[00:00] grmrgecko_: what up? [00:00] cage_raphel: ---> Losha: cage_raphel: grub-install --version [00:01] cage_raphel: what does that say? [00:01] can anyone tell me if there is a GUI way to manually turn the fans on my laptop on? they are on, but only at 2000 rpm. which is idle speed. Macbook pro 4,1. plz help. dont want laptop to melt. lol [00:01] zaxonspox: I am trying to get ubuntu-desktop + vnc4server on my server in a datacenter. The os is ubuntu server 9.10 and I used apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop [00:02] zaxonspox, this is what i got when i searched for /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:02] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/422439/ [00:03] grmrgecko_: you are on server, right? have GUI? [00:03] any mac users out there help a brother out? [00:03] cage_raphel: grub2 no longer uses menu.lst, the akin file for that will be 'grub.cfg' however since 'update-grub' modifies it using templates, is recommended to make any wanted 'permanent' changes in the templates, /etc/defaults/grub, rather than at grub.cfg directlyi, though I've done it to grub.cfg and then I make a backup for anything :) [00:03] thx augustl, red2kic [00:03] zaxonspox: it's in some data center, I have root ssh access. [00:03] Typos_King, grub-install --version [00:03] grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) [00:03] i'll look elsewhere [00:03] pg1: im shure thers alot of mac user at #apple [00:03] lol [00:03] cage_raphel: well, it has the wrong version :P [00:03] hehe [00:04] Typos_King, hehehehe [00:04] cage_raphel: maybe due to an update I assume, rather than a full install [00:04] gogeta, nice lol but they wont know a thing about ubuntu unfortunately. my question might not be mac specific though. maybe it is idk [00:04] grmrgecko_: install vino and vinagre [00:04] Typos_King, i am planning to install open solaris in my second partition.. will this grub's wrong version cause an issue? [00:05] grmrgecko_: vino for a server, and vinagre as for a client [00:05] cage_raphel: don't think so, I think the versioning is a bit mixed up, sorta reading up old info/file/cached data [00:05] what application do i use to open .run files? [00:06] pg1: lol [00:06] pg1 terminal :P [00:06] pg1: what is it supposed to be? [00:06] zaxonspox I use Chicken of the VNC for my client. As I said I have no displays connected all I have is ssh. [00:06] pg1: just ./file.run [00:06] Typos_King, games. enemrt territory and trmulous [00:06] Typos_King, oh okie.. but what i fear is.. once i install open solaris in my second partition.. my opensolaris will boot.. but what will happen to ubuntu? how will i access it incase grub menu is not displaying an option ? [00:06] yeah, I think .run are executables [00:07] zaxonspox I already have vino installed but I was never really able to get it to start. [00:07] grmrgecko_: yy, then wen you can connect thru ssh, what for a VNC server on it? [00:07] hello all [00:07] pg1: I think .run are executables, just do an -> ls -l; and make sure it has execute permissions if not, then -> chmod a+x FILE.run; [00:07] Typos_King, oh my god why cant I just click on it lol [00:08] heheh [00:08] !repeat [00:08] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:08] pg1: you can once they have excute permission [00:08] there's a patch for it already if you can be bothered to recompile http://bit.ly/c6ieX5 [00:08] Typos_King, oh okie.. but what i fear is.. once i install open solaris in my second partition.. my opensolaris will boot.. but what will happen to ubuntu? how will i access it incase grub menu is not displaying an option ? [00:08] gogeta, so I just click properties and make it 777? [00:08] pg1: cuz *nix doesn't get fooled easily by just doing extension switcharoos like you'd on other OS'es :P [00:08] why after downloading an audio book, was it gone next time I reopened rhythmbox? [00:08] zaxonspox Didn't really understand what you mean by that but I can't find any way other then connecting with -x to start vino and when I did that the screen was all gibberish [00:08] pg1: chmod a+x file.run [00:09] hi. can anyone guide me in copying a folder and its contents from one ubuntu machine to another ubuntu machine? [00:09] grmrgecko_: this server is yours? you have rights to it, and it hase GUI? [00:09] i feel ignored :( [00:09] donna_: is it in the folder that rhythembox scans? [00:10] zaxonspox this is my server I rented in a data center to run my sites on and I wanted to have a gui to it which is why I'm trying to install a vnc server to access gnome. [00:10] vallhala81: sorry I do not know, how do I find out? [00:10] how do i list the bus and device id of connected usb devices? [00:10] i am able to ping the other machine ... but get a connection refused when i try to ssh to it [00:11] Spasysheep: lspci [00:11] grmrgecko_: ok, but this SRV has already started GUI desktop? [00:11] Jordan_U: Heya, you could take over my computer remotely if it would help you? [00:11] Good evening. [00:11] zaxonspox it has started x11 from what I saw by running startx. [00:11] donna_: ok in preferences on rbox inthe music tab it shows what folder it scans [00:11] zaxonspox I installed ubuntu-desktop and xorg via apt-get [00:11] grmrgecko_: type ps -aux | grep vino [00:12] tried rsync too but same connection refused error [00:12] cage_raphel: there's a high likelyhood that solaris will be using grub and likely a new one, and even with older it will find the ubuntu or any win32 if any installations and add it, in any case, you can restore grub back to the MBR, is a simple procedure, by for any case, you can also NOW, save the MBR state, with -> sudo dd if=/dev/sda out=sda_mbr.img bs=512 count=1; that assumes your 1st HD is /dev/sda, and you can put [00:12] can anyone tell me if there is a GUI way to manually turn the fans on my laptop on? they are on, but only at 2000 rpm. which is idle speed. Macbook pro 4,1. plz help. dont want laptop to melt. lo [00:12] tadhg: It wouldn't [00:12] is ssh disabled even for local lan connections by defult in ubuntu? [00:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/422442/ [00:12] gogeta: ...didn't list the device [00:13] default* [00:13] pg1: no that I know of :| === marienz_ is now known as marienz [00:13] Spasysheep: humm maybe ubuntu does not see it [00:13] Jordan_U: no prob [00:13] zaxonspox seems all I get back is the grep command being ran. [00:13] grmrgecko_: vino server isnt even started [00:13] vallhalla81: actually it first scanned to my music folder and then the next time I opened rhythmbox move to missing files [00:13] zaxonspox how do I start it. [00:14] I searched all over [00:14] if it can ping y not ssh to it [00:14] gogeta dmesg registers it connecting / disconnecting [00:14] Spasysheep: then it should be in that list probly as unknown [00:14] i have not installed any firewall on both ubuntus [00:15] gogeta: no, i know what all the listed devices are and it's not there [00:15] donna_: well i would sugest change it to where your music is stored ie music then move the audio book to that folder [00:15] does anyone know where I can find information on setting up a usb touchscreen monitor on ubuntu 9.10 NBR? [00:15] i am using a wifi router though ... could that be a reason? [00:15] humm [00:15] is there a source repos for truecrypt? [00:16] !truecrypt [00:16] Truecrypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [00:16] anyone? [00:16] /server irc.p2p-network.net [00:16] zaxonspox: All I can find is the vino-server command, but it says it cannot open display. [00:16] rtty: ubuntu comes with a fireewall by defult [00:17] vallhalla81: okay, could you instruct me as to how to do that, and then I want to download the audio book to my mp3. Tried to get help on manuel etc. no luck [00:17] firewall === Spasysheep is now known as spasysheep|brb [00:17] gogeta: how do i let it rsync ? === TMK is now known as Guest45645 [00:17] !firewall [00:17] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [00:17] donna_: ok how are you downloading the file? [00:17] allow rsync rather [00:18] rtty: thers a info on it [00:18] how do i run my x64 install in 32 bot mode so I can install a 32 bit game? [00:18] ufw ok reading [00:18] grmrgecko_: look at this, mayby it will help a litle http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981 [00:18] ty gogeta [00:18] the installer gives up as documented here http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/index.html#64bits [00:18] rtty, use examples to help us to help you. For example, machine1 has ssh server and machine2 has ssh client. the command netstat -tlnp | grep -i ssh shows the sshd listening port and so on. [00:18] pg1: virtualbox [00:18] pg1: do, nothing :) [00:19] zaxonspox: I found that and there is no %gconf.xml. [00:19] pg1: afaik, 64bit hardware will handle 32bit just fine, is backward compatible [00:19] grmrgecko_: are you sure vino is installed? [00:19] vallhalla81, im not going to run a 3d game in a vbox. Typos_King i dont understand [00:19] zaxonspox: Yes if I run the command vino-server it says cannot open display. [00:20] Typos_King, the installer gives up. its documented here http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/index.html#64bits but i dont really understand how to fix it [00:20] pg1: then your other option is install a 32bit distro [00:20] If you run the installer through the emulated 32 bits environement it should work [00:20] zaxonspox: As I said it's a server in a data center, no displays at all. [00:20] vallhalla81: tell you what I did. inserted the audio cd, soundjuicer came on and extracted, saved the audio in my rhythmbox. So I figured the audio files were saved at least on the drive. Next time, I went to listen to the audio they were missing. I went into the missing files and all that was there was some music that I downloaded. (sorry, got confused with another problem) [00:21] cviniciusm: the grep returned no results [00:21] how do i change permissions so i can change maps for a game? [00:21] grmrgecko_: "The server executable is /usr/lib/vino/vino-server. [00:21] It only must run when the gconf key /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled is true." but why there are display problems [00:21] cviniciusm: do i install ssh or start it somehow? [00:21] donna_: ok first open sound j and see where it is saving files too [00:21] fyretux: be more specific about what you want to do. You probably don't want to change permissions of anything [00:22] rtty, so sshd daemon is not running. [00:22] zaxonspox: Because there is no display as I said. [00:22] cviniciusm: sudo netstat -tlnp | grep -i ssh -> no results [00:22] cviniciusm: how do i start it? [00:22] .............. [00:22] pg1: all that says that, the installation script may get confused when looking for 32big dependencies names, and they advise to extract and copy files manually to their respective folder [00:22] sudo sshd [00:22] I have nothing to do here, [00:22] ok ty [00:22] un214: no, that is not the proper way to start sshd [00:22] grmrgecko_: no display adapter attached, ok, i know, but that shouldnt be a problem [00:22] I was NOT here [00:22] hola [00:22] pg1: it says nothing about 32bit not executing in 64bit hardware [00:23] hola [00:23] how do i extract? it is a .run file [00:23] vallhalla81: opened sound juicer and there was nothing in there.

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:23] heh [00:23] jrib it's good enough to bring it up when your display is hosed so you can remote in and fix it [00:23] cviniciusm: sudo sshd command not found [00:23] rtty, dpkg -l | grep -i ssh does it shows ssh server installed? [00:23] pg1: .run file for what exactly? [00:23] grmrgecko_: did you looked at xorg.conf ? [00:23] un214: use: sudo service ssh start [00:23] zaxonspox: No I did not. [00:23] tadhg: run "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" it will most likey create a new empty file, but be sure you type the path correctly or use copy and paste. The "X" in X11 is capitalized. [00:23] donna_: you need to look in preffeences again to see where it is saving to [00:24] jrib, a game. enemy terriory [00:24] pg1: try using your archiver app :), .run are like a .deb, IIRC, is just a compressed file with a few scripts to execute for the sake of installs [00:24] tadhg: Then paste this into it for the contents: http://pastebin.com/8tWpiwWG . Once you'v done that and saved the file logging out and back in again will hopefully get you full resolution [00:24] Typos_King: not always [00:24] grmrgecko_: look at this, that should resolv your problem http://imthi.com/blog/linux/ubuntu-904-remote-desktop-using-vncserver-without-monitor.php [00:24] jrib: i want to be able to edit maps for "The Battle of Wesnoth" but it says that it couldn't open the file for writing when i save [00:24] cviniciusm: it listed openssh-client, ssh-askpass-gnome and sshfs only [00:24] zaxonspox: Appears as if it's not existing === adante_ is now known as adante [00:25] pg1: make it executable (e.g. chmod +x file.run), type the path to it in a terminal (e.g. ./file.run), and press enter [00:25] grmrgecko_: look at the link i send to you [00:25] zaxonspox: thanks, I'll look. [00:25] jrib, i did that. it fails [00:25] Typos_King, it says archivew not supported [00:25] sudo service ssh start returns unrecognized service [00:25] pg1: what does "it fails" mean?... [00:25] !permissions > fyretux [00:25] fyretux, please see my private message [00:26] rtty: what exactly is the issue? [00:26] pg1: well..... hehe, you seem to be lacking reading, that link you gave shows how to run in 32bit emulation, by using 'linux32' command :| [00:26] zaxonspox: Oh yeah, I was looking at that, but at the end all I got was x11 not gnome. [00:26] jrib, the installer doesnt work because im on a 64 bot install. [00:26] rtty: then you dont have it installed sudo apt-get install sshd [00:26] jrib: i want to rsync from one ubuntu machine to another [00:26] vallhalla81: went to system, preferences than what would be the next choice? [00:26] Typos_King, im not really saavy with cli, lol the syntax is wrong and i never know if it worked or not [00:26] the can ping each other but not ssh/ rsync [00:27] sshfs allows an encrypted mount point. Do you want a mount point or simply exchange files between the machines? [00:27] pg1: you should explain that in your question [00:27] jrib: i know what file permissions are, i just don't know how to change ones thjat aren't mine [00:27] pg1: linux32 --help; [00:27] fyretux: the page explains that [00:27] donna_: not to sure as i am not at a pc so you will have to look abot for it sorry [00:27] ok [00:27] about [00:27] rtty: and you want to do this over ssh? You need to install openssh-server if you want to run the ssh server [00:27] Typos_King, $ linux32 sh '/home/patrick/Downloads/et-linux-2.55.x86.run' gives me the same error [00:28] gogeta: simply exchange files [00:28] cviniciusm: ^ [00:28] pg1: what error? be specific please [00:28] vallhalla81: okay, thank you [00:28] jrib: i just want to transfer files ... ssh or no ssh [00:28] tadhg: I will be gone for about half an hour. [00:28] jrib: he has a 32bit game, install script (.run) whines about dependencies and stops, cuz he's on 64bit environment, he also pointed to -> http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/index.html#64bits which has solutions heheh [00:29] jrib, what Typos_King said, but the "solutions" arent quite clear yet; for me at least lol [00:29] someone could tell me why is there this error when I add something at repositories?

[00:41] thank you [00:41] and for those repositories [00:41] http://ppa.launchpad.net [00:41] gogeta, what is the line limit for pasting [00:41] kaushal: where's this leading to? :) [00:42] grmrgecko_: did startx command worked? [00:42] Typos_King: so he just needs ia32-libs [00:42] heh [00:42] how can I install them [00:42] !paste | pg1 [00:42] pg1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[00:42] for display 0 [00:42] and i have run sudo apt-get update [00:42] jrib, ok if i use history -c it does clear it and it will not scroll back but after you close the shell and open it again everything will be back again [00:42] gogeta, http://paste.ubuntu.com/422454/ [00:42] Typos_King: is there a page dedicated for certified laptops running ubuntu ? [00:42] grmrgecko_: mayby restart it /etc/init.d/gdm restart ? [00:43] pg1: yes thats normal [00:43] kaushal: hehehe, I don't even know what a 'certified laptop' is :{ [00:43] pg1: as i said sudo aptitude install ia32-libs [00:43] lazyPower: what dpkg errors? [00:43] I guess mine must be uncertified heh [00:43] gogeta, i did that lol [00:43] pg1: then try again with linux32 file.run [00:43] hiexpo: the file is usually ~/.bash_history, you can delete it if you want [00:43] ok [00:44] Bodsda, not sure. I'm doing a remote support session with a friend trying to do file recovery [00:44] bodsda: do i need to get that error copied out for you? [00:44] pg1: try -> linux32 --help; [00:44] may someone who have debian pastebin me the output the output for "lsb_release -a" ? [00:44] thanks in advance [00:44] pg1: why bother issuing the command if you may not even have it installed [00:44] smashes head into laptop [00:44] pg1: you dud linux32 ./file.run [00:44] paissad: this is #ubuntu [00:44] did [00:44] lazyPower: yeah - were not gonna be able to elp without knowing why dpkg is complaining [00:44] jrib, yes i know [00:45] after installing ia32 [00:45] k === spasysheep|brb is now known as spasysheep [00:45] gogeta, yes [00:45] pg1: then we do methed 2 [00:45] gogeta, lol-how to extract? [00:45] hey does anyone know how to adjust audio capture in xubuntu? atm i can't really use skype [00:45] pg1: ./file.rin -keep [00:45] run [00:46] please is there some one can provide a screen shouts from the ubuntu 10.4 ? [00:46] pg1: it will still crash but the extracted file should stay [00:46] pg1: then move them manuly to /usr/local/games [00:47] klabezo: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-beta-1-screenshots-gallery.html [00:47] gogeta, where is extracted file? [00:47] What's Kubuntu's equivalent to Network Manager, for the purpose of determining nameservers? [00:47] pg1: should be in the same dir [00:47] pg1: if you used keep [00:47] thank you typos [00:47] hey does anyone know how to adjust audio capture in xubuntu? atm i can't really use skype [00:47] pg1: sorry its --keep [00:47] gogeta, i did. same error. i dont see dir. gawd almight this shiuldnt be so hard [00:48] /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_ver#_distinfo-i386.deb -- dpkg subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned and error code 1 [00:48] ./file.run --keep [00:48] Bodsda: /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_ver#_distinfo-i386.deb -- dpkg subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned and error code 1 [00:48] robertzaccour: it'd be the same as in gnome's, since Xubuntu is just gnome using xfce as window manager, and a few lighter apps [00:49] I thought I wanted a truely lightweight WM until I found out that if I do that I can't get apps to respect my X accessabiltiy settings [00:50] gogeta, it was one dir up! gaahhhh ok now I need to move them and everything should be a-ok? [00:50] pg1: yep just make a launcher if you like [00:50] lazyPower: try apt-get -f install [00:50] pg1: serenity now, serenity now, serenity now -- seinfeld [00:51] pg1: just drage and drop that entire dir into /usr/local/games [00:51] zaxonspox: I got it all working via vnc4server, I'll just stay with it. Thanks for the help. [00:51] paissad: #ubuntu is just for ubuntu support so debian questions should be asked in #debian [00:51] gogeta, permission denoed [00:51] lol [00:51] !gksudo | pg1 [00:51] pg1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:51] grmrgecko_: if i only helped [00:51] pg1: then sudo cp it [00:52] Bodsda, still returning error code 1 [00:52] pg1: sudo cp folder /usr/local/games [00:52] wow, such populous channel [00:52] * Typos_King fears for pg1 in 'enemy territory' [00:52] lazyPower: could be that the package is semi-installed, try purging it sudo apt-get purge [00:53] I'm trying to use Wine to play an ORPG with Ubuntu 9.10 on a white macbook version 4-1. The mouse works in every regard except when I try to click on the ground to move my character, although this problem doesn't exist when I use Ubuntu Jaunty, Intrepid and Hardy to do the same thing. I think the problem may originate from a driver change of some kind for the mouse, or the settings or... [00:53] ...something along those lines. How can I revert the driver for the mouse in Ubuntu 9.10 back to the one used in 9.04 and earlier? [00:53] Typos_King, im not even going to play the damn game now. I just need to prove to validate my existance in getting it installed [00:53] k. Thanks [00:53] pg1: well once the files in there you can delete the old one [00:54] can you isntall packages using a live CD? [00:54] pg1: i just use cp if the copy goes wrong [00:54] maybe thats the issue, its trying to write to a read-only FS on the CD? [00:54] lazyPower: failing that, can you pastebin the entire output from the command down - yes you can, thats not the issue [00:54] lazyPower: of course [00:55] lazyPower: I think a live-usb allows you though [00:55] k, and if i had someone that knew how to type verbatim the error, i would be more than happy to paste it but i'm doing this over the phone, typing commands in notepad via teamview :| (by the way if you dont know they have a linux client now that is just... boobies and chicken.) [00:55] hi [00:55] j [00:55] not using a live-USB. PC wouldn't recognize a pendrive as a boot device [00:55] pg1, i was successfully abot to install ET on a 64bit Ubuntu without the need to use "linux32" at all, I simply used "sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run" to install (gksu *might* be better though) [00:55] lazyPower: can you not tell them to pastebinit? [00:55] pg1, s/abot/able [00:56] ZykoticK9: oh i hate you [00:56] probably no internet there from the livecd [00:56] Bodsda, my mom's less than savvy on pastebin and typing out error messages by hand :| [00:56] ll [00:56] lol [00:56] ZykoticK9, are you serious [00:56] Zykotic? [00:56] TDP sounds better [00:56] lazyPower: she cant copy and paste? [00:56] ZykoticK9: after i just had him do a manul extrack [00:56] fair enough. i frogt she's in X [00:56] guys, would it be simple to migrate from gentoo to ubuntu? [00:56] pg1, yes - just tried when you mentioned it [00:56] you can cluebat me now [00:56] Electrocution is also coming. [00:57] * Bodsda cluebats lazyPower :) [00:57] lol === crunchbang is now known as kip [00:57] [00:57] never in my life did i think i'd have a 4 hour tech support call with my mom :| [00:57] gogeta, sorry - i was just reported that i was successful, didn't mean to step on any toes, or get in the way of troubleshooting [00:57] has anyone on here tried to create their own window manager before [00:57] Typos_King, its not the same its different, the controls are different [00:57] I did [00:57] it worked, barely [00:57] lazyPower: I have had worse - I spent 2 hours getting a Councillor to turn her printer on [00:58] ZykoticK9: normaly lack of sudo wouuld give a diffrent error [00:58] un214, what was your experience like? [00:58] O.o [00:58] Seriously? [00:58] strange [00:58] yeah [00:58] Wow [00:58] at bit more primative than twm [00:58] lazyPower, being a free tech support sucks huh lol [00:58] robertzaccour, indeed. [00:58] ZykoticK9, gogeta still cant get it. i dont know what the deal is. [00:59] i do tech support at my high school, its mostly plugging in keyboards for retarted teachers [00:59] lazyPower, you should bill her for gas cost every time you drive there lol jk [00:59] un214, did u give up? [00:59] pg1: well we aruldy got it extracted you just gotta put it in usr/local/games [00:59] I've still got it on that ancient disk [00:59] pg1: using cp [00:59] the reason for writing it no longer existed before I got it finished [00:59] robertzaccour, five states away? O.o i do it over the phone and just yank my hair out [01:00] lazyPower, oh its not about 2 miles away like with my mom lol that sucks [01:00] besides I now use ratposion to fill its role [01:00] i knwo [01:00] it was almost easier when i lived in the same state [01:00] I just had ubuntu crash, I had a mouse pointer and the terminal popup with nothing on it except for a "_", any ideas how this happened? [01:01] lazyPower: we any closer to getting the output? [01:01] i could put it off until i came around for holiday [01:01] un214, I've been thinking today about building my own window manager, but in the last hour thought instead maybe look at another window manager and rebuild on theirs, because if i'm not wrong, the folosofy of linux is to build, share, rebuild share, is that right? [01:01] pg1, gogeta sorry pg1 i just saw your pastebin - you're getting a libgtk error! See http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libgtk-1-2-so-0 good luck. [01:01] bodsda: she went afk to go eat [01:01] ETA: 20 minutes [01:01] ZykoticK9: its due to him being 64bit [01:01] lazyPower: lol - ok - well im off for now, someone else will be able to help [01:01] ZykoticK9, thats good I take it? [01:01] Thanks man [01:01] i think i know whats up [01:01] GreenDance you're quite right and mine never worked well enough to be worth sharing [01:01] no worries [01:01] the local archive is borked [01:01] pg1, gogeta see the link - instructions for installing on 64bit there [01:01] arleslie: boot using the live-cd/usb and do a -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda1; assuming your installation is at 'sda1', if not, just change accordingly [01:02] the package info in /var/cache/apt/info and /var/cache/apt/archive needs to be removed and grab a fresh one [01:02] exit [01:02] pg1: yea looks good [01:02] or is that bad practice? [01:02] lazyPower: you could always just reboot... [01:02] fair enough [01:02] lol [01:02] I'm trying to use Wine to play an ORPG with Ubuntu 9.10 on a white macbook version 4-1. The mouse works in every regard except when I try to click on the ground to move my character, although this problem doesn't exist when I use Ubuntu Jaunty, Intrepid and Hardy to do the same thing.

