[00:05] hmw: ah, it has been awhile since i've looked at the page [00:05] bastid_raZor: i can't turn of swap, so I think, the memory leak theory applies. [00:06] it says: /dev/sda2 cannot allocate memory [00:06] hmw: does top show where the memory has went? [00:07] nvm i googled it :-) [00:07] bastid_raZor: buffers [00:07] When I play games in ZSNES the sound becomes distorted after playing for about a minute - anyone have any similar issues ?

[00:10] i had a debian install do that once - had to start x manually the first time [00:10] ok, i'll try that and hopefully I wont have to come back!

[00:19] well, I guess what I really wanted to ask was, which would be the most secure [00:19] the_file openBSD [00:20] barbaric: why is that the most secure? [00:20] do you know what happend with the KernelMainlineBuilds http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ why is there only the 2.6.33 kernel, but not the lastest stable, 2.6.33.2?

[00:22] d33d, run iotop and marvel [00:22] d33d, well.. what do you need to do? [00:22] magicianlord - true, but actually that is their general reputation [00:22] seriously, iotop kicks ass, makes upgrading to 9.10 worth it [00:22] ok [00:22] funkycat90210, iotop and marvel? [00:22] not that we'd go by that either, but it says something [00:23] d33d, Run: sudo apt-get install iotop then run iotop [00:23] Hello again [00:23] I have 10 or so servers so I'm constantly looking at disk performance [00:23] i have a pid in a file and i want to kill -hup 'cat /foo/file' but that doe snot read the file content but takes the string 'cat ...' as a whole [00:23] is openBSD command line only or does it have a gui?. [00:23] funkycat90210, what's iotop do? [00:24] d33d, tells you which process(es) are hogging disk [00:24] funkycat90210, interesting....there's a HUGE list. [00:24] d33d, what exactly are you wanting to do, rather than just asking "what should i do"... what do you normally use a computer for... try to do those things. [00:24] geez [00:24] hi all [00:24] Ken8521, How about where can I contribute sir? [00:24] lo [00:24] lo [00:24] hey [00:24] yeah if you dont care about server performance, iotop is boring [00:24] the_file i think the default wm in openbsd is icewm [00:25] Ken8521, put that in your pipe and smoke it [00:25] or fwm [00:25] is there a way to add graphs on panel which display real time info of my cpu disk memory and network usage [00:25] one of those lightweight ones [00:25] Ken8521, I'm just kidding :D [00:25] d33d, well, you're where you can contribute, but you can't even ask a question.. let alone answer one [00:25] the_file: you dont run gui on a server but its available [00:25] the_file: you can build kde or gnome from ports if you prefer [00:25] is there anything in ubuntu that would allow me to restrict web access to certain times, or restrict web access to certain domains at certain times.. ie. block facebook between 9am and 1pm and allow between 1pm and 2pm and block from 2pm to 6pm ? [00:25] lo [00:25] http://pastebin.com/KYAM82Pw whats wrong with my xorg.conf? im trying to run 3 monitors! [00:26] something wrong to configure the printer [00:26] im trying with SAMBA [00:26] Bizzeh: You can make a cron job that changes the /etc/hosts file and sets them to 127.0.0.1 [00:26] funkycat90210, could not find package marvel ... ? [00:26] And recognize it [00:26] but when i click next not go [00:26] its a bug? [00:27] why do people love "cron" jobs and what do they do? [00:27] man cron? [00:27] d33d, i meant marvel as in the verb marvel [00:27] funkycat90210, nice. I fail. [00:27] maya1: didnt think of that, could have block.hosts and normal.hosts and change a hardlink of /etc/hosts to either one depending on the time of day [00:27] d33d: cron jobs execute programs at certain time intervals, they are good for setting up recurring tasks [00:27] maya1, so like a 1000 x times better "task scheduler" [00:28] Bizzeh: Yeah, you could also have it redirect you to somewhere more productive :) [00:28] I use screen a lot, is there anything that does the same thing? just curious, screen is perfect so far [00:28] sudo startx seemed to start working at first but i get a white bar at top and bottomm of the screen and the mouse then the terminal comes back saying "failed to load module "i830"(modual does not exist) [00:28] http://pastebin.com/KYAM82Pw whats wrong with my xorg.conf? im trying to run 3 monitors! [00:28] maya1: probably google.com :P [00:28] my boss has asked me to restrict our telesales staff's work time messing around [00:28] seems they are always on facebook and on the phone to their boyfriends [00:28] Bizzeh: firewall [00:29] what do i have to install in order to be able to be able to share files with windows/// [00:29] Do you think that i should just format and reinstall or is there a terminal fix for modual i830 missing?? [00:29] so he has told them hes recording their calls from now on, and monitoring their web activity... wants me to do something more concreat though [00:29] magicianlord: "firewall" doesnt help [00:29] nimbiotics, samba is pretty easy.. [00:29] i have firewalls [00:29] For printing wirelessly with Brother MFC-665CW, how did you guys do it (if you have one)? [00:30] none of them allow for scheduled blocking of domains... they allow everything, or nothing [00:30] It should help if you restrict access to those websites. That is one purpose of a firewall. [00:30] as want them to be able to access certain sites [00:30] Bizzeh: you could change ufw rules with cron as well [00:30] ok i have a question - right now, I'm running Ubuntu via VMware Workstation....its nice but I'd really like to go full bore and do a full install.... however, my wireless card is mean... its a broadcom... it installs but I have frequent issues with it - it seems... what's the best solution? [00:30] but we want them to be able to access them durin their lunch [00:30] Ken8521: im a noob; just install the samba synaptyc packg??? [00:30] No, don't allow access to those sites at all. [00:30] http://pastebin.com/KYAM82Pw whats wrong with my xorg.conf? im trying to run 3 monitors! [00:30] That's the better policy. [00:31] nimbiotics, hold on, i'll get you a link that will help a lot [00:31] Ken8521: thx [00:31] magicianlord: no, the better policy is to allow staff freedom within their own personal time... their lunch is their personal time [00:31] if they want to waste it on facebook, so be it [00:31] is there a software whcih tells us which ports are open on our laptop [00:31] this is how my boss wants it... for morale and stuff [00:31] nimbiotics, are the linux and windows OS's that need access to the shared folders, online at the same time? [00:31] sudo startx seemed to start working at first but i get a white bar at top and bottomm of the screen and the mouse then the terminal comes back saying "failed to load module "i830"(modual does not exist) [00:31] Ken8521: yes [00:31] ok [00:32] Blizzeh: Company computers are to be used for business purposes only while at work. [00:32] In shell, $FOO contains a file name. how do I strip the extension off of it? [00:32] in your business, maybe [00:32] not in mine [00:32] is there a "snap" feature like in Windows 7 for ubuntu? [00:32] roark: netstat -l should do it [00:32] Blizzeh: Your boss needs to learn about proper HR management then. [00:32] in my business, we can do wtf we want in our own lunch...

[00:33] magicianlord: he does, this is why we have a low staff turnover, a large staff base, and several thousand happy customers due to a happy staff base [00:33] we know what we are doing [00:33] my boss fixed the facebook abuse problem by 1. sent out a memo not to use unauthorized sites 2. fired the first abuser problem solved [00:33] Ken8521: thank you very much!!! [00:33] just because your stuck in the stoneage of "do as i say or else" doesnt mean thats the only way to deal with the problem [00:33] maya1: nice :) [00:34] allowing certain freedoms makes staff happy [00:34] happy staff sell more [00:34] the ot police is out of house today [00:34] is there a tracert equeivelent in linux?.

[00:35] Blizzeh: Cetainly those successes are not attributable to allowing your employees to mess around on the internet on company time, particularly morale. [00:36] hi [00:36] magicianlord: how about the last time we made a blanket ban on web access during work hours... we lost half our staff? [00:36] the_file: ahh, no. [00:36] why i cant click on next to configure the printer? [00:36] "unable to work under such restrictive conditions" [00:36] im using the SAMBA to connect to the printer [00:36] Fab, let it load or something.

That's cool. [00:43] What day is that exactly and time. [00:43] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule doesnt say the time [00:44] roark: in a terminal, type gnome-nettool for some fun :) [00:44] maya1, yes i read in the man page and it says -l is for listening connections ...but do we know, given a connection, if it is initiated by our computer or someone outside....ex: if a socket says connected how can we know if connection was initiated by us or someone outside [00:44] I really have to get out more... [00:44] greezmunkey, sure thats what i am having now... fun [00:45] Why doesn't Ubuntu include VLC as the default media player, when it is clearly supeior?

[01:06] lo [01:06] Hey guys, So I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 GNOME on a dell laptop runnind dell wireless 1405 N card, When i put the DVD in and say "try without installing" a message comes up and saysRestricted Drivers avaialble and if i choose to activate my wireless card works but when i actually install ubuntu i get no such message and when i follow blog posts and tutorials to use the ndsiwrapper it still... [01:06] ...doesnt work can anyone give me a hand? [01:07] Perceptron, go into System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers. [01:07] Perceptron: download the driver and compile [01:07] There you can select them, if they are available. [01:07] Perceptron: or install from synaptic package manager [01:08] Solar_Flare: does installing from the applet ever work for you? it never has worked properly for me. had to use synaptic. [01:08] magicianlord: I have not been able to find it from the synaptic package manager but never tries what Solar_Flare said [01:08] magic_ninja420, works like ay charm for me [01:08] try to see if it shows the hardware in the applet then, Perceptron [01:08] Perceptron: yeah, youl have to figure out what chipset the wireless adapter is. You could try typing lspci in a terminal for starters [01:09] hi [01:09] does anyone know of any CLI ISO burners? [01:10] well the chipset i can find directly from dells website [01:10] yow? === Jamie is now known as Guest62728 [01:11] Pakyaw: are we having fun yet?

[01:12] CD/DVD Creator [01:12] Does alsa-project domain just expire? [01:12] to find the chip set look at it at the website of the manufacturer or if its a wireless dongle type the model of it and the version [01:12] meoblast001: cdrecord [01:12] cp, or Brasero i thin is what its called [01:12] ok, thanks [01:13] meoblast001: brassero is the program that is integrated in nautilus i believe. try to do man brassero or brassero -h [01:13] tenmiles: i don't have a working GUI [01:13] tenmiles: Brasero is not a CLI app [01:13] k3b?

[01:17] what is the model number of the card [01:17] hiexpo: It works if i jsut "try ubuntu" from teh CD the restricted driver message pops up but when i actually install it i get nothing === radar3d-away is now known as radar3d [01:17] ubuntunation: zip is an universal standard so you don [01:17] mneptok: not sure [01:17] Perceptron: have you fully updated the system? [01:17] 't need any magic tricks [01:17] hiexpo: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R151519&SystemID=InspironI6400/E1505&servicetag=7C6BXB1&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=12300&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=4&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=5&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=202138 [01:17] mneptok: yep [01:18] Perceptron, sorry, you may have already said this - what model is it? [01:18] if i need to open it u ubuntu ubuntu is jar ok samitheberber or you advise zip all ways any Os? [01:18] Perceptron: System>Admin>Hardware drivers has nothing? [01:18] mneptok: nope [01:18] d33d: its the link i jsut sent dell wireless 1500 n [01:18] Perceptron: is the wireless disabled via a hardware key combo being pressed? [01:18] mneptok: nope [01:18] Perceptron, I mean .... is this like on a laptop? ... model of laptop? [01:19] Perceptron: you see the device in the output of lspci? [01:19] d33d: Dell Inspiron 16400 [01:19] d33d: it's a BCM43** [01:19] Perceptron, I'm on a Dell 1545 and I have the same issue. I've re-downloaded a new ISO and it worked. [01:19] mneptok: i think since this system is close to screwed up anyways, my best bet is to just remove the Ubuntu Xorg and recompile mine, and see what happens [01:19] Can I get a newbie support here? [01:19] mneptok: i didnt when i checked im jsut reinstalling ubuntu again atm so i cant check [01:19] ubuntunation: I didn't understand what are you asking.. so do I prefer zip or some other format, or what? [01:20] Perceptron: if it's not listed in lspci then the card is disabled via the BIOS or a keyboard keypress [01:20] d33d: This is the 4th iso i tried (i downloaded, got it from a server at school, got 1 from a friend :() [01:20] 52 megs for a driver geez somrthing wrong with that [01:20] mneptok: I dont get the card i get something "unknown" if my meory serves me correctly but ill check again as soon as this install finishes [01:21] Perceptron, Interesting. Can you connect it to the Internet, run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, reboot and then try Restricted Hardware .... that got mine working. [01:22] d33d: Will do as soon as it finishes [01:22] thats whats wrong [01:22] Perceptron, lame it takes so long to update :( :P [01:23] d33d: as long as it gets my internet to work and i dont have to put windows back on it im happy :D [01:23] is it a built in card ? [01:23] yep [01:24] its not a usb or anything [01:24] laptop [01:24] yep [01:24] I'd like to do that... but I have too many apps that require windows and Im too lazy to see if they work on wine.

[01:42] don't get put on the nob list just listen turn off your laptop go and blow it out with a air compressor [01:43] microlith : yes i read it of course. But what i'am thinking is that i am going to add 2 lines "userlist_enable" into the vsFTPd.conf file, but I'm not sure what "using the sendfile() system call" means.. So i'm asking for precision if possible [01:43] Polopanos: type ufw help [01:44] hi [01:44] k, thanks [01:44] usser: No, it's not. ufw is installed and disabled by default.

I'm trying to install sogo package on karmic, but it needs libssl0.8.9k and karmic comes with 0.8.9g. I've found Lucid have the version I need. How can I install it? I've tryed adding lucid as source at source.list later apt-get update and apt-get -t lucid install libssl with no luck... [01:46] my Aspire One grilled when I installed Ubuntu 9.10 :X [01:47] But why is this happening? This is latest Ubuntu, why all the problems? Why downgrade to 8.10? [01:47] dantix: mixing repositories from different versions of Ubuntu isn't supported by this channel. If you need a newer version, look for a PPA of it or wait two weeks for Lucid. [01:47] Hey folks, fresh install of 9.10 here and burning an iso to cd fails with http://paste.ubuntu.com/416397/. Any ideas how to fix this?? [01:47] rww: thanks, by the way what is PPA? [01:47] Using k3b by the way [01:48] dantix, personal package archive [01:48] Can someone give me a teeny bit of help with setting up apache2? [01:48] think of mini-repositories that are user-generated [01:48] rww: How do I downgrade to 8.10? [01:48] dantix: Personal Package Archive. Mini-repositories hosted on Launchpad, which is Ubuntu's bugtracker (amongst other things) [01:48] ubottu: downgrade | LetsGo67 [01:48] LetsGo67: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [01:48] TuxOtaku: thx [01:48] LetsGo67: I don't know, and it's a really bad idea anyway. [01:48] rww: thx [01:48] One ubuntu box has a memory leak. How to attack and find it? [01:49] so does anyone have an idea how to fix the flash problem I mentioned? [01:49] well, it was that damn avahi daemon [01:49] rww: How do I use an older kernel? [01:49] My tree tomato plants are only two inches tall, I must have got the bansai variety :( === t is now known as Guest63342 [01:49] LetsGo67: There are unofficial kernel packages at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [01:49] greezmunkey, so...grow cherry tomatoes....nom nom nom. :P [01:50] microlith, - my apologizes it just looked like a porn deal with the addy [01:50] LetsGo67: incidentally, Ubuntu 8.10 reaches end-of-life status at the end of this month, so using it now is probably a bad idea. [01:50] I've tried setting up apache2 on my ubuntu computer - I can get the "It works!" message when browsing to localhost or 192.168.1.67 from the computer I have the server on [01:51] jhambo: looks like you are trying to burn to a DVDRAM [01:51] But I can't connect from a different computer on the same network [01:51] rww: Okay, the 8.10 kernel, can I use it in current release? [01:51] LetsGo67: If you'd like, but as I said, it's unofficial so if you have problems with it, you get to keep both pieces. [01:51] JamieK, try disabling your firewall on the ubuntu box [01:51] lucid_interval: do you mean the cd itself? Because it's definetly a cd (CD-R) not a dvd [01:52] sudo invoke-rc.d iptables stop; sudo invoke-rc.d ufw stop [01:53] jhambo: my bad. device seems to be DVDRAM compatible, medium looks OK. Can't figure the problem. sorry. [01:53] lucid_interval: ah yeah device is a DVDRAM [01:54] <[R]> how do i get to the grub menu when its on silent? [01:54] JamieK: In addition to the firewall possibility, your other machines on the network may not be able to route to your linux box [01:54] jhambo: are you trying anything special - like burning beyond the boundary (larger than what the CD-R should hold)? [01:54] I did this: sudo iptables -F; sudo iptables -t nat -F; sudo iptables -t mangle -F; sudo iptables -X - Should that have worked? [01:55] JamieK: on the apache server, run "netstat -l | grep www" (no quotes) in a terminal window, what does it give you? [01:55] How I can access wine ppa to get the not the latest wine release ? [01:55] tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN [01:56] lucid_interval: no, the image is only like 120 megabytes. I know the dvd writer works because I used it to make my ubuntu installer cd under windows 7... [01:57] I can ping the ubuntu box without any problems, so I don't think its a network issue [01:57] JamieK: shows that it's listening. try "telnet localhost 80" the same way, what happens? [01:58] jhambo: I agree. I would think it should *just work*. If it happened to me, I would try a different medium instance. Not a great answer. [01:58] JamieK: you'll have to ctrl+c, and then type quit to exit... [01:58] jhambo: Maybe others here can help you further. [01:59] lucid_interval: yah tried that. Maybe I different burning program. Unfortunately I think most of the burning programs are just front ends for cdrecord. thanks for the try [01:59] Yep, I can telnet to it from the ubuntu box [01:59] But not from the one I'm trying to connect to it [01:59] JamieK: Did you check ufw in addition to iptables? [02:00] JamieK: lo [02:01] Hello There !! Is there anyone that can help on a Shell command question ?? [02:01] I need to get wine installer from wine PPA, how I can do that ? [02:02] you need to add their keys prior to be able to refresh the list and download wine from there [02:03] Lusitanus: Don't ask to ask, just ask.

[02:04] When I typ "sudo invoke-rc.d iptables stop" I get: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/iptables not found [02:05] Lusitanus: try nano instead [02:05] Lusitanus, you need to press "i" for insert [02:05] JamieK, it appears you don't have iptables installed. [02:05] hold on let me try [02:05] [R]: use shift (its change from legacy grub which was esc) [02:06] Lusitanus: vi is "esoteric" to say the least regarding navigation, inserting text, ect...but is very powerful. [02:07] anyone know a good manual for vi now that its been brought up [02:07] colorlessprism: I hear good things about vimtutor [02:07] I got my problem solved by little bit of google use, but it seems worrying for me it problem is not solved fast [02:07] When I go places>Downloads, I get the error "Could not open location 'file:///home/hamish/Downloads' - No application is registered as handling this file" [02:07] you should try look for cheatsheet, though manual is usually inside vi/vim [02:07] colorlessprism: pleanty on google as well... [02:07] Pici, thanks [02:07] cant seem to make it work...if i press insert it writes a letter... [02:08] greezmunkey, i am wanting a book to sit next to computer im old school like that [02:08] Lusitanus: Shift, :, q! to exit... [02:08] Lusitanus, then its in insert mode, hit enter to create a new line === ogen is now known as tripleb [02:08] maya, should I be able to tell with ping?

[02:14] thank you [02:15] Dantonic, also be sure to check release notes and technical information :D [02:15] /dev/md issue. Something went wrong during the creation of a md device and now Im left left with a /dev/md_d2 device I can't get rid of. Recommendations? [02:16] hatake_kakashi: no u didn't direct it at me. which one was for me> [02:16] nineof7, check dmesg| tail for reasons why, or better yet, check dmesg| grep ntfs [02:17] hatake_kakashi: how do i do that> [02:17] when i press insert then enter, it ads a new line yes but on top of the last one and i need to add 2 final ones after the last one...and cause i messed up inthere how do I exit again...is it Shift + q ?? [02:17] ? [02:17] nineof7, you'll need to open up terminal and type in "dmesg| tail" (without quotes) [02:18] Lusitanus, no hit Esc first and then shift, :, q!, Enter [02:19] hamish, thanks. me=dumb cause I actually figured that out once before. (shakes head) if I ran the zooo [02:20] I'm sorry a newbie question. Are there any differences with upgrading your ubuntu version through the update manager instead of a whole new installation from cd? Any advantages to doing a fresh install? [02:20] tripleb, all good :) [02:20] Dantonic, usually a fresh install is the best way to do things, personally I have never seen ubuntu updates cleanly [02:20] Dantonic: cleaner system, no left over cruft [02:20] thanks t oboth [02:20] . [02:21] aguitel Dantonic yes and no..... however is not windows and you do not need to reload your OS every 5 min [02:21] thank you hatake_kakashi, IdleOne [02:21] Not even with Ubuntu Tweak, a fresh one is better? [02:21] Dantonic: for instance, if you upgrade 9.04->9.10 you wont get grub2, so yes, there will be differences. [02:21] . [02:21] I'm reallly loving this NO-FLASH firefox addon. I just click to load and run a flash area on a webpage and dont have to pay (in loading time) for all the ads. [02:21] Dantonic, and if you're going through update manager, usually you'll end up with a newer package than the ones pre-packed on the cd [02:21] so Bottom line the best way is with a fresh install. [02:21] Dantonic: but also realise that most people upgrade, so it's fully supported and a recommended wa yof doing things. [02:21] hatake_kakashi: it says * [ 225.975886] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 [ 225.978048] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Sense Key : Not Ready [current] [ 225.978057] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Add. Sense: Medium not present * but it IS present!! So ... ? [02:22] Dantonic, yes generally [02:22] microlith : i've added 3 lines in vsftpd.conf file "userlist_enable=YES;userlist_deny=NO;userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.user_list". Then i added an username "utilisateur" in the vsftpd.user_list file. I also did the same with the file vsftpd.chroot_list. But when i try to connect I get the same error. Yes i have read and search through google ! need help ! [02:22] nineof7, I think you'll find that this error is related to the optical drives, not hard drives [02:22] nineof7, pastebin (not paste) your complete dmesg [02:23] Dantonic if youve been noobing around it may be a good idea..... [02:23] hatake_kakashi: yes, but the ntfs partition on my hdd is also gone [02:23] hatake_kakashi: in gparted, the only option i have is to delete it [02:23] nineof7, "sudo fdisk -l" will prove it if that's the scase [02:23] s/scase/case [02:24] nineof7, probably not a good idea to do other things related to the disk whilst a partitioning editor is running [02:25] i change /etc/mysql/my.conf port to something else and it wont work open the port (checked with nmap) if i put 3306 it opens the port :O [02:25] hey guys, I'm having a REALLY weird problem with flash [02:25] i want other port [02:25] I'm on ubuntu karmic [02:25] 32bit [02:25] and whenever I go to any site requiring webcam/mic access, the "allow permission to your webcam" dialog is unclickable [02:25] it's there [02:25] xjkx, you'll need to restart mysqld [02:25] I just can't click on it [02:25] anyone ever seen this problem before? [02:26] hatake_kakashi: i have [02:26] any other flash app with any sort of interaction works. [02:26] hatake_kakashi: i have restarted it, both by service mysql restart and sudo killall mysqld ; sudo mysqld [02:26] i also changed the port in /etc/services and so far nothing [02:26] xjkx, check up other documentation as to where the exact configs are stored for it, and/or ask in #mysql [02:27] Hello all, i need help with my FTP server connection with vsftpd.

I have all the gstreamer packages installed as well as ubuntu rstrcited extras but cant seem to get them to play [02:28] xTheGoat121x, what did you do last? [02:28] hey_you: local_enable Controls whether local logins are permitted or not. If enabled, normal user accounts in /etc/passwd (or wherever your PAM config references) may be used to log in. This must be enable for any non-anonymous login to work, including virtual users. Default: NO [02:28] hatake_kakashi, this is immediately after installation === sam_ is now known as Guest12253 [02:29] xTheGoat121x, of which version?

There's a walkthrough for doing that WITHOUT reinstallation, right? Tryin to save time on a slower PC [02:31] nineof7, you have 4 hard disks and 5 ntfs partitions? I don't understand where the problem is [02:31] xTheGoat121x, reinstalling grub is simple....boot to a live cd, open a terminal, and type sudo grub-install /dev/sda [02:31] xTheGoat121x, there probably is but I wouldn't know off my head and it can turn out to be more of a hassle than for what its worth [02:31] usser : i set the "local enable_yes" and "anonymous_enable=yes" too. But i still have this problem. How do i check PAM config ? [02:32] hatake_kakashi, thanks for the input, I appreciate it [02:32] Hey all, quick question. I'm having some issues getting ubuntu to recognize my usb wireless adapte [02:32] *r [02:32] TuxOtaku, thanks, I'm on it now [02:32] hatake_kakashi: the problem is that i can't access any of them [02:32] ubottu: ntfs [02:32] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:32] LeeAnna, pastebin (not paste) your lsusb output [02:32] Im guessing I need to download and install the proper drivers first but im not sure where i'd find them =/ [02:33] hey_you: did you restart vsftpd after you enabled it? [02:33] nineof7, try what ubottu wrote [02:33] Can I do that from windows? [02:33] LeeAnna, no, don't you have a spare network cable you can plug it in? [02:34] Unfortunately not at the moment. I can boot into ubuntu real quick and do that [02:34] usser : it was already enabled so i didn't restarted vsftpd. I think my problem is with user authorization.

[02:34] k [02:34] with empathy [02:34] LeeAnna, ok, look for FCC ID on the actual dongle itself, it should be in the form of FCC ID: XXXXXXXXX, find it and type it back out to me [02:34] try to login as your real user. and pastebin your vsftpd.conf its hard to troubleshoot without know which options are set [02:35] , [02:35] LeeAnna, what kinda dongle is it model and version ? [02:35] usser : i read a lot of different tutorial but they are all very complicated I think for beginner [02:35] Sec, all the info on it is on the bottom of the adapter [02:36] LeeAnna, ok [02:36] standing on your head lol [02:36] hey_you: vsftpd is dead simple :) [02:36] hatake_kakashi: but the problem is exactly that! Gparted won't let me mount the hdd's, any of them. that option is grayed out [02:36] brb [02:36] k [02:36] nineof7: sudo gparted?? [02:36] gksudo [02:37] usser : ok i past it.

