[00:00] hello [00:00] is there a ubuntu server irc? [00:00] cane: #ubuntu-server [00:00] cane: This channel is appropriate, and there's also #ubuntu-server [00:00] dugger5688: okay I will see [00:00] ActionParsnip, I tried that already-LOL [00:00] greezmunkey, still same thing [00:00] dugger5688: it does seem like some weird permission issue [00:01] ActionParsnip, it works now. [00:01] Hi, I need help setting up a external monitor in Ubuntu 9.10 .. is there anyone that can help me out? [00:01] Also, Is the 10.04 release stable enough that I can install it now and not have to do the upgrade later? [00:01] I have a Skystar 2 TV PCI card and i am in Syria i want to try to scan for channels and couldn't find any file of my are in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t [00:01] no nmoureyii. refer to this: [00:01] !10.04 | nmoureyii [00:01] nmoureyii: 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 [00:01] anyone can help me ?! [00:01] r00ster, dugger5688: Are you going on SchroomFumes or just botting ? :) [00:02] Armageddon: is you wireless adapter removable? pcmcia, or usb?? [00:02] greezmunkey, no built in ! [00:02] how can i install windows leaving my ubuntu installation untouched, all the pages i see for dual booting involve installing windows first [00:02] Armageddon: can you manually turn it on and off [00:02] greezmunkey, yes but I don't think Ubuntu sees that [00:02] ? [00:02] mrb: run: lspci one line will identify the device, the make and model is fairly moot, you need to know the chip used. You can then find guides [00:03] alright [00:03] Brimstones: hehe, so what else can I do? [00:03] greezmunkey, it means even if I turn it on and off from its button it Ubuntu will keep it on [00:03] r00ster, dugger5688: Do you have any ideea why the ops dont kick you for talking nonsence ? [00:03] r00ster, dugger5688: I just farted :P [00:03] Hi [00:03] Brimstones: not appropriate here [00:03] Armageddon: in a terminal: tail -f /var/log/syslog, then cycle your wireless, paste what you get. [00:03] Bye. [00:04] Armageddon: ah, ok - what does NM do? [00:04] r00ster, dugger5688, CaptainTrek: I just farted :P [00:04] r00ster, what was the output? [00:04] greezmunkey, usually its on all the time [00:04] Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02) |||| thats the chip But i can't find the frequencies file for my country ! [00:04] Brimstones: i'm serious. Inappropriate in here. [00:04] Anyone know if there is a way to get Windows 7 - like functionality with window manipulation?(full screen if you move the window to the top and half screen when you move it to the side)? [00:04] Armageddon: does it sit there and spin, or just give up? [00:04] Brimstones: so you can't help me... [00:05] greezmunkey, it still says network not managed, and now it sits there [00:05] 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 :/ [00:05] CaptainTrek: Im very young. Arent we allowed to be here in this channel ? [00:05] CaptainTrek: Im 9 years old, just learning C. [00:05] slckb0y: ou wont get 3D accel in vbox [00:05] Armageddon: did you restart networking as I posted before? [00:05] Brimstones: yes, but this isnt a chatroom like instant messenger. this is a support channel for Ubuntu [00:05] dugger5688: I am not too sure that will help [00:05] yes [00:05] i do under compiz and games :/ [00:05] CaptainTrek: Chatroom ? [00:05] slckb0y: you can get a good res using the vbox driver but thats it [00:05] funny, funny ... so mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb2 worked on the iPod, and it's now officially empty, but you still can't write to it. [00:06] i'll let the ops take over, i'm off to get coffee [00:06] ActionParsnip, whats the link to see how OPs are best presented.. how they're to act? [00:06] CaptainTrek: Is there room for a chats ? [00:06] gdewald: That is in kde4. [00:06] Armageddon: Try restarting NM then. [00:06] SeaPhor: !ops will call them [00:06] greezmunkey, how ? [00:06] is there a way to move File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help from under XXXXXX-Mozilla Firefox to beside it? [00:06] SeaPhor: is that what you mean? [00:06] so no way to do it in gnome? [00:07] r00ster, that command doesn't 'do' anything, it just lists permissions. [00:07] i know [00:07] gdewald: there was a compiz extension that did it with key bindings [00:07] but but I don't think messing with the permissions will help [00:07] but I will try again I guess [00:07] and any tiling wm will do it [00:08] gdewald: I only know of it in KDE [00:08] it starts with a ew [00:08] Hey there. I have ubuntu on my eee pc. Everything is working perfect except for the wifi card. When I start the pc I need to rmmod ath9k / modprobe ath9k in order to have network. Anything I can do to automate this? [00:08] greezmunkey, how do I restart nm-applet ? [00:08] it starts with a rw* [00:08] awww... [00:08] so there is a read and write access [00:08] Armageddon: that depends a lot on your install, just restart for now. [00:08] greezmunkey, ok then [00:08] Mr Trekk: I hope i havnt been bad to your? channel... [00:08] ActionParsnip, not needed, what i'm asking is the "OPs and being OP'd, there is a article saying how OPs should present themselves,,, [00:09] Kaapa: make a startup script and put it in /etc/rc.local to do what you do manually and put a small pause in between [00:09] r00ster: did you try changing your session to failsafe gnome? [00:09] Armageddon: I hate to say that, but the ../../networking restart should have done it for you... [00:09] ActionParsnip: trying that [00:09] what is the name of the old "add/remove software" package? [00:09] edomeda: synptic [00:09] is there a way to completely change over to kubuntu from ubuntu without reinstalling everything?(I don't mean integrating KDE into ubuntu, bc I don't want gnome's applications in KDE) === nightfrog is now known as Perlfection [00:10] !purekde | gdewald [00:10] gdewald: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [00:10] you can just install kde and gnome side by side [00:10] thanks [00:11] ActionParsnip, not that one, the one from 8.04 that said "add remove software..." [00:11] ActionParsnip: didn't work - apparently it's something that goes wrong after user logs in [00:11] Flannel, do you know of the link to the Freenode article on how OPs are to present themselves? [00:12] r00ster: If you had done what i said yould be done by now, Switch to terminal login from GDM (GNoME Display Manager) (CTRL+ALT+F1) edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... change driver "nvidia" to driver "nv" ... Itll suck speedwise but itll not make X crash. [00:13] PS: I make better oses then Ubuntu or microsoft combined (Sorry, its just the truth) [00:13] edomeda: i dont know any other, ive always used apt-get [00:13] Brimstones: its also offtopic here [00:13] Sorry [00:14] ActionParsnip, I do for individual packages, but it was very handy for doing several packages at once. I guess synaptic one will work, but I liked the old one. :-/ [00:15] edomeda: theres software centre too, you can install multiple packages with apt-get: sudo apt-get install package1 package2 package3 [00:16] ActionParsnip, sure, if you know the package names for everything. :) Don't care to apt-cache search xyz for things first. the new (9.10+) software center only seems to do one at a time unless I'm missing something [00:17] one more thing - hibernate doesn't work on my pc; I'm not familiar with grub. Where do I need to tell where my swap partition is? [00:17] Does anyone have a good grasp on TV Tuner Cards? [00:17] edomeda: no idea, i dont use it :) [00:17] greezmunkey [00:17] So, after the Island Outburst of Sulphuric Acid (Car battery Acid fumes, ECMO lung-syndromes etc) Will the Big bang volcano DESTROY our summer in Europe (PS: Evil commies) [00:18] Brimstones, hey.. i have to talk to you about the tuner card [00:18] jasmuz. You have all the knowhow you need to make it work [00:18] Brimstones: thats also offtopic here [00:19] jasmuz. Sure [00:19] Brimstones, something strange happened.. I ran with card=1, and it made tvtime scan.. it found channels, now it won't do jack and i placed card=1 as the default one. [00:19] ActionParsnip: But it can be good if thousands of people doesnt die, maybe ? [00:20] Brimstones: its not ubuntu related so is offtopic here [00:20] Armageddon: 'sup, any luck? [00:21] !webcam > duffydack [00:21] duffydack, please see my private message [00:23] ActionParsnip: But you appreciate the fact that ive potentially just helped about atleast 2000 people by word of mouth and interwebs perhaps ? [00:23] Brimstones: maybe so yes, i have done similar (check top contributors on launchpad ;)) [00:24] Brimstones: what's your point? [00:24] howdy peeps [00:24] !hi | cornkid [00:24] cornkid: 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! [00:25] ActionParsnip: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6276291.stm [00:26] Brimstones: i'm from the UK dude [00:26] http://news.bbc.co.uk [00:26] Brimstones, does the volcano run ubuntu ? [00:26] Yeah! :) [00:26] FFFFFFUUUUUUUU [00:26] for some reason hibernate and standby stopped working [00:27] it won't come out of standby that is [00:27] Brimstones: the ash clous is not an ubuntu support question so is offtopic here [00:27] either that or it won't go into [00:27] codygman, did you mess around with the bios [00:27] Barnabas: no [00:27] All my ubuntu programs are still here... [00:27] >.< [00:27] the only thing that changed was my gnome theme [00:27] and some updates [00:27] umount: /media/KINGSTON is not in the fstab (and you are not root) [00:27] wtf? [00:27] I was 18 miles away from Mt.St.Helens when it went off, just a burp...computers kept running. [00:27] codygman, in synaptic you have the possibility to roll back updates [00:27] h3ll0: try using sudo at the start of the command [00:28] Barnabas: checking now [00:28] ActionParsnip: I see. Atleast mr h3ll0 has a great usb-stick [00:28] and it's not detecting the pen drive like before [00:28] try that if that fixes the problem you know [00:28] well you know where to start to look [00:28] Brimstones, dont blame my usb blame ubuntu [00:28] Brimstones: if it stores stuff i guess its as good as any [00:28] it's a fucking bug-- [00:28] language please. [00:28] !language |h3l [00:28] h3l: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:29] :) [00:29] I blame everyone and no0ne! :) [00:29] Barnabas: i'm not seeing an option to roll back [00:29] h3ll0, why is it a bug? mounting file systems is generally a job for root or operator group [00:29] oh, found a way to remove everything gnome relatyed [00:29] Hello , everyone I am new to ubuntu [00:29] System is running perfectly [00:29] Barnabas, it was working before so.. [00:30] h3ll0: is the device still attached to the system? [00:30] yes [00:30] The only problem I'm facing is that now the computer does not have any wireless access [00:30] h3ll0: you could try using: sudo eject on the device in /dev [00:30] i can unmounted via gparted [00:31] Same old, same old... pack a good Co2-punch :) [00:31] guest: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network use http://pastebin.com to give the output [00:32] codygman, try to look under history in the file tab in synaptic [00:32] you actually cannot roll them back directly from synaptic - you are right [00:32] it's not detecting usb anymore [00:32] is openoffice part of both ubuntu and kubuntu? [00:32] pen drive [00:32] very odd [00:32] but you will get a list of things having happened since a given date [00:33] What is the problem if Gnome can't open the .profile when when logging in? [00:33] h3ll0: then rmmod the usb_storage module and modprobe it [00:33] so you will know what packages have been updated [00:33] gdewald: i believe so [00:33] r00ster: permissions possibly [00:33] ur talking chinese :P [00:33] h3ll0, when you "unplug" your kingston device, do you umount it first? [00:34] very important [00:34] on all file systems [00:34] h3ll0: the usb flash access etc access is controlled via the usb_storage module, if you remove it then reload it then its functionality should be restored [00:34] it doesnt show up like before [00:34] Loosing my mind simply trying to create an additional software raid md volume using two new drives. Day 2 many hours no luck. Details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/417705/ Please someone ease my pain! [00:34] ActionParsnip: the permissions are -rw-r--r-- [00:34] and I mean [00:34] but disk utility detects it [00:34] I didn't change anything [00:35] h3ll0, ergo the system cannot detect the file system on the device [00:35] how can permissions just change like that? [00:35] it's ntfs like bfore [00:35] r00ster: same reason that the permissions for my home folder on netbookremix were root-edit only [00:35] h3ll0, unless it is corrupted [00:35] somehow [00:35] *-network [00:35] description: Network controller [00:35] product: BCM4312 802.11b/g [00:35] vendor: Broadcom Corporation [00:35] physical id: 0 [00:35] guest: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:35] bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 [00:35] version: 01 [00:35] r00ster: no idea why they randomly change :P [00:35] h3ll0: you said usb wasnt working [00:36] !broadcom | guest [00:36] guest: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:36] guest: use pastebin for multiline posts [00:36] Does flooding like that kick you out of here? [00:36] guest: I also said to use http://pastebin.com so you wouldn't flood like that [00:37] it's not detecting pen drive correctly. [00:37] greezmunkey: Perhaps youve gone blind ? [00:37] h3ll0, could you try to remove and insert the usb drive and check dmesg [00:37] greezmunkey: Its always a "Dont do that..." [00:37] use pastebin [00:37] http://pastebin.com/BgmF64Ug [00:37] CaptainTrek: They didn't [00:37] hmm... [00:37] just to see the system reaction [00:37] i ejected it [00:37] and removed [00:38] ok do you know dmesg [00:38] no [00:38] i typed it in terminal [00:38] dmesg is a utility to write out system information about different things one is information about devices removed and added [00:38] so I'm guessing there is no real way to have both KDE and gnome without seeing KDE programs in gnome and vice-versa? [00:38] TimothyA: Dick === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [00:38] what? [00:38] Brimstones: I'm not going to get into that with you, I was just curious if flooding would automatically get you disconnected, that's all. PS I know flooding is unacceptable. :) [00:39] you can probably find the same info i a GUI tool but I am used to the console :-) [00:39] what did I ever do to you? :| [00:39] gdewald: if you MUST, use alacarte to remove from your menu the items you don't want there. [00:39] absoluetly nothing [00:39] if you reinsert it it dmesg should write out some info about the device inserted [00:39] Is there an easy way to format a flash drive? [00:39] greezmunkey: I like floodings, but i bet its not considered cool :P [00:39] ;__; [00:39] as in, without crossing the arctic ocean. naked. [00:39] * TimothyA beats Brimstones with a stick [00:39] joshdreamland: run: gksudo gparted [00:39] hit the format button on te flash drive? [00:40] ActionParsnip: Tried it, got this: [00:40] joshdreamland: "gparted" ? [00:40] /dev/sdg: unrecognised disk label [00:40] joshdreamland: duh, right click over the usb drive, and there is a format option [00:40] thats weird....... [00:40] jasmuz: Not on this distro.... [00:40] or perhaps version. Does Karmic implement one? [00:40] can't tell you then how..... [00:41] joshdreamland: what is the output of: lsb_release -c [00:41] joshdreamland: unrecognized disk label, that is an odd error.. go with Gparted [00:41] Codename: jaunty [00:41] jasmuz: He's the one that generated the error. [00:41] joshdreamland: yes, karmic does have the built-in format option [00:42] this is making me angry [00:42] Well, something to look forward to then if I can install it on this flash drive I can't format :D [00:42] joshdreamland: then you can label the partition if you like, humour it [00:42] !label | joshdreamland [00:42] joshdreamland: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [00:42] h3ll0, know the feeling, but unless you list the output of dmesg when inserting the device noone will be able to tell if the system found it [00:42] haha, okay, I'll try it... [00:43] h3ll0: then you need some help if a usb device gets you angry [00:43] ActionParsnip, stfu pls [00:43] hello [00:43] i want to install windows [00:43] h3ll0: calm down, it's just a computer - you'll get it figured, ppl are trying to help you as well! It could be a lot worse :) [00:43] without having to do a clean install of ubuntu [00:43] that is leaving my current ubuntu installation untouched [00:44] for dual booting [00:44] how can i go about this? [00:44] zebastian, will you need a physical system or can you do with a virtual pc [00:44] that is emulation of hw and a windows on top [00:44] Barnabas: what do you mean a physical system? [00:45] i am on a laptop that already uses ubuntu hardy [00:45] can i connect with rdesktop from ubuntu to ubuntu? [00:45] zebastian: You would have to resize your partitions in order to install Windows, and afterwards run a live disc to reinstall GRUB (physical way) [00:45] a system running of a physical partition [00:45] i want to install windows without deleting any hardy [00:45] zebastian, dual boot [00:45] zebastian: boot to livecd and resize your partitions to make some unpartitioned space to install windows to [00:45] ok, is there a tutorial you can point me towards [00:45] zebastian, what will you need the windows system for :-) [00:45] to do this, so i will need a grub boot cd [00:46] zebastian, gaming? [00:46] what do i need to configure on the server to allow rdesktop? [00:46] owen1: rdesktop os for windows machines [00:46] zebastian: you should backup your data incase of catastrophe and you will need to reinstall grub to the mbr as the xp install wil overwrite grub [00:46] certain language learning apps [00:46] owen1: Ubuntu--->Windows [00:46] jasmuz: got it. what if my server is ubuntu? [00:46] zebastian, if you only need for "regular" windows apps there is no reason to reinstall it physically [00:47] im thinking of formatting install xp (first) and then install ubuntu as primary but these bugs are annyoing and delaying me [00:47] so basically, i back up, burn a cd of grub, make a new empty space partition, and then stick the windows install cd, i install it then i stick the grub cd? [00:47] I feel ashamed of my brain because I feel that people moving into the US, Europe are stealing what would have been my job or jobs. I know that the immigrants are troubled and perhaps war-ridden, but please tell me why i should accept that my life is total crap because they decided to immigrate to my country ? [00:47] zebastian, I would look into Sun VirtualBox [00:47] you will be able to run windows under linux and execute the software you need [00:47] is there a tutorial where you can point me to do this [00:48] owen1: if you want to connect remotely to your server you can do it via ssh, or graphical system, via X [00:48] hey again. where can I put a script that will be executed when user logs in? [00:48] i have never done this before, so i back up files, create new partition, stick windows in that partition, use a grub cd and then what? [00:48] zebastian, http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-virtualbox-3.0-on-an-ubuntu-9.04-desktop [00:48] jasmuz: i use ssh, but sometimes i want to control the UI. what app will let me do ubuntu->ubuntu with UI? [00:49] Brimstones: will you please keep ontopic, the ops can tell you more if you'd like [00:49] Barnabas: i dont want that, ive already used wine to no avail [00:49] and i am on a laptop [00:49] jasmuz: maybe ssh -XC ? [00:49] Barnabas: not if the windows install is for gaming [00:49] zebastion: you're going to probably make a "file" that is the hard drive for your guest OS. [00:49] ActionParsnip: Yes, no [00:49] ActionParsnip, agree [00:49] but it wasnt [00:49] a1mutt [00:49] zebastian, wine != sun virtual box [00:50] Brimstones: ash clouds and immigration are offtopic here, i have asked you nicely. i will call the ops next time [00:50] wine is an emulation of windows api under linux [00:50] owen1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347163 [00:50] missed a ctr key there :S [00:50] sun virtualbox is a hw emulation software pkg [00:50] linux sucks for gaming that's for sure [00:50] but it is nice to keep on a separate volume so you don't bottleneck with your HDD [00:50] h3ll0, because games are written for directx [00:50] ActionParsnip: Call Ananke, that one hell of a useless op :P /Point taken though, im trying to be nice you know [00:50] y [00:50] yes [00:50] h3ll0: plays half-life2, fretsonfire and penumbra overture pretty sweet here [00:51] h3ll0: world of warcraft also plays excellently as well as doom2 performing better than the windows version [00:51] go play cs 1.6 [00:51] !games | h3ll0 [00:51] h3ll0: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:51] jasmuz: thanks [00:51] ActionParsnip, all opengl games will cross compile (almost) [00:52] and no steam for linux [00:52] h3ll0: another great game as well as urbanterror which runs great [00:52] owen1: you're welcomed. [00:52] it's all about money [00:52] Wine Is Not an Emulator. >=[ [00:52] I thought steam ran on Linux? [00:52] h3ll0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike [00:52] dugger5688: Steam does run on wine [00:52] ARGHG recursive acronym! [00:52] hello, is it possible to upgrade from 8.10 to latest, and if so how [00:53] zebastian, did you get the answer you needed? [00:53] !upgrade | cambazz [00:53] cambazz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:53] cambazz: you must upgrade to the next release in turn, you cannot leapfrog [00:53] well windows is fine for bootstrapping my games [00:53] Barnabas: Not really [00:53] nothing much else [00:53] zebastian, do you know vmware for windows? [00:53] ActionParsnip: so from 8.10 to 9.10 how many leaps i need [00:54] i need step by step post hardy windows dual bt install [00:54] Can anyone tell me how to get the login/logout plugin working on compiz? [00:54] cambazz: 8.10 -> 9.04 then 9.04 -> 9.10 [00:54] zebastian, I doubt a dual boot will be necessary if you only want to run "regular" windows [00:54] that is no gaming [00:54] joshyfluff: i'd ask in #compiz [00:54] joshyfluff: good question.. lol [00:54] Aah, ok [00:54] auch [00:54] Barnabas: not regular windows programs [00:55] joshyfluff: if you find out, tell me how. [00:55] more like encyclopedias and language programs written for windows [00:55] zebastian, gaming then? [00:55] Also, the GNOME panels are loading a lot slower than anything else, for example...

