[00:00] hmm [00:00] Losha, if your source includes black bars - using clip/zoom can remove them so only the video is encoded [00:00] jaydee, type just 'su -' [00:00] jaydee, and enter the password [00:00] and than make? [00:00] Jordan_U: do you know of any docs that run through that? [00:01] jaydee, did you do that? [00:01] ZykoticK9: is that the only time you might need to clip/zoom, given that VCD and SVCD are pretty much obsolete nowadays? [00:02] delac so can i change username-desktop to just a letter or letter-desktop [00:02] ? [00:02] i have an INTERESTING problem [00:02] same [00:02] majnoon, we all have [00:02] Losha, it's "typically" used for encoding to AVI [00:02] wait [00:02] hehehe: whatever you want :) [00:02] hehehe the hostname is in file /etc/hostname [00:02] jaydee, what do you mean 'same'? [00:02] delac no security issues? :P [00:02] did i forget something? [00:02] i need to push ctrl to left click with my mouse [00:02] not that i know... [00:02] ZykoticK9: ok, moving to offtopic to include Pici [00:02] same error messages [00:02] they could scan my computer name on the network? [00:02] :P [00:03] hehehe: computer name is public anyway [00:03] jaydee, type whoami in the terminal [00:03] what does it say? [00:03] Vigo: if I did consider a netboot, unfortunately my livecd does not contain the install/netboot folder [00:03] delac oh ok i will use a letter.. [00:03] is there a default hotkey for maximize/minimize window? [00:03] i get root [00:03] hal1: There are tutorials for doing similar things but not this exactly. If you post the name of the iso file I can make you a grub.cfg that will work. [00:04] jaydee, good [00:04] now [00:04] should i install something before? [00:04] should i use decryption option? [00:04] jaydee, go to the directory where the source is [00:04] ok [00:04] Jordan_U: thank you - that is nice of you - first, I am going to try to get this netboot to work - I think I have found a way... [00:04] done [00:04] jaydee, what does pwd tell ? [00:04] after noon all [00:04] hehehe: decrypt what? [00:05] hehehe: disks? [00:05] in terminal? [00:05] yes [00:05] delac there is a option ask for password to decrypt home folder [00:05] jaydee, yes [00:05] hehehe: you propably dont need that [00:05] delac to login and decrypt home folder [00:05] ok [00:05] hal1: Do you have a PXE ? [00:06] but there must some kind of advantage when using encryption :P [00:06] be [00:06] Vigo: the laptop - yes [00:06] hehehe: yes, if someone steals your computer and tries to get your data [00:06] hehehe: well, the benefit is it is encrypted ? [00:06] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/gxRuu6mN [00:06] hehehe: but that is unlikely [00:07] jaydee, now type make [00:07] hehehe: and encrypting the disks will be a hassel [00:07] what should I be putting in the tftp server dir from here? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [00:07] hehehe are you paranid one?

[00:11] jaydee, what card are you installing the drivers for? [00:11] hehehe: i am not exactly sure how the disk encryption goes. but the data will be encrypted and noone can read it unless the computer is on and you have logged in [00:11] mom [00:11] :)) [00:11] that would be great Vigo ! :) [00:11] reduz you sure its freezing? mayby only progress bar freezes? i have seen that [00:11] for my notebook [00:11] jaydee, what type of wireless card do you have?

I had to use tty3 to log in. [00:24] is this a bug that is know? [00:24] its frustratung me [00:25] psusi: so are they interchangeable in fstab? or will one work and the other not [00:25] Scunizi: great question. Do both work? [00:25] slackster: known bugs are on the bug tracker [00:25] jaydee, sorry, was joking [00:25] i know [00:25] me too [00:25] nsadmin: ok. I'll have to check.. it's nothing you have heard of before? [00:25] run 'modprobe ath5k' [00:25] and see if the card works [00:25] Losha: don't know yet.. I'm just working out the issues with mounting a share on my samba server running on my machine.. I can mount the share manually but fstab hasn't worked yet [00:26] Scunizi: I know using mount -t cifs works on 8.04, so I'd try that first... [00:26] slackster: the only thing I saw was "is this a bug that is know" [00:26] nothing happend [00:26] no output [00:26] on command [00:26] jaydee, that's how it should be [00:26] Losha: lol.. that's what I did manually but used smbfs on 9.10 kubuntu [00:26] by definition... known bugs are on the bug tracker [00:26] modprobe ath5k [00:26] nsadmin: heh, ok thanks [00:27] jaydee, try connecting with your wireless now [00:27] I don't have to see -anything- else to know that [00:27] Scunizi: I'd be surprised if they didn't keep backward compatibility, but you never know...

I'm trying to get it so when I create something it's universally read/write.. that's my major stumbling block. [00:30] what is the alternative to Vino ? [00:30] hello [00:30] how can i know the mémory of my pc with ubuntu ? [00:31] driver is working!!! [00:31] overlord, free -m [00:31] thks jeff_hann [00:31] jaydee, glad to hear that. is there anything else I cand do for you? [00:31] Losha: any idea how to assign permissions during the mount process? [00:31] Scunizi: is it a umask issue? [00:31] hmm [00:32] Scunizi: do you share using GUI or conf file? [00:32] not really no [00:32] Losha: not sure.. others on the LAN (XP machines) can create files/folders with 777 permissions.. [00:32] big thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[00:32] jaydee, anytime [00:32] at the moment [00:33] Scunizi: so it's only a problem when creating folders from within the server machine? [00:33] yes [00:33] Losha: yes [00:33] i thought i need to do this [00:33] jaydee, ok, Gute Nacht [00:33] :) [00:33] he?

[00:36] well a blue screen appears and gives the option resume normal boot.....and still it does not give the normal desktop [00:37] hi all [00:37] Scunizi: what search for? with what is problem? [00:37] Scunizi: I see directory mask = 755 which is rwxr-xr-x. If it works how i think, only root has read access to those created directories. Try changing this and restarting smb...

[00:40] Scunizi: only one way to find out for sure... BTW, what *are* the permissions on dirs created on the server? [00:40] Hey guys - What would be the most likely place to find a log of why my server keeps dropping its network connection? [00:40] Losha: 755 when created by me and 777 when created by everyone else [00:40] !es > Cristian [00:40] Cristian, please see my private message [00:40] Scunizi: that 755 seems likely to be more than just coincidence...

[00:42] sebsebseb: long time no see... [00:42] WARNING: The following question is going to make you ask yourself, "Who would want that and why?" [00:42] Is there a way to make Ubuntu reboot itself every say...... two hours or so? [00:42] Losha: what I've been told is if on my machine I haven't mounted the samba share with cifs or smbfs then my system permissions structure takes over.. If I mount the share as smbfs then samba's configs are suppose to take over the control of the permissions.. [00:42] I have UNR installed on this netbook and while I disabled screen dimming in the options, it keeps doing so. is there another location to modify power options? [00:42] Losha: uh yeah [00:42] isaac_: there is. But who would want that and why? [00:43] Hey sebsebseb [00:43] psion: have you checked in the bios? [00:43] I haven't [00:43] Hi Scunizi [00:43] you can always disable the screens power saving in there perminently [00:43] :) [00:43] Great Losha! Can you rtfm me to the appropriate site? Google has let me down for once. [00:43] Hajuu: thanks, I wasn't aware of that [00:44] isaac_: dunno if there's a site. Just put a reboot command into crontab under root. It's gonna annoy users... [00:44] isaac_, that's an odd request, why would you want to do that? most people don't want to reboot EVER [00:44] can anybody tell me were is my mistake: [00:44] Executing: rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --chmod=a=rw,Da+x --delete --exclude="/cygdrive/D/My Documents/Charts/Search" "/cygdrive/D/My Documents/" "192.168.1.11::backuptest/My Documents/" [00:44] sending incremental file list [00:44] rsync: send_files failed to open "/cygdrive/D/My Documents/Charts/Search/Data/Applications/Windows/MSS.log": Device or resource busy (16) [00:44] Rafael_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:44] hello [00:45] Hey guys - What would be the most likely place to find a log of why my server keeps dropping its network connection? [00:45] Scunizi: out of my depth at this point. Take you all of 15 seconds to test out my theory though... [00:45] Hajuu, in /var/log? [00:45] psusi it's for a machine I want to leave bit torrenting a big file unsupervised, but the internet keeps going out after a while. Reboot (and automatic login, and Transmission in startup programs list) would help. [00:45] Where is........ crontab? [00:46] Losha: Scunizi It's nice to know that I was missed :) [00:46] Losha: oh I think you have more then a theory.. I think that will work.. but is it the *only* way.. or the right way.. [00:46] !cron | isaac_ follow the guide [00:46] isaac_ follow the guide: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [00:46] can anybody help? [00:46] isaac_, I'd want to fix the network problem rather than reboot.... man crontab and cron... cron runs jobs automatically at certain times [00:46] Alright, now we're cooking! === ldlework is now known as Guest35290 [00:46] Hajuu: unfortunately it wasn't an option in the bios :x the bios on this netbook is actually very limited [00:47] Losha: can you add a permissions statement to a mount command? [00:47] isaac_: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto. But psusi is right... [00:47] sebsebseb: you were missed, and not just by me... === Plasmastar is now known as EarthStar [00:47] How to Ubuntu Remote Desktop over ssh from Windows ? [00:47] so I suppose I'll pose the question again: other than in settings >> power saving, where can I set powersaving options? my screen keeps dimming in the middle of a movie (vlc has disable screen saver enabled, it does it anyway) [00:47] now, back to TRYING to use evolution instead of thunderbird... [00:48] hello,does someone have some tutorials about ubuntu networking? [00:48] Scunizi: I see something called dir_mode in man mount.cifs but the explanation is sketchy (as with all things smbfs). If it works, and has no undesirable side effects, who's to say a solution is 'wrong'... [00:48] Losha: by who? pm if you want, since well, you know what this place is like and off topic [00:49] anybody is so kind to help me? [00:49] Im having some problemas with this file http://pastebin.com/dEbDNCQA . Could someone give me a hand please? Thanks in advance [00:49] Losha: yea.. I was just reading through man mount.. haven't found the dir_mode yet.. [00:50] hello! [00:50] hi [00:50] heres what im tryin to do, [00:51] get a minimal installation of ubuntu running with openssh and subsonic along with java to stream media over a network [00:51] no the problem is with the filesystem, i have no idea what i should be using [00:51] Losha: there's also a "ownmask=value" statement I'm looking at [00:51] fat32?ext2/3? [00:51] dblur: If you're using ubuntu-server you should be in #ubuntu-server [00:52] dblur: for a media server, it is often ideal to install your OS on an ext3 partition, but then use a seperate NTFS partition for storing media. [00:52] This ensures that both windows and linux computers can directly use the media storage [00:52] Thank you Losha, psusi. [00:52] Hajuu : why not fat32 ? [00:52] (Not essential, but a nice touch) [00:52] * isaac_ tips his hat and shuffles out the door. [00:52] because fat32 is.. very old? [00:53] fat32 wont support large drives either [00:53] because its entirely antiquated. [00:53] but does ubuntu have stable ntfs support ? [00:53] ofcourse. [00:53] thus why I suggested it [00:53] :) [00:53] Hajuu: ntfs-3g [00:54] Tell it to dblur not to me :P [00:54] Scunizi: interesting. I don't see outmask in my 8.04 man pages... [00:55] Guest81452 : ok, what about ntfs-3g? === EarthStar is now known as Plasmastar [00:55] dblur: The ntfs support is completely stable and safe, the only catch is that there is no fsck for ntfs, so if it gets unmounted uncleanly you may have to run chkdsk from a windows machine before you can mount it again. [00:55] Losha: ownmask .. it's in the man mount file .. the dir_mode and file_mode options are in the man mount.cifs file [00:55] dblur: that's the apt package for installing read/write ntfs support [00:55] supports "Windows NT[citation needed]" -wikipedia [00:55] Hajuu, should be using ext4 these days [00:55] psusi: Not always, only if you need the extra features it brings. [00:55] Extra features = extra bulk [00:56] and for a system partition, thats not a good thing unless you require it for something. [00:56] Hajuu, no, the new features actually make for a faster filesystem that wastes less space [00:56] Ugh, I thought I had a good idea today but someone had already taken it: theQuestion = (2*B)|!(2*B) [00:56] If you say so :P [00:56] Hajuu: define "bulk" [00:56] hello [00:56] as far as im aware it references far more information from the file table every request than ext3 [00:57] I do say so ;) [00:57] which on a server especially creates a large amount more load. [00:57] you don't say? [00:57] depends on what the server does [00:57] Lucid Lynx / how to move close button to the right on the active window? [00:57] aha === Ivan747 is now known as Troll [00:58] seems like the answer was ntfs, thx a lot. [00:58] you have that backwards hajuu... ext3 has to explicitly list every block a file contains, which for files larger than 12 blocks means it has to start allocating more data blocks just to hold block numbers... ext4 just writes the start block and length in the inode... much faster and uses less space [00:58] Hajuu: No, extends mean that much less metadata is required in general. [00:58] Scunizi: not sure those options in mount will apply to cifs... [00:58] will hit you with more questions soon. === Troll is now known as Guest47087 [00:58] Need The Freaky Soup?

"VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0" [02:06] Still yucky for example compared to xchat [02:06] phyrrus: for high level apps yes, for libs and such its not such a great idea [02:06] It's like there's new default fonts KDE puked out [02:06] heh [02:06] the reason i like selinux is that it consolodates the apps incase one is compromised by a exploit [02:06] LzrdKing: no, the bottom lines [02:06] miked595, so what do i do now??? [02:06] mawst: yeah, FF with no font antialiasing doesn't do well heehe [02:06] ActionParsnip: i dont believe that was though. [02:06] i installed headers? [02:06] ...

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:10] fine [02:10] LzrdKing: chromium-browser is the browser but you are right chromium is a game [02:10] Hi!

[02:32] britany_okla, you could make an ISO out of the DVD "cat /dev/cdrom >> image.iso" then burn it multiple times? [02:32] britany_okla: at the top i think, you can select "copy disc" [02:32] KDE makes a ~/.fonts.conf that literally rapes your eyes. [02:33] Utterly disgusting. [02:33] ActionParsnip: any insight on how to partition a 1TB hard drive. I know what tools to use and how to do it. Just wondering on partition sizes and amount of swap space. [02:33] Deleting that file is highly recommended.

[02:37] IdleOne: set a low vm.swappiness too ;) [02:37] Jordan_U, I have 45 Sata disks in this system. It would be nice to be able to seperate the ide disk from the sata :) [02:37] IdleOne: keeps your apps in ram rather than useing swap [02:37] pyrophelia: /dev/disk/by-path/ ? [02:38] Jordan_U, I think you missed the point. [02:38] does anyone want to try tackling a really fun printer problem? the syslog is here: http://pastebin.com/prVt1YGr [02:38] Jordan_U, I know there is an option I have over looked in the kernel config that labels ide disks as hd instead of sd but I'm not sure which one it is. [02:39] ActionParsnip, well read the link and he tells you what you should do but not how to [02:39] jordan_U, this is my third 2.6.33.2 kernel on this system so I know it's possible.

[03:52] Hello [03:52] candy_: no I mean you can maybe make a bootable Ubuntu USB, and install from that [03:52] Lady_Rayn: hi [03:52] Hello [03:52] :) [03:52] Ken8521, I checked the bios setting but theres no cd optionn :( only first hard drive option is there [03:52] sebsebseb, assuming her pc will boot usb.. [03:52] sebsebseb, I know that. i made bootable usb but still its not working [03:52] candy_: You may need to go into the bios of the computer and tell it to boot from CD [03:52] candy_, well that's the problem, and a very unusual one.. is your cd drive working? [03:53] candy_: or go into the bios and tell it to boot from USB [03:53] dotnet45: its good as a try before you buy but I agree, and its pretty poor too as the fragmentation in NTFS affects its speed [03:53] Ken8521, yes [03:53] candy_: try pressing F11 at boot [03:53] sebsebseb, only booting from first hard drive option is there in bios === KindOne is now known as Titanic [03:53] candy_, make/model of the PC? [03:53] how can i connect my laptop to use wifi where it did few days ago now it wont connect to my router yet it shows the router in the network icon [03:53] candy_: make the CD or USB whatever you want to boot form, the first boot device, if you can [03:54] ubergamer: if you log on as a different user, can you? [03:54] sebsebseb, are you paying attention at all to what she's saying or just talking? [03:54] sebsebseb, i cannot.. only first hard drive option is there to boot [03:54] from my laptop [03:54] candy_, make/model of the pc [03:54] Ken8521, dont remember... frens pc. will check and come back [03:54] actionparsnip: from my laptop? [03:55] Ken8521, but not now.. tell me some alternatives if any is there [03:55] if I right click on a folder in nautilus and select to share it with no user account required, should that be sufficient to browse from a windows machine? [03:55] candy_, well i would go through the bios closer, there has to be a boot sequence option. [03:55] candy_, if you don't want to wubi install, and you can't change the boot sequence, there is no alternative [03:55] Ken8521, I spent more that a hour in bios.. couldnot get.. yet i ll do that agian [03:55] anyone ever come across "/usr/sbin/grub-install: Input/output error" when attempting to fix grub from a livecd? [03:55] candy_: There is another way Ubuntu can be tried, well if the hardware can handle it, e.g. enough RAM [03:55] candy [03:56] Ken8521, from wubi can i install it in separate partition? [03:56] candy_, sort of, it goes to a virtual drive [03:56] sebsebseb, ram is jut 512 mb [03:56] candy_: there is a program that can convert to a real partition, but it seems someone was saying that isn't easy [03:56] actionparsnip: do you want me to log on from my laptop via eth0 [03:56] candy find the fkey to give boot options on start up .... might be f8 or f12 [03:56] candy_: ok this other thing I was thinking of would probably work, but be a bit slow [03:56] sebsebseb, whats that, tell me.. will give a try [03:57] ubergamer: no, log onto the pc as a different user to see if the issue is profile based [03:57] Ken8521, will that be as fast as real one [03:57] sebsebseb, what? [03:57] ActionParsnip:stand by [03:57] candy_: also I really do mean "try" when I suggest doing Ubuntu inside Windows in a virtual machine. Realy useauly it should be Windows inside Ubuntu, not the other way round. [03:57] candy_, i'm personally not a fan of wubi, but i dont see any reason it would be any slower/faster than a normal install.. but I belive it is far more problematic.. i would not do it [03:58] Ken8521, I am afraid so... [03:58] candy_, you have to be missing something on the boot sequence... like others said, maybe you need to hit f12 or something like that, to call up the boot order [03:58] candy_, can really only discover that though, w/ the make/model fo the pc [03:59] Ken8521, I tried all.. its not coming [03:59] candy_: Wubi it seems can only read the Windows files, not write to them. Also it may be a tiny bit slower than a proper partitioned install, but other than that, when it works, I guess it's ok really [03:59] candy_, delete or esc maybe [03:59] candy .... you can put the hard drive into a computer that will boot from cd .... install ubuntu ... and then put the drive back in first machine [03:59] Ken8521, will check that..wait a sec i ll ask the model of pc.. just a sec [03:59] ActionParsnip: not profile based does same thing [03:59] !install | candy_ [03:59] candy_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[04:00] did a 'killall gnome-session' and everything backs to normal [04:00] it's some X issue im having ? [04:00] DanDare, 10.04? [04:00] maybe because im using a Microsoft mouse? (but not kidding now a microsoft mouse may have the right driver loaded or something) [04:01] i only get an 8 bt display [04:01] DanDare: Micrsooft hardware is useaully alright I guess, unlike the software [04:01] when 10.04 is released, how do I upgrade? [04:01] yeah, this mouse is OK [04:01] !upgrade | mdel [04:01] mdel: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:01] ActionParsnip: what is next step if its not profile based [04:02] mdel: the program you install security updates from, will probably tell you at the bottom, that a new release is available [04:02] Ken8521: i guess a better question is.... is it like windows, where a fresh install is better? [04:02] mdel: that depends on the version of Ubuntu you currently have installed, to some extent [04:02] mdel, personally i think so.. some may beg to differ [04:02] 9.10 [04:02] mdel: ok and was 9.10 a clean install? [04:02] yes [04:03] mdel: ok then that should be fine upgrading it to 10.04 [04:03] word [04:03] i wish i would have put my home directory on a separate partition [04:03] mdel: however, I woudn't bother untill like 1st May, since download servers will be packed to begin with [04:03] then it would be easy to fresh install [04:03] mdel: and so rather slow [04:03] mdel, stress the *should* be fine [04:04] ZykoticK9: it's probably not like 9.04 to 9.10 [04:04] ZykoticK9: which messed up for a lot of people [04:04] also, I have my web development stack set up the way I want... i hope everything is ok after upgrading [04:04] i just upgraded it was slow but worked fine [04:04] mdel: ZykoticK9 normalley upgrades go fine for like everyone, but 9.04 to 9.10 was an exception for quite a lot of people [04:04] sebsebseb, agreed - but am seeing *some* issues with upgrades in #ubuntu+1 [04:04] is 10.04 out now? [04:04] mdel: no [04:04] mdel: April 29th [04:04] ok thats what i thought [04:05] mdel: except for development versions, but only more expereinced users should be doing these, really [04:05] is there a short list of "this is why you definitely want 10.04" [04:05] wow I hate grub... [04:05] or is it just the usual stuff [04:05] new packages available in the repos and new default versions, etc [04:06] mdel: social networking features, for Facebook and Twitter and such built in, new themes and backgrounds, Ubuntu One Music Store for those that want to buy music, and that's about it, oh and #ubuntu+1 is really the place to be asking the 10.04 questions [04:06] mdel, an article overing RC http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/ubuntu-1004-lts-lucid-lynx-release.html [04:06] mdel: ah yes and better boot up [04:06] s/overing/covering [04:06] awesome [04:06] thanks guys [04:06] mdel, MUCH better boot up [04:07] im thrilled with the switch... ive never used linux on the desktop, but after finding several php-cli bugs in windows i made the switch [04:07] and its awesome [04:07] im a mac guy, but at work we have dell workstations [04:07] sebsebseb, mdel posted a moment ago in +1 "I am upgrading from 9.10 to the RC release and dpkg quites with a broken pipe on : gir1.0-clutter-1.0_1.2.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb" [04:07] ???? [04:07] no i didnt [04:07] mdel: newer versions of kernel and modules will support newer hardware nicer [04:07] mdel, not you - just showing there are *some* issues with upgrades [04:07] ah ok [04:08] ZykoticK9: uhmm [04:08] ZykoticK9: that's development versions [04:08] mdel: that's development version [04:08] sebsebseb, true! [04:08] yeah i know [04:08] these kind of issues will probably be fixed [04:08] by the final [04:08] mdel: 10.04 is definately cheaper than mac, mind you so is gold [04:08] most/all of them anyway [04:08] ActionParsnip: not when you buy used :) [04:09] i love my macbook pro, and OS X [04:09] mdel: 10.04 is also a bit more Mac OS X like by default [04:09] but at work, ubuntu is a dream over vista [04:09] mdel: true, like it [04:09] sebsebseb: yeah isnt there a new theme or something [04:09] sebsebseb, actually after installing RC and doing the updates available today it's no longer "development" according to "lsb_release -a" (but it still is!) [04:09] two new themes [04:10] ahh that pink/purple one [04:10] mdel: shame Firefox looks to black for my likeing, in the default theme, but other then that, nice theme [04:10] not really a fan... i like my wild-shine :) [04:10] mdel: except for how I am not that keen on the new window borders. [04:11] yeah me neither [04:11] ZykoticK9: mdel Really we should be talking in #ubuntu+1 ,but no one telling us off [04:11] gonna stick with wild-shine [04:11] does anyone know what command to know whether the ram is single or dual channel? [04:11] i just ate a piece of bhut jolokia pepper holy smokes [04:11] sebsebseb, i found removing the bookmark toolbar(assuming you don't use it), helped w/ making it look "to black" [04:11] sebsebseb: sorry, lets move on [04:11] mdel: wild-shine ? [04:11] its a great theme [04:11] there are ppa sources for the whole line of themes... not sure who they are from [04:11] mdel: from?

