[00:00] !lucid > kfarrell [00:00] kfarrell, please see my private message [00:00] kfarrell: lucid/10.04 discussoin/issues in #ubuntu+1 [00:00] gino make a live cd, have you dont hat yet? [00:00] well i downloaded the version 9.10 with the intel architecture but i have an AMD cpu but i cant seem to find the download on the official site [00:00] rc.local support md5 entries ? [00:00] Hey histo! [00:01] gino it works on AMD. there is no special download. [00:01] Gino: do you ahve a 64bit cpu? [00:01] nope [00:01] Gino: okay then you have the right cd [00:01] gino, in fact you can take the same hard drive and more it from one (intel or amd) computer to another and IT KEEPS WORKING. [00:01] i see === nirvous is now known as nirvous^away [00:02] histo; how about my issue. I want fonts. just one font actually. [00:02] tripelb: what font are you looking for? [00:02] rc.local support md5 entries to hide psswor just like grub does ? [00:02] well the thing is i followed some guide where it explains on to create a bootable USB stick but when i try to boot with it i get some blue screen with "Default" "help" and "EOM" and when i press enter on default it says, Booting in 10 secs and then it repeats it without doing anything [00:04] Gino: that does not sound like the normal ubuntu boot. Perhaps somethign went wrong when you were created the usb stick. The default installation cd for ubuntu is a live cd. You can boot that and hav ea workign system without touching your hardrive. You can also create a usb boot stick from the live cd. [00:04] Can anyone point me to how the Mouse Preferences panel decides whether your touchpad supports two-finger scrolling? [00:04] PacketCollision: under the Touchpad tab [00:05] HelloKitten: see http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/message.jspa?messageID=159290 [00:05] histo => it worked like a charm, thx a bunch!!! [00:05] hi [00:05] i have a problem whith wifi interface [00:06] what is the channel for off topic stuff? like how much better the new theme is :) [00:06] histo,Yes, I know where it is. I'm asking what it uses to determine whether the option should be disabled or not [00:06] alex_08=> sry i missed your private chat, didnt c it till a minute ago, but thx a lot 2 u 2!!! [00:06] my english is not too good so, sorry if it is not easy to understand me :) [00:06] PacketCollision: wether you check it or not [00:07] thx a lot evry1 & keep the good work! [00:07] does anyone know where i can buy a vapochill? [00:07] PacketCollision: believe its disabled by default [00:07] the vapochill Lightspeed AC [00:07] !ot > picard1421 [00:07] picard1421, please see my private message [00:07] histo, On my computer, the option is greyed out [00:07] PacketCollision: ahh [00:07] histo, and I want to find out where it decides that it should be greyed out [00:07] so that I can write a patch [00:07] whats the terminal command to suspend/sleep in ubuntu server? [00:07] because it works perfectly on my computer if I manually enable it via xinput command [00:08] from 9.10 and onwards [00:08] heg, checking it out. [00:10] What is the command to uninstall ./bin file? [00:10] KettleCorn: sudo shutdown -H now maybe? [00:10] nick eteach [00:11] histo: that just shuts down the computer? what are you implying? [00:11] KettleCorn: you want sleep or hybernate? === sundowner is now known as dougsko [00:12] histo: not sure which is which, but I want the harddrives to stop spinning at least, but I also want the mode that is the easiest to wake the computer from [00:13] KettleCorn: that would be suspend (to ram). Hibernate saves all ram to disk and then turns the computer completely off [00:13] KettleCorn: well power management should spin down the drivers etc.. if you have acpi enabled === system is now known as Guest79419 [00:14] KettleCorn, try running /etc/acpi/sleep.sh [00:14] KettleCorn: i'm still trying to figure out the best way to do it in console [00:14] hey, im really new to the whole computer thing and linux even more so. could some or a group of people explain irc and how it works [00:14] PacketCollision: ok I'll try that as well, I just did pm-suspend and it appeared to have been turned off [00:14] histo: you want a "pause mode"(sleep) or a shutdown that will resume everything?(hibernate) [00:14] !pm | Altin [00:14] Altin: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:15] KettleCorn, pm-suspend should work fine, that's what the acpi script calls anyway [00:15] ... [00:16] histo: sorry, tabfail+ typo [00:16] * tatsel frowns [00:16] PacketCollision: do you know if it's possible to wake the computer externally somehow? can putty send some form of WOL-packet or something? never done anyhting like that, just curious if you happen to know [00:16] KettleCorn: you may want to look at setterm for power down options [00:16] KettleCorn: you could wake on lan or something [00:16] KettleCorn: if your nic supports it. [00:17] KettleCorn, Yes, you should be able to use WakeOnLAN, although I've never really had much luck with it [00:17] KettleCorn, Make sure it's enabled in the BIOS [00:17] same here [00:17] ubottu:Thanks for ur information. I just want to know what is the command to uninstall .bin file [00:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:17] woah. [00:17] when I type /etc/init.d/vsftpd start nothing happens, any ideas? [00:17] KettleCorn: actually setterm will only control the monitor [00:18] izola86: what ar eyou trying to do? [00:18] PacketCollision: woohoo, I'm using Tomato on my Linksys router, and I could just click the IP-adress of the computer under the WOL section and it woke up! [00:18] histo: im trying to remove vsftpd and install it clean [00:18] KettleCorn: pm-suspend [00:18] i sudo rm -r sftpd.conf and tried to reinstall but it wouldn't come back [00:18] KettleCorn: sweet [00:18] KettleCorn: thats what you are looking for. [00:19] KettleCorn, Nice. I'll have to try that the next time I accidentally let a computer suspend and I need to ssh in (I use Tomato too) [00:19] histo: with sudo aptitude install vsftpd [00:19] KettleCorn: how do you like that tomato? [00:19] histo: it's really nice! best router firmware I've ever used [00:19] izola86: sudo apt-get purge vsftpd [00:19] izola86: then sudo apt-get install vsftpd [00:19] * tatsel trows a tomato at his netgear [00:20] KettleCorn: i have to put it on mine have nothing but lockups withthe stock firmware althought its been behaving lately [00:20] histo: i love you [00:20] histo, I agree, it's by far the best router firmware. I actually use a variant that supports open-vpn, and it's great. [00:20] all that's left to do now is make sure I can wake on lan from outside my network [00:20] nah, it's a 2wire... [00:20] izola86: #love [00:20] * tatsel giggles [00:21] PacketCollision: yeah that's the one I use too, has VPN Tunneling. not that I have any use for it, but I thought I did until I managed to connect to the office VPN in an eaiser way [00:22] histo: Any idea what is the command to uninstall ./bin file [00:22] I use it so that I don't have to open ssh up to the world on my (ubuntu) servers. VPN in, then ssh, but from home, I the tomato router takes care of the vpn [00:22] hey I am on kubuntu... I hate it. how can I install gnome so I can switch to that? [00:22] Altin: some bins have uninstall switches others you have to go and manually remove the files [00:23] Altin: what is the bin? [00:23] I tried apt-get install gnome and it complained :( [00:23] Altin: none of us know what the file is. Since it's not an ubuntu package, there's no one answer [00:23] jrcarr2: what was the error? [00:23] !gnome [00:23] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [00:23] :o [00:23] jrcarr2: and yes you can install ubuntu-desktop or just gnome if you want. [00:23] first try \o/ [00:23] The file is j2sdk-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin [00:24] gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.22.2~4ubuntu8) but it is not going to be installed [00:24] jrcarr2: check your software sources [00:24] Altin: what happens if you type ./j2sdk-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin --help [00:24] jrcarr2: and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome or sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop [00:25] Altin: you may get lucky that it has a --uninstall switch [00:25] I'm having network connectivity issues with non-ubuntu linux distribution. Would anyone like to help, or suggest a more appropriate channel? [00:25] shawnboy: what distro? [00:25] (distro is Linux Router Project running from floppy) [00:25] oh, they call it Ubuntu Desktop [00:25] I see [00:25] shawnboy, try ##linux [00:26] shawnboy: i'm pretty sure they hare defunct [00:27] yes, it's old, but seems like I should still get connectivity, histo . Not even really using it as router. Trying this: http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/printsrv/ [00:27] jrcarr2: thats the meta package just like kubuntu-desktop is the meta package for the default install of kubuntu. But you can just isntall gnome [00:27] how would i go about backing up the bootloader and not the partition table? i plan to install another OS and want to be able to just restore the bootloader afterwards [00:27] PacketCollision, I'll try. Thank you. [00:27] shawnboy: you could just go with ubuntu-minimal and cups [00:28] shawnboy: or lpr/lpd [00:28] ^\ [00:28] histo, thanks but would any of those run from one floppy? no hdd? [00:29] shawnboy: uhm.. no. you'd have to boot someone and load in to ram [00:29] shawnboy: with no hdd [00:29] shawnboy: ubuntu is too big but there are other distro's i'm sure that may floppy load [00:29] dsl might fit [00:30] shawnboy: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/ [00:30] Fishscene: dsl is like 50megs [00:30] nvm then :P [00:30] histo, thanks for the tip. Maybe I can find a suitable replacement. [00:30] shawnboy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Linux [00:30] shawnboy: I would find something thats a little more supported [00:31] shawnboy: problem being the newer kernels are so big. thats why you 're goign to be stuck with an older kernel. [00:31] histo, yes, more supported would be nice. I was hoping to get this working on my old slow pc though. I'll keep fiddling and look at the links you suggest. [00:32] how do i install grub2 from a livecd? if my grub is wiped out and i want it back i need to restore it somehow [00:32] Hi, i've got a little problem with a dedicated server that crashed and is not booting any longer (Last message in /var/log/dmesg and messages is HDA Intel 0000:01:05.2: PCI INT B -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19) === zomgwtf is now known as cr4k3r [00:32] shawnboy: yeah it can be done. [00:32] shawnboy: would be much easier with an old hdd [00:33] !grub | blendmaster1024 [00:33] blendmaster1024: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [00:33] Exterminans: what happens now when you try to boot? [00:33] histo, I may have to go that route. I probably have an old hdd. I just thought it'd be cool to have a print server running from floppy. :) [00:33] histo, I just want some avant-garde font. I looked to install fonts in ubuntu and it's a word salad of pages that dont do it and instructions that dont follow and end up no where. [00:33] shawnboy: would be neat and can be accomplished [00:34] histo: my local_umask is set for 002 but i am get permissions of -rw-r--r-- , any ideas? [00:34] histo, especially since the ONLY things it needs to do is print and be on network. [00:34] tripelb: open nautilus and browse to fonts:/ [00:34] hi im running the command [00:34] sudo iwconfig ra0 power on [00:34] ahha i created it lol [00:34] histo: The server becomes pingable, but nothing more. The message is the last one i see when opening the logs from a liveimage [00:34] and my wifi card returns [00:34] Error for wireless request 'set power management' (8DB2): [00:34] GET failed on device ra0: Operation not supported [00:34] oh sry [00:34] histo, that's great. i'm looking for a specific command to install grub from a chroot, so i can reinstall grub and use my old configuration file [00:35] anyone got ideas why [00:35] liminal: does it have a physical switch? [00:35] a physical switch? [00:35] blendmaster1024: grub-install [00:35] as in is it turned on? [00:35] <_CommandeR_> guys i need some assistance, I installed Lucid Lynx and it worked good then after i installed Windows 7 on another partition but on the same harddrive grub2 is no longer booting and only windows 7 starts is there way to restore grub2? [00:35] liminal: yes like on laptops [00:35] its not a laptop, its pci [00:35] and I can talk to the card [00:35] histo: Tried 3 times so far, allways only the message with HDA Intel so i guess it causes a freeze [00:35] !grub | _CommandeR_ [00:35] _CommandeR_: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [00:35] Packetcollision: No help for bin. easiest way is to remove the folder where it is extracted [00:36] liminal: then why do you think its off? [00:36] histo, yes, but will it work from a chroot? or do i need a chroot? how do i keep my old configuration partition and directory? [00:36] Anyone know how to set default file permissions for vsftpd uploads? [00:36] Changing local_umask doesn't seem to do anything [00:36] i dont, but when try to connect to my wep network it wont [00:36] and its only picking up one weak signal [00:36] there are many in the area [00:37] blendmaster1024: the link from ubottu will explain how to retore it. the config is in /etc/default/grub [00:37] liminal: what kind of card? [00:38] EW-7728In [00:38] izola86: I remember someone else having the exact same problem not to long ago. Trying to remember the fix. [00:38] liminal: whats lspci say the card is? [00:38] histo, of course there is nothing that says nautilus and nothing that says browse to. haha so I have to UNDERSTAND somehow that you mean go to places, go to control-f put in fonts. OK now how can I find out what is the pwd for those files? This is totally beyond me. [00:38] histo: thanks a lot, this is driving me insane. [00:38] tripelb: ctrl+l will open the browse to [00:39] 01:05.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI [1814:0601] [00:39] histo control i does nothing controlshift I choses all my icons. [00:40] * tripelb is beyond help with ubuntu. It is a constant project. [00:40] tripelb: ctrl+l opens a location dialog just below back and forard. hold up i'll get you the terminal command to launch it. [00:40] guys i have a question. what would the problem be. if the CD refuses to install at all costs no matter how i partition the drive. on the hard drive i formated it to EXT4 and it still says 4 GIG used then when i tried to install it stops and gives me a DVD/CD and/or a HDD error. is the drive filled with bad sectors? I dont finish the install no matter what CD i use. even if i use my external DVD drive. its not the CD drive or the CD itse [00:40] lf ( tried multiple ones) can any1 tell me what could it be? i thought the even with bad sectors it still should install. or is the HDD locked? [00:40] izola86: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/umask-ing-with-vsftpd-635722/ [00:40] <_silentAssassin> allchan say goodnight [00:41] hello all [00:41] histo: thanks [00:42] izola86: make sure you are editing the proper file as well. [00:42] raj: which installer are you using the GUI? [00:42] I would like to have maximum desktop effects in ubuntu lucid lynx beta. Esp., the crashing window on close a window. How do i achive that? [00:43] liminal: is there anything in System > admin > hardware drivers for your wifi card? [00:43] bogor: /j #ubuntu+1 [00:44] histo: I'm editing /etc/vsftpd.conf, don't know of another file [00:44] histo: the GUI and alternative install.. could a bad drive do this? i mean i can partition and do eerything i want it would still show used space no matter how i partition it. then everything is fine untill i install [00:44] izola86: just make sureyou restart vsftpd after making changes. [00:44] izola86: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart [00:44] histo: could there be something overiding the local_umask? [00:45] raj: thats wierd that its showing used space. [00:45] izola86: there are two umask settings I believe for vsftpd.conf [00:45] histo: could be a bad drive / sector [00:46] I can't open the virtual terminal by pressing ctrl + alt + f1. It doesn't appear? [00:46] izola86: you need to set the file_open_mode [00:46] Hi everyone, for those of you who were here when I had my originial problem I could not get Ubuntu (more specifically, KuBunut) to detect an SDHC card in a card reader. The card reader automatically registers 5 devices with linux, however, I could not fdisk nor mount any of those 5 devices. They all show up as "SCSI" devices. This card is originally formatted in the Wii, and I do not mind nuking the card. If anyone can help, that [00:46] would be great. [00:46] izola86: those are the permissions with which uploaded files are created. [00:47] izola86: umasks are applied on top of that. [00:47] histo I was doing cntl i this is L [00:47] tripelb: yes L not i [00:47] histo I was doing cntl i this is L -- ah "cound not display fonts. nautilus cannot handle this kind of location.

[00:50] liminal: I have no idea yeah thats just odd I saw someoen else on the forums complaining of ping spikes and bad reliability with your exact card. [00:50] I'm using ubuntu for the first time in a few years. Trying to install my swedish dvorak keymap. It's a .map file where do i put it and how do a activate the keymap? [00:50] histo: i went to that page BEFORE I came here asking. I dont just ask without doing the most I can by myself. [00:51] Anyone using Ubuntu on a Dell Studio XPS 16? [00:51] Hello all. Ubuntu has lost my CDROM and I cant access it from the desktop anymore. [00:51] tripelb: sry most people don't bother checking. Do you ahve the font downloaded? [00:51] what card would you recommend? [00:51] It worked fine until last week and for no apparent reason (none that I can see at least) i need to be root to mount, un-mount, eject etc. None of my cd's will autostart anymore...how do I access the CDROM again. [00:52] liminal: there is a compatiblity list in the wiki i believe. [00:52] i think this card is in that list [00:52] :( [00:52] izola86: are these anonymous users? [00:52] My virtual terminal will not open with ctrl + alt + f1 or ctrl + alt + f6? [00:53] Didn't Ubuntu disable opening virtual terminals? I don't know how to enable them though..

[00:55] where is the wiki? [00:55] tripelb: Er, if you just want the fonts for your user, can't you just drop them in ~/.fonts ? [00:55] izola86: remember umask values are differnt than normal values [00:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [00:56] histo: I am using 0000 so it shouldn't mask anything [00:56] for just a break, something to laff at http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.120756167.jpg [00:56] izola86: you want only the file owner to read?

[00:57] histo: yes it is local_umask=0000 [00:58] izola86: yeah that was the problem is umask values are different [00:58] histo: yes, but the file default permissions haven't changed [00:59] tripelb: ~/.fonts/ is a path in your home directory, if it doesn't exist, create it. [00:59] izola86: you've reuploaded? [00:59] ????? [01:00] histo: lol yep, I've never experienced something so insane. Is it possible to write a rule to say that the folder has a permission defaults for new files? [01:00] hey, does anyone use Evolution mail on here?

Then how to install it. Thank you.

I'm on Mint but there's nobody on the Mint channel and it's close enough. Anyway, I'm having issues with my memory buffer. It's growing at a ridiculous rate and now I have about 600 MB being used despite running LXDE. Is there any way to stop it? [01:20] !mint | kharnov [01:20] kharnov: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [01:21] Yes, but isn't there some general advice you could give me?

[01:29] I've been coming here for 3 weeks telling about my freezing problem and staying I thik it is from flash. This is what no-one told me, Claims it is how to fix flash. I will see what works but this is what I am doing --- FF Tweaks pages -- http://lovinglinux.megabyet.net/?page_id=220#Removing-Conflicting-Plugins-2 --- then search for these words to find the place I was in --> Ubuntu comes with swfdec plug-in, but it doesn’t work on several sites.

[01:29] hey geeks =) how are you people doing? ) [01:30] Curly_Q: Not quite :( But right now I'm trying to get the wii hooked up with my capture card so I can view it from my pc. Darn VirtualDub can't get any FPS higher than 16 FPS :( [01:30] linux, what's your problem? [01:30] tripelb: have you tried installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [01:30] progre55: fine how bout u? [01:30] johnwedd, do you know of any good apps for that? [01:30] wyclif__: awesome [01:30] My PC uses the Intel Brookedale G graphics card... and compiz won't work with it, neither will any 3D video acceleration. [01:31] Tgp1994 have you first found out that it is compatible with Linux and in what version of Linux supports it? [01:31] Ya, somehow my FPS like to lock in at 16~17 FPS, even though it's set for 29.97 [01:31] (corrected - yes jimbobco that's how I got flash to begin with. Medibuntu + old_gray_wolf post in Ubuntu forums) I've been coming here for 3 weeks telling about my freezing problem and saying I think it is from flash. I found some info that no one suggested. Claims it is how to fix flash. I will see what works but this is what I am doing --- FF Tweaks pages -- http://lovinglinux.megabyet.net/?page_id=220#Removing-Conflicting-Plugins-2 --- then search for [01:31] these words to find the place I was in --> Ubuntu comes with swfdec plug-in, but it doesn’t work on several sites. Installing the version from Adobe might solve this problem and improve performance. [01:31] Curly_Q: I'm hooking up the wii on my windows pc. [01:31] * wyclif___ is surfing eBay looking for ThinkPads to install Lubuntu on... [01:31] What happened to Linux hookup? [01:31] linux: Sounds like your drivers are using software rasterizer. Can you pastebin your X log? [01:32] I have, and I've come to some upsetting conclusions: 1. It worked in Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy, with an older XOrg driver (and something else called the INtel Experimental Modesetting driver) [01:32] worked perfectly. [01:32] Since 9.04 and up, it doesn't. [01:32] Curly_Q: I spose I could... the graphics card on this pc isn't so good, though. [01:32] jimbobco, how else could one get flash? clicking the install link on the web doesn;t do it. That one ends up saying "install manually" [01:32] And yes, I'll post my Xorg log [01:32] Curly_Q: And then I have to go through setting up the capture card drivers... I'll just do the viewing on he windows peeshee. [01:33] Tgp1994 if the graphics card for any computer is not supported, your problem will always exist. [01:33] Curly_Q: Are we talking about the same thing? [01:33] The thing that irritates me the most is that this card worked perfectly on 8.04. After Jaunty, nothing will work. [01:33] I hope so. [01:33] how do i downgrade a package? [01:33] * wyclif___ had to kill the damn avahi daemon [01:33] kermit: Why do you need to downgrade it? [01:34] Curly_Q: Ok... I still have the memory card not being recognized in computers problem. Right now though, I have a capture card, which I've hooked up to my windows pc. The FPS in virtual dub are jerkey and bad, so that's my priority #1. [01:34] soreau: because i liked it better than the newer versions [01:34] kharnov, not off hand, i only know slax and ubuntu [01:34] Kermit just uninstall it and then install a previous version. Dated. [01:34] Okay thanks anyway. [01:34] linux, if your card is ATI, ati dropped support on a whole bunch of card after 8.10 [01:34] kermit: Did you check synaptic already? [01:34] hey guys anyone care to help me with a basic issue [01:34] Curly_Q: yes thats what i'd like to do, how? [01:34] Man i forgot the command. How do I get to my X log? [01:34] linux, moved them to legacy [01:34] ! ask | Schizoid [01:34] Schizoid: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:34] Shaz: the card is Intel.

Like Rails, Grails, etc. Note I am not using a package because they are often dated [01:42] metrix: i'm not sure how specific the "authorzations" thing will let you get, but that's definitely the place to go for fine-grained permissions [01:42] ust drop it in /usr/lib?

You tell me that you are setting up Windows and then Linux with that SDHC card. [01:43] blkhatjames: transmission [01:43] but yes I will [01:43] oops :P [01:43] ty [01:43] blkhatjames: i like deluge [01:44] kermit: Does /var/cache/apt/archives/ have the deb package version you're wanting? [01:44] blkhatjames: but there is a torrent client included in ubuntu by default [01:44] Curly_Q: No, no :P I am using a capture card on windows to preview my wii on there, but that's irrelevant to the SDHC card. [01:44] blkhatjames: its called transmission [01:44] blkhatjames: transmission on linux, utorrent on Win [01:44] linux: That was the wrong thing to do. Remove the nvidia driver, restart your machine, then re-pastebin your X log [01:44] soreau: no, i guess i shouldnt have cleaned it. [01:44] Alright, I will do so. [01:44] utorrent runs very well in wine if you're familiar with it [01:44] brb [01:44] soreau: And once again, thank you [01:44] and +1 for deluge [01:45] kermit: I can't seem to find a deb package of that version of firefox, but you can search if you want at packages.ubuntu.com [01:45] transmission bugs/crashes to much on me. looking for something better [01:45] Tgp1994 are you using wine or vmware for this situation?