Not many do, youre very special. Keep up the good work! [00:57] zebastian, ok, thats on the low side I agree [00:58] Brimstones: i try, thanks man :D [00:58] Np [00:58] Barnabas: so i need help to install windows leaving the current ubuntu install intact [00:58] zebastian, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [00:58] try to look under "Installing Windows After Ubuntu" === RootChaos is now known as RootChaos[h] === guiraud is now known as pouet [00:59] hey guys, how do you clear apt-get of unmet package depenencies that it falsely thinks it has? [00:59] i have ubuntu server installed, and i have installed no packages [01:00] problem fixed .. [01:00] anyone running Linux on a Mac who can give me their output of "sensors"? [01:00] tj__: Do you have an example of a package it thinks it has that it doesn't? [01:00] tj__: Does it really think it has something it doesn't, or are you running 64 bit needing 32 bit libraries? [01:00] zebastian, I'm afraid it will be a bit technical, since you a poking around with disk partitions, boot sectors and file systems [01:00] it attempts to install all of the packages needed for X [01:01] unless you have a spare disk? [01:01] tj__: clear ? [01:01] tj__: sudo apt-get -f install may help [01:01] Barnabas: spare disk? [01:01] -f attempts to install X and all 700MB that go with it [01:02] zebastian, a second hard drive in your pc, that can be used for linux [01:03] tj__: then you have installed an X based app and the system wants to satisfy the dep [01:03] thats the thing, im attempting to purge that apo [01:03] where can I see what the printer test page is supposed to look like? [01:03] hello, if I install the 10.04 RC that is released on thursday, can I just update to "retail" when it's released? I know that a format is recommended when you install a new version since upgrading isn't always working, but is there no such problems when going from rc to retail? [01:03] Barnabas: nope but i have a backup external drive [01:03] !lucid | karpus [01:03] karpus: 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 [01:03] and I am unable to, since apt-get throws errors about unmet dependencies [01:03] zebastian, if it is your backup dont mess around with it [01:04] karpus: Correct, but #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask until it's released [01:04] ok [01:04] so apparently i have to burn a cd of this thing called grub [01:04] Flannel: oh sorry, but I guess my question's answered, thanks [01:04] zebastian, no grub is the boot loader [01:04] pure_hate: Want me to crush your hate man ? ;) [01:04] i there, im having this wierd problem viewing 1 particular pdf in document viewer. Its 350mb, when i open it in doc viewer, all the letters and stuff just show up as dots ( its zoomed to 100%). If i open it in xpdf it renders fine, ut if i scroll down it crashes. Im not having any of these issues on xp using foxit reader. any help would be appreciated [01:04] zebastian, what you have to do is to create a second partion on your existing hard drive [01:05] or [01:05] add another hard drive [01:05] Barnabas: ok, how do i do that? [01:05] Brimstones, Is that supposed to be some sort of lame joke? [01:05] Barnabas: how do i create a new partition? [01:05] is there an option to ignore the unmet dependencies of packages in apt-get and continue execution of its command? [01:05] pure_hate: Im serious. [01:05] zebastian, how much available space do you have on the harddrive you have? [01:06] 35-40 gb [01:06] zebastian, and the total size? [01:06] Brimstones, I have no clue who you are so I am not sure why you are even talking to me but to answer your question, no thanks I am fine. [01:06] pure_hate: I always try to help as best i can. [01:07] Barnabas: how do i check that [01:07] zebastian, hmm thats a windows question - just a minue (anyone feel free) [01:07] pure_hate: Ok, but i believe no man is absolutely fine, to that absolute extent :) [01:08] Barnabas: i am on ubuntu hardy, how do i check the hard drive size [01:08] i think its total around 160 gb [01:08] Brimstones, Not to be arogant but I am pretty sure I dont need your help, thanks for asking though [01:09] zebastian, ok I understood you had a windows system on a whole disk (partition) and wanted a second partition on which to run linux (ubuntu) [01:09] am I misunderstood [01:09] pure_hate: Agreed, be well. [01:09] wow that was harsh.... [01:11] ahh, nvm, i screwed up the system, i called dpkg -i * on a directory, fixing this would take forever, reinstalling the OS [01:11] zebastian: You're on windows right now? [01:11] Barnabas: i am on ubuntu hardy [01:11] i want to install windows [01:11] without anything [01:11] happening to hardy [01:11] and my files [01:11] zebastian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:11] and my set up [01:11] zebastian, ok [01:12] the other way around then [01:12] Monotoko: Imagine all your friends dying. Now thats harsh perhaps.. [01:12] I think that makes it a lot easier in here [01:12] Brimstones...ouch.. [01:12] * Monotoko really doesnt have a response to that [01:13] zebastian, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition [01:13] Monotoko: I have many but those things are gutkickingsly evil [01:13] will tell you how to resize a partion [01:13] man fdisk [01:13] done [01:13] Brimstones, aye quite true [01:13] you need to shrink your partition enough to fit a window system [01:13] Brimstones: Do I win if I said I had no friends? [01:13] on a second one [01:13] TomG: Nope, id say... Why ? [01:14] zebastian, I cannot emphasize this enough .. BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM FIRST [01:14] guys im having problems with an icon set anybody able to help when i ask? (anyone listening?) [01:14] Brimstones: And I'd say because I scared them all away trying to convert them to linux [01:14] What is the command I'm looking? To export X11 Forwarding instead of logging out/in in order to add -Y parameter to my ssh? [01:14] shadewind: sorry, in OS X right now or I'd help out. [01:14] Barnabas: eventually i want to be able to access the ubuntu partition from windows [01:14] i remember i coudl do this before [01:15] TomG: So none of the 650 something millions of people already using Linux will do for you ? [01:15] zebastian, hmm it is a lot easier to access you windows drive from ubuntu :-) [01:15] Barnabas: i want to do both [01:15] Hey! Can someone help me trobleshoot "hulu desktop" installation? I edited the config file in ~/.huludesktop to point to flash, but it keeps telling me that it can't find flash plugin [01:15] i know it can be done [01:15] my flash is 64b [01:15] Brimstones: I live in the boonies. What's a computer? [01:15] on Ubuntu 9.10 [01:15] zebastian: i can do it [01:15] zebastian: to access ubuntu from windows [01:16] zebastian, I cannot help you with whats possible under windows in that regard [01:16] TomG: The Whaa ? [01:16] zebastian: download ext2 manager [01:16] zebastian, you most likely need to add some drivers to windows [01:16] Brimstones: The flux capacitor of course. [01:16] harjot: can you link me to a tutorial of some kind of what needs to be gotten [01:16] i got this error when im using KDE aplications on difference distros http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6244/zrzutekranuek.png and error log http://wklej.org/hash/8f027406edf/ [01:16] zebastian: ok let me look [01:16] can you help ? [01:16] harjot: this is free right? [01:16] yup [01:17] TomG: Oh, you mean D Lorean :P [01:17] zebastian: http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://www.ext2fsd.com/%3Fpage_id%3D16&ei=76DLS8CoOI-I0wTPo4i5BA&sa=X&oi=oneline_sitelinks&resnum=one&ct=result&cd=one&ved=0CAgQ0gIoADAA&usg=AFQjCNEwo09rKU1UMmUHEuUH__UHPJIwoQ [01:17] zebastian, if you want to avoid all the partion magic stuff simply add a second hard drive to your pc [01:17] they are cheap nowadays [01:17] and install windows on it [01:17] Please, i have a problem envolving security ..... http://pastebin.com/P3ykXJE6 [01:17] zebastian: all you have to do is download and select drive letter [01:18] buying hardware is not an option [01:18] Brimstones: Yeah, I'm way off topic though. I apologize. I got caught in your trap. You're just too fun not to talk to sometimes. [01:18] harjot: cool [01:18] hi i would like to know if there is a way to reset ubuntu to default (software....) but without a live cd or usb ? [01:18] please guys, I can't see why this is giving me problems - what should the flash plugin directory be? I entered it as /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer [01:19] zebastian: Haev you got a ubuntu live cd? [01:19] TomG: Im not about traps. I wish to have fun on irc and possibly not get angry at someone else :) [01:19] harjot, yes cool indeed [01:19] Hey, I have a question: Is it possible to update a program like Transmission (for obvious reasons) without upgrading to the next version of Ubuntu, in my case from Jaunty to Karmic? Thanks! [01:19] harjot: do i download it onto windows or onto ubuntu? === jasonjang is now known as Guest31947 [01:19] did not know that one, am a 100% unix / linux user [01:19] zebastian: windows [01:19] zebastian: it installs the drivers for you [01:19] TomG: Im very bad at the first part but im getting better [01:19] Thorax: /usr/lib/mozilla probably [01:20] harjot, but he still needs to intially install a windows system [01:20] on a new partition [01:20] Barnabas: cant he use gparted? [01:20] Brimstones: Understandable. Anger usually won't solve anything. [01:20] Barnabas: from ubuntu live cd? [01:20] harjot, yes [01:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition [01:21] Barnabas: i missed the earlier convo, why doesnt he want to do it? [01:21] TomG: Yeah, but its pretty nice to have at times when the world crumbles :=) [01:21] Anyone have a way to tell if the session I'm running from my USB is persistent? [01:21] how much space should be allokated is up to the windows system version [01:21] Please, i have a problem envolving security ..... http://pastebin.com/NFjSM65h [01:21] is it xp, vista or win7 [01:21] Brimstones: Currency shall fall. Barter is approaching. [01:21] I have been having a ext4 not found error in 10.04 lts [01:21] Barnabas: i gave my xp install 10 gb [01:22] lol 10.04 lts [01:22] TomG: I mean more like "Kiss the snake, not so good if its a venomous one" :) [01:22] harjot, yes, but I feel that he is not quite comfortable with partitions, filesystems and boot sectors [01:22] ok [01:22] i am currently backing everything up [01:22] Barnabas: neither was i when i first tried [01:22] Actually, I'm pretty sure it isn't. I've been trying for hours. Nothing I do will make this persistent. [01:22] should take a couple of hours [01:22] Barnabas: I didnt even back up [01:23] harjot, zebastian has a spare backup drive [01:23] Brimstones: How's that saying go... Black on yellow, you're safe fellow, red on black, you're dead Jack [01:23] Barnabas: so he might as well [01:23] backup [01:23] usb [01:23] so lets backup :-) [01:23] just in case [01:23] it says 15 hours [01:23] I even wrote it from this Ubuntu box via "USB Startup Disk Creator" [01:23] Barnabas: yup but im lousy with backups :P [01:23] TomG: still get the same error [01:23] but i point it to the directory that has libflashplayer.so [01:23] Thorax: What's the error? [01:23] Anyone know how to make the boot error "The disk drive for ext4 is not ready yet or not present" in 10.04 [01:24] zebastian: which windows are you planning to install [01:24] dtminsk_, try #ubuntu+1 [01:24] Checked "persistent," specified size to set aside for it... Yet, as far as I can tell, it's not persistent. [01:24] excuse me, whats the german ubuntu off-topic channel? [01:24] harjot, just a backup of /home/ [01:24] Hello, I am having trouble working with ecryptfs. Basically, a friend's hard drive failed, and I was able to recover most (the vast majority) of the data. I now have all of the relevant ecryptfs files from his machine. I am trying to mount his encrypted directory (I have his password) but I am unsure of the settings I need to use. This ecryptfs setup was created by the Ubuntu installer.... [01:24] ...Basically, I need to know what settings the Ubuntu installer uses for ecryptfs. Anyone have any ideas? [01:24] a cp will suffice [01:24] yup [01:24] so, Barnabas, after i backup what do i do? make a ntsf partition? then i stick the install windows cd on boot up and then what? i need a grub cd right? [01:24] TomG: "Hulu Desktop could not locate the Flash plugin. If you already have it installed, please modify ~/.huludesktop with the correct location of libflashplayer.so" [01:24] TomG: Fork the spoon, Yellow belly once in a black moon. [01:24] zebastian, you need to: [01:24] harjot: i am planning to install windows 7 [01:24] TomG: and I do have it installed and working [01:24] ? [01:25] zebastian: what you do then is the normal windos procedere then you need a ubuntu live cd [01:25] 1) backup your data from /home/ [01:25] 2) create a new file system as stated on the link I pasted [01:25] 3) install windows? [01:25] Thorax: find /usr/lib -name libflash* [01:25] by shrinking the existing linux one [01:25] 3) install windows right ... [01:25] 4) use the livecd to configure grub? [01:26] that will nuke completely your grub (boot strap) manager [01:26] 4) reinstate grub as your boot manager [01:26] TomG: [01:26] /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so [01:26] /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/libflashlx.so [01:26] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [01:26] /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so [01:26] Thorax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:26] whats the german ubuntu off topic channel? [01:26] how do i get there [01:26] Just the good Ol boys never meanin no harm.... [01:26] zebastian, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [01:26] windows WILL nuke grub [01:26] zebastian: yeah defintely use that [01:26] glick, try asking the #ubuntu-de ppl [01:26] just the way it works I am afraid [01:27] where are the networking device names stored? [01:27] zebastian: windows is a pain to install and maintain [01:27] Windows is EVIL like that. [01:27] ok [01:27] i agree. [01:27] TomG: sorry, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/417876/p://past1 [01:27] dtminsk_, try #ubuntu+1 [01:27] so once i reinstall grub [01:27] none of my info will be lost [01:27] nope [01:27] and my old settings for ubuntu hardy will be intact [01:27] right? [01:27] also, please don't pm me [01:27] Can I set a session as persistent after booting? [01:27] YeS [01:27] Maybe mister Bill-gates can fix this evil ? [01:27] ALGUIEN ABLA ESPAÑOL [01:27] Thorax: Right, so you need to modify that config file to point to the libflashplayer.so [01:27] hi. my friend just changed the owner of /bin, /boot, /etc, /lib, /media, /mnt, /opt, /root, /sbin, /selinux, /srv, /tmp, /usr and /var from root to his user. are there any problems with this? [01:28] zebastian: bootloader settings dont affect your files [01:28] zebastian: or settings [01:28] Love you Mr Thorax! [01:28] zebastian, in place of the windows boot loader you will see grub [01:28] TomG: I have 3 of them and i tried each one to no avail. One more [01:28] ALGUIEN ABLA ESPAÑOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL [01:28] if you follow the howto, under grub there will be a boot windows option [01:28] SSHh [01:28] !es | fer1010 [01:28] Barnabas: i dont have my ubuntu livecd [01:28] fer1010: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:28] Barnabas: that says stick the livecd in [01:28] OK [01:29] zebastian, then you need to make one :-) [01:29] zebastian: yeah have you got one from the ubuntu site? [01:29] all you need is a blank cd media [01:29] Hello [01:29] flash for ubuntu? [01:29] Barnabas: this wont erase any of my current ubuntu settings though will it? does it have to be the same boot cd? i am on hardy so i have to create a live cd for hardy? [01:30] !flash | ulises [01:30] ulises: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:30] zebastian, you backed up your current drive right? [01:30] zebastian: Nothing in ubuntu or windows will be affected [01:30] then no data will be lost [01:30] Thorax: Is that Flash 10? [01:30] zebastian: unless you format the wrong drive [01:30] TomG: yes [01:30] ok [01:30] Barnabas: i backed up the files yes [01:30] but i mean the ubuntu hardy installation itself [01:30] i want it to remain intact [01:30] TomG: also, tried the directories with the player libraries [01:30] hi. how can i find out the type of my mounted drives? [01:30] zebastian: it will [01:31] jajaja [01:31] TomG: and nothing, still the same error [01:31] harjot, exactly [01:31] i dont want to have to reinstall ubuntu at all [01:31] zebastian: you wont need to [01:31] i need macromedia flash 8 [01:31] could it possibly be under lib64? [01:31] so the livecd i have to get is hardy's? since i'm on hardy [01:31] is it possible to change the device names for networking cards? [01:31] zebastian: doesnt matter which one [01:32] zebastian, but if you are making a new one get the latest [01:32] zebastian: as long as you do the partitioning it doesnt really matter [01:32] harjot, agree [01:32] Thorax: I'm not sure about it. I haven't tried Hulu desktop before. [01:32] Barnabas: what do you mean get the latest? hardy uses a different grub than the new ubuntus [01:32] anybody? how can i find out the type of my mounted drives? [01:32] Thorax: Are normal flash operations working in a web browser? [01:32] zebastian, grub is not the utility that partions your drive [01:32] TomG: definitely [01:33] grub is a boot loader [01:33] zebastian: but when you run the grub setup for THAT partition it will pick your grub up [01:33] I have an external hdd I'm /thinking/ of installing ubuntu too. Can I do this without messing with my current Win7/OSX boot records? Like maybe install ubuntu's bootloader directly to the external? [01:33] DOES ANYBODY BESIDES ME THINK THAT WITH 1000'S OF APPLICATIONS IN THE UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER -DEPARTMENTS REPOSITORIES THAT MAYBE THESE PACKAGES OUGHT TO COME UP SORTED BASED ON POPULARITY OR USEFULNESS INSTEAD OF RANDOM OR ALPHABETICAL LIKE THEY ARE. THE LACK OF SORTING WITH SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF PACKAGES GIVES A NEW LINUX USER A BAD IMPRESSION WHEN IT TAKES FOREVER TO FIND USEFUL PACKAGES AND THE SEARCH FUNCTION WHILE HELPFU [01:33] L FALLS QUITE SHORT. SORRY FOR BREAKING IN BUT I DONT KNOW THE BEST PLACE TO SAY THIS.. [01:33] hoctopus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:33] TomG: i can watch most of the videos without problems [01:33] what is casper? [01:33] !caps | hoctopus [01:33] hoctopus: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:33] that is a small program that loads before any os(es) [01:33] Barnabas: i know but i mean here it says run live cd http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [01:33] zebastian: yeah to partition you must be on a separate drive [01:34] Thorax: Out of curiosity, what does the setting look like in the config file? [01:34] yes that may me for an older version but the info is still valid [01:34] TomG: I appreciate you trying to help out.. I can't see what I'm doing wrong, this doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone [01:34] older version of ubuntu === tabris|a1ay is now known as tabris|away [01:34] it will still work with the newest one [01:34] agreed the instructions will still work [01:34] Barnabas: what i mean is, that thing there assumes i have a livecd, so the livecd i should get is the one fro my version right [01:34] zebastian: doesnt matter [01:35] zebastian: if you want to be paranoid go ahead :P but doesnt matter [01:35] * Barnabas is born paranoid [01:35] ha [01:35] * Barnabas is born a bit crazy [01:35] Thorax: Just downloaded and installed it. Same error. [01:35] but harjot is correct [01:36] harjot: there it says boot off the livecd, that means i will be putting in those commands from the live cd? [01:36] zebastian: all you have to doo is run those commands from thed terminal frmom the livecd [01:36] As i have been coding for 10 years after i first learnt to code C then GTK+ and a whole bunch of other languages i have concluded that any drug above -> hash is evil and shouldnt exist. Weaker things like Marijuana ive not decided on yet but feel its like beer or booze. 80% Strohrum booze is like Heroin so i think that and industrial booze should be illegal to drink as well. Because those will infact make you blind! :) [01:36] hoctopus, well, considering that I haven't yet switched my habits to aptitude, still using apt-get & companions, that does not sound that useful to me. [01:36] hoctopus, and it's rude to shout all caps all the time ;) [01:36] Brimstones: um... think you could stay on topic? this is a support channel [01:36] Brimstones: also, illegal drugs are offtopic even in our offtopic channels [01:36] TomG: http://paste.ubuntu.com/417906/ [01:37] Barnabas: what sort of partition do i have to make for windows? [01:37] zebastian: ntfs [01:37] TomG: see you can find some instructions in the Readme from the package installer [01:37] zebastian: or blank [01:37] zebastian, or blank [01:37] no file system [01:37] maco: No, drugs are crap [01:37] TomG: which somewhat describes what to do [01:37] harjot: but do ihave to assign it a name? [01:37] windows will format under installation [01:37] or just create empty space? [01:37] zebastian: not really [01:37] exactly [01:37] Brimstones: still offtopic for ubuntu channels [01:38] so i just create empty space? [01:38] TomG: but does not fix the problem, for me at least [01:38] zebastian: yes [01:38] I have an external hdd I'm /thinking/ of installing ubuntu too. Can I do this without messing with my current Win7/OSX boot records? Like maybe install ubuntu's bootloader directly to the external? [01:38] zebastian, does not really matter [01:38] zebastian: what barnabas said [01:38] zebastian: winddows will do its stuff later [01:38] maco: Show me how much you love drugs by getting me kicked then :) [01:38] and nuke your grub installation .... [01:38] they really ought to stop doing taht [01:38] that [01:38] zebastian: but if you want a slightly slightly quicker installation for windows then format it as ntfs now [01:38] Thorax: Let me see if I can get it working here. [01:39] Brimstones: i'm asking you to keep on topic. that means either asking or answering ubuntu support questions [01:39] TomG: Ok === maurice is now known as tottto-drummond [01:39] i ask because i dont get this Note that you should also verify that hd0,0 is the correct location for Windows. If you had installed Windows on the 4th partition on the drive, then you should change it to (hd0,3) [01:39] Barnabas: microsoft just want their things everywhere [01:39] well at least they could ask ... [01:39] "do you want to nuke your boot sector" [01:40] i know [01:40] xomp: I know that if you already have Windows installed and you install ubuntu it will work perfectly and you will still be able to access Windows if you need to. Can't say anything about Mac OS X because I've never tried it. [01:40] they think the whole world uses windows [01:40] zebastian: where are the instructions? [01:40] harjot: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [01:40] * Barnabas on lavatory [01:41] zebastian: oh those [01:41] Barnabas: Please help keep this channel ontopic. [01:41] so Barnabas is irish [01:41] gingerheadman, cheers [01:41] xomp, np [01:41] zebastian: all you do is do what it says i doubt you have another partiton [01:41] well [01:42] by default i will have another partition [01:42] zebastian: hd0,0 is the one you installed ubuntu on [01:42] since i will keep this ubuntu install im on [01:42] zebastian: the first partition is ubuntu ? [01:42] zebastian: if so [01:42] I am using wubi to run Ubuntu 9.10 on D drive (1 GB). I have a C drive with Windows Vista. I wanted to know if I can move my current Ubuntu, without losing any files to C drive, and retaining Windows Vista. [01:42] xomp, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328 for info about duel-booting Mac OS X and Ubuntu [01:42] Flannel: Understand that what will be attractive to talk about is how other people do things, and what they think about. [01:42] zebastian: then follow exactly what it says [01:42] Thorax: Ok. You need the full path to the libflashplayer.so, with a preceding npwrapper. [01:42] I swapped a new disk into my (root) md raid1 array a while ago, and just noticed I forgot to set up the boot sector. I thought all I had to do was run grub from the running system, then root (hd0,1) and setup (hd1), but grub doesn't think I have any disks at all (hittlng tab after "root (" shows nothing, "find /boot/grub/stage1" similary nothing. Is there something obvious I need to do? (SATA disks, on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.) [01:43] Brimstones: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. If you want to be social, there are other channels for that, please utilize them. [01:43] Thorax: yours would be /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [01:43] TomG: but I don't use the wrapper.. i don't think. What exactly consitutes full path? [01:44] Flannel: Social and helping cant mean the same thing. Please chill for a bit Mr Flannel. [01:44] TomG: let me check :) [01:44] * Barnabas back [01:44] * harjot wonders what the smell is [01:44] TomG: still get the error [01:44] hola buenas noches, como entro al canal en castellano? [01:44] I literally pasted the line you gave me [01:44] You farted harjot ? [01:44] sorry!!!!! I spent 2 hours last night looking for basic software available and barely made a dent in the repository just trying to load up my system with the basic stuff that one would have wanted on a store shopping spree. anyways sorry for the caps lock being on. I've been using linux for 13 years and digging through massive repositories is a headache trait of linux. but then again nobody appreciated my pointing out the fedor [01:44] a security problem in 2008 either [01:44] harjot, be carefull or Flannel will spank you [01:45] Brimstones: barnabas went to the toilet [01:45] Brimstones: last warning, social chat belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic not here [01:45] LuisV: ubuntu-es [01:45] gracias [01:46] zebastian: where are you on the process? [01:46] Thorax: That'd worked for me. Maybe you could try what mine is because you also have it. /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [01:46] let me check the dir [01:46] I am using wubi to run Ubuntu 9.10 on D drive (1 GB). I have a C drive with Windows Vista (499 GB). I wanted to know if I can move my current Ubuntu, without losing any files to C drive, and retaining Windows Vista. [01:46] harjot: backing up [01:46] zebastian, way to go [01:46] Hey guys, how I would find out very specific hardware info such as the chipset of my internal wireless card in my laptop etc? I have entered the p/n on the compaq website but only got generic info about the network interfaces. [01:47] zebastian, real men dont backup, real men cry a lot [01:47] Barnabas: so you are irish and itll take 36 hours it says [01:47] Barnabas, so true XD [01:47] zebastian, Im from Denmark ;-) [01:47] still a red head tough [01:47] TomG: Tom, I don't have the wrapper for flash [01:47] TomG: Are you using the 64 bit version of it? [01:48] Barnabas: det er godt [01:48] takk [01:48] Thorax: Yes. I have 64bit flash 10. [01:48] for hjelpe [01:48] zebastian, you are welcome but this channel is english [01:48] TomG: the actual file, is it named with the wrapper? [01:48] other ppl may benifit from keeping to english [01:48] TomG: or is it something that you prefixed to make it work? [01:48] Thorax: No. It's named libflashplayer.so. Did you install flash manually? [01:48] yes [01:48] a [01:49] ok [01:49] TomG: yes [01:49] I belive this channel is transcriped somewhere [01:49] techzg, I assume you want to create a second partition on the disk you currently use for windows vista. boot from the ubuntu cd, then click on System->Partition Editor. resize your 499GB partition and create a new ext4 partition in the free space [01:49] Thorax: And you followed the installation instructions by removing the flash plugin installer package? [01:49] online log or something [01:49] barnabad: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [01:50] TomG: not sure if i did that [01:50] * Barnabas [01:50] gingerheadman: Not exactly. [01:50] Hi [01:50] TomG: i have no idea what I did that day to remove flash :) [01:50] someone speak spanish? [01:50] gingerheadman: I would like to have Ubuntu and Vista on the same Drive: C [01:50] !sp | karmic [01:51] gingerheadman: is that possible [01:51] Thorax: Here's the guide I used. http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-ubuntu-64bit.html [01:51] karmic: #ubuntu-es [01:51] hola [01:51] soy nuevo en ubuntu [01:51] TomG: I will walk though it to see if I screwed something up [01:51] techzg, well i don't think you can install ubuntu to an ntfs partition [01:52] can someone help me check out if i have some system requirements for a future install? [01:52] necesito obtener ayuda para arreglar mi tarjeta wifi [01:52] gingerheadman...you can install it anywhere [01:52] !es | karmic [01:52] karmic: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[01:52] oh ok well i stand corrected then :P [01:52] i need to have 1 GHz 32-bit processor DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM driver model 1.0 and 1 gb ram [01:53] Monotoko: Can you answer my question please? [01:53] soreau: hey how's it going [01:54] techzg, sorry i missed it, whats the q? [01:54] Monotoko: I am using wubi to run Ubuntu 9.10 on D drive (1 GB). I have a C drive with Windows Vista (499 GB). I wanted to know if I can move my current Ubuntu, without losing any files to C drive, and retaining Windows Vista. [01:55] zebastian: sorry what wer you asking? [01:55] i need to have 1 GHz 32-bit processor DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM driver model 1.0 and 1 gb ram [01:55] how do i check if i have those [01:55] DirectX 9 is winblows crap :/ [01:55] techzg, one second [01:56] can u select specific files in nautilus like hitting Ctrl+leftclick in windows explorer [01:56] chrometiger: yes you can [01:56] whats the hotkey? [01:56] I am trying to use the mini.iso but it does not detect my network card. Any suggestions ? I want to do a cli only installation. [01:57] techzg, can i PM you because this is going to take a bit of explaining? [01:57] i am on a compaq presario cq40 laptop [01:57] Anyone good at getting commercial DVDs to play in Ubuntu? [01:57] Monotoko: sure [01:57] zebastian: im on a compaq presario c700 [01:57] zebastian: doesnt it say on the back> [01:57] ? [01:57] yes [01:57] i mean [01:57] chrometiger: if you want to select multiple files in nautilus you just hold control and left-click on the file [01:57] I suggest Futurama for myself. Thanks Myself. I love myself. Have a great time YA'll!!! [01:58] how do i check if its windows 7 compatible [01:58] hi, is there a way to make the fn key work with ubuntu 9.10 in a laptop hp dv2842se? [01:58] hmm i have compiz set to that no wonder [01:58] zebastian, check in #windows [01:59] good idea [01:59] yo === ghost is now known as Guest66400 [01:59] chrometiger, ah i see. compiz will override any other key bindings so you should see if you can change the compiz hotkey [02:00] zebastian, win7 will probably format your new partition [02:00] and select a suitable file system [02:00] Gowesty1990, i think you're out of luck for commercial DVDs until medibuntu is back online [02:00] Is there a cli only option with the alternate cd ? [02:00] UserA: Yes, you have to hit f4 (or f5?) to choose it now though [02:00] zebastian: i would have thought windows 7 would be compatible if youy have enough ram and meet the reuirements [02:01] Please help me with a security question: http://pastebin.com/NFjSM65h [02:01] which is the best web development ide on linux? [02:01] zebastian: otherwise setup would stop you [02:01] TomG: I followed the instructions and I still get the error === gcunha_ is now known as GuilhermeCunha [02:01] TomG: everything seems to work in firefox [02:02] ZykoticK9: There is no DVD support for Ubuntu? [02:02] a [02:02] Gowesty1990, there is, but it relies of medibuntu which is currently not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/565810 [02:02] s/of/on [02:02] Thorax: Do you have nsplugginwrapper installed then? [02:02] now I do [02:03] TomG: now I do [02:03] how do i check how much memory i havre [02:03] Thorax: And you ran those commands in the guide? Also, you're using the config with npwrapper.libflashplayer.so, correct? [02:03] zebastian, free in a terminal [02:03] TomG: No, not using the config [02:03] TomG: Where can I find it? [02:04] Thorax: I meant in hulu. [02:04] Hallo. I am using an AO751h, with a GMA500, I am looking for drivers for my graphics card, but when I have searched I have only found them dating back to akiniemi [02:04] TomG: Yes, yes [02:04] Jaunty [02:05] TomG: I had one issue when following the commands on the website [02:05] zebastian: system>administration>system monitor [02:05] ZykoticK9: are you talking about medibuntu.org? [02:05] Thorax: Have you tried running huludesktop from command line? Maybe you'd get something more helpful there [02:06] Gowesty1990, yes - the web site is up, but the repo is down, thus you could infact download the libdvdcss2 package and install it - sorry forgot about that, too used to using apt to install things :) [02:06] TomG: I get the same error from the terminal. The message I got earlier was "dante@ubuntu:/$ sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:06] nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so" [02:07] ZykoticK9: I see what you mean, I found a package online to try but it is trying to connect to medibuntu.org but it is timing out [02:07] TomG: but I went on with the rest of the commands, creating the links and everything [02:07] Hi there, "I'm getting subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2" after sudo dpkg -i on a custom kernel image [02:07] Thorax: Go to private chat [02:09] hi every one [02:09] rxt0: Hate to tell you custom kernel issues are not supported here. Did you try googling the error msg? [02:09] i have some question [02:10] greezmunkey: oh, didn't know that, sorry, I'll search more [02:11] rxt0: sorry man, good luck. [02:11] what are ways to determine why a wired connection always fails after a period of use? My wired connection only works again after I restart ubuntu. I've been using the same setup for about a year and it only happened recently [02:11] ZykoticK9: is there any other way to get it working? [02:11] a friend of mine just told me he changed the owner of /bin, /boot, /etc, /lib, /media, /mnt, /opt, /root, /sbin, /selinux, /srv, /tmp, /usr and /var from root to his user. are there any problems with this? [02:11] Gowesty1990, not that i'm aware of -- just have to wait for medibuntu to come back online i'm affraid [02:11] I've tried restarting the driver for my ethernet card, but when I do that, eth0 disappears [02:12] gingerheadman: It won't be a happy computer [02:12] gusty: look in /var/log/syslog, to see if you can find a clue as to why. That's a start [02:12] gingerheadman: tell him to run "rm -f /" to check things out [02:12] rfm, lol [02:12] !danger [02:12] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [02:13] rfm: Things like that are liable to get you banned [02:13] greezmunkey: what should I look for in the log? === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [02:14] anyways, does anyone know what will actually happen if you set your user to own everything on the filesystem? [02:15] just upgraded from 9.4 to 9.10 and all network interfaces does not come up automatically. I had to do "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2; route add..." to be able to enter this chat... any hints? [02:15] gusty: there is a time stamp on the entries, if you have an idea of the last time this occurred, you could start there. I can't tell you what to look for without knowing more about your system. [02:15] gingerheadman, why would you do that? the system was NOT meant to be run that way. [02:16] gusty: Except to say that I'd look for kernel error messages, anything that has to do with networking, etc. [02:16] gingerheadman: the system won't let you do that anyways. there are protective measures in there that prevent it for some files [02:16] greezmunkey: OK i see [02:17] i need to add a job to anacrontab to stop internet access, howto? [02:17] ZykoticK9: well he just installed lampp, which installs to /opt and he said he wanted a way to be able to change the files in /opt/lampp/htdocs (cause thats where lampp looks for php documents) so i told him how to use chown and then he did it to the whole filesystem :P [02:17] HABLAMOS [02:18] CaptainTrek, he did say there were a few files that wouldn't change [02:18] gingerheadman, using lampp is also not such a great idea. Why use 3rd party apps when everything is available from Ubuntu repos (other then lazyness) [02:18] can anyone help? [02:18] network manager icon say "device is not manageable". how to fix this? just upgraded from 9.4 to 9.10 [02:19] ginverheadman: his system might become fubar because of that, there is a LOT that you only want root to have access to and not the main user [02:19] ZykoticK9, he had used xampp on windows so a suppose he just got lampp because he already knew how to use it [02:19] gingerheadman, see my last message there [02:19] pzn, you must have something specified in /etc/network/interfaces [02:19] please? [02:19] t0bi, did you ask a question? [02:20] CaptainTrek, thanks [02:20] zebastian: backup complete? [02:20] gingerheadman: the serious point of the evil command I (almost) posted is that running with the permissions set that way vastly increases the chance that an accidental error will have really nasty consequences. [02:20] so uhh [02:20] im having this blank screen problem when i boot up [02:21] the screen suddenly goes black after i see the ubuntu logo [02:21] t0bi: blank screen means?, is that terminal? [02:21] ZykoticK9, so what type should I add "inet static", "inet dhcp", "inet manual"? [02:21] blank screen as in the screen is displaying nothing but the color black [02:21] rfm, yeah i get your point === blueghost is now known as No27Day [02:22] there is difference between black screen and blank screen so you have to mention it exactly, t0bi [02:22] ok. is there any way to fix this? [02:22] pzn, my /etc/network/interfaces file (with the cat command) http://paste.ubuntu.com/418051/ [02:23] t0bi: its depends on your version of ubuntu, and graphics driver [02:23] i have ubuntu 9.10 and im not so sure about the graphics driver [02:23] pzn: insert a "#" in front of all lines except ones that have a "lo" in them. Then issue: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart from a terminal. [02:23] <^Lem^> hi all. Where is the gapless audio CD burning feature in Brasero? burnt a CD yesterday, needed to be gapless, couldn't find the option. wasted a CD. [02:24] i've looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen but I cant run any of the commands [02:24] ZykoticK9, greezmunkey: ok, I'll do it, however I'll lose connection with the channel... be back later [02:24] t0bi: did you made any changes like, updates, theme installations . . . [02:24] nope [02:25] t0bi: try this key combination to get terminal, alt+ctrl+f1 [02:25] do i have to be logged in for this key combination to work?

[02:33] ZykoticK9, greezmunkey: network is working now. thanks. however, everytime I download a big file, the wireless connection drops and then comes back after 1/2 a minute... what could be this?

When I have a non empty .htaccess document, with even "RewriteEngine On" I get a 500 internal server error. Am I missing something?

The people in #winehq might know. [02:44] Does anyone know for sure if there is a solution for the year 2038 bug, or are we relying on the fact that 32bit will be dead and gone by then? A buddy is freaking at me, and wants a source for it being fixed :P [02:45] SpenserJ, i think were assuming 32bit will be gone [02:45] Dr_Willis: howdy [02:45] first bit of that iv heard SpenserJ o_o [02:45] SpenserJ, the only real issue would be imbedded systems that are harder to update, I'm sure there would be only a few in use. [02:45] prob like the 2k bug aload of bollox ;) [02:45] Moo to You geekphreak . [02:45] can I tell apt-get to install suggested packages with a command line switch? [02:45] zoopzo0, its when the time on a 32bit system cant add anymore [02:46] and resets to 0 [02:46] ie: 1/1/1970 [02:46] Haha yeah, thats what I figured guys. Been trying to find anything related to it in the unix source (or even anything *nix related), but there are a heck of a lot of updates to it :P [02:46] I'm sick of looking at "54GB Filesystem", is there a way to rename it? [02:46] yeh [02:46] Monotoko_Sleep: [02:46] the same with the 2k bug.. [02:46] garett_...just right click it [02:46] I figured everyone relied on 32bit being ancient by then, so I'll tell him that all of you geniuses agreed :D [02:46] garrett_: set a actual Label on the filesystem so it has a 'name' i belive. [02:46] Thanks guys [02:46] timClicks, Which packages are you looking for? ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:46] how do you remove a package you installed, its dependencies and any directories it created? Also, know of any hacks I can run when installing a package to keep all that info handy or is there a log kept? [02:46] Monotoko_Sleep: wouldn't it flop over to some time in 1902? [02:46] garrett_: mark an press f2, does it work? [02:46] SpenserJ: u on 9.10? [02:46] should i put beta on ? :D [02:47] 10.04 on my desktop, but I use a macbook :P [02:47] Geekthras, the 32bit counter starts 1/1/1970 [02:47] though actually, the 2038 bug has caused issues already [02:47] i had a hackintosh [02:47] so adding a label throug gparted will do it? [02:47] for about 6months [02:47] not bad.. :p [02:47] Both of which run 64bit, and I am assuming it uses int64 for that [02:47] Hey guys. [02:47] zoopZoO: Definitely put 10.04 on. It is awesome [02:47] So uh, I know there's naturally going to be cries of "Oh, evil!" [02:47] i might do it now [02:47] Monotoko_Sleep: 2^31 seconds = 68 years [02:47] i was messing around with sabayon === garrett_ is now known as gdewald [02:47] uh... wait, never mind. wrong channel. [02:47] gentoo based.. but it seems to hard for me :p [02:48] zoopZoO: A little bit buggy still, but for the most part it is quite stable. Random crashes occur (or so it says) but I haven't had an app actually crash in weeks [02:48] therefore, since teh bug is at 2038, not 2106, it's signed [02:48] sounds goods [02:48] timClicks: sudo apt-get -o APT::Install-Suggests=true install packagenamehere [02:48] so a signed 32 bit integer would flop over to -68 years and change [02:48] nautilus2? [02:48] zen933k: no, just in general.. e.g. for sudo apt-get install inkscape, I would like apt to install its suggested packages too, e.g. dia dia-gnome libsvg-perl libxml-xql-perl skencil ttf-dejavu pstoedit imagemagick-doc python-lxml-dbg python-numpy-doc === garrett_ is now known as gdewald [02:49] rww: ty [02:49] Geekthras, you just outgeeked me -.- [02:49] \o/ [02:49] timClicks: test it and let me know if it doesn't work [02:49] I Just love the GAdmintools. I waant moooore! :) [02:50] timClicks: use aptitude [02:50] whats that all about Brimstones ?

[03:18] ChogyDan, it may be too late :S [03:19] well, just boot the livecd and recover your files.. [03:19] OK I just started it up and It stops at the username login screen.

[03:22] not that I will have to, but you never know [03:22] gdewald: So long as it isn't the Win7 boot partition...that thing is deadly [03:23] kman: do you get any error messages? [03:23] kman: at the login screen does it gives you options to the desktop you want to log into eg. Gnome, xterm, KDE [03:23] gdewald: as long as you're not changing the label on the windows partition, it should be fine [03:23] I'm installing 9.1 on my vista laptop. I created partitions for ubuntu and swap with live gparted. I need clarification with manual selection of partitions. I chose the two partitions to be used as ext3 and swap, mounting at "/". I left the vista partition alone. Is this what I want to do to install ubuntu onto the secondary partition and leave vista alone, and have grub replace windows bootloader? [03:23] what are map registers? [03:23] er, yeah, what zen933k said too lol, I'm a little slow [03:24] arborius: you got it! [03:24] the problem is, I'm trying to rename the filesystems because I'm kinda sick of the "XXGB Filesystem" names [03:24] Gnea: I'm a netbook user but I'm pretty sure default gnome gives the xterm option? [03:24] zen933k: pretty sure too, yeah [03:24] kman: try f1 - f6. f7 is to get back [03:24] arborius: yes sir [03:24] NO error message and none of the ctrl alt numbers does anything. [03:24] I understand you have to unmount the partitions to do that, right? [03:25] I can enter in a username and it then prompts for password and when I do that it then goes to a blank screen. [03:25] kman: for all accounts? [03:25] I could try at that point to enter the ctrl alt 7. One moment please [03:25] kman: so, ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt bring you to a black screen with text? [03:26] kman: when you boot your computer up does grub give you the option to boot into recovery mode? [03:26] When I boot up there is some options that I have never tried. I can explore those.

[03:28] kman: if you can get into recovery mode, see if you can create a new user with the adduser command, then reboot and try logging in with that [03:28] kman: grub will have the first selection as your default Ubuntu boot, but right below it it will have an option for recovery usually [03:28] OK I'll see what happens during a restart and see if I can get into recovery. === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux_ [03:31] Hey guys.

[03:37] isaac_: yes, it should be, just stop the 1st torrent client, start the 2nd client and give it the same torrent file and the same download folder.

