[00:00] nope, Ill look again Losha [00:00] itilious: cron [00:00] DasEi: I think I'm gonna completely reinstall. I was thinking about it anyway. [00:00] drewsus: Here it is again: I would expect timestamp changes to take effect on new invocations of sudo, and not affect existing ones... [00:00] i have a script that i'm told will disable compiz/metacity upon remote desktop connect and re-enable after disconnect, but i'm not sure how to setup/install the script [00:00] Is there a way to get a sound to play when someone types my name in Empathy? I really liked that about pidgin [00:00] Typos_King: inotify seems to be what I was looking for, thanks :) [00:00] canthus13: installer is fast, but a common rtl shouldn't be the reason, dmesg and syslog are further steps on the internal sys [00:01] h00k: Dont waste your energy on trivial things. Evil you want gone, not friendly smalltime chatter. [00:01] ah, okay that makes sense, thank you Losha. That might be why I wasn't seeing a change [00:01] RegressLess: just get the .so file and dump it at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:01] itilious: where is the script? [00:01] DasEi: It's not a terribly important machine. It's mostly for playing and breaking things. I just want it back up and running on the network again so I can play some more. :) [00:01] Brimstones: there is a channel dedicated to smalltime chatter. This doesn't happen to be it. [00:01] howdy, having trouble with sound in ubuntu 9.10. it works in 9.04, but to no avail in 9.10. and no, it's not muted. [00:01] Lol, "jesus has disconnected" [00:01] TViYH: hammer works. [00:02] lol navatwo stfu [00:02] hell be back in 3 days RegressLess [00:02] canthus13: so there is the next rc-user testing the leaks of current x then ?! [00:02] navatwo: eeeew don't mention windows stuff here [00:02] !language | TViYH [00:02] TViYH: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:02] howdy, having trouble with sound in ubuntu 9.10. it works in 9.04, but to no avail in 9.10. and no, it's not muted. [00:02] h00k: *social* is not anywhere near social. [00:02] ... [00:02] RegressLess: drewsus: :-) [00:02] DasEi: Nope. [00:02] theadmin: :) ... now I stop spamming. [00:02] bridgeguy: ... yeah, I've read on inotify :) === k[a]tie is now known as katie11 [00:04] ...brr. I can't get xmessage to display a message on russian. [00:04] can anyone help then? [00:04] TViYH: Usually takes a bit of waiting until someone answers [00:04] alright then o.o [00:05] TViYH: Might be worth to post on forums, dunno, or report a bug on LP [00:05] alright thanks..wait, LP? [00:05] TViYH: The Launchpad [00:05] okay thanks [00:06] viagre 192.169.2.5:5900 will not connect to the remote machine on my network. Any ideas what I may be missing? [00:06] ringer: an "n"? [00:06] TViYH: sorry to tell you this, but sound problems are probably the number one reported issue on 9.X. [00:06] lol [00:06] I don't see on the adobe site where it specifies a 64 bit version [00:06] Hello, anyone know what the ubuntu equivalent to gentoo's /etc/conf.d/local.start|stop is? [00:06] 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? [00:07] theadmin, yeh - sorry - a typo - I really did enter 'vinagre' [00:07] TViYH: often recompiling alsa brought sound back to me [00:07] mluser-home: dunno. What does that stuff do on gentoo? [00:07] ringer: Okay then dunno :D [00:07] DasEi / Losha: are they better in 10.04? [00:07] Losha: its a script that is run at system start and also at system stop [00:07] TViYH: we don't know yet... [00:07] o.o well okay. [00:07] i might try it out later. [00:08] Hello, in the process of installing Ubuntu 9.10 minimal. I have one SSD 30GB, and one magnetic HDD 250. I would like to put everything other than /home on the SSD. Is it safe to assume that if I create a full 30GB / partition on the SSD, and create a /home on the magnetic drive, that the SSD partition will not include the /home as well? [00:08] TViYH: can't say , as my boxes do fine since jaunty, on all further distros [00:08] Losha: "we" is too collective, there are some testers over here, too, me for instance. [00:08] Help! Half-drunk guy needs help finding 64 bit flash plugin! [00:08] mluser-home: /etc/rc.local is run at system start. Dunno of any handy script that's run at system shutdown, you'd need a K script in /etc/rc*.d... [00:08] Losha: thanks [00:09] theadmin: pardon me. I meant the "royal" we, as in, "...we are not amused..." [00:09] norbi905: that's a nice and good idea, and yes, use alternate installer, no prob (or even do it later) [00:09] Losha: As in "I"? [00:09] theadmin: that would be the one... [00:09] what happens to the ubuntu countdowns when it goes past the date? lol [00:09] Losha: Well, :D [00:09] TViYH: They say "It's here!" [00:10] oh alright lol [00:10] TViYH: you won't be able to 'date' him anymore :P~ [00:10] :P [00:10] RegressLess: install ubuntu-restricted-extras for a bunch more, exceed multimedia, be serverd [00:10] served* [00:10] TViYH: they release it anyway, ready or not... [00:10] well of course they do, it's limited to a month [00:11] after reading everywhere on the internet, i could not find what this means. Failed to read vcn 0x1bd: Input/output error [00:11] Anyone here know what that means [00:11] ? [00:11] ok...Losha: wnat to help now? :d [00:11] Antani_01: Well, some memory reading weirdness [00:11] DasEi: Thanks, interestingly enough, when I created the / partition on the SSD, I went to create a partition on the 250GB magnetic drive, and it chose /home automatically. That's always a good sign :) [00:11] Antani_01, any context? [00:11] mylisto: sure, can you explain what you're trying to do? [00:12] I've got a 5.8gig file, need to split it up for my fat32 ext drive [00:12] poutine: Yes. I try copying some stuff to the hard drive. It copies a bit. The copying stops, just freezes. Gnome-panel and nautilus both freeze. I get the error in the syslog. The drive is a SATA drive that I bought yesterday. [00:12] norbi905: one can always set up /home elsewhere in the later, too (just correct fstab then) [00:12] Anybody have any idea why transmission won't connect to oh so many peers? [00:13] mylisto: can the splits be anywhere, or are them some restrictions on where they can go? Is it just data or what? [00:13] Antani_01, this isn't a VM eh [00:13] RegressLess: getting by ? [00:13] poutine: No [00:13] theadmin: required transmission, PEX, etc etc [00:13] Losha: don't think so. Its a .vdi file thats in .VirtualBox/VDI [00:13] required encryption* === The_Toxic_Mite is now known as iPing [00:14] poutine: I have two hard drives. Both SATA. Destination drive NTFS. Source drive ext-something. [00:14] mylisto: I wouldn't assume you can just split the file into pieces. Are you sure virtual box will handle that? [00:14] DasEi: This is true. However, at this point I do not have a swap partition. I have 4GB of RAM. Is it always recommended to do swap, even if I dont think I'll use all my RAM? If it is recommended, i'll put the swap partition on the SSD as well. === mrcurrington is now known as mcurrington [00:14] Losha: It won't until you merge em back [00:14] Losha: can't I split it up with some kind of achriving program, then re-attach them later? [00:14] Splitting with dd is one idea, but merging back like that... [00:15] Is it possible to install a i386 package on Ubuntu 64bits? Will it work? (the package in question is adobe reader) [00:15] mylisto: you can split, then re-merge, but I thought fat32 had a 2G limit, so how will you do a re-merge? [00:15] norbi905: I always set up swap, but then in the later reduce swapiness at sufficient ram, this way the sys is fast, but even cope with 'horror loads [00:15] norbi905: swap is needed for hibernation, etc [00:15] Losha: 4G [00:15] Losha: whoops, forgot to mention...reinstalling ubuntu - so I will copy them back to this laptop (on a livecd) and re-merge them [00:15] Losha: He might just use that thing to bring it to another computer [00:15] theadmin: same problem, he has a 5.8G file... [00:16] norbi905: if you want to hibernate, swap is needed, right, beter double of ram [00:16] better* [00:16] poutine: Are you still here? You aren't in the contact list... [00:16] yo yo yo [00:16] mylisto: ok, in that case, you can split using 'split' and re-merge using 'cat'. Please stand by for commands [00:16] Okay... [00:17] Antani_01, I don't know, I'd probably take the hardware back [00:17] norbi905: I don't think you need one at 4 g for regualr use, but can have it on the 250 for more spare or hibernation puposes [00:17] over and out - standby process started... [00:17] duli: I see no reason why it wouldn't myself, 64bit is meant to be backward compatible for 32bit code, on the other hand, adobe reader is piece of junk, I'd rather veer you to look for an alternative pdf reader hehe, like Okular, or Evince [00:17] DasEi, theadmin : Thanks for the heads up on the hibernation, as I never really turn of my computers, and depend on hibernation. Phew, you guys just saved me some headaches :) [00:17] I try copying some stuff to the hard drive. It copies a bit. The copying stops, just freezes. Gnome-panel and nautilus both freeze. I get the error in the syslog. The drive is a SATA drive that I bought yesterday. The error in the syslog is Apr 26 18:47:16 john-desktop ntfs-3g[3292]: Failed to read vcn 0x1bd: Input/output error [00:17] Typos_King: whats up with adobe reader? [00:17] Hi everyone. I've got a question regarding snmpwalk, which times out on localhost (8.04 LTS Server). [00:18] ActionParsnip: is trash, bloatware, IMO [00:18] DasEi, theadmin , although swap isn't that hard to create at a later time either, but hey. Might as well get it done the right way now. [00:18] norbi905: go with 8-10 g on the 250 then, reduce swapiness as you got for g, everything is fine then [00:18] Typos_King: its not that massive [00:18] Hey folks, I'm planning a release party for 10.04 - And i need an event title! It needs to involve sex and violence and be really catchy! Any ideas? [00:18] mylisto: split --bytes=3GB should do it, and give you two files. Run it in a directory on the fat32 filesystem.... [00:18] vex and siolence [00:18] Typos_King: yes, I thought so. But when I try to install a i386.deb package, it says it's the wrong arch. Anyway, evince seems to be unable to open some pdfs I have with good quality, that's why I'm look for alternatives... [00:18] Typos_King: openoffice is bloated [00:18] Antani_01: Can you check the drive's health in System > Administration > Disk Utility? [00:18] Yes, I did. It is fine. [00:19] mylisto: try and stay on topic till we're done, ok? === narc_ is now known as chilna [00:19] anony: totally offtopic. [00:19] duli: you can install ia32-libs and force install the deb, it will work [00:19] ? [00:19] Jordan_U: Actually, The Disk Utility doesn't work on my hard drive. It says smart is not available. I used gsmartcontrol instead. [00:19] ActionParsnip: heheh, openoffice I think runs faster than adobe reader, Adobe's last good version was 5.5, after that, they ruined it, 50mbs or so just for a reader, is utter ridiculous [00:19] Ok, so where's the ubuntu room? [00:20] ActionParsnip: hum, ok. thanks a lot. [00:20] Typos_King: its still 500Mb, abiword is about 12mb and gnumeric is aboutthe same [00:20] anony: #ubuntu+1 [00:20] I think it is #ubuntu-offtopic... Not sure though. [00:20] ok Losha: sorry [00:20] duli: there's Okular, or Foxit [00:20] ...Why not evince, it's just perfect :) [00:20] How can I switch my gcc version to 4.3 instead of 4.4 ? [00:20] I didn't know h00k was an op.... [00:20] Antani_01: And the resluts from gsmartcontrol? [00:20] Typos_King: nice, trying them out. :) === zach is now known as Guest56205 [00:20] Jordan_U: You want me to paste all the results?

[00:21] Any idea on where this weird key naming comes from? I.e. ctrl = ^, Alt = M- , bad key = Super, etc [00:21] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/423059/ [00:21] theadmin: ttys [00:21] theadmin: The super key is obviously the one with the cape :) [00:22] Abandoning 9.10. Going back to 9.04. [00:22] Losha: give me a few [00:22] theadmin: ctrl and alt are older than I am, I think they came from emacs and the lisp machines of the 70's [00:22] mozillanerd: Why not just wait for Lucid... [00:22] mylisto: take your time... [00:22] DasEi: OK, did that and I'm still having the same problem. Youtube pause, volume, etc. doesn't work. Any ideas? [00:22] theadmin: What did you think that symbol was? [00:22] Losha: Well, i know that "M" stands for "Meta"... [00:22] theadmin: or, TTY [00:22] hi all === hexdump__ is now known as binary0011 [00:22] ActionParsnip: openoffice is indeed rather sizeable, however it has a bit more tools than Abiword, and it's an Office suite, not just 2 apps alone, it has about 5 apps, including vector drawing and database, plus it also has scripting language [00:23] RegressLess: doesn't work ? can you play flash now ? [00:23] !details [00:23] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:23] this is probably a stupid question with an easy solution but here it goes... [00:23] ok Losha: now I sit and wait - want to see if I did the correct thing [00:23] Typos_King: depends on what you need huh. if you only use writer then its a waste of space [00:23] DasEi: yes, but the buttons don't work. [00:23] what do I need to do with bzr/SSH to download development branches from launchpad's bazaar server? [00:23] ubottu: doesntwork | RegressLess [00:23] RegressLess: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [00:23] ActionParsnip: if you just need something to write reports and stuff, sure Abiword works better [00:23] RegressLess: On one of my Ubuntu 9.10 machines, flash behaves exactly the same way. It plays, but sometimes the controls dont work. [00:23] I've tried to use simple scan to scan one of my old magazines, but it says that my scanner cannot be found. [00:23] Losha: split: 3gb: invalid number of bytes [00:23] ... [00:23] RegressLess: browser/distro ? [00:23] i am having problems putting songs on my ipod [00:23] italian? [00:23] ActionParsnip: indeed, it's so, I used to use TextMaker, which is an even lighter wordprocessor [00:24] I have tried lucid beta with same problems as 9.10. It appears that the entire 9.10 and 10 are heftier than 9.04. 9.04 ran OK on my machine. [00:24] ubottu: it | alessandro_ [00:24] alessandro_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [00:24] mylisto: try it with upper case GB, it's an old command... [00:24] Tho my printer is a printer/scanner. I can print just fine from it. If somebody has a solution or possibly an alternate program that I can use to scan documents from my printer please msg me. Thank you. [00:24] ActionParsnip: can't beat TextMaker and PlanMaker, both are good apps, and small too [00:24] DasEi: firefox, Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit [00:24] Typos_King: but openoffice is bundled in as default but can be seen as bloated without much effort [00:24] split: cannot open `/media/disk/home/mylisto/.VirtualBox/VDI$/Antonio.vdi' for reading: No such file or directory [00:24] does it matter that its in a hidden directory? [00:25] mylisto: uh, what the heck is that dollar? o_O [00:25] Jordan_U: In case you didn't see it... http://paste.ubuntu.com/423059/ [00:25] RegressLess: #ubuntu+1 correct channel, hmm, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:25] ActionParsnip: well, quoting a line from a movie ----> " I rather have and no need it, than need it and no have it " =P [00:25] no idea theadmin: [00:25] binary0011, try Applications > Graphics > Xsane [00:25] mylisto: not at all, use tab to complete the filenames so you know the file is there (and you are using the right case) [00:25] I've located sane [00:25] mylisto: shouldn't matter that it's hidden. What does ls -l /media/disk/home/mylisto/.VirtualBox/VDI$/Antonio.vdi say? [00:25] I am seeking recommendations for ideas to expand the userbase and promote the use of Linux and Ubuntu. I have a release party to plan in 350 hours, and still need a title. [00:25] ringer: ha thanks [00:26] RegressLess:doing same in my vm right now [00:26] why doesnt ubuntu install ready to play mp3s? [00:26] doing* [00:26] Antani_01: Can you try running chkdsk in windows to be sure the filesystem isn't corrupt? [00:26] anony: check out #ubuntu-offtopic, sorry, this is a support channel [00:26] Typos_King: i'd rather have something slick and quick with minimal fuss, based on that theory you may as well install every app on the repos [00:26] anony: 350 hours? [00:26] binary0011, I was in the same boat. Downloaded loads of stuff - then found out I had it all along! [00:26] itilious copyright issues [00:26] itilious: Because they're a commercial file format, and ubuntu is Free. [00:26] heheh [00:26] itilious: non gpl [00:26] !restricted [00:26] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:26] zen933k: yes, 350 hours. i'm having a rel party and i know almost everything i'm going to do but i need a good title for it, that involves the word lucid. [00:26] itilious: Because in crazy countries like the US you have to pay royalties to be able to play mp3's. [00:26] ringer: know what's weird, I tried using the HP NX215 printer drivers for my printer and it just kept on spitting out blank paper. [00:27] ls: cannot access /media/disk/home/mylisto/.VirtualBox/VDI$/Antonio.vdi: No such file or directory [00:27] anony: it's still off topic for this channel.. [00:27] DasEi: Please, when you use factoids specify who they go to, as in "!stuff | nick", or else it becomes a mess [00:27] ringer: I switched to NX300 series drivers and it worked just fine. [00:27] Jordan_U: Windows is broken... But I CAN reformat the drive. I have nothing important on there. I fear the problem may be caused by me using Gparted to format to NTFS. By the way, is there another filesystem that Windows and Ubuntu have read/write access to (No need to boot from it)? A better, faster one perhaps? [00:27] mylisto: then you have the file name wrong, I think. Where did you get it from? [00:27] binary0011, so you sorted now? [00:27] then without that stupid $ sign - ls: cannot access say?: No such file or directory -rw------- 1 1000 1000 6197125632 2010-04-25 23:11 /media/disk/home/mylisto/.VirtualBox/VDI/Antonio.vdi [00:27] anony, give away ubuntu cd's? [00:27] Jordan_U: Also, if there isn't a better filesystem, should I use something other than Gparted to format to NTFS? [00:27] do i need to just install ubuntu restricted extras to be able to play mp3s via banshee? [00:28] ringer: damnit I tried scanning for scanners and it's a no go [00:28] theadmin: ok [00:28] anony: I think it's more of an offtopic issue, maybe you should try that channel [00:28] mylisto: Are you trying to start a vm? Sorry I didn't follow your question/issue from the start. [00:28] ringer: yeah the printer works, but I'm trying to figure out how to get this scanner operational [00:28] itilious: yes, that should be fine [00:28] itilious: this or win32-codecs [00:28] Antani_01: GParted will serve this task perfectly, but you need ntfsprogs [00:28] anony: #ubuntu-irc would be a good place [00:28] !info win32-codecs [00:28] theadmin: I have it. [00:28] Package win32-codecs does not exist in karmic [00:28] ActionParsnip: I must say, that many folks will have the same opinion about MS office, being a bloat and all, but I must say, I use both MS office[ superb suite IMO] and open office, and they're both sizeable, and they're both very very useful, I wish it were smaller, yeah, but as you use them more you'd find features you won't find in Abiword or other apps, depending on what you're composing of course, for the regular JoeSi [00:28] binary0011, hmm - just trying to remember what I did to get scanner working. brb [00:28] Antani_01: Then go ahead. [00:28] It does not look to me that Canonical is looking at the 'General Help' forum. I will post about abandoning the effort [00:28] !ot | anony [00:28] anony: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:28] mylisto, this is the path: /media/disk/home/mylisto/.VirtualBox/VDI/Antonio.vdi [00:29] mylisto: if the name works with ls, it will work with split. You may need to be root i.e. use sudo [00:29] Antani_01: Gparted should be fine for creating an ntfs filesystem. There are drivers for windows to read and write ext3, but they don't support journaling (they are really ext2 drivers) [00:29] norbi905: no trying to split the vdi into smaller bits to fit on a fat32 drive [00:29] ringer: yeah I'm not sure what I did last time, but I had mine working a while ago too. [00:29] ringer: I'll try to log into gnome and see if it makes any difference. I'm using KDE right now [00:29] theadmin: Okay, I will try again. But I doubt it will work... This IM is also to Jordan_U [00:29] ringer: gnome is what it worked under last time. I'm going to give that shot. be back in just a moment [00:29] I do the split from the dir I want the file in, right? [00:29] hi [00:29] is there a way to know what using apt-get or apt-cache to know the changelog ? [00:30] mylisto: yes [00:30] Typos_King: still bloated though, adobe reader is not that bloated and if it does what the user needs that the other readers cannot then its needed rather than a "nice to have" like fat ole openoffice [00:30] mylisto: yes, that saves having to copy the pieces later... [00:30] kaushal: aptitude changelog package [00:30] Typos_King: I spend 60% of my day in Office 2007....I wish I had Office 2003 back......but with the extra colours and sort options in Excel 2007 :) [00:30] Typos_King: there is a drastic difference [00:30] ok [00:30] mylisto: split --bytes=3GB /media/disk/home/mylisto/.VirtualBox/VDI/Antonio.vdi [00:30] Yeah ok, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Remember the ubuntu principles, and remember to read the friendly manual. Also, i move that this channel be changed to #ubuntu-support . Bye. [00:30] mylisto: open another terminal in the same directory and you should be able to watch the split files growing... [00:30] argh. Stop the offtopic. Microsoft disscussion is not welcome here either as it increases bug 1 [00:31] bug #1 is so contrived [00:31] ActionParsnip: hehe, adobe is not a bloat? yeah.... in win32 I run a standalone app, foxit reader, does much more than adobe's, and is just 7mbs, 50mbs, 7mbs, big difference, [00:31] theadmin: Don't feed the trolls. [00:31] Typos_King: please move that discussion elsewhere [00:32] h00k: indeed [00:32] Typos_King: sure but if they do not do what is required and the adobe version does then it is justified [00:32] what is bug #1 ? [00:32] ActionParsnip: you as well. [00:32] looks like it may be working :d [00:32] h00k: i'm not wrong though, but ok [00:32] kaushal: something is using the 'lock' file for apt-get? [00:32] Losha: o look it up, i think its pretty pathetic personally [00:33] kernel panic [00:33] mylisto: you should see files name xaa (or similar) growing in size. When it gets to 3G it should start on file xab... [00:33] Losha: its making xaa files - thats the right thing isn't it? [00:33] ActionParsnip: you wrong? no way! [00:33] kernel panic [00:33] ok good :d [00:33] Losha, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 [00:33] Losha: "Microsoft has too much market share" [00:33] ? [00:33] effin stupid flood bots [00:33] Jordan_U: Hmm... check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/423062/ [00:34] LOL bug 1 [00:34] mylisto: you will end up with two files, one 3G named xaa and one 2.8G named xab. To bring them back, you'll just 'cat xaa xab > new_vdi_file' [00:34] What I'm worried about is that they still haven't fixed it :( [00:34] yo yo yo [00:34] ZykoticK9: theadmin: yeah, pretty sad... [00:35] Losha: Oh well, 10.04 seems like a huge "BOOM", it's so extremely simple... [00:35] theadmin: they decided to do a rewrite instead :-) [00:35] Please keep this channel on-topic, people. [00:35] theadmin: wanna go to offtopic and talk to me about how 10.04 testing is going? [00:36] i know this is not a support channel for banshee, but it does not recognize when my ipod is plugged in, do i need some sort of library for ubuntu? [00:36] Losha: Maybe in PM? :D [00:36] theadmin: coming up...

Empathy crashed [00:37] binary0011, sudo apt-get install gocr [00:37] Antani_01: No. [00:37] ringer: alright, thanks I'll give it a shot [00:37] Okay, well check out this paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/423062/ [00:37] Hi all. Got a question on if this is possible: I've got Karmic with OS X dual booted on a MacBook. I'm getting interested in penetration security, so I've downloaded an ISO of BackTrack 4. What I'm wondering is if I can blow apart my OS X partition, clear up the space, and install BackTrack 4 side by side with Karmic, without ruining any data on the Ubuntu partition? [00:37] ActionParsnip, sudo apt get gtkpod? [00:37] ringer: I'm using an HP NX215 printer/scanner [00:37] itilious: try: sudo apt-get install gtkpod [00:38] Is there a way I can control the bandwidth of certain traffic from my computer using a central program? [00:38] jsec: yes, it's possible. [00:38] !dualboot | jsec [00:38] jsec: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:38] ActionParsnip, rythmbox sees the ipod but banshee does not, do i need to set some option somewhere in ubuntu to simply have the ipod point to the right application? [00:38] !antivirus [00:38] binary0011, that shouldn't matter - gocr is character recognition - but it brings with it libraries that the scanner needs [00:38] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:38] ringer: cool, I'm giving it a go now. [00:39] And done, Ubuntu boot ~ 4sec :) [00:39] Quick question, Can I install 10.04RC on my netbook right now and when the final release gets launched in a few days just run some updates to get the final changes? [00:39] itilious: i dont use either, ipod is garbage but i know gtkpod can be used [00:39] !lucid | deanfx [00:39] deanfx: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [00:39] norbi905: try xpud, its waaaay faster [00:39] support for lucid is in #ubuntu+1 not here [00:40] oh ok [00:40] Sorry about that guys [00:40] deanfx: Yes, but that's kinda offtopic [00:40] ringer: sorry is gocr CLI program, er can I start it with GUI? [00:40] schultza, that's not completely true [00:40] hello [00:40] Jordan_U: And also, that has happened before, too. [00:40] ah alright. thanks for answering -- again, my appologies for posting it in here [00:40] ringer: I'm reading the man page right now tho [00:40] there exists malware for linux [00:40] pepee: ...like, 3 viruses, yeah [00:40] binary0011, no - just try xsane again - it should be working [00:41] Flash player basically sets my CPU/GPU on fire. Ideas/suggestions? [00:41] i am running Lucid and i lost my log in screen. i installed the rt2870usb driver and sense then the log in is now a command prompt. i would rather have the default. [00:41] ringer: damnit no devices found [00:41] virii, trojans, flash malware, java malware [00:41] anyone know how to fix this [00:41] Jordan_U: Maybe I should wipe the drive... [00:41] ringer: hang on I'll try again [00:41] teage: head to #ubuntu+1 doe Lucid support [00:41] even browser malware [00:41] shat [00:41] or whatever is called [00:41] binary0011: please watch your language and keep it family-friendly. [00:42] h00k, i know it's possible to get the dual boot, i'm just curious as to what would happen if I try to delete the OS X partition... I don't want to have to re-install Ubuntu again. [00:42] thanks hook will do [00:42] shoot man, my bad [00:42] binary0011, why you bad? [00:42] teage: *for lucid support [00:42] Losha: do you know if there is anyway to make a script to auto run split - so a person can right click a file on the desktop and split it up? [00:42] jsec: then OSX will be gone, just make sure to keep your grub updated [00:42] ringer: because binary0011 said a naughty word...

