If you believe that you have restricted hardware on your machine, you should continue using the official Jaunty kernel - in other words, stick [00:16] he Safe configuration. [00:16] Fardad: Why in the name of all that's holy would you be playing around with sudo in /usr/lib? [00:17] KB1JWQ: because risk is fun [00:17] just a learning school i am studying for computer science basics [00:17] Fardad: Yes. I suggest that you backup your data and reinstall Ubuntu, it will be easier than trying to find what you're missing or what you've broken. [00:17] magicianlord: Agreed, but if you break it, you get to keep the pieces. [00:17] MK13: Alright. I've tried uninstalling the third party kernal and it didn't bring back the wireless drivers. I'll reattempt if you think that's the path to getting wireless back on track? [00:17] Pici++ [00:18] no idea please for my sudo ?

[00:19] Pici: so just after copying 2 files and deleting two other I will have to reinstall? copying back the missing libs won't do? [00:19] Fardad: Do you know what you deleted?

[00:20] Typos_King: my question is, does copying these files with cp repair this? [00:20] MK13: Thanks for the explanation. [00:20] Should I upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?

[00:22] hunahpu: i've always liked "UNIX is very user friendly. It's just picky about who its friends are..." [00:22] giiker, well seeing as how you changed your passphrase you no longer look like the same person to your server... you will need to access the server another way and setup the server to accept the new passphrase... not sure if you can re-establish it through the computer you changed the key on [00:22] the power of linux is these friendly people here ;) [00:22] hunahpu, should i upgrade to 10.04?

[00:28] LizardK|ng: They should be, I've only tested with a hardwired connection and smbfs/cifs mounts [00:28] im running ubuntu 9.10 [00:28] yaaar: Ubuntu is pretty well tuned for ssd's by default, lucid will be moreso (at least with respect to boot times) [00:29] Pici: could you please give someone a chance to get your message before kicking them 23 seconds later? had a script go nuts. [00:30] cc4, MythTV certainly can capture TV (but it's a BIG program) you might want to check out tvtime (i've never used it myself) [00:30] Pici, i believe eth0 is up, but not wlan0 when it tries to mount [00:30] Hello guys, can i install package from while in live cd? I need to recover some files from umounted partition using scalpel. But i cant seem to install package while in live cd.

[00:30] Perlfection: looked to me like the bot (not pici) kicked you for flooding [00:30] i mean, all the scripts are just pointing to or calling other scripts, where is the real work done? [00:30] yaaar: it was me. [00:30] oh [00:31] i using virtualbox to emulate bactrack 4, my problem is to rezize the screen of the virtualized OS, i tried to change xorg.conf but i dont nkow how [00:31] giiker, it's because the key needs to be updated too the server - not sure how you can do that after changing the password. Best of luck. [00:31] ZykoticK9: thank you. anything except avidemux for video editing? [00:31] karmic: I can make it work with a virtualized Ubuntu by installing guest additions [00:31] cc4, you might want to check out pitivi [00:31] yaaar, yea ext4 is the default... as far as the error messages it seems it happens usually when updating from grub to grub2 [00:31] cc4: try kino [00:31] my workplace uses cisco vpn... any ideas on how I could get this working with linux? I am developing from ubuntu completely at work, but unable to from home due to vpn [00:32] i cant install guest addition [00:32] what app would let me connect through cisco vpn? [00:32] yaaar, so if you installed it on the whole drive what does the grub2 boot entry look like> [00:32] what I want the most if merge clips together of any format and export to dvd format [00:32] even realplayer [00:32] i tried to mount dev/sda /media/cdrom0 [00:32] which is not on the repository. where is realplayer? [00:32] ZykoticK9: I can do that, and I know how to. But as I said before the passphrase that I changed is the one to protect my private key file from being on plain text. [00:32] jrcarr2: have a look at http://www.longren.org/2007/05/17/how-to-cisco-vpn-client-on-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn/ [00:32] Is vnc the easiest/fastest approach to use ubuntu desktop on a windows platform?

[00:33] d_b_d, thanks [00:33] jrcarr2: Network Manager will let you connect to a Cisco VPN if you install the network-manager-vpnc package. You may need to restart the network-manager service after install (or reboot/relog). [00:33] Hello guys, can i install package while in live cd? I need to recover some files from umounted partition using scalpel. But i cant seem to install package while in live cd. [00:33] mr_fribble: if you don't need a GUI then simply connect over ssh (using Putty on windows) [00:33] Pici, it still tried to mount them right away :( [00:33] karmic: you have to mount it from the media manager [00:33] Pici, thanks, I'll install and check [00:33] Chetic, yes just like normal [00:33] giiker, sorry man - no ideas here, good luck [00:33] chetnick: you need to sudo apt-get update first [00:34] on another note, how can I create an environment variable with a period in it? [00:34] chetnick: and check /etc/apt/sources.list [00:34] d_b_d: thanks that is probably why... [00:34] Chetic, sudo apt-get install doesnt work? [00:34] I need to create an environment variable named "lsi.environment" [00:34] ZykoticK9: thanx [00:34] chetnick: uncomment all sources (except for the cd rom) [00:34] colorlessprism: no it did not work, but d_b_d suggested right thing to do... [00:34] thanks. [00:34] MK13: So I've followed the steps listed to revert the changes and I'm still not seeing any drivers available for the wireless card. Can you tell me how I can A) find out what the default kernel is to check and see if I have it and B) if not, how to get it? [00:34] I changed the passphrase of my private key file (with ssh-keygen -p)in my client box, but when login in to the remote server through SSH, my new passphrase is not recognized. I can keep changing the passphrase, but it is not being recognized?!! [00:34] Can anyone recommend an app to play mp3 files which are audio books? With a bookmark per file? [00:35] Pici, how do you restart network-manager [00:35] Chetic, awesome good luck [00:35] Extra good if it works nicely with a touchscreen and no keyboard :-) [00:35] giiker, yes, a common problem [00:35] media manager? [00:35] ToccoaD, not really at this moment since I am not on linux and on a VERY crappy Win2000 computer atm [00:35] why is not realplayer on synaptic? [00:35] jrcarr2: service network-manager restart I think. I was testing on Lucid, so I'm unsure if that will work in <= Karmic [00:35] ToccoaD,sorry [00:36] cc4: Is there a reason you prefer realplayer to any of the more standard supported media apps? [00:36] thanks colorlessprism lol [00:36] MK13: Thats alright. I'll ask the room at large. Thanks for being willing to help. [00:36] Jordan_U: to save realplayer clips from the web to the hd [00:36] Jordan_U: merge them, and make a dvd [00:36] thanks dudes... secondly.. .anyone know if virtualbox or vmware can run a windows installation on another partition? [00:36] cc4: use wget with the url. play and convert with vlc (or mplayer) from command line [00:36] karmic: on the settings menu, there is the option to mount an image iso, there! [00:37] Can anyone tell me A) what the current default kernel is for jaunty and B) how to get it if I don't have it? [00:37] d_b_d: does wget have a gui? [00:37] jrcarr2, VirtualBox can -- see (and notice warning!) http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [00:37] jrcarr2: can you elaborate plz? [00:37] jrcarr2, vmware can mount a real partition as the virtual harddrive but it is not recommended to then boot from that [00:37] MK13: well, it's in another room so it'll be tricky to get verbatim, but here's the basic rundown. it sets the error variable, then checks for the grub environment, then 'set quiet=1' then 'insmod ext2' then 'root (hd0,1)' then a line searching for a filesystem id, and then finally the big kernel line, which has root=/dev/sda1 and only 3 options: ro quiet splash [00:37] cc4: maybe (but using it from the terminal is simple) [00:37] jrcarr2, yes, but it's troublesome as the windows image will have the wrong drivers for the IDE/SCSI bus, and so on. It'll likely just bluescreen on boot unless you're careful [00:37] d_b_d: on some sites I need there is no url [00:37] nick_fn_, lol.... then I'm not doing that then :) [00:38] will karmic be upgraded to 2.6.32 ? I need a bugfix for a wireless card that is in that kernel release :) [00:38] d_b_d: on the html source. does wget gets the page? what? [00:38] Greetings all! I've been tweaking my my 9.10 netbook remix for the past couple days, and had a question about internet -- It's very choppy, especially downloads and honestly, I can't download anything above ~10 megs. It always cuts out, whether it's in a browser, terminal, synaptic or a game's updater. I disabled firewall, enabled DMZ for my computer and updated router's firmware. Same problem. any ideas? [00:38] this is a work issued laptop and if I nuke the windows partition I'll have to call helpdesk to have them reinstall everything :) [00:38] its said mount: block device /dec/hdc is write protected, mounting ready only Mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or media cdrom0 is busy mount : according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted on /media/cdrom0 [00:38] MK13: i've also tried with 'noapic nolapic' with the same results. i can give you more detail on any of those lines if you need it. you think maybe 'insmod ext2' is the issue? or is ext4 still back-compat with 2 just like 3 was? [00:38] cc4: then the url is probably hidden by some javascript obfuscation (but you can be sure it is there ;-) [00:38] how can I test the grub splash theme without reboot the system?? [00:38] or should I just install it myself? [00:39] d_b_d: any alternative to wget with a gui? [00:39] cc4: a web browser? [00:39] jrcarr2, what I did instead, is run a P2V process, and make the windows partition into a windows 'file' (virtual hard disk). You can keep the real windows parition too... [00:39] karmic, if you are using backtrack4 please seek assistance in their support [00:39] cc4: gwget [00:39] yaaar, i would prolly chance the insmod to ext4 just to check [00:39] MK13: roger that [00:39] I changed the passphrase of my private key file (with ssh-keygen -p)in my client box, but when login in to the remote server through SSH, my new passphrase is not recognized. I can keep changing the passphrase, but it is not being recognized?!! [00:39] cc4: not really sure (wget cli works fine for me) [00:39] ok I will try it and get back [00:40] im using it down the virtualbox [00:40] ok [00:40] max_rb: There is no easy way to test that you setup the theme properly on your machine, if you really just want to see what a theme looks like / acts you can use a virtual machine. [00:40] am allready mount the image [00:40] MK13: that changes it from "error: Couldn't read file" to "error: File not found" [00:40] is it normal for ubuntu to take a while to boot the install cycle? [00:40] yaaar, though it should be backwards compatable... what that error says to me is either wrong filesystem type given or wron partition given [00:41] Jordan_U, tkz... [00:41] anything like netlimiter of windows on ubuntu? simple? [00:41] now how can install the additions? [00:41] AdmiralDeath: depends [00:41] what is the best way to update my kernel to 2.6.32 ? [00:41] MK13: grub2's "ext2" module supports ext2/3/4 [00:41] Jordan_U, thanks for the info... figured it would but was worth a shot anyway [00:41] AdmiralDeath: USB will be faster than CDRom [00:42] ! best [00:42] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:42] it hass been reading the CRrom for the past 20 minutes [00:42] karmic, #vbox may be able to assist you as well [00:42] ok [00:42] anything like netlimiter of ms$ win on ubuntu? simple? [00:42] im instakking it [00:42] AdmiralDeath: verify your written copy (md5 the checksum) [00:42] thankyou guys [00:42] kk [00:42] AdmiralDeath: LiveCDs can take a while to load, depending on your CD-ROM speeds, yes. [00:42] help me [00:42] ah ok [00:43] AdmiralDeath: jeje, u might have a coaster then, it does not take that long, unless you have a x CDRom drive :)! [00:43] AdmiralDeath: or try switching to a different runlevel and see if something interesting is there [00:43] well the Drive is very old [00:43] korcan: Your options include using a ppa, upgrading to lucid, or downloading and building the kernel yourself (most difficult) [00:43] AdmiralDeath, lol [00:43] can someone help me please [00:43] AdmiralDeath: How much RAM do you have? [00:43] 2 GB [00:43] any bandwidth limiter for ubuntu? [00:43] AdmiralDeath: :=) can you boot from a USB drive? [00:43] pearson: probably not until you tell us what you need help with... [00:43] yaaar, i wish i could look at my grub.cfg and help you out but that is the best i can do... and i g2g for now so hope someone else can help you [00:44] I have no idea how to boot an iso from usb [00:44] RDP to my Windows 7 box is slooowww... Any way to speed it up? [00:44] MK13: ok, well thanks for giving it a shot. cheers [00:44] every time i boot i have to go in recovery === log|out is now known as log|in === RedXIII`Alt is now known as RedXIII [00:44] yaaar: What problem are you having? [00:44] AdmiralDeath: nowadays linux distros come with a tool to install to a USB drive. [00:44] cc4: Maybe pyshaper will work for you? [00:44] AdmiralDeath: make sure that your motherboard supports booting from usb (and that your BIOS is set accordingly) [00:44] AdmiralDeath: like Fedora, Ubuntu, and some more! [00:45] when i try to run alsamixer, i get "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [00:45] i've seen this problem twice now ever, but I can't seem to figure out why I'm not able to execute a file that I see right in front of me: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GqiEDt8h [00:45] soreau, where can I find a ppa? [00:45] I am not sure if it supports it the computer is 5 years old [00:45] ! ppa [00:45] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [00:45] Jordan_U: i just installed 9.10 on this hp pavilion dv6000 and it won't boot. i get to grub and every option (once i take out the quiet bits) gives me "error: Couldn't open file" [00:46] this is the 4th disk I have burned. The 2 server iso's had corrupt files and the 64 bit desktop failed to mount something and now I am trying 32 [00:46] Jordan_U: i googled some but didn't find anyone with the same issue...found some folks with other weird boot problems who suggested adding 'noapic nolapic' to the kernel line....but that didn't do anything. also booted the livecd, mounted/chrooted into the system and reinstalled grub with no luck [00:46] oh, and i checked the disc for errors as well [00:47] ugh, i shouldn't have tried to install the new ppa version [00:47] of alsa [00:47] AdmiralDeath: did you burn those disks with the same drive you are trying to read them? [00:47] no [00:47] pyshaper is not on the repository [00:47] AdmiralDeath: well it might be compatibility issue [00:47] hmm [00:47] ok [00:47] AdmiralDeath: if you have burnned ISOs before and they worked, then yur CDrom might be saying bye bye! a box 5 years old might still be able to boot from USB drive [00:47] AdmiralDeath: i have stumbled upon that few times [00:47] cc4: You have to build it from source, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993210 [00:48] yaaar: May be a BIOS bug if your BIOS can't read past a certain point in large drives. But then you usually get an "out of disk" error. [00:48] AdmiralDeath: not all burned cds seem to work on other drives [00:48] Jordan_U: so, figure i create a separate /boot partition at the front of the drive? [00:48] AdmiralDeath: did you burn on DVD or CD? Try burning on CD (if you burnt on DVD before). Try a slow speed burning, md5 the hash of the disc contents after burning etc... [00:48] AdmiralDeath: haave you checked the checksums after downloading them? [00:48] so I am going to have to install windows to burn a cd? [00:48] AdmiralDeath: and after burning them? [00:49] yes I checked them [00:49] I changed the passphrase of my private key file (with ssh-keygen -p)in my client box, but when login in to the remote server through SSH, my new passphrase is not recognized. I can keep changing the passphrase, but it is not being recognized?!! [00:49] AdmiralDeath: can't you order an Ubuntu disc from launchpad anymore (and wait a little)? [00:49] Has anyone ever seen this, where you get a file not found error when trying to execute it ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hm7qg97y [00:49] AdmiralDeath: you are burning the image as an image, right? like, not just burning the image file to the disc? [00:49] AdmiralDeath: maybe they stopped shipping them, but they sent out ubuntu discs for free [00:49] yaaar, real quick check the entries given here and see if anything is missing/wrong https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:50] yaaar: It's worth a try eventually but first you should try doing some testing in the grub shell, for instance use "ls /boot" to see if your kernels are listed. [00:50] d_b_d, they still do, though they have been down for the last week or so [00:50] bappy2, are you using 64bit ubuntu? [00:50] d_b_d, shipit [00:50] AdmiralDeath: do you have cds or dvds from different manufacturers? [00:50] no, 32 bit [00:50] AdmiralDeath: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [00:50] no I dont [00:50] AdmiralDeath: cause that might solve the problem [00:50] I only have a spool of 100 DVDS [00:50] yaaar: Can you be on IRC and at the grub shell at the same time? [00:50] bappy2, ok just checkin' [00:50] AdmiralDeath: damn [00:50] AdmiralDeath: then you're sure it's not you're writer [00:51] yes I am sure [00:51] I have tried both drives [00:51] ZykoticK9: i tested the same mongodb tarball (double checked the MD5 hash) on another ubuntu install (hardy), and it worked just fine [00:51] both are 32 bit [00:51] AdmiralDeath: what program are u using to burn the iso? [00:51] anybody figured out plymouth issue under nvidia proprietary? [00:51] Windows 7 iso burner [00:52] bappy2, sorry i don't have any suggestions if you're running 32 (was just going to suggest ia32-libs if you where on 64) [00:52] hmm .. is there a way to confirm how many bits your processor is from ubuntu ? [00:52] (my box is a virtual slice, maybe i got it wrong) [00:52] bappy2, "uname -m" [00:52] AdmiralDeath: try switching to runlevel 3 while the install fails/hangs (ctrl + alt + f3). Check the error logs [00:52] x86_64 [00:52] lol [00:52] anybody figured out plymouth issue under nvidia proprietary? [00:53] bappy2, that's 64! install the ia32-libs [00:53] bappy2: lshw -C cpu; [00:53] i would really like the ubuntu splash to work properly [00:53] it does not hang at all [00:53] !lucid | guitarguy [00:53] guitarguy: 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 [00:53] guitarguy : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [00:53] /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness: Directory nonexistent [00:53] AdmiralDeath: where does it fail then (specific?) [00:53] it doesnt [00:54] when i tried to run sh video_brightnessup.sh [00:54] it burns fine and it hangs when I try to install linux on a seperate box [00:54] ia32-libs .. lets a 64 bit process run 32bit programs ? [00:54] my fn key does not works [00:54] bappy2, yes - basically [00:54] AdmiralDeath: do you format the seoerate box before install? (if it evne gets that far in the install) [00:54] bappy2: it has to with your search path [00:54] because i can also download the 64 bit version of this program [00:55] Jordan_U: not helping, and the bug at launchpad is set to low level of importance, i dont think it would be solved by the ubuntu developers, because it doesnt affect system performance, and it targets only nvidia users [00:55] I tell it to install and it is sitting at the blinking cursotr [00:55] cursor* [00:55] AdmiralDeath: when it hangs (when installing) try pressing ctrl+alt+f3 (that should take you to runlevel 3). list what you see here [00:55] hey, anyone ever hear of a soft token file for vpn? [00:55] Typos_King: just checked, looks like i'm def. on a 64 bit processor [00:55] how do i tell alsa what my soundcard is? [00:55] ok [00:55] it says [00:55] learned a new command today: lshw :) [00:55] and any ideas of how to use my software token file for vpn on ubuntu? [00:56] Babby2: Grats. [00:56] I changed the passphrase of my private key file (with ssh-keygen -p)in my client box, but when login in to the remote server through SSH, my new passphrase is not recognized. I can keep changing the passphrase, but it is not being recognized?!! [00:56] Do you know how to pipe it to html yet? :) [00:56] how can I select my tvtuner on mythtv? I have 2 pci devices installed. [00:57] mouting failed on dev/loop0 [00:57] I am using the --device command with tvtime [00:57] on filesystem.squashfs [00:57] ok, installed ia32-libs [00:57] no such device exists [00:58] now what? [00:58] AdmiralDeath: may be a broken disc according to http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/mandriva-linux-help/26241-cd-crashes-invalid-argument-mount-dev-loop0-solved.html (I would try taking out the cdrom / dvd players one by one) [00:59] AdmiralDeath: a broken cd-romplayer I meant (not really a disc) [00:59] I only have on in the computer I am trying to install linux on [00:59] ZykoticK9: that was spot on diagnosis the first time [00:59] one* [00:59] hmm [00:59] Jordan_U: sorry had to go afk for a minute. the troublesome computer is in the next room, so i've been employing a bit of sneakernet...anyway, i can do ls /boot no problem, shows the files. [00:59] bappy2, glad you got it working [00:59] thanks guys [00:59] I will see if I can find the extra CD drive we have [00:59] brb [01:00] what do i do when ubuntu won't reboot nor shutdown with shutdown -h now [01:01] yaaar: Try typing in the linux and initrd commands from your grub.cfg directly into the grub shell (you can replace root=UUID= with root=/dev/sdXX to be easier to type) [01:01] AdmiralDeath: ok, I'll try to stay on this channel. I have no experience with this specific error but I should be able to help you through general linux troubleshooting [01:01] on mythtv is shows no tvtuner cards, while it works with tvtime [01:01] what's wrong? [01:01] hi there, is ther some GUI app that can recover files deleted by rm command? [01:01] sp0spo: try sudo shutdown -r now [01:01] cc4, did you setup the card using mythtv-setup command? [01:01] no [01:02] jt, same thing [01:02] ok I will thanks ZykoticK9 [01:02] XuMuK: try photorec (enable all repositories) (stop using the disk NOW) [01:02] XuMuk: btw its text GUI (ncurses; does that count ;) [01:02] XuMuk: otherwise use Foremost [01:02] okay, somehow i got it to shutdown [01:02] after i've compiled something from source, can I just delete the /usr/local/src/xbmc folder? I am asking because it's taking up a lot of room. when I hit sudo make install I say a bunch of messages saying that it was copying files to system locations. [01:03] XuMuK: but unmount the disk now (or you'll lose data) [01:03] d_b_d, shal I boo t from Live CD for thtat? o_O [01:03] the same question goes for armyops. it's taking up a mass amount of room. [01:03] butt [01:03] Jordan_U: the linux command gives the same "error: Couldn't read file" (and of course the initrd command fails because there's no kernel loaded" [01:04] XuMuK: that's possible yes (after booting edit /etc/apt/sources.list as sudo root and uncomment all sources; then issue sudo apt-get update ; then install diskutils (sudo apt-get install diskutils) and then run photorec on the partition) [01:04] can someone help me get my sound working again? i think i'm just making things worse [01:04] Hello [01:05] mazda01: I'd say yes, since it's already compiled to binary, the source objects aren't needed for executing it [01:05] I'm using ubuntu 9.10 [01:05] LizardK|ng: what is your problem? [01:05] wow, it's busy here! [01:05] firefox 3.6.3 and sun-java6-plugin [01:05] XuMuK: you may need to mount the partition you want to recover FROM manually (as the destiation where you want to save the files). When you google photorec tutorial you should be able to find a tutorial [01:05] So, I have a question that could probably be answered pretty fast; where is the configuration that makes the xserver start upon logging in. I would like my user to be kicked to a command line so that I will have to manually start the xserver. [01:05] emmanuel_: ask your question in one line please. [01:05] ok I am trying the install on another drive [01:05] and when I open window with an applet I cannot close the window [01:05] some body knows why? [01:05] turd [01:05] ZykoticK9: how can I set the video device on the myth-setup? I place video1 instead of video0 but it still says aboyt my webcam [01:06] looks like that was it [01:06] jasmuz, no sound, i asked earlier why sometimes i need to restart an app to get the sound to come back in it and was told to upgrade alsa to 1.0.23 from 1.0.22.1 and i just ended up losing all sound and karmic doesn't see my soundcard anymore [01:06] lots faster this time [01:06] shit [01:06] could anyone help me to solve this low free space issue with Ubuntu casper persistent install? [01:06] cc4, i'm really not sure - myth is on my htpc (which i'm not on) you might want to ask in the mythbuntu channel though. Good luck. [01:06] AdmiralDeath: hopes it works for you [01:06] dburke: you could disable the startup of the Xserver yourself, or make your account go into a terminal mode. [01:06] !language > lavatory [01:06] lavatory, please see my private message [01:06] AdmiralDeath: shiny new ubuntu installation coming up soon ;-) [01:06] I give up [01:06] Typos_King, ok, armyops i am not sure what I can delete. it installed itself with a foo.run file. and within /usr/local/games/armyops/ there is a ton of folders. [01:07] JRCARR2: never give up; what's the problem [01:07] How do I do that? Is there a config file I should be looking at? [01:07] LizardK|ng: your soundcard should be listed, check under lspci [01:07] I'm using ubuntu 9.10, firefox 3.6.3 and sun-java6-plugin, when I open window java applet, I cannot close it. somebody knows why? [01:07] I apparently need to use something called "software key authentication" or "soft key authentication" to connect via vpn... [01:07] jasmuz, its there but alsa doesn't see it [01:07] emmanuel_: which java [01:07] but i cannot find how to do it in linux :( [01:08] yaaar: Could you run "md5sum /boot/linux..." for one of your kernels and confirm that it matches what's seen in the booted system? [01:08] jasmuz: How should I do that? Is there a config file I should use? [01:08] emmanuel: tell me the output of running that under terminal [01:08] dburke: honestly i can't remember how i use to do it. [01:08] mazda01: what you can do is, firstly, rename it -> mv games cheeseburger; then run the app/game again, to see if it goes ok, and if it does, then hose it :) [01:08] how can I save the tv tuner I defined on mythtv-setup please? [01:09] LizardK|ng: If its listed, why are you using alsa instead of pulseaudio? [01:09] video1 [01:09] jasmuz, boxee doesn;t like pulseaudio [01:09] utube ripper isn't working =/ [01:09] whenever I double click on it nothing loads [01:09] JRCARR2: fyi, if you have the .pcf file for your vpn configuration, you can import it into network manager's vpn thing. [01:10] jasmuz, can you help me with alsa? [01:10] LizardK|ng: there is a alsa to pulseaudio stream if im not mistaken [01:10] jasmuz, can you help me with alsa? [01:10] forget about pulseaudio [01:10] Pici... yeah, the problem is we dont use pcf.. they use a file with the extension .sf [01:10] anyone familiar with winehq? [01:10] nishanth: The #winehq channel is [01:10] LizardK|ng, have you tried "pauspender BOXEE_EXECUTABLE" [01:10] haha [01:10] I'm using java6 [01:11] Need some help with grub after a fresh Mandriva install === pat__ is now known as random75 [01:11] Pici, where are pcf files generally located at? [01:11] JRCARR2: rsa's soft key doesn't work on linux [01:11] Can anyone point me to a config file that determines whether the xserver starts upon login? [01:11] ZykoticK9, no, why would i need to do something to boxee that i didn;t need to do before and when sound doesn't work before boxee even starts? [01:11] d_b_d: let me run firefox in a terminal, wait please!! [01:11] emmanuel_: does the same thing happen with the latest opera? (seeing if this is really java-related vs browser-related)? [01:12] Problem: computer does not recognize ethernet signal, ie port. I have some data re it now. PLEASE ! [01:12] JRCARR2: I'm not sure. I got a .pcf file and a windows executable from my network admin, I was happy that I could load the pcf file with n-m [01:12] dburke: how about checking out init.d? [01:12] Jordan_U: the grub shell doesn't know 'md5sum' [01:12] i don't even have a "pauspender" command [01:12] jasmuz: isn't that a folder? [01:12] dburke: Install BUM (Boot Up Manager) and disable the xserver if you may. [01:12] dburke, if you want to disable GDM on startup see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/boot-to-console---disable-graphical-login-gdm === sam_ is now known as Guest41483 [01:13] dburke: Of course.. init.d is a folder, which holds all the init scripts [01:13] yaaar: Seems that command was added in 1.98 :( [01:13] hi... i would really appreciate some help [01:13] @JRCARR2: may be far fetched but have you tried renaming the .sf to .pcf and try enabling that (hurray for Juniper Netscreen VPNS for running on other OS'es then Windows) [01:13] ZykoticK9: Nah, I like GDM. I want to disable the xserver [01:13] yes, it's the same with opera and google chrome [01:13] zasmuz: Thanks. :) [01:13] dburke, GDM more or less is xserver -- what are you really asking? [01:13] jasmuz, so you only know about pulseaudio? [01:13] d_b_d, good thought... [01:13] Cant see internet signal, ethernet viz: I have collected the info that was asked for last night. ((Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection [01:14] Dhcp Server: 192.168.1.254 [01:14] Physical Address: 00:0C:F1:E8:CE:04 )) and I am looking at the lspci results on the screen NOW. [01:14] !details | zuke [01:14] zuke: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:14] ZykoticK9: I would like the xserver to not start upon login. I want my user to be booted to a cli [01:14] LizardK|ng: I stopped working with alsa a while ago, when Ubuntu pushed pulse into the distro [01:14] Jordan_U: anyway i doubt the kernel image is the problem. in particular, the memtest image does the same thing [01:14] dburke, then disable GDM! [01:14] ok Jordan_U [01:15] d_b_d, I'll try... worse comes to worse, I'll just have to use linux atr work and use windows at home if I need to be on the corporate network [01:15] LizardK|ng: and since Boxee isn't provided by the repo's i can't account for it either. [01:15] jasmuz, alsa is though, i'm not asking for boxee help at all [01:15] ZykoticK9: Do you have a term or keyword/file that could help me understand more about why that's the case? [01:15] yaaar: It wasn't to test that the kernel image was correct, it was to test that grub is reading the file properly (i.e. if the md5sum matches what linux sees) [01:15] Ubuntu 10.04/Fedora12/Mandriva2010.0 installed on WD External USB HDD when I do the update grub after Mandriva installation, Mandriva shows up in the appropriate place but doesn't point to a kernel image like Ubuntu and Fedora do [01:15] dburke, GDM is the GUI Xorg launcher [01:16] Jordan_U: oh, i follow [01:16] ZykoticK9, zasmuz: Thanks. [01:16] @JRCARR2: If your network admins are OK with it then just map a high remote port at your firewall for an SSH tunnel (then mount the windows shares as SMB/CIFS manually) [01:16] I've asked this politely 3 times today at intervals hours apart. I'm trying to get computer #3 to connect to internet and it doesnt register connected. Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD. Ditto when I add a PCI ethernet card. (je vous en prie) [01:16] LizardK|ng: check these out--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 [01:16] dburke add the word text to the following line in /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [01:17] i am running firefox 3.5.9 on ubuntu 9.10... when i try to preview a post in wordpress the php file doesn't load in the browser... I am asked to save it instead... in fact this happens on most sites with php [01:17] when i change the option to open it with firefox... multiple tabs open and i have to close firefox stop it [01:17] what can i do to fix this problem??? [01:17] so the snd_hda_intel kernel module is loaded [01:17] It gives me the option to boot it, but when selected is says "no such location" "no such partition" "you need to load the kernel first" [01:17] Typos_King, cool thanks [01:18] tripleb: you won't always get an answer. Not sure what you mean by computer #3, but do you have an IP address / is your hardware being recognized? [01:18] hello [01:18] jasmuz, thanks for the info on PULSEAUDIO which i'm NOT using! [01:18] hello [01:18] LizardK|ng: don't be sarcastic, im trying to give you a way out. [01:19] i'm just frustrated because it was working about 90% and now its at like -50% [01:19] skoorc8: that's a server problem, it has nothing to do with your browser [01:19] I like to use terminator as my primary terminal. I usually start it via Alt+F2. I'd like to find the equivalent of bash aliases for X. I prefer to use terminator with -mb. I have this in .bash_alias but Alt+F2 apparently doesn't check this. [01:20] I'd like to type in Terminator and have it do terminator -mb [01:20] well when i try to post from another computer in the house it works seemlessly [01:20] gunksta: write a small script, put it in ~/bin, log out, log back in [01:20] How do I create a new admin user through ssh? [01:20] so it has to be related to my setup [01:20] mr_fribble: create a new user (adduser), add the user to the admin group (adduser USERNAME admin) [01:20] jrib - that's a good point. I've got a few other things in !/bin [01:21] I meant ~/bin [01:21] gunksta: no need to log out and back in then [01:21] yaaar: You probably won't be able to see the output well enough to do much good, but try running "set debug=disk" before the linux command or add it to your grub.cfg. [01:21] thank you jrib [01:21] skoorc8: it's a server issue [01:21] Is there a howto fro grub2 [01:21] can anyone help me get ALSA without pulseaudio working in karmic? [01:22] skoorc8: either that or you aren't describing the problem accurately [01:22] !grub2 > snarkster [01:22] snarkster, please see my private message [01:22] jrib: what tools can i use to see what my browser is sending to the server? [01:22] skoorc8: you see php code correct? [01:22] don't understand your question [01:23] jrib: it says adduser: The group `admin' does not exist. when I try adding my new user to the admin group. [01:23] skoorc8: when you open the php file, do you see php tags? [01:23] mr_fribble: what distro are you using? [01:23] i don't see anything in the file [01:23] So far I've just found a descriptive howto not a step by step howto [01:23] ubuntu 9.04 [01:23] mr_fribble: that's not possible, ubuntu has an admin group [01:24] it is a vps server [01:24] mr_fribble, "cat /etc/group" and verify that admin is listed [01:24] mr_fribble: not a proper ubuntu install then [01:24] mr_fribble, VPSs can do strange things! [01:25] skoorc8: use the Tamper Data addon for Firefox to watch requests/responses [01:25] tripelb if you have another cable try using that (swap maybe) confirm the intergrity of the cable.... also hold it end to end, are the wires (colours) in the same order on both sides???? [01:25] is adm same as admin? [01:25] Hey folks! I'm a complete Ubuntu newb and in need of some assistance. Having some issues loading the new OS. [01:25] I can't get Ubuntu CDs anymore. If i join a LoCo can i continue getting CDs? [01:25] Ddot: just ask [01:25] Ddot: what's the question? === Joel is now known as Guest91252 [01:26] User_007, if you become an Ubuntu-Member (not easy) you can. Or just buy them. [01:26] ZykoticK9, I see adm in there, is that the same thing? [01:26] exigraff: ok i will check it out... thanx [01:26] User_007: most LoCos get a shipment of CDs and I'm sure you also find lots of friendly people willing to burn you one if you can't for some reason [01:26] mr_fribble: it's not the same thing, no [01:26] skoorc8: np [01:26] mr_fribble: pastebin your /etc/sudoers [01:26] Ddot, from where are you/ [01:26] mr_fribble, can't answer that i'm affraid - you are using a non-standard ubuntu for sure [01:26] ? [01:27] I am in Oklahoma [01:27] One sec [01:27] Jordan_U: yeah, i don't think that told us anything. all the lines except the last couple were "disk.c:389 Reading `hd0,1'..." and then "disk.c:457 hd0,1 read failed" followed by "closing..." [01:27] mr_fribble, no not the same - i have an adm here as well [01:28] I am trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop and it is halting my system and giving me this error: "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 353267..." [01:28] What is the difference between adm and admin then? [01:28] I've used the same disk and installed it on my laptop with no issues [01:28] mr_fribble: they are different groups, used for different things... [01:28] yaaar: Is this an older machine? [01:29] @Ddot: sr0 is your floppy disk (try removing that - unplug it). [01:29] I thought adm was short for admin, excuse me. [01:29] My computer does not contain a floppy drive [01:29] Jordan_U: couple years. it came with vista on it if that tells you anything [01:30] Wow [01:30] Thats alot of people [01:30] Does anyone know why admin is not listed in my group list? When I do lsb_release -a, it shows Ubuntu 9.04 so I'm running the right distro... [01:31] hi, im kind of a newb. Im trying to enable an aero-snap feature like that of W7 in Karmic Koala. I went into keyboard shortcuts and typed out a command I found online but it doesnt seem to be working. Some key shortcuts produce an error while others dont get a response at all. Any ideas? [01:31] I'm really a newb [01:31] Probably more so than you :p [01:31] mr_fribble, contact your hosting provider! they'll know (they've probably removed it for some reason) [01:32] Ddot: sr0 is probably your cdrom drive. floppies are usually fdX [01:32] mr_fribble: pastebin your /etc/sudoers and we'll tell you how to add a new admin user [01:32] Ddot: in any case, the error usually points to a bad cd or bad drive: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678096 === mOOey is now known as m00se [01:32] Yes, I thought so. My cd-rom drive works fine and writes fine in Windows. [01:32] I am thinking about creating a local repo for ubuntu as i have about 7 workstations using ubuntu on the lan and the constant package updates is pointless. I am wondering if there is anyway i can find out the current sizes of karmic and lucid repos? [01:32] Ddot: have you checked the cd out? (md5sum and/or the self-check?) [01:33] morphix: huge [01:33] lol [01:33] anyone else using XBMC in ubuntu? [01:33] iflema, iT IS THE SAME CABLE i AM USING FOR THIS ONE. i JUST UNPLUG IT HERE AND PLUG IT IN THERE. [01:33] i don't have any scrapers in a newly compiled 9.11 xbmc in lucid [01:33] is there a way for me to install this 32bit driver on my 64bit system [01:33] morphix: you can setup a proxy, where only one computer downloads the files [01:33] Ok, can anyone help me with a problem? I downloaded Ubuntu .iso and burned it to a CD and booted it up on another computer [01:33] gogeta: yeh i know that much, but am after sizes [01:33] * Typos_King presses caps-lock for tripelb [01:33] I tried to install it and it went fine at first [01:34] iflema, I was asked to look at the hardware. I have two reports, one from belarc (win) and one from lspci (now) - yesterday when it was late someone here asked me to do that. [01:34] jrib: http://pastebin.com/PqJ92Ra5 [01:34] how can I open the "add /remove applications" in terminal? [01:34] morphix: i beleve it takes 4 dvds [01:34] whats the command for that? [01:34] Typos_King, thanks [01:34] But then errors like "Buffer I/0 errors" started to pop [01:34] *up [01:34] I am a current windows user, trying to install Ubuntu. I have done the drive check from the ubuntu menu, with no errors or problems found. But I'm not sure how to check it any other way. It works perfectly in Windows. [01:34] so much for touchtyping [01:34] Eventually it just froze up [01:34] ChogyDan: yeh but once the cache reaches the limit old cache files will be ditched.. i want a permanent repo available, especially since i do a lot of test benches too.. easier when installing to do a net install from a local repo [01:34] Sachse_Siechtum: Id' think will be -> synaptic; or so [01:35] gogeta: for what? just for lucid repo? kamic? [01:35] morphix, my solution to your problem (used for my VMs) is to have a copy of /var/cache/apt/archives that i connect to with SSH and download from the one machine to the others [01:35] Tao: It sounds like you are having the same issue i am [01:35] Sachse_Siechtum: well, there isn't really a direct analogue. you probably want 'aptitude' though...try starting with 'aptitude search ' [01:35] And when I tried to install it again, all I got was a black screen with what looked like a blinking underscore [01:35] morphix: looks up ubuntu repo dvd should give you sizes [01:35] mr_fribble: what user are you using to add new users now? [01:35] root [01:35] Typos_King, no I dont mean synaptic.. I mean the tab "add /remove applications" in the applications menu [01:35] hi, im kind of a newb. Im trying to enable an aero-snap feature like that of W7 in Karmic Koala. I went into keyboard shortcuts and typed out a command I found online but it doesnt seem to be working. Some key shortcuts produce an error while others dont get a response at all. Can anyone help me with this? [01:36] Sachse_Siechtum: I was under the impression that IS synaptic [01:36] Sachse_Siechtum: software-center [01:36] taylor_: does the command work from a terminal? [01:36] I'm using connection sharing, and the recipient computer is not able to connect to the internet.... It is perfectly connected to the network, and has an ip from the dhcp server, but cannot ping google, for example. (Unknown host) [01:37] ChogyDan, hmm this is not installed... *installing* [01:37] ChogyDan: I haven't tried, but should I just copy the same command and into terminal? Or do I have to write a different syntax? [01:37] mr_fribble: your vps provider is silly... anyway, you should edit /etc/sudoers (use: sudo visudo) and add a line "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" and create the admin group [01:37] Appetite: you need to enable that on the linux machine people used to just give me a script on hear. [01:37] Tao: is it installed still? do you get a Grub menu at boot? [01:37] tripelb card(s) listed in lspci? if so try ifconfig in a terminal... is there a listing for eth0? [01:38] Appetite, verify on the guest machine that there is something reasonable in the /etc/resolv.conf [01:38] Typos_King: No, I don't [01:38] taylor_: if you are going to have it run from a shortcut, it _must_ work in the terminal. I found there is stricter syntax for the shortcut [01:38] ZykoticK9: what should it contain? it says "nameserver 10.42.43.10" [01:38] is it safe to load the kernels that are in kernel.ubuntu.com site? [01:38] Appetite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [01:38] ChogyDan, thanks. :-) [01:38] ChogyDan: I just tried, it works in terminal, but the keyboard shortcut doesnt work [01:38] Typos_King: I don't think it installed [01:38] Appetite, that *seems* like it might be reasonable :) good luck man [01:39] Typos_King: I installed the libglib2.0 and it worked [01:39] From what I've read about this error, it seems like its a problem with CD-RW drives. [01:39] Tao: it might have been an issue with the apm module, fixable by means of grub boot arguments, like noapic and acpi=off [01:39] Sachse_Siechtum: yw [01:39] hey can someone help me? I think I'm supposed to download a file or something [01:39] ZykoticK9: ah, i'm not sure the problem, because it just stopped working recently [01:39] taylor_: what is the command? [01:39] I downloaded utube ripper and whenever I double click on it it doesn't do anything [01:39] jrib: there is a percent sign in front of admin? [01:39] ChogyDan: WIDTH=`xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:' | cut -f 2 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d 'x'` && HALF=$(($WIDTH/2)) && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,$HALF,0,$HALF,-1 [01:39] so I tried it through the terminal and it says [01:39] mr_fribble: yes [01:39] !enter | sje46 [01:39] sje46: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:39] Appetite, actually i'm unable to ping that address, can you? [01:39] ERROR: #27: Cannot load component 'gb.sdl.sound': cannot find library file [01:39] ChogyDan: And then there is a similar one for moving the window to the left [01:40] fardad: heheh.... don't forget to make images for backups, for whenever something unexpectedly may occurr :) [01:40] sje46: you dont need any extra apps to grab youtube. just add kick to the ur eh kickyoutube [01:40] taylor_: hmm, wmctrl? [01:40] jrib: I still get the same thing, admin group doesn't exit [01:40] exist* [01:40] url [01:40] mr_fribble: the last thing I said was "create the admin group" [01:40] gogeta, I feel uncomfortable using a third party site [01:40] ChogyDan: What does that mean? To be honest, I just copied that command from a website, I do not know what it means at all. [01:40] sje46: its more a script then a website [01:41] so how do I create the admin group? [01:41] Can someone recommend a blackboard softboard? [01:41] taylor_: you had to have installed that. it is a program that I happen to have used a little [01:41] Typos_King: hmm, I think I better do that ASAP. tnx again. [01:41] sje46: does conversions to [01:41] mr_fribble: addgroup... [01:41] sje46, have you tried youtube-dl in the repo? [01:41] gogeta, it still uses outside servers though, right? [01:41] ZykoticK9, in the repo? I dont know what that means? [01:41] ChogyDan: It's installed [01:42] thank you jrib [01:42] sje46: i think if you convert it does but it uses the youtube sites itsself. [01:42] sje46, youtube-dl is an installable cli app for downloading youtube videos [01:42] one more thing, i mistakenly added my new user to the adm group =/ how do I remove it from that group? [01:42] taylor_: the problem I run into is that I couldn't just use the short form of commands. I needed the whole path written out. Maybe you can execute the whole thing in a bash shell? [01:42] ZykoticK9, right.. I actually downloaded that, but I dont want the whole videos, just the mp3s [01:42] ChogyDan: [01:42] What's the most user friendly linux distro for a computer that has 64mbs of ram, 10gb hd, and intel pent 3 595mhz processor? [01:42] ChogyDan: How do I do that? [01:43] I looked through the man too, and it doesn't have a just mp3 option [01:43] mouse: puppy can run on a pc that small [01:43] mouse: pretty quickly to [01:43] sje46, ahhh - my solution there would be to download the video and use "mplayer -ao pcm $FILENAME.flv" and convert the WAV to an MP3 - but that might be more work then your solution [01:43] gogeta, is it really user friendly though? [01:43] ZykoticK9, right, and whenever I bring up this problem, people suggest a solution like that [01:44] mouse: it has its own repos and stuff [01:44] I just want a simple app or something that's like, one click [01:44] mouse: i run it off a cd on my dead hdd dell c610 [01:44] i don't have any scrapers in a newly compiled 9.11 xbmc in lucid. i also can't set content within my video source? what gives? [01:44] gogeta, it will be for my mom and this will be her first linux box. [01:44] mouse: well its no ubuntu but its easy enough [01:44] taylor_: well, I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that you can put the command into a file, and then execute that against /bin/sh [01:45] gogeta, Alright. Thank you. [01:45] taylor_: so like this: /bin/sh file_with_that_command.sh [01:45] mouse: hears a video [01:45] mouse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpTyjcx2Aew [01:45] but anyway, gogeta, should I download that thing? How do I find it? [01:46] sje46: just go to a youtube video you whant [01:46] * mouse clicks. [01:46] sje46: then add kick to the url like http://www.clickyoutube.com/watch?v=VpTyjcx2Aew [01:46] gogeta, ...okay...I don't like where this is going [01:46] lol oops [01:46] ChogyDan: and I just make a normal file in gedit and save it as .sh? I save it into the bin folder? [01:46] ok, I am getting "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block...." while trying to install ubuntu. Then my system locks up and my monitor posts and error saying "Out of Range". From what I've read, its an issue with ubuntu trying to write to the CD rather than the hard drive. I am pretty new to linux, but I'd like to find a workaround to install it on my system. I read a comment about changing a setting to make it a generic ide device, but [01:46] no, I already said I dont want to use a third party site [01:46] like http://www.kickyoutube.com/watch?v=VpTyjcx2Aew [01:47] right, or abcyoutube.com. But I don't want that [01:47] taylor_: o yeah, good point. Hmm, maybe just keep it in your home folder? I dunno, somewhere where you can track it [01:47] I've got an image of my error messages if that would help anyone. [01:47] ChogyDan: Ok hold on, let me try this [01:48] mouse: i cant get that link to load hears another [01:48] mouse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw5lLaQJWfw&feature=related [01:48] mouse: its built for old machines or new machine to be fast [01:48] the executable is "utube.gambas". And the error is ERROR: #27: Cannot load component 'gb.sdl.sound': cannot find library file . Does ANYONE know what I'm supposed to do with that information? [01:49] taylor_: there are two things I didn't tell you. You need to chmod +x the file, and you need to write out the whole path in the final command [01:50] ChogyDan: How do I do that? Sorry, Im a newb [01:50] gogeta, It'll be better than what she has now. Her boyfriend installed xp on it. [01:50] mouse: lol [01:50] gogeta, inorite [01:50] mouse: its small and lightwight so old machines can handel it [01:51] taylor_: just describe the situation, and I will craft the commands [01:51] mouse: you clould install ubuntu threw alt installer but it will be slow [01:51] ok, I am getting "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block...." while trying to install ubuntu. Then my system locks up and my monitor posts and error saying "Out of Range". From what I've read, its an issue with ubuntu trying to write to the CD rather than the hard drive. I am pretty new to linux, but I'd like to find a workaround to install it on my system. I read a comment about changing a setting to make it a generic ide device, but [01:52] ChogyDan: Ok, so basically I just copied the commands I sent to you into gedit, saved them as .sh files in my downloads folder [01:52] gogeta, It should work then. I showed her ubuntu and mint and different other things so she's all hyped about it. Ubuntu on it will probably make it too slow. [01:52] ChogyDan: Then I copied the location of the file into the keyboard shortcut command [01:52] taylor_: ok, now: chmod +x the_file.sh [01:52] Ddot: what.... version are you installing? [01:52] 9.10 [01:53] mouse: its small to so you will have plenty of space left on that 10gb === couple4674 is now known as chik4674 [01:53] Ddot: and you're installing from cd to hd? [01:53] I bought an 8GB hard drive to run Karmic off of persistently. However, Jaunty fails to make it behave persistently... or perhaps it just fails to boot persistently despite being asked correctly? I've read multiple reports of this. They seem to stem from people who tried to install persistently on USB's larger than 2GB. Was this ever corrected? [01:53] Typos_King: Correct. [01:53] gogeta, how big is it? [01:53] Ddot: did you make partitions for root '/' and swap? [01:53] ChogyDan: Alright now what? [01:53] mouse: 100mb [01:54] gogeta, Wow, that's impressive. [01:54] Typos_King: I have not been given the option to partition yet [01:54] taylor_: ok, now in the shortcut, put: /bin/sh /home/user_name/downloads/the_file.sh [01:54] mouse: well they use smaller apps. rather then open office they use abiword [01:54] mouse: the videos shows you around a bit [01:54] Ddot: .... sooooo, you went with the 'recommended' automatic installation? [01:54] gogeta, is the gui about the same as open office? [01:55] i want my 'www-data' user to be able to read files from a folder belonging to the user 'git' ... how is that done? [01:55] Is there any way i can compile turbo pascal on linux? [01:55] mouse: abiword is pretty good [01:55] Alan502: there are pascal compilers for *nix afaik [01:55] Typos_King: Correct. I am a new linux user. Familiar slightly with the basics of how Linux theory works. [01:56] ChogyDan: Alright I did that, it still doesnt work though. [01:56] Typos_King, i was looking but found compilers only for object pascal, not turbo pascal :( [01:56] gogeta, Can puppy linux install through usb? Her boyfriend did something to the disc drive and it doesn't work anymore. [01:56] taylor_: does the command work in a terminal? any error? [01:56] mouse: it can install from anything [01:56] ChogyDan: It works fine, with no errors [01:56] join #ubuntu-us-al [01:56] gogeta, Cool. [01:56] Alan502: there's also the Lazarus project, not sure how it's going thus far, but it's kinda like a pascal spinoff type, mind you that Delphi language is pretty much just pascal language with GUI stuff, and newer version and name :) [01:57] taylor_: just not with a shortcut. And you tried different keys? [01:57] mouse: just dl the iso and use unetbooting to make it a usb [01:57] how do I search for PPAs? like I am looking for jython 2.5 [01:57] Typos_King, yeah found it on the repositories :) but i think it only supports object pascal [01:57] ChogyDan: Oh wait, you mean this command? ' /bin/sh /home/user_name/downloads/Aero-Snap/left.sh '? [01:57] unetbottin [01:57] taylor_: yes [01:58] gogeta, Alright. Thank you. [01:58] 1415 brukere... [01:58] ChogyDan: Hold on sorry, I just realized that I forgot to type in my username. Let me try that [01:58] file:///join%20%23ubuntu-us-al [01:58] Just a quick one if anybody has time. Is there a reason that the 64 bit of the lts will install side by side witn 7 and 32 will not? [01:58] taylor_: actually, you may not the /bin/sh in front [01:58] Alan502: well.... ahemm... you can run a DOS box in virtualbox and compile there I gather :|, don't think you'd be able to do it in WINE [01:58] taylor_: (now that I think about it) [01:58] Okay, the Karmic startup disk creator won't format my 8GB flash to its liking. I press "Format," it stalls for a moment, then still doesn't like it. [01:58] Ddot: soooo, you install.... and ... it goes ok? [01:59] what is the ubuntu gui installer called? [01:59] Typos_King: No, I cannot install. The moment I hit the install Ubuntu option, it gives me the error. [01:59] hola [01:59] Typos_King, lol, yeah i think that would be the best solution, only my teacher chooses such a language >:( [01:59] una preguntota [02:00] b1shop, ubiquity (or similar) [02:00] redhat's installer was called anaconda [02:00] i blame on my teacher [02:00] ChogyDan: Ok it works in terminal, but not in shortcuts [02:00] Typos_King, but thanks, cya :) [02:00] !es | vortex [02:00] vortex: 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. [02:00] Typos_King: I have to do a hard reset in order to interrupt it and restart. [02:00] taylor_: try removing the /bin/sh part [02:00] ChogyDan: I did, still nothing [02:00] ZykoticK9: do you know if it can be changed? i.e. i would like a linux distro to boot directly to a single gui application [02:01] taylor_: sorry, Im out of ideas [02:01] b1shop, no idea (did you have a LP question about LiveCD about this?)

