[00:18] psusi: Files have been getting lost randomly over the past few months. A few weeks ago I did use smartmon and iirc it said there was bad blocks, but cannot be certain.

[00:21] tom4949311, if it is physically defective, then the drive should remap the address to the spare pool and you will see this in the smart numbers... if it's just one or two, you should be fine, if there are a lot, you should not use the drive anymore [00:21] maco didnt work, and when I went to boot up it couldnt mount [00:21] tom4949311, ohh, -c will detect it and just not use those blocks ever... it will not attempt to repair [00:21] maco it couldnt mount that media we created and I had to skip it to get sytem to boot up [00:22] shane_: add "noauto" to that options list (with user,rw,defaults) so it doesnt try to mount it on boot === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [00:22] Maybe this is a common knowledge thing, don't hate me!

[00:23] psusi: Do you have any idea how long a long smartmon test is compared to mkfs.ext3 -c ? I'm 50% through mkfs.ext3 -c and there are 20 minutes remaining. [00:23] maco is it possible to fix my windows xp bootloader and not mess up my ubuntu?

[00:24] maco with it plugged in??? [00:24] shane_: your windows bootloader is broken? or grub just isnt chainloading to it? [00:24] shane_: yes with it plugged in [00:24] maco not sure, just no when I choose to boot windows it just goes to a black screen and sits there [00:24] what length is an md5 hash? i forgot... [00:24] or is there a testdisk equivalent for linux? [00:25] shane_: it could be that your grub config isnt calling windows' bootloader right [00:25] psusi: My connection dropped for a second.

[01:06] Losha, most likely .. is the line supposed to be within the image or where you want the image to be? (i did the latter) [01:07] hi [01:07] chalcedony yea i could play them via rhythmbox as well as i could access the file directly on the device [01:07] halim: the file is not empty, a default apache+php installation comes with working configuration [01:07] whats the name of the app that ubuntu uses to show up the graphical boot up animation ? [01:07] chalcedony: I did it within the image. I find it hard to predict from the line how the result will look, though... [01:07] acicula, hmm, i guess that's the problem why the php modul doesn't work with apache [01:07] swoody: it says there is no "privative" drives in the system. My install is in spanish, I think it may mean propietary? [01:08] am setting up a laptop with U9.1 for my wife to use and want to connect to it via my m/c (U9.1 also) via home wireless. Which progam(s) should I be using. Is there a guide somewhere? [01:08] Losha, i'm cool with lines (used to be an artist .. i'll try drawing within the picture though :) [01:08] but where can i get a standard configuration for apache with php? [01:08] differentSmoke: yes, that's what it means :) Let me look into it for a minute... [01:08] chalcedony: I'm not very visual I'm afraid. I can't even match two colors together... [01:09] differentSmoke: can you give me the output of lspci through pastebin.ubuntu.com [01:09] chalcedony: gimp has a "healing" tool that might help [01:09] lspci is a comand? [01:09] Losha, rolling on the floor laughing .. i did it and now the picture is still crooked .. but upside down! [01:09] sudo lspci? [01:09] anyone knows whats the name of the app that ubuntu uses to show up the graphical boot up animation ? [01:09] differentSmoke: yes, sorry, and yeah go ahead and use sudo [01:10] chalcedony: that's what I meant when I said it's hard to know what the final result will be from line... [01:10] differentSmoke: is the system in question the one you're on now? [01:10] differentSmoke : lspci or lspci | grep net [01:10] Losha, ardchoille somehow i don't think this ought to be so complicated, it would have artists jumping out of 10th story windows! [01:10] no, but I'm right next to it. copying through a usb drive shouldn't be a problem [01:11] HugoDaniel: usplash or plymouth depending on what version you are talking about [01:11] differentSmoke: can you connect it via ethernet cable? [01:11] chalcedony: I do all my art work in the gimp, I know imagemagick is awesome but I don't use it often. [01:12] not really [01:12] ardchoille, i used to do it with some command which i used to have handy, until my hd died .. ok let's try gimp :) [01:12] jrib: what is the one used on the most recent beta ? [01:12] chalcedony: you might prefer gimp, but I think it's even more complicated, like photoshop. I'd give my left arm for a 'straighten' command in display... [01:12] differentSmoke: ok, well let's see what we get from lspci then [01:12] Losha, that's kind of what i'm afraid of too [01:12] HugoDaniel: should be plymouth (lucid questions should be asked in #ubuntu+1) [01:13] ok, thanks [01:13] differentSmoke: and we shouldn't need too much here, just run: lspci | grep -i net [01:13] Losha, i'll bet that 'transform' etc represents some commandline command with numbers that with some experiementation would set it straight [01:13] chalcedony: you go for it, girl...! [01:14] Losha, uh huh right.. wish my son hadn't moved to texas. [01:14] Bug in the initial boot screen? Ubuntu 10.04 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=xljb4z&s=5 bug 1, so that when Ubuntu will get the black screen with something written http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14jc1sw&s=5 bug2 after the 1st screen turns green and then the ubuntu logo appears http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2j32xdx&s=5 bug 3, when you restart it.

[01:16] chalcedony: I see something called 'nautilus-image-converter' in the repos which says it's a "...nautilus extension to mass resize or rotate images..." but I've never used it....

[01:17] astrocub: give it a minute, the servers may be busy this close to 10.04 release [01:17] chalcedony: did you forget to save it after you rotated? [01:17] ardchoille: is five minutes good? [01:17] Losha, hmmm probably [01:17] ardchoille: thanks [01:17] astrocub: I dont know the specific error but chrome will cause that problem [01:17] i have a 1megabit down connection [01:17] ok in the command line how do you extract files [01:17] astrocub: tbh, I'd just leave it and let it do its thing [01:17] is 10.04 out yet? [01:17] hey is python-qt4 important [01:17] DR_Fun1: It depends on what they were compressed with [01:18] crucialhoax: um, google-chrome will prevent me from downloading headers in apt?

[01:21] losha ardchoille ok i saved and made some copies for safety. in gimp, show grid and snap to grid did nothing.. imho it's seeing the picture and the white space around it as one. [01:22] swoody: I don't understand the question [01:22] http://pastebin.com/Q3BAV7cY <- problem installing arduino from ppa [01:22] chalcedony: after you rotated the image in gimp, did you fit the canvas to image like I told you before? [01:22] chalcedony: snap-to-grid is only for new stuff you draw, it won't do what you need... [01:23] ardchoille, i missed that step for sure. [01:23] chalcedony: you may also have to do Image > Fit layer to canvas, after the rotation [01:24] chalcedony: I'm glad ardchoille knows his way around the gimp... [01:24] Losha: gimp rocks! Been using it for years :) [01:25] I'm using a custom tty resolution with grub2, and the resoution works, but the entire output of TTYs is restricted to the bottom 4 lines of the screen (everything else is blank). Why could this be? [01:27] swoody? [01:28] chalcedony: you may also have to do Image > Fit layer to canvas, after the rotation / i have Image Edit and Misceleny Image Edit . but neither has 'fit layer to canvas' that i can see? [01:28] astrocub: seems the packages are packaged incorrectly [01:29] chalcedony: Which ubuntu version are you using? [01:29] astrocub: as judging by the trace there are conflicts between the packages, try a different ppa maybe? [01:29] chalcedony: are you looking in the Image menu item for that pic? [01:30] ardchoille, i have 9.04 i'm in image magick [01:30] Is it bad to have a graphics card that is 300 wats and a computer that is 300 wats because i just bought a new graphics Geforce 210 Nividia card and when I first turned on my computer it acted like it knew it was there. I try something and it's worse then before like i don't even have a graphic card? this is on my Ubuntu partition. On my windows, the mouse freezes and everything is big. Please help? [01:31] chalcedony: ok, I was referring to the gimp, never used the imagemagick gui [01:31] ardchoille, ok i can open it in gimp [01:32] i thought you were talking about IM [01:32] does anyone know how to enable desktop effect with a old computer? [01:33] Untitled_only: that requires compositing. Are you sure your graphics card on that computer can handle compositing [01:33] Untitled_only: Pretty much up to the graphics processor, video card that is. [01:34] Is it bad to have a graphics card that is 300 wats and a computer that is 300 wats because i just bought a new graphics Geforce 210 Nividia card and when I first turned on my computer it acted like it knew it was there.

[01:34] chrisl2424: the Gforce210 doesnt use 300W, i'd be surprised if it draws 30W [01:35] differentSmoke: sry bout that, laptop died. Anywho, so is this on a new install of Ubuntu? [01:35] I'm not sure. it has a intel processor [01:35] Untitled_only: I'd kinda doubt it unless you installed a newer gfx card [01:36] box says 300 wat, anyway can you help me? [01:36] chrisl2424: if you swapped graphics make sure both ubuntu and windows have loaded/reloaded the right video drivers [01:36] let me check the hardware info. give me a sec [01:36] ? [01:36] i did not swap [01:36] it used to use the cpu graphics [01:37] so you added a graphics card then? [01:38] yes [01:38] swoody: yes, it was windows XP but I overwrote it [01:38] ardchoille, Losha image gives me: Fit Canvas to Layers, but it's not doing anything? [01:39] chalcedony: did you do the rotation first? [01:39] differentSmoke: ok, I think the easiest way to do this would be to connect your computer via ethernet, run 'sudo apt-get update' and check the Hardware Drivers section again [01:39] chalcedony: step 1. rotation, step 2. Fit canvas.. [01:39] chrisl2424: then you have to make sure that the drivers are changed, on windows by installing the nvidia drivers, and on ubuntu via System->Administration->Hardware drivers [01:39] ardchoille, yes and saved and then copied, opened a copy in gimp [01:39] chalcedony: do all of this work on the same image [01:39] ack. maybe getting a new wireless card would be easier [01:40] windows won't even load it [01:40] swoody: can I update it manually? [01:40] chalcedony: you can always ctrl+z to revert a mistake in the gimp [01:40] chrisl2424: i dont understand [01:40] ardchoille, let's assume this is an original and it's just crooked not sideways. [01:41] differentSmoke: I don't know a way to, but you'll also need to be connected to download the driver, ndiswrapper, and any dependancies. You can download these via the computer you're on, and transfer them to the other computer via USB, but tbh, I'm not sure which packages you'll need :/ [01:41] swoody: I did try with ndiswrapper and what was supposedly a driver for my card(it is surprisingly hard to get, and I can't find the damned CD), but it did nothing [01:41] chalcedony: ok, then you might try Layer > Transform > Arbitrary rotation [01:42] Ok when I go to appearance menu, than click the Visual Effects it says" can not enable effects" [01:42] brb [01:42] differentSmoke: What wifi card are we talking about? [01:42] differentSmoke: try running this on that machine: sudo modprobe -r acx_pci [01:42] Hi I have a problem with rythembox [01:42] How do i find hardware information(processor, hdd, and the like) in Kubuntu? [01:42] Untitled_only: Probable because the proper video drivers cannot be installed or are not installed. [01:42] differentSmoke: then try your ndiswrapper with the driver again:sudo ndiswrapper -i [your windows driver here] [01:42] chalcedony: Would you be willing to let me try fixing the image? [01:43] ardchoille, sure moment [01:43] Probably* [01:43] so I'm configuring software raid, it's asking me for the active devices [01:43] when i plug my ipod in it asks to initialize it (like it should) I run it through the steps but at the end it gives me an error [01:43] so how do I install them? [01:44] do I choose just the ext4 drives? or the swap drives also [01:44] do I even need swap (6GB of RAM) [01:44] Untitled_only: What video card are you using? [01:44] Any ideas how to get videos on this page to work in Ubuntu -- http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/292938-8 [01:44] ATI [01:45] ardchoille, messaged you [01:45] chalcedony: got it [01:45] where can i look for log files [01:45] How do i find system info (ram, hdd capacity and processorspeed) in kubuntu? [01:45] :) [01:46] Neological: System Monitor should still be installed in Kubuntu. Try searching for it through the text box on the menu. [01:46] emma: video doesnt work? or it just needs flash? [01:46] swoody thanks. [01:46] david_brent: I watch youtube videos and other flash stuff with no apparent problem. [01:46] david_brent: but i can't get the videos on that page to start. [01:47] can you? [01:47] Neological: np, let me know if it doesn't work, or if you're looking for different specs :) [01:47] emma: yes [01:47] with Ubuntu? [01:48] emma: 9.10 yes, flashplayer 10.0.32 [01:48] I hear we have some imagemagick folks here [01:48] well does anyone know a visual effect app that works good on old computers?

But in kde suse, thay displayes system data in the desktop folder. just like wandows. Is it possible in kubuntu? [01:49] I have 9.10 also. [01:50] And the lastest flashplayer from Adobe. [01:50] emma: what version? what browser? [01:51] So I'm testing Lucid on my computer and when I suspend it does what I though was called hibernate. Meaning I have to switch my computer back on again when it does it. I want suspend to RAM. Is this intended, a bug, or am I uninformed? [01:51] Neological: This is Linux, anything's possible ;) I just don't know how offhand, lol. Is there something you want to find out that System Monitor didn't have, or are you just preferring to be able to see it in the folder? [01:51] hi all [01:51] david_brent: firefox Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45 [01:52] emma why don't u upgrade to 10.04? [01:52] do i just replace libflashplayer.so with the new one?

It never starts playing. [01:55] Bruc: What are you trying to update? are you trying to install something specific or do you wish to upgrade everything? [01:55] emma: your connection is good? [01:55] no just installed ubuntu [01:55] Yeah [01:55] trying to do all the updates [01:55] emma: really dont know :/ maybe someone can help you, else jsut fiddle with it [01:56] Ah, in that case run sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [01:56] this is cool package [01:56] emma: is the flash from the repos? [01:56] No I got it from Adobe. [01:56] I installed Lucid on my computer, and it works great except that Suspend seems to make my computer hibernate. It shuts it off so that I have to power it back on. Is there anyway I can have it "sleep" like in Windows so I just have to move my mouse to wake it up?

Problem with website. do they have a secondary source? [02:06] I'm trying to pad some images to be a standard size, and there's something I don't understand about command order. My (incorrect) command currently is "convert -size 1000x1000 xc:white source.jpg -compress JPEG -resize 225x250 -gravity center -composite dest.jpg". But it seems to be resizing AFTER composing, or something. I just want a 225x250 resized image, on a 1000x1000 white background. [02:06] Question: how do i install palringo [02:06] rage, solved. [02:07] I'll stop being annoying and get out of your hair if still no ideas :) [02:08] HenryDubb, thanks mate but I still have 9.10 [02:08] :) [02:08] guys i need help. [02:08] does anyone know how to activate fusion-icon? [02:08] iAccepted: I just looked at the palringo website. They don't have a version for Linux.

[02:22] sorry bad joke [02:22] soreau: if there was some OS accessory to flip a window to a mirror image, you could read it through the back. if I knew how, what I'd do would have every window on every workspace other than the one you're working on, mirror every window. that would look amazing [02:22] is there anyone on here working with the bug squad?

I've heard from ##hardware that I should prefer nVidia over ATI for this, does anyone know more specifics (or disagree)? [02:41] wombatman: it could be my microphone hardware that is evil. verily is it our place to know such things? [02:42] datagrok: i basically never plan on touching ATI for my Linux box's if i can help it. [02:42] nvidia [02:42] well the community is somewhat the primary tech support [02:42] but then again tech support is never perfect [02:42] Dr_Willis, I was looking for just that sort of sentiment. As a Linux user primarily, I understand I should avoid ATI but I'd like to know more specifics, rationale. [02:43] is there a way to see the last two/three/etc.. snippets on my clipboard? i lost a password and i had it copied but i accidentally cut something else, so now if i cant do that then its gone [02:43] TDJACR, jimi_: it's definitely ht ... googled the cpu :D [02:43] datagrok: sit in here long enough and you start to notice the ati questions/problems outnumber the nvidia ones by a very large factor, [02:43] specifics if it don;t work dont buy it lol if it ain't broke don't fix it lol [02:43] datagrok: its all about how well the companies are supporting linux. and at this time.. Nvidia has better support then ati. [02:44] never had problems wit nvidia [02:44] in general nvidia while not supporting a truly open driver do support linux to some small extent [02:44] Dr_Willis, I see, thanks for the help :) [02:44] My Order of preferance --> NVidia > INTEL > ATI > anythimng else.. and way way way down low.. is 'SiS' [02:45] wombatman, yeah lesser of two evils I suppose but my wife and I need the 3d games :) [02:45] datagrok: stick with nvidia then. [02:45] I am getting tired of people shutting out linux just because though [02:45] and dont go for the 'just released yesterday' sort of cards - if you want linux support.. go for the ones the have been out for a while. [02:46] Dr_Willis, great, that makes things easy to think about. [02:46] i'm positive this netflix watchnow stuff could work if they weren't testing my operating system when in linux [02:46] I dont see much point these days in getting the latest $400+ cards.. [02:46] it's also probably fudging around in wine too just to avoid that backdoor [02:46] Dr_Willis, I'm aiming for a GeForce GTX 275 [02:47] trying to get the best thing I can for $250. [02:47] Id even consider $250 a big overkill. :) but it depends on your needs. [02:47] i think it's because all linux users are hackers and might discover some backdoor to download the movies it'll let me watch numerous times for free [02:47] * Dr_Willis plugs his PC into a DVR. [02:47] evil haxor [02:48] Hello. I've got Ubuntu 9.10. I've been trying to record multi-session CDs and DVDs for backups. Both brasero and gnomebaker fail to do this -- brasero even has the option greyed out. XCdroast also will not run; it doesn't seem to understand the symlink of /usr/bin/cdrecord -> wodim. Has anyone else been able to do multisession CD recording on Ubuntu? [02:48] with a $30 Vga -> svideo adaptor! [02:48] wombatman, - lol [02:48] Dr_Willis, current games smoothly (but I'm not an overclocker super gamer), dual-head desktop, and a bit of future proofing. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:48] Maybe svideo graphics card [02:48] datagrok: even my old system here Nvidia 8800gtsxx handles most games smoothly. I just have to turn down some settings for Crysis and so forth. [02:49] Over the last update I have notice that chrome no longer displays thumbnails on distrowatch.com. Can someone else using chrome verify this? [02:49] datagrok: there was an artical the other day about how mainstream (ie deceintly priced hardware) can do most all games out now at very good rates. [02:49] Dr_Willis, hmm, I'll look for it, do you recall some words from the title I can feed to google? [02:50] understand now that the future is relative and honestly most programmers have yet to get the most out of what is currently considered good hardware. This statement however means that if you buy some big technology tomorrow they'll invent some newer technology just so you will buy it [02:50] weel i just ckicked on distrowatch with firefox and works fine [02:50] Irc chatting is fun [02:50] it was at one of those major hardware review sites. Phronix perhaps/ [02:51] hiexpo: I am not showing thumbnails with FF either =/ [02:51] Its almost better in ways to spend $100 on a decent card now.. then in 6+ mo.. spend another $100 on whatever card is decent... then spend $300 now on a card that will be $100 in 6 mo. :) [02:51] must be a chrome issue i would never install chrome [02:51] hiexpo: FF does not work either... [02:52] works here [02:52] well. [02:52] Oh well lol [02:52] distrowatch thumbs has worked for me befor in chrome [02:52] Looks like a distrowatch.com issue [02:52] Me too, however, neither FF nor chrome work now.