[00:43] mylisto: you could write a little shell script to split files, but most people don't need it often enough to bother...

After I reformatted and remounted it, Nautilus froze [00:44] ringer: pff I think I know why. gnome didn't even find my printer yet [00:44] binary0011: obfuscated swearing is sttill considered swearing [00:44] ringer: I thought it was installed, because I installed it in KDE. I need to set it up [00:44] Jordan_U: Why is it so broken? [00:44] LadyEleyne: it's trying to read your cdrom. I bet you don't have the cdrom inserted, right? [00:44] binary0011, i was gonna say are you sure it's connected [00:44] h00k: yeah I noticed, sorry bout that tho. [00:45] ringer: yeah it's all setup. Let me try something I'll get back with you in just one minute [00:45] LadyEleyne, remove the cd in the sources/repos configuration [00:45] Jordan_U: Are you still there? I need to leave soon. [00:45] hah no. [00:45] Antani_01: I don't know. [00:45] I could try putting the cd in and see what happens. [00:45] what the ... [00:46] mylisto: make a bash script and add it to nautilus [00:47] whats the way to reset yourpanels to stock ? [00:47] eoea: nah I'm fine [00:47] :D [00:48] ringer: wow this is really strange, ubuntu isn't even finding my printer [00:48] mylisto: Okilli dokilli [00:48] :-) [00:48] !panelreset | Yggdrasil [00:48] Yggdrasil: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:48] well off to reinstall :D [00:48] hope all goes well! [00:48] mylisto: is your split done then? [00:48] yes it is [00:49] actually made 3 files [00:49] mylisto: do a quick check on them with ls -l [00:49] binary0011, you sure it is actually plugged in?

[00:54] steelnwool: There are tons of raid bugs in Lucid. Lucid is supported ONLY in #ubuntu+1 for now. [00:54] mylisto: ah, that's better, I miscounted the sizes first time. One more thing before you reboot, run md5sum on the *original* file. It will take a few minutes to run... [00:54] ah ha. thanks [00:54] binary0011, so try xsane again [00:55] * h00k reminds everyone to check /topics when they join a new channel :) [00:55] I can't build oursql on karmic http://pastebin.com/mxatgxeZ ... help ? [00:55] ringer: I tried to even add a printer and it doesn't even give me the option. I usually have no problems with this kind of thing [00:55] binary0011, hmm - try rebooting the printer [00:56] moucho2r [00:56] ringer: okie, I'll try it again [00:56] ringer: hey thanks for taking the time to help me out btw [00:56] binary0011, np [00:56] binary0011, though I ought to get to bed soon - but I'll hang on a bit [00:57] ringer: hey don't worry about it, if you have to go it's cool. [00:57] well, thanks for being so helpful, I may have figured it out. [00:57] bye. [00:58] Losha: when I do that md5sum, does it just go to a blank line and run for a few minutes? [00:58] How do you force ssh to connect to a 'known' host when the key has changed? [00:59] ringer: I'm trying again. maybe I'll just try and restart the computer [00:59] how do i mount something plugged into my usb drive? [00:59] mylisto: yes, it reads the whole file so it takes a while. But the md5sum will enable us to verify that the new copy is identical to the original after you reboot. [00:59] thanks [00:59] binary0011, I'll wait [01:00] ringer: cool, I'm rebooting [01:00] canthus13: remove the associated line from ~/.ssh/known_hosts [01:00] brb k [01:00] vex_: you want to mount a usb device ? [01:00] anyone know where I can get a lit of all the 256 colors in the ansi spectrum? [01:00] DasEi: yes how do I find where it is mounted under dev and then mount it [01:01] how do i mount /dev (im in a chroot env) [01:01] vex_: plug it in... [01:01] DasEi: yes but I want to do it from a terminal [01:01] benedikt: Uh, you can't mount /dev, it's a folder, not a blockdevice. [01:01] Losha: Thanks. found the (different) answer, tho. ssh-keygen -R does it. :) [01:01] vex_: sudo fdisk -l (in teermninal) [01:01] canthus13: If the key has changed then it's not a known host anymore. Losha: how can one find the "associated" entry? [01:01] theadmin: mount udev to /dev [01:01] DasEi: there we go thanks [01:02] vex_: devicename ? [01:02] DasEi: sd0 [01:02] adelcampo: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ansi+color+spectrum [01:02] vex_: mount [01:02] eoeas: What I just said a minute ago works. In my case, I reused the same IP and hostname for a fresh install, resulting in my ssh client freaking out. [01:02] vex_: is it already mounted ? [01:02] DasEi: ya i just couldent find the device name [01:03] DasEi: thanks much mate [01:03] vex_: so you're solved then ?np, have fun [01:03] eoeas: Ah interesing. There is a line for each host in ~/.ssh/known_hosts, the hostname used to be at the start of the line in plaintext, it appears it's now encrypted so you do need to use ssh-keygen -R after all... [01:03] canthus13: What about the encryption key? [01:03] Scunizi: thanks but i've tried that. I've been looking for over an hour but I can't find just what I need [01:05] Losha: I seee ! [01:05] man ive tried everything. can someone please tell me a very easy simple way to sync my ipod? [01:06] adelcampo: you want just the 256 colors? [01:06] ncfi1013: setup virtualbox to install a windows guest os and pass your ipod to it. install itunes and go nuts [01:06] all im hearing is that ipod support in linux is a cinch but im having no luck. can somebody please help me? [01:06] tenmiles: ...too complicated I think, and that needs a Windows copy [01:07] cflow somehow didn't install correctly, and now it's stuck; can't remove, can't install it [01:07] i know u guys dont want to hear this but i am seriously considering switching back to windows considering the problems ive been having [01:07] ok Losha: got this 094f0e38381337acad74653a134a7fba Antonio.vdi [01:07] eoeas: the other solution would be to remove StrictHostKeyChecking via options [01:08] mylisto: ok, after you reboot and use cat to recreate the file, the md5sum of the new file should match. [01:08] adelcampo: do you want the codes? or a chart of the actual colors showing the codes? [01:09] Scunizi: I want the number showing what color it is. But I think i figured it out. I'm writing a script that'll spit out the colors on the terminal with their code. [01:09] Scunizi: thanks [01:10] adelcampo: here's a link that might help in understanding how the codes work. http://lucentbeing.com/blog/that-256-color-thing/ [01:10] Losha: Would compromise security though, prefer the ssh-keygen -R command. [01:11] eoeas: I agree. ssh-keygen -R is the way to go... [01:11] Scunizi: LOL that's exactly why I was looking for the chart. I'm using his script and I wanted to know what codes give you which colors. I'm also using his same script to print out the code for each color [01:12] How do I run configure in terminal? [01:12] adelcampo: that is funny :) [01:12] Majora2: why? What are you trying to accomplish exactly? [01:13] jrib: this - http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-d6dc6aaec38bf9f2198767215ea1813c44a5981d [01:13] Majora2: you don't need any of that. Wine is in the official ubuntu repositories. Use your favorite APT front-end to install it, like synaptic for instance [01:14] jrib: I'm at the "Run configure, build and install with" step, and get the error "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" [01:14] Majora2: read what I just said [01:14] Majora2: there is a wine ppa you can use [01:14] anyone know where i can get advice on fighting back against hackers? my mother is being attacked by hackers, and i plan on putting a stop to it [01:15] jrib: I need it because I'm trying to use Wine to play a game. In Jaunty, using the i386 32-bit processor support installation it works satisfactory. But with the amd 64-bit processor installation of jaunty the screen blinks constantly black in a super fast flicker. I want to stop it from flickering, so I thought the 64 bit wine would help. [01:15] hi, can I just uninstall pulseaudio? ive tried 2 sound card and my games still get this distorted blaring noise [01:15] I've modified .bash_aliases to include a shortcut to mounting a samba share on my machine (it's also the samba server). I'd like to convert that mount command to a line in fstab so the mount happens on startup. So far I've been unsuccessful.

[01:16] Majora2: that page is about building 32bit wine... [01:16] jrib: Uhg [01:16] Scunizi: credintials -> credentials [01:16] Majora2: anyway, try what ActionParsnip suggested first. winehq provides repositories and you may just need a more recent version of wine from there to resolve your issue [01:17] Scunizi: you can replace with $USER then the user launching the command will be used ;) [01:17] monk, explain [01:17] give details [01:17] jrib: I've tried other versions of wine and it hasn't helped. I've also tried the most up-to-date version as well. [01:17] Scunizi: look in the fstab file for hints, there are guides all over t'web [01:17] monk, better: /join ##security [01:18] DR_Fun1: I'd assume over at #java maybe :) [01:18] Scunizi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [01:18] hi, can I just uninstall pulseaudio? ive tried 2 sound card and my games still get this distorted blaring noise [01:18] ty [01:18] grr [01:18] Scunizi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [01:18] pepee: her email account was just hacked today. i'm using my linux box to investigate. but i would like to make sure my information is secure, such as IP and other personal info [01:18] node357, yep, you can [01:19] monk: a gmail account? And she's using windows? [01:19] monk: you mean, you're running the mail server? [01:19] okay, thanks pepee [01:19] Majora2: I would recommend you search wine's bug tracker for a bug similar to what you are experiencing first. If you want to troubleshoot by building 64bit wine, then the page you linked to has a link on how to do that [01:19] pepee: ok, i'll go to ##security. that's what i was hoping for [01:19] ringer: hey man you don't have to wait on me, I have some other things to do [01:19] node357, dpkg -l | grep pulseaudio | awk '{print $2}' [01:19] no, she is AOL webmail on Windows XP [01:19] Does "checkinstall" create a .deb package before or after the installation of your program? [01:19] jrib: Okay. Although from what I've seen Wine's bug database is full of people going, "I have this problem too :D" and no solutions [01:19] ringer: I'm going to install ubuntu over again. I'm setting up duel boot this time so I backed everything up and going from scratch [01:19] monk: you might ask on #windows also... [01:20] Losha: ok thank you [01:20] Majora2: if it only happens with that one game, appdb would be a good place to check too [01:20] eoeas: before [01:20] monk, if you use an infected trojanized machine, then you have to change your password, and the security questions [01:20] pepee, that listed a bunch of packages related to pulseaudio, but didn't seem to do much.. should I just get rid of those packages?

I'll wait until the server load has relaxed a little though.. I'd hate to get cut off in the middle of an upgrade [02:09] franl: don't upgrade from the internet, my system is all messed up coz of that, fresh install is better [02:09] Scunizi, doesn't it download all the packages first before installing anything? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:10] wow [02:10] so many people [02:10] I am getting an error because I installed some software and it messed with my java installation.

"Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! Any ideas? [02:10] the os update crash is mostly due to kernel getting updated..but that can be fixed. [02:10] franl: yes, I think so.. my current install of 9.10 isn't that old and I haven't added much to it outside of what was "stock".. upgrades tend to break because of 3rd party repos/software/user modifications to the system etc..

[02:18] hiexpo, nah [02:18] he didn't know hw to configure it [02:18] Scunizi: I just press the poweroff button [02:18] ghassen: there's probably hundred's of programs there.. most likely it's an ACPI thingy [02:18] hiexpo, you mean, the one with the atheros USB? [02:18] i have no choice [02:19] hmm i dont think i have nautilus installed [02:19] s/hw/how/ [02:19] pepee, he wouldn't listen and pure _hate was the best man for the job but po's him so he gave up on him [02:19] ghassen: you could open a terminal and type "sudo shutdown -P now" and watch it... see what shows and that might give you an idea what's hanging. [02:19] B`L`U`E, gnome or KDE? [02:19] Scunizi: apache can't stop cups and tomcat too [02:19] there's no such thing as a 32 bit intel i series proc right [02:20] I'm trying to turn jpegs into an avi file... it's telling me the format isn't supported [02:20] Can someone explain to me what causes windows network browsing to be so slow ? [02:20] <_0R10N> torchie: nope, they're 64 bits... I have an i5 XD [02:20] a jpeg is a pic an avi is a video [02:20] :) [02:20] ??? what is the best p2p program for ubuntu 9.04??? [02:20] Nattgew: for like a DVD slide show? [02:20] hiexpo, yeah, but there's som other thing: networkmanager will change your configs even if your set it manually [02:20] Scunizi: kind of, more of a time lapse with mencoder [02:21] Ubuntu Hardy install is hanging on gpgv-udev any suggestions? [02:21] got gnome [02:21] Nattgew: check out getdeb.net for a program called smiles.. it might be using mencoder or some other library.. but I think it's designed to do just what you're looking for. [02:21] B`L`U`E, open the terminal/console and run "nautilus" [02:21] pepee, yes but you have to run network manager don't let it run you [02:21] Scunizi: thanks, I'll check that out [02:21] <_0R10N> : transmission works great for me... I never neeeded anything else [02:22] B`L`U`E, or press alt+f2, type nautilus and press enter [02:22] pepee thanks let me try [02:22] (does alt+f2 work in gnome?) [02:22] I'm in kde... [02:22] pepee i am in there but i can only see ubunto hardisk [02:22] <_0R10N> pepee>: yeah, it worksa [02:22] Nattgew: http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.10/?q=smile [02:22] <_0R10N> pepee> *works [02:22] i have 3 wifi cards running right now and a usn 3 g card [02:22] Scunizi it is still giving me the gcj reference even after reinstalling sun-java6-jre is that the only installs I should of used? [02:23] ah ok [02:23] usb [02:23] A little confused. So theres this thing called GTK, and then Metacity. I would like to change some themes around, but what is it that i'm looking for? Whats the difference between them? Some themes require GTK2, how can I find out what I have. This is off of Ubuntu 9.10 minimal install. Any help is apreciated. [02:23] hiexpo, are they working? [02:23] pepee, absolutely [02:24] im on it [02:24] ah ok [02:24] pepee i am in there but i can only see ubunto hardisk [02:24] goddard: wild shot in the dark here.. but even after uninstalling a program the configuration file is typically left behind in your home directory as a hidden directory.. open nautilus and ctrl+h to reveal hidden stuff and search for gcj or .gcj [02:24] B`L`U`E, click on it... [02:24] done [02:24] 3 are in monitor mode and i am here talking with u guys on the other [02:24] anyone know why mencoder would claim that it didn't have a demuxer for jpeg to avi? [02:24] B`L`U`E, what do you see? [02:24] only ubunto hard drive partioned visible [02:25] file system [02:25] documents [02:25] etc etc [02:25] Scunizi ok will give it a go [02:25] Nattgew, perhaps the ubuntu version was compiled with no support for that [02:25] norbi905: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy :> that may help [02:25] hi there i just reboot finally [02:26] Hi, I really need some help. I'm dual-booting windows and ubuntu and I'm using standard grub2 themes but I need to change the boot order so that windows comes before ubuntu [02:26] is 9.10 a very recent version of ubuntu? [02:26] just launched ubuntu live cd on my laptop. can't believe it has no wireless support [02:26] maybe am missing the point of what a demuxer is, but jpeg and avi are two different things [02:26] the20year1, until lucidlynx comes is officially released yes :) [02:26] lolz [02:26] Vigo: Thanks, will look into it. [02:26] B`L`U`E, type /media or go to "root file system" or something like that [02:26] just making sure , my HD is failing , and i wanted to create a live USB drive real quick before it crashes [02:27] how is flash performance in a 64-bit system? [02:27] ok pepee [02:27] the20year1, yes is only like 8 months old [02:27] Scunizi found it in usr/lib and deleted that but nothing in my home directory but still same issue [02:27] dougb: flash performance is an overstatement [02:27] goddard: it's got something someplace.. was this program in the repos or from some 3rd party? [02:27] norbi905: Np, there are links on that to explain it a bit better, it is basically Eye Candy and Themes. [02:27] Is there a way of securely mounting remote device files locally? for e.g having sftp://192.168.2.1/dev/USBtty0 in the local device folder ? [02:28] are the ubuntu torrents good (i followed a link from pendrivelinux.com) [02:28] flash sucks on linux [02:28] dougb, youare better off installing the 32 bit on the 64 you will be happier [02:28] ok [02:28] the20year1, probably [02:28] i have another problem with the wifi , it connects for a while , then it cut off and won't connect again, even i tried many times, i finally reboot and it start working again, and after that is do it again [02:28] this torrent downloaded 600mb in like....2 mtues [02:28] Scunizi third party [02:28] *minutes [02:28] the20year1, the best is to get it from ubuntu.com [02:28] how do you enable nvidia's hdmi audio in ubuntu? I don't think the core nvidia drivers install audio stuff [02:28] renegaide: flash sucks, period.. but i know you like youtube [02:28] Scunizi but i got it from the repos i mean [02:28] the20year1, check md5sum's [02:29] anyone have idea if there is a speech recongnition program for ubuntu? [02:29] goddard: repos wouldn't be 3rd party.. how did you uninstall? synaptic? [02:29] nah flash works wel on win [02:29] how do i do that pepee? [02:30] Scunizi synaptic [02:30] the20year1: I strongly suggest that you get Official Releases. Always check the md5sums [02:30] the20year1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [02:31] goddard: try a "sudo apt-get autoremove" .. probably won't make a difference.. you might have to file a bug about this one.. also check the ubuntuforums.org for more info. [02:31] the20year1, downloads per torrent are all based on your internet provider and the seeders i have had 1 meg a seg and 16 kbsper second just all depends [02:31] <_pHI_> hmm, will ubuntu 10.04 include 2.6.32 or 2.6.33?? i'm a bit confused because this website: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html lists 2.6.33-500.6 as a kernel for lucid lynx but i was convinced it would come with .32 [02:31] !lucid | _pedda_ [02:31] I'm having trouble re-installing Ubuntu 9.10 from a disc I recieved.

[03:55] Luyza, ok hold on lol [03:55] joljam use curl [03:55] or wget depending on what you need to do [03:55] but it doesnt even make sense, user 1000 will be different on other machine [03:55] bp0, you might want to have a look at http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/delete-files-directly-without-moving-them-to-trash-in-ubuntu/ [03:55] joljam: I think shell script is not suitable for html [03:55] and other os dont use the same dirs [03:55] eoeas: not true at all [03:55] Luyza, onlyu installs wacom tools and tk for me [03:56] bp0: you are doing the equivalent of dragging and dropping files into your trash when you use delete/right click delete [03:56] pyoor: Explain please [03:56] i have only one problem in ubuntu, it is screen refresh. on windows i have 85hz, there maximum is 75hz. and i dont have vsync there. anybody solve this? [03:56] Guest87023, it doesn't offer to remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom then?

I am considering it for use on my Mum's Dell Latitude, it's a proper laptop, but a Celeron, and slow as hell in XP. she just needs firefox and openoffice [04:10] anyone else ever have a problem with the networking info popup windows? [04:10] TomJ: it has all of the same packages as Ubuntu, just with the clutter interface [04:10] these have *never* displayed properly [04:10] so regarding lucid the topic is don't ask yet,... right? [04:10] crazygir: how did it go? [04:10] by that I mean they pop up, but I see grey, no text [04:10] bulltitan: not in here, but you can definitely ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:10] ok [04:11] mdg2: upgraded, but no go on either connecting to vpn or resolv.conf [04:11] -_- [04:11] bulltitan, which is ridiculous [04:11] h00k: ah, so no specific optimisations for slower processors? or that's one of the reasons for the clutter interface, it's quicker? [04:11] * I think [04:11] Alright, just did a fresh install of Ubuntu. [04:11] oh, actually, maybe not - "the whole thing [clutter interface] is a bit too sluggish and processor-hungry." [04:11] And yet the desktop effects can not be enable, even with just the restricted drivers installed for my FX 5500 card. [04:11] there must be some competition for that nick.. [04:11] shame, the interface looks nice. i need something as simple as possible for my mum :) [04:12] linux, karmic? [04:12] TomJ: no, it's actually the same kernel and everything. The interface makes it easier to use on smaller screens, it's quite snappy on my netbook. [04:12] ok thanks h00k [04:12] pepee: lucid lynx [04:12] hiexpo: paros <-- ?? [04:12] pepee: And it's me, goodfella [04:12] crazygir: so you still can't get on internet?

I was going to give her kubuntu, as KDE is what I know and prefer personally [04:13] but I can't really debug the vpn issue now as the info popups don't display [04:13] (anyone else have that issue?) [04:13] linux, lsmod | grep nvidia [04:13] I've noticed the same on several xubuntu installs [04:13] across different systems [04:14] although actually I supppose xubuntu would probably be the lightest resource usage, of the three? [04:14] pepee: nvidia 7087672 24 agpgart 31724 2 nvidia,intel_agp [04:14] ubuntu, xubuntu what is diffirence? [04:14] TomJ: I haven't used KDE 4 extensively, perhaps grab a live-USB of each and try with her [04:14] crazygir: I would have no idea how to setup a vpn... [04:14] h00k: yeah I will. ok thanks [04:14] actually that's a good point, KDE 4 is a bit of a dog. I'm still using KDE 3.5 personally. [04:14] linux, try using the nvidia control panel [04:15] OutCast: ubuntu comes with gnome by default, xubuntu has xfce by default [04:15] !xubuntu [04:15] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[04:17] OutCast: you don't need to try anything - gnome, xfce and KDE are different desktop systems. try them all, use the one you like most [04:17] OutCast, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ? [04:17] eoeas: thanks, yeah fluxbox is the lightest of them all I guess [04:17] TomJ: what of this systems more easy and powerfull? [04:18] i wish we still had our paros support [04:18] pepee: i dont crazy=) [04:18] OutCast: that's a matter of opinion. I believe KDE is the best system. however, KDE 4 is a huge resource-hogging dog in my view. so maybe not any more. ask three people and you'll get hree different answers to this question. you just need to see what you like yourself [04:18] crazygir: http://www.craigmayhew.com/blog/2009/11/setting-up-vpn-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [04:19] eoeas, TomJ Fluxbuntu is WAY outdated. I'd suggest, if you are interested in fluxbox, just install it with a minimal cd or something [04:19] OutCast: I would say that KDE 4 is probably the prettiest system.. it has all the desktop effects, swirly windows etc, and I think gnome has less of that. so that's one factor, if you like that sort of stuff [04:19] hiexpo: Be patient and think back how you where when you started, I just had a guy totally new to linux, wanted to start off learning by configuring his wireless card, told him it was too difficult to start of with. [04:19] ZykoticK9: ok thanks. actually outdated doesnt matter in my case, it's for my mum - it just needs to work and be fast and be easy. i'm going to set it to auto-run firefox on startup, and then she'll probably never use any other app ever [04:20] ZykoticK9: TomJ: True [04:20] pepee: I think Compiz is just blacklisting the card. I changed up some of the settings and now the screen looks *super sharp and clear. [04:20] pepee: In the end, I think the card works. :D [04:20] when I start up ubuntu it says "repair shell started" or soemthing - what is this? I'm trying to have it for my dad.... [04:20] TomJ: ok, i have 1.5Gb of RAM and 1-core 2Ghz processor, 2xGF6600 video. what you recommend me? what system be a faster on this comp? [04:20] linux, yup, the module is loaded [04:20] pepee: sweet. Stupid compiz lawl [04:21] good to know it's working [04:21] hehe [04:21] OutCast: KDE 3.5 will run very nicely on that. KDE 4, I dont know.. my laptop has 256mb 9300 nvidia graphics, 4GB ram, and core 2 duo 2.5ghz - KDE 3.5 is smooth as silk, KDE 4 chugs sometimes [04:21] OutCast: faster would be a desktop enviroment like xfce, lxde, fluxbox¿¿ well this last one is not a dektop enviroment [04:21] OutCast: I would say on your system that all desktops will run very smoothly for sure, except maybe KDE 4 that might chug a bit, unless you turn off some of the fancy effects [04:22] tomj, go with xfce [04:22] voss749: for being quick and easy to use? [04:22] omg dude I'm so screwed... [04:22] yeah its a minimalist gui [04:23] should I use apt-get or aptitude for dist-upgrade? [04:23] crazygir: was my link any help? [04:23] what is a maintenance shell and how can i disable it on startup? [04:23] TomJ: Just tell her about lynx and leave her to the terminal, ya can't go lighter than that :p [04:23] sinistrad, aptitude is better IMO [04:23] lol! Yes, compiz has blacklisted this particular pci-id. Which is weird, considering they only list Intel and ATi card. Anyway, "linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz [04:23] Blacklisted PCI ID 8086:2562 detected [04:23] Launching fallback window manager" [04:23] yeah I think I'll start with that. the prime objective is for it just to be quick and responsive.. my mum's laptop is horrendously slow on XP, and I'm still not quite sure why. it has 2.4ghz, it's a Celeron, but I didnt realise they were quite *that* bad. but apparently they are [04:24] eoeas: hahaha, yeah.. actually, she still hasn't quite got hte concept of windows and how to maximise them, so perhaps a non-windowed system would work :) [04:24] TomJ: now i have problem to conf SLI on linux:( drivers dont have a need mode [04:24] mdg2: indeed, there is a lot of good connection info, I was actually looking for that to be able to setup a manual connection in openbsd [04:24] pepee, I've heard that as well recently. I've been reading posts(which are usually outdated) that said ubuntu preferred apt-get, but I've heard in here mostly aptitude for updates, but wasn't sure about dist-upgrades. [04:24] TomJ: lol [04:24] I hadn't really looked yet, so thank you! [04:25] eoeas, - its like my ole buddy came here last night pure_hate and was helping people they treated him like sh////// because of his nic and he is with it [04:25] hey [04:25] sinistrad: the number of tools to do something like that scares me [04:25] makes me trust all of them less [04:25] pepee/hiexpo: Well, besides the simple fact I can't run compiz, it should still work with my 3D games, right? [04:25] hiexpo: they were mean to him because of his network card? that's harsh [04:25] what is a maintenance shell and how can i disable it on startup? [04:26] linux, yeah, I suppose. just try [04:26] why is Linux Free?? [04:26] crazygir, True, but I'm doing this update remotely [04:26] fike2903: you're complaining?

