You can disable it by going to System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Other Software (or Third/Part Software), looking in the list, and unchecking the checkbox next to it. [01:06] Third-Party ** [01:06] i installed lxde but later i uninstall all lxde ,why when i type aptitude install -f it install again lxde? [01:07] Im using, "find [long_dir_name] -type f -name "*.mod" > [playlist file]" to setup a playlist for a shoutcast station. Is there anyway to make it so instead of just searching for .mod files, it can search for multiple filetypes? [01:07] hi i'm on 10.04beta2 live on a usb stick, i've just resized my LVM drive to make space for a new installation, unfortunatly, it seems the ubuntu installation doesn't see the LVM space, how is so ? [01:08] Procule: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here [01:08] ok [01:09] rww, which 1 do I uncheck? [01:09] ppa-name? [01:09] StephenWins: yes [01:09] hello? [01:09] http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu [01:09] that? [01:09] yes [01:10] i need help with something [01:10] woahh...big channel [01:10] idk how to change that [01:10] can someone help me [01:10] how do i use proprietary drivers for my graphics cards? its open source right now [01:10] hello? [01:11] can someone help me [01:11] Is there any way to download the ubuntu 4.10 release? [01:11] please [01:11] rwwL thanks rww, thanks a lot :-) [01:11] test [01:11] cbr1993, how can we know if we can help if you don't ask anything? [01:11] sorry [01:11] !ask | cbr1993 [01:11] cbr1993: 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. :-) [01:11] cbr1993: Yes. Go ahead and ask your question to the channel, all on one line, and someone will answer if they can. [01:11] StephenWins: no problem, glad I could help :) [01:11] ubottu: ati | futurama140 [01:11] futurama140: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:11] i need to know how to install pciutils-2.2.0 [01:11] futurama140: if you're using something other than those three, let me know :) [01:12] Marrte: 4.10 as in the one that came out in October 2004? [01:12] Yes [01:13] Marrte: hrm. There's supposed to be an ISO at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ , but I don't see it there. [01:13] Can anyone recommend a good video editor (?free?). Also, although not currently needed, it would be nice if it could make a video like this: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/5years/en-US/ [01:13] cbr1993, do you really need such an old version? [01:14] aj00200: Have you tried PiTiVi/ [01:14] Marrte, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [01:14] I didn't find it either =/ [01:14] Marrte, top of the page [01:14] crucialhoax: I'll look at it. Thanks :D [01:14] no i dont. it can be any version. [01:14] mrwes: that link errors out [01:14] The link is brokwn [01:14] aj00200: No prob [01:14] so, anybody around here familiar with Nvidia Optimus laptops under Ubuntu? I recognize that switching is probably a ways off....but are we to a point yet that I can force ubuntu to use the discrete graphics all the time? [01:14] Stupid question: How do I access the UbuntuOne Music Store [01:15] Queue29- it can be any version [01:15] cbr1993, can you just do a: sudo apt-get install pciutils ? [01:15] anyone who's upgraded horde - the webmail app? [01:16] Marrte: That's where I got it when I was looking for it in the past. I'll try and ping the relevant people, but it might take a few days for me to get a response [01:16] it says to use "make" to install it and i dont know how to do that. im vary new at this [01:16] ubottu: pm | futurama140 [01:16] futurama140: 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. [01:16] rww: Okay, I'll be here ;) [01:17] is someone running kubuntu in a win7 virtualbox pls ? :) [01:17] cbr1993, you would only use make if you are building from source, which you don't have to if you just get it from apt-get [01:17] cbr1993, unless you really do need an old version, in which case you would have to build from source === Trek is now known as CaptainTrek [01:18] what is apt-get? [01:18] it's the package manager [01:18] cbr1993, apt-get is used to install packages. [01:18] and i dont need the old version i dont think [01:18] (the underlying technology behind synaptic etc) [01:18] #brasil [01:18] cbr1993, don't mess with it because some system tools need it [01:18] rww: someone else told me that i was using open source drivers, but according to the hardware drivers gui im using the proprietary. I'm trying to set up multiple monitors, could you help me? my xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/Mp94wzHk [01:19] cbr1993, Synaptic Package Manager just implements that tool is all [01:19] so... yeah, its useful [01:19] where do i get that? [01:19] Anyone have problems tar'ing large ( 500G or larger ) files over over NFS? [01:19] 500G??? [01:20] futurama140: I don't have experience with ATI/fglrx (which it appears you're using). If the page ubottu linked you to doesn't help, someone else in the channel might be able to. [01:20] Yeah. 500 Gigabytes. :) [01:20] I'm trying to set up multiple monitors, but im getting an error "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".". My xorg.conf is: http://pastebin.com/Mp94wzHk can anyone give me a hand with it? [01:21] crazy [01:21] where can i get a apt-get of pciutils [01:21] hej, guys, good time of day! got a question. does standard compiling instructions like "make", "configure" compile a code for processor, or i have to add a manual option? [01:21] I also have NFS hang when it try to backup my laptop hard drive ( dd if=/dev/sda of=/nfs/mount/backup.img ). [01:22] cbr1993: There's a pciutils package in all current versions of Ubuntu... "sudo apt-get install pciutils" or use your favourite package manager. === yofel_ is now known as yofel === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [01:23] so just type that in terminal? [01:23] yes... [01:23] cbr1993: if you need it as a prerequisite for compiling something, you probably want pciutils-dev as well [01:23] I'm trying to set up multiple monitors, but im getting an error "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".". My xorg.conf is: http://pastebin.com/Mp94wzHk can anyone give me a hand with it? [01:23] I used to mount guest directories as read-only using ro,bind. I'd have multiple per device if necessary. I've upgraded recently and now trying to do the same thing no longer works as expected. I get a warning about the mount being read-write and indeed it is. Any suggestions? [01:24] i need it for windows wireless drivers because i got an error that said it cant tell if the hardware is there [01:25] What would cause block after block of sudo usage syntax to reproduce itself in the sources.list file every time you refresh the repositories? [01:25] Can one install via apt using a file containing packages? Without just doing a apt-get install `cat files.txt` ? [01:25] any sysadmins here who've had to upgrade the horde framework for webmail? [01:26] distatica - you can, to get started, you need a file with install - try running hte command dpkg --get-selections and you will get a list of th right format [01:26] distatica then you can use dpkg --set-selections < input-file-with-packagenames [01:27] windows wireless drivers says "unable to see if hardware is present". how do i fix this [01:28] calaen0: thank you [01:28] distatica, you bet, now if someone with experience pgrading horde would talk to me :) [01:28] windows wireless drivers says "unable to see if hardware is present". how do i fix this? [01:29] cbr1993 i dont know but that question makes no sense without more background info like what you are trying to do, what you did and so forth [01:30] bobertdos - you're probably facing a sources.list that has a typo? [01:30] i am trying to get a windows wireless driver to work. its a toshiba satellite a505d-s6968. [01:31] cbr1993: with ndiswrapper¿ [01:31] yup [01:31] IdleOne, maco Congrats to you both on becoming operators :) [01:31] can I get a list of installed packages and then pipe (or such) them to something to install all of them on a diff system? [01:31] cbr1993, what card is it? [01:31] i dont know. how do i check? [01:31] acovrig yes dpkg --get-selections > output-file [01:31] ubottu: tell acovrig about clone [01:31] acovrig, please see my private message [01:31] calaen0:except it's more than that, when I use gksudo to open it up in gedit, delete all the "sudo" lines, save it, close it, and run apt-get update, the sudo lines reproduce themselves. [01:32] lo [01:32] cbr1993: make sure to use the 'XP' driver [01:32] i do. [01:32] cbr1993, lshw or lscpi -vv | grep network (or grep something that might be there in a wireless adapter) [01:32] cbr1993, or just use lspci -vv and read through it.... [01:32] its a laptop [01:33] bobertdos, whats eh command you're typing again? [01:33] bobertdos - type it here, exactly as you tried it on your machine [01:33] thanks [01:33] can I get a cord for my vaio laptop that will allow me to connect to S video on a projector for a power point ? [01:34] I need to run 3 monitors on my system, 2 integrated work, the one on the PCIE will not extend or even show my desktop! my xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/UtuSSxpm I've been googling for a week and i see no one else with my same issue, and ive gotten no help here the past 2 days. is there no one competent enough to know what im doing wrong? [01:34] calaen0: sudo apt-get update, just to refresh the repos. I'm not actually saying this for myself, but for a guy I'm helping on a forum. [01:35] bobertdos - that command is fine - but that's not the whole story - it wont ever put lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, so i dont see what's happening [01:35] futurama140: you need to set in BIOS to use the PCIE card, you cant use both onboard and PCIE cards at the same time in some BIOS configs [01:35] wx9j, yesh, search on google for how ppl use the s-video out with ubuntu and/or linux [01:35] i still dont know what to do [01:35] cbr1993 - so how do you know that you have to use the windows driver? [01:36] futurama140, its possible that it might not work because not all BIOS on every motherboard support using the onboard and PCI/PCIe cards [01:36] how can I set it up so that I can use CTRL-click instead of the 2nd mouse button? [01:36] futurama140, at least not at the same time... [01:36] futurama, what does xrandr -q tell you? [01:36] because i looked at the hardware drivers and it didnt have a driver for my laptop for wifi. and it didnt work right away ether [01:37] freezing under ubuntu and xp....memory tests ok.....could this be caused by hard drive problems??? [01:37] cbr1993 that's not a good way of going about it - find your wireless card, by using lspci -vv | less , then look online to see what driver supports that card and so on. [01:37] CaptainTrek: i did set it to PCIE, my motherboard says it supports crossfire which is using both the integrated and add-in together as a single card, so i would assume it could use both seperately? if you want i can take a picture of my bios and you could give me an opinion of whether it looks like bios support is a problem [01:37] calaen0: nether do I, hence the problem. When I look at his sources.list though, it's a total mess. It looks like he went from a very messy install of Intrepid to a very messy install of Karmic, so he might just be better off with a fresh install [01:37] dante123 or usually temperature issues [01:38] happens most often when system is first turned on from cold.... [01:38] futurama140: and you confirmed that the PCIe card is crossfire capable? [01:38] bobertdos, dunno man... [01:38] lots of fans.....no bad capacitors (from what I can see) [01:38] dante123, temp - did you assemble the system, or get it assembled and did you or the assembler forget the paste for the processor? [01:39] dante123, also try reducing the cpufrew to 1/2 in the bios and see if that fixes it for a day or two - that way you might know its the temp issue, or not. [01:39] I assembled and did not forget the paste [01:39] dante123: you could try monitoring your temperature to see if it's running hot [01:39] (if you can get a temperature applet to install) [01:39] when i put what you told me in the termanal it showed a bunch of stuff. i dont know what it means [01:39] CaptainTrek: the pcie is not crossfire, its too old, but i do know the two devices work fine seperately. in fact, the 3rd monitor im trying to run has a small cursor like in a terminal at the upper left. [01:40] so all 3 are turned on [01:40] anybody able to help with an issue i'm having mounting drives? [01:40] will try the temp stuff. But like I said....often happens when the computer first turned on (hence it is usually cold which makes me think not a temp issue) [01:40] blacksunseven, just ask [01:40] whats a tight video editing software? [01:40] futurama140: the pcie card needs to be crossfire capable to work with crossfire at the same time for it to be 100% effective. in other news, have you tested to see if the system will run solely off of the PCIe card? [01:40] dante123, anything in the syslog, dmesg etc? [01:40] I used to mount guest directories as read-only using ro,bind. I'd have multiple per device if necessary. I've upgraded recently and now trying to do the same thing no longer works as expected. I get a warning about the mount being read-write and indeed it is. Any suggestions? [01:41] stopsign are you saying what do we recommend for video editing? [01:41] dante123, also re-seat pci card, memory etc [01:41] futurama140, as in temporarily turn off the onboard card and see if ti will broadcast to the one card [01:41] yes [01:41] reseated memory.....cpu is next I guess with new paste [01:41] stopsign, I like Openshot video editor [01:41] with ubuntu live-cd, can I boot off the CD then mofidy the system files or it's all read-only and no other way around? [01:41] right on ty [01:42] for example, the /etc/fstab file [01:42] what is the freespace command, I keep forgetting :-| [01:42] stopsign for a relatively new program, it is pretty good.......also pitivi is another...but I havent really tried it [01:42] CaptainTrek: yes the system can run solely off the pcie card, ive tested it. and crossfire isnt my problem, it was just an example, cause i know i can get all 3 monitors to work in windoze, i found this link, it worked for some people but im not getting alot from it, maybe you could take a look? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53966 [01:42] so where is my wireless card info when i put in lspci -vv | less in termanal? [01:42] im trying to edit some quake3 demos [01:42] blacksunseven, mount -o remount,ro - what does that give you? [01:43] i think openshot is the way to go.....are you familiar with windows moviemaker? [01:43] i will convert to avi [01:43] futurama140: ati or nvidia? [01:43] yes [01:43] openshot kind of looks like that but without the freezing (at least I haven't had too many issues) [01:43] cu - the files on the livecd are usually read only - is that the question? [01:43] i will try [01:44] stopsign http://www.openshotvideo.com/ [01:44] thanks man [01:44] futurama140, what does xrandr -q tell you bud? [01:44] no worries. good luck [01:45] where is my wireless card info when i put "lspci -vv | less" in termanal? [01:45] futurama140 take it a step at a time - see if the card is recongnized, then use xrandr to drive output to it, if it all works, put it in xorg.cong [01:45] cbr1993, you have to read it to find out. [01:45] sample coming up [01:45] 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) [01:45] how to install joone [01:45] cbr1993 ^^ that was mine.... [01:46] so cbr1993 do a lspci -vv | grep Network [01:46] calaen0: not mounted already, or bad option [01:46] no neural network [01:46] blacksunseven i thought you said it was mount rw? [01:46] mounted, I mean [01:46] calaen0: the device is mounted rw to a different mount point (that i want to be rw) [01:47] what does that mean? [01:47] cbr1993 that means, type the following command and press enter [01:47] lspci -vv | grep Network [01:48] that will search for the string "Network" in the output of lspci -vv [01:48] blacksunseven, was just trying to see if we get a message that says why it can't be mounted ro. [01:48] it said "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8192 (rev 01)" without quotes [01:49] anyone has installed calibre and can do me a conversion favor? [01:49] calaen0: this is what i get trying to mount it:: mount: warning: /home/dir1 seems to be mounted read-write. [01:49] cbr1993, did you turn on the physical switch for the wireless card? cause the system doesnt seem to be seeing one [01:49] blacksunseven, alright, so unmount it and mount it ro? [01:49] yes [01:50] well, cbr1993 if that really is all you got as the output the laptop's wireless card is really not being seen by the laptop. [01:50] CaptainTrek: ATI [01:51] anyways, funtime's up, see you all later! [01:51] oh. what do i do to fix this? [01:51] calaen0: if i unmount it from both locations and mount it ro, then the other location wont be rw [01:52] calaen0: http://pastebin.com/YdvLKqbt [01:53] futurama140 right on, so only two monitors are seen by xrandr - you have two to play with.... [01:53] futurama140, you could backup your xorg.conf if you ave edited it, use the default, and see if that changes anything. [01:54] my laptop cant see my wireless card. what do i do? ive tryed installing hardware drivers and using windows wireless drivers [01:54] I've asked this before but does anyone in here have experience running Ubuntu (or any Linux) on Macs? I've heard a weird rumor that doing so will cause CPU damage. [01:55] shadewind: they lied to you [01:55] shadewind: xangua's 100% right [01:56] I thought so [01:56] http://th-th.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=58812459188&topic=16464 [01:56] that's the article anyway [01:56] my laptop cant see my wireless card. what do i do? ive tryed installing hardware drivers and using windows wireless drivers [01:56] essentially, what he is saying is that Linux lacks proper SMC drivers which will cause the CPU to be overvolted [01:57] but it seems strange for Apple to have a design to do something like that [01:57] Hi! I can't see mounted network shares (via ssh) while e.g. browsing for a file to upload, or a place to save my download, while in Firefox. Why?

[02:11] I am looking at interface for cups http://localhost:613 and Samba, plus Samba4 is both installed [02:12] http://pastebin.com/LJz7niCX <- its kind of big. [02:13] I don't get it, it's supposed to be all automated, isn't it? [02:13] calaen0: you have lm-sensors installed? [02:13] Why am I gettting an OS not found error? [02:13] shadewind yeah [02:13] what does it mean when ndiswrapper says "unable to see if hardware is present"? i read onlne that it means i need to install pciutils but i already did and it still is doing it [02:13] After all, I'm using the Live CD [02:13] Hi! I can't see mounted network shares (via ssh) while e.g. browsing for a file to upload, or a place to save my download, while in Firefox. How can I fix this? [02:13] calaen0: run "sensors" in a terminal and see if you see something :) [02:13] !repeat | cbr1993 [02:13] cbr1993: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:14] shadewind that gives you temps, not voltages [02:14] daftykins: Any idea? [02:14] Is it not finding the boot loader or what? [02:15] There's no other OS on the system [02:15] haavaros you probably cant - open the url in nautilus or something.... [02:15] WinXP SP3 was on there, but I formatted it [02:15] calaen0: you sure there's no Vcore in the readings? [02:15] Tendency: i honestly don't advise wubi personally, it's a bit of a nightmare to support. are you just wanting to give Ubuntu a bit of a test? [02:15] no, never was [02:15] NarKoticZ: you are using a LiveCD to do a wubi install? [02:15] No, I'm trying to boot from the CD [02:16] and install that way [02:16] temp1: +48.0°C and so on, shadewind [02:16] daftykins: Nah, I've been a user of Ubuntu for a long time but I need to keep windows as well, I don't want to take the risk of partitioning so I thought that Wubi would be a great alternative, at least until I can get another harddrive for Ubuntu only. [02:16] And it appears successful, but when I reboot, it says OS not found [02:16] anyways, gotta run now [02:16] NarKoticZ: did you change your bois settings to boot from CD first? [02:16] Yeah, I got the CD to boot [02:16] Tendency: ah i see, which version of windows do you have on rightn ow? [02:16] NarKoticZ: ok, grub was installed? [02:16] I'm actually trying to install from the CD though, not just run the Live CD [02:16] Daftykins: WindowsXP SP3 [02:16] I have no idea lol [02:16] How do I install GRUB? [02:16] calaen0: well 48C seems like a nice temperature [02:16] !grub2 [02:16] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:17] NarKoticZ: it should of been done when you installed but maybe something went wrong [02:17] shadewind, running at 800 mhz now - using the powersave governor === sam_ is now known as Guest72310 [02:17] anyways, bye. [02:17] gracias [02:17] Any idea as to what I should do daftykins? [02:18] calaen0: what model are you using? [02:18] Tendency: ah, i see. the log complains about not being able to find the temp files where it looks for them; is there any kind of copy to PC stage that seems to complete before it should? [02:18] guys im using xfce and to add a new workspace, it says to press control and ins but im on a mac keyboard so i dont have insert? > SO how can i add a new WORKSPACE? i only have 2.. [02:18] Umm, not sure I will run it again a sec. [02:18] Interesting, it's supposed to be installed automatically with 9.10. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. [02:19] Guest72310: Try changing the key combination? [02:19] i have no idea how to do that.. im newb :D [02:19] NarKoticZ: ok when you boot up do you see Grub boot loader at all? [02:19] what hard drive path should I install to? [02:19] IdleOne: No [02:20] NarKoticZ: the grub2 factoid ubottu gave up there should have the info [02:21] Tendency: is your XP 32 or 64-bit? [02:21] daftykins: 32bit [02:21] and your ubuntu CD? [02:21] 32bit [02:21] Yeah, when I boot, it just says "Intel Boot Loader," "PXE, etc," "Operating System Not Found" [02:22] Tendency: weird, i see in your paste the line "04-16 19:48 DEBUG WindowsBackend: arch=amd64" [02:22] how do i run itunes on ubuntu. wine isnt working [02:22] daftykins: The CD extracts the data in the correct amount of time, but after that it just shoots along and shoots an error at me [02:22] daftykins Eh what?... I'm not 64 bit.. How do I double check on Windows? [02:23] cbr1993, wine or virtualbox are the only two options [02:23] Tendency: windows key + pause/break, or start -> right click my computer, properties [02:23] I have an iMac booted into Karmic via a live CD, is the any way i can establish permissions to read it's harddrive if i know teh orignial Mac OS's credentials? [02:23] Umm... Wth, it says 64bit processor but this computer came with 32bit windows installed, and everything else is 32bit... [02:23] Do oyu think a recovery of Grub2 from the LiveCD will do the trick? [02:24] pardon spelling errors, this spare keyboard sucks [02:24] hi [02:24] Tendency: that may just be saying it's an AMD Athlon 64 processor you have, can you upload a screenshot to a image hosting site? [02:24] does it have to do with me having a 64 bit system? [02:24] cbr1993, no [02:24] Hi, any suggestion as to why partimage seems to freeze at the 'please wait' text, put ~10Mb in the first backup part file but no more? [02:24] Uploading [02:25] http://i40.tinypic.com/33eskjr.png [02:25] How do I get my webcam to work in ubuntu? It is installed in my laptop. [02:25] Tendency: ah ok it doesn't give info there, hmmz [02:26] Actually, if I was 64bit it would show all my ram (I got 4GB) 32bit only shows 3GB [02:26] radar3d: tryin to make it work with Flash? [02:26] Tendency: ja, ok. looking at the log more it seems to have more errors, but they're not very descriptive ;/ [02:26] daftykins :( [02:27] Tendency: check out line 1531, "IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument" [02:27] I don't think so trying to use it with anything right now i have installed cheese and it says no camera, but specifically i want to use it with teamviewer CaptainTrek [02:27] NarKoticZ: worth a shot [02:27] daftykins: What does that mean? [02:27] *sigh* I didn't think Ubuntu would be this difficult to install [02:27] radar3d: okay. do me a favor: pastebin me the output of the commands (in terminal) of: lspci and lsusb [02:28] NarKoticZ: normally isn't [02:28] radar3d, type the command: lspci; lsusb [02:28] Tendency: are you familiar with applications to create a .ISO image from the ubuntu CD? [02:29] Umm, from inside the LiveCD? Not.. really, want me to switch to the live CD then pop back here? [02:29] NarKoticZ: can you please explain your difficulty? sorry, i just got here [02:29] Tendency: nah you stay in windows, grab imgburn from imgburn.com and use it to create a .ISO from the CD [02:30] Sure [02:30] CaptainTrek: ok I put it on pastebin but do not know where to see the link [02:31] http://pastebin.com/KBLJJQEp [02:31] I downloaded the 32-bit version of Ubuntu from their website (ubuntu.com), burned it, and attempted to install Ubuntu, but when I try to boot, it loads the Intel Boot Loader and says "Operating System Not Installed" [02:32] radar3d: the issue is that your system isn't even recognizing that the camera is there [02:32] NarKoticZ: what do you mean by intel bootloader? PXE boot? [02:32] daftykins: Creating an ISO. [02:32] radar3d: it would have been listed under one of those commands [02:32] Yes, PXE [02:32] NarKoticZ: that means your BIOS boot order is trying to boot on the network, go into your BIOS and change the boot order so it's CD first, then HDD second [02:32] NarKoticZ: change boot order in BIOS [02:32] ty daftykins [02:33] no problem :) [02:33] You have to have the CD in in order to boot Ubuntu? [02:33] no, only for installing [02:33] no NarKoticZ ,,,, [02:33] daftykins: I think hes installed it already? He just can't boot into it afterwards? [02:33] NarKoticZ: are you saying you went thru the installation? [02:33] CaptainTrek: ok so now what it lookslike it is there in the devicemanager [02:33] Tendency: indeed, but having an incorrectly configured BIOS is a waste of time (: [02:34] xD [02:34] radar3d: in windows? [02:34] NarKoticZ: did you install grub to the first boot sector [02:34] I don't know what the first boot sector is [02:34] CaptainTrek: no ubuntu [02:34] Bu I did install Ubuntu from the D [02:34] radar3d: interesting [02:34] CD* [02:34] daftykins: Made an image, what next? [02:34] Tendency: are you familiar with daemon tools? get that next, the 'lite' version; it creates a virtual 'fake' CD/DVD/BD drive and lets you mount ISOs as if to a real optical drive. bear in mind the installer may want to restart, so don't let it do so too early :) [02:35] radar3d: it might just be a weird bug, I know that the webcam on my system isn't recognized in ubuntu even though the system says its there [02:35] is this a "Dual-Boot" with windows NarKoticZ ? [02:35] radar3d: not sure what to do then [02:35] with ubuntu live-cd, can I boot off the CD then mofidy the system files or it's all read-only and no other way around? [02:36] CaptainTrek: http://s812.photobucket.com/albums/zz48/radar3d/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-1.png [02:36] cu: system files of an ubuntu install, or windows install, or? [02:36] lots of ppl from tx here today... [02:36] cu: i've had no problem modifying stuff (Even installing software) on the livecd, but it won't stick once you shut down / reboot [02:37] daftykins: Got it :) [02:37] Random832: ohh, so I can modify them, but they just go back to the original after the reboot [02:37] daftykins: Wont let me run it unless I reboot... [02:37] right [02:37] Tendency: yep it installs the driver first, you reboot then installation finishes [02:37] i mean makes sense when you tihnk about it - there's nowhere permanent for the changes to live [02:37] that's better actually, because CentOS live-cd wont' even let me modify them [02:37] radar3d: interesting that the command line cant see the camera, considering everything GUI is just a front-end for terminal commands :P [02:37] daftykins: Should I reboot now/ [02:37] usually at least [02:37] I did have WinXP SP3, Elrox, but I chose to overwrite it with Ubuntu [02:38] i mean when i booted to the livecd to install yesterday [02:38] i did apt-get install irssi to irc while i installed [02:38] radar3d: i'm not sure exactly how to fix it unfortunately [02:38] Tendency: yep install the program, use the system tray utility to mount the ISO you created with imgburn, then come back here :) [02:38] ok thanks for playing the webcam game LOL [02:38] NarKoticZ: did you change any default install settings for the grub boot-loader during the install? === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [02:38] Random832: so, is there a way to create custom live-cd for ubuntu with the files that I know I'll modify every time I boot up? [02:39] Not that i know of.. [02:39] Marrte: Hello again! It turns out that those releases being missing is a known problem, and it should be fixed within the next few days. [02:39] Random832: say, /etc/fstab with some mount points and the network files [02:39] cu: i'd recommend using the USB startup disk creator and making a flash drive become a persistent install [02:39] Marrte: when it is, you'll be able to download any older release from that site I linked. === DarkwingDuck_ is now known as DarkwingDuck [02:40] I am working on a kernel module which crashes when I try to load it due to some bug. Unfortunately plymouth on this lucide machine seems to be impossible to uninstall without also having forced uninstallation of mountall which seems dangerous. How can I cripple plymouth and just have a traditional pure ASCII VT with no framebuffer? Right now it prevents seeing the crash dump, etc. [02:40] I'm baffled here. I can't chown a folder even with sudo ... I get Operation not permitted, even with sudo. Wtf? What do I do? [02:40] mhall: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [02:40] NarKoticZ: did you get to a live desktop session and then double-click the "installer" icon? [02:40] daftykins: it'll be for about 10 laptops for training purposes, so it's best to just hand them a cd and pop in and boot up [02:41] Nah, I tried to install directly from the CD [02:41] Actually, I'm at the same point right now [02:41] mhall: I happen to actually know the answer to this one, though: remove "splash" from your kernel line, either from GRUB itself or by editing /etc/default/grub to remove it, then doing sudo update-grub [02:41] calaen0: by the way, thanks for the help [02:41] Should I just select "Install Ubuntu"? [02:41] calaen0: and sorry for all the weird questions :P [02:41] cu: in that case making your own custom CD would be a lot of work to go to, i'd recommend using livecd's then perhaps flash drive pasting a script which you can run? [02:41] rww: I was hoping it could be done in /etc/default/grub to prevent the problem of it always being overwritten whenever update-grub is rerun [02:41] mhall: ("nosplash" doesn't work, it's a known bug, you should just remove all splash keywords completely) [02:41] cu: make a usb image and then duplicate it onto like 10 usb sticks [02:41] NarKoticZ: i would suggest trying from the live session.... may give more info [02:42] rww: Is there some way the change can be made to stick? Otherwise each make-kpkg deb series I install will rebreak it [02:42] mhall: It is doable in /etc/default/grub. Like I said, edit that file to remove the splash keyword. I think it's on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line. [02:42] Random832: and ubuntu can boot off that usb stick? [02:43] cu, yes, i boot 9.10 from my Portable HDD all the time [02:43] i don't know, it was daftykins's idea [02:43] i have an intel iMac booted into Karmic 9.10 on a Live CD, is there any way to get permission to access the iMac's internal HDD files, even if i know the Mac OS user's credentials? [02:43] but as long as you have a bunch of usb sticks the same size there's no reason you couldn't do it once and duplicate it onto the others [02:43] rww: (I did try discussion thread, but search turned up hundreds of entries, first few pages irrelevant). I am searching in default with my editor before, and redid according to your advice, 'splash' appears nowhere, yet update-grub still leaves it in for the kernels. [02:43] (just don't plug two in to the same machine, since they will have the same serial number) [02:44] Leighton: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1076577 [02:44] mhall: copy your /etc/default/grub file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, link the page it creates here [02:44] rww: ok [02:45] is the vbox in the repos as good as the one from the site? [02:45] Leighton: as far as acces permision is concerned, if you've already got the disk mounted - just create a user with the same uid and su to it [02:45] I installed eclipse using apt-get, but it doesn't seem to include any of the "Install New Software" sites?? Did I do something wrong? [02:46] How do I change the owner of a folder where a filesystem is mounted? sudo chown doesn't work [02:46] I just installed swat and then went to localhost:901 ... nothing .. what am I doing wrong [02:46] haavaros: what kind of filesystem is it? [02:46] rww: (BTW huge thanks for the help, other non-IRC attempts were worse than useless) http://paste.ubuntu.com/415885/ [02:46] Can Ubuntu be installed after Windows XP without damaging XP data? [02:47] rww: fighting with plymouth is not a fun thing to do on a Friday afternoon when trying to get your module which runs in 64 bit to run right in 32! :) [02:47] cu: yes.. that's actually the preferred method [02:47] daftykins: I've mounted it. [02:47] cu: you need to install XP with free space at the end of the drive ideally [02:47] Random832: FAT32 [02:47] Tendency: ok, try running the installer via that method instead? [02:48] haavaros: you need to change what uid it is mounted as [02:48] in fstab [02:48] and that'll change the owner for all the files on it [02:48] hi [02:48] !hi [02:48] 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! [02:48] mhall: odd. Can you do the same with /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [02:49] i'm trying to migrate my system to raid1 [02:49] daftykins: Same error box after it extracts... [02:49] I created a bunch of mds on 2 extra disks and copied all the system partitions over [02:49] rww: OK [02:50] Random832: it wont let me create that user, saying it already exists, and i can't su into that user, as terminal claims it DOESNT exist... [02:50] Tendency: ok, copy the wubi.exe file from the CD and paste it into the same folder as where the ISO you created is; then run it [02:50] do I have to set the FS Type to xFD on BOTH disks in the array? [02:50] Leighton: what are the exact messages? [02:50] daftykins: does it matter what I called the ISO? [02:51] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/415888/ [02:51] hello [02:51] daftykins: Its asking for a disk. [02:51] Tendency: i have a feeling it may do, if it's karmic (v9.10) check out the names of the files @ releases.ubuntu.com [02:51] I SAID HELLO [02:51] also, I've tried updating grub by mounting the mds and chrooting there and running updte-grub. is that all I have todo?