I'm guessing it's a driver issue but the only useful thing i can find by googling is the ralink package from their site, and i'm not sure wether i should even try installing it [04:29] it appears that .img are only provided for obscure platforms... why? [04:29] noone knows? [04:29] boolcrap: you can pastebin the file if you wish [04:29] boolcrap: so we can check its ok [04:29] It would really suck if those directions are outdated and the installer actually starts installing heh [04:30] GSF1200S: you waited all of 60 seconds, have patience my child [04:30] most people who have a netbook (with no optical drive) won't be able to install ubuntu... wth [04:30] What's wrong?

[04:41] dotnet41: it will install the binarys over the top but the old configs may cause issues. i wouldnt recommend it [04:41] ActionParsnip: bleh - thanks for the info - was hoping for a shortcut to repair my grub installation [04:41] startupmanager description says "Grub and Splash screen configuration".

[05:59] belus: do you use it between windows and linux? [06:00] Out_Cold, i use only ubuntu amd 64....it worked when coppying...but i used the safely remove function...and now it doesn't recognise it [06:00] Out_Cold, i use it for my phone [06:00] silly question [06:00] belus: you can try to command mount it... do you know the device block?? sdb1 maybe? [06:01] strcpy copies the null terminating character right? === sandy is now known as Guest50082 [06:02] Out_Cold, i'm a newbie...i don't know much...yes i think sdb1...but what is the command to mount it? [06:02] Hello Everybody [06:02] belus: try sudo mkdir /media/sdcard; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdcard [06:02] Anybody used unetbootlin? [06:03] belus start gparted and see if it shows up [06:03] i have been trying lots of live cds and my partner likes linuxmint but i like ubuntu.. she wants me to install it but shuold i ??? [06:03] belus: that may give you an error about not telling it what file system you used.. but try it anyways.. [06:03] Out_Cold, ok...i will try..be right back [06:04] frankie_: install ubuntu? [06:04] Have anybody tried unetbootlin or know how it works/ [06:04] raddy: works like a charm.. [06:04] Out_Cold : that is right, i have some doubts. [06:05] #ubuntu+1 [06:05] there doesnt seem to be that many differences between ubuntu and linuxmint it just seems linuxmint is simplier and easier to use is that corrrect??? [06:05] raddy: about?? i don't use the top option.. i download a iso and use the disk image option.. select a usb and kaboom. finished in 8.4 minutes [06:06] I have a DR-BT10CX bluetooth headset/stereo headphones. Ubuntu is recognizing it as a headset but it wont give me the option in bluetooth to use it as STEREO headphones, only mono. Where do I go for this? [06:06] zsync? [06:06] Out_Cold : If i target to install it in a local drive say C:, what it would do? would it erase C: ? Or just stores the installer of the linux distribution in C: ? [06:06] frankie_: it is the same base.. solutoins are usually the same but they don't really support each other [06:06] c: does not exist in linux [06:06] raddy: are you using it on windows?? [06:06] Out_Cold : Planning to. [06:06] I am transferring 28GB of data from one USB HDD to another and it's only going at 3.4 MB/s .... Why is it so darn slow? [06:07] raddy: well i'm not too sure about the gui on windows.. but on linux, it will copy alongside... if there are files that are same name, they get erased.. others will stay put.. not sure about saving it to disk.. i have never tried.. [06:08] zetheroo, is the files are alot and small .. what is the file system used ..??? [06:08] Is there a way to force quit a program without logging off ? ? [06:09] killall [06:09] safetynet, killall , sudo kill -9 , xkill [06:09] dr3mro: copying from ext3 to ntfs [06:09] dr3mro, run that in terminal ? [06:10] safetynet, yes but xkill from RUN alt+f2 [06:10] dr3mro, thank you [06:10] dr3mro, Ah got it thanks [06:10] zetheroo, what are the files .. big ISO, AVI or small text mp3 [06:10] safetynet: pkill also works [06:10] dr3mro: all of the above [06:11] Trying to copy files from my NTFS partition to my linux partition and when I do I get permission denied any suggestions? [06:11] Clorox: mount the ntfs drive with proper permissions before you copy? i seen something on ubuntu forums about that.. [06:12] Clorox .... where are you copying to? you need to copy to a directory you have the permisions .... such as your home folder [06:13] zetheroo, small files are slower to copy even in windows or mac ... and why you use ext3 .. EXT4 is far superior even in latest benchamrks it was't in bar with it but I use it and get more performance than ext3 ... NTFS causes CPU high usage ... I suggest to have EXT4 for all systems ... and it will be fast ... for the small text files and html try to archive then using tar [06:13] ugh.... so many key combos with a disabled mouse, screen and openbox running... i keep using different combos for the wrong situations [06:14] Im copying from my windows folder to a file in my home folder [06:14] dr3mro: I am in the process of moving all my data off my ext3 drive so that I can reformat into ext4 [06:14] :) [06:14] Why does ubuntu feel the need to download all these language packs on installing the RC? I only use english... I have a pretty fast connection and it's taking a long time... [06:14] zetheroo, may be the media is slow .. did you try $sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda [06:15] Why weren't they included on the disk? [06:15] dr3mro: what does that do? [06:15] zetheroo, it makes a benchmark to your harddisk .. check the man page .... man hdparm [06:16] dr3mro: also while this coying is happening my system seems to be acting a bit jerky like it's busy ... but their is about 3GB of ram free and the cpu is at 15% and under ... [06:16] zetheroo, mine Timing cached reads: 2126 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1063.33 MB/sec [06:16] Timing buffered disk reads: 122 MB in 3.03 seconds = 40.22 MB/sec [06:17] nice :) [06:17] zetheroo, what version of ubuntu you use ?? i used to have this on older version like gusty and hardy but since jaunty i dont have this [06:17] Karmic [06:17] fully updated [06:18] zetheroo, i think its because ext3 .. may be [06:18] hmm ok [06:18] i only use ext2, ext4 and fat32... [06:18] hmm, how is the nvidia graphics support in linux? :) [06:18] zetheroo, what is your hdparm [06:18] zetheroo do you have usb1 or usb2 [06:18] better then ati ? [06:18] MrSunshine: yes [06:19] how do i clear out my terminal log [06:19] MrSunshine: but it's still buggy [06:19] charles__, he is more than 1 mb/sec so usb2 [06:19] dr3mro: can i do that benchmark while the data is transferring? [06:19] or should isaydelete [06:19] dr3mro o yes ok [06:19] charles__: USB 2 ... :) Thinkpad R61 [06:19] zetheroo, it wont be accurate but it will give you idea about it .. it will be about 80 % lower [06:19] * biggs tryin to learn [06:20] dr3mro: ok [06:20] Out_Cold, I have tried and this is the output mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [06:21] Out_Cold, It's a micro sd card in an sd addaptor, funny it worked before using that safely remove hardware thing:| [06:21] dr3mro: I did "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda" and now i have "/dev/sda:" with a blinking cursor [06:23] Hello Everybody [06:23] dr3mro: you there? [06:23] I am currently downloading Ubuntu 10.04 RC [06:24] Does anyone have a clue why I can not my microsd card anymore in my laptop?I used the remove function safely and now it will not recognise my card:| it will not say anything when plugging in [06:24] Is it the last release ? [06:24] Would i need to download huge amount of stuff once final gets released? [06:25] RC = Release Candidate [06:25] nevermind i remember tired tonight [06:25] Ok [06:25] Would i need to download huge amount of stuff once final gets released? [06:25] belus: I think Safely Remove Drive disconnects some USB card readers from the USB bus. You should use one of the other unmount/eject options instead. [06:25] raddy: you mean updates? [06:26] zetheroo : yup [06:26] belus: as for it not working right now, try restarting. [06:26] rww, Trust me, after using that, I will never ever use it again....:|I can not mount my sd card in my laptop:| [06:26] rww, I will try restarting the system and see [06:26] raddy: there will probably be some ... but I would imagine not too much [06:27] hello is there anybody to help me pls [06:27] rww, be right back with info, thank you so much for the help/ [06:29] rww, Thank you sir, thank you so much, I thought i lost my sd card forever. [06:29] belus: No problem, glad to help. The relevant bug report is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/504440 , btw. [06:30] rww, Thanks very mcuh. [06:30] rww, *Much, have a great day! [06:30] you also :) [06:31] Could someone help me set up wacom in *wine*? Latest. I don't want to ask in #wine, it's quiet there :P [06:34] what do I do when 'gpg --fingerprint" returns nothing? [06:34] hello.. [06:35] i would like to know how i can view my ubuntu 9.1 grub menu as soon as i reboot my system.. i want my system to directly take me to the grub menu so that i can choose the other OS installed in my system. i tried giving ESC when the system boots.. but that does not take me to the Grub menu [06:35] cage_raphel, I believe you hold down shift in grub2 [06:36] cage_raphel, try holding down shift right after bios loads [06:36] Hi, every time I startup my computer i manually have to enable wireless network. Should this not be an autostart? Im using UNR 9.10 [06:36] cage_raphel: I think it's the shift key too. If you want it to show up every time, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where%20did%20my%20Grub2%20boot%20menu%20go!?!?! [06:37] thats amazing.. let me check and get back to u both.. thank you chris4585 and rww. [06:37] Bearman, I think you can set your wireless network on autostart if you look in the network applet or something like that [06:38] Hello Everybody [06:38] Bearman: what do you do to enable it? Click on the Network applet and select a network, or right-click it and click Enable Wireless (or Enable Networking)? [06:38] Can anybody tell me whether i can install ubuntu to a native partition when i follow unetbootin's frugal install method? [06:39] rww, yes, I know. the problem is that i have to do this everytime at startup, I would like it to enable my Wireless automatically. [06:40] raddy, as far as I know, unetbootin works with fat32 partitions [06:40] rww, Seems like I have another question about that sd card...I wrote information on it and clicked eject....now it says I have to wait for the system to write something on it to prevent data loss...what is this? [06:40] Bearman: I'm asking which of those two you do? They're both supposed to be automatic, and which you're having to do manually would tell me which setting we need to change. [06:40] rww, And it seems endlessly ....:)the bar goes left and right .... [06:41] rww, i have to right click the applet an tick the "enable wireless" box. [06:41] rww, I wrote 1,7gb on it, is this why i have to wait that long? [06:41] belus: When you tell the computer to write data to an external drive, it sometimes caches it instead of writing it right away. If you tell it to eject before everything is written, that'll pop up. SD cards aren't that fast, so it sometimes takes a little while to finish writing. [06:41] belus: yes, that'd do it :) [06:42] chris4585, that worked.. i was able to access the GRUB menu by tapping the shift key when my system reboots! === marcio is now known as Guest98862 [06:42] Bearman, try right clicking on the network applet, and edit connections, and go to the wireless tab, there should be a autostart option, I remember seeing one on my laptop === Guest98862 is now known as marcio_ [06:42] cage_raphel, glad it worked :) [06:42] Hello Everybody === techie is now known as Guest78714 [06:42] now how do i add my Solaris 10 which is instaled in the second partition. how do i add it to my grub menu? [06:43] rww, Ok, thank you...woohoo, it finally completed, time to listen some good norwegian black metal on my phone while going to work. Thanks ...woohoo I'm so happy that i finally got this issue fixed..thanks so much! [06:43] belus: You're welcome :) [06:43] If i put a non live cd image of ubuntu desktop iso in unetbootlin and do a frugal install, would the installer get started after rebooting? [06:43] rww, i forgot to thank u .. my grub worked! [06:43] Bearman: curious. Can you copy the contents of /etc/network/interfaces to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the page it creates here, please? [06:43] chris4585, I found the option, though its already ticked. [06:44] rww np [06:44] cage_raphel, I think you have to login to ubuntu and run grub-pc ? [06:44] cage_raphel: Glad I could help :) [06:44] chris4585, i am pretty new to ubuntu .. could u pls walk me thro as to how to run the grub-pc? [06:45] cage_raphel, ok hold on let me find something [06:45] chris4585, sure thing .. pls take your time. you are doing a great job! :) [06:46] rww, I might as well paste it here, it says "auto lo, iface lo inet loopback". [06:46] hrm, that's what it's supposed to say. [06:46] * rww ponders [06:47] cage_raphel, look here Adding Entries to Grub 2 on this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [06:48] bbl [06:48] tc [06:48] Hello all, [06:48] Hey all so last week I turfed and reinstalled one of my xp machines and now my putty is complaining that its missing its private key to connect to my ubuntu box. Is there anyone out there that can tell me a quick way of either recreating or getting the private key again? [06:48] By the way, is there any Chemistry Equation Editor for Ubuntu? [06:49] chris4585, thanks for that info again .. but i have no clue how to update the menu.lst. would u like to take a look at my menu.lst file? [06:49] cage_raphel, first, are you booted into ubuntu? [06:49] crash1hd: You can't recreate private SSH keys. You'd need to generate a new keypair and upload it to your ubuntu box, the same way you did originally. [06:49] crash1hd: Private Key? Sorry if I misunderstood, but is it the Password you're talking about there? [06:49] rww, the install is fresh from yesterday so I have not had time to mess things up [06:50] chris4585, yes i am on ubuntu now [06:50] crash1hd: Oh, sorry. Seems like I misunderstood., :( [06:50] rww, ok hmm any reference as to how to do that quick (I am on the ubuntu box now) [06:50] Bearman: Has it always acted like that, or did it work when you first installed? [06:50] chris4585, if i am not wrong .. this is the command to access the menu.lst..... sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst . is that the correct one ? [06:50] and do I have to remove anything to do this [06:50] like the old public key? [06:50] rww, no. it never worked [06:51] crash1hd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys for the Ubuntu side. I don't know how to do the PuTTY side. [06:51] cage_raphel, open a terminal by going to Applications > Accessories > Terminal then type sudo update-grub [06:51] rww, thankyou :) [06:51] cage_raphel, that does look like the right command, but you don't have to do it manually I think [06:51] chris4585, ok .. done. [06:52] chris4585, would u like to see the output of what i have got here after running the command? [06:52] Bearman: Do you have the same problem if you boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD? [06:52] How can we restore the Ubuntu Login Screen? I tickled it with GDM2Setup, and made a mess, :( Should I uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu-Login-Screen? [06:52] rww, I think so. [06:53] cage_raphel, in the output does it mention anything about opensolaris? [06:53] Bearman: Friend, mind if I know what is the problem? I just joined, and may be I could do a little help, :) [06:54] chris4585, no.. no such thing is mentioned.. i would appreciate if you can quickly go thro this output. shall i send the output to u in a private chat.. looks like i cant paste here. [06:54] rocket16, please! :) [06:54] cage_raphel, sure [06:54] ubottu: paste | cage_raphel [06:54] cage_raphel: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [06:55] Bearman: Sure, but I could not see your question, since I joined after you typed the question, :( So, would you mind Private Messaging me the question so that I can see? [06:55] Bearman: alright, I'm drawing a blank, sorry. Perhaps rocket16 will be of more use [06:56] rww: Thanks, I'll try my best, :) [06:56] i love ubuntu [06:56] but i love linux mint too :( [06:57] Bearman: Thanks, :) I think, this is the solution: First right-click the Network Widget, then select "Edit Connections", then [06:57] Hey frankie_ [06:57] Is 9.04 "hardy" ? [06:57] hello crucialhoax [06:57] Name141: 9.04 is Jaunty [06:57] Name141: 9.04 is Jaunty. Hardy is 8.04. [06:57] Name141, no thats jaunty, hardy is 8.04 [06:57] Name141: No, it is JAunty Jackalope [06:57] rww, brainsync lol [06:58] :) [06:58] eh. I might as well trash this CD then [06:58] Bearman: Now, select Wireless TAB, and edit the connection, and select "Connect automatically at startup" [06:58] Name141: what type of CD is it? [06:58] rww: Jaunty. [06:58] Hi, In case someone has an account on ubuntuforums, you could post the information I posted here http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=81209 to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883690&page=3 for everyone's benefit. (I dislike signing up on multiple websites.) [06:58] rocket16, Sorry, that option is already ticked. [06:58] Oh I found 8.04 LTS. That's hardy? [06:59] is it bad that i tried opensuse, ubuntu and linuxmint and not really notice any major differences between them ?? [06:59] Name141: yup [06:59] I would assume soon as the next LTS is out, hardy will be dead? [06:59] frankie_, no thats not bad [06:59] for security updates, etc? [07:00] rocket16, rww, my time is running up. Thanks for the help anyway. [07:00] Name141: LTS releases are supported for three years on desktop computers and five years on servers. Hardy came out in April 2008. [07:00] Bearman: I got the answer, check here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636045 [07:00] Bearman: I think that might help, :) [07:00] rww: OK. So I could put hardy on the machine now, but I probably would want whatever the next LTS is coming out in a few days? [07:01] Name141: Also, you can upgrade straight from Hardy to Lucid when it comes out (since they're both LTS), rather than having to go through the versions in between like you would with Jaunty. [07:01] chris4585 : that is good ! i did notice the difference between KDE and gnome, I do like gnome but my partner was impressed with KDE widgets, but opensuse was a bit more frustrating to get hardware to work :P [07:01] Name141: I'd wait a few months to let them shake the bugs out, but yeah, you'd want to upgrade at some point. [07:01] rww: Ok. I'll just put the LTS on there then instead of 9.10 [07:02] rocket16, thanks. I will have a go with that in the afternoon. Now I have to prepare an interview.. :) [07:02] Bearman: Sure, Goodluck, :) [07:02] Name141: alright. I'll have the channel bot send you a link to the upgrade instructions for when you decide to do that. [07:02] frankie_, cool, hey you might like this channel #ubuntu-offtopic personally I prefer gnome [07:02] ubottu: tell Name141 about upgrade [07:02] Name141, please see my private message [07:02] Bearman: See you again, [07:02] thanks, c u [07:03] aaaand upgrade has started (note: NOT asking help for Lucid :/) [07:03] theadmin: good luck :) [07:04] 5 hours... Why are the update channels so slow these days? o_O [07:04] theadmin: presumably because everyone else is upgrading to Lucid too ;P [07:04] rww: I see. Guess everyone wants to get the RC, because usually it's nearly just as stable as final [07:05] Strange that it wants to download less files then when I was upgrading to Karmic :D [07:07] aint admin* and root* disallowed nicknames on freenode [07:07] because they are misleading [07:07] Aciid: Guess no :P [07:08] Aciid: Not that I've ever heard. [07:08] Any chance there's someone here who is experienced with sredird, ser2net, or anything like that? I have an app that accesses a serial port that I'd like to redirect to a network port. [07:08] okey [07:09] Q: Is there a way to get flash to play well in Ubuntu? If not, anyone know a distro that handles it well? [07:09] Alternatively, if someone can help me figure out which files to change to tell the cp210x module to not use DTR and RTS, that'd be even better. [07:10] Does anyone have wacom working *IN* wine? [07:10] lifestream: We don't support wine here. #winehq plz [07:11] Anyone know why Ubuntu one doesnt like Truecrypted volumes? [07:11] i cant get them to sync [07:11] theadmin, I tried there, and I thought you might be so kind to help here:P chances of ubuntu users using photoshop (high) chances of wine devs using photoshop, not high [07:12] lifestream: Chances of ubuntu users using the GIMP are higher, though :P [07:12] theadmin, as long as some use photoshop. I myself /was/ using gimp [07:12] Hrm. sredird and ser2net both seem to start from the network side -- I need something that starts on the serial side. Ugh. Why is this so hard? [07:12] Myke1: if you don't get an answer here, there's an #ubuntuone channel that might know [07:13] Doyle, try the 10.1 rc of flash. runs much smoother on my netbook. [07:13] ah ok thanks [07:13] rww: I'm assuming to have gazillions of GB's of updates I will have to download after installing Hardy since it's so old? [07:14] Name141: Nope, you can upgrade straight to Lucid (LTS to LTS upgrades are way possible) [07:14] Name141: Depends on which type of Hardy CD you have. LTSes get point releases (8.04.1, 8.04.2, etc.) with update rollups. [07:14] rww: I just found the original 8.04 [07:14] theadmin: I think Name141 means updates from hardy release to the current version of hardy [07:15] yeah [07:15] Name141: if it's 8.04.0, then yes, you'll have quite a few :( [07:15] Hey, is anyone else confused about why on earth I should care about UEC? [07:15] rww: I hope this wont take long, I only have unlimited bandwdith from 1-6 AM and it's 1:14 [07:16] Don't we have KVM and OpenVZ for this kind of thing>?

More knowledgeable when they're around, though :) [07:18] hardran3: I'll give it a shot. thanks [07:18] yeah. i just dont know why my truecrypt volumes dont sync in ubuntu one [07:18] Lantizia: If you need support help with UEC, try #ubuntu-server. If you just want to chat about it, try #ubuntu-offtopic. [07:19] How can I implement whiptail into my scripts? === mauricio is now known as Guest19504 [07:22] mauricio [07:24] question, ubuntu 10.04 how can I replace or alter the login splash [07:24] rww: I assume that 8.04 will have just about everything, maybe a little latter versions than 9.10 ? [07:24] xdr_: 10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [07:24] hello everyone [07:24] Name141: Yep, it should be useable, albeit a little old. === Yum is now known as Yum|--- [07:25] rww: I just want it to do basic stuff like run eggdrops [07:25] rww: it's an old old machine [07:25] Name141: should be fine for that :) [07:26] rww: remind me of how to install SSHd again once this is all done? [07:27] Name141: install openssh-server with a packagemanager. For example, you could do it from the command-line with "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" [07:27] is there a command that i can hide my desktop icons? [07:27] OK [07:28] Yo yo yo [07:28] ut oh, it's Ice T [07:30] g0aliath: right click on your desktop > configure desktop > behavior > unchecked show icon on desktop i assume you use kde [07:31] How can I implement whiptail into my scripts?

[07:33] g0aliath: no problem [07:33] Name141: I just remembered, there's a security issue in the openssl-related packages on early Hardy CDs. You'll want to read http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1 and make sure your package versions are at or above the ones at the bottom of that page after installation. You can check that with apt-cache policy packagename, and update just one package with sudo apt-get install packagename. [07:33] ola [07:33] what happens if i do not have that option?

[07:39] I always heard it as "FSVO", for certain values of. :-) [07:39] Made a workaround that uses at/cron to do the right thing. It'll let me sleep at night anyway. === strings is now known as strings_ [07:39] Night all! [07:39] theadmin: that's a nice change. you're hereby forbidden from conversing with my wife.