[04:26] just wondering [04:27] fike2903: free as in freedom, NOT as in free beet [04:27] casemods, you're getting dropped to maintenance shell for some reason - most likely cause is a file system check needs to be manually run. [04:27] TomJ, - let me tell ya he made backtrack [04:27] i have the bin directory and the repo inside statet in the steps above. [04:27] beer* [04:27] freedom isnt free [04:27] xangua: well, it's also free as in beer [04:27] casemods, tha one you get after booting? [04:27] hiexpo: may I message you? [04:27] *the [04:27] sure [04:27] where does Nautilus store its extended file attributes? [04:28] @pepee it happens when I load ubuntu [04:28] and actually it's not completely free as in freedom.. you can't do what you like to it. GPL is one of the more restrictive licenses in that sense. BSD is 'more' free, in that there are fewer restrictions on what you can do with it [04:28] IdleOne, - sure [04:28] TomJ: You're a funny character, don't wind the guy up :-D [04:28] TomJ: not necessary or forcibly [04:28] @ZykoticK9 how can i disable it from happening?

[04:36] Guegs: I'm not exactly sure but possibly run "/etc/rc.d/sshd start" [04:37] Guegs: That's what it is on arch linux. and I'm guessing it's the same or about the same on ubuntu [04:37] ok im gonna try it brb [04:37] Guegs, thiemster: "service ssh start" ? [04:37] Guegs: sudo service ssh start or possibly sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [04:37] Guegs: if you sucessfully installed sshd, it should be already running.... [04:37] eatloaf: that could work too [04:37] casemods, after that, you have to upgrade your system [04:37] Losha: thx) [04:37] eatloaf: but probably with sudo or running as root [04:37] roit [04:37] pepee how do I upgrade? [04:38] Lamah Detector Activated!! [04:38] Searching....... [04:38] Searching...... [04:38] Lamah Found !!! [04:38] Losha: in english i not completely god) [04:38] MrAlexandro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:38] Lamah Detector Powering Down [04:38] OutCast: you're doing fine... [04:38] sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [04:38] ohodi can you still receive/send email? [04:38] what is wrong with this irc client [04:38] Alcor, using what method? [04:39] MrAlexandro, do you have an Ubuntu support question? [04:39] Figured it out I think. Thanks guys! :) [04:39] ohodi Are u using ubuntu? === cwe_65 is now known as cwe_muet [04:39] ZykoticK9 no, i am talking to myself i think:) [04:39] MrAlexandro: what irc client is it? [04:39] casemods , do you know how to upgrade to lucid? [04:39] Alcor, yes [04:39] eatloaf: Those last four characters are jammed together, ro03 and the 3 should be a 1 or 0 I think ro 0 0 -or -ro 0 1 [04:39] i install "YouTranslate!" i think its help me) [04:39] Thats one thing... [04:40] MrAlexandro, feel free to chat to yourself in #ubuntu-offtopic - but this is the support channel only [04:40] thiemster vortec irc. i am wuiting it anyway now. it is way wrong for me, ZykoticK9 i know i was not planning on this replies :D [04:40] ohodi Did you set up evolution? [04:40] Alcor, no [04:40] MrAlexandro: you could try with another one. XChat is very good [04:40] eatloaf: You need to have spaces between the fields. [04:41] ohodi do you have anything else? [04:41] hey [04:41] I have abandoned my effort with 9.10 Karmic Koala - back on 9.04, and it looks swell and fast. [04:41] !hey [04:41] Alcor, my browser [04:41] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:41] hey losha: [04:41] usr13: what's a 3 in the last spot? [04:41] antonio_: hi there... [04:41] mozillanerd: you could try lucid in two days. it's supposed to be even faster and better [04:41] so I used the split command earlier to split some files up, now I need to remerge them... [04:41] losha: its me mylisto :D [04:42] thiemster: Why faster? [04:42] mozillanerd, try lucid [04:42] usr13: in nano they're tabs. it's just 'cat' that slammed them together [04:42] Losha, - hello :) [04:42] ohodi Goto System -- admin -- network tools [04:42] eoeas: I dunno, that's just what I've heard on the interwebz [04:42] antonio_: I remember the split command. Are you ready to recreate the file? [04:42] hiexpo: hi [04:42] losha: you mind telling me how to remerge those files? [04:42] oh yeah :D [04:42] thiemster: I see [04:42] Alcor, ok what next [04:43] I'm guessing that's it remouting because of errors, but how do i find the errors or figure out why they're happening. [04:43] ohodi ping yahoo.com [04:43] pepee: I have, it had the same slowness as 9.10. Sorry. [04:43] YouTranslate! is bad. i go to find and install new translator [04:43] antonio_: ok, just a minute... [04:43] our recommendation?? [04:43] mozillanerd, try xubuntu lucid... [04:43] mozillanerd: well, if you like 9.04 stay with it. at least until it's not supported any more [04:43] Alcor, "the address www.yahoo.com cant be found" [04:43] pepee: xbuntu? Please explain [04:43] having yet another installation step thats failed, "select and install software" this time [04:44] ohodi try msn.com [04:44] mozillanerd: or you could try lubuntu. LXDE is very, very fast.... at least on my computer. It seems as if it's much faster than XFCE [04:44] mozillanerd, ubuntu with xfce [04:44] mozillanerd: xubuntu is ubuntu with the xfce desktop environment [04:44] Alcor, same thing [04:44] on server x86_65 [04:44] s/65/64/ [04:44] ohodi r u on ethernet? [04:44] mozillanerd: It's not as user-friendly as gnome (in my opinion), but it uses less RAM [04:44] Alcor, wifi [04:45] "FreeSpeak" is good?? [04:45] ohodi r u wifi ing your own router? [04:45] i am gonna be a man and say sorry all // I am a jerk [04:45] Alcor, what does that mean? [04:45] "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed [04:46] more errors [04:46] :) [04:46] love all these errors, theyre awesome [04:46] ohodi where r u wifi ing to? [04:46] hiexpo: what is "jerk"? [04:46] Alcor, my own router [04:46] 9.04 is pretty fast on the old Dell Inspiron 8200 with Nvidea acelerated driver. (v. 96) thanks for suggestions [04:46] how do i get the pin i used to pair a phone with my computer? [04:46] :) [04:47] gp5st: try 0000 [04:47] hiexpo: Forgiven :) [04:47] ohodi have y another computer on your router? [04:47] how to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [04:47] thiemster, xfce doesn't use a whole lot less RAM though - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 for comparison of Gnome,Xfce,KDE,Lxde [04:47] you [04:47] KDE is the fancy gui, Gnome the regular gui, Xfce the lean gui, and Lxde the skinny gui [04:47] i'm ubuntu 10.04 beta2 [04:47] OutCast: jerk -> someone who behaves badly... [04:47] Alcor, yes [04:47] mozillanerd: just take note if you decide to stick with 9.04 for the time being: it is only officially supported for 18 months (I'm pretty sure) so you'd be a fool to use it past then when there aren't security updates [04:47] DingGGu: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here [04:47] Losha: thx [04:47] ohodi can u reach the internet from there? [04:47] thanks :) [04:48] Alcor, let me try [04:48] k [04:48] Alcor, brb [04:48] ZykoticK9: my bad. I had always heard that it was and it seemed much faster on my computer. But I use awesomewm now and that probably uses a tenth the memory of either [04:48] k [04:48] Izinucs: when i paired it a few mins ago it gave me some random number 3375... and i'm setting up gammu and i thought that was the pin i needed? [04:48] Does anyone here have Hulu Desktop installed? [04:48] voss749: I am thinking of installing LXFE WM on OLPC XO [04:48] is there a netinstall version of ubuntu server install [04:48] voss749: you're forgetting a bunch [04:48] voss749: such as the *boxes [04:48] gp5st: maybe.. it was just a guess on my part [04:48] hiexpo: it takes a big person to say they're sorry. Props to you... [04:48] thiemster, it wasn't really "your bad", your statement was correct, i just wanted to point out that it's not a huge difference :) [04:49] i am creating a raid right now. i think it has a problem. it says: [8/7] [UUUUUUU_] what does that mean? [04:49] ZykoticK9: not my bad then [04:49] thie, not really I just dont care about them ;-) [04:49] Alcor, yes works just fine [04:49] :) [04:50] voss749: I'm just saying: you're saying lxde is "the skinny one" but this is only compared to the others that are mentioned. I use awesomewm (it truly is awesome) which is much "skinnier" than lxde [04:50] ohodi power cycle the router [04:50] ohodi may take a few mins [04:50] Alcor, that could take a while. how long will you be here? [04:50] Okay, would ~/.huludesktop be /home/conley/.huludesktop? [04:50] ohodi i'll wait [04:50] Conley_: yes [04:51] thiemster: awesomewm looks like Xmonad [04:51] thiemster: okay, cool [04:51] ok brb 7 minutes [04:51] eoeas: it is. but it's more like dwm, as it's based off of it. but they're all tiling [04:51] thie, there is no proposed official distro for awesomewm like lubuntu for lxde [04:51] Losha: "if it is possible to understand these words and their sense it is not disrupted, then this translator precisely that I searched for" [04:51] that ok? [04:51] i m just an ale hack someday i'll be somebody [04:51] voss749: I know... just sayin... I guess I didn't realize you meant just with the officially supported desktop environments of the *buntus [04:52] Losha: its understandable? [04:52] :)= [04:52] Alcor, that ok? [04:52] Does anyone here have Hulu Desktop? [04:52] awesomewm looks like amigaos from 1997 :) [04:52] OutCast: translators translate "correct language" not colloqial language. === slide is now known as Guest34981 [04:52] ohodi can u browse? [04:52] OutCast: yes, it's understandable, but not great. There's also #ubuntu-ru [04:53] voss749: true, it does look quite retro. but that's why I like it ;) [04:53] !anyone > Conley_ [04:53] Conley_, please see my private message [04:53] losha: let me know when you are ready [04:53] thie, yeah if I want retro ill go back to geos ;-) [04:53] Alcor, yes everything but https:// websites [04:53] Losha: #ubuntu-ru have a 60 peoples and no chat at all [04:53] voss749: good thing it isn't the default in ubuntu. I think having to use a tiling window manager such as awesomewm would turn off any perspective linux users [04:53] antonio_: I just hung up the phone. Let's get to it. You have 3 files, right: xaa, xab and xac ? [04:53] yeppers [04:53] brb [04:53] ohodi everything? [04:54] thie, yeah it be like ubuntu 3.2 edition hehe [04:54] 3.1 [04:54] voss749: haha probably. before that even. it's more like something that would come out in the early 90s [04:54] Ubuntu 95 hehe [04:54] Alcor, I can only not reach httpS:// websites. note the "S" [04:54] OutCast: well, your English seems better than the translator... [04:54] Okay, what does it say inside /home/username/.huludesktop, for someone that has it installed [04:54] Ubuntu 95 is xfce ;) [04:54] Losha: but some words i dont know [04:55] voss749: but once I got used to it (took a day or two and a LOT of online help), it is very, very useful because it's completely powered by keyboard shortcuts [04:55] OutCast: it's ok to ask when you don't know. Practice makes perfect... [04:55] what is the command for listing all processes being ran [04:55] felon: ps -A [04:55] felon:top [04:55] Alcor, hello? [04:55] felon: or install htop which is a lot better (sudo apt-get install htop) [04:55] felon: I like ps ax because it shows detached processes too... [04:56] i was just reading about the apt feature [04:56] ohodi can you search and hit ubuntu? [04:56] voss749: haha. makes sense. ish. [04:56] antonio_: ? [04:56] yeah [04:56] felon:the apt feature is probably one of the best in debian/ubuntu [04:56] sorry was opening terminal [04:56] felon:it's just so simple [04:56] why use apt - get when theres software center [04:56] Hello, can anyone help me fix my problem? My new ubuntu install says Bootmgr is Missing.. [04:56] Alcor, yes [04:57] antonio_: where do you want to put the recreated file? [04:57] felon: it's faster [04:57] oh [04:57] Alcor, yes i can hit ubuntu.com [04:57] in .virtualbox in my new home holder [04:57] i mean ubuntu.org [04:57] folder [04:57] plum-mobile: reinstall and make sure you install grub? [04:57] felon: it's easier if you already know what you're looking for. suppose you want to install a program, htop for example. You just need to type in "sudo apt-get install htop" and it will install. with the software center, you need to look through a lot of menus first [04:57] guys my wireless is not working in lucid, was working in karmic [04:57] antonio_: I mean, what is the full pathname for the file you want to recreate? [04:57] i need some help with a software raid. this is my cat /proc/mdstat http://www.pastebin.org/181691 [04:57] i c [04:57] ohodi try the http addrs for ubunto.com [04:57] voss749: haha fair enough [04:58] losha: mind if I pm you, too much text flying by [04:58] help! wireless not working in lucid [04:58] i think i drive is failed but it doesnt say which drive failed... how can i find out what is wrong? [04:58] antonio_: ok [04:58] Alcor, it works. i mentioned that.:) === harrumph_ is now known as harrumph [04:58] felon: but, for new users (such as I presume you are), the software center is very nice [04:58] how do i get ubuntu to work on my laptop [04:58] it wont connect to my wifi [04:58] felon: just know that it isn't the only method of installing/removing software [04:58] riverofnuts: what wireless card do you use¿ [04:59] I'm trying to get pressure sensitivity to work on wacom and Now I'm on GIMP, and the wiki says "All the values have to be the same as in the picture" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Screenshot-Gimp_Input.png But I don't see "Stylus"! What can I do? [04:59] broadcom === hacker_kid is now known as Guest26282 [04:59] its an old laptop [04:59] it wont auto install my wifi driver.. [04:59] i can only connect to the internet via an ethernet cable [04:59] ohodi dont do the search, do the http addrs thing at the top of the broweser [04:59] compaq presario v3131tu to be exact === Guest26282 is now known as hacker_kid [04:59] Alcor, that works too [04:59] Conley_: so from grub how do I reinstall it? I just did sudo apt-get install grub... [05:00] where can i get a nice simple .deb for tightvnc? [05:00] ohodi r u back on the wifi system? [05:00] my laptop is compaq presario cq40. WIRELESS NOT WORKING HELP! [05:00] tushar, fresh install? [05:00] Guest42045: wow! isn't there any other way [05:01] yes, but im trying to learn some command line, id really like to know. comparing the usr/bin to windows/programfiles, like is that a good compare, lets say i want to download something that aint in the apt or software center [05:01] Alcor, I haven't power cycled my router yet. it will take around 7 minutes at least. i was trying to ask you if you were ok with that. [05:01] voss749: perhaps that's what I like about it. it doesn't have any of the bloat that modern systems have and I have a fairly old (2002ish) computer [05:01] where would i install it after i get it ..? [05:01] tushar, no, is it a fresh install? [05:01] voss749: but luckily it has a whole 512MB of ram. a lot for then [05:01] tushar, im asking, [05:01] ohodi i said i will wait [05:01] Alcor, ok going to do that now [05:01] felon: I'm pretty sure you could install it to /opt [05:01] Guest42045: vinagre is vnc.. sudo apt-get install vinagre .. might be already installed [05:01] felon: but don't quote me on that [05:02] !filesystem | felon [05:02] Izinucs, is that as good as tightvnc? [05:02] felon: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [05:02] ohodi k [05:02] felon: yes, /usr/bin is like Windows/Program Files. Where you put things depends. What are you trying to install? [05:02] felon: but for most (not 100%, but most programs that you will need) programs, the repositories will have them [05:02] Guest42045: no, i upgraded from karmic. [05:02] how can i tell which drive in my RAID is bad? http://www.pastebin.org/181691 [05:02] Guest42045: look in synaptic for tight vnc.. it's also there. [05:02] i know i can install anywhere, but i guess im trying to say aint usr/bin equivlent to windows/programs ... where programs would be installed ? [05:02] How can I install grub to my hard drive? I don't know what hd number it is (hd0,0) etc [05:02] Guest42045: it was working in karmic. [05:02] thx Losha [05:02] tushar perhaps in #ubuntu+1 they would know [05:02] felon: yes .. sort of [05:03] felon, /usr/bin/ is normally in the "path" in windows terms [05:03] Guest42045: ok [05:03] gotta go everyone [05:03] see you.... sometime... else? [05:03] izinucs, Apt-get install viagra? [05:03] felon, so things placed in there are available to the command-line from most anywhere [05:03] yes thx for clarifying that guyz thx. [05:03] Hey folks. Sound has suddenly disappeared in this Ubuntu Karmic install. Tried three different sound cards, all of which appear in the software to be working properly. Tried multiple sets of speakers, alsamixer, pulseaudio controls, etc. [05:03] voss749: vinagre [05:03] It acts like sound is working, the hardware appears to be working, but I get no sound. Volume is cranked, of course. [05:03] how can i force 9.10 always to dial a vpn connection when signing onto a wifi network? [05:03] plum-mobile: You don't pass (hdx,x) values to grub-install, just "grub-install /dev/sda" (if you want to install to sda) [05:04] Izinucs, i feel dumb. good tip, looking in synaptic lol' [05:04] Izinucs, except, where is it? I installed from synaptic... [05:05] how do i keep a bash script running in the background [05:05] ubuntu is sexy [05:05] i think its a "bash" script but i'm a noob ;) [05:05] felon, also, if you compile stuff, what you compile will often have an installer that you run after you "make" it, and that will put things in place if you plan on making it system-wide, or if you only want it to be used by your user account only, you can place your created binaries into wherever in your /home dir [05:05] Guest42045: typically shows up in Applications>Internet>terminal server client [05:05] yep [05:05] for instance .... i umm [05:06] Izinucs, wait, terminal server client is tightvnc? [05:06] downloaded/ iroffer from site instead of using software center [05:06] Izinucs, i had that before I installed.... [05:06] Guest42045: yep.. If I remember correctly.. it's been a while since I used it. [05:06] I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back? [05:06] ./configured make and mak'd install [05:06] i'm on 9.10. i don't want to access the 'net without using a vpn. how can require a vpn to be dialed whenever there's a network connection, and automatically redial it if it's dropped? [05:06] then did the config file [05:06] Hello folks. I have just installed ubuntu for the first time about six hours ago. I am really confused :) The problem concerns Surround sound, i can't get it working. Only Stereo. I have googled, read and tried over and over all night (morning here now), so i suppose i need some help now. [05:06] Izinucs, how do i get it to lauch as a server automaticlly on each boot [05:07] plum-mobile: First of all, if you are getting the error that Bootmgr is missing it's window's bootloader that is broken, not grub. [05:07] felon: that will work, but it's not the best way to install software. Much better to use a repository version if one is available... [05:07] SvendJolly, have you played with the check boxes in pulseaudio? [05:07] Guest42045: System>Preferences>Remote Desktop [05:07] StrangeCharm: Set up the VPN in System > Preferences > Network Connections [05:07] felon, yep, you'll often ./configure, make, sudo make install. Losha is right, if the same software is in the repositories, it is the easiest way to get it [05:08] !checkinstall [05:08] Izinucs, i was told to use tightvnc instead of that cause its better? [05:08] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [05:08] SvendJolly: sound is a notorious trouble spot in Ubuntu. You're actually quite lucky you've got Stereo first time round... [05:08] Guest42045: it's a nominal difference.. [05:08] See, this is why I'd love it if some channel management decided to split this channel into two or three branches. Sure, everyone can help everyone here, but look at the nicklist! It goes on forever. The 'help' flies by so fast that it's a miracle to behold if you actually get noticed. [05:08] Jordan_U, that will allow me to connect manually. i would like an automatic connection [05:08] felon, what ubottu said [05:08] Izinucs, ok. so how do i get it to run on boot? [05:08] regardless with programs like iroffer that runs in a bg, repositories dont make and "install" for you right ? [05:09] draccy: that's why you use a person's nick when you talk to them so the line highlights [05:09] winehq [05:09] StrangeCharm: Check the box "Connect automatically" [05:09] Izinucs, That doesn't help the getting-noticed-in-the-first-place part of it. :P [05:09] Guest42045: I have to tell you, ubuntu is really new to me. No i don't even know what pulseaudio is. But i can tell you, that i have tried messing the sound icon, but i cannot find anything about surround sound. Have to tell you, that i have SPDIF output in my soundcard, and used that in windows [05:09] Guest42045: that would be the server portion.. sorry I'm not really sure.. there should be some docs on it. [05:09] I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back? [05:10] felon: yes they do. repositories contain ready compiled applications, and they get installed for you on request. They've usually been tested, and its easy to upgrade them and/or remove them if you want to. Saves a lot of work for you.... [05:10] felon, no, they are precompiled binaries. They were compiled using the general architecture of your processor. [05:10] SvendJolly: try opening a terminal and typing alsamixer make sure all volumes are up.. [05:10] felon: It's also much faster to download the binaries from the repositories than downloading source and making it [05:10] My friend is having a strange problem on his computer. He has a dual-boot ubuntu/windows vista system and the speakers have stopped working in both. He can listen to music on headphones but not with the speakers. He has had his speakers and motherboard replaced several times. He blames the problems on ubuntu. Is it even possible for ubuntu to stop the speakers from working in windows? [05:10] Jordan_U, that checkbox does not produce the desired behaviour. after resuming from standby, and connecting to a wlan, the vpn is not automatically dialed. i don't know what that box is meant to do, but it doesn't seem to do what i want [05:11] switch10_: right away... [05:11] sinistrad: how can i check which drive in my RAID has failed? this is my cat /proc/mdstat http://www.pastebin.org/181691 [05:11] My my. Three sound problems at once. I smell a bug. [05:11] draccy: sure.. if you're helping then your attention goes to what is highlighted.. if you're receiving it's the same.. ignore the rest or take some adhd meds to speed up the mental process.. but that's not recommended [05:11] i do like ubuntu ... pretty user friendly for a guy with common sense [05:11] azlon, No idea, I haven't ever ran RAID [05:11] felon, indeed [05:12] draccy, shouldn't be a bug in Karmic for sound [05:12] draccy: were you talking to me? [05:12] switch10_: i can only change the master [05:12] and only see to other full pins, and four empty [05:12] Sound in this machine worked when I first installed, come to think of it. The usual upgrade I do for my Linux conversion customers is what nuked it. [05:12] "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [05:12] RickZilla, ^^^ [05:12] three that is [05:12] RickZilla: you're joking of course. Sound has been flaky in Ubuntu since at least 8.X.... [05:12] three empty [05:12] i guess you can say im newb'd on this ubuntu, but this is not my first linux distro ive ever had. back when socket 7's were the shit, i had slackware installed ... lol i dont remember much [05:13] Losha, I got it to work just fine when I first installed back at 10.4 or so [05:13] SvendJolly: use the arrow keys/tab [05:13] RickZilla: it seems to be hardware dependent, so just because it worked for you.... [05:13] im tired of security issues with windows any more. [05:13] Losha, but that's been my experience...others of course probably have different opinions...the thing I never got to work was my 3D graphics card [05:13] Removing pulseaudio does nothing, but maybe if I install 8.10's alsa packages... [05:13] Or just from the install disc. That would be saner. [05:13] switch10_: aha.. now i turned them all up [05:14] I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back? [05:14] id rather mess with iptables [05:14] RickZilla: if it's 10.04, you can go to #ubuntu+1 [05:14] switch10_: but does that mean, that i now have the spdif activated, and are able to play surround that way now? [05:14] Losha: Nope, still Karmic [05:15] felon, your methods for getting software should be first, the repositories(software center, apt-get, aptitude...) and make sure you enable "universe" repositories. Then if that fails, see if you can find a .deb for the software that matches your architecture (32 or 64 bit), and as last resort, source. [05:15] SvendJolly: your surround should be working [05:15] Losha, they just seem to have disappeared, and I'm not sure where they went [05:15] RickZilla: oh, I thought you mentioned 10.4 a few moments ago... [05:15] Losha, I meant 8.4 [05:16] switch10_: okay, but there is no red light coming out of the cable [05:16] how do i keep a script running in the background? [05:16] SvendJolly: the settings should save automatically. If they do not save, open alsamixer as root and change the settings.. [05:16] ive been messing with ubuntu for three days now and ive installed it three times. 9.10, then upgraded to 10.04 but i fucked it all up lol formated and reinstalled 9.10 [05:16] itilious, follow the command with & [05:16] RickZilla: sorry, crystal ball not working... [05:16] is there a way I can load certain terminal commands to run automatically as root on boot? [05:16] ill remember that siistrad [05:16] itilious, that is if you haven't started it [05:16] SvendJolly: sorry I don't know what red light you are talking about... [05:16] sinistrad [05:16] switch10_: spdif is an optical output [05:17] exactly in that order [05:17] i use a toslink cable, with a jackstick converter [05:17] i like all the games i can get, thats pretty koo [05:17] Losha, thanks anyway...I wonder if it will come back with the upgrade in a couple of days [05:17] it's all good [05:17] !language | felon [05:17] felon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:17] SvendJolly: I don't have surround and have never set it up. I just know about alsamixer... [05:17] itilious, if it is already started, then you can CTRL Z, which I think will halt it, give you back command-line, and then put in bg %1 to background it [05:17] i am back [05:17] CaptainTrek: yes, depending on the commands, you can put them in a file named /etc/rc.local which gets run once at the end of the boot sequence. Which commands? [05:17] oh [05:17] Losha: something to set up certain links that won't remain persistent [05:18] well, whats my name .. ha. ! [05:18] Thank goodness, hiexpo....we were getting worried sick about you [05:18] switch10_: okay :) thank you for helping, at least, i got all of the speakers turned up :) [05:18] is there a way to convert ubuntu into debian through repos and other means? [05:18] CaptainTrek: that should work, but tell me which links, and why they aren't persistent? [05:18] Losha: I had something in a different folder linked to /dev/null and that link refuses to remain persistent after reboot [05:18] lol [05:19] linked as in i move something to /some/where and it sends it to /dev/null instead [05:19] sinistrad, i'm trying to keep this script running in the background http://script.jmap82.com/doku.php?id=jmap82sscripts:monitor [05:19] SvendJolly: no problem. keep asking around, Im sure some one has a setup similar to yours.. [05:19] unfortunately, it refuses to stay persistent [05:19] switch10_: i hope so :) [05:19] CaptainTrek: that's very odd, normally links don't spontaneously disappear.... [05:19] Can someone help me with making an ISO into a live usb drive? [05:19] question : is it possible to ( im assuming im using Gnome Desktop Enviroment) switch to like X or something without messing up anything else. ? [05:19] Losha: its been happening only with the links that tie back to /dev/null [05:20] perhaps because the filesystem is unloaded at the end of boot? [05:20] demism: it's an odd question. Ubuntu is a debian derivative after all... [05:20] So if anyone have any experience with setting up SPDIF (optical) sound on ubuntu, please help me [05:20] !usb | Puppy_fam follow the links [05:20] Puppy_fam follow the links: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:20] end of reboot* [05:20] demism, - yes [05:20] Puppy_fam: use live usb creator under system>administration [05:20] i simply want compiz to disable when the vino-server is active [05:20] CaptainTrek: well, devices are recreated at boot time. Are you using a soft link or a hard link? [05:20] anyone know a fix for this problem with nvidia drivers and remote desktop bug? [05:20] hiexpo: here's the follow-on... how? [05:20] i'm on 9.10. i don't want to access the 'net without using a vpn. how can require a vpn to be dialed whenever there's a network connection, and automatically redial it if it's dropped? [05:20] Losha: tried both, normally i hardlink it [05:21] * Izinucs can see the channel growing by 10-20% after the next release.. the screen is going to roll! [05:21] I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back? [05:21] Sound has suddenly disappeared in this Ubuntu Karmic install. Tried three different sound cards, all of which appear in the software to be working properly. Tried multiple sets of speakers, alsamixer, pulseaudio controls, etc. [05:21] itilious, when you run that script, follow it with & [05:21] failed to parse xorg conf something nvidia. ten pages on the forums about this. any quick fixes? [05:21] itilious, it will background it, and give you back the command line [05:21] CaptainTrek: a soft link should remain even if /dev/zero disappears. If not, well, as I say, you can issue the link commands from /etc/rc.local [05:21] sinistrad, sorry for my noob question but how exactly do i run it :/ [05:21] yes it failed on me too when i tried to save my conf. [05:21] patrick_: gksudo nvidia-settings .. then try to save [05:22] draccy, try lucid [05:22] demism, - ubuntu is deb all myrepo'sare deb [05:22] @switch10_: when I use live usb creator it only works for .img files. Not ISO's. Why is this? [05:22] rename it [05:22] shouldnt hurt it [05:22] itilious, you navigate to the script, and do ./script & [05:22] Puppy_fam: I have no idea. iso's work with live usb creator. have you tried unetbootin? [05:22] bastid_raZor, same error [05:23] reboot [05:23] bastid_raZor, grrr [05:23] hiexpo: what do you mean: "all my repos are deb" ?? [05:23] QUESTION ~ on GIMP, following the Ubuntu Wacom Wiki thingie, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Screenshot-Gimp_Input.png I setup my wacom. BUT, I have to draw with the eraser! When I use the 'pen', it gives me the cursor, and then ANOTHER cursor mirrors my movement (WIERD I know), and when I click, it doesn't paint anything. Anyone know what the prob could be?:P [05:28] sinistrad, the terminal simply gave me a reply of :9894 [05:28] whats that even mean? lol [05:28] Luyza, LOL ok, didn't know that [05:28] it seems like wacom are problematic in linux, and not very well developed [05:28] itilious, that is the pid of the process [05:29] any way to boot ubuntu without booting into x [05:29] draccy, sure it's not a hardware problem? [05:29] Losha, _ why ? [05:29] sinistrad, is it necessary to use sudo with it everytime? [05:29] jmoiron, yep, "recovery something" [05:29] plum-mobile, easy way is to download supergrub and let it fix it automatically. I suck at manual stuff [05:29] hiexpo: yes, why run a ubuntu kernel with debian repositories? Is there some advantage? [05:29] pepee: no, that boots into single user mode, which asks me for a root password [05:29] can someone help plum-mobile with !grub [05:29] will mke2fs format a drive? [05:29] jmoiron, do you wanna change your password? [05:30] !mke2fs [05:30] pepee: i want to fix my system [05:30] jmoiron, what's the problem? [05:30] !grun [05:30] i'd like to log in as my user [05:30] !grub [05:30] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [05:30] itilious, some processes require sudo to get escalated priviliges. I guess that one might. You can try without. It will complain or not work otherwise [05:30] plum-mobile, > !grub [05:30] pepee: ubuntu 10.04 upgrade doesn't like my setup [05:30] also helpfully mangled the root password on its way out [05:30] azlon: yes, rather, it will format a partition. Be careful with it or you could lose data if you format the wrong partition! [05:31] sinistrad, so then even if i make it a launcher i will still need to enter the password manually everytime? [05:31] jmoiron: /join #ubuntu+1 [05:31] old kernel still boots but into a broken X that won't run even in failsafeX [05:31] Losha: been there done that (2 days ago). i was installing 9.10 over my 10.04 due to bugs and i f'n installed on the wrong drive. === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [05:31] Losha, yes because i like my repos and the stuff iuse [05:31] jmoiron, and if you want a shell, you have to edit the kernel line in grub [05:31] azlon: we've *all* done that at least once.... [05:31] pepee: that's fine, i'd like a login if possible [05:32] itilious, well, that would be proper that if it requires it. [05:32] if i can get to my own user, i can mod the root pw and then get into single user mode [05:32] hiexpo: so you do it "because you like it". Not exactly the technical reason I was hoping for... [05:32] jmoiron, you have to remove all the kernel options (except root=...) and add init=/bin/bash [05:33] jmoiron, remove "single" in the kernel options line [05:33] pepee: neat, seems to have worked [05:33] Losha: i am currently building a RAID and i made it an ext3, but now after reading about ext2,3,4 i think i want ext2 because it doens't have any journaling. now i need to mke2fs the raid instead of mke2fs -j... does this sound about right? [05:33] jmoiron, what did you do? [05:34] pepee: i just did the regular upgrade as suggested [05:34] switch10_: i think i got something here, hope you can help me with my little problem. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=58216 IEC958 is not activated, i say that because i havent done it, and i cannot change the settings. But i cant fint out, how to activate it. How to open the gnome volume controller [05:34] draccy, already there? [05:34] my system boots onto a raid0 so it isn't the most straightforward [05:34] jmoiron, heh ok [05:34] azlon: the mke2fs part sounds right. I don't know enough about raid to advise you on the rest... [05:34] Losha, _ i am a hack ///// I am a hacker no longer i donot know how to answer that ? [05:34] Losha: thanks [05:35] <_pg_> on mac, I use a program called teleport as a virtual KVM switch. is there anything likt that on Ubunut? [05:35] <_pg_> hiexpo: good to hear [05:36] _pg_, KVM? [05:36] hiexpo: er, ok. I just find it odd that you do this, and what demism wants to do seems even odder.... [05:36] <_pg_> pepee: Keyboard Video Monitor I think. basically it means i can use my laptop as a keyboard mouse for other macs on my lan [05:37] _pg_, oh, google told me what teleport is for [05:37] <_pg_> pepee: did i have the acronym wrong? [05:37] _pg_, no idea heh [05:37] awesome, thanks for all your help sinistrad [05:37] i just typed "teleport mac" [05:38] <_pg_> pepee: pretty neat huh? [05:38] That is what KVM stands for [05:38] itilious, of course. I try. Not often I can offer help, but I try [05:39] <_pg_> slaad_: pepee know of anything like that for ubuntu? besides VNC of course [05:39] _pg_, yeah [05:39] pepee: perhaps http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/files/ ? [05:39] Losha, tell _pg_ [05:39] Losha, i am the best of the best i am a piece of sh// lol [05:39] _pg_, no idea..

