Well as I have been trying to figure out why 2 user's I installed Ubuntu Karmic for (2.6.31-20 when wireless problems were occuring), it appears that updating to 2.6.32-generic had a significant impact on the wireless problems experienced earlier for both Ubuntu users. Both Ubuntu machines use the ath9k driver for Atheros wireless chips and the current connectivity is at 100% with so far, for the first few minutes, no drops in the signal. So if anyone els [00:01] erUSUL, didn't known that site [00:01] ninjai: no, on X it will use it. there is also xemacs if you want more buttons and toolbars, amongs other versions. tbh, you shouldnt be afraid of the command line though, especially if you are editing hex / programming [00:02] jojo [00:02] first line [00:02] first error: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec [00:02] cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No existe el fichero ó directorio [00:02] linxeh: I'm VERY fond of the command line.. my only issue is that if I want to select a bunch of hex that's 30 terminal windows long... i cant drag to highlight it all :P [00:02] depends how big your windows are :P [00:02] !es | PeterDrop [00:03] PeterDrop: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[00:04] PeterDrop: sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel [00:05] BenUrban: emacs at least has hex editing modes [00:05] ah [00:05] BenUrban: I dont use vim enough to know if it does, but I would expect so [00:05] FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/updates/alsa/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [00:05] !find hex [00:05] linxeh: I use vi in the command line... i guess I'll have to look at markers. Problem is that vi itself can't view hex. hexer has vi-like controls, but as opposed to GUI hex editors you can't select the text only, or the hex code only, you select them both...

I am not that likely to recommend chromium to people [00:18] lspci lists all my PCI-e devices but none of the PCI ones (it's a sound card and a wireless network card) [00:19] duffydack: uh I wasn't clear when I said not so sure about recommending those two now, I meant the two browsers I didn't mention the name of [00:19] sebsebseb, its ok..

[00:48] greezmunkey: that's why I stopped using Furefix [00:48] darned keyboard [00:48] Typos_King ubuntu will not see it if set to MSC it does see it if set to MTP [00:49] Linux is an operating system which is not further develop in the public arena, on purpose. [00:49] dvheumen: boot from a LiveCD, make sure it doesn't automount, issue fsck -c [00:49] dvheumen: alternatively (if you feel like doing it the hard way), boot into recovery mode, remount read only, fsck -c [00:49] hi~ anyone know if there is a software to convert BIG5/GB/JS/etc encoded text file to UTF8? [00:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/533135 [00:49] wtf [00:49] what's up w/ new crunchbang, anyone testing it? [00:50] coachj: you mean, it doesn't show under 'lsusb' if you set it to 'msc' mode? msc afaik is just plain usb-storage device [00:50] greezmunkey: How about Chromium? there's no good ol' Firefox for Ubuntu?? ..but grooveshark is now working in Chromium... it seems it was Xmarks, an extension [00:50] rww, I actually thought about that, but couldn't manage it, there were already more apps started (according to fuser -vm /) [00:50] d4rkmt7r: crunchbang is offtopic for this channel; try #crunchbang [00:50] juanca: I persoally use SeaMonkey [00:50] it's Firefox without the suck [00:50] ops [00:50] oops [00:50] Typos_King correct [00:50] thanks [00:50] chrome runs like crap on all my PCs [00:51] dvheumen, alternative mount / -o remount,ro then fsck _then reboot_ [00:51] Typos_PCLOS does but Ubuntu does not [00:51] Typos_Kingsame machine [00:51] dvheumen: boot with your live-cd/usb and issue -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda1; assuming your installation is at sda1 otherwise, change accordingly :) [00:51] dvheumen: mount -o remount,ro / should work despite apps being started alreadt [00:51] always has for me, anyway [00:51] hey guys i have a really weird problem. my net is very inconsistent. example: im downloading a file off firefox and an update in synaptic. the firefox d/l will be going fine (200KB/s) and then suddenly the synaptic update goes to 0KB/s for 5 seconds and then recovers. then later on the synaptic d/l is fine and the firefox d/l goes to 0KB/s and then cancels itself (corrupt file) [00:51] juanca: that thread I linked you to documents uninstalling Namoroka, you can install a "stable" version of FF after that. [00:51] hey guys - is there a decent mysql data transfer package in ubuntu or linux? [00:52] the same thing happens when im playing a game, the game will be playing fine but i cant browse any websites.. then later the websites start working and then the game loses connection. any ideas? [00:52] anyone using 10.4 yet? [00:52] I really hated TB3 [00:52] rww, in that case I'm gonna try again. Because it constantly whines about / being in use, but it would *really* be handy to be able to just remount ro and scan [00:52] i still have mine [00:52] it's sucky [00:52] tnx, I'm gonna give it another try [00:52] djbeenie: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [00:52] thx [00:52] I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 off my pendrive with a persistent 4GB casper-rw image, disk space keeps dropping (wtaching df -h) even when I uninstall applications! I've followed the RecoverLostDiskSpace document but still no use. [00:52] mh [00:53] djbeenie: yes [00:53] apt-get remove firefox [00:54] I really just can't stand firefox [00:54] We get that CommunistYoshi :) [00:54] coachj: .... that's odd.... I had exactly the opposite with the same device, a sansa 2gb in win32, it didn't have any MTP (proprietary) drivers and it wouldn't load unless it was set to MSC [00:54] CommunistYoshi: If you don't have an Ubuntu support question, please consider moving your monologue to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:54] You see, with this many people, I don't think a lot of people can here you well [00:54] I do have a support question though [00:54] it was asked then ignored [00:55] CommunistYoshi: ask away [00:55] basically: best combo of software and hardware for ubuntu media centre [00:55] and the best software selection for a weak Pentium 3 [00:55] CommunistYoshi: I'd go with the default load, then customize it from there based upon your needs. [00:56] what would you recommend for a media centre though> [00:56] XBMC, Moovida, or something else [00:56] Typos_King yep this is a Sansa clip 2gb PCLOS see MSC Ubuntu sees MTP nither will see the other [00:56] CommunistYoshi: a faster processor to start with... [00:56] the Pentium 3 isn't running the media centre [00:57] rather some new system that'd I'd build and want a decent hardware selection [00:57] the Pentium3 can handle old 98 games well, but can barely handle google [00:57] CommunistYoshi: maybe look in #hardware? [00:57] gtg [00:58] What can I do to know which application is eating up my disk space? It grows every time I uninstall an application, I can see it through watch df -h [00:58] CommunistYoshi: I have a 1.1 gz AMD with 528 Mgs ram running Ubuntu 10.4 [00:58] coachj: he's gone... [00:58] LOL [00:58] coachj: that's... not sure if that's how's meant to work, but yeah, I got the same gig, files transferred in MTP mode showed in MSC mode viewing, and files transferred in MSC mode, wouldn't show in MTP mode viewing, so the solution was to use 1 mode and stick with it for all the file transfers, cuz MTP wouldn't see any MSC trasnfers [00:59] Maybe he went to #hardware.... [00:59] jest tu kto ? [00:59] Typos_KIng yep having that issue as well [00:59] kurde [01:00] !pl | kacper [01:00] kacper: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [01:00] coachj: well..... sooo, stick with mtp I gather if ubuntu is seeing it, as far as making it work in msc..... I can't say why it wouldn't, since it's just a plain usb-storage device [01:00] ok :D [01:00] yoo [01:01] What's the landscape-sysinfo process? One of my machines has randomly started spawning it out of control [01:01] I had to reboot the machine [01:01] Ubuntu 9.10 is taking especially long to boot just prior to the login screen, how can I troubleshoot this? [01:02] #ubuntu+1 [01:02] coachj: you can check around for MTP drivers for pclinux too, and that'd do for the pclinux issue, I'd think Ubuntu already has drivers for MTP support, thus it sees it, I should point out that the MTP stuff is non-standard MS crap, and in winxp and below, unless you have media player10 or up installed, or manually add the drivers, it won't see any mtp devices either [01:04] Mene-Mene: I would start with dmesg, you can paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com [01:04] hi [01:05] is there a way I can edit a file on a remote machine using gedit on local machine ? [01:05] Mene-Mene: After that maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:05] * hipitihop thinks maybe the wrong channel to ask [01:05] hipitihop: how do you have access to the remote machine? SSH? FTP? something else? [01:05] The walls can talk [01:06] hi, somebody can helpme to fix sound card problem in ubuntu? no sound :( [01:06] hipitihop: try mounting it as ssh [01:06] rww, it is a machine on my network which I administer .. so anything I want, yes ssh etc [01:06] Which CLI-browser has WGET in drobdown menu? [01:06] go to the ubuntu website [01:06] Yo. how do I tell which hard drive (sda or sdb) that grub has been installed on? I looked at /etc/default/grub, and in /boot/grub/ Can't figure it out, anyone know? [01:06] greezmunkey, I don't have enough room in my terminal for all of dmesg. [01:06] if there is no god, do you know what is out there? [01:06] !pastebinit [01:06] 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 [01:07] BenUrban, yes I do that, but that only gives me user access and the files I want to edit need sudo [01:07] Brains [01:07] ohhh [01:07] Mene-Mene: see that pastebinit, you can use that as well [01:07] hipitihop: what files do you need to edit? [01:07] xixor: what do you mean? and why do you need it? [01:07] hi~ anyone know if there is a software to convert text files codepages and encodings? [01:07] hipitihop: ah. If you need sudo, my idea won't help either. nvm :( [01:07] Open your files in the computer and copy them to a hard disk, and than look at what happened. [01:08] Typos_King: Well, I just installed a new hard drive and installed linux on it (sdb). I want to make sure that the grub boot loader is installed onto the hard drive containing windows (sda), so that the linux drive can be removed without making the system unbootable [01:08] BenUrban, various config files fo services running on the machine e.g. I run asterisk so need to edit /etc/asterisk.extensions.conf [01:08] hipitihop: sounds to me like you'd need to ssh as root for that... [01:08] hipitihop: or use nano or somesuch [01:09] i am still having the same issue.... === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:09] hello [01:09] BenUrban, yes I have used nano till now, but for editing asterisk dialplans it is a pita ... might just install gedit on that machine and run that across the ssh session [01:10] i have a problem [01:10] i bet [01:10] CANT GET FULL SCREEN [01:10] hipitihop: you'd have the same problem... [01:10] somebody help ? [01:10] i have been trying for an hour [01:10] (i think) [01:10] nobody seems to want to [01:10] hipitihop: Can't you use sshfs to mount it as root on the remote machine (but as your current user on your local machine)? [01:10] xixor: if when you startup you machine, what you get is a Grub menu with ubuntu and win32 choices, then is installed to the 1st HD in the machine, in this case that will mean 'sda', if you want it installed to 'sdb', you will need to do a -> sudo grub-install /dev/sdb; IIRC [01:10] sshfs root@remote-machine:path/to/mount /local/path [01:10] sweatshopking: ask the question again? [01:11] i am having an issue trying to insmod a rt2870sta.ko file for my wireless card wusb-600n card. when i try to do it, it says insmod: cant read 'rt2870sta.ko' : no such file or directory. i am trying to follow these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111518 === ubuntu is now known as STPIERE [01:11] thank you benurban [01:11] BenUrban, why so, once I ssh user@myremote -X sudo gedit /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf would that not work ? [01:11] xixor: in short, the boot loader that loads when the machines powers on, is the one at the 1st HD in that machine [01:11] sweatshopking: is it a v1 or v2? [01:12] v2 [01:12] hipitihop: not sure...more likely gksu or whatever the kids use these days, instead of sudo [01:12] usaba ubuntu 9.10 y me fallaba por el raton (uso un portatil), ahora me baje el linkat ...¿? alguién me puede decir algo? [01:12] sound problem, alsa is instaled, the sound card its show, but no sound, any ideas. Fresh 10.4 instalation.

We can read lowercase too. [01:13] but how would i know if i "made" the driver? === horndog__ is now known as horndog [01:14] I installed ubuntu, and after a couple of days I had some serious internet connection problems (wired) [01:14] full screen works only with 1280 x 1024 [01:14] sweatshopking: I have the same device, let me look through what I have, brb [01:14] hi, stupid question. If i am trying to mount one nix directory but onto another nix box do i need any sharing enabled, ue samba or is it native? [01:14] woot! [01:14] does somebody have a solution ? [01:14] that would be awesome! [01:14] this happened twice [01:14] is there like a script you could send me? [01:14] those instructions seem to fail for me [01:15] somenoone: define 'serious' [01:15] wookienz, depends usually people use nfs for that [01:15] sweatshopking: It's not that bad, like I said, let me look through what I have, brb [01:15] STPIERE: what video card? [01:15] ok [01:15] thanks man [01:15] umm it kept turning off [01:15] and saying "networking disabled" [01:15] ubuntu or slackware for servers? [01:15] so it is not a crime to install samba and use that between nix boxes? [01:15] sweatshopking: I need to verify which file is loaded by my system, brb [01:15] STPIERE: nice nick btw [01:15] ne7work: You're in #ubuntu, we're obviously going to say Ubuntu ;P [01:16] ok [01:16] evening [01:16] ActionParsnip:ati radeon inboard [01:16] wookienz: not at all, it allows easier integration of other OSes later [01:16] anyone can explain the difference between ices and icecast?

[01:17] great [01:17] Actionparsnip: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9710 [01:17] ne7work: then why consider slackware over... fedora, or redhat, or SuSE, or centOS or else? hehe [01:17] STPIERE: you can set the res you want using xrandr [01:17] slackware is bare bones. [01:17] if you want that, go for it [01:17] well.. bash is bare bones too [01:17] ActionParsnip : i'll try. thanks man!

