empathy for IRC, as far as I know. [08:53] sebsebseb: ok, so if I might have an issue with that, what should I use to unrar this thing? [08:54] !7-zip [08:54] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [08:54] !info 7zip [08:54] Package 7zip does not exist in karmic [08:54] (n ote that my angle here is really evaluating things for my customers, the billion people who don't use Linux yet) [08:54] W43372: 7zip works on the command line as I was saying for Linux distro's [08:54] W43372: however the graphical version is rather nice, unfortunatly it's for Windows only, but works rather well indeed under Wine [08:55] sebsebseb: ok, and where can I get it and read up on how to make it work in terminal? [08:55] I have got ubuntu 10.04 installed on my laptop,works pretty well. I want to install on desktop, I tried last night but cant seem to make it work.. I have got nvidia graphics card... [08:55] BTW, does anyone have exprience or pointers to reviews about the quality of Canonical paid Ubuntu support packages? Or any other paid Ubuntu support for end users?

Ubuntu is free which is one of the main things I like about it. That and I can pretty much do anything I want in it. [08:57] app: I think it's mainly/only business support at this time [08:57] sebsebseb: ok, and where can I get it and read up on how to make it work in terminal? [08:57] sebsebseb, I was asking for experience or reviews, not brochure text [08:58] 10.04 can support my ipod.:-) [08:58] asdqwezxc [08:58] W43372: There's a 7-zip command line app in the Ubuntu repo if I remember correctly, but can't tell you right now for sure, since using another distro right now. [08:59] sebsebseb:what are you using? [08:59] aiakeng: yes, but that's, because of Gnome not Ubuntu [08:59] sebsebseb: I will look. [08:59] When trying to install the boost mpi lib out of the ubuntu repository, it fails because of missing dependencies, a version that doesn't seem to be in the reps anymore. any idea what I can do there short of compiling it myself? [08:59] W43372: Mandriva One 2010 :) [08:59] aiakeng, rhythmbox read my ipod-touch great [09:00] sebsebseb: Is it awesome? I'm still relatively new to this whole Linux thing. [09:01] W43372: Well these days I will recommend Ubuntu or Mandriva to newbies, depending on what they want. Anyway this is off topic, and I don't want to join the off topic channel, so you can pm if you want.

[09:05] h00k, tried it. but does not work. [09:05] hick0rd: perhaps you need the codecs, I'm not sure [09:06] who online [09:06] is it possible to install php-5.1.6 with apt-get? [09:06] ??? [09:07] duanmingsheng: If it is in the repos, certainly [09:07] duanmingsheng: a lot of people are. Feel free to ask your question and anybody that knows it will help if they can [09:07] do you need 5.1.6? what can you do with 5.1.6 that you can't do with 5.2? [09:07] i need 516 because i'm testing my code against a server running that particular version [09:07] having trouble sharing my home folder on a virtual machine, i've told virtualbox which folders to share, but they don't show up in my VM of win xp [09:08] AstroMix: check Network Locations in XP [09:08] AstroMix: they're around in there, there's a Virtualbox Shared something category [09:08] nothing showing there either, have also tried mapping the network drive :/ [09:09] f [09:11] eikonos, from ubuntu repos, only drapper have 5.1.2; if you want to install with apt you will need to find a repository that has that specific version of php, I don't know of any though :/ [09:12] darolu: 5.1.2 would probably work for what i want [09:13] ah, i must need guest additions [09:13] eikonos, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/php5 ; I don't know if just installing that deb will do the trick though, but is the only way I can think of using apt (well dpkg in this case) [09:15] test [09:18] on which time of the day is usually ubuntu released. lika todays beta 2 [09:18] another VM question, (Guest Additions was the answer to my last one), my screen resolution isn't being realized by the guest os — any tips? [09:18] AstroMix, ok so if I choose to tar xvfz foo.tar.gz and then do the mov how do I do it recursively [09:19] i don't think you need to do it recursively [09:19] AstroMix, guest additions installed on the VM? [09:20] say I have folder_of_stuff/ and I want to name it other_stuff, mv "folder_of_stuff" "other_stuff" simple rename [09:20] gentoo4life: tiny xp [09:20] or "mv folder_of_stuff ../" [09:20] to move your folder of stuff up a directory [09:20] hey, when I want to open my folders, it says loading in the task bar and after that it disappears. any idea where to check for errors?

[09:26] hey guys, how do I setup mail so that my app can send emails from my server?

[09:42] can someone help me with burning an iso to my cdrom? [09:42] AstroMix out of curiosity Ubuntu has file and directory encryption.

[09:45] hateball, that is the full procedure [09:47] Crash1hd: right, well.. hmm.. What I thought you wanted to was something like "mv ~/dir1/*/ ~/dir2/" which would move everything inside dir1 to the new location [09:47] Crash1hd: which works fine here [09:47] hateball, yes [09:47] hateball, thats what I am doing and thats when I get the error about subdirectorys [09:48] Hiya, my ati fglrx drivers were playing up today, so I decided to remove all packages with fglrx in the name and then install them again form jockey however now I have rebooted they no longer appear in jockey, how can I get them back? [09:49] AstroMix, there is a very nice software for Windows called: Cryptainer. It is free for up to a certain amount of data to encrypt. It is portable which means that you can create an encrypted file and compile it into an executable file which is a .exe and then just put in the password and the data is recovered. [09:49] Crash1hd: can you test it with something "nonproduction" ? like "mkdir -p ~/dir1/dir2/dir3" and then move that to a new location? I really dont see why it shouldnt work for you [09:50] so after i installed wine in ubuntu, then i can play warcraft again?

[10:31] which package i needed to install oracle 9i [10:31] Morning everyone [10:31] FriGiN: /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:31] apt-get purge?

[10:32] im sure i can fix this hardware issue with commands [10:32] FriGiN: ,but yes, no menu.lst in Grub 2, it's some other file you would edit now instead, see the link I got the bot to give you [10:32] nothing just greep [10:32] allowoverride, did you try resetting gnome to defaults? [10:32] Allowoverride, please take some advice. Don't just install anything you feel like without taking notes. Before I install anything on any computer, i immediately make a DISK mirror image in the event of some mistake. It is fool proof. [10:32] Curly_Q: thanks, point made [10:32] KeepWalking: ok [10:32] coz_: howto? [10:33] i think this is a sudo phat finger actually [10:33] allowoverride, rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity << that will reset gnome to defaults [10:33] neobos: ask oracle; that's a propietary product that is not in the ubuntu repositories [10:33] i need the perms for the basics like the defaults for all files related to this issue [10:33] coz_: thanks looks familiar, havent done that one in ages [10:33] Allowoverride, have you checked the permissions? [10:34] erUSUL: i didt get you [10:34] Curly_Q: this is not a windoze computer [10:34] allowoverride, i assume you tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [10:34] coz_: no i havent [10:34] allowoverride, that would be my first step [10:34] coz_: what will happen ? [10:34] details [10:34] It doesn't matter wheather it is Windows or Linux or UNIX. Permissions is permissions.

The upgrade worked, but now my nvidia video card does nothing on 2.6.32. That is, the monitors go black and it looks like there is no video output what soever.

It makes it very difficult to sort the Places menu into a sensible order. I am not sure what search term to google for. Has anyone else come across this? [10:52] MikeH_: there is always a reason [10:52] MikeH_: you can just "dump" with unetbootin the iso to it [10:52] MikeH_: it's not bootable unless some special stuff is done [10:52] exactly [10:52] MikeH_: but i will act like a iso i.e no permanent changes/storage [10:52] yoda___: Well, open this with that command "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [10:52] MikeH_: unetbootin does that special stuff. i'm actually currently examining the differences between the iso and what unetbootin created [10:53] chelz: I already have the booting aspect sorted, its done with efi [10:53] sooooo any ideas? [10:53] JonathanEllis, don't drag the bookmark. Copy or Cut and paste it. [10:53] erUSUL: That would just be a case of editing fstab, to rw, no? [10:53] MikeH_: no like not a bootloader, the way the kernel is loaded [10:53] done overmind [10:53] MikeH_: no, [10:53] yoda___: Now add this to final line >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/410957/ [10:53] Curly_Q: There is no option for cutting and pasting the bookmarks [10:53] yoda___: (What is in pastebin) [10:53] MikeH_: how about installing with unetbootin and comparing it to the livecd and you'll see the differences on your own [10:54] Curly_Q: Is this a known bug? [10:54] installing onto a usb thing [10:54] JonathanEllis have you right clicked and tried? [10:54] Curly_Q: Yes [10:54] done overmind [10:54] ok [10:54] and saved [10:54] yoda___: Now use 3 commands in terminal >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/410958/ [10:54] ok wait [10:54] I don't know if it is a bug, but, there may be a permissions issue with any file. [10:55] Curly_Q: In the right click menu, I have "Open, Open in New Window, Remove, Rename" [10:55] hi all whats better browser chrome or chromium [10:55] >a overmind [10:55] done [10:56] yoda___: Now check updates and "sudo apt-get install tor privoxy" [10:56] JonathanEllis, it might just be that you don't have permissions to do what you want. Are you superuser or a user? [10:56] meowbuntu: firefox [10:56] Curly_Q: What happens is when I drag a bookmark, either the bookmark above or below moves [10:56] ok wait [10:56] yoda___: But don't start yet, we have to edit config files [10:56] geekphreak, THATS NOT WHAT I ASKED [10:56] ok [10:56] Curly_Q: I am the admin user but I am not running nautilus as superuser [10:56] Check your permissions JohathanEllis. [10:57] yoda___: "sudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config" and add this to final line "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050" [10:57] sudo nautilus [10:57] meowbuntu: there's no appreciable difference. [10:57] meowbuntu: do not yell. both are the same browser. the differences account to nothing ( stability maybe? ) [10:57] wait overmind it doesn't work [10:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/410962/ [10:58] they say me this in italian [10:58] erUSUL, what is the stables then [10:58] they say that there is a damage package [10:58] Curly_Q: I can drag the bookmarks to sort them, but the wrong one moves. If it was a permissions issue wouldn't it be that I could not drag any bookmarks? Can you think of the search term to google? [10:58] something like this [10:58] yoda___: Have you added keys? [10:58] keys? no [10:58] I downloaded already vidalia [10:59] from synaptic [10:59] but not tor [10:59] yoda___: "gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 94C09C7F" "gpg --fingerprint 94C09C7F" "gpg --export 94C09C7F | sudo apt-key add -" [10:59] I coudln't [10:59] !enter > yoda___ [10:59] yoda___, please see my private message [10:59] ok [10:59] well its strange that neitghter chrom or chromium browsers are not in repos [10:59] Curly_Q: Where would I check the permissions you mention? [10:59] can anyone tell me why the karmic installer converted my ext3 /home partition to ext4 AND formatted it? There was no format option and I was only trying to see if I could create a new partition for Karmic [10:59] yoda___: spacebar not your enterkey it is not. [10:59] JonathanEllis, just dragging any bookmark doesn't mean that is permitted. Not only that, you are just moving the icons, that's it. [11:00] hello there! [11:00] meowbuntu: there is a ppa for them [11:00] gmt2010: all data gone huh? [11:00] airtonix, ok. [11:00] meowbuntu: Google chrome is in a repo. If you download it from google's site it will install the correct repo [11:00] geekphreak: yeah, just a lost and found folder. 100GB gone [11:00] JonathanEllis open up the console and type in: ls -al [11:00] gmt2010: ouch [11:00] gmt2010: tried with some data recovery tools ?

[11:02] Curly_Q: ls -al just show the permissions on all files in my home folder. You are right that dragging the bookmarks in nautilus just changes the order of the icons. Thats what I want to do, but when I drag an icon the wrong one moves [11:02] yoda___: There are 3 commands [11:03] ignore yoda___ all [11:03] yoda___: First "gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 94C09C7F", then "gpg --fingerprint 94C09C7F", finally "gpg --export 94C09C7F | sudo apt-key add -" [11:03] ok [11:03] yoda___: First do one, then second and finally the third [11:03] ok [11:03] DOn't put all in the same line :P [11:03] ok [11:04] thanks a lot for your patience [11:04] :) [11:04] :* [11:04] :) [11:04] yoda___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:04] no wait [11:04] Okay [11:05] JonathanEllis, perhaps you have water or spilled liquids in your mouse or keyboard. Or is your mouse USB or other? [11:05] it take a lot to response and return to the start [11:06] ok done all three commands [11:06] ok now? [11:06] yoda___: Now check updates and install privoxy and tor [11:06] JonathanEllis I am a Repair Technician and Specialist. I deal daily with troubleshooting hardware and software problems. [11:06] ok [11:06] yoda___: "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install tor privoxy" [11:07] well? [11:07] Gamarok__: ? [11:07] ok [11:07] Curly_Q: No its not a mouse problem. :-) I may not have described the problem accurately. When I grab the icon, the correct one moves but when I release it, the icon order is not as I expected - ie either the icon has moved to the wrong place in the list or the wrong icon has moved. Sorry I am having troubles describing the problem correctly. That's why I am struggling to google the right thing to find a solution [11:08] yoda___: Now "sudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config" and add this tho final line >> "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050" [11:08] wait they told me again there is a damage package [11:08] :'( [11:08] Curly_Q: Thank you for trying to help me by the way. I do appreciate it. I am frustrated that I cannot find the words to describe the problem correctly in a way that is searchable [11:08] yoda___: Which one? [11:08] I paste the response [11:08] Okay [11:08] JonathanEllis, I have seen this happen before. Either it is a fluke or it may be that your mouse is not recognized by the kernel. Try using a different mouse first. [11:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/410970/ [11:09] it is italian [11:09] Don't give up. [11:09] how can i remove ubuntu and just boot into win7 i mean usuall i select it through grub so i i just format the drive won that erase the grub too and i wouldnt be able to boot in to win 7 [11:10] yoda___: Try installing that packages manually [11:10] ok but how? [11:10] help me I am newbie [11:10] :'( [11:10] Gamarok__: Why do you want to remove Ubuntu? [11:10] Gamarok__: as for Grub... [11:10] sebsebseb: why do you want to know why ? [11:10] yoda___: sudo apt-get install libevent-1.4-2 libssl0.9.8 [11:11] Curly_Q: The mouse is a Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman, connected via USB. I dont have any other problems with the mouse. I mean I have not noticed any issues in any other application or any other behaviour. In every other respect the mouse works exactly as expected. I do have a bus mouse somewhere but I will have to find it, plug it in and reboot before I can check [11:11] ok [11:11] wait [11:11] coz i want replace it with mandriva and i just dont want to create more partitions airtonix [11:11] Gamarok__: oh nice your going Mandriva [11:11] ok done [11:11] Gamarok__: just triboot instead [11:11] Gamarok__: i want talking to you and you shouldn't answer those kinds of questions that question why you're removing ubuntu. [11:12] Gamarok__: right so Ubuntu 9.10 is on there at the moment? [11:12] yoda___: "Now sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install privoxy tor" [11:12] sebsebseb: so you dont actually have a useful answer? [11:12] ok [11:12] airtonix: yes they can [11:12] Mandriva install should detect ubuntu and promp you to overwrite it [11:12] else Mandriva sucks [11:12] :> [11:12] OMG they told me alway the same thing [11:12] :'( [11:12] airtonix: I thought he was just going to remove Ubuntu and do Windows, but if doing Mandriva :) [11:12] :'( [11:12] yoda___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:12] Curly_Q: Is there a way I can do a video screen capture so I can demonstrate the problem to you? [11:12] Gamarok, unless you have a floppy disk try a USB floppy with a Win98 SE boot disk with SMART on it. Boot up with CD options and then type in SMART.ext twice then run FDISK/MBR after that do a fdisk and delete the partitions or whatever then create a new partition then format the disk. [11:12] sebsebseb: sigh. how does asking "why do you want to remove ubuntu" in any way change the answer you give to : "how to remove ubuntu and make windows the main and only operating system " [11:13] yoda___: try only "sudo apt-get install tor" [11:13] ok [11:13] B|aSS: yes it probably does that so :) [11:13] Gamarok__: first thing, formatting the ubuntu partition will do half of what you want. the second thing is that you might want to first use the windows MBR repair tools (see ##windows for how to do this ) [11:13] ;) [11:13] but I should be root ? [11:13] I was not root [11:13] JonathanEllis, I don't need to see a screen shot. I understand what you are doing. It seems that you may need to Google this. [11:14] yoda___: sudo = Root [11:14] ok [11:14] yes [11:14] sebsebseb: this is not the channel to justify your phobias. [11:14] they say me there are problems [11:14] yoda___: What problems? [11:14] unable to find package [11:14] sebsebseb: if someone does not wnat to use ubuntu you dont respond with "why" in a support channel. [11:14] Curly_Q: Unfortunately I cant find the right search term. Could you help me with this please? If I dont ask the right question I wont get the right answer [11:14] Gamarok__: If your just going to have Wndows booting up, what airtonix said, If it's true that you want to put another distro on instead, when you install it, you can delete Ubuntu's partition and have it taking care of Grub. [11:14] yoda___: Have you done "sudo apt-get update" ? [11:14] !troll | airtonix [11:14] airtonix: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [11:15] before [11:15] sebsebseb: /facedesk [11:15] wait I try again [11:15] yoda___: Well [11:15] * B|aSS walk over airtonix. [11:16] they told me alway there is a damage package [11:16] yoda___: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" >> Then add this to final line "deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor karmic main" [11:16] ok [11:16] JonathanEllis check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12331 http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=Ubuntu+copy+and+paste+problems&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=a2c66d4f91169d04 [11:16] airtonix: You shoudn't argue in a support channel by the way, or in your case, try to argue with someone. [11:16] Gamarok__: so when you say "i want to remove ubuntu" and when asked " why " the correct reply to that is : Because i don't have enough chocalate cookies and my dog is turning green. [11:16] yoda___: omg, was my fault... [11:17] airtonix: now they are gone [11:17] ah why? [11:17] airtonix: might have been your fault why they left as well [11:17] What is the best Note-taking application according to you? [11:17] there is already that line [11:17] anyway [11:17] * airtonix hands sebsebseb a tissue for the tears [11:17] I like Gnotes, but Basket is nice as well. [11:17] yoda___: Remove this and add this "http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org karmic main" [11:17] ok [11:17] Then "sudo apt-get update" [11:18] yoda___: And sudo apt-get install tor [11:18] hi where are the applicatyion icone kept [11:18] wait [11:19] Curly_Q: Thanks but I wasnt having issues with copy paste but with ordering bookmarks in the places pane and menu in nautilus [11:19] should beta2 be out today? [11:19] shouldn't even [11:19] POE: yes and #ubuntu+1 is Lucid channel at the moment [11:19] I understand, but, every little link will bring you to your goal JonathanEllis. [11:20] meowbuntu: depends on how the application choosesto specify the icon. in most cases its part of the current icon theme. [11:20] OMG they alway told me the same error [11:20] POE: Beta 2 out in a few hours or so I guess [11:20] :'( :'( [11:20] sebsebseb: alright, all i needed to know, thanks [11:20] ola [11:20] meowbuntu: in other cases, you'll find the icon in /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps/ [11:20] overmind :'( [11:21] yoda___: pff... no idea, I never had this error [11:21] I have learned one basic thing with Ubuntu, you need to ask permission to go to the bathroom and boot or halt the Linux box. [11:21] :( [11:21] i translate you the italian so you could understand [11:21] wait [11:21] * Erg0lite Hello. [11:22] While browsing yesterday a screen appeared, written in broken english and with the linux penguin at the top, informing me that I had been hacked. Should I be worried about this? Could they have done other damage? [11:22] Curly_Q: so you prefer that i can ssh to your machine without permission and wipe the hard drive without permission ?