[03:05] sate, of course it is [03:05] oops... crap sorry [03:05] mrwes: sudo ifup eth1 [03:05] Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1. [03:05] nineof7: so we can finnd what whhent wrong [03:06] gbear14275, normally an /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it [03:06] ravigehlot: You can't do it directly. You'd have to copy the data from one to the other, then resize with gparted or similar. [03:06] mrwes: ok I'll try that [03:06] rww: gparted only resizes within it's original partition. I want to do a MERGE. [03:06] gbear14275, sudo of course :) [03:06] ravigehlot: I know. I said already, you can't merge partitions. [03:07] rww: wrong, you can [03:07] usser : i'm trying to connect from windows now. Hope it's going to work ! [03:07] * rww sighs [03:07] gogeta: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/416420/ [03:07] nineof7: wow automounts totaly gone [03:08] hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.com/H9M3j9kb [03:08] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/416420/ someone fix that up for him [03:08] LeeAnna, lol that's a small portion of it, I suppose you were doing it all by hand? [03:09] Unless the particular terminal I used sucked, it "should" have been all of it [03:09] I told it to highlight it all then copy and paste into a text document [03:09] I thought it looked sort of short too =/ [03:10] LeeAnna, no that's a very small portion but fyi you could make it redirect to a file.. like this: dmesg >> output.txt [03:10] i get this message : Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.29.3 ... any ideas on how to get these ?? [03:10] Ah, didnt know that one. Brb one more time hopefully :P [03:10] LeeAnna, anyhow, hiexpo mentioned about swapping it in for v4 of that same brand and model but don't tell them it doesn't work with linux, just say it doesn't work [03:11] ! [03:11] nineof7: why is automount gone [03:11] crazy [03:11] trip0: x11-common. [03:11] LeeAnna, thatcard is not going to work without a ndiswrapper so what i suggest is go on ebay and find a wusb54g ver4 i buy them for 30 bucks ususally i am bidding on 4 right now don't waste your time withthat pos ok [03:11] gogeta: idk ??? im asking u [03:11] she's gone again, just realised [03:12] LeeAnna: pastebinit works fine too [03:12] damn [03:12] gogeta: idk even know what automount is [03:12] she was working on windows with wireless, but otherwise linux with no internet access === nineof7 is now known as sux2bme_nineof7 [03:13] gogeta: is there anyone else [03:13] autmount takes care of mounting by automatically mounting them at boot, not a good idea sometimes [03:14] hatake_kakashi: have u any idea to solve if it dont work? [03:15] sux2bme_nineof7, so you tried clicking on the drive from the home thingy under that gnome file manager? [03:15] hatake_kakashi: yes [03:15] sux2bme_nineof7, and did it work? [03:15] hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/416420/ look there thats his fstab [03:15] hatake_kakashi: well, no [03:16] hatake_kakashi: someone automount is just gone [03:16] sux2bme_nineof7, what are you trying to mount? [03:16] mrwes: ok restarted the networking and then did a few other things. Searched on google real quick and it said to see if ifconfig sees the interfaces... it only sees one... I have 2 onboard nics and 1 additional... is this something that will require me to reinstall? [03:16] gogeta, still one can manually mount it I suppose, it'll be a pain but its still doable [03:16] gbear14275, not that I'm aware of [03:16] mrwes: about everything http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/416420/ [03:16] hatake_kakashi: yep [03:17] sux2bme_nineof7, did you remove any packages? [03:17] hatake_kakashi: like how? do i manually mount them [03:17] mrwes: the interfaces come up on lspci... but they don't seem to be active... is there something I have to do to get them activated? [03:17] hatake_kakashi: yes but not a system one [03:17] sux2bme_nineof7: mount /dev/sda /media/something [03:18] lman i am killing them with my snipes just won 2 more lol [03:18] sux2bme_nineof7, 1) create a mount point.. usually in /mnt 2) mount /dev/ntfs_drive_1 /mnt/newly_created_mount_point [03:18] sux2bme_nineof7: sda can be any drive you can find that is fddisk [03:18] hello! I'm trying to figure out if RTL8180 is supported in 9.10? Anyone know? [03:18] i use to install boost.asio by synaptic! but i dont see any libraries for it. [03:18] !ot > hiexpo [03:18] hiexpo, please see my private message [03:18] gbear14275, pastebin (not paste) your lspci -nnk output [03:18] it seems it doesnt build the source code [03:18] hatake_kakashi: a blue thooth package i removed [03:19] sux2bme_nineof7: wonder if it removed something it shouldent [03:19] sux2bme_nineof7, hmm ok, which version is this? [03:19] gbear14275, you've setup eth0 and eth1 ? [03:20] sux2bme_nineof7: go to the package manager and type auto fs in the quick search and see if its still installed [03:20] autofs [03:20] Can anyone tell me where ubuntu stores /dev/md device information. I have a crazy /dev/md_d2 I can't get rid of, and its not in the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file. I've also dd'ed fdisked .. everything on the drive the md was using before. Now /proc/mdstat states md_d2 : inactive sde[1](S) Appreciate the help. [03:20] mrwes: paste.ubuntu.com/416422/ And not sure if I have "setup" eth1... I'm logged into the machine via ssh now so eth0 works but the additional onboard and the pci nic don't seem to be in /etc/network/interfaces [03:21] IdleOne, why'd ya send me that / i am just helping the people here if i am outta line i will no longer say anything and let people buy there own worthless no linux junk [03:21] gbear14275, did you read the thread I posted, and how to setup a static IP for each? [03:21] hatake_kakashi: based on my pastebin can you gimme exact commands for terminal? http://www.flickr.com/photos/49405607@N03/4529965188/sizes/o/ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/416408/ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/416420/ [03:22] mrwes: yes but sudo ifup eth0 gives "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1." [03:22] " [03:22] hiexpo: I understand that you are trying to help but you are adding scroll to the chat about hardware that nobody has asked you about. and winning two more games with your snipes has nothing to do with ubuntu === Sorell is now known as sorrell [03:23] gbear14275, is eth1 even in /etc/network/interfaces ? [03:23] mrwes: no [03:23] sux2bme_nineof7: so is this a new problem or been going on sence you installed [03:23] sux2bme_nineof7, don't know which drive names belong to which, you need something probably like disk label to identify.. you still haven't answered my question [03:23] Does anyone know a good MS Paint alternative [03:23] Yoshario: Paint.net [03:24] gogeta: it HAS a ubuntu icon left of it, but when i right click it is does say "mark for INstallation" rather than "mark for removal"... [03:24] gogeta: it's new [03:24] ...for Ubuntu [03:24] Yoshario, GIMP [03:24] yeah but thats too advanced [03:24] I just want a simple UI [03:24] like Paint [03:24] usser : I just checked it. It work !! thk you for your time. that was a great help !! [03:25] IdleOne, i don't even play games read up i won to wireless cards that do work with linux the wusb54g ver 4 and i dell them to the people that need them here so you knbow what i will keep it 100 percent on topic and just say there pos don't work and discontinue that helping option [03:25] hatake_kakashi: sorry its 804lts [03:25] mrwes: looking now how to add it to /etc/network/interfaces [03:25] IdleOne drinks haterade [03:25] hatake_kakashi: Okay, think I got it this time; http://pastebin.org/155894 [03:25] sux2bme_nineof7: rell that should be installed [03:25] hello, i installed ufw and gufw but its not on any menus, how do i run it? [03:25] hatake_kakashi: gogeta should i just let synaptic reinstall it? [03:26] hiexpo: may I msg you so I can explain what I meant? [03:26] sux2bme_nineof7: maybe the packge you removed removed that to [03:26] gogeta: the bluetooth? [03:26] LeeAnna, hiexpo said about returning the dongle for v4 of the dongle and when they say why, just say its not working [03:26] sux2bme_nineof7: yea thats probly why its not mounting your drives on its own [03:26] hmm [03:27] sux2bme_nineof7: happons [03:27] does anyone know of a simple UI alternative to paint [03:27] Yoshario: gpaint [03:28] JoeSomebody: ufw is a command-line program, I think gufw should be in System -> Administration [03:28] gogeta: should reiinstall gnome virtual filesystem too? [03:28] hatake_kakashi, ys just say it don't work [03:28] sux2bme_nineof7: haha yes [03:28] sux2bme_nineof7: no wonder your mounts whent crazy [03:28] hiexpo, ahh yes my bad [03:29] hiexpo: if you are upset with me, talk to me about it please. You may msg me at any time but please do not use my asking you to stay on topic to stop others from helping [03:29] Thinking I should just try and convince the "man" of the house to just let me rewire the whole house with ethernet =/ [03:29] LeeAnna, hiexpo said that it won't work but I personally think there's lots of mucking around, especially when you don't have alternative forms of connecting to the net [03:29] sux2bme_nineof7: wow you removed gfx and autoomount [03:29] gfs [03:29] LeeAnna, how old is the device anyway? [03:30] sux2bme_nineof7: good one there [03:30] No idea, its my gf's [03:30] mrwes: I'm guessing i have to add eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces before I can continue correct? [03:31] gbear14275, yah, pretty much, it should be a similar entry like eth0, but a different IP, correct [03:31] Having trouble Giving SFTP users read access to some other directory (more info about my problem here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9133075&postcount=10) [03:31] sux2bme_nineof7: but thats ok you where just to new to see wait those are inportant dont remove those [03:31] gbear14275, then bring it up [03:32] gogeta: what? [03:32] LeeAnna, ahh, well I'd say if you can afford to, buy a supported dongle and sell that one or sell that one to buy a supported one.. because without ethernet connection there'd be a fair amount of work imo [03:32] sux2bme_nineof7: gfs and autofs are what makes automount work [03:32] sux2bme_nineof7: once those are installed and you restart everything should work again [03:33] gogeta: i should reboot? [03:33] sux2bme_nineof7: yea [03:33] ok thanks [03:33] haha i love them repubs [03:33] repos [03:33] Well, this pc does have an ethernet port, people im living with just dont want ethernet wired from one side of the house to the other [03:33] blacksunseven: look here, esp 11.1 :http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch15_:_Linux_FTP_Server_Setup#FTP_Users_with_Only_Read_Access_to_a_Shared_Directory [03:34] nah, the repukes are cussing the dems for giving taxcuts to the poor [03:34] gotta love that [03:34] LeeAnna: so use wifi [03:34] Since they all use laptops withwindows [03:34] gogeta, and that's where the problem begins [03:34] LeeAnna, you can run ethernet through exsisting phone lines :) Most phone lines have several sets of wire [03:34] hatake_kakashi: what card [03:34] blacksunseven: That should get you toward what you want. [03:34] LeeAnna, well probably the better option is to buy a supported device [03:34] Can't play sound in music player/ Firefox simultaneously any fix available? [03:35] gogeta, broadcom bcm4320 [03:35] rww, thanks [03:35] gogeta: hatake_kakashi THanks, ill be back [03:35] hatake_kakashi: should work out of the box [03:35] If I buy a portable usb dvd reader/writer, is it going to work in ubuntu or depends on model? [03:35] JoeSomebody: you're welcome [03:35] hatake_kakashi: brodcoms have good linux support [03:35] gogeta, and that's what I thought but it didn't, not in LeeAnna's case [03:35] greezmunkey: i've got that set up for folders that aren't on another device, but for other disks i need to be able to mount them in the sftp user's directory as read-only [03:35] gogeta, you're wrong on that point imo :) === iWolf is now known as Mynx [03:36] hatake_kakashi: i got 2 brodcoms g+ mimo both work out of thebox [03:36] Broadcom BCM4320 WLAN-bg USBBCM4320 WLAN-bg USB modem Chipsets for Broadcom. ... Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional logo · Valid CSS logo · Linux 2.4 logo [03:36] rainy-day: almost all dvd drives are compatible, usb or not [03:37] blacksunseven: samsung drive from newegg should be ok? [03:37] rainy-day: yeah, that'll be fine [03:37] rainy-day: Yes, it should work. [03:37] great thanks [03:37] gogeta, there's 4 drivers for broadcom, starting with the legacy bcm43xx which now is b43, and there's rndis_wlan for broadcom on USB and last but not least is broadcom's proprietary driver, aka wl [03:37] gogeta, none of which supports all of broadcom's chipsets [03:37] can anyone tell me, why Thai language support (libthai etc) is bound to things like Abiword and Gdm and will take them down too, if I remove it? [03:37] blacksunseven: you should be able to use user/group permissions to do that, I would think. [03:38] hatake_kakashi: aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter wireless-tools [03:38] gogeta: The broadcom driver supplied with the 9.10 driver incorrectly displays the current radio freq. I bought an Intel card instead. [03:38] greezmunkey: it seems that the mount is taking on whatever perms the original mount target has [03:38] the idea is explained here in section (3) http://www.ericstockwell.com/?p=54 [03:38] blacksunseven: possibly with a symlink to the actual directories... [03:39] hatake_kakashi: thats for newer kernls [03:39] greezmunkey: but then that would allow them to navigate outside of those dirs [03:39] gogeta, I'm not the one having the issues, LeeAnna is, and she's got BCM4320.. plus she has no wired connection otherwise.. and that command will only work for b43 drivers not for rndis_wlan or wl [03:39] Disabled in Debian 2.6.24 and later kernels. [03:39] hatake_kakashi: so it has to be installed now for some stupid reasion [03:40] hatake_kakashi: they used to include it [03:40] crucialhoax, I would never recommend broadcom wireless, their inept ability to deal with the linux community never ceases to surprise me [03:40] blacksunseven: well, you would have to create directories for this purpose, existing dirs would present a security problem [03:40] hatake_kakashi 4320 or BCM4306 rev 3? [03:40] blacksunseven: I agree. [03:40] iflema, I'm pretty sure its bcm4320, its the only broadcom chipset on USB [03:40] i have been working with wireless devices since they came out in 1992 and helped with aircrack-ng and still amsupport with them and all i have done is try to help u people solve your issues with working with Linux /// I started with UNIX when it was at and a shell u idiots // and helped design the microwave for version so u know what :0 ) and that's not the lips on my face [03:40] hatake_kakashi: they say NDISwrapper for the usb ones [03:40] hatake_kakashi: Exactly. Even my Linux instructor dislikes Broadcom and their terrible open source involvement [03:40] hatake_kakashi ok [03:40] when doing a lot of disk operation, a lot of random processes are failing and causing a kernel message saying "page allocation failure". why is that? i have plenty of ram. [03:40] greezmunkey: that's where a ro bind mount comes in (i've been using it for a while in 8.04) but alas after upgrading the functonality seems gone [03:41] gogeta, not exactly a workable solution when you have to explain to one step by step without wired connectivity, and ndiswrapper isn't a do all solution [03:41] hatake_kakashi: its a laptop move to a wired [03:41] lol [03:41] crucialhoax, you'll probably find me roughly equivalent to your instructor :) I despise broadcom [03:42] gogeta, yeah in her case, i.e. LeeAnna's, it won't be doable without getting the houses rewired [03:42] LeeAnna, are you able to purchase a new USB wireless dongle? [03:42] hatake_kakashi: grab a 6 foor cord walk to roughter [03:42] foot [03:42] Not atm, no cash. [03:43] hatake_kakashi: acully better idea she got another box connected [03:43] hatake_kakashi: cat 5 into the working box [03:43] blacksunseven: yikes, that bytes. [03:44] If I got ahold of a piece of ethernet to temporarily get internet going on my ubuntu install would that simplify things? [03:44] greezmunkey: haha :-\ [03:44] gogeta, yes that's probably doable, provided if one has the funds but you may as well sell broadcom for a working one [03:44] LeeAnna, hell yeah === kevin_ is now known as stal [03:44] LeeAnna: yea with a cord you can eyther wire in or wire into a connected pc [03:44] In that case I'll be back tomorrow, I'm visiting a buddy of mine tomorrow who should have extra ethernet [03:45] LeeAnna: crossover I hope! [03:45] LeeAnna: surly you have a pice lying around [03:45] Hi! My Karmic Kola is trying to updt OOo from 3.2.0-4 --->3.2.0-7 looks like the server is getting chocked or something else is wrong What can I do to make this updt complete and faster ? [03:45] gogeta: not yet [03:45] hatake_kakashi: They attend the Linux meetings but never agree to sharing their code so dev's can write open Linux drivers. . . [03:45] LeeAnna: all isps give you some when they give you a roughter [03:45] LeeAnna, what sort of cables does he have? normal or crossover? [03:45] Regular cat5 [03:45] ravibn, Are you downloading from canada? [03:45] hatake_kakashi: you can crossover with a normel i have my xbox 360 like that [03:46] Which I should be able to use to get a wired connection to this pc from the router itself [03:46] hatake_kakashi: you cant with cat 6 thow [03:46] zen933k : How can I find where it is downloading from? [03:46] crucialhoax, more importantly is that drivers like bcm43xx/b43 and rndis_wlan are mostly reverse engineered codes by the community.. broadcom provided their own binary blob named wl with limited support and mainly for lp-phy as well as 802.11n capable [03:46] Just cant leave it set up like that on a permanent basis [03:46] hey everybody [03:46] gogeta, that's not the issue here, if she needs to connect to the router, it needs to be a normal ethernet cable not a crossover [03:47] zen933k, it's set when you install the first time usually. if you're usa based, forget I said anything. i just had some issues this week when trying to get some packages [03:47] Anyhoo, thanks for your time, appreciate it :) [03:47] anyone able to point me to a gui I can use to configure /etc/network/interfaces... I'm having a hard time doing this [03:47] hatake_kakashi: you can use cat 5 for both [03:47] hatake_kakashi: i do it all the time [03:47] bbl etc [03:47] gbear14275: network-manager [03:47] ravibn, it's set when you install the first time usually. if you're usa based, forget I said anything. i just had some issues this week when trying to get some packages [03:47] is my radeon hd3600 preconfigured in 10.04 b2? [03:47] I have an extremely old graphics card, (and my processor is 750MHz) and i am installing KDE as i am typing this, would there be a way to make it so i can run KDE at a decent speed?

[03:48] CkhiKuzad, you might want to turn off all the fancy eyecandy stuff, I can't remember the tool, its called kpersonalization or something === travis is now known as Guest33417 [03:48] zen933k: well it says it is updting from launchpad.net where would that be? [03:48] is there a way to make ubuntu stop asking me for my password everytime I want to change something? [03:48] blacksunseven: sudo network-manager [03:48] sudo: network-manager: command not found [03:48] blacksunseven: I just installed it too... [03:48] dan: no. it is for the systems benefit. [03:49] oh well [03:49] gbear14275: sudo nm-applet [03:49] hatake_kakashi: unless my pc is just that unpickly abought the wires i use [03:49] gogeta, yes I know what a cat 5 is, but you can't connect a normal cable to another computer, hence crossover, likewise with crossover to a switch via normal ports apart from uplink port [03:49] thanks hatake_kakashi. i use GNOME already, and i have an old Kubuntu disk, but i dont want to downgrade to 8.10 with a whole new *buntu install. [03:49] crucialhoax: this is a headless server I'm trying to configure through ssh [03:49] ravibn, just so i am clear you're trying to update ubuntu but it is stalling? [03:49] hatake_kakashi: i crossover my 360 with a cat 5 [03:49] crucialhoax: nm-applet wont work will it [03:50] hatake_kakashi: same ne i use when i gtta go wired in my roughter [03:50] gogeta come modern interfaces autosence what is required [03:50] CkhiKuzad, then probably a good idea is to download the current one off the net [03:50] Hi... I just installed Ubuntu today, and I don [03:50] gbear14275: Nevermind then, if it is using a wired connection, network is not needed, unless in your case it is? [03:50] how do you get get the Envelope to show you the application window? [03:50] gbear14275: should be in your system menu under preferences, network connections [03:50] iflema: hes saying you cant crosser with a standerd cable i do [03:51] gogeta some modern interfaces autosence what is required [03:51] hey all [03:51] zen933k : yes! I am trying to updt and it does the job but it stalls in betwn and speed goes down to like 200 bytes/sec so something is wrong somewhere [03:51] thats what i'm doing right now, hatake_kakashi [03:51] does anyone know to get phpmyadmin on LAMP [03:51] iflema: oh [03:51] gogeta, yes that's why its called crossover cat5 cable [03:51] crucialhoax: blacksunseven: I'm trying to get my headless machine to use an eth1 interface it has. eth1 though is not listed in /etc/network/interfaces and I'm having a hard time understanding how to set it up... was hoping for something I could forward through ssh [03:51] anyone know how i could transfer ubuntu's kernel to chrome os [03:51] hatake_kakashi: hes saying my interface doesent care [03:52] blacksunseven: He is ssh'ed in, that wont work. [03:52] gogeta years ago one had to be on the ball with crossover and straight through cables [03:52] ravign, I experienced that eariler this week too. Not sure why. Did you 'sudo apt-get update'? [03:52] gbear14275: Is it listed under `ifconfig -a` [03:52] gbear14275: could you post your /etc/network/interfaces to pastebin? [03:52] zen933k : I just went to the update manager GUI [03:52] blacksunseven: yeah, lots of bug reports on that...sorry. [03:52] iflema: so new interfaces its no longer nedded [03:52] CkhiKuzad, ok but also for support with kde you should also try #kubuntu [03:52] crucialhoax: yes :) (first sign of hope) [03:53] greezmunkey: oh, really? could you link me to one? [03:53] iflema: yea i rember my old pc nedded a crossover this one i used a standerd and ir worked [03:53] zen933k: few days back it updt from 3.1 to 3.2 and it took 1 week for that happen [03:53] gogeta, well I could be backward orientated, but I'm still pretty certain on wired cables and which ones to use for which [03:53] ah, thanks hatake_kakashi. i use ubuntu a lot, but i usually stick to reserving IRC for technical issues [03:53] blacksunseven: paste.ubuntu.com/416432/ [03:53] ravign, Well, launch terminal and try: 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade' [03:53] chrome os defaults to software rendering on anything that isnt an intel graphics chip. Ubuntu live cd however is able to cope with other chips and runs with hardware acceleration. since Chrome os is built on linux and closeley related to ubuntu, is there a way to transfer the drivers and the config files, if so, which ones? [03:54] ravibn, Well, launch terminal and try: 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade' [03:54] gogeta yes and no.... alot of devices autosence.... the rule is pretty mucha couple of exceptions but like devises us crossover unlike straight through if ya follow me. [03:54] gbear14275: what kind of interface are you adding? [03:54] gbear14275: Ok, and so I understand you are trying to configure eth1 on a server thru ssh? [03:54] ptr20r2: You'd want to ask the Chrome OS people. They're likely more familiar with Ubuntu than we are with their system. [03:54] If the update stalls, could be server side and you may just have to try again tomorrow [03:54] zen933k : the updt is going now right now Will not affect the current affect [03:55] ravibn, okay, cancel the GUI update [03:55] CkhiKuzad, well that's ok :) just note that if you ask kde related question in here, you might get redirected to #kubuntu instead for support but other than that: kubuntu, lubuntu and xubuntu all share the same base as ubuntu with different front ends [03:55] iflema: so if it autosences like mine it makes no diffrence [03:55] blacksunseven: I did find something that may help though, look here to see if it meets your needs: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch15_:_Linux_FTP_Server_Setup#FTP_Users_with_Only_Read_Access_to_a_Shared_Directory [03:55] <^b0ss^> Question : when wanting to install files how do you install a deb file and a rpm file [03:55] greezmunkey: you already linked me there :P [03:55] How do I get Empathy windows to come to the forefront [03:55] zen933k: it is downloaded abt 12 files of 21 so will that download go away ? [03:56] iflema: well as long as her machine is pretty new like withen 4 years it probly will autosence [03:56] hatake_kakashi, LXDE got its own *buntu distro? [03:56] blacksunseven: crucialhoax: I am trying to get the second on board nic to work so that I can bridge it to VM's. This is a headless server I am hoping to use as a VM host. eth0 is working right now and is connected to an internal NAT. I am trying to configure eth1 to be public facing [03:56] ubottu: rpm | ^b0ss^ [03:56] interesting *apt gets* [03:56] ^b0ss^: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [03:56] blacksunseven: hmm, long day sorry! Here's part of what I mentioned earlier: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=ubuntu+ro+bind+mount&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=bcdf8cbbf06dc4f [03:56] CkhiKuzad, very soon, but more like ubuntu gets lxde [03:56] gogeta no difference and hard to say [03:56] ^b0ss^: for deb files, double-click them in file browser, or "sudo dpkg -i path/to/file.deb" in terminal [03:57] <^b0ss^> thank you [03:57] nice, i've used LXDE before [03:57] iflema: this is a 5 year old amd and it autosenced [03:57] <^b0ss^> i got both with a nero linux suite [03:57] * CkhiKuzad goes to offtopic room now. [03:57] blacksunseven: speaking of long day, g'night [03:57] What going on with ubuntu beta i can't upgrade to it? [03:57] crucialhoax: so to answer your question... yes [03:58] perlsyntax: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here [03:58] my window decorations are flashing when I resize them [03:58] sorry for being a asshole!