I can't login or do anything.. So I booted back in Windows and tried to delete the partition hoping to try a fresh install again. However, after [01:47] deleting the partition, I couldn't boot back into windows because it seems the GNU Grub boot loader won't work if Ubuntu isn't installed. So I had to boot back into the Live CD and reinstall Ubuntu (still not working) just to get the Grub loader to boot and to get on Windows again. 1) How can I completely remove the partition and have windows to boot normally again 2) I searched the forum for the flashing problem but didn't find a [01:47] nything helpful (few people are having the same problem but no solution were posted). [01:47] Satan911: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:47] i navigated to the WUSB600N/os/linux folder then ran ""sudo insmod rt2870sta.ko" [01:47] Daedchon: user program files are usually in your /home directory, including most of your configuration files for YOUR user programs .. [01:48] sweatshopking__: try this: sudo /sbin/insmod rt2870sta.ko - see what happens [01:48] k [01:49] how do I start a second X session, but have it start with a custom display size, background, or whatever [01:49] insmod: can't read 'rt2870sta.ko' : No such file or directory [01:49] Hello, I just installed Ubuntu minimal. Got PekWM window manager running with basic networking and irssi. I need to install nvidia drivers. Is that something I can get from the repos? apt-get install nvidia? apt-cache search brings up a few different ones, not sure which is correct. [01:49] sweatshopking__: try this: sudo /sbin/insmod ./rt2870sta.ko - see what happens 2nd try! [01:50] ok [01:50] :) [01:50] same error [01:50] My question again.. [01:50] hey, does anybody know a good daemon to mount a webdav directory? All the ones I tried until now make editing files a real pain. Editors just hang until file operations get completed on the remote machine. [01:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/421380/ [01:50] Daedchon: other system programs are in the file system folder, i wouldnt recommend fiddling with those directly.. use your package manager or ubuntu software center to add/remove programs safely [01:51] sweatshopking__: type: ls -la - is the file where you are now? [01:51] hi [01:51] no... [01:52] ye¨ [01:52] sweat that command must be run from the directory where the file exists! [01:52] right, but i cant get to where the file is! [01:52] it says the folder locate tells me it is in doesnt exist! [01:53] maybe a . file [01:53] laptop wont connect to router when it did few days ago please help [01:53] sweatshopking__: heh, {directory where you gunzipped}/os/linux/rt2870sta.ko [01:53] it isnt there [01:54] it isnt in the downloaded pack [01:54] i thought i had to make it [01:55] sweatshopking__: in a term: locate rt2870sta.ko - then cd to the result... [01:55] Satan911: I'm not sure about the video flashing problem, but to get windows to work you need to fix the MBR (master boot record) which removes grub and allows you to boot directly into Windows. You can start the command prompt in windows and type "fdisk /mbr", or start the Windows installation disk and go into recovery and type fixmbr [01:55] Here is the truth [01:56] How can I find out the version of Ubuntu that i'm using through bash? [01:56] Ok thanks nalhilal. I'll try that and maybe try 10.04 after. [01:56] norbi905: lsb_release -a [01:56] it didnt give an error message when i ran it this time... [01:56] Satan911 good luck [01:56] if a file is deleted in a disk, and its not in garbage of linux, where is it than? [01:56] bastid_raZor: Thank you [01:57] Uhmm fdisk is not a recognized command. I'll google.. [01:57] laptop wont connect to router when it did few days [01:57] ConcreteRose: it's deleted [01:57] norbi905: you can use system>system monitor program to see that info too [01:57] Really? [01:57] however it says my card should be working, but i dont see any networks.... [01:57] What is deleted? The file? [01:57] ConcreteRose: yes [01:58] Oh ok, so how does it come back? [01:58] kyubutsu: Thanks, however i'm on a basic minimal install using irssi. [01:58] irssi ftw! [01:58] ConcreteRose: you create a new empty file and add the info you deleted into the empty file [01:58] really? [01:58] which info? [01:59] ConcreteRose: stop trolling please [01:59] I need to install nvidia drivers. apt-cache search nvidia turn up with a few of them. How or which one should I go for? As apt-get install nvidia will most likely not work [01:59] what is trolling? [01:59] !troll > ConcreteRose [01:59] ConcreteRose, please see my private message [01:59] sweatshopking__: in that directory: ls -la :what is the date on the file? [01:59] sweatshopking__: does that match when you made it (more or less)? [01:59] sweatshopking__: you there? [01:59] is normal behavior trolling? [01:59] that was wierd [02:00] I'm assuming nvidia-glx-new is the one i'm looking for === greezmun1ey is now known as greezmunkey [02:00] .... [02:00] yes [02:00] i'm here [02:00] it is 2010-04-16 10:02 [02:00] no [02:00] ConcreteRose: it is highly discouraged to 'troll' [02:00] i made it like an hour ago [02:00] actually i dont think i did make it, i didnt do anything as far as i know that would have made it. just eh instructions on that page [02:00] Hmm, maybe not :( [02:00] troll is actually a word that is not referring to your behavior, but only the effect upon your reponse of mine behavior [02:01] ConcreteRose: indeed.. now stop doing it [02:01] oh you mean stop deleting things? [02:01] ConcreteRose: please stop behaving in a manner that will cause me to feel you are being a troll and in turn force me to have to remove you :) [02:01] ok.... [02:02] ok great!! [02:02] kick! [02:02] I'm considering uninstalling gvfs, is that going to cause problems? I need the disk space! :/ (aufs on a 4GB casper-rw image) [02:02] laptop wont connect to router when it did few days ago please help [02:02] sweatshopking__: I think maybe you should start over. You will have to delete the file structure that was made when you tar -xvzf'd the source - I had to do the same thing at least once. [02:02] Hello everyone. Is anyone here familiar with Vino and x11VNC in Ubuntu 9.10? [02:02] Kick Ass! [02:02] ConcreteRose: formulate your questions is the most .. concrete manner possible to avoid this type of situations [02:02] how do i start over? [02:02] oh really [02:02] reboot? [02:02] where in robot world? [02:03] What does "Transitional package for nvidia-glx-185" mean? Is this the binary driver? [02:03] sweatshopking__: no no, delete the directory that was created when you did step 1 [02:03] i have a ppc question and no one is ever in the ppc or ports rooms [02:03] ok [02:03] done [02:03] can someone possibly help [02:03] sweatshopking__: then repeat step 1, and follow the instructions *closely* [02:03] All robots wake up, god is gone. [02:04] dont ask to ask a questions.. formulate your questions clearly and wait for someone to answer [02:04] thanks for sharing... [02:05] I have an Imac g3 with ati128, upgraded to 9.10 and have 8bit video res. Suggestions to correct. [02:06] how can i attach my laptop to connect to my router when it did few days ago now it just says no network connection please help [02:06] ubergamer: Ethernet? [02:07] wirelesss [02:07] Linux newbie here. I am using a windows PC to connect to Ubuntu 9.10. I have an nVidia card so I cannot use Vino. I've done apt-get install x11vnc. I cannot figure out how to have Ubuntu use it for the VNC server instead of Vino. [02:08] ubergamer: sometimes you can just reboot and the connection will be restablished.. of course, this is not a practical nor standard solution [02:08] i tried that and nothing [02:08] ubergamer: Are you using Network Manager? [02:08] yes i deleted old and tried it again and nothing [02:09] shows the router but wont connect just says no network connection [02:09] ubergamer: Right click the Network Manager widget, is enable networking, and enable wireless checked? [02:10] yes [02:10] Greetings.. [02:11] ubergamer: what have you done (networking-wise) with your PC since it last was able to connect? === brad[werk] is now known as bradbook [02:11] #ubuntu1 /join [02:11] networking nothing [02:11] greez, when i follow them, and complete step 6, it says :error inserting, -1 file exists [02:11] battery died blew up and replaced it and that was it [02:11] ubergamer: you use a passphrase on your connection? [02:12] that is when it happen when i replaced the battery [02:12] yes i do [02:12] ubergamer: open a terminal and type: iwconfig - what do yo see? Paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:12] stand by [02:13] hola como estan [02:13] ? [02:13] hard to paste cuz no wireless on laptop when im on desktop now [02:13] but says no wireless extensions [02:14] c [02:14] ic [02:14] greezmunkey: you think he might need to double check whether he has the right encryption method specified for his network? [02:14] hi chinopom, looking for ubuntu support¿ [02:14] hello [02:15] ubergamer: does it show *any* wireless device at all? [02:15] also, ubergamer , is there a physical ON button to turn on your wifi card? [02:16] ieee 802.11abg mode: managed [02:16] * Flare-Laptop is a Ubuntu Developer [02:16] hey, how come flash is very laggy in 1080p resolution for youtube? anybody have an idea to why? [02:16] kyubutsu: I think he is at least going to have a restart in his immediate future... [02:16] hey anyone have experience with TeamSpeak 3 on Ubuntu [02:16] well sorta lol [02:16] access point is not accosiated [02:16] sweatshopking__: that's not a good error... [02:16] well, it did move over i think before, but it never seemed to initialize the device [02:16] ubergamer: that's good, at least it's there [02:17] ya fosure [02:17] now what [02:17] can xorg do HDMI video output fine with ATI cards, or is that problematic? [02:17] the device works correctly in win 7 though [02:17] Hey guys, my pidgin is consuming a lot of memory of system, someone is have a similar problem ? [02:18] sweatshopking__: in a terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (you are using another pc right now right?) [02:18] madruga: maybe too much accounts or plugins¿ [02:18] I am having issues with TeamSpeak 3...I can hear people speaking in my channel [02:18] but [02:18] all they hear is white noise [02:18] greezmunkey: you addressed the wrong person , i think.. [02:18] ubergamer: in your NM widget, right click, edit connections, check what you have under wireless. === jesse__ is now known as Guest5089 [02:19] kyubutsu: no I didn't! [02:19] shows my router name [02:19] xangua, I think not, just use a plugin and an account [02:19] ah, thought only ubergamer was the one with network issues [02:19] carry on [02:19] haha [02:19] i am using another pc [02:19] * CrazyDoode restricts caffine use. [02:19] what does ubuntu use instead of xmms? [02:19] xangua, I run pidgin, and it consumes 600 mb memory Oo === Guest5089 is now known as Flare-Laptop [02:20] kyubutsu: it's a never ending flow of non-networking, seems like! :) [02:20] madruga: ubuntu has empathy for you [02:20] reconfiguring network [ OK ] [02:20] sweatshopking__: in a term, iwconfig, what do you see? [02:20] infid, haha i think not too [02:21] ubergamer: edit that connection, is the connect automatically box checked? [02:21] lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extensions [02:21] is really strange [02:21] yes it is [02:21] sweatshopking__: if the driver was loaded you should have a device called ra(n) usually ra0 [02:22] hmmmmm [02:22] Hello [02:22] Can I get yahoo messenger with sound on ubuntu? [02:22] maybe i should reboot and try insmoding again? [02:22] with webcam? [02:22] sweatshopking__: having no wlan entry in there explains part of the problem .. almost looks like your wifi card is not set up [02:22] ubergamer: uncheck that for now, then in a terminal type: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:22] that's the thing, i'm tring to set it up [02:22] II just use pidgin encrypte [02:22] ubergamer: wait a bit, then right click the NM widget - see if your SSID shows up or not. [02:23] sweatshopking__: yes, normally the system would do that for the user .. interesting [02:23] In 9.10, I've suddenly run into a problem with sudo. Prefixing commands with sudo still works fine but I'm unable to use any of sudo's command line arguments, such as -v, -k, etc. When I try, I get the message "env: -v: No such file or directory" [02:23] it is a wusb600n [02:23] i'm using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111518 [02:23] This is actually a problem on two systems, both began recently [02:23] sweatshopking__: I get that, so something else is going on. Did you edit the make files as directed in the instructions? [02:23] i ran the make command [02:24] sweatshopking__: did you edit the files? [02:24] energY: try gyache [02:24] no [02:24] i dont see where it says to edit until later [02:24] seems to me I said... [02:24] can anyone help me figure out why this script will rotate my display 180 but not the touch/mouse/pen input? http://paste.ubuntu.com/421326/ [02:24] sweatshopking__: then repeat step 1, and follow the instructions *closely* [02:24] stand by [02:24] first it says it should be working now [02:24] i did a bunch of times [02:25] reconfiguring network interfaces ok [02:25] i can run them all successfully, but the device doesnt seem to initialize [02:25] ubergamer: wait a bit, and then left click the widget, do you see your ssid? [02:26] i always saw my ssid there i just can not connect to it [02:26] ubergamer: by ssid he means your network name [02:26] alright.. [02:27] still no network connection [02:27] ubergamer: select your ssid in the list, see what happens - it should ask you for your passphrase [02:27] i tried to connect and didnt ask me for the passphrase [02:27] but no network connection after it tried to establish a connection [02:28] ubergamer, probably there's a profile created for that ssid, using network manager? check under wireless section [02:28] how does mplayer store the file its playing [02:28] let me check [02:29] i just deleted some dvd iso files and i forgot i had one of them paused in mplayer when i unpaused it it didn't crash or anything it just seems really wierd [02:29] ubergamer: open a new terminal and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog {press enter} - that will let you see what's going on as it tries to connect. You will have to go through the connect sequence again. [02:30] Is there a way to check if apt has been updated with a repo's package list? [02:30] bsmith093, I think its probably stored in the buffer, so a portion of it would reside in the memory [02:30] well that makes sense [02:30] bsmith093: the file might have been temporarily stored in memory [ram] if it wasnt too big [02:30] i guess we dont know [02:30] tgm4883, not that I know of but you can always issue `sudo aptitude update' [02:30] thanks [02:30] ....? [02:30] ?? [02:31] sweatshopking__, what was the issue? I'm trying to read through my buffer [02:31] alot of device state change reason 0 3 and disconnect event - remove keys [02:31] bsmith093: that means there is no recovering that particular file, in your case .. once you closed the player, it was gone [02:31] hatake_kakashi, not in this instance. I'm working on a program and trying to query for that info. If I can get it, I don't always have to display the warning to the user [02:31] i am trying to setup my WUSB600N wireless usb card, and failing. it will insmod, but it doesnt initialize [02:32] marking connection invalid [02:32] i havent closed the player yet and i still have the original dvds so thats fine [02:32] sweatshopking__: steps two and three involve opening the files indicated in each step, and then modifying certain entries *before* running make [02:32] xangua: Cant find it [02:32] tgm4883, humm I think the db file residing in /var/cache/apt might help you, if you check the mtime on it [02:32] sweatshopking__, pastebin (not paste) your dmesg output [02:33] Step 2 - Extract WUSB600N.tar to a folder Step 3 - Open a terminal and navigate to the newly created WUSB600N folder [02:33] are you looking at the same page greez? [02:33] When I try to compile into usr/share, it tells me unable to open cache file for save and gives a system error:permission denied [02:33] sweatshopking__, no I don't know which page you're referring to [02:33] sweatshopking__: no! Im looking at the instructions in the tarball! That would help you a lot! [02:33] ohhhhhhhhhhhh [02:33] Daedchon, you need to be root to write into that directory [02:33] energY: you need to add the PPA says the page https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ [02:33] i didnt know there were any there! [02:33] sweatshopking__: README.STA !!! [02:34] disconnect event - remove keys [02:34] Soo how does a newbie like me do that? [02:34] now i have another problem, i rebooted, and wehn i move a window or open a menu the screen flashes black for a second [02:34] ubergamer, pastebin (not paste) your dmesg output [02:34] Daedchon: what do you want to compile¿ [02:35] Quassel [02:35] gimme address [02:35] !pastebin > ubergamer [02:35] ubergamer, please see my private message [02:35] just in case.. [02:35] Daedchon: quassel is in teh repositories [02:35] Probably is [02:35] ubergamer: that usually means that you are not authenticating with the AP. hatake_kakashi suggested that an existing profile, under wireless connections, could be interfering... [02:35] but I would actually like to learn how to do stuff manually [02:36] ok i fixed the issue [02:36] with the screen [02:36] had to change refresh rate [02:36] greezmunkey: even though your logic is sound, i think its a hardware issue [02:36] you can compile it in your home directory [02:36] ubottu how i send private im [02:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:36] kyubutsu: regarding? [02:36] Daedchon: you need to run the command with sudo which gives you root permissions [02:36] !compiling > Daedchon [02:36] Daedchon, please see my private message === Nijverheid is now known as Guest60442 [02:36] xangua: same error [02:36] the usb wifi [02:37] so if its interfering how i fix it [02:37] if it is [02:37] kyubutsu: the makefile has an entry that needs to be set: In Makefile set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX" [02:37] kyubutsu: :) [02:37] ubergamer, you remove the existing profile, so that when you select the ssid, it should prompt you for the passphrase/password/etc [02:38] fair enough, greezmunkey [02:38] kyubutsu: I thought sweatshopking__ was following the readme file all this time! [02:38] i did and it asked but still cant connect says no ;network connection after few sec. [02:38] can anyone help me figure out why this script will rotate my display 180 but not the touch/mouse/pen input? http://paste.ubuntu.com/421326/ [02:39] i didnt [02:39] I cant get it to download [02:39] ubergamer, is this wireless card pci based or usb based? [02:39] i have no idea how to do any of that stuf [02:39] f [02:39] sweatshopking__: you'll be cool now!~ [02:39] i dont know [02:39] it is saying set mode and x.x.x.x. i dont know what to enter there! [02:39] hatake_kakashi, you pointed me in the right direction. You can find out what repos apt knows about in /var/lib/apt/lists/ [02:40] sweatshopking__: open the files indicated in a text editor. I'll take a look at mine... [02:40] imma try some stuff if not ill be back via eth0 on laptop thanks [02:40] tgm4883, cool, good to know :) [02:41] i've used usb wifi dongles without issues before.. meh.. :-/ [02:41] whats xvzf? [02:41] kyubutsu, not all usb wifi dongles are supported, some may need users to configure it right for them [02:42] i've even swaped the same usb adaptor from puter to another and still connect with no issues.. [02:42] sweatshopking__: what exactly did you download, what was the filename? [02:42] i got the file from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111518 [02:42] sweatshopking__, switches, x for extract v for verbose, z for dealing with gzipped packages, f for dealing with directories/files, man tar [02:42] it has a link [02:43] for the file i got [02:43] wusb600n.tar [02:43] kyubutsu, running the same OS, same version, etc? [02:43] yes [02:43] hi all, somedy interesed in helpe with a sound card problem, i have no sound :( [02:44] hi [02:44] #rails [02:44] system recognized the hardware automagically and all .. no problem .. ubergamers case seem to be one of those .. === PeterDrop_ is now known as PeterDrop [02:44] how can I make a network bridge with ubuntu? [02:45] kyubutsu, I find that a little hard to believe, you probably may have previously set that usb dongle up and may have forgotten or the computer with the working device is either newer or older than the problematic one [02:45] negative [02:46] let me remind you i havent had a problem .. was just commenting.. [02:46] kyubutsu, in ubergamer's case, he had a profile (most likely) setup, which was why it wasn't prompting him passphrase. As he deleted the profile it started prompting for passphrase but still has auth fails, which could indicate driver issue [02:46] the pack i downloaded says "I've downloaded and modified the driver source for your convenience." [02:46] sweatshopking__: yikes, who knows where that file came from. It claims to be a "modified" driver source. You should always be wary of those! [02:46] o [02:46] ok [02:46] do you have a better one? [02:47] Is postfix the default email server for ubuntu server? [02:47] indeed, hatake_kakashi , mysterious issue that one [02:47] anybody know how I can bridge a network through ubuntu? is firestarter any good for it? [02:47] In trying to press enter in "$ cpan", I get ^M. ie some problem with Terminal? [02:47] or know where i can get one? the thing is I dont know how to modify the driver, so i was glad when i saw that lol [02:48] i cant upgrade to 10.04, update manager not detecting releases, i tried the switch still no hope [02:48] kyubutsu, not really, he left without giving out the required information, possibly the wifi chipset he's got is one of those new ones where the driver support maybe is primitive [02:48] !lucid | eagle5 [02:48] eagle5: 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 [02:48] also possible , hatake_kakashi [02:48] how do i stop Vino from running? [02:48] hatake_kakashi: I read that, but it still doesn't help [02:49] list [02:49] yes lucid it is.> [02:49] sweatshopking__: I'll see if I can locate the source I used. I think I deleted the tarball... [02:50] i am unable to get into graphical mode in my system , there is some error shown in the linux partition during boot up and when the system is trying to self repair it at start up , it stop at 35% and goes into a maintenace shell [02:50] Daedchon, have you also tried using sudo as per what other helpers have suggested? [02:50] * kyubutsu coughs a tarball up [02:50] q [02:50] ok [02:50] sweatshopking__: I didn't! It's a half a meg, I can probably email it. [02:50] also i am unable to access the fstab as root [02:50] sweatshopking@gmail.com [02:51] is there a way I can basically kill off my x server settings from a windows partition so i can reconfigure it from linux? [02:51] sweatshopking__: ok [02:51] ninjai, there's no xorg.conf in ubuntu by default now [02:51] hatake_kakashi: you can still use xbox.conf to set manul settings [02:52] either way, the answer would still be no, ninjai__ [02:52] xorg [02:52] hatake_kakashi: great. Well I know this isn't exactly the right channel for this, but I'm using 10.04... perhaps there was a way of fixing this in a previous version of ubuntu. I boot up and screen is black... after updating. [02:52] gogeta1, correct or you can still generate a config file for it as well [02:52] hatake_kakashi: Not sure how to "use" sudo. [02:52] hi I need to test several modprobe snd-hda-intel model =X [02:52] ninjai__: try recovery mode [02:53] I have to change alsa-base.conf [02:53] ninjai__: you are correct. please join #ubuntu+1 [02:53] ninjai, and there's no support in #ubuntu+1 or you haven't bothered trying? [02:53] I have to kill pulseaudio [02:53] sweatshopking__: on it's way... [02:53] ninjai__: thats normal thers no splash [02:53] or sudo alsa reload will do it for me? [02:53] thanks [02:53] kyubutsu: I honestly have no idea what recovery mode is supposed to do. Any time i've had a problem where I've needed some kind of recovery mode is doesn't work. I still get hte black wscreen [02:53] Daedchon, for installing built packages, instead of say make install you do sudo make install [02:53] gogeta1: but it stays black. forever. [02:53] !checkinstall | hatake_kakashi Daedchon [02:53] hatake_kakashi Daedchon: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [02:53] Ok thank you [02:54] bastid_raZor, already aware of that but thanks [02:54] Ah, I have an idea! can I make ubuntu boot with command output? Like old school linux way? [02:54] there are a few useful tools to help you fix your system when you select to boot up using recovery mode [02:54] ninjai__: ^^ [02:55] kyubutsu: recovery wont boot [02:55] yours is a single boot system, ninjai__ ? [02:56] since the last update to chromium, whenever I quit and then restart chromium ubuntu logs me out. pulseaudio starts eating 100% cpu, so I kill it (pulseaudio -k) but then chromium has to be restarted for flash to have sound again. I quit and it is fine, but when I start it again ubuntu logs me out [02:56] the recovery mode is listed along with all other bootable operating systems once grub comes up.. [02:56] got it, just extracting [02:56] rifter: using the daily build PPA¿ [02:56] when I log in again I can start chromium fine with no effects, but if I quit it and restart it ubuntu logs me out again [02:57] rifter: try the beta PPA [02:57] xangua, I don't think so but let me check [02:57] xangua, ok [02:58] kyubutsu: no it boots win7 (which im on) and ubuntu [02:59] hey guys how do I make sudo accounts [02:59] can anyone help me figure out how to setup a bridge connection from my laptop wrielessly to this desktop i have? [02:59] xangua, it just seems weird to me that starting an application would log me out [02:59] ok greez, i have it, now what do i do with it? how do i do the first thing? [02:59] david-w-away, you don't, you edit the sudoers file with visudo [02:59] david-w-away: add them to the admin group and they can use sudo ... sudo adduser newusername admin [03:00] sw [03:00] sweatshopking__: heh, did you extract it to a folder? [03:00] i did [03:01] go into the directory, and open README.STA [03:01] got that [03:01] hatake_kakashi: i disagree with your method of adding a user to be able to use sudo. [03:02] #1 i dont know what to do with it [03:02] sweatshopking__: do you see the instructions I was referring to? [03:02] it says x.x.x.x.tgz [03:02] yes [03:02] i just am not sure how to use them [03:02] ok, it's cool [03:02] thanks man [03:02] you've been really fantastic. I really appreciate it [03:03] sweatshopking__: np, in that directory, do you have like five other directories? [03:03] bastid_raZor, well there's always many other ways to go about, such as putting the user in a group whereby in the sudoers file grants them access [03:03] yes [03:03] common, include, os,sta,tools [03:04] sweatshopking__: ok, in the *current* directory, do you see a file called makefile? [03:04] ye [03:04] s [03:04] hi guys, i am trying to mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/tmp, it says '/dev/sdd1 already mounted or /mnt/tmp busy' - neither of these is true [03:04] i opened it in gedit [03:04] sweatshopking__: make a copy of it called makefile.orig [03:05] sweatshopking__: slow down there chainsaw [03:05] .orig [03:05] ok [03:05] adante, there's likely possibility that /dev/sdd1 maybe the rootfs (/) [03:05] lols [03:05] !enter | sweatshopking__ [03:05] sweatshopking__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

When I plug in a USB flash drive, VB sees it and I'm able to make it available to the VM, but Windows never sees it. [03:06] hatake_kakashi: Thank you, that worked [03:06] All I needed was a little push ;P [03:06] sweatshopking__: you made the copy? [03:07] yes [03:07] I did the same with a Centos 5.3 vm and it does see it, so it appears to be just XP that has the problem. [03:07] Any suggestions as to why XP doesn't see it? [03:07] petre, what filesystem is the flash drive? [03:07] It's formatted vfat. [03:07] sweatshopking__: ok open the original file in your text editor, and *closely* follow the instructions. If you have questions along the way, ask them. [03:08] how do i do step 1? [03:08] I've got a Karmic machine at work also running VB and it works fine there. [03:08] then i'll be no help lol :) just figured i would get the basics out of the way [03:08] hey guys === ubuntu is now known as someDude [03:08] petre: virtualbox from the repo's has usb issues. the only way to get the usb to work is to install the version offered from virtualbox website [03:08] CortezTheKiller, thanks for asking; I'd take a simple bone-headed mistake on my part. [03:09] bastid_raZor, that's what I've got, Sun's version. [03:09] i am running lucid rc right now, though i dont think this issue is exclusive to that. somehow as the result of an update my grub menu had all kernel choices removed from it - i.e. only memtest remains [03:09] And my Centos VM sees the usb drive just fine [03:09] how do i "$tar -xvzf DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz" [03:09] what does that even mean? [03:09] petre: then i do not know. have you tried #vbox ? [03:09] i am running from a liveusb right now. i dont need to reinstall grub2, i just need it to check for installed kernels again, anyone know how to make it do that [03:09] someDude: Please /join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [03:10] bastid_raZor, no I haven't. Good idea, I'll check there. Thanks.

[04:34] PeterDrop: then put your db files in /var/lib/mysql/ [04:34] hello room [04:34] ubuntu: never!!! use chmod -R 777 [04:34] <_pg_> PeterDrop: xamp i think [04:35] why not [04:35] mysql-server is intalling.. iam gonna give to try to that [04:35] does an body here use ubuntu 10.04 yet [04:35] QDir::exists: Empty or null file name [04:35] anyway i dont like xamp xD [04:35] <_pg_> rems: i little [04:35] rems: #ubuntu+1 [04:35] <_pg_> PeterDrop: than get a server [04:35] ubuntu: because 777 is breaking security [04:35] <_pg_> PeterDrop: those are your options [04:35] i just want to copy my home folder to a secondary HDD that is all [04:36] hello [04:36] ubuntu: and may stop programs from working [04:36] PeterDrop: are you wanting to install an apache/mysql/php server on your desktop? [04:36] _pg_ mysql server is installing right now [04:36] ubuntu: rsync -av destination target [04:36] yes [04:36] scunizi yes [04:36] if anyone knows how to keep my sound card from turning itself down, please tell me...and i check alsamixer and its not affecting that either... [04:36] ubuntu: or cp -r destination target or scp -r destination user@target-server:/path/to/target [04:37] QDir::exists: Empty or null file name [04:37] PeterDrop: in terminal.. type.. sudo tasksel .. when the menu comes up choose LAMP.. and then you're done. [04:37] i tried rsync -av s d before but still showing me a permission warning [04:37] <_pg_> PeterDrop: or that lol [04:37] PeterDrop: if you want a fully lamp, please dont use xamp or other sugestions here, just use sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin [04:38] iceroot: sudo tasksel then lamp does the same thing [04:38] damn [04:38] what is the problem of use chmod 777 -R [04:38] ubuntu: on what file it is showing that? also post ls -l for that file [04:38] ubuntu: again, 777 is breaking security [04:38] tasksel ->LAMP is running :S [04:38] the install have sequencee [04:38] <_pg_> iceroot: why is that better than xampp? [04:39] that mean? lose data? [04:39] ubuntu: your ssh-priv-key is readable WORLDWIDE for example [04:39] It works! [04:39] xD [04:39] _pg_: because xampp is a distribution [04:39] I have xinetd, x11vnc, and have an x11vnc service config file in the /etc/xinetd.d folder (http://pastebin.org/172156). When running VNC over SSH (windows to linux) i get a unexpected disconnect error and my deamon.log shows this error: setuid failed: Operation not permitted (errno = 1). What is going wrong? [04:39] lamp is installed i think [04:39] ok i got it but dont worry about that [04:39] <_pg_> iceroot: could you elaborate [04:39] hello everyone [04:39] wow, just setting up a mysql user for the first time and changing the password is messed up [04:39] if you just for test, could think the wanp.