[05:44] <_pg_> Losha: thanks for the tip- [05:44] draccy, which one works? [05:44] <_pg_> peas [05:45] _pg_: pepee: best of luck guys [05:45] pepee, none of them. They all appear to work, but produce no sound from the line out. [05:45] for posterities sake i had this line in my /etc/fstab : none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0 [05:45] draccy, that's why I'm asking if it's a hardware problem... [05:45] pepee, three cards. Identical symptoms. [05:45] if none of them works, then probably is not OS-related problem [05:46] They work under normal circumstances. [05:46] I'll be back.

Also, nothing from the restricted section comes installed by default [06:15] Losha: the only problem is that it still returns the whole path. the man says %h should just show the last folder before the filename [06:16] circuitman: if you want proprietary stuff, i.e. mp3, flash, dvd playback, etc, you need to install it.. [06:16] Losha: oh wait, i read it wrong... it shows just the path, not the file name... thanks! [06:16] switch: but 40mb will take hours [06:16] azlon: cool.

Hopefully you'll get somethin... oh you just said it. [07:09] meowbuntu: highly recommended. bind it to a key combo as well.. [07:09] red2kic: ^^ [07:10] meowbuntu: You said EASY file search tool. I gave you commands to search. Somebody else gave you a name of package. :3 [07:10] switch10_, something like ctrl+alt+s [07:11] may any one help me through installing tor on ubuntu? [07:11] meowbuntu: I use super+g [07:11] red2kic, gtk is always best easiest way to do anything for most [07:11] sinistrad: sudo lsof -itcp:www [07:11] super = the windows key right [07:11] ^ switch10_ [07:12] meowbuntu: yes [07:12] Flamey, I found it. the upgrade added listen 80 to /etc/apache2/ports.conf [07:12] meowbuntu: gnome-do does more than locate, or find do anyway... [07:12] Flamey, port80 wasn't showing up in netstat [07:13] meowbuntu: it can even search your friends in empathy.. or emails in evolution, and so much more.. [07:13] switch10_, where is gnome do located in ubuntu menu [07:14] sup ppl [07:14] empathy is not as good as pidgion. [07:14] webmail is best for me [07:14] it's chrome, it's in ubuntu 9.10, I am on the comedy central website, I just watched 2 videos, the 2nd finishes, then I see this To view this movie you need the Adobe Flash Player plugin. You also need JavaScript enabled in your browser. [07:14] sinistrad: listen sockets aren't shown in the default display, i usually add -a to see them [07:14] meowbuntu: apps>accessories [07:14] but switch10_ thats great [07:14] meowbuntu: I like empathy better.. [07:14] * MrH_ can't sleep [07:14] meowbuntu, I use xchat [07:14] xchat here as well [07:15] sinistrad: problem with netstat is that it doesn't tell you which process is using that port. [07:15] switch10_, empathy cant do as much as pidgin atm its too new [07:15] well for irc I use irssi... [07:15] me too, and #irssi answers my occasional questions. [07:15] irc xchat is best on ubuntu irssi is also good and light though [07:15] I was using netstat -lnp | grep '0.0.0.0:80' [07:15] i want to combine a plug-in for conky and a cmd based irc client [07:16] meowbuntu: I rarley use it. as far as I know empathy has voice and pidgin does not.. [07:16] has anyone here used rEFIt to boot to Ubuntu on an intel mac? [07:16] sinistrad: that won't find everything, if apache only binds to one address, you'd get some real ip and not 0.0.0.0 [07:16] when is the gnome 3 final release? in time for 10.10 i hope [07:16] kinda embed the chat into the background with user input enabled [07:16] meowbuntu re search tool, it's (dumbly) hidden, in a file browser (the one called nautilus but only by those who know, gnome never mentions it) press control-F and there it appears. [07:17] MrH_: I don't think conky is interactive. Its duty is to display information. You could ask in #conky though. [07:17] Flamey, It didn't find anything. apache was only giving me (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 when I tried to start it [07:17] tripelb: wow thanks, I never knew about Ctrl-F [07:17] Flamey, meaning, you are right [07:18] red2kic: and it does a fine job at that [07:18] Flamey, luckily, I remembered that listen80 was added to ports.conf and I tried commenting it out. It seemed to work. I appreciate your help though [07:19] i seen somebody do it thoe... they sent their text/cmd via a small text box that was some how connected to the client [07:20] sinistrad: no prob. that lsof command will show you all the processes either bound to 80 or connected to 8)(might be a lot) lsof's manpage is huge, but i think there's a way to select only listening ports [07:21] Flamey, Thanks, I never tried lsof. I learn something new every day [07:21] Flamey:still not able to play wma audio [07:21] will gnome 3 be on 10.10? is it possible to test the current build?

[08:58] im trying to setup a staic ip [08:58] howdo ifigure out my hostname ? [08:58] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-static-ip/ [08:58] DJ_HaMsTa: "hostname" is the comment [08:58] thats where i'm at.. just trying to get the right numbers in the right place [08:58] ah thanks [08:58] how do i change it ? lol [08:58] firevai: ok, first some questions, then lets work this through [08:58] firevai: first, what version of ubuntu is this ? [08:59] 9 [08:59] firevai: 9.04 or 9.10 [08:59] 9.04 [08:59] ok === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [08:59] is this a desktop install ? [08:59] yes [08:59] i have the file opened in gedit [08:59] firevai: what file? [08:59] and pasted the example in there.. but i am not sure what goes where. i have my numbers from isp [09:00] interfaces [09:00] firevai: ok, why are you not using the network admin gui to do this, you should not be editing the interfaces file [09:00] firevai: you need to consult your router manual and configure it with dhcp serving on your lan side. In ubuntu you use default config if you use wired lan. [09:00] hi. i'm currently trying o build my own alternate installer cd (in order to use kickstart scripts). somehow my usb-cdrom drive is not mountec corrently, I need to load the modules manually (says: no common cdrom drive found). anybody any suggestions how to avoid that? [09:00] ohir: no he doesn't [09:00] hmm ok kinda lost [09:00] ohir: he doesn't have to use dhcp at all [09:01] firevai: are you using gnome ? [09:01] yes [09:01] so i dont need to edit that file? [09:01] firevai: in the top right of your desktop, a little in from the right, do you see an icon that looks like a network icon/computer icon, [09:01] yes [09:01] you know the f4l program, for flash design on linux, anyone tried it, it doesn't seem to be in the repo [09:02] firevai: ok, that's gnome network manager, if you click it, what options do you see [09:02] ikonia: he uses router/modem combo IIRC. My experience tells me that configuring dhcp in that gizmo is the only viable option for home network. [09:02] just vpn connections [09:02] ohir: nope [09:02] i have comcast business line, and they said i have to have a static ip to forward ports [09:02] ikonia: who will teach him/her how to setup his/her mother windoze pc to get it online? [09:03] i use dc++ and cant search or download but people can dl from me [09:03] ohir: I'm not supporting his windows PC [09:03] firevai: hang on, one step at a time [09:03] firevai: lets step back again for a moment [09:03] firevai: why do you want a static IP ? [09:03] comcast did a firmware update, and killed port forwarding, and i had to get a static ip so i could forward ports [09:03] ikonia: but you are advising him to set static ip on his ubuntu box, right? [09:04] ohir: no, I'm not advising him to do anything [09:04] firevai: ok, you're way off base here [09:04] ok. Your client :) [09:04] lol i feel special.. i got two guys fighting over me.. lol [09:04] * ohir steps back. [09:04] firevai: no-one's fight, ohir is actually right based on what you're telling me now [09:04] wish i was a chick.. i'd feel even better lol [09:05] firevai: you have no reason to set a static IP, you just need to tell your router to port forward to the internal LAN IP [09:05] ok explain that.. forward to internal lan ip [09:05] please [09:06] firevai: you need to contact your router vendor for support on your router, but the bottom line is you ubuntu machine will get a dhcp address (internal IP) from your router, you then configure the router to port forward to that internal IP address [09:06] i'm in the router/modem config thingie now [09:06] ok i did that allready [09:06] firevai: each router/modem does it differenty so you'll need to use your routers support services / manuals to configure it [09:06] lemme check something [09:06] brb [09:07] Error: I could not see your service on 173.165.77.6 on port (24245) [09:07] Reason: No route to host [09:07] firevai: you'll need to speak to your router support services to get help setting that up, as that's nothing to do with ubuntu [09:07] i forwarded that port to 10.1.10.11 my router ip? [09:08] ok [09:08] hmm [09:08] firevai: just keep in mind you have no need/reason to set a static IP when talking to your router support as ohir suggested earlier [09:08] wierd.. when i was using my landlords line, when he forwarded a port it just worked fine [09:08] now reiinstall linux-headers from live cd to my os ubuntu 10.04 rc1 [09:08] SuN__: ? [09:10] SuN__: #ubuntu+1 [09:10] ok my internal ip would be that 10.1.10.10 number probably? [09:10] how do i get my box to allow me to install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` .. aptitude reports it couldn't find any package that matches that name.. [09:10] most others are like 192.168.0.1 [09:10] it appears in my /etc/apt/soruces that restricted is already enabled. [09:10] firevai: you need to contact your router vendor's support services [09:10] mr_diggles, you have to add the repositories in synaptec [09:10] ok ok thanks guys [09:11] when i do a apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) .. does it overwrite my current kernel and configs? [09:11] mr_diggles: apt-get update [09:11] ikonia, I can not log gives me a black screen and restarts [09:11] SuN__: lucid support is in the channel #ubuntu+1 [09:12] ikonia, no correct answer for now [09:12] firevai: check box for proprietary (restricted) is already checked [09:12] SuN__: but this is not the lucid-support-channel [09:13] can others install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` ? is documentation for getting the acx wireless module just depricated perhaps? [09:14] mr_diggles: apt-cache search linux-restricted-modules after sudo apt-get update [09:14] iceroot: nada .. what does the line in /etc/apt/sources look like to get this enabled? [09:15] !info linux-restricted-modules [09:15] Package linux-restricted-modules does not exist in karmic [09:15] ubottu: gah! that is what was suspecting.. [09:16] so i wonder what the recommended path is for getting these wireless drivers now is.. [09:16] ho do i ban doubleclick? [09:16] make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build: No such file or directory. Stop. [09:16] how can i solve this? just do a apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)? [09:17] whomee: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` [09:17] mr_diggles: does that reconfigure anything in my current kernel configs? [09:17] whomee: nope.. in fact it gets you a dissapointing amount of stuff :P [09:18] whomee: but doesn't change anything about current running system. [09:18] mr_diggles: ah goodie :) just need that build file again :) well spank you [09:19] how can i disable ipv6 on one itnerface [09:19] Hey everyone. Flashplayer did work perfectly, but since the update Firefox crashes (hang) with site using Flash. I did uninstall flash, now i want to reinstall it. So What I really want is the procedure to fully unistall flash player, and then install the good version. Any help ? [09:21] ahh, linux-restricted-modules were depricated in 9.10 in favor of dkms [09:21] and sadly I know nothing of dkms [09:22] i want to compress vodeo file , in ubuntu, what is the command? [09:23] what is ns2 simulator [09:23] mahisastra: check out ffmpeg and it's tools.. do a big of googling in that area. ubuntu has all the mplayer+ffmpeg stuff available but figuring it out will be the fun part [09:23] can any one tell me? [09:24] mahisastra: you might look at handbreak if you want a GUI [09:24] handbrake even [09:25] so yeah, major ubuntu doc fail here.. depricate linux-restricted-modules in favor of dkms and then dont' offer how to transition documentation.. bleh [09:26] how do I get the libc6 version on my system? [09:27] why isn't f4l(flash for linux) in the ubuntu repo [09:27] when is lucid coming out?