How can I revert the driver for the mouse in Ubuntu 9.10 back to the one used in 9.04 and earlier? [01:02] hey does anyone know how to adjust audio capture in xubuntu? atm skype isn't detecting audio capture [01:02] Typos_King: My installation is perfectly fine, this is the first time it has happened and I've had ubuntu on here for about 4 months now and that has been ran about a week ago [01:03] robertzaccour, thats in the sound dialogue found under Preferences [01:03] you can set your input device as well as output [01:03] arleslie: well.... either way :), there's always a 1st time for everything [01:03] ZykoticK9: kinda a quick and dirty way but hell if it works [01:04] what I could use is the smallest possible wm that allows me to set system colors away from defaults [01:04] gogeta, that library is really outdated - thus it's removal from Karmic, but yes certainly dirty [01:05] ZykoticK9, gogeta sooo, why me? and how to fix lol [01:05] pg1, not just you - everyone with Karmic is lacking that library (so at least you're not alone) [01:06] ZykoticK9, you are running something older that allowed it to work for you ? [01:07] pg1, no (actually i'm running something new then you probably) - you need to download the 3 old DEB files, and the getlibs program - then use getlibs to virtually install the 32bit libs onto your 64bit system - then you should be ready to rock [01:07] pg1, s/new/newer [01:08] what happened to that nice toolbar app that had a drop down menu of wireless networks within range that was in 8.04 [01:09] inertial, I'm running Intrepid right now and have that [01:10] inertial: nm-applet? [01:10] inertial: its still there just disappers when your connected [01:11] gogeta: is there a way to make it stay there? [01:11] Whenever I try to boot Windows XP Professional on Grub, it appears as a blank screen with a "_" blinking on the top left [01:11] how do I fix it? [01:11] Typos_King: I think it might be nm-applet.. i just tried to start nm-applet and it tells me it's already started.. which would make sense if it's hidden === crunchbang is now known as kip [01:11] I installed Ubuntu after Windows XP [01:11] ZykoticK9, so, I downloaded the 3 things, then I installed the one that says for 64 bits from "all" still no joy-what did i miss? [01:12] pg1, are you installing using the getlibs program? [01:12] Hi, experiencing serious lag when using shortcuts (CTRL+C, anything really, SHIFT+A.... any random combo causes the system to lag horribly...) [01:12] inertial: when you disconnect it comes back [01:12] could anyone help please? [01:12] inertial: it may or may not show, depeding on settings I gather in the window manager, I use it and not use metacity or compiz, and on mine is there in the tray :) [01:12] inertial: so its there when you need it [01:12] !ask | Thorax [01:12] Thorax: 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. :-) [01:12] pg1, you want to be downloading the 32 bit versions of those libraries [01:13] I'm trying to use Wine to play an ORPG with Ubuntu 9.10 on a white macbook version 4-1. The mouse works in every regard except when I try to click on the ground to move my character, although this problem doesn't exist when I use Ubuntu Jaunty, Intrepid and Hardy to do the same thing. I think the problem may originate from a driver change of some kind for the mouse, or the settings or... [01:13] ...something along those lines. How can I revert the driver for the mouse in Ubuntu 9.10 back to the one used in 9.04 and earlier? [01:13] ubottu: makes sense, will do [01:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:13] gogeta: but I used to use it to connect to different wireless networks, and to get a new address using dhcp [01:13] rqiao: no dice with the 'hiren's bootable cd'? [01:13] I can't burn it atm [01:13] :( [01:13] just want to check...If i add a non priv user to my system, they can look around the directories but wont be able to execute anything ? if i want them to not look around theni need to dhrott them in their home? corect? [01:13] I'm trying to find an alternative [01:13] inertial: it still works that way [01:13] ZykoticK9, how do i tell it to use getlibs instead of default [01:13] a very strange thing is happening.. when i goto to certain websites my ubuntu desktop restarts automatically.. any solutions? [01:13] wookienz: no [01:13] rqiao: didn't you say yesterday you have a burner? hehe [01:14] Apparently not [01:14] lol [01:14] they can execute almost anything, but not as root [01:14] k0ala, "certain websites" [01:14] inertial: its only invisable when your acully connected [01:14] lol [01:14] wookienz: most users will be able to view most items, and execute things they own, such as scripts they create or download [01:14] pg1, jameslaicretive.com for example / chess.com [01:14] pg1, are you following the link i sent you? It shows how to use getlibs -- are you sure you downloaded the 32bit versions of the libraries? [01:14] jameslaicreative.com [01:14] rqiao: from what I can tell, Grub is doing its part, the 'blinking cursor', just means that something went up with xp [01:14] yeah [01:15] so really i should chroot them [01:15] idk what's wrong [01:15] Do any open source projects need any help? [01:15] i booted XP find before [01:15] gogeta: hmmmm, I just want to be able to see it when I already am connected [01:15] debugging/adding new features? [01:15] after Ubuntu though, it just stays blank [01:15] fine* [01:15] rqiao: after the ubuntu install? [01:15] Bodsda: un214: so really i should chroot them [01:15] yes [01:15] ZykoticK9, i did. I installed the getlib thing, and now I need to use that to install the 3 debs right? How do I open the three debs with the newly installed thing instead of regular deb installer? [01:15] inertial: why i dont see any use if your on why still see it [01:15] wookienz: depends what your trying to do [01:15] s/do/achieve [01:15] quite [01:16] Bodsa: just allowing a mate tostore stuff on my system as an offsite backup [01:16] pg1, for the first one "sudo dpkg -i libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb" [01:16] gogeta: to change wireless networks, and to 'fix' my connection when I need to get a new address from dhcp [01:16] pg1, sorry ignore my last statement - itswrong [01:16] inertial: then just slect disconnect and its all visable again [01:16] wookienz: then probably just don't let them read your home dir [01:16] ZykoticK9, it certainly scared me enough lol [01:16] pg1 use "sudo getlibs -i libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb" [01:16] gogeta: select disconnect from where? [01:16] hello_warudo, maybe Wine? [01:17] inertial: click on it [01:17] gogeta: but I can't see it :) [01:17] wookienz: chroot won't prevent them from uploading their own binaries and running them if they want to have some fun [01:17] wookienz: I dont see why this needs a user account - will he be at your machine, physically? [01:17] what could make it restart everytime i visit that website [01:17] inertial: its the little wireless icone on the top [01:17] hey guys i'm trying to pair a Motorola S305 bluetooth headset with my notebook but i get a message saying "it doesn't support input service" and can't get it to work. Anybody know what could be happening? thanks in advance. I'm using kubuntu karmic, i don't if it matters. [01:17] gogeta: I have it visiable at all times in my window manager, I see a huge use, to tell me my signal strength or any other access points with better connection ^_^ [01:18] inertial: right click on it it will show the wifi your on then slect disconnect [01:18] gogeta: well for some reason it's not showing it [01:18] Bodsda: no he wont be at the machine... just purely to upload stuff via an rsync command from his side.. Better options? [01:18] So does anyone know what's up? [01:19] inertial: not thats odd mine stays visable even connected just shows the network im on [01:19] ZykoticK9, doesnt work. gives me an error "wrong architecture, this is an i386 package" eff this. if I update to 10.4 will it work? [01:19] rqiao: from what I can tell, Grub is doing its part, the 'blinking cursor', just means that something went up with xp [01:19] heheh [01:19] now [01:19] un214: ok thanks, ill look for a better option... essentially i dont know what i dont know. [01:19] gogeta: well I just killed it and restarted it [01:19] and it is showing again [01:19] meh [01:19] ok [01:19] pg1, updating WILL NOT HELP [01:19] gogeta: heh.. sorry for wasting your time.. :) [01:20] inertial: so it crashed for some reasion [01:20] ZykoticK9, are you sure? it sounds pretty enticing right about now [01:20] rqiao: can you paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file :) [01:20] gogeta: well it was running but the icon wasn't showing [01:20] wookienz: create a user, but dont give them a home dir - then create a folder in / called backup or something and grant that user wrx on that dir [01:20] inertial: yea it shouldent have hid itsself [01:20] pg1, Lucid doesn't contain the library either - you'd need to follow the same steps with it [01:21] i'm going to log out and back in to see if it fixes itself [01:21] ZykoticK9, does get libs have a gui? I cant get terminal to use it [01:21] inertial: i thought you where asking why it ewasent showing all networks [01:21] pg1, "wrong architecture" sounds like your trying to use dpkg instead of getlibs [01:21] pg1, no GUI for getlibs i'm affraid [01:22] ineiros: btw its not hit disconnect justclicking on the connected network will disconnect you [01:23] I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on a white macbook version 4-1 and would like to roll back its mouse drivers and all mouse-related settings back to those used in Ubuntu 9.04 and earlier. How can I do this? [01:24] Bodsda: could i not do the same with a home dir? restrict their rwx ability? [01:25] ZykoticK9, i got the first one installed, the second one says "no packages to install" [01:25] pg1, something wrong with the name you're giving it [01:25] ZykoticK9, but it has pkg in the name instead of getlibs [01:25] wookienz: preventing him from having a homedir restricts his influence on your system - infact, you dont actually need x, just +rw [01:25] Majora_: we did see you, btw, firstly I didn't know what to make out it, I don't think you can on a new version, unless the version allows, and I can't be sure, though sounds to me you may be asking the wrong question [01:25] Is there a way to keep the screen from locking when the system wakes from suspend? [01:26] pg1, only use get getlibs commands "sudo getlibs -i libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb" [01:26] ZykoticK9, im just dragging it inot terminal [01:26] ZykoticK9, its -l not -i i think [01:26] Hey all. Does anyone known a way under Karmic to extract the actual bytes of an audio file? I'm trying to do an analysis on random numbers, and I'm trying to get the random number pattern behind the white noise in audio. [01:26] pg1, -i is install i believe [01:27] jsec: what is the file format of your audio [01:27] .wav, although i can re-record it as an .ogg if necessary [01:27] pg1, sorry it's -i for DEB files [01:27] jsec: to extract actual bytes? what does that mean? [01:27] jsec: the tool sox is a nice 'swiss army knife' for wav files [01:28] Bodsda: so the fact he has a home dir does that give him other abilities? [01:28] if i install the RC can i update to the final version? [01:28] Typos_King: I'm following the 10 minute repeat question guideline in case anyone's AFK and have recently came back. What question should I ask? [01:28] jsec: if you know any programming, this guide is helpful for understanding the format of wav files http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html [01:28] does the RC at least have a new desktop? [01:28] ZykoticK9, ok, i got them installed. The game is still not installing [01:28] pg1, what error? [01:29] jsec, if the file is in a digitized format - then it's just a matter of treating the file as a collection of raw bytes which you can extract using any tool/programming language that can do that - after considering the headers [01:29] wookienz: not really [01:29] Majora_: dunno, tell us what 'not working' means, and what you'd like or expect instead :) [01:29] any grub gurus here ? On a laptop with 9.10 although I think grub was never upgraded to 2, I booted lucid livecd and installed to a flash drive. Now can only see grub menu when flash drive is present otherwise I get error and grub recovery [01:29] ZykoticK9, same This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / unknown [01:29] (tried to run setup) [01:30] unop, inertial, Typos_King: essentially i'm trying to extract the bytes out of the "data" portion of the wav file, I was just wondering if there was any tool to do that or if I had to program something myself. [01:30] jsec: You'll find audio processing libraries for many programming languages. E.g. http://wiki.python.org/moin/Audio/ [01:30] pg1, try using the "linux32 RESTOFCOMMAND..." [01:30] jsec: data dumper can do that, 'dd' [01:30] jsec: sox might be able to do it... apt-get install sox [01:30] jsec: in fact, is pretty much what 'dd' is for [01:31] huhu [01:31] Typos_King: well you have to know where to dd from... and different wav files can have more chunks at the start [01:31] not working means that the input doesn't go through. I can click on the ground in the game world and nothing happens, nothing is registered. I would like for the input to go through. As it's being translated into windows language by Wine, I believe the issue is with a mouse setting that was changed in the leap from Jaunty to Karmic, as all versions of Ubuntu before Karmic can get that input... [01:31] ...across through Wine and to the game [01:31] Typos_King: Oh, is that what dd is an abbriviation for :) [01:31] Typos_King, won't that give me the entire file in bytes (including headers), instead of just the direct audio data? [01:31] geirha: heheh, yea [01:31] can someone tell me where i can see all the users of an irc channel? im using xchat [01:32] hey ZykoticK9 guess what? [01:32] Typos_King: I've used it for years, never known what dd "meant" :) [01:32] jsec: no, you can give 'dd' offset values, what kind of blocks to get, bytes or else, and such [01:32] hipitihop: First boot into lucid and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure that you select the flash drive as the only install device. Then boot 9.10 and do the same (except of course choose the internal hard drive as the install device) [01:32] DieZiege, on the right? [01:32] jsec: I am just reading the sox manpage, and yes it can do what you want [01:32] Typos_King, ok thx. I'll look into it as well as sox. [01:32] jsec: it can strip out the headers so you just have the data you want [01:32] ZykoticK9, it works! youre my hero. that was so incredibly complicated. thank you for all your help [01:32] inertial: just downloaded it, reading through the manpage as well... [01:33] pg1, glad to help [01:33] Jordan_U, in that order or can I just do the reconfigure on 9.,10 ? [01:33] Thanks for the help and the brain-rest. I'm backing up files now. #ubuntu is yet again a life saver. [01:33] tadhg: Are you still here? [01:33] jsec, https://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/422/projects/WaveFormat/ - indicates that the data portion starts at byte index 44 -- so you can use dd in such a way. dd if=/path/to/file.wav of=/path/to/my.dat skip=44 [01:34] hipitihop: It doesn't need to be in that order but you *need* to run it under lucid or else grub will be installed to the HD again whenever the package is upgraded. [01:34] unop: it doesn't always, some wav files have extra info cunks [01:34] ZykoticK9, that was insanely difficult! [01:36] inertial, where in the manpage did you see the command? [01:36] jsec: yeah it's a bit of a long manpage... just search for raw [01:36] Jordan_U, I think I follow.. is there any danger of breaking my existing 9.10 install ? that is the important one and my workhorse [01:37] Jordan_U, also what confuses me is that when I do boot with the flash drive in, it shows the grub version as 1.97 and it is from this menu I can still boot my 9.10 from hdd [01:38] jsec: IIRC sox is actually pretty smart about the file extensions... it can infer the type of the audio file based on it. So you should just be able to go sox sound.wav sound.raw [01:38] heheh [01:38] I'm running mencoder and getting an error like here... http://pastebin.com/49tpncYk Am I missing a package or something? I think it worked before. [01:38] Jordan_U, however when I choose my 9.10 entry aand then run grub-install -v it reports 0.97 [01:38] inertial: Premature EOF on .wav input file [01:39] need some help. .. whats happenning is when i visit certain websites like chess.com/jameslaicreative.com my machine restarts automatically.. ubuntu 9.10 [01:39] inertial: file can do that as well :|, file MYFILE; tells you what type it's, regardless of extension or name [01:39] http://pastebin.com/TfWcTn2T when trying to open an automounted ntfs filesystem i've been asking all day, nobody seems to know any help at all would be appreciated [01:39] jsec: was that a warning or an error message? did it actually create the raw? [01:39] I think it reads the 1st so many bytes off the header [01:41] inertial, looks like it created it. Now just to figure out how to manipulate it from there... >_< [01:41] jsec: you can convert the other way with sox, try sox sound.raw sound-new.wav and check it sounds hte same [01:42] TyanColte: it means, it never automounted :) [01:42] hehe [01:42] TyanColte: http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 [01:42] inertial: sampling rate not specified... I gotta read this manpage a little more in depth [01:43] jsec: oh yeah you'd have to tell it all that info because it's just a raw :) you just set it to whatever the sampling rate and size of hte original files [01:43] meh [01:43] im officially done with linux [01:43] Is this the place to get help with FreeNX ? [01:43] lols [01:43] inertial: gotcha [01:43] too much hassle [01:44] rephrase: Is there a better place to get help with FreeNX ? [01:44] rquiao: too much hassle to burn a cd to check in xp? ok [01:44] Hi. I've installed the Sun Java plugin in Ubuntu but I don't see it in about:plugins and I can't play Java in Firefox. What should I do? Thanks. [01:45] how can I fix overlapping partitions using testdisk? [01:45] jsec: i'm curious to know if you'll find a pattern in the white noise :) good luck [01:46] hipitihop: If you are using grub legacy on the internal hard drive then just boot into it and "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (if /dev/sda is your hard drive). [01:46] inertial: thanks, and thanks for all the help, as well as Typos_King, unop, and geirha [01:47] Anyone know how i can install firefox 3.6? I added firefox repository from article and sudo apt-get firefox-3.6 etc. And it says newest version. [01:47] Add the stable firefox ppa [01:47] But when i open FF and look at version it says v. 3.5.9 [01:47] JK3MP: after adding the repo did you sudo apt-get update? [01:47] Yes i did. [01:47] JK3MP: try running "firefox3.6" in the terminal. [01:48] I followed exadct instructions from ubuntugeek article. [01:48] To follow the how to ask questions guidelines: I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on a white macbook version 4-1 and am trying to play a windows-only MMORPG known as NosTale by using Wine. To move your character in the game world you need to click on the ground near your character. Doing so moves your character to that position. When I do this in Ubuntu 9.10, the input is not registered by the game and... [01:48] ...nothing happens. I would like the input to register, and for my character to move. To solve this I have looked in the bug reports of Wine and have found others with the similar problem, but no answers. I have also tested it using the same machine but with earlier versions of Ubuntu such as 9.04, 8.10, and 8.04. In these versions the input of my mouse is registered to the game world, and... [01:48] ...my character moves. The input of my mouse in Ubuntu 9.10 for the game is registered when I click buttons on the GUI and do any other mouse-related function outside of clicking on the ground in the game world. I believe the cause of the lost input was some kind of setting or driver change for the mouse that was implemented in the leap from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10. How can I roll back... [01:48] ...the driver and settings for the mouse in Ubuntu 9.10 back to those used in Ubuntu 9.04 and earlier? [01:48] Majora_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:48] Command not found. [01:49] I need a app / program that read text! [01:49] how do i do thjaty on Ubuntu? [01:49] that* [01:49] Anyone know my issue? [01:49] added repo with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa [01:49] Text to speech * [01:49] Then sudo apt-get update , then sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6. [01:49] do you know how to install XAMPP [01:50] Majora_: that seems to me to be more of a wine issue. older version of ubuntu also have older versions of wine. there may have been an update in wine that caused a regression. see #winehq they may be able to help [01:50] ubuntu-mozilla-daily? Yuck ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable is where it's at [01:50] Jordan_U, ok, done that rebooting brb [01:51] IdleOne: I don't think it was an update in Wine because I've tried to use other versions of Wine with the pre-9.10 versions of Ubuntu, and the changes in versions had no effect on the input of the mouse. [01:51] mayuya, installing a 3rd party browser doesn't make a lot of sence when there are packages for everything you need are built into Ubuntu's repositories - plus if you have issues this channel can more easily help out. I don't have any links for xampp though, best of luck whatever you decide. [01:51] could someone familiar with NX look at this output and tell me where it failed? [01:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/422475/ [01:51] mayuya, s/browser/web server [01:51] JayX: espeak "Hello world" [01:51] so I am looking to upgrade to 9.10 - still running 8.04 [01:51] Either way still says firefox-3.6 is already newest version when i try to install. [01:51] guys 1 more question [01:52] how do I uninstall ubuntu/system restore [01:52] whats the safest way to do this? [01:52] without going on windows xp [01:52] ? [01:52] Majora_: ok I guess now the trick is to identify what package controls mouse behavior and then get it from packages.ubuntu.com [01:52] JayX: Or "espeak -f /path/to/file.txt" [01:52] How do I uninstall my computer to factory state on ubuntu [01:53] rqiaoo: you mean to a default ubuntu install? fresh installation. Ubuntu does not support rollbacks [01:53] well [01:53] IdleOne: Ah, okay. Thank you. I'll try to find that out. [01:53] please someone tell me how to download this http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-13.0/slackware/ ? [01:53] i just want to restore my computer to only windows xp [01:53] considering i can't even go on windows xp as of now [01:53] Majora_: I would like to tell you which it is but I have no idea [01:54] rqiaoo: did you ask in ##windows yesterday? [01:54] rqiaoo: to do that you will need a windows cd and !fixmbr [01:54] no [01:54] damn [01:55] question, i have installed and uninstalled a few things from my 250gb hard drive, and then i have done a fresh install and know there is 189gb hard drive left! [01:55] anyone? [01:55] IdleOne: Oh, okay. Thank you a lot though, I really appreciate it. [01:55] I just want windows xp back ;_; [01:55] rqiaoo: do you have WinXP cd? [01:55] no, it came with the computer [01:55] I might possibly have it though.. [01:56] What version of python will be on Ubuntu 10.?04? [01:56] Do you have a recovery partition? Like when they are too stingy to give you a CD [01:56] In Ubuntu 9.04 and earlier versions, what package controls mouse behavior? Is there a more specific support channel that I should go to for this kind of question? [01:56] please someone tell me how to download this http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-13.0/slackware/ ? [01:56] ne7work, What do you actually want to download? [01:56] gintonic: he installed ubuntu over the top of XP yesterday, now xp won === andrew_ is now known as Guest32633 [01:57] heh, won't boot. [01:57] XP won, lol [01:57] Jordan_U, thanks! :D was heading to bed, and didnt feel like reading a blog, so will have espeack red it for me :P [01:57] S ois there anyway to uninstall === Guest32633 is now known as Slipperychicken === Slipperychicken is now known as SlipperyChicken [01:57] rqiaoo: you need to REinstall windows [01:58] i have a hard drive question [01:58] word. [01:58] gintonic: understand, that heh I typed was because I accidently hit enter instead of ' [01:58] just download http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-13.0/slackware/ help please ? [01:58] I need just download http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-13.0/slackware/ help please ? [01:58] ne7work: this is offtopic but http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-13.0-iso/ [01:58] Jordan_U, how to i control the speed of it speaking? [01:58] let the slackware community know we helped you :) [01:58] skaalid: what is it? [01:59] Hi, I was trying to follow this tutorial to fix the MBR: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [01:59] Maybe he wants to mirror that slackware repo [01:59] ne7work, ask in ##slackware [01:59] ZykoticK9, there all ignore me [01:59] Bodsda: if home dirs give him no more abilities then i could just restrict his access like your suggestion of a "backup dir". [01:59] But, it says boot into live CD, sudo grub. Booted 9.10 and brought up the terminal and got "sudo: grub: command not found." [02:00] i only need to download this directory http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-13.0/slackware/ with all files please someone help me :( [02:00] where is the package for Java SE Runtime Environment 6u20? [02:00] Jordan_U, indeed that seems to have worked... streight into 1.5 and booted my normal 9.10 without flash drive inserted.. many thanks [02:00] puff: What version of Ubuntu do you have currently? [02:00] ne7work: that directory has many more dir inside it. you will need to download then separately [02:01] ne7work, if you know how to download torrents http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php [02:01] Flannel: Used to have, hm, 9.04, I think. [02:01] i have installed and uninstalled a few things from my 250gb hard drive, and have done a re install and know i have 189gb [02:01] ne7work, Use wget with recursive downloading [02:01] Jordan_U, thanks :D used the MAN pages [02:01] Flannel: My brother formatted the ubuntu partition with some windows tool. [02:01] Gnight all! [02:01] ne7work: use wget http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/wget/wget_31.html [02:01] puff: Alright, 9.04 uses GRUB version 1, 9.10 uses GRUB version 2, so you'll need to get a 9.04 or earlier version to reinstall GRUB (version 1) [02:01] Flannel: And now grub gives me "Error 22". [02:02] Flannel: Ah, I have an 8.10 LTS disk. [02:02] puff: That'll work [02:02] Cool. [02:02] puff: 8.04 is LTS, 8.10 isn't, but either will work [02:02] I also downloaded and burned Super Grub Disk, but apparently the burn failed. [02:03] Flannel: right, 8.0.4 (just dug it up). [02:03] Hey [02:03] I get this message [02:03] installArchives() failed: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [02:03] Hello. I am trying to set up xcompmgr with LXDE/openbox and Docky, but need to tweak the opacity/transparency setting - any guidance would be appreciated. [02:03] I'm using Lucid Lynx [02:04] Yoshario: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks [02:04] Yoshario: you have add/remove open, or Synaptic?? === The is now known as Guest23562 [02:05] Hello. I am trying to set up xcompmgr with LXDE/openbox and Docky, but need to tweak the opacity/transparency setting - any guidance would be appreciated. [02:06] Hey everybody. Does anybody have experience with Motion and working with the pan/tilt? === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [02:07] I just noticed that if I rename a PNG file to have a .gif extension, nautilus misidentifies the file as a GIF file [02:07] Hello! how can i easily open a ftp server on my pc so a friend can download a biig file from me? [02:07] anyone here use xcompmgr? [02:07] IdleOne: I have located the package in Jaunty that controls mouse behavior. How can I replace the package that 9.10 uses with the package that Jaunty uses? [02:07] b0w: it's probably easier for them to copy it by scp [02:08] or anyone for that matter. I didn't mean to violate the don't ask specific users questions guideline [02:08] b0w: The easiest way to do it is to use sftp (which actually runs over ssh), so install openssh-server, forward port 22 on your router, and have him connect (make a useraccount for him too, if he doesn't have one yet) === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [02:08] b0w: probably easiest to use sshd [02:08] 420chan [02:09] Anyone here using LXDE? [02:09] ok, thanks all for your help i will read about em and then decide, thanks for the advice! [02:09] is it possible to do an upgrade via a cd/dvd of ubuntu? [02:10] mylisto: Yeah, the alternate CD (not the desktop one) or the DVD [02:10] flannel: I'm worried about my laptop shutting down, not sure why it happens...only happens once in a while... [02:10] could this be fatal during the upgrade? [02:11] mylisto: Certainly not fatal, it would just require you to come back and complete the upgrade manually, with the slight possibility of having a package or two you need to poke at a little afterwards [02:12] also flannel: I'm using 8.04, can I upgrade to 9.10 right away..or does it have to be incremental still? [02:12] mylisto: Once 10.04 comes out (this week) you can upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04 (LTS to LTS), but you cant upgrade straight from 8.04 to 9.10 [02:13] do you think I should just wait for 10.04? [02:13] my main issue for wanting to upgrade is that I'm over the sound issues with 8.04 [02:13] I tested my usb headset with a live 9.10 and the sound is cherry! [02:14] mylisto: I'd wait, yeah. Can you live a week? It's easier to upgrade once than to upgrade three/four times [02:14] and what is lts? [02:14] the upgrade is pretty much automatic isn't it? [02:14] LTS is Long Term Support, 6.06, 8.04, and soon 10.04 are LTS releases, supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server (opposed to 18 months) [02:15] mylisto: Yeah, you'll get a notification in update-manager, asking if you want to upgrade [02:16] Majora_: sorry I was afk for a bit. Ok you need to download the package from packages.ubuntu.com save it to your desktop. then remove the existing package but note it's name (in case you need to re-install it) then double click on the .deb file you saved to your desktop and that will start the install of that package [02:16] I'm probably going to upgrade to 9.04 for now, then upgrade to 10 when it comes out [02:17] Upgrade to 10.04 RC now [02:17] Hey guys, I can't seem to access my Windows XP printer from Ubuntu using Samba. I can, however, see my windows XP machine, but not the printer that's connected to it. Any ideas? [02:17] Flannel: Argh... okay, so booted up 8.0.4 and did sudo grub, then find /boot/grub/stage1, got "Error 15: File not found" [02:17] Majora_: note that this may or may not work, could be dependency issues. [02:17] IdleOne: Thank you so much for your help. How do I uninstall a package? The option is grayed out in Synaptic Package Manager [02:18] Majora_: what is the package name? [02:18] puff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows has a few ways, and some troubleshooting info [02:18] IdleOne Oh. What is a dependency issue? And I'm somewhat confident this is the issue, as the package that controls the mouse also uses a different package that is a library. I think something was changed in the mouse library package in Karmic that differs from Jaunty's [02:19] IdleOne: gpm and libgpm2 [02:19] also flannel: I came across this "Using packages from repositories not controlled by Ubuntu is not recommended as it can be a security risk and may break or complicate your upgrade. If you have used EasyUbuntu or Automatix (neither of which is recommended nor supported), you may have problems upgrading to a newer version and may require a fresh install. If you have installed software from other sources, the upgrade may go more smooth [02:19] ly if you remove this software before attempting the upgrad" [02:19] mylisto: Did you use one of those? [02:19] Majora_: dependendies are files that are required by other packages. i.e file1 /needs/ file2 or it won't install [02:20] easyubuntu or automatix? [02:20] mylisto: Aye [02:20] Are they talking about packages as in certain programs? [02:20] Or "ultimatix" [02:20] IdleOne: Oh. So libgpm2 would be a dependency for gpm [02:20] I didn't use either of those [02:20] Majora_: right now in Synaptic does gpm have a green box next to it? [02:20] mylisto: What are you concerned with about that paragraph? [02:21] IdleOne: No [02:21] Flannel: I thought they meant any programs that were not supported in the rep's [02:21] Nevermind, it works now :) [02:21] mylisto: That's also a concern, yeah, what have you installed from third parties? [02:21] IdleOne: The box is unchecked and white [02:21] Majora_: I would try installing that before removing libgpm2 [02:22] Majora_: so install gpm and also leave libgpm2 installed and try your game [02:22] off the top of my head...hmm...hard to remember [02:22] IdleOne: Ah. I'm using Intrepid right now, so I should check Karmic to see if that's green or not. [02:22] Majora_: yes :) [02:22] mylisto: Then I wouldn't worry about it, the upgrade process will look at those and sort them out in most cases [02:22] cool [02:24] IdleOne: Okay, thank you so much. I really really appreciate it :). [02:24] Majora_: don't thank me yet :) [02:25] and one last question (methinks :D ), the upgrade via the alternate cd should be much faster, right? [02:25] IdleOne: If enabling gpm in Karmic doesn't solve the problem is it safe to say that my next step should be to replace libgpm2 in Karmic with the file used in Jaunty? [02:25] Majora_: worth a try yes [02:25] IdleOne Okay. Thanks :) [02:27] IdleOne: Do I need to restart my machine in order for the changes inacted by newly installed packages to take effect? [02:27] no [02:27] Okay. Thanks again XD [02:27] Hello after installing some updates, I'm getting very slow download speed while downloading from apt-get / synaptic, I also changed source server, and selected best server, but speed is still in Bytes Per Second, while downloading from browser gives me normal speed (Karmic Koala i386) === jesse__ is now known as Flare-Laptop [02:28] ls [02:28] .. [02:28] can someone help me with this please? i have been trying to install ogre3d for like 6 hours [02:29] i used about 3 different methods [02:29] bash script, compile from source and DL [02:29] any install process that takes longer than 4 hours should be abandoned. its in a man page somewhere [02:29] but when i try to compile an example app out of my programming book - it underlines the includes [02:29] exit [02:29] kkb110_: You want /userlist ? [02:30] hi people [02:30] Well, here's one I bet you don't see to often...I seem to have lost my "rm" command. [02:31] k0ala needs help, but I can't help him by myself [02:31] please, read this: http://pastebin.com/eHfhb5T3 [02:31] lostinspace_46: That is a good one, uhm, terminal tabs? [02:32] I'm running mencoder and getting an error like here... http://pastebin.com/49tpncYk Am I missing a package or something? I think it worked before. [02:32] k0ala, explain what your problem is [02:32] Vigo I don't follow. [02:33] Lostinspace_46: Wow. You lost rm? How did that happen? You can... use shred? :P [02:33] Help, I lost my Nautilus's "Up Button" after update. [02:33] how do i tell linux to limit its connection speed for all traffic without using an outside device? [02:33] Lostinspace_42: That is a Terminal call, are you using Tabs in the Terminal?