[04:52] hi [04:52] hello [04:53] !hi | Guest29804 [04:53] Guest29804: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:53] aetaric, without to start a flame war. but for the standart server tasks a [free]bsd need less administration work [04:53] Hi [04:53] If I were to run a server it would be a redhat based CentOS, ClearOS, or a *BSD box. [04:53] aetaric, also i make a battle against a ubuntu server ( stresstest) and bsd was more stable. apache php mysql [04:54] hi can any one help me i have a graphics card problem [04:54] hi can any one help me i have a graphics card problem [04:54] hi can any one help me i have a graphics card problem [04:54] Guest29804: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:54] wow [04:54] Immaturityfail [04:55] lmao [04:55] killing is a bit much.... [04:55] maybe kickban? [04:56] does someone knows why is that rkhunter found a hiden directory??? and this means?? is it a malware??? [04:56] if you whant to run apache, just take a look what apache.org is running [04:56] Horus: Did you look at the log? It is most likely pulseaudio [04:56] who is rkhunter? [04:56] Is there a way to run Update Manager without having to enter my admin password? [04:56] or what? [04:57] aetaric: It is a rootkit hunter software for Linux. [04:57] ZzzZzzZ: run it as root [04:57] ZzzZzzZ, from a shellscrip/cron [04:57] ? [04:57] Still would need admin p/w [04:57] It is time to put those Haitian jigaboos in their place! No matter how many times the civilized world donates money, opens schools, rebuilds their nation, and holds their little monkey paws, the damn niggers can never get it right. Mexicali had a worse earthquake than Haiti, and only about 4 people died! Even the housing of the poor generally held up! Meanwhile even the Haitian elites couldn't build decent buildings. Look at what ha [04:57] ppened to the house of their monkey president! If you are sick of the fecal beast Join Chimpout Forum! [04:57] Resbaloso: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:57] no it is /dev/.udev directory [04:58] then that is because of udev. [04:58] Horus: In a terminal `gksudo gedit /var/log/rkhunter.log` post it to paste.ubuntu.com [04:58] ls -A /dev/.udev/ [04:58] Horus: I will look at it. [04:59] why is a rootkit software needed for linux? [04:59] Hi. What's the name of the package for handling sqlite db files in Lua? [04:59] Horus: Here is the best way I have found to run rkhunter. First, run `sudo rkhunter --propupd`Second; `sudo rkhunter --pkgmgr dpkg --sk -c --noappend-log` [04:59] *lol* [04:59] aetaric: Because Linux can acquire rootkits. [05:00] how? by opening 'girlanddog.jpeg.bin' ? [05:00] aetaric, that is not appropriate for here. [05:00] bubulein: I guess I want an enhancement then....seems silly that when I login I have to enter my password twice (since I always check updates after login)....certain programs should be able to reuse credentials for a while... [05:00] aetaric folks can gain access to your system. Also can take a command like cat and modify it to put them back in your system [05:00] let me explain what happens. i started exail to retest my sound issue. the resource was still unavailable. the i changed to the console and the music starts. i come back to X and the problem apear agin. but the player i was listen on the console was still exaile [05:00] bazhang: i'm sorry you took that the wrong way. [05:00] done http://paste.ubuntu.com/416449/ [05:01] ZzzZzzZ, letz call it a feature [05:01] aetaric: I am not sure how. But it is a nice utility to have. It does not run as a daemon so its not wasting anything in the background. rkhunter and chkrootkit are nice tools [05:01] i happen to have a picture of my sister and her dog in my pictures dir. must everyone take something as perverted? [05:01] Horus: I have the same messages even with a default install. No worries here. :) [05:02] bubulein: I heart biometrics [05:02] !ot > aetaric [05:02] aetaric, please see my private message [05:03] !whois bazhang [05:03] oh, this is still my mac. [05:03] s0 what is all the hype about ubuntu 10.4 lts, "change is coming" whats gonna be so good about it? [05:03] tnx its good to heard that [05:03] hi, i have an apache server running. i dont want it to run as root so i have created the user 'apache'. when i login as apache and try to start the server, it fails. what should i do? [05:04] Babalabon: Ask in #ubuntu+1 [05:04] zubin71: apache runs as www-data, not root, by default (so you don't need to do anything!) [05:04] bazhang: if you have an issue with me you should just pm me. stop flooding the channel. [05:04] Babalabon: light-themes [05:04] Um, there is no flooding. [05:04] Flannel, oh! i see...how do i find out what user a process is running as? [05:05] ps [05:05] ok ladies, who cares sound. if 9 other boxes around *G* [05:05] zubin71: top [05:05] crucialhoax: fine. spam. [05:05] crucialhoax, thanks [05:05] Flannel, thankx [05:05] zubin71: Once you are in `top` press `u` then type the user name. [05:05] zen993k : are u still available? [05:05] ps -ef | grep $username [05:06] clarkb: That command fails. [05:06] why? [05:07] works fine for me [05:07] It needs to be `$USERNAME` case sensitive. [05:07] greetings Ubuntu channel [05:07] greeting mobius2 [05:07] crucialhoax: only if you are looking for processes you own [05:07] otherwise you want to replace the variable with the username of the user you are looking for [05:08] which is sorta what I was hoping to imply there... [05:08] I think the most recent updates I installed for my Karmic koala install have somehow broken my Torcs racecar game [05:08] clarkb: I typed in $username and got a correct usage display. [05:08] bye and thx [05:08] bubulein: hi [05:08] $username was a variable for you to replace not for $SHELL to replace :) [05:08] clarkb: Duh. I digress. [05:08] hi datzy [05:09] clarkb: I gotcha lol *headdesk* lol [05:09] Hi.. I am having hardy 8.04 version Whenever I minimizing the browser window it will appear towards the bottom right cornet rather than appearing at the task bar. Any suggestions on how to display on taskbar ? [05:10] Torcs gives a strange error about an .xml file being corrupted.... I tried to do torcs but when I did that and tried to re install the game, it was as if the program was never really uninstalled at all...as if a local copy of the installation files were kept? [05:10] phani: Your current open windows do not display anymore? [05:10] can someone tell me how to boot to an older kernel image in ubuntu karmic koala? [05:10] crucialhoax: everything shows in right hand bottom corner only [05:10] mobius2: You want to purge, not simply remove, remove just removes the binaries, purge removes all the support files as well (also, check for -data packages or other torcs specific packages it might have brought in) [05:11] mobius2: perhaps.. in /home/ as a hidden file.. in home type ls -la and you should be able to see everything.. or in nautilus ctrl+h to reveal hidden directories. [05:11] phani: Is the window list applet added to the bottom panel? [05:11] excellent guys thanks [05:11] mobius2: looks like there's torcs-data that you might have installed (also -data-cars and -data-trains) [05:11] yes [05:11] mabus: purge doesn't always eliminate configuration files in your home [05:11] phani: I am not sure I understand then... [05:12] scunizi: good to know [05:12] I am going to paste the command line error to pastebin, if anyone would be kind enough to have a look at it I would be most thankful [05:13] hello [05:13] crucilahoax: here is my query i have firefox and chrome opened along with a terminal and everything shows in right hand bottom corner.. but not in the taskbar.. I need to use Alt to switch back to windows === zachary is now known as Guest193 [05:13] hello [05:14] can anyone here help me with resolution issues? [05:14] phani: So there is no icon in the bottom panel listing or showing your open windows? when they minimize they seem to `disappear`? [05:14] !ask [05:14] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:14] exactly [05:14] Guest193: depends.. we need more info.. graphics card type ati, nvidia, intel etc.. and model # [05:15] i only have two resolution options, and can't type in my password when i run sudo commands. anything i can do about this? [05:15] http://pastebin.com/DH6gUgRP contains the Torcs game command line error [05:15] phani: Ok, go to the far left of the bottom panel, right click, choose add to panel, then scroll down and choose window list. [05:15] Guest193: why cant you type in the password? [05:15] I think I have a corrupted file called .torcs/config/graph.xml [05:16] I did the purge but that seemed just like "remove" argument [05:16] clarkb: not sure. it just won't let me type anything. [05:16] Guest193: it wont echo the characters you type [05:16] of *'s etc [05:16] but it will take teh input [05:16] I thought I would just re install the whole thing..... kinda lame considering it's just a small file that s depracated , however I do not know of any way to obatin this file or rebuild it [05:17] Anyone else have the speed issue with 802.11n (<60 Mbps) with the iwlagn driver? [05:17] mobius2: Then after that type `locate torc` [05:17] clarkb: yeah. not sure what to do about it. [05:17] ls1024: I believe so =( it does not seem to recognize N yet. [05:17] crucialhoax, okay [05:17] mobius2: Everything in your homedir will create itself, so copy .mobius to .mobius-back, and then you'll start fresh [05:17] Guest193: just type your password in carefully and hit enter [05:17] mobius2: er, sorry, .torcs to .torcs-back [05:17] when you enter passwords on the command line echo is typically turned off. This is a security measure [05:17] crucialhoax: It connects fine to my 5 GHz N network, but the speeds are very much maxed at what I can get with G. :( [05:18] I hope it gets fixed and released with lucid! [05:18] clarkb: well, it's not appearing at all when i type. [05:18] Guest193: thats the idea [05:18] ls1024: I am using a 5100 series card with the iwlagn module and N speeds do not seem to be any better. I read somewhere that N is not fully supported in Linux or something. Cant remember exactly. [05:19] clarkb: huh...ok, thanks. i'll try that. [05:19] crucialhoax: Well, here's to hoping full N support in Linux arrives soon! [05:19] Can I resize partitions on an HFS+ formatted hard drive (mounted via usb)? [05:20] Guest193: When you execute `sudo` commands it hides the password, nothing will appear but you are typing. [05:20] how can i see which drivers are loading? [05:20] For now I'll still use the 5 GHz band with N since 2.4 is very polluted here. [05:20] crucialhoax: Thanks. [05:20] ls1024: Agreed, then hulu will hopefully be easier to watch :) you could always change channels... [05:21] ls1024: Are you using channel 6? [05:21] genericfinch: hello [05:21] clarkb: howdy [05:21] crucialhoax: No, not 6 and not 1. [05:21] crucialhoax: I live in a building where there are a ton of networks all over the spectrum, and channels still overlap. [05:21] crucialhoax: If I'm only able to get G speeds at the 5 GHz band, the 2.4 GHz band doesn't even give me that. [05:22] ls1024: Oh okay, in that case channel freq might not help performance much. [05:22] Hello [05:22] hello all, i have a little question. I remove gdm from autostart, and if I want to use this, I start manual. Now I like printing a document, but cups not started, I start it, there is input: "cupsd: Child exited with status 1!" [05:22] I read many forums and sites, reinstalling cups, hplib, cupsys... [05:23] my resolution is way too low for my computer, and there are no other options. is there a way to fix this? [05:23] Turn off/Turn on a printer)) (HP All-In-One 2180) [05:23] Guest193: try xrandr [05:23] clarkb: i tried that before, and it wasn't working [05:23] Guest193: something like `xrandr --output VGA1 --preferred [05:24] any ideas? [05:24] Guest193: well you need to give it the proper option incantation [05:24] Guest193: you never answered what card you have [05:24] also if you have an nvidia card you are better off using the nvidia utility I think [05:24] I am getting blank screen after grub, I think it's because of the resolution I set in the StartUP-Manager utility, is there any way to change the resolution through the recovery mode? [05:24] hi, when i start my apache2 server, i get the following error message. "apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for inctf" on opening up the location via a browser i get "Forbidden location". Everything was working fine until just a moment ago. [05:25] scunizi: i'm not sure. i'm running in virtualbox on a mac, which may be part of the problem. [05:25] zubin71: Sounds like a permissions issue, are you running ubuntu? [05:25] crucialhoax, yes [05:25] ubuntu server [05:25] Guest193: well that helps a lot.. have you installed the "guest additions"? [05:26] Yahoo! I fixed it) thank all for you aura)) [05:26] zubin71: Oh okay, well still applies, there is a permission that is not allowing that file to be viewed. [05:26] scunizi: i'm going to have to say i haven't since i'm not sure what that is. [05:26] Guest193: If you are using a VM why are you concerned about resolution? hah [05:26] * kraytul is here [05:26] crucialhoax: just trying to run fullscreen, but i can't. [05:27] kraytul: lies [05:27] Hey, can anyone help me with my internet problems? [05:27] Guest193: in the top of the window with the guest running in it there are three menu options.. one will show either mount or install guest additions.. find and do that and we'll proceed to the next step [05:27] Guest193: `sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions` [05:28] Guest193: Crap, your running it on a Mac. Hmm. That will not work lol [05:28] Can anyone help me with FireFox [05:28] crucialhoax: Guest193 that might work for the ose version but might not for the other version [05:28] Guest193: did you get vbox direct from their site? [05:28] scunizi: His host is a Mac, wont work either way lol [05:28] ;__; [05:29] is there anything equivilent in linux command line to this?. http://www.is.wayne.edu/drbowen/inetf03/Edit/EditFileEdit.gif [05:29] crucialhoax, the permission for the root folder is drwx-rwx-rwx [05:29] crucialhoax: guest additions is installed from within the guest. [05:29] scunizi: Oh, I thought you were referring to my command. [05:30] an anyone do me a huge favor and convert a LIT book to PDF? calibre or something [05:30] crucialhoax: I was.. you might be able to do that from within ubuntu running as a guest, but only if it's the -ose version of vbox.. not the one you get direct from virtualbox.org [05:31] scunizi: Oh, I installed mine from the host. [05:31] techduddeee: What is the problem? [05:31] well, Im gonna try to fix it myself ;__; [05:31] hi does kguitar have tuning capabilities [05:31] Never mind, wasn't the computer. [05:32] crucialhoax: you mount/activate the guestadditions.iso as a virtual cdrom in the host but the guest additions is actually installed inside the guest [05:32] hello [05:32] It was my broadband connection. [05:32] Thanks though. === carandraug_ is now known as carandraug [05:32] HElp! Vuse on the fritz! Every time I load it comes up witha box that says"Vuse just completed an important update and must now be restarted so that the update can be installed" It's done this nine times. . . I accidently removed the azureus4.3.1.4.jar file from my seeds, it force downloaded it, and now this. Any suggestions? [05:33] scunizi: Exactly, but that command did it for me, although, I digress. It's Irrelevant. [05:33] Sorry, I just installed Ubuntu at like 5 in the morning. [05:33] i just ran "xrandr --newmode "1280x800_60.00" 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync +vsync", and nothing happened. should something have happened? [05:33] New to all this, I specialize more in Windows 7 which sucks compared to this. [05:33] Haha. [05:33] can someone link me to a tutorial on how to install ubuntu on a different drive, I have the .iso on a flash drive, and windows prep'ed for dual boot; I am wondering if I should boot from the flash now [05:33] Tamnakz: Un-install it and use Deluge. Unless Vuze is a must. [05:33] Hey Sk_Lg. [05:33] Do you want to run along side Windows? [05:33] techduddeee: So are you good? [05:33] yo [05:33] Guest193: you can't use that running ubuntu in a virtualbox instance.. you *have* to install the guest additions to get full screen ,, drag screen,, seemless etc. [05:33] techduddeee: Win7 isn't bad...Linux is more useful though ^^ [05:34] crucialhoax: what does deluge offer that vuse doesn't? less resources? [05:34] Or completely on a new partition? [05:34] I also keep getting buffer errors with vuse. . . [05:34] What software can I use to _grow_ an hfs+ partition?? [05:34] scunizi: any idea how to install Java? =D [05:34] scunizi: do i do that through virtualbox, and not ubuntu? [05:34] not yet, I partitioned windows to 100gb on the first hard drive, with ~280gb left on that one; I also have another 1tb hard drive, so I am wondering if I should install onto that, or as a partition of the first [05:35] CloudLevi: search synaptic for sun-java and you'll see it [05:35] Tamnakz: Deluge is a uTorrent like program. Most prefer Deluge or Transmission. [05:35] I got wayyyy too many bad packages with transmission, that's why I went to vuze. . . [05:35] CloudLevi: I have a link. The one in the repos is old and yucky [05:36] scunizi: how do I do that? >_> And I read the instructions...problem is the instructions are confusing and even though I figured out step one....it's NOT working... [05:36] Guest193: first you mount the iso for guest additions using the menu at the top of the window running ubuntu [05:36] crucial, is that a technical term? [05:36] Tamnakz: Then use Deluge [05:36] voss749: Yucky? Duh it is :) [05:36] scunizi: this is why I *HATE* pre-written guides...they're chock full of holes...missing information ALL over. [05:36] crucialhoax, what reasons do you recommend? [05:36] crucial which program are you referring to so i know not to touch the yucky stuff/ [05:36] CloudLevi: system>admin>synaptic package manager .. click the search key.. type sun-java .. click little box and choose install.. click apply [05:37] * Dr_Willis always reads the virtualbox manual at the vbox homepage. [05:37] * scunizi agrees [05:37] techdudee: so should I put ubuntu on the primary drive, or on the larger hard drive? [05:37] How big are the drives again? [05:37] Tamnakz: Well, it is stable, most are going to recommend it, and has a nice interface with lots of configurability. [05:37] or we past the installing guest edditions? :0 i stepped out. heh [05:37] voss749: The java in the repo's. [05:37] Dr_Willis: nope.. not even mounted yet [05:38] crucialhoax: ? [05:38] crucialhoax, will I be able to transfer partial torrents to it? [05:38] does anyone here, running lucid, has a hauppauge hvr 2250 working with mythtv, me-tv, totem, etc.? [05:38] CloudLevi: Did you want that link? [05:38] Tamnakz: Try it and see, I have not attempted that. [05:38] 300gb primary w/ windows partitioned to 100gb, 1tb free =) [05:38] Ok [05:38] thanks, I'll give it a try! [05:38] shapeshifta: #ubuntu+1 for lucid [05:38] Tamnakz: No problem :) [05:38] crucialhoax: oh ok, thanks [05:39] crucial, its not yucky just a bit stale like 2 day old pizza in the fridge [05:39] shapeshifta: Yeppers. [05:39] Hmm. Well, I suggest just putting on the larger drive. If you install it into Windows, it'll use up more services, there for make your computer a bit slower. [05:39] hello [05:39] crucialhoax: any recommendation for a movie/program search engine? Since isohunt changed I can't find much other than bogus files [05:39] has one here got a link or the standard source.list file, i made some changes to it just after my install and now i am having issues updating server i think i'll just put the standard source.list back in - karmic - ubuntu - 9.10 i have [05:39] voss749: No its old like stale milk from 2 months ago. [05:39] Am I right, Crucial? [05:39] crucial, java tends to be not as version sensitive as flash [05:39] crucialhoax: link to what? [05:40] Tabmow: Not sure about that. I do know that Limewire has a Linux version, does that fit the bill? [05:40] CloudLevi: Java install tut? [05:40] crucialhoax: uh...I guess? You have 6.20, right? [05:40] CloudLevi: 6.20? [05:41] crucialhoax: Java [05:41] techduddeee: Right about what? [05:41] all good finally someone had one thanks guys [05:41] Hmm. Well, I suggest just putting on the larger drive. If you install it into Windows, it'll use up more services, there for make your computer a bit slower. [05:42] Sk_Lg was wondering if he should run it into Windows. [05:42] But, it would make him run a little slower. [05:42] anyone have recommendations for finding good movie/tv show torrents? [05:42] CloudLevi: Its something like version 6 update 19 [05:42] !ot > Tamnakz [05:42] Tamnakz, please see my private message [05:42] Tamnakz, that is offtopic here and on this network. please dont ask again. [05:42] I am new to Linux and I'm having problems with my sound, I can't hear anything through my speakers or headphone jack (nothing is muted) Can anyone help? [05:43] my apologies [05:43] crucialhoax: I guess that works, but how do I get the bin from the Sun site to work? >< [05:43] bulletprf: Right click your speaker in the upper task bar. [05:43] what is the real difference between 6 version 19 and 6 version 20....not much. no program i know of needs a version of java that new [05:43] And play with the settings/drives. [05:43] CloudLevi: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java [05:43] hello can anyone help me I'm new in ubuntu and facing some problem [05:44] ok I will try, ty [05:44] bulletprf: it's in preferences. [05:44] palash: What's your problem? [05:44] If you update ubuntu every 6 months, that version of java will probably be fine. [05:45] crucialhoax: I'll...go try that... e-e [05:46] hi [05:46] hi [05:46] hi [05:46] first time using irl [05:47] techduddeee: There isn't anything in my hardware device list ?? [05:47] me too [05:47] Bulletprf: Have you selected different profiles? [05:47] Is there a way to make apt- see that I have manually installed something and update that with everything else? [05:47] For instance Java [05:48] crucialhoax: only if you used apt-packages to install it.. [05:48] crucialhoax: only if it was installed via the package manager.. if you did it manually no [05:48] Dr_Willis: I dont. Ok, no biggy === Sean is now known as Guest95424 [05:49] Is there a ppa for the latest java? [05:49] techduddeee: I don't know how, like I said I'm very new [05:49] crucialhoax: what are you trying to access that needs the latest? or do you just want it because it's the latest? [05:50] Okay, would you like me to do it for you? Via Desktop share. [05:50] scunizi: Just want it because it is the latest ;] [05:51] sure [05:51] crucialhoax: I did it once a couple months ago but it was a pain to install.. not difficult .. but a pain.. ultimately not worth it.

[06:08] I am an avid gardener, and I recently heard of a small handheld controller card which many gardeners use for the purpose of managing a small linux kernel which handles the dispensation of h2p and other vital nutes. Does anyone here know of anything open source which would benefit a gardener? For instance , I think I would like to make my tempER ( usb thermo device ) with linux, but the native software interface was written for MS Win [06:08] dows. [06:08] scunizi : karmic Kola 9.10 [06:08] the card is called the Arduino? [06:08] hunahpu: after I make a shared folder, where can i access it using windows xp virtualbox?

[06:09] ok thank you much [06:09] chrisTLC, you got it mate [06:10] How do I updt synaptic pkgs ? [06:10] ravibn: the 'reload' button in synaptic package manager tool - reloads the list, [06:10] ravibn: or 'sudo apt-get update' [06:11] hi does kguitar have tuning capabilities ?? [06:11] Dr_willis : I have given reload and it is going on right now [06:11] Dr_Willis : I need JRE to be installed on my Karmic 9.10 just guide me === DaZ is now known as Guest70605 [06:12] can someone explain a simple way to boot my laptop to an older ( presumeably automatically saved) version of my OS kernel? [06:12] ravibn: i just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and i thought that pulled in java.. or at least it used to. [06:13] I'm currently using version ubuntu of 9.10, but I type apt-get update to get this new version 10.04? [06:13] Yum: won't happen until a stable release is issued [06:13] Dr_Willis : after the reload I got a list of errors and it said it cannot download [06:14] Yum: in fact, don't consider upgrading until a stable release is issued. also, you'd need to upgrade to 9.10 first, IIRC [06:14] ravibn: seems you got some issues in your package manager then. Try the 'sudo apt-get update' and if any errors pastebin them for the channel to see [06:15] hello? [06:15] Yum, Trek: "apt-get update" (or upgrade or dist-upgrade) by themselves won't upgrade you to a new version. You'll want to use update-manager for that (if you want to use apt-get to do that, you need to modify some configuration files to get it to work) === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux__ [06:15] hmm trek, thanks [06:15] !hello | Ceiling_Paint [06:15] Ceiling_Paint: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [06:15] hi! i've got a question about grub, can you guys help me out on it'? [06:16] Flannel: yeah, i knew that, i'm just a little tired and didnt mention that :P. OH: upgrade wont upgrade the distro. thats dist-upgrade only. [06:16] Ceiling_Paint, you can ask in #grub2 but if someone knows the answer they will surely reply [06:16] Ceiling_Paint: unless of course the answer is right there in the grub docs :) [06:16] Ceiling_Paint, sorry i meant to say #grub but you can go ahead and ask [06:16] Trek: no, dist-upgrade won't either. In normal use, you use dist-upgrade to get new kernel versions for instance. dist-upgrade will only after you modify your sources.list to point to the new versions (but again, you should use update-manager for that) [06:16] bulletprf: My advice is to download/install all drivers being available. [06:17] ok well this is my situation, i have a few systems here, i've got ubuntu 8.1 on one harddrive, 9.1 on another, and win7pro on a third [06:17] techduddeee: ok [06:17] thanks Flannel [06:17] hey everyone I have a ? a bout playonlinux [06:18] Ceiling_Paint, ok so what is the problem you are having --- all in one line [06:18] http://superuser.com/questions/65135/ubuntu-9-10-x64-has-no-sound-while-ubuntu-9-04-32-bit-does [06:18] i want to know if i can use grub to multiboot, i was looking up grub docs and i've gotten kind of overwhelmed, but im thinking that if i use sudo update-grub, it will find all the os's and create the grub.cfg i need, will that work? [06:18] Dr-Willis : http://pastebin.com/LsngMsFC [06:19] Dr_willis : http://pastebin.com/LsngMsFC - here are the errors after I updted [06:19] ravibn: you got some bad/wrong entries it seems.. or their server is down. -> http://ubuntuarchive.hnsdc.com [06:20] Ceiling_Paint, grub2 will do that, if you install linux last it will configure itself without a problem, if it needs a little help then you update grub, it works like a charm, i have 2 hard drives --- one is production with xp and karmic, the other for testing windows7 and lucid [06:20] Dr_Willis : if you look at the pastebin some of them got updt from that server [06:21] bulletprf: http://superuser.com/questions/65135/ubuntu-9-10-x64-has-no-sound-while-ubuntu-9-04-32-bit-does [06:21] ravibn: yep. so that server mayu be goofy.. or somthing. the server seems to be the issue. Youmay want to switch servers [06:21] so this is frustrating... two computers connected to same router, one goes through to internet, the other doesn't... any ideas? [06:21] Dr_Willis : tell me which one ? [06:21] davebs, they both have ubuntu? [06:21] ravibn: that's the oppisite [06:22] Dr_wilis the problem you are having is with the keys.... [06:22] Hey.. my computer will automatically lock the screen after nothing's happened for 5 minutes which, while useful, makes watching movies a pain. any way to turn this off? [06:22] tucemiux: yes, both ubuntu, both connected via ethernet [06:22] pourya: error 404 is for the keys? Hmm [06:22] so just to clarify, even if each harddrive had the operating systems installed on them individually, if i ran update-grub, it should find all the os entries and set itself? im guessing thats what it does when it first installs. does that sound right? [06:22] Err http://ubuntuarchive.hnsdc.com karmic-security/multiverse Sources ---> error 404 [06:23] davebs, its possible the NIC is bad, do you have a dual boot in the machine that cant connect internet? can you try connecting to the net with windows? [06:24] Flannel, pm please? [06:25] tucemiux: gah, i hope not, no dual boot, just ubuntu and windows 7 and xp via vmware... i could try another linux live cd? the ethernet is off motherboard, what could have caused nic going bad?

[06:26] davebs, hardware doesnt last forever, can you trouble shoot the nic? can you get an IP? first check the obvious, physical connection and make sure you see a light on the nic, could also be a bad LAN cable, it used to work before, right? [06:27] tucemiux: bttw, interesting caveat: i have one keyboard and one mouse shared for both computers through synergy... that works, so the two computers can interact well... the computer that can't connect also streams videos to xbmc... so it can get to network and work well, just not internet [06:27] Yum: not on your life. i ignore all PMs === ZeR0 is now known as Guest5922 [06:27] Yum: too many PM spammers sendin me crap [06:27] ok Trek :) [06:27] is one question of swap [06:28] Dr_Willis : any luck at all ?

I did all the setting up at home, and when i connected to server to another router there's just no internet connection.

Then you need to move your partitions around to get the most continuous freespace you can. then you need to make a new swap with that freespace [06:37] i cant give you more details, since I'm heading off now [06:38] gdewald: keep in mind thatn ot all games will work with wine, and they won't work exactly the same [06:38] davebs, you know how to use paste bin??

I can take a pic. :)) [06:51] !ubuntu-desktop | turtle_ [06:51] turtle_: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.