[04:40] _pg_: security updates for example if there is a critical apache-error which is fixed you have to wait until the xampp-project is fixing it in there xamppp [04:40] I'm testing out lucid and my webcam worked fine with skype in 9.10 but it doesn't appear to be detected in 10.04, any ideas at all? [04:40] PeterDrop: html files go in /var/www [04:40] josephnexus: #ubuntu+1 [04:40] ah [04:40] thanks iceroot [04:40] ok i will try [04:41] txs mans [04:41] _pg_: also xampp is using a different config then the real packages [04:41] im trying do make a copy of home folder to another HDD, i did this procedure 2 month ago using CHMOD 777 -R and next copiying the files to another HDD...... but this time for some reason i can not do that [04:41] !lucid > josephnexus [04:41] josephnexus, please see my private message [04:41] _pg_: there is no reason for using xampp on linux [04:41] maybe the sport is used. [04:41] ubuntu: i told you already to give infos about the error and ls -l of that file [04:42] ok [04:42] iceroot [04:42] what i just instaled [04:42] lamp = xamp? [04:42] PeterDrop: lamp is a meta-package, xamp is a distribution [04:42] ubuntu, send the output of ls -l to pastebin [04:42] exist a way to login using my old user and pass from a live CD_ [04:43] cd? [04:43] what is better i dont wanna have problems later [04:43] what is the best option [04:43] ubuntu, have you re-installed? [04:43] PeterDrop: as i told already sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server and if you want, also phpmyadmin [04:43] anyone know how to add allowed host to remove desktop??? [04:43] allowed hosts* [04:43] <_pg_> iceroot: what packages need to be installed to get the same functionality as xampp? [04:43] but.. i have already instaled lamp, grgrgr [04:43] not yet [04:43] <_pg_> just those mentioned already? [04:44] why don't have get the network driver by ubuntu8.04 when installing today. [04:44] PeterDrop, what's the issue? [04:44] _pg_: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin and i guess postfix or exim [04:44] no issue yet [04:44] _pg_: on windows there is also a mail-server and a ftp-server [04:44] PeterDrop, what are you trying to accomplish? [04:44] PeterDrop: don't worry.. everything iceroot mention except phpmyadmin has been installed with lamp.. just sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin to get that package.. no difference [04:45] _pg_: so why installing xamp if you dont want a mail-server or ftp-server? [04:45] randomusr, a local hosting [04:45] I installed ubuntu twice, and both time the internet wouldn't connect [04:45] scunizi i have the hosting and pphmyadmin running [04:45] running the demo version, it would work great [04:45] PeterDrop; is something missing from that? [04:45] WXZ: what version are you running? [04:45] 9.10 (on windows right now) [04:45] PeterDrop: I know.. [04:46] :D [04:46] WXZ: output of ifconfig to pastebin please [04:46] <_pg_> iceroot: i only use for php testing stuff- testing joomla sites locally [04:46] i can work from here txs :D [04:46] _pg_: yes but you dont want xamp [04:46] I installed xp iceroot, and now I can't see ubuntu in the dual boot screen [04:46] <_pg_> iceroot: just cause you said this new wa is better ;-) [04:46] anyway .. can somebody helpme with sound car issue? xD [04:46] although the system partition + swap are still there [04:47] if I was still using ubuntu...

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:47] anyone else get the feeling there are a lot of trouble makers here? [04:47] randomusr_: no [04:47] iceroot, ok [04:48] ok iceroot, I understand this [04:48] but why would it suddenly switch after 3 days [04:48] for no reason at all [04:48] WXZ: ? [04:48] are you implying the bootmanager wouldn't run network manager? [04:48] ok this is the output when i try rsync -av http://pastebin.org/172174 [04:48] WXZ: can you post the exact problem on one line? first you said something about internet, then you said you cant select ubuntu at grub [04:49] no, I don't have ubuntu on my computer right now at all [04:49] I installed xp, and it SOMEHOW erased my ubuntu [04:49] but when I did have ubuntu (I installed it twice) after about 3 days... my connection would go out [04:49] ubuntu: what are you doing? [04:50] im trying to copy the home folder to another HDD [04:50] I'd be using ubuntu right now, if it weren't for that problem [04:50] WXZ: maybe.. depending on how you did it, it may have reformatted the entire drive.. so now you can reinstall ubuntu and you'll have both.. always better to install xp first then ubuntu [04:50] ubuntu: you have mounted the home of another person/pc, correctly? [04:50] hey guys im trying to remote desktop into my work machine and i know theres a dialog box asking to accept my connection. how can i accept from here?

[04:52] i cant* [04:52] ubuntu: ah ok, the problem is not that you cant read the destination, the problem is you cant write to the target [04:52] hum [04:52] i guess so to [04:52] i cant do anythink in /var/www , i need something else? [04:52] i reformat that stuff 2 times [04:52] zmanning: I have never done that before but I guess there is a config file you can edit to auto accept [04:52] ubuntu: so why the hell have you used chmod -R 777 on the destination if you cant write to the target? [04:53] PeterDrop: nope.. write your html and move it to /var/www [04:53] ok I can't get the terminology correct, I want to make a dvd with like 4 or 5 videos on it, I know it can be done, and the quality will be less, how do I do it? [04:53] because i need to change permission to read... but now apparently i cant write on the destination for some reason [04:53] ubuntu: is the target mounted as rw?

[05:16] rolsworth: under the power settings [05:16] federico: no ram is reserved [05:16] how can I be sure that these extra social features of 10.04 aren't a distraction or a waste of resources/power? I don't see how this tight affiliation with hyped up social sites is worth being built in. [05:16] i checked power settings i do not see an option [05:16] rolsworth: system > preferences > power management preferences I believe [05:16] !lucid [05:16] 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 [05:16] rolsworth: or under the screensaver screen let me check [05:17] i'm confussed [05:17] how do you start using talika once you have installed it? [05:17] rolsworth: yes screen saver options lock screen is what you want ot disable. [05:17] man talika [05:17] itright: what is talika [05:18] histo, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Talika+applet?content=118267 [05:18] slow tonight [05:18] If it's not reserved, where are my 0.8 missing ram? [05:18] itright: checking it out hold up [05:19] !lucid > techhelper1 [05:19] techhelper1, please see my private message [05:19] maybe they went out an the hogs ate em [05:19] itright: you know compiz can show window previews right? [05:19] histo, what? [05:19] itright: but either way to run talika i assume it would have a shortcut or you can start it from a terminal or alt+f2 run box [05:20] itright: compiz has the ability to show window previews [05:20] itright: no need for talika I can mouse over the task bar and see a window preview. [05:20] histo, this is just a theme, not compiz [05:20] histo, type in terminal man talika [05:20] histo, im using this so i have more room on my panal [05:20] itright: It says something about switching between open windows using icons [05:20] histo: what he originally wanted to do is have the bottom panel only show the icon of running apps without text [05:21] itright: This is a gnome panel applet that lets you switch between open windows using icons. [05:21] :/ [05:21] itright: IdleOne ahh I see its a dock app. K. itright try hitting alt+f2 and typing in talika [05:21] tried that [05:22] IdleOne, - how it goes mate ? [05:22] itright: open a terminal and see what happens [05:22] hiexpo: good thank you. [05:22] histo, I tried that. [05:22] itright: apps > accessories > terminal [05:22] itright: do you get any output [05:22] it says the command doesnt exist [05:22] itright: how did you install it? [05:22] the .deb package [05:23] itright: perhaps it has some other name then for the launcher whats the name of the deb? [05:23] federico: how much ram do you have and what arch? x86 or 64? [05:23] itright: or open a terminal and start typing tal see what comes up or you can locate talika [05:24] histo, uhhh [05:24] histo, this is kind of random [05:24] itright: not really [05:25] adl what a paddle or something? [05:25] can i re-post my question [05:25] histo that does nothing [05:25] @freemail or something? [05:25] itright: I have no idea what the bin could be that installed. You might have to ask the person that made the deb. Or hunt around in your applications menu [05:25] freemailserver [05:26] cracked in the same logics [05:26] A while ago, ( a long while ago) i installed bleeding edge drivers for my GMA 4500X, now I have a nvidia gts 250 and I want to revert the changes back. The problem is, when i try to "Force Version" in synaptic, it want me to do things like remove Xorg... Im pretty sure that isn't good. [05:26] my computer freezes automatically [05:26] can anyone help to fix this [05:27] my webcam not connect on emesene and amsn [05:27] freezway: what do you mean by bleeding edge drivers? ones from nvidia? [05:27] lzcar, maybe its ms compatible only [05:27] no from the open source community [05:27] I have a problem with sound [05:28] they were the intel drivers [05:28] i fear the freezing is primarily coz of the os [05:28] freezway: well remove those and install whatever ones you want. [05:28] is anyone here? [05:28] when i try to remove it wants to remove xorg [05:28] k0ala: try disabling acpi see if that helps [05:28] can any one tell me how to fix it please [05:29] histo, earlier i thought it was because of the heating/ but the core temp is fairly good to - 53C [05:29] freezway: is there a reason you want to switch to an older driver? [05:29] k0ala: usually random lockups are power related [05:29] Okay, so after reboot, it auto-logged into either straight GNOME or Ubuntu Netbook Edition. It looks like GNOME because the windows are behaving like GNOME (I have titlebars, whereas UNR's titlebar goes straight into the panel. However, netbook-launcher did load up. Still have KDE cursor. I was able to Unlock gdmsetup, which was set to KDE. I chose Ubuntu Netbook Edition and rebooted. Still... [05:29] ...logged into what I think is straight GNOME, yet evidently netbook-launcher is set as a starup app. [05:29] histo this happens frequently but yes randomly [05:30] the person i try to connect using windows, the problem will? [05:30] histro: b/c i dont need the bleeding edge driver for harware i no longer own [05:30] k0ala: yeah try adding acpi=off to the boot options in grub [05:30] itright: right click on the bottom panel and add to panel [05:30] ok let me try that [05:30] k0ala: edit /etc/default/grub and add acpi=off after quiet splash [05:30] where do i find the grub ile to edit? [05:31] k0ala: what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:31] 9.10 [05:31] k0ala: yeah gksu gedit /etc/default/grub === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [05:31] k0ala: add it to the GRBU_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to "quiet splash acpi=off" [05:32] k0ala: then reboot [05:32] brb [05:32] done. rebotting [05:32] ? [05:32] brb [05:33] my webcam not connect on emesene and amsn [05:33] the person i try to connect using windows, the problem will? [05:33] IdleOne, it's not there [05:34] lzcar: try using cheese to see if you cam works [05:34] ok [05:34] itright: I just installed it. [05:34] itright: but it does not do exactly what i think you want [05:35] hello good folks, I am having issues with bacula, specifically, I am running jaunty and need bacula5.0.1 which resides in the lucid repos, what's the easiest way for me to upgrade this package? [05:35] histo if it works [05:35] itright: if I understand you well, you want to be able to start an application and not see the text in the tab it puts on the bottom panel correct? [05:35] IdleOne, what is it under "add to panal"? [05:35] IdleOne, yes that's right [05:35] sorry, most of my post got cut last time [05:36] itright: I am not sure how to do that but I think something like Docky does it [05:36] need to upgrade bacula, running jaunty, bacula 5.0.1 is in lucid repos, want to install just that package from lucid repos [05:36] IdleOne, i want to have only one panal, i don't think docky does that [05:36] histo, did that [05:36] most ubuntu programs are developed with which language? [05:36] can you tell me what exactly it will do [05:36] NOT a linux noob, but not accustomed to debian-basde systesm [05:37] itright: sorry I can't help more then that [05:37] IdleOne, where is talika? [05:37] bryanr, i guess Qt [05:37] bryanr: english is the most common language for computer velopment. [05:37] Qt? [05:37] bryanr: oh... C is the most common one. [05:37] ok [05:37] chickpea: not usualy a good idea to mix repos but packages.ubuntu.com will let you download the one package and list depends [05:37] :) [05:37] Qt for gui programming [05:37] ah [05:38] chickpea: you can't intermittantly switch repos.. jaunty is EOL or almost EOL.. time to upgrade [05:38] kde is based on Qt [05:38] can any one tell me please how to fix the sound in ubuntu [05:38] IdleOne, great! so I can just grab the .deb from there? [05:38] i was reading about it [05:38] so should i give up on gtk+? [05:38] is qt much better than it? [05:38] gtk+ is another [05:38] scunizi, well, it's actually on a sheevaplug, so not sure if I can really upgrade as space is limited [05:38] chickpea: yes. but you will be on your own pretty much for debugging if you have issues [05:38] i donno it totally depends on youtr choice [05:39] IdleOne, that's not an issue. I run gentoo-based distro and have been using linux (gentoo/sabayon) for years [05:39] ? [05:39] another question: what are good beginner apps to make? [05:39] I don't think htg+ will go away anytime soon. (gtk, typo) [05:39] chickpea: cool.. do you have a seperate /home partition? [05:39] chickpea: then go for it :) [05:39] bryanr: whatever problem you need to solve. [05:40] scunizi, no it's all on one big partition, but I do have an attached usb drive (1T) which I can download all the packages to for staging [05:40] I added an alias in /etc/zsh/zshrc for apt-get -o dir::cache=/my/usbdrive [05:40] histo, what does acpi=off do? i find an option to enable/disbale acpi in the bios too [05:41] histo, currently its enabled [05:41] histo ¿? [05:41] Thanks for the quick hit and run support there IdleOne and scunizi [05:41] chickpea: save /home and if you can netboot the sheeva or plug in an external cdrom you should be able to simply reinstall then replace the files you saved from home. [05:41] k0ala: disables acpi fromt he kernel [05:41] k0ala: if that seems to fix it maybe there is an issue with you bios and the current kernel [05:41] scunizi, acutally /home is irrelevant as there are no user accounts set up [05:42] just root [05:42] histo, i too fear that as it wsant ther ein 9.04 [05:42] when it was released [05:42] chickpea: then simply reinstall .. but I'd wait for the official release of 10.04 .. then you'll be set for 3 yrs or so.. unlike jaunty's 18 mths. [05:42] scunizi, I can probably just flash a new image on [05:43] chickpea: server on 10.04 is good for 5 yrs [05:43] err I just deleted my bottom panel :/ [05:43] scunizi, well that's more of a long term project, for now I just want to be able to run bacula and backup my clients [05:43] why do they make new release versions? [05:43] k0ala, so that you have roadmarkers [05:43] IdleOne, - oops restore it [05:43] fnome menu applications places ad system all dissappeared [05:44] hiexpo: yeah trying to add a new panel is not working [05:44] I'm sorry if I'm being rude by interrupting. I don't know how this works. But could anybody answer a question I have please? [05:44] linux is a "rolling release" system, without releases you would never be able to reinstall a "last stable build" [05:44] chickpea, whynot update the same version? [05:44] Ubuntu launches, I can log in as one user but when I log in my main account the screen goes black and won't display anything. Any ideas...? [05:44] gabe_: feel free to ask and someone will answer if they know :) [05:44] IdleOne, - u gomer lol [05:44] gabe_: welcome [05:44] Thank you. [05:44] like i have to install a new version every 4th and 10th month [05:45] hi guys, i trying to build a NAS based on ubuntu server, I wonder if there is some pre-build pack out there already [05:45] k0ala, you misunderstand entirely the idea of "versions" [05:45] chickpea, can u provide some insights? [05:45] IdleOne, - i did a goodone last night to i deleted my interface [05:45] k0ala, almost always new versions, i.e., karmic, are not really that different from older versions, i.e. jaunty [05:46] k0ala: you don't have to upgrade [05:46] they just roll up an iso with the most recent stable packages [05:46] chickpea, precisley, why do that have different support terms then? [05:46] I was running 9.04 but my system got corrupted. So I have to start from scratch. I managed to recover my home directory. So now I have that on an external drive. I have reinstalled Ubuntu on my computer now. I want to make my home directory from my external drive into the home directory for my user on my computer. Is there any way I can do this? [05:47] chickpea: that's not always so with debian and ubuntu.. there are underlying changes to the system other than package versions.. [05:47] because, linux applications are somewhat chaotic as they are upgraded and improved constantly, not like windows, therefore every once in a while you need a reference version [05:47] scunizi, yes, I realize that is true, but by and large they are the same [05:48] sure sometimes, new features will be added or a troublesome package will be remove (I'm looking at you pulseaudio) [05:48] chickpea, why they are then released with a new name? [05:48] hiexpo: !panels was useful :) [05:48] does ubuntu have an undelete, in console mode? [05:49] k0ala, so you can tell them apart, rather than just version 10.2 comes after 10.1 [05:49] IdleOne, - kool !panels [05:49] k0ala, think of versions like a trail of breadcrumbs [05:49] hiexpo: have to reset everything I had in them but got my bottom one back [05:50] sometimes you need to go back in time (like after a system crash) and need to reinstall to the last stable system you had [05:50] IdleOne, - lucky === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [05:50] Is there a known way to download like all of the *buntu ISO CD images, like Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc, and put them onto a DVD+-R and choose which live environment to boot? [05:50] chickpea, that is refereed to by the kernel version aint it? [05:50] so, somewhat arbitrarily the devs create releases, which are kind of like mile markers, just telling you where in the line of releases we are talking about [05:50] its listed out in the grub [05:51] whynot refer it with a number? [05:51] LinuxGuy2009, - oh please [05:51] k0ala, you need a lot of remedial linux reading, we are clogging the channel with chatter that is not really related to support [05:51] k0ala: discussion of the Ubuntu naming scheme is offtopic so please move to #ubuntu-offtopic. thank you [05:51] hiexpo: Oh please meaning what? [05:52] LinuxGuy2009, one distro one cd [05:52] hiexpo: In other words you dont have a clue. Thanks anyways. [05:52] LinuxGuy2009: if you figure it out. let me know I would like something like that [05:52] They do that with DVDs that come with some books. [05:53] IdleOne: Ok Ill keep looking and let you know. hehe [05:53] chickpea, IdleOne thanks [05:53] LinuxGuy2009, no its impossiable to do that [05:53] I installed eeebuntu on my eeepc and am at the login prompt and cannot get in with the password specified [05:53] I even blanked the password in /etc/shadow [05:53] hiexpo: No there are Linux books with DVDs that have multiple distros on one disk. Its possible. [05:53] any ideas what it wants? [05:54] goodafternoon [05:54] I am very green to ubuntu, always been running gentoo [05:54] Hi, is there a way to change color depth without creating a xorg.conf file ? [05:54] LinuxGuy2009, show how to boot lie that i wanna see [05:54] LinuxGuy2009: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628110 [05:54] i've install via 'apt-get install' where is the downloaded deb packages ?

I have reinstalled Ubuntu on my computer now. I want to make my home directory from my external drive into the home directory for my user on my computer. Is there any way I can do this? [05:56] humm..

I am trying to get it through SSH buch it seems slow :-( [06:05] total noob question: but does anyone know of a good online resource that explains the directory structures [06:05] gabe_: all ive seen it do is copy your 'documents' directory to the ysers /home/documents and set the wallpaper the same.

You could just copy the documents and other files to your users home dir. [06:06] I'll just muddle through [06:06] thanks . i've got the answer . the downloaded packages strored here ' /var/cache/apt/archives/' [06:06] Just stick with ubnutu chickpea [06:07] DoesitMatterYO, sorry, I've been using gentoo for 5 years [06:07] Dr_Willis: I tried doing that but I can't figure out how do delete all the files that were originally in my home directory.