[02:52] penguin_sysadmin, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic Ubuntu support here [02:52] bazhang: Don't spam me [02:52] cu: is the XP installation's partition using the entire disk space? [02:53] Leighton: the _group_ exists - the _user_ doesn't [02:53] you need a user with the same _uid_ - doesn't have to be the same name [02:53] penguin_sysadmin, I am not spamming you. I am informing you that this is not a chat channel. Chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:53] daftykins: With the correct filename its working, its checking the installation files now. [02:53] Tendency: ok :) [02:53] leighton: ls -ln on the files to get the uid [02:53] rww: i'm really puzzled with this one... mysterious 'splash' entries [02:53] daftykins: there's about 5 gig left, but the whole partition is for XP at the moment [02:53] bazhang: you're spamming me because you're carelessly assume that because i don't have a support question that i'm not here to give support, please grow up [02:53] rww: o_O O_o [02:53] penguin_sysadmin, hello [02:53] bazhang: also take it to #chat, because i think we're done chatting me and you [02:54] running_rabbit07: need help with something? [02:54] cu: ok if that's only free space within Windows' NTFS partition, you can only install with WUBI - and 5GB will be tight. ideally the XP install would be done to say, a 5-10GB partition then ubuntu installed after [02:54] Umm.. [02:54] daftykins: Its now downloading the torrent? [02:54] 0o [02:54] penguin_sysadmin, nope, just saying hello [02:54] How do I start Swat? http://localhost:901 results in no connection [02:54] Hi, while trying to find the fastest Ubuntu Repository server, is there any way to find the second faster server? The fastest server for me doesn't seem to be in order. (404 errors). [02:54] daftykins: am I better off running vmware to dual boot the two OS: XP and Ubuntu? [02:54] Tendency: does it give a name of what it's getting? [02:54] mhall: yeah, it's really odd. Looks like they're getting added by os-prober, I'm trying to figure out why it thinks that's a good idea... [02:55] Random832: OK, thx for your help, i got it sorted out now [02:55] cu: what's the scenario? are you just playing with ubuntu, or?

[02:55] daftykins: ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso is the name of the ISO i made... [02:55] don't shoot ! let him burn ! [02:55] mhall: If you didn't already, ask in #ubuntu+1, and I'll continue looking into it and let you know there if I figure anything out. [02:55] Just having connected my problematic machine to the internet, (with both wireless and cord), Ubuntu software center is not loading program software to download. How can I access all the programs? or get uuntu software center to function properly? [02:55] Random832: UID is the first 3-digit number displayed after the permissions list? [02:55] when ubuntu 10.04 will be released ? [02:55] Tendency: it might have detected a difference in the size or MD5 hash of the image and so is trying to torrent it to 'resume' the file; perhaps this isn't a good approach. hmm. [02:56] !software sources | umang [02:56] rww: ok thanks, greatly appreciated. meanwhile i think it is time to not use the beta version my coworker insisted upon [02:56] ricardo_krieg: april 29 [02:56] does anyone know raid1 stuff here? [02:56] penguin_sysadmin, I've tried that before, but I'm in India. I believe all connection in India end going through another country, so servers in Taiwan and US generally work better than those in India for me. [02:56] rww: it worked fine on my stable machine! :) [02:56] daftykins: If I was to do it the partioning way, could I pick only for it to use 20gb of the drive and my windows install be fine? [02:56] umang: that's normal [02:56] umang: ping the servers [02:56] xangua: do you know if it will come with gnome 3 ? [02:56] mhall: Yeah, this new plymouth stuff can be rather annoying :( [02:56] umang: it depends on the ping response and the connection type the server has [02:56] ricardo_krieg: no [02:56] Cornwall! WOOOO. :) (I live in Cornwall). [02:57] Tendency: you won't be able to 'resize' XP without the potential for data loss [02:57] Tendency: That's my last name :) [02:57] umang: in all honesty it would be better to support your local server though [02:57] penguin_sysadmin, alright. Shall do that. Thanks. :) [02:57] it's not comming with gnome 3 ricardo_krieg [02:57] ok [02:57] Tendency: you'd need to backup your data and reinstall XP to that smaller size partition ideally :( [02:57] Cornwall: So you don't live in Cornwall :O? [02:57] penguin_sysadmin, support as in? [02:57] as in, use it [02:57] switch10_: if my ubuntu software center isn't loading software for download, how do I reinstall? [02:57] what other kind of support could there be? [02:57] financial? [02:57] gonna go try that stuff, thanks, bbl [02:57] i'd recommend that too [02:57] daftykins: Well I'm hopefully getting a new harddrive for windows on tuesday, so I can re-install windows on that and use this harddrive for a Ubuntu full install.. [02:57] Tendency: Nope. Everything about my name points to that kind of nationality.... but I'm of Irish lineage! [02:57] Leighton: what's the number you see? it should be the same for all the files [02:58] Sk_Lg, sudo apt-get update [02:58] Cornwall: Lol :) [02:58] Try that. [02:58] rww: cool does not justify buggy, broken, and overbearing [02:58] (on mine, ls -ln has a number between the permissions and the uid) [02:58] daftykins: 160GB sufficent for Ubuntu? [02:58] Tendency: sounds good :) [02:58] rww: at least make the pkg purgeable without trashing mountall [02:58] rww: that way at least there would be some way to rip it out [02:58] penguin_sysadmin, Ah but at the moment I cannot even download a single package because the packages list doesn't even exist. I don't know whether I can inform them of the issue. I'll try. [02:58] mhall: I agree fully. Anyway, we should probably continue this in #ubuntu+1 [02:58] Tendency: oh absolutely, a fully installed and fully upgraded install (without cleaning up after) will use less than 3GB - obviously that's before any personal data === network is now known as Guest31489 [02:58] rww: i'm in there in another irss window [02:58] rww: irssi* [02:58] hi [02:59] umang: how can you set it as a respository if it doesn't have a file list in the first place? [02:59] umang: did you edit your package list recently¿ [02:59] it doesn't make any sense [02:59] daftykins: Its amazing how non-bloated it is compared to Windows... But unfortunately there are a few things i can't live without in Windows... photoshop for one. [02:59] whats the package to turn off the laptop touchpad ? [02:59] Tendency: I thought it ran fine with Wine.... or are you needing native drivers? :) [02:59] Tendency: gimp is about as good, and photoshop runs in wine [02:59] i have some problem to implement my ftp and remote access. any help ? [02:59] stopsign: not all laptop touchpads can be turned off easily [02:59] stopsign: system> preferences> mouse [03:00] ok, after running sudo apt-get update: W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the preivous index files will be used. [03:00] hey_you: that depends entirely up if you're willing to accept the help [03:00] Tendency: to be honest, it's true that Windows is messy and what not, but i can do an XP install that is fully updated and under 1.5GB in size after manual cleaning. it is definitely lengthy and tedious compared with a nice ubuntu install though :) [03:00] penguin_sysadmin, I set it as my repository, then sudo apt-get update and get this: Err http://ubuntuarchive.hnsdc.com karmic-updates/restricted Packages 404 Not Found [03:00] Photoshop runs in wine? :O [03:00] i absolutely accept the help !! [03:00] Tendency: cs2 at least [03:00] Tendency: Glad your day has been made :) [03:00] likely, check out the wine list [03:00] Cornwall: XD [03:01] hey_you: well the please give us some errors to work with, because we don't have ESP [03:01] ten [03:01] then [03:01] xangua, I was trying to install a package, but I stopped after my old repository downloaded at only 4kB/s. [03:01] *sigh* googling 'wine list' does not give the desired results [03:01] xD [03:01] Tendency: check out the wine website for a check [03:01] just go to the wine website and follow the menus [03:01] they have an app database [03:01] Tendency: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17 [03:01] Ty :) [03:01] CS4 gets a Silver. Not bad [03:01] so, i installed vsftpd, i opened the port 21 on my router, and the server run when i allow anonymous loggin. But when I set password and user (i created groups), i can't connect === root is now known as Guest10347 [03:02] Cornwall: please don't google obvious things for people. you're opening a door we won't be able to close [03:02] penguin_sysadmin: Oh? Please explain. [03:02] Cornwall: well people are going to be see they can get away without googling [03:02] penguin_sysadmin: Oh, I get it [03:02] penguin_sysadmin, do know if there is any CLI way to check fastest server? [03:03] penquin_sysadmin: Lol a good resource for that is http://lmgtfy.com/ xD Oh and I did google, just a stupid stupid stupid query xD [03:03] umang: i told you alrady [03:03] found it ty anyways gsynaptics [03:03] penguin_sysadmin, its entirely appropriate to help others google items. Please dont suggest otherwise [03:03] Tendency: that's just rude [03:03] Hey, I have a problem with sound in kubuntu karmic. When I stream video there is no sound. Any ideas of how to fix it? [03:03] bazhang: i'm helping more than you, please be logical [03:03] switch10_: now the pictures don't load from the internet from ubuntu software center? [03:03] penguin_sysadmin, please be civil or you will be removed [03:03] penguin_sysadmin, alright. Thanks anyway. :) [03:03] penquin_sysadmin: Let me google that for you isn't rude! Its an innovation in Tech Support! Should be the #1 tool of all live support employees xD [03:03] hey guys does anyone know how to make ntpd queries to come out from a particular host/ip ? [03:04] bazhang: you're agressive and i'm feeling uncomfortable, please read my statements again word by word and you will see they are entirely polite and considerate [03:04] hey_you: FTP only uses port 21 for the 'control' information; it also uses a data range on ports you specify to handle the actual data connection. for example i ran an FTP server @ port 21, then data on ports 1024->1030; this then meant i had to configure a client to connect as 'passive ftp' [03:04] i said don't google >obvious< things [03:04] I just purchased a 1tb hard drive that came standard with several partitions. I'd like to create a single partition. The default file system is ext2. Any reason to, or not to use this file system? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:05] Tamnakz: Go for Ext4 I believe, fsck is much faster [03:05] Hi, I'm trying to stop gdm, how can I do this>? [03:05] Tamnakz: no journal [03:05] umang: any better than that you can wget a file from each server to test which are faster [03:05] slackster: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [03:05] fool_ no journal??? [03:05] fool_: I want to stop it [03:05] umang: but even then it depends on server load, maybe the server in USA has less traffic at noon because everyone is out at lunch? [03:05] slackster: then repalce restart by stop [03:05] Tamnakz: I don't think ext2 has journaling. I may be wrong, though [03:05] Tamnakz: higher chance of corruption [03:06] hayden92: what's the difference between them? Will they be compatible to plug into windows? (external hd) [03:06] daftykins : but i set the same server (with filezilla server) on windows. It works absolutely well. I didn't have to set a passive mode for in windows [03:06] cornwall, you concurr on ext4 then? [03:06] Tamnakz: certainly. It's a great filesystem [03:06] ext2 is not journaling [03:06] fool_: also when I do that it gives me some message: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [03:06] Tamnakz: WIndows only read ntfs and fat32 [03:06] two aint bad, can we bat three for three? [03:06] utility, e.g. service gdm stop [03:06] Tamnakz: www.fs-driver.org/ [03:06] slackster: then do it [03:06] ok, so if I need it to be windows compatible I need to go fat32 [03:07] correct? [03:07] fool_: but that also doesn't work.. or my syntax is wrong [03:07] penguin_sysadmin, I was wondering more in terms of the final list of five to ten servers that the GUI seems to download are the fasted from the pinging stage. If I could download from each of them manually then I would find the most ideal on myself. But I'll check it out myself. Thanks for your help! :) [03:07] Tamnakz, ntfs for large hdd [03:07] Tamnakz: You can go NTFS as well. Both FAT and NTFS aren't very good. The site that fool_ gave you is good, too [03:07] fool_: sudo service gdm stop <- doesn't work [03:07] Tamnakz: Yes, or Ntfs, whichever you preer [03:07] it doesn't give me the option for ntfs?? [03:07] slackster: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [03:07] it's greyed out ont he partition editor [03:07] sudo* [03:07] umang: right-o, consider supporting me next time an operator decides to pick on me ;) [03:07] fool_: yes that's what I tried before I cam here [03:08] Tamnakz: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [03:08] came [03:08] Tamnakz, it being gparted live cd? or something other [03:08] gparted [03:08] hey_you: was that internally or externally? [03:08] (network or internet) [03:08] Tamnakz: run that command and then restart gparted [03:08] Tamnakz: what do you wanna do ? [03:08] fool_: it works for xubuntu, and also similar in freebsd, ubuntu doesn't want to [03:08] daftykins : it was externally via another computer & network [03:08] Hello, I have a problem with sound in kubuntu karmic. When I stream, there is no sound. Anyone have an idea what I can do? [03:08] fool_ I just need to format so that I can use it for storage, mostly movies and the such [03:08] ntfs is a better filesystem? [03:09] Tamnakz: it is better than FAT, but not by much [03:09] penguin_sysadmin, oops. didn't see that while I was trying ping some servers. :P [03:09] Guest10347: try to close any applications that use sound and try again. [03:09] ok. [03:09] I'll dl ntfs and go that route [03:09] thanks folks! once again you're all baller! [03:09] hey_you: pretty sure you're going to need more than #21 for behind a router; it's possible another FTP server was UPnP aware and so opened the ports automatically for the data. [03:09] Tamnakz: just use ext4 and ssh/sshfs :P [03:09] daftykins : also, when i try to setup a remote desktop, it was written : Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. I know it is because i have a router. I opened the port 5 900 but it still don't work [03:09] hey people, i have a question [03:09] I have to be windows compatible! [03:10] slackster: why would you wanna do it anyway [03:10] thefedorabug: Just ask it :) [03:10] hey_you: some ISPs block some ports [03:10] fool_: because I use this machine as a server and want to free RAM [03:10] Firefox is the only program running which uses sound [03:10] Cornwall, yesterday, i was kicked from this server [03:10] Evening All [03:10] with wput how do I tell it to upload to the first directory when it connects? [03:10] Cornwall, just because i asked floodbot1, if he is a bot [03:10] Guys if any one here USES Avast for linux and are getting engine errors i have posted a fix on ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448803 [03:11] Cornwall, I dont understand this [03:11] Cornwall, did i do anything wrong? [03:11] thefedorabug, yes. do you have an actual ubuntu support question? [03:11] slackster: ahh in that case just remove gdm, gnome and all GUI stuff [03:11] daftykins : but i have been into my ISP panel and opened the needed port [03:11] thefedorabug: I'm not an admin around here. There may have been a complete jerk that didn't appreciate the question [03:11] thefedorabug: certainly not in my book did you do anything wrong, but people will be people :( [03:11] bazhang, yes, my ubuntu gets stuck at "booting from hd0" screen [03:11] thefedorabug, you were removed by another bot idoru for excess spam [03:11] fool_: humm... that's not really what I want [03:11] does Swat require apache? [03:12] hey_you: ISP panel? is it a hosted server? [03:12] daftykins : I opened the port 5900 on tcp and port 20&21 on tcp [03:12] thefedorabug: If you did spam, then that is something a little wrong :D [03:12] Izinucs: it's a web based administration tool, it'll need a web server [03:12] daftykins : no, it's a home server [03:12] i did not do anything like spam [03:12] penguin_sysadmin: i'm no admin here, but you were not picked on, you are being arrogant, disrespecting the ops, and, no, you're not helping ppl, you're "telling" n00bs WHAT to do, and not HOW to do it, if they need more you move on and make them feel stupid. bazhang has ben more patient with you than i would be, you obviously don't follow the "ubuntu way", neway, out [03:12] slackster: what exactly do you want ? [03:12] i just asked floodbot if he is a bot [03:12] daftykins: some have their own server that's why I asked.. [03:12] is that anything wrong????? [03:12] just out of curiosity i asked it :) [03:13] fool_: to stop gdm [03:13] thefedorabug, it is. lets move on. [03:13] kill.. stop ...etc [03:13] ok [03:13] need help http://pastie.org/924143 [03:13] can someone help with firefox, I lost my type entry bar [03:13] my postfix is completely dead [03:13] fool_: lol.. nothing like stopx? [03:14] Izinucs: "apt-cache showpkg " to check dependancies, to see if it'll pull in apache [03:14] nevermind, I got it back [03:14] no idea why and nobody seemsto be able to help [03:14] hey does anyone know a command like valgrind/time that will report peak memory useage? [03:14] hey_you: ok so you opened the port on your own personal router [03:14] any? [03:14] *anyone? [03:14] slackster: oh well i never really have the need so ... [03:14] slackster: /etc/init.d/gdm has always work for me [03:15] slackster: worst case you can find the pid and kill it [03:15] how do i get my audio input to be played back AS WELL as recorded? [03:15] daftykins : yes !! but i tried to scan the opened port here : http://www.frameip.com/scan/ and even when i asked for the port to be open they are not always open [03:15] fool_: ok, thanks I don't know why it isn't working for me this time, seems like it has before. [03:15] halp again! It won't create an ntfs partition? [03:15] daftykins: ok.. apache isn't there as a dependancy.. still Swat doesn't start with localhost:901 [03:15] fool_: I think it has worked from ssh session [03:15] Guys if any one here USES Avast for linux and are getting engine errors i have posted a fix on ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448803 [03:15] Tamnakz, you booted from the gparted livecd? [03:15] slackster: grep the pid and kill it [03:15] daftykins : for example, i set for the 5900 port to be open on tcp, but this site http://www.frameip.com/scan/ don't recognize it as open [03:15] nope [03:16] Izinucs: after installation did you see the daemon start? have you tried invoking it now? [03:16] fool_: ok, I'll try that route, thanks [03:16] standard boot [03:16] anyone know how to get my audio input to be played back? [03:16] Tamnakz, might want to get that; its only 60MB or so [03:16] error details state: /dev/sdb1 is mounted. refusing to make a filesystem here! [03:16] hey_you: my french isn't so good, what is 'ferme' ? closed? [03:16] Tamnakz, its mounted? [03:17] bazhang, I cannot boot with a cd [03:17] yes. [03:17] should I unmount and partition then? [03:17] if there is a game (like SC2beta) that is only available on windows, how, and can I, Install it on linux? [03:17] Tamnakz, you need to umount it [03:17] daftykins: how do I invoke it? [03:17] Sk_Lg, using wine [03:17] bazhang will gparted still see it unmounted? [03:17] Sk_Lg: wine/virtualbox/vmware/dual boot [03:17] Sk_Lg, check the appdb to see if it works [03:17] Izinucs: check in /etc/init.d/ for a swat related item [03:17] daftykins : it can mean "closed". Or "farm". But i think in this context it rather mean closed [03:17] !appdb | Sk_Lg [03:17] Sk_Lg: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [03:18] hey_you: yeah, that site doesn't work then, as it says a port i know is open for me is closed :) [03:18] anyone know much about audio input/output? [03:18] hi all I am trying to get a logitech webcam 120 working with skype the skype webcams page says it should work [03:18] daftykins: it isn't there. :( [03:18] shows up in lsusb as "Logitech, Inc. QuickCam UpdateMe" [03:19] daftykins: here is another one where you can test your port http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ . Same results for me [03:19] bazhang, unmounting worked [03:19] Thanks! [03:19] Lots of people. Awsome. [03:19] george_: We'll do our best... [03:19] Hi! My torrent dl in 9.10 is stopping with an error message: "Error: Invalid argument: ". It's a long filename, and I see in the error message it's truncated. Does transmission have a limit on path/filename lengths? [03:19] Need help making a shell script... [03:19] thank you! [03:19] Or a little guidance towards the right direction [03:19] hayedn92: thanks for responding [03:19] how do i get the nonfree codecs like divx and mp3 installed? [03:19] sirflexalot: That does what? [03:20] george_: So what's the question? [03:20] !codecs | kdavid [03:20] kdavid: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:20] haavaros : Maybe? Never ran into that problem. My quick workaround would to be to make a symbolic link to it, using ln -s /path/to/your/long/filepath [03:20] kdavid, ubuntu-restricted-extras package [03:20] hey_you: i just port scanned you myself, port 5900 shows as closed; are you sure that your computer is set with the correct static IP e.g. 192.168.0.10 and that the router port forward for 5900 is pointing to the right IP? [03:20] Anyways, is there a strip command that works like php's strpos for shell scripts? [03:20] bazhang, sudo apt-get? [03:21] daftykins : absolutely because it was working well under windows [03:21] kdavid, add install then yes [03:21] sirflexalot: Well, it's the torrent name thats incredibly long [03:21] can't we all get along before i go find an OP? [03:21] hayden92: i have a (music) keyboard plugged into the 'audio input' jack, and recording works just fine, but i also want to be able to hear what i play through headphones as i record [03:21] haavaros: Eh, then im not sure about that. Whats the link to the torrent, i'll try it on my system? [03:21] hey [03:21] Capt_Blackwood, what? [03:21] is there something I need to do to get the uvcvideo driver working ? [03:22] wht would be a gud linux alternative for digsby [03:22] hey_you: ok well, it telling me that it is closed means the service is not running on your computer [03:22] nothing, yet... [03:22] george_: What program are you recording with? [03:22] sirflexalot: Hm, nvm that ... another torrent with alonger name is working now [03:22] haavaros: kk, sorry! good thing something worked. [03:23] daftykins : hmm.. i am going to try on my open ubuntu computer to see if I can connect [03:23] exit [03:23] sirflexalot: Could it be some problem with the newly formatted FAT32 filesystem I'm downloading to? [03:23] how do I get settings back after 9.10 upgrade? I want to allow root login, and there is no tabs in 'login window' settings [03:23] gah, another issue. When I try to access the fresh ntfs partition, it gives an error "system policy prevents mounting internal media" [03:23] !root|acovrig [03:23] acovrig: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:24] Hello, I've just successfully installed Ubuntu on my Powerbook G4 '12. In the upgrading process, I have the following issue: when I try to upgrade, towards the end, CPU usage goes up to %100 and shuts down. Any fix for this? [03:24] So, i need to take a list of files, each one with a lot of lines, and strip the info out of each line that i need, and put it in a seperate file, or better yet, into a Google Earth xml [03:24] and a root _gui_ login is just insane on any distro [03:24] Anyone here have any success theming Karmic's GDM? I've tried some things I found in forums with no success. [03:24] how do I get settings back after 9.10 upgrade? I want to allow root login, and there is no tabs in 'login window' settings [03:24] acovrig: Unlocking the root account, and associated actions thereof, are not supported in this channel. [03:24] http://www.digsby.com/?utm_campaign=vid&utm_source=vid&utm_medium=vid&utm_content=vid [03:24] gah, got past that. .. [03:24] haavaros : that might be possible, i had some problems when converting from ntfs to ext3 with transmission. note: im on ubuntu server now w/o a gui [03:24] acovrig: why do you want to log into X as root? [03:24] it won't let me create a folder? [03:24] hayden92: just sound recorder right now, but i would prefer to learn how to get audio input to be played without software [03:24] rww, I don't want to unblock root, i can run 'sudo -i' but I want it in X11 [03:25] acovrig: why? [03:25] http://www.digsby.com/?utm_campaign=vid&utm_source=vid&utm_medium=vid&utm_content=vid [03:25] just use gksu [03:25] it's like the gui version of sudo [03:25] Random832, so I dont have to auth for everything during setup, btw, how do i install a list of packages from 'list.txt'? [03:25] hayden92: maybe audacity can fix my problem, but this seems like a pretty short term solution [03:26] acovrig: auth for everything like whaT? [03:26] just run nautilus in gksu [03:26] quit [03:26] Almost too many people in here to help me with a shell script. >.< PM me if you are good at shell scripting plz. [03:26] I want X11 in 'sudo -i' I guess [03:26] acovrig: why all of X11? what particular X11 apps are you trying to use that you want to run as root? [03:26] hey guys [03:26] george_: are you sure you have your sound setup properly in "gnome-volume-control"? [03:27] guys, how can i undo this command to this user have shell access to my server? [03:27] sudo usermod -s /bin/false teamspeak [03:27] random832, any [03:27] acovrig: huh? you don't have a specific thing in mind you need it for? [03:27] george_: Because I usually just plug in my speakers into the headphone jack and can play my keyboard and no software is needed [03:27] you haven't explained _WHY_ you want a whole X session running as root [03:28] you just keep repeating that you do [03:28] and i'm going to say that's a really stupid thing to want even on distros that _don't_ block the root account [03:28] pHcF: same thing, without the /bin/false [03:28] Let me make my issue a little more specific: I've just successfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my Powerbook G4 '12. In the upgrading process, I have the following issue: when I try to upgrade, towards the end, CPU usage goes up to %100 and shuts down. Any fix for this? [03:28] hayden92: i think so, i can record just fine, and i can play sound just fine [03:28] hayden92: and nothing is muted [03:28] rww: sudo usermod -s teamspeak is an ilegal option :/ [03:29] heyya [03:29] jules184, what are you upgrading to? [03:29] i want to have the sudo command sudo nvclock -f -F 100 run at start up.. can i run sudo commands on startup? [03:29] pHcF: meh, the manpage is wrong, then. Try /bin/bash instead of /bin/false [03:30] it's /bin/bash /bin/sh [03:30] or ? [03:30] /bin/bash [03:30] jules184: and APT upgrade after installation?