[06:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:52] Dr_Willis: well true, it could sit there and rot, but I'm running a low end system to wanted to minimise the footprint [06:52] davebs, what is the last line of "route"? it should look something like "default " [06:53] turtle_: i doubt if you are going to save much. [06:53] low end to me = pent 3 :) or pent 2.. [06:53] tucemiux: yea, default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 eth0 [06:53] Dr_Willis: ok I'll leave it there. Does it contain anything important? [06:54] turtle_: the ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. if you upgrade the system to the next release. you will want to reinstall it.. and that will pull all the dependencies back in [06:54] Jordan_U, umm how do i mount a flash drive now? (to be clear: that's a server i'm working with) [06:54] df [06:54] I borked up my flash drive, (accidently hit "format" instead of close in the live USB creator) and i hit close in a panic. now i cant see any files.... I need some of the files... and it still says MSDOS as format type and that there are 600MB used. I ran gddrescue and it said no errors. then I ran mmls -b on the file it extracted from the drive into my home and it appears its still there. but i still cant see anything [06:54] nexsja: Can you ssh into it? [06:55] Dr_Willis: ok thanks :-) [06:55] Quick question about video cards. Anyone have the time? [06:56] Can a backup of /etc/ for one linux distro be used successfully on another? [06:56] davebs, looks like your nic has an ip and is configured correctly, can you ping the other computer? [06:56] sss [06:56] freezway: first of all, dd the whole drive to a file somewhere so you can get ack to where you are right now. Then run fsck on the partition and see what it says, then last I'd try to check it on a windows machine and see what it says. [06:56] goodfella121, just go ahead and ask, all in one line, if anyone knows the answer they will reply === the_file_ is now known as the_file [06:57] why am I getting 'Cannot send to channel' when I try to type in 'C++' irc chat? [06:57] Well, I was wondering. I have an integrated 64mb video card, and I'm getting ready to install a 256mb video card. Will this improve video editing performance in Ubuntu (Kdenlive, PiTiVi and OpenShot)? [06:57] tucemiux: yes, other computer pings fine, router not so much... much the ping is obviously literally going through the router to get to the other computer... [06:57] Jordan_U, i can't even turn sshd on. It says i need to re-exec it with an absolute path [06:57] mouse: i doubt it, why do you ask? [06:57] nexsja: Can you ssh out? [06:58] Jordan_U, i can't, because i can't add a host to known hosts list - read-only fllesystem problem [06:58] nexsja: try /usr/sbin/sshd (or wherever sshd is.) [06:59] oh, wait [06:59] i connected to my laptop here [06:59] davbs: is it a router or hub? [06:59] davebs, I think the problem is with your router, can you ping the router: ping 192.168.1.1 [06:59] mouse - you can pull individual config files (if the apps are of the same revision), but most distros organize their /etc differently and tell those apps to find their files in different places. [06:59] '~$ sudo route add -host link-local; SIOCADDRT: No such device.' What did I enter wrongly? [06:59] I'd archive it, then pull specific settings as needed [06:59] Tucemiux: Hmm, on more try. lol I have an integrated 64mb video card, and I'm getting ready to install a 256mb video card. Will this improve video editing performance in Ubuntu (Kdenlive, PiTiVi and OpenShot)? [07:00] tucemiux: i can't, says "destination host unreachable", fwiw that comes up pretty quick as opposed to when i ping yahoo.com it takes a while to come back w/ unreachable [07:00] a{, "Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd" [07:00] greezmunkey: I was mostly just wondering if /etc/ can be used across multiple linux distros if for some reason I need to reinstall and decide to use a different distrobution. For example if a backup of a ubuntu /etc/ being applied to a mint /etc/. [07:01] goodfella121, yes!!! You might also want to get as much memory as you can, its quite cheap nowadays, if you havent bought the video card yet I suggest you research and buy a card that's known to work with ubuntu [07:01] nexsja: You probably have some sort of filesystem corruption, possably a hardware problem. If this is the first boot this has happened then it might be fixed by an fsck automatically. But do NOT reboot. [07:01] goodfella121: nvidi's work pretty well with linux [07:01] mouse: you would have to study the file systems of each distro to make that decision. I don't have that answer. sorry. [07:02] nexsja: If it doesn't boot again you may not have any chance to get the dmesg which might contain usefull information. [07:02] Tucemiux: Already did. Sorry man, lol, no one answered. Also, I'm about to double the ram. It already runs near smooth with little lag on 1GB ram (only on Linux!) and a 64mb vid card, so I know this will solve a lot of problems. [07:02] Jordan_U, mm, okay, so what do i do? [07:02] what is this thing with reddit on firefox. It starts scrolling down and doesnt stop. This after I touch the bottom small arrow. But not every time. [07:02] that's the first time that happened. Actually that's the 3rd boot anyway :> [07:02] davebs, there's the problem, your machine cant even see the router for some reason, try rebooting the router, try to ping it again, if it doesnt work then youre going to have to peek inside your router to see if anything was changed, you did password protect your router, right? [07:03] gkahla: Thank you. [07:03] nexsja: What is the first time what happened? [07:03] ZeeshanQ: I bought a Nividia GeForce FX 5500 256 MB. That should work according to my research. What do you think? [07:03] Jordan_U, the "hardware corruption problem". How do I mount the flash drive? I can cat > dmesg there [07:04] goodfella121, if your appz work on your machine then awesome, ive had serious issues with video on ubuntustudio, things generally dont work, they tend to crash a lot [07:04] tucemiux: hmm, yes, i did pass protect, i'll poke around router settings, if that doesn't work maybe i'll try restarting to factory settings [07:04] nexsja: "sudo fdisk -l" to find the deice name then "sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt" [07:04] Tucemiux: I'm using Lucid, and it corrected almost all of my video problems. Now I just need a better video card, which should solve the rest. =D [07:05] Tucemiux: Kdenlive edits very, just lags on larger vid files (the vid card should fix that!). Everything else runs wonderfully. [07:05] *very well [07:05] goodfella121, you already bought it? The 5500 is **old**, you must have a really old machine, i guess you dont have any PCI Express slots? [07:06] tucemiux: thank you for your help, i really appreciate it [07:06] tucemiux: No, no PCI express. Just PCI, which is why I had to get that. [07:06] Tucemuix: But I know it's much better than the stupid Intel INtegrated 64mb one. I mean, yeah. What do you think? [07:06] Jordan_U, and do i need to unmount it (in any case?) [07:06] nexsja: Yes. [07:06] davebs, did you reboot your router? [07:07] nexsja: sudo umount /mnt [07:07] yyes, that doesn't work "Device is busy" [07:07] Tucemiux: It's a Dell Dimension 2400, which is old lol === DaZ is now known as Guest94302 [07:08] goodfella121, good enough for linux [07:08] there, [07:08] Hi all. I experience very strange problem. I added a host to /etc/hosts. Ping and gethostip do use the IP from there, but FireFox and Chrome - don't! Why this may happen? [07:08] Tucemiux: Yeah, big time. It already runs Ubuntu perfect. :D But from 64mb vid to 256? I should notice that. [07:08] how do you find your screen resolution [07:08] MegaHerz: restart firefox [07:09] ok [07:09] try cleaning your cache in firefox as well [07:09] hya anybody can help me..I was using youtube-dl to download videos from you tube but now it doesn't work anymore and then I start to use UnPlug so was working fine but now experienced the same problme actually is quite weird .. [07:09] goodfella121: only if you use 3D acceleration probably. if you only use it as a framebuffer, you dont need much [07:09] Jordan_U, http://pastie.org/925402 [07:09] SwedeMike: I will be using it for 3d acceleration as well. The stupid Intel Brookdale G can't handle that worth a crud. [07:09] emerson: i haven't used those, but keepvid.com works fine for me [07:10] anybody can tell me what's going on ? [07:10] ZeeshanQ: I did it, And as I said - Chromium does same shit [07:10] 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 [07:10] SwedeMIke: In fact, when Compiz was supported by this Intel card, it *barely ran anyway [07:10] MegaHerz: uhmm, try restarting your netowrking subsystem [07:10] ZeeshanQ: and I see with tcpdump they are requesting IP from DNS which I don't want [07:10] MegaHerz: /etc/init.d/networking restart [07:10] emerson: While the page is open the video is stored in /tmp/Flash* (where * is a random set of numbers and letters) [07:11] ZeeshanQ: right but why something works fine and then doesn't work anymore... [07:11] emerson: i have no idea about that. i don't download much from youtube so can't say [07:11] sorry got disconnected [07:12] thats ok you freak [07:12] emerson: Youtube probably changed their internal URLs for the video files. [07:12] Jordan_U: but then others shouldn't work [07:12] probably they changed for some content [07:12] ZeeshanQ: didn't help either [07:12] So, what is the best Nvidia card I can get right now? [07:12] thanks tucemiux__ :p [07:12] Jordan_U: I know is there I tryed it too, but when I download and try to run I can't see the image nor the sound. [07:13] goodfella121: clarify what 'best' means to you [07:13] goodfella121: how is that ubuntu question, try asking in #hardware [07:13] '~$ sudo route add -host link-local; SIOCADDRT: No such device.' What did I enter wrongly? [07:13] MegaHerz: MegaHerz last resort, try restarting [07:13] bullgard4: what are you trying to do? [07:13] i cant get mule farm to work with wine plz help [07:13] ZeeshanQ: These services, and totem's youtube plugin, are constantly updated when youtube changes things around. [07:13] emerson: that probably isn't an ubuntu-specific bug, check with whoever made that software grabber [07:13] steven__: see the wine app database and #winehq perhaps [07:13] SwedeMike: To complete my routing table. [07:14] bullgard4: complete? [07:14] Dr_Willis: Runs amazing with Ubuntu, high memory and speed... Nvidia, lol... Just in your opinion. I want this to work with Ubuntu Linux, specifically, but I want it to be top of the line. [07:14] SwedeMike: Yes. [07:14] Dr_Willis: what [07:14] geekphreak, not everyone in #hardware uses ubuntu [07:14] bullgard4: that doesn't make ANY sense. [07:14] SwedeMike: You are wrong. [07:14] goodfella121: your qualifications are still vague.. they have $500+ cards out now.. so its whatever your wallet can afford. [07:14] emerson: What exactly happens when you try to double click the file? [07:15] goodfella121: top /new/just out = the most problems i find. Go with a decent card thats been out for a while. [07:15] bullgard4: orly. [07:15] it stabs you in the face [07:15] df [07:15] Jorna_U:yes [07:15] the file will work [07:15] Jordan_U, did the log tell you anything? [07:15] nexsja: I misssed where you posted the link. [07:16] Dr_Willis: Good idea. that's why I bought an older one. I heard the nvidia250 gfx (or whatever lulz) is supposed to be very good, and it's also not too new. So, later down the road when I start building my costum PC for Ubuntu, I'll keep that in mind., [07:16] Jordan_U: nothing at all. [07:16] Jordan_U, oh. http://pastie.org/925402 there [07:16] emerson: No application starts, no error message? [07:17] SwedeMike: '~$ dict orly; 1 definition found; From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]: Orly: n 1: a southeastern suburb of Paris; site of an international airport serving Paris.' Do you mean this? [07:17] goodfella121: i always check reviews for best 'value' cards. i dont see a point in splurging on somthing thats easioally replaced. [07:17] bullgard4: no. [07:17] Jordan_U: when I try to run any of those softwares that I told you somethimes I can download but I can't see the videos . [07:18] Dr Willis: Another good idea.

[07:25] what the fvck is going on with flashplayer 10 and rhythmbox? [07:25] for commands [07:25] nexsja: No need for the mount output (though it doesn't hurt). The default for ubuntu and most distros is to remount root read only when there is an error. [07:26] ya, Click on the add buttton there and enter ur custom commands. [07:26] I'm sure there's a gconf key but the gui setting is probably hidden in lucid/karmic due to windoze/noob compatibility [07:26] nexsja: So at some point during boot there is an error critical enough that it triggers a read only remount. [07:26] I don't need commands, I need to change app's shortcuts [07:26] well I can do it by app prefs but that one was a neat setting [07:26] nexsja: The command I gave remounts / again with default options, i.e. rw.

[07:33] Jordan_U, i did a reboot and it sda5 had an error, the system ran a check and fixed the issue. Everything is up, as far as i see it [07:34] I think Ubuntu is not human friendly.

[08:12] jakerue: what does 'sudo fdisk -l' say about the partition layout? [08:13] Thank you, Chris. [08:13] chrisTLC:how could i remove the version ? === techdude is now known as Carlos_H [08:13] h00k: sadly yes. It was really an infected file practically. My friend scanned and it was detected. (But I did not have any problem, since it was a .exe file, and linux is safe) [08:13] Sk_Lg: Anything new?

But is was a virus, as it was infected with Win.Sality.Q, a polymorphic virus [08:14] hi [08:14] is TB 3.04 available in jaunty-backports ?

[08:15] jakerue: you are expecting to see what exactly? [08:15] I'm downloading Linux right now. T.T [08:16] Got an hour and twenty minutes left. [08:16] One ubuntu box has a memory leak.

[08:16] chrisTLC: kindly guide me and take my system in remote and solve the problem . [08:16] Dr_Willis, jakerue: Maybe some a RAID mirror? Some external hard drives come with pre-made 1-to-1 mirror. [08:16] Who wants to stay on with me til then? :D [08:16] jakerue: a 1tb drive shows up as --> 976760001 blocks here [08:16] Carlos_H: do you have any specific questions? [08:16] Drive makers like to sort of lie about the #'s :) [08:17] Not at all, h00k. Just here to try to help some people. :) [08:17] Carlos_H: cool :) [08:17] natarajan, No. It is too of a hassle. It's easier if you learn how to do this. Make sure to purge firefox-3.6* whatever (using sypathic, maybe?) Then if you want to remove PPA. You can do so in Software Sources. [08:17] my 1tb hd --> /dev/sdh1 932G 714G 219G 77% /media/Videos1000 [08:17] h00k: Yep. :) How about you? [08:17] jesus christ [08:17] whyyyyyyy [08:17] Dr.Willis, chrisTLC: It is Western Digital...they do put their own software built into the drive and I want to get it off. fdisk does show it as 976074752 but gnome only sees 930Gigs [08:17] Carlos_H: same deal :) [08:17] jakerue: you'll lose approximately 7% due to formatting [08:18] Dr_Willis: /dev/sda3 6.9G 2.8G 4.1G 41% / [08:18] beat that [08:18] jakerue: my gnome sees my 1tb as 930gb also.. and 5% is reserved by default.. and theres overhead [08:18] h00k: Nice.. I just don't like how Ubuntu is missing a lot of drivers. So I'm downloading Linux Mint. :D [08:18] * Dr_Willis beats DarthPuff over the head with a MFM hd. [08:18] jakerue, Check WD's website for possible downloadable exe to remove extras. I know I did that with my annoying U3 for flash drives. [08:18] Dr_Willis, hook: hmmm I didn't realize that. Thanks [08:18] Carlos_H: just build in your own drivers [08:18] chrisTLC: you can stop it from auto loading but you can't remove it [08:18] jakerue: if fdisk is showing 1 partition. then theres nothing hidden on it. [08:19] But, although Ubuntu is secure, Forkbombs really trouble us sometimes. A few days ago, my friend ran a script accidentally, and that inserted a Forkbomb, hanged the Ubuntu system, inserted the forkbomb in his start-up script (/etc/init.d), and what more? [08:19] jakerue: it's a difference between base-10 and binary size calculations [08:19] jakerue: you can always send the drive to me, if you think its faulty ;) [08:19] Dr_Willis: :\ the drive is 8 gigs, but then i have a swap and a 500 meg home dir... then a 2gig flash drive built into the laptop and another 4gb sd card :D [08:19] rocket16: it's only as safe as the user, really. [08:19] 'biggest danger to a ubuntu system these days' seems to be the end user :) [08:20] Is there any Forlbomb scanner? [08:20] h00k: Agreed haha. [08:20] * forkbomb [08:20] there are settings that can limit the effects of a forkbomb. [08:20] Dr_Willis: I agree [08:20] chrisTLC: I want to learn so guide me. [08:20] rocket16: ...no, just don't run stuff if you don't know what it is [08:20] jakerue: have you formatted the drive already? if so, with what filesystem? and what partitions? [08:20] Yeah, was just about to say that haha. [08:20] The scanner is yourself. :) [08:20] Dr_Willis, mneptok: OK I think it's fine then. I put it as FAT32 b/c it's hooked to a FON and they only want FAT32 for torrent downloads :( [08:20] Dr_Willis: Yes, but Iam thinking of making a Shell Script to do a little scanning to unknown scripts, [08:21] how do i change the nick in irc [08:21] ..? [08:21] jakerue: FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. [08:21] thisdotpheonix, /nick newnick [08:21] Click your name.

[08:24] I'm a horrible person. :( [08:24] geekphreek: about 2 months [08:25] jakerue: run fsck.vfat on it [08:25] jakerue: those warnings can be a little - overzelous i find. Itw best however to error on the side of caution and always have backups [08:25] jakerue: so it is still under warrenty, which is a good thing [08:25] jakerue: often hd makers have specific tools at their sites to do through scans of the driuves. [08:25] howto listen partitions in KB (not in blocks) ? [08:25] is there any way that I can use the esc key to close whatever window I'm currently focused on, and also set it up to shut the computer down when it's focused on the desktop? [08:26] Yeah, one time NTFS-3g swore my drive was going to splode and kill everything. The thing still works fine and passes SMART. It's ext4 now though. [08:26] mneptok: OK I'll give it a go. [08:26] faca: What?... [08:26] jakerue: see if it has S.M.A.R.T. enabled also [08:26] W43372: i doubt if thats goign to be easially done.. if its doable at all. and i can imagine that would cause lots of problems. [08:26] faca: you can use sudo cfdisk to list partition in more readable form [08:27] I justed installed LXDE with fressh install of ubuntu - I have no permissions to access anything I copied from my old home directory to the new one. What can I do? [08:27] faca: or "df -h" [08:27] linux: use the root user to set the proper ownership of the files via 'chown' command [08:27] geekphreak, cfdisk listen in blocks [08:27] chown [08:27] mneptok df only listen mount partitions [08:28] faca: correct. so mount them.

When I run Wow.exe with wine, it will show the introduction video but won't get any further as it comes up with error # 132 [09:11] ubottu: tell greenymonkey about appdb [09:11] greenymonkey, please see my private message [09:11] I've seen that site [09:11] greenymonkey: that'll be the best place to find your answer [09:12] how to change desktop resolution on 9.10 using onboard vga sis mirage [09:12] Well I think the issue might be INTEL but then I tried to find an open source intel driver that gives me direct OpenGL rendering support but couldn't find anything [09:16] sis672 series [09:18] ayam_jago: there's a man page for that card iirc [09:18] ok, I seem to remember something about priorities. How do I make an application run with a higher priority?

[09:21] ayam_jago: it should have come with X afaik [09:22] ayam_jago: no man page? [09:22] how do I lock a package from being upgraded with apt? I set a lock in synaptic but it's still being upgraded [09:22] ok new question, how do I add -opengl to the end of my wow launcher? [09:22] gr8m8, i dont understand what to do install the driver from man page. [09:23] !pin [09:23] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [09:23] ayam_jago: if there's a man page it prob is installed - checked the xorg log to see if it is used? === ganja_ is now known as ganja [09:24] No one can help me? [09:25] greenymonkey: you could try in #winehq maybe [09:26] gr8m8: but the website that this bot gave me says I just have to -simply- add -opengl to the end of my WoW launcher [09:26] gr8m8, i cant found /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:27] greenymonkey: well do that - at the end of the command the launcher points to [09:27] gr8m8: at the end of what command :s [09:28] ayam_jago: doesn't get made automatically these days - read /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:28] greenymonkey: what launcher is it? [09:28] launcher.exe [09:28] ? [09:29] gr8m8, i found failed to load module "sis" [09:29] greenymonkey: you need to ask in #winehq then or find another site to read [09:29] if I choose during the install phase specify partitions manually (advanced) when do I specify where it should be installed? [09:29] gr8m8: ok thanks [09:30] Sk_Lg: you set up partitions and tell it where to mount / at that is the root of the install.

SMART can help there. [09:31] mneptok: OK I will see if I can get SMART sorted [09:32] jakerue: is there data in the disk/partition? [09:32] s/in/on/ [09:32] mneptok: no, I formatted it clean today [09:36] how to set the $EDITOR permanently (means being set automatically)?

[09:38] jakerue: try formatting it again as ext3 or ext4. see if anyt problems are reported during formatting. run fsck on the ext partition, see what it says. [09:38] Hello. I am ubuntu advocator working on convincing organizational switch to ubuntu. I have a user (VIP on organizational switch) travlling with his ubuntu and stuck with problem of wifi authentication. seek help here. Problem: password correct, but nmapplet keep asking for re-authentication. [09:39] mneptok: yeah but I want to keep it in FAT32 for Fon. Should I just go to ext3 and back? [09:39] nmapplet only offered WPA1+2. [09:39] Almustafa: ensure the correct encryption protocal is used. WEP vs WPA etc etc [09:39] jakerue: precisely. use the formatting procedure as a test of the media. [09:39] and the password is correct by checking against other people on the spot, it contains 't' in it so it cannot be WEP key [09:40] he had keyring problem first, that I struggled by letting him drop ~/.gnome2/keyring/* that he can reach the autentication window [09:40] Almustafa: is there any MAC address filtering? [09:40] mneptok: OK I am running SMART now and will go to ext3 and back if I need to. Thanks for the help [09:40] Almustafa: hardly, because he had been that wifi before. [09:41] mneptok: he had been to that wifi before, with ubuntu 64bit, which I had to change to 32 bit for 3rd party software requirement . [09:41] mneptok: and this time is right after switch to 32-bit ubuntu [09:41] mneptok: he had been to that wifi before, with ubuntu 64bit, and worked before. [09:42] mneptok: capslock also checked on the phone. [09:42] hi [09:42] Almustafa: does wireless work with other WAPs? [09:42] does anyone here know how can i install virtual box in backtrack 4 ???? [09:43] mneptok: no nmapplet does not offer user to chosoe any other than WPA1+2 personal, according to user description on the phone. the user is definitely not stupid one [09:43] Almustafa: WAPs, not WPA [09:43] mneptok: sorry, [09:43] Almustafa: "wireless access points" [09:44] mneptok: sure, that adds to the list. I'll write a list to check when calling him back. I am a bit pressed because the person is respected VIP having a saying on organizational switch to ubuntu. [09:45] Almustafa: who makes the wireless chipset? [09:45] Almustafa: lenovo. we are in China. [09:45] Hello, I have just installed ubuntu 9.10 and was going through installing some programming tools where I noticed Ultra Edit, It say it is free but when the installation completed it is asking to ultra edit is askin to pay [09:45] Almustafa: lenovo makes the notebook. chipset unsure. tested working in his China office. [09:45] Almustafa: if the vendor does not provide a reliable Linux driver, it makes clear the point that a migration to Ubuntu requires careful hardware decisions. [09:45] saki: which language you gonna be working with? [09:46] mneptok: sure, but it worked here in china, and worked for him when he travel to that wifi before, so it's sane to believe hardware works. we tested it before letting him have it. [09:47] I work on multiple languages Java, PHP, Perl, Ruby, etc I use vim mainly. However some time I need an editor like crimson editor to edit files quickly. [09:47] mneptok: if it connects, but DHCP does't work properly, can it behave like described? [09:47] saki: i like 'geany' [09:47] saki: geany is pretty good ;) [09:47] bonjour [09:48] il y a des francais? [09:48] Almustafa: run "sudo dhclient wlan0" from the command line [09:48] mneptok: it offer password authentication once 2 minutes, and use 2 minutes to 'searching...' in nmapplet. === voRieLLo is now known as voRia [09:48] I never heard of geany [09:48] let me google it [09:48] saki: avail for windows and linux.

Mount it. then chown the mountpoint to be owned by the user [10:17] i ll be back later :) [10:17] om26er: or make a directory on the fs. and chown that tobe for tu user to work in [10:18] u can specify the mount permissions etc in the mountpoint in /etc/fstab too [10:18] I am trying to connect to Facebook with https [10:18] Dr_Willis: done that already but was wondering about something like gnome disk utility has 'change drive permissions' type of thing?

[10:24] om26er: looks liek its just setting the owner of the root of the filesystem. same as that mount command/chown would have done [10:24] Sk_Lg: matter of choice mate, i create normally 2 partitions for linux , 1 swap( which is nearly double the amount of your RAM), other ext 2/3/4 [10:25] Sk_Lg: go for ext3, if you will be getting files from linux partitions from within windows :) [10:25] afaik ext4 drivers are still not done for windows [10:25] so for the swap, primary/logical, and mount point?

[10:35] Dr_Willis: cool thanks [10:35] um [10:35] noob [10:35] qwerkus: sort-of... does that mean "actually not running ubuntu"? [10:35] AcePreshaw: what ? [10:36] i see a white terminal as soon as i log in! i have a gnome GUI [10:36] the bots [10:36] sort-of means: running but keeps crashing [10:36] AcePreshaw: what about them ? [10:36] :( what may i do!! [10:36] the bots r noobs [10:36] geekphreak: great! seems to be install = ) [10:36] AcePreshaw: don't be silly - they are useful tools, don't call things "noobs" [10:36] r not [10:36] Sk_Lg: :) [10:36] can anybody help me? [10:36] AcePreshaw: ignore them then [10:36] !ask [10:36] 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).