[06:09] hi all [06:09] a intelligent bot :) [06:10] my webcam not connect on emesene and amsn [06:10] Dr_Willis: he has a backup of his home on an external drive and would like ubuntu to use that as his default home [06:10] I don't know how to do that [06:10] Dr_Willis: Yes, what IdleOne said is correct. [06:10] Does anyone know how to fix this? [06:10] ruby is a good language 4 ubuntu [06:10] Programming language to learn [06:11] DoesitMatterYO: Please stay on topic. [06:11] i am [06:11] gabe_: You will need to make sure the files are all owned by your user. then copy them over., or copy them over as root. then fix the ownership/permissions [06:11] ruby and ubuntu [06:11] DoesitMatterYO, this is basically a support channel, if you need help with ubuntu youre in the right place, for random chatter meaning posting the lines where that you have posted so far, that would go to #ubuntu-offtopic, if anyone has to repeat the same thing it will be considered trolling [06:11] gabe_: your user should be able to delete anything in your current home also. [06:11] <<< you are not. I have an ubuntu tattoo and when I wear a tshirt people can see it. me mentioning ubuntu did not make that statement on topic for this channel [06:12] DoesitMatterYO: please stick to support [06:12] Dr_Willis: I think I know how to copy them but I want to first clear everything out of my current default home directory. And I don't know how to do that. [06:12] Where else do I get help [06:12] :| [06:12] how can i mount an iso file in ubuntu 9.10? [06:12] Because I don't want Ubuntu to crash and die or anything [06:12] gabe_: make a dir.. use file manager, drag/drop them all to the new dir.. that way you dont lose anything you may want. [06:12] then I need to go with...FEDORA dun dun dun [06:12] gabe_: same as you would move/delete any otehr files with the file manager. [06:13] superstar google is your best frined type in bootable ISO [06:13] Dr_Willis: Thanks so much. Let me try that. If I have any troubles I'll come back. [06:13] will do, ta [06:13] Dr_Willis: I really appreciate your help. [06:13] gabe_: so you havent even tried anything then actually? [06:13] Yoshario, basically it's here and the forums, if no one is able to help you here right now you can try another time and day [06:13] Dr_Willis: No, I dried rm but it wouldn't let me do that. [06:13] gabe_: ive had issues in the past with using home 'settings' from other distros on different dirs [06:14] gabe_: rm, delets [06:14] deletes* [06:14] superstar:on my install of karmic it just opens iso files and for playing dvd's vlc player opens iso and plays the vid [06:14] Dr_Willis: Both home directories were ubuntu [06:14] gabe_: you dident use rm properly then. - I find it easier to just reconfigure things.. and copy over whatever actual data/docs i need. [06:14] gabe_: double check the ownership and permissions on the files you are copying over also. [06:14] Dr_Willis: Yes, using rm I meant to delete everything. [06:15] so anyone knows when those google OS netbooks comeing out based on UBUNTU [06:15] Dr_Willis: I did it as root. [06:15] gabe_: you dont need tobe root to delete stuff in your own home dir. You may want toc check out a few bash tutorials in the near future. [06:15] DoesitMatterYO, try #hardware [06:15] gabe_: at least you shouldent need tobe root. :) it depends on the file permissions./ownership [06:16] Dr_Willis: It gave me an error saying that I can't delete files in my home directory [06:16] gabe_: perhaps give the exact errors? if its about .gvfs thats igbnoreable.. thats a special dir. [06:16] Dr_Willis: let me do it again and I will give you a print out of the terminal. One sec.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:19] gabe_: you are not using rm properly [06:19] Dr_Willis: I understand that I need to use rmdir but I don't want to delete the directory, just the contents of it [06:20] gabe_: you can do it with 'rm' and not need rmdir. if its your OWN USERS home dir.. you should be able to use the normal gnome file manager and just selecxt/delete things as needed. [06:20] could anyone tell me please how i can make my bottom panal show only application icons and not a short text as well? [06:20] gabe_: Theres no need to be doiing this as root if the user can do it [06:20] gabe_: most of those dirs are empty anyway on a new users home. So why are you even worried about it? [06:20] Dr_Willis: I tried that first but about a minute later the files popped back in, one by one. [06:20] oh wow so now im a trigger happy control freak O_o [06:21] gabe_: You mean the empty dirs? or what files exactly? [06:21] !ot | tucemiux [06:21] tucemiux: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:21] tucemiux: but the guy wasent a noob! he had 200+ years of experience in linux! [06:21] can someone help? [06:21] Dr_Willis: The empty dirs and the files. I wan to clear it out so that when I copy the files from my external drive there aren't two of each directory and file. [06:22] I know it's possible I've done it once. [06:22] gabe_: there wont be 2.. one will overwrite the others. [06:22] gabe_: if they are named the same they will be over written [06:22] gabe_: i would just copy the files over and see what happens. [06:22] Dr_Willis, I can smell a troll when I see one, just wondering why he called me a control freak but most importantly how did he know im trigger happy O_o [06:22] gabe_: you are making a trivial thing way too hard. [06:23] Dr_Willis: Thank you very much. I will try that. I really appreciate it and I really appreciate your patience with me. [06:24] ok im going to go to the forums. see ya later [06:24] anyone knows how to fix the bug where wireless has higher priority over wired lan? Basically if I boot up my machine and I have a wire connected then I want to use the wire --not wireless-- wireless is a bit slower and sometimes doesnt work @ home [06:24] Dr_Willis: How can I copy the contents of the home directory on my external drive without copying the directory itself? [06:24] tucemiux, yeah [06:24] gabe_: if the dir names are the same.. it dosent matter. [06:24] gabe_: open up the dir.. drag/drop the files to the other dir if you wanted.. [06:25] is there a way to configure parameters for screensavers in gnome? [06:25] tucemiux, you need to unselect "connect automatically" under network connections [06:25] itright, is it possible? it's very **annoying**. Before I had an old router I would use sudo ifdown, sudo ifup -- but now I have a new router, I still have to do that and worst yet, I have to disable wireless first [06:25] Dr_Willis: That seems to be working. Thank you. [06:25] Is there a generally best and most user friendly DVD ripper/encoder? Also, best format to encode into? [06:25] gabe_: you could do a ctrl+a to select them all then ctrl+c to copy and then in the destination folder do ctrl+v to paste [06:25] you right click the connection then click properties [06:25] itright, do i use network manager? [06:25] yes [06:26] yikes! [06:26] IdleOne: Yep, that's what I did. For some reason I was thinking that I had to do it in terminal. [06:26] gabe_: yeah but why when you have such a nice GUI to do it with :) [06:26] gabe_: if the files permissions/ownership are wrong. You Might have to do somthing in the terminal [06:26] itright, i just went into wireless mode, im going to log off now while I can [06:27] Dr_Willis: Could I just log in as root and do it in the GUI? [06:27] gabe_: what is it with this root obeseeion? If you are a user.. altering your own files... You shouldent need to. [06:27] gabe_: if you do it as root then the files will be owned by root and your user won't have access [06:27] what does ubuntu use instead of xmms? [06:28] gabe_: IF the permissions are wrong, then you will want to learn to use the termional and fix them with the proper 'sudo chmod -R XXXXX' command [06:28] gabe_: forget root! root is not all it is cracked up to be [06:28] gabe_: you NEVER want to start the GUI as root. that can really goof things up [06:28] Dr_WIllis: But you just said that if the file's permission/ownership was wrong I would have to do it in the terminal. I assumed that meant I would have to do it as root. [06:28] gabe_: you dident even need to be root to delete the files you were trying int he term [06:28] itright, ok it did something really funky, im going to have to **reboot** just to make sure it worked, i deleted one profile, i actually had two in network manager [06:28] gabe_: i said 'IF' they are wrong. You need to check first. [06:29] gabe_: and fixing them is not that hard. [06:29] tucemiux, my instructions did something funky? [06:29] gabe_: step one: copy all the files you need/want over [06:29] Dr_Willis: Definitely agreed, though very occasionally i'll recommend using nautilus as root. [06:29] Dr_Willis: It's 93.4 GB so if it's a problem I won't know until tomorrow. [06:29] mordocai: ive seen running nautilus as root.. really goof up things in the past. [06:29] how top install emerald theme manager in debian lenny from repositories [06:29] GPRS: see #debian [06:29] gabe_: do a little to test if you are worried [06:29] itright, i think i went trigger happy, lost my net wired connection, came back to life in wireless [06:30] can someone help me... how do i troubleshoot this problem: I now boot up and my screen is black... it just stops loading. [06:30] GPRS: 'apt-get install whatever' after you add the proper repos. :) [06:30] itright, let me reboot, thanks for your help!!! [06:30] IdleOne: I'm not worried, I'm trying it now. It will take several hours so if I have any problems I'll come back and ask for more help tomorrow. [06:30] IdleOne, roadblock, my arch doesn't exist in lucid repos (armel) [06:30] gabe_: :) [06:30] gabe_: while it coppies - read up on the terminal and chown/chmod - start here perhaps -> http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/lts0070.html [06:31] chickpea: now you got me. build from source I guess? [06:31] Dr_Willis: Thank you very much. I'll take a look at that. [06:31] IdleOne, only thing left to do [06:31] at least gcc is already installed on my box [06:31] how do i fix this? [06:31] (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER [06:31] (EE) FBDEV(0): EGA/VGA planes are not yet supported by the fbdev driver [06:31] (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [06:31] (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER [06:31] (EE) FBDEV(0): EGA/VGA planes are not yet supported by the fbdev driver [06:31] ninjai__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:31] how do I get rid of this damn second panal and just have one with icons like windows 8 ? [06:31] 7 [06:32] itright: right click on it and delete panel [06:33] IdleOne, that doesnt solve the problem, running applications still take massive space up on the remaining panal [06:33] itright: you could right click on the application tab and send it to another desktop [06:34] itright: freeing up space on your main desktop [06:34] desktop panel that is [06:34] Dr_Willis: Thanks so much. That article is very helpful and I think that if I have any problems tomorrow, it will tell me what I need. [06:34] IdleOne, that is kind of painful though [06:34] itright: yeah but I don't know of a way to do what you are asking [06:35] itright, try avant-window-navigator. It can be made to look very windows7ish [06:35] itright, im using ubuntu , im not on a mac [06:36] tucemiux, I never said anything concerning macs [06:36] anyone installed a 2.6.34 kernel ?

[06:37] it always show the same problem. and my wireless and network going slow after some time [06:38] when i boot up my machine wireless is always the default even tough im connected via wire, wireless doesnt work, i have to release the ip and renew it, how can I make it so that the wired is the default if my machine is wired? [06:38] k0ala, just update grub [06:38] IdleOne: http://www.byui.edu/Societies/Linux/Archive/creating_a_linux_multi-boot_dvd_LWellman.pdf [06:38] k0ala, it should find it, if it doesnt find it then you will have to add a line in 40_custom -- whicch is very rare nowaays [06:39] **nowadays** [06:39] LinuxGuy2009: :) [06:41] LinuxGuy2009: awesome, this will be a fun little project now :) [06:42] tucemiux, thanks its helped and is detected now [06:42] k0ala, no problem [06:42] IdleOne: Yeah Im gonna try it out right now with 9.04 and 10.04 ISO images. Hope this works. If it does yeah its gonna be a fun project. Ill wind up doing a YouTube video tutorial too. :) [06:43] Â [06:43] LinuxGuy2009, youre going to create a LIVE multi boot DVD? [06:44] tucemiux: Yep with all buntu flavors all on one DVD. [06:44] LinuxGuy2009, if you are able to include ubuntu studio you will be my hero ***not easy*** , it has never been done [06:44] as far as I know [06:45] LinuxGuy2009: keep me updated. would be nice to have this figured before the 29th so we can hand out MultiBoot DVD's at the release party [06:45] tucemiux: hahaha [06:45] IdleOne: Heck yeah [06:45] so if i install the RC, i will get upgrade/update notification via apt still, right? or will i need to reinstall in a week? [06:45] IdleOne, where's the release party going to be at? O_o [06:46] tucemiux: all over the world [06:46] ive never installed a pre release before, so pardon my ignorance [06:46] there's never a release party in new york city, it's never important enough O_o [06:46] <^b0ss^_> Question: what software will convert a .dat file to a .avi files for ubuntu 9.10 ? thanks. [06:46] tucemiux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseParties [06:47] .dat is not a particularly definitive extension [06:47] rigel, if you install the release candidate, all you have to do to upgrade to the official version is a simple upgrade using apt [06:47] tucemiux: neat [06:47] i might do this tonight [06:47] im tired of this fscking fedora crap [06:47] meets and greets fellow ubunters [06:47] ^b0ss^_: see if vlc/mplayer can play it. mencoder/ffmpeg can proberly convert them to somthing better. but ive never done so. [06:48] IdleOne, thank you for reminding me there is no release party in new york city [06:48] tucemiux: none that you got an invite to at least. :) [06:48] tucemiux: so start your own!

[06:50] IdleOne, good idea and I have all 5 days to organize it, too bad it falls on a thursday when I have a night class [06:50] frankie_: Nah, i don't like some of the changes they've been doing. [06:50] frankie_: I'm switching to mint probably soon on this box(my laptop) [06:51] mordocai: i have ubuntu on my laptop, but when i bought a new desktop i decided hey, i want to mess with something new [06:51] mordocai : why do you not like new changes in particular? i am new to ubuntu is there something wrong ? [06:51] but fedora is a PITA for multimedia, and you have to deal with SELinux or turn it off [06:51] its generally a pain [06:52] Î [06:52] hi all ...plz tell me how to reinstall grub2 from the ubuntu 9.10 live cd [06:52] lol every question ppl have is always to do with grub [06:52] <^b0ss^_> Questions: does daemon tools support ubuntu ? or another good program that install a virtual rom ? thanks.

And Canonical seems to be ignoring community input [06:53] hello, is there a lucid or netbook remix channel I can inquire in? [06:53] ^b0ss^: ive heard of ppl using wine with it maybe? [06:53] yeah, when all people get used to grub they change for the all different grub2 :p [06:53] <^b0ss^_> na [06:53] <^b0ss^_> i dont like wine that much [06:53] ppl are having a lot of probs it seems like [06:53] !grub2 [06:53] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:53] mordocai : i understand . i have tried linux mint, fedora, ubuntu and few others and linuxmint and ubuntu were my favorite i think you enjoy linuxmint [06:53] <^b0ss^_> wine is very very unstable... [06:53] ^b0ss^_: it depends on exactly what you are installing where. [06:54] !netbook [06:54] ^b0ss^_: it also depends on the game. [06:54] wine is good if used with moderation [06:54] some apps run great in wine [06:54] Dr_Willis: didn't get u??

[06:58] ^b0ss^_: if the game has disk based copy protection that wine has issues with. Ive often had to use no-cd-cracks for games in wine. [06:58] <^b0ss^_> its a cue. bin m8 [06:58] histo, if pandora's not working then go the easy way using audacity, if you want pro use ardour, if you want more help try #opensourcemusicians [06:58] <^b0ss^_> its not a game [06:58] ^b0ss^_: then what is it?

[06:59] frankie_: actually you can be pretty safe in linux because you can compile it yourself and know the source code yourself. [06:59] ^b0ss^_: then you can use vlc or whatever to play the 'directory' there its mounted to. OR you can convert the cue/bin to iso and play with vlc [06:59] hello everybody :) I have my usb modem plugged in the usb port of my ubuntu box, about to get it running with wvdial however I've ran into the problem of what the device is in /dev/something.

[07:08] i belivbe :) [07:09] so he can go read some rh manuals i guess [07:09] Dr_Willis: is there a way to do that? [07:09] Dr_Willis: it does, but on rhel i like ntsysv command , kinda of like rcconf in ubuntu, does great job :) [07:09] is upgrading easy? will it be just downloading the upgrade and installing to ubuntu 10? [07:10] frankie_: imo i like clean installs, much less hassel that way :) [07:10] histo: No idea. I dont use IM progams. and i rarely mess with sound. But at least now youy have a clear question. [07:10] thank you geekpheak i like clean installs too [07:10] geekphreak: it says command not found for ntsysv [07:10] How do I play the output of my speakers to my microphone input? [07:10] Dr_Willis: is that better? [07:10] apctr: it should be there man , [07:11] apctr: how about chkconfig ? [07:11] geekphreak: manual entry for chkconfig is available. [07:11] apctr: look for rhel channel for rest command list [07:11] histo: its not really a mic input if you are doing it internally. The jackd service might let you do somt fancy tweaking also. [07:11] geekphreak: and manual for ntsysv is also available [07:12] histo: check the im app - it might have some input options also. if you set it to pcm or somnthing it might allredy be able to do it. [07:12] apctr: i know that command is there , you prob. dont have permisson , anyways like i said this room is not for rhel sorry [07:12] Dr_Willis: Nah it doesn't first place I checked [07:13] geekphreak: My prob is in ubuntu not in rhel.. === serge111122321 is now known as serge11 [07:14] apctr: well then ask, you said you are on rhel , make up your mind , [07:15] geekphreak: how to check service name in 9.10? [07:15] apctr: i had told you the answer for it [07:15] geekphreak: and that particular service is running or not? [07:15] apctr: you can use rcconf for that purpose, you will need to instll it [07:16] hello [07:16] i need help finding a terminal command: i currently have a usb-cardreader connected to my box but not installed - how do i list its model/name so that i can google how to install it further? :) [07:16] any java programmers here?

[07:19] nilsma: plug a card into it and check 'dmesg' output at the end. <<<<< at the end.. [07:19] nilsma: its a log file.. new events are at the end [07:19] oh :) [07:20] nilsma: or 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and plug in a gizmo and watch the output [07:20] or dmesg | grep usb :d [07:21] One neat trick i got in KDE is desktop widgits that show log files in windows. :) [07:21] Dr_Willis: it says usb disconnect, then new usb found, and finally config #1 chosen (i disconnected it and connected it again), but no modelname or anything like that [07:21] Dr_Willis: wow really [07:21] SolarisBoy: hey man :) [07:22] nilsma: is it connected? [07:22] nilsma: hae some patience.. it should eventually show some 'device sd##' type info thats the device of the card you plugged in. [07:22] Gryllida: hey :) [07:22] rumpsy, hi [07:22] cool [07:22] nilsma: Ive never had to do anything special to get USB card readers working properly befor.

[07:47] solotim: you doing a lot of transfers or just a few? [07:47] Dr_Willis: a lot [07:48] solotim: sshfs is easy to get some quick transfers done. NFS for more permenet setups [07:48] mopperwhite 我是美国人,nine? [07:48] solotim: you may want to check out NFS then. [07:48] 真的？！ [07:48] oh no. i think my ime has learned [07:48] hi [07:48] http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=34088_91e19e769dbc42f191c1dfb891edf9c5 === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [07:48] are there any good desktop widget programs besides desklets? [07:48] solotim: +1 for nfs [07:49] Dr_Willis: I'v already installed samba, I can accesss windows box, but can samba be used for accessing linux machine? [07:49] frankie_: google has their own widgets , opera can do widgits also. [07:49] There is not anyone in Ubuntu-cn,so I come here. [07:49] solotim: yes it can. NFS will be a bit faster.. but harder to setup [07:49] hey i would like to know what is in linux party lunch date (what they do ?) [07:49] Dr_Willis: thanks, I prefer easy one, [07:49] solotim: install samba on the boxs - enable some shares.. transfer stuff. I always edit the smb.conf and enable the users 'home' shares. [07:49] eh... [07:50] solotim: samba can be harder in ways [07:50] dr_willis: i mean desktop widgets ? [07:50] Dr_Willis: no, samba is relatively easy [07:50] frankie_: google widgits and opersa run on the desktop yes.. BUt i rarely use them. [07:50] hms [07:50] solotim: it CAN BE.. or it can be a pain. [07:50] solotim: ive seen many a samba issue in here. :) [07:51] nfs involves two files [07:51] hmm [07:51] Dr_Willis: oh, I'm newbie regarding this [07:51] All my Windows program can't work on Wine except iTunes. [07:51] moetunes: yep. and its faster then samba for file trasnfers.. but im not sure how much faster. [07:51] yep [07:51] sshfs is the slowest I would imageine.. but real easy to get going 'on the fly' [07:51] one last question.. is it possibnle for my zune mp3 player to work on linux ? im not very hopeful [07:52] Dr_Willis: do you mean I should install samba on both machine? [07:52] frankie_: it should mount ok [07:52] solotim: yes basically. [07:53] Dr_Willis: OK, so if I'm not going to use samba, what is my next try then? [07:53] solotim: i always set up the users 'home' shares feature in samba on new installs. So i can get to any users home, from any machine on my lan [07:53] solotim: 'nfs' or 'sshfs' [07:53] solotim: you transfering 100+GB files? or snything special?

Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [07:54] hello all [07:54] solotim: nfs will keep the proper linux permissions/ownership also i recall.. samba can be quirky with that. [07:54] Dr_Willis: well not daily thing, but I sometimes [07:54] so im guessing xserver 1.8 is new and fglrx doesnt support it... so is 10.04 launching without fglrx? [07:54] hi~ anyone know if there is a software to convert text files codepages and encodings and any suggestion on GUI text editor that can edit 100+ MB file? [07:54] Dr_Willis: looks nice, thanks [07:55] solotim: NFS is worth learning about time time.. [07:55] 7.95 aint bad for a vps right? [07:55] I use netcat for transfers - nfs for mounting vids from the server etc [07:55] hello geekphreak [07:55] geekphreak: you got weechat going? :) [07:55] Dr_Willis: yep i am on it [07:55] geekphreak: version 0.3.0?

[07:55] Dr_Willis: the one in repo , site was not opening :( [07:55] solotim: you dont really configure sshfs. you 'start' it :) [07:56] solotim: sshfs uses ssh on both machines. nfs has its own wiki page. not too hard to setup. but its for perment type shares normally [07:56] wildbat: 100mb? [07:56] solotim: sshfs can make a 'share' on the fly [07:56] !nfs | solotim [07:56] solotim: nfs is the network file system.

[08:43] Dr_Willis, yeah i know ...funny thing they don't use ldconfig [08:43] i cant install updated nvidia drivers without X hating me [08:44] Oer: think it has something to do with C++, because its an error from ./configure script. apt-cach search fox give me quit alot. === ignacy is now known as igancy_m [08:44] please tell me where i can find my backup program installed?

[08:50] Someone know quick, easy way to scan Windows system for viruses using a Live CD? [08:50] keyboard and mouse doesnt work after somtime on my sytem..how do i resolve it? [08:50] Do we have to install lucid from a cd or can we just upgrade directly from karmic? [08:50] yeah i rebooted [08:50] shawnboy: theres live cd's out designed to do that. Check the distrowatch web site. [08:50] ravenkhan: in terminal type part and hit the tab button twice [08:50] meowubuntu i rebotted [08:50] if i delete my xorg.conf will x just start w/ a default one next time?

[08:51] yeah i hit i got the list [08:51] shawnboy: it may of been some other av company with the live cd.. but i saw one just a few weeks ago [08:51] adnan@ubuntu:~$ part [08:51] parted partimage partprobe partx [08:51] shawnboy: if you are going to be through.. may as well scann with as many AV tools as you can find. :) [08:51] ravenkhan: then in terminal do which partimage [08:52] its saying not logged in as root [08:52] how can i login as a root? [08:52] shawnboy: ive heard of some people runnijng various AV tools and getting false positives on some very critical system files in Ubuntu.

[08:53] !su [08:53] 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) [08:53] You normally dont want to use 'su -' in ubuntu use sudo. [08:54] hi [08:54] su - ==> shortcut for 'su root' i belive [08:54] Now which package install libcclc? [08:54] but when i give password of my root [08:54] !find libcclc [08:54] Package/file libcclc does not exist in karmic [08:54] it says authentification failure? [08:54] ravenkhan: there is no default root password.. sudo want your users password. [08:55] ravenkhan: the sudo password is your login password [08:55] ravenkhan: so thats one reasin you dont use 'su -' in ubuntu normally [08:55] now which package install adobe flash [08:56] !flash [08:56] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:56] now which package install adobe flash for ubuntu 9.10 64 bit [08:56] hrmm [08:56] now which package install adobe flash for ubuntu 9.10 64 bit [08:56] did anyboay read my question [08:57] name [08:57] can anybody help me in using partimage???