[03:46] kman: what flavor of ubuntu are you using? ubuntu desktop? server? kubuntu? etc [03:47] kman: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --fix-missing [03:47] rafaelsoaresbr: do you mean that the boot starts with mbr on sdb (hd1)? and that it shall chainload into sda7 (hd0,6or7)? [03:47] NeedleInYourArms: You could check out this suggestion: http://www.symbiosoft.net/?q=node/66 [03:47] Thanks zen. I 'll try that and see what happens. [03:48] how can i tell which nic my ubuntu client is using to get out to the net? [03:48] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and updated and rebooted as it asked me to... and now it wont login it just accepts the password, trys to login, then crashes back to login prompt [03:48] thanks zen933k ill try that and get back to you [03:49] nyhcjedi, netstat -r [03:49] Chog. I originally started with the 8.? server version and then decided to move to the non server to get some of the more current updates. [03:49] NeedleInYourArms: Try googling around with your laptop. Seems to be a common Toshi issue. [03:49] at termina [03:49] termina [03:49] ;terminal? sorry [03:49] nyhcjedi, and see what interface is set for default gateway [03:49] will do [03:49] default line [03:49] yes [03:49] !! help -- my computer keeps trying to connect to my neighbor's network after bootup.. anyone, any ideas? [03:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:49] NeedleInYourArms: yeah toshiba laptops are a pain :( [03:49] I have one too [03:50] OK I'll be away for a minute while I try the sudo apt-get. [03:50] David-A, All I know is that it loads the GRUB that is installed at /dev/sda7 [03:50] ty mc [03:50] np [03:50] What do you do if you can't run nautilus? [03:50] run mc? [03:50] David-A the file so far: Is this the file stored in Ubuntu's "Downloads" folder, that Properties says is already full size? Or do I need to find the Transmission operating folder to get the part file? [03:50] b00b: Settings-> Network Connections -> click wireless tab, delete his network [03:51] tvaughn: try select session "gnome failsafe" before login, then try debug/fix problem, then remember to switch back to "gnome" when it works [03:51] ZEN == thx so much!! [03:52] all those days spent pulling my hair out are paying off... [03:52] why r the buttons on the left window side now? [03:52] isaac: what folder it downloads to should be a setting in the torrent client (or maybe can be selected per torrent file) [03:52] rafaelsoaresbr, /dev/sda7 would have line root (hd0,6) I think [03:52] markatto: politics ;) [03:53] zen933k: is not the right side more proper and better for the use of people? [03:53] er [03:53] whit? [03:53] what? [03:53] markatto /join #ubuntu+1 [03:54] had i wished to acquire a computer window buttons on right i would buy apple [03:54] isaac: a partially received file will have a file size indicating a complete file (but with good filesystem, the not yet received parts of the file will occupy no disk space) [03:54] markatto: type /join #ubuntu+1 [03:54] My internet connection is slllloooooowwww (hence the bit torrents) so I haven't tried a beta. Are the buttons in new Ubuntu (Lucid) really so hideous? [03:54] Hello. I need help. [03:55] Fikcio what's the problem? [03:55] issac_ yes [03:55] they are God awful [03:55] I'm having problems with GRUB after having tried to reinstall Windows. [03:55] CaptainTrek: is this channel not ubuntu help channel? [03:55] Fikcio: normaly windows deletes grub [03:55] markatto: yes, for stable released versions. here, i'll show you [03:55] !lucid | markatto [03:55] Yes. I'm trying to reinstall GRUB, but I get error 17. [03:55] markatto: 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 [03:56] I recommend waiting for the release, I still get plenty of bugs with Lucid [03:56] Fikcio boot from the Ubuntu live cd and fix grub from it. [03:56] for example, I can't run updates now [03:56] hint: be free of UI politics: use kubuntu-desktop which mark shuttleworth doesn't [03:56] Yes, I'm using Ubuntu Live CD right now. [03:56] whats a good video player for ubuntu? I need one that works well with subtitle fonts and multiple audio streams [03:56] VLC is awesome [03:56] Fikcio alternatively, use a partition editor (like the one on that live CD), delete all Ubuntu and reinstall it. It would also fix GRUB en route. [03:56] I just downloaded the netbook remix..and the usb creator app won't load the iso. The iso has been verified as good. [03:57] Any ideas on this? [03:57] Kind of like burning down the barn to kill the rats, but it would work with least nit-picking. [03:57] Hi, I want to use putty to connect to my Linux machine; putty -D 8080 -P 443 -ssh homeIP; if I use a local ip address (192.168.0.3) it works fine. but how can I change it to actual ip address; The problem is that all computers in my network have same ip; so what I should insert for homeIP? [03:57] straterra: are you in the live cd now¿ [03:57] MrD_, I hate VLC, it uses its own fonts for displaying subtitles [03:57] markatto: http://lifehacker.com/5500577/move-ubuntus-window-buttons-back-to-the-right [03:57] No.. [03:57] straterra unetbootin [03:57] I'm in Windows [03:57] David-A: could grub cause this? [03:57] Is it necessary that I delete my partitions? [03:58] also, the netbook edition has a fatal flaw (when I used it a month ago) the program menu doesn't scroll down as far as it should! I was missing programs! I'd suggest sticking to regular old 9.10 [03:58] zen933k: why do i wish to use hacker site? [03:58] I mean, all I need to do is reinstall GRUB so that I can access my Ubuntu. [03:58] iflema, I'm going to intall 9.10, so it installs grub2, can you post a reply here: http://pastebin.com/nUrJh3R8 ? [03:58] zen933k: i do not want hacked my computer [03:58] oh failsafe worked.. [03:58] Fikcio just google "repair grub from live cd" [03:58] so I can't install updates from update manager [03:58] I get this: The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. [03:58] Yes, I did. [03:58] markatto: I seriously hope you are joking [03:58] after I ran 'su' [03:58] I followed all the steps and read the troubleshooting. [03:58] markatto: Certainly not what that site is for :P The article talks about the buttons. I'll just top since it's not the topic of the chan though [03:59] tvaughn: sorry, cause what? [03:59] Still get this error 17. [03:59] so you did find out which partiton has grub and run setup for it? [03:59] David-A: the login issue but it worked in failsafe what do I do now [03:59] Yes, this is not the first time I have to do this. [03:59] I don't know what's going on. [03:59] I mean which partition has stage1 file [03:59] straterra: so you are using unetbootin¿ [03:59] zen933k: why you try to get my computer hacked? [04:00] Zen. the sudo apt-get update failed with a bunch of warnings and an error message. It suggested trying sudo dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem. [04:00] markatto: he is not relax man, its a safe site [04:00] Fikcio I did it in the past [04:00] Yes. Last time I did: root (hd0,0); setup (hd0). [04:00] markatto: stop trolling [04:00] Now it raises error 17 after setup (hd0). [04:00] it seems to be running something and hopefully it will get the upgrade back on the rails. [04:00] geekphreak, hows it going [04:00] tvaughn: grub is not involved when logging in. i would suspect old settings not compatible with new programs if login fails after upgrade (settings in dot-files in home folder) [04:01] David-A: well what should I do [04:01] Fikcio, well then google grub error 17, I found this e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 [04:01] kman it didnt help [04:01] how i use this "gconf-editor" [04:01] i do not see in menu [04:02] IdleOne, - are you gonna unban me or what lol [04:02] markatto: terminal [04:02] markatto, "gconf-editor" in a terminal [04:02] markatto hit Alt F2 and type gconf-editor [04:02] rafaelsoaresbr on screen 7 of the installer click on advanced and hit the dropdown box [04:02] Or terminal [04:02] wow, late, cya guys [04:02] join #chits [04:02] mc_, I cannot imagine what could have changed since the last time I did this, but I'll give it a try. [04:02] Thank you. [04:02] epispider: don't spam [04:03] kman: Sorry I missed your message [04:03] bodi: ban evading, you have been banned once already [04:03] please join #ubuntu-ops [04:03] kman: Try doing what it suggests. [04:03] tvaughn: copy all dot-files to a temporary folder (e.g. called "dot-file-backup/") and see if login works (all your themes and mails will be gone) then dot files back one at a time , logout and login, and see when it stops working, that is the offending dotfile. then copy all other dotfiles back and themes and mails should be back. [04:04] yes you banned me last night hiexpo and i appoligize i should not have blew up [04:04] gconf-editor is like windows registry? [04:04] bodi: please join #ubuntu-ops. [04:04] David-A: there has to be a less tedius way.. [04:04] ok [04:05] markatto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gconf-editor [04:05] tvaughn: yes, see log files and google suspect error messages [04:05] zen933k: that seemed to work thank you =] [04:05] tvaughn: e.g. .xsession-errors [04:06] NeedleInYourArms: Monitor your CPU temp for a bit [04:06] how i change settings it "gconf-editor" ????? [04:06] umm how do i do that? [04:06] NeedleInYourArms: If your bios has fail safe for CPU temp shutdown you may want to set them. If you find you can run games/apps without things getting too hot then consider yourself fixed ;) [04:07] markatto: what do you want to change¿¿ [04:07] ahh [04:07] can i use the widget for cpu temp? [04:07] NeedleInYourArms: sudo apt-get acpi [04:07] xangua: window button position [04:07] ohh ok [04:07] NeedleInYourArms: sudo apt-get acpi [04:07] iflema, thanks, i am on windows right now, going restart to install ubuntu. so (hd0,6) is /dev/sda7 for grub2 [04:07] I fixed it, it was some sudo problems [04:07] NeedleInYourArms: er, yeah the widget might be handy too if it works :) [04:07] any widget that tells you how much energy your PC takes? [04:07] or consumes actually? [04:07] NeedleInYourArms: acpi -V will give you all kinds of fun stats [04:07] markatto: go to /apps/metacity/general ; button_layout entry [04:08] rafaelsoaresbr no... (hd0,7) hit the dropdown box youll see sda7 [04:08] iflema, sorry it's (hd0,7) [04:08] xangua: what is "metacity" [04:08] markatto: looks like there is a gui to make easier this; ubuntu tweak is called [04:09] NeedleInYourArms: The widgets do not seem to work on my netbook so I depend on 'acpi' to keep me updated. You can always read up on it by googling it [04:09] rafaelsoaresbr the installer is easy... screen 7 advanced dropdown box..... alternate cd will be slightly different [04:09] markatto: metacity is the gnome window manager [04:09] David-A: I dont have a .xsession-errors [04:10] iflema, thanks, i am going to connect to this channel during instalation [04:10] oh in my home dir [04:10] hm fatal io error might do it [04:10] zen933k: i think im good actually the fan is kicking on and off like its sposed to now [04:10] ive gotta go put me netbook in the shop ;)... good luck... [04:10] it tell me i cannot edit "button_layout" [04:10] NeedleInYourArms: Sweet. Enjoy Ubuntu :) [04:10] will do [04:10] and thanks for the help [04:11] i know i coulda googled it but i wouldnt know where to start lol [04:11] markatto: are you talking about Lucid? [04:11] No prob. This channel has saved me enough times. [04:11] h00k: new ubuntu version [04:11] markatto: If you're referring to lucid, that discussion takes place in #ubuntu+1 [04:12] tvaughn: there should be a .xsession-errors after you have loggen in in a graphical environment (as opposed to text mode) its a hidden file so you need ls -a or control-h in the file browser [04:12] NeedleInYourArms: I wanted to know when I saw toshiba in case I end up putting Ubuntu on my gf's one day [04:12] David-A: I found it but google is failing me :( [04:12] ohh so i helped you in the process also sweet [04:12] I don't really get what I'm supposed to do with gwibber... [04:13] gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 [04:13] NeedleInYourArms: It's a L300D [04:13] NeedleInYourArms: Yeah, that's how I've gained most of my *nix knowledge. Solving other peoples issues ;) [04:14] trying to get xubuntu on my dell mini 10. Want to put it on sda5, already have a swap and want to preserve xp and dell restore. How do I set up the bootloader [04:14] Offtopic where? [04:14] tvaughn: what about creating a new user, e.g. "alterego" and login into that, see if that work. then old dotfiles are even more likely the cause. [04:14] finally fixed my system [04:14] jesus fucking christ [04:14] ¯`'·.žž.·'Ž`'·.ž.*cracking the whip©===(¯`'·.žž.·'Ž`'·.ž.* [04:14] Maeda: please watch your language [04:14] took all day, now I can get started on my paper [04:14] !language | Maeda [04:14] Maeda: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[04:23] !alternate [04:23] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [04:23] ohh [04:23] wondered what that was [04:23] :D [04:23] now you know :) [04:24] oollaaa [04:24] Lucid [04:24] IdleOne: ill probably forget in a day tho :( [04:24] tvaughn: you can download it at ubuntu.com and you can always ask in here [04:25] I know [04:25] I love it here :) [04:25] can anyone help me with my network manager it looks like it is there but it will not show up in system/admin [04:26] Is anyone else having issues with chromium? My mouse is being wierd.

[04:29] hi someone in spanish? === edson is now known as Guest55069 [04:30] hello everyone [04:30] howdy dubaya [04:30] oh my god [04:30] xangua: same thing in google-chrome-beta, google-chrome-unstable, and google-chromuim [04:30] I am downloading libdvdcss...when i try doing that i get the following error that connection to packages.medibuntu.org is timed out [04:31] I typed "cat" without any proceeding options to maybe get a menu, but instead it's defragmenting some things - Is this common, can you use cat to defrag a ext3 or ext4 partition? [04:31] I tried ping packages.medibuntu.org and it looks like the server is down [04:31] It's been having issues today [04:31] anyone knows if I can use a mirror for packages.medibunty.org [04:31] i want to know how to use "eclipse" [04:32] VinceN, did you reply to me [04:32] xangua: any other ideas what it could be. [04:32] !es > karmic [04:32] karmic, please see my private message [04:32] roark: they're all down unfortunately at the moment (I tried multiple mirrors) [04:32] zmbmartin: no, I rarely use chromium [04:32] CaptainTrek, cool thanks any ideas when they will be back... [04:32] !es [04:32] anyone else having problems with chromium? [04:32] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:32] roark: looks like medibuntu is not aviable [04:32] roark: nope, check in #medibuntu [04:32] roark: /join #medibuntu [04:32] roark: Was not aware you messaged me. What can I do for you? [04:33] CaptainTrek: didn't know there was a medibuntu channel === Guest55069 is now known as edsonpaul [04:33] xangua: information on that channel was courtesy of the ubuntu ops, they told me the channel was there [04:33] I just "lost" my external USB HD. mount says something about a bad superblock and windows XP can't use it either. I have no idea, what could have caused this, no crash happened, afaict. What can I do to recover my disk? [04:34] VinceN, Sorry I thought you replied to my message... looks like I was wrong... [04:34] so is 60 f a good cpu temp? [04:35] 60°C often is a good CPU temp these days [04:35] ahh good then the thing worked [04:35] why does ubuntu hate me? [04:35] hmw, i usually begin to panic at 85 C [04:36] hmw, what's the issue? [04:36] hmw: does it exists as a device in /dev, e.g. /dev/sdc or something? then use special programs to extract files from damaged harddisks [04:36] yes, its listed with fstab -l [04:36] fyi F13 opens the console... [04:36] the disk is quite new [04:37] hmw: is the usb cable long? [04:38] David-A: about 1.5m, it was part of the package. I used it with a USB Hub [04:38] I can't "extract" really, because it is my BIG disk :/ [04:39] I now have a 1TB external hard drive, and I need to format the darn thing to something that hopefully won't bother with permissions but still be readable and writable in Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows [04:39] oh and could someone help me with vlc by chance i cant get it to save a playlist/library [04:40] ZEn you still out there? [04:40] i could under windows but not kubunt to for some reason o.o [04:40] Some_Person: quite a tall order [04:40] Some_Person, Set it up as a FAT32 Filesystem [04:40] but I guess FAT would be most cross-platform friendly, unless someone knows of a better solution [04:40] ALL OSES can write to it [04:41] er yes, FAT32 >_< [04:41] TimothyA: I have it as NTFS now, and the darn permissions are screwing me up between operating systems [04:41] Capt_Blackwood: although *nix/mac need some encouragement [04:41] is this a good place to get help with a wireless network card (BCM4318 on Ubuntu 9.10) [04:41] Will FAT32 have the same problem, and does it even support 1TB drives? [04:41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT32 [04:41] This allows for drive sizes of up to 8 TiB with 32 KiB clusters, but the boot sector uses a 32-bit field for the sector count, limiting volume size to 2 TiB on a hard disk with 512 byte sectors. [04:42] Some_Person, do you have a program called GParted? [04:42] that's how i set mine up [04:42] David-A: i'd expect some IO errors, if there was a physical error, so I assume, it's just logical. Are there any tools, that might be able to recover the partition? [04:42] Capt_Blackwood: I'm not a newbie [04:42] Hello all Is there a sudo apt-get -fixmissing command? [04:42] Some_Person: FAT32 is a bad decision for large drives :P [04:42] hmw: i recall i read about problems with usb harddisk, when accounting the part of the cable inside the computer box it was maybe over 1 meter. try shorter cable and no hub [04:42] I know NTFS can be read and written to in linux. [04:42] Capt_Blackwood: What would you recommend then? [04:42] This limitation is by design and according to Microsoft was imposed because many tasks on a very large FAT32 file system become slow and inefficient. [04:42] MACS are read only from what i know [04:43] I guess it's too late for a shorter cable now. That is really bad. As bad as W95... [04:43] I suggest just using ext2 and using something in windows to read that ;>_> [04:43] Capt_Blackwood: You can write to NTFS on Mac OS X with MacFuse and some NTFS-3G thingy for it [04:43] Can Macs see EXT2? [04:43] hmw: there are a lot of recovery programs in the repositories, depending what was wrong and what to recover [04:43] oh...i see [04:44] I'm really hoping for a file system that will completely ignore permissions though. That is my problem [04:44] Some_Person, there's no filesystem that I know of that ignores permissions. [04:44] I don't know about large drives...sorry.

[04:46] I just want to store some damn files without any permissions crap [04:46] pmp6nl check where??? [04:47] Some_Person: i'd use NTFS [04:47] gimpster_: Give me one sec === mike is now known as Guest86922 [04:47] hmw: I have it as that now, and am having permissions issues [04:47] gimpster http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=336 [04:47] I don't want to play with the permissions every time I write to it [04:47] crucial any help is totally cool | thanks pmp [04:48] some_person, you shouldnt be. mine works fine between win7, vista, and ubuntu. what ubuntu version? [04:48] Some_Person: you can't expect permissions to work on a non-native filesystem. Either you have no perms and some programs will not like it, but everyone can access it, or you have to use ext{2|3|4} and deal WITH permissions. [04:48] gimpster_: Does this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:48] pmp6nl: Perhaps part of my problem also lies with accessing it via network [04:48] Hey, I'm wondering if someone could help me walk through some steps to figure out why my boot screen is blank after grub loads kernel. [04:48] crucial i will look it up now and see thanks [04:49] A few days ago, the latest build of lucid was working great. THen after a few updates, I can't get to gdm. It shows loading screen, goes blank. Doesn't respond to ctrl+alt+f# keys === mike_ is now known as Guest58707 [04:49] gimpster_: Ok. Let us knw :) [04:49] Some_Person, have you tried accessing another hard drive locally?

[04:51] Basically, what I did was mounted it in Windows (on a machine connected via the network), created some files, booted ubuntu on that same machine, and those files are read-only [04:52] DankNugs: well, it's a beta after all, what were you expecting¿ [04:52] Some_Person can you access the windows partition on that hd from ubuntu (all on the same computer)? [04:53] oh, I know. I don't have a problem with it. :) I was just curious if someone could help me through some troubleshooting is all. Hard for me to do it on forums. But thank you. [04:53] DankNugs, 10.04 LTS? [04:53] DankNugs, if yes please try #ubuntu+1 [04:53] Yeah, but this isn't the channel for it. I just found that out. [04:54] damn, nearly typed ubuntu + 5 [04:54] I did. That's why I came in here. My impatience got the best of me. [04:54] ditch the impatience bro, and go back in and hang...somebody gotta say something [04:55] i hope that's not take personally [04:55] hello all [04:55] I'm doing just that. lol I figured it'd be quicker to talk to someone on irc than to read manpages [04:55] and figure it out. but whatever comes first. [04:55] What's the channel for asking LoCo questions?

I am really new to the system itself [04:59] I am crazy to configure a DNS server [04:59] I installed BIND9 [05:00] you're not crazy [05:00] hylian are you just trying to copy the.m? [05:00] rayvhen: Join #xubuntu for support [05:00] rayvhen: not sure, can you just plug it into USB and browse the files on it? [05:00] alexander_: find a guide for the software you want to use, in this case BIND, and ubuntu [05:00] rayvhen can windows see that like it's a drive? if you plug it into ubuntu, then does ubuntu show you a new drive? [05:00] but I have not find any tutorial [05:00] I will check the xubuntu server. Xubuntu is not showing me a new drive [05:00] pmp6nl copy who? [05:01] hylian, sorry I cant read [05:01] wrong user [05:01] are really complecated for a beginer [05:01] alexander_: are you using desktop or server? what version of ubuntu are you on? [05:01] alexander_: well this is an opportunity to learn if you don't give up [05:01] rayvhen what make of sansa player? [05:02] a server with ubuntu 9.10 [05:02] failures are how you learn [05:02] sansa sandisk 2 gig [05:02] if you're not fucking up, you're not doing it right. [05:02] DankNugs: Please mind the language, thanks [05:02] I have been looking in Internet [05:02] Sorry. [05:02] rayvhen: fuze?

[05:03] alexander_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto might help [05:03] ok, thank you hylian [05:04] we have a short network [05:04] rayvhen, no prob man. [05:04] plug it in and then restart your computer [05:04] lady.. lol [05:04] when is that? [05:04] i know i had problems with sansa on 9.10 up [05:04] Thanks Flannel I will take a look [05:04] rayvhen: You can also configure it as MSC instead of MTP, and it should just show up as bulk storage [05:04] GeekNode is a relayer that i am building from scratch in perl [05:04] rayvhen sorry, erm, dudette? i was born in the 70's, LOL [05:04] there's supposedly a fix as it's recognized improperly [05:04] So far it is working back and forth to GeekShed [05:05] question, how can I print in the terminal the return status of a binary? [05:05] I would like to get an step by step to configure on DNS [05:05] LOL hylian. Flannel. I am new to the whole Ubuntu and Xubuntu thing, so changing format on here may be a bit difficult for me. haha [05:05] rayvhen: Are you currently using MTP with it? [05:05] Joelito, echo $? [05:05] I have no idea [05:06] rayvhen: On windows, did it show up as a drive? or as some fancy media device? [05:06] rayvhen: How did you put music on it? [05:06] Joelito: echo $? [05:06] Joelito: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shell-how-to-determine-the-exit-status-of-linux-and-unix-command/ [05:06] *** topic GeekShed!#ubuntu!techhelper1: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | FAQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ | Karmic is released! http://www.ubuntu.com/download | [05:06] on windows my player showed up fine. I am dual booting ( I think thats the proper term for it) I have both windows and xubuntu on my laptop [05:06] rayvhen: mtp/msc is set in the settings of the player not ubuntu/xubuntu [05:06] techhelper1: Bots aren't welcome here. [05:06] rayvhen you should be able to keep xubuntu, and still install either of those softwares. i just mentioned that it doesnt come with xubuntu because it's gnome based (ubuntu is gnome based) [05:06] techhelper1: (please remove it) [05:07] Flannel i am sorry, but i said earlier it is a work in progress [05:07] chelz if I run my app and later use echo $_ [05:07] My USB drive just "died" (logically, it seems). When I try to mount the file system, mount tells me, I needed to specify the fs type. How do I approach a recovery? [05:07] rayvhen: That is the proper term. If it's set up as MSC, then it just shows up as bulk stoage both places, so you don't need to transfer stuff. [05:07] Thats good [05:07] and i thought i would show it here [05:07] returns the binary name file [05:07] techhelper1: Right, but "work in progress" bots aren't welcome just as "finished" ones aren't [05:07] yo [05:08] flannel, please say thet ubottu can stay, LOL he saved my bacon like 3 times with quick answers [05:08] hylian: We run ubottu ;) [05:08] Flannel thank you. Do you know if it exist in spanish [05:08] Can it stay if it relay's 1 way, and not the other [05:08] Joelito: you use "echo $?" ? [05:08] alexander_: I don't, you might ask in #ubuntu-es, they'd be more familiar [05:08] <^b0ss^> Question : how well does ubuntu work with generic webcams ? [05:08] rayvhen: both modes should work but try restarting with it plugged in. It can be a hassle but it may temporarily solve the problem and then search for fixes. I remember reading something about a fix having to do with a newer version of something but you may need to compile manually [05:08] ubottu: intinedo Espanol? [05:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:08] it relays out to 1 network and does not recieve not back here flannel [05:08] ^b0ss^: goodly or badly [05:08] techhelper1: Lets discuss this in #ubuntu-ops, it's not ontopic for this channel. [05:09] chelz ah! nop :), I was using $_ [05:09] :p [05:09] alexander_: so ... no. [05:09] thanks chelz :) [05:09] Joelito: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shell-how-to-determine-the-exit-status-of-linux-and-unix-command/ [05:09] yes i wil try Thanks for all By [05:09] !ubottu rhapsody [05:09] <^b0ss^> chelz: could you look at this .. http://arc.com.au/pub.php?pid=34873&p=product [05:09] byeç [05:09] nothing huh [05:10] ^b0ss^: best way to determine if hardware is well supported is to get a brand and model number, also some kind of PCI or USB ID that i hear exist would be good. there's hardly any info on that page so it's probably a gamble. i really don't know of your chances are good or bad. [05:10] hylian: does the music player show up as a mass storage device in Xubuntu? [05:11] My USB drive just "died" (logically, it seems). I put it directly into the PC and connected it via the internal sata cable. I'd like to re-construct the partition table and whatever might be damaged. I had no crash and suddenly i noticed the drive to be missing on my desktop. What tools are there, that could do something like searching for contents and recreate the FAT file system? (I thought, i used NTFS, but I am not sure) [05:11] <^b0ss^> ok thanks ....what about a microsoft product ? http://arc.com.au/pub.php?pid=34873&p=product [05:11] hmw: have you verified its not the cable, because if it is a recovery might have unnessecary problems too? [05:11] David-A: i put the drive into the case of the computer and connected with INTERNAL sata [05:11] mneptok some do some dont. thats why i suggested rhapsody because it "sync's" well with most players, including sansa. mine is just a big flash hard drive, so i can just drag and drop [05:11] hi every one [05:11] hmw: really make sure there's something wrong with it before messing with the fs [05:12] chelz: it wont mount anymore [05:12] chelz: not in Ubuntu nor WinXP [05:12] hylian: sorry, i see rayvhen was asking [05:12] hmw: what message do you get when you try to mount it in the terminal? (please pastebin) [05:12] hmw: and the io-error remains? ok [05:12] rayvhen: does the music player show up as a mass storage device in Xubuntu? [05:12] chelz: i must specify the file system type [05:12] mneptok no problem. i just log in now and then to try and help people. [05:12] P [05:12] hmw: what does partition editor / gparted say about it? [05:12] Thats the thing. It doesnt show up at all [05:12] David-A: there is NO IO ERROR... it must be logical [05:13] ^b0ss^: that's the same link, i think [05:13] rayvhen: what kind of player? [05:13] rayvhen even once rhapsody is going? [05:13] sansa sandisk clip [05:13] hi all, im trying to follow the myth wiki im stuck on a step. it's telling me to unmute IEC958 from alsa mixer, but i don't have that listed [05:13] rhapsody wont install [05:13] rayvhen: use the preferences in the Sansa UI to switch the player from MTP to MSC mode. [05:13] mneptok, is rhapsody gnome only? [05:14] hylian: i don;t know. i'ver never used it. [05:14] I am trying to configure psad on my karmic desktop, and I keep receiving an error regarding mail. upon further examination, /bin/mail doesn't exist. this seems wrong to me. [05:14] mneptok really? it's my favorite music player for ubuntu. [05:14] .... === ce_kuul is now known as ce_mut [05:15] ubottu !sansa [05:15] hushedfeet: scan the machine with rkhunter. It scans the /bin /usr/bin and /sbin for programs. That is a good start [05:15] your batting a thousand tonight ubottu,..

[05:16] hylian: nothing from Real will ever touch my system. [05:16] !sansa > rayvhen [05:16] hmw: if you mount with mount -t /dev/ / with correct type, does it explain why it cannot mount? [05:16] hmw: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/ [05:16] mneptok i goofed up not rhapsody, rhythymbox. i am such a moron. [05:16] David-A: chelz: i never had to, its broken. Bad Superblock stuff [05:17] when should you use mount -t auto verses mount -t ? [05:17] hmw: but do it for the message it puts out to pastebin the message it puts out [05:17] nah, i still just have mail-lock -touchlock and -unlock [05:17] http://pastebin.com/ADCfLjtZ [05:17] DankNugs: when it's time, you will know [05:17] switched it to msc mode [05:17] i told you, standard blahblah i dont want this disk anymore [05:18] hmw: have you verified that /dev/sdXX is the same device/partition as when it was external? was it the whole disk (sdX) or a partition (sdXY)? [05:18] rayvhen now when you replug it back in does xubuntu recognize a new flash drive? [05:19] there is only this one disk, with one large partition. the other drive is the USB stick, i used to boot (because i can only put in one HDD internally, the system disk is not active now) [05:19] yes it does hylian [05:19] hmw, what "dmesg | tail" says? [05:19] you are awesome :) [05:19] ed2ef: nothing, i would have noticed as important. do you want me to grep for something special? [05:19] thanks a bunch :) [05:20] rayvhen actually that one belongs to mneptok, but thanx anywayz. [05:20] rayvhen im sure you know the rest, time for some drag and drop action [05:20] oops sry [05:20] Thank you Mneptok. you are freakin awesome [05:20] having problems using wine, when i launch a Risk program it starts the splash screen then crashes, giving me the website for reporting bugs. any ideas, thanks [05:20] oh yeah. lots of drag and drop action. lol [05:20] hmw, can u use the mount command, them copy the output of "dmesg | tail" ? [05:21] guest67032 what version of wine? wine 1.x or 1.2/ [05:21] hmw: re. recovery programs. have you an equally large space on another disk to make a binary copy? (the copy will probably have same superblockerror) [05:22] FAT: bogus sectors per cluster 0. \n VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem on dev sda1. -- doesnt look like IO error to me. This looks like a logical error, doesnt it? [05:23] hmw: there is also programs that recognize jpeg and other file formats and recovers them of a damaged disk (dont expect 100% recovery that way) [05:23] appdb > Guest67032 [05:23] !appdb [05:23] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [05:23] * mneptok is many things. "freakin' awesome" probably not among them.

[05:23] David-A: i have a backup of the most important files. More importantly, how can I prevent this from happening again? What did actually happen? [05:23] xangua i think he/she is gone [05:24] ed2ef: i think i used NTFS, but I am not sure. [05:24] Where's the "Open With..." directory in home? [05:24] hmw: you dont remember? [05:24] bye all time for sleep [05:24] hmw: try mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt(or other mount point) [05:24] geekphreak: right. I formatted it a few months ago, and I can't imagine to have used FAT. [05:25] chelz: the mail logfiles even exist... they're just blank [05:25] ed2ef: http://pastebin.com/qK6qvgj0 http://pastebin.com/ADCfLjtZ [05:26] guess i will have to dig through 24 hours of log file :/ [05:26] crucialhoax: doesn't find it [05:26] hints, what I should be grepping for, if i wanted to find out, why the drive crashed? [05:26] hmw, but you use vfat on type?Or just put auto? [05:27] hmw, your partition is a fat 32 dude, something is really wrong [05:27] ed2ef: i strongly doubt, that i formatted fat 32... i think, some program is crying for mama [05:27] hmw: what happend? one theory, if the cable was to long, maybe some bits were written wrong, and now when reading with a good cable, its still wrong on the disk. just an idea. [05:28] David-A: i would like to verify this. What would I see in the logs, if your theory applies? [05:28] hmw, idk, i never see fdisk confuse the partition type [05:29] hmw: it seems unlikely that all superblock went wrong thou. there should be lots of redundancy. [05:29] hmw: what does sudo cfdisk show partition type? [05:29] hmw, when you try "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt" it still can't mount? [05:29] hmw: what does fsck say? [05:29] geekphreak: it tells me, the MBR is messed up heavily [05:29] mbr? [05:30] ed2ef: http://pastebin.com/ADCfLjtZ [05:30] hushedfeet: Well that is odd. Does it recognize that as a rootkit? [05:30] well, the MBR was my interpretation. cfdisk said: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder" [05:31] hmw: you got some issues going there , good luck :) [05:31] i could try to recalculate the MBR things manually... but i dont want to [05:31] hmw, i already saw that paste, what was the command used on this paste? [05:31] Is there a program/driver for usb xbox360 controllers? [05:31] ed2ef: the one you suggtested mount vfat etcv [05:31] damn === jonny_ is now known as Guest68141 [05:32] well... if you don't have suggestions, what I should be grepping for, I think, you won't be able to help much further. Thanks for your time anyhow. [05:32] hmw, did your already tried "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt" ?