The thing is I can't get full screen working. I've tried doing "install additions" from the devices menu, but, still, nothing. What's going on? How can I fix this? Oh yeah, using 9.10. [02:19] upside in [02:19] so, anyone? [02:19] how to know if a particular packages is already installed in my system, using apt? === leslie_ is now known as turnor [02:19] (i gotta go to sleep pretty soon, so a answer iis needed) :) [02:19] I agree [02:20] dhaivat: So, when you run the 'install additions' do you get a cd on your virtual desktop? You'll need to run the appropriate script from there. === CQ_ is now known as CQ [02:20] realcoolguy: oh. [02:20] :) [02:20] sasayins: using apt i don't know but you can try aptitude search packagename [02:20] realcoolguy: which script? [02:21] sasayins: apt-cache policy package [02:21] Just to clarify does unetbootin have to be on the system that the os will be installed on? Their instructions are a little hazy. [02:21] realcoolguy: ? [02:21] xangua: thanks, ill try aptitude search [02:21] dhaivat: what ones are listed? [02:21] dhaivat: either linux-x86 or 64bit depending upon which linux you installed. Please be patient when asking questions :) [02:21] mouse: no it just makes a iso usb bottable [02:21] IdoleOne: i should replace the package the package name? === log_in is now known as log|in [02:22] sasayins: yes [02:22] gogeta1, Okay thank you.

[02:22] sasayins: so apt-cache policy firefox will return the installed version [02:22] realcoolguy: (it seems to be doing fine) [02:23] IdleOne: got it :-) thanks again. [02:23] Morydd, sounds like a firewall issue within your host's configuration blocking the mysql port? [02:23] dhaivat: that should be fine. [02:23] dhaivat: looks like it does some if then checking to determine which os you have, and should run the proper script. Sounds like you're fine :) [02:24] k0d3g3ar: this is my local install. [02:24] Morydd, if you run nmap on the box, can you see mysql ports opened? [02:24] Morydd, and do you have the appropriate user/ip level security set for this in MySQL tables?

[02:26] XuMuK: stop that please [02:26] I installed Win 7 on one of my drives and the ubuntu installer isn't even giving me the option to use the entire disk, any fix for this? [02:26] Hi folks. Kmail fails to launch with a segmentation fault. The crash info is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/419563/. This started happening after I uninstalled amarok. Could someone please help me to get kmail working again? [02:27] I really don't want to have to reinstall from scratch just when I'm finally getting everything like I want it... [02:27] morydd: You need to research security in MySQL as a general practice if you are going to install it. Or you'll get pwned real fast [02:28] Morydd, however you might want to see if any other DB admin tool can access the database. phpMyAdmin is really used when you don't have the level of access you have to the box (ie. shared hosting) [02:28] jhambo: have you tried to do a 'reinstall' from synaptic on the kmail program? You also could putting amarok back and seeing if it fixed your problem, if it does not, Amarok might not have been the cause. If it does, you'll have to figure out which required piece amarok is taking with it. [02:29] Does rem-apt-repository work? [02:30] k0d3g3ar: I use phpmyadmin because it's what I'm familar with on my hosting. I only use it local for web development stuff. I'm really not interested in learning to admin the mysql server. I'm trying to figure out why it suddenly stopped working normally. [02:30] IdleOne, "rem-apt-repository"? [02:30] ZykoticK9: remove or delete the ppa [02:31] IdleOne, command not found [02:31] ZykoticK9: add-apt-repository counter part is what I am looking for [02:31] IdleOne, that one i'm familiar with :) [02:32] Anyone code code completely from a text editor? [02:33] randomusr: vim, yep. [02:33] randomusr: unfortunately, I do [02:33] hum?

[02:45] maybe I should use zsh instead? [02:46] I know for certain bash 4.0 doesnt allow it [02:46] install bash 4 then? [02:46] jrcarr2: it dosent seem to here. [02:46] bash --version [02:46] GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) [02:46] realcoolguy: I tried reinstalling with kpackagekit and that didn't help. I had used aptitude to do a purge on amarok to try to get rid of the config files. That also wanted to remove some stuff like networkmanager (why I can't understand). Anyway, even after reinstalling kmail I still get the segmentation fault. [02:47] AdmiralDeath: you will be able to upgrade [02:47] ok cool [02:47] thanks [02:47] ubottu: tell AdmiralDeath about upgrade [02:47] AdmiralDeath, please see my private message [02:47] Dr_Willis, you said "it does seem to here" [02:47] it dosent.. :) [02:47] it dah [02:47] *ah [02:47] misread it :) [02:48] Anyone know of an open source tool that has a bootloader copy and paste/install function like imageburn in windows.

Netbook is wirelessly connected to internet and computer is connected to netbook via ethernet.

[02:58] !emerald | hanasaki [02:58] hanasaki: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [02:58] hanasaki: those are emerald themes.. not compiz themes. [02:58] hanasaki: emerald is still in use.. but its proberly best to not mess with it any more. [02:58] where can you find compiz themes and hwo are they installed? [02:59] hanasaki, compiz doesn't have "themes" [02:59] hanasaki: compiz dosent really have themes.. you are using gnome, so check out various gnome themes. === Cain` is now known as Cain [02:59] hanasaki: check out the 'gnome-art' tool in the repos.. and themes in the repos. [02:59] hanasaki: compiz has multiple window decorators. gtk window decorator uses normal metacity themes. kde window decorator uses normal kwin themes [02:59] hanasaki: emerald is a no-longer-supported window decorator for compiz [02:59] anybody? [03:00] is compiz going away?

[03:00] johnjohn101, if you take into account Gnome3 - it might be [03:00] so nobody is willing to help little old me? =( [03:00] it's cool but really just eye candy [03:00] hanasaki: install the 'gnome-art' tool, 'check the package manager for themes' and check that url i gave earlier [03:01] anyone know of a imageburn replacement in ubuntu, finds bootloader on cd's and reinstalls them in different locations if necessary. [03:01] can anyone help me explain why i cant do internet connection sharing on ubuntu [03:01] thanks [03:02] nicky - You can, it's just difficult to setup. [03:02] nicky: ive found the ' right click and share' thing -- often dosent work properly for me. I always end up editing the smb.conf by hand and enabling the HOME share feature. [03:02] mcurran: How about something more fundamental. Why cant i connect directly to another computer using ethernet. it says eth0 disconected and will refuse to connect [03:02] use dnsmasq [03:02] ipmasq [03:03] i cant connect to my computer tho [03:03] it will say eth0 disconected [03:03] i need to fix that problem before worrying about ics [03:03] I think you need to make the other machine use static ip [03:03] how do i do that [03:03] im on windows 7 [03:03] on the other machine [03:03] google it, i'm not sure. [03:04] why would it require static ip [03:04] x over cable [03:04] if for instance i want to transfer files between two comptuers it shuold let me connect both computers automatically [03:04] I don't know but that's what this tut says: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 [03:05] ok i shall try that [03:05] how do i delete duplicate entries in the disks list? [03:05] nicky: if you're trying to connect machines directly, you have to set each of them statically [03:05] x over cable [03:05] No wired connection: 'm trying to get computer #3 to connect to internet and it doesnt register connected.