[03:36] I'm eyeing the asus eee netbook 1001p, does anyone have this laptop and can you tell me if there's anything you have/had trouble with? [03:36] btakita: what aspect of hdparm? the benchmarks? [03:37] Capt_Blackwook: It should be around 3000 mb [03:37] Anyone here have any success theming Karmic's GDM? I've tried some things I found in forums with no success. [03:37] Capt_Blackwook: It should be around 3000 MB/sec [03:37] what the cycles are for ALSA stable releases? is it 6 month intervals ?

It worked but I am scared to reboot because It might not boot again, help!

[03:39] aw crap [03:39] daftykins: Let me sanity check [03:39] btakita: yeah that's not realistic numbers (: [03:39] TimothyA: thats why its not there :P [03:39] hayden92, i've tried each output setting, none are any different, and i only have two inputs even though it says i have 6 (the microphone jack dosent help) [03:40] I need help. :( [03:40] daftykins: On a 10k drive, I'm getting 6.6k [03:40] so if i install ubuntu to an external on one computer [03:40] daftykins: On a 10k drive, I'm getting 6.6k MB [03:40] and boot from the external on another [03:40] will i encounter hardware issues usually [03:40] btakita: can you pastebin the output of the hdparm command you're running? :) [03:40] hayden92: my output option is called: "Analog Output / Amplifier" [03:41] so how do I get a signature to work in thunderbird? [03:41] I updated my video card drivers to the recommended version and it told me that I had to restart and so I did. When it restarted it was just a black screen with a white underscore on the screen. Help!  [03:41]  I got it to boot up but the splash screen was like all messed up and stuff. [03:41] when I write something up in open office and save it as an odt and use it as my signature it shows up as retarded characters in thunderbird [03:41] george_: Ok, I have two suggestions [03:41] hi everyone :) is someone running KDE in a virtualbox under win7 ? :) i can't seem to use OpenGL for desktop effect even if i installed guest additions [03:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/415901/ [03:42] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/415901/ [03:42] guys [03:42] how do i set an user's root access folder? [03:42] just to that folder [03:42] and not something higher? [03:42] and remove his root permissions [03:42] that are given when i use the adduser command? [03:42] btakita: try the unbuffered ones :) [03:42] ! vbox [03:42] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [03:43] george_: The first is to install the Jack audio controller, which you may be able to find some setting to toy around with. (Try something like "sudo apt-get install jack") [03:43] !chromium [03:43] You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [03:43] what is the default nvidia driver in 10.04 and how do I revert back to it ? edit xorg.conf ? [03:43] tertitten: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [03:43] tertitten, Nouveau [03:43] daftykins: Aah, ok, thanks. However my laptop is really slow right now. When it was fast (earlier today), the cached reads were 10x faster. I don't remember what the buffered reads were. [03:44] do I simply edit xorg.conf and put nouveau under device ? [03:44] tertitten, I am using it and it warks pretty well [03:44] george_: The second is to install "mscore" a music typesetting program. You can set it to play back (through midi soundfonts) whatever you play on the keyboard [03:44] are there plans to include microsoft silver light plug in to ubuntu [03:44] george_: Neither of these suggestions are great... but they're worth a go [03:44] tertitten, i believe you'll get better responses in #ubuntu+1 [03:44] daftykins: You meant the buffered reads, right? [03:44] ubottu: silverlight | nnnnn [03:44] nnnnn: For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [03:44] I updated my video card drivers to the recommended version and it told me that I had to restart and so I did. When it restarted it was just a black screen with a white underscore on the screen. Help!  [03:44] nnnnn: you can use moonlight [03:44] tertitten, don't know for sure, I have never conigured it, it just worked for me === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux_ [03:45] hey guys, i am looking for a commandline multithreaded SCP client, know of any? [03:45] btakita: try "sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda" and see what the interface speed is set to, you should be on the top UDMA setting; although SATA can often be read wrong [03:46] sirflexalot: Regarding the fat32/torrent problem, a reformat to ext4 seems to have solved it ... weird ... do you want to try the torrents to see if you get the problem? [03:46] ok, thanks anyway [03:47] how do I get settings back after 9.10 upgrade? I want to allow root login, and there is no tabs in 'login window' settings [03:47] how do I install every package listed in 'list.txt'? [03:47] thanks for the info, has anyone had experience with lotus symphony, as in was it good, I read ubuntu is planning on extensive support for it [03:48] acovrig: i can only echo the advice mentioned above, logging in as root is a very bad idea. [03:48] lotus symphony? Sorry i haven't heard of or used it [03:48] acovrig: install from a .txt¿ :S [03:48] daftykins: The Gen1 signaling speed? [03:48] Capt_Blackwood: is the IBM office suit [03:49] suit? [03:49] nnnnn: lotus is incluided in te repositories [03:49] daftykins: Gen1 signaling speed (1.5Gb/s) [03:49] Capt_Blackwood: openoffice, kofffice [03:49] ok thanks :D [03:50] btakita: ah that just means SATA "v1" before it got doubled from 150MB/sec to 300MB/sec [03:50] oh god, t_pol <<< now that's a user name :D [03:50] any one know of any way to get at the g35 headset's surround channels? [03:51] daftykins, i've been doing it for years without problems [03:51] daftykins: ok, let me read up on it. thanks for your help. Can I ping you when I find it? [03:51] xangua, its been mentioned before, and I lost my connection and so the info, does ubottu keep a log? [03:52] btakita: i'm on GMT so it's almost 4am here, i'll probably be asleep but sure :) [03:52] daftykins: :-) ok. thx [03:52] acovrig: i'm afraid that doesn't make it any safer :) [03:52] daftykins, I know what I'm doing, and I have my own reasons [03:52] hayden92: i found 'jackeq': "jackEQ is a tool for routing and manipulating audio from/to multiple input/output sources" [03:53] how do I use a signature in thunderbird? [03:53] george_: That sounds like the one you're looking for [03:55] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/415908/ - My laptop (Transport: Serial) - My work machine (Serial, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5) [03:55] daftykins: Is that normal? [03:55] btakita: there you go line 35, it's on the top mode so that's good. [03:56] what is the CLI remote command to pull up windows terminal??? [03:56] hayden92: well, the jackeq program is being screwy, when i open it, it immedeatly closes [03:56] haydent92: i think i'll restart [03:56] any one know of any way to get at the g35 headset's surround channels? [03:56] snypzz: say again? [03:57] daftykins: aah, so probably a hardware issue? [03:57] george_: Hold on [03:57] btakita: the main thing to bear in mind is that a laptop drive, being 2.5" in form factor and generally spinning at the lower RPM, will never be as fast as a 3.5" desktop drive spinning at 7200rpm or greater - though that statistic of yours referring to reading gigabytes in 2 seconds is a little unrealistic :) [03:57] trying to use ubuntu terminal command line to pull up remote windows machine [03:57] george_: It's looking for another program [03:58] how do I use a signature in thunderbird? [03:58] george_: I'm checking it out now [03:58] forgot the command, want to create a bat file to put on my desktop [03:59] snypzz: I think it is "cmd" [03:59] starting to get back into the CLI CMD LINES again [03:59] I'm nto sure though, haven't used win in a while [03:59] daftykins: I see, however aren't cached reads served from RAM or something? Also, the 10k raptor drive cache is 20x faster. Does that seem right? [04:00] snypzz: i'm honestly unaware of any way to remotely connect to a windows PC via CLI from a *nix computer [04:00] I am hosting UBUNTU Guesting WIN7 [04:00] could anyone tell me how to CREATE and EXECUTE a shell script [04:00] btakita: that's right yes, it's purely the speed from the cache RAM on the hard disk rather than from the disk platter surfaces [04:00] but still have a lot of windows machines [04:00] Ganeshiva: just create a text file, give it execution permissions and run it with ./ [04:01] <[Screamo]> Anyone know of a music player that has a an EQ? [04:01] any one know of any way to get at the g35 headset's surround channels? [04:01] daftykins: Ok, I could have sworn that my laptop's cache speed was 10x faster a couple of hours ago. [04:01] [Screamo]: you can add an equalizer to pulseaudio lemme look it up [04:01] daftykins: And my system was faster to boot. [04:01] btakita: i'm not so sure how reliable hdparm's results are; it was only really a common program back in 'IDE' or 'PATA' disk times i think [04:01] water_foul, i'd appreciate that equalizer too [04:02] <[Screamo]> water_foul thanks :) [04:02] anyone have that CLI to remote into windows remote [04:02] chd`1: edit->account settings. click on an account (me@someisp) [04:02] what extension must be used to save the shell script [04:02] fudge, i need a multithreaded scp client [04:03] [Screamo] & Capt_Blackwood: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [04:03] Ganeshiva: it doesn't need one [04:03] Ganeshiva: none are required but .sh is semi standard [04:03] daftykins: Fair enough. Ok, check this out. My laptop is fast again. Look at these numbers. http://paste.ubuntu.com/415916/ [04:03] btakita: weird :S no other apps running? [04:04] <[Screamo]> Thanks water_foul! [04:04] what is the compare string using shell script [04:04] i have tried [04:04] if [ $var == "value" ] [04:04] then [04:04] echo is the same [04:04] fi [04:04] Ganeshiva: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:04] george_: It's looking for another process to be running called "JACK", install it by typing "sudo apt-get install jackd" into the terminal [04:04] daftykins: No. I was doing development (running Rails tests, which uses lots of cpu and disk), and my machine got slow in the middle of running the tests. [04:04] ok sir FloodBot1 [04:04] water_foul, thanks [04:05] daftykins: Then remained slow for a while. [04:05] daftykins: Even after a couple of reboots. [04:05] np [04:05] If you then run Jack "Sound and Video->Jack Control", and then run JackEQ your problems should be over [04:06] george_: Let me know how it goes [04:06] Hi, I have a macbook pro (one of the ones where there is no mouse button below the trackpad... the whole trackpad is a button). One of the things that you can do while in MacOS is keep one finger near the bottom of the trackpad and it will ignore it. That is, in MacOS, there is a simulated button at the bottom of the track pad which does not take part in things like scrolling and right clicking. Does anyone know if this functionality is available under Ubu [04:06] ntu? [04:06] daftykins: Maybe the cache got saturated and finally flushed? [04:07] btakita: ah yes it's quite possible that what it was reading the kernel had put into system RAM yeah [04:07] TravisD: The only mouse control panel in Ubuntu that I'm aware of is in "System->Preferences->Mouse [04:07] can anyone help shell script for comparing two strings [04:07] btakita: maybe after repeating the test a few times it had cached it once again; after the development apps had finished [04:08] hayden92, I was hoping there might be some package I could install, or something like that. There is quite a bit on the internet about configuring synaptics to be more friendly to Macbooks, but nothing about this particular problem [04:10] daftykins: However, does that explain why the entire system is slow (GCC, ruby, gnome, etc.)? I'm not sure if running the tests affected it at all. [04:10] daftykins: Since I did my other "benchmark" (time ruby config/environment.rb) [04:11] TravisD: Sorry but I'm not a Mac User myself; you can try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289113 [04:11] daftykins: I'm not sure if it's faulty hardware or a software bug somewhere. [04:11] can anyone help me with a shell script for comparing two strings in ubuntu 9.10 [04:11] btakita: ubuntu pops up error messages when disks are on the way out, through bad sectors or other SMART errors [04:12] btakita: if there's a hardware problem, i think the first place to go would be to run memtest to see if your system RAM checks out ok [04:13] anyone with any experience running hfs+ on ubuntu? nautilus is finding the drive and showing most of its contents. but permission problems on much of the data on the hfs+ volume. where it shows my folders but wont let me into some of them. I also tried this with a sudu nautilus. same permission problems... [04:13] hayden92: JackEq still doesnt open [04:14] george_: have you clicked the start button in the JACK program? [04:15] maxxist: someone was in here just earlier saying you need to be in a user account with the same UID of the user the HFS+ drive was used/created by, to be ok [04:15] Hey, are there debs for ubuntu for the latest nvidia driver? i hate manually installing things... [04:15] is there a repository for 9.10 or something [04:15] df00z1: use envyng [04:15] should i goto 10.04 now? [04:15] or stay with 9.10 [04:16] is there any error in this program http://paste.ubuntu.com/415919/ [04:16] and is it really worth me changing for 64bit so i get all of my ram? [04:16] Guest71724: if you gotta ask stick with 9.10 [04:16] df00z1: it it in the repos and it ill download and install the nvidia drivers from nvidia [04:16] daftykins, umm. thats an odd fix. [04:16] cool [04:16] Guest72310, first, Lucid isnt stable. Second, wait until its released first before asking us if you should switch. and stay with 32-bit for nwo [04:16] !10.04 | Guest72310 [04:16] Guest72310: 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 [04:16] well when 10.04 is released can i just updated straight away? [04:16] maxxist: worth a google first i think :) i'd not go too far on my off-chance reading :) [04:16] or will i need fresh install [04:16] Guest72310 there's a way to stay 32bit and still get all your ram... [04:17] well i know how to do it manually [04:17] it just doesnt seem the ubuntu way [04:17] haha [04:17] Guest72310: usually, the update dialog will have an update button at the top [04:17] daftykins: ok thanks. I'll go ahead and start memtest. I assume that it's a bios thing. Is that checks out, then I know it's probably a bug :-) [04:17] how would i do this w/o ipfw in ubuntu? : sudo ipfw add 2000 deny tcp from any to any 1935 out [04:17] im trying to setup squid for hulu [04:18] and need to block that port on the server [04:18] btakita: no problem :) if you develop ok without anything crashing etc. though, i'm probably very wrong. anyway must be to bed :) good night! drop me a PM if you find anything out [04:19] daftykins: Sure. Thanks for your help. Good night :-) [04:19] hayden92: something isn't working right, and i gotta go; i'm going to restart and see if stuff works when i get back.

[04:53] never mind im just going to use a windows zip file in wine [04:53] glob3x: ask your question and provide details [04:54] i have a 32lcd phillips tv.. and the current resolution is 800X600 and i can't get higger.. [04:54] i downloaded and installed lotus symphony and open office and have looked for plug ins for style of wring both incorectly lable a sentence that has pasive voice as ok [04:55] I just installed ubuntu lucid on a vmware instance and the keyboard doesn't work. Is there any way I can bring up an onscreen keyboard on the login screen? [04:55] is there one that exists? [04:57] I just installed ubuntu lucid on a vmware instance and the keyboard doesn't work. Is there any way I can bring up an onscreen keyboard on the login screen? Or any ideas why the keyboard wouldn't work and how to troubleshoot it... without having the keyboard working? [04:58] dark_shikari, why not try virtual box [04:58] Does vmware support usb? [04:58] hello everyone. How do i cleanup the "open with" list? [04:59] i m still waitting [04:59] voss749: the vbox of repositories no [04:59] it's open office 3.1.1 and symphony 1.3.0 [04:59] voss749: I would assume so. it's an integrated laptop keyboard [04:59] evon: I could try that [04:59] just figure I might as well try to get vmware to work right while I'm at it [04:59] hello everyone [04:59] voss749, VMware WOrkstation does. Using it now. [05:00] Dark, try clicking the mouse on the virtual os screen and then try typing [05:00] i have a 32lcd phillips tv.. and the current resolution is 800X600 and i can't get higger.. [05:00] voss749: I'm not stupid [05:00] is there a special command that you have to type to allow RPD in ubuntu? [05:00] the mouse works fine. the keyboard does not. [05:00] glob3x: my uncle also tried to connect both, windows and linux, to his tv; only supported 800*600 too :S [05:00] why? [05:00] Dark, sometimes OS can be confused between windows [05:00] glob3x, Chances are, your tv only supports up to 800x600 [05:00] voss749: Yes. I know when I'm focused on the window [05:01] glob3x: no idea, but only that resolution fits well [05:01] is there no onscreen keyboard for ubuntu? [05:01] i can't connect my network wifi with usb key tenda [05:01] glob3x, It's just what the TV manufacturer says. They "said so" [05:01] gerard what chipset is the usb wifi adapter [05:01] Dark_Shikari, yes, this is. [05:02] Dark_Shikari, sorry - there is* [05:02] i dont no [05:02] d33d: How do I activate it at the login screen? [05:02] too bad bad buy [05:02] Dark_Shikari, there should be a little blue / white button or little stick man in the bottom right corner...click it and a window should pop up and you have a check box to select the oskeyboard. [05:03] the bottom right is the power button [05:03] Oh, it's near "Gnome" [05:03] Dark_Shikari, one second. [05:03] well my only option is .. enjoy by my ps3 [05:03] by hdmi [05:03] i receive the network with many green bar but no connection [05:03] weell tahks alot.. [05:03] Dark_Shikari, yes, sorry, its on that botton\m line somewhere... [05:03] d33d: When I check the box for the keyboard, another window appears for about 0.3 seconds [05:03] and disappears [05:03] Nothing else happens [05:04] gerard, try reseting everything [05:04] it's labelled "onboard" from what I can see before it disappears [05:04] otherwise, it's empty [05:04] Dark_Shikari, Had that happen once... not sure. is it 10.04? [05:04] it's Lucid, yes [05:04] Dark_Shikari, yeah, had the same problem...i think its a bug. [05:04] hi, I'm looking for the file where the local address is defined. [05:04] blagh [05:05] Dark_Shikari, It works with 9.10 (or at least it did with mine) [05:05] meh. I'd rather not use such an ancient distro... [05:05] isn't that the current release? [05:06] yes, hence rather ancient [05:06] Dark_Shikari, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [05:06] lol [05:06] ... [05:06] Dark_Shikari, you like to "bleed" eh? [05:06] d33d: I like to have software that isn't 2 years old [05:06] Dark_Shikari, this is not the correct channel for lucid [05:07] Dark_Shikari, i think its like 6 mo cycle dude. [05:07] October 2009 was two years ago? My, time flies. [05:07] evon, it's possible to connect on adoc network but not with my wifi server [05:07] Dark_Shikari, there's a new version every 6 mo. [05:07] d33d: yeah, but being a developer of a program in ubuntu, it takes another 6 months to get the program in the first place [05:07] and when they pick the version to include, it's already 6 months old [05:08] 6 months + 6 months + 6 months and you're already nearing 2 years [05:08] Dark_Shikari, well, you're +1 on me :( [05:08] Dark_Shikari, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic lucid support in #ubuntu+1 [05:08] hi, I'm looking for the file where the local address is defined. [05:08] something like /etc/hosts [05:08] datzy, like local ip address/ [05:09] yes [05:09] i cant seem to find any pakages in shell could there be a reason for this [05:09] billy2007: how are you searching? [05:10] sudo apt-get install speed-dreams [05:10] try something like sudo apt-cache search speed-dreams [05:10] maybe the package name is wrong [05:10] well no sudo needed I think [05:11] the package name right i know that i dont know much about shell though all i want to do is find deb package [05:12] billy2007: you have tried synaptic package manager? [05:12] maybe easier to find it [05:12] how sure are you that it's right? I don't see anything remotely similar in http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=speed&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [05:12] billy2007: apt-cache search speed-dreams comes up with no candidate in 8.04.. when you so a sudo apt-get install speed-dreams you activate the install process and you won't see a .deb [05:13] when i type that i get nothing [05:13] hey everybody, I gotta lil question here... [05:13] d33d: any thoughts as to where that file is? [05:13] billy2007: that's because the package doesn't exist in the repositories. there are other games like that though like torque [05:14] billy2007: you get no answer because it found no results. "nothing" is usually a valid answer [05:14] I've setup an ext4 file system on one of my drives and now I'm trying to mount it again by doing mount /dev/sdb or mount /dev/sdb1 and I'm running into problems [05:14] shauno, i know its right because ive been trying to get it for 3 days [05:14] d33d: ok, maybe /etc/network/interfaces [05:14] datzy, sorry. let me look [05:14] datzy, unless you just found it. :P [05:14] hey guys.. sorry to be a nuisance again :p[ [05:14] Izinucs, do you know where i can ind a deb package for it [05:15] billy2007: you could try http://playdeb.net [05:15] hexdump_, wats up? === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [05:15] i'm trying to compile a game i'm working on and the compiler reports i need -lx11, can someone give me the rundown please?