[07:40] * mneptok tootles of to Dreamyhappyland [07:40] Theadmin: +1 one, same cure needed :( [07:41] ActionParsnip: "+1 one"? [07:42] Theadmin: sure why not :D [07:42] ActionParsnip: Didn't understand... Oh well. [07:42] if i dont specify a path, just a filename, it assumes the path of the file that is specifying the filename ? [07:43] Theadmin: its been a long night [07:43] boolcrap: When you specify just the file it assumes the file is in $PATH or current directory [07:44] ActionParsnip: It's gonna be a long day, to, this RC upgrade is moving slowly [07:44] sed s/to/too [07:45] rww: I don't assume there is any generic driver I could install to make my VooDoo3 3DFX 8MB video card look better? [07:45] Theadmin: fast day for me, I'll be asleep all day [07:45] Name141: a stock install ships with the driver [07:45] ActionParsnip: so it's as good as it gets ? [07:45] Name141: no idea, sorry :( [07:46] Name141: pretty much, not sure about 3D accel but you should get really nice 2D [07:47] Name141: you may need to form an xorg.conf if you are not getting the resolution you desire [07:47] ActionParsnip: I'll pretty much just be on it over SSH in a few hours anyway [07:47] ActionParsnip: xorg.conf, xorg.conf... They're trying to get rid of it and you go advising people to use it. === jab is now known as Guest33369 [07:48] theadmin: They're not "trying to get rid of it"; Xorg just autodetects things by default. It's a perfectly necessary and legitimate way of applying settings, especially for older cards. [07:48] Theadmin: because its tried and tested and works [07:49] Theadmin: suitable settings do not always get picked up automagically and personally I think its a bad move to not ship the OS with at least a skeletal file [07:50] ActionParsnip: Can't xrandr do something about it? :/ It's a huge monster so i haven't fully understood it yet [07:51] Theadmin: possibly but if the monitor doesn't report refresh rates then xrandr might come up short [07:52] heh, I love how this upgrader jumps. 3 hours 56 minutes. 4 hours 15 minutes. "About 5 hours". 2 hours 15 minutes. :/ [07:53] Wonder what's the CLI way to do a distribution upgrade. [07:53] theadmin: sudo do-release-upgrade [07:53] rww: Thanks [07:53] ubottu: upgrade [07:53] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:55] moin [07:55] Hi! I wanna add a user to my Ubuntu box, just to run irssi [07:55] I'm going to loan this account to a friend, so I don't want him to have access to div. folders, etc [07:55] !adduser | gfred [07:55] gfred: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [07:56] Gfred: not a bad security move at all :) [07:56] ActionParsnip: thanks, but I know how to add hi [07:56] *him [07:56] I just wanted some help on how to restrict the access he get as much ass possible [07:57] He won't need anything else than running irssi in screen [07:57] gFred: You don't want him to "sudo shutdown -h now" while you're doing something important. ;) [07:57] Quick question. First time I booted into the new ubuntu RC, empathy showed my messages in a little green mail icon along with all the evolution stuff [07:58] That's now gone, anyway to get it back? [07:58] gFred: Watch the language please... Basically, you'll be fine with defaults [07:58] He have almost no knowledge to linux, and I know him well, so I don't consider making him a user a security-problem :) [07:58] jhardin: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [07:58] Hi ! I want to install on Ubuntu 10 RC SunJava but i could not see on Software Center. [07:58] ok thanks [07:58] theadmin: watch the language? What did I say? [07:58] pilica_36: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [07:58] Yo yo yo [07:58] gFred: "restrict the access ass much as possible", "ass" is a bad word [07:58] theadmin: He intend to say as. [07:58] OK THANKS! [07:59] haha, ok, sorry :P [07:59] Wait wha... RC has no Java? o_O [07:59] gFred: as long as he doesnt have sudo access he should be fine. if anything he'll learn more from not restricting to much. [07:59] Theadmin: its not, its another word for a donkey [07:59] Theadmin; its even written in the christian bible a few times :) [07:59] ActionParsnip: Yeah, however, it's also another word for... you know what, I think. [07:59] strings_: will he be able to browse my files and directories? [07:59] No idea why it ended up to be this way :P [08:00] gFred: Make sure they are in correct mode, that's all [08:00] chmod 770 $HOME [08:00] ok, great thanks! [08:00] Theadmin: phrases and words have interesting roots, you should investigate [08:00] gFred: no he'll pretty much only have access to his home directory [08:00] ok, thats fine [08:00] great support here, thanks :) [08:01] tst [08:01] gFred: The best way is to be that user yourself and test just how much limitation you get. [08:01] Alcor: sccdd [08:02] gFred: Ubuntu IS for human beings :D [08:02] And donkeys. [08:02] I say linux is for human beings :) [08:02] oh you didnt :P [08:02] but yeah this support is a lot better then, say, Fedora's, or LinuxMint's. In last one they might tell you to rtfm... and be fully right, because by default "rtfm" is an alias to "man" there === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:03] Oh YEA! Thanks. 10.1 is much better. Still seems to operate better with hardware acceleration disabled. [08:03] theadmin: That's nice. I like that idea. I should add an alias -- rtfm for man. Hmm. :) [08:03] !away > JimmyJ|zz [08:03] JimmyJ|zz, please see my private message [08:04] red2kic: I have an alias "please"="sudo" too :D [08:05] theadmin: :D [08:05] theadmin: I have alias ssh-clean='rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts' <-- This one I find useful but yes, I should practice my security just a tad better [08:05] and "apt"="sudo apt-get", but that is just for convinience [08:05] alias icanhas='sudo aptitude install' [08:05] rww: lol [08:06] icanhas man-db?

Could you try "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" (or similar, that is sda1 being the proper device) [08:12] Vak: you may have to modprobe in a module if you are using pre-jaunty [08:12] ActionParsnip: could you please drop a command line for this check?

[08:22] hi [08:22] vak: Probably. [08:22] vak: either way, you need to install support for the file system you want to format for. say ntfs you would need ntf-progs [08:23] wait... the root partition has been created during 9.10 installation by the default partition manager. But the other partition I am trying to format as Ext4 has been last formated with Ubuntu 8.x with whatever older partition manager. [08:23] vak: so what, not important [08:23] strings_: oh, I thought mkfs.ext4 is the only prerequisite... [08:24] vak: restate your issue please [08:24] vak: Which version of e2fsprogs you have?

[08:42] ###(####) - 1 ### - A Contre -Courant (####) [02:45/04:32] [08:42] ###(####) - 1 ### - A Contre -Courant (####) [02:50/04:32] [08:43] theadmin: Only have one PC atm. [08:43] Klevre: ...So, resize ntfs partition and dual-boot, just like I do. [08:43] thanks ubottu & theadmin [08:43] Then I wouldn't be able to use both at once :p [08:43] theadmin: what is the latest Ubuntu version out there now ? [08:43] Klevre: Indeed :D also look into andLinux, which is an Ubuntu designed to run inside Windows. [08:44] hi folks [08:44] jove: LucidLynx is the development one (10.04), KarmicKoala (9.10) is the recent stable one. [08:45] hi theadmin : here is my output : lsb_release -a [08:45] No LSB modules are available. [08:45] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [08:45] Description: Ubuntu 9.10 [08:45] Release: 9.10 [08:45] jove: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:45] Codename: karmic [08:45] What is the debian release name Ubuntu is based on, by the wa? o_O === zero is now known as Guest31653 [08:45] s/wa/way [08:45] jove: That's Karmic. [08:46] theadmin: so I am the latest 9.10 ? [08:46] jove: Yes. 6 days until Lucid though :D [08:46] what does it mean 6 day till D ? theadmin [08:47] theadmin: 32-bit versions only it seems. [08:47] jove: It means that new release will be out in 6 days [08:47] !lucid | jove [08:47] jove: 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] jove: 10.04 Yay! :) [08:47] Klevre: andLinux? Yeah o_O indeed, forgot it [08:47] hi, does anyone know what settings i need to build a package that installs to /usr/local/dir? i tried modifying the rules file with a custom configure prefix but that did not work. [08:47] It's a couple releases behind too (Jaunty) [08:48] bzrk: Totally depends on the software [08:48] theadmin: could you elaborate? [08:48] Klevre: ^W !! [08:49] Klevre: Or, rather, !-2 [08:50] bzrk: you should just have to do something like . ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/foo or I would use /opt/foo === Jaimie_ is now known as Jaimie [08:50] strings_: yeah i added that to the configure part of the rules file but it did not make it in the final package, though it was shown during the making [08:51] theadmin: strings_: red2kic: thanks guys, CLI-approach went OK. The only question, are there any specific arguments that one could use in mkfs.ext4 for the big number of small files in directory? [08:51] bzrk: you are rebuilding a dpkg? [08:51] in my case the number of files per dir is about 200K. [08:51] vak: Try... "for f in 'ls /your/directory' do mkfs.ext4 $f" [08:51] strings_: no i am building from a .tgz [08:52] forgot a done, but you get my point [08:52] bzrk: if youare build from source code. ./configure --prefix should work. along with make install [08:52] theadmin: i consider this as a joke :) [08:52] vak: Was supposed to be serious, however I'm unsure what you meant. [08:53] strings_: the normal ./configure && make && make install does, but not debuild unfortunately :( [08:53] hi, is it possible to copy panel shortcuts in ubuntu karmic? [08:53] I want to copy the shorts cuts from one machine to another.. [08:53] theadmin: Oh, OK. My partition will be used to store directories, where each directory tends to have a very big number of small files. [08:53] perhaps by copying a file? [08:53] hi guys, i have plugged another hdd /dev/sdd in while calling mkfs on another hdd /dev/sdc. The /dev/sdd has a sdd1 partition which shows in fdisk but it isn't showing as /dev/sdd1 - how can i make it turn up? [08:53] theadmin: appox 200 000 files per dir [08:53] !info checkinstall [08:53] checkinstall (source: checkinstall): installation tracker. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-8ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 112 kB, installed size 548 kB [08:54] vak: Ah! Meh. That should not matter. [08:54] strings_: ive read the debian new maintainers manual but i didnt find anything regarding unusual (e.g. non /usr) package building [08:54] bzrk: ah ya not too sure how you would do that with dpkg I dont use it when I complie source by hand. [08:54] theadmin: so, I guess there could be some arguments to tune?.. [08:54] strings_: ah ok thx anyway :) [08:54] Is anybody familiar with how to change the hostname in /etc/hosts? I tried earlier to the demise of the search engine on my server. [08:54] vak: "man mkfs" [08:54] !host | mikeliss [08:55] bzrk: if you are installing to say /opt/foo you dont need dpkg anyways [08:55] !hostname | mikeliss [08:55] mikeliss: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [08:55] bzrk: unless you plan on making a dpkg for deployment [08:55] strings_: no the package is to be installed on a couple of machines, so i want a package to reduce the hassle [08:56] Thanks red2kic. I tried that method, and I think I messed something up, because my search engine stopped working. My previous /etc/hosts looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain [08:56] 173.203.199.26 slice [08:56] So I changed slice to the new name, but that didn't do it at all. Where does the new name go? [08:57] cat /etc/hostname [08:57] cat /etc/hosts [08:57] strings_: found it :) you need to edit the dirs file in the debian directory [08:58] TimeRider: Not sure I get your meaning? You want me to paste them in? [08:58] in console [08:58] bzrk: so change the conf_args in ruls? [08:58] first should show your full hostname [08:58] bzrk: err rules [08:59] I'm unsure whether that's a Karmic or a Lucid support question, but is it possible to get Karmic themes in Lucid and vice-versa? [08:59] sudo cat /etc/hosts [08:59] 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain [08:59] 173.203.199.26 slice [08:59] % sudo cat /etc/hostname [08:59] slice [08:59] mikeliss: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:59] bzrk: please dont use crosspositings in #debian and #ubuntu. i gave you the infos you want in #debian [09:00] iceroot: i posted here first, just wanted to tell the guy that helped me out i found a solution [09:00] since noone here knew one [09:00] So, I changed slice to the new hostname (example.com), and rebooted. After that, my search engine stopped working. [09:00] Okay, I have a problem with flash in 9.10 x64 desktop. [09:00] Somehow I have it installed to firefox and can't remove it. [09:00] bzrk: thanks good to know. I assume you just adjust the rules file? [09:01] bzrk: how you installed it? [09:01] strings_: i thought so but the right place to edit was the dirs file [09:01] iceroot: build is running :) [09:01] ill install for testing with dpkg and if the path is right it goes into my repo [09:01] I've checked /usr/local/firefox-addons/plugins, and ~/.mozilla/plugins and any other possible place, and I don't see any reason for it to be installed, but firefox->tools->addons still lists it [09:02] theadmin: I haven't tried, but it seems quite possible to me. [09:02] bzrk: great for testing is dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [09:02] bzrk: aslong as you have it sorted out. [09:02] iceroot: nice, thank you ill try that [09:02] how do i know how much ram i have from the command line? [09:02] TimeRider: Do you have any thoughts about my hostname change? [09:02] AnxiousNut: free -m [09:03] Hello, can i ask for some assistance with 9.10? It seems i can't get back into the GUI... [09:03] AnxiousNut: You want the second line if you're actually interested in if your ram is full. [09:03] hello, does anyone know why pastebinit isn't returning a valid url? i'm using a basic "cat file.txt | pastebinit" [09:03] didn't read the full conv as just came online, you could always try a reboot [09:03] iceroot: yay worked, thanks a lot it took me forever to fix that [09:04] TimeRider: yeah, that's when things stopped working. [09:04] bzrk: :) i know the problems with builing packages :) [09:04] thanks mikeliss, that was more than enough :) [09:04] Okay, I've figured that problem out (it was actually in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/). Does anyone know how to get a USABLE version of flash for x64? [09:04] AnxiousNut: No prob. [09:04] what happens if you do ping *hostname* [09:04] bobthemilkman: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [09:04] TimeRider: Well, I put it back the way it was before the change and rebooted again, because I couldn't have the search engine down for more than a few seconds. [09:05] iceroot: that version has several issues with youtube. [09:05] I'm currently running ubuntu 9.10 and cannot get into the GUI, which i believe is caused by an Nvidia Driver, does anyone know of this issue? [09:05] bobthemilkman: working fine here on 9.10 [09:05] TimeRider: But...ping 'slice' gives unknown host, while ping localhost gives valid pings. [09:05] iceroot: With x64? [09:05] bobthemilkman: sure [09:05] you have other files that are tied down to the old hostname [09:05] bobthemilkman: its the 32bit version which will be installed [09:05] It causes my firefox to crash when loading certain videos on youtube. [09:06] Or maybe that was the version that doesn't allow me to click on buttons [09:06] TimeRider: I looked at the search engine config. It seems fine, since it points to localhost. [09:06] how do i get info about my processor, like Pentium or PII? [09:06] Let me play around for 10 minutes and I'll get back to you which buggy version that was. [09:06] AnxiousNut: cat /proc/cpuinfo [09:06] AnxiousNut: Whatcha up to there? [09:08] thanks iceroot :) and mikeliss i got an old pc, wasnt mine so i wanned to know the specs [09:08] mmm [09:08] AnxiousNut: htop? [09:09] nobody?! [09:09] mikeliss: it's useful. thanks!! [09:09] sheepz: no ideas, though I do want to start using that program. Looks very useful. [09:09] AnxiousNut: np. htop is the tops. [09:10] .lshw give detailed specs, install it [09:10] tp43: Since when do you need to install lshw? o_O [09:10] mikeliss: yeah, a bit more advanced than top [09:10] AnxiousNut: A bit simplier as well :D In usage, that is [09:10] oh, you do for debian, my bad [09:11] is there a trick i'm missing to deleting files within the terminal? sudo doesn't appear to work in this instance. [09:11] where are the packages i install kept? [09:11] Wren: command? [09:11] Wren: sudo rm -f will often force it, if sudo ain't enough. [09:11] Trying to delete a file within terminal, can't get to a GUI at all, deleting xorg.conf [09:11] Wren: But use caution. [09:12] Wren: is the file in use? [09:12] include -i :P [09:12] rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:12] Wren, Leave it === [Spooky] is now known as Spookan [09:12] but those files need to be sudo [09:12] leave it? [09:12] Wren: use sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old [09:12] if you wanna edit, you should back it up first [09:13] if i download a package using apt-get, can i just copy it to another system so i dont have to download it on the other system also? [09:13] всем привет [09:13] !ru | openlive [09:13] openlive: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:14] openlive: Привет. Русская поддержка у нас в #ubuntu-ru :D А тут инглиш [09:14] azlon: the package is stored in /var/cache/apt/ also you can use -d for apt-get to just download [09:14] ok, that's fine, but even then it's not actually letting me do that... [09:14] Does anybody know how /etc/hosts is supposed to be configured? [09:14] mikeliss: man hosts [09:14] iceroot: i am planning on formatting this system and installing 10.04 but i want to download some packages first. how can i force it to download the lucid packages instead of jaunty? [09:15] I've tried mv, and it states that i don't have permissions, and when attempting to perform the same task with sudo, it states "no such file or category" [09:15] azlon: There are packages.ubuntu.com [09:15] same exact one, not quite certain here... [09:15] azlon, when you download cd's, you can use them in the /etc/apt/sources.list, and then apt-get them just like you do over the internet [09:15] azlon: dont mix repos in your system [09:15] How to I get someone to put a launchpad bug on the "to-be-fixed-for-lucid" list? [09:15] packages.ubuntu.com is horrible :/ Hardly could make any sense of what depends on what === Guest46395 is now known as m-a [09:16] iceroot: i dont want to install them, i just want to download them. i wont have access to the net later when i install 10.04 on the other system. i think i will just try packages.ubuntu.com like red2kic said [09:16] yesterday my Ubuntu network cards worked and were called "auto (eth0) and auto (eth1)" in the gui interface. Then we had a powerfailure and are now called "ifupdown (eth0) and ifupdown (eth1)" and do not work, will not even ping. Does anyone know how to fix this? [09:16] I need to add windows 7 boot manually to grub2 (karmic 9.10)...since i cant add to the grub/menu.lst anyone got any ideas? === m-a is now known as Guest83045 [09:16] theadmin: thats the same problem i had. i looked at packages.ubuntu.com and had to open like 40 tabs just to make sure i got all the dependencies [09:16] azlon: You could face problems without dependencies. [09:17] azlon: Why can't you download Ubuntu Lucid LiveCD? [09:17] Does this make sense?' === james is now known as Guest6067 [09:17] azlon: the current packages from 10.04 are BETA, so dont download them NOW [09:17] red2kic: i have the Lucid ISO, is that the same thing? [09:17] azlon: use apt-get -d install to download only [09:17] azlon: then get the files fomr /var/cache/apt/archives/ [09:17] I've restarted numerous times already, and it begins to show the splash screen after grub starts... and then i'm bounced to a terminal (tty1) [09:17] strings_, cool [09:18] azlon: Yes. Just wait next week for final ISO. The Lucid ISO are updated daily. [09:18] strings_: will that download the dependencies as well? also, will that put them in the same folder as my jaunty debs? [09:18] strings_: Do you know about static IP addresses and loopbacks in the hosts file? The man page describes the format, but not the contents. [09:18] azlon: yes [09:18] can anybody tell me what's the procedure to install ubuntu 9.10 on IBM System p5 (POWER5 )? [09:18] Wren: startx [09:18] azlon: dont use apt-get -d on jaunty with 10.04 packages!! [09:18] azlon: dont mix repos [09:18] mikeliss: 192.168.2.100 foo_host [09:18] strings_, but where do the packages go locally, or are they unpacked right away, and you have to download again to copy over to another pc for install? [09:18] azlon: Listen to what this guy says. You'll ruin your system. [09:19] greenmang0: install the ppc version and install it like any other ubuntu [09:19] azlon: Update to Karmic, then to Lucid. [09:19] mikeliss: all that does is aloow foo_host to resolve to 192.168.2.100 [09:19] iceroot: yeah... i tried... but not working.... [09:19] iceroot: i get a strange screen [09:19] strings_: Right, I get that, but certain lines need to be there for it to work properly. Therein lies my question. [09:19] !doesntwork | greenmang0 [09:19] greenmang0: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [09:19] LOL [09:19] theadmin: wait... i think i have Karmic... 9.10 right? its hard to keep track of the names after a while... [09:20] wise_crypt - tried already, no go [09:20] azlon: lsb_release -a will tell what you are using [09:20] azlon: Uhm. output of "lsb_release -src" please [09:20] it states "No such file or directory" [09:20] azlon, there is a new one coming in a week or so [09:20] Wren: output of ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf please [09:20] lucid is new [09:20] theadmin: 9.10 Karmic... [09:21] azlon: Then just run "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" and tada. [09:21] tp43: i understand a new one will be released in just a few days but i really need to format my system. should i just install 9.10 again and upgrade in a few days or should i just install the Beta of 10.04 and keep installing updates as they come? [09:21] or was it release-update... :/ bleh, upgrade, update... what a mess [09:21] mikeliss: get what to work properly lo? aka loopback? [09:22] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 216 2010-04-21 05:08 /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:22] Wren: what it says with no go? > pastebin [09:22] bah, theadmin: same question to you... if i need to format my machine now should i just install 9.10 and upgrade in a week or should i install the beta of 10.04 and just keep installing the updates as they come out? [09:22] wise_crypt: Don't follow, what do you mean? [09:23] strings_: Well, right now, it has 127.0.0.1 going to localhost, and my static IP going to the hostname. I tried changing the hostname that the static IP is pointing to, and that broke things. So I'm trying to avoid that. [09:23] azlon: RC, not beta. But second one sounds like a better idea [09:23] Wren: you have answer it nevermind [09:23] theadmin, got it. thanks. [09:23] azlon: Unless you use RAID or Compiz often, because due to certain bugs, with them system becomes hardly usable [09:23] theadmin: actually the reason i am formatting is to recove a RAID-5 (fake-raid) [09:24] mikeliss: what host do you need to resolve? [09:25] Wren: output of "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" [09:25] theadmin: whats the deal with RAID in 10.04? something to stay away from for a while? [09:25] strings_: I need the current functionality, but with a new name for the machine. Not sure what hosts that involves aside from localhost. [09:25] Wren: use tab on the shell for completion [09:25] Like i said, even rm or mv on the xorg.conf file doesn't do anything, says i don't have permission, the moment i try sudo it states "-bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory" [09:25] azlon: Read the rc page on Ubuntu.com, has a clean explanation. Can't remember off top of my head [09:25] mikeliss: then justa add a new line for with the ip of the other host and then its hostname [09:25] theadmin: the package i wanted to download was mdadm, thats actually what started this whole mess... [09:25] theadmin: ok, thanks [09:26] Wren: can you log in as root ? [09:26] mikeliss: can you pastbin your hosts file [09:26] hi [09:26] help, i just recently installed windows 7 and i am on hardy, that is i am dual booting, i have a backup external drive that i use but I want to change it to ntfs so how can i get ubuntu(hardy) to mount read and write ntsf? [09:26] Wren: is try mount -o rw / [09:26] !who | Wren [09:26] Wren: 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 :) [09:26] zebastian: you need ntfsprogs [09:26] How do I make my Desktop Notifications (notifyOSD) NOT go away when Imouse over them? I'd like to be able to click them to eg start an instant message on Pidgin, etc. Like Growl on OSX. [09:27] theadmin: sudo aptitude install ntfsprogs ? [09:27] zebastian: yes [09:27] iceroot: http://paste.debian.net/70290/ [09:27] Wren: also try : which sudo [09:27] iceroot: this is what i get when i ubuntu boots [09:27] strings_: Sure. Not much to it though: http://paste.ubuntu.com/420900/ [09:28] Wise_Crypt: No, i can't, i don't know how [09:28] Hey [09:28] I need to reinstall a Laptop today, but with 10.04LTS about to come out will it be easier/cleaner to update from 9.10 or 10.04 Beta2? [09:28] is there any good network managers for gnome othr than wicd and gnome network-manager? [09:28] iceroot: it first gives me boot: prompt... when i enter "install video=ofonly" [09:28] mikeliss: ok under slice just put the other host same format [09:28] mikeliss: just swap the ip's and hostname [09:28] iceroot: then i get above written on screen [09:28] obscurant1st: /etc/network/interfaces [09:28] greenmang0: hm, sorry dont have a clue [09:29] If I have /boot -sda4 should I make sd4 bootable ? [09:29] strings_: I did that, it didn't seem to do anything, gave a random spitout of a man page [09:29] Wren: heh [09:29] iceroot, there is nothing like that in my instaalation [09:29] :( [09:29] strings_: do you know what the second line is about? With my static IP? === m-a- is now known as m--a [09:29] mikeliss: yes that resolve your static ip to your hostname [09:29] iceroot: np :) [09:30] How to I get someone to put a launchpad bug on the "to-be-fixed-for-lucid" list? [09:30] mikeliss: to resolve another host you just add its ip and then its hostname [09:30] strings_: which sudo returned no results [09:30] Wren: in tty type exit now you are at login screen type root and type your rootpassword [09:30] strings_: Why do I need to keep that other one though? [09:30] Wren: either your paths are messed up or you dont have sudo installed [09:31] Wren: try /usr/sbin/sudo === thomasn_ is now known as t3h2mas [09:31] Wren: try login as root === merl15_ is now known as merl15 [09:31] Wren: or locate sudo [09:31] is there any good network managers for gnome othr than wicd and gnome network-manager?, somebody? [09:31] mikeliss: you need to keep the other because services on your machine. will not beable to resolve its own hostname. [09:32] What is the command to do all your important security updates in the command line? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get safeguard ? [09:32] Hi! Does someone know why google on Ubuntu has a Ubuntu checkbox? [09:32] wise_crypt: I've never modified the root account of the ubuntu installation, so it is still set to default, with the sudo command, as a novice i've never performed anything as root without the assistance of the sudo command [09:32] Greetings. Remote Desktop Viewer doesn't work for me from Ubuntu to Ubuntu machine. It shows desktop with moveable mouse but shows nothing when I click. Suggestions? [09:32] Wren: boot up in fail safe. [09:33] Wren: what happened when you used /usr/sbin/sudo directly? [09:33] strings_: but the old one points to a hostname that I won't be using any more, right? [09:33] strings_: shouldn't replacing it work? [09:34] What's the best way to do something like "useradd" that won't fail if the user already exists? It's in a script. [09:34] mikeliss: only you know that is slice your current machine? [09:34] or sudo apt-get upgrade? [09:34] Wren: just login as root are that too hard for you other then that i can't help you with your sudo without you on its llist [09:34] strings_:booting into recovery, never did navigate to that directory [09:34] theadmin: ok i did that, now what do i have to do to mount ntfs partitions and external drives? [09:34] strings_: Yeah. [09:34] mikeliss: if that is your current machine I would keep it. [09:35] mikeliss: at best all you can do is change it to loopback if you want. [09:35] hey could anyone help me add an entry to grub2 40_custom? [09:35] Wren: or else run sudo su see if you can be root [09:35] zebastian: Just use uhhh... sudo mount /dev/yourntfspartition /mnt/someplace [09:36] I suppose. [09:36] I dunno, fstab does it for me :D [09:36] theadmin: but if im on gnome, wouldnt it be suposed to mount upon plugin? [09:37] zebastian: hm. Wait, maybe another package is responsible for mounting as such, but it shoulda be pulled with ntfsprogs... who knows though, I did not use hardy. Try "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" [09:37] I remove from panel (system tray) the icon of sound controller. How to bring it back ? [09:37] theadmin: whats the dif between that and what i just got? [09:37] zebastian: ntfsprogs is a metapackage with tools for NTFS device management [09:38] ntfs-3g is a NTFS device driver. [09:38] wise_crypt: Yep, it's asking for a password when i try to use su, and that's not exactly my password... wish i knew the default one that was used in ubuntu, but alas.... [09:38] theadmin: ntfs-3g is already the newest version. [09:38] !sudo | Wren [09:38] Wren: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [09:38] Wren: its your pass [09:38] Wren: thats why you want to use fails safe [09:38] Wren: in ubuntu there is no root so you can not use "su" [09:38] Wren: use sudo [09:39] erUSUL: your missing the whole thread [09:39] zebastian: *huh* maybe GNOME does not understand what to do :D Dunno, use the CLI to mount. You might of also have to use sudo ntfs-3g somedevice someplace instead of sudo mount somedevice someplace [09:39] Hi all, is there anyone here who is using Munin to monitor their Ubuntu machine? [09:39] hey guys, im trying to get sendmail to work, but its not working (specifically, php mail()).. are there any logs i can check?