[09:40] Kartagis: 1.) nslookup is depreciated 2.) changing libc should not be done at all, [09:40] meowbuntu: it'll work. works fine on my 8.10 [09:40] ikonia, even dig cannot resolve it [09:40] magez: it's 8.10+ [09:40] Kartagis: then it won't be a libc issue [09:40] magez: sorry that was for meowbuntu [09:41] ikonia: all it said was upgrading libavcodec52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libpostproc51 libswscale0 , then setting up (all of them) , and finally ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [09:41] and that was that. [09:42] Name141: so nothing needs to be restarted then [09:42] OK. [09:42] hey so I'm trying to set up CoughPHP (ORM) on ubuntu and I'm getting a weird permission denied error from PHP even though I have the include file chmod 777 [09:42] Warning: include_once(/home/user/coughphp/extras/Autoloader.class.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied [09:42] ikonia, I take full responsibility, I've to try it [09:43] fearfail: failed to open stream - not file [09:43] What else can I do with this old machine anyway? It's a P2 450 MHz , 10 GB hard drive. [09:43] Kartagis: what are you trying to resolve ? [09:43] howdy. for some reason my sound is not working... when I first start it makes the noise at the login screen and I can play files via rhythmbox however, there is no applet for volume control and when I goto system/preferences/sound I get "Waiting for sound system to respond" also if I try to launch either gnome-volume-control or gnome-volume-control-applet from the cli I get "WARNING **:Connection failed, reconnecting..." over and over... any ideas? this is 9.10 u [09:43] pdated to the latest. I find it strange that I get the 'ding' when the login screen shows up and I can play stuff via rhythmbox but nothing else plays sound... [09:43] Ten-Eight, i have the latest ubuntu 9.10 shesh [09:43] Kartagis: if dig can't resolve it it won't be a libc issue [09:43] Kartagis: what version of ubuntu is this on [09:43] ikonia: elaborate, what's the difference and how do I fix it [09:43] All I got it running is eggdrops and energymechs [09:43] meowbuntu: it'll work. [09:43] ikonia, rapidshare and 9.10 [09:43] he llo [09:44] what does uh-huh means [09:44] Ten-Eight, i need the ubuntu 9.10 format skyp installer unless the older one also works [09:44] fearfail: if it was a file permissions you would be right changing the ownership of the files, however ask about streams in ##php [09:44] ok thanks Ten-Eight [09:44] meowbuntu: as I said, the version is 8.10 + (meaning 8.10 and later) [09:44] Kartagis: what command are you using that's failing [09:45] Kartagis: when I say what command, exactly what host are you tyring to look up [09:45] ikonia, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=161181 here is the problem [09:45] meowbuntu: it'll work just fine. I installed it on a 9.10 machine for a friend a few weeks ago. [09:45] Kartagis: that's a redhat bug [09:45] Kartagis: don't use that as a reference [09:45] Hello! [09:45] Ten-Eight, ok thanks again [09:45] help say me, pl [09:45] daiver: ask a question then [09:46] ikonia, my web browser can't resolve it [09:46] help me, please - how can I restore removed dir? [09:46] meowbuntu: no problem :) enjoy! [09:46] I've removed ir in midnight commander [09:46] !ask | daiver [09:46] Kartagis: can't resolve what exactly, what host are you trying to resolve exactly [09:46] daiver: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:46] it* [09:46] ikonia, rapidshare.com [09:47] Hi! I created a bash script that opens my application that is created with mono but every time i double click the script msg appears asking me what i want to do (execute, edit...). Is there a way to make it so that on double click the schell script would execute and open my program without any messages? [09:47] daiver, also dont ask over and over again [09:47] Kartagis: ok - I can say for a FACT that is not a libc issue [09:47] daiver: Is it a package? [09:47] daiver, are you trying to run a windows game in ubuntu [09:47] Kartagis: I'm using 9.10 and can resolve that fine, and nslookup and dig are not relevant to your web browser [09:47] no, folder [09:47] Vigo: no, it's folder. [09:48] meowbuntu: no. [09:48] oh ok what then daiver [09:48] !undelete | daiver [09:48] daiver: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [09:48] ikonia, netadmin said ubuntu with windows in virtualbox has that issue and it can be resolved by upgrading libc6 [09:48] daiver: Can you use or have you used the Recovery Console? [09:48] daiver, also check the trash bin they may be in there [09:49] Kartagis: do not do it [09:49] Kartagis: can you resolve any hosts with your webbrowser ? [09:49] meowbuntu: :P [09:50] ubottu: I'll try. [09:50] ikonia, other than rapidshare, yes. and my vm can resolve it too [09:50] Kartagis: ok so the resolver is fine [09:50] Vigo: how can I execute recovery console? [09:51] daiver: Can you embrace yourself and live with the fact you may lost the folder for good? [09:51] daiver: It is an option on boot, but what ubottu said is on time also.

[11:57] linxeh: I don't think there are any easy way to do that, but I may be wrong [11:57] Klanticus, As your system crashed I guess it would be wise to force an fsck on / booting on single user (from the grub menu) only then after that, sudo apt-get install -f usually fix broken installs. [11:57] linxeh, no [11:58] Klanticus: I accept it would mean reinstalling most packages etc, but I was trying to avoid the pain of reconfiguring everything (it shouldnt be that much different than doing a dist upgrade to a new release really?)

That's why you should just repeat (after waiting a reasonable amount of time) [12:07] uh hi, hope someones awake x.x; i got a bit of a sudden problem.. i was running nexuiz, tried applying graphics settings, whole system froze, so naturally i rebooted, i could barely read what it said because it went by so fast, but in g.r.u.b right before loading up it said something like "gpu is decapated" or something like that.. now compiz and emerald wont work, if it helps, i recently tried (and failed) to install new nvidia drive [12:07] rs, i say failed because every process gave an error saying no such file. (pressed up key, repost) [12:08] Phoenix_: pastebin the actual error [12:08] how would i do that while running the system?... (it was in g.r.u.b, during bios load) [12:08] a alternative on kde of gparted exist? [12:09] Yo yo [12:09] Serpico: I think you will get a (better) answer in #kde [12:09] Whopa! I successfully mounted my "corrupt" hard drive! Since I can do that, how come the system can't do that when booting? That is, the system seems unable to mount my hard drive when starting up.

[13:37] zotac: got a url as to where you got the info about those drivers at? (im bookmarking them to tell other people about if they ask in here) [13:37] zotac.com [13:37] Artemios: in terminal type lspci | grep VGA and paste it with http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [13:37] cjs: You can't type in remotely. It have to be done the first thing at booting. [13:38] zotac: those drivers seem to be for 8.04 and 8.10 - [13:38] I saw that, I thought they might work [13:39] zotac: theres a readme in the archive.. unpzck it and read in teh Ubuntu Dir. [13:39] I just don't know how to install it [13:39] zotac: basically install build-essentials and use make, sudo make install and hope it works [13:39] good luck. i gotta run [13:39] I' a real newbie [13:40] i would suggest just running normal audio cables then . and see if the next release has the drivers included [13:40] zotac: look for read me or install file and there should be instruction for install [13:40] red2kic: You can if you can somehow log in without a /home. :-) === e-DIO-t is now known as Chown-R === Chown-R is now known as e-DIO-t [13:40] Argh.

See !permissions and !fstab [13:57] ................. [13:57] abhilash: it should be mounted with read and write permission... which should be the default option [13:57] abhilash: simply make yourself a directory on the attached disk, and ensure that you are the owner.

Can I do that within the md? [14:14] Kitsune, yes its is atheros [14:14] tony37 open up a terminal and type lspci | grep Network [14:14] yeah i have done it [14:14] And what about a "biosgrub" partition? [14:15] JenniferB: You can adjust a zillion visual options with compiz fusion [14:15] ouch.. ok ummm, i had a bit of trouble from those before, did you install the proprietary drivers? the madwifi?

[14:17] is it possible to drag an open window to another workspace? [14:17] The main thing I'm having difficulty with is to get something that's a) bootable, and b) has a minimal amount of stuff, ideally none, outside of the RAID partition, so that I don't have to remember to update sdb after updating sda. [14:17] tony37 have you used ndiswrapper? [14:17] ugosan, no [14:18] how to use it? [14:18] then http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1369304 [14:18] sipior: If I lose sda and everything's in an md, I can just boot off of sdb. It's quick and easy. Restoring from backups is much more time-consuming. [14:18] cjs: you might as well ask, "if one disk develops errors, which are then silently copied to my raid 1 mirror, how will i boot?" [14:18] (And yes, I understand backups quite well.) [14:18] rolsworth: Click on the window. Hold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT-ARROW [14:18] tony37 see the last post [14:19] sipior: I've been doing sysadmin for close to 20 years now, and I'm afraid I don't buy your risk analysis. [14:19] ok that was it [14:19] cjs: do what you want, i don't care :-) [14:19] ugosan, ok [14:19] rolsworth: Or you could just right-click on the title and "Move to workspace " [14:19] I'm trying to figure out *how* to do what I want; that's the issue. [14:20] tony37 you will need to load a proprietary driver using ndiswrapper, follow the steps at the last post and you will be fine [14:20] sipior: I've had plenty of systems where sda (or it's equivalant) failed, and I just had someone pull it and continued to function just fine while making other arrangements.

How do you right-click on the window without using the mouse? ^_^ [14:22] ugosan, oh.. so what do i do? [14:22] red2kic: say abra ka dabra ? [14:22] the regular desktop is better for netbooks. the netbook edition is really slow [14:22] red2kic: your keyboard might have a key to the left of the right ctrl key [14:22] if I have an external hdd, and I want ext3 on it, how do I create it to be user-mountable when I plug it in? [14:22] ugosan, any other way to do it? [14:23] geekphreak: Bingo-o! Or you could just ... what thiemster said. :) [14:23] lorenzosu: hmmm. idk then. i'll look it up === carlos is now known as car|0s [14:23] lol [14:23] tony37 the way on the last post [14:23] o [14:23] I'm trying to do simple one-off scheduling with "at", why does this not work?: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/423359/ (does not launch gedit) [14:23] tony37 that describes the way without the ddiswrapper, you should try [14:24] red2kic: you can try this i think its same press alt+spacebar [14:24] ugosan, ok [14:24] red2kic: it will also give option for workspace [14:24] geekphreak: Not quite same but you're learning right there. :) [14:24] cjs: cant you boot directly from the raid disks? [14:25] red2kic: thank you sir :) [14:25] ubuntu does not have any good usenet software [14:25] arand: gedit does not know where to display itself [14:25] huh? [14:25] arand: do « DISPLAY=:0 gedit & » [14:25] geekphreak: If you have big monitor like I do (24"), compiz plugin "grid" is a must-have.

I mean one that shows existing networks. I opened Networ Connections, and I can click Add, but then it asks me for the information manually - I dont see where it might show me a list of available networks [14:26] arand: do « DISPLAY=:0.0 gedit & » [14:26] red2kic: compiz not working here after the update :( [14:26] geekphreak: :( [14:26] unless the list is meant to appear in the Wireless tab itself, in whch case maybe it's not working [14:26] can anyone help me to use the cat command - I have 3 files that I need to merge back into Antonio.vdi [14:26] hi [14:26] TomJ: try wicd [14:27] TomJ: clieck on the network manager icon. aviable networks should appear there [14:27] TomJ: idk if it comes with it, but if you can get it on a flash drive from a computer that has internet, that should work [14:27] antonio_: thats virtuabox files right? [14:27] virus: hi [14:27] antonio_, cat f1 f2 f3 > outfile? [14:27] antonio_ run "man cat" [14:27] acicula: It wouldn't boot after the last install. I just got a blank screen with a flashing cursor. [14:28] tried those already. they all are barebone [14:28] erUSUL: ok, then I think it's not working. under Network Connections nothing shows on the wireless tab. I just tried a manual iwlist wlan0 scan, and it said interface down, I then tried ifconfig wlan0 up, and it said "no such file and directory". some driever issue maybe? [14:28] rolsworth: well, just search online. you'll find something [14:28] cjs: not even in rescue mode? [14:28] erUSUL: Ah, that did it, thanks [14:28] Hm. So I can't put a partition table into an md device, right? I need to do separate mds for boot LVM? [14:28] I do have a wlan0 so it's detected wifi in some way at least [14:28] cjs: Sounds like you're having fun. ;) [14:28] geekphreak: I never got as far as seeing anything from grub at all. [14:28] there is none [14:28] thiemster: wicd not found on my xubuntu - I should install it? [14:28] TomJ: does wlan0 aappear on « iwconfig » output ? [14:28] red2kic: Yes, this has always been a joy with Linux. Not that other Unices are much better.... [14:29] TomJ: you could copy it from a flash drive if you have a computer with working internet [14:29] weird that no one developed anything decent [14:29] TomJ: it's not the best solution, but it'll work [14:29] erUSUL: yes it does [14:29] cjs: got a liveCD from where you can chroot ? [14:29] TomJ: « sudo ifconfig wlan0 up » [14:29] erUSUL: yeah that's what I already tried. I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" [14:29] geekphreak: I did, until I just wiped my partition tables just now. :-) (I wanted to see what the default LVM install does.)

[14:38] zoidfarb, first i would get it setup so that each screen runs its own x session. [14:38] erUSUL: is it definite b43-fwcutter? aptitude says couldn't find that package. [14:38] zoidfarb: if you're going to use a tiling one, I recommend awesomewm [14:38] !info b43-fwcutter [14:38] b43-fwcutter (source: b43-fwcutter): Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware.

[14:39] zoidfarb: if you want them on two different screens, I recommend using "startx" instead of the graphical boot screen. I'm not sure exactly how you would. just.... that would probablybe easier [14:39] test [14:39] zoidfarb, having seperate x sessions on each monitor still means you can use one mouse across two screens, you just can't drag app windows across [14:39] oh wait it found it now [14:39] pfoh: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [14:39] weird [14:40] ujia [14:40] anyone have further suggestions as to where i might find gutsy iso images. as i said all official paths seem to be hindered, i.e., http://old-releases.ubuntu.com and all mirrors have removed these isos. torrent is giving me limited success, i.e., not all versions are seeded any help would be appreciated [14:40] Hi Can someone tell me how to open a .bin file in terminal.

[14:42] meh in it a intel celeron [14:43] cape dehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [14:43] mkhanyisi: we need it for a university project.. i know there are sec. issues, but we want it for that reason exactly [14:43] wiiguy, yeah definitly go for lubuntu (the version of ubuntu thats setup with lxde isntead of gnome) [14:43] LjL: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Sttj0xUz [14:43] i have somethingg !!!

[14:44] Скажите, это канал об аниме? [14:44] 9.10 is very fast for me too, fast enough to play 720p video [14:44] !ask| mahasiswa [14:44] mahasiswa: 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. :-) [14:44] no idea what nautilus is :p [14:44] wiiguy, its the program that renders the desktop icons and provides the file manager interface. [14:45] wiiguy, its the window you use to browse files and folders [14:45] wiiguy: nautilus is the ubuntu file manager [14:45] mkhanyisi: ure a god-send, thx [14:45] !nautilus | wiiguy [14:45] wiiguy: kill it and see what goes away :) [14:45] pfoh, np [14:45] mkhanyisi, metacity is actually the program that provides the window frames [14:45] sjl: uhm, no idea. they seem *very* unrelated, as in not having any connection with the (two) dependencies of libxml2-dev... [14:45] I have problems again connecting to WPA in karmic. it keeps asking for passphrase over and over after I enter it [14:45] meh i have the official ubuntu cd here and i just installed it, and it is all faste enough [14:45] soon it will be 1gb ram btw [14:45] wiiguy, then why change ? [14:46] jadakren, yeah I know [14:46] LjL: yeah, and it's not just libxml2 -- I get the same list of packages to remove when I run 'aptitude install git', and git is already installed. [14:46] hello all [14:46] franck: hello [14:46] sjl: try "aptitude why-not " [14:46] jadakren i just like to know if 10.04 will eb as fast as 9.10 [14:46] ok i new try this forum [14:46] wiiguy, 'fast' is subjective. you'll need to find out for yourself. [14:46] wiiguy: is good on my system :d [14:46] LjL, what does the 'why-not' option do? [14:47] meh true [14:47] LjL: "Unable to find a reason to remove xbitmaps." [14:47] guess i will wait for another 512mb ram stick ro arrive :) [14:47] i've a problem with lucid and kvm, vhost worked with 9.10 but crash with 10.04 with error on virsh # start QDEV_LINUX1 [14:47] internal error unable to start guest: libvir: QEMU error : cannot change to '115' group: Operation not permitted [14:47] wiiguy: always a good idea mate [14:47] could you help me ? [14:47] please [14:47] when apparmor starts, it first calls a mountall but since i have 2 nfs shares in my fstab and apparmor starts before my wireless is configures, i get errors for the nfs shares. I tried making apparmor start my wireless script and wicd as prereqs and also tried making them be called before apparmor, but it always seems to call mountall before wireless is up. how can i fix this? [14:47] i want tutorial about startup manager in ubuntu !! anyone know information? [14:47] franck: #ubuntu+1 for lucid help [14:47] franck: yup [14:47] Every once in awhile when i log on (lucid), my mouse and keyboard are useless, but not every login. After a time they start to work again - is this a known problem? [14:47] wiiguy, i mean, 9.10 full compiz and nautilus bells & whistles runs a dream on my core2duo 2.3ghz 4gb ram desktop, bu my hp mini 311 atom280 1.6ghz 3gb ram doesn't like nautilus. [14:48] erUSUL et al, thanks for your help, working fine now [14:48] geekphreak: ok thx [14:48] wiiguy, desktop runs a dedicated graphics card and so does my netbook so compiz is great on both, but nautilus really slows the netbook down. [14:48] I thought, maybe there's a disk check going on in the background sometimes at logon and that makes mouse-clicks and keyboard not work until it's finished??? [14:49] i see [14:49] bye all [14:49] meh every time i install my video card on my netbook on ununtu all it will start is black screen [14:50] mnvhju [14:50] wiiguy, i think you need to specify boot up params on first install. [14:50] LjL: Is there a way to tell aptitude "just install this package, don't uninstall anything"? [14:50] TomJ: no problem [14:50] meh i guess i will try some other time :) [14:50] i've issues with DWL-G132 , karmic koala, ndiswrapper (by synaptic) and the winxp drivers of DWL-G132 , the 1.21 and 1.30 [14:50] help [14:50] jadakren and everyone else ty for all the help :P) [14:50] :)* [14:50] krabador, explain for the room what you've already tried and attempted. [14:51] my koala always asks for a keyring passwords when i boot and whenever it wakes up after hibernation... in the latter case it asks the keyring for connecting to the net with mu USB modem... wht is this keyring password?? [14:51] sjl: i doubt it - but you could use apt-get. you could also try telling aptitude to install all those packages it lists as to be removed (the downside being, aside from being tedious, that they will all be marked as manually installed) === lobfredd is now known as LOL === LOL is now known as Lobfredd [14:51] is it practical to run the netbook remix on a laptop that isn't a netbook? [14:51] LjL: yeah, and some of them do look unnecessary, but I'm not sure if anything I *do* need depends on them [14:52] Shamoun, for what purpose? [14:52] Shamoun, it supposedly has a kernel optimised for the atom processor. [14:52] jadakren, its a smaller notebook that i only really use for the internet and to write small documents [14:52] ah i see [14:52] well this is a core 2 duo [14:53] Shamoun, unless you want the odd desktop it has, i would just use ubuntu with openbox or lubuntu. [14:53] Shamoun, but again it depends on what you're trying to achieve? low power ? [14:54] Hello, can anyone point me in the direction of the best place for advice for a new linux/ubuntu user? [14:54] Where do I find the php5-json [14:54] package?.. its not in karmic.. but was in earlier versions. [14:54] Olejo: you're at the right place ;) [14:54] Olejo, have you read the ubuntu forums tutorials and tips section yet? [14:54] i installed ndiswrapper(from synaptic) , i installed the 1.30 drivers, i installed wicd (from synaptic), i typed iwconfig and i whatched the wlan0 (the DWL-132) , i refresed the networks with wicd , i select my net, and in autentiocation (i've a router with dhcp) it don't take the ip address. [14:54] help [14:54] :) [14:54] i restarted many times [14:54] krabador: yea [14:55] jadakren, battery life would be a plus [14:55] No jadakren I have not. [14:55] Olejo: This is the the place, the forums are good and any documents are good also. [14:55] Are these found on the ubuntu website? [14:55] jadakren, the system runs win 7 at the moment, so if that will give me better life i might as well stick to it [14:55] Olejo, it's a place where someone with someone patience can learn alot. [14:55] i know n the past windows used to get better battery life than linux [14:55] Olejo: just keep using linux you'll come to know its complexities and beauty yourself ;) [14:55] Olejo: is there something you need to know? ubuntu can get you pretty far without any serious linux knowledge [14:56] Olejo: There is tons of support mediums if you have any specific questions. [14:56] JackWat I am sure I will have many questions in the future, right now I am just starting. [14:56] Olejo: just jump into it. You'll start learning fairly quickly [14:57] Shamoun, Im not sure how good my netbook is with power and windows7 as i removed it five minutes after unwrapping the thing. although i assume you're familiar with the power monitor graphs etc ? [14:57] is there any good documentation on karmic's new init/startup stuff? if quite different than jaunty's [14:57] !upstart [14:57] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [14:57] jadakren, power monitor graphs? [14:57] Shamoun, yeah, screenshots incoming.... [14:57] kjdfi [14:58] saifulbahri: huh??? [14:58] keyboard works [14:58] how do i change the theme of my gnome login screen? [14:59] qwxqxxxxsx [14:59] upstart is whacked, unless its just that karmic uses a mix of upstart and old-style === bang is now known as Guest42195 [15:00] OK Question one, how do I open a download .bin file that is on my desktop? === mahasiswa is now known as iskandarmuda [15:00] mkhanyisis: I use to know that, let me look it up though,,,,, [15:01] helllo every body [15:01] Olejo, im pretty sure you just run it like ./file.bin [15:01] may i join with you...???

[15:10] Zell that is not a ubuntu support question [15:10] So I could infact transfer virus to windows user via email from ubuntu? [15:11] acicula: So my guess is that 10.4 installed a GPT and I had no BIOS boot partition, so Grub's first stage couldn't find its second stage.

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. [15:15] wildbat, kay [15:15] jadakren, thanks i have to make an account, one sec [15:15] Shamoun, not to view it surely?

[16:46] does anyone know is it possible to differernt backgrounds for each work space ? [16:46] I need to get this fixed, this is my web server. [16:46] ActionParsnip: there is ... it's just different from person to person ;) [16:46] rezzy: I have both installed. I have not decided which I like better..

[16:46] ok thanks alot :) [16:46] Taev: its probably dust [16:46] Omg ppl.. how do you do it.. thx for making ubuntu :) much better than windows!

[16:47] hello =) [16:47] tomorrow i'll start a new job, and i'll use there ubuntu [16:47] :P [16:47] hywb: windows cannot handle an idle cpu, which is why there will always be the idle process in windows [16:47] Taev: Well, you can try cleaning the fan, if not you'll have to replace it. [16:47] Odd... [16:47] cinelerra ill try that [16:47] what do you suggest me? install 9.10 and update it later, or install a 10.04 RC and update it gradually? [16:47] just got ubuntu 10 [16:47] its epic [16:47] but you don't think its a problem with my APCI? [16:47] Ubuntu 10.04 [16:48] Igoru: 10.04 is out in a matter of days, just hold out til then [16:48] Taev: what was the problem? [16:48] zen933k, any idea how ?

D= [16:48] ActionParsnip, thank you, i find it, because when i am in windows, the fan of my notebook will start at 5 minutes later after my boot, but 30 minutes when i am in ubuntu. [16:48] Any reason to wait? [16:48] Igoru: fun times :) [16:48] is there anywhere in ubuntu to tell me my system specs? [16:49] Taev: Check the forums for similar issues, it may be a software thing but if you didn't update and the fan just started acting this way then it may be a problem [16:49] ok [16:49] switch: i'll check it out :] [16:49] hywb: maybe the fan control needs some software shenanigans [16:49] thanks guys, and if there are any present, girls. [16:49] ActionParsnip: what do u suggest me? install the rc? === argh is now known as Guest30372 [16:50] Cameron_laptop: you can install a GUI called sysinfo. or look in /proc [16:50] timewasted, according to the bot on the ubuntu+1 channel, yes it will be a simple apt-get job [16:50] ActionParsnip, Are you sure? i never think about it.

[17:00] 10.04 [17:00] hywb: there is always a sensor anywhere in the mobo, that gives temp values to drivers of the os which control the speed of fan depending on the values it gets. [17:00] krabador: running straight to ndiswrapper for drivers is a REALLY bad idea [17:00] : Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: [17:00] Resource temporarily unavailable) [17:01] E: Unable to lock the download directory [17:01] !lucid > luis_ [17:01] luis_, please see my private message [17:01] while trying to apt-get [17:01] hywb: gpu and cpu both [17:01] krabador: there may be native drivers available to you [17:01] any ideas?

[17:04] krabador: once you know what chip it is you can find guides to make it work, you may infact need to run ndiswrapper but if a native driver exists then it will run better [17:04] ActionParsnip, great... i try [17:05] zoug, ActionParsnip said that because linux is different from windows at cpu idle management. If in this way, i dont think there is any solution.

[17:08] I'm trying to download Flash - it gives the option of "apt for Ubuntu 9.04+" - so I chose that, then firefox asks me which app to open in, with the default of "apturi", which fails with an error about "invalid channel".

[17:29] Prathmesh: you have to setit up on kde [17:29]  [17:30] does anyone know how to configure startup items?

[17:31] usr13: i'm on an hp laptop that has a harddrive that can be placed into the optical drive slot. so either i can use a cd/dvd drive, or i can use that harddrive. i want to be able to interchange, so that's why i installed ubuntu on the removable harddrive and thought i'd be fine.. but it looks like grub is requiring linux to be inside the computer [17:31] m0RrE: it'll take an hour, so thanks for the help :) [17:31] I dont know either I'm on VPN so dont know the actual big fish [17:32] UTF, flash just sucks on linux. there is nothing you can do. Is linux getting gpu support with flash? [17:32] Sorry I ll move to Kubuntu [17:32] geekphreak no "Warning: Suspicious file types found in /dev:" and "Warning: Hideen directory found: /etc/.java" and more. [17:32] AnxiousNut: np! hope you get if sorted out.! [17:33] rolsworth, it's a shame really... I really hope that HTML5 will wipe flash off the internet [17:33] rolsworth, works like a charm on youtube [17:33] plum: Yep. Well same answer applies. If you can use bios to tell your system what / where to boot, do it. i.e. F10 or F12 or something like that when you boot, or go directly into bios settings and choose drive to boot. [17:34] znxtch: did you look for files ? [17:34] usr13: but i selected my sda drive to install grub on in the ubuntu install (sda is my internal drive, sdb is my removable drive) [17:34] shouldn't it just boot from main, then? [17:34] znxtch: are you on lucid? [17:34] rautamiekka: /var/log/messages [17:34] I know what the files are [17:34] rolsworth: for me it's unplayable on this laptop. youtube is a slideshow. it worked ok on XP, it seems Linux flash is pretty terrible [17:35] I just didnt want to post them up incase they were senbsitive [17:35] yes I'm using Lucid [17:35] html5 using the cpu also [17:35] rolsworth, yah but it seems faster imo [17:35] flash uses the gpu and directx in windows so works better [17:35] znxtch: try asking in lucid channel #ubuntu+! [17:35] #ubuntu+1 [17:36] plum: If you can use bios settings to boot to another drive, (other than sda) (specifically sdb), then you can put grub on sdb and dissable booting to sdb on grub on sda. [17:36] plum: First see if that option existsts, (which it probably does) [17:36] Flash will never be off of the internet. Flash has a high compression ratio and is bandwidth friendly.