[08:58] indian -nagin [08:58] jc-denton: there's no log here for ssh - on my comp [08:58] but I want to see where the connection breaks [08:58] its urgent [08:58] You can enable verbose logging for ssh and other services in their configs normally [08:58] http://csociety.ecn.purdue.edu/~sigos/projects/ssh/forwarding/ [08:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-13674.html [08:58] when ubuntu mounts a samba share using the "connect to server" dialog under places, WHERE does it mount the folders? Or are they mounted locally at all? I'm trying to edit my remote music collection using easytag and easytag only "sees" local folders afaikt [08:58] sshd can log (and does by default) all connections it forwards. [08:58] I didn't change anything on the settings [08:58] greggomano: check the .gvfs dir [08:58] this leaves me with two questions [08:58] where can I find the logs? [08:59] Dr_Willis - ok [08:59] auth.logs keeps the logins, but doesn't say anything about tunnels [08:59] and what if the tunnel breaks because of some reason [08:59] if i do chmod g+s on a directory, does that force all files in that directory to inherit the group? [09:00] is +s an option? [09:00] yeah it's the sticky bit [09:00] k [09:00] hello? [09:01] Jello [09:01] anybody answering me? [09:01] gnuyen: chmod -R for recursive [09:02] moetunes, won't that do files too? i don't think i want the files to be sticky [09:03] gnuyen: yep - that's what recursive is [09:04] i wanted to know what should i backup so that in future anything goes wrong i can restore system back to earlier point? [09:04] gnuyen: so without the -R it should just chmod the directory [09:05] i wanted to know what should i backup so that in future anything goes wrong i can restore system back to earlier point? [09:05] hi guys [09:05] ravenkhan: everything [09:06] intergalactic human baby [09:06] I just backup my home and a few configs.. so i can eaially reinstll if needed [09:06] and clone my packages listing [09:06] gnuyen that's not the sticky bit, thats the set gid bit [09:06] sticky bit is T [09:06] please tell me in details [09:06] but notice he did say... anything... [09:06] ravenkhan: everything [09:07] What's the best way to watch an AVI in Ubuntu 9.10? Its a really slow computer === root is now known as Guest5340 [09:07] everything i dont think so [09:07] littledani, oh thanks [09:07] your entire storage, partition by partition [09:07] dcmeese: it depends more on th CODEC the avi is using. [09:07] then you won't get what you asked for [09:07] basically i want everyone in the www-data group to be able to write to /var/www [09:07] dcmeese: and how slow is slow.. and what res/codec is the avi? [09:07] including over the new files people make there [09:07] i just want to restore system settings [09:07] not the data which is there in drives [09:07] Dr_Willis: Lemme check. [09:07] dcmeese: mplayer is your best bet - I used to use vlc but the newer version uses so much more cpu [09:08] Anyone know how I can set Ubuntu to never automatically adjust my screen brightness [09:08] ok anyone know much about ubuntu mini [09:08] you can set s bit for user and for group and it helps to run something as another user or group. [09:08] meowbuntu: do you? [09:08] ravenkhan: system configs are in /etc/ for the most part. [09:08] using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 [09:08] i am thinking of testing it on my computer as ubuntu runs a bit slow for me with hangups [09:08] ^ nsadmin, [09:09] lags etc [09:09] are you swapping? [09:09] i know ubuntu mini is designed for netbooks mainly [09:09] ravenkhan: if you dont ant to do a full 'everything' backup' then figure out what you do want to backup. then use any of the backup tools that work how you want. Theres no one 'best' answer [09:10] !backup [09:10] 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 [09:10] but on my p4 ubuntu is not so good [09:10] nsadmin, i might do if it runs better === elric is now known as linucks [09:10] no I mean are you using any swap [09:10] nsadmin, i know puppy runs great better than ubuntu but it dies not have splix printer drivers adn i cant use my printer [09:11] cool... so are you using any swap? [09:11] nsadmin, no swap never is used in my experance it just takes up space on hdd === joeyjone- is now known as joeyjones [09:11] but i have it there incase [09:11] you're sure that for example you're not in swap now? [09:12] Guys, ubuntu 9.10 will probably support most macbookpro drivers, right? [09:12] how do I upgrade download and install update via the terminals? [09:12] nsadmin, as i said swap is 0 never used in my eperance [09:12] system monitor is always 0 swap [09:13] nmvictor: do you mean install updates from terminal or upgrade ubuntu version in terminal? [09:13] hmm... I'm not sure a smaller ubuntu would help... how many server daemons do you run? [09:13] what's your load average right now? [09:13] ay what are they [09:14] deamons i just conect to internet [09:14] things like sshd, httpd [09:14] load average of cpu, ram etc [09:14] meowbuntu, run uptime [09:14] what are they sshd ...... ??? [09:14] how [09:15] I know screen brightness doesn't seem all that important a problem, but when I'm reading on screen for a short bit and go to scroll down or move the mouse the brightness immediately adjusts on it's own [09:15] 20:15:06 up 33 min, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.06, 0.09 [09:15] sshd is the program that listens on port 22 and lets others ssh login to your machine remotely [09:15] your computer is doing very little right now [09:15] no i dont do that [09:15] I don't want Ubuntu to decide what brightness I want, I'll choose for myself thanks [09:16] any thoughts? [09:16] yes i dont have a webbrowser running just xchat [09:16] hold on [09:16] I'm not sure a smaller ubuntu will help you... you're not swapping and your cpu is more than 99% idle at the moment [09:17] Gadu: install updates [09:17] nsadmin, if i run say a few woindoes like facebook, gmail etc tehn 70-95% cpu is used [09:18] nmvictor: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [09:18] on average just for forefox or even chromeium [09:18] nsadmin, thats because i am not doing much on computer [09:18] ok, so you should look at your uptime (for load avg) and free (for seeing how much free ram and if you're swappng) [09:18] when it's under load [09:19] meowbuntu: the cpu usage might be X - when it's that high use top in terminal to see [09:19] if i started doing things like i said running firefox having several windows open etc then it does [09:19] looking at it now will get low usage numbers [09:19] Gadu: thanks [09:19] i run top lots [09:19] nmvictor: np mate [09:19] moetunes, i do use top lots [09:19] k [09:19] in my experience top takes up a bit of cpu itself [09:19] cze [09:20] aha [09:20] nsadmin: I agree [09:20] everywhere I find online says to uncheck "Dim display when idle" to fix my problem but it's already unchecked [09:20] is there a way to invert your window's colors without installing compiz? [09:20] overall for general use pupy linux is the best i used [09:20] sometimes when I run top, guess what's mostly on top.... === Nijverheid is now known as Guest55992 [09:21] why are you telling us that? :) [09:21] cept: permanently or temporarily? [09:21] Gadu, temporarily [09:21] meowbuntu, puppy is a pain [09:21] not to the best of my knowledge [09:21] nsadmin, atm cpu is running between 90 - 100 % in total [09:21] puppy tends to go to bathroom a lot [09:22] lol [09:22] lol [09:22] Gadu, thanks [09:22] puppy is very limited in the apps available [09:23] cept, y is puppy a pain it works great for me and its easy to use [09:23] nsadmin, no puppy tends to run just great [09:23] meowbuntu, because of dependency hell and lack of packages [09:23] I think you're really here to talk about puppys! [09:24] lol [09:24] Ill stick with TinyCore Linux over Puppy These days. [09:24] moetunes, have you looked into puppy lately 431 has lots of apps, quirky puppy has heaps too. dpup uses daboan apps but does not run all. upup uses ubuntu apps but does not run all. pupy is greeat [09:24] good ol' shingledecker [09:24] cept, well i dont have a problem with puppy [09:25] its mnore stable on my computer than puppy [09:25] i do like ubuntu lots its still a great os [09:25] meowbuntu: it didn't have nfs so i gave it the flick [09:25] nfs are you sure [09:25] yep [09:25] moes, when did you last use pupy [09:25] nfs server or client or both? [09:25] ^ moetunes [09:26] after installing mysql-doc, How do I access it? [09:26] Does anyone know of a way to save a copy of a web page (like wget) and save the stylesheets / js inlined into a single html file? [09:26] nmvictor: it may have some doc files in /usr/share/docs now [09:26] nmvictor, type it in terminal [09:26] march last year meowbuntu - i'm happy with the os i have now [09:26] I am enjoying ubuntu 10.04 rc [09:27] zonyl: inlined , i dont think so, you will be able to get external style.css :d [09:27] well you may find pupy has improved since then [09:27] ^ moetunes [09:27] moes, pupy can install as frugal so you can test it without messing up ubuntu [09:27] meowbuntu: thnx for the info but i'm not interedted [09:28] s/interedted/interested [09:28] is there a way that i can do sort of a "repair install"? [09:28] moetunes, i am trying to figure out if ubuntu mini runs better than ubuntu itself. that is all [09:28] Dr_Willis: meowbuntu Is ther an emacs exteanstion to access such a doc in just a set of key bindings? [09:28] hey I'm having issues running a .bin file. I'm new to linux so this isn't second nature quite yet [09:28] Fiveways, what for [09:28] geekphreak: Yah. Unfortunately I was trying to reduce a very complex page down to a single html file for ease of use. I though there may be a clever wget / httrack syntax or firefox plugin that could do this somehow. [09:29] I need an MPEG-1 MP3 decoder for ubuntu 9.10 [09:29] nmvictor: i just point firefox to the docs dir. and bookmark it. [09:29] meowbuntu: because the nvidia drivers are mucking things up [09:29] Altrag: open terminal then sudo chmod +x file.bin then sudo ./file.bin [09:29] meowbuntu: turn off unused daemons in ubuntu is my first priority [09:29] where's the root trash folder in 9.1 [09:29] ive done some things suggested in the forums [09:29] dcmeese, get the restricted-extras package [09:29] still not working though [09:29] zonyl: not that i know off sorry [09:29] thank you phreak. [09:30] Fiveways, uninstall the drivers then [09:30] Fiveways: I like to chroot into my system from a livecd and uninstall the offending package (in your case nvidia drivers) just be careful lol [09:30] moetunes, how can i do that [09:30] zonyl: cant you do it manually , if it just 1 file? [09:30] ive gotten rid of em [09:30] Fireways: what's still broken? [09:30] nvm found it: /root/.local/share/Trash/files [09:30] Dr_Willis: so i guess id have to point emacs-w3m to the docs directory and bookmark it, wish their was some extension to access and even search through the doc, like with javadoc-help in emacs. [09:30] thats not much of a solution for me though [09:31] Fiveways, can you get into your os [09:31] meowbuntu: the services are what I call daemons - there's a menu entry for it [09:31] yeah, only terminal tho [09:31] geekphreak: There are like 40+ external css / js files. Ill do it manually now, just wondering from an academic standpoint if there was a better way. [09:31] moetunes, what is that [09:31] Fiveways: did you try deleting or using a backed up copy of your xorg.conf? [09:31] things like... sshd httpd [09:31] yup [09:31] meowbuntu: Where do I get it? [09:32] zonyl: good luck [09:32] Fiveways: what happened when you deleted it? [09:32] ideally what i'd like to do is find a way that i could use ubuntu AND updated drivers [09:32] lol [09:32] dcmeese, try using symaptic [09:32] Fiveways: what card do you have (brand included please) [09:32] meowbuntu: services like bluetooth etc that you might not use [09:33] meowbuntu, how much ram do you have? [09:33] I had a good laugh a couple of day ago installing 9.10 on a laptop given to me. I stuck the CD in the drive, booted, and the install screen appeared like normal. I selected 'install' and the display would go back and reboot. After about 2 hours of messing with ACPI / NOAPIC / etc I finally figured out that there was no hard drive in the machine!! :) [09:34] gadu: theyre just pny 7900GS' [09:34] meowbuntu: Its ubuntu-restricted-extras (DLing now) [09:35] Fiveways: hmm, should have worked just fine with the latest drivers. did you install the latest nvidia driver from "Hardware Drivers" on a fully updated Ubuntu 9.10 installation? [09:35] not exactly sure why ubuntu was crashing on install though because of no hard drive.. Just figured it was a thinkpad compatibility issue. [09:35] i downloaded it from the nvidia site [09:36] Fiveways: I highly recommend the ones in "Hardware Drivers" under "Administration" [09:36] Fiveways, that was your forst mistake [09:36] forst = first [09:37] Fiveways: Have you tried 'envyng' ? Is that still recommended for folks to use? [09:37] i saw someone mention it in the forums [09:37] !envyng [09:37] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [09:37] envy is only recommend if the driver from hardware drivers doesn't work as well as the drivers directly from the site [09:37] hi [09:37] Fiveways: That program has saved me LOTS of time on machines [09:38] Fiveways, you need to run "hardware drivers" it will detect and install the drivers needed for most nvida drivers. [09:38] i'v a problem with installing flash under ubuntu 10.04 . Is there someone who would like to help me please ? [09:38] when i first installed it i got some popup telling me there were new drivers [09:38] and when i followed that it broke too [09:38] Fiveways, system>administration>hardwaew Drivers [09:38] lol === Guest55992 is now known as Nijverheid [09:38] ive never had any problems with ubuntu in the past [09:38] conflicting packages - not installing flashplugin-installer [09:38] Errors were encountered while processing: [09:38] /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-installer_10.0.45.2ubuntu1_amd64.deb [09:38] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [09:39] :'( [09:39] micka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I'm already well versed in other operating systems so it doesn't matter if it's relatively technical [09:40] Fiveways: I've only had the problem you describe with EVGA cards [09:40] lol [09:40] for linux its not always good s each linux os is different. usually they only have general linux drivers [09:41] Altrag: google's your best friend [09:41] needs help on http://paste.ubuntu.com/421553/ please :( [09:41] Altrag, google [09:41] !ask | micka [09:41] micka: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:42] anyone know mIRC scripting? [09:42] Altrag: Are you well versed in *nix operating systems or just Mac/Windows? You'll generally find two types of books that cater to one or the other type of reader.

[09:44] Altrag, consult google as your first point of call. how new are you to linux [09:44] how can i backup ubuntu from safe mode terminal? [09:44] Altrag: Then you probably just look for your standard beginner Ubuntu / linux books. I came from the DecUNIX world myself originally so it wasnt as big of a leap from MSDOS.

[09:46] Gadu, easy use screen settings on the srceen the buttone there [09:46] and chrome doesnt even have flash [09:46] Altrag, ?????? [09:46] yes [09:46] meowbuntu: my screen brightness was unwantingly adjusting my brightness automatically even with "Dim display when idle" was unchecked [09:46] Altrag, pm = privet message [09:47] Hey, what's the best way to do a dist-upgrade when you have limited HDD space available? Is it possible to download the packages onto an external drive? [09:47] liminal: were you using the flash plugin from firefox addons or from ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[09:52] I dont think the plugin is making me crash, I think its calling up my graphic card drivers which is forcing the crash [09:52] I think its graphic card related, because I was using the ATI priority driver but I couldn't activate it [09:52] liminal, nee dmore information, like what you are trying to do [09:53] then when I reinstalled the driver my screen was dead, so I had to uninstall it completely [09:53] liminal: there's a hidden file called .xsession-errors - that will give a clue [09:53] hidden where? [09:54] liminal: in your home folder - ctrl+h in nautilus to show it [09:55] okay im looking at it [09:55] it contains errors, but no times so how do i know if its related [09:57] hi [09:57] having an issue with my dlink dwl-g122 usb: http://pastebin.com/jRUvaJcJ [09:57] where "Fel" = error [09:58] where can i see the logs of the cause of my last crash [09:58] or the last crash in chrome [09:58] or firefox [09:59] liminal, you should install the debug version of ffox.

[10:21] I agree [10:21] I'm having huge problems networking via samba with a vista machine [10:22] got it installed, get to the point where you convert, then it crashes [10:22] ok, one more question - is there any program available that will allow me to take streaming video (/dev/video0), add a timestamp and some other text, and save it as a file? [10:22] i have tried ffmpeg and it does not support that. === root is now known as Guest1286 [10:22] so basicly, my problem is this.. i have random applications, randomly crashing.. so I assume its related to my graphic card driver [10:22] cjdevlin: vlc might do that [10:22] yeah going back to the last version worked, the current drivers must be broken [10:23] liminal: I read your pastebin, doesn't seem to be your graphic card's driver but your X server [10:23] sorry, I thought xserver was a graphic card driver [10:23] whats the difference? [10:23] x11 is the gui [10:23] well lowlevel gui controls anway === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [10:24] I think I removed my ATI driver and installed xserver [10:24] liminal: no, Xserver is what generates the graphics, the driver works at a lower level it's what links your hardware with your OS [10:24] Im looking for a edia center, any preferred one? [10:25] X interfaces with video drivers written for it to provide low level drawing capabilities as well as windowing and other features that higher level gui's such as gnome use to build their stuff [10:25] liminal: xserver installs by default, without it you have no Graphical User Interface (GUI) [10:25] moetunes: the features page, under a/v filters has a 'logo overlay' option, but it seems that only can handle a static image. i would like to be able to do a timestamp. and i tried #vlc, but there was no one available at the time i tried to get more answers. [10:25] input control as well === Nijverheid is now known as Guest80359 [10:25] when I scanned hardware drivers it showed the ATI priority driver, but it wasnt activated [10:25] could someone help me out with networking problems? it will probably consume a fair bit of time [10:25] when I tried to activate it, it crashed. [10:25] so I reinstalled the whole thing, but then I did get any video output from the card [10:26] !someone | bjs [10:26] bjs: 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? [10:26] so I completely removed it, [10:26] now I when i scan hardware drivers I get nothing back [10:26] but I do get a video output [10:26] Ddorda, could you clarify a bit? something like mediatomb? xbmc? or other [10:27] bazhang: that's what Im asking, does anyone can recommend for any good one? Ive never tested these [10:27] Ddorda: XBMC will be a good place to start. [10:27] Ddorda, xbmc is xboxmediacentre, /msg ubottu info mediatomb for info on the other one I mentioned [10:28] ok... I'm trying to access samba shares on my vista machine from my ubu machine, It fails to retreive share list. Ping shows that names are resolving incorrectly... all names resolve to one of 2 addresses that are not on my network, I can even resolve random characters to one of those 2 addresses [10:28] thanks you both, Ill take a it. thanks [10:28] why not mythbuntu for Ddorda? [10:28] what hardware drivers for my graphic card should I have loaded [10:28] Ddorda, unless you mean something like mythbuntu, ie dvr capable media centre [10:28] Ddorda: XBMC (clearly) is the most popular one, Mythbuntu is another popular one along with LinuxMC, although I prefer to use specific-task applications (mplayer, rhythmbox, eog, etc...) [10:29] join #symfony [10:29] bjs: can you reach them by IP? [10:29] I will try xbmc than. if I won't like it Ill try mythubuntu [10:29] when I get my graphic card working, im going to get myth [10:30] hii [10:30] nope "Connect to server" using the IP fails as well [10:30] dp i need a hardware driver for my ati card [10:30] can anyone tell me how can i achieve screen resolution of 1024x768 or more [10:30] or will xserver do enough? [10:30] hi [10:31] liminal: understand, xserver and a driver are different elements [10:31] liminal: for what I saw in your pastebin, xserver is the one that's failing, not your video card's driver [10:31] \help [10:31] okay, but if i dont have a driver loaded, how can i see what im s4eeing now [10:31] hanahpu: nope "Connect to server" using the IP fails as well [10:31] opps sry [10:31] liminal: because you do have a driver loaded [10:32] hi there! i cannot print my office document on A5 what shd i do? [10:32] how come when i scan for hardware drivers nothing comes back? [10:32] what version of xserver should i install? === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [10:32] from the command line, as i can't get symantic up [10:32] liminal: because there is no proprietary driver for your vcard, you're using the open source/free one; you're probably using either a old ati card or a very new ati card [10:33] its not that old, not that new [10:33] about a year [10:33] can anyone tell me how can i achieve screen resolution of 1024x768 or more [10:34] When I type my the cpu info command in terminal it shows the cpu as if it was 800 mhz, even though I know its 2ghz. Is this something I should care about? [10:34] liminal: if you want to use proprietary driver go to ati's site and look for it; but I really think your problem is caused by a faulty xserver; are you by any chance using Lucid (10.04)? [10:34] nope im using 9.10 32 [10:34] hi there! i cannot print my office document on A5 what shd i do? [10:35] i got the driver from ati website [10:35] installed it, but it killed my video output completely [10:35] liminal: is a fresh install or it used to work fine before? [10:35] so had to remove it [10:35] fresh === Guest80359 is now known as Nijverheid [10:35] KasperWWWWWWWWWW: browse to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq and check what it is running at [10:35] i think reinstalling xserver is good idea [10:36] which one should i get? [10:36] !who | liminal [10:36] liminal: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [10:37] liminal: fixing your problem can be difficult for not experienced users, you may try reinstalling as you don't have many stuff configured/saved as it is a fresh install; reinstalling xserver is not as trivial as reinstalling a regular application [10:37] hello [10:37] reinstalling the whole thing? [10:37] anybody listening me? [10:37] liminal: you may try reinstalling that driver (from the ati's website) but I wouldn't be very optimistic [10:38] hunahpu: seems pointless as you say, I havent configured it much, ill just end up back where i started [10:38] !patience | ravenkhan [10:38] i set the preference to A5 but it doesn't print it on A5 [10:38] ravenkhan: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[10:53] morrowyn: the ubuntu server guide is good [10:54] harjot: man convert should give a clue [10:54] harjot: I think you'll have to run inkscape from the command line [10:54] moetunes: convert is imagemagick, not inkscape [10:54] k [10:54] harjot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820965 try this [10:55] (Depends what you want to convert of course, but it gives the principles) [10:55] hello! [10:56] ok thanks [10:56] if i wanted to convert a whole folder? [10:56] harjot: yeah, it shows how you can do that with a loop [10:56] for file in *.svg do; inkscape --blah $file; done [10:56] etc [10:56] .. [10:57] ok thanks [10:57] harjot: what do you want to convert to what ?

[10:58] You Mean SVG (vector) to png (bitmapp) ? [10:58] but ive got an icon pack that doesnt work, cause it has a scalable folder with pngs and no svgs [10:59] so i want png to svg [10:59] bitmap to vecotr [10:59] harjot: http://inkscape.modevia.com/inkscape-man.html#options [10:59] not sure it does quite what you want though I guess - you can do this ok manually with the gui though ? [11:00] can anyone help me? [11:00] linxeh: i think it works [11:00] to achieve screen resolution of 1024x768 [11:01] ravenkhan: you need to at least tell the video card... [11:01] ravenkhan: check the forums for your exact video card? (you did mention it was some SiS earlier) [11:01] o [11:01] Ive never used a SIS or S3 brand cards. I know to avoide them [11:02] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [11:02] sis has poor support [11:02] Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA [11:02] yeah [11:02] SiS is very poor in many ways. [11:02] tell me about that [11:02] harjot: hmm; you might not be able to script it all with inkscape I guess. how many do you need to convert ? [11:02] a folder [11:03] yeah but that could be 10 icons or it could be a million [11:03] like you said before, wont something similar to this work? for file in *.svg do; inkscape --blah $file; done [11:03] about 50-100 icons [11:03] linxeh: not over 300 [11:03] yeah but it doesnt look like the inkscape command line has an export svg option [11:03] ravenkhan: i know very little about those cards. Other then to suggest checking the forums [11:04] linxeh: really? [11:04] ravenkhan: its possible 10.04 release may have some updates for it [11:04] if i copy the all the "/" directory to a dvd, and after ubuntu will break down, i will copy them on a ext filesystem from (this backup) dvd, the ubuntu will work or not ? (i have to backup all my systemlike that itis possible ? ) [11:04] i checked in 10/04 also [11:05] linxeh: no it doesnt support it [11:05] harjot: apparently inkscape uses potrace to do the tracing, which has commandline and gui tools [11:05] Dr_willis i tried on ubuntu 10.04 also [11:05] harjot: http://potrace.sourceforge.net/ [11:05] ravenkhan: try googlrr.com/linux and your your card and xorg.conf [11:05] hi all [11:06] linxeh: ok [11:06] harjot: potrace is in the repos, along with a potrace-gui package - give those a go :) [11:06] s/googlrr/google [11:06] linxeh: any idea on this? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-337820.html [11:06] messi92: no; it will not work all permissions and special atributes would be wrong [11:06] harjot: yeah I read that - there is no -export-svg option [11:06] messi92: you have to use tar or cpio or some partition clonning software === voRieLLo is now known as voRia [11:07] u saying to check me google.com? [11:07] linxeh: can i use theGdkPixbuf thing does that wwork? [11:07] harjot: I think your best bet is to install potrace, and then do somehting like for file in *.png; do potrace --svg $file; done [11:07] always a good idea to check google. [11:07] !pm > ravenkhan [11:07] ravenkhan, please see my private message [11:08] harjot: thats just used for reading a raster image into memory; inkscape then calls potrace to trace the image into a scaleable file, and then exports it to svg or eps or whatever [11:08] linxeh: ok i will try thanks [11:08] needs help on conflicting packages - not installing flashplugin-installer [11:08] Dr_willis u asked me check forums?