The Video card is a nVidia GeFroce 7100, and the KVM switch is a "Zonet KVM3002" [01:47] Tgp1994 the only thing that I can think of is to find another computer and install any card or device before installing the OS, i.e., Linux or Windows. Why, the installation process will see the hardware and install the necessary driver devices. [01:47] hi folks, i'm having some trouble in karmic. My sound volume keeps lowering by itself with varying applications. i tried both mplayer and exaile [01:48] blkhatjames: Comparison of bittorrent clients: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients [01:48] it starts at a normal volume and then just gets lower [01:48] Curly_Q: Completely install a new OS? That sounds a little extreme for this. Don't you think just rebooting my box here will allow it to detect the card perhaps? [01:49] Hey guys, How do I know (and add/remove) programs from the boot up sequence of my Ubuntu? [01:50] Tgp1994 I do this every day and all day long. I have tons of computers on my desk. If one OS doesn't work the way I want, I just re-format and install something else. If there is a virus, I just play the game of re-installing something else. I have that luxury. It is much faster. [01:50] Curly_Q: Oh, I guess I don't :( Well, thank you for your help today. [01:51] i am having trouble setting my password in samba. i enter sudo smbpasswd -a and get this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JC3wVPnk [01:51] rgoytacaz: main menu -> system -> preferences -> startup applications [01:51] chris78945: sudo smbpasswd -a username [01:52] soreau: back [01:52] chris78945: then sudo smbpasswd -e username [01:52] goodfella121: Which one weer you? [01:52] blkhatjames: that's odd. Transmission is lauded as being very stable. I've certainly had no issues like that, YMMV [01:52] were* [01:52] it is very odd in that both mplayer and exaile do it, one uses gstreamer, and one doesn't [01:52] goodfella121: You're linux? [01:53] Tgp1994 one little bit of good advice, there is a software, expensive, but very valuable if you are interested. It is called: Acronis. That will help you solve many issues with installation problems as well as data recovery and if any mistake is made you can always revert back to a previous situation. Windows has a stupid version of that but it is completely vulnerable to more stupid problems. [01:53] blkhatjames: I suggest Deluge [01:53] soreau: yeppers [01:53] goodfella121: Ok, what does 'glxinfo|grep renderer' say? [01:53] Curly_Q: Heh, ya, that's windows.

Now what's the problem? [01:54] ty [01:54] chris78945: Are you using straight samba or ldap as well? [01:54] Windows 7 is much better than Vista, but the caveat is that Windows XP Pro is much faster and better and well supported than 7 and Vista.

Aside from this video issue, Lucid runs perfectly. I'll just purchase an ATI card or Nvidia. [02:05] goodfella121: However in Lucid, SKIP_CHECKS wont work because ubuntu hard coded the blacklist into their version of compiz [02:05] alpicola: what do you mean ?

The Video card is a nVidia GeFroce 7100, and the KVM switch is a "Zonet KVM3002" [02:11] hello [02:11] soreau: Yeah, I remember trying to play low-end specs for Half Life 2 on windows, and it lagged horribly [02:11] ola [02:11] soreau: so I already knew it was bad card [02:11] hola loculinux-client [02:12] How do I add the current date/time to a filename if I'm doing something like cd /var/www/; tar -cvpzf /home/user/backup{datetimehere}.tar.gz mywebsite.com/ [02:12] how would I manually add some resolution modes to xorg.conf ? [02:12] m477: Not sure, then. I suppose you could always specify the filesystem when you try to mount the thing and maybe that'll work. (mount -t iso9660) [02:12] hello, is alsa the only one, supporting 5.1 or more channel output? Pules, OSS, etc only support 2? [02:13] alpicola: i tried sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 Diablo2LOD.iso /media/cdrom0/ [02:13] alpicola: but doesnt work [02:14] m477: Definitely not sure, then. What are you using in Windows to load the image? [02:14] alpicola: daemon [02:14] hey, what file do I need to edit if I want to add env variables and aliases? I thought this was ~/.profile, but even retsrarting has no effect and nothing I add there gets used! [02:14] alpicola: but it isnt first time when i can mount [02:14] because, in SMPlayer, when I chose audio output driver, and the movie has 5.1 channel audio, everything plays 2 channels except for alsa. in VLC, even alsa plays 2 chnnels. what's wrong, does Linux really have a such poor support of audio? [02:15] How do I get a gui app that needs root privileges to ask for a password and granting it root privileges. The package is samba-server-configuration. [02:15] alpicola: i recently got note that i have to specify file type [02:15] scunizi, you run it from the console: sudo and your gui app file name [02:16] Does either Aptitude or Synaptic log events as it downloads from the repos? I see one fail after waiting a LONG time, but then the text goes away right away and I can not see which one is erroring. [02:16] scunizi: sudo samba-server-configuration (from the console, or you can create a launcher with that command) [02:16] alpicola: maybe can you recomend some other program which can do that [02:17] igoryonya: been there done that.. and it loaded fine.. I'd just like to start it from the menu if possible. [02:18] scunizi: so, create a launcher shortcut with sudo prepending and add it to the menu. [02:18] igoryonya: good idea.. hadn't thought of that. [02:18] !gksudo [02:19] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:19] Pici: kdesu in this case.. I made the switch from gnome.. [02:19] m477: Don't really know any, I'm afraid. Loop mount has always worked for me. [02:19] hello, is alsa the only one, supporting 5.1 or more channel output? Pules, OSS, etc only support 2? because, in SMPlayer, when I chose audio output driver, and the movie has 5.1 channel audio, everything plays 2 channels except for alsa. in VLC, even alsa plays 2 chnnels. what's wrong, does Linux really have a such poor support of audio? [02:19] hi im kpourjx :) === gyKa is now known as Gytis [02:19] !hi [02:19] 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! [02:19] thanx === RaMcHiP is now known as RaMcHiP-Away [02:20] !welcome [02:20] 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! [02:20] Pici: or now it's been superceeded by kdesudo .. kdesu isn't installable anymore. [02:20] I wonder if anyone here have a solid knowledge about parallel computing..there are tons of questions i wanna ask u guys === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [02:20] Scunizi: I'll need to remmeber that. [02:22] I'm going to train my kids to say "Sudo" instead of "Please" [02:22] if anyone want to be invited in lockerz whisper me add points and win console ipod and mac [02:23] hey, what file do I need to edit if I want to add env variables and aliases? I thought this was ~/.profile, but even retsrarting has no effect and nothing I add there gets used! [02:25] jrcarr2: On Debian it is .bash_profile... have not set custom variables on Ubuntu [02:26] does anyone here know how to use spamassassin? [02:26] jrcarr2: man bash says if theres bash.profile first, it won't read .profile [02:26] jrcarr2: .bashrc [02:27] its already have there [02:27] :) [02:28] I have a dell Inspiron 600m with a dedicated video card, but cannot get any of the higher end visual effects [02:29] fu me [02:29] The wobble works but it disables full screen applications/windows, the 'chrome' bar stays but the ui of the window is black [02:30] bashrc? [02:30] nice [02:30] yeah [02:30] hi [02:30] When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter‐ active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes com‐ mands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. [02:30] I thought the purpose of .profile was to have a profile read by multiple shells [02:30] is there a version of ubuntu that will run well on old hardware (p3 866mhz) [02:30] so you'll need to make a .bash_profile [02:30] jrcarr2: that's /etc/profile [02:30] cp ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile [02:31] jrcarr2: read the man page of bash..see invocation section :) [02:32] does anyone know how to get the flash plugin working on Chrome in 10.04? [02:33] Shawn_l : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [02:33] will do. [02:33] Hello guys I am installing Yahoo Messenger from following link : http://www.technixupdate.com/download-yahoo-messenger-for-ubuntu-linux-with-webcam-voice-chat-photo-sharing-support/. The installation got error due to dependency packages on Ubuntu 9.10 desktop CD. Please find the attached screenshot error:http://imagebin.org/92943. Please advise how can we fix this? [02:34] <^b0ss^> hey all i am trying to install plugin script with xchat ....i select the files from the xchat scripts but does load [02:34] hello guys [02:34] im going to kill myself :D [02:34] <^b0ss^> im half way there [02:35] Does anyone know if you can play WoW with Wine WITHOUT Installing it? But instead playing it off a hard drive that it is already pre installed into ? [02:35] i12, do you have nvidia? [02:35] ^b0ss^: (m) [02:35] I think its an ATI card [02:36] jordan: I tried once, I didn't succeed [02:36] is there a command to profile the hardware? [02:36] Without installing what, Wine or WoW? [02:36] Nedrae: wow [02:36] <^b0ss^> my amsn wont close .. [02:36] <^b0ss^> is there like a crtl alt del button [02:36] Damn I was hoping there was away around it [02:36] Just run it, that's what I did and it never gave me trouble [02:37] ^b0ss^: try xkill [02:37] <^b0ss^> how [02:37] alt + f2 > xkill [02:37] jordan, :), I had a windows WoW installation and when I booted to ubuntu, I just launched the exe file from the install directory and it worked. I have Wine 1.1.40 and Ubuntu 64bit 9.04 [02:37] ^b0ss^, system monitor [02:37] It doesn't even need to be installed in windows. It does use some registry keys but it just re-creates them if they don't exist [02:38] which archive manager supports .rar format [02:38] Lucky! Idk why it didnt work for me XD How do you make the red text? [02:38] i12, strange, because, the problem you've described is known for nvidia cards and there is a fix for it. [02:38] dhanesh, 7zip supports everything :) [02:39] <_CommandeR_> how do i change resolution in grub? [02:39] digitalfiz:how it can be worked in ubuntu [02:39] jordan, what do you mean by the red text? [02:39] <^b0ss^> cant find amsn on the process like [02:39] _CommandeR_, what do you mean [02:39] <^b0ss^> list [02:39] jordan, the red text is xchat highlighting something said with your name in it [02:39] Idk when people say jordan, it appears red on my screen XD SOrry new to Ubuntu [02:39] I installed a new KVM switch, and now I can only get resolutions 640x800 and 320x240 - I tried reisntalling my video driver with no luck... it says the driver is working, just....not quite right. The Video card is a nVidia GeFroce 7100, and the KVM switch is a "Zonet KVM3002" [02:39] Anyone here savvy with CRON? [02:39] how would I manually add some resolution modes to xorg.conf ? [02:39] <_CommandeR_> zenlunatic, i have a 1200x800 screen [02:40] <_CommandeR_> but it seems to still not use that resolution in grub [02:40] digitalfiz:how can i add 7zip in ubuntu [02:40] OH!!!!! okay haha damn it was freakin me out [02:40] grub is a boot loader who cares [02:40] dhanesh, search for it in synaptic [02:40] shazbotmcnasty: ages ago i found a X modeline generator web site. and used that. but There may be better ideas in the forums. KVM's are often a problem i hear. [02:40] <_CommandeR_> zenlunatic, i have instlaled burg as a extension that is a graphical boot screen [02:40] dhanesh, sudo apt-get install p7zip-full [02:41] !archive [02:41] MrHeavy, errrrrr [02:41] <_CommandeR_> zenlunatic, http://ubuntuguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/os_logo.png [02:41] <_CommandeR_> want this but to fill it out on my screen [02:41] digitalfiz:oh thank you very much [02:41] shazbotmcnasty:thank you [02:42] no prob [02:42] wow grub2 is ridiculous [02:42] thats not grub thats chameleon [02:42] <_CommandeR_> burg [02:42] Grub2 has some very nifty features.. and a lot more to come i imagine [02:42] Dr_Willis, do you think manually adding resolution to xorg.conf would fix my problem anyway? [02:42] the greatest work excuse ever.. "I'm can't do any work until it's done compiling XD [02:42] unless grub2 took some pointers from chameleon [02:43] shazbotmcnasty: thats how others have handled it in the past. but Ive never used a KVM switch. so no personal experioence with it [02:43] <_CommandeR_> im trying to make it but when editing its settings and giving GFXMODE to 1200x800 seems not to change it [02:43] Out_Cold: There's an xkcd comic about that. :) [02:43] whatever... that much gui in a bootloader is a waste [02:43] Dr_Willis, the other side of the kvm is plugged into an xbox360, and it finds the resolution fine on that [02:43] which digitalfiz [02:43] Dr_Willis, oh...well okay [02:43] _CommandeR_: you are rerunning tghe 'sudo update-grub' command after changeing any grub2 configf files? [02:43] thanks anywhoo LD [02:43] :D* [02:43] lol Strife89 [02:43] <_CommandeR_> Dr_Willis, yes [02:44] <_CommandeR_> if i run grub-emu or burg-emu seems to change resolution but not the real thing [02:44] Out_Cold: http://xkcd.com/303/ [02:44] I was wondering if anyone would know how I would fix firefox from crashing all the time [02:44] right from the get go its just crashes [02:44] Strife89, hahaha.. minus the swords, that was me at work [02:44] od3n_: Likely a plugin. [02:44] od3n_: try disabling flash? that seems tobe a major cause of ff crashes. [02:44] od3n_: Failing that look at the Lorenzo project. [02:44] od3n_: or some other plugins. [02:45] how do I do that [02:45] Lorebzo Project has potential. [02:45] cause I cant even get it to start long enough [02:45] i12, Have you read this? http://wiki.compiz.org/Troubleshooting it might help you solve your problem [02:45] Thanks all for the help :] [02:45] <_CommandeR_> Dr_Willis, how do i check what resolutions my computer got during grub? [02:45] od3n_: in the firefox menus, or use the command line options - It would be very weird that FF would crash on startup loading ablank page. [02:46] guys, is there any file tag standard in common filesystems? (fat32, ntfs, ext*,...)? i want to tag all my files [02:46] _CommandeR_: Ive never noticed. I set mine to be the native of my LCD monitor and it uses that. [02:46] When I plug my ipod (a fourth gen 8gb nano) into rythmbox, it asks me whether or not I want to initialize. I do want initialize it but it gives me an error about not being able to create a folder on it or something. Any ideas on what could be wrong? [02:46] obiwan_: clarify what you mean by tag standard. [02:46] <^b0ss^> Question im trying to move a file to a system area i tryed gksu nautilus and typed my password then tryed to copy paste the file ..didnt work please help [02:47] obiwan_: do you want to label your partitions? [02:47] help? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:47] <_^mouse^_> ^b0ss^, you might try sudo mv in terminal [02:48] igoryonya, thanks I'll give that a look, the 'advanced' settings are compiz even without the compiz settings manager right? [02:48] maybe obiwan_ is talking about mp3 tag? [02:48] igoryonya, what should I do to see what kind of video card I have, that will help on the search [02:48] <^b0ss^> surely you can do it from the gui? [02:48] Dr_Willis: i have installed 7zip but it is not in application menu. [02:48] i12: open a terminal and type "lspci |grep VGA" (no quotes) [02:49] ^b0ss^: i find it much SAFER to use the CLI. ive seen peopel running nautilus as root have at times really messed up their systems. [02:49] i12, I read your question 3 times and didn't understand what you've ment about advanced settings. [02:49] <_^mouse^_> ^b0ss^, idk, probably so, but easier to use terminal for it i think [02:49] dhanesh: yes.. thats because its not a GUI tool.. You are thinking its a clone of the windows version.. its NOT. [02:49] <^b0ss^> im just trying to copy a xchat script to the plugins folder [02:49] dhanesh: now that its installed the archive gui 's in linux should be able to handle 7zip arhives. [02:49] <^b0ss^> thats all === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [02:50] ^b0ss^: you do realize you could just use the users own personal xchat directories.. theres no real need to copy it syst4mwide. [02:50] <_^mouse^_> right, what Dr_Willis said :) [02:50] <^b0ss^> im trying to put it in the xchat/plugins folder ? [02:50] <^b0ss^> is that the right place [02:50] darolu: i want to label my files [02:50] i bricked my router so anyone with a WRTSL54GS i will be glad to buy it from you at a good price thanx [02:50] Dr_Willis:then how can i extract file using 7zip [02:51] and each USER has their own .xchat/WHATEVER directory [02:51] ^b0ss^: ~/.xchat2/ create a plugins folder first [02:51] dhanesh: use ark or file-roller or the cli tools. or the 'unp' command [02:51] <^b0ss^> there was already one [02:51] <^b0ss^> there [02:51] !info unp | dhanesh [02:51] dhanesh: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB [02:51] obiwan_: what do you try to do exactly? what do you want to acomplish by "labeling your files"? [02:51] i12: well, normally, in your system -> administration -> hardware drivers, you can see what graphics card is installed, but there should be a command line, but I don't know what it is, although, when you start compiz or /etc/init.d/gdm, or X11, it tells you during start what it is. [02:52] quiet today [02:52] dhanesh: if you have installed the 7zip package you should be able to right click your compressed file and extract it from any nautilus window [02:52] yep [02:53] igoryonya: lspci |grep VGA should print video card model [02:53] p7zip -d FILENAME [02:53] darolu: It does. [02:53] obiwan_, what, do you mean by *label* your files, it can mean many things, what do you mean by that. [02:53] darolu: i find it extremely difficult to organise my files: if i got a software program for chemistry where do i put it? in chemistry dir? in software dir? what if i want to grab all my software and i've got that prgram in the chemistry dir? i'll have to search all the dirs in my disk for software. it'd be better to have all software in a dir. but then what if i need everything about chemistry? it'd be good to have that software in my chemi [02:54] igoryonya: what i just said please read my last comment [02:54] darolu, thanx, I've forgot about lspci [02:54] obiwan_: Most software installed will go under the applications menu. [02:55] obiwan_: In short, you want a tag cloud like they have on blogs and such, but for your files? Or your applications? [02:55] I *think* you can tag them in the tracker search tool, but trackerd keeps bugging out on me and corrupting indices all over the place [02:55] exactly alpicola [02:55] crucialhoax: yeah i know, i mean software installers [02:55] why is it that ubuntu and knoppix have been consistanly a pain in the ass over 10 yrs when it comes to livecd's [02:55] obiwan_: it's quite easy to install probrasm at /opt/ and your files at your own /home; you can use different directories or file sufix to help keeping them organized; I do not know of any "label" system like the one you are describing; out of a database that is. [02:55] random suddentely can't read half the disc etc [02:56] flyback: that's a weird statement since Ubuntu hasn't been around for 10 years [02:56] but darolu i don't mean installed programs, i mean installers. i want to keep my programs organised in my external usb disk [02:56] what i want is exactly what alpicola said, a blog cloud tag for my files [02:57] ok [02:57] hi , i want to install git in my system , but can't find the name of package , which one should i install? [02:57] i thought about that some hours ago, but couldn't find something related to blog tags for filesystems [02:57] however long I seen livecd's out for [02:57] :P [02:57] obiwan_: I think dolphin has a feature like that in kubuntu. Don't know if gnome/ubuntu has anything similar. The dolphin functionality also doesn't work outside the GUI, so if you want to get your files from the terminal, you're on your own. [02:57] flyback: I have never had that problem... [02:57] alpicola: problem is that if dolphin is just for ext files or for linux it won't help [02:57] I wonder if theres a 'tag' fuse extension. for the FUSE stuff. [02:58] Wow, this box is awesome now! [02:58] alpicola: i need something working on a standard filesystem basis, working in ntfs, ext, fat32,... [02:58] flyback: If you check the md5 sums of the download, burn at a low speed like 2x or 4x you will be fine. [02:58] uh [02:58] When I plug my ipod (a fourth gen 8gb nano) into rythmbox, it asks me whether or not I want to initialize. I do want initialize it but it gives me an error about not being able to create a folder on it or something. Any ideas on what could be wrong? [02:58] I been doing that for ages [02:58] brez:how can i extract .rar file in ubuntu [02:58] this is just random bullshit [02:58] I seen over the yrs [02:58] dhanesh: file-roller [02:59] i'm not blaming ubuntu at all [02:59] change the file name to .tar? [02:59] obiwan_, I know, there are several programs, meeting your need. I need something like that too, but, I don't remember what they are called, I can just say, that I've seen a couple in synaptic (don't remember what category and the name) and on freshmeat. [02:59] going to free up a flash drive here [02:59] and work that way [02:59] pranay_09: apt-get install git [02:59] obiwan_: If you're looking for something at the filesystem level, it doesn't exist in any current fs that I know of. Definitely not in the "normal" ones like ntfs, ext*, etc. [02:59] works fine. [02:59] obiwan_:it is not supported .rar format [03:00] <^b0ss^> Question getting closer [03:00] obiwan_: use wine and download winzip [03:00] <^b0ss^> m angryfact.pl $HOME/.xchat2/ plugins [03:00] obiwan_:it is not supported .rar format [03:00] I am using network manager to share my wireless internet via eth0. The pc using the eth0 connection recieves an address of 10.42.43.10 via dhcp. Where do I go to modify the address handed out over such a connection? [03:00] <^b0ss^> is the command m? [03:00] dhanesh: try in a terminal "unrar x filename.rar" [03:00] alpicola: i mean some tag standard, adopted by common filesystems, so i can use those tags interchangeably in different filesystems and then combine files seamlessly [03:00] or alternatively, install "rar" from synaptic. [03:00] greezmunkey: Edit the connection properties inside of Network Manager. [03:01] snowhouse: wrong person? :P [03:01] brez:how can i extract using 7zip [03:01] brez: is gnuit and git the same? [03:01] why do you need 7zip? [03:01] dhanesh: strange, mine works. maybe i downloaded some rar plugin i can't remember of [03:01] Is alsa the only one, supporting 5.1 or more channel output? Pules, OSS, etc only support 2? because, in SMPlayer, when I chose audio output driver, and the movie has 5.1 channel audio, everything plays 2 channels except for alsa. in VLC, even alsa plays 2 chnnels. what's wrong, does Linux really have a such poor support of audio? [03:01] obiwan_: Yeah, I know. It doesn't exist. [03:02] alpicola: aw :( what a shame [03:02] pranay_09: I'd assume so, considering it's under the same file name :D [03:02] i'd really love [03:02] alpicola: do you know if some work is being done on that? [03:02] obiwan_: is there any other method [03:02] crucialhoax: I would, but once you select "shared to other computers" for the method of the wired connection, all other entries become greyed out. [03:02] dhanesh: I just downloaded a .rar and typed in what I printed above in terminal with no problems. [03:02] obiwan_ can i extract in windows xp [03:03] dhanesh: of course, apt-get install unrar [03:03] greezmunkey: Then I do not know. I have not ever played with a bridged connection. [03:03] sure dhanesh [03:03] crucialhoax: I suspect it may be in a config file somewhere, but have had no luck looking for it. [03:03] Does anyone know what I'm talking about : An application that show numerous graphs of network history, RAM usage, cpu usage, etc. all in one and most people have it on the right hand side of their screen [03:03] is there a program that will make my cpu run at 24400MHz instead of 1600 please? [03:03] obiwan_, I was thinking about directories as categories and using symlinks as different types categories, placed in different directories for the same file. [03:03] obiwan_:ok [03:03] intel quad [03:04] wow, vnc is slow over thi wifi network :x [03:04] yeah i thought about that igoryonya [03:04] greezmunkey: It might not be able to be configured since it is a bridged connection. [03:04] * genii ponders this software to overclock a cpu to 24Ghz [03:04] Fudge, You want to OC it 22.8GHz? [03:04] igoryonya: problem is then i'd have to keep worring about what i wanna copy as a symlink or what i want to derrefer and take the real file [03:04] <^b0ss^> Q : mv angryfact.pl ~/xchat2/ plugins [03:04] <^b0ss^> mv: target `plugins' is not a directory [03:04] <^b0ss^> thats the error [03:05] <^b0ss^> trying to find out how to move the scripts into the plugins folder [03:05] crucialhoax: maybe that's why I can't find it! Like it's part of an executable somewhere. [03:05] ^b0ss^: there is a space after xchat2 [03:05] igoryonya: i may do that for a couple files, but when i copy like hundreds, i can't keep picking each one by hand [03:05] <_^mouse^_> ^b0ss^, try --- mv angryfact.pl ~/.xchat2/ plugins [03:05] greezmunkey: Yeah, that is possible. [03:05] obiwan_: you could keep all the files in one directory and use a subdirectory structure of categories with symlinks. [03:05] crucialhoax: It's not a big deal, I was more curious than anything else. [03:05] <_^mouse^_> you need a period before "xchat2" [03:06] <^b0ss^> nbrown@nbrown-desktop:~$ mv angryfact.pl ~/.xchat2/ plugins [03:06] <^b0ss^> mv: target `plugins' is not a directory [03:06] Can anyone tell me the name of this program http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2003/3541339716_75377c6f9a_o.png [03:06] Fudge: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/969355 [03:06] ^b0ss^: mv angryfact.pl ~/.xchat2/plugins [03:07] ^b0ss^: that is the file name from above, I just fixed the command.