[03:08] sasayins: some modules depend on others. like a card-specific sound module may depend on a more-generic module to make the full driver [03:08] hello everybody [03:09] !hello [03:09] 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! [03:09] I did an `aptitude purge amarok` and now when I launch kmail I get a segmentation fault. How can I fix this?? [03:09] jhambo: did you try reinstalling amarok to see if it's a coincidence? [03:09] can anyone tell me how can I get my graphics card to work well in 9.1? it's an old MSI MX4000 T-128 [03:09] nvidia [03:10] maco:thanks, so it means that some modules are using other modules, and it shows in the "Used by" column in lsmod output? [03:10] I need an opinion here. Does having a short HD standby give MORE wear and tear because of the speed ups and downs often? [03:10] maco: yah. Doens't help [03:11] going to plug into the other computer with the ethernet, just for fun. [03:11] Can anybody help me with an X issue? [03:11] I've just spent like two weeks configuring my system and now it looks like I need to reinstall becuase of these wierd bug in the dependencies... [03:11] arbo-: just ask [03:11] jhambo: sounds like an unrelated bug in kmail then. does DrKonqi come up and ask you to report it to bugs.kde.org? [03:12] sasayins: right-o [03:12] !anybody | arbo- [03:12] arbo-: 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? [03:12] maco: yah [03:12] :P [03:12] jhambo: do that then. and then try making a new user and see if that user is able to run kmail. if so, something in your .kde is affecting it [03:12] Just installed ubuntu and this laptop has an nvidia card so I installed nvidia drivers [03:12] but [03:12] now I can't see the terminal shell [03:12] it works, but it's solid, no text. [03:12] maco: thanks. so that number in the "Used by" column from lsmod output indicates the number of a particular module? [03:13] sasayins: i think the number just tells you how many are to the right of it [03:13] Aggg. Okay I guess that makes sense [03:13] jhambo: Kmail uses Akonadi. You didn't remove that, did you? [03:13] I am not understanding why this doesnt work. My ubuntu machine doesnt connect via ethernet to my windows 7 machine. i gave it static ip 192.168.0.1 and dns and default is also the same it still does not connect what am I doing wrong? (i set these settings on the windows machine) [03:13] TomG: donno maybe lemme see [03:13] sasayins: oh or what you said [03:13] sasayins: since my hypothesis is clearly wrong [03:14] sasayins: hrmph. i with the lsmod manpage told me this [03:14] maco: oh yeah, thanks. is the word "module" the same as the word" "device driver"? [03:14] sasayins: sorta... device drivers can be in many pieces, and those pieces are the modules [03:14] I'm impressed: I haven't really ever needed Wine, But I downloaded an e-book (.pdf format) that had a signature. It raised heck with adobe reader. I loaded Wine, installed a copy of adobe pro, cleared the signature, and saved the file. Viola, problem solved. Imho Wine is pretty cool :) [03:14] sasayins: not necessarily, but modules can control devices [03:15] maco: wow. sounds complicated. [03:15] sasayins: but there are non-driver things that are modules too, like the ipv6 module that lets your do ipv6 networking [03:15] h00k: i see.. thanks [03:15] sasayins: but for example if you look for all the stuff that starts with "snd" ... that makes up your sound drivers [03:15] maco: oh i see, that a module is not only a device driver [03:16] sasayins: correct :) [03:16] sasayins: right [03:16] maco: but device driver is in the form of a module? [03:16] hi [03:16] sasayins: yes [03:16] h00k, maco: thanks [03:16] TomG: I reinstalled all the akonadi stuff just now but I still get the segmentation fault... [03:16] sasayins: drivers *can* be built into the kernel, but thats not terribly convenient [03:16] any tip on how to burn an osx img file to an usb disk and make it bootable? [03:17] can someone help me [03:17] josemoreira: clonezilla? [03:17] set up my internet connection sharing [03:17] sasayins: i once had a driver that was buggy for networking and it was very useful to be able to unload and reload the module. if it had been built in, i would have had to reboot (and maybe it wouldve made the computer crash instead of just disconnecting from the network) [03:17] jhambo, gonna try it === samantha is now known as tawd [03:17] maco: i see. so the drivers, directly talk to the kernel? or all modules have the priviledge to talk directly to the kernel [03:17] nicky: are you using Network Manager? On the ubox? [03:17] nicky the rule is pretty much, a couple of exceptions, like devises us crossover cables, unlike devices use straight through cables.... put the ends of the cable side by side.... do the coulours go in the same order? [03:18] sasayins: they're kernel modules :) [03:18] maco: i see. so its loadable and not directly tied to the kernel? [03:18] whats the best way to do voice chat in ubuntu if both parties have ubuntu? [03:18] jhambo: Check private message [03:18] maco: i see. so that modules directly built for the kernel is called kernel modules. [03:18] sasayins: they're loadable pieces of kernel. you could compile a kernel such that everything is one big chunk instead of loadable if you wanted to, but that takes away some convenience [03:19] test [03:19] sasayins: one big chunk is also faster to boot though, because each module takes about half-a-second to load at boot [03:19] sasayins: so its a trade off [03:19] maco: i see, like if you want to build a module tied in the kernel, you have to compile all the kernel? [03:20] sasayins: nope you can compile individual modules too [03:20] jhambo, doesnt seem to be what i have, i have a 7gb osx DVD img which want to write and boot from an usb disk [03:20] maco: i see. that is convenient [03:20] sasayins: but when you compile a whole kernel, you get to pick what each piece does, whether its kernel or in-built [03:20] i used dd but the usb disk wasnt bootable [03:20] sasayins: er...whether its module or in-built [03:21] helo [03:22] I am having problems getting my ubuntu machine to connect via ethernet to my windows machine. eth0 refuses to be connected [03:22] nicky: You've had two responses so far... [03:22] maco: thanks. ok my brain is bleeding right now, to much information. :-) thanks, by the way im reading some device driver book and its pretty much hard to understand hehe [03:22] sasayins: is that LDD3? [03:22] sasayins: by Greg K-H? [03:22] maco: yeah, o'reilly :-) [03:22] nicky: check iflema's response first :) [03:23] Is anybody good at editing themes? I'm trying to edit one and I cant seem to get the colors right. Not sure what Im missing. [03:23] sasayins: i have that book :) it's for 2.6.8 though which is rather old... 2004 or 2005 i think [03:23] a [03:23] maco: oh, but do you think I can use it to learn device driver for the new kernel? [03:24] hello all - multi-kernel question: how might I go about installing a 2.6.24 (hardy) kernel alongside my current Karmic kernel? [03:24] sasayins: probably depends on what subsystem you're looking at, but i doubt *too* much in that space has changed. [03:25] nirvous - just install it sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, grub will create another entry and preserve the old kernel. [03:25] maco: yeah, im thinking that too, can you suggest updated books for linux device driver using latest tools? [03:25] Is there any reliable voice chat for linux now?? [03:25] same problem: more testing I plugged it in. Did not pick up the wired signal. ifconfig changed to carrier 20 (rather than 0) and the modem pc and receive lights were flashing, send black. -- SUM: not picking up wireless signal - not this computer another one. Please help.. it's been more than days. [03:25] you might want to just install the linux-image and headers instead, since the upgrade will be another version [03:26] * tripelb changes name to BigBoobs to get more help. [03:26] !guidelines > tripelb [03:26] tripelb, please see my private message [03:27] mcurran - thanks. yes - if possible, i'd like to avoid an entire upgrade. do I need to add a different repository? [03:27] Thank you IdleOne for helping out my sense of humor. Actually someone suggested it a few weeks ago. [03:27] nicky to connect or network two computers dont you need a crossover cable or firewire [03:28] hi [03:28] sasayins: there's one linux kernel book based on the 2.6.2x line, but i forget the title. crimsun would know, as he owns a copy [03:28] What application do you recommend to monitor internet connections? [03:28] like a firewall [03:28] tripelb: Whoever suggested you break the rules, was wrong to suggest it. please be patient (I know you have been until now) [03:29] sasayins: / maco: Essential Linux Device Drivers, Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran [03:29] crimsun: thanks :) [03:29] sasayins: / maco: Prentice Hall, 2008 [03:29] crimsun: wow thats fast, thanks :-) [03:30] firestarter or gufw [03:30] crimsun: are you at home staring at it? [03:30] maco: yes. [03:30] uLinux: pf is awesome if you want to try BSD [03:30] crimsun: i think I need to visit my local bookstore [03:30] i just want a simple app to monitor connections [03:33] uLinux iftop 4 current traffic, netstat is pretty good and the logs in /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog or the lo viewer [03:41] how do I view if processes are running in 32 or 64-bit mode ? === mcopple is now known as PenguinistaKC [03:42] Hi again. My USB Startup Disk Creator on Karmic keeps failing to format my 8GB flash drive. I've heard countless reports of older versions failing on drives > 2GB. Is this such an occurrence? [03:43] I can format the drive however I like via GParted, but USB disk creator is either unhappy with the format or returns that the free space is zero. [03:45] Hey guys. Just deleted the partitions on a drive, and now I'm trying to format it. But I am getting this: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [03:45] mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) [03:45] Any help? [03:45] I'm going to try updating it :P [03:45] Greetings all, i'm having some trouble with my internet... It halts/drops connection all the time, and it makes downloading anything really tough. [03:46] when I used to have windows installed on this laptop it was no problem. I really like ubuntu, but this is getting in the way of my activities. any idea how to fix it? [03:46] joshdreamland: I've done it on an 8gb flash disk.. are you giving the disk persistent storage space? === PenguinistaKC is now known as PenguinistaKC_ === PenguinistaKC_ is now known as mcopple === mcopple is now known as PenguinistaKC_ === PenguinistaKC_ is now known as PenguinistaKC [03:47] switch10_: Doing so from Jaunty creates the disk, but fails to make it persistent. And yes, I tried giving it the entire drive. It never asks me how much to use on Karmic, because it can't find a partition it considers acceptable. === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [03:47] joshdreamland: it is formated as fat32? [03:48] I'm thinking of backup all the stuff then formatt install XP (for gaming) and then install ubuntu as primary system. what do you guys think? [03:48] switch10_: When I format it as fat32, it is recognized, but it says it requires formatting. Telling it to proceed with the format causes it to drop the partition and remove the drive from the list. [03:49] uLinux: backing up /home and anything you have edited in /etc should be good. I would use rsync [03:49] Idleone of course. It could be manic chaos in here. The traffic is very high. And people get served, in spades! Is wonderful. [03:50] joshdreamland: that is normal. it should unmount it to format it, and then continue with the install. [03:50] switch10_: To clarify, any formatting must be done with GParted; having usb-creator do it causes the partition to be dropped and the drive removed from its list [03:50] it refuses to let me continue with install, and removes it from the list so I can not select it any longer... [03:51] joshdreamland: hmm, that is odd. I don't know why it would do that.. You could always do it manually... [03:51] uLinux which game? [03:51] switch10_: Do which part manually? USB disk creation or formatting? [03:51] voss749, i know what u mean.. but it runs better on windows [03:51] :P [03:52] cs 1.6 [03:52] dont they have a linux client for that? [03:52] joshdreamland: the USB disk creation. there is a how to on google somewhere i'll see if I can find it.. [03:52] switch10_: also, it has ceased to remove it from the list; now it just formats it in a manner that is not to its liking and leaves the warning sign next to it [03:52] it's from pendrivelinux.com, I bet [03:52] I despise their walkthroughs. [03:53] i would have to use wine and playonlinux.. etc or pay to play on linux bah [03:53] They are tailored specifically to one architecture and one version, and offer no insight into what changes between either of those. [03:53] For example, all of their scripts assume i386. I'm on AMD 64. [03:53] I cannot delete a folder. There is a .fuse_xxxxx file, deleting this file results in another .fuse file being created. How can I get rid of this .fuse thing? (It is a NTFS partition, i can't currently unmount, because I am uploading a big file from another dir in that partition) [03:54] I've never successfully created a persistent USB with any other tool than usb-creator [03:55] uLinux what you suggested would be the best idea [03:55] joshdreamland: the tut i saw was not architecture dependant. basically just copying files.. === ubuntu is now known as awc [03:56] Does anyone have experience with mounting an external esata drive in ubuntu? [03:57] how can I delete an unwanted .fuse....... file? [03:57] Hey Fuckers [03:58] join bitlbee [03:58] mt [03:58] hmw: are you using fuse to mount your ipod? [03:58] switch10_: i have an NTFS partition mounted via fstab [03:59] i know, it is some not-really-deleted file and it will be really-deleted when I unmount the partition, but I cant do that [03:59] (i dont "want to") [03:59] ahhh heeem [03:59] lol [04:00] hmw: a usb drive right?? === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 [04:00] no [04:00] sda5 [04:00] i am short of exploding [04:00] i need those 500 MB now! [04:01] hmw: Im prety sure you dont need fuse to mount an internal drive. so remove fuse and then try to delete the file [04:01] hello here [04:01] hmw: fuse is used to mount usb drives.. [04:01] i never intended to use fuse... that came automatically... how to? kill a process? [04:02] hmw: you installed it. You had to have. [04:02] switch10_: this is Ubuntu 9.04 and I most certainly did not enter anything like apt-get isntall fuse [04:02] i try to launch bitlbee (i type /connect localhost in status) but i have this answer from the server : 22:51 [localhost] !localhost BitlBee-IRCd initialized, please go on === zachary is now known as Guest24078 [04:02] 22:51 [localhost] -!- Irssi: Connection lost to localhost [04:02] 22:51 [localhost] -!- This nick contains invalid characters [04:03] hmw: it probably came with something you installed. sudo apt-get purge fuse [04:03] perhaps it was a dependency for ntfs-progs? [04:03] i'm in xubuntu 9.10, and want to have a desktop cube. i installed compiz, but the options aren't doing anything. am i doing something wrong? [04:03] hmw: :) yes you did. it was a dependency [04:04] switch10_: you said, it is used to mount USB drives. Sounds like a bad idea to remove the software completely. Shouldn't I just kill this gvfs-fuse-daemon?

[04:32] SpaceCowboy40404, it's changing the ownership of everything in /etc/ventrilo to the user ventrilo and group ventrilo [04:32] What about the drivers ? [04:32] SpaceCowboy40404: it changes the owner and the group of the file [04:32] SpaceCowboy40404: that recursively changes ownership to user 'ventrilo' in everything in the /etc/ventrilo folder [04:32] switch10: So if I have a GPL program that I have downloaded I can use it to provide a service (data backup for instance) and charge for that, but I have to offer them the source (like always)? [04:32] ok cool thats what im wanting to do :) [04:32] What can I do to fix my administrative services? [04:33] SecondInfinity: thats my understanding.. [04:33] SpaceCowboy40404: you can check the manpage of chown for more information [04:33] how hould i configure the adaptors in net in virtualbox for have internet? [04:34] my /etc/hostname file contains 'blah' and that is what is returned when running 'hostname' . this is what i have for my hosts/hostname files: http://pastebin.com/Shc51QZc [04:34] this last part of the guide it gets kind of vague... can i link the guide and someone tell me what its doing and if the steps are right? [04:34] Hey guys. Just deleted the partitions on a drive, and now I'm trying to format it. But I am getting this: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) [04:34] switch10: basically I want to use the ntfsprogs program ntfsclone to do windows image backups for people and either store them on their hard drives or on mine and then charge them a fee for it [04:35] Any help? [04:35] So noone knows? is there another channel I can get help in? [04:35] SecondInfinity: I do that for a job. Its totally legal. [04:36] AdmiralDeath: Can you use sudo successfully? [04:36] SecondInfinity: no one will want the source code either :) [04:36] yes I can [04:36] switch10_: Its different that paid for programs because you have to buy a special license, but GPL stuff really lowers the entry barrier for that type of business/service [04:36] AdmiralDeath: So, it's just 'administrative services' that's giving you issues? [04:36] switch10_: you can pay like $100+ for the business license for some software. [04:36] but when I go to open the update manager and ask it to check it just pulls up a blank white box [04:36] yes [04:36] this last part of the guide it gets kind of vague... can i link the guide and someone tell me what its doing and if the steps are right? [04:37] AdmiralDeath: Alright, do you get errors if you run `sudo apt-get update` (close update manager, and any other package managers) [04:37] ok give me a sec and I will try that [04:38] is there a dc++ chat [04:38] SecondInfinity: thats why I dont use that junk. [04:38] hey guys, need a little help with aptitude , i somehow selected all my packages and put it into 'apt-get autoremove' can someone help me deselect that [04:38] ok it seems I can no longer open a terminal either [04:39] AdmiralDeath: Which configuration files were you editing earlier? [04:39] Nvidia driver [04:39] I have a laptop with a GeForce 9600M. The monitor won't wake up after sleep. Any help? [04:39] vladikoff: so now apt-get is waiting for you to either type y or n? [04:39] iflema there is an entry for etho0 eth1 and lo [04:39] AdmiralDeath: Alright, that probably wasn't the cause of this. Try ctrl-alt-f1 (use ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to your GUI) to get to a tty, and try it there. [04:40] IdleOne, it gave me a list of like 50+ packages and says, 'use apt-get autoremove' to remove them' [04:40] IdleOne, i was trying to access the menu in aptitude and i think pressed some weird buttons [04:40] vladikoff: ok, don't use that command [04:40] IdleOne, yeah i figured, it's scary [04:41] It wont let me log in [04:41] tells me incorrect login [04:41] vladikoff: iirc autoremove just deletes the .deb files but doesn't uninstall the packages [04:41] admiral death. do you know how to change your password? [04:41] tripelb and onboard and pci network cards eth0 and eth1.... do not work but are listed without in ifconfig without ip addresses? yes? [04:41] AdmiralDeath: Did you change any other config files recently? sudoers? hostname stuff? [04:41] IdleOne, ah does the system need the deb files? [04:41] vladikoff: only to install [04:42] No i dont know how to change my pass [04:42] I have a laptop with a GeForce 9600M. The monitor won't wake up after sleep. Any help? [04:42] iflema, copying the line [04:42] IdleOne, ok i shall DO IT then [04:42] and no I have not edited any other configs === hexdump_ is now known as Kingpin__ === Kingpin__ is now known as Kingpin_ [04:42] can anyone recommend a good notebook that's 100% compatible with ubuntu out of the box? [04:43] IdleOne, oh shit [04:43] AdmiralDeath: Alright, well, I'd try rebooting, you might have a memory leak or something, and these symptoms sort of would make sense with that. Do you have a LiveCD handy just incase you need to boot to that? [04:43] !language | vladikoff [04:43] vladikoff: what? [04:43] vladikoff: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:43] vladikoff: also please watch the language? [04:43] IdleOne, doomed [04:43] jmcantrell, the one you buy [04:43] jmcantrell: my EEE 1000 that I'm on is ;) [04:43] yes I do have a CD handy. and I have tried rebooting [04:43] hi all [04:43] should I try again? [04:43] vladikoff: doomed can mean so many things [04:43] IdleOne: howdy :) [04:44] h00k: yep. that's what i have now. love it, but looking for something with more power [04:44] * uLinux new Lost episode "is out" [04:44] heya geekphreak [04:44] IdleOne, it's deleting everything now [04:44] ah well [04:44] thanks anyway [04:44] vladikoff: everything like what?> [04:44] what would make my monitor go black after 10mins? [04:44] all my packages [04:44] not deb files [04:44] bye now [04:44] lies [04:44] hanasaki1: power save settings? === hanasaki1 is now known as hanasaki [04:44] i'm looking for a notebook that doesn't have all the bells and whistles. just power and solidly built [04:44] h00k: I turned those off in the gnome powermanager [04:45] hanasaki, screensaver [04:45] -.- [04:45] I will try rebooting again [04:45] hello i have just installed ubuntu but it cant find my screen it say unknown [04:45] jmcantrell, some features of any laptop might not be supported. the only problems are sometimes graphics ... ethernet/wifi used to be a problem but it's much better now [04:45] hanasaki: your monitor might also have settings that make it do that [04:45] ok easier question hopefully: I need to copy a text file whose path is: /home/ubuntu/ventrilo.txt to another directory located at: /etc/init.d what would i type? [04:45] etho link encasp: ethernet HWaddr 00:c0:f0:58:18:68 / inet5 addr: fe80::2c0:f0ff:fe58:1868:/64 Scope:Link while on this computer I get a real intet address looking number then Bcast:(another number then Mask another number /nextline inet addr: and a similar thing. It's entirely missing. [04:46] iflema, ^^^ [04:46] so now i have to run in 600x800 [04:46] uLinux: h00k the screen saver is set to set to 2 mins / when the screen goes to screensaver its fine.. in 10mins it goes black and they system will not respond to keyboard or mouse.. even the numlock key won't turn its light on/off [04:46] i am in the home/ubuntu directory [04:46] bluebaron: that's what i'm asking. which laptop(s) work well with no tweaking? [04:46] tripelb pastebin.com and post link back [04:46] iflema, I seem to have misplaced my flash drive [04:46] anyone knows how to change screen [04:46] huh.... [04:46] I cant copy it except by hand. [04:46] jmcantrell, I'm saying, buy the one you want. It will probably work. [04:47] so would it be: sudo cp ventrilo.txt /etc/init.d [04:47] tripelb ok [04:47] h00k: uLinux so it's a lockup after it goes black [04:48] iflema, I can compare it to this one and tell you the differences. rx packets 1027 errores o dropped 0 the rest.... tx packets; 0 errors: 10 dropped, 0 overurns 0 frame [04:48] All right, nothing's working [04:48] I'm taking this into my own hands === Kingpin_ is now known as hexdump_ [04:48] hanasaki: it's not going into suspend or hibernate? [04:48] h00k: don't think so... the fan is still running and it just "blinks" out to black. power is still on [04:49] no major drive activity when it goes black [04:49] back in 10 mins.. wanna test something... h00k will you watch to see when it says my ID goes off line.. if it does.... [04:51] tripelb if there is a listing for eth0... A (1) network card atleast is ready to go... now does this modem do dhcp? [04:51] sudo cp ventrilo.txt /etc/init.d .........ha that worked im learning this stuff [04:51] ok I tried restarting and it still wont let me log into the command line interface [04:51] woot woot [04:51] iflema, I dont know dhcp, what it means. This is a cable modem from Time-Warner. [04:52] i have a acer sceern but ubuntu cant find it how can i tell ubuntu what screen i have [04:52] now a hard question: How do I make a *.txt file an executable and add it to the boot sequence? [04:53] tripelb ok [04:53] AdmiralDeath: which cli you cannot get into ? [04:53] SpaceCowboy40404, what's in this .txt? [04:54] I was told to press ctrl+alt+F1 [04:54] and to log in [04:54] costre: here is a link to it: http://rocketeerbkw.com/sites/default/files/ventrilo.txt [04:54] it says my login is incorrecty [04:54] incorrect* [04:54] AdmiralDeath: and you just get a blinkinh cursor? [04:54] no [04:54] oh ok [04:54] costre: i am mucking my way through this install guide :)O [04:55] AdmiralDeath: sure login name and passwd is ok , it is case senstive :) [04:55] tripelb have you setup a similar configuration like this for another ubuntu machine? what version of ubuntu? [04:55] someone said it might be a memory leak [04:55] SpaceCowboy40404, You could try to chmod +x the txt-file, and add the entire location of the txtfile to /etc/rc.local [04:56] that should execute it at startup [04:56] costre: does this acomplish that: sudo update-rc.d ventrilo default [04:56] if it's executable :) [04:56] costre: as far as i know its just a .txt file? [04:56] AdmiralDeath: dont think memory leak would give login ncorrect though afaik [04:56] SpaceCowboy40404, Not sure, it kinda sounds like it [04:57] SpaceCowboy40404, Yes, but it contains batch-like commands [04:57] well I am having other problems as well [04:57] I cannot update and cant open terminal [04:58] iflema, I've done it many times. With ubuntu you just plug in and go. 6.04 ++ 9.04, 9.10 I have never had an issue, dsl or cable. [04:58] same with win and ethernet [04:58] AdmiralDeath: same error message? [04:58] no error message [04:58] Hey, guys. I've been having a problem. I have Windows 7 installed on my main drive and a second drive has Ubuntu. Once I install Ubuntu, I have to restart. So I do so. Once I do, I can't boot anymore. I get a Grub Loading. and it just stops there. Sometimes it goes to Grub Rescue. I can get back onto Windows by repairing boot through the install disc. I've tried a few things with reinstalling GRUB2, but no dice. [04:58] jsut blank white boxes [04:58] just* [04:58] AdmiralDeath: are you logged into X? [04:59] what is X? [04:59] Sorry I am very new to this [04:59] do you desktop up ? [04:59] is there a simple way to restrict a user to his/her home directory only?

I've been having a problem. I have Windows 7 installed on my main drive and a second drive has Ubuntu. Once I install Ubuntu, I have to restart. So I do so. Once I do, I can't boot anymore. I get a Grub Loading. and it just stops there. Sometimes it goes to Grub Rescue. I can get back onto Windows by repairing boot through the install disc.