[05:16] i downloaded a playdeb game repository and it says to use sudo apt-get ect. afterwards but it dosnt work [05:16] billy2007: not in /etc/fstab could I just add it? [05:16] the linker can't find -lx11, to be exact [05:16] billy2007: I had to umount the drive to format and setup ext4 [05:16] billy2007: what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:16] 10.04 [05:17] billy2007, #ubuntu+1 please [05:17] great, irssi gets updated and it just froze. :P [05:17] hexdump_, youve lost me alreay lol sorry [05:17] Xubuntu Question: I've lost my menus from xfce4-panel. I've restarted xfce4-panel, but that doesn't do it. Can anybody help?

I have a quick question. If I've installed Ubuntu on my machine, do I need to keep the "System Volume Information" directories on my NTFS-formatted drives? [05:17] mmm haven't used xfcefor a while [05:17] bazhang, no because im looking forr a game not lucid support [05:18] has anyone else been getting: fatal: bad default revision 'HEAD' using git after updates [05:18] captivus[afk]: do you still have windows installed? if so do you want to keep windows?

[05:19] Izinucs: I _do_ need to access these drives via SMB (over samba) from 2 other windows boxen. Do I need them for that? [05:19] billy2007: tuxracer? check out system>admin>synaptic package manager and switch to the games tab/selection and look though there. [05:20] Izinucs, lol i said a racing game [05:20] captivus[afk]: unless you're doing LAN based remote updates to the other windows boxes then no. [05:21] Izinucs: Thanks for the help. [05:21] billy2007: then check out the second part of the response [05:21] captivus[afk]: np [05:21] not to be off-topic, but i actually am working on a racing game :p [05:21] polimatyu: try in #xubuntu, haven't used xfce for a long time [05:22] i can't do anything on ubuntu just now though... i have the compiler responding, but that's it. i guess i'm just ruined by windows :\ [05:22] Faggots.

[05:27] aaaoooaaa: if you have grub2, it's shift, not esc [05:27] maco: ok cause i hit escape nothing happened [05:27] maco: thanks, was looking that up [05:27] thanks im gonna try it [05:28] Could any of the gurus here recommend a good book to learn the basics of linux? [05:29] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html JaredH [05:30] @ bazhang: is that ubuntu(debian) specific? [05:30] JaredH: ubuntu yes [05:30] JaredH: http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?SRT=R&WRD=ubuntu&SZE=10&SAT=11 first on [05:30] JaredH: but still a good read [05:30] *one [05:31] @IdleOne: thanks [05:32] hey uhh i hit esc/shift but the OS list thing didnt come up, instead it went ahead and loaded ubuntu [05:32] @IdleOne: Do you have any recommendations for a system administrator oriented book? [05:32] aaaoooaaa: You need to hold shift while booting. [05:32] JaredH, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:32] @IdleOne: oh ok. thanks for the help [05:32] Jordan_U: ok, right after the bios screen? [05:33] aaaoooaaa: Yes, and it shouldn't hurt to start early. [05:33] Jordan_U: alrighty man ill try it again [05:34] ok, here's a more simple question... i need -LX11, how do i know what to apt-get with sudo based on that lib name? [05:34] is there some simple thing i didn't get here? [05:35] Dr_D: What are you trying to compile? [05:35] well... just a simple hello world right now [05:36] i'll have way more dependencies later, but if can at least get it to compile this... i'll go on what i've learned and break the rest [05:36] Dr_D: A graphical hello world? Plain old hello world shouldn't require anything that doesn't come with the compiler, especially not X11. [05:36] the compiler is FreeBASIC [05:36] yeah [05:37] well... not a consol hello world, but not opengl either :p [05:38] they mentioned this in the compiler installation readme, but there aren't help/instructions for it [05:39] Hello, I'm using 10.04, I'm having a problem with one of the default panels (task bar). I have it set to autohide, I cannot get it to unhide, even after a reboot.

My netbook only gets 4 hours on a ubuntu desktop install =/ [05:43] k1rb: righ clic> properties [05:44] aaaoooaaa: No it is not. [05:44] aaaoooaaa: is in the live cd, but is not installed [05:44] crucialhoax, depends n=on yournetbook [05:44] xangua, I cannot unhide it, therefor cannot right click on it. [05:44] crucialhoax, some have diffrent power apps you can dl [05:44] Acer 532h [05:44] xangua: cool thanks I thought it was just me [05:45] could someone who is chinese please tell me how to pronounce the name Zhiqiang in english? [05:45] crucialhoax, well i dont know acer [05:45] gogeta: why does brand matter? === Purpley is now known as purp1e [05:46] crucialhoax, people make power softwhere to the brand [05:46] Sp0tter: im not chinese but based on knowing how "zh" is said at the start of the word for "china" and how the q is one of my professors' names.. jichung... however youve given no hint as the tone which will make a big difference, so.. [05:46] crucialhoax, for expanple eeepc uses one called eecontrole [05:46] maco what do you mean the tone? [05:46] gogeta: For ubuntu? I was using lesswatts.org as a guide and install powertop but not much help. [05:47] I just have this guys name, I know him.. and I feel horrible asking him hwo to pronounce his name again [05:47] i only seem him like once a month [05:47] Sp0tter maco and this is why #ubuntu is the official chinese support channel [05:47] crucialhoax: Turn off the laptop/computer when you're not using it? ;o [05:47] xangua: thank you for your service [05:47] red2kic, lol [05:47] blah [05:47] How do you think of ubuntu 10.04, guys? [05:47] !ot > jackson__ [05:47] jackson__, please see my private message [05:47] crucialhoax, 4 hrs sounds right for a acer one [05:48] red2kic: Nice suggestion lol. But if I am using it for notes in class, that does not apply. Even if I sleep, its only going to last 5 which is pitiful. [05:48] jackson__: haven't tried [05:48] crucialhoax, wifi and high brightness eats hrs [05:48] I have tried, feeling well [05:48] gogeta: Sticker says 8 when used with Win7 which sounds right. As most reviews I read are getting 8. screen is set to 20%... [05:49] gogeta, crucialhoax: That is what I did. I have lot of power strips in the house. 10% of your energy bill could be due to idling power sources (ie microwave with digital clock, stove with digital clock, shaving + toothbrush charging stations in your bathroom, etc). [05:50] red2kic: True, but I am talking a battery source. Principle still applies, but I am looking to extend usage of this laptop. [05:50] crucialhoax, they say to use powertop [05:50] gogeta: I am. Not much help. [05:50] crucialhoax: How about suspend/hibernation? [05:51] crucialhoax: You could set it to dim 5min. Any less and it'll be more of annoying than a feature IMO. [05:51] red2kic: I could, but that is not the point. Some netbooks last 12+ and even an 15in apple gets 8+ =[ Even if I got 6 to 7 [05:51] red2kic: the screen dims when idle already. [05:52] crucialhoax, powertop should be in the repos [05:52] gogeta: It is, I am already using it. It does not help much. [05:54] red2kic: It uses the ath9k wifi driver, which power top does not work with. Power settings would have to be set in iwconfig. There has to be something. [05:54] crucialhoax, turning off wifi [05:54] red2kic: Even the laptop I am using now got 3, sometimes 4 hours on a charge. Now, I am lucky to get 2. [05:54] red2kic: Windows Vista compared with Ubuntu [05:55] crucialhoax, you running 9.10 i found it had alot better power mangment then older versions [05:55] crucialhoax: The battery are built-in for apple products which eliminates the need for plastic cover on both battery and the laptop slot. Without that, the battery capacity are a little bigger. :O [05:55] gogeta: Yes. [05:56] crucialhoax, strangly i get the same 3 hrs outta my eee in xp or linux [05:56] Millimeters matters. :) [05:56] crucialhoax: You use Gnome? [05:56] 3 cell battery [05:56] red2kic: Yes, I may switch to Lubuntu. I am not sure yet. [05:57] crucialhoax, have you tryed running the netbook kernel [05:57] crucialhoax: Consider blank screen (not black screen, but power off the LCD) instead of dim screen when it comes to dim. [05:57] gogeta: See, you get 3 hours on a 3cell battery and I get 1 more hour with twice the cells. [05:57] crucialhoax, i use the netbook kernel as well fom array [05:57] gogeta: How does that kernel differ? [05:58] gogeta: `as well fom array`? [05:58] crucialhoax, as it says its talerd for netbooks [05:58] crucialhoax: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/battery/ [05:59] red2kic: The top panel in the picture almost directly resembes 10.04 [05:59] gogeta, I hve tried netbook kernel [05:59] just so so, I do think [05:59] crucialhoax: check in /sysdevices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_govenor to see if it is using powersave or... [06:00] s/sysdevices/'/sys/devices' [06:00] what favourite softwares have you installed,guys? [06:00] gottto: It is running `ondemand` and the cpu runs mostly at 1.0ghz... [06:00] k [06:01] This is depressing lol, the 15 and 17 inch models get 8 to 9 hours. [06:01] crucialhoax: htop say I have 212 process running. I wonder if I can shave processes down. [06:02] crucialhoax: Well, the Apple hardware are excellent and overpriced. Maybe you want to get one and put Ubuntu on it? ;o [06:02] Please Help : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455623 [06:02] red2kic: Just maybe. lol. Jeez.

[06:45] tonyyarusso: at the end of the man page it gives a capture example [06:45] Wilabob: After you save it, left click on network manager and choose your network. [06:46] aaaoooaaa: keeping each OS on its own seperate hard drive also makes things easier [06:46] tonyyarusso: Example --> "ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -vcodec huffyuv -sameq screencast.avi" -- You could mess/tweak around a little.

[06:48] aaaoooaaa: learning how to repair/restore grub - is a handy skill to have. [06:48] Wilabob: Shared key, since you are using WEP [06:48] Dr_Willis: well yeah and a dual boot tutorial on grub2 would be a good place to start but no one seems to know any? [06:49] aaaoooaaa: whats to know? update-grub sees/adds all the os's ive had on all 4 of my box's [06:49] !grub2 > aaaoooaaa [06:49] aaaoooaaa, please see my private message [06:49] crucialhoax: did that and it tries to connect then says I'm disconected [06:49] aaaoooaaa: unplug linux hd.. plug in windows hd.. install windows.. plug linux back in.. boot to linux.. rerun update-grub. [06:50] aaaoooaaa: but that may not work properly for a external USB hard drive.. internal's it should work [06:50] Wilabob: Then something is wrong here. DHCP, static, everything is good? [06:51] Dr_Willis: thats exactly what I tried to do but I couldnt complete the windows installation, could it be because I was trying to install it on the second partition ? [06:51] crucialhoax: I'm using DHCP [06:51] crucialhoax: Should I try static? [06:51] Wilabob: Ok, are you MAC filtering? [06:52] crucialhoax: Nope [06:52] Wilabob: If you know all of the information, yes. For DNS just use 8.8.8.8 [06:52] aaaoooaaa: if its on its own hard drive.. why have it on a second partition? Im talking about 2 actual hard drives.. not one drive partioned into several partions. XP (if i recall) does NOT want tobe on anything other then the furst primary partition on a HD. and im pretty sure it wont work from a extreranl usb hd.

[06:53] Dr_Willis: its on the second partition of the 2nd drive because its not mine and Im not allowed to mess with the data on the first partition [06:53] Wilabob: Mask is 255.255.255.0 the Gateway is the IP of your wireless router. [06:53] aaaoooaaa: then you may be out of luck. You may want to do XP inside a vurtialbox session. or ask in #windows - Ive no idea if xp can even run from a 2nd partition. [06:54] Wilabob: Make sure you hit the "Enter" key after each set of numbers, otherwise they will not save.

[07:37] xangua: I was thinking of something like rsync to windows live mesh... is that possible [07:37] I thought dropbox expaneded their sizes the other day [07:37] roark: you can pay for mose storage [07:38] xangua: sure :) [07:38] xangua: i am looking for a free option [07:40] I am waiting for a new ubuntu realese, or I should not wait and try the actual stable verstion ?

[07:46] yes and i activate it and disabled the STA [07:46] friends help me to increase the baud rate of my usb modem [07:46] who is this shuttleworth fellow and why is he making a silly change that may well ruin the best distro in linux? [07:46] subone: the --off option dosent do it? Its been aboyut a year+ sinc3e i last set it up for a friend. [07:47] smokex, well, he pays the bills.. so he can make whatever change he wants.. what change are you upset about? [07:47] !sabdfl | smokex [07:47] smokex: Mark "sabdfl" Shuttleworth is our favourite cosmonaut, the founder of Canonical and the primary driver behind Ubuntu. You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com [07:47] DarthPuff: cdemu afaik does that [07:47] lucid.. the titlebar buttons [07:47] smokex, move them.

[07:48] tonyyarusso: heh - well done :) [07:48] www, have you used Lucid... [07:48] i did.. but i want to see ubuntu to continue to be the distro that causes windows users to switch.. and this one little change will probably stop that from happening for about 70% of potential converts [07:48] hello guys,help me to change the baud rate of my usb modem [07:48] www, you wont say that if you [07:48] Dr_Willis, that is used in conjuction with --output which diables the output [07:49] yesterday I came here because my sound uaqlity was horrible i have and acer latptop connected to a hifi, people here gave a solution but that solution made both play my laptop and my hifi when its plugged I want my laptop not to play when its connected to a hifi how di i do that? [07:49] i don't think anyone can use linux . and most of folks use only the x [07:49] Dr_Willis, i dont want it disabled just pu ton standby [07:49] smokex, well, it's not like they said "Here it is, deal w/ it".. it takes 2 seconds to change back to the old way [07:49] i think you're over-reacting [07:49] ranjan: i think ubuntu is betray the spiritual of unix(linux) [07:49] www, how?? [07:50] subone: Hmm.. not sure how that differs :) if my monitor goes into standby it basically turns off. [07:50] www, ranjan: keep it on-topic, please [07:50] ranjan : if ubuntu continues to concentrate it on the x , i w'll abandon it [07:50] well in lieu of being able to turn off my monitors individuallly, how do i make a black image fullscreen on one monitor? i tried eye of gnome but theres a toolbar [07:50] and totally turn to debian [07:50] subone, what video device do you use? [07:51] Dr_Willis, --output is used to configure the screens, disabling the output with --off would only disable it in my xorg i think [07:51] When I try and enable jumbo frames on my gigabit nic I'm getting the following SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument [07:51] subone: i recall using some info at this following page. to turn on/off my friends 2nd monitor on his laptop - so he could play some games. --? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2#First_discover_what_we_have [07:51] www, what do you mean the "x"....after all its for newbies and not geeks.

[07:55] hello, the is a instruction for samba to list all samba-servers in the local net. cold somebody tell me how this instruction is called? [07:55] mcl0vin_: connect to the Internet using ethernet and install the "bcmwl-kernel-source" and "b43-fwcutter" packages. For example, you could do this with "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source b43-fwcutter" in the terminal. It'll ask you whether to install firmware, tell it yes. Once that's done, restart and it should work. [07:55] www, so you watch movies too in command line...is it?? [07:55] subone: try the --on option? :) i seem to recall gnome getting confiused at times when monitors get added/removed [07:55] adante, nope.. [07:55] CLI is the first step and a border to you real linux-kernel [07:56] ranjan : ok , we will not discuss this matter , that linux is only the kernel not the distro [07:56] Is it just me or is ubuntu one slow when compared to DropBox [07:56] Dr_Willis, no think i got it back on [07:56] Dr_Willis: ouch. it is our shared backup for important stuff. Guess I'll find another solution. thx! [07:56] www, actually you know the things but again your are talking mistakes.. [07:56] quietone: i would back up the backup.. or let windows mount it READ ONLY.

I've never had a setup like that. === mnepton is now known as mneptok [08:08] Im sorry its my third day on ubuntu and I havent seen anywhere alsamixer setting [08:08] If you go into a terminal, and just type alsamixer [08:08] ok [08:09] you'll have all of your sound settings in there, and then when you're finished, just hit escape. === trey_ is now known as thadoctrey [08:12] i know this isnt the room for ubuntu 10.04 but I cant seem to get any answers from them so I will try here. I keep getting an error saying that I am not the owner so I have no permissions to change stuff in directories [08:12] thadoctrey, well... thats a self explanatory problem. [08:12] thadoctrey, then change ownership [08:12] chmod and chown will be your friend [08:12] how do you figure I just installed this on my system today I am the only user [08:13] hey guys im looking to install virtualbox but i see many option in synaptic [08:13] which should i install [08:13] thadoctrey: clarify what you ar trying to do exactly. and you may need to learn how linux handles permissions. [08:13] thadoctrey, what do you want to change? (where?) [08:13] aaaoooaaa: i ilways install the ones from the virtualbox homepage. it has a few more features. [08:13] !vbox | aaaoooaaa [08:13] aaaoooaaa: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [08:14] well I am trying to change permissions on things so they are executable, as well as add things to directories, but I cannot because it says I am not the owner [08:14] aaaoooaaa: the ose version dosent support usb devices.. and a few other limits i recall [08:14] thadoctrey: what things exactly and where. [08:14] thadoctrey, what directories are you trying to add to, and why? [08:14] thadoctrey: if you are a single user. You should be installing theme files to your users home dir. theres no need to install them to system dirs. [08:15] Dr_Willis: I cant really because Im in australia and were in the stonehenge as far as internet access goes and connecting to the vbox website would cost me an arm as far as my internet quota goes; the official repository that is mirrored on aarnet though is free [08:15] well not connecting to it [08:15] yeah and like I said I cannot do that because I dont have the permissions that is what it keeps saying [08:15] but downloading 44 megs [08:15] aaaoooaaa: install the ose version i guess thats cached. [08:15] hi all [08:16] thadoctrey: so far you havent really given a lot of details as to what exactly you are doing. "you are installing what.. installing it where? what error message are you getting...' [08:16] as long as you don't need USB support, the OSE version of v-box si fine [08:17] lies, go to virtualbox's website and get the .deb package [08:17] lol [08:17] why do email clients show imap folders separate to local folders [08:17] thx TomG [08:17] yes, the "non-free" version has USB.. but to my knowledge(unless its changed recentl) the OSE version has not had USB for a while. [08:17] I am simply trying to install a theme like it says to by adding the folder to the /usr/shared/themes directory and it will not let me [08:17] jibadeeha: because remote folders are remote and local folders are not. [08:17] That worked for you? [08:17] thadoctrey, i've told you 3x how to install that theme. [08:18] sash_, i wish there was a way to turn local folders off :( [08:18] and I have tried that 3k times and it doesnt work therefor I am doing it the way it says to [08:18] thadoctrey, what theme did you try to install? [08:18] jibadeeha: not even the newest thunderbird does this. [08:18] it seems that ubuntu has inside already this rt2870 ralink driver. atleast i have rt2870 module installed in my ubuntu, but i want to know where i can find the config.mk file because find / -iname "config.mk" 2>/dev/null didnt do the trick [08:18] does wine need jack for audio? [08:19] mesmerized, metacity, gtk 1.x and gtk 2.x several themes [08:19] sash_, at first i thought it was Evolution, but yeah just tried thunderbird 3 and it has the same behaviour ... there must be a logical reason for doing that [08:19] wine can just use alsa/ pulseaudio [08:19] alright [08:19] :) [08:20] ubuntunisti, config.mk available when you are building the driver from sources [08:20] sash_, i was going to move gmail with IMAP, but think i will stick to yahoo with pop [08:20] http://pastebin.org/154491 [08:20] ^ not getting me jumbo frame support though [08:20] ok how i can "delete" this driver...so i can compile it again..because i want to see is N turned on [08:20] jibadeeha: wouldnt do that [08:20] sash_, wouldn't do what? [08:21] stick to yahoo with gmail [08:21] -.- [08:21] stick to yahoo with pop [08:21] backing up thunderbird is easy just store the profile folder in ubuntuone [08:21] sash_, you think i should move to gmail and use imap [08:21] Alright, maybe I can get some help here. It's pretty specific. I want to find out where my drive is writing to every five seconds so I can reduce my drive IO and spin down my drive.

[08:22] so i just use modprobe to erase that rt2870 module from list? and then i compile a new one?

[08:55] my ubuntu is does not recognize the sound card.. [08:55] my sound card [08:55] Sk_Lg, you should have installed windows first [08:56] hi every one,i would like to ask one question which may appear strange or silly!!! [08:56] sk_lg: ntfs and the windows install needs to physically be at the beginning of the drive [08:56] i managed to do it [08:56] thx [08:56] i currently installed ubuntu 9.10 on my new HP box through WUBI, [08:56] now the thing is that in my nautilus i dont see the partition in which i installed the ubuntu!!! now in my nautilus i dont see the partition in which i installed the ubuntu!!!during this i installed AWN DOCK,in that a FILE MANAGER shortcut is given,i installed that,in that i see my partition,now what to do??? [08:56] iPunk: go to System - Preferences and open it, go to general options and then to desktop size, change the Horizontal value to what you want [08:56] so should I just overwrite the main drive and reinstall ubuntu to a different drive? [08:56] also, you will need to fix grub after you get vista installed [08:57] Hi all [08:57] so what can i do? [08:57] what will I have to change to grub after installing vista? [08:57] vista/7 overwrites the master boot record, overwriting grub and there is no option not to do it [08:57] Sk_Lg: re install grub ? [08:58] so, install windows, then go through and reinstall ubuntu? [08:58] no [08:58] install windows [08:58] yea there is a bootable cd out there that can be used to restore grub to the mbr after the vista installation [08:58] Тут кто по русски говорит ? =) [08:58] then boot from live cd and reinstall grub [08:58] !ru | Super_Dude [08:58] Super_Dude: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:59] my problem is installing it, it doesn't recognize any of the drives as "meeting the requirements for installation" [08:59] so I want to partition such that I can install [08:59] э [09:00] and here's a guide on how to do it from within windows without a boot cd: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 [09:00] 谁说句话阿 [09:00] !cn | dongdong [09:00] dongdong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:00] !cn | dongdon [09:00] dongdon: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:00] hi every one,i would like to ask one question which may appear strange or silly!!!