[09:40] erUSUL: the issue is the user is haveing problems with sudo [09:40] wise_crypt: dont use sudo su!! [09:40] wise_crypt: use sudo -i instead [09:40] Wren: sudo -s then see if you can be root # [09:41] wise_crypt: output for "sudo -s" states -bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory [09:41] people stop telling him to use sudo that what his problem is.. he should either /usr/sbin/sudo directly or boot in fail safe [09:41] //msg nickserv ghost m-a === m--a is now known as Guest23312 [09:41] Wren: try /usr/sbin/sudo [09:41] iceroot, but its not [09:42] obscurant1st: its a file, not a command [09:43] Hi all, what's a good console app to pastebin stuff ? [09:43] !pastebinit [09:43] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [09:43] * wise_crypt scratched head [09:43] strings_: when i actually navigate to that directory sudo does not appear to be showing at all [09:43] Wren: just login as root is that too hard for you other then that i can't help you with your sudo without you on its llist [09:43] Wren: ok then you need to boot in fail safe and . apt-get install sudo [09:44] strings_: and when i type that in, it states that the directory doesn't show [09:44] states that it can't be found [09:44] erUSUL: pastebinit is not working, I tried that before. just tried it again. it just returns http://www.pastebin.com [09:44] ok, will try === Guest23312 is now known as m-a- [09:44] Kream: you have to use an alternative url see manpage. « command | pastebinit -b paste.ubuntu.com » [09:45] Kream: you have to use an alternative url; see manpage. « command | pastebinit -b paste.ubuntu.com » [09:45] ok [09:45] i got a folder in my hard drive, which contains many .deb files, im bringing from my an other computer with the same platform. form it /var/cache/apt/archive folder. [09:45] erUSUL: still doesn't work, says unknown website [09:46] is there any way for me in order to install all of the packages? [09:46] ahh works you need to give the full url sheesh [09:46] Kream: if you add http ? http://paste.ubuntu.com try http://pastebin.ca too [09:46] i want something like apt-get to install them regarding to the dependencies [09:47] Any idea how I can merge all clipboards? In gnome-terminal, Ctrl-Y, Shift-Insert and Shift-Ctrl-V all give different pastes. [09:47] Shafiei: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/*.deb [09:48] What is the bash command to check what disk drives are mounted where? === angel is now known as Etah [09:48] DryGrain: mount [09:48] erUSUL : it works. thanks [09:48] DryGrain: mount [09:48] DryGrain: cat /proc/mounts [09:49] hmm [09:49] erUSUL: Why would you do that when you can just "mount" o_O === m-a- is now known as m-a [09:50] theadmin: compare the output [09:51] llutz: Yeah, the output of "mount" makes more sense :P [09:51] there is an empty folder in /media/ named LFS. i am trying to mount a partition on an external HD named "LFS" to satisfy preexisting environment variables and whatnot. How do I get rid of the "ghost" /media/LFS/ directory [09:51] DryGrain: delete it [09:51] PCmanFm does not recognize any file type, and starts executing them. How to make it functional? [09:52] Drygrain: rm [09:52] theadmin: i've heard "mount" can lie in some situations [09:52] erUSUL: I see. [09:52] !pcmanfm > rocket16 [09:52] erUSUL: mount gets its data from /proc/mounts :: [09:52] okay [09:53] so now when I plug this USB drive in, it should mount as LFS [09:53] wish me luck :) [09:53] strings_: theadmin i read it in the lkml from kernel hackers. i trust they know what they where saying ... :) [09:53] oO [09:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woySeSNBL3o [09:54] aha! [09:54] thanks a heap folks [09:54] it worked [09:54] erUSUL: nvm mount uses mtab so ya /proc/mounts is more accurate but not by much [09:54] * DryGrain laughs evilly and rubs hands together and gets back to his linuxfromscratch project [09:55] YIKES. Deleting the mount point while device is mounted nearly erased some important data o_O Good that i managed to stop it on time [09:55] lol [09:55] theadmin: where does your nick come from? ;) [09:56] llutz: My nick? Well, I dunno, made it up long ago :D [09:56] I wish to make my Pen-Drive Ubuntu-only. Is it advicable to format it to ext3 or ext4? I really hate NTFS and FAT32. [09:57] llutz: Originally wanted the nick i use basically everywhere (13thSlayer), but freenode wouldn't eat a nick starting with a number [09:57] rocket16: ext3 over ext4 [09:57] rocket16: but ya ext3 is fine [09:57] strings_: Thanks, :) But isn't ext4 a bit more advanced? [09:58] ok my ubuntu slice did not come with a running cron, which cron should I install? [09:58] rocket16: somewhat but it has memory leakage problems if I recall correctly [09:58] rocket16: yes, but not for a thumb drive. journalling slows it down and costs more writes. [09:58] Basher91: strings_ Thanks to both of you, for help, :) [09:59] theadmin: just kidding, "admin" implies "i should know what i'm doing" in opposite to [10:55:02] YIKES.... [09:59] llutz: :P I usually DO know what I'm doing, it's just that I'm kinda sleepy. [09:59] I got a box up saying 'update distro', so I did [10:00] logout [10:00] exit [10:00] It said it needed to download 1000 packages :s [10:00] darnit forgot the slash *facepalm* [10:00] Basher91: you want "/part" [10:00] Friends, one more thing. That is, Ubuntu 9.10 installs in ext4 by default, and so I just used the entire Harddrive for Ubuntu-ext4. But, would it be faster if I had switched to ext3? [10:00] rocket16: i would use the jornaless ext2 for a pendrive [10:00] And now it's installing all of them :/ [10:00] theadmin: you aren't the only tired one :P [10:00] erUSUL: Sure, thanks, [10:00] rocket16: no ext4 is faster then ext3 [10:00] rocket16: ext4 is fine on a harddive for thumdrive you want to use ext3. but you dont have too [10:01] erUSUL: Ah, reallt thanks. I was thinking of reinstalling, :). Thanks erUSUL and strings_ [10:01] * really [10:01] hello all [10:01] hi [10:01] strings_: ext2 would be better for a flashdrive, not much difference between 3 and 4 [10:02] erUSUL: howdy :) [10:02] theadmin: I agree [10:03] hi. why on web browser i can only see Champs �lys�es instead of Champs-Élysées? [10:03] hi, i use a gnome panel applet to show me the cpu usage, also want memory usage? any suggestions? whats the applet name? [10:03] Ok, i'm going to sound like a fool, but page 5 in google and i'm getting annoyed, how do i get to failsafe mode? === peter_ is now known as Guest83229 [10:04] bradpitt: Maybe a bad encoding [10:04] daniel_tp: you can config the applet to show memory too [10:04] Wren: hello [10:04] Wren: at the grub screen select fail safe. [10:04] Wren: in the grub menu should be for each kernel aviable a recovery mode option [10:04] Wren: heh [10:04] Wren: in login screen , where you enter name/password choose session as filsafe [10:04] theadmin, yes maybe, and what can i do to fix it? [10:04] wise_crypt: yo [10:04] bradpitt: Try switching it around (for Firefox, it's in View - Character encoding) [10:05] geekphreak: heh [10:05] theadmin, ok lemme try [10:05] strings_, i tried that... there is no such option for this applet [10:05] Ah, it's actually marked in grub as "(recovery mode)"? [10:05] recovery ? [10:05] strings_, i use CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.28.0 [10:05] or is it actually past grub? [10:06] daniel_tp: ah try the system monitor applet [10:06] Hmm, will Linux XFS be nicer than ext2-4 in Pendrive? [10:06] Wren: where you enter your login name, see below says session type gnome [10:06] Wren: change that to failsafe [10:06] Wren: why do you want failsafe, if i may ask? [10:07] strings_, a yes thanks, didn't see that one [10:08] rocket16: overkillw [10:08] wise_crypt: :d [10:08] geekphreak: let it be he is want to mess the xorg.conf but dont have sudo so someone ask him to failsafe and apt-get install sudo again [10:08] rocket16: any journaled filesystem is bad for a pendrive becouse the journal aread will burn out quickly [10:08] erUSUL: Oh, [10:09] geekphreak: let it be Wren want to mess the xorg.conf but dont have sudo so someone ask him to failsafe and apt-get install sudo again [10:09] rocket16: you can use ext2; udf or maybe ext4 without journal === timmillwood_ is now known as timmillwood [10:09] wise_crypt: ok === saint_ is now known as Guest32900 [10:09] where an i find a usb creator that doesnt only do ubuntu iso?

[10:10] Guest32900: unetbootin [10:10] erUSUL: I am trying with Disk-Utility in Ubuntu, can it do that? [10:10] Wren: good luck then :d [10:10] so now failsafe isn't working.... [10:10] sigh...

[10:22] suigeneris: How about a "for" loop with some crazy sed combo... [10:22] abdul: rsync [10:22] after much confusion (on my part) I finally managed to add my windows 7 boot to grub (installed on another drive)...but when i attempt to update grub to grub 2 my settings are not carried over...is there a way to do this? *complete noob to ubuntu, but definitely liking it* [10:22] abdul: Also, you can use Conduit Synchronizer for some basic uses. [10:23] hello, someone know if "toutou linux" have a channel on this server? [10:24] i am having a-f files in a directory and i need only to copy a-e files what i have to do [10:24] abdul: cp -r [abcde]* dest/ [10:24] !grub | SiReN [10:24] SiReN: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[10:27] abdul: just adjust the placeholder [10:27] geekphreak: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob [10:28] erUSUL: thanks bud [10:28] geekphreak: use extended globs maybe [10:28] geekphreak: easier with zsh than bash/dash [10:28] abdul: First, move f files to another folder using "mv f*.* location" command. Then, you'll have only a-e files. Now copy all contents and move them to new location using GUI. Now, move back the f files to the location. [10:29] llutz: i mostly use bash, will check out zsh [10:29] rocket16: do you think that it is good procedure to follow up [10:29] Why is 9.10 doing a distro update, but reinstalling ALL packages? === OerHeks is now known as Oer [10:30] abdul: If not, try anything else.

[10:31] andrew__: reinstalling already installed packages? [10:31] geekphreak: Yes :/ [10:31] kiranerys [10:31] geekphreak: I just saw it reinstall firefox even.. [10:31] andreww__: Because the newer Distro uses newer versions of files. [10:31] rocket16: agreed... pretty sure im going to uninstall this and install pidgin [10:31] andrew__: does he load them or take them from cache? [10:31] rocket16: Oh, ok .. Odd. Thanks [10:31] andrew__: they are upgrading it relax :) [10:32] The problem is I need to use a vm, and virtualbox won't work for now [10:32] urgh vm's [10:32] azlon: Sure, this is mainly because Pidgin is extendible, while Empathy has no Plugin manager. [10:32] I need to use Visual Studio :/ [10:32] * geekphreak hats wubi / vm's [10:32] hates* [10:32] rocket16: exactly... === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [10:33] andrew__: That can't be natively used in Linux, but you can try Gambus2 for VB, and also, Mono Development can allow you to use VB# [10:33] rocket16: I'm using virtualbox with xp guest [10:34] This is a piece of coursework, so I prefer to use vs [10:34] Bom dia ! [10:34] andrew__: Nice, then it'll work. [10:34] It does :p [10:34] andrew__: But the RAM will get shared. So, I think better to dual boot. [10:34] What the link can I get the ubuntu 10.04 ?

Thanks. Think I'll wait before upgrade. [10:38] jquiterio: I won't force you, but I think better to wait for a few days, since Lucid is not stable yet. [10:39] gavin6000: Exactly, [10:39] Thanks Younder [10:39] anyone experience windows freez up cant drag or drop anything [10:39] in compiz [10:39] rocket16: thank you [10:39] gavin6000, it is released stable later this month [10:39] That said when it is released it will be a basisis for the supported ubuntu so it is likely to be more stable than Carmic.. Never the less holding back a month or so until the bugs have been sorted out has been a good idea in the past.. [10:39] BRc: Yes, that is a Problem related to Special Effects. Did you turn Reflections on? [10:40] heya. I accidentally my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Now I want to restore the default one. Neither apt-get install --reinstall not dpkg-reconfigure make the file reappear. How would I do that then?

Anyways, time to get back to work. [10:47] o_O looks funny when rendered as LaTeX :D [10:47] no it didnt [10:48] got to many windows open.. [10:48] BRc: I see, can you open Terminal? [10:48] ok done === pigorsch is now known as flopp [10:48] BRc: If so, type "sudo apt-get install emerald emerald-themes" and then "compiz --replace -c emerald &" [10:49] BRc: I think, you are using Compiz Fusion. If so, this will install Window Decorations from Emerald. [10:49] !emerald [10:49] 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. [10:49] rocket16: what is the difference between emerald and compiz? [10:49] i guess that answers my question [10:50] yes ur quite right [10:50] azlon: Emerald is the Window decorator, while Compiz handles special effects [10:50] compiz fusion iam using [10:50] azlon: Compiz is a window manager. emerald is a window decorator. [10:50] hey everyone, I am trying to write a udev rule which executes a script and sets some environment variables which will be used in the script. The udev rule is on http://pastebin.com/B3rnr8Vh [10:50] BRc: I see. I think turning off Desktop effects might help. Your Drivers are nit compatible with the ED effects I suppose. Happened to me in 9.04 [10:51] but $DEVNUM and $BUSNUM aren't available in the script. Any clues? [10:52] azlon: When you do apt-get install (w/wo -d), the packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/ You can simply copy all deb-files from there to a memory stick. Otherwise I'd recommend you look up apt-medium. [10:52] hey guys im not much of a computer person i am looking for some help i want to install windows on my laptop but it says hit enter to install windows so i did that then i come up and said there was no hard disk plugged in or any think [10:52] is removing that (/var/cache/apt/archives/*) safe?

I think, restarting Graphics and turning effects on will help. First use in Terminal "killall -user username" (without quotes, where username is your username). It will log you out, and take you back to the login screen.

[13:08] lol [13:08] c0rrupt0r: the sound is based on the h'ware which can be found with sudo lshw in terminal [13:08] macrosamurai: it is very handy once you get used to it [13:09] I was thinking of firing up vim [13:09] hatake_kakashi: I've tried to from th detect disks step, and I still just see those two devices. :/ [13:09] lupa: I am talking about RIDE [13:09] :P [13:09] macrosamurai: or whatever way you prefer to take notes, yup.

[13:10] macrosamurai: no [13:11] win was working till ubuntu was installed [13:11] which channel is used for ubuntu 10.4 dev? [13:11] orangejuice, oh well its probably to do with a fixed bug that used to crash the installer, now its probably set to ignore previously installed linux (possibly *ubuntu?)

[13:13] hatake_kakashi: is there a way to fix this? i'm in the process of grabbing 9.10 again but a full install cd [13:14] orangejuice, no, but if you're daring you can try to do stuff like deleting mbr (dangerous), etc [13:14] llutz i havea web page and the upload files most go on the first [13:14] fi3ei2: #compiz can help [13:14] dementor: then move /var/www [13:15] orangejuice, I'm pretty sure they don't allow it apart from being an old bug is because they don't want users to install two different versions of ubuntu on the same partitions [13:15] thanks idleOne [13:15] how the new theme of ubuntu is called?

[13:16] macrosamurai, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [13:16] orangejuice, actually, another idea - more safe, install onto another hard disk, and transfer the data across to new partitions on the first hard disk, edit grub accordingly [13:16] Just installed ubuntu 10.04, can connect to my wireless network, ping stuff but i cant surf.

[14:56] wookienz: Is this in a domain environment? [14:57] pzn: you won't [14:57] hello everyone [14:57] llutz, thanks!!! [14:57] greezmunkey: no [14:57] pzn: but why don't you use tar, saves a lot of space/time [14:57] I'm loving the new look of ubuntu [14:57] pzn i think dd might be more your thing [14:57] pzn: you might want to check out 'dd' and you can pipe it to a file [14:57] however have an issue with my display - ATI [14:58] wookienz: How does the NAS *know* you? [14:58] so does catting something just copy it as a binary file(folders and files).. just like cp? [14:58] pnzyou can use dd and pipe it through gzip too [14:58] Pici, vbox need BIOS configure for using hardware simulation [14:58] seems the standard/basic drivers allowed for the "higher performance transtions" [14:58] dd has "of=" no need to pipe [14:58] wookienz, h00k: yes, 'dd' will be smarter than cat > [14:58] i've installed that lastest ATI drivers, but now I dont get the fantasy transitions [14:58] :( [14:58] greezmunkey: i mount with -ouser=me,password=pass etc so it allows me to mount [14:58] sweb: You're asking about configuring vbox. Surely vbox's support channel would know more about that than we would. [14:58] pzn: you can use dd and pipe it through gzip too [14:58] parkie: if you cat a device like /dev/sda1, it will cat the raw disk [14:58] parkie: cat /dev/sda does nearly the same as dd [14:59] llutz, don't want to have problem with userids/groups and extended posix permissions...

I need to my os UBUNTU have a BIOS configuration [15:00] that [15:00] greezmunkey: any other ideas? [15:00] vbox use it [15:00] llutz: thats about my limit of dd!! ;) [15:00] llutz: cat just prints files to standard output, dd is way more exactly what you need [15:00] wookienz: you can, i suggest you do it in livecd [15:00] llutz, does tar handles extended acl? will I have trouble for recovering if the machine used for recovering does not have the same users/groups? [15:00] i am getting this error from this command dd /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 /media/bk/backup.iso bs=64k conv=noerror,sync [15:00] wookienz: i'd suggest partimage too as it will compress the data [15:00] ù* [15:00] h00k: cat on a device does the same as dd does [15:00] :mm [15:00] h00k: cat /dev/sda not cat /mount/bla [15:00] what is wrong with this command plse dd /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 /media/bk/backup.iso bs=64k conv=noerror,sync [15:00] hhheey [15:00] wookienz: can you create a username/password on the NAS that matches your ubuntu login/password, have you tried that?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [15:01] how do u mean if of missing [15:01] llutz, I'll stay with the full-filesystem copy... I think it will be slower, but I'll be safer :-) [15:01] sweb: I'm confused [15:01] egoleo: well for onw thing, it won't create an ISO [15:01] egoleo: man dd [15:01] greezmunkey: i could, but sholdnt matter as i map these drives on other nix boxes with no issues [15:01] is there a way to turn on ABE ( like on the windows Smb ) with samba on ubuntu?

[15:02] CarpeDiem: are you trying to make a backup? See ubottu [15:02] !backup > CarpeDiem [15:02] CarpeDiem, please see my private message [15:03] ty, jrib [15:03] rahulthecrazy: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger [15:03] wookienz: sorry, I don't - other than to say that it is obviously an authentication problem. [15:03] greezmunkey: ot get mounted, thats the thing. [15:03] CarpeDiem, that will change all the filenames, maybe you can copy and run "find" later. it may be slow, but it works. that is the line: find /some/path/ -type f -exec mv '{}' '{}.bac' ';' [15:03] greezmunkey: it gets mounted, thats the thing. so i dont think it is [15:03] wookienz: ot? [15:04] s/ot/it [15:04] thnx got it [15:04] wookienz: I would try creating a user on the NAS that matches yours, and try again to see what happens. [15:05] ty, pzn [15:05] @hook it says usb device not founf [15:05] renaming the files is my objective [15:05] ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/) [15:05] Copyright (C) 2006, 2007 Timo Hoenig [15:05] Initializing...USB device not found. [15:05] wookienz: if that works, you can troubleshoot from there. [15:07] wookienz: It may let you mount, but does it only give you read access? [15:07] pzn, can i just replace mv to cp? in "find /some/path/ -type f -exec mv '{}' '{}.bac' ';'" [15:07] pzn, that will make copies of all files in the current dir? [15:08] CarpeDiem: it's pretty pointless to do what you are asking, that's why I pointed you to the wiki [15:08] can sumone help me with the finger print reader drivers for hp ???/ [15:09] jrib, its a school exercise...I know its pointless but i have to... [15:09] greezmunkey: yes, can read, can even wirte directories just not files [15:09] wookienz: yeah, that's pretty wierd...usually wierd=permissions. [15:10] CarpeDiem: well in my opinion you should do the exercise, then point out a better way and why it is better [15:10] yes, a better way would be to include tar in the whole process and voila [15:11] ok how do i add my user to sudoers file [15:11] weva: visudo [15:11] weva: however if you just add your user to the admin group - it will have full sudo accounts [15:11] wookienz: I have to leave that to others, got to get ready for work...good luck. :) [15:11] ok thanks for your help [15:11] google is my firend [15:12] wookienz: yup!