[03:36] do: ls -ltr several times until the file size is stable and then cp FlashWhatever myflash.flv [03:36] pythags12, check this out: http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check [03:37] ok [03:37] pythags12: There aren't any drivers that provide 3D for that card yet AFAIK. The latest from amd site *might* but not sure [03:38] grr darn it [03:38] emerson, in your firefox adress bar type: about:cache and find out where your cache is located at [03:38] how does one get 9.10 to recognize a mic? [03:39] pythags12, unfortunatelly ATI support for very new or very old cards is not very good :( [03:39] pythags12: I believe the pre-released catalyst driver shipped with lucid has 3D for that card, however lucid is not out yet [03:39] pythags12: The open radeon driver has preliminary KMS support but no 2D or 3D acceleration yet (though it will eventually since amd provides docs for radeon hw) [03:39] ok let me paste this guys [03:40] dcider, make sure your mic is connected to the right port (mini jack input) and make sure is not muted; right click your sound icon and go to sound preferences to check it; you can also run "alsamixer" (no quotes) in a terminal [03:40] good day, can someone guide me to install gfxboot on ubuntu 9.10? [03:40] is there a better php/apache development package to use than xampp for ubuntu? or is xampp pretty much the only one of its kind? i use xampp for windows [03:40] still not there ...

[03:44] pythags12: I don't know why you're even trying to start compiz after I just told you don't have 3D [03:44] ok cool [03:44] dcider: if your mike is a regular one (not a usb one... if such thing exist) it should work; your sound card may not be configured or something (hardware-wise) is not right; have you tried that microphone somewhere else? make sure you are using the right channels (analog/digital) [03:44] darolu: They had done a very good job I don't know whay but works... [03:44] pythags12: Even worse, you're using that worthless compiz-check script [03:45] worthless?? [03:46] <^b0ss^> well well [03:46] <^b0ss^> guess i dont really need a anti virus at this stage [03:46] if anybody knows how do download files from youtube now please let me know ..because youtube-dl doesn't work anymore and I even can access those videos from my temporary files...

Not sure how it works, and if I told I knew how to use it I would be lying. I suggest using Google once you get to that point. I wilsh I could help more. [04:44] Tit4n, ok, thanks a lot! =D [04:44] acovrig: should be about 30 tables created. [04:45] KyliesBF, For wirelss cards only though. Glad I could help some at least. [04:45] how can I tell?

[05:34] maginot: well the file is created in /etc/grub.d/30_CustomWindows [05:34] untitled how much memory do you have? === SpinUp is now known as DanDare [05:35] whats up with install mscorefonts ? [05:35] I think 21 gigs in total [05:35] acovrig: Did you find out if your java is up to date? [05:35] chief, yes, like expected, and inside the file you have the content of lines 2 to 9, right? [05:35] dj_segfault can you tell me how much unused space i have on my hard? (http://img651.imageshack.us/i/lllabast.png/) [05:35] no of them [05:35] untitled, no disk space, physical memory [05:35] not [05:35] dj_segfault: it didnt fix sound and ps says its runnin [05:35] no ms core fonts [05:35] Untitled_only: output of 'free' ? [05:36] 10.2 gigs free [05:36] this is not microsoft anyways [05:36] yeah does any1 eles have issue with mscorefonts? [05:36] no [05:36] :( [05:36] maginot: indeed I do, this is the result after update http://maginot.pastebin.com/p313EmCc [05:36] untitled, Not hard drive space actual physical memory [05:36] !anyone | Matt1 [05:36] Matt1: 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? [05:36] hiexpo, do you have ttf-mscorefonts-installer package? [05:36] let me check [05:37] nope i hate bill gates [05:37] chief, wait wait are you using grub legacy, not grub 2? DO you have /boot/grub/menu.lst? [05:37] Dolp: You have that 167GB chunk free. Did you delete a partition from there? Try right-clicking on the rectangle in the chart where it says "unallocated" and see if there's an "add" option or "create" option. [05:37] chief: to get rid of other kernels just uninstall them via synaptic [05:37] maginot : yup [05:37] yeah i have the ttf-mscorefonts-installer [05:38] chief, ahhh and I was thinking you were using grub2... this changes things a little [05:38] acovrig: ? [05:38] Matt1, sorry sent my post to the wrong person (sorry hiexpo) [05:38] ZykoticK9: 9.10, thanks for the factoid. [05:38] Dolp: you have 16.74 Gb free in the partition [05:38] infid: That should fix it. Being the work of the Devil, though, sometimes it doesn't die when you tell it to. Run "pulseaudio -k" then verify that ps says it is not running. [05:38] maginot : grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) [05:38] selig5 okay [05:39] chief, here, take a look, much easier (I think): http://boff.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/editing-bootgrubmenulst-to-change-the-grub-boot-menu/ [05:39] selig5 how much free space do i have overall? [05:39] maginot: ok give me a moment [05:39] Dolp: Did you try what I said? [05:40] Dolp: there is a big chunk of the hdd that in unallocated [05:40] dj_segfault: should i use esound [05:40] chief, use the link to get situated where you must change your menu.lst, in the end your windows entry will be like this: http://maginot.pastebin.com/Uxvtn9Fj [05:40] how do u find out how much physical memory you have? [05:40] chief, after that, don't need to do nothing, just reboot. [05:41] ZykoticK9: I looked in ~/.local/share/Trash, the file exists, and I haven't emptied it or even touched that dir, however it's empty and nothing can be moved into the trash, everything just wants to be deleted straight away. Could the permissions be wrong possibly? [05:41] infid: Not since lilo has a single piece of Linux software caused so many problems. To be fair part of the problem is the flash player too, though. You don't run MythTV by chance, do you? [05:41] Can I patebin a screenshot, it's a *.png file? [05:41] *pastebin [05:41] Dolp: 167 GB unallocated [05:41] !screenshot | greezmunkey [05:41] greezmunkey: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [05:41] where is the city of sandy [05:42] thanks bastid_raZor :) [05:42] greezmunkey: no problem. [05:42] Triplicate, they could be -- "ls -ld ~/.local/share/Trash" on my system shows owned by my user and ONLY permissions for my user [05:42] chief, I'm just confused if will be (hd2,1) or (hd2,0), because with grub2 is hd2,1 which means /dev/sdc1 , if something go wrong, just change from (hd2,1) to (hd2,0) you got it? [05:42] duly bookmarked [05:43] maginot: yup giving it a shoot now [05:43] dj_segfault: no i dont use myth tv, and it's ONLY flash that sound is flakey. i use rhythmbox all day long fine [05:43] akuma2020 it never asked me anything just went back to the command line [05:43] dj_segfault: and it's equally flakey in chrome and firefox [05:44] infid: Same flash player. There is only one, and it's closed source. Did you try killing both browsers? [05:44] if I run the computer janitor, will it delete all my documents? [05:44] dj_segfault: yeah and sometimes restartin the browser works, sometimes i dont have to restair the browser, it'll just magically start workin an hour or so later [05:45] Untitled_only no [05:45] selig5 does that mean I have 167GB of free space? [05:45] ok, but will it make my computer faster [05:46] Dolp: Why do you keep asking the same damn question 15 times without responding to people who are trying to help you? [05:46] Dolp: unallocated space is free space you can expand your other partitions into or just partition it separately [05:46] selig5 thanks. so how do i make a 100GB partion on my hardrive? [05:47] Dolp: with gparted live cd [05:47] bastid_raZor: check this out: http://imagebin.org/92870 [05:47] greezmunkey: is that your background? [05:47] Dolp: with gparted click on the unallocated area and click on 'new partition' or something like that ... [05:48] bastid_raZor: It's one I made in gimp [05:48] greezmunkey: nice [05:48] bastid_raZor: thanks. [05:49] how can i run flash player from the command line? [05:49] I have the Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2. When the 10.04 for-real version comes out, will I be able to upgrade within the beta or will I need to download yet another ISO? [05:49] to see a youtube video without a browser and see any errors [05:49] Hello all. I read that to get my usb tv tuner card to work (myGica u6012a) i need to use this au0802 module http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/teledongle/ however it is 16months old and arch wont compile it and it throws many different errors. The problem is I cant see my device in /dev/dvb or /dev/v4l-dvb. Any help would be great. [05:49] Gadg3t try using Xorg -configure to create xorg.conf in ur home dir and copy it to ur /etc/X11/ [05:50] harej: yes you will [05:50] harej: no more iso's.. apt-get will keep you upto date all the way to the final [05:50] for other lucid question better try #ubuntu+1 ;) [05:51] How do I share folders from my external hard drive over the network from one ubuntu machine to another? I've set the folder sharing options to allow sharing, writing, and guest access, but it doesn't show up in my laptop. [05:51] bastid_raZor: that's awesome. that's what i love about linux. thank you [05:51] infid: You mean you save an .flv from your hard drive and you want to play it? Use vlc or mplayer. There's no way to stream flash using the flash player outside the browser. It's a plugin, not an executable. [05:51] harej: good luck with the beta. [05:52] Is there a difference between a shared folder on the main drive and one from a mounted drive? [05:52] I can access shared folders from Win / Mac on the main drive, but the mounted (internal sata) folders are visible but "not found" in both win and mac. [05:52] how to integrate xampp with eclipse [05:53] I don't know where acovrig went, and I have to go. He should only have to solve his java, and db access issues to get openfire working. pretty easy if I can do it. good night all. [05:53] Monona: you could go to Places > Connect to Server then Service type: SSH .. fill in the proper credentials and have it as a bookmark in your Places menu. [05:53] dj_segfault: totem player is able to stream youtube isnt it [05:53] ? ok, goodnight too [05:54] infid: Dunno. Never tried. Don't use totem. I like command line, so I just run mplayer directly. [05:54] Aciid: there you are, how far did you get? [05:54] yikes! [05:54] ;p [05:54] no problem [05:54] dj_segfault: so if i download the flv of the files i should be able to get passed the sound issue since i wont have to rely on flash player? [05:55] acovrig: how far did you get? [05:56] infid: Absolutely. I use the DownloadHelper plugin to download flash videos. It can even convert them to .mpg for you. But mplayer and its ilk can play flvs straight too. Even if flash is freezing and not playing sound, mplayer will work. [05:56] dj_segfault: ok thanks, and is that plugin for firefox or chrome or both [05:57] selig5 i just made a 70GB partion, does this look right http://img192.imageshack.us/i/lllkt.png/ [05:57] does anyone know how to get ubuntu to autodected the monitor settings? [05:57] ok peeps I did the computer janitor, but every time I'm on youtube my videos start to lag. can anyone help me? [05:57] Firefox. I haven't found a plugin for Chrome that does that for most any site. Some for Youtube specifically though. [05:58] anyone know how to change ubuntu to boot to a command line instead of gdm or X ? [05:58] skrite, are you using Karmic? [05:58] skrite: sudo apt-get purge gdm && sudo apt-get install xinit xorg [05:58] bastid_raZor: What will the Server be in Places>Connect? [05:58] skrite, don't remove gdm! [05:59] skrite: you can still start your GUI with: startx after you login at the CLI [05:59] can someone assist me with downgrading bios. should i use flashrom ? i haven't done that on intel before using ubuntu or linux [05:59] swoody: that is a horrible idea. [05:59] bastid_raZor, +1 [05:59] Monona: the IP of your other box [05:59] bastid_raZor: why do you say that? [05:59] Hello every body can any body can tell me from where can I got some news for ubuntu 10.04 [05:59] swoody: you would remove gdm just to boot to command line? [06:00] is there anyway to stop the lag on youtube? [06:00] any help would be of great help [06:00] Untitled_only: ? [06:00] i just made a 70GB partion, using gparted does this look right? http://img192.imageshack.us/i/lllkt.png/ [06:00] bastid_raZor: if the goal is to permemantly remove gdm so you can always boot to CLI then yes [06:00] harro harro [06:00] ranjan: #ubuntu+1 or .. let me get the link [06:01] on chrome? [06:01] ranjan: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [06:01] I'm try to burn an iso to a usb device and when i'm using usb-creator it says that my usb only has 657 MB of free space but that its capacity is 1GB [06:01] I just installed 10.0.4 beta2 and wicd is giving me a bad password error when trying to connect to my wireless network [06:01] how can I format the partition before burning the iso? [06:01] swoody: removing gdm is not the answer. not starting it is. [06:01] Flomaster, Lucid/10.04 Support in #ubuntu+1 [06:01] zykes-, thanks will go there [06:02] bastid_raZor: Basic question, I'm sure, but how do I find my IP address? [06:02] I think I've actually been able to reformat a differnet usb device before burning the iso before...so i'm confused why i can' find the option - anyone know where it is in usb-creator? [06:02] i just made a 70GB partion, using gparted does this look right? http://img192.imageshack.us/i/lllkt.png/ [06:02] Monona: ifconfig [06:02] bastid_raZor: what will removing gdm harm? [06:02] swoody, you can simply disable GDM without removing it [06:02] swoody: if you're asking that... then it is above your comprehension. [06:02] ZykoticK9, cool thanks [06:02] swoody, you too, thanks [06:03] dj_segfault: I want the one that starts 192.168..., right? [06:03] skrite, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/boot-to-console---disable-graphical-login-gdm if you are using Karmic [06:03] bastid_raZor: very nice, friendly answer. thanks :) [06:03] mcnellis: Burning the ISO image to the thumb drive should overwrite anything on it. Are you sure you're not trying to copy the .iso file to the thumbdrive instead of burning the image onto it? [06:03] Monona: on the box you want to connect to type ifconfig | grep -i inet ..it will be inet addr: [06:03] Monona: 192.168... will be your intranet. [06:03] swoody: very destructive answer you gave. [06:04] I'm using usb-creator dj_segfault I located the iso to burn but then under "USB disk to use" it lists my usb device but it lists /dev/sdb1 I don't know why it wouldn't just use /dev/sdb and ask to format it.. [06:04] it then reports the capacity of the device but then says only 657 MB are free [06:05] I can "open" an alternative path to use though [06:05] mcnellis: Does /dev/sdb1 take up the whole thumbdrive? [06:05] mcnellis: if /dev/sdb1 is already formatted.. you'll need to let usb-creator format it and create a fat32 partition. just hit the format button and let it do its thing [06:06] When I try to connect with SSH, I get error message: "Can't display location. Connection refused by server." [06:06] bastid_raZor: this one is fun, insert your interface: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}' [06:06] bah nvm my bad this install has an old version of usb-creator [06:07] Monona: When you try to connect to what with ssh? [06:07] Dolp: was away for a minute... That looks good. [06:08] selig5 okay, I wanna install slackware on it, does that mean i gotta make the 70gb portion a swap partion? === ce_se_tia is now known as ce_kuul [06:08] Monona: You only mentioned one computer. If you're trying to ssh from machine A to machine B make sure sshd is running on machine B and that ssh is allowed by its firewall. [06:08] dj_segfault: I'm trying to access my external hard drive from my desktop over the network. Ubuntu on both ends. [06:09] Dolp: I don't think you ever need a swap partition that big. [06:09] Monona: Do you know ssh is running? [06:09] Monona: Sorry. sshd [06:09] does anyone know how to increase your ram size if possible? [06:10] Untitled_only: do you have an actual Ubuntu related issue? [06:10] Dolp, don't create a 70GB swap partition - that would be a HUGE waste of disk space [06:10] yes [06:10] Untitled_only: are you trying to put more RAM into your computer, or do you want to cut down how much Ubuntu uses? [06:11] Untitled_only, to increase RAM you need to buy more RAM - increasing swap is NOT going to speed up Youtube videos [06:11] ZykoticK9 I'm putting slackware on the 70GB partion, I just wanna know am i set? or do i need to add something more? [06:11] Dolp: You already have a swap partition. [06:11] dj_segfault: Nope. Don't even know what sshd is, so it's probably not running. Is there a better way to set up shared files? Mostly music on my external hard drive. [06:11] kk [06:11] Monona: install openssh-server on the box that has the music.. you should be able to connect then. [06:11] Dolp, i'm sure Slackware will go onto a 70GB partition (i was worried by what you originally typed that you where going to make it a swap partition) [06:11] so what will? === bluefox is now known as bluefox83 [06:12] Untitled_only, actually if you're getting choppy YouTube the most likely causes are A) Slow Internet and B) Video Card [06:13] Untitled_only: higher bandwidth, lower system requirements (lxde, openbox, etc.), faster processor/GPU... [06:13] Untitled_only: have you tried diasbling compiz? [06:13] yea i did [06:13] Untitled_only: go to System>Prefs>Appearance, and set Visual Effects to 'none' [06:13] ah, gotcha [06:13] it is [06:14] yeah, then you can either try to make Ubuntu use less, or buy more ;) [06:14] how do I make ubuntu use less [06:14] Monona: sshd is the server side of ssh that you connect to. If you're trying to get from your work computer to your home computer, you'll never be able to do it connecting to a 192.168 address. Like I said that's an intranet address and can't work over the internet. You have to find out what the IP address is of your router/cablemodem/etc is, and it needs to be configured to forward ssh requests to your computer. Bu === akuma_ is now known as akuma2020 [06:15] bastid_raZor: OK, installed that. How do I get it up and running? [06:15] Monona: once installed it is up and running [06:15] Untitled_only: well, if it's your graphics card that's making Ubuntu slow and choppy, there's not a whole lot you can do. If you're running low on RAM and/or maxxing out your CPU, you can try a lighter distro to free up more resources for flash - lxde, openbox, lighter apps, etc. [06:15] dj_segfault: Just two computers on my home network. [06:15] whats openbox [06:16] is there anyone familiar with multitouch problems, particularily tied to the tx2z... i've gotten hella far but i've been working on this for months. [06:16] Untitled_only: it's a very minimal window manager, probably not something newer users would enjoy a whole lot ;) [06:16] Untitled_only: but I would recommend trying out lxde, as it's based on openbox, and has a nice GUI [06:17] Monona: Oh, you said you were trying to do this from work I thought. Both computers on the same intranet? Check out ampache or musica. Or you can do it over Samba shares. [06:18] ooh.. I really don't want to uninstall ubuntu. do you think it could be my 10.04 [06:18] swoody, actually the memory usage difference between Gnome and LXDE/XFCE aren't really all that great, see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 KDE uses a lot more memory [06:18] I'm using xfce4 [06:19] hello Every body can help me in figuring out any appropriate answer with Ubuntu Moblin Remix does it'll too be an LTS product .. for this new upcoming 10.4 or not . [06:19] Sorry Monona, gotta go to sleep. Up in 6 hours. [06:19] ranjan: now moblin is meego, no idea [06:19] meego = moblin + maemo i believe [06:20] dj_segfault, bastid_raZor: Thanks! I think it's working now. [06:20] Monona: What did you do to get it working? [06:20] I think I found out the problem, I was running cairo-dock and had the slider going I just turned it off and the video stopped lagging [06:20] Monona: nice, enjoy your music [06:21] dj_segfault: Installed sshd, and connected to the server from Places menu. [06:21] Monona: you can add a bookmark to be listed under Places. makes it easier in the future when connecting to the box [06:23] d [06:23] xangua :: thanks for your help [06:23] hello? [06:23] !hi | emad [06:23] emad: 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! [06:23] yes [06:24] hi xuangua [06:24] Yo yo yo [06:24] bastid_raZor: Yeah, I checked that box. I'm trying to load the hard drive in rhythmbox now. Are there any additional security concerns I should be aware of when I'm running this? [06:25] Monona: no. rhythmbox takes a bit of time to load my music.. but then again i have 18days worth of music to be loaded. [06:25] harro harro [06:25] Monona: everything is running on your internal network. all is safe. [06:25] anyway to use GRUB and have it default to Win7 instead of Ubuntu? [06:25] ZykoticK9: that's very true on higher-end systems, but with low systems - say with 512 MB RAM - lxde uses 90MB less RAM, that's about an 18% decrease in memory useage... that can mean a lot to a system. [06:26] (figures from the link) [06:26] swoody, that's true! [06:26] Flomaster: edit /etc/default/grub [06:26] that's where the lighter DE's really make a difference [06:26] Monona: all that for sharing? [06:26] bastid_raZor: I hear that. 45 days worth over here. [06:27] Swoody: I always use a light de, more ram for disk cache and apps === emad is now known as loev [06:27] mkquist: I guess so... Although I'm open to other suggestions. [06:27] just share the folder? [06:27] Monona: one downside i've seen in rhythmbox is on every reconnect it has to resync the music. [06:27] ActionParsnip: thanks my wife is going to be happy now, I just installed on our laptop and I know she would freak in the morning if it didn't boot into Win7 ahha [06:27] Monona: just share the folder? [06:27] ActionParsnip: I do, too :) And there's no denying that they boot faster and load apps quicker === loev is now known as eco9527 [06:28] my virtual terminals (ttys) are falling off the screen, I can only see the top 4 lines at the bottom of the screen. How can I get them back? [06:28] Monona: terminal - type shares-admin - should do it too [06:28] Swoody: lxde + openbox here, slick as a really slick slicker [06:28] ActionParsnip: have you seen/tried out the new lubuntu-destop in Lucid? :o [06:29] Swoody: I'm part of the project (in ideas and discussion etc). Check the project page on launchpad and you'll see my ugly mug [06:29] ActionParsnip: very nice :) [06:31] swoody, his mug??? no it's horrible [06:31] ActionParsnip: one decision I don't agree with - Chromium as default browser. I have always found it to use less memory, but more CPU on my machines :/ [06:31] Out_Cold: lol [06:31] mkquist: Ok. Set that. Now how do I access it? [06:31] can someone assist me with downgrading bios. should i use flashrom ? i haven't done that on intel before using ubuntu or linux [06:31] ActionParsnip: I would have gone with midori if the aim is for a lighter browser [06:31] whats the command to show my computers IP? [06:32] bastid_raZor: doesn't seem to be loading the music in rhythmbox. Maybe I'll try amarok and see... [06:32] allowoverride, i don't think flashing bios has anything to do with using linux or windows [06:32] Meway: ifconfig [06:32] Meway: ifconfig [06:32] ah i cant beleave i forgot that [06:32] thanks [06:32] Swoody: it was benchmarked for startup time, ram use and some speed tests and chromium was great (although I was shooting for arora but chromium is an awesome browser) [06:32] Out_Cold: i believe thats not what i asked [06:32] maybe this is not the correct place to get that help allowoverride [06:33] this is a an ubuntu laptop, so im in the right place [06:33] Monona: set rhythmbox to scan the remote folder for new music .. this is where the bookmark comes in handy [06:33] i need to prepare the usb so forth, what program to use... xangua your not helping [06:33] netsplit [06:34] worst I've seen in a while [06:34] what's a net split? [06:34] never seen this before [06:34] !netsplit | TvL [06:34] TvL: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [06:35] hateball, I see! thanks [06:35] allowoverride: A netsplit is when one of the IRC servers disconnects from the others, so everyone connected to that server gets split off from the rest of us [06:35] Allowoverride: there will be a way even if it involves installing dos to the stick and doing it there but it can be done. Some company's may give an image you can put on the stick. It all depends [06:36] haha here it goes again [06:36] coolio [06:37] time to get out yer boards and surf the wild waves of a net split... === loveyosmile is now known as eco9527 === homer is now known as Guest36660 [06:37] * iflema :) [06:37] * Out_Cold waits for the day that he gets op'd afte ra netsplit [06:37] i guess a better question is, whats that supposed to do?