[05:02] just a blank white qquare [05:02] square* [05:02] AdmiralDeath: when you logged in what session did you choose ? [05:02] admiralDeath its possible that it cant find the icon [05:02] sevion: can u load grub [05:02] what do you mean session? [05:03] duleep: No. Grub hasn't been loading at all. [05:03] It autolog's in [05:03] AdmiralDeath: when you start pc and enter login name /password, just below it ask you which session you wana choose , gnome , failsafe/kde [05:03] arg... im stuck on this last step... the sudo update-rc.d ventrilo defaults [05:03] is giving me an error of: /etc/init.d/ventrilo: file does not exist [05:03] even though i am sitting here looking at it? [05:03] duleep: It'll say Grub Loading. and stop. Nothing else happens past that point except for the occasional Grub Rescue. [05:03] AdmiralDeath: i think you took of X, the gui :) [05:03] I have it set to login automatically [05:03] AdmiralDeath: did you uninstall any applications [05:03] No [05:04] AdmiralDeath did you change your theme? [05:04] no [05:04] AdmiralDeath: whats your login name? [05:04] what command is it to see what programs i have installed and also to print it [05:04] inman [05:05] AdmiralDeath: and you are using that in ctrl+alt+f2 ? [05:05] yes [05:06] update-rc.d [-n] defaults [NN | SS KK] [05:06] ....what are the NN and SSKK for? [05:06] hiexpo: dpkg --get-selections > mypackages && gedit mypackages from there just print it like any normal document [05:06] duleep: Are you there? [05:06] yap === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever [05:06] tripelb you have atleast one nic working so...... router changed config??? or cable stuffed???? or what did change by the way.... just oneday poof.... gone....? [05:06] SpaceCowboy40404: explained in the man page for update-rc.d [05:06] AdmiralDeath: does anything open , when you press alt+f1 [05:06] duleep: Do you know how to fix this? [05:06] what os u first install? [05:07] duleep: Windows 7 [05:07] yes it pulls up the command line interface [05:07] duleep: I have it setup like this: HDD1 -> Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, HDD2 -> Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit [05:07] are u renstall grub using live cd? [05:07] AdmiralDeath: well bring cli up , so we can type some commands [05:08] I cannot type any commands [05:08] duleep: I have tried reinstalling GRUB many different ways, none of them have worked. [05:08] it wants me to log in first [05:08] How can I change my root password system-wide? [05:08] tells me my login is wrong [05:08] how do i restart the sound daemon? [05:08] AdmiralDeath: not ctrl+alt+f1 , just alt+f1 [05:08] ah [05:08] pulls up applications [05:09] AdmiralDeath: goto accesories, then open terminal, use arrow keys [05:09] thanks genii // but that does not show what i have compiled myself what will show that i forgot :( [05:09] which internet monitor do you recommend for ubuntu? [05:09] lgc: the root password is system wide there is only one [05:09] ij standby [05:09] ok* [05:09] waht did u mean setup? [05:09] still just a blank white box [05:10] AdmiralDeath: even when you try to open terminal ? [05:10] hiexpo: If you compiled them into deb packages it will show them. [05:10] duleep: duleep: My first hard drive has Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed on it and my second hard drive has Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit installed on it. [05:10] ok i got that [05:11] yes even when I try and open terminal [05:11] hiexpo: There is no real way to get a comprehensive list of stuff you have installed by compiling with something like make install where it puts them directly into the filesystem [05:11] !next [05:11] should I just reinstall ubuntu? [05:11] lgc: sudo passwd [05:11] AdmiralDeath: what happens when you press alt+f2? [05:11] standby [05:11] genii, - but like if i installed sh packages they don't and i know one i have installed that was a tar is not showing and its there and runs [05:11] AdmiralDeath: whats the problem? [05:12] ok i understand what the update-rc.d is doing now and my problem is with the text file inside the folder what i am trying to make an executable.. this is beyond my ability [05:12] genii, oh ok [05:12] my administrative services and terminal are all out of whack [05:12] duleep: Something new: When I boot up and hit F12 for boot options, I can select Hard Drive and then from there I can select the Hard Drive my Ubuntu is installed on. It will get to Grub Loading., error: no such partition, grub rescue> [05:13] geekphreak it opens a run application prompt [05:13] hiexpo: One of the points of having a packaging system is to be able to track what's installed. when you do make install or such it bypasses the package manager's ability to track it. [05:13] AdmiralDeath: good 1 sec [05:13] ok [05:13] AdmiralDeath: can you tye this there? [05:14] type what? [05:14] genii, - true but many apps are not available in the repos so onemost install other ways ya know [05:14] holy cheese and rice i have spent two days unsuccessfully trying to do what took me 5 minutes to do with windows... i wan tot stab myself in the eye with a rusty spork [05:14] AdmiralDeath: gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf [05:14] hiexpo: If you look in the file ~/.bash_history it will have a record of commands you have recently typed in. You may find at least some of them there if you find something like: cd prog-name then: make and: make install etc [05:14] SpaceCowboy40404: what are you trying to do? [05:14] sereph: commit suicide :) [05:15] hiexpo: Otherwise it is up to you to keep good records of what you manually install [05:15] and on a serious note? [05:15] h00k: yo there mate? [05:15] geekphreak: yes [05:15] seraph: can i just link u the guide and show you were i got to when things started going wrong? [05:15] genii, ya i know i was just tring an easy way out because i am recopiling a new cd [05:15] sure [05:15] h00k: what was the shortcut for gui to add user? [05:15] ok standby I will try [05:15] pm it to me if you'd like [05:15] AdmiralDeath: ok [05:16] Sereph: http://rocketeerbkw.com/content/installing-ventrilo-server-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala .... i got to "Make vent start when computer boots" [05:16] if u don't have any document in ubuntu, can u try to reinstall ubhuntu your same drive [05:16] !flash [05:16] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:16] h00k: the one which is under system >>administration>>user and groups, any shortcut for it? [05:16] geekphreak: users-admin [05:16] h00k: thanks [05:17] it attempts to pull up the administrative services box and it is also a blank white box [05:17] geekphreak: no prob [05:17] Any one have info on a fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/346289 ? [05:17] AdmiralDeath: ok last try [05:17] AdmiralDeath: press alt+f2 again [05:17] Hi [05:17] SpaceCowboy40404: be right back... for some reason my terminal is freakingout [05:17] Adobe flash is choppy in fullscreen, like in say youtube clips [05:17] ok [05:17] iflema, I have two different computers. This one, it works. The other one, it doesnt. -- I have no router. I just unplugged the ethenet from this computer and plugged it into the other one. -- no switches. Nothing. [05:17] AdmiralDeath: type gksudo users-admin [05:18] duleep: I have reinstalled Ubuntu multiple times, actually :-/ [05:18] I've read that Scribus has a lot of problems on Ubuntu due to canonical patches. I found a how-to for fixing some..but it gives an instruction for the "Library Path" tab in QtConfig...I cannot find that tab. [05:18] Sereph, will that change the keyring password and my user password (which is the same by default)? [05:18] next question is when i open fspot it loads and than just closes [05:18] ok geek I will try that [05:19] !gnash [05:19] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [05:19] AdmiralDeath: we are trying to add a user [05:19] xiven, I was told that years ago and had to stick with the Windoze version. [05:19] Gnash doesn't work very well unfortunately. [05:19] Any one have issues using gnash? [05:19] grr [05:19] sorry brother i'm not enough to solve your problem try with other [05:19] ok again it trys to open the administrative services window and it is a blank white box [05:19] phenom> I experience a lot with Gnash it not loading videos [05:19] what's the name of the character map installed in ubuntu? [05:20] AdmiralDeath: not good [05:20] I would recommend downloading the official Adobe Flash Player for Linux [05:20] yeah thats what I thought [05:20] I am going to reinstall [05:20] AdmiralDeath: did you change theme or do something man? [05:20] if u have any screenshot plz send [05:20] unfortunately watching youtube flicks and the like in full screen are too choppy to watch,, I remember this bug on another computer dating back to ibex iirc [05:20] It's not open source, but honestly...it works the best from the choices from my experiences [05:20] Hey, guys. I've been having a problem. I have Windows 7 installed on my main drive and a second drive has Ubuntu. Once I install Ubuntu, I have to restart. So I do so. Once I do, I can't boot anymore. I get a Grub Loading. and it just stops there. Sometimes it goes to Grub Rescue. I can get back onto Windows by repairing boot through the install disc. I've tried a few things with reinstalling GRUB2, but no dice. [05:20] AdmiralDeath: ok , beofre you do that use live cd to backup your data on $HOME, if its not encrypted [05:21] xiven, Yea, I have the 64 bit version installed [05:21] iferna I am trying to get ONE computer together that works. This one keeps freezing. No progress on that. (sometimes it seems flash and sometimes hardware) So I was given this other computer, tried it, installed Ubuntu, and does not see the internet signal. I say, OK I'll put in a second (PCI) ethernet card. (that's why there was eth0 and eth1)Still nothing. [I am so basic, so unsophistocated, but I am trying to be clear.] -- if I had $$ I would not be playing [05:21] with old computers. I bought this one used and it's been frying piece by piece. [05:21] I have nothing on the HD anyway so it does not matter [05:21] And works fine other than the choppy issue [05:21] I just installed it today [05:21] AdmiralDeath: well then bombs away [05:21] Sevion: it sounds like windows ate your bootloader, you tried the 'recoverr grub after installing windows instructions' ? [05:21] indeed [05:21] !who [05:21] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:21] phenom> Well if you have the official Flash player for linux, then you should be set [05:21] Unless you're looking for something open source [05:21] i created a new account, but the user can still access and look at folders beyond their home folder [05:21] xiven, No,, just looking for something that works heh [05:21] For open source I would look into swfcodec, or something like that [05:21] h00k: I actually installed Windows before Ubuntu. [05:21] SpaceCowboy40404: ok im back [05:22] Seraph: ok [05:22] is there something simple i can do to prevent the user from browsing beyond their home folder? [05:22] sevion: how do u send msg every time like this " duleep: " [05:22] h00k: Though, when I repaired boot, it may have done that. [05:22] Sevion: are tou using any third party antivirus or backup solutions? those have a tendency to kill grub. [05:22] tripelb: well wifi cards all need diffrent guieds [05:22] swfcodec, gnash, and Adobe's Flash Player for Linux are the only choices I know of. [05:22] duleep: Just type it out. Like: Sevion: [05:22] h00k: I do have AVG Free [05:22] phenom: my understanding is that the official adobe flash works best. I went to all kinds of trouble to remove the other and install that. [05:22] What options can anyone tell me about for a PDF Editor/PDF Creator for linux? [05:22] Sevion: any backup managers? [05:22] SpaceCowboy40404: im going to neet the link again though [05:23] h00k: None. [05:23] xiven: Openoffice can save to PDF [05:23] hi ppl [05:23] gogeta, I am not talking about a wifi card. I am only plugging into a WIRED connection. [05:23] Sereph: http://rocketeerbkw.com/content/installing-ventrilo-server-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala .... i got to "Make vent start when computer boots" [05:23] Last time I used OpenOffice to create a PDF or open a PDF, when I viewed result with a viewer, it was all messed up [05:23] Sevion: usually that causes problems, things overwrite the MBR without looking [05:23] xiven: openoffice isn't for opening PDF's but it will create them [05:23] tripelb: that should work pretty easly unless your not using auto ip [05:23] Plus, I don't want to have to next tables in OO.O in order to mix pictures into text and stuf [05:23] has anyone got an opinion , what is better virtual box or vmware wkstation under ubuntu [05:24] SpaceCowboy40404: what seems to be the problem? [05:24] h00k: Well, I have gone into my Windows install disc and used bootrec.exe /fixboot and bootrec.exe /fixmbr, would that do anything? I have tried reinstalling GRUB2 after doing these actions. [05:24] g0r3_0f_g0d: well vbox is free [05:24] My use is desktop publishing, newspaper as PDF (or any other worthy file format [released version should not be editable]) [05:24] gogeta, it always works automatically, in windows or ubuntu, but on this particular computer it does not. A standard Ubuntu 9.04 liveCD [05:24] tripelb, Ill keep hacking at it. But this is very unfortunate, this bug has been around for a long time, but this is an upstream issue I'm sure. [05:24] Sereph: i dont know what the hell im doing starting with that step or im following the commands incorrectly as they are not working [05:24] h00k: looks like its something to do with the 3D screen savers.. the 2D don't lockup [05:25] gore> VBox is better if you like open source, VMware is commercial and expensive but does work a little better IMHO [05:25] yeah doesn't that mean in theory that vmware should be better if they dare charging for it , i mean like more stable n stuff [05:25] Sevion: those will kill your grub, you then should be able to reinstall grub using instructions online to your mbr, boot into Ubuntu, do a sudo update-grub, and you should be set [05:25] xiven: any news on what oracle plans to do w/ vbox? [05:25] tripelb: wrong cable types if its a old machine its picky === andy is now known as Guest18416 [05:25] ubottu: grub2 | Sevion [05:25] Sevion: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:25] yo yo yo [05:25] SpaceCowboy40404: you did the other steps correctly? [05:25] There may be, I haven't kept up on the news of it [05:25] h00k: Okay, I will try. Stand by for results. [05:25] Sereph: as far as i know I did, all the commands went through with no errors [05:26] Sevion: hilight me, I'll probably be away [05:26] I hate linux and am thinking about switching back to windows because there is no way to mount drives automatically at startup. [05:26] Every thing that could have gone wrong installing ubuntu/linux,, went wrong heh [05:26] phenom, you can look at ubuntuforums.org for a post by old_grey_wolf (or gray??) - I have had success pasting what he said. [05:26] Unless its covered by IT Business Edge, or TechRepublic, Codeplex, or one of those..I won't see it [05:26] h00k: Hilight? How? [05:26] Guest18416: /etc/fstab [05:26] Guest18416: sure there is, how do you think your / partition mounts at boot!? [05:26] Sevion: exactly how you just did :) just my name [05:26] tripelb: if your trying to ue your cat5 crossover vs a standerd eathernet stragt cable on a machine without autosence it will not work [05:26] h00k: Alright! [05:26] Sevion: Good luck [05:26] when i try to open fspot it loads than closes [05:26] SpaceCowboy40404: so you got an error with the first part of that? [05:26] h00k: Trying now, afk. Thanks. [05:27] hey im having an issue: zotac mobo using ion chipset, connected to TV via HDMI, screen is occasionally going black, video/audio are working, any suggestions? [05:27] hiexpo: run it from a terminal, the output may be useful === hanasaki is now known as hanasakiBBL [05:27] VBox is the one I like (and not just because its free), although I hate the fact that it won't allow me to go to the resolution my screen can support (because its external, the built-in LCD requires a slightly different res) [05:27] gogeta: again I am taking the standard ethernet cable out of one computer and putting it in another. Nothing strange. Even old computers are standardized on ethernet 10/100 [05:27] ActionParsnip, ok let me see was just gonna do that :) [05:27] tripelb: without autosence they do not accept cat5 [05:27] SpaceCowboy40404: it says to do cp /path/to/ventrilo.txt /etc/init.d/ventrilo [05:27] cbilljones: what is the output of: lsb_release -c ? [05:27] Sereph: my problemn starts at: sudo update-rc.d ventrilo defaults [05:28] SpaceCowboy40404: did you do that cp command? [05:28] yes [05:28] sereph: yes [05:28] tripleb: it will need to be a crossover cable for p2p, patch cables wont work in that situation [05:28] gogeta, this is not helping. This is a standard cable. I am only changing the computer it is plugged into. It works. It doesnt. THE SAME CABLE. [05:28] actionparsnip karmic [05:28] is there a simple way to restrict a user to his/her home directory only? as in, they cannot cd to / ? [05:28] tripelb: and yout not listing [05:28] cbilljones: ok cool [05:28] SpaceCowboy40404: are you getting an error? [05:29] gogeta, every computer I have ever used is like that. Yes and you are not even spelling. [05:29] sereph: and i can see the txt file in the /etc/init.d/ventrilo directory as well [05:29] cbilljones: have you added the nvidia vpau ppa and installed the 195 driver? [05:29] Is there any way to get OpenOffice to support the placing of texts and images the same way which Scribus would? [05:29] there is your problem then [05:29] gogeta, I am listening. It is not a crossover. [05:29] tripelb: ok type lspci and see if ubuntu is seeing the nics [05:29] /etc/init.d/ventrilo is not a directory [05:29] tomato I'd like to know. [05:29] tripelb well get one.... [05:29] actioparsnip: i tried, but im using 185 atm [05:29] * xiven suddenly wonders if it would do any good to run the Windows version of Scribus under wine [05:29] it should be a file with the contents of ventrilo.txt [05:29] sereph: yes when i enter in: sudo update-rc.d ventrilo defaults [05:29] i get the following error: /etc/init.d/ventrilo: file does not exist [05:30] I did. gogeta. Yes it sees the card. [05:30] tripelb: so far i've been reading about jails and bash replacements [05:30] iferna, I should get what? [05:30] anyone know why i can only have a resolution 800x600 [05:30] tripelb: then check your roguhter settings it may be rejeccting the connection [05:30] Is Scribus' main problem is being a Qt application, instead of being integrated into KDE? [05:30] tripelb if where talking old hardware a crossover inbtween ya cable modem may be required [05:30] actionparsnip: im going to reinstall the 195 driver [05:31] micael: you havent configured your video driver correctly [05:31] * iflema exeption to the rule.... [05:31] tomato, I was shocked when I saw my user could access files. I would like to have a really limited user. I dont even want him to see all the programs installed. (ditto my windows users) I want life to be simple for them. [05:31] gogeta, I dont have a router. [05:31] tripelb: LOL [05:31] SpaceCowboy40404: thats because the file doesnt exist you made it a directory [05:31] triplelb: here is the best guide i've found so far, though i don't really understand it. it looks the simplest out of them all, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/how-to-restrict-access-with-rbash/ [05:31] ActionParsnip i am very new so i dont really know how to do it i have been looking for a program to do it [05:32] sereph: you lost me there.. what do i need to do to make it a file and not a directory? [05:32] tripelb: this will sound stupid but if your connected directly with a cable modem. unplug the modem wait 30 seconds plug in power up pc [05:32] i am not good in console [05:32] micael: run: lspci | grep -i vga use the output to find guides [05:32] remove the /etc/init.d/ventrilo directory and then run cp /path/to/ventrilo.txt /etc/init.d/ventrilo [05:32] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/uDPTc1HG [05:32] tripelb: cable modems will reject a pc untill you do that [05:32] replacing /path/to with the real path obviously [05:32] I have some trouble with launchpad, what is there to be done for K/Ubuntu in Java or C#? [05:32] http://pastebin.com/uDPTc1HG [05:32] iferna: a crossover between my cable modem and what? Every set up I have ever seen, windows or linux, dsl or cable, one plugs fromt he modem (or router) into the ethernet card and it is online. Simple. [05:33] sereph: im confused [05:33] It´s NTFS3G Ubuntu release reliable enought for writing data ? [05:33] SpaceCowboy40404: where is ventrilo.txt [05:33] tripelb: did you just say crossover pfft [05:33] hiexpo: ok then check the bug logs for stuff like that, or log a new bug [05:33] gogeta. I dont have to do that with this computer... or any other. I can just plug in and unplug. the modem doesnt reject this computer. That's imagination. === ubuntu is now known as awc [05:34] ok [05:34] ok but where do i find that lspci (here) grep -i vga [05:34] sereph: it is in: /etc/init.d/ventrilo [05:34] tripelb: then dont do it thats how you fix it [05:34] tripelb: i found a better guide, on the ubuntu forums, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248724 [05:34] tripelb: just keep crying abought it [05:34] tripleb: interconnection device to PC uses a patch cable, if you connect PC to PC then you need to setup a static IP as well as use a crossover cable. [05:34] SpaceCowboy40404: mv /etc/init.d/ventrilo/ventrilo.txt /etc/init.d/ [05:34] tripelb if the box you where given is old it may require a crossover cable for the cable modem..... [05:35] SpaceCowboy40404: tell me after you've done this [05:35] iflema: no, it won't. they've never required crossover cables [05:35] thank you all for your help. insistence that you are right. I've done help-desk. I know up from down, even if I dont get it to work. -- ActionParsnip I am NOT connecting computer to computer (in which case I would need a crossover cable) [05:35] sereph: done [05:35] tripelb: ok thats cool, [05:35] tripelb you not listing..... new hardware auto detects and sorts it for you... older stuff does not [05:35] same problem: more testing I plugged it in. Did not pick up the wired signal. ifconfig changed to carrier 20 (rather than 0) and the modem pc and receive lights were flashing, send black. -- SUM: not picking up wireless signal - not this computer another one. [05:36] SpaceCowboy40404: rm -rf /etc/init.d/ventrilo/ [05:36] channels more empty than usual [05:36] ActionParsnip: i got sick og telling him abought cable types and old machines [05:36] sereph: done [05:36] ActionParsnip: he takes no advice just complanes [05:36] same problem: more testing I plugged it in. Did not pick up the wired signal. ifconfig changed to carrier 20 (rather than 0) and the modem pc and receive lights were flashing, send black. -- SUM: not picking up wireless signal - not this computer another one. [05:36] SpaceCowboy40404: mv /etc/init.d/ventrilo.txt /etc/init.d/ventrilo [05:37] ok 195 nividia driver installed, screen still going black :( [05:37] sereph: done [05:37] SpaceCowboy40404: sudo update-rc.d ventrilo defaults [05:38] The 8 year old compaq computer detected it automatically. This one does. I've never seen one that doesnt. IF it were that kind then what would I do, iflema .. If I need to somehow "detect" it, what would I do to tell it to "detect" it? [05:38] sereph: ha worked that time :) [05:38] SpaceCowboy40404: :) [05:38] tripelb: so you are trying to cat 5 crossover it on a machine without autosence [05:38] tripelb, xiven, fyi this workaround http://blog.nachtarbeiter.net/2009/08/19/choppy-flash-video-in-full-screen-mode-on-ubuntu/ seems to work better than other fixes sated in http://blog.nachtarbeiter.net/2009/08/19/choppy-flash-video-in-full-screen-mode-on-ubuntu/ and the like. [05:38] glad to be of service [05:38] sereph: testing app now :) [05:38] tripelb: not all device have autosence [05:38] tripelb: age makes no diffrence [05:38] stupid cat... [05:38] tripelb ignore me.... cable modems need a straight through..... sorry [05:38] gogeta, i have no idea what you are talking about - what would you think I could try? [05:39] sereph: hahah you rock .. can you now tell me what i did wrong so i can understand it? [05:39] iflema: not if it has autosence [05:39] * iflema lol [05:39] hi [05:39] SpaceCowboy40404: somehow you made a directory in /etc/init.d/ called ventrilo when all you needed was a file called ventrilo that contained the instructions to start it which were in ventrilo.txt [05:39] tripelb: try a new cable maybe? [05:39] tripelb: your machine probly lacks autosence it will need a crossover for a pc tp pc link [05:39] iflema, the output from a cable modem is just like the output from a dsl modem. AFAIK and has acted the same with my two other computers. (whatever their flaws. [05:39] I have huge problems after updating my ubuntu to 9.10 guys [05:39] HUUUUUGe problems... [05:39] im really dissapointed in ubuntu [05:40] this is really bad [05:40] ActionParsnip, the cable works perfectly with this computer. [05:40] RP64: explain yourself [05:40] sereph: im not understanding the difference between a directory and a file [05:40] gogeta, I do not want to make a pc to pc link. [05:40] RP64: can you give some details or we cant help you [05:40] RP64: just ask man [05:40] tripelb: ok, worth a shot [05:40] well, I updated it to 9.10 in the auto online update thing [05:40] tripelb: so what is the problem? you plug into the cable modem and ... ? [05:40] SpaceCowboy40404: directory is a folder [05:40] tripelb: then pc to modem link the modem will need a reset to pick up the change [05:40] SpaceCowboy40404, a directory is a container for files [05:40] tripelb: if you set a staic ip does it work? [05:40] actionparsnip: i installed the latest nvidia drivers(195) and screen is still blacking out(loses audio as well at that point) any more suggestion? [05:40] after updating, it restarts the computer, and my custom login screen with sounds is gone, its the default ubuntu human login screen [05:40] after logging in, it plays my custom login sound, but i see that the firefox logo is gone off the computer [05:41] so I just see a big red X where the firefox logos should be [05:41] cbilljones: latest bios may help [05:41] and, it won't recognize that I have a wireless card [05:41] !enter | RP64 [05:41] tripelb: tech support guys call that power cycling [05:41] RP64: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:41] sereph: so did you just have me create a ventrilo file by just removing the .txt on ventrilo.txt? [05:41] basically [05:41] sereph: ok cool [05:41] but you had to move it out of the directory and remove the directory first [05:41] and I have no wired connection so if it doesn't recognize my wireless card then I can't use internet on it, my wired connection is being used by my parents computer and I can't hook mine up aswell its in a really far room [05:41] so what should I do sereph or somebody ? [05:42] actionparsnip: for the mobo? im thinking its a TV setting somewhere, couldnt get audio either at first but worked that part out [05:42] thats why cp /path/to/txt/file /etc/init.d/ventrilo would have worked fine [05:42] sereph: unfortunatly that guide was inaccurate and my vent server still doesnt work :( [05:42] did you edit the ini or whatever? [05:42] sereph: what should I do what is this ?? why did this happen? [05:42] sereph: yes [05:42] cbilljones: try setting a lower refresh rate [05:43] sereph: wait.. i edited the ini file when it was in the donload directory not after i moved it to the other directory [05:43] ActionParsnip, I cant change my ip. this works on this computer. np. the other compter does not see the signal. mneptok I have a computer 9.10 it works. I unplug the internet signal cable from the ehternet, plug it into this other cmputer, no pickup of signal evident, though ifconfig shows some difference and the pc and receive light flash madly. I unplug it and plug it back in this computer, as normal works fine. [05:43] OK UPDATE: I just restarted it again, and now the wireless is being recognized, however my custom login screen and sound is still missing, and the FIREFOX logos are still missing, WTF???? [05:43] SpaceCowboy40404: should be fine still. is this a server or a homepc? [05:43] actionparsnip: nvidia-settings doesnt let me adjust refresh [05:43] tripelb: does you ISP use PPPoE or somesuch? [05:43] sereph: laptop [05:43] tripelb: its easy to do conect modem to pc thats not working power modem and pc off then plug modem back in and power up. its pretty likly that will fix your issue [05:43] WTF??? [05:43] *your [05:43] !language | RP64 [05:43] RP64: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:43] sereph: on a wired connection behind a router [05:44] RP64: relax man :) [05:44] SpaceCowboy40404: port forwarded? [05:44] mneptok, I have no idea. it's timewarner [05:44] minedmind: itmakesno diffrence its the ac adress change that the modem needs to see [05:44] geekphreak: but im freaking out i mean , why is this stuff happening?? [05:44] sereph: yes port 3784 for both tcp and udp [05:44] gogeta, I hear you and I am listening and I disagree. Thanks anyway. [05:44] im going to kill this cat [05:44] tripelb: also, does the cable modem bind to a specific MAC address for the client machine? [05:44] sereph to this machines internal ip address [05:44] RP64: well sometimes thing break, and you gotta fix it, look at it this way, you might learn something [05:45] sereph: blah blah .102 [05:45] minedmind: most cable modems do why i told him to power cycle [05:45] tripelb: it's unlikely TW uses PPPoE. that's usually a DSL thang. [05:45] RP64: windows does this sort of thing rather often [05:45] geekphreak: but... shouldn't it be designed so that updating doesn't break your system ... -___ - === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock [05:45] what is the current version of openssl being used in 9.10? [05:45] geekphreak: I mean if updating is required anyways [05:45] SpaceCowboy40404: hm.. im not really sure.. im falling asleep [05:45] mneptok: they don't use pppoe [05:45] mneptok, I dont think so. Let me power up a THIRD computer and see if that works. -- I've had no issues doing the same plug in plug out with a dsl from ATT. [05:45] sereph: me too ill work on this some more tomorrow, thanks for the help [05:45] Oy have to set it up... [05:45] RP64: there is a disclaimer to backup files and settings just in case [05:45] mneptok: i told him how if he doesent wanna take 30 seconds to do it itss his problem [05:45] tripelb: that's AT&T. this is TW. [05:45] SpaceCowboy40404: no problem [05:46] sereph: my stuffs all backed up [05:46] RP64: , it does not break it , i and most of us here, update no worries here, [05:46] sudden urge for Chocolate mneptok [05:46] RP64: well thats good [05:46] RP64: what did you upgrade from? [05:46] sereph: but im just saying that now theres these problems and how do I fix them D: :(((( "??? [05:46] adelcampo: from 9.04 [05:46] -asleep- [05:46] tripelb: there is not meatspace DCC on IRC, son. [05:46] i don't think 9.10 lets you change the login screen? [05:46] aetaric: It doesnt???? they removed that ?? [05:47] !!! ............ [05:47] uhoh, he's going to freak out some more [05:47] thats... [05:47] bad [05:47] ActionParsnip i did write lspci and then enter and then i wrote grep -i vga and then nothing happend [05:47] i *think*.... but i could be wrong. i hardly use ubuntu with a GUI so i could careless [05:47] micael: they have to be in same line :) [05:48] tripelb: i'd wager that TW cable modem binds to a specific client MAC address at boot and blocks any others. the advice to power cycle the modem is good advice. do that, then plug in another machine, and "sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart" [05:48] RP64: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1294929 [05:48] lol hardly use with a GUI oh man that's actually kind of cool what kind of haxxoring are you up to ? [05:48] Oookay, help me out with SSH a bit. My web host provided me with two SSH keys (public/private), which of them do i use for login and what is the second one for? o_O [05:48] oh thanks adelcampo [05:48] to everyone: But why is the Firefox Logo totally gone after update??

[05:49] RP64: you mean a desktop icon? [05:49] adelcampo: yea desktop and startbar [05:50] RP64: If you updated to 3.6 from 3.5 then you probably can't do much [05:50] theadmin: you trying to login to there ssh servers? [05:50] adelcampo: and I know it's not called startbar i just don't know what its called in ubuntu [05:50] geekphreak: Well, yep [05:50] theadmin: HUH? its from 9.04 to 9.10 ... ??? [05:50] RP64: Ohhh [05:50] theadmin: you mean version of firefox then how can I even tell if it did that? [05:50] RP64: click on applications then internet and drag the firefox icon to where ever you want it to show [05:50] RP64: Lol then you must install firefox-3.5-branding package [05:50] adelcampo: if I were to have installed from scratch using the CD would these problems be here [05:51] to adelcampo & theadmin: wait so which one of your advices should I do . [05:51] theadmin: you will need to use there public key , which they sent you to access there ssh servers afaik [05:51] geekphreak: What's the private one for? [05:51] o_O [05:51] RP64: pick the easiest first [05:51] adelcampo: so theadmin's ???

[05:53] theadmin: lol well I used ubuntu for 1 year alreadyi just said "hacking" cus the name of the forum post says hack in the title...

[06:01] GUYS to replace your medibuntu software sources ( default are doewn) USE this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/medibuntu-repository-down-what-to-do.html replace lucid with karmic works 100% i used the second mirror :) [06:01] raj: https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/565810 Or use one of the mirrors listed at this bug report [06:02] Sevion: You don't have grub installed to your Ubuntu partition then (at least the part of it in the filesystem). What grub-install command did you use? [06:02] Jordan_U I used sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX per the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 on #13 [06:03] Sevion: Was your Ubuntu partition mounted to /mnt? [06:04] Jordan_U: I'm not sure. Should I try reinstalling Ubuntu completely on that drive? [06:04] I can't connect to my FTP :/ [06:04] theadmin: sftp? [06:04] Sevion: No need, just follow the guide again but "ls /mnt" before the grub-install to confirm you have the right partition mounted. [06:05] Jordan_U: Alright, stand by for results. [06:05] geekphreak: Nope, regular FTP, their SFTP is down. Normal one is up but i can't connect, it just does nothing [06:06] theadmin: what client are you using to connect?

It seems to have worked! Thanks! [06:12] Do the latest Linux Catalyst drivers work properly in Ubuntu? [06:12] h00k: Thanks for all of your help earlier; I seem to have got it to work! [06:13] Demon, did they ever work? [06:13] I don't know, that's what I am asking [06:13] guys is there a chance that in the future, it will return to the old version of GDM? [06:13] I am using Fedora now, but I am thinking of switching if I can use it as a dev platform for my OpenGL engine [06:13] I played with Compiz advanced effects. I got in over my head so I deleted the Compiz advanced effects package in an attempt to restore everything to default appearance settings. Everything looks like it has returned to normal EXCEPT my window minimize and maximize animation. I tried going to System>Pref>Appeareance and setting the display settngs back to 'Normal'. But it did not work. My windows have a very fast shimmying effect and then they "suck" to [06:13] the bottom of the screen. [06:13] dsnyders, Get a live cd and test it out for yourself [06:14] Sevion: You're welcome.

[06:14] sed s/full/fool/ [06:14] new GDM is inferior shows your login name, and no customization option by default... if its only slight speed advantage maybe its not worth it I mean who passed this decision?!?! [06:14] theadmin: hehe :) [06:14] dsnyder, with a live cd you can test it without committing [06:14] RP64: No, but new GDM will become more configurable over time. [06:14] Jordan_U: How do u know that? [06:15] theadmin: its ok we all make mistake :) [06:15] voss749: was that @ me? [06:15] demonfire, try a live cd too [06:15] RP64: Because the GNOME developers said so. === Jonathan_ is now known as KyubyLingus [06:15] yeah, ok. I'll try it when I get a chance. I was just hoping someone would know already. I'll just wait a while [06:15] Jordan_U: why isn't it customizable already tho... -_______ - [06:15] Maybe Fedora will eventually get support [06:16] demon, you can even use a usb flash drive to fully test it out with a persistent install on the flash drive [06:16] RP64: I don't know. [06:16] test [06:16] ing [06:16] 123 [06:17] and god said Check check, check check, and abraham said to god Please speak closer to the mic, I cannot hear you and god said Check Check, sound test one two three, check [06:17] demon, I know nvidia drivers work pretty well, I dont know about ATI [06:17] DeM0nFiRe: The new F13 is beautiful if you are looking to switch.

The only reason I have linux installed is for cross platform game dev :P [06:18] heh, my webhost is hilarious :D It has two folders, second one symlinks to first, public_html and www [06:18] crucial, The thing about Fedora it always feels like a freakin beta test. Its like red hat uses fedora users to test its new dog food [06:18] is shorewall now obsolete for ubuntu? [06:18] Well, got to go now [06:19] I thought the problem with boot hanging was fixed. I just upgraded from jaunty to lucid and I am having this problem (unfortunately on my root partition.) Oddly enough it doesn't happen if I boot into the 2.6.31-18 I luckily had laying around [06:19] hi everyone [06:19] mneptok, OK talked to a screechy lady at TimeWarner who told me it's my computer, lol, that I need to reset between, so I did that. I then looked and saw your command suggestions > sudo invoke -rc.d networking restart < result was "sudo: invoke: command not found -- this on 9.04 live cd [06:19] click [06:19] is it an initrd problem?

[06:20] genii, what is shorewall-common? that's the only package. [06:20] voss749: I learned on CentOS and that OS is immensely stable. Has some old packages but rarely froze to cause a reboot.

[06:24] DeM0nFiRe: USB's are bootable. [06:25] I know [06:25] I thought he was suggesting to install Ubuntu on the USB, not as a live image [06:25] You can install it fully. [06:25] I have a cable modem and only one of my 3 haphazard computers will connect. this is 9.10 the others were 9.04-liveCD. I dont get it. Can anyone help? I called TimeWarner and they said, must be your computer. (standard push-off) Our cable obviously works. (Yes I tried powercycling between connections) [06:25] I don't want to, I just said that :P [06:25] Demon you can install a persistent version of ubuntu on a usb stick [06:25] DeM0nFiRe, you can make it persistent if you wish [06:25] I don't want to make it persistent, lol [06:26] I want it to be a temp live image [06:26] or use it just like an install cd except its faster === ara_ is now known as ara [06:26] Yeah, only I don't have a USB stick ATM, but I do need one [06:26] Maybe I will head down to radio shack tomorrow [06:26] usb installs tend to be a lot faster and less problem prone than cd installs (no coasters) [06:26] Yep === ara is now known as Guest45645 === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away [06:27] bazhang, its a logitech quick cam chat but i cant seem to download a driver from anywhere and it dosnt work on that cheese program you reccomended last time [06:27] You know what I should do?

[06:29] Cool [06:29] nvm [06:29] bazhang, sorry whats lsusb and lspci [06:29] That will be cool then, because I can just make a nice utility USB with Ubuntu, Fedora, SuperGRUBdisk, gparted live cd [06:29] ANd when a new version of one comes out, I can just plug in the new version :D [06:29] billy2007, commands to be run in the terminal and then put on paste.ubuntu.com [06:30] DeM0nFiRe: all i need is ubuntu, it has everything :) [06:30] DeM0nFiRe: It can also boot LiveCDs from isos, so you can create a live system on your current USB drive without repartitioning. [06:30] lol, well, I actually did use to use a Ubuntu livecd as my rescue disk [06:30] But I found a couple things it couldn't quite do for me, so I added some stuff [06:31] voss749, radioshack isnt cheap. frys online officemax all cheaper. prolly other places depending on location. [06:31] Well, I will be walking down to radioschak, I am not going to bother ordering online for one USB stick [06:31] radioshack* [06:31] bazhang, http://pastebin.com/JSaLSKfZ [06:32] I guess the supermarket has a couple USB sticks as well, so we'll see [06:32] DeM0nFiRe, works for you fine.