I hope your problem is solved. [11:29] colin_: uh where did I get boot up thing from? [11:29] Curly_Q: yep seems your right. not sure where I got boot up from [11:30] It could have been from a bad apt-get install. [11:30] Problem was not at boot up, but while browsing.

[11:33] steve_: Deutsche Support in #ubuntu-de [11:33] thx sebsebseb [11:33] I get a whole bunch of these errors: hub 1-7:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2 [11:34] steve_: np [11:34] and I don't know what that means [11:34] Colin, it may be that again and I keep on saying this that you may allow permissions to write to your drive which should not have been set in the first place. [11:34] !de steve_ [11:34] i've got an LG USB HDD, each time my laptop changes power source while it's plugged in, it gets unmounted, and i have to reboot before i can use it again, what could it be? [11:35] unable to enumerate USB device comes appears with the dmesg command, any ideas on how I can diagnose this? [11:35] We have a broken factoid :/ !de factoid doesn't use UTF-8 so there're a buncha question marks instead of letters with dots [11:35] Hey guys, How can I find out the path where TCL was installed? [11:35] DrDank, use synaptic and check the properties for the package [11:36] DrDank, try 'whereis program_name' [11:36] or 'which binname' [11:36] I typed in whereis tcl and it just says tcl: [11:36] tcl is not the program name. [11:37] use tab completion to find out what the program name is. [11:37] Oh, I dunno.. Im just now learning linux (like 3 rd day on it.) [11:37] DrDank: locate tcl [11:37] Thank's a lot Curly_Q it worked! In fact I did that yesterday too but in a rush I forgot to note down the" ifup config eth0" and I totally forgot about it today, thank's again. [11:37] DrDank, tclsh [11:37] why do you need its location? [11:37] sound right? /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4/ [11:37] nucc1, trying to setup a eggy. [11:38] DrDank, dunno what a eggy is, but, if tcktk is what you want, then the one with the 'bin' in it is probably what you want [11:38] err, [11:38] nucc1: he needs to send a postcard...what does it matter? [11:38] i used tclsh and it didnt do anything. just showed % [11:38] tcl is a programming language, i think [11:38] yes, it is. (tcl = programming language) [11:38] airtonix, what if i could suggest a better thing to do? [11:39] Your welcome Erg0lite. Glad to help. [11:39] nucc1: 'better' is subjective. [11:39] synaptic will tell you where all the files went on installtion [11:39] Question: is there any significant difference between bluetooth manager and bluetooth applet? Do i need both of them running? [11:39] airtonix, if he was writing a script, perhaps i could have said he didn't need to know the location. that's what i mean by 'better' [11:39] bleh, i removed Evolution but it's still stuck in some menus *launches alacarte to get rid of dumb entries*... [11:39] /usr/bin/tclsh8.4 [11:40] that's what mine says [11:40] DrDank: you have two options to find what you want : use dpkg -L (which requires you know the tcl package name), or browse through the output of 'locate tcl' [11:40] DrDank, i think it should be "whereis tclsh" [11:40] before you can locate, do a sudo updatedb [11:41] Thanks all. Got to go. Speak to you again. [11:42] Why not just do... "find / -iname '*tcl*' 2>/dev/null" [11:42] Altough i believe this will return a huge ton of stuff [11:43] Oh, there. Is it possible to make find sort files by permissions? So far, I have to do "ls -l | grep 'drwxr-x--x'" or similar, but this isn't very script friendly, nor is always satisfiable. [11:43] whereis tclsh = tclsh: /user/bin/tclsh8.4 /usr/bin/tclsh /usr/share/man/man1/tclsh.1.gz [11:43] How in the world do I install that? [11:44] and sudo updatedb doesnt work. [11:44] command not found [11:44] /usr/bin/tclsh [11:44] run that right there [11:44] that looks like the one [11:45] you should install updatedb, it's awesome === sam_ is now known as Guest18196 [11:45] psy, how do I run it? (sorry im total newbie.) [11:45] sudo apt-get install updatedb? [11:45] DrDank: just do "/usr/bin/tclsh", that's all? [11:45] prolly [11:46] found find package. [11:46] Altough technically, /usr/bin is in $PATH for most so i don't see a point in using a full path [11:46] updatedb indexes your disk so you can find anything with locate [11:46] but only when you tell it to [11:46] unlike newfangled desktop search crap [11:47] overmind are you here? [11:47] So, I have Ubuntu 9.04 UNR installed on my netbook..except one day I turned it on, and I have a background, and icons on the desktop, but everything else is gone..making the GUI basically unusable because I can't go to applications to start any programs, I can't click on a bar to add the applications thing, etc [11:47] psy, I tried sudo apt-get install updatedb - it said couldnt find package. [11:47] This has happened to a total of 2 of my machines now, what's happening? [11:47] overmind I installed it [11:47] :) [11:47] hola [11:47] quien eres?? [11:48] quien es etabob??

How can I resume the upgrade? === tdawgedogg is now known as basketdude [12:04] Nope, updating didn't fix it.

[12:12] Just got done setting up the ne 10.04 beta [12:12] This is awsome!!!! [12:13] It's like all the problems I've been having with my netbook just disappeared! [12:14] Now, who's really here? [12:14] hello. I have a question about gnome-power-manager and misc. wireless devices. AFAIU, g-p-m has feature, which can detect power charge of connected devices (phones, keyboards, mices, pdas, etc.). But i've tried to connect couple mices (RF), phones (via bluetooth), some keyboard (via bluetooth) and can't get power state of these devices. So, my question is - how to detect, does device itself has feature for providing such power information? any wireless device shou [12:14] ld have such feature? does any additional actions required in g-p-m for getting such information? I will be very appreciate for any clues. [12:14] phoenixandthor, lucid support and discussion in #ubuntu+1 please [12:17] Hello, i need to find my wlan-router ip-address from my lan. how i can scan whole 192.168.1.0/24 network for devices [12:17] I think I have an issue with PAM... it would appear that I changed my hash using passwd and something else didn't get updated. I can log in fine from gdm, but not when I lock the screen using gnome-screensaver or screen's ^a-x, for example. I once did an strace and figured out the exact system call and place it originated from in the source but I couldn't make heads or tails of the authentication algorithm. [12:17] ia: Regarding gpm, I think it does that sort of thing under the hood and away from user interaction. I don't know if this helps, but when ever I connect a mouse to my netbook, it powers off when the netbook goes to sleep (this both for 9.10 stable and the 10.04 beta) [12:17] hrm, let me repeat that last part: I once did an strace and figured out the exact system call and place it originated from in the source but I couldn't make heads or tails of the authentication algorithm. [12:18] bburhans: not an expert on this [12:19] but if you used default settings when setting up your router, it should say in the documentation what the default ip is [12:20] Also, a lot of manufacturers are making it even easier for users by associating a a default host name to their produects. [12:20] you need to enable WINS for the hostname thing to be helpful on ubuntu, though [12:20] How is GDM enabled now in 9.10? [12:21] Anyone available? Need to know how to update/upgrade TCL I have tcl 8.4 but im trying to install eggy and it says i need a newer version [12:21] when is beta2 out [12:21] I'm talking about how some routers allow you to type in something like routerlogin.net and get to the web interface [12:21] DrDank: What version is it requestion? [12:22] 6.5 [12:22] 8.5 [12:22] i think i got it. [12:22] dmarkey: I am using beta right now [12:22] wget ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_5 [12:22] phoenixandthor, yes, you're using Beta1. [12:22] nope, says no such file [12:22] He asked for Beta2's release. [12:23] beta2? I thought I was on beta2? [12:23] Pretty sure you aren't, as Beta1 is all that's out. [12:23] oh [12:23] DrDank, tcl8.5 is in the ubuntu repo [12:23] Just looked at the image I burned, lol [12:24] !lucid [12:24] 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 [12:24] uhm. it says tcl8.5 is already the newest version. 0 upgraded. 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. [12:24] whats up w that? [12:24] well nevermind. im tired of fooling with it. I just now looked at the clock its 7:30, i shoulda been in the bed 5 hrs ago. lol [12:25] Despite the fact that it says it's not stable, it's a lot more stable for me on a Lenovo S10 then 9.10 is [12:25] "hub 1-7:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2" is spamming my dmesg [12:25] seriously annoying [12:25] Anyone know how to kill a single screen window from a screen session? [12:25] and, I think it's affecting my touchscreen [12:25] I have screen window number 8 that is hung [12:25] and I just want to kill that one [12:25] 9.10 made me stop using ubuntu for a while. I'm going to try 10.04 real soon [12:25] it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't [12:25] !touchscreen [12:25] lol [12:26] kiaas, why did you stop using ubuntu? what was wrong with 9.10? [12:26] I have had no issues with it, infact there were many improvements. [12:26] quentusrex_, severe audio issues and a few bugs with graphics [12:26] stuff is broken, that's what [12:26] Weird, I haven't noticed anything broken 'out of the ordinary' [12:26] They took away the nice little start up services UI without puting in a replacement for upstart [12:27] They messedup the initial config with sound, took me ages to figure out how to play OA without it sounding like a beehive [12:27] OA ? [12:27] Open Rena [12:27] open arena [12:28] phoenixandthor, Why not just use System->Preferences->Startup Applications [12:28] Yay, installing xubuntu-desktop got me a working GUI again === quentusrex_ is now known as quentusrex [12:28] that only configures my desktop session, not system services, like that freaken cups I don't need cause I don't have a printer [12:29] I hope they put a gui in for upstart in the final release [12:30] that thing is wicked quick on my system [12:30] I have a password manager and I always use a pw phrase to unlock it. On the longin screen there is a another Key File tic box with a navigation button. What is that for and when would I want to use it? [12:31] sanddevil, which password management app you talking about? [12:31] tons of them out there [12:31] keepassx [12:31] I never used that before, chime in any time guys [12:32] Maybe you should google that [12:32] ok thanks [12:32] If you make your pppoe connection using sudo pppoeconf could that cause a conflict between it and the network manager? [12:32] I think so [12:33] As I think NM uses that as a back end anyway [12:33] Can someone confirm this?

[12:35] anyone have the code [12:36] google it [12:36] I got a couple problems, one with the touchscreen, it sometimes works on boot, and sometimes doesn't [12:36] elpaco, I was about to offer to install ubuntu on a VM and pastebin that, but it would take too long. [12:37] heh np knoppies [12:37] its failing to boot filesystem on boot...i would just like to reset it...then i can work with it once it boots [12:37] when it doesn't work, it's behaviour is that the mouse cursor sits in at the top of the screen, but the x axis almost works [12:38] psy, could it be that its getting some dummy input? maybe it thinks there is a finger there? Im not sure what would cause that though. [12:38] y axis is about say 20 pixels and the x axis is about twice the width of the screen [12:38] If I upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10, will I have to reinstall apache, mysql and php and th other programs? Also will my data stay or get deleted in the upgrade [12:38] when it works, it works flawlessly [12:38] it's like lucky dip on reboot [12:39] I hate inconsistent bugs === zz_zz_Darky is now known as Darky [12:39] saganbyte, with an upgrade, its supposed to keep all your data, but if its real important stuff, I suggest you back it up just in case. [12:39] saganbyte, not sure about the LAMP. [12:40] dmesg is also constantly getting spammed with USB errors and I don't know if it's related or a red herring [12:40] saganbyte, I do a backup and clean install anyway, Ive had a bad experience with upgrades.

[12:49] i need sıme help about init.d script [12:50] yes [12:50] can anyone help me? [12:50] automatic partition percentage decision [12:51] autoclesis: If Windows 7 is like Vista, you should let it resize itself, or data loss might happen. Oh yeah important data should be backed up anyway when doing partition stuff, in case data loss happens. If you use guided install for Ubuntu it sets up a dual boot for you, no seperate /home though which can be rather useful if you ever want to re install or distro change. [12:51] no separate home if i don't care about reinstall ? [12:51] autoclesis: if your going to manually set up. 10GB for / big seperate home and SWAP space depending on how much RAM you have [12:51] i need help [12:51] no , not manual, just auto [12:51] autoclesis: right well the guided install does the partitions for you [12:52] so the percentage choiie is meaningless? [12:52] choice [12:52] autoclesis: there's an option that will resize Windows and put Ubuntu on for you, without seperate /home [12:52] help pls!! [12:52] Gracias, sebsebseb [12:52] :) [12:52] I'm struggling ot get rid of skype - how do I call phones using open source on my (9.10) box? [12:53] autoclesis: however what I said regarding re size and data ^ [12:53] !patience | ik_ [12:53] ik_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait.