[11:34] And there is problem while installing drivers for it. [11:34] So I tried upgrade m [11:34] So I tried upgrade Ubuntu to 9.10 [11:34] harjot: bottom line, it doesnt look particularly simple. you would be able to do it with imagemagick convert to do the quantising for you, then you could probably extract the color information from the .ppm file (it's just text basically) and then use convert again with that colour information as a mask, generate a bunch of svgs, and use some tool to combine the individual svgs I guess [11:35] anbody?

[11:54] guys I am currently operating ubuntu on a Gateway M-275 tablet pc with one gig of ram and an integrated 64 MB GPU, other than some sound issues I have to admit this little tablet pc really hums away in linux [11:54] hello all, can you tell me what can be a good open source project for a university?? [11:54] ouyes: google for bash tutorial and examples... [11:54] ouyes: google for 'bash tutorials' or 'bash training' or check the 100000+ other sites mentioned at delicious.com under the bash tags :) [11:54] belus, glad to hear it [11:55] muzhganm: the linux kernel is a great open source project for universities [11:55] muzhganm, can you be a bit more specific? what are you looking for? [11:55] andra, Thanks andra, hmm I got to learn a lot...:D [11:55] andra good to hear, you might want to check out xcfe as a window manager instead of gnome, to make it more lightweight [11:55] in networking field , but open source [11:56] ( or look at xubuntu, if you plan a reinstall) [11:56] being a tablet p.c. with a stylus based input system, I was very pleased to witness for myself just ho"tablet" functionality has come in linux. But does anyone know of any tablet "add-on" features I might be able to implement? [11:56] morrowyn, thats precisely what I was hoping for [11:56] polter, ./libflashplayer.so [11:56] Segmentation fault [11:56] Dr_Willis, yes google( banned in my place) thanks [11:56] hmmm, i always had problem with my wacom and linux [11:56] polter, thx anyway [11:56] polter, in networking area [11:56] but that was like at least 5 years ago [11:56] micka, you need to replace your old flashplayer with the new one [11:57] morrowyn, and would I still be able to run pretty much all of the same programs which I can run now? I am assuming the lighter weight interface would allcate more system resources to the more important system process etc... [11:57] micka: .so is liek a .lib file in windows. you dont run it [11:57] muzhganm, networking.. hmm, nagios? [11:57] micka: is flash working now? if so - i would leave it a lone. [11:57] Dr_Willis, i see thx [11:57] yeah, xfce is just a window manager, see it as a shell hosting all your applications when it comes to gui stuff [11:57] polter, a bit advanced than nagios [11:57] I get a sneaking feeling that my lack of understanding of the linux system is causeing me to waste alot of system resources on things which I really do not need, but that's all part of re learning I suppose [11:58] it has been already done by someone else [11:58] micka, adobe hasn't made it easy for us to get 64bit flash yet so something like http://www.ubuntugeek.com/adobe-flash-player-10-for-64-bit-linux-released-and-ubuntu-installation-instructions.html would probably do the trick [11:58] can anybody help me with installing RIVA TNT2 drivers? [11:58] so photoshop, firefox will still run, they just get a different title bar [11:58] Dr_Willis, ys it's working and i will listen you ;) [11:58] Hey guys need help with my sound.. suddenly all the application sound is very very low!

[12:03] ravenkhan: don't bother, just use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [12:03] daiver, yes they are, in your xorg.conf you need to specify that, nv is the std default one, the nvidia is the binary from nvidia themself [12:03] andra where?

Probably depends on the application you're running [12:12] djbeenie, the VB Box from the web site is pretty good [12:12] becasue that one will tell him why the installation failed, prolly a compile error due to missing kernel-headers and what not [12:12] morrowyn, yeah that was always my problem [12:13] :) === kilari_ is now known as kilari [12:14] i have a problem tomorrow for X reasons, I have to upload 150 or 200 photos to facebook and picassa, there is any possibility to automated that work?

[12:28] polter: you recommended him to delete the files, that's being an ass. [12:28] ive installed a hardware driver for my graphic card, which ubuntu detects [12:28] whoa, sorry [12:28] I completely just read it wrong [12:28] are u doing sw raid or hardware? [12:28] but when I try to activate the driver it either hangs or gives me an error message [12:28] erUSUL, that didn't work [12:28] aprilhare: make a test with a copy of some files so you are sure it does the right thing [12:29] i did sudo fdisk -l [12:29] aprilhare, really sorry, I misread [12:29] didn't check the bios yet [12:29] eryn_1983, that's what i tried [12:29] polter, np [12:29] but normally they should be there [12:29] I'll have to go stand in a corner in shame now :) [12:29] erUSUL even [12:29] kristof78: if the drives aren't seen by the OS then it's nothing to do with any 2tb limit or gtp, sounds more like a controller issue. [12:29] Sorry, the Jockey backend crashed. Please file a bug at [12:29] I've read that you can break the 2 TB limit by using GTP UID [12:29] aprilhare: it worked here [12:30] hang on fixed [12:30] Im getting this error when i try to activate my graphic card hardware driver [12:30] any ideas? [12:30] my test files were slightly different named :) [12:30] heh [12:30] thanks [12:30] #ubuntu-br [12:30] check ur bios and make sure they are there first, is this hardware raid or software?

TimeWarner wont help me on a problem if I am using Ubuntu) [13:32] lalalol: it should appear on your desktop [13:32] once you put it in [13:33] @jibi but it does it only when you have made the "file associations" so that WinWord or Openoffice will open DOC-files. [13:33] syanide, it doesnt [13:33] ok ok i will check that:) Thank you [13:33] I think i've got it. thanks for your help crypt/everyone [13:34] syanide, any other thoughts?

[13:37] nope I just did it [13:37] it just checks if its capable of burning [13:38] @jibi I even do not know the exact German place to change it in German it is called something like System control. I do not kno tha name in a US Windows. [13:38] syanide, i got some info [13:38] what now?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:13] haha [15:13] haha? [15:14] hi guys, i just deleted one of my windows partitions (vista) and still have w7 installed but my grub seems to have broken; "Error 11: Unrecognized device string [15:14] when trying to pick apon grub startup [15:15] Hello. Who uses rubyripper on ubuntu 10.04? [15:15] so there is only adobe flashplayer for firefox? [15:15] Quartz: Please /join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [15:16] dima-linux: what do you want to do? [15:17] i want to run flash on firefox [15:18] !flash [15:18] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:18] dima-linux: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [15:18] but some flash applications don't run correctly with last adobe macromedia player [15:18] !Gnash [15:18] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [15:19] Quick question: GNOME bugzilla - anyone know how to reopen a Resolved Incomplete bug? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592964 [15:19] thanks, i'll try gnash [15:19] I'm guessing a dont have enough access for this, but the bloke mentioned reopening it when he closed it [15:20] This is my first time using BugZilla :/ === richard is now known as Guest57245 [15:22] OmegaPhil1, the original poster didn't reply with logs, so i suggest if this bug is bothering you too, open a new bugreport, and mention this one [15:23] I have added my comments + file at the bottom [15:23] With RT at least that would have reopened it.. [15:23] please help me SIS graphics driver [15:23] does anyone here use SQLite? If so, how does one create a user and return columns or rows of data? [15:23] Oer: OK, I'll wait a few days to see if anything happens then open a dupe [15:24] hey [15:24] got a problem [15:24] randomusr: i've used it whith python. I didn't need to create users [15:24] OmegaPhil1, ok good idea [15:24] i just realised its been five years since developers of firestarter promised to include making UDP policies via the gui... still nothing yet. [15:25] when i try to log in to my account, the computer crashes. (I think it's how i configured gnome on that account, because when i log into root it works fine) [15:25] it's probably something with how i got the panels [15:25] Niteshade: You...shouldn't be loggign into root [15:25] !root [15:25] 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 [15:25] i'm not in root now [15:25] !resetpanels [15:25] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:26] yoyoned, is it a self contained Database similar to the MSDE? [15:26] well i figured out how to make a root password [15:26] all i did was sudo bash [15:26] then passwd [15:26] !enter [15:26] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:26] it's a fairly simple hack [15:26] Niteshade, also : just because you can install an OS with the admin password as "" doesn't mean you should. [15:26] Niteshade, are you trying to enable the root user? [15:27] already did, but now i can't get rid of sudo. [15:27] I mean, if i can sudo to root, then anybody that can get inside can too [15:27] * airtonix facepalms [15:27] so, they only have to get my password to root my laptop [15:28] Niteshade: Running as root is a bad idea from the start. This is why ubuntu does not opt the user to set the root password in the first place [15:28] Niteshade, not exactly, but have fun with that [15:28] hey please help me out [15:28] anyways, i still need to be able to reconfigure my user account from another account so i can run my account [15:29] !help [15:29] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:29] but i don't know how to do that without being in my account [15:29] Hello... I was wondering what package should I install in order to be able to see manuals of library functions. For example "man realloc"? [15:29] Niteshade, do what? [15:29] howdy folks [15:29] listen... [15:29] Niteshade: sudo -u gconf-editor ?? [15:29] BluesKaj, greetings loyal minion. [15:29] can I ask a wine sorta question? Why is /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/sr0? [15:30] I think I hosed up some dosdevices links [15:30] oh boy [15:30] hi airtonix [15:30] i configured gnome to have tabs where it apparently doesen't like them so it locks up when i log in (a tab over top of a tab, one set to autohide) [15:30] stomper, i've seen this before, i think maybe some win related app links it because some quirky windows apps try to look for cdrom there [15:30] stomper: because cdrom sounds more logical than sr0? :) [15:30] i have to ctrl-alt-f1, then log in, and then go "shutdown now" and try again [15:30] does ubuntu automatically find drivers for your video card and etc? [15:31] heh, maybe Zider! [15:31] it did [15:31] got fglrx working fine [15:31] stomper, wine related* >> what wine related apps do you have installed ? [15:31] Oh, hey. Where am I supposed to log my programs messages? Just make a folder in /var/log/ [15:31] look, if it was something deeper then this account i'm chatting from wouldn't work either [15:31] enthdegree, generally, yes. [15:31] stomper: and it's not wine that does that, it's the system [15:31] airtonix: trying to get a win game to run under wine, and needs to see cdrom. so, checked dosdevices and noted links there [15:32] even made an iso of the cd and mounted it as cdrom in winecfg.... no dice. [15:32] stomper, ah right, did you use winecfg and click autodetect ? === fipu_ is now known as fipu [15:32] so, how do i move and delete panels and icons in another account when not in that account? [15:32] stomper: that most likely wont work, you need a no-cd crack for the game to run properly [15:33] hi [15:33] stomper, from my experience windows apps run through the wine translator can only see unix devices if wine creates win mappings. [15:33] stomper: what game is that anyway? [15:33] airtonix: yep.. but I think in my attempt at fixing it I messed up the links.. so I was trying to figure out to make sure d: was linked to the device and d:: to the mnt point. [15:33] !resetpanels | Niteshade [15:33] Niteshade: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:33] thanks! [15:33] Rollcage stage 2!!! (only the most awesome racing game EVER!) ...... IMHO of course [15:34] stomper, i assume you've already scoured the wine hq page for the game ? [15:34] the thing is, it installed off the cdrom [15:34] and launches and works except I cant play the single player, says I need cd [15:34] stomper, game setup.exe != game.exe [15:34] yeah, tell me about it! [15:34] stomper, is there a config file in the game dirs that defines where its looking for the CD? [15:34] hello Nvidia saysr stoped working in some wierd way. that i need restart x server but i dont now how... the drive [15:35] hmmm.... cd cracks make me nervous (tojans all day long) [15:35] stomper, i recommend reading the winehq page for the game... someone else surely has come across the problem by now [15:35] err trojans [15:35] yeah I checked wine hq and still have some things I can try. [15:35] hm, somehow gnash is just trash, nothing works [15:35] dima-linux: haha [15:35] good ides xypher I'll check [15:35] even youtube doesn't work [15:35] dima-linux: yep [15:36] idea I meant [15:36] so better i stay with adobe player than nothing :) [15:36] * airtonix laments that firestarter still does not allow for UDP policies. [15:36] dima-linux: haha its still in beta [15:37] so, do you have to be logged in to that account to reset panels? [15:37] not alfa? [15:37] what is the one addon to nautilus that has the bar so you can just type in where you want to go [15:37] i read, that's still alfa [15:37] i know that normal nautilus doesn't have that [15:37] or will it do that everywhere? [15:37] genoclde, are you using Lucid? [15:38] yea [15:38] genoclde, press the / key [15:38] Niteshade: you'll need to be that user, or try sudo -u thatuser command [15:38] no i mean, what is it called? [15:38] how can i pm a user in this window?

[15:52] haavaros, I haven't tried Win7 yet (I don't pay for stuff I don't need... probably get Win7 when I get a new computer) but Ubuntu latest is dead easy even for me.

[18:13] IdleOne: That command can be used to stresstest cpu cores... [18:13] IdleOne: Well, "burn" and "cpu" don't sound like two words that mix [18:13] so i would assume so [18:13] nacman_: well you could run strings on /dev/sda1 [18:13] my volume control applet is gone from the menu and my bar, what is the command to start it via console [18:13] frawfraw: no - you're generally supposed to expect that the person who set up the SONAME did their job [18:13] un214: ? [18:14] macamn_ the file is gone after being removed from the trash, but if it was human readable strings will get it back as the blocks themselves weren't actually erased [18:14] when making a modification to a library it's generally not hard to predict whether it would cause a break in binary compatibility (at least in C) [18:14] Random832: if I know the knew package and the old package, is there an easy way to test the two for binary compatibility? [18:14] un214: have you done this before ? [18:15] un214: just wondering [18:15] macman_ yes, on a 20mb disk [18:15] heh [18:15] frawfraw: if you have the source code you could examine all the diffs [18:15] Random832: yeek... that would be hard to script... [18:15] failing that, examine diffs of all the headers [18:16] Is there an comparison matrix for releases? ie - desktop vs server vs jeOS etc... ? [18:16] well the point is it's a call that has to be made by a human [18:16] diffs of the headers should do it [18:16] un214: strings /dev/sda6 |grep Filename ? [18:16] un214: unless there's linker scripts involved [18:16] macman_ that won't work you have to pipe it through less and find your file by its contents [18:16] it may not all be in one place on the disk either [18:17] Random832: but essentially, if I have a program that links against the old package, then I should theoretically notice an abi break if the link to the new package fails? [18:17] un214: what problem is macman_ trying to solve? [18:17] strings /dev/sda5 |less |grep The_Back- [18:17] can brasero burn the 10.04 iso? [18:17] random832: he deleted a file and wants it back [18:17] macman_: there is also etx3grep out there that my be able to help. [18:17] lalalol: yes, Please /join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [18:17] i deleted a movie and need the source back [18:17] macman_: ext3grep, sorry [18:17] trevor: kmix i assume you use kde [18:18] frawfraw: that depends on what kind of break it is - a link fail will only happen if they've removed symbols - not if they've changed the semantics of undocumented functions used from macros, or if they've changed the arguments of some function [18:18] un214: ok - first step is of course to STOP USING the filesystem it was on [18:18] greezmunkey: and you have tried this right ? [18:18] i would assume that you might be able to use forensics programs to regain trace amounts of the file from it's magnetic residue... [18:18] wise_crypt, i use gnome, it is the panel applet, it has disappeared from the panel and the add to panel menu [18:19] macman_: did you stop using the filesystem? [18:19] Random832: for what Im doing, im more interested in whether or not my program will fail to load when theres an abi break... not if someone has changed the semantic meaning of an API [18:19] thx IdleOne [18:19] Random832: does that make it easier? [18:19] it will fail to load only if a symbol was removed [18:19] there is an e2undel program - or debugfs - it helps to know the exact filename (or the directory the file was in) [18:20] knowing the inode number is even better [18:20] frawfraw: what are you doing exactly? [18:20] Random832: what do you mean stop using filesystem [18:20] well, unless you emptied out your recycle bin (by default, on your lower panel) you might be able to just retrieve it from there [18:20] and the point is, if they've changed the args a function takes, then it'll in all likelyhood crash the first time you call the function [18:20] macman_: as in unmount it or mount it as readonly [18:20] no [18:20] reboot from the livecd if you have to [18:20] i would have to reboot with a live disc Random832 [18:21] yea [18:21] ok i will brb [18:21] then do that - every second anything can write to the filesystem is another chance your deleted file may be overwritten [18:21] I booted the first time with my nextwork cable installed and I get a connection. I then booted without it and then with it again and ubuntu has lost eth0 [18:21] eh, what's the problem anyway? [18:21] any ideas? [18:22] Random832: Im a project manager in a big project... and our integrators have a big problem with knowing what is going on in this system... so I was trying to work on a "cheat sheet" that more or less emulates "apt-cache dotty" but then highlights links where there are ABI breakages [18:22] macman_: No, I only delete files I have no use for. Is your HDD formatted ext3 or ext4? [18:22] !restore-panel [18:23] ccherrett: is it still in this state? [18:23] sorry, what's an abi breakage? [18:23] frawfraw: well, you could simply look at all symbols exported from the library, and see if there were any in the old version missing from the new version [18:24] that wouldn't tell you if they've changed the arguments a function takes, or changed between a function and a variable, or changed the type of a variable [18:24] Random832: that sounds pretty easy... how can I look at the symbols? === k[a]tie is now known as katie211 === katie211 is now known as katie11 [18:24] frawfraw: objdump -T [18:25] Random832: then if I diff the two shared objects, there should be no differences? [18:25] trevor: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tip-howto-recover-gnome-panel.html [18:25] no, because the printout includes things that are okay to have changes too [18:25] greezmunkey: yes [18:25] you want ot make sure all names from the old version are present in the new version [18:26] ccherrett: in a terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:26] greezmunkey: no such device when trying ifup etho [18:26] greezmunkey: I did that [18:26] Random832: sounds like scripting would be pretty difficult that way :/ [18:26] and if any of the _sizes_ are different then that's somewhere you may want to look further by examining the source [18:26] ccherrett: ok, are you using network manager? [18:26] greezmunkey: no [18:26] greezmunkey: well possibly [18:27] greezmunkey: I am a gentoo guy lost in gui land right now :) [18:27] ccherrett: heh, what does ifconfig show you, no eth0 there? [18:27] greezmunkey: it is not there [18:28] greezmunkey: it does not show with ifconfig -a [18:28] ccherrett: wow. All you did was disconnect then reconnect an ethernet cable? [18:28] greezmunkey: yeah [18:28] bad driver? [18:28] greezmunkey: well used the laptop without the connection [18:28] or maybe you loosened the card [18:30] ccherrett: you could try: sudo modprobe forcedeth0 - see what happens [18:31] ccherrett: sounds like the kernel module may have unloaded [18:31] it's probably forcedeth [18:31] nsadmin: I think that is correct, see that ccherrett ? [18:31] yeah just rebooting [18:32] rebooting?? [18:32] nsadmin: yeah that is what I do when I can't see anything but gui :) [18:32] nsadmin: I havent used eth0 on the box for a long time, was using wireless. I have a wireless/eth converter in my garage lab now. [18:32] so you moved your mouse, and it said "for your OS to understand this change you must reboot" [18:33] nsadmin: yeah crazy thing [18:35] lo [18:35] when is ubuntu coming out [18:35] it's out now! [18:35] yes [18:35] it has been for many years [18:35] heh [18:35] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will be out in 5 days [18:35] there's lotsa ubuntu cds and everything! [18:36] so what nsadmin?

[18:55] znh: ask [18:55] JabberWalkie: yes [18:55] if the kernel can [18:55] nsadmin: oh yeah, I guess :) [18:56] well I'd like to have a launcher at the favorites location which starts firefox with a specified URL.. how would one do that? [18:56] filesystems and devices are generally supported by the kernel... [18:56] ext3 is still the default though? [18:56] default where?

[19:13] guntbert, i'm not touching the linux system, im just cahngeing files i downloaded on my user to root owned. [19:14] str0ng, -r "recursive" [19:14] str0ng, man chmod [19:14] random_: ok ok :-) but there remains a question: how did that happen in the first place ? :) [19:15] kop, hmmm.. it's "-R" (capital) [19:15] <--- happens :) [19:15] is there anyone that could help me with DSL on a IBM TP T30 [19:15] guntbert, not to sure what your refering to.

[19:16] hi, ive just installed ubuntu 8.10, and im have a strange issue with network manager telling me networking is disabled [19:17] it cant be disabled as im online now [19:17] Tarantulafudge: you identified? [19:17] guntbert, other way around, i dl'ed files, and switching them to root owned :P it's a server.