[06:49] RP64: Post the output to paste.ubuntu.com [06:49] OK [06:49] hi! I'd like to make java applets work in my browser, but I don't have sun-java6-plugin package in my synaptic. What do I do? [06:49] Hi! This is my first experience both with a chat as well as Ubuntu/Linux. I am having problem with my sound, I do not get any. I can not find how I can configure my sound. I have tried sound preference where I only find one alternative for the output being "Dummy output Stereo". What does it mean and what can I do to get the sound working? [06:50] Jordan_U, well dude it worked, no idea why :P [06:50] cucialhoax: http://paste.ubuntu.com/419659/ [06:52] bazhang, you still here? [06:52] question to all: Is the GDM GTK theme your login screen? [06:52] Jordan_U, I am wondering why it worked, and if splash is needed in boot comands [06:52] RP64: Give me a minute to find the tutorial please. [06:52] co_shifty: You can remove splash from the default kernel parameters by editing /etc/default/grub then running "sudo update-grub". It's likely that you'll be able to enable splash again without problems once lucid is released and you upgrade because lucid uses a completely new boot splash, plymouth. === strong_ is now known as str0ng [06:53] co_shifty: All it does is show that nice little white ubuntu icon during boot. [06:53] crucialhoax: Lol OK no probs [06:53] geekphreak: it just says 100% used on / and thats all [06:53] cant actually find out where its coming from [06:53] Jordan_U, oh right, it didn't show up, kk I will do that, I'm also thinking of trying the beta :), can't wait [06:53] billy2007, sorry, was on the phone; http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691191 this link may have some info on that webcam [06:53] wrapster: open terminal [06:54] geekphreak: doe [06:54] geekphreak: done [06:54] wrapster: type du -sh $HOME [06:54] RP64: Ok, do you have a term open? [06:54] thsnk you bazhang [06:54] crucialhoax: yea [06:55] geekphreak: 384M [06:56] wrapster: thats not bad at all , do you have any other account on this system too? [06:56] crucialhoax: got it working, eventually did a gdm stop then Xorg -reconfigure [06:56] geekphreak: no [06:56] made an xorg file i copied to the X11 folder and now the screen refreshes are faster [06:56] Optimus55: Nice going! I will keep that in mind :) [06:57] WHY WHY WHY DO ATI DRIVERS SUCKS SO BAD! ARGH! [06:57] mneptok: Bitte habe kein zorn, wir sind alle brudere hier mein kind [06:58] I did it. powecycled, ran invoke-rc.d successfully. mneptok, iflema back. no results. ifconfig shows no connection. RX packet shows 9380 erorrs TX 11 errors and txqueuelen:1000 == but no lights flashing but pc. Plug this one in, autoconnect. [06:58] wrapster: run that command for /tmp and /var plz [06:58] RP64: type `gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf` [06:59] crucialhoax: OK [06:59] geekphreak: /tmp -> 8K ; /var -> 271M [06:59] fgl_glxgears = 200fps @ 800x600? on a quad core intel with a 4670HD Radeon. NICE NICE NICE! [06:59] Now do a Control+F to find and type power then see if the term is in there. [06:59] RP64, Please no anger, we has is all brudere my child here" (google translation) [06:59] RP64: Now do a Control+F to find and type power then see if the term is in there. [06:59] crucialhoax: OK, now it opens a text file oh OK, wait WHAT term? [07:00] oh OK [07:00] twiddles [07:00] When I try to install ubuntu the "prepare partitions" section is empty. I can mount the drive I'm trying to install manually. Any ideas? [07:00] crucialhoax: yes it finds the word power [07:00] wrapster: thats not bad either to be honest [07:01] RP64: why are you speaking German? [07:01] geekphreak: i know.. so where is this space taking up from? :( [07:01] mneptop: because you're from frankfurt [07:01] RP64: Ok, is this what is looks like? ptions snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N [07:01] RP64: uh. no. [07:01] mneptok: yes you are [07:02] wrapster: prob you got too many applications installed [07:02] crucialhoax: yeah it says that [07:02] geekphreak: yeah that could be a possiblity. [07:02] hmm.. [07:02] RP64: Change the `10` to a `0` then save the file and close it. [07:02] RP64: i think your meds may have expired. [07:02] no one here uses ATI video cards? [07:02] doesn't surprise me [07:02] mneptok: yeah they did the voices are getting louder [07:02] crucialhoax: OK are you sure that won't break anything?! [07:02] Daemonic: I've got an ATI card, but I have a 5850 [07:03] wrapster: but you have to be very arefull with removing those application so as not to take out other dependent lib. and other files , keep that in mind , specially the X [07:03] DeM0nFiRe: latest ati driver from their site? [07:03] I am not using them, because I am on Fedora ATM [07:03] hmm.. ok [07:03] RP64: it's better you stay on support related topics. [07:03] I am going to test them on Ubuntu soon [07:03] I have a cable modem. It works on this computer (9.10) plugged into the ethernet port. So far it does not work on two other computers (9.04 liveCD) Is thins normal? The gal at TimeWarnes screeches at me that it's on my end. ((Yes I powercycled and yes I am using the same cable coming from the modem just plugging it into a different computer [07:03] RP64: It is just telling the system not to power down the sound driver. [07:04] mneptok: I am on support topics I'm just responding why you asked why I'm speaking German and I was because you are german that's all , Im actually in middle of discussion about support right now [07:04] crucialhoax: OH so this is only part 1 of more steps? [07:04] RP64: Have you already saved the file? [07:04] * tripelb is persistent [07:04] crucialhoax: yes [07:04] will keep an eye on this chat. [07:05] wrapster: listen dude , terminal still open? [07:05] tripelb: power cycled the modem? [07:05] tripelb: motorola? [07:05] RP64: Then I am assuming the file is closed, go ahead and reboot and see if the sound still pops. [07:05] Hey guys [07:05] crucialhoax: OK :D but does this have any bad side effects or other changes? D: [07:05] I need some help with my TV tuner card [07:05] RP64: My laptop has the same line [07:05] tripelb: my cable modem, motorola surfboard, does that from time to time.. a couple power cycles and it gives up an ip fine. [07:05] is there anybody who knows a bit about bttv here? [07:06] crucial: OK :D BRB [07:07] anyways i am out got work to do, cya folks [07:07] cya geekphreak [07:08] hola back, it worked!!! you're a genious dawg [07:09] dawg? fo`real? [07:09] who the hell talks like that anymore? [07:09] Oh wow, it has my previous logon as "RP64" on this chat, even though I restarted my computer and just rejoined.... wow.... [07:09] Daemonic: haha [07:09] My webhosts permissions are all liek 0777 or 0600 or similar, what on earth is the preceeding zero? Just don't say "sticky", explain please? [07:10] daemonic: its just a joke dawg... [07:10] RP64: I told you it worked [07:10] really? I thought you were seriously ghetto. [07:10] haha wow. [07:10] theadmin, man umask [07:10] hello all, does anyone have any experience with evolution and the exchange connector, my domain admins have gone and changed a whole bunch of stuff and now i cannot connect to exhcnage anymore, they are not helpful, they don't support linux :( === RP64_ is now known as RP64 [07:11] zenlunatic: No manual page for umask [07:11] HELLO I NEED HELP [07:11] woah it fixed itself? tihs chat is magic.. [07:11] Everything here is magical. [07:11] frankie_: 1) Don't caps 2) with what? [07:11] frankie_: the key is next to the "a" on US keyboards. does that solve your problem? ;) [07:11] theadmin, google [07:11] frankie_: Hello, try not to use caps they mean you're yelling and that's rude; do you have a question? [07:12] i did not know [07:12] frankie_: Don't worry. What's your problem? [07:12] zenlunatic: That was helpful [07:13] I use windows and my friend tells me to try linux but I am worried how do i know linux is good ? [07:13] frankie_: Uhm. Linux ain't "better" or "worse", it's different [07:13] If you don't know why you should use linux, you shouldn't [07:13] ANYONE here know how to change [07:13] login screen + sounds on this new GDK? [07:13] Windows is generally a much easier to use OS [07:13] frankie_: Linux is "the best" for some of us, but may not be the best for other people. [07:14] frankie_: you try it. [07:14] And it more friendly for the average desktop user [07:14] OOPS that being split onto 2 lines was accident Mr. Admin i was trying to copy paste that and it got messed up [07:14] ubottu: tell frankie_ about wubi [07:14] frankie_, please see my private message [07:14] theadmin: Does this help? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-July/085257.html [07:14] frankie_: you can try it and find out if it's for you, download Ubuntu and try it out, you don't have to install it you can try it out using the LiveCD, it won't touch your hard drive. [07:14] hello all [07:14] thank you ubottu i will see [07:14] frankie_: Linux Mint, however, might be a better "starting point" for newbies [07:15] frankie_: there is no virus, spyware, automatic trojans, etc... it feels really good not to be worried 24/7, it's liberating. [07:15] I vote for Linuxmint too [07:15] Anyone here know how to update my grub 1.5 to the new grub 2?? im on the newest Ubuntu version but my grub is still the old grub [07:15] i was told to try linux mint and ubuntu.. i dont have a probelm with learning new things [07:15] Sleep is better with Ubuntu. [07:15] good newb f00d [07:15] hello deserteagle how can we help you? [07:15] question: I'm having flash issues on FF: can't load facebook games or get to the flash settings manager page to erase the cache, any clues? [07:15] I vote for ubuntu, its easy for nubblets [07:15] It is time to put those Haitian jigaboos in their place! No matter how many times the civilized world donates money, opens schools, rebuilds their nation, and holds their little monkey paws, the damn niggers can never get it right. Mexicali had a worse earthquake than Haiti, and only about 4 people died! Even the housing of the poor generally held up! Meanwhile even the Haitian elites couldn't build decent buildings. [07:15] deserteagle: What version of FF are you using? [07:15] Look at what happened to the house of their monkey president! If you are sick of the fecal beast Join Chimpout Forum! [07:15] frankie_: both are great, Mint is based on Ubuntu :) [07:15] Resbaloso: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:16] LOL @ resbaloso racist comment [07:16] crucialhoax, 3.5.9 [07:16] pls ban [07:16] tbh with you, I tried giving people who didn't have windows to install Ubuntu instead, and they didn't like it [07:16] deserteagle: OK, so which flash are you using? [07:16] 10.0.45.2 [07:16] iirc [07:17] yeah, that [07:17] i will download the live cd of linux mint and try ubuntu too. i am on a laptop and not much to lose [07:17] RP64: that kind of comments are usually the result of fear, I actually feel sorry for guys like that one who can't control it :) [07:17] The latest I think. Did you download libflashplayer.so or did you use the one in the repos? [07:17] hello, could anyone please assist me with evolution, i am unable to connect to exchange since things were changed [07:17] frankie_: Be prepared, however, to use the terminal now and then [07:17] umm... I installed from Adobe's site? [07:17] frankie_: read this website, it will anser a lot of your questions: http://www.getlinux.org [07:17] hunahpu: lol === ybit3 is now known as ybit [07:17] deserteagle: That might be why, does flash work anywhere? [07:17] yup yup [07:18] hmmph [07:18] frankie_: my bad, it is http://www.getgnulinux.org [07:18] that is the only thing i am scared of. i see linux users type in their terminal and i do not know how to use :/ === fipu is now known as fipu|Away [07:18] frankie_: We can help [07:18] deserteagle: 32bit or 64? [07:18] frankie you should get a live CD of Ubuntu and try that out first. That way you can try to get used to it without breaking it [07:18] 32 [07:19] this guy won't show: http://macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html [07:19] * Daemonic is getting pissed off at ATI and their CRAP drivers [07:19] frankie_: don't worry about, almost all tasks can be done in the graphic interfase, but I can asure you, after a couple of months you'll be prefering the terminal :) and as theadmin said, we will be here to (try to) help you [07:19] Daemonic: Better than having a crap card :D [07:19] thank you, you are very helpful people :) [07:20] frankie_: Just don't be afraid when you see something like id |sed "s/^[^(]*(\([^)]*\)).*/\1/" [07:20] DeM0nFiRe: the card is good. works perfectly in windows. I can't get shit for performance out of it in linux though. [07:20] this is seriously annoying. [07:20] wtf? [07:20] Daemonic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:20] Really? [07:20] 3 lines is flodding? [07:20] apparently so [07:20] DeM0nFiRe, watch the language please [07:20] DeM0nFiRe: It's a stupid bot and it's lagging sometimes [07:20] bazhang: what? [07:21] DeM0nFiRe: He reffers to "wtf" you used [07:21] I didn't [07:21] DeM0nFiRe: some people actually don't like the "wtf" acronym :p [07:21] I didn't use wtf lol [07:21] DeM0nFiRe: Oops it was Daemonic [07:21] deserteagle: go here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [07:21] DeM0nFiRe: it was Daemonic... similar names, excuse the person who said it :p [07:21] hmm [07:22] and me of course === root is now known as Guest1492 [07:22] this is another wtf moment === Ubot-Tn is now known as MaWaLe [07:22] DeM0nFiRe, my apologies, mistabbed [07:22] lol [07:22] deserteagle: towards the bottom you will see `download plugin for Linux (TAR.GZ)` [07:22] Anyway [07:22] exit [07:22] i just changed my mouse both cordless but now when i highlight it dont paste when i press the wheel anyone know why ? [07:22] Daemonic: I think the catalys 9.10 drivers work with ubuntu 9.10 [07:22] I actually remember an admin on other server banning someone for saying "ftw", the admin thought it was a way to circumvent the "wtf" rule... [07:22] DeM0nFiRe: the drivers installed fine. I just can't figure out why they're not operating as expected. [07:22] crucialhoax, but it was working before :( [07:22] I am not sure because I haven't tried the, but I;ve seen good reviews [07:23] crucialhoax, you really think i need to compile it? :( [07:23] for the wine? [07:23] win* [07:23] deserteagle: Idk then, it is not compiling it... [07:23] i think i have a 64 bit computer should i install 64 bit or 32 bit versions? i only have 4gbs of ram so is it nesscessary to use 64 bit one? [07:23] Daemonic: I think you also have to disable some other stuff because Linux by default tries to manage some settings [07:23] Not positive though [07:23] deserteagle: The version from the link given, that is the only thing I use and have never had flash problems. [07:23] frankie_, - i suggest 32 bit [07:23] Daemonic: yes, the admin clearly didn't know, all in the room told him but he wouldn't listen, was a very... kinda-funny moment [07:23] sure its only a 4670 but it has a gig of ram and works good in windows. [07:23] crucialhoax, kk, i'll give it a try [07:24] hunahpu: That's not funny, it's sad. Very sad. [07:24] just isn't for crap in X [07:24] Daemonic: that's how I learned it's better to use plain-straight english; theadmin actually kinda lame too [07:24] i was wondering how to mount and start a raid array that i created using palimpset in fedora through terminal [07:24] Daemonic: can I ask why you need high performance in linux? [07:24] For video drivers? [07:24] deserteagle: You will have to remove your old one. The old one might be in Synaptic Package Manager, or it will be in /home//.mozilla/plugins [07:25] i tried mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 and it returned with "mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0" [07:25] deserteagle: The name of the file is libflashplayer.so, that is what you are downloading, remove the old one and put the new in ~/.mozilla/plugins [07:25] DeM0nFiRe: because less than 30fps with this card in OGL is unacceptable? [07:25] crucialhoax, awesome! here I was thinking I needed to compile it or something [07:25] deserteagle: Na, lol. Definitely not :) [07:26] Daemonic: But why not use Windows for games instead? WHy not dual boot? [07:26] yeh, it's not like Adobe would ever release their code, either [07:26] Just curious [07:26] deserteagle: HTML5 ftw [07:26] i find http://www.getgnulinux.org/ very informative thank you [07:26] DeM0nFiRe: I don't like windows...but I dislike non-working hardware too [07:27] nvidia cards work fine. ATI's should too.. stupid AMD/ATI and their crap drivers. [07:27] Daemonic: sadly ATI's Linux support is not very good, you won't get the same performance in certain tasks (like open gl) as in windows; if you are hardcore gamming person, you probably want to dual boot w/windows [07:27] Well, lately that appears to be the one thing NVidia has going for them, linux support XD === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [07:28] Daemonic: I asked because I am trying to decide fi I should make my engine work in Linux [07:28] DeM0nFiRe: the one good thing? you mean other than nvidia cards kicking ati cards's ass? [07:28] Honestly I regret having bought this ATI card I'm using (is a 9600) is not THAT old and it's already unsupported by ATI [07:28] which is an amazing thing. more and more games are being played with Linux and working drivers make it pretty :) [07:29] FYI if anyone has any issues with connecting evolution to exchange 2007 install evolution-mapi and create a new account using that as your mailbox type, cannot use owa anymore [07:29] well, I'm trying to run a four year old game in wine and I'm getting less than 20 fps.. which is unacceptable.. I can enable my motherboards onboard CRAP 7100 nvidia and play the same game with better fps. which brings it all back to ati drivers sucking ballsack. [07:29] hunahpu: I am pretty sure I have the same card and ATi does not support it in Win7 either, I did not know they fully dropped it... [07:29] HI [07:29] Daemonic: ATI cards are faster than all of NVidia cards except for their 2 newest, which are at the price point of the 5970, which is better than either [07:30] ATI's been quite solidly on top for the last 2 generations, at least in the mainstream gaming market, which is what the target is, of course [07:30] crucialhoax: I know, it's sad, a lot of cards are no longer supported :( [07:30] DeM0nFiRe: so you're an ATI fanboy? I prefer hardware that just /works/. nvidia in my experience are just /better/. I regret buying this ATI [07:30] HOW TO FLASH PLEYER INSTALL FOR UBUNTU [07:30] Nah, my last card was NVidia [07:30] !caps > jnuetron [07:30] jnuetron, please see my private message [07:30] I go with what is currently on top [07:30] jnuetron: 32bit or 64bit? [07:30] ATI's in a position to cripple NVidia's sales if they want [07:30] DeM0nFiRe: ATI hardware might be better but Nvidia's software is far more advanced and they actually support their products [07:30] HOW YO PRIVET MESSEGE [07:30] when its upgrade time, I don't give a shit if ATI is mopping the floor with nvidia, I'm buying nvidia. ugh. sour taste. [07:31] human_blip: on Windows, ATI's great so far for me [07:31] But yes, NVidia has better linux support [07:31] yeah, even the catalyst drivers in windows suck. [07:31] lol [07:31] I'm going to craigslist this POS and get an nvidia [07:31] Took ATI like a week and a half to have the beta OGL 4 driver for Windows after OGL 4 was released :D [07:31] jnuetron: Hi, don't use CAPS they mean you're yelling and that is considered rude; why don't you act like a civilized person, calm down, type your question in one single line and wait for your answer? You'll get better results that way. [07:32] hah [07:32] jnuetron just use /msg nick [07:32] or isn't it /privmsg nick ? [07:32] is there a website for finding if my windwos programs work on linux when i switch? foobar and utorrent ? [07:33] frankie_: utorrent will run in wine. [07:33] either way [07:33] /msg [07:33] hello, what's the program in ubuntu to defragment? === fipu|Away is now known as fipu [07:33] frankie_: Deluge or Vuze are nice uTorrent replacements. [07:33] igoryonya: Ubuntu does not need to be defragged. [07:33] frankie_: most programs won't run the same way; it's far better to use their analog linux applications; like openoffice.org instead of MS Office; if games is what concerns you, they don't run as fast as in windows, there are emulators like Wine that will allow you to run -some- win apps. [07:34] crucialhoax: well, that may be, but I need to defragment my flash drive. [07:34] igoryonya: Native Linux filesystems don't need to be defragged (ext3, xfs, ext4, etc...) [07:34] igoryonya: Need to be more specific then. [07:34] how do I show the name of my ethernet card? [07:35] cat /proc/??? [07:35] shazbotmcnasty: cat /proc may work but also "lspci" may work [07:35] i dont plan on playing games. i have another computer with windows, so i am just goign to use my laptop to get my toes wet so to speak [07:35] hunahpu, I didn't know that they didn't need to be defragged [07:35] Anywya, I gotta go [07:35] Daemonic, nothing is motorola (after that ROKR phone I am done with them) mneptok yes PC'ed it. as I said. -- Daemonic but it gives an ip fine any time to this computer (I call it #2) but not to #3 or #1. Huh? [07:35] Later guys [07:35] shazbotmcnasty: The manufacturers name, or the device name which it gets assigned? [07:35] both hopefully [07:36] shazbotmcnasty: you could do lspci [07:36] crucialhoax, hunahpu, ok, to be more specific, I have a fat32 usb flash drive that I need to defrag. [07:36] igoryonya: yes, they are quite efficient, read about it in wikipedia, the english article is quite good; as for your flash drive, I'm not sure if there is a defragger for vfat [07:36] shazbotmcnasty: or if it's a usb lsusb [07:36] tripelb: no idea then. sorry. [07:36] it's not, it's onboard [07:36] mneptok, Daemonic I think it is time to sleep and restart another day. Thanks for playing. [07:36] how to make php.ini file changes takes affect ? [07:36] lol [07:36] my main programs are thunderbird, firefox, foobar, utorrent, office.. deluge from appearnce looks good replacement for utorrent and i am familiar with openoffice :) [07:37] hi, I have a problem with Ubutu, is there someone here that can help me with some technical support? [07:37] shazbotmcnasty: "lspci | grep net" should work [07:37] shazbotmcnasty: well try lspci [07:37] !ask | Fiend [07:37] Fiend: 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. :-) [07:37] does anybody know, what's the difference between ext3 and ext4? [07:37] shazbotmcnasty: For all info on them: sudo lshw -C network [07:38] or what huanahpu said pretty much to narrow it [07:38] igoryonya: the main difference is ext4 can handle far larger files and larger hard drives [07:38] ah man this is frustrating, now i don't have gal access anymore in evolution, please can some help, aparently the owa plugin for evolution i supposed to work with exchange 2007 === johan is now known as Guest61999 [07:38] and the mapi plugin is still unstable and does not support gal or calendar [07:38] what about crashing, is ext4 a more crashprone then ext3, or they don't differ in that way. For example, I know that ntfs is more crashprone then fat32. [07:39] I'm having problem with Ubuntu on my laptop pc. The problem is that it's overheating after some random time (like starting with 15 min ) and the coolers don't seem to work. Does ubuntu have problem with coolers on various hardware? [07:39] The area around the touchpad seems to be overheating more than other parts of it [07:40] igoryonya: ext4 offers better performance, is overall better than ext3, both speed and stability wise [07:41] igoryonya: if stability is your top priority, xfs is a better filesystem. [07:41] anybody have any clue about the laptops overheating problem? [07:41] Fiend: you didn't have this heating problem before? [07:42] well, I haven't tries ubuntu until 9.10, so I can't tell you about that [07:42] Fiend: does this happen with other OS's? [07:43] well, it doesn't happen on windows 7 and it appears that the coolers start working during windows 7 usage, but the overall temperature is lower [07:43] the area around the touchpad isn't that hot, compared to ubuntu [07:43] crucialhoax, still nothing :( [07:43] Fiend: what sort of laptop is it? [07:44] sec, I'll send you a link with the specs in a few [07:44] Fiend: can you tell if the fans are running at all? [07:44] hey [07:45] the reason, I am asking, is because, I've read that ubuntu 9.10 officially moved to ext4 from ext3, but in the description, it says that upgraded systems to 9.10 will be converted to ext4, and newly installed systems will be installed, using ext4, but an upgraded ext4 will not take advantage of ext4 features and not work as efficiently as newly installed 9.10. I don't get it. How is it going... [07:45] ...to be converted to ext4, yet not take ext4's advantage. [07:45] igoryonya: it's not. [07:45] igoryonya: upgraded systems will continure to use ext3 [07:45] cfedde: it's not what? [07:45] continue even. [07:46] cfedde: so I misunderstood what was written and only newly installed will be ext4? [07:46] igoryonya: the upgrade to 9.10 does not change the filesystem that is used. [07:47] igoryonya: exactly. only new installs will use ext4 by default. [07:47] igoryonya: I have no idea how a filesystem can be 'upgraded' that way ??? it should keep your original filesystem [07:47] http://www.notebooksarok.hu/notebook/toshiba/satellite-a300-1n0/1728 this isn't in english, but you get the general ideea [07:47] hi there [07:47] hello [07:47] hola [07:47] igoryonya: when you make a new fresh install you can choose what filesystem to use; bye default it will use ext4, but you can use whatever you want [07:47] any body know this bug - pam_unix(polkit:auth): auth could not identify password for [user] [07:48] ? [07:48] bluebird: it means you typed the wrong password [07:48] HELLO [07:48] but password is correct [07:48] bluebird: the user may be incorrect then [07:48] policykit is broken [07:49] cfedde : the fans don't seem to be running after ubuntu starts [07:49] hunahpu: different partitioning programs are able to convert partitions and windows xp, for example, offers to convert a fat/fat32 partitions to ntfs, while upgrading, so I didn't even have a back thought that linix cannot do that. [07:49] http://www.notebooksarok.hu/notebook/toshiba/satellite-a300-1n0/1728 this isn't in english, but you get the general ideea [07:49] when i use sudo or gksudo this password works fine [07:50] igoryonya: "upgrading" is not accurate; what you (and probably that software does) do is dump (create an image) a filesystem, back it up somewhere else, format the partition to another filesystem and then write the image to the new filesystem [07:50] HI [07:50] is Beryl just a Compiz alternative?

Website: https://www.avaneya.com [07:50] Someguy77: Beryl is now integrated with compiz and fuzion [07:51] hunahpu: so, you are suggesting, that I choose xfs, skipping ext[x] completley when I install, if I want a filesystem crash stability? [07:51] and metacity integrated with gnome? === DaZ is now known as Guest29090 [07:51] I mean GTK [07:51] Fiend: here are some google hits that look interesting: http://www.symbiosoft.net/?q=node/66 [07:52] igoryonya: Actually upgrading from ext2 to 3 and 3 to 4, and even extn to btrfs (a *completely* different filesystem) can all be done in place. [07:52] igoryonya: xfs is (in my opinion) the most stable filesystem out there, but this doesn't mean is the right one for you, it's slower than ext4 and not entirely recommended with GRUB loader (use of LiLO is recommended) [07:52] hunahpu: you are probably wright, I just didn't know the internal workings of it, and you've explained it :) [07:53] 2010: boot partition is full .. didn't debra and/or ian figure out some way to automate this stuff around 1994?

[07:59] are sites like ubuntu.jp, ubuntu.fi, ubuntu.ru official? [07:59] hunahpu: I thought I did that... I'm running kde for the most part, this is the gnome settings somewhere I presume [07:59] hunahpu: I see, I just lately started getting (on boot) when the filesystem is checked during boot, it stops the check at a certain point and says that it cannot fsck automatically and I should do it manually, I do it manually and answer yes everywhere, but after boot, I would like to launch the fsck again, but it warns that doing fsck on a mounted system can damage data, but I can't figure...

[08:00] I need virtual box for iTunes usage [08:00] igoryonya: well if you are still talking about your usb flash drive, just unmount it, if is your actual hard drive use the LiveCD to check the filesystem :) [08:01] cfedde: last link is for nvidia [08:01] kolla: yes, it is on gnome, sound options; you can hack it though broswe /usr/share/ until you find the ubuntu sounds and rename them [08:01] rofl kompozer made shortcuts in "Programming" AND in "Internet" :/ [08:02] Fiend: oops. :-\ [08:02] can someone tell me the terminal command to use to determine the input hardware of my system?

For converting to xfs you have to make a copy like hunahpu explained. [08:03] hunahpu: no, my main filesystem "/" is having a such problem, that I need to check and fix, but I couldn't find any info on how to check and fix unmounted "/" system, my usb I only need to defrag. [08:03] hunahpu: last time I tried the ati official drivers, I ended up with a broken X [08:03] just a black screen, after restart [08:04] igoryonya: using the LiveCD is the easier way to do it. [08:04] hunahpu: looking in gnome-control-center -> sound preferences, I have picked "No sounds" as theme [08:04] Jordan_U: can you suggest a command that I can use to convert one ext version to an other? [08:04] maybe the settings are in firefox itself [08:04] kolla: that's posible [08:05] hunahpu: so you are saying to use disk checking utilities from the cd booting? [08:05] hunahpu: thanks anyways :) [08:06] igoryonya: from the Live session actually [08:06] igoryonya: You basically just mount it as the newer version. So to convert from ext3 to ext4 you just mount /dev/sdXX -t ext4 and any data from then on will use ext4 features. [08:07] hunahpu: any ideea is this fan issue is going to be happening on 10.04? [08:07] I mean, I was thinking that maybe this issue might not occurs anymore in 10.04..here's hoping [08:08] seing as 10.04 is LTS [08:08] Jordan_U: ok, thanx [08:08] igoryonya: You're welcome.

[08:34] LSD|Ninja: I would expect that they would at least shut off before the hadware was damaged, right? [08:34] roccity_: The power management control is, yes. Intel Macs use a chip called teh SMC (System Management Controller or something iirc) to manage that sort of stuff. There's rudimentary support for it in Linux, but not for controlling the CPU vcore leading to the machines running too high a vcore for too long and ultimately dying due to accelerated electromigration [08:34] igoryonya: Put it in ~/.bashrc [08:35] igoryonya: Though, without the -p [08:35] Jordan_U: I'm sure there are safeguards for it in OS X (and even Windows, for the most part, using Apples driver in the Boot Camp kits), but to the best of my knowledge, it's still not fully supported in Linux [08:36] What's a VPS? (sorry i know it's quite offtopic, but dunno where to ask) [08:36] geirha: ok, do you know what -p switch is for in alias command?, since I didn't find any description in alias --help and man alias, just an example alias -p etc='etc' [08:36] igoryonya: What's the point in aliasing something to itself?

[08:38] igoryonya: If it's a builtin command, there's no man-page for it, you can use bash's help command to get some info about it, and you'll also find it in man bash [08:38] meh.. i want to post a helping post on ubuntuforums.org but I dont want to sign up for an account [08:38] Somehow, I'm not as crazy about Lucid as I were about Karmic. I was *literally* jumping around my room when it was released, and before the release I kept checking stuff... but now, after I see what they did in Karmic... meh. I dunno. [08:39] anyone with an account wanna do a post for me? [08:39] Jordan_U: It's not the fans, that are the issue. It's the control of voltage to the CPU. As CPU load goes up, the vcore is supposed to be dropped offsetting the heat output. The problem is that thge system that does that only works properly under OS X. [08:39] Ven]n: why not? it's free, easy and will take less time that it's taking you to type all this [08:39] ven]n: only takes a min to make acct :| [08:39] cause I wont be using it later [08:39] Jordan_U: Even with the fans going full tilt, the CPU is still being overvolted and eventually dies [08:40] Say, can i use /etc/hosts to redirect something not to only a specific IP, but also to a specific port? [08:40] Ven]n: you never know... and even if you don't, it won't hurt you. [08:40] and it needs a valid email [08:40] Ven]n: You don't have an email? o_O [08:41] geirha: ye, you are right, I've all I've found was in alias --help, I didn't even realize that I could use help alias, I did try man alias and it didn't return anything, thanx [08:41] sure I do :) [08:41] but Im reluctant to spread it to every site available [08:41] geirha: I mean before you guys told me about help alias [08:41] Ven]n: If you're afraid of spam, use spambox.us to generate a temporary redirective email [08:41] theadmin: I haven't tried but I guess it should work; just add : to your IP, you lose nothing by trying :p [08:41] theadmin, yeah, that would be another option [08:41] Ven]n: use yopmail.com and move on... is not that big of a deal [08:42] but then having someone else post for me is better I think [08:42] igoryonya: just ''help'' by itself will show you a list of what you can get help with; more or less all builtins and keywords of the shell. [08:42] hello can i convert .pages 2 .doc inubuntu? [08:42] Jordan_U: Depending on how you look at it, it's either poor design or the inevitable result of using them in a manner they were never designed/intended for. I must admit I fall into the latter category, Apple don't design them around running anything more than OS X, which they're perfectly free to do. If you buy a Mac with the idea of running something other than OS X then the consequences of that are entirely you're own problem. That sa === Ken8521_ is now known as Ken8521 [08:43] theadmin, what do you mean?