[12:54] sebsebseb, human resource management? [12:54] autoclesis: np [12:54] regenerate: ekiga combined with a suitable sip provider should be able to do it [12:54] i m looking working init.d script for an application [12:54] regenerate: but I doubt you'll be able to do it for fre [12:54] Slart: :) I was thinking ekiga as well, but wasn't sure what I would have typed in [12:55] i got the CD way faster than 4-6 weeks [12:55] autoclesis: Ok good :) [12:55] Slart, can you suggest a decent SIP (good morals) company? [12:55] yeah [12:55] or sebsebseb ^ [12:55] can your offer me web sites about it? [12:55] sebsebseb: I think SIP might be an important part of it.. ekiga is just one app/client, afaik [12:55] i'm using debian. if i make my own xinitrc in home i lose default colors configurations of some appls. f.e i run my window manager and www browser by xinitrc. then when i load xterm it's black on white. situation is different when i delete xinitrc and load wm by startx [12:55] and not too worried about free - I know there's costs involved :( [12:55] couse my scripts doesn t work [12:56] permission issue [12:56] peleczek, debian? try #debian [12:56] regenerate: They don't have a native Linux version of their program, but they have instructions on how to set up their service in ekiga, I guess this is the kind of thing you're after http://www.voipcheap.com [12:56] regenerate: I haven't used it like that myself.. I can't really recommend any sip providers.. isn't there a list on the ekiga site? might be a good start [12:56] How do I figure out why my keyboard became frozen and my machine would not answer a ping? [12:56] i've tried there but i got no help so i came here [12:57] yeah - I'll check it out. Thanks Slart - sebsebseb best to ya... ;) [12:57] one good reason to switch to ubuntu then instead of debian. [12:57] peleczek, its not supported here. Ubuntu only. be patient in #debian [12:57] quietone: you can check the log files.. but there's no guarantee there's anything useful in there.. /var/log/syslog is one.. /var/log/kern.log is another [12:57] peleczek: theres also ##linux [12:58] regenerate: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Calling#Using_Ekiga_to_do_PC-to-phone_calls [12:58] yeah i know guys and tnx but ubuntu is really very similar to debian. i've used this and this. so i think it's very possible that my siutation would occur in ubuntu too [12:58] anyone see my issue? [12:59] regenerate: the service I mentioned though, as far as I know you need a land line for it. [12:59] how do you update Ubuntu threw terminal? [12:59] peleczek, no. please take it elsewhere. we have asked several times now. [12:59] lacy: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:59] apt-get install upgrade [12:59] Slart: thanks. I did that and nothing helpful there. It happened overnight when only transmission was running. Ideas? [13:00] i m looking working init.d script for an application x [13:00] quietone: well.. common stuff to check is overheating.. (make sure the fans aren't full of dust and crap) or bad memory (use the memory checker at the grub menu to check that) [13:00] ik_: its possible its ran by upstart these days. it totally depends on the service [13:00] ik_: look in /etc/init also [13:01] i need for my application [13:01] script samples i need [13:01] my scripts doesnt work [13:01] i think permisson issue [13:02] i have a java based a program [13:02] it s running over a sh file [13:02] !enter [13:02] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

But I haven't done a memory check in a while. [13:05] ik_: Please stop pressing enter between every few words. [13:05] ik_, please dont use the enter key as punctuation [13:06] quietone: I'm not saying those are the only reasons.. just two very common ones.. it could be so many things.. broken hardware, broken software etc etc [13:07] Hi, I have a shell script I am writing to check the permissions of log & cache files - not done too many of these.

Never had problems with the X-Server. It seems that the ubuntu USB-HotPlug system is not recognizing your mouse correctly sometimes. check 'dmesg' in a shell after you plugged the mouse. the last few lines of the dmesg output should give you some hints.

[13:33] haavaros: gparted should let you do this on a live cd [13:33] minimec, thanks [13:34] minimec: No, I have everything on one partition atm. [13:35] minimec: I guess just moving the homefolder to a seperate partition would serve the same purpose. How do I do that? [13:35] haavaros: Wouldn't it be a solution to create a new big /home partition (maybe seperate hd) and moove all your personal data to that /home partition, as this is probably the biggest folder ;) [13:35] äîáðûé äåíü [13:35] i have a quick question whats the latest kernel? from 9.10 ubuntu [13:35] âîïðîñ åñòü [13:35] áëÿ [13:35] minimec: Yep :) Googling it now [13:36] haavaros: 1. create a new partition with gparted --> format ext4, mpuntpoint /home .... ;) [13:36] I have a new display. But ubuntu doesnt recognise it, and the max resolution I can set is only 800x600. How do I tell ubuntu that it is capable of more? [13:37] video card?

My previous display worked normally with this videocard === lacy is now known as lacysinux [13:37] but it is ATI [13:38] monitor ?

I'd like to be able to write to the partition from both os'es [13:38] koltroll: ntfs [13:39] lacysinux: Monitor is samsung 933hd [13:39] haavaros: There could be some problems with user names... Could be that your user folder changes rights to 'user 1000 or so, depending the order your user were added... first user --> 1000' [13:39] im trying to automatically mount one of my NTFS partitions as ntfs-3g. Each time I do though, it mounts it as fuseblk and sets folder permissions to 777, file perms to 755 or something. How can i change this? [13:40] haavaros: ... but probably not... ;) [13:40] minimec: Ok ... I'll give it a go :) [13:40] hello! I've got a question: is it possible to create a recovery partition starting from a LiveCD? I mean something like the recovery partitions some laptops have... [13:40] lacysinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video#Monitors%20running%20at%20low%20resolution Is this what I should read?

[13:41] lacysinux: yes. And as I said, with previous monitor I used a much bigger resolution and it worked fine [13:42] lacysinux: no proprietary drivers were found [13:42] sebsebseb: no way to put the files of the LiveCD to a partition instead of an USB pendrive following the wiki and creating a grub entry? === patrick is now known as Guest85500 [13:42] one sec [13:43] Zider, oh really. Didn't know write support was just built in for ntfs.. but it seems to be? :) [13:43] elegos: oh booting an ISO well contents of it from a partition rather than a CD? [13:43] koltroll: not with the kernel driver, but with ntfs-3g [13:43] anyone [13:44] ntfs-3g mounting as fuseblk, cant seem to get permissions correct either. I'd like folders to be 775 or 755, files to be 644 or something [13:44] using dmask and fmask [13:44] sebsebseb: yep, just to being able not to burn CDs for every version of Ubuntu, but making possible the usage of a partition instead of an USB pendrive. In this way I may sacrifice ~1GB of space on the hard disk instead of an entire USB pendrive [13:44] Zider, hm. is this perhaps something that has changed in lucid? Cause I can mount my NTFS-disk and write to it [13:44] koltroll: no idea, I don't use desktop ubuntu [13:45] anymore, that is [13:45] Zider, alright. But I'll look into that. thanks alot [13:45] koltroll: no prob [13:45] elegos: I think what you want can be done and that it will also be rather complex to set up. [13:46] coucou y quelqu'un [13:47] sebsebseb: I have never used the "create a bootable USB pendrive" feature of Ubuntu, I may try selecting /dev/sda1 just as a try [13:47] is there a channel for ports/ubuntu developers?

If I remember correctly, and then something about how you would make a CDFS partition put the ISO contents on there, and then get Grub to boot it. [13:48] don't know why i even bother [13:48] sorry I just rebooted [13:48] did you say anything in the meantime? [13:48] elegos: so as I was saying it would be complacted to do [13:48] hey i want to install kubuntu desktop on ubuntu 9.10 but i have a problem [13:48] sebsebseb: thank you :) I'm not warned by the complexity, I like to test my skills :) [13:49] !usb | elegos [13:49] elegos: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:49] eid: then give us infos about the problem [13:49] !details | eid [13:49] eid: Please give us full details.

Is there any common cause for a USB-photocamera not showing up in the locations-menu? [13:50] elegos: That shoul be possible... 1. create a partition...

[15:21] geekphreak: but is there a simple program to use (like visual studio etc) to create it? where just to get buttons and write a command what happens when i press them? [15:22] or do I have to learn c++? [15:22] marcuy, okay, take a look at the status file and search for mysql packages there... you may need to remove more them one from the list to apt-get reinstall all it is needed [15:22] geekphreak, I can't install any of them, apt-get shows http://pastebin.com/TBRkmH2z [15:22] tumii: well coding you do def. require, you can use qy frontend like qdevlop to develop those apps , but c/c++ knowledge is needed [15:22] tumii, even if you use any clever IDE you still have to learn the language... [15:23] timmillwood: alternatively, you could try a language like Python and use 'quickly' to help you along the way, including packaging [15:23] !info quickly [15:23] quickly (source: quickly): build new apps quickly. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.2.6 (karmic), package size 43 kB, installed size 392 kB [15:23] h00k: was that meant for me? [15:23] ok maginot I will try that [15:23] hello there [15:24] timmillwood: bah, sorry! [15:24] marcuy, if you like I could give you some help, but for that I would like to inspect the file [15:24] marcuy start fresh, its seems to be messed up === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [15:24] tumii: see my message up there regarding quickly, I hilighted wrong :) [15:25] * maginot is going to pick up some coffee [15:25] I want to access my files from a os x machine.. what am i looking for? [15:25] #macosx maybe¿ [15:25] :) [15:26] ... files are on a ubuntu machine [15:26] geekphreak, sorry but what do you mean with "start fresh"? [15:26] LekeFly, you need some manner of sharing the files from OSX - nfs, samba, ssh are typical linux options, not sure what OSX has available [15:26] marcuy: uninstall mysql , purge them, then reinstall it [15:26] maginot, thanks but I have removed every description of the mysql-server package of status file and luck yet :( [15:27] ZykoticK9: AFP:) [15:27] is there a reason why my usb flash drive is no longer automatically mounted? it shows up in lsusb, and it works on other computers [15:27] What does drwxr-xr-x [15:27] LekeFly: sftp [15:27] geekphreak, I've done it but I can't get mysql-server-5.0 or mysql-server-5.1 to install now [15:27] ardian_flossk: Owner can read, write, execute, group and others can only read/execute. 766 [15:27] marcuy: can you try something for me? [15:28] geekphreak, sure [15:28] marcuy, that is odd... did you changed any repository or this happen after an update? [15:28] geekphreak, any help is appreciated === boost is now known as Guest29117 [15:28] ardian_flossk: Just remember OGW 421 [15:28] maginot, this happened after upgrading to mysql-server-5.1 [15:28] thanks much [15:28] marcuy opentrminal plz [15:29] mguy: OGW? it's UGO. === Guest29117 is now known as pcodes [15:29] geekphreak, yes I'm at it [15:29] the-dude: owner-group-world, some people say user-group-other [15:29] marcuy in terminal type this >> sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 [15:29] tell me what error you get [15:29] theadmin: 755 = rwxr-xr-x [15:30] hi [15:30] i instaled a program [15:30] llutz: Uh... 1 = x, 2 = w, 4 = r. 4+1... Ooops... My bad lol. Those numbers. [15:30] mguy: ? [15:30] how can i call it without being in the folder where it is¿? [15:30] the-dude: Was a tab fail, was meant to go to me [15:31] okidoki [15:31] like "ls" etc? [15:31] wikiik: type the full path [15:31] wikiik: for those command just type ls [15:31] marcuy how did it go? [15:31] theadmin: howdy my friend :) [15:31] geekphreak: the problem is that i want to execute the binary without typing the full path [15:32] geekphreak, this is the command I was trying before [15:32] geekphreak, so this package chose mysql-server-5.1 [15:32] geekphreak: We're friends? Cool :D I'm fine [15:32] marcuy yes thats a new version , you were running 5.0 [15:32] i don't in which env_var i should include the path.... [15:32] marcuy did it install? [15:33] geekphreak, yes, when I made the upgrade it was when this happened [15:33] wikiik: the only situation where you have to type full path is, if folder is not in ur path [15:33] geekphreak, it doesn't installs [15:33] wikiik: You can just use the full path. If you want a envvar, it's PATH [15:33] wikiik, do "echo $PATH" and see if /home/$USERNAME/bin is in your path - create the directory if it doesn't exist, then create a link to the program -- then full path won't be required [15:34] marcuy did you purge all mysql server first? [15:34] Xorg etc. sucks all my CPU 100 %, every 10 minutes or so. Compiz is not the culprit. It has been so since a couple of months or so. [15:35] i've done sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server-5.0 [15:35] terof: Can you get what process is that evil? [15:35] marcuy why both lo, you just need one man [15:35] geekphreak, sorry, i've done sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server-5.0 [15:35] geekphreak, it was a typo ;) [15:35] marcuy also the client? [15:35] How do I know if I'm running 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu, I forgot what I downloaded [15:36] xteejx, uname -m [15:36] terof: could be leaky graphics driver [15:36] i'm trying to stop networking but the init script says i still have network devices mounted. mount and cat /proc/mounts only list tmpfs ext3 and vfat file systems [15:36] ZykoticK9: Thanks :) [15:36] geekphreak, yes [15:36] thanks [15:36] Always Xorg about 40 % and then another about 40-50 % for example Firefox, Pidgin, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-system-logs, etc. [15:36] hcl2: Try something like "ifdown eth0"... Maybe that? [15:37] geekphreak, http://pastebin.com/TLxRk7xp [15:37] marcuy: thats wierd, let me check error [15:37] soreau: always Xorg +1 another process.

Meh, updates. They always break stuff... :/ [15:40] i hate it when my graphics driver leaks all over my distrib :| [15:40] open this folder /etc/apparmor.d [15:40] Every time I try to connect my keyboard via bluetooth, my usb keyboard and mouse cash and the system becomes unreponsive.

[15:41] kernel_geek: Typically a hard lock indicates a failure in some kernel module. Perhaps you can try a newer kernel to see if it helps [15:42] i'm executing a script and something strange happens [15:42] when i execute it says mkdir: command not found [15:42] wikiik: Such as? [15:42] soreau: I cant update my kernel for other reasons =/ It uses the btusb module [15:42] wikiik: What script / [15:42] i tried to use the mkdir command and runs well [15:42] wikiik: Does mkdir exist? [15:43] geekphreak, i've done it [15:43] is it possible to install obiquity on a current Ubuntu installation? [15:43] ubiquity* [15:43] geekphreak, I'm gonna install again to see what happens [15:43] soreau: Using Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller -> more probably a regression of some sort. [15:43] i cant remove apache. I have used sudo apt-get remove apache2 and the message says its not found but localhost is still taking me to /var/www and rendering PHP [15:43] soreau: yes it exists, or at least outside the script [15:43] kernel_geek: Why cant you upgrade your kernel? [15:43] marcuy: install 5.1 ok [15:43] it is a batch script [15:43] elegos: Since it's supposed to be a package, it should be, but why one would want? [15:43] wikiik: .bat?! [15:43] wikiik: Are you running the script from within the same environment? [15:43] the same error appears with cp, basename, cp, cat [15:44] geekphreak, "Unable to set password for the MySQL "root" user" [15:44] Hello, I'm having a problem with my bootup sequence. My computer shut down while I was upgrading and now when I turn it on, I'm dumped to shell with an alert! about not finding /dev/disk/uuid. [15:44] soreau: Beacuse i'm using a special multimedia kernel with loads of stuff added in for audio creation and an RT patch... [15:44] marcuyok dont worry [15:44] wikiik: Could you please add this as the first line on the script? "#!/bin/bash" [15:44] but does it install [15:44] soreau: I cant get hold of the source either [15:44] where can I run Moodle once installed? [15:44] how can I make the "Google Gadgets" to Transparent? [15:44] soreau: Or the config [15:44] When I try and do, well, almost anything, I'm told it's not found. Like, sudo, or cd. But, all my modules are present when I do ls. [15:44] kernel_geek: Why not? [15:44] theadmin: I want to create a "recovery" partition with a dedicated Ubuntu installed on it, in case my kid should write something like sudo rm -rf / :) In that case I could easily install Ubuntu again without having to install via CD - it's just curiosity and faster installation [15:45] marcuy prob. trying to read old /var/lib/mysql [15:45] geekphreak, * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.

[15:45] elegos: just make sure your kids aren't member of "admin" [15:45] soreau: I mean, I have not been able to gather apport information from high CPU Xorg. [15:45] Macuy can i pm ? [15:45] llutz , theadmin: well, could it be possible? :) [15:46] elegos: Well, may be. [15:46] geekphreak, i've moved /var/lib/mysql to let mysql generate a new one [15:46] soreau: Err because its not available... Well, actually because to install the source for this special kernel you need gcc 4.3 (dependency) - and that isnt available in hardy [15:46] I'll try :) [15:46] ola [15:46] geekphreak, sure [15:46] How can I improve graaphics of my office pc. it is frozen to 600X800 [15:46] marcuy: hope u did not move it mate [15:46] elegos: to do really dirty things, they need root-power, which they won't have without sudo [15:46] marcuy u just have to move /vay/lib/mysql/* [15:46] mysql folder still needs to be there [15:46] llutz: I don't care, it's just an old laptop I don't use anymore [15:47] llutz: elegos: And also, uh, make sure it isn't explicitly stated in /etc/sudoers that those rm-rf-ish people don't have sudo access. (shouldn't be though unless you played with this file) [15:47] No ideas anyone? :( [15:47] kernel_geek: Well then I guess you are on your own. We only support official ubuntu packages here.