[07:22] any one answer to start MYSQL in ubuntu [07:22] well it was working 2 days ago it just ended up this way.

[08:00] ardchoille, I didn't say it deleted my data [08:00] ardchoille: Well in your case double would be 8gb =/ however decrease to 2gb as I never use all 4gb of my ram at any given time. [08:00] dogdogdog: Yes you did... [08:00] can anyone tell me why different themes crash and completely ruin my system so that I lose all my data and have to reinstall the whole OS?

[09:31] ikonia: mdadm --assemble /dev/sdd3 /dev/....

[09:33] hi friends, i need windows live writer like package for ubuntu [09:33] b__: yeah, he/she can't even boot [09:33] shure first md0 then the drives i think?

I got two identical disks (sda and sdb). I configured sofware raid1, md0 for root and md1 for swap. [09:34] but where should I install grub? [09:34] ikonia, when i clicked remove in synaptic why is it downloading more packages? [09:34] b__: it's not [09:34] /dev/md0 or on /dev/sdb and /dev/sda boot sectors? [09:34] eni23: look at mdadm --build /dev/md0 --level=5 /dev/disks [09:35] eni23: the option you want is build, not assemble [09:35] ikonia, i right clicked marked for remove and clicked apply.. n now it is dl [09:35] ikonia: oh no i not want to build [09:35] i want to reassemble the old one [09:35] eni23: you do - you want to build your legacy array [09:35] eni23: that is what build will do [09:35] sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data <-- this is what I used to get rid of kubuntu, I am wondering though if it is lucid specific??? [09:36] b__: let it do it's thing [09:36] hi. When I do a sudo do-release-upgrade i get Failed upgrade tool signature. How can i fix this? [09:36] ikonia, k [09:36] ikonia: but then all the old data is away... [09:36] b__: unless it has to fix dependencies or reinstal the alternative package for the one you remove (e.g. you can't get rid of exim4 without putting some alternative.) [09:36] eni23: no it's not [09:36] eni23: read the infomation on "--build" [09:37] ikonia, should i type almoxarife 's cli commands in shell after synaptic does its job? [09:37] b__: don't type anything [09:37] b__: let it finish [09:37] tatsel, ikonia almoxarife i hope im removing the right packages... dont wanna end up in cli again [09:38] b__: I assume you already have gnome installed? [09:38] almoxarife, yes [09:38] yep, never force dpkg to quit, you'll break something [09:38] almoxarife, if i get stuck in cli .. how to start gnome.. what command? [09:38] * tatsel did it too often :p [09:39] b__: ughhh [09:39] b__: how many times [09:39] b__: stop trying to do things manually - remove KDE, install the package gdm and reboot - it will all be done for you [09:39] is this the right way to do it? http://www.andrewodendaal.com/sudo-install-opengl-sdl-on-ubuntu/ [09:39] b__: I would reboot to gnome [09:39] ^ [09:39] ikonia, not startx... another command gnome specific.. ikonia i already have gnome by default .. do i need to reinstall it? [09:40] b__: stop trying to know better and listen to the help beign given [09:40] almoxarife, i tried rebooting multiple times.. the cli would load [09:40] maybe what you want is to boot gdm [09:40] b__: let kde finish removing, then install the package "gdm" - then reboot [09:40] ikonia: your right. but build is not possible too. look at my fdisk output: http://pastebin.com/UCqM8gXK this looks fine. mdadm says: /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3 and /dev/sdb3 are no valid devices [09:40] b__: just do what ikonia is telling you to do, don't read anything more into it. [09:40] ikonia, i was stuck in cli .. n i didnt know how to start gnome.. so only option i had was to install kubuntu-desktop [09:41] only /dev/sda1 seems existing [09:41] b__: follow ikonia, you don't have a working gnome, my recommendation [09:41] b__: wow.. [09:41] b__: I've told you what to do - please just do it [09:42] How can I copy a file having root file permissions using scp in a LAN from one computer to another where both have not been given root passwords? [09:42] eni23: so what's the actual error it's giving you ? [09:42] bullgard: the easiest way is to change the permissions, the sudo option is quite messy for that [09:42] ikonia, so would appreciate it if any1 could tell me the command to start gnome... prevention is better than cure in case im stuck in the cli again on rebooting.. the cli is a newbies nervous breakdown n worst nightmare.. the black screen of death...it scaries me [09:43] b__: I've told you what to do - please just do it [09:43] b__: let kde remove, then install the package "gdm" - then reboot, it's all done for you [09:43] ikonia: Thank you for your advice. [09:43] bullgard: it's quite a scrappy situation [09:43] ikonia, i removed some packages of kde.. should i remove python-kde4?

[11:45] hi all [11:46] hi, i removed some default apps from my 9.10 installation, when 10.04 comes out and i want to update, will they get installed again? [11:46] lalalol, which apps did you uninstall? [11:47] coz_, openoffice, rhytmbox, and some others [11:47] lalalol, I am going to guess they will not reinstall if you uninstalled gimp for example...gimp no longer comes default with ubuntu at least in lucid [11:48] lets take empathy as example, it came with 9.10 and will come with 10.04, i removed it, will 10.04 install it back when i update? [11:48] coz_, i dunno, it might install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage before the upgrade. I don't know the order it goes in. [11:49] elky, with an upgrade maybe [11:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1453313 Could someone have a look at my problem? [11:49] lalalol, I am guessing it will not ...although I have never experimented with that... but if it does of course you can uninstall again [11:49] k coz_ [11:49] lalalol, is there a reason you are concerned about this? [11:50] hey guys. i can't see the partition on the memory stick in my phone which is connected through usb. couple of weeks ago it worked. any clue as where to start? the memorystick works in windows :S [11:50] lalalol, or was this just a question that came up for you? [11:51] coz_, yeah because i plan to sell pc's with ubuntu on it, and customers wouldnt like it when they need to remove the apps again, and they'd blame me [11:51] lalalol, ah i see [11:51] lalalol, mmm I do similar things here with clients...however i always leave default install on their systems... mainly to get them used to the default applications especially if they need office [11:52] lalalol, then you'll want a custom script to run after the upgrade and remove them all [11:52] thx coz_ and elky [11:52] lalalol, what you might want to do is edit the live cd to install only waht you want or use ubuntu minimal and go from there [11:52] how do i run a php script in a web browser....this is what the readme of plogger is telling me to do but when i open the hp file with firefox all it is saying is to open or save file....i open again with firefox and nothing happens [11:53] lalalol, rather create a live cd with what you choose to install [11:53] can someone help me find PyTube? [11:53] coz_, it's more like i explain ppl how ubuntu works, and if they want to remove empathy for example, they can remove it, once :) [11:53] Jimi_Neutral, it sounds like you have to set up your apache server (or whatever you are using for your HTTP server) to parse the PHP. [11:53] lalalol, understood... [11:53] knoppies, eh? lol [11:54] Booh [11:54] DryGrain: If you just want to format you drive (*with* loss of data) you just have to type "mkfs.ext3 DEVICE" [11:54] knoppies, it is apache [11:54] Jimi_Neutral: when was the last u used apache? [11:54] time^ [11:54] DryGrain: Of course you have to replace DEVICE with e.g. /dev/sdb2, or whatever is the drive you want to format [11:54] geekphre1k, i just install it all for my boss as and wehn he asks and then he plays about with it...i have no idea what it is, does or how to use it...yes i am a gofer here [11:54] and device is /dev/sdb1 (or whatever it happens to be?) [11:55] Jimi_Neutral, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [11:55] aha [11:55] lol :) [11:55] geekphre1k, i spent 5 years training to be come a windows technician and ended up doing nothing to do with windows [11:55] thanks kindly [11:55] DryGrain: Yes. But if you want to do it with an gui just install "gparted" [11:55] Jimi_Neutral, Im anti microsoft so I wouldnt say thats a bad thing. [11:55] knoppies, yes I have installed LAMP [11:56] DryGrain: then you don't have to fiddle with the command line [11:56] Jimi_Neutral: i remember you :) [11:56] lalalol, although the other approach, , since most of the applications have a small footprint...is to go into alacarte and simply remove menu entries so they dont show up [11:56] me too but it is what i trained in and im good at it [11:56] Is that any easier than one line in terminal? [11:56] geekphre1k, yeah, im that one lol [11:56] Jimi_Neutral, scroll down that tut for the "troubleshoot" part [11:56] hello. are install instructions at ie4linux valid for karmic? [11:56] :) [11:56] lalalol, this way they are avaialable for your clients at a later date [11:56] Jimi_Neutral: i met u in #window, helped you with dos ;) [11:56] I happen to like the command line :) [11:56] geekphre1k, what was it? [11:56] DryGrain: If it works with the command line, why not use it [11:57] :) [11:57] I'll give it a shot [11:57] Jimi_Neutral: think it was some issue with user mangment, you were trying to config mp3 player or something [11:57] If you want you can use mkfs.ext4, then you also have the shiny new ext4 istead of ext3 (If you ubuntu version is new enough) [11:57] geekphre1k, no that wasnt me [11:57] Why do you think it was inaccesible in the first place? [11:58] nice idea coz_ ^^ [11:58] Also, what command tells me the /dev/sda path for each drive? [11:58] Is 9.10 new enough :) [11:59] lalalol, that is actually a better approach for you the administrator.... dont screw with default install just limit access to certain things for the clients until they become acustomed to Linux /Ubuntu [11:59] DryGrain: I'm no professional in this area, so I've unfortunately no idea. Yeah, 9.10 is new enough [11:59] knoppies, thats not really making much sense to a newb like me im afraid, ty for trying tho [11:59] yeah, nice [11:59] Ok [11:59] What are the advantages of ext4 over ext3? [12:00] DryGrain: If it's not just the filesystem that is corrupted but also the partition itself, then this oneliner might not suffice [12:00] DryGrain, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1133719 [12:00] Well let me give it a shot and see what happens [12:01] Thanks coz_ [12:01] DryGrain, http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Linus-Torvalds-Upset-over-Ext3-and-Ext4 << for the other side ") [12:01] Jimi_Neutral, do you want me to try and explain? === Votan|off is now known as Votan [12:01] DryGrain: ext4 has a lot of improvements, but what's most important for me ist that file-system checks are *much* more fater than with ext3 [12:01] Ah [12:02] knoppies, yeah sure....to be honest knoppies I dont really want to learn any of this, im just doing what im told using an O/S I have no idea about. I dont have time to read manuals and stuff, if it isnt done asap then i get moaned at. [12:02] Wikipedia summes it up quite well^^ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [12:02] Okay [12:02] Jimi_Neutral, have a look at this (this time I scrolled it down for you): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20PHP%205 [12:02] I'm going to use mkfs.ext4 [12:03] Jimi_Neutral, I assume its asking for you to download the .php files, rather than displaying them like it should?? [12:03] DryGrain: Good luck. And if it won't work, then just try gParted :) [12:03] knoppies, yuppers [12:03] Jimi_Neutral, that link will tell you how to fix it. [12:03] Jimi_Neutral, should take 4 CLI commands. [12:04] it says "/dev/sdb1 is mounted, will not make a filesystm there" [12:04] tried it with sudo too [12:04] knoppies, rgr, on it now [12:04] hmm [12:04] wait [12:04] now it opens in nautilus just fine [12:04] what in the world [12:04] all my data is there === NightKhaos|Alt is now known as NightKhaos [12:05] DryGrain, when mounting filesystems, sometimes nautilus takes a second before it can read the data, so it says failed to mount, but then on the second attempt it works. [12:05] <^b0ss^> Question : i have ubuntu how do i add adobe flash player ? === om26er_ is now known as om26er [12:06] hi [12:06] <^b0ss^> libflashplayer.so i have download that file ....

Enjoy your stay! [12:06] is it possible that when I have a disk which used to hold (soft) raid partitions, but I deleted all of them using fdisk, ubuntu still detects the raid partitions and automatically sets up md0? [12:07] DryGrain: Ok, then you don't have to reformat^^ But just the you know it, if it says "/dev/sdb1 is mounted, will not make a filesystm there" you have to unmount it at first with "umount DIRECTORY" where DIRECTORY is the directory where /dev/sdb1 is mounted [12:07] hello everybody...

Which one do you use? [12:09] SmokeyD, OK I'll try that and tell you after... thanks :) [12:09] Gateway`, see http://www.openprinting.org/printers to check if your printer is supported [12:09] writing inode tables... [12:09] knoppies, well so far it was installed and enabled and has made no difference, doing an update just in case [12:09] SmokeyD, ok thanks alot [12:09] <^b0ss^> ok thanks [12:09] Gateway`, sorry you need System->Administration->Printing [12:09] <^b0ss^> will do [12:09] SmokeyD, yes I'm on it ;) [12:09] Jimi_Neutral, k.