In other words, if I have 10 sub directories in root, how many files (folders and files included) are in each. Not size but number [17:57] <_pg_> switch10_: lovely. [17:57] Curly_Q: not to mention that 'wipe out miracle solution' is solution from and for another world. [17:58] <_pg_> switch10_: would have been good to know before I left. X( [17:58] _pg_: its a pain. I have been following the bug for about 6 months now.. [17:58] <_pg_> switch10_: i installed ssh just in case but i forgot to open port 22 *facepalm* [17:58] Xpistos: if uoi open terminal you see $ or # ? [17:58] uhm [17:58] hello all, I have a very basic question: I could not link... any program I try to compile example "g++ hello.cc -o hello" gives me ls: opzione non riconosciuta "--build-id" that is the italian translation of option not recognized any ideas? [17:59] <_pg_> switch10_: is there anyway i can ssh over 5900? cause thats already opened for vnc [17:59] geekphreak: # [17:59] _pg_: I don't know how to do it if there is a way... [17:59] Xpistos: you are root [17:59] yes [17:59] do i need to set up ssh in ubuntu to run freenx?????????? [17:59] <_pg_> switch10_: tarter sauce [17:59] es extension is wrong, should it not file.c [18:00] does anyone knows how to use fbset to disable framebuffer? [18:00] _pg_: are you using vinagre?

[18:00] <_pg_> switch10_: i installed tightvnc but never found it after that haha [18:00] geekphreak, it should not matter can be .cc/.cpp/.c/.f etc afaik [18:00] !ssh [18:00] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) === paparucino_ is now known as paparucino [18:00] _pg_: I think there is an option to ssh in, and I would assume it uses 5900... try that.. [18:01] Geekphreak, the problem with many installs is overlooked by many. Why? Because even though a new OS is installed when even a Dual Boot is called into play, the magnetic domains of the disk retain all of the old crap on the disk. If a sophisticated hacker were to take that into consideration, then any virii on the disk can be evoked. [18:01] <_pg_> switch10_: but how do i tell it to listen on 5900 and not 22 if i cant click anything? lol [18:01] es do you have gui running or just cli? [18:02] es: please paste the *exact* text of the error message to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [18:02] Curly_Q: i guess mate [18:02] _pg_: on your local machine, in vinagre, there is a drop down menu somewhere to switch from VNC to SSH. I am pretty sure... [18:03] Geekphreak, there are many programs that use 128 bit encryption to delete and erase the hard drive multiple times to clean up the disk and make sure that any iota of data is erased. [18:03] <_pg_> switch10_: server is vinagre- client is osx, just using terminal for ssh [18:03] _pg_: so you would be using vinagre as an SSH client... [18:03] geekphreak, it's a simple helloworld application Losha http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SqCh8inJ [18:04] Curly_Q, i think they just write random data over and over, as there is nothing to encrypt if your blanking the drive [18:04] good afternoon hardware ppl , how are we all doing ? [18:04] _pg_: I have no idea if this would work, I just remember seeing that option somewhere in vinagre. its worth a shot, it sounds like it is your only one... [18:04] Guest115: Yes. Also, you don't need so many question marks. [18:04] <_pg_> switch10_: i dont know what im doing. i installed openssh on my home ubuntu, im remoting in with vnc, but cant click. [18:04] Pelo wrong room? [18:04] kitche, you are correct .... [18:04] _pg_: you are remoting in with vinagre... [18:04] Doobry, good point. What the point is that it is a scrambled bunch of 0's and 1's. [18:04] there must be somthing broken in the build toolchain but what? everything it's pretty standard here [18:04] * Pelo feels dumb [18:05] es it kinda of means i think option unrconized [18:05] geekphreak, exactly [18:05] es do you have gui running ? [18:05] Sorry if this seems repetitive, but if anyone has installed ubuntu from a usb on a macbook, please let me know how you succeeded. [18:05] es: it's very strange. ls and ld are two completely different applications. g++ uses ld, not ls. So I don't understand why your error messages talk about "ls"... [18:05] geekphreak, running from command line [18:05] comfy: did you check the macbook documentation I sent you? [18:05] just installed chrome and it is much better than firefox.

[18:06] es: do you have any aliases e.g. have you defined ld as something? Type: alias to see... [18:06] _pg_: vinagre is a VNC remote desktop viewer..

[18:07] also if I use the -c switch everything works so sounds like a linking problem no [18:07] geekphreak, yes [18:07] Can I get "ls -1R | wc -l" on all the subfolders of the directory that I am in? [18:07] how do i change my network drivers from tulip to dmfe? [18:07] _pg_: I dont use osx so im afraid I cant help.. Sounds like you need to open port 22 on your remote machines router, or disdsable compiz..

And from reading on the web, it seems that by specifying "CoreDumpDirectory" it should create a core dump and then I can use gdb to see if there's a clue in there. I've specified it as /tmp/apache but even after it segfaults, there's no core being dumped.. [19:32] !ask | [criipt] [19:32] [criipt]: 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. :-) [19:33] sinisterstuf, ok :) [19:33] mark1: your drive should be in there, you can right-click it and click Sharing Options [19:33] mark1: same as with a file [19:33] mark1: are you sorted now? :) [19:33] azlon: here's the first https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba .... here's the second .. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html ... don't forget you have to add users to samba even if you don't want authentication.. if your machine is running the samba server and you want to create 777 permissions on files and directories on the share then you have to mount the share manually with mount.cifs [19:33] I ask again: How can I make an usb pendrive install disk, as my current system is, all apps included? [19:33] gnomefreak: It appears there's the same issue with Ubuntu 9.10 and it hasn't been resolved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/442795 Do I just add to that or create a new report since I'm reporting 10.04? [19:33] i am installing ktorrent [19:34] amereservant: use apport-collect 442795 [19:34] sinisterstuf, thanks dude that really helped a lot, only one more problem i have gotten an error when trying to share it [19:34] amereservant: than open bug up and let them know you see it too [19:34] i am on xubuntu now on pentium4 and in a few weeks i will be moving up to a sweet i7 rig [19:34] mark1: what is the error? [19:34] sinisterstuf, we are restricted to only sharing directories we own.

I have also tried Ubudsl but it will not play in 8.10. Is there another way to go around? [19:35] gnomefreak: apport-collect ? [19:35] mark1: in that case you need to share it while you are sudo (the super user) [19:36] is there any movie maker in ubuntu similar to windows movie maker? [19:36] sinisterstuf, but the harddrive is exturnal does that maybe have something to do with it [19:36] amereservant: yes use the command i gave you it will add files to the bug report for you [19:36] azlon: here's the mount command I put in ~/.bash-aliases to make it easier to mount.. I just type bpomount in cli .. #mounts the samba share on this machine with 777 permissions [19:36] alias bpomount='sudo mount.cifs //localhost/BPO /home//BPO -o user=,credintials=/etc/samba/smbusers,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777' [19:36] komadi: pitivi, kino [19:36] sinisterstuf, as in i must share it from the terminal > [19:36] gnomefreak: I've never reported a bug before, so I'm unfamiliar with the process. [19:36] mark1: you can either try change ownership of the drive from root to mark (or whatever your username is) using the chown command in the terminal [19:36] amereservant: please join me back in +1 [19:36] thanks. whr can i download? [19:36] Scunizi: thanks! i have mine is my fstab so i dont think i need the mount part, but these sites are great! thanks! [19:36] Scunizi: typo in "credintials" I guess [19:36] *in [19:36] mark1: or you can open terminal and type: sudo nautilus [19:37] mark1: that will open a new window as the super user [19:37] azlon: I tried to mount the samba share in fstab but haven't been able to find the magic formula for that.

[19:56] Scunizi: well, I found that all sudo actions are logged to "/var/log/auth.log", so it's all there - maybe that's the file you were talking about?

I always forget what and where it is.. [20:00] mark1: have you installed smbfs or samba? [20:01] Hi. I have ubuntu 10.4 installed in VirtualBox. When the login screen appears and I click to my username nothing happens. What's wrong? Thank you in advance. [20:01] Scunizi, i installed something to make me able to connect to the network but i dont know what it was [20:02] eralooks like you are using usb mouse and it is not recognized [20:02] !lucid > Era [20:02] Era, please see my private message [20:02] mark1: you might have to log out and back in again for it to take effect.. not sure.. I don't use the nautilus share.. I spent the last week configuring samba (I have a little hair left but now it's gray) [20:02] is it possible to set up different dns servers for different users.. all using the same computer [20:03] Scunizi: just got samba up and running somehow... ;) i think the problem was that i needed to create a samba user group, then add my login user to the group, then set a samba passwd... ugh... [20:03] meekatron: probably.. but why? [20:03] Scunizi, hahaha, i have logged out , and i am able to share but for some reaason i cant share with full non read only, it doesnt make sense [20:03] azlon: YEA! .. it's a pain isn't it? [20:04] i use open dns to filter out bad stuff but i dont want it restricted on my account [20:04] Scunizi: it still isnt setup like i want because anybody on the network can access the share, but im the only person on it and its to share my media... so f it [20:04] mark1: that's when samba comes into play.. just ask azlon.. he just got finished configuring his as well.. [20:04] meekatron: change dns from router? [20:05] is it safe to run hdparm on my "root" device? that is, the one I'm working on... [20:05] meekatron: not sure tho [20:05] zoug: yeah but i was thinking of a more transparent solution [20:05] Scunizi, the only thing is you make me worried when you say you spent so much time trying to configure it, cause i have no idea about how linux works , which means ill spent like 2 weeks trying to figure out samba [20:05] dacs, it won't work with mousepad too [20:05] meekatron: I use opendns on my router as well.. I just disable it at opendns when I need to get stuff done. [20:05] meekatron: i have a linksys wrt, but when i change my dns, it wont use it, instead the routers dns [20:06] mark1: have you tried looking at their wiki? [20:06] Scunizi: yeah thats what i have been doing lately [20:06] Scunizi: i'm sure you know what you are doing better than me, but this is what i have in my fstab to auto mount on boot: /dev/md0 /mnt/ArchiveStorage auto defaults 0 3 [20:06] lightpriest, whose wiki ? [20:06] Is there a way to align desktop icons to the right side, ala OSX? [20:06] sama's wiki [20:06] samba [20:06] mark1: maybe more.. you can look at the logs for this channel and search for my nick in a time slot about 30 minutes ago when I was sending links to someone else about samba.. they should help you out. [20:06] era the way i will troubleshoot it is put in a live CD and see it will work [20:06] my nick dacs is my sudo account in my srvr, i created a testuser acc...but when i log in as dacs i can't create folders or files ...please help [20:07] JetPackTuxedo: you mean the desktop icons? or an icon panel? [20:07] lightpriest, I mean desktop [20:08] Scunizi, thanks ill take a look just now, gonna try and see why im getting this error, i have network manager installed on my computer, do you know how i can open it, cause i have no idea where it is [20:08] azlon: you might find that when you read/write to that location the permissions are 755 meaning you can read/write/execute but everyone else can only read.. my storage partition is mounted via fstab but the share on that partition has to be mounted with cifs to make my files universally read/write [20:08] dacs, so you can log in as root and it's fine, but as a regular user everything is read-only? [20:08] i have server 9.10 running, and i setup samba using webmin. on my deskstop, using the 10 beta, i have my fstab setup for the cifs. when i did a mount -a, everything worked fine. i rebooted the desktop, know i get perm denied [20:08] mark1: usually up by the clock.. right mouse click.. [20:09] Hi all. [20:09] hi there, I just setup Ubuntu 9.10 and run Spotify in wine. it was working fine but now the sound has gone all distorted [20:09] anyone have this problem? i wasn't going to add details if i am just doing some classic newbie mistake [20:09] Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE cant have desktop effects? [20:09] !webmin | neothecat [20:09] neothecat: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [20:09] JetPackTuxedo: [20:09] yes [20:09] Scunizi, oh cool thanks a lot dude :) [20:09] i want to be able to have dacs access it as well [20:09] mark1: this is from memory 'cause I'm running kubuntu [20:09] Scunizi: okalee dokalee, thanks. i will look into ebox. [20:09] dacs, can you save to the desktop? Where specifically are the problems occuring? [20:10] is it safe to run hdparm on my "root" device? that is, the one I'm working on... [20:10] mot using desktop [20:10] *not [20:10] hello how are you doing [20:10] hmm, the sound from wine is laggy now [20:10] dacs, check the file/folder permissions [20:10] how do I tell which of my ram sticks are damaged? [20:10] edgy360: its "wine-ing" :) [20:11] is it normally laggy? [20:11] edgy360: have you tried configuring it in Full Emulator mode? [20:11] how would I do that? [20:11] edgy360: the sound part [20:11] Do you know who is on ubuntu? [20:11] edgy360: there's a wine configuration tool [20:11] winecfg? [20:11] ConcreteRose: you got a support question? [20:11] i believe so [20:11] Yes [20:11] it has tabs and all :) [20:11] ConcreteRose: spit it out [20:11] just open it up, and go the sound tab [20:12] what would I change there [20:12] JetPackTuxedo: drwxr-xr-x 11 testuser testuser 4096 2010-03-08 12:17 testuser [20:12] It seems that linux operating system, ubuntu. Is commonly well supported, uncommonly violated. Conclusive. But I wanted to report here that the memorization of ubuntu is lacking due to progress of its kernel. [20:12] lightpriest, should I make it emulate the sound drivers? [20:12] at the bottom of the sound tab there's Emulator options [20:12] yeah [20:12] try Fully emulated [20:12] from the combo box [20:12] ConcreteRose: that makes no sense [20:12] it worked best for me [20:12] !enter | lightpriest [20:12] lightpriest: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:12] lightpriest: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:12] oh ok... [20:12] :) [20:12] gibts nichts deutsches? [20:12] well got to go [20:12] bye bye [20:12] ConcreteRose: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:12] dacs, is testuser the account that didn't have access? [20:13] is it safe to run hdparm on my "root" device? that is, the one I'm working on... [20:13] hmm, still the same [20:13] JetPackTuxedo: yes [20:13] edgy360: try other ones [20:13] try half emulated, or medium .. i don't really remember [20:13] JetPackTuxedo: can i just 'useradd -G testuser dacs [20:13] lightpriest, do I need to restart the app every time I change the options [20:13] I'm trying to install 9.10 netbook remix onto an Eeepc 900. Can't seem to get past booting the (USB) CD. If I select the Install option, BusyBox errors out with stuff like "/init: line 1: can't open udevadm settle...". It doesn't seem to be physical disc errors. Any clues as to how to diagnose this? [20:14] edgy360: i believe so [20:14] :( [20:14] lightpriest, should I leave the driver emulation box checked? [20:14] so how can i use upstart to bring up my wireless as soon as wlan0 is visible to the kernel? [20:14] try it with and without [20:14] lightpriest: yes, as long as the partitions are read-only [20:14] dacs, I'm not totally sure. I don't run multiple accounts, but I would think that would work. It would add dacs to the group testuser. [20:14] Is there a support room for Wacom, Gimp or Blender? [20:14] I have a number of directories contiaining zips. http://pastebin.com/MZJpJ46f ... From the parent, I want to unzip all of them (from the command line) "unzip \*/\*.zip" doesn't work. Any ideas? [20:15] eww, its just dieing now lol [20:15] how do I tell which of my ram sticks are damaged? [20:15] Hey guys, I'm customizing a very minimalist version of ubuntu, and I tried to use SLiM for login manager, the problem is that it didn't let the live-cd user to autologin, and i believe it was what prevented "only-ubiquity" mode to function as well, so what I want to do is to remove SLiM and after the installation, install the .deb package, but how can I add this to ubiquity? [20:15] zoug: what does that mean? I want to run hdparm -Tt [20:15] Olejo, check the Support web pages for the various products. [20:15] what's the best way to find an overview of supported webcams? [20:15] Olejo, they may or may not be on other IRC servers. [20:15] Thanks ghoti [20:16] Lenin_Cat: do memory tests with each of the sticks removed. [20:16] I dont think it likes that checkbox [20:16] zoug: nm thanks, man states it should be unused during the test [20:16] !webcam > esperegu [20:16] esperegu, please see my private message === jmrodri-biab is now known as jmrodri [20:17] lightpriest: yeahh [20:17] lightpriest, would it make any better if I changed the sample rate [20:17] Hi [20:17] xangua: thx [20:17] I have a number of directories contiaining zips. http://pastebin.com/TEU8iPBp ... From the parent, I want to unzip all of them. "unzip \*/\*.zip" doesn't work. Any ideas? [20:17] i there some chat channel in some protocol for Empathy? [20:17] I'm sorry I posted that twice. [20:18] *eem for ubuntu in empathy chat channel? anyone knows? [20:18] can I set priority on my sources.list? [20:18] Italian_Plumber: man find [20:18] anybody know a good program on ubuntu for youtube ripping? [20:18] gmonnie, firefox extension download helper [20:18] Italian_Plumber: are you sure unzip supports multiple files at all? i have some vague recollection that it doesn't [20:18] I have a local mirror for all lucid packages, but I've custom built some that have the same version, how can I tell apt to install my custom one over the default one w/o hacking on versions? [20:19] Italian_Plumber: find /parentdir -type f -name "*.zip" -exec unzip {} \; [20:19] !lucid | Juzzy [20:19] Juzzy: 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 - Await the release in #ubuntu-release-party [20:19] Italian_Plumber: *.zip doesnt work? it does. [20:19] Kangarooo: the empathy channel woul be in the gnome irc network [20:19] ... [20:19] Italian_Plumber: in which case, try: for file in */*.zip; do unzip "$file"; done [20:19] sebner: its not a lucid question [20:19] its an apt/repo question [20:20] whoa. Okay, lots of stuff to try. :) [20:20] thanks [20:20] xangua, no i mean in programm empathy is there any support channel for ubuntu? like #ubuntu but in some protocol in empathy? couse in empathy i dont have irc. then why is empathy in ubuntu if i cant connect to ubuntu support channel [20:21] Kangarooo, read http://live.gnome.org/Empathy#Contact_Information [20:21] hey guys [20:21] one of my admins chmodded /etc to 777 [20:21] how do i fix it? [20:21] lenswipe: first, fire him. [20:21] lenswipe, second, chmod it back to 755. [20:21] Kangarooo: empathy supports irc; do you hace telepathy-idle installed¿¿ [20:21] have* [20:22] ghoti, recursive? [20:22] thanks [20:22] yes unzip does support multiple files. I've done it many times with zips in the current directory. I've also done it for zips in child directories, but I can't seem to remember how [20:22] Juzzy: check here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Use pinning to limit the backports repository [20:22] wouldnt happen to know how to convert it to mp3 would you? [20:22] lenswipe: did he chmod it to 777 recursively? [20:22] раз-два [20:22] ljl: k thx [20:22] I'm pretty sure it involved the unzip command and various other arguments. [20:22] gmonnie: to what? [20:22] is there a way to mass dpkg packages? [20:22] Italian_Plumber: check man pages [20:22] Juzzy: i think that approach should work for you, of course you'll have to adapt it to your specific case [20:22] #brasil [20:23] xangua, i have 10.04 rc installed and iirc then from one of 09. versions had empathy. bu why if it doesnt have irc. if that package telepathy-idle give irc option then it should be also by default installed [20:23] aj just pin * in that a= [20:23] nice [20:23] so ... this isn't so much a ubuntu help channel as it is a general help channel for people who use ubuntu. :-/ [20:23] thanks all, I just changed the sound driver in wine to esound from asla [20:23] how to extract audio, from a youtube video and make it an mp3 [20:23] ghoti, im not sure [20:23] Italian_Plumber: What about a find and pipe to unzip? [20:23] ghoti, if he has what do i do [20:23] Kangarooo: no idea why is not installed; if it's not then do it....for lucid try #ubuntu+1 [20:24] Hi. I have ubuntu 10.4 installed in VirtualBox. When the login screen appears and I click to my username nothing happens. What's wrong? Thank you in advance. [20:24] Juzzy: note that, if i'm not mistaken, packages from the "security" repository have a higher priority than default, so if you just specify >500, that might not be enough to bypass that [20:24] k thx [20:24] Hi how do I upgrade OS from live CD [20:24] lenswipe: Check your /var/log/messages to see what sudo logged. Or, if he didn't use sudo (i.e. he just did a "su" to change his euid), fire him. [20:25] Where does my file goes when i 'tar -zxvf' him ? (hello and thanks) [20:25] xangua, hmm it is installed [20:25] how can i use upstart to bring up my wireless as soon as wlan0 is visible to the kernel? [20:25] <_blackwater_> m4nfr3d in the same directory you issue the command [20:25] !lucid > Era [20:25] Era, please see my private message [20:25] Prathmesh, add the cd source in the application sources menu and run upgrade application [20:25] M4nfr3D: two things happen when you do that: 1) the .tar.gz files becomes a simple .tar file, in the same directory 2) files from it are extracted, wherever the .tar archive itself specifies. check with "tar -tf filename.tar" [20:25] xangua, but still i dont have irc [20:25] lenswipe: Frankly, I don't know the permissions of everything in /etc, but at the very least you chould `chmod -R go-w /etc` to make the system safe again. It may be broken, but at least it'll be safer. [20:26] apt updater ? [20:26] yep. and the source cd is added in the synaptic app [20:26] JetPackTuxedo: what's wrong (aside from about a thousand things) with dpkg -i * [20:26] LjL: i have never seen a .tar.gz file turn into a .tar file [20:27] I've done this when upgradint 8.10 to 9.04 [20:27] LzrdKing: ...? [20:27] LzrdKing: if you just "gunzip ...tar.gz", you'll end up with ...tar. [20:27] ghoti: same if you tar xf. [20:27] _blackwater_: ok, thk [20:27] LjL, nope. [20:27] aside from the fact that the latter *also* extract the files from the tar. [20:28] <_midwestward> how can i update my ubuntu server to the latest lts version? [20:28] LjL: you just said that a .tar.gz file becomes... whatever [20:28] LjL, would that work? I feel like I tried that. I'll give it another shot tonight when I am at my desktop again. [20:28] how do you change the port # for SSHd? [20:28] lots of answers, have to raed well [20:28] i just don't have any .tar files, they are all .tar.gz [20:28] LjL, no. If you gunzip ANY .gz, you'll get a version without the .gz. If you `tar -zxf ...`, the original .tar.gz file won't be modified. [20:28] in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [20:28] jeeves: -p [20:28] jeeves: --^ [20:28] ghoti: oh you're right, i'm sorry [20:29] ghoti, so, sshd -p ? [20:29] jeeves: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [20:29] jeeves: yes, and it's all documented nicely on `man ssh` [20:29] jeeves: make sure you install portsentry on port 22 afterwards :) === Doncabron_ is now known as Doncabron [20:29] thanks guys. I'm trying to modify the port #s on a DD-WRT box [20:29] LzrdKing: no, it doesn't really "become" a tar file - it it decompressed and stored with another extension === The is now known as Guest29030 [20:29] jeeves: you can also store this more permanently on a per-host basis in ~/.ssh/config [20:30] j [20:30] IFFW [20:30] guntbert: not in my experience,; they stay as they are [20:30] ghoti, ok, I need to store it for root [20:30] jeeves: `man ssh_config` for how to configure this stuff nicely. === viesturs_ is now known as viesturs [20:30] ghoti: er, /etc/ssh/sshd_config != /etc/ssh/ssh_config [20:30] ghoti, ok, thanks [20:31] Oh, woops, I didn't see that the original query was for sshd. [20:31] hello everyone [20:31] LzrdKing: if you gunzip them it happens exactly as described above [20:31] hello [20:31] looka me, I'm on the internet [20:31] jeeves: ya, look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config instead. But read the man page anyway. :) [20:31] yes, if you gunzip them === mike is now known as Guest42647 [20:32] * ghoti looks at Guest29030 [20:32] ghoti, ok, thanks. I need to get this home network "cleaned up". I'll be back to pick your brain about getting a D-Link WiFi card to work [20:32] but tar -zxvf doesn't gunzip the file [20:32] jeeves: don't assume that running sshd on a non-standard port provides any extra security... [20:32] ı have a problem with bluetooth. anybody interested? [20:32] hola [20:32] i have two different versions of ubuntu on my computer, 9.04 and 9.10. if i copy the 8.04 on to a usb and delete the 8.04 on the computer, will i be abl to boot the 8.04 directly from the usb? === KindOne is now known as KindTwo [20:33] ghoti, I'm not looking for extra security. I'm looking for if for some messed up reason the server goes down @ the house, I can remote into SOMETHING to poke @ the network [20:33] i mean i have two different versions, 8.04 and 9.10 [20:33] jeeves, do you have a machine elsewhere that is on a static IP and safe? [20:33] this is maybe the wrong place to ask but Im using xchat and wonder how i could connect to #debian === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [20:33] eli_: ask in #debian [20:33] eli_: /join #debian [20:34] If so, you could cause the questionable server to open an SSH tunnel that points to a local shell. Note that this is a BAD idea and you shouldn't do it. [20:34] ok I will try it out [20:34] ghoti, lol, nope. the ONLY thing @ this location that's secure (and always on other than the server) is the router. And I've got DD-WRT installed on it. [20:34] * brianherman 2 more days [20:34] thanks LjL [20:35] i have two different versions of ubuntu on my computer, 8.04 and 9.10. if i copy the 8.04 on to a usb and delete the 8.04 on the computer, will i be able to boot the 8.04 directly from the usb? [20:35] jeeves: a startup script that runs `ssh -R22222:localhost:22 -fNT host.example.com` might help you around some issues, including changing IP addresses. [20:36] <_midwestward> hey, how can i update my ubuntu server to the latest lts version? right now i am getting 404 errors when i try to apt-get [20:36] !oldreleases [20:36] hm, no.