[03:08] if it runs fine, then it's an OS-related problem [03:09] i think i wont install ubuntu then.. maybe i will try mint [03:09] k0ala: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html [03:09] if not, then you have a hardware problem [03:09] k0ala, there's no need to reinstall [03:10] pepee: what's k0ala trying to do?

[03:13] robertzaccour you can change the themes by going to applications then appearance [03:13] OK I have googled and forumed to no avail. Evidently I am the first person ever to lose their "rm" command (go figure). Possibly I could fix it if I knew what pkg held the command lines. "rm" seems to be the only lost command...sigh. [03:13] scdunizi, i installed flashplugin-nonfree i think. which is better? [03:13] k0ala, try testing your modules on another machine, and other modules on your motherboard [03:13] scdunizi, i installed flashplugin-nonfree. [03:14] pepee, this one is ddr1 :( [03:14] i have only one board [03:14] other are laptops [03:14] CkhiKuzad: flashplugin-nonfree or the one direct from adobe.. but you can't run 2 at the same time.

[03:15] seeing the fact that fp-nf sucks with my system, i will try installing the adobe one, thanks scunizi (i think i have the adobe one on debian and windows anyway) [03:15] dark-knight, i don't see a color selector. i want dark black instead of charcoal [03:16] scunizi, how do i confirm that [03:16] k0ala, run all the tests [03:16] CkhiKuzad: make sure you uninstall the other before installing the new [03:16] scunizi, there's nothing in the logs [03:16] i just did that, scunizi. thanks though [03:16] hi all - looking to dual boot win 7 and ubuntu lucid on my dell mini 9 - used to be easy before, but now GParted will not recognize the windows partition....Any ideas? [03:16] robertzaccour their isn't a color selector as far as i know, but if you click on the style it will change the color, you can also download different themes from xfce look [03:17] scunizi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/422491/ <- X server logs from k0ala's machine [03:17] k0ala: sorry, I've no idea.. pepee might have to look in the x.org logs.

[03:19] the-dude, linux is the kernel [03:19] pepee: looks like the initialization fell back to the vesa driver and didn't implement the intel driver.. I could be wrong but I saw a couple of lines showing that.

[03:38] Lostinspace_46, what does command return? type -a rm [03:38] Lostinspace_46: what happens if you just type "rm"?

[03:43] greezmunkey, that's not his problem - it's a bad alias [03:43] Well that would explain the strange error msg' [03:43] unop: agreed [03:43] and check ~/.bash_aliases to see if that line is entered there so it doesn't reappear on the next boot [03:45] Lostinspace_46, you'll need to ensure that this alias is removed/corrected in your bash startup files (like pat5star said) - although the alias could be defined in any of your ~/.bash* files === ShazbotMcMurder is now known as ShazbotMcNasty === letalis_ is now known as letalis [03:47] unop That fixed it.

[04:04] I do use it. But it's just not working. I'm trying to do box plots on it and they don't show up. [04:04] clippy?

[04:05] No. Either way my math teacher said we need to use it for a plugin that we need next term.

Zoloft?...Ambian? nah, couldn't be any of that. Any way, it's fixed, and Kudos to unop. [04:07] also, I have two silly questions: Is the beta not available to everyone? and is BitchX still around? I couldn't find a recent source code. [04:07] chilli0: you can also try lotus office or softmaker office [04:07] tru synaptics [04:08] ttmontoya: so it installed but when you start the program that error you mentioned shows up? [04:08] pepee: you found a way? [04:08] Suit_Of_Sables: BitchX is unmaintained (and not in the repositories because of it). And the beta has become an RC, and yes, they're open to everyone. [04:08] Suit_Of_Sables: bitchx is an abondoned project [04:08] yes it dont even open [04:08] juken, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170 [04:08] juken, try comàt-wireless [04:08] pepee: I know, I've been trying that for a couple hours =/ [04:09] what irc client would you guys suggest? Epic? I am using the gnome irc right now [04:09] juken, ahh [04:09] Suit_Of_Sables: irssi :) [04:09] Suit_Of_Sables: irssi [04:09] Suit_Of_Sables: for a gui version, xchat [04:09] did you do a reboot after installing the driver? [04:09] pepee: yea [04:10] ttmontoya: most likely something happened on install.. tell synaptic to reinstall and try again.. if the same error comes up you might check on #vbox for a more detailed answer.. personally I use the version from their site. [04:10] pepee: I see the driver installed with lsmod, but still not showing a wireless interface [04:10] nothing beats a screen irssi, finch, ssh session. === don is now known as Guest27659 [04:10] juken, well, compat-wireless never worked for me lol [04:10] :P [04:10] ok Thanks [04:10] installing a driver generally does not require a reboot [04:10] that's windows/microsoft thinking [04:10] pepee: better to use the version from the site if i rember the one in the repos had a bug making it not work [04:10] but i'm not using that adapter [04:11] gogeta, in fact, I dl it from the site... [04:11] I set my xorg.conf file to mode 1280x1024 and restarted X, but the screen resize & rotate manager only alows me to go up to 1024x768 what other file might hold the display config? [04:11] pepee, i did the memtest [04:11] pepee, no errors [04:11] Out_Cold: no knothing beat a screen in framebuffer mode playing a video in bash [04:11] anyway, now I'm using wireless-backports [04:12] k0ala, try again, a couple hours [04:12] gogeta: i've used mplayer but still kind of X.. never straight bash [04:12] nsadmin: certainly not, I ran make unload, the modprobe ar9170, but still the interface isn't here =/ [04:12] * wireless-backports (in lucid) [04:12] Out_Cold: heh === Guest27659 is now known as Don_jr [04:13] gogeta: 100 solutions to 1 problem ;) [04:13] how do i reset the xfce panel? [04:13] k0ala, also, test the filesystem from the live cd [04:13] doh [04:13] Is there any place that outlines the end of support for a version of Ubuntu? As in if updates how long updates still be downloadable, even if no new updates are put out. [04:13] Out_Cold: yea i wowed a server user he had no vlue bash was that powerfull [04:13] idea [04:14] hey anyone knows about a good IDE for Php? [04:14] i am new to ubuntu as well as linux so any app suggestions would be great. command line or gui. any browsers not quite as obese as firefox? [04:14] Suit_Of_Sables: elinks ;) [04:14] Suit_Of_Sables, midori [04:14] links2 :D [04:14] depends on what you require [04:15] if you don't require anything, you can use any browser [04:15] Suit_Of_Sables: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsers [04:15] Suit of Sables.. try google chrome instead of firefox [04:16] Suit_Of_Sables: cli brower w3m.. it's already installed. lynx, elink etc. :) for the gui arora (I think) .. open synaptic and search for browser .. [04:16] Suit_Of_Sables, old/slow machine? [04:16] kazehakase is both light and fast too [04:16] I have set my display mode in xorg.conf and restarted x, but the display once I log back in is still the same, what other file might be controlling the display mode? [04:16] Suit_Of_Sables: what did you use before? [04:16] oh I had chrome in OSX and liked it a lot. there is a linux version? I am kind of a tab whore when I browse. [04:17] !chrome [04:17] opera... [04:17] !chromium [04:17] You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [04:17] Suit_Of_Sables: if you do a quick search on google you'll see there's a linux version of chrome [04:17] is the best browser :) [04:17] Suit_Of_Sables: chromium will be incluided in the lucid repositories [04:17] Suit_Of_Sables: www.google.com/chrome [04:17] daily isn't good, beta is better, and the one from google is the best for average people i'd say [04:17] psycho_oreos: is not better to get chromium from teh beta, noot the daily, PPA ¿¿ [04:18] "daily isnt good" is your opinion.. [04:18] xangua, that made no sense [04:18] daily builds can break frequently.. flash espicially [04:18] kyubutsu: for an average user that would otherwise use the firefox included with ubuntu? we're talking stable here. don't be silly. [04:18] psycho_oreos: ¿¿ [04:18] I need help configuring the `Grid` plugin for Compiz to emulate the Win 7 snap feature. [04:19] !compiz | crucialhoax [04:19] crucialhoax: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [04:19] xangua, it means I didn't understand what you are trying to say [04:19] anyone able to help with my xorg problem? [04:19] chelz: you're talking about using betas .. how stable you really want to be [04:20] Don_jr, use xrandr [04:20] does xfce use xorg? I"m a bit new myself, maybe there's another file I need to alter? [04:20] xrandr won't make it permanant will it? pepee? [04:20] Don_jr, btw xorg.conf is not needed [04:20] it will revert when I restart? [04:20] nick Cylon_down [04:20] kyubutsu: as stable as possible. on the stable scale, daily is much worse than either the beta ppa or the chrome release from google. [04:20] oh....that's new by me, sorry [04:20] oops [04:20] Don_jr, nope, is not permanent [04:21] if xorg.conf isn't needed now, then how do I set up my display properly and permanantly? [04:21] Don_jr: what graphics card do you have? [04:21] Don_jr, but you can add a line in your ~./.bashrc [04:21] crucialhoax: With compiz 0.8, you can only use keyboard bindings with grid. For a quick hack, try this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/aero-snap-ubuntu-linux.html [04:21] scunizi it's not the card that's the problem, it's the monitor, I have the proper nvidia drivers already and with my other monitor, things work perfect [04:22] Don_jr, don't know, that's what I've tried to do LOL [04:22] soon as I plug in this LCD it slips back [04:22] soreau: that tut has a glitch in it. It will snap even if the mouse goes into the predefined areas. quite annoying. [04:23] is there any realtime scanning AV for ubuntu that scans all files you download from the net [04:23] Don_jr: other monitor? run sudo nvidia-settings to set the monitor and there will be an option to save to xorg.conf.. then it will be perminent [04:23] I installed Beta 2 and updated today with 400 or so updates.Am i running the RC now?.How can i check it? [04:23] crucialhoax: In compiz/grid 0.9 it is implemented [04:23] ace2: yes you are; for lucid go to #ubuntu+1 [04:23] !av > ohodi [04:23] ohodi, please see my private message [04:23] ohodi, clam av? [04:24] scunizi the monitor isn't recognized I have to manually add in refresh rates [04:24] pepee, clam does that? [04:24] Thanks [04:24] ohodi, I suppose, but I really don't know [04:24] ohodi: you might have to setup something special, but you can with inotify watching programs [04:24] soreau: Ok, how do I know which version I have installed lol [04:24] soreau: synaptic? [04:24] chelz, what? [04:25] Don_jr: ah.. ok.. 2 ways to do that .. one in xorg.conf (which will override xrandr).. or with xrandr (without options in xorg.conf) [04:25] crucialhoax: You have 0.8.x, probably 0.8.4. Try compiz --version [04:25] ohodi: inotify is a way to trigger something when files change [04:25] !xrandr | Don_jr [04:25] Don_jr: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:25] ohodi: there are linux version of some proprietary AV suites, like AVG for one [04:25] Don_jr: it's not just for dual screens [04:25] crucialhoax: and compiz-0.9 isn't released yet, also it's a development version [04:25] I'm not trying to run dual screens, but I am reading up on xrandr now [04:25] soreau: 0.8.4, correct. [04:25] chelz, thanks [04:25] soreau: No big deal, I will wait :) thank you. [04:26] how big is ubuntu repo? [04:26] big means its size. [04:27] Avasz: huge.. 40,000 packages apx [04:27] a couple hundred gigas? [04:27] Avasz: about 30 gigabytes [04:27] a tera? [04:27] couple hundred gigs... [04:27] eh no [04:27] who is right? [04:27] per distro it's around 28GiB [04:27] Its like 36 gigs [04:27] erm release rather [04:27] oh.. [04:27] even xrandr shows the max it'll let me do is 1024x768 [04:27] ok [04:27] ahh [04:28] well, I'm gonna make my own repo hehe [04:28] you can buy a copy of the ubuntu repos on 6 DVDs. which means 28.2 GiB max [04:28] Don_jr: then what you have to do is add the rez you need to xrandr's files.. using xrandr commands. [04:28] i have no idea where other people are getting their info [04:28] 6 dvdx [04:28] so what do i do if i new softwares are updated? [04:28] chelz, we mirror it so thats where I get my info [04:28] hi [04:28] scunizi alright, use to have to do that with xorg.conf man linux has changed over the last year lol [04:28] how do i get them updated in my server? [04:28] question, how can i erase what has been installed on my hard drive? [04:28] Avasz, sudo apt-get upgrade [04:28] xD [04:29] will it upgrade the repos in server? [04:29] hey guys, anyone having issue with kernel freezes on fast data transfer speeds(over 10MB/s) [04:29] Don_jr: hugely with video settings. [04:29] nah, you have to build a mirror [04:29] oh.. [04:29] skaalid: format the partition? [04:29] pure_hate: interesting. i wonder if that figure includes ISOs along with say karmic updates [04:29] i just installed a gigabit network card in a server of mine, and the server crashes once i get over 50MB/s for over 10 seconds [04:29] Avasz: look into apt-mirror to make your own mirror of repos [04:29] scunizi alright, more to learn again, I"m digging for how to add the refresh rates and resolutions into xrandr now [04:29] trying to find them to read at least lol [04:29] Avasz: http://popey.com/blog/2006/10/24/Creating_an_Ubuntu_repository_mirror_with_apt-mirror/ [04:30] Avasz, and rsync' it [04:30] Avasz: http://www.google.com/search?q=mirror+ubuntu+repos [04:30] chelz, we mirror the 8.10 repo only so I cant say for any others although the 36 gigs also includes the backtrack packages so 28 sounds about right [04:30] hi [04:30] ok.. tks [04:30] ohodi: clamav works for almost all uses since there aren't really viruses targeting linux. usually linux machines do scanning email like stuff for Windows machines [04:30] hi [04:31] chelz, thats a flat out lie [04:31] pure_hate: oh huh, why 8.10 might i ask? why not an LTS? [04:31] chelz, At the time thats what worked best for us [04:31] or... i mean that's not true [04:31] you've been misinformed [04:31] ohodi: what sources do you go by? [04:32] w 10 [04:32] chelz, experience [04:32] chelz, ask pure_hate ;) [04:32] skaalid: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [04:32] take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:32] i feel like reading support questions here [04:33] pure_hate: are you upgrading before the EOL on the 29th? or after? [04:33] hi [04:33] Don_jr: check this one out.. http://www.linuxreaders.com/tag/xrandr/ [04:33] hi [04:33] thanks [04:33] chelz, I work on the backtrack distro, we only recently adopted ubuntu as a base.