[19:17] IdleOne, originally no, but I am now and it doesn't seem to make a difference [19:17] Tarantulafudge: any messages? [19:18] IdleOne, nope doesn't even say if I'm banned for some reason [19:18] though I'm just using the applet [19:18] random_: ah - yes that makes much more sense - so I won't keep you further :-)) [19:18] Tarantulafudge: join #ubuntu-ops to see if we can figure it out [19:19] hi all, I am running ubuntu on a machine with a wifi device, but the network manager is neither picking up wireless networks nor connecting to the ones I have added manually, is there something nice in ubuntu that picks up wifi networks and lets you connect fast? [19:20] gebUK: has the device worked at all under ubuntu? [19:20] look for wireless-tools in synaptic gebUK [19:20] gebUK: ever had this problem before on your ubuntu on this mahcine? [19:20] Very weird xserver issue: when I move to a screen left of the "main screen" (so, screen 0, where the login box appears), my mouse starts acting very weird. [19:21] @Byan_ I have no idea, when i go to "hardware drivers" it does not show any problem [19:21] so i guess it is picking up the device correctly [19:21] nsadmin, I was looking at wicd [19:22] but this conflicts with the standard network manager [19:22] gebUK: lol, that doesn't really mean anything.. [19:22] gebUK: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [19:23] what card do you have? [19:23] gebUK: have you ever successfully used this wireless device under this install of ubuntu on this machine? [19:23] is there a way to stop and restart network manager? [19:23] any ideas how i can find the ip of a wireless network card? [19:23] what a great channel-1514 for now- [19:23] i type ifconfig, but can't decipher which IP it is [19:23] h all [19:23] imanc: iwconfig [19:23] geekphreak you rock! thanks! === nick9892 is now known as StuBb0rn [19:24] neodemi: in the terminal, "killall nm-applet" and then restart it by using the command "nm-applet" probably via alt+f2 [19:24] M4rotku: err.. shouldn't he just use init.d [19:25] I think there is a NetworkManager script there [19:25] imanc: are you trying to get internal or external ip ? [19:25] Byan_ that does sound better, i was just aiming for the manager itself. that's how i start the network manager. [19:25] just internal - i am trying to move some mysql databases from osx to ubuntu [19:25] in actual fact, I need to get the IPs for osx - but it doesn't have iwconfig [19:26] ifconfig should list the IP.. [19:26] imanc: you can use something like phpmyadmin, makes job easier [19:26] Hey guys, does current ubuntu still install on the non intel macs? [19:26] you could have static internal IPs and a dns running somewhere in the internal net [19:27] wiesshund3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPC [19:27] M4rotku, that haaas got the icon back for it [19:27] nsadmin - yeh that could be useful. My laptops do move about a bit tho [19:27] thankyou neodemi [19:28] any idea why it doesnt show any network connections though? i know im connected by the wireless on this machine [19:28] at what time is lucid being released tomorrow? [19:28] Guest20780: its the 29th.. and at no set time. [19:28] same time usual [19:29] Dr_Willis: howdy [19:29] * Guest20780 cant wait for lucid !!! [19:29] howdy oer [19:29] Guest20780: then get the RC and instgall it now if you want. [19:29] hi geekphreak [19:29] moo geekphreak [19:29] avoid the rush and the bandwidth competition... upgrade before the release [19:29] in so doing you'll be nice to the mirrors [19:29] well moo back too you bud Dr_Willis :) [19:30] * geekphreak is on lucid and loving it :d [19:30] neodemi: thats weird,.. no idea, does it list the wireless interface? you could try ifconfig -a [19:30] hmm my notebook doesnt show connection info on wireless in nm-applet too [19:31] Byan_, ifconfig shows the wireless as wlan0 [19:31] smt: can you try something for me? [19:31] I am planning to run ubuntu on a touch screen laptop - any chance of the availability of the necessary drivers? (HP TouchSmart tm2) [19:31] smt: when you right click network-manager applet at top , can you choose connection information? [19:31] dont have my nb here, geek [19:32] nb? [19:32] noteboo [19:32] k [19:32] oh ok [19:32] any idea if lucid will support touch interface?

[19:33] Guest20780 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [19:33] smt hope you did not install something like wicd? [19:33] no [19:33] ok good [19:34] it worked out of the box, but never showed up in nm-applet, but that doesnt matter to me [19:34] hey pici :) [19:34] Guest20780: hi [19:34] er geekphreak hi :) [19:34] hi pici === ganja_ is now known as ganja [19:35] guys, why would i get this error "/hdls# ./hldsupdatetool.bin [19:35] bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory"? wrong shell?

[21:00] wise_crypt: for atheros System>Admin>Hardware drivers should work [21:00] wise_crypt: for broadcom you have to « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » why connected to internet via wired [21:00] yoyoned: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Kgry0XPk [21:00] s/why/while/ [21:00] erUSUL u have a minute? [21:00] why does my connection always get lost when I download torrents? [21:00] PeterDrop: yes [21:01] erUSUL txs, remember yesterday .. my problem sound .. [21:01] I'm trying to download the RC and am constantly losing my network connection if I don't cap the speed [21:01] gebUK: are you reading what erUSUL stated? [21:01] An_Ony_Moose: if it's because it's making everything else slow, maybe try putting a download speed limit on the torrent [21:01] PeterDrop: yes [21:02] erUSUL can u helpme now, i installed the 10.4 version, and the card is detected now [21:02] racecar56, it's not making anything else slow. It just drops the connection after ~15 seconds when I'm not limiting the speed. [21:02] erUSUL , all seem to be good i think ... but no sound :( [21:02] !alsa > PeterDrop [21:02] PeterDrop, please see my private message [21:02] PeterDrop: you checked with alsamixer that no channel is muted ? [21:03] all the chanels are in 00 and at top ( red squares) [21:03] mozir: is abc.exe a C sourcecode? [21:04] it drops the connection after some time at any speed higher than 50kbps [21:04] yoyoned: It is the output file, sorry, biased by 10 years of Windows - That's why I still write the exe for binary files [21:04] How do you set the cwd in the terminal again? [21:04] mozir, cd [21:04] mozir: I missread you paste [21:05] PeterDrop: ant the volume control (right click) is that muted ? [21:05] mozir: please pastebin the output of ls -la /home/myacc/Desktop [21:05] are there someone using longene? [21:05] An_Ony_Moose: Strange, I got confused by the terminal writing 'myacc@myacc-desktop$', thought the CWD already was /Desktop [21:05] erUSUL is not muted [21:06] PeterDrop: and none of your apps work ? [21:06] mozir, myacc-desktop would be the machine name [21:06] PeterDrop: check your speaker jack see it well connected [21:06] erUSUL no sound at all [21:06] An_Ony_Moose: Ah, okay. [21:07] PeterDrop: do you have mplayer installed ? [21:07] looking for app to compress an .ogg video? [21:07] erUSUL i dont know [21:07] i hae another reproductor [21:08] install mplayer [21:09] Okay, I got gcc working now. The handling of the current working directory in the terminal confuses me, though [21:10] mozir: good - but still it worries me that you seem to "need sudo for everything" - is that so or was it exaggerated a bit? [21:10] how to i find an windows alternative program for Ubuntu'?>? [21:10] !equivalents [21:10] i mean a windows app... but the alternative to it so i can use it on Ubuntu [21:10] A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant - Try also joining #ubuntu-bots and asking BestBot [21:10] hi [21:11] guntbert: I'm new and got confused by something in the terminal making me think the cwd is /Desktop [21:11] guntbert: But gcc tried to run in /home, which I don't have the rights for [21:11] gwibber doesnt show any tweets even when properly configured on Lucid beta 2 though I just updated all packages yesterday so I guess I have RC already installed, anybody has had the same problem? [21:11] erUSUL ok mplayer is installed [21:11] guntbert: So I just tried sudo and it logically worked [21:11] PeterDrop: now try « mplayer -ao pulse someaudiofile » [21:11] visor: Lucid discussion takes placein #ubuntu+1 [21:12] h00k: sorry didnt read the topic, thanks [21:12] what was the command to list harddrives and their size? [21:12] JayX: http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com and get the programs from, the Software Centre or Synaptic or using sudo apt-get command ideally. so yeah I mean the Ubuntu repo's [21:12] erUSUL, how do i get pidign to install from terminal on ubuntu 9,.10? [21:12] c3l: df -h [21:12] JayX: sudo aptitude install pidgin [21:13] JayX: most programs you will want to use for Destop Linux distros will be in the Ubuntu repo's, and if not install from offical website/source [21:13] mozir: oh, ok - yes thats the "solution" - but please keep in mind that it is mainly the reduced rights for a normal user, that makes linux less prone to viruses and such things [21:13] h00k, hm ty [21:13] its works! [21:13] Hey all. I've got Ubuntu 10.04 running on my Power Mac MDD G4, and i can't get both outputs on my nvidia GForce4 Ti AGP graphics card to work. Is there any way to set it up so i can use both my displays? [21:13] Okay: I have compiled my hello world (hw) C++ program, now located in '/home/myacc/Desktop/'. 'pwd' in the terminal outputs '/home/myacc/Desktop/'. I enter 'hw'. Output: 'hw: command not found'. I enter '/home/myacc/Desktop/hw'. Output: My programming showing 'Hello World! [21:13] ' [21:14] mozir: so needing sudo should always be sort of an alarm signal: "possible danger ahead" [21:14] guntbert: I know, and it indeed was a bit exaggerated [21:14] erUSUL, i tried "sudo apt-get install pidgin" and i get a responce from terminalk >> "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." [21:14] But why do I still need the absolute path for running my binary in the terminal, even if my CWD already is there? [21:14] erUSUL its work, i dont know why .. but i cant hear from the "front pc" ( sry about my poor english) [21:15] JayX: so do as instructed ... « sudo dpkg --configure -a » [21:15] erUSUL i need to configure something else? [21:15] hey guys, i think i found a facebook exploit [21:15] PeterDrop: ya te dije ayer que si prefieres español vayas a #ubuntu-es [21:15] mozir: next security thing: normally the "current directory" is not in the search path for executable programs so you would type ./hw in the directory [21:16] Buhmillion: This really isn't the place for that. [21:16] PeterDrop: now that we know that pulse works. just configure all your apps to use pulse and not alsa [21:16] !es | PeterDrop [21:16] PeterDrop: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:16] good, cuz i was about to troll [21:16] erUSUL ok ok, i dont like es, just a smartass people [21:16] bout oh well [21:16] mozir: it needs a path somehow, unless it's in one of the locations given in $PATH (run `echo $PATH` to see these) [21:16] PeterDrop: :/ [21:16] erUSUl sry its true [21:16] PeterDrop: you are confusing us with #debian-es [21:16] erUSUL maybe [21:17] erUSUL anyway very txs for ur help erUSUL [21:17] PeterDrop: no problem [21:17] erUSUL abot the front panel .. [21:18] Next thing: I'd just like to add /home/myacc/Desktop to the search path - for simplicity - can I accomplish that via the terminal? [21:18] erUSUL, how can i see what i installed today on my system.. i messsed up my Ubuntu.. is there a "restore" feature? [21:18] Samba is very slow, any other alternative to share with a Windows machine? [21:18] ola [21:18] no restore feature sorry; you can see an historic of installed packages in synaptic [21:18] JayX: ^ [21:19] JayX: in file>historic/log [21:21] erUSUL, i tried the command , sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter , for my broadcom device but it did not make a difference ... what am I supposed to do after installing this [21:21] gebUK: either reboot or « sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 » [21:21] well i have a question, how do i setup a file server on ubuntu server edition? what do i use, i want to use authentication, something like samba, or maybe a web interface. any help? [21:21] how do i get to "file>historic/log" if i may ask?// i dont see it in /root [21:22] hey guys [21:22] hi [21:22] JayX: in the synaptic gui. go to the menu File in that menu choose historic [21:22] users on my server have read access to /var/www [21:22] would it be ok to chmod /var/www recursively to 750? [21:22] Hi there, apt-get -u dist-upgrade wants to install a LOT of new packages, is there a way to see from where they are depended? [21:22] lenswipe: i don't see why not [21:22] mozir: edit .profile in your home directory, it contains settings for PATH, you can use the last 3 lines as example [21:22] but i want them to upload and download [21:22] racecar56, wait, whats the default? [21:22] lenswipe: should be fine [21:22] guntbert: Thanks a lot [21:23] racecar56, is the default 775? [21:23] lenswipe: ls -l /var|grep www [21:23] ok [21:23] mozir: have fun with ubuntu :) [21:23] lenswipe: what user is running your web server? [21:23] bodom, www-data [21:23] its apache2 on ubuntu [21:23] lenswipe: so I suppose www-data should have read-access [21:23] bodom, www-data owns the files doesnt he? [21:23] she [21:23] it [21:23] even [21:23] lenswipe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:23] its a she [21:23] hello there [21:24] ok [21:24] nyway [21:24] doesnt www-data own the files? therefore would have read write execute perms? [21:24] lenswipe: so, you can chmod [21:24] Hi [21:24] bodom, ? [21:24] how do I stop X from using HAL? [21:24] I'm using the program Burn to burn my ISO [21:24] Hi, what can I do to be more involved in the community? [21:25] lenswipe: if www-data is the owner, you can chmod 750 [21:25] Should I use 'Copy' or 'Data'? [21:25] ok [21:25] lenswipe: maybe 500 is better [21:25] mewshi: contact your local ubuntu comunity perphaps [21:25] bodom, no, 770 i think [21:25] bodom, its so that i can write to /var/www on the server using netbeans over SFTP [21:25] lenswipe, give root a pssword with "sudo passwd" and then from there edit the files. then, to delete the root password, use "sudo passwd -d" [21:25] Buhmillion, see above [21:26] There's not a local ubuntu community :( [21:26] !noroot | Buhmillion [21:26] Buhmillion: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [21:26] Buhmillion: nice passwd trick (passwd -d), i should read manpages more ;) [21:26] For my ISO, do I use 'Data' or 'Copy'? [21:26] *ISO burn [21:26] Inde147: data sounds better, what program is this [21:26] it sets a hash that no string can match, so no passwd [21:27] Buhmillion: sudo -i is much cleaner and easier [21:27] racecar56: It is 'Burn' [21:27] what should php scripts be chmodded to? [21:27] 644 is it? [21:27] guntbert, yes, i imagine thats true [21:27] lenswipe: i think that's normal [21:27] racecar56: Thanks. I'll try it [21:27] cool [21:27] racecar56: as data [21:27] Inde147: yw [21:27] executable and readable by others, and you're fine [21:28] racecar56: if it doesnt work, I'll switch it up :) [21:28] Buhmillion: :-) so please don't recommend setting a root password in the future [21:28] noted. [21:28] bodom, if i chmod to 755 i get permission denied [21:29] lenswipe: using wich user? [21:29] nvm [21:29] i just chowned it all to www-data [21:29] hello all [21:30] hi [21:30] lenswipe: i like server configs where /var/www is owned by a www group so anyone who is in it can modify it's content [21:30] I'm trying to get more that 8 /dev/loop devices, i'm running ubuntu 9.10 which has dm-mapper already built into the kernel instead of loaded with modprobe [21:30] erUSUL, thank you very much for your suggestion [21:30] i did a reboot and now i can see the wifi devices on wicd [21:31] i ll try to connect now [21:31] gebUK: no problem [21:31] I've come accross a fix for this by adding /etc/modprobe.d/local and in there adding options loop max_loop=255 but i'm not loading the module with modprobe so I'm wondering how to change it [21:31] hey, I'm looking for timer that can be used to do the (10+2)*5 procrastination hack.. is there anything? [21:31] why does everyone advise to use Wicd instead of the normal network manager??? [21:31] http://www.freeps3.tv/?i=47470 hi check this out [21:31] MamboKing: boot option [21:32] what else can I do to contribute? [21:32] report bugs, translate if possible [21:33] erUSUL: thanks! googleing it right now [21:33] how do you guys backup your servers? plain old tar? amanda? any other software? [21:33] mmr: rsync [21:33] !boot | MamboKing [21:33] MamboKing: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [21:33] tar, rsync [21:33] how come open office's word processor shows some http://mysite.com as a hyperlink and some as just a mispelled word? [21:33] mmr: nothing beats rsync [21:33] MamboKing: is max_loop=number ( 1- 255 ) [21:34] usser: I kind of like rdiff-backup [21:34] !rm -rf | mozir [21:34] erUSUL: thanks I found an article describing exactly what I need! [21:34] you rsync the whole fs? [21:34] mmr, bacula [21:34] Is someone here capable of grep fu? [21:34] yeah /dev/loop has a hard coded max of 1-255 [21:35] Samba is very slow, any other alternative to share with a Windows machine? [21:35] nfs? [21:35] mozir: probably, just ask [21:35] !ask | mozir [21:35] mozir: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:35] smik: aoe(ata over ethernet) www.winaoe.org [21:35] Buhmillion: why should i use bacula instead of rsync? [21:35] just create a blank dd image and then use vblade to serve it up [21:35] MamboKing: must be via Wi-fi. Wireless [21:35] exigraff: Just wanted to know [21:35] no real reason, use which ever [21:35] it will appear as a local drive [21:36] be careful in rsync because sometimes it can automatically delete what's on the destination that isn't on the source [21:36] and function as one, the throughput will depend on your bandwidth [21:36] that's happened to me [21:37] why does everyone advise WICD??? [21:37] hm, rsync seems more like something i would use for replicating servers data to achieve fault tolerance, right? === dad_ is now known as Guest59858 [21:39] i used rsync for backups [21:39] What is the Linux/Ubuntu/GCC equivalent of the functions "system" and "exit"? [21:40] mozir: system and exit [21:40] mozir: system and exit :) [21:40] are there a 'de facto' set of scripts that uses rsync for backup or everybody writes some in-house? [21:40] mozir: exit exist in posix/linux; system i dunno what it does [21:40] mmr: grsync [21:40] mmr: rsnapshot and rdiff-backup were already mentioned here [21:40] Then what do I have to include, because: "main.cpp:78: error: ‘exit’ was not declared in this scope" [21:41] erUSUL: thank you!

[21:42] 2600 [21:42] IdleOne, you might know this one, why does everyone advise WICD? [21:42] lalalol: because it's an alternative to nm [21:42] lnostdal: not easilly, and not without effecting sound controls, that's how [21:42] !lucid | maelios [21:42] maelios: 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 [21:43] lalalol: it works for a lot of people. If you dont have problems with nm-manager then don't go fixing what aint broke [21:43] sebsebseb, yeah, the sound controls don't work with pa anyhow; i gotta use alsamixer from the CLI [21:43] Out_Cold, and why is it the best or better than nm? [21:43] sebsebseb, or well, they work .. but most controls are missing [21:43] IdleOne, im already using wicd :D [21:43] lalalol: ok then :) [21:43] hello [21:44] hi [21:44] lalalol: depends on your needs and preferences.. I like it because it's intuative, cli ready and very informative [21:44] IdleOne, but i wonder why it is better than nm or even the best? [21:44] I just reinstalled my graphic card driver, and now my wifi has stoped working [21:44] im confused as hell [21:44] Out_Cold, yeah, i like the info it gives, are there any others that give even more info? [21:44] can someone help me troubleshoot? [21:44] i like my linux in a window inside my windows 7 kk [21:45] maelios: do you have a ubuntu support question? [21:45] maelios: Use a virtual machine [21:45] lnostdal: There are tutorals on the web how to remove pulse audio in Ubuntu. Plus I know of at least one distro, since I also use it, as well as Ubuntu sometimes these days, where can just disable pulse audio in it's control centre, and done, nice and simple. [21:45] lalalol: i'm only familiar with nm and wicd. I'm sure there are others but those 2 stand out the most. [21:45] ok Out_Cold, can i pm you 1 thing? [21:45] i want to submit some of my work [21:45] sure [21:45] !ot | maelios [21:45] maelios: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:46] been at this since 2008 -- tired of it [21:46] maelios: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [21:46] how come open office's word processor shows some http://mysite.com as a hyperlink and some as just a mispelled word?

[21:48] erUSUL: lots of wifi problem today [21:48] Like, start from CDROM? [21:48] IdleOne: thanks was wonderin what the channel name was [21:48] or start from E? [21:48] Or do I go into MDOS [21:48] And go to E [21:49] And type [21:49] lnostdal: well apparantly it's ok to mention other distros in here with good enough reason and it's Mandriva. PM for some more info if you want, since off topic really, However this is in reply to your question [21:49] Format:c [21:49] ? === chick_with_a_bea is now known as ChickWithABeard [21:49] sebsebseb, ok, thanks [21:49] wise_crypt: allways :) sound; screen resolution and wifi. [21:49] lnostdal: on the subject of distros though, I suggest trying a few, and using what works well for you [21:49] Inde147: you should set your computer to boot from cd. then follow the installation instructions.. you should not go into DOS or Windows [21:49] hi [21:49] erUSUL: :) [21:50] Inde147, bios should be set on: boot from cd [21:50] oer: thank you! [21:50] I just install an ubuntu but doesnt boot just go to a shell that says initramfs === root is now known as Purpley [21:50] erUSUL: not to mention grub [21:50] hi all, does anyone here know about EyeFinity support in Linux Catalyst ATI drivers? Why is it required for 3-monitor setups? [21:50] yep [21:51] i tried to setup a simple apache virtual host config. on other distros that worked fine: NameVirtualHost *:80 ... ... [21:51] : i.e., from an article, says, "Once Eyefinity is supported under Linux, it will be possible to drive three displays simultaneously from either of these graphics cards, but for now, only two connectors can be used at a time."...why is this? [21:51] i need to trouble shoot my wifi card [21:51] Hey if im root by default does anyone know how i can run a program with the root privelages? [21:51] !sudo | Purpley [21:51] Purpley: 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) [21:51] i always get an error: VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [21:51] i think the hardware reinstall messed withe rugb [21:51] Purpley: not a good idea [21:51] grub [21:51] Is it possible to make a single installer that does x86 and x86-64 off one boot device without much difficulty? [21:51] h00k im aware of sudo im in su on backtrack and its by default [21:51] micw: j #ubuntu-server [21:51] I need to ask a question but im banned from backtrack because im running xchat as root [21:52] Q_Continuum: http://prshah.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-create-ubuntu-all-in-one-dvd.html [21:52] Purpley: you might want to check backtrack's help and support, it isn't an official derivative. [21:52] wise_crypt, thx [21:52] h00k, Im quite aware of that but the command for what i need should be the same [21:52] Purpley: backtrack is for security professionals [21:52] Purpley: you just exit xchat, change your names to something other than root.. [21:52] Purpley: that is because it is a BAD idea [21:52] micw: no problem [21:52] Purpley: in xchat..