[12:13] yes [12:13] ^b0ss^: sigh. apt-get install flashplugin-installer should do it. Unless that installs a different flash. :P [12:13] ^b0ss^: yes, copy the file to that folder and as long as the architecture of the plugin is ok for your system, it will be used [12:13] <^b0ss^> sorry sooo new to it [12:14] BANSHE3: how did it go :) [12:15] Nightkhaos: or s/he wants 64bit flash ;) [12:15] ActionParsnip: *blinks* I'm pretty sure I'm running 64bit Ubuntu. [12:16] Nightkhaos: the package will give 32bit flash + nspluginwrapper [12:16] BANSHE3: ? === OerHeks is now known as Oer [12:17] ActionParsnip: name me one flash process that actually uses 4GB of RAM and I will agree that it is a legimate reason to install the plugin manually. Until then, I'd wait until apt includes 64bit flash. :P I also think ^b0ss^ just wanted to get flash running. [12:18] <^b0ss^> all i wanted was to get flash running [12:18] <^b0ss^> lol ..still trying [12:18] ActionParsnip: point, ^b0ss^ execute apt-get install flashplugin-installer then. [12:18] Nightkhaos: it won't but the 64bit plugins run without the need for an abstraction layer so run slicker, its not about ram use and if it did the nspluginwrapper is 64bit so will be handled [12:19] <^b0ss^> i did [12:19] <^b0ss^> it said denied [12:19] Nightkhaos: less complication = smoother ride [12:19] knoppies, nope, all that was installed fine but it is still not running the script [12:19] ^b0ss^: as root, i.e. sudo? [12:19] ActionParsnip: oh yes, you're so smart. [12:19] <^b0ss^> oh [12:19] * NightKhaos hands ActionParsnip a cookie. [12:20] Jimi_Neutral, I assume you are trying to access the file using localhost (or the IP/name of the server) and not just opening the .php file in your browser? [12:20] <^b0ss^> thank you that worked :) [12:20] how do i copy the contents of one folder to another with bash? cp /media/source /media/destination ?? [12:20] or is it mv? === choonming_ is now known as choonming [12:20] <^b0ss^> thanks so much NK [12:21] DryGrain: mv is to move. cp is to copy. [12:21] knoppies, never assume lol....yes I am trying to do that cause that what it says in the readme....."Run the install script _install.php in the web browser of your choice" [12:21] aha [12:21] thanks [12:21] knoppies, i am actually working with the server....im not remoting into it [12:21] also, now that I formatted this drive to ext4, it's name and mount point is a lost string of letters and numbers, how do i set it to somethink legible? [12:22] Hi - I am unable to pair my Ubuntu 9.1 with a Win Mob Phone. Bluetooth service is running, Win Mob device can see my machines BT device but Ubuntu is not popping up message to pair. I have tried installing Blueman but same issues. -PS my Linux exp is very new === cwe_moetz is now known as ce_nies [12:22] BANSHE3: :) [12:22] drygrain: if you ran the command with cp you typed you would get a /media/destination/source [12:23] Exup: pair from ubuntu [12:23] oh [12:23] Jimi_Neutral, Im not sure what install script you are reffering to. To access a php file you have to do it through the apache webserver. You do this by placing the .php file inside the www folder you have setup (I cant remember what the default folder is, but its something like /var/www/) and then accessing it by typing localhost into your browser. If you are not on the same machine as the webserver, then you must type in the IP/host [12:23] name of your server. [12:23] geekphre1k: :) Still no luck man, I figured all the files out but they're in the wrong locations making following the tut very confusing, that and the tut itself is poorly written [12:23] knoppies: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:23] how do i do it correctly ActionParsnip [12:23] ActionParsnip - have tired that it never sees my BT phone [12:23] Jimi_Neutral, I dont mean to offend you, but your answer was vague. [12:24] BANSHE3: you just want a gui based remote right? [12:24] i want to contents of /source copied to the /dest folder [12:24] geekphre1k: yeah but I also want to run the server on this comp [12:24] knoppies, its the plooger install script. Do all the plogger files have to be in root of /www cause i have put them in a folder within /www [12:24] do i throw a -t argument in there? [12:24] %{ [12:25] Moat: any luck? [12:25] i have several PCs in my LAN net work , and im running ubuntu 9.04 , could i remote their PCs and how ? [12:25] BANSHE3: other options there too [12:25] Jimi_Neutral, as long as its inside www it doesnt matter what folder its in. but then you need to browse to it using localhost/path/to/file.php [12:25] Drygrain: i'd try: cd /media/destination; cp -a /media/source/* . [12:25] knoppies, ahhhh ok, brb [12:25] Drygrain: make a test folder or 2 to test === christian is now known as Guest27869 [12:26] giving it a shot now [12:26] DryGrain: If you want to rename the drive: "tune2fs -L NEWNAME DEVICE" of course you have to replace NEWNAME and DEVICE with the corresponding values [12:26] Hi, I'm having some issues with aptitude and wondered if anyone had any ideas, have tried force remove etc, but no luck ... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/53CqcafG [12:26] its a few hundred gigs of data to copy [12:27] Drygrain: once you get it nailed on the test data you can go primetime [12:27] The machine was crashing before and fell over during an upgrade [12:28] well i think its working [12:28] it hasnt returned a prompt yet [12:28] but theres no output either [12:28] knoppies, ok browsed to it with firefox, there was the link for it to execute it along with all the other files, did that and it STILL is trying to open it with a program [12:29] Elyob: jump into /var/cache/apt and force install the deb is one possibility [12:29] hey [12:29] is there a way to convert png to eps [12:30] Drygrain: cp doesn't output stuff. If you open another prompt etc you can check the files in the dest [12:30] Jimi_Neutral, you said earlier that you had libapache2-mod-php5 installed, am I correct? [12:30] knoppies, that is correct [12:30] :) [12:30] Jimi_Neutral, did you try: sudo a2enmod php5 [12:30] yup [12:31] knoppies, yup [12:31] hmm [12:31] theres no files popping up in the dest folder [12:31] D: [12:31] Jimi_Neutral, and then you restarted the server with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [12:31] knoppies, yup yup [12:31] Jimi_Neutral, ok, Lets try something else. Im going to pastebin a php file. give me a sec [12:32] Drygrain: then stop the cp. Could ask in #bash too [12:32] knoppies, rgr [12:32] hello [12:32] anyone use a2ps [12:32] i installed vncserver, but it is not opening it on lan [12:32] Riverillica123: can you ping the server?

[12:35] knoppies, create it? [12:35] ya it is running, in localhost i can open it using vncclient [12:36] Jimi_Neutral, create a file named phpinfo.php inside your www folder. Then paste that into it. Save and browse to it using localhost/phpinfo.php [12:36] * ayam_jago need camfrog client for my ubuntu lol [12:37] knoppies, yeah that gives me the phpversion and everything [12:38] Jimi_Neutral, hmm, then php should be working, Im not sure why your install script isnt running. [12:38] maybe the permission [12:38] set it to 777 [12:38] knoppies, would it be something to do with the database and user i tried to create [12:38] got disconnected for a while [12:39] knoppies, i just went and added a user and it gave me the option of creating a database at the same time so I did that [12:39] can u please send the suggestions [12:39] knoppies, or should it run it anyway [12:39] ciao [12:39] !list [12:39] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [12:39] Jimi_Neutral, that phpinfo script is awsome for debugging purposes, but can be a vulnerability issue if your server is open to the internet and a hacker stumbles across it. Im not sure about creating users and databases, that should not really affect the PHP, it depends how that script is set up though. [12:39] !bot [12:39] Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins [12:41] hi how can i get my cpu temp in a shell?

[12:42] knoppies, i am almost there....i took all the files out of the folder i made and put the directly into /www...i then browsed to it and it worked i am on the plogger install page [12:43] Jimi_Neutral, awesome. I can see you are getting a hang of this. [12:43] <^b0ss^> hey thanks channel amsn is heaps better [12:43] and may i ask about a memtest i can run whilst i have system mounted and running, cant read the one in grub menu [12:43] knoppies, but now it is saying the following probs need to be resolved before plogger will install.....the path /var/www/plog_contant/images is not the writable by the server and the same goes for /thumbs [12:44] Can somebody suggest a good VPN other then OpenVPN please? [12:45] Jimi_Neutral, they should (in theory) work from within another folder within your www folder. That could be file permissions of the files/folders themselves. I think you need to chmod the www folder to allow write access to 'other' recursively. This could (in theory) be a security risk if your server is open to the public. [12:45] Jimi_Neutral, do you understand how to chmod, or should I run you through it? [12:45] i dont, no. It would be cool if you could but if u are tired mate I dont want to take the pi** [12:46] <^b0ss^> Question : hey all my webcam works on a flash chat with my freinds but not with amsn ....anyone know why [12:46] Can somebody suggest a good VPN other then OpenVPN please? [12:46] Jimi_Neutral, Its quick and easy, wont take us long. [12:46] <^b0ss^> what a sec [12:46] <^b0ss^> it might be working [12:46] knoppies, ok, as long as it wont affect my access to any of it. [12:46] Jimi_Neutral, in a shell prompt, cd to your www directory. [12:47] sorry can you repeat that i cant read the channel when it goes fast [12:47] Jimi_Neutral, no it shouldnt, I hope it doesnt break anything though, since its in /var/ I normally create a www folder inside my home directory and then use that. [12:47] knoppies, ok im in www [12:48] Jimi_Neutral, chmod is used to change permissions of files/folders. you can read more about it by typing into a terminal (you dont have to do that now, I will explain what you need to do now): man chmod [12:48] knoppies [12:49] Jimi_Neutral, type this: chmod -R o+w . [12:49] Fudge, yes? [12:49] oh memtester think found one, nvm [12:49] knoppies, ok done tht [12:50] Jimi_Neutral, then try your script again, that command above changes the file/folder permissions of everything inside the folder you are in (in this case www) by adding write permissions to everyone. you can read more about it by using: man chmod [12:50] hi, I cloned an xp image from my old hard drive using clonezilla [12:51] however, it won't boot since grub somehow got wiped out [12:51] has anyone worked through this problem before? [12:51] awesome_guest, not personally, but from what I see, shouldnt you just be able to reinstall grub and then make an appropriate menu.lst? [12:52] I mean, I'm doing this from a livecd [12:52] hi [12:52] I don't have an ubuntu install [12:52] i have a problem to post on launchpad [12:52] so the standard instructions may not work [12:53] launchpad want have "referer header" ??

[12:54] knoppies, ok did those permissions and moved everyhting back into a folder and then tried it as before and now it works :) [12:54] Jimi_Neutral, awesome. Glad I could help. Im off to bed.

[13:14] or drives [13:14] ^b0ss^:yes it does [13:15] Merwin: basically, I can see two possibilities (which you'll have to research more). Either some configuration with gnome-volume-manager or with hal fdi files. You can find the default fdi files (the ones that look relevant at least) in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ (for example 15-storage-luks.fdi) is there. Anyway, read the documentation and explore that tree a bit more from [13:15] /usr/share/hal/fdi/. If you do figure out what you want to change, you should NOT edit these files. Create your own fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/ so that it overrides the ones in /usr/share [13:15] <^b0ss^> yea ..thats awesome [13:15] <^b0ss^> just installed it [13:15] <^b0ss^> lol [13:15] keyvan: ok kool [13:15] ^b0ss^: what did you go with?

And what are LC_ALL and C supposed to stand for? Especially that C is cryptic.. I meant all this by semantics, sorry [16:38] Des804: that can make it harder then. [16:38] the thing isnt even turning on ( Turns blue if its on red if it isnt ) [16:38] subichan: its for 'language' aware appliocations.

[16:39] peturi: you cant soz [16:39] system -> admin -> somthing drivers or hardware [16:39] theres a hardware Drivers tool in Ubuntu that will show me what i need ?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:48] use su - deostroll [16:48] kbrosnan , ok...

[16:49] ashi: because ubuntu has the whole security model based around sudo [16:49] Des804: be clear and verbose in your irc statements.. i dont even rember what you were talking about. also use peoples full nicks. (see the tab key) [16:49] ikonia: if he wants to run as root, he has to use that command.. [16:50] ashi: no he doesn't sudo -i or sudo -s will do it for him [16:50] 'sudo su' is redundant and should not be used. :) [16:50] javatexan: sorry, I only run XP in vmware.

[16:51] Dr_Willis: could you elaborate on 'compiz settings' please? i was under the impression this was something you could alter just in the GUI of the program [16:51] Dr_Willis, ok thanks :) [16:51] xaminyin: also the mythbuntu forums are good for tv card info [16:51] sab sudo lsmod [16:52] Dr_Willis: So when the next Ubuntu comes out which I was told is soon do I just install it over the ubuntu I have or will it upgrade it without installing it or how will that exactly work ( Wishing he hadnt installed Ubuntu afterall ) [16:52] Guest65224: it would depend on the program.. and it would normally be a feature of the window manager. Compiz has a lot of fancy settings in the 'ccsm' tool that can force programs to opwn/stay in differnt locations [16:52] what's lucid? [16:52] Losha: I looked on their forums, didn't see anything...Since there is nowhere to search for bugs, I guess I will have to add my own forum question :( [16:52] Des804: you can upgrade. thats a MAIN feature of the package manager system [16:52] !lucid > plouffe [16:52] plouffe, please see my private message [16:53] Also does anyone know if a Full restore will fix my computer if I would uninstall Unbuntu or do I have to have a repair disk [16:53] Des804: what 'full restore' are you talking about? [16:54] Dr_Willis: okay, thanks. i'll Google it and have a go. :) [16:54] Dr_Willis: The one where you press F9 when your computer starts that basically is a Full Image of your factory Defaults. [16:54] Des804: that would totally depend on how the pc makers set it up. [16:54] Dr_Willis: Well its a HP DV4 if that means anything to anyone [16:54] Des804: try it and see is the bottom line.

[17:04] if I connect to my server and move files from one drive to the other, will the server just move them (as thought I'd sshed in and used mv) or will they download to my computer and upload back to the server?

[17:05] bondiblueos9: with windows they make roundtrip =) [17:05] BlubbTec: yea. i noticed that also today. i had to do 'sudo mount /whatever....' theres some seucrity catch 22 that is goofing up [17:06] bondiblueos9: do you need smb (do you have windows machines ect) ? [17:06] Dr_Willis: i guess using sudo in /etc/fstab doesnt do anything really? [17:06] no, I primary use a mac, but I would like windows compatibility [17:06] thing is, i want the partition to be mounted on startup [17:06] would afp not make the roundtrip? [17:06] or do I need to figure out nfs [17:06] bondiblueos9: if u use mac, use nfs [17:07] after typing ----sudo apt-get install amarok---i got this msg-----"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [17:07] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"

[17:08] guys, I have a machine I built that has a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT card. I run Ubuntu Karmic on it. I have been having issues with system freezes, usually about twice a day, that completely freeze the system. Can't ping it, magic sysrq buttons don't work...the only option is to hard reboot it. After disabling compiz, the lockups disappeared completely. Now I'm wondering whether the issue lies with faulty hardware, bad NVIDIA drivers (version 195.36.15), o [17:08] r compiz itself. Any ideas? I really miss having compiz around. :( [17:08] sab: aptitude or ? [17:08] Do I just have to set up a dhcp server? [17:08] removing the user=felix solved it [17:08] sab: since only one app can be using dpkg at the time [17:08] Lazy^, ok, thanks a lot [17:08] Lazy^, i dont know i m novice in linux [17:08] i am back [17:09] sab: can i recommend something?

[17:09] ah, the problem was that i had rw,user,auto,user=felix and had user 2 times in that line [17:09] IceDane: use dnsmasq [17:09] OK [17:09] with only user=felix fixed now [17:09] i m rebooting [17:09] sab goto this site and read http://linuxcommand.org/ [17:09] rob_p: I tried it and used some guide - it didn't want to work, heh [17:10] bondiblueos9: even on nfs, if you move files *between* filesystems, the copy is obliged to download to your client and then back up to the server so better to ssh in and do the move locally. Files moved *within* a filesystem over nfs simply get renamed however... [17:10] IceDane: Strange, Ive never had it fail! :-) [17:10] Is Hybernate Fixed in Ubuntu????????

Hate making reports, but what I can do :) [17:12] I have to restart gdm to solve [17:12] <_silentAssassin> geekphreak, yes [17:12] _silentAssassin: boot into windows, uninstall ubuntu, then reinstall ubuntu again [17:12] bondiblueos9: well, you can always execute mv commands on the server via ssh... [17:12] IceDane: As I recall, there are very few things required in the config file although it has provisions for a lot of customization. [17:13] rob_p: Alright, thanks.