[10:37] yep [10:37] im in ubuntu-ie and the bot is a noob [10:37] madjid: or do you mean the ; [10:37] what is the not most relevant in Linked List? Null, Search, Remove, Link, Data [10:37] madjid: it looks like you took of xserver and you are loggin to failsafe [10:37] qwerkus: have you managed to track down the cause of the crashes, or are you just working on the assumption that it's a kernel problem? [10:37] AcePreshaw: stop going on about it [10:37] and nothing happens [10:38] i cant stop [10:38] madjid: or do you mean the 'console' ? you have a mouse pointer moving about? you did login at the GDM screen? [10:38] AcePreshaw, do you even know what a noob is? [10:38] im #**&^ [10:38] yes i got my mouse! [10:38] AcePreshaw: please check you're pm's - I've helped you stop [10:38] funkyHat: no, I know where the problem comes from; the intel h55 chipset ain't supported in my kernel version. You need 2.6.33 or above [10:38] madjid : what mouse ? [10:38] am in the gui! but nothing loads!! no desktop! nothing [10:38] ah [10:38] ok [10:38] nm [10:38] madjid: so you have a 'terminal' in one corner basically. instead of the full desktop when you logged into X. [10:38] mouse pointer [10:39] qwerkus: i am on intel h55 series, no worries here [10:39] exactly [10:39] though it was some funky mouse by mail order [10:39] :p [10:39] haha [10:39] madjid: you dident accidently select 'xterm' at the gdm login screen? [10:39] geekphreak: which cpu ? [10:39] !enter | RCZA [10:39] RCZA: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:39] qwerkus: i 5 series cpu [10:39] um, i didn't do anything which caused it! [10:39] sorry [10:39] ikonia, did you ban AcePreshaw [10:39] madjid: its possible you did. [10:39] i just ran a program, then the pannels went away [10:39] madjid: try the command 'gnome-session' in the terminal - see if gnome starts up [10:40] well, I'm on h55+i3, and it definitely keeps freezing all the time [10:40] and after that i restart the pc, i saw the console [10:40] um [10:40] madjid: a xterm in X is NOT the console. [10:40] qwerkus: how much RAM? [10:40] 4Gb [10:40] aright, brb [10:40] same here ddr3 [10:40] hello, I have the old private directory in my home dir, how can I get the whole home dir encrypted? [10:40] qwerkus: geekphreak which release of ubuntu are you using, and are you running 32 or 64 bit? [10:40] I am a bit confused as far as my music library. Isn't possible to have my music library separate on an external HDD. As opposed to have it internally [10:41] funkyHat: 32 bit lucid [10:41] I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and banshee [10:41] zongo_, you can put your music anywhere you please, you would just have to readd the music to your music player [10:41] C'mon guys. I already went to the whole 'traking down the problem' process. Turns out all I need is to upgrade the kernel (got this from gentoo foras) and since I'm running ubuntu, I'm just looking for a managable way to upgrade my kern [10:42] CQ: is you current account encrypted? [10:42] *through [10:42] qwerkus: there are packages of the 2.6.33 kernel which you could try [10:42] prebuilt ? [10:42] qwerkus: yes [10:42] got the repos link ? [10:42] theres PPA repos for newer kernels.. (scary!) [10:42] I'm experiencing a 20 sec boot delay between lines [10:42] sir i m getting sh:grub> on my ubuntu 9.10 screen when i boot it? sir wat 2 do? [10:42] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID [001e8c000139073e] [10:42] I thought there was a ppa too but I can't find it [10:42] there's a MainlineKernel page you could search ofr on the Ubuntu Wiki which will tell you [10:42] udev: starting version 151 [10:42] anyone care to give me a hint? [10:42] marijn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:42] Dr_Willis: do you have a link for that? [10:42] I have tried different player such as Banshee, RythmBox, and none of them seem to be able to play from an external location without having to add my music to the local library (internally) [10:43] funkyHat: other then googling for 'ubuntu kernel ppa' Nope [10:43] alright i did it [10:43] is it right or am I doing something wrong here ? [10:43] "gnome-session" [10:43] and i got my desktop back [10:43] madjid: good [10:43] madjid: at the gdm login screen.. theres a menu somewhere.. be sure it has gnome selected... [10:43] but now i still dont see the panels, the "xterm" is not gone, and the mouse cursor is on busy mode [10:44] I have a notebook with very small hdd capacity [10:44] !resetpanels | madjid [10:44] madjid: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:44] CQ: ? [10:44] going from 9.04 to 9.10 made my boottime jump from 18 seconds to 55 seconds ... [10:44] madjid: you could of done 'gome-session &' perhaps so you could still enter commands. [10:44] that is why I need my music library to be played from an external source [10:44] geekphreak: sorry, was afk for a minute... the accoutn is not encrypted, I just have the Private dir encrypted [10:44] qwerkus: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/ pick the relevant packages from there. There should be a line you can add to apt but I can't find it [10:45] wait till you upgrade to 10.04 its even slower [10:45] funkyHat: nice. Thanks a lot. I just hope they compiled it with the right option ... [10:45] funkyHat: there isn't, it's not actually a PPA [10:45] zongo_, when you go to add music with the browser window of your player, you cannot click on your external device? [10:45] Dr_Willis: the result that brings up has no packages in it [10:45] yes, i just upgraded to 10.04 and it got to 1m05s [10:45] CQ: well you can use tools like cryptkeeper to encrypt that folder, or you can also encrypt you user account, which i do recommend :) [10:45] rww: well that's silly! [10:46] by the way [10:46] anyone care to look at my dmesg> [10:46] :) [10:46] i have 2 gigs of ram and 2 gigs of swap space. free -m shows 2029 megs of swap is used. how can I know which program(s) is using it? [10:46] when i typed gnome-session [10:46] geekphreak: what does encrypting the account mean? meaning my /home/myuser dir is encrypted? That's what I'm looking for... [10:46] So, any audiophiles with suggestions on a Gnome-based music app that can handle large libraries? [10:46] CQ: yes thats what it means [10:46] Mighty_Penguin, everytime I do that it imports the whole library locally [10:46] the desktop loaded but there were some errors in commandline [10:46] oneirosFade, I prefer quodlibet [10:46] oneirosFade, exaile? [10:47] I'm using Exaile, and it chokes [10:47] geekphreak: point me to a howto... or shoudl I just remove the private dir and then encrpt my account from scratch? [10:47] and after everything became loaded, commandline were still busy [10:47] join #bash.org [10:47] ikonia: can current account hich aint encrypted, can be encrypted later, or user will have to create new account? [10:47] I don't think I've tried QL yet, though [10:47] geekphreak: sorry - say that again, I don't follow [10:47] CQ: just confirming something [10:47] ubottu : you there? [10:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:47] it feels just _wrong_ that my regular ubuntu use (firefox, thunderbird mostly) should result in heavy swap usage when I have 2 gigs of ram :( [10:47] zongo_, then that must be how the program works, try other music players? or see if there are more options? [10:48] ikonia: if an account has been made, which aint encrypted, can it be encrypted later? [10:48] ubottu : you there? [10:48] Banshee and Rythmbox seem to be working the same way [10:48] geekphreak: you mean the home dir or the actual account's password ? [10:48] i just have my desktop died!! :( [10:48] BusMaster: I use gkrellm to see what's going on ... and htop [10:48] ikonia: yes sir [10:48] what may i do!! [10:48] geekphreak: which one, the home dir, or the password ? [10:48] ikonia: the home account [10:49] madjid, what do you wanna do..? [10:49] geekphreak: you can encypt any directory you want [10:49] ikonia: I currently ahve an encrypted private dir and want to encrypt the entire account ... [10:49] CQ, installing htop now.. [10:49] that my own question [10:49] i don't think you can see directly which programs are resident in the pagefile BusMaster, however top and then typing a capital M should sort by memory use [10:49] ok [10:49] zongo_, I don't use banshee or rhythmbox so I can't really help, I use quodlibet and I have it play my music from my external [10:49] CQ: unencypt the dir, and re-encypt the whole directory then [10:50] i restarted my pc, and suddenly saw a white terminal!!! [10:50] after login screen [10:50] Mighty_Penguin: How many songs (approx) do you work with? [10:50] madjid, when you select your user from login, can you select the gnome session? [10:50] egads! gnome-settings- and gnome-volume-control are taking 18.9% and 12.5% respectively of my memory..I'm not even running those programs [10:50] hmm [10:50] oneirosFade, 3,000 usually, but it handles 16,000 easily [10:50] ikonia: sorry about my english :) [10:51] Hmm [10:51] geekphreak: no need to be sorry - it's fine [10:51] what do you mean by selecting gnome-session? [10:51] madjid, at the bottom it says "Session" or something, its a drop down box, make sure gnome is selected [10:51] I shall give quodlibet a try then: cheers, Mighty_Penguin [10:52] madjid, you will see that at the login window [10:52] zongo_, hope it works for you [10:52] qwerkus: be aware that using that kernel package probably means you won't see kernel security updates through apt, you're taking the matter into your own hands somewhat [10:52] QL is still trying to scan my music, LOL [10:52] ikonia: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/2/ looks like the instructions, or do you have a better suggestion? [10:52] oneirosFade, how large of a collection? [10:52] CQ: I've not got any prefered instructions [10:52] Mighty_Penguin: About 15k [10:53] oneirosFade, after its done scanning, restart quodlibet for the library to show [10:53] Will do [10:55] does anyone else have memory leak problems from gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-volume control when running spotify under wine? [10:56] BusMaster: wine applications can often suffer from memory leaks [10:57] ikonia, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/485923 says its fixed, but how do I get the fix? [10:57] BusMaster: what for the package update to be pushed out [10:57] ikonia, it says fixed in 2.29.92, whereas mine is 2.28.xx how do I get the fix? [10:57] BusMaster: the update will be released when the package is ready [10:57] ikonia, gnome-settings-daemon === kb is now known as Guest75238 [10:57] how do i enable ufw without killing my ssh connection? [10:57] Mighty_Penguin: Oooh... any chance (since I can't check yet, still scanning) that QL supports managing Sansa MP3 players (MPC, I think it is)? [10:58] jakimi narzedziami moge zwiekszyc pojemnosc partycji kosztem partycji ntfs z poziomu ubuntu? [10:58] mrp: ufw's default rule set is blank, so enabling it should not kill of ssh [10:58] mrp: ufw enable === Guest75238 is now known as KSN [10:59] it disconnects me and i cant get back in [10:59] oneirosFade, if the files aren't encrypted or anything on the player, you can use the browse filesystem view or try under media devices view [10:59] BusMaster, maybe wine settings are the solution > http://www.spotify.com/int/help/faq/wine/ [10:59] i guess my xserver has died!! [10:59] Mighty_Penguin: That would make me amazingly happy [11:00] does anyone know a way to repair the xserver [11:00] Hello everybody [11:00] mrp: really it should not , [11:00] oneirosFade, you made me curious, I'm gonna hook up my sony walkman and see if its listed under media devices [11:00] how can i repair my xserver? :( [11:00] :) [11:00] Oer, thanks, but no. its a bug in gnome-settings which seems to be fixed for lucid, but they won't fix for karmic [11:00] Oer, well, just 11 more days to go and then I can upgrade :) [11:00] Could anyone point me where to read changes between the upstart boot model and the init.d one please? [11:01] i got a broken xserver [11:01] Mighty_Penguin: Yeah, the whole reason I've got a Sansa in the first place was it was the only device I could find that supported OGG [11:01] !upstart | Reckon1 [11:01] Reckon1: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:01] BusMaster, i read the bug/485923 but spotify was not mentioned ? [11:01] Which makes it funny that there seems to be virtually zero open-source support for the device [11:02] oneirosFade, are the files just sitting in a folder on the player? [11:02] my x server doesnt response! how can i repair it? [11:02] geekphreak: root@jus:~# ufw enable [11:02] Command may disrupt existing ssh connections. Proceed with operation (y|n)? y [11:02] ERROR: problem running ufw-init [11:02] madjid: if your x server is hung, you may have to reboot [11:02] i just want to say, today is my Ubuntu and it is freaking awesome. [11:02] ikonia, is upstart being removed again in 10.04? [11:02] *second day using Ubuntu [11:02] Oer, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/485923 search for spotify in your broswer (Ctrl+F ?) you'll see several occurrences [11:03] mrp: umm [11:03] reboot is not enougj [11:03] Mighty_Penguin: Depends what mode the player is in -- if it's in MSC mode, it acts like a mass-storage. In MTP mode, it used to work with Amarok1.4, but not as mass-storage [11:03] Reckon1: not that I'm aware of [11:03] i think i must reinstall the xserver or something [11:03] madjid: when you login with name / password, what session type are you choosing? [11:03] cuz i get fatal error when i type startx [11:03] Oer, I am now thinking that I'm probably better off running windows in a virtual machine rather than going the wine way..its just the resource consumption that bugs me [11:04] can't find /etc/event.d in my Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 install [11:04] oneirosFade, interesting O_o [11:04] madjid: there is not need to type startx, [11:04] whats the reason of that fatal error anyway? [11:05] Reckon1: see #ubuntu+1 for 10.04 and correct. that dir is not there. [11:05] mrp is ufw running? [11:05] mrp: sudo service ufw start [11:05] anyone familiar with squirrelmail? [11:06] madjid: your x is already running :) [11:06] hello guys, is there a CAD for network design ? [11:06] Dr_Willis: hey i downloaded a theme but its in .zip file do you know how to install it? [11:06] madjid: you did not answer my question [11:06] ow yep :D so what's your idea? [11:06] madjid, what does typing "gnome-session" in the terminal do? [11:06] aaaoooaaa: Unzip it [11:06] i donno what session it chooses! [11:06] madjid: whats your default session type, when you enter name/pass, what session are you choosing, see gnome listed there/ [11:07] From there, it depends what was in the ZIP file [11:07] madjid: logout, then see what session option it gives you [11:07] aaaoooaaa: it would bne a weird theme that came in .zip format [11:07] ok [11:07] aaaoooaaa: so ive no clue what it actually is [11:07] im restarting [11:07] oneirosFade: yeah i did but i couldnt find a .tgz archive, just a bunch of folders...wasnt sure how to proceed [11:07] thanks Dr_Willis [11:07] madjid, wait [11:07] no ned to restart machie, just logout [11:07] madjid, just type exit to logout [11:07] aaaoooaaa: and where did You get this at exactly? [11:07] but i remember when i type gnome-session [11:07] Dr_Willis: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/The+Days+of+Grays?content=122249 [11:07] it gives some errors [11:07] Dr_Willis: Not necessarily. A lot of themes on DeviantArt are in ZIP archives [11:08] oneirosFade: sounds like ones to avoide to me [11:08] Dr_Willis: Why do you say that? I've had no problems with them [11:08] My .themes dir is like 3gb... [11:08] i dont really need any more.. [11:08] Dr_Willis: sending my email, send some here [11:08] geekphreak: got them all from gnome-art and otehr sites [11:09] geekphreak: fire up the gnome-art tool and start downloading [11:09] 99% of them are rather ugly anyway [11:09] geekphreak: ok im in login screen [11:09] OK how do i install the zip theme again? [11:09] aaaoooaaa: if they did it right.. drag/drop it to the theme settings tool. [11:09] aaaoooaaa, unzip the file, and drag the folder to the appearances window [11:09] Dr_Willis thanks :) [11:10] geekphreak: from where can i find out which session is running? [11:10] aaaoooaaa: and that technically is just a 'gtk' theme - not really a full theme., [11:10] ciao ragazzi [11:10] madjid: , click you username, down belowsee what session it says? [11:10] madjid, at the bottom, it says "Session" === root is now known as Guest57475 [11:10] Mighty_Penguin: Well, LOL, we're up to 1k albums scanned... I hope it's much faster after they're all in [11:10] geekphreak: i use to click on my username [11:11] Dr_Willis: which folder level do i drop? the highest? [11:11] geekphreak: but i don see anything about the session name [11:11] Mornings :) [11:11] aaaoooaaa: drag the archive you donloawde to the settings wiondow [11:11] oneirosFade, it usually takes a half hour to scan my 16k [11:11] Would it be technically possible to migrate VirtualBox Ubuntu Installation to native machine? [11:11] madjid: see anything which says failsafe or gnome? [11:11] geekphreak: i lost ssh access :D [11:11] aaaoooaaa: and i cant test it.. im in KDE. :) [11:11] geekphreak: doing a vps rebuild [11:12] buffr: its possible. ive seen docs/guides on doing it [11:12] mrp: ufw was off? [11:12] Dr_Willis: ok [11:12] I mean, I would make a .tar.gz backup from the VirtualBox partitions. Then format the native partitions, install grub, extract the archive with livecd? [11:12] mrp: why would it disconnnect you man, i dont get it [11:12] aaaoooaaa, you can select your name correct? [11:12] mrp: unless you added a rule or something afaik [11:12] geekphreak:no sign of such things! i just see passwd field, keyboard language and stuff like that [11:12] geekphreak: but i use gnome for my ubuntu [11:12] Mighty_Penguin: huh? [11:13] buffr: i recall some tools that can take the vbox drive image and put it on a real hd. [11:13] aaaoooaaa, sorry wrong person [11:13] a Decent 'theme' collection PPA repo ---> https://launchpad.net/~bisigi/+archive/ppa [11:13] madjid, once you select your name, at the very bottom there should be a "Sessions" with a drop down box [11:14] Dr_Willis, okay thanks [11:14] geekphreak: i see none [11:14] !

[12:28] erUSUL: now i have correct countrycode, but wifi doesnt work... [12:29] BlessJah: :/ [12:29] not familiar with madwifi [12:29] yes i know, sad [12:30] I don't even know why you're using madwifi [12:30] but they have reasonably good documentation on their own website [12:30] countrycode is necessary for 12th and 13th channel to works (there are illegal in some countries, so disabled by default) [12:30] hatake_kakashi: ath5k doesnt support changing MAC and creating AP [12:30] there's channel 14 as well [12:30] hatake_kakashi: for japanese only [12:31] BlessJah, those two are untrue [12:31] hatake_kakashi: ar5001, chipset 242x [12:31] changing MAC: yes macchanger or ifconfig whilst the device is not up, creating AP = hostapd [12:31] hatake_kakashi: it has frozen twice [12:32] i had to reset my atheros (unplug laptop for 5 minutes) [12:32] hatake_kakashi: i've changed MAC using ifconfig, yes that right [12:32] BlessJah, usually it requires newer kernel, the latter the kernel usually is the better for ath5k :p afterall ath5k is mainly dependent on kernel versions or by using compat-wireless for example (under ubuntu it'll be backports) [12:32] i've trawled through the hcl and around google and still can't find a 802.11n solution that works under ubuntu. anyone had any success? [12:32] hatake_kakashi: but i couldnt connect to any wlan [12:33] hatake_kakashi: 9.10, newest kernel, all upgrades installed [12:33] BlessJah, maybe the interface wasn't up?

[12:34] hatake_kakashi: newest in ubuntu [12:34] i wont download source and compile it [12:34] Hey, Which is better banshee or rhythmbox? I currently use rhythmbox, is there any good reason to switch? [12:34] BlessJah, which was what I said, still old under linux-wireless world, have you given backports a try?

[12:37] BlessJah, and you said a moment ago that options ath_pci countrycode=XXX didn't work [12:37] BlessJah, hell yes [12:37] hatake_kakashi: it works, module is loaded with correct countrycode [12:37] hatake_kakashi: but i cannot scan wlans in my area [12:38] BlessJah, probably the HAL in it doesn't support scanning whilst set with specific country code [12:38] kate shows terminal at bottom , is there any editor in which the terminal can be put n the right side ?

[12:54] inglor: you can have both installed, see which you like after a long test and then choose that [12:54] i am using ubuntu karmic koala [12:54] and there is root [12:54] inglor: developers website will list the features of both, you can see which matches your needs closer [12:54] I try to turn on visual effects on normal, so i click on that, IT asked me if i want to turn on, i accepted, and i writed password. It started download, but after few seconds i saw error => " SystemError: Failed to lock /var/catche/apt/archives/lock" [12:54] Hattab: did you enable the root account? [12:54] yes [12:55] Hattab: then we can not support you [12:55] What sall i do to run graphicto run visual effect [12:55] Hattab: there is but its disabled for a great many reasons, use sudo to get admin access (and gksudo / kdesu for gui apps) [12:55] why [12:55] !noroot | Hattab [12:55] Hattab: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [12:55] hmm is it posible to run gksudo without the " " around the command to be able to pass parameters to the command i wannar un ? [12:55] mrsum of course [12:56] !fixapt | klawisz [12:56] klawisz: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [12:56] inglor, how? :/ [12:56] result: Intel Corporation mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (ver 07) [12:56] mrsum gksudo progname [12:56] it's safe? [12:56] "gksudo avrdude -c usbasp" gives me an error on -c that its not a comand line option "-c" for gksudo [12:57] i have to do gksudo "avrdude -c usbasp" for it to work [12:57] klawisz: absolutely, its in a factoid in the official channel. [12:57] thx [12:57] mrsun: make an alias or script if using quotes is an issue [12:57] klawisz: When in doubt, ask. Like you just did :) [12:57] mrsum, oh, I see where you're going, you can make a script like ActionParsnip suggested [12:57] ActionParsnip, ehm .... [12:58] /jon #C++ [12:58] im trying to configure kontrollerlab to be able to use avrdude [12:58] but its stupid [12:58] or i have to be able to access usb from user [12:58] need download intel video driver ?