[09:05] OK, so what exactly is the problem? [09:05] but the thing is AWN file manager is able to read my "R:" partition [09:05] yes cdocbo.. i have been upgrading betas ofr the last couple of weeks [09:06] 测试中文 [09:06] What am I doing wrong? I am trying to use scp as suggested but it is throwing back at me "No such file or directory" - the files I want have spaces in the file names, but I have used "\ " to escape each space, but each word in the file name is coming up as a separate "no such file" error.... [09:07] BlackDalek: use "....." [09:07] Suppose I install ubuntu 10.04 beta ...will it be upgraded when stable version is released [09:07] what is awn file manager? [09:08] it's a launch pad [09:08] app [09:08] what is "....."? [09:08] just like MAC os [09:08] roark: yes it will be upgraded [09:08] The dock, what do you mean it reads your R partition? [09:08] ttk1opc: awn is a Dock [09:08] darolu: should i do that using upgrade manager...or it gets automat/gically? [09:09] roark: it won't upgrade to the final version without your consent, when you run the updates manager it will tell you the final version is available [09:09] ttk1opc: yes in awn it as a SHORTCUT, to file manager,in that it shows my partition(partition lable is R:) [09:09] darolu: oh ok ... even for the beta i had to do Alt+f2 ... i did not show up in the default upgrade manager... [09:10] what is "....."? [09:10] What am I doing wrong? I am trying to use scp as suggested but it is throwing back at me "No such file or directory" - the files I want have spaces in the file names, but I have used "\ " to escape each space, but each word in the file name is coming up as a separate "no such file" error.... And what is "....."? [09:10] darolu: should i do the same thing to get teh final stable release.... [09:10] darolu: or will it be showed in the upgrade manager... [09:11] perhaps he means use quotes around the filename.... [09:11] roark: it should show up in the update-mannager (the final version that is) [09:11] darolu: ok thanks [09:11] rathin2j: So when you open from AWN you see it, when you open nautilus any other way you do not? [09:12] darolu: did you try 10 04 ... [09:12] ttk1opc: yes correct [09:12] ttk1opc: u r exact [09:12] roark: I have it installed in a virtual machine, it doesn't show up when a beta comes out as it would show up in all 9.10's and 8.04's installations [09:13] Dr_Willis: hey so got vbox running, added a virtual machine and when i hit start i get an error :VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED [09:13] do i have to do something special when i want to terminal into another Ubuntu box? i have my laptop that runs Ubuntu and want to terminal into my desktop that is running ubuntu and would love some help [09:13] aaaoooaaa: check the vbirtualbox docs/manual at the vbox homepage. That message means nothing to me. Unless thers some VMX setting in the vbox settings you need to twiddle with [09:14] what does the return generate (in ASCII) and / or how can i replace all the line breaks with a space? [09:14] g0aliath: you want to access your desktop from your laptop? [09:14] ttk1opc: if u wish i can send u screenshots!!?? [09:14] yes [09:14] g0aliath: use openssh [09:14] and that is from the terminal? [09:15] g0aliath: r u telling to me? [09:15] g0aliath: yes, it is all command line [09:15] !ssh | g0aliath [09:15] g0aliath: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [09:15] aaaoooaaa: for the vbox settings check under the system are - the acelleration and processor tabs.. perhaps. [09:15] sure [09:15] ahh, i see. cool thank you [09:16] g0aliath: the 'ssh filesystem' tool comes in handy at times. it can mount over ssh a remote machine. so it appears as a local directory [09:16] Dr_Willis: yup i changed # pocessors to 1 and it worked [09:16] Dr_Willis: thanks alot [09:16] fantastic [09:16] thank you so much [09:16] witam [09:17] jest ktoś z polski? [09:17] okay people, i'm trying to copy several files, which are listed one per line, using the cp command, but seems like when the line is over, gnome-terminal interprets that as a return or "enter", so it tries to run the current line [09:17] ttk1opc: u can start transfer [09:17] Beyecixramd: listed where? In a file you mean? [09:17] hello [09:17] yup, Dr_Willis [09:18] Beyecixramd: so whats the exact commabnd line you are tryng to use? [09:18] ttk1opc: sure [09:18] hi there..can anyone pls help me out here..? [09:18] !ask [09:18] 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. :-) [09:18] cp (list here) (destination here) [09:18] sorry ubottu..newbie here [09:18] Beyecixramd: and where didyou get the idea that cp would take a 'list' of files in a file like that? [09:18] Beyecixramd, you need to use either awk and pipe it to xargs or sed and pipe it to xargs [09:18] redvil: ubottu is a bot ;) [09:19] xargs - thats a good use for it :) [09:19] oh..like i said..newbie here..;) [09:19] Beyecixramd: you could take that list and load it into an editor and cut/paste and make a script out of it also... [09:19] Beyecixramd, so you'd do something like : cat your-file-of-uber-links.txt | awk lol-pattern | xargs blah === sp_ is now known as sp [09:20] Dr_Willis: oh no, no no no, what i did was, copying the list (control+C) from Gedit, and when trying to paste it, gnome terminal, as i told you, interpreted the line breaks as "run command" or "enter" [09:20] Beyecixramd: do you have spaces in any of the filenames? [09:20] Beyecixramd, it wont work that way. each new line is interpreted as pressing enter. [09:20] anyway...can anyone tell me how to takeout the kubuntu desktop from ubuntu [09:20] Dr_Willis: probably not, but not sure [09:21] redvil: "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" should work; GUI way is to go to System - Admin - Synaptic and look for it [09:21] airtonix: that's why i want to replace all "enters" with "space" [09:21] Beyecixramd: may be easiest to turn the list into a shell script then. [09:21] thnx darolu..will try it now.. [09:21] hmm... how would i do that? [09:21] Beyecixramd: use the editor and join all the lines into one long line.. [09:21] Beyecixramd: but bash has a limit on the # you can use in one command. [09:21] pff... there are more than 150 lines [09:21] does the mac os have to be at the beginning of the harddrive? [09:22] Beyecixramd: for a script? each line.. begin with 'cp YOURSTUFFHERE /whatever else' [09:22] Beyecixramd, i would leave your links in the file and use awk and xargs to operate on them [09:22] Beyecixramd, http://www.pement.org/awk/awk1line.txt [09:22] Beyecixramd: just 150? so? :) [09:22] nope sk_lg [09:22] Dr_Willis: 150 times that? it's crazy, there must be aquicker way [09:22] osx and bsd variants do not need to be at the beginning of the drive [09:22] smokex: alright, going to install windows [09:23] Beyecixramd: youve given no details.. but making a script from that file that copies all 150 files to a set location.. would take be aboiut 20 sec in geany, or vi.. [09:23] its done now...thanx again @darolu [09:23] links, airtonix? what im trying to copy are real files, contained in a txt file, one per line [09:23] macro keys, and search/replace is handy [09:23] redvil: no problem [09:23] Beyecixramd, yep, can you pastebin this text file of links ? i could show you a awk command to do what you want [09:23] oh Dr_Willis, sorry, but i can't yet use vim at that level [09:24] Beyecixramd: theres geany. [09:24] * darolu loves geany [09:24] is it graphical? or pseudo graphical? (eg: nano) [09:24] Beyecixramd, does each line look like : file:///place/place/file.txt ? [09:24] no, wait, ill pastebin the file for you, airtonix [09:24] Beyecixramd, geany is a gtk ide [09:24] nano is graphical - in only the most primitive use of the term. :) [09:25] Beyecixramd: geany is 'graphical' [09:25] Anyone here with lots of patience want to help a retard with getting his internet to work on Ubuntu? [09:25] airtonix: http://fpaste.org/9bA5/ [09:25] Dr_Willis: i wouldn't call it "graphical" at least not at all, but well xD [09:26] scc-faust: wifi? [09:26] yes [09:26] Beyecixramd: you do have spaces in the path/filenames [09:26] Beyecixramd, i notice alot of those files are in their own folders... you want all those files to end up in one target folder ? [09:26] how to check wi\hich version of ubuntu im using? [09:26] Beyecixramd: your file is very well organized, doing what Dr_Willis is telling you to do should be easy and take you like 12,5 secs [09:26] madwifi drivers are a big help [09:27] ipunk: system>about ubuntu [09:27] airtonix: yep, EVERY file on the same folder, without conservating the original tree of each filename [09:27] or just use the mc file manager.. :) [09:27] Oh you DONT want the 'directory structure' [09:27] exactly, Dr_Willis [09:27] thx [09:27] yw [09:27] i Dident see you mention that part. :) [09:27] what time of day do cron jobs in /etc/cron.daily get run...? [09:28] sorry about that, Dr_Willis xD [09:28] Beyecixramd, first thing i would try is the search feature of nautilus on : /home/beyecixramd/Descargas/JD/ and just search for *.mp3 then highlight all and copy to your target folder/ [09:29] Beyecixramd: You Might want to clean up all the names some day also.. having things like _-_ is ratehr.. ugly :) [09:29] wow i'm so stupid :| didn't thought about that, airtonix, i used the gnome search tool [09:29] Dr_Willis: raw, from the internets, no can do xD [09:29] Dr_Willis: but sure, i'll fix them some day according th their id3 tags [09:29] Beyecixramd, you might also like the 'saved search folder' feature of nautilus too. after doing a search save the search from the file menu [09:30] I cant even get geany to go wide enogh to show the whole lines. :) [09:30] airtonix: i saved the search, but not from nautilus, from the gnome search tool, it gave me this file [09:30] Dr_Willis: maybe with 2560x1080? :D [09:31] Beyecixramd: i got two monitors.. it wont go across both of them [09:31] Beyecixramd, im not sure if its the same thing. but is that list of mp3s just all your mp3s in the /home/beyecixramd/Descargas/JD/ folder ? [09:31] just like me :| wtf [09:31] :o [09:31] Beyecixramd, i mean how did you generate that list of files ? [09:31] yep, airtonix, someone told me to cp /home/beyecixramd/Descargas/JD/*.mp3, which didn't work [09:32] Beyecixramd: you could similfy the work by doing the commands from the /home/beyecixramd/Descargas/JD/ dir also. [09:32] and use relative paths [09:32] i would like to know if there is a way to do a whois ip from my ubuntu without firefox ? [09:32] Hi [09:32] with the gnome search tool, right clicking and selecting "save search" airtonix [09:32] Need some help with migrating to raid1 [09:32] Beyecixramd, use nautilus instead [09:32] I copied all the files across but it won't boot [09:32] Dr_Willis: not a great deal, that would only remove part of the filenames [09:32] Beyecixramd, try this : find -iname "" -exec cp {} \; [09:33] keeps mounting /dev/sd... instead of md [09:33] any suggestions? [09:33] i've booted the live cd and mounted all the mds onto /mnt [09:33] airtonix: remember: gnome-terminal interprets new lines as "enters" [09:33] is there a way to do a who is ip from the terminal in ubuntu [09:33] ? [09:34] heya smealio [09:34] Beyecixramd, from the terminal try this : find /home/beyecixramd/Descargas/JD -iname ".mp3" -exec cp {} /home/NewMusic/ \; [09:34] killaz_: i remember whatismyip.com had a way to output the ip in a txt file [09:34] Beyecixramd, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/copy-files-from-multiple-directories-into-one-directory-162396/ [09:34] Beyecixramd: part 1 done --> http://fpaste.org/r2aR/ [09:34] wb sk_lg [09:34] killaz_: so it would be cat http://whatismyip.com/file.txt [09:35] Geany has a 'vertical block' cut/paste feature that comes in VERY handy in doing some tasks like this [09:35] its just i have a lot of ip to do so i woul like to know if there is a way to do like all of them in a list [09:35] ? [09:36] doh.. i frogot the cp at the front of each line. :) [09:36] Dr_Willis, Beyecixramd i dont even think it needs to be this complicated... you shouldn't even need to be editing a text file to begin with/ [09:36] thanks Dr_Willis [09:36] airtonix: i thought that for the first time [09:36] airtonix: given the spaces in teh filenames.. and other huge paths.. its going tobe a fancy command line. I can Understand a script :) [09:36] smokex: =)ty *sigh*windows is being fussy, it doesn't like any of the drives do I have to format the primary, so it halts the installation process. any suggestions? I might just format the main then work from there [09:36] btw, airtonix, it tells me "-exec argument missing" [09:36] get "parted magic" [09:37] you can use that to do your formatting [09:37] ha, I though you were being funny = P [09:37] Has anybody else had problems installing mstt corefonts packet ? [09:37] it also includes the grub fixing utilities [09:37] furythor: what ubuntu version? [09:38] 9.10 [09:38] weird... [09:38] and I get error code 1 [09:38] nah the people that used to own partition magic started and open source project after symatec baught their program [09:38] airtonix: but anyway, ill try to copy within nautilus, as you told me [09:39] what version should I get? http://partedmagic.com/download.html [09:39] Sk_Lg: latest? [09:40] what byecix said :P [09:40] like parted magic pxe, grub4dos, or from a usb? [09:41] hi i would like to know if this is safe to hack on wargames website ? [09:41] pxe [09:41] anybody know how to either RUN AS ROOT or execute a .run file in the terminal so i can use sudo or SU [09:41] smokex: try to type only the first letters of the nick and press it works! :) [09:41] version 9.10 [09:41] Dr_Willis, find doesnt care if it has spaces in the file name. [09:41] killaz, if you have to ask, you won't be safe [09:41] airtonix: how about dashes? I dident even check for other characters like ' and " [09:42] lol im not stupid im asking on a guredic level ? [09:42] not on the technical aspect [09:42] Dr_Willis, i just tried it on a folder full of file names with all kinds [09:42] it worked, as expected, the nautilus thing, airtonix [09:42] i know about my osi model and ... [09:42] oh.. yea sure go for it :P [09:42] anybody? [09:42] Hi TyanColte, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage [09:43] is there nobody who knows their raid stuff? [09:43] by the way, how can i "emualte" the library feature of Win7? synlinks would do the trick? [09:43] symlinks* [09:43] Beyecixramd, yep best to keep it simple [09:43] unless you want to use a flash drive sk_lg... you got a flash drive? [09:43] (btw, im a linux-only user since 2009) [09:43] sorry to hear that [09:43] yea, that has linux on it [09:44] ubuntu [09:44] zeroseven0183: that didn't help, i already knew how to do that, it says i need SU to make it work and i can't get the RUN AS to work anymore like i could in previous versions [09:44] airtonix: the save search feature of nautilus would make a directory with symlinks or what? [09:44] Beyecixramd, as far as i know the library function onf windows is very similar to DAAP shares in how it operates...

[09:45] both [09:46] i mean, airtonix, i'm the only one who uses the machine [09:46] but sometimes, i let guests, and my family check mail from this computer (each person has their own user account / they use the guest account) [09:46] could I run ubuntu on the flash drive, unmount the front of the primary, move/resize/andor delete, then install windows accordingly smokex [09:47] yes [09:47] Beyecixramd, same here, i just put all my music in ~/Audio/Music all my pictures in ~/Pictures , all my movies in ~/Videos/Movies [09:47] Dr_Willis, Beyecixramd here is that test i did : http://pastebin.com/tEK17xYP [09:47] brb i hope [09:47] with parted [09:47] airtonix: bagh! you need 'My Movies' and 'My Muzak' to make it make more sence :) [09:47] Hello, I need some help with my touchpad.

[09:50] wow airtonix, the save search feature of nautilus works quite like the library feature of Win7... i guess where did inspiration came this time :) (and all times, like plymouth and the animated boot on Win7) [09:50] yup airtonix [09:50] Beyecixramd, win7 is not the first OS to have animated boot screens... i think e17 is [09:50] AFK === darmou_ is now known as darmou [09:51] i know airtonix, but e17 is a DE, not an OS [09:51] airtonix: from what i know was Fedora in its 10 version [09:51] Beyecixramd, true. but camels and straws.

[11:21] ubuntu manual project [11:21] daniel__: totally depends on your needs. I find the Kubuntu netbook mix nicer in ways.. but the Ubntu netbook is easier to use. [11:22] daniel__: lubuntu netbook - i find useless. [11:22] Can there be any portable application for Ubuntu? [11:22] isn't there that plazma os? [11:22] server is having issues jfoozie420 may be its getting updated [11:22] rocket16: clarify what you mean.

(its the same book) [11:23] Dr_Willis: I meant, like in Windows, you can have Portable Office, Portable Games (.exe files only), to be run in a pen-drive, can there be anything in Ubuntu? [11:23] <[Screamo]> Dr_Willis you know if they changed the theming system in 10.4? [11:23] rocket16: if the app is written properly it can run from a stand alone dir.

[11:23] nathan_: i'm flying by the seat of my pants. i've no idea what i'm doing. i think it might be working though [11:24] They changed the theme, anyway you can still change it on your own, in some click ;-) [11:24] and it does not configur automatically [11:25] <[Screamo]> No im talking about like the whole theming system, like if i want to download one, its not easy to find one that is complete [11:25] how can i configur the wacom tablet?

[11:27] <[Screamo]> like not having to download 6 or 7 different parts just to completly change the whole look [11:27] ?? [11:27] hi everybody [11:27] [Screamo]: i perfer to be able to mix and match. Check out gstyle, and the bisigi (sp?) theme repository it has like a dozen nice themes [11:28] https://launchpad.net/~bisigi/+archive/ppa [11:28] anyone can resolve this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033503 [11:28] theres also the gnome-art tool.

[11:31] <[Screamo]> i wanted to asign a hotkey for it, and i tried "terminal" but that didnt work [11:31] actually theres a x-default-terminal i think [11:31] <[Screamo]> bottomline i wish my keyboard had more hotkeys :/ === Killed is now known as Vampires [11:32] x-terminal-emulator = the 'system' default terminal - whatver thats set to be [11:32] [Screamo]: check out gnome-do perhaps? === RaMcHiP is now known as RaMcHiP-Away [11:33] I want to install a package at location other than /usr.

Unfortunately I don't know anything about Elantech touchpads, but perhaps if you google 'ubuntu elantech touchpad' you might find some more detailed info [12:10] MrCraig: try setting the jacksense switch [12:10] thanks histo, googling [12:10] <^b0ss^> its from the package software [12:10] bloopletech: probably uses synaptics driver [12:10] <^b0ss^> from ubuntu [12:10] bloopletech: ahh nvm it may not [12:10] <^b0ss^> didnt think it would be buggy [12:11] ANYONE: i installed tor but when i run it i can't get onto any webpage. Ideas? [12:11] ^b0ss^: The urls has probably changed, without the package maintainer(s) being alerted about it. [12:11] ey is it just me or are the servers im downloading from software sources slow? [12:11] <^b0ss^> oh ok is there other places to download it [12:11] <^b0ss^> that would be up to date === antonio_ is now known as baraka [12:12] how can I partition a drive, or format a hard drive in command prompt? [12:12] mythril, with my synaptics touchpad you can configure a lot of the speeds etc. including relating to edge scrolling AFAIK [12:12] >< === baraka is now known as kabal [12:12] ANYONE available to help with "tor" configuration? [12:12] Sk_Lg, does it have to be a terminal solution? [12:13] rosco_: ive seen/folowed some of the TOR ubuntu wiki pages.. but thas been 9+Mo ago. [12:13] Sk_Lg: partition - use fdisk, or cfdisk, format use 'mkfs' commands [12:13] bloopletech: my solution to most of my problems so far has been to manually set variables using synclient, which works, even though I guess this hardware isn't actually a synaptic piece [12:13] mythril, Ah ok then [12:13] bloopletech, there is only the startup disk and dos atm, and my drive has 3 partitions [12:13] <^b0ss^> is there alt sites to download wine is the software package in ubuntu has dead linkls ?/ [12:14] bloopletech: because the touchpad configuration programs suck in this release [12:14] rosco_: i would guess that you dident confgure everything properly. missed the proxy setting for the browser. or for the proxy server [12:14] Dr_Willis: it is installed but it won't let me bring up any web pages. i've disabled firewall and enabled it with TCP ports 80 & 443 [12:14] mythril, well then have another look at the synclient man page - and note that gnome 2.28 (which ships with karmic) prevents HAL from setting the touchpad settings properly, if you use a hal policy file [12:14] rosco_: theres more to it then just 'installing' tor. You have to set up that proxy and edit its configs to work with tor. then configure the browser to also use the proxy. [12:14] Sk_Lg so are you running an ubuntu unstall right now? [12:15] Dr_Willis: i thought of that, even though i don't understand it. i read through directions and no mention of proxy [12:15] mythril, you can tell gnome not to override your settings though === blueghost is now known as No24Day [12:15] bloopletech: yeah, I know I did some stuff to override that, this is a personal machine so the security problems don't bother me :) [12:15] rosco_: i would check them again. Unless its changed radically in the last few months you had touse a proxy server also. [12:15] when i enable tor, the browser stops working. i disable it and then it works [12:15] bloopletech: err, no I mean I enabled SHMConfig [12:16] bloopletech: installed ubuntu as a windows partition, then reinstalled ubuntu after formating the windows, now installing windows so I can dual boot [12:16] rosco_: just googling for giiodes --> http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#polipo [12:16] rosco_: they mention a caching web proxy right at the start... [12:17] i mis spoke. enabling it puts it through a proxy. [12:17] mythril, Yeah I did that too, but when I needed to set settings and have them saved, I needed to create a hal policy file with the setting sand then follow option 3 here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome_2.28_Changes#Synaptics_Touchpad [12:17] Sk_Lg, then try gparted under ubuntu [12:17] !info polipo [12:17] polipo (source: polipo): a small, caching web proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.4-1.1ubuntu0.1 (karmic), package size 180 kB, installed size 764 kB [12:17] heh, my solution to that was a little less legit, I was going to put the commands into my bashrc, ty [12:17] mythril, That allowed me to customise settings not exposed in the gui touchppad config tools [12:17] hi [12:17] when I install ubuntu from a .iso flash drive, how do I prep so I can dual boot? [12:17] rosco_: in the past people used Privoxy + tor.. now it seems Polipo + Tor is the fave. [12:18] Sk_Lg: You normally want to isntall windows first. leave part of the HD unallocated for the linux installe rto use later. [12:18] how do i know polipo is turned on, Dr_ [12:18] Dr_Willis: ^ [12:18] rosco_: then i would have to say you missed the step about configrung it. [12:18] !install | Sk_Lg [12:18] Sk_Lg: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:18] hi all [12:19] rosco_: how did you install the TOR packge anyway? its not in the default repos. [12:19] terminal [12:19] Dr_Willis: ^ [12:19] rosco_: that tells me very little... [12:19] followed directions exactly. i've read them and re-read them. it is easy [12:20] i have partition image made by partimage but i haven't backup of partition table. is possible to recovery image? [12:20] rosco_: what directions? you proberly missed a step - is about all i can suggest. [12:21] the one thing that wasn't in directions, nathan_ posted. it was ~45 min ago [12:21] and that was to configure polipo [12:21] rooms [12:22] https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork [12:22] ubuntu: you have to set up the partitions manually before you restore the image [12:22] i was just on there Dr_Willis [12:23] stefg, but how? [12:23] ubuntu: gparted, fdisk. cfdisk .... [12:23] hi [12:24] is sourceforge.net down ? [12:24] ubuntu: you need to make them the same size as they were before [12:24] stefg information about free and used disk space is enough? [12:24] good day al [12:24] all [12:24] mm too early to spell correctly I think :) [12:24] now I seem to get online [12:24] ubuntu: yes, if you sum them up you have the total size (in blocks). [12:25] I like palimpsest ... if that's any difference from what is already mentioned === traveller_ is now known as traveller [12:25] stefg, and gparted is good enough to do that? [12:26] gonna reinstall ubuntu, because I suspect something was broken down during install [12:26] is there a guide somewhere for adding a fluxbox desktop to a ubuntu server? [12:27] greenie: install the X server and install fluxbox. [12:27] i want to avoid the gnome but i need x of course... [12:27] stefg, i haven't information about blocks, i have only info about size [12:27] ubuntu: yes. even if you waste a few MB by making the partitions slightly bigger. partimgae can restore to equally sized or bigger partitions (although the _file system_ will not fill the partition then), but not zo smaller partitions [12:27] ok does it need gdm? [12:27] greenie: you dont need a 'dm' at all.. you could just 'startx' [12:28] cool [12:28] thanks [12:28] greenie: or use xdm [12:28] thanks Dr [12:28] ubuntu: you can restore to a bigger partition and use file-system resizing later to use all of the partition [12:29] stefg, i have recovered partition on larger partition but whats strange it is 47 GB, orignal partition wasn't bigger than 10GB. now used space is over 30GB... [12:29] ubuntu: run fsck on that [12:30] stefg, could you give me example command for fsck? [12:31] hi [12:31] ubuntu: you need to unmout the partition first, then run something like 'sudo fsck /dev/sda1' [12:31] <^b0ss^> never unmount [12:31] <^b0ss^> lol [12:31] !ask nishant === Der_Baer is now known as Der_Baer_ [12:31] You dont fsck a mounted filesystem.

[12:33] Ubuntu is a desktop and laptop type of OS rather than a server OS, am I correct?

I have some work at the moment. do you plan to stay here for longer moment?

[12:39] costre: oh ok, thanks....does the desktop version of ubuntu have FTP server as well as some basic shells like ksh, bash, etc. ?