[15:47] hi, im trying to setup ubuntu to deploy over the network with kickstart, but im getting "bad archive error", cant find anything useful on google. can anyone help? my problem is i don't know what part of the ftp to mirror and which part to point the "url" directive in the kickstart.cfg file to?? do i need to mirror the /ubuntu/pool directory and contents too to get the packages? [15:48] elegos: but you have to spend (waste) time on recovery etc. [15:48] When I turn on the computer, I'm dropped into busybox with an alert saying /dev/disk/by-uuid/### does not exist. [15:49] BrandNew: Change your fstab to real disks [15:49] If I try and use the sudo command I'm told, "/bin/sh: sudo: not found. The same for almost any other command [15:49] BrandNew: OKay, boot a recovery disk, mount the filesystems, change fstab to real disks like /dev/sda3 or w/e [15:49] BrandNew: Then reboot [15:49] BrandNew: Also try googling for things first ;) [15:50] thorzton, check out Vice (xmess works also) [15:50] Yeah, I've tried using a disk. It doesn't read it. I've googled it and tried all the solutions. [15:50] * kernel_geek goes to bbrush his teeth [15:50] I just can't get it to do anything other than tell me whatever I tried was not found [15:50] BrandNew: fsck then ? [15:50] Then, how do you think about the Ultimateedition?? http://www.ultimateedition.info [15:50] hi [15:50] fsck? [15:50] how do i configure bin/sh to use bash instead of dash? [15:51] theadmin: it would be really nice to find another solution than to do a clean install of 10.04... I have separate /home partition. [15:51] BrandNew: boot from cd, and make sure your filesystems are still there and in good shape [15:51] terof: Wait wait, you use Lucid? #ubuntu+1 might be of better help then [15:51] neure: symlink it to bash, i think [15:51] thorzton: it's not an official Ubuntu spinoff, and is :( [15:52] theadmin: I use Karmic – as in the topic of this channel ;) [15:52] theadmin, i was told to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash but it doesnt seem to change anything [15:52] neure: you wana change shell? [15:52] That's what I'm saying, it doesn't read the disk. I have a disk in the drive right now. I've changed the priority in the bootup sequence already. [15:52] Say, when will Lubuntu become available not as a package but as a separate dist? [15:52] geekphreak, this is something that i need to do in order to build ångström [15:53] Would I fsck /dev/disk/by-uuid/###?

Now it is happening more often but I'm still unsure. What happens is that firefox doesn't load some pages some times, it just keeps spinning forever saying E.G. "Waiting for live.gnome.org...", but it happens to just some sites and sometimes those sites work sometins not (but looks like live.gnome.org bugs all t [15:56] he time). So anyone else seen this? Any sugestions on how to report seen that it doesnt't happens all the time? [15:56] My clock has gone out of synch even though I'm running chronyd. Any idea what might be wrong?

Hm... debootstrap might be of some help but if you don't have that package installed and don't have dpkg...

[16:09] btw geekphreak: i know what i'm doing really well, just there are a lot of things that could have caused this and i was wondering if anyone recognized the address [16:09] dont know what you meant [16:09] axisys: try: wget -r http://is.gd/bkcJx [16:10] axisys: is.gd is a URL shortener [16:10] (File name too long) [16:10] theadmin: ^ [16:10] axisys: Guess that it just can't download it because of such a huge link. Too bad :/ === BedMan_ is now known as BedMan [16:11] theadmin: hmm.. [16:11] axisys: Is it a problem to just download the image that is inside the page? or do you need the html as well?

[16:12] axisys: sudo apt-get install httrack [16:12] theadmin, i use grub 0.97 [16:13] disconnect [16:13] can i run update-grub? [16:13] my copmuter just randomly restarted is ther any way to see why it would do that/ [16:13] geekphreak: ok [16:13] hi everyone, yesterday i upgraded vista to w7, by doing that i lost grub, anyone knows how to get it back? [16:13] axisys: I know. The question is why do you need the surrounding html, it doesn't seem to provide any extra information. [16:14] Goliath: That is GRUB 1, but it still has update-grub, it just acts a bit differently [16:14] Pici: that was a sample page.. I use same application to generate other info internally [16:14] geekphreak: you recognize that address? [16:14] blendmaster1024: come get usb plx [16:14] *plz [16:15] "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [1d21eaae]" [16:15] look: coming [16:15] While moving home folder, its owner settings changed to 1000:1000. What should it really be? [16:15] haavaros: 1000 is the first user created on the system, that is, during install. [16:15] blendmaster1024: nope [16:15] theadmin: So I should just leave it like that? [16:16] haavaros: Well, if this user was you, then yes [16:16] haavaros: you are on live-cd? [16:16] llutz: Huh, does livecd have a 1000 user? o_O [16:16] llutz: Not now, I'm back in my old OS, but with the home folder moved to another partition [16:16] geekphreak: httrack did not quite do it.. i dont see images [16:16] theadmin: nope, thats why it shows 1000:1000 and not user:group [16:16] geekphreak: might not be using it right [16:17] axisys: check setting [16:17] axisys: otherwise there is 1 more tool i think its offlineexplorer or something, its in synaptic . please check [16:17] llutz: theadmin : nvm ... it has changed back .... that 1000:1000 was while using livecd :P [16:17] llutz: Oh. Then what's the UUID of "ubuntu" (the Live Session User)? [16:17] Can someone help me to install basic ubuntu from minimal cd just with apache and mysql ? [16:17] theadmin: idk, never used a u-live-cd [16:18] geekphreak: http://pastebin.com/jGswa6UF i picked option 1 [16:18] llutz: Alternative ones, eh? [16:18] heber: Why not use the Server CD? [16:18] theadmin: minimal [16:18] llutz: Oh. === cri is now known as TheStreetRacer [16:18] those minimal things are gentoo-ish style for me lol [16:18] geekphreak: this one ?

[16:19] axisys: i think [16:19] axisys: let me check [16:19] llutz: Well, it's a way minimal distro where you have to install everything you want yourself :D but also you have to compile it, that's where the difference lies [16:19] geekphreak: thanks [16:19] blendmaster1024: did it wrk? [16:19] llutz: Does the minimal CD have networking btw? if no, that's a huge o_O [16:20] geekphreak: i am using karmic btw [16:20] theadmin: i knnow what gentoo is, but i never saw any reason to use it [16:20] theadmin: I need to prepare a wirtual server image, can you tell me how big the serwer instalation is ? [16:20] heber: Hm, not really. [16:20] axisys: ok 1 sec [16:20] theadmin: sure it has [16:20] Quick question; will something be done about the terrible state we're in with Karmic's grub2 before Lucid releases? [16:20] oKtosiTe : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [16:21] is there anyway way we can reduce the options in grubs' boot menu without uninstalling the kernal? [16:21] Pici, ok, thanks, will do that. [16:21] axisys: ok that aint it , let me get you correct name [16:21] geekphreak: ok [16:21] db0y_y0db: yes, you can edit the grub's configuration file... [16:22] What would be better for a minimal environment: LXDE or XFCE? (In Ubuntu case, because i know that Ubuntu's XFCE uses GNOME apps...) [16:22] axisys: ok it is webhttrack [16:23] theadmin: LXDE for sure. [16:23] s/minimal/lightweight [16:23] geekphreak: thanks [16:23] crucialhoax: but with grub 2, the grub.cfg is read only,so where can we change the configuration? [16:23] crucialhoax: ty :D [16:23] axisys: gui version ,will make it easy [16:23] np === overmind is now known as overmind_ === overmind_ is now known as overmind [16:23] Uh, if you install startupmanager, Grub2 configuration becomes simple... and sweet. [16:23] theadmin: No problem. I had read a review not too long ago which tested the two environments and XFCE actually used more RAM in Ubuntu. Fail. [16:24] db0y_y0db: Are you editing the file with administrative rights? [16:24] crucialhoax: more ram then what? [16:24] gnome === bipin is now known as _bipin [16:25] theadmin: Oops, I meant more ram than Gnome in Ubuntu [16:25] geekphreak: except I dont know which option to pick from here http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_1.png [16:25] crucialhoax: o_O What an idiocy. Lightweight, huh. [16:25] eddified: I found something that might help with your wireless. [16:25] crucialhoax: oh? [16:25] my copmuter just randomly restarted while i was out of hte room is ther any way to see why it would do that? [16:25] theadmin: I know, the irony. [16:25] @crucialhoax: yes, i'm editing the file with root permissions but i read somewhere online that grub.cfg 's not to be edited directly, even by root [16:26] r00t_: nano /var/log/messages [16:26] db0y_y0db: Ok. I remember now. [16:26] crucialhoax: Altough everything is faaaar away from KDE. That's one hungry thing. [16:26] db0y_y0db: nano /etc/default/grub [16:26] axisys: click add a url, [16:26] that will edit the file [16:26] then do a sudo update-grub2 [16:27] hi [16:27] theadmin: KDE is ridiculously heavy. [16:27] crucialhoax: update-grub2? wha? I used update-grub my entire life and it works with both GRUB1 and 2 [16:27] theadmin: free -m|awk '/-\/+/ {print $3}' sayss 116MB running kde4, so whats wrong with kde? [16:27] eddified: Yes I did. Let me find the bookmark [16:27] llutz: Let me try that on my gnome [16:27] theadmin: I was not sure if just grub would do both... [16:28] llutz: it says "223" here. 223 used or 223 free? lol [16:28] used [16:28] ...wtf [16:28] Guess it's Firefox [16:28] axisys: by default i think it gets the mage, otherwise click on set option on that page to add the mime type/files u want [16:28] !wtf | theadmin [16:28] theadmin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[16:29] Hey guys [16:30] I was just trying to install apache2 and a couple script packages with Synaptec, and it said it ran into dependency problems, but didn't give any options to fix them. Do I need to do it manually with the shell, or is there a hidden option in Synaptec? [16:31] xiven: sudo aptitude -f install [16:31] xiven: sudo apt-get check === joshbuddy_ is now known as joshbuddy [16:31] that will show which dependencies are broken. [16:32] It didn't find anything [16:32] I believe there are issues with php-pear and things that rely on it [16:32] xiven: Did it state which packages were broken? [16:32] I didn't open it up in synaptic, but hold on..it says something from apt-get -f [16:33] aptitude* -f [16:33] hey people, I have a PRO MagicGate SC card reader on my laptop, but karmic doesnt see it. any suggestions, please? [16:33] First problem was /usr/share/php5/php.ini-dist.cli does not exist [16:33] Which is because it wasn't able to install php5 yet [16:34] Oh I see, it was trying to setup php5-cli, and it had that problem [16:34] Hold on a sec..I think I have a fix for that one. [16:35] I have a php.ini-dist example file, is that different from php5-ini-dist.cli? [16:37] so i am trying to mount a bin, i was told to use bchunk, so i did "bchunk nameofbin.bin nameofresultingcur.cue name"... it said no such file/directory blah blah .cue.. the cue was the same name as the bin and the name [16:37] its supposed to make a .cue of the binm [16:37] bin* [16:38] progre55: I can suggest using a usb card reader instead. Do a lspci -vvnn from a terminal and find the card reader specs. [16:38] xiven: The file that it is looking for is that something that should have been installed? [16:38] I think so [16:38] php5.ini-dist.cli is what its looking for in /usr/share/php5, but its happening when its installing php5 [16:39] crucialhoax: thanks for this much help atleast , i'll try find an answer online [16:39] !find /usr/share/php5/php.ini-dist.cli [16:39] File /usr/share/php5/php.ini-dist.cli found in php5-common [16:39] xiven: reinstall php5-common [16:39] xiven: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/php5-common/filelist [16:39] this microsoft sharepoint is PITA .. it does not let me upload a folder .. just file .. [16:40] how do I convert a png to html ? [16:40] It didn't work [16:40] axisys: you can have png in html, but u cant convert it [16:40] png is picture, html is a webpage [16:40] I told it to install php5-common, and it started trying to install everything else [16:41] geekphreak: i know the formats are different.. i was looking for something that will ask for the png and create an html file around it [16:41] axisys: you can create a script, aint that hard [16:41] crucialhoax: but it's a sony vaio laptop, and comes with a built in card reader. [16:41] db0y_y0db: Hey no problem :) [16:42] crucialhoax: and I would like to make it work on my ubuntu =) [16:42] hi. i have a user "test" ... homedir: /home/test ... how can i create special rules for this users. fox example user "test" should have access to dir: /var/lib/workspace [16:42] hello, anyone knows how to upgrade PHP version in XAMPP in Ubuntu?

Usually wifi, card readers and mics in laptops.

[16:49] xiven: Did you get it? [16:49] crucialhoax, not to mention the level of knowledge and intelligence required >_< [16:49] xiven: ARGH [16:49] can i tell diff to ignore a certain file type [16:49] tobylane: beta? [16:49] Is there a clone a replacment for Microsoft Query in Ubuntu, I'm learning mySQL. any ideas? [16:49] darksider: Exactly. [16:49] Nah, I did apt-get -f remove, rolled it all back and tried to install php5-cli on its own [16:49] toby #ubuntu+1 u mean? [16:49] yes ty [16:49] . [16:50] mzaza, what do u need? what does that do ? [16:50] welcome [16:50] о.о [16:50] The file is there, the installation just doesn't think so [16:50] maybe updatedb would solve that [16:50] tobylane: type man diff and read all of your options. [16:50] darksider: I write mySQL database codes and test them. Just for learnning. [16:50] mzaza, if you want a sql SERVER to send queries to then use 'apt-get install mysql-server' [16:50] i am, im not sure [16:51] culinor had the right idea! * culinor has quit (Quit: X-Chat: Please, use free software only. Support and protect your freedom.) [16:51] it is free [16:51] <__mart> how to print available package versions on repos? [16:51] <__mart> not installing them [16:51] tobylane: try this so you can read the full output: diff -r >> ~/Desktop/diff-from-backup.txt [16:51] mzaza, is that what u were looking for? a mySQL server >? [16:51] __mart: from all the releases, or just the one you have installed? [16:52] Could someone tell me if I uninstalled ie7 and playonlinux why do I still see it when right clicking a html document and choose open with? [16:52] darksider: I think so, does it have a tool which thorugh it I can manage tables (GUI)? [16:52] Hollenthon: Uninstalled how exactly? [16:52] <__mart> Pici, i know how to show installed package with dpkg -l, but i need to know how to get info which packages are available on repos [16:52] Dr_Willis, Using Ubuntu software center>remove buton. [16:52] Hollenthon: Its possible that the config left behind is still there. I bet if you chose that option it would produce an error stating it does not exist. [16:52] __mart: apt-cache policy or apt-cache show [16:53] cya folks, have a good one all , time to go :) [16:53] Hollenthon: You Uninstalled IE7 Via the software center? [16:53] crucialhoax: nope, didnt work.. [16:53] cya geekphreak [16:53] crucialhoax, apparently if I try internet explorer, it opens a firefox window:P [16:53] __mart: You can also use rmadison (in the devscripts package) if you want to check versions across all supported Ubuntu releases. [16:53] crucialhoax: well, let me try to google it again =) [16:53] Hollenthon: or did you unstall IE via the PlayOnlinux thing? [16:53] <__mart> Pici, yeah baby, i remembered it was show, but grrr, apt-cache of course [16:53] Dr_Willis, I unistalled ie7 then play on linux.... [16:53] Aha! [16:53] Hollenthon: Exactly. it is a broken menu item. [16:53] progre55: It is a sony vaio iirc? [16:53] mzaza, use 'apt-get install phpmyadmin' after you install mysql (as long as you have php4/php5 installed too' [16:53] Dr_Willis, Yes, first uninstalled ie7 from there, and then uninstalled playon linux via ubuntusoftware center [16:54] I'm sorry, but the package maintainers really need to check their work better...I find errors all the time that should have been avoided. [16:54] darksider: Thanks :) [16:54] crucialhoax, do i need to purge from the terminal? [16:54] crucialhoax: what's iirc? ) [16:54] <__mart> Pici, way to get only lines with versions outputed? [16:54] if I recall correctly? [16:54] crucialhoax, would that work? [16:54] if i remember correctly ;) [16:54] ^ [16:54] Hollenthon: you have some user settings still left i imagine from the wine install of IE. removeing packages wont touch user settings. [16:54] php5 was failing because the file php.ini-dist.cli was called php.ini-dist [16:54] Hollenthon: No because the package no longer exists since you un-installed it. [16:54] I cannot get my Windows 98 or my Windows XP machines to connect to my Ubuntu Samba share. I have created an exception rule to allow Samba connections,but nothing. Please somebody help! [16:54] Dr_Willis, I see.... [16:54] Hollenthon: wine apps make some entries in some subdirs in theusers home. for their menu items. Find and remove those items [16:55] Little mistakes like that will keep Ubuntu from becoming the OS that its capable of. [16:55] crucialhoax, So what should I do? ohhh ok [16:55] crucialhoax, I will try now.. [16:55] brb [16:55] __mart: grep for "Version" ? [16:55] Hollenthon: Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823835 [16:55] any apache experts here ?? [16:55] <__mart> Pici, ok, yes, policys output is good enough to grep [16:55] I had to fix it using the shell...most people these days don't even know what a 'shell' is [16:55] HI :D Runs apache-server as a Standalone or a initd service as default? [16:55] crucialhoax, Also I uninstalled empathy and evolution mail, if let's say I want to go using thunderbird should i get the latest version from the site? [16:55] i have a .bin how can i mount it? [16:55] crucialhoax, thanks [16:56] <__mart> Pici, thanks, have a good one, off [16:56] sixofour, make it executable [16:56] Hollenthon: Not sure about that. I would stick with whats in the repo's [16:56] you mean tick the executable box in preferences? [16:56] have symlinked dirs on seperate partitions and apache no follow ,but tried a symlinked dir in home dir it works :( [16:56] Shit [16:56] i need it to be mounted, as in like a dvd in a drive [16:56] sixofour, chmod +x filename [16:56] Now apache says No apache MPM package installed [16:56] sixofour: you dont mean a 'self installing installer.bin' but a bin/cue cd/dvd image file? [16:56] sixofour: Or use chmo 777 [16:57] chmod* ugh [16:57] sixofour, ./filename [16:57] yes, a cd image [16:57] crucialhoax, Thank you sir! :) [16:57] So, I just expanded a zip file into my home directory, and I didn't want to do that. [16:57] Is apache2-mpm-prefork an MPM package, or what [16:57] xiven: Please mind your language. Yes, it is. [16:57] (zip bomb) [16:57] sixofour: the fuse iso tools i hear can mount them. or you can convert it to iso. then mount it [16:57] !info fuseiso [16:57] fuseiso (source: fuseiso): FUSE module to mount ISO filesystem images. In component universe, is optional. Version 20070708-1 (karmic), package size 21 kB, installed size 92 kB [16:57] I want to find all the files modified a few minutes ago. [16:57] ie have mp3s in /media/disk/mp3s did simlink it no follow gives me a 403 [16:57] let me try fuse [16:58] Well, I have that package installed, and even when trying to reconfigure that I get the No apache MPM package instaled error [16:58] And, I gotta say..I've had a lot more issues since I installed Karmic [16:58] giles: find $HOME -mmin -5 [16:59] Pici: how do i ignore hidden folders [16:59] xiven: What are you trying to reconfigure? [16:59] I tried to restart Apache2 [16:59] It said no MPM package installed [17:00] I tried to install it, it said its already there. So, I tried to reconfigure it and it said no MPM package installed [17:00] I wish I could roll back the Ubuntu version === bigjb is now known as bigjb_gone [17:00] so what is a mount_point? [17:00] Karmic is not ready for complete use yet.. === RaMcHiP is now known as RaMcHiP-Away [17:01] ! mount | sixofour [17:01] sixofour: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [17:01] in the context os fuseiso [17:01] of [17:01] sixofour: The mount point is the directory the device is attached to === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [17:02] so i have to make the director first?