[13:03] klawisz: or are updates currently running? [13:03] ftab, sorry I missed you said earlier [13:03] updates currentlu runing [13:04] it's wrong? [13:04] actionParsnip , lspci | grep -i vga can i past out put directly in this channel ? [13:04] klawisz: thats why then, the updates are locking the database, only ONE process can access the packages at once [13:04] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [13:04] auf_: its only one line so its fine [13:04] i did not think so [13:04] sorry [13:04] auf_: and what does: lsb_release -c say? [13:04] .. [13:04] ping [13:05] Codename: karmic [13:05] but updates are stoped downloadnig, now are they installing... [13:05] klawisz: same thing [13:05] klawisz: yes but the database package is still being used [13:05] Hi, I have Dell inspiron 6400 and after installing ubuntu 9.10 the wireless device was not recognized, and the same happened after installing fwcutter package, any idea how solve this problem? [13:05] ok [13:06] ActionParsnip, Codename: karmic [13:06] i understand you thanks for help [13:06] auf_: gotcha, ok let me websearch [13:06] I'll try after stoped update.. [13:06] ActionParsnip, thanks === quark_ is now known as CompanionCube [13:06] auf_: here's an xorg.conf you can use: http://zavizionov.blogspot.com/2007/09/howto-ubuntu-intel-945-widescreen.html [13:07] auf_: not sire if that chip like compiz but i dont use intel rubbish [13:07] gaah is there some group i can add my user to so i can have full control over the usb stuff? [13:07] hi there you good people [13:07] any Aspire One owners running Ubuntu 9.10? [13:08] mrsun: if its a member of the admin group, it has full access over everything [13:08] tropsobor: i installed one a while back, what model? [13:08] D150 [13:08] Sorry [13:08] I'm new to Ubuntu and I have one question. What is something I can do with Ubuntu I didn't realize I could do that will BLOW MY MIND? [13:08] tropsobor: wassup? [13:08] if i would write a little script to format a drive , and make a new partition and label , what program would be best to use ? parted, fdisk ? [13:09] give me pls answer again [13:09] elf__: ActionParsnip> elf__: try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [13:09] we-r1 whatever you like, we do that every day... [13:09] sorry for repeating it again but, I have Dell inspiron 6400 and after installing ubuntu 9.10 the wireless device was not recognized, and the same happened after installing fwcutter package, any idea how solve this problem? [13:09] ActionParsnip: the fan hardly works and the slightest CPU intensive task causes the Aspire One to shutdown [13:09] elf__: the guide is as straightforward as it gets dude, you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to open the file to add the lines [13:10] ActionParsnip: everything worked fine before, this began to happen after a recent update [13:10] tropsobor: got the latest firmware in your lappy bios? [13:11] Okay thank u dude [13:11] ActionParsnip: I thought the 945G intel cards we're supported default in karmic [13:11] IdleOne: no idea,i think they suck [13:11] ActionParsnip: I don't think so, I never played with the firmware [13:11] tropsobor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports/AcerAspireOneD150#Post-install%20fixes [13:11] ActionParsnip: I mean that Intel regression issue was fixed in karmic [13:12] tropsobor: might be worth a look, it seems to be a big thing in aspire ones [13:12] Is there a shorter command to connect to an adsl conn? Right now I ust use 'pon dsl-provider' [13:12] IdleOne: i see, i dont use them personally as i've seen too many issues [13:13] we-r1: you can make it a script and call the script something shorter [13:13] ActionParsnip: Never had issues with the intel graphics but then again I never had a use for Compiz. [13:13] getting a dependency error when installing Frostwire from the Fw site [13:13] we-r1: if you use terminal too connect, you can just type !pon [13:13] i do use terminal, thanks geekphreak! [13:13] same to you action [13:13] IdleOne: +1 but i know folks come over after seeing compiz and have intel or sis chips and moan they can't have the cube blah blah [13:14] ActionParsnip: ugh sis :/ [13:14] IdleOne: yep but some really cheap netooks use em [13:15] anyone know why i might get the error? [13:15] I want to turn an old linux box in to a server using ad hoc for internet access, do I need to install Ubuntu server and why? [13:15] coachj: try: sudo apt-get -f install [13:15] ActionParsnip: FYI VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) is fully supported [13:15] IdleOne: gotcha [13:16] technogeek: desktop is also ok. [13:16] DCC SEND MESSAGE HI_HI_HI [13:16] Would server have advantages? [13:16] ActionParsnip: -f or -frostwire? [13:16] coachj: i typed the command exactly so you can copy / paste, if i'd meant -frostwire i'd have typed it [13:17] just making sure, thks [13:17] technogeek: depends, whats system is gonna be used for , how comfertable are you with cli? [13:17] coachj: np man [13:17] I have no knowledge at all! [13:18] technogeek: get the normal system then :) [13:18] madjid: how did it go dude? [13:19] Ok so how would I set up AdHoc from a windows box? [13:19] how would i let parted write the info to text ? sudo parted /dev/sda print === med2 is now known as FiremanEd === cwe_manis is now known as cwe_moetz [13:19] where print is the output [13:19] command > output.txt [13:20] but with sudo.. Youi may need to use a tee also.. Or just do a 'sudo -i' then the command > foo.txt [13:20] Dr_Willis: hey man i was wondering if you were familiar with conky? [13:20] aaaoooaaa: yes.. and conky is VERY well documented at its homepage. :) [13:20] aaaoooaaa: ive spend many an hr twiddling with conky configs. [13:20] Dr_Willis: my conky keeps dissapearing when i click on the desktop [13:21] aaaoooaaa: when using it with gnome - you have to give it some speical options i recall - conky faq mentions that. [13:21] aaaoooaaa: my conky configs --> http://drop.io/dr_willis [13:21] i used to hate linux and ubuntu with a passion [13:22] 10.04 seems to be calming me a bit [13:22] geekphreak: Ok so how would I set up AdHoc from a windows box? [13:22] Bizzeh_: what distros have you tried? [13:22] technogeek: i dont work with it , if in room someone can help, they will help [13:22] especially since i know i cannot install any of my work tools on here and use my laptop to do work at home (i always end up doing if i know i can) so the laptop is now what i want it to be, a web browser, a media player, and an IM client... [13:22] sudo parted /dev/sda print > info.txt , this works, is the -i needed toot? [13:22] too [13:23] ActionParsnip, tried raw debian, gentoo, past ubuntu's, redhat/fedora [13:23] all sorts [13:23] Ok thanks for your help! [13:23] managed a LFS once, didnt work out too well though [13:23] unimatrix9: some times when pipeing thing around.. sudo can cause issues.. if it worked.. no problems then [13:23] Bizzeh_: linux is not always the answer :) [13:23] okey cool [13:24] ActionParsnip, im a windows user, i know that... linux is definatly not the answer for my main pc or my work pc... but it is for my laptop [13:24] Dr_Willis: http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html doesnt mention why it keeps getting minimized to background without any way to bring it back [13:24] because it directly prevents me from installing the adobe suite, visual studio, or the expression suite... so i cannot do work on it [13:24] Bizzeh_: i use it like you do, web, chat, media. its a tool for a job so if windows is btter for the task then use it [13:25] I converted my Ext3 to Ext4, with these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConvertFilesystemToExt4 and all works fine. But when I ran fsck I did answer to "One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid. Fix?" NO, because instructions didn't mention about it. Does it cause problems? === dad is now known as Guest78930 [13:26] Does anyone know how I can get Ubuntu Music Store to work in Rhythmbox on v9.10? [13:26] aaaoooaaa: you are using gnome? or some other desktop? [13:26] gnome [13:26] Dr_Willis: gnome [13:26] sry im retarded [13:27] aaaoooaaa: you need to use some specific options i recall to get it to appear above the gnome desktop. are you trying to get it to auto-start or are you just launchign it manually after you login? [13:27] tbh, one of the reasons ive always disliked linux is firefox... it is honestly the worst browser i have ever used....now i can use chrome, im somewhat happier [13:27] Dr_Willis: im still "beta" ing it so for now manual [13:27] * Dr_Willis will stick with firefox. [13:28] * geekphreak happy with firefox [13:28] aaaoooaaa: test out the configs at the url i gavbe above [13:28] aaaoooaaa: http://drop.io/dr_willis [13:29] Hey :) I've installed Ubuntu via WUBI on one of my laptops. I figured out how to access my Windows file system from Ubuntu, but how do I access my Ubuntu file system from Windows? [13:29] BPower: with wubi.. basically.. you dont. [13:29] Dr_Willis: where is the link to the file? [13:29] Unless thers some tools in windows to mount a ext2/3/4 filesytem in a file somehow [13:30] Dr_Willis: for ext2/3 yes, for 4 no [13:30] aaaoooaaa: its right there at the url, i gave.. at the bottom.. .conkyrc [13:30] Does anyone know how I can get Ubuntu Music Store to work in Rhythmbox on v9.10? Can I even use it yet? [13:30] Dr_Willis: ext2fst [13:30] BPower, http://tinyurl.com/y62xsdd [13:30] ext2fsd* [13:30] isnt ext4 back compatable, reading wise, with ext3 [13:30] geekphreak: can that do a 'filesystem in a file' like wubi uses? [13:30] Dr_Willis, Thanks. bittin: clicking.... [13:30] Bizzeh_: To a small degree yes.. but theres features you can enable in ext4 that break that. [13:30] Dr_Willis: nope dont think so, works with dual boot [13:31] Dr_Willis: i am not much of a wubi user/fan, i like it the old fashioned way [13:31] I am an ANTI wubi fan :) [13:31] bittin, how am I supposed to know that I should google "ext + windows"?? Next time, just tell me "google: ext windows" and I'll do it. ;) [13:32] :D [13:32] So how do I know if I'm using EXT2, 3 or 4? [13:32] well i should try to fix my halfbroken Arch Linux system [13:32] I'm running 9.10 on this system [13:32] i did a chown -R bittin /usr/bin [13:32] :( [13:33] BPower: the hardest part will be that you are using a WUBI installed system. that put all your linux files in one file.. I dont know of any tools in windows that will access the contents of that file [13:33] i've just installed sun virtualbox but could not find that applicatin in the applications list [13:33] something i dont like in 10.04, when i get a popup tip saying that someone has said something to me in some chat... i cant double click it to open up a chat window and reply [13:34] circuitman: from command line its 'virtualbox' or 'Virtualbox' i belive. [13:34] circuitman: hi [13:34] if i dont already have the im client open, i have to go to applications, internet, and run a client [13:34] circuitman: open terminal type Virt , press tab key [13:34] Dr_Willis: you are fast :) [13:34] johan192, i found the solution, [13:34] geekphreak: someone asked the same thing yesterday [13:34] is http://packages.medibuntu.org/ working for you? can't reach it from here... :( [13:34] I dont even rember where its at in the menus [13:35] mamat_: some others have had issues with that site today. [13:35] wen i boot my pc...it dont open my desktop.. instead it goes to terminal... i already restarted my pc by using sudo shutdown -r now but still it will not open my desktop and back to terminal again...it has an error message but i forgot the error message it gives me.. is there any solution to my problem? [13:35] geekphreak:how to add this to the applications menu [13:35] circuitman: it proberly is in the menus.. you just aint seeing it.. perhaps log out/back in.. [13:35] are there any tutorials for using openshot? [13:35] People get to obbssive about haveing menu icons for everything [13:36] ok [13:36] circuitman: much easier , pressing alt+f2 , typeing Virtuabox ;) [13:36] Dr_Willis:any suggestions and tips for using virtualbox [13:36] circuitman: reading of the virtualbox manual/guide at its homepage #1 tip [13:37] Dr_Willis:ok thanks [13:37] circuitman: or as in #vbox [13:37] Dr_Willis: own_window_type desktop >> own_window_type override does the trick cept now its fixed...and is practically occupying realestate [13:37] in windows 7, my start menu is practically empty now, everything i use is tagged to the task bar... so much easier, dunno why nobody did it earlier (yes, im aware osx has had it for years) [13:38] Dr_Willis: i guess thats how its supposed to work [13:39] Dr_willis: i want to try linux mint-8 on virtual box [13:39] Hi [13:39] circuitman: best advice for mint... dont bother.. stick with and learn ubuntu. [13:39] :) [13:39] Hi [13:40] ActionParsnip: is wine required to perform the firmware update? [13:40] Dr_willis: what type of OS should i select in new virtual machine options [13:40] tropsobor: no, you will need tp boot to a usb device with the updater and te file [13:40] circuitman: well if yusing linux.. it has a 'linux' item... [13:40] *te [13:40] *the [13:40] stupid h key [13:40] circuitman: i doubt if it really matters much. [13:41] hi [13:41] welcome to the machine [13:41] Dr_willis: i've installed virtual box on ubuntu 9.04 and like to try linux mint on virtual box [13:41] circuitman: go for it then. [13:41] tropsobor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports/AcerAspireOneD150#Post-install%20fixes shows how to do it [13:41] wen i boot my pc...it dont open my desktop.. instead it goes to terminal... i already restarted my pc by using sudo shutdown -r now but still it will not open my desktop and back to terminal again...it has an error message but i forgot the error message it gives me.. is there any solution to my problem? [13:42] tropsobor: ok it doesn't my bad [13:42] Dr_willis: i selected the Linux and what version should i select [13:42] Dr_willis: there is no linux mint option in verison [13:42] i supprised there isnt more in ubuntu to cooperate with android phones yet [13:42] plugging mine in, all i get is "this is a usb drive, copy crap to it" [13:42] *im surprised [13:42] circuitman: did i mention a tip about reading the virtualbox manual? it proberly dosent matter really.. [13:43] circuitman: pick ubuntu then? [13:43] It just sets the silly icon [13:43] Dr_willis: ok [13:43] lol [13:43] tropsobor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244828 maybe useful [13:43] circuitman: good idea to check out #vbox too :p [13:43] google works also [13:43] as does common sense [13:43] Bizzeh_: my lucid mounts my G1 just fine [13:44] geek[hreak:what is vbox? is it a virutalbox [13:44] ActionParsnip, thats what i mean, it mounts it as a usb drive... thats it [13:44] no sync software, no interaction, no tethering, no nothing [13:44] just mount the card, thats it [13:44] VirtualBOX = vbox... [13:45] hello, I have a perl script that I have no idea how to run or where to put it. Any help? :) [13:45] ./script.pl [13:45] ... [13:45] Bizzeh_: there are tetering apps, my firmware can be usb bluetooth and a wifi device too [13:45] thanks, it doesn't matter where it's located correct? [13:45] chmod +x whatever.pl ./whatever.pl [13:45] xomp: depends on what its doing... [13:46] or you could double click it [13:46] depending how you want to run it [13:46] Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/VauAAhxr [13:46] I only have access to cli [13:46] Bizzeh_: you can also use rsync to syncronise the data on the sd card === andatche_ is now known as andatche [13:46] ActionParsnip, dunno about any of that, not seen any of it about at all [13:46] Dr_Willis, I'm trying to get permissions sorted on my server :) [13:46] anyone is using a nvidia card? [13:47] how is the G1 anyway? i have an X10 [13:47] I'm looking for a nvidia card for my kubuntu. A [13:47] card that doesn't get driver problems with 3D acceleration. [13:47] Bizzeh_: dig a little, there are guides on youtube which is what i used [13:47] Bizzeh_: you will need to root the device too [13:47] xomp: as long as you know where its at to give the path to run it.. it can be anywhere [13:47] Schenker: that would be just about any nVidia card :P [13:47] hey ... i have a hfsplus(journaled) drive attached to a system running a ubuntu live disk ... i want to copy data from another drive to the hfs+ drive... [13:48] great! thanks! [13:48] ActionParsnip, ah, so its not a standard feature? [13:48] ubuntu says it's not writable.. how do i change that? [13:48] Zider: are you using a nvidia card with desktop effects working? [13:48] Bizzeh_: no but i lik playing with my phone http://www.backuphowto.info/how-backup-android-and-htc-hero-phone [13:48] HFS+ is not writeable at all under linux - i thought. [13:48] * geekphreak on nvidia 9400 GT [13:48] i tried "mount -o remount,rw /media/hfsplusdrive" but that didnt work [13:48] Schenker: yes, but not in linux [13:48] just as chmod... [13:49] Zider: ah, ok [13:49] wen i boot my pc...it dont open my desktop.. instead it goes to terminal... i already restarted my pc by using sudo shutdown -r now but still it will not open my desktop and back to terminal again...it has an error message but i forgot the error message it gives me.. is there any solution to my problem? [13:49] ActionParsnip, is that guide a page dedicated to ctrl+a, ctrl+c, ctrl+p ? [13:49] Schenker: I do know nVidia is very good at linux drivers [13:49] Schenker: never had any problems when I used it [13:49] piojunbabia: error message would be nice to debug :) [13:49] im running multi-boot ubuntu/Win7, i made win7 default from grub bootloader, and gave myself 1 second to chose ubuntu instead, and seemingly its a bug in grub cus no matter how much i spam the up-button, that 1 second goes down to 0 before grub responds, thus im unable to enter ubuntu.. ideas how i can fix it? [13:50] Schenker: use the driver app in administration [13:50] Hans_Henrik: set it to be somthign reasonable like 10-30 sec... perhaps? [13:50] Hans_Henrik: incrememnet the count by 1, see if you get more time [13:50] geekphreak: how? help [13:50] Hans_Henrik: ive seen pc's where the usb keyboard dosent work in grub also. :) so it dosent matter what keys i hit on that box. === brad[werk] is now known as bradbook [13:50] Dr_Willis/ActionParsnip: i would if i could... how can i do that from win7? [13:50] piojunbabia: is it a new install, or an upgrade or a long standing install? [13:51] Hans_Henrik: use your ubuntu install cd as a live cd and edit it from there [13:51] ActionParsnip: I've done it, but it didn't work [13:51] thanks for the help dr willis [13:51] any ideas on how to make the drive bootable? [13:51] Schenker: you can add the nvidia vpau ppa and install nvidia-glx-180 and you willinstall the 195 driver [13:52] ActionParsnip: fresh install karmic last december 09, i have been enjoying ubuntuu for months now.... [13:52] Hans_Henrik: you'll have to mount your hard drive once you've booted up and then under that go to the boot/grub/ folder and look for a conf file. [13:52] ActionParsnip: sorry, but currently I'm using a Ati card [13:52] piojunbabia: ok if you hold shift at boot, can you boot an older kernel [13:52] Dr_Willis: i had the usb problem too, until i went in bios and activated "support for legacy usb" (or something like that) [13:52] piojunbabia: , what happens when you run in resuce mode [13:52] Schenker: oic [13:52] I have fresh installed mine just two days ago, and I love it. [13:52] ActionParsnip: I want to change it [13:53] Hans_Henrik: on the pc i had that issue with.. if i used that - windows wouldent even boot. :) [13:53] Schenker: can you boot to an older kernel? [13:53] Hans_Henrik: its been a quirky pc ever since i had it. :) [13:53] ActionParsnip: rescue mode? i dont know how to go to that mode...

[13:57] I gotta question for ya's. I've created my pub and priv key (ssh) but when I try to connect to my other pc I'm getting denied. probably something easy but I figured I'd ask. [13:57] frankscorner has nice info on wine too [13:57] !lucid | Schenker [13:57] Schenker: 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 [13:57] !ask | rakulonline [13:57] rakulonline: 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. :-) [13:57] oh, running low on battery power [13:57] Schenker: lucid uses the .32 kernes, lucid is not supported here [13:57] omg~ i Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/jaunty/Release.gpg [13:58] nixoeen, on sunday on the campus? [13:58] I've messed with permissions, copied over rsa priv key to my connecting pc concatenated my key to authorized_keys but nothing... [13:58] well, I have to go now.. [13:58] see you [13:58] thats a hard working student there [13:58] :P [13:58] thanks [13:58] tc folks, time to go , cya folks [13:58] i got to leave too, bye all [13:58] uoobief: i got that too, just disable it for a bit then re-enable it later to see if its ok [13:59] hexdump_: i always jsut 'keygen' then use the 'ssh-copy-id remotebox' command [13:59] unimatrix9, in Dormitory, in fact ;) [13:59] battery... [13:59] unimatrix9: video card, i have ATI Radeon [13:59] heheh okey [13:59] Good day all , is there any JRE except the one from sun and openjdk ? [13:59] hexdump_: oops.. 'ssh-keygen' then 'ssh-copy-id' [13:59] okey take care , [13:59] ok, i will try, thanks [13:59] ok I'll give it a go. [13:59] * unimatrix9 running to power up battery [14:00] Hello. Is there any reason I would NOT want to use the alternate CD to install Ubuntu? [14:00] Dr_Willis: thanks but how is it actually copied over? [14:00] nm that I'll read up on it. [14:00] thanks again. [14:00] vlt: if you then need to use the cd for a live environment for troubleshooting [14:00] wtf, why cant the default movie player play dvds? [14:01] Bizzeh_: you need libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repo [14:01] Dr_Willis: ya know there isn't any identify.pub [14:01] Bizzeh_: so the short answer is no, but with an extra package, yes [14:01] My girlfriend have a program she have to use from a remote mount. The probem is that to get the program to run she need access to some libs on the server. The sysadm have included them in the connect script that adds a LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The problem is that the computer gets so laggy when shes not at work.... [14:01] or is it referring to the key itself [14:02] hexdump_: i just use those commands on my homelan to set up passwordless logins and so forth btween the machines.. Ive never messed with anything deeper. [14:02] vlt: the alternate install is faster as it doesnt have to boot an x server first [14:02] ActionParsnip: Ok, thank you. [14:02] Hi all Im a bit new to RAID arrays etc. For some reason my RAID5 setup has unmounted itself and I'm worried cause I could of lost all my data. When I run the following commands I get the attached output - is this good news or bad news? http://www.pastie.org/925389 [14:02] Dr_Willis: ok, cuz I'm trying to setup RSA Authentication with port knocking. [14:02] Does anyone know if medibuntu is offline? Update manager is stuck and i suspect this may be why... [14:02] hexdump_: thats over my head then. [14:02] schone1: if it is lost, restore from backup. no worries [14:03] is there a way adding temporary path to ldconfig for remote libs? [14:03] chazco: i have seen that so i'll say yes [14:03] chazco: you are the 3rd person to ask today. so their server may be having some issues [14:03] ActionParsnip / Dr_Willis - Ah okay, thanks :) [14:03] ActionParsnip: Well the back up is old (yes I know I should of backed up more often) but are you able to tell me those outputs mean good or bad news? [14:04] rakulonline: you could run some exports before, then run the command [14:04] schone1: i dont use raid, my boards don't support it [14:05] I'm trying to make it as secure as possible. IP tables for specific ip blocking private ip addy. rejecting icmp requests, port knocking, rsa/dsa authentication passwordless login. ufw firewall, and IDS software. [14:05] ActionParsnip: Ok. [14:05] thats rediculous that ubuntu doesnt come with what i would consider a core feature of a media player now [14:05] Bizzeh_: its a legal thing [14:05] ActionParsnip: He's using mdadm raid which your _kernel_ should support. [14:05] Bizzeh_: so its not ridiculous at all [14:06] schone1: Your setup looks fine. [14:06] vlt: if i bough a new hdd it'd cost more than any of my systems are worth [14:06] (Oh, he#S gone already) [14:06] you mean canonical wont pay for mpeg2? === gundas is now known as schone1 [14:06] Bizzeh_: some countries don't allow dvd codecs afaik [14:06] Bizzeh_: its something like that [14:06] vlt: So my raid5 array has unmounted but not has gone and deleted everything? === bilalakhtar is now known as bilalakhtar96 [14:07] bizzeh: would you pay for it? chances are they'll charge you for it if they have to pay for it. :) [14:07] some countries dont allow crypto, ubuntu can still be downloaded into these countries [14:07] sorry i didnt catch that, export what? [14:07] tenmiles, i did pay for it, i downloaded the ati hardware accelerated mpeg2 decoder back in the winxp days [14:07] schone1: Your raid5 is resyncing [14:07] Bizzeh_: either way, there are some reasons they are not included, nor are many other codecs and they are to be manually installed by the user [14:07] i would rather have a decent decoder that ive paid for than none at all [14:08] Dr_Willis: trying to set it up so I'm going through proxy and screened subnet. [14:08] Bizzeh_: libdvdcss2 is free [14:08] its also a bit grey in the legal area :) [14:08] schone1: What does `blkid /dev/md0` say? [14:08] oesnt matter anyway, downloaded vlc [14:08] If I can figure out the first part I'll be alright [14:09] * Dr_Willis tends to use vlc. [14:09] Bizzeh_: vlc doesn't use multiple cores :) [14:09] * ActionParsnip uses gnome-mplayer mainly but vlcso i can control it with my g1 [14:09] vlt: im running on a qnap busybox linux system unfornutaly blkid is not a used command [14:09] I was thinkign i read about some updated vlc that added some new features. [14:09] was easier [14:10] vlt: just comes up with blkid: command not found [14:10] schone1: Then try `vol_id ...`, `lib/udev/vol_id ...` or `tune2fs -l ...` (... is /dev/md0) [14:11] hmm, liking upstart [14:11] to access the shared libs on server, what should i export? [14:11] Guys anyone knows a good channel about databases ? [14:11] I've shared a drive in samba, and given everyone access to create and delete files. Yet, VLC can't open a file in a subfolder. Do I have to share every single folder on the drive manually? [14:12] ActionParsnip: I didn't understand your statement regarding a new hdd. How'S that related to using RAID? [14:12] vlt: http://pastie.org/925632 tune2fs output [14:12] rakulonline: you'll need to mount the folder then add that the the path [14:13] if i export LD_LIBRARY_PATH the computer will search for every lib on server in first case.... [14:13] vlt: well i'd need a new hdd to use raid, considering all my systems are 7+ years old its not worth it as they are due to die soon [14:13] haavaros: check the permissions of the subdirs first. Its possible you have them a bit too secure === _silentAssassin is now known as mrigesh [14:13] schone1: So there actually is a file system on it ;-) [14:13] haavaros: make sure you can crud files outside of vlc through samba. I had issues making sure that my guests were being treated as the right user. [14:13] Hello. Quick question about the wubi installer: where in my computer is the image being downloaded to? [14:13] Hi, I want to make an ubuntu wiki in Albanian Language (how to install, connecting to internet etc) but I dont know where to host, is it possible to wiki.ubuntu.com [14:14] vlt: so it is resyncing - after that is done does it mean i can access it again? [14:14] !contribute | alket [14:14] alket: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [14:14] Valeriano: the folder where wubi is placed [14:14] tenmiles: I dunno what crud is. I can at least read transfer the file to my computer. Dr_Willis: What should the permissions be? [14:14] haavaros: create read update delete [14:14] alket: You wan tot make a wiki on your own site about ubuntu? [14:15] schone1: You can always access your md device, even while it's resyncing or when a whole (redundant) part the array is missing. That's the point in having RAID. [14:15] ActionParsnip, ubottu: I dont understand [14:15] alket: or you want to translate ubuntu wiki into albanian? [14:15] ActionParsnip: the problem is that i want to make my computer look for libs o n server if it doesnt find locally... [14:15] bilalakhtar: thanks! [14:15] ActionParsnip: I mainly use RAID to be able to continue work even when one of my drives fails. [14:15] vlt: sorry to sound stupid, but how? I can SSH in but can't find it anywhere [14:15] bilalakhtar: No just to add some pages in albanian about installing, configuring etc [14:15] schone1: Find what? It's there: /dev/md0 [14:15] vlt: i have a backup every 6 hours so if any do i dont care [14:16] vlt: yep but how do i access the files stored on the drive? [14:16] alket: read the link, there are ways to contribute translations [14:16] alket: adding pages is easy. just go to the page you want to add, and then click "Create an empty page" [14:16] *on the raid5 array [14:16] ActionParsnip: But when a dirve fails, you have to shutdown and restore first. But that may depend on your needs. === mrigesh is now known as _silentAssassin [14:17] i've just installed the virtual box and would like to boot from an iso image [14:17] tenmiles: Yep, I can crud in smb in that folder which VLC can't open a dvd from [14:17] vlt: when they do fail i'll just find someone else who has an "old" pc to sell for 30 quid and i gots a new rig :) [14:17] ActionParsnip: I could copy the libs but that would ruin the centralized update of libs... [14:18] schone1: Files are organised in file systems. File systems are stored on block devices. /dev/md0 is a block device. Mounting it to a mount point in your file system let you access the files. Check whether there's an entry for /dev/md0 or UUID=61e5e985-0beb-4f85-8277-e6a88da622ce [14:18] schone1: ... in your /etc/fstab [14:18] rakulonline: you can add multiple paths afaik, the mounted server store should be first in the list then the local afaik [14:18] I've got problem with cube. I've got only 2 desktop, but i saw on youtube, that other members got all cube - 6 desktops. Can you help me? [14:18] hello. how do i set a separate default player for movies/vidoes and a different one for music in ubuntu/gnome?

[14:31] plz help xD [14:31] ActionParsnip: my next question is .... let's say after I'm done with all the updates and network config, is there a way for me to make an ISO out of this newly updated Ubuntu that I spent all this time to do? Knowing that after a reboot and all these will be gone. [14:31] ikonia: thanks+1 ;) [14:31] kroson: please take your question to #ubuntu+1 [14:32] nice nice [14:32] oh nm that fails too...damn [14:32] schone1: There a file recovery tools that will examine a block device and _try_ to either restore (parts of) the inode table or to find certain file types by recognising their content. It is easy for example to identify the begin of a JPEG image video file. But you never know if you can get the whole file ... [14:32] cub: not sure from there, you can use the ISO customisation and update it then create a new ISO [14:32] schone1: *JPEG image OR video file* ;-) [14:32] vlt: ah ok so this e2fsck is running now what do i need to do to see if it is ok or not ok [14:33] schone1: It will tell you [14:33] vlt: this takes a while, yes? [14:33] How can i add new desktop in ubuntu 9.04 [14:33] schone1: Yes, depends on the size and the amount of inodes (files) [14:33] ok will leave it over night then crossing my finger [14:34] *fingers [14:34] vlt: thanks for the help! [14:34] ActionParsnip: so there is a tool from within Ubuntu for me to create a newly updated ubuntu from memory (since I booted off the CD), then write to a new ISO? Next time I boot off that new ISO it will have all the updates?

Any idea why the installer created only "/" and "swap" but no separate "/home"? Can I still use encryption for /home when it's not on an own partition or should I create /home manually to achieve this?

[14:53] vlt: did you do manual partitioning? [14:53] circuitman:select secondary [14:53] geekphreak: No, automatic. Maybe it chose not to create /home because the disk is rather small (3GB) ... [14:53] then cd/dvd device? [14:54] circuitman: yes [14:54] vlt: 3gb?? [14:54] circuitman: then select virtual image [14:54] vlt: man you need more space :) [14:54] u mean the iso image present on the host OS [14:54] geekphreak: For a basic installß [14:54] s/ß/?/ [14:54] circuitman: yes [14:54] ok [14:55] ok thanks [14:55] now shall i start the VM [14:55] anyone in here that also happens to be using a Elo Touchscreen monitor?

[14:59] is it possible to make Evolution check for new emails every X minute without having to start it? [14:59] frxstrem: technically not [14:59] vlt yes basically it encrypt your $HOME, so no one else can break in [14:59] frxstrem: evolution has to be on for it to work, but I believe it'll run in the background and check for emails from there. [14:59] circuitman: ok then open up the virtual media manager [15:00] vlt you can set it up later to manually [15:00] i read some error messages wen i log before i get to desktop, it will lead me to the terminal "/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY" and "Error reading block 524289(Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading inode and block bitmaps.

But most often after shutting down my machine when next time I power on my laptop(Dell Vostro 1320) I found Grub failure(no boot loader).For the temporary solution I always installed another Ubuntu by side by side installation and I got back my Grub loader. [15:16] I asked some of my friend who is using Ubuntu and Windows7 they never face such wired problem. No one can able to give me solution. Then,Once I format my HD and Repartition it again and installed Win7 then installed Ubuntu, it was running well but today I faced the same problem again, that means still I have the problem. Just minutes ago when I was working on my Laptop(Windows 7) for some reason I planed to restart to switch Ubuntu but unfortunately I face the sa [15:16] me problem .Again I installed the Ubuntu and got back boot loader. I NEED HELP,I NEED A SOLUTION. Please give me a solution. Now its pain for me. If possible please tell me why I am facing this wired problem and how could I install boot loader without installing a new Ubuntu.

There came various grub errors. Now with grub2 booting works, but needs ages. It is very long time showing "Grub loading.". On the first try it was able to continue at some point in time. I'm trying now again, but currently it is hanging. :-( [15:17] bilalakhtar:but i did'nt get [15:17] Hello! I have Ubuntu 9.10 and I lost sound, what can I do?

[15:18] I don't find them in /etc/bash_completion.d/ although I find those of xine of kaffeine there for example [15:18] piojunbabia: the startup disk check failed so it's probably disk errors [15:18] bilalakhtar:ya its working,i will send u the screen shot [15:19] eeevincent: is system upto date? [15:19] ActionParsnip: yes, sudo iwlist scan shows the wireless connection on eth1 and all the Bit Rates info there [15:19] ActionParsnip: Yes, just upgraded to Karmic some minutes ago [15:19] circuitman: no need you do your work [15:19] sab1: boot to livecd and reinstall grub [15:19] geekphreak, yup, but anyway bash completions do work with mplayer, it's just I want to edit the rules [15:19] stal: yea, i belive its disk error, what should i do?

[15:21] ActionParsnip: sorry i did not get u i am trying to acess my ubuntu remotely using vnc viewer but i am getting only black /blank screen [15:21] BPower: you should use the gui like the factoid says, if you are running a server you will need to modify /etc/hostname as well as /etc/hosts to make stuff work right [15:21] yeah , but I'm looking for the one of mplayer specifically, not any geekphreak [15:21] ActionParsnip: ok, done that...it's doing a few DHCPDISCOVER lines so far [15:22] oh ok [15:22] sporedi: yes, run nautilus when you get connected, it may help [15:22] BPower: /etc/hostname .. as the factoid states [15:22] ok [15:22] cub: then you are not getting dhcp, if you set a static ip does it work? [15:22] ActionParsnip: it says "No HDCPOFFERS received" , [15:22] sab1: this could help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [15:23] BPower: or type hostname in a terminal and press enter [15:23] what is the "factoid" you two are referring to? [15:23] ActionParsnip: i'll try to set an IP for it manually, but the wired connection does dhcp just fine [15:23] !hostname | BPower [15:23] noone any idea? :-( [15:24] and if i want to delete the 2ndly installed ubnutu,how can i do that?? [15:24] who's using 10.04 beta 2? [15:24] because now its full of multiple ubuntu in my laptop [15:24] ActionParsnip bastid_raZor: you're referring to the bot's answer? it doesn't mention anything about the GUI way of doing it...

Bandwidth does funny things too, independent of the dropped packets. I need to document & mail off to the ISP's network admin.

[19:19] epaphus: if you've done it 20 times and this is the first time you've had a problem, maybe you simply messed up on a step somewhere. can you just start over? [19:19] avis: theoretically, yes, but I don't control the upstream end, so it would be a headache. [19:20] epaphus: did you change partition layout? [19:20] ceil420, i already have . [19:20] geekphreak, during the cloning, no. Same size disk and brand [19:20] demon_D_MAN, it doesnt. no errors. [19:22] epaphus: so you just a get a grub prompt ? [19:23] geekphreak, correct. just that. [19:24] geekphreak: I'm pretty sure it's the ISP's fault - they got bought out a while ago, and the new guys seem kind of over their heads when it comes to commercial customers.

I naturally assumed this would have something to do with something linux did, possibly defragmenting the windows partition and since windows seemed to run faster than any time I've used the windows defrag I also assumed the linux defrag must be much better.

Do you use Samba or NFS? [20:36] clrg, yes it is using samba... I'm not sure honestly I'm new at this what would be the better way to do it? [20:37] do I just not need the ip at all? [20:37] Dantonic: Try smbfs instead of vfat as filesystem [20:37] Geekthras, r u there [20:38] kai235: to do what? [20:38] Dantonic: What I mean is to try the following: "//xxx.xxx.x.xxx/path /path/tomount vfat defaults 0 0" [20:38] clrg oh smbfs did the trick thanks...