I though use apt-cache for not downloading files two times. I'm thinking that maybe sharing a directory with NFS and a very little script can do the same. What do you think? [12:49] stefg: a reinstall's not an option [12:49] this is a server machine [12:49] ph8 it would be a good idea to wait until lucid is released, but in general you don't need to reinstall to upgrade [12:49] jrib: there are howtos for 8.10 and olders, and i cannot find madwifi in synaptic [12:49] indeed bloopletech [12:49] i've had fine experiences of upgrading it on my in house servers [12:50] but they were all karmic to lucid [12:50] i have a hardy box in a datacentre [12:50] in general you need to upgrate 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 [12:50] yeh that's what i thought [12:50] ph8: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:50] was wondering if there was an LTS -> LTS jump [12:50] then 9.10 -> 10.04 [12:50] ph8: theoretically LTS-to-LTS upgrades are supported, but i won't trust it. And you get a lot of cruft by going through dist-upgrades [12:50] ph8, not AFAIK but I don't know for sure [12:50] ph8: there is LTS-LTS [12:50] that is supported [12:50] so do you think i should lts to lts or go through intrepid, jaunty, karmic [12:51] ph8: also remember that with LTS releases it disables dist-upgrade by default [12:51] bloopletech: it is impossible tu upgrade from LTS to LTS? very strange imo... [12:51] BlessJah, I don't know... I only have experience from going from hardy to karmic [12:51] not from LTS-LTS [12:51] ph8: depends on you and how confident you are in your backups. Just in case the the upgrade fails for some odd reason [12:51] ph8: LTS-to-LTS. === mike is now known as Guest50150 [12:52] hi [12:53] Can anyone help me with an issue I'm having regarding my Audio?

[13:13] tarelerulz, perhaps try mplayer [13:13] acovrig: mount /dev/whatever /media/makeadir [13:13] tarelerulz, it may include support for that codec [13:13] isn't the host name supposed to be the thing after the @ sign, in that case, wouldn't it be sufficient to edit /etc/hostname? [13:13] bloopletech: also, what if I decide to take ubuntu off the machine, is there an easy way to clean out that grub bootloader? [13:14] cub: Not sure [13:14] JSund: you can set the prompt in 100000+ different ways. [13:14] Dr_Willis, that works, thanks [13:14] Dr_Willis? [13:14] JSund: thats not what he really asked.. unless he was unclear [13:14] cub: if you restart windows in recovery mode I think you can run fdisk /fixmbr which will remove it [13:14] cub: reinstall the windows loader. [13:14] Dr_Willis: yeah, but I'm guessing that someone who asks that question would probably be using the default configuration, but I don't know [13:15] The Bash prompt howto - is a lot of fun anyway :) [13:15] I have try realplayer helix, totem , smplayer -mplayer , xbmc and nothing seem to play that format . I hate Google for picking some crazy format [13:15] how do i download a package without installing it? [13:15] Dr_Willis: do you think vmware would make it cleaner for the two OS'es to co-exist? [13:15] cub: i perfer virtualbox. [13:16] cub: using vbox/vmware can have other benifits - depending on what you are doing. [13:16] richard123, paste line 54 [13:16] cub: ie: easy to restore to a set point, easy to install/setup to a dozen+ machines.. and so forth [13:16] richard123, or paste what cat /etc/apt/sources.list gives you [13:16] cub: so it all depends on your needs [13:16] Dr_Willis: you mean this one http://www.virtualbox.org/ ? [13:17] tarelerulz, how did you install mplayer? [13:17] Does rsync need a running rsync server? Or is ssh enough? [13:17] Matisse: no it doesn't need a rsync server [13:17] acovrig: sudo apt-get -d package [13:17] cub: i havent used vmware in years.. I use virtualbox now a days [13:18] For thosw wanting to play with fancy bash prompts --> http://www.nanolx.org/newsnanolx/item/48-bashstyle-ng [13:18] a bash prompt generator tool :) [13:18] Matisse: please look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/416112/ [13:18] cub: yes, that's the virtualbox Dr_Willis is referring to [13:19] Dr_Willis: so the basic concept for virtualbox is, virtualbox runs on Windows XP as an installed application, then Ubuntu runs inside of virtualbox? [13:19] I have 2 ubuntus 1 with, 1 without internet, how do I usb a backage to comp 2? [13:19] Does anyone in here use banshee with daap? (because I have trouble "seeing" anyone ... nor does anyone see me) [13:19] IdleOne, then how do i install it to comp2, and where does it download to? [13:19] I'm using lucid [13:19] acovrig: copy to USB then from terminal sudo dpkg -i package === nightfrog is now known as culb [13:21] Matisse: there is a space before 'karmic' is this the problem how do I correct it? [13:21] IdleOne, I get an invalid command [13:21] Flips a coin: TAILS [13:21] cub: yes. thats how vmware works also [13:21] rocket161, what? [13:21] richard123, the space is ok. didnt you edit that file before? [13:22] acovrig: change package name to the actual name of the package === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [13:22] anyone could help me how could i determine about my sda1 or sda2 or sda3? [13:22] IdleOne, I did [13:22] acovrig: what package? [13:22] Matisse: i tried to add a repositary, then error messages started and I cant get back in to do anything. [13:22] friendishan: detrtmine what about them? [13:22] 'apt-get -d sun-java6-bin' returns 'Invalid operation sun-java6-bin' [13:22] friendishan: blkid, fdisk -l could help [13:22] Dr_Willis which one i am using for ubuntu [13:22] bazhang: A /flip plugin [13:23] rocket16, please disable plugins here [13:23] icarus-c from grub? [13:23] acovrig: sun-java6-jre [13:23] friendishan: from a terminal [13:23] anyone could help me how could i determine about my sda1 or sda2 or sda3 from grub2? [13:23] Does anyone know of a way to capture headphone output to a file? (like instead of playing to the headphone port, it writes it to a file) [13:23] acovrig: you will probably also want sun-java6-plugin [13:23] icarus-c the problem is i get to grub when i start ubuntu....so trying to do a manual boot [13:23] Dr_Willis: i see, so the ubuntu OS inside of virtualbox (which is also inside of XP), can it be modified with a different IP address than the "mother" XP network setting? [13:23] bazhang: I am using Pidgin, and those Plugins are for all accounts. Please stop asking to disable, since it does harm anybody. [13:24] friendishan: you could try them all [13:24] Dr_Willis, nice bashstyle-ng will play :) [13:24] icarus-c ok [13:24] * icarus-c points cub to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization [13:25] IdleOne, its not getting the -d or something, it thinks that it is a command not a package name [13:25] cub: or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization [13:25] richard123, remove that line, will help [13:25] Matisse: How? [13:25] as you added it before... [13:25] acovrig: paste the command here please? [13:26] kdesu kate and open the file [13:26] or sudo mcedit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:26] IdleOne, 'apt-get install -d sun-java6-jre' [13:26] richard123, sorry, i dont have any time left, ask the others or try the commands [13:26] bye [13:26] IdleOne, it returns 'E: Invalid operation sun-java6-bin' [13:26] hello, I wish to set up a 1gb ram disk, can someone help me understand what these commands do?

[13:27] lubse: read about Linux tmpfs & ramfs infrastructure [13:27] I have no idea, because I found it on google [13:27] Can anyone help me with this error trying to open synaptic or update manager: http://paste.ubuntu.com/416107/ & http://paste.ubuntu.com/416112/ [13:28] acovrig: hmmm I am getting same error [13:28] hmm... :-/ [13:28] IdleOne, i don't understand if u just type 'apt-get' it shows the -d parameter [13:28] lubse: mount -t tmpfs -o rw,size=1024M none /mnt/tmp [13:28] acovrig: work around: go to packages.ubuntu.com and download it [13:28] lubse: that's all about it [13:29] configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH why? [13:29] lubse: OR, by default configuration, there is "ramdisk" of 50% of you total ram on /dev/shm [13:29] I have 12 GB ram [13:29] lubse: you could simply mount -o bind /dev/shm /mnt/ramdisk [13:30] [13:30] richard123: in the last line the "main restricted universe multiverse" (or whatever you like) is missing [13:30] I think 1GB will be enough, I will only use it to store my dataset [13:30] lubse: dataset? [13:30] I hope it will speed up things [13:30] lubse: if i got 12GB, i would load my whole system into ram on boot :P [13:31] why? [13:31] guntbert - I cant get back in to change it? [13:31] considering the whole installation i've got is just ~4GB [13:31] would that really speed things up? [13:31] lubse: you do the math [13:32] richard123: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list should get you an editing session [13:32] nah, maybe in theory [13:32] but I doubt it will make much difference in practise [13:32] lubse: it takes 25 seconds to load 1GB of stuff from hard disk to ram. but < 1 second from ram to ram [13:32] ye, but when do you ever load 1GB of stuff? [13:32] unless you load a big dataset.. [13:32] lubse: that would result in instant application startup [13:33] my apps start up fast enough already, I don't have any big apps I think [13:34] Does someone here have knowledge of blade servers and has 5 minutes of time?

I mean a source .bashrc [15:05] mrwes, yes, i added that line to .bashrc. I figured simply restarting terminal woudl make it take effect but it didn't...Is what i did correct? [15:05] mrwes, it was ~/.bashrc [15:05] A\W: 10.04? that goes in #ubuntu+1 even though yes, its pretty darned close to release and so not much change in stability expected between now and then [15:05] maco: to be honest, I dont understand it, it seems to be very general. [15:05] but if i upgrade, i will get several updates a day right? (that doesnt bother me but..) but from the BETA can i upgrade to the real thing(when it is released)? and how? [15:05] richard123: what is it youre trying to compile and where can i download it?

[16:02] Nataniel_PL: ls > filelist.txt [16:03] ikonia Thx [16:03] ikonia: A 3G modem (Huawei E220) which can't really do anything else than connect to the internets. [16:03] clrg: good point, didnt think of that [16:03] ironmunk: If you don't need tex anymore, you can remove them. [16:04] Hohoo: how do u expect to share intenrte connection without a wireless adapter? [16:04] Hohoo: ok, so you need to set your ubuntu machine up as a wirless access point and use either no encyption or wep encyption, however you could just plug that 3g usb dongle into the DSi [16:04] * costre thinks Hohoo is swedish [16:04] if you want recursive folders Nataniel_PL you can find /folder -type d > file.txt [16:04] * Hohoo is not Swedish [16:04] ikonia: dsi has usb? [16:04] costre: what has that got to do wth anything [16:04] mickster04: my ds-lite does, so I'd assume the dsi does [16:04] can anyone help with this install problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/416174/ [16:05] ikonia: what a full usb? how on earth?

But ikonia is right, just use the version from the repos, that way it will get updated automatically. [16:06] mickster04: that would explain it [16:06] richard123: why do you /need/ 1.3.6 [16:07] clrg: I need 1.3.6 previous has many bugs, 1.3.6 has 150 bugs fixed, can you help? [16:07] richard123: find . -name "*make*" -type f [16:08] clrg, sorry, what is the command exactly? [16:08] costre: he's just give it you [16:08] ooops [16:08] ok [16:08] Is there a way to have the ubuntu file browser open on the current directly that i'm on via Terminal.

[16:10] DOes anyone know how to sync the desktop calendar with google calendar? [16:10] the drop down on from the task bar mikebot ? [16:10] ironmunk: Yeah. [16:10] richard123: Yep, no makefile. That file is required in order to compile your program. [16:10] Is there a package in the repos for all man-files for c and cpp functions, so that i may write man malloc for example? [16:10] is flash10 officially released for ubuntu? [16:10] set it up in evolution [16:10] OK, how do I get it? [16:10] that will then hook in [16:11] ironmunk: Will it work even if I don't use evolution? [16:11] clrg: synaptic? [16:11] should do I think [16:11] richard123: Most likely you downloaded a tar.gz-file? It should be in there. [16:11] ironmunk: Do you know how to do it in evolution? [16:11] ok, checking .. . [16:12] \0/ [16:13] clrg: there are a few cmake files after Extract - which one? [16:13] hello everyone [16:13] audio isnt available in movie player of ubuntu [16:13] mikebot, you might have to setup your google mail account in it [16:14] How to remotly control a Windows machine from ubuntu?????????????? [16:14] clrg: is it CMakeLists.txt? [16:14] ironmunk: I did that, but now I'm not sure how to actually sync the, [16:14] m [16:14] ok [16:14] click the Calendars button at the bottom left [16:15] ironmunk: OK [16:15] Hello, I have a minimal linux system: how can look at the ip settings? ifdown and ifconfig are not available [16:15] audio isnt coming in movie player of ubuntu,how do i go? [16:15] right click 'New Calendar' and should be pretty straight forward :) [16:15] has anyone set up a ustream stream in CLI? [16:15] fk91: ifconfig [16:15] fk91: ip a [16:15] sometux: fk91said ifconfig isnt available :P [16:15] richard123: Nope.. It should be something like make.conf [16:15] @Maco: ip is there, thanks :) [16:15] fk91: static or dhcp [16:16] static [16:16] sometux: gnome-rdp [16:16] ironmunk: That makes it import from google calendar? That looks like I'm creating a new one from scratch [16:16] fk91: look at /etc/interface [16:16] clrg: config.h.cmake ? [16:16] clrg: what do I do with it to install it? [16:16] richard123: No. [16:16] it'll import [16:16] * clrg sighs. [16:17] sometux: the file is /etc/network/interfaces and fk91 also said "ifdown" (and so probably ifup as well) is not availablel [16:17] you select Type: as Google [16:17] clrg: ConfigureChecks.cmake [16:17] ? [16:17] @sometux: /etc/interfaces are not there, its a fli4l [16:17] and give it a name, you user and colour you want etc [16:17] richard123: For the third time: The makefile is missing. You. can. *not* install. it. without. [16:17] then it'll prompt for your password [16:17] fk91: sorry look at /etc/network/interfaces [16:18] fk91: the interfaces file is for use with ifup and ifdown but if you lack those thats not very helpful [16:18] clrg: sorry if I am slow, I am looking for a makefile in the extracted list of files? [16:18] @sometux: This file isnt there too. [16:18] ironmunk: OK thank you. Bye [16:18] richard123: If there was one, the find command would have shown us where it is. It is not there. [16:18] np [16:18] fk91: just stick to the "ip" command [16:19] How do i enable sudo insults? [16:19] clrg: OK, can i get it from synaptic? [16:19] fk91: i think you have to look in /proc [16:19] richard123: Usually the developers provide one along with the .c and .h files, but obviously that is not the case here. [16:19] sometux: no fk91 doesnt [16:19] clrg: (thanks for the patience;-) [16:19] sometux: as i just told fk91 and as they confirmed worked, "ip a" shows the ip address [16:19] clrg: am I stumped then? [16:19] richard123: The make file is specific to every program. You cannot just get it, someone has to write one especially for this program. [16:20] sometux: the ip command is the replacement for the ifconfig command [16:20] oh, I see, I was following: http://davekoelmeyer.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/build-scribus-in-ubuntu-9-10/ some people seem to have had success. [16:20] I know i have to use a command like visudo or something, but im not sure which line to edit [16:20] Oh you are right "ip a" does it :) [16:20] richard123: when you run that "cmake .. blah blah" command that the blog post says, you will get a makefile [16:21] maco: sine when?? [16:21] maco: hi, I dont, I get errors. [16:21] maco: since* [16:21] richard123: Try "sudo apt get update && sudo apt-get install scribus" === merkel is now known as Guest21198 [16:21] sometux: at least karmic. i think ifconfig is being deprecated [16:22] richard123: when you run this: "cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=~/scribusinstall" like the post says? what errors? [16:22] maco: i donk [16:22] maco: i donk [16:22] maco: i don't like change game rules :( [16:22] can anyone tell me what a windows cursor file is? i have a image file with .bit extension and when i try to open it..i get the message: no application installed for windows cursor file [16:23] i?

[16:24] mickster04, thats what it says [16:24] richard123: cmake is fine. you didnt install all the dependencies [16:25] richard123: its job is to tell you that, and it is doing so [16:25] roshan: whats your question then [16:25] clrg: I get command not found with that. [16:25] maco: Ok, what shoudl I do? [16:25] richard123: did you install libqt4-dev like the top of the page told you to? [16:25] bobovski: i prefer linksys, but if you go to a place like newegg you can search through reviews for terms like "linux" and "ubuntu" to see if anyone has reported incompatibilites. [16:26] has anyone set up a ustream stream in CLI? [16:26] How can I see the grub boot menu at startup - I simply want to do a memtest [16:26] mickster04: nice... and i have to install linux first right? to use grub to control boot [16:26] tenmiles: Thank you [16:26] do I have to edit the grub config file to show the menu? [16:26] richard123: apt-get has a - not a space [16:26] or is there some key combination I can press at bootup to show the menu [16:26] mcnellis: did you install ubuntu? as the only os> [16:26] yes Dr_Willis [16:26] diofeher: no linux last, grub is better than the windows one [16:26] mcnellis: if so try the shift key [16:26] ok thanks [16:27] diofeher: leave the linux partition unformatted [16:27] richard123: clrg would have you installing the currently packaged version. what you're doing is installing from svn, so clrg would give you a slightly older version. its the easier way though.. [16:27] mickster04, I am not able to view that image [16:27] maco: no I neglected that - am downloading now. OK re the command. [16:27] Dr_Willis:audio is not coming on my ububtu.how do i go about it?

[16:27] richard123: thats why it tells you them *FIRST* [16:28] lalla: No idea. I rarely have sound issues. so ive never troubleshot sound. [16:28] maco: sorry, it is late here, I missed that one.

[16:29] mickster04: so, i partitionate with windows, then i install windows first and then install linux? [16:29] mcnellis: edit the grub cfs so it dosent hide the menu. or use a live cd that has memtest on it [16:29] heo [16:29] lalla: run "alsamier" and check you dont have anything muted or turned down first [16:29] ah yeah maybe i'll use a live usb thanks === root is now known as wean [16:29] mcnellis: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [16:29] or not...

[17:44] acovrig, Access your router's settings page, edit the port forwarding settings to transmit data on the remote desktop port to your specific computers IP [17:44] costre, and it seems to be the place where my data is [17:44] yes i can [17:44] usr_, Then go for it [17:44] AaronM: That's probably not what you really want to do though. [17:45] costre why? and what port 22,80,5222,6777 are already forwarded [17:45] greezmunkey, some interesting stuff. I find I made 1 mistake already - however I'm no closer yet. What option should I be choosing when I search for it? Samba? IPP? Network printer? LDP or whatever it is? [17:45] seven1: you said both have same ip's , yeah ? , hope thats external ip , not internal :p [17:45] i just want NetworkManager to completly ignore the wlan2 interface but still be able to connect through wlan0 [17:45] acovrig, Because that's one explanation why noone can access your remote desktop [17:45] does any one know which library in gcc is similiar to graphics in tc [17:45] it is an NOT dinamicaly IP. [17:46] acovrig, What port to open is displayed in the remote dekstop settings I believe [17:46] costre, thats not what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to download lynx for an offline install (to comp2) without installing on comp1 [17:46] Roasted: ipp [17:47] seven1: agreed, but atleast internal ip should be different right? [17:47] acovrig, Oh, I mistook you for somwone else ... time for a cup of coffee :D [17:47] costre: can i have some too :) [17:47] costre, thats ok, lol [17:47] Geek it is the same computer, but 5 OS, by one touch [17:48] greezmunkey, now this printer is USB plugged in and shared - still IPP? [17:48] how do I download a package for an offline install (to comp2) without installing on comp1 [17:48] seven1: oh man , that makes it much more clear :p [17:48] AaronM: if you configure the interface, NM will ignore it [17:48] acovrig: you were already told -d option lol [17:48] I use 7 OS ( NOT WINDOWS 7!) [17:48] hi there how do i check startup applications [17:48] like tor [17:49] so i have an button and when i touch it i can change the interface [17:49] greezmunkey, Im not able to select anything when I use IPP. [17:49] wow is ubuntu shared printing really this difficult or am I completely retarded? [17:49] but i cannot switch files between [17:49] AaronM: if you configure it through /etc/interfaces, that is. Maybe you can just make it a loop back interface or something [17:49] geekphreak but it doesnt work, it trys to install, can I force download even if it is already installed on comp1? [17:50] seven1: you think you will have better lucjk on bsd lol [17:50] evenin all [17:50] think so === chase_ is now known as capcap [17:50] acovrig: reinstall, or just navigate directly to the server [17:50] maybe rar will run better on FREEBSD [17:51] i doubt that seven1 [17:51] how do I list ALL startup applications? [17:51] helo [17:51] ChogyDan, i just need to find a way to prevent it from being brought up automaticaly when plugged in [17:51] seven1, That right there is a mystery wrapped in a riddle :) [17:51] rar is a format invented for windows systems... [17:51] witam [17:51] jest tu jakis polak [17:51] costre: with a side of onions.. [17:51] !pl | chudziu [17:51] chudziu: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego.

Thank you very much guys. I got my faith back hehe. You rock!!! keep up the good work :) [17:52] i cant type [17:52] LINUX ROCKS!!! [17:52] usr_, What happened? [17:52] AaronM: so I guess you can;t configure it with /etc/interfaces? [17:52] costre, its mounted so now I can see my data [17:53] usr_, Back. It. Up. :) [17:53] ummm i probably can, just dont know how. imma google around thx anyway [17:53] ubuntu.. [17:53] or is that "make a backup"? either way, just do it [17:53] ubuntu is realy hard to handle [17:53] usr_: good job [17:53] seven1, I find it quite comfortable [17:53] seven1: not really [17:54] costre, hehe yeah. I am doing that immediately [17:54] list [17:54] guys, i try from 1 day to unrar/ unzip and nothing [17:54] usr_: next time use externla usb drive for backups :p [17:54] ubuntu 9.10 - how to hear live the microphone/line input? seems to be disabled [17:54] Roasted: did you follow the instructions regarding the server side, where the printer is attached? [17:54] geekphreak, thanks. yeah I know [17:54] seven1: works here np, did you install the rar package? [17:54] join a channel [17:54] geekphreak, It's a mystery [17:54] rar package? [17:55] i did get one from their website [17:55] seven1: there is a rar and unrar packages in teh repos.. [17:55] rarlab.com [17:55] seven1: sudo apt-get install unrar [17:55] you dont need the rar package just to unrar [17:55] seven1: no need to use their web site [17:55] geekphreak, I thought that drive was reliable. Well the drive is, but the way to store data is not... [17:55] it says unrar is not available [17:55] AaronM: fwiw though, I thought you could get NM to ignore a connection. You could just right click the connection and uncheck automatic. Maybe that is what you are looking for [17:55] AaronM: There just isn't a good answer except like what I mentioned before, adding the int to /etc/network/interfaces, sorry [17:55] either unrar-free [17:55] usr_: if you are getting smart error , i would backup , even though error can be flakey at times, but why take a chance [17:55] seven1: you got some repos disabled.. or not updated the listing recently perhaps. [17:55] !info unrar-free [17:56] unrar-free (source: unrar-free): Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional.

[17:56] the terminal is hung [17:56] StaticShock, nevermind, CTRL+C [17:57] i tried that [17:57] strg +c? StaticShock [17:57] strg? [17:57] usr_: welcome to the dark side :) [17:57] sry im german ctrl [17:57] ah [17:57] ChogyDan, no its not the connection that is bothering me its that NM sees the new wireless interface and starts automatically sending active broadcast probes to try and find wireless APs around me. my wlan0 is the one i connect to wireless with wlan2 is my wireless that i tinker with (it is a rfmon interface) [17:57] yeah, ctrl+c doesn't do it [17:57] !info: event not found [17:57] StaticShock, uhh well CTRL+Z might work [17:57] no [17:57] it doesn't [17:57] dr4g: though it was ctrl+w [17:57] StaticShock, ok i'm out of ideas then :) [17:57] !info: event not found [17:57] geekphreak, not for terminals [17:57] StaticShock: try ctrl+w [17:58] oh [17:58] nothing [17:58] geekphreak, only for GUI apps like firefox and the likes [17:58] CTRL+W closes current tab [17:58] i can close the tab by hitting the X in the corner [17:58] seven1: do u have the multiverse repositories activated? [17:58] but i was wondering if that strands any processes or anything [17:58] to have what? [17:58] or any resources [17:58] dr4g: sorry its shift+ctrl+ [17:58] w* [17:58] no how can activate them smt?