[05:39] !medibuntu | Daemonic [05:39] Daemonic: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:39] http://pastebin.com/AQJQcE7J - means NTFS? [05:40] wooo i fixed it [05:40] hmw: the man page of mount lists about 30 fs types you can test if you like. mount read only (option "-o ro") in case a type think it is right but not quite and writes back somthing wrong. [05:40] is there any way to use a remote screen session in X? and have gui tabs for each "screen" still? [05:40] hushedfeet: what was it? [05:40] why isn't there a partimage package for amd64 lucid? [05:41] bp0: #ubuntu+1 [05:41] foolish typo in conf [05:41] got psad up now too! [05:41] David-A: i am pretty sure, i used NTFS, because I always do with my data partitions. Only NTFS, ext{3|4} and FAT32 might be possible, that's for sure. [05:42] does ubuntu version 9.10 include DirectShow (DX7) ? [05:42] hmw: dd it then run gpart over the dd'd img [05:42] in ro [05:43] Guest67032: that's more a question, if wine does include that. Ubuntu does NOT come with wine installed by default. Try winetricks to get DX installed, after you installed wine. [05:43] !wine | Guest67032 [05:43] Guest67032: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:43] thanks, ok [05:43] hmw: ok, quite few to try then, and have you tried mount both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1? (assuming its the 2nd disk) [05:44] chelz: lol... hm... i'd love to, but... 1TB --> 250GB wont work, i fear. I will look closer to my logs later, and after that will try to run gpart on the original drive due to lack of hardware. [05:44] Hey all, I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.10 today (netbook remix) and just had a question about .run files, if anyone has a moment to help. [05:44] polydeuces: what seems to be the problem? [05:45] Is there a program I can use with ubuntu, to make a full disk backup including the MBR incase of a hard disk failure? [05:46] Hello, I can't figure out what happened. I get - ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted, when ping, also, my internet seems to be completley blocked. I figure that it's a firewall, but how do I revert it to default, so that my internet works again? [05:46] !backup | Dead_Pixel [05:46] Dead_Pixel: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:46] Dead_Pixel: lol... they just told me to use: dd ("disk dupe") [05:46] inglor: in the instructions I was to change permission to run it as an executable, which I did. this program (a game called Dofus) requires adobeAir, which I installed as well (seemingly successfully) though when I attempt to run the .run install file, the terminal comes up for a split second, vanishes, and nothing happens. [05:47] polydeuces: you can run it from terminal and see what happens, you can either tag the "run in terminal" option or open the terminal yourself and type ./yourfilename.run and see what happens [05:47] I wouldn't mess with permissions at first anyway [05:47] hmw, is there something that would make an image or something to restore to that includes the partitions and mbr and everything instead of... duplicating the disk onto another disk? [05:48] inglor: it was mentioned specifically in the instructions given by the company. I tried what you said earlier, there was an error message last time I tried. I'll see if I can show it to you. [05:48] Dead_Pixel: get partimage [05:48] Ummm, I kinda uninstalled a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have, now mplayer and glxinfo segfault.... Anyone know what I uninstalled? [05:48] Dead_Pixel: either use an Ubuntu USB thumb drive with partimage or get "clonezilla" live cd [05:48] ok, so medibuntu gone? [05:48] is* [05:49] hmw ok thanks [05:49] Daemonic, not gone, but temporarily unavailable [05:49] wow that really sucks. [05:50] Daemonic, i agree - see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/565810 [05:50] stealth: there is a history of whats done in synaptic package manager. if you apt-get removed i dont know. there is .bash_history if not too long ago and sudo should have a log, but dont know where and if enabeled by default [05:50] inglor: Do you know what this means? Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: 8107f5f88b8d807b9f5d3ca11477271f is different from ec01f5c68bf3feb7fa0b00cfe951bb7b [05:50] any decent script/program to convert dts to ac3 in mkvs? [05:51] aften always reports a buffer error [05:51] Hello, I can't figure out what happened. I get - ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted, when ping, also, my internet seems to be completley blocked. How do I revert it to default, so that my internet works again? [05:51] polydeuces: an MD5 checksum is your program's digital isgnature, since it has a different signature it is assuming it is corrupt [05:51] Well that's no good! [05:51] Hi, my ubuntu doesn't work can someone help me [05:51] polydeuces: yep, and it also means the problem is not with ubuntu, it's with the install file [05:52] !ask [05:52] 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. :-) [05:52] There are plenty of other Linux/Ubuntu users playing this game... I'm not sure where to get the file, then. [05:52] Any suggestions? [05:52] Why does my ubuntu look like Windows? [05:52] polydeuces: if you want a "dirty" hack around this I can help you, but it's not good education [05:52] plasma, what do you mean? [05:52] what file system is better for handling relatively large files? I'm doing a data-only partition in which I'll put my music/movies, and I sometimes get 5 or 10 GB movies in 1 file [05:52] Plasmastar: what do you mean? [05:52] It looks like Windows not Ubuntu [05:52] Inglor: LOL. How do you mean? And what would be 'good' education? ;) [05:53] polydeuces: good education is working md5 sums, bad education means open the file with text editor (gedit) [05:53] plasmator what does look like windows? [05:53] hdd + clonezilla = Long Time Crunch [05:53] the desktop/ [05:53] the whole thing looks like windows [05:53] I need to run SpinRite [05:53] polydeuces: then go to the line that says MD5 = and change it to 8107f5f88b8d807b9f5d3ca11477271f is [05:53] maybe you booted into windows [05:54] perhaps you did boot to windows, plasmator [05:54] Hm, I'll give it a shot. Thanks inglor! [05:54] it even says 'starting windows' [05:54] I'll let you know how it goes. [05:54] you are booting windows [05:54] polydeuces: "8107f5f88b8d807b9f5d3ca11477271f" which is what it outputted, like I said, this is a BAD solution, at least try fetching the file again and see one more time if it works [05:54] plasmator: Dude, you are in windows... No worries here. :) [05:54] Starting Windows = Windows 7 [05:54] but I installed ubuntu [05:54] polydeuces: bad MD5 sum usually means a problem in downloading the file [05:54] I'll try downloading again, first, then. [05:54] did you install the bootloader that came with it [05:54] or is that auto now [05:55] what is a bootloader [05:55] if you installed it in addition to windows you have to install the bootloader too [05:55] polydeuces: Try redownloading the file and check it again. [05:55] i installed ubuntu [05:55] it said it worked [05:55] techhelper1: since when was Ubuntu NOT installing Grub or Grub 2? [05:55] plasmator: did you install ubuntu ALONGSIDE windows or INSTEAD OF windows? [05:55] plasmator a bootloader manages the 2 installs [05:55] meaning you should have the option to choose between the 2 [05:55] plasmator https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [05:55] it gave me a window saying it worked when I installed it though [05:56] I never got a choice [05:56] plasmator, did you install ubuntu from within windows by any chance? [05:56] when it boots up does it give you the option to push Esc and a countdown [05:56] inglor: When I try running in terminal, it says "Permission denied." Is there a better way around it than going into properties and manually giving permission? [05:56] it doesn't give me any options it just says starting windows [05:57] polydeuces: sudo [05:57] !sudo [05:57] sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [05:57] and if it's a graphical game use gksudo instead [05:57] then you need to install the boot loader, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [05:57] does ubuntu support magicjack? [05:57] I did install it from inside windows [05:57] polydeuces: that makes you run it as the superuser having ''almost'' all permissions [05:57] Firefox specifically [05:58] okay, I think it's just an install file, though. so do I just do sudo ./DofusInstall.run ? [05:58] plasmator, that means you installed wubi and that makes sense [05:58] what is wubi, I think my kid watches that on nickelodeon [05:58] did you run wubi? [05:58] oh wait that's wubsy [05:58] polydeuces, that should work if I recall, you can also sh ./stuff.run [05:58] !wubi | plasmator [05:58] plasmator: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:58] I didn't see anything that said wubi [05:58] Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks Inglor! I'll keep you posted. [05:58] Successfully installed Ubuntu 9.10 here, thank you all! [05:58] wubi sets up the boatloader though [05:58] !vm [05:58] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:59] polydeuces: sure [05:59] plasmator how did you install ubuntu? [05:59] !vm | plasmator [05:59] plasmator: please see above [05:59] I clicked on ubuntu [05:59] duh [05:59] and then? [05:59] where did you click on ubuntu? [05:59] did you run it from a cd? [05:59] MrGoodkat, but I believe that it keeps windows as the default OS meaning when you boot you have to notice ubuntu and choose it [05:59] no from the internet [05:59] plasmator did you run wubi or boot from a cd [05:59] how do you install ubuntu from the internet? [05:59] wubi meaning did you install it from windows [06:00] you probably only downloaded it [06:00] MrGoodkat: Netboot [06:00] I clicked ubuntu and it said it worked [06:00] Hm, inglor: I'm still getting an error on the checksums. [06:00] which let's you download and install using the internet [06:00] well did it say that in windows or on the cd, Plasmastar [06:00] techhelper1 netboot doesnt let you install ubuntu via firefox afaik [06:01] why would the cd say something I had no cd [06:01] polydeuces, ok, then I guess you can try opening the file with gedit and changing the checksum yourself, maybe they updated the game and forgot to update the checksum [06:01] that is true [06:01] Okay, sounds good. What did you say to change it to? The output? [06:01] plasmator do you have the link you clicked? [06:01] yes [06:01] what is that [06:01] ubuntu [06:01] can you post the link here please [06:01] ... [06:01] what did you download exactly [06:02] post that link [06:02] Ubuntu Home Page [06:02] polydeuces: try that, it might or might not work depending what the MD5 check is comparing to [06:02] change is coming [06:02] that only downloads ubuntu [06:02] Will do, thanks again. [06:02] it doesnt install it [06:02] But it said it was successful [06:02] the download was probably successful [06:02] It said ubuntu successful [06:03] that page allows you to download an image which you have to burn on cd [06:03] why do you make it so hard to install ubuntu [06:03] Hm, inglor: when I try to open it in gedit, I get this error message. gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. [06:03] Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. [06:03] Select a character coding from the menu and try again. [06:03] it even did say it there [06:03] should I try restarting again [06:03] 1. Download Ubuntu 2. Burn your Ubuntu Cd 3. Install Ubuntu [06:03] polydeuces, you ARE trying to open a binary file :) hmm, any other editor should work [06:03] you should burn the image you downloaded to a cd [06:04] ah, I see. Thanks :) [06:04] and then boot your computer with the cd [06:04] burn? [06:04] polydeuces: the thing is I looked at the installer and it's part bash and part compiled [06:04] That doesn't sound nice [06:04] say Hmm... So what does that mean? [06:04] how do i burn images to cds [06:05] the ubottu link for rescuing files seems to be quite excellent! thanks! With a little luck I could even get my data back :) [06:05] plasmator, verify what ISO you are downloading - i DO NOT recommend you install 10.04 (the Change is Coming link), use stable 9.10 instead [06:05] polydeuces: that you can open and edit the bash part of it [06:05] what is ISO [06:05] In Search Of? [06:05] plasmator if you are on windows use "nero" [06:05] I see. Is there a specific editor I should be using? [06:05] hero? [06:05] oh nero [06:05] what is nero [06:05] gconf should work but any other editor should work as well [06:05] a program that allows you to burn ubuntu on a cd [06:05] why does ubuntu just not do that though [06:06] maybe you should stay with windows though ;) [06:06] ubuntu does that too [06:06] are you patronizing me mrgoodkat [06:06] Okay, I'll give that a go [06:06] but you dont have ubuntu installed yet [06:06] plasmator, I suggest that you get help from your local ubuntu community, ubuntu is not hard to use for people with computing experience, but if you don't know computing basics [06:06] so you have to go with what windows offers [06:06] Zen. tyvm. My system is up and running again. [06:07] where do i find my 'local ubuntu community' is there a secret handshake or something [06:07] plasmator, I'm sure your local community can guide you through the installation process and can probably help you get used to ubuntu. you'll probably even find it easier to use eventually [06:07] a nice burning program for windows is "Deep Burner PORTABLE" to be downloaded from www.portableapps.com [06:07] plasmator, well if you tell us where you live we can find it for you, or you can use the internet [06:07] And thanks to the others that helped as well. [06:07] the internet has been no help thus far, it told me ubuntu successful even though it apparently wasn't [06:07] plasmator https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList [06:07] kman: how did it go? [06:07] a list of the communities [06:08] kman: good news :) [06:08] hi [06:08] i have problem with ubuntu 9.1 [06:08] !ask | numan [06:08] numan: 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. :-) [06:08] hmw, use infrarecorder [06:08] Hey inglor, where can I get gconf? [06:08] inglor just wait, im writing^^ [06:08] What is with the community thing [06:08] I ran the sue apt-get update. this game me an error but a suggestion to run another apt-get command. Ran it and voila I'm back up and running. [06:08] polydeuces: gedit I meant -_- [06:08] is Ubuntu some communist thing? [06:09] plasmator: Stick with Windows. That toy is tainted for terrible trolls. [06:09] yes [06:09] when i watch a movie or listen to musik on x, sound is very bad [06:09] Oh, I can't open it via gedit for some reason. Is there something I have to do? [06:09] but when i switch to shell, sound is good, but still running in x [06:09] * sinistrad smells a troll [06:09] plasmator you forgot to install the bootloader that was all [06:09] it is an nforce4 board with enabled 5.1 sound [06:09] Thanks geek. Now it;s time for bed. [06:09] i use pulseaudio [06:09] kman: great [06:09] techhelper1 it sounds like he only downloaded it [06:09] where could be the problem? [06:09] he said he didnt burn a cd [06:10] together we stand; divided we fall. communist = good. poor troll. [06:10] did get get a iso file [06:10] Have a good night. you guys are great. [06:10] on his computer [06:10] maybe gedit is just being annoying, try to open it with vi [06:10] vi? [06:10] sorry guys, I couldn't resist. :) [06:10] plasmator, you should've at least been funnier [06:10] polydeuces: Use nano instead. It is more *comfortable* for beginners. [06:10] numen have you tried to kill pulseaudio before you start the music? [06:10] * plasmator has been using Linux for 15 years :P [06:10] yeah, I guess nano is easier [06:10] Okay, I'll give it a shot [06:11] those illegal communist operating hacker systems will crush civilization, beware! [06:11] inglor: Yeah but there's that fine line between funny and unbelievable [06:11] vi > yuo [06:11] MrGoodkat then i have no sound [06:11] If the communist thing would have taken off, it would have been good [06:11] numen pulseaudio restarts on its own [06:11] you mean with pulseauido -k ? [06:11] red2kic, is it NEdit? [06:12] plasmator: trolling is always failing. find a better hobby. Perhaps build your own Linux? www.linuxfromscratch.org [06:12] killall pulseaudio should do it [06:12] polydeuces: nano. If you want GUI, use gedit. I like geany myself. :3 [06:12] hmw: been there done that man [06:12] do it again :) [06:12] where do I get these? [06:12] before linuxfromscratch.org was around, even :) [06:12] do I just sudo apt-get install ? [06:12] MrGoodkat the strange thing is, that sound becomes good, when i switch to shell [06:13] eh, some trolls are bad but mine was all in good fun [06:13] plasmator: well.. in this case, try to send some positive karma waves into my hard drive in order to get it revived. [06:13] polydeuces: Meh. I only offered you an alternative. I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do this -- "gedit /name/of/file/troll.txt" or something similar. [06:13] what's up with your hdd, hmw? [06:13] if you're in root shell no need for sudo [06:13] polydeuces: you just type sudo nano yourfile.run [06:13] plasmator: it died for apparently no reason. [06:13] what brand? [06:13] it's a text line editor, looks old but because it is old it is stupid :P [06:14] maxtor. not a hardware failure, it seems. [06:14] hi, for some reason whenever i use xsetbg it puts up the image. but then when i reboot the image goes away, does anyone know why it does that? i'm running ion3 on 9.10 minimal install [06:14] Ah, THERE we go [06:14] maxtor is one to steer clear of, how are you defining hardware failure? [06:15] plasmator: it doesnt show IO errors. Perhaps a bad cable or something, but not really "damaged"... scanning it right now, in hope of getting the partition back [06:15] hmw: By the way, hard drives are the most instable computing device in the machines. That's why servers regularly make backups. [06:15] yeah, hard drives are just so unreliable -_- [06:16] HDDs and Power supplies are the most likely to fail, moving parts. [06:16] too bad there are some upsides to flash :/ [06:16] why not use ssds? [06:16] hmw: You just lost partition and that was it? [06:16] plasmator: thing is you can get good power supplies that rarely fail but good hdds also fail pretty bad -_- [06:16] inglor: true [06:17] red2kic: last time i actually lost data was on my 486 with a 800 MB HD. THis time I only lost a lot of videos. I know that I want to do backup regularly. plasmator: i suddenly noticed, that some bookmarks had disappeared and then I found my drive in a deep identity crisis. [06:17] inglor: once I'm done editing the file in nano, how do I save/exit? [06:17] polydeuces: ctrl+x to exit [06:18] ctl+x [06:18] first day using, I accidentally removed the equivalent of the "system tray" [06:18] hmw: i've used testdidk,not infallable but works a lot [06:18] hmw: well when you replace it, try seagate or hitachi ultrastar. Seagate had issues last year but they're still among the best. [06:18] how do I get it back on the panel? [06:18] polydeuces: press CTRL+X (eXit) then Y ("Yes, write") and ENTER. Look at the bootom of your screen to understand the menu. [06:18] hmw: sorry typo testdisk [06:18] Got it, thanks! [06:18] polydeuces: well, does it install? [06:19] inglor: don't know yet, trying in a moment [06:19] hmw: my harddrives usually lives 1-5 years. currently have maxtor that have worked well for more than 3 years now. [06:19] nomad77: i am running gpart right now. perhaps i'll try the other programs, too. GOt a nice link from ubottu to a nice page with fool-proof instructions. [06:19] WXZ, the top or bottom panel? [06:19] !ot [06:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:19] i think, on harddisks, the manufacturer is not the most important [06:19] each one has bad series [06:20] aetaric is right, we're getting off-topic. [06:20] !panels | WXZ [06:20] WXZ: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:20] Hmm, inglor: it seems to have compromised the .run filetype once I did that [06:21] I tried 'sh ./stuff.run' and it called me stupid. [06:21] polydeuces: what error? [06:21] anyone used gpart to find "lost" partitions before? I would have expected almost immediate results, since there is (was) only one partition on the drive - or will it show the result only after scanning the whole drive? [06:21] LOL. [06:21] Hang on. [06:21] sh: can't open DofusInstall.run [06:21] !recovery | hmw [06:21] hmw: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [06:21] hmw: Meh. That is not it. [06:22] any way to convert dts to ac3 in mkvs? would be great if it were a one step script or program [06:22] hmw, use cfdis [06:22] *cfdisk [06:22] and not many steps [06:22] once I saved it, it changed the filetype to DofusInstall.run.save and I think it messed it up. [06:22] !undelete | hmw [06:22] hmw: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [06:22] can someone point me to a list of what packages to remove to remove gnome? I don't have a server CD handy and I need to strip down my system for quick running on virtualbox [06:22] polydeuces: so rename it and then run it :P [06:23] hmw: if you give it a range it'll work faster [06:23] red2kic: this page does not answer my question, it only gives instructions on how to use it. I want to know, if I should let it run for hours or if I already could deduce, that it wont work [06:23] I did, it didn't work. [06:23] It wouldn't even let me change the permissions on it [06:23] proq: do you still need X? [06:23] proq: "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" --- That would be a good start. [06:24] proq: because if you dont then you can just remove the X server and this will drop ubuntu back to cli, perhaps installing the server version or the mini iso's might also be a good idea if you want a lean ubuntu [06:24] polydeuces: the thing is the script is made with Makeself, if you had the sourcecode you could compile it nicely yourself, but since it is 2 files combined I'm not really sure [06:25] hmw: The best bet is to dd your "damaged" partition/hdd to external HDD or such. Then you could run any tests on it. You're just copying the hard drive (binaries) in a nutshell. [06:25] Hm, I think I understand. I'll see if I can hunt around on the forums for a solution. [06:25] thanks for all your helpful advice, though :) [06:25] what you get is the "Error in MD5 checksums: $md5sum is different from $md5" [06:25] hi, is there a way to set separate wallpapers on a streched desktop? (2 monitors having different resolution) [06:25] red2kic: Nope. 1TB --> 250 GB situation. Thanks, though. [06:26] sobczyk: Use GIMP to combine images? :( [06:26] polydeuces: see, I think that what's messing with it is the documentation they added themselves :P [06:26] red2kic, I hoped someone wrote a siple ap :( [06:26] sobczyk: not without heavy tweaking of gnome/nautilus (perhaps compiling stuff on your own) [06:26] inglor: how do you mean? they intentionally make it not work? [06:26] polydeuces: you can always run it under wine if you want [06:27] sobczyk: perhaps you can find a way to get the wallpaper stretch over 2 screens and make an accordingly larger one [06:27] polydeuces: not intentionally, by mistake... [06:27] hmw: "sudo blkid" -- See if it recognize the filesystem (at least). [06:27] and is there a way to read both monitors setup? (x, y coordinates and width height) [06:27] polydeuces: if you don't want to mess with it too much you can always run it under wine [06:27] inglor: I haven't used wine yet, would I have to do it every time? [06:27] polydeuces: all wine does is translate directX and win32 commands to openGL , so it doesn't slow stuff [06:27] it would be possible to write a scipr using imagemgic to combine 2 wallpapers, if monitor position data could be obtained [06:28] sobczyk: Write a script. :) Personally, I find GIMP nice and easy to use. [06:28] it lets you run windows apps on linux without an emulator [06:28] hmw: if you use a rescue program that finds and copies individual files, will they fit in 250GB? (that is was the 1TB less than 25% full?) [06:28] (hence the name... Wine Is Not an Emulator) [06:28] lol. no. it was like 95% full... [06:28] Oh, neato. Hm, perhaps I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the advice! [06:29] i alredy swallowed the loss. just trying, perhaps I get lucky. [06:29] Does anyone know why I cant download " tor tor-geoipdb" using the co'?mmand 'sudo apt-get install tor-geoipdb [06:29] polydeuces: just installed your dofus game in wine to see if it works and it works perfectly [06:29] sobczyk: I don't know the correct way to retrieve x,y,blah,blah but "xrandr | grep \*" could do it. I'm not sure about the second monitor (or even if it's showing up in xrandr too). [06:29] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3395 [06:30] hmw: so not much you can do until you have a new big disk? (unless you find a safe method of fixing faulty disk) [06:30] any ops around want to help out in ##windows please? [06:30] madman loose [06:30] no ops available [06:30] m00se: See #freenode for support. [06:30] I have - in there now - no one awake === zch3 is now known as znxtch [06:31] hmw: i've restored partition tables before with testdisk. but ymmv [06:31] red2kic, ok i see xrandr displays "LCD connected 1600x900+0+0" and "CRT1 connected 1680x1050+1600+22" so it's easy to filter out the positions [06:31] good to know! thanks! [06:31] I used terminal to apt-get install wine, is that going to work OK? [06:31] red2kic, thx [06:31] polydeuces: might :) lemme check something else [06:32] polydeuces: yep, should [06:32] Could anyone help me with the installation of Tor? [06:32] awesome, thanks! [06:34] boblemur: yes, thanks. I need X and I will be running ratpoison [06:35] hmw: 95% full means there might be fragmentation, so rescue programs that finds individual files has less chans of finding all files. [06:36] hmw: NTFS? [06:36] David-A: since I only collected movies and didnt move/delete much stuff, i doubt it will be fragmented massively. NTFS. [06:38] hmw: You're a good person. Making legal backup of your shiny movies you bought. Also, NTFS = Fragmentation. One of the good ways to corrupt the partition is to max out the hard drive. Just because you have 1TB does not mean you have 1TB... Very much less. [06:39] How come the tutorial for setting up polymer theme on ubuntuforums.com doesn't match the qt config program? [06:39] red2kic: indeed, i own most of the movies. I always rip them to divx after i found a cheap DVD in the store and never use the DVDs to watch them. sic! [06:39] what is preferred apt or aptitude? [06:39] putting in disks is so stone age [06:39] does anyone know how to look at files on a cd using ubuntu on a sun virtual box? [06:40] spat: (assuming you mean apt-get) In Ubuntu, it shouldn't matter. Use whichever you prefer. [06:40] hmw: i must go and rest. the robots first link, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery , seems to me to have good info. hope it works out well for you. [06:40] spat: It is more of preferences. apt or aptitude or synapthic or Ubuntu Software Center -- They all will get the job done. [06:40] spat: apt and aptitude are cool for the command line, aptitude also has some UI [06:40] i know it's a stupid question [06:40] David-A thanks. Good night! [06:40] hmw: I'm a server admin,,, [06:41] spat: it is a matter of taste, i'd say. Aptitude might make finding stuff easier, but you'd need to know the shortcuts. [06:41] hmw: as long as they both work consistend and reliable [06:41] hmw: youre welcome, byebye [06:41] Do the developers leave any part of Gnome/KDE alone... [06:42] I keep finding all kinds of customizations within K/Ubuntu.. [06:43] hmw: Never had a problem learning shortcuts for a command often used. will give aptitude a try. Thank you [06:43] spat: i guess you will like aptitude. I prefer apt for my scripts for no real reason. [06:45] hi [06:45] !hi | Alcor [06:45] Alcor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[06:52] I bet if I got some people together to write a system like Ubuntu, without all the patches overriding Qt, and GTK stuff I could make a lot of money [06:53] Or, can you just write modifications which would change all of the patches so the Ubuntu changes don't matter?

[06:56] I have a problem with the subversion guide for ubuntu [06:56] i just hooked up my gigabit switch to my ubuntu server and a dns323, i'm using rsync to copy files from the dns323 to my server but i'm only getting 10 MB/s, is this normal? [06:56] mneptok: thank you [06:57] tomato: 1GB/s is the maximum throughput. you will likely never actually get data going that fast [06:58] Alcor: maybe #linux-security if one exists [06:58] hmv: can you help me? === Zerp64 is now known as Popetooth [06:58] !ask | chripher [06:58] chripher: 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).

I'm only getting 10 MB/s so I'm wondering if i'm not configuring something correctly [07:02] aetaric: thanks, i'm also using cat5 cables instead of cat6, could that be it? [07:02] oh, wow, didnt know about that one, shazbotmcnasty. I was just thinking of that youtub vid "samsung ssd awesomeness"... [07:02] well you can google raptor, I just got an ad from newegg a few days ago for that hdd [07:03] tomato: it is only in the standard, you could use cat3 really, they just want you to use cat6. [07:03] it has "better quality wires" [07:03] gotcha, thanks [07:03] chripher: what are you using to host your svn? and what is the message it gives you (if its not too long to paste that is) [07:04] localhost and I do not get any error it just asks again and again [07:04] aetaric so it's normal to get 10 megabytes per second instead of 100 megabytes per second? i was hoping for something around the middle, like 50 megabytes per second [07:04] tomato: as a side note, i've never seen 1GB/s on my network and it is all Cisco catalyst equiptment. [07:04] chripher: so why are you using http:// to connect to localhost? you can just use svn co /path/to/svn/repo [07:05] tomato: well how many hosts are there on the switch? [07:05] yeah, i understand i won't be getting 100 megabytes per second, but i was hoping for half that [07:05] only 2, my nas (dns323) and my ubuntu server [07:05] tomato: both have gigabit cards? [07:05] boblemur: I plan to setup svn on another server but I use localhost now [07:05] yeah, server has gigabit onboard (not sure if its any good) and the dns323 has it onboard too [07:06] I like tunafish [07:06] chripher: ok, well will you have ssh for that server? [07:06] tomato: not sure, it could just be that one of the systems has a high load. [07:07] chripher: cause if you do... try svn+ssh://localhost/path/to/svn/repo [07:07] aetaric: okay thanks, that might be it, the dns323 is just a nas, might be overloaded [07:08] tomato: no problem, glad i could put my CCNA to use for once. [07:09] aetaric: Sorry to interrupt. I simply overheard it. How hard was it to obtain CCNA? [07:09] boblemur: port refused [07:09] chripher: do you have ssh installed? [07:10] TomG: not really hard. i got it in high school... === zilla1000 is now known as zilla8000 [07:10] boblemur: no at the moment I want http to work [07:10] aetaric: That's a bit reassuring. Thank you for the answer. [07:10] though the requirements change over time [07:11] I think that matter for > CCNA [07:11] boblemur: what does htpasswd2 means it says in the guide "It prompts you to enter the password. You must enter the password configured using htpasswd2 command. [07:11] TomG: no problem. i failed the exam the first time though... [07:11] chripher: have you installed a webserver? [07:11] boblemur: "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion" the guide I use [07:11] boblemur: yes [07:11] subnetting should be burned with a *VERY* hot fire [07:12] chripher:ok so where abouts are you upto? [07:12] aetaric: isnt subnetting what allowed ipv4 to last so long? [07:12] that and NAT [07:13] boblemur: cat /etc/subversion/passwd givs me user_name:cj7E6cw77X8W6 [07:13] clarkb: Do you think ipv4 should have lasted this long? [07:13] hello, I use ubuntu 9.10, I've installed Amarok 2 but when I play the songs I can't hear anything, any clue? [07:13] clarkb: yes. but you have to subnet on the CCNA test, without a calc [07:13] aetaric: its easy [07:13] powers of two [07:13] chripher: where in the guide did you get upto? [07:14] how can I increase the font size on IM Empathy? [07:14] boblemur: just before Access via WebDAV protocol with SSL encryption (https://) [07:14] TomG: good point [07:14] clarkb: yeah now do it on ipv6. :) [07:14] oh wait, you don't have to... <3 ipv6 [07:14] chripher: have u tried using file:/// ? [07:15] boblemur: yes it works [07:15] chripher: ok and have you configured webdav? [07:16] chripher: Access via WebDAV protocol (http://) have you done this section??? [07:16] tomg: does your sound work anywhere else? [07:16] TomG: i recommend you visit http://cisco.netacad.net and find an academy. [07:16] sorry wrong person [07:16] I was about to say [07:16] gonzalo: does your sound work anywhere else [07:16] I know this is Ubuntu, but no one in Kubuntu will respond..QtConfig is missing Library Path rab..where did it go? [07:17] boblemur: yes I used the second conf from the guide [07:17] xiven: qtconifg? what is this? [07:17] QtConfig [07:17] Thank you aetaric. I have been interested in certifications [07:17] Ubuntu Certifications????? [07:17] chripher: do you mean this??? Access via WebDAV protocol with SSL encryption (https://) [07:17] TomG: no problem. i have a few in M$ too [07:17] xiven: Now we're talking :P [07:18] I didn't know there were any [07:18] there are [07:18] There are [07:18] hello, is there a room for help with Wine that i could join? [07:18] Plus, I don't take cert tests that are free [07:18] #wine isn't it [07:18] ubuntu's cert test isn't free [07:18] xiven: #wine is empty [07:18] Yeah, not many cert tests are [07:18] boblemur: I want to get it to work as above that title eg without ssl first [07:18] Anyone certified Ubuntu? [07:18] $wine-hq [07:18] TomG: you can get ipv6 certified from ipv6.he.net too [07:19] chripher: ok so does going to localhost:80 in your broweser work? [07:19] Too many certs. I get overwhelmed thinking about it [07:19] Heh...there isn't many certifications at all for Web Designers. [07:19] I wouldn't mind becoming Java and PHP certified, but it costs too much [07:19] Really? [07:19] I thought there were tons [07:19] boblemur: It works! [07:19] wow. we are all WAY off topic. and it's all my fault. XD [07:19] I haven't found many [07:20] Not by well known companies anyway [07:20] Yeah, we're off topic. And it's late here [07:20] I better get going for the night [07:20] it is early here..... 2:20 AM [07:20] Eastern, like me [07:20] Ohio [07:20] Georgia [07:21] Aww, I was hoping for you to say Ohio too, then I could have asked for a job :P [07:21] chripher: ok so that page is ok, it means your apache is up, so you run the htpassword command? [07:21] TomG: i'm unemployed... [07:21] That's even worse [07:21] Now there's no way I can sleep [07:21] all those certs. and no job. [07:22] boblemur: yeap I did [07:22] Anyone here able to help me with a problem I'm having with Wine? [07:22] dont know until you ask [07:22] takumidesh: its best to just say the problem :) [07:22] A problem with Wine? Who ever heard of such a thing? [07:22] boblemur: I see the crypted pass when I cat the file [07:22] chripher: and did you add yourself to the svn group? [07:23] boblemur: yes I think so they told me so first thing in the guide don't they [07:23] the problem is your using svn and not git :P [07:23] i'd really like it if my magsafe would magically start providing the full 85w again [07:23] chripher: did you log out and log back in?

Pay is not bad either [07:27] clarkb: For some reason when i install from the disc it tells me to insert a non-existent disc 2. [07:27] blkperl: you might just be my new hero. and if AT&T hires me, Alcor might take your place. [07:27] heh [07:27] takumidesh: Yes, that happens with half the games under wine. They want disks that don't exist [07:27] chripher: i suggest you open another terminal window... and run "tail -f /var/log/apache" and then try and login and see if any new messages appear [07:27] boblemur: access.log ? [07:27] blkperl: that is a no go. it isn't integrated.

[07:31] aetaric: just use git via the command line, it will still work with xcode, just means you have to use the terminal :P [07:32] chripher: ok ill reply there [07:32] does somebody use Listen media player? is it necessary to install something additional in order to wikipedia and lyrics to work?

[07:33] blkperl: there are some things you'll want to change in your git config to have certain files treated as binary (xibs, for instance, and the project file) otherwise resolving conflicts is a total PITA [07:33] eww cvs [07:34] i makeing a new OS for Linux what do you all think sould be on it [07:34] i dislike cvs as well [07:34] steven__: you mean a distro?