[03:07] <^b0ss^> the one above [03:08] Fudge: it scales down to save power when it's not being used [03:08] but i use a screen reader and dont want that feature === alpicola_ is now known as alpicola [03:08] else i get laggy speech [03:08] <^b0ss^> the angryfact.pl [03:08] Fudge: you really shouldn't, but there will be something in BIOS [03:08] ^b0ss^: here `cd ~/Desktop` then issue `mv angryfact.pl ~/.xchat2/plugins` [03:08] Does anyone know, I usually have 3x screens running irssi at one given time, it's really annoying have to type "screen -r numberhere" each time I wanna go back to a particular one, and most of the time I forget what screen is attached to what server. I would like to be able to substitute the number for a name, is that possible? eg?. "screen -r freenode" [03:08] im aware of that InternetPolice yes, but couldnt find it in there when we looked [03:09] Fudge: I doubt that scaling would be causing the issue anyway [03:09] I have a EPSON CX-5500... I can't scan with it... lsusb finds "Bus 006 Device 003: ID 04b8:083f Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus DX4450".... sane-find-scanner finds "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [Language Error], product=0x083f [Language Error]) at libusb:006:003".... scanimage -L returns "No scanners ...." what is wrong? what is meant by "language error"? [03:09] igoryonya: yeah that's exactly what i thought, but first issue is there's a maximum number of files per dir, so i'd have to make a pool with several dirs and then if i mvoe a file to another dir, i'd have to check all links to it. and plus the other is if i want to copy 100 files , i can't keep worrying about if what i'm copying is the symlink or the real one. You can specify to copy symlinks or derefer them, but when they're mixed like in [03:09] <^b0ss^> oh desktop/desktop [03:09] <^b0ss^> shakes head [03:09] obiwan_, I don't remeber, what it's called, but I've seen some plugin somewhere :( for nautilus, that allows to sort files by categories, you might want to search for nautilus plugins, I also saw (also don't remeber the name) a console based service that you can use to create a description for any file, which, when you search for files, the description is also searched. [03:09] <^b0ss^> it workED~~~~~ [03:09] <^b0ss^> CH you rock man [03:09] ^b0ss^: Haha Idk about that. === log|in is now known as log|out [03:10] that description thing would be great igoryonya if it worked in other windows filesystems too and others [03:10] brez: Start it like: screen -S freenode [03:11] you guys rock, thanks for all your help [03:11] obiwan_: maybe create a directory with alphabetical folders: a, b, c and place files in each folder accordingly, and reference to them. [03:11] igoryonya: also somebody talked me aobut beagle and semantic desktops and stuff which classify things and let you search and stuff but that's not either cross filesystem standard [03:12] InternetPolice may i pm you please [03:12] I suppose [03:13] Hey, all. I've got an Intel 2200BG chipset for my wireless connection, and apparently Karmic Koala doesn't have driver support for it out of the box. So I got some drivers, firmware, subsystem files, etc. Now I supposedly need to configure my kernel files to support the drivers et al. I get completely stuck when I get to this. How am I supposed to go about doing it? [03:13] alpicola: champion! thanks! [03:13] brb! [03:13] obiwan_: as far as I remember, the description thing was storing description in some centralized file or a db, which it is referring to on access to description or file search. [03:13] ohai everyone [03:14] obiwan_: so it's file system independant [03:14] ldap/pam/samba situation. Currently my linux users can perform passwd password resets successfully. Unfortunately the majority of my ldap accounts have both linux and samba login information. Passwd is unable to modify the samba attributes, anyone know of a solution? [03:14] is there an established method to installing the alternate cd unto a netbook? [03:15] littlefoot: It should install just like the regular CD unless you are getting errors. [03:16] I do remember it, too -- I used unetbootin and it was trying to located a CD [03:16] something about mounting it to /cdrom, but then it was looking for drivers... [03:16] oh, has nobody tried to do this before?! [03:16] <^b0ss^> CH you there . [03:17] histo, FYI I got things working with the floppy Linux print server. I used Winimage according to instructions. Earlier I had tried dd. [03:17] obiwan_: I just saw, there is an Alias plugin in "Gnome Do". Plugin description: Assign alternate names to items [03:17] yeah igoryonya the problem would be if the rest of filesystems know how to read/write that db info [03:17] littlefoot: Just a USB stick to boot the iso.. [03:17] ^b0ss^: Yes, I am. [03:17] <^b0ss^> want to as ya something [03:17] <^b0ss^> in priv [03:17] histo, I still don't understand why dd if=/path/filename.imz of=/dev/fd0 didn't work. [03:17] <^b0ss^> copy and paste abit big [03:17] ^b0ss^: shoot. [03:18] histo, but at least my print server is working now from floppy. :D === RaMcHiP is now known as RaMcHiP-Away [03:18] crucialhoax: so can certain types of bootable linux (iso/syslinux) be used by copying the contents of the image directly to a bootable USB device? [03:18] rather, is this *ever* the case? [03:19] igoryonya: well, i don't exactly want to add alternate names, i want to add tags hheh. anyway i've more or less give up, i'll do some simple dir classification and maybe a couple years later they launch some standard which does it. i think it'd be great [03:19] I can read -- I've been looking, too. If there's a resource that covers this, I'll go bury my head in that first... [03:19] littlefoot: I installed ubuntu on my netbook via booting a USB disk. I used my Ubuntu laptop to create a bootable USB drive with the preinstalled software [03:20] exit [03:20] how do i purge a program through terminal? [03:20] Capt_Blackwood: sudo apt-get remove --purge [03:20] Capt_Blackwood, sudo aptitude purge package [03:20] thank you :D [03:20] np [03:22] I am off for now. I will be on later. Peace all! [03:22] so happy with this now :DS [03:23] is it normal for libflashplayer.so to be green and none of the other plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to be green? [03:23] to be green? what do u mean emma ? [03:23] emma: do you mean when you do a ls ? [03:24] yes [03:24] I think it means it is executable. [03:24] but what's green? [03:24] the icon? what? [03:24] the name of the file. [03:24] No this is in a terminal. [03:24] emma: usually files that are green (from ls command) are executable [03:24] Yes I think it means it is executable. [03:25] Is that normal for libflashplayer.so to be executable but none of the other .so files in there are executable? [03:25] this is in usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [03:26] the name of the file is green? omg, do you mean in ls emma ? [03:27] could one of you cd to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and do an ls -l [03:27] Yes in ls. [03:27] Is there a channel for Lucid? I cannot get Adobe Flash mozilla plugin to work. [03:27] yes #ubuntu+!

[03:28] Capt_Blackwood: did you install it with apt-get or aptitude? [03:28] emma: to know the file type of a file, just "file filename" . use the file command [03:28] no emma [03:28] how did you install it? [03:29] it was a .bundle file [03:29] hello [03:29] sudo ./file name here [03:29] sorry i don't know anything about a .bundle file.

[03:29] hi sudo-su , ask [03:29] Ubuntu 9.10 [03:29] emma, thanks. [03:29] obiwan_: how install a router D-LINK DSL-500 B en ubuntu without internet? [03:30] I downloaded the flashplayer from the Adobe site and I untarred it. Then I moved the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. But firefox doesn't seem to know its there. [03:30] sudo-su: you don't need to install it, it's got its own operating system inside [03:30] I did an ls on that directory and I see that all the other .so files are owned by root but libflashplayer.so is owned by me. [03:30] and libflashplayer.so is the only one which is green. [03:31] obiwan_: but i can't conect [03:31] can be because is from wubi? [03:31] sudo-su: what you need to do is setup ubuntu to work with it. usually it works out of the box with networkmanager, just selecting the wireless ap and entering the password [03:31] obiwan_: thank [03:32] i going to try this [03:32] Capt_Blackwood: Do you have /usr/bin/vmware/vmware-uninstall.pl? [03:32] sudo-su: maybe, maybe wubi doesn't have access to the nic resource, maybe windows is blocking it, dunno [03:32] heypps [03:32] sudo-su: what you may try is booting from the livecd and trying to connect [03:33] obiwan_: ok [03:33] sudo-su: np, :) [03:33] is the room doing [03:33] thank you [03:33] it's in my main bin folder [03:33] Capt_Blackwood: an uninstall file?