[17:58] geekphreak, ah [17:58] I have a router linux: Where can I find the network settings as a file? /etc/net* or /etc/interfaces dont exists. resolv.conf only contains 127.0.0.1 [17:58] seven1: ->pm [17:59] Is there another place where the config files are saved? [17:59] geekphreak, that doesn't even work for me lol [17:59] Roasted: keep dinking with it, you'll get it. [17:59] dr4g: works here umm [17:59] actually, Shift+Ctrl+W is asking me "close this terminal, even though a process is still running in it?" [17:59] geekphreak, hehe, thanks. I've been tracking ubuntu since 6.XX but I had to use specialized software that is developed just for MS OSs, but now Im returning to ubuntu :). Just to be sure, to backup all the data from my drive I use "cp -afp src dest" right? [17:59] StaticShock: try this shift+ctrl+w [17:59] fk91: Shouldn't be. But this is offtopic for this channel, come to #ubuntu offtopic and we'll see if we can't find something. [17:59] which is the first time i've gotten any kind of response in that terminal [17:59] I accidently pressed CTRL+W on this channel and xchat closed it! :P :P [17:59] heh [18:00] greezmunkey, I dont have time. it makes me want to fire up windows to do my damn printing. [18:00] Hi, can someone help me connect to my router? I just set up my wmp11 v2.7 wifi card with ndiswrapper and I can't connect to my router which has WEP 64 bit encryption. I can connect when it doesn't have a password but when I have wep on I can't. When I first log in it says connection established and then it says disconnected and then keeps asking for my password. Please help! [18:00] so, i closed it. is that a clean close? will ssh figure it out? [18:00] usr_: matter of choice, i like partimage :) , its partition cloning tool [18:00] usr_: in your can cp should do just fine :) [18:00] yeah, ok, looks like ssh is dead [18:00] case* [18:00] fk91: sorry, #ubuntu-offtopic is the channel [18:00] StaticShock, idle processed will be cleaned up [18:00] ok [18:00] don't worry [18:00] dr4g: ctrl+w hehe [18:00] Roasted: on the target ubox, where the printer is, do you have admin access? [18:00] geekphreak, but I have more data on the drive I am planning to copy the data to [18:00] and if not use 'top' to see your ssh and kill the PID [18:01] Flannel: Ok :) [18:01] StaticShock, ^ [18:01] greezmunkey, meaning what, exactly? [18:01] geekphreak, or partimage just use the free space? [18:01] thanks [18:01] Greetings, everyone. [18:01] Is there anyway to keep my 9.10 completely up-to-date easily with the latest software, I don't want to upgrade to 10.04 when it comes out. [18:01] usr_: nope, copy will do just fine for you :) [18:01] the local ssh session got killed, but on the remote PC it's still alive [18:01] which is annoying [18:02] geekphreak, ok. Once again, thanks =) [18:02] Roasted, can you run sudo command(s) [18:02] greezmunkey, yes [18:02] costre, geekphreak, greezmunkey, have a great day folks =) [18:02] mermi: sudo apt-get upgrade you dont have to upgrade to 10 when it comes out.

[18:04] Roasted: ok, try this on the target: sudo smbpasswd -a {your username here} [18:04] switch10_, ill still get the latest build of firefox? [18:04] Roasted: make sense?

[18:05] Im just trying to share a printer [18:05] every time I log in to my headless server with ssh -X I have no trouble getting apps to start, but any that I sudo seem to segfault. If that doesn't work properly, why would xdmcp have been made more difficult to enable? [18:06] Roasted: yeah, but you did say you couldn't browse shares, I'm thinking adding your user there would at least enable you to access that printer via samba...your call. [18:06] how can I check if I have DRM enabled for my graphics? [18:07] OT Oh, man .... I hope Avatar still runs at the cinema around here, because looking on a small screen it looks like a cutscene from some mediocre video game :) [18:07] type this into your terminal: glxinfo | grep direct [18:07] usr_: hey you are back, got some coffee? [18:07] geekphreak, hehe, yeah [18:07] usr_, Did your backup drive fail too? :D [18:07] greezmunkey, so you need to add a samba user so each user can print?? [18:07] dtg01100: thanks [18:07] greezmunkey, I hate to say it, but I know that's not right.

I do not know how to change the permissions [18:09] usr_, Try chmod the entire drive [18:09] chmod 777 should give everyone right to do anything t the files [18:09] costre I used chmod -R 777 /drive/ [18:09] chmod 777 -R FOLDERNAME === Guest45957 is now known as Nooby-doo [18:10] I am using thunderbird, and there is a link in my email.

[18:10] usr_, Did you do it to the mount point or the device? [18:10] usr_, Also, did you use sudo? [18:10] Nooby-doo: firefox is in /usr/bin/firefox [18:10] Nooby-doo: Likely in /usr/bin/ [18:11] costre: options come before mode in chmod.... [18:11] usr_, Mountpoint = /media/disk1 or so [18:11] costre, sorry, to the mount point.

When I first log in it says connection established and then it says disconnected and then keeps asking for my password. Please help!

[19:03] poweriso > http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4448766&postcount=3 >> get http://poweriso.com/poweriso.tar.gz && sudo tar -zxvf poweriso.tar.gz -C /bin $ rm -f poweriso.tar.gz [19:03] xyz: folder is here refering to the name of the folder, not the word "folder" itself, [19:03] ActionParsnip: its a command line only tool by the same company it seems [19:03] xyz: you dont need to use opweriso o u? [19:03] ya [19:04] poweriso do you?* [19:04] ActionParsnip: download, extract, copy to bin.. Install done.. [19:04] :) [19:04] thats what i did [19:04] Dr_willis: surely mount can do it all [19:04] fascinating thank you [19:04] xyz: why? [19:04] xyz: Now is it working? [19:04] ActionParsnip: ive no idea wht it can or can not do. [19:04] gafir: mget dir/* (inside a good ftp client) [19:04] i used the command cd foldername [19:04] cant he just open the folder, right click extract, omg [19:04] bt not working [19:04] Dr_willis: gotcha [19:04] tucemiux, Yes, I printed a test page. [19:04] erUSUL: thanks, i'm using the "ftp" command though, but i'll give it a shot :) [19:05] gafir: lftp is way better and comes preinstalled iirc [19:05] gafir: i gues that you can use wget too [19:05] xyz: may I ask *why* exactly you need that program? [19:05] xyz: Uuse exactly "cd ~/foldername" [19:05] error message comes saying no such files or directories [19:05] ActionParsnip: reading poweriso -help - it seems it can convert from iso/bin/daa (whatever that is) and extract files.. and split images. [19:05] i do like ncftp too [19:05] erUSUL: does lftp accept gss? [19:05] G-Farkas, youre attempting to use a printer attached to an ubuntu machine from another machine running ubuntu? O_o [19:05] to view the contents of that foler [19:05] tucemiux, yes [19:06] gafir: dunno what that is, but if plain ftp has it so will lftp [19:06] xyz: This command will obviously work, if not, then your command-typing might be wrong, because cd command is universal, [19:06] G-Farkas, can both machines see each other? can you ping each other? [19:06] erUSUL: yeh so far only got it to work with ftp :) [19:06] Dr_willis: nice :). Bchunk can do stuff but I guess its a onestopshop [19:06] erUSUL: no ncftp or lftp [19:07] i dont know why [19:07] bt cd command is not working [19:07] tucemiux, I think yes, because one use the other one as proxy to install packages (apt-cacher). [19:07] 4 line 'install poweriso' commands -> http://pastebin.com/ZDWjzi38 [19:07] cd downloads is not even working here [19:07] xyz: bash basics, linux basics CASE Is ImPorAnTanT [19:08] xyz: tab complete it [19:08] How do I get rid of the password/login screen when I resume from suspend? [19:08] thx guys! grub-install worked! [19:08] xyz: its Downloads [19:08] Xyz: use tab to complete, downloads has a capital d, linux is case sensitive [19:08] ZMR: good luck :) [19:08] G-Farkas, you can test this, first go to one machine an find the ip address: ifconfig, then ping each other: ping 192.168.1.x [19:08] tucemiux, It found the printer. I tried to search in other ips an it didnt find anything. With the ip of the desktop pc (where is attached the printer) [19:08] Dr_Willis: should you cd to folder first :) [19:08] tucemiux, Ill try [19:08] heh [19:08] xyz: Use "cd Downloads" [19:08] greezmunkey: the exact 4 line 'install poweriso' commands i used -> http://pastebin.com/ZDWjzi38 [19:08] ya now its working [19:09] for downloads [19:09] and how do I stop nautilus from displaying directory entries startiing with '.'? [19:09] Knowing the Fundamentals pays off. [19:09] Xyz: remember the case is critical [19:09] ded`: hide/show hidden files - ctrl-h [19:09] ded`: ctrl+h [19:09] ded`: press ctrl+h [19:09] G-Farkas, if networking is not an issue, try stopping the printer from within CUPS and start it again [19:09] Dr_Willis: exactly, I was just foolin before... [19:09] i didnt knew that it si case sensitive language [19:09] xyz: Yes, it is, [19:09] xyz: you still havent explained why poweriso? [19:09] OK, cheers. I don't use nautilus much so didn't know that. [19:09] xyz: this is why i suggested a linux/shell tutorial/begunners guide earlier. [19:09] tucemiux, 17 packets transmitted, 17 received, 0% packet loss, time 16023ms [19:09] bt it is not working for home folder [19:09] Xyz: every day is a school day :) [19:10] tucemiux, Ill do it [19:10] xyz: What command exactly are you typing? === kiki_ is now known as Farzad [19:10] i downloaded dictionary which is in poweriso [19:10] So, any way to get rid of the password screen after suspend or is it compulsory? [19:10] cd home folder [19:10] 16023ms !! [19:10] xyz: what extention? [19:11] xyz: God, exactly this command? "cd home folder"??? [19:11] no no [19:11] is there any receipt to check if some IP is reachable? i.e., to see if the routing table knows where to send it? [19:11] rocket16: hehe, have fun ;) [19:11] Xyz: try: cd $HOME [19:11] ded`: tgeres settings for that in the screensaver/powersave settings somewhere [19:11] not cd homefolder name [19:11] G-Farkas, http://localhost:631/admin look at the logs, there might be jobs still stored in it that you have to kill [19:11] extention is tar.gz [19:11] hello, I wanted to do a cp -a *.* with an exception of 2 files...how can I do that [19:11] nunojpg: traceroute, if you don't have it apt-get it. [19:11] xyz: no what is the dictionary xtention? [19:11] hello, I wanted to do a cp -a *.* with an exception of 2 files...how can I do that [19:11] tar.gz [19:11] Dr_Willis, I thought I'd looked there but will look again now... [19:12] ded`: i alwyas turn it off.. so its there somewhere [19:12] tucemiux, let me see [19:12] xyz: pwoeriso wont open those files:/ [19:12] even i downloaded key loggor which in tar.gz format [19:12] Antibody: move the files out, copy then move them back [19:12] so i need to install it [19:12] i already unzipped it [19:12] AntiSpamMeta: copy them all and delete the two you dont want? [19:12] xyz: the exact 4 commands i used to instgall poweriso --> http://pastebin.com/ZDWjzi38 [19:12] bt i want to install it [19:12] tucemiux, there are no jobs, Ill try again from the other pc (laptop) to see if the problem was solved [19:12] xyz: all yoiu do to 'install' it is copy it whever you want. [19:13] xyz: make directory called 'bin' and drag/drop it in there.. done.. [19:13] xyz: but its such a hassle, you're obviously struggling, just install brasero? or some other iso software from apt-get [19:13] xyz: you do realize that is a command line only tool? [19:13] How to install QT ? [19:14] is there is a thunderbird email for ubuntu please [19:14] ubuntu: search for it in the package manager, and install it [19:14] mcl0vin_: yes, it's in the ubuntu software repo's [19:14] Dr_Willis: I just disabled "Lock screen when screensaver active" I'll see if that does it [19:14] tucemiux, I see it conecting to the other server :s [19:14] greezmunkey: thanks, but I'm only looking if there is a route from my machine, not if it works. Traceroute tries to contact... [19:14] it will be my knowledge if i will be able to extract tar.gz file form terminal [19:14] How can I list all of the files in a package? Is there a way to do it before it's installed? [19:14] Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install qt-libs but if you install whatever kde app you need it will drag in qt deps [19:14] G-Farkas, go to "Administration" in CUPS, make sure the printer its shared [19:14] xyz: You need to learn linux and filesystem basics first. [19:14] rocket 16 [19:14] ya [19:14] wabash: dpkg -L packagename if it is installed if not use the package.ubuntu.com site [19:15] nunojpg: in a terminal: ip route, man ip route for details. [19:15] G-Farkas, it's connecting? good, you still need to send a test page [19:15] wabash: tar -t package.tar [19:15] from where can i learn filesyetembasics [19:15] erUSUL: Ok, thank you. Synaptic does not have a nice option for this? [19:15] xyz: yeah, you're doing something wuite difficult (to some extent) esecially when you compare that to you not being able to move around folder? [19:15] oh that package, man i need coffee [19:15] How can I set the terminal resolution in Ubuntu? Not the Xorg resolution, the command line one. Right now, it extends past the bottom of the window. [19:15] xyz: what do you mean ? [19:15] !bash | xyz [19:15] xyz: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:15] -!- cept i dont see how they can test your smartness with HISTORY [19:15] Would a hard drive that I have to drop into a recovery shell and use FSCK on on every reboot need to be replaced? [19:15] xyz: start there. [19:15] geekphreak: THank you anyhow. [19:15] wabash: no; but you can install apt-file if you do not want to use the site [19:15] Joeseph: depends if it's faulty === ubuntu is now known as furythor [19:15] ikonia: so just do "apt-get installl thunderbird" [19:16] guys, i have 2 disks, where can i find the second [19:16] wabash: :) [19:16] !bash [19:16] Does anyone here have issues with Firefox in Ubuntu consuming way too much CPU resources? I've tried a few of the "fixes" I found and none of them work. [19:16] -!- my bellybutton smells worse than my ass [19:16] -!- heh [19:16] -!- how do you smell your bellybutton? [19:16] -!- digdug: pick all the lint out of it and then smell your finger : [19:16] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:16] mcl0vin_: open the package manager gui, search for it, and then install it [19:16] xyz: spend an hr or 2 reading various popular bash tutoras and command line guides you find on google and delicious.com [19:16] ikonia: How can I know if it is faulty? I mean, it runs, but my computer keeps hanging and crashing random programs... could that be the cause? [19:16] harleypig, disable those plugins [19:16] i have 2 disk, i can access first one, where can i find the second [19:16] Joeseph, if you have to use fsck on every reboot no matter what people said, I would replace it! unless off course I dont really care about the data on the hard drive [19:16] Joeseph: possible, but doubtful [19:16] Chillindave: firefox is poor with ram and cpu [19:16] That has made Ubuntu pretty much useless for me because of that. [19:16] erUSUL: How does the site work? [19:16] seven1: sudo fdisk -l , see anything? [19:16] The url you gave me also is not there. [19:16] i'll be back [19:17] ActionParsnip, What's the alternative? It works fine on Windows, never have had a problem there. [19:17] Chillindave: use less addons and plugins to make it lighter [19:17] wabash: search for the package. each package page has a link to the list of files [19:17] erUSUL: Thanks. [19:17] ikonia: Okay... There's another cause I'm going to try to eradicate later but first things first.... [19:17] flash seems to cause the most issues in firefox from what i 'see' [19:17] Linux Extended Solaris [19:17] seven1: it should be under the 'places' menu if it is recognized [19:17] Joeseph, my machine crashed and randomly locked with jaunty, I installed karmic an it runs just fine [19:17] Chillindave: chromium/chrome, opera, midori, arora, konqueror to name just a few [19:17] erUSUL: It's packages.ubuntu.com [19:17] seven1: what ? [19:17] tucemiux, Now I can print from the other pc, But, I can see the printer from the two servers. But, it's ok, It is very simple to change (choosing "localhost"from the printing preferences). Thank you very much. [19:17] jigfp [19:17] hodti[okhg [19:17] wabash: yes [19:17] ActionParsnip, I don't have barely anything installed! I disabled just about everything it had. The only add-on I personally added was firebug. [19:18] does anyone know if wine1.2 can be installed again without problems ? [19:18] G-Farkas, no problem [19:18] Sorry, stupid cat... [19:18] tucemiux: I'm running Karmic. [19:18] Chillindave: what windows does or doesn't do is of no interest [19:18] ActionParsnip, Oh, that and the flash plugin. [19:18] 1516 People in this room!!!!!! Has anyone thought of splitting #ubuntu into separate channels based on subtopics? [19:18] furythor: installed again? You mean remove/reinstalled? [19:18] greezmunkey: lol , cat is after the mouse :p [19:18] wabash: yes, and it was decided not to [19:18] geekphreak: heh :) [19:18] Dr_Willis: OK I've found /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock in gconf-editor. Looks lie that's going to get rid of password screens. [19:18] wabash: there are subtopic channels.. and this is a low# of people fior tis channel actually [19:18] wabash, yes, there is #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic [19:18] greezmunkey: tell your cat i said meow [19:18] ikonia: I see.. [19:18] wabash: much better this way [19:19] ok guys i will stary reading bash command [19:19] wabash: come in here on release day and see 3000+ [19:19] He likes the way the text moves on the screen. [19:19] wabash: there is ubuntu+1 for 10.04 [19:19] Chillindave: you could also try the windows version in wine. I personally think firefox is garbage. There's swiftfox and kasenchase which use gecko but are far lighter [19:19] Dr_Willis: Relative numbers aside, it is still a lot of people. Just watch and see all of the simultaneous conversations going on.... rather hard to follow. [19:19] Dr_willis: already dreading release day [19:19] wabash: i have no problems. :) [19:19] I'm trying to teach him shell script, but he's a slow learner. [19:19] ActionParsnip: im taking that week off. :) [19:19] hey so when is it coming out? [19:19] Who i can convert slapd.d to slapd.conf in ubuntu 9.04 ? [19:19] Dr_Willis: yep gconf did it but didn't find it in gnome GUI [19:20] Dr_willis: hopefully I'll be working :) [19:20] ded`: i never used gconf.. but im on kde right now. so cant double check [19:20] ActionParsnip, Yeah, I don't have enough ram to run windows virtually like that, plus that goes into "way too much trouble to go that route" teritory. So one of those two one's you mentioned are good for web development? [19:21] ok time to go, have fun guys , cya all [19:21] tucemiux, ikonia: Okay, I'm looking to move my data from my current dying HD (HDa) to my smaller HD (HDb). I have my bigger HD as ext4, and partitioned twice, once for "/" (HDa1) and once for "/home." (HDa2) What's the best way to copy the contents of HDa1 and HDa2 onto two new partitions in HDb? [19:21] goodnight [19:21] Chillindave: wine doesn't need windows to run, its an abstraction layer [19:21] guys just now i installed mysql bt couldnot able to find its location [19:21] its already installed [19:21] how to find its location? [19:21] xyz: type mysql [19:21] Why doesn't focus return to OpenOffice when I click on its button? [19:21] ActionParsnip: hi [19:21] Chillindave: i'd say arora or chromium [19:21] ActionParsnip: how are you? [19:21] ActionParsnip, Ahh, I gotcha. I've never had any luck getting anything to work in it. [19:21] Manhunter: recovering slowly [19:21] xyz: type "which mysql" into the terminal [19:22] xyz: "locate mysql" from a terminal [19:22] Oh, and if the HD is dying, is it a bad idea to copy everything from it, or should I just try to manually copy the things I need? [19:22] ActionParsnip, Alright, thank you. What is the equivalent to something like firebug in those? [19:22] ActionParsnip: what do you mean? [19:22] Chillindave: firefox has a high rating [19:22] Manhunter: went out last night and had a few too many shandys [19:22] Joeseph: if you dont copy everything from it you get nothingoff it? [19:23] c'è qualche italiano? [19:23] greezmunkey: thanks, looks just "ip route get 132.43.23.11 && echo yes", but do you now anyway with just ifconfig/route/etc ? I'm looking to do it the old way [19:23] mickster04: I don't understand what you're asking me. Can you elaborate? [19:23] !it | sp00k [19:23] sp00k: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [19:23] Joeseph: well you said "if the hd is dyin is it a bad idea to copy everything off it") well if you dont, you lose it all? [19:23] ActionParsnip, Well I know it's highly favored and I like using it, but in Ubuntu it just doesn't work right. It's really sluggish and bogs my system down because it starts using up around 70% of the CPU, which is crap. [19:24] greezmunkey: please disregard, fine as it is. Thanks, great [19:24] nunojpg: What are you trying to accomplish? A default route of some sort? [19:24] mickster04: Yes. Let me clarify. If I copy the dyings HD, will the FS still need to be checked? [19:24] tanks [19:24] chillindave: chrome is in ubuntu too? [19:24] ActionParsnip, I'll give those other ones a look though. [19:24] mikster: yes [19:24] mickster04, Nah, I haven't tried chrome yet. [19:24] Joeseph: oh i wouldnt do an entire system copy, just config files and personal effects, install ubuntu anew on the new hdd [19:24] Chillindave: you could try 3.6 or 3.7 but I personally think its rubbish. There are some tweaks you can do to make it nicer [19:24] greezmunkey: actually is when to add a default route, I need to know first if the gateway is reachable... [19:25] brianherman: tab complete [19:25] hey guys ... why do I have problems with HD streams ? in winblows it use to work fine but in ubuntu it lags like hell [19:25] nunojpg: ping the gate, then ip route add ... [19:25] Mickster04: totally. There's also a daily build ppa for chromium which I personally love :) === pedro is now known as stdDoubt [19:25] ActionParsnip, Well, I did upgrade to 3.6 by adding a repository (not sure which one) that had a debian package for it. [19:25] It didn't help. [19:25] mikster04: http://www.stefanoforenza.com/chromium-on-ubuntu-how-to/ [19:25] koe: what is it encoded with ? [19:25] Koe: what video card? [19:25] koe: and it's called "windows" [19:26] Chillindave: there's a mozilla ppa [19:26] I have ubuntu 9.10 nbr on Asus Eee 901 and would like to have cpu on performance-mode while running on batteries, how I can do that? What programs always enables power saving mode on batteries? [19:26] brianherman, LOL, I was just blogging about that fella's Rapache app this morning. [19:26] I have nvidia 7300 GT [19:26] for example youtube videos [19:26] ActionParsnip, ppa? [19:26] Koe: tried the nvidia vpau ppa. It has stuff optomised nice for nvidia cards [19:26] greezmunkey: ping generates network traffic, I don't need it. I just need to check this because of (man route) NOTE: The specified gateway must be reachable first. This usually means that you have to set up a static route to the gateway beforehand. [19:26] ActionParsnip: why ????? [19:26] !ppa | chillindave [19:26] chillindave: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [19:26] hi, who can tell me how to use webcam in pidgin, i just cant [19:27] ActionParsnip: that card is well supported, why does he need a PPA ? [19:27] ActionParsnip: have you even checked if he's using the nvidia drives ? [19:27] greezmunkey: ip route get does the trick :) [19:27] ActionParsnip: you finding chromium process still active after closing the window??? I am, over and over again, killing it is getting old too, just when I thought I had found the browser from hell [19:27] ActionParsnip, Thank you! [19:27] nunojpg: Isn't network traffic the goal! [19:27] chillindave: Rapache looks neat [19:27] ikonia, I installed nvidia drivers by "hand" that *.run file from nvidia website [19:27] Almoxarife: not that I know of. Seems fine, I'll check next time === zleap1 is now known as zleap [19:27] greezmunkey: not really, I may want to setup the route when the network is down... [19:28] koe: that could very well be the problem then [19:28] and I still have the problem even with 480p videos :| [19:28] webcam in pidgin, please [19:28] well I used the restricted drivers ... [19:28] Koe; +1 to what ikonia said [19:28] nunojpg: ok [19:28] and I had problems ... [19:28] brianherman: dude tab complete, and i have installed chrome on my ubuntu setup [19:28] brianherman, Yeah, but it's not working correctly ATM. He hasn't updated it since the version just prior to 9.04. I've written a tutorial on how to "fix" it so it will run, but it's hackish. [19:28] hmm ... should I remove the drivers ? [19:28] brianherman, He got burnt out on it and it's been dead since late 2008. [19:28] and use the restricted drivers instead ? [19:28] Koe: use the nvidia ppa and install nvidia-glx-180 and you will get the 195 driver [19:28] ActionParsnip: please do, I am left with a 530meg chromium task still active nears every time I close it [19:29] is ubuntu server 9.10 only available in 64bit ? I see that on the download page, but no sign of the 32 bit version [19:29] Almoxarife: gimme a sec. [19:29] cub-: the i386 version should be there too [19:29] mikster04: cool [19:29] webcam in pidgin, how to make it run? please. [19:29] maike-makoto: pidgin does not support webcam afaik [19:29] transposed, 350meg, wanna be fair [19:30] cub-:http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso [19:30] ohh, i was here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server [19:30] thanks brianherman [19:30] Almoxarife: just closed it after some casual browsing (no flash) and its not running [19:30] cub-:np [19:31] how to install qt4 ? [19:31] later y'all [19:31] ActionParsnip: thnks, must be me [19:31] hello! [19:31] Almoxarife: let me try flash stuff [19:32] some one aready have installed a webcam ID: 093a:2620 on ubuntu? [19:32] Almoxarife: no its all gone, 64bit here with no java plugin [19:32] brianherman: the same ISO image for installation can also be used as a live-cd one, correct? [19:32] cub-: on your original page you can click on "alternative download options" ... [19:32] ActionParsnip: 32 here with java [19:33] Almoxarife: try without java plugin just to test [19:33] on my 9.10 the webcam is installed and get de device /dev/video0 but on skype the test button don't work [19:33] guntbert: i see === neph is now known as poulpe [19:33] so unlike CentOS that needs a separate ISO for livecd, ubuntu regular installation iso can also be used to run straight from the cd, correct?

There is an alternate disk which will install in text mode [19:34] cub-:yes!