I've read the manpage for apt_preference but I'm still not understanding how I can pin either thunderbird to mozilla-daily or firefox to *not* use the launchpad version. [17:18] it was my brother speak [17:18] really? i'm surprized more people haven't asked that. [17:18] Any pointers? [17:18] how do i automatically mount a hdd at startup without having to manually authenticate everytime i reboot? [17:18] might try #rantradio there are a lot of nerds in there (myself included [17:18] is there a script i can put in the startup manager? [17:18] it would seem to make the process a little more effecient. but, maybe that's just me [17:18] not always geek talk but you might look into it [17:18] karma_police : doc.ubuntu.fr [17:19] good bye === eguest039_ is now known as eguest039 [17:19] Losha, I'm trying to avoid installing anything graphical on the server, since it is old; I guess I'll just use ssh for now [17:19] how do I reinstall a package? [17:19] I wonder what the negative aspect of having the make script search for installed compents would be. [17:19] on another note, can anyone tell me how to tell used/free/total space on a tape in a tape drive? [17:19] there has to be some reason they haven't implemented it [17:20] PyroPhelia, actually no, the kernel don't take care only about hardware === vcs is now known as Motd [17:20] acovrig: sudo apt-get remove -purge && sudo apt-get install [17:20] PyroPhelia: lots of folks like to throw in modules for devices they don't yet have. people who care enough to build their own kernels take the time to do it right. [17:20] acovrig: $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall MyPackage [17:20] maginot, how did u do !lucid| karma_police ?? what does that command do? [17:20] PyroPhelia, and in the end many support the kernel give you are to things you plug on your machine [17:20] oh dajhorn said it better do that acovrig [17:21] i have a secondary hdd with my data on it and i have to mount it whenever i reboot. i have "startup applications preferences" installed. is there a script i can ass there to make it mount whenever pc boots? [17:21] yea, but 'I can't find an archive for it.' [17:21] PyroPhelia: you can use the previous kernel config as a starting point for the new kernel config, so that you only need to review new/changed modules. [17:21] Emanon, yea, but 'I can't find an archive for it.' [17:21] karma_police: think you just ad it to fstab [17:21] karma_police: add it ot fstab? [17:21] !fstab | karma_police [17:21] karma_police: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:22] ugandu, that makes the bot displays a message about lucid, like Emanon just did with fstab... [17:22] ty.. i'm a noob.. lovin ubuntu tho [17:22] hello there [17:22] ok guys i am out , nite all [17:22] maginot: cya :) [17:22] geekphreak, cya [17:22] geekphreak, here is still morning =X [17:23] I know this isn't the right place to ask, but has anybody ever experienced a bug with filezilla that only allows 100Mbps transfers over sftp? [17:23] PyroPhelia, 100mbps is a lot... [17:23] PyroPhelia: maybe your CPU cannot do more ... sftp is encrypted [17:23] bondiblueos9: as far as I know, you have to keep track of it manually, unless you have an app that does it for you (don't know of one offhand, usually the manufacturer would supply or recommend something) since it depends on the recording density (bits per inch) and the length of the tape... [17:23] cpu, disk... network cable? =P [17:23] PyroPhelia: it's way slower than ftp [17:24] still doesn't work, ttfn :( [17:24] where do lib*** packages get installed? [17:24] Maginot, no 100Mbit/s not 100Mbyte. [17:24] Exposure548, and no, I can hit a full 1Gbps over nfs/afp/scp [17:24] 100Mbit = ~12Mbytes [17:24] PyroPhelia, yeah, right [17:25] PyroPhelia: ok but those others are not usuch CPU intensive [17:25] PyroPhelia: what is scp? sisn't that sftp? [17:25] yes it is [17:25] it's sftp copy [17:25] scp is ssh copy... not ftp copy ... [17:25] PyroPhelia: oh ok so command-line scp is much faster ... then's it's a bug in filezilla? [17:25] PyroPhelia> how can you be sure the other server transfer to you faster [17:25] what are other progams like mad-wifi? [17:26] so if scp can transfer @ 1Gbps it's illogical to assume that the problem lies in cpu or protocol overhead [17:26] or wicd [17:26] V3G4RD, network-manager? [17:26] ops [17:26] motd, nfs, scp,afp all transfer at 100Mbyte+ [17:26] V3N0M, wrong nick ^ [17:26] Exposure548, that's what I'm thinking but I can't find anything about it [17:26] i'm trying to use remote desktop viewer to connect to a windows host (vnc). i get connection refused. but on the same machine, if i boot up windows in a VM and initiate remote desktop from that, it works. any ideas to make it work from ubuntu? [17:27] maginot i need a network-manager besides WICD [17:27] boourns: specify the port [17:27] V3N0M, wicd is one thing, network-manager is other thing... [17:27] Exposure548, it's also a very curious bug. If I open 10 conncurrent transfer then I can reach ~100MBps just like over scp or nfs. but each individual connection through filezila never transfer at a higher rate than 100Mbit/s [17:27] Typh: lib* packages are usually installed in /usr/lib. Why do you ask [17:28] V3N0M, they are 2 different programs [17:28] mabus, lemme see if i can figure out the port... from windows' remote desktop its set to "automatically determine port" or something [17:28] Typh, like losha said, "usually" they can be inside /lib, /usr/local/lib, /opt/lib... it depends [17:28] ohh, cause i need one that works for a ralink usn wifi [17:29] usb***8 [17:29] PyroPhelia: maybe inteneded limitation in filezilla? [17:29] PyroPhelia: have you tried the filezilla forum? contacting the developers? filing a bug report? [17:29] if I am on the command line and have a command like ' telnet 69.181.163.35 443' and I need to jump around and say edit the IP address, how can I quickly jump to that position [17:29] V3N0M, maybe you need kernel/driver support for that? [17:29] boourns: try 5900 [17:29] aye, they seem idle though. most likely just working on other things. [17:29] PyroPhelia, does it have anything to do with mozilla? [17:30] maginot, what do you mean? [17:30] PyroPhelia, because if so, maybe you could try irc.mozilla.org [17:30] mabus, ah got it, its a different port... had to do netstat -n from windows to see that [17:30] ah didn't think of that [17:30] it's part of their dev tree yes [17:30] mabus, thanks! [17:30] can some body help me assigning static ipv6 to my local network card? [17:31] boourns: I thought windows rdesktop and vnc were actually different protocols...? [17:31] PyroPhelia: Their official channel is #filezilla, and iirc, its not related to Mozilla. [17:31] ?? [17:31] boourns: no problem [17:31] Losha: they certainly are [17:31] Hi I would like to know in ubuntu where are the environment variables files located. [17:32] Pici, I've already made a few comments in the filezilla channel but I could of swore it was part of mozilla. my mistake. [17:32] Altin: in .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, etc [17:33] how can i tell for sure which mount point is witch? [17:33] karma_police, type "mount" [17:33] mabus: is it in the /home/ directory located [17:33] mabus: boourns: well, that goes some way in explaining why boourns can get rdesktop working but not vnc.... [17:34] if I write something to a tape, can I delete it from the tape without erasing the whole thing? === Rondom is now known as Rondom_ [17:34] i'm trying to figure out which hdd is sdb2 sdb1 etc.. [17:34] Losha, i dunno the answer, but the rdesktop viewer does tell you to pick VNC for a windows host === Rondom_ is now known as Rondom [17:34] Losha: he got it working now. however the desktop viewer supports multiple protocols [17:35] it probably doesn't try the default vnc port first [17:35] xukun_: ifconfig add [17:36] karma_police, hdd is like sdd, hda like sda, but... hd* normally means an IDE disk, sd* an SCSI disk (Sata, pendrivers, etc) [17:36] Has anyone else seen nm-applet crash when trying to share a 3G connection? [17:37] karma_police, hdd is the disk, hdd1, hdd2 are the disk partitions [17:37] just trying to find an easy way to automatically mount my secondary(data) hdd without mesing anything up.. i'm a noob [17:38] karma_police, well, if you want to automatically mount you may need to edit /etc/fstab [17:38] maginot: The "depends" is throwing me off. Things tell me to install libblahblah-dev or something, but then I have no idea where the actual files go [17:38] karma_police, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [17:38] bondiblueos9: well, it's just like a VCR or a cassette player (remember those?). If you had 2 things recorded, you could overwrite the first as long as you knew exactly where and when it started and stopped, but it would leave a gap. In practice, whether you can do this on a tape device depends on whether it can distinguish the end of one recording from the start of the next. I remember sun cassette drives could do this, so you could skip over archives [17:38] on the tape... [17:38] Hi [17:39] mabus: got it, thanks... [17:39] np [17:40] Hello! I tried to create a VNC server via vino (Remote Desktop), but for some reason, people can't join it. [17:40] Typh, well, normally you don't need to worry about where the files are, since -dev files will go to the right paths, but normally it will use /usr/lib or /usr/include (-dev use include to headers and so on) [17:40] I don't have a router, just a local wireless access point. [17:40] JadenKorn: as in you are using a router you do not own? [17:40] Is there a way to make vino VNC server NAT aware or UPnP compatible? [17:41] Well, it's actually connecting to wireless network stations. [17:41] is there any free linux software that can create simple flash animations? [17:41] So I am direct connection with the access point. [17:41] JadenKorn, VNC server naT? did you set any nat on your network? On your router/server/firewall ?? [17:41] After applying the latest updates to 9.04, I lost the ability to play video in the web brouser, like youtube stuff. Any ideas how to fix it? [17:41] Good day all ikonia Geekthras /var/www is set for default index.html how to access www folder without being root , should permission be changed ? is it good idea ? [17:42] alabd: use sudo or change the permissions [17:42] terrylm: have you tried reinstalling adobe flash player¿¿ have you installed another player¿¿ [17:42] miha, no one is good like Flash itself, but when I need to make some flash animation I'm used to programming wit AS3.0, so all you need is a text file. But if you need an IDE like Flash CS so I recommend you to go to a Mac [17:42] ikonia, each time we need to change php files should we sudo ? do you do so ? [17:42] alabd: either use sudo - or change the permissions, which every works for you [17:43] There is no such thing to configure on it, though the internal firewall is disabled. [17:43] xangua: no, no [17:43] alabd: or set the document root to a place on the disk that has less strict permissions [17:43] It's a NanoStation2 access point device from UBiQUiTi if that helps. [17:43] i've never messed with fstab. i want my /dev/sda1 to automatically mount when i boot the system. what do i need to put in the fstab file and where? [17:44] karma_police, the link I gave you is the official ubuntu guide, if you take a look you will see that is there [17:44] ikonia, what do you mean ? [17:45] alabd: either 1.) use sudo to access your files 2.) change permissions on the document root to allow non-root users to access them 3.) move the document root from /var/www to somewhere else such as users home dir to allow them to access [17:45] karma_police, maybe you want to use something graphical: http://albertomilone.wordpress.com/2006/07/27/pysdm-a-gui-for-fstab/ [17:45] how do i paste something really big [17:45] on a site thingy [17:45] I need to uninstall and reinstall GDM. How can I do this? [17:45] V3N0M: use http://paste.ubuntu.com [17:45] karma_police, pysdm is a graphical tool for editing fstab, to install: "apt-get install pysdm" [17:45] to that one that asked about editing /var/www : gksu nautilus is a dirty option ... sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu will add 'open as administratior' (in true Vista/win7 style) (after restart) [17:45] karma_police: backup your fstab befor useing pysdm and be VERY carefull with that tool. [17:46] !pastebin | V3N0M [17:46] V3N0M: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:46] ikonia, can we move /var/www folder , should not any conf file be edited so ? [17:46] alabd sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu will add 'open as administratior' menu option (in true Vista/win7 style) (after restart) [17:46] alabd: you change the document root in the apache config - you don't move /var/www [17:47] but if you're not otherwise using /var/www it makes little sense to change it to another directory [17:47] alabd: but if you're not otherwise using /var/www it makes little sense to change it to another directory [17:47] just change /var/www to permissions you see fitting, or listen to miha [17:47] changing /var/www to /home is quite difficult to set (AllowOverride and stuff) [17:48] if you are the one and only administrator, install nautilus-gksu [17:48] does #wine exist? [17:48] haha [17:48] BlubbTec: its #winehq [17:48] Pici: ty :) [17:49] mabus, alabd, if is a develop environment so you can change permission, but be aware to not do this on production system, it could lead to a lot of security flaws [17:49] <_thufir__> anyone know anything about this bug? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2925727&group_id=175815&atid=874746 [17:51] How do I prevent ssh sessions from timing out due to inactivity? [17:51] queso: theres config/options in the ssh and sshd configs for that - i recall [17:52] I just did software updates and whenever I login now I have no mouse cursor, I can see everything and use everything including my mouse and keyboard but just don't get a cursor. I've managed to "blindly" install XCHAT and connect here... Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? [17:52] queso: Add a line which says "TCPKeepAlive yes" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config [17:53] I just did software updates and whenever I login now I have no mouse cursor, I can see everything and use everything including my mouse and keyboard but just don't get a cursor. I've managed to "blindly" install XCHAT and connect here... Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? [17:53] Losha, Dr_Willis: great, thank you, I'll give it a try [17:54] r0ute, what about the gateway and like that? my router has 2001:xxx:xxx:1 [17:54] Losha: do I have to restart the daemon after modifying the config file? [17:54] queso: I'm not sure, but I expect you do have to restart it... [17:55] http://pastebin.com/4zLnbjwZ any one understand this [17:55] Losha: hmm, I already have TCPKeepAlive yes in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file :( [17:55] I just realized that all the drives I just hooked up are ntfs [17:56] I just did software updates and whenever I login now I have no mouse cursor, I can see everything and use everything including my mouse and keyboard but just don't get a cursor. I've managed to "blindly" install XCHAT and connect here... Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? [17:56] xukun_: for the gateway it's something like 'ip -6 route add default ' - not 100% sure that's the correct syntax but the man page for 'ip' will help you out [17:57] mp33pm try blindly changing mouse cursor? :D seriously, sometimes removing all .gnome or .gnome2 helps (if youa re not attached to your desktop settings) [17:57] I have an hp dv4 laptop and everything works properly except the touch button for the sound does not turn amber when it is muted. The wifi button does. Suggestions? [17:57] or if anyone has better idea? :D [17:57] r0ute, I'm but I have no idea what the default gw is [17:58] mp33pm: I agree. Try that. [17:58] xukun_: I can't help you with that, that depends on what the address is of your router [17:58] or perhaps .gconf ? [17:58] where are those found [17:58] in build instructions in this http://pastebin.com/4zLnbjwZ what does it mean by this set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX" [17:58] Hey is there a terminal command i can use to download and install Skype? I Downloaded the package from skypes website but it didnt work. Thanks [17:58] hi is there is anyone that can help me out with the later ubuntun [17:58] mp33pm in your home directory, but . are hidden 'show hidden files' or ls -a option in terminal [17:58] Quick question: I have unmet dependencies, but the package I tried to install is broken, everytime i apt-get -f install, it tries to install said broken package. I just want to get rid of the message so i can apt-get remove something to get working on a work around. Anyone know how to end this loop? [17:59] !skype | d_dyer [17:59] d_dyer: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [17:59] where are the .gnome files located [17:59] dm_: yeah, explain what got you into it [17:59] mp33pm if you want to make sure, try creating another user from console... sudo adduser [17:59] mp33pm: why? [17:59] r0ute,if I do ip r on my router I get 2001:xxx:xxx:1/64 [17:59] if that user logins normally, that's to blame [17:59] mp33pm: Right click the desktop, with nothing open and choose change desktop background, then when that window opens, choose your theme, then customize, then change your mouse cursor. [17:59] Thanks [17:59] can ubuntu 9.10 32-bit server use 2 processors for anything? [17:59] xukun_: use that as your gw then [17:59] crucialhoax ahh yes :D [17:59] any one helppppppppp [17:59] route thank you [18:00] I just install ubuntu and it was working fine but when i create a new user and logoff from the admin, the user login screen it just black... [18:00] in build instructions in this http://pastebin.com/4zLnbjwZ what does it mean by this set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX" [18:00] r0ute, thank you [18:00] xukun_: np, have fun :) [18:00] I have a pentium 2 server, and I'm trying to decide if it would be better for it to have one 400mhz processor or two 300mhz processors [18:00] !wifi > V3N0M [18:00] V3N0M, please see my private message [18:00] bondiblueos9: maybe ##hardware [18:00] nmap said my TCP sequence is trivial, how can I change tcp sequence pattern in ubuntu?

The fglrx package wont install because of a dev foobar, so the sub process fails, and therefore wont install the .deb. I cannot remove the other packages related to fglrx because it keeps trying to force me to (apt-get -f install) Well the problem is, when i do that, it fails and exits in errors. I just want to clear the "history" of me trying to install fglrx, so that I [18:01] QUESTION: I just install ubuntu and it was working fine but when i create a new user and logoff from the admin, the user login screen it just black... [18:01] I just install ubuntu and it was working fine but when i create a new user and logoff from the admin, the user login screen it just black... [18:02] is there any way for me to connect and mount a new drive without rebooting? [18:03] mp33pm: Did you get it? [18:04] lol, no [18:04] jrib any ideas? [18:04] dm_: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 how to fix the issue as they may have a better procedure than using a hammer. Anyway, you can edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE.postinst and change it so it completes successfully, then you could remove the package. You can also just force the removal with dpkg. Anyway, it doesn't matter, you should be asking if there is a proper solution for the lucid issue as I'm sure [18:04] others are experiencing it if it's a packaging mistake [18:04] xangua: Thanks, that was it, just (re)installed flash player and it works now. [18:04] it's so hard when i can only see a light shadow [18:04] when hitting something [18:04] Question: I just install ubuntu and it was working fine but when i create a new user and logoff from the admin, the user login screen it just black... [18:04] bondiblueos9, You mean an internal hardd drive? [18:04] yeah, like ide or sata [18:05] No, I doubt it. The BIOS has to recognize it [18:05] grumble [18:05] iirc it only does that on reboot [18:05] get a USB drive? :) [18:05] hey everyone I'm trying to figure out what my usb devices name is so I read my system log updates real time with the following command "fail -f /var/log/messages" and then plugged in my device and among other messages I got this one "Apr 13 09:52:00 ubuntubox kernel: [ 4947.754175] sdb:" now I'm pretty sure that there should be something like sbd1 after the colon but there is nothing what does this mean? [18:05] jrib and ive asked in #ubuntu+1, no help, I have found the bug, and they are working on it, and a temporary work around is listed, but this blunder of a loop is preventing me from fixing it. [18:05] jrib ill try what you said [18:06] dm_: ok, just make sure you understand what you are doing [18:06] is there any one that can assiste me with this problem?? I just install ubuntu and it was working fine but when i create a new user and logoff from the admin, the user login screen it just black... i don't want to reinstall ubuntu [18:07] Gavilaso, How long have you waited? Is there hard drive activity? [18:07] jrib sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx.postinst, the file does not exist or is empty, the issue is the package isnt installed, and it fails to install, but keeps asking me to -f install. [18:08] bondiblueos9: I thought I recalled reading that SATA drives were hotpluggable (You'd need to check this before attempting). External drives in usb enclosures are generally hotpluggable... [18:08] AnActivist: Try doing an lsusb from the term [18:08] jrib i think the major issue is im stuck in an endless loop [18:08] Jadoza the HD led is flashing every 5 to 10 sec [18:08] I'm having a tough time installing GTK. How do I automatically download it on my system? like through apt or something [18:08] gavilaso I'd wait for 30 minutes and see what happens. Is it 10.04? [18:08] ikonia, where apache conf file to change /var/www [18:09] Jodaza i'm have wait for around 15min already [18:09] I'm scripting some installs; is there a good method to tell apt-get (or aptitude) to skip the configuration dialogs for packages such as postfix, and I'll handle the config manually? [18:09] crucialhoax, this gives me a big list but nothing with /dev/sdxx in it? [18:09] ? [18:09] Gavilaso, I'm not sure, but when I created my standard account, ubuntu wrote zeroes to my entire home folder iirc. It took a loooong while [18:09] jrib want me to post a pastebin of what is happening? maybe then you can see what I see [18:10] Jadoza it is 9.10 the one on their site [18:10] Gavilaso, But I'm rreally guessing here [18:10] AnActivist: And you did type tail -f /var/log/messages? if the drive mounted there should be something there. [18:10] anyone? [18:10] alabd /etc/apache2/sites-available/default i think it should be here [18:10] Jadoza ok... i'm new to linux sooo [18:10] crucialhoax, yes thats what I thought but after the system message there is no name present [18:10] Apr 13 09:52:00 ubuntubox kernel: [ 4947.754175] sdb: [18:10] instead of [18:11] Apr 13 09:52:00 ubuntubox kernel: [ 4947.754175] sdb: sbdx [18:11] !gtk [18:11] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [18:11] :/ [18:11] Jodaza for me it is weired that whe you create a new account and reboot the pc you don't see the login screen it is just in black [18:11] dm_: sure, let's move to #ubuntu+1 though [18:11] AnActivist: Install gparted and see if it recognizes it. That should give you the disk's name. [18:11] Gavilaso, You reboot? Not just log out? [18:12] <_thufir__> where are the printer configuration files stored? [18:12] AnActivist: sudo apt-get install gparted [18:12] now i just log out.. but early this morning i reboot and because it didn't work i re-install ubutu [18:12] Jadoza now i just log out.. but early this morning i reboot and because it didn't work i re-install ubutu [18:12] crucialhoax, yes thanks I know, thats strange gparted recognizes it as sbd1 but its not in my /dev/sdb1 [18:13] Gavilaso, And it's still the same with the new installation? [18:13] yes [18:13] AnActivist: Browse to your /media folder, that should have a logical name [18:13] Gavilaso, That sucks :) Is there _really_ a need for more than one account? [18:13] ok, is there any way I could attempt to write continuously to my tape drive and have the system tell me what byte it fails at? so I can determine the size? [18:13] it work fine wite the user i create when installed.. but after i create a new user it just give me the black square where you are suppous to see the users list [18:14] I created a new user account and it's still not showing a cursor [18:14] apt-get remove wine will uninstall/remove wine, right? [18:14] Jadoza yes because i'm creating a guest account [18:14] BlubbTec: Yes. [18:14] crucialhoax, hmmm theres nothing in there [18:14] crucialhoax: thanks [18:14] AnActivist: and the drive is mounted? [18:14] Jadoza with just access to web browser and chat [18:14] Gavilaso, Have you tried pushing the buttons as usual? Perhaps it's just the graphics that's not showing, but if you hit enter and then the password it works? [18:14] Jadoza YUP! [18:15] crucialhoax, nvm its in the media folder as "disk" [18:15] but how does this tell me the logical name like /dev/sdb1? [18:15] Gavilaso, Well, I'm giving up :) good luck finding someone who can give you more advise :) [18:15] BlubbTec: No problem, "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" might be more efficient. [18:15] Jadoza thanks for your time!! [18:16] crucialhoax: okay then i will do that aswell, thanks ;) === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut [18:16] AnActivist: Is that what you named it? When I plug in a flash drive named Blah, it shows in the /media folder as BLAH... Maybe your disk is named "disk" [18:16] BlubbTec: anytime. [18:17] is there a difference between 9.04 and 9.10 ? is one lts and the othe rnot?

How is the safest way to upgrade to a newer version of (K)ubuntu? Upgrade by installing or apt-get distupgrade? [18:18] z0net: If you need programming help, ask in ##C or ##C++ [18:18] !upgrade | Fleg_ take a look [18:18] Fleg_ take a look: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [18:18] [Pici]: ok [18:19] Hey guys i have another question, Is there any way to install Adobe Air on Ubuntu 9.10? Thanks [18:19] Losha, do you know if there is a way for me to write random bits to a tape until it fails, and to know how many bits were written before the failure? as a way to determine the size [18:19] sorry for a (probably) redunt question, but if I'm running beta 2 lucid, should regular updates carry me to "essentially" the same final release? [18:20] skeebo: Yes. Further lucid help available in #ubuntu+1 [18:20] Pici: ty [18:20] Pici: thx. [18:20] d_dyer: A simple google search would have been sufficient. [18:21] I did, I tried one way but it didnt work. [18:21] i want to install ubuntu on a pc which has XP on it already, preserving the XP install. will the ubuntu installer be able to non-destructively partition the drive up to the last block used by windows? [18:21] d_dyer: Which "one way"? [18:21] Can i link on here? [18:21] d_dyer: yes [18:21] ok one sec [18:22] apt-get install libgnutls-dev will install the latest gnutls-dev package, right? [18:22] BlubbTec: Yes, the latest one currently in the repo's [18:22] crucialhoax: yep, thanks again ;) [18:22] crucialhoax, http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/04/06/how-to-install-adobe-air-on-ubuntu/ I tried that one but it didnt work. [18:22] d_dyer: Use this one: http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2009/11/ubuntu-9-10-installing-adobe-air/ [18:22] BlubbTec: No problem :) [18:22] Ok Thanks! [18:23] d_dyer: :) [18:24] afk [18:24] bondiblueos9: yes, something like this should work: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/tapedevice See also the 'dump' command (no use for ntfs though) and the 'mt' command. What program will you be using for the actual backups? [18:24] also, how can i have my wireless nic connect without using gnome's nm-applet? === jedu is now known as jegrox [18:25] miha, thanks [18:25] lucid pls === jegrox is now known as jedu [18:25] hi [18:25] LzrdKing: depends have you ever used the console before ...