[17:03] majnoon: mount --bind yes [17:03] is it possible to install firefox 3.0 and 3.5 side by side? [17:03] microlith you can move mountpoints yes..if you wanted to. [17:03] if my MBR gets wiped by windows, what command can i run to load the ubuntu one again? do i just do grub-install ? [17:03] Travis-42: I do not think so. [17:03] ie mount /home/user/mp3 to home/user/music ? [17:03] majnoon: or just link the 2 via ln -s [17:04] majnoon: mount --bind /home/user/mp3 /home/user/music [17:04] giles: Not easily. [17:04] ! grub2 | markl_ [17:04] markl_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:04] Dr_Willis: Agreed. [17:04] @Travis-42 Yes [17:04] symlink not workin with apache so may try that way [17:04] iiiii: how could I do it? [17:04] When trying to setup mysql from the instructions from the ubuntu wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP when trying to set the mysql root password with 'mysql -u root' I get the error 'ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? [17:05] solexious: are you the root user trying to apply the settings? try that. sudo mysql -u root === RaMcHiP-Away is now known as RaMcHiP [17:05] crucialhoax: sadly that gives me the same error [17:06] solexious: argh. [17:06] no sudo needed [17:06] still produces same error... [17:06] i was banned on a channel...how to fix that? [17:07] tried sudo mount --bind /media/New Volume/music /var/www/mus just got the command line help :( [17:07] is there an open office channel in irssi? [17:07] Well crap [17:08] if I have apache2-mpm-prefork installed, why does apache say "No apache MPM package installed"? [17:08] majnoon: New\ Volume [17:08] Dr_Willis, tried sudo mount --bind /media/New Volume/music /var/www/mus just got the command line help :( [17:08] ok will try [17:08] majnoon: Because there is a space in your file name [17:08] majnoon: mask the spaces [17:08] hey i tried working with gnomebaker but i cant seem to get my .bin files to turn out correct, what should i do? [17:08] Wait....I should go to #apache for that [17:08] spaces in filenames = annoying [17:08] Pici: I think a better way is to list the files in the zip and do a for file in `unzip -l files.zip`; do rm $file; done [17:09] Dr_Willis: agreed [17:09] solexious: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/access-denied.html [17:09] Pici: but unzip -l format is not just a list of files. [17:09] ok got so apache2 can see but get 403 forbidden now :( === kaabi_ is now known as Kaabi [17:10] just wanted to get a second opinion on this, if I replace my motherboard, will I have to reinstall ubuntu? (I have it on a RAID) [17:10] majnoon: change the permissions [17:10] 777 do ?? [17:10] majnoon: chgrp www-data [17:10] majnoon: that will work if you want everyone to have FULL rights. [17:10] Berzerker replace it with a new one, or different model [17:11] it lan only [17:11] not open to net [17:11] mguy: different model, same controller. [17:11] majnoon: then sure it should not matter [17:11] Hello everyone [17:11] no luck :( [17:12] I cannot get any sound when using flash from internet, neither am I able to have to programs playing sound at the time [17:12] hi, I'm new to Ubuntu. Please tell me how to install the VGA drivers. I downloaded from the site. [17:12] restart apache. sudo services apache2 restart [17:12] Really weird issue: I can only SSH into my home Linux box from school using browsershell.com or I get a connection refused error. This includes if I use Putty or MindTerm [17:12] service* [17:12] 403 forbidden [17:12] ayrus: clarify exactly what you downloaded from what site. for what card. [17:12] i'll brb [17:13] I can SSH to the home linux box from anywhere else using any client, but in school only browsershell.com works [17:13] i was banned on a channel...how to fix that? [17:13] LiteWolff: Probably because the school has a firewall filter set-up... [17:13] LiteWolff: they may filter 22 outgoing [17:13] I was just trying to say that to LiteWolff [17:14] Then why does browsershell work? [17:14] Any good reason why i386 version is still i386? I don't know a single person using less than i686 for desktop and nobody that's using other than 64 bit for servers... [17:14] LiteWolff, if you able to ping ur home box from school [17:14] because it is through a browser not a shell... [17:14] The kind people in #httpd have informed me that its the package manager saying "No MPM package installed"...but I know it is [17:14] LiteWolff: don't you access it via http? (port 80) [17:14] u can try to use Proxy to bypass it [17:14] You're accessing it via HTTP and then it goes form their server [17:14] that is my guess. [17:14] where can I find 10.04 beta 2 that is released today? [17:14] Dr_Willis: my motherboard is asus p5sd2-vm. and I downloaded the driver package given on the asus website. But I don;t know how to install these [17:14] chosig: i am using less then i686 [17:14] beer: distrowatch.com [17:14] beer: on a mirror? [17:14] beer: see #ubuntu+1 and the topic [17:14] crucialhoax, it doesn't work using mindterm which is in browser [17:15] I cannot get any sound when using flash from internet, neither am I able to have to programs playing sound at the time [17:15] iceroot: and gnome? :) [17:15] LiteWolff: There are too many variables that we do not know of that are inside the school network. Like many of us had said the school firewall might filter port 22 [17:15] chosig: of course [17:16] Dr_Willis: Its showing four sub folder in VGA folder listed as FC6, Mandriva2007.1, Redhat4.4, SuSE10.1 [17:16] beer> Are you wanting to download an ISO, or install it onto your system? [17:17] ayrus: what chipset/video card is it using.. thats the Core thing. You dont normally just download 'drivers' you use thepacakge manager to install the proper drivers. [17:17] Dr_Willis: Which folder should I open for VGA [17:17] I cannot get any sound when using flash from internet, neither am I able to have to programs playing sound at the time [17:17] There isn't a 'vga driver' [17:17] ayrus: 'vga' means nothing the way you are mentioning it. its what CHIPSET your video is that matters [17:17] would the other drive being ntfs have any effect ?? [17:17] johnshoot5 8.04 ¿¿ [17:18] majnoon: the drive that is mounted? [17:18] yup [17:18] Dr_Willis: Chipset: NorthBridge: SIS 672 and Shouth Bridge: SIS 968 [17:18] mguy: ? [17:18] through nautilis [17:18] 9.10 [17:18] Pici: for file in 'zipinfo -1'; do rm $file; done maybe [17:18] ayrus: go to System -> admin -> hardware drivers and see what it shows.. [17:18] ayrus: SIS? Egads.. thats not a good sign. :) [17:18] majnoon: It might.. but I am not 100% sure [17:18] johnshoot5: using pulse audio¿ [17:18] if its using an onboard SIS video chipset.. You may want to invest in a seperate video card.. and soon. [17:19] anyone know where can get drivers to make a sblive card work in vista ?? [17:19] majnoon: ##windows [17:19] iceroot: you're on a P1 for real? [17:19] majnoon: creative.com [17:19] I'm working on installing php on ubuntu via apt-get...should I install php5 & then php5-mysql, or is php5-mysql the whole package? [17:19] iceroot, they about as help as #debian :( [17:20] not sure [17:20] Dr_Willis: I can;t find the admin folder in File system. Where is it placed? [17:20] Dr_Willis: Whats wrong with P1's ? XD [17:20] ayrus: /root [17:20] chosig: amd k6 500 i586 [17:20] ayrus: Or a folder named admin? [17:20] ayrus: expore your menus.. its under SYSTEM in the menus.. [17:20] iceroot: Old Compaq or something? [17:20] majnoon: as a somewhat non-os-dependent-buy i sure recommend you to either go 7 or xp... i have /no/ good experiences with vista whatsoever. [17:21] mguy: selfbuild [17:21] iceroot: aaah... forgot about the k6... [17:21] hey guys how do burn out bin.s with gnomebaker? [17:21] chosig: if you want a system build for your archtitecure, i think gentoo is the right way :) [17:21] iceroot: How much RAM? You might not want to use gnome or something but that system should be ok [17:21] Dr_Willis: You do not have permission to open the content in root folder... [17:21] will try again [17:21] mguy: well? [17:21] Dr_Willis: Error something like that. [17:21] mguy: 768 [17:22] ayrus: What exactly are you looking for that is "Admin"? [17:22] ayrus: In the top panel.. see a MENU item called 'System'? it has a Administration sub menu.. [17:22] hi folks [17:22] eta on beta2? [17:22] Dr_Willis: yes I got that. [17:22] ftornell: see #ubuntu+1 [17:22] Berzerker: Well what [17:22] iceroot: yeah, my servers run on gentoo, desktops on ubuntu... just wondering why they still compile from 386 and up [17:22] Okay, so I turned on my box this morning and went straight into WoW. Strangely, and just this morning, a shortcut function seems to have been added to my "W" key that makes it open up Nautilus every time it is pressed. I've checked in both "System > Preferences > Keyboard" and "System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and I can't find anything showing that it should be doing this. [17:23] crucialhoax: thanks, that link sorted it [17:23] chosig: because as i showed you not everyrun is running 686 [17:23] I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my laptop, and it doesn't follow my settings for dimming the screen while under AC or Battery power. Is there something I'm missing maybe? [17:23] what is the terminal command for totally removing vbox os? [17:23] hello, can someone help me how to reinstall grub? [17:23] hello all [17:23] Dr_Willis: thx [17:23] Ishnatal: check your screen saver settings. [17:23] iceroot: yup, but 386 is pushing it in my envelope :P [17:23] Ishnatal: I bet it is set for too short of a time. [17:23] iceroot: I think the 686 stuff will still run on a 386, it's just speed optimizations [17:23] Dr_Willis: I go to hardware Drivers, after searching the drivers its showing the message: " No Proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [17:24] d'oh! that did it, thanks crucialhoax [17:24] mguy: no its not running [17:24] Ishnatal: No Problem :) [17:24] iceroot: but that's beside, there's not much difference between performance of a chipset/cpu compiled install vs. a generic 386 one for a desktop user [17:24] hey people, when I "apt-get update", it comes to 99% and freezes for about 2 mins saying "waiting for headers". Any suggestions, please? [17:24] ayrus: yep. SIS cards really suck. but are you haveing other real issues? low res? no Desktop?> or what exactly? [17:24] I couldn't imagine how slow a 386DX/40 would run these days, much lessa 386SX/16 [17:25] chosig: and so i dont know why it is a problem that ubuntu is build for i386 [17:25] progre55: do you have google chrome installed? [17:25] mguy: dont forget the "speed" button :) === kasun is now known as Guest50421 [17:25] iceroot: just wondering why that's it [17:25] Dr_Willis: Less resolution and less refresh rate. My moniter resolution is 1440*900 but its not displaying [17:25] crucialhoax: yep, is that the problem? [17:26] Chances are it's not going to support and 'odd' resolution like that, even in Windows [17:26] progre55: Yes. It is a bug, my laptop has the same problem. Let it sit, it will eventually finish. =/ [17:26] crucialhoax: let me remove google-chrome.list and see [17:26] ayrus: check the forums for that exact chipset/video - it may need some tweaks/updates. But every time someone mentions 'sis' its always problematic. The companies linux support is.. not too great. [17:26] Dr_Willis: Its showing the resolution of 1280*1024 [17:26] has anyone else had any problems with magically appearing shortcut keys? [17:27] mguy: well, do I have to install it? [17:27] paraplegicpanda: Check under System > Preferences > Startup programs [17:27] crucialhoax: yeah, apparently it was the google repo [17:27] mguy: reinstall* [17:27] iceroot: it's like saying that all cars have to be compliant with generator gas, even though it hasn't been used in ages, just in case... but that doesn't have to mean that the car have to run on nitro meth just because either :P [17:27] progre55: Its soooo annoying. [17:27] Dr_Willis: Ohk... can you give me the link of the forum please. [17:27] !forum [17:27] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [17:27] crucialhoax: there, what am I looking for? [17:28] crucialhoax: it really is, have to wait for 2-3 mins with a 100Mbit conntection =) [17:28] Berzerker: no you should not [17:28] Dr_Willis: I have the drivers. can the drivers for Mandriva will not work on Ubuntu? [17:29] paraplegicpanda: Anything suspicious that you did not add [17:29] any1 know how to successfully burn bin files? [17:29] mguy: ok thanks [17:30] progre55: Yeah. Ridiculous. and I just realized your name says progress. haha [17:30] Lord_Chewbakka: Search for 'bin2iso' [17:30] so....just a question that anyone can answer...i have seen a couple of apps for managing AD accounts and computer for Ubuntu...does anyone recommend one? [17:30] crucialhoax: lol )) yeah some ppl read it as "progre fifty-five" :D [17:30] mguy: will do, will that change the completed format so i can boot it? [17:30] Dr_Willis: in the Mandriva folder, there is a read me file. and there is written" copy the files to the drivers directory. these are having ext sis_drv.la and sis_drv.so Is the copying of the files to the driver folder not work? Please tell [17:31] thats how i was reading it until just now hah [17:31] lol [17:31] crucialhoax: Nope, the list is pretty standard. Only addition is my conky script. I thought maybe I had done something there with GizmoD a few days ago that might have been the culprit, but I got rid off everything related to that project already. [17:31] happends [17:31] what could be wrong when I can ping ppa.launchpad.net but get "connection failed" when doing sudo apt-get install ? [17:31] happens* [17:31] dammit [17:31] progre55: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:32] hahahaha [17:32] Please tell me where the drivers directory exist in the Ubuntu. [17:32] When just one application goes dark, that means that application is freezing, not Ubuntu in all...right? [17:32] ayrus: what drivers are you looking for? [17:33] paraplegicpanda: Under System > preferences > main menu > under the system tools menu check 'configuration editor' [17:33] quit [17:33] xiven: In ubuntu and centOS yes. [17:33] paraplegicpanda: I have the drivers. I want to install on ubuntu. Its chipset SIS 672, 968 [17:34] s anyone using Evolution with Google Contacts? I am experiencing errors and I want to see if they happen to anyone else. [17:34] paraplegicpanda: But I don't know how to install. [17:34] crucialhoax: Yeah, it's already in the menus.