[04:42] wyclif___: ardchoille thanks [04:42] yw [04:42] hello [04:42] yw [04:42] ardchoille: xangua: I thought off topic was for more social things. I did want help, just not a very technical one. But thanks, I'll ask there [04:43] wyclif___, i'm planning to get SSD, want to know if anyone is using Ubuntu on SSD [04:43] need help with 9.10 [04:43] !ask | judibeefl [04:43] judibeefl: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:43] i cannot seem to get any updates [04:43] how do you mount a partition upon startup? [04:44] !fstab | nytek_ [04:44] nytek_: 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 [04:44] i get errors [04:44] git__: what make? I'm curious too b/c the ThinkPad I'm thinking about buying has SSD, I've seen that they can be pretty snappy when it comes to speed of opening apps [04:44] judibeefl: How are you going about this? [04:44] nytek_ you can get the storage device manager, its pretty easy to use [04:44] wyclif___: as that is not directly Ubuntu support, perhaps that be taken to another channel? [04:45] Zelozelos: i can't do it via the fstab file? i enter somewhat of a correct line [04:45] Zelozelos: maybe if i pastebin it you could look at it? [04:45] ardchoille: Well, we put Ubuntu on our ThinkPads [04:45] nytek_: Did you read the info the bot posted for you? [04:45] ardchoille: i was responding to Zelezelos first :D [04:46] nytek_ that wond do any good by me, but someone else may know what theyre lookin at, storage device manager does this stuff for me :) === titaniumbrella is now known as Carbonish [04:46] but the only partition i mount (besides the obvious) is my windows partition [04:46] through systems>>administration>>.synaptic pkg manager update [04:47] judibeefl: Can you expand on that? Any errors? Problems? [04:48] switched to upgrade manager seems to be working [04:50] * wyclif___ also likes aptitude as a front end for apt-get [04:56] Hi, is there a way to make a bootable usb from the linux command line? I tried unetbootin without success, and a simple dd of the image gives me a "no boot sector" error. [04:57] what is a good virus scanner for linux... one that does realtime file checking on file access also would be good [04:57] and FREE OPENSOURCE [04:57] I've got a serious problem with Evolution Mail. [04:58] hanasaki: clamAV is in the repos [04:58] !virus > hanasaki [04:58] hanasaki, please see my private message [04:58] !virus > zelozelos [04:58] Zelozelos, please see my private message === jeff_ is now known as Guest94687 [04:59] xangua: thanks.. .but its also a linux samba server so I need to catch windows bugs [04:59] I've got a serious problem with Evolution Mail. [04:59] ok just got the update and received this error : W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/emacs22/emacs22-common_22.2-0ubuntu6.2_all.deb [04:59] Hash Sum mismatch [04:59] clamav is good however it does not scan on access nor clean / only finds virus' [04:59] W43372 you'll get a better response if u state the issue [04:59] W43372: Please state the problem [05:00] hi, I'm just wondering if slow redrawing with gnome desktop is a fact of life [05:00] as in, moving a window around is a "laggy" experience [05:01] ardchoille: It doesn't notify me at all when I get mail and I have it set to check every five minutes. I just had a friend send me an email to test it, and I wasn't notified, and when I loaded Evolution it didn't automatically fetch the message. I had to click 'send/recieve' to get it to show up. [05:01] awesome_guest: been using gnome for years on Sempron 2800 machine with nvidia 6200+ vid card and haven't had a problem [05:01] ardchoille: it is functional, but annoyingly slow compared to windows xp [05:02] awesome_guest: That would depend on the power of your machine and video capability I would imagine [05:02] oops, forgot I left this on, hey ikonia :P [05:02] i need help with an applet [05:02] how do you see the whole console command history all at once, instead of seeing it one by one when you move the up arrow key? [05:02] does anyone have times? [05:02] time [05:03] ardchoille: it does, in fact, work a lot better on a 9 year old OS [05:03] igoryonya: use the history command [05:03] do you know how to disable a lot of graphical eye candy? [05:03] awesome_guest: Then I would guess that you have something running in the background hogging resources [05:03] my window buttons are on the left can anyone help me get them back to the right where they need to be? [05:04] awesome_guest: I don't use any eye candy, perhaps that's why mine is smooth, dunno [05:04] right click and move them ViridianFire [05:04] ViridianFire: on Lucid? [05:04] ardchoille: cool! that command is awsome! [05:04] igoryonya: :) [05:04] no on Karmic [05:04] ardchoille: It doesn't notify me at all when I get mail and I have it set to check every five minutes. I just had a friend send me an email to test it, and I wasn't notified, and when I loaded Evolution it didn't automatically fetch the message. I had to click 'send/recieve' to get it to show up. [05:04] I wanna know how to remove junk entry from grub2, after updating [05:04] awesome_guest: I have a really candy-free setup, but biggest issue I see is people that have Compiz turned on, check to see if it's enabled [05:05] ViridianFire, join #ubuntu+1 - there is a factoid there that i can send you [05:05] I installed the Lucid theme [05:05] wyclif_: how? [05:05] W43372: I don't use evolution, I just wanted you to state the problem so others could help if possible [05:05] can anyone help me with user switcher applet? [05:05] I am experiencing cpu usage that's a lot higher than I am used to.. I only have firefox and a text editor open [05:05] i used to be able to logoout/restart/shutdown from there [05:05] but now [05:05] only lock [05:05] and quit [05:05] ch33selom: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:05] Evolution doesn't notify me at all when I get mail and I have it set to check every five minutes. I just had a friend send me an email to test it, and I wasn't notified, and when I loaded Evolution it didn't automatically fetch the message. I had to click 'send/recieve' to get it to show up. [05:05] I am experiencing 30-40% usage.. on two 2ghz cores [05:06] this is unacceptable [05:06] awesome_guest: open a terminal and run "top" to find out what's using resources. Hit the q key to quit to[ [05:06] awesome_guest, try the 'top' command to see what process is taking up your cpu [05:06] *top [05:06] awesome_guest it's in the Settings somewhere...looking now, give me a sec and I'll give exact location [05:07] sinistrad: YES xorg is actually doing it [05:07] thanks. It's confusing, that all the great unix utilities are actually not even hinted at in the ubuntu gui tools [05:07] but I like it or else I wouldn't be here lol === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [05:08] awesome_guest, hrm. I only get that much CPU out of xorg when I'm running 3D animated backgrounds [05:08] can anyone help me with the applet or no? [05:08] Nevermind [05:08] awesome_guest: System>Preferences>Appearance [05:09] awesome_guest >Visual Effects: None [05:09] wyclif_: I actually already did that [05:09] awesome_guest: Yeah, that turns off Compiz GUI-style [05:10] I am completely comfortable with editing config files, etc. [05:10] I just did some xorg.conf stuff [05:10] what's the command to see what processes are actiely accessing files, because, even if I don't do anything, my system monitor shows nearly 70-90% HDD activity, nonstop. It started happening ever since I've upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. [05:10] igoryonya: lsof [05:10] awesome_guest: Right about the GUI way, users will never learn about coreutils w/o reading man pages, &c...the GUI hides all that from the user [05:10] awesome_guest, what release are you running? [05:11] sinistrad: 9.04 [05:11] does anyone know how to add the applet is integrated with pidging and lets you log out/restart/shut down??? [05:11] awesome_guest, wow, that's was a pretty stable release too. [05:11] igoryonya: top -cs [05:11] sinistrad: oh it's stable, just highly suboptimal [05:12] when is the 10.0 release coming? [05:12] Why does the new UNR not let you go into standard desktop mode? [05:12] sinistrad: it's perfect.. if you don't care about power consumption [05:12] !lucid | Younder [05:12] Younder: 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 [05:12] does anyone know how to add the applet is integrated with pidging and lets you log out/restart/shut down??? [05:12] Younder, 15 days from today :) [05:13] thank you for the lsof tip - I just installed a ssd and need to figure out how to stop all these 'helpful' writes to the drive [05:13] wyclif_: which column represents disk activity? [05:13] is anyone else having trouble with flash and gstreamer? [05:13] !anyone | jason201 [05:13] jason201: 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? [05:13] seems to be a recent issue for me [05:14] say what? [05:14] jason201, you need to provide some details [05:14] awesome_guest, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe one of the gurus in here knows how to track/trace what xorg is doing. Your experience is very unusual. I've got a ton of stuff running and I bet I'm at less than 5% CPU total [05:14] genii, that seems to show currently active files, but what I need is to see the procentage of file system access load by which processes, to know which process is overloading the hdd with access reads writes requests, just like you see a percientage of CPU per process. [05:15] youtube give me an error and totem tells me there is a general supporting library problem for gstreamer [05:15] sinistrad: I mean, I am running dual monitors with a mobile graphics thing, the intel 950 gma express [05:15] igoryonya: top isn't for disk activity, it gives status of running programs, CPU usage, memory, and swap === bobbywilson0_ is now known as bobbywilson0 [05:15] I had to disable something called 'DRI' which apparently gives better performance [05:16] slam [05:16] awesome_guest, DRI is basically your Direct Rendering [05:16] wyclif_: well, you suggested top -cs, so that's why I was asking. [05:16] wyclif_: are there any specific utilities for writes to the hard drive? [05:16] dalnet [05:16] One of my major grudges against utube is the lack of support for standard video formats like mpg [05:16] sinistrad: alright, it may explain why the cpu has to do everything [05:16] hey guys im looking for an open source web confrencing tool like dimdim etc.. but some server i can install and host [05:16] You can of course download them [05:17] I've never had a problem with youtube until tonight, I don't understand what has changed [05:17] awesome_guest, meaning, that your video card is not handling the 3D as it should. Or at least that is my take on it. I know my 3D gaming is a no-go if I don't have DRI enabled [05:17] linux being linux [05:17] I thought maybe it had sometihng to do with a recent update [05:17] does anyone know of an opensource web-confrencing tool that i can host? [05:17] One of my major grudges against ubuntu is the lack of support for standard video formats like mpg [05:17] which is why I wondered if anyone else was having the same problem [05:17] duh [05:18] dumb and dumber.. argh [05:18] Younder: do you have a question? [05:18] awesome_guest, still, you are not running compiz, so you shouldn't need 3D. Your desktop should be in 2D mode, which a year 1998 graphics card should handle, but the dual-monitor thing might throw a kink in it [05:19] how do I find out which process/app is utilizing the disk most intensively (disk activity per process/app) or something like that. [05:19] awesome_guest, let me rephrase. You aren't using compiz' 3D portions. [05:19] igoryonya, top [05:19] sinistrad: the google says that graphics performance gets WORSE for intel gma in 9.04 [05:20] awesome_guest, heh, I'd bet you'd agree [05:20] this thing came out a year ago [05:20] system, admin, system monitor i think is what u want igoryonya [05:20] Younder: top doesn't show disk activity, only virtual memory [05:20] igoryonya, or system > administration > systemmonitor [05:20] igoryonya: have you tried System Monitor yet? [05:21] I mean sheesh, all I want to do is develop code.. which linux is rather good at handling [05:21] hi there [05:21] sinistrad: but I've found a set of relevant pages, so thank you for your help thus far [05:21] Zelozelos, Younder, wyclif_, I am using system monitor all the time and the only thing that it shows related to disk is virtual memory. [05:22] awesome_guest, of course. Sorry I couldn't be of more use. I'm just like any other user =) [05:22] Zelozelos, Younder, wyclif_, it's, pretty much the gui top [05:22] awesome_guest: Ubuntu is a bonanza for a developer. If you're programming in modern, OO-oriented languages you have access to everything you could possibly need to develop code [05:23] igoryonya, no it has a different implementation [05:23] Zelozelos, Younder, wyclif_, I need disk activity per process, to see which process most actively uses the disk [05:23] Younder: I wasn' [05:23] is there a way to make empathy stop showing part/join messages? [05:23] igoryonya, you need Perl [05:23] anyone knows how can I setup defaults shortcuts? when I press del for delete some file it opens shut down dialog... [05:23] Younder: I wasn't talking about implementation, but functionality. [05:24] wyclif_: yes, I've had lots of fun developing on unix systems.. maintained by other people, thankfully [05:24] Younder: :) do you mean, I have to write something like that myself? [05:24] igoryonya: I know there's got to be some small util for that on the command line, I'm still looking [05:24] igoryonya, yes [05:24] and ctrl+alt+del opens tty5... [05:24] hi there [05:25] there is prob wit my hp printer [05:25] awesome_guest: you say "maintained by other people" as if maintenance is a chore :) [05:25] I have an old bookmarks.rdf file I suppose I exported from epiphany. Is there a way to import this into firefox? [05:25] igoryonya, you don't have to, but in the end you will bee better off === bobbywilson0_ is now known as bobbywilson0 [05:25] i could not find my driver for that [05:25] after all how else will you be sure it does exactly what you want [05:25] wyclif_: well, I am not actually writing code while doing this :) [05:26] but getting an ssd to work with xp was a chore in itself.. it balances out [05:26] awesome_guest: a lot of ppl seem to be holding out on SSDs until there is TRIM support [05:27] so help me out [05:27] ye, I program perl, but I am in the middle of several projects right now, and starting an other one, not knowing even how to do it, I would spread even more between the projects, but I am sure somebody has done it already, I mean, come on, even if Windows has it, it would be strange that linux doesn't [05:27] i m using ubuntu 9.04 [05:27] xatcon if you may have 2 be more specific about what the issue is, if someone knows they will help [05:27] Hp deskjet D 1600 [05:27] I mean Windows has it built-in., but I always thought, that linux is way more advanced. [05:28] xatcon, on one line [05:28] cant find driver for my Hp deskjet D1600 printer [05:29] wyclif_: mm, intel put out a windows utility that does TRIM [05:29] printer is not taking command but showing online [05:29] the other manufacturers are a bit behind on that [05:29] igoryonya: sorry I couldn't help, but the fact is that some of these utils are more popular than others [05:30] awesome_guest: no I mean in Linux [05:30] wyclif_: oh, well, I will keep looking, thanx anyway [05:30] wyclif: fair enough. However, ssds can be really fast if ubuntu is optimized for them. do you know of a central repository of tips? [05:30] awesome_guest, what's TRIM? [05:31] hello [05:31] igoryonya: if you have a solid state drive (usually faster than disk drives), you can extend the lifespan of the drive by using the "TRIM" command, roughly speaking [05:31] xatcon did you try all the obvious trouble shooting fixes like turn off, turn on, reboot, disconnect, reconnect, check all connections etc? [05:32] a lot of the ubuntu configuration stuff actually tries to optimize.. for disk drives [05:32] !ask | xatcon [05:32] xatcon: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:32] awesome_guest, no, solid state devices are slower [05:32] it will wear out my ssd much faster [05:32] Question: whenever i restart firefox or it tries to open a new window I loose all the icons i put on the window myself, is this a bug that has a work around? [05:32] yes i do it all [05:32] xatcon, you may find information @ linuxprinting.org [05:32] Younder: in which case? [05:32] what is the difference in the lts releases and like the regular 9.1? [05:32] xatcon how does it connect anyhow, usb or serial? [05:33] awesome_guest, furthermore they have a limited number of writes [05:33] i just want my driver for Hp deskjet D1600 for ubuntu only [05:33] by usb [05:33] awesome_guest: does SSD has a shorter lifespan, then HDD? I thought that it was the other way, since SSD doesn't use any mechanics... [05:33] awesome_guest, I'd wait a while.. [05:33] Question: whenever i restart firefox or it tries to open a new window I loose all the icons i put on the window myself, is this a bug that has a work around? [05:33] awesome_guest: I've seen Ubuntu run on an SSD, and it's pretty snappy. I've no idea about lifespan besides knowing it's less. But the upside is that if you carry a laptop around a lot it's MUCH sturdier with an SSD [05:33] xatcon u shouldnt need 2 install any drivers, it should work asoon as u connect it, (as far as i know anyway) === jamie is now known as Guest50413 [05:34] igoryonya, SSD have shorter life span... :) [05:34] wyclif_: that is true, and I do have a laptop [05:35] isolat3dsh33p: shucks, and I was thinking about replacing some of the disks that I had with SSD, now I am having second thoughts. [05:35] Younder: I've read those articles as well, and intel seems to be rather committed to giving these things a decent lifespan === bobbywilson0_ is now known as bobbywilson0 [05:35] only suggestion i have for you xatcon is to unplug it from the usb, restart you puter, wait for it to totally boot up, then plug it in and try and print something [05:35] xatcon, http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-DeskJet_1600C [05:35] Younder: they claim 10 years, conservatively, and actually have a 3 year warrantly [05:35] ya but not workin i had used driver for 1500 but usless [05:35] igoryonya, too bad. :) [05:36] awesome_guest: although the number that really counts is how many big writes to the disk there have been [05:36] xatcon oh and if u can, connect it to a diff usb port [05:36] awesome_guest, take that with a grain of salt. [05:36] Mrpeepers310: icons? do you mean you re-aranged the toolbars? [05:36] wyclif_: yep, which is why I've gotta go hunting through this operating system looking for all that crappy code [05:36] hello [05:37] Hello. [05:37] could you point me to some utilities that track writes to the hard drive? [05:37] awesome_guest, No such system has worked for 10 years yet [05:37] i think im having some hard drive problems [05:37] did anybody here had an SSD disk die on you? [05:37] Younder: that's true. However, I am giving this thing a try since I'd rather work to get a good experience as soon as possible === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [05:38] kbrosnan: yes [05:38] also: any typography people in here? I'd like to hear your thoughts, and how you improved the default typeface [05:38] awesome_guest, good luck [05:38] i was dual booting xp and 9.10, and i had xp crash on me while playing a game, so i restarted and it gives me a message that there is no bootable sector on the internal disk. so i used the live cd (now) and when i go to gparted it shows my internal as "unallocated" [05:38] Mrpeepers310: close firefox, delete localstore.rdf in ~/.mozilla/firefox/... [05:39] hi i need some help mounting raid can any one help me_ [05:39] is there a way to make Empathy stop showing join/part messages? [05:39] ok sounds good [05:39] does anyone know of a way i can recover my internal drive after this crash? [05:39] so, with SSD disk, you have to be doing live backups constantly, nonstop. [05:39] igoryonya: ...no [05:40] kbrosnan: thank you [05:40] giacomocarissimi, is the drive visible by the system or it's inaccessable? [05:40] igoryonya: not really, ssds tend not to fail suddenly as disk drives do, which is a plus with a laptop [05:40] i can't see it's contents [05:41] awesome_guest, be warened! being the first you carrey the brunt on price and will get bugs [05:41] it shows my external but not my internal partitions [05:41] igoryonya: you get a warning when your ssd will get old (about 6 months before anything bad even happens) [05:41] awesome_guest: I would think it would be something that breaks down the contents of /proc/stat for you [05:41] giacomocarissimi, I can only suggest some windows utilities, I don't know of any such linux utilities, do you want? [05:42] igoryonya: i'll try anything :) [05:42] awesome_guest, that said. You are probaly making the best choice [05:42] at first i thought it might be something with grub, but i kinda doubt that if i can't see anything on the disk from the live cd [05:42] awesome_guest, In the long run === freevryheid is now known as fvs [05:43] awesome_guest, oh, that's good, because, I thought opposite, that it fails suddenly, because I've had, in my experience 2 flash sticks fail on me suddenly, which, as far as I understand use the same memory type as SSDs. [05:44] igoryonya: yeah, intel's betting part of its future on these things [05:45] wyclif_: thanks [05:46] GiacomoCarissimi: There is a really good tool, called SpinRite 6, but it's not a file recovery tool, but an inaccessable disk repair tool, I repaired many disks with it, but as far as file recovery goes, I just thought, what file system do you need to recover from? [05:46] awesome_guest: Isnt OCZ pretty popular? [05:46] igoryonya: just ntfs and ext3 [05:46] awesome_guest: by these things, do you mean memory chips? [05:46] How can I make my audio input, come out my audio output??? [05:46] lol === Moat is now known as Durf [05:46] weird question, but I would love it to be answered. [05:47] shazbotmcnasty: on a laptop that would be cool lol, it would be like 3:1 sound haha [05:47] 10.10 Mating Meerkats :) [05:48] igoryonya: mlc and slc NAND flash, to be specific [05:48] GiacomoCarissimi: the windows tools I will suggest, will probably only recover fat and ntfs systems, although, some of them might work with ext3, I don't know though, just a sec., but I've recovered many disks with these tools that had ntfs and fat systems, I just didn't have any disk with ext3 to recover yet. [05:48] crucialhoax, that's not what I mean [05:48] !recover [05:48] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [05:48] I have my xbox hooked up to the audio input [05:48] and I just want it to play from my speakers [05:48] crucialhoax: yeah, but I wanted trim support out of the box [05:49] awesome_guest: I was just asking if it was a popular manufacture. [05:50] crucialhoax: yes it is. I just went on newegg and looked at all the stuff with over 100 reviews [05:51] lol retard question here [05:51] with three audio jacks [05:51] green blue and pink [05:51] blue is audio in right? [05:51] pink is mic [05:51] which is also audio in... [05:51] but [05:51] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:52] green is output, pink is mic, idk what blue is [05:52] wow [05:52] cheese [05:52] giacomocarissimi, StellarPhoenix; R-Studio; GetDataBack (gda) [there are 2 versions - fat and ntfs]; Recover My Files <- all these are able to recover even from deleted partitions [05:52] crucialhoax, what are you on? [05:52] thanks for the help igoryonya i'll look [05:52] crucialhoax: line out? (if green is headphone out, or vice versa) [05:52] Hi guys, I'm new to linux. Could anyone tell me how I can set up my ubuntu box so that I don't have to authorize it every time I install a .deb? [05:52] easyrecovery is good (it's easy), but nut as good as the ones I've gave earlier. [05:52] difference is that headphone out is amplified [05:53] abhilash: that's how it works. [05:53] igoryonya: im not even sure the data is deleted, i doubt it was able to clear my entire hdd in the matter of 2 seconds the crash happened [05:53] abhilash, no [05:53] I can't change that? [05:53] abhilash, no [05:53] nor should you [05:53] I had a feeling lol [05:53] GiacomoCarissimi: these utilities will recover from deleted, lost partitions or individual files. [05:53] igoryonya: im trying testdisk and some other linux options initially [05:53] Hmm how about signing into empathy automatically on startup? [05:53] ? [05:54] GiacomoCarissimi: recover4all is a good utility, but it only works on existing partition, It cannot recover from lost partitions. [05:54] abhilash: you can add it to your 'startup applications' in System -> Administration [05:55] oh thanks [05:55] hmm, maybe the partition table is just messed up [05:55] crucialhoax: try to ask it all on one line, it would be easier for someone to follow [05:55] i found it under preferences [05:55] abhilash: er, yeah. :) [05:55] h00k: huh? [05:55] but i'm not sure which partition table type i would have [05:55] lol [05:56] intel/pc im guessing v0v [05:56] crucialhoax: er, ignore that, sorry. [05:56] alrighty [05:56] What do I put in the command section for adding a startup item [05:56] abhilash: 'empathy' [05:56] oh lol that's simple [05:56] abhilash:) [05:56] comment can be empty? [05:56] abhilash: yes [05:57] GiacomoCarissimi: there is also good one Restorer2000 (r2k), but I don't remember if it can recover from lost partitions or only from existing; to come back to easyrecovery, it's good and it can also recover from lost/deleted partitions or existing, but as far as I remember It couldn't recover files that were NTFS compressed or NTFS encrypted, other tools I' [05:57] !recovery | GiacomoCarissimi [05:57] GiacomoCarissimi: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [05:57] GiacomoCarissimi: 've suggested can recover encrypted or compressed, did myself. [05:57] !recover | GiacomoCarissimi [05:57] GiacomoCarissimi: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [05:57] can you paste into a virtualbox vm from outside? [05:57] sweet, I've used ubuntu before but I didn't bother to update to karmic until now (several months later) but there are just a few things keeping me from using it regularly [05:57] h00k: i was reading through that ubuntu wiki page [05:58] GiacomoCarissimi: gotcha, okay. [05:58] skydrome: if you install guest addons [05:58] Evening/morning. According to the manpages for gzip, running gzip to compress a file replaces the file to compress with its compressed version. Is there a way to leave the original file intact without having to copy the original elsewhere first? [05:58] but h00k i was giving testdisk a try and i don't know what partition table type ubuntu would be using. its a regular dell laptop, so would it be intel/pc? [05:58] is anyone accessing an ubuntu desktop using a thin client? if so, what is your setup? [05:58] is anyone else running chrome with ubuntu? [05:59] lucretiaX: I am. [05:59] im running into issues with is not recongizing .swf files [05:59] so, what about the 5.1 and more channel audio support, does only alsa support it. and pulse, oss, openal, etc. don't? [05:59] everything should be working but its not happy [05:59] Random832, can you do that from a shell? [05:59] I have no idea lol [06:00] hey [06:00] anyone here? [06:00] chopes_: I am, but I'm hoping to get a question answered myself [06:00] skydrome: huh? [06:01] you mean your guest os has no GUI? why aren't you just sshing into it then? [06:01] do i need a dekstop to install it? [06:01] whats the ip it uses? [06:01] hey, how do I turn (completely disable) hibernation? [06:01] Is there a installer kinda package like an equivilent of iexpress on ubuntu 9.10 [06:01] skydrome: back up, what are you trying to do? [06:01] ah h00k igoryonya testdisk is showing me my partitions, do you think i should just have it write the structure? [06:01] !pastebin [06:01] 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. [06:01] i don't know - you might have to do port forwarding [06:01] Well, I sorta have a simple question I think having to deal with the xorg.conf file. I have a dual display setup here and they are both the same monitor. Both are 1650x1080 resolution and I set it up so that they are side by side and the mirror option is not checked but for some reason, i cant do anything on the right screen lol [06:02] Random832, paste from outside vm into it (debian bare) [06:02] i don't think there's a way to do that [06:02] normally you'd set it up so you can ssh into the vm, so you don't have to use the vm console [06:02] ok will look into that [06:02] how do I disable journaling in ext3? [06:03] GiacomoCarissimi: there is Acronis Recovery Expert, I know that acronis is really good disk utility company. their HDD imaging software is better then norton ghost, and Disk Director Suite is better and more stable, then Partition Magic, but I didn't test their recovery expert, so I cannot say, how good it is yet, but I am thinking, that if their other disk utilities are superior, why this... [06:03] ...utility would not be. [06:04] igoryonya: well what im thinking is the partition table just got screwed, so if there's an easy way of fixing that up and having everything working, i could just get it to re-write the partition table structure [06:04] via testdisk atm [06:04] heh, haven't fired up this virt mach in a while [06:04] GiacomoCarissimi: I didn't use testdisk, so I don't know, but if it was me, I wouldn't risk it until I imaged this disk with some disk imaging utility to an other disk first. I don't know how safe it is to suggest anything. [06:05] still works [06:05] is testdisk a linux tool? [06:05] igoryonya: yeah [06:06] igoryonya: this seems like a good idea, the worst that could happen is i'll have to spend the next 3-4 hours getting everything set back up. i have most of my important data saved on my external anyway [06:06] GiacomoCarissimi: maybe, you can do it, but as I said, since I'ven't tested this util before, I am afraid to suggest anything about it. [06:06] igoryonya: no worries [06:07] i wrote the partition table, now just have to reboot to see if it worked. i'll be back to let ya know. [06:07] GiacomoCarissimi: yes, I would like to know [06:07] Why does the font look so unbelievably sexy in Ubuntu? [06:07] GiacomoCarissimi: so I know for the future. [06:07] alright brb [06:07] how would I find out what device my line-in port is? I mean like /dev/ [06:08] I did "cat /proc/asound/devices" but it didn't seem to give me any useful info I don't even know if it should have: http://pastebin.org/150646 [06:08] shazbotmcnasty: as in your mic right? [06:08] no the other one [06:08] blue [06:08] shazbotmcnasty: ls /dev/snd/pcmC?D?c [06:08] blue is line in [06:08] sorry. my brain is stuck on laptop mehh. [06:08] then cat one of them and see what happens if you tap on the mic [06:09] Random832, okay that gave me: "/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c /dev/snd/pcmC0D2c" [06:09] oh [06:09] (wait maybe you can't directly cat alsa ports) [06:09] but you'll notice that tere was an "0" and a "2" in the output from proc [06:09] shazbotmcnasty: line 7 and 9 are capture. [06:10] Random832, yep those were both there is proc [06:10] me using 64bit ubuntu , I want to run a 32bit app [06:10] how ? [06:10] is 5.1 and more channel audio support, works only in alsa? ...and pulse, oss, openal, etc. only use 2 channels? [06:10] when installing from deb file it says wrong architechture [06:10] Random832, cat: /dev/snd/pcmC0D2c: File descriptor in bad state [06:11] yeah, you can't cat alsa - i was remembering from the oss days [06:11] anyone get clamfs to send email? my mail server says it never got an incoming connection [06:11] but anyway it'll e one of those two - "c" means capture [06:11] hi [06:12] Random832, okay, but now I need the dev name of the output too [06:13] oh i found it i think [06:13] thanks :D [06:13] igoryonya: well, it worked [06:13] shazbotmcnasty: that one will end in "p" [06:13] for playback [06:13] yeah [06:13] cooool [06:14] there's a method to the madness [06:14] gahh my math teacher always says that lol [06:14] ot my bad [06:14] igoryonya: but it seems grub wasn't recovered, so i guess i'll need to go about reinstalling that so i can actually get back to my 9.10 partition. it had my ntfs (xp) partition set as the primary boot partition and my two linux partitions as just primary partitions [06:14] silv3r_m00n, to force a 32bit DEB install use "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture $DEB" [06:14] giacomo_c: cool, now I will know a linux utility [06:15] igoryonya: yeah, testdisk was a pretty simple program with menus (via terminal ofcourse) [06:16] i've got error : http://pastebin.com/wctp4NyK, when i install postfix what must i do, help me plzzz [06:16] giacomo_c: well, the boot sector was probably refreshed, that's why grub doesn't work anymore, I think, you can rewrite itself on the boot sector without reinstalling it, but I don't know how. [06:17] tsgsd [06:17] giacomo_c: the main thing is that the partitions are readable. [06:17] whats the best way to rebuild ubuntu from the source for a specific custom server for a newly opened hardware? [06:17] Trying to do my part to help others.... Should I add anything to this article about setting up Ubuntu on my machine? http://subone.org/blog/2010/04/ubuntu-910-installation/ [06:18] Random832, do you know how I would go about listening to one of the input devices? [06:18] since I can't 'cat' them... [06:19] and where can i get the ubuntu ,id source? [06:19] *MID [06:20] hello [06:20] shazbotmcnasty: i dunno [06:20] meh [06:20] how can I save a command ofr my terminal that I have to type everyday ? like mysql -uuser -p ? [06:20] you could always cheat and use /dev/dsp emulation [06:20] but i mean - there are libraries and APIs for this stuff [06:21] some mail, that I recieve I want to supply as data to a different program, a database for example, the rest of it should go to the mail client, is there a local pop3 mail client that I can supply some filters, and according to some filters it will pass messages to certain programs, other messages, that are not filtered, it will store and my mail program (seamonkey mail) will download from it? === Random832 is now known as rZndom832 [06:21] subone: on the update part, add the apt-get upgrade to it as well [06:24] subone: and in the `other` section make the sudo apt-get install just a suggestion. saves time anyways. [06:25] Yo yo yo [06:25] crucialhoax, even though i never ran the command? [06:25] Hello. [06:25] subone: huh? [06:25] ada yang tahu bagaimana membuat tampilan seperti vista pada ubuntu tidak? [06:25] crucialhoax, i mean 9.10 is latest, why would i upgrade [06:25] hello, I am considering getting this hardware, do you think there might be any problems using it with GNU/Linux? http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/WW/AG/merchandising/US/PDFs/qseries_techspecs_080409.pdf [06:26] !hcl | mrkeuner [06:26] mrkeuner: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:26] subone: sudo apt-get upgrade downloads and installs the updates from CLI, it does not do a dist upgrade [06:26] iki install apa mas [06:27] masiwan : #ubuntu-id [06:27] :D [06:27] I need some local incoming intermidiate mail server, where I can configure filters that, depending on the filter, will pass the incoming message to an associated program or script, other, unfiltered messages will be stored on this server until downloaded by a mail client, that will download all the messages from this server. [06:28] In sound preferences I am unable to select my microphone jack as my input device, it only allows me to use the digital mic source, which is a microphone in my laptop's lcd [06:29] crucialhoax, i thought it did [06:29] nope lol [06:29] Why do I not have microphone jack input as an available capture device? [06:30] Igoryonya: sounds like you need to setup a generic email server then add the extra functionality afterwards [06:30] crucialhoax, or rather i should say i just forgot... i didnt run the command because i did it last time around and it stopped halfway through because the gnome update manager opened and wanted to do the updates [06:30] i guess i should have described that [06:31] Since the new Ubuntu the volume control GUI has become limited, likely for user friendliness, but I need those obscure functions [06:32] subone: In that case, do not run that command, just go into the update manager and use the check button lol [06:32] Xorwhy: there may be an extra mixer you can install. Try reviewing: apt-cache search mixer | less [06:33] ActionParsnip: How do I add a functionality to it, is it a plugin based or is it flexably configurable like apache webserver? and which generic email server are you talking about? do you mean, like the servers that they use in ISPs and WebHosts? [06:33] crucialhoax, ive updated it to be more explicit [06:34] ActionParsnip: Thanks that's a great idea [06:34] masiwan : ngomong apa iki [06:34] subone: there is is lol [06:34] looks nice [06:34] Igoryonya: depends on the mailserver, most allow filtering/intelligence of some kind but its not something I've done. The crux is getting the service up and running though so try find a mail service giving what you need or the possibility of expandability [06:35] hi there [06:35] I have 2 debs and each depends on the other , and won't install .....how to install them ? [06:35] Igoryonya: sounds like some simple filter rules to me but I'm not sure of being able to run scripts based on content of individual mails as I've not done it before [06:36] does anyone know how to recompile ubuntu for a custom kernel for an arm based device? [06:36] *on a custom kernel [06:36] Silv3r_m00n: sudo dpkg -i file1.deb file2.deb [06:36] and where to find the ubuntu mid src [06:36] ActionParsnip: ok , done [06:36] !kernel | cpyarger [06:36] cpyarger: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [06:37] crucialhoax, i plan to write another one shortly on how i have my remote control setup on my phone [06:37] hello. Is NX the fastest remote desktop protocol for using X? [06:37] not quite what im looking for [06:37] subone : which phone? [06:37] subone: Thats right, you have that wicked control for yours lol [06:38] pk__, Motorola Cliq, but it will work on pretty much any phone [06:38] just a web interface [06:38] ohhhhh [06:38] so I would use IE on my blackjack? [06:39] ActionParsnip: so, you are saying that regular mail servers are flexible, like apache webserver and I don't need to look for some special mailserver, but can configure a regular mailserver to do this task? [06:39] Anyone know how to get an Intel WiFi 5100AGN To work w/ Ubuntu? [06:39] so i can run scripts on my computer from my phone.... for example, search all the movies on my computer and play one from across the room. [06:39] JustEric: Thats the card I am using.