[04:41] hola compañeros [04:41] you never know.. maybe he got the bot on /ignore [04:41] pure_hate: so is the recommended usage scenario to use backtrack as a liveusb rather than a livedvd so updates can be installed permanently? [04:41] necesito ayuda para trabajar con ice [04:41] haaay, hola [04:41] I can't figure out how to ask apt to use the dotdeb package. [04:41] haaay, me lees? [04:41] si [04:41] i was going to ask for a little more advice sorry, i will read on. [04:41] pepee [04:42] haaay, hace esto: escribe: /join #ubuntu-es [04:42] luego apreta enter [04:42] So, how do I ask apt to install a package from a specific repo? [04:42] Kamilion: what do you want to install¿ [04:43] IdleOne : Unfortunately I tried what we talked about and even tried replacing other seemingly relevant packages with those used in Jaunty, but it didn't work [04:43] xangua: php5-common from dotdeb, but it wants to install php5-common from ubuntu cause it's slightly newer. [04:43] Kamilion: did you download the .deb package? if so you might need to sudo chmod +x then just double click it and the package manager will take over from there. [04:43] Kamilion, download the package and its dependencies from the repo [04:43] Nope, just following the instructions -- said to add the repo and apt-get. [04:44] and use dpkg -i *.deb [04:44] Majora2: :( sorry [04:44] okay, so I gotta dpkg -i it? [04:44] Kamilion: what's the diference between those two¿ [04:44] Kamilion, don't add external repos, is not a good thing... [04:44] IdleOne: It's okay. Thanks a bunch for trying to help though, I appreciate it :). [04:44] Majora2: report a bug on launchpad.net or add yourself to it as affected if there is one already [04:44] Kamilion, apt-get install package=version [04:44] Kamilion: why do you want an older version..? you have something that depends on it? if not then get the one from ubuntu repo [04:44] xangua: dotdeb's has php5-fpm support. [04:44] pepee: thank you :) [04:45] ubuntu's doesn't have php5-fpm fastcgi support for nginx. [04:45] IdleOne, ? [04:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/397721 [04:45] pepee: for helping haaay [04:45] ahh ok hehee [04:46] scunizi: They're both the same version -- but there's some patches missing or disabled in the ubuntu build. Mainly php5-fpm -- spawn-fcgi's been crashing on me. [04:46] Kamilion, You can use php over fastcgi without any extra packages besides php-cgi [04:46] Kamilion, Install the version you want and then edit /etc/apt/preferences to keep that version from being updated [04:46] ah, if spawn-fcgi has been crashing though [04:47] ckwalsh: spawn-fcgi breaks when nginx has mutiple workers. [04:47] if anyone knows who i am, or if you've ever seen the millertimek1a2m3 id before, speak up [04:47] Kamilion: you can download the source from ubuntu's repo and compile it with the xtras you need.. (easy for me to say / but not do) [04:47] I have a 9.0.4 server with fastcgi and multiple workers that seems to do fine [04:47] Kamilion, try this: sudo apt-get install = [04:48] scunizi: I know -- the dotdeb ubuntu package is supposed to be just that. [04:48] !tracker [04:48] Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) [04:48] Kamilion: did you download their deb? try double clicking it [04:48] !whois millertimek1a2m3 [04:48] Grr. 9.04, not 9.0.4 [04:49] this is a server, I'm stuck with aptitude and apt-get. [04:49] my bluetooth icon is missing from notification area, i restarted bluetooth and checked the always shol in bt prefs but its still not there [04:49] okay, then I'll go play with curl and dpkg. [04:49] Could it actually be a bug with nginx? [04:49] Kamilion: dpkg -i [04:49] Kamilion: sudo dpkg -i [04:49] Kamilion, no wget? [04:50] ckwalsh: It's not a bug in nginx, it's a flaw in spawn-fcgi, not being able to handle multiple workers trying to call it. php5-fpm fixes this and is in php-core, but will not be enabled for ubuntu until php 5.4. [04:50] Kamilion, make sure you pin it like I told you or it will get updated [04:51] Kamilion: w3m, elinks, elink2 all cli browsers.. find the link with that and use wget to download .. then sudo dpkg -i [04:51] pure_hate, that can be made in aptitude, too [04:51] Kamilion: you can pin something easily in synaptic by finding it and setting Lock on it in one of the upper left menus [04:51] Sorry, I don't keep wget installed on my servers. Already have the curl libs so I'll use that. [04:51] Chelz: How do I use synaptic on a headless rackspace server with 256MB of ram? :) [04:52] by searching for the package, and pressing "=" [04:52] See I just learned you can pin in synaptic :-) [04:52] Kamilion: oh.. heh. well x forwarding, and i'm sure you could use sshfs and symlinks to get a local synaptic to interact with your apt on it, but yeah /etc/preferences would be better. i'm sure there's a way to do it in aptitude though but i have no idea how [04:52] I don't wanna go install freenx just to use synaptic :( [04:52] does anyone know if its possible to restart alsa in 10.04 [04:53] Kamilion: you don't .. but aptitude you can. of course you mentioned that I believe.. [04:53] then you can edit /etc/apt/prferences [04:53] !lucid > GSF1200S [04:53] GSF1200S, please see my private message [04:54] chelz: The problem with x-over-ssh: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/cp3MGJdQ [04:54] Kamilion, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html Section 3.10 [04:54] Kamilion, you don't need the X... [04:54] man aptitude [04:55] Aptitude sucks to deal with from putty. [04:55] mouseclicks freak it out. [04:55] ahh hehe [04:55] Kamilion: eh yeah depending on the server 182MB might be heavy [04:55] you don't need the mouse [04:55] Kamilion: you don't have a linux box outside of the servers? [04:55] sounds like a misconfiguration on putty's part [04:56] I don't need aptitude either if it gets in the way. apt-get works fine. [04:56] Kamilion: you could do andLinux / coLinux if you're on Windows. or use Virtualbox with ubuntu on either Windows on Mac OS X [04:56] scunizi: I do. But I'm at home on my win7 box. [04:56] Colinux doesn't like win7. [04:56] And this is a single core without hardware virt, so virtualbox is out. [04:56] hi, i would like a certain non-priv user to be allowed to execute a certian program. How do i do that? [04:56] Kamilion, I mean, to hold package versions, you can use aptitude [04:56] wookienz, visudo [04:56] Kamilion: ah.. I see. I use virtualbox in those circumstances [04:57] funny you mention colinux -- I used to be a developer for that project. [04:57] @Kamilion: Virtualbox runs ubuntu fine in win7 [04:57] Virtualbox needs hardware virt support. [04:57] Kamilion: vbox ran fine on my P4 single core that was 4 years old [04:57] My 3800+ lacks said support. [04:57] scunizi: Older versions of vbox, yes, the ones that still were based on the qemu codebase. [04:58] pure_hate: thanks [04:58] Kamilion: didn't realize that.. their site does have older versions available. [04:58] Ahh, I only use it for testing comparing different distros [04:58] Kamilion: i've never used colinux but it always seemed like a nifty idea. i've been thinking in the last few weeks about looking into something like it to run distros on other distros like coLinux using the new linux containers LXC [04:58] they dropped most support for pure software emulation in vbox 3.x [04:58] vmware player works though [04:59] Kamilion: yea.. I've used that too. [04:59] but it's slooooooow. [04:59] Anyway. Trying package=version [04:59] Anyone else have problems with the flash plugin causing random browser freezes? [05:00] Im currently using DSL on a 7 year old pentium 4 === saint_ is now known as Sa[i]nT [05:02] there is xchat and gnome xchat. what is the difference? [05:02] renegaid_: different interface. i suggest installing both and seeing which you prefer. [05:02] renegaid_: gnome xchat is more 'simple' [05:02] renegaid_: save headaches.. just use xchat.. leave gnome xchat alone [05:03] impressed with the netbook flavor of ubuntu. think i will use it instead [05:03] I prefer Damn small linux on a netbook [05:03] and the gnome is ugly [05:03] renegaid_, real men use irssi :-) [05:04] ** gnome is ugly [05:04] i like it [05:04] @pure_hate: indeed, no clutter whatsoever [05:04] here [05:04] i like how everything is maximized. never liked ubuntu desktop but the netbook flavor works well [05:05] I like kde [05:05] but I think it will never be stable lol [05:05] there is a kde desktop remix? [05:05] i find kde to be slow [05:05] no idea [05:05] tooheavy [05:05] yeah... [05:06] using openbox now [05:06] openbox works perfectly on my desktop and my netbook [05:06] In compiling e17 [05:06] I'm* [05:06] :P [05:06] eww [05:06] also checked out fvwm in backtrack4, love it, but a pain to configure [05:08] whats the shortcut to leave gnome/X and drop to terminal? [05:08] @d4rk: Have you ever tried CrunchBang? [05:08] ctrl - alt f2 [05:08] Fiveways: !tty ? [05:08] i deman hot pockets [05:08] Fiveways: ctrl+alt+F2 .. but that doesn't stop x or the gui.. sudo service gdm stop for that [05:09] ya, using it now [05:09] If I connect to and ftp server with nautilus, is there a way to get to the files through the command line (is the remote site mounted somwhere) [05:09] only system i use @ this point [05:09] I have it on my desktop, its amazing. [05:09] dabaR, Just connect to the ftp via the termial. problem solved [05:10] came over here to ask is anyone is using motion-motion webcam software [05:10] @kip: they just came out with a new one [05:10] 9.04? That's the one im running [05:11] nope, statler, still in alpha [05:11] they switched to straight debian [05:11] I'll check it out, but I prefer to run stable releases [05:11] agreed [05:12] does ubuntu hate sli motherboards? :) [05:12] hi. i just installed 10.04, how do i add sun java to my repositories? [05:12] I don't want an unstable distro to remind me of the windows boxes at school [05:12] Fiveways: what's happening? [05:12] haha, exactly! [05:12] pure_hate: I want to edit the files with vim. Is that possible if I connect through the terminal as you suggest? [05:12] gonna call it, laterz.. [05:13] I've never used windows on any of my personal boxes [05:13] linda: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here [05:13] dabaR, if vim is installed on the remote system. ssh would be much easier. You can also GET the files and then edit them locally and the PUT the files back on the server [05:13] pure_hate: I would like to avoid those steps, and do not have ssh access to the other computer. [05:13] Is there a way to pull what laptop I have (ie hp dv97xxxxx)? [05:14] My sticker on the screen says dv9000 under it says 9700 [05:14] hatebred: you mean find out info on it? sudo lshw [05:14] pure_hate: do you happen to know for a fact that things don't get mounted? [05:14] Ill try.. thanks [05:14] these remote connections. [05:14] bleh, needed an old version of libltd14, all lucid has is libltd17. Stupid mcrypt support. [05:15] Guess I gotta build my own packages. [05:15] dabaR, I am not that familer with nautalis, I am more of a command line kinda guy. sorry [05:15] Kamilion: sounds like you're in dependancy hell [05:15] yep, so I just backed out and went back to spawn-fcgi for now. [05:15] pure_hate, - how it goes [05:15] I'll just set up a cron job to restart it. [05:16] Thanks scunizi .... comes back to the label on the bottom [05:16] Probably wouldn't have been an issue if I didn't rebuilt this thing on lucid last week. [05:16] ok so i am about to start a software raid, any advice before i start? should i do mdadm or lvm? [05:17] Ah well, I'll wait till after lucid hits then try again. [05:17] @Kamilion: Did you say that you worked as a devoloper for coLinux? [05:17] Long ago, yes. [05:17] pure_hate: do you know whether you can mount things over ftp, like you can over smb? [05:18] scunizi , Can I msg you, I have a done alot of reasearch, but still hae an issue [05:18] Impressive, I've never undertook a task that large. us sophmores don't have the time [05:18] dabar: try sshfs [05:19] scunizi as you can see part of it is keys not working [05:19] hatebred: just tell it here.. others maybe able to help too [05:19] Ok [05:19] dabaR, not that I am aware of [05:19] does an GUI on-access (real-time) AV scanner for Ubuntu exist? [05:19] ohodi: clamav is my best guess [05:20] xOrphenochx, that doesn't seem to have on-access scanning :( [05:20] pure_hate, - what ya doing over here in kiddy land lol bt not busy ? [05:20] pure_hate: thanks again. [05:20] * dabaR wonders whether it is again, or the first time [05:21] xorwhy, , that doesn't seem to have on-access scanning :( [05:21] hiexpo, There are lots of ubuntu gurus in this channel, every one needs help sometimes. [05:21] My laptop (hp dv9700) hit the floor from the bed. I repaired the connector ia radio shack and some solider. some keys stick. Ubuntu no longer picks up wifi quickly. Also when posting, I only hae 1 option for diagnostics log, which no longer contains info [05:21] dabar: Just use nautilus to Connect to Server with a type of SSH not FTP. [05:21] hey guys, I have a customer whos Mac died... ive tried for the life of my to mount it and copy the files to his new computer but I cant seem to. from what ive read I need to disable journaling via a mac system? [05:21] I want to do a bios update [05:21] pure_hate, true [05:22] from the hp site, all I found for a d9700cto is for notebooks with vista using intel [05:22] ohodi: Ah well, at any rate I would use a firewall to monitor network traffic, while trusting non-root user privileges for alerts of code execution [05:22] hatebred: all that for a bios update? depends.. I'm not the one to answer that one.. opefully someone will pick it up [05:22] Kamilion: I don't have ssh access. It's one of those hosting accounts where you have to pay for everything. [05:22] this is a system with amd64 under vista (with a linux part of course_ [05:23] xorwhy, what does that mean? [05:23] The F1 on post would bring up many options... now only 1 [05:23] dabaR: you have ftp? install gftp for better control than with nautilus [05:23] the only update I found was for intel [05:23] I need amd for an hp d9700 [05:23] scunizi: does it mount the ftp site on he file system? [05:23] dabaR, Just use a nice GUI like filezilla or something, I am pretty sure you can edit directly on the server with that [05:24] or gftp like scunizi said [05:24] i need to use vim. [05:24] dabaR: no.. it provides an easy way to move files from point A (your machine) to the other [05:24] I mean, I would like to === bibekpaudel is now known as bibekp [05:24] From the command line too [05:24] Not gvim [05:25] dabaR: do you know vim? if you do then the rest of this should be a piece of cake to figure out.. [05:25] scunizi: why? [05:25] I mean, why should it be a piece of cake? [05:25] !compile [05:25] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:25] ohodi: Basically that monitoring network traffic and data execution can be just as effective, if not more so, than real time virus scanning [05:25] dabaR: vim is one crazy different interface.. you have to live and breath it to learn it.. if you can figure that out .. like I said the rest should be easy [05:26] ohodi: but don't take my word or it, there may be a program with exactly the functionality you're looking for [05:26] scunizi: haha. Still it is easier to ask whether someone knows a simple solution than to go and compile fuseftp [05:26] ;) [05:26] dabaR, Just try it, all this talk and you could have logged in by now and seen if vim works [05:27] pure_hate: logged in how? [05:27] dabaR: gftp I think will allow you to set vim as the default editor.. [05:27] ftp command line [05:27] pure_hate: you can't vim over ftp command line [05:27] Hi. [05:27] it has a set of defined commands, the ftp command line client does... [05:27] Yoda speak, I talk [05:28] can someone tell me how tro drop to console? ctrl+alt+f1 just freezes everything on my screen [05:28] Fiveways, f2 [05:28] or service gdm stop [05:28] not f1 [05:28] Fiveways: try `sudo chvt 1` === cwe_moetz is now known as cwe_goekill [05:29] hello! i got a sftp server up and running but i cant see who is connected to it, when i do finger, w or who i can just see users connected locally, no on the sftp [05:30] b0w: wireshark?

[05:34] no [05:34] Engrish_Man: Firefox does not require gnome, if synaptic is forcing it you can use the source === jamie is now known as Guest18376 [05:34] scunizi: i just installe the X [05:34] and yes synaptic is forcing to install a lot of stuff [05:35] Hey guys, just a question about awn; is there anyway I can limit the awn taskmanager to only show applications which are open in the current workspace? [05:35] how do i add a repository to my sources.list from cli? [05:35] Engrish_Man: I don't recall exactly how I did it, since it was some time since I backed up the results. But my firefox runs out of a directory, with all its dependencies inside that directory. [05:35] Engrish_Man, If you install from source with just a basic xserver running you are going to be in dependecy hell [05:36] azlon: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list, put in repository. [05:37] rww: there isnt a way to add it to the bottom of the list via command line? i really want to make it as easy as possible for my friend to add this repository [05:37] How does a person with the name pure_hate come and give their time to helping others [05:37] echo (name of repo) >> /etc/apt/sources [05:37] azlon: echo "deb http://whatever whatever whatever" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [05:38] xorwhy, You cant judge people by their nicks. === linda is now known as mralexandro [05:41] * dabaR however is humming I love to hate (depeche mode?) you since he got here... === mIrKaT_ is now known as mIrKaT [05:42] that turned out sucky.

[12:36] jrib, sudo fdisk -l shows: /dev/sda1 [12:36] mcl0vin_: so i'm guessing it's autologin for GDM [12:37] AdvoWork: well check for known issue in the release notes and bugs.ubuntu.com, otherwise use the alternate cd. A couple of releases ago there was a bug where you couldn't see the partitions if they were mounted, but if that's not the case here then I'm not aware of other causes [12:39] mcl0vin_: or if you do know more about auto login to NASA that's fine to [12:40] Nasa? watching the shuttle land? :) [12:40] Dr_Willis: well mcl0vin_ seems to know something about NASA i don't know [12:41] does NASA uses ubuntu ?