[17:35] is there a utility i can easily make clips out of large video files with? I have a list of 80 clips to make >.< [17:36] crucialhoax: I'm looking at it, doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. Anything specific I should be looking for? [17:36] paraplegicpanda: when you expand keyboard do you see something that says host-? [17:37] seyfarth: try pitivi [17:37] ayrus: What kind of file is it? i.e. what are the three-ish letters after the last period? [17:37] evenin' all [17:37] crucialhoax: thanks [17:38] crucialhoax: Yeah, there's a "0" folder in it, and a key for "numlock_on" that's checked. [17:38] seyfarth: No problem. Check the Ubuntu Software Center for "video editor" or along those lines. [17:38] paraplegicpanda: Ok, I have the same. [17:38] join [17:38] j [17:38] paraplegicpanda: you should see a "kbd" folder correct? [17:38] crucial> How old are the people maintaining most of the packages? [17:39] xiven: I have no clue ha. [17:39] adobe flash player or swfdec or gnash? [17:39] Well, I think we need to fire a few [17:39] xiven: That bad eh? [17:39] Everytime I try to install/remove anything there is always some sort of error that happens [17:39] When trying to view php pages through my browser (with the pages being on my ubuntu server) it prompts me to download the php page rather than the server executing the php script, any idea where my configuration would be wrong? [17:39] I know they are mostly volunteers, but come on [17:40] knock on wood I have not had that happen yet lol.

If you have a specific problem please ask. [17:41] paraplegicpanda: a few folders up from peripherals look for a folder named keybindings. [17:41] Pici: :( [17:41] Hi, anyone there to help me with problems with sound. I am with a day's experience with Ubuntu [17:42] crucialhoax: Kk, it has three folders: magnifier, onscreenkeyboard, screenreader. All the keys and values look normal. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:43] I have a new sony vaio and I dont find any drivers for sound card [17:43] paraplegicpanda: None say custom* where * is a number? [17:43] crucialhoax: the keybindings folder itself has a key in it called "allowed_keys" [] [17:43] crucialhoax: Nope. [17:43] paraplegicpanda: Hmm. I am at a loss. [17:44] crucialhoax: I know, it's weird, right? [17:44] paraplegicpanda: The problem was that "W" opens nautilus correct? [17:44] crucialhoax: Exactly. [17:45] paraplegicpanda: However there are no shortcuts. The keyboard layout is still correct right? [17:46] some body speaks russian? [17:46] crucialhoax: It will open the normal ~ file browser window. makes it impossible to type anything with a "W" key in it. Lemme check that layout and make sure, but I think I checked it earlier [17:46] shon, join #ubuntu-rs [17:46] will just type in here every key or in gedit and make sure every key is what is should be. [17:48] crucialhoax: Yep, Generic 105-key (Intl) PC. [17:48] paraplegicpanda: Wow. I am definitely at a loss. [17:49] hi how to put modeline.

[17:50] I have now installed Apache2 two times in two days with PHP5 [17:50] crucialhoax: Yeah, everything does what it should, even the multimedia keys. The W key even types a W, but it also opens a File Browser. [17:50] Both times Apache isn't parsing PHP files [17:50] ori, did you try the ie plugin for chrome? [17:50] jose, no i did not. how do i? [17:50] ori: have you tried ie4linux? [17:50] jose: doesn't work on ubuntu [17:50] you need IE to install the ie plugin [17:51] paraplegicpanda: What happened before it set that way? [17:51] my bad [17:51] paraplegicpanda it looks really complicated, id prefer not to. unless its secretly simple [17:51] What is wrong in the packages apache2 php5 causing it not to parse php files.... [17:51] ies4linux I think is the name [17:51] !lamp | xiven [17:51] xiven: 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+) === Guest72664 is now known as olwy [17:51] I have seen that same link tons of times [17:52] I was staring at it all day yesterday [17:52] Nevermind [17:52] whats the easiest way in ubuntu to rebuild a package with a source patch applied? [17:52] I think I am just going to delete Ubuntu [17:52] It went from the best linux to maybe the worst [17:52] hi, i've barcode reader, it works well, but in some barcodes it is skipping some numbers....eg. the code is 15160331 and after scanning it, I get 1560331? any hint on this...? [17:52] hello [17:53] brush, hello [17:53] paraplegicpanda do u know of any instructions for karmic? [17:53] paraplegicpanda i found only for gutsy and hardy [17:53] !hi | brush [17:53] brush: 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! [17:53] paraplegicpanda: Nothing. I turned my box off after I got done with a raid in WoW last night, got up and turned it on this morning and ran my routine startup commands, each time I would put in my password (which contains a W) nautilus would pop up. I kept typing in my pass until I figured out which key did it. [17:53] ori: gimme a sec and I'll find some for you. [17:53] ori: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [17:54] paraplegicpanda thanx [17:54] ori: no prob :-) [17:54] ori: nevermind, crucialhoax has you covered. [17:54] as i see the roadmap of ubuntu 10.04, i can download beta 2, but aint no beta2 (just a little bit time zone latency?) [17:54] paraplegicpanda, even though it says edgy? [17:55] paraplegicpanda: Hmm. There is something wrong with the keyboard config... somewhere. [17:56] ori: here http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu [17:56] ori: yeah, it should still work. if you have any problems let us know and we'll be happy to help you out [17:56] THANX [17:56] tatanka? Like the final boss in super mario land? :) [17:57] does anyone know why after i updated today, i can no longer access my mp3 player? [17:57] brush: Sometimes it lags behind. Like beta 1 came out on march 18 or something and it could not be downloaded until the next day [17:57] /how to fix it [17:57] crucialhoax, thx === olwy is now known as crazysoilder [17:58] brush: No problem. [17:58] crucialhoax: The only thing I've done recently that could have affected the keyboard config is installing GizmoD, it's a piece of software that takes raw key input and translates it into different keystrokes. I just uninstalled it and all of the scripts I had worked on for it since I couldn't find any support for it. That's over a week ago, though. [18:00] paraplegicpanda: Maybe somewhere its config files messed something up. whereis gizmod < in the terminal [18:01] crucialhoax: gizmod: /usr/bin/gizmod /etc/gizmod /usr/share/man/man1/gizmod.1.gz [18:01] get rid of them all. [18:02] how do you restart the gnome-keyring service? I don't know the service's actual name [18:02] the /etc/ is its config file [18:02] Tohuw: I believe it is seahorse [18:03] how can i find fastest apt sources through command line? [18:03] paraplegicpanda, hey... um, its freezes everytime it tries to download everything it needs [18:03] i hate installing dx9 on linux... makes me a sad panda [18:03] dx9 on linux? [18:03] yeah [18:03] o.O [18:04] how can i find fastest apt sources through command line? [18:04] tonii: need it for morrowind [18:04] I am dual booting Windows xp and buntu [18:04] crucialhoax: done. [18:04] Lord_Chewbakka: yeah, but I'm confused on how DX9 is available for linux :P [18:04] Lord_Chewbakka: winetricks makes that task rather straight forward i recall. but i dont recall trying marrowind on Wine. [18:04] tonii: winetricks? [18:04] paraplegicpanda: still doing it? [18:05] paraplegicpanda: ah, wine. [18:05] crucialhoax: yeppers. [18:05] If I click the Places or Systems or Applications menu, and let the menu displayed, "Print Screen" command won't activate. In fact, even if I have something like a context menu (after right-click) active, it still won't work. Looks like whenever a menu is active, the command isn't. Do you know a way to fix this, or is it configurable? [18:05] I am dual booting Windows xp and Ubuntu, i am having trouble booting windows xp, as it only boots 20% of the time, any suggestions? [18:05] trying logging out and logging back in? [18:05] hi [18:05] cruciualhoax: gimme a sec and I'll see if it works on x restart or on reboot [18:05] aaronthis is #ubuntu, not #windows ;) [18:05] oki [18:05] Dr_Willis: what do you mean, iv sat for hours trying to get it working downloading different regz [18:05] KaOSoFt: i recall some screengrabber tools that had some sort of 3-5 second delay so you could pop open a menu befor it grabs a screeshot. [18:06] ori: one sec bub, I'll be right back and we'll see what we can figure out. [18:06] brb [18:06] #ubuntu-it [18:06] Lord_Chewbakka: 'winetricks' is a script that installs extra 'things' that many games need in wine. [18:06] paraplegicpanda, thanx alot [18:06] Lord_Chewbakka: it can install various dx files and other support things that some problematic games need. [18:06] how can i find fastest apt sources through command line?\ [18:06] Dr_Willis: awsomeness! gotta check it out [18:07] Lord_Chewbakka: you DID check the wine app database for that game? it proberly has details on whats needed to get it going [18:07] so many problems in ubuntu 9.10, that i don´t know where to start :( [18:07] !info mirrorselect [18:07] Package mirrorselect does not exist in karmic [18:07] !find mirrorselect [18:07] Dr_Willis: however my main problem is getting a successful burn from bin files [18:07] Package/file mirrorselect does not exist in karmic [18:07] my internet is slow, or non-existent: i have connection with the network [18:08] anybody using gnome 3? [18:08] but simply doesn´t open pages [18:08] Lord_Chewbakka: You mean making a cd from a downloaded image? you can mount the things and not even burn them.. but game/disk based copy protection wont work - theres always no-cd-cracks. [18:08] z0net: Are you using ubuntu 10.04? [18:08] [overmind]: yes [18:08] Dr_Willis- I think it should be included with the normal "Print screen" functionality on GNOME. [18:08] Hmm... I think I'm going to suggest it. [18:08] z0net: Join in #ubuntu+1 for lucid support please :) [18:08] KaOSoFt: I was thinking it was a function of it.. but i dont ever use that tool [18:09] the most comon bug is about the ipv6, but that one is turned of, with me it is the 4 [18:09] Dr_Willis: i have problems with linux platform games, such as savage(free) :o === jamie is now known as Guest82178 [18:09] dissapointednoob: are you using firefox? [18:09] Lord_Chewbakka: savage worked fine for me last i tried it.. once i found what version/packages to grab.. [18:09] crucialhoax: no luck. [18:09] i tried to enter the ubuntu help, but NONE of the suggestions they use give any of the answers that they should do [18:10] Dr_Willis- I haven't found a way to change the behavior in Ubuntu, but it's GNOME's fault, right? I don't want to suggest in to the wrong group. [18:10] paraplegicpanda: Well. I'm stumped. === Guest82178 is now known as _BeWare [18:10] @crucial: yes, firefox [18:10] is there a site like pastie.org but for pictures? [18:10] <_BeWare> tinypic.com [18:10] _BeWare: thanks [18:10] crucialhoax: same here. But I am SO not reinstalling for this, lol. [18:10] Dr_Willis: so where is this wine app thingy, on the web or in the apt-get command? [18:10] <_BeWare> np [18:11] ori: okay, what was the website crucial sent you to? [18:11] <_BeWare> sudo apt-get install wine [18:11] paraplegicpanda: I see you made a post on it, first google hit. Did you try the repliers suggestion? [18:11] parapalegicpanda, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [18:11] after i updated today, i can no longer see my mp3 player. could anyone help me mount it? [18:11] Lord_Chewbakka: . its a unsupported script that is used to download/install extra things. check for its homepage. [18:11] crucialhoax: didn't see I got a hit yet, lol. Checking it now. [18:12] Lord_Chewbakka: the wine app database *you did check that right?* often tells what winetricks 'parts' need tp be used for specific games [18:12] waut I will copy and paste [18:12] Run gconf-editor and have a look in: [18:12] apps > metacity > global_keybindings might be in there. [18:14] crucialhoax: Nope, not there. I'll run a search in gconf and see if I can find anything else. [18:14] Dr_Willis: i got the homepage, i got it downloading, so i guess im in the clear... for now :D [18:14] I would run a search against W or w [18:15] Lord_Chewbakka: i will mention againn to check the wine app database. [18:15] !appdb [18:15] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:15] !WINE [18:15] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [18:15] :> [18:16] Dr_Willis: apologies for the stupidity but i see no database :o i see a list with utils for wine [18:16] Lord_Chewbakka: a the wine app database? look harder. type in the name of the game in the search [18:16] Lord_Chewbakka: also watch out for old versions of wine test results.. often newer wine versions work much better with some games. and the old 'tweaks' may not be needed [18:18] Lord_Chewbakka: http://appdb.winehq.org/ has some games right there in the list shown on the main page. :) Wow. Spore is now a "platimum' rateing. :) [18:18] Is there anything I can do about flash hogging resources like crazy? [18:18] Dr_Willis: i cant begin to thank you! :D:D:D [18:18] Youtube is better then most sites but it's still pretty bad :/ [18:19] [18:20] Noone knows? [18:20] tastyfish: Are you using a 32bit or 64bit system? [18:21] Lord_Chewbakka: from what i reading for the game. it should work very well with no real problems [18:21] Lord_Chewbakka: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1015 === sam_ is now known as Guest58336 [18:21] crucialhoax: I'm using a 32-bit system to my knowledge. [18:21] Hello all [18:22] after i updated today, i can no longer see my mp3 player. could anyone help me mount it? [18:22] What is the method used for configurating apache2 and php from deb files? [18:22] Is the configuration done by scripts? [18:23] Or are the config files already configured? [18:23] Hey, I am getting Segmentation faults when starting nautilius (not with [gk]sudo nautilus though) any idea to work this up? [18:23] xiven: The config files are in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ [18:23] xiven: Is that what you're asking? [18:23] howcome ubuntu has added a second localhost entry - 127.0.1.1 w/ the machine name instead of localhost? This seems to break things like FF's use of PAC [18:24] tastyfish: really flash is better in 32bit systems. 64 bit sucks. unfortunately I know of no ways to make it less resource hungry. If you were on a 64bit I would tell you that flash is under development [18:24] Dr_Willis: i cant find what is required by this game but i can find out if it works [18:24] No no [18:24] I mean the configuration files [18:24] Lord_Chewbakka: read the comments/threads.. most people install the game with no problems it seems. [18:24] Such as configuring Apache to use PHP === Ryan_ is now known as RyanP [18:25] crucialhoax: anyway I can tell if my system is 32-bit or 64-bit? [18:25] I was just given a link after 2 minutes in #httpd, that I'm sure no one sent me at all during my 6 hours in here yesterday [18:25] tastyfish: uname -a in the terminal [18:25] Yeah, I'm finding nothing in gconf. [18:25] xiven: use sudo a2enmod php5 this will setup the necessary files in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ [18:26] bull [18:26] It is misconfigured to install [18:26] So what am I looking for crucialhoax? [18:26] I have installed it four times between yesterday and today [18:26] default config is wrong! [18:26] tastyfish: Where it says UTC right by that what does it say? [18:27] crucialhoax: UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [18:27] http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DebianDeb0rkification [18:27] Send that to the next thousand people who ask the question [18:28] howdy [18:28] Is there a web address for Canonical support or feedback form or something? [18:28] hey parapalegicpanda, it turns out that I dont need it. Could you help me uninstall it? [18:28] tastyfish: 32bit [18:29] ori: lol, yeah, sure. what was the website crucial sent you to earlier? [18:29] xiven: File a bug. I don't understand why you think this is broken though. [18:29] parapalegicpanda, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [18:29] crucialhoax: Allright thanks... My laptop isn't exactly a monster if you look at the hardware but it should be fine for flash in my opinion. [18:29] hello folks. I'm using Kubuntu Lucid. When I don't have Xserver on, how can I operate/deactivate bluetooth and/or wireless please? [18:29] !lucid | Consul_Falx [18:29] Consul_Falx: 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 [18:30] geekphreak: don't show off on my score please [18:30] huh? [18:30] tastyfish: Yeah flash for me uses almost 200MB [18:30] I just want a bash/cli method to operate wireless and bluetooth [18:30] Pici, because apache had been trying to download php files with fresh installs of Apache2+PHP5 which were according to wiki instructions! And I tried on 4 fresh installs... [18:31] Finally I got a link that gave an answer that worked! [18:31] parapalegicpanda, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [18:31] Consul_Falx: there are various cli tools to do bluetooth things.. check the bluetooth wiki pages/docs [18:31] crucialhoax: My CPU starts flipping after a while with flash. Nothing wrong with the ram from what I can tell. [18:31] I am very unsatisfied with Ubuntu at this point [18:31] hello please help me how to install nVidia drivers? [18:31] !flash [18:31] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:31] xiven: why ? [18:31] !bluetooth [18:31] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:31] ne7work: go to System -> administration -> hardware Drivers ? see if it shows any there. [18:31] xiven: I consider the new version of Ubuntu way better then last time I tried it. [18:32] howdy Dr_Willis [18:32] Well for one, according to some other people...Ubuntu developers know about this problem, but refuse to fix it. [18:32] Dr_Willis: and what about wireless? [18:32] Dr_Willis: This driver there is 1.85 latest driver in nvidia web site is 1.95 [18:32] xiven: you were the one with apache issue ? [18:32] Yes [18:32] Consul_Falx: theres plenty of docs on the various cli tools on configurign wireless also. [18:32] ne7work: so? latest is not always the greatest. [18:32] xiven: still working on it mate? [18:32] \leave [18:32] ive got an issue with rsync that doesnt make any sense. I go to rsync my home directory to my file server, it only makes the directory structures but doesnt actually copy the files. [18:33] ne7work: and trying the ones from the nvbidia web site can break things [18:33] Dr_Willis: but how to install? [18:33] ne7work: i always uise the ones from the 'Hardware drivers' tools suggests to install. === boost is now known as Guest1753 [18:33] Dr_Willis: are any of those already installed out-of-the-box ? [18:33] ne7work: i DONT worry about being the 'lastest version from the nvidia site' [18:33] I always use latest driver [18:33] Anybody having audio problem on netbook after installing the poulsbo driver for their graphics card in 9.10 ? [18:33] Consul_Falx: wireless tools are proberly. bluetooth - not. [18:33] Dr_Willis: please help me to install latest driver [18:33] ive had really good luck using envyng [18:33] what is the hot - key to lock my desktop? im using ubuntu gnome desktop. thanks [18:34] ne7work: too bad. you may make yoru system unuseable trying it. [18:34] !proberly [18:34] o.O [18:34] Hi [18:34] geek> No! I am not! [18:34] allowoverride; [Ctrl] + [Alt] + L [18:34] ne7work: i just said i DONT use them, and i dont reccomend it. theres proberly some wiki pages/forum threads on using the latest.. but you CAN have majopr problems with them [18:34] ctrl+alt+l [18:34] yep thats it, thanks dude :) [18:34] !who [18:34] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:34] I went into #httpd, and finally someone was nice enough to give me a link to change configuration in files..and it's NOW working [18:34] Is it possible to use xinerama on ubuntu 9.10 ? or is Xrandr (incompatible with xinerama I guess) the only option ? [18:35] Dr_Willis: oks latest drivers is stable not beta.. [18:35] That was a Ubuntu specific problem, but someone in #httpd had to finally answer it [18:35] ne7work: you are thinking in windows terms.. Drivers in linux do not work the same way. [18:35] ne7work: by trying the drivers from nvidia.com you can make your system where it wont run the desktop properly..or they might work.. [18:35] !wireless [18:35] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:35] Dr_Willis: xaxa [18:35] I will be changing distributions as soon as I have time to do a complete reinstall of linux [18:35] xiven: php5 with apache worked out of the box for me. I personally haven't been able to recreate this weird problem myself. (note, I'm not an Ubuntu developer) [18:35] xiven: Sorry to hear that. [18:36] ne7work: if you want the latest.. go to nvidia.com and download/install them.. good luck [18:36] xiven: it worked for me too, what problem are you facing [18:36] Every new version of Ubuntu I get since dapper, has had new problems which are the fault of package maintainers and programmers stupidity [18:36] xiven: did you use the LAMP task install? [18:36] ori: okay, you just need to delete some files and it'll be gone. They are ~/.ies4linux folder, Executables at ~/bin, and the Desktop shortcuts. [18:36] xiven: Have you filed bugs? [18:36] Apache2 kept trying to download php files instead of parsing them [18:37] ori: to do that, just open a terminal and run these commands: [18:37] [18:37] can i use chntpw to reset my vista pass? [18:37] I don't have time to debate or discuss this..I'm hours behind [18:37] xiven: php module installed ? [18:37] hello people! [18:37] dissapointednoob: please stop doing that. [18:37] Dawood: Hello [18:37] ori: rm -R ~/.ies4linux [18:37] Dr_Willis: one last question. :) is there a way to emulate bin & iso files on linux? [18:38] ori: rm -R ~/bin/ie6 [18:38] paraplegicpanda: did you get the W thing sorted out? [18:38] ori: Then just go to your desktop and delete the files there [18:38] Lord_Chewbakka: you can MOUNT such things to a directory and access them. but that does not 'emulate' a real cd/dvd drive. and copy protection will NOT work. [18:38] crucialhoax: Nope, still trying to figure it out. [18:38] parapalegicpanda, it asks if i want to delete it... type yes? [18:38] Hello [18:39] Dr_Willis: no its not copy protected its a free game [18:39] paraplegicpanda: hmm. odd ori yes [18:39] ori: exactly. [18:39] i cant modify this file /etc/security/limits.conf.....i need to add 2 lines but i dont know how.....if someone is kind to help me pls! noob here in linux [18:39] Lord_Chewbakka: What do you mean by that ? Creating an iso file and use it like a CD ? [18:39] !sudo | Dawood [18:39] Dawood: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [18:39] crucialhoax: Lol, agreed. [18:39] Dawood: type sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf [18:39] Lord_Chewbakka: then use the fuseiso tool, or convert it to iso with the bchunk (i think) tool and mount the made iso file.. [18:39] !iso [18:39] 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. [18:39] LaMs: in windows i had deamon tools [18:40] parapalegicpanda, it still says its installed [18:40] wierd [18:40] thank you! [18:40] parapalegicpanda, I assume it isn't, but is there any way to clean it up? [18:40] Lord_Chewbakka: Then you can mount your image like ubottu just wrote [18:40] hello, I got a mycinema P7131 tv tuner card, and i would like to get it to work on ubuntu, but I can find anything on the internets... [18:40] Lord_Chewbakka if the game had no disk based copy prottetion then you wouldent really need deamon tools to run it either.. You could just access the images and copy all the files to some directory and install from the dir if you wanted to also. [18:41] Dr_Willis: but i tried burning the bin file with no result, cant get it to open :o [18:41] another question... does bluetooth start before I start KDE, which starts its Bt applet, or does it not? (in case I let everything on default) [18:41] Lord_Chewbakka: so convert to iso and mount via mount.. or use the fuseiso tool and mount the bin/cue files [18:41] Consul_Falx: It starts when the KDE session starts. [18:41] ori: where does it say that? [18:41] crucialhoax: and terminates when KDE session ends? [18:41] parapalegicpanda, wine application uninstaller.... wine is REALLY messy [18:42] il try fuseiso, here i go wroom [18:42] Consul_Falx: Yes, it should. [18:42] Hey, at my wits end with installing Hauppague tv tuner and getting mythtv (or any tv program) to run/work/record. any help would be awsome! [18:42] how to enable autologin in lubuntu (ubuntu with lxde) [18:42] !mythbuntu [18:42] Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [18:42] parapalegicpanda, actually there are several things that wine said were uninstalled, but they're still there. How do I get rid of them??? [18:42] and how about wireless? that starts before KDM, doesn't it? [18:42] lol [18:42] ori: yeah, I always just forget about the Wine uninstaller. It never seems to work for me. Mine is incrdibly messy as well, but the app should be gone from your computer. [18:43] I'm working on cloning discs, having some issues with dd... anyone want to help me out? [18:43] Consul_Falx: Well the init scripts will bring up the interface yes. [18:43] parapalegicpanda, ok.... would you happen to know how to remove programs from the wine program list? === flick is now known as Guest55851 [18:43] crucialhoax: can you tell me which tool operates wireless without having X started?