[20:39] can any one please tell me how to solve this....http://paste.ubuntu.com/417195/ [20:40] Dantonic: Nope, it has nothing to do with that. When you mount a drive using Samba, what you get are files, not access to the filesystem itself. Your client does not care about the filesystem on the actual disk, only about the files. And in order to mount something using Samba, you need to specify that it is a Samba location, and not a regular VFAT drive. [20:41] kai235: maybe there is some mechanism to do that in /etc/acpi/ [20:41] erUSUL: checked that already:-( [20:42] clrg, I see. Is there a way to assign a name over the network to that particular location? without using an ip? for example if I had dynamic ips going due to dhcp is there a way that I could identify the network location some other way? [20:42] Hi. Doesn't ubuntu use GRUB anymore? I wanted to start GRUB by issuing "grub" in the terminal. Nothing happened but my computer telling me I could install grub by "apt-get install grub". How would I set the mbr without starting GRUB and doing it from there? [20:42] kai235: An ugly solution would be to use a cronjob, which checks /var/log/messages for typical wake-up messages, and the executes the script. But that would not be instantly after the wakeup.. [20:42] mads-: since karmic koala uses grub 2 [20:43] mads-: Is there a /boot/grub directory on the computer in question? [20:43] clrg, yes [20:43] mads-: GRUB is installed then =) [20:43] how likely is data corruption when resizing partitions on the Ubuntu LiveCD? [20:44] clrg, but I cannot execute "grub" - how would I then set my MBR? [20:44] frxstrem: Unlikely, if you don't make mistakes. But /always/ make a backup before doing anyting to your partitioning [20:44] hi all what does clearing / del. an inode with e2fsck do? [20:44] mads-: Try grub [20:44] clrg: okay, thanks :) [20:45] yo yo yo [20:45] frxstrem: Seriously, make a backup! [20:46] Hey guys, can someone give me a hand with midi related help [20:46] In general, how to run midi files, I'm in a sort of mess [20:46] vlt: hi vlt you there [20:46] inglor: i believe you need timidity [20:46] salut!

[20:48] clrg: well, I have a 10 GB partition for Windows and 18 GB for /home in Ubuntu, and I wanted to move some of the free space on the /home partition to the Windows partition using GParted [20:48] folks; when trying to play a DVD disc, with movie player, i see "An error occurred. Could not read from resource." does this mean the dvd drive is brokeN? it did this with two separate dvd dis [20:48] cs [20:49] bye [20:49] ActionParsnip: that's great and all, but my problem is that it doesn't play nice with ALSA [20:49] frxstrem: Windows doesn't like booting in a partition that changed its size. For ubuntu, its not a problem, but Windows might not like it [20:49] arooni-mobile___: have you installed the libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repo [20:49] arooni-mobiledo you have libdvdcss2 installed¿ if not check medibuntu [20:49] ActionParsnip: or at all for that matter [20:49] !medibuntu [20:49] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:50] Question about Ubuntu 9.04 and auto-connections to wireless networks.

Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem still occurs: libgudev-1.0-0, libthai-data, libthai0, libudev0, shared-mime-info, udev" [20:54] arooni-mobile___: if you can manually download the deb it can be installed using dpkg [20:54] frank1: I'm not sure if it's possible to do it once Ubuntu is already installed, but I believe you can choose to have specific directories, like /home, on other partitions (and possibly on other hard drives too, although I'm a bit unsure) in the installation process of Ubuntu [20:54] This issue I'm facing is that apt says those packages are the newest [20:55] wyclif: im running off the live cd now. otherwise my comp wont get past the login menu withough massive errors [20:55] frank1: have you ever used GParted before?

[21:41] zaxonspox, but still, i is considered as one screen by ubuntu [21:41] is there a way to fix the MBR? [21:42] cub: If you're interested in 10.04, I can say I've been using it since Beta1 and it hasn't treated me badly. [21:42] Dan4, by windows cd ?

[21:43] hahahahah thanks Zaxonspox [21:43] zaxonspox, lol [21:43] Yes Michaeldobrovits [21:43] Dan4 you need to either restore your Windows MBR, install a small Linux on your internal hard drive specifically for handling boot, or always keep the external hard drive connected when booting. [21:43] I can boot to windows or ubuntu with the external plugged in [21:44] Dan4 yes there is a way to restore Windows MBR.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [21:44] The SuperGrub cd would probably also work...... Be a pain though to use it every time. [21:44] isaac_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:44] Dan4 http://www.google.com/search?q=Restore+WIndows+MBR&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [21:44] Dan4, just fix the mbr with the windows cd. than, you can boot without the ex hdd and with it. [21:44] cu [21:44] Dan4 cant you use GRUB from external hdd to handle and run XP? [21:45] Stupid internet lag........ [21:45] Zaxonspox yes but i want to be able to boot to XP WITHOUT the external [21:46] Dan4 correct it is able [21:46] Dan4 http://www.google.com/search?q=Restore+WIndows+MBR&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [21:46] Michael are you referring to recovery console? then fix mbr command? [21:46] if i use flash heavy websites and click something in fire fox the entire firfox program die [21:46] Dan4 it requires some tinkering with command lines usually, but well worth it. [21:46] jake1 Ubuntu 64bit? [21:46] Dan4, you can do it either ways, by rapairing or by recovery console fixmbr [21:46] Isaac_ I'll check that link out [21:47] i'll try the fixmbr. Thanks guys! This chat hasnt let me down yet [21:47] Dan4, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/repairmbr.htm [21:48] hey I need some help getting projectm running in ubuntu [21:48] 32 bit [21:48] #ubuntu-testing [21:48] ive installed both libvisual-projectm and libprojectm2 [21:48] jake1 other flash websites are working? [21:48] Is there a way to increase the buffer size for a cdma modem [21:49] at times all of them seem to have alot of lag and stuff [21:49] youtube and stuff do as well [21:49] hey [21:49] hi [21:49] anyone know if the ircd used here is a private source or public? [21:49] indica: try #freenode [21:49] how use ubuntu application with keyboard shortcuts? [21:49] thx jrib [21:50] jake1 what your CPU? do you have video card drivers installed? [21:50] if i want my firefox on ubuntu to open video streams as well as on windows, what applications do I need? VLC is one.. [21:51] skruigners applications have own kbd shortcats [21:51] indica, you can try ping.eu whois for this server and than tell me also [21:51] whats the uname for processor [21:51] but don't work in ubuntu but in windows yes [21:51] jake1: -p [21:52] Tomg: says unknown [21:52] skruigners, did you tried keyborad shortcuts in system perferences [21:52] jake1: try inxi [21:53] jake1: You don't happen to know yourself what your processor is? [21:53] it is an intel 32 bit duel core 1.8 if i remember right [21:53] jake1 flash videos are handeled by CPU, if its like 1GHz CPU it will lag [21:53] nope i have a game to play with keyboard but don't work only with mouse^^ === Sorell is now known as Sorrell [21:54] jake1: Have you tried with any other browsers? [21:54] yeah it lags really bad on them but it doesn't just exit the window of firefox [21:54] that why i say YES for Apple war against Flash [21:55] skruigners, strange. can i ask what game? [21:55] dofus [21:55] soon html 5 will rule flash and everything don't worry flash will end in a few years [21:56] zaxonspox: from what i heard the flash is really only optimized and works well with win7 64bit [21:56] michaeldobrovits TOO long i am a little in web development, i Hate Flash [21:56] zaxonspox: thought i can easily watch HD video on this ubuntu [21:56] brontosaurusrex, flash hd works great on my pentium d [21:57] brontosaurusrex: There isn't even a 64 bit version of flash for windows. [21:57] zaxonspox, also my msi netbook hhhh [21:57] I got no flash worries now with my shiny new i7 lappy [21:57] brontosaurusrex the nwhat is a point for Flash to be an "Multiplatform" program? [21:57] 64bit flash 10 has been good to me [21:58] +1 tom [21:58] zaxonspox: the only point i have with flash is that it is multiplatform and it plays h264 video [21:58] duffydack not every ones got a shiny new hardware :P [21:59] i mean about optimization, one should ask adobe i guess [22:00] using both Movie Player and VLC I've tried to watch a dvd. i can see the intro video leading into the main menu but the actual video wont play [22:00] any insight? [22:00] zch3: What movie? [22:00] Its a national geographic movie about national parks [22:01] zch3: Can you check "dmesg" for any read errors from the DVD drive? [22:02] I'm not familiar with what dmesg is [22:02] zch3 is it a DVD Video with Menu? [22:02] yes [22:02] !medibuntu > zch3 [22:02] zch3, please see my private message [22:02] zch3: install then libdvdcss2 from medibuntu [22:03] tracking. ty [22:03] zch3 sounds like only beginning was choosen to see, can you manually choose the Main Video to watch? [22:03] i'll try one second === FF666 is now known as FFF666 [22:04] nope, cant not read from resource is the error im getting [22:04] zch3: If it actually causes vlc to crash then I think it's a new kind of DRM I've encountered recently. [22:05] someone knows why my grub shows twice linux and twice linux recovery but they are not same at the of each rel. are dif. nus [22:05] but why would flash kill my entier mozilla like it doesn't say force close or anythign it disapears into thin air [22:05] Horus different Kernels installed? [22:06] Horus: Ubuntu keeps older kernel versions when you upgrade to newer ones, in case the new ones don't work for some reason. You can remove the older kernels with synaptic / apt [22:06] jake1 because Flash sits heavily on resources [22:07] jake1: Maybe try running firefox through command line. You could probably get a better idea what's happening. [22:07] jake1 no support from GPU is also a shot into feet [22:07] Ok 'cause when i login the old one it reboot after 5 mins. is it damage...??? [22:08] c'è nessuno? [22:08] chi mi può dare una mano? [22:09] nasta english or #ubuntu-it [22:09] ok [22:09] i don't find it [22:10] i am using xchat and when i try to enter room that is in arabic the topic and the words i cannot read them they are in strange language ... what should i do? [22:10] where is the italian chat for ubuntu? [22:10] !it | nasta [22:10] nasta: 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) [22:10] I have randomly named album covers in my Music directory. How do I rename them all to folder.jpg? this is what I have so far... mv */*.jpg */folder.jpg [22:10] livefree_, do u see arabic in web or documents? [22:10] !it [22:11] yes i do === casey is now known as gnaffa [22:11] nasta: Type "/join #ubuntu-it" into your IRC client (without the quotes) to join the italian ubuntu channel. [22:12] livefree_, probably the font inside preferences doesn't support arabic [22:12] livefree_, you can try another one i think [22:12] so i cannot do anything? [22:13] i tried konversation but the same [22:13] hmmm [22:13] livefree_, just one sec [22:13] my brother just gave me his ipod [22:13] doesnt want it anymore [22:13] ok [22:14] i connected the ipod to rythmbox and it shows some songs ... but how do i move them from the ipod to my harddisk? [22:14] does anyone use the "Both Alt keys together" shortcut to switch keyboard layouts? [22:14] livefree_, http://eglug.org/book/export/html/564 search for arabic [22:14] rapha, you should be able to drag and drop [22:14] thank you [22:15] Greetings, all. I'm trying to install the ubuntu netbook remix on my acer aspire one netbook using a flash drive. can anyone help me for a moment? [22:15] hi all, there is a plugin that doesn't work with 64bits firefox (or chrome) called veetle..even with the wrapper...is there any way to install a 32bits firefox in parallel in the system? I've googled..can anyone point me a guide or a solution?tnx [22:15] SimSimma: where? to "Music"? [22:15] SimSimma: ah, that works, thanks! :-) [22:16] polydeuces what your problem? [22:16] polydeuces, come to private [22:16] polydeuces, or not [22:16] How do I do that? [22:16] Sorry, I haven't used this client before (pidgin) [22:16] Hello, I have ubuntu 9.10 installed on my netbook, I was wondering if anyone here could help me set up wireless internet and my broadband. [22:17] what is your wireless card? [22:17] polydeuces, zaxonspox tried to answer you, ask in main channel [22:17] Mine? [22:17] Fillayy, try opening System > Administration > Drivers [22:17] SimSimma: i've never owned an iPod before - there's lots of stupid folders on it. can i just delete them and create my own hierarchy or will that destroy the ipod? [22:17] *Hardware drivers [22:17] polydeuces do you have already Ubuntu on Flash Drive or wonting to do that but dont know how? [22:17] oh, okay. Zaxon, my problem is thus: everytime I go to use the usb boot creator, it gives me an error message pertaining to the autorun. [22:17] Janhouse, nothing shows up. [22:18] ok [22:18] rapha you cant do that [22:18] SimSimma: then i guess that's what they mean by "apple lock-in" [22:18] When I try to see wireless networks around my area, nothing even shows up. [22:18] is your wireless card working (showing up in network manager applet)? [22:18] oh [22:18] rapha, Exactly. I own a Sansa Fuze now where I am able to do that. [22:18] is there a way to do an LS and just see directories [22:18] I've tried creating a separate ISO using Magic ISO Maker, mounting it and running it from there, nothing seems to work. I noticed some others were having the same issue, and there was a work-around, though it wasn't at all detailed. [22:18] SimSimma: the drag-and-drop only _copied_ the files. how can i now _delete_ them from the ipod?! [22:18] Were would I find the network manager applet? [22:19] next to clock [22:19] polydeuces what is this an error? [22:19] that icon where wireless networks usually appear [22:19] Nothing shows up, Wired Network (disconnected) in grey and also gives me VPN connections option. [22:19] Allow me a moment to pull it up [22:19] rapha, You should have to either go to the hard disk in Computer or Move to Trash from within rythmbox right click menu [22:19] Fillayy, so you must install drivers... [22:20] or... have you enabled your wireless card? [22:20] hi guys im trying to setup setup samba but its erroring out on the installation, i have had installed before, but it was glitching out on me (probably because of misconfiguration) so i had to do a purge === Mighty_Penguin is now known as chris4585 [22:20] laptops usually have some on/off button [22:20] Yes. [22:20] here is the erros im getting w/ firefox and flash [22:20] http://www.pastebin.org/157739 [22:20] I see the on off button but it reads off. [22:20] did you turn it on before starting ubuntu or after? [22:20] I try to turn it on, the light wont change and remains off. [22:20] Since I have gotten ubuntu it hasnt worked. [22:20] rapha, You could also try download Rockbox to accomplish that folder organizing thing but I havent used an ipod in years and it depends on your model [22:21] SimSimma: that's what i had expected, yes. but both options "delete" and "move to trash" are greyed out in rythmbox and when i hit the "delete" key in nautilus, nothing happens. also when i detach the ipod it says there's no music on it but in rythmbox i can see the music clearly. [22:21] An uncaught exception was raised: [Error 5] Access is denied: u'F:\\autorun.inf [22:21] Fillayy do you have had wifi turned on while powering on Ubuntu? [22:21] With my laptop I sometimes have to reboot, turn it on and then start Ubuntu [22:21] rapha, what version ipod are you using? [22:21] Yes I did haveit on zax. [22:21] SimSimma: it says "Model No. A1236" on the back [22:21] ok [22:21] I mean Mini, Nano, Touch? [22:22] Fillayy, try opening terminal and writing lspci [22:22] SimSimma: i wouldn't know how to find out - never considered buying an apple device [22:22] * rapha will google "ipod" [22:22] polydeuces copy your files from this Flash Drive to your hard Disk, make sure it is FAT32 and go to USB Creator Tool [22:22] try to find your wireless card in device list [22:22] Did it. [22:22] rapha, lol.... just go to the Wikipedia page [22:22] rapha that's what I used to do. It has pics and all [22:22] fo example I have: 30:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02) [22:22] this is my wireless card [22:22] zaxon -- there are no files on the flash drive. i'm trying to put them onto the flash dive. [22:22] what is yours? [22:23] SimSimma: it looks like this: https://www2.lsmsecure.com/itd/shop/images/T/Apple%20Ipod%20Nano%20Silver.jpg [22:23] Would it be, Network controller: Broadcom corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [22:23] Fillayy, try ifconfig in terminal and see if you have wlan0 [22:23] polydeuces you dont copy them manually, you should use USB Creator Tool [22:23] fillayy [22:23] yes [22:23] you need to do an ndiswrapper for it [22:23] SimSimma: yeah, according to Wikipedia it should be a third generation 4GB iPod Nano [22:24] rapha, I believe nano's are supported (unless of course they made a new version or updated its firmware, stupid Apple). you may just have to remount it [22:24] How do I do one of those? [22:24] umm [22:24] Zaxon, that's what I've been trying to do. When I select the ISO to transfer to the flash drive, and click the button to initiate the process, I get the error. [22:24] I guess for b43 was [22:24] rapha, thats a 3rd Gen version I believe cuz my sister had that version [22:24] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [22:24] rapha, try to remount the device but close rhythmbox first [22:24] Fillayy, open a terminal --> type ifconfig --> the commands output lists your network interfaces [22:24] rapha, then unmount and remount [22:25] jake1: So it's actually your sound giving you errors. [22:25] Couldn't find package, Hanhosue. [22:25] yeah thanks for the tip of running it from terminal [22:25] polydeuces then in USB Creator Tool select your Flash Drive sdxY (like sdb1) format it, and then continue to select the ISO file [22:25] Fillayy, open synaptic and search for b43 [22:25] it said that about 15 times then died [22:25] but i didn't cutt and paste the same error 15 times [22:26] hola [22:26] So do you have pulseaudio installed? [22:26] Hi, how can i mount an external usb harddrive on my ubuntu server ? [22:26] Nothing comes up for b43 [22:26] tomg: yes i do [22:27] SimSimma: did as you said, but still unable to delete the music on it. (it's in iPod_Control/Music/ on the device) - it also insists that it has no music on it [22:27] jake1: I wish I could help, but I never use pulseaudio. It simply never works for me. [22:27] Fillayy, weird.... What version are you using? [22:27] When it typed in ifconfig, only two things poped up. It doesn't look like my wireless is there. [22:27] Ubuntu [22:27] 9.10 on an HP Mini [22:27] zaxon, that appears to have worked. [22:27] ok [22:27] thank you! [22:27] SimSimma: my brother did say something about having tried out a software other than iTunes on his mac since iTunes got on his nerves. maybe that other software broke it? [22:27] tomg: it doesn't work for me either aparently i had to switch from it for MP3's To play in rythermbox [22:27] 9.10 has b43-fwcutter in apt [22:28] Can I safely remove kernel header files, assuming I will not be needing to install anything from source? [22:28] Fillayy, did it worked before? [22:28] rapha, iit probrably was Floola its crossplatform program that is much better than itunes in my opinion [22:28] rapha, give Floola a try [22:28] Maybe try to reload synaptic repositories [22:28] sudo apt-get update [22:28] My internet has worked before with Ubuntu === AngryPunk__ is now known as AngryPunk [22:28] Fillayy, same version? [22:28] No [22:28] Older one. [22:29] Janhouse, don't I need internet to update? [22:29] Fillayy, i also experience similiar issue with my msi wind [22:29] I can't even get internet using ethernet cable. [22:29] can't you plug in cable? [22:29] what? :/ [22:29] Yeah :( [22:29] rapha, one more thing what does typing "mount" into the terminal produce [22:29] jake1: Look through this bug report I found. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/274577 [22:29] I am restarting [22:29] sounds weird [22:30] rapha, for the ipod's filesystem [22:30] Fillayy, really weird [22:30] Awh crap... lol [22:30] I even tryed Netbook Remix and nothing [22:30] SimSimma: /dev/sdb2 on /media/Nico's iPod type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) [22:31] Fillayy, i managed to get mine to work with ubuntu 8.04 after i've compiled wireless module and sometimes it still dies [22:31] !remove xubuntu [22:31] Fillayy, how old is your Ubuntu setup disc/usb? [22:32] !delete xubuntu [22:32] awesome, got internet when plugged in and reset, maybe i can update everything now. [22:32] I installed using SD card. [22:32] oh, ok [22:32] so [22:32] update apt repositories and then install b43-fwcutter [22:32] whats the command to update? [22:32] sudo apt-get update [22:33] rapha, try removing it using sudo on the command line such as sudo rm -ir "/media/Nico's iPod" [22:33] or open synaptic and press reload [22:33] It's updating right now. [22:33] Fillayy, good luck. [22:33] SimSimma: not sure I get what you're suggesting - with the "-i" switch i would have to press "yes" manually for a couple hundred files? [22:34] b43, what is the command for that one? Sorry, I haven't used Linux in a while. [22:34] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [22:34] When I try to remove sunjava with APT, it forces the install of openjava. Is there any resolution for a user who doesn't want java support at all? [22:34] Fillayy: what computer are you trying to get wireless working on? [22:34] Hp mini [22:35] Hmm... do you know specifically which card it has? [22:35] is it fast? I am thinking of buying netbook some day :D [22:35] Alright, got the b43 [22:35] It is a great laptop, just make sure you get 2 gigs of ram for it and you are in the clear. [22:35] Janhouse: ANYTHING is fast if it runs Linux ™ [22:35] xD [22:35] after installing, I guess you have to run it? [22:36] sudo modprobe bc43 [22:36] rapha, yep. it's a precaution. You can remove it if your sure [22:36] or open that System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and it should be there [22:36] Janhouse, don't go for a netbook unless you can manage without hd playback and heavy flash loaded webpages [22:36] anyway, after setting it up you should reboot and check if it loads automatically.. [22:36] michaeldobrovits, can't you buy netbook with Nvidia ION? [22:36] what is the best way to install xp on ubuntu laptop? xen, virtualbox or something else [22:36] What? [22:37] What is Nvidia ION?! [22:37] SimSimma: just found something that might be even better ... in Synaptic there's a tool called "gtkpod" ... gonna try that one out first :) [22:37] Just do what michael said and stay away from netbooks [22:37] the flash player plugin sux on my firefox 3.6 [22:37] titanium: iam using virtualbox [22:37] Janhouse, you can or even upgrade normal one with crystal hd but still it'll climb 80% cpu load [22:37] It's not working correctly [22:37] nvidia ion is video card for netbooks and other small pc's [22:38] Jan, brb gonna get food. It is installing the driver now and im going to reboot. [22:38] SimSimma: it does offer to delete the files but then when you press "Apply" it gives an error "couldnt delete file such and such" for every file [22:38] Oh wait. [22:38] I have a choice in the hardware drivers. [22:38] Broadcom B43 or STA [22:38] you have? [22:38] What one to pack [22:38] b43 [22:38] pick [22:38] k [22:38] Fillayy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:38] press on it and push activate button [22:38] rapha, what does gtkpod or rm? [22:38] rapha, what is such and such? [22:39] SimSimma: that's strange; the mount command had shown the file system to be mounted rw but when I try the rm -ir it complains "rm: cannot remove `/media/Nico\'s iPod/.DS_Store': Read-only file system" [22:39] SimSimma: such and such are the music files [22:39] My my screen went blank after I installed, I can see my mouse still though. [22:39] Although it is frozen... [22:39] zaxonspox: i have installed it before... but i had the problem, tha i got only a virtual graficcard [22:39] rapha: Sorry to ask but what are you trying to do? [22:39] how can i get the real one? [22:40] rapha, I dont use apple products normally. but the ipod is hfsplus which is the mac file system. I dont know if it has write support (it should though) ill check [22:40] TomG: my brother doesnt want his ipod anymore so he gave it to me and now i'm trying to delete all the songs on it and then put my own there. the strange thing is, i was able to copy the songs to my harddisk and listen to them, but the ipod claims there's no music on it. [22:40] when i'm watching videos online (example: on youtube), sound is ok but video is choking... some help??? i'm using 9.10... sorry for bad English [22:40] titanium you are saing you want to play games on XP on VirtualBox and you need a phisical GPU? [22:41] rapha: I suggest you simply bite the bullet and load up itunes on a mac of windows OS then reload the IPOD on that [22:41] stoneman: install video card Driver [22:41] zaxonspox: i don't play games.. i develop software [22:41] Oh crud... [22:41] rapha, according to Wiki "There has been some success in porting HFS+ to Linux, at least in non-journaled read/write. If the filesystem is journaled, it will default to mount in read-only mode, but it can be forced to ignore the journal temporarily (by using the 'force' option)." [22:41] SimSimma: well, that gtkpod application claims to specifically support this model ipod and it also claimed to be able to delete the music from it which then didnt work. so i'm guessing it is kinda broken. [22:41] zaxonspox, me 2 :) [22:41] rapha: After that, then move back to linux and start fresh [22:41] how do i delete all the contents of a big directory? rm doesn't wanna do it [22:41] Fillayy, working? [22:41] titanium then looks like you dont need a phisicall GPU [22:41] need a nearly envireoment like a real xp installation... with all ist ressources [22:41] rapha, you can always format it [22:41] aLDCC SEND LOLDONGSADFKJGFHKGHJKDSHGKJDSHGKJh897fskuhfsdjhfa [22:42] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [22:42] I think nothing is working at all, after I start up computer, everything freezes and goes black. [22:42] TomG: might be a good idea ... i got a VirtualBox windows machine sitting somewhere ... will i need some sort of apple account or something? [22:42] michaeldobrovits U2 what? :P [22:42] SimSimma: under linux? with hfsplus? [22:42] rapha, to something like Fat32 file system. [22:42] Hey, I'm trying to get this USB of mine to store a persistent session. I tried the Windows tool available from pendrivelinux.com, along with a couple other sets of instructions both from there and from elsewhere, but the USB never remains persistent. Right now I'm running a very non-persistent session from my live USB; is there a way to install it persistently to the drive it's on now? (Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64) [22:42] :\ [22:42] rapha: No, you can just download it from whereever itunes is. [22:42] i tried once but i fuc*** all xD... my video card is ati radeon 9200 any link??? [22:42] TomG: okay, sounds like maybe the best solution [22:42] zaxonspox, need virtual system that will give me full 3d acceleration [22:43] Something similar happened to me once. But I was testing alpha release :D [22:43] rapha: That is personally what I do with my sister's IPOD when problems occur [22:43] michaeldobrovits, titanium did you guys installed Guest Additions? [22:43] zaxonspox, virtualbox is restricted to 128mb gpu memory [22:43] zaxonspox: i9s it possible to act between xp and linux? [22:43] Alright, no wireless. [22:43] yep [22:43] TomG: that's funny, everybody seems to have siblings with iPods, but none of their own :) [22:43] I read somewhere that the CD no longer comes with the tool to do that; I was wondering if it would have the same effect if I downloaded it myself. [22:43] rapha: I would never buy one myself [22:43] no have bare basic installation [22:43] titanium yes- network, shares, www [22:44] maybe try reinstalling :/ [22:44] joshdreamland, install it properly using the livecd installer, to the usb drive... [22:44] rapha, Following the heard [22:44] rapha because the parents all have "walkmans" or "discmans" something their kids go.. "whats that?" [22:44] rapha: Proprietary junk like IPODs just frustrate me [22:44] usually you just have to update repositories and then install b43 [22:44] rapha, although I used to have one it was an Ipod Mini. So it was all good. [22:44] i tried once but i fuc*** all xD... my video card is ati radeon 9200 any link for driver? [22:44] zaxonspox: i mean... i develop on linux with eclipse, and want to handle with ms-access... that should work? [22:44] joshdreamland, or use the creator tool in the livecd.. [22:44] Alright, I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx, and the sound will simply not work. I have tried a LOT of suggested fixes and troubleshooting, but none of them seem to have any effect. [22:44] duffydack: It won't let me select the USB as the disk. [22:45] TomG: yeah, same for me ... but since it was for free i thought i would give it a try, see what the experience was like under Ubuntu, if it was usable and all [22:45] Also, ubutu (karmic) was installed via wubi. [22:45] *ubuntu [22:45] TomG: proprietary sure, but I'd say that the iPhone definitely was one of the forces behind pushing 3.5G / 4G [22:45] ok, my updates are finished now i have to reboot. [22:45] SimSimma: you do seem happier with your Creative device [22:45] rapha: I can say it is very much usable, with patience of course [22:45] TomG: patience like loading up itunes on windows and reinitializing it? =) [22:45] rapha: You may also want to try doing it under Amarok, I hear lots of praise from people who use it on that. [22:45] stoneman what is your problem? [22:46] michaeldobrovits is 128 MB of GPU too less? [22:46] zaxonspox, yep [22:46] TomG: if even an rm -rf on the console doesnt work, i doubt amarok has a trick to counter that [22:46] rapha, it's a Sansa. I love it. It plays OGGs and FLACs and is pretty resilient sucker considering how rough I am with it. [22:46] michaeldobrovits what for do you need more? [22:46] zaxonspox, games [22:46] zaxonspo when i'm watching videos online (example: on youtube), sound is ok but video is choking... some help??? i'm using 9.10... sorry for bad English [22:46] SimSimma: oggs and flacs is a giant plus ofc! [22:47] rapha: Well if you did that on an IPOD, it'd just wipe it out and you'd be left with a flash drive [22:47] rapha, I am looking at a Cowon player for my next device. It can play MKVs and tons of more [22:47] * rapha would never have bought himself ANY sort of music player ... [22:47] Okay guys, I'm going to give installing this on my netbook a shot. Does anyone have experience installing the ubuntu netbook remix onto an acer aspire one? Is there anything I'll need to do to ensure that my wireless will work? [22:47] rapha, you can also try installing Rockbox on that ipod. It''ll play OGGs and FlACs and support ReplayGain [22:47] TomG: doesnt work anyway - "read-only filesystem" (despite mount showing it as rw) [22:47] stoneman go to ati/amd website - they have a driver serach panel, enter your video card, dowload drivers and read install instructions [22:48] SimSimma: but to install rockbox i'll need itunes again, right? [22:48] When I go to my update manager and try to update I get and error. dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [22:48] rapha, Nope. Its a third-party firmware http://www.rockbox.org [22:48] aaaah! [22:48] try running that in terminal [22:48] stoneman alternatively you can check System>>Administration>>Harware (Proprietary drivers) [22:48] rapha, you just have to hope your device is supported. which I think it is [22:48] in that case i won't even try itunes [22:48] For Lucid use: Squid version 3 and up... http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions [22:49] hey... my flash plugin is not working correctly on my firefox 3.6. Videos on youtube, online games and another stuffs works fine. But i'm trying to open a broadcasting on justin.tv, and when i'm on the "allow" page, it doesn't appear... the "allow window" is in flash (sry about english...) [22:49] Anyone into TV tuner cards in ubuntu, i need some helping hands here. [22:49] SimSimma: aw, looks like only nano 1st gen is supported :( [22:49] zaxonspox, do you know of a virtual system that can use my gtx 285 acceleration? [22:49] rapha: what is your iPod predicament? [22:50] rapha, Yep. Guess one of the other methods is the only solution [22:50] SimSimma: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodNano3GPort [22:50] michaeldobrovits mayby try VMware (yes, it cost $$) or install games thru WINE (Proprietary 3D drives are need) [22:51] zaxonspox it says: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [22:51] jasmuz: it has music on it which i can play with rythmbox alright, but the ipod itself says there was no music on it and can't delete the music either - not in rythmbox, or nautilus, or on the commandline. [22:51] jasmuz: You must load the driver correctly. First find out what driver to use, then how to load it: rmmod drivername ; modprobe drivername tuner=12 etc=34 ... [22:51] Silly question, where do I set the master password for seahorse (or whatever agent is answering the ssh-agent interface in Gnome)? [22:51] rapha, Yep well try either reformating it to a more compliant filesystem like FAT32 or rebuilding it with Itunes! [22:51] Bah, installation always makes me want to scream. "If all goes well, you should now be booting from your own personal Live Ubuntu 9.10 USB that allows you to save most of your changes persistently." All /did/ go well, but my USB still isn't persistent. [22:52] zaxonspox, i have vmware but never tried it to see what goes there because i don't belive that it'll work and wine doesn't work good, for games i use seperate windows partition [22:52] stoneman is list filled with some drivers you can install? if not go to website [22:52] ïëàêà. îäíàêî =( [22:53] rapha: i've had that issue before, you can go 2 ways, do a file checkup with gtkPod or reset your ipod [22:53] SimSimma: from what i understand from what TomG has said, reformatting it would basically brick it? [22:53] michaeldobrovits thats why games i didnt see from long time, so iam just learning/working :P [22:53] jasmuz: is there a way to reset it with linux? [22:53] Brimstones: well, it gets loaded by default, but i don't know if its the correct driver, i get no signal at all in tvtime. [22:53] rapha, in the settings directory you can reset it. [22:53] duffydack: I missed your reply, sorry. What LiveCD creator tool? [22:54] Jan [22:54] rapha: i do recommend you use gtkpod, it will fix your database, which is the issue here. [22:54] yes? [22:54] I figured it out, it wasn't the b43, it was the STA driver. [22:54] does anyone know how GROWL is called in ubuntu? [22:54] jasmuz: Tvtime is a good program. See which driver is loaded for it, google for your tv card and see how others load it etc. [22:54] That driver has everything running smooth. [22:54] with broadcom card? [22:54] oh, ok :) [22:54] Yes. [22:54] congrats! :) [22:55] zaxonspox, there r some good games out there and most of them are 10 - 15 hours gameplay so you can manage to play work and play [22:55] al-tabq: GROWL, a pidgin plugin? [22:55] Thank you for your help, I'd be nowhere if it wasn't for you. [22:55] rapha, perhaps I dont know for sure. When I had one I always rebuilt it in Itunes after formatting but you have a new fangled one [22:55] I'll come back when I break something! Thanks! [22:55] jasmuz: Do searches using tvtime after each of the ways you load the driver [22:55] :D [22:55] joshdreamland, i mean the growl like systemwide notifier that rhythmbox, transmission etc are using [22:55] joshdreamland, the startup disk creator, assuming you have your iso handy on maybe another partition thats accessible from livecd [22:55] Brimstones: what you are recommending is flawed [22:55] ? [22:55] hey... my flash plugin is not working correctly on my firefox 3.6. Videos on youtube, online games and another stuffs works fine. But i'm trying to open a broadcasting on justin.tv, and when i'm on the "allow" page, it doesn't appear... the "allow window" is in flash (sry about english...)! Someone can help me? [22:56] joshdreamland, it can make a liveusb with persistence. [22:56] duffydack: I have access to a copy of the ISO, yes. How do I access this creator? [22:56] I'm gettin an error of: "could not access PID file for nmbd" and I can't type anything in the console. Even in recovery mode. Help? [22:57] Brimstones: i have a card with an SAA7130HA chipset, it gets recognized under /etc/modprobe.d/options as: options saa7134 card=10 tuner=43 alsa=1 [22:57] joshdreamland, system/admin - startup disk creator? [22:57] michaeldobrovits firstly i would need to make work my problematic Integrated ATI Radeon HD3200, the find a solution for WINE/Virtual XP to work properly [22:57] al-tabq: I was unaware GROWL was more than just a compatibility program on Windows [22:57] jasmuz: I have the 7134 :) [22:57] joshdreamland, isn't it the notifier in mac? [22:57] duffydack: Nope, that was the first place I checked. =\ [22:57] Okay guys, wish me luck! :D [22:57] Is there a settings file somewhere that dictates what the default shutdown action is? [22:57] al-tabq: It might be. I know little about Mac's inner workings. [22:58] Brimstones: any recommendations then? [22:58] jasmuz: Realod it with dirrering tuners, begin at 1 and go to 50 [22:58] I have xbmc running on top of a minimal install, and it looks like when I hit shutdown or the power button it's not doing a full shutdown [22:58] jasmuz: Realod it with differing tuners, begin at 1 and go to 50 [22:58] Spellings :P [22:58] I am logged in via "sudo chroot /mnt/karmic-uec-amd64 su - ubuntu", but /etc/environment is not getting parsed. Why? [22:58] joshdreamland, no point in that [22:59] jasmuz: it's probably just me being blind, but where is the option to fix the ipod database in gtkpod - can't find it? [22:59] duffydack: Ah, I found it. Thank you. [22:59] Brimstones: reload the card number you mean, right? until i find one in the 50 that works?? [22:59] jasmuz: tuner=1-50 ... the 7130 should be ok as card type [23:00] rapha: Main menu--->Check ipod files [23:00] jasmuz: Its hard to autoprobe those, because it takes too much time to find those channel-freqs. Thats why its so hard. [23:00] jasmuz: that spits out an amazing number of errors [23:01] warnings, rather [23:01] rapha: have it check the filesystem.. and reset it if you may. [23:01] I got a quick question [23:01] jasmuz: You know how long it takes to reliably scan all chennels on a regular tv right ? :( [23:01] Brimstones: how do i the procedure? [23:01] channels [23:01] jasmuz: more erros ... looks like i'll have to go with iTunes [23:02] Can anyone help me on a quick question? === ganja_ is now known as ganja [23:02] djknitex: ask [23:02] !anyone | djknitex [23:02] djknitex: 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? [23:02] !ask | djknitex [23:02] djknitex: 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. :-) [23:02] Reload the driver (rmmod drivername : modprobe drivername WithDiffereningparams, test tvtime) [23:02] if I get the beta of 10,04, and when the full release is out, can I upgrade to the full from the beta? [23:02] rapha: while checking the files, you are supposed to be able to fix it. [23:03] does anyone know how the notifier app is called which displays pidgin/rhythmbox/trasmission notes in the top right of your desktop by default? [23:03] djknitex, yes. [23:03] hi, I can't connect to my SSH server. In my login screen, it was written "response: fzSftp started; command: open name@address; error :connection timed out; error : could not connect to server. My 22 port is open through my router and "ssh localhost" allow me to connect. What should I do ? Thk you [23:03] djknitex: yes, try #ubuntu+1 for lucid help [23:03] If so, do I still do it from the update manager? [23:03] jasmuz: it offers me nothing but to click "OK" - gtkpod 0.99.14 [23:03] jasmuz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1189681 [23:04] Anyone know a tool to test the integrity of an SD card? [23:04] djknitex, yes or from the command line using dist-upgrade [23:04] yo yo yo [23:04] oh alright, thanks everyone, that's all I needed to know [23:04] rapha, can you at least sync it with Amarok? [23:04] Brimstones: thanks. [23:04] I have a shell script that I want to execute on Ubuntu startup. It is on the desktop. How can I get it to execute when Ubuntu starts? (I'm on Jaunty) [23:04] dugger5688: what issue are you having? [23:05] jasmuz: my step mom's SD card blanked on her, I'm thinking user error, but I wanted to check to make sure it's not dead. [23:05] calum: add an entry in te startup item to run the script [23:05] !startup | calum [23:05] calum: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:05] hej krejzole [23:05] calum copy it to /etc/init.d/ make symlink to /etc/rcS.d/ [23:05] jasmuz: Np, dont give up because its cool to have tv on the computer. Does tvtime have time-scheduled recording nowdays ? [23:06] Thanks for responses === Votan is now known as Votan|off [23:06] jasmuz: also, it formats fine and seems to read/write fine, pretty fast too. [23:06] calum: if you copy it to /usr/bin then you don't need to specify the full path [23:06] jasmuz: Otherwise id like to have that coded into it. [23:07] dugger5688: connect it via your card reader, then open a terminal do a tail -f /var/log/messages , read the latest messages concerning your card. [23:07] Brimstones: that would be really cool. [23:07] jasmuz: Check really quick to see if it has it already .. [23:07] ActionParsnip: So I just copy the executable script to that folder without specifying a path? [23:07] jasmuz: lol, should've though of that. [23:07] Could be a google summer of code project or something maybe. [23:08] dugger5688: hehe.. at your service. [23:08] I see that Ubuntu has a manpages site. Is there some package in the repository to download all those pages in one time? [23:08] Brimstones: you should recommend it to GSOC [23:08] Salva1: why would you want to have manpages of programs you don't have installed? [23:09] Yes. [23:09] Salva1: man pages are also in distro in teminal type man [23:09] And installed too. [23:09] calum: no, if you put the script in /usr/bin you will be able to call it without having to type ~/Desktop/scriptname when you want it, just like you dont use full path names for the commands you use like apt-get and cp [23:09] jasmuz: Im trying to minimize my computing stuff to making some apps. Maybe you or someone else can add it to GSOC ? [23:09] ActionParsnip: he want to run it with Ubuntu start [23:10] Brimstones: i wish, today is my only day off.. generally i'm doing hospital work. [23:10] How do I add entries with a space in it in .gtk-bookmarks? I've tried backslash space too [23:10] calum copy script to /etc/init.d/ then make an symlink to /etc/rcS.d/S55 [23:10] ActionParsnip: In reply to zaxonspox, yeh it is a terminal startup script. It will ask you for a password it runs at boot [23:11] haavaros, not sure... tried using " " [23:11] calum: so it needs root, and needs to be ran before the gui loads? [23:12] ActionParsnip: It shuts down Apache server and MySql when you reach the gnome desktop. It shows up in a normal terminal [23:12] !startup | calum [23:12] calum eee, not that way [23:12] jasmuz: Ok, maybe someone else heard us out of these 1416 peoples ;) [23:13] calum just remove startup script from /etc/rc2.d/ with apache and mysql [23:13] jasmuz: Nice talking to you. [23:13] Brimstones: hahaha, i hope so. Anywho, i will start working on the tv card a little bit later, its one of my weekend projects.. Take care. [23:14] jasmuz: Same same, cya === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [23:14] jasmuz: bit hesitant to install amarok because of all the kde deps ... trying with itunes now [23:15] calum just remove startup script from /etc/rc2.d/ with apache and mysql [23:15] rapha: rhythmbox is nice. Always picked up the itunes or etc players hds as well. [23:15] sorry i keep lagging out [23:15] calum just remove startup script from /etc/rc2.d/ with apache and mysql [23:15] rapha: i rather install amarok, then uninstall it than place something propietary like iTunes [23:16] zaxonspox: Is that what starts Apache and Mysql at startup? [23:16] rapha: Also the ipods. It was a question you had right ? [23:17] ok, i'm currently on a live cd, and need to access the files in my wubi installation, I already tried https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How can I access my Wubi install and repair my install if it won't boot? [23:17] hello, please anybody could paste me the default ubuntu kernel config file? thanks [23:17] Brimstones: yeah, well, it seems like the iPod is a bit borked [23:17] rapha: theres gtkpod for ipods [23:17] junmin: what is the file name you need? [23:17] jasmuz: doesnt hurt me to put itunes into a virtualbox :P [23:17] ActionParsnip: that cant fix it as well [23:17] calum yes, mine are S91apache2 and S19mysql. Remove them from /etc/rc2.d or change ther names replacing S with K as i good remember [23:17] hello, i need help to establish my ssh connection. Anyone has a little bit of time ? [23:17] but I get this error: /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk: No such file or directory [23:17] rapha: some versions of itunes run with some versions of wine [23:18] rapha: Are the Ubuntians taking a timeout or why cant you have it fixed ? [23:18] rapha: its easier to use a more open minded product than the constrictive beuracracy of apple [23:18] ActionParsnip: zcat /proc/config.gz > ubuntuconfig | wgetpaste please [23:18] rapha: not really, but if you don't need to use that kind of options having free ones. [23:18] Brimstones: people tried to help, but nothing worked [23:18] anyone here use vmware-player? [23:18] ActionParsnip: yeah but i only want itunes to fix the ipod and then to use rythmbox [23:19] rapha: The device hd isnt getting mounted and shown on the desktop ? [23:19] ActionParsnip: or this one, /boot/config-`uname -r` :P [23:19] junmin: i dont have /proc/config.gz [23:19] ActionParsnip: also i would have never bought an iPod for myself (let alone any kind of music player) but my brother gave it to me and i thought i'd just check it out, see if i can get it working, and then maybe give it to my girlfriend (but she uses ubuntu only, too) [23:19] blacksunseven: I'm using vmware player on Ubuntu 9.04 [23:19] i have 4 gigs of ram installed, and ubuntu 64 bit seems to only see 2.9 of it [23:19] anyone know what might cause this [23:20] Brimstones: oh yes it is, and i can listen to the music, too. but i can't do anything that requires a write operation on the device. [23:20] Crayboff: Do you have your windows partition mounted to /win? [23:20] calum: do you find it to be an enormous processor hog? i've got it tied to only 1 core of my quad core cpu but my entire computer is nearly unusable because of it [23:20] Jordan_U: ya i did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /win [23:20] Scott0: What is the output of "uname -a"? [23:21] junmin: just a sec [23:21] Linux Green 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:21] Brimstones: also, the ipod claims not to have any music on it [23:21] Scott0: what kind of hardware? [23:21] rapha: Aha. Maybe its been disabled in wait for a rewrite of the code that manipulates the datas due to it perhpas beeing insecure somehow ? [23:21] blacksunseven: It slows it down a bit, but that is only when I am using Windows Aero in the virtual machine. And I'm using an AMD dual core @ 2.0GHz [23:21] Scott0: what is the output of: uname -a [23:21] Crayboff: Is there an "ubuntu" directory there? [23:21] rapha: Ah, well that kinda blows :P [23:21] no [23:21] calum: wow, i've got a AMD quad core using windows xp and my computer chugs [23:21] anyone? [23:22] Crayboff: Do you see your other windows directories there? [23:22] Scott0: what kind of hardware? [23:22] Jordan_U: you mean in /win ? if so, there isn't [23:22] Brimstones: dunno ... will see what itunes says [23:22] junmin: http://pastebin.com/sFejC67j [23:22] blacksunseven: How much RAM did you give the VM? [23:22] rapha: Ive had some parties where people wanted to plug in those. At first i thought, oh well... lets give it a try, not expecting it to work... but those always did, flawlessly. [23:22] calum: 1GB (out of 4GB) [23:22] acicula: what hardware would matter? [23:23] Scott0: 2nd time, what is the output of uname -a [23:23] Crayboff: Then you're mounted the wrong partition, sda1 is likely a recovery partition. [23:23] blacksunseven: were you able to figure out a solution for your ftp server? [23:23] ActionParsnip: He already posted it. [23:23] Jordan_U: do you know what i have to do to get the right partition? [23:23] Why VMplayer? Why not use VirtualBox-ose? [23:23] Scott0: my bad, weird [23:23] Jordan_U: got it [23:23] hello all, I have some problems to pair with a device via bluetooth without the window manager installed (its an headless server and have to pair with a phone), any hints? [23:23] rapha: I even think Apple manages CUPS now as well. Dont they ? [23:24] greezmunkey: i think so. i dont know how secure it is but i've set the permissions of the original mount points such that the sftp group doesnt have write access [23:24] Scott0: are you fully updated? [23:24] blacksunseven: yup, use group privs...that is about all that was left. [23:24] blacksunseven: That should run OK. I only have 3 GB of RAM. You might want to turn down any desktop effects on the host machine though. I disabled compiz and it seems OK but its a bit slow, but it is usable [23:24] ActionParsnip: thank you! [23:24] junmin: no worries dude [23:25] calum: yeah, sad part is exact same setup in 8.04 was flawless [23:25] Crayboff: "sudo umount /win" then "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /win", then check to see if /win contains your windows files. If not then repeat but mount /dev/sda3,4 etc. [23:25] Scott0: igp's mostly, just listing the chipset/proc/gpu or type/brand of the computer would help [23:25] rapha: that said, whenever i see a supposedly "Apple fan" say that Linux or OpenSource sucks ill have to admit i think they are lying or dont know anything about nothings ;) === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar [23:26] Brimstones: if i was king of the world, they weren't allowed to execute such a draconian regime on whatever they please. whether it be apple or microsoft or whoever, capitalism often seems to come in its worst forms in the it industry. [23:26] hi guys, i'm using screen on my ubuntu server as user a. i login to the box as user b. when i 'su a' as user b, and then type 'screen -r' i get "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/2' - please check."