[18:28] I am using it to install Twhirl, A Twitter App [18:28] fersen85, You're not called Joakim? :) [18:29] d_dyer: Oh I see. [18:29] if i copied some digit can i add it to my keyboard? [18:31] scim didn't work any idea? [18:32] so [18:32] is it possible to remove pulseaudio completely in karmic, so only alsa is used? [18:33] I believe so. [18:33] Your sound functions with alsa? [18:33] how do i make a video with a text ? i'm about to create a presentation and there i will expose videos, the video should previously come with a black screen and an explanation of what the hell the video is about, and then i will show it, i already know how to unite videos so if i could create a text video i'd just join them, i dont even know the name of this "writing-text-video" so i cant even google [18:34] my sound is quite fine, only thing is my mic got EXTREMELY low voice [18:34] xjkx: Language please. [18:34] and starts getting distorted when i boost it [18:34] BlubbTec: And that is because of Pulse? [18:34] crucialhoax: from what i've read, yes [18:35] is there a need for antiviruses on ubuntu? my windows installation has plenty of viruses and i cant run an av for some reason, so is it possible to use one on ubuntu to scan the windows partition? [18:35] !antivirus | jake_ [18:35] jake_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:35] anyway, i decided to wait for lucid and see if its fixed there [18:35] BlubbTec: I believe it can be removed from the package manager. [18:36] xangua: i have been moving files between windows and ubuntu. can that cause a problem? [18:36] My cursor isn't showing after running a software update. Created a new user with the same issue. Any ideas? [18:36] hey guys.. i'm using 8.10 and i need a package (libc 2.9) and 2.8 is the latest in the repos. can i grab a newer package and install it manually? [18:36] crucialhoax: sure? wouldn't that be too simple? :P [18:36] domo, no, that would break your system [18:36] deathzor: how can i connect my wireless nic from the command line?? [18:37] My cursor isn't showing after running a software update. Created a new user with the same issue. Any ideas?\ [18:37] domo: you will need to compile it and also compile all the dependencies if it needs [18:37] domo: did you try enabling 'backports' ? otherwise upgrade to newer version [18:37] BlubbTec: System > Admin > Synaptic Package > search for pulseaudio > there are quite a few... [18:37] mp33pm: depends on what was updated, surely. [18:37] domo: you *dont want* to manually install such [18:37] miha: alrighty [18:37] * miha remembers Gentoo GCC Upgrade Guide 's :D [18:37] crucialhoax: language... ?

[18:41] Gavilaso: Not if you don't ask [18:41] ! ask | Gavilaso [18:41] Gavilaso: 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).

[18:42] hi [18:42] Gavilaso: Which graphics driver? [18:42] !ask | V3N0M [18:42] V3N0M: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:42] My cursor isn't showing after running a software update. Created a new user with the same issue. Any ideas? [18:42] soreau i have been asking for more that 15 min the same question lol [18:42] Gavilaso: Didn't see you before. What graphics card is it? [18:43] Gavilaso: then if no one answers, no one knows or either you are not being explicit in your question [18:43] I used iwconfig but interfaces file is still empty [18:43] soreau i haven't install any, it was working with the default one.. until i create a new user === sliddy is now known as sllide [18:43] I have 9.10 on regular partitions, now I'd like to move them to LVM volumes on a new disk. I guess I'll have to reinstall grub anyway, how does grub 2go with lvm? [18:43] Gavilaso: Yes, but what does 'lspci|grep VGA' report your card as? [18:44] soreau how can i get that info now that the login screen where you are suppout to choose the user is black... ? [18:44] hi went and set group permissions for a folder via nautilus running as root...how to set it via shell?

Created a new user with the same issue. Any ideas? My bluetooth mouse and keyboard are working fine minus the cursor on the screen... === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [18:45] okay i have a ralink usb and i want to know how to install this tar, i read the read me but i do not understand it [18:45] http://pastebin.com/PhN3QCdC [18:45] could anyone put it in lame man terms [18:45] please [18:45] deathzor: no security :D [18:46] hi [18:46] LzrdKing: very secure but yeah iwconfig should do the job then [18:46] im having difficulties installing broadcom drivers on ubuntu [18:46] deathzor: set the essid? [18:47] My cursor isn't showing after running a software update. Created a new user with the same issue. Any ideas? My bluetooth mouse and keyboard are working fine minus the cursor on the screen... [18:47] Losha, I was going to use mt and tar, but I'm also looking into dump/restore; as for the size of the tape, I googled the letters and numbers on the tape; who would have thought of that :P [18:47] LzrdKing: essid and channel use iwlist or spy to get the info [18:47] mp33pm: try a different mouse? [18:48] deathzor: i know the essid, and it's hidden, if i set channel to auto will it use the right one? [18:48] is anyone familiar with getting wireless adapter to work on lenovo thinkpad t400? I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and i cant seem to figure it out. [18:48] Losha, do either tar or dump/restore make it easier to pull individual files/diretories from the backup? [18:48] LzrdKing: you can try [18:48] this is bs XD [18:48] bondiblueos9: I use dump/restore a lot, but did you not say your drives were ntfs. I don't think dump will work with ntfs filesystems at all... [18:48] i perfer setting my channel manually to a free channel whats your location if its europe there are only 13 options in the US 12 [18:49] Losha: oh, but I could use tar to backup all the files from it still, right? [18:49] deathzor: when i tried iwconfig before, i set the essid but it didn't associate with my network in anyway [18:49] Question; i install Ubuntu 9.10 I just left it with the default setting and drivers. It was working fine with out any problem. I create a new user and log off from the current one so i can try to log in with the new user. When the system log me off and now where you should see the user list so you can choose one that square is black.. but the ubunta wallpaper is ok.... so i can't login or choose any user ... hope my question is clear now... [18:49] set it to managemend and power it on ( if its not already ) [18:50] deathzor: was that for me? [18:50] i am having difficulties installing broadcom drivers on a compaq presario, i already got wifi radar and other drivers, but when i get to configure which wifi reciever i want to use it doesnt show broadcom, and when i try getting the driver from the third party drivers enable the bar stays empty and doesnt enable anything [18:51] Losha: will dump/restore work for hfsplus? === revil is now known as TrueRevil [18:51] alo [18:51] LzrdKing: yes [18:52] bondiblueos9: dump/restore are excellent because they store a directory of files at the beginning of the tape, and you can mark everything you want to retrieve, then just let it run, but I believe it's for ext2/ext3 filesystems only. You should be able to use tar, and it will allow you to pull individual files/directories from the tape, but I'm not sure if all the ntfs filesystem semantics are captured faithfully by tar, since ntfs is, in the end, a pro [18:52] prietary microsoft filesystem format... [18:52] what is the upgrade path to go from Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS to the latest stable desktop Ubuntu (would that be Maverick Meerkat?) === cpdstudio_ is now known as No22Day [18:52] jaysern-w, 10.04 is the next LTS release [18:52] jaysern-w: It would be Karmic Koala. the next LTS is Lucid Lynx, will n=be out in about 15 days [18:53] deathzor: how do i set it to managed? i don't see that option for iwconfig [18:53] maybe there is a really light x client thats ligh nm-applet but not an applet? [18:53] ardchoille, "about 15 days" is actually 16 days from today ;) [18:53] i see. i can wait for the freshest version. so I can go straight from hardy heron to lucid lynx ? [18:54] someone mentioned i need to upgrade to an intermediate step before, but i wasn't sure why that was [18:54] iwconfig mode managed ;) [18:54] iwconfig card mode managed * [18:54] jaysern-w, i believe you will be able to update from 8.04 to 10.04 (but perhaps not on release day, a little while after) [18:54] ZykoticK9: You should be able to do it on release day. [18:54] jaysern-w: you can update directly on release day [18:55] Although doing anything on release day with the archives will be slow. [18:55] Was just going to say that [18:55] hi guys, i need libicu38 for karmic ... figured out that it was removed but i found it on jaunty packages [18:55] is there a really light x client thats like nm-applet but not an applet? maybe for openbox? [18:56] hi, i need some help with getting some wireless drivers to work [18:56] is it okay if i use the package from jaunty? [18:56] okay. in Ubuntu parlance, when one talks about upgrading, does that mean I have to save all my data elsewhere, format the machine, boot from the CD/DVD and do a fresh install ? [18:56] iromli: mixing release packages is a very bad idea [18:56] jaysern-w, upgrades don't touch your data [18:56] ardchoille: how about getting it from source? [18:56] LzrdKing: wicd¿¿ [18:56] assuming you do an upgrade and not a clean install [18:57] Question; i install Ubuntu 9.10 I just left it with the default setting and drivers. It was working fine with out any problem. I create a new user and log off from the current one so i can try to log in with the new user. When the system log me off and now where you should see the user list so you can choose one that square is black.. but the ubunta wallpaper is ok.... so i can't login or choose any user ... hope my question is clear now... anyone on t [18:57] his? [18:57] jaysern-w: no, although a current backup is advisable in any event. [18:57] jaysern-w: You should be able to upgrade in place. Backups are always a good idea, though. [18:57] iromli: That would be preferaable if it isn't in the Karmic repos [18:57] i am having difficulties installing broadcom drivers on a compaq presario, i already got wifi radar and other drivers, but when i get to configure which wifi reciever i want to use it doesnt show broadcom, and when i try getting the driver from the third party drivers enable the bar stays empty and doesnt enable [18:57] so I just download the .iso, burn it to a CD, boot from the CD, and there will be an upgrade option ?

How can I search for packages which provide that? [19:01] Thanks all for your help! [19:01] iromli: Then that package is old. Can you find a newer version of it? Compiling may be the only way to go. [19:01] what does bz2.bin file mean [19:01] i should probably mention, the reason why I'm upgrading from Hardy is because some time ago I (stupidly) accidentally deleted some .so files in one of the lib directories.

[20:54] karma_police: put `sudo` in front of the command [20:54] do I need to remove its entry from fstab? [20:54] does zfs automatically mount it? [20:55] will it work if the device path changes? [20:55] i can unmount it but i want it to stay unmounted when i reboot system.. [20:55] blkid still shows the drive having type ntfs [20:55] Tapout, I think you could make it input nothing, but I don't think it will stop sending events to the kernel, so I suggest disabling the keyboard (or in the bios or on thehardware) and using an external keyboard === arm is now known as Guest73000 [20:55] i am a noob and am not too familiar with fstab [20:55] does someone here know what are the rules for passwords on Launchpad?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:58] karma_police, I think you must have something like: "/dev/sdb2 ntfs defaults 0 0" on your /etc/fstab, have you tried that? [20:58] I mean, the passwords I'm trying to enter are made of perfectly valid Unicode characters, why does launchpad.net tell me "Invalid characters in password"? [20:59] Schmorgluck: Have you asked in #launchpad ?

Iam not sure, but it should not be running if it not even installed ha [21:30] lowe [21:30] No, gdm is still running. There was a problem with running gdm-2.20 instead, I can't remember exactly what it was. If there's a problem with gdm missing a library, it's probably not causing the slow refresh, as the refresh rate is fine in a standard gdm session, just not in a startx-based sesssion.