[20:36] _midwestward: what version do you use¿ [20:36] ghoti, lol, no worries, I got it to work. Normally, I leave a Linksys WRTSL54GL @ the location with a 500Gb SATA 2.5" laptop HDD plugged into it as my remote access and backup box. [20:37] sounds like a plan. [20:37] ghoti, what I need to do however is to get my "Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)" to work.

Can't seem to get past booting the (USB) CD. If I select the Install option, BusyBox errors out with stuff like "/init: line 1: can't open udevadm settle...". It doesn't seem to be physical disc errors. Any clues as to how to diagnose this?

It is working but I cannot configure the tools, anyone able to advise? [20:43] wild4rd good evening to you.. [20:43] What? [20:44] Guest15640: please don't greet everyone who joins :-)) [20:44] i've tried to upgrade to lucid, but i've got an error while processing x11-common (--configure). can you help me, please? [20:45] guntbert is usually a good idea, don't you think... [20:45] I would like to use ubuntu 10.04, but I have a 1366 x 768 screen and ubuntu just uses more space in the GUI compared to my mandriva setup. Can somebody explain the difference?

[20:46] how can i convert pdf file to .doc ? [20:46] I have a problem with vnc: I have set up my home pc toconnectable through vnc but it is only connectable to from my home network. I would like to be able to connect to it from scholl andother places, a freind of mine is having the same problem. We both recently installed ubuntu. [20:46] How can i configure my eth0 to have the ip 192.168.0.10, atm its 192.168.0.50. [20:46] brontosaurusrex: no, the window bars are the same height [20:46] snowhouse: you have to port forward it on your router [20:46] random_: how did it get the wrong ip ? [20:46] oh thanks [20:46] jeeves: sorry, I'm not even sure what I'm looking at. we don't have an `lshw` command in FreeBSD, and all the drivers are different... [20:46] brontosaurusrex: but, e.g., firefox menu (with file edit etc.) is just larger by 4-6 pixels [20:46] ghoti, whats the default for /etc again is it 755? [20:47] erUSUL, it's technically not wrong, just what i dont want. [20:47] anodesni: bigger fonts? [20:47] lenswipe: yes [20:47] done [20:47] thanks [20:47] ghoti, lol, ok. I think I have to install MadWiFi (and I don't want to. I hate using "round arout" ways of doing things) [20:47] they both use sans 10 [20:47] np, but remember that lots of files in there are not supposed to be +x.... There's still work to do. :( [20:47] random_: sudo ifconfig eth0 address 192.168.0.10 up ; but if it got its ip via dhcp maybe changing it can couse problems [20:48] ghoti, I'm just looking @ getting the WiFi card setup as a "backup" if something happens to the onboard NIC [20:48] erUSUL, well worth a try [20:48] ghoti, ive looked through users .bash_history files and that other one you told me to check - i cant see who did that stunt with /etc [20:48] random : you dhcp server is set to release ip address automatically.. [20:48] brontosaurusrex: It's strange but ubuntu has always felt big (and sluggish) [20:48] ghoti, /var/log/messages was just a heap of numbers [20:48] ghoti, any ideas? [20:49] a heap of number? that doesn't sound right. [20:49] is there a difference between "top > system.txt" and "top >> system.txt" ? [20:49] lenswipe: from what I've heard so far, my instinct would be to "back-up and reinstall". Then implement finer-grained security via sudo. [20:50] wertwertgfhjrer: the first overwrites the file, the second appends to the file [20:50] wertwertgfhjrer: the first example creates system.txt. the second example ... ^^^ [20:50] random : ARE U THERE... [20:51] wertwertgfhjrer: >> will also create the file if it doesn't exist, depending on your shell settings. [20:51] anodesni: only app that really looks fat to me is xchat i suppose, but only since my res is quite low for 2010... [20:51] Guest15640, yes i am but i didnt notice since your using Random not Random__ [20:51] ghoti, i had sudo.....i just have a ****tarded admin screwing things up [20:51] brontosaurusrex: xchat on Mandriva is lean [20:51] anodesni: http://imagebin.ca/view/BOYkQ7.html [20:51] anodesni, ghoti, thx [20:51] wertwertgfhjrer: `man bash` and search for "REDIRECTION" [20:51] Guest15640: that about the dhcp server is not correct -- they never force a client to do something [20:52] lenswipe: but if your /var/log/messages is gibberish, that doesn't sound healthy. If THAT is busted, who knows what else is. [20:52] And you need logging. [20:52] ghoti, its just a column of numbers like 0020030133324 [20:53] and theres some other stuff in other columns [20:53] lenswipe: er... can you give me an example of 1 line? [20:53] brontosaurusrex: http://imagebin.ca/view/yIjbbn.html [20:53] random_: Please repeat your question.. [20:53] ghoti, sure [20:54] ghoti, loads of "Feb 28 12:59:49 trogdor -- MARK --" [20:54] OH. [20:54] That's not so bad. [20:54] not that big a difference [20:54] ghisen, and the occasional "Mar 25 20:50:06 trogdor ggzd: [408]: UPDATE 250801 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" [20:54] ghoti, looks like subversion is the only way to go. So, now that I've got ~80Mb to d-load, I may as well help some people in here [20:54] anodesni: thats pretty much the default ubuntu? i'd get rid of one of those panels [20:54] Something is logging things. Perhaps too much, but at least the log looks normal. [20:54] anodesni: keep one, and set that one to hide... [20:55] ghoti, not really informative though [20:55] brontosaurusrex: I'll show the difference with virtualbox [20:55] that's not the point. It's still a log. :) [20:55] Are you running something galled "ggzd"? === derpderp is now known as derp [20:55] ghoti: that got me courios too http://www.ggzgamingzone.org/docs/server/ggzd/ [20:56] where in ubuntu is screen resolution and font size config are present so i can change them permanently? [20:56] ya, I just found that too. [20:56] penocio, at text consoles, or in X? [20:56] ghoti: text [20:57] after the kernel update for lucid RC, grub no longer detects Vista on my other partition. How do I fix it? [20:57] penocio, sorry, can't help you there. [20:57] !lucid > hdpb [20:57] hdpb, please see my private message [20:57] ghoti: arent there any config files? [20:57] ghoti: ok. where in x. i have tried settings but every time i boot. its changed. [20:58] penocio, probably, but I don't know where they are. I could tell you in Gnome, or give you the xterm command line options, but outside of that I'm a FreeBSD user. And you don't want to hear about vidcontrol. :) [20:58] penocio: gnome, kde, or plain xterm? [20:58] kde [20:58] ah, again, I don't use kde. [20:58] ghoti, how do i search in terminal? [20:59] wertwertgfhjrer: find [20:59] sry i mean when i do man bash, ho do i search for "redirection" [20:59] brontosaurusrex: http://imagebin.ca/view/jmNJZbJP.html see the difference? [20:59] wertwertgfhjrer: afaik, gnome terminal doesn't have a search for its history. You can copy and paste it to gedit or gvim. [20:59] oh... [20:59] ctrl+z [20:59] for history search [20:59] ghoti: ok. where in x. i have tried settings but every time i boot. its changed. [21:00] wertwertgfhjrer: type `man bash`, then type "/" to start your search, then type the text to search for. [21:00] ghoti: bash can search in history; crtl + r and begin typing the search string [21:00] ghoti: history and grep? [21:00] oops, sorrry its ctrl+r [21:00] wertwertgfhjrer: type / redir [21:00] erUSUL/anodesni, he was asking about terminal though. Not sure whether he wanted to search commands, or their output. [21:00] hello, can someone help me setup networking over usb? [21:01] and as it turns out, he was asking how to search in less. :) [21:01] Vazz, do you want to run pppd on a USB serial port? [21:01] fair enough XD [21:01] ive got fedora arm on my toshiba g900 device [21:01] and fedora 12 on my desktop [21:01] erUSUL: can you help [21:02] this is #ubuntu [21:02] anodesni: yes, but thats not the same theme, isnt it? [21:02] i can connect to sshd on my toshiba [21:02] Vazz: http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ [21:02] brontosaurusrex: wait [21:02] penocio: with ? [21:03] where is the config text file that contains screen resolution ( i think its call *xorg.confg) and the files that has font size config. kde latest kubuntu linux. ? [21:03] Vazz: Is it the laptop don't detect the USB... [21:03] i can ping my desktop from device [21:03] penocio: for virtual terminals ( ctrl + alt + f1..6 ) --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [21:03] but i cant ping web... [21:04] Vazz: you have to set up internet connection sharing in the the desktop [21:04] !ics [21:04] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [21:04] brontosaurusrex: you're right, it is because of the theme http://imagebin.ca/view/K1SKet.html [21:04] <[InT]Intelligate> can anyone tell me where i can find an ircop? [21:04] penocio, most X configuration lives in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, though I'm not sure if that's the case universally. [21:05] penocio, that just gets X up and running. Applications (window managers, desktop managers, etc) are all in other places. [21:05] penocio: #kubuntu will be of more help for X problems [21:05] brontosaurusrex: but why is ubuntu using such a 'fat' theme and not a 'lean' one like mandriva [21:05] [InT]Intelligate: #ubuntu-ops ? [21:05] has anyone dealt with infiniband, mellanox connect X in Ubuntu 9.10 server, I need to install flint to update my firmware but I can't seem to get it installed [21:07] anodesni: I also do not understand why ubuntus default-theme changes so drastically with every single release... [21:07] fisons: so you know what you're running by looking at it [21:07] fisons: most people would be disappointed otherwise [21:07] fisons: it has always been brown and *cough* ugly [21:07] anodesni: its not only that it gets changed - its also somehow, hm, ugly by default [21:08] ;) [21:08] fisons: hope you like orange and purple... [21:08] i think lucid default is actually pretty cool [21:08] antix: it's auberge ;( [21:08] brontosaurusrex: its ugly too! [21:08] brontosaurusrex: only if you like a purple terminal [21:09] brontosaurusrex: using it right now - first thing one cannot understand: why did they change the min/max/close-buttons position?

[21:13] Prathmesh: are you using alternate cd to do a distribution upgrade ? [21:13] mark1: to change the owner you have to know the mount point.. something like /media/sda1 .. so once you know that then "sudo chown -R mark:mark /media/sda1" [21:13] anodesni: please stay helpful [21:14] guntbert: ok sry [21:14] Are the close/minimize buttons going to be moved back in release? The new style makes no sense, since it puts the close button right over the file menu. [21:14] guntbert: though it is true, and the only solution next to wine [21:14] mark1: you might not be able to see it in IRC but there is a colon ":" between mark & mark [21:14] Hey all - just installed kvm into ubuntu 9.1 - when I run "virsh -c qemu://system list" I get: "Cannot access CA certificate" - I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation -- what could I be doing wrong?

For example, I don't know what "when some pages dont wanna charge" means. [21:21] what is the best video editor for ubuntu? [21:21] some pages dont wanna load :) [21:21] mark1: put another quote mark in front of Media [21:21] mark1: and eliminate the one in front of sudo [21:21] yaaar: You could use the gnome keyring?

Try changing to other DNS servers and see if the problem continues.

[21:25] i'm frankly pretty floored that ubuntu has allowed empathy to be the default client when it forces you to store your passwords. particularly on systems that automatically log in a default user (which under many use cases will be used by multiple people, possibly with separate chat accounts) this is a security hole about a mile wide [21:25] ./stats o witney [21:25] tasslehoff: you could roll your CDs by hand using `growisofs` [21:25] Witney: #freenode [21:25] i mean, whatever...i can (and will) certainly install pidgin. but that doesn't mean what they shipped me wasn't broken [21:26] Viki is here [21:26] whos there?

[21:58] my browser(s) not working. Suspect problem with port 80 (because I can irc ok). How can I check/test port 80? [21:59] plum: i think you would use gparted to do that [21:59] ringer, you don't need to open a port to web browse, its something else. [22:00] Buhmillion, so how come I can irc but not browse. Any suggestions? [22:00] sinisterstuf: someone told me that i need to create /boot for grub to read it, and have that be in /sda. currently it is in /sdb so i created a partition for it already. now i need to change /etc/fstab to tell grub to mount a different partition and re-run grub-install [22:00] does that sound accurate? [22:00] ringer: check the settings so you don't use a proxy or something [22:00] ringer: perhaps your browser is not using the system wide proxy settings? [22:00] ringer, probably something with the browser? load up a ubuntu live cd and check firefox functionality [22:00] SharpKnife? [22:01] You mean SharpAmature [22:01] :) [22:01] Hey. How to block a shortcut (alt+f4) for some apps? I use FluxBox and Ubuntu 9.10 [22:01] plum: i don't know anything about fstab unfortunately, sorry, can't help :( [22:01] Ok, now how do I set up a network share with my printer and windows on Ubuntu 9.10 [22:01] okay. thanks anyway. [22:01] plum: have you checked help.ubuntu.com ? [22:02] mmica, System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts > alt f4 [22:02] Buhmillion, sinisterstuf zebastian it seems to be intermittent. That is why I suspect port problems. Chrome & Firefox both the same problem [22:02] thanks ;] [22:02] sinisterstuf: my question is very precise and very hard to find any answers relative to it on there. haha [22:02] i'm having some problems with my computer shutting down for no reason. It happens very fast, so i'm unable to read any error messages, etc. anything I can do to figure it out? [22:02] My Windows partition got pwnd by viruses. Anyone know a good program to wipe them out with from Linux? [22:03] plum: oh, i had hoped that by reading about fstab on there you might learn enough to figure out what to do, I'd be interested to know too [22:03] ringer, again, it could be something with the browser/OS/ driver/ whatever is handling http, so use ubuntu live cd as a test [22:03] Nanashi: i delete them by hand... but it sounds like your job will be too big, and you might not know what to look for [22:03] nanashi, not really [22:03] quick question on apt. what's the easiest way to install a package and its dependencies all using a particular version that's not the latest? [22:03] Nanashi: if your Windows partitio is infected, you should get data off it, and start over really [22:03] Busy channel: can anyone help with a Samba config file? I have everything working, I just need to specify which folders are shared, currently it's my entire /home directory. Cheers guys. [22:03] hello [22:03] sinisterstuf: ah, yes, i thought you meant something else. no i should go look into fstab. [22:04] Everyone excited for Thursday? [22:04] i'm totally new [22:04] ShakeyJake, just uncomment the part in there already about homw folders [22:04] sinisterstuf: Yeah, I went through and deleted anything suspicious. F-Prot says I've got 1 infected file but I know it should be more. [22:04] Nanashi: you can use as many security tools as you like for cleaning up a Windows partition, but you can't quarrantee that they have done the job properly, even if they have, and so on [22:04] any thinkfinger gurus around? i just installed it on the lucid rc (using the integrated reader on my dell xps m1330) and it works for some things and not others. i used tf-tool --acquire as my normal user, and /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable and the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file looks like the docs say it should. gksudo and sudo from the cli work with swipes, but i can't login... [22:04] ...or unlock the screen with them [22:04] Nanashi: F-Prot? [22:05] sinisterstuf: Interweb said it'd be a good think to scan with [22:05] Nanashi: oh, never heard of it. i've used avast, and avg free. [22:05] hey guys, i have a working dansguardian setup running, any idea how to setup virus-scanning on it? [22:06] Nanashi: but viruses will always be an issue in win [22:06] sinisterstuf: I installed AVG just before it went down. It was all glitchy and I couldn't run a system scan. [22:06] Nanashi: above that was meant to be, even if it seems that they have. plus your computer might be being used by malicious people once infected, so a good idea to do a clean install of the operating system. [22:06] Nanashi, AVG < AVAST [22:07] nanashi, just do claen install, theres no way to be sure [22:07] Nanashi: i agree with sebsebseb, save your important data and reformat [22:07] Nanashi : do use free anti-virus, instead look kaspersky; download and install, be virus free.. [22:08] lol @ Guest15640 [22:08] T__T I dun wanna hafta do a clean install. I struggled with windows far too long to lose all my settings now. I'll do what I can from Ubuntu but if all else fails... [22:08] Nanashi: I could even give you articles about how anti virus and such in Windows is rather useless, once infected [22:08] wait, unrelated, but how do you pronounce kaspersky, i think its kass per skee === neosimago1 is now known as neosimago [22:09] Buhmillion: kasPERskii [22:09] @Bumhillion, how do I then choose what is shared? [22:10] Nanashi: obliterate your windows partition hahahaha it's what i did and i've never regretted it, except some games don't work so nice [22:10] Nanashi, heres a tip. Reinstall windows, delete all bloatware, install drivers, configure settings, and then.... IMAGE IT!!!! then you have a perfect copy of your perfect system for next time [22:10] sinisterstuf: I bought this computer specifically to play games though [22:10] Need help. I dowloaded the vbox ose and im trying to install windows but everytime i get to the formatting step it just sits at 20% and freezes up. Any suggestions? === The is now known as Guest54085 [22:10] Buhmillion: good idea! Uhm, How do I make an image? [22:11] is there an editor so i can de-TAB what i have select? [22:11] i use geany [22:11] a lot [22:11] Nanashi: what kind of games? i think part of my problem is not-so-legally aquired games..... [22:11] siropio: gedit? [22:11] Nanashi - why not get a live disk? [22:11] Faratl: boo, I thought someone was answering /my/ question :( [22:11] sinisterstuf: yeah reformatting, but sometimes that won't even be good enough, so got to do a proper hard disk install instead. Really what people that must have Windows for a few apps since Wine won't cut it for example, and apps that aren't 3D, is if the computer can handle it, enough RAM and such, is run Windows in a virtual machine inside a more secure OS such as Ubuntu. Then if they get infected they can easilly use a clean copy of the vm [22:11] for example, and can copy them like a normal file. [22:11] Nanashi : instead use playstation...! [22:11] where is the config file which contains screen resolution and font sizes, in kde latest kubuntu. i have tried going to settings and display/appearance but at reboot it changes back.2. i have increased ram from 512 to 512m+1g. (p4 2.8ghz HT tech) but i still observe same speed/performance. why? [22:11] trinikrono, what is the shortcut for de-TAB? [22:11] Nanashi: which games? can get quite a lot of Windows games working quite well in Wine for example [22:11] Nanashi, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+image+a+partition [22:12] sinisterstuf: Knights of The Old Republic (legal), MMOs, Fable TLC (Legal) [22:12] siropio: you know i dont what de tab is [22:12] just now [22:12] sinisterstuf: uh above, proper hard disk clean install, that was meant to be [22:12] Nanashi: i think those work in ubuntu [22:12] sinisterstuf: I don't do all that much illegal gaming. And I don't even have bittorent on the windows partition [22:12] where is the config file which contains screen resolution and font sizes, in kde latest kubuntu. i have tried going to settings and display/appearance but at reboot it changes back.2. i have increased ram from 512 to 512m+1g. (p4 2.8ghz HT tech) but i still observe same speed/performance. why? [22:13] Nanashi: i don't often torrent stuff, i just hate DRM [22:13] Nanashi: have you tried you're games in Wine. also may be a bit slow or something, but 3D Windows gaming can work in Virtualbox 3.0+ [22:13] sinisterstuf: Ah, well, I used to torrent a lot... But none of that is stored on this computer [22:13] Nanashi, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+image+a+partition [22:13] sebsebseb: i installed winXP in a virtual box, it sucked, maybe it's cos my pc's specs are too low.... [22:13] i mean to get rid of the TABS when you are programming. for examples if you select a region of text and press TAB button they are getting in for a tab i want the reverse [22:13] !piracy | Nanashi [22:13] Nanashi: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [22:14] sebsebseb: sorry [22:14] Oops, sorry guys [22:14] siropio: i use gedit, there is a plugin for it, then you can just select the code and press ctrl+T to tab [22:14] siropio: or ctrl+shit+T to untab [22:14] Nanashi: anyway as I was saying for the games [22:14] Nanashi: tried any of that? === misnix is now known as StudyUrNme [22:14] anybody know why i can't login or unlock my screen using my fingerprint scanner and thinkfinger? i used tf-tool --acquire and /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable ...and sudo/gksudo work great [22:14] Nanashi: also do you play those games online? === sarah is now known as Guest27417 [22:15] hello [22:15] sebsebseb: Some [22:15] sinisterstuf, thanks a lot :) you are right UN-tab is more precice :P [22:15] does anyone use ubuntu on a computer like this: http://www.gearfuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/new-mac-pro.jpg [22:15] ? [22:15] Nanashi: have you tried the games in Wine or Virtualbox mabye Windows virtual machine? [22:15] if Nanashi 'struggled with windows for far too long' then i'm not sure you guys should be recommending relatively advanced things like partitioning. Nanashi, google for 'live CD' or 'live DVD' and find an image from a repuatble website to download and burn, then you can boot into linux and run from memory. [22:15] Nanashi: unfortunately i am under a lot of pressure at uni and don't get much time for gaming anymore, hoewver, when i get the new perfect world you should all come play with me, it works in wine :) [22:16] I would love to ask anyone who does if it is robust or does it have a prolbem where it sometiems breaks [22:16] where is the config file which contains screen resolution and font sizes, in kde latest kubuntu. i have tried going to settings and display/appearance but at reboot it changes back.2. i have increased ram from 512 to 512m+1g. (p4 2.8ghz HT tech) but i still observe same speed/performance. why? [22:16] siropio: you're welcome. was my answer helpful to you?