[23:27] what is the best setup for Wine to mimic in order to play WoW ? [23:27] Brimstones: well, i'm running lucid with avant window navigator and had an apple fanboy ask me last week how the heck i had gotten MacOS X installed on my ThinkPad and what version of it anyway [23:27] shubbar: or: sudo blkid you can then read your fstab file to see what is being mounted where [23:27] rapha: haha! [23:28] Brimstones: so i guess the good thing about having the window buttons on the LEFT is that apple fanboy take us seriously now :-) [23:28] Haha, wasn't there a sticky on Ubuntu forums about wine and WOW. [23:28] rapha: tell him to look into hackintoshes ;) [23:28] dugger5688: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [23:28] ActionParsnip: oh noes, let osx remain on the mac ... i dont need people asking me to support their hackintoshes, too!

[23:30] rapha: Thatd fix the numlock madness once and for all! / One aaand for allll! :) [23:30] i did [23:30] ActionParsnip: I am in the rc2.d folder and I see a file called mysql which is a shell script but it is already numbered, it is called "S19mysql". Do I need to change that? [23:30] I need help with a very old computer\ [23:30] calum: i'm not familiar with rc levels [23:30] greezmunkey: i forget what they are off the top of my head. I know they are in ~/Documents/ though [23:30] now the problem is i can ping from the virtual machine to any website [23:30] Brimstones: also installed lucid on a PC on sunday that is used by completely illiterate people ... it works nicely for them, in principle, but after 2 hours they had already managed to delete all (!!) panels - which i wouldnt know how to do even if i wanted to. that's still a big problem with ubuntu for "normal" people - panels and their contents and them always managing to mess that up. we really need a solution for that... [23:30] but i can't ssh to the vbox [23:31] it doesn't say which to use on wine to mimic it just say's pick one, i just wondered if one is better than the other for wow [23:31] Brimstones: sorry, not illiterate, COMPUTER illiterate, ofc [23:31] I need to install Ubuntu, without the use of a CDROM or USB Drive. All I have is a floppy [23:31] Sp3clalK1: That will only work for that boot. If you want to remove it for good, modify the /etc/default/grub.cfg [23:31] peacengell: you need to change the vbox setting so that it uses a bridged connection, it will appear as a physical PC on your LAN DHCP list [23:31] ok [23:31] cane: better buy a new one [23:31] rapha: ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu? because it should be completely impossible to remove the last remaining panel in gnome, other than to kill gnome-panel (and even then, it'll respawn) [23:31] peacengell: or you can add a rule to forward the port, using bridged lan is waaaay easier [23:31] TomG: I can't edit that, my system is getting stuck on an error and wont boot past that [23:32] greezmunkey: Jordan_U: the only folders I see in /win/ubuntu are /docs /install /winboot then there's: curl_log.txt metadl_log.txt Ubuntu.ico Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe [23:32] can i use nat is it dificult to configure actionParsnip [23:32] xangua, trying to continue to use the hardware since it still works [23:32] can === CaptainTrek is now known as Guest49324 [23:32] peacengell: Are you trying to SSH into a virtual machine? === moe is now known as Guest27587 [23:32] Sp3clalK1: Then yes, 'e' will allow you to edit how it boots for that time [23:32] cane try tinylinux [23:32] Crayboff: you are trying to retrieve files from a wubi install, from windows, is that right? [23:32] TomG: Do you have to save the grub file before you boot, or does it boot with the edit you made using ctrl-x ? [23:32] maco: ubuntu. and i tell you they _did_ manage to remove it. i saw it. there was no panel. [23:32] peacengell: the system is on a 10.0.1.x network, not your LAN's. If you switch to bridged it will get an IP from your router etc and be fine [23:33] cane: not with ubuntu if it's very very old [23:33] Crayboff: I should say wubi filesystem... [23:33] rapha: perhaps the panel crashed? [23:33] i thing it's call tomcat linux correct me if i'm wrong [23:33] All it's used for it to display one webpage [23:33] rapha: Yeah, some people are utterly uncool when it comes to living in a harmonious-pc-way at all :) Ive seen one old lady drag C: into the trashcan! ... My girlfriend spill cocacola on my laptop... :) [23:33] ok [23:33] yeah [23:33] Hey guys.. what is the best way to keep users from changing their appearance? [23:33] rapha: cuz the right click option to remove a panel goes away if its the only one [23:33] i have 4 1 gig sticks in, how can it show only gigs? [23:33] greezmunkey: I need to get files from a wubi filesystem. the existing programs do not work because I can't find C:/\ [23:33] Sp3clalK1: It doesn't save. You are modifying it for only that one particular boot [23:33] i did check that [23:33] cane: you can use unetbbotin but i think a floppy may be a little too small [23:33] desktop background [23:33] err [23:33] 3 gigs [23:33] greezmunkey: ubuntu\disks [23:33] so it's dificult or can be done === Trek is now known as CaptainTrek [23:33] anyone know if rythmbox will still be able to use the ipod if i let itunes install version 1.1.3 of the firmware on it?

I'm locked out of my computer then =s [23:34] ActionParsinip [23:34] Does anyone know if Mozilla has a IRC channel? [23:34] greezmunkey: so my last chance is to use the live cd, so I'm trying to access wubi files from a live cd now [23:34] rapha: Ask yourself how they nkew enough to "Unlock" the panel and remove it [23:34] Sp3clalK1: Like I said, you will need to modify the etc/default/grub.cfg and erase those, then save and run 'sudo update-grub' [23:34] Crayboff: yikes, you could probably boot from a live cd, then play with it to access your files. [23:34] rapha: not sure, apple's attitude towards open source lately has been less than enlightened. [23:34] heh [23:34] Dragzard: if you join #mozilla you will be shown the server and channel [23:34] ActionParsnip: i will consider those tests [23:34] maco: I know!!! and it hadn't crashed, it was still gone after a reboot. it's magic, somehow... [23:34] TomG: Yeah, but my system doesn't fully boot. [23:34] TomG: so I can't edit that [23:34] Dragzard: Try irc.mozilla.org. I have heard that they do... [23:34] anyone have any ideas [23:34] Sp3clalK1: When did this happen and are there any errors? [23:35] rapha: "This is your final panel, want to remove it...", "Are you really really sure you idiot... :P" etc [23:35] Thanks you two. [23:35] is it easy to use nat or i should go to briged [23:35] Crayboff: there are folks here that are *way* better at that than I, I'll bow out - good luck.

Anyone have any idea what this is caused by?