[21:40] thank you, whoever told me about autossh! [21:40] ubottu: you are not very helpfull :) [21:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:40] oops, wrong channel, it wasn;t here [21:40] crucialhoax, zaxonspox gaveen (file saveas choose jpeg sounded obvious so I had tried it) and choosing select file type by extension means I can no longer see the SAVE button. It's below the bottom of my screen. [21:40] jrib: I don't get how it all fits together, I guess my main question would be why are there identically-named folders in different directories? [21:40] Tripplehelix: Ok, that is fine. Now in the same terminal type `cd` then `ls -a | grep ./FaH` [21:40] !fhs | brax [21:40] brax: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [21:41] Thanks! :D [21:41] brax: like what? [21:41] Ubottu, by the way, I will have two crumpets and a cup of tea please. [21:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:41] tripleb than press Enter, or use TAB [21:41] I'll just take a look at that link and ask you any questions that I have later. [21:41] crucialhoax: that did nothing but showed no error [21:41] Hi there everyone, I've plugged in a stratitec all-in-one flash card reader, with one HDHC card, but it does not show up in KDE. Any help? [21:42] Tripplehelix: Ok, then try this `ls -a` and scroll thru the directories and see if you find ./FahCore [21:43] crucialhoax: nothing [21:43] Tgp1994 have you formatted the FLASH card with Windows? [21:43] i have created a bunch of symbolic links to files hosted on another server. i rebooted my system, and the links broke. it looks like the spaces in the link paths are not escaped. why would something like this happen? [21:43] Tripplehelix: well looking at your paste been something is starting it. [21:43] Curly_Q: Actually, the first time I formatted it in the Wii :( So windows can't even recognize it. [21:44] crucialhoax: it's installed to the system, not to the user.... where would that put it? It's not in root [21:44] panfist: I don't understand what you are asking... I suppose the links don't have escaped spaces because you didn't escape them... [21:44] Tripplehelix: `whereis origami` [21:44] does anyone here have experience with getting evolution to sync to an iPod? [21:44] Okay whats the magic shortuct that I bumped that disabled my touchpad? [21:45] It works fine at the GDM screen but soon as a login mouse is disabled. [21:45] histo: It is probably an FN key plus a F key [21:45] "origami:" crucialhoax [21:45] jrib: hmmm, that doesn't go into sub sub etc directories; I guess I'll man find afterall [21:45] histo, I know that you can disable in System > Preferences > Mouse [21:45] Tripplehelix: It made its own line stating your search? [21:45] bondiblueos9: it should [21:45] maginot: yeah there aparently is a shortcut that I hit. [21:45] Tgp1994 depending upon whether that flash card is legit or not, and when I say that is that I recieved a Kingston 64 gig flash and it was fake card. It works great but Windows was not able to format it. That was a problem, but I fixed it though. [21:45] crucialhoax, zaxonspox gaveen FILE, SAVEAS, dialog box. I make it say Jpeg in the box below the box that shows my folders. I REMOVE the .xcf from the filename (up top in the dialog box) I change the name of the file or marr the pic so I can tell which it is. (this is ubuntu 9.10) upgraded from 9.04) My system is in no way tweaked. I have done this in photoshop or the free windows photo-program in my windoes past. === as I said, saves as a .xcf == there must [21:45] be some differeence in what you do. [21:45] crucialhoax: yep, just says "origami: [21:45] " then next line is the regular input line [21:45] ciao [21:46] Curly_Q: If the Wii can format it though, shouldn't it be legit? [21:46] tripelb: You cannot just change the file name to .jpg. you have to change the drop down menu to jpg [21:46] It depends. [21:46] Did you try to format the card in Linux? [21:46] evenin' all [21:46] Tripplehelix: try `whereis Fah` or `locate Fah` [21:46] list [21:46] Curly_Q: And I mean with the homebrew file browser, I can browse it, but that's something else. I'm just concerned about linux recognizing it. ACTually, I wouldn't mind if I could just reset the FS. [21:46] Curly_Q: Ya, I don't know how, I don't know the device ID. [21:46] \\list [21:47] fabrizio: /LIST [21:47] crucialhoax: "/var/lib/origami/foldingathome/CPU1/FahCore_78.exe" and CPU2 [21:47] fabrizio: !list [21:47] tripleb try png not jpg [21:47] Tgp1994 see if your Linux box can see the device. [21:47] Have no idea what I bumped to do this. [21:48] Curly_Q: How can I go about doing that, and how will I know it's that same memory reader it's recognizing? [21:48] How do you open the gnome menu with kb? [21:48] Tripplehelix: I believe that is it... Yeah, that is the same .exe as the one in your pastebin. So I would do this. [21:48] I think that command is dmesg. After that mount the device. [21:48] crucialhoax: sudo rm /var/lib/origami/foldingathome/CPU1/FahCore_78.exe ? [21:49] Tripplehelix: `sudo mv /var/lib/origami/foldingathome/CPU1/FahCore_78.exe FahCore_78.exe.OLD [21:49] Tripplehelix: Do not delete it, just rename it. Do you have WINE installed? [21:50] crucialhoax: I've renamed both in CPU1 and CPU2 ... no [21:50] join #ubuntu-es [21:50] Tripplehelix: KK, now I guess see if it still runs after a reboot.. [21:50] brb [21:51] Ok [21:51] Curly_Q: Any ideas [21:51] What is the cognate to ~/.xsession-errors, on a modern ubuntu system? [21:52] Tgp1994 have you tried the flash drive on another computer? [21:52] coventry: I have the same files on my Ubuntu system [21:52] Curly_Q: The only other computers I have are windows. [21:52] ~.xsession errors [21:52] Does it work there? [21:52] Oh, still the same. Thanks. [21:52] Np [21:53] Curly_Q: Tried it on a memory reader in our printer, but now that you mention it... I'll give it a try with this external one. [21:53] hello [21:53] i required help [21:53] amy_ ask [21:53] on the desktop [21:53] there is a file of some kind, I cannot seem to delete it [21:53] crucialhoax: that was a messy login only one FAH process now [21:53] Tripplehelix: Messy login? [21:54] amy_: What is the file/ [21:54] crucialhoax: it loaded funny, but it's fine now [21:54] when doing a scp transfer how do you specify a directory that has spaces in it? \ is not working. [21:54] amy_ what files? names [21:54] PyroPhelia: put the path in quotes [21:54] h00k, still didn't work [21:54] it says Blue Hard Drive 372 [21:54] crucialhoax: this last process I guess has started as it was running before, it won't die [21:54] don't know what it is and trying to delete it [21:54] Curly_Q: On windows, four new removable disks come up, all of them asking me to insert a device. [21:55] Tripplehelix: Lets see if we can get ride of that last one then. `ps aux | grep origami` then paste bin it please. I would like to compare the two :) [21:55] PyroPhelia: I normally just make a tar archive when I want to copy files with spaces [21:55] amy_ did you connected a Flash Drive or Flash Card [21:55] my dad decided to test it on a different machine [21:55] This makes no sense how could touchpad just stop working for one user? [21:55] ah I got it. "" with \ [21:55] and now I cannot remove it off the desktop [21:55] question, is the offical ubuntu book still up to date and good for new users [21:55] histo: It was prolly disabled by a hotkey [21:55] sheeps10, can't tar atm. the HD is full. [21:55] Tgp1994 is this flash drive store bought right of the package or did someone give it to you? I ask that because it may be that the flash drive has logical partitions on it. [21:55] i wanted to find a book to recommend to my friend [21:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/413905/ crucialhoax [21:56] amy_ then this is a Flash Drive connected through USB, click right with mouse on it and choose Unmount [21:56] Curly_Q: The Flash drive was store bought, from meijers. [21:56] Tripplehelix: It is no longer running any longer :) [21:56] crucialhoax: I have a button that can disable right above the touchpad its not disabled because the light isn't lit. The pad works fine on GDM just right after I login it stops working. [21:56] Did you logically partition it? [21:56] Curly_Q: Whatever the wii did to it, I dunno. [21:56] I know that but it;s still using 10% of my CPU on this process :P [21:57] histo: Hmm. That is odd. What kind of touchpad is it? [21:57] crucialhoax: I was working in a gnome-terminal ssh'd in to another box earlier and it just went crayz. [21:57] Can I rm those folders? crucialhoax [21:57] woo, i just attached screen from inside itself [21:57] Tripplehelix: I do not know for sure =/ [21:57] crucialhoax: by crazy I mean scrreen flickerd and mouse pointer stoped responding. But keyboard was fine. [21:57] ok, i just did what you told me to do, unmount the drive but there is no response [21:58] histo: Hmm. That is odd. What kind of touchpad is it? [21:58] Tgp1994 I had a problem with my 64 gig flash drive. Windows could not format it. Another problem with it is that when I was doing some forensic data recovery with it, the files were scrambled and I could not delete any of the files. However, Hewlett Packard has a nice software to format any memory stick. [21:58] sudo rm /var/lib/origami/ results in "rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/origami/': Is a directory" also how do I kill that process? [21:58] he also just diconnected the drive [21:58] crucialhoax: sudo rm /var/lib/origami/ results in "rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/origami/': Is a directory" also how do I kill that process? [21:58] Tripplehelix: what do you mean kill that process? [21:59] crucialhoax: let me check i'm not sure who makes it its on an hp laptop [21:59] histo: It is probably synaptics then. [21:59] Curly_Q: I'll give it a search, thanks. I just hope it works when windows is still asking to insert a device. [21:59] crucialhoax, i DID NOT CHANGE THE FILENAME TO JPG. I changed the BOX below the choice of directories. As I said. I only changed the filename so that It would be distinct from the previous try. [21:59] amy_ sorry? who, when disconnected? after clicking unmount? [21:59] crucialhoax: 1627 in the paste bin.. [21:59] Tgp1994 hang in there for a moment, I will tell you what the software is. [21:59] crucialhoax: my CPU used to run at 2% usage now it's over 10% something's still odd [21:59] hello all [22:00] crucialhoax: ignore me [22:00] crucialhoax: thank you very much [22:00] Tripplehelix: That is not a process. that is the command `ps aux | grep origami` that is all that is. [22:00] Curly_Q: I think I may have found it, HP USB Disk Storage Format tool, right? [22:00] zaxonspox: my dad disconnected the hard drive before unmounting it [22:00] crucialhoax: What's the command to remove "/var/lib/origami/" [22:00] Tripplehelix: However, if you did want to remove those directories. it would be `rm -R` -R for recursive [22:00] amy_ bad, thats not the way, he might destroy data on the drive [22:00] hey guys, i'm looking for a voltage monitor for ubuntu... my system is failing and i think it's my psu any suggestion? thanks [22:01] I just did the latest update and now my grub entry shows this line [22:01] 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-20-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { [22:01] crucialhoax: yeah its using synaptics and there is some macintosh button emulation on. Which i think might be the culprit. although I have no idea how I could have turne dit on with keypresses. [22:01] crucialhoax: I owe you alot, thank you :D [22:01] Yes. [22:01] what happened [22:01] amy_ thats for is Unmount option, for safe removal, if some data were copied, hard disconnect might not saved them [22:01] It is free and it works real nice. [22:01] zaxonspox: on the hard drive, there wasn't any important file on there [22:01] Curly_Q: Ya, for each of the 5 empty devices, it says there is no media inserted. I'm pretty sure I have it in right. [22:01] Tripplehelix: No problem. I am glad it is working correctly now :) [22:01] zaxonspox: in other words, there wasn't any file [22:02] amy_ then no problem, just for the future - unmount first [22:02] I shall no longer trust FAH after killing two of my computers :) [22:02] Tgp1994 it might be that there are logical partitions there that are not being seen properly. === Issi_ is now known as Issi [22:02] histo: type `gconf-editor` in a terminal [22:02] Curly_Q: So what can I do [22:02] Tripplehelix: I would not either. That was terrible. [22:02] crucialhoax: yeah any idea what key i'm looking for in there? [22:02] zaxonspox: he took the hard drive out of the CCTV and then he decided to check it on the computer as the hard drive keeps popping up saying hard drive fail on the CCTV and decided to test it on the computer [22:02] Try formatting it with the HP USB program in Windows. [22:03] It won't hurt anything. [22:03] Curly_Q: Ya, I got it. Says for each of the 5 devices, that no media is inserted. [22:03] histo: desktop > gnome > peripherals > touchpad [22:03] zaxonspox: when he connected the hard drive on to another machine, it wouldn't come up with the hard drive name or anything [22:03] Tgp1994 it may be that you will have to use fdisk and remove the logical partitions. [22:03] crucialhoax: it was disabled [22:04] This might be slightly off-topic, but I once stumbled upon a website that had irc quotes and it also had the GNU logo at the top, do you know what the URL might be? [22:04] crucialhoax: how could I have done that with keyboard [22:04] Curly_Q: The problem is, I don't know what device it is in linux. [22:04] what kernel does ubuntu use in their latest release? [22:04] histo: I have no idea lol that is random. usually if there is not an fn key it is the button above it, which you stated was on. I have no idea. [22:04] 0.01 ;-) [22:04] lol [22:04] Tgp1994 did you try dmsg or is it dmesg. [22:05] but is there anyway that i will be able to remove the drive from the desktop? [22:05] dmesg, right, but what am I looking for? [22:05] 2.6.32-20 [22:05] The device. USB [22:05] hey there,,whats the --sm-disable option for with the nm-applet in Gnome on Ubuntu ? [22:05] jrib: ok, if "find . -name *.zip" gives me the correct files, then "find . -name *.zip -delete" will delete them, right? is there any way to make it interactive? [22:05] I cannot wait x.x.33 [22:05] jibadeeha, ty [22:05] amy_ it still resides? then after reebot it should disapear [22:05] Curly_Q: Alright, I see five devices being recognized, good. So do I try mounting all of them? [22:05] np [22:05] It may say the manufacturers name there Tgp1994. [22:05] ls [22:05] sorry [22:05] Yes. [22:06] zaxonspox: what if it doesn't disappear? [22:06] Curly_Q: Ok, or should I actually try fdisk? [22:06] histo: Is it re-enabled? [22:06] Try mounting first. [22:06] bondiblueos9: find -iname '*.zip' -exec rm -i '{}' \; [22:06] amy_ it should, if not, then connect it again, and normal unmount [22:07] Curly_Q: Now mount has frozen :( [22:07] amy_ hard way will be to remove entry in .... .mtab file i think [22:07] If you see five devices that indicates but I am not 100% sure that there are five logical partitions. How big is that flash drive? [22:07] ok, i will do that now and try your suggestion [22:07] if don't work, i will come back on chat === joaopinto_ is now known as joaopinto [22:07] thanks [22:07] Curly_Q: Nevermind, just took awhile. I'll keep trying on the other devices. Oh, I see where you're going here. No, I think those five devices are the five ports on this AIO card reader. [22:08] amy_ spox [22:08] I see. [22:08] Curly_Q: There's actually only four, but maybe one has two in it. [22:08] See what fdisk tells you. Just do a querry there. [22:09] how do you get ubuntu to show the boot process? [22:09] Curly_Q: How do I do a query in fdisk? [22:09] fdisk [22:09] do I need to remove the `quite` part from grub menu? [22:09] Curly_Q: Umm, it just shows examples for usage. [22:09] I think "F2" when starting but I might be remembering wrong [22:09] Try fdisk help -help [22:09] its different for all machines man. [22:10] Zelda: My netbook does it automagically. [22:10] It would be better to Google fdisk in this case. [22:10] see, some do it automatically. [22:10] Curly_Q: Mk. [22:10] anyone know what the --sm-disable option is with the network manager applet ? [22:10] its fdisk -help I think [22:10] --help? [22:11] Greets to Zelda <--------------< [22:11] or /help [22:11] Curly_Q: I think you may be thinking of the windows version of fdisk, since that has a /query switch. [22:11] ola? [22:11] eh [22:11] No Linux has an fdisk. [22:11] hi [22:11] is it possible, like you can on windows, to use the mic socket for surround sound output? [22:11] has been doing save-as since before you touched a computer dudes [22:11] alguien podria decirme que es esto? [22:12] hi. i connected my computer to my HD tv. i just changed my audio output device to HDMI, and most sounds are now output on the tv. however, some programs refuse to output there and output on the default sound device (desktop speakers). what can i do? [22:12] Curly_Q: I realise that :) but google searching is revealing only a /query switch, which means it's for windows. [22:12] espanolo dude. [22:12] http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/3174/1/ [22:12] ubuntu wont make the window fit my screen. So not ready for primetime. [22:12] you think save-as is bad.. i have to save using punch cards! [22:12] hahah [22:12] SickPuppy: I am googling now. One sec [22:12] Zelda, when we had punch cards I had a keypunch operator to do them for me. [22:13] I have to use a 7 punch cards.. [22:13] i was trying 'sudo synaptic' on cli...its giving me this msg............Unable to get exclusive lock......................................why and how could i solve this problem?? [22:13] zelda, base 7 ! how alien ! [22:13] Curly_Q: Says nothing about querying for devices :) [22:13] LOL [22:13] sab_: you have something else running apt [22:13] * tripelb goes irl (not getting any help here) [22:13] I have a simple question. If anyone can answer please, i already have windows. I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 but i want to keep windows too and to have an option to choose between them at boot. And if i install Ubuntu , does it have to be on a separate partition? Or if i use with a windows normal it will change it`s data structure? [22:13] When I said querry I was referring to take a look at what the partitions were with fdisk. [22:14] iadrian. you can do that. [22:14] !aptlock | sab_ [22:14] sab_: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [22:14] You run the live cd, and it will give you the option to run them and choose at startup [22:14] Curly_Q: That would mean I'd have to mount a device, and all five of the devices failed at mounting. [22:14] just install ubuntu now normal installation just to a separate partiotion? [22:14] sab_, pkill synaptic && pkill update-manager [22:14] crucialhoax, how can i stop that apt,and how do i know what is running on apt? [22:14] iadrian,: yes [22:14] Thank you Zelda ! [22:14] Curly_Q: In fdisk I mean [22:14] sab_: Are you using apt-get in a terminal? [22:14] Tgp1994 this website will help you. http://www.basicconfig.com/linux/linux_fdisk_command_check_hard_disk_partitions [22:14] thats what Im doing right now. [22:15] well, I mean, thats how I have my computer set up right now. [22:15] crucialhoax, yes [22:15] Curly_Q: Nothing came back when using the -l command, what does that mean? === torture is now known as cpuTorture [22:15] ^ maybe he went to get some pans [22:15] hahah [22:15] buntu-tr [22:16] which one is better, Ubuntu OR Kubuntu ? [22:16] sab_: That is why, when that is finished, you can open Synaptic [22:16] I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and wanted to know how to set my network connection priorities [22:16] -l is the list command [22:16] iadrian: It is your choice [22:16] !best | iadrian [22:16] iadrian: 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. [22:16] Kubuntu uses KDE and Ubuntu is Gnome. I like Ubuntu [22:16] iadrian: I prefer ubuntu because I like gnome, but if you like KDE, then use Kubuntu [22:16] Zelda: Ah, so if it only comes back with my hard disk, that means no other partitions are detected anywhere? [22:16] !de | iadrian [22:16] iadrian: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [22:16] Understand. [22:17] iadrian: Er. Not the one I was looking for. [22:17] iadrian, if youre a former windows user KDE (kubuntu) might be more familiar to you, personally I prefer kde over gnome, and im a "experienced linux user" [22:17] crucialhoax, i was running this command ....apt-get install amarok ,then it stops and not working,i pressed ctrl+z to quit [22:17] tgp1994: what are you trying to do? [22:17] !desktop | iadrian [22:17] iadrian: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [22:17] Zelda: Trying to figure out why my SDHC card isn't being read. [22:17] If that is what it is saying then mount that one partition rather than the 4. [22:17] <--likes GNOME [22:17] sab_: Now try opening synaptics [22:17] crucialhoax: agree with you, i like gnome too [22:17] Zelda: It's only read on my wii. [22:17] tgp1994: in LInux? [22:17] Curly_Q: Huh? [22:17] for posterity: my problem with networking was caused by having the ubuntu-minimal package installed, which recently installed ifupdown, which is hard configured to use dhcp, and /etc/network/interfaces needs to be edited by hand [22:17] <---- agrees with Zelda [22:18] Zelda: Right, not read in linux or windows, only read on the wii. [22:18] Beside the desktop enviroment there is no big difference ... [22:18] iadrian: Correct [22:18] iadrian, imo there is [22:18] tgp1994: so you have formatted it using the Wii? [22:18] Zelda: Correct. [22:18] tgp1994: Can you reformat it to something else in the Wii? [22:18] crucialhoax: I'm not quite sure :S [22:18] tgp1994: Interesting. Let me see if mine will read in Linux or windows. [22:19] Hey I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and was wondering if anyone knows how to set priorities on network connections [22:19] tgp1994: What did Wii format it to? [22:19] crucialhoax: Beats me :P [22:19] lol sweet [22:19] Tgp1994 have you gone to the manufacture website to check for drivers so Linux can see that device? [22:19] Curly_Q: It is not that. I believe it is a Wii only format lol [22:20] Curly_Q: The Mfg's website looks like one of those knockoff ones, but heck, I don't even know what the device S/N is. [22:20] its probably a matter of the Wii formatting it to like fat16 or something. [22:20] fat16 i recognized by Linux === Boldfilter_ is now known as Boldfilter [22:20] @all, And even then, I would think that at least the physical card would be recognized. [22:20] Tgp1994 the serial number is not what is important, it is the PART NUMBER and name of the device and MODEL NUMBER. :) [22:20] hm... maybe the way they formatted it, the MBR is only recognized by the Wii's software. [22:21] is it a WII branded SD card? [22:21] crucialhoax: yeah its a bug from resuming after bumping the button. I can recreate it. [22:21] Curly_Q: Ya, I guess that's what I meant :P Very fishy of knocked-offed ness. === jynn_ is now known as jynn [22:21] crucialhoax: I'll look at filing it later [22:21] lol [22:21] Zelda: No, it's a standard SanDisk card. [22:21] histo: As long as it works now lol [22:21] OMG? [22:21] I dont know then. I cant get to mine right now. I have it packed somewhere. [22:22] Zelda: Oh, alright. Perhaps the Homebrew channel has a formatter, im gunna go to their website and look. [22:22] good idea. [22:22] (Blasted think can't update, which is why I'm trying to format the card in the 1st place :P) [22:22] tgp1994: So you formatted the the SD card using the Wii and now it wont read on the computers? [22:22] Ive never had an issue using it in a Windows machine.. [22:22] crucialhoax: Correct. [22:22] crucial: precisely. [22:22] Zelda: Odd. [22:23] tgp1994: indeed. [22:23] Zelda: Double confirmation :P [22:23] Hmm... that is weird. does it show up in the logs as being recognized? `tail -f /var/log/messages [22:23] Not odd at all methinks. If you asked the Wii to format the SD card with one of the homebrew apps, then it's going to make the assumption that you're planning to install gam, uh, 'backups' on the card, and format it with WBFS [22:24] WBFS is a format that, for the most part, the Wii recognises and nothing else does [22:24] which woudlnt be recognized by either system. [22:24] crucialhoax: yeah but definately a bug. [22:24] Here's the paste: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2zRLxbJq [22:24] tgp1994: there you are man. thats the problem. [22:24] There's a program for Windows, WBFS Manager, that will handle the filesystem, but it just installs games on it. [22:24] I dont have mine "hacked or modded" [22:24] when i m using synaptic to install something its trying to DL but no progress,but my internet connection is good now,why? === student_ is now known as snowhouse [22:25] tgp1994: Zelda: what are you trying to do with the SD card? why do you need the SD card in the Wii? Are you softmodding your wii? [22:25] Zelda tgp1994 mayby it is exFAT (FAT64). What size is this card? [22:25] geoffb: its not me its tgp1994 === brindlem is now known as loonyjuice [22:25] Is there a way to use GDM login screens on Ubuntu 9.10? [22:25] I figured that Zelda, it's just that with a name like Zelda, it's kinda easy to assume it's you :-D [22:25] zaxonspox: its not me ask tgp1994 [22:25] i m trying different soft to DL,but not a single one is working [22:26] LOL [22:26] geeze... [22:26] Hey [22:26] @both: I'm trying to install a homebrew channel update on it cause the HB channel doesn't update its self. [22:26] zaxonspox: It's 8Gb. [22:26] (remembering that the game, "Zelda, Twighlight Princess" was the source of the leak that led to the softmod stuff for the wii becoming available [22:26] I mean GB :P [22:26] I know, im so great arent i? L) [22:26] er :) [22:27] tgp1994 :P did you tryed formating it in GParted, and putting in Wii? [22:27] can anyone please tell me how can i solve this problem,i m very new in linux(ubuntu) [22:27] zaxonspox: Nah, without thinking, it went straight from the packaging into the wii. [22:27] so, like it or nor Zelda, you're irretrievably associated with the Wii :-) [22:27] geoffb: damn! [22:27] i'm trying to make epsxe output the sound on a different device than the default. it does not show up in pavucontrol though. any other ideas? [22:27] heh! [22:27] hi guys, the range available for all of my cpu-frequency scaling governors is 800-800MHz [22:28] tgp1994: so the SD card you're using... has that already been used with the wii, does it already have softmod/homebrew stuff on it? [22:28] geoffb: Yessir. [22:28] geoffb: thats what hes been saying. [22:28] my CPU supports 800, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.9 but I can't get it to use any of them! Can anyone help me with that? or to turn it off. [22:28] tgp1994: the SD card is in your ubuntu box now? you have a command prompts up? [22:28] geoffb: Although somehow I think I remeber it almost working with my printer's memory reader... [22:28] geoffb: Yes. === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [22:28] blade^: can your mb support those other speeds? [22:29] tgp1994: do you know what device it is? also, what makes you think it's not working. Are you getting some sort of error message? [22:29] yeah, Zelda when I first installed it used to run at 1.14 constantly (even though that isnt supported) [22:29] hi would this be the right place to ask a question about rythembox? [22:29] when i m using synaptic to install something its trying to DL but no progress,but my internet connection is good now,why? [22:29] !ask | snowhouse [22:29] snowhouse: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:29] Hi guys! Anyone know a good scanner that works well with xsane? [22:29] but I played with the governors trying to fix it and now it's gone all wrong [22:29] can anyone please tell me how can i solve this problem,i m very new in linux(ubuntu) [22:29] geoffb: Well, right away five devices pop up, which I'm assuming is the card reader its self registering five ports with linux, so I'm not sure which port the mem card is in. [22:29] hey whats the name of the disk utility the karmic uses instead of gparted? [22:29] Blade^: check to see if there is cmos update for your board. [22:29] using kubuntu [22:29] how do I do that Zelda ? [22:29] sab_: what are you trying to download with synaptic? Is it a package in a normal repository or a third party? [22:30] nerdy_kid: I think it's Partition Manager straight up. [22:30] anyone know what would cause a remote app (via ssh -X) to spawn a windows that has a transparent background rather than filled? [22:30] for the record, it works brilliantly on my dads laptop downstairs he just installed it [22:30] histo, amarok [22:30] What's wrong with gparted? [22:30] and his laptop is very similar to mine [22:30] sab_, how is synaptic not working, explain what it's doing pls. [22:30] im assuming thats your issue. if it wasnt supported from the get go. [22:30] tgp1994 i think it was called palpiset or something like that [22:30] maybe there has been an update to "unlock" that feature [22:30] the remote system is Solaris [22:30] BlaDe^: have you enabled the scaling tool? [22:30] nerdy_kid: I dunno, in KDE's software manager I see Partition Manager, as is. [22:30] tgp1994: trial and error my friend... :-D actually, no... if you get a command prompt up... "sudo dmesg" right after you've plugged it in should give you some info about those five devices, and whether any of them have an actual disk in it (And yes, that almost certainly is the card reader waking up) [22:31] BlaDe^: you can disable scaling and see how high it goes wiht he tool [22:31] tgp1994 yeah im looking to install that in my kubuntu :( [22:31] geoffb: Ya, I think I posted a log from that, do you want the link? [22:31] so when i plug my ipod into rythmebox, it asks whether i want to set it up or not (which i do) and when i enter in what model it is and what i want the name to be it gives me an error [22:31] tgp1994: yes pls [22:31] how can i find out which sound architecture my ubuntu is currently using? [22:31] BlaDe^: right click on panel and add to panel. Add the cpu frequency scaling monitor [22:31] nerdy_kid: Ya, what I did was just search for "part" and then get the first thing that isn't a library or gparted [22:31] geoffb: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2zRLxbJq [22:31] BluesKaj-Laptop, well before few hours ago when i was using synaptic to DL something it was working properly,now when i trying to install something it just stop on DL process,i mean no progress at all [22:31] histo: yes I havae that, but it isn't working [22:32] it oesnt let me use the selector (Even if I try and select speeds manually using cpufreq-selector) and all the governors have 800MHz-800MHz scales in cpufreq-info [22:32] hi, i have lg 2486l monitor and it goes power saving mode during boot...how will i fix it.. thanks. [22:32] Tgp1994 you said nothing above about SCSI. [22:32] tgp1994 hmm ok...i cant find it via google and its not showing in synaptic. i am using lucid, maybe they renamed it or something [22:32] hi [22:32] (What a strange morning... I've just woken up, halfway through my first coffee, I'm supposed to be downstairs diagnosing an electrical problem wiht my motorcycle and somehow I find myself sitting in #ubuntu solving a Wii problem with Zelda, Twighlight Princess looking over my shoulder :-D ) [22:32] it says "problem creating ipod directory or file '/media/ipod/ipod_control/artwork'. [22:32] BlaDe^: if you left click on the monitor do you have higher speeds availible? [22:32] Curly_Q: I didn't think that really applied to memory cards, so I was just thinking that was the default for nothing pluggied in :S [22:33] yes histo [22:33] It does. [22:33] why is apt-get update saying my firefox-3.5 is being held back? [22:33] It has everything to do with it. [22:33] nerdy_kid: You're using synpatic? Then gparted should be no issue. [22:33] 800MHz, 1.6, 1.8, 1.9 === darkhazard is now known as aperson [22:33] ug, tgp1994, that tells me sweet nothing :-D Plan B: trial and error.... [22:33] geoffb: Lol [22:33] BlaDe^: click on 1.9 then [22:33] histo: re-read what I said [22:33] tgp1994: wait... do you need the stuff that's already on the card? [22:33] It looks like a RAID array to me. [22:33] geoffb: Not at all. A nuke would be fine. [22:33] i got 10.04 beta and every other day i have updates which are around 100mb sometimes even way more. what's up with that? all in all i think i've d/led updates worth more than 600 MB! [22:34] Curly_Q: RAID? Lol, this is getting out of proportions. [22:34] sab_, make sure you have just one instance of synaptic open at one time [22:34] tgp1994 well this program could create LUKS partitions that gparted cant; unless there is an easy way to do that. [22:34] !lucid | reborn [22:34] reborn: 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 [22:34] nerdy_kid: So you're looking for a specific program? [22:34] BluesKaj-Laptop, ya [22:34] BluesKaj-Laptop, but tell me how to stop everything and can restart again [22:35] tgp1994 yeah i am looking for the disk utility GNOME uses. think its called palpiset. sorry didnt mean to be confusing [22:35] ok, if a nuke would be fine, then will someone who knows about gparted buy in please... does gparted have a gui, can it figure out which of these devices has an SD card in it and... then create a single FAT16 partition on the card??? [22:35] Tgp1994 I just looked at your post: example: Apr 13 17:04:35 tgpserv kernel: [ 6615.217939] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [22:35] BlaDe^: I have no idea then. usually this stuff is pretty trivial all power management. How old or new is your hardware? [22:35] tgp1994: I could talk you through command line stuff, I'm not much good on gui stuff, but maybe that's doing it the hard way. [22:35] sab_, just close synaptic and try again [22:35] BlaDe^: and is a custom built machine? Or does it have a make/model? [22:35] my laptop is an acer aspire 7520 - it's relatively new [22:35] nerdy_kid: Oh, I just mis-intperreted your OP. Sorry, I guess that's it for my knowledge :P [22:35] by that I mean like 2 years [22:35] BlaDe^: let me check something [22:35] anyone able to help me? think my apache server no working - i had mythtv installed and mythweb was working perfectly - but now since i did an update it's not working. any suggestions [22:36] ok [22:36] help [22:36] tgp1994 ok thanks anyway :) [22:36] Tgp1994 which brings us right back to logical partitions for a RAID array. [22:36] tgp1994: what I would do next is 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' then use 'p' to show what's on the device, if anything, wash, rinse, repeat for each of the others... sdc, sdd, sde, sdf [22:36] geoffb: Ok, will do. [22:36] tgp1994: but there's probably an easier way.... anyone? [22:36] gspence___ what is the status of apache? [22:36] Curly_Q: Lol, I can't image a wii making logical partitions [22:37] zaxonspox - how do i check that? [22:37] BlaDe^: what version of ubuntu are you running? [22:37] BluesKaj, its the same its stop on downloading file 13of 13,no progress at all,before it was ok [22:37] gspence__ can you type localhost in browser url? [22:37] geoffb: Failed for all of them, unable to open /dev/sd* [22:37] Perhaps that is the logic behind the device and is the reason why you cannot figure it out. [22:37] is ext4 safe for a backup drive? [22:38] Curly_Q: the Wii itself isn't terribly smart... this is a partition made by a third party 'homebrew' app... it should be one of two partition types... actually, it SHOULD simply be Fat16... the utilities for Wii are pretty basic, they don't do elaborate stuff like raid [22:38] Curly_Q: So would I have to look for whatever three letter device is behind it? I guess I don't understand logical partitions too well. [22:38] hi [22:38] histo: 9.1 [22:38] tgp1994: is the SD card good? maybe it's crapped itself? [22:38] geoffb: I guess I might have misled you and everyone else helping me, it was the wii software it self that formatted i. [22:38] *it. [22:38] sab_, what are you trying to install ? [22:39] BluesKaj, amarok [22:39] tgp1994: ok, no worries... wait, I'm gonna go tell my wii to format a card and see what it does with it.... (hope it doesn't fry a card! lol) [22:39] geoffb: Heh [22:39] Mount it as sddb sddc sdde etc. [22:39] should i use ext3 or ext4 for a backup drive? [22:39] Curly_Q: Really? Wait, should I just look in my dev folder for any four lettered drives? [22:40] nerdy_kid: ext4 [22:40] melik, why not fat32? [22:40] melik ok thanks :) [22:40] BlaDe^: I'm not finding anyone else withthe same problem. Perhaps someone else can provide some insight. [22:40] Curly_Q: Hmm... don't see any four lettered devices under sd**, or is it supposed to be not visible? [22:41] dogdogdog: ext* has less data corruption, and i'm assuming he doesn't need a FS compatible with windows [22:41] BluesKaj, its give me massege like "connection failed" but my internet connection is good [22:41] sab_, you may have a dependency problem ..libraries that you don't have that amarok needs. Make sure you have all the sources enabled in amarok , including 3rdparty software [22:41] Good question. I like your inquisitiveness. Hidden might be it. [22:41] histo it was running at 1.14 previously, but I played with the governors trying to set the max to 1.9 and i've buggered it completely [22:41] what's it mean when i can't create a folder (file exist) and i can't remove it? (no such device or address) [22:41] sometimes it used to run at 1.4 too... in perfomance.. was weird [22:41] tgp1994: how do I make the Wii format the card? [22:42] Curly_Q: Actually, I better go look up logical partitions :S I have no clue how this works. === andatche_ is now known as andatche [22:42] in the replies here: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ [22:42] BlaDe^: what where you playing with to change it? [22:42] some people say they are stuck at 800MHz too [22:42] tgp1994 ahhh found it! its gnome-disk-utility -- they did rename it lol [22:42] geoffb: I believe in your settings menu, there's a card management section [22:42] cpufreq-set -f/-d/-u [22:42] BluesKaj, i m new in linux(ubuntu) [22:42] nerdy_kid: Alright :D [22:42] BluesKaj, can you please tell me what to do on cli [22:42] are there any ppa available that have the 64 bit drivers for a canon mp250? [22:42] Tgp1994 here: http://www.basicconfig.com/linux/linux_fdisk_command_check_hard_disk_partitions [22:43] Curly_Q: Alright, thanks. [22:43] BlaDe^: thats also very old post [22:43] yeah indeed [22:43] sab_,sorry i meant to say : you may have a dependency problem ..libraries that you don't have that amarok needs. Make sure you have all the sources enabled in synaptic , including 3rdparty software [22:43] Curly_Q: Wait, that seems familiar :( Don't I want to figure out the device name first? [22:44] Tgp1994, simply put, a LOGICAL PARTITION is just a separation of either a disk or drive that is totally isolated from each other partition. [22:44] BlaDe^: I would start by returning it to defaults [22:44] how do I do that? [22:45] hello, i'm using ubuntu desktop and I wanna connect remotely through a VNC connection. Which is the best VNC server/client out there????? [22:45] eth0 and eht1 keep switching [22:45] !best | KamaL [22:45] KamaL: 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. [22:45] so that sometimes my wicd wont find the network until reboot [22:45] !vino > KamaL [22:45] this is the question. what is your answer [22:45] KamaL: vino i the default client [22:45] Curly_Q: Hmmmmmmmm... So that makes the drive mostly invisible... and the partitions as they are? But wait, is windows supposed to be able to recognize Logical partitions as is? [22:46] Curly_Q: And ls -a did not reveal any hidden devices with sd** :( [22:46] no... you didn't get what I mean [22:46] I wanna connect from my home windows PC to the remote ubuntu server running desktop [22:46] i wanted to see what's the best way to connect [22:47] right now i'm using ultraVNC - but find it limited [22:47] Tgp1994, an other way to say it is that a LOGICAL PARTITION is basically seen by the OS as a SEPARATE hard drive. Does that make sense? [22:47] Curly_Q: I'm almost afraid that the card reader doesn't support SDHC cards :S Which would I guess make sense. The thing hardly fits, anyways. [22:47] tgp1994: can't figure out how to format an SD card. my wii is refusing to use it until I put a partition on it already [22:47] KamaL: whats limited about it? [22:47] Curly_Q: Ah, that does. And it always follows the naming scheme with four letters only? [22:48] KamaL: and vino is the default server installed in ubuntu is what I was saying. [22:48] KamaL: vino is a vnc server [22:48] histo: how do I reset to defaults? [22:48] geoffb: Interesting, could SanDisk have put some sort of bobby trapped partition on it? [22:48] each time I run the vnc4server command so i can connect remotely [22:48] Yes. <______< Tgp1994 has seen the light. :) [22:48] BlaDe^: you'd have to find otu what file its editing with your settings [22:48] maybe the nxclient is better? [22:48] Curly_Q: :D [22:48] lol [22:48] BlaDe^: most likely somewhere in /etc [22:49] geoffb: Lemme look at my wii, and get back to you. [22:49] KamaL: have you tried using the tight encoding [22:49] Anyone know what it mean when i can't create a folder (file exist) and i can't remove it? (no such device or address)? [22:49] KamaL: speeds things up quite a bit [22:49] Wonder if anyone can help -- when I try to play mp3s in totem, I get this error when it tries to download codecs: "No packages with the requested plugins found [MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder]" [22:49] histo: u mean tightVNC? [22:49] KamaL: no I mean tight encoding [22:49] cpufreq.d probably histo [22:49] tgp1994: I'm using an sdhc micro card... when the wii wouldn't partition it, I used linux / dd if=/dev/zero to wipe out the beginning of the card... Wii just said "nup, ain't touchin' that" [22:50] Hello, is there a way to have ifup / ifdown scripts NOT restart iSCSI on Ubuntu 9.10? [22:50] KamaL: but tightvnc has it [22:50] you need the hp format utility [22:50] to restore usb key drives [22:50] !vnc | KamaL [22:50] KamaL: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [22:50] i'm using this command [22:50] tightvncserver -geometry 1366x768 -depth 24 [22:50] is it ok? [22:50] Linux Newbe here, I have a fresh install of Unbuntu and do not have sound working. The PC was working with Windows, playing an MP3 to test with VLC and VLC seems to be playing but no sound. I tried all the jacks on the PC and did a check to see if a card was detected. I'm not sure but... [22:51] cat /proc/asound/cards [22:51] 0 [ICH ]: NFORCE - Intel ICH [22:51] Intel ICH with ALC655 at irq 23 [22:51] KamaL: yeah but your really dont' need a color depth of 24 do you for remote desktop? [22:51] KamaL: also make sure your windows client is specifying tight encoding [22:51] is there any way to invoke cp or mv so that it tells you its progress? [22:51] histo: done [22:51] geoffb: Actually I went to the settings menu, wii system settings, and then near the end of it there was a Format Wii System Memory, wish ironically does not format the system memory, but any SD** card inserted :P And I have SW version 4.0U, how about you? [22:52] uchobby are you suer you havent muted in seetings? [22:52] KamaL: is it still to slow then? [22:52] I hoped that helped Tgp1994. I must go for now. Hope to see you again. If you see me again please let me know how things worked out. I hope everyone here has a nice day. [22:52] tgp1994: (see my pm just now).... yes, I saw that... I didn't use it though! I'm using 4.2E [22:52] uchobby, make sure the alsamixer ctrls in the terminal not Muted (M) and are craked to 75% or better [22:52] KamaL: i'm not really following what you mean by its limited? [22:53] hi, I tried to upload a package to my ppa, but if I run dput I get: Please select a .changes file to upload. Tried to upload: build [22:53] Darn, all the wii helpers are leaving :P [22:53] how to use uint8_t types in gcc? [22:53] C y'all. [22:53] I tried turning up the volume on ever setting in alsamixer [22:53] though I provide the .changes file [22:53] Hey, complete newb here.. Trying to figure out why a startup script doesn't work... Wondering what the different is between #!/bin/sh and #!/bin/bash at the beg of a script?