[22:17] where's the vsftpd.conf and how do i restart it? [22:17] mum-n-dad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:17] ringer: that's strange [22:17] Nanashi: going back to earlier, if your WIndows install is infected, you should clean insall the operating system, for various reasons. Windows support is off topic in here though. Virtualbox might be ok for your games, depending on your hardware, Wine may work as well. [22:18] Nanashi: try Wine first [22:18] can someone tell me how to partition the main hdd (the one that has ubuntu on it)? [22:18] sebsebseb: I will [22:18] Nanashi: and you can maybe get app help in #winehq if they don't seem to work [22:18] sinisterstuf, yeah, it's been happening on and off for a couple of weeks. Ever since I went fulltime Ubuntu [22:18] When I sudo modprobe ath9k I get error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/206880/ [22:18] !pxe === sekuoir is now known as DeutscheMark [22:18] sebsebseb: Except, I already know that KoTOR won't run in wine. I just tried it earlier [22:18] okay since nobody can tell me I will just try it myself and hope for the best [22:18] Gangrel: you must use a LiveCD so you can unmount the filesystem.. [22:19] ringer: i really don't know, if the problem persists perhaps you should report it? [22:19] How would I set up a printer share with windows XP. The printer is on my Ubuntu computer [22:19] Nanashi: perhaps you just need to fiddle with the settings? [22:19] sinisterstuf: perhaps [22:19] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt -- which one do you put on a USB ? [22:19] sinisterstuf, if only ther was someone I could report it to - am on my own here [22:19] hey, where is the SSH public key stored? i'm tryin to find it to upload to a server for authentication [22:19] !samba > aj00200 [22:19] aj00200, please see my private message [22:19] hi: i have a ide hard drive reader i'm that i'm trying to mount so i can have access to the ide hard drive. It works via usb. When I plug it in no window comes up. Any advise? [22:19] Nanashi: well ideally only use a pshyical install when you really have to, otherwise Ubuntu or some other more secure OS. and if you only use WIndows for your games, you will probably be alright [22:20] sudo modprobe ath9k == http://paste.pocoo.org/show/206880/ ??? [22:20] ringer: report it as a bug on the site [22:20] CaptainTrek: you want to log in with out a password? [22:20] aj00200: More specifically, you need a [printers] section in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file [22:21] sebsebseb: Kk, I've already got some experience with virtualbox. I already had a virtual machine of my Ubuntu partition running in windows so I just need to do the same thing but backwards. [22:21] thanks powertool08 [22:21] sinisterstuf, its a problem with browsers not working on my computer, not with any site [22:21] Nanashi: well [22:21] robo: perhaps it is there but just the window doesn't open, click Places and see if it's there === RedXIII`Alt is now known as RedXIII [22:21] Nanashi: the games you want to play are they 3D or 2D? [22:21] sebsebseb: 3D [22:21] robo: normally just in places then computer then refresh, if not try a different usb port, and possibly another pc. [22:21] CaptainTrek: it should be stored in ~/.ssh [22:21] Nanashi: 3D Windows gaming well there are some settings for them in Virtualbox, but [22:21] ringer: yeah, i mean report the browser problem on the ubuntu site where you report bugs, let me loog for it [22:22] Nanashi: they will probably run slow, if they work, depending on the hardware, #vbox for more info about that [22:22] Nanashi: 2D gaming on the other hand, I think will work well for most/all games in Virutalbox [22:22] sebsebseb: Most/All 2D games work just fine under Wine anyway [22:22] sinisterstuf and trinikrono, I don't see it under places. However, when i do an usbls i see it listed -- so ubuntu see's it.. it just doesn't mount it. [22:23] Nanashi: uhmm I am not so sure about that, but older ones are more likely to work than newer [22:23] sinisterstuf and trinikrono -- err lsusb [22:23] sinisterstuf, ah, got you. I can look for that thanks - as long as my browser keeps working ;) [22:23] Nanashi: 2D that is [22:23] ringer: hahaha goodluck [22:23] Nanashi : instead use playstation...! [22:23] robo: are you sure the partition is good? [22:23] Nanashi: if you re install Windowws like was suggested with good reason, and then only use it for the 3D games, you will probably be alright. won't just get infected with a virus for example that way [22:23] mozillanerd: theres only xorg.conf.failsafe. why. [22:24] what does this mean: WARNING: Error inserting ath9k_hw (/lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_hw.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [22:24] Tik tik boom [22:24] trinikrono, yes [22:24] it worked earlier [22:24] i did some sort of non-standard install, now i am missing things like 'hardware drivers' in the system menu, is there something i can install to install the common desktop ? [22:24] now it doesn't :-/ [22:24] robo: try a different usb port [22:24] yea, tried a bunch [22:24] restart the pc too? [22:25] yup [22:25] and tried combinations of plugging in the drive, plug in usb. plug in usb first, then plug in the drive [22:25] sebsebseb: Part of the problem is it took me a week to install windows last time I tried. [22:25] ubuntu "sees" it -- i just need to figure out how to tell ubuntu to mount it [22:25] Nanashi: Why? [22:25] are you guys good for asking questions re: iptables config or is there somewhere else for networking-specific help? [22:25] robo: if you plug into another pc it works now? [22:25] hi [22:25] it worked on a windows PC but it couldn't read it because it's an ext3 partition [22:26] what is a dummy package [22:26] ? [22:26] but windows 'saw' it [22:26] libsvn-javahl - Java bindings for Subversion (dummy package) [22:26] for dummies [22:26] Spoofscript: here or #networking [22:26] AR: aaaah [22:26] sinisterstuf and trinikrono, I don't have another ubuntu box to try it on [22:26] * facefaceface is a dummy [22:26] powertool08: thanks :) [22:26] <_bob_k> I may have found a bug in Empathy. Is this the right place to address it? [22:26] sebsebseb: Microsoft. I have two install XP install disks with uses left in them and neither worked [22:26] * facefaceface sucks it and sees... [22:26] Nanashi: what was that? [22:26] robo: you where not poking around in fstab where you [22:27] sebsebseb: Microsoft. I have two install XP install disks with uses left in them and neither worked. [22:27] guys, I experience pretty regular system freezes. Hard freezes... magic sysrq won't even work. Replaced video card, no dice. Replaced RAM, and it seemed to fix if for a few days, but after upgrading to Lucid, seems the lockups are back. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Could it be the motherboard? Something with Linux itself? [22:27] where do I talk kde issues? [22:27] Nanashi: uses left in them ??? === IPNixon-L_ is now known as IPNixon-L [22:27] d4non: you can try here or #kubuntu [22:27] sebsebseb: XP disks have a limited number of installs [22:27] trinikrono, no i wasn't [22:27] jbwiv: hard lockups usually indicate overheating [22:27] I've got a problem, can't alt+tab no matter what [22:27] dagny_taggart, really? interesting [22:27] kde 4.4 [22:27] sebsebseb: It's so that Microsoft can keep you from using software you paid for. [22:28] dagny_taggart, I can't get lm_sensors to work on my machine. It doesn't recognize my chipset. Any ideas on what I could use to see temps?

[22:28] Nanashi: sure and then you can phone up, and can use the install again, Windows stuff is off topic in here really, so pm me or maybe we go to ##windows [22:28] !mount > robo [22:28] robo, please see my private message [22:28] <_bob_k> I may have found a bug in Empathy.

They're not too bad [22:29] trinikrono, what am i supposed to mount? [22:29] what do i do if 'hardware drivers' is not a menu option ?

[22:30] i cant find the installer [22:30] where do you download drivers for linux from? [22:30] robo: you can install gnome partion editor [22:31] AR: ok, but you got the ISO downloaded?

PROBLEM [22:31] i downloaded the ubuntu install files yeah [22:31] but i cant find the installer [22:31] I dont know if mi computer will run Ubuntu :( [22:32] x59: it should... [22:32] x59, im using my 4 gigabite ram computer for it [22:32] if i can install it [22:32] but i cant find the install program [22:32] AR: yes [22:32] AR: ok [22:32] AR: did you download the .iso file? [22:33] x59: Ubuntu is not a M$ Vista ;P [22:33] is there a way to open a window over ssh onto a X server? [22:33] yeah but where is install.exe [22:33] AR: that's now how you install Ubuntu [22:33] My computer is a little old u___u [22:33] AR: well there is a way to do it from a .exe as well, but that's useaully not the best idea [22:33] I show you the especifications :D [22:33] do i need another program to install it? [22:33] AR: an ISO is the contents of a CD [22:33] X59 : look up : http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/index [22:33] Noble: my understanding is that the SATA spec says that devices are hot-swappable, but since all my SATA drives are newer and bigger than my IDE drives, I've never wanted to risk testing them. Also, just because the spec says the devices are hot-swappable, it doesn't mean the OS handles it gracefully. In my opinion, it's not worth the risk... [22:33] tvaughn: try ssh -X [22:33] all the other files dont work when i try to click them [22:33] AR: you need to burn the iso to a cd [22:33] Is there a way for my to sync music to my jailbroken iphone with Ubuntu? [22:33] x59: How old? ;> [22:34] AR: then you can burn the contents of the ISO to a CD, and boot your computer from it (ideally good idea to check that the download the ISO is good as well first) [22:34] well i dont want to lose my windows though [22:34] tvaughn: -X is for X forwarding, also, if you are trying to get the windows to show up on windows, you need to run a X server with cygwin or something. [22:34] AR: yes you don't have to [22:34] AR: don't click them, put the cd in the pc and then restart the pc and boot from the cd [22:34] i heard that there is a way to ruin your windows and a way not to [22:34] snoflake: this is probably someone that will be better off with Wubi to begin with, let's find out first though [22:34] loquitus: iphones sync OOTB with 10.04, jailbroken or not.

[22:44] sorry [22:44] <_blackwater_> bsmith093 you would also setup static IP's at least initially between the two devices interfaces.

[22:44] <_blackwater_> bsmith093 sure if you have connectivity [22:45] ringer: 189.80.71.242 is somewhere in Brazil... [22:45] canozan: you would have to back your data up either on another drive or create enough space on your drive and make another partition to store the date on.... [22:45] _blackwater_: i can see it in the list of possible network connections but if i connect to it i lose the wireless right [22:45] Losha, ok so looks like my router is under attack. Great :( [22:45] canozan: or else you would have to shrink whatever has the data, make a partition, copy data, and then carry on shrinking, growing and copying until your data is safe [22:46] i can't be on both at once right [22:46] canozan: and then you can carry out your operation and copy it all back === Dink|W is now known as Dink [22:46] ringer: what kind of router? [22:46] <_blackwater_> bsmith093 just so I'm clear, wired router you're actually using a home style wired router with switched ethernet ports and uplink port right?

[22:47] ringer: sorry, not familiar with them. Are you running any servers? [22:48] sno: should not be [22:48] the router i plugged in to my laptop currently is a efah08w [22:48] linksys [22:48] bsmith093, what are you trying to do? a thrown away wrt54g is probably a brick\ [22:48] is there anyway to find out what port mysql is running on?

[22:55] bsmith093: use network manager to connect to it [22:55] thanks a ton powertool08 :) [22:55] xomp: np [22:55] ok then 192.168.1.1 should work [22:55] bastridrazor: Thanks! [22:55] bsmith093: what do you mean 'shoudl work' [22:55] does nfs sharing have a gui component? [22:55] if you're not connecting nothing is going to work [22:56] guys, can i upgrade from linux mint to ubuntu directly? like if i change sources.list or something? maybe 'lubi'? [22:56] rdogg: no [22:56] then if i connect to eth0 that ip should load the wired router right [22:56] if you connect eth0 and its connected to yoru wired router, you should be able to access that router. yes. [22:56] ok then thank brb [22:57] JackWat: what about if i use lubi? its a program to install other linuxes from "ubuntu" [22:57] http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lubi.html [22:58] rdogg: i dont know lubi but taking a quick look it seems that it installed ubuntu instead of yoru current linux distro [22:58] so you would have a dual booting situation [22:59] wtf [22:59] JackWat: umm, what if i choose this partition? [22:59] it will install ubuntu instead of your current linux distrobution* [22:59] inside* [22:59] JackWat: no, it will install from a iso.. [22:59] JackWat: any distro [22:59] rdogg: are you trying to do a cd-less install? [22:59] how can I fix this pooched install of dovecot? http://pastebin.com/9XvHM0Pp [23:00] Losha: yes but i dont want to use Wubi [23:02] rdogg: fine. it will install any distro into the current distro. [23:02] rdogg: why do you not want to do a bare metal install of ubuntu? [23:02] guys, should I upgrade to 10 when it comes out on my Linode server? Or should I do a new install? I run a popular Steam gaming community off it and can't really afford the downtime for a new install (nor even an upgrade really) [23:02] xomp: i think its always better to do a fresh install but a distro upgrade will probably work [23:03] JackWat, ok, I'm currently on 8.04 LTS [23:03] xomp: things could break so make sure you have a backup [23:03] you may end up doing a fresh install anyway :P [23:03] JackWat, hah ok === jesse__ is now known as Guest14802 [23:03] xomp: the best thing to do would be to send the traffic for your community to a mirror machine until your upgrade is complete [23:04] nameiner: <3 [23:04] rdogg: check out the 'frugal install' option in http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [23:04] xomp: yeah, back yourself up, try the upgrade, if it doesn't go, then at least you'll have a backup, if it does, then fine, use that :), otherwise I'd suggest a full-install, less likelyhood of issues === DSC[ZzZz] is now known as DaveySC [23:05] xomp: if you don't want any downtime, you should wait at least a couple of months for 10.04 to stabilize before you consider upgrading.... [23:05] Losha, yeah that's what I may end up doing [23:05] xomp: you can always schedule a 'downtime' 24hours or so ahead of time anyway, and do it when low traffic occurrs, usually at nite [23:05] was going to install ubuntu 9 to my external HDD today but since 10 is coming in 2 days I'm going to hold off [23:05] xomp: there's another year of support on 8.04 I think. What's your hurry.... [23:06] ciao [23:06] ermm kai someone tell me how to add dual boot for ubuntu 9.10 and windows 7? [23:06] Losha, haha [23:06] qualcuno parla utaliano? [23:06] xomp: I wasn't joking... [23:06] italian? [23:06] !it | alessandro_ [23:06] alessandro_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [23:06] dsd [23:06] i got win7 and ubuntu 9.10 :) [23:06] df [23:06] just installed grub [23:06] and it did everything :) [23:07] Losha: good advice - I just spent a week messing around with 10.04 Beta, and finally gave up, and reinstalled 9.04. 9.04 runs very well on Dell Inspiron 8200 === deus is now known as Guest68223 [23:07] mozillanerd: well it is kind of an ancient machine :) [23:07] Ive used ubuntu on this machine for a while... recently I had to wipe my drive. Reinstalled an old version of ubuntu then upgraded to most recent. For some reason it compiz will suddenly disapear and shortly after the computer will logg off completely and Ill have to type my pw again. [23:08] mozillanerd: the fetish for always instantly having to have the latest and shiniest is such a waste of time, especially when applied to software... [23:08] this started AFTER installing custom desktop effects (spinning cube etc) but still continues after uninstalling [23:08] Ill mail a chocolate chip cookie to anyone tht can help me! === root is now known as Guest95817 [23:09] CreativeChemist: what does "old version" mean? [23:09] CreativeChemist, lol. nice. are they "special" cookies? [23:09] jrib, intrepid [23:09] naughty jeeves... === Bodsda_ is now known as Bodsda === derpderp is now known as PigFlu [23:09] CreativeChemist: you upgraded intrepid -> jaunty -> karmic? [23:09] any one know how install ubuntu 8.04 in ext4 file system [23:09] Losha, lol, gotta see if it's worth my time! [23:10] hello everyone [23:10] Guest95817: I think you can, but it won't be supported [23:10] Losha: what kind of fetish is it, when you use older version of my own app, cos i can't be bothered to upgrade? :P [23:10] any one know how install ubuntu 8.04 in ext4 file system [23:10] jrib, nope, followed the website for a direct upgrade to karmic... update-manager --dev version or whatever [23:10] wait [23:10] Guest95817: not supported, and probably doomed to failure.... [23:10] not karmic... whatever 10.04 is :P [23:10] Guest95817: apparantly can get similar advantages to Ext4, with XFS, but then you may also need a seperate Ext3 /boot partition for Grub [23:10] brontosaurusrex: :-) [23:10] Guest95817: not even sure 8.04 offers ext4 as installation filesystem type [23:10] CreativeChemist: erm, whatever website you followed advised you incorrectly. You may have a broken install. Why don't you just install karmic fresh? [23:10] Typos_King: yes it doesn't [23:11] jrib, ubuntu.com was the website :P [23:11] CreativeChemist: I guarantee you it did not tell you to upgrade directly from intrepid to lucid [23:11] Guest95817: not to mention I've noticed no real advantage when using ext4 rather than ext3, I'm on ext3 [23:11] mm [23:11] it did [23:11] CreativeChemist: link? [23:11] only site i trust [23:11] Typos_King: heretic... [23:11] just a sec [23:11] Hi - what is the most elegant way of running a script based on an event, the event being 'lsusb' has 'Apple, Inc.' in the output [23:11] hehhe [23:12] im interesting in the speed boot [23:12] after editing /etc/network/interfaces (added wpa-psk/wpa-ssid/address/gateway etc.) and running "/etc/init.d/networking restart" iwconfig still shows a blank SSID under ra0 (the interface im configuring) - what might I be doing wrong? [23:12] might reboot again as i search [23:12] Guest95817: booting speed? was the same with both, at least for me, was the same when running too [23:12] but in ubuntu 8.04 mi graphic card work best [23:12] Guest95817: I don't think mixing 8.04 with ext4 will speed up anything, except perhaps a nervous breakdown... [23:12] Typos_King: Guest95817 I did in 9.04, with the optional Ext4 support, that is not properly stable since kernel and such. In 9.10 nah, except for the faster disk check after 23 or so boots. [23:13] ok [23:13] help [23:13] jrib, meh its freezing.. but thats where it said. Doesn't matter. I cant install the new one fresh because it breaks wireless [23:13] Deleting a very large or a lot of small files versus ext3/4, its a lot faster in ext4 [23:13] i carnt get my wireless working but only on ethanet connection [23:14] Guest95817: ok [23:14] jrib, and I don't have a wired connection (tis in roommates room and dont want to sit in her room while I try to fix it) [23:14] CreativeChemist: I am telling you it did not say that because that it isn't supported. Anyway install 10.04 correctly if you want and then head over to #ubuntu+1 for support as it's still not released yet [23:14] Guest95817: well you can try 10.04 released this Thursday, however 8.04 also gets certain advantages over 10.04 really. Also 8.04 is supported on the desktop untill April next year. [23:15] duffydack: heheh, I recall to have done so.... I don't recall noticing the 'a lot' speed between either [23:15] Guest95817: plus 10.10 gets released in October, and there are other good distros out there as well. Anyway which card? [23:15] yes, but the problem is y try whit beta version of ubntu 8.04 , but the graphic performance is low [23:16] Guest95817: of 8.04, you mean 10.04? [23:16] sorry y try whit ubuntu 10.04 [23:16] Guest95817: ok what are you currently running? [23:16] backtrack 4 from usb [23:16] Guest95817: The beta is pretty old. [23:16] jrib, easier question, how do I switch to metacity then back to compiz? [23:16] Guest95817: also there was/is some sort of xorg issue in 10.04 that makes things slow, but that will be fixed by the final. As for Backtrack 4 that should only realy be used by security professioanls. [23:17] which might fix the issue [23:17] Guest95817: it is not really a desktop/laptop OS, it's a special security testing distro [23:17] yes but i just try it [23:17] Its not supported here as well. [23:17] Guest95817: plus as Pici pointed out, Backtrack also isn't supported here [23:19] Guest95817: time to answer sebsebseb's question about which graphics card you're using... [23:19] now just wait for 10.04 , whit fast or equal grapich perfomance [23:19] Guest95817: that depends on the card [23:19] ati radeon express 200m [23:20] whit 512 of memory [23:20] * wildbat dances~ [23:21] y older version of ubuntu the performance is great , but from 9.10 an more the graphic permormance is low [23:21] Hi.

[23:50] fresh [23:50] new computer [23:50] rolsworth: oh 10.04 is quite differnet to previous versions, you'll see [23:51] Gerrit: or can't be sure, I think it worked for me... can't recall, either way, I changed my Grub timing or 'timeout' in /etc/default/grub to 30, and that's how long it waits till defaulting [23:51] i am using it right now [23:51] hey all [23:51] Pici: on the ubuntu installer in partition manager (i think it's step 3 or 4) it automatically selects my internal harddrive unless i have free space on my secondary harddrive (which it then uses as ext4) [23:51] Gerrit, try holding Left Shift directly after seeing bios screen [23:51] Network [23:51] just a new theme. i don't see anything ground breaking [23:51] What is the ubuntu network? [23:51] is there any way i can specify which hard drive to install on? [23:51] rolsworth: I tend to get bored of these more recent versions of Ubuntu, before the final is even out, since tested in development. Anyway off topic [23:51] plum: The last time I used the LiveCD, it had an option to partition the disks manually. [23:51] plum: sure, on the install screen, choose 'manual' [23:52] ZykoticK9: Just now I hav held down the left shift from initial boot all the way until I get the kdm login screen... no grub [23:52] Losha, lol, your command didn't work. :-( [23:52] :) See [23:52] okay, will do [23:52] RDS101: You mean which network is this irc channel on? This is freenode. [23:52] fine day for friends [23:52] i'll be back if i have issues, thanks guys [23:52] Gerrit, i don't know then. Best of luck. [23:52] so-so day for you [23:52] Oh [23:52] i notice with empathy when it marks you as away it does not change no matter what [23:52] ywgx: do you have a support question? [23:52] got a wubi/grub(2)/nVidia question for anyone so qualified [23:52] Real, the network of ubuntu [23:52] actually last question... is there any thing i will lose if i have ubuntu on ext3 instead of ext4? [23:52] is that connected to the network of freenode [23:53] I am first useing irc [23:53] plum: depends on the version === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [23:53] is there any other way to get into grub? Can I in some way change the configuration so that it shows the menu in any case? [23:53] sebsebseb: it's 9.10 desktop [23:53] RDS101: irc.ubuntu.com is a pointer (cname) to chat.freenode.net [23:53] Oh ok [23:53] :) [23:53] plum: 'lose'? like what? [23:53] Good [23:53] ywgx: Please join #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't have an Ubuntu support question. [23:53] To know [23:53] RDS101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:53] Flood? [23:53] You mean water flood? [23:53] plum: by default 9.10 is Ext4 for clean installs, same thing for 10.04, but upgrades from 9.04 to 9.10 won't be Ext4. Just like upgrades from 8.04 to 10.04 won't be. and yeah 10.04 final is out this Thursday [23:54] RDS101: flood, as in 'too many too fast' [23:54] Gerrit, grub1 is in /boot/grub/menu.lst I think [23:54] Typos_King: like for example, if you move from NTFS to FAT you won't be able to change permissions anymore [23:54] oh ok, am i fast? [23:54] vilemaxim, yes, that's GRUB 1 [23:54] RDS101: If you don't have an Ubuntu support question, you may /join #ubuntu-offtopic === jsidhu___ is now known as jsidhu1 [23:54] vilemaxim: I don't have such a file. I guess I'm on GRUB 2, since I'm on Kubuntu 10.04 [23:54] Oh ok [23:54] Great, so lets join it [23:54] plum: then there was optional Ext4 support in 9.04, that really did make a difference, but also wasn't properly stable, since the kernel and such. I tested 9.10 clean install with Ext3 and Ext4. didn't make much differnect at all. However for the automatic disk checking after 23 or so boots, with Ext4 much quicker than with Ext3. [23:54] plum: I've used both, I saw no advantage to ext4 :|, I'm on ext3 [23:55] plum: when I say tested, I mean the boot up and shut down [23:55] sebsebseb: that's odd.. it doesn't seem to be too big a difference then [23:55] On 10.04b2 wubi install with grub 2 (i think) and current nvidia drivers, boot progress screen graphics are extremely low-res. Any way to fix? === geeneeus84 is now known as fumetsu [23:55] addchild314 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion. [23:55] Gerrit, maybe startupmanager will help. aptitude install startupmanager [23:55] plum: in 9.04 it did, espesailly with a nice text boot up, but yep doesn't seem so for 9.10 or 10.04. [23:56] i apparenlty just replaced a switch with a hub on my network to resolve appearantly random internet crashes was that a good idea [23:56] if i get this all configured and everything, i'll be on 9.10... will i be able to cleanly upgrade to 10.04 when it gets released then? [23:56] plum: Sure. [23:56] bsmith093: hubs are no good [23:56] bsmith093: but temp fix sure [23:56] Gerrit, it will appear in your System -> Administrator menu [23:56] sounds great. thanks a lot everyone [23:56] why not [23:56] plum: why did you do 9.10 with Ext3? [23:56] bsmith093: a hub just blasts traffic to all ports, regardless of who it is intended for [23:56] Gerrit, I think it will allow all kinds of modifications to grub. Hope that helps [23:56] bsmith093: a switch sends packets based on the MAC of the device attached to it [23:57] vilemaxim: ok, will try [23:57] bsmith093: (or IP depending on layer switch) [23:57] brb [23:57] sebsebseb: my bootloader that allows me to run snow leopard and windows, only recognizes ext3. so i want to be able to boot all 3 [23:57] bsmith093: basically hub = messy/busy [23:57] windows, mac, linux [23:57] Gerrit, I have not played with grub2 too much. I've installed it a few times, but nothing broke yet so.... [23:57] plum: 10.04 gets released tomorrow, why not just install it then? :P [23:57] plum: hrm on a real Mac? [23:57] sebsebseb: nope, windows laptop [23:57] Typos_King: plum no it gets released on the 29th Thursday [23:57] plum: ok the way you done Mac uhmm [23:58] well i have talked extensively with time warner cable and they said the problem was the switch [23:58] plum: not peroperly legal, if at all really [23:58] plum: so, 2 days... IMO better a full-install than an unnecessary upgrade [23:58] bsmith093: what's between TW and your switch?! [23:58] sebsebseb: you could be right there [23:58] a router linksys wrt54g [23:58] plum: Is 9.10 on there yet? [23:59] (btw I am starting to HATE empathy, someone tell me I am crazy, just got kicked for clicking the stupid green envelope) [23:59] bsmith093: ok and a switch is connected to that? [23:59] nny: oh [23:59] sebsebseb: it is, but i can't boot it at the moment because the bootloader doesn't see ext4 [23:59] yes [23:59] bsmith093: (or hub) [23:59] plum: uh which version of Grub? [23:59] hello all [23:59] vilemaxim: I wonder if grub may be running but invisible due to monitor/display issues [23:59] where are you from? [23:59] bsmith093: well the switch could have been faulty, so the hub would have "resolved" the issue, but overall you'll want a switch connected. [23:59] (by running I mean showing itself) [23:59] internet to modem to router to stuff and hub to more stuff