[18:44] ori: no prob. Have fun! [18:44] Consul_Falx: ifconfig up [18:44] ok! [18:45] anyone with mythtv experience? [18:45] i have a question on wireless adapter not wanting to auto start like eht0 does [18:45] I need a new *nix box, but not urgently. should I use Ubuntu 9.1 or wait for 10? [18:45] crucialhoax: can I have it explained briefly? -.- [18:45] where can i view php logs [18:45] sorry apache logs? [18:46] Consul_Falx: ifconfig will bring up the interface once you are into a shell. Is that what you need? [18:46] Zed`: I would wait for 10.04 as it is an LTS [18:46] so Ubuntu Software Center is telling me there's not package for Tomcat.. is that true? [18:46] Bisu[Shield]: /var/log/apache2 [18:46] hanc: go ahead with your question all on one line, no need to mention you have a question since you're already here... ;-) [18:46] ifconfig and iwconfig wont recognize it [18:46] hanc: does lspci recognize the card? [18:46] I'm in a shell and have wlan0 active yet unconfigured [18:46] crucialhoax: thanks my thought, too. Can you guess at how long? [18:47] !LTS [18:47] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [18:47] I want to set it up and eventually activate / deactivate later on [18:47] but i know that the device is there, i had it configured...i restarted and it says wlan0 is disabled [18:47] hanc: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [18:47] rdg: try searching for tomcat6 (or just sudo apt-get install tomcat6;) [18:47] rdg: Shouldn't be. On my computer the tomcat web server package is called tomcat6 [18:47] crucialhoax: damn you're fast, lol. [18:47] !lucid [18:47] 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 [18:48] anyone have any experience in methods of cloning a mounted drive? [18:48] says no such device [18:48] using dd, preferably [18:48] crucialhoax: thanks :)) [18:48] Keg_: partimage [18:48] paraplegicpanda: What do you mean? lol Zed` No problem :) [18:48] Zed`: No problem [18:48] text=%7 [18:48] greetings :) [18:48] oh using dd [18:48] geekphreak: reading the man page now, will bug you again if need be [18:48] crucialhoax: I keep going to answer a question then I look up and you've already got it, lol. [18:48] trism - a search for tomcat should return tomcat6 in the ubuntu software center.. that's why i'm confused [18:49] np :) [18:49] Keg_: what do you mean? and no, you don't want to use dd [18:49] crucialhoax: nice, but... how do I set up a connection from shell? [18:49] Any know if you can upgrade from 9.10 to 10.01 LTS when it comes out? [18:49] Setting up a new box and didnt want to use the beta [18:49] paraplegicpanda: Haha its the coffee [18:49] psusi: I have five PC's that can't boot from externals... and I want to clone the heavily customized ubuntu acreoss them [18:49] please someone help me with phpmyadmin [18:49] i guess apt and ubuntu software center have different package lists?

[18:50] Consul_Falx: I believe there is a file named hosts that network manager reads and can be configured to set-up a connection without a gui [18:50] keg_ clonezilla [18:50] I installed xbmc bootsplash but can't find anything in the menues to change it [18:50] rdg: yes it should, but the search in ubuntu software center isn't very good (better to search with apt-cache search -n package_name) [18:50] Keg_: if you want to create a backup image of your drive, you want something like partimage, or g4l which uses it... which you can find on the parted magic livecd [18:50] snarkster: everything i've read about clonezilla seems to indicate i need to boot into it... is this true? [18:50] okay, I kinda messed up my Ubuntu. I deinstalled nautilus and after restarting I get a black screen when booting Ubuntu. Any idea what to do now? [18:50] i can't boot from any external [18:50] crucialhoax: makes sense, I'm just now on my second coke of the morning. I'd also probably be faster if nautilus didn't come up everytime I hit the frickin W key, lol. [18:50] geekphreak: 404 not found [18:50] Keg_: yes [18:50] ne7work: are you typing localhost/phpmyadmin/ [18:50] rdg: or without the -n to search package descriptions too [18:51] paraplegicpanda: bahaha, I honestly believe that has to be the weirdest thing lol [18:51] Keg_: then how do you propose to boot? [18:51] ne7work: try localhost/phpMyAdmin/ [18:51] psusi: my idea is to somehow clone the customised one onto the other one using my external bay [18:51] buuut, i keep running into a corrupted copy, due to using dd on a mounted system [18:51] crucialhoax: I am so effin confused about it. Back to Google for me. [18:51] Keg_: yea... and how are you goign to do that if it has no bootable os and no way to boot from external media? [18:51] Does anyone know how I might change the port number evolution uses to check and send messages? I didn't see any place to configure that [18:51] I think google is confused too lol [18:52] geekphreak: localhost or 127.0.0.1 i don't have a phpmyadmin.conf in apache2/.. [18:52] geekphreak: can you help me? [18:52] ne7work: i can try :) [18:52] platzhirsch: press ctrl-alt-f2 loging via the shell sudo su enter root pass then "apt-get install nautilus" [18:52] crucialhoax: Well at least they don't have nautilus in their face... :-P [18:52] i am trying to make aion (online game) to work on linux but i guess it is to hard to do that....start using linux 3 days ago! [18:52] Keg_: does the machine have a usb port? you could boot from a usb stick [18:52] geekphreak: let's go ;] [18:52] Keg_: flash that is [18:52] platzhirsch: hopefully that'll do it. [18:53] jshriver: already did :/ [18:53] psusi: tried, but the BIOS seems to be not working for booting from a USB.... I originally tried using remastersys to make a distro, but these damned things just do NOT want to boot from external media [18:53] ne7work: open browser type in localhost/phpMyAdmin/ [18:53] may as well try again though [18:53] paraplegicpanda: haha true [18:53] platzhirsch: do the same but try dpkg-reconfigure x11 .. might have the wrong package name but maybe can correct me [18:53] geekphreak: 404 not found ?! [18:53] jshriver: ok, thanks [18:53] ne7work: did you apt-get it? [18:54] Keg_: what IS it booting from then? if it can't boot from anything but the internal disk, which has no os, then you can't install an os.. chicken and egg problem... [18:54] what is mublinder? [18:54] psusi: hahahaha [18:54] psusi: they're FIT-PC2's, and they came with Ubuntu 9.10 installed. I suppose I may be better off just trying to make a shell script to do all my customization...

[20:13] posix4e: yes the alternate cd download [20:13] ok [20:13] imo netbook remix theme is just "in the way" [20:13] Tru7h, can you use pastebin.com, so I can edit the text...

[22:40] hello everyone [22:40] i just installed ubunto 9.04 on my laptop. when i close the lid the computer goes on suspend and when i open it again the keyboard and touchpad stop working. no matter what setting i have it on everytime i open the laptop lid to use the already turned on computer i can see the screen but i can't input anything.

[22:40] I have a bunch of accounts with the group 'students'. I want to provide a person with read-only access to their home directories, but I don't want people in 'students' to be able to view each others home directories. Is there any way to do this? [22:40] bencc : in synaptic find package and click on it and under package tab select lock version [22:40] Thanks [22:40] bencc: 1 sec [22:41] daniel__: some hardware does not support suspending. How much swap space do you have? [22:41] I'll look too. Thanks. [22:41] RyanP: you would want to set them with only write so they cannot read. neither write or read nor execute [22:41] i did but i don't know what to change. i've changed the setting already before coming here to see if anything would work but nothing i've been able to do or read from forums has worked [22:41] Good night everyone [22:41] bencc: try looking at "man dpkg" for hold feature [22:41] LinuxGuy2009: thanks [22:41] is there a CLI util to strip ANSI color sequences from text? (more easily than just using sed) [22:41] bencc: welcome [22:42] RyanP: you'll probably have to resort to ACLs [22:42] my swap space is around 1 gig [22:42] can i download drivers for this? === jynn_624 is now known as jynn [22:42] daniel__: 9.10? [22:42] daniel__: so your system has 1 gig as well? [22:42] yes [22:42] RyanP: I'm assuming you don't want to create some new group, give the group ownership to all of those student's homes and then add that one person to that group [22:42] RyanP: the group students should only have write access. with one user that has full or read write [22:43] hey peeps is samba the fastest way to sync in itunes over a network or should i do something else? [22:43] daniel__: Has it always worked in previous versions on the same machine? [22:43] this is the first version of ubuntu i've tried [22:43] crucialhoax: why is write access relevant? [22:43] can anyone direct me to a helix 3 help chat? sorry to ask here, but ubuntu is the only linux i have experience with [22:43] LinuxGuy2009: Isnt the swap space double the ram on a default install? [22:43] the hard drive of my system is 40 gigs for ubuntu [22:43] daniel__: I see. Perhaps download and test out Lucid beta2, releases today, and see if its supported and working in the new Lucid LTS. [22:43] my ram is 3 gigs [22:44] jrib: If a user has only write then the user can read; therefore cannot see the folder. [22:44] thank you i'll try that [22:44] crucialhoax: why are you giving write access at all? [22:44] daniel__: that could be your problem. You need to have at least as much swap as RAM [22:44] jrib: I could do that, perhaps. [22:44] for one user [22:44] crucialhoax: It depends on user prefs and amout of system ram and other crap. [22:44] What is a good tool to save a mms://-stream to a local file?