I'll experiment with those two. [13:07] hy [13:07] dr_willis: do I have to do that in term? remember I am a noobuntu :d [13:07] * mcl0vin_ peeho thanks mate jrib [13:07] Kartagis: i take that when you edited both fstab and menu.lst you checked the uuids of all the paritions (that have surely changed) [13:07] ubuntu: you may want to go read a few bash/terminal guides then.. these are ALL terminal commands [13:07] !terminal | ubuntu [13:07] ubuntu: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:08] hyt [13:08] sorry to be rude but I don't have time to read some guides...I'm just hoping there would be someone who could run me threw this slight problem [13:08] ubuntu: and all this might still not work. So for starters LOOK at the output of the 'mount' command in a terminal [13:08] The laptop is fairly old, it runs on an amd sempron mobile, 1 gig Ram, ATI radeon XPRESS 200M 5955. It does suspend correctly, but when I try to resume I hangs with a black screen. The fan is on. The Hdd light blinks once or twice and that's it. Anyone has any clues as to how to proceed? [13:08] anyone help? [13:08] erUSUL: I replaced all UUIDs with the actual devices ie. /dev/sda1 [13:09] so just type mount dr_willis:? [13:09] ubuntu: 'mount' yes... bash basics. [13:09] Kartagis: ok [13:09] oh sorry about that, did not know that, so the qs is: tokens are like: COMMENT:ENDCOMMENT,TERM:ENDTERM,ETC.How do i separate here the invalid tokens if they are provided so by an user? [13:09] Kartagis: dunno if that still works in ubuntu but it should [13:09] is there a way to auto pastebin stuff? [13:09] erUSUL: now I get "General error mounting filesystems [13:09] !pastebinit [13:09] 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 [13:10] ubuntu: but you have to pass -b http://paste.ubuntu.com to it [13:10] ubuntu: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [13:10] how do i join a channel? [13:10] kunal: /join #channelname [13:10] anyhow, here is my mount results [13:10] http://pastebin.com/x2jCUeph [13:11] ubuntu: beware that it pastebinit doesn't currently work on http://pastebin.com because things have changed on pastebin.com [13:11] ubuntu: so look in the various /media/ directories and see where your installed system is at. [13:11] ubuntu: my guess it its at /media/disk [13:12] erUSUL: do I have any other choice but do a clean reinstall? [13:12] choices* [13:12] Kartagis: the fsck's did not revealed any errors ? [13:12] clean in in washing machine [13:12] media is all the way in root, right? [13:12] lol [13:13] ubuntu the full path is /media/ so yes. / = root. you an type in that path in the file browser address bar if you wanted to [13:13] erUSUL: I didn't get "Filesystem broken" or anything like that, do I still need to run that? [13:13] ubuntu: or use the terminal. --> 'ls /media/disk' [13:15] ok I'm in media/disk right now [13:15] Kartagis: i would boot into a livecd and see if i can mount the filesystems andcheck them with fsck [13:16] yo yo yo [13:16] still having problems installing ubuntu, wont show any partitions so can't go forward [13:16] ubuntu: if its the right place you should see a lot of dirs like 'etc' 'bin' sbin and home.. look in 'home' and see if your users files are in there [13:16] AdvoWork: even on the alternate cd? [13:16] AdvoWork: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? did you run the cd verifier? [13:17] dr_willis: yeah, its the right spot...when I go in home, I have my "mylisto" directory...with a ton of my files in it [13:17] ubuntu: you can tab complete nicks ;) [13:17] ubuntu: and you seriously may want to consider backing up that to some place - incase you need to do a reinstall. [13:18] thats why I got my 500 gig hd (well more like 90 gigs...deleting stuff :D [13:18] How can one disable system shutdown? [13:18] ubuntu: given that your isntalled system is at '/media/disk' you want to do a 'sudo chroot /media/disk' (i think thats proper) [13:18] should I back up everything before I do the rest of this ? [13:19] ubuntu: you should ALWAYS have backups. [13:19] what is chroot - change root? [13:19] ubuntu: change root directory [13:19] chroot - run command or interactive shell with special root directory [13:19] Hi All, I need help with a "No UPnP backend" error, followed by a can't login error.

[13:24] on 29th April come Ubuntu 10.04 ? [13:24] command -H --> -H not valid Try --help for help. :) [13:24] erkan^: thats the theory. [13:24] erkan^: #ubuntu+1 [13:25] It remains tobe proven. :) [13:25] dr_willis: I'm about to back everything up...should I just do the home directory? What about other stuff (proggies, etc) [13:25] ok [13:25] ubuntu: you are thinking in windows terms. You can reinstall the programs from teh package manager rather easially [13:25] yeah, just gonna be a problem when I can't remember what to back up :D [13:26] ok [13:26] ubuntu: i tend to backup my home, and a few files i edit by hand normally in /etc/ [13:27] ubuntu: me also tends to write a script for installing packages i need [13:27] hello again [13:27] I rarely ever edit files... [13:27] theadmin: yep :) but i find i end up installing stuff i rarely ever use over and over. [13:27] ubuntu: so what Do you do exactly? [13:27] dr_willis: is there some kind of term command that can output a list of what programs you have running? [13:27] Dr_Willis: Well, mine basically has VLC and Pidgin :D [13:27] er what programs you have on the computer [13:28] ubuntu: dpkg -l | less [13:28] 'for file in *.rm;do ffmpeg -i "$file" "${file%.rm}.mp3";done' returns error "Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0" [13:28] ubuntu: but it's gonna be huge [13:28] what do I do? try to avoid using windows and osx :D [13:28] erUSUL: I am on LiveCD now. I tried fsck.reiserfs /dev/sda1 and I got Failed to open the device '/dev/sda1': Permission denied [13:28] * mcl0vin_ sudo [13:28] ubuntu: 'running' is not the same as 'installed' If you cant rember what you installed.. i have to wonder if you needed them installed. :) [13:28] !clond | ubuntu [13:28] !clone | ubuntu [13:28] ubuntu: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:29] o_O [13:29] ubuntu: chroot into your system and use the command -->>> aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages [13:29] Kartagis: use sudo [13:29] Kartagis: is reiserfs ? [13:29] so chroot /media/disk then run that term command? [13:29] duh! [13:29] erUSUL: yes [13:30] ubuntu: yes.

[13:30] mcl0vin_: you installed lame ? [13:30] ubuntu: withiut the ~/ will make the file it saves go to whever you are at in the shell at the time. [13:31] ubuntu: it will make a file that lists all teh isntalled packages you have. [13:31] erUSUL: just libmp3lame0 [13:31] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:31] how to find replies to your questions in xchat? [13:32] ubuntu: IF you do that command.. it MIGHT fix the system [13:32] bahaa: try searching for your name with a colon in logs, dunno [13:32] bahaa: kind of a like "bahaa:" [13:32] ubuntu: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [13:32] just did that [13:32] mcl0vin_: try with a single file « ffmpeg -i filename.rm filename.mp3 » [13:32] theadmin: you mean just type ("bahaa:")? [13:33] ubuntu: if it completes ok. You might want to try rebooting and see if it boots up properly then. [13:33] theadmin: I want to search now I mean online [13:33] bahaa: I mean, search for it in logs... That's usually how people mark replies, no? :D I never used xchat [13:33] bahaa: Uh, online? see http://irclogs.ubuntu.com [13:34] erUSUL: fsck didn't find any corruptions on /dev/sda1 [13:34] theadmin: well another Idea is to copy the whole text and search for my name:) (did you mean this way?)

This is useful when you want to show that your Systems are fine for a long time no? [13:34] dr_willis: this is what has been outputed thus far [13:35] http://pastebin.com/YD2qyHG9 [13:35] theadmin: well then how do you mark the whole text :( [13:35] mcl0vin_: ldd $(which ffmpeg) | grep mp3 [13:35] bahaa: Ctrl+A usually.

[16:27] when you upgrade a package, do your configuration changes get clobbered? [16:27] No. [16:27] he ren [16:27] hey Pici why are those bots kicking each other? [16:27] Cugel: so i can safely upgrade apache2, for example and not break anything? [16:28] Vaevictus: if you havent ltered strange or more dificult things, yes [16:28] altered* [16:29] exalt: uh. that doesn't make me feel confident :) [16:29] If you are uncertain, I suggest you test it first. [16:29] all i want to do is upgrade libwwwperl ... and apparently i need to upgrade linux, mysql, apache2, postgre, python, sudo, grub and everything else almost, on a system. [16:29] Cugel: how would i "test" an upgrade? [16:30] Vaevictus: as long as you are using official repositories for your version of ubuntu, it should be fine to upgrade and actually recommended [16:30] On another box or on a virtual image. [16:30] But I suggest just upgrading, indeed. [16:31] jrib: i am. I decided to make this box ubuntu because it's supposed to be easy to maintain, but i'm a bsd kinda guy traditionally. [16:31] so i feel a bit scared about touching everything on the system without my control... on a live webserver with clients on it [16:31] Vaevictus: specially if you are running server softwares like apache2/mysql, good idea to be all patched up with updates :d [16:31] :) [16:32] i'll break things after lunch, i guess :) [16:32] hi all :) [16:32] well why not image it first :) , just incase ;) [16:32] what is the difference between modprobe and modeprobe commands please? [16:33] would 32bit unbutu 9.10 have any odd issues with a windows share that would give me "An error occured; Could not open location; you might not have permission to pen the file." on a 6.4gb 720p video? Permissions should be fine, the same User/pw is connecting from a windows computer and is able to access the file fine [16:33] Pici do you know? [16:33] cc4: the latter doesn't exist? [16:33] Vaevictus: its good to be a little scared [16:33] ok thanks sipior [16:34] I accidentally pressed "ctrl-alt-plus" and it immediately disabled one of my two monitors, and now I can't figure out how to get the second monitor to work again [16:36] Travis-42: ctrl-alt-minus does nothing, i take it? [16:36] sipior: it zooms out or changes resolutions, but it doesnt reenable the monitor [16:37] well, i was able to force my ubuntu server box to eventually mount my nfs shares before any apps that try to access them start, but it feels wrong, as i get errors about the mount failing during startup. I think its apparmor thats calling a mountall which gets called before the wireless network script [16:37] Travis-42: this isn't a CRT, right? [16:37] sipior: nope, two lcds. an nvidia card. Usually extend the desktop across them [16:38] Travis-42: logging out and in again doesn't help? [16:39] How to delete an Extended partition? It says "Extended partition cannot be deleted"..... [16:39] sipior: it might.... there's an application I'm having trouble saving without being able to reenable the other monitor [16:39] Travis-42: also, you might try running the nvidia control utility. [16:39] Why can't an Extended partition be deleted? [16:39] sipior: running the nvidia control utility doesn't help, however [16:39] QueeenZ: it's a container [16:39] QueeenZ: probably because you have several real partitions making use of it :-) [16:39] QueeenZ: so to get rid of an extended partiton, you would have to delete teh partitions inside it [16:40] oh so first i have to delete all partitions inside it and then it will allow me to delete the extended partition? [16:40] QueeenZ: yep, and of course have any data backed up first if there is anything. [16:40] oh ok [16:41] sipior: alright, enough playing with nvidia control panel fixed it. thanks [16:41] QueeenZ: I mean if you delete a partition that has data on it, the partition and the data will go, may be able to recover the data though [16:41] !netsplit [16:41] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [16:41] Travis-42: out of curiosity, what did you have to change? [16:42] QueeenZ: see above for my mesage, if you missed it, since the mini net split [16:42] sebsebseb: saw it, thanks for the info [16:42] sipior: I had to manually disable twinview, and reenable it for the second monitor [16:42] i'm just getting my partitons ready for Lucid [16:42] QueeenZ: oh? [16:43] does anyone here use koha? their channel is essentially empty and i'm having a bug i just can't seem to find a solution from google [16:43] what is the cli alternative to upgrade-manager? upgrade to lucid failed midway and googling with the terminal is too limited. [16:43] sebsebseb: yep, it's such a mess... i have like 10 partitions and most of them i don't need... so i'm trying to organize them.. [16:43] QueeenZ: How so? I mean Karmic or Hardy can be upgraded to Lucid when it's time. Clean installs of Karmic will have Ext4 file system by default, and so on upgrade to Lucid yep. Where as Hardy upgrades will still have Ext3. [16:44] QueeenZ: ah yes partition mess's [16:44] benedikt: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:44] QueeenZ: been there done that a few times [16:44] sebsebseb: yep... i just never really understood the difference between primary, extended and logical partitions.. (shame on me..) [16:45] QueeenZ: I sort of understand it I think, primary main partitions. logical not so important ones. and then the extended is when you have if I remember correctly more than four partitions. [16:45] ChogyDan: ah thanks. I know this, but i forgot it [16:46] sebsebseb: right, extended is just a container, logical goes into that container and primary is without/outside the extended [16:46] QueeenZ: yeah basically I guess [16:47] I have a partition with music, but if I add it to /etc/fstab, rhythmbox segfaults… how do I mount it so it is the same as clicking on the "Places" menu? [16:47] sebsebseb: i hate it when i delete a partition and then i have this unallocated space between partitions and i can't really use them until they're next to each other.. [16:47] NinoScript: it should add itself, when you open, but if not may have to mess around with permission, or fstab [16:48] QueeenZ: what I tend to get is well a tiny bit of unalloacted space that has to be unalloacted space, unless I make like a 4mb SWAP which is rather pointless [16:48] sebsebseb, what do you mean? add itself where? [16:49] !fstbab | NinoScript [16:49] !fstab | NinoScript [16:49] hi people! a friend of mine has ubuntu 32bit installed, but how can I see if the computer supports the 64bit arch? [16:49] NinoScript: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:49] !partitions [16:49] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [16:49] progre55, does arch not have listed what system specs it needs for minimum efficiency? [16:50] CaptainTrek: didnt really get your question ) [16:50] NinoScript: and then there are file and folder permisions, that will be the issue if you can't write to your partition, after it's mounted [16:51] CaptainTrek: I mean, how can I see if the laptop cpu supports 64bits? [16:51] hi does anyone have experience in setting up a dnsbl? [16:51] progre55: try loading a Ubuntu64bit live cd on it without installing the thing? [16:52] progre55: there's probably an easier way through console, but I don't know it offhand [16:52] progre55, google the name of your processor [16:52] CaptainTrek: well, I dont have the livecd now. But I remember there was some param you look for when you cat /proc/cpuinfo [16:53] progre55, i don't know the param offhand [16:53] sorry [16:53] CaptainTrek: progre55 cat /proc/cpuinfo and look for "lm" [16:53] CaptainTrek: no prob [16:53] iceroot: thanks, let me try it [16:55] Hi folks.. is there a way to set so that I can activate the window under my mouse? [16:55] kernel panic [16:55] hi, is there a shell command to show me the disk usage of all partitions? [16:55] df [16:55] thx [16:55] df -h (to get them in human readable format) [16:56] iceroot: there is lahf_lm [16:56] ah, better still :D [16:56] df -h | grep -v "none\|udev [16:56] to not see the udevs [16:56] :P [16:56] now you are loosing me :D === Unode|NA is now known as Unode [16:56] Hi, I just noticed that "SMART is not available" shows up within "Palimpsest Disk Utility"... on all 3 of my computers... this was working a few weeks ago... could this be due to an update? [16:57] hi [16:57] Is there a console client for network-manager? [16:57] the grep -v"none\|udev" would remove the lines which are not really disks [16:57] I would like to enable smart monitoring with Palimpsest Disk Utility again... help? [16:57] what command is issued when I click on a partition on the Places menu? which mount options? [16:57] has anyone gotten the 1280x1024 using an external VGA monitor on the Acer D250 netbook? [16:58] I need to connect to a wireless AP with WPA encryption but I don't have X access [16:58] Hi folks.. is there a way to set so that I can activate the window under my mouse? [16:58] thx, nmobix, df -h is just what i wanted :D [16:58] peturi: is it possible that the "smartmontools" package is not installed? [16:58] you are welcomed albert [16:58] JenniferB, Yes, let me search for that option, I've seen it [16:58] JenniferB: I know you can in the Compiz Config Settings Manager, I don't know if you have compiz enabled or not [16:58] if you use compiz, it might be there [16:59] :D [16:59] sipior: It is not installed, and it wasn't there before. Do you think installing it will solve the problem? [16:59] JenniferB, it's on System -> Preferences -> Window [17:00] peturi: i don't know. it's possible the disk utility makes use of it if installed. [17:00] NinoScript: Thanks :) [17:01] JenniferB, No problem :) [17:01] oh my god.. this just gives me another reason to switch to openSuSE... i read on ubuntuforums: "The bug is a feature. SMART detection was disabled intentionally to prevent destroying some SSDs." ... SHIT what ht eHELL is wrong with those people???? I was depending on SMART alerts as my drives are very old. [17:01] how long does it generally takes software updates to appear in the repos? [17:01] or JenniferB use this sequence: ALT+F1 & S & P & W & ALT+S & ALT+C [17:01] :) [17:01] !language | peturi [17:01] peturi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:02] What is wrong with my language honk? [17:02] no swear words there [17:02] peturi: yes, yes there were. Keep it family friendly. [17:02] peturi: flapping your arms around is no help at all. if you're depending on alerts, surely it helps to make sure the thing is running?  [17:03] Ook.. new question :) [17:03] Why should i make sure it's running by checking it every once in a while? I set the damn thing up and i expect it to work and run without problems.. and then they disable it with updates without telling me? [17:03] how do disable the auto copy on higlight text ? [17:03] peturi: after an update? yes, i would certainly check it. [17:04] kernel panic [17:04] kernel panic [17:04] sipior: So every time you apply security updates to your computer... you gothro all possible settings just to doublecheck everything is like before? NO. [17:04] Good afternoon all. I am in need of assistance with Ubuntu Netbook Remix and a desktop with Intel 82865G video. [17:04] peturi: i do. then again, i'm paid to be careful. [17:04] hey ho [17:05] peturi: anyway, you have your answer. [17:05] sipior: Be realistic, Don't tell me u check if that SMART thingie is running after each update. [17:05] I installed and updated successfully, but the menu front end is sluggish. Well, unusale is the word. [17:05] Is there a console client for network-manager (to start a wireless connection with WPA encryption)? [17:06] peturi: I do what sipior does all the time, granted I only update my *nix box every 2 weeks, so its not like I check it that often [17:06] All applications work fine, and I can use the keyboard to navigate, butresponse to mouse input is decidedly non existant. [17:06] rad4Christ: you upgraded to karmic? [17:06] petrui: heck, I even check to see if openssh remains running after each update [17:06] Unode: dont quote me on this but try wicd [17:06] Unode: 9.10 [17:06] petrui: as sipior said, its a good idea to check every so often that things run, especially after critical updates [17:07] rad4Christ: I had the same problem, quickest solution was to reinstall from scratch (after losing a few hours trying to figure out what went wrong with the upgrade) [17:07] I know with Intel chipsets there's video issues. In fact, on a previous attempt we successfully fixed it by disabling tiling in the xorg.conf, but this time around it sin't working [17:07] In fact, xorg.conf didn't even exist... [17:07] CaptainTrek: It should not be in the hands of the user to check what has been changed with updates, that is not the critical stuff... so i do wonder... to save my self the trouble are there any "Release notes" posted on ubuntu.com ? [17:08] Unode: Sorry, I misunderstood, this is a clean install. [17:08] rad4Christ: reinstall means, pick the 9.10 ubuntu remix cd and go from there [17:08] release notes.. per update. [17:08] rad4Christ: then sorry, can't help you :) [17:08] Unode: No problem [17:08] Anyone else? I am utterly (cow joke) stumped. [17:08] geekphreak: isn't wicd also gtk based? [17:09] peturi: yes, but for which package? if you've got a complaint, take it up with the developers. OTHERWISE, its considered up to the user to make sure everything runs. [17:09] Canobahh [17:09] why can i not get my quetinos answered :( [17:09] Unode: i think it has cli option too, like i said "dont quote me on this" [17:10] didnt mean to post that [17:10] rad4Christ: i know of cnetworkmanager but it is not packaged in ubuntu (karmic) [17:10] CaptainTrek: if he had an SSD, he'd be complaining that they hadn't changed it sooner... [17:10] geekphreak: ok, I'll have a look thanks [17:10] Unode: wicd-gtk i think is what you are refering too though [17:10] sipior: too true XD [17:10] erUSUL: cnetworkmanager? That has an effect on the menu system with Intel drivers?

All she needs is Firefox, PDF and OpenOffice (.doc and .xls support) [17:15] Does anybody know if the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine is something that comes packaged with the 3rd party java installation? For example, if i wanted to upgrade the hotspot version, would I have to upgrade the whole sun package? [17:15] JenniferB: core X feature i do nor know of a way to disable it [17:15] is there a way to lockdown a user account so they can only use the web browser [17:15] you can copy just by highlighting? wtf i want that [17:15] JackWat: i'm not sure i understand the question [17:15] !wtf | JackWat [17:16] JackWat: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:16] JackWat: yes, the sun java package is the hotspot VM [17:16] JackWat: highlight something; click middle button to paste it in current cursor place [17:16] erUSUL: yeah but that does not effect the copy/paste functions. [17:16] hey guys, im currently using linux mint 8, is there any way to install ubuntu from mint? like if i change all of the sources.list to ubuntus one ? [17:16] ccooke: so if iw anted to upgrade only the hotspot version, would i need to do wnload the correct java package for that version from java.com? [17:17] rdogg: Mint is an unofficial derivative of Ubuntu, you'll have to check with their support. [17:17] rdogg: that doesn't sound good :P heh [17:17] rdogg: dont event hink about it :d. better option use vm [17:17] oh ok [17:17] geekphreak: Thanks but that location doesnt exist, I dont know where to find it (its located elsewhere in lubuntu).. I can't recall [17:17] or upgrade your sun java package, if there's a later one that has the right version.