I read back a little. [06:42] anyone know where to get the ubuntu mid src code [06:42] threexk, as far as I know, because, If I am not mistaken, it doesn't transfer the picture, but the window description and a local window manager draws the windows from the description, which saves a lot of traffic, because text description is transferred, instead of image screenshots. I might be mistaking. [06:42] pk__, just to remote control my computer like a media center i guess [06:42] hello guys, i want to setup my own local repository, can anyone help?

Who even uses that? It burns nothing at all. [09:00] theadmin: I agree, tell the devs who chose it as default burner :p [09:00] wait.. what should i use then, theadmin? [09:00] i used brasero like 2yrs ago :> [09:01] milosh: You can use gnomebaker [09:01] anyways, anyone managed to get the display brightness to work on a Samsung N220 ? [09:01] milosh: brasero should work just fine; burning an iso file is not that hard; I also like gnomebaker more though (it plays a cool sound when it ends!) [09:01] okay, but.. is there a really big difference or will i not even notice it, theadmin [09:02] ? [09:02] lol [09:02] for a simple task like burning an image u will not notice a diference milosh [09:03] okay. i had no clue there were differences in cds [09:03] can i ask support questions for 10.4 here? [09:03] what would a complicated task be for disc burning then, guys? [09:03] Guest32079: uhmmm not really, go to #ubuntu+1 [09:03] thx [09:03] milosh: Nothing really, brasero just is quite buggy [09:05] dude, my whole effin system is buggy. i'ma go with gnomebaker [09:05] no chances [09:06] can anybody tell me wer i can find out debian packages for Internet download manager [09:07] :) [09:07] yogesh712harish: try gwget [09:07] gwget.....can u tell me sumthing about it [09:08] so what are most of you guys like, underground status or something?

[09:09] reading different things [09:09] hunahpu: well that's really cool of you man [09:09] ddrj: it's a good idea, they are fully compatible [09:10] ty hunahpu, currently i have an ati on board video that's causing me problems with xbmc... looking to replace it [09:10] ddrj: I have an AMD Sempron cpu with an nVidia vid card and have no problems.. I build my own computers [09:10] ddrj: I actually tend to recommend Nvidia cards in Linux environments as Nvidia brings better support linux-drivers-wise. [09:10] dobry:) [09:11] thanks guys, yeah turns out that my ati on board video doesn't support either vaapi or vdpau [09:11] ddrj: yes, I have tested ati and nvidia cards with xbmc and nvidia does work better for me. [09:12] hmm hunahpu, any specific nvidia card u'd recommend for xbmc? xbmc recommends series 8 and above [09:12] i might get an 8400 gs (hdmi out too) [09:12] ddrj: I have a 9600GT with 512MB and works flawlessly [09:12] nice [09:13] ddrj i run it on a acer aspire reco with a ion gpu and its very nice [09:15] yeah after reading the forums it seems that everyone goes after the acer revos with ion [09:15] need help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9039341#post9039341 [09:17] unfortunately i ended up buy an amd x2 250 + gigabyte board with radeon 3000 which causes my system to freeze often because of incompatibilities with vdpau (since it's ati and not nvidia) OR vaapi (which is SUPPOSED to support ati cards but can't because my radeon 3000 doesn't support UVD2 which is required for vaapi) [09:18] hey, anybody ever used a static proxy? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:19] is there a key I can press to boot into recovery mode?, my grapics are messed up, and the grub screen is hidden as I only have one os installed [09:20] or, can anybody tell me the best way to boost my wireless adapter?

[09:33] I keep getting "Checksums do not match" in the usb startup creator. Eventhough the md5sum of the iso is correct. And there are no errors in the cli, I ran sudo usb-creator-gtk. Anybody know a solution? [09:34] just use the gui version [09:34] balachmar: [09:35] @jasonmchristos: Well that had the same problem, I ran it from cli to see if there were any error messages, but this is still the GUI version. [09:35] delete the entire partition on the usb drive and reformat it [09:36] use gparted to do that [09:38] hi , I have problem with instalation nod32 beta4 on ubuntu 10.4 , File is in .linux file format and when I try to run it I have error. What I should download before istalation of any ".linux" files ? [09:38] hey, ubuntu isn't picking up my USB drive, what do i do to make it recognise it? [09:38] Durf: 'dmesg'? [09:38] Durf: is it formatted? [09:39] 'lo... i'm trying to get jamvm working on 9.10 and it's puking no matter what i throw at it [09:39] this is from apt-get [09:39] My LAN is behind an ADSL router. My ADSL router reports: "DNS Server 195.50.140.248 195.50.140.114." What command determines the IP address of the DNS server currently in use? Don't tell me '~$ dig'. [09:39] (well, the jamvm + classpath i have) [09:39] zamba it isn't formatted. [09:40] During installation, can I decide which UID/GID my user should have, or do I have to accept what I'm given and change it afterwards? [09:40] bullgard, look at the contents of /etc/resolv.conf [09:40] firstly, how would i know what classpath i have installed? [09:40] Durf: there you go [09:40] Durf: you need to format it first [09:40] Durf: you know for a fact it's blank? [09:41] zamba :| [09:41] Tim|Work: I have done so before I posted here. This will tell me the IP address of my router only. [09:41] bullgard4: I believe that your router probably sends DNS requests out to both DNS servers listed, and uses whichever one replies first [09:41] hold up [09:41] Durf: hm? [09:41] bullgard4: try cat /etc/resolv.conf [09:41] wait... [09:41] bullgard4, nameserver is whatever your PC is using - most home routers have dns forwarders built in [09:41] ciaooo [09:41] so thats expected [09:41] bullgard log into the router and see what dns server ius [09:41] anyways [09:42] qualcuno mi può aiutare sono disperato [09:42] qualcuno che conosca ubuntu [09:42] Tim|Work: How does your general statement help me? [09:42] ...0.97.2. [09:42] who's the maintainer of this crap, anyway [09:43] bullgard it means do what i said [09:43] jasonmchristos: I have done so. I posted the result here. But this does not answer my question. [09:43] bullgard4, in resolv.conf, the line nameserver X will show you what nameserver is currently in use - which is what you asked... if it IS your router, that is quite normal because routers do DNS forwarding [09:43] the jamvm which can be obtained from apt-get REQUIRES GNU classpath 0.98, the one packaged is 0.97.2 [09:43] bullgard the router will list the external dns server [09:43] who should i bug about this? [09:43] the router may show one, but not give that out. [09:44] I am using ubuntu 9.04, i am getting this error "No package 'gtk+-2.0' found" please tell me ho to install gtk [09:44] Tim|Work: I see your point. -- Thank you.

I can ssh in to the server fine, but am not sure how I can find out what port the vnc server is running on [09:46] ddrj: thats off topic [09:47] sorry, i'll ask the right channel [09:47] gm|lap: This only returns the IP address of my ADSL router. [09:47] eZainny: how do you even know its running vnc [09:47] eZainny: by default, VNC runs on port 5900 (TCP) [09:47] because i recall the admin guy used to vnc in [09:48] hello [09:48] #Puppet [09:48] yep, tried connecting on default port, but it's not working...and i recall he changed it to something non-standard [09:48] bullgard4 you cannot get the dns from there it will list the router as the dns [09:48] the router will list the dns of the real server [09:48] have to log into the router to see it === Votan|off is now known as Votan [09:49] please????there is anyone that speck italian??????????? i have a disaster [09:49] eZainny: try a portscan [09:49] eZainny: netstat -apl will list all ports that are listening [09:49] eZainny: netstat - just trying to work out what flags you'll want [09:49] jasonmchristos: I have done so and obtained the result I wanted. -- Thank you.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [09:51] join #ubuntu-es [09:51] Hmmm...I did the netstat -apl but nothing jumps out at me as being related to vnc [09:51] Maybe the vnc server isn't actually running :/ [09:51] netstat -tau | grep [09:51] @jasonmchristos: I did a fromat with gparted and tried again, with the same result... [09:51] eZainny: yes, mey be... :) [09:51] *format [09:52] balachmar: might be a bad drive try another usb port could be the port [09:52] eZainny: it's likely that the old admin would ssh into the server and then start the vnc server each time he wanted to vnc in [09:52] @jasonmchristos: OK will try that [09:53] eZainny: at least, that's what I do on the off chance that I ever have to vnc into a machine [09:53] FireCrotch: Yeah, may be what he used to do. Any thoughts on how I can start up the vnc server again? [09:53] If it type in vnc in to the term window and then hit tab i see vncserver and vnc4server [09:53] and just plain "vnc" is there too [09:54] eZainny: maybe check .bash_history to see what commands the previous admin used [09:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-266981.html [09:54] or just press the up key eZainny [09:54] I am using my own login to the server, so the bash history would be my own right (not his?)

[10:02] hi [10:03] eZainny: that's odd - those kill the vncserver, not start it [10:03] Yeah, I figured that :) Not sure why there isn't anything to start it up in there [10:04] hey, ubuntu isn't picking up my USB drive, what do i do to make it recognise it? [10:06] Hw can we unset every detail of previous plot in GNU plot ? [10:06] using single ommand ? [10:06] like unset [10:06] anyone know how to recover a winxp pwd with trinity? [10:06] FireCrotch: so if the vnc server isn't running on the box, maybe i can just start it up again by running vncserver [10:06] or would it be vnc4server [10:06] milosh, wrong channel, try ##windows [10:06] milosh: You're in wrong channel. [10:06] can i get unbannd? [10:06] whoops [10:06] wrong channel [10:06] eZainny: just vncserver should do the trick [10:06] dude, i know that, but trinity is like.. a linux thing right? [10:07] and for the life of me, if i could get linux to work, i wouldn't be asking [10:07] milosh, which doesn't make it on topic with #ubuntu [10:07] like unset [10:07] Hw can we unset every detail of previous plot in GNU plot ? [10:07] using single ommand ? [10:08] what are you trying to do, sravan [10:08] iight, so would you be so kind to direct me to the right channel then [10:08] ?

[10:09] I dont want to individually do "unset label , unset range" [10:09] and all [10:09] eZainny: You're welcome :) [10:09] maybe unset * ?

[11:09] eni23: those tables should be saved in some kind of database.. which should be in a file somewhere.. if you've got the file you can probably get the tables aswell [11:09] eni23: use mysqldump [11:10] bazhang, either that or compile my own libffi4 package to work with the newer gcc libs [11:10] nibbler, I put "dmesg | tail" into terminal? [11:10] eni23: path is /var/lib/mysql [11:10] durf: yep, right after plugging the usb [11:10] nibbler: allready done. i have the table filesa, but how to tell mysql to use the old ones?

[13:30] Slart, hey man :) thats the thing my lines loooks like: "ZA","*",7600,0,70 <---- but wheres my "" ? it should look like "ZA","*","7600","0","70" [13:30] <^b0ss^> ok [13:30] and it's so anoying [13:30] hi [13:31] anybody using Ubuntu Sparc here? [13:31] <^b0ss^> sparc [13:31] <^b0ss^> never heard of it [13:31] impi: only text cells gets wrapped with quotes.. 7600, 0,70 are numbers.. and thus don't get the quotes [13:31] Slart, ah okay only text...let me try, thanks man [13:32] impi: perhaps if you set the cell format to text it will be wrapped [13:32] impi: I'm not sure how that affects calculations in your spreadsheet though [13:32] hi, are there any plans on making a driver for ext4 on windows?

[14:05] how to custum ubuntu [14:05] Dzaeck: clarify what you mean [14:07] pls how do i install ubuntu 9.4 on samsung r60 plus [14:07] stillme: the same way you install it on an acer 5532 [14:07] sheepz: that looks like the examples I found here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/sending-mail-with-attachment.html .. odd [14:07] I am currently reinstalling Ubuntu a lot on my computer, and I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to have /home as a separate partition from the root file system - also, would Ubuntu then re-use these directories as home directories for the new users (with the same name, of course), or would it make a new directory no matter what? [14:08] stillme: booting from a regular install cd doesn't work? [14:08] why not? [14:08] i havent installed it before [14:08] stillme: its very easy [14:08] i cant use it as live cd but am scared the display drivers wont work [14:08] frxstrem: you can tell it to reuse the same /home partition for a new install.. there's an option during the install [14:09] frxstrem: I think it's at the same stage where you decide how to partition the hard drive [14:09] frxstrem: Having a separate home partition is always good. When you create a user and a dir by the same name exists in /home, it will use that as the new user's homedir. [14:10] is there any secure deletion program that i can securely remove a file. [14:10] geirha: thanks, that's the answer I was looking for :) [14:10] Slart: sorry, but I already knew that :/ [14:10] !info wipe | CryptIce7 [14:10] Slart: thanks [14:10] CryptIce7: wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion.

[14:12] can you help website to special packeg for ubuntu soft ware [14:12] youngtill1die: there a checkbox in system, administration, software sources.. but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to just add the whole repository.. there might be some bad things in there (bad = buggy) [14:13] BANSHE3: grep seems like what you're looking for [14:13] Slart would you have any idea what i would type [14:13] Anyone know how to get an intel wifi 5100AGN Wireless card working? [14:14] BANSHE3: (they have to be plain textfiles) → grep -R "thatword" directory/ [14:14] morning [14:14] BANSHE3: something like this grep -R 'somewordtofind" /some/base/folder [14:14] what happened hypep terminal ubuntu and par six [14:14] so after installing ubuntu do i go downloading drivers for samsung r60?? [14:15] I am gonna reinstall Ubuntu and mount a partition for /home, but how big should it be (I have 30 GB available of 40 GB in total) [14:15] where do i get the drivers?? [14:15] BANSHE3: oops.. 'somewordtofind' or "somewordtofind" .. don't mix those [14:15] frxstrem: do 10 GiB for / (root) the rest for home [14:15] erUSUL: okay, thanks :) [14:16] * Dr_Willis wonders what a Samsung R60 is [14:16] BANSHE3: then there's all kinds of switches you can add.. -R means recursive.. -i means case insensitive .. there are many many more but those are the ones I use the most [14:17] erUSUL, interesting situation : 10gb for root and everything else for home used to be my choice, but now im thinking / = 3gb /usr = 10gb /var =5gb /home = the-rest [14:17] When I plug in a flash drive, it doesn't get automounted. How do I change that? [14:18] exarkun, start by giving more information about your system and software [14:18] Ubuntu 9.10 [14:18] airtonix: for a desktop PC separatting /var and /usr has no advantages imho [14:18] exarkun: thers been soem bugs/issues with the automounting of devices - ive had smiler issues. I tend to just mount them by hand when they dont auto mount. [14:19] Dr_Willis: Yes... I've been mounting by hand for 6 months now, every time I plug in the device. [14:19] erUSUL, right now i have it as / = 10gb /home = the-rest. however... after isntalling much doc packages... /usr/share/blah is reaching 8gb in size. [14:19] erUSUL: lots more stuff goes into /usr than any other dir, so it could make sense to mount a larger volume on /usr [14:19] Slart i'm running everything default... [14:19] exarkun: ive noticed that mine would auto mount for a while.. then stop. somthing with gvfs was crashing. [14:19] erUSUL: plus, /var needs to be mounted rw while other directories can be mounted ro [14:19] gvfs is the software that's responsible for this? [14:19] Gavilaso: and it worked before you created the new user? [14:19] when I start LDAP, I get an error message saying "No DB_CONFIG file found in /var/lib/ldap"... and there are some dbd files there... [14:19] why do I get this error? [14:20] Slart it was working fine until i create the new user [14:20] LzrdKing, ja, /var is also somewhere you would have the mysql and apache root [14:20] exarkun: part of it at least. Monitor the /var/log/messages file and /var/log/dmesg (i think) or kernel. files.. it may give a clue. but i know of no actual fix. [14:20] LzrdKing: i know that but that makes sense in a server or multiuser system. a desktop pc used by 1 person or a family do not need the extra security of ro /usr/ and all that stuff; as i said IMHO [14:20] Gavilaso: you could look through /var/log/syslog and see if you notice anything around the time you tried logging in.. it's a regular text file [14:20] Slart after i create the new user and reboot or log off so i can loging as the new user.. the log in screen.. or the square where you see the user is in black you can only see the background or wallpaper [14:21] Slart i'm new to linux how do i get there? [14:21] Dr_Willis: Okay, thanks for the hint. I haven't investigated the gvfs part of this before, so that gives me something new to look into, at least. [14:21] erUSUL: but as airtonix said, he's nearly out of room on / because of 8 GB in /usr [14:21] erUSUL, but i think i have a solution, which involves changing the mount point for /usr to a new partition to accomodate its growing size (i'm going to want more doc packages) [14:21] Gavilaso: open a terminal, write "gedit /var/log/syslog" .. it will probably be easier to start looking from the end since it might be a big file [14:22] Slart i can't login... [14:22] If I have applications linked to in the gnome panel, where are they stored? I'd like to be able to find the command to start an application on a remote computer. [14:22] Gavilaso: oh.. right.. didn't think of that [14:22] airtonix: if you have another drive, mount it on /mnt, do cp -a /usr /mnt, then unmount /mnt and mount the drive on /usr; once you verify that everything works, you can unmount /usr, then rm -rf /usr/* [14:22] queso: right click on the icon and select "Properties" [14:22] then remount the drive on /usr [14:23] Gavilaso: do you have a live cd you can boot from? (the regular desktop install cd is a live cd) [14:23] queso: The command should be there. [14:23] Slart it just sits their.. the only ico i see is the accesibility.. or the man with the hand on side [14:23] yes [14:23] slart yest [14:23] exarkun: I've ssh'ed to the remote computer, I'm not actually in gnome on it. [14:23] airtonix: make sure you add the drive to /etc/fstab so /usr is mounted on boot [14:23] LzrdKing: i'm not talking about a specific case it was more of a genral opinion (see my response to frxstrem ). in the airtonix case i sayy that if you are going to install a lot of packages then 15 or 20 GiB (i have 15 GiB myself) for root and you are done :) [14:23] LzrdKing, thats pretty much the method im going to use [14:23] erUSUL, true most people wont grab 8gbs of doc packages like me [14:24] does anyone know if there is a service that can recommend software to me based on the apt-get starts of ubuntu? [14:24] airtonix: what doc packages do you need that take up so much space? [14:24] anyone know how to compress mp4 with ubuntu? [14:24] jlebrech, please defien what you mean by " based on the apt-get starts of ubuntu " [14:25] i have a 25.5mb file and i want to compress it to under 25mb to fit in gmail [14:25] tux_: mp4 files are already compressed [14:25] tux_: try one of the many archiver tools out.. but good luck getting much more compression [14:25] LzrdKing, lots of python docs ( mostly all of them ), i have lots of python packages too [14:25] queso: You can start a display remotely. :) [14:25] dj_segfault, yup but is there anything else to edge it that little bit more [14:25] tux, you can try gzip -9, but you won't be able to compress a compressed file very much; in fact, it might grow [14:25] aironix: package x is getting really popular, and it has a description and reviews. and you can just click install. like an rss feed style app [14:26] exarkun: I can run the apps remotely via ssh [14:26] tux_ ^ [14:26] LzrdKing, worth a try [14:26] PKZDH [14:26] queso: I don't know which files the information is stored in, sorry. Probably something in ~/.gnome2 I suppose. [14:26] HEARTIEZ <3<3<3 GOOD NIGHT Pi LOL <3 [14:26] TRAKE B HEARTIEZ <3 [14:26] tux_: I would recommend looking into something that can break it up into multiple files [14:26] I STOP [14:26] jlebrech, you mean like the apt:// url handler that firefox has ? [14:26] A MONTH [14:26] SO WILL I!!!!!!!!!! [14:26] exarkun: k, thank you. I think I may have found a way to figure it out [14:26] AND I R CRIEZ [14:26] HIGH ON DRUGS LOW ON LIFE [14:26] DiKKy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:26] tux_: you could also try editing the content to make it a bit shorter [14:26] LzrdKing, added 1mb :) [14:27] tux_: or reencode it at a lower bitrate [14:27] its a video mp4, hard to compress, it went from a 92 avi to 25.5 mp4 [14:27] BRB [14:27] DiKKy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:28] winFF doesn't have an mp4 option unfortunately [14:28] tux_: if you converted it yourself, reconvert it but use slightly higher compression settings to the codec you used [14:28] Hello, anyone have advice for keeping one workspace at a default resolution while letting an application (Wine) resize another? [14:28] airtonix: like a desktop app, like message of the day. so it'll show you ad package you havent got install and explain what it does. especially if it has reviews. [14:28] Burzmali: you mean a work space, and not a seperate monitor right? [14:28] LzrdKing, don't have the original anymore, i used prism video converted on winblows [14:29] Dr_Willis: Yes [14:29] jlebrech, no there is not. [14:29] Burzmali: workspaces/virtual desktops - ive never seen be able to do differnt res's [14:29] airtonix: what do you think? good idea? [14:29] I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, how do I install libpcsclite1 32 bit library? I don't see an option for it in apt-get [14:30] Burzmali: I have two different displays at different resolution. I do it using separate X displays in NVidia's driver [14:30] I have libpcsclite1 64bit installed but that won't work for me [14:30] jlebrech, closest you get to ideas on start up is : ailurus [14:30] time watcher [14:30] dj_segfault: I'm running nvidia too, let me check that out.

[14:43] yeah slackware has that [14:43] Wow, I totally remember the name now that you say it === hexdump__ is now known as Hellhound666 === Hellhound666 is now known as Hellhound_666 [14:44] http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/tomclancyssplintercellconviction/video/6257745/tom-clancys-splinter-cell-conviction-video-review [14:44] the enter button doesnot work on ubuntu :SSSS [14:44] cmon guys [14:44] anyone === Hellhound_666 is now known as binary === binary is now known as binary0011 [14:45] how do I open programs in ubuntu just by using the keyboard? [14:45] h2o: your enter button seems to be working here [14:46] tomeo: alt+f2 usually [14:46] what could be wrong [14:46] I want to make a set of scripts available to all users in my machine. What's the best solution? Do I the executables under /usr/local ?? [14:46] thanks Haffe [14:46] h2o: it looks like you need to fill out your birthdate before the enter button becomes active, did you do that? [14:46] tomeo, try gnome-do [14:46] tomeo: alt-f1 will open the gnome menus and you can use the arrows to move around and enter to select your application [14:47] i cant see the birthday thing [14:47] how do I access the top menu bar of ubuntu just by using the keyboard? [14:47] tomeo: if you press ctrl-shift-numlock you can use your numpad to control the mouse cursor [14:47] tomeo: alt-f1 === clandestine_j is now known as wa1cfs [14:48] thanks Pici [14:48] tomeo, try gnome-do [14:48] I want to make a set of scripts available to all users in my machine. What's the best solution? Do I the executables under /usr/local ?? [14:49] jose__: /usr/local/bin is probably the best location, if there is no package that contains those scripts [14:50] LzrdKing, so anything under /usr/local/bin is accessible to any user? [14:51] mguy what logs would i want to look at for network items [14:51] jose__: if they have read and execute permissions on the directory and the files inside [14:51] is anyone else getting a 503 from http://help.ubuntu.com ?