The errorcode from Totem is "Kunde inte öppna platsen; du kanske inte har rättighet att öppna filen." - In english = "Could not open location. You may have insufficent rights to open the file" (sorry for my crappy english :) ) [22:43] seems to show its not a happy bunny [22:43] Daijoubu: We really aren't able to help with Youtube problems, you're probably going to have to contact them [22:43] ibuclaw: uc === kaiestse is now known as skjackeytse [22:43] ?? [22:43] !lucid > limen_ [22:43] limen_, please see my private message === skjackeytse is now known as skjackey_tse [22:43] Daijoubu: though you can run ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 to verify that you're actually encoding properly [22:43] zertu, yes, but you don't strike me as someone who is familiar with chroot and installing a system from ground up using a debootstrap ... so no. === skjackey_tse is now known as firejackey [22:43] ibuclaw: :) thank you [22:43] h00k, i know but after 5 days of trying to make things work spamming here is my only option sorry :) [22:43] yes i can do [22:44] exigraff, i need to edit my clips and thats impossible with command line :( [22:44] zertu, *who is NOT familiar with chroot or debootstrap [22:44] 32 bit vs 64bit?? what do you guys recommend? [22:44] give me just some key for that === firejackey is now known as sjackey_tse [22:44] sure i can to do === sjackey_tse is now known as firejacky [22:44] shashike acording to RAM nad CPU(64bit) [22:44] Daijoubu: not the point. running that will tell you exactly what the file consists of - this is just to verify that the end-product is encoded properly. [22:44] Daijoubu: take a look at OpenShot === firejacky is now known as yukiseaside [22:45] IdleOne OpenShot Video Editor? [22:45] zaxonspox: yes, as for his codec issue that I don't know [22:45] come on [22:45] i have a 64bit processor and 4GB ram.. should i install 64 bit on it??? [22:45] yes [22:45] ibuclaw does the xsessions-errors file reveal anything? [22:45] else you wont be using all of your ram [22:45] http://pastebin.com/kdTe2R08 [22:46] shashike, yes, 64 [22:46] (unless you use PAE or something and suffer the performance hit) [22:46] not shashike [22:46] not necessary you can install both [22:46] IdleOne I'm using OpenShot :( [22:46] but i heard horror stories about 64bit, about flash not working and all that.. will that be fixed in ubuntu 10.04?? [22:46] IdleOne OSVE has ability like MS Paint [22:47] I can't play a DVD (Friends) in Ubuntu (10.04). I've downloaded all possible codecs but nothing helps. The errorcode from Totem is "Kunde inte öppna platsen; du kanske inte har rättighet att öppna filen." - In english = "Could not open location. You may have insufficent rights to open the file" (sorry for my crappy english :) ) [22:47] shashike, yest, it is true, but, do you want to have all 4GB of RAM, or less? [22:47] zaxonspox: then join the project and help make it better [22:48] liminal, nothing too much out of the ordinary worth noting there. What application keeps on crashing ? [22:48] exigraff well cjay554 is telling me that everything works for him and he's using Ubuntu 9.10 and i'm using Lucid RC, is it possible that the libs for Lucid are bad or something? Should i ask in Lucid channel ? [22:48] but i get all 4Gb ram on 32bit too [22:48] IdleOne i was wondering about that, but i said no. I did only a description of program and his ability as a colleg work for HCI [22:48] shashike is not that bad, some issues with flash yes, but in general it works pretty well. [22:49] Hmm, I really messed up my boot and dont really know where to go from here. Using grub2 was working fine until I uninstalled splashy and now it's pulling errors all the time saying "return: 24: Illegal number:". Could the lack of splashy be causing this? [22:49] limen_: How are you trying to open the DVD in totem? [22:49] zertu, would probably take me more than an hour to walk through procedure, but I figured it out with this as a guidance https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html [22:49] Daijoubu: if you like. have you tried #openshot? [22:49] have u guys used ubuntu 10.04 yet?? [22:49] not yet [22:49] exigraff, yep waiting for 5h now and no one sayd anything [22:49] ibuclaw all of them [22:49] shashike: Please /join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [22:49] zertu, there are a few extra things you may need to do - and a few steps you will need to do differently. [22:50] sometimes the whole OS [22:50] zertu, IMO - it is much simpler just to install from LiveCD [22:50] liminal, is this predicable, or random crashes? [22:50] i can't access to my server physically [22:50] liminal, can you name one that crashes the most frequent? [22:50] firefox [22:50] that's why i say that one i can't do [22:50] chrome [22:51] xchat [22:51] ubuntu software server [22:51] center [22:51] liminal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:51] Jordan_U, how many ways are there ? Ive tried "open" and selected the .vob-file. Ive tried "play disc" [22:52] how do i update to ubuntu 9.10 [22:52] liminal, ok then can you open a terminal then ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) and type in: firefox [22:52] !upgrade | jahnkeanater [22:52] jahnkeanater: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [22:52] ok thanks [22:52] :) [22:53] Daijoubu: keep waiting, 5hrs isn't long. also see the support options at http://openshotvideo.com/ [22:53] liminal, pressing enter will launch firefox. Then wait for it to crash, and then copy + paste any output in the terminal to a pastebin.

Hard to translate to english but something like: "error during splice of file: in/out-error" [22:57] what am i doing wrong? [22:57] jahnkeanater: what version are you using¿ [22:57] 8.04 [22:57] liminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ; will install flash, codecs, fonts, etc [22:58] jahnkeanater: and to what version do you want to upgrade¿ [22:58] 9.10 [22:58] for lucid you will hace to wait one more week jahnkeanater [22:58] ok [22:58] limen_: Ok, I think you're running into a new form of copy protection I encounterd recently, (or you just have a scratched disk). Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [22:58] then it will show up in the update manager [22:58] when I run "route" in cli I get a 2 line result.. the first is "Destination 192.168.0.0" and shows the mask of 255.255.255.0 w/ flag of "u" .. The second is "Destination = default, gateway 192.168.0.1, Genmask of 0.0.0.0., flags= UG" ... is this normal or should there only be one line with my gateway address?

[23:08] not very high quality [23:08] but its resonable [23:08] limen_: There is currently no Free tool specifically designed to thwart this copy protection. But, and I found no other source on the internet that suggests this and was amazed that it actually worked when I tried it, gnu ddrescue can get past it by using techneques for reading from damaged media. [23:08] liminal: did you restarted firefox¿ [23:08] yupo [23:08] NLAKSHMI, with audio too http://verb3k.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/how-to-do-proper-screencasts-on-linux/ [23:08] nm: check if drivers are aviable in system> administracion> hardware drives [23:09] liminal: using 64 bits OS¿ [23:09] hell no [23:09] 32 bit causes me problem enough [23:09] "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [23:10] how do i get invited to #hardware?

[23:12] when I go to a site that needs it, it asks me to install it [23:12] xangua, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [23:12] how do I swap the X movement on mu touchscreen? the forums don't help muxh [23:12] liminal: maybe you installed another plugin: gnash, swfdec ¿¿ [23:12] nothing is showing [23:14] ive heard the latest dev release of chrome supports flash [23:14] liminal did you installed Flash from apt or from adobe website? [23:14] not sure how to install it though [23:14] i guess i'll bb another day...really gotta sleep now [23:14] zaxonspox no - i tried, but apt installation didnt work [23:14] harjot: http://tinyurl.com/33dzeol [23:14] ciao [23:14] thx for the help [23:14] harjot: and also check http://tinyurl.com/5kgx6l [23:15] bastid_raZor: ok [23:15] 1 [23:15] liminal download Flash tar.gz package from adobe website, unpack it, then type in terminal sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [23:15] exit [23:15] does no one use a touchscreen?

[23:18] sorry API [23:19] harjot: IIRC knetworkmanager has that in its setting when setting up a network, it has a dropdown list and Ad-hoc is in the choices [23:19] no sorry APT [23:19] limen_: dd_rescue won't help at all in this instance. [23:19] liminal did you tried version tar.gz from adobe website [23:19] why does it ask me to choose an application [23:19] Typos_King: im on hardy 8.04 [23:19] Typos_King: so it doesnt [23:20] hey guys need some help with a wifi card [23:20] nmblookup -M [23:20] harjot: maybe you're not looking at all :{, I've seen it, I believe in 7.1 as well [23:20] hi, I need to install java on 9.04 [23:20] liminal: liminal download Flash tar.gz package from adobe website, unpack it, then type in terminal sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [23:21] some instructions say I have to install sun-java6-bin, but the apt doesn't seem to find that package [23:21] Typos_King: ive looked in knetworkwmanger [23:21] i dont think I have a problem just wish flash. [23:21] Typos_King: ther is no create option [23:22] i mean if i installed the restricted extras.. why isnt it showing already? === zac is now known as Purpley [23:22] harjot: ... look where? is not as conspicous IIRC, is not like an option right on the right-click menu, you have to 'make a new connection or network' and from there do a manual setup, tell what type, and somewhere in the choices it has it, I don't use knetworkmanager, though I'm on kubuntu too :P [23:23] Typos_King: IIRC is another network manager? [23:23] harjot: IIRC if I recall correctly ^_^ [23:25] Jordan_U, thx - the dd_rescue didn't help at all :) trying the gddrescue as we speak - sure making alot of noise - but no errors yet :) deeply appreciate your help! [23:25] is there another way to see the cpu load besides top and htop? [23:25] zaxonspox ive done the tarball extract [23:25] liminal: What version of Ubuntu ate you using ? [23:25] seems to now be working [23:25] which is great thanks [23:25] but im still worried i have other issues [23:25] 9.10 32bit [23:26] liminal what issues? with what? [23:27] wertwertgfhjrer: there are several apps to show such.... many GUI ones too like 'gkrellm' -> http://www.mindlandgraphics.com/big/GkrellmSS.jpg [23:27] IdleOne: Sent you a message in offtopic. [23:27] wertwertgfhjrer: it's in the repos, so :) [23:27] liminal: Any other issues we may help with today/night =? [23:28] liminal: you got your graphics card problem resolved? [23:28] or whatever ewas going on [23:29] yes and no [23:29] :( [23:29] the Cube must be the first cubicle anyone liked for a long time :P [23:29] ive got a marathon to take part in tomorrow [23:29] i guess it will have to wait [23:30] hm. has anybody here used simple-scan? [23:30] liminal: FYI, chrome/opera also uses/checks -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for plugins to load, so, that'll work with your chrome version too [23:30] i need something for ubuntu that can scan documents into pdfs [23:30] is that possible? [23:30] liminal, marathon? running? [23:30] liminal: i had a problem too, haha...i just reinstalled [23:30] Macer: ps2pdf ? [23:30] have a feeling its gonna happen again [23:30] Brimstones: but what would i use to scan it? [23:30] Macer: xsane or so [23:31] xsane scans documents into pages? [23:31] no running.. just disrupting [23:31] god it annoys me how ubuntu keeps messing with random stuff from one release to the next [23:31] i was hoping to use something that can scan pages [23:31] okay sleep [23:31] like php being disabled in userdir by default [23:32] Macer: A pdf will be split into pages automatically i think, otherwise therell be some cmd to the ps* cmd's to adjust for that. [23:32] when it worked fine in the last release [23:32] Macer: xsane, kooka [23:32] kooka? [23:32] yes, is a scan app [23:33] have to add a repo for it? [23:33] not sure if it does to pdf, but that's a minor issue once the doc is scanned [23:33] Macer: xsane, kooka are both old apps, newer versions will be in the repos, kooka is kde's default scan app [23:33] Macer: xscanimage, scanimage (xsane) [23:33] limen_: Funny, when I was trying to find information about getting past ARccOS protection on linux my google-foo failed me. I just tried ddrescue to see what would happen and was surprised when it actually made a working iso. But now I see that I am of course not the first person to find that ddrescue gets passed it, as there are many posts online about it. So it's very likely that it will work for your disk as well :) [23:34] macer: look at the ocr programs for scanning text [23:34] ah.. i'm running kubuntu [23:34] maybe it's there already [23:34] Macer: you want to automate the scanning to pdf right ? [23:34] Macer: k*something is a gui [23:34] mostly [23:35] Brimstones: yeah. i know. ;) [23:35] Hello, I'm having some issues with my graphics driver on Ubuntu 10.04, I don't seem to be able to anti-alias [23:35] Brimstones: if i could yes [23:35] but i'm not seeing kooka in kubuntu's repos [23:36] let me see if i can find it and have to add a repo [23:36] is 10.04 out? [23:36] wertwertgfhjrer only RC1 === yukiseaside is now known as Guest62784 [23:36] not right now, however the BETA is the only thing that runs on my comp [23:36] 9.10 throws a fit on install [23:37] Macer: I investigated these things alot a year ago or so. I was costructing a program for talking to the USB C-PEN but it required Firmware that i dont think was distributable :( ... Hand scanner pen. [23:37] Macer: I wanted to use it with gocr and those things [23:37] oh [23:37] well. i'm reading their site now [23:37] maybe i can figure something out in a little bit [23:38] but i just don't want to have to install windows on the box simply for scanning docs [23:38] :) [23:38] I'm using an ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4560 card === Guest62784 is now known as yukiseaside [23:38] Ok, ill be on... wathing a western with some Jack D though :P [23:38] Jordan_U, thats strange - I tried the dd_rescue and it spits out alot of "failed blocks"- Does the iso work anyway? [23:38] It has anti-aliasing in Windows but I can't get it with the driver from Hardware drivers or the open source one [23:39] Macer: ... odd, I don't see it in the repos either :{ [23:39] Typos_King: heh [23:39] yeah.. that is odd [23:39] Brimstones: Broadcom wireless cards have the same problem, distros get past it by using a script that downloads the windows driver directly from broadcom's site and extracts the firmware from it. [23:39] limen_: Change HD if its going down. [23:39] maybe they don't have a kde 4.x ver of it [23:39] Brimstones: See b43-fwcutter and its postinst. [23:40] Macer: that means another app does it in kde4 [23:40] limen_: dd_rescue or ddrescue? [23:40] Jordan_U: Yeah, but its not how id like it. I could call them and demand the source though :) [23:40] The latest release of Kooka is 0.44 for KDE 3.2.x: Download the source archive (tar.bz2, about 1.2MB) [23:40] libkscan sources are included [23:40] heh [23:40] kde 3.2.x :) [23:41] let me ask in #kde [23:41] i should try kde one day [23:41] Macer: http://kooka.kde.org/news/ [23:41] hehe [23:41] Jordan_U: Ill get back to fixing that later, but i need more data to make it work. [23:41] Brimstones: Just don't let it keep you from releasing a valuable piece of software :) [23:41] I'm new on here is there a program like fab decryter for linux ? [23:41] is the cpu load saved anywhere in a file? [23:41] how do I keep my screen from going blank when the computer is idle? [23:41] Jordan_U: Naah, i like to release my software [23:42] owner: to rip/encode dvds? [23:42] ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [23:42] -_- [23:42] same thing [23:42] mewshi, go to power management [23:42] I already looked there [23:42] mewshi: turn off ... standby after so many minutes [23:42] Typos_King: that was from 2007 [23:42] well to burn them to be able to play on a dvd player [23:42] heh === david is now known as Guest39833 [23:42] so i guess no scanning software for kde anymore? :) [23:43] Macer: it seems that Gimp can do scanning as well, so [23:43] Please help me find out how to limit the burn speed in brasero. [23:43] I have setup raid 1 disks on my ICH10R, working properly on Windows7. However, on Ubuntu, the disks are not picked up as being Raid (according to dmraid). Can anyone give me a hand with that? [23:43] hi, anybody with knowledge about DSDT Tables? [23:43] mewshi, go to terminal and type gnome-power-preferences. the rest is self explaining [23:43] mecer: cscan2pdf ? [23:44] Typos_King: yeah but document scanning? [23:44] i doubt gimp would do the document thing :) [23:44] owner: to burn them you just need a burning app, dvdfab decrypter only rips AFAIK [23:44] yesterday, i installed the newest nvidia drivers from the site and couldnt boot to gui...followed some howtos from the forums, still didnt work [23:44] Macer: I use GTK+ to code for both KDE and GNOME. Its just a programming language. [23:44] someone else told me to try installing them from the hardware drivers menu in ubuntu [23:44] now i get a flickering prompt...any idea what i should try next? [23:44] Brimstones: but i doubt that gimp would scan documents [23:44] :) [23:44] what is AFAIK? [23:45] let me rephrase the question: I want to prevent the screen from locking after so many minutes. How do I do this? [23:45] Macer: the libkscan is included, is just a matter to have a client-app call it, I gather something like digiKam and Gimp call it for scanning, thus [23:45] i mean it CAN .. but the documents would be images for each page.. that requires too much manual work to scan a document [23:45] <[JFET]> owner: AFAIK = as far as i know [23:45] Macer: It does, but uses xsane for it i think. [23:45] Jordan_U, is there a difference? [23:45] so does that mean that xsane does it on its own? :) [23:45] <[JFET]> guys, how/where can i file an ubuntu-related openldap bug? [23:46] mewshi - system - preferences - screensaver (choose minutes to lock screen) [23:46] limen_: Yes, the two are in fact almost completely unrelated except by name :) [23:46] let me install it and i'll take a look at xsane [23:46] owner: as far as I know, AFAIK :) [23:47] [JFET]: I'd assume there's an openldap channel [23:47] ok thanks that makes sense. I have a burner & but it won't let mecopy any store bought [23:47] skanlite? [23:47] :) [23:47] <[JFET]> Typos_King: I think this is about /etc/init.d script parametering [23:48] <[JFET]> /etc/defaults/slapd to be precise [23:48] that looks like it might be what i need... let me hook my other kubuntu box back up and try it out [23:48] I'd appreciate some help. I've looked thru all the menus myself. Please help me find out how to limit the burn speed in brasero. If there is a way? [23:48] <[JFET]> still openldap? [23:48] i have a ton of bills i need to scan and shred and don't have a win box anymore other than my aspire1 netbook [23:48] and the only reason i kept windows on it was to make sure i could scan still :) [23:49] [JFET]: can't say... all you can do here is ask :) [23:49] Jordan_U, ohh :) Downloaded the package ddrescue wich have this descriptition http://paste.ubuntu.com/421908/ [23:49] mewshi I didnt see your initial question but I've been getting locking too. [23:49] limen_: Install the package "gddrescue" [23:49] ogen:when you are going to burn, click on properties, there you can change the speed [23:49] I know on a windows program you used to have to use decrypter then use shrink but since decrypter was bought out they say you have to buy it [23:49] barbarella, click on properties where, of what, at which point in the process? [23:50] barbarella, let me find a disc so I get go further. [23:50] <[JFET]> okay. so if I specify multiple interfaces where slapd would listen (-h ldap://alpha.fqdn.tld ldap://localhost/ ldapi:/// as ubunut suggests) it won't recognise olcServerID cocnfigs and multimaster replication will be broken [23:50] ogen:did you insert de cd or dvd? [23:51] Macer: I use Gestetner printer/scanners to make PDF's of whole book-style-things and then email them to someone in one swoop! :=) / Granted you need one of those first [23:51] Jordan_U, I have - and is now running "sudo ddrescue /dev/cdrom Video/friends.iso friends_ddrescue.log" [23:51] * Fiveways sighs [23:51] barbarella, I did one last night regular speed. I am only doing cd's now. I have no disk in. Will need to get it now.. in box below here. [23:51] [JFET]:netstat would say [23:51] anyone using hardware acceleration on an nvidia card? [23:51] ogen:yes [23:51] Fiveways: Its impolite to sigh out loud. [23:52] <[JFET]> you were right, it is openldap side error. openldap expects its configuration like this [23:52] how can i make ubuntu start only on console mode [23:52] Brimstones: what if its a sigh of relief? :) [23:52] ogen:then go for properties and change the speed [23:52] barbarella, have disk in, just aminute to decide what to burn. [23:52] Fiveways: Plus it brings you down to say it. Its better to say "Yeehaw!!!" :) [23:52] barbarella, properties of What? [23:52] what file is that ? [23:52] Mr_Crowley: use the 'recovery mode' entry from grub :) [23:52] Brimstones: ive been having the same problem for 2 days now [23:52] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/421912/ (Ilove pastebin :) ) [23:52] Fiveways: You on lucid ? [23:53] no, im on karmic [23:53] HI [23:53] ogen:why don't you try gnomebaker [23:53] every time i try to install these nvidia drivers (even the ones recommended in the hardware drivers) i have issues [23:53] Fiveways: A problem with the latest updates ? Cant run OpenGL apps on my lucid [23:54] Is there anyway to keep evolution open after close (in notification tray) [23:55] ITS THERE OTHERS CHATS IN HERE? [23:55] ROOM [23:55] limen_: The problem, if I understand it correctly, is that the DVD has been made so that some blocks have an incorrect crc, which makes it seem to the OS like the read has failed because the crc of the date doesn't match the crc stored on the DVD. [23:55] Fiveways: It keeps telling me that nvidia96 blah blah activated something. Removing it and then adding it again (act/deactivate) doesnt help. [23:55] yeah [23:55] ok [23:56] alket:alltray maybe? [23:56] limen_: Normally the OS skips the entire block when it encounters this, and this is what ddrescue will do on its first pass. [23:56] i guess i just wont be using hardware acceleration [23:56] My girlfriend wants to play Plants VS Zombies but that wont run good wo OpenGL / Accel. [23:56] yeah [23:56] this is why i stopped using osx on my other pc [23:56] barbarella: No, Im in lucid, when I close empathy or gwiiber it stays open but not evolution [23:57] Fiveways: It would be nice if those nvidias/atis would release their source (One fits both im sure) [23:57] when is lucid netbook remix being released? [23:57] everything was working except graphics acceleration [23:57] heh [23:57] barbarella, Now I have bracero open - a blank disk in and - the files to burn chosen. I'm ready for instructions. (smile. thanks.) [23:57] tomatoes7, i guess april 29th, you could download the beta 2 [23:57] I just installed a new theme with theme installer. It's not in preferences > appearance. Where the heck is it? [23:57] alket:then try apt-get install mail-notification [23:58] Mr_Crowley, sudo nano /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to text, then update-grub and restart [23:58] barbarella: Is it for evolution ? [23:58] Jordan_U, Doesn't really know what crc is but a quick google tells me it's some kind of cecksum. So the author of the DVD have invented a copy-protection based on giving bad checksums? [23:58] alket:mail default [23:59] barbarella, are you telling me that it cannot be done in Bracero? [23:59] Fiveways: I bet its a US or English product, duplicated and sent to Taiwan and Japan for further enhancements/worsifications and duplications. And they in turn could be told to never ever be allowed to release the sources that are initially the same code. [23:59] etc [23:59] is there an apt-remove-respository command? [23:59] barbarella, are you telling me that it cannot be done in Bracero? (when you suggest gnomebaker - which I never heard of, assume it is another burning program. )