[19:36] Leighton1: basically you need root section and somesize swap so hibernate and some other functions work properly (swap should be around twice of ram) [19:36] Leighton1: if you want to install ubuntu to it, just delete the partition. This will destroy the data [19:37] if I run ubuntu straight from the CD without installation, I can still add packages and software....they just wont' stay after a reboot, right?

My system is installed on sda, and I have 4 disks on raid10 mounted separately. The raid seems degraded and now if I boot with the disks connected the kernel wants absolutely to rebuild the array and it seems to slow the boot to a halt. If I deconnect the drives the system boots normally. How can I tell the kernel not to start the raid detection ?... [19:56] ...(raid=noautodetect doesn't seem to work) [19:56] Furythor: chmo +x makes it executable [19:56] buttons840: rm -r [19:58] ActionParsnip, furythor typo above -- "chmod +x" makes it executable [19:59] ZykoticK9 [20:00] SeaPhor: Thanks. :) [20:00] I've tried to boot with livecd , ad rebuild the raid by hand, but once again it takes hours. The question is that even if the system rebuilds the array it shouldn't prevent the boot. I've even removed the disk from the fstab list.

Only showing 10% use now. ;-D Any idea what would have caused it? It suddenly said I had a couple gigs free, and then a few seconds later I had none.

First, I uninstalled Wine via the Ubuntu Software Center, but it is still showing up in the start menu with Wine folder, Programs subfolder, and the Apple Software Update item. How do I completely remove these things and everything related to Wine on my system? [21:03] hi [21:04] i have Ubuntu 9.04, i need to get Update Manager to stop nagging me [21:04] i compile a lot of applications from source, and i think i sort of messed up my package manager (to the pointer where a few applications just won't update) [21:04] how can i get update manager to stop nagging me [21:04] update. [21:04] ;) [21:05] it won't let me [21:05] peter_curry, to remove the menu items System / Preferences / Main Menu - and remove/uncheck the wine stuff. In your home directory you should have a .wine folder that contains all the wine settings as well as all the programs you installed using wine. [21:05] peter_curry go to Main menu in System>>Preferences and delet Wine entries, in /home/ folder there is hidden folder .wine [21:05] i hit update, and i get a some packages could not be updated [21:05] then it continues to nag me for not updating [21:05] Hey, I have a problem that may or may not be directly related to Ubuntu. I have 2 computers in my dorm room. One is a Ubuntu box that is a VNC server and the one I am typing on now is Windows. I've been VNC'ing to the Ubuntu box at my dorm and on campus (which are two seperate networks, by the way). Now I am home for the weekend and when I try to connect to my Ubuntu's IP, I get a networked timed out message. My roommate checked, and the IP is t [21:05] Zider: i'm at the point where i think i've recompiled half my system [21:06] zaxonspox, great minds think alike :) [21:06] how can i run firefox / etc in a virtual terminal? I think I've seen this done before with startx [21:07] ZykoticK9 yes :P i just type long [21:07] Linear_Key, the "easy" method would be to create a new user account - then from inside Xorg run "gdmflexiserver" and log in with the new account (GDM won't allows the same user to log in twice anymore) [21:08] did I kill the chat with my question? :-P [21:08] MrD_ can you ping Ubuntu PC? [21:09] "ZykoticK9" and "zaxonspox". OK - I removed items using the menu editor (although it wouldn't let me delete Apple Software Update). I also just delete the ".wine" hidden folder. The items are still showing up the start menu ... What do I do now? [21:09] MrD_ its kind a long question [21:09] I dont quite understand what you asking... [21:09] Hello [21:09] MrD_, i imagine that you are being firewalled out -- ports would have to be open/forwarded for you to connect from offsite [21:09] err how do I do that [21:09] the school's dorm area network and on campus network are different [21:09] think I'm being blocked by my home ISP? [21:09] LIKE - how do you update/refresh the start menu so that it is syncing right with your system? [21:09] peter_curry, the menu won't refresh until you A) log out/ back in or B) "killall gnome-panel" [21:10] ZykoticK9 - ok let me try both ... [21:10] peter_curry, only 1 is required [21:10] ZykoticK9, can you private MSG me and I'll give you the IP to try? [21:10] MrD_ do you try to connect via VNC to your Ubuntu PC from your home Windows PC or from school? [21:10] I am trying to install ubuntu 9.10 from livecd I have downloaded from the ubuntu site but after booting up it is asking for user name and password [21:11] I can't find it [21:11] MrD_, sorry man can't help you test i'm affraid [21:11] Does anyone know -- in chrome -- is there a way to make it so that the tabs don't get all squashed together? In firefox, they are always about the same size, even if you have 100 tabs open. So is it possible to make the tabs in chrome be fixed instead of tiny? [21:11] my Ubuntu PC is always tethered at my dorm. I connect from my Windows PC at school and it works fine [21:11] now, about 20 miles away, I cannot get the connection [21:11] neither through VNC nor Windows's native app, which both work on campus, which again is a seperate network connection from my dorm room [21:12] ZykoticK9 - I tried "killall gnome-panel" in terminal - it's still there ... [21:12] I figured that out because it stopped working when they refreshed the IPs at the end of the week and I couldnt connect back on campus [21:12] MrD_: Sounds like a firewall issue [21:12] any know ubuntu 9.10 live cd username and password [21:12] through my ISP right?

Let me reinstall Wine - and then I have another question regarding Clamtk Virus Scanner ...

How do I tell the program is working? If I go the start menu now - and hit "Browse C-Drive" under the Wine menu - and nothing happens - is that bad sign?

[21:34] picky: Right. Instead of choosing to install ubuntu, choose the "check CD for defects" option [21:34] thanks guntbert. [21:34] picky: if you're using the live cd, then you need to check the md5sum of your iso. If that checks out, reburn your iso at 2 or 4x and run "check the cd for defects" [21:34] Heya! I was asking how to keep my home dir private earlier today, when there are multiple users SSHing into the machine and I don't want user B to be able to read user A:s home dir [21:34] calum: sounds like a driver bug. test with a 10.04 beta cd and see if its fixed there yet, but if its not then run "ubuntu-bug linux" from there to submit a bug report about it [21:34] peter_curry, run "wine" in a terminal will perhaps generate the .wine folder then [21:34] so you mean cd has defeacts [21:34] no jrib screenprotection is enabled during install [21:34] maco: I have Lucid in a virtual machine, shall I test that with the headphones?

Thanks [21:55] blindmind: create a filter with thunderbird or use afterbuy [21:55] blindmind you need to configure autoresponses [21:55] I've been having problem with Clamtk Virus Scanner 4.15 (the GUI). I've uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times. But here is the problems I've been having with it off and on: won't update signatures (telling me updates failed), stalling at about 8% while scanning the entire file system (although scanning the home directory works fine), and I also need to know how to scan the entire file system using terminal [21:55] commands. First of all, would it be best to simply completely uninstall and reinstall Clamtk 4.15 with the best method possible? Can anyone help me with these things? [21:55] zaxonspox: configure autoresponses where? [21:55] zaxonspox: that's not the point...i'm looking for less-working-ways, as i'm gonna do it as a favor, it was pointed out to me that in "acess"(or openoffice thing) its almost all done, its just simple to write in database. by the way i'm not gonna install apache there [21:55] iceroot: thanks ill look into it. would gmail filters work too or no? [21:55] peter_curry: why you are using the virus-scanner? [21:55] ey how do i fix the browsing problem with youtube [21:55] blindmind: sure, if your paypal mails go there [21:55] blindmind: in a mail client, almost every should have such thing [21:56] jfoozie420: what do you think is missing in your question? === tropsobor is now known as hail86 [21:56] xjkx OO Base it is, and ok, it will be simple [21:56] iceroot: People say the Linux is pretty immune, but that does not mean that viruses do not still exist out there for Linux. So I still run a virus scanner periodically. It's just personal preference ... [21:56] !details | jfoozie420 [21:56] jfoozie420: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:57] i know its really blunt but i cant browse [21:57] peter_curry: you dont need a virus-scanner for linux [21:57] !virus | peter_curry [21:57] peter_curry: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [21:57] through the time bar, like switching from the first thirty seconds to the next [21:57] jfoozie420, are you using 64bit Ubuntu? [21:58] yeah, does having a 64-bit have anything to do with it [21:58] jfoozie420, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working [21:58] HI: somebody could help me??? ubuntu pass troubles [21:58] no anti virus needed for linux lol [21:58] jfoozie420, yes 64bit has something to do with it ;) [21:58] Is it possible to have a partition dedicated to my desktop? (/home/username/Desktop) [21:58] Newbie89: concret [21:59] i tried to install this program and the computer said i needed windows 98 or higher what do i do???? [21:59] NinoScript: sure, just mount it to the path [21:59] NinoScript: but why? [21:59] NinoScript, of course, you can mount a partition anywhere on the filesystem you want [21:59] NinoScript: its better to have a partition for /home [21:59] NinoScript, using a partition for /home -- iceroot got it first [21:59] thanks zyko [21:59] philip_: what program? [21:59] well i readed my doble keys files priv and pub after that ubuntu doesn't recognice my pass === thefallen_ is now known as Guest44111 [22:00] JK I am too much of a linux fan to use microcrap.. [22:00] is there any patch code i can put up on firefox to fix that issue though? [22:00] i don't know if i made the mistake on the ops of a command [22:00] just looking in here to see what kind of topics are talked about [22:00] jfoozie420, it's an issue with flash not firefox [22:01] zaxonspox: thanks. but they run windows, i run ubuntu. i will export it to Access from openoffice and they run there and we all end up happy, is that it ? the server machine will have mysql, and the clients will write on it trhough access if i got it right [22:01] xjkx: why not using something real instead of base or access? [22:01] do you speak polish ? [22:01] just getting into UBUNTU command line [22:02] !pl | hubert_ [22:02] hubert_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego.

[22:02] How can you disable the need to input a password for gksudo. [22:02] Can someone help me out with the minimize-restore delay (ATI)? [22:02] iceroot: if by something real you mean i will work more, no thanks :p its a favor man, i'm not gonna get paid [22:02] ok light :) ;p [22:02] Before you say it, no I don't care about security [22:02] Newbie89 write it here [22:02] dam, anyone having a problem clicking on certain flash objects on their browser then? [22:02] xjkx: ok [22:02] jfoozie420: no [22:03] bye all [22:03] omg|its|otr: but we care abourt security [22:03] jfoozie420, i already sent you a link to the fix... [22:03] jfoozie420 i have had also on 64 bit [22:03] took forever to get the rdesktop command [22:03] iceroot, my computer won't be connected to the internet. [22:03] K on command line : chmod 700 ~/.ssh [22:03] omg|its|otr: how mayn times you need the sudo-password? [22:04] after that ssk-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 [22:04] oh for sure, can you resend that link bro i totally didnt catch that [22:04] man...someone please help me. I am using cheese for surveilence, and so many times the recordings are faulty; the video file doesn't play, but you can forward through it, and the first few minutes are all blank, and it isn't recorded for the whole time(like 30mins instead of 2 hrs [22:04] ssh-keygen [22:04] my bad lol [22:04] jfoozie420, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working [22:04] iceroot: Thanks for article. That is the most thorough explanation I have gotten so far. The article still stated that "experimental" Linux viruse still exist, though. There may come a day when someone geek learns Linux well enough to create virus with a reproduction rate greater than its death rate. Yes, the chances of that today are slim, because of the simple fact that more people use Windows PCs. So hackers and [22:04] virus code writes are going to have a higher success rate by attacking Windows PCs - because more people have them. So the article does ease my fears and explain things clearly. It will probably lead to me running Clamtk a lot less and worrying about it less. I would still like to get my Clamtk 4.15 running properly, though ... [22:04] Home stores settings too, right? I want a partition only for documents/movies/music [22:05] Look, I understand the risks, I don't normally even use Ubuntu, I'm just using it for an HTPC, I've already changed the sudoers file so that all users don't need a password, gksudo just confuses me - I understand the risks, iceroot, but please just tell me how to do it if you know. [22:05] after that ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 [22:05] Newbie89 that couldnt do anything to the local logon, or do you have problems with loging via ssh? [22:05] would someone go here http://www.myspanishlab.com/assets/Browser_Check/browser_check.html and tell if there is a way to use this site for my class? [22:05] peter_curry: just remove clamav, its useless on linux [22:05] thanks u [22:05] iceroot: OK - what are you thoughts behind that? Why is it ineffective as a program? [22:05] omg|its|otr: again, for what you need root? [22:06] no i just can install anything [22:06] hi are there other tools i can use to scan a drive for errors rather than e2fsck. its ext2 partition. locks up when performaing gparted actions [22:06] peter_curry: because there is no need :) [22:06] peter_curry, not because most people use Windows, but because Windows is less secure. But yeah, more virus' are designed for windows [22:06] tp43: all [22:06] iceroot, true. [22:06] iceroot, shutting down, running freevo's fullscreen X sessions without going through all the effort of properly permission-izing everything. [22:06] peter_curry ther are aboout 2000 of virus-like programs on linux [22:06] iceroot: yes, I am utilitarian myself. Believe me. [22:07] omg|its|otr: for shutdown you dont need gksudo [22:07] ask me for my pass and i intro it but says incorrect pas ihaven been using it for 3 months [22:07] Linux is more secure too though. And it is open source so there aren't a bunch of back doors coding in it [22:07] zaxonspox: OK - where were you going with that statement? I like the conversation. I'm learning ... [22:07] iceroot, I didn't ask for recommendations on how to be more secure. I've got a quick and dirty fix, and I just need a piece of information. [22:07] no probs [22:07] But I could swear some fishy business is happenning to me with. I use cheese for surveilence, and sometimes it craps out [22:07] The computer's not connected to the internet, so security is irrelevant. [22:07] ey u guys are killer thanks a bunch, ill brbr [22:07] omg|its|otr: and i can say you that something like that is not supported here, we dont support insecure ways [22:08] I monitor my kitchen to prevent food tampering and consequently diahreah [22:08] Newbie89 run Ubuntu in recovery mode, you will get root priviliges to change your pass [22:08] I live in shared accomadation [22:08] iceroot, THEN SAY IT. Stop wasting my time, if you're going to help, then help, if not, say so. [22:08] omg|its|otr: just learn how to use linux correctls, you dont need root for it [22:08] omg|its|otr: as i said, there is no support [22:08] omg|its|otr, not going to help, go away [22:09] zaxonspox: So there about 2000 Linux viruses, you are saying? And what was your point? [22:09] omg|its|otr: i guess people at #debian dont care about it but in #ubuntu we dont support it [22:09] peter_curry i read it somewher, this cout was to show how less viruses are for linux, also if you are private user, you have nothing to worry about [22:09] Oh? The people in #debian are useful? Thanks. [22:10] iceroot, ZykoticK9: I want a "data only" partition. I mean, only for documents/movies/music, absolutely no kind of settings/preferences. I think /home will store my account preferences and such, right? [22:10] linux viruses? never heard that b4 [22:10] zaxonspox: OK - and thanks for info. I like learning this stuff. And when you say "private user" - you mean that your account is password-protected, your network encrypted (mine is double-encrypted), etc. ? [22:10] NinoScript, correct [22:10] NinoScript: correct [22:10] cheese is crapping out on me, oh lord have mercy [22:11] iceroot, ZykoticK9: then, what do you recommend? :D [22:11] exit [22:11] peter_curry: i mean if you PC is not a server of some company [22:11] I think I better just buy a video camera not on a pc [22:11] instead of this webcam business [22:11] NinoScript: mount something in home for the data like /home/username/Documents [22:11] NinoScript, you could create a directory like "storage" in your home directory and mount into it [22:11] zaxonspox: OK - so are essentially talking about a home user with a secured network. I got it. [22:12] peter_curry: with non-private we mean server-installations [22:12] peter_curry: even there you dont have to worry about viruses [22:13] peter_curry: you just need a virus-scanner if you are hosting a mail or samba-server with windows-client, for nothing else is clamav [22:13] zaxonspox: i have't finished my sesion cause i think i wont can logon again i'm afraid of that === jfoozie420 is now known as swishatwista [22:14] hello everyone [22:14] peter_curry: ther are professional AV software, but only for managing Windows clients AV soft or like iceroot said [22:14] Are others on this forum of the same opinion about there being no need for a virus scanner with Linux? If anyone on here uses a virus scanner - why do you use it, what types of viruses has it detected (I got some Mozilla file detected one), and had you previously understood the lack of need for a virus scanner before becoming a consistant user of Clamtk? [22:14] peter_curry: you don't need a virus scanner [22:14] !virus > peter_curry [22:14] peter_curry, please see my private message [22:14] COME IN #e3b AND SAY ALLAH OUAKBAR ! :) IT'S FUN! COME IN #e3b and say ALLAH OUAKBAR ! YOU COULD WIN A PRIZE !!! :) GO TO #e3b AND SAY THE TWO WORDS: ALLAH OUAKBAR! YOU COULD WIN INSTANTLY !! COME RIGHT NOW TO #e3b AND SAY THE WORD ALLAH OUAKBAR ! [22:14] iceroot, ZykoticK9: when I mount another partition (by clicking in the Places menu) it appears on my desktop with an HD icon, instead of appearing like a folder. what's the difference? how do I do that instead? [22:14] peter_curry: as i said, only if there are windows-clients [22:15] theres no need brother for one, theres a reason i switched to ubuntu [22:15] i'm stuck in here at this point [22:15] iceroot: yeah, I understand that now. That's good stuff. [22:15] !virus > ruthgard [22:15] ruthgard, please see my private message [22:15] peter_curry: ikonia is an #ubuntu op, is that a good second opinion? [22:15] peter_curry, basically the only reason to run virus scanning on linux is for the benefit of Windows users on other systems, that's it [22:16] iceroot: yes, I think that would be THE BEST second opinion !!! [22:16] peter_curry: after mine :) [22:16] NinoScript, if you wanted to create a regular mount -- use fstab to mount the drive to where you want it [22:16] I just accidentally clicked "create partition table" in gparted. now it says it's unallocated for the whole hard drive. but it seems my files still exit. Will all file disappear if I restart? Should I do anything about it? [22:16] !fstab > NinoScript [22:16] NinoScript, please see my private message [22:17] andrevq57, if you didn't click "apply" yet, you're ok [22:17] zaxonspox: I also understand about "private user" related to being more on a company server (server installations) [22:17] andrenvq57 dont click apply and will be ok [22:17] ZykoticK9: what would be the difference? [22:17] in need to be able to use this website http://www.myspanishlab.com/assets/Browser_Check/browser_check.html but firefox can't pass the browser check would someone have a look and see if there is a way, please? [22:17] coachj - try it in chrome/chromium [22:17] NinoScript, using fstab the drive will mount on boot - and appear like a regular folder instead of an icon on your desktop [22:18] the "apply" button is grayed. I did not click, but it says there is no pending action. [22:18] i could do that. [22:18] use wine and emulate explorer [22:18] ZykoticK9: and that also makes total sense. A virus we acquire on our computer may not affect our system, but then if it's e-mailed via a Windows client to a Windows user - they have a greater ability of being affected - especially if they are using an e-mail provider that does not have good antivirus protection built into their system (for example, Yahoo! is really good about this) ... [22:18] I'm just on the verge of giving up on this samba stuff. I've finally got it so the netbook can see the folders I'm sharing on my pc. But it can't open any of them for some stupid reason. [22:18] you use my labs too huh? i got that crap for class as well [22:18] zaxonspox: u recomend me that turn off my pc and relogin in safe mode to test???? [22:18] coachj, I would try chrome or wine. [22:18] andrevq57 then your machine is fine [22:18] iceroot, ZykoticK9: thankyou both for the information :) [22:19] NinoScript: you are welcome [22:19] thanks a lot. it scared heck out of me. [22:19] swishatwista: yeah hate having to use windoze [22:19] coachj: it's called "windows" [22:19] Newbie89: soryy, need to go for 15 min, aske some else, or wait [22:19] ikonia: Noooooooo [22:19] zaxonspox: u recomend me that turn off my pc and relogin in safe mode to test???? [22:19] ikonia: please watch your language here and dont say such words ;) [22:20] using ie6 in wine isn't a very good option, as most sites are gradually phasing out support for ie6 [22:20] haha [22:20] Newbie89 try or aske someone else [22:20] Hey guys, so I am wanting to learn linux. Will Ubuntu be a good place to start. [22:20] iceroot: yes, after yours :) Being on this chat room kicks ass - because you encounter Linux users who really know what they are talking about. Forget searching Google or other crap for solutions. You just have to be patient with people responding to you with their messages. And learn how to operate in this chat room efficiently, of course :) [22:20] Guegs: yes [22:20] anyone here know of a ubuntu version which works on macbook pro 5.1? [22:20] Guegs: it has a lot of solid documentation [22:20] Guegs: you might want to try #ubuntu-beginners [22:20] Didn't know there was a channel. [22:20] thanks a ton. [22:20] peter_curry: that is how support is working [22:21] K tnx very much zaxonspox [22:21] Guegs: good luck! :) [22:21] ojii: i guess 9.10 [22:21] coachj, looks like that works in chrome, it thinks you are using safari. :) [22:21] Thanks. [22:21] 4 ur help [22:21] hai every one [22:21] ojii: is it x86 or ppc? [22:21] iceroot, just tried, can't even get it to boot into live cd, it's an intel [22:21] first time on irc [22:21] I tried one other time, but got sick of it. Now I am sick of Windows and want to learn something new. [22:21] brandonban6: awesome than you [22:21] I'm about to remove a HD from my system. How can I do so the other drives (sdc sdd) don't change their letter in /dev ? [22:21] ojii: you have some errors? [22:21] iceroot, black screen with white blinking cursor [22:21] off to install chrom [22:22] tried nomodeset xforcevesa with no luck [22:22] iceroot: exactly. It is better to have an OS support base of actual users - then constantly having to consult some customer service center. That all becomes bullshit at some point ... [22:22] how can i participate in ubuntu beta testing [22:22] peter_curry: that language is not called for, please control it [22:22] peter_curry: yes but watch your language :) and for just chatting, use #ubuntu-offtopic to keep this channel clean for support [22:23] ikonia: OK - sorry ... will do :) [22:23] the ubuntu community is the single head and shoulders above PClinux, Fedora, Mandriva, Mint (mint is good thogh). [22:23] iceroot: sorry, will do :) [22:23] will some one reply pls [22:23] ganeshredcobra: i guess #ubuntu+1 will know that, that is the beta-channel [22:23] how can I see if my graphics drivers are correct ? [22:23] iceroot: yes, I would actually rather use the support chat room where the standard is cleaner language :) [22:24] someone with some expirience in pass troubles with ubuntu....?????? [22:24] coachj yeah, those are all great distros, but it's nice to use one with such a broad user base like ubu [22:24] !anyone | Newbie89 [22:24] Newbie89: 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? [22:24] you have to find a list of graphics drivers that can be supported by you os [22:24] k tnx [22:25] sorry [22:25] ikonia: now that I know you are an ubuntu op, how do you tell that someone is on here? [22:25] peter_curry: sorry, what do you mean ? [22:25] peter_curry: you cannot, but thats off topic here :-) [22:26] i need help for my scanner canon lide 100 [22:26] n9 [22:26] n8 [22:26] !crosspost | mauri [22:26] mauri: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [22:27] guntbert: ok, I guess that is off-topic. I have that chat room and the beginners one bookmarked now. Thanks :) [22:27] ey where to get to the beginners section?? [22:28] peter_curry: if you need help from the ops please join #ubuntu-ops to ask your question, if you want offtopic chatter, try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:28] Hello Guys.

[23:54] i new to linux ubuntu [23:54] i like to get some help on configuring a ubuntu server [23:54] peace: need any help? go to ubuntu-beginners section === ubuntu__ is now known as awc [23:55] on the website you mean jfoozie [23:55] jfoozie420, they are perfectly fine getting help here bud :) [23:55] Hi, I was wondering if ubuntu netbook remix will work on pentium ii ? [23:55] no irc chat channel join #ubuntu-beginners [23:55] greezmunkey: 2 GB. I never saw any Cache usage before (several months) on this machine. I have been watching several videos and http-downloading a lot in the last 2 days. Uptime is nearly 5 days. [23:55] ok thanks jfoozie [23:55] np [23:56] nice to meet you guys here [23:56] greezmunkey: s/cache/swap [23:56] it's not a big support issue, i'd guess... but I am really curious, what my computer is doing. [23:56] hmw: yeah, I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless you are running something over and over that has a memory leak, the system will re-allocate ram as needed. [23:57] i reinstalled windows on my machine (after it got all nice and corrupted as windows loves to do) however after using my live CD to fix the mbr I no longer see the grub screen, all I get is a message stating that i can use the tab key to search for commands and the grub> Any suggestions? [23:58] hmw: this may help.. http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [23:58] bastid_raZor: heh [23:58] !grub | awc [23:58] awc: 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. [23:59] yes, thats what i did [23:59] greezmunkey: well... i will continue watching. What really makes me a little nervous is the swap usage of 500 MB, when I had zero apps running. My system load is between 1 and 2 constantly, with almost 0% cpu usage.