[14:51] :) [14:52] was just about to try the ec2 stuff [14:52] LzrdKing, so /usr/local/bin is added to every users path by default or is it /usr/local/bin? [14:52] Is there a way to essentially set a different /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf per connection? My connection at home requires a "prepend domain-name-servers" that my work connection doesn't require. Or is it fine to have that prepend there superfluously at work? [14:53] jose__: you may need to add the path to $PATH in /etc/profile [14:53] hey, is there a way to connect to a wpa2 network over commmand line with a hidden ssid? [14:53] hi, I'm having problems with aptitude...

[14:58] airtonix i made 640x480 14 color indexed image, as some other site suggested :D [14:58] do i have to 'enable' splash? [14:58] airtonix: isn;t there one that is used for all users, something in /etc/? [14:58] it seems 'graphic' though [14:58] hey, is there a way to connect to a wpa2 network over commmand line with a hidden ssid? [14:59] LzrdKing, you're not referring to /etc/skel ? [14:59] airtonix: thats used when a new user is created [14:59] LzrdKing, correct [14:59] What file contains the listing for grub? I wish to edit the name of an entry. [14:59] fruitwerks - apt-get sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre [15:00] LzrdKing, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [15:00] airtonix: isn;t there a file that sets the default PATH variable for all users when they log in, then goes to ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:02] jose__: you'll need to either append the path for users, or have them execute the scripts using /usr/local/bin/scriptname [15:02] miha, https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [15:02] did anyone have success with postgresql8.4 in karmic?

[15:05] ciao [15:05] gunksta, meaning just `postgres` or `postgresql-8.4`? [15:05] abulu - this will show you what you have on your system that depends on that package. dborphan is another neat option [15:05] fruitwerks: then check /etc/apt/sources.list [15:06] LzrdKing, Thanks dude! [15:06] fruitwerks: it shiuld be a matter of uncommenting a couple of lines [15:06] souffledev - I almost always use the metapackage -- but remember, before using postgres it has to be configured. It's not like mysql [15:06] gunksta, do you have a doc you used? :-) [15:06] instlalation doc [15:06] can anyone help me with setting up a macbook laptop keyboard?

[15:08] gunksta, thanks [15:08] frostburn: there is a compiz setting for focus stealing prevention [15:09] frostburn: i seem to recall seeing some guide that sort of did that with compiz. KDE4 allready has a similer feature built in [15:09] I am having trouble with Inhibit Applet, it works just fine, except when I close the lid, it doesn't catch it and the computer suspends. [15:10] Slart, ah i see, it under general, focus prevention level [15:10] souffledev - postgres is a nice database, but it's not like mysql. I would come closer to saying it's like SQL-Server done right. [15:10] boa dia [15:10] Dr_Willis, yeah, i haven't seen anything yet, i'll google around a bit more [15:10] Can someone some me an example of how to put a post-install script into the preseed file?

[15:11] How to make autoindent of parentheses in Gedit? [15:11] AdvoWork: clonezilla ? [15:11] Like whenever I make "{" in Java or C++, it move a little bit right, making it indented, [15:11] !clone | AdvoWork [15:11] AdvoWork: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [15:11] AdvoWork: You can use dd [15:11] abuayyoub: yeah, I have the same problem, but have always just used the built in speakers. [15:11] frostburn, i have window + numpad 6 set to move the window to take 1/2 the screen on the right side on first push, then 3/4 the window on second push then full width on third push [15:11] what can happens if I run apt-get -f install? [15:11] gunksta, it doesn't even start dude. [15:12] frostburn, window + other numpad keys do the same for those directions [15:12] gunksta, this tutorial is kinda useless [15:12] gunksta, i am not talking about client connect to pg server [15:12] hey can anyone help me plz i use ubuntu 9.10 and some applications dont run when i click on them [15:12] gunksta, the server itself never starts === guido is now known as Guest82952 [15:12] souffledev - that's weird. [15:13] hey [15:13] airtonix, ah ha, ok found it, i'll play around with these settings, i bet i can get something more optimal than even win 7's default [15:13] gunksta, i pull it from from standard ubuntu repo and it should at the very least start the server yeah?

[15:13] souffledev - yes [15:13] anyone knows how to make one of the ttys for example tty3 to load irssi after login? [15:14] souffledev - try this /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 stop && /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start [15:14] gunksta, i am starting to believe that the package is broken [15:14] how do I add a directory to every user's PATH? [15:14] souffledev - my idea needs sudo, sorry [15:14] rocket16: use geany, that's what I do and you obviously have experience with it [15:14] mguy, so with dd can i just do an exact clone of *everything* ? what about restoring, am i limited to restoring to the same hardware? [15:14] souffledev: the package may be broken now, not sure. I'm on lucid but it did work for me on karmic [15:14] gunksta, that's ok. i own the box.

But, it would have been better it the feature have been implemented in Gedit as well [15:15] gunksta, ^^ [15:15] rocket16: There may be a plugin for gedit that does that, have you check out that tab in the preferences? or added the gedit-plugins package? [15:15] !postgresql [15:15] Who was I speaking to earlier about the 5100AGN? [15:16] Pici, you got anything about pg 8.4 on karmic? [15:16] it's horribly broken i think [15:16] doesn't create directories and necessary files [15:16] The inhibit applet doesn't inhibit when I close the lid. Any body have any ideas? [15:17] this system did not have pg prior to installing 8.4 [15:17] so in essence it's clean [15:17] Pici: Yes, I have done in Preferences, but thanks for the plugins package. I am downloading it, really thanks. [15:17] Mr. Martin Pitt. Kindly help if you're around.

[15:19] Does anyone have any updated information on how to set a different OS as default in grub? every website I've referenced so far mentions editing menu.lst, but my grub folder doesn't even have that file, so I'm assuming that is an old way of handling this issue.

[15:27] airtonix, checking that out too, thanks for the info =] [15:27] wyclif_: do you have file /et/default/grub [15:27] wyclif it's normal i don't have that file there either [15:27] etc* [15:28] Pici, which file the data dirs and the rest? [15:28] look in /boot and see if there is a grub config file there. maybe somehow you got an old version of grub. [15:28] geekphreak: I have loads of default files for other services, but no grub file [15:28] Hi gys, could anyone help me with my aptitude/apt-get please? [15:28] geekphreak: and yet grub is def. running [15:29] you have scripts to make grub.cfg in /etc/grub.d [15:29] wyclif_: ok [15:29] souffledev: The file itself. It looks like the postgres-8.4 package only distributes a sample file in /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/postgresql.conf.sample [15:29] Pici, why? [15:29] geekphreak: just listed contents of /etc/default lots of services like hal but no grub [15:29] After installing java through apt-get, java-docs didnt install (it said to type no+return to abort). I didnt really need the docs, so I just aborted it-- but now everytime i install something via apt-get it keeps coming up. I've been ignoring it for awhile, but its starting to drive me insane.

You can ignore my question :P [15:32] galerien, sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get install -f [15:32] ok [15:32] i'll trie it, thx [15:32] abulu: doesn't really matter. Apt knows why it installed something. Did you ask for it specifically (user required) or was it installed as a dependancy. In the latter case autoremove will try to take it off the system if it is no longer required. That's why reinstalling it will fix the issue, because it will set the package to required.

[15:34] @pirearadu where are you from? [15:34] wyclif_: whats in /boot/grub ? [15:34] gunksta: Very slow, I use audacious [15:34] romania galerien [15:35] anyone knows how to make one of the ttys for example tty3 to load automatic irssi after being loged? [15:35] @pirearadu You don't speak french I suppose? (cause i've got a great tutorial, in french) [15:35] abulu: yes - it looks like sudo apt-get install --reinstall yourpackagehere [15:35] :geekphreak: /boot/grub/default :) [15:35] wyclif_: thats all , no menu.lst or grub. cfg? [15:36] no stage files? [15:36] erUSUL: oops yeah. wrong tab [15:36] and know how to speak French but little galerien [15:36] ok, just hold on a second, I don't know if you will understand it all, but it might give you some leeds [15:37] gunksta, ok, but how can I know what package should I put on the end of the command? [15:37] geekphreak: no, that's not all, you're right, I have menu.lst but NO grub.cfg [15:37] wyclif_: you are using old grub [15:37] geekphreak: yes, stage files too [15:38] geekphreak: Ah! the plot thickens... [15:38] wyclif_: you will have to edit the mneu.lst file [15:38] geekphreak: I now wonder why my grub didn't update [15:38] abulu: from our conversation it sounds like apt wants to remove something that you want to keep. Reinstall that package. [15:38] hi people [15:38] hy pakau [15:38] i have a question [15:38] :) [15:38] do u know this site ? [15:39] what question? [15:39] http://www.getdeb.net/welcome/ [15:39] gunksta, I had tryed this, but apt ask me to remove the packages I told u... [15:39] im trying to install a game from there [15:39] i kow man [15:39] geekphreak: just opened menu.lst with vim [15:39] and? [15:39] ok [15:39] wyclif_: ok [15:39] gunksta, if I type "Y" apt will remove [15:39] i installed one [15:39] but now [15:39] im getting a message [15:39] could not find the pakage 'Oad'. [15:39] Has anyone noticed that when "preseeding" an automatic installation of Ubuntu, particularly when an existing drive configuration is present, it asks to confirm the changes to the disk. I have the proper settings in my preseed to skip this, but it always prompts me. Has anyone been able to fix this? [15:39] wyclif when you have a menu on startup does it say 0.97 or 1.96 or something? [15:40] peleczek: I'll have to check elsewhere, cos that will require a reboot otherwise ;) [15:40] abulu: no need to remove anything. ANY apt command will trigger the autoremove message, if there's anything apt wants to auto-remove. if you throw out apt-get instal --reinstall foobar it should reinstall foobar, not remove it. [15:40] abulu: what's the list of stuff apt wants to remove? [15:40] pakau search the executable of game in /usb/bin [15:40] abulu: and what do you want to keep? [15:41] but i could install it :S [15:41] peleczek: I guess I just figured out it's not the most current version of grub [15:41] i just installed and run one [15:41] but now this one [15:41] i cant install :S [15:41] pakau what game is it? [15:41] wyclif_: you still have that menu.lst open? [15:41] hmm [15:41] wait [15:41] wyclif_ ok i thought you maybe saw it accidentally and remeber [15:41] pakau wait 2 sec [15:41] I'm trying to run winamp under wine.

[16:52] hey all. i was installing lampp and i try to browse localhost with mozilla, but it's not connect. so, how to configure that? [16:53] tropicalpunch: yes. [16:53] great. thank you [16:53] phill_: Did you recently have any issues booting or shutting down your computer, or a power outage? [16:54] yeah, something along those lines [16:54] how to configure lampp please??? [16:54] trying to remember exactly what happened... [16:54] H3ct0r: Look in .conf files for the Listen directive. [16:55] theadmin: :p [16:56] theadmin, where is it? [16:56] Pici: do you think power suge messed up that error ? [16:57] H3ct0r: I'm unsure... I think, though, that it's somewhere around /etc [16:57] I think the laptop went into hibernate mode and then pressing power button did a full reboot instead of unhibernate. Something along those lines. But I'm fuzzy on the details. Normally, I leave it on all the time. Or, I shutdown and restart... [16:57] geekphreak: It looks like one of apt's cache files was corrupted. Can you try running: sudo apt-get update in a terminal. [16:57] i'm trying to set a program to run when my machine boots up. example: Skype [16:57] oh ok [16:57] theadmin, yup i found it. but, i think it's ok. it's look like in windows [16:57] H3ct0r: is apache even started? [16:58] ya [16:58] phill_: I got the same problem before but... really don't remember the solution . =.= [16:58] phill_: you heard him , open terminal plz, then run run sudo apt-get update [16:58] H3ct0r: Hm. Strange. [16:58] k [16:59] geekphreak: No need for that, I'm not in a hurry. [16:59] Pici: its kool mate, i am still learning :) [17:00] k, done [17:00] karma_police: Look into crontabs, /etc/init and System - Preferences - Startup Apps [17:00] How can I change the name of an USB key?

[17:00] H3ct0r: You sure it works? Try "pgrep httpd" [17:01] no errors. Ubuntu Software Centre seems to be up and hasn't abandoned on me yet. So, it looks good. Thanks a whole bunch guys. [17:01] phill_: yay, good to hear. [17:01] phill_: awesome :) [17:02] any ideas why? [17:02] Good evening. I haven't done this in a while, and I'm wondering if someone could refresh my memory... Can one change the sizes of existing partitions? Specifically NTFS partitions. I want to install Ubuntu on a Compaq prebuilt computer with XP pre-installed on it, but I don't necessarily want to remove XP. I'd like a dual boot system, but the entire partition is consumed by the XP NTFS partition... [17:02] fasta: System -> Admininstration -> Disk Utility [17:02] and how can I encrypt the partition using Truekrypt? [17:02] theadmin, it's result : 8112, 8220, 8264, 8265, 8266, 8267, 8268 [17:02] Draggin: gparted... [17:02] H3ct0r: Hm. So you were right. No idea then. [17:02] I have Startup Applications Preferences GUI open. I am trying to add a Skype instance so it will load when i reboot my machine. [17:02] mrMax: , when it is installed, start it up , it will guide you step by step , [17:02] theadmin - okay... But I don't have Ubuntu installed yet... [17:02] gparted is clearer i think [17:02] H3ct0r: 'sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start' to initiate the webserver [17:02] Draggin: You need just a livecd [17:02] Draggin: the Ubuntu livecd will manage it all for you [17:03] theadmin - okay... Didn't know the livecd had that... [17:03] Draggin: Also defrag your ntfs partition before resizing or you'll end up with buncha errors [17:03] iromli, ya. i was done [17:03] theadmin, that user-interface is really bad. [17:03] So in other words, I can resize the NTFS partition in gparted without losing data? [17:03] geekphreak: I started it, but now? What to do? [17:03] the livecd has everything pretty much [17:03] theadmin, I see all kinds of fields, but I cannot change them, probably because it is mounted. [17:03] Draggin: just make sure you defrag etc first [17:03] lol [17:03] mrMax: read the documentation man :) , it is pretty straight forward [17:04] theadmin, but a user shouldn't need to care about that and the UI should inform the user that _because_ it is mounted it cannot be changed. [17:04] Readout - defrag etc... What else should I do other than defrag? [17:04] fasta: I am not responsible for this UI. [17:04] Draggin: defrag and run chkdsk on it and you're all set [17:04] Draggin: standard disk utility checks. check for errors, defrag and so on [17:04] H3ct0r: and what localhost returns? [17:04] theadmin, © 2008 Red Hat, Inc. [17:04] fasta: huh wha [17:04] theadmin, Readout, thanks very much :) Lemme go see if I can manage this... [17:04] geekphreak: I started reading. Could any bad thing happen, if i misconfigure something? [17:04] Ciao! [17:04] listen to theadmin, he uses better words than i do [17:04] theadmin, (they wrote it, apparently) [17:05] theadmin, iromli. thanks. it's was run. but i dunno how? [17:05] fasta: Oh. [17:05] mrMax: is there any data currently on that drive , that ya wana encrypt? [17:05] yes [17:06] H3ct0r: Can you connect to "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost"? [17:06] mrMax: what i would suggest is , make an empty partition, encrypt it using truecrypt, then put data on it :) [17:07] mrMax: ok? , use an empty partition to encrypt, then put data on it after encryption [17:07] geekphreak: is there any other way to encrypt the whole Partition [17:07] ya. it's run in localhost or 127.0.0.1 [17:08] OK, new twist on my sound problems. The strange click noise stops when I mute and then unmute in Sound Preferences, but returns when I reboot. Turning the volume down to 0 and back up, or muting using the mute button on the keyboard doesn't stop the noise. Any clues? [17:08] mrMax: there is always a way, but it is better to start with empty partition imho, if someone else has better tool that they can share, go for it :) [17:08] TrueCrypt is one heck of an awesomeness :D [17:09] geekphreak: I thougt I could encrypt the whole file system === z is now known as Guest35054 [17:10] l; [17:10] TrueCrypt in Linux hasnt' supported encrypting of the whole hard disk, rite?

I wrote: mount uid=502 gid=502 /dev/sda2 /mnt/mac, but I think that's not the place for those options [17:27] When I open VirtualBox (It is already on the USB stick) - I come to an installer.

I tried every advice from the ubuntu forum with sound problem thread... it just doesn`t work... [17:30] geekphreak: it's much more stable.. i dunno why [17:30] geekphreak: running firefox as root is bad, it messes with permissions in the .mozilla folder [17:30] Pici: whats the shortcut key to xkill ? [17:30] pyMitch there is only General tab, page setup, page handling, job, image quality, color , advanced [17:30] h00k: just testing it [17:30] geekphreak: nope.. same thing again :( [17:30] I can boot up the Live cd of Lucid Lynx beta 2, but when I install and reset it freezes at the ubuntu splash screen.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:32] Eighteens how do you use ubuntu without any sound ? [17:32] I just got a steering wheel controller CHEAP. It works, but needs calibration. I'm trying to remember the comand [17:32] i have a new computer but compiz won't get running so I can't use AWN. I have gotten to the white cube but no further [17:32] command [17:32] pyMitch u there? [17:32] While trying to fix dead keys not working, I screwed ut (not sure how). Is it possible to restore conf files concerning everything keyboard to what it just after installing? [17:33] j_: yes [17:33] j_ do you have Advanced Tab?

[17:37] Eighteens: I know nothing about the issue, but I see lots of discussion on google under "ubuntu sound on the HP DV6" [17:37] strange: your best bet is in screen settings (I think thats what it is listed as) [17:38] nope it only lists up to like 640x480 [17:38] which is no fun on 26" [17:38] strange: go to system>preferences> [17:38] umm [17:38] can i force it in xorg.conf maybe? [17:38] strange: are you sure you have the right driver? [17:39] if i boot with the other screen hooked up and then switch screens it works perfectly [17:39] the other screen works 100% and is the exact same one so i guess driver is fine [17:39] strange: are they different model screens? [17:39] nope [17:39] strange: Oh.. could be a faulty screen? [17:40] when running 'kate' text editor on gnome, what could be the reason that ctrl+z is not working? [17:40] only on bootup then which is what makes it odd, if it wouldnt do the resolution at all that would make sense but it works perfect if i dont boot with it [17:40] brontosaurusrex: have you checked the keybindings/mappings? [17:41] strange: Could you say that again? [17:41] :P [17:41] wyclif_: where? in kate or ... ?

[17:42] JRid: why do cows chew grass? [17:42] cool thx [17:42] abstrakt: np [17:42] JRid do you have video drivers installed? [17:42] JRid: does your video card support Compiz? It's resource-intensive for an older computer [17:42] y [17:42] pyMitch: it displays all the way just not at a decent resolution (640x480) max [17:43] maby i meed to reinst? [17:43] strange: but the other screen the exact same works higher? [17:43] need :)\ === arm is now known as Guest86001 [17:43] strange: that must be a faulty screen then! [17:43] wyclif_: well it says ctrl+ [17:43] Jrid: have you checked to see if it's turned on in the System/Preferences menu? [17:43] wyclif_: ctrl+z [17:44] zambaboo, because they don't chew metal [17:44] ok thanks will look [17:44] strange: if the other exact same screen works [17:44] brontoaurusrex: Ctrl-Z it is then [17:44] strange: it comes down to the hard ware [17:44] strange: :) [17:45] wyclif_: very interesting .... [17:45] strange: send it back to the shop you got it from if it still has return time left [17:46] Hey guy, how do I put a folder inside of Places?

Alsa-Mixer? [17:47] or is there something lighter? [17:47] Does anyone know if Magicjack is going to work with 10.04? [17:47] pyMitch: nice. thanks you bunches [17:47] clutch: maybe just alsa [17:47] ravigehlot: Glad i could help :) [17:47] AceKing: Perhaps ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:47] strange: then i dont know..

[18:03] zaxonspox, a mac HFS+ partition [18:04] NinoScript: no read writte support for hfs+ in linux i'm afraid [18:04] lotsa Netherlands traffic tonight :) [18:04] #omgkpop [18:04] erUSUL, there is read support, but I don't know why I need to be root to be my Mac's home folder :\ [18:05] to see* [18:05] NinoScript: its all about how its mounted with what options. [18:05] Dr_Willis, '-o uid=502,gid=502' didn't work [18:06] NinoScript: and where did you get the 502 from? [18:06] #omgstaff [18:06] alguem poderia me explicar por favor como configura o partições no conky?

[18:09] Pici, I need to calibrate it [18:09] fabio_: Check on their support site [18:09] Dr_Willis, that's what it says in MacOSX that my user is, and the folder I cannot open without being root in Ubuntu, when I see permisions, says User 502, Group Dialout [18:09] I have apache2 installed. I notice that httpd.conf is a 0-length file, instead of the long, thoroughly commented file I'd expect. How can I check Apache's settings? [18:09] it will be super cool if the LXDE project gets integrated and adopted by Ubuntu (as they suggest it will be) [18:09] NinoScript: If you are mounting it IN linux/Ubuntu - you want your Linux USERS uid/gid. not the mac users uid/gid [18:09] wyclif_: See the lubuntu-desktop metapackage. === eguest039__ is now known as eguest039 [18:10] you can install it manually [18:10] ...you also want to see names rather than numbers. [18:10] NinoScript: try uid=1000 perhaps. [18:10] Pici: yes, I am looking forward to downloading lubuntu-desktop later tonight [18:10] Pici, jscalibrate? Is that right? [18:10] FoolishOwnl apache2.conf [18:11] AegNuddel: It sounds familiar, but I haven't used it myself. [18:11] Dr_Willis, just in case, I already tried that, didn't work [18:11] NinoScript: time to check the forums for HFS+ ussage I guess. I use uid=1000 or umask options for ntfs/vfat all the time. [18:11] Pici, ok [18:12] FoolishOwl: Look in the *.d directories in the /etc/apache2 folder, especially the conf.d directory. Ubuntu breaks-out the Apache configuration.