Linux doesn't use C:\ [15:50] fluffman: it worked. ive i would like to learn C but i have no code skills what so ever. what would be an easy way to introduce me to code? like what language? it would be great if it connects to C ofc [15:50] about that ICS, on my 9.04 I just selected sharing on my eth0 and it successfully used my wlan0 internet connection for my computers behind it, nowhere near the difficulty in the !ics help [15:50] fluffman: sorry that question what no directed to you [15:50] hello friends can u tell me why virtual box giving me such error...fatal: no bootable media is found [15:50] more public [15:51] yogesh712harish: because it isn't finding anything bootable to boot with [15:51] hook: how can i sort this problem [15:51] mbruins: if you're just learning about coding, start with HTML to learn about syntax, then python...because it's easy and fun! [15:51] h00k its not a message from system, but from this stupid machine - it has a lot of server staff installed (raid configurations and others) [15:52] yogesh712harish: I suppose you're going to have to check your settings and point it to a virtual machine or bootable iso or disk [15:52] Guys is there an app that can do batch uncompression from a directory and then into a new folder? [15:52] Hi, when i press ctrl+alt+F1 i used to get a terminal console... but now its not working..Does anyone know how to fix this ? [15:52] i have checked this...i am using virtual box 3.0 [15:53] Can I tell "do-release-upgrade" to pre-fetch all necessary packages, but not actually do the upgrade yet? [15:53] Pici, I had someone help me set this up once, I cant remember exact though. something about symlinking /var/www to each home directory and then making it so each user's directory was accessible via the web. [15:53] yogesh712harish: Which operating system are you trying to install in vbox? [15:53] aplay -l give me list of devices ALC660 analog Digital and modem [15:53] yogesh712harish:type " /j #vbox " and ask there [15:53] pici: first i have tried XP [15:53] yogesh712harish: Do you have your XP install CD? [15:54] pici: i have its nero image [15:54] yogesh712harish: Okay, probably best to ask in #vbox then [15:54] when a program crashes [15:54] where can i find details on the segmentation fault\ [15:54] I might go back to windows server because i never could figure out how to access the other 168GB drive with linux. lol [15:54] pici: ok thank you [15:54] Dravekx: So you want people to have things like: server.com/~username/ ? [15:55] i dont want too, though... ubuntu seems a LOT faster [15:55] yogesh712harish: you cannot boot from nero-images [15:55] Pici, yes! :) [15:55] join ##php [15:55] er [15:55] -se [15:55] damn missing / [15:55] Dravekx: Okay, one moment, let me find your something. [15:55] s/your/you/ [15:55] Pici, thanks!!! :) [15:55] nm figured it out my speakers are busted on my lappy [15:55] Pici, Im starting from the beginning with a fresh install of ubuntu server 9.10 [15:56] headphones still work [15:56] I asked earlier about free mem in 'free' and SystemMonitor ## Here is great explain of it all: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [15:56] Dravekx: Do you have apache installed yet? [15:57] Pici, not yet... Ubuntu Server is installing now on the primary 128GB SSD of the new server. [15:57] hola === diego is now known as Guest41880 [15:57] alguien de uruguay [15:59] Dravekx: Okay, what you'll need to do once you install apache is to enable the mod_userdir module with "sudo a2enmod userdir" then add a line to your site's configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default that says "UserDir public_html". [15:59] Hi. How can i force ristretto to display photos according to date of last modification? [15:59] !es | Guest41880 [15:59] i installed ubuntu 9.10 with firefox and moonlight but have no video when watching silverlight/moonlight videos.. have sound though.. any suggestion? [16:01] Dravekx: Then, you can either add a folder to /etc/skel/ or have the users manually create the public_html folder in their home directory. Just as long as www-data has read access to it (chmod o+r) then they will be able to get to it by going to server.com/~username [16:01] Dravekx: This is tha page from the apache2 documentation that explains the userdir module: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/public_html.html [16:01] Dravekx: Poke me if you have any questions, I'm usually around. [16:02] Pici, ok. I'm copy pasting things so I can remember. It's installing LAMP and SSH now. [16:02] hola [16:02] Hi, I have 2 sets of files, all files contain approximately 2400 lines that contain tab delimited values. I want to couple the corresponding files. The right couple of files can be found because there is a major overlap in data there. (although in the first set more tab delimited values are present per line compared with the second set) [16:02] can this be done through terminal commands ? Or should I write a program for this [16:04] in short, is there a command that compares files in 2 folders and gives you how similar certain files are, or how much "data" of file 1 can be found in file 2 [16:04] sgsdfgs [16:04] when installing packages in ubuntu, is there a way to turn off having to enter a password to authenticate everytime? [16:04] helo === root is now known as Guest1303 === vds1 is now known as vds [16:08] ls [16:09] hi. I'm tryng to run parano sfv checek, but I get python error ( /usr/bin/env: python -tt: No such file or directory ). [16:09] what should I do [16:11] millertimek1a2m3: When running what? [16:11] lazymon: policykit might have a setting for it. I forget what it's called in the menu, but it should be under System->Administration [16:12] Pici, what?

[16:18] hi [16:19] Is better to install service on ubuntu with apt-get, or with sources (.tar.gz) ? If by packages, why ? === miguel is now known as Guest147 [16:19] Pici i found deb package from google, [16:20] m2rk0: Then you should see what support they provide. [16:20] p8david: usually by packages, because it allows it to be updated "automatically" [16:20] p8david: apt-get (the package archives) is the easiest way [16:20] it allows automatic updates [16:20] downside: it's not always the most cutting edge version [16:21] however, it almost always is stable [16:21] server gdansk.irc.pl [16:21] got it touch "`date`".png [16:21] wertwertgfhjrer: yep :) [16:22] hey guys - anybody know how to turn off the ctrl+alt+left shortcut? [16:22] it normally changes the workspace - not great for doom [16:22] <_pg_> willbe: compiz config i think [16:22] wertwertgfhjrer, touch filename-$(date +%F-%T) [16:23] can someone tell me good sfv checker with gui , where is possible to check folders what contain sfv files [16:23] _pg_ appearance? [16:23] <_pg_> willbe: install compiz config settings manager thru synaptics [16:23] right [16:23] in theory I have compiz turned off though [16:23] m2rk0: Install cksfv or cfv from the reposoitories. [16:23] (in theory) [16:23] <_pg_> willbe: there you can edit all compiz key bindings-there is undoubtedly an easier way, but thats the only way I know how [16:23] is there a way to enable connect to a wifi internet on startup [16:23] <_pg_> willbe: its still your window manager [16:24] I have like 2000 folders containing files packed with rar and including sfv and I need no check them all [16:24] <_pg_> willbe: even if desktop effects are turned off [16:24] _pg_ there's a keyboard shortcuts menu, but that shortcut isn't one of those listed [16:24] <_silentAssassin> organic: ?? [16:24] <_pg_> willbe: in compiz config settings manager? [16:24] nah - normal setting: just so you know I tried to solve the problem myself first :P [16:24] installing now [16:24] <_pg_> willbe: it might be under the effect that its doing, rather than under a global binding pane [16:25] right [16:25] willbe: Its either rotate cube or wall plugin in ccsm [16:25] viewport switcher I should think... [16:26] willbe: You can go to Advanced Search, click on the little keyboard icon in the Filter box then press the keybinding to see which plugin its bound to for sure === Rez is now known as LoRez [16:27] hang on - trying to find this keyboard icon /:/ [16:28] whew! server is up! :) fun part begins.

[16:28] hehe [16:28] cool - thanks guys :-) [16:29] soreau + _pg_ I just disabled anything value pertaining to desktop switching :P [16:29] arinda: synaptic package manager is one medium you can use to view packages [16:30] hello guys [16:30] arinda , synaptics, and the rest is on the internet [16:30] is there any way [16:30] to get ubuntu run WITHOUT upstart? [16:30] ya... but i want at official site or something else [16:31] hang on - now It's rescaling the windows with the same command :-S [16:31] Pici, "touch "`date`".png". do you know how to get rid of the spaces?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [16:34] I think this is a bug - I did a test: set the shortcut "maximize window height" to "ctrl + alt + left" but it was being masked by the compiz thing. I disabled that shortcut, then disabled compiz, but now I have the now removed shortcut when I press "control + alt + left" :-S [16:34] there is an extra channel for quebecois? [16:34] ok is there an ftp way of transfering files from one remote server to another? [16:35] willbe: You can go to Advanced Search, click on the little keyboard icon in the Filter box then press the keybinding to see which plugin its bound to for sure [16:35] QUESTION: Anyway I can make my terminal window be 'maximized' and on startup? [16:35] Urda: yes [16:36] soreau they're all disabled :-S [16:36] soreau: Enlighten me when you have a moment :) [16:37] Urda: Add the terminal to your session startup programs, then have your window manager always make terminals maximized [16:37] soreau: whoops I'm stupid... on it's startup [16:37] how can i change permission for directory and it's root at the same time? [16:37] soreau: so every time I need to open a new window, I want a max terminal window. I'm on Gnome and Compiz I believe [16:38] I have an SSH server set up from my home and other people have set up bots that try to log into my server by randomly guessing user names and passwords. I have a script set up that adds them to /etc/hosts.deny so it's not an issue for me really but should I report these people to my ISP ?? [16:39] edbian: report them to THEIR sip [16:39] isp [16:39] edbian, disable password auth and use keys [16:39] Hi, I just installed wireshark, but wireshark says there's no interface it can capture traffic on. How to fix that? [16:39] llutz, In your opinion are they abusing their internet? [16:39] kaddi: sudo wireshark [16:39] kaddi: run it using gksudo [16:39] duffydack, I'm aware of that option. [16:39] oh [16:39] edbian: they do [16:39] I had a wifi indicator logo at top right now its gone :( [16:39] k [16:39] how i get back [16:39] hey, i've got a dvr machine for a pub, is there a software to retrieve data of it on linux? like the enterprise pro surveillance system? [16:41] I think I'll restart and see what happens [16:41] Urda: In ccsm>Window Rules, set an always maximized rule for gnome-terminal or whichever you use [16:41] adalal have you tried http://www.zoneminder.com/ it looks pretty sweet [16:41] hey [16:41] ho [16:41] how do i go about killing the intel i915 driver on a commandline install on ubuntu? pls help [16:42] Pici, I enabled UserDir, added the line, restarted the server, but it's not working. :( [16:42] soreau: Ok, I see what I need to do thanks :) [16:42] Okay. My computer's sound craps out as soon as I watch a youtube video. What do I do? [16:42] get new speakers [16:42] kill PA :P [16:42] Its not the speakers [16:42] ! pulseaudio [16:42] Killing PA doesnt fix it [16:42] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [16:42] my lappy speakers died such a horrible horrible death [16:43] I think it might be an alsa problem [16:43] street_dvd, How craps out? I know if I watch movies in mplayer and then watch youtube (sometimes) the sound screws up [16:43] lazymon: Was it slow and painful? [16:43] lazymon: thanks, just a question, i already have a hardware dvr setup, does zoneminder simply connect to it, to retrieve data? [16:43] street_dvd: Does it make a difference if you play the video with mplayer from /tmp/Flash*? === marcio is now known as Guest76791 [16:44] street_dvd, I believe it works if I start firefox first, and mplayer second :) [16:44] costre: I watch a movie in youtube -> I close the window -> I open another youtube vid, sound doesnt work -> I open rhythmbox or mplayer, and the sond doesnt work [16:44] street_dvd, Ah, that's news to me :) [16:44] Sounds like flash fail [16:44] Really? [16:44] all apps do it [16:44] like [16:44] sound craps out for everything [16:44] street_dvd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:44] then your audio driver is crap [16:45] soreau: how do I get a better one -_-' [16:46] street_dvd: I had to get a pci audio card when my onboard audio crapped out. Its been working fine ever since though [16:46] soreau: I uninstalled alsa backports to see if it fixes the problem. I'm restarting now... *CROSSES FINGERS* [16:46] how do i unload the i915 kernel module?

[16:58] Oer, is there some gif/swf producer? i must include it on my site [16:59] i have ubuntu on my first partition and solaris 10 on my second partition.. however i am not able to find solaris 10 in the ubuntu grub menu.. could anyone help me to add solaris 10 to my ubuntu grub menu [17:00] Hi [17:00] cage_raphel: oh right uhmm [17:00] Grub 2? [17:01] sebsebseb, any possiblities to add solaris 10 to the Ubuntu 9.1 grub menu.. i am fairly new and have no idea what has to be done [17:01] cage_raphel: Clean install of 9.10 right? [17:02] sebsebseb, i am sorry.. curse my ignorance.. what do u mean by clean install? [17:02] sebsebseb, u mean to ask if the installation was all fine? if so .. yes installation went perfectly well. [17:02] hello, i need help, i had wubi installed, now i installed ubuntu on other partition and can't select wubi by booting... [17:03] sebsebseb, this is what my grub menu shows.. /dev/sda1 - xfs file system -- ubuntu is installed.. [17:03] i wanted to sync wubi with ubuntu.. [17:03] dima-linux: should have uninstalled wubi first , if you were dual booting [17:03] cage_raphel: I am trying to find out if you actsauly got Grub 2 since you didn't answer that. Clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 you get Grub 2 by default, upgrades from 9.04 people still have the old Grub. Anyway apparantly ( and actsually one of the o p s of this channel told me this before) there is an issue when it comes to Ubuntu 9.10's version of Grub 2, resulting in people not being able to just boot up other Linux distro's from it. Yes [17:03] Solaris insa't a Linux distro, but I guess it will be effected by the same issue. [17:03] ummm ok [17:03] sebsebseb, /dev/sda2 - file system unknown ( solaris is installed here ) .. [17:04] but i need data from wubi... how can i get back in wubi?? [17:04] sebsebseb, ahh! ok .. how do i find out if i have grub 2 on my system? [17:04] dima-linux: when you choose windows , what menu yo get? [17:04] i get the ubuntu and windows xp menu [17:05] sebsebseb, i do have startup manager installed .. [17:05] cage_raphel: well as I already said, by default Ubuntu 9.10 clean installs get it. [17:05] cage_raphel: if you installed from say the Ubuntu 9.10 CD, then yes you will have Grub 2 by default [17:05] but no wubi, it was 9.10 and ubuntu is 9.04 thats why i know, there is no wubi [17:05] dima-linux: yeah you should have probably really uninstalled Wubi first before dual booting [17:06] sebsebseb, yes thats right.. i installed ubuntu 9.10 directly from the live cd.. so i should be having Grub 2.. sounds good then.. but could u pls tell me how to add my solaris to my grub menu?' [17:06] cage_raphel: look at http://tinyurl.com/zb2as5 [17:06] dima-linux: I guess what has happended is. the partition installed Grub has gone over. the Wubi Grub and such [17:06] omg, but i have important data in wubi :( [17:06] wubi is the installer under windows, though? [17:06] yes [17:06] oer yes [17:06] llutz, unable to access the site.. this is what i get .. Error: Unable to find site's URL to redirect to. [17:06] Please check that the URL entered is correct. To learn more about TinyURL.com, please visit the homepage. [17:07] dima-linux: is this xp? [17:07] yes, i've xp [17:07] llutz, Error: Unable to find site's URL to redirect to. [17:07] Please check that the URL entered is correct. To learn more about TinyURL.com, please visit the homepage. [17:07] maybe you can mount the wubi image as a disk and retrieve the data. [17:07] Odd-rationale: can he do that ? [17:07] cage_raphel, url works fine [17:07] cage_raphel: works here, try again [17:08] llutz, sure.. pls give me a moment [17:08] geekphreak: never done it, but i don't see why not. :) [17:08] cage_raphel: Apparantly only Ubuntu's Grub 2 has the issue I was on about, where as the upstream Grub 2 would be ok. Anyway with the old Grub it was nice and easy to boot up other OS's from it as well, where as this doesn't quite seem to be the case with the new version. I don't know enough about Grub 2 to be able to be able to help you properly, I just wanted you to be aware that there may be an actsual proper issue, oh and i'll get the bot [17:08] to give you the Grub 2 link. Stick around though and someone else may be able to help you properly. [17:08] !grub2 | cage_raphel [17:08] cage_raphel: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:09] dima-linux: are you on windows or ubuntu right now? [17:09] on ubuntu [17:09] sebsebseb, sure.. thank u so much :) much appreciated [17:09] afternoon [17:09] cage_raphel: Ok np, good luck! [17:10] dima-linux: can I pm you? [17:10] yes [17:10] wassup, anybody useing 10.04 [17:10] gnulu : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [17:10] cage_raphel: You could actsaully install and use the old version of Grub in 9.10, but you probably don't really need to do that. [17:10] checking for KDE... configure: error: [17:10] in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. [17:10] So, check this please and use another prefix! [17:10] question not specific to ubuntu, but running ubuntu.. php script trying exec gs command doesn't work through apache but work though the cli any ideas [17:10] which package i need? [17:10] i'm looking to see if anyone has used neatx, freenx [17:10] i'm trying to test gaming wow remotely [17:11] rizzo0917: Have you asked in ##php ? [17:11] sebsebseb, that sounds simple enough.. how do i get back to grub from grub 2 ? [17:12] cage_raphel: Is that the 130 Solaris? [17:12] motd: kdelibs4-dev [17:12] Pici: you need to be invited [17:12] cage_raphel: Also that version is no longer supported upstream, so you can't get support for it in #grub ,but you can just about still in here. Well 9.04 for example isn't end of life yet, that will be October, and that's using the old Grub by default. Plus 8.04 which will end of life next year. [17:12] rizzo0917: you need to register and identify your nick [17:12] !register | rizzo0917 [17:12] rizzo0917: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [17:12] cage_raphel: it's in the repo [17:12] Vigo, i am not sure .. how do i find if it is 130 solaris ? this is what i got when i typed sudo fdisk -l [17:13] sudo fdisk -l [17:13] [sudo] password for krishnaroona: [17:13] Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes [17:13] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders [17:13] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [17:13] cage_raphel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:15] cage_raphel: However distro's have already began forcing or trying to force Grub 2 on people by default, and I guess that's since the old version is no longer supported upstream, as I already mentioned. [17:15] Greetings [17:15] Hello [17:15] llutz - im using kde3.. i have kdelibs3-dev installed already [17:15] so whats the problem [17:15] Anyone know via the cli how to clean up a filename by chopping of characters after a certain character? Basically I just grabbed all of smodcast [17:15] and the files look like this: [17:15] SModcast-93.mp3?nvb=20100423145835&nva=20100424150835&sid=42f5d1f5293ff3a1cc042bdcdce6a55f&t=09d91bca8dfb4d91f75d9 [17:16] sebsebseb, oh okie.. looks like i cant paste stuffs here.. shall i paste my output of sudo fdisk -l in a private chat? [17:16] From the forums, relating to Solaris and dual booting:> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1370607 [17:16] cage_raphel: uhmm [17:16] cage_raphel: no [17:16] jshriver: "rename" [17:16] jshriver: for a whole bunch of files? or just for one? [17:16] 113 files [17:16] cage_raphel: well you could, but the idea is to use pastebin and then give people link [17:16] !pastebin [17:16] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:16] can do it via rename or mv, but thought there would be a quick way in bash with some regex to do it [17:16] sebsebseb, oh okie.. wait .. let me paste it in pastebin [17:16] jshriver: read "man rename" [17:17] sebsebseb, thanks for your patience though.. i know i have been such a dumb guy with linux.. stil i am glad that i am learning something from u :) [17:17] motd: Oh right nice KDE 3 still, however that's on the verge of running out of support. Anyway I guess KDE 4 or KDE 3 stuff generally better off asking for help in #kubuntu [17:17] hi [17:17] jshriver: rename 's/\.mp3.*/.mp3/' SModcast-* [17:17] motd: when using it on Ubuntu [17:17] how can i know how much really free ram is available ? [17:17] iamleneko: free -m [17:18] cage_raphel, there's nothing "dumb" about learning linux [17:18] BluesKaj, thanks for being supportive :) [17:19] cage_raphel: Just of interest why are you trying to do Solaris as well? Ubuntu and Solaris are quite differnet really, so probably better off learning Ubuntu reasonably well first. [17:19] sebsebseb, this is the link in which i have posted the output of sudo fdisk -l .......... http://paste.ubuntu.com/421116/ [17:19] is there a way to see all other files that link to a file (either hard links or symlinks)? [17:19] in the terminal? [17:19] Pici, how do we read the free data ? === jacquesdupontd is now known as jacquesdptd_afk [17:20] sebsebseb, lol.. everyone asks me this question.. my bro is studying for sun solaris certification and we have only 1 system here..and i am crazy about linux.. so thats the reason i am planning to have a dual boot [17:20] Pici, i mean i can't have only 582Mo free on 2Go [17:20] cage_raphel: run solaris in a vm [17:20] iamleneko: +/- buffers line, "free" 2nd value [17:20] cage_raphel: dual boots are a bit sucky really though, virtual machines on the other hand :) if a computer can handle it. e.g. enough RAM [17:20] llutz, thanks [17:20] cage_raphel: solaris x86 is finicky about network cards [17:21] hi , i am unable to edit the fstab file even as a root [17:21] among other things [17:21] Pici: you rock [17:22] earlier i had added an entry for a windows partition in it , everything was working fine except a drive was not mounte [17:22] pranay_09: what error? [17:22] 565 Mo ram used with only xchat and a gnome-terminal is reasonable ? [17:22] sebsebseb, well said.. unfortunately i have only 768 Mb ram.. thats the reason i feel vm would slow down .. and i prefer a dual boot [17:22] pranay_09: can you pastebin the error ? [17:23] frxstrem: Thats a great question. It appears that you can do that with: find -L / -samefile /path/to/file [17:23] geekphreak: failed to mount a drive [17:23] cage_raphel: yeah probably with that amount of RAM vm's will be a bit slow or something [17:23] pranay_09: what i meant was , what error you get when you try to open fstab [17:23] sebsebseb, yes [17:24] cage_raphel: then again it seems certian vm's will work ok and not that slow with 512MB [17:24] pranay_09: what type of file system are you trying to mount ? [17:24] geekphreak: it says read-only file [17:24] a windows ntfs [17:24] sebsebseb, hmm.. but is there no way out to add it to the grub menu? i feel that would be a lot more easier than running a vm [17:25] sebsebseb, I would enjoy using VM but had yet to found one suitable for gaming with decent hardware 3D support. [17:25] pranay_09: did system crash? [17:25] cage_raphel: chainload it, as described in the link i gave you [17:25] exit [17:25] Does kubuntu use PulseAudio? [17:25] llutz, ok let me give ita try [17:26] geekphreak: a windows ntfs, earlier it used to show the message that unable to mount a drive ,but now i am not able to get into graphical mode [17:26] leagris: Virtualbox and VMware support, are getting there slowly with 3D support, it seems [17:26] leagris: hrm I didn't want to type support in that [17:26] leagris: after VMware [17:26] street_dvd, yes [17:26] pranay_09: your system seems to be messed up [17:27] pranay_09: did you uninstall any application, did an update anything? [17:27] llutz, how do i edit the /etc/grub.d/40_custom? [17:27] cage_raphel: sudo nano .... [17:27] could u pls help me with the command so that i can open the contents in a gedit and edit it [17:27] BluesKaj: are there any alternatives for Pulse? [17:27] street_dvd: alsa and such [17:27] sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom ?? [17:27] cage_raphel: gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom [17:28] bye bye [17:28] geekphreak: not afer editing the fstab file , but before that , i had installed the nvedia graphics card driver [17:28] If you insist on gedit. [17:28] T_T I hate pulseaudio, what do I do??? [17:28] pranay_09: ok no worries, do you have ubuntu cd? [17:28] street_dvd, you shouldn't be asking me , I'm an alsa purist so to speak [17:28] street_dvd: you can disable it in Ubuntu their are tutortials on the web and such, but then the sound applet or whatever it was, may not work properly and such [17:28] geekphreak: yes [17:28] sebsebseb, thus I tend to restrict gaming to titles working with wine/cedega or old dying linux ports like the ID software titles. [17:29] Are there any ALSA applets? [17:29] is it poosible to use zoneminder along with an external dvr? [17:29] pranay_09: using live CD can you mount that partition and restore fstab to orignal state? [17:29] street_dvd: in Ubuntu it seems disabling pulseaudio is a bit of a thing, but in another distro that I use as well, it's just disable pulseaudio in it's control centre, and done [17:29] street_dvd, there's an alsaplayer [17:29] !alsa | street_dvd [17:29] street_dvd: 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 [17:30] What's wrong with pulse anyway? :/ [17:30] theadmin: depends [17:30] geekphreak: not sure exaclty how to do it? [17:30] pranay_09: can i pm you? [17:30] theadmin, for example it doesn't play nice with skype on all hardware configs [17:30] theadmin, i have done that .. just wanna confirm a thing.. it should be .. # Chainload Solaris10 GRUB. [17:30] menuentry "Chainload Solaris GRUB" { [17:30] set root=(hd0,2) [17:30] chainloader +1 [17:30] }... is this correcy ? [17:30] cage_raphel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:30] cage come on man please [17:30] Ubuntu seems to be "suppresing" my mic input (no matter what version), that is, I can only hear the record if i speak like REALLY loud [17:30] How do I list the contents of a directory on a samba share using cli? ie.. "ls smb:///" ?? [17:30] geekphreak: ya sure [17:30] cage_raphel: if that is the right partition, yes [17:31] opps! sorry about that paste.. here is the link.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/421126/ [17:31] theadmin, depends on your soundcard and setup, PA works fine on some and not so well or not at all on others , it's hard to predict in my experience. [17:31] adalal, I created a launcher icon for /usr/bin/gamix and added a speaker icon /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-mixer.xpm to it. Not an applet per se as it only launch gamix and does not offer on applet master volume control as the regular pulseaudio powered gnome mixer. [17:31] I need to mount an imaged encrypted partition. I used dd to make a raw image file of a LUKS encrypted partition 'sudo cryptsetup luksOpen stuff.image stuff' gives me a code 22 error - any ideas? [17:31] theadmin: or in my case no problems with Pulseaudio untill [17:32] llutz, perfect! now should i check if it has been added in the startup-manager or should i reboot and hit shift key and check for the grub? [17:32] theadmin, make sure you have mic boost enabled [17:32] theadmin: uh I mean I had to killall pulse audio back in 8.04 quite a bit here and there, but other then that no problems with pulse audio ever on this computer untill 9.10 [17:32] BluesKaj: Where is that? [17:32] theadmin: it stops recognizing my hardware after a few minutes, alsa still sees it [17:32] cage_raphel: sudo update-grub [17:32] llutz, ok .. let me do that. one moment pls [17:32] click on the speaker icon and choose mixer / settings [17:33] theadmin: then I just coudn't not have sound for virtual machines, and I knew messing around with pulse audio would be no fun, plus I wanted to put another distro on here, I did and wow that was so easy to disable pulse audio and have sound working in Virtualbox again [17:33] Okay, "Input"... Uh... found it. It was listening to wrong device o_O [17:34] llutz, alrite.. this is what i got when i did a sudo update-grub [17:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/421129/ [17:34] cage_raphel: "grep Solaris /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [17:34] cage_raphel: menu.lst? are you using grub-legacy? [17:35] llutz: huh? I don't think that works this way... I usually do a "cat | grep" combo. [17:35] llutz, i dont know.. how do i check if i am using grub-legacy? [17:35] simple question how do I select all mp3 in a folder [17:35] when theres a lot of toher stuff too? [17:35] theadmin: "uuc - useless use of cat" that is [17:35] llutz, and where should i add this pal ? "grep Solaris /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [17:35] Kills: command line? [17:36] cage_raphel: just look what that command gives back [17:36] Kills: Search for files of type mp3 and select em all? [17:36] ?? [17:36] Kills: *mp3 [17:36] ok [17:36] the command is "grep Solaris /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? === ganja_ is now known as ganja [17:36] cage_raphel: yes [17:36] i mean with or without quotes? [17:37] cage_raphel: Without [17:37] didint work [17:37] :P That was an easy question [17:37] i need to copy all mp3s from my dvd [17:37] hey ppl wat is the command to view past system start up timings? any help? [17:37] the moment i enter that command.. nothing happens.. the cursor come to the next line with the $ prompt [17:37] Kills: Which directory is the DVD in? [17:38] Kills: find /media/dvd -iname *.mp3 -exec cp {} dest/ \; [17:38] Kills: Uh... I said some weirdness. Where is it mounted to, meant to say? [17:38] in incoming directory in a dvd [17:38] this is how it looks.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/421131/ [17:38] Kills: cp /media/dvd/*mp3 /path [17:38] llutz: man you are fast :) [17:38] geekphreak: He's a find guru, i guess :D [17:39] Wonder why shell does not eat {} in find *huh* [17:39] no easier way -.- [17:39] llutz: question any main difference between *mp3 and *.mp3 [17:39] geekphreak: idk [17:40] geekphreak: Uh, yes, first one will have all files containing "mp3" in name, second one will limit it to file extension [17:40] theadmin: fail [17:40] kills there is easy , open folder using nautilus, then sor it by type :p [17:40] llutz: ? [17:40] theadmin: "will end on mp3" not contain [17:40] llutz: ...rite. [17:40] what next bro? [17:40] i sort it by type but then i have to select mp3s one by one [17:41] cage_raphel: i doubt solaris was added to your grub, whyever it uses menu.lst [17:41] kils select first song, keep shift key pressed, then left click last mp3 [17:41] thx thats the solution i was looking for [17:41] Kills: Uh, okay, so the GUI way. In file manager, click on the search thingy. Type ".mp3" in it [17:41] llutz: menu.lst is for the old Grub not Grub 2 [17:41] sebsebseb: i know [17:41] llutz: he has Grub 2 [17:42] it seems [17:42] Hello! I backup my system with remastersys and now there are many files on /home/ramestrys/ramestrys directory. [17:42] which one is going to be write on dvd ? just the iso file ? [17:42] llutz, ok .. so how do we get it added ? :( [17:42] sebsebseb: fine, and why does his updategrub writes a menu.lst and not a grub.cfg? [17:42] llutz: oh ok I haven't looked at the pastebins [17:42] cage_raphel: apt-cache policy grub-common [17:42] hello [17:42] konq_25: Yeah obviously. As an image. [17:43] kunu: Hello. [17:43] cage_raphel: what version does it show? 0.9X or 1.97? [17:43] llutz: apparnatly he did a clean install from the 9.10 CD of Ubuntu [17:43] ok. thanks! [17:43] so should have Grub 2 [17:43] sebsebseb: fine, and why does his updategrub writes a menu.lst and not a grub.cfg? [17:43] sebsebseb: should i repeat more often? [17:43] By the way what's that weird squiggly thing in version number of grub2 for? I mean it is 1.97~beta4, unusual way of naming. There is no weird squiggly thing in versions, usually. [17:44] where are you from ? [17:44] llutz: nevermind, i'll leave you to help him :) [17:44] pls find the out put of http://paste.ubuntu.com/421137/ [17:44] Kills: worked?