[22:45] Have there ever been requests for complete applications to be developed? [22:45] it was halfway through installing the base system [22:45] LinuxGuy2009: Then his swap should be 6gb... [22:45] and now the screen has gone red [22:45] jrib: How difficult are ACLs? [22:45] why oh why oh why [22:45] is there a way for me to fix that and add more space to my swap? [22:45] crucialhoax: who? daniel__? [22:45] liminal: What stage was that? [22:45] WHY [22:45] yea [22:45] LinuxGuy2009: daniel__ [22:45] crucialhoax: LinuxGuy2009: no 3GB is enough these days.. [22:45] RyanP: I never found any good documentation, « man setfacl » and « man getfacl ». They're not that difficult. Note you have to remount the partition with the acl option [22:45] daniel__: How much system ram do you have? [22:45] it was installing the base system [22:45] liminal: to see possibly what went wrong. [22:45] 3 gigs [22:46] that stage [22:46] liminal : did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [22:46] any errors that printed prior to that? [22:46] jrib: I think I'll look in that direction. That seems to be what I need. Thanks. [22:46] its not the iso [22:46] RyanP: yes, they definitely give you a lot more control [22:46] daniel__: I would personally do like 3.5GB in your case maybe. But thats only relevent with hibernate and not suspend. [22:46] ive used the same cd to install it in another sytem [22:46] daniel__: You trying to hibernate? [22:47] no just suspend [22:47] crucialhoax? [22:47] how do i see why it went wrong [22:47] liminal: Is there a reason for the alternate cd? I assume an older system? [22:47] daniel__: Ok go to system->prefs->power and check the setting for lid close. [22:47] zvacet: thanks [22:47] whenever i want to acces a windows partition, the system asks for athentication for the first time, how can i disable this feature? [22:47] RyanP: there's also eiciel (graphical editor for ACLs) that might make it easier to play with ACLs at first [22:48] pranay_09: fstab entry? [22:48] it failed at select and install software [22:48] i think maybe i have a dodgy Harddrive? [22:48] it's on suspend [22:48] LinuxGuy2009: the system automatically detects the window partitions , i did'nt do it manually [22:48] jrib: Thanks. Looks like something I don't want to just throw into a live environment though. [22:49] liminal: you could check it with the livecd [22:49] the reason why im using an alternate cd is because the normal iso doesnt work at all [22:49] daniel__: like I said in the beginning, not all hardware is supported.. [22:49] RyanP: well, I'd get comfortable with them first, but for something simple like you are doing, there's not much to worry about [22:49] daniel__: what is the laptop? [22:49] pranay_09: If you want to access a partition without password then I would suggest a mount in fstab [22:49] hp pavillion dv5 [22:50] how do i check my harddrive? [22:50] LinuxGuy2009: ok [22:50] daniel__: Does the lappy suspend or shutdown or what? Problem is that it wont wake up? [22:50] liminal: for SMART errors ? or check the filesystem within ? [22:50] it suspends and does everythign just fine [22:50] liminal: Why do you think your hdd is bad? [22:50] RyanP: http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/ looks decent with some examples [22:51] when i wake it up everything works fine except the keyboard and the mouse won't work [22:51] RyanP: anyway, I'm off to grab some food [22:51] liminal: spinrite is a great tool. you have to pay for it though.. [22:51] daniel__: I would either file a bug, or test out Lucid beta2. [22:51] jrib: Thanks. I think I can find what I need from here.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:10] I like Lucid [23:10] Trek, It's just surprising with 12Mb/2Mb connection, IRC is the only thing that has issues or dropped packets. [23:10] Trek: get a life [23:10] PEOPLE: DISCUSSION OF LUCID IS NOT HERE! Either in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu+1 [23:10] LinuxGuy2009: Please be civil. [23:10] linuxguy101: please be polite [23:11] Trek: drop the caps please [23:11] we are here to help. not yell at people when they ask a offtopic question :) [23:11] LinuxGuy2009.. erm not sure. I basically watch to choose where gnome-panel send audio output, similar to how it can be done for vlc. I have two sound cards but can't get system sounds to go to the same card as everything else in my install. [23:11] Im running Lucid and it is quite good. Just wanted to say. [23:12] hey guys first time in this irc [23:12] hi [23:12] welcome brucebruce [23:12] welcome brucebruce [23:12] been running karmic now for about a month and im quite happy [23:12] Welcome [23:12] what software cad 3d for linux? [23:12] im a linux n00b but i love love it [23:12] thanks [23:12] got into it for android dev [23:12] brucebruce, Happen to be the same standup comedian? [23:12] shab1, blender [23:12] mustangg1: that disables all sound when selected [23:13] maybe [23:13] :) [23:13] no [23:13] i wish [23:13] brucebruce, nice. got a support question? [23:13] brucebruce: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:13] FloodBot1, ohh im sorry [23:13] brucebruce: yeah, it does that. again, do you have a support question? [23:13] Trek, well umm what's the deal with lucid? [23:13] Has anybody had some trouble with upgrading to Karmic and apache and/or phpmyadmin not working? [23:13] is it worth the upgrade yet? [23:13] subone: do you worh by blender? [23:14] * Trek fumes [23:14] !lucid | brucebruce [23:14] brucebruce: 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 [23:14] yes, just did :) [23:14] brucebruce: not recommended. it is still beta [23:14] haha im out of here, i'l be in ##linux if anyone needs help.. [23:14] brucebruce: see above for more support [23:14] shab1, yes i have used blender, its a great free opensource project [23:14] since by using sudo -i one becomes the root user so any user having an acc on the system can have root access? [23:14] wow this irc is LEGIT === thebard is now known as koleoptero [23:14] haha [23:14] pranay_09: No. [23:14] pranay_09, only users that are in the sudo group [23:15] is this a good spot to come for questions and support [23:15] Well, "admin" group. [23:15] pranay_09, either in the sudo'ers file or within a group that is given the permission [23:15] brucebruce: Yeah just watch out for trolls and grumpy ops and youll be ok. [23:15] as a n00b [23:15] brucebruce: this is the support channel, so yeah you can ask questions here. [23:15] brucebruce: for karmic and below yes :) [23:15] i don't want to feel like a n00b on xda lol [23:15] brucebruce: for other non-support stuff, like discussions, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:15] sudone: ok, can you please tell me where is this file located? [23:15] very awesome IdleOne and thanks Trek [23:15] noob is not an emotion. [23:16] ;-) [23:16] hahaha [23:16] pranay_09, run this from the terminal `sudo visudo` [23:16] linuxguy101 - I actually see the audio activity in my (pulse) volume control, but system sounds always show as "ALSA plugin [gnome-panel]: ALSA Playback" which seems locked somewhere to the second card I have [23:16] so i find that pulseaudio seems to be a cpu hog sometimes and i have to kill it [23:16] mustangg1, Have you verified your sound works via another operating system (Windows) [23:16] pulseaudio causes my rhythmbox to skip [23:16] sometimes [23:16] mustangg1: Im sure you just need to fiddle fart around with system->prefs->sound [23:17] brucebruce: try VLC [23:17] Yep thats probably right [23:17] is vlc a better player for just music library [23:17] No [23:17] Runeg , both cards work fine because I can get audio, mixed and matched even but can't get system sounds alone to the right card! [23:17] brucebruce: I prefer it [23:17] brucebruce, No, Amarok would be. [23:17] brucebruce: There are many apps for many things. [23:17] mustangg1: ok i found a work around here with alsamixer [23:17] brucebruce: Best just starts flame wars [23:18] brucebruce: Check out the software center [23:18] !vlc brucebruce [23:18] bummer. [23:18] brucebruce, everyone has their preference, i use rhythmbox [23:18] !best | brucebruce [23:18] brucebruce: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:18] ty jpds [23:18] i use rhythmbox too [23:18] haha the bestbot hahaha [23:18] i didnt know there was a bot room... [23:19] that is great [23:19] bestbot=ubottu [23:19] ive used VLC for video [23:19] and in windoze [23:20] !vlc | brucebruce [23:20] brucebruce: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [23:20] but in ubuntu i just wanted a good program for managing audio and whatnot [23:20] i tried amarok but had nothing but problems [23:20] subone: thanks , got it but i can't find my username there , is it that i am in a group? [23:20] brucebruce: try out the default Rhythmbox and go from there. [23:20] now the topic is on music applications, I'm new to that as well... In a Windows-environment I'd prefer Foobar 2000, but what is a decent equivalent for that in Ubuntu, judged by 'look-and-feel' ? [23:21] mathieu__: For encoding or what? [23:21] Rhythmbox is simple [23:21] no, only for playing mp3 [23:21] pranay_09, could be, try: Sys>Admin>Users/Groups [23:21] stepstools: agreed [23:21] LinuxGuy2009, i am using rhythmbox for a while now and it's nice [23:21] mathieu__: I think we just pasted like 10 different things to help with that. [23:21] with amarok the audio would not play [23:21] i no matter what i did, sorry ubuntu n00b [23:21] hi gyus, just upgraded to lucid, and i have problemss with gwibber. when i want to autorize my facebook account, it ends with error "file not found on site". It seems he completely ignore my proxy settings. === Trek is now known as TrekCaptain [23:22] pranay_09, select your user from the list and click manage groups [23:22] pr0b: #ubuntu+1 === TrekCaptain is now known as Trek [23:22] opengpg question how do i know if ive accidentally released my private key instead of my public key when i published them to the keyserver [23:22] !lucid | pr0b [23:22] pr0b: 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 [23:22] pranay_09, note that any user that is allowed sudo priveledges is in the "admin" group [23:22] oh sry :) [23:22] Merci. I'll have to check them out then :-) [23:22] I am out. Be back later on. Peace all. [23:22] so can i not change my 'nick' in this with '/' [23:23] pranay_09, but you can also add such admin priveledges and limit them to certain applications or paths in the /etc/sudoers file [23:23] '/nick' doesnt work [23:23] brucebruce, this isnt irc support [23:23] using xchat btw, via apt-get install xchat [23:23] lol [23:23] im in another server right now and /nick works perfectly === subone is now known as subone_nick_comm [23:24] works [23:24] brucebruce, look at the server pane, you are probably in a channel with +i === subone_nick_comm is now known as subone [23:24] Which means that you can't change your nick without first parting that channel. [23:24] bl4ck i dont think so man [23:25] So leave all your channels, change your nick, then rejoin. [23:25] subone: ok, what's the diff between root and admin? is it to do only with diff in some permissions with admin having more?L [23:25] admin is root [23:25] Yep [23:25] ill deal with this nick [23:26] in my pulse volume control I have the correct card as default, and both pulse and gnome-control the options mirror each other. there just simply doesn't seem to be a place to define where gnome send its' ouput [23:26] opengpg question how do i know if ive accidentally released my private key instead of my public key when i published my new key to the keyserver [23:26] that's much better [23:26] Please people I need help already... I cannot access to my firefox markers and history because it says a security software is using them, and I didnt start or install ANY security software... please someone help me. The need of typing a whole page everytime is getting me crazy [23:26] subone: but i can find two separate group names for root and admin in group settings [23:26] pranay_09, oh do you mean the 'root' group? the 'root' group is only used by the 'root' user [23:26] pranay_09, there should be a pranay_09 group too, of which only you are a part of [23:26] LinuxGuy: thanks for that list. First impression: Amarok looks nicer than Foobar. [23:27] do you guys recommend using psydm for permissions? [23:27] mustangg1: everything is sent to the pulseaudio server and then out to whatever device is selected. [23:27] luis_: in ubuntu? [23:27] hi guys, just a little suestion, just a question you know. so, can anyone tell me is there some similar channel but related to windows or 7 plz? or is here some kind of taboo about that? :D [23:27] is there an easy way to resize a bunch of images with ubuntu? [23:27] kubuntu but I am not getting support from the oficial channel [23:27] anyone else having no audio at all [23:27] pranay_09, the admin group is what you want, only the actual root account should be given the root group afaik [23:27] subone: ya it does exits [23:27] in lucid [23:28] sorry wrong group [23:28] LinuxGuy2009 - so by setting pulse defaults I should have already chosen my preferred card? [23:28] Nikolai_D_: #windows [23:28] Nikolai_D_, WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!???11 [23:28] Nikolai_D_, go to ##windows there is enough sT**d user [23:28] HELLO Crazy bots [23:28] aclonedsheep, lol [23:28] android in the HOUSE [23:29] hi #koush [23:29] mustangg1: Were you able to select a card for output? [23:29] subone : ok , so adding users to this 'admin' group will allow them to do sudo -i , right? [23:29] go go gadget android using ubuntu to work with it [23:29] lol i kinda knew ^^ maybe it was a joke u know to see a reaction ^^ [23:29] ha [23:29] What's the command to reset Firefox without rebooting? [23:30] buenas [23:30] alguien es español [23:30] mustangg1: 2 sound cards is kinda odd unless your doing music production for example. If you have onboard and a PCI card for example you may want to simplify it by disabling the onboard or something. [23:30] Nikolai_D_, please go trolling in other channel [23:30] yo [23:30] pranay_09, yes it should, be careful you dont remove everyone from the admin group though or you may lose your admin ability completely :p [23:30] LinuxGuy2009: merci beaucoup [23:30] good byebots [23:30] Red0 podrias hecharme una manilla [23:30] kubuntu but I am not getting support from the oficial channel [23:30] Please people I need help already... I cannot access to my firefox markers and history because it says a security software is using them, and I didnt start or install ANY security software... please someone help me. The need of typing a whole page everytime is getting me crazy [23:30] si, no se mucho peor a ver [23:30] Nikolai_D_: Engrish [23:31] luis_: does a new firefox profile allow you to use bookmarks? https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles === ck2 is now known as ckone [23:31] hello, can anyone help me with CUPS? Seems like everytime I reboot I need to manually restart cups via /etc/init.d/cups restart in order for it to recognize my printer. IS this a known issue? Is there a fix/workaround? Please ask for more details! Thanks! [23:31] it wasnt trolling , i just would really like if windows had also some channel like thisone [23:31] :d [23:31] luis_: So what exactly is your question? [23:31] mleger, localhost:631 [23:31] LinuxGuy2009: a solution to this problem [23:32] LinuxGuy2009: and what is really happening, this problem started just 2 days ago [23:32] Sia--, can you elaborate? Never really worked with cups before [23:32] luis_: You lost your browsing history? [23:32] mleger, use the web interface http:localhost:631 is more than simple [23:32] Here is output from the command line on my sound card. If any one cares to help. [23:32] subone: ok , thanks a lot buddy you cleared lots of doubts :) [23:33] !tell mleger about cups [23:33] mleger, please see my private message [23:33] luis_, what could have caused it that happened 2 days ago? [23:33] LinuxGuy2009: no I cannot acces to it, also I cannot access the markers because a red windows in the top of firefox alerts me than a "security software is using them" and I didnt start any sec software or install any [23:33] pranay_09, np [23:33] LinuxGuy2009- gotta admit that did seem like my final destination. ;) thanks. [23:33] Eh, anyone know the terminal command to reset Firefox? [23:33] subone: the only new program I installed is mediatomb [23:33] http://pastebin.com/gFDvJa9c [23:33] cannot think of mediatomb as a security software... [23:33] killall firefox [23:33] Smurfie: what do you mean by reset? [23:33] mustangg1: You lost me. [23:34] luis_, ps aux | grep firefox [23:34] Smurfie: reset as in: restore to all default settings? [23:34] luis_, what is the exact error you are getting? [23:34] and kill XXXX [23:34] There's some killall command to restore the settings without rebooting the entire system. [23:34] Anyone care to look at output regarding a sound card on Mac os x with 9.10? http://pastebin.com/gFDvJa9c [23:35] Smurfie, of course [23:35] It says access denied and that stumps me. [23:35] I don't know that, sorry. [23:35] emendo: That makes almost no sense. [23:35] LinuxGuy2009: Did you look at the output? [23:35] subone: do you know some spanish?

[23:47] sorry [23:48] hi, I upgraded the kernel image package this morning on my other pc, and now networking is broken/misbehaving, is there a file somewhere that I can delete to try and revert to defaults? [23:48] sheeps10: Have you tried booting with the previous kernel image to see if the problem remains? Are you certain it was the upgrade that caused the problem? [23:48] sheeps10, when you boot up, grub should give you the choice to try the previous kernel === boost is now known as Guest7707 [23:49] danand, subone: grub doesn't give a menu for some reason, I've never noticed before because I've been using it headless until networking broke today... [23:50] Since I'm not familiar with Italian language and its particular use of prepositions, then.... ask your question IN the Ubuntu support forum. [23:50] sheeps10, the timeout for grub might just be too short [23:50] Take a look in /boot/grub/menu.lst for timeout [23:50] (forgive my blunt directness, native Dutch :-)) [23:50] sheeps10: Which release of Ubuntu are you using? [23:50] sheeps10, try `gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst` and change the timeout value to something higher [23:51] sheeps10: Ie not zero [23:51] Or, if using GRUB2, just hold down Shift at boot. [23:52] it's karmic that I'm running, there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst file, which may be why there's no menu [23:52] sheeps10: Right, this is GRUB2. Just hold down Shift before GRUB would normally appear, and you should get a menu. [23:53] How can I find out whether my optical drive can write DVD+R discs? [23:54] markian: open it up and look for the glowing green capacitor [23:54] wait now [23:54] no [23:54] markrian: The front bezel usually has some logos for supported formats/features.