I doubt it as shared libs.. is there any tool to identify the libs that is being used by a binary app [18:17] hi all is it possible to have 2 users with the same home directory. [18:17] @aneesh1: it is tricky.. but possible [18:17] aneesh1 it might be possible, but shouldnt be done [18:17] aneesh1: Change user1's home dir to user2's home dir and see what happens [18:17] aneesh1: why do you want that? [18:17] What is your reason for wanting to do this? [18:17] 2 users, one home directory... probably not. Probably more trouble than you're willing to tolerate. [18:18] anyway you'd have some things to fix with chmod then, aneesh1 [18:18] libs for an app? ldd [18:18] lett me try now [18:18] aneesh1: I recommend creating a sym link in one users home directory to create a universal folder [18:18] Pici: I am also a newbie to irssi, for some reason I can't join that channel using /join [18:18] @pyMitch: I need to provide ftp access for 2 users to one directory [18:18] is there any way?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [18:27] zaxonspox: no on a dell pc [18:28] SysInfo: uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic Distro: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu [18:28] : 1920x1080 (32 bpp) Netinfo: eth0: In: 5.43M Out: 0.23M [18:28] zaxonspox: so, at first i thought it was the hardware, but it clearly isn't [18:28] yay.. [18:28] :) [18:28] spidy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:28] should i just install karmic fresh from a USB key? [18:28] jwm--canada: should you or you want to¿¿ [18:29] pyMitch: well, you can always just run Amarok and GNOME, but that's not very cohesive UX-wise, I admit... [18:29] it's a new computer, no data to worry about. i just want to get things right from the beginning and if a litle back track is necessary, so be it [18:29] jwm--canada: That is an option if you don't feel like fixing this.. it would use grub2 exclusively and probably work [18:29] wyclif: Yeh, and perforance impact on loading tqt [18:29] hi ! | _TonyStark_ [18:30] <_TonyStark_> wyclif hi there [18:30] that's within my capability [18:30] jwm--canada: Right now, you have grub1 chainloading grub2 and it seems to not have installed the kernels right [18:30] iSUKatLINUX install gstreamer with ffmpeg [18:30] pyMitch yes, not exactly a snappy load time [18:30] the kernel entries, anyway [18:30] zaxonspox: ooooh, i really did that [18:30] no dice [18:30] is it possible to force to reinstall all currently installed packages ? [18:30] would the kernel mismatch explain some pretty sluggish performance? [18:31] Apachez: That would effectively accomplish nothing [18:31] Apachez: What problem are you having? [18:31] iSUKatLINUX can VLC handle mpeg4? [18:31] do you have a WD Green drive Canada? [18:31] its not me [18:31] it was the avahi daemon that did it this time [18:31] but im helping someone who have done something f**ked up with his system and want to reinstall all packages (without doing it ALL from the scratch) [18:31] zaxonspox: nut sure i;; check [18:31] Apachez: that will kill your system [18:32] VLC pretty much handles it all... [18:32] jedediah, i don't know what that is, so i guess not [18:32] aptitude reinstall '~i' is supposed to do that [18:32] iSUKatLINUX: what's your problem¿¿ [18:32] but that whines about intermediate something... [18:32] xangua: Okay, I got a puzzle: I installed ubuntu 904 but it gave me no sound. Then I RAN, not install ubuntu 8, and i can play mp3s just fine, but now it says "The playback of this movie requires a XVID MPEG-4 decoder plugin which is not installed", when i try to play AVI [18:32] WD Green Drives can be a performance killer because they LIE about what they are for legacy WinXP support reasons. === noel is now known as Guest16672 [18:33] ok, I'm going for the other solution… change my ubuntu uid :D [18:33] not my issue--thanks for your help soreau [18:33] iSUKatLINUX: why don't you use karmic koala¿¿ [18:33] They are newer hard drives with a larger physical block size. [18:33] iSUKatLINUX: have you installed restricted extras¿¿ [18:34] Is there anyway to do like the wubi thing but with another linux version? [18:34] NinoScript http://viaforensics.com/computer-forensic-howtos/how-to-mount-mac-os-x-hsf-partition-in-linux.html [18:34] xangua: I just would like help to play avis in ubuntu 8. but it says "The playback of this movie requires a XVID MPEG-4 decoder plugin which is not installed", when i try to play AVI [18:34] If you don't handle them just right you end up with performance problems. That rightful handling is complicated by the fact that they lie to us for XP's benefit. [18:34] jwm--canada: You know, I just thought of one other thing [18:34] Sa[i]nT: There isn't [18:34] iSUKatLINUX: ubuntu 8, ubuntu 9¿¿ do you even know what are you using¿¿ [18:34] Sa[i]nT: Sorry [18:34] jwm--canada: Can you show the output of 'ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg'? [18:34] Wubi is a ubuntu only thing [18:34] "new box" + "performance problem" made me think of the WD thing.

[18:37] cd /dev/input [18:37] zer0her0 installed from deb or from tar.gz? [18:37] zer0her0: Your eclipse installation shouldn't live in ~/bin/ put a symlink to the eclipse exeutable in there instead. [18:37] oops [18:38] zaxonspox: from tar [18:38] good, i love ignore [18:38] Pici: it runs fine if i cd into the directory [18:38] zer0her0 then you could run it from every where, why putting it to /bin?

[18:40] someone got problem connecting in MSN (pidgin, Amsn or emesene?) [18:40] hey how can i apply permissions set in nautilus recursively? [18:40] zer0her0: But ~/bin/ isn't for putting application folders into, its for putting executables into. [18:40] hmm [18:40] pici i created ~/bin [18:40] zer0her0: Is there a reason [18:40] it's not a normal directory [18:41] dreamnid: I'm not even sure nautilus has that capability. Why not use CLI? [18:41] zer0her0: you should put its in /usr/sbin/ [18:41] pyMitch: ah they are actually finally up to 3.5 [18:41] dremits: I'm not even sure nautilus has that capability. Why not use your terminal? [18:41] jyraia: do you have the latest versions of pidgin, emesene, amsn¿¿ [18:42] last i check they were still on 3.2 or something [18:42] pyMitch: er, sbin should only be for system administration binaries. [18:42] yeah [18:42] pidgin is 2.6.6 and emesene is 1.6 jyraia [18:42] xangua, yes [18:42] this is the 3rd time that i reinstall Linux [18:42] zer0her0: ~/bin/ is typically the path thats added to your $PATH [18:42] Ubuntu [18:42] to try connect [18:42] with Xubuntu i didn't had this problems [18:42] Pici: ~/bin/ doesn't exist on a normal linux system, i created it, and added apps to it [18:43] * soreau flips xangua upside down so his question marks are right side up [18:43] they all run fine, even eclipse if i cd into it [18:43] soreau: i am. wouldn't mind a gui alternative as well if for example i'm just browsing with a GUI file manager and want to quickly alter permissions without loading terminal. it's not a big problem. i just wondered [18:43] it's just freaking out about permissions/execution when i try to do it from a diff location [18:43] I try to mount my cdrom with a disc in it and I get an error that says "mount: no medium found..." [18:43] zer0her0: Bash does not look in that folder normally [18:43] dremits: If it's possible, I don't know of the way to do it [18:43] jyraia: then no idea; for pidgin help you can try #pidgin; i have no isues with both apps [18:43] zer0her0: to do it more elegantly [18:43] dremits: but I think nautilus doesn't have this feature [18:43] Hi, I want to be able to mount all my drives automatically when I log in with my main user account, but only that account. Any other users have to enter the administrator password. How do I do that [18:43] soreau: ok doesn't matter [18:43] http://paste.debian.net/68861/ <--- see that in dmesg [18:43] pyMitch: yes i know i added it to my $PATH variable [18:44] stuckey tryed with different cd's? [18:44] stuckey: thanks anyway. no biggy [18:44] zer0her0: oh [18:44] zaxonspox: yes and it worked [18:44] zer0her0: ~/bin/ is the canonical location for user binaries. [18:44] ok, on my previous xubuntu install sound was fine. minimal install + fluxbox has no sound now though. I have installed alsa-base, alsa-utils, alsa-tools, linux-sound-base [18:44] This can't be a bad dvd though -- it worked for like several weeks. I just burned it a few weeks ago. And it's a yuden disc.

[18:45] zer0her0: this seems like alot of effort over nothing [18:45] stay with only loging in [18:46] pyMitch: you're exactly right [18:46] zer0her0: Lol [18:46] this convo is useless [18:46] zer0her0: It exists if you're root ;) [18:46] still here with the following question: does a Core 2 processor need the 64 bit PC version of karmic?

[18:47] zer0her0: I was thinking of /bin [18:47] whatever meeting time [18:47] jyraia for pidgin install msn-pecan: sudo apt-get install msn-pecan [18:47] jwm--canada: Well I think 64bit has more bugs in general but it's capable of handling more than 4GB RAM [18:47] lol, not even making a new user with UID 502 worked :P [18:47] jwm--canada: not really.. the performance increase is not really noticable for normal use.. the 64bit version can use more than 4GB or RAM though.. that's the only reason I know [18:47] jyraia_: then change your msn acount to a wlm and try [18:48] jwm--canada: 64bit is only needed when you have over 4gb of memory installed (Including graphics memory) [18:48] (12:47:39) xangua: jyraia for pidgin install msn-pecan: sudo apt-get install msn-pecan - jyraia_ * [18:48] I am trying to install ImageMagick onto my ubuntu machine, I followed the guide on the imagemagick site, but it seems I have done something wrong, How do I remove any installations of ImageMagick and start again if you will? [18:48] jwm--canada: oh.. and 64bit gets you that warm feeling of being on the edge ;) [18:48] zaxonspox: btw, that page didn't help :P [18:48] jwm--canada: your processor also handles double the information in one go [18:49] jwm--canada: although that doesn't mean its faster [18:49] who tell me what it do pleaze : http://pastebin.com/kzAF4zAH [18:49] stuckey is this cd and UDF one?

My computer has no port for the cards, so I'm using this usb rig. Anyone know how to mount it up? [19:29] Krish-1: use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [19:29] darolu: yes, because the microfon is not working in skype and all other applications. sometimes, when i type "alsamixer" into the terminal and set the input source to ext mic, it will be work, but now it doesn't work anytime... :( [19:30] hello all. I have an officejet v40 that prints a test page after terminal command "sudo hp-setup" but i cant get openoffice to print...what gives?

[19:30] Craigbass1976: if you put a card in the reader and wait a while, does the partition show in the output of: sudo parted -l [19:30] xangua: thanks [19:31] is there a terminal command i can use to print from OO directly? [19:31] Harrison_bergero: do you have the latest hplip? [19:31] wyclif: i usually uninstall gnome-power-manager so it stops dimming my screen, but then if i leave it unplugged i know no way to auto-hibernate when the battery is low [19:31] ActionParsnip, Nope, just regular filesystems [19:31] sometimes when i want to install new software or package in ubuntu when i type make, terminal show me an error about target [19:31] Slart: the url gives me what I want. Thank you! [19:32] ActionParsnip, i dont know. How do i tell? [19:32] kermit: if you have dimming turned off in the app I have no idea what would cause that though [19:32] koosha: You usually get it from repositories. Make requires a makefile. You must run a configure script or write one. [19:32] ActionParsnip, I'm jus tnot sure what filesystem these usually use (fat?) and where in /dev/ I should be using to mount it [19:32] Is there a Maverick Meerkat room yet? [19:32] How can I "make install" into a .deb file so that I can then install/uninstall the deb. [19:32] Harrison_bergero: get the install script from the hplip site, make it executable and run it as your user (not sudo) in a terminal [19:33] darolu: i hope that this problems with the ALC888-Chipset in lucid is fixed.. [19:33] Harrison_bergero: ok then run: lsusb;lspci ,see what the card reader is, it may need a module modprobing to work (some ricoh readers need it extra modules) [19:34] schweegi: well my german knowledge is not good but it seems it can't find the "patch" command, try installing it with "sudo apt-get install patch" and try again [19:34] :O [19:34] SauLus: you're welcome === mike_ is now known as Guest933 [19:34] is there a power manager besides gnome-power-manager ?

I received Permission Denied after executing ./configure http://pastebin.com/vQvHuvXH [19:35] Krish: run the command then copy the output to the website to make a paste, when you click the paste button the page will change, copy the address in the address bar and paste it here [19:35] darolu: thank you :) now, "make" seems to work..

(1 char?) [20:25] eror code 15 file not found [20:25] i have a seperate home partition [20:25] how do i enter that confi-grub thing you got popping up when you installed 10.4? [20:25] if you upgraded and can't boot then it is the packages you updates [20:25] Lekefly: absolutely, read the grub (or grub2) documentation online to see how its done === spookan is now known as [Spooky] === izola86_ is now known as izola86 [20:26] Bigbrumbrum: hold shift at boot makes grub2 show its options [20:26] grub error 15 help please [20:26] jack_singh & ActionParsnip doest seem like GRUB is corrupt.. just the ubuntu files.. [20:26] joso: looks good now -- but just to make sure that doesn't happen again your should edit that file and remove some unneeded lines - do you want to do that? [20:27] bsmith093: you may need to reinstall grub [20:27] how do i wipe and reinstall grub [20:27] ActionParsnip : Even which images to add? [20:27] !grub | bsmith093 [20:27] bsmith093: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [20:28] will this work if im running off of a live cd [20:28] Seems i just have to reinstall then;/ doh.. thats 2 tb gone:p [20:28] bsmith093: it's actually necessary to do it from a LiveCD [20:28] Bigbrumbrum: images are automagically added in postinst. [20:28] Lekefly: you don't, just reinstall grub via livecd [20:29] ActionParsnip: but grub isnt the problem :p [20:29] Ubuntu "core" files are.. [20:29] the ipage is really slo loading can u list the commands if i have a seperate home partition [20:29] bsmith093: http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/ [20:29] it says server temporarily unavailible [20:30] thanks ill try th link [20:30] argh [20:30] Lekefly: then boot to livecd and chroot to the system to fix [20:30] i may have to kill someone [20:30] cannot get these shares to work at all [20:31] Bizzeh: yes flawlessly using samba [20:31] bsmith093: if you want to install GRUB2 instead: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [20:31] I have a webpage with images linked together, I've been trying to download them, I can't seem to get it to work. The links seem to be http://site/itemId=number then http://site/itemId=number+x (x is different each time, but x > 1), any ideas? [20:31] Bizzeh: I have an age old smb.conf which I simply restore after installing samba then restart the service then create my samba user for authentication === tung_away is now known as tongueroo [20:32] im not sharing on the ubuntu box, i want the ubuntu box to connect to a win7 share [20:33] will this still work if i have the home partition split off from the main install [20:33] it says grub is on hd00 [20:33] but when it boots up it fails on loading hd00 [20:34] guntbert: hey. I've been logged off. Have you read my list? [20:34] quick question... is it bad to have kpowersave and the native power management program running at the same time? [20:34] joso: looks good now -- but just to make sure that doesn't happen again your should edit that file and remove some unneeded lines - do you want to do that? [20:34] you want ondemand [20:34] just has ondemand set in your kernel, and your good [20:35] guntbert: yes, np. just lead me step by step. [20:35] bsmith093: yes it works with split home partition; make sure you are using the right value (hd0,0) or (hd0,4) etc... [20:35] joso: I guess you are more comfortable with a graphical editor? [20:36] it says grub (or whatever stage 1 stage 2 are) is on hd0,0 so thats where i reinstalled it to [20:36] do i reboot now [20:36] guntbert: you're right :) [20:36] bsmith093: yeah [20:37] if i till get the error can i reinstall ubuntu to the small partition with out blowing away the home partition and losing all my data [20:37] bsmith093: yes, your /home partition will remain intact (including files and configuration) if you don't format it [20:37] guntbert: i opened i file sources.list as root. what lines to remove? [20:37] joso: then (in the terminal) type sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup -- (just in case...) should give no answer [20:38] joso: guntbert: if a repository line is causing problem, remember to edit files at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ also [20:38] thanks darolu [20:39] im rebooting now [20:39] guntbert: just as u said, no answer [20:39] bsmith093: good luck [20:39] darolu: thx for the hint - we had the problem of dapper sources in a karmic install though [20:39] joso: how did you "open the file as root"? [20:40] (you see I can be picky :-)) [20:40] darolu: it was damn problem, system was trying to update my ubuntu with updates from 2006! :) [20:40] I'm running the lucid b2 ... is it correct that update manager should be wanting to update 350ish packages today (I did the upgrade a couple of days ago)... has something big changed? [20:41] StevenR: lucid support in #ubuntu+1 [20:42] has anyone else noticed that their apt-get update hangs at 99%, or is it just me? :( [20:42] loonyjuice: it's not just a repository that isn't answering? [20:42] My repo hasn't changed [20:42] hi. i have a user1 > homedir /home/user1 ... and a user2 /home/user2 ... user1 = group1 .. user2 = group2 ... how can i set, that user2 has full access to the homedir of user1? [20:42] it just says waiting for headers [20:43] loonyjuice: yes.. because the repository isn't answering ... like I said [20:43] loonyjuice: if a repo host (server) is slow, there's not much you can do :( [20:43] I see [20:43] loonyjuice: just like www.yahoo.com doesn't work sometimes.. [20:44] joso: how did you "open the file as root"? [20:44] how can i give a user access to foreign user homedir? [20:44] Slart: thanks. [20:44] Trashi: use groups [20:45] Tr0gd0r: change the permissions on the directory [20:45] Trashi: I'm not sure there is a good way to allow just one other user access to your files.. you can change permissions to allow access to everyone.. that's easier [20:45] allow group foogroup access, put user in foogroup [20:45] StevenR: i did add user2 to group of user1 but user2 hasnt access to homedir of user1? :/ [20:45] Trashi: what are the permissions on the homedir? [20:45] Trashi: you might be able to do some voodoo using one of the extra security frameworks.. selinux and whatnot [20:46] Slart: normal unix perms and groups should be simple and fine. [20:46] StevenR: user: user1 group: user1 [20:46] whilst I'm here, can anyone explain why top claims my memory free is about 50MB, yet conky reports 2GB free? [20:46] Trashi: *permissions* [20:46] srry, w8 [20:46] Trashi: that's ownerships :) [20:46] StevenR: drwxr-xr-x === bonnie is now known as acovrig [20:47] Trashi: did user2 log out and log in again? [20:47] StevenR: I've always come to the conclusion that regular permissions with groups and owners are nice for simple stuff.. but harder for weird permission setups... it might just be that I've not "seen the light" yet though =) [20:47] Trashi: does id user2 show them as being in user1 group [20:47] Slart: POSIX ACLs then [20:47] loonyjuice: top sees cached memory as used? [20:47] anyone know how to make one of the tty to load automaticly irssi after user has logged [20:47] it should not be this hard to connect to a windows share [20:48] StevenR: oh.. never used those.. are those supported by default? [20:48] group and anybody seems to have the same access here StevenR, Trashi [20:48] peleczek: .profile or .bashrc ? [20:48] !lucid [20:48] 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 [20:48] Slart: don't know on ubuntu, they are on CentOS (which is what runs out fileservers).... I guess they probably should be. [20:49] StevenR: i will login and logout now^^ [20:49] StevenR: I think I've found some good articles about it on the ubuntu wikipedia.. seems interesting.. thanks! [20:49] guntbert: i was disconnected. Can we advance now? [20:49] Slart: ah, i see, thanks! [20:49] Slart i've studied both bash manual and i was looking for some examples of profile file but i haven't found anything about this issue [20:49] joso:of course -- how did you "open the file as root"? [20:49] Slart: WARNING: setfacl and getfacl may cause your brain to melt. [20:49] :P [20:50] loonyjuice: this site give you the same info.. but with more bling bling.. and a penguin =) http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [20:50] Is here anybody from Serbia ? [20:50] I will paypal $50 to anyone that can make my touchpad stop respodning to taps as clicks. [20:50] StevenR: I'll keep plenty of ice cream nearby =) [20:50] guntbert: i typed sudo gedit /etc/apt/source.file is this ok? [20:50] I've been asking about this for 2 weeks and no one can help me. I'm at my wits end. [20:50] StevenR: well, i did login/logout ... nothing xD .. is it right to put user2 in group of user1? [20:50] Trashi: what does id user2 show ? [20:51] joso: actually no - never use sudo with graphical apps - use gksudo instead [20:51] !gksudo | joso [20:51] joso: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:51] do I want dapper-backports or jaunty-backports? [20:51] uid=104(hudson) gid=105(hudson) Gruppen=105(hudson),511(beta) ... beta = user1 ; hudson = user2 [20:51] guntbert: ups. Ok, i'll remember this. [20:51] Trashi: and ls -l /home too please .... paste the one line that's relevant to the homedir [20:52] magn3ts: you want to disable your touchpad¿¿ [20:52] xangua, just so the tapping it causes it NOT to click [20:52] joso: and now after gksudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list you are in the editor [20:52] this is an option in gnome-mouse-properties but it doesn't fraking work [20:52] at all [20:52] StevenR: drwxr-xr-x 3 beta beta 4096 14. Apr 21:40 beta [20:52] magn3ts: Edit that feature using gconf-editor. I will get you the key, one sec [20:52] ok... is the wiki down? [20:53] guntbert: i typed that, but editor is not starting. what's the difference between sudo & gksudo? [20:53] Trashi: that looks right.... what happens when you try to cd into the dir? [20:53] anyone willing to help me with firefox ? ver 3.6.4pre (aka Namaroka) is having problems with flash 10.0.r45 if I don't disable the plugin and open a page containing flash firefox stops responding :( [20:54] StevenR: one moment [20:54] guntbert: restarted, working. But instead of my source file i get empty source file [20:54] magn3ts: in a terminal type `gconf-editor` then when it opens, browse to desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/ then untick the tap_to_click box [20:54] crucialhoax, don't bother, its already disabled in gconf-editor. The key is /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/tap_to_click [20:54] joso: sudo *can* mess up file permissions in your home directory [20:54] ok nevermind lol [20:54] Slart: cool, makes sense [20:54] magn3ts: And that key does not do it? [20:54] !partition [20:54] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [20:54] crucialhoax, nope. it ignores it. If I check it and then uncheck it, it works for about 10 minutes [20:55] joso: probably a typo in the line (you can use the key for completion here too) [20:55] loonyjuice: well.. I'm not sure if it makes sense.. but it's what the linux community has decided to use =) [20:55] guntbert: understand. I opened file, but it appears to be empty [20:55] Hi, i have two computers 130.12.25.1 and 172.25.25.201. Both runs openssh server, can ping each other and 130.12.25.1 can ssh to 172.25.25.201, but 172.25.25.201 cannot ssh to 130.12.25.1. How can i make them be able to ssh each other? thanks [20:55] and then I'll be sitting here typing and my hands will select a bunch of text and make me type over it (yeah, the disable touchpad while typing is an EVEN BIGGER JOKE) [20:55] magn3ts: Have you tried syndaemon? maybe that will do it. [20:55] crucialhoax, I've yet to have luck with it either to be honest [20:55] magn3ts what version of Ubuntu do You use? [20:55] magn3ts: try this... I did this on a laptop of mine. a dell latitude d400 and it worked http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/654/disabling-touchpad-taptoclick/ [20:55] peleczek, 9.10 Karmi [20:56] <[Spooky]> Is there any way to get more bass in the sound? Using the Ubuntu default music player... [20:56] magn3ts: Hm, mine works quite well. Let me give you the syndaemon I am running, just to try it :) [20:56] joso: you said so - you probably made a typo in the command - please check again [20:56] guntbert: it was typo error, nice how u noticed this. [20:56] usrlocalbin, I'll look at it [20:56] guntbert: got it now. [20:56] magn3ts: syndaemon -i 1 -d -K [20:57] joso: good, now leave the very first line in place, then delete all lines that start with # or ## [20:57] hi when I change songs in audacious it's extremely delayed [20:57] how do I fix this? [20:58] StevenR: i can reach the directory via cd but for example i cant create a now directory via mkdir or s.th. like this? [20:58] it should be instant [20:58] do I want dapper-backports or jaunty-backports? in my sources.list? [20:59] acovrig: It depends on what version you are running [20:59] joso: it should look like http://paste.ubuntu.com/414515/ [20:59] acovrig: jaunty is 9.04 [21:00] crucialhoax, I am running 9.04, is this ok for http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=525670 [21:00] guntbert: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/414517/ [21:00] StevenR: but i think that could be a chmod problem [21:00] how can i switch to another window, like alt+tab when i got a window open, which obviously doesn't support that? openarena, for example.. (I'm on KDE, if that's what matters) [21:00] acovrig: Yours will say jaunty instead of dapper. [21:01] ok, thanks [21:01] crucialhoax, would that have to be applied at every boot or how does syndaemon work? [21:01] magn3ts: Yes, it does. I added it to the startup programs. [21:01] magn3ts: It sticks through every boot. [21:01] crucialhoax, okay I'll give it a shot [21:02] joso: looks good - that way those old lines won't get in your way again [21:02] joso: please save the file and exit the editor [21:02] magn3ts: Just add it to the `Startup Applications` did you want the command again? [21:02] crucialhoax, no I got it [21:02] ok [21:03] acovrig: No problem. [21:03] I've got ubuntu on a USB drive, but it doesn't save any updates and changes to the drive, next time I boot up on it, it's back to how it was origionaly.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [21:04] Is there a possibility to maximize a window to full screen on gnome dual head configuration? [21:04] I think it's treating it as if it were a CD and not writing to the drive [21:04] because of xinerama my window will always 'maximize' into one screen [21:04] any idea how to change that? [21:04] guntbert: ok, that is solved. tnx for being my first ubuntu tutor. ;) [21:04] how would i apply svn in ubuntu 9.10? cd xbmc and then svn co http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk [21:04] would that work ^ [21:05] joso: you're welcome :-) nice we got it working - have fun [21:05] guntbert: do u know any good application for managing my wireless connections? === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [21:05] how do i install irssi-xmpp? [21:06] joso: I use the default: network-manager, but there is wicd too [21:06] guntbert: I also have problem, once i get disconnected, there's no way to connect again to network except to restart the syystem [21:06] guntbert: where can i find wicd? through apt - get install ? [21:07] Trashi: chmod 770 /home/user that'll give you write access [21:07] guntbert: found it. Tnx :) [21:07] nevermind about irssi-xmpp, its in snaptic [21:07] joso: please put that previous question to the channel (without my nick) - I just "use" wireless [21:07] StevenR: thank u very much [21:08] guntbert: what u mean by that "use" ? [21:08] joso: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/Wicd%20on%20Ubuntu [21:09] how would i install latest beta of xbmc? cd xbmc and then svn co http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk [21:09] I have a script that copies files to an external drive. if i manually run the script it backs up the files no problem. if i let cron run the script for some reason it tries to copy the two latest files to the disk instead of just the latest. [21:09] joso: I never had to try any tweaks - it just works for me (on my system) - so no experience here [21:09] How do i fix a ubuntu install with the live CD .. ? [21:09] what is the ubuntu equivalent of windows ctrl+alt+del? [21:09] if anyones good with scripting and cron i'll pastebin the files if that will help. [21:10] LekeFly: depends on what it needs fixing [21:10] tomeo: ctrl + alt + f1 [21:10] I would like to disable xinerama in ubuntu 9.10. how to do that? === XaS is now known as DarkZell666 [21:10] pleed: how did you enable it ? [21:10] tomeo: As in opening the task manager? [21:10] erUSUL: i have no idea.. getting kernel panic on boot.. think i has to do with packages from update.. [21:10] ikonia: didnt, was enabled after install. [21:11] Friends, really sorry to ask an offtopic question, but can anybody point me to a Windows gaming channel? (I am a Ubuntu user, but need to play a Windows game, :( ) [21:11] pleed: xinerma is not enabled by default, it requires manual setup [21:11] LekeFly: well if you do not know what is wrong; how do you plan to fix it? tried booting with an old kernel if the update included a new one? [21:11] rocket16: please dont ask an offtopic question [21:11] rocket16: try to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or in ##windows [21:11] ikonia: I said sorry already, [21:11] ikonia: all i did was adding some statements to xorg.conf for twin view. but i did not explicit enable xinerama [21:11] crucialhoax: your link isn't working [21:11] guntbert: Ok, thanks [21:12] erUSUL: Have no idea.. but my plan was to just to update all the packages.. think something is corrupt.. [21:12] rocket16: then don't do it, instead of saying sorry, please [21:12] rocket16, most any gaming channel will apply considering 99% of gaming is one windows [21:12] joso: One second [21:12] LekeFly: well you will need to chroot to the hard disk install [21:12] ikonia: I understand, please leave the issue [21:12] pleed: if you have enabled twinview, xinerma is not enabled, they can't exist together [21:12] !grub2 | LekeFly [21:12] LekeFly: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