[08:46] igoryonya: Allrigth i see [08:46] morning, bit of a odd question. installed 10.04 a few weeks ago and set my desktop backdrop to lovely close up of a big green leaf (which came with ubuntu) - since then its disappeared and disappeared from the list! [08:46] does anyone have a copy of it [08:46] rocket16: Yes. [08:47] ubottu: 10.04 | Gorlist [08:47] Gorlist: 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 [08:47] sorry for repeating - does any body know this bug - When i use PolicyDialog and enter CORRECT su password, window shaking and authorization failed, in log.auth - pam_unix(polkit:auth): conversation failed authpam_unix(polkit:auth): auth could not identify password for [user]??? [08:47] ta === Ken8521_ is now known as Ken8521 [08:48] hunahpu - sorry, i'm not after a vpn. i have a ubuntu pc i just built up, if i set the ip info so that it sits behind my proxy i canget internet. but my proxy has many ports blocked. I am trying to set the PC up so it connects direct to the router for internet [08:49] biw [08:50] LSD|Ninja: Do you know if there is a launchpad bug report about this? [08:50] Jordan_U: No idea, but even if there is, there's not much Ubuntu, or the Linux community as a whole, can really do about it as it's the result of the SMC being closed. [08:51] rocket16: Please don't evade bans, thanks. [08:51] Flannel: Huh? [08:52] LSD|Ninja: A good deal of hardware that's supported by linux is only so through reverse engineering, and launchpad bug reports are also an easy way to follow issues like this. [08:52] theadmin: If you're banned, getting around (evading) your ban is bad, and will get you into more trouble [08:53] Flannel: I don't recall him being banned o_O [08:53] sallll [08:53] cineva roman [08:53] ? [08:53] ? [08:53] Andreony: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:53] cineva roman ? [08:54] When will 10.04 be released? Is any date planned yet? [08:54] tdn: #ubuntu+1 [08:54] the server run ??? [08:54] Flannel: Sorry, but my Pidgin just entered #ubuntu automatically, should I leave immidietely? [08:54] tdn: 29th April, but consider waiting until October for 10.10 [08:55] cineva roman ? [08:55] Andreony: Nu putem vorbi româneşte aici. Du-te la #ubuntu-ro [08:56] rocket16: That would make you stop ban evading, yes. [08:57] Flannel: Ok, sighs, I did nothing wrong, but bazhang used his status wrongly to ban me. I just wanted to learn and contribute in the channel. I respect your direction, Flannel. But please, at least consider the fact that I was banned wrongly by that ill Operator bazhang (Who started Offtopic, and when warned, banned me). [08:57] rocket16: That's for #ubuntu-ops, not here. [08:58] Flannel: well it's already in the forums...... [08:58] Flannel: Yes, I am there, and doing whatever I can. I just made a reply, to clear the misunderstanding. Thanks. [08:59] hi all [09:00] hello [09:01] Hi! [09:01] nsp, hi [09:02] how can i convert pdf2doc? [09:02] I have a shell problem,could anyone can help me? [09:02] riverside don't ask to ask, just ask. [09:03] suppose I have a file named filea [09:03] lal [09:03] and I want to replace a word in line 3 column 3, [09:03] how? [09:03] can sed do this? [09:04] replace word in the explicit place? [09:05] is there someone running 10.04 ? [09:06] ouyes, #ubuntu+1 [09:06] Ven]n, oo === nand_ is now known as nand [09:09] with ubuntu why do i have to restart the PC to have network changes take effect? [09:09] dariusvw: you dont need to restart [09:10] dariusvw: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:10] how can i see other computer in my network(LAN)? [09:10] When I call "start-stop-daemon --start" twice, it tries to start my stuff both times. I thought it should detect that it's already runninge from the pidfile created the first time. Any thoughts? [09:10] dariusvw: there are only 2 reasons to restart a ubuntu-pc. kernel or glibc update [09:10] Iceroot - i did that, internet still would not work, i restared and it worked [09:10] iceroot: glibc? why? [09:10] guten morgen zusammen [09:10] Morning, I wanted to get some insight on the 32bit vs 64bit thing. I've been using ubuntu32bit since Feisty, but never once have I ever tried the 64bit I do have a core2duo processor, for someone like me as a regular user, would it be better to go 64bit and I suppose applications in ubuntu-tweak etc for example all can compile and run in 64bit? [09:11] kennt sich hier einer mit squid proxy aus?? [09:11] composter: Deutschen Support ist in #ubuntu-de [09:11] iceroot - no the networking restart [09:11] theadmin: because other programs only use the new glibc after a restart, elsewhere they have the old in memory [09:11] iceroot: I see [09:11] sambuntu: Not all of them [09:11] theadmin: the rest you can restart with /etc/init.d/ and so on but not the effects a glibc-update is bringing [09:12] sambuntu: But many. Well, if you have <4GB RAM then it's quite pointless [09:12] dariusvw: what have you changed? and where to edit the network? [09:12] theadmin, so you still recomend 32bit I take it. [09:12] sambuntu: I don't recommend, that really depends on your hardware [09:12] lets assume my hardware is fine for 64bit... [09:13] sambuntu: I mean, say, how much RAM you have? If you have less then 4 gigs it's pointless to run 64-bit [09:13] iceroot - changing ip settings so the pc will work through my proxy, with the GUI interface as i cannot get it to work direct to the router [09:13] dariusvw: and where? /etc/network/interfaces? [09:13] theadmin, ok I see that point. [09:14] dariusvw: ah sorry didnt read the gui-part [09:14] sambuntu: using 32-bit OS and apps in 64-bit machines is a waste of hardware, but many things that are available for 32-bits are not yet available in 64-bit, so be careful on what you use right now, make sure there are 64-bit versions [09:15] iceroot - i tried that route to get the router connected, but it would not work. if i use the GUI route i can get it to work through a proxy [09:15] hunahpu, so I suppose the best bet, is to install 64bit, install or try to install all the apps I need, if they install and work, then voila solved. [09:15] theadmin: I may be wrong but I think there are more advantages in running 64-bit apps than just recognizing more than 3,5GB of RAM :p [09:15] Linux is capable of running most 32 bit applications with linux32 however... [09:15] and then i can benefit with some slight speed increases. [09:16] dariusvw: maybe you can give a detailed description on the network and what you want to do in one line [09:16] dariusvw: its hard to understand [09:16] sambuntu: yes, if you use "standard" "regular" stuff, you'll be fine; there are some 32-bits that can run in 64-bits OS's always double check [09:16] I appreciate some of the insight guys. Seeing that most forum chats are for older versions of ubuntu hence some older hardware, I was just interested to maybe go LTS with the new version and just stick to 64bit, but at the end of the day I guess I have to try it first [09:17] iceroot - if i use the GUI it will not accep a gateway address, thats why i can only get it to work through the proxy. but my proxy has verry few open ports, which causes other problems. Which is why i tried to get it to work direct to the router. [09:17] dariusvw: not accept mean you cant enter or it is not working? [09:18] sambuntu: my personal experience was really good when I switched to 64-bits, most apps run insanely fast, like sound conversion software, dvd creation, compiling, etc. [09:19] hi, all, i have a question about the pure text preview settings: I found as DPI increasing large portion of visible text in the thumbnails deducted, any body have suggestion to make the thumbnailer work better with high DPI? [09:20] hunahpu, I do some sound conversions and dvd creations at times, so at least I know when it comes to number crunching ill benefit from that [09:20] i guess the old flash issue has been mostly resolved [09:20] iceroot - in the GUI interface, for the network properties, under gateway - everytime i enter the gateway ip 196.*.*.* it returns to 0.0.0.0 [09:20] and I just mainly use skype/pidgin and watch movies [09:20] sambuntu: not quite, you still have to manually install flash 64-bits [09:20] is there a panel applet or something that will allow disabling the screensave temporarily? [09:20] dariusvw: and the gateway is in the same network as the ip? [09:20] dariusvw: ip of the client [09:20] well I understand i have to do it manually, but I mean in general its all generally ok [09:20] bp0: I have a shell script to do that [09:21] hi, all, i have a question about the pure text preview settings: I found as DPI increasing, a large part of visible text in the thumbnails deducted, anybody have suggestions to make the thumbnailer work better with high DPI? [09:21] iceroot - yes [09:21] well that is something [09:21] where? [09:21] dariusvw: with the same subnet [09:21] bp0: gimme a second I'll pastebin it for you [09:22] iceroot - IP 196.211.246.245 Gateway 196.211.246.241 [09:22] bp0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/419713/ [09:23] iceroot - i am using .244 on this PC Win XP [09:24] hello [09:24] hunahpu, so .. what does this do [09:24] hello darius [09:24] how do i turn it on again [09:24] :) sorry i thought my internet had died there [09:25] bp0: it kills the screensaver as long as the terminal where you invoke it is active [09:25] hmm [09:25] alright [09:25] thanks, better to have some toggle in the panel or something, i think [09:25] bp0: by closing the terminal or pressing "Ctrl+C", you can add cron, to kill it [09:25] well thanks, i think I will go ahead and reformat my desktop and install lucid 64bit on this and just see what happens :) [09:26] sambuntu: Wait until it's released at least :/ [09:26] 8 days... [09:26] hehe [09:26] ok fine :) [09:26] I have been using lucid on my netbook [09:26] but 32bit [09:26] but i guess i should wait for my desktop at least [09:26] and do it right the first time. [09:26] sambuntu, lucid is #ubuntu+1 [09:27] yea I know I was just adding that at the end... [09:27] dariusvw: and you can ping that gateway from the client? also you can try this "sudo route add default 196.211.246.245" [09:27] dariusvw: then the whole traffic is going to the gateway [09:27] and thanks again for everything, ill be sure to update you on any good news [09:28] "update you"... we're not computers :/ === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [09:29] iceroot: thanks i'll try that. No i did not try Pinging. any recomendations on Vim vs Nano Vs Vi Vs another? [09:29] !vim [09:29] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [09:31] dariusvw: matter of choice i guess right? [09:31] heh, funny that ubottu shows nano as the first CLI editor in the list [09:32] Geekphreak: problem is i am so new to linux/ubuntu i dont know what my choices are :) [09:32] theadmin: alpha sorted :p [09:32] geekphreak: Oh... :D [09:32] dariusvw: of course vim, the one and only editor (dont use vi, use vim) [09:32] iceroot: uh, afaik "vi" is same as "vim" these days [09:33] dariusvw: but maybe if you are new, use nano or if you want a gui use gedit (when needing root use gksudo gedit) [09:33] theadmin: no [09:33] It's normally a symlink to it, but vi does exist in distinction AFAIK [09:33] iceroot: Yep... typing vi in the terminal launched vim [09:33] Iceroot: thanks i'll try them all out [09:33] theadmin: vim.tiny [09:33] theadmin: which vi and then ls -l to that path will show vi -> vim.tiny [09:34] dariusvw: read about vi, powerfull but has learning curve to it [09:34] theadmin: sudo apt-get install vim will give you the real vim [09:34] iceroot: ...sorry, i did not understand a single word of what you just said === nikonoel is now known as lazycow [09:34] i installed ssmtp, but from what i have seen it only accepts one email to send from. is there a way i can configure two different emails to send from? [09:34] theadmin: vi is a symlink to vim.tiny [09:34] iceroot: oh [09:34] theadmin: vim.tiny != the real vim [09:35] theadmin: so vi != vim [09:35] iceroot: I see. Well, I don't really use it, because never had enough... non-laziness to learn it [09:35] theadmin: i dont know why ubuntu is not using the real vim but vim.tiny which is vi [09:36] theadmin: imo vi cant use the arrow-keys [09:36] hi everyone [09:37] perhamlinux: hello [09:38] i am wondering how many personal users are running ubuntu right now in the world ? [09:38] hi guys [09:39] anyone know what the difference in the MP3 decoder provided by the ffmpeg and fluendo plugins are and which are preferable? [09:39] ouyes: less than a million, but that's already very high imo [09:39] I'm guessing the fluendo plugin is licensed more favourably [09:40] Lazesharp: ffmpeg uses lame [09:40] perhamlinux, somebody in the #ubuntu+1 tell me it is 12 million, [09:40] ouyes: it's impossible to know how many people are using Ubuntu [09:41] ouyes: I'm searching for a reliable source right now [09:41] ouyes: There are some ways to estimate, but it's nowhere near the actual numbers [09:41] perhamlinux: so what's the practical differences, from a user perspective? [09:43] Lazesharp: hardly any difference. they both open the same kind of file with quite the same algorithm [09:43] fair enough [09:43] Lazesharp: haven't ran a benchmark to see which one is faster, but I guess the difference would be minimal [09:43] odd that 10.04 prompts to install both when you try to play an MP3 file, it should really ask you to choose [09:45] Lazesharp: haven't tried 10.04 myself yet. I only use stable releases ;) [09:45] fair enough, I figured 9 days away from release 10.04 must be fairly stable [09:46] ouyes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Reception [09:46] * geekphreak on it, loving it (Lucid) [09:46] Lazesharp: yes it should be. but then again, karmic works absolutely great for me! [09:48] hellow! i have a problem. i can only execute firefox wuth sudo command, bacause the owner of /usr/bin/firefox is root root. how do i chane permission to username jurcek? [09:48] jurcek: I think you... sudo chmod 777 /usr/bin/firefox [09:49] theadmin, O: [09:49] archbuclaw: ? [09:49] or maybe 555. Yeah, that'd be better [09:50] no need for w permissions on group / other [09:50] 755 would be default. [09:50] jurcek, also I would check the ownership of ~/.mozilla [09:50] theadmin, doesn't help the user who can execute the firefox is still root [09:51] jurcek, that is what it is supposed to be. [09:51] jurcek: Uh, not only owner can execute the program [09:51] you are looking at it at the wrong angle. [09:52] jurcek: do you actually get error message when you try to run firefox as normal user? [09:52] sudo chown -v jurcek /usr/bin/firefox [09:52] ? [09:52] IMO - smells like not having ownership of ~/.mozilla, or another part of his home directyory [09:53] geekphreak, i get this error. /home/jurcek/bin/firefox: line 3: /home/jurcek/firefox/firefox: No such file or directory [09:53] DryGrain: You don't chown files in /usr/bin to someone except root :/ [09:53] /home/jurcek/bin/firefox: line 3: exec: /home/jurcek/firefox/firefox: cannot execute: No such file or directory [09:53] this is why you never run GUI applications using sudo... [09:53] what is firefox doing in $OME? [09:53] :x [09:53] jurcek, what happens when you run: cd /home/jurcek/firefox [09:55] archbuclaw: jurcek you can use cd ~ to go to the home-directory, so it will be cd ~/firefox [09:55] archbuclaw, i don't have this folder jurcek/firefox [09:56] jurcek: something aint right :p [09:57] * perhamlinux learned this just right now [09:57] the permissin to .mozilla are drwx------ 3 jurcek jurcek 4096 2010-03-16 13:01 extensions [09:57] drwx------ 3 jurcek jurcek 4096 2010-03-16 13:01 firefox [09:58] jurcek, if you don't have the directory, then you've messed up the installation of whatever you did. [09:58] jurcek, I take it you installed your own version? [09:59] archbuclaw, i have firefox in this directories /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/firefox [09:59] archbuclaw, i did sudo apt-get install firefox [09:59] jurcek, do you have hidden files available? (view menu) its /juricek/.firefox not the . that makes it hidden [09:59] assuming youw ere looking in home [09:59] jurcek: do a sudo apt-get remove firefox and then install it again with sudo aptitude install firefox [10:00] Ken8521, i have .mozilla and i don't have .firefox [10:00] jurcek: did you also download firefox package to check for new version by any chance mate from there site?? [10:00] geekphreak, you mean .deb packages ? [10:00] jurcek: .gz i mean [10:00] when I use Ubuntu Live CD, can I acces my Hard disks to copy paste data to usb? [10:00] geekphreak, i don't like .gz files, i prefer .deb packages :D [10:01] jdmulti: yes, you need to mount them [10:01] jurcek: ok good checking :) [10:01] how can I do that? [10:01] it won't auto mount them? [10:01] jdmulti: in the places menu, you will see your hard disk partitions and your usb disk upon insertion [10:02] perhamlinux, apt-get remove firefox and aptitude install firefox doesn't work [10:02] jdmulti: click on each one, and copy your files just like in windows [10:02] aah ok, thanks, :D [10:02] jdmulti: yw ;) [10:03] recovering some data from a laptop, original OS didn't start anymore and else my gf loses all data :/ [10:03] geekphreak, this is what i get if i ran firefox without sudo command http://paste.ubuntu.com/419727/ [10:03] jurcek: how about apt-get purge firefox? and what is the outputs? [10:03] i also get this [10:04] jurcek: can you open terminal for me? [10:04] jdmulti: we'll be here if you wanted any further help [10:04] kk, probebly later today, at work now and afther gonna fix it, just wanted to knew a few things beforehand ;) [10:04] geekphreak, i did sudo apt-get remove firefox and if i run command firefox i get the same error as http://paste.ubuntu.com/419727/ [10:04] but thanks a lot :D [10:04] !who | jdmulti [10:05] jdmulti: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [10:05] aah kk :P [10:05] jdmulti: ;) [10:05] perhamlinux: :D [10:05] jurcek: can you open terminal for me please? [10:05] geekphreak, i am doing all the command from terminal [10:06] ok type this there >> /usr/bin/firefox [10:06] get same message? [10:06] permission denied [10:07] jurcek, the full message?

Try again later. This is what i have in my config: http://pastebin.com/PjDXQuyN [10:09] archbuclaw, nom such file or directory [10:09] i mean setting up ssmtp, not smtp [10:10] archbuclaw, for both firefox and firefox-3.5 no such file or directory [10:10] jurcek: you just got perm. denied man on firefox [10:10] geekphreak, yes i know that, what now ? [10:11] jurcek, file is probably missing then. [10:11] dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox [10:11] archbuclaw, shoud i create this folder or what? [10:12] archbuclaw, dpkg: /usr/bin/firefox not found. [10:12] and there you go [10:12] yes, i deleted firefox [10:12] and replaced it? [10:12] i will install it first [10:12] oh gawd lol [10:13] hey guys, anyone that could help me out with nonworking avidemux? [10:13] jurcek: this is ubuntu 9.10 right? [10:13] geekphreak, ok, with dpkg -s command i get firefox: /usr/bin/firefox [10:13] geekphreak, yes, it's 9.10 [10:14] jurcek, and running firefox gets you what ... [10:14] how can I find what's working on my 80 port? I'd like to kill the sucker to run my server, but I don't what process is it [10:14] archbuclaw, if i run it with sudo firefox it runs firefox normaly, but if i run it only with firefox command i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/419727/ [10:15] jurcek: ls -l /usr/bin/fir* [10:15] !ask | maX0 [10:15] maX0: 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. :-) [10:15] jurcek, then remove the local installation ? [10:15] archbuclaw, how do i do that? [10:15] rm ~/bin/firefox [10:15] hi all where can I put the password for my account in evolution, I did try the wizard and account settings [10:16] jurcek, infact, if the "bin" directory in your home directory is empty, remove that altogether [10:16] snitko: netstat -anp | grep :80 as root [10:16] abou_7anash_009: email account password? [10:16] abou_7anash_009: it asks first time you connect [10:16] archbuclaw, it's not empty [10:17] SwedeMike: makes no sense, only shows processes that connect somewhere outside to the external port 80 [10:18] /quit [10:19] erUSUL: howdy :) [10:19] geekphreak: good morning :) [10:20] jurcek: ls -l ~/bin [10:20] jurcek: can you paste output of this command >> ls -l /usr/bin/fir* [10:20] jurcek, well, I'll leave you to decide whether or not it is needed then. (chances am - probably not, unless you installed other applications there). - I take it firefox probably works now. [10:20] although, you might want to clean up any mess you made via: [10:21] sudo chown jurcek:jurcek ~/.mozilla -R [10:21] Trying to setup imaps usign port 993 and tls , I did set all settings as they should be, the work fine on thunderbird, however all that evolution does is keep scanning for folders and then nohting it does not even prompt for a passwrod [10:21] I've installed avidemux, but wasn't able to start it, when I start it from the start menu, nothing happens, when I start it from terminal, I get this error output http://paste.ubuntu.com/419738/ and application stops again, any suggestions? [10:21] I did launch evolution from a shell and the message there is Making Error [10:21] jurcek, and in future, don't use sudo to run GUI apps. =) [10:22] abou_7anash_009: did you click on send/recieve [10:22] abou_7anash_009: what email service are you using? gmail? [10:23] wow he left [10:23] geekphreak: who? [10:23] I need a simple program to draw red circles around parts of a jpg image that I want to highlight. What should I use? Gimp doesn't have that feature [10:24] jurcek whom we were working with, prob got d/c [10:24] BusMaster: try xpaint [10:24] geekphreak, ok, I'll apt-get it now [10:25] BusMaster: also gpaint and kolourpaint are good programs. I have all installed [10:25] why I can't see the other computer in my network folder?

[10:28] perhamlinux, what kind of a program doesn' have undo ;) [10:28] BusMaster: a geeky one! [10:28] perhamlinux: no I am using my company's IMAP server [10:29] maX0: try reporting it to avidemux group. it's a bug there [10:29] perhamlinux: Empathy is much better than Pidgin. [10:29] bullgard hello [10:30] bullgard4: select text , that you wana number >> bull >> bullet and numbering [10:30] bullgard4: then we can agree to disagree [10:31] perhamlinux: thanks [10:31] BusMaster: rm [10:32] abou_7anash_009: in preferences, account editor, did you set the authentication type to password? [10:32] iceroot: that was funny hehe [10:32] perhamlinux: yaeh [10:32] iceroot, ergo, newbies like me prefer "Move to Trash" :) [10:33] BusMaster: there is no trash on the cli [10:33] and it's not asking for password? abou_7anash_009 [10:33] iceroot, yeah..the cli is uber-manly [10:33] iceroot: $HOME/.local/share/Trash ;) [10:34] perhamlinux: no when doing send receive it appears to be working but it does nothing it does not even get the folder listing and no errors as well === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [10:34] geekphreak, and maybe alias rm='mv $1 $HOME/.local/share/Trash'; or something like that.. [10:34] abou_7anash_009: is imap even enabled on your gmail? [10:34] abou_7anash_009: I have no idea . I'm using imap with gmx.com and it works great [10:35] Is Linux Mint better than Ubuntu? [10:35] geekphreak: it's not gmail. it's his company's server [10:35] Yoshario: define better [10:35] oh ok perhamlinux sorry [10:35] Yoshario it all really depends on what you actually plan to DO on said linux distro [10:35] Yoshario: matter of personal choice [10:35] and what geekphreak said [10:36] like me === Guest52442 is now known as Nijverheid [10:36] I just got done changing from ubuntu (nice distro, good features) back to PCLinuxOS GNOME [10:36] abou_7anash_009: have you tried setting it with thunderbird and see if it works? [10:36] Hi all. Can anyone recommend a utility to "ping" a host by TCP port? [10:36] nmap [10:37] I think can do it [10:37] geekphreak: and rm dont care about trash [10:37] gjb: nmap, and for a gui try zenmap [10:37] iceroot: lol agreed but you can mv stuff there that ya wana rm :d [10:38] geekphreak: the trash is working with something like a registry so mv will not modify the registry correctly [10:38] Are there any other ubuntu-related channels? [10:38] perhamlinux: yaeh it works with TB but I dont like TB it is to slow in search and indexing no easy way to create filters and rules right away from message ..amongst half a dozen other things [10:39] Yoshario: #ubuntu+1 for lucid support [10:39] iceroot: agreed sir [10:39] abou_7anash_009: fine. then I guess the problem is in evolution itself. contact their support team [10:39] Zider, perhamlinux: Thanks. I'll have a look at the docs to see whether it can probe every second. [10:39] Yoshario: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [10:39] Thanks rww === nibbler is now known as nibbier [10:40] any chess players here? [10:40] yeah [10:40] geekphreak: I found it. Thank you very much for your help. [10:40] do you play on fics? [10:40] perhamlinux: you have a ubuntu-support-question? [10:40] bullgard4 welcome [10:41] iceroot: nope, just chatting [10:41] perhamlinux: you motherfucker ...I suggest you go take your mom from behind doggy style ..I fucking know it is an evolution problem..why the fuck are you wasting my time ...I could have made your mother blow me one during the time I wasted on you you bastard [10:41] perhamlinux: you motherfucker ...I suggest you go take your mom from behind doggy style ..I fucking know it is an evolution problem..why the fuck are you wasting my time ...I could have made your mother blow me one during the time I wasted on you you bastard [10:41] abou_7anash_009: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:49] anybody recommend a firewall [10:49] arvind_khadri: ubuntu ok now? [10:49] Is there an english-german dictionary for the CLI? [10:50] johnlvpl, there's a built-in one already, its called iptables [10:50] geekphreak, yeah, working fine, using thunderbird-2 === lukjad007 is now known as lukjad86 [10:50] what is IRC? [10:50] arvind_khadri: urgh [10:50] johnlvpl: for what you need a firewall? normally you dont need a (persoanl) firewall like the things on windows [10:50] Hi. I'm using Evolution mail and changed the passwords for my email-account. when i want to receive my emails it fails, prompting that there is an authentication-issui. it does not say which account is affected. neither way i don't know how to change the password for this account. do you know ? [10:51] le_: internet relay chat, the one you are using here [10:51] le_: No idea, maybe you could ask the guys on IRC if they know. [10:51] le_: There you have it. They could. [10:51] johnlvpl, the firewall's built in and called iptables [10:52] I am getting the following: sudo: ping: command not found [10:52] hehe.....im a chinese [10:52] digifor: dont use sudo for ping [10:52] it's a text-based interface, but there are GUI frontends for it. [10:52] thanks guys, sorry very new to this, only installed last night [10:52] I wouldn't really call iptables a firewall, but.. *shrugs* [10:52] JohnnyAmerica, Firestarter's a common reccomendation [10:53] iceroot, ping https://unakrt-wm.unlb.org/bash: /bin/ping: Permission denied [10:53] er, not JohnnyAmerica [10:53] I usually have to sudo [10:53] hehe me you mean [10:53] johnlvpl, Firestarter's a common reccomendation [10:53] how can i limit lsof down to a specific path (/media/archivestorage/)? [10:53] digifor: ls -l /bin/ping [10:54] ---------- 1 root root 34756 2010-03-12 00:12 /bin/ping [10:54] test [10:55] digifor: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 33528 9. Sep 2009 /bin/ping* [10:56] I have a problem...i install windows on vmware, i want to have my windows guest connected to internet, then my host ubuntu share this connection~ [10:56] digifor: sudo chmod 755 /bin/ping [10:56] digifor: sudo chmod u+s /bin/ping [10:57] what?? [10:57] who can tell me？ [10:57] 有中国的吗～ [10:57] le_: #vmware [10:58] geekphreak, no zoom in / out ... hold super key and scroll your mouse [10:58] 有 [10:58] anyone willing to recomend a Terminal program to use from windows --> ubuntu and for ubuntu --> windows. Both pc's will be on the 10.0.0.x IP range although the Xp PC is on a domain. Thanks [10:59] dariusvw: terminal-prog for what? [11:00] ping [11:00] llutz; sorry, so that i can see what on the other pc and work on it remotely [11:00] dariusvw: ssh/putty(win) [11:02] hi [11:02] dariusvw: cygwin/sshd on the windows-machine as ssh-server to that you can use ssh into it [11:03] dariusvw: cygwin sucks, use freesshd [11:03] DBAN crashes on the computer, I want to delete all data from. Is there a tool, that works with the Ubuntu USB-boot-thumb-drive, which lets me irrecoverably delete hard drives? [11:04] llutz: that works on windows too? === andi is now known as Guest18360 [11:04] geekphreak: ssh? sure, if you know win commandline [11:04] hmw wipe [11:04] hmw, repeated dd ? [11:04] thx [11:04] llutz: i know my command line :) [11:07] hmw: shred from the Ubuntu LiveCD [11:07] !html [11:07] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [11:08] something like "shred -n 3 -z -v /dev/sd?" will replicate standard DBAN behaviour (3 random passes, 1 zero pass) [11:09] LOL - from the man page of wipe (the author doesnt trust hard drives too much): "The best way to sanitize a storage medium is to subject it to temperatures exceeding 1500K" [11:09] I'd agree with that, it's the only way to be really safe :P [11:10] hmw, no-one trusts hdds that much [11:10] hmw: well its true, hdd cannot be trusted , thats why people recomend backups, right? [11:10] All any software tool can do is make it more effort than it's worth to get the data off. [11:11] hmw: you can also get something like ubcd, which has kildisk, similar to dban [11:12] geekphreak: most datas were lost due to layer-8 problems [11:13] llutz: oh ok [11:13] note taken. in this case an "unsafe" 4-passes-only wipe will suffice. Can someone tell me, why the man page is warning me about wiping a whole drive (not only a partition), since the MBR would be deleted? I mean, so what?? Can't Linux create a new MBR after I wiped it with wipe -kD /dev/sda ?? [11:14] "rm important.data" ups ,where is the trash? :( [11:15] hmw, because your intention might be to just delete a partition. If you hose an entire drive when aiming for just a partition, you'd be pissed [11:15] well, I would be [11:15] BigRedS_: that was, what I was thinking, too - the man page is somewhat confusing about this detail. Thanks. [11:16] Clicking on links in thunderbrid doesn't make a link open in firefox. Default webbrowser is set to firefox. But it won't work anyway. [11:17] kennethaar: you have to set http protocol-handler-app in thunderbird [11:20] time for work, adios :) [11:20] hellooo === Anon014 is now known as iMuNCo [11:21] !hi | iMuNCo [11:21] iMuNCo: 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! [11:22] llutz: Where do I do this [11:22] !apt-get [11:22] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [11:24] kennethaar: user.js or prefs.js, tb-3 should have an option in settings-menu for that, just look for it [11:24] is it a good idea to add the PPA of every program i have installed? because ubuntu doesnt always update when a newer version of the program is released, even when its stabloe === Nijverheid is now known as Guest68467 [11:25] for some reason i cannot resize my ntfs RAID using ntfsresize. i get this error: ERROR(21): Opening '/media/ArchiveStorage/' as NTFS failed: Is a directory [11:25] lalalol: if you want always the newest stuff, you shouldn't use a distro with fixed release cycles [11:25] lalalol, it add management overhead and reduces the stability. [11:25] ##c++ [11:26] azlon: i guess it needs a device not a mountpoint [11:26] lalalol, It's a reasonable idea to do it for some specific apps you want to keep bang up to date with, but rather than use hundreds of PPAs you might want to look at a more bleeding-edge-following distro. [11:26] llutz: so i should use /dev/md0/ instead of /media/ArchiveStorage? let me try... [11:26] BigRedS_, which distro should i use then? [11:27] lalalol, Er, I don't know really. I'm a bit of a debianite - Ubuntu's as bleeding edge as I get [11:27] BigRedS_, how many PPA's would you use at max? [11:27] lalalol: debian-sid if you know what you're doing [11:27] llutz: http://pastebin.com/6KvBk7Ue [11:28] azlon: no www here, sry [11:28] lalalol, you can use getdeb and playdeb for updated packages [11:28] thx for all the info guys :) [11:28] lalalol, It depends. If I want a JustWorks box, two or three. If I don't mind the odd bit of messing around, maybe several more. Also depends on teh stability of the PPA - how stable is teh code before it gets into it? [11:29] BigRedS_, i'd use a ppa for cairodock, pidgin, chromium, and maybe openoffice [11:29] Ah yeah, Debian Unstable's, er, fun and mostly bleeding edge. Debian Testing's approximately Ubuntu but without any releases, just rolling updates. === Ken8521_ is now known as Ken8521 [11:29] llutz: i ran this: "sudo ntfsresize -fn --size 7000G /dev/md0/" and it returned this: "ERROR(20): Failed to check '/dev/md0/' mount state: Not a directory. Probably /etc/mtab is missing. It's too risky to continue. You might try an another Linux distro." [11:29] Are there any programs that can send an email if f.ex. a hdd on a server is getting full? [11:29] I am happily wiping already. Thanks for your input! Have a nice Day! [11:29] lalalol, that sounds quite reasonable. It's more if you're up to 15-20 that I'd start cowering [11:30] ok BigRedS_ , thx, oh and one more thing, which chat client would you recommend, xchat or smuxi? [11:30] Demiurge: several. Munin, Nagios, Cacti. There's probably more desktoppy ones, too [11:30] azlon: sorry i cannot help you, i dont use raid at all and hardly ntfs. imho it's better to use win-tools to work with ntfs [11:30] BigRedS_: Thanks. [11:30] lalalol, XChat appears to be reasonable. I normally use irssi. never seen smuxi [11:30] k BigRedS_ [11:32] hi there! I would like to discover whihc package create the directory /usr/include/FL and installed the files that are there [11:32] how do i do that? [11:32] ct529: dpkg -S /usr/include/FL [11:33] llutz: thanks a lot [11:34] llutz: and if I want to find which package would provide the file /usr/include/GL/glu.h before installing it? [11:34] ct529: apt-file search [11:36] how do I allow a program access through the ubuntu firewall? [11:37] why can i only have a 800x600 on my screen [11:37] anyone knows what to do [11:37] Hi [11:38] micael: try going to system then hardware drivers [11:38] i am new and just trying out linux [11:38] see if there is a driver there === libertiy is now known as libertiy|away [11:38] AdmiralDeath there is no driver [11:39] then I have no idea. I am new to linux myself [11:39] it is a Acer aspire m1610 that i have [11:39] you tried adjusting the resolution right? === gui_ is now known as kryl [11:40] AdmiralDeath in the resolutipn i only have 800x600 and i smaller [11:40] how do i see what a process is based on it's id? [11:40] ok thats all I can think of. My knowledge of linux is very small [11:40] micael: what graphics card do you have? [11:41] Admiradeath thanks [11:41] no problem [11:42] so anyone know how to let a program through the ubuntu firewall? [11:42] azlon: ps aux | grep [11:42] AdmiralDeath: how do you mean ? [11:42] AdmiralDeath: ubuntu's firewall has no rules setup by default, so there's nothing to do [11:43] AdmiralDeath: Ubuntu is ok by default when it comes to firewall as far as I know, but you can install gufw if you want, a graphical program, and tell it to use firewall. [11:43] goez: ok, now how do i kill that process? [11:43] AdmiralDeath: the "firewall" does not app-based [11:43] I am using wine to install a program and I need that program to be able to bypass the firewall. I trust the program so it is not a security risk [11:43] kill -9 [11:43] work* [11:43] azlon: kill -9 [11:43] well for some reason it is blocking the program I am trying to install [11:43] AdmiralDeath: Which program? [11:43] goez: thanks [11:43] Steam [11:44] Zider not sure i am trying to find it on acer [11:44] AdmiralDeath: "sudo iptables -L" [11:44] micael: there's no sticker on the computer or something? [11:44] AdmiralDeath: Ubuntu firewall's and Wine aren't exactly linked. Also you can get Steam working in Wine, you can ask for help in #winehq [11:44] AdmiralDeath: if u have a firewall, u need to open up the steam ports [11:45] don't know them out of my head [11:45] could always run steam and open up terminal, type in sudo lsof -i [11:45] Zider it can be sis mirage [11:45] I only have whatever comes preinstalled with ubuntu [11:45] AdmiralDeath: if you got say a router with a enabled built in firewall, well then sure you may need to open up ports in that, for certain applications [11:45] goez: i dont think im doing something right. i am trying to umount my RAID by doing sudo umount /media/ArchiveStorage/. this returns an error of "umount: /media/ArchiveStorage: device is busy." so then i did: "fuser -m /media/ArchiveStorage/" and it returned, "/media/ArchiveStorage/: 3259c" [11:46] AdmiralDeath: there is no filtering by default === libertiy|away is now known as libertiy [11:46] I have everything opened in my router [11:46] micael: hm, no idea then.. :/ [11:46] maybe it is wine [11:46] azlon: lsof | grep /media/ArchiveStorage [11:46] azlon: that will show the processed that are writing on the disk atm [11:46] AdmiralDeath: ask at #winehq [11:46] AdmiralDeath: I know that Steam should work in wine, because as far as I know quite a lot of other people have been successful [11:46] k thanks [11:47] goez: it didnt return anything [11:47] goez: this is what i have done so far: http://pastebin.com/9Bgu9H82 [11:47] Morning. Funny thing - setting up a new webserver on an internal machine, fresh karmic install - but trying to set up mysql and I find the default root password is not blank. Has this changed in Karmic? [11:48] which package do i need for 32bit gl on a 64bit system? [11:48] need it for wine [11:48] FunkyWeasel: iirc, you are asked to set one during install [11:48] Zider ok thanks [11:48] hello [11:49] ? [11:49] jrib: That's what I though. I used synaptic. It did not prompt me. [11:49] azlon: try fuser -v /media/ArchiveStorage [11:49] FunkyWeasel: try dpkg-reconfigure whatever-the-package-was [11:49] goez: nothing [11:49] then try a forced umount [11:49] Hello guys, I need help.. Does anyone know how to use .awn thing? I want to use the Avant Window Navigator but I don't know how I can get it working, Could anyone please help me? [11:50] sudo umount /media/ArchiveStorage --force [11:50] or -o force [11:50] jrib: No apparent response to dkpg-reconfigure [11:50] FunkyWeasel: just reset the password I guess, the mysql docs have instructions [11:50] dpkg-reconfigure -p low packagename could be better [11:50] what is install flash ? [11:50] help me [11:50] please [11:50] i am in poland [11:50] !flash > alicja [11:50] alicja, please see my private message [11:51] !flash [11:51] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [11:51] in case for some reason root password isn't listed as a high priority question (although I can't think of much higher!) [11:51] jrib: Aye, there's the deb hack. Strange that I have to though. I thought default pword was blank. Something's obviously changed in karmic. [11:51] goez: none of those worked, they all returned "device is busy" [11:51] !chroot [11:51] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) === karina is now known as Guest91371 [11:52] FunkyWeasel: it did used to be blank but I seem to recall having to set a password in debconf so it must have changed. It should have still worked even if you used synaptic though [11:52] Yup - l/databases/mysql/ubuntu-9.10-karmic at site ibrary.linode.com says the same. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling mysql-server with apt-get. No prompt for pword. [11:52] azlon: can u do a ps auxw|grep 3259 ? [11:53] or [11:53] azlon: do 'sudo ps auxw|grep 3259' ? [11:53] ok [11:54] goez: http://pastebin.com/Yqy6NTr3 [11:54] azlon: is it a samba share? [11:54] yes [11:54] FunkyWeasel: did you remove or purge mysql? [11:54] azlon: thats the problem, ur samba deamon is still accessing the drive [11:54] remove may have left the old config intact, meaning it wouldn't ask you for the password again [11:54] i need vuze an google earth for complete my xplinux , ylmf os i need links [11:55] azlon: sudo /etc/init.d/smbd stop (or smb stop) [11:55] goez, crap... so i need to kill smb [11:55] g_a_c: Just tried a package remove. It's a fresh copy of mysql, nothing importanted, no config changes. Highly confusing. [11:55] azlon: u can gracefully stop it with that init.d script :p [11:55] g_a_c: Have not successfully logged in to mysql yet. [11:55] azlon: then u mount and then restart smb (/etc/init.d/smb start) [11:55] both smb and smbd say command not found [11:55] i need debian packs because i dont know compile [11:56] can anybody tell me what fstype i need to ut to mount an img file [11:56] azlon: and samba or sumthing? (try /etc/init.d/s) also don't forget u need to run it as root [11:56] need to put* [11:56] Can't even use sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reset-password because I also get access denied! === OerHeks is now known as Oer [11:56] FunkyWeasel: dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server ? [11:57] goez: Does nothing. [11:57] goez: freaking awesome! thanks!