[17:18] one more question, does ubuntu 10.04 support Ati Radeon 9250 now? [17:18] JackWat: however, if you download a non-Ubuntu version, I'd suggest that you uninstall the ubuntu package first. [17:18] rdogg: check in #ubuntu+1 for Lucid discussion.

Also disabled Tiling in xorg.conf. Looking for ANY other options to make menu responsive to mouse input. All other apps and system working. [17:19] JackWat: the hotspot version is not the same as the java version. [17:19] ccooke: ok, how do i upgrade just the hotspot vm? [17:20] so what does the caps lock key flashing mean? [17:20] JackWat: as I said, the hotspot VM is installed along with the rest of java. It just has a different version. [17:20] ccooke: ok so if i wanted to update to a newer version of hotspot, i would have to upgrade my whoel java version. correct? [17:20] JackWat: if you can find an ubuntu package with the relevant version of hotspot, you can use that. If not, uninstall the ubuntu version and download a version from Sun [17:20] JackWat: yes. [17:20] ccooke: thank you sir. [17:21] i heard that ubuntu 10.4 use gcc 4.5 as default compiler, anybody know about this?

If I start up my computer with wireless on (which I hate to do), wireless works just fine. However, if I leave it off and then try to turn it on, Ubuntu seems to think the device doesn't exist. :( Please help. [18:21] Is it a problem with dbus? [18:21] ubuntu_giant: turn it on when you startup, then turn off wireless if you want, and don't turn the computer off [18:21] hi guys anyone know if the alternate installer can shrink osx on a gpt part table? [18:21] LzrdKing, Yeah, that's the simple answer, but not the secure one. :) [18:22] Not really helpful either. [18:22] Thanks, though. [18:22] :-) [18:22] right because having the wireless ON is insecure [18:22] invalidrecord, is it normal for people to put Ubuntu on MACs? [18:23] invalidrecord: I've done a shrink on with liveusb but with a mac part I'm not so sure about [18:23] invalidrecord, I'm interested, because I might be getting a mac, but I'd rather use Linux. [18:23] wad: What's wrong with that? [18:23] hi hi [18:23] ubuntu_giant: i was going to say "don't turn off wireless with the hardware switch" [18:23] Flare-laptop: what should it say when i run iwconfig eth0 [18:23] schlaftier, you're making invalid assumptions. Read what my question actually said. [18:23] wad: Mac uses BSD, you can get BSDports for OS X if you want to use a lot of open software [18:23] wad: well ues its fine to do that [18:23] is it possible to mount a western digital usb device with ubuntu? [18:23] but currently i am on a hackingtosh so [18:24] wad: Sorry, but I answered before your clarification [18:24] pureone: yes [18:24] vex1: depends [18:24] invalidrecord: how so sir? [18:24] well just plug it in dbus should mount it for you [18:24] * wad paypals schlaftier a trillion dollars [18:24] Flare-laptop: well mine just says no wireless extentions lol [18:24] ok ty [18:24] pureone: I had problems with my external HD but it should work fine [18:25] tc all [18:25] wad: keep your money, you need it for your Mac :) [18:25] hi guys does anyone use uvesafb? [18:25] does ubuntu run as a live cd or is it a installer? [18:25] schlaftier, nobody said I was buying it. I may be "getting" it. [18:25] pureone: both [18:25] ok [18:25] pureone: Desktop and Netbook Remix can run off a liveCD, Server doesn't [18:25] wad: even better, as long as you're not "getting" mine... [18:25] I wouldn't purchase one, Ubuntu works great on normal PC hardware. [18:26] I don't know why Ubuntu can't find my wireless card. When I say "ifconfig wlan0 up," I get the following error: [18:26] schlaftier, lol [18:26] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [18:26] ubuntu_giant: boot with the device enabled [18:26] is there a ubuntu-mactel team channel?

[18:43] chaoflux: don't use compiz, maybe try "nvidia-settings --assign="SyncToVBlank=1"" int terminal [18:43] jad, you have to have somewhere to cache to [18:43] i've also noticed that when i try to check the radio box for Sync to VBlank in nvidia server settings, it doesn't seem to stick when i quit the program and launch it again [18:43] like a proxy [18:43] k, i'll give that a go [18:43] pure_hate, k [18:43] wget --proxy-on --cache=off -m http://mywebsite.com [18:44] for example [18:44] 50 [18:44] I got a Jre-6.0 binary file how can i install it for my Chrome [18:44] why does synaptic package manager want to remove grub-common and grub-pc before inistalling grub-doc??

[18:47] c_nick: chmod +x [18:47] What characters can I use when changing hostname?

[18:49] *127.0.1.1 [18:49] hmm ok [18:50] bbl [18:50] ulinux: do you have ipv6? [18:50] Hi guys, I'm running Ubuntu Karmic NBR on my Samsung N210. I was trying out a newer version of Mesa and when I rebooted, I get nothing [18:50] !grub2 | teurastaja [18:50] teurastaja: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [18:50] I've obviously messed up my display - so how do I revert back? [18:50] teurastaja, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [18:50] thx [18:50] teurastaja ubuntu shows some ipv6 adresses but i dont use it [18:51] what hostname do you want? [18:51] is the default ok? [18:51] could I use like "?" [18:51] no dont even try [18:51] or must be some letter [18:51] or number [18:52] currently i use a letter and it's ok [18:52] it should be /\w/ (if u know regexp) [18:52] no : [18:52] i won't change it then [18:52] :P [18:52] also, if I try to use the 'recovery' options in grub, it gets stuck at "Starting Init crypto disks..." [18:53] then it just means numbers underscore and chars [18:53] chaoflux: you didn't typed it correctly, you forget " at the end, it should be: nvidia-settings --assign="SyncToVBlank=1" [18:53] teurastaja I saw a tutorial where some guy use spaces [18:53] chaoflux: Also, the setting is lost when you reboot. After each reboot you should enter it again or make a script [18:53] you should change it because what you told me generally raises a dns parsing exception [18:53] no such luck w/ the terminal command, still have some screen tearing... also noticed that in my nvidia x server settings the sync to vblank box still doesn't remain checked [18:53] ohh [18:53] lol, i had rebooted, i might have missed some of what you said [18:54] chaoflux: no I've waited, just try again [18:54] what does "SyncToVBlank" do anyway? [18:54] LzrdKing: like it says, vsync [18:54] ulinux: 127.0.0.1[tab]localhost.localdomain[space]localhost [18:55] ah. just answered my own question about screenshots: use shutter instead [18:55] and make sure everything else is commented out (# prepended) [18:55] pure_hate, [18:55] anodesni: it doesn't say vsync, it says synctovblank [18:55] teurastaja i dont wanna mess with that stuff lol [18:55] LzrdKing: same idea [18:55] also tell me the output of your /etc/resolv.conf [18:55] anodesni: and what does to do for you? [18:55] naah, still see some vertical screen tearing after entering nvidia-settings --assign="SyncToVBlank=1 into terminal [18:56] LzrdKing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_blanking_interval [18:56] ulinux: to have proper dns resolution you have to hange it [18:56] LzrdKing: for me it solved tearing issues with certain opengl stuff, like zsnes [18:56] but the internet works fine [18:56] not the dns [18:56] anodesni: i just read that, it talks about TVs and i'm not using a video card with that option on my tv [18:57] make ur life simple LzrdKing [18:57] anyone know how to get s-video out working for a gateway laptop and ubuntu? [18:57] qazibasit: it's relatively simple [18:57] it makes your system hang at startup and networking can crash for no obvious reason for some apps [18:57] hmm [18:58] how can I in the terminal replace text from the output of a command? [18:58] i don't really game anymore so there's not much point in having a gtx 260 if another card would work out better for me [18:58] LzrdKing do you know how can i use my ubuntu for parallel computing???? [18:58] chaoflux: Valve is porting steam and the source engine to linux, so... [18:58] so how is blanktovsync relevant to computing today? [18:58] ulinux its simple: 127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost [18:58] oops, synctovblank [18:58] LzrdKing: it is, from my experience [18:58] oops [18:58] <_pg_> anodesni: really? that is for sure happening?

I have that problem and missed beginning of your conversation [18:59] qazibasit: i don;t know [18:59] <_pg_> anodesni: ah. i heard similar to for mac, didnt know if it was legit or not [18:59] ulinux: just make sure everything else has a "#" at the beginning of the lines [19:00] ringer i dont have any problem with my internet [19:00] guys, what's best for a Asus Eee900? Ubuntu Netbook Remix or Kubuntu Netbook Remix? [19:00] it is important for me to figure out this screen tearing w/ my mkv files though [19:00] would i have better luck w/ an ati card? [19:00] ringer: his /etc/hosts isnt properly configured but he has no apparent problems [19:00] i don't think my screen has ever tore [19:00] frxstrem: use sed [19:01] teurastaja a # before lines? then they wont do any effect [19:01] ringer: i just told him to type 127.0.0.1[tab]localhost.localdomain[space]localhost [19:01] llutz: how do I use sed, exactly? [19:01] # before all OTHER lines [19:01] frxstrem: "man sed" [19:01] jad: that's not an Ubuntu related question [19:01] well, my system is a little old but not terribly... socket 775 motherboard, q6600, 8gb ram... gtx 260... just seems vsync isn't actually enabled [19:01] maybe i need a better monitor, i dunno lol [19:01] ye before ipv6 lines [19:01] # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts [19:01] chaoflux: ati sucks on linux [19:01] then just tell me whats in your /etc/resolv.conf [19:02] frxstrem: a start http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html [19:02] chaoflux: don't use compiz, try smplayer [19:02] h00k, i think its a linux question, using wget [19:02] On newly installed 9.10, when I click on an icon or link most of the time the click is not answered.

[19:05] teurastaja 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost exactly like that? what about the hostname line? [19:05] jad: that might be the problem. FB might not allow caching, forcing you to get the page fresh each time [19:05] chaoflux: do the 2 screens have different (native) screen resolutions?? [19:05] yes [19:05] mbeierl, oh [19:05] jad: secondly fb also uses a lot of ajax to render content. wget cannot do that for you [19:05] 1080 and 1400x900 [19:05] ulinux: if you read "man hosts" youd see 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, localhost.localdomain is the official hostname and localhost is just an alias [19:06] mbeierl, i get i simply have to wget the page then regex the number [19:06] after the installation of the nvidia driver under lucid lynx (asus ul30vt laptop), ubuntu boots with just a black screen. no matter what buttons i press (alt ctrl f1....), it stays black.how do i rescue the system? [19:06] chaoflux: that might be the problem. I have that too, but linux just vsyncs one screen (for a specific resolution), then it doesn't work well on the other monitor [19:06] fb sucks [19:06] ulinux: you just need that line [19:06] well, if i had to choose i'd prefer it be my 1080 monitor [19:06] !fstab | azlon [19:06] azlon: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

I want to be able to ssh into the server from the router without typing any password (so a null-passphrase key essentially), but the router doesn't have any ssh-keygen command, just ssh [19:07] fb is nothing just a data collection utility [19:07] it really seems as if i'm not getting any on my second monitor though [19:07] to construct AI for web 3.0 [19:07] (so essentially creating the key on the server, and copying to the router?)

I'm not sure how the fb app loads it, that's all [19:09] LzrdKing: what I've done is generate it on the server, and copied that into a id_rsa.pub file which now resides in the .ssh folder on the router. Also, the same key has been copied into the authorized_keys file on the server. Yet I still have to type in the password for the user trying to log in. What can I have done wrong?

[19:36] Luyza: yes I didn't really need tou se the !wine factoid, my point though is, you should really ask for Wine help in there, not here [19:37] anthony_123, so if the movie is avi the command would be ffmpeg -i movie.avi movie.flv [19:37] just keep on trying? [19:37] I can't open it [19:37] coz_ is will try.. [19:37] sebsebseb, I said I already did, and I also said I know many Ubuntu users use Wacom successfully in Photoshop [19:37] When did this channel become so rude?

[19:38] parent? what do you mean [19:38] Luyza, oh wine you may have to go to the #winegq channel for that stuff [19:38] elie-m: there's an option to have it pick the fastest one [19:38] Luyza, rather #winehq [19:38] DOS/Windows executable (application/x-ms-dos-executable [19:38] coz_, I mean, I have been in this channel or years, I have seen great people help people, I have helped lots, and yes, I have asked for help, but since a few months ago, all I see is "Sorry I can't help" followed by random links [19:38] uLinux:the messages you post semm to be from a win-prog, hat is .. ? [19:39] that* [19:39] uLinux: that's a .NET executable, which means you have to run it with Mono [19:39] Luyza, oh i see... yes I have been here for years also....mmm [19:39] Luyza: have a bit of patience, we are all volunteers here [19:39] coz_, I have already STATED TWICE that I asked there already and I also stated twice that I do know many ubuntuers use wacom successully in photoshohp, which is why I hopped to see someonbe who can help me here [19:39] Flare-Laptop: uLinux Mono can't actsaully run most .NET programs [19:39] can I use partimage to restore my HDD from USB memory in live Ubuntu?

[19:40] it's not known [19:40] h00k, I am calmed down, but I do not apreciate being hinted at that I am lazy. [19:40] is it normal for ubuntu to slow down as the computer gets hotter?

[19:49] i download a theme from gnome-lookrg [19:49] liminal: oh ATI ah [19:49] so i tried reinstalling it, but then I ended up with no grpahic card output at all. [19:49] thank you ubottu..

[19:49] liminal: quite a lot of people got issues with ATI in Ubuntu, but I think the next version will work better with ATI and Nivida [19:49] i downloaded but when i want to installed the emerald dont found the file theme [19:49] liminal: of Ubuntu [19:49] how do i fix the S and K numbers in /etc/rc#.d/ when insserver rewrote them all sequentially? instead of S10xxx S40xxx, S80xxx, i have S01xxx, S02xxx, S03xxxx [19:49] so i completely removed it and placed the open source radeon version on [19:49] anthony_123: ubott.. is the channnel ro-bot [19:49] lucid? [19:49] liminal: yes, but don't get it just yet [19:50] well, karmic doesnt work for me at the moment [19:50] Someone gave me 3 older laptops and I was wondering if there was a version of Ubuntu that I could install on them any suggestions? [19:50] dont seem to have much to loose [19:50] liminal: since the final isn't released untill Thursday. and then the download servers will be packed, getting on Saturday will probably be alright though. [19:50] My plans are to give them away [19:50] judget, how old? [19:50] oh is it this thursday?! [19:50] i thought it was weeks away [19:50] liminal: yes this Thursday, but what I just put [19:50] jimmyjh2 : that also works for linux-drives, nfs is anothr possobility , or ssh in another computer [19:51] !nfs [19:51] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.

[19:51] yeah.. dont really want to shell out for a whole new graphic card. [19:51] tried to install ubuntu 8.04 alternate but the install hangs [19:51] it should work fine! [19:51] liminal: Linux distros tend to work well with hardware that is pretty standard, if you put some really fancy graphics card in, then yes things might not work [19:52] judget, Eek! I might suggest this thread, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1197442 But I bet you've seen it already! [19:52] Let me know judget [19:52] liminal: nvidia is quite good supported, even the gamer-ones [19:52] llutz i know of eagle but i was hoping for one of my systems disign not componenet level [19:53] Luyza not i had not seen that one i will check it out thanks. Going to the philippines later this week and i was gonna give them away if i can get them to work [19:53] is an Radeon HD2600XT fancy? [19:53] judget, I hope the people enjoy their new computers :-) Have fun in Philippines [19:53] i thought the ati drivers were opened sourced, thought it was better supported than Nvida [19:53] <_pg_> so i set up a vnc connection to my home computer, and it worked, but since I had to restart the computer, It no longer works-is this because I have to launch the vnc server each time it reboots? [19:53] thanks for the help [19:53] coz_ please help..got an error http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:53] liminal: nope [19:53] liminal: maybe in other distros, but not Ubuntu [19:55] anthony_123: You need to give the link to your specific pastebin, not just the pastebin site [19:55] how do i restart xserver, xorg and xwindow?

One is open source 'radeon' and the other is made by ATI and is proprietary 'fglrx' [19:56] Pici: What's the third? [19:56] sebsebseb: 'ati' its pretty much just the same as 'radeon' [19:56] yeah im using radeon, fglrx didnt work [19:56] Pici: oh ok [19:57] yo! [19:57] buonasera a tutti [19:57] So my Ubuntu is fucking up. I want to preserve my /home, will it let me do this on the 10.4 install?

I have ATI hardware. any help please! [20:02] hi all, how can i put a pass for mysql? [20:02] uLinux, problably missing that DLL, might have to copy it from Windows installation (if you own windows) also, might want to ask at #mono (#winehq is NOT the right place to ask) [20:02] Luyza: was it a .net app? [20:02] soreau please check the paste is working..or am i doing it wrong again..please [20:02] uLinux: you could try ##mono plus there's an offical channel on the Gnome network, which get's mentioned in that channels topic [20:02] Yeah, .net [20:02] PeterDrop: mysql -p [20:02] Luyza: gotcha. that I missed. [20:02] It's easy to confuse [20:02] <_pg_> so i set up a vnc connection to my home computer, and it worked, but since I had to restart the computer, It no longer works-is this because I have to launch the vnc server each time it reboots?

[20:04] Luyza: no not quite [20:04] Luyza: is it? i think i've run it on 128 [20:04] I believe it is an integrated intel [20:04] Luyza: xubuntu is better than ubuntu for 128MB systems [20:04] If you want your PC to be a crawl :P [20:05] later versions of Ubuntu can be run on 128MB RAM, but the Desktop CD will probably crash, unless a 512MB or so SWAP space is already on there [20:05] My gf recently had me change my password to something she could remember. The next restart and I can't access my home folder. [20:05] Is their a way that I can find out without opening the system [20:05] ethel: sysetm > prefrences > monitor [20:05] CaptainTrek, Oh yes, certainly, but not the "best" :P I mean, I could run Vista in 128 mb if I wanted to [20:05] ethel, you must install the intel video drivers then , do you use gnome ? [20:05] xeer: haha' [20:05] My home directory is obscured by libecryptfs [20:05] and it claims my passphrase is not correct [20:05] Luyza: state your source, xubuntu runs fine and smoothly (and decently fast) on an old 128MB system I have lying around [20:05] Is says Monitor unknown [20:05] xeer: serves you right :P [20:05] llutz i dont know what version of mysql i have :S [20:05] I changed the password through the gnome users and groups [20:05] CaptainTrek: Luyza LXDE/Lubuntu is actsaully apparantly a lot more lite waight than XFCE/Xubuntu by the way [20:05] ethel, use lspci will list your video card in there under VGA [20:06] CaptainTrek, I am the source! [20:06] mickster04: serves me right for changing my password? [20:06] Yes I am running gnome. I went to synaptic and installed all of the intel drivers [20:06] xeer: letting your girlfriend change it:D [20:06] CaptainTrek, By all means, I was just providing an alternative [20:06] PeterDrop, do in terminal dpkg -l mysql-server [20:06] xeer: create a new user for your gf :P haha [20:06] Should I open the terminal window for lspci [20:06] mickster04: regardless, it seems to be bug and I have a lot of personal data that needs recovered. [20:06] *shrugs* [20:06] lol winehq is dead [20:07] ethel, there should be a hardware ddrivers button in system administration , click there [20:07] uLinux: ? [20:07] ethel yes open terminal for lspci [20:07] uLinux: There will be people there later typing [20:07] JackWat everybody is idle [20:07] ok [20:07] oh [20:07] uLinux, weren't you the one with the mono problem? [20:07] i thought you were talking about the page [20:07] yes [20:07] i have this 5.1.41-3ubuntu12 then i have to put dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1.41-3ubuntu12 ? [20:07] I already tried that and it said that I wasn't running any proprietary drivers [20:07] uLinux: by the way with enough RAM, you can run Windows junk apps nicely in a Windows virtual machine, inside Ubuntu [20:07] uLinux, winehq can't help you with mono, head over to #mono (Sorry for the confusion) [20:08] uLinux: except 3D games and that kind of thing [20:08] I am running lspci right now [20:08] can anyone please check the paste really works... [20:08] ethel: lspci lists all your PCI devices [20:08] look for VGA [20:08] sebsebseb i know [20:08] uLinux: oh and the proccessor will have to be good enough to handle a VM as well [20:08] anthony_123: what? [20:08] anthony_123: yes, pastebin works [20:08] i see that when i ssh into my office server in US and work on it the ssh terminals are very very sluggish while responding.. I suspect my network connectction to be bad now but all my browsing speeds and everything else works fine.. To verify if i was right or not.. I asked a few of my colleagues and they say the ssh works fine for them.. [20:09] Ok. It's a via technologies video card. At least I know now [20:09] how do i figure out if im facing network issues at my end ? [20:09] wrapster: can you ping your gateway? [20:09] if i use 'share internet' in my network settings on this machine, what settings do i need on the other end? [20:09] Hey guys! Since I have installed Lucid today, my PC keeps freezing at the BIOS (!) screen every second or third boot. At first I didnt think it would relate to Lucid, but after testing with Windows, LiveCDs and restarting from GRUB I have found that it seems to relate to the shutdown process of Lucid, which seems unprobable and almost impossible to my... any suggestions? [20:09] thanks, at least got to know something... [20:09] PeterDrop, you should just put in dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 [20:09] !lucid | nae_ [20:09] nae_: 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 [20:09] keyctl_search: Required key not available [20:09] nimrod10 yes that works, txs [20:10] what would make my ecrypt key not available? [20:10] no probs PeterDrop [20:10] I am checking synaptic to see if they support Via Technologies video card [20:10] hi, i just installed ubuntu karmic. after the startup my bios says the harddrive is invalid too boot from, but if i hit "boot from first harddrive" in the live-cd-menu grub loads up [20:10] When I was running Ubuntu 9.10 it just recognized my configuration [20:10] ethel, can yuo paste the whole line from lspci where it said VGA ... [20:10] i tried to reinstall grub2 from the live cd but it didn't do any good [20:10] ethel: check the forums to see if they have any body else using that card. also, you should be able to change your resolution anyway [20:10] Ok. I will right now [20:11] albert: i would manually check your grub configuration [20:11] ethel: via on linux is horrible. [20:11] nimrod10 : i put files on /var/www but on browser says "you dont have permissions..."