[21:13] LekeFly: i know but as i said the grub wiki page has a step by step to chroot [21:13] ikonia: when i maximize a window, it just maximizes to _one_ screen size. that is xinerama isnt? [21:13] pleed: no [21:13] rocket16, youre not gonna stumble in a gaming channel and see folks turn you away because youre gaming on windows [21:13] pleed: xinerama is two seperate x servers configured to work as on [21:14] one [21:14] ikonia: okay, then my question is how can i maximize a window over both screens. [21:14] Can someone recommend a decent free large file transfer website. [21:14] can anyone tell me how i can install downloads that i downloaded on ubuntu onto windows xp that i have on the same pc which wont connect to the internet [21:14] zenlunatic: I see, [21:14] zenlunatic: please drop the offtopic conversation [21:14] pleed: you need to enable twinview (I assume you're using nvidia) and use the one desktop setting [21:14] ok, stupid question, what would cause me to no longer be able to drop to a console? [21:14] Hello [21:14] ikonia: using nvidia [21:14] Adyeths: "drop" a console ? [21:15] Is there a netbook version of the beta for 10.04? [21:15] hey guys, for a newbie to learn programing, what would be the best language to start with ? [21:15] drop to a console window so I can do stuff from the command line [21:15] pleed: then you need to configure twinview to use the virtual desktop/span 2 monitors [21:15] is here the right place to talk about shipit?

[21:16] Adyeths: Try that same combo with F1 [21:16] I want to request an Ubuntu CD, but since after i requested karmic i had no more permission to request a CD. I have just requested 1 CD.

[21:26] ikonia: thanks for your help! yes i see the picture with both screens. but in my opinion there is no option for what i would like to do, my state is that there are two screens used as one big and they re working. but when i maximize a window in one screen, it does not span over both. i have no clue where this should be configured using the nvidia-settings layout configuration.

[21:58] frxstrem: mount [21:58] frxstrem: mount [21:58] Droopsta915, whereis rhythmbox [21:58] this is a laptop...but i came with a geforce go 7300, drivers are already installed [21:58] Slart, CPU is running at nearly 80 C under load [21:58] ikonia: Jinx :) === PokemonTrainerTi is now known as Tortilla_Sam [21:58] rayne_: I think the new nvidia gpu ran at 100 deg C something.. and they thought that was a bit high [21:58] tgp1995 and ikonia: thanks :) [21:58] frxstrem: Np :) [21:58] I want to try xfce or kde but at the same time keep gnome. how can I do that ? can I ran any of them at the same time may be on different terminal [21:59] When 10.0 is out of beta.. will there be a easy way to upgrade from beta > stable.. ? [21:59] elfo: When you open up the system manager how much does it show in there? [21:59] h4f: just install xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop packages [21:59] hello, I have a question about using both ubuntu and ubuntu studio [21:59] Slart, that seems way to hot for a notebook.... will cause issues with all the surrounding components, like my battery that is now incapable of holding a charge for the 3rd time [21:59] LekeFly: I'm pretty sure 10.0 is the stable version? [21:59] darolu: yeap and how will I then select which desktop to start ? [21:59] rayne_: I've got a 8800gtx that's running at 56 deg C on idle.. it has a "start to slow things down to cool it off a bit" setting that starts at 110 deg C .. so perhaps 110 isn't the end of the world [22:00] tgp1994: 10.04 then :p [22:00] h4f: when you log in, at the bottom of the screen there will be a `session` box, choose one. [22:00] sry...where is that? [22:00] LekeFly: just upgrade as normal, but discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [22:00] LekeFly: I think they will usually give you an easy time with the upgrade, apt-get upgrade should help you. [22:00] Slart, 110 is the lowest though, it never drops below that after running graphics heavy apps for longer than 15 minutes [22:00] ah thanks:) [22:00] crucialhoax: will there be a choise of xfce gnome or kde ? [22:00] is it worth it to have both ubuntu and ubuntu studio running on separate partitions? I like ubuntu 9.10 but i want the low latency kernal for recording [22:00] elfo: System > Administration > System Monitor [22:00] h4f: Yes, if they are installed. [22:00] Does anyone know what the Ubuntu notification system is called or how to integrate it with python? [22:00] 2.9 GB [22:00] crucialhoax: thanks === solar_hell is now known as zerg [22:01] aj00200: The popups in the upper right hand corner? [22:01] aj00200: libnotify [22:01] thanks ChogyDan [22:01] bnelsonmiller: ask [22:01] I had a problem with the built-in remote desktop server, where it wouldn't enable UPnP, but after I reinstalled Ubuntu, it works again - any idea why? is the problem related to the router or Ubuntu? [22:01] h4f: you can select at log in screen, in the bottom (gdm) === zerg is now known as barabula [22:01] darolu: thanks [22:01] rayne_: this table http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600gt_us.html lists max GPU temperature as 105 deg C [22:01] elfo: Hmm. that is odd. total is 2.9? [22:01] So, I've been having trouble getting an originally Wii-formatted Memory stick read on my Ubuntu 9.10 box. It recognizes the Stratitec 33-in-1 memory reader, and it seems to recognize the fact that SOMETHING is plugged into it. However, it does not create a device name for it. Can anyone help with this? [22:02] what does that mean brontosaurusrex? [22:02] bnelsonmiller: Shoot :) [22:02] yes...i guess this is total....im on the separator system... [22:02] bnelsonmiller: no idea really, not an audio guy [22:02] Could someone guide me tru booting in chroot.. ? [22:03] Having some issues.. [22:03] says memory: 2,9GiB [22:03] LekeFly: Wait, you mean rebooting in matinence mode? [22:03] bnelsonmiller: Unless there is a space requirement why not keep both? === AndChat is now known as Guest12695 [22:03] tgp1994, is it worth it to get the low latency kernal on its own partition for recording? [22:04] what are my gui options for creating gnome documentation for my app ? [22:04] ok thanks crucial [22:04] elfo: Does it say `of 2.9 GB`? [22:04] bnelsonmiller: Sure, that sounds good. It can share that swap partition on your hd, too. [22:04] bnelsonmiller: Just my .2 [22:04] tgp1994: ops.. i meant via terminal.. on a Live CD [22:04] LekeFly: Ah, then chroot /mnt/(hardrive) [22:05] LekeFly: Make sure that Live CD is in root, as well. [22:05] mezquitale: thanks found it [22:05] bnelsonmiller: Or install the same kernel that studio uses on the Ubuntu partition and select it at boot time? [22:05] tgp1994: How do i do that? :) [22:05] this is portuguese, but there is no "of" says "Memory: 2,9GiB" [22:05] LekeFly: As long as you see a root in the prompt, you're golden. [22:05] fuck fuck [22:05] madona is a bitch [22:05] elfo: No idea. Sorry =/ [22:06] tgp1994: cool ill try:) [22:06] this is usual to happen on 32bits version right? [22:06] I'm just randomly wondering - and I know this may not be the best place to ask it - but is it possible to have more than one partition on a USB flash drive? [22:06] elfo: Correct. It usually reads 3.5 ish, but you are running a 64bit machine. Not the issue. [22:06] tgp1994: it just says ubuntu@ubuntu says i have to run as sudo at the top [22:07] frxstrem: yes it is possible [22:07] frxstrem: Yes [22:07] LekeFly: Ah, then sudo chroot /mnt/whadeva [22:07] LekeFly: It will probably ask for a password then. [22:07] darolu and crucialhoax: okay, thanks :) any recommendations for good partitioning software, then? or anything built into Ubuntu? [22:07] ubuntu is stealing 1gb of memory...grrrr [22:07] frxstrem: Gparted [22:07] frxstrem: GParted is user friendly. [22:07] frxstrem: Gparted. `sudo apt-get install gparted` [22:08] okay, thanks guys :) [22:08] frxstrem: Np :) [22:08] Now can anyone help me on my memory card problem? [22:08] well i want to keep the recording side clean (ie no widgets, extra running programs) so I think the having the separate partitions might be better. will this cause any problems? other than using extra space [22:08] elfo: 32bit? you need to run 64bit [22:08] How do I find out a computer is running 32-bit or 64bit ubuntu [22:08] im running 64bits [22:08] * darolu felt like a besbty geeksquad dude [22:08] Hello, I have just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. The problem is that I don't know how to search wireless connections the way I do with Windows. Could you help me? [22:08] What are some live chat options? [22:08] JuJuBee: `uname -m` in a terminal. [22:09] francesco_, there is a bar chart thing on the gnome task bar [22:09] tgp1994: chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/sda: No such file or direct i did sudo fdisk -l first [22:09] crucialhoax: thanks, didn't know the -m option, only -r [22:09] francesco_: if you see a few bars (a wireless icon) in the upper right corner, click it and select your network there [22:09] francesco_, try `iwlist scan` maybe [22:09] LekeFly: Have you mounted the hard drive you are trying to chroot into? [22:09] JuJuBee: No problem `uname --help` to see all of them. [22:09] crucialhoax: tks for the help anyway :) [22:09] tgp1994: No.. :P [22:09] LekeFly: did you mount the hard drive? proc? binded devs? [22:09] Doesn't tell me anything. [22:10] francesco_: If you're in GNOME, at the top right of your screen should be a network-looking ish icon :) [22:10] elfo: No problem. Hopefully it gets sorted out =] [22:10] LekeFly: Alrighty then, mkdir /mnt/sda, then mount /dev/sda [22:10] LekeFly: And then chroot, of course. [22:10] There is an icon with wired network (disconnected) written on that. [22:10] francesco_: if the icon isn't there, you should make sure that you have compatible drivers for your wireless network device - if not, you may try to find if there is a Linux driver available, or try something like ndiswrapper [22:10] LekeFly: Correction there, you'll want to do mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda instead. [22:11] tgp1994: really? mkdir? doesnt that create a directory? im tr [22:11] ah hehe [22:11] Sec:) [22:11] LekeFly: Ok. [22:11] frxstrem: The problem should be "no drivers"? [22:12] tgp1994: sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda does not exist.. :/ [22:12] francesco_: In a terminal type `lshw -C Network` look for the wireless device and see if a driver is in use. Or use paste.ubuntu.com [22:12] LekeFly: You did try mkdir /mnt/sda, right? [22:12] hello, installing texlive screwed my packages. Doing an install -f results in http://pastebin.com/V4N6kJYv [22:12] nope did do that :P [22:12] LekeFly: you need a number in there, sda1, sda2.. we mount file systems not devices and /dev/sda is a device [22:12] LekeFly: What does ls /mnt give you/ [22:13] ardchoille: Whoops lol :P Been awhile since I've mounted in terminal [22:13] Why does floodbot keep changing the mode >.> === bogdan_ is now known as trexyz [22:14] ardchoille & tgp1994: what does boot * mean on fdisk -l ? [22:14] ardchoille, not necessarily, you can mount raw images as a file system, and raw disks as a filesystem without partitions [22:14] crucialhoax: What device should I look for? [22:14] hello how can i configure squirrelmail form ehcp [22:14] to receive emails? [22:14] ardchoille & tgp1994: in the column [22:14] francesco_: the wireless device [22:14] LekeFly: Is that exactly what it says? Boot *? [22:14] crucualhoax: im thinking about 1 thing...before i installed the graphics driver, how could i have image....probably i have onboard graphics too...is possible that i lost the ram before i have the dedicated graphocs installed? [22:14] crucialhoax: It's in the laptop. [22:15] francesco_: Did you run that command? [22:15] LekeFly: Oh, just looked at fdisk my self, when there is a * in that column, that means that partition is bootable. [22:15] how can i configure squirrelmail from ehcp to receive emails [22:15] ? [22:15] tgp1994: ah okey.. [22:15] LekeFly: Which is probably the one you're looking for. [22:15] i just ran am update to bring beta 1 up to beta 2 and now i have ot boot with the old kernal the new one will not boot [22:15] tgp1994: i really dont know what i should write now.. :P [22:15] crucialhoax: I did. [22:15] can somebody help me? [22:16] LekeFly: Ok, so what was the exact name of that partition? [22:16] tgp1994: /dev/sda2 [22:16] andrew__: Support and discussion for 10.04 in #ubuntu+1 [22:16] But its got 0 blocks tho [22:16] LekeFly: Ok, then sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda [22:16] francesco_: One of those lines should say `description: wireless interface` [22:16] LekeFly: I bet when you do it in sudo it will work. [22:17] ardchoille: what do you mean?? [22:17] is that a known bug [22:17] LekeFly: Actually, since this is on a live cd and so we don't get confused, just su root right now.

I'm not really a very big kernel expert, so I would rather ask the pro's. I have a box that's presently in production, and I/we had to manually roll in the NIC driver/module. If/when I dist-upgrade the kernel, would I have to manually re-roll the driver into the new kernel, or will it get ported in the upgrade?

[23:01] kern00b: then install the new kernel and dont reboot. check if the module is there for it - if not, build the module against the new kernel and install it, then reboot and pray [23:01] kern00b: or better, do this on a non-production box and test it, then deploy it production and reboot [23:01] Hello all, I am trying to add the Ubuntu Mailing Lists to my Newsreader (Mozilla ThunderbirD)..could someone tell me what the URL of the Ubuntu's news server is?

Google Gadgets [23:52] bkocev: you don't do that, you already added the ppa yourself [23:52] Random832: ahh gotcha [23:52] really if i were implementing a new filesystem [23:53] hye [23:53] i'd keep all the atimes in one block at the beginning of the disk, and try to keep that in the cache (and not write through) at all costs [23:53] ravigehlot: sure it does, it's in Universe [23:53] jrib: no errors now [23:53] hey [23:53] !info google-gedgets [23:53] Package google-gedgets does not exist in karmic [23:53] !info google-gadgets [23:53] bkocev: run that apt-cache policy command again [23:53] Package google-gadgets does not exist in karmic [23:53] h00k: oh really, let me check [23:53] !info google-gadgets-gtk [23:53] google-gadgets-gtk (source: google-gadgets): GTK+ Version of Google Gadgets. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.10.5-0.2ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 145 kB, installed size 500 kB [23:54] ravigehlot: http://packages.ubunut.com/ko/source/karmic/google-gadgets [23:54] jrib: just that after every sudo update the update manager runs and tells not updates completed run partial update [23:54] Is there any official Ubuntu version like the netinst image available for Debian? In other words a very minimal installer, without all the crap the 700mb ubuntu CDs come with? [23:54] h00k: you can pm ubottu rather thanspaming channel [23:54] Hi i need sound help :P PA isn't allowing me to record anything :( How to i change the mic to Alsa or OSS? [23:54] vikestad: yes [23:54] What is OSS? [23:54] h00k: is there a difference between ppa.launchpad.net and this URL you sent me? [23:54] !mini | vikestad [23:54] vikestad: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:54] ravigehlot: yes [23:54] umm I did ps and only got bash and ps when more is running. I want the list of all processes so I can kill one of them. [23:55] histo: tell me [23:55] ravigehlot: ppa is a private repository he sent you the link for the ubuntu repository I believe [23:55] histo: thx [23:55] histo: yeah, I was sure I had it on the first shot, whoops. [23:55] ravigehlot: but there was a typo on it. [23:55] histo: private repo as in what? [23:55] ravigehlot: as in I can create one and put whatever I want in there. [23:55] bkocev: yes, we haven't actually tried to fix anything yet [23:55] histo: okay [23:56] jrib: http://pastebin.com/7ebN6GJB [23:56] ravigehlot: the first part of the link he gave you should be ubuntu not ubunut [23:56] QS: Where?en you run Kega Fusion, all other programs produce no sound. What is going on h [23:56] here [23:57] histo: k [23:57] ravigehlot: check for google-gadgets in synaptic [23:57] Can someone please help me, I'm getting worried. I'm running Karmic Koala and my speakers won't work at all, even after three reboots. [23:57] anyone have a idea why out of the blue my flash plug-in causes firefox to crash [23:57] *-16-generic will ONLY match things that END with -16-generic, right? [23:57] brax: you're sure it's not muted? [23:57] bkocev: sorry, I meant: apt-cache policy texlive-base-bin [23:57] od3n: Are you using Firefox 3.6? [23:57] I think so [23:57] what happens if you go into sound settings and do the sound test? [23:58] I don't know how it would be muted, Random832. [23:58] bad mixer settings? [23:58] not sure cause I am not in front of it [23:58] I'll run alsamixer and see, but I think they look fine. [23:58] od3n: Then how are we supposed to help [23:58] brax: in terminal, type alsamixer -c0, raise and unmute the proper levels, and then press escape to exit, then type alsactl store [23:58] jrib: no problem at all http://pastebin.com/qbmt0Awu [23:59] well I might need just a clue to fix it [23:59] bkocev: how about: apt-cache policy texlive-lang-polish ? [23:59] ha [23:59] there is no way to connect to the internet with the sagem f@st modem?? [23:59] Should I unmute PC Beep? [23:59] n [23:59] no [23:59] or I can wait 2 hours till I get home [23:59] jrib: http://pastebin.com/uiYTvjin