[17:45] psusi: Oh i see [17:45] cage_raphel: lets try: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:45] theadmin: the squiggly I can live with. But what idiot names grub2 version 1.97 ? [17:45] someone know what's up with fluxbox that messes upp flashplayer in browsers that other wms handle great? :s [17:45] llutz: however Grub 2 isn't meant to use menu.lst which is what I was saying before basicalley [17:45] cage_raphel: add 3 following lines at the end of that file [17:45] motd: did you try kubuntu-desktop?

[17:50] ax-ax: Nope, that's why i want to make such a mapping. I'm in russia, yet i sometimes need to type german and it becomes a bleh digging thru charmap [17:50] will two hard linked files always have the same file permissions? [17:50] ax-ax: even on german keyboards, there is no such key. umlauts are characters on their own [17:50] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/emesene < it says it does not support webcam yet and it also says i have to llook @ amsn ... [17:50] llutz, pls take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/421141/ [17:50] but it seems amsn does not exist anymore for ubuntu [17:50] llutz: i'm swedish, and standard keyboards here have both åäö and a specific umlaut button === jacquesdptd_drun is now known as jacquesdupontd [17:51] just so you know [17:51] ax-ax: ok, we only have those 3 characters [17:51] wiiguy: i see amsn on mine >>apt-get it [17:51] in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. how to i get those kde headers, i already have kdelibs3-dev installed [17:51] cage_raphel: i wonder why it's added as (hd0,1) before, because thats the way grub1 counts... [17:52] ok will try [17:52] ty again [17:52] I want to know how Ubuntu 9.10 detects USB HID hardware for example a USB Mouse. I want to write a little script that gets executed every time I connect or disconnect a mouse. Any ideas would be helpful. [17:52] cage_raphel: anyways, try one of those entries at reboot, one should work [17:52] wiiguy: np [17:52] theadmin, llutz: anyway, what i was saying is that you can write your own layout and add any character on, say altgr-o or such [17:52] llutz, oh okie.. just wanted to confirm .. is it added the correct way now ? [17:52] anyone know the difference between the netboot install and the minimal install? [17:52] cage_raphel: imho yes [17:52] Shunt31: uhmm kind of I guess [17:53] what is the difference? [17:53] Shunt31: basically as far as I know netbook is when you can't install from CD/DVD or SUB [17:53] the tricky part is to get gnome, if you're using gnome, to use your xkb-layout when you're done it [17:53] Shunt31: then you like send the kernel from one computer to you're other one over the LAN [17:53] Shunt31: from what i can see minimal is command line system , no GUI , just base package, netboot support network [17:53] ah ok [17:53] llutz, ok .. let me reboot and get back to u .. thanks or your patience. [17:53] Shunt31: and download whatever packages you want, or something like that [17:53] Shunt31: I have never done a netbook, I just know a bit about it [17:53] !install [17:53] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[17:54] won't they release the minimal iso though? [17:54] Shunt31: there's an actsaul Lubuntu CD you can get for 10.04, but it's not offical [17:54] I know [17:54] Shunt31: however LXDE/Lubuntu is in the 10.04 repo's [17:54] I just want to install from the ground [17:54] cage_raphel: ctrl-w or x in nano? isn't help shown at the bottom? [17:54] up [17:54] Shunt31: yep , i prefer alternate, just personal choice :) [17:55] I broke fstab yesterday trying to speed grub up [17:55] So i'm in a bit of a situation [17:55] Shunt31: well hope you learnt to make a backup [17:55] llutz, it does .. but it does not give an option to save.. what i mean is.. there are many options out there.. but none of them says save [17:55] not that bad though [17:55] lighttpd broke after I atempted to install php: sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi and sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi and sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload. [17:56] No, i just format and re-install [17:56] when does karmix mount all drives in fstab? i waht to make sure my wireless network is up before it tries to do that [17:56] I've backed up everything I need [17:56] karmic* [17:56] cage_raphel: "exit" should ask you to save too [17:56] theadmin: you could modify yourself a pleasant layout for xkb, but i think that in newer ubuntus, you're forced to tinker a bit with hal settings to get them to work, and probably set up things in gnome too [17:56] Shunt31: always fix, thats way you learn more :p === Ken8521_ is now known as Ken8521 [17:56] cage_raphel: ctrl-x [17:56] I tried with the livecd, but I can't even get into recovery mode or a tty [17:57] there's less than 1 line of text at the top of the screen [17:57] huh? [17:57] I'd really need a picture to show you [17:57] when does karmic mount all drives in fstab during startup? i want to make sure my wireless network is up before it tries to do that so my nfs shares will get mounted. what file will needs to be editied so my wireless network comes up on boot?

[18:10] how to configure apache2 with phpmyadmin [18:10] iDope: /etc/udev/rules.d/ [18:10] Idope: then lsusb will need to be watched.

Next you'll be telling me smb.conf is for the chop [18:30] ActionParsnip: i think it would be cleaner to just have the wireless brought up when the rest of networking is (if it doesn't actually bring up eth0, then whenever it brings up lo) and mount the nfs shares when it mounts everything else [18:30] ActionParsnip: seems to be the "linux to the desktop" way, idk :( === bebalinda is now known as SiCuTDeUx [18:30] Lzrdking: submit it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [18:30] !final | ne7work [18:30] ne7work: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Lucid.

What are you trying to do exactly?

Only have to configure that router side [18:46] when i copy them in to /usr/lib/mozzila/plugins they don't show up as options [18:46] any help [18:46] and when i delete all of them from the folder they all work [18:46] Glassresistor: you can only have 1 plugin or they conflict and you get nothing [18:46] i mean flash still works [18:47] How do I reload bashrc?

I did try to use the driver provided at the madwifi webpage and the wlan LED started blinking but so far he does not detect any wireless networks. Also the Networkmanager applet shows that the wireless network adapter is not managed. How Do I solve that? [19:10] ok oko ok... [19:11] wolfgang: downloading a key from emule is blatant piracy and broadcasting such activities is particularly foolish [19:11] Arabus: try the karmic backport modules [19:12] ActionParsnip: meaning we should install the backport modules? Tried that, he does not detect the wifi card. [19:12] Arabus: does: sudo iwlist scan ,show access points currently? [19:13] ath0 no scan results [19:13] I do use a wireless currently from my other laptop though [19:13] Arabus: what driver does: sudo lshw -C network ,say it is using? [19:14] ActionParsnip: driver=ath_pci that one? [19:15] Arabus: you may have to blacklist ath_pci and ath_usb I have the same chip using ath5k [19:15] Or however its spelled [19:15] ActionParsnip: hmm ok that is in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf ? [19:16] Arabus: sure, you'll need gksudo gedit ,to edit it [19:16] ActionParsnip: k ill try [19:16] how does fsck work? it checks all partitions/drives? or only the partitions/drives specified? [19:16] hmm there is also a blacklist-ath_pci.conf [19:16] and a blacklist file [19:17] Arabus: yeah the ath file sounds good [19:17] ok. [19:17] Arabus: you need to get the system to load the right driver by blacklisting the others [19:17] ActionParsnip: hmm there is an entry "blacklist ath5k" do I have to remove that? [19:18] ActionParsnip: Ah sounds reasonable. [19:18] hey all - Twinkle (sip client) has no audio on Ubuntu 9.1 - what's the best way to debug this? [19:18] xpike: open up a terminal and type 'man fsck' [19:19] Arabus: keep that commented with a # at the start of the line. Remove the # from the other lines [19:19] hi folkz [19:19] so I would type fsck /dev/sdf2 ? [19:19] how would I find to display all the files ending in .cpp or .h? [19:19] and should the sound preferences app play and kind of sound when changing volumes? [19:19] ActionParsnip: there were no other lines so i added "blacklist ath_pci" and "blacklist ath_usb" [19:19] hey everyone, right my mates trying to send me webcam, but in amsn it aint working, neither in emesene can someone recomend a good video IM client please [19:20] Blocky: sudo find . -iname "*.cpp"; sudo find . -iname "*.h" [19:20] can I grep the output of two commands at once? [19:20] ActionParsnip: Do I have to reboot now or is there a way to reload the drivers without a restart? [19:20] Arabus: good stuff, you can check they exist with: sudo modprobe then try to tab complete the module name [19:21] Arabus: you can rmmod the modules loaded and modprobe what you need [19:21] ActionParsnip: theres a ath9k, ath5k ath_pci [19:22] Arabus: ok the remove the usb line from the blacklist file. I'd also blacklist ath9k just to cover all bases [19:22] okay I've got a file containing all the filenames, now how do I cat the contents of every file? [19:23] Blocky cat `cat fileyoumade` [19:23] Heey, what is the command to change the root password?

[19:23] !noroot [19:23] ActionParsnip: Ok I used rmmod to remove the ath_pci and modprobe to load ath5k [19:23] ActionParsnip thanks, is there any way to have two regexes in a single command in grep, as opposed to find?