In evolution, work phone numbers doesn't show up in list view. Does anyone know about this? [12:11] !lucid | mentok [12:11] mentok: 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 [12:11] any idea how to communicate directly with the Ubuntu developers? [12:11] thank you. [12:11] peterson: for what purpose? [12:12] I need to give my sugesstions to `em. [12:12] !brainstorm | peterson [12:12] peterson: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [12:12] Before Lucid released. [12:12] feature freeze tomorrow [12:13] final freeze. feature freeze was a while ago. [12:13] goez, syslog says that mysql port 3306 might be already in use although nothing is using 3306 at this time [12:13] whoops thanks rww [12:13] and final freeze was last week, actually :3 [12:14] reeniginEesreveR: netstat -tap |grep 3306 [12:14] Isn't the final April 29th? [12:14] any simple way of getting qt apps look like my gtk theme? [12:14] hi folks, in my 9.10 GNOME has suddenly stopped to mount things, dmesg discovers that e.g. a new SD-card has been inserted, but it is not mounted by GNOME, what's wrong?? [12:14] petmark, yes [12:14] goez, nohing else is listening on 3306 :S [12:15] So I know one gift I'll get for my birthday. [12:15] lucid is about to release I`m not sure whether is this too late. [12:15] peterson, it is. #ubuntu+1 for lucid support [12:16] reeniginEesreveR: and when u telnet localhost 3306 u don't get anything either? [12:16] I haven't setup an Ubuntu system from scratch for awhile, since you can just upgrade to the next. On a clean install, is DHCP on by default? [12:16] petmark, yup [12:16] petmark: yes [12:16] IPV4 and/or IPV6? [12:16] petmark: I think ipv4 [12:17] goez: nope [12:17] anyone know anything about Nvidia drivers for ubuntu [12:17] ? [12:18] just ask the question [12:18] Thanks. ( I always change mine to static, so I didn't remember the defaults. ) [12:18] I know a couple of things about them [12:18] says Failed to parse existing X Config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! [12:18] petmark, there is the option of setting static in the installer I think. [12:18] reeniginEesreveR: weird :/ [12:19] goez, :( [12:19] AdmiralDeath, is there an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and can you read it as the user you're running the NVIdia installer as? [12:19] reeniginEesreveR: and ur sure u are running it as root? [12:19] if there isn't one (there's not by default), just touching it might help [12:19] Hi! Can someone help me out with Ubuntu sound. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 a week ago and i still cannot use my headphones. I have laptop with integrated sound card. Speakers are fine by the way. I checked alsamixer and un-muted everything there but output still doesnt work [12:19] goez, i sure am [12:19] goez: ok, so the more i read the more i realized NTFS on linux just plain suxors... is there any way to convert the fs to ext3 without having to reformat or move all of my information? [12:20] nsp do you know which sound chipset you've got? [12:20] but when i try to connect, it says Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [12:20] azlon, Nope [12:20] azlon: don't think so [12:20] BigRedS: yes there is a xorg.conf and yes I can read it === traveller_ is now known as traveller [12:20] Does X report any errors on parsing it? It might be malformed [12:20] AdmiralDeath, ^^ [12:21] it does not say anything about errors [12:21] Hm? [12:21] do I need to be using the terminal to open it? [12:21] Funny problem i Evolution: When I save a number in contacts under work phone, the number is moved to 'fax home' when I save. When I save under 'fax home' it is moved to 'home phone' etc. What's up with that? [12:21] AdmiralDeath, using the terminal to open what? [12:22] You must have X stopped to install the driver [12:22] the xorg.conf [12:22] or certainly used to need to [12:22] Ah, no. [12:22] all I have is sections for screen module and device [12:22] The errors will be xorg's log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:22] Lines beginning '(EE)' are errors, which is what you'd expect if you had a malformed xorg.conf [12:23] so [12:23] grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log [12:23] normally tells you if you've errors [12:23] in a terminal [12:23] with the easy than is found and install programs in windows but with linux problems .... always problems.. [12:24] hi [12:24] xplinux, what? [12:24] !software > xplinux [12:24] xplinux, please see my private message [12:24] need friend [12:24] I opended the log file and there are no lines starting with EE [12:25] :( [12:25] xplinux: the thing is in windows you go on the web and 'find' things.. in ubuntu you want to use teh package manager tools and let them find things. [12:25] :P === Remixman_ is now known as Remixman [12:27] AdmiralDeath, try moving the xorg.conf file elsewhere (xorg.conf.bak ?) and rerunning the driver installer? might break X, so keep the current one handy to unbreak it [12:27] ok I will try that === poutine is now known as Yahweh [12:29] it would seem that I dont have permission [12:29] ah yeah, you won't. root does [12:29] In a terminal: [12:29] let me log in as root and see if I can do it there [12:29] to work with a system file. You need 'root' rights of course. :) [12:29] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [12:29] Noo! Don't log in as root! [12:29] There be dragons [12:29] anyone knows how to do with a sis mirage 771 card to work in the new ubuntu [12:30] How do I upgrade a single program (e.g. Evolution)? [12:30] dr the manager tools in linusx arent automatics for this reason the users windows with linux have problems many problems [12:30] haavaros: apt-get install evolution [12:30] ok I typed that command [12:30] oh ... thx [12:31] haavaros will install the latest version of evolution that's in the repository and update all dependencies [12:31] and nothing happened [12:31] i'm having a problem. i closed my lid on my laptop (which enables a blank screen) and i came back a few hours later, opened the lid, and it's still blank. i can see the cursor and move the mouse and it looks like i am hovering over apps because the cursor changes, any suggestions? [12:31] i am using ubuntu 9.10 amd64 [12:31] bash: vim . But how to open the same file +UTF-8? what option do I pass in the terminal? [12:31] it asked for my password but it appears to have done nothing [12:32] nomnex, set enc=utf-8 [12:32] /JOIN #sex [12:32] in vim [12:32] [12:32] BigRedS_: Ok, it didn't update, although latest version is 2.30 and I have 2.28. I guess it's not in the repos, then [12:32] haavaros: gnome 2.30 will be shipped with lucid [12:32] AdmiralDeath, if it succeeds it'll not say anything. do ls /etc/X11 and you should see it's copied. then delete the current one (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) [12:32] BigRedS_, vim set enc=utf-8 ? I don't want it to be permanent, only for this file [12:32] nomnex: IN vim [12:33] I cant delete the current one [12:33] it wont let me [12:33] nomnex: don't forget typing ':' :-) [12:33] nomnex. No, open vim, then set enc=utf-8 then :o [12:33] I think. [12:33] I tell it to delete and it does nothing [12:33] hello can someone help me get the original panel back for my desktop? [12:33] AdmiralDeath, so both files are still there, and it's not produced an error? [12:34] BigRedS_, thanks, IN vim makes sens now (iceroot) [12:34] correct [12:34] AdmiralDeath, In Linux, things succeed silently - if all went well, it doesn't say anything. [12:34] other then the original error [12:34] AdmiralDeath, That *is* weird [12:34] !restorepanel [12:34] \j #ubuntu+1 [12:34] figures [12:34] !resetpanel [12:34] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:35] hi there [12:35] ubottu that sound malicious [12:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:35] one user if able to see another users files by going to /home/username [12:35] why ? [12:35] how to disable this ? [12:35] smith, it unsets user configuration to the panel, then kills the process running it. GDM then reinvokes it with the new defaults [12:36] silv3r_m00n, look at file permissions. It's not an easy IRC explanation, but it's not particularly difficult, either [12:36] I see that Evolution saves account settings in home/.gconf. Are those deleted upon uninstall? [12:36] haavaros: uninstall of what? [12:36] silv3r_m00n: use chmod [12:36] Dr_Willis: Evolutoin [12:36] * smith shifts uneasily in his chair [12:36] haavaros: not by default. apt-get --purge remove evolution will remove them [12:36] silv3r_m00n, try changing the directory perms with chmod -R 700 directoryname [12:36] well, purge all evo's config files [12:36] haavaros: thats windows thinking.. the package manager should NOT touch user settings/configs in their home [12:36] but by default arnt the files of one user supposed to be inaccessible to other users [12:36] BigRedS_: not user files.. system files yes.. [12:37] silv3r_m00n: not really. [12:37] BigRedS_: Dr_Willis: OK, so when I reinstall it without the purge option it'll work with all account I have now? [12:37] means all users can read and modify all other users files [12:37] ? [12:37] yeah [12:37] silv3r_m00n: if you want you can lock downt eh dirs more.. but then you may break that 'user defined shares' feature [12:37] k thx [12:37] silv3r_m00n: you are misstaken.. SEE, yes,, read,, perhaps.. Write.. No. [12:37] sweet bigred and mr botu, it worked [12:37] silv3r_m00n, you can't delete them or write usually [12:37] thanks [12:37] ^^ [12:37] hmm [12:37] silv3r_m00n: time to read up on Linux filesystem permissions [12:38] you just earned coll points [12:38] :D [12:38] Xorg taking up 99% CPU what could it be ? [12:38] thanks [12:38] on ubuntu 9.10 my microphone doesn't work [12:38] peace [12:38] how to make it work [12:39] silv3r_m00n: impossible to answer if you don't specify what hardware you have === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [12:39] silv3r_m00n, click on the volume icon on the top bar , open sound preferences , browse to Input tab , there uncheck "mute" [12:40] tried all that still doesn't work [12:40] BigRedS_: I think it is called Realtek HD Audio [12:40] silv3r_m00n, what do you see under Choose a device for a sound input [12:41] BigRedS_ : I think it is called Realtek HD Audio [12:41] me on kde [12:42] ok it is telling me Nvidia installer must be run as root [12:42] silv3r_m00n, right , but you hear output sounds right , so your audio card is okay [12:42] silv3r_m00n, and the mic is internal stuff right? [12:42] yah I can listen to music [12:43] but mic doesn't work [12:43] nsp, I don't know the current status of realtek drivers in Linux, but they used to be iffy [12:43] silv3r_m00n, so all we fight against is some audio control in the prefs jungle [12:43] How do I exit X? [12:43] hmm [12:44] silv3r_m00n, coz if you hear music means the mic is also there hardwarewise [12:44] might be problem with the hardware as well - it's a known bug that the internal microphone on my laptop (Acer TM 8371) doesn't work, for one [12:44] AdmiralDeath: one way ' sudo service gdm stop' [12:44] AdmiralDeath, just logout :) [12:44] hi there... i recently switched from compiz to metacity as a wm (ubuntu 9.10) and now when i play videos, they just show up as a black square. any hints? [12:44] Dr_Willis, moo !!! === cece is now known as semo [12:44] geekphreak: Muu! [12:45] ok now I am trying to log in and it is telling me incorrect login [12:45] AdmiralDeath, again? [12:46] lol [12:46] so it would appear I cannot log into the command line interface [12:46] what name are you choosing? [12:46] inman [12:46] Or you are typing the name/pass wrong [12:46] hey [12:47] AdmiralDeath, you know the drill, press alt+f2 >> users-admin [12:47] too late [12:47] got it [12:47] it does not like the numpad [12:47] AdmiralDeath, about time ;) [12:47] everytime i try this command ..echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [12:47] bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied [12:47] how come [12:48] Brc , supposedly needs sudo for that [12:48] Evolution problem: Contact data entered under 'work phone' is saved under 'fax home'. Data under 'fax home' is saved as 'home phone'. Data under 'home phone' is saved correctly. This error is also shown in list view of contacts. The column 'work phone' displays and sorts according to 'fax home' data. What kind of error is this? [12:48] i tried sudo... [12:48] sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [12:48] bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied [12:49] can you do ls -l on that file BRc [12:49] u want me to paste it [12:50] i think AdmiralDeath likes the command line [12:50] g0r3_0f_g0d, u want me to paste that [12:50] Brc , do this , sudo su - [12:51] I installed ubuntu on a system and it works fine but it does not boot if I insert the pci wifi nothing happens after xsplash [12:51] not really [12:51] err.. 'sudo -i' will work in stead of 'sudo su -' [12:51] Brc , echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches [12:51] I would prefer to use the GUI but it is not getting the job done [12:51] then exit [12:51] :) [12:51] uff [12:51] the issue is the file is rw only for root:root [12:52] xp boots fine on the same system [12:52] wondering what the actual drop_caches control does [12:53] g0r3_0f_g0d, thanks very much [12:54] i have 2 wirless devices. one should connect with internet network, another should connect to local wireless intranet. how troubleshoot this problem? is any how to in the the web? [12:54] ubuntu-usr, this is just routing setup, default route should point to the internet wireless router and the rest of the intranet subnet to the intranet router as a gateway [12:55] ubuntu-usr: theres dozens of 'wireles guides' on the web and in many disrto wiki pages/forums. it depends on the exact issue you are having and what you want to do with it. [12:56] ok [12:56] Dr_Willis, should you give an example of any wiki for my case? [12:56] I installed the Nvidia driver from their website [12:56] lets see if that works [12:56] Dr_Willis, sorry colud you i mean [12:56] is ubuntu better then windows?? [12:56] LOL BRc [12:56] ubuntu-usr: i found the archlinux wiki pages to have some very good core information on setting up wireless cards.. but it depends on your exact needs and the exact issue. [12:56] what a silly question..offcourse it is....lol [12:56] Anyone here know much about jack audio? Much appreciated if you could meet me over #jack to help me.

[12:57] how can i run a chkdsk on linux? i have a 8TB RAID5 that is in NTFS format and i need to run chkdsk before i can expand it. [12:57] Dr_Willis: thanks [12:58] menghan: i would have to suggest using a windows machine to check a 8tb windows raid.. [12:58] Because I bet you dont have any backups if the linux box messed it up. [12:58] azlon, just my thinking, if it is ntfs , use something like a windows cd/dvd to run a chkdsk or windows system [12:58] Dr_Willis, I think that might've been aimed at azlon [12:58] azlon, fsck does the job partially , so like fsck -t ntfs /dev/somepartition [12:58] proberly :) heh [12:59] if you have ntfs progs installed [12:59] But, yeah, I'd not go anywhere near NTFS with anything but WIndows if I could help it [12:59] Dr_Willis: what do you mean? [12:59] fscking ntfs - isent really.. the same. :) [12:59] menghan: i see nicks scrill by too fast. it was for azlon [12:59] yah but better as nothing [12:59] geekphreak: but this is a fake raid so if i boot from a XP cd/dvd then it wont see it, will it? [12:59] Dr_Willis: :D [12:59] the best is to fdisk , reformat , mkfs.ntfs :P [13:00] azlon: You made a 8tb ntfs raid under linux? [13:00] can you actually make ntfs software raid volumes ? [13:00] i wonder why you would want it.. if theres no windows on the box to read it.. [13:01] true [13:01] so im totally confiused. :) [13:01] 8tb?? got any spare??? [13:01] g0r3_0f_g0d: i tried running fsck -t ntfs and it gave me, "fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found"... how can i install it (apt-get install fsck.ntfs didnt work) [13:01] I dident think there even was a fsck.ntfs [13:02] sudo apt-get ntfs-progs it would be rather [13:02] !find fsck.ntfs [13:02] Package/file fsck.ntfs does not exist in karmic [13:02] Dr_Willis: yes, i know it was stupid now that i look back, but his was several years ago when i was still just getting into linux... now i have grown myself into a corner [13:02] Dr_Willis: I need help. I don't known which prog has bug [13:02] You have had a 8TB setup for several years? [13:02] sudo apt-get ntfs-3g actually [13:03] sudo apt-get ntfs-config [13:03] g0r3_0f_g0d: ya may want an 'install' in there :) [13:03] small detail [13:03] don't be picky :P [13:03] Dr_Willis: no, i started with 4TB, then kept growing it 1TB at a time. i originally had 2 TB on a Vista machine, but then decided to try linux... anyway... now i am sharing 6TB of media with the rest of the systems in my house (windows 7) [13:04] Im still not 100% sure you can do a 'proper' ntfs filesystem check with the ntfs tools.. it can flag the volume as clean. but thats not really checking anything. [13:04] i wont recommend it [13:04] Dr_Willis: I mean, I have a problem, but it involves both vim and gnome-terminal === Yum is now known as Yum|--- [13:04] true , the progs are really for mounting [13:04] azlon: i have several TB. but i dont merge them into a single raid. :0 [13:04] menghan: state the actual problem and let the channel help out/decide what the issue is [13:05] it involves vim and gnome-terminal , sounds kinky :) [13:05] Dr_Willis: why not? i thought a raid would be better since it provides some safety for drive failures [13:05] azlon: depends on what sort of raid you are using. [13:05] I am reading a documentation on how to instal skype and it says that people who have amd64 can't use skype repositries to instal skype through package management. Why is that?

I'd use windows to handle large/important ntfs data [13:10] azlon: whats the issue? [13:10] ZykticK9 : No, but there is an official skype repository. I was just curious why it said that in case you have amd64 it wont work? [13:11] hateball: i would love to, but this is a 8TB fake-raid... will windows see the raid? [13:11] hateball: i just grew my 6TB RAID-5 to 8TB. now when i try to extend the fs to the full 8TB it tells me i need to run chkdsk /f in windows [13:11] azlon: fake-raid as in lvm raid or bios fake raid ? [13:12] gilligan_: mdadm [13:12] azlon: why on earth do you use ntfs for it ? [13:12] azlon, there is one more thing you can do [13:12] uh oh, im afraid to ask [13:12] azlon, there are some boot disk for windows which can read ntfs and have checkdsk option, you can try those :) [13:13] geekphreak: i though about that, but will they recognize the RAID? [13:13] i thought only linux would recognize the fake-raid [13:14] azlon , this is not really ubuntu problem now , chkdsk /f will only really fix stuff under windows [13:14] the fsck version can only mark certain things wrong not fix them [13:14] azlon, they should, i am not 100% sure though [13:14] i have other windows machines, can i run chkdsk over a network?

[13:18] geekphreak, it happens only when i try to install ubuntu... i have tested with centos boot disk and it doesnt flickers [13:19] Dr_Willis, on normal cd there is an option to work with lower graphic during install right? [13:19] azlon , the thing is called ntfsfix , it is a part of ntfsprogs [13:19] hello [13:20] azlon , i'd suppose you just sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb or something [13:20] sdXX to be acurate [13:20] or if anyone can confirm IdleOne [13:20] the link to the manual : http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html [13:21] i'd not really get my hopes up [13:21] what does the file command do and can someone run it for me on a small image? [13:21] my video controller has only DVI output [13:21] Superbest, "file" in a terminal will tell you what type of file it is [13:22] ZykoticK9, even if the extension is wrong? [13:22] Superbest, yeah , it does analyze the file [13:22] Superbest, linux doesn't care about file extensions - reiles on output of file instead [13:23] ok, I don't have linux installed right now and I need to run it on an image file [13:23] Superbest, i'd imagine it's on the LiveCD [13:23] Superbest, elaborate on that concept , if you already know it's an image why try to discover it's an image [13:25] g0r3_0f_g0d, it was output by the mac's screenshot command thing, so it's an image. I don't know how to open it on another system tho [13:25] Oh, an image as in a picture? [13:25] right , clicking open in thing like photoshop , regardless of extension will try to discover the image type [13:25] OSX has file doesn't it? [13:25] to find out what image format it is? [13:26] in windows if the extension is not registered you can manually force it to use paint or stuff [13:26] and screenshots of macosx are usually .png type afaik [13:26] ok, let me do some math here... i have an 8TB raid where I am only using 6TBs... that means 1 for redundancy... 5TBs, i can shrink the volume down to 6TB again, take out the extra 2, copy 2 TB of data to the drives, then shink it again and keep doing that until i have all the drives seperated and running normal... then start building the raid back up 2 drives at a time, but this time with an etx fs [13:26] hello everybody... [13:27] my only question is can windows easily access etx fs? i need all of my other machines in the house to be able to access the media on this raid [13:27] azlon , another dead end tunnel windows don't like ext2|3|4fs [13:27] azlon: make it aviable via samba [13:27] azlon, ext2/3 probably, ext4 no [13:27] azlon, are all the machines accessing it through scsi/ide/sata?

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. [13:28] if it's over the network, it doesn't matter what the filesystem on the disk is, 'cause the other machines aren';t interested in that [13:28] g0r3_0f_g0d, BigRedS_, I tried opening in photoshop and paint tho, didn'T work [13:28] can it be that the file is simply scrambled [13:28] but the best is really to run a file agains it [13:28] you're right [13:28] azlon, If they are (i.e. you're unplugging the disks, going over to the other machine, plugging them in), you're doing it wrong and should be using something like samba or nfs [13:29] hihh [13:29] BigRedS_: not necessarily [13:30] but in this case probably, agreed [13:30] linx|, in general, then [13:30] g0r3_0f_g0d, also possible [13:31] Yo yo yo [13:31] just to see what sort of crap is it really Superbest , can be packed or something [13:31] sorry, went to the bathroom [13:31] or summa totally different [13:31] g0r3_0f_g0d, packed? [13:31] not even an image like [13:31] BigRedS_: all the machines access this ubuntu machine through the network... im not sure if i answered your question correctly [13:32] i dunno really , you tell me what sort of thing is it , how did you get it and what do you expect it to be , Superbest [13:32] azlon, you're really sorry that someone addressed you while you were discharging or evacuating human waste? [13:32] if photoshop fails with it's huge library of compatible image formats then i dunno of any better choice [13:32] is their a way i could unlock my Huwaei modem in linux? [13:33] Yahweh: there were 5 people that addressed me... i feel if i'm looking for help i should stick around for a reply [13:33] Yaweh: might have had a bath too ;) [13:34] Superbest, you on mac right? [13:34] G0r3_0f_g0d: could use imagemagick to convert the images [13:35] Superbest, what file command does it runs through the file header and try to compare to the default signatures [13:35] Superbest, normally even if the extension is wrong it will try to tell you the file type [13:35] if you're on a a mac the file command is available there too [13:35] geekphreak, no. A mac created the file, but I don't have access to a mac right now [13:36] yes it is [13:36] before starting my ubuntu it was giving me some msg like "broken file;can not be wirte";i was trying to delete some thing from my home folder but i cant,i got a crash prog??what happened?i m a new user and using lucid; can anyone please help me?

[15:18] sky === yoann85_ is now known as arkanoide [15:18] ikonia, do you know how to solve flash player for amd64? :) [15:18] I wanted to ask .. how to optimize compiz? [15:18] in what way solve it ? [15:18] isolat3dsh33p, I was under the impression the version in the repos was now fixed? It's what I'm using (not right now, at home) with no issues [15:18] Chorupkata: you don't need to optimise it, just use the correct/best supported graphics drivers [15:18] flash player for x64 ..sux! [15:19] Er, the Lucid package, though [15:19] Chorupkata: it is mixed results for different people [15:19] Chorupkata: the amd64 package is working much better [15:19] ikonia, my graphic driver is loaded.. and still some windows take too much time to get focus.. [15:19] Chorupkata: but maybe you mean the amd64-32bit-wrapper called flashplugin-nonfree === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever [15:19] Chorupkata: what video card are you using ?

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [15:20] BigRedS_, sorry. I forgot to tell that I'm using 10.04. [15:21] ikonia, sorry my card was .. ati my other laptop was nvidia.. [15:21] Yeah, that's what I've got, and I'm fairly sure it's still flashplugin-nonfree. But I can't check, 'cause I'm ~15 miles from it at the minute... [15:21] How do I mount an external HD, When I ' sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Maxtor/ ' It mounts the my main drive that linux is on [15:21] It's a laptop card... [15:21] isolat3dsh33p: you sure it is even possible to solve the issue? I remember something about adobe being very unwilling/slow to release a 64-bit flash plugin for linux for quite some time. Dunno if thats changed tho [15:21] Chorupkata: the ati drivers are famously bad, as are the ati cards, you problem may be that simple [15:22] ScoobyDoo: you have to use the correct /dev/sdxx node [15:22] ikonia, changing my video card is not a option :) [15:22] erUSUL: How do I find out which one it is (mount) It isn't sda1 [15:22] Chorupkata: I appreciate that, but that is most probably the root of your issues (without more detailed investigation) [15:22] I've got an Asus UX50V with a Nvidia G105M adapter that's listed as supported by Nvidia, but not getting detected: (EE) No devices detected. [15:23] ScoobyDoo: when you plug the disk in do « dmesg | tail » [15:23] Works with plain nv driver, it seems, but I'd like 3D. [15:23] ikonia, may be... i try many options.. and settings to speed up .. [15:23] The main problem is when i try to call thunderbird .. . [15:23] I take 2/3 sec to focus the window. [15:23] I'm helping my girlfriend run Linux (her own idea) so any help would be appreciated. ;) [15:23] ytest [15:23] WOOOW, my cpu is at 70% but not blowing a lot of air, and when its at 30% and a flash video plays, it blows air :S [15:23] And many other windows .. take to much time.. to focus. [15:23] erUSUL: appears to be sda2 [15:23] mgj, I'm sure there a way to solve it. I solved it in my previous install which I accidentally deleted. I just forgot how to. I remember about some beta release for Adobe Flash 10 for amd64. But can't seem to find it. :( [15:24] In Animations Focus/etc are set to 50ms [15:24] Chorupkata: as I explaine it may just be a limiation of your card/driver combo [15:24] erUSUL: Says I need to spefy a filesystem type to mount it [15:25] Is it possible to make a specific script file run automatically when I double click it, rather than giving them the option to run it or display it [15:25] ScoobyDoo: i dounb is in the same disk trhe system is in ? maybe is sdb ? [15:25] morning [15:25] ikonia, may be.. just searching for some solution.. anyway.. [15:25] isolat3dsh33p: ah okay. Good luck then [15:26] mgj, haha.

[17:30] rocket16, am i missing a pgp key or something [17:30] help please [17:30] but file system may be windows] [17:30] bigga: Might be, but the thing is, do you have Multiverse enabled? [17:30] !sourceslist [17:31] This may be a dumb question, but one I want to try my luck at anyway. I installed the Ambiance theme on my 9.10 machine via PPA. I edited it and zipped it to a tar.gz. Is it normal for me to have problems with it since technically it wasn't "installed" on the 9.10 machine? OR should dropping the tar.gz on the Appearance window be enough to technically install it? [17:31] bigga: Open Software Sources from System menu, and check all available options [17:31] $ fgrep -i multi sources.list | wc -l [17:31] 9 [17:31] Roasted_, dropping it in should install it [17:31] moreia thanks a lot, good idea with RSS! [17:31] Roasted_: I think no problem will be there, [17:31] Roasted_, did you get the ambiance fixed theme or the regular one with the buttons on the left? [17:31] HI there. Can someone tell me how use three monitors in Ubuntu? TwinView only supports two (obviously) but I want to use all my three screens at the same time. I have 2 Nvidia cards and 3 monitors.. Is this possible? === blackbart is now known as Guest59016 [17:32] and what do you know [17:32] no multiverse in synaptic [17:32] coz_, the one with the buttons on the left. I prefer the left-adjusted theme much more than right now that I'm used to it. The only thing is, that theme was originally installed via PPA... so I was wondering if there was a difference there between dropping tar.gz I modified or using the straight PPA [17:32] why'd that happen [17:33] Roasted_, ok and did it indeed install? [17:33] bigga: No problem, just select the boxes in Software Sources, it'll work, [17:33] so two people offer to help but not helping me ...hmmmm [17:33] Is it possible to create ext4 partition on 8.04LTS or I need to wait for 10.04 LTS ? [17:33] bigga, in synaptic hit Settings /Repositories [17:33] bigga, in the first tab "Ubuntu Software" tick all 5 boxes and multivers is one of them [17:34] dacs: Sorry, but the answer is not known to me. [17:34] rocket16, they are all ticked [17:34] coz_, well, I did get an error message about something... ubuntu-mono-dark isnt installed, or some garbage. This was a FRESH install of 9.10. Updating it now. [17:34] bigga, if they are all ticked then you have multivers [17:34] and source code [17:34] hi [17:34] bigga: Oh nice, in terminal type "sudo apt-get update" [17:34] then... why the JOOZ ARE NOT AUTHENTICATED messages [17:35] doxy2, welcome [17:35] anybody triable with file coping with usb [17:35] i'm running 9.10, can anyone here explain me why i2c-core module isn't available? [17:35] duleep: Use the terminal, with cp command, [17:35] HI there. Can someone tell me how use three monitors in Ubuntu? TwinView only supports two (obviously) but I want to use all my three screens at the same time. I have 2 Nvidia cards and 3 monitors.. Is this possible? [17:35] lunchtime be back in a bit [17:35] for either kernel( kernel 2.6.31-{14,20} ) [17:36] i'll now try that [17:36] bigga: I suppose, it will work. [17:36] when I go to install xubuntu-desktop, it says it's going to remove ubuntu-desktop. Is this okay to do? [17:36] cant even remember what i wanted to install now [17:36] odie5533: Yes :) [17:37] odie5533: I don't think so, because both DEs can exist simultaneously [17:37] eax: Will I still get all the right packages for ubuntu when I update? [17:37] odie5533: I would think so yes :) But better to leave it be installed I think! [17:37] since I think ubuntu-desktop is used to coordinate the ubuntu updates [17:38] how do I upgrade python from 2.5 to 2.6 from the console? [17:38] odie5533: If you want xfce as you default with no other options then yes, that is fine. However it is possible for both to coexist [17:38] caution: karmic has 2.6 by default. [17:38] how do I do it in 8.10? [17:38] crucialhoax: When I mark xubuntu-desktop for install, it won't let me unmark ubuntu-desktop for uninstall. [17:38] caution: Just use "sudo apt-get install python2.6" [17:39] Hey guize, my friend wants to know if there is a way to determine when a file was deleted in linux. Is it possible?

Thank you rocket16 [17:48] anyone ever use UEC? [17:48] rocket16: but then the program will start at login, but it won't start from the point where it stopped; i think i'll just save the state of the program manually [17:48] crucialhoax: My pleasure to do a little help, friend, :) [17:48] watch -n 30 only runs the command (albeit correctl) [17:48] otswim: Yes, sorry, I don't know about the process in KDE, :( [17:48] watch -n 30 only runs the command (albeit correctly) once.

In a terminal type `sudo apt-get -d network-manager network-manager-gnome` [18:01] haavaros: default every 2 seconds [18:02] cc4: The page that you linked is very outdated. It describes a module that is already part of the kernel distribution. If you're using Ubuntu then you already have it available, you do not need to compile anything. use: sudo modprobe joystick to insert the module. [18:02] crucialhoax: this is what I'm getting: [18:02] E: Invalid operation network-manager [18:02] Pici: Yes, the timer changes [18:02] haavaros: Then the command is being re-executed.