[20:13] http://pastebin.org/181906 <- see this please [20:13] Hello, planning to install Ubuntu on one of my computers. Should I wait for 10.04 release, or is the RC about the same. What is the difference between the two anyways? Should I wait the 3 days, or is upgrading from RC to the release easy enough? Any suggestions? [20:14] wrapster: what is your issue? it soundsl ike your connection is working fine if you can sucesfully ping your gateway [20:14] ZeroCool: I recommend waiting untill 10.04 and then doing it, or putting 9.10 on and then upgrading it [20:14] 28-ZeroCool-: Better wait [20:14] ZeroCool: wait for final release if you are gonna use it as your main OS [20:14] ZeroCool: oh and download servers for Lucid will be packed on release day and Friday I guess, Saturday will be ok I guess [20:14] ZeroCool: packed as in slow === FunkySayu is now known as FunkyShower [20:14] JackWat: my issue is why do i see huge lags when i ssh into my machines at US while none of my colleagues face such a problem? [20:14] RC= Release Candidate [20:14] Well, I have to give props to libecryptfs for losing my home folder when I changed my password, wtg! [20:15] JackWat: and even i did not face these issues a few days ago. [20:15] Thanks a lot guys, the wait is killing me :) [20:15] 9.10 click response is slow to button or link click- sometimes responds when I move the mouse away from the button or link, what gives? [20:15] its only started recently. [20:15] jackwat: do i have to change this harddrive-id (c6f57149-ae20-4654-83a6-4b7cd541540e) too? [20:15] albert: i dont think so [20:15] check the device mapper file [20:15] The torrent downloads for lucid should be fast [20:15] wrapster: do you have slow SSH responses while typing? or only while logging in? [20:16] ZeroCool: 9.10 worked better then this beta. Its about the same versions of everything unless you count kde and gnome. Not many visible changes. [20:16] wrapster: it soudns to me that the SSH server is having problems doing a reverse lookup on your hostname. [20:16] JackWat: while typing.. I type a char and see it displayed after ages. [20:16] hmmm [20:16] ZeroCool: yeah 9.10 will actsauly be better than 10.04 in certain ways [20:16] if you ping that machien does it go fast? [20:17] my syslog only has info from cron and the result is a cron.hourly report how do I change what syslog logs? [20:17] ZeroCool: I upgraded to 10.04 and got troubles with opengl. Wine segfaulted etc. [20:17] Brimstones: well there Gnome editing to the top panel is rather noticeable to me, as an experienced user. and stuff like that. anyway off topic [20:17] Brimstones: right, but that's the release candiate [20:17] Brimstones: there is/was also some sort of xorg issue in Lucid, hence why for proper installs, people should ONLY upgrade when the final is out [20:18] sebsebseb: that will be upgraded to stable in a few days. Same software [20:18] what is ubuntu? i use win95 :P [20:19] sebsebseb: what is the proper channel to discuss 9.10 sluggishness problem? [20:19] JackWat: no its fairly slow [20:19] osaris: then yer a blast from the past :) [20:19] how do i copy a file to a folder using sudo? [20:19] mozillanerd: this is it [20:19] any tips on how to configure syslog to log what I want when I want it? [20:19] sebsebseb: I like it, but some upstream decitions are odd. The new weather-applet combined with the clock/date-time applet lacks a country selector combo-box (Regular users goes "Waah?") [20:19] wrapster: do a traceroute on the box. see which hop is causing the problem [20:19] JackWat: averaging out at around 330ms [20:20] you don't use sudo, you use cp [20:20] sebsebseb: thanks [20:20] mozillanerd: this is currently for 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, and 9.04 issues, but on the 30th it will be for 8.04, 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04 issues. 8.10 goes end of life on 30th April no more security updates [20:20] i need sudo for permission [20:20] .. [20:20] if you can read the file and write the folder [20:20] sudo cp.. [20:20] mozillanerd: I did two 9.04's there at the begining the second was meant to be 9.10 [20:20] JackWat: 11 packets transmitted, 9 received, 18% packet loss, time 45512ms ; rtt min/avg/max/mdev=321.164/327.952/331.951/3.014 ms [20:20] ulinux: sudo cp [20:20] tks osaris [20:21] Thanks for the input in regards to my first question. Second, I purchased a fairly small SSD 30GB. I wanted to use it primarily for the OS. Would it be safe to assume that /boot /bin /usr/bin would be ok to put on the SSD, while all other on a magnetic drive? I don't really want to write to the SSD, rather speed up loading of applications. [20:21] mozillanerd: also there are loco Ubuntu channels [20:22] np [20:22] ;0 [20:22] sebsebseb: problems are with 9.10 - previously ran 9.04 with no problems. What is loco Ubuntu (crazy ubuntu)? [20:22] !loco | mozillanerd [20:22] mozillanerd: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [20:22] is there a way to do print page from console?

Rightclick and edit the controllers settings -> pulseaudio settings pops up. Crank the volume up (Why was i fooled into believing it was at full volume when it clearly wasnt ??? :) [20:23] FriedrichMan: look into lpr [20:23] sebsebseb, ubottu, boy am I dense, sorry [20:23] where is the conf for syslog [20:23] Hi.

[20:26] Brimstones: In at least one other distro that I know about since use it :) pulseaudio can be easily disabled. In Ubuntu well I guess you know already. good luck trying to disable it without some other issue as well. [20:27] osaris: whats the best way to tell?

[20:33] Hey, guys. Some time ago I used a Ubuntu program that takes an ordinary image and makes have a reflection. Does anyone remember the name of that app, please? [20:34] maybe you used gimp? [20:34] i try to share my internet connection (wlan0) from a karmic notebook to a lucid notebook over eth0, but it won't connect. I use the normal "auto eth0" on the lucid end and a "share internet" connection on the karmic end, what am I doing wrong? [20:34] nsadmin, no, definitely not gimp. [20:34] Zoffix: apt-cache search reflection [20:34] JackWat: i did tracepatch in one screen while i ssh'd into that machine form another... till a while i saw a bit of data. but after i logged in to the remote machine .. tracepath started to show 'no reply' [20:34] Poundo: what do you want to do specifically with syslogd? [20:34] eoeas, i suggest use synaptic flashplugin-installer [20:34] inkscape? [20:35] afaik rsyslogd has replaced sysklogd [20:35] brontosaurusrex, nothing... I'm on a slightly older install of Ubuntu than the one I used that program on, so I'm fearing it's not even in the repos here :/ === FunkyShower is now known as FunkySayu [20:35] nsadmin, nah, the purpose of the app is just that, to make reflections of images. When you start it you can load three images by default and move them around to get different reflection angle. [20:35] OerHeks: that's what I recommend too :) - hence no need for copying libflashplayer.so somewhere manually [20:35] Zoffix: tkpaint? [20:36] Let me see that one.. [20:36] true, and automatic updates. [20:36] osaris: well at this point the only thing in the file syslog is an hourly cron report I would like to get rid of the hourly report and jsut capture the once a day when the actual job runs [20:36] I guess people here are mostly CLULESS.... nobody use wget here? ridiculous... [20:36] Zoffix: I use gimp, perhaps that will help. === beto is now known as capoeira [20:36] Is there a way to switch the state of a modifier button? ubuntu seems to believe my 'windows' key is off when I press it, and on when I don't.

[21:12] !karmic | qazibasit [21:12] qazibasit: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [21:12] I had to download a new version, the old file was corrupt, i'll check the new [21:12] qazibasit: specs of the box ? [21:13] <_0R10N> navatwo: the point is you can't run any sort of test, but trying with another iso, or installing on another computer [21:13] hp pavilion notebook, 2.0 GH C2D 2 gb ram and 9600 geforce nvidia [21:13] i have a 32 bit vista installed [21:13] qazibasit: best is to use a torrent for d/l ,as most clients re-check the download, then md5-check the iso and burn at moderate speed [21:14] !who | qazibasit [21:14] qazibasit: 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 :) [21:14] there isnt a soul in the xubuntu chat, if anyone knows how to change the color of the panel in Xubuntu, please speak up [21:14] <_pg_> so i set up a vnc connection to my home computer, and it worked, but since I had to restart the computer, It no longer works-is this because I have to launch the vnc server each time it reboots? it is now headless. [21:14] qazibasit: why not use the 64 bit on it ? [21:14] please help me, I accidently deleted my Desktop folder, so I created a new one but I was root so now I cannot access it using the file browser, how can I change the permissions of the desktop folder? [21:14] DasEi, what is the difference b/w a 32 bit and 64 bit O/S [21:14] AnActivist, chown [21:15] AnActivist: sudo chown -R youruser:youruser Desktop/ [21:15] <_0R10N> anactivist: change the owner, and then change the permissions [21:15] cool thank you i'll try it [21:15] qazibasit: wider bus, more possible memory, better support for the c2d (though 32 does good, to) [21:15] 32 bit is downgraded, and not everything works on a 32 bit, they are also slower [21:15] ohk [21:16] qazibasit: I'd use the 64 on that, want to keep vista also ? [21:16] yes === vinicius is now known as Guest1111 [21:16] theres a trial for Windows 7 Enterprise floating around, lasts 100 days [21:16] i have used linux in the past, but due to compitability issues in my university i switched to windows again [21:16] qazibasit: so resize with vista first, backup the mbr case grub fubars it, then install to the free space, size of hd ? [21:17] if every prompted as to which to use 32-bit windows or 64-bit windows /always/ opt for 32-bit as a lot of software doesn't support 64-bit windows even though it's been around awhile. [21:17] osaris: I cracked it. I must say I'm extremely frustrated with the amount of time that I lost, but I should not allow that to come in the way of some proper courtesy: thx osaris. [21:17] but now i am fedup [21:17] cant i install the ubuntu on my portable hard drive? [21:17] awdawd [21:17] Ok, it didn't work but this is why, when I deleted the Desktop directory and created a new one its just a regular folder not the one linked to the file browser [21:17] i think you might be able to [21:17] qazibasit: yes, if the box supports usb boot [21:17] Hi. Im having some problems when trying to use dosemu. I've mounted a windows XP unit using /mount -t smbfs -o username=name //ip/c$ /folder <-- This works fine, i can enter this folder. But when i try to use dosemu i have this error: Invalid drive F:. The config file is this: http://pastebin.com/8bz5c3xZ I dont know which is my error. Thanks in advance [21:18] qazibasit: BUT... [21:18] but ???? === ubuntu_ is now known as noob0001 [21:18] qazibasit: be carefull, the installer by default puts grub on the first (internal) hd, can you disconnect it ? [21:18] RumblePure: np i wanted to show you how to static set it but then also saw some interesting config parameters in the dhcp3 config file which would work good temporary [21:18] <_0R10N> : the problem that your folder is not included for quick access on the left panel? [21:19] DasEi unfortunately no [21:19] i dont know how to === Guest1111 is now known as vinicius_ [21:19] itd be like booting off of a disk, slow, annoying, yet it still works, ive done it with my flashdrive [21:19] qazibasit: laptop then I guess [21:19] yes [21:19] qazibasit: have you got a usb stick ? [21:19] a portable hard disk [21:19] hey [21:19] hey guys, i installed ubuntu 9.04 through wubi today, dont listen to what people say its fast [21:19] are there any guides to installing ubuntu on an external USB hard drive? [21:20] osaris: the problem was that I am using a gui network manage right? It really didnt matter what I did through the prompt, the gui manager would override my settings, right? [21:20] i wonder the same [21:20] DasEi, you can install Ubuntu inside a windows partition. Not ideal, but it is an install option [21:20] without completely hosing your MBR and such? [21:20] xomp we are talking abt the same issue [21:20] <_0R10N> bye guys, I have to go... I'll be back in a few hours.. [21:20] DasEi is telling me how to install on a usb HD [21:20] qazibasit: it is possible to tell the installer to put grub on the external hd, but you'll be safer to backup current mbr first [21:20] _0R10N, yes when I accidently deleted the Desktop folder it rm'ed when i look in the terminal, bu the link is still there in the file browser and I can still see my desktop files but cannot open and of them or delete them because they can't be found. What I need to do is rm the ghost desktop files and find a way to make a new Desktop folder that will be linked to in the file browser. [21:20] ringer : sure , I know that [21:21] you can do it in your system menu [21:21] can anyone help me configure compiz for it to work [21:21] so u mean that i should make a backup of my vista first before proceeding [21:21] <_pg_> brad__: !ask [21:21] hey guys, when i go to shrink my vista partition in vista, it says i have 0MB available to shrink, even though i have like 105GB free out of 139GB, i dont wanna use GParted because i kno vista cant sometimes boot afterwards, any help? [21:21] <_0R10N> ok, I'm staying a few more minutes [21:21] My friends cd drive is messed up but I managed to boot off the live cd. Is there any way to copy the installation files to the disk and then initiate the install from there so that the cd doesn't fail in the middle of the install? [21:22] qazibasit: you can do that with the live cd you use to install later, but can also save it to internal hd as file (ntfs, I assume) [21:22] maybe this ubuntu installer for windows? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-wubi [21:22] <_0R10N> : let me see what I can do [21:22] DasEi, sorry, that should have been directed at qazibasit [21:22] _0R10N, thank you [21:22] RumblePure: i am not sure. have only set this on servers [21:22] did anyone here me? [21:22] :) [21:23] ringer: native install is always nicer, I think [21:23] brad__: Can you come to #compiz so we can help you more easily? [21:23] RumblePure: i think it does overwrite it [21:23] ringer it will be a risky job [21:23] my computer is a 120 GB hd, and i created 3 partitions, so it is possible to install linux outside of your windows partition [21:23] reece: loud and clear [21:23] _0R10N, also in the file browser I can still click on the Desktop link and see all my files but I cant open/delete them [21:23] <_pg_> reece_: you have what would be called "immovable blocks" in osx [21:23] hey guys, when i go to shrink my vista partition in vista, it says i have 0MB available to shrink, even though i have like 105GB free out of 139GB, i dont wanna use GParted because i kno vista cant sometimes boot afterwards, any help? [21:23] <_pg_> reece_: defrag and try again. [21:23] qazibasit, it is not ideal, but is what I did first. [21:23] o right, i ran perfectdisk 11 but it didnt help [21:24] id buy WipeDrive [21:24] how can i make a backup of my mbr [21:24] after 4 hours of defrag with perfectdisk, and it was defragged the night before [21:24] by tuneup [21:24] qazibasit, very quickly decided Ubuntu was for me then wiped windows & did a full ubuntu install. Very happy! [21:24] wipe your drive clean, and start from scratch [21:24] qazibasit: d/l the 64 bit desktop as torrent, burn it, boot it, come back here, can call my nick, I'm still on for some time [21:24] <_pg_> reece_: hmm thats unfortunate. I have run into the same problem. [21:24] I just bought a new lcd monitor to use alongside my laptop monitor (to extend it); I am having an issue whenever I make a video (i.e. YOUTUBE) fullscreen, the fullscreen video opens on my laptop screen instead of the LCD I bought. Any way to switch this? [21:24] reece_: disable hibernation, disable virtual-memory (how does win calls that?), boot again, try again [21:25] i prefer using Wubi 9.04 though, im using it right now, it's just as fast as a native ext3 install [21:25] just about [21:25] hey guys i have an iso of ubunto 7.x can i install that and then update it to 9.04 [21:25] how abt that [21:25] i think u have to go from 7.xx to 9.04 gradually [21:25] qazibasit: yes its possible to upgrade from an EOL release [21:26] yes [21:26] My User Interface has frozen twice. Can this be caused by extra effects? [21:26] qazibasit: you could, but it'll take mmuch loooonger [21:26] unless u r going from 8.04 to 10.04, thats fine cos they r LTS [21:26] qazibasit: but youll have to go from 7.10 to 8.04 then fromthere you can go straight to 10.04 if you like [21:26] <_pg_> bryanr: yup [21:26] :( [21:26] <_0R10N> : man, you're doing something wrong. I just renamed the Desktop folder. Then I clicked on the icon on the panel, of course it failed. Then I created a folder and named it Desktop. I clicked the icon on the panel again and it opened my new folder [21:26] you could upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 then perhaps directly to 10.04 [21:26] you can go further, now we have Ubuntu 10.04 is in a beta [21:26] qazibasit: why not d/l 9.10 ? [21:26] lol, i typed what maco just typed [21:26] i dont like that 10.04, the new gnome, its horrible [21:26] <_pg_> Joe_Rossi: RC i thought? [21:26] _0R10N, ok i'll try more later have to go to class thank you [21:26] close buttons on the left like OS X [21:27] i'll check out that new kde 4.4 [21:27] ok i am downloading the 64 bit 9.04, i will burn that iso on a cd and then i will buzz u guys [21:27] wow ubuntu 10.4 is still really dodgy. I bet it'll be weird for a few months yet; but in spite of that, it looks awesome. [21:27] u all are getting disturbed [21:27] when starting UNR and the netbook-launcher comes up, it will flicker for half a second showing not the background image, but only the color. The netbook-launcher will also stay in a state like there were a window on top of it (it stays allmost completely transparent). It didnt behave like this when I installed the system. Anyone else had this problem? [21:27] qazibasit: nvm, just call nick from live-cd when reqady [21:27] <_0R10N> BYE EVERYBODYY =D [21:27] if i were u, i would stick to 9.04, sure its older and support will be dropped soon but its more stable and less buggy and dosent have that GRUB2 [21:27] hello anyone can help me with packaging ? [21:28] hey pg i just sent you a msg in a new dialog box [21:28] Is there no work around for the flash issue? [21:28] i will call u before doing anything [21:28] reece_: karmic is fine for me, too === antivirtel` is now known as antivirtel [21:28] <_blackwater_> !hi | piju [21:28] piju: Hi!

[21:29] alwaizlern, don't know about that one - best of luck man. [21:29] hi. how can I configure AUTOFS in 10.04?

(also known as FAT64) [21:32] piju: Didn't see if you got an answer, you can try this, not sure if its the best way though. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAMD64Faq#line-96 [21:32] DasEi one more question about ubuntu [21:32] he left :/ [21:32] qazibasit: y [21:33] how come its size is constant with all the upgrades [21:33] unlike windows [21:33] 'coz they do it right ? :p [21:33] qazibasit: it isn't, also depends on the apps you install [21:33] :) [21:33] qazibasit: updates delete old packages, also [21:33] hey, i have a question about compiz? [21:34] no i mean the 7.x iso is also of the same size as this 9.10 [21:34] qazibasit: ah, no, apps are in the repos, size is fine for cd-size, that's why [21:34] ohk [21:34] ! ask | lindsaymobil22 [21:34] lindsaymobil22: 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. :-) [21:34] For reporting a bug I want to test an upstream kernel from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds But I don't know which I need to download. uname -a gives me: 2.6.31-20 [21:35] i am using wobbly windows, and when i drag, this small white line appears on the top border of the window im dragging [21:35] qazibasit: there are also dvd's for people with no inet [21:35] qazibasit: win has no repos / mirrors [21:35] ohk, this time i am planning to contribute to the linux community [21:35] with some medical apps that i am working on === Votan is now known as Votan|off [21:36] lindsaymobil22: sounds like an issue with the video drivers.

Is there any way to copy the installation files to the disk and then initiate the install from there so that the cd doesn't fail in the middle of the install? [21:37] too buggy [21:37] hector: ask in #ubuntu+1 [21:37] although, i LOVE 9.04 [21:37] subone: you could use a USB [21:37] yeah 9.10 was pretty terrible [21:37] i think grub2 messed it up too much [21:37] My framebuffer is 80x30, hew can I change that? I'd rather have something a bit more readable. [21:38] When attempting to save Nvidia xserver configuration, I receive a message stating that it couldn't parse xorg.conf [21:38] i haven't had any problems with grub2 [21:38] I have dual display, and cannot set it up. any suggestions?