[07:36] ZykoticK9, aetaric I can't join that channel, /join returns chennel unavailable [07:36] So I had an install of 8.04, that I've upgraded using the tool to 9.10. Now, I'm unable to use mplayer to convert ac3 audio to wav [07:36] napster: Works here... [07:36] napster, /join #ubuntu+1 [07:37] steven__: what? [07:37] theadmin, ZykoticK9 Huh, now it works... Sorry for the trouble... [07:37] napster: works for me. maybe you got banned? [07:37] oh fair enough [07:37] aetaric, No way, I do not spam ;-) [07:38] I've enabled the medibuntu repositories, and downloaded a new ffmpeg from there, but still no dice. I keep getting a "could not connect to socket" error [07:38] How do I make alltray minimize the right window? :/ I have an app which opens 2 windows when ran, it minimizes the wrong one [07:38] got to off toicp [07:39] Friends, if I select a better theme such as GreenTea, for Metacity, will it take more memory than the original themes? (I suspect it is taking slightly more memory, since Nautlis's memory consumption increased for 2 MB) [07:39] *huh* nevermind, it seems to work now o_O [07:40] steven__: sorry too many # already [07:41] Also, Nautilus is taking more than 110 MB memory (I want my 512 MB Old Laptop to run faster, so I disabled Graphical-Effects, AWN and no sign of Compiz. I even boosted Ubuntu, and suspended Beagle Desktop search, still it does not seem to run that fast) [07:41] tthat cool [07:42] I heard the Nautilus takes less than 50 MB on people's PCs, but why is it taking so much memory in my case? I tried to kill and restart the process, but it is always nearly 110MB [07:42] drd: i makeing a new OS do you know some you like to have on it [07:42] rocket16: sounds like you need something other than ubuntu + gnome [07:42] steven__: Offtopic here, go to #ubuntu-offtopic and ask there :/ [07:43] thank you [07:43] rocket16: Yeah, you might wanna try Lubuntu when it's out or Xubuntu. [07:43] clarkb: No, I would like to stick to GNOME, and Ubuntu, because I tried LXDE, Xfce and many others, (even other Distors), but none of them suites my needs [07:44] theadmin: Sorry, but Ubuntu is my first and foremost preference, :( And I run Kubuntu on my 8GB Desktop [07:44] rocket16: then Isuggest a hardware upgrade [07:44] rocket16: Then maybe use another filemanager?... Altough Nautilus is responsible for desktop icons :/ [07:44] theadmin: I dont think you can have gnome without nautilus [07:45] theadmin: I tried PCMan and Thunar, but that rips the heart of GNOME, and makes it more Xfce like, :( [07:45] theadmin: Also, I tried Openbox instead of Metacity, but OpenBox, though fast, is difficult to cope up with, :( [07:45] can any one tell that .. is it good to install ubuntu in virtual machine or should i make a seperate partition...??? [07:46] shreymech: Separate partition is a better idea. [07:46] All is working fine for me, just this Nautilus thing isn't, :( Anyway to reduce it's memory intake? [07:46] I had trouble getting networking to work in virtualbox + interpid :/ === wolverine is now known as Guest64729 [07:46] thradmin, okk sir [07:46] gtheadmin,ok sir [07:46] Also, I have only Ubuntu installed, on my 80 GB HD, (old laptop), so Swap is adequete too, [07:46] theadmin: how do you have troble with networking in virtualbox? [07:47] blkperl: Dunno, Network Manager is all just "Device unavailable" [07:47] hmm its automatic for me, i always get networking in VB [07:47] theadmin: try the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop adapter [07:48] theadmin: think you need the vbox guest-additions pkg [07:48] !nautilus [07:48] boblemur: Uh look i'm not asking how to solve it lolz I have Ubuntu installed the normal way... that were those days when I was just "trying it out"... [07:48] and one more query... does a SEAGATE external hardisk USB powered is UBUNTU compatibble..???? i need to purchase a external harddisk (USB powered) for my laptop installed with ubuntu... can any one suggest me a good cpmany and model of a very good external harddisk...????? thanx [07:48] hey can someone help me, i just installed kubuntu on my 1000HE netbook and although I can see my wireless network I can't connect to it [07:49] !adobeair === papul|offline is now known as papul [07:49] shreymech: Have a seagate here, more then satisfied [07:49] shreymech: I would be surprised if any USB mass storage device was not linux compatible [07:49] theadmin: im running virtualbox and the only adapter that worked for my guest was that one all the others didnt :) [07:49] I once decided to try out Puppy, but really, it is no match for Ubuntu. (Puppy is great, fast and light, but for day-to-day work, it isn't enough) [07:49] ok, so I was playing with new plymouth themes. Somehow that broke suspend (lucid 64). any ideas? [07:49] clarkb, ohkkkkkkk :) thanx [07:49] barbaric: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid questions, thanks [07:49] So, anybody, what is the normal memory usage by Nautilus? [07:49] theadmin, hmm okkkk...... soo SEAGATE is the best i cud get... ? [07:49] shreymech: just dont expect the software they ship to work (for backups etc) [07:49] theadmin: but never mind i through u ment ubuntu was the host [07:50] Mine is 110 MB, and it is extreme, :( [07:50] whoops, sorry. Thanks Flannel [07:50] clarkb, yes they were claiming some softwares for automatic backups and that all.... any use..?? [07:50] !linuc | barbaric [07:50] shreymech: Get anything [07:50] Where can I install: Adobe Air? Because I have Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits [07:51] Friends, any idea? [07:51] what the heck O_O Metacity just restarted all of a sudden [07:51] clarkb, i shud use it just like a storage device to store my data's .. copy and paste.. keeping it safe... !!! ??? [07:51] Is 110 MB for Nautilus normal [07:51] shreymech: yup [07:51] shreymech: Yes, the software they provide is mainly for Windows computers [07:51] ubuntu should automagically mount it for you someplace like /media [07:52] it may also be worth nuking the default ntfs partition it ships with... [07:53] clarkb: ...why? Better windows compatibility [07:53] theadmin: who needs that? [07:53] theadmin: you get better linux compatibilty when you get rid of ntfs [07:53] where in the latest ubuntu can i adjust the grub boot options ? [07:53] clarkb: Well, I do, have to use Windows in some places I take that device to [07:53] using a fs that understands perms properly etc is a good thing [07:53] Linux is very compatible with NTFS [07:53] dekroning: startupmanager, install that [07:53] straterra: sure, but perms break [07:54] clarkb: Well, i nuked the original partition anyway, reformatted it the way I like it :D [07:54] Oh! This Nautilus Memory consumption is a bug here! [07:54] Only if you dont knwo what you're doing [07:54] (granted with a mobile usb device thats not a huge deal) [07:54] know^ [07:54] straterra: you can get ntfs to preserve *nix permissions? === Zerp64 is now known as Popetooth [07:55] umasks and that kinda stuff [07:55] hey can someone help me, i just installed kubuntu on my 1000HE netbook and although I can see my wireless network I can't connect to it [07:55] hola algun español¿ [07:55] !es | new_sensacion [07:55] new_sensacion: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[08:02] does the version of mplayer in 9.10 support AC3 audio? [08:03] dekroning: it may not exist. Newer versions of xorg go without by default [08:03] clarkb: ahh oke, but there does it save config then? for instance i have my monitor screen rotated, and it seems to have saved that information [08:03] erkan^, I've used a few air apps way back on ubuntu [08:03] anybody here have information about linux software raid and hard drives, specifically concerning TLER? [08:03] I can't remember if the web install button ever worked though, erkan^ [08:04] i have a drive that has failed, and need to replace it, but im not sure which are safe to use...

I had Nautilis-clamscan installed, and I removed it. Now the memory consumption of Nautilus got to 60 MB from 110 MB, :) [08:05] o_O [08:05] theadmin and clarkb, Thanks for your help though, :D [08:06] antivirus? [08:06] avast [08:06] erkan^, I don't care to use air, but thanks :) [08:07] ok [08:07] clarkb: Yes, :) One day, one of the .exe files in my System was infected, and since Linux is secure, (and it was .exe), it could not do harm. But on giving the game.exe to a friend of mine, a windows user, he got infected. So, I kept Antivirus here, [08:08] avast4linux works [08:08] on 28th April is avaible for new version on Ubuntu: 10.10, aperson [08:09] erkan^: No, on the 29th 10.04 is going to be released. 10.10 won't be released until October [08:09] ow sorry yes [08:10] Hi, I need help... I have my notification area in my top panel, but the notifications end up an inch below the panel like in this picture: http://i41.tinypic.com/ngcbon.png Can anyone help me place it directly under the panel without that space? === Evil_DuDe_ is now known as Evil_DuDe [08:11] upera: Yes, it does. But, in case of Avast, you need to scan manually, (you need to start avast every time), but Clam-scan is portable and is accessible from right-click-menu [08:11] rocket16: dude hello [08:11] Saudra: Did another notification pop up before that one? [08:11] erkan^, thanks, I know :) I've been using ubuntu since warty [08:12] warty? [08:12] Warty Warthog, an earlier version of ubuntu. [08:12] aroni125: Nope, it's been this way for a while [08:13] It seems like that's just the default place for the notification area on my desktop [08:13] wow [08:13] notification popup* [08:13] that was 4.10 [08:13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases [08:13] interest :D [08:13] hi to all [08:13] cool [08:13] 4.10 [08:14] tarini: i think your looking for #helloworld :P [08:14] blkperl: i would like to be just polite ;) [08:15] network performance on 10.4 seems to be very slow... [08:15] atheros card [08:16] tarini hi im polite [08:17] smokex: It might be the driver. I've had performance problems with that card on Linux. [08:18] ubottu: lucid | smokex [08:18] smokex: 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 [08:18] I tried notification-properties and looked in gconf-editor, but they must have taken out notification-properties for Jaunty? [08:18] err Karmic* [08:18] kk [08:19] and apps -> notification-daemon only has one line "Theme - Standard" [08:19] boblemur: you there? [08:21] Hi - i'm new to this - and i'm after a little ubuntu support - can anyone help? [08:21] NetmanDH: Yep [08:22] !ask | NemanDH [08:22] NemanDH: 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. :-) [08:24] I just took over an Ubuntu 8.10 server which has FatClients and how do i manage the users - iff i do AddUser they appear in passwd, but they can't log on...the server is in a bit of a mess! [08:25] NetmanDH: how are they trying to login ? [08:26] via the client - this was all set up before i arrived. Current users within the passwd file can log on, but no added ones! [08:27] NetmanDH: which client, putty? [08:28] since i don't have a Xorg config, is there a way to dump the current Xorg config? [08:29] NetmanDH: which client, it could be using other mechanism [08:29] No, ubuntu, they are fat clients running over the network. Sorry if i'm not being too clear, i'm a windows network expert - not ubuntu. [08:29] no worries [08:29] no bad flash, crashed my google chrome [08:30] NetmanDH: what kinda of server is it ? [08:31] Ubuntu 8.10. there seems to be PAM authentication as well as LTSP and numerous other cr*p on there too. [08:31] I don't want to do a nice reboot just yet, just in case it all goes pear-shaped! [08:34] http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/52916/screenshot_1_fGP3wf.png ((( how to remove the universal access preference ))) [08:34] i got that stupid icon ever since i changed the theme of the gdm :( === latif_ is now known as Latifjadidua [08:35] the icons comes in the Indicator Applet 0.3.6 [08:38] anybody know why when i attempt to go into hibernate it says cannot find swap header? [08:39] Okay I figured out that the space between the panel and most notifications are reserved for notifications like volume control, but how do I get them all in the same place? Gconf-editor proved useless [08:39] Tyan: do you have a swap partition? [08:40] Hello. After installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 Beta2, I tried running apt-get install vim-full, but get : E: Couldn't find package vim-full. All available repositories are uncommented. Do I have to add another repo? [08:40] TyanColte: maybe this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/313724/comments/6 [08:40] yep, i just extended via the instructions on wubi's website [08:40] Can I set a different wallpaper for each monitor with dual monitors? [08:41] datune: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [08:41] rww: Thanks. [08:41] datune: I'm guessing you haven't done "sudo apt-get update", but if that doesn't work, ask the people over there :) [08:41] cuz before it said swapspace too small [08:41] rww: of course I did that ;-) [08:41] datune: you'd be surprised how many people don't :( [08:41] so i extended it and now it says swap header not found [08:41] rww: I can imagine ;-) [08:42] Gryllida: and that bug gives no resolution [08:43] Can anyone put up a default ttyX.conf on a pastebin so I can restore mine and remove this autologin [08:44] TyanColte: sure thing, it is not fixed yet, I run out of ideas on whether it is possible to workaround your problem [08:44] datune: vim-full doesn't exist in lucid's repository. [08:44] hey guys, I'd like to setup a proxy for port 800, so that wheneve connect to anything on port 800 it redirects me to a proxy server. #1 what would I need to do on the client side, and #2 what would I need to do as the proxy server.

[08:45] hey guys im trying to upgrade to desktop from server from 9.10 [08:45] datune: Ah thanks [08:45] im getting weird errors when i do a sudo apt-get install gnome [08:46] datune: vim-full is a transitional package for vim-gnome. Install vim-gnome instead [08:46] tony_mahoon: you want ubuntu-desktop, not gnome. [08:46] tony_mahoon: pastebin them? [08:46] rww: On Ubuntu SERVER, I need to isntqall vim-gnome? [08:46] rww: cheers mate, i knew there was a meta package, i just couldnt work out what it was called! [08:46] datune: oh, vi-full, not vim-full, sorry. I'm an idiot :) [08:46] Gryllida: I think rww has solved my problem cheers anyway [08:47] tony_mahoon: ok [08:47] i'm trying to make it so the ANSI art in my epic theme will display properly [08:47] can anybody help me with bundle script [08:47] kumar-kle, where are you running it aand what for [08:47] bump lol [08:47] I have an Ubuntu 8.10 server where the people logon via Fat Clients (no HD). They're all in the passwd file, but when i add another via adduser, they can't logon - any ideas. There seems to be PAM authentication and LTSM as well as lots to other rubbish on there [08:47] wait, no, you said vim-full [08:47] Gla, do you mean a tranparent proxy? [08:47] how can i list my drives? [08:48] azlon: open Nautilus?

[08:48] azlon, which ones does it noe show? [08:48] datune: vim-full has been a transitional package for vim-gnome since hardy, and the versions before that had gnome-support built in. So yes, if you've been using vim-full, you should be using vim-gnome instead. [08:48] what exactly bundle script is used for [08:48] Gryllida: im trying to grow my RAID and i just installed 2 more 1TB drives but I don't see them in the "df" list [08:48] rww: Ok, thanks. I'll try that [08:48] datune: on a CLI-only, you just want to install "vim" [08:49] azlon: tried reboot? [08:49] Gryllida: yep [08:49] datune: there are also vim and vim-nox, which might be more suited to you. [08:49] Flannel: Oh, thanks. [08:49] azlon: mounted drives? mount [08:49] rww: Indeed, that's what I was looking for. [08:49] is there a way to install a older kernel version (ubuntu package one) in the latests ubuntu version? i need kernel version 2.6.24 (or older) [08:49] azlon: hm, what is df list and are there any other lists? [08:50] Gryllida: im stumbling through cat /proc/diskstats [08:50] azlon: aroni125 said to try to mount the disks [08:51] is there an APE music player? how to compare APE and FLAC [08:51] Gryllida: hrmm... ok, how can i find them? [08:51] Gryllida: hold on... let me try a couple things [08:52] tripleb, 'how to compare APE and FLAC' -are these file formats or application names? [08:52] mount by itself should list every mounted filesystem. [08:52] aroni125, how to do a mount? [08:52] how can i share my internet bandwidth to different programs? [08:53] tripleb: you should compare them by size, both are lossless codecs, so no difference in quality [08:53] aroni125: ok, i see the drives... i think... [08:53] did something happen in 9.10 with regards to ac3 support and mplayer? I'm trying to convert an ac3 file into an m4a file [08:53] aroni125: sda and sdb [08:53] aroni125: looks like it just shifted all my other drives down 2 letters [08:54] manohar: what do you mean exactly? your bandwidth is shared by default to all running processes [08:54] perhamlinux: i'm getting the error that: Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "vga". Falling back on "fixed" [08:54] is there an APE music player? how to compare APE and FLAC --- Thanks but I found it in Ubuntu forums AND Gryllida FLAC is a music file format. It is the lossless opensource file forrmat that I know of. perhamlinux TY too. The link is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=344331 [08:54] ezrafree: check out here: http://www.mail-archive.com/enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03009.html [08:55] perhamlinux: when i download anything other sites dont open [08:55] perhamlinux: when i download anything other sites dont open [08:56] manohar: how about caping your download speed? are you using a download manager or firefox's default? [08:57] perhamlinux: firefox default [08:57] manohar, try firefox safe mode, will your issue remain? [08:57] manohar, Safe Mode (in supported Mozilla applications) is a good way to see if an add-on, theme or something else is causing a problem. Please see: http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode [08:58] hi, im drawing with my tablet and gimp kinda lags while drawing the lines, i'm wondering are there any other apps i dont know about that support tablets and are nice for drawing painting (maybe alog the lines of corel painter) ? [08:58] manohar: sudo apt-get install d4x , and then install flashgot addon for firefox [08:58] nice thank you perhamlinux, got it :) [08:58] perhamlinux: i have d4x already installed [08:58] does Wicd replace Network Manager in 9.04 I installed it now NM is gone [08:58] manohar: then you can download with D4x and use different speed schemes [08:59] ezrafree: you're welcome ;) [08:59] how do i use find on a folder name with a space ? [08:59] semanticpc: -print0 [08:59] azlon: those device files are automatically generated, so the drives shifting device files is possible. Unformatted drives do not show up in df or mount. Are they formatted? [09:00] aroni125: formatting them now [09:00] perhamlinux: i use the same method for most downloads but when i update my system with update manager then too it takes all bandwidth [09:00] hateball: find -print() /folder name -name 'pattern' ????? [09:02] perhamlinux: it is not that downloads from firefox is causing problem. it is happening when i install through apt-get install. this also takes all bandwidth [09:04] I seem to be having problems locating a .img file for 9.10 that isn't NBR [09:04] anyone have a url?

[09:43] chripher, htpasswd2 is htpasswd for apache2 ... i beleive [09:43] ah [09:45] so should I write htpasswd2 when I crearte ? eg sudo htpasswd2 -c /etc/subversion/passwd user_name [09:45] chripher, that's what i would suggest, yes [09:46] avelldiroll: why does not the guide say so then [09:46] chripher, because it's a work in progress :) [09:47] avelldiroll: sudo: htpasswd2: command not found [09:49] chripher: for setting htaccess and htpasswd?

[10:03] Hi Guys.....quick question.....I have apache2 installed as I am running a webserver. WHen I look in system processes how many 'Apache2' instances should be running? [10:03] depends on the webserver load IIRC [10:03] Jimi_Neutral: look in the apache config, it's normally about 5 for a non-busy server [10:04] by default I think it's something like one for every connection and 5 spare [10:04] Jimi_Neutral: the config file tells you how many to start at boot time [10:04] avelldiroll: back [10:04] I see because I have many running and many sleeping and this thing aint even live yet apart from on our internal network [10:04] avelldiroll: yes I have logged out and in [10:04] Jimi_Neutral: that's fine [10:04] hello, i've got a small issue with c/c++ compiler here. I've installed build-essential and libc6-dev, and whenever i try to compile by code it says that iostream/stdio is missing, though locate says that it's in this /usr/include/c++/4.4/iostream dir [10:05] nexsja: look at the path's in your code to the includes [10:05] chripher, i reread the wiki and did not find any problem ... i did not have time to test it though ... [10:05] ikonia, also my CPU is running at 99% near on. I noticed it when i tried to check the website this morning nothing loaded, well ti did but took ages, checked the sys monitor and the cpu is at 99% [10:05] ikonia, i have to supply the paths? i though i can just use #include and it will work. [10:05] avelldiroll: oaky [10:05] ikonia: howdy :) [10:05] avelldiroll: do you know the writer [10:05] Jimi_Neutral: see what is using up the cpu [10:05] ikonia, i need to do #include ? [10:05] nexsja: depends on how your development environment is setup [10:05] ikonia, how can i see what is specifically using it [10:06] Jimi_Neutral: a tool such as "top" can be useful [10:06] ikonia, i guess it's not set up at all :/ could you guide me a bit here? [10:06] Jimi_Neutral: what version of ubuntu are you running [10:06] ikonia, damn now its dropped right down...thats just weird. Ok I will look for that tool...and im running karmic [10:06] nevermind [10:06] chripher, no ... i will test it on a vm when i'll go back home tonight [10:06] i am having problem installing skype in my Ubuntu 8.04 [10:06] it shows error.. [10:07] nexsja: you can set your environment up as you wish, it's not something that's set in stone [10:07] avelldiroll: thanks but I need it to work now [10:07] chripher, in the mean time i can only advise to check for typos .... sorry [10:08] avelldiroll: done I followed this guide 3 times over still same error [10:09] please help installing skype [10:09] it is showing following error http://pastie.org/926779 [10:10] !skype | manohar [10:10] manohar: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [10:11] how do I find the free remaining space on my partition [10:11] it says I have 5.8 gigs left [10:11] but when I right-click + properties it says I have over 10.1 gigs of files (the partition is only 10 gigs) [10:12] ikonia: you seen any grub issues with grubs being washed of automaticly?

[10:18] #ubuntu-ko [10:18] nexsja: no I don't mean ide [10:19] geekphreak: never seen it just dissapear, I've seen windows overwrite it. try re-applying it, or making sure you're booting off the drive with grub on [10:19] yeah, for some reason wget is turtling up my band wagon, how do i put it up to speed?? [10:19] How can I debug Empathy? man empathy: "ENVIRONMENT: EMPATHY_LOGFILE=filename. If set, debug output will go to the given file rather than to stderr." How can I set 'EMPATHY_LOGFILE='? [10:19] ikonia: i did basic troubleshooting, person was not reinstalling windows , but he had to retore it like a lot of times [10:19] geekphreak: then that would be the problem [10:20] as soon as he would reboot, mostly grub would be taken off was wierd [10:20] bronto2: i can go over 2 mb/s when i use IDM with windows, hell the only problem is my chances of getting a virus. I'd rather download with an OS that i trust, but im an imaptient guy when it comes to speed [10:20] geekphreak: nah, that's expected [10:20] jfoozie420, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=526232 [10:20] oh ok [10:21] jfoozie420, i could easily saturate my connection with wget, so i dont know what could be a problem, btw [10:23] bronto2: hey how do i accellerate my server list from software sources??? it's been dam slow, i had to switch to NZ's servers to get it to atleast 200 kb/s when i usually download at 2 mb/s [10:23] woohoo fixed my coredump error :) [10:23] http://pastie.org/926779 how to solve this problem in skype? [10:25] manohar: it means it can't install the dependencies it wants to use, which probably means you're trying to use a version thats not compatible with your OS [10:25] manohar: what instructions are you following to install skype ? [10:25] jfoozie420, it all depends on the availability of free servers [10:26] 4sure then, ima have to play around and figure this thing out === DaZ is now known as Guest71397 [10:26] ikonia: sudo apt-get install skype [10:27] dam, tomorrow ubuntu turns into uBLUNTu....so light one up linux brotha's!!!!!!!

[10:27] manohar: what instructions are you following to install skype [10:29] ikonia: i added the skype repository in sources.list and updated it then gave the above command. [10:30] manohar: who told you to do that / what instructions are you following [10:30] ikonia: i am getting problem installing using synaptic too [10:30] manohar: who told you to do that / what instructions are you following [10:30] ikonia: tell me how to install skype then?

[10:33] ikonia: actually i dont remember which link in internet i used. [10:33] nilsma: vfat holds no permissions so when it's mounted it's mounted as that user's permissions === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [10:34] manohar: lets start from the beginning did you download skype from its main site [10:34] ? [10:34] nope [10:35] ikonia: yes, i found that when trying to give permissions, unfortunately reformatting is not an option - how should i go about being able to read/write/exe my usb hd from the "other user"? [10:35] i am using ubuntu 8.04 [10:35] do that first [10:35] Hello, i have a problem on a server running ubuntu 6.06 lts. clamav shows errors on starting up in the console= LibClamAV Error: Can't load /tmp/clamav-b2931dda4e9ba47a/daily.ndb: Malformed database.

[10:36] manohar: yes [10:36] anyone have a tutorial on installing ssl certificates - i generated mine then they sent one back -- now im lost [10:36] ok let me do that [10:37] ikonia: is it simply a matter of umount from user1 and then mount again from user2? [10:37] miZ--: For what application? Apache? [10:37] manohar: it says it's for the LTS but let see if its complatible [10:38] manohar: if it doesn't work we'll do it in another approach [10:38] can we use another approach first. coz i tried that and it dint work [10:39] manohar: lets try this, add this to the terminal sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [10:39] [10:40] can anyone offer help with fstab? i can access my external usb hd from one user, but i cant from another user (it is vfat formatted).

[10:41] anyway, good luck with that [10:41] jfoozie420: please wait... i am doing.. [10:42] nilsma: the user would have to umount it (or root) then the other user mount it [10:42] gday, what would be better to set up a new computer with today, 9.10 or the new beta2? [10:42] miZ--: usually the CA has instructions on their site for it, like #4 on here http://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-apache.htm [10:42] manohar: no no, don't jack off now, i got a class in the morning [10:42] nilsma: vfat isn't meant to be shared like that, however you could put group read/write permissions on it at mount time [10:42] dirk_: 9.10 [10:43] ikonia: how would i do that? i was under the impression that i should do that in /etc/fstab [10:43] thanks [10:43] manohar: lol its a joke, try this [10:43] ikonia: "do that": put group read/write permissions on it at mount time [10:43] nilsma: that's a good call [10:43] nilsma: fstab will do it fine [10:43] jfoozie240: i think the link says fiesty but i hav hardy [10:44] kay, thx. so the upgrade in about a week is not a struggle at all ikonia?

[10:45] with that grub issue lol [10:46] nilsma: do a quick google for ubuntu vfat permissions and you'll see some example fstab options [10:46] Yo yo yo [10:46] it should kill your problem, if it doesn't help then i have failed, and i will be 4ever called a loser. [10:46] ikonia: oki, thanks, i will try googling some more then :) [10:46] ActionParsnip: yodiggity [10:47] jfoozie420: following the link and downloading [10:47] manohar: goodluck with it homie [10:48] jfoozie420: you tried to help, thats what matter, thank you :) [10:48] jfoozie420: thanx let me try... if it works [10:48] manohar: good luck [10:49] geekphreak: thanks for the support, now i don't feel like a loser. [10:49] lol, im just messin [10:49] geekphreak: thanx too [10:49] jfoozie420: its all good bud [10:49] Can I set a different wallpaper for each monitor with dual monitors? [10:50] geekphreak: lol thanks for forgiving me! [10:50] peddy. Just stitch 2 images together to span the size of the whole desktop [10:51] ActionParsnip, is there an automated or easier way to do this? [10:51] (it's what I'm currently doing) [10:52] Hello, when I try compiling Wesnoth 1.8, it shows a message that SDL11 can't be detected. And it also asks me to install SDL11 from www.libsdl.org, and I installed the .rpm package, since no source or .deb was provided. What to do? [10:52] Peddy: not sure, I don't use dual monitors. You could if you had 2 seperate x servers but the large image in my view is far easier [10:52] Rocket16: ubuntu doesn't use rpm [10:52] Also, it shows the message "checking for sdl11-config... no [10:52] configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org." [10:53] Rocket16: its not working because you used the rpm. Find a deb file or a ppa to install the dep [10:53] ActionParsnip: I know, it uses .deb, but read my words, they say that nothing like .deb or source was there. === Sean is now known as Guest50575 [10:53] ActionParsnip: That is known to me, so Iam thinking of using alien to build the deb [10:54] rocket16: sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev! [10:54] Rocket16: just because its not on the site doesn't mean it doesn't exist [10:54] geekphreak: Lol, did that already, but it did not work, [10:54] oh ok [10:54] ActionParsnip: I have seen the entire Internet, and even the SDL developers told me, that they don't exist. [10:55] Rocket16: alien is really not advised. Find a ppa or deb online. You may even find a ppa for wesnoth, or one may be on getdeb [10:55] HA! [10:55] Hes "seen the entire internet" [10:55] Rocket16: then you will need to compile libsdl [10:55] !find libsdl === apc_ is now known as Peddy2 [10:55] Found: libsdl-image1.2, libsdl-image1.2-dev, libsdl-mixer1.2, libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, libsdl-pango-dev (and 30 others) [10:55] ActionParsnip: lol, what are you saying? There is no .deb yet for Wesnoth 1.8, [10:56] ActionParsnip, disconnected (thanks New Zealand internet), did you reply? [10:56] ActionParsnip: Also, I know I need to compile it, but the source is not available for sdl11-config, [10:56] Rocket16: there are some sdl packages on the repo which may give you what you need [10:56] ActionParsnip: I installed them all, no result [10:57] Peddy: if you had 2 x servers you could set seperate wallpapers but a combined image is far easier in my eyes [10:58] Rocket16: have you checked getdeb for a wesnoth deb? [10:58] ActionParsnip: Yes, the older ones are available.

[11:15] it can resolve broken packages and errors [11:15] tried, it didn't work [11:15] lazy: sudo apt-get -f install ,is worth a bash too [11:15] paul3333: then you will have to use a windows tool [11:16] ActionParsnip: that cmd gives same error [11:16] I have a basic question...

[11:23] primate, did you install w/ wubi?... never had that happen on my aa1 [11:23] ActionParsnip, I assume this link applies to me as well [11:23] Primate: boot to the live usb environment and reinstall grub. You don't have to reinstall just because the bootloader is bad. Just fix the bootloader [11:23] oh ok [11:23] cause i tried about:config on firefox but it doesn't seem to help when i toggle ipv6 to false [11:23] Rocket16: what if they don't like RTS? [11:24] so anyone here could advice me how i can change the main menu on the home screen of notebook remix [11:24] I have a sata DVD drive that I connect via USB to my acer netbook [11:24] Primate: no, you need to boot to you usb stick and reinstall grub [11:24] thanks dude, I'll look it up === bbalajirao is now known as heyboy [11:24] ActionParsnip: Lol, still a formidable game can be made, against Age of Empires series, :D [11:24] Hello, I need help.

[11:28] ActionParsnip: The debate continues, if you consider Java too, and I do have them. But, the thing is that, Commercial < Free < Open-Source, so Flash is better than Commercial softwares like Penumbra [11:28] brianherman: yes [11:28] neat [11:29] thanx all i got my skype running [11:29] manohar: is there is skype for ubuntu?!!!!!! [11:29] Rocket16: I thought the price was reasonab le and equated it to buying a pc game. Maybe I'm too old school [11:29] Mclvin: yep, even 64bit [11:29] manohar: maybe its time for you to walk me thru how to set it up [11:29] mcl0vin: yes [11:29] hi, I'm trying to get transmission-daemon working on a headless server. I've installed transmission-cli and transmission-daemon. The daemon is running, but when I try to use transmission-remote --list I get (localhost:9091) "Couldn't connect to server" [11:29] Lazy^, then i don't know howto resolve the error E [11:30] which ubuntu version we boot [11:30] mcl0vin, its fairly easy, there's a skype repository.. add it, and install it. [11:30] ActionParsnip: What we want to advocate Ubuntu for, is freedom and Open-Source. So, commercial games are not welcome here. The best way is to use free and open-source softwares. [11:30] Rocket16: nonfree proprietary isn't all bad. I am actively supporting developers who make native games for both linux and windows which can only be a good thing [11:31] Rocket16: if all games makers m.ade native linux versions wouldn't that be a great time? [11:31] mcl0vin: which ubuntu version u use? [11:31] Rocket16: no more need for wine or installing windows so you can play the latest games [11:31] if u hav latest its very simple [11:31] hello all [11:31] ActionParsnip: Isn't our discussion going a bit offtopic? Also, Non-free softwares are meant for profit, which clashes with the nature of Ubuntu. [11:31] manohar: remix [11:32] !skype > mcl0vin [11:32] mcl0vin, please see my private message [11:32] nexiu: are you on Dell xps [11:32] Rocket16: it doesn't, ubuntu does make profit. I think you should look at the paid for support. Canonical is a business and strives for profit [11:32] mcl0vin, no, acer aspire one [11:32] have anyone here tried the 10.04 version yet? [11:32] few day ago its works [11:32] Rocket16: I think you should research a little [11:33] !10.04 | etzerd [11:33] etzerd: 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 [11:33] mcl0vin: go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ and download ubuntu verion [11:33] ubottu: thanks [11:33] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [11:33] etzerd: #ubuntu+1 [11:34] manohar, there's a skype repository available, so you don't have to keep track of updates, it will update automatically [11:34] Hi, is there a good looking *non-mono* linux font where each character has the same width regardless of style? [11:34] ActionParsnip: A mutual profit is always welcome, when it benefits the ideology of the user and the developer. And I have researched nicely enough, but you seem to challenge the nature of Linux, and also, drag the discussion offtopic. In addition, Things like non-free softwares cause a flow of money from the pockets of the users to the developers. But Open-Source is what allows users to be developers. [11:34] Good day all , vista and 9.04 are connected via wifi and internet shares from vista into ubuntu , how to copy a file from ubuntu to vista (simple way) ?) [11:35] ahox: erm, isn't that what monospace means? [11:35] ahox: so you want a monospaced font that is "non-mono" ? [11:35] jrib: no, I don't care if i and w have the same width [11:35] Rocket16: no I just understand paid for software and proprietary software can exist as part of any OS. [11:35] nexiu: what does ifconfig -a give you [11:35] jrib: but w and *w* should have [11:35] Ken8521: yup u r true. if we install from .deb file, dont it update ? [11:35] ahox: I see [11:35] manohar, no [11:36] Rocket16: to think otherwise is short sighted just like those company's whom do not support opensource projects. It runs both ways [11:36] hey all [11:36] any remix users here beside me ?! [11:36] i want to ask something about new ubuntu beta [11:36] Ken8521: okz [11:36] !offtopic | ActionParsnip [11:36] is it just me or is it taking increasingly longer these days to do an update? [11:36] ActionParsnip: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:36] I don't really like to use the mono fonts, but the highlighting is done by using bold. So this gets ugly [11:36] dyrnade: #ubuntu+1 [11:36] Dyrnade: ask in #ubuntu+1 [11:36] mcl0vin, remix kinda sucks... whats the problem? [11:36] thnx [11:37] Rods_tiger: use less ppas and repos ;) [11:37] dyrnade: #ubuntu+1 [11:37] Ken8521: i will have to agree :)... i am trying to change the home screen menu to look like real ubuntu :) [11:37] ok [11:37] Rods_Tiger: try aptitude --purge-unused [11:37] aha [11:37] I will, if this ever finishes updating [11:37] Rods_tigers: also if you remove apps you don't need you will have less to upgrade === Perlfection is now known as nightfrog [11:38] like evolution? [11:38] mcl0vin, why not just install "the real ubuntu".. ? [11:38] Rods_tiger: like removing openoffice and installing abiword if all you use is writer [11:38] good plan [11:38] Ken8521: afraid it will not work right on my hp mini 110 [11:38] Rods_tiger: or evolution if you don't need it. Ubuntu ships with a LOT of fluff some you will never use [11:38] /etc/event.d vanished in Ubuntu lucid (development branch)? [11:39] hang on, I think it's hanging at the 99% mark each time, and it turns out to be google! [11:39] Rods_tiger: less packages == less updates [11:39] must be the chrome ppa [11:39] Rods_Tiger: sorry, I meant sudo dpkg --clear-avail . i copied the wrong line from my file [11:39] Fullmoon: #ubuntu+1 [11:39] ok [11:39] Thanks! [11:39] mcl0vin, so boot a live cd and test it [11:39] Rods_Tiger: the problem is that dpkg only seems to append so your db increases all the time [11:40] any opinion ? [11:40] ah, that's why my Acer Aspire One netbook has run out of room in a few weeks [11:40] Rods_tiger: remove the vnc server if you don't use it, and rdesktop etc if you don't use that [11:40] Ken8521: no CD on this mini [11:40] good idea [11:40] Rods_tiger: also removing old kernels can claw back 120mb per kernel [11:41] doesn't that happen automatically then? [11:41] Rods_Tiger: I don't think so, the increase is minimal [11:41] Rods_tiger: no [11:41] mcl0vin, ... do you have a usb thumb drive?.. around 1gig? [11:41] gah - this is as bad as gentoo, then [11:41] samba | samba [11:41] Rods_tiger: they are technically the same OS ;) [11:41] what might help is an aptitude autoclean [11:41] samba | alabd [11:41] Rods_tiger: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image [11:42] any other way ? [11:42] !samba | ala [11:42] ala: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [11:42] or the more aggressive aptitude clean [11:42] the netbook only has 8GB SSD, and it filled up within a month or so [11:42] how do i remove old kernels? [11:42] Ta [11:42] Ken8521: yep i got 2 GB [11:42] Rods_tiger: shows the current kernel and the installed kernels [11:42] mcl0vin, http://wklej.org/id/318840/ [11:42] there's loads! [11:42] i have about 5 or more kernels listed in my grub, i'd just like to remove them [11:42] nexsja: with synaptic? search for linux-image [11:43] is it safe to backup my pupblick and private ssh keys by using the export command in Accessories >> Passwords and Encryption Keys? [11:43] nexsja: from synaptic type linux-image in search box and remove kernel qwith lower number [11:43] Nexsja: run the above command, you can then use apt-get or software centre to remove the old kernels. Do NOT remove the current kernel [11:43] why not? [11:43] zvacet, which one of NFS or samba do you advice? [11:43] Rods_tiger: ^ [11:43] mcl0vin, ok.. download the i386 Live Desktop ISO from Ubuntu... its around 700mb... then use the USB Disk Creator, to put the iso on the USB drive, then boot the USB drive.. it will be just like running from a cd [11:43] thank you! :> [11:43] Rods_tiger: it will break stuff [11:43] nexsja: keep two kernels just in case that latest doesn't work properly [11:43] good reason [11:44] Ken8521: where do i get the usb creator please, is it included in the ISO [11:44] ubuntu can't be set up to ditch the older ones minus the two most recent then, automatically? [11:44] Rods_tiger: you can get a little more space removing the video drivers you never use but its not much [11:44] big apps are the best candidate then [11:44] mcl0vin, what version of ubuntu nbr are you using, it's probably on there [11:44] alabd: I don' advice just trying to give you some info [11:44] ummmm [11:44] Rods_tiger: not as far as I know, submit it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [11:45] i'm removing the old kernels and [11:45] ok [11:45] it looks like nvidia is getting removed also... is that a bad thing? [11:45] Rods_tiger: whatever you don't need, remove [11:45] well i will be using windows to create it [11:45] any opinion which one of samba and NFS is better to access files and folders on vista ? [11:45] Ken8521: nbr? not familir with the term [11:45] Nexsja: it will remove the nvidia kernel module for that kernel [11:46] oh, so it's okay? [11:46] mcl0vin use unetbootin then [11:46] mcl0vin, what version of ubuntu are you using? [11:46] alabd, windows does not natively support NFS, it's an easy asnwer, SMB [11:46] Nexsja: sure just remember to keep the current kernel [11:46] okay :> [11:47] joakim, thanks a alot god peace you bye you too zvacet [11:47] koshari: koshari bel 3ads wala eh [11:47] alabd: np [11:48] mcl0vin, type this w/o quotes, i'll try to help you... "/join #ken8521" [11:49] hey folks, I've recently installed karmic and have the docky ppa enabled. docky will NOT start when the system starts even though it is in the startup apps. Is this a known issue and is there a fix? [11:49] keito_, to enable docky, did you turn on desktop effects ? ( compiz ) [11:50] Oer, yeah. [11:51] Oer, it runs fine if I manually start it, but it will not launch when I reboot the pc === FreezingFriday is now known as BPower [11:52] any idea why `find Music/ -regex '.*/*\.(mp3|flac|ogg)' isn't working? [11:58] Hello? [11:58] Oer, just found some answers via a different search term on Google. Looks like even though compiz is enabled, docky tries to launch before compiz comes up so it is failing. Great. [12:00] this is a ghetto way of doing it, but you could try adding sleep 10s; docky in the startup [12:00] keito_: you could make a little script that sleeps a bit before launching docky [12:00] keito_, there is a way to delay the startup of docky , adding 'sleep 10 && ' [12:00] hehe ^^ [12:01] hateball, lol [12:01] hateball, yeah... classy [12:01] Hey, whatever works ;) [12:01] How does a bug like this make it past testing? lol [12:02] Other than that Karmic is OK. I'm currently testing various systems on a Sept-boot system.... Waiting for Lucid to go final release [12:03] Hopefully this issue with docky will be ironed out. knocking up a bash script to sleep a while before launching an app is just amateur [12:03] hi guys [12:04] hello [12:04] !hello [12:04] 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!