(i mean, with a customized shell, not like GNOME, or KDE, or nothing like that) [18:14] guntbert, np ? [18:14] I found that 0 A.D is available for download, in Synaptic. Is it playable? [18:14] it is still there [18:15] Beyecixramd: lxde + ubuntu is pretty sweet, or the netbook remix [18:15] rocket16: tias ---> try it and see [18:15] how we can remove or delete or uninstall eclipse [18:15] erUSUL: Sure, I am downloading it, [18:15] ActionParsnip: LXDE is "nothing like that" XD, it's a "standard" desktop enviroment [18:15] Shane2: just delete the item from the menu using alacarte and forget it :) [18:15] ActionParsnip: but i'm so willing to try the lucid netbook remix [18:16] Beyecixramd: go get it then, support and discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [18:16] :'( === Artopal_ is now known as Artopal [18:16] Beyecixramd: btw, unr is a standard desktop, its on millions of netbooks ;) [18:17] ActionParsnip: but... Moblin is optimized for netbooks (Atom) will UNR run as fast as Moblin? can i do something to "improve" it? [18:17] Beyecixramd: I think, waiting a little bit will help, because Lucid is not yet stably released. [18:17] ActionParsnip: for me, standard desktop = file menu + file manager + desktop + dock/whatever [18:17] Beyecixramd: there's also the UI that ships with OLPCs which is netbook shaped [18:17] Does anybody here use 2clickupdate? [18:18] Beyecixramd: the netbook remix is all that, just mixed up a bit. It still uses nautilis like ubuntu (assuming you go for thr non-kde remix) [18:19] ActionParsnip: i know about that, but as you said, it's *customized* for small displays, which is cool :) [18:19] the netbook remix is terrible. If you want something light an efficient either use Lubuntu or Moblin. [18:20] Or, OpenSuse is also nice for Netbooks, [18:20] beyecixramd: totally. The wm is optomised to maximise screen realestate [18:20] Yes. One of the better ones, rocket16 [18:20] crucialhoax: Yes, :D [18:20] +1 for moblin, unr has a min spec of 1gb ram [18:21] eclipse is still running [18:21] The original moblin is rhel base, however, there is an ubuntu-moblin. === pjcrux is now known as pjcrux|away [18:21] crucialhoax: Moblin IS terrible, is not configurable at all, just tried it, it sucks, for god's sake... [18:21] Anyone know how could I expand a partition from right lo left? [18:21] crucialhoax: not a big deal, the Moblin interface sucks, as i said [18:22] rocket16: OPENWHUT? that's a monster, eats RAM for breakfast [18:22] Beyecixramd: Point taken, I actually forgot about that, oops. But take a look at Lubuntu, [18:22] !ot | Beyecixramd [18:22] Beyecixramd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:22] Beyecixramd: Lol, not always, OpenSuse is said to be the best Laptop and Netbook Linux, beside Ubuntu. [18:22] Beyecixramd: lxde can have a netbook like interface, very fast [18:23] Or use the netbook remix and install the ubuntu-desktop package. [18:23] CentOS [18:23] I agree with ActionParsnip, LXDE is very fast, even a lot faster than XFCE, and nearly equal to ICEWM [18:23] I'd also shoot for puppy but it has a regular desktop feel which is not require by the user [18:23] i know about LXDE, it's awesome [18:24] Anyone know how could I resize a partition in Gparted from right to left? [18:24] Beyecixramd: Also, give a shot to DSL (Damn Small Linux) [18:24] Beyecixramd: Have you taken a look at Slax? [18:24] anyone recomend a piece of software to make flow charts for linux ? [18:24] rocket16: know about DSL... not a big deal on nettops imho [18:24] Jeery, OpenOffice? [18:24] Hithere: you'll need to do it in a livecd environment [18:25] crucialhoax: yes, don't like it [18:25] open office presentation, Jeery ? [18:25] let me check into oiffce didnt realize it could [18:25] jerry_: Use KPlato [18:25] Hithere: make sure your backups are recent in case of catastrophe [18:25] Beyecixramd: What are the requirements you are shooting for? [18:25] ActionParsnip, I tried to do it in the LiveCd [18:25] buuuuuut [18:25] crucialhoax: rocket16: Beyecixramd: please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:25] ... [18:25] I will show you [18:25] wait [18:25] HiThere: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:25] gunbert: No offense, I am out of the discussion. [18:25] Jerry_: tuxpaint ;) [18:26] jerry_: Use Kplato, it is nice, [18:26] thanks [18:26] ActionParsnip: http://i41.tinypic.com/23w1fo2.png [18:26] how to expand SDA5 to the left? [18:26] xD [18:26] What config files do the system themes use? I would like to change the Ambiance theme colors. [18:27] I didn't think you could resize the starting area of a partition :\ [18:27] Hi folks, on 9.10 here and when I launch kmail or kontact I get segmentation faults. The debugging info is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/419947/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/419945/. Launching them in the terminal gives the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/419949/. Any assistance to get these programs working would be greatly appreciated. [18:27] my load is always above 1. Is that bad? [18:27] ActionParsnip, are you here? [18:27] HiThere: move it to the left, then increase it's size [18:27] odie5533: open terminal -> run 'top' and see what is running the most [18:27] odie5533: depending what is running and how much cores you have [18:28] Hithere: unmount it if its mounted then maybe right click the partition to see what is offered. I've never resized partitions as I plan them out [18:28] im reading open office draw can do it but i dont have draw i only have presentation spreadsheet calculator and writer yet apt-get doesnt show a openoffice-draw am i missing soemthingt [18:28] crucialhoax: is there is a way you can paste for me your /etc/apt/apt.conf please [18:28] Urda: 1.85 [18:28] Hithere: have patience, I'm typing on a G1 phone, jeez [18:28] iceroot: I'm running gnome, a terminal, and the top command. [18:28] odie5533: OK, it should have a process list moving arround, are one or more processes hanging on always near the top [18:28] !info openoffice.org_draw [18:28] Package openoffice.org_draw does not exist in karmic [18:28] Bah [18:28] interesting [18:28] dacs: I have no such file. [18:28] Urda: Xorg [18:29] Anyone has resized this any time? [18:29] http://i41.tinypic.com/23w1fo2.png [18:29] I think, the Draw package needs to be built externally [18:29] what?! [18:29] Jerry_: apt-cache search openoffice | grep draw [18:29] how do i mount a network drive? [18:29] HiThere: and as ActionParsnip said: make sure it is unmounted (so do it from a live CD) [18:29] g0aliath: Places>connect to Server is one way [18:29] how [18:29] dacs: The file you are suggesting, I do not have. [18:29] G0aliath: how is the folder being shared? [18:29] Well HiThere and ActionParsnip I *don't* think you can resize a partition in the start, I thought it had to be at the end since fstab looks for that information [18:29] guntbert, Im running in a live cd [18:29] and partitions are unmounted [18:29] erUSUL: thanks for the info [18:30] HiThere: then try as I suggested [18:30] HiThere: ActionParsnip you can resize it at the end, but not at the start of a partition :\ It has been a while size I did a resize but I think that is the case [18:30] crimsun: are you here? can you help me with alsa? [18:30] you don't have '/etc/apt/apt.conf [18:30] G0aliath: you can use /etc/fstab to mount stuff at boot [18:30] odie5533: OK, but is anything using a lot of CPU or memory in your list? [18:30] well, so.. If there is any way to... resize from the start... [18:30] what could I do? [18:30] dacs: No. [18:30] odie5533: PU and %MEM [18:31] odie5533: PU sorry [18:31] HiThere: what is the problem now? can you move it to the left? [18:31] odie5533: ARGH (%)CPU without the parenthesis [18:31] I cant [18:31] :( [18:31] I didn't think you could add size *before* the start of a parition [18:31] HiThere: unfortunetly ext* paritions can not move his starting point. but you can move paritions with gparted; can't you ? [18:31] Urda: Not really. The load is now down to 0.28 though. [18:32] I can, but... If i cant move his starting point [18:32] odie5533: Did you just start up? Mine is about 1 on startup [18:32] SDA5 cant increase [18:32] can anyone help me with ALSA? aplay -L finds no sound cards, but i DO have a soundcard [18:32] Geany is a great choice for Linux development, but is there support for more programmes? Or, is there a way to have Auto-Indent in Gedit? [18:32] Urda: Yes, I just booted and logged in. [18:32] Urda: What is a good average for say, 5 minutes after booting? [18:32] odie5533: OK, no worries. System load can be a little above average for a few minutes [18:32] after a bootup [18:32] HiThere: ah - I see - you will have to move /dev/sda4 -- I suppose it will take sda5 with it [18:33] HiThere: can you remove that fat32 partition beforehand? [18:33] I can, Urda [18:33] <_Trullo> anyone got a sfv for the ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso ? [18:33] <_Trullo> burned 2 copies but get error when installing [18:34] HiThere: Well I would just clear it out, and try to move the partition. Although your /etc/fstab might complain. Any reason why you couldn't just wipe the drive and do a clean install? [18:34] uhm... [18:34] no, there is not any important reason [18:34] I will do a backup of home [18:34] and... [18:34] ains... [18:35] it will be a hell... [18:35] Yo yo yo [18:36] ohhhh wt@#$... when X is running: no sound; exit X, sound comes back === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:36] can anyone help me troubleshoot ALSA *under X*? [18:37] Lzrdking: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf $HOME/.pulse* ,then press alt+f2 and type: pulseaudio [18:37] ActionParsnip: i'm not running pulseaudio, its just ALSA (also not running gnome) === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [18:38] Lzrdking: I see, that's all I got dude, sorry [18:38] nice advice :D [18:38] Lzrdking: make sure alsa is selcted as all the outputs in sound config [18:39] ActionParsnip: where is sound config? [18:39] LzrdKing, ActionParsnip gave you a possible solution, due to ubuntu is booting too fast ..? [18:39] Lzrdking: preferences maybe. [18:39] LzrdKing: I think it is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [18:39] !sound [18:39] 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 [18:40] ALSA probably has a bug, because it crashes many a times, [18:40] * Pici plays around with processing.js [18:40] well, i'm running openbox, there is nothing to "double-click on" [18:40] * rocket16 likes PulseAudio [18:40] I've never had a sound issue before so I'm not much help here, maybe others can contribute [18:40] Alguém aí usa xubuntu?

[18:55] !echo [18:55] Unlike the ubuntu-installation an ubuntu dist-upgrade often asks me certain questions during the upgrade process and thus forces me to interact steadily.

[19:10] what I'm specifically hoping for is a GUI to help configure battery charging... anyone know about anything like that? === derp is now known as ^______________^ [19:11] how can i upgrade my ubuntu 5.04 or the hoary hedge? [19:11] anyone [19:11] ???? [19:11] please?

It'll be waaay faster, and stop spamming === ^______________^ is now known as derp [19:12] anyone can help me,, what aplicatn for ym n linux [19:12] X-man: try gyache or pidgin [19:12] how much? [19:12] x-man: Use either pidgin or empathy. [19:12] !pidgin | x-man [19:12] x-man: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [19:12] i mean does it have a payment/ [19:12] ? [19:13] user_: that version is so old, it would be a lot faster to just make backups of your data and do a fresh install [19:13] but pidgin or ghyach save our password,, its nt save for me [19:13] !kopete | x-man [19:13] x-man: Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, YIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and, in KDE 3, IRC.

Then (I would recommend you wait until 10.04 is released in about a week) you can grab the .iso for 10.04 from ubuntu.com, burn it to a disk, boot from the disk, and follow the on-screen instructions [19:15] the problem is with gnome task bar and not the process even the X chat just goes down and doesnt show in task br [19:15] but limited feature [19:15] anyone here able to talk to power management (specifically battery management)? I have questions about setting charging thresholds for my new li-ion battery. [19:15] gbear14275: you should just ask the question [19:15] can i restart the gnome panels [19:16] x-man: shutdown -r now select win [19:16] thevishy: sudo restart gdm [19:16] hi. this weekend I have to reinstall a PC for a friend. Time to ditch windows and its 2 AV and its firewall etc... The thing is, he'll be going back to poland on monday and I can't help him anymore then. He has no clue really about computers. Could I install him the LTS? (timing is stupid..) Or karmic? What about polish support? [19:16] thevishy: That will restart the gnome session. [19:16] Stego_: shutdown needs sudo ;) [19:16] jrib: are there any gui's available to help set charging profiles for my battery? If not, how can I set my charging profiles? [19:16] ActionParsnip: lol thx [19:16] gbear14275: I don't know, I meant ask the channel [19:16] by the way another thing is...whats the use of the drive? [19:16] has tmpwatch been converted over to tmpreaper? [19:17] jrib: not having much luck [19:17] is tmpwatch still a valid package for 9.10 [19:18] frikinz: LTS is pretty stable at this point, but something could always crop up. If you'll be seeing him again within the year, the safe bet is to just go with 9.10 and then help him upgrade later [19:18] hermdog: look at packages.ubuntu.com === animAgus is now known as _silentAssassin [19:19] hey font geeks, is there copperplate gothic available for ubuntu or an equiv? [19:19] frikinz: as for polish support, #ubuntu-pl could probably help you more but it's just a matter of installing the language support for polish and then selecting polish as the default language for his user [19:19] durt: is it a ttf font? [19:19] Durt: I believe fonts are standardised so you can download a font file and use this guide [19:19] !font > durt [19:19] durt, please see my private message [19:20] Trying to configure my ubuntu server to use https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=hardy . Apt doesn't seem to see the packages in the ppa. bash log at http://pastebin.com/iygn47cz [19:21] jrib, you're right, I'll stay on the safe side. I guess language is now well supported for linux in general, even for "less common" ones. Thanks. I'll download now the cd or dvd and this weekend will switch to polish. I don't know one word of polish and he only knows polish :) [19:21] gnu/linux [19:21] I've got one of those dual-graphics laptops and I suspect the Nvidia G 105M won't work unless I disable the Intel graphics first. From what I hear, this is poorly supported under Linux. I have been trying to get the card to work with xorg since yesterday. All the usual tricks are not working. I'm using the latest driver from Nvidia and the card is listed as supported. I think it's the Intel card interfering. It doesn't look like it's possible to switc [19:21] where the heck is crimsun? he got me into this! [19:22] frikinz: I haven't changed the language in a while, but in the past you could add language support in the admin menu and then choose the language at the gdm login screen by clicking on optoins [19:22] Hi, I've got two ubuntu boxes connected by a crossover cable. I can ssh into my 2nd box OK, but when Y try to scp a file I get: Permission denied (publickey,password). Why is this happening? [19:22] The /dev/nvidia0 device is present but running nvidia-xconfig -a spits out errors in dmesg about not being able to copy vbios to system memory. === hakmn is now known as newnickName [19:23] are there any gui's available to help set charging profiles for my battery? If not, is there a best practice for setting charging profiles? I'm looking at this one but seems specific to thinkpads: www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi [19:23] kriel: what's the issue? [19:23] can anyone help a poor guy out? [19:23] !helpme | LzrdKing [19:23] LzrdKing: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude === newnickName is now known as hakmn [19:23] I can normally get these cards to work without asking around like this so I'm really in a tight spot now [19:23] jrib: i'm looking for the package 'mapserver' from the ppa. apt-cache search doesn't show it. [19:24] kriel: What architecture are you on? [19:24] when X is running (nvidia drivers), aplay -L returns nothing, aplay -l returns "aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found..." and alsamixer returns "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory". immediately when i kill X, alsamixer opens, aplay -l shows two STAC92xx devices (digital and analog) and aplay -L shows 7 analog devices, 1 digital device and null. oh and sound doesn't work under X. How do i get so [19:24] kriel: why? That's a source package. It builds other packages. For example, try: apt-cache policy mapserver-bin [19:24] hi there...does anyone know where I can re-download the Ubuntu default mouse theme? [19:25] Pici: uname -a: Linux mapsrv 2.6.24-27-server #1 SMP Fri Mar 12 01:23:09 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [19:25] LzrdKing: your problem is in alsa right ? [19:25] jrib: I'll admit I don't have the best understanding of the packaging system. Is this working as expected? [19:26] kriel: yes, take a look at https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa/+packages and click on the "mapserver" package. You'll see the packages that get built from this single source mapserver package [19:26] stego_: it would appear the problem is X [19:26] jrib. ok. I'm now downloading the torrent i686 karmic dvd. Also safer as the internet this weekend might be slow. thanks again. [19:27] Fastest way to check system bit in using linux commands [19:27] ? [19:27] frikinz, check the cd after running it ith the "check cd for errors" options I believe its called or also check the md5sum on the dvd iso [19:27] shane3: check what exactly? [19:27] shane3, i dont understand [19:27] shane3: you mean architecture? uname -m [19:27] ahh [19:27] LzrdKing: cek your user account [19:27] or uname -a for more fun [19:28] stego_: what am i checking for? [19:28] how can i enable a save as pdf option in opneoffice? [19:28] LzrdKing: user group audio [19:28] Goliath: It already enabled. [19:28] Goliath, yes but it is horrible and rubbish dont do it, print it as a pdf instead [19:28] jrib: I think I understand. So, to install 'mapserver' on this machine, I'd just install the built packages? (Assumedly mapserver-bin and possibly cgi-mapserver) [19:28] it will ruin your pdf [19:28] just print it as a pdf [19:28] Goliath: its threre by default [19:29] LzrdKing: bet your user is not part of audio [19:29] use print normal option, to pdf [19:29] kriel: yeah, you'd have to read the descriptions for those packages and see which one does what you want [19:29] stego_: yeah i saw that on line and tried it, it didn't help at all [19:29] Goliath: look for the pdf icon in the top bars [19:29] bigga: what is rubbish? [19:29] Hi guys I need help!! [19:29] I just screwed linus i dun know what to do! [19:29] stego_: the user is in the audio group; would that be affected by starting X? [19:30] Goliath, It makes huge PDF files full of stuff that nobody needs, if you print it as a PDF file its just like a hardcopy [19:30] please help i screwed linus [19:30] which is usually what you want from a PDF [19:30] it dont work [19:30] Dark-Dx: be more specific please [19:30] bigga: so the export option to pdf isnt good? [19:30] LzrdKing: is it X failed or no sound [19:30] yeah dont use it [19:30] its a misfeature unless you know a reason it isnt [19:30] LzrdKing: when X is running (nvidia drivers), aplay -L returns nothing, aplay -l returns "aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found [19:30] screwed linus it dont working, [19:31] it all black [19:31] stego_: X runs fine, just no sound; all the sound utils completely crap out until i stop X [19:31] im sure someone has one or they wouldnt have did it normal people dont use that option [19:31] Dark-Dx: it's "linux", not "linus" [19:31] ok [19:31] coz_, You're right, I use k3b (one of the fest kde app I still run from gnome), I think it's automatic. I'll check. [19:31] calling linux linus is cute [19:31] LzrdKing: the user group have u check it? [19:32] please help it black with sum weird words!! [19:32] frikinz, yeah just check the md5sums and run cd check after burning...the md5sum is run on the actual .iso image though from terminal md5sum nameof.iso [19:32] Goliath, you can make PDF fine from any linux program by going to print and selecting to print to PDF. if it will only print to ps, print to that then use ps2pdf to make it a pdf [19:32] frikinz, then check that with ubuntu hashes [19:32] stego_: yes, i tried that a while ago [19:32] Dark-Dx: for people to help you, you have to be specific (but please keep your message on a single line; use paste.ubuntu.com if you need to paste a lot of information) [19:32] bigga: ok i am good [19:33] run command ---------------->uname -m [19:33] outout -------------------------> i686 [19:33] frikinz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [19:33] what means [19:33] i get sumthing about a disk or something like that [19:33] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with kde 4.3. I want to install kde 4.4. I read that I need to use [19:33] 3rd Party Repository: KDE Backports (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/20). My question is: Is it only for kde 4.4 or later will it have kde 4.5? [19:33] ? [19:33] !alsactl | LzrdKing [19:33] Dark-Dx: "specific" [19:33] whats a disk?

I want to install kde 4.4. I read that I need to use [19:35] 3rd Party Repository: KDE Backports (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/20). My question is: Is it only for kde 4.4 or later will it have kde 4.5? [19:35] bigga, ok cool :) [19:35] Dark-Dx: you say you just installed.. has it started at least once? [19:35] it just installed yeah [19:35] Goliath, why do you want to put the font in the PDF is someone going to edit it? [19:35] gbear14275, look for something called ibam it may be in the repository not sure [19:35] hmm I have a idea [19:36] LzrdKing: recheck the user group if it not audio may be it sound for group [19:36] bigga i mean a book front [19:36] stego_: alasactl: Specify command...

[19:40] Goliath, i dont remember working with PDF heavily i use them as hardcopies of things i need to keep but you can use programs to mark them up with hyperlinks and that may be the one single occassion you could justify using export to PDF [19:40] Dark-Dx: install again and don't forget to install MBR when it asks to do so [19:41] its SO unintuitive though you will cry beg and scream and wish you just printed to ps then converted to pdf [19:41] hi i cant seem to connect my windows machine to my ubuntu machine via ethernet. it refsues to connect it willj ust say eth0 disconeccted.

Also, is there any way to use GNotes from Evolution? Like Kjots in Kontact? [20:44] erUSUL: i think the ppa still has 1.1.42 in it and i need a patch thats newer than 1.1.43.

The thing is, i want that volume control in fluxbox as well [21:08] dekroning: try ssh -Y hostname to get there in the first place [21:08] but XP reboot cant start [21:08] ok i see the orhan's issue , after removing linux partition grub stayed in mbr [21:09] BedMan: ah i see the problem, it's because i have to do it as root ofcourse since root started X via gdm at boot up [21:09] mbr? [21:09] you need to clean mbr [21:09] orhan, you probably hosed xp with grub [21:09] !hi [21:09] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

[21:09] master boot record [21:09] BedMan: thanks for realizing that [21:09] !grub [21:09] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.

[21:10] actually orhan wants to remove it for windows to boot again not reinstate it presumably [21:10] mgj: i I see. Not sure about that. Maybe ask again and wait to see if anyone knows anything. [21:10] well than why is he here [21:10] i thought windows cds had the mbr option [21:10] that is windows question [21:10] :( [21:10] coincidently it was ubuntu that he removed :P [21:11] What is the sound-control widget/application called? The one you can click and then adjust the volume. I want that volume control in fluxbox as well. [21:11] if i disale grub i boot usb [21:11] g0r3_0f_g0d, you have no control over the bootloader when installing windows [21:11] mgj, i think its in notifier which includes sound and wifi etc [21:11] I got a solution to that orhan. May I PM you? [21:12] How can you verify a package is completely installed? [21:12] i'm not windows expert , thought they had somma like fdisk or format stuff [21:12] ok === josh__ is now known as eponym [21:12] zenlunatic, "notifier" ? I have no such application it seems [21:12] BedMan: execute it [21:12] Can anyone tell me how to resize the amount of space allocated to Casper? [21:12] hi does anyone know how i can turn off my lcd when im not using it? [21:12] ello [21:12] I believe it's stored as a partition in a file somewhere on the live USB [21:12] nicky__: push the power button [21:12] i have a corrupt ubuntu installation, how may i repair/fix it without losing my files= [21:12] ? [21:13] linuxguy: i want to leave the computer on idle [21:13] nicky__: power options [21:13] zenlunatic, the wifi applet is called nm-applet if that helps any [21:13] linuxguy: there is no power options here in gnome [21:13] ?

[21:14] zenlunatic, hmm? I need a command / program / applet that i can actually run [21:14] gui77, did you install on one / or seperate partitions [21:14] What is the sound-control widget/application called? The one you can click and then adjust the volume. I want that volume control in fluxbox as well. I found the network manager which is called nm-applet but i have been unable to find the sound applet. [21:15] obscurant1st: Apologies on lag, work has become busy. Did you put for the gateway the IP of wlan0? Also if there is somewhere for nameservers you may want to put entries there which correspond to what your ISP is using, or possibly the IP of the router which is attached to eth0 [21:15] mgj, alsa-mixer? [21:15] makah: YouTube and Google have great videos and guides on basic terminal commands such as that. [21:15] makah, try for i in `ls` ; do cp $i $i.old; done [21:15] zenlunatic, alsa-mixer works, but its not what im looking for [21:15] mgj, alsamixer [21:15] I just upgraded to lucid and I'm getting an "Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual" error when I try to start compiz and nautilus only loads the desktop variation [21:15] zenlunatic, i want that volume applet that comes default with gnome [21:15] ehh [21:15] narselon: #ubuntu+1 for lucid [21:15] default with ubuntu in gnome rather [21:15] makah: you would need to use a script of some sort, bash allows you to use for loops to do that pretty easily [21:16] mgj, im out of suggestions, sorry [21:16] Question: how do i change where the default notification popup appears from applications like pidgin/xchat/ etc in nbr [21:16] hello === ri is now known as Guest85223 [21:17] Klevi: applets dont appear to be moveable in netbook remix [21:17] makah: for file in ; do mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/x/y/'`; done [21:17] i deleted my /etc/slapd directory cause i thought apt-get install slapd would regenerate it [21:17] but it didn't [21:17] My co-worker cannot get sound to work with 9.10 on her vmfusion laptop. Can someone make a suggestion? It has been a while since I've had to fix one of these. [21:17] makah: where x and y are the changes to the filenames... (from and to) [21:17] BedMan, makah: or just use 'rename' , see man rename [21:18] k thx [21:18] Pici: but that's no fun :-) and not automated [21:18] ubottu: tell Guest85223 about sound [21:18] Guest85223, please see my private message [21:18] Klevi: Im running lucid netbook remix on my Dell Mini and the applets are not movable. Not sure about older versions. [21:18] hello [21:18] ?? [21:18] ... well, its the notification. the taskbar is cool where it is, but say when somone msgs me and pidgon is out of focus and it popsup with the msg in the topright.. i want to edit that if possible ( LinuxGuy2009 ) [21:18] !hi gus_ [21:18] BedMan: hello can i ask for some help?? [21:18] !hi | gus_ [21:18] gus_: 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! [21:19] !ask | gus_ [21:19] gus_: 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. :-) [21:19] Why can't I find, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/postgresql-8.4/8.4.3-1~jaunty1 in Synaptic Package Manager? [21:19] Klevi: You can run regular gnome and move the notification applet anywhere on any panel. [21:19] LinuxGuy2009, how may i do that [21:19] gus_: that's the idea :) [21:19] im using virtualbox, i have a 64-bit pc but i can't seem to install windows 7 on virtual box because it declines 64-bit support [21:20] how do i change that? [21:20] gus_: enable vt-x [21:20] ldlework: make sure you have main, universe, restricted, multiverse all added as sources in order to see all packages. [21:20] gus_: or the amd-thing from which i forgot the name [21:20] how do i enable vt-x? [21:20] What is the name of the sound mixer applet? The wifi/network one is called nm-applet, but i cannot find the sound one [21:20] gus_: have a look at the vbox manual [21:20] gus_, you need a procesor that has virtual emulation support for 64 bit os's [21:20] Hmm. I haven't used ubottu. [21:20] Klevi: In regular gnome session you can right click on an applet unlock/lock, and move them. [21:20] if its 32, then it will run fine, gus_ [21:21] ah-ok [21:21] cya all later, [21:21] I have the thread ubottu,...??? [21:21] gus_ : Ithink you have to change something in bios but don´ remember what [21:21] gus_, in order to install 64bit your CPU must support virtualization. Are you using AMD or Intel CPU. [21:21] Guest85223: you know ubottu is just an automated bot right? [21:21] Oh, i have to relog while using regular gnome? [21:21] LinuxGuy2009, Thanks [21:22] hello, is there a way to install some other linux distro from within ubuntu [21:22] gus_: I don't know how to exercise it though. [21:22] LinuxGuy2009 ^ [21:22] ldlework: Your Welcome [21:22] gus_: with vbox for example [21:22] ZykoticK9: its intel, dual core [21:22] and on the real drive [21:22] I have the ubottu thread next to this one . [21:22] geoaxis: with vbox for example [21:22] Klevi: Good? [21:22] gus_: low end core2 can have 64 native but not 64 virtual [21:22] gus_, to verify your cpu support virtualization "grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo" [21:22] geoaxix: dual booting or virtual box [21:22] iceroot: but that would isntall to a virtualized env [21:22] gus_: look at the vbox properties and search for vt-x [21:22] gus_, if you get output - it does [21:22] Enable PAE in vbox? [21:22] geoaxis: yes, also you can use dualboot [21:22] geoaxix: ignore dual booting.. i missed 'from within ubuntu' [21:23] iceroot: i know [21:23] ah ok, do i plug that as a command in the terminal === Guest85223 is now known as xcyclist [21:23] geoaxis: there are no other ways [21:23] LinuxGuy2009, i forgot to tage you in my prev question ( I have to relog in while using regular gnome to get the normal desktop? ) [21:23] gus_, yes [21:23] *tag [21:23] I guess I am xcyclist now. [21:23] ZykoticK9: ok thanks im going to check it out [21:23] iceroot, lets see, if i install ubuntu on lets say a virtual disk [21:23] then make a clone of that disk [21:23] and then recover that disk in real partition [21:24] that might work [21:24] Klevi: Umm not sure what release your on. May be in login screen under session, or you may have to disable the automatic startup of maximus etc to prevent netbook mode. [21:24] !virtualbox | geoaxis [21:24] geoaxis: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [21:24] (clone of the disk with clonezilla) [21:24] gus_: Is it something I can learn about from nickserv or some other help? [21:24] Klevi: In lucid its under session I know that/ [21:25] *nods* how do i upgrade from 9.10 to Lucid? LinuxGuy2009 [21:25] h00k: i know what it is, i am trying to explore an alternate solution to installation, i have this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/416499 [21:25] Klevi: head to #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support [21:25] * Klevi nods [21:25] i cannot see any paritions in the disk (when i boot from ubuntu installer) [21:25] geoaxis, totally confusing now [21:26] i actuall had to clone windows, then install linux and then restore windows to get a dual boot working [21:26] Klevi: Lucid is not released until April 29, support can be found at #ubuntu+1 and you are free to download beta2 and test at ubuntu website. The release candidate is released tommorow I believe. [21:26] got it, yeah my processor doesn't support 64-bit virtualation support [21:26] geoaxis : it is easier if windows are installed first [21:26] thanks for the help guys [21:27] zvacet: read the bug [21:27] cloning linux instead of installing it is weird [21:27] g0r3_0f_g0d: Clonezilla [21:27] how can i regenerate /etc/ldap directory ? [21:27] zvacet: i know, i have been doing the same for 10 years [21:27] just this dam GPT partitions has some special error with my hardware [21:28] doesnt vista/7 make it a gpt when you resize the partition in windows? [21:28] or soemthing... [21:28] This really stinks. There should be simple reference to how to use this stupid ubottu. Come on. [21:29] duffydack: in my installer it makes it a GPT from base install [21:29] geoaxis : that is too much for me I can not help you with that sorry [21:29] ubottu: factoids | xcyclist [21:29] xcyclist: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [21:29] zvacet: let me try virtualbox and clonezilla [21:29] geoaxis : ok [21:30] windows 7 messing stuff up i see [21:31] geoaxis, so your windows install cd is making it gpt? is it something thats come with your pc? [21:31] another question, im playing some media on my computer but it seems like my codec lags with high resolution media playing [21:32] is there a way to adjust vlc to specific hd media playback?? [21:33] This is really useless guys. There should be a simple command set. What is this ubottu thing? [21:33] is there a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal ? [21:33] i don't have a mouse on that machine [21:33] Tapout: only if you create one in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [21:34] alt+f1 accessories , terminal?

I'd think you can check also in the gnome's registry editor, gconf [23:42] Ahren_The_Magus: quite sure it'd have a GUI access though too [23:42] Ahren_The_Magus: the only thing i can think of is maybe if you open a file browser and go to its preferences... there are settings in there for what actions to take on various types of media === adante_ is now known as adante [23:43] I know how to in kubuntu though :P [23:43] Ahren_The_Magus: this page mentions an option to disable autorun: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/autorun.