[21:39] I am prolly going to restart, however I will not disconnect as I am ssh'd in within a screen session. [21:39] anyone have trouble with 10.04 RC using ALC1200 for sound? [21:39] so I will brb. [21:39] Hi [21:39] lindsaymobil22: you can skip 10.04 if you want [21:40] FirstSgt: its a problem with the xorg.conf file. he recreated the file from scratch and it corrected his issue. [21:40] what do u mean? [21:40] hector1, reask in #ubuntu+1 (Lucid channel) [21:40] lindsaymobil22: 9.04 is supported untill October, 10.10 will be out, just before 9.04 runs out of support [21:40] !u > lindsaymobil22 [21:40] lindsaymobil22, please see my private message [21:40] thanks again JackWat, DasEi, ZykoticK9 and _blackwater_... [21:40] thanks Zykotick9 [21:40] I should be back soon [21:40] righton [21:40] I'm running Karmic and after a recent install it's really buggy and slow. The desktop started freezing as well! [21:40] yep [21:40] lindsaymobil22, why would you want to open all programs at once ? [21:40] yeah i guess, nice time to end support for my fav version, my birthday month :( [21:40] does using the windows ubuntu installer here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-wubi run the risk of messing up my Bootloader or anything like that if I were to try and install ubuntu on an external USB hard drive? [21:40] does anyone have any suggestions to making the wireless work on an acer aspire one running 9.10? [21:41] Is it normal that if I copy some text in a program, I close the program I copy the text from, the copy buffer becomes empty ? [21:41] im using Wubi right now, awesome, dosent screw anything up [21:41] Guest1, update the kernel as far as possible. [21:41] i cant, i have no wireless [21:41] sylr: yeah? [21:41] or connection for that matter [21:41] sylr, i'm affraid Linux uses a couple of different copy/paste mechanism - it can get ugly sometimes [21:41] Guest1, (cannot specify which kernel might help, currently running F12 on the A1) [21:41] lindsaymobil22: plus loads of other good distros to choose from http://www.distrowatch.com (this site doesn't have all of them, but the offical ones yes). As for Wubi in the long run a proper partitioned install is better really. [21:41] guest1: how r u talking to us then? [21:41] Guest1, furthermore, do not use adhoc networks [21:42] ZykoticK9, so it's a known behavior ? [21:42] lindsaymobil22, I have a complex system of dual boots setup internally right now and will die if this touches my internal bootloaders lol [21:42] for me its just as fast as an ext3 install [21:42] yacc: adhoc...? [21:42] Guest1, try to manually terminate a connection before leaving the coverage area [21:42] sylr, i wouldn't say that - just that i'm not surprised your running into an issue (trying what you're trying) [21:42] Guest1, (adhoc, if you do not know it you'll probably not use it, it's a device-to-device kind of WLAN) [21:42] is ur grub menu as long as a fax? [21:42] Can I copy the ubuntu install files to hdd whilerunning from live cd and start the installer from the hdd rather than the cd while still booted into live cd? [21:42] yacc: no no no the wireless adpater or whatever cant connect to a wireless network [21:42] Okay. So I emptied (after backing up) /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... ran the settings with sudo, and still ... it says unable to parse it. [21:43] yes lindsaymobil22 [21:43] yacc: 9.04 used to work, and then something happened and the wireless stopped working [21:43] Guest1, modprobe -r ath5k ; modprobe ath5k seems to help sometime, ... [21:43] lindsaymobil22, I have a combination of the windows boot loader and a bootloader called Chameleon, no grub at all :) [21:43] o yeah, chameleon, ur a hackintosher? [21:43] lindsaymobil22, aye, but legally as I'm an apple employee :) [21:43] Guest1, on my A1 (I assume that you are also talking about an A110L) not even the ndiswrapped Windows drivers work reliably, ... [21:43] u can hackintosh if u work for apple??? [21:44] ive never heard that one === zui is now known as zui_ [21:44] list [21:44] lindsaymobil22, please stop using "u" for you, thanks [21:44] lindsaymobil22, you should check out the employee's TOS when purchasing licensed apple software some time :) [21:44] oh, sorry [21:44] trying the Karmik solution now... [21:44] <_blackwater_> FirstSgt so the xorg.conf file is there maybe it's not readable by the nvinstaller, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Then re-run the nvidia-installer. [21:44] i will do [21:44] lindsaymobil22, the only thing we can't get is "Phone support" [21:44] lindsaymobil22: well she/he is apparnatly on a mobile phone, according to the name, so no wonder I guess [21:45] yeah, is that because of apple genius? [21:45] uh that was meant to go to ZykoticK9 [21:45] apple employees are ftl [21:45] yacc: nbo its an a0a150 model [21:45] ahhhh... by removing the file, it recreates it [21:45] sebsebseb, lindsaymobil22 ok i'll apologize if your on a phone :) Sorry lindsaymobil22 [21:45] JackWat: yeah Apple is a bit hrm in a bad way, however this is off topic [21:45] in a parsable way [21:45] no im not [21:45] <_blackwater_> in hopefully a re-readable format ues [21:45] im on my laptop [21:46] i work with 3 apple employees. they're all jerks. [21:46] yacc: where can you find hte number thingy (yours is A110L i believe) [21:46] just kidding. they're pretty cool. [21:46] the keyboard is very small [21:46] lindsaymobil22: oh so mobil in your name isn't meant to be mobile === zui_ is now known as zui [21:46] no [21:46] FirstSgt, solution to Parse error at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/nvidia-settings-issue-karmic [21:46] its to sound french, like mobeel [21:46] What are the chances that I have malware thats making Karmic slow and weird? [21:46] im going to take a ride in the lindsay mobil [21:46] its a nickname i use [21:46] vroom vroom [21:46] ZykoticK9: I think I got it. [21:46] ownlife: about 0 [21:46] I have 2 hard drives of the same brand, both SATA, both NTFS. I am copying 153 GB of things from one to the other. The transfer starts at 70 MB/s, then falls to only 4 mb/s. This is unacceptable. How can I speed it up? I am open to formatting one of them to a different filesystem, but Windows and Ubuntu must be able to read/write (not boot) from it. [21:46] ownlife: nearly 0% [21:46] ZykoticK9: saved fine. just gotta restart [21:46] !virus | ownlife [21:46] ownlife: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [21:46] thanks guys... it means a lot to us :) [21:47] <_blackwater_> that's essentially the same process. [21:47] Antani_01: how is your IOwait looking>? [21:47] JackWat: How would I check this? [21:47] Thanks! [21:47] ownlife: np [21:47] !ca [21:47] Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [21:47] Antani_01: you can see if your process is stuck in D stat by using top [21:47] what edtiting software would you guys reccomend for videos on ubuntu? i have heard good things about kdenlive, but supposedly thats only for KDE [21:48] Someone could help me with dosemu config please? thanks. [21:48] why is there a canadian ubuntu? for french canadians? [21:48] lindsaymobil22: there's kino, but 10.04 will come with pittvi (or whatever it's called) by default [21:48] does anyone know if there is possible to get more docklets to docky? [21:48] lindsaymobil22: plus you can install that program into 9.10 [21:48] i saw that pittvi, it looked good [21:48] <_pg_> so i set up a vnc connection to my home computer, and it worked, but since I had to restart the computer, It no longer works-is this because I have to launch the vnc server each time it reboots? it is headless [21:48] lindsaymobil22, what's this "installation size" refer too? it's currently set to 17Gb by default which is a bit overkill for ANY OS to need this much space to install lmao [21:48] I would like a workspace-changer etc.. [21:49] mobil* ? [21:49] lindsaymobil22: I think both programs are only really for basic video editing [21:49] can i use pittvi in 9.04 [21:49] ? [21:49] lindsaymobil22: probably [21:49] lindsaymobil22: well yes I expect so, it just maybe isn't in the repo [21:49] i'll check the repositorys [21:49] ubotto: to my understanding, due to the way unix protects the root account, it is much more difficult as the hackers will only see the user accounts (normally), unless user is careless and operates his ubuntu as root. This is normally difficult. [21:49] JackWat: One sec, i will start the transfer. [21:49] I have a little problem: I'm running 10.04 and it doesn't detect that I'm in a Laptop (and Power Manager doesnt show battery info). But if I check through "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info" I'm able to see battery Info :/ [21:50] !lucid | jlldn [21:50] jlldn: 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 [21:50] ZykoticK9, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/52930 [21:50] sebsebseb, same in karmic [21:50] did someone ask my wubi install size? [21:50] Coming back to the virus topic, there is really no point in installing anti virus like avast! [21:50] why is this thing downloading amd64-bit version of ubuntu if I have an intel i7 cpu? [21:50] JackWat: I can no longer mount my backup partition see http://paste.ubuntu.com/422999/ [21:50] ownlife: true [21:50] sylr, sorta what i said about the different copy/paste buffers isn't it ;) [21:51] Hi. Im having some problems when trying to use dosemu. I've mounted a windows XP unit using /mount -t smbfs -o username=name //ip/c$ /folder <-- This works fine, i can enter this folder. But when i try to use dosemu i have this error: Invalid drive F:. The config file is this: http://pastebin.com/8bz5c3xZ I dont know which is my error. Thanks in advance [21:51] jlldn: right, but even so, if your on 10.04 now, you should be really getting support in the other channel, untill Lucid gets offically released on Thursday [21:51] Boom! [21:51] JackWat: So is there anything else I can try? I don't think the problem is IOwait... [21:51] ZykoticK9, yep [21:51] Antani_01: that error makes it look like you have hardware failure [21:51] did you run a fsck? [21:51] if someone did ask my wubi install size it is 20GB [21:51] eeeh chkdsk i guess if its an ntfs [21:52] holy! [21:52] 20Gb install size/! [21:52] i need space [21:52] JackWat: No... And also, it is a brand new drive with no Windows on it, just a 1 TB NTFS partition... [21:52] sebsebseb, it was just a point of reference :) [21:52] i use the net alot [21:52] so my cache will build up! [21:52] JackWat: I got it yesterday [21:52] I opted for the 3Gb install option [21:52] and i save alot of things [21:52] not sure what it does [21:52] Antani_01: it? or them? they are two devices involved correct? [21:52] plus im not gonna sue the windows space anyway! [21:52] lindsaymobil22: 20GB for Ubuntu should be more than enough space, unless you fill up the space with big data [21:52] use* [21:53] Antani_01: ah i see. error is on sdb1 [21:53] My system feels slow and after 2 hours of runtime, it consumes 3/4 of total memory - without any applications running! [21:53] JackWat: I have 2 SATA hard drives. One is 500 GB, the other is 1 TB. The 1 TB I got yesterday, and I am copying to. [21:53] Is this caused by the fglrx memory leak? [21:53] oh so that "Installation Size" thing refers to how much of the HDD you want to use for Ubuntu? [21:53] well i have a 139GB windows partition, so i have around 85.7GB left now, i had 105GB before wubi [21:53] lindsaymobil22: as far as I know you can't even save to your Windows partition from Wubi by the way, only read it [21:53] lindsaymobil22: which is ashame in a way [21:53] JackWat: There is nothing important on it, I could simply reformat it now. Have any suggestions for a filesystem (maybe a faster one)? [21:54] lindsaymobil22: since then you could also use the Windows space for something [21:54] Antani_01: i believe ntfs is only used for windows boxes. i'm using ext4 [21:54] lindsaymobil22: if you had done a proper dual boot, you could mount and access the WIndows partition and save to it and such [21:54] however, i dont know if that will resolve your copying problem [21:54] JackWat: Okay, well I need something both Ubuntu and Windows can read. [21:54] Hi, i've a problem. I've to enable webcam in a flash site (chatroulette) but the button 'enable' doesn't work. How can I fix it??? Thanks!! [21:54] u can access windows files from wubi, i do it, its just not in the same place [21:54] the ntfs is your filesystem [21:54] lindsaymobil22: you can write to it from Wubi? [21:54] lol... so i have the 2nd monitor working... but all I have is an X cursor :P [21:54] lindsaymobil22: put files on the WIndows partition? [21:55] to under : last flash package is ok ? [21:55] i cannot drag windows over to it [21:55] u need to go to filesystem\\host and there u go! [21:55] i have this issue Alert: /host/Ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist.Dropping to a shell. [21:55] lindsaymobil22: right, but I think that's read only [21:55] FirstSgt, be sure your using Twinview and not Sepearte X [21:55] manfred, what?? [21:55] JackWat: Okay, and this error? If it matters, I used Gparted to format. [21:55] Antani_01: no clue. google it . :P heh [21:55] JackWat: Okay one sec [21:55] did you install the last adobe flash version ? [21:55] i was able to do it with persistent flash [21:56] ZykoticK9: no, its separate, i can move my mouse to the right, and i see it swap over to the other screen [21:56] lindsaymobil22: also I would suggest backing up any important data else where, for example an external hard drive, hard disks can just fail, but also Wubi sometimes goes wrong on people [21:56] ZykoticK9: I just can't move windows over there. [21:56] dont get me frightened lol [21:56] FirstSgt, if it's separate then you won't be able to move windows over! [21:56] any body know my Q ? [21:56] Anyone knows a webcam recording application? [21:56] Antani_01: sorry im on a call :P heh [21:56] !info cheese [21:56] ZykoticK9: so that settings is just so I can see a blank screen over there :) [21:56] cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam.

Version 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 2423 kB, installed size 7144 kB [21:56] i might convert wubi to a full install, im liking ubuntu's speed, ive never ran it at full speed before [21:57] erUSUL: thanks [21:57] JackWat: Okay, I fixed the drive. Now, what should I do about the copying issue? [21:57] lindsaymobil22: its worth it. [21:57] lindsaymobil22: heh, well it tends to work well, but I guess when people uninstall it sometimes, they can't boot WIndows after. Can't just put in a Live CD and fix an Ubuntu install or Live USB when it's Wubi. [21:57] yeah [21:57] I don't want the only other option which is "twin view" [21:57] FirstSgt, if you have separate enable - I'd think you should see a fun Gnome panel on both monitors -- but with separate you can't move things between them. [21:57] Antani_01: you have to figure out whats causing the problem. [21:57] what image editing programs are recommended (gimp is too complicated for what I intend to do -- just remove some texts in a picture)? [21:57] lindsaymobil22: there is a program that can convert Wubi to a partitioend install, I have never used it, and it seems someone was here earlier that treid it, and ended up with problems [21:57] ZykoticK9: using KDE. I dont know if that matters [21:57] FirstSgt, that's s/fun/full [21:57] JackWat: Yes... I just burnt a live CD of Lucid. Should I try it? [21:58] JackWat: For the copying I mean? [21:58] Hi, i've a problem. I've to enable webcam in a flash site (chatroulette) but the button 'enable' doesn't work. How can I fix it??? Thanks!! [21:58] FirstSgt, don't use KDE so not sure how it would work [21:58] lindsaymobil22: wubi should not be converted to a static install [21:58] howcome [21:58] thieusoai: ah right yeah, well there's F-Spot for basic editing and programs like that, and Gimp won't be in the default install for 10.04. well people that upgraded from 9.10 that had it installed will still have it installed I guess [21:58] thieusoai: or from 8.04 that had it installed [21:58] lindsaymobil22: because it installs on a virtual file system on a windows file system, that is not a wise choice [21:58] do i have to enable Xinerama [21:58] FirstSgt, twinview is nvidia's version of xinerama [21:58] they say it's possible on the ubuntu site with certain versions [21:58] thieusoai: uh don't get 10.04 yet by the way, the final is Thursday [21:59] ZykoticK9: but Xinerama is unchecked for that screen [21:59] FirstSgt, you can try it!? [21:59] sebsebseb: I'll check out fspot [21:59] thanks [21:59] When I want to ask a question here and it is kind of long, is there an alternate method I should use to ask it besides sending it here? [21:59] ZykoticK9: I's only askin to avoid 8 restarts :) [21:59] thieusoai: you probably already have F-Spot installed [21:59] Majora2: forums are quite good [21:59] Majora2: ubuntuforums [21:59] brasilian [22:00] lindsaymobil22: right ok [22:00] so, the ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso is the ISO to use for someoen who has an Intel i7 CPU right? [22:00] FirstSgt, as I said "twinview is nvidia's version of xinerama" I'm really not sure about your KDE/xinerama stuff. Good luck. [22:00] i have to go will be back here tomorrow if i need to [22:00] JackWat: BRB going to try the Live CD [22:00] erUSUL: Thanks [22:00] how do i enable ctrl+alt+backspace? [22:00] xomp: that one is the one to use for anyone with a 64bit proccessor. oh and soon that will be the old one, the 10.04 will be the new one instead, since that's being released on Thursday [22:00] !dontzap > FirstSgt [22:00] FirstSgt, please see my private message [22:01] how can i find out the name of my wifi card?

[22:05] xomp: it's better to start with 10.04 and not upgrade from 8.04 [22:05] gotten, me 2 [22:05] FirstSgt, thanks for the offer - but I think i'm all good ;) [22:05] xomp: in your case it's better to just start with 10.04 after it's been released [22:05] ZykoticK9: :)... adios then for now [22:05] we have already discussed all these questions [22:05] :) [22:05] OerHeks, we are not few... [22:05] sebsebseb, yeah, I run a Gameserver on my Linode heh, the downtime I would have to live through for a clean install is going to be painfull on my gaming community heh [22:05] i think its better to download 10.04 directly [22:06] or upgrade the 9.10 [22:06] hi [22:06] I am trying to setup pam with an ldap server using tls - ldapsearch -x -ZZ from the client works fine, however sudo getent passwd segfaults… any idea what might cause this?

Not going to split hairs about this as I feel like I'm feeding a troll. [22:11] barbarella: sure, but as far as I know most of those bugs won't get fixed, unless security updates, and so instead got to wait untill the next version of Ubuntu.

[23:11] System-->Preferences-->Main Menu and add to the panel [23:11] adduser name.surename gives: http://pastie.org/936302 is "." not allowed and can it make trouble to force it to that name with a dot in it? [23:11] lsmod shows the 8129 module loaded, though.... [23:11] err. 8139. [23:12] adac, use sudo adduser [23:12] CLI not GUI :) [23:12] mozillanerd: yes i have done this x times... add entry or add menu? [23:12] eoeas, i cant use virtualbox, i dont want to use windows. If i virtualize its the same that install in the hard drive so... I already read the howto thanks... but i cant figure out how to solve my problem. [23:12] Sia--, of course sudo, I did use that === Trek is now known as CaptainTrek [23:12] * canthus13 gonna throw in a liveCD and see what happens.

[23:13] canthus13: what does lspci say about the nics ? [23:14] deposito: What type of network sharing is on your netwok? [23:14] now how do I list the packages I have installed? [23:14] DasEi: Nothing in particular. It identifies them correctly, no 'unknown device'. [23:14] adac, use something like that 'adduser -m -G users,lp,audio,video,power -s /bin/bash adac [23:14] PHLAK: see: [23:14] !clone [23:14] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:14] anyway. I'm gonna try that liveCD. [23:14] PHLAK: or dpkg -i [23:15] sorry adac "useradd -m -G users,audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,power -s /bin/bash adac " [23:15] feuerblitz: do you get to System-->Preferences-->Main menu? [23:15] mozillanerd: yes [23:15] sareau: 99% sure using the newest driver fixed things up. Now I know where to start next time ;D [23:15] eoeas, i dont know if its the correct answer. I have a eth LAN. All pcs with xp. One is the "server" its share his C drive complete. [23:15] how long it takes for my pkg to appear on my PPA after uploaded ? [23:16] eoeas, now im traying to migrate to ubuntu, but only the clients for now. So im in a ubuntu 9.10 [23:16] I'm having trouble with my wifi continually disconencting out when I use wpa2. Anybody got a clue? [23:17] PHLAK: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages is nice, as you get a browsable file [23:17] I have a 2007-8ish 24" iMac, anybody have any experience of loading Ubuntu on this thing? :D [23:17] chrismsnz: it should work quite well - it worked ok on my macbook when I made the mistake :) [23:17] deposito: Maybe Dosemu doesn't support SMB, if you are using gnome, see if Dosemu works with Gnome-VFS (virtual file system) [23:18] hi. vlc won't accept my settings for the subtitle font. i've set Helvetica Neue as the font but it only changes the OSD text like info/warnings from vlc itself. what can i do about this? [23:18] DasEi: thanks, last thing (I think) how do I specify which repo to install a package from if it's available from more than one [23:18] feuerblitz: Do you see 'Wine' as a selection. If not there are more serious problems. Under Wine you should see Programs, under programs accessories.etc [23:18] anyone else have trouble getting rythum box to show album art? [23:18] mozillanerd: there is no wine, as i deleted it there (and this is precisely what i want to undo) [23:18] all bots ? [23:18] linuxeh: i've run ubuntu on my macbook pro before, had some problems with the trackpad with slow tracking/acceleration - i couldn't get it right :( [23:18] how long it takes for my pkg to appear on my PPA after uploaded ? [23:19] PHLAK: hmm, I would then manually down it by wget and install by hand, sure dpkg and apt can do that, will have to read it's manual then , idk [23:19] mmmk [23:19] eoeas, how could i check that, where could i read about it? [23:19] deposito: Even I have that problem sometimes loading things from sftp (Gnome-VFS) [23:20] phlak : next update will always fetch the latest it can find [23:20] deposito: 1 sec .. [23:20] DasEi: you mean in 10.04? [23:20] phlak: you will have to lock it then , too === thomasn_ is now known as iAmerikan [23:20] eoeas, yes no problem. ill google Dosemu works with Gnome-VFS (virtual file system) [23:20] feuerblitz: I would reinstall without formating the /home partition, and being careful with your Windows partition(s), but do format the / parition as well. [23:21] phlak:that's not distro-related, an apt-get update/grade will always fetch the latest package it can find from sources.list === KindTwo46 is now known as KindOne [23:21] mozillanerd: didn't understand. you mean reinstall ubuntu? [23:21] piju: it depends on how many packages are in line in front of you, you can check the status on your ppa page [23:22] i've come to spy on your progress in here, PHLAK. :-p [23:22] DasEi: right... [23:22] trism, i have uploaded my pkgs 10minutes ago. it doesnt appear till now [23:22] EvanDotPro: mmmk... [23:22] feuerblitz: yes reinstall ubuntu. BUt since I have problems with 9.10, I would reinstall 9.04. [23:23] piju: that is normal, it usually takes at least 10 minutes, but it can take much longer if it is busy [23:23] other than reinstalling, is there any way to move from 32 to 64bit ? [23:23] trism, thanks [23:23] mozillanerd: but "only" because i deleted a menu entry i have to install the whole thing? [23:23] feuerblitz: if you have important stuff in /home, save it to a CD [23:23] ok [23:23] PHLAK: to prevent this , Run synaptic, find the package, highlight it, then from the menu, choose 'package' then 'lock package' [23:25] so i was just trying to install the 9.10 server from disk, and got a failure on the base system install [23:25] nphase, are you check the iso ? [23:26] mozillanerd: thanks, i will try to reinstall [23:26] for example md5 ..etc? [23:26] Sia--: ill try it [23:26] DasEi: you mean "Lock Version"? [23:27] PHLAK: yes, if you need a certain one but want to update sys [23:27] ok [23:27] eoeas, i have to go now. ill read about it. If i couldnt fix it ill ask you again tomorrow. Thanks a lot. [23:27] bye [23:27] Sia--: yep, it matches the md5 on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [23:28] Sia--: i wish there was more info [23:28] PHLAK: that's like what we do with the yum-priorities and exclude=php* on our centOS servers.

In Jaunty and Lucid, however, there are no such problems. Any ideas? [23:44] theadmin: Yeah, sometimes some ops are a bit ban heavy, but most of the time i like the network and most of the channels. The exception is #linux (Ananke and psijack, i thought those where cancelled:P) [23:44] theadmin: they are different versions of Transmission [23:45] Brimstones: I usually stick around this channel only... say, #ubuntu-offtopic is a huge mess most of times. [23:45] Hey, is there any way to monitor a process' file handle activity?