But the later versions -- it's just easier to virtualize windows (Virtualbox, Vmware, etc) instead. [12:06] !virtualizers | Dr4g [12:06] Dr4g: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [12:06] thanks man [12:06] Dr4g, if it's for testing purposes then virtualise... but please, help make IE a thing of the past. [12:06] vbox is just to easy to setup to mess w/ the headache of trying to get IE working under Linux [12:06] bitfox: what annoying problem? [12:07] Dr4g: (what Ken8521 said) [12:07] erUSUL, which one would you use for testing IE 6, 7 or 8 [12:07] Ken8521, ok thanks [12:07] Dr4g: virtualbox is the easier to get / set up [12:07] got it [12:07] brb lunch. ppl shouting "hurry up dr4g" :D [12:08] peace.

[12:08] dns ect are working perfectly [12:08] Dr4g:http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [12:08] Dr4g: You might want to look up the difference between virtualbox-ose and virtualbox (PUEL) -- if you have need for USB support, the PUEL version is (close source, but free) the way to go, IMO. [12:08] Lazy^, its probably medibuntu is having a prob w/ their repository... [12:08] bitfox: ur cpu @ 100% ? [12:09] brianherman, yep thanks [12:09] abb: It's very annoying [12:09] Ken8521: it's with all the repositorys what i have [12:09] * Dr4g is writing all these down [12:09] frogzoo: no [12:09] Ken8521: Err ftp://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security Release.gpg Could not resolve 'http' [12:09] Lazy^, oh... you've not added the gpg key for the medibuntu repository [12:09] same problem with that one also [12:09] bitfox: run 'vmstat 5' in a window [12:09] Lazy^: I just started getting Mediabuntu errors too. I wonder if their server is down, or the main server, or...etc? (But it's not just you.) [12:09] Lazy^, its their server.. not you [12:10] bitfox: when your shell blocks, immediately after it "unlocks" if you type dmesg -- do you see any errors that stick out at you? [12:10] Ken8521: but ftp://security.ubuntu.com works on other computer :) [12:10] Lazy^, "could not resolve" suggests either there is a connection problem on your end(which you say is fine), so it must be their end. [12:11] Lazy^, is it for karmic? [12:11] but why it says "http" and not the dns-name, like "ftp://security.ubuntu.com" [12:11] yep [12:11] frogzoo: one moment... [12:11] abb: there aren't any errors [12:11] must be something screwy w/ yur source list.. [12:11] Lazy^: Grep through your /etc/apt/sources.d/* and see hwo that particular item is written -- maybe there's a typo [12:11] Lazy^: s/hwo/how [12:12] frogzoo: done... [12:12] bitfox: what's your hardware, what kernel are you running, etc? ( processor, laptop/desktop model, and output of uname -a) ? [12:12] or.. assuming both of your boxes are running the samme versions of linux, just copy the "working" source list, over to the one that "isnt" working.. and voila.. [12:13] * abb points to Ken8521 and says "once again, what that guy said." [12:13] lol [12:13] * abb performs magic by proxy. Voila! [12:13] bitfox: does the output suggest any sort of resource deficiency? [12:13] My laptop is acer 5600 wml [12:14] bitfox: remember to paste your output into pastebin or something, if it's large... [12:14] !pastebin |bitfox [12:14] bitfox: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:14] cool, that's the first "ubottu command" I've ever used...well, except for random goofing around ... like !isThisRandomThingInThere and such. hehe [12:16] bitfox: examples of what you might want to record/paste for the channel to inspect: output of sudo `lspci -v & dmesg & lshw > pastebin.txt` [12:16] or something like that. [12:16] abb: everything seems to be ok. It's bitching about 'http' error, i can't understand why it isn't bitching with dns name. that 'http' gets me feeling that something else is fucked up [12:17] Lazy^: no, (with all respect) I think you're confusing the questions. This guy is talking about a random hangup where the control prompt freezes when he's in the shell. (Or at least that's what I THOUGHT he said.) [12:17] Lazy^: though I agree with your assessment of the guy with the http error. :) [12:18] abb: hehe, i just answered that with grep /etc/apt/sources.d/ seems to be ok... [12:19] oh hell, must go afk for a bit. bitfox, if you're out there, um... may angels fly thee to thy rest. er, I mean, "good luck" :) [12:21] Is there a reason I can't drag a window to my second monitor with a twinview (nvidia) setup running a fresh install of Karmic? [12:21] DanJ, most likely your twinview isn't setup right... [12:21] i drag stuff from one to the other all the time [12:21] hrm [12:22] abb: I analized the dmesg output... all seems to be ok! :-) [12:22] think there's maybe a conflict with x/compiz et al [12:22] I haven't used ubuntu in a while, it's changed a bit [12:22] :) [12:22] DanJ, just outof curiosity, try this.... open a window on the left window, and instead of dragging it "right" to get on the right monitor... drag it left.... and see if it comes up on the right monitor [12:22] nah already tried that [12:22] no joy [12:22] :0 [12:23] lol [12:23] got me once to.. :) [12:23] what's Xinerama? [12:23] never had to use it, twinview works fine [12:23] kk [12:23] abb: Today I tried to disable compiz effects from system->preferences but the problem doesn't disappear [12:24] DanJ, i take it you've set everything up in Nvidia-Settings? [12:24] yeah AFAIK [12:24] and you've enabled the driver? [12:24] yeah [12:24] hmm [12:24] I have like, two desktops [12:24] which is odd [12:24] it's not a clone [12:24] oh.. you've got your nvidia-settings wrong [12:24] oh ok === root is now known as Guest68540 [12:24] yeah, i'm not at my desktop so i cant tell you exactly how it is. [12:25] oh shit [12:25] DanJ, go to nvidia-settings... and i *think* its display settings.. then click Configure.. and make sure its set to twinview [12:25] I've got "seperate screen" ticked instead of twinview [12:25] ha [12:25] I'm a twat [12:25] nvm [12:25] DanJ, yup... [12:25] DanJ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:25] harsh [12:25] cool brb [12:26] For example in this moments I'm typing from the terminal... all it's ok, but later the problem will appear. I'm sure [12:26] My shared CUPS printer will disapear from the Samba network after a while and will not receive print requests. Only solution is to restart samba/cups/network on host PC. Any help? [12:29] yo! [12:29] just downloaded a a gtk theme for my ubuntu 9.04 and couldnt install it [12:30] e-DIO-t, what did you try to install it?

Any suggestions? [12:41] !audio [12:41] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:42] what about wireless instead ?

[12:42] oh sry [12:42] my wireless button doesn't seem to work [12:43] littlepenguin: what modules do you need for usb / doesent the kernel load them at boot [12:43] Amiz, well, unemployment in the US is very high, maybe it just can't find a job [12:43] you should check if usb modules are loaded..maybe why ever they are not loaded [12:43] !list [12:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [12:44] pardon: does anybody know anything about a kernel error on wifi modules in Karmic Koala over Acer Extensa 5635Z? === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [12:44] you are so funny ken [12:44] or not [12:44] :D [12:44] littlepenguin: that brings me back to the first question what modules are needed for usb [12:44] setkeh, its quiite possible you have a hardware recognition issue.. its just not recognizing your internal usb hub. [12:44] Amiz, well, you said it wouldn't work.. why don't you try expanding on your question [12:44] @setkeh first do lsmod |grep usb [12:45] e-DIO-t, whats your wireless device, and what is the kernel error? [12:45] Ken8521: i have i have a linux foundation 1.1 root hub in my lsusb [12:45] ken8521:am sorry i cant find [12:45] got it. thank you [12:45] littlepenguin: you command phails [12:45] Well it's a Compaq 700EL, i've installed ubuntu, sound and everything works, just the wifi switch, when i press it to turn it on it stays orange and doesn't turn blue [12:46] mmh i should reinstall -> the main problem is a Wifi module crash -> connection fault. After an update it prints no error, btw wireless falls down in a "some minute". [12:46] [i should reinstall it to give you proper infos] [12:46] Amiz, but does your wifi work?.. that's not an uncommon issue to be truthful.. mine has never even lit up... but my wifi works fine [12:47] it doesn't [12:47] Amiz, now we're getting somewhere. [12:47] Ken8521: Amiz: sometimes you need to load an extra modual for you wifi light to work [12:47] when you click nm-applet, can you see networks? [12:47] setkeh, true... i've never bothered.. but i was really speaking about "out of the box" [12:47] wireless is AtherosAR928X [12:47] extra modual ? what's that and how to load it ? [12:47] cellphone [12:48] Amiz, it doesn't matter, it won't fix your problem [12:48] @setkeh try sudo modprobe -r usbhid [12:48] Ken8521: yeh :D i was just putting it out there :D [12:48] Hey guys im back.

[14:31] a printer driver [14:31] z600 lexmark [14:31] what does it tell you to run and what are you running? === carlos is now known as car|0s [14:31] tachiro: good luck with that one. [14:31] and why do you think you need drivers? Cups can handle most printers just fine [14:31] ehh [14:31] Im looking for a dock that I can run without compiz or OpenGL, is there such a thing? [14:31] apparently not lexmark [14:32] tachiro, is it a laser printer? [14:32] tachiro: yes you can run lexmark, they made a new driver a few weeks ago [14:32] tachiro: I think you can download it from their website [14:32] ascheel: not sure what you're asking but i'm on karmic koala if that matters, and no it's an inkjet AIO [14:32] x1290 [14:32] tachiro: you can try http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting for more linux printing information, too [14:33] tachiro: go to lexmark's website [14:33] zork [14:33] er, wrong tab ;) [14:33] Pici: :) [14:33] mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/emad/.kickservices': File exists [14:33] any help [14:33] Pici: open mailbox. get leaflet. read leaflet...

[14:35] well i went there sorta last week but i'm not sure if i scoured it that much [14:35] CRAP he missed all that [14:35] pardon the repeat [14:36] csaba whoa you said they put out a new driver last week? [14:36] yes [14:36] for? [14:36] like AIOs? [14:36] I have lexmark x3400 i think [14:36] Emad: did you already have kickservices installed and you're trying to reinstall? you can rename the directory and try agian.. mv /home/emad/.kickservices /home/emad/.kickservices-backup [14:36] interesting [14:36] has a scanner, printer etc. [14:36] hello [14:36] http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/xryBbJ9V <--- is this a bug? === bradbook is now known as brad[werk] [14:36] Anybody able to help me figure out why apache2 and mysql aren't starting at boot-up? They both have links in /etc/rc6.d and both can start up if I kick them off manually using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start (or mysql instead of apache2) [14:36] uhhh so you think the driver is like, and "x series" thing or did it come out for just your model === jo_ is now known as greenymonkey [14:37] wish i still had my dualscreen, multitasking googling this would be so easy [14:37] tachiro: I think it was like for all xmark multifunctional printers... I found it on some forum two weeks ago, and it's a restricted driver at the moment [14:37] but it's made by lexmark [14:37] has a pretty installation wizard [14:37] I need some major help with WoW [14:37] ascheel: hello , can you open terminal plz [14:38] hi guys. i just installed phpmyadmin on apache2 and it works fine. how do i hide '/phpmyadmin' though? I wish to set-up a single virtualhost that exposes it.. [14:38] geekphreak, already open. [14:38] geekphreak: #winehq would be the more appropriate place to ask [14:38] Does anyone know anything on error 132 [14:38] Pici: ecuse me? [14:38] greenymonkey: Check wine's appdb, are you familiar? [14:38] excuse* [14:38] csaba ok i'm going to the site but, by any chance do you have that link to the forum where you found it [14:38] h00k no [14:38] geekphreak: clearly mistabbed ;) [14:38] Pici: that was meant for greenymonkey and not geekphreak [14:38] tachiro: maybe I have it locally, just a sec [14:38] sure [14:38] ubottu: tell greenymonkey about appdb [14:38] ascheel: type sudo apt-get install rcconf [14:39] greenymonkey, please see my private message [14:39] rcconf is already installed and shows apache2 and mysql enabled [14:39] Pici: yep i know , fun pulling your leg for a change :) [14:39] geekphreak: correction. apache2 isn't listed, but mysql is [14:40] ascheel: when it is installed sudo rcconf , are they both chked? [14:40] h00k: I've tried looking every where on the internet but it seems like the error is common but no one has a clue what to do [14:40] Im looking for a dock that I can run without compiz or OpenGL, is there such a thing? [14:41] Ddorda: cairo-dock can run without openGL [14:41] ascheel: you could "sudo tasksel" and reinstall or install LAMP (most of which you already have) but it might set up the deamon correctly to start on boot. [14:41] Ddorda, never used it myself but check out simdock [14:41] scunizi: could I do an apt-get install --reinstall on it? [14:42] Does anyone else know anything about error 132 [14:42] greeny in what consens? [14:42] relating to wow [14:42] ascheel: probably but sudo tasksel prompt you with a menu and then runs apt-get and other scripts to install what you want on the server. [14:42] wow...stop wasting timwe [14:42] time [14:42] ? [14:42] just a joke [14:42] :p === djm_ is now known as Guest34792 [14:42] greenymonkey: #winehq would be the more appropriate place to ask [14:42] greeny did you ask wow support?? [14:43] little, i haven't asked wow support [14:43] little; but I have checked winehq i've checked wowwiki i've checked everywhere [14:44] ZykoticK9: I will try. thanks [14:44] pici; is there another channel on Xchat where I can speak to WoW or winehq [14:44] greenymonkey, in the comments section there are some 132 errors http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17421 [14:44] tachiro, sorry can't find it [14:44] wheere can i buy ubuntu-branded cds? (with the Ubuntu image written in them, obviously) i mean, i can't order any more CDs on ubuntu shipit because i already ordered Jaunty and Karmic, so they don't allow me to do that [14:44] lol drats! [14:44] greenymonkey: #winehq is the channel on freenode (the irc network you're on now). /join #winehq [14:44] greenymonkey, are you passing -opengl [14:44] greenymonkey: you mean other then the #winehq channel? [14:44] ok well i'll keeps scouring the site [14:44] @greeny error 132 has sthg to do with ram issues [14:45] but thanks for looking [14:45] WoW has so many pages and forum threads on the WineHQ web site. its scary [14:45] maybe search for lexmark ubuntu 9.10 on google, I'm not sure how I found it [14:45] Beyecixramd: http://store.canonical.com [14:45] hmm [14:45] ok [14:45] zykotick9 ye i've tried with -opengl and without [14:46] thanks Pici [14:46] i've joined the other channel now, thanks for you help ^^ [14:46] greenymonkey, i've NEVER played WOW, but i know the -opengl is REQUIRED on linux [14:46] hello [14:47] hi bsky [14:48] hi, why does 9.10 start with wireless disabled? how do i stop it from being disabled on startup? [14:49] i want to add some pointer device to my Xorg config, however i don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, how can i add my config, or rather where ? [14:50] dekroning: there are other places that duplicates of xorg.conf can be and will be looked for [14:50] dekroning: generate a new xorg.conf with X - configure :1 [14:50] dekron or look in your fav search engione for examples [14:50] modify it to feet your needings and move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:50] fosco_: well i tried that, but with the configratuion X -configure generates my X doesn't wont to start [14:50] scunizi, reinstall of LAMP, still not starting at boot-up. === Yum is now known as Yum|--- [14:51] tachiro, found it! it's for x3650 but maybe it works for you too: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode=LEXMARK_X3650&actp=PRODUCT&id=DR20523&segment=DOWNLOAD&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en [14:51] ascheel: and you actually rebooted? [14:51] fit* [14:51] HAH! [14:51] yeaaaaa [14:51] geekphreak: no 'apache2' listed in rcconf [14:51] scunizi, full reboot yes. [14:51] fosco_: so i'm really curious which config settings Ubuntu uses for it's default xorg.conf [14:52] ascheel: using LAMP? [14:52] csaba ok i try it out [14:52] thanks [14:52] dekroning: everything is autodetected [14:52] again* [14:52] geekphreak, just manuall installation of mysql, apache2, and php, but yes it's LAMP for all intents and purposes [14:52] no problem [14:52] s/manuall/manual [14:52] fosco_: but X -configure is also autodetected right? [14:52] hello everybody [14:52] yes [14:52] should be the same [14:52] fosco_: them i'm confused why running that config doesn't work [14:53] read the X logs to find out what's the problem [14:53] grep EE /var/log/X*log [14:54] ascheel: so when you reinstalled did you do it manually or use tasksel as suggested? [14:54] scunizi: tasksel [14:54] fosco_: doesn't have any EE (excpet for some false positives like MIT-SCREEN-SAVER and the default banner explaining (EE) error) [14:54] no errors showed up. At least not to stdout or stderr. [14:56] ascheel: did you look at dmesg? [14:56] scunizi: doing that now [14:56] Guys, how i can check who is using port 9418? [14:56] how do i pass mount options when mounting root? [14:56] scunizi: that's odd. Neither mysql or apache exist in apache. [14:56] Danielpk: sudo lsof -i :9418 [14:57] scunizi: it's not even trying to open it [14:57] thx [14:57] * ayam_jago brb cari rokok [14:57] ascheel: is this on 9.10? [14:57] scunizi: sorry I can't type for crap today. Neither mysql nor apache exist in dmesg* [14:57] scunizi: yes, 9.10 [14:57] :q [14:57] wrong window, sorry [14:58] ascheel: desktop install or server? [14:58] scunizi: desktop [15:00] hello [15:00] I want to make some text snippets which I can control via shortcuts [15:00] so if I have a text editor open or a form in a browser when I press the hotkey the text should be typed [15:01] how can i get a cron job to run as a normal user? OR how can i get logrotate to run as a normal user [15:01] who can help me ? [15:01] !ask | Carlis [15:01] Carlis: 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. :-) [15:01] skrite99: just do 'crontab -e' from your user, don't use sudo [15:01] skrite99: Modify that user's crontab? [15:01] avelldiroll: will you test the subversion guide until tomorrow? [15:01] is it possible to do this ? [15:01] ok [15:02] skrite99, are you sure logrotate doesn't require elevated privileges? [15:02] ascheel, Pici ok, easy enough, thanks [15:02] ascheel: this is weird.. I've installed and run apache2 on 9.10 without any issues.. shot in the dark.. uninstall tasksel lamp package then check synaptic and look for what might be remaining for mysql and apache.. remove.. restart or restart gdm then back to tasksel to reinstall the lamp option [15:02] hi i amnew to ubuntu i an i just installed it on my laptop i updated the hardware and everything and the wireless internet was working until i closed my laptop now the wireless thing says its disconnected and no longer displays the available networks is there any one who can help me pls [15:02] chripher, I told you ... if I got time this evening (i am in europe ...) [15:02] salve al mondo di ubuntu [15:02] ZykoticK9, not sure, just when it runs, another process i have looses permission to write to the logs [15:02] scunizi: you got it [15:02] ruby_on_tails: tricky. if you use vim, the snipMate plugin will do this handily. doing this for *all* input, though, i'd have to think about... [15:03] scunizi: I'm at a loss, too! :) [15:03] !it | ibm [15:03] ibm: 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) [15:03] is there a package that contains the ubuntu installer to install on other media? [15:03] is there a distro of ubuntu that is straight up openbox with all of the same drivers and such as the regular gnome version? [15:03] ascheel: run server in a vbox vm :) [15:03] hi i amnew to ubuntu i an i just installed it on my laptop i updated the hardware and everything and the wireless internet was working until i closed my laptop now the wireless thing says its disconnected and no longer displays the available networks is there any one who can help me pls [15:03] michael_, i think it has disabled your wireless, right click on the icon that shows your networks and tick the 'enable wireless' box [15:03] pfft [15:03] avelldiroll: I be at home then so I guess we can talk again tomorrow (I do not have access to work from home) [15:03] gmatt: try lubuntu [15:03] its enabled [15:03] thanks fosco_ [15:04] sipior: ok, browser specific snippets controlled by keyboard ? [15:04] ok [15:04] ruby_on_tails: on the other hand, you could write a script which writes certain text to the clipboard, and call that script from your key shortcut. then you would just need to paste the text wherever. [15:04] This is the sptep number 2: [15:04] Step 2. Now we will need to install the. NET Framework in version 1 at least (preferably the version 1 and 2) besides the VisualBasic Runtimes. We will use a script which we obtain using wget in console: [15:04] it's enabled and still not showing networks? [15:04] correct [15:04] sipior: that would be cool, how can I do that ? === Nijverheid is now known as Guest12822 [15:05] signal? [15:05] noise? [15:05] ruby_on_tails: have a look at "xclip" [15:05] sipior: ok, thanks [15:05] wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks [15:05] michael_: did you install wicd by any chance? [15:05] It´s going to open the content of it [15:05] but I don´t what do i have to do there [15:06] i dont knwo what wicd is [15:06] but I don´t know what I have to do there [15:06] scunizi: doing a purge on all of the apps in question. Then I'll reinstall [15:06] how can i become part of the ubuntu artwork team? [15:06] there's an IRC channel somewhere, but i don't remember the room... [15:07] Beyecixramd: you might find some information on their wiki, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork [15:07] thanks h00k [15:07] and yatesie i have it enabled but its not shoing any wireless networks available [15:07] testing [15:08] Beyecixramd: it looks like they have a mailing list yuou can get involved with, and #ubuntu-artwork [15:08] earlier it started showing networks available bu the ssids that were appearing were jibberish [15:08] i'm not really interested in mailing lists, h00k, but thanks for the info :) [15:08] sipior: after I install xclip I need to restart something ? [15:09] doesn't seem to work ? ls | xclip [15:09] Beyecixramd: that's where a lot of discussion happens on things, probably, so consider it [15:09] scunizi: full removal done on apache2 and mysql. Rebooting now. [15:10] michael_: did you do an update on system and which version of ubuntu is it? === Guest12822 is now known as Nijverheid [15:10] i updated it [15:10] ascheel: quick question.. did you manually install init? [15:10] h00k: the problem is that i don't get the same feeling, i probably don't know how's the way to work on a mailing list, anyway [15:10] how do i check the version [15:10] scunizi: did not manually install init [15:11] Beyecixramd: well, check it out, ask in the channel what's the best way to keep in contact, etc [15:11] ascheel: ok.. I'm still catching up on some of the changes in the backend in the last couple releases.. the machine I'm on now is 8.04 and my desktop is 9.10 [15:11] i'll do that, h00k [15:12] michael_: ubuntu version? lsb_release -a [15:12] switch10_ how do i check which version i have im like super new to this [15:12] ascheel: not sure what they are doing with init.. but restarting, activating, stopping seems to be accomplished with "sudo service " [15:12] no worries, scunizi. I run 9.10 server on a home PC and it seems to be ok. [15:12] michael_: open a terminal and type: lsb_release -a [15:12] scunizi: let's see what I get after this reinstall [15:13] ascheel: how are you with samba? [15:13] scunizi: pretty decent. It's up and running just fine [15:13] 9.10 [15:14] I don't do anything fancy with it, but I know how to work with it [15:14] michael_: ok, [15:15] hey guys [15:15] michael_: when did this problem start happening? [15:15] i have problems with sound [15:15] i can't hear any sound [15:15] !sound | bahaa2008 [15:15] michael_: was it after the updates, did system shutdown or freeze during update? [15:15] bahaa2008: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:15] but everything seems to work [15:15] ascheel: I've got a directory on a secondary drive shared on my home Lan.. my wife and I can read and write to it.. however any new directories or files created on the share belong to the user creating them.. they can be viewed/read but not changed.. I want full 100% access for both of us (unauthenticated).. [15:15] using ubuntu 9.10 [15:15] after i put my claptop to sleep and it woke back up it and it was no longer working [15:16] tested alsamixer thing [15:16] scunizi: What protoclo are you sharing with? [15:16] scunizi: no problem, gimme a min. [15:16] michael_: ok can you open terminal for me plz? [15:16] the_real_dave: using samba/cifs [15:16] ubuntu remix netbook 9.10 was installed with windows xp. is there a way to make ubuntu the default system to load and is it possible to make the ubuntu partition bigger without reinstalling? [15:16] I am currently using Ubuntu [15:16] ok its open [15:16] Jaunty Jackelope [15:16] ascheel: my wifes machine is xp/home :( [15:17] I connect to the internet using wvdial [15:17] but the same setup wont work in fedora [15:17] dont know why [15:17] scunizi: no problem at all. I share to my laptop from windows all the time. You want UNauthenticated, right? [15:17] When I insert a tp-link wn something and start the computer the system does not boot. after splash screen nothing. the same system is booting without a problem with that wireless card [15:17] wvdial connects [15:17] gabriel_: you can resize the partition from a liveUSB [15:17] but cant browse the web [15:17] scunizi: This link might help http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html [15:17] h00k, hello [15:17] !enter | thefedorabug [15:17] thefedorabug: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:17] ascheel: yes.. but only the one main folder [15:17] *on windows xp [15:17] scunizi: no problem at all. stand by [15:17] thefedorabug: hello [15:17] ascheel: and any folders inside [15:17] h00k, is it possible with a live cd? [15:18] scunizi: getting you a pastebin [15:18] gabriel_: to resize the partition, yes [15:18] I am using Jaunty Jackelope now and use Wvdial to connect to internet, but the same setup dont allow me to browse the web on Fedora [15:18] h00k, I am using Jaunty Jackelope now and use Wvdial to connect to internet, but the same setup dont allow me to browse the web on Fedora [15:18] michael_: 1 sec please [15:18] the_real_dave: thanks for the link.. that's an authenticated share though.. [15:18] h00k, do i need to start setup? or??? [15:18] ascheel: thanks [15:18] Hi all. Is there a way to remotely view /dev/fb via ssh. Not trying to view an X dispaly. Just the framebuffer. [15:19] geekphreak: is there a way to private chat cause this is mad connfusing [15:19] Hi, I found that the memory in use reported by 'top' and 'System Monitor' is different, can anyone tell me why? [15:19] I got 256 total memory, 'top' says 231160k is in use, but 'System Monitor' says 139.5M is in use. [15:19] h00k, about making it the default system to load? [15:19] gabriel_: you can do it from the "try ubuntu without installing" [15:19] h00k, got it... [15:19] scunizi: you may want to consider changing the create mask: http://pastebin.com/YRKt381K [15:19] solotim: Look at the output of free -m specifically, what is being used +/- buffers/cache [15:20] h00k, got it... (but is it possible from within the installed netbook 9.10? [15:20] scunizi: however, all 3 shares on this particular PC are open to the public. It should be self-explanatory locking some down to specific users and require authentication. The [stuff] share in particular is what you need to pay attention to === Votan|off is now known as Votan [15:21] Pici: thank you [15:21] scunizi: shouldn't even require a service restart (but one wouldn't hurt!) [15:21] ascheel: nice.. give me a minute to look it over. should I just eliminate the "create mask" or change it to "something" else..? [15:21] scunizi: The same will work with an open share. [15:21] scunizi: Or does create mask not help? [15:22] scunizi: leaving it there is fine, but I would recommend 666 so you can modify it directly on the server PC without needing 'sudo' [15:22] ascheel: it's actually a share off my desktop as opposed to a seperate box [15:22] scunizi: You could always write a script to change the permissions, and get cron to execute it every 5 minutes or so. I use that crude but effective method on my server [15:23] the_real_dave: true.. but not exactly the most elegant way of accomplishing it. [15:23] scunizi: Like I said, it's crude but effective [15:24] scunizi: better to have a create mask set. If you're giving them full read-write anyhow, then just set it to 0666 and forget about it [15:24] h00k, thanks [15:24] h00k, front speaker was mutted :( what a shame :) [15:25] SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) [15:25] any idea why :/ [15:25] everything seems fine [15:25] scunizi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/418627/ would do the trick, giving full access. Give me two secs for a cron entry [15:25] can anyone help me with a little of "netstat -rn"???? [15:26] aman: in what way ? [15:26] uhh... that's recursive with line numbers right? [15:26] ascheel: so the section in "stuff" is pretty much all I need? looks too easy.. my config had guest ok, read only, writeable & browseable as you have set it.. I didn't have public = yes or comment [15:26] where would i find updated drivers for intel video cards that work nicely with ubuntu 9.10? [15:26] helo: no, that's a routing tables resolved to names [15:26] scunizi: you might need some of the [global] vars. Checking now [15:26] ikonia: i have a question in which i have to find out problm in network but i dont know wat the problm in it....:( [15:26] heh [15:27] ascheel: that's what I was wondering. [15:27] scunizi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/418630/ [15:27] aman: so what has that got to do with netstat -rn ? [15:27] the_real_dave: thanks [15:27] ikonia: please have a look at it http://img208.imageshack.us/i/ques3.png/ [15:27] scunizi: you need the public and guest options. Probably good to do the 'read only' and 'writeable' as I have them set as well. In Global, get these settings: guest account, security, create mask [15:27] scunizi: Not the most elegant way, but effective :) [15:28] aman: we are not here to help you with tests, this is ubuntu support only [15:28] ikonia: its a ques in ubuntu book only....:) [15:28] scunizi: better yet, you can move that 'create mask' piece right to the [stuff] share so it's not a global setting [15:28] # mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windisk/ => Segmentation fault. [15:28] where would i find updated drivers for intel video cards that work nicely with ubuntu 9.10? [15:29] aman: so ? [15:29] Is that a known issue? [15:29] aman: this is ubuntu support - not test help [15:29] scunizi: a global 'create mask' of 0666 is a bad idea. Restricting it to a single share is just fine. [15:29] gabriel_: not when it's running, no [15:29] ascheel: security I don't have in my global.. I did try "inherit permissions" once.. to no effect. Wwhat does the create mask do again? [15:29] ikonia, ok dude no problm dont be angry ....:) [15:29] h00k, thanks m8 [15:29] scunizi: create mask. When a user uploads a file that doesn't exist, it creates it with that mask for permissions. 0666 = rw, rw, rw === aman is now known as indian_munnda [15:31] ascheel: got it.. 666 as opposed to 777 eliminating the exec. bit.. don't you have to combine that with a user mask too? or as an open share there's no need for that? [15:31] where would i find updated drivers for intel video cards that work nicely with ubuntu 9.10? [15:31] scunizi: no need to do that with an open share like that. === MikeB is now known as Technoviking [15:32] scunizi: it will create the files as the user 'nobody' so keep that in mind. [15:32] So you can change the 'nobody' in the smb.conf to be another user on the system if you really want to. I just leave it as that. [15:32] ascheel: I've been hunting for these answers for a week.. samba book, online samba site, google, here.. you're the first to offer solid answers.. Thanks! [15:33] lol no problem, my friend. Took me a few days to get it all sorted out, too. [15:33] ascheel: even as the user "nobody" for files.. I should still be able to delete, read write create etc.. [15:33] Hi there, got a machine, just installed ubuntu, its not picking up my monitor, so its set to 800x600. any suggestions please? its a samsung monitor [15:34] AdvoWork: what kind of video card do you have?