[20:14] haavaros: is metacity set to raise windows on click? Check gconf-editor, apps > metacity > general I think [20:15] VCoolio: Thing is, it's usally working, but when I have alot of windows open, some of them become unresponsive to clicks on the panel, seems random [20:16] haavaros: thats strange [20:16] LinuxGuy2009: My thought exactly [20:16] Connected to vpn but unable to ping servers or browse the network, I am able to ping my out side interface is there something I need to check or make a change on I am using the kvpn to connect [20:16] haavaros: Does it happen when some specific app is started? [20:17] LinuxGuy2009: Oh well ... there's some other peculiarities that have occured lately, so I'll just do a fresh install when 10 comes [20:17] LinuxGuy2009: Not that I have noticed [20:17] haavaros: Other random probs? [20:17] haavaros: Tested memory lately? [20:17] LinuxGuy2009: Yeah, like the indicator applet suddenly losing the option to shutdown etc [20:18] hola [20:18] LinuxGuy2009: No, but that indicator problem is not unique, seen others get it too with 9.10 [20:18] any help with previous question anyone [20:18] LinuxGuy2009: basically, I have removed the openoffice.org-gnome package because it makes openoffice hard to work with under a dark theme. My problem is that by doing so I have also lost the nice file browser in openoffice, so I don't have shortcuts, etc. My question: How do I get just the file browser back in openoffice.org, without the rest of the so-called "gnome integration" [20:18] anyone have the screen flicker after coming out of hibernation? [20:18] haavaros: Oh ok [20:18] haavaros: I completely skipped 9.10 cause of all the bugs I had with several machines. Dont feel bad. [20:18] Lucid is much much better [20:18] LinuxGuy2009: Ok, good to know [20:19] mezimezim ever looked at nautilus? [20:19] I'm considering upgrading my servers from 8.04 LTS to 9.10 non-LTS, is that possible? [20:19] residentgrey: what do you mean? [20:19] mezimezim: or you could just use another theme [20:19] the file browser named nautilus that is already installed with the system [20:20] funkycat90210: no [20:20] at least for the ubuntu flavor [20:20] residentgrey: OK, I know, what about it? [20:20] you were asking about a nice browser [20:20] funkycat90210: only if you want to install from zero [20:20] mezimezim: Well if you removed openoffice.org-gnome and the shortcuts are gone then that is exactly what is needed to get them. [20:20] !upgrade [20:20] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [20:20] hey guys is it possible to convert an ubuntu system to xubuntu? [20:21] residentgrey: Yes [20:21] residentgrey: Install xubuntu-desktop, roll [20:21] mezimezim: If you dont like the dark theme then just change the theme [20:21] xangua, darn.. that throws a wrench into things here hmm [20:21] sudo tasksel way? [20:21] residentgrey: yes install xfce [20:21] linuxguy2009: the theme is very fine on every other program! [20:21] residentgrey: No [20:22] mezimezim: Well those are pretty much your choices I think. [20:22] residentgrey: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [20:22] residentgrey: you can install the xfce dektop: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:22] I want to play sound from mplayer to my pcspkr; how can I do this? [20:23] xangua, according to here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes I can go from 8.04LTS to 8.10, i guess from there I can go to 9.10 non lts? [20:23] actually anyone know how to reinstall radeon drivers from the command line, as my xubuntu install will not load in full mode [20:23] mezimezim: Tried looking in options color schemes? [20:23] funkycat90210: when 10.04 comes out, you will be able to go from 8.04 to 10.04 because they are both LTS releases. In your place, I would wait a couple of months for 10.04 to stabilize, and then consider upgrading. Are you unhappy with 8.04 for some reason? [20:23] funkycat90210: Im using Lucid since Beta1 and love it. No major issues to speak of. [20:23] f [20:23] Losha, well i haven't run into problems yet, but I was running into centos problems with really old RPMs, so I figured I could avoid that with non-LTS ubuntu [20:24] funkycat90210: no, from 8.10 you will need to upgrade to 9.04 and then to 9.10 [20:24] xangua, got it [20:24] lemme see if 8.04LTS has the bucardo packages i need, perhaps 8.04LTS updates its packages more often [20:26] funkycat90210: now I'm confused. What does centos/rpms have to do with ubuntu 8.04 LTS ? [20:27] Losha: He said centos has really old packages. Ubuntu has newer/ [20:27] isn't centos a variant? [20:27] residentgrey: No [20:27] residentgrey: centos isn't a debian derivative like ubuntu... [20:27] ok [20:28] hello anybody [20:28] what is the program in the ubuntu flavor that handles the theming called? i would love to have it on my other setup [20:28] LinuxGuy2009: stability vs. new features. It's always a trade-off.... [20:29] HELLO [20:29] Losha, nevermind sorry for confusing.. but when I try to install the open source bucardo I get: Warning: prerequisite ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.32 not found. We have 6.3001. .... but 9.10 has the right version. The LTS releases don't update fast enough for me [20:29] !hi | karl_ [20:29] karl_: 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! [20:29] residentgrey: gnome-appearance-properties? guess it's part of some package though [20:29] Losha: Thanks captain obvious! :P [20:29] do you know how i download a program to use windows software please [20:29] prolly grouped in with gnome only... [20:30] residentgrey: Like eye candy packages? [20:30] karl_: look in software center for wine [20:30] funkycat90210: Got it... [20:30] residentgrey: it needs the gnome-settings-daemon also, use lxappearance instead [20:30] karl_: or the newest version can be had by adding the winehq repo and then installing. [20:30] is here anyone with this problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/270798 [20:30] i just like the way themes are managed better than xubuntu's [20:30] !wine | karl_ [20:30] karl_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [20:31] i have got wine but it doesnt work on the program i am trying to use === christian is now known as Guest76653 [20:31] anyone have knowledge on vpn setup? [20:31] !appdb | karl_ [20:31] karl_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [20:32] karl_: ask in #winehq for specific help with wine [20:32] ombra: 10.04 will be released in 6 days and it doesnt do that on my RC installation. [20:32] #ubuntu-de [20:32] from time to time the youtube player gets muted and i need to restart. why???????????????? [20:32] how change the cannel [20:32] hamzaatova1: Which browser are you using? [20:33] hamzaatova1: what version of ubuntu¿ [20:33] Guest76653: like /join #cnanel [20:33] :-( [20:33] hamzaatova1: 32 or 64 bit installation? [20:34] which audio device manager is the most lightweight? [20:35] bondiblueos9: you mean OSS vs alsa etc? [20:35] LinuxGuy2009: yes [20:35] LinuxGuy2009, xangua firefox, ubuntu regular with whole disk encryption. 32 bit [20:35] wow most of the upgrade instructions from 8.04LTS -> x y z -> 9.04/9.10 state that it will probably crash upon reboot. Given that these are remote machines I'll probably have to spend a day at the datacenter upgrading all the machines manually, d'oh === christo is now known as Guest6585 [20:36] bondiblueos9: Probably look at what lubuntu or xubuntu use out of the box. Best guess. [20:36] funkycat90210: wait a week and do 8.04 --> 10.04 [20:36] does anyone know how i can get a semi transparent panel like the one in this screenshot http://blazmir1.deviantart.com/art/love-is-in-the-air-159262599 I am using the gtk theme and it is just a normal grey panel [20:36] hamzaatova1: what #version #release of ubuntu [20:36] hamzaatova1: Try with regular firefox or google chrome maybe to rule out a broswer bug? [20:36] erUSUL, but what about 1.5 years down the road when that LTS gets too old to support something new I want on the machine.. i think that LTS updates are just too slow for me. === fra is now known as Guest77719 [20:37] LinuxGuy2009, i use reg ff but i didn't knew there is g chrome for linux [20:37] funkycat90210: Yes LTS are only every 2 years. But are driven for stability. [20:37] funkycat90210: do you know about backports? [20:37] trevor: right-click your panel, there are transparency options under the background tab [20:37] funkycat90210: you do 10.04 to 10.10 [20:37] hamzaatova1: Also are you using the adobe flash plugin? [20:38] trevor [20:38] yes? residentgrey [20:38] trevor: the dock is probably awn; give it a shot, or try cairo-dock, both are good; you'll need to set your window manager to enable compositing though [20:38] maco: not familiar w/ backports [20:38] right click the taskbar and select properties [20:38] LinuxGuy2009, yeah [20:39] select color and you can then set transparencies [20:39] hamzaatova1: Im on Lucid and havent had any flash issues myself. [20:39] I am using awn, i love it, the panel at the top though is transparent, and not in the same way that is in the properties menu [20:39] erUSUL, there's no going from 10.04LTS to 10.10 I think [20:39] i cant figure it out for the life of me [20:39] funkycat90210: sure there is [20:39] trevor: set a solid (not image) background color and then change the transparency/opacity [20:39] trevor: Trying to make the top panel seem to be gone? [20:39] as residentgrey said, trevor [20:40] funkycat90210: you only have to tick a checkbox in Software Soureces to get "normal" dist upgrades (like in 8.04) [20:40] xubuntu has a separate menu for transparency as well [20:41] erUSUL, hmm i dont have access to the gui, how can I do that without the gui? [20:41] I think there is an alt-F2 for that, let me check,,,,,, [20:41] LinuxGuy2009, how do i remove the flash adobe and get lucid? [20:41] funkycat90210: oops, that i dunno; ask in #ubuntu-server they surely know [20:41] hamzaatova1: Lucid is not a flash replacement. Its the next LTS release of Ubuntu. [20:41] erUSUL, goodcall [20:42] what does lts mean? [20:42] hamzaatova1: Will be finalized and released in 6 days. [20:42] residentgrey: long term support, every two years there is one [20:42] wow thanks [20:42] funkycat90210: there's always -X [20:42] <- is a nix nub [20:43] residentgrey: tls is just an ubuntu term [20:43] s/tls/lts/ [20:43] erUSUL: uh yeah that [20:43] residentgrey: you can jump from lts to lts versions, other releases you need to upgrade one by one; fresh installs recommended though [20:43] residentgrey: whoops [20:44] erUSUL: Yes, the Alt-f2 can do it. [20:44] LinuxGuy2009, the next release of ubuntu? so fast? i'm happy [20:44] hamzaatova1: Yep it runs great too. [20:44] what do I need to back up in order to reclaim what I did to my system? I need to reinstall xubuntu on my other partition and I don't want my settings to erase [20:45] except for the mac like window buttons which frustrates me [20:45] residentgrey: by reinstalling xubuntu you mean as in reinstalling the os? [20:45] residentgrey: copy and paste /home to an external drive. Copy and paste back after fresh install. [20:45] is there an option to change it back to the old way? [20:45] what about config? [20:45] !reverting [20:46] !backup | residentgrey [20:46] residentgrey: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [20:46] babu: gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [20:46] no joy, oh well :), you can downgrade some packages sometimes, but downgrading or wiping is not really possible [20:46] Oh cool thanks LinuxGuy2009 [20:46] aside from purging a package and forcibly reinstalling it or doing a clean install [20:46] hi, how do i start a program in xterm to be able to use the terminal afterwards [20:46] babu: your welcome [20:47] albert__: add a & [20:47] also anyone have problems playing games? a lot of games I installed before just dont run [20:47] hi. is there some new multi-protocol messenger for linux out there? [20:47] residentgrey: You can usually just backup the Home folder, but I always suggest a full backup before making any system changes. [20:47] thanks [20:47] you can use this command: update-manager -d and upgrade the system without losing your settings or files [20:47] is there anyone that can help me setup pan to download from newsgroups [20:47] albert__: you can control what job runs in the foreground also with fg and bg, and ctrl-Z to pause a current fg process [20:47] I still don't know where everything goes for each given program so it's hard to understand right now [20:47] BrutusGosdric: pidgin, empathy, kopete [20:47] upgrade to lucid that is [20:48] xand, i mean a new one [20:48] residentgrey: all user created content including application preferences are stored in /home [20:48] ah, thanks [20:48] xangua, i heard about a new one [20:48] what about the stuff in /etc? [20:49] residentgrey: Well if you made changes in /etc then you can back those up as well. [20:49] residentgrey: It is a learning curve as well as a forgetting curve, this Package does NOT rely on 14 blobs to run, is rather neat and clean. === doc`_ is now known as doc` [20:49] residentgrey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard explains the structure [20:49] im gonna try for lpi certs someday [20:50] acicula, how do i unpause a process? ;D [20:50] residentgrey: When you get more advanced in learning and use, you can choose to manually partition with a seperate partition for stuff like /etc and /home. [20:50] ah, got it [20:50] albert__: fg or fg , [20:50] idk [20:50] albert__: how did you pused it ? [20:50] ctrl z [20:50] any more reading suggestions? [20:51] residentgrey: google [20:51] lol [20:51] can someone trouble shoot pan [20:51] albert__: well fg or bg /PID will do [20:51] How do I make Rythmbox re-scan the files for tags? [20:51] percey: pan? === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [20:51] yeah, i just understood the thing with pause and unpause [20:51] Pupeno: there is a menu option to monitor changes in your mucid folder for example [20:51] music* [20:52] thank you [20:52] LinuxGuy2009: what is mucid? [20:52] residentgrey: three days or more on the forums, to get started, after you have learned, please help others with what you have learned. [20:52] i am trying to connect to my newserver but it sits on connecting === poutine is now known as Yahweh [20:52] Pupeno: music* [20:52] vigo I try [20:52] Pupeno: If you add new tracks then it will see them and add them to your rhythmbox library automatically. [20:53] LinuxGuy2009: oh, ok... it doesn't seem to be re-scanning the files though. [20:53] residentgrey: It is an ongoing process, I learn every day or it is a day wasted. [20:53] Pupeno: Rescanning for what? [20:53] hi all === ghost is now known as Guest31446 [20:53] Pupeno: Are you trying to tag your files [20:53] !hi > ghost [20:53] LinuxGuy2009: for the new tags I've just modified. [20:53] Pupeno: EasyTag [20:54] LinuxGuy2009: yes, I used easytag to modify them. [20:54] Pupeno:Ok so what part of the tag does it not see? [20:54] !hi > Guest31446 [20:54] Guest31446, please see my private message [20:54] I am trying to copy a file in to my lib/firmware folder and cant because of permissions. I THOUGHT I am logged in as root. [20:54] LinuxGuy2009: I don't know, I can't find the files, it doesn't see the album for sure. [20:54] Guest31446: gksudo nautilus [20:54] Can I do it through X? Or do I need to do it through terminal? [20:55] Pupeno: Is the album in your music folder? [20:55] !google gksudo [20:55] Guest31446: Use Alt+F2 and type "gksudo nautilus" [20:55] LinuxGuy2009: no, as far as I know. [20:55] I dont know the commmand through term. though [20:55] !triggers [20:55] Guest31446: That is not advised. [20:55] !help [20:55] 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. :-) [20:55] LinuxGuy2009: it was imported manually. [20:55] !msthebot | residentgrey [20:55] !root [20:55] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:55] residentgrey: there is no google factoid because we do not just throw google at people [20:55] Pupeno: Then unless you add it manually by dragging and dropping it wont see it. It cant magically know where all your music tracks are. [20:55] !msgthebot > residentgrey [20:55] residentgrey, please see my private message [20:55] LinuxGuy2009: I already did that! [20:56] ? [20:56] ubottu, yeah but to change folder setting you need to make a root with a password [20:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:56] Pupeno: Its not seeing the album as in any of the tracks or it doesnt see the album 'tag'? [20:56] !google > residentgrey [20:56] residentgrey, please see my private message [20:56] LinuxGuy2009: I know it's not magic. I added the files, they didn't have any tags so it's impossible to find those tracks, I added the tags, but Rythmbox didn't update it's database to have their new tags. [20:56] !factoids > residentgrey [20:57] Guest31446: what command are you using to copy, and what does whoami in a terminal say. running standard gui aps like nautilus as root is not a good idea btw. Also how did you log in as root [20:57] LinuxGuy2009: it's not seeing the tag, I managed to find one track only. [20:57] What is the command to move a file from downloads to /lib/firmware? [20:57] Pupeno: Remove all track from library and readd [20:57] I was not trying to direct someone to google [20:57] LinuxGuy2009: I can't nuke my wife's music library for this, but thanks. [20:57] I was trying to get a google link for myself [20:57] Guest31446: /lib is a system directory where only root has access, so you can copy as root using sudo cp from to [20:57] Pupeno:OMG your not deleteing files by removing them from the rhythmbox database. [20:58] Guest31446: best be carefull though, it will not ask for confirmation if you make an error [20:58] Pupeno: Just drag em right back in so it can recreate the database [20:58] i get this error when i try to compile [20:58] configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found! [20:58] Please check whether you installed aRts correctly or use [20:58] --without-arts to compile without aRts support (this will remove functionality [20:58] melm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:58] LinuxGuy2009: I know that, still, I can't nuke my wife's list of songs imported for this. [20:58] Pupeno: Then your pretty much SOL I guess [20:59] melm: check your readme, and install the dependencies (including the -dev version) or disable features via configure flags as indicated [20:59] Pupeno: Thats how you fix it like it or lump it. [20:59] !SOL [20:59] ok thx === fabricio is now known as zavirbaf12 [20:59] windows me [20:59] anyone here having problems with brightness keys on there laptop? [20:59] LzrdKing: !holycow [21:00] #ubuntu.pl [21:00] UnNaturalHigh: Im on Lucid and no. [21:00] UnNaturalHigh: yea [21:00] LinuxGuy2009: SOL? [21:00] LinuxGuy2009, yes, I remember from yesterday [21:00] Hi [21:00] skihero, have you managed to solve the problem? [21:00] UnNaturalHigh: You can use the panel applet called brightness if you need that feature and your multimedia keys dont work. [21:00] UnNaturalHigh: best to search with your specific laptop model on the brightness issue, its fairly hardware dependent [21:00] UnNaturalHigh: using applets to control [21:01] i have a problem [21:01] Pupeno: Forget it, I already answered your question. [21:01] UnNaturalHigh: am on karmic [21:01] LinuxGuy2009, panel applet doesn't work for me upon upgrading to lucid [21:01] Does anybody know what LinuxGuy2009 meant by "SOL"? [21:01] UnNaturalHigh: Yeah thats why I dont upgrade. [21:01] LinuxGuy2009, when I try to click on any part of the applet it just disappears [21:01] i have a webcam genius slim 320 but i can't find driver for linux === jack_ is now known as jack_gone [21:01] shit out of luck [21:02] zavirbaf12: Tried Cheese? [21:02] LinuxGuy2009, well that is just silly if you can't upgrade because of regressions [21:02] LinuxGuy2009, one would assume that upgrading leads to a better system [21:02] what? [21:02] UnNaturalHigh: Tell the devs not me. I already know this. [21:03] UnNaturalHigh: Clean install does for sure. All I know is that I personally dont trust upgrades. [21:03] UnNaturalHigh : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [21:03] Lucid is still offtopic for this channel until its release date. [21:03] zavirbaf12: how are you determining it is not working/a driver needs loading/is missing? [21:04] zavirbaf12: also if you start gstreamer-properties and switch to the video tab does it provide any output? [21:04] Pici: Talking about upgrading isnt really offtopic, its a support issue. [21:05] LinuxGuy2009, well the brightness keys don't work on the live cd, so a clean install would most likely not solve anything [21:05] UnNaturalHigh: I agree [21:05] UnNaturalHigh: i use this echo 1|sudo tee /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness [21:05] my usb drive belongs to root.. how do i change it? [21:05] Is there a dpkg that removes packages that have not been accessed or used in XYZ amount of time, like three months? [21:05] UnNaturalHigh: I would file a bug for whatever release your running. [21:06] skihero, cool, I will check that out. thanks for the tip! [21:06] ka0tic: gksudo nautilus, right click the drive and change permissions. [21:06] LinuxGuy2009: Talking about upgrading to Lucid is offtopic. Please use #ubuntu+1 [21:07] !lucid [21:07] 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 [21:07] Vigo: sudo apt-get autoremove will remove all un-needed packages from your system if thats what you need. [21:07] Pici: No one said Lucid. We were speaking of the process of upgrading. Lets move on shall we? [21:08] LinuxGuy2009: Thank you, I was uncertain as to the exact CLI call. [21:08] LinuxGuy2009: sure :) [21:09] Vigo: Very handy if you like testing out stuff in the repos and then later remove them and stuff gets left behind. [21:10] LinuxGuy2009: I agree, that is why I asked, and I thank you for the proper response. [21:10] Vigo: Your quite welcome [21:10] autoremove does not check the frequency of what is used but just checks unused depenencies on automatcly installed packages [21:11] acicula: correct [21:11] wtf [21:11] compiled PHP 5.3 on 9.10 [21:11] and i can't get GD to compile with JPEG support [21:11] acicula: Do I need to add a timestamp call? [21:11] GD doesn't want to find the libjpeg apparently, maybe because it's named libjpeg62 ? [21:12] How do I export my music library from banshee into another music player, but maintain my ratings, date added, 1d3 tags, and other info stored in the banshee.db file? [21:12] Vigo: there is no timestamping of any kind [21:12] not like that anyway [21:12] anyone have ideas? [21:12] ok, so I want to be able to start 2 X sessions on boot, each with different settings, ie desktop background, resolution, and possibly different a different window manager....any Ideas how I can do this? [21:12] Vigo: Why would a time stamp be needed? Anything that autoremove takes off your system isnt being used by anything anyways? [21:12] <_pg_> any word on how long iphones will sync with banshee? [21:12] I like to ask, this way I learn. === No31Day is now known as No32Day [21:12] and from the same login [21:12] _pg_: check out gtkpod [21:13] you can check the access times on executables in bin/sbin and fetch the package names, but it wont do you any good, you hardly ever need init, but life sucks if its not there ;) [21:13] Is there any way I can export my music library from banshee into another music player, but maintain my ratings, date added, 1d3 tags, and other info stored in the banshee.db file? [21:13] Good one [21:13] best to just use add/remove programs to remove stuff you never use and leave it at that [21:13] JabberWalkie, GDM will no longer let the same user log in twice (used to be possible, but no longer) [21:14] after a crash in which I lost power, tons of files seem to be corrupted or have bad permissions. I ran fsck but the problem remains. Is there any other way to fix it? [21:14] is there a good way to check for wifi sniffers/snoopers with ubuntu? [21:14] ZykoticK9: not login twice, just start 2 x sessions [21:14] JabberWalkie, same difference i'm affraid [21:15] Travis-42: stuff in your home folder you mean? [21:15] sanguidex: do you mean to see if someone is listening to your wifi traffic? [21:15] elo [21:15] sanguisdex: you cant detect passive listeners, you can check the mac list/log on your router to see if anyones been connecting to it though. if you suspect someone is switch to wpa/wpa2 with a decent password and they will be shut out [21:15] LinuxGuy2009: everything. example errors [21:15] well, ill find a login manager that can do it... [21:15] LinuxGuy2009: I can't even log in because of permission denied [21:15] bondiblueos9: yes that's what I mean [21:15] JabberWalkie, this might help starting multiple X sessions on boot though http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mandriva-30/how-to-start-multiple-x-sessions-at-startup-124925/ best of luck [21:16] k, thx [21:16] Travis-42: Manually ran fsck on unmounted filesystem? [21:16] LinuxGuy2009: I did. still no luck [21:16] net.pl [21:16] www.onet.pl [21:16] LinuxGuy2009: It found and fixed thousands of things... but didn't fix enough I guess [21:16] JabberWalkie, FYI GDM will allow you to log in using 2 different users at the same time [21:17] acicula: this is more becase the the trace route form the coffee shop I am sitting in had 2 dodgy looking IP's [21:17] Travis-42: Then I might guess that your system would benefit from a clean install. I would anyways. [21:17] How do I export my music library from banshee into another music player, but maintain my ratings, date added, 1d3 tags, and other info stored in the banshee.db file? [21:17] how do I use snd-pcsp as an audio output device [21:17] LinuxGuy2009: sigh, ok thanks. Is there any way to reduce the damage cause by crashes? so that files don't get corrupted? [21:17] street_dvd: Well if you sync with rhythmbox and those things arent sent to the music player then its probably not supported. [21:18] does anyone in here have experience using idjc and jackd? [21:18] street_dvd, doubt the rating/date added stuff can be moved to any other player -- the ID3 tags will remain [21:18] Is there a way to see why a package was installed, i.e. what package depends on it? (I'm trying to figure out how to remove all games.) [21:18] sanguisdex: dodgy ip's? [21:18] sanguisdex, if someone's wifi adapter is in promiscuous mode, it's impossible to detect [21:18] Travis-42: If you worried about stability maybe stay with LTS releases? Just a suggestion. [21:18] k, well what im trying to do is have a seperate desktop optimized for vnc (lower resolution, no effects etc). So it might be better to make a script to start the desktop first then run the vnc server, rather than starting 2 desktops everything i boot... [21:18] rafaelsoaresbr: google for macchanger [21:19] I don't mean rhythmbox, guayadecque for example, then [21:19] aendruk with centos it's resolvedep... I don't know with ubuntu [21:19] Is there any way to install Ubuntu onto its own partition from within Windows? My friends CD drive doesnt work and it wont boot from USB, but he is seriously addled with virii. [21:19] how does changing your mac help against getting traffic logged? [21:19] !wubi [21:19] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [21:19] yeah, that will be better, thx guys [21:19] JabberWalkie, while in xorg simply type "gdmflexiserver" to get a new login in a second Xorg session [21:19] Travis-42: what os release, and what type of filesystems? [21:21] acicula: IP's between my self and the router [21:21] aendruk: Try: apt-cache depends and also rdepends [21:21] sanguisdex: there is no way to tell if someone on your network is watching your data, because it by the nature of the network is available to them [21:22] Losha: ext3 in ubuntu server 8.04 32-bit [21:22] sanguisdex: what do you mean between you and the router? [21:22] sanguisdex: which router, mind you if its just someones wlan its not that weird for it to go through another local router before being switched to the internet [21:22] werwer, Losha: thanks! just what I needed. [21:22] ZykoticK9: ok, thanks, Ill try that [21:22] which will show up as local ip addresses in your traceroute [21:22] bondiblueos9: hops between my computer and the café that I am ins wirleless router [21:22] How can I run a bash script under terminal ? like what command should I use ? [21:23] sanguisdex: if you are on a wireless network, then the first hop should be the wireless router you are connected to [21:23] 192.168.1.50 is IP address of class? [21:23] stryk3r: nano filename [21:23] stryk3r: bash script [21:23] stryk3r: sudo sh script.sh [21:23] stryk3r: start the new file with #!/bin/sh [21:23] stryk3r: oh you said run, I thought you said make [21:24] Travis-42: hard to get a more stable configuration than that. The fact that you've seen widespread file corruptions makes me wonder if your disk isn't failing. Normall a power glitch would only affect the handful of files that are open, and the ext3 journal takes care of them. Consider running smartmontools on your drives... [21:24] lol so sh script would do it ? [21:24] stryk3r: sudo sh script.sh (Thats how to run a script) [21:24] Losha: ok thanks for the help, I'll look into it [21:24] not every script needs root(sudo) [21:24] thanks LinuxGuy2009 and bondiblueos9 [21:24] true [21:24] welcome [21:24] acicula, this one does though [21:24] ah then it helps :) [21:24] :) [21:25] #This script will try to download, and install sabnzbdplus and OpenFTD [21:25] its a script a friend of mine did [21:25] How do I get floodbot to list factoids? [21:26] or ubottu? [21:26] !factoids | LinuxGuy2009 [21:26] LinuxGuy2009: 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 [21:26] Losha: Thanks dude [21:26] LinuxGuy2009: much easier to read factoids at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [21:26] thats cool [21:27] heh [21:27] just wondering, will ubuntu stop me from processing rm -rf / ? [21:27] stryk3r: no [21:27] !danger [21:27] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [21:27] acicula, lol ok making sure [21:27] stryk3r: yes it will [21:27] maybe I'll try that next time I'm ready for a reinstall [21:28] will it or won't it ? [21:28] stryk3r: not ubuntu; rm will refuse to run [21:28] stryk3r: I hope your friend is trustworthy. Otherwise, that script could do *anything*... [21:28] stryk3r: nothing funny here [21:28] erUSUL: even when run as root? === david__ is now known as doc` [21:28] plenty of fun here [21:28] Losha, lol yea I was looking at the script. There is one that says "rm -rf $OPENFTD but I guess thats to erase a temp folder? [21:28] acicula: yes; you have to pass --no-preserve-root see "man rm" [21:29] erUSUL: wicked, i did not know that [21:29] stryk3r: I hope so. Where does OPENFTD get assigned? [21:29] acicula: easy to bypass just use /* instead of just / [21:29] OPENFTD=openftd-1.2.1.tar.bz2 Losha [21:29] acicula: recent thing. [21:29] stryk3r: looks ok then... [21:29] erUSUL: does it apply to all root points or just / ? [21:30] oh just / if i read the man page correctly [21:30] acicula: ther is only one root :) [21:30] Losha, http://pastebin.org/170992 [21:30] looks like cleanup tar.bz2 after install [21:30] !root [21:30] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:30] erUSUL: cat /proc/mount :P [21:30] us ysh a shell ? [21:31] is ysh a shell ? [21:31] stryk3r: looks kosher enough... [21:31] Losha, great, thanks for looking at it [21:31] can I play sound from my pc speaker? [21:31] bondiblueos9: On some machines yes. [21:31] bodiblueos9: idk, but why would you want to? [21:31] hi im looking for a gnome-applet that shows my battery status [21:31] LinuxGuy2009: ok, how [21:32] ardian: interactive YAML interpreter [21:32] ardian: google says it's some kind of test shell, whatever that is... [21:32] bwallen: because this machine has no sound card [21:32] thanks much [21:32] bondiblueos9: so you mean just the BEEP sound right? [21:32] erUSUL: i meant the root of a fs, not the / root, there's a sneaky one hiding under / though [21:32] bondiblueos9: Some audio devices will have some random fader in the audio mixer for the volume of the internal speaker. [21:32] maco: no, I mean low quality wav files [21:32] acicula: it only preserves / [21:33] bondiblueos9: ouch, that sucks. I remember back in the day playing wolf3d and doom which used the pc speaker... the quality sucks [21:33] bondiblueos9: oh... i dont think thats doable [21:33] well no you can /could program the frequency of the speaker [21:33] acicula: I do that to spice up my shell scripts :P [21:33] lol script error :@ [21:33] so you can do tones and stuff [21:33] wow i wanna hear about this... [21:33] if I want to move my current /home to another drive, is it enough to make the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab and copy the current contents of /home there? [21:33] stryk3r: pastebin the error... [21:33] buy you probably will go deaf, or rip it out in a fit of rage [21:33] tar-: yep [21:34] maco: thx :) [21:34] Losha, http://pastebin.org/171013 [21:35] guys do you know where i can find a gnome-panel applet that shows my battery status [21:35] apoth__: should be one in there if you do right click -> add to panel [21:35] apoth__: Yeah its in there. Right click the panel and add applet [21:35] apoth__: are you currently on ac? [21:35] apoth__: add to panel [21:36] im on accu [21:36] and i dont see any applet for it [21:36] apoth__: Otherwise on a laptop you need to change power settings from show when running on battery to show always or whatever you want. [21:36] apoth__: System->Prefs->Power Management [21:36] hmm well you can add a static applet to the taskbar, but the gnome-power-manager program should also display your battery when under battery power [21:37] apoth__: i think the default is to only have it visible when charging or discharging. if its just sitting there at 100% because youre plugged in it doesnt show [21:37] exactly [21:37] ah there it is [21:37] was disabledd [21:37] apoth__: Most likely it was just set to only be shown when on battery and not AC. [21:37] Which of the following Linux commands are you likely to use to display hypertextual documentation on a command? [21:37] info [21:37] man [21:37] whatis [21:37] define [21:37] ardian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:38] info [21:38] anyway its part of a set of indicators, is there a package that allows me to put it in the bar alone? [21:38] ardian: homework? [21:38] hi all people. someboy can apointme how configure my sound card please? [21:38] acicula, isn't that man? [21:38] maco reading LPI [21:38] ZykoticK9: man has its own weird syntax [21:38] man doesnt do links i think? [21:38] ZykoticK9: man is not hyperlinked [21:38] groff formatting [21:38] or something [21:38] stryk3r: actually, it runs for me. Try sudo bash -x [21:38] erUSUL, hypertextual is what is says [21:39] Losha, hm okay. [21:39] well thx anyway cu [21:39] ZykoticK9: yeah but im pretty sure manpages arent written in html [21:39] maco, they aren't so i guess info is correct - my bad. [21:39] Losha, "sudo sh -x bash-script" ? [21:40] stryk3r: That's not what I typed. I typed: sudo bash -x [21:40] stryk3r: sh != bash [21:41] hmm [21:41] another error. [21:41] http://pastebin.org/171052 [21:41] I have absolutely no audio, i am in ubuntu, with pulseaudio, yet i have no sound. [21:41] I applied for a scholarship for LPIC [21:42] CkhiKuzad: sounds silly but common error..... have you checked with "alsamixer" command that nothing is muted? [21:42] stryk3r: you have spurious carriage returns in your script which you can't see. Run dos2unix to get rid of them... [21:42] CkhiKuzad: sudo lshw -C sound [21:43] CkhiKuzad: Make and model? [21:43] I just upgraded to Lucid, i found that xorg and compiz use up almost all my cpu when desktop-effects are enabled, using the cosed nvidia drivers. It was fine in Karmic.