The problem i'm having is with the command afterwards. It doesn't seem to be running [22:54] that's what i want, homiies [22:54] histo: what's a good color depth? [22:54] 16 is enough? [22:54] KamaL: sure. [22:54] Such as wget [22:54] magicianlord, depends what you are trying to format for, gparted is the best in general, unetbootin is good if you want to install another distro via usb === kost{a}s_thess is now known as kostas_thess [22:54] * kostas_thess is back. [22:55] KamaL: you can also try freenx everything is free so there's really no trouble from tryign different ones [22:55] !freenx > KamaL [22:55] KamaL, please see my private message [22:55] i have used gparted, but i want a command lnie utility only. i understand that parted works as well, but does it require specification of cylinders and such? [22:55] hi all, I'm still pretty new to arch, anyway i'm using e17, and I had gotten the wireless working last night, but now my wireless no longer works, i get two "ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument" errors. I am using the rtl8191seVA1 driver on an asus 1201n. Does nayone know how to fix this??? [22:55] !paste > HelloKitten [22:55] HelloKitten, please see my private message [22:55] tgp1994: my wii was happy to look at the SD card once I fdisked it and put a fat16 partition on it.... (fdisk /dev/sd?, create new partition, type '6', write) (mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sd?). You hsould, I suggest, try to figure out if the SD card is good... if linux isn't finding it, I'm gonna ask questions about the card itself. It's not uncommon for those to die [22:55] magicianlord: Maybe you might like fparted, isn't that gui? [22:55] HelloKitten wget dont work? what you want to donwload with it? does the link is right? [22:55] fparted? havent tried it [22:55] capleton: maybe you should ask in an arch linux room [22:56] i just need to be able to format drives [22:56] tgp1994: gparted is the gui [22:56] histo: any advantage over tightvnc? [22:56] geoffb: Alright. (I still don't think it's dead since the HB channel can still read files off of it.) [22:56] and in case an image is written, restore them to max capacity, like the hp format utility on windows [22:56] histo: I was kind of meaning like terminal-gui-ish. [22:56] magicianlord: no you don't have to specify cylanders [22:56] magicianlord: there is also cfdisk [22:56] histo: I know there is some sort of parted program that has a gui-ish look to it, but in the terminal. [22:56] tgp1994: ahh [22:56] cfdisk is part of my distro [22:56] histo: Ya, that's the ticket. [22:57] is that safe to use? [22:57] magicianlord: If you know what you're doin :) [22:57] magicianlord: safe to use for what? [22:57] Heh [22:57] for formatt drives, without blowing up your system partitino [22:57] formatting [22:57] i am very scared of scerwing up my install [22:57] magicianlord: Hmm... might want to try VMWare. Or openbox. [22:57] what [22:58] magicianlord: safe as milk [22:58] im using openbox [22:58] i mean a format utility [22:58] ill stick with cfdisk and learn it hten [22:58] magicianlord: They're both Virtual Machine "hosts" I suppose, very safe. they don't touch your HD in terms of partiting. [22:58] thanks, homie [22:58] histo: thx for the help :) [22:58] magicianlord: I'm not sure if you can format with cfdisk [22:58] *partioning [22:58] KamaL: np [22:58] ok [22:58] is there one utility to format and partition? [22:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/413948/ - The contents of my loader file [22:59] im looking for hte equivalent to what windows does [22:59] magicianlord: You can format a partition if that's what you mean :) [22:59] magicianlord: You mean right clicking on the usb disk and stuff? [22:59] dude [22:59] The command s3cmd is installed and functional outside of that script [22:59] magicianlord: you can use parted to format but its kind of confusin if you are new. [23:00] what's it mean when i can't create a folder (file exist) and i can't remove it? (no such device or address) [23:00] magicianlord: there are plenty of utilities [23:00] histo: i'll try 10.04 see if that fixes it [23:00] i mean just taking a new usb drive, remove all partitions, repartitiong to one or more partitions, and then formatting then individually. if i want to do all those steps, i need a utility that allows it in a few seconds [23:00] magicianlord: do you want a console based one or a GUI one [23:00] Ya, and there is a linux based distro called partition magic, but pointless to get if you already have gparted. [23:00] I have nothing to lose [23:00] console based [23:00] hy, testing beta, How do i map a keyboard shortcut to change my keyboard layout? on lucid, karmic worked fine.... [23:00] magicianlord: like text based right? [23:00] magicianlord: there are plenty of linux utilities for that, do a search [23:00] yes [23:00] text based [23:00] terminal [23:01] magicianlord: well your default isntall has cfdisk for partitioning and mkfs for formating [23:01] i use term for everything unless i need to view the internet [23:01] oh ok [23:01] i will man those [23:02] Mr Rogers uses BitchX, shouldn't you?

[23:59] hello, I created a RAID array using disk utility in 10.4, but it doesn't start at boot. Can anyone advise me how to get the array to start at boot (it's mounting as /home)?