[15:35] scunizi: lol dunno. need to do a test reboot [15:37] scunizi: that smb.conf example work ok for you? Had time to test it, I mean? [15:38] ascheel: not yet.. the other machine is in the back office of the house next to the master BR.. wife is still sleeping. I couldn't sleep after 4:30 this morning for some reason. [15:38] scunizi: apache2 is starting at boot, but not mysql. Checking for rc2.d scripts. [15:39] scunizi: nothing in rc2.d [15:39] ascheel: when you installed did the process ask to setup passwords for mysql? [15:39] scunizi: no it didn't, but I already had them set up from before [15:39] ascheel: on the initial install? === j1 is now known as milo1 [15:40] ascheel: of mysql that is.. [15:40] scunizi, onboard as in, graphics are on the motherboard, i dont know really [15:40] is it possible to update 8.04 directly to 9.10 version using a CD? [15:40] AdvoWork: you need to find out what they are exactly.. in a terminal you can type lspci to find out or sudo lshw [15:41] lspci | grep -i vga [15:42] scunizi: added the link /etc/init.d/mysql -> /etc/rc2.d/S91mysql [15:42] milo1: No. You can only upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 OR to 10.04 when it is released.

That's a keeper [15:43] hurry up before she gets mad [15:43] scunizi: k, it's good to go. The script previously was K09 and that's the only difference... with it being S91, it's good to go. That's the only difference I can see [15:44] Pici: aha, so it can be updatet to 10.04. is that an option that wasn't available with previous releases?

I have tried the other option with lesser graphics (cant recall the exact name) but that yields the same. [16:03] AdvoWork: S3's are a pain.. and I've never done it.. at best they seem to be hit and miss.. do you have a pci/pcie/agp port on your motherboard you could add a different card too?

[16:07] No, you're an invalid with this channel until you ask a question. [16:07] Jerry_yuleibest: no problem.. you're here.. protocol is to just ask your question and if someone knows the answer they will pipe up [16:07] solotim: I would delete something. [16:08] solotim: how big is your hdd/root partition? [16:08] Hi, all. Is there a way to make a bootable Ubuntu USB stick without Unetbootin? Via dd, for example? [16:08] Actually i have a question on key binding on shell scripting. [16:08] ilembitov: if you have a .img, yes [16:08] swithch10: only 3.8G has been allocated for / [16:08] solotim: you might see if "sudo apt-get clean" doesn't free up a fait bit of space. [16:08] solotim: Have you tried runnning apt-get autoclean and apt-get autoremove? [16:08] hi [16:08] anyone have advice or know of a guide on creating .deb packages? [16:08] Jerry_yuleibest: be specific in your question.

[16:10] solotim: also check /var/log for large files [16:10] solotim: try "clean". autoremove and autoclean probably won't do much, depending on the age of your install. [16:10] Can I get some help here with the Wubi Ubuntu installer? [16:10] Hello. I am having problems installing Wubi on this Dell Vostro laptop. When I reboot and select ubuntu I get only a black screen after the disk image loads. I have tried the other option with lesser graphics (cant recall the exact name) but that yields the same.

[16:11] solotim: You're probably best off doing as ascheel said and changing the partition size. [16:12] solotim: uninstall packages or grow your partition. your only 2 feasible options.. [16:12] ascheel: thanks, but no big file there [16:12] !wubi | industrial [16:12] industrial: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [16:12] solotim: also, consider moving certain directories onto a larger partition, and point to them with symbolic links. /var is a good candidate for this sort of thing. [16:12] ayam_jago: thanks [16:13] solotim: it's not a matter of big files, but it's not very difficult for an entire operating system to fill up 4 GB of space === RootChaos is now known as RCZA[w] [16:13] my wireless network keeps saying its disconnected im using 9.10 ive installed the hardware its not displaying the networks only the wired connection works [16:13] Hi, Is there any way I can edit fla (flash source) files in ubuntu [16:13] HYSE: which card, exactly?

[16:14] i dont know how do i check [16:14] hi [16:14] solotim: which ones dont you use? uninstall it/them.. [16:14] is it possible to start the network-manager within gnome by hand? [16:14] what's a good password management program for ubuntu? [16:15] kraut: start it by hand?? you can use iwconfig/ifconfig instead of NM.. [16:15] HYSE: there should be a hardware inspection tool on one of the gnome menus [16:15] switch10_: no, i need NM. i can't see it in my taskbar [16:15] i want to asked openoffice.org word processor [16:15] who can tell me [16:15] switch10_: there are a bunch of various package in xubuntu , I really don't know their dependency, all I have done is uninstalling gnumeric and abiword. [16:15] after `start network-manager`, i'll get this: [16:15] kraut: nm-applet [16:15] start: Job is already running: network-manager [16:15] does anyone know what this mean?

[16:17] sipior: i like you idea. I know how to mount -o loop a file to some path, but what should I do to let xubuntu know when it startup [16:17] solotim: growing your / partiton is not that hard.. and it will give you the best performance. [16:17] ok cool [16:17] sipior: doesn't work [16:17] hello [16:18] solotim: you don't need to play with mount at all. just ensure that you copy the contents of /var (say) precisely to a directory on a large partition. place a symbolic link at /var, pointing to the new directory. [16:18] disappearedng_: care to be more specific? [16:18] hello everyone. i got a hp notebook, and i have dual boot with ubuntu and windows xp. on xp i can use some software as dvio, virtualdub or even regular webcam software to use my sony handicam via firewire as a real time video device. On linux iv tryed kino and kdenlive, but i cant capture from my camera... is it possible? [16:19] I can't draw table while using openoffice.org word processor [16:19] sipior: good, any other directories I can do the same thing? [16:19] sipior: broadcom b 43 wireless driver [16:19] tell me how to fuck that [16:20] datacrusher: Cheese usually works for me. [16:20] solotim: be careful with that. you don't want to move /boot, for example :-) /var and /tmp are easy. [16:20] nyanseik: Please mind your language here. [16:20] sipior: I am trying to install an application called redmine which uses ror [16:20] nyanseik: also, consider making sense. [16:20] sipior: somehow it's failing because of that [16:20] sipior: thanks, I check it now. :) [16:21] sipior: sorry , asking for 'du' option to check size of direcotry and it's children [16:21] disappearedng_: which ruby have you installed?

[16:27] sipior: thank you very much! [16:27] and thank every responser [16:27] solotim: no trouble. be careful with it and you should have no trouble. [16:27] sipior: it was already installed all along [16:27] solotim: Make sure you link them correctly or you'll break your system. [16:28] TomG: ah, I shoud evaluate the risk now [16:29] solotim: Just don't want you to restart and find that it won't load / you can't login. [16:29] solotim: best to keep a terminal open, preferably after running "sudo -i" to get a root shell, until you verify that you can login again with your userid. [16:29] solotim: that way, if sudo gets upset, you can fix it. [16:30] sipior: it comes to my mind that I mannually mount my sda5(fat32) everytime after xubuntu startup. it seems that sda5 is not mounted automatically by system. Is this really ok if I move /home to /media/sda5/home and ln -s it? [16:30] solotim: You should add it to the fstab [16:31] is there a way to launch an app in another session? IE, I ssh in and launch a gui app in a session I know is already running [16:31] solotim: again, a fat32 partition is a poor choice. and yes, what TomG said :-) [16:31] I know I can ssh -X, but I don't want the app on my desktop, I want it on my desktop at home :) [16:32] i have an ADSL2+ connection in my home with dynamically assigned ip. And my home PC ip is in the range of 192.168.1.2. Port forwarding to port 22 "SSH" is enabled. Can I ssh into this box from my work? Connection gets refused [16:32] Typh: vnc ? [16:32] Typh, DISPLAY=:0 appname & [16:32] send the app to a display [16:32] TomG, sipior: thanks, I'm considering converting that fat partition completely. [16:32] sh4d3sl4y3r_, did you install / start ssh on the box ? [16:32] Typh: if from box 1 you want ssh to box 2 and have a GUI app run on box 2 then don't use ssh -X .. just start the app in the ssh session on box 2 and it will open on box 2. i do this all the time with ktorrent [16:33] solotim: you'll feel better, believe me :-) [16:33] sh4d3sl4y3r_ you will need to tell your router to forward ssh to your machine [16:33] idlemind: yes i NAT forwarded it already. and ssh is installed [16:33] however connection gets refused [16:33] though i have a dynamically assigned IP. i keep a note of the changed ips. and try to log in accordingly [16:33] sh4d3sl4y3r_ you'll need to connect to your external ip not the 192.168.1.2 address [16:33] sh4d3sl4y3r_: openssh-server needs to be installed not just ssh [16:33] idlemind : yes i did that === Adi_ is now known as asn [16:34] !shh | sh4d3sl4y3r_ follow this guide. it will help troubleshoot [16:34] ok [16:34] !ssh | sh4d3sl4y3r_ [16:34] sh4d3sl4y3r_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [16:34] bastid_raZor: that doesn't make sense, why would it open on box 2? [16:34] sipior: :) OK, I will do as what said, but I need to move all data from the partition to my portable disk. time-consuming ah, I'll do the other day. Thank you again. [16:34] I get "cannot open display" === asn is now known as Guest60770 [16:34] bastid_raZor: fyi, the ssh metapackage depends on both the client and the server.

[17:20] Can anyone help sort this out? I have vsftpd running, have two users whose homedirs are, let's say, /home/user1 and /home/user2 and two directories, let's say /web/dir1 and /web/dir2 which each have 775 perms. /web/dir1 is owned by the dir1 group and /web/dir2 is owned by the dir2 group. In both /home/user1 and /home/user2 there are two symlinks that point to /web/dir1 and /web/dir2 (ie, 2... [17:20] ...symlinks in each home dir, so both users have links to either web dirs) and both users are members of the dir1 and dir2 groups. User1 is able to log in through SSH or FTP and change dirs into /home/user1/dir1 (mapped to /web/dir1) and user2 can do the same through SSH but not through FTP. As far as I can tell, both users and dirs are set up exactly the same - so why would SSH work for... [17:20] ...user2 but not FTP?

[17:27] Hariharakadan: Both users can log in through SSH. neither are explicitly a member of the ssh group (ssh login through PAM).

[19:00] geekphreak, I can't seem find the way. :( [19:00] !ask | neo_ [19:00] neo_: 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).

[19:21] wrapster: right click panel >> add to panel >> add Trash [19:21] h00k: I thought so too but I've changed themes and it still has the same problem. [19:21] Acoustyk: ask the channel, somebody else might be better to help you [19:22] geekphreak: trash was empty all the while [19:22] wrapster: thats great then [19:22] thats a nice one i have been using it before but this time only need a qmail solution i already have dns in my panel :P [19:22] About how much drive space does the initial install of Ubuntu require?

[19:23] ubuntu under what core does that fall actually? fedora? [19:24] libertiy: Ubuntu is based off Debian [19:24] okay nice :) [19:24] I want to install Ubuntu on an external harddrive, but I don't want the drive to be plugged in to use GRUB to boot the computer I installed from. [19:25] Luther: I'm not sure how you would boot that at all, then [19:25] I want to be able to plug the external drive into any computer, then boot from that drive into Ubuntu [19:25] Luther: just write grub to partition, not to mbr [19:25] Luther: you're going to need some sort of bootloader on that MBR, then [19:25] Luther, so... make you a custom usb ubuntu [19:25] Luther: to boot you need a loader :) [19:26] join #ubuntu+1 [19:26] However, the last time I tried that, the computer I installed Ubuntu looked for GRUB and couldn't find it.

[19:29] hmm so on ubuntu you have exim and postfix are there any easy deployments for that maybe? then i just follow that [19:29] go to "open with other application" when you right lick on a file [19:29] nathan__: if you remove the application it should go [19:29] it doesn't [19:29] nathan__: that's a gconf setting [19:29] I have 3 entries for Bluefish, things like that [19:29] nathan__: it's a drag but you'll have to search gconf for the entries [19:30] couldn't find any [19:30] Time for a long trip [19:30] Hi Guys.. I am having a problem install a perl module using CPAN. It keeps looking for an old version of the URI module. How can I make it install the lates bersion of the module? [19:30] In config.pm urllist is set to ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/CPAN/, and when I do perl -MCPAN -e 'install URI::Escape' I get No such file `URI-1.37.tar.gz'. I can see that ftp://mirrors.kernel.org//pub/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/ has URI-1.54.tar.gz . So the question is, how do I make perl choose the latest version of the module? [19:30] I am trying to run a java application and I get "Java is GCJ.. looking for Sun Java..", what do? [19:30] is there any way to delete folders/entries in gconf? [19:31] still no go with gfxmode of 1024x768.. hummmm [19:31] libertiy: use "tasksel" to select mail server ... [19:31] Deetaha, are you using Lucid? [19:31] morning all... question about evolution mail... cannot pull read emails from the server on initial setup [19:32] Seems more like an issue that gconf doesnt delete the entries [19:32] Firefox, file->quit. It never closes the firefox-bin process although the GUI closes, then I get an error when trying to re-open it that firefox is already open: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system" [19:32] anyone know why bootchart doesnt load after install? is there a bug that anyone knows of ...i cant find an existing bug..but... [19:32] harry-houdini1: logs of bootchart are created at /var/log/bootchart [19:32] time to go, catch you later, have a good one all :) [19:32] can someone help with an evolution mail issue please? [19:33] !anyone | joesin [19:33] joesin: 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? [19:33] thanks h00k [19:33] harry-houdini1: is it creating them? [19:34] is it possible to make gnome start upon login rather than on boot? IE; i will see a simple terminal prompt for login rather than the gui login screen, upon login gnome will start and present the desktop? [19:34] dban'd and started over the other day... set up my gmail account today with evolution... pulls email from server fine, but does not pull read mail... last time I set this up it did... spent an hour reading and have not found a solution yet... [19:34] quit [19:35] buttons840: you'll need to set your default run-level to 3 [19:36] buttons840: that will allow you to login in at the command prompt and you can execute it from there [19:36] Firefox is starting to get annoying :/ Its been closing every 30 seconds after the process has started. Anyone else dealing with that issue? [19:36] !runlevels > idlemind [19:36] idlemind, please see my private message [19:36] More like crashing. [19:36] idlemind, so x starts at run level 4? anything else that will be disabled? [19:36] !runlevels | buttons840 [19:36] buttons840: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [19:36] buttons840, if you want to disable GDM from starting on Karmic see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/boot-to-console---disable-graphical-login-gdm [19:37] buttons840: If you don't want X to start at boot, then you should disable the gdm service: sudo update-rc.d gdm remove [19:37] ahh guess i was wrong on that one ... didn't know that they moved off of that === jnperlin__ is now known as jnperlin [19:37] buttons840: You may need a --force at the end of that too. [19:37] The use of Upstart makes me wonder how one starts the system in what used to be run level 3 (ie. no X) [19:37] How can I remove gcj? [19:37] Pici: that wont work anymore... gdm is now a upstart service [19:38] erUSUL: It should work in Karmic. [19:38] hi there. [19:38] erUSUL: shouldn't it? [19:38] Pici, how would i start it again after disabling it? [19:38] i have an issue with my lucid.when i shutdown or reboot it sends me to the login screen.any help [19:38] buttons840: service gdm start [19:38] ishijoe : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [19:39] ishijoe: #ubuntu+1 [19:39] Pici: afaik it does not you have to edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and comment lines 9-12 or something like that [19:40] weirdly enough, crtl alt f1 - f6 don't work [19:40] Pici: but did not check myself [19:40] I get a tiny bit of text at the top of the screen [19:40] Evolution mail help retrieving all emails on server rather then un-read please! [19:40] hmm [19:41] Plugh: I've successfully started a system without X on 8.04 by simply renaming the gdm binaries. On 9.X I found this didn't work as well, since something in gdm setup seemed needed to get sound working. Go figure... [19:41] Pici, is there an easy way to run a command at login? i know there is the sessions in the startup applications gui, but what file(s) does that gui tool work with? [19:42] Losha, that would be one way to do it. Kind of nasty compared to asking for runlevel 3 on instead of 5 [19:42] And the need to remind yourself to change the name back later [19:43] Hi. I got problem with Wacom Tablet : wacom pen & touch. I user 9.10 ubuntu. Defaults packages xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools, and wacom.ko from new driver ( 0.8.6. ) [19:43] http://pastebin.ca/1868284 - this is xidump -l [19:43] Hey, does anyone know how to disable ssh-agent? [19:43] buttons840: use ~/.profile ? [19:43] but xsetwacom list write nothing [19:43] buttons840, if you're still talking about starting xorg -- "startx" is the command and will start what you specifiy in .xinitrc [19:44] and, I got eight ( 8 ) wacom devices [19:44] Plugh: I agree, but the runlevels stuff is ruined on ubuntu, and there's no longer an inittab to edit. Server editions run without X, so I assume there is some workaround but I never had the patience to find it and went back to 8.04... [19:44] KukMan: I don't know, but try to keep all questions on one line [19:44] h00k, ok ;) [19:45] buttons840, to start GDM run "sudo service gdm start" [19:45] zoidfarb: not quite what you asked, but ssh-add -D is supposed to delete all identities from the agent. [19:46] Losha, that might do the trick. I'd rather not have ssh-agent running at all. (I'm trying test something) [19:47] how do I get Ubuntu One Music Store for Karmic? [19:47] zoidfarb: you might be able to just kill it, or edit out the thing that starts it (*if* you can find it....) [19:47] Losha, you can't seem to kill, because it just kills that one instance, and then a new one starts [19:48] Losha, I followed this info: http://www.rekk.de/bloggy/2008/ssh-on-ubuntu-shh-agent-is-running-per-default/ [19:48] and commented out the line in /etc/X11/Xsession.options [19:48] but it still autostarted [19:48] Is there a place to wget a complete base install in a tarball form? like gentoo stage3 ? [19:49] Losha: I've had to switch to level 3 on occasion when the X config got messed up. The move to Upstart is a bit like adding Pulse audio in the sound system. I had no problem with run levels or audio until Upstart and PulseAudio were added. [19:49] !rquirements [19:49] Plugh: and so say all of us. Trust me, you're not alone.... [19:49] Plugh, I generally agree about Puleadio, but Upstart has actually seemed a lot faster for me [19:49] Aciid, ubuntu music store plugins are only available for lucid [19:50] zoidfarb: temporarily rename /usr/bin/ssh-agent to /usr/bin/ssh-agent.orig. *That* should fix it... === aRC is now known as Guest58451 [19:50] Oer: nvm, i already got it working [19:50] Losha, haha, I hadn't even considered going nuclear on it like that. Good idea. However, as I understand it, ssh-agent launches GNOME (and everything else on the system) as a client to itself. [19:51] Losha, is renaming it going to brutally break my system? [19:51] zoidfarb: Not sure how it made the boot faster but booting is faster. It still has to run all the files that used to be in init.d so I'm not sure what it does differently. Something to look in to later. [19:51] what might be the problem if Ubuntu not able to recognise my Ethernet device [19:51] debabrata_: missing device driver (ie. no kernel module loaded for the device). [19:51] zoidfarb: I won't like to you, I can't guarantee it won't stop X coming up. Might be better off with -D then... [19:51] zoidfarb: like -> lie [19:52] How to fix it [19:52] debabrata_: you have to manually load the driver or there is no driver for it [19:52] debabrata_: lspci | grep -i net [19:52] debabrata_: what device do you have? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:55] its IBM thinkpad [19:55] here is a girl? === cam is now known as Guest56860 [19:55] haha, so much for this: [19:55] $ ssh-add -D [19:55] All identities removed. [19:55] $ ssh-add -L [19:55] ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAqB...... [19:55] zoidfarb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:56] zoidfarb: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent checks to see if /usr/bin/ssh-agent exists first, so going nuclear will probably do 'the right thing', assuming ubuntu hasn't completely instituted some new mechanism.... [19:56] Losha, that sounds good [19:56] Since upgrading my kernel to the .21 revision my nvidia kernel module is failing to install properly (both installing from the .run file and trying to install through synaptic...) Any suggestions? (The ubuntu+1 channel is dead, hoping to get a solution here) [19:56] zoidfarb: seems like nothing works the way the docs say it should these days...

[19:59] maco: geeks are so sad sometimes... [20:01] incorrect: hopefully a temporary situation... [20:01] Losha, ah that is good to know [20:01] scunizi: you're killin me man. :) I gotta know if it worked! [20:01] i wish i had gotten round to making a local mirror [20:01] incorrect: I know, but you can't mirror it all.... [20:02] Losha, just mediabuntu, just current revision [20:02] and binary only [20:02] Losha, thanks for the help. I've renamed ssh-agent, and I'm gonna try rebooting [20:02] !list [20:02] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:03] incorrect: are there no existing mirrors of medibuntu packages? That seems unusual.... [20:03] how is making a mirror of a repository file sharing? [20:03] incorrect: that was ubottu's reply to antares for typing !list [20:03] oh [20:04] I'm from Russia heard about this country? [20:04] pants, oh well i have what i need from their on my laptop [20:05] hi [20:05] incorrect: see http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/medibuntu-repository-down-what-to-do.html [20:05] how are you? [20:06] GroupingClearSky: yes, heard of it. But we have no girls for you here. Just ubuntu computer support....

[20:07] Losha, somehow renaming /usr/bin/ssh-agent didn't seem to do the trick [20:07] c3l: Have you tried Songbird? [20:07] zoidfarb: bummer. Seems like there's no stopping it. Run ps -ax and see what binary is running....

[20:10] still looking for assistance please [20:10] Losha, I'm wondering if some kind of Gnome keyring thing is holding these identities [20:10] anyone else happen to be using the packages.medibuntu.org repos? They appear to currently be down, can someone validate this for me? === amos81 is now known as amosek [20:11] entplex, me too [20:11] ~$ "ps aux | grep agent" gives /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent [20:11] who, oh why, is *.img an unsupported format for brasero? [20:11] osiris, how come this is not in the repos? [20:11] can I share bluetooth from 1 ubuntu to another via bluetooth? [20:11] zoidfarb: that makes even less sense. Why usurp ssh-agent's function into yet another application? Did you run ps -ax ? [20:11] thanks hypn0, maybe i'll shoot a e-mail to the maintainer [20:11] entplex, hypn0: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/medibuntu-repository-down-what-to-do.html [20:12] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qnHzKbHN [20:12] entplex: hypn0: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/medibuntu-repository-down-what-to-do.html [20:12] Pici, yay for mirror!

But it doesn't seem like ssh-agent is running. [20:13] Pici beat me to it... [20:13] which is the irc ubuntu-es ? anybody knows?? [20:13] i have a problem with automount on ubuntu karmic [20:13] !es | jubi [20:13] jubi: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[20:16] dekroning: Karmic Koala [20:16] osiris: thanks [20:16] !clone [20:16] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:16] There is /a -> /mnt/b . If I change to /a and try cd ../ and hitting the [tab] key, it sometimes shows me whats inside / , sometimes the containments of /mnt/b. How can I force bash to behave consistently?

[20:16] I am writing a script that will install java from the .bin download, I have to manually type yes during the install, is there a way to make the script wait for that input or is that auto? [20:17] crucialhoax: why not using the sun-java from repos? [20:17] zoidfarb: I don't see any sign of ssh-agent. I wonder now if ssh-add is lying to you (instead of me :-) [20:18] Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qnHzKbHN [20:18] stoneman: looks like a key of some sort. Have you edited any startup files recently? A typo might easily cause this... [20:18] llutz, It is old. I like to use the newest one. One of the commands is ./jre-x-x-x-x then after that I have to input "yes" but in the script I have another command after that [20:18] crucialhoax: look at the "yes" command, it might help [20:18] Losha, ssh-add definitely seems to lie to me before. When it claimed all the identities were deleted, and then "ssh-add -l" still shows a bunch [20:19] llutz, thanks :) [20:19] zoidfarb: what about the thing you were testing. Does it behave as though there are no keys? [20:19] HI All! [20:19] tring to install sun-java6-jdk package on 10.04 64bit and getting no installation candiadte found error (multiverse is enebled in sources list, had also tried apt-get update). Any ideas? [20:19] ARTSIOM : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [20:20] Losha, no, it behaves as though it's taking the keys automatically from ssh-agent. But the box I'm going to be running the script on *doesn't* have ssh-agent, so I wanted my desktop to behave similarly. [20:20] Losha I think that nothing has changed, I am new in ubuntu world... [20:20] Why can't I do ./script.py on a symlinked script [20:21] Xeross: is the target script +x? [20:21] zoidfarb: I understand. Currently we're batting zeros unfortunately.... [20:21] G_A_C: I assumed it was, but guess what :P [20:21] :) [20:22] Losha, thanks a lot for your advice. I'm pretty stumped. I'm going to try killing some Gnome keyring stuff. If that doesn't work, I'll probably just try to mount the remote box with sshfs and develop over there. === Votan is now known as Votan|off [20:23] stoneman: Try an experiment. Open a terminal and type 'bash -x .bashrc' and see if you get the same message...

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:26] and some more ... but yes it's same [20:27] znxtch: It;s sometimes laggs a bit but it's OK for now [20:27] stoneman: ok, so the problem is in your .bashrc file. Try cut&paste lines from there into another window until you find the line that gives the error. I will be back in about 90 minutes...

Trying to do as much as I can with it, which means the WM/DE needs to take up as little resources as possible. I've narrowed the choices to Enlightenment and LXDE, and trying to decide which is lighter [20:34] Ahh and another thing [20:35] Gremnon: XFCE? [20:35] Gremnon: use df, free, ps, htop to decide [20:35] #ubuntu-pl [20:35] hello everybody [20:35] clrg, I've already tried XFCE, it's good, but it can't match LXDE or Enlightenment [20:35] Losha, FYI, disabling that "feature" in Gnome and then restarting X11/Gnome did finally do the trick [20:35] I have an old PC: I wanted to install there UBUNTU 9.10 but the installation didn't even started [20:35] there was any error [20:36] llutz, that's what I've be using, but either I need to interpret the results better, or I just don't get it [20:36] karol_: What did the error message say? And what kind of computer was it, a PowerPC processor perhaps? [20:36] clrg: Intel 450 mhz ^^ 512 simm ram and that's all [20:37] How would I install ubuntu on an external drive? [20:37] clrg: there was no error msg... something appeared but then disspeared... thats all [20:37] clrg: I don't know what was written there cause it suddenly disappeared [20:37] Gremnon, looks like LXDE is a little lighter on memory then XFCE - article using 10.04 comparing DEs at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 [20:37] clrg: :/ [20:37] karol_: So Ubuntu tried to boot but crashed.

[20:37] clrg: yes [20:37] guntbert: yes [20:37] :P [20:38] I've checked this at all [20:38] Do anyone have a favorite email client, I am looking to switch but don't know what to go with? [20:38] ZykoticK9, I've reached that already, I'm trying to compare LXDE to Enlightenment (aka E17) [20:38] Xpistos: Thunderbird [20:38] It was something like "couldn't display ... -> ... mean i don't know what was written there":> [20:38] Gremnon, i haven't got a comparison of those two i'm affraid -- best of luck [20:38] karol_: Did you try another distribution? Could also be a hardware problem. [20:38] clrg: I want one with antivirus support and new versions of thundbird don't have it [20:39] clrg: tried but half of distros didn't worked [20:39] Xpistos: What do you need antivirus for?? [20:39] clrg: to be on the safe side [20:39] clrg: I can use pirated windows but it's slower and illegal [20:39] Xpistos|work, you'll be hard pressed to find one with antivirus included...

I don't want to spread anything [20:40] there are known remote root's in mantis 1.1. have they been fixed in ubuntu's mantis package, or will it remain vulnerable until lucid?

I wan´t to install gnash 0.8.7. The repositories only have 0.8.6 [20:41] karol_: I'd say 4-5GB. If you cut it down, maybe 3 [20:41] ubuntu running on mac mini [20:41] Xpistos|work, i just don't think you'll find a linux email client with anti-virus is all.

[20:45] clrg: server [20:45] karol_: We do not support anything other than Ubuntu here, if you need advice for other distros, please use ##linux [20:45] amani: the newest one is the default option, You can leave them on there without wasting too much space. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Ubuntu does a better job of cleaning out older versions for you now? (so you won't get a list of 30, but you'll have a couple in case something went wrong with a kernel update, you can pick an older version) [20:45] .. [20:45] Ubottu: thanks for reminding us the rules [20:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:45] karol_: Then use Ubuntu Server Edition. Should take less disk space, since there's no need for a GUI [20:45] Pici: you know what? I'm not talking with you so could you keep that to yourself? [20:46] clrg: I will try to do it [20:46] karol_: But seriously; a server with a 450MHz processor?

[20:49] I know how to install a package, packages in the repositories are all outdated [20:49] enthusiast: The easy way is to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg as root and delete the entry, however, it will most likely come back after a kernel update. Not sure how to stop that. [20:49] rsr: Yes, they are outdated. And they most likely won't be updated. [20:49] !latest | rsr [20:49] rsr: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

[20:49] ZykoticK9, getting this erro..http://paste.ubuntu.com/418819/;can you please tell me what to do? [20:49] rsr, if you really want the latest, and don't want to have to wait for it to be packaged, have a look at the GNash website and read how to compile it from source [20:49] rsr, you can search https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas for an updated version [20:50] Pici: it looks like Mantis doesn't generally ask for CVEs. :( there are however many XSS attacks mentioned in the 1.2 changelog and 1.1 is now officially unmaintained: http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/changelog_page.php [20:50] I have a weird thing going on. If I type the word transducer in google search in firefox or chrome the browser will disappear. It crashes without a trace. Anyone heard of this?

I'm still looking for a way to mask my recovery partition from grub 2... [20:51] ZykoticK9, what can be the sol? [20:51] nanajoth, here's a good link to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [20:51] ok im thinking about making new distro where could i find page where is also FVM and other light window manager screenshots like in http://www.boxshots.org/style/ but with rating and filtering by window manager [20:51] sab, i know as much as you do [20:51] Next1: try launching firefox from the terminal, just type firefox. Do your search and see if there's any hint on why it exited. [20:51] getting this erro..http://paste.ubuntu.com/418819/;can anyone please tell me what to do?