[21:46] CkhiKuzad: press m when you have that one selected [21:46] maco, i would hug you. but i wont. so i will have to say... thank you ^^ [21:46] LinuxGuy2009: if youre thinking "it says intel hda" concluding thing youre not going far enough likely... [21:46] CkhiKuzad: haha [21:46] CkhiKuzad: and turn your sound down so you don't blast yourself [21:46] i had my sound pretty low too [21:46] I did what erUSUL said and it made a new file, but i still get the same error as before, Losha [21:46] i keep it low usually [21:47] i dont have ANY sound xD [21:47] maco: No idea what your talking about. he [21:47] LinuxGuy2009, some ideas?

[21:48] yes [21:49] LinuxGuy2009, yes [21:49] PeterDrop_: Has it ever worked with 9.10? [21:49] maco: LinuxGuy2009: i too have intel-hda [21:49] LzrdKing: which means nothing [21:49] LinuxGuy2009, never [21:49] LinuxGuy2009, but iam smart [21:49] maco: sure, it means in an intel card [21:49] LinuxGuy2009, i can follow indications [21:49] "Intel HDA" is just a very vague spec. most laptops have something that fits that very vague spec [21:49] chipset [21:49] indeed [21:49] that doesnt mean they actually work similarly let alone are the same [21:50] PeterDrop_: Ahh.

[21:51] txs both [21:51] LinuxGuy2009: for debugging audio, the script at http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh is useful [21:51] PeterDrop_: oh you can grab today's CD if you want [21:52] i want to completely end the program [21:52] PeterDrop_: 6 days is the final release [21:52] ubottu, tell me about ssh [21:52] rafaelsoaresbr, please see my private message [21:52] CkhiKuzad: exit in each window, when you exit in the last one, screen will close [21:52] PeterDrop_: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [21:52] stryk3r: maybe it's in a different package in your version. What does 'apt-cache search dos2unix' say? [21:53] maco, thats the 19th. [21:53] Losha, nothing comes up in the terminal [21:53] how do i exit, it just goes into the main terminal area, with the \o/ at the left side, and the bottom bar thing. [21:53] daffyou mean 29th?

[21:54] oh, i thought you mean 19 is in 6 days [21:54] duffydack: in main or in universe? [21:54] maco, i have already installed 9.10 version, is any problem overinstaling this lucid version?

[21:55] PeterDrop_: you dont need to install it in order to test it. you can just boot from it and try it and then take it out and go back to 9.10. though with less than a week left, its likely safe to upgrade [21:55] maco i understand, txs [21:55] stryk3r: hardware testing [21:55] i will try [21:55] PeterDrop_: Yes I agree with maco its really quite good [21:55] stryk3r: ok, do this instead: tr -d '\r' < original_scriptfile > newfile (Note: all punctuation is important here. Please cut&paste the exact line) [21:56] I'm going to wait to install lucid so I dont get told to go to #ubuntu_1 :P [21:56] Losha: it looks like dos2unix is gone. at least, the command-not-found thing isnt picking up and saying what package to grab [21:56] stryk3r: have you pasted the actual script ? [21:56] bondiblueos9: #ubuntu+1 has the great same support as this channel does. [21:56] erUSUL, yea i did [21:56] bondiblueos9: I bounce between [21:56] whta server shoud i use with ntpdate for Romania ? [21:56] losha ok got the new file [21:57] hi there :) [21:57] maco: It's lucid: who knows what nonsense is going on there... [21:57] stryk3r: ok, now try sudo bash -x newfile [21:57] itworks !

[21:57] Losha, LOL. well I cant say it works, I can say it runs haha [21:58] Losha, i think i got an error.. [21:58] erUSUL: the problem is hidden carriage returns in the script file (as from a dos machine). Why bash doesn't ignore them god alone knows... [21:58] care to take a peek? [21:58] stryk3r: sure, pastebin it... [21:58] http://pastebin.org/171144 [21:59] if Iam stuck here with my ubuntu do I just throw in my prob here? I am very new to the whole thing yet [21:59] stryk3r: I don't think you have gcc/g++ installed. Try apt-get install build-essential and then try again [21:59] zuzie: Yes feel free to ask whatever help you need. [21:59] Losha: apparently dos2unix was a symlink to fromdos and the symlink was removed because in debian they're getting a package called dos2unix but we dont have that one in ubuntu [22:00] stryk3r: my bad pasted the wrong script is « sed 's/.$//' script > script_fixed » [22:00] erUSUL, its ok, i got the file to run :) [22:00] Losha, will do [22:00] !ask | zuzie [22:00] zuzie: 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. :-) [22:00] erUSUL: my script basically did the same thing: tr -d '\r' < original_scriptfile > newfile === progre55_ is now known as progre55 [22:01] well to start: this is an eee pc 4g. my version is 9.10. buntu works fine for a couple of days then suddenly when turning on it says error with the configuration server( /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exits with error code 256) sorry trying to translate as good as i can from my language... [22:01] ooh sed v. td [22:01] bah tr [22:01] hen I try to go on, it falls back to a login screen stating that the default power handling settings of GNOME are not properly installed. when i would login it starts the same cycle again and again..

[22:01] :) [22:02] hi [22:02] im stuck [22:02] zuzie: sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade (Maybe see if any new updates fix your issue?) [22:03] is there any command to run for terminal in order to compare the contents of two files ???

Yours will strip out the last char on a line if accidentally run on a non-dos file... [22:04] i give it a go.. although i only have about 100 megs free space :P [22:04] erUSUL, that could be damaging for a non-dos file [22:04] erUSUL, i want to compare two nmap scans in xml format , can i use this command for that purpose ? [22:04] ciao [22:05] Ge5i: could work depending on how regular de xml is [22:05] erUSUL thanks i will try it... [22:06] Losha, those http://pastebin.org/171171 last two make: lines, is anything wrong with them? [22:06] unop: Losha ok ok [22:06] I'm trying to get mplayer -vo caca working and its not [22:07] thank you Im off to try it :) [22:07] c u [22:07] stryk3r: you're missing the glib2 library (a dependency). You'll need something like apt-get install libglib2.0-dev [22:07] unop: Losha dos2unix() { sed 's/\x0D$//' "$1" ; } [22:07] erUSUL: stubborn :-) [22:08] Losha: for the sake of completeness :) [22:08] hi [22:09] #sangoma [22:10] hy [22:10] my sister has a quest wireless route. when I connect to it using windows it asks for 8 digit pin number on router box, how to convert that to linux [22:10] sepcificly ubuntu [22:10] I donno the special hash key or w/e I just know the 8 digit pin [22:10] thefirstdude: Its probably just a WEP or WPA key. [22:10] I tried that already ofcourse [22:10] Hi, how do I make a HFS partition? When I go to gparted, it's greyed out [22:11] thefirstdude:Well whatever it asks for its gonna be an open standard. [22:11] and I tried it as md5, and sha hexdigest [22:11] hfs is mac, isnt' it? [22:11] what does "nodev,nosuid" actually mean? (the definitions found are somewhat .. in need of another definition :) [22:11] lifestream: have you installed hfsutils? [22:11] thefirstdude: Why would a router ask for an md5sum? [22:11] bondiblueos9, nope, thanks a lot [22:11] ANYONE: is there a Ubuntu package similar to M$ Frontpage?

[22:14] erUSUL/losha: wouldn't that mean that i cannot install applications that uses hardware in that directory? [22:14] rosco: then use kompozer (as the text said ) [22:14] #backtrack [22:14] html is not a languaje xD [22:14] rosco: then you won't be able to have fine-level control over your site [22:14] besides the fact that Dreamweaver sucks, nvu/kompozer sucks more [22:14] thefirstdude: is it 8 digits 0-9, A-F ?

[22:17] i'm kewl [22:17] maco, knowing how to click a close button isn't what i'm talking about when i say "use ubuntu" [22:17] anyway, enough comedy for now [22:17] what an idiot [22:17] :o [22:17] linx|: be nice [22:17] hehe [22:17] maco: heh ;-) [22:18] losha sorry i didn't respond, had to go afk [22:18] what is so hard about being excellent to each other? [22:18] linx|, just be happy you have the knowledge other would kill for :-) [22:18] tar-: openssh starts with the system. probably the problem is the network. network manager will only connect when you log in [22:18] others [22:18] rosco, im sorry i made a mistake, it doesnt seem screem lets you edit what you see [22:18] did they merge #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic? :/ [22:18] rosco: try bluefish, though it tends to be a bit "technical" still (like a lot of open source software) [22:18] maco: for some people. it's apparently impossible...

I'm currently running an older version of Kubuntu, and would like to get rid of that and install the new Ubuntu on top. Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just burn a CD and wipe clean ? [22:19] (nsadmin: maco: it's just too Kianu Reeves...) My thoughts exactly. ha [22:19] stryk3r: is it working yet? [22:19] linx|: bluefish is just a text editor with a file list on the side :P it doesnt really do much special.... [22:19] !upgrade | Noeve [22:19] tar-: or use /etc/network/interfaces (if it is a wired connection it is the best option) [22:19] Noeve: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [22:19] installing that last dependency [22:19] but it's good to be excellent [22:19] Noeve: you could install ubuntu-desktop and then...

Javascript and css aside, what is the really big problems you face ? [22:19] Noeve: its usually quicker to clean install if you are running something like intrepid [22:19] Noeve: and then upgrade a bunch... [22:20] Noeve: kubuntu is ubuntu with a different front, its the same OS [22:20] Barnabas: hmm? ive been doing html for 13 years... [22:20] ok [22:20] maco: good point. I'm not thinking of bluefish, I'm thinking of Nvu [22:20] Losha, running it again now [22:20] Yep, but I've struggled with changing from Gnome to KDE and back a few times. [22:20] hi all. i'm new to linux, so i dunno if i'm comfortable editing xorg just yet. can someone tell me how to setup twinview in metamodes, so that my screens are like one big screen? [22:20] erUSUL: thx :) [22:20] a good alternative for web development is aptana http://www.aptana.com/ [22:20] . [22:20] Wondering if there's a painless way to do it, or if it's safer to just burn a disc. [22:20] Barnabas: however someone was looking for a WYSIWYG editor and so bluefish wasnt the right suggestion [22:20] knowing html in a direct way adds power and expression [22:20] linux is power [22:20] like i said, aptana rocks [22:21] notepad++ too anyway [22:21] i want to do it from nvidia-settings. anyone think they can help me? [22:21] back on topic?? please [22:21] Navegadorx: it can be as powerful as you make it, like any OS [22:21] Losha, http://pastebin.org/171239 another error :@ [22:21] creaty channel [22:21] maco, WISIWYG editors will limit you on any platform [22:21] PeterDrop_, there's notepad++ for linux? [22:21] Noeve: or you can install from an ubuntu cd and choose manual partition and choose to use the same partition but tell it to NOT format, and then itll keep your home directory [22:21] Barnabas: i agree, but if that's what the person wants... [22:21] i dont know [22:21] is my very first time on linux [22:21] BrutusGosdric: easy. run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings setup the screen then click "save to x config file" [22:21] :D [22:21] maco, sounds like the easiest option, yeah. Thanks.

[22:27] stryk3r: basically, I run apt-cache search sqlite3 and then make an educated guess among the alternatives... [22:27] SeaPhor: yes, that sounds very useful, thanks for the tip!

All I want to do is switch my session manager to gnome. In gnome, this is easy. you just go to the login screen prefpane under system and choose from a dropdown containing all the... [22:28] ...installed session managers. I cannot find something like that in kde. Please help me switch from kde to gnome and thank you in advance. [22:28] tar-: chmod is fine but 777 may be to permisive. you can create a group for the people that will be accessing the files and give perm to that gropu.... [22:28] hi again :) [22:28] tar-: you mount partitions, not drives [22:28] !repositories [22:28] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [22:28] tar-: are the partitions formatted NTFS?

This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [22:30] stryk3r: first choice is always any package ending in -dev. Try libdbus-glib-1-dev [22:30] litropy: like i said in #kubuntu it wont change what login screen you see til you reboot after a reconfigure. a log out is not enough [22:30] is there a preferred method for a root shell user to watch/spy on other shell user commands/history/etc? [22:30] Losha, kay thanks a lot! [22:30] ubottu: sigh, [22:30] hi all [22:31] so can someone help me? [22:31] ActionParsnip: the disks are currently empty, i was wondering what "best practice" was :) [22:31] zenergi: yuo can read the users ~/.bash_history file [22:31] I noticed that cat /dev/pts/# hangs the terminal [22:31] ubottu: thx :) [22:31] thefirstdude: if it is 0-9 and a-f, then its hex, and we're at least a little closer to understanding that that pin is [22:31] maco: no. no matter what I choose in sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, or sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, I'm still presented with a buttonless login pane with gnome's default background. [22:31] !anyone | thefirstdude [22:31] can someone suggest why plymouthd crashes and why there is no boot splash??? [22:31] thefirstdude: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:31] tia [22:31] ActionParsnip: good idea, thanks [22:31] tar-: ext4 will be fine, its ntfs you need special stuff for. 777 is very not best practice [22:31] thefirstdude: do you know if it is a wep or a wpa network? [22:31] litropy: even after reboot? ok then drop to a tty and do "sudo stop gdm; sudo start kdm" [22:31] guess what I never thought that I already fixed it as at reboot it came on nicely :P i simply reinstalled all the acpi packages and removed hibernation from /etc/default/acpi-support :) [22:32] bondiblueos9, go to http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=6835.0 to at least understand what I am talking about [22:32] it explains it in full === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [22:32] what command to use to get rhythmbox to play a radio station?

Are you German? [22:34] Losha, Nope. But my friend is from the Netherlands, the one that wrote this, I guess that's why its giving the error feedback in german?

[22:34] Losha, are you? [22:34] stryk3r: Ah, I wondered how come you sounded like a native. I'm British... [22:34] i have a question about lucid... whats the room for that? [22:35] !lucid [22:35] 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 [22:35] I'm Puertorican :-) [22:35] thanx LinuxGuy2009 [22:35] bondiblueos9, its a WPA2 network [22:35] Lovely international channel... [22:35] I'm hillbillian 8-) [22:35] but I don't know the pass phrase [22:35] I only know the 8 digit pin [22:35] and I CAN connect in windows [22:35] so don't even go there [22:35] Im a yankee :) [22:35] I just need to know what to do to connect in linux [22:36] if it is even possible [22:36] thefirstdude: Why not just ask the owner of the router for the passkey? [22:36] I sometimes see an unusual blank program stuck on my dock that appears to do nothing but stay there. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and Cario dock [22:36] i'm a portuguese [22:36] http://pastebin.org/171291 :O help! lol too much i dont understand [22:36] thefirstdude: according to the link you posted, you should be asking how to connect to a WPS router [22:37] well, I am the owner [22:37] How do I automate installing postfix, since the package runs a setup script? Running apt-get with -y doesn't help. [22:37] lol [22:37] and I don't the the key [22:37] !br | csousa [22:37] csousa: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [22:37] ok, then pretend I am asking how to connect to wps router, can u help me now? [22:38] I am not the pro here, that is why I am asking for help [22:38] (05:10:04 PM) thefirstdude: my sister has a quest wireless route. when I connect to it using windows it asks for 8 digit pin number on router box, how to convert that to linux [22:38] stryk3r: it's just more of the same, missing development libraries. Before we launch into this, maybe there's a easier way to do this. What exactly do you want this software for? [22:38] well, I am not owner, she is owner [22:38] same thing, she doesn't know she connects via 8 digit pin [22:39] thefirstdude: Aks your sister what protection it is using WPA, WEP etc and then come back. [22:39] losha one sec [22:39] IT says on the box and I already said, WPA2 [22:39] no need for portuguese help, i'm bilingual [22:39] so read up [22:39] thefirstdude: Right so ask your sister for the WPA2 key that she has it set to and your all done. [22:39] thefirstdude: OR if noone ever set up the router to use a passphrase, you can set it to use one; and then use that in linux; I'm sorry others are being beligerant towards you [22:40] csousa: erUSUL wasn't paying attention and missed our little celebration of internationality... [22:40] did I not just say she doesn't know it [22:40] lol [22:40] like I am some stupid idiot and I didin't ask her alreadyu [22:40] yep [22:40] thefirstdude: Reset the router. Use factory settings and go from there. [22:40] thefirstdude: you could connect via a wired connection and check the config [22:40] thefirstdude: keep a lid on it dude, we're all volunteers here... [22:40] Losha: hay i'm spanish myself. so ... [22:41] erUSUL: spanish and a Dune fan?

Otherwise no one will help you. [22:43] Hey guys. Im trying to figure something out. I've gotten this script written (not that big of a deal), but i need to be able to exit putty (its on a linux server) and have it still running after i exit putty? [22:43] Im trying to run fusbi on my ubuntu to make a bootable USB-drive for xbox-live but it requires the udev-package [22:43] what is it named for apt-get? [22:44] TranceControl: you need to employ screen on the server [22:44] thefirstdude: please calm down and stay polite - we are no clairvoyants [22:44] thefirstdude: Most routers have a reset switch on the back. Use it and you can setup a brand new WPA2 key. problem solved. [22:44] kanzie: you can search ubuntu packages directly [22:44] ActionParsnip, so i could do : screen for a in */*.rar; do unrar x "$a"; done [22:44] <_pg_> LinuxGuy2009: applause [22:44] ? [22:44] LinuxGuy2009: that will disrupt the currently connected/paired systems [22:44] #ubuntu+1 [22:45] moreia: how do I do that? [22:45] ActionParsnip: Ok so distrupting is worse than not being able to use the network? [22:45] Losha, a question, shouldn't the dependencies be installed by themselves if the script tells it too? [22:45] kanzie: http://packages.ubuntu.com [22:45] moreia: Imalready there [22:45] kanzie: but I don't see fsusbi at all. [22:45] TranceControl: no, yuo have a few screens on the server, when you connect switch to another screen run your command, switch back to the first screen then disconnect and it will keep running [22:45] I just wish to find the name to run apt-get [22:46] kanzie: I just got here... was there more background that you gave? [22:46] LinuxGuy2009: you can connect via a cable to view the settings without the need for wifi, you will then not disrupt or change anything [22:46] thefirstdude: Otherwise I would imagine you will still need the old WPA if you login with a cable and try and change it [22:46] ActionParsnip, oh .. wasnt aware of that. How do i switch to another screen ?. [22:46] LinuxGuy2009: less destructive [22:46] moreia: Im trying to run fusbi on my ubuntu to make a bootable USB-drive for xbox-live but it requires the udev-package [22:46] TranceControl: i only know of it, ive never done it personally [22:46] ActionParsnip: And when he is asked for the old WPA2 key he is supposed to enter what exactly? [22:46] kanzie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=udev [22:47] kanzie: so I think the package really is just "udev" [22:47] LinuxGuy2009: the key will be visible via the wired connection in the routers config page so once the key is learned the cable can be disconnected and the wireless can be then connected to using the newly learned key [22:47] ActionParsnip: My bad your correct. [22:47] kanzie: apt-get install udev (or ... aptitude install udev) [22:47] Hi, can someone tell me how to configure my ubuntu nfs server to start up in verbose mode? Need to trace back why windoze can't talk to it.... [22:47] All: sorry, i had a phone call about the website. [22:47] Sorry to ask this here, but it is sort of Ubuntu related. I'm planning to purchase an SSD drive. Is there anything I should look out for? Any issues in regarding running Ubuntu off of it? [22:47] ActionParsnip: Yes your right. [22:47] LinuxGuy2009: instead of critisizing, try helping [22:47] ecrane: well windows does not support nfs out of the box [22:48] ActionParsnip I believe if you call screen whatever and then logout, you will detach from the screen but it will remain running, no? [22:48] ActionParsnip: You being a troll today too? [22:48] LinuxGuy2009: if you help folks they tend to chill out. saying "chill out" makes people do the opposite [22:48] moreia: says its already installed... bummer [22:48] ActionParsnip: Chill out [22:48] LinuxGuy2009: you could be seen as being a troll [22:48] Seriously, all of you. Knock it off. [22:48] bondiblueos9: You as well [22:48] erUSUL: yeah well I installed 'nfs' services for windows per this article http://sagehacks.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/howto-mount-nfs-shares-under-windows-7/ I can connect to my NFS server from another unix box, so really want I want to do is start my NFS server with verbose mode and see if windows is even 'trying' to reach it. Do you know how to do that? [22:48] blocky: not sure, ive heard people advise it ni the past. not something i use dude [22:48] LinuxGuy2009: well of course, just by mentioning trolling I can be one === ThomasG33K is now known as ThomasG33K_Away [22:49] I was mad cause of the attitude that thefirstdude was blowing off. === ThomasG33K_Away is now known as ThomasG33K [22:49] ecrane: no sorry; maybe in #ubuntu-server [22:49] erUSUL: Ty, will ask there. [22:49] cool well in my experience you can essentially prepend your command with Screen and detach, then next login type screen -d -RR to detach anyone else and force reattachment to the first screen found [22:49] ALL: thank you for your help! i'm going to give Kompozer a try. one more question? what is the best way to buy a domain? [22:50] detach meaning logout [22:50] !godaddy [22:50] LinuxGuy2009: exactly, so if you let it slide then you will be more productive, by retaliating you only exacerbate the situation [22:50] I'm not sure the original asker is still here [22:50] ALL: godaddy.com? but after buying it, i can just post to it? [22:50] when I set up my computer for desktop sharing, how do I view it from another computer? Is it with through the web browser or what? [22:50] ActionParsnip: Dude move on.