[20:54] Next1: Any other system instabilities? Random crashes? I'd look to running a memtest [20:54] I am using Intel graphics and when I drag a screen or move it slightly the text blurs a little, is that normal? [20:54] is there a way to have multiple desktops [20:55] realcoolguy: Everything seems fine. I rebooted just to see and it still does it. I'll start a mem test before I go home tonight. [20:55] Stalafin: Take a look at the manpage for setterm, I think what you want is in there. [20:55] like on each diff. workspace a new panel layout and desktop [20:55] is there any way to copy a file such that if there is an error the partial destination file is removed? [20:55] Next1: I guess you can try launching from the boot-cd and get a clean environment, that might help narrow your problem down to hardware or software. [20:55] Pici: likely; however, where is the info saved? [20:56] Pici: i guess setterm -blank off; where can i make that permanent though? i guess bashrc, but for example in my distri the default seems to be off anyhow [20:56] I'm cp ing files from discs that are scratched-up, and I only want to keep the fully successfully copied files; and I'm trying to automate it [20:56] getting this erro..http://paste.ubuntu.com/418819/;can anyone please tell me what to do?...I am really new in linux(ubuntu) so dont know what to do need help [20:56] When it's said that Desktop LTS gets 3 years of support and Server gets 5, does that mean that the Desktop-y apps like Gnome/KDE and browsers are what drops off the update list? Or is there something deeper going on? [20:56] realcoolguy: Very strange, just the word transducer??? I'll test everything out. [20:56] sab: Visit the URL provided and download the file as suggested. The message tells you exactly what do do! [20:57] Stalafin: I'm not sure where it would be saved, if at all. I'd stick it in your shell's rc file.

No Linux operating system needs NTFS [21:00] h00k: gparted uses an old version of NTFS. Vista and 7 won't install on it and will try to format it again. [21:01] realcoolguy: I can't google the error because if I try it crashes. [21:01] how do i install all packages [21:02] levar: why would you want to do that? [21:02] levar: Do you have 20TB of disk space? [21:02] im new to linux sorry [21:02] 20Tb x 20 [21:02] levar: that's impossible, as some packages conflict with others. [21:02] so when I use the Gnome GUI to "share" a folder, is that going to use SMB (samba)? [21:03] levar: Just install the packages you need. You can't install everything. [21:03] brad_, yes [21:03] does xubuntu have samba [21:03] levar: if you're new, you also might want to check out #ubuntu-beginners [21:03] brad_: Yes. [21:03] levar: All versions can install Samba, yes. [21:03] Next1: you could try a non-graphical web browser, links, lynx, e-links to try and get around your google problem as a short term solution. [21:04] how would i do it for xubuntu [21:04] clrg, when i was typing mv ...../tmp its giving me this error....bash: mv jdk-6u20-linux-x64 /tmp: No such file or directory [21:04] levar: Same as for any other version. Try starting with synaptic. [21:04] sab: Are you sure you are in the right directory? And did you type the filename correctly?

If you are in the right directory, typed the filename correctly, and typed the target directory (/tmp) correctly, then it has to work. There must be an error. [21:11] sab: did you try mv jdk ? should give you a large part of the file name [21:11] guntbert, yes [21:11] FFForever: I've found out how to connect my iPod Touch with 3.0, but I haven't found out a good syncing program [21:11] sab: and what happened? [21:12] yshavit, amarok or banshee would be nice [21:12] guntbert, then i just write /tmp [21:12] FFForever: yeah, unfortunately the solution I found doesn't work with those. And I forget right now what it was... [21:12] Where does Ubuntu download the Ubuntu flavor of the nvidia driver it finds through Hardware Drivers? [21:13] I have some apps that leak memory. does it make sense to create a minimal virtual machine to run them in, let them leak and reboot the machine when its out of memory? I don't want to reboot my real machine [21:13] cant connect to an external display who got the answer [21:13] FFForever: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-iphoneipod-touch-using-usbin-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [21:13] hi, the fams in my laptop don't work i suspect is because sth replace bios hw management cose when in gub prompt they run properly, any ideas? [21:13] BusMaster: That would not be a guarantee that the leaked memory is purged. [21:13] piccardTE: is your machine overheating? [21:14] yes [21:14] sab: no - I was asking about the part immediately after - you will get a large part but not a complete file name - you have to press a second time for a choice, then you continue until the file name is really complete [21:14] clrg, but if i reboot the vm, won't it be purged? the apps leaking them will essentially be using the vm's memory and if I reboot it... ? [21:14] clrg: How would it not guarantee that? [21:15] yshavit: you're telling me this thing actually lets one put pirated music onto their iPhone? [21:15] guntbert, yes its works now..:-) [21:15] !pm | piccardTE [21:15] piccardTE: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:15] sab: problem solved? what was wrong? [21:15] piccardTE: I'm not sure , keep checking with the channel [21:15] MilkmanDan: If you reboot a machine, without powering it off and waiting say 2 minutes, it is possible to recover data stored in the RAM modules. If you reboot a VM, it will just free the RAM it's claimed to run it, then boot again, claim some RAM (not necessarily the same blocks...) and so on. [21:15] dabaR: I'm telling you it lets you put mp3s on your iphone. Whether you pay for those is a DADT issue as far as I'm concerned [21:15] ok [21:16] yshavit: I had no idea it can be done. Sweet. [21:16] clrg: I think you misunderstand what BusMaster is asking, then. [21:16] dabaR: relatively newish, I think :) [21:16] guntbert, not yet [21:16] MilkmanDan: He wants to purge the leaked memory? [21:16] clrg: Yes. [21:17] Rebooting a virtual machine will certainly accomplish that. [21:17] MilkmanDan: Definitely not. Do you know how memory allocation in the Linux kernel works? [21:17] clrg: the memory allocated by the vm will be clean once the vm is rebooted, and then re-allocated once the vm is started. this will effectively work, it may not be the best solution, but it works. [21:17] sab: could you please be a little more verbose? I find it hard to understand your situation [21:18] clrg, MilkmanDan here is an example. I run spotify under wine which makes gnome-settings-daemon leak memory..it then brings my whole machine to a halt..so I though running spotify under wine in a vm will help. the vm's memory is used up, then i reboot hte vm [21:18] h00k: The memory is not clean. It is marked clean. The data is still there, waiting to be overwritten by the next program claiming the blocks. [21:18] guntbert, i was trying sudo dpkg --configure -a and getting this error.........http://paste.ubuntu.com/418819/ [21:18] I have a problem with xmodmap -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Fi2yts5D [21:18] clrg: but its not allocated and is therefore 'free.' this is the desired result. [21:19] h00k: Then you confuse the terms "purged" as in wiped, cleaned, and "free", as in unclaimed. [21:19] BusMaster: That sounds good. [21:19] MilkmanDan, thanks..I'll try it then [21:19] Hi [21:20] sab: so you downloaded the file and tried to copy/move it ? [21:20] has anyone gotten any version of ubuntu to run on the newest macbook pros? [21:20] MilkmanDan, is there a way the leaking memory can "escape" out of the vm and start eating the memory in my host machine? [21:20] guntbert, yes thats i did min ago,was jdk..... [21:20] BusMaster: There shouldn't be, no. [21:20] I tried today but it never actually booted to live [21:20] Emptymag, i'm running it on macbookpro5,5 no sure if that's the latest one though [21:20] It shouldn't really escape Wine, either. [21:20] * clrg has to go [21:21] no i have the new 7,1 just came today [21:21] BusMaster: consider using programs that don't have memory leaks [21:21] btw its beautiful [21:21] h00k, i _want_ to run spotify..there is no native linux client. It works under wine, but the combination leaks. I just have to live with it [21:21] sab: and then you said: "yes its works now..:-)" - what worked? [21:22] guntbert, mv [21:22] I can't connect to my ubuntu by nokia e51 using putty via ssh. I can connect using another one computer. I have log, so where i can paste it? [21:22] pastie.org [21:22] BusMaster: Would it leak under a regular windows OS?... might want to consider a Windows VM? [21:22] MilkmanDan, unfortunately, it does escape out of wine https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/485923 or I am misunderstanding something [21:23] I installed ubuntu but did not export my pgp key, now I cannot decrypt my pgp files. Any suggestions? [21:23] sab: I have to tell you that your *very* short answers are stretching ma patience a bit - so the mv did work and the file is in /tmp now? [21:23] realcoolguy, it won't leak under windows..but I tried to run windows 7 in a VM with 1gig ram (my laptop has 2 gigs ram) and both my laptop and win7 vm became dead slow. so I am thinking maye ubuntu minimal will work with 512 megs ram === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [21:24] guntbert, i m sorry for my writing,yes mv work and the file is in tem now [21:24] BusMaster: I was thinking more of a stripped down XP. :) [21:24] anyone an good idea, why sound on xdesktop is good, but when i start xbmc, sound becomes bad [21:24] crucialhoax: without your key, you're kinda out of luck [21:25] h00k: I have no options? [21:25] sab: ok, is it owned by root.root ? [21:25] where could i find page where is also FVM and other light window manager modification screenshots like in http://www.boxshots.org/style/ but with ratings so i could find best by filtering popular and filtering by window manager name so i could find popular on each window manager [21:25] crucialhoax: if you had, gpg would be senseless [21:25] guntbert, no idea,i m very new in linux [21:25] !crosspost | Kangarooo [21:25] Kangarooo: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [21:25] Hi, i am using "places > search for files" in ubuntu, in the search phrase i am typing "*\**" - should this not find files with *'s in the middle of the name? [21:25] realcoolguy, maybe it'll work. but my experience is that windows generally doesn't work and if i have to fiddle anyway, I might as well fiddle with linux, because linux works :) [21:26] !themes | Kangarooo [21:26] Kangarooo: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [21:26] guys does Ubuntu not recognize a HDMI display? [21:26] llutz: correct. well then, my mistake I think I can recreate some of them, but some not. [21:26] h00k: thx finaly somebody answer :) [21:26] I have a card which had DVI out and HDMI out and would like to use 2 displays but I could not even get Ubuntu to see a single display connected via HDMI [21:27] Kangarooo: I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, but might be a start [21:27] sab: please paste the output of ls -l /tmp/jdk* (if that is one or two lines, else use !pastebin) [21:27] crucialhoax: Depending on what you've done with the drive you may be able to pay for someone to recover the old files. [21:27] But that may not be worth it to you. [21:27] jcrawford: I've had no problems with Ubuntu's detection of HDMI displays. Interesting you haven't been able to get them to talk. I was a bit shocked at how well it just 'worked'. What sort of displays are you hooking them up to? [21:28] MilkmanDan: They weren't that important. I will deal with it. I thought I had everything covered. [21:28] hey guys :P [21:28] guntbert, o/p is ...ls-l: command not found [21:28] jcrawford, it recognizes it, but does the hdmi device provide details about what kind of configuration it has [21:28] I've been using freebsd/debian for the last 10 years (maybe longer...) after 2 years of slackware [21:29] I've recently moved to ubuntu [21:29] sab: be more careful please -- I said ls -l (not ls-l) [21:29] sab: ls -l is what you would want, not ls-l [21:29] But I saw that centos is used a lot in ip pbxes... how does it compare to ubuntu?

You might want to check your fans, and heatsinks to make sure everything is spinning and in order (not completely clogged with dust for example).

[21:53] its smooth [21:54] trevor: well sounds like your 3d drivers are in right. I'll be honest I avoid compiz because I don't like dealing with the possible problems I have seen. Hopefully there's a compiz pro who can help direct you :) [21:54] alright, thanks though [21:55] any dvdrip/transcode users in here, question regarding transcode and dvdrip [21:55] why is the medibuntu repo so damn slow to update?

Is this a resolution question? :) [22:00] jason_, ask what you want to [22:01] !tell jason_ about ask [22:01] jason_, please see my private message [22:01] how do you access the trash, or when you hit delete does it auto delete it from your system [22:01] ubuntu-usr: why do you want to SSH through an ad-hoc wireless? [22:01] the IP address depends on what network you use [22:02] but you have the wrong address there probably [22:02] jason: when you say 'trash' where are you referring to? Is it something inside a virtual OS? [22:02] yeah [22:02] or in this case, if you just create an ad-hoc network you can't connect straight because the phone doesn't get an IP address from the ad-hoc network [22:03] you'd need a DHCP server for that, but that's probably not what you're trying to do [22:03] jason_: is this an ubuntu VM? [22:04] tmh_, nope. it's correct. i have checked it in network manager. [22:04] anybody good at CPR for X? [22:05] does anyone know how I can debug the bootup? what service starts after fsck, it's hanging? [22:05] ubuntu-usr: is that the wireless IP address or the computer's ethernet address?

[22:08] snaga: What's the problem? You cannot log into Gnome? X freezes? [22:08] X freezes. No kbd/mouse [22:08] Screen garbled? Funny colours? [22:09] tmh_, on the phone i'm discovering wireless network, then i'm try to use ssh. anyway phon is client not server [22:09] No my screen is fine... [22:10] How do you know? No kbd, no mouse... [22:10] Is there a config file I can delete or edit to get my X inputs back? [22:10] tmh_, wireless connection is successful but then i can't connect [22:11] tmh_, i have checked in phone is detected network in ad hoc mode. it is [22:11] yeah it's not about that [22:11] you phone doesn't have an IP address [22:11] or have you set one? or set up a dhcp server? [22:12] I had a similar problem yesterday, I think I installed ATI proprietary drivers and all of a sudden, I was thrown back to console, and when I rebooted, X froze every time.

That was the start of my troubles. [22:12] yeah, ad-hoc doesn't work like that [22:13] use another network connection [22:13] wherea logs in the server should be? [22:13] I only lost my mouse and keys when I started messing with xserver-xorg packages. [22:13] /var/log/daemon.log [22:13] Then remove it. It should bring everything back. [22:13] Thanks h00k. [22:13] I tried installing Ubutu 9.10 on my powerbook G4 '12 1.33 GHz mac. During upgrade, toward the last part of installing the new packages, cpu usage went up to 100% and shut down soon after. Any ideas on what went wrong? [22:13] msaadn: no prob :) [22:14] Replacing my video driver packages the way they were did not fix my display.

[22:15] realcoolguy: iotop looks good. It's not in the 8.04 repo, though. I had to grab it directly from the iotop site [22:15] hello [22:16] If you don't see Windows and Ubuntu at boot you are bypassing Grub, right? [22:16] snaga: left shift iirc [22:16] iirc? [22:16] rly? hm... how bout dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [22:16] snaga: sorry, if i recall correctly [22:16] Can I do that in a rescue shell?

[22:33] Glowball, it's still missing some "key" ubuntu required apps (like network browsing or something?) [22:33] blik: could be an encoding problem if they aren't utf8 (if I want to view files in shift-js or euc_jp I need to change locale to ja_JP.utf8 or reencode the file into utf8 with something like iconv) [22:33] Ah.. So probably no LUbuntu iso either. [22:33] Typos_King: hi - you can't seem to do it with one click in ooo writer, can you?

(like the dd command, except it won't thrash your failing disk until it gets everything it can off of it.) The LinuxLeo site (even though it' for forensics) has excellent instructions. The pdf is here http://www.linuxleo.com/Docs/linuxintro-LEFE-3.78.pdf and the page to start looking at would be 113. Feel free to read the whole chapter on disk imaging however.

[23:03] Ven]n, can you examine the drive from another OS or even a live cd?" [23:03] yep [23:04] hold on a sec [23:04] ah, grub IS installed to main drive [23:04] Ven]n: anyhow.... you may want to install grub in the usb stick for it to boot into it, mount your usb stick with ubuntu in it, and do a say, it mounts as /dev/sdb1, then do a -> sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1; when done, try it, make sure bios checks the usb devices before hd [23:04] sup [23:05] When I install ubuntu does it erase the entire drive or does it just change the partitions? [23:05] Then write data? [23:05] you can choose where you want to install ubuntu [23:05] I know this. [23:05] on what existing parition [23:05] Ven]n: it'll give you a warning that you shouldn't stick grub in a particular partition and such, nevermind it though :) [23:05] WebDawg it is up to You, what you choose in partition step , it will be done [23:05] Typos_King, my setup is to press 0 when booting and then have the option of choosing USB [23:05] But i installed ubuntu on a drive that I need to recover data from. [23:06] Ven]n, what Typos_King said, just do a fdisk -l fires and MAKE SURE /dev/sd** is the drive you want [23:06] Does it format the partition that I create? [23:06] if I now start the copmuter without usb key it says error : no such device [23:06] hehe [23:06] grub rescue> [23:06] or does it just create the partition? [23:06] *first [23:06] WebDawgII, both [23:06] Oer, so it zeros the drive? [23:07] how do I remove grub easily from the main drive? [23:07] as it now needs the usb key to boot [23:07] hehe [23:07] Ven]n: right, cuz is looking for the missing 'grub' files/folder, is trying to find them from the usb stick which isn't plugged in or isn't mapped as hd0 [23:07] Ven]n: what's in the 'main drive'? vista? win7? [23:08] win7 [23:08] My current installation is broken. How does one do an ubuntu recovery from a live cd. [23:08] paradoxx: depends on what is broken [23:08] WebDawgII, ubuntu can increase a partition, make the ext3/4 filesystem and format it. [23:08] Ven]n: not sure you can remove it per se, you will need to boot using the win7 bootable cd/dvd and restore NTLDR boot loader back in [23:08] paradoxx in which way broken? [23:09] Thats what I am asking Oer does it quick format by default or full format? [23:09] paradoxx: define 'broken' [23:09] WebDawgII, only if it is vista/win7 , let win7 increase the partition to be safe [23:09] I knew I shouldve chosen the advanced settings and not "go go go, install ubuntu" :p [23:09] erUSUL, zaxonspox, Typos_King I was installing application updates. And now it won't start [23:10] no automatic fuill format, you get a choice screen [23:10] Ven]n: instalation by Win not linux :P'go go go' is in [23:10] I installed an OS over an encrypted drive. [23:10] paradoxx: boot from the live-cd and try giving it a -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda1; assuming your installation is at sda1 :) [23:10] I wanna try and decrypt it [23:10] hmm [23:10] and recover data. [23:10] erUSUL, zaxonspox, Typos_King I also tried starting previous kernels and I still have the problem. The computer gets to the Ubuntu loading screen and nothing more [23:11] Typos_King, It says that command not found. I'll install it [23:11] WebDawgII, install over a encrypted drive, i think that is not a good idea [23:11] paradoxx: while in Ubuntu loading screen press CTRL+ALT+F1 to see what is going on [23:12] or "esc" [23:12] zaxonspox, I tried that also, but it just gives me a terminal with flashing "_" no login [23:12] Typos_King, think I can use that supergrubdisk and chose one of the windows options [23:12] Typos_King, WHat is the package name for that command, it says it can't find it [23:12] Ven]n: on another note, if you 'data dump' the mbr before any changes, you can always put it back, for example I install say win32, then I do a -> sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=sda_mbr.img and that backs it up, and can always put it back with -> sudo dd if=sda_mbr.img of=/dev/sda thus sticking back NTLDR or whatever it was in the mbr, grub/else [23:12] paradoxx: boot from the live-cd and try giving it a -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda1; assuming your installation is at sda1 :) [23:13] paradoxx: do you have a GRUB botloader menu? [23:13] confusing.. ;) [23:13] paradoxx: e2fsck is in the cd [23:13] hello, my computer freezes if i set visual effects to normal or extra after installing last version of ubuntu ? [23:14] Ven]n: you don't happen to have 'Hiren's bootable cd', do you? [23:14] when i tooltip popup appear it's freezes [23:14] hi [23:14] allo forestbear [23:14] or a "MBR-Fix-Utility" boot-disk? [23:14] auf_ then don't set them :) hehehe [23:14] hi all, i have received the new mpeg update from ubuntu dev now flash is working but not all of them [23:15] Typos_King, I do, but I prefer the supergrubdisk I can easily install with unetbootin :) [23:15] Typos_King, as its a netbook without a CDROM [23:15] Typos_King, That commany fails. Returns http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Vsd7eDSC [23:15] supergrubdisk fixes mbr [23:15] ;) [23:15] Typos_King, i want to install compiz effects what i can do ? [23:15] zaxonspox, yea I do [23:15] Typos_King, thats a horrible way.. it doesnt backup just the mbr, it backups every part of the drive, even empty space. Clonezilla is a much better solution with compression and excluding empty space.. === marienz is now known as Guest64875 [23:16] Ven]n: har har har, hiren's cd has an option from the menu to say -> windows booot [with ntldr] <-- or so, that one boots in win32 when NTLDR is not in the mbr [23:16] bs=512 count=1 backs up the mbr. [23:16] anyone knows how to check and update backport wireless [23:16] paradoxx: can you choose from menu Ubuntu rescue mode? [23:17] Typos_King, doing the grub-install to sdb1 now [23:17] warning.. etc etc.. BAD IDEA .. etc :p [23:17] duffydack: ahemm.. true.... I meant to say -> dd if=/dev/sda of=sda_mbr.img bs=512 count=1; :) [23:17] zaxonspox, I tried that option as well and it didn't boot either. Got to the black loading screen and didn't go further === Guest64875 is now known as marienz [23:17] Ven]n: yeah, it says that, nevermind it though :) [23:17] grub-setup: error: if you really want blocklists, use --force [23:18] need to rerun with --force? [23:18] Typos_King, Any thoughts on that error? [23:18] auf_: to check if you are able to use compiz run this script http://blogage.de/files/9124/download?compiz-check [23:18] Ven]n: what did you run? [23:18] got a warn: embedding is not possible. grub can only be installed in this setup by using bloclists. however, blocklists are unreliable and its use is discouraged [23:18] sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1 === fipu is now known as fipu|Away [23:19] hello everyone [23:19] Do anyone know the command line for 7zip? [23:19] Ven]n: sure... try with --force..... though it may have gone ok [23:19] ill reboot and check [23:20] jaymz: 7z [23:20] and then do force if it didnt work [23:20] jaymz: type in 7 let autocomplete do it [23:20] nah, didnt work, same blinking - in top left corner [23:20] no grub showing up [23:21] paradoxx: it means your installation is not at sda1, check with -> sudo fdisk -l; where it's at [23:21] Typos_King, Ok, turns out i did it to the wrong partition. It is checking now. I don't think it is a hardware issue though [23:21] how i find out wat kernel my distro is runnin? thx [23:21] Typos_King, I STRONGLY think it is an error that happened while updating [23:21] ddrj: uname -a [23:21] thx [23:21] thx guys [23:22] zaxonspox, thank you this script checked an everything is ok [23:22] paradoxx: yes, but wouldn't lock you out of X though, you can always resume broken downloads from apt-get or dpkg [23:22] can I have different panels for different desktops, using gnome === chat15759 is now known as joyce [23:23] but the main problem if i tried to set visual effect to anything but none computer freeze and need to be restarted manually [23:23] Ven]n: i would [re]install into USB by Method2 in this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [23:23] Typos_King, What if it was an update to 10.04? [23:23] how do i install drivers found in a .tar.gz file? [23:24] auf_: type in terminal glxgears [23:24] zaxonspox, too much work, hehe.. ill do the grub-install --force and then fix mbr with supergrubdisk ;) [23:24] paradoxx: that.... can't say.... I'd not do an update myself... I'd do a full install of it, and then install my packages :), I do back up all my .debs [23:24] nimbiotics, more than likely you don't need to,,, what driver? for what hardware? [23:24] auf_: it shoul show you animation of gears, if it wont freez you pc [23:24] nimbiotics : unpack that file and see if there is read me file or install file maybe you will have to compile === derp is now known as Cream [23:25] Typos_King, I have been using 10.04 for a while and the update last night is the first one to break my installation. Is there an easy way to recover my system? [23:25] zvacet: madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz [23:25] zaxonspox, it showed animated gears [23:25] so ? [23:25] hmm.. [23:25] nimbiotics, again ... more than likely you don't need to,,, what driver? for what hardware? [23:25] zaxonspox, 4020 frames in 5.0 seconds [23:26] Typos_King, so now I installed grub to the usb key but it still wont show up when booting [23:26] auf_: didnt freez? [23:26] yes [23:26] zvacet: for wireless card, im trying to use aircrack-ng [23:26] Typos_King, on another note. How did you backup all your debs? [23:26] Ven]n: grub is in mbr but no menu [23:26] zaxonspox, yes it didnot [23:27] auf_: if you choose axtra effects can you shwitch by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1? [23:27] zaxonspox, thing is, I want it on the usb key.. so grub only shows if I choose to boot computer from usb [23:27] SeaPhor: for wireless card, im trying to use aircrack-ng [23:27] paradoxx: images are usually the best solutions for this cases :), thus one expects folks to have things back up for any discrepancy should it occurr, [23:28] nimbiotics, what card? what does lspci -nn say? [23:28] zaxonspox, Typos_King I'm currently running a live cd. Is there a way that I can update packages on the local installation from the livecd? [23:28] is there a way to setup different panels for each workspace? [23:28] zaxonspox, no my pc hange up and i can not do anything but restarting it manually ! [23:28] Typos_King, I can access all my files etc via the live cd. [23:28] Typos_King, any other suggestions than grub-isntall? :) [23:28] paradoxx: whenever something gets installed using the package manager, it dumps the debs under /var/cache/apt/archive I grab them from there :), you can also use AptOnCD http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [23:29] nimbiotics, have you looked in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers,,,,,, AFTER enabling the extended extras and getting all updates? [23:29] auf_: then after restart and login check your logs for warnings or errors [23:29] zaxonspox, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307001 [23:29] Ven]n: .... for now, I'd say retry it, it has worked for me for external installs well [23:29] SeaPhor: its an atheros ar5001, i dnt know how 2 use that lspci command ... im a noob... [23:29] zaxonspox, please check this link i have the same card and the same problem how you can help me ? [23:30] np nimbiotics , i'll help [23:30] Typos_King, hehe, ok [23:30] SeaPhor: thx [23:30] Hello, dose anyone know why there is not the line "inet addr :xxxxx" in result of ifconfig in ubuntu10.04? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rmGwshCt [23:30] auf_: let me read it [23:30] ok [23:30] Hey, does anybody know where to get the new ubuntu branding font? Is there even a complete font yet? [23:30] !lucid > fqh [23:30] fqh, please see my private message [23:30] Typos_King, ok, just looked at aptoncd. It looks useful, but is there a way to recover my current installation? [23:31] paradoxx: You should be able to chroot to the install and update [23:31] auf_: you have and integrated Intel GFX card? [23:31] fqh, lucid support at #ubuntu+1 [23:31] histo, how do I do that? [23:32] thanks [23:32] Hey, is it possible to have some of my drives automatically mounted when I log in under my main user account, but other users would have to put in the admin password [23:32] paradoxx: e2fsck -c; does a 'disk check' per se, it checks/fixes files system integrity and checks for 'bad blocks'.... so... that'd fix that, sometimes it may be doable to fix an install, but often may take you 20times longer than a reinstall [23:32] Typos_King, I can run the grub-install from the same mounted OS as im installing to, right? [23:32] zaxonspox, i did not anything after installing ubuntu yesterday [23:32] Hey, does anybody know where to get the new ubuntu branding font? Is there even a complete font yet? [23:33] Typos_King, would a reinstall get rid of my data? === jumpkick_ is now known as jumpkick [23:33] auf_: you have and integrated Intel video card? like 82845 or 82945? [23:33] !patience | gruntzen [23:33] gruntzen: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [23:33] Typos_King, tried again, didnt work [23:34] Ven]n: well.... you can, but usually is preferable to do it from another system, a live or so :) [23:34] Typos_King, Or rather, could i do a reinstall without deleating my current data. I have my home directory on the same partition as the os [23:34] Typos_King, could that be why its not working? [23:34] paradoxx: yes it does, any personal data, yes, reason why I back my up too :| [23:34] zaxonspox, i have intel 82945G [23:34] kk [23:34] paradoxx /home should have separete partition [23:34] Ven]n: can't say, but better to do it for a live-boot [23:35] auf_: and thats your problem [23:35] ok [23:35] zaxonspox, does the default installation do that automatically [23:35] zaxonspox, so? [23:35] Kentrel: the closest I can think of is the 'owner' option in the mount command you could use in the fstab file. This allows the owner of a volume to mount it. Anyone else has to use the sysadmin password... [23:35] paradoxx: didnt see that even once, i always choose to manually set up my partitions [23:36] zaxonspox, what i can do ? [23:36] zaxonspox, how large should I make my os partition vs my home partition? [23:36] is it possible to send a \0 byte when using netcat in interactive mode? [23:36] auf_: ther are many problems with integrated Intel, some people cant even run drivers for ther own Intels [23:36] DCC SEND MESSAGE HI_HI_HI [23:37] paradoxx: 5GB for system should do (mine is 10GB for the future) and 50GB for /home [23:37] what's up leets [23:38] kk [23:38] paradoxx: my is 50GB for home, you can even choose 1GB if it is enough for you [23:38] zaxonspox, kk. And then how would I make ubuntu the use /home as user partition [23:40] paradoxx: in partition step you are choosing mountpoints like choosing sda1 with 5GB as / and sda2 with 15GB as /home [23:40] Typos_King, ok, tried it from live now [23:40] paradoxx: how much RAM do you have? [23:40] Losha, 3GB [23:40] got error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) [23:40] i now ran sudo grub-install /dev/sdc1 [23:40] instead of sdb1 [23:41] ... [23:41] ohh one sec [23:41] Ven]n: use the link i have sent, it is all there [23:41] zaxonspox, and then the rest of space as like a /data partition? [23:41] I'm using ssh to connect to an old laptop that sits next to me. Any novel ideas of what I could do with it? So far I've used it to convert from .avi to mp4 (took about 8 hours to do it)..and its currently playing some mp3s [23:41] paradoxx: if it's a laptop and you want to suspend, you will need a swap partition also... [23:41] Is there a command line that will let me allocate more space to Wubi from a livecd? [23:41] Ven]n: one sec... lemme paste something [23:41] I can't apt-get anything, it thinks I'm entirely out. [23:41] paradoxx: /home is data partitoons (music, movies, fotos) the / is for system and apps [23:42] I consulted Google, but the information I found was (as usual) from Gutsy and no longer seemed to apply... [23:43] Ven]n: where's the usb? sdb1? [23:43] basically I'm stuck until I can tell it to give me just a little more space. Deleting things doesn't seem to help. [23:44] Losha, How big would you recommend for the swap partition [23:44] hey there, I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with something :) [23:44] paradoxx: 2x size of RAM [23:44] !ask [23:44] 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. :-) [23:44] polydeuces1: don't ask to ask, just ask [23:45] Ven]n: where's the usb? sdb1? [23:45] haha, okay thanks. I'm running ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix, and randomly it just cuts to a black screen and I have to restart. anyone have any idea what to do? [23:45] paradoxx: swap depends on size of RAM [23:45] I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and now instead of a login screen, I just get an empty black screen. The grub menu won't open for me, for reasons unknown. It does say 'grub loading' shortly before it craps out. Someone suggested editing grub.cfg, which I've opened, but I don't know exactly what to do to it. [23:45] paradoxx: is it a laptop that you want to suspend? Then twice the RAM i.e. 6GB. If not, you can get away with less e.g. 3GB. For light use, it might not swap at all, and you won't need a swap partition. You can monitor swap usage after you install by using 'conky'... [23:46] polydeuces1: I'd think it may be your video drivers, checked for any 'restricted' ones? [23:46] hi. [23:46] look this [23:46] Typos_King, if running from usb its sdb1, if running from live the usb is sdc1 [23:46] Hm, I haven't. How do I do that, or what would I do? [23:46] Typos_King, sorry for the delay [23:47] Losha why 6GB for SWAP?

[23:47] paradoxx, + 256Mb [23:47] Typos_King, though its actually a live usb [23:47] Losha "who" will need such a big SWAP? if you want to suspend SWAP should be in size of RAM [23:48] Typos_King, the live "cd" is sdb1 [23:48] Typos_King, mounted on "/cdrom" [23:48] zaxonspox: I forget. The old guideline was twice the ram for swap, until RAM got so big that that equation didn't really hold any longer. Now the best thing to do is be conservative and monitor swap usage till you know your machine better... [23:48] Ven]n: what about ... heheh.... ok... what device is it the usb you want grub at? sdb2? [23:48] Typos_King, the usb key with the installation is currently sdc1 [23:48] sdc1 [23:49] Losha: now your make sens again [23:49] Ven]n: ok, one sec, lemme paste something [23:49] ok [23:50] paradoxx: as you can see, there's not much consensus on swap sizing... [23:51] Ven]n: -> http://paste2.org/p/782268 <--- it needs to be done in a 'chroot' session :) [23:51] hi. is somebody having trouble opening 'hidden' files? [23:51] chroot?

I have an acer aspire one netbook with the 945 intel chipset family, is there a specific way to update the drivers?

But it's a nuisance having to register just to paste things... [23:58] Losha: sounds good. I guess as long as it recognizes the hardware, its new enough. [23:58] rebooting to test.. [23:58] Ack!

[23:59] Hi. I am using 9.10. It's great, but some of the packages, namely sw dev packages, lag terribly behind their individual releases on their project websites. Is it possible to get packages for 10.04 and install them on a 9.10 box? [23:59] any clue? [23:59] Outlier: 9.10 is reasonably stable by now, so in a pinch, it wouldn't really matter which you chose... [23:59] Ven]n: are you... sure the usb is set to boot first? odd [23:59] Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/BGJqTHuf [23:59] zaxonspox: another reason to avoid it.
